Hello I'm a twenty six year old woman with a beautiful eight year old daughter. All my life I have struggled. I never knew what it was to not worry about today or the next day. Growing up in a single parent home with my mother as my only provider was difficult. We never had much but we made the most of what we had. Now I am in the nursing program attending school everyday besides Tuesday and Sunday. It's so hard for me to find a job working around my school hours. I haven't had a cell phone since May of this year and sometimes I get so afraid that something will go wrong at my daughter's school an there will be no way of me finding out. Before I entered into the RN program I purchase a vehicle so I we could get around. Now I can’t afford the payments. I had a job for two years at the beginning working as a receptionist/Data entry clerk. But the life of a nursing student made me resign because the hours conflict with the class schedule an there was no other way to resolve it. I needed to make a better life for my daughter and me and that’s the sacrifice I had to make. Now it’s literally killing me! I can't afford to pay a credit card bill (minimum payment $10), I also owe Bank of America and Washington Mutual, T-mobile, Burdines and Capital one. My expected graduated date is August 9, 2009 but my struggles are bringing me down to the point were it’s hard for me to study. Every morning I look out the door to see if my car is still there. Everyday I go to school or clinicals (Wed at 7am-7pm) my body gets so weak from lack of food. I put my hands in my pocket or under the desk so no one see them shaking. It doesn’t bother me much because I know that my daughter's eating because she gets free breakfast and lunch at school and that’s all that matters to me. Once she’s alright am alright. I drive my car slowly hoping the gasoline doesn't diminish before reaching home. It feels like God has forgotten about us! It's not like am not trying......I really am trying…I’m trying so hard. I cry mostly everyday. I’ll take any job right now; watching cloths, cleaning houses, ironing anything that will help us. It hurts so badly watching my daughter suffer because of my stupid mistake, only if I waited to have her.....but I couldn't give her up. How could her father abandon her…my beautiful sweet innocent little girl. Please help us! We’re drowning!
