Hello, I was online @my parents house in search of any type of finacial help I couldd possibly get and came across this site. I am trying to do everything I can to get out of the situation I am in however I am getting no where. I was employeed and although I was struggling I was managing. However I am 22 weeks pregant and came into some complications with my pregnacy. My doctor took me off of work for a little over a week. I called my work after my doctor agreed to let me return however my work had decieded to terminate my employement, thier reasoning was job abandonment. However they would not hear my reasoning. I have applied to many jobs. any job is better than no job. But I have heard nothing back. This only leads me to believe it is b/c my pregancy is indeed showing now. I have applied for a medical card. However I am only allowed a temp card at the moment,which i have not yet seen. I cannot reapply for 2 months. I have a car, which I make 329.00 monthly payments. However my brakes went out and I cannot get them fixed b/c i have no income. Therefore leaving me unable to continue my job search,or aid in finacies.As well as doctors appointments and what not. I can not pay my car payment this month and i am behind 2 months already therefore my car is about to be repossesed. In addition to this the bed i sleep in is a rent-to-own bed(83.83 bi/weekly) and is due in a week. My rent is 395.00 a month and is also due in a week. My electric bill is 75.00 this month. I am paid up since last month, however it is due again soon. And I can not afford to do my laundry, buy groceries, prenatal vitims or any other prescriptions issued by my doctor. I am afraid of what is going to happen within the next week. I am losing everything I have. I dont know what to do. I need help! If anyone can help me i would extremely greatfuland try to repay them as soon as i was able. Or if anyoone has any ideas please let me know!
