Help!

[ccmarques]

Hi everyone,

I hope it’s okay to post this here. I’m finding things quite difficult at the moment. I’m a single mum to a 5-year-old child, currently unemployed, and I’ve been struggling financially and with my mental health.

I know times are hard for many people right now, so I feel a bit uncomfortable asking, but I’m really struggling to afford basic groceries at the moment. If anyone has any advice, support, or knows of any help available, I would really appreciated it.

Food bank is closed and I need a referral

@Mumsnet why was my post deleted? I provided details of organisations that may be able to help the OP.

I did not delete anything

I didn’t say you had. (I was asking Mumsnet)

I’m not going to retype the list of organisations I suggested could help you. Maybe @Mumsnet can reinstate it.

Given the circumstances you have set out it doesn’t seem like getting a foodbank referral would be an issue for you?

I got a referral from Citizens Advice, but my food bank is open on Mondays, and the next one is far for me, and I don’t have money even for transport.
