Disabled Single Mom needs help for school

Posted in Msmorgan on Jan 11, 2006... modified on Jan 11, 2006

Hi..if anyone out there has any thoughts on how I can get some help to pay for living expenses while in school please HELP!!! I am receiving Pell and loans, but it's not enough to even come close to live on. I am a 28 year old single Mom  with a 5 year old son.  In April, I was hit by a drunk driver and hurt very badly.  Although, I am recovering, I have a lot of limitations and can't work.  Finishing my education has become more crucial for us then ever before.  Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

more about me?  I have been in school for the last 10 years.  When your a single mom it's impossible to work full time and be a mom (well, a good one anyway).  We were getting by and doing well until last April, when I was hit by a drunk driver.  I won't get into the details of my injuries, but there are several.  At the beginning of the fall semester I went full time (internet courses) and did really well .  We were able to get by on savings and I got the Pell, loans, and Food Stamps....but the savings is gone.  It is vital to my family that I complete my degree.  Companies say that they comply with the disability act, but the reality is that if two people that are equally qualified apply for the same position and one of the applicants suffers from a disability...the odds aren't in their favor.  I need to be a major asset to my future employer and the only way to do that is to complete my education.
