I've applied for and been denied help from my state. To make matters worse, my daughter's SSI was cut because she's receiving child support from her father now. While my husband has a full-time job, he doesn't get paid until July 10, and our rent and the car payment are due now. I thought we would be able to swing it, but I had a surprise bill deducted from my account, so I'm going to be very short. We also have no money for groceries or utilities, so I had to go by a local food pantry for help and to apply for utility assistance. 

We should be okay by August.

I hope, anyway.

It's just a matter of getting caught up on everything. The longer bills get postponed, the worse it's going to be. I can't get anything disconnected, especially in the summer, and especially while I'm looking for work and working on my books and doing what I can to make ends meet. 

Speaking of which, you're always welcome to buy my books, art, or Avon through these links:
