Single Mother of 4 Needs Help With Phone Bill After Unexpected Bills

My Story:

I am a divorced single mom with 4 kids, ages 15, 11, 7 and 2. The 3 oldest are boys and the youngest is a girl. My 15 year old just completed his sophomore year in high school and he received a summer job with the city of Raleigh as a Jr. Counselor. He is into graphic design and would like to become an engineer. My 11 year old just completed elementary school and he loves rollerblading. My 7 year old will be going to 2nd grade and he loves to dance and loves to talk. My 2 year old is in daycare and loves to sing and dance and she is very energetic. I work full-time as an HR Administrator with a construction electrical company.

As a single mom of 4 kids I live paycheck to paycheck and don�t receive any type of help. I have started the process of applying for child support about 3 months ago but have yet to hear about the update of that. I have only one income and I find it difficult to keep up with the basic expenses each month adding on late fees to bills which make it even harder to keep up. Because of this I am unable to save which is quite scary for me as a single mom. My car is on its last legs and I am hoping it carries me through until things get better financially. I had many medical and unexpected expenses come up and now I need Modest Needs� help with my phone bill.

This funding will help give me a cushion in getting back on track. I was doing Lyft and Uber but since my search engine light has been on and my tires are bald I do not want to risk having other people in my car. I am a hard worker and do not mind working hard just need help in getting the right clients in front of me who need my services. Your help will definitely help me and give me hope that things will eventually turn around for us.
