"I'm currently on the sick from work, without sick pay, and was running low on food again for over Christmas until my universal credit gets paid in January. I've just received my Christmas food parcel and am absolutely sobbing ... thank you so much. Once I'm in a better position the first thing I'm doing is making a donation."
