I am a single mom with two teenagers at home. I was laid off the end of last year and have not been able to find a job. I just recently was approved for unemployment. 247 a week, but now my food stamps and access has been taken away. My ex pays me one fourth of the child support i am suppose to get each month. Last month i had used up the last of my savings and tax return money just trying to get caught up from getting behind in the previous months. I was diagnosed with heart failure last summer and now that my access was taken away from me, i have no medical coverage which means will not be able to get my prescription medication. I dont know how the state thinks that a family of 3 can survive on 1000 a month. So now it is April 5th and i still dont have rent. My rent is 1224 a month which, i know is steep, but i moved in here 2 yrs ago and i made decent money. I always heard the saying "you are one paycheck away from being homeless" and i am living that. If i dont pay my rent in a couple days i will be on the streets. My son would probably go stay with his gf. My daughter, who is 16, and just found out is pregnant, will most likely stay with me, her dad doesnt seem to want her at his place. I am not the type of person to ask anyone for help. I dont know if its because i am stubborn or proud but i have always felt that i could deal with and overcome any obstacle in life. Now i am out of options and i am doing this mainly for my kids. I would sincerely appreciate any help anyone could give. Thank you
