 in response to Dsnyder752...   You are welcome Dawn and I wish there was a program or programs that really helped people..I am glad you live close by a school as many are and have lost internet and turned to the library. I hope you can find work and see the job ideas again for ideas without a computer and check out books at the library.. You are so welcome for the help and let me know how everything goes. There are many here and elsewhere facing issues with bills and health and it isn't easy but I hope you find some help.
Have you tried craigslist for a job or place to stay..???
Thank you again for the contact and if and I can't right now wanted to send you money how do they do that if you don't have paypal??
hugs to you and yours

Hello again

Are you under a doctors care and do you need a free medical clinic for your health problems? Can your work at all by applying to some of the work from home jobs in the JOBIDEAS link I gave you? Are you able to talk to your doctor about getting ssdi?

Have you checked in with this site as many are living with each other till they can get back on their feet some people take in others into their home. It is worth a try

http://www.nationalsharedhousing.org/

and here is the listing one shelter in your area but there are others and that link is good for food banks as well

CLICK HERE

http://www.stvincentdayton.org/

Call the above and they are located in Dayton, Ohio and see if they can help you or know of some church that can.

I am sorry this is happening to many and I really wish you the best of everything

 in response to Dsnyder752...   I just wanted to add here that it's not too complicated to get a paypal account. However the one thing that you will need to join is a bank account. As long as you have that then you should really sign up for one as it is free to join.

Once you have had that feeling of someone sending you money via Paypal you will be glad that you joined it.

 in response to Dsnyder752...   That is okay and I hope he will see it too. Maybe if you have his number you can call to let him know as for banks, post office it is a holiday but landlords rarely take a holiday!!
My friend lives in a small town too in Ohio and has to travel a way for food.
Keep me posted and check all links provided before too.
Good luck and good to hear from you too.

Locate you local legal aid office - they may be able to intervene on your behalf with the rent and utilities and buy you some time. Also contact modest needs - they may be able to assist with a grant for your rent.Check with organizations like catholic charities, red cross, st vincent de paul - I have all their sites on my home page... I hope this helps..
