Things were starting to go pretty well for us. (A lot better than they were before) My husband has finally found a new job, and I was working on finding one myself. We have no savings, because we were living paycheck to paycheck. I am on my way home from visiting relatives (about 80 miles away) and halfway home, my power steering went out, the battery light came on, and it started to overheat. It was just the kids and myself, and my cell phone was beeping low battery. I was praying that I could reach someone to come get us. Thankfully my brother in law answered and came to pick us up (It took about an hour for him to get there) So he calls a friend who is a mechanic and he comes to tow our car. The damages weren't too bad. It only cost about $120 to fix, but we were broke so we had to borrow money from my grandma. I hate having to borrow money it honestly makes me feel like crap. Well she borrowed it to us, we were very thankful.

Well I get home and my husband looked quite upset, and I asked him what was wrong. He said that since he had no way to call into work (i had the phone, and we share a car) it counted as a no call no show, and he was terminated.

I just don't know what we are going to do. His last paycheck came today, and every cent had to go to rent. I have been working my butt off filling out at least 10 applications per day, and I have only had 3 interviews. The first I didn't get because of a fine that is on my record (it should be on my juvenile record since it happened when I was 15, but I won't go to that), the second rejected me, because that's where my husband worked, and the 3 I may have gotten , but it was for an insurance company and to take the class and the tests is 300 dollars, which we do not have. I am so very very depressed and worried. I feel like a terrible mother, because I look at my 2 children who mean the world to me, and fear that we will lose our home. I have started the application process for assistance,but feel horrible for doing that....anyone have any advice/support for me??
