I have made some bad decisions in my life. A slew of them in the past two months. I found myself in Indianapolis. *big breath* As of today I am 11 weeks pregnant. I cannot drive a truck anymore because of the lifting/pulling/pushing weight restriction and the smell of diesel fuel currently makes me want to throw up. Now my living situation means that as of next week I will be homeless. If anyone has any suggestions... help... whatever. Because of the way that the economy is here... there is this huge wait for WIC, HUD, and the rest of the public assistance. I am fairly certain the low point today was bringing my dog to the humane society today because I cannot take care of him, me and the baby. Normally my head is clear and I can come up with something... even just long enough to think things through, but I am holding onto the knot at the bottom of that rope.

I am sorry to hear about your challenges. I wish I could offer you some advise that could make things better, but it probably would do very little to truly help you.

I sincerely empathize with you Elizabeth.

"The Secret" by Rhonda Byrne (if you can get your hands on a copy...read it. It may or may not help you, depending on your interpretation.)

Have faith that things will unfold as they are meant to...maybe even down a better path??? You'll be ok.

I wish I could help but I'm thousands of miles away and all I know is what is possible here.

All I can offer are my best wishes for you.

I can't vouch for them, but according to the website (http://www.wmm.org/) they're the oldest continuously operating ministry in the state. Non-denominational Christian, of course. It could be a secure place to figure out what to do next.

The Center for Women and Children (http://www.wmm.org/ministries/care_center.asp) provides, among other things, "Emergency Housing- everyone coming to the Care Center enters the Emergency housing program; a 30 day program that allows for assessment and direction. Most residents are referred to one of the other programs before the end of the 30 days."

NOTE: If you need housing at the Care Center, call (317) 637-2916.

Sorry I can't do more.

Wish I could help, but I'm way far away. I'll keep you in my prayers, though...it's the best I can do right now.

If you can make your way to San Antonio, I can fix you up with a job. Just have to have people skills.

Could probably also find you an apartment for $400 a month with a cheap move-in special, too.

*hugs tight* this is when i wish i still lived in the states. I would have been 1 1/2 hours away and you could have come stayed at mine for a bit

I know one organization that runs a shelter and food bank in Indianapolis if it comes to that. A few friends of mine in the FFA did some volunteer work with them recently. There is a link on the left hand side for the shelter information and food pantry options.
