Hi Torri.. so sorry to hear what's happened.

First of all, tell family & friends about it as soon as you can - the more people who can rally round you and your kids right now, the better, and someone might be able to lend you some cash until you get back on track.

You can also ring the benefit services on Monday and see if they can help in any way.

Also - I did this when in a similar position - ring your household providers, like elec, gas, mortgage, phone, car finance.. & tell them what's gone on, and that you're requesting either a payment holiday if they'll do it, or reduced payments for a couple of months.

If your kids are of school age, tell the school on Monday, as they might be upset or unsettled for a while.

Good luck, you can do it - I speak from experience ;)
