About Nder

Posted in Nder on Mar 26, 2008... modified on Mar 26, 2008

Where to begin?  Reading the stories of others makes me see that things aren't as bad as they could be...but things are bad.  I am an Army veteran of Iraq, I received a purple heart for wounds sustained in a roadside bomb in 2006.  My injuries are in no way debilitating.  I, in fact, have a full-time job.  I finished graduate school in December and now I teach fourth grade.  The problem is that I have a family of 5 (with one coming soon) to support and right now I am only pulling in about 2k/month.  I don't really know what to do.  I cannot pay my utility bills and they are threatening to cut off my electricity on Monday.  Part of me wants to get a second, part-time job (but realistically that will not be easy as I work long hours already).  I can't just quit my job and hope for a better one, but I also can't seem to find a better one.  I don't get it, I have two degrees and I hardly make anything.  I don't want to give up teaching but I may have to in order to survive.  I am not asking for handouts, any assistance is appreciated, links to aid organizations, etc.  Thanks!
