About trinity1971

I live in mchenry il and I am a single mom of three and lost my job a year ago.I am going through a custody battle with my ex who is trying to take the kids from me.I am desperatley trying to do my best to provide for them and would like a stable home for a change. I have previously rented a townhome and was evicted with my children because i couldnt afford to live there anymore.I ewas paying 1500.00 a month. I had to go to the housing authority to seek help with first months rent and security deposit to get in where i currently live with my kids. I have recently lost more income due to change in child support and i am now facing the same thing. The complex wasnt willing to work with me with the rent even though I have been seeking outside help to pay this months rent. they keep trying to force me out of the apartment with no place to go. I am trying to seek outside help with funding to get a new place i can afford on the income i now receive.Please I am desperate and running out of time. If anyone can help i would be eternally grateful.

Coutinued story

hearts that touch so many. As a parentless child, i fear them losing me. I know first hand what happens when parents make bad chioces, and what becomes of the child left behind. Creating a better life is my goal, i will do this taking baby steps, collage full time starts in days, and there is where i will pull them out from our life that sinks slow. While doing this, i will disquize our life, and shield them from the struggle. Put on my poker face, and pretend to know the answers. As i wrote this, i hope other see me fight for our life, you dont know details, we should not have to hear in words, the pain of the roads we travel, why dread on that, we have come so far,  and have been so blessed. Often i feel like the little girl, scared, and unknown what to do, but i keep moving and looking for the answers. 

I wrote this at the begining of collage. Im still here, and looking over this wanted to share with you. Things are still very hard, and at times feel its to hard, but i still have my home by a threed mostly, but with great pride....... jess

I have been supporting my 3 children on a minimal income.  I am behind in my mortgage payment and in jeopardy of foreclosure.  I really could use assistance.  My oldest son's father is 1 year behind on my child support payments.  I am struggling due to lack of decent paying positions.

Hi.  I am a single mother of 3 beautiful children all under the age of 6.  I am and have been doing my best for them all their lives.  But I have recently been laid off.  Now I am struggling tremendously to just make ends meet.  I may half to go and work at Mcdonalds.  My rent is now late.  I car is late.  They are threatening to turn off my electric and we are just about out of oil.  At the worst time of year at that.  I am asking for anyone tha is in a position to help us to please do so.  It is much appreciated.  I don't know if this is even going to work, but I have to try.  My babies need me.  I hope there is someone out there who can please help us.

In need of getting home for 3 kids and single mom

  I am a single mom of three girls. I just moved here around the end of July 2006. I came here in hopes of my family having a better life then we have had in years. I have been raising my kids alone for more then 9 years. I do not get child support. The father gets paid cash so he can not be garnished. When I first got here things were great. I broke my elbow within 10 days of being here. After healing enough to start looking for work I began my search. I finally got a job but dont start till the 6th of November (business dont open till then). I will be a waitress. I know the money will be good because of the location and type of resturant. I also have opened a web store for extra income for my girls.  Anyway before I got here a friend ( known since 6/2004) said that the house he lived in was just him. 4 bedrooms 2 livingrooms 3 bath etc. Said the girls and I were more then welcome to stay. Me not wanting a relationship of any sort caused him to change his mind. He said it did not work out like he had hoped it would Told me the begin of Oct that we had till end of mth to move. I do not have the funds to move, no place to move to, and no furniture. I do not want my girls to be homeless. All I need is help getting on my feet and atleast 2 mths taking care of so I have no worries. With christmas coming up. I can only hope and pray someone out there can help my family out of a very bad spot and put on our feet so our hopes prayers and dreams of a better place for us comes true. My kids grades have even come up from low C's to  B+'s, they love it here and so do I. PLEASE help this family in a bad situation out. I would be so greatfull to all to have a home and put on our feet for christmas. Thank you God bless those who help a mom and three very good loving girls out.
