Need Help - Fort Worth,TX

I'm sorry you are going through this...it sucks to be left high and dry.

is your husband in the military? If so - go to the Mission Support group on base and get help...

If he is NOT military - go to a W.'s shelter or your local church and they will help you get back on your feet again.....

You can also go to your local WIC office (Women, Infants & Children) and get food stamps and they will also guide you through the process of getting financial help...or a job....get your resume together and start looking for a job to get some income in the door...find a child care provider that you trust and can afford - again - WIC and the shelter should help you with this..

Best of luck...God will take care of you...

Go to your women's shelter.
Or a church outreach for the homeless, they will know where to go in your area.
Do you have family? Friends? Anyone that can help you?
Also try the hospital social workers.

Good luck. I pray you find some help.

Scroll down, this is the free portion of craigslist if the link doesn't work. There is one free ad for a crib and one for a baby bouncer and other baby furniture. There's a free couch that could work under fort hood area. Do you have family that could help you get home? You have to find support and find a way home (assuming they are healthy people). There is a presbyterian night shelter in Tarrant county.

Try to find a pro bono lawyer. Any guy that would do this doesn't give a dern about his child. Sorry I am mad that there are people who do this to their spouses, let alone their own children. What a spineless jerk.

Go get emergency food stamps, WIC, medicaid, and cash assistance if you need it. Cash assistance you do have to pay back, but if you have nothing you need all the help you can get.

Did he have the audacity to take all the baby stuff? What the f*ck would he need them for? WATCH your baby if he did b/c if he did then he may try to take the baby from you. Get your family to come out there and help you. I don't know what the divorce has set up for you moving but you gotta make sure you are allowed to move back home in the end, there's no point to be there anymore.

call catholic social services or any catholic church and ask for a number for st. vincent depaul. also most cities have a rescue mission and or homeless shelters. while you may not need the shelter they can direct you to the help you need. most food pantries will also be able to direct you on to other services.

R. - first, let me suggest you join a local DivorceCare Group
(www.divorcecare.org) which is usually held at a church, which should have some wonderful resources for you. There is also mission arlington and Urban Ministries. If I can help you find these services, please email me at ____@____.com

There is so much help out there, utilize every avenue. Go to the local public aide office tomorrow & get emergency food stamps. They can direct you where you need to go for any services that you need assistance with. Don't forget that churches are a wonderful place to go & you don't have to be a member.

What kind of baby stuff do you need? food, clothes, toys?

Call a womens shelter. They can guide you to resources for 'stuff' as well as point you in the right direction for legal advice/action. Good luck!

Check out freecycle (dot org) to get some stuff - it's all free. Also, most local churches are willing to help out in some way. Fort Worth has a ton of resources. You might even call the city and tell them your situation and see what direction they point you. I'm so sorry you are going through this.

I am so sorry you are going through all this. Your husband is responsible for providing child support. You need to get a lawyer asap. Here are a few websites that may help you find one for free.

Hope this helps.
Best wishes!!

Call 211 They have services and will be able to direct you and assist you. I'll be in prayer for you, your baby and husband. God bless you.

Call 211 they are a one-call for our area to get to agencies to help you.
I wish I had baby stuff that I could bring over to you - we have purged ourselves of all things "baby"
There is also an organization called "The Ladders" in north fort worth they work with presby night shelter and a few others in getting women trained to hold office positions and re-enter the workforce because child support or not you will need to get your feet under you and get to work to support your child and you!
Best of luck!! Saying prayers for your strength and comfort during this situation.

Um you need to go get a lawyer now and go to court to get some support from him! Tomorrow first thing do that.
As for needing things for you and baby go to a womens shelter.
Why did he take everything from you guys? Thats pretty sucky that he would do that to his own daughter.

Fort worth is a large area. There are womens shelters, church's that have clothing closets, places that support birth as a choice that have formula, clothing, furniture, and other needs can be met as they have donations, etc... If you go to church make an appointment with the pastor and have a discussion with him. Call the local health department for ideas of who might have help. All kinds of things can be done. But do it now, in the morning. My daughers ex kept breaking in to her new apartment and taking all the WIC. He would bring the boy home then call child welfare. She would go open the cabinets and they would literally be empty. The fridge too. He would take the bedding, the soaps and toilet paper, everything. Then call and tell child welfare she wasn't supplying anything for the child, and he was paying child support too, poor baby...he ended up making a good case against her for custody. I bought a ton of stuff, dishes, soap, formula, food, etc.. I spent nearly $100. When she came home from picking him up from dad and the house was empty again. I had receipts and pictures of the food sitting in the cabinets. He ended up getting 50/50 custody. Which was crazy since they fought all the time and had the police over all the time.

She lost her apartment due to him kicking holes in the wall, breaking windows to get in to steal her stuff, etc...she can't live in low income housing anymore since she never paid for the damages, she thought he should pay so she refused.

-Go to a church, a woman's shelter in your area, Salvation Army (just look in the phone book)
-Ask your church if they might have any food donations
-If anyone offers you something, take what they offer to help you with.
-You should be able to meet w/a lawyer for one free consultation (30mins?). Have your questions ready.
-Call social services for food stamps (again lk in the ph book)
-Document everything your husband says/does
-if you have any money in joint savings, take out your 1/2 of the money
-ask friends you have if they have any hand-me-downs
-hang in there, do what you can and I will pray for you.

Please email me. ____@____.com me your details, I have a 9 month old grandbaby and i am sure her stuff will fit your daughter. I will be happy to help you out. Thanks,
R.

Make sure you get child support from him. Go to court for it. You can get free legal advice from Legal Aid. Go on freecycle.org and look for people giving about baby things. If you have a church home, go to the pastor and explain the situation. They will help you. If you don't, find a church and see if they can help.
