All of the resources for the working poor in Montana

Post by Judd Alexis »

My one year old daughter and I lost our place to live a month ago. And my mother is disabled and can no longer watch my child causing me to lose my job. We live in Montana there is no homeless shelter here. HRDC offered blankets. Didn't even offer me half of any program options they have available.

Please help, my wife and I currently just got evicted and we are looking for work. We are from Montana and are currently homeless. My wife and I are scared and its middle of winter. Can you please help us get back on our feet again? We are not sure what to do or where to ask for help, as it seems like all the aid is for the poor. Thank you and happy holidays.

I am a 29 year old single father
And live in Savannah, MO. I am an honorably discharged U.S. Marine,
And was awarded a Certificate of Commendation for my service, along
With two service medals. I have some questions about how to apply for
Assistance with the rent payments and utilities, or if there is any
Help available to me, through any government/privately ran outlet. My
Son is about to turn 5 in May, and will be starting school in Kansas
City, MO this fall - 2018. I have 50% custody of him, and would like
To be able to provide a small home/apartment for us to live in, closer
To where he will be attending kindergarten (public school), in order
To continue being able to exercise my court allotted 50% custody,
Which I was granted and have exercised since before my divorce was
Finalized in the fall of 2014... (Separated from my ex-wife in Sept
2013).
I, and my son, currently live with my mother and father and
They are very gracious in the help they have given us since I was
Divorced in 2014. I have an anxiety disorder and have been treated
For manic depression, as well as a severe attention deficit
Hyper-active disorder by two separate doctors.
My current doctor has
Worked with me over the last year and a half to resolve the medication
Possibilities/treatments that can allow me to work a job that does not
Place a demanding amount of high level stress, as I have not been able
To work in the same capacity that I have been able to until my
Disorder’s seemingly became worse and have required that I change the
Environment/type of work that has, until about 2 years ago, allowed me
To pay my rent/car/insurance payments for myself and my son. I have
Been forced to move my son (on his court allotted time spent with me)
To my parents’ home where I have been allowed to stay with him, until
Things got straightened out with a job that allows me to pay my bills
And that I can handle given the medical problems that have given me
Countless problems at every attempt I've made to begin work with a new
Employer for some time now.
I recently was hired to work for a hotel in Saint Joseph, and
make $8.00/hr. through them. They do not guarantee me full time (40)
Hours a week, nor do they provide benefits such as health insurance
Which I am required by the divorce to carry for my boy. I as well
Have not had insurance and have had to painstakingly try to figure out
How to pay my doctor's visit bills, and for my medications, out of
Pocket. This has kept what I have made at several employers from
Covering our food/home/power/car payment/car insurance/ etc...
I can generally be reached from 8am to
Around 8pm. I cannot thank you enough for your time and would be
Thankful for any help/information you could assist me with.

Hello,
I live in St. Regis Montana 59866, and have been struggling with financial disaster since my divorce was finalized last November and am now a working poor person. I had a good job, up until 3 weeks ago, and was fired wrongfully, when i was repeatedly late to work, due to situations spiraling out of my control. I cannot afford the monthly payments on the vehicle I was left in my divorce. I have fallen so far behind that the vehicle is up for repossession. I felt bad for a lady I had recently met. She had explained that she was moving and needing to get out from under a vehicle she had, so I decided to help her out by taking over her personal loan payments.
I needed a vehicle to make it back and forth to work everyday, and figured I could help her out too. I drove the vehicle for less than 2 weeks, and it blew the motor up, and is not operable. I have been struggling to make my loan payments, my car payments, my rent, my utility bills, (which I have received the second disconnect notice) my internet bill is past due, my cell phone will be disconnected, and, I have borrowed money from every friend I have and am left with no possible options to get any of this taken care of. If there is any place I can reach out to for help paying these bills in my area, that information would be greatly appreciated, as I am losing everything slowly but surely, and I am losing hope quickly as one of the many working poor here in Montana. Thank You for your time......
Ann
