The Salvation Army may also have funds. The S.A. office here does help like that. Also the Community Action Agency does, although they have limited funds and when it is gone, no more till the next fiscal year. But worth a call to ask.

If you are this poor, no money, no job - where are you living and how are you eating? Do you receive any assistance from your county's Social Services?
