I am in a horrible place. I have been paying on my electric bill a little at a time. I was not recieving a bill due to computer problems at the company. I however continued to pay what I could. I just received a shut of notice for a little over $2000. I don't make that kind of money. I clean for a few people on my own. I only make about $700 a month. I have 2 young children and I am so scared that my electric will be shout off. I applied for emergency assistance through my local dhs. I was denied because my kids do not live with me 100% of the time. I have them 3 1/2 days a week. I know if I get my electric sut off, I won't be able to have my kids. I am trying so hard to be a good mom and take care of my bills. And now I am scared that I won't be able to provide. I am trying so hard and I feel I am failing my children. I do what I can. I am always looking for more work to be a better provider. It has been such a hard year, seperating from my husband, losing my income, not having my kids with me every single day. I need help and I don't know where else to turn. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

 Me and my family are having some problems we have been making it by on little odds and ends jobs, and of course I feel as though this is my fault because in 2007 I was hit by a car and had to have a shoulder surgery and this has had me out of work my doctor will not release me to go back to work because my shoulder popped back out and now I have to try to find away to pay for the surgery again. Then three months ago my husband was told that he know longer had a job. Now we have an electric bill that is 2 months behing and a water bill that is 2 moths behind and now as of January 1,2009 we are 800.00 dollars behind on our rent. We have worked so hard in order to get this far sine the storm to have everything go so well, then everything just falling apart just in a snap. It is like we can not catch up in order to stay ahead, and this is causing problems between us because I feel that it is all me and it  is really starting to bother my three young children. I just need 200.00 for electric and 120.00  for the water bill

I have never done something like this so public before. 

Let me start by saying, I don't think my situation is critical like a lot of the people who need help here.  My heart goes out to you all right now because I know how it is.  I've known how it is to struggle for most of my life.  I'm usually too proud to ask for any help but here goes.

I am a single mother of a 10 year old wonderful boy.  He is the light of my life and I do everything for him.  But he is not the reason for my financial predicament.  I have a pretty stable job but the pay barely makes it.  I have benefits and I've been there for 8 years.  I hate it but it pays some of the bills.  I am in my current financial crisis because I am a horrible manager of my money.  I have no savings to immediately get to in times of crises.  I live in a great neighborhood so that my son can go to a highly rated school and so that his pick up service can get to him and I can get to work 20 minutes away.  I've designed my whole life around my son you see.  But with better neighborhoods come higher rent prices.  Most of the three years that I have been here, I have been able to take care of my rent.  But this month I am $600.00 dollars short.  I live in a one-bedroom apartment that rents for $853.00/month so that he can go to his current school.

I choose to buy school clothes and supplies for my son for the new school year and prepare for an oncoming possible hurricane here in Texas.  Usually I don't buy any new clothes unless I absolutely have too.  I don't have it in my budget to do so. This left me with a deficit and with my pay, it doesn't take much for me to go into the negative.  Now I'm in big trouble and I don't know if I can pay double rent next month to cover this month's and next month's rent plus late fees. 

This isn't the only bill I am late on but it is the most important as of right now.  I am late on others, i.e. car note, lights.  

I am not a horrible person and I do intend to pay all bills I have in arrears as soon as I can.  My mother used to ask me why I couldn't manage my money.  Now she is out of a job and I have to help her.  Plus she is raising my nephew because my sister walked out on him and I have to help raise him too.  The problems keep coming and there never seems to be a break, a breather just to at least break even.  Things aren't meant to be this hard are they?  This is absolutely depressing!   My son, my family doesn't deserve this struggle.  We all don't.  It's not fair that I work 10-12 hours a day and some weekends but get the same pay and the struggles just keep on coming.  I pay my taxes, I go to school, I've realized my mistake in having a child out of wedlock and have not had more to futher complicate my situation.  But when does it EVER END!!!!

Sometimes it just doesn't seem worth it to wake up anymore.  WHY?!?  I don't want to be here if it is this hard.  I just don't know where to turn.  Help me please?!?!

Words of encouragment, let me know it will be alright and this too shall pass.  Tell me it will all get better and I will see a financial breakthrough.  Tell me I won't have to think about getting groceries for the month because another creditor is knocking down my door and it is too stressful to even freakin eat!  I don't leave the house, I go days without caring for myself, I have negleted to care for my family like I should, my house is a mess and my life is in shambles.

Please anyone help me....

Thanks for reading my post.  To all of the other other posters, I hope you all could be helped.

Why should you pay Kevin Trudeau (free government money they don't want you to know about) or Matthew Lesko ( the question mark guy) money to find out what we already know?
