Single Mom Needs Help

Donation protected
I NEVER thought I would do this but after 10 years of raising my daughter alone, I am finally at a point where I don't think we will make it without help.  I am 30 and my daughter is 10. Being that I had Kyrena at such a young age its always been a little difficult without relying on my mom. My daughter is in dance,  wants to play an instrument, and be in chorus. How does a mom tell her child no because she can't afford it? My daughter will be having surgery 12.18.15. I will be out of work for 2 weeks unpaid, which will really put a damper on Christmas.  I am already receiving disconnect notices for my gas and electric, and my bank account is negative $700.  I became a first time home owner in April and was totally unaware that the  condition of the house would cause the stress it has and would be such a money pit. I would really like to be able to support my daughter's activities and not have to worry about not being able to put food on the table. I know many single mothers and I know a lot of us go through the same struggle day in and day out. I have tried checking resources for assistance with anything at all but because I do have a job I am always told. "You make to much" - I wonder how they calculate that when they don't know the situation of each individual. I found myself thinking if I would be able to afford a winter jacket this year. I was actually feeling kind of embarrassed for even considering writing this, but I am out of options.  I know we all have our struggles, anything helps, and from the bottom of my ❤ I appreciate it.
