Struggling to support family this week
We've been hit with some lows lately. First our rental house went up for sale so we had 30 days to get out. Luckily thanks to my dad's help we were able to get into another rental. During all this my husband has made a job change that is for the better. However they are holding his first pay check so we won't be getting it today. We have to wait until the next 2 weeks. Because of all this, we are completely broke, and we have absolutely no food. Last week my mother in law helped us with 120 which did help but nearly as much. I have looked into food pantries and they are all income based and we don't qualify which is absurd lol. So now I have no idea how we are going to survive the next 2 weeks with no food. We wouldn't even qualify for food stamps. I can't ask my dad to help because he already loaned us the first month's rent and deposit for the new place we had to move into. I completely just don't know what to do. This is lowest and poorest we have ever been and we can't even get any assistance lol. What a damn joke.
We are a family of 4. The 120 was just for last week which we didn't need much since we still had some stuff but now we have used everything. On top of all this our oldest child will need school lunch money, which no we can't get for free because again our income is technically too much. There is only 1 church who does a food pantry thing and it's also income based. We don't have any food closets or anything like that. We don't have plasma center here to donate at either lol. Door dash and such doesn't really work here because it's such a small town, and it would take too long to set up anyways even if it were an option. And you kinda need gas for that, and guess what. We have no money for that lmao. I have looked into literally everything and called every place I found including the help hotline number and they couldn't even help us 🤣😭
I can't help but laugh and cry because we are technically considered middle class and because of that when we hit a low we can't even get any damn help and our town sucks so bad there are no helpful resources unless you're literally homeless.
On top of groceries idk how we are even going to pay our other bills which makes it even all more fun.
So unfortunately my dad will not help again. He's a very wealthy man and is very very greedy over that. I was shocked he even helped us as it is. And he unfortunately does not like my husband and would give me some bs about how if my husband can't support our family then I just need to move home. My husband is the one who works and doesn't have the best credit so I don't think a credit card or pay day loan would work at all because I'm sure he wouldn't qualify.
