I did ask on mutual aid on hexbear twice but got no responses.

I'm going through a disability benefit appeal. I've got absolutely no money whatsoever, my overdraft is maxxed out and I'm 5 months in rent arrears, no family to help and the food bank is so difficult and time consuming to access. You get three days worth of food but it takes over a week to access. So every week there's 4 or more days of starvation. Anyway I am absolutely starving. The problem is, I don't dare ask for money in case I get in trouble with the DWP (British benefit nazis) for having a source of income. So would anyone please be able to help me out with food some other way than money? British supermarket gift cards (eg for sainsburys/tesco/asda), a justeat voucher, an amazon voucher so I can order food from amazon pantry, I mean anything at all that isn't actual money? I am so desperate I don't know what to do. I know sainsburys take google pay for giftcards. You don't have to be in the UK to order them.

I might help, but I can't give much, and have to reserve money for myself.

I would be grateful for anything, I'm totally out of food.

this supermarket sells gift cards https://www.sainsburysgiftcard.co.uk/ or just eat, or amazon, or anywhere that sells food really
