in response to Hopefulnewstart...Have you looked into womens refuges these specialise in assisting women and their children who are escaping violence. I work in a refuge in Australia and we help and advise and offer crisis shelter. I know they have work in this area in the States so there must be some provision available but I am afraid I dont know the detail. Look up crisis line numbers and they should be able to point you in the right direction. We have helped many women turn their lives around.

in response to winterlyn...We told welfare that were homeless and she is pregant and also told them about her income. Even brought paystubs but they told her she makes too much and that they have to cancel her application. Thanks for the help
welfare does have income limits but if they know your homeless n shes pregnant can help.go tothe housing dept in welfare n talk to them.be honest, tel them u have income, low income, n u just need help finding a place u cam afford.they usually give u the sec. deposit....as for sec 8, as long as your low income they help. the only bad thing is, there is usually a long waiting list that your put on.good luck, i hope this helps!!!
Hi. Me and my gf just found out she is a month pregant. I just lost my temporary job and was kicked out of where we were staying. Now were homeless with no one to turn too. we tried to get foodstamps but she was turned down for making 20 dollars too much. All her money go"s to her car and with out that.. Were doomed.

Please...

California, florida, i don't really care as long as I can provide for my kid. I know Spanish and English, i understand Italian and Portuguese. I also played college tennis, and i have thought tennis in well knows athletic clubs, i just don't have my teaching license. I have nannied since i was 9 years old up to now. I just need to get away from everyone that does not want me to have my baby. If any of you have any advice please let me know. Thank you!
I am also a single mother of three ages 3,4 and 10. I am 30 years old currently not working. Desperatly in need of a job to support my kids. I currently am staying with my parents but constantly argueing with them. Sometimes fighting. They say they want me out but there is nowhere for me to go. Their dad is not around and could care less unfortunately. If anyone knows of any kind of assistance other than section 8 please, I would greatly appreciate it. I can't live like this anymore and its not healthy for my kids to hear it or see it. Please help me.
I am a woman with three children and college grad and no job . Im from Rochester, NY and in a very abusive relationship...... need a way out. I have family in other states like GA. NC. and Fla. but dont know how to start to leave this place. do anyone know help numbers in any of the states i have listed?
in response to Gogglesglare...Ummm, I am not sure where you are or what advice has been given to you. I know here where I am (In Mississippi) if you go file for food stamps, they ask for the fathers name and if you are recieving child support. If not, they take it from there. Ask around for what is out there Government wise for help. I KNOW how hard it is to go from living well, to living poor and having to seek help. The very first time I sat waiting my turn at a food pantry I cried like a baby. Just having to be there humiliated me, but I have learned that for those of us who REALLY want to get out of this hole and get back to where we were or even better then we must take what ever steps we have to. I have found (here anyway) that different cities around the area offer different help. The food pantry here is by the Methodist church and they give out monthly boxes full of stuff you actually will use even with MEAT! I also found that the government housing in some of the cities is NOT where I would want to place my child in, BUT, here in the city I moved to it is actually very nice and the waiting list only took three months to get us in. I also, through talking to a friend I have made here found out about all the little discounts I can get off of my internet.
We all have our moments of feeling as if our life will never get better and as you said F us all, but after the melt down is over, remember as long as you are trying as hard as you can and looking for help in all places you can that you are doing your best and you WILL provail!!

Everyone agrees and applauds, but where's the help? There's still not enough programs. Get this. I'm 27 year old mom of 4 year old. My car just broke down and lost my job because of lack of transpertation. I try to make his deadbeat abusive father responsible and pay for anything. All that I'm left with is his child, my life threatened and him on probation from the domestic charges. I did what I was suppose to. Got him out! Now what???? It cost $450 just to file forms to start child support. I was abonded by everyone. Now what? Give my son away, and die homeless? What do I do??? I have no one. I came from a good home, I was raised republican, Christian with hi standards and ethics. I am now the person I was taught not to be. Not by my choices, but by the choices of people close to me that affected me completely. My life will never be. I'm only 27 and I'm starving, my baby isn't, I've lost 93 lbs, I can't buy clothes, but my baby is dressed, I can not afford cable, but my baby has his favorite movies. Why do I find the strength? When his father is let so loosely off the hook. I can't believe they charge money to file for child support. Don't you think I would have never applied if money was not an issue???? Just venting, this won't help either. Fuck you and fuck me, we're all so truly loved aren't we???
in response to Kirbybuffy...Oh man! Glad to know we are not alone. Its trully sad and scary out there. Hubby been out of normal field od work for 3 years and its been a struggle ever since and seems to get worse! Been looking for work just taking in any job, we have exhausted our life savings jusst to survive, and it breaks my heart! I honeslty don't know what to do anymore. Just got laid off once again, and denied unemployment (long story) I lay awake worrying so much! We know how to survive off very little, but surviving off nothing is not possible! We have a 10 yo and infant girl! What makes it harder is knowing just me and hubby could live in our car, but not the kids, its got to the point where we wonder if the kids would be better staying somewhere else while we stay in the car!? I just don't dont know anymore, I am so sad! You just feel numb after a while! It also kills me because its not bad choices at all, its hard luck. P--prayers!

in response to singledad1234...I applaud you for being strong and raising your children alone..not many men today have that mindset, and sadly not alot of women either. I have to agree with you wholeheartedly that us women have to use common sense when dealing with men. We are the ones that can get pregnate, left with children to raise alone, and need to be really picky about who we procreate with. Even with a child, you can find a man to love you but wait for the right one and stop bringing more fatherless children into an already bad situation. It's like digging a ditch that gets deeper and deeper and your asking for help to get out but theres really no answer except to change what your doing, its not working so do something different. I learned this the hard way, thinking my ex husband would help raise our kids, he didn't..when I figured out that I was in this alone, I stopped dating losers..if he wouldn't help with his own kids, what could I possibly expect other men to do for my kids? I set the bar high, waited, made changes in myself and actually LOVED being alone..once I was self-sufficent, I looked for a man who loved God above all else, and wanted a family not just a wife. My now-husband raised my two older kids, set a wonderful example of a TRUE father and provider, and we now have two more children..but I waited until I knew he was in it for the long haul or I would have been raising kids again on my own. I pray that the women suffering and more so, the children, open their eyes, know they can do it alone until Mr. RIGHT comes , work on you, focus on your children and build yourself a support system. God doesn't want you to fail, he has more blessings for you than you can handle, but you have to turn to him and be willing to go it alone if you have to until that special someone comes alone..my heart goes out to you all, but be aware and don't let boyfriends trick you into having kids with no commitment..the thing that saved me and allowed me to get back on track after years of struggling financially was being married, the court recognizes you as a wife but not as a girlfriend. If I hadn't been married for over 8 years to my ex, He wouldn't ever had to split his 401k or investments with me. That gave me and my kids security that we needed after we no longer had his income..so think about your kids and put them first, they didn't ask to be here and deserve everything life has to offer. They should have two parents, but if they only have one and it's you, do all you can to make every moment with them be the best moment possible..Blessings to you all
in response to OliviaDianne...I'm 23.The same exact thing happend to me I wwas with my babys father for four years and then he wanted to have a family so I agreed he chickened out and left me while I was 6 months pregnant for a 18yr old girl then he came back two months later trying to pretend like it never happend. Ughh this is a horrible situation as it causes painful feelings. The advise I give to you is time goes on life goes on, find a therapist I did . Have them lay out some options with you and see what you guys come up with. Stay strong !! U are a independent woman who can make it! You don't need him!! Be brave. May god be with you and help you find a clear path.
in response to montedreams...Amen!!! I agree. I just came across this site today, after looking for resources for the homeless, low-income housing, etc. At first I was so thankful, feeling God had answered a prayer. Then as I'm reading, I noticed that some people leaving comments are really mean & hateful. How dare they be so un-caring to someone that is already feeling down & totally hopeless. What's the point? That doesn't help them. I'm sure they have already had a huge dose of tough love. They are here in search of HELP....not a chewing out by some smart mouth that doesn't care about what they are going through. If u can't say something nice, don't say anything. I don't understand people who enjoy being disrespectful to someone that has done nothing to deserve it. My heart just sings when I get the chance to help someone in need. I mean, what else could be more rewarding. I don't have much to work with myself right now, but there are lots of ways to be a blessing to someone other than with money. I was shocked to see so many people are in the same situation as I am, if not worse. I'm not as young as most of the ones I've read about here, but I do have a child that is 11 yrs. old. My husband lost his job in Sept. We don't have any transportation, & we live in a very small town that has next to no job opportunities. Similar story.....we got behind on our rent & have now been evicted. We don't have anyone that can help us. Our church has helped us out alot already. And we don't have a clue where we are going to go. We live in Texas. I have been looking online for some kind of resources for housing, but haven't found anything. What bothers me about it is my son having to suffer. My husband & I could just tough it out, pitch a tent somewhere, sleep in our car(if we had one). We would just have to make due, but I can't put my son in that position. My 22 yr. old son lives 300 miles away & is going to TRY to bring me an older truck he's not using, but I don't even have any gas money to help him with. And unless I can find him a ride back, he won't even be able to bring it. I didn't mean to post this much info. but this is the only site I've found where you can tell your story. And it may possibly reach someone that might could help or have info that would be helpful. Well thank you, & my prayers are with you all.
in response to krox13...Have the father of your kid(s) to man up & provide a place for your kids. Do this by making sure they pay child support or go to jail.

Hi I'm new to this site but I'm desperate for help. I'm 32 with a beautiful 19mo baby and were in need of a place to live. I'm currently staying with family and its not a good situation. I'm on waiting list at shelters but nothing. The town I'm near and in there's very little help. I'm looking for work to get on my feet but its been hard. Like I said I'm staying with family and its an extremely stressful difficult situation. In addition to there being no room for
us at all. If someone can help or knows of anything. I've also tried low income housing but the wait list for that is at least 2yrs.
