Wanting to open a daycare facility

I have ran a very productive in home daycare for the last 6 years and currently have a growing waiting list to get into my home daycare.  I would like to purchase an existing home and make it into a small daycare facility that offers preschool, and care open to all shifts and open Monday thru Saturday.  If anyone could help me find what I can do to get help starting this up please email me or comment to this.  Thanks!!

Need help with paying utilities, food and mortgage
I am a single mother of 5 boys, ages 14, 10, 32 months, and twins that are 23 months.  I am recently separated and have gotten myself into tremendous financial stress.  I can't make my mortgage payment, have almost $2,500 in utility bills that I can't make and am desperately seeking some resources that might be able to help me.  If anybody knows where I might be able to get some assistance, I would appreciate any information.  I do work full time, am looking for a part time job, and am willing to do whatever it takes to keep my family afloat, so long as it is ethical and legal. 
Recent single father not making living expenses

In the last six months, I have found myself consumed in debt due to daycare and living expenses for my 20 month old son Ayden and myself.  You see, the Court of Colorado has granted me full custodial rights for my son, Ayden and he will probabily never see any child support in his lifetime.  I have recently moved to Denver from Dallas for my job and I have no immediate relatives that live close to me.  So it is just Ayden and myself.  My salary was enough to get me by before, but now I am loosing at least  a $1500.00 a month.  I am presently looking for a new job with a higher income and am working on finding cheaper living arrangements.

Because of some financial obligations, I had to charge  thousands of dollars on my credit card.  In addition, due to my bills exceeding my budget by a thousand a month....lets just say my credit score and my credit history is going to go from very good to poor overnight if I don't get help with daycare right away.  I don't want to claim bankrupcy because I still will not be within my budget.

I am very scared and worried that my son will loose out on a lot in life if I can't a helping hand.  I am willing to pay back any help that comes to me from anyone.  Please help us.  God Bless...

Grants

 

I am a single mother of 3 young children. I need money for basic everyday living necessities. I work fulltime and can't pay my bills and be able to further my education to be able to support my family.

My car needs 1,400 dollars worth of work and I still owe 4 years
My car recently broke down and I still owe 7,000 dollars worth of payments on it. I am always prepared with a saving's for emergency's but not $1,400 dollars worth. I dont know what to do. I don't have family or friends that have money like this to lend. I can't get to work,(I have to drive daycare kids to their busses) I am begging people to take my kids to school and drop them off. I live in a walking district and my son is only 5, we live on the other side of town, as far as you could possibly get from school.


I don't know how this works or what to expect from people but I was frantic and typing in loans and what not and this just sort of fell into my lap. So I figured what the heck.  I am a full-time student and work 45+ hours a week. I get by just fine, I am not greedy and I could care less about most of the material things other people want. I am a cowgirl at heart. I just need a little help to get by this year and I dont have anyone to do that.

Thanks for taking the time to read about my problem.

I just have always been employed it's just not enough. i just moved out of state and the job i started did not even pay enough for daycare and i got behind. I just started a new job that pays decent but the way the pay period is i have to wait three weeks to get my first check. For the first time in my life i broke down and borrowed money for rent. evrything else is falling behind and getting cancelled/turned off. i had a friend call out of work to watch my daughter but i go back in tomorow and don't have a sitter. i wont even have gas money to keep this job. i am really trying hard and things will be o.k in a few paychecks but untill then i don't know what to do.

Hardwork just is paying off...

I am not sure how this works, or really what this is. All i know is I need help. I am sitting at my computer right now falling apart. I love my son more than life itself and I work hard everyday to provide. He is seven months old, his name is quentin and he is the best baby ever, he is just a little doll. I pay over $800.00 for daycare a month, $300-400 for his needs. This is leaving me with little to live, I had to move from my apt. back in with my surrogate parents, who are growing frustrated with the situation. i want to leave, I want to pay my bills and mostly I want my son to have a stable enviroment but I cant seem to make it happen no matter what I do. I am asking for anything that will help even advise at this point. Peace, love and faith. Jessica a28entertainmentco@yahoo.com 7203357273.

I am finally at my breaking point.  My family is at our breaking point.  This past year and few months I have been so ill that I cant hold a job to help out my family.  What was supposed the be the happiest time of our lives ended up being the scariest and biggest test we have ever faced. 
My husband and I decided to start our family after being married for a little while.  I had a good job and he does too.  We were ready!  After a perfect pregnancy it starting to go down hill.  Starting with a forty-nine hour labor followed by a seizure and emergency c-section.  I don't even remember our son being born.  Still we were happy because our son is perfect.  Two weeks later I found myself in the hospital with massive blood clots in my lungs.  During my two month stay at the hospital I developed DVT's, clots in my legs. 
I now give myself two shots a day.  And because of all of the health problems I can't keep a job.  My shots alone are a hundred dollars a piece.  I have lost my insurance and have to be on them to live.  I clot on the medicine that most people can use, coumadin.  The only choice I have is Lovenox shots because I am allergic to aspirin.  The pharmacy company has it to were you cant get generic. 
We have used up all of our savings.  Our family cant help us, the economy is to down right now.  We cant ask our struggling parents for help they cant give.  Because of all of my medical bills and having to go into the hospital for treatment, because we cant afford the shots, our credit has gone down the tubes.  We cant even get pay advances.  I couldn't anyways, because I was fired for missing to much work while I was hospitalized last time.  How can you get fired when you are in ICU?  I cant understand it.  We are now getting our electricity shut of on the 25th if we cant pay our bill.  We will be evicted by then beginning of next month if we cant come up with rent, and I am down to my last ten shots. 
Our son is now sixteen months old and is thriving.  I just wish we could give him everything he needs.  He is running out of clothes because he is growing so fast.  He goes through milk like it is the best thing in the world.  We cant afford the daycare we need so I can get another job right now.  My husband is looking for a second job, but not to many people are hiring right now. 
We have no where else to turn.  If you can give a little, or a lot we appreciate it all!  Even if it is clothes for our son!  We will accept any graciousness you are willing to give.  In return we can give you a receipt for your taxes.  We will even take prayers.  God Bless!!!

I am a single mother of a 2 year old little boy.  I am attending college getting ready to begin the nursing program in August 2008.  My son has been staying with my mother for the past year while I've been in school.  Due to the longer hours I will be in class and clinicals my mother is no longer able to help me out.  I have tried through social services to get help with daycare but because I do not work they said they couldn't help me.  I want my son to be in a good daycare where he can learn.  I just need a little help money wise.  If anyone out there can help me I would be very much appreciative.  My son's father pays child support but daycare was not factored into it and according to child support needing daycare is not enough to warrant a child support review.  My son's father will not willingly help out so that I can better myself.  My email address is apatrick15@yahoo.com if anyone needs to know any further information.  I know there's a lot of good people in this world who are looking to help others like me out.  I'm on a great road in life but my money situation is unfortunately too tight to afford the daycare I need for my son.  Thank you.

Me and my husband are both working very hard- he works during the day and i work three nights a week and we have two little girls, ages 2 and 9 months. We still cant pay our bills. So I am looking for a full time job but day care is so expensive that in the end i wouldnt be making much because of daycare bills! So I am asking for help with two things- first a job that pays $10+/hour in the north texas area or leads to such a job, and information/leads on affordable childcare/childcare financial assistance in north texas. oh and lots of PRAYERS!

THANKS and God Bless!
