Answer 1

If you have extra time you should take night classes to try and gain a higher paying job. Once you rely on the government they trap you and you will always rely on them.

There is plenty of help for single mothers in terms of paying for your tuition for school. Good luck.

Answer 2

I used to be a single parent and the only things I am aware of are food stamps and a check which you can't get if you are working. You can get daycare paid if you are a student and qualify...There are your standard programs which pay utilities if you have a shut off notice like catholic utilities, etc.. but just the govt giving you money.. I don't know.. that would encourage too many people to go out and get pregnant just to get free money. There are a lot of scholarships/grants for single parents but that's all I know about.. NEVER PAY for anything like that.. if it's free, it's free.. I wish I could help..
