I do not like to ask for help, but I am at my wits end. I started a new career this year that is commision only. I make about $100 per week but pay that in my equipment rental and fees so I basicly work 40 hours a week for nothing. To make it worse, my husband was laid off a couple weeks ago and then got rehired. He worked again for a couple weeks before they let hime go again. He does construction and that in our area is very limited. I am feeling the sharp edge of the economic crisis right now. I have extended all other sources for help at this point. I cannot get a loan of any kind due to my credit that has been ruined because of our past 2-3 years of terrible income. I have unpaid debts coming out my ears not to mention utilities that will be turned off within the next week or two. I do not know what else to do. Can anyone help or offer suggestions. Does not have to be charity. I will pay back, but you have to understand that it may not be payed back immediately, I have to get back on my feet. $5000 would change my life and get me and my family back on our feet, but even a couple dollars may help my kids get fed another day. I do not receive any state or government assistance. We have tried but they say we do not qualify due to my self employment. My children are 3, 7, and 9. We live in Northwest FL. Please! I will give my name and other info if you email, I choose not to post my name for privacy. Thanks
