I don’t know what to do about my finances.

I have a 7 month old child. Which i had a hard time adjusting to no thanks to his father. and i had to get on public assistance due to the inability to get a job pregnant, despite the non discrimination laws and no help from the dad. and now i cant afford my rent or bills this month and the rest of my family is struggling similarly and i dont know where to turn for help. is there anyone who knows where i can get help.

im in mass. i am receiving welfare, but i just recently moved into a subsidized housing apartment. the catch was that you dont move in subsidized you had to pay the prorated price which was 800 dollars, but you had the option of paying that over three months so for the last 3 months i have been paying 367 for rent and then paying for my phone and electricity as well and at the beginning i was getting 525 a month and then it lowred because i got into subsidized living to 491 so now im in this terrible position of having to pay 367 for rent this month as well as support my 7 month old child and pay my other bills. i have been calling local outreach programs that i have found on the internet but i dont even know if anyone can help me. and my parents are similarly struggling, i mean they both work full time jobs but they own a house and have 5 kids living with them. so right now i just dont know where to go.

Are you only young or something? And do none of your other family such as aunty/uncle or such support you or can you not contact them or anything?

Im sorry I can’t really think of many other options…
There are sites I was looking at earlier where they pay you to fill out surveys and such things after a one off payment of like $60us but most people say theyre scams but I dunno
I will keep an eye out on this post and maybe say something later
For now bye bye and goodd luck

Since your getting social service you also get child care assistance for free or reduced price. That means that you can now go and get a job. Go to your local job service and get on the jobs program which social service will pay for also. You will get some job training and then have the skills to get a full time job to pay for your bills. Either way you need to have full time employment. Hope this helps :-)
