I don't know what is supposed to go here!

I'm a working single mom in need of some help.

I'm a single mom of two boys who are 5 and 2.  I work full time as a marketing assistant but recieve no child support from their father.  I recently had to move out of my two bedroom apartment into my sister's one bedroom apartment.  Even though I no longer have to pay rent, I've gotten so far behind on bills that it's looking near impossible to get on my feet again any time soon.  I'm not looking for a hand out just a lift up.  I work very hard to take care of my boys.  Things have become so difficult lately that I'm having a hard time putting gas in my car and buying groceries.

I graduated with my Associates Degree in Political Science and want to continue schooling as soon as I have my financial situation back under control.  I hope that someone out there will appreciate my efforts and hard work.

Thank you so much for your consideration and time.

I am a 40 year old single mother of two girls.  I have been working very hard to pay off bills and get through school since I got divorced.  I am working two jobs and trying to finish school on-line (that is all I have time for).  My ex is not paying the bills he was supposed to pay and now I have more bills then ever.  I make less then $20,000 a year and am trying desperately to pay things off and still feed my kids.  I really need some help.  I have tried the government agencies and according to them I make too much (now that is a joke).  I don't go out, I don't drink or do drugs....I just want to be able to get a better job and finish school.  Then I can get my ex to stop trying to put things in my name....maybe I will be able to afford the attorney to get him to stop.

Hard Times

  Right now I really need help with making ends meet. I'm struggling financially to get back on my feet after being out of work for awhile due to medical reasons. I also gained quite a bit of weight and I cannot afford to buy clothes that fit me now. I am not above the thrift stores, but when you are the size I am now, it's hard to find anything. I am needing to get some basic items of clothing that I can mix and match. I am wearing a size 28 or 3X in most cases, sometimes more like a 30 or 4X is appropriate. I finally went to a store called ROSS and thought my prayers were answered, but all the items I tried on there in my size, just didn't fit. In my local area, I have found a store called Catherines, which is very nice and high quality, but quite expensive for my current situation. I find that the catalog shopping through Lane Bryant, Sears, Just My Size and a few others, are more affordable, but it requires a waiting period too.

 

I am able now to get back to work, in a call center type situation, but I do not have the clothing required for their business casual dress code. This is so hard for me because I gained alot of weight over a very short period of time and suffered a great deal of mental cognition, memory, and speech problems...not to mention being extremely tired, before being properly diagnosed. I am still not completely well, but feel so much better than I have in ages! I just feel so "stuck" because I am ready to get my life back and bring some form of normalcy back to my children's lives, but I am having such a hard time making things happen. Nothing is falling into place because I am sooo broke and I don't receive the children's child support money like we should all the time, so it is really hard. I've had to go to a clothes closet through the church to get my children their clothes, but it's so hard to find anything in my size, anywhere! It's becoming humiliating and embarrassing for me. It's so discouraging I just cry sometimes.

 

If there is anything you can do to help, either through funds or maybe you have some clothing to spare in the size I need? I would be so thankful and when I get back to work and on my feet again, which I hope will be soon, I can pay it forward to someone else. Please help me if you can.

 

Thanks again,

Debbie

Bottom line is I need to come up with 15000.00 or my house is gone. I am not only raising my two kids, but 3 neices and nephews whose mom was in prison and now in a halfway house. We have nowhere to go and no one to turn to. I have some family with money but they will not help me, they just tell me a house is just a house and I will find something. I work, so don't get me wrong, it might take forever to pay this back but I will. I was only making $10 an hour, after getting laid off and no unemployment because I quit my job for one closer to home, never dreaming I would get laid off. I now make more but the home co won't work with me. I lose my home in two days. please help us. I will make payments or do whatever needs to be done. YOu can contact me at work at 303-423-8872, or my mail is at a PO box which is 745774 Arvada Co 80006 (I had to get a po box cause this mom was stealing my mail - the three little ones mom) I live at 5030 W. 70 th Place Westminster Colorado if you want to really see if my house is in foreclosre.

Support Your Local Single Mother, spend more time with her Child! I am a single Mother, I work full-time, and live paycheck to paycheck. I miss my son everyday, and it hurts me so much to leave him at a questionable babysitter everyday because that's all I can afford, he's such a smart boy, and I know he deserves more right now, WHen I see him after work he is stressed out, and he's mad at me, for not being with him. I belive in staying home with your children, and I am in great pain to have to leave him, I am missing out on the best years of his life, working my but off behind a desk, underpaid, I went to school for what I'm doing now, yet I don't have anything. I want to go back to school. I want a higher education,than a A.S. Degree. I want to be able to be with my son more, and only have to put him in daycare for 15-20 hours a week instead of 50 I belive this is so so important, he needs to be with his mother, his family, To grow up with lots of love, guidance and someone who cares that he knows his ABC's, and his manners, etc. I want to go to school to get a better higher paying job, to do better for us amy_will_design@yahoo.com

A small favor that will mean the WORLD!!!!!

I am in need of someone to write a Research proposal for my Research 1 class. I am a sophmore in college majoring in psychology. This semester has been overwhelming. I found out that I have cervical cancer. I am supposed to only have 1 semester left. I need to do this for my kids. My course load is overwhelming and finals are coming up. I already had to drop my algebra class. I am a single mom working and going to school. I have 3 large papers due. This one is really stressing me out. I need a 15-25 page research proposal in APA format. I must have 10 sources. My topic is on proactive interference. I need to set up an experiment using student resouces that I can carry out in research two. I need to write about how I will carry this out and what I expect the results to be. College means everything to me. (Besides my babies) If anyone out there especially psychology majors could write this for me and e-mail it to mommyofchassidy@yahoo.com by December 8 I would be eternally greatful. I am not trying to cop out of it, I am so overwhelmed and just need help this once. It would make a HUGE difference in my life and the lifes of my kids. I can't afford to pay much but if you are willing to help, we could work out something. Thank you and God bless.
