I want to share my heartfelt concerns regarding my 10-month-old daughter, who has been diagnosed with Thalassemia Major. This condition has significantly affected her health and has taken a toll on my mental well-being as her parent.
At such a young age, my daughter is encountering numerous challenges. It truly pains me to see her in discomfort and to observe the frequent medical treatments she requires. As a parent, it’s incredibly difficult to witness her suffering, and I find myself constantly worrying about her future. The potential complications from her condition weigh heavily on my mind.
The emotional strain of her illness has been quite overwhelming, impacting my mental health in ways I didn’t expect. There are times when I feel powerless and adrift, trying to cope with my own emotions while remaining strong for her. The uncertainty surrounding her health and the ongoing treatments only add to my stress, leaving me feeling exhausted and overwhelmed.
I am reaching out for guidance and support during this challenging time. Any resources, advice, or assistance you could provide would be invaluable to me as I navigate my daughter’s health issues and my own emotional struggles.
Hello, I am a mother who lives alone with my child and I am facing many problems. I am an immigrant and I have no acquaintances in where I live. The feeling of loneliness and the problems of life have made the situation very difficult, but with some help, for which I am very grateful, I was able to gain morale and try to improve my situation so that I can create a bright future for my child
Well whats sleep these day with a 2 yr old and a 1 week old 2 yr old has been fine till new baby xx
It’s almost month end and my finances are so stretched. I do not as yet have enough to cover my bills and the stress is getting to me. Am embarrassed that I am known as a person who asks to borrow money from family or friends.
I would like to have a life without stress of money and fear that I will fall into debt and fail to provide for my children
Currently, I am getting PIP but not an enhance rate. So, I prefer an independent review where I may get an enhance rate. Disable people deserves a benefit which can help them to lead a decent life. Government also can use this workforce by supporting them with materials or give access to utilise resources. Also support them what other benefits they can get.
I think the Child poverty task force is a good thing, and I am happy that it has been set up.
However, even though I'm happy that it's been set up, I'm also sad that we even have to have a child poverty task force in the first place, because we are one of the richest countries in the world.
One of the changes I'd like to see them tackle is the 2 child limit cap- I think they need to remove it, as I believe it has played a significant role in the increase in child poverty in the UK.
Plan sounds good but will be difficult to implement as government didn't say from where they will fund for this project. According to me changes need to be done step by step rather than doing everything together. Government can keep things that went well in previous government and change that didn't go well.
Yes, absolutely, but we need to be extra careful and clear with what we mean and what we expect from politicians when we're talking about poverty. Because they aren't listening, these last few months have made that clear, they don't care about us at the bottom. We need to find a way to make them care, and that's by challenging their attitude towards us and fighting stigma and having clear expectations. Invest in our present to protect our nations future (especially our youth). They want to lower crime rates, NHS burdens, disability welfare burdens, etc. then they need to invest in our present welfare, give us a basic quality of life, not this squalor we've been forced to make the best off, through higher rates of UC, not dehumanising us by telling disabled people what they can or cant spend their disability money on and tackling child poverty by supporting parents.
Having a general election so quickly in between announcement and election day is very much disturbing as there was so many amazing things planned by Changing Realities. Less time to have anything to hold a prospect winning party to, but perhaps if it goes anywhere the local elections did, means a road sooner to recovery of some sort.
Feeling emotionally drained when I read or listen to new policies that are been passed through Parliament.
It doesn't make sense. With recent global conflicts around the world the UK government have decided to increase their support. This costs millions, millions that need to be invested in the UK.
On the prime minster's speech about accessing services and the like. He really has no clue on how people especially young families living day to day trying to get by on the very little services due to his party making cuts and closures.
I wonder why the children who are most vulnerable in society have been targeted? We are one of the rich countries in the world, investing in early years and parenting and services for the young seems to be the least important compared to funding other countries with military might. This is very costly and concerning.
