Can i use bank statements as proof of support? cause thats the only thing i got, each month i give my sister 300+ for her and her kids, i never save any receipts

yes i also buy them food and snacks here and there, toys and clothes when i go shopping but i never kept any receipts i didnt think i needed them and only i can probably get are those bank statements showing me sending her money each month beside that i can't prove anything, since the bills are in her name and other peoples names, thanks for ya help.

It depends. If your bank statements show payments that can be definitely identified as going to your sister, they can establish that you paid her, but it won't necessarily prove that you paid more than half of her support.
