I am a husband with three children under 18, my wife and I are unemployed and we are falling behind on bills, and rent. Does anyone know how we can receive some help. We are in atlanta Georgia.

Hi, howsond!
I'm sorry that no one has yet come along to address your question!
What sort of education, skills, training, job experience and interests do you and your wife have, please?
I'm self-employed with everything that I do to make a living.
Thanks!

I am very comfortable around the computer, and a quick learner. Been in customer service, sales, and HR for the military. My wife has experience in preschool teaching, she wants to do something homebased too.

Check into working at public libraries and hospitals. Get your foot in the door, even just part time, and then be creative in how you present yourselves. Libraries and hospitals both have computers and children.

Could your wife tutor for extra money? Does she have any connections in the school district that could recommend her services to parents? Or if she prefers dealing with younger children, how about babysitting? Put the word out that she is available. I'm would think parents would be happy to leave their children with a mature woman with lots of experience.
As for you, start an Ebay business. Begin by selling things around your house that you don't really need. Go through the garage, attic, closets, etc. Even be willing to give up things you like, but think you could make money off. Then start looking for bargains at yard sales or clearance sales. Then turn around a sell them on Ebay for a profit.

I know a person who made their entire living for awhile selling costume jewelry on eBay. He would go to garage sales to buy them real cheap.
