I am single mom of five beautiful children. I am contracted by a local newspaper to deliver to home subscribers, and I am in college full-time.

Recently an old judgment came back to bite me in the ....well we all know. Anyways they took every penny in my bank account, it was horrible but I recovered. But last week two weeks after they depleted my bank account they levied my entire paycheck. I took the last 100 I had and paid a lawyer who told me he could basically scare them into giving back the money. Well a week and a half later and they haven't contacted him. I can't afford to pursue because I am literally down to my last 10 dollas.

I have tried to apply for a private student loan but my credit score is not good enough. I don't understand why, its not bad, in fact the only negative thing on it is a 77 dollar collection. I have a few credit cards, the balances are at the limit so I am assuming this is why my credit score is still only 600. The credit cards I have are 200 limit cards to try and increase my score.

I receive child support every other week which is good most times I can make up things with my child support if something happens with my paycheck, however as fate sees it I didn't get child support this week and was informed in two weeks my child support will be half what it usually is. This was due to his lack of hours.

So I find myself in a horrible situation and unable to find help anywhere. My main concern is that to keep my job I have to be able to buy gas to put in my car. I go through about 15 dollars a day in gas. With my gas tank currently on 1/4 tank and 10 in my pocket I forsee I will only be able to work one more day. I can't lose my job, I have five children to support.

We do not get any type of assistance and would not qualify with my income. Problem is I haven't received any of this income in 2 weeks and may not see any income for an additional 2 weeks.

Anyone have any ideas? I was told I could get a loan with a co-signer but I don't know anyone who would do this for me. I don't have any family around so I have noone to ask for a personal loan either.
