We are Asylum seeking family, been in Belfast for more than a year with no status and no permission to work. we had a baby last march, we are living with 190£ a week for a family of 5 ( parents and 12y, 3y and a 7 months).

We are located far from the center. taking the bus more than once per week or getting a taxi for emergencies will directly affect our groceries.

i’m the father who is writing this, and i’m more than willing to work if given the chance, but since the main applicant for asylum is my wife i can‘t even apply for work even though a year have passed.
