ASSISTANCE


You are NOT alone!

There are MANY people here who can help you.


Lady Christie,

Soulight
,

Elaine,

Ekikaseven,


and myself are just a few. We have taken the time to compile a TON of resources to help others.

We have all been in the same shoes at one time or another - some of us still are. By working together and helping eachother, we can make it through.

We will try to address your posts individually, if we can. However, due to the enormity of the site, the numerous requests, and the vast number of resources available - not to mention the scammers who post - it can be difficult at times. Please be patient. Please check previous posts and pre-existing pages for information.

We are not perfect, we make mistakes. We have bad days - just like you. We have bills to pay, familes to care for, illnesses to deal with, and other burdens just like you. BUT just like you, we have a desire to make our lives, and the lives of those we meet, better in some small way. We may send a prayer, a cyber hug, information, links, advice, or even maybe some construcive criticism, if necessary. We do what we do, because we need to, in our own way. If we are lucky, we get to see people move on because they have found the help they needed and do not need to be here anymore.

The creators of AIDPAGE have given us, all of us, a great opportunity to reach out and help one another. Please, make the most of your time here: to share, to hope, to dream of a better life; then go out and make it happen!
Please tell me about broken links and ANY other errors on my pages! Thank you!

(updated May 12, 2008)

I have been away from Aidpage, but not completely out of the picture. What I have I been up to?

I had been making many attempts to still get the word out about what I am doing, but I had not been received well at a couple places:

  • Myspace kicked me off four times. The fourth time, I managed to keep the page running for a few months, and I logged in only to discover that I was removed once again. I am not sure what their reasoning was. It was a description of how I was helping others. I had helped many families through that page so it was very disappointing, and I lost track of people in line to receive help.
  • I posted a page on Squidoo.com. and that page, too was removed after receiving a lot of criticism from members there. I wasnt asking for money; only describing how I was helping others. Apparently I seemed a little too good to be true or people just didnt believe me.

I HAVE been accepted with open arms at WishUponAHero.com. I am very active there under the name 'The Empty Hanger' Here is how I have helped and currently help others. To date, I have granted over 20 wishes, and more that is not tallied on the site.

  • Sending cards for birthdays, encouragement, friendship, sympathy. That just costs a stamp!
  • Offering advice on situations
  • Sending books (via media mail)
  • Sending spiritual literature (I returned to church in January accepting Jesus into my life)
  • Sending small packages of clothes
  • Sending coupons
  • Sending school supplies
  • Sending my old eyeglass frames to woman who cannot afford new ones. (current)
  • Workiing on a HUGE giveaway starting May 1st for WUAH. (shipping covered by anonymous donor)

OTHER CHANGES

  • 'The Empty Hanger' has been scaled back to a local operation. It was a difficult decision. Aside from what I do above, I still manage to provide packages of good usable clothing to persons in need. I find them at the local food pantry mostly, and word of mouth. Someone will email me at projectemptyhanger@mail2me.com, and we arrange a mutual public meeting place for the person's safety and mine. Its worked out pretty well, and I bypass shipping costs altogether. I do ask a lot of questions beforhand, because my genorisity has been taken advantage of on several occasions, and it is how I screen people. I find that those that are evasive are not being honest with me.
  • I am considering turning over 'The Empty Hanger' as an outreach project at my church.

ADVOCACY

  • Alzheimer's Awareness My dad passed away from the disease January 21st, 2008. He was diagnosed in 2003, and we watched this independant and strong man fight for a long time until we had to place him in a nursing home in 2006. It wiped us out financially and emotionally. I've currently been put into a position to help my mom who lost his pension (because she was not married to him when he retired). I use his likeness in many ways to help educate others about Alzheimer's. I am beginning an initiative for leglislation so that no other families should be forced into poverty for making the decision to place a totall dependant loved one into long-term care. You can view a video I made by visiting the following link: Alzheimer's Video
  • NEW! I also have changed my dad's tribute page to one of an Alzheimer's Awareness subject matter. It is called: Alzheimer's: Know More. I have also created tshirts and other merchandice to raise funds to donate to my local Alzheimer's association.
  • Go to the tribute page.

If your family is affected by this disease and need some advice or just to talk, please email me at projectemptyhanger@mail2me.com, and put 'Alzheimers' in the subject line.

Thanks

Elaine, for all your help and support to 'The Empty Hanger'

I'm having a rummage sale! (Updated May 12th)

Locally, my mobile home community is having a rummage sale at the beginning of June. I am hoping to raise enough money on my own so that I can use some of the proceeds to send out a few more packages. My family has been busily cleaning out the house and garage, and wow the treasures that we accumulate in a year.

If you live in the Northwest Indiana area, and are interested in learning more about my community's rummage sale, please don't hesistate to ask. I will be offering discounts to my local friends at Wish Upon A Hero, and I am offering the same here on Aidpages. For details, please ask.

more about me?  I have been in school for the last 10 years.  When your a single mom it's impossible to work full time and be a mom (well, a good one anyway).  We were getting by and doing well until last April, when I was hit by a drunk driver.  I won't get into the details of my injuries, but there are several.  At the beginning of the fall semester I went full time (internet courses) and did really well .  We were able to get by on savings and I got the Pell, loans, and Food Stamps....but the savings is gone.  It is vital to my family that I complete my degree.  Companies say that they comply with the disability act, but the reality is that if two people that are equally qualified apply for the same position and one of the applicants suffers from a disability...the odds aren't in their favor.  I need to be a major asset to my future employer and the only way to do that is to complete my education.

After having lived in Europe for 31 years, 10 in Milan, Italy & 21 in Heppenheim, Germany, I returned to the U.S at the end of 2004. I have a M.S. in mathematics from the university of Illinois. Professionally I've been a systems software developer for 42 years. Having difficulty finding a job -- from my point of view, because most of my experience has been on IBM mainframes, making me somewhat of a dinosaur -- & from the market's point of view because I'm  euphemistically "overqualified," I would like to go to an online university to get a degree in accounting, most likely aqn MBA, but since my total income is the pittance I receive as SSDI, "Yes, Virginia, I'm disabled," I'm not able to afford the rather hefty tuition from most of these places & I'm loathe to encumber myself with a student loan, because there being no guarantees, I might not find a job post-degree, but I'd still have to repay the loan from the aforementioned pittance which barely keeps pace with inflation. So, I'd like to find a scholarship, a fellowship or some kind of grant to allow me to attend an online university. In the meantime, I've found a great job developing mainframe system software for Compuware in Cambridge, MA, starting 7/17/06. I'll be leaving here in FL to drive there on 7/9/06. I'll be back to update my info once I'm settled.

Greetings,

Wow! It's been awhile since I have been here. The site looks great! I like the new format. I will have to get re-acquainted with it.

So I have not been here for about a year. Time flys when there is lot's going on in one's life. Still dealing with my health. Last couple of month's it has been my teeth.

Dentures are a-comin soon. And today I just found another part of the tooth that was pulled comming up through the gum. I have ask God to heal me. And I say my "Thank You God for my healing". every day. So hey, it may be getting my third set of teeth. Now, that would be a hoot!

So, I made it back to San Deigo, CA. I love that place. I started to help my friends out there with house sitting. So I am now know as "The Gyspy House Attendant". It is the perfect job for me with all my disabilities.

Another thing I have been researching is the type of vehicle that would sote my needs, both everyday and the disabilities. I am now looking for the old JEEP GRAND WAGONEERS! It is low to the ground so I can get in and out of it and I can put the back seat down when I need to rest. Plus I can haul my little "Gypsy Vardo Wagon" behind it. So that is my next vehicle. Keep a look out and let me know if there is one in your neck of the woods.

Speaking of woods, I am back in Pennsylvania. My 88yr old Aunt called me to come back and help her out. She is having some major health issues herself. So I am back in the mountains of the Appalachians. It is nice now because of the Spring. However, those damp cool nights are killing my back and joints.

So I am back and will promise to check in at least once a week.

Blessing to you all and may all your dreams come true.

LABikermamma.

UPDATE MAY 2007

Ok, well that little toyota truck I got has some major problems. So I cleaned it up and have it up for sale for $835. No sooner did I put the ad in the paper an old mechanic friend found a working truck that I can get in June. See how GOD works Miracles. You have to let go of all your negitive energies.

In the meantime, I am doing little house projects for my 87yr old aunt. I did the trim in the bathroom and I want to paint my room. I put some tomato plants in the garden. So once I leave to go back west, everything will be done for her.

I guess I am on a spring cleaning kick. Not only for my life but my spiritual life as well.
It feels pretty good to let go of all your own shit.

My new saying is: "Life is Good!".

*****
Update: April 11, 2007.
Ok I am over the tools being stolen.  Now working on getting the truck fixed. Getting the AD space sold on the truck and I am out of PA for good. They do every thing backwards here and I am finding out about "legalized extortion" when it comes to trying to registrar the title of a truck. What a racket.  I know enough bitching but I got to tell you whenever you are trying to move forward and you have everyone blocking you, instead of giving you a hand up...get's depressing. And more snow.....ugly. So AD Space anyone?


Thanks.

Update: 04/10/2007.
well so much for thinking positive! I just got robbed of all my tools to fix up the truck.
so now I have a truck with no tools.  At least I did not get my house ransacked like my neighbor did. They got the worst of it.  So there goes 8k out the window.
I just need the Universe and God to give me a leg up everyonce in awhile instead of chopping me off at the knees.

Update: 04/08/2007.

Just want to wish every one miracles for this blessed day of giving thanks.
May all your dreams come true. My dream is for a truck to make it back
home to san diego,ca from PA.( I got the truck april 2007). Thank you.

on the sides of my truck. Websites/800# etc. I will be traveling 2185 miles from PA to San Diego, CA at the end of June 2007. I will charge a buck a mile..That is a dollar a mile.
It will be all Freeway/Highway driving. Stops at Truck Stops and Casinos. I will leave the ad on the truck for one month and I will even email you a picture. Cheapest BillBoard Advertisement there is! What do you think of that idea?

I am 37 years old. I was in the auto business before I was disabled. I love to hunt and fish. Can't do as much as I could in the past. I have practiced the art of taxidermy for over 20 years. I have won awards in that fiels. Since becoming disabled I have been doing taxidermy again. Slowly to say the least. It keeps me a little buisy and distracts me form the pain I am in daily.

I pledge 100% of everything for advice

I will pledge 100% of what I have to give, regardless of pledges, to whomever can use it but since this is a pledge I think I have to handle it this way. I have to pledge the following - toys (dollar store toys but have been loved and cared for), clothing in sizes 3/4 little girls and several sizes large boys (again, not fancy or expensive brands but clean and warm) and time to volunteer to send letters, cards etc. to people who would enjoy them for the holiday. I also pledge my friendship, prayers and a listening ear to whoever is in need of it. What I ask you to pledge is this......Advice. If you have no advice to pledge, please pledge the same to someone else who needs it. Your friendship, prayers, kind words of encouragement and support can mean more than any material things to someone in need.

My name is Tina. I have two children Macy age six (seven in another week) and Jared age fifteen. I have recently been forced from my job to stay at home and care for my daughter which has cerebral palsy. This was sudden and unexpected and has put me in a hardship for the holidays. It has also put me in a severe hardship with my home and bills. I desperatly need to find legitimate work from home in time to take care of christmas for my children. I have already been scammed once with assembling at home work and can't seem to find anything that is truly legitimate. I am at the end of my rope and heading for a breakdown.

I am not some lazy person who has sat back and waited for a job to come to me. I have searched since the day I was forced to leave my job of three years but it seems that everything that I find either requires some huge investment or is a scam. I am a payment away from losing my home if I do not find something soon. Not to mention christmas coming up and I am barely hanging on to my utilities. I have no money for christmas so I certainly can't afford a big investment into something. I just really need some advice on legitamate work at home opps. I don't expect to find something that requires no investment as much as I wish but looking to find something with very little investment if possible. When I say little, I honestly mean very little money. I mean something that would cost less than a water bill because I would be taking my water bill funds to invest in hopes of earning it back before they cut me off.

I am simply in desperate need to find some kind of work in time to buy my kids christmas presents and items for the holidays. I am a hard worker, reliable and determined so I will work to my fullest potential. I just need something I can trust and make a living to avoid me losing our home. Also, I do not mean to sound greedy or selfish in asking about the following because I know my problems fail in comparison to many but I have really just hit rock bottom all at once it seems and don't know what to do. I seen something on the site regarding grants for home repairs and can't seem to find it anymore. I am in desperate need of het in my home and flooring (carpet, linolium anything that will insulate the house so it is not so cold). We got this house when I was still able to work (we needed a place badly) and had intended on fixing it up but with my sitution, I am not going to be able to do anything anytime soon and with winter coming, we are going to be in trouble with no heat. When we got our home, it had only plywood on the living room and kitchen floors where it had been water damaged and had not been fixed. I have looked for remnants of carpet or linolium to put down until I was able to afford to fix it but have had no luck. I can use stack heaters but will likely not be able to afford the utility bill they will run up.

I beleive the grant was government and the way I feel is, I have paid taxes and although a simple thank you from the good ole GOV would have been nice lol.....am desperatly in need of repair to get heat. If anyone can give me some advice or knows anything about these grants please let me know. I am praying it is not a long process because it is getting cold here the last few days.

Now for my pledge....I pledge any of the things I have to give above for any advice I can get on the things mentioned above. If you need any of these, contact me and it's yours. I can't afford to ship anything but the cards and maybe a lite something but I will help you find a way to get it shipped. God knows I would cover it if I could but I am living by borrowing from my utilities now and that doesn't leave much. Please just let me know if you need any of it and we will find a way. I just really appreciate any input. Thank U

I appreciate this site, everyone involved with it and everything it represents. God bless every one of you and have a blessed holiday

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 live in Daleville, AL, home to Ft. Rucker Aviation  -- helicopter headquarters of the Army. Single, but in a fabulous relationship; 48 yrs. old, but I look pretty darn good for an old lady; mom to 2 boys who are adults (kinda); own a greyhound named Murphy who was adopted from Ebro Race Track, Florida; live in a very very hot state where the corn crop has literally burned before our eyes.  I have a 89 Chevy Cavalier Z24 that is sitting in my driveway and needs a starter (it's really a cool car).  I was born in Germany and I am a US citizen.  I sang in a collegiate choir for 7 years with little 18, 19 and 20 yr. old babies and even got asked out on a date by one of them (I didn't go -- married at the time, plus my oldest son would have had a stroke).  My eyebrows are tatooed on.  I got it done in 1999 after years of penciling them on like a 40's movie star or a hooker.  My kids were horrified if I took them to school without them on. I taught junior high drama for 7 years at a Catholic school (what a trip -- I'm still recovering).  I have been a Boy Scout leader for over 12 years (I did give it up last year after my son got his Eagle Scout badge).  I met Robert Beltran (First Officer Chakotay) from Star Trek Voyager and John deLancie who played Q in Star Trek Next Generation at separate Sci-Fi conventions in Cleveland. I am dying of kidney disease. I was waiting for a kidney, and now I have one. My sister will donate on September 19, 2006 at University of Alabama at Birmingham Transplant Center.

I will need some help paying for things that the insurance won't cover. Every little bit helps and I will also pledge to help my friend Shirley at the dialysis clinic with some of her bills, too. She has absolutely no support network.

I am a 61 year old woman who loves animals and have 8 horses, 7 goats, 6 ducks, 20 cats, and 12 dogs.  This county does not have a humane society so i try to take in as many animals as i can since people are always throwing them out on the road.  The horses are the love of my life, always dreamed of having horses and was doing good with them until I came down with Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever back in 2001.  Went undiagnosed for over a year, which caused heart damage and now i suffer with heart failure.

I get a small disability check with a mortgage payment of $905.00 a month, we are 3 months behind because of death in family, losing job.  They are going to foreclose on our home July 17th, and sale it at public auction Aug. 1,  if  we have to move i will have to sale horses, which means they may go to slaughter because they are just horses not registered, some of the dogs and cats i can not catch as they only come up to eat.

We need $6023.00 to stop the foreclosure plus back taxes. 

I have never, in my life asked for help, but now i am worried about my animals and want to save them from any harm.  Please help us to do this.  Thank you very much for any help. 

Disabled Single Mom needs help for school

Hi..if anyone out there has any thoughts on how I can get some help to pay for living expenses while in school please HELP!!! I am receiving Pell and loans, but it's not enough to even come close to live on. I am a 28 year old single Mom  with a 5 year old son.  In April, I was hit by a drunk driver and hurt very badly.  Although, I am recovering, I have a lot of limitations and can't work.  Finishing my education has become more crucial for us then ever before.  Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Homemaker Mommy Work at home
Jacksboro, Tennessee, USA

My name is Tina. I am a mommy to Macy six years old and Jared fifteen years old. I am a new stay at home, work from home Mom. I enjoy movies, music, reading, relaxing and most of all spending time with my kids. My little girl has cerebral palsy so I also enjoy working with charities that benefit children like her. The Shriner's have been a blessing to all of us. There work is really close to my heart. I no longer have a lot of time to do anything hands on with any orgs but when I can, I try to help with causes such as these.

I am so pleased to have found a group such as this and appreciate you taking the time to read and get to know more about me. I sincerely appreciate all who take the time to try and help others. I have had some very discouraging and even devestating times in my life and found it very difficult to find the support that I needed. We have lost our home and all our possesions to a fire a few years back. We have had many heartwrenching health problems with my little girl and have been drowned with tragedy after tragedy. During these times, I have needed so much support and I mean emotionally, financially and in my daughter's case physically and have had nowhere to turn.

From what I am understanding only the few moments on this site, this is a place to not only meet people who have been in similar situations, receive advice and resources to find the support you need but to build friendships and have emotional support with people who truly care. This means more to many of us than you can imagine. Being limited to the house more than normal for me has been hard. During this time I have not had one friend to interact with that understands my situation and I can honestly say that it has been the lonliest and most desperate point in my life. There has been more tears than happiness in my life and I have had noone with which to talk to. When you are in this situation, a simple act of listening and sharing words of encouragement mean so much. I am so glad to see that there are still people who care for others out there.

I am ready to meet anyone needing a friend to talk to or to share your problems with. If you ever need someone who understands and does not judge, please contact me. I don't have much in the way to help but I do have a good heart and a willing ear lol 

Thanks to everyone who is involved with this site. I know it may not seem like it sometimes but you are making a big difference in the lives of others. Please let me know how I can help. 

 

I also desperatly need some advice on finding some resources. I ended up having to leave my job of three years to stay home and care for my daughter. She was getting injured at school and it was so bad and often that I just couldn't take it anymore and decided to homeschool her. Our school system is ridiculous here and isn't very helpful to kids with physical limitations. It has been blamed on funding. Anyway, with me suddenly out of work and holidays coming, I am desperatly in need of ligitemate home employment. I need something that I will be able to make money before the holidays or christmas is not going to be very bright for my kids. I was just scammed out of what little monies I had left with the assemble at home scam so please none of those. I am not a lazy bum that is just sitting back expecting a job to come to me. I have honestly been searching since the day I was forced to my home. I am a very hard worker, am reliable and will do anything that is moral and legal lol I am at my wits end. I feel like I am heading for a breakdown and need any advice on this I can get.

I have come to the realization that you have to be very careful what you invest in when it comes to the work at home business. I need something real and as bad as it sounds, I need something with almost no financial investment. I am not expecting to be able to find something with no investment as bad as I wish but I mean I have nothing to spare. My investment would be my water bill funds but I'm hoping to find something to make it back. I am being totally honest when I say, I am living on faith at the moment. I am one payment away from losing my home if I do not find something by the new year. My home of course is more important and I know this might sound bad but I'm sure you can understand that I am more concerned with christmas, because it is just around the corner. I still have enough time to work on the house.

If anyone has any knowledge of work at home opps or has any advice that may help contact me as soon as possible. I am at the end of my rope here. Please say a prayer for us 

 Happy holidays  Thank U
