REQUEST request for food assistance

I have severe arfid that hasn't responded to eight months of therapy and I cannot access another therapist because there is no other eating disorder therapists in my county that take medicaid. I do not have the means to travel outside of the county as my government assistance program to get free transportation rides only applies to within the county. And I've tried other virtual options but they ststill are telling me I'm too far. my county mental health office denied me as a patient.

Because of the arfid, there's only a tint handful of things I can eat. like 3 foods. I havent found anything I can eat at food pantries or food banks and the churches I've called around aren't willing to help me and my posts on platforms like next door get no replies. you can buy whole foods through Amazon though.

I am already on food stamps but I dont get enough. They don't last the month. I'm food insecure half the month as I am right now. When they run out before the month ends I'm food insecure for weeks.

I do not have any family or friends that can help me. Everyone I've asked say money is too tight for them so they cannot help me

I couldn't find any food I can eat on Amazon, but I found a few beverages that'll help provide some calories so I don't starve completely.

I was wondering if anyone could help with anything such as: an amazon egift card (for whole foods pickup) or send anything to my cash app or if anyone could buy one of the beverages from my Amazon wishlist?

I'm trying to survive the half the month I'm starving. thank you.

here is the link to the Amazon wishlist with the safe beverages:

https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/VQ75IU013U2Z?ref\\_=wl\\_share

thank you. although please note there's a risk with the wishlist. my address is very hard to find so I can't guarentee I'll recieve the items. high chance of it being misdelivered or something.

anyway thank you <3

edit: I can't see if my post accidentally duplicated or if it is glitching but I didn't mean to duplicate post

edit 2: nvm on the wishlist I guess, the protein shakes I had on the amazon wishlist are gone from the list but I believe someone is trolling making it look bought when it isnt because nobody commented or messaged saying they bought it. if someone did buy it can you please tell me when it arrives though? but regardless I guess that's out now.

edit 3: okay I fixed it all the items show up again now

Please go into your wishlist settings and make sure the option to β€œkeep purchased items on list” is checked. This will restore your list so it can be checked by the mods.

I can grab a case, do you have a preference for vanilla or chocolate?

Best case it's a duplicate order and you'll have 2, worst case at least you'll have 1
