Ask:
Ok. I need help! To make a long story short 3 children just moved in. It has been 3 weeks and I don't have a clue how we are going to keep everything on track.
These are past dayvare children that I had. Well their father was killed. he was in the army. Mom is in to. Well their family care plan had me on it still. The problem is that they filled out the wrong paper. and they are mine all three. Mom does know what to do. and we are still working threw alot of thing with the miltary. Her money has been frozen we are trying to get thing moving again.
But all of this has set us back 2 grand
so for all that have a large family where do I start? All the bill are crazy!
Answer:
Oh my goodness those poor kids. How old are they? Do they have any extended family that can help? I don't know how things work but I wonder if it might be worth posting the same thread in the military forum. Can't some of the Dad's benefits go to help his kids? Or the Mom's salary? Wow, some of the things I the women on these boards go through every day, really inspire me.
Answer:
Wow!! Are you not receiving any kind of assistance from the Dad's estate or the mom's salary? What kind of expenses do you have now? Do frugal grocery shoping. Casserole type things are good. I don't know what to tell you, I am just used to haveing a crowd. It must be alot harder to get one instantly! Ask specific questions if you have them and I will try to help.
Bless you for helping these kids out!!
Answer:
Wow, bless you for caring for these little ones in this hard time. If you belong to a church, letting your pastor or other church members know what's going on may be helpful...if something like that ever happened to one of our church members I'm sure there'd be a benefit breakfast, special collection taken, and a gathering of donations of items. You can contact your local social service office and find out if they make any funds available to families who end up in your situation.
