NEED A MIRACLE  

Single Mom about to become Homeless - PLEASE GOD HELP ME!

I am a single mother of a beautiful 10 yr old daughter, who has no idea that very soon, she will be forced from the home she has grown up in, to live in her mom's car with her mom. In approx. 2 weeks time, I lost my job, received an eviction notice, my auto insurance will be cancelled (5 days left to pay), which means my car will be repossessed as it's financed, my credit cards are maxed out, late, and over the limit, my credit score (which I struggled and worked so very hard for) went from "Excellent" to "Poor", and the love of my life has left me. Social Services have told me that there is no assistance what-so-ever available for my family. No medical, no emergency housing, nothing. I was told it was due to budget cuts. I have called every where I could find, and am told the same thing each time - "I'm sorry, there just isn't anything we can do to help you."  I receive no child support (never have) and have absolutely no where else to turn. I am now down to absolutely nothing. I just used the last bit of change I could scrounge up to buy some cereal and milk. I have been on my own and have supported myself since I was 14 years old. I have always worked hard, volunteered my time, and tried my best to provide a stable life for my daughter and myself. I understand there are ups and downs in life, and that everything makes you stronger, but this is killing my soul. No matter how bad my life has been, I've always kept my faith and tried my best to stay positive and "keep on keepin' on", but now I'm becoming so weak. I feel like I'm falling down a dark black hole and trying to grab hold of anything, but just keep falling as there isn't anything to grab. I'm afraid that once the sherrifs notice goes on my door to evacuate my home and we are homeless, that social services will then take my daughter from me. She still isn't even aware I lost my job. I've hid all of this from her to try and protect her. She's 10 yrs old and innocent and I hate myself because of all of this. I pray to God everyday and night for a miracle. Please, please, from the depth of my soul HELP ME!

In need of getting home for 3 kids and single mom

  I am a single mom of three girls. I just moved here around the end of July 2006. I came here in hopes of my family having a better life then we have had in years. I have been raising my kids alone for more then 9 years. I do not get child support. The father gets paid cash so he can not be garnished. When I first got here things were great. I broke my elbow within 10 days of being here. After healing enough to start looking for work I began my search. I finally got a job but dont start till the 6th of November (business dont open till then). I will be a waitress. I know the money will be good because of the location and type of resturant. I also have opened a web store for extra income for my girls.  Anyway before I got here a friend ( known since 6/2004) said that the house he lived in was just him. 4 bedrooms 2 livingrooms 3 bath etc. Said the girls and I were more then welcome to stay. Me not wanting a relationship of any sort caused him to change his mind. He said it did not work out like he had hoped it would Told me the begin of Oct that we had till end of mth to move. I do not have the funds to move, no place to move to, and no furniture. I do not want my girls to be homeless. All I need is help getting on my feet and atleast 2 mths taking care of so I have no worries. With christmas coming up. I can only hope and pray someone out there can help my family out of a very bad spot and put on our feet so our hopes prayers and dreams of a better place for us comes true. My kids grades have even come up from low C's to  B+'s, they love it here and so do I. PLEASE help this family in a bad situation out. I would be so greatfull to all to have a home and put on our feet for christmas. Thank you God bless those who help a mom and three very good loving girls out.
