Hello, I am a mother of 2 kids, I am also raising my step children due to the stepdad sexually assaulting the daughter. At the time I am also adopting my nephew due to my sister's drug addiction, and I have another child I am looking into adopting. My problem is school supplies. My husband lost his job due to injury and hasn't been able to work in a few months. On top of that my landlord is illegally evicting us for having my disabled sons emotional support dogs. Which we paid to have then. I am in desperate need of help for my kid’s school supplies. The full list is as follows;

6 folders with Brads
1 box clay
9 composition notebooks
6 tape refills

1 pk playdough 
3 pk wide ruled paper

If there is any way possible all can help my family we would be So grateful!

I got fired in June of this year, and I have 3 children. I go to school during the day and work as a server 3 nights a week so I can finish school. I am collecting unemployment but they take 50% of my earnings each week. I have no way to pay my rent for September and have been struggling with getting my kids school clothes and supplies. I'm in overdue status with the gas and power company as well. I could really use this help for school supplies. I just got back on my feet and had a good job until they fired me.

Good afternoon, I have 4 children, 1 in middle school, 2 going to High school and 1 starting Fayetteville NC community college and I have not and will have a difficult getting them school supplies and clothing for this upcoming school year.
We were victims of a neighbor exposing himself in back of house while children played. I called police and individual was arrested a few days later.
Hs wife and daughter threatened with stabbing to cut, stab and burn down my house. We had to move in fear of this happening now I find myself with no money to get the children school stuff, I humble ask is there any way I'm I able to get a referral for any organization involved in assisting with school items etc. in Cumberland county. The only assistance I get is food stamps and Medicaid and food stamps go quick with the children been home on school break. Please help us with anything that is available please. Thank you and God bless you.

While of course free laptops are rare, your second year daughter may be able to get a discount one. But does she really need a computer for 2nd grade, or is it for you? Regardless, try this link. https://www.needhelppayingbills.com/htm ... uters.html

We do not have that county covered...at least directly. Try the United Way for a school supply giveaway in your region. They are here. https://www.needhelppayingbills.com/htm ... _prog.html

If you can help me out it would greatly be appreciated I'm a single mother trying to do it on my own. Thank you for your time and thank you in advance if you can help me.

Yes, it is hard to pay for back to school supplies after you lose a job. But many agencies around State Island and NYC can help. Find a list of NYC school supply programs. Both your kids should qualify by ages...16 and 12.

I went to public assistance but they said I do not qualify because I have no income for a one shot deal (can you believe that? - I've worked my whole life!!!) Thank you and please reply soon.

We know of many that may offer supplies. As long as the income is low enough with the husband out of work that will probably qualify them. Find details on free school supplies and other resources too.

Thank you in advance for any information.

We know somewhere where you can get help for the school supplies. There are tons of agencies. Read more.
But apply early. If you are on public aid that should help your cause for supplies for your kid.

single mom with 4 kids, yet pregnant again? If the kids are all old enough, they can try student school supply programs, which give free items. But we think Lancaster VA is kind of rural, so hopefully some place around you.

I am a single unemployed mother of two, who just recently lost my mamma. I'm having a tough time at the moment and worried how I'm going to be able to get both my little girls school clothes and especially both their school supplies! Worried as can be.

Unfortunately being a single mom does not determine whether you get school supplies or not. Most charities are income and need based...they have nothing to do with marriage. So you can apply for items, but make sure you bring up the true circumstances as to why you need them. Find the low income school supply programs here. Make sure you apply months before the year starts.

Hello,
I have a question for you?
Do you know of anywhere that is helping with School supplies, I know a family that is in need of help, the husband is out of work because and accident that happened at work, and the wife just recently lost her mother and is having a very hard time on top of dealing with her Lupus. They only get 300 a week.
Thank you in advance for any information.

I am a single mother of two boy’s ages 4 and 6 that need clothing and school items. I receive SSI of about $730 a month. I am trying to get us into an apartment and my 6 year old is about to start first grade at Academy del Sol in Tucson, AZ. They require him to have a uniform for the classroom with a shirt embroidered with their logo. I am trying to find help in at least giving him one complete uniform or other articles of clothing so that way I am able to afford to get us into an apartment. I have applied for section 8 and HUD.

I am in real need of help to get my daughter school supplies and some back to school clothes in Duval County. Is there any way you may be able to help? Or know of somewhere I can get help. I am on public assistance and have a very little budget, and by the time bills and rent are paid there isn't much left.
Thank you for your time.
