I'm down to under two hundred dollars,and waiting for my SSD hearing. I called my county for General Relief help,and they said that the General Relief funds for the year 2009 are all gone. I could hardly believe it. It's only April,and they have no General Relief money through the end of December 2009 in my county.

Please pray for the Lord to help me to have enough money some how. I also need to go to the dentist,because I've had a cracked filling for about 6 1/2 months now. I'm very worried about this,on top of everything else. Please pray for the Lord to help me to get through this,and to help me to not go into despair. BF

You aren't alone BF...and of course many prayers are going up. :grouphug:

BF do you have a local church you can turn to for help?

also Catholic Charities and the S alvation Army are very caring in time of need

I pray that God will provide for you in every way needed:hug:

United Way.....dial 211 and tell them what your situation is. They will give you many resources to go to for help. :hug:

Keeping you in my prayers.

Dear BF,
If you are having difficulty buying food items, and need to use dollars for other things then I wonder if you have the same thing in your area as we have here now.

Many churches have set up stores for people who are experiencing difficulties financially. I actually needed to use one myself recently and I was really surprised at the generosity. I was even able to buy vegetables for just a gold coin donation. [p.s. I don't mean real gold, I mean 'gold' coloured... that's our $1 and $2 dollar coins ;) )

I noticed that the expiry date on some of the goods was only valid for a short time, so I figure that some of the grocery chains must give the food to the charities for distribution. It really helped me that week as I had some big bills to pay and they all arrived with the postperson at the same time... as they tend to do. lol

wishing you all the best there BF. Hope things get better for you fast...
and everyone else experiencing the same difficulties.

Thank you Lara. Isn't it the truth. I sold a electric item that I owned,to pay the phone bill. I wrote the check,and put it in the envelope,and got in the car to deposit the money in the bank,and then mail the bill. At my mail box I recieved a unexpected bill.

Thank you for letting me know.

I thank everyone else for their advice. BF:hug::hug::hug:

Have you been to your town hall? They have a welfare officer for folks that live in town. They can start the ball rolling on help that wont be available at the state level. Also if you have a church or two in your town, swing in. You dont have to promise to be a member of their church, you just have to be willing to ask for help. We collect funds every sunday for "neighbors in need" and the pastor has discretion over that fund. She can give you cash just because, or pay the dentist for you. Most pastors have a huge big book filled with numbers of helpful people. From food stamp help to a ride back and forth to medical appointments.

Knocking on doors, locally should help get you started.

:hug:

Dejibo Thank you for this information. I'll try to find out. Thanks. BF:hug::hug::hug:

BF...

Do you get food stamps???

I'm pretty sure you would be eligible....
