I ask this because there may be temp jobs your husband could do--for example, parts of MO got hit with high winds and many people here are needing help reroofing or cutting trees from the damage.
We may be able to offer ideas that way as well.
Also, have you checked into subsidized rent? Does your landlord participate in the program?

We don't really have any expenses anymore as we have been moneyless for a couple weeks. We basically borrow money here and there for gas and we use food stamps for food and Christmas gift cards for other necessities. Once we have income again, I will be able to evaluate our income vs. expenses and I WILL NOT mess it up like we did before. I definitely learned my lesson there and that is my number one NY's resolution.
We live in Cleveland, Tennessee. (About 30 minutes from Chattanooga)
My husband can't do a lot of "labor" because of a knee problem, but he's great with computers (he is almost certified due to some HS classes he participated in and almost had a scholarship until some things pushed him down another road.
He recently had an interview with a staffing agency and they are going to call back by Monday with matches to his skills! We are so thrilled.
There isn't much around here that is subsidized AND safe, and I have no intentions raising my child in that kind of area. I have looked into it but so much goes on and I wouldn't feel comfortable for a second.
I'm relying on faith at this point to get us through this, but I'm not doing it alone. I'm pushing and shoving to get to a solution before Monday comes around. Keep your fingers crossed!
