Story of my life....
I just returned form my appointment for foodstamps. I have to go every 6 months. We were getting $245 to feed 4 people. Now we will get $145. I ended up crying and couldnt stop. They dont look at anything except what the income is. Our income is my $745 disability monthly and my husband makes around $800 a month gross. This is the week we dont have food like every month. I guess it will be 3 weeks now instead of 10-14 days of no food. My stomach hurts and is screaming in cramping pain. But what is the worst, my son - he needs fruit and vegetables, he is insulin dependent diabetic. I have exhausted all help available. The food banks give me one bag of food - peanut butter, loaf of bread, mac N cheese and a few canned goods. I cant do it anymore. I cant take the pain and suffering or the damn stress. I have 1/8th of a tank of gas and I have to pick up my husband from work and try and figure out how he will get to work the rest of the week as well as my son to the doctor on Wednesday. Im going to bed and pray I never wake up.

You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. I wish I could give you a real hug.

Have you tried the local food pantry at a nearby church or home
Bunny, I am so sorry you are going through this. I don\'t know what to tell you; I don\'t know what to do. Is your son getting his insulin?
