Hello, I'm Tom. I'm a single dad raising 3 kiddos. I divorced about 6 years ago from an unfaithful wife. I've had my kids pretty much from day one. I haven't received any child support in over 3 years and very little before. I'm not here to bash my ex; I honestly need help. I fell last Memorial Day weekend, shattering my ribs and puncturing my left lung. I spent 14 days in ICU. I have other health issues now. I've worked very hard to keep my family together, but I'm struggling badly trying to provide. I lost my job of 10 years at the beginning of June. I've never asked anyone for help. I recently applied for food stamp benefits 3 weeks ago with nothing yet. I try to hide my emotions and struggles, but my kids are my best friends; they know my pain. My rent, car payment, and pretty much every bill is getting behind or already is. I lived paycheck to paycheck. Please, I'm just asking for some breathing room. Our quality of life is really rough right now. Any help is a blessing!! Thank you so much!!
