Struggling Mom and Daughter Need Your Help

Donation protected
My daughter and I need help paying our monthly bills. As of last May, we were forced to relocate due to personal issues. It was done for both our health and safety. I had to get a new job. The job I got was said to be full-time, but for the past few months, they have been cutting my hours. I have even picked up a second job. I am trying my best to do what I can. This has become harder and harder to pay our rent, utilities, car insurance, and car payment. This month has taken a big hit on us. I have been trying any way I can to help improve our income situation. I hate to have to ask others for help.

In Nov., we moved to an apartment with a friend of mine. The friend of mine helped my daughter and me get a bedroom set. I have been saving all the money I can to help us stay in a stable place. I don't know how I am going to be able to pay this coming month's rent, as we split the rent 1/2 with the roommate. I have applied for some assistance and have not received any. We basically had to leave where we were living last May with just what we could get in my car. I am trying to help my daughter adjust as easily as possible to the new living situation and school location. Currently, I am working 2 jobs to try to make ends meet. I feel as if I have failed her as a parent, but I know I did what's best for her and me when we left that situation.

We ended up moving to a 2-bedroom apartment with our roommate. We would have liked a 3-bedroom, but it was way over what we could even afford. Hopefully, in the next month, I will be able to get a better-paying job. I have been applying all over to try to fix our situation. It has been a struggle to just keep the essentials, but we have so far. If you need to learn more about our situation, feel free to contact me. Hopefully, in the coming months, I will be able to get my name restored to my maiden name. My daughter is also requesting a name change when I get mine changed. My daughter is finishing up her junior year and will be a senior next school year. I know that's going to be new expenses, so I am trying to set us up so she does not have to miss anything her senior year. I used my tax return money to keep us afloat while I search for another job to keep the bills paid. I don't know where else to go for assistance. I need to make sure that our phones and car are up and working.
