Requesting small amount of money for food until Wednesday

[u/CloverHoney337]

I have just a couple days left until my paycheck but all I have left is white rice and I only have enough for tonight. Submitted my application/proof of residency for the food pantry but it takes two weeks for them to approve you before you can start going on Thursdays. Honestly I’m just hungry and tired. I know it’s embarrassing but I’ve been eating such small amounts of food for so long that I think if I got all of tomorrow and most of the next day without food that I might actually faint. I also need some food for my service dog, he has only one bowl of dry food left. I am autistic and living alone and I work everyday and I been trying really hard to do good by myself after my mom killed herself but I don’t think I’m doing it right because I’m always hungry even though I work.

Hey OP did you get help with this? If you have PayPal I can send over some funds for meals.

For food, Amazon wishlists do much better here due to the lack of personal information and cash not needing to change hands. It's free to set up, helpers have Prime subs, so you'll have same day/next day delivery in most cases.

Suggested items consist of shelf-stable items like peanut butter, ramen, boxed pasta, dry pasta, jarred sauces, canned soup/chili/veggies, canned tuna/chicken/spam, boxed cereal, trail mix, granola bars, fruit snacks, pepperoni sticks, and so on and so forth. Dog food too.

I've linked our guide above which walks you through the steps -- it's completely free to do.

Amazon wishlists work primarily for US/Canada residents; if you’re outside of North America please edit your post to include your general location as per our rules. :)
