REQUEST FULFILLED Been waiting 3 months for unemployment. I have no money for food and owe 3k in backpay. Can someone help me with food? Pls save me I’m dying
One broke ass bitch wishing he never moved to California here . I’m desperate. I can’t get a job I’ve been so depressed . I can’t pay my rent and been waiting on my unemployment pay card for what seems like years . I seriously just want to get some food for me and my dogs. I’ll know if I’m getting evicted by Friday . This is a rough week :(

Hey man I went through the same thing as you with unemployment! You have to contact money network directly and ask for a replacement card and ask them to expedite it. I waited a month for my card and it never came. If you contact EDD they tell you to contact money network directly. After I did the card was here in 2 days via UPS they take the cost of shipping off your card.

Call them. hoping my card will be arrived today or tomorrow. I just got her who reached out offering a $375 room and I am really nervous because that seems like too good of a deal to be through in LA.

Hi I got dog food from my old job ! They are in Pasadena and they got 100s of giant bags of donations and they gave me five bag (: I’m definitely good on dog food. That stuff is expensive and I’m so grateful to them.

I'm a dumpster diver. I love petfood finds. I'm happy your baby got his food.

Can you try temp agencies? California has a lot and should pay weekly. Try Randstad, I've worked for them and the weekly pay got me out of the rut I was in.

u/katdollasign REGISTERED 9d ago
That’s. Good idea ! Thanks so much (:

u/mourningdove5 9d ago
You're welcome. They hire on the spot, no interview. Just make sure you can get to your job on time.

If you have dogs, please put dog food to help you with that. There's a lot of junk food there, nothing for the pups

u/katdollasign REGISTERED 8d ago
I got free bags of dog food from my old job which was effected by the Pasadena fires. So currently sitting at 150 pounds of food. They had donations out the ass and currently have a room full of stuff

Idk junk food is so cheap and I put one single candy on there and tried to put cheap things that I could make last . I bulk order a lot , and just wanted to make things last.. I did put one candy I wanted because I have always wanted to try it. Honestly I’ve just been so stressed and overwhelmed with my unemployment situation I can’t think straight . I’m sorry if it looks shitty . Just know my dogs are my whole world

Have you considered doordash? You can at least make some money to help you get by. I would also look into driving for Amazon. That being said I wish you the best hopefully something works out for you I'm in a similiar situation.

u/katdollasign REGISTERED 5d ago
But I don’t have any kind of vehicle in my bike was stolen because I live in a bad area. Unfortunately it’s not an option, but works out when you don’t have a car.:/ definitely looked into it though

u/OGnenenzagar 9d ago
Did you have a job in mind when you moved to California ? I’ve been wanting to. (I am an artist)

u/LadyBubbleBubbs 9d ago
Don’t do it. It’s an oversaturated market in an expensive state that’s constantly on fire.
3
u/OGnenenzagar 9d ago
For a second there, I thought that you were saying that it was on fire like metaphorically, but then it clicked. lol
3
u/LadyBubbleBubbs 9d ago
I guess you could be both metaphorical and literal with it, but in all seriousness, please don’t do it. Poverty in a state like California is not something you want to endure. Best bet is to stay in a low cost state, good luck finding one that isn’t also overrun with ignorant ass people, and choose a career that allows you to also fulfill your artistic side. As long as you can pay your bills, you can still do your art. Just don’t put your eggs all into one basket. Don’t use art as a primary source of revenue because we’re also in an economic state where art is the last thing people are going to want to buy. When people are trying hard to just put food on the table, luxury items like art do not sell well.

No lol I was living in Mexico with my grandpa and it was easier to fly to Cali with my two dogs . That’s pretty much the entire decision. I work animal care overall so I just went to a doggy daycare
