urgent advice needed please dont judge im heartbroken as it is

I'm another suggesting Facebook.  Look for sites locally to you set up to help.  Put the name of your town or area in Facebook search and see what comes up.

Roughly whereabout in the NW are you? I also think that there will be Facebook groups in your local area who will help. If you give the local area some of us can also search and see what we can come up with. Many people are struggling and there are many more desperate to help. Let us try and do what we can.
Let us rally round.

Don't wait until Monday, find the details for your local community hub on your local council website.

They should have food boxes to deliver to the vulnerable 7 days a week plus further guidance.

I'll second this - don't wait until Monday, and go online rather than phone - it'll be cheaper and quicker. 

Look on your local council website.There should be details of what they are setting up to help people like yourselves who are struggling during these unusual times.

Also see if you have a local Facebook help group here https://covidmutualaid.org/

There are many people like yourselves strugggling now through no fault of their own, and plenty of lovely people out there ready and willing to give help - please don't be afraid to ask.

You can also, if you can stand it, ask on a mutual aid group for food donations if you can find one, they won't judge.

And no stressing, this can and probably will be happening to a lot fo families...at least you're asking for help.

It's a longshot, but I've sent you a message to see if I live anywhere near you, in case there's anything at all I can do to help.
