First of all, I think that this is a wonderful thing that you are doing. There are so many people out there who need help and pointed in the right direction. Keep up the good work.
Now, here's my story. I am a single mother of an 11 year old. I recieve little financial help from his father and no physical help. In fact, he hasn't seen him since he was a year and a half.
I few months ago I was scammed out of $1400. This put me behind on all my bills. I had borrowed the money, and my pay check went to pay back all the loans. Even that wasn't enough to cover them. I had to live off of the meager $66 a week I get in child support for 2 months. (I have contacted everyone and reported the scam. I don't know if I will be able to get my money back though. I have not heard anything as of today.)
I have since been able to get somewhat caught up on my bills. The one major problem I am having is my rent. It wasn't a problem before this all happened, but I have since gotten behind 3 months. I don't want to have to look for a new place to live. My son and I love it here, and he has many friends in the neighborhood.
I have tried to get some rental assistance, but I make $1000 too much. This is a problem I am running into everywhere I turn. I make too much money. I don't know where else to turn. If anyone has any ideas or resources I can contact, they would be most welcome.
Thanks for listening and God bless.
