Single mom seeking financial help

[Rain728]

I know it's probably a process to get the help, but I just want to know where to begin. I am 19 and my son is 17 months old and I live in Kansas. I am currently living with my parents and it would just be in all my family's best interest if I were to move out. So first of all I would like to move, but that is what I am having the most trouble finding how to get help on. I do have a couple of friends who have discussed living arrangements, but that isn't until April that I would be able to move in with them, do to lease reasons. If the benefits for me and my son are greater to just wait, I can wait, but I would still like to know how to get help with rent. I would also like assistance for daycare and college. I just want to know where to begin to look and what is the best possible route for me to take. Also if it helps to have more information, I work at a bar and get paid about $160 weekly.

The first place you should go is the Department for Human Services. If you're not sure where the closest one is, call your Health Department -- they can guide you in the right direction. Section 8 housing assistance, rent assistance, daycare, and other programs all start right there at DHS.

Good luck!

Yes that's right, there are actually grants that will help you in your financial constraints. I know that the government and some concerned groups have particular solutions that help single mothers start a better living. You should also begin researching or inquiring about this in your area.

If you are seeking for a help, try searching for grants and programs for single moms that will help you pay the finances. As a single mother, finances are just one of the many tasks that might hinder you. Do not worry because there are lots of sites now that can help lighten some of your stress and worries. You will find financial help whether you’re looking for information about buying a new home, getting out of debt, and the best thing, they can help you with your financial needs.
