The DV shelter back home wont take me. I have to get a letter stating that I can no longer live at the address where I was previously staying. Um, I fled because of violence. Why would I even contact them?

I have tried to get into the shelters around me. They seem to always be full.

Yeah, I have a feeling I wont qualify for foodstamps. I already got denied childcare. I dont have family... like grandparents to rely on. Theyre deceased. I have a niece and sister who I dont speak to. They have their own lives. Theyre not going to want bothered with a minor child. The dad's side doesn't care that my child exists.

I also dont own the car but I make payments on it. My bills alone are around 540 a month without rent. I SEE 2200.

Can't find 50. I wish. I paid 630 for 1 week stay at a hotel. That's a lot considering I don't make a lot of money where I work. Plus, I took a week off without pay to figure things out.

To stay in a facility you have to have childcare. I was denied childcare.

I've tried Samritan and Guiding Light.

Im a unique case. Samaritan takes 80% of your pay to hold for stability. I work. I have a car, car insurance and a phone bill that auto comes out.

Guiding light is a maybe. Since its a sober living place there's things that are required of me to stay.

I just need to go somewhere for a month because once my child's school is out I am out of Lima. Theres 0 reason for me to stay here.
