Daycare Tags

Hi I am a mother of 4 in need of money for gas and bills... I am unable to work because the kids dad was just sent out of the house for who knows how long, and I have late hours. Our children also have medical problems that make it impossible for daycare and I am getting desperate... Anything would be appreciated at this point, thank you.

my debt has accumulated to $350 due to a fault with my bank. The daycare hasnt notified me until just recently and on top of rent and bills i cant afford to pay this fee. I dont even make this much money per week :( please help me. it will be greatly appreciated

Since today is Mother’s Day, I wanted to share my journey thus far and what it’s meant to be a mother for me. My story is unique in that I’ve overcome various obstacles to gain what some may call normalcy. Now I’m facing a struggle in which I’m hoping to tap into the kindness of the internet in order to help me through this hurdle.

I was raised by a single parent and grew up in a town where most families were on some sort of government assistance and could barely make ends meet. I was always taught to value what I had and that hard work will always bear its fruits. My high school was filled with kids who didn’t care about getting an education. I was a introverted “nerd” who took Honors and AP classes and saw education as a way to get out of a town that didn’t have much opportunity for growth. While I valued my education, I was also bored to death, even in my “accelerated classes,” so I stupidly acted out and started to party as high school kids do. I ditched class to drink and dabbled a bit in drugs because there was nothing else to do. Even as I partied, I still managed to remain on the honor roll for all 4 years. Fast forward to the beginning of my senior year, our class had 250 kids and throughout the year approximately half of the student body dropped out at one point or another, giving up on their 14 year investment in their education. I made it to the end, but while everyone was excitedly responding to college acceptance letters, I had to throw all of mine out. Why? I was pregnant. I fully accept responsibility for my actions, but sex was not talked about in my household. I had no idea I had access to birth control or condoms and foolishly made a mistake that would change my life. I went to my prom and graduation 3 months pregnant without anyone knowing aside from my family.

The summer after graduation was spent brainstorming options and finding a job to help support my unborn child. I decided to keep the baby, thinking I would give it up for adoption. I was too immature to take care of myself, and now a baby? No way. As the months progressed, I fell in love with the baby and decided to keep her and raise her with the help of my family. I was excited but deep inside I was depressed. I really wanted to go off to college and live the life of a student living on campus, making new friends, staying up late to cram for midterms and possibly travel a bit. I couldn’t do that anymore and the thought of experiencing college in any other way didn’t entice me. I also knew if I didn’t get an education, I’d be stuck in a cycle of dead end jobs all my life. I knew I didn’t want to struggle like I’ve seen my family fight just to put a decent meal on the table and keep the lights from getting shut down.

I started college two months after my daughter was born. She was perfection and an incredible motivator. I’ve always thought that she deserves something better, beyond what I can give her but I decided to try my best to give her an amazing life. Since I just had a baby, I wanted to explore the opportunities I had outside of a traditional classroom in college. Luckily, the local community college offered online courses which only required me to be in class on the first day, at midterms and during finals week. I did this for a year and a half until I took every online course possible. Then it was time for full immersion into college. Here came daycare and having to balance college life with working and a small child.

My average day in college looked like this: we’d have to wake up at the crack of dawn so my daughter and I could ride a 45-minute bus to school. Unlike most of my classmates, I had to dash straight from work to class or go to work right after class so that I could pick up my daughter from school at a proper hour. I was very fortunate to land a job in a small office as an office assistant during college that would later prove invaluable. The pay was ok, but I was allowed to tailor my schedule to be compatible with my changing class load every semester. After our day was done came another bus ride. Once we got home, I’d have to make dinner, pack us lunch for the next day, prepare her backpack with extra clothes plus wash and prepare a day’s worth of bottles for my daughter. After I put my daughter to bed was the only time I had for homework. I’d stay up until about 2am every night doing my reading assignments or writing papers only to have to get up 3 ½ hours later to start my day again.

I did this every day for 5 ½ years.

Was it worth it? Heck yeah. I got my bachelor’s degree on my wall as proof. I am the first person in my family to ever get a degree. I have multiple relatives my age who ended up dropping out for various reasons yet I managed to graduate (with honors!) while juggling a small child and a demanding job. Aside from raising my daughter, this is what I’m most proud of thus far. I read online that less than 2% of teen moms attain a college degree before age 30. I’m stoked beyond words to be a part of that 2% (Source) I hope that this struggle and success will set an example to my daughter and show her that hard work does pay off.

After college, I worked a few jobs that I wasn’t too keen on. Too corporate, too stuffy, too bureaucratic to evoke any change and make an impact. I wanted to wake up every morning and feel inspired to go to work. I didn’t just want a paycheck, I wanted to engulf myself within organization so that I could kick ass and take names. I also wanted a 401(k), health benefits and life insurance so that my bases could be covered in old age. But mainly I wanted to wake up invigorated every morning and be able to pay my bills. After college, my daughter and I moved into our first home. I loved waking her up in her room filled with the girliest of things. I was a proud mama–on my own, college educated and living life as an independent woman.

Independent but unfulfilled. That is, until I was introduced to the CEO of my most recent employer. We hit it off immediately and within two week was offered the chance of a lifetime. I was invited to join his multimillion dollar company and close-knit team as his right hand. I’d learn all the in’s and out’s of running a business in a dynamic industry and receive a nice salary. After a bit of contemplation, I decided to resign from my stuffy job to join a company I was proud to be apart of. My job was great. It was flexible, nurturing, educational and insightful. In a few short weeks, I was in the trenches with my boss handling everything from sales to contracts to finance to HR. That is, until the company suddenly went out of business. I won’t get into the details but I was told I’d have a month before we were all let go. This was the job I wanted to settle in and dedicate years to, not just a job really but a mission to which I was dedicated.

I was laid off in March with no severance pay as the company had nothing. I had a small savings which I tapped into as I began searching for a job. I had to file for unemployment for the first time, which was hard as I’ve prided myself on not having to use government resources to pay my bills. I have almost a decade of solid work history and yet I’m struggling to find a job. Places are hiring but they’re scarce and don’t always offer pay that can support a family.

My bills are piling up and I have family and friends that are in no position to help me out. Unemployment can only pay so much and it isn’t enough to put a home-cooked meal on the table or keep everything paid. I’m in the process of starting up two businesses–one that peddles vintage finds and another that provides folks with stellar resumes to land their dream job so that I can increase my cash flow, but in the meantime, I’m asking for any donations to my cause. I’m willing to offer any services in return for a donation over $30 via paypal. There’s a button below where your transaction will be processed safely and gratefully!

Thank you so much for letting me share my story with you.

I am a single mother of five and I am in desperate need of someone to help me pay my rent of $700 that was due, May 5th 2012.

I'm currently unemployed because my youngest son is 5 months old but was born 2 1/2 months premature. Right now I cant put him in daycare because his immune system isn't fully developed and he cant fight off infections or illness.

I have tried to raise the money on my own but have very little options and spend all my time indoors with my baby.

Please! I don't want to be on the street with my children and this is really my last hope for a miracle.
Thank You

I am a single mother of three small children, I have recently started working but with daycare costs being so high I am getting nowhere quick. I need help to pay my basic bills and try to get ahead. I am now $1500 in debt and am in serious need of help.
If anyone can donate any amount of money, please help by sending cash, check or money orders to the below address. Thankyou very much for helping it is appreciated.

Full time college student, with a two year old son, needs transportation to get back and forth from school and daycare. I'm out of options and running out of time. I won't get any finances till September. We already have food assistance and medicaid. I just cannot keep going out walking cold mornings and coming back hot afternoons. I know it is not fair to him, but I am doing the best I can to secure a future. I continually look for work from beyond sun up to sun down. I know times are tough right now on everyone, I don't expect any help. I just can't not try. Thank you all for even reading. Be safe and may god watch over you as well.

Hi...
I'm India... I'm now a student & stay-at-home mom of 6 month old twins. I previously worked as a make-up artist, but due to overwhelmingly high daycare costs i've decided to stay home their first year. I also have a set of six year old twins. Before my 1st set was born I weighed 118 pounds, after weight after they were born stayed a steady 125. So, when I found out I was having a SECOND set I immediately wasn't worried one bit about it because I'd dropped all of the weight before. Well, unfortunately this time it wasn't so easy. The second set left my body a mess. Due to a c-section my doctor told me to not exercise for six weeks. As soon as I got home from the hospital I began dieting. Running twice a day & sit-ups EVERY morning & night. Well, it's been six MONTHS & my stomach is STILL flabby due to loose DEAD skin that will NEVER re-gain it's elasticity. So unless I get the surgery, i'll FOREVER have this pooch. My insurance doesn't cover, obviously because it's cosmetic & I just don't see plastic surgery being in my immediate future. I just want to feel good about myself & look great in my clothes again. For someone who's had a nice body ALL of her life, THIS is NOT ideal. I know this might be a LONG shot, but if you can... PLEASE help! I'll gladly send you pics, if needed.
THANKS

Please help! My daughter and I are tryin to open a daycare for teenagers and low income parents who can't afford regular tuition. Please help us with any amount of donation to make someone dream come true. I will let you how the progress is goin through every donation. Thanks for your help.

Hello, and thank you for taking time to read my post. I am a 21 year old single mother to a little girl. I am struggling to make ends meet, and I'm having a hard time staying strong for my little girl. My ex husband has been unemployed. Therefore, I do not recieve any financial help from him. If you're a parent, you know that daycare is very expensive. I simply cannot do it all on my own. I need your help. I am a very prideful person, and do not like asking for help, but I do not know what else to do. I owe $400, and have sold things, thought of odd jobs, but have still come up shorthanded. So, please help us. I want to be able to provide for my daughter and keep a roof over her head. She will be 2 in a few months, and I want her to have a "home."

Thank you for taking the time to read my BegsList post. I am a single mother of two children. I do not receive any government assistance, and I am also a college student. I am ashamed to ask people I do not know for money, but I have no other way to make ends meet right now.

My rent just went up $100, and I currently pay $940 in daycare each month. I was laid off my job in February. And since then, I have been doing temp work until I find another decent job.

I just need some help to keep a roof over my children's heads. My apartments do not accept partial payments and they refuse to work with me on a payment arrangement even though I've been living here for 3 years now and have never been late on rent.

Anything you offer will be greatly appreciated, and all of it will go directly to the light company and to my rent.

Thank you for your help and your prayers.

I am 28 years old and I have a 21month old. My child's father got into trouble with the law and instead of serving time he fled the country. I cannot file for child support since he doesn't live or work here. He doesnt send me money or anything. I applied fur child care assistance and I make too much money. By the time I pay for rent ($810), diapers, food, gas, utilities, and my car payment I have nothing left for daycare for my child. I had a friend helping me but she was a horrible mother to her kids and I don't want my kid in that environment. I have had to call in to work and I may lose my job if I can't get daycare figured out. I even sold my couch and I'm ready to sell other furniture to get by. Please help!

Please help! I basically can`t afford to live. I work 50 hours a week survive and can`t even seem to do that. I have a 2 year son which is in daycare that cost $170 a week.( Trust me when I say that the city I live in $170/week is cheap.) I`ve tried applying for government assistance but according to them I make too much money to qualify for any benefits. I just don`t understand! Because I work and don`t have 10 kids I can`t get any help? I`m struggling to put food on the table and keep the lights and water on every month. Every time I turn around it seems like another bill is past due and my bank account is empty. I would just like to catch a break :-(. I was hoping that I would catch everything up and put a little money away with my income tax return but guess what! Someone already filed under my name and ss#. Now I have to deal with identity theft and the irs! I won`t be getting any refund from the government anytime soon, if ever. My rent is coming up due again and my anxiety level has reached its max. I just need to catch a break.

This is very new to me. Doubt anyone actually reads these, but I am desperate. I have 5 children and recently took in another. We cannot afford daycare for all of our children so I work while my spouse stays home to care for the kids. There are somedays where we are flipping couch cushions to find change for milk or diapers. We live paycheck to paycheck and rarely have any extra for even school activities. I spent a year racking up credit card debt just to get by. Now I am in deeper than ever. I no longer have credit cards and will never get one again. I want to pay off my car, student loans and other debt so I can provide fully for my family. I know I screwed up and have learned my lesson. Now I am begging for help! Please; anything will help.

I am a 26 year old mother of 2 adorable children. My husband was killed by a drunk driver a few months ago, and we can no longer make ends meet. I am constantly hounded by collection calls, and have had to make some tough sacrifices. My husband had no life insurance, and was preparing to enlist in the military. He never got the chance to serve his country, or see his children grow up. I have job skills, but cannot afford daycare anymore. I don't qualify for any assistance programs, and I don't want to be a welfare mom in the first place. We have exhausted all options as far as borrowing from friends and family, and I don't know where else to turn.

I understand that a lot of these are scams to get money which is sad because the people that really are in need of help aren't getting any. I promise I am not trying to scam anyone! I am 21 years old and just went through a bad break up. I am also currently pregnant with baby #2. I had a job and doing well untill I finally had to get away from the bad relationship for myself and more importantly my babies. He was the one with the cars so I had no problem getting my daughter to daycare and go to work. I have been trying to get back on my feet but it always comes back to not having a car. I live in milwaukee WI so if ANYONE knows of someone that could help I would REALLY appreciate it!!!! I just want my life back. The family that I do have isn't in a good financial place to help me out. My email is breezy0555@gmail.com THANK YOU!!

My mother has had a stroke. Mom and I live together and share expences. Her and I are very close and I come close to losing her. We have no other family to help us, it's just us against the world. My dad has passed away many years ago and our family are not close. She was in a nursing home rehab center and they have released her back home. I quit my job to take care of her because the hours I had were at night. I need a daytime job so I can put her in adult daycare while I am at work. I am in the process of looking for a job and applying for an elderly waiver. She needs 24 hour care. We rent and share expences and now all the expences have fallen on me. I could really use some extra money for rent. There are so many things I need right now. I don't have a refrigerator just a small motel type of frig. My car needs repaired and I need my car so I can look for work and take mom to the doctor and errands. I would appreciate your help at this difficult time.

Hi there,

My name is Lea all the way from Australia. I have 3 beautiful children that I am raising on my own. We fell on hard times just over 1 year ago. I am looking forward to starting work in 6 weeks time. This is the most positive I have been in a very long time. The problem I have is with my car. It is 14 years old and runs fine sometimes. Last year I spent $1000 repairing an oil leak and a few other mechanical problems. Now though the shocks have given in and the car is not safe to drive any more :(. Today was the worst I feel, it felt like I was on a boat at sea :(. The expense to replace them with labour costs is astronomical. I really don't have the money to foot this bill. The car isn't worth a lot and I thought it would be better and safer to buy another one given the constant repair bills. I have always driven it nicely and looked after it. The timing is not very good right now. In my part of the world cars are very expensive even for the most basic one. I don't need anything trendy just a car for the kids and I. I need it to commute 35 mins each way to work and be able to drop them off at school and daycare everyday. A road worthy vehicle like the one I have now (Toyota Camry Wagon) costs $3,500. For a few months I joined various on line opportunities that all promised to make me money but what happened instead was that I lost the last few hundred dollars I had on advertising which was intended to invite others to join. Unfortunately, it didn't work :(. Please, if there is anyone out there reading my story will you send just $1.00. I am going to the bank next week to find out about a loan but I am unlikely to get anything. I was driving my husbands other car but two weeks ago he had an accident resulting in his main car being written off. He has now had to take his car back. We are currently separated and he is in debt a mile high. To anyone who would like to see proof of the repairs my wheels need I will be happy to supply them to you. I have nothing to hide at all and this is a genuine request for help with a car. I am sure to anyone this is a massive request and I'm sorry about that. I really want to get back on my own two feet. Along with starting a new job I am also studying on line as an external student of my local university. For now though a helping hand however big or small will have the impact to change our direction in life. Without a road worthy set of wheels getting to work will be a really big problem.

In return I am willing to offer an eternal friendship :) Who doesn't need a friend? I would also like to send a little present, something Australian to anyone who will help me out. I suppose as my start day gets closer the more anxious I am becoming. This car issue is causing a lot of worry :(. As things improve and I trust they will in time I want to help others on here too. To let you know a little more about us: A few Sunday's a term I lead the preschool kids Sunday School at my Church. I love it very much. Being a lone parent is not easy at all but I have come along way after battling a lot of health issues brought on by my husbands departure. I also give away any clothing my children have outgrown to anyone I know of that needs them. I also share anything I bake as long as it tastes good :). I try to live by being kind to everyone myself as one never knows what battle someone else may be facing.

Thank you for reading.

Will keep praying for a miracle.

Many blessings,
Lea
