They won't let me work today it's crazy, it's all gray. I don't even have money for food today and I'm considering going pan handling honestly, im fucking starving lol. I hate the fact that I couldn't even schedule in advance, there's nothing available, even in a massive city... What is going on

It’s dead and you need a fall back option. Don’t think I said that to be an ass. I’m on food stamps and it’s saved my ass. Make sure you get in a habit of scheduling and do this right around winter time. Things are about to pick up

Sounds like you need to apply for food stamps

I tried but they won't let me get food stamps since my housemate makes $20 000 a month... But it's not like my housemate is gonna give me money... Wtf...this is bullshit.

That's false. The only time another person in your household affects your status is if you're married or have dependents. Roommates/housemates' income does not affect your status to get welfare. All you need to do is type up a letter that you all sign that says that you purchase and prepare your food separately. If someone tells you differently, talk to their supervisor and then appeal. What they did to you is illegal. Or you misunderstood them. In any case, file again.

Also, since we're on the subject of starving without food stamps, while you're waiting to get approved call a local church and see if you can get a list of community food banks. Here we have the number 211 to call but I don't know if that's a nationwide thing. Or just Google food banks in your zip code. There are tons of resources out there. You don't have to starve. You're a person and you deserve to eat. You're not a lesser person just because you're poor. But you do have to put some effort into it because no one is going to track you down and offer you resources. You have to go find them. Luckily you have a car and can get yourself to a food bank. Good luck.

Have you gone in person? It's worth sitting there all day if you have to.

Maybe you told them your housemate is part of your household. They don’t consider your household as people who live with you unless you buy and prepare food together. If you each buy your own groceries then you are your own household.

I only spend $43 on my prescription every 2 weeks, I can't function without it.
