Hello all.  I'm 14 years old and luv to hang with my friends and family.  Lately things have been hard for my mom and us.  My step dad left and took our money and the only car we had to use.  Well, we have a van, but he broke it before he left so it doesn't run and the landlord just had it hauled off anyway.  My mom's been crying a lot because she can't find work and we are getting kicked out of our home soon because we can't afford the rent.  I want to help, but I don't know how.  I help her watch my sister and brother when we walk around town looking for a job for her, but it's not enough.  She's been talking to social services about putting my sister and brother in foster care and she told me I might have to go live with my dad.  I don't want to live with him and I don't want to not see my brother and sister again.  She says that she loves us very much and just wants us to have good lives, and she doesn't think she can give us what we need.  I don't want to be without her.  I love her and I know how hard she is trying.  If anyone can help then let me know please.  I would really like to get any help you can give.

Thanks
