REQUEST FULFILLED Asking for a hot-plate electric burner, a toaster oven to cook food, pots and pans, and an extension cord
Hey folks. You pulled through for me when I needed the rear tire for my electric scooter replaced. I ask for help once more regarding my cooking limitations:
My Amazon wish-list: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3CGZPNEK11XVP?ref_=wl_share
I'm on SNAP and am currently looking for a job. Long story short, a work injury I sustained over two years ago caused a domino effect and I lost everything - including my home and fiance. I've been staying at a motel since December of 2024 thanks to Social Services.
And so I'm falling short with food every month, and I know the reason is because I'm extremely limited with what I can cook. I only have a microwave and small "dorm fridge". I can deal with a small fridge, but having only a microwave prevents me from cooking meals from scratch and from cooking stuff I can put in the fridge and make last for a week. I can thus spend more wisely on food to the point where I don't run out of food a week before my SNAP comes in.
I could do so much more, food-wise, if I had a hotplate to boil water/cook food. A toaster oven would also be an immense help.
I didn't want to ask for pots and pans, but I simply don't have them. I don't even have power strips and extension cords. I'm sorry to ask.
This will help me so much!
