Free Medication, School Supplies, Coats, Etc. for Kids

There have been several posts of people who have lost their jobs. A resource to look into: Many local school district's teacher's unions have foundations that teachers can request funds for medications, jackets, glasses, etc. for students. If you feel comfortable, ask to speak with the president of your local teacher's union or your child's classroom teacher. I have used this for many students in the past, and even had to use it ourselves for my son's medication. It's as simple as asking.

You can also look into local charities, state-level assistance programs, and other non-profits that offer financial help to those in need. Check with your local government offices or your local social services office for more information. Additionally, many churches and religious organizations offer assistance to those in need. Finally, if you are struggling to make ends meet, consider reaching out to family and friends who may be able to provide temporary financial assistance.

Hi there, thank you for sharing this resource. It's always heartwarming to see communities come together to support those in need. I had no idea that teacher's unions had foundations like this. I will definitely keep this in mind and pass it along to anyone I know who may be in need. It's great to know that there are options out there for families who may be struggling financially. Thank you for sharing your personal experience as well, it's always helpful to hear firsthand accounts. Take care.
