I am a stay at home mother of 3 children. I lost my job a year ago, when the company I was working for went out of business. It was the perfect job because I was able to bring my children to work with me. We were doing great, starting to pay off bills, when I got the notice from my boss that I was losing my job. After being off work for a year needless to say savings is drier than the desert and the bills are racking up which we have no money to pay them. Right now my husband is the sole bread winner. I've tried looking for a job to help make ends meet, but with no success. The daycares around my town are filled to capacity, I can't even get my three year old daughter in daycare, even if I was to find a job. So I'm at home with her...making no money. I've exhausted all avenues of trying to find something to do at home to make money.
I cry almost every night thinking about my kids not having a christmas. When they talk about what they want for Christmas it breaks my heart because I know that I cannot afford the things they want. I'm just at my witts end with nowhere else to turn.
