29. Have you applied for help with your heating?

I receive help with my electric bill and it makes a huge difference even though I keep it turned down as much as possible. It's harder with kids I'm sure. I feel so bad for you. Wish you lived near me...I'd try to help any way I could. Child care in your situation is a very real problem. Been there...do you have any family that could help out with that?

The way things are now you could work yourself to death and still not earn enough to keep going. It's a travesty.

Big hugs to you and I'm glad you posted with such honesty! You have courage...keep your chin up!
