Well, here I am...scraping the bottom of the barrel again! I have been stuck in a loop for the past 8 yrs (since my common-law husband died) and quite frankly, I am SICK of it. I am trying my best to raise my two boys to be productive citizens and teach them how to overcome life obstacles; but the situation that I am in now, has got be down and I don't know which direction to go.
I was in a relationship, which began over a year ago,and we decided to live together. Then in Feb 2006, he agreed with me that I should quit my part-time job and attend online college full time. Things was going great, I received all A's in my classes, my kids adjusted well to the move and they still received A's in their school work, my mate adjusted well also. Then last month, he decided he did not want a relationship any longer and he wanted us to move out.
To sum this all up, we are now homeless (living between New Buffalo MI and Michigan City IN, with friends), I had to quit college due to the fact that I no longer had access to a personal computer, my kids just started back to school and the school is saying I need a permenant New Buffalo, MI address so my kids can continue attending the school without having to pay tuition, I have $420.00 a month from SS and I am so depressed right now, all I want to do is sit and stare into space. But I can not continue to be at the bottom for very long because of the responsibilities of being a parent. I need a hand-up, please. I need guidance from someone. I need to stay in the New Buffalo MI area because this is where I want to raise my kids. It is a safe community and the education is A+. I need someone to show me how to apply for homeownership grants and I would love to be an intern with a successful business person.
