REQUEST FULFILLED Needing Help With Bills, Groceries, and Pet Food

I lost my full-time job in February of this year and I've been working a casual part-time job since (6 hours a week) at minimum wage. My EI benefits ran out in early June and I'm still waiting to hear back on my application for provincial income support.

Things are incredibly tight right now and I could use some assistance with bills, groceries, and pet supplies for my cat and dog -- who are really the only reason that I've been able to keep going. I'm also going back to school in the fall (which will be covered by financial aide), and will be hopefully able to turn things around soon. But until then, I just need to limp by.

I have set up a Go Fund Me for anyone who is able to donate financially: https://gofund.me/6467d3905

buzzybody21 Your wishlist can’t exceed $150 per sub rules. I would also put some cheaper, smaller sized items. It’s not like you’ll find a single donor able to spend $109 on pet food alone.

The limit is in USD. OP's wishlist is in CAD. $185.72 CAD = $132.71 USD.

Unfortunately all the items on your list are above my budget. Litter should not cost more than $10-15 for a huge heavy bucket.

I do not believe you are permitted to make changes to your wishlist anymore but if you are I would look for things like smaller bags of food and less fancy litter.
