Hi,
My name is Michelle. I am a 27 year old single mother of two. I have a 7yr. old daughter named Tina, and a 16 month old son, Jimmy Ray. They are two of the best well behaved kids anyone could ever have the pleasure of knowing. I messed up a year ago by engaging in a physical altercation with my childrens father; the outcome was a horrible mess, and many people were there to see our fight, including our children. The police were called, though they didn't catch up with their dad right away. Because of this, CPS was called out, and untill my childrens father had been detained, or turned himself in CPS instated a protective order in the childrens behalf. Meaning our home was not a safe place for them to stay, and in order to avoid them being put in foster care, my mother took over the responsibility of being their temporary guardain. From there, due to the domestic violence/police contact at the place where we were renting; I was then served with eviction papers. The police finally caught up with dad, and he was shipped off to prison. After having lost our home, and my having been separated from my kids for close to 4 months I was really starting to lose touch with reality. Then my car was stolen weeks later..and i was now without my children, our home, my spouse (our families income), and now my car. I have been doing all that I can to survive, but without my children I am heartbroken. I have gone to welfare for assistance, though I am still unable to find and provide a home for us. I have gone down to the housing authorities, applied for section 8, though the waiting list is 8 years. I am not able to get a job without some sort of transportation of my own due to the fact that I don't have a permanent place to stay. If some one could help me with some options that could help my situation that I may have overlooked I would and will take any and or all advice/ suggestions. I can be reached at mpeterson1982@gmail.com
Thankyou for taking the time to read my request for help.
