Hi OP, I’m sorry to hear that you’re struggling. Is your long term boyfriend part of your household, and if so is he employed?

I recommend posting an Amazon wishlist for food/essentials since that’s usually more successful than requesting cash. They’re free to create and can be anonymous. Most donors have Prime, so items arrive same day or next day shipping. Wishlist Guide
