groceries (West Harlem) Hi everyone. This is incredibly hard for me to post because I’ve always tried to figure things out on my own, but today I need to ask for help. I’m a single mom of four who recently started working after struggling for a long time to get back on my feet. Unfortunately, my HRA benefits were stolen. I filed a police report, but I was told they won’t be replaced. That left us with almost nothing for food until I get paid this Saturday. Thankfully, two of my children are able to eat breakfast at school each morning, which is one less meal I have to worry about. But I still need help making sure my kids have food for lunch, dinner, and snacks over the next few days. I’ve already gone to the food pantries I’m allowed to use this month, and because I just started my job, I can’t take time off during pantry hours without risking the position I’ve worked so hard to get. I’ve also reached out to the few friends and family I thought I could lean on, but I wasn’t able to get any help. If anyone is willing to help with groceries wether store no guy hot or from your own home, it would mean more than I can express. Every little bit helps, and I promise to pay the kindness forward when I’m in a position to do so. Thank you for reading, for caring, and for not judging a mom who’s simply doing everything she can to keep her children fed. ❤️ I live in West Harlem If anyone is able to help, these are the basics my family could really use just enough to get us through until saturday: * Bread * Milk * Eggs * Juice * Peanut butter * Lunch meat (turkey or ham) * Sliced cheese * Mayonnaise * Rice * Pasta * Pasta sauce * Ground beef or chicken * Hot dogs * Mac & cheese

groceries (West Harlem) Expired DESPERATELY IN NEED OF HELP Hi moms ❤️ I don’t usually reach out like this, but I’m in a really tough spot right now and I truly need help for my kids. I’m a single mom of four (18, 12, 11, and 6), and we’ve completely run out of food. With the kids being home this past week, everything went much faster than I planned, and I’m just trying to get us through until the 16th when my food stamps reload. Right now, I don’t have enough to feed them, and that’s a really hard thing to say as a mom. If anyone is able to help with groceries, pantry items, or even a small meal, it would mean more than I can put into words. I’ve already been to a few food pantries this week that I was able to get to locally but they mostly have fresh fruits and veggies or canned items. I was also informed I can only attend once or twice a month so I would need to wait before going back. If you can’t help directly, even sharing resources, some prayers, or even just some advice it would be such a blessing. Thank you so much for reading this and for any kindness you can offer. I just want to make sure my kids don’t go hungry until my benefits reload 💔💕

Ipad (West Harlem) Expired Hey yall. I know this is a stretch. But maybe it’s worth a shot. I am wondering if anyone has an iPad they are willing to part ways with. My son needs an iPad for his night classes. And I also need one for work. ( we can share it as our hours are opposite ) Any kind of iPad. Doesn’t matter how old as long as we can both access our iCloud mail and Internet

Groceries (West Harlem) Expired I am a mom of four. And unfortunately due to the government shutdown we did not receive our snap at all. I am working part time but I do not get paid until NEXT Tuesday. I am in desperate need of some groceries for my babies. And if anybody can help bake a birthday cake. I have a birthday on the 15th and on the 19th. My son is turning 18. My daughter is turning 11. I am unable to bake it myself because we do not have a working oven. I’ve been to a few pantries but they said due to donation cuts we can only come once a month. We are in west Harlem but I am willing to travel to any borrow to feed my babies. Thank you so much.

Birthday Cake (West Harlem) Received Hello. I have my babies birthday coming up Thursday October 16, he is turning 6. I’m struggling a bit. Almost $350 of my foodstamps were stolen at Walmart online and despite me explaining and showing proof to welfare that it was not me and that Walmart does not even deliver to my address they refuse to refund it back to me. I am wondering if anybody would be willing to help with a birthday cake or cupcakes. Normally I would bake my own but I do not have a working oven at the moment. I get cash benefits on the 23 so I will get him a birthday present that day. I just want him to have a cake so his siblings and I can sing happy birthday to him. I can gladly show whatever proof you like. His birthday. My stolen stamps. Etc. I do not mind showing it. I just need some help so my baby can enjoy his special day. I live in west Harlem but I’ll travel anywhere. Thank you.

Cleaning items (West Harlem) Expired Looking for any and all cleaning supplies anybody can spare. My mental health was declining for a while and now that I am getting much needed help my very neglected house needs soooooo much TLC idk where to begin. I get food stamps but no cash assistance so it’s not so easy to get cleaning items on my own. If you have any unopened or even half used floor cleaners soap detergent all purpose or any cleaning products at all. I would be greatly appreciative. Also if anyone has a mop and bucket that would be awesome.
