Single Teen Mother in Need of Help

My name is Ashley, I'm 19 years old, and I'm the single mother of a 10 month old little girl.  I work full time as a secretary in Cape Coral, FL.  I make just enough money to not qualify for financial aid, but not enough to make ends meet.  I'm behind on bills, and can't seem to catch up.  I've tried to find higher paying jobs, and have found them - but they're too far away.  I never learned to drive so I must take the bus.  I've found great jobs that would be a maximum of 30 minutes away by car but end up being 4 hours away when taking the bus because of the area.  8 hours of travel time (to and from) just isn't plausible so I seem to be pretty well stuck.

I wear glasses and normally need a stronger prescription every 6 months.  I haven't had my eyes checked in 2 years.  I can see just enough to get by, but I'm slower at work than I would normally be (I do a lot of data entry), and I'm tired of the migraines.  I can't afford an eye exam, though. 

My daughter is behind on her shots but we don't have insurance to get her to a pediatrician, and I've been told about free clinics, but I can't get time off work when they're open (nor do I have anyone to take her for me as my mother is the one that babysits and she does not have a car and it always too tired to walk to the bus stop).  Not to mention her grandmother is of poor health and would rather not have to babysit everyday, but I can't afford daycare and I don't know anyone else.

What I need as far as help goes... Well, anything really.  Whether it be advice, financial support, emotional support, whatever.  One thing after another - things just keep piling up.  I'm mentally exhausted, and at a loss as to how to get my life on track.  If any kind souls out there would like to lend a hand, I'd be extremely appreciative.
