[quote=Anonymous]I'm so sorry you find yourself in this position, OP. I've got two SN kids and know what it's like to stress about money, food and services. I think you've gotten some really good advice here. The only thing I haven't seen mentioned is contacting the guidance counselors at your older DC's school. They can keep an eye on your kids to make sure they get a little more attention at school and can also provide things like free winter coats, clothes and school supplies. They are also usually hooked into local service groups that may be able to provide asisstance to you. You should also see about getting them signed up for free/reduced meals. They're a resource you may be able to tap into. Also, I don't believe there are any zoning prohibitions on you and your DCs being in a one bedroom. I don't live in DC but I believe those restrictions apply only to people who are not related, not to a parent and children. Best of luck to you.[/quote]
