Hi there, I thought I submitted a grant yesterday but just looked and it hadn’t gone through. I am currently struggling financially as I’m recovering from Christmas and had to miss my bills last month in order to pay for the Christmas period. I’ve also recently been evicted from my home in Tredegar and am now living with my partner and her family on the condition that I pay towards food shops, bills,and buy my own things, I’ve been unable to pay my phone bill this will be the third month so I will have an outstanding balance with 02 of £76 as I don’t get paid from up until the 8th of next month. I can’t afford to pay for food, now afford to pay for my own basic needs such as deodorant or travel, I’m lucky Enough that my partner is happy to pay for my cats food until next month. It’s a lot to ask for and I’m sorry for that, I understand if it’s too much to ask for but it would help me get back on my feet until next month. Once I’m feeling better within myself and physically I plan on going back to work but due to mental health and physical health ( recovering from bowel operation & suffer with severe mental health such as personality disorders and depression ) it’s difficult to find work or build the courage to go back to work and once I’m back on my feet fully I plan on donating to your charity you’ve given and I give back. I know this is a lot to read but again even just being able to talk about firstly my financial situation and saying that I’m struggling has helped me. Sounds odd but it’s first of all humbling and is slightly motivational for myself & also being able to talk about it to someone I don’t know and won’t see is great! Thank you for taking the time to read this.

We don't allow reoccurring grants set through open collective, we ask that you don't set your grant to reoccur automatically as it adds strain to our grant team and can create duplicate expenses.
