Help with my rent, car note, and Insurance
Hi, my name is Leslie Roberts and I am a separated 40 year old mom of 2 lovely kids and I have been out of work for 2 months. I just got a job offer to start on April 2nd but if my car is taken away, I will not be able to go to work. My payment was due on the 23rd of March and my Insurance is due on the 30th of March. Also I am late on my rent. By the 1st of May, I will owe for 2 months. I served in the Army Reserve for 8 years and I just signed up for the Navy Reserve last week after getting my Honorable discharge 13 years ago. I have to lose 4% body fat before taking my physical at MEPS so that I can pass the exam. With all the stress I am under, it's a struggle to concentrate on losing the weight, but I walk everyday and I do cardio 2-3 times a day. I have alot of past due bills but theses are the most important ones because they decide whether or not my children and I will end up on the street. It was difficult for me to accept a job paying $2.25 less than my last job but I am so desperate and jobs here in Florida don't pay too much anyway. The Tampa location of the company I worked for has closed down and I could not move to Tennessee to work for the company location there. I amfighting unemployment to be able to get my benefits and I do not receive any Government assisstance; I am completely on my own and very afraid of what will become of us. I finally have a chance by getting this job but now I run the risk of losing my car. I am really hoping somebody can help me. I have never done anything like this in my life but I really do not know what else to do. I guess my back is against the wall and I am just reaching for whatever little bit of hope I can find. Please consider my request. Life is really hard and it just irritates me see people out there taking advantage of the system and getting what they want, while people like myself, that are truly at a disadvantage, cannot seem to get around the harsh realities of the way the system works. I have been told that my real problem is that I am too honest but I refuse to compromise my morals and the respect that my children have me, in order to try and lie my way into getting help from the Government. Thanks for your consideration, and in advance and your help. |

Dinner out for kids and myself.
We don't have much and struggle all the time. We are losing our dining table tomorrow because I can't make the payment. A nice dinner out some day might help dull the pain of a hard life. |
