Hi my name is Danielle. I am the single mom of an autistic 4 yr old wonderful boy. By single I mean we have no one he was a planned pregnancy with the man I was with for 6yrs and engaged to for 2. Things have not been easy but we have always managed. 3 months ago that all changed l&I found 11 violations in the house we rent a room including mold that has caused both my son and I to be hospitalized more than once the city is condemning the house and we have 30days to be out 2 months ago I lost my job as a infant nanny something I love and have been doing for 10 yrs the mom decided to be a stay at home. I apply to about 50 jobs a day my son goes to a school 4 days a week only for autistic children caring for children is what I was put on earth to do but I always get the same answer you sound perfect but you have a child ive tried applying to retail jobs and jobs like that but they want open availability I don’t have I have reached out to ever organization from rental assistance to shelters to city hall all of them turned us away. My son does get ssd but its not enough to live off right now it looks like we are going to be homeless I am a good person and a hard worker I just need a chance for my sons sake if you can help I don’t mean money I mean ideas apartment to rent work please let me know I live in Philadelphia pa thank you for your time and God bless
