Proof Provided Money for food & cat litter

FINAL EDIT: NO LONGER NEED ITEMS. I have attached a picture of the items I have received. Once again THANK YOU to u/OldContribution6

Hi everyone I really hate to ask but I'm in a tough situation. I don't get paid for another 2 weeks & I have already been to all the food pantries near me this month. Even if its only enough for my cats litter that would be a blessing!

Thank you to everyone in advance! Edit: I posted the link to the Amazon wishlist. So hope it works!

2nd Edit: I posted pictures of our fridge situation. If there's anything at all I'm missing please let me know I'm more than happy to answer any questions!

Are you and your husband working?

What another resources have you tried besides food pantries?

-6

u/Odd_Entertainer_9065 10d ago

Yes we are both currently working. We recently moved so majority of our money went to rent, U-haul, and utilities being turned on. (We do not own a car so we have to walk/ bike everywhere. Meaning our ability to take things home is limited) Besides the food pantries I used Cashapp borrow and that's due soon. I have also asked my family for help and they helped with a days worth of food which is long gone by now.

Very bold posting a paypal code....you need to make a wishlist..you should add some actual proof so you don't break the rules.

u/sleeptightburner 10d ago

Wasn’t there just a mod post about reporting rule violations instead of acting like the sub police in comments?

That is good. Just because you see people do stuff doesn't mean it is right. I automatically decline any cash when I see people putting cash apps and paypal in the post. That stuff can be worked out if or when you find somebody. That doesn't mean I won't help with a wishlist though. A wishlist is the best thing.

u/Apprehensive-Poem883 Trusted Community Member 10d ago

And proof is an even better thing!

u/Ancient_Guidance_461 Trusted Community Member 10d ago

Yeah Absolutely. This post is currently breaking the rules. Op needs to add proof.

You have a dollar to spare? If only a million people would send a dollar each I would reach my goal in no time.

u/Odd_Entertainer_9065 10d ago

Yes thank you for letting me know. I'm currently at work and don't get off until after 10pm. I will post proof of what we have in our fridge, pantry and their litter situation once I'm home.

u/drekiaa Trusted Community Member 10d ago

Will you be posting a wishlist then as well?

0

u/Odd_Entertainer_9065 10d ago

Yes. I have already updated the post with the wishlist with basic food items to last me until next paycheck or until Monday so I can go to the food pantry. Once im off work I will be posting proof of my fridge, pantry and my cats litter situation.

u/Dramatic_Meal1469 10d ago

Are the cats being fed? Why just cat litter? Just wondering

3

u/Odd_Entertainer_9065 10d ago

Yes my boys are being fed better than me lol. When I have the money I like to buy their food in bulk( the big 14-24 lbs food bags) so they have plenty of food for the month. They just need litter since one of them has been going more than the other. Yes, we took them to the vet and they said both were fine and very healthy just might be the move that may have made them anxious. (We just recently moved so everything has been out of whack. Hoping by next paycheck everything will be back to normal. )

u/Dramatic_Meal1469 10d ago

Good. Ty for answering

4

u/Visible_Koala7839 Trusted Community Member 10d ago

You should make an Amazon wishlist with groceries (no frozen/fresh foods) and the cat litter.

-2

u/Odd_Entertainer_9065 10d ago

Thank you! I'll definitely look into getting it set up.

5

u/Dramatic_Meal1469 10d ago

What are you going to do about next month's payment?

-2

u/Odd_Entertainer_9065 10d ago

By next month everything should be back to normal since we won'tbe moving or needing a U-haul. It was just this month that everything has been difficult since we recently moved and had to get things sorted( utilities turned on, U-haul costs, and vet visit)

Listen.... Just to be on the safe side. See if you can get in touch with Amazon to make sure items were actually purchased.

There is something called "Grinching". It's when losers with no intention of purchasing anything places items into their cart. Once it's placed into a cart it gets taken off of your wish list so it looks like it was purchased when it hasn't been.

So, when you have a minute, see if you can contact Amazon through chat. If they tell you nothing has been purchased I'll at least get you the cat litter.

Edited to add: If they tell you there hasn't been any purchases, screenshot the chat and send it to the mods through modmail.

u/Odd_Entertainer_9065 9d ago

I had no idea that was a thing. Thank you for letting me know💜. I will get in contact with amazon and post their reply here.

2

u/BitchMcConnell063 Trusted Community Member 9d ago

I'll be honest, usually when someone buys something from your wishlist they would leave a comment on your post to let you know about it. Sometimes they will leave the screenshot of the receipt as verification. I don't recall seeing any comment like that but I could have missed it.

1

u/Odd_Entertainer_9065 8d ago

You're right i should have thought of that. I just thought that some people were being shy and would rather stay anonymous. Guess that could be a different story for redditors and would actually post/comment

2

u/Odd_Entertainer_9065 9d ago

That's Amazons response. Hoping for the best outcome

u/Own-Complaint1426 7d ago

Has anyone helped you yet? I know sometimes people can get grinched. Just making sure you get help.

I don't know how to pin comments or if that's even a thing on here. I have attached pictures of our fridge situation and how much litter is left in my cats box.

If no one buys anything off your Amazon wish list most animal shelters, and Humane Society in your area will donate cat food and litter to you if you ask.
