I am a single mother, trying to find help with providing my kids with a permanent roof over their heads. I am a survivor of domestic violence. I put my ex-husband in jail and moved us out of our home so that he could not find us. It took me almost two years to finalize our divorce and get permission to leave the state. We are finally out, in temporary housing, and it took every penny I had. Our temporary housing only runs through the end of the month, and I have been running into problems left and right getting approved for a rental. While we were married, my ex husband would steal the money I had for rent and bills, even diapers and wipes. It left me in a horrible predicament credit-wise, as I had to let go of my credit just to be able to make ends meet. Now that things are stable with income, I am left with hardly anyone wanting to rent to me. Even low-income housing requires decent credit. The landlords who have said they would consider it need much greater deposits than I can come up with. I have also priced small mobile homes, and while they would fit our budget perfectly, I cannot procure a loan even through our federal guaranteed loan programs. I am seeking help getting us into a decent place to live, or if you know of any private lenders who may be willing to lend to someone for a small mobile home, I would be so very grateful! Brightest Blessings!

I'm a 52 year old single female with physical handicaps that makes it hard to find work suitable for me. I lost my job due to a massive lay off. Haven't been able to find a job near me. They are very few openings and discriminatory I think. Due to financial hardship, I am facing eviction, with nowhere to turn to. I don't have family here and know noone. I need help to get my truck fixed and to make the trip home to where my children are. I can't be homeless. So I need to go home. My home state is basically 4 states away. The Gulf Coast area. I am in Ohio. I am humbling myself to ask for help here. And if one day, I can pay it forward, I will. Thank you and God Bless!

Last resort I tried everything. But can't find a job in my area.need transportation the buses don't go to where the potential jobs are.

I recently found out I'm HIV+, I am not a drug user, almost always practice safe sex. But, went home and slept with my ex boyfriend and acquired the bug, I have very little income, my HIV medication is going to cost A LOT, and I am out of food stamps until they refill in 7 days! I'm very frightened for many reasons, and anything helps. I literally panhandled yesterday! :( Also, my rent is due on Friday I pay $450 a month. If I don't get it paid I'll have to be out by Monday of next week and have absolutely nowhere to go. My family has shunned me away because of my status and sexuality.
