Hello - allow me to introduce myself. My name is Megan. I am a 29 year old single mother of a 3 year old girl. I did not grow up in church, but got saved in high school. I graduated high school and moved on to a Christian university. I went there for two years. I met a wonderful guy that I fell in love with and married. We were together for 4 years. While married and really getting to know his family, things got really bad. There was domestic abuse in our relationship. He had no respect for me at all. His dad was a pastor, and I saw a really bad example of a Christian in him. He was one person at church, and a completely different person at home, including gossiping about his congregation members and what happened in private counseling sessions with them. I began to believe that this is what is normal in Christian homes. I never agreed with divorce and never thought I would be in that situation, but we did get divorced. I was in a really bad place in my life at that time. I basically threw everything away that had anything to do with being a Christian. I met a man that was completely opposite of everything I believed in. He drank, smoked, cussed, was the typical "bad boy." I allowed myself to do things that I never dreamed would be a part of my life. I ended up getting pregnant and was blessed with my beautiful baby girl. I knew all along that the thing that was missing in my life was God. I wanted my daughter to grow up knowing and loving our Lord. I attempted to get back in to church and renew my faith. However, this was very hard to do with my daughter's father. I tried relentlessly to get him to come to church with me. He came a few times but was very against it. I tried to explain to him the joy and comfort that I had when my life revolved around God. It is an unexplainable feeling to be wrapped in His love. Eventually I knew that my relationship with God could never improve while being in that situation. I took a leap of faith and left him, making me a single mother. He is not involved in his daughter's life and does not pay child support. He took everything we had. Our money, vehicle, furniture, appliances, everything. I lost my job because I had no transportation. I moved back in with my parents and am fortunate that they are accepting and very giving. However, I will never be able to make a better life for my daughter and I without a job. To get a job, I need a car. I hate to do this here, but I am desperate and don't know what else to do. I created a GoFundMe account and would be very grateful for any donations that you would be able to give. All donations will go to the purchase of a car. I don't want anything new or fancy, just reliable and safe. If you can not donate, I would really appreciate your prayers and advice. I am sorry that this is so long, I just wanted to give you a background of who I am and what I have been through. I would love to be a part of this community. I don't have a lot of Christian influences around me to talk to and get advice, so this would be good. I can't post links yet, but under my signature is the link to my GoFundMe If you can donate anything it would be of great help. Please pray about it and consider helping me out. Prayers for my daughter and myself are also appreciated, as well as prayers for my daughter's father. Thank you

Try virtualbee.com. They're a legitimate work-from-home company. I work for them, in fact. However, it pays next to nothing, but it's STILL work and you'll be bringing in some money, at least. I use it as supplemental income, it provides an extra $50-$100 a month for us. Not much, but better than nothing. The only drawback is waiting to get approved to work, it can take a few weeks to a few months. In the meantime, keep up the job search. Companies like Alpine Access are always hiring, even though it's usually minimum wage and the hiring process is a pain in the butt, again, it's a JOB and it's legit. Another great resource is wahm.com (work at home moms), they post legit jobs on a regular basis.
