I am a 25 year old single mother with a 3 year old and 6 months pregnant with my 2nd child. About 3 1/2 weeks ago I lost my job, and now my doctor has ordered me to bed rest preventing me from being able to go find another job as a means of income. Prior to losing my job I was living pay check to pay check so I was not able to save much money or prepare to lose my job (due to a family emergency) nor was i prepared financially for bed rest. I need suggestions on how I can make some money in order to pay my utilities. If you have any suggestions please please please send them my way! Thankyou in advance for all you suggestions!

Hello thunderstar17 You are so lucky that you leave in USA because there are some good options. I am so sorry about your work but I am sure that we can find a solution for you. There are many sites who support and provide work to mothers who must stay at home. http://www.homeworkingmom.com/ http://www.mothersworkathome.com/ http://www.wahm.com/ If I find something else,I will post more. But take a look at these sites. You can find something good.

Well that's sad and I'm very sorry hon, well to begin with just ask your friends and family if they could loan you some money enough for 9 months, but you'll pay them back once you get a job and join survey sites like opinionoutpost.com which you can take surveys and get paid for it and join surveysavvy.com another good website love.

Thankyou very much. It's a rough situation all the way around right now. I am doing what I can to not ask my family for any money, only because my mother lost her job because she was on FMLA for so long due to my grandmother being terminally ill, so naturally i dont want to ask my grandmother for assistance either :( I am definately going to sign up for those websites you recommended. I greatly appreciate you taking the time to help me out :)

Hi Thunderstar, You are in such a situation that I don't really see any way around it other than to go to your local welfare and ask for some help. Is your baby's father in the picture? Is there any way that he could help you out right now? There are so so many programs that could help someone in your situation. I think that your best option would be to make some calls and see what there is available to you.

You can try making money on the net, there are various of ways that you could research from the internet. It is not really that much but if you hit well making blogs, that will be a good income for you.

Sorry to here about the loss of your job...there's a lot of that going on these days. I do several survey sites... some have low $5 payout minimums, while others are a little higher (up to $20) I've reached payout in one day a few times on those with low minimums...and recently, a couple of the sites have been looking for women who are looking to become or are already pregnant. On one of the sites, I qualified for a in-home study that paid about $60 and only took about 15 minutes per day for 2 weeks. You can also do article submission...sites like Associated Content sometimes pay cash upon acceptance for some articles. They pay directly into your Paypal account (usually within 48 hours). If you're interested in any of the survey sites, send me a friend request and I'll send a few links to the sites, and a few other sites that I'm using to make money each month. Good luck to you, and rest as often as you can!

The internet is the place to do it. All the suggestions will help you loads. A few of them require referrals, I can help with that. I am part of an organization called Mentoring For Free, that teaches people how to utilize the internet, to make money. We help people build an additional income from home, using 90% the internet and telephone, just making friends, and we do it all for free. http://mlmguidanceebook.info, that is a free ebook, to download and read. It doesn't matter what you are doing online, the training we offer is generic, it can be applied to any company, any position, some of it can even be used off line, in your personal relationships. I will pray for your speedy recovery, it sounds like you got a bit of work cut out for you to make it through. Remember, He never said it would be easy. He only said it would be worth it. With Appreciation.
