I am a newly struggling mother of 3 that was recently one of seventy-five laid off from my job. They paid us through last week, however, it wasn’t enough to keep my bills going. My mortgage is due Friday and Christmas is about to hit right on top of that. My oldest also turns 16 in January so I’ll be financially unable to throw her a small “sweet sixteen” party. I need money to get me by until I secure other employment to get myself caught up. All I truly need is what pays my bills. Everything else can wait, truly.
