    Hi my name is gill ive just recently lost my job of 13yrs. Due to my BOSS walking away from the FAILING BUSINESS which left myself and 3 STAFF MEMBERS OUT OF JOBS 1 WHOM HAD BEEN WITH ME FOR 10YRS MY SISTER. IM ASKING FOR HELP TO REBUILD MY LIFE WHICH HAS TAKEN ME A LOT OFF THINKING AND FIGHTING WITH MY HEAD TO FINALLY ASK SOMEONE FOR HELP AS IM NORMALLY THE ONE TO BE HELPING EVERYONE NOT ASKING FOR IT X BUT IM SADLY SLIPPING INTO A BIT OF DEPRESSION and trying HARD to get myself up again before i WANT to DRINK all the time which i KNOW through EXPERIENCE ISNT THE WAY AS BEEN DOWN THAT ROAD BEFORE I STARTED MY JOB AS LAUNDERETTE ASSISTANT 13YRS AGO. THANKS TO MY LOVELY BOSS CHRISTINE WHO SADLY PASSED AWAY 3/4YRS AGO XX I STARTED WORKING AT WEEKENDS TO HELP OUT AND 13YRS LATER I HAD BEEN RUNNING IT FOR ABOUT 8/9YRS BUT SADLY THE NEW BOSS DIDNT WANT TO SPEND ANY MONEY TO FIX THE PLACE UP AND IT WENT RAPIDLY DOWN HILL THEN COUNCIL CHANGED ROAD LAY OUT AND THAT KILLED THE BUSINESS . THE OWNERS AT THE TIME AGREED IF I COULD FIND A £1000 FOR THE LEASE I COULD SIGN IT AND KEEP GOING . WE HAD A CHARITY NIGHT AND RAISED £3 AND A HALF THOUSANDS.
