my husband is gone now :( baby turns 1 year old saturday and cant even buy him anything :(

MissWorld started this conversation

my husband is gone, the trial is over. the worst week of our lives. he will be gone for 8 years. our baby turns 1 year old this saturday and im trying to scrape together just to buy a cake for him to make a mess of, like every 1 year old baby should have on their birthday. Im so behind on rent ans my landlord has really been nice about it but Im going to get an eviction notice in 2 weeks if I dont figure something out. I have WIC and medicaid and some food stamps,thats all the help Ive gotten so far..which really is a huge help but that doesnt give you a place to live or me food to eat or gas for the car to look for a job or diapers for the baby. And that isnt even including all the other bills just to have heat and lights and stuff. Im really not sure what is going to happen to us, I have no family to count on and Im not from here so no friends. I have no idea if people really do get help from this website but if they do, the ones that reallllly need it, I hope they find their way to my post...I dont care if I only eat enough to just stay alive, I need my baby to have a place to live and clean clothes and at least not FEEL like were in the situation we are in. I want him to keep his innocence as long as possible, not learn about the real world so young. :( breaks my heart. Miss my husband so much too.

Hi , your story sounds so familiar to me. I know what its lik eto lose everything you love, have nothing, and when you look around, nobody to help. It feels so alone, like noone cares, but you still have your baby, and God. Be thankfull of that. I was reading about toys for tots last night and saw that they have an ongoing support program for the needs of children with parents in prison. Look them up on the web, maybe they can give you the information you need to get the help you need. Good luck dear, and remember you are not alone.
