Single Mom Looking For Advice....

Hello, I am very new to this and it's somewhat difficult for me to actually be posting on here. I am not for sure if this site can assist me but here goes...I am a single mom in need of assistance with my rent and utilities. I am employed and have tried to work to assit myself in regards to getting caught up on everything but I am so far behind it's useless..I am digging the hole deeper. With that in mind, I took it upon myself because I do take iniative to call many many organizations here in the Dallas Metroplex Area to see about assistance from 211, Dallas County Services, Area Churches, Food Pantries, Urban Leagues, Several Different Foundations, Salvation Army, and many many more...and everyone is giving the same answer either all funds are exhausted or they do not service my zip code. Is there anyone that can provide me with any additional resources that I have contacted...

My husband just had brain surgery on July 23, 2010, and he had a aneurysm the size of a half a dollar. He has not worked since he surgery. He is doing okay but he can't go back to his job for awhile and our family doctor told us he may not be able to go back to his regular job. I work full-time and we have 2 kids and I don't make enough money to cover our monthly bills and I'm scare that we may end up loosing our home. I try to trust in God and hope he will provide, but it is very hard sometimes. I need help paying our bills. Thanks for reading this. God Bless!!!

If You Have A Good Heart And Want To Help Someone In Need Financially

If you decided to click on this post, I want to thank you in advance already for reading this. I have prayed for help and guidance. Now I am asking that God puts it on your heart to help with whatever you can. I know there are a lot of other single mothers out there struggling just like me and afraid to ask for help. I was but I am stepping out know and asking because I want to get on my feet and be able to provide.

Yes, I have made mistakes that have caused my credit not to be in the best shape. So I cant even get a loan anywhere. I think it would be ridiculous to put how much I actually need cause it is quite a bit even to me. I am just asking that you give what ever you feel. I figure if I get a few small amounts that it will equal to what I need.


If you can not help then please say a short prayer for us. Thank you and God Bless.

Well It actaully has started back in 2006 when my husband was struck by lightning doing a job for direct tv. It messed up his nerves on the left side leaving him in such pain and doctors just prescribing him meds after meds which by the way have not helped. Due to that incident it has left him to to be very limited on certain things that he is and isnt able to do. Therefore I was the one supporting the household bymyself. I was working at the time up until April of this year, when the economy decided to take a fall and left me to get laid off from my employment. We fell behind on bills but by the grace of god I was able to get on unemployment. My husband at the same time got denied disability.  I have put in application after application, gone through interviews, I have applied at places that honestly I said I wont work at due to the pay not enough make my bills, yet a job is a job right? I have been told I am over qualified and told they prefer students, is that allowed? If not quite a few jobs have been saying this.. I mean they teach these kids here to stay in school it will pay off go to college, well how does it pay off if when you get older people turn you down and tell you you are over qualified... Confused?

 Now I have 4 weeks left of my unemployment, I only get a certain amount a week, every week I am paying alittle on my bills. However it still keeps me behind and now they are wanting to disconnect everythng.. I really need help paying my electric and water bill. If you could please point me in the direction to go and help me please. I have three children and I am doing the best I can. My husband is now going out and looking for jobs and I dont know how well his body is going to hold up with that. Please help

About Sleepless1

First off, thank you for looking at my post.  I'm a single mother, and desperately struggling financially, after having my income reduced drastically.  The electric bill for last month that I struggled to pay was $515.00 and now this month after cutting back is $460.  My water bill jumped up an additional $55 this month, as I guess they read the meters unexpectedly, so what is usually a $40 bill is now $95!  And the sad part is, the 21st we will be shut off if I cant get any help.  I am totally at wits end trying to get this paid.  Unfortunately, I had to take a payday loan last month, and cant afford to do that again.  What a vicious circle.  I'm trying to find ways to make extra money, but not any jobs available right now.  The charities are running out of funds, as it seems everyones bills are just like mine.  Not a big house either, only 1200 sf.

 

I would really appreciate any help, as I do get paid on the 1st of each month, but unfortunately thats a little too late.  Are there any angels that can help me figure this out and point me in the right direction?  If you cant help, can you tell someone who might help us?  Thank you so much.

My husband and I have four children. I am currently in college and my husband was working full time until he was laid off. He now receives very little for unemployment and he can't find a job. He has looked everywhere. We have a few pressing bills that need to be paid asap. We are behind on our rent, electricity, car insurance, and other bills. Our children are starting school in two weeks and we haven't been able to buy their school supplies. I am not asking for a lot of help just a little to help us get back on our feet. I have just started college and I am working on my degree in medical administration. Help would really be appreciated. Thanks!

 

Update: I am due to have surgery Monday, August 17. I have no insurance to cover this operation. The surgery is going to cost $6,000-$8,000 with discounts. I have a very large kidney stone that has to be surgically removed because it is to big to pass. The stone is causing back up in my kidney and causing my kidney to swell. If I do not have the surgery I could  have kidney failure. Any donations will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
