Hello, I’m a 25 year old single mom of 3 and I received a warrant of restitution. I was fired when I was 7 months pregnant and now my newborn twins and 2 year old are basically homeless. I’ve been trying to get state and county assistance but because I only receive unemployment no one can help me. Any advice an where to turn?
