I am losing my home on the 31st I have to be out or I can offer $300 for one more month... I'm 18 and just got out on my own, please pray that I can find the means to keep myself off the streets. Thank you and God bless.
I’ve been in daily prayer for both of you since this started, and because you have entrusted me with certain details of your personal situation, I can only urge you to keep your eyes on the prize rather than get beaten down by people who can’t understand because they simply do not know.
Dear friend, grace to you and peace. I’ve shared many times with you my firm belief that God will provide, and I know you’re doing everything you can for yourself and your daughter. Sometimes the world is a cruel place and you know it better than just about anyone I know.
I am praying Jeremiah 29:11 for you. Be strong.
Thank you everyone for all your prayers and advice. As my mother said I have not found anything yet. I am still trying but time is getting short. Please keep praying and I will do my best to keep you updated. God Bless all of you.
Thank you my friend, and thank you for keeping the personal information between us. We are staying prayerful. Another prayer request...we would ask that the roommates be prayed for. They have a heart of stone that needs softening. If anyone can do it, it’s GOD! Please ask that the one roommate be touched with the love of God, and her heart become soft enough to have compassion for others. She is very young, a single mother, very immature and bitter. The other roommate is the “friend” who begged Kidlett to move out, that one is the one who started the process of getting her kicked out and now wishes they hadn’t. The first one says “if you go back on this, you both are out”, so the “friend” is being self-serving and allowing my daughter to be thrown out.
Not blaming anyone, just telling how we got where we are.
You have had medical issues for how long? You are only just now applying for help? When you were hospitalized for your medical issues, you could have requested a social worker to help you find housing , EBT, and welfare. But, you are just applyng now. Bad decision.
When she was in the hospital for her medical issues she didn't need the help with housing and EBT...she still lived at home and was on my case.
You let your daughter drop out of middle school ( if I can recall). Your daughter has the right to an education, and you could have requested special assistance from the school, which by law- they have to provide.She dropped out. Bad decision.
She did not drop out in middle school, see...there you go ASSuming things you don't know. She dropped out at 17 years old only having 1 credit. She started attending classes for her GED and had pain issues. It was her decision, she was old enough to make that decision for herself.
If your daughter was special needs- she could have been eligible for SS. Did you apply at that time? Probably not- bad decision.
It wasn't my right to force my daughter to be considered disabled. That's a decision she will have to make on her own and after trying to work a paying job, and finding her medical issues made that difficult, she made that decision.
Living in a rural area in which you are unable to obtain public transportation- bad decision.
KMA...it's none of your business where we choose to live. We don't like the idea of living in a big city, with the big city crime. That has no bearing on whether a person needs assistance/help/prayers for issues.
When the psych doctor prescribes meds- take them. Because some psych issues cannot be cured by “therapy” like bipolar disorder,schizophrenia, depression. By not following advice she exacerbated her mental health condition. Bad decision.
Again, none of your business if she decides she doesn't want to be doped up. Most Conservatives will applaud her decision to avoid those medications, I am one of them.
My advice to you is start being proactive rather than reactive in the future, becaue life has a way of throwing bombs in your direction, especially when you have physical and mental health issues. I can make a one liner about prayers going your way, but I am not like that. I tell it like it is.
We will consider your advice and act on it as we deem appropriate. Thank you
If I was you, I would be on the phone daily to your local social service agency requesting help in housing, welfare asssistance. Start being proactive.
She has been there, done that. She isn't eligible for welfare and she refuses to run out and get pregnant just so she can get cash assistance.
They can go to a shelter, in the city...which is 25 miles from where she is...if there is room. They are full and there is a waiting list. ...and, she is not eligible for welfare, and she refuses to run out and get pregnant just so she would be!
Contact your local Walmart.
You can be a Walmart greeter from a wheelchair.
Contact temp agencies and find out what temporary jobs you qualify for.
Contact your local college and learn a trade.
Contact property rental companies and find out how you can rent a room month by month.
You and your Mom are very skilled at using the computer. Maybe you both can check out these links to look for a job:

Bump to your post no. 194 2ndDivisionVet.
Any progress at all? How can room-mates kick someone out? Even if they don’t get along, it seems so heartless. Prayers continue.
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:
Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of general interest.
Oops! I meant to reply to post #225. My bad! I have been keeping up to date, but didn’t know if anything had come up in the last day or so.
Not a problem! :-)
“How can room-mates kick someone out? “
Come to think of it, they can’t. They’re subject to landlord-tenant laws and they have to do it by the book.
I am praying and will add you to my prayer list. Keep us posted, please.
The roommate was the original person on the lease. They allowed my daughter and her friend to move in to help with the bills and the housekeeping. She IS heartless. My daughter was on the phone with my mother last night and the roommate came into the room cussing and screaming that maybe “your bitch mother or grandmother will let you move in with them”. The roommate is bipolar, has the most horrific mood swings and is sometimes violent.
Thank you for the continued prayers. She really needs them right now!
I replied to this comment, just above. They forced her to sign a note agreeing that she had to be out by the first.
Thank you for keeping my girl in your prayers. She is severely stressed and not sleeping well...she is hoping there will be good news tomorrow. We will let you know as soon as something happens.
Sorry, I didn’t see that post and not sure which one.
But by law, your daughter has to be given 60 days.
If the letter she signed says she is to leave, then she has 60 days from that date.
If she fails to leave in that time, then the person must go to the county courthouse and file for eviction.
This being the hostile situation that you’ve described is another thing altogether, and I can understand why you don’t want her staying there.
All I’m saying is, they cannot just kick her out on a short notice, a date picked from random, so she has some time if you do want to take advantage of the law.
You’ve been a FReeper since you were 11???
Any help might take too long.
You need a listing of shelters that might help you.
http://www.georgiaplanning.com/shelters/
One possible place for help is needhelppayingthebills.com
http://www.needhelppayingbills.com/html/cobb_county_rent_assistance.html
That’s linked to Cobb County but other counties are in the listings as well.
