Octomom Nadya Suleman Throws Yard Sale; Talks About Going Back on Welfare

Lisa Stevens
Nadya Suleman is admitting to RadarOnline.com she will be forced to go back on welfare by the end of the year after the deals she expected to get after giving birth to Octuplets in January 2009 didn't materialize.

The mother of 14 children admitted in her interview what she thought would happen after giving birth to eight children didn't exactly go her way as far as money was concerned and she is now almost completely broke and in foreclosure proceedings on the house her father bought for her in California. Suleman also admitted that while her choices have had consequences, she wouldn't have had it any other way.

This won't be the first time Nadya Suleman will have needed to rely on public assistance to get by. Prior to become famous around the world for giving birth to octuplets, "Octomom" had used food stamps and cash assistance to raise the six children she had before using IVF treatment to conceive the other children.

A friend of the Suleman family told Radar Online, "She's going on welfare and it's going to be very soon. There's just no choice. She's running out of money and those kids need to eat. She needs the money. She has no choice at this point. And she's been on public assistance before."

While Nadya will accept any offer for food, clothing and diapers along with offering exclusive interviews, pictures and birthday photo opportunities to raise money to support the children, she is almost completely broke and down to a few thousand dollars in the bank. The reality TV show, the movie about her life and the autobiography plans fell through, leaving the 35-year-old mother of 14 with nothing to fall back on.

Nadya Suleman also admits she can't take a job outside of her home since devoting her time equally to 14 children would make working impossible. She will have to move into public housing with her children if she loses her home since her parents aren't happy about her relying heavily on them to help her raise her children.

Over the weekend Nadya held a yard sale at her La Habra, California home in hopes of making enough money to keep her payments on her mortgage up-to-date while she fights foreclosure on the property.

She reportedly sold her bikinis, bras, nursing bra and baby clothes, along with furniture and other household items. Also available, a picture with "Octomom" for ten dollars, and for $100 you could pose with her and the octuplets.

Other items of interest for sale according to People Magazine included a Lakers jersey signed by Suleman for $125, and eight devil costumes the famous octuplets wore for Halloween 2009 that went for $50 each. Suleman also advertised her refrigerator that once stored the formula the octuplets drank as baby's for $85.

Media outlets such as Access Hollywood and TMZ were at Suleman's house all day Saturday as she sold off the items. Nadya admits she needs to raise $450,000 in two weeks in order to save her house from foreclosure. Everything that wasn't sold at the yard sale went on eBay along with a signed sonogram of the Octuplets before they were born.

Suleman reportedly had a pretty good turn out and sold off most of the stuff she was offering for sale.
