I am a single mom struggling to make it on my own with two little boys.  My boys are 4 1/2 & 8.  I work full time, have always worked hard to take care of my responsibilities.  I have never used any government agency to help me, because I don't want to feel like I have to depend on them, and they have so much stuff you have to do to get any help it's a little ridiculous, when 3/4 of my time is spent at work or in traffic.  I am 29 years old and live in the Dallas area.  I have been a victim in the past of domestic abuse...and got out of that relationship as soon as I could.  I have been through a lot, my mom died a couple of years ago, and now I have no family in state, no one to help with the boys, it's very hard.

I am a single mom much in need of help.  I have two young boys and am struggling to make ends meet.  I have no cable/internet/home phone or cell phone right now.  My only form of communication is the internet when I am at work.  My email address is dallas2hot@yahoo.com.  I work a full time job, am a normal, honest person with good morals and values.  My two boys are 4 1/2 & 8.  I hardly have enough money to get groceries or to pay the electricity/rent.  I do have a good vehicle that is paid for....due to very hard work.  I feel like I am doing everything I can for my family and it's still not enough.  I am not receiving any help from any agency/government/state program(s) and am not receiving child support for either of my kids right now either.  One's dad was abusive and has fled the state.  I have hired Support Kids to find him and pursue him for the money owed to me, but they say they have exhausted all efforts in finding him as well since he hides out, and gets jobs that pay cash under the table.  The other boys dad lives with his mom, is a loser, and will probably always be a loser, and when we were together, he expected me to support him.  I left him when I was two months pregnant.  My mom died a couple of years ago, and so now I have no family in state, no one to help watch the kids, or anything.  If anyone has any help they can offer, or any suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated.  Right now, my son starts school on Monday, and I have no money to get him school supplies or new shoes.

Thanks,
