I am a single mother and have worked hard all of my life. In the past two years I have been diagnosed with several illnesses, lost employment, gained employment and lost employment again now currently working a temporary position. I have several educational degrees and am having a hard time securing an actual career with them. I have tons of medical bills to cover (not to mention the educational bills that will take me a lifetime to repay). The money that I am requesting is to pay off medical bills and car loan and to be able to afford a home for myself and my five year old daughter.
