How do we all afford this care on limited budgets?

Hi, I'm new - I'm Shanni. I joined over night. I'm at my wits end in life. I am not technically single, but I do raise my 4 kids at home by myself because the father of my youngest - my boy at home, is a truck driver and is gone most of the month. I'm left to do it all by myself. I'm at my wits end. My house is a wreck, my kids are misbehaved and I'm needing help. I can't keep up with it all by myself. Mark (my fiance) told me overnight when I told him about this site, he'd help when he gets home (in 3 weeks). Sigh... In my local area there is an emergency day care called a crisis nursery - completely free. I have known that I needed help because I can't keep up with the kids and life is quickly spiralling out of control. I took my 2 middle kids (Alissa - 5, Hope - almost 3) there yesterday for what I was intending to be a day - so I could catch up with life without them un-doing my efforts. But had just barely got home from there yesterday and got settled when they called me to come get them because another child there taught Hope how to hit and the workers couldn't get her to stop. I was upset, livid! I got nothing done. It is turning into a crisis for us and we're just spinning our wheels. So I'm hoping to get the help here I need. I know can be costly, but I feel that if I get the help, it will be worth it to get my family back on track. But I want to know how everyone affords it here without an income - I too cannot work, I won't even try, its why I have been trying to earn a living at home through my blog at shanni,me but I don't even have time to maintain that anymore until I get help. How does everyone pay for the care we receive? I want & need this help long term. What do we do?

If you engage in personal attacks you will be removed from the list.
Shanni, I can't imagine raising children alone with a disability. No one who hasn't gone through it has a clue, so just ignore those comments. People don't understand that sub-standard child care is no help at all.
What sorts of crisis hotlines does your state offer? In my state we have a number to call and the person at the other end puts us in touch with resources.

holy prophet is one spiritual man i would forever give regards to, he brought my husband back to me after my old friend tried to blackmail me to take my husband and made him divorce me with wrong accusation. But this holy prophet did a prayer that resolved issues with my husband and push the other lady far away from him. I am happy to have my husband back, this prophet is great. his email is holyprophet8@gmail.com, he really surprised me.
