It's been a while. I've been busting my butt to provide for my family. I have managed to pay off some of my bills. I reached rock bottom and sold my husband and my wedding rings to pay the bills. I now have nothing left to sell and don't know what i'm going to do now. I have no heat in my house, my car just broke down, and I am currently 3 months behind in rent. When it rains it pours. Everyone keeps telling me things will get better. But no one is offering to help me. I don't want to be homeless with my young daughter. She graduates this year, the last thing she should be worried about is grown up money issues. I feel like i'm failing her. Anyway, I thank everyone for there kind words on here. It really makes me feel better. If anyone would like to help us out, anything will help right about now. Keep me and my family in your prayers. God bless you all
in response to ...Hi
Has your husband passed out flyers for his work, gone to apartment managers for the number of property owners and also out here Ace Hardware has people not working for them but handyman I have used giving me their cards..Advertise in Craiglist.org and i think it would be services. Look at that site as a friend advertises for his own biz doing electrical wiring.. If I can catch him I can get more precise information..Good luck.
in response to smiley323...God we ask that in the name of Jesus that you would meet this sisters needs, give what she needs to make it in Jesus name i pray A-MEN
Thank you all for your suggestions. It's good to know that there are people who are concerned about others still existing in this world. Well I've been blessed and someone from a church allowed my husband and I to move into a 2drm/1bth without a security deposit and no money down, and a reasonable amount monthly. I am so grateful to God for this. Things are going good and now all we have to do is pray for work for him. He does painting, laying carpet, drywall...renovation, and he's very talented and a hardworker. We are in Miami, Florida so if anyone needs an employee, please feel free to inquire. Thanks to you all...
Hey been there and doing that except one thing be persistant, look on craigslist, and think about getting a reliable roommate, people are allways wanting to share.
Prayer helps too and there are local agencies willing to help with deposit and rent, goto food banks, and be humble, churches help too, plus their is low income rent for people with disabilities that goes bye your income. I get up early and check the newspaper, I drive around sides streets and look for rent sighns I write down the number and call and I pray some more finaly I am getting a whole house to rent near stores and parks. Have faith and don't give up!
Your not in the right state and when you get SSDI Leave the state or they will make your life hell homeless people are outcast just like the outcast people in india.
Maybe you will get lucky and they will just forget you.
in response to Therese2...Most of the programs that I have tried require you to have children and i don't have any, no I haven't tried Social security....DUH!!!! LOL!! Thank you and I will cal them and ask !
Have you tried going to Social Security and asking if there was any program's out there to help or agencies? What about the Housing authority or Depart of Social Service's? They cant help out at all? Just a thought.
What do I do?? How can I get help and my credit is bad? I am really close to becoming homeless. I collect SSD and I need an apartment, the trouble is I can't afford to pay the security/deposit due to the fact that I'm staying in a hotel. I'm in Miami, and I'm desperate!! I'm so afraid of being so close to living on the streets. Anyone has any advice or information? Please help!!
I am a single mother of 4 kids. I am mentally disabled. I am about to be an official., homeless, bag lady.
The house I have lived in for 23 years, and rented all that time- needs a new roof. .It is only a 5 room house on a city lot.
My landlord does not want to pay to have a roof put on or fixed. My kitchen ceiling literally leaks in the house, when there is a super hard rainfall, also have lots of water spots on ceiling in other rooms.
He has offered me the option of buying the house for only 6 thousand dollars, an unheard of bargain, The house is over 100 years old,or he'll sell it and I will have to move out..
Being mentally disabled, I do not do very well with any kind of change in my life. I really do not want to have to live in the streets or a shelter, and can not afford to rent anywhere else, as I have been very fortunate in that my landlord did not raise the rent much in all 23 years, but the catch is, he did not fix anything either.
I raised all 4 of my kids in this house. I have never even borrowed a cup of sugar from a neighbor. I never ask for anything, but sometimes everyone needs some help.
I am a good citezen, never in any trouble. None of my 4 kids have ever been in any kind of legal trouble. None of them have any money to help me, as they are still in school.,trying to get an education so they won't end up like me, poor, sick, broke, and almost homeless.
My deceased dad always said, " Use your brain, so you won't have to earn a living with your back,"
meaning physical labor.
If anyone thinks they can help me in any way, financially or with a new roof, please contact me, and all interest and help will be very much appreciated.
"Love isn't Love, until you give it away".
P.U.S.H.----that is what it says on an ink stamper I have. means, Pray until something happens. I feel like my life is over, if I am left homeless. Thank You for listening. Sister Sarah

I'm a single mom who finally has gotten my life back together, but I'm still poor and uneducated. I lived from pay check to pay check, but now it has gotten worse. I'm so behind in my bills, that I'm living beyond my next pay check. I'm so humiliated and frustrated. No one will give me a good paying job without a college degree. I can not afford college and still feed my daughter. I'm not elligible for welfare do to my daughter's age. I'm not elligible for HUD or any other form of bying a house because my credit is poor....I can go on and on but i have no real solutions and fast.
I'm so tired but there is no rest for me and I have to keep living this way if I dont want to be hungry or homeless.
If someone could please help me I would be so grateful. I have a family of 5 and I am in sales. January's sales were very bad and I am in a hole. My car is going to be repossessed and with out it I ca... see full post
