I’m so scared to ask for help

I want to ask for help with getting baby formula, diapers and clothes on my baby registries but too afraid to ask and I’m afraid people will think I’m an awful cowardly mother and that I should’nt even be a mother at all, but i honesty would do anything for my baby boy. I’m just ranting sorry everyone

What country do you live in? There are probably government-funded programs that will help you.

In the US, WIC (aid to women, infants and children) can help. So can SNAP and TANF (Dept of Welfare and/or Human Services).

Do not be afraid to ask for help. That's why those programs exist.

Local food banks and some churches have programs.

Just about everybody needs help of some kind, sometime.

@Itsjustbrit Try Goodwill or the Salvation Army for children's clothes. Also, try the local food banks like Second Harvest.
