I know that my story may not be to different than any one else's,but it is my family in desperate need and we are scared. My boyfriend and I have two daughters. One just turned 18 and the other one is 7. We had a home and he had a good job and our older daughter has been looking for work . Four months ago he lost his good paying job and just like that the paychecks were gone. our youngest daughter has Sturge-Webber syndrome,it causes seizures and slow developmental problems and we home school her through k-12.com. She gets a small check at the first of every month and i do not work because I have to be there for her,when she has a seizure I have to inject her with 10 mgs of liquad valium in her rectum and it is a very hard ordeal to face. He was out of work for two months and found a job but only makes $500 a month now. We lost our home,we managed to keep our vehicle because we may have to sleep in it from time to time. We have done that and stayed here and there. We are in a motel room right now and have to be out of here saturday morning. We have called every CAC,Red Cross,AFDC,DHS,Salvation Army and every help line there is in the state of tn! No one has funds and most shelters are full and will not allow our oldest daughter or my boyfriend to stay there. Because she is just now 18 and she dosen't have a drug problem and she don't have any babies and she isn't pregnant. We need about $1,300 to get into a place,First month's rent damage deposit and paying lights off to get them on. We can pay the monthly bills once we are in but we can't get in anywhere! All the low-income apts. have a year long waiting list. We need to get some kind of fundraising help. My name is Mary Beth lane and we are going to be homeless for christmas and my little does not understand what is going on and it is making it hard to keep up with her schooling and making her condition with her emotions worse. we have not had these issues before but could you PLEASE put my story out there and maybe some one would be kind enough to help us. we are a real family in need of real help with no one to turn to and no where to go. We are gonna pay for this room for one more week then we are out on the street with not enough money to get us anywhere.
