I’m a mother of 3, lost my job, home had bedbugs and we’re currently living in a motel. I just got another job as a Tax Preparer but it doesn’t start until the end of December. I plan to attend school but classes doesn’t start until January. I need assistance in getting a stable home for my family. Staying in this motel I am not able to save any money. If I can come up the with enough money to get out of here I will be able to survive. Right now it’s a struggle because there’s days I don’t know where anything is coming from. I’m praying that God sends me an Angel to help. I’m tired of living like this. I hoping I’ll have a breakthrough soon. Someone Please Help.

I recently got brave enough to leave my ex who was very abusive but now were living with friends and i just started school trying to make something of my life for my kids but with being pregnant and taking care of a very active 1 year old and worrying about where were going to lay our heads down at night. his uncle offered me one of his rental houses but he wants a deposit and first months rent and i can barely get diapers now. im looking for some help asap please
My name is Brooke and I am a single 21 yr old with a 4 year old daughter. I cant afford childcare for my daughter and can barely make rent. I would also love to go back to school. Please help, what you can you do for us?
why not try to get on housing. apply for federal aid to get help with school. get a job to help with childcare or another single parent.
Well I know this sounds bad and I never thought I would do it, but I was also homeless, without a job or car and I found a temporary way to make it for me n my babies. U may feel sick n grossed out but I just closed my eyes n pretended it was a nightmare. I got money by being with men. I now have an apartment, car and part time job. I can always work on my self esteem later but at least my kids are safe. God Bless.
