Break out of poverty cycle
Posted: Tue Mar 05, 2019 6:07 am
To Whom It Might Concern,
I am writing to you with the hopes of being able to find help with the current situation I find myself in recently.
I am and have been a single mother for quite some time in poverty. My youngest is 18 and still lives at home. My daughter recently moved out of my home and is living on her own now. Even though I work very hard I am still living way below the poverty line and because of this I receive section 8 assistance. Recently my voucher was converted from a 3 bedroom voucher to a 2 bedroom voucher. Section 8 does not help cover the deposit on a new apartment or moving costs. I am currently paying all of my income just to pay for the rent on my place.
To make matters worse my vehicle was recently totaled in a car wreck that was not my fault. I also had my driver's license suspended due to the actions of an ex-boyfriend who was driving a vehicle that was registered under my name. The same ex-boyfriend also had unpaid parking tickets that my wages are now being garnished for. Oh, and the person who totaled my vehicle is suing me for $7,000.
What do I hope that you might be able to help me with as I want to break out and not be a poverty stat? I need help moving into a two bedroom apartment that accepts section 8. I can't save for a deposit when all my income goes to rent. I need more income. I have other bills as well and every month I get further behind. Please, if you can help me in any way please let me know.
