[REQ] £20, UK, repay on 07/07, PayPal/Bank Transfer, towards son's laptop

Hi! I made a post last week explaining I needed a loan to help replace my son's broken laptop. I was actually gifted a large portion of the funds required, I'm just £20 short now.

I don't have much of a borrowing history aside for one small loan which was repaid on time, every other request has ended up being gifted to me and then paid forward 😊 thank you!

[REQ] £200, UK, repay £200 07/13, PayPal/Bank transfer, for son's replacement laptop

EDIT : Only £50 required now. A wonderful redditor that would prefer to remain anonymous gifted the rest. Repayment date remains the same ❤️

I realise this is a huge longshot. But I have exhausted all other avenues and I'm at the end of my tether.

My son's laptop broke, took it to a repair shop and they essentially said it would be cheaper to get a new one. He is on the spectrum and uses it to self regulate, creating images/animations. I'll be honest, he's really struggling without it, meltdowns, unable to sleep and I'm slowly losing my mind. Unfortunately can't be a chromebook as he uses MS Paint (don't ask 😂) so I have found the cheapest suitable replacement.

I have applied for a family fund grant, but that can take 30 days (or longer) to be approved. I already have an advance with UC that isn't paid off until December. I have a homemaker loan with a credit union, but I can't apply for a top up until 20th July. Carer's Trust grants can't be used for items for the person being cared for. I will happily accept any other suggestions!

I have pretty much no borrowing history other than one small loan that was paid back on time, other loan requests were fulfilled but lenders did not want paying back, and I've paid it forward a couple times with giveaways. I'm his full time carer while studying from home with the Open University, so my income is currently UC, high rate DLA and carer's allowance. I can provide proof + payment dates if necessary. Thank you 😊

Crawling on my hands and knees to payday after an unexpected repair bill 🥲 just need some essentials (groceries) to last the weekend and am a little short.

I have explained before I don't have a borrow history as the lenders did not want to be paid back, but I have paid it forward a few times in here 😊
