I had to do that, when my kids were small (only it was Oklahoma) to stay with family. What I did was, check the newspaper for the town in texas you are moving to (most are online now) email your resume in.(always helps if you have a job waiting for you) Hold a yard sale, and sell all you can (its very expensive to move, and unless its a family heirloom, its usually cheaper to replace than to move) I had to move from CA to OK, I kept the family photos, threw our clothes in the truck packed an ice chest with drinks and stuff for sandwiches, and we headed out. I tried to make it an adventure, we played the license plate game (get through the alphabet using only license plates, or who can find the most states, your own version of the singing bee, where you have to sing the next line of the song (have the passenger work the radio, name that tune, etc) I was blessed that I made enough to get us to OK and for a couple of months to live on until I found a job. Check with your social services agency/or your church, if you will be better off in Tx they may help you relocate. My prayers are with you.

ArmyAngel is wrong. During the Katrina and Rita Hurricanes, Texas welcomed thousands with open arms! Thousands are still here and we are still helping them!
Aw...you wern't born in Texas, but wanna' get here as fast as you can, huh? LOL. Sorry, I don't know of any agencies or anyone that can help you. You know gasoline is expensive, times are tough for most people and not too many people CAN assist you with a major move. Perhaps you could find work as a live-in nanny or housekeeper until you can do better. Perhaps, if you are a member of a church somewhere, then they could help you. With three kids, do you not get child support that could assist you in your move? What about unemployment? Just some suggestions...Good luck!

why are you moving to Texas? do you have family there but not at your current location? It's hard to offer any suggestions with limited detail. I'll tell you now that Texas is not very friendly to those in need. Yes your kids can get medicaid and or chips health care, and you may qualify for assistance..but you as an adult will get no health care or assistance. if you do get any it won't be much. Plus depending on where you are moving to, jobs may be not too great to choose from anc childcare is expensive!! I paid 170week for one child near Dallas. If you work in dallas, or any other big city..it's a long commute. anyway..don't know your details...bu thought I"d offer those things to think about. OH! and TX min. wage is lower than most states. it's 5.15 or 5.65 i'm not sure which..it's less than 6 for sure. good luck.

Whoa,calm down. If you don't have to move right now then put it off for a while. As someone else said here go to social services and get assistance until you get on your feet. The 3 kids depend on you to make the right decisions . They have to be fed and they need a roof over their head

Why move if you can't afford it? Get a job there and don't live off the goverment since that sends the wrong message to kids who have parents that do that. Stay there until you have money to move.

So where is the father of your children? Why isn't he supporting them at least? If you go to welfare that is what they will ask you. Welfare is no longer a free ride. If you need help they will give it but it has to be repaid, and if they have to support your children then they will go after their father to repay it because he is supposed to be paying child support to begin with.

With all that has take place with the youngsters in contact u probable paid an criminal expert ask him. Relocation sounds discover if u the two can come to agree. a clean activity which will pay greater and it can be a before ecosystem for elevating toddlers. returned, ask the criminal expert you paid all that money too if your husband does not agree. If he does not supply you any issues. What do your toddlers think of take a seat like a kin with paper in writing in case you could accept as true with X perhaps he's keen if the a number of his toddlers prefer to flow with him and you flow to. verbal substitute w/o all those fees.

Go to social services. Apply for help until you get on your feet.
