No help at all. Me and my girls will have to live on the streets
Do not feel bad. I live in shreveport la and every homeless shelter I called had no room for a mother and children. I called them all locally for 2 weeks. I was forced back into an abusive relationship just to survive. I had shattered my ankle and had to have surgery which is the cause for the mess I had to deal with. 211 basically told me my only option was to leave my daughter with her father whom I couldnt take out of the city due to joint custody with her father and move a minimum of 5hrs away just to go live in a homeless shelter. There is extremely limited help for single mothers in my area. Oh 211 told me if I had a drug addiction they could get myself and my son in somewhere. Unbeievable.
