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

Those are just the basics so you shouldn’t be scared to ask. Depending on where you live you might find a resource center that will help, there are many agencies here, some church or volunteer sponsored that will help mothers with necessities. Also you may qualify for the WIC program and if you do you can get formula that way.

@cherokeepatti She says that she is already getting food stamps and WIC... I don't know the American system well enough to be able to guide her to something else that might be of use to her.

@HootyTheNightOwl If she has WIC then she shouldn’t be worried about baby formula because it should cover it. There are church charities here that help with the basics, it’s donations given by members of the churches and community.
