hey tumblr. i thought i wouldn’t have to do this any more, but it turns out you can’t trust people at all lol

i need £631 to pay rent arrears and two outstanding utility bills. you can donate here.

i’m a bi, transsexual gender-nonconforming russian-jewish man living in extreme poverty in scotland.  i’m also a crippled wheelchair user, on the schizophrenic and bipolar spectrums, have severe developmental-disability level ADHD and am unable to work whatsoever. i have zero family support. i spend 70% of the time in bed due to extreme fatigue and chronic pain. i currently get around £127 a week from disability benefits and this is nowhere near enough.

my flatmate is supposed to be paying half the utility bills but she’s been consistently flakey with that and seems to expect me to pay the full electricity bill for the last couple of months, as she messaged me and the friend we’re renting from informing us of the total and making zero mention of whether she’d be contributing. my landlord initially seemed open to accepting late rent payments but recently has told me he cannot wait 6 weeks for my local housing allowance application to be processed. it looks like i’m on the hook for both the leccy and the internet bill and i owe £500 in rent arrears. 

i’m at my wit’s end. i thought i had gained some stability when i found a semi-permanent housing situation, but people on whom i depend to stay housed consistently act like i have vast untapped reserves of money i can conjure up at a moment’s notice, despite the fact i am estranged from my family and the only financial support i have rn is a) begging on tumblr b) my gf, who’s an unemployed part-time student. people irl mostly treat me like shit and expect me to Be Responsible, as if i’m not already going days without food to make ends meet. 

please, i’m begging you, i need help right now. i don’t have anywhere to go if i lose this housing situation as i do not have a credit history and have consistently struggled to find a landlord willing to take a chance on me, leading to me living in temporary, abusive situations for a year in 2016-2017. 

i understand if you cannot afford to donate, but please reblog if you can’t. i am trying to get my life together and i just need some help until LHA.

hey!! i have just over half of what i need rn!! i can pay utility bills but i’m still around £300 short of rent!

still need £331 to be able to pay rent arrears! i would like to avoid using my ESA payment to pay rent, bc i need that money for food and other necessities!!
