Helping hands

Have you ever been in a situation where your life is going steadily in the right direction and then have it all stripped from you in the blink of an eye??? My life has taken a massive turn ......I am a single mother going through hardship at the moment.Me and my son are homeless and sleeping very rough(despite my 15 year old son doing his GCSE )we have lost all our belongings by selling them to survive.I just need help in raising money for a deposit and couple of months rent until i get back on my feet .My son needs a roof over his head at this time of the year.We are desperate as no local authority can assist us due to my status (not eligible) and people are taking advantage of us .We have found a place to rent but I just need to raise the money otherwise back on the streets again.
Any help would be appreciated and we will be grateful for it.Even if it's £ 1.00 a person,it all adds up
We'll be very grateful for the help.
Thanks
