I really hate being broke. Had only a couple hundred left in the bank and had to choose between getting [livejournal.com profile] fairieboy's plane ticket so he can come home in 6 weeks (have to buy 6 weeks in advance to afford it at all) or buying groceries so we can eat.

Bought the tickets. Found the local foodbank. We don't have much in the way of dairy or meat, but at least we have food. And more importantly, we have managed to make sure our sunshine will return on May 30th.

Ouch! Are you in touch with [livejournal.com profile] dryadgrl about other resources? I know she's brilliant at finding that sort of thing.

I wish we could help, but we're || this close to putting up PayPal buttons ourselves, at least until [livejournal.com profile] sinboy gets a job or [livejournal.com profile] mikz's starts paying him. *(

I'll echo Rose's sentiments about food resources. [livejournal.com profile] dryadgrl is definitely a wiz about finding free/low-cost food.

Did you go to the Davis St. Family Resource center? That's where I'd send you, if that's not where you went already.

(hugs)

Thanks. Yes, the Davis St. Resource Ctr is the local foodbank. They were very nice. Lots of beans, rice & pasta.

Want a 22lb frozen turkey? We need to defrost our upright freezer...

I'm planning to be in San Leandro Sunday afternoon... I could drop it off, if you'd like.

Never hesitate to call us.

I'm sure you've seen from my LJ, we're doing about as well. Maybe we ought to have a stone soup party.
