Time is running out for me

So, I woke up this morning and drove all around my my town and the next town looking for help wanted signs or something but there was nothing. I am totally at a loss. I don't know what else I can do, I have my resume posted on every employment website I could find and I get no responses. I am really depressed at this point and just trying to keep myself together.

Time is running out for me

I am living in Shippensburg PA and am about to be homeless. I have applied for every job around and registered with every employment agency within 50 miles and no calls. I was able to get food stamps from the county but I haven't paid my car payment since January and I know its going to be repo'ed soon. I don't know what to do. I have put my resume on every website I can find and have even offered child care, elderly care, domestic care....

Please someone give me an idea

About Krissy7

 in response to ekikaseven...   

I had noone else that would take custody of them and believe me I think I called everyone I ever knew even asking married Soldiers if they would just take custody on paper and they "didn't want to get involved". I even consulted several attorneys not just JAG and my congressman, they all said the same thing; if you get custody of your children even after in training during your first enlistment you have breeched your contract. I had a family care plan but because I was active duty they didn't care. I didn't even get a chap 5-18 I got 7-17 cause I was still in AIT and only had 188 days in at the time of discharge. 

I still love the US Army I just don't agree with some things it does.

About Krissy7

In May I left my wonderful job in NJ to join the Army. I am a divorced mother 30 of four girls 9, 11, 14 and 14. I love my girls more than anything in this world and trusted my sister and her husband to look after them. To sum things up my brother in law was trying to get fresh with my twins and for that my sister refused to feed them. I didn't find out about this until I went to GA for AIT and was able to talk to my girls everyday. In August I called the school counselors and child services so they could investigate the situation. I got a call on August 29th from child services telling me that I need to get my children back because of the child abuse that was going on in my sisters home. I right away told my sgts and they told me to get an apartment and they would help in anyway they could. I went out got an apartment and got my girls back within a week. The Army then turned around and chaptered me out for taking custody of my children. I am currently staying with relatives in SC and have been looking for a job everyday. I was denied for unemployment because of the reason I was chaptered out.

My only source of income right now is the child support I receive and am having trouble finding a job. I am hoping someone can help me get the basics, food, personal hygeine products, etc...   I am also behind on my car payment and car insurance. I can't even afford to fill up my gas tank. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
