I am a sinlge mother of one 2 year old and another one due in november. I am attempting to go back to school to get my GED & am currently living on TANF & Foodstamps, bouncing back and forth between friends and families homes & shelters. I cannot do this anymore. I need a stable environment for my children. I need a home and i need help financially while i am trying to better myself and teach my children to better themselves and not end up how i did. This is almost impossible for me to do. I have searched for grants online and it seems like they are all for either minorities or disabled people. I just need a break/some help mabey...if anyone knows of any grants available to single mothers or single mothers w/ADHD...i would love to hear about them. thanks :)
I am 22 years old and have a beautiful 2 1/2 year old daughter that is the light of my life and another little angel on the way in November. I am a musician & singing is the one thing that makes me feel good when all else fails. I am a very happy, free-spritited person that can make something good out of all of the bad things that have happened to me. I have had many jobs that range from Bartender to waitress to cashier to factory worker. I need a better job. And am currently unemployed due to my high-risk pregnancy. I am currently a single mother w/no promising place to live. I left my boyfriend shortly after i found out i was pregnant because he beat me up and put me in the hospital. So, For the past 6 months, i have jumped from the Genesis shelter, to friends & families homes. And i need a stable environment for me and my children. Next month i will be going back to school to get my GED and i want to have a place to live while i do this. I am currently living on TANF and it just doesnt pay the bills, let alone pay for a place to live. So i have been searching for programs, grants, and sponsors on the internet religiously to find a way to pay for housing while going back to school, and im not having much luck. I am a good person who has just fallen into some bad luck here for the past year and im having a real hard time gettin back on my feet. I just need some help.
