Posted in Sole Provider on Apr 6, 2007... modified on Apr 7, 2007
I am the sole provider for my son and baby sister who is a full time nursing school. I just graduated myself and since I wasn't a traditional student I didn't qualifty for any grants or scholarships. I came out of school $35,000. I am the only one paying the bills and our rent is $950 a month which takes up one of my paychecks. I get paid twice a month. Our electrictty has been turned off twice in the past three months. My divorce was very difficult and I lost everything and I do mean everything. I'm having to pay all the bills and it is hard since there is more month than money at the end of the month. I don't live an extravagant lifestyle, I just go to work and church. When I was married, I helped my husband build his business and he is doing quite well. I don't get alimoney or child support because my son is 18 and works part time and attends school part-time He does what he can to help, but we do without alot of the time. Rameon noodles are our meals at least three times a week.
When I was married and had money, I used to anonymously send $1000 to other in financial crisis in our community and I really miss that. I'm not used to asking for help and my credit is shot since I had to file bankruptcy after the divorce. I'm am behind on all my bills and my student loans have been consolidated but run $450/month. That doesn't count food, gas, or other necessities of life.
Any donation would be greatly appreciated and God bless any one who can help. Are there any angels out there?
