I was recently laid off, and made a huge mistake in our checking acct. we are $634 overdrawn. I go back to work next week but we are broke as can be and I have a 6mo. old daughter. Don't have any family or friends that can help either.Need some advice please.

You need to apply for welfare..if you live in the US, you could apply for WIC, you get free formula, milk, eggs, and juice. Don't be ashamed to ask for help, research the types of things that could help you online. Until then you'll have to deal with not having any money, maybe you could get an advance from your boss, or from a loan office, that way your daughter doesn't go hungry. If it seems that there is never enough money then you should definitely apply for WIC or an equivalent to that in your area.

See if you can get day work. eg. elderly neighborlady pays you to clean up her yard, mowing the lawn, washing her car. Check local construction companies to see if they need day laborors. Lots of places will pay for this work at the end of the day, so you will have a bit of cash to carry you for the next couple of days. Take a second job of a few months until you get yourself back on your feet. Good luck, kiss your baby and partner for me

call you bank - maybe there is something they can do for you - explain your situation. if you have a credit card, you can always get a cash advance. and, with a credit card, you can always charge food and prescriptions for your baby. also, go to your local Church, they always have food pantries - where you can get the food you need; and, perhaps, they can give you a few dollars to hold you until you start work, letting them know that you will try to pay them back in any way that you can. good luck.

call your village or local church and ask about food donations. all the rest can wait. just call and explain that you'll pay as soon as you can. good luck
