In July I went into the hospital, I was there for a month and while I was there I lost my house and everything that was in it. My 8 year old granddaughter stays with me. Now we have moved to an apartment. We have no beds, no couch, nothing; we are sleeping on the floor. I have gone to different organizations asking for help, but it seems like nobody wants to help. I will be able to go back to work next month. It's hard, struggling everyday, to make sure we eat. What do you suggest?

Have you tried your area Salvation Army? If not go to their office and tell them what you need and why and they will have you fill out paperwork, then they will give you a voucher to take to their thrift store, to get the furniture that you need, if they have it, it will be free.
That being said in most places where ever you get any free furniture, most likely you will be responsible for getting it to where you live. Most places they won't let you pick from their better quality furniture.
Also there is freecycle.org, and craigslist. But if you attend a church, talk to the pastor and maybe he knows somebody in the church that has some furniture sitting around that they would be willing to give you. Another thing, and you might have to do this one at a time, you could always get air mattresses and a couple in-expensive folding chairs, to get by.
You might get more help if you tell us the city and state you live in. Hang in there.
