Purpose of loan: I am a 20 year old single mother who is in debt $1261.14, which I know is not really bad, but It is bad enough for me because I have other things I would like to do with my money like start saving for my own apartment because I still live with my mom. I have a credit account with Kay Jewelers that I owe a total of $610.14 with a 24.9% interest rate. I am past due $255.00 with them because I can't make a payment every month so the bill just keeps increasing. I owe the IRS $243.00 and I haven't set up a payment plan with them so I just count that as my balance for the month because I would like to give it to them all at once. I owe the hospital $273.00, and sprint pcs $135.00 from my phone that I used to have through them and it was $473.00, but I?ve been making payments on it to keep it off my credit report. I would like to use this loan to pay off these bills and have a little extra to put away for an apartment. 

My financial situation:
 I work full time at Lifetouch which is a photo lab for school pictures, but my position is seasonal and leaves me unemployed part of the year in between seasons and the money I get from unemployment does not really help. I really don?t want to leave this job because they are a good company to work for and I am moving up in seniority so my boss is going to give me a year round position pretty soon. I get a pay raise in august and that is also the start of our busiest season that lasts until the end of December and sometimes into January and I get a lot of overtime. I know that it will not be a problem for me to pay back this loan, I just need to pay off my current bills then life will be less stressful and there will be more money to go around.
