I am currently seeking work so my income (unemployment) is extremely low. My city is also 3 x the national average of unemployment according to 'official' statistics, so it's hard to find work, especially as I have no special education and some physical problems meaning I can't do hard labour or heavy lifting. I know some ppl refuse to believe it, but in some places of the world (UK for me), finding a job is legit that difficult.
Anyway, I have £0.66 in my bank until 1st Dec, and nobody to help me. Food banks are too far away on foot given my physical problems (nearest one is 4 miles) and it's raining/icy right now. I have tried selling some things on 3 different websites (local collect type websites cos can't afford ebay) but nobody's biting yet.
Any ideas on surviving until I get paid on 1st December? I contact the Jobcentre every week to ask what they can suggest, but they just keep saying 'borrow money from family' or 'go to a food bank' and I keep telling them it's not possible sadly, or I would.
My cupboards are literally bare and my fridge-freezer is utterly empty. Since I can't have my heating on either, I'm cold, hungry and getting overly-emotional about the fact.
Don't have enough Karma to use the acts of pizza sub or similar and as I say nobody else around to help or bring me food or anything.
Thoughts?
P.S. Please don't tell me to 'go get a job', I am trying. I am so tired of hearing people tell me I could 'get a job if I really wanted one'. The real world doesn't work like that for everyone, unfortunately. Thank you for reading.
Edit: Thank you for your kind words and helpful suggestions, I'm going to look into all of your app and website suggestions straight away, I appreciate the civility it's a rare thing to see on Reddit sometimes <3
