well i am a 22yr old single mother my son will be 2 soon i am living with my mom currently because i recently walked out on my abusive boyfriend of 7 years ,he tricked me into siging over my car to him and my name was not on the lease of our home, my mom has only given me 1 month to stay with her because she has three little ones of her own, i do work part time but it is not enough, i am so clueles as in how to get my life back i will be homeless with out a car in a few weeks and i just dont know what to do and advice or help i would be so gratefull!!!

January 8th I had a baby boy, I was unsure how I felt about that.  I love him dearly now.  I was not working and my boyfriends hours have been slim to none.  I have been trying to get help from dshs since december but I guess you have to be a junkie I can't even get food stamps!.  He only brings home maybe 700 a month.  Our rent is 995.00 a month you do the math.  We are now 4000 behind on rent with very little hope for his job will be closing for a month.  I am terrified where can me him our newborn and cat go?  I filled out an application for low income housing we make to little to be low income.  Is there a poverty stricken building in seattle?  I cannot imagine living on the street the four of us.  there must be someone or something out there that I am missing. If anyone could help I would be so gratefullomg!!  I think we might survive, my best friend has moved in to help catch up on rent and our landlord is ok with that thankfully.

I went to dshs this afternoon and we make to much money to qualify for any help other than food.  The system is soooo screwed up.  I just checked my food stamp card and of course it does not work as they promised it would.  I now see why so many people are on the street this state does very little to help.  

my name is Mary..... im a single mother of 2 little boys.... 17 month old Johnny, and 5 mont old Timothy.... we are in threat of being on the streets VERY soon.... i dont know what to do.... their father is is now in jail..... so i have no extra money coming in and i was recently laid off....... if you want to see some pics of me and my boys go to www.myspace.com/maryandjohn      there is a slide show on the right if you scroll down.... it is filled with pics of us.....

My name is Maria, I am a single mom of five kids.  My current situation is embarassing.  I had a problem paying my rent last month, just because I wanted a better Christmas for my children.  What a huge mistake that was.  I went to the mail box today and found an Eviction Notice.  January 8th 2007.  I have five days to pay or get out.  I don't know how I am going to do that>My income doesn't even come close to paying the $518. Plus a $10 Late fee.  Along with a Threat received from my landlord that Reads word for word.

Dear Tenant:
This letter is to inform you that your rent can no longer be paid later than the 5th of the month.  You have been continously late, have been given numerous quit or cure notices and you still do not pay your rent on time.  Since your rent is partially subsidized we are to report every time you are late with the rent.  From thos point on we will report all late or non payments fo rent to the RD office when this happens they will take away your rental assistance and you will Never be eligible for assistance Ever again.  Please do not let this happen.  Remember the next time your rent is late it will be reported to the RD Office.  If you have any questions call me at the above number Ext.25.  Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

Regards,
(landlord left private)

I don't want to list the landlord name, because of worries of a lawsuit.  I don't get help from Rural Development, but I am currently on Section-8.  A totally different place than they put in the letter.  The letter was the first.  I had several contacts from the Manager of the crumby apartment that I live in, All I said, is until you can prove to me that I owe what you say I do, then I will pay it.  I have admitted to being late with the rent twice in the past three years that I have lived here.  I didn't pay the $10 late fee and that added up.  A huge mistake.  Well, then I had made a choice, to get my children gifts for Christmas and wait and pay rent when I got paid from work on the 9th.  Which is tomorrow, Well, I called my landlord and they will not work with me on this.  I have enough to pay $270, but I don't know where I am going to come up with the rest of the Rent.  I fear that I will have no where to go.  I have been homeless in the past and I don't want that.  Not again.  I have been working very hard on cleaning up my credit.  I done well with that.  But, because I am a single mom, getting very little help with child support for the kids.  I can't afford to move.  I can help anyone here the best I know how with CREDIT issues, I cleaned up my credit without paying off all of my debts.  Like I said, I can pay $270 on the 9th of January 2007, but don't have the rest, which is only $258.00  Well then there are the stupid late fees.  So if anyone can help me please email: mariafuller5@triwest.net.   I have a paypal account and any help can be sent directly to paypal using my email address as a payment.  Also, if you are requesting Credit help you can email me with questions.  This service is FREE.  Thank you for help. and God Bless.  Maria and family.

This is Revised:  I would like to let people know, that I have found some great help.  I don't need any money any longer to help me with my rent.  It had been taken care of.  I would also like to say thank you to all who had taken the time to show interest in my site.  I also would like to say, I have found a lawyer who is willing to help me in regards to my son's issues.  God bless all!
