Hi everybody. I am a single mother to a beautiful son who is about to turn 12 in October. My story is sadly similar to so many that I have read. My thoughts go out to everyone out there caught up in this horrible RECESSION!!!
I worked very hard as a single mom to attain my degree, which I finally did in 2003. While in school, I worked 2 jobs.
I landed a great job where my son and I did great. I put him in catholic school and finally was able to get my own place after having lived in a shelter for almost a year.
Thanks to some bad investments within our company, my department downsized and I was laid off. Back to the struggle again. In all honesty, I just need help with this month's rent and one month of tuition for my son (Grand Total of $5,000..NY Rents suck..), who is a straight A student. I applied for all benefits available (still waiting on the food stamp card, not a lot of food in the house and my Unemployment disqualified me for Emergency funds) for my son and I. I have several interviews lined up and my resume is impressive, but the job market is horrible. I have also registered at many temp agencies in the city.
If anyone out there, knows of any other resources or places I can go to, trust me I will scrap the money for a Metrocard and go. I just need to know that we have the roof over our head and my son can go to school for the month of September. Thanks again and I wish all of you luck.
