Answer 1

you should get food stamps and WIC..up to the childs' 5th birthday. that will give you a bunch of food milk, cereal, cheese, peanut butter. etc. talk to dept of human services. have you applied for sect. 8 or public housing. there is a long waiting list but if you are homeless or have an eviction letter, you can usually get moved up to the top of the list. Can you borrow loans. Most students can borrow unsub. loans even if they have all the other aid they can get or don't qualify for anything else. If you can prove you are in desperate need, you should be able to get an unsubsidized loan. Also, you can get daycare paid while you are in school and work part time. I did that. I was in the same situation as you almost.. I just wasn't about to be homeless so if you have any questions, feel free to write and ask and I will see if i can help

Well, I think you can get food stamps.  Go visit the welfare office and explain your situation.

Also you may want to try a money making technique I used to do to make extra cash.

When I was younger man I would paint the Address numbers on the street curb.  All you need is a rubber mat with a square cut out in the middle, some number stencils and white and black spray paint.

I made a fl yer with my computer and went door to door and taped the flyer to the door.  The flyer would read NOTICE at the top, and then went on to read that I would be painting the address numbers on the curb on Saturday and that they should leave a check for five dollars along with the flyer taped to their door on saturday if they want you to perform the service.  I would also point out all the benefits of having your address painted on the curb, mention that it helps the ambulance find your house in an emergency.  That is a great hook with old people.

Anyway distribute your flyers house to house all week in your spare time, then on Saturday go around and do your painting.

This is an easy way to make a few hundred dollars a week and the fact that you are a student with a baby can only work to your benefit.

I hope that this helps and take good care of your baby.

God bless

Answer 3

It's very likely that you can get food stamps.  You will have to meet some income and resource guidelines.  There are restrictions on students, but since you are a caretaker of such a young child then you will be exempt from those restrictions.
