I didn't want it to come down to this, but I have no other resources. I'm a 26 year old, single mother of 3, I recently lost my job, I just ended an abusive relationship that lasted 6 and 1/2 years. Now I have no money for rent, my electricity is going to get shut off tomorrow, I'm driving a car that belongs to my ex's father and it over-heats and breaks down, therefore I don't even have reliable transportation to find a new job. The town I live in, for some reason doesn't have public transportation. I don't have money for a taxi. My only parent is mentally ill and on disability so therefore unable to help me. I have no family to help, my friends are just as bad, if not worse. I know this is a long shot, but I need some help. I've contacted state workers, and all kinds of public assistance, and they can only do so much. So, if anyone has any ideas or if someone knows of any places that could offer some kind of help or advice, I don't know, I'm a day away from rock-bottom. -thanks, jesse
