I havent eaten anything but one small reduced portion of rice and noodles for the whole week

Cause PayPal and western Union do not give me the money they where supposed to

Im two of those reduced portions away from going hungry

I just want a nice warm meal honestly

And I hate that im even bringing this up, it feels icky to tell other what situation I am in

update: my gf whos in california on the other side of the world caught wind and just ordered me a big burger to ebb me over until the money arrives, man, shes the best

This is why food banks exist. It is okay to go there and ask for food. Look for one in your area

I don't know where you live, but you should feel NO shame for being hungry. If you're in the US, you can find food banks and meal programs here: https://www.feedingamerica.org/find-your-local-foodbank

Either im or other people are mistaking this question.

Does it not state us telling the problem and how people can help it directly?

Pointing to very obvious external services doesn't sound very much like the posed question.
