Can you help a single mom in a desperate situation?

I do not know where to turn. My husband, trying to afford to get divorce from him, left my self and 7 young children in debt with nothing. He is incarcerated for molesting a 14yr old. I am trying to provide my children with a stable life without this disqusting man who deceived us. I was a young wife and mom and have no formal education, nor work experience. I have no car, job, money, nothing but my beautiful children. We are surviving by my one friend in the world, helping us, day by day. I get food stamps and medicade through the state and because of my situation it is impossible to get any other money help from them because I can not meet their requirements. We have gone without much, from electric to food or not being able to school shop for my kids, and much more. We walk 3miles to go to the bus stop every morning and again in the afternoon. Its a community so the bus does not go door to door. I am at the end of my rope and do not know how to better our lives because we have no help except the 1 person and they can not do any more. If anyone has any answers or knows of any organizations that will help it will be greatly appreciated. I’v gone to many to no avail, including churches, 700 club, TBN, Red Cross, Salvation Army, Recap, United Way and many more. If you have no advice to offer, if you would just keep my babies in your prayers, I will be extremely thankful! God bless you. Thank you.

Hello, wow that is quite a life to lead. I can’t imagine what thoughts might rome your mind from day to day. Sweetie you must pray keep your head held high. Your children will understand the situation once they get older. I have a friend who has two baby girls one’s two and one’ one!! She just recently had to give back everything that she owned because she is broke I help to the best of my ability and that is all i can do beside jsut being there for her in general!! It’s a tough world at there and believe me I know there are some great hardships. Look for a man that will treat you like you deserve to be treated. And I know that is probably the least of your worries but it is a start. Keep collecting the money from the state get only the things that you absolutely have to have. We have a program united care where I’m from but I don’t know the number to it I will have to find out some more info about it and get it back to you. But untill then I will keep you and your children in prays. If I can think of anything else that might can help I will let you know. I’m going to do some research on a couple of programs and see if they can help out or what they can do!!

You are doing the right thing. Keep working at it. Keep trying. Keep getting up when you feel like you can’t. You are in the fight of your life and your babies will feel the effects of your efforts. Whether you succeed at this effort or that does not matter so much as you keep trying. As long as they have a safe place and food you are succeeding. Achieving more than that better - but them seeing you never giving up is going to have more impact on them than any handouts you receive. Don’t get me wrong any assistance you get is great - fantastic that you achieved it. Just keep using any assistance as a foothold for your next step. Never never give up.

there is a whole lot more to my story. Hard to believe or not it’s all true plus more. More…..my rent will be 3 months over due in Sept, my electric bill is now $5000, thankfully my friend made a payment so it was recently turned back on. When I say I have nothing -I do not exaggerate, so in order to complete and fullfill TANF (temp assistance needy families) requirements I have to get there which has been impossible so far. It is too far, approx 15 miles, to walk on the busy roads with 7 children to get there, or I would have. We have no family and pretty much exhausted all neighbors, so they cant be bothered. My friend can only pay here and there, enough to keep us scrapeing by, because he has his own family to support in NY, where they live, so rides from him are far and few. I could go on and on, so yes there is definately more. I picked this computer up in someones garbage so I am not very familiar with all this internet, comp stuff. To anyone who has responded to me thank you and i will figure out responses, etc. and to help is here, I went to your website- I am trying to figure out how to fill out and send the application.

if your friend could pay the bill why couldn’t they drive you? what you need to do is copy and paste the application if you dont know how to do that write me at the email address and I will send it to you email and you can fill it out that way. ok
