The father of my kids kicked me out i have no where to go so i am still in his house but i need help.
I would love to volunteer my time to help Your organization. I have women’s clothing to donate and can also help with tutoring of any kind on my spare time. I have a bachelors in marketing and a masters as well. I am bilingual in Spanish if that helps as well. My specialty is helping women build confidence and budgets, finances, tutoring their children or themselves as well if need me. I don’t have many hours, as I work , but would love to stop by and see how I can contribute. I’ve written before asking to volunteer seems like I never get a response. Hope this is shelter is different. Seems everyone is just interested in a check and not actual hours, donations and help to make a difference in something I feel very passionate about.
I am living in an apartment with my two kids (under the age of 5) thier father and his mother. A couple years ago before my youngest was born I was going through a rough patch and relapsed into drugs and alcohol. Needless to say I was taken to court and had my daughter taken away and temporary custody was given to her father. I was able to get clean and ended up having another baby(same dad). I never went back to family court (like I was instructed by the courts so that I could start visitations and reunification) I assumed that the abuse I endured before was my fault because of my addiction and alcolisim but since I've moved into this new apartment I have bee. Repeatedly abused by my kids father and his mother. I want to get out of here and I need help. I keep thinking I can control this and keep things cool until I get to court and get custody back of my daughter( I still have full custody of my baby though) but it's getting worse and I don't know how I can leave without jepordizing my daughter as well.
I am being physically abused by my boyfriend who supports me. what should do? i have nowhere to go and limited funds.
Do you except donations, and if so what would you typically need?
Do you guys know of any resources or shelters for teens who have been kicked out and don't want to go home because they don't feel safe? In Bakersfield
