I'm just a regular man who was born in March of 1977 and I need a little help.

I have a lot of ambition and I work very hard when I have the opportunity to do so.  It's just that I have been disabled since 1994 and I cannot find any kind of gainful employment at all.

It's not that I haven't looked either because I have been to every single store or business in the small town I live in with no success.

So therefore, I plan to start my own business Web site where I can work from my apartment on my home computer but the thing is that I need someone who can help fund the purchase of the site builder so I can build my own site.

The overall purpose of my Web business will be to teach other people how to become successful affilliate marketers.

If you decide to help me purchase the program needed to build my site, I will let you know what Web site address I register and you will be able to watch my site's progress on a day by day basis.

Feel free to contact me with a Private Message if you want to help out...!

Adult Education

I am seeking assistance for continuing my education.  I have been out of high school for 10 years and now it is time for me to go back.  I am interested in Radiologic Technology.  I plan to receive my associates degree, work a few years for the experience, then I would go back to school to receive additional education to learn the skills for  computer tomography or magnetic resonance imaging.  I would need assistance with childcare for the two years it would take to receive an Associates degree.

I am a mother of a 2 year old son.  My husband and I try very hard to make a home for our family.  He lost his job the day after Christmas and has had trouble finding another one.  I have picked up some contract work, and am now working two contract jobs in addition to my full time job.  I was diagnosed 2 years go with multiple sclerosis, so the extra work is not an easy task.

Anyway, we got behind one month on our house payment and have been unable to catch up.  Our bank is demanding two months (the behind month plus this month) payment within 48 hours.  I don't have it and don't know what to do.

Seeking financial aid for continuing education/ Social & Behavioral Sciences Degree

I am currently a 24 year old female student enrolled in the Adult Continuing Education Program at  Linfield College in Oregon, where I am pursuing my Bachelor's Degree in Social & Behavioral Sciences through online correspondence.  Although I have applied for financial aid through FAFSA, I still face a significant deficit of approximately $2000.00 for this upcoming Spring semester beginning February 11. I am at loss to how I will be able to continue my studies if unable to locate additonal funds. Any help or referral would be greatly appreciated.

I am here because I am a young, smart, dedicated mother of 2 very smart loving kids. I have come to a point in my life where the man that I trusted with our lives just decided to leave us with nothing. It is sad because he controlled everything and could care less about me and our kids well being. I have been a stay at home mother and I do not have any unnecessary bills. All I have is rent, utilities, food, car insurance and very little money for anything else. I want to go back to school to make something of myself but there are other things that stand in my way. I need a job but no one here will take a chance on me because I havent worked and I have no experience. I need money for everyday living and it makes it harder when I want to work and go to school and then I need money for a babysitter that I can trust with my kids. I am just so stressed that I cannot provide the things that I need for my kids. I here all the time about people going into debt and well I dont want to do that to myself or my kids. I want to have some stability for themand myself but it seems like I am getting nowhere and well the money that I still have will not last long. I am not sure what I am asking for I just know that I need help. I want to find a job at home but I cant invest the little money that I have. I have sold alot of my things to make more money and well that in itself makes me sad. I just really need something to help me get by. I would really love it if this site is real and well I am not afraid to talk to someone that is real and not looking to add to the stresses that I have. I am just so afraid that my kids will have to see the harsh realities of. I want to give them a roof over there head but I can only afford a few more months and I really dont know what to do. I just dont want them to feel in secure. I want the simple things in life but no one is willing to give me a chance to prove myself to them. Life is hard but it seems to want to keep me down rather than letting me and my family prosper.

 I have a list of things that I "WISH" I could have but then again I am not to lazy to make my wishes come true. I just need some help to be stabel enough to give my kids a home.I live in a small apartment and well to better understand my situation I am pretty much living off of 1500 a month and my rent is more than half that amount. I cant get a deposit for another place and well where I live it is a really reasonable price. My landlord is really nice and understanding but he is also struggling and well with 2 kids and we dont go shopping alot. Me and my kids have all second hand things, we eat canned goods most of the time, and we just spend time together so the good thing is that my kids dont need the fancy things to make them happy. They do want the new things but they know that I cant give it to them because I dont have the money. I would love to give them the nicer things for their birthdays and holidays but I cant sacrifice the money in that way. I am just feel so inadequate at times. I want to give them extra things because they are smart and deserve them but everything is so pricey. We rarely go to mcdonalds and when we go we only get the dollar menu thing and we go where we can get free refills. I mean that is a good thing but to have to explain to my little ones that I cant do more because mommy dont have the resources really makes me depressed. They dont know the things that I have to struggle with and I hope they never know but they see it and ask questions and I have to try and tell them something else that is positive. It becomes torture at times when they see the things that others recieve and how others indulge in the luxuries of life.

I am really looking forward to making a life with my kids but now I am trying to find some grants that I can apply for so that I can go back to school. I am having a hard time getting a job and finding needed help. I would really love it if people could help me financially but that is a dream in it self. I understand that people dont know if I am real or not but all I can say is that I am and if someone is generous enough to help me out they would be doing a great thing. I would be happy with 5 dollars I mean every little bit helps. I have really changed so much in my life to make a honest life with my kids and it hurts me that I cant give them the things that once had. They understand the situation a little but it still sucks for them because they are so young. I want to give them some security but here in hawaii it is quite difficult. I dont know what can help me but I just really dont want to go in to debt so that is why I am asking for help before we have to suffer more with those things. I am a open person and real as can be. I am not lying and well I hope that a decent person is willing to get to know me and my family enough to see that I am not scamming anyone. I really want grants for schools and I just dont know which ones are legit. But if anyone just wants to help me in monetary things that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for reading this and I hope that there are generous people out there that would like to help me and my kids in our time of need. I know there are alot out there and i probaly dont have a really hard story but I just dont want my kids to have to suffer a moment of hardships. Please feel free to respond. Thank you again

Does anybody know of any US government grants that a man over 40 can get for education? I'm looking to change careers withing the transportation industry but schooling is expensive. I'm a US born, middle-class citizen. This seems to be a factor in receiving a federal grant so I thought I should put it in here.
Funding for School

I would like to find grant money so that I may finish getting my degree for a BA in Accounting and to also obtain a BA in Business Management.  To have both of these degrees would benefit me and my family and my business.  The monies that I receive would allow me to pay for all of my education needs.  Such as books, supplies, fees, tution, living expenses and transportation.

I am a SAHM of 10, six here full time, three more every other weekend, and one that has passed over to the other side. We are working towards improving our lives and finances.  I fully intend to get a driver's license for the first time in my life, just as soon as I possibly can.  Right now my husband and I are due to start online college courses on the 27th of this month.  This leaves us excited, terrified, anxious, elated, and a host of other emotions as we try to figure out how to move forward with this endeavor.

Financial Aid For College

   I am a single mother of 3 looking to further my education.  I currently have a Residential/Commercial Cleaning Business, that has been established for 4 years, and am in urgent need of more education to take my business to the next level.  Being out of school for the past 13 years is making it very difficult to get financial aid.  I have no clue where or how to get scholorships or grants without spending hours on the computer dealing with all the advertisments for everything else but the financial aid needed.  Where and how do you get the actual aid needed?

Career change to pilot

I am a 40 year old white male with 20 years experience as a truck driver. The transportation industry is the area that I have have always worked in and want to stay in. Since trucking has become less and less of a challenge I would now like to learn to become a commercial pilot. The reason I am researching grants is because through my internet research I have found that good flight schools that I can attend full-time have a cost that range from thirty-five to sixty thousand dollars. I am always seeing websites that claim the government has all this grant money that they're "just waiting" to give away. So I'm hoping I can get my share to pay for my schooling. I then intend to sell my house to pay my living expenses for the next couple of years or however long it takes to get a job as a commercial pilot.
