Hi,my name is Jackie and i'm coming on here trying to find some help and or advice.My husband and I have fallen between a rock and a hard place,here's our story.
My husband and i have 4 children in our home and one that he pays child support for in another state,all of them under the age of 5.my husband is employed and makes a a decent amount of money a month but his child support is $800 a month which takes half of what he makes.I was employed, but the state we live in said we made to much money according to their guidelines for child care assistance or any other programs through welfare.without my working we qualify for the assistance but the second i started working they again said that we made to much so we lost it.so without my being able to work the bills are really behind,we rent our place and have just barely been able to make rent each month, but when we do some other bill doesn't get paid,we never have enough money to buy anything for the kids because we spend it all just putting a roof over their heads.Now our power bill is due, it is $467.00 and we can not pay it.We have already been told that the power will be shut off.is there anyone out there who can help us?
