Okay. Does your mom work? If your mom is unemployed and a customer of employment office she should receive some unemployment benefits from KELA (or her labor union) unless she has refused the job/training/schooling etc that your employment office has offered.
So you've also tried social welfare office (sosiaalitoimisto in Finnish you know) and they refused to help you? None lives with 300euros, especially if she has a daughter living with her. I don't know, depends on the area where do you live but I've heard that in some areas these authorities can be really nasty and you really have to fight that you can have your grant/income support (toimeentulotuki in Finnish). I think there are a bunch of edicts but they can't demand you to live with that 300 euros rest of your life. Keep fighting, ask for your rights. If you need food support, most of churches offer something.
I'm sorry that I don't know more about things, I've never needed to turn to social welfare so I'm not exactly sure how the things work out. That's still how I've gotten it.
Some warm cyber hugs to you. You shouldn't need to think things like these when you're 17
. Hope your dad manage to move back to England.
