so sorry dude. I am going through some hard times up here too. It sounds like your lawyer came through for you. Can your wife get a part time job doing something like fast food or check out for now?
Maybe baby sitting or house cleaning for cash? make a flyer for these services and get some photo cpoies made. drop them off at supermarket bulleting boards and laundry mats and such. Make the bottom of the flyer to have tear offs with your phone number on them like this:

be sure to check with Social services. They can offer housing and food stamps and monthly income supplements..
-
Fuck, man. I had to take an 800 dollar loan from my 'connection' not long ago just to get by, one month. I feel you.
I hope you get this figured out quick. Stress is the life killer. Sounds like a LOT of stress. Did you guy from the state call your property management yet?

I am sorry to hear of this, I don't think 1200 dollars is a very good settlement either,
you all would be better off if your wife had her job back instead of $1,200. Dept of economic
security can mebbe issue a rent voucher, they do it out my way. You oughta get signed up
for food stamps there anyhow if you haven't already.
-
me and the fiance were on food stamps while we were both employed and got off when I got a job with wells fargo. It's not a bad thing to get food stamps like people make it out to be if you really need it in situations like this. Some people just abuse the system when it comes to them by not reporting when they get a job etc.. In this situation i would definitely go for help from the government any way you can until you get back on your feet.
-
when you have kids Social Services helps a lot. they can also keep you from being evicted. get busy on Monday calling them. Find all the numbers you need to call this weekend so you are ready 8 am Monday to begin calling.
-
yea def gotta call them first thing and even when you do your numnber 433436634534 in the queue to talk to a rep

thanks r2-d3 yes our guy from the state contacted our land lord he just left them a measage though and he also left his number for them to call him if they wanted .I talked with our landlord yesterday and they said that they need to know how much we are receiving and they need to know the exact date .I think they( landlord ) know that's not going to happen after all it is confidential and the guy from the state don't wanna loose his job you know what I mean .he said that he can tell them it will be enough to cover rent .

Hey Toy! damn brother, just getting worse..I had one of my cars reposed while I was in the Army..it was after I missed my third payment. After the second I got a warning and then on the third they came for it..
I wish I had any money to send your way brother..i am getting nervous worried about you guys..
-
brother I am not sure if you have a Wal-Mart close or not, but they are doing awesome amounts of hiring right now..i scored an under the table shelf stocking job last year. Going to try again next week...
They have incredible benefit packages and even have financial aid officers around to help you out....
-
I didn't pay a car for almost a year when I was a teen. Took them months to come looking for it. Hopefully you have plenty of time to get caught up on the car note.
Some lenders will even give you an extension or a couple months of held payment if you call and speak with them.

thanks hellion . just got back from church I actually had tears in my eyes at church today
-
AciD: did you ask the church for help? I'm sure they don't mind your donations each week.
tibeirious: Acid Hit A point there, We had a family in our church get evicted last winter and the congregation voted to give them enough money support and food to make it to summer, now the guy works at walmart and so does his wife and they already paid the church back plus helped out another family that needed food help last month..Just Don't be too proud to ask anyone for help Toy...Don't Let you and your family Fall between the cracks...it happens wayyy too much in the united states
-
If you have any local industry, march your butt down to the local temp agency. They'll put you to work picking parts or some shit but the pay should be most favorable compared to flippin' burgers. A lot of those are 'foot in the door' positions that may lead to bigger and better things as well. No idea what your chosen profession is, but you might want to consider it an option, given the current state of things.
We're all pulling for ya, know this. :weedpass:

Damn bro, sorry to hear the bad news, me and my fam been shit out of luck also, we probably hit rock bottom already, only way to move is up from here and so far its looking good, I make money from adsense online while at home as long as i have internet access. Im currently staying at my wife's friends apartment but its up in december for lease, we gotta get outta here by then. You can try to apply for food stamps and housing. We are waiting on housing and are currntly 1 on waiting lists for a few apartment complexes around here, Dont got a job but i got a nice amount of income from my methods :D Good luck toy, keep ya head up stay strong for wife and kids, God will bless you soon
There should also be some services that can help u avoid eviction, start with churches as mentioned before and also the welfare office might know of some other resources
-
Dude you ever try selling your plasma? I got a bud who did for many years. They finally quit letting
him sell anymore when he tested positive for meth. They pay pretty good & you can go by a couple
times a month, I think.

I use to donate plasma Jones but I got defured because I was trying to adjust my wate by wearing 2 pears of pants to adjust my wate to get 35.00 instead of the 18.00 and they caught on to me .they disconnected me from the machine and I had to go into the office to talk with one of the nurses .she made me go into the bath room and remove my second pair of pants then she reweight me .that's when I got defured for life .my brothrer got defured for lying about a tattoo that he had hes defured for life as well

so tibs how do ya go about getting paid under the table at wallmart I would love to do something like that on the weekends .I was shocked to hear they paid ya undr the table shit that's what I need brother

well this was just a Christmas thing for three weeks building up to Christmas. And I knew the manager....just ask. They wont do anything but say no....and even a on top of the table job there is awesome with benefits and good salary..
and yes like Acid Said a couple of times , Talk to Your Pastor, Tell him what's going on....it is his job to be compassionate....most churches love to help..it makes them look and feel good..
I will tell you a really easy job to get under the table is a bouncer Job at a bar or Strip club. People throw money at you to get in the door. And then throw it at you when you help em into a Taxi. Plus you meet hella cool people. And see boobies if your in a strip club..
boobies are awesome.. :titsout:
and for the ultimate under the table Job Go to your local Home depot or Loews and find the group of day workers and stand out there with em. Last summer I got on with a crew roofing houses for like 2 months straight ..I made hella bank under the table on that one..it was like 15 bux an hour...hot as hell and hard work..but damn that was huge cash for me..
everyone wants metal roofs now so I am no longer needed..lol
