I can't believe I am writing this.  I don't know what else to do.  My husband and I both work long hours each on opposing schedules so we can keep our two boys ( 3 & 5 years old), out of Daycare.  Our older son now goes to Kindergarten.  We are living paycheck to paycheck.  We sometimes don't even have enough to get by on each week.  I have to feed my entire family on hotdogs and bolona because after paying our monthly living expenses & trying to keep our creditors happy.  I usually only have about $20 per week for food. 

I used to work as a Pizza Delivery Driver but as the gas started skyrocketing, people stopped tipping.  I started putting i more hours and I still came home with less than half of what I usually made before gas went up.  After I deducted my gas, oil and maintenence most weeks I was barely making anything after working 45+ hours & driving over 300 miles delivering pizza.  It was acually costing us more for me to keep the job so I had to leave.  We put ourselves on a very tight budget.  Got ride of everything that was not necessay, I mean everything, but we still are just scraping by.

Christmas is just around the corner & I can barely feed my children.  I have no idea how I am going to be able to get them anything for Christmas.  Our 5 year old has severe Asthma & we spend alot of time at the Doctors & Pharmacy with him.  Even with our insurance we spend about $300 a month just on Dr & Rx co-pays.

When I say we are barely scraping by I mean it.  We live in a tiny 2 bedroom mobile home that is 618 sq. feet.  We have had it up fpr sale for about 6 months now.  If we can sell it we can pay off some of our debts & rent a small apt. 

If anyone out there could help us it will be greatly appreciated.  Even just a few dollars.  At this point every dolloar makes a difference for my boys.  Thank you for your time and your thoughts and prayers for my family.
