About alkj1980

Hello to all... I joined Aidpages awhile back, I have had some hard times and some ups & downs, as I am sure everyone knows that it does happen in life. I am a single woman with no children. I have recently just lost my job due to being laid off, the comapny I worked for went through a big change and of course the lower on the todem pole you are, well you are the one that gets the pink slip. I wasn't making the best money, but atleast it was something. It is now the end of September, I have fell behind on my rent, which is $475.00 a month and since I lost my job at the end of July, I am close to loosing my apartment. I am truly scared! I don't have a lot of utility bills because they are included in the rent(thank goodness for that atleast). I have tried to go to my local treasury & other assistance type programs, but I do not qualify for help due to the fact I do not have any dependent's(children or anyone else who lives with me). Our town is quite small so there are not many places I can go for help. And other surrounding counties will not help you unless you live in there county. So I am truly running out of options. I don't have any family that can help, and what family I do have they are strapped financially themselves. I have been looking for work, but so far no luck:(. If anyone has any suggestions or information on assistance type help, I am all ears. I need help with groceries, and trying to pay rent. I can do without a phone, tv, and any other luxuries. I just need to get by on the basics.
