Just feel let down:(

    Hello @simi1990 and a warm welcome to the community. Very glad to have you with us.
    Are you a good mother? I would stake my life on it.
    Sadly, this is the world as it is. We can find money for all kinds of things, but as a society we seem to strive not to find money for people who genuinely need it. 
    Please don't hesitate to ask for or about anything here, and if anyone can help they will. We most of us know only too well what it is to have to depend on others, and most of the time it just sucks.
    I haven't the slightest doubt that you are doing a great job - to the best of your ability - in the most difficult circumstances, that you are courageous (though you will deny that) and actually rather special.
    Here and listening,
    @JennysDad

    Hi @simi1990, and welcome! It's great to have you here.

    I'm so sorry to hear about how you're feeling at the moment- I'm sure many others on the community will be able to empathise with the struggle of fighting for support. Is there anything in particular you're having a hard time with at the moment?
