I am getting dangerously close to being on the streets and in my medical condition with winter coming up it is highly likely I would be dead within a month as Southampton General NHS neurology department is refusing appointments after I reported 2 assaults by A&E staff.
I need high quality food and medical supplements to keep me alive and repair the damage. shellfish salmon blueberries MCT-8 oil and parmesan (contains a rare amino acid) for autism. L-Lysine 6,000 mg a day for micro-vascular repair. it's a long list totalling £1000 a month.
I need equipment for the winter: gas for cooking, petrol for generators, additional solar panels new 12v batteries due to failure of existing ones.
I will need to stop buying food by the end of the week in order to conserve money so as not to become homeless in January 25, in winter
no I cannot "work" as it is simply too dangerous, a client could say the wrong thing and put me into catastrophic medical shock that would take 3-4 weeks to recover.
I can help advise others as long as they take the lead and initiative.
immediate financial help appreciated to reduce stress that could trigger medical collapse.
l.
I wish I had the means to offer assistance. I can barely cover my own groceries.
Looks like we're the only ones left here, too. Kind of sad... I would've thought the others would have chimed in by now. I guess they finally left.

Beware giving Luke a loan. I did to tide him over until he was paid by NLnet. He was paid by them and then refused to repay the loan. When I asked him for it he accused me of making his autism worse, or something. He no longer talks to me.
So: if you do give him some money you need to realise that you will never see the money again.
Alain, I would like to think that Luke will repay you if and when he becomes able, however long that may be.
I would also like to point out that it's pretty clear to me that what he is asking for is charity, not a loan. I would not expect to be paid back.

After he was paid by NLnet he had the cash to repay me. He just did not. He did not even have the politeness to ask if he could not repay or delay it. When I asked he was just incredibly aggressive towards me -- not how to behave to someone who has helped you.

I was just making that clear.
Yes: I do understand that Luke has problems, but beware how he views & describes things is not how others see things. Some of these others are quite reasonable. Hopefully his current problems will subside; as has happened before.
I am not anti Luke, although I will admit to being pissed off about the failure to repay the loan. I have, over the years, given him several loans all of which were repaid - unlike the last.

As an aside, if this is your genuine response to a man in his hour of need... if this is who you choose to be... maybe it's better that nobody else has replied.
I am by no means religious, but the point of "There but for the grace of God go you or I" is far from lost on me.
I have a phrase of my own. "Politics has no place in an emergency." That includes personal politics, i.e. grudges. I would like to think that we are all better, here, than to let a man starve and die over an old debt or argument. Luke is prone to a bit of a temper; I think we all should long ago have learned to forgive a few words in the wrong place from him. He means well, even if he is not always the best-spoken amongst us.
Alain, if you have the means, even if you are uncomfortable giving in your own name, I would ask you to consider giving in mine. I will be up-front that I cannot hope to repay you, but I am a strong believer in Karma, and that you will be rewarded in other ways if you would offer what you can to Luke. If you must insist on refusing, and it is out of past misdeeds and trespasses rather than a lack of means, I hope you feel some weight in your heart over the matter -- as well you should. We can all be better than the voice you espouse, and we should all strive to be, most especially so at this time of year.
