PROM CLOTHES!

HELP YOUR TEEN HAVE A GREAT DAY !

Being a single parent is especially hard at prom time. When my daughter graduated , there was a dress , transportation issues ( we didn't have a car) , flowers , restaurant  bill , and more. Guess what ? No money . A very special person payed for some of this . The dress we got was from a church 'prom program'. They had a special closet with dresses , and we picked one for free !   Following is a link to more programs like the one that helped us. Thank you for yet another GREAT link Elaine from TSA ! ! ! ( PS They have tuxedos too.)

Ok so I'm feeling a bit desperate so I'm hoping this will be of some help. I am feeling financially freaked out. I have a 9 month old son and my bills are getting out of hand. I'm so broke right now that it's ridiculous. I have just tried selling my clothes and had to gether all the change i could find to put in my bank account just so i wont go overdrawn. My son had surgery last thursday and i ended up having to take that whole week off to take care of him. I need help. Groceries, help paying bills, gas, diapers... whatever, anything helps, i dont mean to sound like im begging.
