I’m embarrassed but desperate to get groceries.

I’m reaching out here because I’m in a tough spot and need some help. Times have been hard for me lately and I’m living paycheck to paycheck. I have a 12-year-old son, and I’m trying to make sure we have food and essentials for the week because we have run out of everything. I don’t have even $1 to my name after paying rent and power. My rent was suddenly increased from $900 a month to $1,800 and it has been taking everything I have to be able to pay it on time each month. I know everyone is struggling these days and I’m not special so believe I’m mortified at having to ask for help like this ):

I’m actively looking for ways to improve my situation, but at this moment, I just need a little help to get through the week. If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it so much!

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and for any kindness you can offer.

Try finding canned foods instead like soup or stew. Canned meat like spam or chicken are great and even canned beef if you really want to make something with beef.

No worries! I know you said you have a 12 yr old so maybe they would like chef boyardee products - that could help a bit with the meal planning.
