Single mother needs help with rent, utility bills

Hey,Good A.M Feed Up
Is it not enough we teach our own kids to work and be productive good citizens then come here just to do it more?my kids are grown up.I guess there will always be some saying its too hard to find or its too hard not enough money.
I talked about my kids getting a floor covering business started,they are sub-contract through a carpet store in town,got the first weeks labor check,WOW.They brought it right to me to brag.Im proud that my 3 boys decided too work together as a team,Im so proud of them mostly because they are so proud of them selfs ,and mind you begging,government check people they are all under 25 years,its all a matter of wanting to.
How are you and the folks doing?BBQ for memorial day?

What the hec are you doing with 5 kids? Don't you have any sense of responsibility? Why did you have a 2nd? 3rd? 4th? Having children is difficult, and expensive...what are you thinking?

Just one dime between the knees would stop that.

The ones here crying shoul;d be kicked off welfare and put to work doing low educated government tasks for min. wages= to the welfare income,they would find that job they claim is not out there.

Man I so Agree...I was in Walmart getting groceries and a hispanic giel approx 20 YOA is getting WIC stuff the whole time speaking Spanish. I so wanted to tell her to get a job, quit having kids on my money.

Many people work hard and survive to the best of their ability, yet they face hardships. Some are faced with circumstances not within their control. It's easy for those who have not endured such struggles to pass judgement. But remember, no one can truly relate unless they've walked in the shoes of those less fortunate. I believe the rough times can make a person more humble and appreciative of what's really important in life. Some of the most generous, loving, and nonjudemental people are those that have the least material possessions and money. Their wealth comes from within and is far more valuable then anything else.
For those who inquired about assistance with bills, disability, child related issues etc., I'd encourage you to call 2-1-1. The United Way 2-1-1 Call Center has a wealth of resources to assist you.

AND I GET TIRED OF WHITES ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT BLACKS BEING ON SECTION 8 HOUSING. HELL. I HAVE SEEN POOR POOR POOR WHITES IN HOUSES $700.00 A MONTH AND THEY AREN'T WORKING. NOW YOU TELL ME HOW IN THE HELL CAN THEY AFFORD THE MONTHLY REND OF 700 A MONTH? SECTION 8 IS HOW THEY AFFORD IT. SO YOU DAMN WHITES NEED TO STOP YOUR RACISM AND LOOK AT YOUR OWN PEOPLE EATING UP TAX DOLLARS ALSO.

Tell me what the hell brought on that statement.
I have read very little racist remarks aside from your statement.
No one stated this persons race.
I for one could care less about the race of this person the fact is a person has to buck up and pull his or her own weight. The only way to get ahead is to strive and work to get ahead.

I think this person is blinded by hatred.

I'm in the same boat as you but with 5 children

I am a single of three, Go to colege to better myself. yes my kids have the same father and yes i get child support. i am also disabled and receive foodstamps. I cannot work right due to more bills of childcare. I have bills up my ass right now, due to my son having cancer. And other needs my kids have, trust when I, medicare or nedicaid does not cover all finances due to hospital stays for my kids. I do what I can to sirvive, odd jobs such as cleaning peoples house while my smallest goes to school for 3 hrs. I get online to try and make money also. Point is I do what I have to do to survive with no ones help. I dont think certain who have to go to welfare as a last result should be talked down on. Now Im not saying that they should just sit around and use welfare as an excuse not to work. But if your going to be on welfare make it a temporary thing, go to school or job training classes, so you can get on your feet. As of now I go to school, iGet food stamps, and disability for myself. The Child support i get for three kids is less than $300.00 amount becos the state bases it off of what the father makes on his paycheck. I know its hard for single mothers out there. trust me I feel the pain. The money I receive each month is barely enough to cover my rent and water bill,(I live in the city so the bills come high there).
My electric bill comes to almost $370.00 a month and right now its backed up to $689.00 a month. when I get my money every month, its a choice between should I pay my phone bill, buy my kids clothes cos its getting cold, pay my insurance so I can get to school and get outta this hell hole, or pay my electric and gas bill before we cant eat. I have no one to help me out, but I push and I survive because I know I have three lovely kids that need me. And Im sure many women have made the mistake of being with a man, having kid, and thinking hes gonna love you forever. Thats fairy tale, and a lesson learned for me. Me and my kids father were together 8 yrs, I have never been with anyone else, and probaly never will. I got my tubes tied after our third baby. He left saying he couldnt handle the stress of raising 3 kids after 8 yrs. So right now
I dont even consider him being man. As for me I keep moving I dont blame people for having the babies, I blame them for how they raise them, Dont teach them to sit at home and depend on others, teach them your a hard working mother, that you went or go to school to better yourself. teach them its ok to ask for help, but if your gonna, at least show you know what to do with it.Dont let them think its ok to use people.

Ty very much darrell, your right NOT GIVING UP IS THE POINT. I do feel really sorry for the ones that are on welfare and alone, but staying that way without doing anything to better yourself is giving up to me. And I know your not calling me a begger. :) Good all and Blessed you.

Jessica:
I am a single Mom of three. 10.3 and 2. I suggest you cut your cable and phone. For your phone use a prepaid cell. It is all about budgeting your money. Your electric sould not be over two hundred dollars. Mine is and I have a house and this summer, with the air con running 24 hours my elect bill was lower than that. Think smart and teach your children what your made of.
Mom of many

My mother is 57 yrs old. She owns her own home and was doing good til things started happening. My brother who is 38 yrs old moved in with her in 2005 and my sister who is 28 yrs old and has a baby on the way has been living with my mom for 3 yrs now. my mom, brother and sister both work but my mom is the only one paying the bills, groceries, and the property taxes. my brother and sister do'nt help out at all. I live here in Wyoming and my husband and I send my mom money every month. In the past year, my moms car has broken down which she had to dip into her property tax fund to fix her car. now her roof on her house is leaking,her bills are extremely high with the other two living with her and she hasnt been able to save her property taxes for the payment next yr which means she might have to sell her home. can someone please help her out. I do not want to see my mom loose her home. Thanks.
