It sucks being broke... Selling my stuff just to make sure I will have enough money for my daughters milk,wipes and pampers when she needs them. I can go without eating and having things but she can not and I will make sure she always has her things even if I have to sell everything of mine.

I'm not sure if you're into it or if you have a dollar general near you, but I recommend downloading their mobile app. They have digital coupons so you 'clip' the coupons you want on the app and when you check out in the store you enter your phone number and the coupons are automatically taken off. It's cheaper than buying a newspaper or printing (because it costs nothing)

You can get $.50 off huggies wipes, and a small pack is $1 so you could pay just $.50. Every little bit helps!

Have you tried WIC, they can help with the milk

Yes they won't help me and don't have the milk she is on. I live with my parents and according to them my dad makes to much but is struggling himself to support his other kids and wife

What about food stamps?

Same thing. I'm going to call and speak with them though because it's ridiculous. My dad can't help me he has his own to take care of. He lets me stay here so i have a safe place to live

why dont you say you babysit, n live off of that income, then they have to go based on only your income since you are over 18

Really? They were wanting my dads income because I live with him. My moms just worried if I lie I'll get caught and get in trouble @rachel8792

Yeah, no, you just self declare, they dont report to IRS or anything, and you can say your parents help out if you ever need anything, but you support your child
My grandma said they arent investigators, they try their best to help out, and if you say you have your own income, they go based off of you, since u arent a minor

What if I don't have my own income though? I just have money that I have saved @rachel8792

The only way around it is if you have your own income. As an example some will say they babysit their cousin for $200/week, something like that
Some people do it, some dont, its just an option I give because I dont think its fair that they use parents income as a base, when in reality it isnt that way

Well thank you I'm definitely going to call both places. Food stamps would help more because WIC only does similac and my daughter rejects it for some reason and will only drink enfamil @rachel8792
