I am a single mother of 3 boys, ages 12, 11 and 8 years old. Right now i am struggling to keep my head above water, i work fulltime for minimum wage which doesn't pay all the bills. Everytime i take a step up the ladder, i take 2 steps back. I have gotten assistance from my local church, which they can only give so much (God bless them for all they have done), i make too much to get assistance from the state (since when was below poverty level too much), I have to have a shut off notice, eviction notice to get any help from local groups in my area, and i definately don't want to have to be at that stage, my goals is to be able to stay afloat. My family has helped me in so many ways and i can't keep going to them. I am behind in rent, i owe on my electric and water bills, i am in need of a new window for my house, my only means of transportation is having problems. It is so hard for me to ask for help, i am a very independent person, i can't promise anyone i would pay them back, that would be a lie. I am a very giving person, so for me to be in this situation is very hard for me, i like to be on the other end. If any can help, it would be greatly appreciated
