Great news as my prayers were answered.
I emailed my worker as another attempt to contact her. She responded in less than an hour. I had my appointment today and she said that she would try her hardest to have them on by the 1st but that if not it would be very soon. So, I was able to get this taken care of and so I'm counting this wish as granted because we will no longer be in need. Thanks to all that supported my wish and voted. @>
We turned in our reapplication for food stamps on April 3rd and it was due in by April 5th. My worker is so over worked and not returning my phone calls. I have not received an appointment for the interview which means that things will not be in place to get our food stamps on May 1st. I'm sure we'll get them hopefully by mid May. We live week to week on my husband's pay. We make just barely enough to pay the bills but nothing left over for food. I am in the process of applying for SSI.
It would be a wonderful blessing to win and then I would know that I can shop very wisely and make it last for a week's worth of food. I will be going to a couple of food banks but they never give enough to make meals and you do not receive any meats. I can get some staples from them and spend the winnings on meats and perishables.
Please help me feed my family as I want my children to have dinner every night. They also need some fruits and cheese to snack on.
Thank you so much for your votes. This is a GREAT need. We are still working on getting caught up from our illnesses and husband's loss of work. Every dime is going to bills and gas in the vehicles. We are not doing anything extra as we are just scraping by. So there's nothing to cut out of the budget to free up for food money. Winning this wish would help to feed my family and I would be forever grateful to the GON community. Please pray for my family as God is the greatest provider. (more)

Good luck!
You're in the exact same position I'm in. I definitely sympathize with you. I guess I'll try for a 3rd time, but some people on here are so crude and mean, and that makes it almost not worth trying this route. The problem is when you have children to feed, you really don't have the option of NOT making EVERY effort out there to get help. Best wishes to you.
good luck sweetie- and if your local office is that swamped- try calling your state office- one thing, it may not help now- but they do "back date" your stamps to the day that you apply- so when you do get them- it will go back to the day of your application to current time. ((huges)) georgie
Should we use your Robin Barnard, Raynestormwolfe or Sweetestrose paypal when wanting to donate? I am sure that Paypal would be a very good way of getting those much needed donations.
Best of luck!! If you can't get in touch with your case worker, you should tell them you want to talk to the supervisor. That usually produces results. I have been there a few times with the new worker they have assigned my case and that's what I did.
good luck
as gas prices go up so does the cost of food. I hope you get approved soon and that amount you get is actually enough to keep you in groceries.
Smilies! Hugs! And lotsa' Love!
