About lea35

I am living in a small town that has limited resources or employment. I have t  be employed forty -miles form home. The pay is too low to aford gas back and forth and has put me in  a deeper hole. I am barely keeping my head above water with the expenses of the necessities of water bill, gas bill, electric. It has been a very hot summer and my bills are steady rising. I am unable to continue to get by with the small amount of funds I am making. I have been having to call in to work for missing my shift several days in a row because the gasoline expense I can no longer afford. I was not able to purchase my children clothing for school, because the layaway I have was too expensive to purchase. My son is in need of surgery and unfortunately the insurance company has not responde back through chips with any status , so we are havign to drag it out and he is in pain on a daily basis. He is a young child and I hate to see him suffer when the economy is not right at this time. If there is anyone out there that has a heart or understand how finances can cause destruction in soemone 's life please allow your heart to have some kind of assistance.

 Hello, and thank you for taking the time to read this.
I have recently discovered that i am pregnant, and am having difficulties trying to explain to the people who have no understanding of the importance of being given the chance and the gift of life, that i am willing to fight for this baby, and am keeping it.
However, i am being set apart and discriminated against, as the people with whom i am currently employed, have cut my hours.

I am a completely independent individual, i can take care of myself, but it is udeniably inevitable that i am in desperate need of financial assistance at this moment. I am negative $600 in my account, my rent checked bounced along with everything else wachovia had put on hold. They are unwilling to refund anything as i have been overdrawn before in the past.
Being under a considerable amt of stress what with my employers and my financial debt, i had to go to the emergency room for hyperemesis gravidarum, or severe vomiting.
I have already undergone the pain and heartbreak of one miscarriage, and am trying to avoid going through that awful moment again.

I have been looking for another job, one where i will be able to progress with bonuses, and pay raises, so that i can ensure mine and the child's future. If anyone out there has any advice or help resources please i would love to talk to you.

Victim of domestic violence in need of financial help, please read

I left my son's abusive father in October of 2006 and have been supporting my son and myself for these past months.  I have employment however with the cost of hiring a lawyer and lack of recieving child support I have created quite a debt.  I am sinking further and further in the hole as I try to catch up on bills and legal matters. I tried to go to court without legal representation and quickly found that an appointed attorney was not beneficial to my needs.  His father hired a lawyer that got him off  of the assault charges (of which I had pictures).  I have been in an undisclosed location because the law enforcement officers that worked my case feel that in light of his actions and threats he is a dangerous man to both our child and me.  I felt I had to hire a lawyer as he was trying to take custody of our son.  This was not an option for me, so here I am in debt beyond any repair that I am capable of fixing. The social service department has turned me away because I am employed, I have no credit to use for loan or credit card applications. My situation gets worse everyday.  I do not have rent for this month.  I have exhausted all of my resources (I have nothing left to sell). Please help me get back on my feet. I will be fine once this hole is filled.  I have nothing except love of my child to help me through this time in our lives. He sometimes asks  to do things that we simply cannot afford, I should be able to buy him an ice cream when he asks (which is rare because even my 6 year old understands that we have NO money).  I am not one to ever pull the "help me" card, but noe I feel that since I am that kind of person I have really hurt myself and my son by being too proud to ask for help and now it may be too late. Thank you for reading my story and plea. I know there are people out there in much more need that I but I hope somewhere there is someone who can help me.
