Just so you know in the US if you apply for food stamps you can actually get 3 months of stamps without meeting the hour work requirements so you can get back on your feet. I did it in the summer with my partner and we both did not meet the hour requirement. (We were employed though) and we qualified for SNAP. If you qualify you can get discounts on a lot of other basic services like electric and internet. Its so much easier to do everything to get your life in order when you don’t have to worry about food money. Utilize food banks in the meantime. Thats literally what they are there for. I wish the best to both of you and hope it turns around soon for you.
