Hi, my name is linda and I am a single mother of a wonderful 14 year old daughter. I lost my job in October, 2008 and have not been steadily employed since. Although I suffer from severe depression, I have always been able to provide for myself and my daughter until the economy took a turn for tthe worst. I am not eligible for unemployment because I owe the state money and the services I have applied for have not started and will not be nearly enough to pay my bills. I will not be able to give my daughter anything for Christmas, but that's OK, I lose sleep worrying about how to make ends meet. If there is anyone out there who can help me and my daughter it will be greatly appreciated. Thank you
