Can you help me feed my kids?
Ok look. We're doing mostly ok these days, financially. No room for emergencies. But bills and rent are getting paid. We have toilet paper. We get some help from family but we're mostly surviving off my pay.
Here is the problem. We're fighting to get back foodstamps. We lost them beginning of this month (burocacy bullshit) and they already weren't enough to feed 4 for a month (we were supplementing) so losing what we had? Fuck.
We skipped this last scheduled grocery trip week and a half ago. We go every two weeks and buy two weeks worth of food based on a meal plan plus some fend for self meals due to dietary issues. We had to skip the trip. But the pantry wasn't empty. The deep freeze wasn't empty. We've been making do.
We have the next trip scheduled for March 30. Look. We can't stretch the pantry past that. 2 weeks stretch was one thing. There just isn't the means for 4 weeks. I'm stilling fighting for food stamps. We'll get them back. It's just at the processing speed of a snail. They need approved by end of day this Friday to shop Monday. Even then would they be released in time for a grocery trip Monday? No.
Maybe there will be a miracle. But i can't subside on hope for such. I can't feed my kids hope. I need to assume i need help. I need to ask y'all for help. I need to put food on the table for 4 people for about 2 weeks. With restricted (14yo has arfid) and medical (me) based dietary restrictions it costs. We're not eating lobster, i would like (frozen) veggies though. Gotta try to feed the kids veggies.
My goal is 550$. Anything over that will go into the ongoing disabled cat vet fund. If by miracle we have ebt in time, all of it will go in the vet fund. This isn't a lot. It feels doable with mutual aid. Can you help? Please
Can you help me feed my kids? Look don't take food off your own table. Every little bit helps and adds up. Reblogs are essential. Can you help a single disabled hard working mother feed her kids?
