Hello, I'm not sure how to do this so I'll do my best. I"m a single mom of 3 children, ages 10, 8, and 6. I have been divorced now for 2 years and am having a hard time financialy with everyday life and expences. With seeing no way out but to get an education, I did it. I signed up for college as a full time student and am in my first quarter pulling A's for the first time in my life. The problem is, when I signed up for school, I thought I would be getting help through the state for things like daycare and maybe transpertation need. ( gas prices being as high as they are.) But I have contacted my local offices for help and am being told that there is no bugget for low income parents that attend college. They only help for daycare cost and things if I was working. I personaly can not handle a job, 3 kids and full time college. Plus I have went down this path already. Being on food assistence and having a job that pays CRAP, my food stamps were cut in half. Again, this is why I am now going to college so that I can get out of the "system" and take care of my family.
I have 2 years before completion of a degree and am looking for finacial help for the whole 2 years so that I can be a mother to my children and earn an education at the same time. Does anyone out there know of any way I can barrow money or abtain a grant to pay my monthly bills for the next two years. I have very bad credit due to the divorce and have tried loans but need a co-signer. I dont have one. Sombody out there please help me.
