 in response to Toni55...   Hi Toni55
I know just where you are because I am in the same boat. I have only been out of work for a year and a half but the market is hell. My heart truly go out to you and people like us. I just continue to put in job applications and trust God will have the right one to call. I sit here daily wondering what tomorrow is going to bring ,then I realize today has enough trouble of its own. I will keep you in prayer and trust God will send you just what he wants you to have. Believe that he is all powerful and he sees all and knows all. His power is greater and bigger than yours and mind situation. Just as few encouraging words to get you through the day. God Bless!

 in response to countrylady1949...   

What type of help are you needing, besides more money?

I have to agree with you How is it  small businesses and middle and lower income people are the ones that suffer.The government is broke, so they say, but they keep giving away millions to this country or that country, bail out wall street so they can go party and have a good time, they some how had the money to do that, it was already planned, Thought they were suppose to be broke.

If I'm broke, I don't have any money to do anything, I can't pull gas out of thin air, food neither.You have an agency of the government that doesn't govern themselves, but if you do the same thing that they do you and I will land in jail many many years, for such a terrible terrible crime.

What about our Congress, they give themselves a raise, even when the country is crumbling before their feet, they deserve it right, you and I don't, what the hell many of us have worked all our live and then because of getting disabled, we don't deserve the same consideration.

We can help those people in the disasters out before we help the poor and disabled out in this county. If anyone ask you where are we suppose to come up with all this money for the new Health Care Reform Bill that was passed, you can point to all the money that has been givin abroad.

To top it off , all of a sudden everyone is worried about their kids and their kids kids lives being destroyed because of this crushing debt.They haven't worried about the countries debt until Obama was elected. Then oh, my, what about my kids, what about my grandkids. What about us, nobody was worried before.

Country-

What state or country are you in? It is easier to get an idea of where to look specificially for grants, and so forth if we have a more accurate location. I looked on your profile and did not see anything filled out, so I thought I'd ask so I begin a search for you.

Hello

I am not Aidpage Team but a member here. I know what you mean. You can try this for a loan to open your home based business and maybe let us know the city and state you are in? There are free medical and dental clinics etc. But here  is the loan department that may help you

i just went thru the list if grants and there are grants for every country to help every one BUT the is nothing to help an AMERICAN citizen . im 60 years old and live on a very small income (less than a thousand dollars) and there is no one out there to help me with anything.why do all the tax dollars we all paid in go overseas when there is such a need here  in the USA. after rent utilities medicine there is nothing left. i would like to open a small home based business doing something im good at but i need some assistance. can anybody tell me if there is any help out there for someone like me ?

I am 62 year old female with polycythemia vera.  I am unable to work anymore and have lots of medical bills.  meds to control this have bad side effects.  I feel lost and hopeless.   Help me if you can.

Hi

I know you are having a hard hard time. And I am not in a position to help you financially and wish I was. If my minister said that to me about I must have committed a sin and that is why I got cancer I would have screamed back how he could say such a thing to me!

I will never forget what Ann Landers wrote and I don't know the exact qoute but it went like this: You might not be responsible for what you have ( that can be illness or anything) but you are responsible for doing something about it. You are doing the best you can jaybird2010us with what you are given and seeking help to help your family. I really hope things get better for your family and when you don't have a bank account or your wife doesn't have one and I know many people who don't who don't have a bank account as they just cash checks at a store where you are charge to do so. When you don't have a bank account you can't get a pay pal account making donations to you easy. 

I am sorry things are so rough and there are a lot of good people in the world and most don't have money to give out and those who do, for whatever reason don't donate more. I wish there were many people who could help out. I dont know why your church isn't more supportive for you and your family...

Take care and I wish you the best

Starshine

I really appreciate any help or advice given. I have tried the ones you've provided and no luck so far. I'm so scared of becoming homeless. Once that happens the state takes your kids away and declares you unfit. Despite the fact that you went down there on your knees begging for their help. I had a minister telling me to examine my life and figure out which sin I comitted to have this cancer put on me! He was not pleasant. Please guys get your brains working I am desperate. Someone has to know someone. Thank you. you are all wonderful people!

 in response to marylou...   

Check with your state website to see if they have any grant programs available for businesses in a "rural" area.  You have to be careful and make sure that your area qualifies as rural.

When starting a business it is really hard to say what kind of general advice should be given.  A lot of people start businesses doing something that they love to do and they go from there.  Not everyone knows everything about starting a business - they learn as they go.

Starting a store is going to involve quite a few things such as what kind of building are you going to use?  Are you going to rent it or will you own the building?  What about expenses?

One good general piece of advice is to start off with a business plan.  Look online to find some free examples of some of them.  You should be able to find a lot of free information to help you with starting a business - which reminds me that you should also look at the Small Business Administration - SBA - for short because they also provide information for those that are seeking help and advice for starting their own business.

hello - this is my first time.......i am a single mother with 1 child and no help from her father...i have already raised one son on my own and now i am doing it again....i would like to open a little country store out where i live and would like some feed back on how to get started...i know you can get a goverment loan or grant to help you out in this situation... i know it would be very profitable because there is nothing around for miles but people and houses....i know alot of people in my neiborhood and they all say i sure wished there was store closer..............i would appreciate any feed back....

 

Thanks you very much...

RRRR   

Boy I sure have come along way since I first came on aidpage.  Considering my first post.  That is all behind me now.  I am always stepping one foot in front of the other now.  One can overcome obsticles in life. It sure made me grow..

Thankyou my friends.

 in response to Annika...   Thankyou.  I would like to update.  My mom had another mamagram and it showed all good.  She does not have to see the doctor for another year.  She lives one hour away from me but is moving back in town where I live.  She is 77 years old and going strong.

I was laid off work in January, My bills for February are all paid. I will start back to work March 1st but just parttime. I need help with mortgage and lot rent payment for march. About $750.00. Where can I go for help tried modest needs but need bank account I only have a prepaid debit card.

I am a 55 year old woman who has had a rough 4 years.  I have been unable to find or keep a job in those years.  I have a high school education and was able to keep good jobs when the economy was good.  I live with my mother.  I really want a good job so I can help support her.  I was in the computer technician field but since I've not worked in over four years, technology has skyrocketed over my head.  That industry is for the young and ambitious.  My credit is ruined.  I almost had a good job but my credit was bad so I did not get hired.  Go figure.  Anyway, does anyone have any ideas on what I can do?  Any help is greatly apreciated.

 in response to doxie...   

Hi Sara

I am sorry about your husband job loss and I hope he can find employment again soon.

Call 211 and ask about any programs to help you with utilites and look at my blog for some information too. To get to my blog just click the horse picture.

Check this link out and contact your nearest location for help with utilities

http://www.svdpusa.org/

Are you employed? If so try modestneeds.com as I know a couple of people been helped some there and I know people who have used microgiving.com.

That is all I can think of at the moment..

Good luck 

 in response to doxie...   

So many people have been posting here who are having the same problem as you - meaning they are facing the shutoff of their utilities.

There may be some things that you can do to avoid your services getting shut off.  First of all have you talked with your utility company?  They should have some programs that can help you and / or they should be willing to make some sort of payment arrangement with you.  You may not know this or not but even utility companies have someone that they have to answer to so if you feel that you are not being treated right you can report them!

Also you haven't stated how much you owe on your utility bill.  There are government programs out there to help people who are considered low-incomed with their heating bill.  There are also organizations and charities outside of the government that also have programs to help with emergency financial problems.  One that I know of simply requires you to send a copy of your shut off notice and depending upon the amount you owe they will send a payment to your utility company.  Another charitable organization has a program where they provide up to $9,000 for emergency financial need including medical emergencies and funeral expenses.

If the amount you owe is not too big then you may want to consider going online and simply requesting the money.  I have seen quite a few sites where people can request money.  Some of these sites require that you submit documentation supporting your request but I have found at least one site where you can submit your request for money without having to submit any additional documentation.  All that is required is that you submit your request stating how much money you are requesting and what you need the money for.  Requests of $100 to $1000 can be made and higher requests will be considered if there is a compelling enough reason.  I even saw one person requesting $22,000!

Not every request is honored (personally I think that that would be impossible) but some of the requests are honored.  For example someone received money to have their car fixed.  A woman received money to buy clothes for her children and a college student received money to buy some books.

The only reason that I know about these programs is because grant research is what I do and this is the kind of information that has been requested by clients.  

So if you are willing to do the work to find these programs then you shouldn't have too much trouble finding them.

You can also read some of my previous replies to people who have posted here with problems that are similar to yours by looking at my Aidpage 

My name is Sara and husband name is Mitch. He lost job in september of 09. We have been unable to pay our rent for Jan and now rent is due again. Then they will be cutting off our power soon, if we do not get it pay in the next day it will be cut-off. If someone where we could help please let us know. We are christians. Our church does not offer any kind of help. We live in Memphis,Tennessee

About "deleting" groups from the list of "My groups"...

The list is generated automatically as a result of your activity on Aidpage (adding keywords, posting comments, etc.).

While technically possible, it will not be easy for you to make the list shorter.

You'll need to go to each group that you want to take off your list. Once there (on the page of the group) use the link "Options" that appears under your own avatar - click the link "Remove myself from this space". 

However, if you use categories (tags, keywords) on your own blog pages which are shared with some of these groups, the system will eventually link you back to these groups. 

Generally speaking, it doesn't make much sense to try to manage the list "My groups" - simply don't use it so much as a navigational tool. 

 in response to milesrf...   

The category (tag, keyword) is added to the post... not to the account of the person who adds the category. 

Does Aidpage offer any documentation on just what the Add a Category link does?  For example, does it add the category to the post where the link is found, or to the account for the person who clicks on this link?

Does Aidpage offer any way to delete any groups from those already on my list, so that I can concentrate on those I'm more likely to be able to help?

HI, MM'S HERE, I AM STILL LOOKING FOR A CHILD TO ADOPT. A GIRL, 2 YRS OLD, WOULD LOVE TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT IT. I LOVE KIDS I HAVE ALREADY ADOPTED ONE

 in response to stardust7...   

Stardust7,

Aidpage cannot and will not be helpful to all people. 

However, in your case, it seems that the lack of response was at least partly due to your very low level of engagement on Aidpage.

You have made basically only two posts since you joined Aidpage back in March 2007. And your profile info is empty.

Aidpage works best for people who are willing to engage in conversations (through public posts or private messages) with other members. This is how you can get some benefit from Aidpage.

Simply asking for money - and then waiting passively for a response - doesn't work. 

About the email notifications - it is easy to stop them from the link provided in each email you receive from Aidpage.  

Best,
AidpageTeam 

 in response to FIVE SIBLINGS LOST PARENTS TO ...   

Hi

I saw your post then distracted by people taking a lady to the hospital next door. 

Like ekikiaseven's reply and I am sorry for your loss of your parents too. I tried to see if there was any programs available to help you as there  is cash assistance temporary for families. I looked and then called my girlfriend whose brother and his wife were killed by a drunken driver as they were coming home from a trip. There van was in front of there's and the baby of Judy's brother and his wife Jane, lived as Jane was holding her.   I wanted to see when Judy and her husband took in the baby as they had a daughter of their own, if Judy and her husband recieved any compensation for doing so. She told me they didn't. I remember that the young man who was drunk made little or no payment he was suppose to as it was long ago..

You can try to call 211 for any kind of resources they might help you with and apply to modestneeds.com. There are other one time programs in my blog. Call 866 3 hungry for food resources and there are low cost food centers too in my blog.. 

See about getting on low income assistance with utilities too.

There is an exercise lady who lost both of her parents at 18 and she was the only sibling. She fought her depression by running and made a career out of exercise.

take care and I wish you the best...

Oh the free car charity site is for car repairs too or a car. 

I was told by someone in the beginning that it was for other things but that isn't the case and the free car website explains that..

You are welcome for the help...

 in response to Starshine...   i signed up but it is only if you need a car but thank you for your help

 in response to motherhurting...   

Hi
I don't know if this is going to help but you can check it out and see previous post of mine

http://general-help-for-christmas-car-repair-or-anything-else-see-thes.starshine1.aidpage.com/

try wishuponahero and freecycle etc. Most Christmas programs took applications in Oct. 2009 but you can try your local Salvation Army to see if there is a chance to get in still.

I can't promise anything on Christmas

Hopefully it will turn out better than expected.. The fact you have each other is great. 

See what happens and give it them a call and others listed

best to you

Starshine

These are two of my kids who are in need of help for christmas. I currently lost my job in may due to a medical problem that i will have for life. My children are my life and i applyed for ssi and i have to wait 5 months to 2 years for a desision on if i am accepted or not. My children never ask for anything but for us to stay together.My kids still beleave in santa and i dont want my kids to wake up and see nothing under the tree and for them to think they did some thing wrong.I am a mother who try to do the best thing for here children. I am not use to asking for help for my children, but some time we have to swallow are pride and do it for are kids. I need help and anyone who is willing to help me give my kids a christmas please let me now. My god bless all your kind hearts.

is there any programs that will help me with money to pay for a vocational school ?

I've already signed up for this I think, I just don't really know how to attribute myself, I don't have anything, accept maybe to pray with people or talk with and hear them.  I'm quite poor and I didn't tell people on here I need a car, my teeth fixed.  I also need to work online, I'll work for 40 or 50 hrs online, doing what I do best which is type.  I type 100 wpm and get their work done whomever sends me what they need typed, in half the time.  I'm just desperate right now since losing my spouse 6 months ago.  Lifes hard right now but I know other people have it harder than  I do.  If someone needs to talk or have someone to listen to they can reach me anytime.  God Bless whoever reads this.

 in response to alonebutsafe...   You do not have to win a lawsuit to do that, all you need to do is go file a garnishment and put a lien on his property so if he sells it, you will get paid by the court I think it costs about 35.00 to file a garnishment and lien against someone.

 in response to Angelsmom32...   Those grant sights are big rip offs they only want your info to charge u a monthly fee, theres no such thing as individual grants unless its for education, but you can go look for yourself for free the same thing these gove grant cds have on them, www.federal.gov/grants

I would like to get a grant to get an outside furnace, since my property is very wooded, I have propane right now and it costs me at least 3 grand to heat during the winter months.  I recently had a heart attack and cannot work.  But Im finding if your single they state or society looks at u like your trash, but if your still in school and havin babies faster then the weather changes they will bend over backwards to give anything to u.  Whats wrong with this country??  And these ads u see all over the internet to get grants to pay bills and this and that is nothin but a crook of bull and one big rip off, they get your credit card info and charge u a monthly charge then ever time u look for grants your charged and yet theres not one single grant for bills only morgages, businesses or education thats it, u cannot get personal grants its all a lie to get grants to pay bills and what these rip off grant cd ads charge for u  you can go to the federal gov web sight and look for free.

Also Id like to point out, I have a 5 bedroom house, I can take in a single family of 1 or 2 kids or single male or married couple, I will not take in a single female, but if theres anyone who has no wheres to go with your family contact me.

I was browsing the web looking for genuine ways to make money online..But I dont think they exist. I stay at homecaring for my 24year old son who is seveely disable and cannot so much as roll over. He hasnt a vocabulary And I could never feel comfortable with another caring for him cause if they abused him in any way he couldnt tell anyone. We are only getting $603.00 a month (SSI) There was an ove payment they are holding out. I would just like to be able to pay all my bills each month.

Then I came across this site and Bruces plight. It stopped me in my tracks. I sat here and prayed for him and his wife and their needs. Which are more pressing than mine. And I ask now that hose who might see their way to help me-insted help them!

I would appreciate any info on waysI can earn money online. I have no credit card or bank accounts so most opportunities I found I coldnt take advantage of.

I dont have a drives lic. duea compute mixup between okla and missouri Which I have since straightened out. Then i moved to arkansas and got a ticket for no lic. ins and tag (ins co's wont sell me ins w/out a lic) anyway Ark eventually ticketed me for driv on suspended I asked the judge why when my last DL was expired? He replied "Arkansas issued youn a number and then suspended that" so now I just cant seem to at it all paid Its gonna take close to $2000.00 to pay fines, reinstatement, insurance, DL, taxes and tags +/- a few $. Im not looking for someone to give me he money just to help me figure a way to earn it myself. Thank You, Tina Jasons mom!

everyone pray for Bruce and ask he finds a way to hire an attorney and that the truth wil come out according to Gods Will!

hi i need help i write to this page because i want to have a baby i love kids but my problem is that ivf cost money.

well, i guess i messed up my last post. must not have done it right. i will try again... i am a 50 year old woman, married for 31 years.. always in the past, we have been the ones to help everyone that came along, now i need a helping hand, and no one to turn to. i have always had dental issues, even as a child. i have been to several dentists here in town, and get the same response, yes you need work done, no we dont take payments ! i have been given quotes by so many clinics with prices ranging from $11,000.00 to $17,000.00 ! i have tried applieng for care credit, but dont have sufficient credit to be approved. my mouth hurts, even just to smile ! i tried the free/reduced dental community clinic here back in april, and they told me to wait and call back in august, so i called august 1st, and was told they weren't accepting any new patients ! now my teeth are even worse ! i only have 4 natural teeth left,with one of them black from a cavity and causing immense pain, and with my bone loss, i am told i must have implants to stabilize dentures... omigosh ! i cant afford anything like this ! please help if able, i hate asking, but dont know where else to turn... any help would be so appreciated ! i have heard that there are grants etc., that can help with this, but i have searched and searched and cant find any...maybe i am just too stupid to know how to do it right...

I am a 54 year old disabled woman in need of a car. My car died and since I live on $604 a month I can't buy another one. I live in the Chattanooga, TN area. I just need something that can get me around to the grocery store, drug store and Doctor appts. Anything that is reasonably healthy, doesn't have to be pretty. I have given away cars to people in need in the past and am hoping that my car karma will catch up to me now! Also, I am a therapist (emotional, relationship, personal goals) and would be happy to trade sessions for a car as well. Thank you for taking the time to read this post!

My name is Gail, I was recently diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease. I watched my mother suffer threw this disease for 16 years. I'm not sure if I want to even attempt doing dialisys. I have no children at home. I do have a fiancee, who is very supportive, however the doctors bills have added up so fast. I rarely go to the doctor and when i do all I seem to get is lecture after lecture. they dont understand how i cant afford medicine or regular dr visits. I cant afford insurance and there is no state, goverment, or county programs that will help. I have been denied disability. I am so lost. I am getting sicker by the day and soon to lose my kidneys. I have been in contact with pharmisuticul companys and even kidney foundations and instead of help to guide me they just want money. I do believe there is still good out there just having a hard time finding it. We are having a horrible time with bills and trying to balance my needs. I know there is grants or foundations that will help.  Please help to guide me, show me how to get the help i desperatly need. Thank you.

I'm so sorry to hear about your situation, seems we are all sharing the same story. we are facing the same problem. one solution is to call your mortgage company and write them a hardship letter and ask them to do a mortgage modification. this should lower your monthley payments as well as give you a new interest rate. repayment plans are for the birds! also theu may be able to do a payment deferral, putting the past due amount on the back of the mortgage allowing you to start "fresh",possible giving you a month or two before a new payment is due. here is a number and web site that you can start with. but please ask for a modification and write that letter! best of luck, God bless

i need help repaying a student loan

I am in need of a used mobile home I had one but lost it a few years back due to a death in the family,so if anyone out there can help i would appreciate it very much,thanks.

 in response to broughtoncaps...   

I related to your article about the financial stress of losing your home. I am having the same trouble with my home, i am trying www.hud.gov.  Will you  be disabled for a year.  I am a firm believer that stress activates cancers in our body,  try to stay positive,  the hardest thing for me to do is give my brain a break, constantly thinking of solutions, sometimes it is hard  to hear God.  I give my problem to God, I try to help as much as possible, it the little part that I hold onto that causes the most problem.  Giving thanks  helps me; stay positive you have several (3) reasons.  Everyone is alive, you son made it through two years, after he has delt with a family crisis he will suprize you and find away. Do not let your family be depressed for long, it causes more problems and takes a long time to overcome.

I am being evicted from my apartment because I could not

pay the rent.  I was injured ont he job they stopped my workman's compensation checks

and I am trying to get another job as a live in caregiver or help as I am out of money.

I am not sure how to start.  My family is in deep trouble.  We are financially broke, and either must pay a high mortgage payment on the house we have lived in for 17 years or get out.  I am sure you have heard it all before.  Percentage rate was raised to over 10% and even with a temporary "repayment" plan no way to afford it.  My husband's business is home expections and with the housing market as it is, his business has dried up.  I have essentially been disabled since November when I had replacement surgery that had serious complications.  The day I was to leave the hospital the new hip displaced itself, so I had to have emergency surgery to replace the replacement! A month later, just before Christmas, I developed a large blood clot in my leg.  I am still recovering from the hip surgery, and being aggressively treated for the blood clot.  We have a little money from our pensions, having retired early, and my husband's job was "downsized" so he got early retirement also.  These pensions are at  least something, but they do not go far.  We have a 15 year old son and a 19 year old college son whose college fund has run out, and he has two years left to graduate.  I am at my wit's end and don't know where to turn or what to do.  As many of you know the stress is terrible, and we are about to worry ourselves to death.  There are so many generous and caring people out there.  Can you help us somehow?

I am a senior, living on ss and have a  hard time making ends meet.  I want to go and get training to be a shooting instructor. The training center is called front sight . I would then like to start a training school , to train police officers, arm guards, security personal , and citizens .

 in response to Brown_I_Grl...   

That is awsome!  God is good.  The sad thing about life is that we cant see past the next second, but God knows the whole story. Trust in Him.  God bless you and your family.

 in response to Brown_I_Grl...   

I can certainly say that God lead you here.  There are some realities that you are going to have to face.  On one side, you have the immediate threat that you are about to lose everything.  The true negative in this is that you all are about to go thought this alone.  On the other hand you are about to gain something more valuable if you are willing to open your eyes, and not your brown ones.  More than anything you need to understand that you were born with nothing and will leave with nothing.  Most people live out their live accumulating things that break, rot, are stolen, and do nothing about their after-life.  I'm not a guru, or shrink, but I do know where to find peace...that is only through Jesus Christ. He promised that He will never leave us or forsake us (Hebrews 13:5).  Everyone who reads this has an opportunity to receive this free gift of love.  Have you ever experienced a miracle in your life?  You can, but if you haven't accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior, right now you are in sin and God must look away from sin (not literally, He knows all).  Remove the sin from your life and let God begin to work on your behalf.

Pray:

Father forgive me of all my sins.  I need you, come into my heart and be my Lord and Savior.  Help me in these hard times Lord.  I don't know for a fact that this is real so please help me build my faith in you.  In Jesus name I command all debt to leave my life.  Lord let your favor be with me. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

Believe...just believe. 

 

 

 in response to Brown_I_Grl...   

Why is it a secret?  It certainly sounds like you did nothing wrong, nothing to be ashamed of.  I hope your daughter finds peace, and I'l keep you and your family in my prayers.  Best wishes, Rosie

 in response to Brown_I_Grl...   

I thought I had problems...but you defininately have me bet...I'm so sorry you are experiencing all these things!  I just said a prayer for you and your family, especially your terminally ill child.  Don't loose your home without a fight...Make your mortgage company prove they have the original mortgage note.  If you are like me and have a subprime mortgage...there has been so much mortgage fraud against struggling families these days.  There's alot of information out there online about this topic.  May God Bless You and Your Family.  This may not be much help...it helps me when I feel hopeless...image yourself as a ball and bounce of your problems or they will surely drive you crazy.  I wish you and your family the very best.

Hi There,

     About your Mother's cancer. I heard about something that might cure

this tape of cancer. It does't hurt to try. The green vegetable asparagus.

It will stop cancer growth in some people. After you wash the asparagus

good, cook it than put it in the blender. You may add a little water to it if you like,

than use the blender until the vegetable is a thick liquid. Take 4 tablespoons

in the morning and 4 tablespoons at night. Do this for 3 or 4 months it should

help. If you don't have fresh asparagus use a can of green gaint asp. it

does not have any chemicals in it. Good Luck, Annika the Babysitter and Nurse.

 

Thanks for the information....(:

First of I suspect that the reason you are being asked to pay a fee is because these are third-party sites and they have done the work of gathering the grant information for you.

If you don't want to pay their fee then you should be able to find out about the government grants by going to the government's official website where you will not have to pay for the information.

As far as a 2nd job is concerned you might want to take a look at Google's Adsense program where you earn money when people click on ads that appear on your website or blog.  I recommend this because this is a great way to be able to earn money online - and since you seem to have Internet access this may be a good thing for you.

You can find out more about Google's adsense program by going to:

Hi Everyone....I am new here. I have been online most of the day trying to figure out how to get a government grant. Most of the sites I visited, want you to pay for the information..the funny thing is that people who need the grants do so because they need the financial help. I am a single mom with a 4 year old daughter. I would like to move somewhere for her and myself, but not sure how to afford it. I have two past due bills I would like to pay off. If I could get these done, things would be so much easier for her and I. I have been trying to look for a second job, but most are not hiring. I suppose are situation with the present economy may have something to do with that. Does anyone have any information they could share to help us?

Thanks so much! I really appreciate it.

Well, I am here because I don't know what else to do.  I have a 16 year old son who is slowly self destructing.  I have sent him to boot camp.  We have seen therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists and he has even been in a in patient program.  He is using drugs and alcohol and failing in school.  I have exhausted myself financially.  His father pays child support but helps with nothing else.  He hasn't seen his son in over 11 years.  Anyhow, I found a great troubled teen program but it is over $3000.00 per month for a 12 to 15 month program.  Needless to say this is out of my grasp.  I don't want to see him arrested and put into the system as I know that this could just worsen the situation.  I need to do something now for him.  I am running out of time.  Prayers for him are free and would also be greatly appreciated.  Thanks so much.   

Hi, this is to everyone.  Always no matter what always look at all the blessings we do have and not focus on what we dont have for I believe if we focus on what we dont have we will end up with less cause we are telling ourselves that we are lacking. This will cause worry axiety,stress sleepless nights you name it.  If we worry and have all these we cannot find solutions to our problems.  Always think big dream big for all things are possiable to those who believe.  I stopped worrying and started to really be thankful of what I have.  I remember I was looking for a mortgage and I paniced didnt know what to do.  Made my post asking for suggestions.  Didnt really find any however never gave up.  I received my mirracle I was approved at a bank and got a new mortgage on my home when my other mortgage company went out of business.  I thank God for that.  I never gave up.  Always thought positive. But what helped I knew the  bank manager and the bankk new me and what had happened to me in the past.  Now we are rebuilding our lives again.  Have also credit again for credit card companies.  Only to rebuild credit history.  Been paying off.  Things are wonderful life is great.  I know what it is like to have a need.  thankyou everyone for reading.  I would also like to share with you my mom is 76 years young and she is battling with breast cancer but her spirits are up.  When we talk I asked her boy ma are you and me in denial or what every day we laugh and tell one another I love you.  Love conquers so much.  This outcome that she has had in her life just made her all the more stronger and lovable to many people.  She is hoping that she could touch other peoples lives and let them know always think positive and remember God is always leading us  Believe in him he will never fail us.  thankyou for allowing me to comment

In August of 2008 I became very ill with highblood pressure. After 6 mos of unemployment  due to this illiness I am on the verge of loosing my home, my car and it appears Lately that I am failing my son who just turned 9 yrs old as a father.

I am looking for work but what I really need now is a hand financially. To catch up on my rent and car note would take $2,500 I would certainly be indebted to you, and when I return to work I will like to pay back as well as pay foward.

Hope someone is listening even for that I am eternally grateful .

Carol,

Have you applied for Disability, it could take a while to get it thur, but my mother has fibromyalgia she filed for her disability and it didn't take her all that long to get hers. My husband has been off work for a little over 2 years and we are currently fighting to get his disability it has been a long road and the bank is getting ready to foreclose on our home. I'm trying to hold on and I am scared to death of what is going to happen.

I hope things start looking up for you soon, hopefully your husband will be able to find a job soon. What line of work is your husband in? Like I said my mother has fibromyalgia, but the doctors have gotten hers pretty much under control, but she also has Lupus which goes right along with the other. The thing that they told my mother was to learn to control the disease not let the disease control her. That is about the best advice that anyone could have given her.

Thanks for the reminder. I so often forget that there is a God out there who will take care of me and my loved ones. I believe in him and have felt his spirit so often. But when that old depression creeps up on me I just turn my soul over to the devil. Your words were what I needed to hear, I have been so down since my sister was murdered last year. I use to saw I feel like a cat, hanging on a wire for my dear life, but I can see light at the end of the tunnel. But lately I have been saying right now that cat has fallen off the wire and the light has gone out. God would never turn the light out on me, I was foolish ever to believe that. Thanks for your posting.

I didn't know you could, I put my story on DigitalCharity.com. They only allow people to contribute through PayPal. But make sure you read the part about scams carefully, as I read on mans comments and it was obvious people were trying to scam him fortunatly he was tossing the checks he was sent.  Good luck.

 in response to Carol1994...   

Carol:

I am so sorry to hear about your heartbreaking story. Have you applied for SSDI, you need to. They will deny it, but keep appealing it. My sister, daughter and I all have Fibromyalgia. Where do you live are there no assistance programs. The internet is a wonderful resource for helping people get assistance, DSHS is worthless. Go to the teaching hospitals, they need to provide free care of they loose their funding. Also I have a dsytonia, western medicine first tried to convince me it was in my head, then they diagnosed it and said it is uncureable, it is a maddening disease, your tongue never stops turning, so you can not sleep, and there are times when it takes control of your mind and all you can do is follow the pattern of the tongue rotations, I have lost partial hearing in both ears, the reason I bring this up is that acupunture has been a huge help with this illness, and has been proven very successfull in helping those suffering from all neurological illnesses. If you can find a teaching hospital, natropathy, that teaches acupuncture, they will usually do a reduced fee for low income, my treatments are $25 and if I need to see a doctor of another kind during my visit it is free, such a a natupath, or chinese medicine doctor. I was literally bedridden from the disease and now I am working part-time. But the first thing you need to do is get some social security for yourself. There are organizations that will help you apply and help with your appeal, seach them on the internet under free legal help and then the name of your city and state. 211 is a great organization as they make referrals based on need if they have on in your community they might even be able to help with housing. God bless. My brother is homeless right now also. I wish I could help, ever cent I have left over I am putting towards helping him get housing. My heart goes out to you. But do everything you can to get some medical assistance. If you live in the Seattle area I know where tons of medical assistance is available. 211 would also refer to an organization to help with you SSI application. All of your children are eligable for state medical benifits, that a federal law. Doesn't matter how much money the parents have, the states have to provide medical for the children. I would go to DSHS and demand it. If you are disabled get a letter from your  doctor stating you meet the standard as a "permantly disabled" under the ADA of 1990 and apply for housing, you will automatically be moved up on the list. Most states have first time homebuyer programs, if you have not held deed to a home in your state for the last 4 years, you qualify for them, they are great helps in helping you get into a home if you are low income. But you need to get an income. Seach firstime homebuyer programs and your state.

 in response to Pat 8...   

I didn't realize this was a place where we judged what others posted on the sight, your response to the famly where everyone was disabled. You might be interest to know that my entire family, 6 brothers and 2 sister are disabled, inherited disease from my father, 2 of my sisters are dead both in their early 60's, my brother in his early 40's, both parents died in their mid 60's. I think you need to pray for a little humility to that God you feel has blessed you so. They are those that are not lucky enough to have the health to work and disabilility just doesn't cut it in any economy. They qualify you for one government program, and that disqualifies you for another. Quiet frankly I am tired of having to apologize to people for being disabled, I rather walk a mile in your shoes anyday Mr. I feel so blessed. Lay off the lady whose family is disabled, and ask your God for forgiveness that in stead of offering some words of kindness to a sick woman and her family, you took a hammer and pounded their esteem further into the ground, something all disabled people need. People like you make me sick, so hypocritical. I too am Christian, my God say, thou shall not judge. So I guess I will let you slide and tell myself you simply could not understand what it is like to be disabled because you have your health, you would not know what it is like to live in a family where disease is inherited and family member after family member dies, and year after year you bury one loved one after another. I guess when it comes to ignorance we simply need to forgive others, and hold our heads up high and be thankful we are blessed with the knowledge of empathy for those who are ill and unable to work, especially families where several members are disabled, it is really a battle to make ends meets, and the knowledge is a blessing, as we can truly feel for those who have little.
