I am a mother of three truely great kids, 2 girls ages 7 and 12, and a little boy getting ready to turn 3. I love my kids and spend all my time with them while my boyfriend of 11 years kills himself to support us. We have struggled our hole life together becomeing parents at 17. We have tryed to give our children everything and more. My boyfriend came from a rough background were his mother provided for the family and his father did nothing. He doesn't want his kids to have to grow up without haveing any one around so he insist that I stay home with them. I don't mind, my mother stayed home with me when I was growing up, but it makes me feel like I'm not contributing to the household. After moving around every year for the past 11 years we finally bought a house. He works as a carpet installer which means he is self employed, he does this back breaking works by himself and has no insurence. Recently he hurt his back and had to do small jobs just to pay the bills, we have been struggleing ever sence. We have managed to keep up the regular bills but the house payment has fallen behind and now we are in forecloser. I don't know what to do. I have prayed and saved money but it is not enough to get out of forecloser they want 2800 dollaers and I only have 1500. Even if I can come up with the amount they want, then I have to go on payment arrangement and I can't afford that. I have thought about going to a local church to ask for help. But I feel like there are so many people out thier who need help more than I do. I just don't want to lose my house. My daughter has been to 5 differant schools in the last 7 years and moving would mean another school. She is only in sixth grade, I don't know what to do. I am out of ideas. We can make our regular payments and stay up with our regular bills if we can just get out of this situation. We are trying to help ourselfes and it feels like because we are no one else want to. Shouldn't it be the other why around though? I hate to ask for money when there are poeple who are worse off but if you would like to help I am willing to listen to any and all suggestions.
