Last week of benefits, options? - 6 weeks in

The claim window is closing and I am worried about bills. I do not usually post, so bear with me. I wonder about extended programmes or help from local agencies. Did you find short-term work?

Call 211 to hear about emergency help with rent or utilities in your area. The list was longer than I expected.

Food pantries and community kitchens helped us stretch the budget. No shame in using them.
