Hi, I am a 26 year old pregnant mother of two. I am divorced and struggling to care for my two and four year old children. I am currently a full time college student and am due to give birth in January. I am also awaiting my test results back from the doctor to find out if I have cervix cancer, the biopsy was done last week so I will find out in 4 to 6 weeks. In July of this year I lost my part time job that has kept my family afloat and now I am so far behind on my bills that I am facing losing everything, or what little that I have left. I just came up for section 8 housing and am set to move into an apartment on December first (myself and my two children are currently living with my grandparents in one little room and they are living on social security and cannot continue to bear our burdens) however due to the deposits on the apartment I am afraid that we will not be able to move in and will have to let this assistance from the government pass us by. I am currently on TANF but our monthly income is only 292.00 a month. They take all of my child support (250) in lieu of the TANF so that my budget remains at 292.00. I am simply at a loss, the deposits at the apartment total $810.00 not to mention the necessary items we will need to live in an apartment, I do have some furniture and a few things left over from when I was self sufficient and had my own home, but I have no idea what to do to be able to make this move...
