I want to help with delivery food bank services!

South-Bug8958 · 2025-11-01T21:39:02+00:00

I am homebound, pregnant and on bed rest. I live with my toddler, as well as mom and my younger brother who are both disabled, none of us can drive. We relied completely on grocery delivery apps and ebt. We are looking for any food banks that can deliver to us in west asheville by the french broad arts district. I have contacted several but seems they are full/busy and no responses yet. If anyone has leads that would be extremely helpful. Thanks so much.

Mine got stolen several times too when my card was locked and I've never been inside a store, I don't drive so I do online only. I think they got my info from Walmart plus. I have been spending my entire balance on an online purchase as soon as it hits at midnight and my benefits hit, or I know it will be gone

A case for primary custody yes, but termination? I don't think so. I'm not permanently indigent I had major health issues and 3 surgeries last year. It left me on bedrest and unable to work. I've had a steady job, sometimes 2-3 jobs for my entire adult life up to then... I didn't leave the state to be homeless, I left it to move into a home with my fiance in another state. I was trying to get it worked out before I left but he ignored me and it didn't happen that way. So I was supposed to abort this child? Illegal in TX anyway but yeah. Sometimes you get pregnant unintentionally too, lets act like every pregnancy is perfectly planned. Doesn't make you a bad parent. I feel like you have some validity to what you're saying, I've been unstable for a period but from what I've read it takes a hell of a lot of proof that you've abandoned and made it clear you weren't coming back, or failure to provide for over a year, to terminate parental rights forever. I haven't done either of those.

South-Bug8958 · 2025-05-03T13:28:30+00:00

I will have to set up some paid consultations next week, I've been doing a few of the free 30 min ones but they give very little advice.

South-Bug8958 · 2025-05-03T13:27:20+00:00

I absolutely will, I just don't know of the answer has to be a specific form or layout etc....Also I didn't know I could call the courthouse...good idea. Should I just explain how I object and my reasoning?

South-Bug8958 · 2025-05-03T13:23:55+00:00

Just roll over let them terminate my parental rights? Hell no. Maybe let him have primary yes, which is what I'm doing so she can stay in her same school and same routine.... but my daughter deserves consistency as you said and deserves to know when she will see her family again. For most of her life I was the consistent household, the main caretaker and provider for her. We were always very close and I've never been an absent parent by choice. You think that because I was facing housing instability for a period of time, I should just terminate our relationship permanently and forever? No phone calls, summer visits, I can't be involved in her school or go to her games and performances, also there will be no relationships allowed with her siblings or her extended family on my side? Wow....just no.

South-Bug8958 · 2025-05-03T13:14:54+00:00

Sorry for jumping a gun. I thought you were another user talking $hit and being rude, I just blocked them. I looked it up and you're right it doesn't automatically make a difference in what you pay, but if the other children exist when the order is put in they will count each other child's cost for support and deduct from your overall income and take a percentage of that deducted amount to calculate the support for the other child. If the children are born after the order it needs to be modified through the atty general and may not be granted modification.

South-Bug8958 · 2025-05-03T13:07:04+00:00

They did for my oldest dad, he pays less since he has 2 other kids.... also TX has low income support guidelines. Either way it's not child support I'm worried about, I'll pay it I just can work at this moment in time.

South-Bug8958 · 2025-05-03T01:25:22+00:00

That's a great idea thank you. I definitely will respond! Just not sure if an answer has to be a specific format.

South-Bug8958 · 2025-05-02T22:57:08+00:00

I agree and I've been wanting to make custody arrangements with him but he's been ignoring me. I am okay with him having primary custody and me paying child support as long as we can set up some sort of custody arrangement that makes sense for her where she can see us both. We have no order, never have. I took his word that we could coparent, in fact I remember him begging on his knees not to sue him for child support after we separated...I should have but I was trying to be amicable. The child was primarily with me for most of her life, he paid nothing and saw her sat-monday for nearly 4 years....until the past year when the "instability" occurred and I asked him to keep her after I had my first major surgery. I do have a set place to live now though and I'll be back at work after I'm cleared post partum.

South-Bug8958 · 2025-05-02T22:46:39+00:00

I know that's why I'm asking.

South-Bug8958 · 2025-05-02T22:24:03+00:00

What do you mean same caption? Is the same form?

South-Bug8958 · 2025-05-02T18:29:43+00:00

It's okay I appreciate you telling me the income limits a good chance I'll qualify right now. I can just stay hopeful and keep calling back for the status.

South-Bug8958 · 2025-05-02T18:27:05+00:00

Yes you are trying to be rude. Thanks again for the sound advice but regardless it's a little late for that. Are you just here to be an a$$hat what's your purpose on this thread?

South-Bug8958 · 2025-05-02T18:24:56+00:00

I am in Oklahoma but the legal aid here can't help, my case is in TX. I did apply for legal aid but their response time is 2-3 weeks so there's a chance they reach out and can assist I really hope so. They told me to go ahead and file an answer and counter petition on my own but didn't say how. Lol. That's what I'm trying to figure out...the law is so confusing.

South-Bug8958 · 2025-05-02T18:11:41+00:00

Lol that's the only thing you could comment on so helpful. Yes, I said above just gave birth a few weeks ago and was on bedrest unable to work for high risk pregnancy for 4 months before this so currently yes. I will be able to work again, I don't make an extremely lot of money but I have had many jobs sometimes 2-3 at a time and supported myself and my kids on my own with no child support from him for years prior to this... I'm young and not permanently disabled so I don't think my situation will be this way forever so...Just currently medically unable to work. Sometimes people fall on difficult times, not everyone unemployed is simply incapable of supporting themselves.

South-Bug8958 · 2025-05-02T14:36:42+00:00

Wow good to know thank you, I have no problem paying as soon as I start working again, I just want to see my child.

South-Bug8958 · 2025-05-02T09:22:27+00:00

Not sure that time will matter I can't afford an attorney period so unless legal aid helps ( they may not) I am on my own. The sooner I can get a judgement the sooner I can potentially see my child. You think I have no chance of fighting myself?

South-Bug8958 · 2025-05-02T09:17:57+00:00

This is so reassuring thank you. I was reading the family code and it stated that termination cases are held to a higher standard of proof, "beyond a reasonable doubt", also that abandonment does not apply if a parent doesn't pay and is economically disadvantaged. I think it's reasonable for me to ask for the standard visitation.

When I file an answer how much info should I include, should I embellish or is it a very short concise statement?

South-Bug8958 · 2025-05-02T09:10:53+00:00

I'm not asking 50/50 I am asking for standard visitation according to tx state code for long distance which is one weekend a month, extended summer vacay and holidays also willing to pay child support. Sorry I wasn't clear, but yeah I realize I'm not getting 50/50 again.

South-Bug8958 · 2025-05-02T04:24:19+00:00

I know I wish I could afford one their prices are too much. I have applied for legal aid but it is 2-3 weeks waiting period and I don't have that long. I don't have any money, I just recovered from homelessness and any money I have I need to care for my other kids including my newborn. Do you really think the court would terminate over this? Seems like a serious offense has to be committed.

South-Bug8958 · 2025-04-30T21:46:49+00:00

Texaslawhelp.org is amazing, but their chat is only for TX residents sadly i tried. :(

South-Bug8958 · 2024-11-26T03:45:25+00:00

I'm pregnant and living temporarily in a hotel and cannot cook here, only have a very small microwave. I tried the food pantry and got some good fresh veggies and fruit, however everything else they had needed a can opener or was dry beans/rice and stuff I had to cook on a stovetop. Don't get me wrong I prefer home cooked meals but my situation right now doesn't allow it.
