rooms for teen (mothers or pregnant teens too)

Cadbury started this conversation
Dec 17, 2008

Hi,

This is for females, 17 (with parental or social services aproval) to 20, especially those either pregant or have children (they would be getting first choice) and are homeless or soon to be homeless.

I have this empty 3700 square foot house in Lampasas Texas (you can google Lampasas)

It has room enough to house 4-5 mothers with 1 or 2 kids temporarily. It comes with yard, pool, hot tub and RULES. I will provide you with BASIC furniture for the time of your stay. The thought is to give you time to find a job, or I can teach you to be self employed and make at least minimum wage while being a stay at home mom ( I will offer classes to those interested).

As soon as you have income you pay rent, depending on the size of the room (all included utillities), between $200 (small room) and $350 (very large rooms with separate Space) you can then stay several more months to save up money for your own place. Lampasas is small, you can get anywhere walking. Walmart is 5 walking minutes from the house and a main employer. I can help you to get to Texas.

Texas, is one of the cheaper places in the US to live and one day purchase a home. It is warm here most time of the year until late into the year and usually warm enough to jump in a pool again by April. All details can be worked out. Right now, I am trying to find out if and how much interest there would be, so I am leaving this invitation open and then take it from there.

 

Ask away if you have any questions.

 in response to jillfrommass41...   I think women can never be too careful..maybe I watch too much crime story news but seems there are predators waiting for desperate women and children..I would hate anyone to fall victim to that..just because they need help so badly..I worry especially about teens(my own included) being too trusting and not feeling that they are in any danger..

 in response to Mr-K...   I would also like to add that it is against the law to house anyone under the age of 18 without parental, custodial, social services, or court ordered permission.

 in response to bookworm2011...   I agree, ask for a criminal background report. If they can't or won't provide one, have on done yourself or move on. Ask for references and make it a point to check them out yourself. You can also check the sex offender registry in their state for free. It's a two way street also. You should do the same if you are contemplating moving someone into your home.

i just really feel moved to caution young girls and single pregnate mothers and ask that you CHECK OUT anyone offering you a room or place to stay for you and your baby. I am not trying to OFFEND anyone offering to help, its nothing personal but there are alot of people that are crazy in the world, waiting for the opportunity for someone desperate, that no one is going to LOOK for if they go missing..and alot of people willing to do anything for a baby of their own..Please just BE AWARE be SAFE and thoroughly check out any situation you even THINK about entering..I dont want to pick up a newspaper and see an aidpage member was hurt or worse because I didnt say something..Im not sure how you go about checking a person out to make sure they dont have a past,,I know you can use meganslaw (google it) to search addresses and see if a person has a previous conviction of hurting a child, other than that I dont know how you make sure they are safe..aside from bringing someone with you, letting someone or several people know where you will be staying and give the address, car license etc..maybe a copy of their I.D...if anyone can add to this and let women know other things they can do to safeguard themselves if they are considering meeting or moving in with someone from this site or any online site, PLEASE add to this..any info would be valuable and give them more to consider before making a decision.
thanks and take care

We want her to go to college and all our friends family agreed to help her and the baby. We could help you, too, to do this. Smile! Lots of free help out there as well! Education, even trade schools? Will help you in the long run.

I am 17 with a 2 year old and a 7 month old. I have been abused, neglected, and just torn down. 90% of mythoughts anymore are about killing myself because I'm so miserable. I live near st.Louis,Mo. I'm bouncing around home to home and am currently living on my moms couch. But she reminds me every day how much she doesn't want me here. So I'm pretty sure I'll be kicked out soon. Please email me at britt_nee1988@yahoo.com

 in response to july88...   we live in Tx. And like cadbury we also lived around that area, I can tell you that living with & around Military people your heart goes out to people in need! Let me know what your needing and my family will try to help.( Here is Some background on us to help you as I now it's hard to ask for help but taking help from strangers is even harder.) I'm a stay at home with 4 kids at home (3 of which are 18 &13 months apart)3 that live with there other parents & at any given time there could be one or two more people here as we have an open door policy here for our friends & kids friends, we have land & are protected by are trained dogs! Just give us an idea of what your in need of and well help in anyway we can.

 in response to july88...   My Husband & I help everyone, it's just the way we think it should . We were both teen parents & there was a point in our lives that we needed help & no one to turn too, so we decided right there that we would help others in need, our family of 6 helps people with food, clothes, school, a place to stay, getting a place of there own, jobs & have even helped by keeping baby's/children with us while there parents get on there feet.
If there is anything we can do to help just let us know. God bless!

 in response to tiredoflife...   don't worry so much think of the little joy inside you, and just do you best to make it, the One Above will come through. Sometimes, the reason why so many things go wrong at once is because the One Above is preparing you to handle the same degree of joy at the same time... it is all a test to keep your faith and when you do make it through, you can shine for you and your family and pay it forward! Keep your head up little mama!
