Hello,

I am a 52 year old mother of three and a grandmother of two. I am also an only child, which is a lonely life.I am presently unemployed and taking care of my 82 year old mother with dementia.

 in response to jet52...   With your degree in early childhood education you might be able to establish an in home daycare center. People are always looking for child care. Having established the child care you are then eligible to get paid some funds directly by the state that you are in. Working from home will allow you to both work and take care of your mom.

Please is there anyone out there that can help me make some money. I hate to ask for money I would rather work for it, but I have been out of work since 2009 when my father died. I am an only child and have two children and I am the only caregiver for my mother with Alzheimer’s, diabetes and heart disease. I have to provide total care for her. She is on hospice and sometimes she doesn’t even know me. I have been taking care of her since June of last year. I am 52 years old and my only income is my mothers’ social security and that won’t pay all my bills. I have degenerative bone disease and arthritis. I am in constant pain, but can’t afford surgery because; my mother needs around the clock care. I am on the verge of loosing everything. I feel like just dying, at least I wouldn’t be in pain and I wouldn’t have to worry about bills. I have applied for disability, but I am sure I will be denied the first time. Then I will have to hire a lawyer and with no income that would be impossible. I have two master degrees. One in Elementary Guidance and Early Childhood Education. I let my certification run out because I have given up looking for a job. I am CAN certified, but can’t find a job. Plus I can’t leave my mother to work. I have 15 years of data entry by working at The Department of Social Services. I have tried for years to get another job with them, but after putting in over 100 applications I give up, again it is no use to look I can’t leave my mother. I really need a job online, but everywhere I look either they ask for money or they want to know your credit rating, which is ruined because I can’t pay my bills. I owe 50,000 dollars in student loans due to deferment charges. I could do data entry online and any other job online as lone as it doesn’t depend on my credit rating or it asks for money. I have tried online surveys, but never had any luck at that. I even tried a phone sex job, but just couldn’t think of anything sexy to say! Please someone help me. I am paying my mothers bills and mine. I am also taking care of two teenage boys that are eating me out of house and home! I need to make 1,500.00 extra a month to pay bills and to buy groceries. PLEASE, PLEASE SOMEONE GIVE ME A CHANCE. PLEASE PRAY FOR ME I CAN’T SLEEP I AM SO SICK FROM WORRYING HOW AM I GOING TO PAY MY BILLS WHEN NO ONE WILL EVEN GIVE ME A CHANCE!
