I need assistance with further educating myself to better the lives of me and my three year old daughter who also need housing.

I am a twenty-five year old single parent who is very much so, down on my luck. The past two years of trying to raise my three year-old daughter has been every bit of a living nightmare. Since we were evicted from our apartment over a year ago, we have been living place to place and living a, what most people would consider barely getting by.  From getting my car stolen and not having full coverage, to my house being robbed, to living with friends and relatives, to ultlmatly now only left with a decision between a homeless shelter and here and there.  I was attending a community college in the city where I live and riding the transit system in the winter to school, while trying to find a stable place to live began to be too much to handle.  I am now trying to get housing and financial assistance from government agencies to try and get back on my feet but it is the most difficult thing I have faced in my entire life with trying to care for my daughter. I have all the confidence in myself, initiative, any one person could have to be able to make it and be successful, I just need the resources and a break.  I would desperately like to be consedered for any help I could get at this time. I would live in the smallest apartment right now. Most of all, I would like another chance at my education and to pull myself out of this hole I've fallen into.
