Get help with paying bills or free stuff.

My friend who lives in the Texas (Ft. Worth area ) is having a really hard time. She just had a preemie baby at the beginning of the year and he is now about 7 months old and she has a 5 year old daughter. She is not working and she was evicted from her home and has no where to turn. I am just trying to find out what kind of housing help she can get if any. I live in California and I just feel helpless and want to see what is out there and what assistance is available for her and her family. Thank you for any advice!

Sincerely,

Worried Friend

I just left a 4 year relationship that was very abusive. Physical, mental, and emotional. There was charges files previously. I took my 2 year old son (which was his child) and my 7 year old son and left everything.
I have been trying to find an income based or low income home but it seems like no one can help. My friend said I could stay with her for a week. And then we will be homeless. Or forced to go back to the man who broke my ribs, jaw, and beat me every day. I'm begging someone help me.

Good for fleeing with your 2 and 7 year old, as safety of you and the kids is most important. There are some rent and income based apartments in Lorain County. Read more.
Try them. Also seek housing for DV issues from charities including the Salvation Army.
