Are there any websites similar to craigslist or freecycle for low income mom?
I'm 17 and just got married recently to the father of my child. Neither of my parents ever had much money so at 16 I had to move in with my then-fiance'. The only thing I wanted for a year after was to marry him so 2 monthes after my 17th birthday my mom paid and signed for me and we had a pretty decent wedding for under $300 including food and transportation for me him and both our moms. I found out in may I was pregnant and August found out it's a boy. Were pretty happy about it. We don't have much money ourselves just starting (and I refuse to get on welfare or food stamps. Period. Its not fair for those who are homeless/very poor) but we were looking for more frugal ways to help cut costs when the baby comes. I already use w.i.c. to supplement our food, and craigslist and freecycle.org to serch for free/low cost baby items that people rather not throw out. I was just wondering if anyone knows about other similar websites -or- organizations that could help us without taking tax payers money (belive me I feel bad about being on w.i.c so far and its only been a month). Also I live in orange county California if that helps.
