we are so short on money that we are fucked this month. I have 0 money for groceries and have…

Have you tried getting assistance? I'm sorry you're struggling.

yea we've tried. I haven't been in the country long enough to qualify for anything. which is so effing stupid because I LIVE here @bonniesue

Oh wow.. praying God opens a door for you. You aren't a citizen here?

no ma'am, I'm a resident on a visa :( @hale16

Wth?! What state are you in?

Iowa @hale16

Are you staying here permanently? No government assistance?

I get wic but that's the only thing I qualify for. I don't even have state insurance because I don't qualify. I have to have private. no federal help at all. I am staying here permanently but because I'm not a citizen yet or haven't been here for 5 years so I'm on my own @hale16

I wish you could've came to Illinois ... they help out a lot w government assistance or that's anywhere in the country since you're not a citizen?

Wic that's good at least you will be able to feed baby 😭 but baby will be citizen so how does that work?

I think it's everywhere because I'm not a citizen. but I don't know. once the baby is born a whole bunch of doors open for me. because the baby is a citizen it'll have more rights and we will have everything we need. but I can't apply for assistance or food stamps until then @hale16

When are you due? No family or friends here? Really wish I could help 😩 & that's real good news!!! Time needs to hurry & get here because the baby will have rights to any & everything from cash assistance from the aide office medical card etc

Baby is due in February. my fiancé's family is helping as much as they can but we can only owe so much money before they get mad. it's just a shit storm right now. @hale16

Girl all you can do is take it day by day.. don't stress! Things will get better don't give up on looking for help ..

Pm me if you ever need to talk

thank you :) I definitely will @hale16

Np... where are you from? I wish I could leave the states lol

no ma'am. I have to pay for everything out of pocket. I'm not a citizen so I don't qualify for any federal help

@blessingskeepcoming,

wow thats crazy...girl just keep trying and keep doing the right thing..things will get better.

I know, we always figure it out. just get way to stressed out lol @blessingskeepcoming
