Not a Sob Stroy

I really do not know how to ask for help. I sound mean and ungrateful when I do ask, even though I am not. So right to the point My husband and I are about to be on the streets, we are goin gto lose everything even our kids. My husband works hard and I am unable to work. We have fallin behind on everything and are on our way to the streets. Mind you if it was just us and no kids we would not ask for any help. We have gone to all the places that offer assitance and we do not quilify for any. We have asked our familys for help and they told us no also. We do not spend money on things that we dont need. We buy food, pay rent, pay the bills and put gas in the car. We do not buy new clothes, have cable nor do we do drugs/alcohole. Prime example of falling through the cracks. We do need the help to just get on our feet. We would even work for the help. We can do Landscaping and small repairs on cars/trucks. Belive me when I tell you we have tried for all the "help" and have been denided. If we end up in a shelter in this county we will lose our kids. I have seen it done to meny times. Any thought that might help please let me know. Thank You for reading this, Angela

Hi: Im from Cleveland, did you go to the welfare office the only way you did not get help is you husband make a Lot of money they will give CASH, FOOD STAMPS and MEDICAL for the kids, you no we have the Housing advacates, the Housing Network also did you try Call For Help  211 they can get you to people who have what you need , the helped me and I'm in Cleveland, and no they will not take your kids if your in a shelter, you can get Emergnecy Assistance quicker then, they will take them if they FEEL they are negliated or abused
