First time at a food bank
Hi friends, I think I’ve been in denial about our poverty status for some time. I have a 6 month old baby and my husband makes very little. We are both working to get out of this situation soon. We are 22 now so I’m still in school and he is working an apprenticeship. Yesterday we straight up couldn’t afford diapers. It was diapers or food for us. I chose diapers. I haven’t been on food stamps even though we qualify, it’s embarrassing for me. But now I’m ready to accept help, this week I’m thinking of going to a free meal at a food bank. I’m worried about being judged or what if I don’t “look” poor enough. Just need some advice or encouragement, maybe you’ve been here before❤️
