Talk to the counselor or principal at the schools. The PTA may have a clothing bank or other resources to help you.

We have a mailbox address – 899 S College Mall Rd, #244, Bloomington IN 47401. My oldest is in Juniors size 5, my middle daughter is just moving out of kids and into the smallest junior size, my youngest daughter wears size 8 and her brother is in size 6 (he is very tiny). School starts on Monday and the kids are looking forward to it although with some trepidation. Thanks for shopping Amazon through the blog! If so inclined check out our wish list there

I don’t think there are more jobs – probably fewer. I guess the thing we have going for us is that I don’t have to worry about paying rent while I job hunt. I am applying to be a substitute teacher but it’s a process of four or five steps. I got the background check done (no records and now need to schedule an interview, then take a test and get a permit…

This sounds like a much more workable plan than before. I hope and pray you find a job soon. Can you tell yet if there are more jobs available where you are as opposed to California? I know here in Texas they are always needing substitute teachers. Hopefully that will work out until you find something permanent. Many blessings!

Thanks for the reminder; I have an Amazon cart filled up and while it certainly won’t make a big dent (bump?) in your resources, I’m happy of course to click through (and too often forget to do so).

I wonder whether if you’d post sizes and lists folks might send you winter clothes’ for your kids (or whether that might be too much trouble to sort — plus, of course, you’d need a safe way to provide an address, maybe a PO box, but I know … those cost money). I’m pretty sure my son is smaller than even your littlest one, but there must be folks out here with clothes in good shape they’d be happy to pass along (or maybe easier/better just to put out word at e.g. your church to the same effect?).

I hope your kids like their new schools; they’ve certainly been negotiating big transitions this summer.
