You probably know this by now but I'm going through a disability benefit appeal, and have had endless issues accessing the food bank and staying fed, and mutual aid here is the only way I've been able to stay fed. I've been using an old laptop belonging to my landlady as my only way to access the internet, this is how I make these posts. It's too difficult to go to the public library to use a computer, what with my foot surgeries (most recent one today) and disabilities caused by my stoke.

The laptop charger has stopped working and soon I won't be able to use the laptop because of this (the charge is running out). Previous aid I've received on here has been spent on my surgical supplies and hospital transport so I don't have any left. Without this laptop I won't be able to stay fed, request my repeat prescriptions from the doctor or anything else I need to do. I can't afford to have a phone right now so this laptop is all I've got.

Due to the DWP checking my bank account if I win my appeal, an amazon gift card would be the safest way to receive help. This site takes paypal: https://dundle.com/gb/amazon/

I believe they give you a code which you can PM or email to me.

As well as the charger I will need basic items for months to come until my disability is sorted, things like shampoo, toothpaste, sanitary pads, dental floss, deodorant, soap, hand sanitiser, etc. The daily things that everyone needs, of course they get used up and have to be repurchased regularly. If anyone can help with this I can get these things off amazon as needed.
