I met my ex-wife while homeless.  Together we worked our way off the streets and into an apartment.  After a year in Denver we moved to Phoenix with the hope of starting a family.  Soon we found ourselves in school and I had an amazing job assistant teaching in a small private school for autistic children.  After we graduated from our first degree, AS in Criminal Justice Administration, my wife was convicted of fraud.  Although I assure people she was innocent and give plenty of proof to her innocents, my views are indeed biased.  What can I say, I still care about her.  Once she was placed in jail we lost our three bedroom house and I was forced to sign a lease on a studio apartment.  After a time we grew apart and when she was released we separated and are seeking divorce, which I’ am sure I will pay for not that I regret it, my only concern now is providing for my 7 month old daughter and ensuring I will be able to maintain visitation with my child.  I’ am currently working in a group home for severely mentally ill clients whom have been just released from the state hospital.  I enjoy this field, however I miss teaching even more.  I have my CJA degree which qualifies me for social work.  Yet I still need a BA to earn enough money to support my child independent of her mother.  Assistance for food and insurance has been temporarily confirmed for the two of them, but time is short and my daughter could have a much healthier life if I could take her full time and relieve the burden on my ex-wife.  I have the means to support a one bedroom apartment with childcare and health care as long as I can find a way over this seemingly impossible wall.  Nothing has been more frustrating than being able to provide for my child and finding the means is scarcely within reach.  The hardest part for me has been seeing the conditions in which my daughter lives five days a week knowing she can have better if only I could share custody and have her with me 50% of the time.  My only down fall is this would require a one bedroom apartment and I can afford only a studio at this time.  I have worked out a budget and plan for this to work for both the mother and myself while providing a stable environment for my daughter.  The only downfall to this is the extra three to four hundred dollars a month which I do not have and still maintain the current support to my daughter.  My goal is to help provide for my daughter, not deprive her of a loving mother.  I fear the possibility of state benifits running out and my wife inadvertently violating her parole due to lack of work.  I would be powerless against the state taking custody of my child.  I would fight for her tooth and nail, but I would rather maintain a stable life for her.  My ex wife and I are both full time students and I have worked with special needs and at risk children all my life (as short as it has been).  I have the ability to do this as well as the means with job offers with benefits.  The only thing missing is a financial resorce which would only have to last for six months max.

I have not seen my father and my country in 6 1/2 years

Hi,
My name is Tetty, I am from Indonesia and have been living in the USA for almost 10 years, I live in San Francisco and working at Private College.
San Francisco is very expensive place to live and I have been trying so hard to save my money so that I can afford ticket to go home to Indonesia to visit my father, my family and my country. I have been struggling in this city for almost 2 years now, the money that I earn that my job is only enough to dover rent and daily life.

I don't want to ask my father for money because I want to prove him that I am doing okay in USA, I am pretty and sexy and I know I can easily find rich boyfriend to buy me things but that's not what I want, I believe in hard work and dignity, unfortunetley I have been failed to try to save money to buy my own ticket to Indonesia to visit my family.

Please help me, I haven't been home for 6 1/2 years and it is very sad that I often dream about visiting home, giving my father and my younger brother a hug and a kiss, I really miss them, please help me. I don;t know what else to do, I am still trying so hard to save my money. Please help.

I will be willing to meet with you for coffee/drinks to say thank  you if you live near my area.


Thank you and God Bless you.

Singel Father providing Safe Enviroment

I’ am a recently separated father with full time employment and school.  I make enough to cover my bills, but have no insurance due to the high cost as well as I make just enough to not be eligible for state assistance.  My financial aid covers my classes whoever there is enough left over to cover only two months of child support (7 month old daughter lives with mother).  Child care for my ex-wife is limited and financial assistance was denied due to a felony conviction prior to birth.  I pay child support as well take her for the two days a week I can make it to her, however my ex is requesting back child support ($200) plus my regular payment as well.  I have been seeking assistance to pay off medical bills, vehicle insurance, utility bills, or even rent, anything to get enough far enough ahead to pay a few weeks of child care as well as enable me to afford to have health insurance.  I have been ineligible for state benefits although I need (minimal) assistance to accomplish these few simple tasks.  I have looked for other jobs in my field and I’ am with the highest paying company right now at my level.  Any information and or references will be greatly appreciated.  I have worked my way off the streets from six years ago and I have this one small hump which is seemingly impossible.  Thank you for your time.

"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.

In need of help...

I do not wish to portray myself as desperate, however...I am in need of assistance.

I have poor credit mostly because of bad choices when I became involved with my child's mother.  I have been forced out of my child's life by the State of Florida and my ex.  I am now in financial ruin.  Because the State is involved, I cannot move forward as I do not have the money to properly protect my rights or my child's.

I love my child more than the air I breathe...

Is there anyone willing to help a father and child who deserves better than they are being given?

Send me an angel

Send me an angel...

 

I have nowhere else to turn and in a last ditch effort I am looking for support from anyone.  My family is falling apart and I feel like this is my last chance to save it.  My father had a brain tumor removed 17 years ago and as a result he is disabled, 85% deaf, has suffered through 2 heart attacks, is chronically depressed and is giving up hope.  On top of that my sister developed a brain tumor several years ago and suffers through pain to this day due to the surgery.  My father has tried countless medications and has seen various doctors but nothing has been able to help him.  My mother is a nurse and feels very guilty that she cannot figure out what is wrong with him.  She is also having heart problems because she works a very stressful job trying to pay for all the medical expenses.  I fear that she won’t be able to retire because of all she is going through, and worse yet, I fear that she will suffer a heart attack as well.  I had to move away from my family to find a job with a decent amount of pay so that I could send home money to help pay for my father’s medical bills.  The money my mom and I are saving is still not enough to cover the expenses of the treatment my father needs to get well. 

 

I fear that without proper treatment things will inevitably take a turn for the worse.  I am desperately reaching out to anyone that might be able to help my family.  If you could find it in your heart to donate one dollar or any amount that you can, my family and I would be eternally grateful.  If not, I understand, but please keep my family in your prayers.  I am being 100% honest about everything I have said here, and this is not a scam.  I would never lie about a situation as serious as this.  Please feel free to email me if you want to find out more information or if you want proof.

 

Please feel free to contact me at zeek427@gmail.com if you have any questions. 

 

If you think you could help, please send anything you can to:

Father desperately needs help!

 I am a father of 3 who is recovering from a 2nd back surgery. I have been told by my doctor and physical therapist that it may take up to 6 months before I am able to return to work. I have exhausted all my sick and personal leave. I have worked all my life and never have asked for anything free but now I am desperate. Since I am not permanently disabled I do not qualify for goverment assistance. I am in danger of losing my home to foreclosure and other bills are mounting. Anyone that could help me out no matter how small the amount I will do my best to repay when I go back to work and get back on my feet. Donations or loans can be made to my paypal account danhow41@yahoo.com or mailed to  D. Howell, 2035 E Pinetree Blvd, Thomasville Ga 31792. God Bless!

Doing my best!

I have wife and two children and I'm working two jobs trying to take care of all of my responsibilites. God has blessed me with a healthy family and a job that lets me help the mentally challenged so I'm very happy with what I have. Its almost time to register for school and I don't have a permanent address for my kids, I'm trying to save the money to get a home but everytime we get close something happens. Your prayers would be more than enough.

Divorced Father of 2 - about to lose everything

I make decent money, been in the same career for almost 15 years.  My problem is, with child support, marital debt, poor housing market, reduced bonusses at work due to economy, I am in over my head.  I have worked up a detailed budget analysis and the outlook is grim.  My house is worth $30,000 less than I owe.  I've been trying to sell it since February '07.  My truck is worth $6000 less than I owe.  My minimum monthly payments going out each month are roughly $1500 more than money coming in, and there is no end in sight.  I live a meager lifestyle spending money on just the basic necessities.  I have racked up almost $30,000 in unsecured, high interest (some @ 30% APR) debt just staying afloat, waiting for my house to sell.  It is all about to fall apart, and my 6 and 3 year olds, of whom I split custody 50-50, are going to see their father have a breakdown.  My counselor scratches his head along with me, trying to find a credit-saving way out - there just isn't one.  If I sold my house to break even, I could move in with a relative for a year and turn things around.  If I could sell it for a loss, I'd do it if there were a way to release the lien.  I just don't have any answers.  Maybe someone here does?

I HAVE NOT SEEN MY FATHER 22 YEARS, PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!
GOD BLESS YOU, PLEASE HELP ME TO GET TO USA TO SEE MY FATHER AND I WISH TO SEE MY MOTHER  TOO,  WHO IS FAR FROM EUROPE.   MY FATHER  HAS NEVER SEEN  MY KIDS AND HE IS VERY LONELY. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER, LIVE IN EUROPE.

Help me find a job or point me to one?!?!?!

I have been a coal miner for several years in WV. Recently the mine I have worked for for several years just closed down with no warning. Go to WSAZ.com for the full story. It put 75 men out of work with no pay before they severed us. I have 5 children and I have to be able to provide for them. I have been out evryday since the lay off and looking for new employment, but since there are at least 74 other men trying to find these same jobs, I am coming up empty because most of the mines are saying it may take weeks o sort through all the resumes. I don't have weeks. I have tried googling some local mines but I am not the most computer savvy person and am coming up short on that as well. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Here's my information:

I am black hat certified as well as EMT-Miner certified. (I have verification for both) I live in Glen Fork WV. Surrounding areas include:
Wyoming County
Raliegh County
Boone County
Logan County
McDowell County

If you find anything...you can contact me here or directly through my email at jjbrown32102@aol.com

injured trucker
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA

 I am a trucker who is currently out of work because of an injury, the company after all my years of service, is fighting my claim. The evidence of the injury is there, they are not denying that, but are trying to say it is an old injury, the case is in the courts now, and I know that  i will win, because4 it was a legitimate accident. Until that happens, I have been recieving unemployment, which runs out in two weeks. I have an 11 year old son whom I love more than life itself. I recently had to take full custody of him from my exwife, because of neglect. I have a 79 year old mother, that developed alzheimers, she lives with my brother in Texas. My brother, being agitated about my mothers condition, and his wifes complaining to leave him, because of it, wants me now to bring her back to Pittsburgh, and for me to deal with her. I love my mother, and would gladly take her in, but two things hold me back; first being in the financial mess I am in, and secondly she needs 24 hour supervision, and I can not afford to pay the outrageous prices that are charged by these facilities, and I do not want to put her in a dump. I am a 44 year old Italian/ Irish man, who is very patriotic, conservative, family oriented, and a sinner, saved by the grace of god. I like the simple things of life, and love the outdoors, as it draws me closer to God.

MY FATHER JUST PASSED AWAY, I have no money to bury him.

I am originally from a small Country in West Africa called Rep. of Benin. I am now living in Washington. For some raison, things started going downhill for me 2 and half months ago.

First, because of lack of grant money, some of us were temporally lay-off. I fall 2 months behind on my rent and had to report to Court and pay the court register with all the money I had left.

A week ago (last Tuesday), the news came from Africa, that my father passed away and my mother, same age as my father 87 years old is critically sick but can’t get the treatment she needs because of lack of money.
I am the only son, and the only direct relative.

I am here to beg all the goodwill people to help me bury my Late Father, and send my sick Mother to the hospital.
I know, each and everyone has some kinds of problem, still if you could, Please Help. No matter how small, you will be doing the greatest thing for someone you even never knew.

The longer the body stays in the hospital, the more money “You and Me” will have to pay the Mortuary for the body to be released.

I know it is urgent, no one planned for that.

I can be reached at (ll_passion@yahoo.com)  (LL_ PASSION@YAHOO.COM)

Seeking joint custody of my daughter... In need of a lawyer who will fight for me in a "mother's rights state" Cannot afford a lawyer or to go cheap

I do not intend to make this a long, drawn out, sob story but I do want to make note of quite a few points to gain understanding. I am a 20 yr old male, seeking joint custody of my daughter (2yrs old.)

Things did not work out between my ex girlfriend and I and we broke up before finding out she was pregnant with my child. I was there from day one, willing and wanting to be a good dad for my little girl. For the first two years of her life I helped to support her, bearing the burden of her mother's violent outbursts and physical abuse. Never having called police on any instances (ranging from having glass dishes thrown at me with my daughter present to having a knife pulled on me over petty disagreements and her relentless jealousy,) giving her rides to work for over a year so she could support herself and my daughter, giving her money every month (mostly cash) and encouraging her to seek help for her instability, I thought that she would allow me to be a part of my daughter's life and would eventually mature. We lived together as a makeshift family for over a year, making things work as best we could and agreeing that we were not together and could see other people as long as they were not brought into our home or around our daughter for the time being.

 In recent months I learned from neighbors that she had her boyfriend of six months visiting the home, with my daughter present, on numerous occasions. Once I informed her that I was starting to build a relationship with somebody, she turned bitterly violent towards me, on numerous occasions forcing me to stay with family or neighbors, locking me out of our shared home, and even calling the police on fabricated stories of abuse from me. Each time the police came out they saw that there was no harm done and witnesses verified this. The following day, after one such occasion, I came home from work to find our apartment nearly empty and a note from her stating that she could not emotionally deal with me seeing someone else and that she had made up her mind to leave.

She called me a week later to inform me that she had moved out of state and would not let me know where she had gone or supply any means of contacting her. She stated that when my daughter "turns 18, she will be able to decide whether she wants to see you."

Since then I have learned that she is in this state. I filed for joint custody last month, which I believe is fair for all parties. In her response she slandered me endlessly, claiming that I regularly abused her physically and emotionally and requested that I be allowed only 4 hours of "visitation" a month. She also asked for $800 per month for child support and $17,000 in back child support, claiming that I, in no way, provided assistance or support for my daughter.

 I have evidence to prove otherwise but not to the extent of reciepts from the grocery store or proof of most of the money that I gave to her regularly. I have many credible witnesses to her violent outbursts and to my loving care of my daughter. However, I have been advised by many people, that in the state I live in, it is common for the woman to retain full custody and for the father to be allowed only "parenting time." It is a "women's rights state," according to the legal advisors I have spoken with and they have informed me that any domestic violence, whether by myself OR the respondent, is cause to disallow joint custody and that by any means, it is likely the mother will retain FULL custody.

I am hoping to obtain partial custody of my daughter, as I feel it is in the best interest of her and her mother, who admittedly is violent but a loving, nurturing mother to our daughter, nonetheless. I feel I need an experienced lawyer who will fight hard for my rights as a father in this "mother's rights state." I cannot afford the general $200-300 per hour rates I have seen for lawyers who specialize in such cases and definitely do not want to settle for a so-so attorney, as this is my relationship with my daughter on the line and I feel her future and my own is far too important to "settle."

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
