I am a mother of three.  I have a fifteen year old, a four year old and a two year old.  My husband left last month and took all the money and our only running vehicle.  I was trying to do an online business to try and make a little extra money to help out, but that didn't work out very well.  I no longer have the money to make products to sell.  I haven't been able to find work or help with grants around this small town.  They are shutting off our electric today and I'll have an eviction notice tommorrow.  I'm not sure what to do.  I will be having a yard sell this weekend to try and make a little extra money, other than that, I'm lost.  I've already applied for work at all the places in town even places I know I don't qualify for.  Without electric, I can't hope to get a call for work and without a home, my children will have to go to foster care.  If you know of any way to help, please let me know.

     Hello all.  I'm 14 years old and luv to hang with my friends and family.  Lately things have been hard for my mom and us.  My step dad left and took our money and the only car we had to use.  Well, we have a van, but he broke it before he left so it doesn't run and the landlord just had it hauled off anyway.  My mom's been crying a lot because she can't find work and we are getting kicked out of our home soon because we can't afford the rent.  I want to help, but I don't know how.  I help her watch my sister and brother when we walk around town looking for a job for her, but it's not enough.  She's been talking to social services about putting my sister and brother in foster care and she told me I might have to go live with my dad.  I don't want to live with him and I don't want to not see my brother and sister again.  She says that she loves us very much and just wants us to have good lives, and she doesn't think she can give us what we need.  I don't want to be without her.  I love her and I know how hard she is trying.  If anyone can help then let me know please.  I would really like to get any help you can give.

Thanks

I have started a website that sells handcrafted items, especially journals and mixes in a jar.A percentage of the profits go toward the pay it forward grants that I offer.  I also take donations for pay it forward, but I can only give out grants that equal the amount that is in the grants account.  If I only have $50.00 I can only give $50.00.  Grants do not exceed $500.00, so if I have $2000,000 dollars in the grant account then I will award 4 grants for that month.

I am asking for donations for the pay it forward grants and or the purchase of products to aid in the pay it forward account.  Thank you and if you have any questions just email me or visit the web-site listed here.
