Tragedy strikes once, twice......

Can you help us? started this conversation

 

Hi ~ I am a single parent in desperate need of financial help. My little girl is only 8 years old.

Let me explain.... In May of 2006, I was let go from a job I was at for 4 1/2 years, due to company restructuring. Then on July 1st I was involved in an automobile accident that put me in a coma for 29 days. Fortunately the doctors did save my life and my leg, but I was left without the ability to obtain employment for numerous months while I was recovering (I was not allowed to collect unemployment benefits during this time) which forced me to cash in my 401K plan, my savings and I had to start relying on my credit cards to keep me afloat.  I have absolutely nothing left to use. This February I was able to obtain a used car with my income tax return and have been beating the pavement looking for new employment. My unemployment benefits are about to expire and I am frantically searching for a solution. I'm not asking for millions or to be "sitting pretty", I need to get out of this financial slump and get on with life without upsetting the life of my child. At 8 years old, she doesn't deserve to have her world turned upside down again, my accident and near death experience, was traumatic enough.
