Hello,
I am a single mom of a 2-year-old child. My child & I desperately need to leave abusive husband/father, but have ZERO money to do so.
He controls everything I do (when I'm allowed to leave the house, when & who I can talk to on the phone, etc) and he will only let me have $5 at one time, so I cannot save to escape.
I have bipolar disorder, depression, panic disorder, & PSTD. My husband makes fun of me all the time, calling me crazy, stupid, and worthless. Sometimes he almost convinces me it's true.
He has no patience with our child and will not help me care for her. She is afraid of him (who wouldn't be, he's always yelling).
I can get a job as a medical transcriber as soon as I complete test jobs for various companies, but my husband won't watch our child so I can take the tests. I have 38 cents to my name and no money for child care. He says watching her IS my job.
I so desperately need a financial hand up so that my daughter & I can get an apartment, utilities, child care, etc. In California, the max public assistace will give a family of 2 is $438/mo. I don't know anywhere in the country to find a place for that amount of money. I'm not being picky either, I just can't find ANY apartment in that price range.
I am doing my best to be strong & not give up finding a way out. I know that if I can just get this hand up, I can make it on my own with my transcription jobs or any job, for that matter. I'm just in a hole right now I can't find a way out of.
I have no family members or friends willing to take us in or who can help us financially get a home of my own.
If there is someone out there who is financially secure enough to help, I pray that if it's His will for God touch your heart to give us this miracle. Whether you can or cannot afford to help, God bless you all for caring enough to read my story.
My sincerest best wishes! God bless you and yours.
God is love.
S.
