This is about a person with a very real problem. If you dont feel sorry for her what about the 2 year old little boy she has, do you think he did something where he deserves to be on the streets. It is really sad that something like this can happen in america.
When someone refuses to work and a single person ends up homeless due to it then thats life but when a single mother with a job ends up being homeless in the US this is really a tragedy. I for one wish stoneygirl all the best and hope this never happens or is a very very short term situation.I’ll be leaving my friends house in a couple hours so I can go to work, so tonite when I get off I have nowhere to go. My son is with his father. My ex said I can’t have my son if I don’t have a place to live. I hate the position I’m in, but I’ve tried to get help anywhere and everywhere with no luck. All I can hope for is a safe dry place to sleep tonite and untilL I can find a place to live.
Maybe your baby has to be with its dad for now if it has a safe place to be, but the shelters are not full and they will help you get on your feet. Do it for your kids so they can see what is possible.
Sorry for your pains.
You need to learn to utilize the government in situations like these. They are there.
(How do you have internet access?) You need to go to a forum more fitting for advice and/or assistance. There are forums and websites more beneficial than this. (For example the ones Chiefster posted).
The most effective of the suggested solutions would probably have been those from Mclovin.
Government programs and charities do not act quickly. And churches are rarely equipped to help with such major issues as housing.
And it seems like most people would rather assume that you must be some kind of addict, and declare you a terrible mother, than sacrifice anything at all to help a stranger. That, and so many others are too fearful of strangers to offer the kind of help that is really needed in this kind of situation.
I realize that I am a day late here. But I do have one other suggestion, that I have seen work in my area.
Around here, it is called “Womanstrength”. And I have seen people under identical circumstances offer legitimate help.
I say legitimate help, because I have also seen Govt. help programs do nothing more than take children from parents who find themselves in bad situations, and even throw them in jail and bring up charges.
I hope you have found a way to keep things from falling further away, and that something here will help you.
If you were in my area, I would be able to help more. Good luck.
well I found a place to stay, but I had to give up my new job. I’m just hoping I can find a new one very soon. As far as my son goes, he needs to be with me since until just recenly I was the primary caregiver. He father really didn’t do anything except go to work and sleep. I’ve been raising him basically on my own since birth.
The only reason I posted all this here in the first place was I needed to get everything I’d been bottling up inside out, and to see if anyone had any ideas that my friends and I hadn’t come up with.

I don’t know what all is in your area. But I would hit the same places, day after day, until one of them gets so sick of you that they give you a job, just to get you to stop pestering them.
I might be getting the last postion I held before I had my son. So I’m hopeful since I left there on good terms and they seem to be happy to see me. So we’ll see what happens.
