Quote From: figgieshane

Hi all!  Here is my sorry.  We are currently living on one income and have since we returned from Okinawa.  We are a military family and that is not what it is cracked up to be.  We have one daughter and she is the love of our lives.  I would like to provide for her in the ways that our parents provided for us, but that seems so impossible these days.  I am having the hardest time in the world finding a job.  I have applied everywhere, and nothing is hiring.  I am a paramedic and working on transfering my cert over to this state, but that seems like it will never happen.  I have done everything the state has asked me to do, but nothing seems to work.  I cannot have any patient contact until I am certified in this state.  Also, we were a victum of fraud in June.  That makes the finances even harder to deal with.  We were "OK" for another 3-4 months until that happend.  That set us back about 2yrs of savings and more money to fix it.  I am at the end of my rope with all these money problems.  To make matters worse, my husband is in Iraq at the moment.  I am not sure of his return either.  It is a never ending problem week after week.  When will it end?  I know I cannot stay this way for my daughters sake.  I just don't know what to do anymore.  What is there left for me to do?  I am trying everything I know.  HELP Please!!!  Maybe someone out there can point me in a better direction than I am already going?
