I had lost my job about a month and a half ago and since then have put applications all over town I live in a small town and the jobs here are very few. I don't have any kind of transportation so I am limited to where I live. My lot rent is past due my bills are all past due. I get alittle over $200 a month in child support and with that I have to pay someone to take me to get grosheries. I want to stay home and work but I can't seem to find a good work at home oppertunity that I can financially aford to start. I was scheduled to do online classes but couldn't pay for them so now I don't even have that to look forward to. I don't know what to do so if anyone knows how to work at home or any advice in general it is greatly appriciated.

I would seriously consider going back to school and getting a degree. You can apply for financial aid for your children as well as student loans. Get a part time job and use the resources of the school for child care while you are in class. Move to a new city if you need to in order to purse the type of degree that interests you. Use welfare if you need it to get yourself back on your feet. Don't be ashamed. That's what it's for. Good luck!

Have you applied for unemployment? You should be able to get that for about 6 months.
Don't waste your time with all those work at home online opportunities. They are all scams. Either they want money up front or they are collecting personal information. The handful of legit call center companies have long waiting lists and if you do get to the top, you won't get enough assignments to make any money.
Instead start your own business. Look to what you know -- babysit, sew, cater, housecleaning ...

Maybe you could for now put up signs for daycare?
You also could do maid service?
Not sure what else there is to do from a home base job. I do not trust thoses adds WORK FROM HOME MAKE 1500 a week...come on if it sounds to good to be true .....IT MOST LIKELY IS.
Best of luck
