  I am a single mother of two teenagers, one boy and one girl.  I was released from my job almost two years ago and I have not been able to find one since then.  I am a hairstylist and even the economy has take it's toll on that job market.  I have been given the opportunity to open my own salon and have been given the building with no strings and I am working to get it open.  My unemployment has run out for the third and I am afraid the last time and now my ex-husband is paying child support sporadically.  I am looking for any help that I can.  I do not qualify for food stamps and such because I have a home and between my home and my car they consider that too much equity? to allow me to draw those benefits.  They tell my that if I give up my home and car I could get help but then where would I live and how would I get anywhere?  I am just looking for some help to get my bills current and feed my kids.  My kids are not complainers and in fact even my son has been looking for a job so he can help out!  Please if anyone knows how I can get some relieve I would appreciate knowing!  Thank you!
