I am a single mom with two boys. I raised my sons since they were 2weeks old and 18 months old. My ex was verbally and physically abusive to me. He was an alcoholic. One day he just left (Thank God) He has not seen my sons since they were born. I am both mother and father to them. I finally pulled myself up and began to support my children. I became unemployed in May 2009, and still have not found work. We were evicted in July 2009, for not being able to pay. Many of our belongings were left, including baby books etc., because we had no where to live. I had to go onto Welfare, which is a degrading experience. I receive only $200/month. Sometimes I can not even wash the clothes. I am 3 months behind in rent and utilities. I get more and more depressed everyday. I feel like such a failure. I want to support myself and my sons. I can not afford summer clothes and shoes for my children or me. I look for work daily with no success. My boys have given up so much and have been through SO much. They are good, nice, well adjusted boys. I DESPERATELY need a car to find work and get back and forth to work. My son is 17 and also is trying to find a part time job after school. He also needs a car to get to work. I hope someone can help us. Having cars would help SO much!
Thank you VERY much!
Elaine
