Look up the Buy Nothing Project on Facebook... Find a group near you, and join. Lots of moms and people there can help. You just post an "Ask" to the group. I'm sorry you found a jerk putting that out there. I hope you find someone local to help. Hugs mama. Don't give up.

Yes, the local Buy Nothing group I am a part of has been incredibly helpful both in getting rid of things I no longer need but are in good condition, and in picking up free items either I or my clients can make use of. The people in my group also post free community resources sometimes.

Our church often helps moms with meals and diapers if they need them. So if you're a part of a church might also check there.

His whole family & now his friends make it seem like it’s MY fault that HE put his hands on me.🙃 I just hate this!

Im sorry that happened. Some people are vile. Thankfully there are good people in the world. Have you tried your local library? They often hear about different charity programs offered to the community.

I’m so sorry. Don’t be discouraged. There are far more good people than truly terrible. Don’t give up, you can do this!

Thank you friend!

You should report the harassment so it’s on record. She just admitted she knows he abused you so if something happens in court, you might be able to bring that to your lawyer

Look up crisis pregnancy centers in your area.

I don’t agree with their mission and I don’t like their tactics but they will often have information about resources for low income mothers specific to your area and they may be able to provide you with diapers, wipes and other baby/kid stuff.

Ya know, at this point I feel like I have absolutely fought my hardest. And it hasn’t turned around at all. I appreciate you so very much🫶🏽

Just remember, those kids love you very much.

How horrible. I'm sorry

I'm pretty sure Facebook allows you to create sub profiles for you to post with a different name if you're concerned

I just feel so defeated. All for just trying to feed my babies… was denied Food Stamps. I hate being alone. I feel like I don’t have anymore fight in me left.
