in response to...I read your post and i see the scam artists right here in my town.
And ill tell you that if you go to food bank here ,the workers think everyone is a scam artist.
I recently lost my job i work part time looking for full time work,and i had to go to food bank,sign up for toys for tots and apply for welfare benfits,its degrading. Those workers deal with so many who really dont need help that they are standoffish to those who do.
I have 3 shut off notices,close to be evicted,losing my car scrounge for gas money,its unreal,and to ask for help and to know that you are going to be treated that way makes it much worse.
But on the happy note it also makes you want to do more to get rid of needing that help.
I hope all can find help that need it,it is truly hard to get help anymore,i have 3 boys and i find it hard just to keep food on the table,but i manage and hopefully all that read this can get help and someday will be able to help someone else in trouble.
Just remember everyone unless they were born rich has been where you are now or close to it or much worse,so even an encouragement or kind word is a big help.
If you live in butler county,pa the toys for tot program is only taking kids for few more days their number is 724-865-9852
And ive heard that st vincents food bank is the better one to join.
If i find anything else that helps ill post it.
