I am a single mother of a 5 year old son, his father has never beenin his life and never wanted to see him. He cannot be located to get nay child support or anything, I have tried and never gotten anything. I do work and have worked for the same company for 5 years, I am a secratary for a school district, so I dont make alot of money. I am able to pay my bills, and give us a place to live barely, sometimes the bills are late. But my vehicle starts some days and some days it doesnt. i dont have the money to buy food, thats where are main problems are, i buy food we dont get our bills paid for, then we dont have a place to live. but the summer is here and the bills are going to get higher, where I cant even pay for them. I cannot affor the gas to get back and fourth. My son has to have batteries for his hearing aid, which I dont let him use all the time so I can save the batterys for when they are needed. I just need help to back it all the way through the end of the month. I did apply for foodstamps and they allowed me ten dollars so the last year I have gotten ten dollars and its used. I just need help, i dont fit in the poor group because I do have a job, I just cant stretch the money to last the hole month. My son dont usually get to eat much for breakfeast, but we try to stretch all the food. I will only eat lunch most of the time. So i can just feed him. We are happy though, and I will get it done. It would be nice if I had someone that could help. I got into debt thats where all my problems started, because when I lived with his dad, I took care of his three children and he worked, but I had great credit, so I got a brand new truck in my name and whatever else we needed or thought we did. Then our house burned down, and I used credit cards to buy the kids clothes and school supplies and christmas presents for everyone. Then after the house burned down he quit working and wouldnt get a job, so I went and was sub teaching, wasnt making much. Everything just got farther and farther behind. I took a large loanout to pay everything off except truck and let it go back, and I just cant get caught up.
