I'm so grateful for the help I received previously and tried to make it last until the end of the month, but with prices being so high now, it was impossible.

I'm going through a disability benefit appeal. I have no money at all, I've maxxed out my overdraft and I have no family to help. I'm 5 months in rent arrears and so stressed about dealing with all of this on top of having medical treatment, feeling so ill and learning to cope with my recently acquired disability. I've written about my medical issues on here before but can give details again if anyone's interested. The food bank is difficult and time consuming to access, trying to live off the food bank left me going hungry for long periods.

I don't dare to accept money because the DWP (the government organisation who deal with benefits) are checking people's bank accounts and I hope to get my benefits reinstated, I'm worried if they see money going into my account it will cause problems for me.

So I would be immensely grateful if anyone could help me out with any type of vouchers/gift cards that can be used to buy food in the UK. Supermarket gift cards (there's Sainsburys/Tesco/Asda/Marks&Spencer in my town), a justeat voucher, an amazon voucher that I can use to get things from amazon pantry. Anything like that. I do also have an amazon wishlist that contains things I really need like laundry disinfectant, toiletries etc. I did ask for some help getting the laundry disinfectant on here but received no help with that. (I need to disinfect my laundry due to my lowered immunity and regular skin infections) Food is a more pressing issue though. Or even someone actually ordering food to be delivered to me.

I have nowhere else to turn, and no other source of income right now, and no ability to get any more credit from the bank. I would be so grateful and relieved for any offers of help.
