My exhusband left me and my four girls in the year 2000 not long after i had my baby. I have been working for the government for 15 years now. He had never worked i was the only one supporting my family. I found out when he left us that his girlfriend was pregnant. I moved here to Las Vegas with my children got a job transfer. The year 2007, he came to Las Vegas and took my girls and we had a verbal agreement that he will return them to Las Vegas but never did. A month later he went and applied for welfare in California and married his lover and now the state of California put me on child support. My second oldest daughter came back to live with me and i can hardly support her because of my child support. They are taking 80% of my wages every paycheck. I am struggling and trying to get help.

In the area where I live, there are shelters for women that offer a very safe environment for single mothers & children. They will give you about 90 days to stay there. Maybe there is a place like this in your area. Mental abuse is definately a form of abuse, as well as emotional, physical, sexual, and even financial abuse. I have 2 children and I know that this would be difficult but it's really just taking that first step and getting free that's the hard part. After you do, you feel lighter and begin to slowly gain back the you that has gradually been taken away since you met this person. You can do this. Search for resources. We have this *211 number that wecan call in my area and it is a hotline for local resources of almost any kind.
I'm a single mother of nine children. I had to quit my job to take care of my mother who has lung, brain and spinal cancer. I receive foodstamps. I also receives disability for one child. With all the children that I have all I get is $947.00 per month for foodstamps and that isn't enough with the food prices going up, and every last one of my kids can eat! I had to move out of my home because I couldn't afford the rent anymore. I thank God everyday for what I do have, but that's not helping me everytime I need the help, and I've been needing a lot help lately. Everytime I look up the informaton about grants I'm never successful. Can somebody please help? If so my e-mail address is kristylewis97@yahoo.com
I am a single mother to 3 children and i'm unemployed but going to college fulltime. I am in need of assistance for help with bills. I currently get food stamps and TANF but it is only $130 a month. I go to school an hour away and have a hard time trying to get gas. If someone could please help me find the resources to help me out with this, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you very much!!
I want to relocate from my husband and be on my own. After years of mental abuse and low self esteem I am ready to make a clean break. I have called so many places to get help but come up short everytime. I can't go on like this. what programs are out there for a mother of 3 who wants to move but can't?
i am a20yr old expecting my first child i am looking for free grant information i am currently living with family with no income or transportation i do not get any help from the dad an im moving to illinois if anyone has any information please contact me at welsbels@hotmail.com
I completely understand. I feel as though we shouldn't be charged to get the free information and take it out of the grant money if they planned on giving it to us.
I am a 27 year old single mother of a 3 year girl and 7 1/2 months pregnant with a little boy. I am a real estate agent and have had no luck in the business for the past 3 years leaving me with odd jobs, now that i am so close to having my baby i am currently unemployed until the baby arrives. My mom has been kind enough to allow us to live with her, however we are in dire need of our own place. I do have a mortgaged house that is in my name, my ex fiance was living in and trying to remodel but he has abandoned the house and is no longer paying the mortgage. he also left the house unlivable with so many unfinished projects. I would use any money i could get for grants to finish the house and pay the mortgage down so as i would have a home for my kids to grow up. I really do not want to lose the home but at this point it is beyond my control with out help. Please consider my situation

I am a single mother of 2 beautiful children...a 2yr old girl and a 13 year old boy..my daughter's father was phisically abusive and I finally called the cops on him last year in october, he has been in jail ever since but he will be released Sept. 2nd..I lost everything because of his controlling ways and jelousy, and abuse..I lost my job because I was always showing up crying..i was a personal trainer and I was really good at it..then I, was evicted from my apartment because I couldnt afford the rent anymore. My kids and I went to live with my grandparents and now we are staying in a family shelter...I a cant get into an apartment because of my bad credit and eviction..I found another job and work full time but I cant find a place to live!! I love my kids and dont want them to pay for my bad decisions...I wish there were more options for single mothers to get a house for our kids....its sooooo difficult to find any help!! If ANYONE KNOWS WHERE I CAN GET INTO A HOUSE OR APARTMENT WITH BAD CREDIT AND AN EVICTION PLEASE LET ME KNOW..I would relocate for a nice home for my kids!!! i wish everyone the best of luck...and God Bless
If you want the real low down on grants call the national grant conference company. 1-800-648-9195 this number will get you to them. I don't know if they can help you if you don't go to one of their confernces but I know I signed up in 2003 it cost me $1000 I have yet to find a grant that I can have access to. I am a single mother who also had to relocate. Only my own resources have gotten me a home. It is hard. There may be something out there if you are of a minority then there may be more available for you. My membership is on vacation at this time but I can ractivate it at anytime and shut it off again just like that because I have never benefited from the program. They will always give you assistance in looking for grants until you actually qualify for one. They might give you some good info if nothing else.
Most states have energy conservation programs if you get a house. to help with food go to the church. Sometimes churches can help you locate a home if you ask and if you become involved. Catholic charities have provided housing, schooling, food, clothing and even a car so you can get to work if you are a member. I haven't taken advantaGE OF THAT BUT i KNEW SEVERAL women who did and they had it made! They even got college tuition and daycare paid for. Good luck in your venture I trully hope your lives will be better.
I am in a similar predicament, however slightly more fortunate. I am a single 25yr old mom of a 6yr old. My income is fairly low. I have no credit, only some college education(i quit college to take care of my dying grandmother) and a jerk of an ex who cant keep a job so i receive no child support. I am living with my step-grandfather who has been out of work for 6 months and a great-aunt with diabetes who has never worked a day in her life. She provides the afterschool care for my daughter.
The one thing I do have is a plot of land that my father left me after he recently died, near east texas. It is NOT worth much, less than half my yearly income. I'd like to build on this lot though so i can finally have my own home. Does ANYONE have any information for free grants etc that could help me build something small on this land???? Someone has to know of something,
I'd rather not go through government housing, I am not a pity story. I am simply asking for help building a house and I'll take it from there. A small grant of $10-$20, ooo should suffice to build a decent two-bedroom in tx. I'm not even sure it'd be that much.
Anyways, ANY and ALL information would be greatly appreciated!!!!
i am a single mother of a 15 month child and have another baby due in august and I am staying with family for a little while, but I am trying to get some kind of grant so I can get some help for a home for myself and my children.
