In dire need, need urgent assistance.

I am a mother of two very young children, my husband and I both work, however I recently had to quit one job, because I wasn't making enough to pay for childcare. I just got hired yesterday at a new job, but during my time of unemployement we feel behind on bills and were not able to make Mays rent.  The first is rounding the corner and we will owe rent again, I know I can't pay it.  According to the government assistance program we do not meet the income requirements to get emergancy aide.  They don't consider in that debts and bills.  We have exhausted all our funds, and I am not sure how I am going to feed my children, my husband doesn't get paid until next friday, and there is barely any gas in my car for us to get to work.  We are even trying to sell our car and get something less inexpensive, we've had some hard luck.  If anyone can help please email me at camerina_luv@hotmail.com

Thank you.

Cammie, it is Stephanie again. I don't know if it will help but I would certainly try any food pantry sources around your area for food. I also would go down to the local social service office and apply for emergency food stamps for your family. As far as rent goes, I am not sure what agencies are available in your town, but I would certainly call to the social service office and ask, they should be able to recommend something. Is it possible to discuss the situation with your landlord and make arrangements to get caught up as your paychecks become more regular now that you are at work again? I will pray for your situation. I am in a like situation as far as bills and rent are concerned so I certainly know how you are feeling. I was denied food stamps for 6 months because they did not believe my youngest daughter lived with me and so, I spent my entire bank balance on food and bills this last winter, which is one of the reasons I am where I am at now. I will certainly keep you in my prayers. Stephanie.
