Hi, my name is Sarah, and I seems to have gotten myself into a terrible mess. I was wondering if you had any suggestions. I'm 26, and a single mother of one...right now. I'm pregnant and the father of my baby-to-be refuses to "be the father of my child". So needless to say, once I'm too pregnant to be able to work, I will have no one else's help. It wouldn't be SUCH a bad situation, except for the fact that I'm out of work right now, without transportation, or the means to obtain any, and have no education. I've been a construction worker (carpentry, remodling) for the last three years, and it's the only thing I really know how to do, and or can find a decent paying job doing. That's the bad part. Being pregnant, my doctor strongly recommends against working construction due to the fact, well, it's hard labor and could put me and or my child at serious risk. The only reason I even still have a place to live at this point is thanks to now multiple loans from my father, who now refuses to help any more than he has. I've applied for jobs at every place I would possibly be able to walk to, with no luck. I am COMPLETELY broke, as in I don't even have enough money to ride the bus anywhere to look for work. And on top of it all, I have hepititus c, which causes me to have severe fatigue, and it seems to have almost tripled in severity with my pregnancy. I have less than two weeks now to figure out some way to come up with my rent for the month, and I'm not sure what to do. I've managed to get on W.I.C., and medicaid, before I finally ran out of (birthday) money to spend on trips to the welfare office. I can't even seem to find a ride there with any of my friends, because they all work the same hours as the welfare office is open. Might you have any suggestions? P.S. I'm also concerned that I'm not getting enough nutrition due to the fact I more or less LIVE off of W.I.C. and nothing else.
