Sitter Tags

I hate needing to do this, but I need help. I'm looking everyday for a job, while my 9 year old is in school. I take my 4 year old with me because I can't afford a sitter. We walk because I don't have gas money (it'll be repossessed soon, anyway).
I got my eviction notice yesterday. My cable, internet, and phone are all shut off. Electricity will be any day, now. I'm broke and struggling. I don't know what to do, but I'm trying. Please...if you can help.

I'm a single mom to an AWESOME 2 year old son. I am struggling greatly with trying to keep our home. The payments have gone up by $200 dollars this year. I only my $1200 a month with an $800 house payment and a $300 car payment I can't live off $100. I would get a second job but than my money would be going to a sitter and I don't have family around to help me. Any help would be great!!! Thanks!!!

 I am a 32 yr old mother of 3 who has never been in a situation of desperation such as the one I am about to present to you.  Early last year I worked at a job which paid more than enough money to take care of me and my children.  The problem was that the hours were from 3p-3a, which gave me no time to spend with my kids.  My oldest which is of school age only seen me on tue & Wed, which were my only days off, the rest of her time was spent with my sitter.  My job also had me work holidays and sad to say their birthdays as well.  Soon my daughters grades began to drop and my young children no longer wanted to spend time with me.  They cried for the babysitter and soon started calling me by my first name.  I went to my job and pleaded with them for a schedule change, they declined stating that my personal life wasnt their problem and they have 1000's of people who would love to take my place.  So I was forced to make a decision between money and my kids, I chose my kids.  I quit my job after saving enough money to pay the bills for a couple of months while I search for a job with earlier hours.  I felt this shouldn't be a problem due my previous work experience and my associates degree.  The 3 months I had given my self passed by very quickly without me finding new employment.  Because tax time was approaching and my lease was almost up I decided to use my tax money to find a much cheaper home (unfortunately in a much less appealing neighborhood) and use the rest of the money to pay for rent and utilities for another 3 months.  I have no family who can help me out and my kids father is nowhere around.  I have yet to find employment despite the many interviews and applications I have done.  A truck recently cracked the windshield on my car, my tires are bald, and the engine is going bad.  I cannot afford to fix these things and am now desperate to find a job before I lose my transportation. I would love for a great job lead or even an agency which can help me. A small donation would also help and if you send me your email address, as soon as I get on my feet I am willing to pay it back. For those who read this if u know of some job leads please forward it to me, thank you!!

I am in desperate need of some money. I hate the fact that I am forced to beg, but I have no other choice. My checking account is overdraw and I have no cash to pay my sitter or to get my car on the road. I need to have 650 asap or I'll have to quit my job to stay home with my three year old.

My family and I need a vehicle so I may go to work. We have one, but it keeps breaking down and my boyfriend drives it to work
(when he can) we are behind on every bill we have, including our house payment (and by house I mean mobile home that's 1 bedroom too small for us) My boyfriend (he would be my fiancee if we didn't already have to sell my ring to keep our place to live) works full time and works very hard, but it's not enough. He needs my help, and in addition to not having anoter vehicle we also cannot afford a baby sitter. We don't even have the food to get through this week until he gets paid,and we won't have the money for it then. We applied for welfare and they will begin helping us with food next month, which doesn't really help us now. We are living paycheck to paycheck and barely getting by. I know this story seems pretty standard, and it is.. which is sad. However, I don't know what else to do. I am currently a full time student so I am looking to better our life and we will eventually get there, it is the wait that is hurting us. Thank you for your time and consideration, and I appreciate any help that is available.

Alright, its been a long hard road but Im finally starting to see the light. Long story short, IM IN A BIND! Im going crazy as to what to do. My mother passed away 2010 & I was no wheres near ready for her to leave me. So without a job, car or a completed education I took off on my own because she was all I had. I lived with friends while I tried to get my things together but there were some really bad, unsafe & unhealthy living situations so I bounced around alot & eventually wasnt able to get my diploma. I thought I finally caught a break, a girl said I could live with her rent free if I was her sitter 5 nights a week, that was quickly ended. After only 3 mths I find out the house was up for foreclosure & was going up for public sale within 3 wks. I finally found a more stable, long term place to stay a few mths ago, Ive looked into getting my GED & I start working in May for at&t customer service, then I can save up money for a car. I really want to get my CNAs but in order to do that I need my GED & the CNA course is $400 & the GED is $70. I would love to be able to take my GED next mth, the tests only come around every other mth & itll be available to take in early April & Id love to sign up for CNA courses after I pass the GED, my next steps after that is to start my at&t job, save up for a car, eventually get a CNA job then go to college while Im working CNA. Just right now Im in a bind, I cant seem to find a way to make money. Ive offered babysitting, pet sitting/grooming, housecleaning, lawn mowing, and no ones taken me up on my offers. $470 would change my life as silly as that sounds, but it would. Ive lost my mom, been homeless, ive been hungry for days, & Ive felt like I coulntor wouldnt make it, well thanks to some amazing people who are allowing me to stay here rent free until Im able to get on my feet I finally feel like things are starting to look up, I just need a littlr nudge in the right direction & financially Im unable to do it on my own. I hope someones willing to help me, help myself have a good life. Truth is Im terrified of doing it all alone, but I gotta make my momcproud & do whats best. Thanks everyone for reading :)

This isnt something i would usually do but since my husband passed away i dont know what else to do. Going from a 2 income household down to one is hard, funeral expenses took most of what i had, the bills are piling up and my kids keep asking why the phone is disconnected and why we cant heat the house anymore. If gavin was still here i wouldt be in this mess, i work as much as i can but theres only so many hours i can do to fit around school runs and i cant afford a sitter.

Anything will help every 1p will make a diffrence please help me

Good Morning,

I'm a single father living in a 2-bedroom apartment with my one year old son. I'm working a full-time job to pay for my utilities, baby-sitter, diapers, milk and rent so my son has a warm place to live. Recently my car broke down so i had to invest all my money into getting my car fixed. Now i'm behind in payment. I'm in dire need of help in this extremely difficult time.

Sincerely,

Ken

Hi, I am a 23 year old single mother trying to make it through college. I suffer from depression and its getting worse, I can't work full time because of my daughter in school and I don't wanna drop out of school because I will owe financial aid. Fact of the matter is me and my daughter are on the verge of being homeless. I already eat one meal a day since we don't have much food and my daughter needs her nutrition more than I do. I have thought about suicide but I can't leave my daughter alone. I am very desperate for help anyone if you can please email me crystalcas.cc@gmail.com. I just don't know what to do. I found this website just by googling my not being able to pay rent, so I'm not sure if it is even going to help. I just don't know what else to do I feel like I'm going crazy because its so hard to keep up with my bills and work when I can since I don't have a baby sitter. I appreciate whoever even reads this

I am working, but cannot accommodate the needs of our life. Diapers and formula milk for my little children cannot be purchased. Unpaid nanny wages, unpaid rent and unpaid bills. But our salaries have been exhausted. I am afraid we will be driven from our rental house. I am also afraid if my baby sitter does not want to take care of my children again. I cannot bring my children to work. My false teeth are damaged and I am ashamed to communicate with the public. My work relates to the public. My glasses have also been damaged and a need to changed to a new one. How can I solve all these problems? My car debt and debt with the bank are also a lot. It all amounted to about USD200,000. The problems hit me one after another and give an impact to my work performance. I have also tried to find the extra money on the internet but have not met the right strategy. Help me to solve this financial problem. And to start a life free from financial problems, I will not stop searching for the means.

Hello, I am a 49 year old married, father of 5 beautiful children, ages 5-11 years old. Back in 2009 I had a great job as a route sales representative and everything was going along smoothly in our lives. Until one day while at work I bent down and tore my left medial meniscus in my knee. I suffered for 8 months before my surgery, till workers compensation settled everything.
I returned to work after 12 weeks and was able to perform my duties for around 13 weeks till my knee finally had enough. The doctor put some permanent restrictions on me of which my company could not accommodate.
I needed a profession that would supply for my family, plus one in which I was able to execute without any problems from my knee. So I looked towards the medical field. In September 2010, I embarked in a course of Diagnostic Sonography. I am getting ready to go into the meat of the program this fall, but now my workers compensation case has took a turn for the worse. It looks like the benefits will soon be subsiding and with the program I am in it will take about 60 hours or more per week . I am at my wits end trying to figure out what I can do to supply for my family and still accomplish schooling that will help us in the future. I have about 2 years of school left.
Some may say, “Why does not your wife go get a job”? My reply is always what are we to do with the children? The only family we have in the area is my mother who is 80 and in bad health. To pay a sitter would be quite expensive. So we are at a lost for what to do.
We student loans, but that isn’t enough to pay the bills. Also we don’t have any bills other than living expenses like rent and utilities; we don’t have credit cards or auto loans.
Any gift would be greatly appreciated, and the only thing I can give in return is a thank you and a prayer.
Thanks for all your concern,
James presley

Lately, I've been concerned about my sneakers.

I feel like I've lost as much as I can lose in the past 2 years: my mom, aunt, uncle, my cats, most of my possessions. I've taken a string of live-in in exchange for free rent positions, helping people who've needed a housekeeper, pet sitter, companion for the terminally ill. None of these jobs PAY MONEY! Plus, it's a big strain living with slobs who don't even flush the toilet. UGH!

I used to live alone, and I really miss it. This is my dream:
Buy a mobile home, furnish it, etc. I'd like to sell and perform with puppets! I love puppets! I love the way kids are so attracted to them; their faces light up! And kids talk to the puppets, rather than the puppeteer! So, I need money for a home, a business, and clothes.

I'll be 50 in July! This girl just wants to have fun, and make fun for others, too! And have a decent pair of sneakers. :-) God Bless!

Me and my fiance are at wits end on how we are going to make it. We want so desperately to get back to where he was born and raised in Ellenville N.Y. and we are stuck here in Kentucky. We moved from about 100 miles away so I could care for my father and he passed away be 2 years in Sept. We have lost our water AGAIN they cut it off last week and my fiance can't find any work here ,, he does construction and its not happening here. We have no car and he walks everywhere to look for any type of work just to get by and he has been ripped off by this whole town as he never charges what the big wigs do to fix a home.. We go out of our way to help others even when we have nothing and Im so scared we are going to loose our apartment(which is an old funeral home and we are the only ones here)We have been scrapping metal and junk the last week just to feed ourselves and get by. I just want to get to where he use to live so we can get back on our feet and make it on our own. I hate asking anyone for help but I am at the point of giving up on everything as its just not working out. We try so hard to get ahead and we get slapped back 20 feet and cant get back up. right now we are going to loose our Electric come Monday morning if we cant come up with the other 147.67.. I worked with a neighbor other day helping her plant her flower beds and cleaned her home and my fiance went and done an odd job plus walked gathering aluminum cans to turn in and we was able to give them 120.00 of it but they only gave us till Monday for the rest of it. Not to mention not having food but got up this morning and someone left a box of food on our step that will get us by for a few days and am so greatful ..I have been to every place in this town to get help and no one is willing to do anything. I do not know what this world is coming to when no one will extend a hand . and right now if someone came to me and needed something I did have I would give it up as I feel there are others who need it more then I do.. I just keep praying for a Miracle and It never happens no matter how hard we try.I do not understand why there are people in this town that goes out and cons people and charges an outrageous price to do things and they are running around with their heads in a cloud and having everything when we try and try and we just get farther behind. I know It sounds like I'm complaining but I just want to live normal without so may worries and to get out of this town that keeps dragging us farther down in the homeless pit..is there any help to be found.We want to save enough to make the move as he has work waiting for him there and its over a 1000 miles away to get there plus have to have enough to at least get us a cheap effenciency for a week or so till the money starts to happen as I do not care if I have to live in a homeless shelter to get on our feet when we get there.. It's just managing the money to make it there..I will not give up hope and faith as I pray to God everyday to at least bless us to be able to make it through 1 more day. I have family here but well like alot of families they have just turned their backs and won't do anything to help but I was there to help them when they needed a sitter or someone to do things they couldnt or my fiance redone their places for basically nothing in return as that is how we are.. to make a long story short almost 4 yrs ago me and my fiance built a deck on the front of my parents home and it was for my dad to be able to sit outside in his wheel chair to enjoy the weather instead of sitting inside and wasting away and it was a 20 ft by 28 foot under roof with rails and steps and an extra pole rail for my dad to hold onto to walk the deck for exercise and done with all deck wood and its really nice and we got a total of 330 bucks for all that but we didnt complain as it was from our hearts to my dad as I am a daddy's girl and even though he is now a beautiful Angel I am still a daddys girl..we also put siding on their house which was stucco house so it all had to be drilled in with plastic inserts and we done it the way my dad always wanted it to look and I would have done anything for my daddy as he would do anything for me I was his baby girl but again we done it out of the kidness of our hearts and love for hi, .. there is alot more to add from and about other family members that saved them BUNDLES but can't even help with a meal now.. but I will not hold a grudge or judge them as its not my place to and they will be judged in the end and that is when it counts the most..but I keep praying to the Good Lord that one day there will be a way for all we need to happen! Hope is running thin though and to the point of just tossing life in and ending it all..and I know that is the wrong way to think but sometimes your mind and heart gets tired and weary and just wants to give up but I will fight till the end to reach our goals of making it to NY.. I really hate to ask and beg but I do not know anything else I can do except keep doing what I am doing and also ask for some help.. I hope all who is needing help will recieve the help they need and I pray for many many Blessings to come your way.. God Bless...

2 sudden deaths a close grandmother and a loving brother. I need help to finish paying for funeral cost $8,000... I'm also struggling to provide clothing for my kids currently.. We are without food for a week at the most.. I try to put food in their stomachs before clothing them even though its hard because one of my kids are in school so there is teasing. Our family has been like this for 11 months now... I'm struggling to find a better job and to find a baby sitter.. times for us are so bad I just pray people will help out as much as possible.

God Bless You All!

I am a single-working mom but my hours have been severely cut. I have been trying to find work but everything I find pays less than it will cost me to have a sitter for my son all summer. He is 5 and going into Kindergarten in the fall. I receive no child support and I have no family as both of my parents are deceased and truly have nowhere to go. I have never asked for a handout from anyone and now I find myself desperate to keep our home. I am behind in our rent and facing eviction. I am afraid for my son and desperate. I am a hard worker and I know I will not be in this situation forever but I don't see a way out unless I get help from somewhere. I have been selling anything we have of value for the last 8 months. I have nothing of value left. Every place I have turned to consolidate expenses has turned me down because my income is too low now. PLEASE HELP! I WILL PAY THIS FORWARD IN THE FUTURE!
