My name is Michele
I am a 44 year old single mother working full-time. I left my job of 14 years 8 months ago. In 2001 I went back to school and earned my Associate's degree in Computerized Information Processing. I now have a job as a wolesale lockbox processor. I was a sales associate in layaway for Walmart until they closed it down. I like my job. I work Friday-- Monday and off three days a week. Two of my children have left home. One of them is married with a son and recently bought a home in Florida. She has a Bachelor's degree in Communications. She has her Barbers liscence and works as a cosmotologist. My middle child lives out of the house and has 2 children of her own and is a cosmotologist. My younges is fifteen and lives with me.
When I decided to purchase my home, my main concern was keeping my children out of public housing. I had no clue it would be this hard to maintain it. I am now considering selling my home and finding somewhere to rent because I can not afford to maintain my home. My house is not a home to me, it's just a house because I can't afford to maintain it. I still have problems with my home inside and out. What help is out there for the people in the grey area like me?
Sincere Thanks,
Michele
