About heatherboaty

heatherboaty started this conversation

I am a single mother with 2 boys, 9 and 12.  I was employed in the mortgage industry for 12 years as an underwriter and as of 2 years ago I lost my job and all prospects of another one in the real estate field.  My exhusband is ordered to pay child support but is $197,000 in arrears and works under the table so he does not have to pay to help support the boys.  I used my 401K and unemployment to start a process serving company thinking that would put me back on my feet but I do not get enough work to cover the bills and now the money is gone and so is unemployment for a year now.  My credit is terrible from the last 2 years not being able to cover the bills on unemployment and the papers that I do serve so I can not get a loan and I have no assets.  My car payment is 2 months behind, and I need that to work.  My kids go back to school tomorrow and I do not have money to buy them new shoes or uniforms.  My phone is about to get shut off and rent is due.  I have tried to get assistance from the local authorities but they do not have funds to help.  My light bill is 2 months late and is $451, it's going to get shut off next week.  I give blood to get food to feed my kids and put gas in my car so I can work, but all of this is coming to an end because I can't keep up everything I'm doing to keep food on the table.  If I don't come up with rent, 2 months truck payment, 2 months light bill, phone bill and some money for my kids school supplies, uniforms and shoes, I'm afraid we will lose everything and be homeless.  Please help, I can give you shoe and clothes sizes and supplies list for the boys if you want to send those things instead of money.  Walmart gift cards would help out for food and uniforms and supplies also.  Thank You and God Bless.

I was reading your post and I am sorry to hear your troubles. I know how hard it is to get a job once you have been in the mortgage industry. I was in investment Real Estate for tex years and worked for one of the largest title companies so when I go out there looking for work people see that and I swear its a red mark. Regarding your kids uniform, I would suggest you contact the principal of your kids school and explain to her/him  the situation and if there is any help out there.(I know my son wears uniforms also and his principal placed his name on two organizations page that purchased him three complete uniforms, two pairs of shoes, socks and a packpack) and once you let the school knows they will also make sure your name and your kids names are on the list for Christmas help. Check with your local churches for help also, I know the church I go to helped me get caught up with my gas,electric bills and would have paid rent had I needed it, but check them out. If you want to email me your location I maybe able to direct you to agencies that you can go to. GOD bless and dont give up there is always a way we just need to take a deep breath and forge forward.
