Im very scared to be homeless!!! Where can I get financial help? |
Im a single mom, everything was ok until I lost my job. I have been trying to get a new job but it seems like there is nothing outthere!! I have been paying for my rent, food, ect thanks to my income tax return and some side thing i have been doing here and there like helping a cousin with her house and kids. Now its soon to be gone. I wont have enough for even rent. I cant afford a babysitter so i can go look for a job. I dont know what to do. Does anyone know what i can do??? Is there some kind of temperary assistance for the needy??? I am so afraid I wont have enought to feed my child... Please advise asap I understand how you are feeling. When my ex hubby and I seperated he was not working even part time. I went to DSHS in Washington and got emergency assistance for my daughter to be in daycare. They asked me if I needed anything else, and because I was working I didn't. I was only on it for a couple of months until I got on my feet and my deadbeat ex started helping out. The point is you do need as much help as you can get. Go to the state for assistance, drop your pride unless you want to be begging on the corner. If you are not working you should be able to get emergency assistance for living expenses and food stamps that will also allow for emergency child care to find work. Good luck and don't feel bad about doing this. It is what state assistance should be for. You can find your local offices either by typing in your city and food stamps or by looking in your local government pages in the phone book. try a staffing company, like express personel. If you can pass a drug test, theyshould give you the job that day and start the next. Well you could move back in with your mom or dad for a while unless you guys don't get along. Any friends or relatives you could stay with. You could try to go on wellfare. I hope luck comes to you. Don't you get Child Support? There are assistance programs out there. Check with family/friends for advice, get a boyfriend, you can figure it out. If child care is an issue, there are many churches and community organizations that will watch your child for free while you look for work. Also talk to your landlord and see if you can convince them to take your rent payment a bit late, with a big fee I'm sure, and hold off on evicting you. then you can look for a job. Be aggressive! Go to all the temp agencies, day-labor companies, and job-seeker fairs. Make 100 copies of your resume at kinkos, and apply to every job you think you might qualify for! Good luck to you and God bless, and I hope you find a job. free child care information: http://www.ccrcla.org/home/index.asp?pag... have you applied for unemployment benefits ? try the local city or county welfare department. Thay may be able to help short term , and with food stamps. Depending on your childs age there may be additional assistance for food , for the child. Some womens associations may have a child minding service that can look after your child while you are looking for work. |
