What the petition asks
I want the goverment to understand that working single parents literally can not afford to survive and can not afford to give our children a life they deserve. Please look at us who do not claim benefits but who pay TAX through working every hour just to get by!
We need help and we need help now!
We need help and we need help now!
There must be payments that can be offered to support EVERYONE!
I want single parents to be recognised and financial help offered to them if they are working and raising a child, child benefit is so small it barely contributes to anything let alone benefiting a child in the current climate.
We need to put food on tables without worrying!
Things must change for our childrens futures!

Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you are concerned about the finances of working families, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, we can accept petitions calling to changes to taxes and benefits, or entitlements to childcare.
