My last hope.tiffany hendel says (23 Nov '11)I need some advice on how I can get help. The past 5 years have been terrible for me and my daughter. Ive been a single mom for the past 19 years-one daughter. I get NO help from anyone, no family members or her father.my mother threw me out when i was pregnant w/my daughter so ive been homeless before and its a scary thing.Ive tried social services and Ive been told i dont qualify. im at the end of my rope. I cant find a job and I struggle so much, i think ive hit depression at its alltime low. I cant even get dressed anymore in the mornings.
I just got served with an eviction notice from my landlord, cant pay my bills and my car keeps dieing on me.I can do it anymore.
I havent been able to give my daughter a Christmas cuz I keep hitting dead ends. Last night, I heard my daughter crying silently in her room and it broke my heart.I walked into her room to check on her and she was crying so hard, she couldnt breathe-she didnt want me to see.We're both so scared to death. She dont deserve this. Do u know what it feels like to not be able to afford not even an outfit to give to ur daughter and wake up on Christmas morning to not one present under the tree? I cant even afford to get a tree! I cant sleep. I cant function and Im so sick to my stomach. I know shes scared. WE BOTH ARE. Please help.9Filed Under: Questions

cuz when you hit rock bottom the only way is up : )....Keep the faith Ladys. Its ok. We will with faith. Believe that.
Tiffany.. I'm so sorry to hear you are going thru all this. I see it everyday and sadly.. it's only getting worse in our country. In fact.. I lost my good paying job in July and now I'm back working part time for minimum wage again.. in a hotel that has a family of four living there right now who are barely getting by. The lady just told me her story yesterday that they got evicted from their rental home.. cuz they couldn't make ends meet.. she's not work cuz she has to take care of her 4 year old.. and he works at Giant grocery store 'only' part time. They can't have Christmas for their kids.. as all money has to go to their living expense at the hotel.. but they are considered for welfare health insurance and food stamps.. so I guess that helps. Sadly.. I can't get health insurance because I am considered to make too much @ 7.50 an hour. It's very frustrating to see our country going into a downward spiral... and it's started so very long ago.. it didn't happen overnight. When our hardworking men lost their jobs here at Dana Corp.. steel industry back when I was a kid.. and companies started being sold into other countries.. is where it all started to fall apart : /
The best that I can do for this couple living at the hotel is to get their childeren a lil something for Christmas. I sure hope ppl are kind to you as well : )
How come they don't consider you for public assistance? Do you make too much? All I can say is.. keep your chin up and keep on fighting the good fight.. cuz when you hit rock bottom the only way is up : )
Sending prayers for you.. God Bless you and your child.
Thank you so much, TammyRay. God knows, I need it. Bad.
where there's a will there's a way..never give up..I too prayed for you and your daughter..You will overcome your struggles, and Tiffany you CAN do it.. I hope you find the answers and assistance you need..
Triple L Blessings..
I did call everyone and anyone I could possibly think of. Either I get no response or I hear "we dont have it." I even posted an ad on Craigslist.
That is crazy (calvary chapels don't have memberships so you could try them)....find a different church. Call a bunch of them and see who is willing. Surely there must be 1 church in your area willing to do what would please God.
Thank you, Laura. I already did that. Church wont help because they said "Im not a member."
I am so sorry to hear that you are going through such rough times. The only real suggestion that I can think of is to go to a local church and ask for their help. They often have food and clothing at the very least and may be able to help you find a program to assist you with your living situation. All I can offer is prayer and I will pray for you.
