I’m behind on the basics of food, rent and utilities... Now the holidays are approaching and I’m desperate need of supplies and proper clothing and book bags for the boy’s thanks very much. We need all the basics and thank you.

Re: I can't even afford food and other basic needs
Hello, my name is Darius. I am a single father of 2, who is struggling to make ends meet and provide basic needs and even get food. My temporary job assignment recently ended, with no promise of a new start date. I am currently paying 670 plus utilities (70 dollars) a month. In need of the next step in the program for food, bill help, clothes and other basic stuff for me and my family. If granted admittance into the program.

Re: Basic needs
Since you have many basic needs you need for your home, life, etc. and a source of income, maybe look into a buy now pay later app. There are many out there. You can get the stuff you need now and pay later. Learn more on and find Buy Now Pay Later apps.

Re: Basic needs
We really recommend two options for basic needs. One will be a thrift store, which sells items at a low cost. Mayhbe clothes, furniture, and more. The second option will be a free clothing closet....but those are usually income based. And only free stuff is passed out if your income is low enough.

Re: Basic needs
I need help with things for my home, clothes, rent, and other basic needs. Due to serious personal issues that came up. I’m not a single mom of 4 kids and have only one income coming in and cannot afford my rent coming up or clothes for my kids. I'm stressing out. Not sure what to do and if I can get any assistance I would greatly appreciate it. I just don’t want to be left homeless or needing the basics for my kids, without a place for my kids. I been trying other sources of income to come in. Have interviews for part time jobs.

Re: Need basic needs met
I have been Laid off from work for several months with the hope of returning when the company went under and now faced with no money, no basic household supplies and have been without a place to live. I have no hope on what to do. I can't feed my family and fuel the vehicle. To search for jobs I'm reaching out to you for a hand up, please the Smith family.

Re: I can't even afford food and other basic needs
If you need baby milk, fruits, veggies, etc. then try a food bank near you for perishables. They offer free stuff, including basic supplies for you and family. If you have 2 kids then you are even more likely to get help too from one of the centers, maybe even those household cleaning supplies.

Re: I can't even afford food and other basic needs
for anyone that can't afford basic needs (clothes, food, medications, etc.) there is a listing on the site of how to get stuff for free. We have many charities and government programs noted.
Each is different...gives different items, has a certain application process, etc. But you can try them.

Re: Need basic needs met
For the basics, try thrift stores as well as clothing closets. There are many in your part of Texas. They have tons of items and what you may need, and if you bring your mother in laws death certificate that may help on your application. So use these as your starting point.

Usually volunteers from a clothing center can give other information on resources too.

Re: I can't even afford food and other basic needs
For the past year and a half I've been a stay at home mom of 3 children ages 6 months, 2 year old, and 5 year old while my husband was the bread winner. As of August 31st 2015 I am a victim of Domestic Violence. My husband is currently in prison and now I'm forced to go back into the work field.
I have not yet found employment and I've spend all savings for October rent. November rent is due November 1st and I don't have the funds. I also need food, clothing, and money for other needs. My rent is $925. I am still looking for work but I don't want my children and I to be homeless. I would appreciate any help thank you.

Re: I can't even afford food and other basic needs
Yes, most of the food pantries in Michigan will pass out donations to the less fortunate, especially if someone has passed away. So they will often have food as well as other items like clothing, holiday assistance, and more. That is also really great for you to look out for your friend too in these difficult times. Find a listing of Michigan food pantries.

Re: I can't even afford food and other basic needs
We have been struggling with all of our family expenses, most importantly gas for vehicle to & from work and monthly rent and still falling drastically short in to provide. Borrowing money from family is not an option we have anymore. With rent closely approaching our stress level is high especially with one adult laid off and two small children. 
We get only food assistance but. still its not enough. WE NEED HELP.....PLEASE. We don't know what else to do. We also used up all our extensions to pay for utilities and services are due real soon and late fees are adding up, our services will be shut off if not paid in full.

Re: I can't even afford food and other basic needs
Hi! I was just wondering if you knew of any places that might be able to help. A friend of mine lost her dad and he didn't have insurance. So they are asking for donations or anything that can be contributed to help them right now. I really want to help, but I don't really know where to go or who to talk to. She doesn't either, so I'm trying to help take some stress off of her. I don't know if there are such programs or anything like that out there, but any information would be greatly appreciated on who to contact or where I should go. I am in Mt. Pleasant, MI, Isabella County.  Thanks!

Basic needs
Hi,
My family and I are struggling to catch up right now. I got severely hurt in a work accident in NY in 2008 which has disabled me. I am behind on my rent and need $425 to catch up. I would appreciate any help I could get but the $425 would also allow me to buy food, sneakers and some new clothes for our two boys. If you know of anyone else that can help please email me any resources. not sure about Salvation Army.. Scared to see Christmas come.... just for my boys.. gifts will be very limited this year. I also have to go to NY next week for this settlement to see my doctors. So that is why I am very short this month. I had to book flight, hotel and expenses...
Thank you.

Re: I can't even afford food and other basic needs
Hello I’m a 29 year old female who was recently fired from my job early last month. I don't have unemployment and I don't have debt. I don't know how I'm going to pay my rent next month and I barely have any food. I’m barely surviving on 3 crackers and water through out the day. I’m stressing out and starting to feel depressed. I don't know what to do. I’m terrified of being homeless on the streets in Oregon. I need any kind of help right now. I’ve never been in this situation before. Jobs aren't calling back and I don't qualify for benefits. Please help I don't know what do......
