If you struggle with the language barrier as well as everything else that is going on it makes things that bit harder.

I volunteer at CAB, we usually try and get people in to see our translator if we can, even when their English is good because we think it is better for people to be able to communicate in their natural tongue. If you struggle to register for things whatever the reason, and you have plenty, then it is worth seeing if there is someone that can help you.

Oh, Offred, have a large Flowers for CAB work! My county council has totally axed funding Angry Proving hard to raise much indignation locally.

Sorry for the side-track, Panele.

Offred · 03/01/2016 00:07

Oh yes we are about to lose a lot of funding too. The volunteers will keep things together here. We have volunteer advisers who speak other languages common in our area.

Hi Panele, it is very hard in a second language with the doctor. I know, I have the same problem where I am now. Please try to find the website about applying for social housing (a house for you and baby that will be free for you) on your local council website. If you don't understand something, post it here and someone will help. Also, talk to your doctor about the rape and ask them for their help with finding social services help. You need lots of help right now from the council/doctor. CAB means 'citizens advice bureau'. It helps people who need it for free, it helps them with translations into Lithuanian and the house problem. I think living with someone who does not believe you were raped is not good for you and the baby. If you don't understand the English here, please just say and we will write it another way.

panele01 · 05/01/2016 19:01

Oh panele definitely not stupid, that's what happens when you don't have anywhere to live.

That's one of the many reasons being homeless is a terrible thing and why you need help.

panele01 · 06/01/2016 23:23

Panele, have you used the Self-Help tool here? www.croydon.gov.uk/housing/optadv

Read all the links. Do not assume you won't qualify, even if they say you won't. Your residency status could cause a problem, depending on what it is, but your pregnancy will trump a lot of problems.

Also please speak to Shelter. You are homeless even though you're not on the streets. Shelter should be able to talk you through things.

Go for it! Good luck.

panele01 · 08/01/2016 15:10

GarlicBake,no i haven't,i did't know anything about it,i am in too much stress right now,my mind can't even concentrate about myself and about the things that i do,its because i am at my mother's place,having to deal with all the house duties,i mean do them ect,my poor mind SadSadSadSadSadSadSadSadSadSadSadSadSadSadSadSadSad I don't know how much longer i will take it,i don't know about things in this website at all SadSadSadSadSadSadSadSadSadSadSadSadSadSadSadSadSadSad
