Answer 1

I don't know about la, but where I live in Florida it's a nightmare to try and get any help.  Before I got married I was making 8 bucks an hour 40 hour a week with a disabled child and only getting $200 in child support on and off. My daughter could get medical but the only other thing we could get was $8 in foodstamps so I said forget it.  But it might be differant in your state.  Florida doesn't seem to like to take care of their people.  goodluck

Don't listen to that idiot below me (as he should be) we all need help.  Whether it's welfare or asking daddy for a little money we all need help from time to time.  God forbid if anything were to ever happen to him, he would be begging for that welfare check..karma is a *****...bet he's a republican

You should also approach the Salvation Army for immediate help, and they may be able to help you with the FITAP and other applications:
