Well I'll get straight to it. I'm a father of 5 (15yr old/12yr old/ 7yr old triplets) all from my first marriage. The two oldest ( my boys ) live with me. My Triplet girls live with their mother. I have moved the boys to an awsome school. But the city in which we live in was right at what I could afford. But now I have lost almost all my work. I'm a car electronics installer ( ie.. remote starts/alarms/keyless entry/audio/video/fix power windows and locks). I have done lots of different work over the years and have been one of the top or the top at my field. But I'm just at a lose right now. My utility's are about to be shut off, My rent is past due for April. I just don't know where to turn. I still pay child support for my kids even though the two boys live with me. I have not had the funds to get the custody signed over even though my ex is willing to sign them over. At which time then I could get some kind of assistance. but right now since they appear to still be under her custody. I can't receive anything  to where the boys will figure in. I have never been one to ask for help. I'm always the one to give everything I have to help others. But as it stands now I have no choice. This is not for me I could live on the streets doing whatever it takes to survive ,  I'm  just not willing to let my sons go through that. I've been through Hell and back with many different things in my life and very little scares me. But the prospect of my kids suffering freightens the hell out of me. To top off everything else my fiance' called me today to tell me she took a test and it came back positive. So now it looks like I have new one on the way. Before you get the wrong Idea , yes we use protection as with everythings else nothing is flawless. I'm 35 yrs old. I have tried to do nothing but right by my kids. To have them look at me and offer to sell their belongings to help to pay the bills just kills me. I'm not asking someone to take care of us. Just really need a hand up right now not a hand out. Thank you in advance( if for nothing else then for taking the time to read this).
