I'm only making 9.25 an hour with no benefits. I was getting assistance and my rent was only 100 a month. Recently my rent was increased to 478 a month and I went to ask for help at the assistance office. Boy, do I regret that. Not only will they not help, but my food stamps are dropped to 15 a month and they are taking away my medical. In 2 weeks I have to pay rent, phone, Internet, credit card, and my couch. The total of which comes to 1000. I can't work overtime or they'll take my medical. What am I supposed to do? I'm gonna cry. My credit is shit. Its only 493 and that's after trying to rebuild it. I just want to crawl in a hole and die right now.
