**PLEASE READ/SIGNAL BOOST**

Hi everyone, my name is Gemma and I could really use your help.

As many of you may or may not know, I’ve been struggling a lot these past few months with my government, benefits and trying to keep my home. I have been trying very desperately to sort out my Universal Credit benefit, as my mental illnesses prevent me from working and just before Christmas, I had to attend a WCA (Work Capability Assessment) and my benefit was sanctioned and reassessed due to it, causing me to struggle with my rent and bill payments, I currently owe £179 to my rent and £241.73 to my overdue bills which have built up over the past few months.

My current U.C benefit is (£196 P/M) and on March 16th, 2018. I received the outcome of my assessment and I’m heartbroken to say that I scored 0/15 points on the assessment, meaning that I do not qualify for the limited capability for work elements of U.C or any additional support. This decision was brought forth due to the fact that I can wash and dress without much difficulty and can converse with people, even with my anxiety and stress. (All evidence of this has been attached to my YouCaring).  
I have tried to appeal this decision several times but before I am able to do that, I need to wait for my government to do a “Mandatory Reconsideration” on it and then wait for the outcome of that before being able to start the appeal process which can take up to 4 – 6 weeks, often longer.

These past few months have been a roller-coaster of hell for me, I’ve almost lost my home (I am still in danger of being homeless if I miss a rent payment) and I have been on the verge of starvation a few times due to myself not being able to afford groceries. I’ve tried my local council, food banks and churches for help but I have exhausted all available help from them and they aren’t able to assist me anymore. I also don’t have any family or friends to turn to for help or live with and I sold most of my belongings a few months ago when all of this started.  

I really am so sorry to have to ask for help again, but with my rent urgently needing to be paid on

Friday, 30th March along with my other bills. (My rent being £179 to be paid fortnightly or £358 P/M). I really am struggling and I don’t know when my benefit will go back up or when I will hear about the reconsideration and until then I really need help with my rent, bills and getting groceries for April and May. 

Please consider helping out by donating, if you can, to my YouCaring or to the PayPal and Ko-Fi links below, sharing would also mean the world to me.

I also understand that everyone is struggling, but even just £1/$1 makes such a difference. And if you don’t agree with this post or “e-begging” please don’t comment/send hate, just ignore this and be kind. Thank you 🙏💖💖

Thursday, March 22nd.

Please consider helping out guys if you possibly can. My rent and bills need to be paid in 8 days (March 30th) and I urgently need help to pay them and get groceries. 🙏💖

**Clarification: My rent is £179 a fortnight or £358 P/M. I am trying to pay it in advance for the entire month of April & May, so I don’t have to worry about being evicted during the 4 – 6 weeks that I have to wait for my WCA appeal.
