I have an feeling that my income is about to stop. If anyone out there has a moment to stop and say a prayer for me and my family, I would greatly appreciate it. God Bless.
I wish I had money to give you, but I am in about the same situation that you are in. What I can do is tell you that I will pray for you and I hope that you can keep your chin up. Even though situations like this make us think "I am just suffering through this until my real life starts", the truth is that THIS IS our real life, and we should try to enjoy as much of it as we can. Try to find enjoyment in watching your kids grow, they grow so fast and before you know it, they will all be grown. Maybe, if you are the praying type, you can say a prayer for me too. They are free!! ;)
I don't have any money to help you with as I am in need too, but I guess if I was you I would try to find a job with room and board included. maybe a nanny position. It would put you in a new environment and you could start over by saving money on rent. Good luck to you, and you are in my prayers. Lavinialuna

I am the mother of 4 beautiful children (13, 7, 4, and 1) and married to an amazing man, but we are struggling to make ends meet. My husband is a disabled artist and I myself have severe nerve damage due to an epidural I had delivering my third child. It became infected with staph and I have been suffering ever since. I also have bulging discs, which does not help. The entire right half of my body is effected with pain and numbness, crippling at times. It has also brought on symptoms much like Fibromyalgia and massive migraine and cluster headaches that nearly blow me off the planet. I fight depession and have even been diagnosed agoraphobic as I feel I have been forced to retreat inside of my shell by the pain and weakness, afraid of going anywhere alone, I feel defensless. The infection effected my heart damaging one of my valves, and it will need to be replaced eventually. I sadly have had to apply for disabilty because I could no longer do my job of 15 years (hair stylist) due to pain and constant discomfort. In fact I suffer so much of the time at this point, unless I can find some kind of medical treatment to control the pain, I am unable to do any job. I have been denied by disability twice and am awaiting my trial, and although I respect the people appointed to be in charge of Social Security, I wish they could see my pain, or feel it for themselves, be me for just one day. In the mean time we are struggling financially and are barely getting by, by the skin of our teeth. We have had to use our credit cards to help us stay afloat (and I am talking essentials only), yet they are the very thing pulling us under, a catch 22. If we don't use them, we can't afford to pay for them and so on. My hope and dream is to pay them off so we could be rid of them forever.
Things keep breaking, our van, our air conditioning, our van again (and again and again) and the stress of the anvil being dropped is more than I can bear.
I pray everyday for God to help us, to provide for us who can't provide for ourselves. God is good and He has brought us this far. I just need to put my trust in him.
