Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="Deleted member 208503" data-source="post: 2711919">I looked over the document you sent. I am receiving the maximum financial help. For housing and food.Foot care is 100 plus per appointment. I'm not not sure why that's on there as a helpful thing.I checked for diabetes support groups and am on a list should one be developed. Our good food box was canceled during covid and never reestablished. I'm unable to get food from the food banks. For very unfair reasons. We have 2 where I live. When I asked to receive soup as I am endentulous the lady said exactly--- we do not cater to people. The other food bank replied to my request with- we don't give out special food.But even so if they would help by giving me usable foods I still need $7 every visit.We have a place with free lunches 5 x a week and a different place for evening meals 5x a week. But again I need the $7 to get there then back. And there was a free bus pass program for this but it was cut out. And the lunch one served the perfect food for me--- soup.I was involved with mental health here but they closed my file.  The reason being that you had to be "working on something ". I guess needing help with eating and cooking and finding food was not " working on something "So it seems that I'm truly at a dead end.</blockquote>
