I am a Mother of 3. I work for Target at $8.00 an hour. I do have a degree but have not used it for the last 11 years so it's out dated and no one wants to train. There are no schools for this degree except in Houston or other states because it is costly to the school for the equipment. I am trying to keep our home so that my kids will have some stability in their lives. Our mortgage is about the same as rent. We lost our business so for the last few months it has been a real struggle to just survive.My husband moved to CA to supposedly find a better job...but he's finding he can't aford to live there. He's working for a non-profit agency that he started 30 years ago and is only paying $3000. a month. In CA it hardly pays for rent and food and that's about it. When he was here he couldn't find a job. It's been pretty rough. Right now we are on food stamps because I cannot aford food on the table. I'm not looking for handouts, but for ideas if anyone knows what Grants are available for working mothers for home improvements (our home is falling apart). Also, what school grants are available for schooling. I want to improve my computer skills in hopes of getting into something with better pay or starting my own business. As they say a job is only....JUST OVER BROKE with emphises on Broke.Thanks for reading this. Please help. I need all of the ideas soon.
