So deflated 😩
Show your support
@Hattie Thank you chick 🥹 I don’t get any help from my sons father we arnt together he’s basically absent 😔 so all the bills fall on me. I have had a look at food bank I just struggling to get to them as I don’t drive eather x
Not sure where you are but where I live there is a food bank who will bring you food and I've even seen that they top up people's electricity etc in emergency cases. Have a look on local Facebook groups, you can even ask anonymously. Have you looked at a benefits calculator online to see if you're claiming all that's available to you?
Where abouts are you? I am happy to help with anything you may need. I am also a single mum and get no support from her dad at all so I understand where you are coming from. I also drive so can help if you are local ish to me? You can private message if you prefer. I am always happy to listen if you need an ear 🙂
Have you looked into the healthy start card? (Think that’s what it’s called), but each month I believe they top up money, for milk, nappies, veg & fruit etc!
You are not a shit mum. You love your son and are doing your best for him. You are going without so he can have all he needs, that makes you gold star mum if not a diamond mum. Times are tough for a lot of people at the moment. Have you tried looking into local food banks or charities which may be able to help with that side if things? Not all of them need the stamps/slips from gp/Council.
