Hello, I am a single mother with 2 minor children, and was recently laid off by my job in November. I have been actively seeking work and applying for multiple jobs on a daily basis, but a lot of this has me making trips into town since Maricopa is a small community and does not have much jobs in my field. I have been trying to door dash as much as possible, but I have my youngest child who is in Kindergarten and I have to pick her up from school at 2:30 p.m. so I’m limited on time and how much I can do this. I tried to apply for the cash assistance program through the state and got denied (twice) because I was unaware that unemployment would automatically disqualify me so I was hopeful in relying on getting both means of income and now that I am solely relying on just the unemployment, I am having a hard time with making ends meet. I am currently seeking any assistance on rent costs, anything helps! I know Christmas is coming up also and although everyone has their own families they are providing for, I would like to at least get my kids a couple of small gifts each, but with the money I am making on door dash and unemployment the majority of that is going to my cell phone bill, car payment and insurance, gas, and the rest I am saving to apply to my rent. I am not asking for expensive items, just 2-3 gifts for each would be so helpful. And anything I can use for my rental costs. I realize money is tight around this time of year and am grateful and appreciative of anything we might receive. Thank you in advance and I hope this holiday season treats you and your loved ones well. God Bless and Happy Holidays.
Also, for transparency, I am in the middle of a custody battle that started in August and have a court hearing that is coming up in January and have to find funds for that also in order to get a lawyer. As well, I do have some hope on a job offer early next week but that also won’t start until January sometime (and that’s if I get the job), so that is why I am looking for some help for the remainder of this month. *sigh* It’s been a tough time since August, but I am hopeful and praying every day for my circumstances to turn around. Thank you kindly again.
