Hi, I'm a 29yr old single mom of 1 beautiful sweet little girl, and I am in this never-ending cycle cuz I had a car, then it stopped working for and now I  have no car, no access to public transportation, no job cuz no car, no car cuz no money, my mom barely has money and she's been helping me pay my rent since my ssi got lowered...I got a grant to go back to school but I couldn't go cuz I had no way to get to school. I'm so stuck. I'm trapped in my apt all the time and I can't take my daughter out anywhere like the park, the movies, nowhere!!! It's not fair. I feel like a loser. I want a job so bad but have way to get to a job...I've been crying now for what seems like an eternity, I wrote letters to churches and charities and one lady responded right near Christmas saying 1 of her parishners passed away and had a car to donate to me and I was so excited although I had no idea how I'd pay for it. Then right after the holidays, she calls me up and said it fell thru that something went wrong with the estate planner or something..

Please somebody tell me what I can do??? I can't stand living like this anymore, my lil girl is missing out on so much. My family has helped me as much as thery can. I don't know how to get outta this situation. I want a life. A good life for me vand my daughter.

thank you for listening, i'm so low, overwhelmed and helpless feeling. 

Is there anyone you personally know that would be willing to loan you the money to purchase a car? I think that's the best place for you to break this cycle. There are also jobs that can involve working from home; I don't personally know where to look, but the Internet has hundreds of job hunting websites that you should pore over. Also, you might be able to find a job with car pooling to get you to work until you can purchase the car you need. You've already been so brave, and I hope you find something that works out for you!
