Cooling Tags

I am ashamed to that it has come to this. I need help so badly it seems so unreal... I don't know how it go this bad...
I am a 25 years old and I have a 2 year old, who brings such happiness to me. I rent a house for $300.00 a month. seem good deal right. That's what I thought while I was pregnant with my son. I had to move out of a apartment complex because they upped the rent to $850.00 a month for a 1bed/1bath and I still had to pay all the utilities. That was coming out way to high for me, know I had a little on on the way. I canceled my contract 3 months before it was up and I go A huge penalty bill for that, but I had no choice. I packed every thing I owned and move to a really really bad part of the city. It was 2am so I just went in with a blanked and a pillow and crashed on a couch that was left behind by some Tweakers. When I woke up I started to bawl. The front door was not Even a front door, it was a temp door that you find a a construction site. Th wall between to living room and kitchen was gone and the support beams were being held by a 2x4, The ceiling was sagging. the kitchen had water damage and the celling was dripping black water. The counter tops was pieces of plywood with wallpaper nailed to it. The bath hall bathroom was nasty like "stuff" all on the tub side wall and spoons that looked burnt? not sure on that but there were needles there. the three rooms not so bad a little drywall work and done. that master bath (if that was what was supposed to be) was backed up black mold? and something dead int the shower part. I called the lad lord and he said "you signed to contract knowing what was wrong". I reminded him of what he told me you said a LITTLE bit of work, Like little patches here and there... he told me you signed it and it said you were to fix up the house for part of the rent and pay 300 for the last bit. fine any how. the whole time I have been here it has be fixing on the house and trying to nurse a baby and work to pay the bills. 2 years down the line the roof leaks every time it rains, I landlord was so kind to replace toe swamp cooler for an AC. That gave me a $900.00 bill, because the house has so many cracks and leaks, it was cooling the out side world too. The hall bathroom tub has a cracked pipe under it and the wall around the spigot started to degrade. the cracked pipe leaks in to the master bathroom and floods part of the master bedroom. I could not pay my gas bill so I had to turn it off, but I boil our bath water to bathe. Work has slowed down so bad and I used all my unemployment to barely keep my head above the water. Now that it is gone... my rent is backed up to 1200.00 I still have to pay 900.00 for electric. I applied for food stamps but budgets had been cut back for the state that I get 150.00 for the month. so I applied for WIC and it gives us a little bit (two gal of milk, a loaf of bread, and 6.00 worth of veggies along with the cheese and peanut butter) I went and got a food box but there was not much ( a bit of pork, 6 mystery cans, and crunchy hamburger buns) all this was to last us for the month. I had to cut back to one meal a day so my son can have his 3 meals and 2 snacks. but lately I have gone with out eating but only once every two days. It hurts bad to do that. I lost 50lbs from this, I mean I looked at it positively, I kinda needed it. but my clothing dont fit any more, they hang on my body or fall off my waist and Now that winter is coming along... I cant get fall/winter clothing for my son, I am okay, I guess I have coats that work for me, He dose not fit any thing that he had last winter. I feel like I am a horrible mother, that cant even get her child clothing and I cant lose our home even tho it is old, run down, leaky, and falling apart. It is still a place that we can be safe for the elements of the outside world. I Have tried asking my mother to help us but she is having a hard time, too.
I am sorry to bother and ask y'all for some help. I am so very sorry, But I have to do what I can to help my son, so he dose not have to worry about when his next meal is or if he is going to be warm enough. I want him to say innocent as long as possible. No child should have to grow up so fast and leave their childhood behind. He is to young to know how harsh and hard the real world is. I want to see him smile over the smallest things at life, It makes all this worth it... for him. Please anything will help us. I will be so ever thankful and know that there still are people out there that have a heart and would show it to the world. Thank You for your time and Thank You for being so kind enough to read this. Thank You from the bottom of my heart.

First off, I was aware of these types of websites until I started to search the web for financial help. And, I'm not really one to just put myself out there like this. But with struggling times come desperate measures. I'm a 38 year old single female and I've been struggling to stay afloat with my accumulated credit card debt of $30,000. I had a good job that I started working at back in 2000 but because of the economic hardships in California and downsizing of companies I was laid off back in 2008. I was just barely getting by on my unemployment benefits until I could find a job...but the job outlook in California is pretty bleak, especially in my town where the unemployment rate is about 17%. I've been able to stay on top of paying my credit card bills on time but can only afford to pay the minimum which barely touches the actual debt I owe after the interest charges and other fees. It's very discouraging to know that my whole unemployment check goes just to interest fees and I have very little money left over to buy the neccessities for myself. And to make things worse I've exhausted my unemployment insurance and I'm still unemployed. Nowadays, even to work in retail you need some kind of experience relating to the job you're applying for. I borrowed $5,000 from my friend back in August after my checks ran out because I wanted to stay on top of paying bills until I could find a job but still I can't find a single thing. I want to go back and go into being a pharmacy tech...but that means paying for school with money that I don't have :( I've looked into filing for bankruptcy but am scared of losing my house because it's the only memory that I have of my dad. It's my parents' home and when my father died back in 1994 the property was transferred to me. It's not an extravegent house and only has about 750 square feet of living space but it's enough for me. And it does have its flaws like leaking roofs and doesn't have a central heating or cooling system, but still, it is a home and it's livable and but most importantly it's a piece of my dad. I want to get back on my feet, pay off my debt without having to file for bankruptcy because I know that would also affect my job hunting, as companies today also do background checks for potential hires and that would already be a strike against me. I want to fix the leaky roofs in the house and I would like to return back to school to focus on my education. I know that so many people, out of the kindness of their own heart, are willing to help strangres out in need. I want to get my debts paid off because it's stressfully wearing me out and I just don't know who to turn to for help. Any type of donation would help very much and I will be ever so appreciative and grateful for any type of help that comes my way. I would even be elated in getting a telecommuting job if anyone is willing to hire me. Thank you so much for reading my story.
