Hello. My husband , daughter and myself moved from Ohio to West Virginia in November of 2007. Since moving here times have been tough.
Since November I had been the only one able to find a job besides my daughter who only works part time to make her car insurance payments.
I was only making $7.50 an hour and trying to pay rent, 2 car payments, utilites and put food on the table.
The place that I was employed began cutting hours and I was then down to around 20 hours a week.
I accepted employment elsewhere but was unable to come up with the gas money to drive 40 minutes to and from work daily. Gas here is $3.65 a gallon right now.
So me and my husband have both applied at a local school for maintenance positions. Things look promising but in the meantime I have no money to pay my utility bills.Neither of us are employed at this time but working hard to get employed.
I was able to defer my car payments and my mother and sister were able to help cover our rent but that is all they could afford to help with.
I am looking for a hand up not a hand out.
Soon we should be employed and able to do it on our own.
God Bless,
Jenni (more)
