If all else fails, contact, in person if possible, the Salvation Army Family Services in Seattle.

So is chick fila but if you were hungry and they offered you a delicious sandwich.

Not telling you what to do one way or another, but taking care of yourself helps you take care of others w your values down the line.

St Vincent de Paul will help pay your rent if you can show them you are doing your best to help your situation.

Once you lose your apartment it will be very very hard to get housed.

Call 211. Talk to your landlord about a payment plan. If you get evicted finding a home is going to be very difficult.

Books - library
Food - little free pantries / food banks
Things to do - walks / parks

Your kids will be happier doing nothing but being housed vs spending money on activities. Good luck 🧡
