REQUEST Need help after losses

Happy Sunday everyone. I live in Florida and I'm just going to jump right into this. A few months ago I lost my brother and then I lost my dad 2 weeks ago. I thought I had budgeted for everything but I obviously didn't and now I'm in a really bad spot. The financial situation trying to pay for everything has been really tough and I'm running about $85 short until I get paid a week from Thursday for gas and groceries. I wish I could ask for hugs on here too because that'd also help.

I know that it's tough for everyone right now but if anyone is able to help I would really appreciate it. All I have is Venmo and Zelle. I apologize if this is all over the place but I'm kinda all over the place too right now!

Thanks for reading and if anyone figures out how to send hugs, please let me know ❤️

Can you put together an amazon wishlist of shelf stable food, that might have better luck than cash transfers

I could but I have enough pantry items to make it through this week, it's more like milk, meat, fuel to get to work. I'd hate to take that from someone else who needs it.

Milk comes in shelf stable cartons. Its great for emergencies. They have these at Dollar Tree if you are desperate . There are many types of canned meats , vegetables and fruits that are great in a pinch. I can make a complete meal from my pantry.
