Super Hungry and Missing My Mom

[u/IntelligentForm7959]

I'm reaching out to ask for some good will during this difficult time in my life. We have nothing to eat really in our house, and everyone is quite hungry. I get paid in 2 days but my work shut off the ability to withdraw money against my paycheck because of the fiscal year changing, although they did it a day early so that really sucks.

Basically this has been the worst year of my life. About 3 months ago my beloved Mom suffered from a severe stroke unexpectedly which took from her the ability to speak, interact, or move. We held on hope that she would make some sort of a recovery, but given the reason for her stroke (taken off blood thinners to prepare for a complex heart surgery) she deteriorated rapidly and I'm heartbroken to say that we had to make the decision to take her off life support after a few dreadful weeks. Losing her has created a vast empty space in my soul, that is felt every day and every night. And now, with no food in the house I feel like a husk of a person with no energy and this intense sadness weighing me down. I barely sleep at night because I miss her so much. I could make do if she was here, because she always knew how to make something out of nothing when it came to food, as we grew up quite poor and yet never starved. I feel like without her here, I'm deprived of the greatest resource I never truly realized I had.

On top of that, I have no money like I said. My sister who lives with me also has no money because we (perhaps foolishly) tried our best to give my 7 year old nephew a good Christmas this year, because he cherished his Nana and he deserves to have day all about him.

I don't really care where the pizza is from, we're not picky or anything. I live in Memphis, Tennessee and I've never posted here before so I'm not really sure if there are any details I'm leaving out. I just would really appreciate some help. Doesn't have to be pizza either, just whatever someone would feel like doing would be really amazing.

Update: A kind stranger sent me enough to get some yummy food for my family tonight. I'm so grateful for this wonderful community full of great people. I'll be back to pay it forward in the very near future.
