When I left my ex-husband, I had no job, no money in the bank, and an eviction notice on my front door. The first thing I did was contact my church. They had food supplies and clothing closets. I also filled out emergency paperwork with the welfare department. If you can get to speak to an actual person, much of the time, they will help you to get daycare set up (they will pay for it) and give you job training so you can find a job. They can also help with temporary housing until you can get a place of your own. When you talk to them, ask them for the number for the local Women's Crisis Hotline or Center. Even if you aren't being abused, physically, they understand how damaging alcoholism is and can help.

Feel free to PM me if you have anymore questions. I'll do my best to help. Hang in there. I'm lifting you and your family up in prayers.
