I would look into why you're getting such a low amount of food stamps. For 4 kids, my brother gets almost $1000 in food stamps, and that's on top of him working. Something doesn't sound right about only $188.

You can go to your local W.I.C. office. They help with food, as well as other things, while you're pregnant. It's mostly all store brand stuff, but hey... it's better than starving! I suggest making an appointment soon.

I am so sorry your in such a stressful environment.  But you can try your local wic offices they are great. They will give you food for the mother while pregnacy and afterwards for the baby, formula and cereal.   Good luck to you♡

I am praying for you....because you are suppose to be eating. You are able to get help from the government they well give you good stamps and money. I know what you mean about having younger siblings and being responsible for them.

If you are 18 or older you can apply for your own food stamps as well as cash assistance.

Sad part is I'm in my parents house and we do get food stamps. But for us 4 kids they only give up 188 and I'm planning on moving out when I'm more financial stable. But my older brother and his kid just waist everything and he doesn't help with $hitz

Have you tried applying for food assistance? That way you have control of what goes in the house plus you could still help your siblings?

Sounds like a bad environment for you, especially to bring a baby into.. why don't you look into moving out?

That's how I feel ... minus the alcohol. My babyfather isn't helping with **** . And i swear I don't want to ask ppl for ask nothing .   Did you have a job before pregnancy?  Maybe you can collect temporary disability.
