Just getting this off my chest....

Lansing MI

Description

We r a family of four. With my youngest at 2 months and we are feeling the stresses of the formula shortage big time. I can't pay my phone or internet bill which means my contact with the outside world is extremely limited. I have no family around me (same for husband). My kids clothes are so dirty becuz we don't have money to do them. We have an electric bike to help us get places but it just got a flat tire. Money is extremely scarce since the only job is a partime fast food. So we have to use this money to buy birth certificates for our apartment offices records and I'm on a deadline that's fast approcahing...if we don't...we will be considered non compliant with HUD and they will stop funding us. Rent goes up to a staggering $850+. So now I have choices to make and it's breaking my damn heart!!!!!! Do I go buy food and feed my babies and myself? This will surely make me homeless. THEN WHAT? Or do I skip meals and cry? I'm already hungry...my babies aren't yet..I make sure of that. They always come first. I thought it was bad when I ran outta trash bags! But this morning, I've run out of toilet paper. One thing after the other...I'm failing to protect and care for my family. I'm at a loss of what to do. I have no friends here...just my family of four.....there's so much more to all this...don't even get me started on diapers and wipes...just thank God i have some today.
