I get no help from the government and I most recently lost my job because they wanted me to work on christmas and nobody will babysit on christmas.and i dont get child support as my ex husband is in prison. I have bad credit from him(my ex) running up bills in my name and refusing to pay them , and i dont know how i am going to make it , my rent is $950.00 plus everything.My kids are 7,5&4.I want to enroll in school but i dont know how i can pay the bills while i am in there. I have to find some kind of source that would assist me with living expenses while in school , it is only a nine month course for surgical technician! Does anyone have suggestions ,or know of any additional grants, or programs i may me elligable for to help me for the time i would be in school ?

About mother*of*3*Angels


I am single mother of 3 who is struggling to make ends meet , seems like everything is a catch 22 , I cant find a decent job because I dont have a car,cant work nights or weekends b'cuz of childcare, cant even get to the grocery store sometimes. I get food stamps and medicaid, and I collect unemployment which is only $660. a month, My rent is $950. and then there is that big ole' gas and electric bill. I am 1 1/2 months benhind in my rent and am about to get evivted , i contacted social services to try to get temporary rental assistance , but they say i dont qualify for it because I dont collect welfare cash assistance, I dont qualify for that because I collect unemployment, and that dont cover my rent , I have also contacted the Homeless Prevention Program in my county but they say they cant help me either because they are a temporary assistance for people who will be able to pay the rent after they pay the back rent and if i cant prove that i can then i just dont qualify! I dont get child support as my ex husband is in prison for 30 years for raping an 11yr old girl(after we seperated). I have bad credit from him(my ex) running up bills in my name and refusing to pay them , and i dont know What to do! I am starting a training program on friday 5/2 that only lasts for 2 weeks for certified home health aide.My kids are 7,5&4. Does anyone have suggestions ,or know of any programs i may be elligable for to help me?
We are losing everything. I need help

I am a single mother of three children. In April I found out that I needed surgery to remove my uterus because sists keep developing. When I informed my boss on the 12th he fired me on the 16th. I was told that even though I put in over 1250 hours since I was only employed for 10 months that it was not pursueable in court. They offered no form of severence pay and did not pay me for hours due to me. After that I had to have surgury to remove my uterus. Due to the pain medications I had complications. I have sinced healed from the surgery to find no job. I have been looking for months to find a new job and for whatever reason I have not yet found one. I have since been selling all of our family items so that we have a home to live in. A couple of weeks ago on our way home from the doctors office my only vehicle broke down and they said that the engine is blown so I would have to replace the engine. We have been stuck at home for weeks now with no way to get to any store to buy groceries or to get my son's medicine. My son suffers from extreme ADHD and a sleeping disorder to which he has to take medicine for his symptoms. We are now out of medicine with no way to get to the pharmacy. Throughout this time, my son's father has been hospitalized for his liver shutting down, and we have no way to get my son to the hospital to see his father.

I have prayed everyday for something to go our way. But everyday something else happens. I need help severely all of our utilities are about to be shut off and I fear that we are going to lose our home. I usually do not like to ask anyone for help but I have no where else to turn,  we need help.

not working-stay at home mom

Hi, I am a 20 year old single mom whos trying to go to school but can't afford it or the day care, who's in debt with medical bills and who doesn't have a car to get my kids to the doctors in case of an emergency. I am staying with my cousin trying to find a way to be able to support my own 2 children. My son is 18 months and my daughter is 6 months old.  My cousin is supporting me for now until I get assistance. I hate depending on other people especially when they are the ones feeding my kids. It should be me! I'm their mother. I appreciate her help so much!! She's great but she herself is a single mom with two daughters and is working and getting her masters. She's my hero and I can't wait until I can work and go to school. I was feeling sorry for myself and my situation which is totally selfish of me knowing that there are people out there who are in far worse situations then mine when I decided to do something about my situation. I was looking for scholarships for single moms when this site popped up. I looked at it and I became worried and sad for all of those women who dont have anyone to help them. I am very fortuanate in that way! :) I am applying for assistance from the state and I am sure I will get approved and everything will work out. Can't the homeless do it to so they wont be in the situation that they are in? I always wondered about that.  Anyway all I wanted to say was that this site really let me see how fortunate I really am and my heart goes out to all of those who are really in a tough situation! I'll be praying for everyone!

Knocked Up

Hi, I'm here like everyone else, in need. I found this web site searching on google for financial aid for pregnant women. I thought this was a good idea at first but now, while writing this ad for help I feel foolish and maybe a little ashamed. Um, I'm pregnant, I'm 36 years old, the father of the child doesn't want anything to do with the baby.

I currently have no job or car. I'm not as bad off as it may sound or I may feel. I had a job lined up at an airline, I was going to be a  ramp agent, they were ready to drug test me and enroll me in thier class but now that I am pregnant I cannot take that job. I currently live with my Aunt, she lives in a 55+ community, I technically don't live here and after the baby is born, I really can't live here and have no other family members I can stay with.

I don't want a free ride, I'm not expecting someone here to send me loads of cash. If there really are wealthy people on this site looking for people to help, I guess I would ask for a car. Not a BMW or anything, a Subaru Justy or Ford Aspire would be great! If anyone has a car they are not really using and would like to donate it, I would be so appreciative. Um, I am in need of maternity wear, I don't need an entire wardrobe  just a pair or two of jeans and maybe a top. I don't want to ask for baby furniture because I really don't have a place to put it.

A job, I'v lived with my Aunt since the end of August. I have been doing volunteer work(thats where I met the fahter of the baby) and I have been doing background work as an extra and doing odd and end jobs for a casting co. doing office work and recruiting. If there is a person or family out there that lives in California, Nevada, Washington state or Arizona and would like a Personal Assistant/light house keeper/nanny. I am not only very capable and dependable but would be very open to that arrangement. I've been casually looking for Live-in Personal Assistant jobs for the last few months but now that I know I'm pregnant, I didn't know if a family out there would want someone who is going to give birth in seven months. I do not use drugs, I never have, I do not smoke (anything) I have no pets. I have a excellent driving record and can pass a criminal background report.

If you've even read this far, thank you. I'm sure there is a women on here with six kids, pregnant, no husband and no car. Surely she would need one more than me. I'm not here to compete. All, if any help I recieve from this ad will be what was meant to be.
