Homeless single mom

[Steve Lehman]

To whom this may concern, I'm a single mother
raising 3 amazing children ages 7 and 6 and we are currently homeless. I
have no family members up all my family lives in Miami FL I moved up here
to better my life for my children. I’ve been sheltering to shelter, and they are
all a day service only due to their full. I recently got evicted at my old
apartment due to a dispute with a neighbor and my ex was not wanted on
property which was through public housing. I can’t receive relocation
assistance because I've already received it. I applied for certain HUD but
denied due to this eviction on my record.
Ever since we've been home to
home to make sure my children and I won't be on the streets or so they
won't take my children away from me. I currently have an open DCF case
which will be closing soon due to a domestic assault against my ex whose
currently incrassated and my children was present in the home but was no
where around the dispute so DCF did protocol and open a case on me. DCF has
done nothing to put me in my children in home. I've even call the regional
the head department and they couldn't assistance us but refer us to a
shelter.
I'm currently living with a friend for the past 2 months in a half
and the only assistance my case worker helped me with was pay portion of me
friends rent for the month of January and paid for my security deposit for
my security license deposit fee. I applied for cash assistance for single mothers, got approved
but since I've been changing address back and forth they sent a mail to an
old address where I was no longer at and when I received the mail I had to
do an assignment and by the time I got the mail my deadline to complete the
assessment was past already I still did it but now there cutting me
Benefits off and that’s the only way I can take care of my children and feed
them and help with rent where we're currently living at. I need help and
I'm going through a hardship and I want to be stable again. I’ve heed help for housing
calling 211 every Monday and every other day but the only agency that's has
funds have already assisted me. And I'm running out of options I can't work
a 9-5 because I have no reliable sitter or transportation or after care child
care. Now a day you can't trust anyone to watch your children and I've
made the sacrifice as a mother to not work to watch my children there are
my everything and I love my children to death they deserve the world. I
just need the correct assistance to get on my feet to provide for me
children so I'm begging you to please help my children and I find an agency
that can assist us with rental deposit please I'm begging you. Please
contact me. Tank you and God bless.

Hello, my name is Debra and I am in need of help paying for my motel room before I am homeless. I was a single mom but my oldest son committed suicide last October and I lost my apartment paying for his funeral. I went to the Camden County Board of Social services for Emergency Housing and had a note from my Family doctor stating that I" could not be in a shelter setting due to extreme social anxiety because it was the year mark for my son’s death and the month of his Birthday. SS stated they only had the shelter to offer me. So I have my 29 tear old handicapped son with me so I took him to the /Camden County Emergency Housing and they offered him the same thing - the shelter for homeless single moms. My youngest son is on SSI and I receive GA we exhaust all those monies toward our room but it does not cover the how month for us. We need help paying for this room so we stay off the street and could save for us to get our own apartment. Please help a mother who is in dire straits!!!!!
