    Melissa,

    Call your town hall and ask if there are any food pantries around at churches, etc. Explain your circumstances. That's what I did. I'm on a fixed income and there are times when I don't have food (my cats ALWAYS eat before me) so that's what I do. There are times when I live on pasta and butter, PB&J sandwiches, eggs. Sometimes they give you chicken legs or sausages. You'd be surprized the meals you can come up with.

    Barder with your landlord. Again, explain the circumstances. If you've been a good tenant, there's no way they can't work with you.

    This economy sucks. I'm really sorry you're going through this. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

    Love & hugs,

    Donna and fur crew

    Thank you, I will check. We have food right now to last for a while so I'm not too worried about that, and like I said I had someone donate and with my husband looking out we maybe ok and get over this financial hump.

    Thank you,
    Melissa

    Oh Melissa i am so happy someone has been able to help you out, god bless that wonderful person, there truly are some generous,caring individuals out there who will give you the shirt off their back in times of need.

    I continue to hope all will pick up soon and you will be back on your feet again in no time, I am so sorry you are having these difficulties and your husband's illness sounds awful ,poor guy, i really feel for him too.

    I don't think anyone here on PT would expect you to part with your pets, i know i certainly would not, i would do without food myself to feed them, we all can only pray and hope for a positive outcome for you, take care and HUGS.

    We feel the same way. We would make sure they have the food before us. I'm going to look into a few other resources and hopefully we can find some more help to get us through this rough time. I've looked into renting someplace where it would be cheaper but I even make too much which doesn't seem fair at times because of my car payment, car insurace, our food, vet bills, etc. but I guess they don't expect people to have cars or pets so maybe that's what they are basing it off of.

    I'm just having such a stressful morning and I have to go to a company meeting at 9 a.m. and I just feel like crying so much right now. Between my lupron injection putting me through menapause like state and my back hurting I'm just going to cry at the moment. I'm worried still about money but we'll make due it's just going to be really tight and I really just can't wait till I get paid next Wed. even though it won't be much.

    Just needed to vent and hope I don't cry today at work.

    Melissa

    It would probably cost you more in the long run to move anyhow, Melissa, by the time you paid deposits, etc. Moving is expensive even if you don't move that far away. Besides, that's more stress that you just don't need.

    Absolutely true!!!

    And you're right Melissa - there's a lot that isn't fair.

    I get p.o.'ed at these folks in the grocery store that pay with food stamps. Way too many of them are very well dressed and wearing nice jewelry (not the cheap stuff), and then they go out to the parking lot and load those groceries into a new or nearly new car. This is fair???

    Yep I hear you. I know life isn't supposed to be fair but it's like I'm working 8-5 everyday Monday through Friday and I try to pay my bills on time and yet when I look for a little bit of help I make too much but yet what I have left isn't enough.

    I'm going to pull my jeans tonight and list them on Craigslist and hope I can make some quick cash that way as I sorta forgot about paying for the gas in my car and getting around.

    I'm going to look into a few other resources and see what happens but I haven't had any return calls from most of the churches I called and some replied back but said they didn't have funds.

    I'll keep trying.
    Melissa
