Struggling
Had the baby 8 weeks ago. Job lost two weeks before that. Bf suddenly left, family refuses to help me. I do understand that I decided to have the baby but I really miss the support. Reapplying for SNAP and WIC again, but in the meantime, counting pennies to be able to eat after buying a full pantry of baby formula and diapers and wipes for my little one. This life isn’t for me and the only one who keeps me here and not ending it all is my sweet baby. Praying for all of us moms in the trenches. 🤍

Check on facebook for people giving formula away for free, and you can also join human milk for human babies if you arent against donated breastmilk. I know you're formula feeding, but it could be access to some free food for your baby. Also, look into food pantries in your area. Talk to local churches (even if you aren't religious) to see if they have any food drives coming up or other reasources you might not know of.
Definitely apply for WIC and SNAP again. It may help to go into an office in-person so someone who knows the system can make dang sure you get approved and may be able to guide you to qualify for more.
what kind of formula does your little take, what brand of wipes are you using, and what state are you in? i would love to help if i can
