Hello, I feel so odd doing this, but I really would like some kind person to listen, advise of something maybe Ive not thought of.

I can validate and prove to anyone the following if neccesary. I am a single Mother of 3, I do have a job, I work 40+ hours a week (I make ok money). I had Breast Cancer (as I know many people do) last year (treatment started 10/02/06 & ended 07/05/07). In October of 2007 I went in for my follow up & “they” found a new lump on the other side; this really complicates things for me and my kids. You see (and this is legal) I was fired from my last job for not returning to work within 6weeks (I was hospitalized for almost 5mo due to chemo complications), they could not hold my position. As soon as I was close to completing my treatment (started looking in June) I started looking for a job (excited to be well and able to work), I started my NEW job 09/2007. Being that I was diag again (out of remission), I can not telling my work, Im so afraid of getting fired again (WA Law, you can fire for any reason). Ive missed many days of work, and I know that the stress is not helping making me well. My ex does not pay child support (all though I have recently applied for garnishments) - until that happens (could be up to 3mo) I am begging for some help with my Rent of 875.00 (Begging) My last Month was only 1 week late (I worked 2 extra shifts at work 64 hr week) to make the difference - and all though the NORMAL me would gladly do this, Im sick and tired and very WEAK (and I can not tell my kids - the last time I told them I was ill they all got so depressed and almost failed school). My Daughter is Bright and taking College classes while attending H.S., My older Son also is blessed with a bright mind and takes advanced classes - both are College bound, I do not want to jepordize there future with my illness (they already ask why I look so pale and if Im ok), my youngest… I worry about him the most - He never leaves my side and when I am working late he (too mature for a little boy) express’ his concern that if I work too much I might get sick again, that I need to come home and rest (little boys should not be so concerned for their Parent). As far as Their Father goes - He knows Im Ill (and I cant speak for him, but… Pretty much, he does not care). Im asking for Help, any Help. I can not NOT work this many hours (dont get paid overtime for staying late - Im salary - unless it is an EXTRA day of work) and I am not able to do any treatment as long as I know I have all these bills to pay. I am only asking for help from someone who wants to “Pay it Forward” - I can prove all that I am saying. I am a hard worker - a Great Mom & trying to do this all on my own without concerning my kids. Please Help if you are finacially capable. *The State says I make too much to get assistance - I apparently need to be living in a BOX or a liar of money in order to get some small assistance I pay into ): *sadly, I though that welfare was there for those who needed it…. but needless to say; I REALLY NEED help, JUST until my EX is garnished. PLEASE HELP Thank you
