single mother of 2, financial hardship
#1
Closed mouths don’t get fed, right?

I’m a struggling, single mother of a 7 year old and a 9 month old. I’m behind on pretty much all my bills, up to my ears in debt and can’t seem to find employment. Unfortunately, I don’t receive child support to help provide for my kids. I was let go from my job due to not having child care when I needed it; I was either having to leave work early or calling in because I got bailed on last minute. Child care is still an issue and I can’t find a job that would work with me. Also, not having means of transportation is a big issue in finding a job as well. I don’t know what else to do, I’ve tried applying for remote work but end up not having the equipment that is required for the job. I never pictured my life the way it is right now. I never pictured myself struggling as much as I’m struggling right now. It’s stressful and depressing to say the least. School’s starting in less than a month and my son needs new shoes, school supplies and clothes. My daughter needs diapers and wipes, which I’m making what I have stretch as much as I possibly can; but they can only stretch so far, I cannot and will not leave her in wet/soiled diapers just because I want to save the little money I can get my hands on. We may be the poorest we’ve ever been, but I do all those online survey sites and whatever to make sure that we can keep up with our hygiene at the very least. SNAP and WIC is such a blessing to us right now too; I don’t know how I’d be feeding them if I didn’t have those resources. It sucks to have to be the person that begs for money online, but I’m out of options. I’d be truly grateful for anything during this time.
