I need help to keep my lights & heating on!!
*URGENT: PLEASE READ/SIGNAL BOOST**
Saturday, November 6th: Hi everyone, I’m Gemma, a bi, mentally ill disaster, who has had to remake this post as I'm still in desperate need of help to keep my utilities on.
As most of you are already aware from my previous posts, I have been struggling financially for quite some time due to my welfare benefit (Universal Credit) being under a review and pending an assessment. It has also been incredibly difficult for me to get by, as my application for Disability (PIP) was declined and due to Covid, I have been waiting almost a year for an appointment for a WCA (Work Capability Asessment) from the DWP, which is to assess my mental and physical health.
The photos above are of my utility meters currently, and I desperately need help to keep them on until my benefit payment at the end of November, but from the amount in them, they won't last. (It costs £40 to keep my electricity meter on for two weeks!! So it'll be between £60-£80 for the month and another £40-£60 in my gas, and as we are coming into winter that will only increase) I've applied for the warm home discount and are waiting approval.
My goal is £140, but if anyone could send me £20/£30 for my gas/electricity meters, just to keep them on, I would really appreciate it.
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 is obligated in any way to donate if they can’t or don’t want to, I know we’re all struggling right now.
