Almost homeless

I need a miracle.
I didn't want it to come down to this, but I have no other resources.  I'm a 26 year old, single mother of 3, I recently lost my job, I just ended an abusive relationship that lasted 6 and 1/2 years.  Now I have no money for rent, my electricity is going to get shut off tomorrow, I'm driving a car that belongs to my ex's father and it over-heats and breaks down, therefore I don't even have reliable transportation to find a new job.  The town I live in, for some reason doesn't have public transportation. I don't have money for a taxi.  My only parent is mentally ill and on disability so therefore unable to help me.  I have no family to help, my friends are just as bad, if not worse.  I know this is a long shot, but I need some help.  I've contacted state workers, and all kinds of public assistance, and they can only do so much.  So, if anyone has any ideas or if someone knows of any places that could offer some kind of help or advice, I don't know, I'm a day away from rock-bottom. -thanks, jesse

I really hate asking for help. But I do need help. i got sick with pneumonia and was in the hospital for a month and on oxygen for a month. I lost my job and now im barely getting back on my feet. My electricity and gas are off due to only being able to apply a lil bit at a time to my bills. Now i got a job again but im barely catching up. Its hard being a single mom with two kids and trying to catch up on everything and for xmas. My car has been breaking down almost every couple of weeks and I am walking to work still trying to get over the breathing problems i had with this. I don't k now where else to turn. I got dropped out of my college classes because i couldn't go due to this reason. so i am trying to get back on feet so i could finish.

Someone PLEASE Help us!!! Major!!

Is there anyone who can help my family and I out? Our house is being forclosed on and we have no money to move with. We're trying to get back to California from Tennessee. We have no money for gas, food, or for a truck to rent. All we're asking for is $1500.00  Just to rent the truck and to have a bit of gas money. We are desprate. PLEASE!! Will someone help us...

Our own realatives wont even lend us money, and we've begged them to help. Red Cross wont help, and neither will Catholic charities. We dont know what else we can do. We've sold everything we could in the past few weeks just to live on and hoping a investor will buy our house, but we wont be getting any money back, and he hasn't called us weither or not he'll accept the house.

PLEASE!! help us!!!

55 year old single mother needs help for a new roof ,&6000.00 to buy my home

Hello there, How are you?

    I am a single mother of 4 kids.  I am mentally disabled. I am about to be an official., homeless, bag lady.

    The house I have lived in for 23 years, and rented all that time- needs a new roof.  .It is  only a 5 room house on a city lot.

    My landlord does not want to pay to have a roof  put on or fixed.  My kitchen ceiling literally leaks in the house, when there is a super hard rainfall, also have lots of water spots on ceiling in other rooms.

      He has offered me the option of buying the house for only 6 thousand dollars, an unheard of bargain, The house is over 100 years old,or he'll sell it and I will have to move out..

     Being mentally disabled, I do not do very well  with any kind of change in my life.  I really do not want to have to live in the streets or a shelter, and can not afford to rent anywhere else, as I have been very fortunate in that my landlord did not raise the rent much in all 23 years, but the catch is, he did not fix anything either.

    I raised all 4 of my kids in this  house.  I have never even borrowed a cup of sugar from a neighbor. I never ask for anything, but sometimes everyone needs some help.

     I am a good citezen, never in any trouble. None of my 4 kids have ever been in any kind of legal trouble.  None of them have any money to help me, as they are still in school.,trying to get an education so they won't end up like me,   poor,   sick,  broke,  and    almost   homeless.

 My deceased dad always said, " Use your brain, so you won't have to earn a living with your back,"

meaning physical labor.

 If anyone thinks they can help me in any way, financially or with a new roof, please contact me, and all interest and help will be very much appreciated.

    "Love isn't  Love, until you give it away".

                                                                    P.U.S.H.----that is what it says on an ink stamper I have.  means, Pray until something happens.  I feel like my life is over, if I am left homeless. Thank You for listening.    Sister Sarah

I can not pay my rent so I'm being keeped out of the housing unit I live in

I'm a single mom who finally has gotten my life back together, but I'm still poor and uneducated.  I lived from pay check to pay check, but now it has gotten worse.  I'm so behind in my bills, that I'm living beyond my next pay check. I'm so humiliated and frustrated. No one will give me a good paying job without a college degree. I can not afford college and still feed my daughter. I'm not elligible for welfare do to my daughter's age. I'm not elligible for HUD or any other form of bying a house because my credit is poor....I can go on and on but i have no real solutions and fast.

I'm so tired but there is no rest for me and I have to keep living this way if I dont want to be hungry or homeless.

Three days until moving - going back to cali - but no home to go to

My family and I made the worste possible choice EVER in our lives. We moved to Tennessee from California a year ago thinking things will get better, but they haven't. Everything began going down hill three months of being here and just conitnues to get worse. Not even friends or family will loan us some money. Instead of coming to our aid like we've done so many times. They instead let us get down even further in our debt....  Now our house is forclosing on us, and the only choice we have is to go back to California, but there's a problem - We dont have money to go back on, and we dont have a place to actually go to. No one will take us in and no one is willing to help get us a place. My mom quit her job after finding out about my dad's cancer in early march, and my dad had to quit his because of the servier pain in his leg and the agoney of just trying to stand. I had kept my job up until two days ago because we'll be leaving. We have no place to go, and no way to get back to cali - We dont even have the money to get a truck for our stuff alone with gas money or food money.

It seem's like our only hope is out of our reach and we're stuck in a pit of dispare with no one wanting to help. I had found a house that we might be able to buy, but we have no jobs, and no down payment.....

If someone can help us, please do.... We just want to go back home to a place we knew best and where we felt safe. Please help.... Please.... http://www.myspace.com/helptheyoungfamily

My name is Debbie I have  3 children and after 14yrs of marriage I became ill annd my husband left me! I'm so scared I have tried everything to get help to know avail! We are living in a small 1 bedroom apt! My kids have had to drop out of sports etc. I tried to work and whenn my doctor found out,it hit the fan!! If I could find someone that could find it in their heart to please help me? I don't know  what I could do to  repay you but I don't wannt anything for free. If I could get 25,000 it would get me out of debt annd I would be able to get a home. Sorry about my typing but my fingers ddon't work very well.

Thannk you and God Bless you!! I will ad a pic later my daughter has to do it  for  me

I took all the savings money I had to start a business ..the business never took off. I have no backup savings and my hours of my job have been cut drastically . I have taken two other jobs to try to keep myself afloat and it is still not paying enough to cover my rent ..My radiator on my car just blew and living in Southern Ca, it is near impossible to get to work without a car. And also part of my other jobs are to visit clients in different areas of town. I need to get my rent paid so at least I will have a home . I have no where to go and I fear I will wind up living in my car .

I will gladly work for someone who can lend this money to me . I do not expect just to be given funds.

I can't lose my home and I have been trying everything I know .
