Funding Shortfall

I suppose me trying this is a sign of how things have been going. I am a hard working, degree educated person who has never avoided a day of work in her life. But sometmes, we have no control over the things around us. I lost my job back in May 2011 after being made redundant, and while I managed to make enough to have a savings... i also had bills to pay and needed to find a new job. After looking for nearly a year, I managed to find another job (yeah!) only to be made redundant again last May (unexpected!!) 

I amhappy to report, I have managed to find myslef yet another job (in that, i should count myself as fortunate) but dont start until Sept of this year (it's in a high school). I have to admit, though, I am concerned about getting through the next 80 days. I am hoping ayone out there who has been through the same situation can lend a hand to simpky get me and my girls (my daughters) through this... It's so sad, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel with my new job, it's just taking so long to get here!!

If anyone can part with even a spare bit of change, I would be forever grateful...
