I have two furbabies and a son in college who also lives with me. My family is torn apart, and I could find myself in great danger if not careful. I don't have any friends with the ability to house me and my two dogs without conflict. I don't have any housing or employment options either. This man makes sure that all of my unemployment is spent on living expenses, and I basically walk around with no money in my pocket at all times. I have a very impressive resume of skills, but even with posting my information on more than 20 job sites, I haven't had a single response to date. I know there are many in my situation, and my God knows that my heart and prayers are with those very people, but perhaps few are as close to being homeless as me and my furbabies. For the first time in my life, I am scared to death. I've always prided myself on being a strong, independent and self-sufficient woman, but feeding my child's prepaid college fund and raising him on my own from age 1 has exhausted all of my finances. If anyone has any advice, I am more than willing to listen. I am running out of time, options, and most of all....hope. Blessings to all....Lisa, Lilly & Jesse |
Hello,
I dont know if anyone has mentioned this but I was watching the Today Show and I thought maybe this might be an option for you.
Its a shelter for women and their animals of domestic violence. Im not sure if they have one in your area but they have 8 locations so far. Here is there website:
American Humane: Protecting Children and Animals Since 1877
I am sooo sorry for all you are going through... You will be in my prayers.
