<prompt> Human: Hello. I am 25 year old college student, and living at home with my younger brother, my dog, my cat, and my mom. About 2 years ago, the main breadwinner of my household died in a car crash in the Dominican Republic. He left us no money, no inheritance - nothing. He was a lowly mechanic, albeit gainfully employed, somewhat. My mother is or was at this point, I guess, a Day Care worker. She used to work from home, and had a small base of kids that will come over our house on a daily basis. Now that has dried up. Especially now, since the kids are older and they have started school. I have offered to spread her business cards around, but they are so grotesque. I am not surprised that she hasnt had a call back or received an inquiry. I get very frustrated with my mom. She has lived in NYC for decades, and she hardly speaks a lick of English. Enough to understand, but not enough to respond cohesively. This was the same with my father. I feel like this hinders her job prospects. Since moving to America in the 80s, shes had what Id like to call an umbrella of job security offered by the local Latino community in New York City hairdresser, homemaker, etc. Very remedial work that does not require any specialized skill. Its really frustrating and I have to hold my tongue a lot of the times. Its really frustrating when I help her create a resume, and its thin, inconsistent, and not of quality. How can you come to a new country, hang with the same circles, see that your professional life is stagnant, and still hang in said circles? Really? If I were to move to France, my anxiety will propel me to learn the local language. I would be the Frenchiest Frenchmen in the land of Franks. I digress...The internet has been cut off a few hours ago. I am connecting through the internet via hotspot. I have T-mobiles popular 30 plan plan that offers me 5GB of data. The home internet bill is currently sitting at 129 for it to be reinstated. The internet is only 64 a month. I think she has not paid for about two months? I did not know she had trouble paying this bill. I wouldve helped manage the cost if I knew earlier. The really annoying this is that my mothers house is a cord cutter household: we have no cable. We have Roku. We have no telephone line. We have Magic Jack. All of this, connected via the internetwifi. We made this change a couple of months after my dads death, to lessen the financial load on my mother. What do I do? I contribute, when I can. I am an online political writer, and a ghost writer for a myriad of sites. I have an income, but payments are moody and not exactly consistent. The invoices sent to my Paypal is enough to pay off my credit cards, pay off the bit of tuition that isnt covered from financial aid, and enough to help pay for the electric bill from Con Edison. It is 5am in my household, and the bill has been cut around 3am. My mother is asleep, and my teenage brother is not going to be pleased once he notices he cant access social media on his laptop. I only have 2GB left on my Tmobile, until it is renewed on the 22nd. Ive turned off background apps on my iPhone and automatically disalbed images from uploading on Google Chrome on my desktop, so I can manage this 2GB of data. My studies take a lot of my time, so online work works really well for me. I am currently chasing my bachelors, studying real estate. I am hoping to finish my degree within the next year, and ride the coattails of the American dream whatever that is, nowadays, and hopefully take my mother and brother with me. Basically, I am here to vent and to see how I can help my mother and myself?Sorry, I am not much of a reddit user. I only post over at electricbikes, occasionally. I know that it is smart to seek advice way before the landlord knocks at your door. So I am here, voicing my grievances online, hoping that I wont be met with an echo.Not sure, but I feel very emotional about this experience. I am feeling sadness, frustration, and loss. I almost feel like crying? Which is completely useless in this predicament. I just feel like the past 2 years have come to an apex point. I mean, I am posting about my problems on the internet. Regardless of the potential faux pas, I genuinely thank you for listening to me. Honestly. Godspeed, friend.  <response>: Its not much but Ill happily design some new business cards for your momma.
