Hiya all.

 

Well, how do I introduce myself?

First of, I'm nobody and everyone...meaning I do not have a familiare name or face, but I have lived for a few years now, and during I have battled most fancy twitches and turns life has to offer.
On the basis of that, I like to think of myself as one that might lend advices and support to others fighting the same battles I have fought (and won)!

Most important to remember for all, no matter what the struggle is about; there's almost always a solution out there.

Looking forward to getting to know new folks...  ;o)

"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 need help to get on my feet after a slip and fall on job of 8 years, I was discharged and told my job was being eliminated. I received unemployment for 13 weeks wth no extensions. I'm 48 years old, in poor health and unable to find work. Fighting a workman comp case and have no income coming in. I DON'T QUALIFY FOR ANY type of social service help. I am facing having car repossed and being evicted, if I don't get some help. I have used all my retirement account money and don't know what else to do.  I have no family or friends in a position to help me out with money, food or housing,if things get any worst. Any amount of money will help me with medical treatments, transportation and housing. I only have 4 more payments left on car 2400.00 and it is in need of repair. I can qualify for unemployment again on April 16, 2008. If I can get some financial help until them, I believe i will make it until the comp case is settled and I  can apply for disability.

Thanks for hearing my story and for any help.

I want to know are their scholarships and grants for people who have family members to

alcoholis and cancer. I am finishing my master in education and looking for grant to pay for my

PHD in Counseling and transportantion.

 

Last year I was hit by several tragedies and I am still in disbelief. March Seventeen of     “06” I broke my

ankle and I was in the emergency room for three hours a doctor walking by saw my leg he got x-rays.

The first week spent in hospital with my leg wrapped because of the swelling they couldn't do any

surgeries. Second week I had the surgery. After I was well enough to go home my dad me a wheel chair

and walker. At, the time my dad was sick going in and out of hospital it was an everyday thing. Then my

dad ended up in the hospital. I was at home and the phone ring and picked it up it was hospice which I

had no idea what hospice was for. Then told my dad was dying and he would put on hospice in the

house. I was called to meet with the doctor and my sister. The doctor told us my dad had two weeks to

live and he had liver cancer and any cancer treatment would instantly kill him. Since I had huge casts in

bed everyday while dad was slowly die across the hall.  May Ninth of last year, I came back home from

my second surgery to find my mom crying over dad his was slowly shutting down with his last tears we

prayed and on the same day at 8pm he passed. Now my mom takes care of me and my disabled

sister.But I have my education and I want to continue it my dad was my inpsiration and he still but my

mom has join my team. My education has become my number one priority it has kept me together and it

has become theraphy for all the pain and saddness is still there but I have future to look forward to. My

dad would have been proud.

Hello everyone, I will try my best to explain mine and my familys situation and maybe someone somehow will be able to help us in a true time of need. my husband was disabled with a rare disease in 1999 called syringomyelia (a cyst that grows inside his cervical spinal cord) My 13 year daughter was diagnosed with two different conditions when she was 13 and is now 16 years old. She is having to take florida virtual schooling because of her health conditions, I feel so sad for her because of all her High School memories that she will be missing out on, some good, some bad, but at least they would be her memories. Her (1 condition) is called the conversion disorder and her (2 condition) is nuero cardio sincapeid. We have become very far behind on all our bills, rent, utilities etc. while trying to pay for my husband and my daughters medicines. I will admit part of me is scared at this point in all of our lives but yet I pray every night that the Good Lord will open a door for us. this website i dont know maybe maybe not, but here i go any help out there or any donations that can be spared at this time, will be so deeply and truely appreciated and a blessing of mircales at this time in our lives. Thanks B.

I'm in pain physically and emotionally while I'm typing this so I'm hoping what I have to say comes out right. I'm going through a tremendous amount of issues right now and I really need some help but have the most trouble finding somewhere to turn. I have a rare pain syndrome that is not commonly heard of. It's called vulvodynia. It causes me excruciating  & debilitating pain. At one time I experienced it almost every second of every day for the last several years. There's no cure or even any sure way of knowing the exact cause....it makes you miserable and unsure of ur life from day to day. I also suffer from depression.

 The vulvodynia pain, I guess u could say is comparable to nerve damage pain (which is in fact what it seems to be in my case). I don't know if I'll ever be free of this situation again but for the time being the only thing most recently that has been helping me to function enough and not suffer this every single day as before is the Cymbalta medicine I've been taking. I also believe in holistic methods but nothing else so far helped relieve the extreme pain and I have a young child to care for. I have tried many many medications & have been & felt like somewhat of a guinea pig. This situation started for me around the age of 19 and I am now in my 30's (Off and on during that period of time). I cannot work because of these disabling situations and I receive SS disability once a month.

 I tried to fill my prescription for my medication and for reasons beyond my control (some error of some sort), my insurance that covers it was off and will take at least a month to be corrected. My medicine costs $163 that I don't have. Making matters worse, I am in a period in which the pain is at it's worse (which happens sometimes) and this is the worse time for me to be without my medicine. I can't find anyplace to get it free or get samples. I NEED HELP.

 I am behind in my rent $227. I have bills I am behind in that is $191. My glasses are old and broken (I'm very nearsighted and the type of glasses I get cost me $350-$400), My child's birthday is here, I have no money to give him anything right now and that in and of it self is so hard (he's a great kid and I love him dearly)and I have little money for the basics of food (which has just been getting more and more expensive). My medicaid was cut a long time ago because they sent the recert to the wrong address, I've tried to apply since then and all I get is the run around. Food stamps is the same thing. I'm just TIRED and I neeed HELP PLEASE SOMEBODY. If u hear me and u can, please help. I am humble and appreciative. Thank You

Hi my name is Dejuan Garner and I am in my last year at Purdue University.  My problem is that I don't have the monies to continue..I have been attending this semester on faith alone but the time is running out this week.  I have registered for classes but have been dropped.  My Teachers have been pretty patient trying to work with me but The school wants the money now.  I have had my share of problems during my stay here and I just want to finally graduate and get out of here.  If I don't get the money for tuition I feel that I will be stuck being a bum.  I have a record that wont be cleared for another year or so...If I don't come up with the money the school has put a hold on all my grades so it's as if I never went to school.  I done some dumb things in my life but I don't want to be a nothing.  If I can finish my education I can make a difference somewhere.  I need to start paying back my student loans..Please someone pray about helping me..I don't want any money in my hand just if you could help with the tuition or even just co-sign the loan...It would be greatly appreciated.  I am desperate and don't have any where else to turn.   pray for me 

Dont want to be another Brother w/o a future

hi i'm a single mom with a teenager. cannot work. do not get child support  regularly because the child's father lies about his work. so he now is thousands of dollars behind.  it  does not do any good to go to court because he just gets a slap on the wrist.  now my mortgage and uilities are behind. can't file bankrupt again because i had to do that when i was diagnoised with cancer in 2003. now i'm not suppose to become behind in my mortgage or fha could take our home. i've tried these so called cash advances but it just causes more problems. however i know that there are alot more people out there worse off than me. therefore tonight i'll say a extra pray.

Help mother of 3 fight cancer
Here since: Apr 7, 2008

                   I am writing to you in hopes that some how this story will get the attention it needs to help a family who is desperately in need of help fast & who is literally dying. My cousin and her husband have been battling cancer for 2 yrs now. Their story is full of heartache, struggle, and unique courage and strength. Allison Hoskins my cousin & Jeff were high school sweethearts. They married and have 3 beautiful children Preston, Parker, & Bailey. In the summer of 2006 Jeff was diagnosed with Leukemia. He was able to beat it and went into remission in January 2007. This family fought this battle hard. The incredible thing was the unique optimism, hope & strength they had. It was amazing.Then in June 2007 Allison was diagnosed with stage 4 Hodgkin's Lymphoma. She endured 6 months of Chemotherapy and went into remission January 2008. Unbelievably, they continued to be strong & Optimistic. Even when Allison was extremely sick she always had a smile for you and never once complained. We were all ecstatic and considered are prayers answered.  Now comes the biggest blow of all. When Allison went for her 3 month check up last month they told her some devastating news. Her cancer was back and this time it had spread to 3 of her precious organs. It is in her kidneys, lungs & liver. She just turned 30 in February and she & Jeff had such big plans to get start living life to its fullest again.This family is so unbelievably kind, generous, & full of hope. WHY THEM!!! We all keep asking. Allison just gave life to another family in 2006 by being a surrogate mother and now cancer wants to take her away from us. This is when the financial issue comes in. Right now Allison can only receive one treatment of Chemo here in Wichita. Her insurance will only pay for her go to the Mayo Clinic. She went there last week for here first consultation but can't receive treatment until her insurance approves it. How crazy in the world we live in today that you can be told your dying quickly and we may be able to help but you will have wait a month to get help because of your insurance. This infuriates me to no end. I can not stand by and watch her surcome to this vicious disease and do nothing. We don't only need financial help we need prayers. Because of the type of cancer she has and it returning so quickly. Her only chance for survival is a bone marrow transplant.  Insurance may not cover this. The cost for the procedure is anywhere between $200,000-250,000. She will have to be at the Mayo clinic in Minnesota for 3 Months. Unable to see her children, husband, family, or friends that have helped her overcome this battle before. Jeff can only take 2 weeks of work. They don't have much money and really need help NOW!!!!They are residents and graduates of Goddard.  Jeff works at Sam’s club and the children attend Goddard schools. My hope from this email is to make the people aware of their story and hopefully raise enough money & prayers to help this family survive & beat cancer once again. I hope there is a doctor somewhere who may have another suggestion or option for Allison and here family. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE I beg you from the bottom of my heart to bring some attention to their story and help this struggling beautiful family get some help.Jeff needs his wife. Preston, Parker, & Bayley need their mom. My aunt needs her only daughter. As for the rest of her family and friends we need Allison. Her smiling face and positive attitude is so infectious. She can't be taken from this world so soon. God forbid that she is, her family needs to be taken care of. If Jeff's Leukemia were to come back what would these children do???? We need your help and we need it fast. We don't have much time as this cancer is rapidly spreading throughout Allison body.There is a website that has been set up to tell their story, update us on her condition, and has place for donations. It is www.hope4thehoskins@blogspot.com. Please go their and read their story and see their pictures. If everyone in Wichita and the surrounding areas could donate a dollar we could start here treatment immediately!Any response would greatly appreciated!Sincerely- Michelle Schutz316-616-4250316-733-7749Michelleschutz@msn.com

DR's have been throwing pain meds at me since there is nothing else they can do to correct my back injury. I felt like they were interferring with my quality of life & have been looking for alternative treatments. I have found one that is working, which includes bi-weekly spinal injections (it is not cortisol or cortisone or whatever it is everyone asks when they first hear that I am getting injections). They are not without there own side effects.Anyway, I started getting those in Dec & had a short 6 day stint in the hospital in Jan with a 4 day at home recovery time. I used all of my vacation time at work, but felt it was all worth the trouble to get myself off of the meds. So I have a DR I love, who is weening me off of the pain meds & every other Tuesday I left work 2 hours early to get my injections. I thought everything was going great & wonderful progress being made. Wednesday the 6th of February I was at work & around lunch time I started vomiting. The treatment the day before had been more agressive than usual & I'm unsure if it was that or the flu or the reduction in my pain meds or possibly all three, but my office manager told me to go home & not come to work so sick. I called in the following day to notify them that I was still vomiting & the VP of the company told me we needed to part ways & that it was too hard to cover my shift. Part of my work has since been deligated to other employees & the computer end outsourced, so they are not hiring a replacement for me. On my pain meds I get a promotion & raises & now I'm fired.

It was my dream to buy a house for myself & my 3 children. I think it is exaserbated since I do not have a family & have never had a "home" to go too. I now wake up everyday thinking I am going to lose my house & I am trying everything in my power to keep it. I still haven't found a job even though there are prospects, my utilities are getting shut off this week but all I can think is keep the house & the phone & I can fix everything else later when I get a job. I have been making payments monthly to one DR who is now suing me because I cannot pay him right now. I applied for emergency enegry assistance but they said I made too much money in January $960.

I can hardly get out of bed everyday. I'm terrifingly depressed & have thoughts that I simply do not have. I'm a bawling exhausted mess. If I cannot pay for cobra insurance by next week, the DR that I think is so great, can no longer see me for my spinal injections or to continue to ween me off of my pain meds. We already know what withdrawal does  & this situation alone has me so anxious & upset that I'm already a shaky, emotional loon. I'm out of contact lenses & have to get an eye exam to get new ones & I cannot see two feet infront of my face which adds to my stress & insecurity.

I'm selling my paintings & am trying to get them posted online once I find someone with a digital camera. I also have a KEM Weber Springer chair that needs to be reapholstered. One that had been redone sold at Sotherbys for 5k. The chrome & everything important on that chair is in great shape & the cushions are fine, the fabric is just worn. I got it for next to nothing years ago & I hate to part with it but desprate times... 

I've lived on my own since I was 14 & I have always been proud of my ability to take care of myself & of others & asking for help is bordering on humiliating, I just don't want to lose everything before I have the chance to get back on my feet.

I have my resume up everywhere & have 2 interviews lined up & 17 applications out there but if I end up with no phone all of that will go out the window I am afraid. Also, I am willing to create new paintings & sell ones I have already completed. If I cannot get my spinal injections the pain will leave me unable to walk & if I have to stop weening off of my pain meds & end up coming off cold turkey I will be worthless and this could all put me behind to the point my family & I end up in a shelter. I have applied for emergency food stamps so we are ok in the food deptartment.

I know if I can make it until I get a job, it woun't be long until I can help others. My name is Sonja & thank you for taking to time to read this.
