I am single mother of 3 who is struggling to make ends meet , seems like everything is a catch 22 , i cant find a decent job because i dont have a car,cant work weekends b'cuz of childcare, cant even get to the grocery store sometimes. I get no help from the government and I most recently lost my job because they wanted me to work on christmas and nobody will babysit on christmas.and i dont get child support as my ex husband is in prison. I have bad credit from him(my ex) running up bills in my name and refusing to pay them , and i dont know how i am going to make it , my rent is $950.00 plus everything.My kids are 7,5&4.I want to enroll in school but i dont know how i can pay the bills while i am in there. I have to find some kind of source that would assist me with living expenses while in school , it is only a nine month course for surgical technician! Does anyone have suggestions ,or know of any additional grants, or programs i may me elligable for to help me for the time i would be in school ?
