<prompt> Human: For context, I am 15. My household consists of me, my mother, and my little sister. I am not sure if this is the right subreddit for this, but it was the first place I thought of. My dad owes 26K in child support so the only income we have is my mother I work but I dont make much. My mom makes just barely over the maximum income threshold to receive government assistance with food and daycare little sister because her job makers her work overtime. This is the only reason we cross the threshold. She has asked if she could not work OT and has explained the problem to her work but they refused. And now weve also lost help when it comes to school lunches so when summer is over thats going to be even more in bills. We cant even pay all of our bills at the moment. She doesnt know what to do and I dont either. Any help or tips are appreciated. Thank you. Sorry if this isnt the correct sub for this. Edit: there has been lots of requests for me to share my state and try to get some more information on my moms income and the bills etc etc. I will try to do that sometime soon. For the state, we live in Iowa. THANK YOU GUYS FOR THE HELP SO FARNot done reading comments and replying, replies just might be a bit more delayed as more and more comments come in.  <response>: I really dont have any advice to give but I just wanted to say for a 15 year old your carrying alot of weight on your shoulders and man Im damn sorry about that, but at the same time your a 15 year old kid who is going to school and working a part time job to help your family and I highly admire you for that. Keep up what your doing and keep a good attitude and youll go far in life.
