Help for a needy single mom with a child.

Rhonda Baker Benton is a 50 Yr. Old Disabled/Single Mom of an 11 Year Old Son who's last day of School Is Next Thursday...  Here is her story.

My Son and I Moved in with my Mom Last March, Just around the Corner from where Our Rented House is. Mom was diagnosed with 4th Stage Lung Cancer and oh how we struggled and begged and pleaded for Nutritious Food, Nutritional Drinks, and Just Food Gift Cards. We lost my Mom in December and Buried her on Christmas Eve. So, Now it's back to just me and my son. I CAN"T get ANY Food Assistance because of a $3.00 "Over the Limit" on Lawrence County's Guideline for Food Stamps.

After Mom's Passing, It's been me and ONLY me that has been left here to pack it up and try my best to get it into our rented House. It's so hard for me sometime well, every time I'm over there, there is always a shirt, shoe, just something that brings me down and I just sir and cry my eyes out and have to come home. My Ohio Brother and Dad wants a TV, Bed, and had the nerve to ask for the rest of the canned foods we had? I could go on and on, but my MAIN CONCERN is My Son when School is out. I'm so thankful for the FREE Breakfast and Lunches he receives at School. We have 1 Pantry here that 99% of the Churches DONATE to, but they have an Ad in the Sunday & Wednesday Advocate Paper "WANTING, ASKING AND NEEDING" DONATIONS?? 4-, ,5 cans of food just don't get it and the Main things, the Pantry don't offer; MILK, BREAD, EGGS, BUTTER, FLOUR, MEAL, MEAT AND TOILETRIES; WASHING POWDERS, DISHWASHING LIQUID, TOOTHPASTE, SOAP, FEMININE PRODUCTS, ETC.

IF ONE OF YOU COULD RE-POST THIS ON YOUR TIMELINE/WALL, WE NEVER KNOW. I'm so worried. We have less that a 1/2 gallon of milk til next Wednesday and I'm scared to death. We have no one! Austin's dad in Ohio thinks his child support should be all that he should do? We have a Walmart, Kroger, Sav-A-Lot, and a Superama..I will send you the receipts if necessary. PLEASE, help my Son and I...a $1.00 here and a $1.00 there can add up...I begged and pleaded for my Mom's stuff and it was not successful at all, but we made it as best as we could. Just asking for ANY help. Food Gift Cards would be wonderful. We have maybe a 1/2 gallon of milk to TRY and last us til next Wednesday?
I'm just Praying that Ya'all would Post this onto your Timeline/Wall for me and thats a good start?? There are so many generous and Godly people out there, just ANYTHING...
