Trying to survive after son's father left

Update: After weeks of searching and many rejections, we finally found a home to rent. It's not the greatest but it will suit our needs. We now need to hire movers as we have no friends or family near by to help. I have quoted movers and it will cost at least $500 to move our stuff. We also need a bunk bed, baby rib, sheets, and I need a bed since my current bed is up high and I can no longer get up into it as I am 7 mos pregnant. After I have the baby I could easily hurt myself getting up into my bed, so it has to go. Any furniture donations are also a blessing. Thank you all for your kindness. I promise, it is so very appreciated.


Two weeks ago, my former fiance broke up with me and decided he no longer wanted his unborn son. I am almost 7 months pregnant and I had taken a lower paying job because we had planned to move into his home. I took a huge pay cut because he assured me i could afford it. He has now decided that he no longer wants us or his unborn son. I don't make enough money to pay my current rent and we need a bigger yet cheaper place to live ASAP. I have two other children to support in addition to the new baby.  We are supposed to be out of our apartment at the end of the month. I can not pick up more hours at work as i am capped out at their max right now. My income is stuck where it is until the baby is born but we are quickly running out of money. I applied for state assistance but was denied because I make more than 800 per month. However, I do not make nearly enough to pay for a home, food, baby items, gas and electricity. It seems we have fallen through the cracks. It seems that the state has set things up so that you have to quit your job to get any help, which I refuse to do. I am not a dead beat. I work hard for what I do have.

We did not see this coming. We thought we could trust this man that my kids called step dad. His kids and my kids were like siblings. They loved each other. His daughter called me step mommy. He even set up rooms for my kids and the baby at his home. Just a month ago, we were planning out how to unpack my stuff. Then two weeks ago, he has bailed on us and i don't know how we will make ends meet. He wont give us a dime to help. He says i should ask my childrens father for more money. He has money saved up for his hobbies and his parents are wealthy but he wont help. They want us to just go away and disappear.

 I never ask for hand outs and I'm not now. I am simply asking for some help so my kids and I can start over again after this tremendous blow to our world. The baby's father doesn't seem to be willing to help us right now and I can't get child support until he is born. I make too much to get any state assistance until baby is born but not enough to afford a home.

I truly believe in the kindness of strangers. I have seen first hand that there are loving and kind people in the world. One day when we are on our feet, I plan to pass it on and help someone else who needs it.

Many people talk about being Pro life but rarely do I see assistance being provided once a baby is born. I think it's time we change that. I know I plan to find ways to help other moms like me once I am able to.

We love you all and thank you for your support
