I'am a single mother of 2 girls and I'am drowning here, between my ex ruining my credit, and my job laying off people , Iam behind on my rent and some ulitilies bills, I live in Pittsburgh Pa, how can I get some help? I applied for child support but the courts gave me a court date two months away, We will be on the streets soon. Please does anyone have a name of a place or I can call? Thank you

HAve you spoken to the government assistance office? There are a number of programs specifically for people in your situation.

Here hon, check some of these out. Good luck. I've been in this very situation a few months ago (and may be again next month!)
