My car has also been breaking down and has like 3 problems that will cost me over $300 to fix but I dont have that money but I need my car to get to work and other places. It shuts off when I'm driving.

I am a single mother of a 14 yr old, and on SSI.. My husband kicked me out and I need help. Some friends let me move in with them but they are struggling. They almost lost their apartment. Now it's elec, and we had lost phone and internet, although due to lying to the cable company they were able to get phone and cable back on.

Over the last few weeks I thought my brakes were going out, although it turns out its the rooter Which means I not only have to replace the brakes I have to replace those as well.

I applied for food stamps but it took almost all month to get them. I spent all of my SSI helping out around here, And now they are expecting the two kids in the house *my daughter being one of them* to get jobs and give 100 percent of what they make to the house. My daughter is 14 and if she gets a job I feel she should be able to keep at least 30 percent of what she makes. 

There are five people living in a one bedroom townhouse, where no one gets time alone. There is only one person working which is the man of the house, although since he doesnt have a car, he has issues getting to work esp since now my car is not driveable. His work is as needed work, and so he doesnt work every day.

 I called a few places today about moving into them, though with one the first month is free, although there is the deposits.. 385 for deposit, 285 for legal, and 80 for water *which is non refundable* 

My problem is, it is going to cost me 125 give or take 25 dollars to fix my car, and I only get 606.60 a month in SSI. I am in need of any help someone can give me, Pay for the parts for my car, help pay the deposits, or help getting things we need when we move in.. Toliet papers, shampoo, body soap, pads for my daughter, cleaning supplies, and so forth.. Anything would be appericated. I have a paypal account, of if you would perfer to send directly to the landlord then I will be more then happy to give you any information you would like. As for my car, I can give you the make and model, and you would be able to order it online, and have it sent to the store where I could pick it up. 

It is going to be rough for me, I know this as my rent is going to be more then half of my SSI. Although my foodstamps will go up cause then I have bills which now, the people I am staying with wrote a letter saying I dont pay anything. So I got the lowest amount allowed 220 a month.

 I put all that into the house along with paying them money, them using my car and gas. Helping put odds and ends into the house, and before getting the foodstamps I paid for alot of the food that came into the house.

I have been without money for almost a week, I have two scripts I cant even get afford cause I simply dont have the money. Even though there is a total of 6 meds I only am worried about two. My pain meds, and my anixtey meds. I have tried contacting anyone and everyone I can think of, and no one can help me,cause my husband wont file separation papers so in the eyes I am still married even though we aren't living together. I am really worried about how this is affecting my daughter, she needs her own space and here she can not have that. So if anyone can offer help, or send me to someplace that can help I will be forever grateful.

After seeing some other peoples problems, reality sets in again that eveyone has problems in some kind of way. They just are presented differently based on that person and where they are at that time in their life.  I am a student, who just wants to graduate but it is hard. I have so many problems financially, but no one would know, because I know these hard times won t be for long. Everyone is struggling these days. I have proof of all my hard times. I have student loans, credit card debt, but not as much as the average person. Car payment, car insurance, rent and I am behind in all except rent. I am so ready to start my career. I am taking 18 hours a semester so I can hurry up and graduate. I have car problems. 800 numbers calling me at least ten times a day because I know what they want if I answer, and regardless of me telling them I don t have, they still will not care. My refund from school is my best income every August and January, but that goes to rent. I try to play the lottery but, why spend money on the ticket when I can barely afford gas, maybe a person who is more fortunate is a better odd than 1 in a million. I don t know if this should be long or short. I just need help. I don t spend money on anything but gas, and grocery food. If, I could receive help what would I do with the money I received.  I would try to pay the rest of my car loan off first, that is must. My credit has been damaged so the credit card debt could wait, I m already in the 500's and I know 5000 credit card debt is not alot compared to other people. If i received more than I needed I would help those doing the same thing I'm doing because I know this is real, and Oprahs big give a way really showed how you can help people in ways you probably couldn t understand. Thank you for anyone who took the time to read this and ponder. I was desperate enough to set up a pay-pal account. Tough times lead to measures like these. Thanks again.

I'd like to start off by saying, I'm not one for asking for help, but I'm down and out on my luck.  Back in Febuary I was in an accident and wrecked my Chevy Blazer.  I bent my frame in 4 different places, and since then, I've been having the worst luck with the car I bought.  I'm a single mom, I work, I go to college, I pay my bills.  I'm not a welfare case.  But recently, I've spent more money fixing my car, then I paid for it.  A week ago I put $240 dollars into it, and today, after getting back from class, I went to go pick up my daughter, and my car won't start.  Its the same problem that was supposedly fixed last week.  I don't know what to do.  I just would like not to have car problems.  If anyone can help me.. please do so.. I'd greatly appreciate anything that is thrown my way.
