Hi Gladys;
Teri hit it on the head. Do you have a community clean up day you can peruse? What about posting on a community board in a church or library your needs? Can you provide childcare for a few hours for extra cash? Can you speak to local stores about when the toss their 'day old' baked goods, vegetables ect. that would cut down on food expenses for other things. Are you near restaurants for a few hours work?

Do you have any programs in your country like churches and such that help out families that need it? I would look into that as well. Best of luck

I was in the same position needing more income. I read an article about taking on a small amount of work at home and I was able to make and extra three hundred per month to start with. There is always another way! ;-)

Also should mention that a lot of stores have a layaway plan. Another way is through a web site called free cycle.org. It's through Yahoo.com. Check and see if its in your area. If it isn't, you can get one started. I got and gave lots of free items. I got some furniture, toys, clothing, and household items. I gave away lots of clothes, bedding, and somebody kitchen things. Let me know if I can help you with that.

Hi Gladys, Can you find furniture at thrift shops or garage sales? Even if you just get a few main pieces, it will at least be a good start. Do they have these things in your country? Here in the US it's very easy to get used furniture, even for free.

Please let me know if that's any help,

Teri C
