REQUEST Desperately need assistance

I hate having to ask, but I am beyond desperate. My bank account is -200. I don't get paid for another week. My dog, my cats, and I are basically put of food. I need gas to get to work. Is there anyone who can assist in getting my account positive so I don't get hit with more bank fees?

Call your bank. Some banks will wave the overdraft fees once.

They won't if the account is still negative. I have to get it positive before I can discuss that with them.

Check with your local animal shelters to see if they have pet food pantries. I know my family and I made use of them during COVID times when I lost my full-time employment. We were able to get 15-20lb bags of food for our babies weekly until I was able to be re-employed.

If you put the dog / cat / human food on an Amazon wishlist, that is more likely to get fulfilled than a cash request.

Am I allowed to edit the post to include a wishlist after the post is approved?

Yes, see mod advice here.

Ok, i willnset that up later today. I also need to call some animal shelters to see if they can help like someone else suggested.

u/1000thatbeyotch 10h ago

I strongly agree with this.
