You came here wanted people to applaud your “schnorring”

Without sounding mean if I was in your circumstance this is what I would do

1) Go directly to DSS and apply for Food Stamps, WIC Section 8, HEAP, Welfare SSI Medicaid and any other government program there is , Just to be able to pay some bills and be able to put some food on the table and pay rent.

2) After I had at least some backup Id start to look for a JOB. Instead of schorring people for money, how about Schnorring them for a JOB. Id be spending all my time browsing the job websites asking anyone I know about a job. Id walk into stores and ask to fill out a job application (Most jobs arent advertised)

No offense here , but you say you are destitude and your wife is pregnant. I realize Hashem helps, but if things are really that bad, it might be better to wait until things get a little better before having more kids, Did you at least apply for Medicaid and WIC . What if its a difficult pregnacy, what about if your wife needs a C-Section. Kids are always going to the doctor.
