Answer 1

Well, are you a single mom? If so the father of these children is also responsible to help you financially. If you are not getting what you need from him then there are organizations that will help you get the back child support from him. It's called Support Enforcement. Check out public assistance, they usually have the info on Support Enforcement, it's a free service. Also you should be able to get section 8 thru public assistance if you are low income. Have you checked out public assistance to see about getting some food stamps, etc. for your children? There are programs thru the Gleaner's and The United Way that may be able to help you as well. You can also go thru your local cheap-cycle or free-cycle groups to get help with low income housing and such. Check out www.freecycle.org and www.cheapcycle.com.

Answer 2

What exactly are you trying to ask? People fall on hard times, do you have family or friend to help you untill you can get back on yoru feet and save some money. There are tons of government funded programs for people that need assistance, WIC, foodstamps, medicaid, hud, sec.8. Look into it, good luck~

Answer 3

Get another job or a better paying one?

Ask the teenaged ones to get a job and help with bills?

Downsize to a smaller/less expensive dwelling?

Cut other expenses?

I need more details in your question to really be helpful.

What a bizarre question. Are you asking if it's ok to put your children out on the street to fend for themselves? Try getting a couple of jobs and working.
