6. try to hold on even if just for an hour at a time-somehow things work out
I resorted to selling almonds on the side of the road in the freezing cold last month-made a whopping $7 one day and maybe $10 the next, but it was just enough to keep my power on, also had a few DU sales which totally were just in the nick of time.

Do you have anything you can sell on craigslist? or on the DU marketplace? no charge for listing things there

have you looked into having your utilities (power) covered by Salvation Army or whatever organization does that in your neck of the woods

somehow I am surviving on just a few hundred a month (just enough for utitlities) and food stamps until I get out of this former meth lab house and can get a roommate to help w/expenses

having raised my child sans child support I learned how to make it through the good and lean times


it will get better

keep us posted
