I am a young single mother of a 4 and 5 yr old. I don't get any help from their dad, I haven't received child support in almost 2 yrs. I have been going through some very hard times. I was evicted last week and me and my kids are staying in a hotel. I lost my job and I wasn't able to pay the bills. Even when I had the job it was barely enough to pay bills. If it wasn't for food stamps I don't know what my kids would have eaten. It's always been very hard for me to get jobs and even when I get a job it's not enough to survive off of. I am all alone all I have is my children and I can't even afford to take care of them the way they need to be taken care of. Their dad isn't in their life in any way. I only have $40 to my name. I don't even know how I'm going to pay for the hotel next week. I am so desperate for any help that I can get.. even if it's 5 cents or 5 dollars it all adds up and it is greatly appreaciated. I am trying so hard to get my life together. I'm not a bad person, I've never done any drugs, and becides the financial part I think I am a great mother. I love my kids and I will do anything for them. I just wish I could take care of them finacially. I just started school the day after I was evicted. I am going to get my IT degree. I'm struggling cause I don't know how I'm going to pay for my kids childcare, and gas just to get to school. I also, have a part time job making $7.50hr working only 24hrs a week. That's not enough for the hotel room, daycare, and gas. I need to at least be able to afford all of those things. My car is paid for but I don't have any insurance, I drive back and forth everyday hoping that I don't get stopped because if I did I don't know what I would do. I have so many things that I want to accomplish in my life. I'm refuse to be broke and homeless forever, I have faith in God and I know things will get better. I just need a little help. Please help me and my kids if you can.
