I know that there is a site avaiable because i have heard about it on the news so if anyone knows what I am tlak ing about please let me know

Answer 1

Try your local freecycle site. You could also post a want ad on craigslist.  

Answer 2

I would go to your local salvation army they are always helping in those situations. Or to your local welfare office to. they are great for when someone needs help. and it sounds like you really do. Just tell them your situation and go from there. I would start at the welfare office first. good luck.

Answer 3

try local food pantry's, churches and salvation army.  

Answer 4

no i dont know a site on the internet but there is always salvation army and depending on where you live social service may help you. sorry about your bad luck

Answer 5

i dont know of a website, but i do know there is human resourses or "welfare". This is why the programs are there, to help family's when in need. they will give you a clothing allowance and help with rent and bill untill you get on your feet....Post an ad on kijiji or something asking if there is anyone willing to donate old clothing for your kids...its ok to ask for help sometimes. Dont be ashamed...sometimes bad things happen to good people...Keep your head up.. sorry im not sure of the website you are talking about
