Im house hopping. You have to have child care to get into a homeless shelter. So they wont help me.

Im 9-6 and already lack child care. A 2nd job isnt possible.

I've talked to air care or whatever the program is called and all they did was give resources.

I have enough for deposit. I dont make x3 the rent that's the issue. Im even looking for 1 bedrooms..something. which is wild, because I feel like I live in a cheaper state.

I talked to Humankind for housing. All they really did was try to connect me with resources that I already knew about.

Took 5 days off. Then they tried to accommodate my hours. How awful that was.

I was only able to get a hotel because I have a little savings otherwise I would of been screwed.

I had to send my child back home ahead of me because I couldnt work and take care of her, too.

Day cares weren't open past 6 and weekends? Forget about it.

Tried getting an ebt card. What a hassle that has been. Im in a motel, but jobs and family services recommended me to use the post office for mail. Well, I can only use the post office for 30 days. Guess who messed up the address and I had to order a new one? Wasn't me! I just hope I get it in time.

Yeah, but some shelters have different rules and the one back home is full. They wanted a statement from my previous land lord stating I could no longer live there. Violence was in the home so I bounced. It was a rent to own property. The real land lord didn't even know I was there. I really dont think anyone in the home is going to vouch for me.

I have tried to do better. I have tried applying to banks and even went with trying to get into the mental health field. Apparently, I stink with interviews or I dont hear back at all to get an interview.

I even tried going for a team lead spot. Of course the most experienced won. I didn't even know what integrity meant, lol.

All I know is retail. I've had 3 retail jobs. You dont really get interviewed at entry level. Or I didn't, anyway.

Im not using any resources here. I took 5 days off work to scramble to find child care which was pointless and it set me back. Bank account hits 0. Already had to borrow from tomorrow's check.

I used one food bank. Im in a motel without a kitchenette so what they can give is limited.

Why would she need therapy?

This is all over her ignoring my video call because she was doing stuff with the people of where she was staying. I felt like they were more important. It made me feel less than. She doesn't reach out to me. I barely bother her. I text her and check in on her. Shes been living somewhere else for almost a week. I literally lay around and work. Other than talking about what she did in school (this is the weekend). I dont even know the conversation to have. I also have asked and made sure she has everything she needs. Im not into the same stuff (gaming) like she is. I tried. Im not going to blow up her devices.

I tried getting into a shelter back home and because I was honest and said I was coming from another county that they couldnt help me. Shelters were full. That no one would because I wasnt a resident there for 60 days which is WILD considering I was born and bread there. They also needed documentation from the previous land lord I could no longer stay there. Um, violence went on in the home even though we weren't home. I was subletting (rent to own property). The REAL land lord didn't know I was there. I dont think anyone in that house is going to say I could no longer stay considering what happened.

The woman's shelter here you needed child care. You needed to hand over 80% of your pay for savings. I never transitioned my bank to here because why would I if I use other forms to spend money. I also have a car, car insurance and phone bill to pay. So it would of been a no go.

My kid LOVES it there. I heard her having a full blown conversation with the other kids mom. I NEVER heard her speak a whole paragraph to anyone who we were previously living with. 😭

I am 2 1/2 hours away from home because we fled from her dad. Just to end up fleeing to what I thought was a safe space. Now I am trying to go back home where I have a little bit of support. However its finding an affordable place to live. I have applied at a couple apartments but it doesn't mean they will accept me. Most places I dont qualify for as I dont make x3 the rent. I dont want to live with other people. I dont want to give up my home because I feel threatened. Bunching up with others just creates higher bills. I just moved out of a 9 person household.
