Family in extreme financial trouble. Can anyone help?

[dancert91]

Ok, so my dad's been unhealthy for a while and was just put in the hospital today. I have a feeling he's going to be there for a couple days.

Anyway, he's been working a job that barely pays the bills and never pays them all. Mom works in fast food for about $9 an hour. Needless to say it's not enough to cover house payments, phone bills, food, and other household expenses. We haven't paid most of our bills this month, mom doesn't get paid til next week, dad has no money and i have $15 to my name after just paying for tickets to a school event. Someone please help us. Mom and I have no idea what to do and no idea where to start.

Also, we have no insurance.
I can't work because of my school schedule.
I'm not quitting school when i'm 7 months from graduating, mom wouldn't let me anyway.

we have terrible credit from past problems. it's been a long tought road.
tough* sorry about the misspelling
I just turned 18 three weeks ago so I don't qualify for most of the childcare assistance anymore.

Call your local Family Services Center or Family Aid, or whatever they call it where you live. They can help you explore the different options available and possibly work with the utility companies.

Stay in school make sure the most important things get paid.
Pay for your house
Power bill
Water bill
Try to get food stamps till things get better.

Things like cable tv let it go.
Credit cards let it go
Try to baby sit for some extra money I wish you all the best.

Call Social Services, Call the food pantry. You quit school and get a job, mom can get a second job.
