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)

Whether its search and rescue operatins, Community Emergency Response Team training, emergency communications or just about anything in between, we are dedicated to making it happen. We have created a new site called Donate 5 For Disasters, that we are using to help us raise the much needed funds that we use to continue our efforts and help others.

As the site name implies, we are just asking for donations of $5. More would be great, less is accepted, but the more the better we can help. We are a registered 501(c)3 non-profit corporation and 100% of all donations received are tax deductible.

We are currently working on the site right now, but you can still visit it and make a donation. Either click on the Click and Pledge link on the right side or use the Google Checkout button located on the bottom of the page.

Bless The Beasts and The Children

Please help us make a sad situation into a victory for many! 

I am a designer who has recently tried to help my cousin and his family recover from his terminal illness, a recent divorce, and general chaos. He begged me to move from Va. to Tx to help him care for his children, and care for him as he undergoes treatments. Even though I was happily rooted in Va.(which is a difficult thing to accomplish as I am an artist/designer)I uprooted me and my bengal cat risking everything I had to go help.

The day before his last chemo treatment his son said to him and me that he didn't want anyone taking care of them and their home while the Dad was in the hospital, and that if I didn't leave immediately that he would go live with his Mother(part of the reason why my cousin was in financial distress was all the money he spent to get custody away from the Mom).

So after I spent all my savings to help him out, he told me he didn't want to loose his son and I had to go. I never wanted to move to Texas except to help him, now I am forced to stay. Me and my Bengals are now living in a house that I am renovating at a greatly reduced rate of pay, I had to take the offer because we had no place to go. The owner has been very abusive to me and my animals. When I had the flu he tried to pour bleach on me right before throwing baby kittens across the room. I am 2 weeks from finishing my work here, I wont make very much after everything because allot of time was wasted trying to keep him calm as he would have panic attacks often and even take agression out on us just because he wasn't happy about his light bill. Time was further wasted due to he wouldn't allow us to use any electricity while he was at work, everything he did to try to control everything. We got to have the air conditioning on only when he realized that the new plaster ceiling would stop falling off if allowed to dry with air circulation. By the time I finish if he keeps his head glued on, I will have nothing to move away from him with. He would probably try to keep us here under worse conditions as it inflates his ego and it is all about "control".

The whole situation has been harsh and required much patience and faith to get this far. I have always helped people when I could, now I need help. My idea was to find people to help me create a foundation to help "The Forgotten". A home for abused children and animals because they can help each other deal with the pain of exsistance and trauma of life. Please help me find someone to donate land, vehicles, money, furniture, business mentoring, vetrinarian help for my animals (no vetrinarians want to help us for free!!!! Go figure!)storage facilities, and your prayers. I thought that since I had to start all over I might as well use my problems to solve many more people and animals with the same stone. I got the idea to do this when I discovered a place that helps children and animals in Ga. called Noah's Ark.

I figure in order to solve my situation while creating a safe place for others that I will need just about every donation of everything including medical supplies for homeless children, school books, and etc. The most ideal beginning would be some land with a shelter in an area where beautiful hopeful life can thrive. Texas isn't an ideal place because there are too many climate problems and too many pests. But I will consider anywhere God leads us to.

Hello Mom Lost job,

I lost my job on June 12, 2008. Have been looking for work ever since. I have a child that was in college. The child was accepted into a a program at a university where you did your last year of high school and first year of college. Last year when the child went to this university we  did not get aid so it was left up to me paying out of pocket for my child education. I had a hnadle on it then it became to much. I worked three jobs trying to keep up but bills started to fall behind. I was trying my best to keep my child in the college. My child did two semester and had to come home. I realized that I can not offered the program anymore. My child  came back home and tried to go back to high school but came to find out she finished and no need to attend. My child graduated this June. I owe the college a balance of $2989.49 my child can not go back until the pervious balance is paid off. I almost lost my home trying to give my child the American dream of attending college. My child  got a job and help me save our home we are on a forbarance plan with our mortgage company and this is the last month for the payment. Now all my child friends are going away to college in August and my child does not know where her future lies because she can't go back because of a previous bill. I feel like I have detroyed my childs life. If my child goes back goes back she will receive aid and she can take out loans because she is of age to sign contracts. The plan was to pay off the blance this summer so she can go back. But now I am unemployed. I gave up two part time jobs two months ago when things started to fall back in order. I got this great job at the begining of the year which was a great increase in salary and to only be laid off in six months. Now my child feels like she is lost and have no future. If there is someone out there that can make a denotation to her university so she can get her life back it will be really apperciated. I just want to see my child live a dream. I am not asking for funds to come to me but go directly to the university. I am putting this story out there. I am a single mother trying to give my child a better life. She is smart and has a chance to have a bright future. I am down on my luck and family can't help because my parents are retired and live on a fixed income. I hope someone can help. My lossing my job is the least of my worries. I just need my child to get her college life back. I will find another job I faith in the lord that that is coming any day now. I just need my child to get here life back so she won't feel like such a failure because she is not. Her mother failed her. I need to help her. I hope someone can help.

Thanks
