i have my first wic appointment this month. I really hope we get help. We were denied food stamps, they said Taylor made too much. We are able to spend $80-$100 for two weeks of food. That includes diapers, formula, etc. I'm also pregnant. I'm so nervous. I can't afford a sitter, my free sitter's dog bit my child. So we can't leave her there. I don't know what to do. :( I'm so tired of struggling. My SO works his ass off and between child support and collections, we are just scraping by. It's putting a lot of stress on our relationship. I had a friend that received $700 for food stamps. She lied her ass off and said her and her boyfriend broke up so he wasn't living there or they were making separate meals. That seems to be the only way to get help, lie your ass off or not work at all. Ugh. I'm so frustrated.

You could always search for local food pantries in your area. My mom used to go to them a lot when we were younger since she was raising 3 kids by herself and only worked at a call center we had some lean years. Don't worry hun, things will get better 💛
WIC is much easier to get than food stamps. We made $1200 a month and still qualified. If you're going alone, bring a note written by him breaking down what he makes and what you have after bills and other necessary expenses and pay stubs showing his income.
I know this is supposed to be a temporary thing, but it seems you can only survive if you don't do shit. Once you try and get out if the hole they drop you. Maybe a program to help families get on their feet instead of holding them back.
Happened to us. When my husband wasn't working we got over $500 in food stamps then we he was barley making anything to pay the bills we got 96$
We don't want to lie either. I'll check it out. I was told to try for food stamps again since I'm pregnant. We may need to find a church with food baskets..
im sorry! we also got denied foodstamps but we do get wic. check out the income guidelines for ur state via Google for a bit of stress relief. and i agree.. the only way to get help is LIE or be poor as hell.
thanks! Should I call local churches?
