Jessalyn Wise hasn't added a story.
Hi, Jean/Jessalyn here. As most of you know, I live off of extremely limited funds (about $50 a month on average for household and personal care items, not to mention cat food and cat litter) and do my best to squeeze by on those. (Last month I went crazy and splurged on THREE pairs of pants from WalMart for $17 total.) But this month I suddenly ran out of everything that food stamps don't cover. Kleenex (I have allergies, and this is a big allergen time of year). Toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap, bleach (I used a lotta bleach for the apartment inspection earlier this month). SOS pads, a new scrubby sponge. Shampoo. Ibuprofen, deodorant, those certain products that women of a certain age use for when they laugh or cough or sneeze (yeah, you know what I mean), toothpaste, bandaids. Cat litter. Laundry money for the coin-operated machines in my building. When one or two or even three of these things come up in a month,I can handle it. But all at once, and the budget is suddenly overwhelmed. I'm hoping to raise $100, but even any part of that will help. I know that many of you have your own tough situations and can't help. I understand completely. If you can help, I'm so grateful. xxoo
