single mum at 22 struggles: dwp delays child benefit
hello people, i am a single mum whos been crushed by the cost of living this month, my baby is just 3 months old & shes been crying/screaming on and off since last night from hunger as my feeding is limited(PCOS) and i've ran out of formula, i tried to budget but the rent took everything i had, and i couldnt risk being without a roof in this weather. I have applied for child benefit and im looking for remote jobs so I can work whilst looking after my girl, and i haven’t heard back from dwp or any jobs. I honestly hate having to ask like this, and feel ashamed, but if someone out there sees this and can help spare any change so i can stock up on formula id be eternally grateful, even a small amount will go a long way right now. my paypal is: carlybaker2002 . Or if you’re located in the midlands and have spare formula you can donate please message me. please dont feel pressured or obliged, but if you are in a position able to help it would mean the world. its humiliating for me to do this, and i understand that some people want to know more, so please dont hesitate to msg me and i can prove everything to you. thank you for reading please keep me in your prayers this is the most difficult time of my life
