scared and worried

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...

We need help desperately

We live in Orlando Florida. We have two young children. My husband has a heart condition and was very ill at the beginning of the year.  Our 14 year old son had a very serious accident on ATV back on March 25th 2006.  We almost lost him.  He now has seasures and a scar that goes from below his temple to the top of his head.  He had to have brain surgery to remove a silver dollar size clot from his brain.  I didn't even know he got on the thing.  He got on the back of it with a 18 year old who thought he was being big and bad by showing off and driving recklessly and litterly flipped my son off the back of it.  He landed on his head and if it wasn't for a fast thinking neighbor who was standing out in his driveway and caught the thing, my son would have been killed.

   My husband works at Disney and everything has gotten so expensive that we can't afford to pay our bills  right now with everything else.  He normally does alot of overtime to make up for what we are short, but with us being behind like this catching up is almost impossible without help.  We are about to loose our home.  I was working and advancing nicely in my job and then suddenly I lost it.  I wasn't able to get unemployment.  I was looking for a job immidately after I lost my job that I loved but no one was hiring.  And to make things worse about a month after I lost my job I found out I was two months pregnent.  I am now going on my 7th month.  We are now 2 months behind on our mortgage and about to be in the 3rd month.  We have tried everything to catch up.  If we just could we would be able to stay caught up.  Is there anyone out there willing to help?
