"Currently I am a full time college
student studying social sciences to gain access to university. The
reason I need to use the Foodbank was because my claim for Employment
Support Allowance was cancelled with no thought from the Department
of Work and Pensions on how I would survive. I do not meet the
criteria for other benefits due to my age and my college course.
As
I suffer from depression I have also become estranged from my father,
meaning I have nobody to support me."
West Cheshire Foodbank would like to thank Sonita for sharing her story.
