I am a single mom with a 12 1/2 year old daughter. I have struggled for years with horrible, nowhere jobs. For the past 2 years Catholic Charities had been paying my rent while I went to college to work on my AA degree in Addictions counseling. Unfortunately, their funding has been cut and the will no longer be able to help us. What's worse is the lease is up for renewal in September and they are raising the rent from $831-$913/month. It's just way too much for me to pull off so I will have to move out.I decided the best move was to put school on hold for now and I was accepted into the 6week Nursing Assistant course at one of the local Nursing homes. I get paid while I am taking the class, but only minimum wage and I only get between 15-25 hours per week. Once we finish the class in the beginning of September I will get a raise and full time hours, but that first full paycheck is going to come just before our deadline to move out. I have no idea what to do! Does anyone have any ideas?
