keep the fath ok?

First check out the eviction and make sure it is legal. Go to the eviction hearings as it will buy you atleast ten to 20 days depending on the situation. Contact the ministerial association in your community. They can tell you which churches help with all of the above. Check out stimulus money and see if you qualify for any of it. There is money for first time buyers. I don't know what the requirements are. If you can't find work start your own. Clean houses or whatever you can do. Make sure you get your name on section 8 housing. There's a long list but you need to start somewhere. Sign up with www.freecharitycars sometimes they help with insurance and a one time payment, if not when your car gets repoed you have a chance to get a donated car. It's a wonderful site and everyone is in the same boat. Go to your local vocational rehabilitation office and see if you qualify as a displaced worker. If you qualify for their program they have various areas of help. You may have a waiting list. What state are you in.  Talk to every charity organization in your community, you can get a list from the chamber of commerce. If you belong to a church go to them they may know of a job or housing. If not you might want to join a church for the support and comfort that they will give both you and your daughter. Sometimes you have to find others who are in the same boat and share housing and expenses. If you have a college in your town they post roomates on the bulleting board. Give me more details on your community and I will see what I can think of. Good Luck and God Bless do the eviction hearing though that's important.

I am in same situation..the house I am in is barely livable.I am getting evicted iN a couple days.The rent is ridiculous because everyone seems to think the oil boom is still going strong.The landlord told me he could care less if my kids and I live under a rock.The local shelter has one tiny room available in the attic so that's where we will be staying until I can find a job and my ex will start caring about his children as much as his 19 year old girlfriend...sigh..I'm sick of this crap!!!

I am in her same situation with 3 children, have no idea how long they will give us to move once I go to court to be evicted? I am so scared to be homeless & it is 3 weeks before CHristmas & very coold out!  :(

I cry myself to sleep

I pray that you find a job, and don't go homeless. I pray your little girl never has to feel the harsh reality of the united states "Me, myself, and I" attitude. Everyone is so about being independant that when trouble comes along it is tremendously hard not only to ask for help BUT TO RECEIVE IT is so ridicously sad.-----There is no such thing as real help.

I get $400.montly in child support.

I went for assistance....The law is that if you want to receive cash assistance #1) You must forfeit your child support to the state in which you live.

#2) Then upon elgibility requirements and a bunch of nonsense ......I WAS TOLD THEY TAKE THE $400.00 AND IN RETURN MY CHILDREN WOULD RECEIVE A TOTAL OF $323.00 A MONTH!!!!!!!!

WTF!!!! How is receiving less money susposed to help??????

Myself and my 3 children live in this same place as "need a Miracle"......Flowery branch.

WELL GUESS WHAT I AM ABOUT TO BE HOMELESS TOO!!!!! I have left here 2 weeks and me and my 3 children have no where to go. Housing has a freeze on it mandated by the state. The city of Gainesville has a hiring freeze as well.

I am an honor roll student in the medical field.... I am trained to work in the medical field and I can't get a job!!!!

My situation is almost identical.  Georgia State help does NOT exist!!! 

This is such a tragic situation.

 I am an English man with an american girlfriend with 2 children. She has just lost her job and it seems like there is no help from the state, which to me is astounding.

In britain we believe everyone should have a safety net to help them through the tough times. we argue as to how much it should be, but in general we all accept that these are people we are taling about. And people will always be more important than things, businesses or money.

 So I pay a little more tax than you, and people like my girlfriend can get a little help with rent, and food, and fuel and  medicine.

I dont know how the system works in the states, and I really wish I were there to help her. Im scared for her children. Please, if anyone knows what would happenif she loses her flat. please post it here quickly.

pleas tell us how we can help. ur not alone

I feel you pain and I am praying for you. I lost my job as well and am so afraid, especially with this economy. My faith is being tested and I know God wil take us through this, please never lose faith.
