"Our only hope ls our children and olderfolk," Good God in heaven knows, the "powers that be" sure won't change their ways and help the backbone of america. Things went bad when we started moving Grandpa & Grandma out of the home into oldfolks homes. The kids lost precious teachings that are vital to life. The olderfolk lost their reason to be. All in the name of Bigger, better,faster and longer! We have a vast number of children lost in fostercare, on the street,and in broken homes. And with the great number of functioning olderfolk lets take some of the failing family farms and put them together? This is my idea. The children have not only lost the joys and lessons that Mom and Dad have no time to teach. But what is more, They don't learn how to be Human. Look around, We are in deep we must begin with our children so that when they are "The powers that be" they wil treat their familys with a bit more Humanness. One farm is all we need to start.   A.

I just found this site today and so I am still unsure how this works, and am still feeling my way around a bit. I am a single mommy of two little boys, who are my heart. I am also a full time college student, and sell on ebay as well. Right now I have no income, other than what I try and sell on Ebay. I have severe depression and anxiety attacks.. and it is difficult for me to find work. Although I do try and do what I can from home. . I am in great need of help with bills at the moment and simple things that are hard for me to come by right now such as diapers, toilet paper, etc..

I have posted a number of sites for others to take a look at that I have found to be helpfull, but they can only help so much and I am in great need at the moment.

We have plenty of food, so this is a blessing. But really need help to get my car insurance and plates, so i can take the kids to doctors appointments, etc..

We also have a heat shut off notice as well as an electric shut off notice, ( I can show copies to anyone willing to help us with this, or even contribute directly to the utility companies themselves) (I have sought help at community agencies, to no avail)

I have no one to turn to to ask for help.. So i am turning to this online community in hopes that someone can help... even if its jus a few dollars, it can add up to a package of diapers, etc..

My email and pay pal are sdelan05@gmail.com

Also I would love to find a female friend in my area that I can chat with and be friends with.. I have no friends in this small town..

If nothing else... a big blessing would be to find a strong community of female positive friends... someone that i can meet and we can uplift eachother with cards in the mail, emails, etc... I have a HUGE heart and value friendship very highly....I am the sort of person who likes to create lifetime friendships...

I have also been through many obstacles in my lifetime and survived much.. and so I can relate to what many people are going through, because I am either going through the same thing or have at one point in time in my life...

Thanks everyone... feel free to add me to your pages... I do not quite know how to do so myself quite yet... also if anyone could help me post my profile picture.. I am having a difficult time getting it to work.. thanks..

Im not even sure what this site is for other than just having people out there who know what im going through. I have spent the last few years wondering if im going to be able to hang on. Im an adult survivor of child abuse and sexual abuse. For most of my life I have been able to maintain, but recently I feel like im comming apart. Im sure most of it is related to the fact that my life latley is so out of control. The economy is so bad right now that the stress level's have reached an all time high. I know im not the only one out here suffering, I just feel like I am.  I was diagnosed with Post Tramatic Stress Syndrome, re-occuring depression, Severe Panic and Anxiety. So with all this going on the lack of money isn't helping. I know what I need to do, and I want to be able to do it, I just cant. And I know what your thinking not with that attitude, but I used to have a great attitude, I just lost it somewhere down the road. My husband is Disabled with a bad Back and Knee, It makes it hard because we are trying to maintain a house and raise 3 kids on his disability pay and it just doesnt work.. I've tried everything. I have tried to work and tried to go to school but I just cant finish anything. I start out great and then fizzle. It gets so bad I get so over whelmed I cant continue I start getting panic attacks and then im done. If anyone can offer suggestions Im open. Anything.

until then Im still hanging in there.

Is this suppose to be about me?  If so, I was born and raised in Minnesota.  Married my high school sweetheart and then moved to Colorado.  Had my only child there, a son.  Moved to San Diego during my divorce.  My family had moved there many years earlier.  Met and fell in love with my soul mate.  Spent many years in the San Diego area.  Got sick ans spent 4 months int the hospital with APS.  Lost left leg b/k amputation and vision in right eye due to APS.  Moved to Morth Carolina as my husband was from here and needed to be near his sick parents.  Lost my husband in 2005 from Pancreatic Cancer.  I need help with getting his benefits from the VA.  Can anyone out there help me?

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

I am a 34 year old, single mother with a 20 month old son. Things have been very difficult of late. For 13 years I have been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis among multiple other medical problems, including a Protein C Deficiency which causes a clotting disorder. I have had 15 life threatening blood clots in my lungs in the last 8 years, the most recent being in my Pulmonary Artery. Now I find out that instead of MS I may actually have a primary muscle disorder like Muscular Dystrophy. Due to the clotting disorder, a liver disorder and a blood infection I have to spend 20 hours a week at my local hospital getting multiple types of IV therapy. I had an old laptop that I found at a Salvation Army 5 years ago and up until two nights ago that I used during that time to help the hours pass. However, it no longer works as my son accidentally put it in the toilet. He has this crazy infatuation with the toilet, yet is petrified of the bath tub, imagine that :) Anyways I hate to ask anyone for anything however with both my fiance'(he is a physics professor who is trying to get his bipolar disorder better controlled) and I (I used to work in the medical field and on an ambulance) being on disability it is almost impossible to go out to dinner once a month, let alone save for a wedding and now a laptop. I am not sure what this site can do for me, I hope at the very least I will make a few friends who understand what I am going through. I will leave it in the hands of the angels as to what type of help/support you feel you can best offer. I am hoping I can use this venue as a two way street, maybe I can provide support to someone else in need, even if its just kind words, encouragement, referrals, or information.

Hello. My name is Adam and I just came across this page and have read some of the posts on here. I have to say for the longest time, I thought I was alone on this single dad endeavor. Most single dads know my struggle so I will begin by saying that I love my little boys more than I can explain. I started off as a young man with a girlfriend and went on eventually to have a child with this woman. Her and I later decided to get married, only to have another little boy. I was raised by nothing but women so having two boys was more of a blessing than you know. My marriage eventually crumbled and as a result, both of my nice cars were reposessed, my house went into foreclosure, and all of my other debt(personal loans, utilities, etc.) built up against me and damaged my credit so profoundly that I could not get a car or an apartment anywhere. Luckily, by the grace of God, I was able to get accepted into a low income apt. complex in an area where crime, violence, and drugs are way more existent than what I would care for my boys to be around. At this point, I had been a single dad for about 7 years and I was just turning 28 years old. Since that very profound turning point in my life I have tried to go to college and get whatever grant money from school that I could get so my boys and I could survive while recieving no help from their mother but, no matter what I recieved, it was never enough. I have tried to work but could not find a job that was condusive to my single parent lifestyle due to no childcare. I take being a father very seriously because I am raising the future men of this country. I am no more of a perfect father than any other man but my intentions for them are. I give credit to any man that would break from the stereotype that has plagued us for centuries because of other non-existent fathers like my own. I am currently searching for a way to clean my credit and clear my debt so that I can create a prosperous future for my little boys that they may become the future example for other men. My boys are my life and for my life I will give what it takes to see them smile and one day see them hold their head high for the father they have. Whomever you are, thank you for taking the time to read the brief story of my struggle. Don't forget, "We are the men of the world that set the example for all other men".

I have accompanied people with mental disabilities in a residentail therapeutic community and also through community rehabilitaion services in the urban slums \rural areas of south India for over 30 years. I am a trained therapist \counselor also an artist\apainter.

I have founded a NGO for children with mental disabilities and presently working full time with over 100 children \families. www.awmd.org . As an Administrator\ Director \therapist \ Counselor I have gained alot of understanding and experiences , I have been previlaged to share my life with the people with disabilities and I have learnt a great deal from them.

Today I also long to serve senior citizens who are totally neglected in our fast growing society where family and values are breaking up. My dream is to provide a peacful atmosphere and a home for those homeless and abounded senior citizens, inorder to do that I would need funding to purchase a land \construction and a running cost. My hope is that there is someone out there who will come farward to help me reliaze my dream project.

Regards,

Mano

Hi, my name is Shelly.  I have tried to get my insurance co. to approve gastric bypass surgery for me and they will not do it.  I have diabetes, high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, asthma, sleep apnea, ocular hypertension and they will still not approve the surgery.  I weigh 390lbs and am 5'6".  I take medications for all my health problems and sleep with a c-pap machine.  I have been morbily obese for 17 years now and have tried every diet on this earth.  I may loose a little weight and then I end up gaining all of it back.  I have been a single mother for 16 years and because of my weight, I have lost out on a lot of special times with my son.  I can't walk very far or do any activity that requires a lot of energy.  I'm so sick of my self.  I don't feel I'm going to live very many more years if I don't get this weight off.  I have worked all my life and put my self through college after my divorce, and received a 2 year medical assistant degree.  Medical Assistant's do not make as much money as you would think they would.  I have struggled year after year to make things meet.  My son has had three surgerys on his legs at the Shriner's Hospital in St.Louis, thank God for them.  He is still having pain in his legs and ankles and he will probably need surgery again on his feet.  It has all been so very stressfull on him and me.  I get depressed about my weight and over eat and it just goes on in a never ending cycle.  I feel almost like I've wasted all my years in obesity.  I don't want to waste the rest of my life.  I pray some times that I will win the lotery so I could get my surgery and help other people too, this is just dreaming and wishful thinking though, it's not reality.  I'm not some one who will beg for money, but does anyone have any suggestions out there.  I'm loosing hope.

I'm a single mother of 3 I currently live in Boston but I'm trying to relocate to Georgia so my children can have a better life in a better enviornment.I am looking forward to the change but this move is very costly with my mother's help that this is only possible that this could happen.However I need a reliable vehicle to get to work & my children to and from school if there is any help available I will gladly accept it or any positive feedback or advice.

Hi, I'm 48 years old and a single mother of two teanagers and it is been very difficult for me to meet my ends.  My house is in foreclosure and i need to pay for two months the amount of $1300.00 in order for the bank to put me in a repayment plan.  I haven't pay my utilities for two months and if i don't have at least $500.00 by tomorrow, most probably they will be disconecting my electricity and water.  This is an act of faith that i'm doing, i believe that there must be somebody out there that will be moved by my situation. I have a job but i'm not making enough money to cover my expenses.  I believe in angels and i know that there will be somebody to help me and the rest of the other human being that are asking for help in this web page.  Thanks and God bless you!
