    Where can I get help financially?
    I am 55 years old man, a single parent of 3 young daughters. I have also 2 old women living with me, they are my mother who is 86 years old. She's wheel chair ridden and her older sister who is 96 years old, widowed without a child.

    I was a chef working abroad before I got diabetes which is crippling me now, I can hardly walk and my both feet are numb and I can't stand for longer time that is the reason why I quit my job. I had a little savings but run out because of my medicines, everyday expenses including the schooling of my children.

    My problem now is we don't have money for my medicines, our daily expenses for food, my monthly bills, and for the schooling of my children. I don't want them to stop going to school.

    I am in a big problem and I don't know what to do. Is there anyone who can help me financially or anyone who can find someone to help me?

    Or you can find a job that doesn't have you standing up for long hours. There actually ARE a lot of those. Public schools cost nothing to attend. At least in the USA and Canada, and Europe, most families can't afford private schools.

    Public assistance is dependent on your location.

    What part of the world do you live? We can help you better if we can have that little bit of information.

    The majority of us are based in North America.

    Do you have public schools or is all schooling paid in your location? At 55 years old your children can't be that young and could responsible for their own tuition.

    From what I can gather in 1 chat room, education is called free but does have a small fee, plus many parents can't afford the supplies and transportation and clothing.
    I didn't read this because my computer is acting horrible with Windows 8.
