I am raising a baby by myself and I am doing the best I can but it's not good enough

Help my boy started this conversation
Aug 9, 2005

I am a 21 year old mother with a 6 month old boy, I am currently working a full time job making $250.00, paying $100.00 a week for his daycare, (I make $150.00 a week after that) I am exhausted. I am seeking a place to live but I have bad credit and no money to even put done for the deposit!! I am desperate for help! I was recieving medicaid. foodstamps and cash assistance and that helped tremendously but now that I am working I do not recieve any of it anymore. PLEASE HELP! and if you can't help then please at least tell me what I can do to get some kind of help I don't care what kind anything!!

 

 

Thank you

I am a single mother of three working a parttime job.I get foodstamps,no cash assitance,I am trying to start my own business.My rent is getting past due I am on the my way to getting evicted.I am trying my best to stay strong and hang in there but bills keep on come in  and I am getting behind on my bills.I am getting wage garnishment out of my check so it making it hard for me  to keep up with my bills and rent.I have tried cash advance but everytime I fill out the application process I get lenders and then I have to fill out more applications.And it is nerve rakening.I don't have a car,I coulding get a bus pass for this month because I had to make sure my kids had a roof over there heads.Next Month I am not going to get my foodstamps because I can't make my redetermination appointment. And how am I suppose to feed three kids pay rent,pay my bills to on a parttime salary.

I am a mother of two. I have my own business and work so much to make money. I understand your situation and I feel proud of you because you decided to go back to work ... now you have to enjoy that freedom and get ideas of businesses that you can start at your home without sacrificing your children. I started my business at home through the internet then the business turned good and I decided to rent an office space... Now I purchased my office building. WORK WORK WORK
