May be if you visit a church and explain your situation, they will let you make a phone call to your local area. I don't know how often Lifeshare checks their email so I think it's best that you call them. The volunteers who are working over the Christmas period will bring food to you so there is no need to worry about travelling costs or going without food at least.Money is not the root of all evil.
It depends on how you obtain it and how you use it.

You have pursued that option and hit a dead end. Therefore you need to tell SS this. You are not helping yourself at the moment. For goodness sake, find a phone and call them.Gone ... or have I?0 -
