best of luck

Hi,

(Hope it's okay to ask this on this forum, if not - apologies)

Erm... If anyone can spare a bit of food, I'd be very grateful.  I'm having a daily nightmare - I work what is barely part-part-time and at best, only earn the same as my monthly bills.  Still looking for additional work a year later.

I haven't looked at a food bank around here and as it takes a while to get paperwork sorted and accepted, I can see that I've left it too late right now - otherwise I wouldn't be so 'shameless' as to try to scrounge a bit of food here, now..  Wanted to do mini-allotment but a) can't really afford to use so much water, and b) snails devastated my tomato seedlings a couple of weeks ago.  I would eat the marigolds the snails barely touched, but they are poisonous... :)

If anyone can spare whatever, I'd be ever so grateful.  Physically, I feel pretty much like c**p lightly warmed up by now, every day.  I've suffered this situation stoically for a very long time, I don't like importuning people.  I'm not cheeky or lazy, btw, and am loathe to do this, I do have some self-respect and sensitivity towards others, but my body is telling me that food is no longer an optional extra after paying bills month-in, month-out.

In case anyone has got whatever to spare, obnoxiously fussy or not as it sounds, I'm a vegan and have been so for several years.  Rabbit food would do... :)  I'll throw in that I have two cats I adopted from an animal shelter almost four years ago now, who have eaten and eat better than I do, all things considered (the way life is isn't their fault), dry food and a shared packet of wet food, but there won't be much wet food this month.

Life is pay bills, get food for cats, then anything left to buy tiny bit of food for myself, if I'm lucky.

This isn't a sad violins put into words sales pitch, I hope I'm not so crass, I just try to be sincere.

Again, sorry to beg here, but grateful for any grub to get through tough moment.

Also, evidently, as they said in the '30's, and the' 70's, and these days: "Will work for food."  And grateful for any such opportunity.

Thanks.

Sorry to learn of your situation. Are you still in need of food this week? I would like to help provide you with some food for you and your cats  and or perhaps toiletries. If you have had support for this week please feel free to to pm me should you need some help next week.

I have had several lengthy messages from the OP. This guy is in desperate need of help until he gets back on his feet. He has been very frank with me about his circumstances.

I am arranging for him to get food, toiletries and cat litter tomorrow.

Does anyone have Butano they could deliver to him or arrange for a bottle to be delivered. He has spun out a bottle since Xmas and will not use it for cooking therefore cannot have hot food.

I really hope someone can confirm that they will provide the gas before he goes shopping tomorrow morning. 

Also flea drops for his cats would help.

He can collect supplies that he can carry in Mazzaron. 

Perhaps someone in Mazzaron or Camposol could start a collection for a few basic things to be dropped off to him.

Hi, does he have empty gas bottle? I will take it and get it refilled, I will also try to get some bits together, although I must admit not totally sure what he can eat as he is vegan from what I understand 

Cheers Paul

Hi Paul his gas bottle, as I understand it, is empty. If you could contact him by pm he will be very appreciative of any offer. He can let you know what food to get. 

We can't get to him until next Saturday but will meet up with him then to get him some much needed food and toiletries.

Thank you for responding to my request. I truly believe this to be a genuine case.

Hi, I understand you need gas, food (vegan) and cat food.

Do you have an empty bottle, if so I can take it to be refilled, I will have a look in our store cupboard or see what you could use is there somewhere close to your home, where I can pickup the bottle, don’t walk with it, because I will bring some other supplies as well

Best Wishes 

Paul
