I am now unemployed looking for work. My husband works and is using every dime he makes to keep our electric and water turned on. We have 3 young children who we have to clothe and feed. We have pawned off or sold almost anything of value that we have just to buy food and pay for things. Because of my husband's income we qualify for very little help through human services. We are now almost 3 months behind on our mortgage and I'm afraid we will be homeless soon if we don't catch up with the payments. Any monetary help would be appreciated. Thank you.
