Teacher in need of assistance

Wow...I never thought it would come to this. I am truly hoping that finding this site will be a blessing to me and my family. I'm an elementary school teacher in Arizona, single, with two children. Within that sentence you can tell a lot about me and my financial situation. Unfortunately, it seems that instead of life getting better, each year my challenges get...well...more challenging. I am currently seeking part time employment and/or financial assistance until I begin teaching again in late August. I don't want a handout or people to feel sorry for me...I am genuinely looking for a way to pay my bills until my teaching contract is underway again.

I'm sure most who know about the educational system and how teachers are paid would say, "what happened to your summer money?" Good question! I've had some unexpected expenses come my way and I was forced to take out way too many "pay day" loans (please don't EVER get yourself into that trap because that it JUST what it is....a TRAP). Summer came and I had to pay them off..plus had to cover some costs of a back tax bill...blah blah blah. You get the point. Now I am looking at it being almost the end of June, and almost no money and no prospects of employment. Funny how employers don't want you if they know you are going to quit in 2 months!

PLEASE help....advice is welcome as long as it's constructive. Assitance is also welcome as long as I can pay back the source.

Thank you!
