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.

Hey  !! My name is Crystal Coleman I am 20 yrs old and I have two twin boys that are Five months old and their names are Trevor & Leland . They are my Life. . To start off. Evey since I was little I was always in a family that did drugs and stayed in trouble I never knew my mom very well because she was in and out of jail, and I finally met my real dad when I turned 18YRS.I grew up with two brothers one is in jail now and has been in jail since he was 16. My little brother in in high school now and it is his senior year. When i was little i was sexual molested by my Uncle.. I felt that i could not tell anyone but when i did i told my Grandparents because they were the one we called mom and dad . When i told them they didnt belive me so the sent me off to live with my aunt here in Texas.. When i moved here i was treated like crap i had to go to school, cook dinner , wash dishes , wash clothes, clean my aunts room and rub her feet in the middle of a a school night . Her thought on school was that it came after what she wanted me to do for her! I belived in school first .. Anyways I finally ran away from her house at the age of 17 , from their i lived from house to house, and went to school. Thats when i met my husband , I fell in love i thought he was the real thing so we got married Oct 28, 2006 , but little did i know that when I said i do i would be put threw Physicaly and Emotional abuse. ( I got married at 18) I just put up with the abuse because i had no family to run to ... When i got married i was still in High School my husband didnt want me to go to school because he thought i would flirt with the boys , and he didnt want me to go on any school trips for all the same reasons.. Well thats when it all strarted the first time he just punched me in the face once and called me many names but I belived that he loved me so I didnt want to leave him.. But i did and when I had no were to turn to or no one to turn to I went back to him ... and the abuse got worse i had just had my gawbladder taken out when he decided to beat me the second time i was on the couch he decided that he wanted me to go to bed with him and i told him i was not ready for bed that i would be in the room in a min , well he didnt like that he followed me to the bath room and beat me in the shower , when he was beating me I went into an asthma attack and and refused to give me my medication. I left him that time for the second time. But as you might know already i went back because i felt in love and i felt that I couldn't live with out him. The third time he beat me he stopped in the middle of the high way and was yelling at me i told him to get out and let me drive because he was driving crazy because a EMS worker waved at me , when he got out of his little blue GMC truck i slidded over to the drivers side and as i was reaching for the door my husband grabed the door and slamed my head and arm in it many times and left me on the side of the road . This time i was determined i was not going back to him my aunt let me move in and while i was at school she also let him move in felt traped so i was with him again.. The Last time he beat me i was pregnate My friend was going to throw a graduation party for me because i had grauated well i was maken glasses for my party that said Senior Class Of 2007 and in the middle of maken a glass my husband asked me a question I didnt understand him so i asked him what he said and he started beating me, little did i know i was pregnant he held me in a conner and beat me and when i tryied to call the cops he took the phone and beat me more and the tore the house phone out of the wall and called his step mom and told her not to let me use the phone... I got out and when i did i went to the hospital and i found out i was pregnant 2 weeks later i was so excited but when i went to the hospital i found out that i was suspost to have triplets but when my husband beat me i lost a child. I was so upset with him, i couldnt figure out why he would beat me so much and just think everything was ok. I stayed away from my husband for 4 months and then i decided i was going to give him one more chance and this time it was not for me it was for the kids.. Well i didnt go threw physical abuse this time it was all emotional abuse this last time and i ended up having my babys earily because of all of stress and stuff he made me do , When i had the kids i thought it would change my kids lived in the hospital for 35 days after they were born i never got to touch my babys when they were born just a little while after they were in the hospital. They had so many cords on them because i had them 2 months earily. I went everyday to see my babys and my husband started getting jelious so i told him he better fix his act because if he didnt that the kids and i was leavin because we didnt have to put up with his crap. When the babys got out it was getting worse he didnt want me to have anything to do with my kids, and remember me telling you that my kids are my world well my kids gave me the strength to leave him for good , I went to a Family Abuse Center for a week now im living with a friend and i am getting a divorce. Every now and then I think mabey I should just go back because it might be easyier to just live with him because I have no car , no money and no house, but you know what  I refuse to go back to him when im breaking down and thinking about going back I listen to music . I Call this a Lesson Learned, and hold my two wonderful boys . Because it was a lesson Learned . I learned the hard way , but alway turn to god even when no one eles is their he is!! God knows what i went threw and he will take care of it at the end!!

"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.

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.

Rotting teeth & a big sack of pus

My name is Frederick Wirkus.
I am a 44 year old man, who is disabled. I am on ssi/ medicare/ medicaid, and tenncare.
None of those cover dental.
For the past year my teeth have been falling apart. I applied for "Donated Dental Services."
But they say it could be a year or more to even hear back.
I have tried everything I can think of.
My teeth have gotten so bad, that there is a large pus sack that  runs along the left upper side of my mouth.
My regular doctor has given me some antibiotics for a "Sinus" infection, since the sack runs all the way up the side of my nose.
The antibiotics have brought the sack size down so that it is only in my mouth. But I am afraid that when my prescription runs out, the pus sack will grow again.
I am in severe pain. The pain goes all the way up the side of my nose, to the bone under my left eye.
I have been getting severe headaches too. I have multiple teeth that are falling apart.
The pieces that are left are sharp, and cut my mouth when I sleep. There are teeth that are broke into the gums.
The doctor said that's why they're so infected.
He told me there is nothing else they can do there, since my tenncare won't pay for any dental.

I have called a bunch of dentists and told them of my problem.
They must think I'm lying or something, because they all say the same thing, "If you don't have Dental insurance, or Cash, we can't help you!"
I don't know what else to do. I don't have any money. The only money I get from social security, goes to paying my bills. I don't even get enough to be able to buy all my medicines anyway.
Is there anything you can do there?
If not, could you please pass this along to anyone you can think of, that might be able to?

I am sorry for taking so much of your time.
Thank you for whatever you can do!
I pray that someone really reads this.
I'm afraid that this will get lost, or no one will read it, or if they do, they won't care.
  Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Frederick Wirkus

Looking for Dental Resources

I am a divorced working 40 year old woman.  My job does not offer insurances of any kind.  For several years I have been trying to find some kind of assistance to help with dental care as I have decalcification which is turning into major caries and subsequent pain.

I work hard, but there just isn't enough money to go around after I pay my rent and child support.  And the social programs I've been in contact with have told me I am a family of 1 since my children live with my ex-husband but look at my gross income, not gross minus child support paid.  It just seems like a catch-22 to be a responsible parent.

If anyone knows of a dental school or program that is willing to help - basically all I need at this point is to have all of the teeth extracted (only 4 teeth are sound at this point) - I would appreciate any and all offers/suggestions.   Even if someone knows of a program that will do the work and accept token payments until it has been paid for.  I'm not looking for a hand out but the pain has got to end.

This is something I am not accustom into doing.  For I have always found a way to fix what ever issue I have in my Life.  But, it seems this one is a bit bigger than I am.  I am a domestic violence survivor, and I say Survivor due to the fact it was my Ex husbands intent to kill me but thanks to my persistance and dire need to want to live and have a good life I gained it after five years.   During this time I was diagnoised with a blood disorder called ITP, however, I am now in remission thankfully so.  But my situation .. albeit not important to some but very important to me... is one of dire need.   Due to all the beatings I obtained, and the medications of my blood disorder.. two things have occured.  One my teeth have nearly broken apart, to the point now I hardly have any upon my top and some on the bottom, I have consulted dentists and none will work with me due to my past credit history " due to my divorce it suffered immensily so", and it seems they wish to tell me about a drug called Meth.  I have tried to explain to them I have not nor am I currently or ever will try such a thing, and that all my scars on my arms face legs are from my ex husband, From cigerrette burns to knifes to just plain out beatings and what have you.  They said that I would have scars on the bottoms of my arms if such was true, .. well if your tied up and restrained, aint much you can do in ways of fighting now can you?.. . But due to these two things, I have been fired from jobs .. rediculed.. simply humiliated and I cant take it no more.  Please, if there is someone out there that can aid me, help me get my life back.. I would forever be grateful for the rest of my born days and there after.  Thank you

Hello,

I'm a single mother of 7 grown children, Life was a little hard but we always seemed to manage.

Then one day our lives crumbled into pieces, My son who was 24 years old was diagonsed with fourth advanced stage sinus and brain cancer. He only lived for 6 months after that.

The most heartwrenching feeling is loosing your child, our lives were never the same.

I started getting brain seizures, and this unexplainable sharp stabbing facial pain, high blood pressure and a tryroid problem.

Only to add to the stress, I refinanced my home, to realize later that I signed a paper that was a adjustable rate mortgage. I've been on a roller coaster my mortgage went from $1,200.00 to $2,200.00, I can't seem to get out of. My house was up for sheriff sale and I had to file bankrupcy and now I'm paying more than ever, I don't make that much money

I've been in my home for 25 years and raised all my children here. My home might need many repairs but its my home. All my memories are here.

I wish to be blessed by an angel, just to make the mortgage payment more affortable

Thank You

Heart Warming

I have never set up a page of this sort before , and to be quite honest I just recently found the aidpage website . I think it is a wonderful and supportive community . So why am I here ? Well , like many others I am in need of extensive dental work , procedures of course are unknown as I will not know what needs to be done until I am able to consult with a dentist . The problem there lies within the fact that I am barely able to make ends meet as it is . I do work , and I do understand that there is no such thing within all logic as a 'free ride' , nonetheless though ...there Is such a thing as caring , compassionate and helpfully generous people .

I hope that by being here that not only I , but others as well who are left with the depressive feeling of hopelessness that comes from not being able to afford a healthier and happier quality of life can find the assistance they so badly need . I am in constant pain due to the fact that the condition of my dental "health" is certainly declining and the longer I go on not being able to afford to do anything about it , the worse it will become . I do not qualify for Carecredit or any other kind of financing due to my credit ...though I would Love to be able to .

I am aprehensive about bringing the issue up to my mother who has co-signed for me before on things (cars) as she has plenty of things to worry about for herself being in poor health and on disability ...not to mention I am ashamed to tell her much about this situation in general . In fact , for all its worth , she doesn't know half of the situation , as it goes without saying that it is embarassing for me to smile in front of Anyone because I am ashamed of the appearance and visible decay of my teeth .

People fall on rough times , and the effects can be devastating , its hard to get back up when all you have done is fall down between that rock and hard place that unfortunately affects so many . However , just knowing that someone does care enough to help them speaks volumes as people with a heart are a rare find indeed .

Thank you for taking the time to read my page , I really do need help and if anyone can help me , then I will be far beyond appreciative and grateful .

Helping MySelf...Don't know where to go

     Divorced mother of 3 college students seeks Foundations to help them in the quest for knowledge.  I wishes to go to med school after he graduates with his BS (2007), and need to get a "back up" plan for his success.  The other two also over achievers are working as they attend yet still need a stable backing for assured continuenced.  All 3 have the knowledge, ambition and drive to succeed, they just need to right chance.   

     For myself I seek despartely needed dental work.  With my smile back I know I can survive and thrive on my own.   I haven't smiled in 7 years.  

                                                     GOD Bless

I am a disabled vietnam era veteran. About two years ago I suffered and saw first hand the obstacles that people and families in need go thru when they are struck with an unforeseen incident. The world can turn into a cruel and cold and lonely place. It seems that the only visitors that approach you are people that want to take their pound of flesh. All the collectors come to collect their debts and there is no way of holding them off. Sometimes families are forced to make harsh and rash decisions just in order to survive the tradegy.

I do not want anyone to feel the way that I did when I had my strokes. Dealing with the feeling of complete loss and disarry of your life only compounds itself on your situation. It harms both you and the family around you in so many ways. The emotional, physical and financial strain can become unbearable. Along with the illness and long sleepless nights you are also plagued with the ever approaching feeling of doom. THIS IS NOT THE WAY TO SURVIVE!!!

I was able to first hand experience this and to speak with others that have gone through these incidents also. There are a few basic needs that must be met in order to get through this crisis safely and remain in a stable environment.

Basic needs include but are certainly NOT limited to:

Food / Shelter / Medical Care

Knowing that someone cares and that there are people who can or want to help, makes a big difference in bridging the gap to becoming healthy and viable again.

What I have decided to do and wish to attempt to pass on to people are both the basic needs and the knowledge that there are others that care and sympathize with people in need.

I hope to help bridge the gap between the needs and the needy!

I am starting a non-profit organization to help veterans and their families cope with the difficult and rocky time between receiving either their benfits or their pension. I wish to exted this service also to the homeless in need.  

I need help to get this venture started. Any help from you would help out the cause greatly!!!  One of the things that we need too do is purchase wholesale/discount/surplus items to raise  funds for the cause.  
  We can't do this without you and there are people waiting to be helped. Please help us bridge the gap between the needed and needy.

I want to be an organization that ACTUALLY helps, not just a name that people are turned away from when they are in need.

 I am an uninsured, freelance graphic artist (and not currently working..), living in the Southern California area.

 I am single and I don't have children- what I do have is this unnatural fear of dentists. I think it's the drill..  I had a couple of root canals over 10 years ago on some back molars. I was (broke and chicken) unable to go back and have them crowned, and now the back of my mouth looks like I ate a firecracker.

 My back teeth are broken shards that have been host to multiple infections. I have been to the E.R. twice in the past two months, howling and crying in absolute agony. I have also visited the UCLA school of dentistry and was promptly rejected and given a referral to an oral surgeon.

 We are talking thousands of dollars. I can't even pay for the next round of antibiotics.

 A friend told me she knew there were private grants available for situations like mine. I was hoping somebody could point me in the right direction. 

  Thanks in advance-

I am a 30 year old mother of 3 that is in desperate need of help with my teeth. They hurt all the time and they break from eating even soft foods. I only have one side I can chew on and that side only has top teeth left in the back. Cold food hurts, hot foods hurt, I have to brush my teeth with warm water and can't chew anything hard anymore. I haven't been able to smile without covering my mouth in years now and I am not able to pay for everything I need done to get myself out of pain. I went to my dentist yesterday (which is the cheapest I can find around) and it will cost me 3900.00 to do all the work that I need. I need 5 more extractions, a root canal, a crown on one of my front teeth, a partial denture on top and another on bottom. I have already called around trying to find a dentist with payment plan options and can't find one. I have tried twice and can't get on medicaid. I can send pictures of my teeth as proof of how bad they are, I can even make payments monthly...I just don't have any credit. My teeth have already gotten twice as bad as they were 13 months ago so I know if I can't get them fixed sometime in the near future I will have to get them all pulled (which I also can not afford). If there is anyone that could help me I would appreciate it so much!
