Please help me. I am a single mom of 2 wonderful boys. I recently kicked my abusive husband out of my home. I can't work because my kids aren't in daycare yet. I go to school fulltime online at my local community college for computer networking and securities but am only in my freshman year. My car just died and I have no money to have it repaired but it is so old that it would be cheaper for me to just get a new bomb for a couple of months to drive around. I have applied for assistance but what little I get every month from my sons's deadbeat father is too much for the state to help me. I was working before but lost my job because I have no one to watch my kids now. Their father is doing his best to get me kicked out of school. I don't know what to do and because I was isolated from people and my family for the past 8 years I have no family to help and no friends either. I am doing everything I can to get my kids into daycare but these things take time and money. I just need a small miracle right now until things start to get better for me. I plan on going to work as soon as i can but like i said....it is going to take time. I am not one of these people who isn't doing anything asking for handouts....I am trying my best and making the most of what I have and what I can get but sometimes, it doesn't work out that way. Please someone help me.
