This year I suffered 2 mental breakdowns which led me to being sectioned under the mental health act. My son has been taken into emergency foster care and isn't allowed home until February. He's been in care since July.

I am about to lose our family home as my landlord raised the rent after hearing I was sectioned, he has told me that unless I make another deposit as well I will lose my home.

I've lost my job and my son, and been diagnosed with schizophrenia. I have no family and have turned to the council for help but I am getting nowhere and I am facing homelessness.

I desperately need the funds I would usually be receiving in the way of child tax credits (the foster carers now receive all my benefits) to keep living where I am until my son is allowed to come home, I've finished university now but I am not allowed to work until my medication shows it is working and I have daily checks from the crisis team.

Please help
