Well, when my father had cheated on my mother and walked out the door on her, taking all the money..
She ended up having to get 3 jobs to support not 1, but 4 children. Depending on how old your child is, you might have to work in a less-than-desirable place just to get by.
$700 dollars a month for one child? We didn't even get that for the 4 of us when I was growing up.
You can also ask the food pantry at your local church if you are in need of food. Try craigslist in your state for other items you may need (www.craigslist.com). They have a "free" section.
Your business idea sounds great, but for the moment you may want to focus on getting stable and piece-meal it. After all, you are a parent first.
Good luck to you.
