Helping Chloe Cope

Hi friends, I’m Chloe - I hate that I’m asking for help (especially as I asked for help a few years back and I WISH I was further along in my Improving My Circumstances journey)

The short version is: I wasn’t able to get universal credit because I was still a student (doing my PGCE), even though I was suspended for mental health reason and couldn’t find regular work. I’ve been struggling a lot to make ends meet.

Now that I’ve quit the PGCE, I’m applying for UC again and I’m searching for work (I have a bit of part time stuff) but, in the short term, I’m really struggling. I hate to ask but I know I have a gorgeous community around me and some of you may be able to help me a little through this particularly rough patch.

(£650 is my monthly rent so I’ve set that as the target just to hopefully get ahead of the month-by-month expenses but truly anything would help so much)

As before, I want to pay any help I get forward when I’m in a more secure position. I just hope I’ll be in one soon. I’ve been working really hard to get out of this cycle, and I am trying to find ways to manage my disability, but I haven’t managed it yet and your support would mean the world.

NB: in 2021 (?) I raised some money to build a tiny home van thing - I bit off WAY more than I could chew, so shelved the project, but the money helped me HUGELY anyway (even though it was spent in a different way)
