For years I dreamt of being able to go to university. So when I managed to secure a place I was obviously delighted. The reality of university however wasn't anything the movies. I have struggled with finances in the past during my studies but always managed to find a way to live. This time however I am in a position based on circumstances which I have caused partial myself were I cannot even afford food. I have literally half a bag of rice in my cupboard. I have been eating rice and butter for the past 4 days.

The circumstances that lead me here evolved around alcohol and depression. I have been trying to get my life back on track through counselling which I have just began.I am desperate and have struggled to ask for help in the past. I just need to be able to afford to buy food while I get my finances sorted. I am living a life in isolation pretty much and have nobody to turn to. I just want a chance to get my life on track and complete my studies.

I am now facing become homeless. I really need help to get a new flat sorted.
