Update? How are things?

How're things holding up?

Donate plasma (it's part of your blood). They pay you for it and supposedly it is not too bad for your health.

Others here have already offered good advice, and I suggest you take it - especially Warnos44 and baneofretail - but I wanted to add a few things.

one other breadwinner is up and running fine still, but they'll be overtaxed most likely and will need some help for a bit.

Being overtaxed at work means that they won't have the energy or stamina to do much around the house. Do what you can to keep things going - take out garbage, prepare meals, clean up, etc. This will be a much bigger help than you could possibly expect! Help them focus on breadwinning, and they'll be able to sustain things much longer.

While it's not a bad idea to try breadwinning yourself - mowing lawns, waiting tables, whatever's appropriate and available for child tier work in your area - you'll never be making as much per hour of work than your primary breadwinners. Instead, look for things more valuable than an hour of pay. Help breadwinner #1 recover, make sure he's not trying to get up and do work before he should.

In my area, most local churches have food pantries. If not, check out the hispanic/asian food stores for good deals on staple foods. You'd be amazed at how far $5 of rice and dry beans can go! Throw in some sausage and canned tomatoes, you've got something tasty and nourishing for very little.

Be like a nig and axe for gibs.

I don't know how old you are or your abilities. Home repair and plumbing is something you should only help with until you're fairly confident. A bad repair can cost much more. I'm assuming you're too young to get a real job, and that means you'll have to go around and offer to do odd jobs for money (not by holding up a cardboard sign) such as yard work. Think about things people around you want, that you can provide at a profit. Think about what you're good at, so good you can charge to do it. And be willing to work and work hard.

cracked his back and some ribs, and can barely walk, and likely cannot go to work for a while.

Torso bone injuries will limit all movement greatly. First hand experience. Except him to be very limited for a minimum of 1 month, and more likely 2 months before his movement is close to normal. 3 months before he can get back to full speed.

As others have mentioned, yard work is good work for young adults. Especially if your family owns the equipment, and a means to transport it to work site's. A clean-up/helper at your pops workplace is nice idea. Are you in an urban, or rural area? And do you have transportation, either on your own, by other, or public transportation available?

Find ways to completely eliminate eating out. Get your meats on clearance, crock pot cook and freeze to keep from spoiling, then add to recipes during the week. Do a lot of rice/potato/home made bread for filling side items. You can save an enormous amount of money by planning meals and never eating out. Drink water only, no more sugar drinks. Consider growing some greens for salads since they're so pricey. Also tomatoes, cucumbers. You can container grow these.

Turn the thermostat to super energy savings. Wear more clothes to stay warmer.

The best paying job for young people , hands down, is waiting tables in a moderately nice restaurant that sells alcohol. You'll need to be good, though, unless you're physically attractive. People will still leave good tips if you're hot.

Yard work for people is great, you get paid cash, no taxation. I know it's not grass cutting time but it's not far away, well depending on where you live. But my area cost $80 for a small front/back yard to be cut and weed eat.

Good luck!

i would pray first, because i believe in it Then i would : Ask for work Collect cans Take things to the pawn shop if they cant be used to make money or u dont mind going without, like jewelry or video games. Try to capitalize on your talents. I made 40 bucks one time cooking a meal for someone. I make really awesome food. Know someone who builds doghouses for extra money. Those are the first things that come to mind.

Sell his pain killers haha make sure to sell it to some white goy!! shaloms

You mean you havent been making money shilling on voat? Sell your account.

Sell him into slavery.

Are you in school full time and are you at least the age of majority?

Five bucks to suck.

Depends who you are in this relationship. Are you a child of the breadwinner? A spouse?

First things first, they should file for disability. They paid taxes for it and deserve to take it when needed. This will only pay about 60% of your reported income, for a period of time. Hit up the food banks, churches, and apply for utility assistance to help cover the rest.

Go watch youtube videos how to turn unused household items/garage sale finds/thrift store things online when not shadowing other breadwinner.

Shadow remaining breadwinner. He may say clean this, dig that, fetch this just DO IT. There is a reason why this must be done. Once you learn the how and why the next breadwinner may be you. Don't talk back and make yourself a tool. A good tool is worth its weight in gold.
