I am losing my home on the 31st I have to be out or I can offer $300 for one more month... I'm 18 and just got out on my own, please pray that I can find the means to keep myself off the streets. Thank you and God bless.
Not interested in that mess. Prefer to point to my son who has used military to get a college education, be commissioned a second Lt in December, and probably 18 months from now begin flight school.
Getting sodomized has not been a part of it.
And I won’t be responding any further to your thread hijack.
Is it legal for your landlord to forbid your child to live with you? I realize leases can be strict because of subletting issues, but you do have a right to have guests. Can you have her stay as a guest just until she can find other housing?
prayers sent
Yeah, I saw that issue. Still, she has options that haven’t sounds like haven’t been considered. Where there is a will, there is a way.
Sounds like the first item is to get out of the home of this person who broke their promise to cover her boarding. May people pay good money just to have someone sit with them.
Who, your daughter we are talking about or the person she had moved in with?
As a side note, when did she graduate from high school?
Thank you for adding some sanity to the thread.
This is my daughter. I have serious health issues and have no income to help. Her brother is 13, her gramma is disabled, her father is a deadbeat that is over 12000 behind in support payments. I am forbidden from taking her in by my landlord (who lives in the home). She has never touched drugs, she may drink one mixed/frozen drink a month (when she lived at home and I let her have one), she has never been in trouble with the law. She was sheltered and fell for the line fed to her by a “friend” who begged her to move with them into a home when another single mother. The home has been hostile almost from the beginning. My daughter is disabled and has to use a wheelchair sometimes and a walker or cane at other times...right now, she is in the chair. Thank you for the information about the youth help, we will check the city and see if they have a special program for that.
I keep reading this thread of the stuggles you and your daughter are going through and I am heartbroken. Are you two even in the same town?
I say to hell with what your landlord forbids. Bring your daughter back to your home and ~dare~ the landlord to evict you.
(But this is just me talking - I really don’t know what to say except God Bless.)
When I was 18 and graduated from high school I thought I knew everything.
I suddenly realized that, in fact, I knew nothing to support myself for the rest of my life.
I joined the Marines. It was the best thing I ever did, aside from getting married eight years later.........
Think about it. They will feed you. House you. train you in a marketable skill, mine was electronics, specifically Test Instrument Repair and Calibration.
You give them four years, they’ll give you a lifetime........
She is just as broke as me and is living on mere grace of her landlord that she lives with... She is also wheelchair bound same as me right now.
I’m in Rincon GA. I don’t know if there are any closer then Savannah and I think they cost.
Prayers for the kidlett to getvthechelp she needs, and you too!!
"Forbidden???" By whom?
you know my family... and they are all asking for help too. my mother is having to fight every day to survive and feed my only brother (KidlettCZR) and he is only 13 and can’t do anything. most of you were here when my father took me and my little brother. my grandmother is too far away and is struggling herself... other then that all I have is my family here.
I do pray for you. You and your mom have my prayers.
You may not yet be experienced in the ways of survival and success. But based on where you are now, you will be shortly. Many of us have been where you are in some form or another (maybe not as tight as your in now). Start with the right mindset. You are smart. Get determined and passionate. Focus on what needs to be done with ferocious intentions. Take it one day at a time for now.
Finally, make sure you keep the BIG picture in focus too. You'll get through this. Faithful, hardworking, well intended people always do. And believe it or not, you will be stronger for having gone through it.
Good luck and many prayers. I have faith in you and in God.
She is stuck in a wheelchair with no Diploma or GED...and lives about 6 miles from town. In this case, the 300 is so far away, I’m truly scared for her safety.
Thank you! I see so much judgement against her, but she truly is willing if she were able.
God Bless you my friend!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Have you called this place? May or may not help. But if/when you reach a dead end - ASK the agent or counselor who else can help? Where else can you call?
You will find NO is the answer 99 times out of a 100. But on that 100th try - God will open a door for you.
All good suggestions.
