well i am a single mother in need of a house and a car in lubbock texas ive been struggleing so badly i had to ask my mom to take my kids in until i can get both right now i am living place to place and people are saying im wrong to have sent my babies to my mom but they need a safe and secure enviroment until i can provide that for them i have recently found a job but have no idea if im going to be able to make it there everyday i dont know where to turn

I am a father of 2 children one is 14 months and the other is 4 years old, I'm about to get married to the mother of the children. Whats going on is that I am the only one working and she stays at home with the kids because we really dont have family or anyone to help watch the kids. I work 10 hours a day as a Internet and Digital Voice tech support for a cable company. The bills have just been getting higher and higher in the past few months. I've tried to get the bills down by not having cable or internet at the house but still that does not help. Are water and electric bills are always high and rent is always late. I cannot keep the bills in line cause im always behind, if I was caught up on them then I could keep a good handle on it. As we speak my water is already shut off and lights are next, then in a few days the gas will be off. And my phone is turned off now to. We just need help, its hard now days even that kids are in my life. So i just want to have my kids happy and safe everyday thats all i want.

I am a single mom and I just lost my job and was diagnosed with lung disease. I do not qualify yet for unemployment and disability. I was in the hospital for 2 weeks with pneumonia 2 days after I lost my job. I now have tons of bills I cannot pay, plus my mortgage and utilities. I am at a complete loss as to where to turn for help. I cannot afford to pay for COBRA so I can continue medical care. I have never felt so low or been in such a futile situation....

I am single mother and online college student with seven children. I have a 23 month old daughter who has sicklecell disease. Shes in and out the hospital a lot. I have been having a hard time finding a job and one that is flexible. I lost my last job when my daughter was in the hospital,and my boss did not understand the hospital does not allow the babies to be in hospital by themselves. They said a parent or someother adult need to be there. I had no one but me to be there, and sometimes I had to leave so I can go home, and change clothes. When I left my baby, shewas laying there crying, with no one to care for her. The Nurses were too busy. I need a job that understand. I'm am so behind in my bills, I'm borrowing from people so much. I am not able to pay them back and it hurts me, I can not pay back the money. I try to teach my children morals. It to me is unmoral not to pay the people back. I need money and a job. My electricity was turned off yesterday and Mrs. Gray paid the money for us, the money she did not really have. Please can someone help me with the money or a flexible job, that puts family first. I applied for social security for her, my daughter for the third time, hopefully we will be aproved.

PLEASE HELP! Just started new job, and it pays well. All the time i waited to do better, the bills continued to roll in and now are at the point to where we will lose apt and car. All my family needs is 0 to pay some things and catch up. I am willing to pay back, its just a shame tht i cant get to my new job because car was repoed. i just need a hand up. Praying somebody's heart will be touched and help us. please

I was married for 7 years - and subjected to physical and emotional abuse.  We had two children.  I tried so hard to keep on track and do what I needed to do to reach my goals for my children.  I was accepted into graduate school - I gave up mu job and went full time...When I had only one year left - my husband took my children and when in physical custody of the - began a custody battle to pay me back for leaving him.  Of course I quit school immediately and have been looking so hard to find a job to fight for custody of my children.  He took all my money and somehow I was stuck with 75% of the debt.  I have worked so hard my entire life...and now I am behind in all my bills, cannot pay my rent or car payment, will not be able to buy any presents for my children for christmas and am about to be sent to collections for all the debt that I cannot pay.  I am scared.  I have never been so scared in my life.  I also was recently diagnosed with a terminal illness - and cannot even begin to start treatments.  I want to have faith in God that I will come out of this - but I am losing all hope.
