Please help me get the training I need to get a better job!

It has been said that if you give a man a fish you feed him for one day, but if you teach a man to fish you feed him for a life time. This is why I am looking for some hero's to help me get the training I need to provide for my family for the long term. I lost my previous management position due to a business closure and have been diligently looking for work on a daily basis without any success. I have taken on part time positions or odd jobs just to keep a roof over our heads and food in my kids tummies. I found a position that I will be able to get in to but I need to be certified by the state in order to start working. The certification course and testing costs $400 and I must travel 3 hours away to be tested at a state certified testing facility over a two day period. I have been trying to do everything I can get enough money to register but it seems that another past due notice comes in the mail or we run out of food and I have to use what I have saved to provide for the kids. The next testing date is in November and I have to register 10 days before to get in. I would appreciate anyone who is willing to help me raise the money I need to get certified so I can finally stop working these dead end jobs and make a life for my kids. I have a paypal acct set up so I can accept any donations. If everyone who reads this even donates a dollar it will help me out significantly.
**please note that I have tried to find agencies to help cover some of the costs of the training and certification but most agencies in my area are either out of funding, or I am not eligible because I do not receive public assistance as I support my kids solely on my own."
