Need Help
Jess, CT
I am a struggling mother of 3 trying to get by on almost nothing. This week I lost my entire amount of unemployment, which is a measly $150, to bank fees and I have no where to turn. I apply to any and all jobs that I can. I would love to be working and providing for my family, but that just no longer seems feasible in America. I am asking for any kind hearts out there to please help me and my children get by in tough times and for those that can help, in the future you will see your good karma repaid to you. Thank you in advance for any help that is offered
Money to live off until mid July
I'm going to be straight up honest. I just got an apartment and I had to pay the deposit, early move in fee as well as next month's fee all together. The total came to about $900. I also had to buy a bed for my apartment since I didn't have one. I got a bed with the money my mother gave me. I felt really bad taking my mom's money because I know she needs it since I know how much debt she's in. I would really love to pay her back. My debit card has around $200...saving that money for electricity bill since I have to pay a deposit for it. My credit card I have around $1200 in it and would like to reduce it and not spend on it anymore. The debt increased due to... a friend of mine's wedding was 2 hours away so I got my car checked to make sure it's fine. All my tires were terrible and was advised to get new tires. I did that and the total cost for everything from oil change to alignment cost me $600. Also, I need my eye prescription renewed, it expired more than 7 months ago. I've been wearing my contacts for those 7 months and really need to get prescription renewed, I'm so very broke right now and any money would be appreciated. I got a job starting July 2nd and won't receive any payment until mid July. Majority of the things I need to pay for like bills, have to come from a debit card and not credit card. $200 would be a good start for me and I'd hopefully be able to deal with the rest on my own. Thanks.
HELP US RAISE OUR 5 GRANDCHILDREN
My daughter, her husband and their 5 children live together with us. In a small townhouse it's sometimes cramped and loud! Still my wife and I wouldn't have it any other way!
I was raised to work hard and everything would come your way. For 35+ years our life was OK, but last year my wife lost her job.She has been trying to find a job but nothing so far. Thank God for unemployment! Today we found out that her NJ Extended Unemployment has been cancelled!
My son-in-law works hard in a warehouse but on his salary they can't afford to rent their own place. I work the school year as a School Bus Driver but during the summer I drive a Para Transit bus for less than 1/2 of my normal rate. Now I don't have any idea how I'll pay my mortgage along with all the other bills.
I've never in all my life (I'm 58) had to cope with all this. I don't know how to tell my grandchildren who are 7,6,4,2 and 1 that they may have to leave the only home they've ever known?
