Single widowed mother of 2

At 33 I never thought I'd loose the man of my dreams but my 2 children and I did last Oct.  My now 13 yr old son and soon to be 4 year old daughter are now fatherless and I am faced with having to take care of them on a veterinary technician salary.  I have lived in FL for 20 years and after everything thats happened this past year we all need a new start in life.  We would like to move to Colorado and I would like to go to school and start my own business which has always been my dream.  My son has some emotional and physical disabilities and require very costly medications.  I am making ends meet, just barely but I had to give up insurance and other things for myself to make sure they have insurance and pay for counseling.  I make just enough money to not qualify for any assistance, but its still not enough because of the debts he left behind that I am paying off.  I would love to be able to go back to school full time to get a business degree to someday be able to support my family on my own.  If any one can help me do that I would be eternally grateful.

Single parent wanting to go back to school with limited resources.  I have already maxed out my federal financial aid. Have many business ideas and adventures want to accomplish but lacking the knowledge - ex. how to set up a web page. Have done research online but info becomes overwhelming. Needing to find a way out of this restricting life just not sure how.  Work, child and daily up keep like cleaning and bills leave me with nothing left at night except exhaustion.

singel working mom in dept and homless

My needs are my childs needs too!

I don't have a place to live as of October 1st, the owners have sold the mobile I rent.

I have to pay off my tickets before the end of the year or the state is going to attack my taxes.

My tickets are $900 dollars to pay off, I'll never come up with that money with my job.

I'm low income and can't pay for childcare.

I have a car for when I can drive again but it has transmission problems and other things that need to be fixed before I can drive the car.

I don't have clothes to wear at the office and it's costing me my job.

I have medical depts to pay off  $2,5000 dollars.

I have $250 dollar phone bill to pay off .

I need family law advice and can't afford that either.

I want to work out of my home and make the money my child needs me to make.
