I am a single mother of two beautiful children 3yr old daughter and 16mth old son.

I am desperate for help; I am homeless with nowhere to go. Social Services have told me that there is no assistance what-so-ever available for my family. No medical, no emergency housing, nothing. I was told it was due to budget cuts. I have called every where I could find, and am told the same thing each time - “I’m sorry, there just isn’t anything we can do to help you.” I receive no child support (never have) and have absolutely no where else to turn. I am now down to absolutely nothing. I just used the last bit of change I could scrounge up to buy some cereal and milk. I have been on my own and have supported myself since I was 14 years old. I have always worked hard, volunteered my time, and tried my best to provide a stable life for my children and myself. I understand there are ups and downs in life, and that everything makes you stronger, but this is killing my soul. No matter how bad my life has been, I’ve always kept my faith and tried my best to stay positive and “keep on keepin’ on”, but now I’m becoming so weak. I feel like I’m falling down a dark black hole and trying to grab hold of anything, but just keep falling as there isn’t anything to grab. I’m afraid that once social services find out that I have no where to go and am unable to support my children they will take my kids away from me. They are still aware of what’s going on with their mommy, and why we keep moving around. I’ve tried to hide all of this from them to try and protect them. They are so young and innocent and I hate myself because of all of this. I pray to God everyday and night for a miracle. Please, please, from the depth of my soul HELP ME!

Where are you? Are there any free food banks or soup kitchen’s in your area? Can you Google it? How are you online now? Can you cut expenses somehow?

Pardon me if this seems rude or anything, but where did you get a computer with internet access?

Where do you live(stay)? Can your family help you in anyway? If your in the US, your state sucks and you got to get to a new one. Thats just wrong of them to say that. I am so sorry hun! I wish I could help more!
