your all very kind
I am not in any of these areas...
also if people would pay the $2000 in open invoices I wouldn't have this issue
(and most of it needs to go to car, insurance and babysitter... but at least a some would stay over for grocery)
the thing is sometimes we just get stuck but usually we figure it out
now there is just no answer as what to do bec we just don't have a way to shop on credit

Maybe she doesnt want to embarass herself. Or shame her husband by asking for help.
I would never tell my parents how much we struggle because theyll think badly of DH

Is there a kosher restaurant in your neighborhood? I can place an order for pick up and I will never know who you are

I'm in the category that does not get wic or foodstamps
bec we earn to much but every penny goes to house, tuition ..... I'm sure the middle classers understand....
also whatever creative solutions ppl come up with wont help my hunger for tonight |
Middle class even very tight can afford rice beans pasta tuna eggs cereal.
What you are describing is extreme.
I really feel sad for you and hope your situation improves. Sometimes we need to overcome our pride and accept help. You are letting pride get in the way of eating and that isnt sustainable. You can starve tonight but what about tomorrow?
If you post paypal info, I can send you $20 so you can eat tonight and I wont know who you are but you need to come to terms with accepting food from a pantry. Its not shameful. Whats shameful is starving due to misplaced pride.

I'm just pointing out that when we cry to Hashem for a way to survive, He helps in His own way. Let us help you...

thats true, but it doesnt make you feel nice inside not to eat supper.
Please allow us to order you a nice supper and feel dignified. Maybe your husband is hungry after a long day of working/learning. You deserve to eat. And worse comes to worst, youll have leftovers for lunch tomorrow

No one died going to sleep hungry, but it’s 2023 and there’s no reason that should happen. Do it for us. How does it look for to Hashm for us to be going to sleep when there is a yid hungry? It’s like the zaken mamrei, we have an obligation to each other. Please let us fulfill that

OP, maybe just put your zelle and delete your post in a few min? That way you’ll have food for now thru shabbos. You’re a good person and you did nothing wrong. You can allow someone to do a chesed and you will repay to tzedaka when you’re able.

I can do zelle also but I think paypal is more anonymous. Either option would work. You would be doing me a favor and make me feel like I did something good. Helping others do a mitzvah is huge.
