The story

I’m a single mom raising two teenage daughters with disabilities, and I’m reaching out because I’ve been having a difficult time keeping up with the cost of groceries. I work full-time and do my best to provide a stable, comfortable home for my girls. Unfortunately, I’m in that frustrating position where I make just a little too much to qualify for SNAP benefits, but my income still isn’t enough to comfortably cover all of our basic expenses. Between housing, utilities, groceries, and the additional needs that come with raising two children with disabilities, there isn’t much left at the end of each paycheck. Grocery prices have become especially difficult to manage, and I find myself constantly watching what I spend and trying to stretch everything as far as possible. I’m also working toward my master’s degree in social work because I want to create a better future for my family and eventually help others facing similar challenges. I’m not expecting anyone to solve all of our financial problems. I’m simply hoping for some assistance with groceries to help us get through this difficult stretch. Any support would go directly toward food and household necessities for my daughters and me. Thank you for taking the time to read our story. Even a little help would mean so much to our family.

  • Praying your groceries are provided for and that your studies and hard work are met with support.

      The extra needs that come with raising two girls with disabilities rarely show up in a budget, and you are carrying them alone. Praying for practical help with food and strength for each day.

      • The gap where you earn too much for help but not enough for groceries is a real and frustrating one. Praying your table stays full and your effort is seen.

        • Studying social work because you want to help others in the same tight spot says a lot about where your heart is. May your table stay full this month and may God's care reach you through people who read this.

          • Working full time, studying for a master's and raising two girls with disabilities is three full loads at once. Praying food is provided and that your effort is seen.
