I retired from the military 2 years ago after 20 years of service, and moved to Atlanta. I was working as a Defense Contractor and was laid off in early 2007. I struggled with a severance package to stretch out during the duration of my layoff. As a result, my emergency savings is completely depleted and my bills are currently more than my income. I have a 5 year old daughter that I am supporting and with the holiday season coming up, I want her to have a nice Christmas. I don't buy anything at all for me, and take less than $20 per week for myself, the rest goes to my sustaining my daughter, my household, and my bills.
I've received some help from friends and family already, and need $2000 to bring all of my bills current and to get my head above water once again. Any assistance, no matter how much or how little, would be greatly appreciated.
