Hello, I am a 27 year old, single mother of 2. I have a little boy who is 2 and a little girl who is 10 months. I just walked away from a horrible marriage on Dec, 31st. He was very abusive and I was afraid he would kill me. I left with my children and moved in with my sister, her 4 children, and her husband. She told me that my son wouldnt be in the unfinished basement because he has bad asthma. I believed her. Well needless to say we are in the basement and we are also in and out of the hospital. I am a stay at home mother, trying to get a job and trying to keep my child healthy. I dont have a job at the moment. But I am looking everyday, I am trying everyway I can find to get out of this house. I have tried get intouch with DrPhil and Oprah hoping just maybe they would want to help. But after trying to get help from DrPhil for almost a year and still getting nowhere. I am going to try again here. I am a single mother with no car and no help. I would like to know if there is anyone out there that would want to help a domestic violence survior, single mother help her children with a home. A HEALTHY HOME! I am not asking for a manison because that isnt me. I dont want a bentley because that isnt me either. I would like a home close to my sister because family is everything to me. My sister is my best friend she has helped me so much more then I could ever repay. If there is anyone out there that can help us. Donatation, charity help, and assist a single mother. I am looking for a hero or a miracle at the hands of a stranger. I am begging and plendy for someones help. Thank you for listening.

I became a single mother of two little boys (ages 5 and 7 now) in July 2002 after leaving their emotionally abusive, drug addicted father. I worked temporary positions so I could have the flexible schedule needed to raise them (dr's appointments, school appointments, illnesses, and etc.). I decided it was time to get a permanent position after getting laid off from a good paying job I had for oer a year. For 8 months I was turned down for jobs because I was overf qualified or under qualified. I finally got a job with the State Government. But as soon as I got the job, I was served with eviction papers, my foodstamps were turned off, my daycare assistance was taken away, and my children no longer can receive free or reduced lunch. I only bring home $1600 monthly after taxes. But my bills alone are $1400 a month. I barely have enough to buy groceries, catch the bus to get back and forth to work, buy the house necessities like toilet paper, soap, laundry/dish detergent and cleaning products. Now my refrigerator is no longer sealing properly, so it spoils the food I leave in it. The walls in my rental house have mold behind them. It is MOST evident in the shower walls. They are now folding outward and breaking apart. My landlord refuses to fix it. She would schedule it and then call the maintenance guy the morning of the appointment and cancel. The house also doesn't have any type of foundation nor is it insulated.

 I need to find a grant (one that I don't have to pay back) that can help me set my finances right. I need to pay my bills at least one month ahead and also get the money I need to buy another refrigerator. I know I can't get out of my lease until April 2009. But if I could just set my finances good right now, I would be able to finally afford something decent for my children.
