Urgent help needed for food and school supplies ​ ​

​Hi everyone,

​My name is Simon. I’m 22, and I’ve been raising my 13 year old brother alone since our mom passed away.

I’ve been a freelance writer for years, but work has completely dried up as AI replaced the few gigs I had left.

​I have spent the last few weeks doing casual jobs, but right now, even that work has dried up.

​My brother was supposed to go back to school last week. We haven't had a proper meal since yesterday, and I don't even have the money to get him the books and uniform he needs for school.

​I am just asking for a little help to get us through today and tomorrow while I keep searching for a solution. Even 100 shillings would help so I can at least get food and find the energy to keep going.

​I’m so sorry to ask for this, but I’m just out of options today. I’m happy to provide any proof to confirm I'm telling the truth.

​Phone number: 0140498708

​Thank you for even just reading this.
