Domestic Violence at 7 months Pregnant, HELP!
I need some advice ladies. I am currently 7 months pregnant and unemployed. My partner was taking care of all the bills until I am able to work again, after giving birth. Last weekend the cops were called on him because he was being super aggressive and violent with me. He ended up getting arrested and spending the night in jail. He is currently a green card holder and is now facing deportation if the charges stick. His court date isn’t until March, a few weeks before baby is due. He packed his bags and left me, our 6 year old and our 2 year old and blocked my number. I have no way of paying my bills and I have no family near by, as I’m from Massachusetts. I don’t want to be homeless when this baby arrives. I’ve been applying for assistance with SNAP, TANF, and housing assistance but there is a 6-9 years waiting period for housing. Do you ladies know of any other resources that can help keep me and my little ones in our home, at least until I can get a job in a few months?
Show your support
Magdalena house (210) 561-0505, Seton home (210) 533-3504, or the battered women’s shelter. The police should have given you a referral. I got one a few days after my DM. Your police record should speed the process for immediate emergency housing and help. They also help with food stamps and housing vouchers.
Thank you ladies @Emily @Abby, I will look into your suggestions. I appreciate it.
Hi Preciana, i’m so sorry you are going through this. Reach out churches around you but also Salvation Army receives grants for rent and utility assistance that you may qualify for as well Catholic Charities. Hope you are able to get all of the help/assistance you need🙏🏽

No matter if you’re religious or not, I would try maybe reaching out to churches around you for some guidance on housing, food pantries for food!!
