Single Mom (not in recovery, not a felon, not disabled, just unemployed)
Posted by cdimiceli on 2012-05-01 17:58:09
Iâm going to be a little blunt, because I'm tired and I want to give up so bad, but I can't. I'm better than that and my kids are my motivator. I wake up everyday and remind myself of 2 things :1) Faith is what you have when you all your beliefs are blown to hell. 2) What doesn't kill you makes you stronger -Nietzsche
I am a 35 year old educated, ambitious, head strong woman. I have owned my own business with my soon to be ex. I know what hard work and determination are. I went to private school and I am educated. I value my community and have always given back and will continue to do so. I also know that I have the drive and determination to get myself back on track. I'm not ASKING for a handout, I'm asking for help up! I also know what loss is. I don't have the business, a house or EVEN the car anymore. We lost everything. He bounced back , I didnât. All I have is HOPE, that someone or some program can help me carve a path back to self sufficiency.
It's gone continually downhill.I am amazed at the allotment of programs for both housing and employment for all different walks of life. However, what about those that are just struggling. No hang ups, no record, just struggling and are LOW INCOME. I'm not writing this to make you feel sorry, I'm writing this because I have exhausted possibilities that I have researched both on my own or been given the information to do the work with.
There are people who struggle everyday through no fault of their own. They don't want a hand out, but help up would be a relief. Society doesn't need band-aids they need solutions.
Not every county, city or state program fits everyone's needs.
First of all Section 8 has been closed since BEFORE I left my marriage so that idea could never work. The list has been closed for years. Because I have limited time with my children, I do not qualify for CALWORKS. I have tried getting assistance in every way possible. I had very little unemployment left since I have been struggling to find work. I was delayed for about 3 months because they needed verification and I had to appeal and request a hearing. I have won my appeal but will only receive $91/week and for a short period of time.
I took a project management class through WIA in 2011, and I was able to get CTB benefits. I NEED HELP. I have hit the absolute worst point in my life and still refuse to give up. I have been looking for work and am now HOMELESS.I am in week 3 of staying in an extended stay hotel (paid for by my mother back east, who makes maybe $26,000/yr in PA) I recently sold my car because I needed to pay bills and rent. I have maybe $75 to my name.
The fact that they say there are services for low income/ homeless is frustrating. I say this because there is no category for me. I'm not a drug addict or in recovery. I don't have a mental illness. I wasn't in prison, I donât' even have a RECORD. I can proudly say I've never been arrested or even in the back of a cop car. I'm not a victim of domestic violence and I do not beat my kids. Why aren't there programs in place for single parents struggling to make it? Everyday people that are responsible and respectable. I understand the need to assist those that may not have the capacity to take care of themselves. However, I have a huge problem with the fact that Santa Clara County & all programs (private, govt or state funded) will rehabilitate and reintroduced felons into the community, but if you're poor, homeless, no record, are looking for work, have high intelligence; sorry, you can't get help. This sounds extremely cynical and jaded, but I am a little after going through all I have.
I have been told constantly âI wish I could do something but we don't have any programs to help you.â My favorite reply is: "Yeah and you have done everything. I'm surprised you even knew about all the programs you did"
I have talked to employment counselors, program coordinators, program advocates and case managers, volunteers, just about anyone. The bankruptcy is hindering my chances of securing housing, even if I had employment.
The icing on the cake has to be with food stamps and General Assistance. I qualified for Cal-Fresh. However, at the time I had a car worth $2200. So I wasn't able to get General Assistance. Fast Forward a year later, I HAD to sell my car to pay bills. Now this month when I went for General Assistance, I qualify.
It's a never ending cycle, a constant push down. I can take public transportation to work, but to get around and see my boys and being able to transport them would be extremely difficult, not to mention financially stressing. I have scoured employment books, read articles, searched the library, spent hours online trying to find a job, program, a company, anybody who could be a resource whether for low income assistance or employment.
I can probably tell you about a plethora of services this county (Santa Clara) offers for both income assistance and job services.I am registered with CALJOBS; I know all the career sites and have my resume there. I get interviews, however I am starting to think the bankruptcy from loss of business is holding me back when employers do background check.
I also could teach the business writing class or the resume writing classes they offer at Work2Future, I practically did when I took them. I could do the same at Sacred Heart. I've been to InnVision and EHC. Iâve talked to Sunnyvale Community Services. Boy he was a treat he sounded older then my 80 yr old grandma. When I said I need housing and employment help, he gruffly told me to check the newspaper and hung up. I've called St Josephs in Gilroy. I've talked to a program coordinator at West Valley Community Services. I called the Sobrato Organization hoping they had ties to something and one the employees just by grace of god happened to pick up and take my call. I was able to talk to someone at HIF (they couldn't help)
.
I am responsible, respectable and just want to work, have a place to live, and be able to have my children 50/50. I have no police record. I am not in recovery, nor have I ever had to be in a program
I want to work and am attaching a compilation of ALL my work skills. I would not send this out otherwise, I would tailor it specifically to the job I am applying for.
I used to volunteer as much as I could I like being active in my community and helping others. I'm still about that I believe in PAY IT FORWARD. I believe the good you do comes back to you tenfold and that no matter what is going wrong in your life, someone else is struggling just as much if not more; so be thankful for what you have.
I attend church and was a hospitality volunteer for that as well.
I just need help getting on my feet. I have no family, other than my children here in CA.
I do not want to move back east and be far away from them. I want to work, I want to live again. I want to smile and mean it.
I hate what my life has become and know that I am SO MUCH BETTER THEN THIS.
Please help me : money is fine, but it's only a temporary fix, please help me find a program that can assist me in getting on my feet, direct me to employment, and most of all afford me the opportunity to have my children much more consistently so I can be a mom again.
Thank you
Courtney DiMiceli

ABOUT TO LOSE MY ELECTRIC
Posted by babykatt on 2012-01-17 09:58:49
Anyone that wants to help, I can give you proof of the bill. Also, if you are afraid that I will buy drugs with any money sent, then I can give you my account number and you can send any payment directly to my electric company.( which I don't do drugs anyway)In fact, I would prefer that any funds be made directly to the company. I will set up the paypal just in case though. Any donations or payments will be paid in full with my income tax. Just leave me your name and information.
If you have taken the time to read this long long plee, then thank you and sorry it was so long.
Thank you and God Bless
Single Mother Cancer Survivor Need help to help myself
Posted by LilShaa on 2011-08-12 01:58:38
This downward spiral began, when I was diagnosed with cancer, 10 plus years ago. Instead of being able to gain valuable work experience, I was forced to fight for my life, upon college graduation. The gap on my resume, is not easy to explain away. I have tried to work temporary jobs, and have even worked as a substitute teacher. I would take just any job, but cannot afford to lose life-saving medicine, if my state provided medical benefits were cut, due to a job that would not offer them or the ability to purchase them. I thought subbing would offer me the chance to gain working experience, but I had to stop, due to a custody battle, waged against me, by my vindictive ex and his legal associates. They also waged numerous phony allegations, about me, with various agencies, one of which is the one which oversaw my employment. Despite nothing coming of the allegations, the agency overseeing my employment, sat on the matter/s for years now, which has left me in limbo, with no means to clear my good name, and no income source. This further added to my resume experience gap. It is nothing I can explain to potential employers, either.
The past several years has been difficult with all the medical and legal issues, both mine and my younger child's. My sibling was sent to war around the same time my parent committed suicide. This also cost me financially and mentally. My car was repossessed, destroying my credit rating further. This has hindered my ability to attend interviews, and even bar me from some opportunities, due to poor credit. The icing on the cake- the family court rewarded my ex for quitting a higher paying job. They cut his child support payment in half, for my 6 year old. Recently I had to move into a new place, and now owe money for the deposit. I had to use what little I was trying to save for a car, so I wouldn't end up homeless. My older child was working, too, but was put on bed rest, so we now face another income drop. I hope someone can help with anything, because I just do not know what to do anymore.

Rootbeeralicious, CottonyCandy, Hotlanta!, LatteLove. Just a few of my superlicious addictive flavors.
This is all part of my "dumped by my huband at age 56" starting over strategy. I WANT success. I WANT to make candy lovers ecstatically happy by offering this ONESHOT dessert. And, just to tease you a little bit more, I am working on something called "Cake on a Stick". Don't want a whole peice of cake but craving some sugary sweetness, a little icing, some chocolate and the happiness of cake? I've got it! ToffeeCoffee, StrawberryMint, ChocoRocks, and a bunch of special ocassion creations that will knock your socks off!
Taste tests have proven that my flavors rock and customers will pay premium just to get one. People already contact me thoughout the whole year to beg me to make them. And Christmas?? I can't keep enough coming out of the kitchen. No more hobby for me! I'm ready for business.
Let's get started! As an investor, I'll send you a special edition personalized sucker all for you! Might even name one exclusively in your honor!
Come on! Take a chance and be a SUCKER for my SUCKERS!

Cheated on, no wheres to go and losing my motorcycle. Even a single dollar helps...
Posted by cheatedondad on 2010-09-09 17:58:58
I need help, jobs are not paying enough money to stay afoat or above my means. I was ok until I found out my wife cheated and now we are both seperated but living together because like many others also, we're stuck with what we have and barely getting by to make it work.
I'm not asking for anything more than help to pay off my bike or to make the payments ahead a few months to hopefully find a way on my own to keep paying this bike off.
I did it myself, but giving it back is a terrible option, everything from garnesishment to liens. If you feel like helping, send a donation to my paypal account. anything helps or could help. I'm in the hole $9.5k or $285 a month.
After everything is said and done, all i got left is my bike and credit now. Be nice to keep them both or at least sell the bike to someone for whats owed on it. of course no one is emailing on it or calling. Its a 2008 suzuki boulevard c90 and i haven't got one call on it.
figures though, when i see harley davidsons advertised too for around $5k right now. the world or at least the usa is hurting and all people want to do is work, but theres no paying jobs out there for grunts.
anyhow, if you want to help... please do.
thank you so much

Need a little help
Posted by richbell on 2010-07-19 21:58:58
I dont have a real big sad story to say, I am a single father of
2 beautiful Kids and we just bought our first home. We have been
a little overwhelmed with all kinds of hidden repairs that added up to
a little bit more cash than predicted. So to make a long story short we are really strapped for cash. The monthly bills are coming real quick and starting to fall a little bit behind.
And to put the icing on the cake we just got our welcome tax! Another 1878.00 that we need to find. So a little or any help would be great!
Thanks
