My sister and I decided that we could save money by moving in together, but this month, everything has gone wrong. She lost her Food Stamps due to a bureaucratic computer mistake and it's going to take weeks to fix. In the meantime, we've been trying to feed six people on Food Stamps meant for two. I couldn't just let my sister and her kids go hungry. I used *my* Food Stamps to buy groceries for all of us, but the amount I get isn't even close to the amount needed to feed six people. It's the end of the month and things are BAD. The freezer is empty and the fridge is empty of nearly everything that isn't a condiment. We have four kids to feed between us. They already had to do without Easter baskets or candy; I think I'll die if I have to tell the kids that they'll have to do without food. We've cooked all the ramen, spaghetti-o's, beans, and rice that we had. We've been to the food banks, but we can't go back for 3 months. I don't know what else to do.

Please god, help us feed the kids. Me and my sister are willing to do without, but the little ones need food. There are three boys (ages 7, 9, and 11) and one girl (age 12). They eat breakfast and lunch at school on the weekdays, but we need to feed them dinners on the weekdays and all meals on the weekends. My sister's Food Stamps won't be credited to her EBT card until the 8th at the absolute earliest, and maybe not until next month if the computer mistake takes longer to fix; please, please help us.

Gift cards for grocery stores are absolutely fine if you'd rather not send cash--the closest store to us is Kroger (which is best, since we don't have a car) but we can take the bus to Wal-Mart or K-mart if we have to. We could also use a few other non-grocery things like shampoo, soap, and toilet paper, but the food is the most important thing. We're down to 6 slices of bread, 1 egg, a bag of frozen peas, and some old lunch meat ham that I'm not sure is even good anymore. I have no idea what we're going to do for dinner tomorrow night.
