At the moment, I have absolutely no income. For the past 3 years I have worked retail but after finding out April 2017 that i have heart failure (due to what they think was a virus when i was 13 that left me disabled… i am now 26) I am in the middle of losing my Job. Which would be fine, but I have no sick pay left as it runs out after 6 months and isn’t reinstated til April.
I was supposed to be losing my job due to ill health over a month ago, before it ran out. However the HR department of my company decided to interfere with the written agreement I had to forgo my rights to seek financial compensation from the company so that they could fire me more quickly, and allow me to get the government aid that can only be applied for if you don’t have a job.
If I just quit I cannot apply for the aid for 36 weeks. I really need some help to get groceries and basic supplies (laundry powder, toiletries etc..) for this month and it is so important that I get these essentials as I have regularly skipped on eating for the past few weeks in a row now to try and make ends meet.
Unfortunately it has taken such a toll on me that I have just come back out of hospital after collapsing from my blood pressure being 243/187 which basically meant i was a step away from a heart attack, and my blood sugars being so low (5.3) that i was at risk of a diabetic hypoglycemic attack.
I live in the UK so, luckily I do not have to pay for medical aid, but I havn’t been able to pay any of my bills. I live alone and have sold everything I can and I have removed any utilities that I can/not in contract with. I wasn’t expecting any of this to happen so I have no savings. I do have commissions open and you can message me about those.
If anyone could spare any amount to help me, even if it’s just £1/$1/€1, it would literally save my life and, sharing definitely helps just as much as donations. Nobody has to donate if they can’t or don’t want to, I know we’re all struggling. Thank you for your help 💖
