We are a family of 6, my husband, myself, and we have four young children, ages 3,4,5,and 8. We are currently in a financial mess and no matter how hard we work we cannot seem to get out. My husband hold two part time jobs at the moment and is a full time college student as well. I also hold two part time jobs and am a full time student. We are on a landcontract for our house, so not only do we have bills we also have taxes. We are about 15,000 behind on taxes at the moment and are having trouble paying our monthly bills let alone the taxes too. We are trying and by no means are we just sitting home doing nothing. We have tried to get help from Social Services and they refuse to help us. They do not incorporate the monthly amount that has to be set aside for water or phone ( with four children it is a neccesity ) and just refuse to help. If we do not come up with the money for the taxes soon we are likely to loose our house and be homeless. We have no one we can live with no one we know has space for all of us to live with them, and the last thing i want to do after all we have been through is split us up. We have barely been eating. The kids and us as well as been living off PB&J, ramon noodles, and soup because it is all we are able to afford. Again i dont want to sound like i am someone who is begging for money for unexplainable reasons but we despretaly need help and any help we could get would get greatly appreciated.

I am married and have 4 children. Ages 3,4,5 and 8. We are currently in a financial bind and no matter what we do cannot seem to get out of it. I currently hold 2 part time jobs as well as am a full time college student, my husband also works two part time jobs and is a prt time college student. we have two children who are ADHD, Bi-Polar diagnosed children and are a handfull in themselves. We dont generally ask for help, but Department of Social Services in our area refuses to even help with Food Stamps. We are on a land contract with our house are two payments behind on our taxes and are putting every penny to bills. We dont go out, we dont spend money on frivolous things, we dont eat at fast food restaraunts. Heck, a good meal to us would be hamburgers because we have been living on peanut butter and bread and ramon noodles because we cant afford much more than that.
