I am so sorry to hear about this! I am a mother and understand exactly how you feel. Not long ago I was in a very tight financial situation and was unable to buy much other than necessities for my daughter. I hated going into stores and seeing toys and things that I couldn't get for her. My heart was broken. But recently things have greatly improved. My husband was able to support us on a decent salary and we have health benefits! Thank God! If I knew where you lived then I could give you more resources on local organizations. If you are looking for a new place to live, then there are many shelters that can help women and children. I am not sure what kind of environment it is living with your mother but this is something that should be explored only in the situation that you have no secure place to go.
Apply for Disability as soon as possible if you haven't. Your local shelters and crisis hotlines can give you resources of places to live HUD or for low income housing that would give you and your family their own place to live. Get on a waiting list. Once your application has been approved and you move to your own residence then the disability will increase as well as you will be eligible for assistance with groceries and sometimes even the electric and phone companies offer lower rates. You should also request child support from the father of your children. They are responsible to pay it as long as you have them living with you.
As far as Christmas is concerned there are local churches and places that will give toys to you and your kids. The shelter also has resources for that but I don't know where you live so it is hard for me to give a specific number. My e-mail address is smunfifa@yahoo.com. I am willing to help you give your girls some gifts for Christmas but need an address of where to send. Please write and let me know as I would love to help you. I am a military wife and mother to one and a half (pregnant).

i imagine he ought to tutor understand for his little ones through giving them the proper practise he can, that's why he chosen Sidwell associates....I dont comprehend in case you have ever been to DC or comprehend something about the prevalent public colleges there, yet i ought to have finished a similar for my little ones if i replaced into interior the placement to and so ought to maximum DC mom and father. Public practise in maximum city districts is abysmal and hopefully which will be addressed through this incoming administration, because it hasn't been addressed through the Bush crew. sounds like you've a own beef with the youngsters in DC colleges.
