Hi
I'm new here and looking for advice. I'm 27 years old and have a three year old daughter. I lost my job last week and am not eligible for unemployment. In Indiana, you have to wait 3 months before you can get on county aid... I need help now does anyone have any suggestions??

Thank you for reading

Is there a reason why you can't work a temporary position until you find another job? Any temp agencies around that you can submit your resume to?

Sorry to hear about you loosing your job ~ its a tough time of the year for that. Three years ago I lost my job of 12 yrs. and worked temp jobs for a little bit, babysat at night & on the weekends ~ anything that helped take care of the kids and pay the bills, just recently celebrated 1 yr at my current job. Not making much, but enjoying it. My husband recently moved out, I have 2 little ones to worry about ~ and now looking for a better paying job before I have to sell the house and move.
Hope you are able to find something to help get you through the rough spots.

babysitting is an *AWESOME* idea. when I move I'm going to do that ..I actually just thought of it today when someone mentioned the cost of daycare in ohio. I know it's hard. I SO know. if you need anything lemme know.

I'm so glad that I found this place last night. You guys are great... I just really needed anyone who understands to listen to me *whine* ;o) THANK YOU for being so wonderful!!!

Hi Shanelle!
Welcome to the site!
Babysitting sounds like a good idea. Also any clothes your kiddos have out grown or baby things (jumper, walker, etc.) you could try to find a resale shop to buy them. Some let you trade them in for things you need now. I hope things work out.
