Im slowly running out of food and i don't know any other avenue of feeding my son.
This is an burner account,I don't want to post this on my main and break the guidelines to this sub.
But I just need to vent,I don't have anyone irl to vent to,I just want to see if it will help my stress.
I'm a single dad,im an independent contractor working as a 1099 for a individual who just got his LLC,but his investor has been on vacation and hasnt paid my boss so work hasn't been a thing for over 3 weeks,I've tried to find day labor and do doordash in the mean time but that is proving futile. I don't have good enough credit at the moment to apply for a loan but im slowly working on getting it better after hospital bills my insurance didn't cover hit my credit.
The only food bank in town I went to last Tuesday barely got anything and I can't return for 30 days.
I have applied for food stamps but haven't received a letter or anything in the mail to signify a sign of hope in that aspect of providing. My son is 11 so he at least eats at school but coming home is a challenge as of late. My other bills thankfully I paid them up in advance but groceries have been a huge struggle I don't want my son without but im starting to feel like a failure as a dad.
I'm putting in applications for w2 work an job security but nothing has called me back. Im stuck.
