I'm 18 & I'm 7 months pregnant, I live w/ my mom, 2 brothers, & my sister...the only one working is my sis, working at McDonalds only getting like $400, $500 a month if we are lucky, & we unfortunatley live in a small/crappy town w/ no opprotunity & no help & are struggling.  We have to pay outragious electric bills that are $300-$600 a month, which is so hard, especially when we don't have it...we have to scrape & scramble each month in fear that we will lose power, it's especially scary now, it being so hot...the thought of not having power, no way to escape this awful/deadly heat...it's especially hard on me, being pregnant...our ac is already out as it is, & I am sure I would have been dead by now if it wasn't for me having a fan to cool off a bit, which some days it doesn't do much, the heat is just so overwhelming.  Yea, our ac is also out, every 2 weeks we always have bills to pay, food to buy n stuff...we never have any money left over to take care of these problems.  Also, our truck, the only source of transportation is breaking down.  If we lose our truck, the thought of it is just too scary/frightening to think about...how my sis would lose her job, we wouldn't be able to buy food or anything...we would surley die off.  Also, my baby will be here in the next 2 months or so, & I barley have anything for him.  It is really depressing for me that I wont be able to have anything for my child, the way things look...I wont be able to get a car seat so I can take my baby home!  So as you can see, we are truly struggling, my dad left in September/October last year...& things have been down hill...awful ever since.  We have went weeks w/out power b4 cuz we couldn't pay the bill(thank God it was cooler then & it wasn't as rough, now losing power is life threatening), we go most weeks pratically starving(still now even, & it scares me cuz of my baby...not being able to give my baby what it needs to grow, I so so don't want to lose him).  So please, if anyone out there has a heart, compassion for a family who is indeed really strugling/needs help really bad...please, let me kno.  Any kind of money you can spare, baby stuff you can spare...please...PLEASE, help us! You can send me a message at wicked_monkey_jester1722@yahoo.com  God bless...

Hello, I was online @my parents house in search of any type of finacial help I couldd possibly get and came across this site. I am trying to do everything I can to get out of the situation I am in however I am getting no where. I was employeed and although I was struggling I was managing. However I am 22 weeks pregant and came into some complications with my pregnacy. My doctor took me off of work for a little over a week. I called my work after my doctor agreed to let me return however my work had decieded to terminate my employement, thier reasoning was job abandonment. However they would not hear my reasoning. I have applied to many jobs. any job is better than no job. But I have heard nothing back. This only leads me to believe it is b/c my pregancy is indeed showing now. I have applied for a medical card. However I am only allowed a temp card at the moment,which i have not yet seen. I cannot reapply for 2 months. I have a car, which I make 329.00 monthly payments. However my brakes went out and I cannot get them fixed b/c i have no income. Therefore leaving me unable to continue my job search,or aid in finacies.As well as doctors appointments and what not. I can not pay my car payment this month and i am behind 2 months already therefore my car is about to be repossesed. In addition to this the bed i sleep in is a rent-to-own bed(83.83 bi/weekly) and is due in a week. My rent is 395.00 a month and is also due in a week. My electric bill is 75.00 this month. I am paid up since last month, however it is due again soon. And I can not afford to do my laundry, buy groceries, prenatal vitims or any other prescriptions issued by my doctor. I am afraid of what is going to happen within the next week. I am losing everything I have. I dont know what to do. I need help! If anyone can help me i would extremely greatfuland try to repay them as soon as i was able. Or if anyoone has any ideas please let me know!
