Have you ever had to panhandle?

I am getting to the point where I will wheel down to the end of the block and panhandle. How else can I get money ASAP? Cash app doesn't seem to work, even though it makes the most sense. $MrsJRuth if you care to help. Our laundry is so dirty and we need toothpaste and toilet paper and dish soap. Will you assist? God Bless you even if you choose not too. Going to a church is not an option, it would take a week, so that wouldn't make any sense. Good day

If you have an Amazon wish list, or give out a location I'm sure people will be willing to help you. I'm not a fan of giving people money. A lot of cities, even small cities have food banks. Also depending on the cities places like little cesears will leave their 'reject pizzas' out for people who need it.

Another suggestion if you're in well enough health talk to your local plasma bank, donate some plasma.

@MissyRu53 Just a bit of a stomach bug one of my students and/or one of my own children passed to me. Nothing serious, minus the fact that eye gets blurry when I'm sick (and with one eye its not easy to see or type).

I got to hear back from her and one of her major suggestions is talking to any local social worker, as she's usually only working with kids that age out of the shelter and need to find somewhere to go.

@UnholyTranquility I just can't win. I would rather work, and it hurts that I can't be like I used to be. I don't choose to be disabled. The government just chooses to ignore it and make me suffer year after year. Pretty cruel if you ask me.

No,, but I did sell quick sketches or caricatures and do tarot readings for a meal.

There’s always food banks and other low income family resources that help people out with the essentials like dish soap, laundry soap, toothpaste etc.

A go-fundme page is an option and contacting goodwill or salvation army could also lead to great suggestions. Noone here can verify who you are. You'd be better off communicating your situation with an expert.

@SW-User This is me. No reason to lie.

United Way may be able to help. It’s 211 on most phones. If not just look up their number locally.

Well it would work for next week it is called planning. Example you shouldn't ask for help on rent and utilities when they are past due then you have all the late fees and the next month is due in a week.

MissyRu53

@dale74 I reached out 2 weeks prior. Nobody chose to help.

$MrsJRuth. I tried to be heard for an hour today. I didn't panhandle, I just held up a sign about my situation.
