Seeking advice
Asking for some advice please. I am a single mother who just got into an apartment with my kids after leaving an unsafe home and we desperately need food. I literally have nothing. I work full time and it took all the money I had to finish paying off the landlord to move in. I dont get paid for another week and I am struggling to feed my family. I went to the food pantry yesterday and it was closed. Im on E in my car or I wouldve gone today. My kids have some cereal and bananas but thats it both of which my son who has ARFID and is on the spectrum wont touch. I could care less if I eat, I'm just worried about them and making it through the next week. Its also his birthday next week and at this point I don't even know if I will be able to get him a cake. I feel like I am failing them and like a horrible mom. Starting over is no fun and the hardest thing I've ever done but I'm trying to remain strong for them. Any suggestions on other resources I could reach out to?
