Hi, Nikki
I to am a single mom who is in need of some help I currently live in houston and have found no luck on the internet with grant searches. If there is any information that you may provide me I would appreciate it. I am an African-American 28 yr. old mother and I have a daughter that is 6 yrs old I moved here from Seattle, WA and I have found it hard to transition from the way Seattle does things and Texas wants them done. I just started working after a long stretch of not being able to find any work because for this economy I was either over qualified for the pay rate, did not speak spanish and or did not have some type of degree even though I qualified for the position so I had it real tough. Where I work at now I make 24,960 annually I bring home 900 every two weeks. I am trying to find funding for myself and my daughter for private school and home ownership assistance and any other infomation that you might think is helpful for my situation.
Thank You !!!!
:
I have some extensive information on where and how to find grants that can do everything from pay for transporation, fix your car, pay your mortgage and send you to school cheap opr free- even free child care while taking classes.
: Justr send me your situation (single mo of # kids, location: city, state; annual income (gross and adusted gross), minority status, school name & location, najor, (if in school- these actually apply to everyone), age (sev. progs for older preg women, 55-65+, etc.) if preg with 1st child can get 3 weeks free daily in home assistance, etc etc tec. SO much stuff. I'm a single mo and want to pass on all my research after having tried a lot of resoirces and finding JACK on the web doing it the hard way.
: Warning, if I get an overwhelming response I might charge like 10$ thru Paypal or something, but I WILL answer everyone and also give additional info for yoyu to look into things even further in your area (I'l;l provide contact info, etc.
: I'm a broke single mother of a VERY TWO YEAR old 2 year old! and recently got a great but demanding job; but In earlier searches I found just SO many mothers who were desperatelky seeking assistance from everything from health care to day care and rent and utility help and nobody seemed to know anything. So I thoughtn if I can help at least ONE woman in my situation (unemployed 6 months, borrowed 3000$ fgrom a family who can't afford it...til I got the info I have now), it would be worth it. I just wan tto hear success stories, or at least, How It Went For You, after. I also have some resources on grant writing assistance.
: xoxoxo to all of we underappraciated single slaves
: who work all day and come home to work some more- don't you hate it when people ask: 'How DO you do it all?" And you say, "What do you mean HOW? You think I have time to stop and wonder that? You do it because you hasve to; you do it any way you can short of pulling your hair out and locking the klids in another room!
: LOL
: keep smiling.
