I’m not sure of the community rules or anything but I truly need help. I’m officially homeless. My littles, my husband and myself are staying in my car and I’m due to be induced in November. I have no family where we live and my in laws hate me and my two children. I have no friends due to my extreme ptsd and just overall being a mom... I’m screwed. All of our shelters are full and I’ve called every apartment in my city for some type of relief but to no avail. Being a waitress I don’t make much cash at all. And the car is now officially up to be repo’d as well. I haven’t had any cash to even remotely prep for my unborn due to my guy being hurt on the job. It’s just a lot. I cry multiple times a day and I’m so depressed to the point that I don’t know where to turn. If you can help with anything at all, I’d be forever grateful. Thanks for reading. ❤️
Apply for emergency cash assistance. If you do it in person you’ll be accepted like immediately. Especially having kids and being pregnant they WILL have something. I don’t know if it’s called the same thing but it’s called DES where I am. They can also help with housing.
@bcsweetie, that’s not an option. My moms struggling just as bad as me and my dads been dead for years. I’d love to leave and move with my mom but I don’t have a dime to my name.
@harlem, as extreme as is seems I’ve tried everything outside of us being separated.
Im sorry your going through this. Id only suggest what's others would have. Stay strong and take care of your babies. Prayers. I wouldn't want to leave my kids but they couldn't stay with dad till u can get on your feet? I wish u the best
Call organizations and charities in the next towns over. They could possibly help with transportation. I'm so sorry momma .
I’m sorry to hear your story have you tried going to see s caseworker at the welfare building maybe they can help
@theycallmemommy, unfortunately no. My mom has a roommate. They live in a 2 bedroom in an high rise
I am really sorry you are in such a bad situation. I wish I could help you. I was going to suggest what the other ladies suggested. I saw you said your mom was far away. Can she somehow come and get you all and stay with her til you get back on your feet?
@harleygqplus2 of course .. that could happen to anyone!! Stay strong and do what you can 💓
I would contact your local dhs office.. they should be able to help you find housing for you and your family.
@harleygqplus2 oh that's far 😥 maybe if you explain to her she'd come get them to me it would be worth it
@harleygqplus2 I don't think it's so much horrible for trying to stay together. I think it's more of a safety issue for the kids . A 4 yes old and 8 month old shouldn't be sleeping in a car (I do get things happen) but that's do dangerous and if someone sees you like that police and CPS could be knocking on your window then it would be worst for you because of the children especially depending on the type of area you are in .. I get it but to myself as well it's just not right for those babies especially with no real plan in place for the next day or more and I can only imagine it's harder to get yourselves together in that situation with two small children holding your hand
I’m in no situation to help you & I’m sorry about that but I will be praying for you & your family. God will see you through. He is faithful & unfailing. Favor is coming I know.
Idk if you are a believer but I truly hope you get on your knees momma & pray against fear, worries, your ptsd, homelessness. Ask for his guidance & grace. He is my hope & I know your revival is near! You’ll be in my prayers. ❤️
I don't think anyone is trying to bash you. It sounds like you're in a really sad and crappy situation. I know being separated from your husband would be hard but in the long run it might be your best bet. If CPS was to find out you're living in your car with them, you could probably get in trouble. 😕
@jordanrwilliams25, we’re literally all we have. Everyone thinks it’s just so easy to spilt up and it’s not. The one place I felt I could talk to someone everyone’s just made me feel like I’m horrible for keeping us together.
@harleygqplus2 ooh that's deep .. I wouldn't be comfortable with that either ..
@jordanrwilliams25, like when they found out I was pregnant they all wished death on me and the unborn and told me I didn’t deserve my other two because they feel as if I’m not worthy. Not to mention they’ve attempted food stamp fraud and have stolen and destroyed, if not taken back anything that has been for our unborn child that was sent to our old address. They don’t like me because I just showed him a better life to live. It’s just unnatural to them.
@harleygqplus2 how bad do the in laws hate you? Is it just like they tolerate you or don't deal with you at all? Like could you suck it up for a couple and they help you or it's completely no option because they won't allow it?
I feel as if now I’m being bashed or called selfish. It may seem that way. However due to everything I just don’t have the mental capacity to deal with my girls amongst everything right now. It’s just recommended that he stay close by.
@alice-quinnsmommy I agree you have to think about the kids first. . staying in that situation just to stay with your husband no offense is kind of selfish ( I do understand though)
@harleygqplus2, so do what you have to do - better than in your car and on the streets.
Well, if there is a place for you and the kids. Like what was previously stated, though, sometimes sacrifices would have to be made. Could you and the kids go there and your husband be with his parents???
@harleygqplus2 is your local accurate? Because it's only 15mins away from the city itself.
@mychemicalshaymance, I can’t afford to travel. My car barely makes it across town to work.
@veemndz, thank you. In order to use a church you have to call certain times throughout the week which I have indeed done and I’ve been turned away due to not having an address. I was also threaten by a church worker who stated she ought have called CPS on me for being in the situation in the first place.
Sometimes you have to do, what you have to do. If having a roof means your husband being somewhere else, take that sacrifice.
@laniejay, it’d be me and the kids in a pod by ourselves and my husband alone.
A church? Fire station? Police station and ask for help? They can't just leave you in the street pregnant with 2 small children. I'm very sorry you're stuck in this situation😞
@laniejay, we have no emergency family shelters. We’d all be separated. There’s no emergency housing either, I’ve tried for weeks to get in touch with anyone. Community action partnership and beyond. No luck. I’m currently trying to go to a motel already but my family can’t afford to help at all.
I’m in no situation to help you & I’m sorry about that but I will be praying for you & your family. God will see you through. He is faithful & unfailing. Favor is coming I know.
