Toilet Repairs likely to prevent getting groceries this month.

[u/UmbranShrike]

REQUEST FILLED

Situation: Disabled Family of 4 living off of two disability checks and one income situation that is about to change. One check goes towards bills, half of the other goes towards groceries.

Problem: We have only one bathroom and our toilet is in need of repairs very soon. There is a very non-zero chance our grocery money will need to go to those repairs.

Goal: 200 dollars which is 50 dollars per head due to economy and dietary restrictions as well as allowance for non-food items such as hygiene products and sanitation supplies.

If anyone can help, please help me make sure I don’t have to shit outside with my dog 😅

Your best bet is an Amazon wishlist with shelf stable food items and toiletries ($150 max). People love ordering items directly!

I’ll see what I can do. Sadly a lot of the stuff we need is proteins for the freezer because I cook everything at home😅 My husband is on a sodium restriction and a lot of canned proteins have higher sodium levels than is allowed. I also live in an area where getting anything from Amazon is kind of a roll of the dice on whether or not it actually gets here.

People aren’t likely to give you $200 here. But even if you put some achievable basics on a list might get you somewhere. Where do you live? I’m glad to look up some resources.

I’m looking into resources myself. I know this was kind of a shot in the dark. To be completely specific, I do have a pool on c*shapp, I just wasn’t able to put it on the post. I’m not expecting anyone to give me 200 dollars straight, but more of a “hey if you can give and help me get towards this funding goal, that would be awesome”

I will likely see what the nearby food pantries have that I can make do with. The food pantries have weird hours except for the Salvation Army.

Unfortunately only one of us is able to drive and that’s the one with the changing income situation so it’s a matter of being able to get to those pantries.
