I've been unemployed and searching since April, with no luck due to the economy. Same story over and over, "Not hiring at this point, but we'll hold on to your application in case anything comes up". After nearly five months of being unemployed, I've become terribly frustrated, and depressed over the probability of becoming homeless. I am currently 2 months behind in my rent , and have received disconnect notices on my utilities (gas has already been disconnected). I have exactly $20.00 left to my name at this point, and I need approximately $937.00 to make it through the month of September, without being evicted. Honestly, I feel embarrased to find myself in this predicament. I had to apply for, and was approved for emergency food stamps last week.After having grown up in a family that almost seemingly prides itself on collecting money from the government for bringing fatherless children into the world, I made a conscious effort not to follow this pattern, and what does it all mean, now? All of the organizations that are set up to assist in financial crisis are only willing to help when you have those(fatherless) children. I'm at a loss as to what to do.

We all have to ask for help sometimes. There is no shame in asking. I am happy to help out in any way that i can.

Have you been to the Salvation Army there? They will usually help out with part or all of the bills.

Next, you may want to check with the local churches. Usually they will help out also.
