Words of advice, assistance, anything would help me right now @:*}

Hi,

I am a single parent to a 6 year old little girl.  Her father and I have been seperated for over 3 years now and is completely out of our lives, which is somewhat of a good thing since he was nothing but drama when he was around. Anyhow, I recently became unemployed due to circumstances beyond my control; my daughter got a stomach virus and two days after I returned to work, I came down with a severe case of strept throat. In all, I was out of work a total of 2 weeks, during which the entrire time I kept in contact with my supervisor.  When I was ready to return to work my supervisor advised me that due to my absence, she would need to speak to the owner of the company and that she would contact me as soon as she spoke to him.  She left me hanging for approximately a week and a half until she finally gave me an answer!

With all that being said, I am now almost 2 months behind on my rent and my car note.  I've been trying to get help through agencies where they have a lottery type drawing for rental assistance but still no luck.  I'm also waiting to hear back from unemployment (the entire process takes a little over a month). I've had no luck finding a decent paying job, which I've never had a problem with before...It's really hard right now to keep my spirits high, but I am trying! I just need a little help...advice, assistance...anything at all. I'm so stressed out that I can't sleep at night, I have anxiety attacks and I'm just not the same at all.

My worst fear is losing everything, my car, my apartment and being homeless with my daughter...

No, I haven't but I'll definitely look into that. Thank you so much!

Just a suggestion have you tried your local churches?  I think some churches give help to families in need of rent assistance.  Check your local churches I will be praying for you.
