Well I have found some relief and now just need help getting my rent current. I only need $500.00 now and sure hope I can get it by Friday. I have to pay the rent then and have come up with half on my own and found someone to help with the electric. If anyone out there can help me I would appreciate it.

I am a mother who has recently become disabled. I am attempting to get help through Social Security, but this can take up to 30 months. I have had 14 surgeries in the past. I am on 7 different medications daily and it takes all the money I can get to purchase it.

My daughter has ADHD, acid reflux, and suffers from depression. She is on 3 medications  and luckily she qualifies for help on her medicines since she is a child.

My ex-husband is over $45,000.00 in arrears on child support. They say he is on the "locate" list. This means that they cannot find him by putting his name in a computer. He is now listed on Georgia's Most Wanted Child Support Evaders list. I put up a link to that page as he is listed now. If you see him, turn him in. He has warrants issued for his arrest in Stephens County, Georgia.

We don't have ANY money for Christmas this year, and all the charities around my area only want to help people who have children under the age of 12. PLEASE help me make my daughter's Christmas special. If you want to help you can send a gift to the address below. She LOVES Tinkerbell and Georgia Bulldogs. She needs clothes (Sizes are shirt--Medium, Pants--size 10 ladies, shoes--size 8 ladies.). Thank you in advance for anything you can do to help! God bless you and your families.

If you wish to have more information you can email me at semmaf@yahoo.com. If you cannot or prefer not to use PayPal my address is 795 Seven Forks Road, Martin, GA 30557. Thanks for caring enough to read my story.

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.

I am a single mother raising two teenagers.  Im not on aidpage for no one particular reason, there are many.  Most of us on here are going and/or have gone through some hard times.  I am in hope of meeting new friends and lending a shoulder if someone should need some emotional support.  In return you may find that I am in need of your shoulder as well.

 

I am trying to live with the fact that my 17 year old son has a rare disease known as Wegeners Granulomatosis and there is no cure.  This disease was caught in some of the last stages, therefore he is catagorized as terminal.. So, I can feel everyones pain who is having a trying time as well..  Maybe this site will help keep our minds off of things for a bit, thats what I am hoping for..  If there is anything I could do for anyone I would, I can offer you a friend or just someone to talk to..

 

If there are any doctors or medical proffesionals on the site, I would be so grateful if you could tell me more about this disease.. Thanks

Help me make a home for my daughter?

I am a single mom of a gorgeous 18 month old daughter. I work. She goes to day care. And I have an elderly dog, who I rescued more than 12 years ago. I work for a religious congregation and actually make a fair salary in my field.

This is my quandry. I qualify for for the first time homebuyer program in my city, but I do not make enough money for a real life mortgage. The lower i can get my mortgage the more realistic it will be that I can achieve my dream of owning a house to make a real home for my daughter.

My daughter is 18 months old. She talks very little, but is getting there. She is bright eyed and quick to giggle. She is very sweet, whether she is giving kisses, is tired and rubbing her eyes, or when she tucks her sippy cup under her arm and runs around the house. She has whispy blond hair, big hazel eyes and a button nose.

I love her more than life itself. I will do anything for her to be safe and happy. I want to make a home for her to feel loved and content and secure, so when she goes to school she can feel confident that her home is stable and can she can focus on being a child.

I grew up in the projects in Boston. We were very poor. My dad still lives there on his meager VA benefits and SocSec. He is unable to help me financially, but he is rooting for me and my daughter.

My baby's father was not ready to be a dad. In fact he is not really ready to work a real job to be able to pay child support. So I support my little family alone. And, as a renter, I have had to move so many times. I really want to give my daughter stability and a real home. It is very difficult for me to ask for help, but here I am asking.

  • Will you make a financial contribution to help me make a down payment on a small home for my small family?
  • Do you have a small piece of land you are willing to donate to me?
  • Will you say a prayer that I might be able to pull it together to do this?
I need enough to get by for a month or two

A week and a half ago, my husband of almost six years left without notice.  I am working, but not making nearly enough to cover my expenses.  I found out after he left that my husband had not been paying the bills and have started getting shut off notices for water and electric.  State aid is impossible for me to get, I cannot meet their requirements without quitting the work that I'm doing which is what will enable me to pay the rent and continue paying the bills!  I have a nine year old son that I have to take care of.  I need $1600 to catch everything up so that we don't lose everything.

HELP-My child and I can not be without power

I am a 29 year old mother of a 5 year old. I recently had surgery and missed alot of work. I do not have a nest egg and I am now in jeopardy of being evicted and having my power shut off. I have tried everything to get caught up and just can not get it done alone. I have horrible credit, so I can not get a loan to help. I just wish that a fairy would come down and help me catch up my power and rent. If I could get the help this time I know it would be better after that. Does anyone have any suggestions? Please I promise to do my part for someone else once I am back on my feet.

Need help paying bills while son is having surgery

My name is Cindy, I am 35 years old. I have two boys ages 5 and 9. My 9 year old was diagnosed in Dec, with chiari malformation. You can do a search on it and find lots of information. He has to have surgery soon, we are going to denver march 19th to meet with the nuerosurgen. sorry if thats spelled wrong. We are in need of some help. I need to raise at least $2000.00 by the end of march to keep a roof over our heads till we are through the really hard patch in this. My landlord is screaming for money I dont have. I just have to get through 3 months and we will be fine. So, please if you can find it in your heart's to help us we would be so gratefule. The last thing I want is to be in a homeless shelter with a child who just had brain/spine surgery. Please consider helping us.

Thank you and god bless,

Ambitious Single Mom Needs a Little Financial Help for Son's Educational Fees

Hi there,

I am a single mom of a small family. Our family consists of myself, my 13 year old son and our golden retreiver, Buddy (who is as important a member as the both of us! :-) )... I have my own copy editing, copy writing and research business and do fairly well, making a decent income. However, my son is somewhat of a special needs student and is enrolled in a private school with specialized education. He is a wonderful and amibitious child. However, he was diagnosed with severe depression a few years back and an anxiety disorder. As one would imagine, depression in a child so young was a shock. Yet, because of his shy and overly sensitive demeanor, the public school system was not a place where he could thrive. His progressive downward spiral began when he became fully aware that he was not like the other kids and was continually falling behind his peers...both academically and mentally. Today, with the right medications and the incredible help of a private school that is wonderful in dealing with children just like him, he is a happy teenager who has finally grown some confidence and a sense of worth. Nevertheless, his schooling is $900/month: a tuition that his grandparents had paid previously. Unfortunately, his grandmother (my mother) has been diagnosed with cancer and the copay for her chemotherapy appointments are $3000 each, aside from medications and other expenses. This leaves them unable to help my son, this year.

I have tried to save in every possible way in order for my son to be able to continue in this school. However, on top of rent, food, some unexpected medical expenses and all the other usual expenses involved in taking care of a child, it is just not possible. I am also struggling with some health issues of my own and the medical costs associated with that. I was previously diagnosed with bleeding ulcers and have become considerably anemic as a result. Having not pursued the treatment I should have (due to cost), I've ended up with severe anemia...for those of you in the medical field, I've had a hematocrit rate as low as 19. My continued medical appointments, blood transfusions and IV Iron therapy are quite expensive. I hate to have to choose between my own health and my son's wellbeing. Though, I will certainly choose him above all, a heatlhy child also requires a healthy mom to take care of them. Yet, without the specialized care that my son receives from his private school, I am very fearful that he will experience further issues and not receive the specialized attention he needs to become a productive and well-adjusted young adult. I am desperately hoping that I will be able to obtain a loan in the amount of  $3600 to pay for his first four months of tuition for the coming year, affording  him the opportunity to continue attending this school, while allowing me to continue my treatments for the next 4 months.

I am infinitely grateful for any help I receive and more than happy to pay back the full amount with interest and in a timely manner.


Please feel free to contact me via email: scarletletterwriting@hotmail.com
thank you for your time! :-)
Single Mom, No available jobs.

I recently lost my job of over a year.  I was treated unfairly, lied to, and about.  I have a 3 year old son, I recieve no child support, and have very little help.  With horrible credit, I am not able to recieve a bank loan, or a line of credit.  I have been looking for work since April of this year, have been on countless interviews.  My problem is that because of the scandalous advances of my former employer and company, there is no one I have found that is willing to help, or to take a chance on me.  I am a dependable worker, person, and mother, who is unable to catch a break.

Hi I am a 29 year old mother of 4 children and 2 step children. My husband was recently layed off. We were given a 2 bedroom trailer for 4 of us to live in. My 2 step children live with there mother and My older 2 are staying with my mother for school purposes. I have tried about everything that I can think of to get some help to pay bills and lot rent and have come up empty handed. My daughter is 7 months old and growing out of all her cloths as is my 4 almost 5 year old son (whome may be autistic). We were able to get a small dorm sized fridge when we moved in this trailer and it is working but the going to the store every other day is killing me. I dont know what to do anymore. I have gotten help from both of our families and dont really want to ask them anymore. Its been 2 months now and our bills are racking up. My son will be 5 on the 31st and i am somehow hoping to pull off a small birthday for him. I forgot to add..... We also are borrowing a car and the owner needs it back asap. Hard to do when we have no job, no money and no way to find any of those things.

SIngle Mother of abused child in Oregon

I am posting this asking for any help or resources for my best friend. She is an amazing proud 24 year old single mother of a 3 year old daughter. She is divorced from the father of the daughter who was extremely abusive. He is an Iraq veteran and now a jobless drug addict. He pays no child support and is living in his parent’s basement. While visiting her dad the little girl was sexually abused (by her uncle) recently according to child protective services and due to her young age there is not solid enough evidence to charge anyone with a crime. Her mother who is a 2nd year full time college student has had to move back into a small room in her parent’s house with her daughter. She is at risk of having to drop out of school due to her overwhelming debt accrued during the divorce by her dead beat ex. She had to run up credit card bills to buy formula and diapers for the baby.

She is in a debt repayment program already and paying 250 dollars a month to pay off around 9,000 in credit card debt. She also has a 188 dollar a month car payment on a car that she needs to be able to get herself to school and her daughter to daycare. Her daughter is enrolled in a head start school program for at risk youth that allows mom to go to school during the day. She does not qualify for welfare because she would have to work full time. If she worked full time she would have to drop out of school and then start paying off yet another monthly bill of student loans that would be of no value as she does not have a degree yet. Her daughter would then also not qualify for daycare and she would end up having to pay full price for it.

Her parents are poor and unwilling to help and want her out of the house soon. She thought about selling her car so that she could save money but she would not be able to commute from where she is to school and daycare and the value of the car is only about half the total left to pay it off.

If she files for bankruptcy I think she will lose the car that she needs. If she works she would have to pay for daycare as family will not watch the child and the cost of daycare I think is too high. She is also very worried about the negative impact her parents are having on her mother/daughter relationship as anytime she tries to discipline her daughter her mother undermines her authority. Her mother also fills the grandchild up on sugar and lets the kid stay up until midnight. This makes it impossible for my friend to get her homework done as her mo0ther yells at her to take care of her daughter, but then gets mad when she makes her go to bed. My friend’s mother is an extremely conservative woman who feels that going to school is the wrong thing and that she should drop out of college because it is not the right thing for a woman to do. She is trying to sabotage her daughters fight to succeed as a single mother.

My friend has two cavities, and needs glasses and does not have any medical insurance. She found out that she may even be getting a bill for 1000 dollars for bringing her daughter to the emergency room in regards to the sexual molestation by the uncle.

My best friend has had a very hard life, father left mom at the age of 10 for another man, molested by people her whole childhood, and first raped at age 14 and repeatedly over her teen years. She is worried about her daughter falling into the same horrible problems. I am trying to find sources of help for her so that she can succeed in providing a better life for her daughter than she had. I myself am helping as much as I can, which is not much being a student myself. She is a very determined woman going to school majoring in sociology so that she can get a job making a difference in those less fortunate. It is extremely hard for her to ask for help, so I am for her.

Looking for a helping hand with:

  1. Dental care

  2. Glasses

  3. Medical bill for child

  4. Help paying off credit card debt

  5. Money for rent or school

  6. Daycare assistance so she can work more

At this point every little drop in the bucket can help; clothing is the one thing that they have plenty of as it seems to be the only easy help to get.

Ok I am here to give support, not financially though I would if I could.  First let me say I have recently taken in 3 children temporarily without any aide.  We have to pay for everything for them.  We did this as their mother is having some problems and CPS got involved.  I already have 5 children.  We have about $20000 in debt that we occurred over the years.   It was way worse as we have paid it down a lot this past year.  Just last year my husband and I split (more on that later) and I was on welfare with assistance with daycare.  He paid child support and had been for two years but with that many kids I was still able to get help for daycare. My husband and I have gotten back together.   I took a second job for 4 months beginning in January ending in April planning on saving and quitting my job to stay home this summer with my kids.  Not that my job isn't great but its an hour away and I will never be able to promote.  Its a small company with nowhere for me to go.  My plans were to stay home this summer because for four kids in daycare(ages 9,7,7,6) (one is 15) and now possible another for one of the other three kids is 10(just have to wait and see about her mom but they said they could possibly stay with us up to 6months), Anyway now no assistance as since my husband and I got back together the only thing we are eligible for is the insurance(Texas Medicaid/Chips) we make about 35000.00 together.  Anyway daycare plus gas would be almost my whole check, not to mention wear and tear.  So my plan was stay home this summer (In all of my childrens lives I have never gotten to stay home with them for more than a week vacation, so I have to say I have been so excited, I got close last year but my husband had mild heart attackand lost all of his overtime they planned to give him plus had to take it easy, then he got hurt at work). Anyway so I had planned to then try and do some babysitting in the summer, then when school starts back see if I can substitute at some of the local schools, clean houses etc..  Did I mention I have been working on my accounting degree since 2002.  So I am in my third year now and taking 9semester hours, this semester.

 Anyway now I am kinda worried that I won't get to stay home.  I already paid baseball fees, bought the gear and was looking forward to a summer with them.  Not sure though how I will be able to work though either but the savings I had from this second job was suppose to last for the summer.  Though already I am seeing it deplete with the extra money, for the 3 kids we took in, for after school events, pictures at school, their baseball fees, groceries, groceries, oh did I say groceries. So again I am not sure the solution to this as the daycare will still be as much as my pay check plus who will get the kids to their ball.  But anyway I am trying not to complain because (and here is where the support comes in!!!!!) we are still are in a pretty good place compared to the last 2 1/2 years.

 

Ok 2005 my husband and I were already on shaky ground when we lost our son.  He was shot.  My eleven year old baby taken by an idiot.  It was an idiotic thing that happened and he is in jail for involuntary manslaughter but I still cant believe how one stupid thing caused this much pain in mine, my babies, husband, and families lives, but it did.  Then my husband and I fell completely apart.  I was mad I missed all this time with my son, he wouldn't talk to me, we just drove a wedge between us.  At this time my children were 3,4,4,6,13.  So it was sad for all of us.  Then I was sick with depression for a while, not long because I had my other kids to get me going.  But it wasn't good while I had it..  I then decided I was going to quit my job as a manager working 50 to 60 hours a week, a job I hate now because for seven years it was my child and it kept me from home too much.  So I quit it proudly, with another job under my belt, dont get me wrong I know I had to work, never in my life have I not worked.  But you will never believe 6 days later my house burned down.  Yep burned down, I was atonished.  The only insurance we had (because this was the first home my husband and I bought neither of us knowing anything) was 15,000 which barely covered what we owed the bank for.  So here I am at a job making half what  I use to with nothing, not one thing.  But then I thought yes ma'am you have your five babies.  So I said forget everything else and be happy.  Then my husbad (we were still seperated) he is only 39 then has a mild heart attack.  I realized that I can't live with out him.  We starting working on it.   Now we got a mortgage and a brand new home, we started over.  If it wasn't for my 20000 in debt I know I could stay home and raise my family, I'll be honest I never wanted that till I lost my son, I am ashamed of that and realize now my children were the most important in my life.  Now my goal is to finish my degree, work from home as a CPA, we even built a small two room and bathroom on one end of my house. I have a need to be home so bad sometimes I just want to quit my job.  I just have never been irresponsible so I keep going.   I know one day I will have that dream.  Right now I can't tell you (because I would never be able to finish) all of the other things that happened that 3 years ago by themselves seemed bad but once we lost our son I just didn't think of them that way. Even my home burned down wasn't that bad to me, other than I lost all of my babies stuff, including everything that belonged to my son that died including home movies,  I got pictures but no homemovies where I can hear his laugh, see his smile.  But I got him in my heart and a day doesn't go by.

 

So for all of you people out there having a hard time.  I know its bad when you have finacial problems, I hate it right now that I am spending my savings that would make it easy for me to stay home this summer.  But would I not help these children, who are scared and miss their mother, who don't know when they are going home, would I let them take then to a town 50 miles away to stay with people they don't know, to go to school where they never been.  I think not.  I am glad to help them and don't resent them at all.  I went to the Goodwill yesterday and found a bunch of Coleman water jugs for .99 cents, now I don't know if they will be with me this summer but I bought 8, one for each of the kids. These are the nice kind and I couldn't believe my luck, and the fact they had enough for all my kids well that was my sign to buy them.  Am I real religious, no but I am working on it.  I decided if I want to see my son again then I got to make it to heaven.  I wasn't ever a bad girl, but I sure wasn't as good as I could be.  So I look for signs and have faith God is taking care of us.

Goodness, this is so hard. This is such an awesome site, and so many great people helping each other on so many ways..I really have a long story and I truly am not trying to whine, really but oh my Lord times are tough. O.k. I'll just jump right into it so here goes...:)

Married to a U.S. Army Veteran for almost 15 years, (my junior high sweetheart)..Two bright, wonderful, sweet children directly from God. They are 14 and 11. My husband got out of the Army in '97 and went directly to work in the field he is still in today. In 2005 Katrina hit us, and right after that he was laid off from the company he had been with since he got out of the army. The company was forced to close due to too much loss as a result from dear Ms. Katrina. Luckily at the time we had a little savings, but that went so quickly. Family helped as much as they could and he finally was able to get on with a new company doing the same job in 2006, we doggy paddled trying to get out from under the mountain that formed amazingly fast and things were starting to look alot brighter for us by 2007. During this time we were living with his parents, and finally got back into a home of our own in March of '07. Things went smoothly for a little while until a new corporation took over the one he was working under...there were alot of adjustments to make and work slowed down to a snails pace. Our family motto is "Through God all things are possible" and "And this too shall pass". We believe these things like nothing else. In January of this year his company just pulled out without any warning, their home office is in another state and there is no phone number or address in which to find these people. There was no last paycheck, no severance package...no "sorry, tough luck"..nothing..It is amazing how cruel life works sometimes, but we keep fighting the good fight..but we are losing fast. The landlord served a 3 day eviction notice today, I had been able to scrape up the rent for February, but didn't pay until Feb. 28th. We are now late,late, late for March ($600.00)..and going into April :( Another (600.00)....Utilities (500.00)

Total:$1700.00 that hurts just to type that

Now for the second part of our story..On March 5th, my husband had been out job hunting and was on his way home..well about 6 miles from home he ran out of gas on the side of the road. This was at about 7 p.m. He walked part of the way and then a great samaritan stopped and picked him up and brought him home. We thought we would just hop into my car and go right back to pick up the truck..here we go...the battery in my car was dead..no battery charger and none of the neighbors was available to jump us off. So my husband..bless his heart..at 1 a.m. he took off on our son's bike with the gas can in a plastic shopping bag slung over the handle bars.. Rode the 6 miles back to where the truck was and no truck was there..he had left his hazard lights on...left his strobe lights on...put out safety cones ALL around the truck..it was gone! So he rode the bike all the way back home, it is roughly 2:30 a.m. by now. We call the Sherriff's Department "Yessir we had it towed due to the fact that it was obstructing traffic"...just great...all of his tools, equipment..his entire livelyhood is on that truck.......so we call towing company...($120.00 towing fee + $25/day storage). "Can we at least get his work equipment off the truck, so that he may work to pay to get the truck out of storage"???????? "No ma'am, not until you pay all the fees".......By the time we got any amount of money the fees has accumulated so much that we cannot even touch what they want now, which is over $600.00..they are selling his truck April 25th...I guess right along with everything he needs to work.......My grandmother always said "when it rains it pours" I never knew quite what she meant until now. So we keep chugging along, just trying to make lemonade out of all these lemons, but I am so tired. We are both looking for work continuously. The bright side of all this, my babies are still smiling and holding their heads up...God is awesome! I am hoping that someone...somewhere may be able to help us, while we are trying to help ourselves..I have always believed in "doing my good deed for the day", because it always comes back around... be it in a special prayer from someone..a chuckle...a hug..a hand up??? Please if anyone can find it in their hearts to help, I will find any possible way to "pay it forward".

God Bless
