No money, no food....
I need so much help right now.
I'm on maternity leave, and my husband is out of work due to a hand injury. He spent money that he shouldn't have, and now we're broke.
Rent is due today, and I'm several hundred dollars short. The phone bill and electric bill are both overdue. Our fridge is empty except for condiments. My parents have been feeding our daughter, but we both haven't been eating. Our cars have no gas, and we can't afford more.
All the food banks in my area told me they're out of food and vouchers due to the holidays, and they don't know when they'll have more.
Someone please help me. We're hungry and we can't pay our bills.

Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Families?
I dont know if you've heard about WIC (women infants and children) but its a program that gives you free food if qualified. I think you would definatley be accepted into the program since you are pregnant and have another child.

Many companies are willing to work with you on your bills if you are willing to try. Credit companies offer extension payments (let me know if you need more information, I know a great deal about this). Was your husband hurt while at work? If so, does his employer offer workman's comp.? I hope things get better for you. Good luck.

Call the electric company and whatever other bills you have to pay and set up a payment plan. That'll probably half the bill. Then you need to call your Owner and talk to him/her about your problem and try to make them feel bad. The worse they feel the easier it'll be to ask if you can pay half now and half later. Try to talk them into letting you pay half of your rent now and the other half on like the 15th?..
Go to dhs and try to get foodstamps.
Yeh I know it might be a little weird.
But it shouldn't matter, specially since you have a daughter. That right there might help a little.
And like the person below said try the salvation army. Call any place you can possibly think of and INSIST on answers. Don't let them say no, and if they do ask if there's anything they can think of that'll help you.
Hope things start getting better.
&&
Happy new year

Hello! Forgive me for asking about avenues you might have already tried. Have you contacted the Salvation Army? They are often a good source of help in these situations. Also - talk to the utility companies (I know that can be difficult) and see if they are aware of any special programs. Your local Department of Human Services might be able to help - also, many churches provide a one-time assist for utility bills and some communities have special programs for this. Check with your Chamber of Commerce and have them check into it - ABOVE ALL - DON'T ALLOW YOURSELF TO BE DISMISSED! INSIST ON ANSWERS! That's what these agencies are there for and why they have jobs. I'll check back to see if you have any luck!
