My name is Elove, I am a native of Detroit, MI. I moved to Georgia approx. 2 yrs ago in hopes of providing my self and daughter now 3 a better life. I left Detroit secondary to physical, financial, and mental abuse of my husband now incarcerated for the next 36 years. (very long story). I left a beautiful home, car and stable job as a result of this. I felt our lives were in jeopardy as result of my husbands street associations.
Initially when I moved I was doing well for myself although the journey difficult. I gained employment purchased a car, and rented a modest apartment. It was difficult to maintain all of my monthly expenditures ie. day care, although I made a decent salary. I deprived myself and my daughter of so much like NECCESITIES. There are no programs or at least I have yet to find one that helps persons in my situation. I try to exhaust all resources before asking for help. However I am hanging by the end of my rope.
I lost my job in November, and as result lost pretty much everything all over again. I have limited resources and family support. I suffer w/depression and a host of emotional issues as I have never had the opportunity to heal or recieve counseling for all of my anguish. I just function as a Bobo doll and when continuosly punched I bounce back as I have no choice because I have a ltitle one that depends on me greatly, but I am running low on fuel.
I am daily steadfast going into debt as I have NO source of income. I am living with a God sister, I am grateful for her although it is not the most comfortable environment for us. The only thing I have left is my car that may be repocessed soon. If that happens I am really up the creek. I have daily tried to find work and at this time a beggar can't be choosy. I'd work at Mickey D's however child care is of course an issue. Further more I can't drive my vehicle because I can't afford my tag renewal or insurance premiums so I am stuck all the way around.
My daughter has been greatly affected by all these abrupt social and economic changes. Right now she is my only fuel and motivation. Prayer and faith of course, yet when you exhaust all possibilities to help yourself what do you do? I would never have gone on a site like this because I am so independent and proud. Yet I ask anyone out there if you have any resources that can aid or assist me in my situation, it would be greatly appreciated. If anyone can provide me with any financial help just to handle my most urgent need to be mobile to find employment would be great and I can handle the rest. A good 1500.00 dollars would allot me the opportunity to pay a car note, pay my insurance and get my tags renewed.
I thank anyone who wishes they can help, prays for me or identifies with my situation. I don't want a hand out I want help to hep myself.
this is all new to me i am just try this out and hope i learn some thing from this . the one thing i am try to always tell people is that god is good and god will always help us if we do right, we are...see full post
