need help

I have 3 kids and was able to pay our rent this month but I don't know about next month. I rent from my Uncle and you would think since he is family, he would want to help but all he cares about is his money. I was laid off 3 years ago and went back to school. Graduated with my Associates degree (during which I lost all 3 of my grandparents and gave birth to a baby girl). I have stayed at home since graduating because my husband had a great job and I didn't want to take something away from someone who really needed it but my husband's hours got cut and now he barely works 35 hrs a week. We took in someone to live with us (a friend of my brother's) hoping that would give us a little extra money but all she did was eat our food, run up our cable pay-per-view (which they cut off because of this), run up our power bill and she never once paid rent. We kept asking her where her money was but she never paid us. Now, we not only are as in debt as we were before, we have no cable and can't pay the 300 bill to get it back on either! My mom let us borrow a converter box so that we could at least have SOME tv. My parents promised to help us when they got my grandparents estate settled but my uncle (the one who owns our house) pitched a fit and contested it during probate because I wasn't a "child... only a grandchild and I don't deserve anything". So, I just don't know what we are going to do and I have been praying but it just doesn't seem to go anywhere and I just think about giving up.

Dont think anyone cares

I posted a brief blog of what is happening in my life in mid Dec and allowed anyone to see into my life from their computers which isn't easy to do as ya'll should know for yourself. No one has reached out their hand to me. not anyone has shown any concern of my cituation. But if I were to be killed everyone would stand there and say I wished I would of just helped she may still be here. Dont wait until that happens . Its TO COSTLY.

Hi, i am new to this page and i don't quite know how to start off but i will do the best i can...i have always been the type in the past that held much pride and dared not to accept anyones kindness or even my own self pity. well this year has taught me that when you need help that you can do nothing about , one has to come to realize that their pride has to be tossed away along with all you've lost. i guess i will start from the beginning and try hard not to rambel. well earlier this year i recently moved from my home state: mississippi to texas in hopes of changing my life and excelling in college as a fashion design major. well as soon as i moved to texas my unfortunate downfall begin to come to play. on January 1st 2008 i lost a dear friend of mine a few days later my great grandmother died so i went to back to back funerals and basically had to grieve more than once in one month to add to that i had just began my life long dream to go to a fashion institute but my first day of school it was raining and i could not concentrate because i had just lost 2 of the most favorite people in my life to add to that it just so happen that my first day of school was my birthday so i did not celebrate nor did i have the strength to crack a smile to my new classmates and cheer over my future. well, i did not add that i left behind a fiance in mississippi and with the move there came distrust and discomfort so i everything seem to be shaky. well i got used by my fiance and he ended up breaking up with me in april of 2008 i was devasted and had still not gotten over the close ones that past away. well school i could not concentrate again and i could not be happy nor did i have interest in my passion anylonger. my mother became sick she was having strokes left to right and her relationship was failing my little sister was becoming a trouble maker and i lost my job due to economic downsizing. on top of that my car broke on me so i was left walking in what was still a new city to me because i never got to sight see due to me working all the time and having fashion shows almost all the time. well i ended up losing my apartment that i was in and a few months after that i found out my grandmother had lung cancer and she was dying but she tried to hide it...i knew she was going to sadly pass soon because i witnessed her cry in front of me for the first time in my life. well she passed and my mother quoted to me i lost my best friend: her mother and i lost my own soul that hurt me because i did not know what to do. well i ended up dropping out of school or better yet getting kicked out because i had to tend to my mother and her ailing health and make sure my siblings were okay. i tried to get a loan to get back in school but i was denied and my financial aid did not go through..i felt like surely there was nothing more i could go through but i was wrong.well my grandfather tried to commit suicide and so did my older sister. my family my world my life was and is falling apart. so i still did not have a job out of school mother sick and my older sister had to move in with my mom and i with her 3 children...but more bad news came the apartment we stay in presented us with an eviction notice and said that we owed 600 by december 31 of 2008 ior we will basically be homeless and on top of that we will owe  900 dollars more on the 1st to pay off the regular rent... none of us has a job... i am so stressed that my hari has fallen out my weight has gone up and down i just dont know what to do... i have tried to get a loan and applied for all types of rental assistance and have recieved no luck... i knew nothing else to do but to plead for someone to either donate or help us...i throw away my old pride and ask...i have so much left on my shoulders and i need help....we need help...we need help... Helpppppppppppp please  i am desperate

About LadyMom36

I am a single mother of three teenagers, ages 17, 16, 14. The two older children are my sons and they have Autism with other disabilities. Well we bought my home in June of 2007. We are already going to lose the home unless I can file bankruptsy. What happend was I was engaged, but back in January I made him move out due to physical and mental abuse. I have been struggling ever since to try to make ends meet. I am currently 7 months behind on the mortgage and they are not offering any payback or anything at all, I am applying for food stamps but the customer service center says it can take up to 30 days and right now I literally do not have anything to feed my kids for dinner tonight. I have to get the gas turned back on and pay a deposit before winter gets here and I have no car. I am pretty much in deep trouble and have no where to turn. no family or friends that can help and no idea what the world I am going to do. Not enough income and not enough time in a day to solve all this.....about ready to just give up.

About The King's Daughter

 I am a single mother of 3 children. I go to school full time and I sell Avon for income. I do okay with the Avon. But my ends aren't quite meeting anymore. My boyfriend tries to help me but he has his own bills to pay. He's already short on cash because of constantly helping me keep my head above water these past 6 months. Lately I feel like I have bad luck. I never believed in luck until recently. In a couple of weeks me and my children will officially not have a place of our own. My light bill is due in a couple of days and I'm praying that we somehow don't get cut off until we move out of here. I have a $350 phone and internet bill. I need both my phone and my internet for my business. I feel like I'm sinking fast and that I can't do anything about it. I'm afraid. I wish I could go to sleep and wake up in a new life. I do the best I can, but it's never good enough. I deserve to live good. My kids deserve the good life too. Why can't I have a good job and make money like everyone else. Why me?
