verified [Request] Furloughed and Low on Food & Water Until I Receive My Stimulus Check

Hello, I just recently found a new job but was furloughed due to COVID-19 before I could even work my first shift. I luckily had a little bit in savings and have been trying to safely work on my side hustle of local online sales but I'm running out of funds and more importantly food & water. I've been trying to stretch my food as much as I can by eating smaller and fewer meals but I've got about two, maybe three days of food and water left. The tap water not just in my home but my County is also not fit for consumption, filtered and/or boiled, due to arsenic contamination and it being naturally hard water with high levels of calcium and magnesium. I'm hoping I could get some assistance to get me through these trying times until my Stimulus Check arrives.

I've created a large list on Amazon, I don't expect everything on it to be purchased I just thought it would be better to have a variety of items it case something becomes unavailable. My Area Code is 86442.

Thank you to anyone that reads this and I wish you safety and security during these difficult times.

Your stimulus check should have come in today if you've filed your 2019 taxes and have direct deposit with the IRS.

I filed via the non-filers due to not making enough to report in 2019/2018. Direct deposit still but I don't know if that effects when I get the check.

According to Philip Defranco's video today you should have received your money via direct deposit today as long as you had direct deposit set up with the IRS.

I have a friend that filed as a non filer last week and he didn't get his money today. When he goes on the IRS website to check, it says his refund was approved and they are processing his information to determine his eligibility 🤷‍♀️ so not everyone will have them exactly today.

I commented this a week ago on the first check distribution day, when all the bank websites were down with people checking for their payment.
