Okay I really didn’t want to do this but here goes.

My name is Neil, and in March the UK Government stopped my Disability Living Allowance, They may be switching me over to PIP but that’ll take at least six weeks from today. I have a condition called Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita, which makes doing certain jobs pretty much impossible for me as a way to earn extra money.

Since March I’ve been working as a Tutor and I’ve been doing some freelance writing.

Right now I’m living hand to mouth, I could just about afford rent with my jobs paying out, but at this moment jobs are few and far between. At the moment I have £20 to my name, my phone bill coming out tomorrow that’ll be wiped out.

I usually don’t like to do this but if you can help in some small way I would be so grateful. If you know of anyone who needs a proofreader, or a tutor for Mathematics and Science, please point them my way.

If you can afford some small donation so I don’t get hit with monster bank charges next month and be able to do some small food shop, I’d basically die from the kindness of strangers and I’ll try and make things square when I can.

Thank you for reading this.

@thebibliosphere can you boost this? You have more people than me 🙂

Absolutely, @youthoughtiwasasleepdidntyou do you have a PayPal email you can throw up for us? I’m on mobile and so I apologize if I’m just not seeing it.

The switchover to PIP in the UK is a nightmare. My little brother is still waiting on his, so you have my full empathy for going through the process.
