My name is Marsha. I am a single parent of 3 amazing kids, 2 in college and one still in high-school. I lost my job in early April 2014 and have not been able to find work since. In Missouri where we live unemployment benefits only last for 20 weeks. No extensions, no other options - just 5 months and then no money. I have an Associate's Degree so I have been told repeatedly that I am overqualified for jobs like waiting tables or simple manufacturing jobs. Thankfully my older kids have scholarships and student loans or they would have to drop out of college. I had money saved for emergencies, but even with the help of my fiance who has his own household bills to pay for, I will be out of money by the end of December.  I get $500 per month in child support for 3 kids, but that will go down to $333 starting in March because my oldest will be 21. I am able to keep us fed because I had to swallwo my pride and accept food stamps. I am not asking for a million dollars. I just want to have enough money to pay my bills so I don't lose our home.
