So I was wrong. Things are pretty shit right now.
We are desperate for groceries. My youngest who is autistic is an incredibly picky eater and he won't eat the lunch he gets at school for free so I have to pack for him. Yesterday I didn't pack him a lunch because I literally have nothing I could pack for him and he didn't eat at all the entire day. I'm at a loss with what to do. I've even gone to Reddit but the only interaction I've got from people is asking me to exchange nudes for cash and yeah no.
Our water got shut off but we were able to get it back on by paying with a check and the bank pushed it through. But now we're in the hole almost $600 and I don't get paid until next Friday and my checks are $693 because I'm contracted salary. We've sold everything we could (all of our old video games) except the kids' switch because I am not doing that to them.
We are still waiting on our snap benefits, we called and they said they've received our application but couldn't tell us anything else. My husband currently cannot work he's filing for unemployment and disability but most of us know how quickly that all goes. We've filed our taxes but won't get them for another week at least. I was going to start doordashing but our phone service is off so I can't do that because you need internet I thankfully have wifi at home.
If anyone can spare anything I'll literally be forever grateful, I'm still so thankful to those of you who have helped before.
