A single mother starting over

I am a 27 year old single mother who had no choice but to start over. It wasn't my choice to be a single mother, but my choice to become a stay at home mother to my two sons. Unbeknowest to me, the father of my children secretly started a new relationship and had no plans on following through with support. I stopped schooling and stopped working, thinking that I was going to have help from him. If it wasn't for my family, I would be on the streets. Right now they pay my rent and bills until I get on my feet.

I would like to go back to school, as well as get some assistance with bills (debt), and be able to provide for my children. I am living in a rural town without a car, so right now my means of working would have to be via computer. I see so many ads for governement assistance for housing downpayments, but you first have to qualify to get a home loan, and that totally excuses me.

If there is any help available, I would greatly appreciate it. God Bless and Thank You.
