So, for all the services that are offered to help poor people, not only do you have to be poor, but you also have to be one of the following:
Disabled
Mentally ill
Drug user
Abused woman
Completely homeless (which, by their definition, my daughter is not because she still has an address)
We are trying to do a preemptive strike and that’s not happening.
I’ve been asking around of anyone has resources, people they know, something. I tried to get my sister in law to understand that my mom’s family doesn’t help in situations like this.
I reached out to my stepmother and dad.
I reached out to my father’s side of the family in this secret group of cousins. My step sister offered to put in some calls to some folks
And that’s where I am…

There are the thrift stores so I'm sure something is around.

Looking at the website, they are connected with United Way 2-1-1. She called them and was told there was on one that could help her.
