Hi, my name is Laura and I am a single mom of three. I am a survivor of domestic violence, and recently moved to start over. Things were going well for us until my job closed down, giving only 3 days notice. Luckily the money I managed to save covered most of January's rent. I have recently found another job (waitressing) but the money isnt as good as at my last job. I am also driving a car that has no reverse, which I have managed to deal with, but then, the hood latch on my hood messed up and as I was driving to work, blew open and cracked my windshield. I try to keep my spirits up and continue to try. However, Im really worried that I wont be able to make enough for February's rent, or that I will have to pick up a second job, and my kids will be left raising themselves. After all we've been through, I hate to leave them alone so much. I really need some help getting caught up on my bills til I find a better job, or til business picks up.
Any financial help or words of inspiration is greatly appreciated.
