From people who came through it
“If you're where I was, with the pasta and the payday loans and the shame, I want you to know it can get better. I'm not going to tell you it's easy. It's not. But the food bank is there and it's not charity, it's just help, and you're allowed to take it. Ask for the help. Tell one person. That's what I did and it didn't fix everything but it made it less heavy. And don't do what I did with the loans. Talk to someone first.”
sophiagarden · been through not enough food“I was in the same place in 2022. It was the end of the month and I couldn't see past it. This year I did a 5k, slowly. The bad days get further apart. You're not on your own.”
stillguitar89 · been through not enough food“I know it feels like you're the only one. I was a bank manager, for heaven's sake, and I still had to use the food bank. The shame is the worst part, but it's not yours to carry. Start small: open one letter, ask about a payment plan, find out where the food bank is. No one there will judge you. And if you have kids, they won't remember the tough weeks as much as they'll remember you were there. It does get better, slowly.”
Night shift nurse in Swansea · been through not enough food“If you've just found this place, eighteen months ago I was exactly where you are. For me it was cheap pasta every night. Today I went for a walk and didn't cry once. The bad days get further apart. From someone who gets it.”
