Please help a mother do better for her kids!!!

I’m a mother of 3 and I have made decisions in life to give my children the life I never had as a child. However, a few years ago, I lost my job and tried to work for someone I knew. It didn’t work out and instead of me making income, I became further in debt and even though a tried to stick it out with them, after 3 months of no income I told them I would be looking for another job because my bills were piling up and they did not care for the safety of me and my kids. They felt that I was being selfish and tried to tarnish my work history for potential employers. They succeeded at first, but my old job took me back and since they knew what kind of employee I was they paid no mind to what someone I considered a friend said about me. I’ve been working nonstop, with the exception on taking a day off work for rest, but I have yet to rid myself of my now debt. Sad part is, before I had that hiccup a few years ago, I was mostly debt free. Now I am struggling and asking for help to clear my debt so that I can spend more time with my kids. Save to take them on vacations and not have to stress or avoid calls. I am sincerely grateful for the help anyone gives! You really don’t know how much this means to us!
