do we have any emergency assistance for employees?

after losing my sons father, things have been extremely hard. i’m down to one income with my one year old. i struggle getting around to food banks due to my schedule & now, lack of transportation.

i don’t qualify for food stamps. i just need help getting some food & basic necessities in the house. do we have any emergency assistance or employee fund or anything like that?

i’ve been with the company for nearly four years.

please be kind. i could seriously use some help. i’d appreciate it.

please be kind. after losing my sons father & with everything going on in life recently, i’ve noticed that my PPD has truly started to get the best of me… it’s just my son & i which is wonderful but, can be challenging..

i desperately need help with putting some food in the house. i don’t even care about for me, even if it’s just for him. he is one years old. my wic appointment isn’t for another week & i don’t get food stamps.

also, if there’s anywhere that helps that toiletries, cleaning products, hygiene items, even “self care” items. that would be amazing. honestly, any resources you ladies have would be great! it’s been hard getting around with no vehicle & my work schedule.

if anyone is heading to a food bank today & i could tag along, that would be great. i do have my son though.

i hate having to post this but, really know i’m at the point where i have to speak up for his sake. if anyone is willing to help in anyway, we’d be extremely appreciative. i’m in Norfolk.

first birthday after losing parent

it’s my sons first birthday in 2 weeks. we lost his father a little over a month ago to suicide. i am so upset that his father can’t be there, it doesn’t seem real or right. on top of it, i had to cancel his birthday party i had been planning for a couple of months because i just cannot afford it since this has happened & don’t have anyone to invite anyway…

i can’t even afford to get him anything really & i feel disgusting about that. i do work, as much as i can but, being the only income now + the cost of the funeral, i have really been struggling to keep my head above water since this happened.

we struggle with basics now & that’s never really been an issue before. i know it’s not my fault & it’s a result of a really horrible tragedy in life & i know he won’t know the difference but, i feel like a horrible mother.

please give me ideas on ways i can still make it fun for him. i don’t have a vehicle anymore which makes things very difficult. unfortunately, it was the “weapon” his father used to end his life.
