I am so stressed right now. My fiance and I have to be out of our apartment by August 30th and have nowhere to go. He just got fired from his job and I'm barely working right now (I'm 16 weeks pregnant and spend most days sick and throwing up). We barely have any money in the account and our very-religious relatives refuse to let us stay w/ them because we're not married yet. We tried to get an apartment but don't have enough money or credit and have nobody to co-sign. Any advice? What would you do? Please only serious answers!

Sounds like you're already engaged so get married and move in with the family (if that really is their only objection). Being pregnant you have enough to worry about. You need some family support and assistance while you get yourself back on your feet.
Getting married is just a trip to the courthouse and usually a $20 to $50 fee for the license. You can plan a wedding and reception later when things are going better.
The other option is YOU move in with your family and he moves in with his family or friends until you're both in a better situation and get properly get married and get a place of your own.

because you are pregnant I would turn to the state(economic services or welfare) that you reside in for help. They have to help you. They can point you in directions to a home and give you assistance like food. I know it sounds crappy but it is a choice just until you can get your feet back on the ground. The only other answer that probably is not a good one is to be married. Only get married if you both know that you are right for one another. remember that the baby comes first and if you know that you two will fight alot than work on the relationship before getting married. I wish I knew the state you lived in so I can actually give you the name of the resources that can help.

first, have him file for unemployment and then start looking for a place, any place to live. Try asking your close friends or other relatives to stay at there place. Do you have any siblings? I don 't understand how parents can let you live on the streets. Have you asked them both yet? If not, then you should. You never know.

Before I say this i want you to know i am serious.
One thing to do is pray for guidance from the lord, pray for help
Another thing is find friends that would except you into their household for the time being. explain the situation, and ask for help.

Check out craigslist in your city. Sometimes they have people who have housing to offer in exchange for services.(ie, helping an eldery neighbor.) good luck, have faith, things will work out.

You should check with you local human welfare center. You may be eligible for public assistance.

Check with your local welfare agency. They may be able to direct you to some temporary housing.
