I can't afford back to school stuff so I'm going.. Updated!

to a local church event this morning. They are giving free hair cuts, health screenings, backpacks and school supplies, food, furniture, clothes, and baby stuff. I am embarrassed to have to go and I'm hoping I don't see anyone I know. I am only picking up the things we NEED (haircuts, backpacks, shirts for dd, few items for oldest ds (ds2 is set on everything bc of hand-me-downs), and hopefully a pair of shoes for all. I feel really bad having to get stuff for free so I'm going to talk with someone from the church about bringing whatever cloths I have that my children have out grown back to the church next week so that hopefully I can help some other parent that may be in need. 

The bookbags and school supplies were gone in the first 30 minutes so I waited in line to put our names on a list incase there are more donations. Waited in line for 3 hours for haircuts and I noticed when we got home that oldest ds hair is longer on one side than the other so I will have to go pay to get it fixed. :/ oh well.

You are doing what you have to, no shame in that mama. At least you are taking care of their needs. I hope things get better for you.

Do what you gotta do, Mama! It's awesome that you are remembering to pay it forward....

Dont be embarrassed for getting what your children need. I hate when I see parents whose children suffer because they were too damn lazy or proud to take a donation every now and then. Hold your head up you are doing your job right.

You must live in North Carolina, I heard about this on the news.

I think it's great.

It sucks, but work on bettering your situation. You did know this day would be coming at tax time though....

I think that sounds great. You shouldn't be embarrassed. Sometimes people need help.

You are taking care of your children, there is no shame in that.
