TIFU and was refused a food bank refferal

So for the last 2 months iv been struggling to get by after losing the only family member I had, along with a part time job. For the past four days, I’ve not eaten anything but bread and I dont have anything else until Monday

Yesterday, I applied for a food bank voucher with the council to get a food parcel from the local food bank and today I got a response saying I’m not eligible due to there being a limit of only four referrals in six months, in a 6month peroid and I’ve already used my limit up. I’ve been trying really hard to scrape together something and have been sitting here for hours doing surveys onnline on my phone trying to earn a little bit to get essentials and I’ve barely managed £2 in 4 hours doing them!

I’m either getting disqualified before I can even complete them or there arnt any available. The ones iv done are taking almost 20minutes for 20 odd pence and I just can’t focus anymore.

Now I just dont know my options and am exhausted jusr sitting here typing this. I dont have nobody close to help me, and I don’t know what to do next. I had thought id be able to still get a refferal but apparently not and all the food banks require it, im literally in a mess

TL;DR tifu by thibnking I would still be eligible for support but getting refused a food bank voucher due to a limit. I’ve barely eaten for days, tried earning money with surveys,£2 in 4 hours and have nobody to help.
