Is there some kind of temperary assistance for the needy? I am so afraid I wont have enought to feed my child... Please advise asap

Answers:
I understand how you are feeling. When my ex hubby and I seperated he was not working even part time. I went to DSHS in Washington and got emergency assistance for my daughter to be in daycare. They asked me if I needed anything else, and because I was working I didn't. I was only on it for a couple of months until I got on my feet and my deadbeat ex started helping out. The point is you do need as much help as you can get. Go to the state for assistance, drop your pride unless you want to be begging on the corner. If you are not working you should be able to get emergency assistance for living expenses and food stamps that will also allow for emergency child care to find work. Good luck and don't feel bad about doing this. It is what state assistance should be for. You can find your local offices either by typing in your city and food stamps or by looking in your local government pages in the phone book.
try a staffing company, like express personel. If you can pass a drug test, theyshould give you the job that day and start the next.
Well you could move back in with your mom or dad for a while unless you guys don't get along. Any friends or relatives you could stay with. You could try to go on wellfare. I hope luck comes to you.
Don't you get Child Support?
There are assistance programs out there. Check with family/friends for advice, get a boyfriend, you can figure it out.
If child care is an issue, there are many churches and community organizations that will watch your child for free while you look for work. Also talk to your landlord and see if you can convince them to take your rent payment a bit late, with a big fee I'm sure, and hold off on evicting you. then you can look for a job. Be aggressive! Go to all the temp agencies, day-labor companies, and job-seeker fairs. Make 100 copies of your resume at kinkos, and apply to every job you think you might qualify for! Good luck to you and God bless, and I hope you find a job.
have you applied for unemployment benefits ?

try the local city or county welfare department. Thay may be able to help short term , and with food stamps. Depending on your childs age there may be additional assistance for food , for the child.

Some womens associations may have a child minding service that can look after your child while you are looking for work.
Go to your local Department of Human resources. They will give you emer. food stamps, the work force comission will help you find job. And the human resources will help pay for child care. Also call the Chamber of Commerce and they should be able to set you up with some local charity programs that may help pay a percentage of your utilities. Talk to you land lord, they may work with you or help you apply for housing assistance.
HUD housing and food stamps would be a start
if you have family that you get along with move in with them till you can get a job and get a place of your own again.
It's time to go after the kids dad for support,, he might as well site in jail if he doesn't pay, at least he won't be procreating in jail.
you should of gone to the welfare office awhile ago Go down and apply for TANF it is very little but it will help at least pay rent and get yourself some food stamps. Go down first thing in the morning you may need to make an appointment and go back but bring a copy of your rent SSI number state ID your kids birth certificates, proof that you are out of work if you have it bank statements and utlitiy bills it won't pay for every thing but it will help
There are many social service agencies wherever you live. Contact your local state work commission office. Many states offer greatly reduced or even free child care while you work. Get a hold of family services and they can help you get food stamps, medical care for your children as well as be an excellent resource for additional financial aid you may be entitled to.

Good luck and God Bless!
Go to your local DHS office and apply for help they will give you emergency food stamps,in the meantime apply for unemployment and go to the Child Support Enforcement (DHS will help with this) and sue your ex for child support.It's not your problem he's not working legally,you need money to support your child !

------------------------------...
: HOW TO TURN $6 INTO $6,000!! READING THIS COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE! : I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little while back, I was browsing through newsgroups, just like you are now, and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00! So I thought, Yeah right, this must be a scam, but like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and address stated in the article. You then place your own name and address in the bottom of the list at #6, and post the article in at least 200 newsgroups. (There are thousands) No catch, that was it. So after thinking it over, and talking to a few people first, I thought about trying it. I figured: what have I got to lose except 6 stamps and $6.00, right? Then I invested the measly $6.00. Well, GUESS WHAT!!... within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I was shocked! I figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my first week, I made about $25.00. By the end of the second week I had made a total of over $1,000.00! In the third week I had over $10,000.00 and it's still growing. This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just over $42,000.00 and it's still coming in rapidly. It's certainly worth $6.00, and 6 stamps, I have spent more than that on the lottery!! Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, why it works.Also, make sure you print a copy of this article NOW, so you can get the information off of it as you need it. I promise you that if you follow the directions exactly, that you will start making more money than you thought possible by doing something so easy! : Suggestion: Read this entire message carefully! (Print it out or download it.) Follow the simple directions and watch the money come in! It's easy. It's legal. And, your investment is only $6.00 (Plus postage) : IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not; and it is virtually no risk -- it really works!! If all of the following instructions are adhered to, you will receive extraordinary dividends. : PLEASE NOTE: Please follow these directions EXACTLY, and $50,000 or more can be yours in 20 to 60 days. This program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants. Please continue its success by carefully adhering to the instructions. You will now become part of the Mail Order business. In this business your product is not solid and tangible, it's a service. You are in the business of developing Mailing Lists. Many large corporations are happy to pay big bucks for quality lists. However, the money made from the mailing lists is secondary to the income which is made from people like you and me asking to be included in that list. Here are the 4 easy steps to success: : STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each piece of paper; PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST. Now get 6 US $1.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope (to prevent thievery). Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal them. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the above phrase, your name and address, and a $1.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! You are requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for it! Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little worried about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the US Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is indeed legal! Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:
: Mailing Addresses
: Richard Horman : 1731 Frost Ave. : Maplewood, MN 55109
: Tanner Wootan : 1654 N. Barkley : Mesa, AZ 85203
: Michael Gillis : 29 Pioneer Ave. : Moncton, NB E1G1C8 Canada
: Marie Geddie : 901 South Idaho St. #15 : La Habra, CA 90631 :
: M. Jach : 1360 N. Sandburg Terrace #705C : Chicago, IL 60610
: T. Mateo : 308 Diamond Trl : Elizabethtown, NC, 28337
: STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc.) and add YOUR Name as number 6 on the list. : STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as close to original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups. (I think there are close to 24,000 groups) All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you make! This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18 Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the Postal lottery laws. : Keep a copy of these steps for yourself and, whenever you need money, you can use it again, and again. : PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants and by their carefully adhering to the directions. Look at it this way. If you are of integrity, the program will continue and the money that so many others have received will come your way. : NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent to you, either on a computer or hard copy and keep the notes people send you. This VERIFIES that you are truly providing a service. (Also, it might be a good idea to wrap the $1 bill in dark paper to reduce the risk of mail theft.) : So, as each post is downloaded and the directions carefully followed, six members will be reimbursed for their participation as a List Developer with one dollar each. Your name will move up the list geometrically so that when your name reaches the #1 position you will be receiving thousands of dollars in CASH! What an opportunity for only $6.00 ($1.00 for each of the first six people listed above) Send it now, add your own name to the list and you're in business! : ---DIRECTIONS ----- FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS------------ Step 1) You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter and drag your cursor to the bottom of this text, and select 'copy' from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter into the computer's memory. : Step 2) Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at the top of the blank page. From the 'edit' menu select 'paste'. This will paste a copy of the letter into notepad so that you can add your name to the list. : Step 3) Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do your postings in different settings, you'll always have this file to go back to. : Step 4) Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching for various newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites, discussions.) : Step 5) Visit these message boards and post this article as a new message by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting paste from the edit menu. Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a particular group, click the post message on. You're done with your first one! Congratulations...THAT'S IT! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroups and post away, after you get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup! : **REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200** : That's it! You will begin receiving money from around the world within days! You may eventually want to rent a P.O.Box due to the large amount of mail you will receive. If you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a name to use, as long as the postman will deliver it. : **JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.** : Now the WHY part: Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low example). So then I made $5.00 with my name at #6 on the letter. Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an additional $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3 and only receive 5 replies each, I will make an additional $626.00! OK, now here is the fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my name at #2 and they each only receive 5 replies, that just made me $3,125.00! Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this message to 200 newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 5 persons per 200 newsgroups react I will receive $15,625,00! With an original investment of only $6.00! AMAZING! When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups, and send out another $6.00 to names on the list, putting your name at number 6 again. And start posting again. The thing to remember is: do you realize that thousands of people all over the world are joining the internet and reading these articles everyday? JUST LIKE YOU are now!! So, can you afford $6.00 and see if it really works?? I think so... People have said, what if the plan is played out and no one sends you the money? So what! What are the chances of that happening when there are tons of new honest users and new honest people who are joining the internet and newsgroups everyday and are willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users, every day, with thousands of those joining the actual internet. : Remember: play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will really work.
