I had food for my family

Granted by Heroes: sheggy
My husband received bad news from multiplied places today and I just don't know what we are going to do.

If you don't already know my family, I am on Disability, have multiple health issues, take many meds, and receive Disability. My husband is Union and has been laid off since Feb, has been receiving Un-employment, we have 4 children all have migraines and take meds. We barely make our bills and the 3rd wk of the month we have no money for food and scrape or borrow what we can to get past it.

Today he went to the Un-Employment Office because his account has run out and is filing for an extension. To get to the end he qualifies, has to wait 2 weeks, but doesn’t know how much will receive but will not be as much as he is now. The worker just had to tell him that more than half that they have processed ended up receiving less than $100 a week, leaning more towards $60 and below.

My money covers Rent and a few of other bills but his pays for food and other personal and needed supplies.

Food is our main NEED and CONCERN for our CHILDREN!!! I don’t know how to word this but I will accept any help for my children in any form or way that I can get it. We try so hard not to let them see our worry, anxiety, and down right fear but they are older now and figure it out on their own sometimes.

So, if you would like to help, please do, and I will gladly PAY IT FORWARD to you, your family, and/or Charity with the Program that I do with my boys. You can read about it in my profile or PM me for more info.

I choose to be a Hero on WUAH as much as I can and crocheting caps, Scarves, and Baby Blankets for those in need, in return, as Thank Yous, and Presents as PIFs.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and any future things that you do.

I left out that I have a church who has a program that is going to give us food assistance for one week. I have told them the assistance programs that I don't qualify for, Government, Private, Catholic, etc. She is going to review their list and put out "feelers" if needed. Believe me when I say that I have my fingers crossed.
