Hi.
I am posting here as a last resort. I am a single mother. I injured myself at work and have been fighting a constant battle for the Workers Compensation benefits due me. In the meantime my 25 year old daughter moved back in to help me with bills and to help take care of my 13 year old daughter.
I am on section 8 housing, and they pay a portion of my rent. When my daughter moved back in to help me the Housing Authority actually raided my house on the allegation that I had "unreported income" from 5 unautorized people in my home. (I did not.) Because of my daughters presence (without whom I would have had ZERO income since the beginning of the year and been unable to survive at all) they charged me with Felony Perjury. I had to get a lawyer to stay out of jail, which my daughter has so far paid $5,000 to. She is trying, but her finiancial aid and the little she makes at work are not enough for food, clothes and utilities due to the high Legal fees.
We have managed to keep on the essentials: Electricity and water, but our gas was turned off months ago-when it was summer this was unimportant, but in this cold weather we have been taking cold showers-in a house with no heat, this is making my 13 year old sick.
Unless we come up with at least a partial payment, our Electricity is going to go off as well. The disconnection date is today.I can provide my Edison account # to you so you can make payment directly to them so you know where it is going.
If you live in the Inland Empire (california) and can help me, then in exchange I can offer you free babysitting. I was a head start teacher for years and have tons of experience.
I do my best to help people in need, and this year have made character blankets for the children of at least 4 families for christmas.
If someone can find a way to help my family I would be grateful.
Thank you and God Bless.
Merry Christmas
