I'm a single mother who is low income and mentally ill, but I want to make my son's life better and my life more quality through my passion for writing. I have one novel finished and I am already discussing self-publishing with a service called Author House. I need to move about so that is why I posted for help getting a notebook computer. Other ventures I need help with are getting my novel published (need about 4,000 for that alone), and money for marketing. I have more than one project in the works right now and can use all the help I can get!

Hi, to all

I decided to make this aidpage, after I read so many requests for help.

I was on a very bad financial situation when a friend sent me the URL above, after reading and exploring the website, learning and testing the concepts, I can say that it works. The best part is that it's Free.

I hope it help as many people as it helped me.

Read the  site, the forum, download the free book and much more free stuff.

Expect Sucess!

 Last year, we posted this plea for help:

"We really need your help!  We are in serious dire straits!!  We are being evicted from our apartment and have no place to go!  We are 4, going on 5 months behind in rent, our power is getting cut off on Wednesday, and I will lose this internet connection on Tuesday!  I'm running out of groceries, and my kids need clothes and supplies for school which starts on Aug. 20th.  In spite of my efforts to secure a full-time job, it's just not enough.  Please help us!!! Somebody, please!"

Though there was no influx of money or someone offering us a place to rent for less than what we were paying, or offering to help us with a couple of bills, we still maintained our faith in God that He will see us through all of our trials and life situations.  We are happy to post this testimony that God is there and that since this time, we have secured a new place to live (however temporary), we both secured good-paying jobs and are managing, though tightly to make it one day at a time.  We do, at every chance that we can, help people who are in need.  We don't have 100s or 1000s or millions to assist, believe me, if we did, we'd share it!  Sometimes the greatest help comes in the form of testimony of God's awesome miracles!  I know this doesn't seem like much to some, but it has meant the world to us.  Keep your faith!  BELIEVE!!!!  Take a deep breath, exhale slowly and go to bed knowing you have done all you can do for that day, and start fresh in the morning.  God Bless and Good Luck!  and please share your stories!

Want Baby's first christmas to be special.

I am a mother of a beautiful 8 month old baby boy.  Recently my sons father got into some trouble with the law, and was deported to mexico. He will not be coming back for a while, if ever. I dont get anything from him since hes gone. I am on welfare, but its not enough to take care of a baby and mysef. When he was deported, i had only the money i get from welfare coming in, which was not nearly enough to pay for our appartment.. I had no place to go..my father who lives in a senior mobile home community allowed me to move in with him temporarialy..because it is against the rules for me and the baby to live with him. Janurary 15th is my last day here. I am saving everything i can but its not going to be enough for security deposit and rent. What i need is help with a cheap appartment, mobile home....or if there is someone out there willing to rent a room to me and my baby..please let me know. Also..since i am saving money for our move..i am unable to buy anything for my son for christmas. I do realise he is to young to understand..but i understand..and it hurts thinking that , for my sons first christmas he will not be getting any gifts. If you can help...he is 8 months old..and he needs clothes (size 9-12 month), toys, shoes (size 2-3),  or anything that you would be willing to help me with. I dont care if its used..I only care that there will be somthing 'new' for him this christmas.

please help.

I have been a volunteer fundraiser for many events/organizations within my state.
I am disabled but that does not stop me from living,caring or assisting someone in need. Especially when their needs out weigh mine.  I learned the hard way though...one time a teenager who was kicked out of his home...I let him stay with me. He stole all my rent money and medications. I did not do anything but make a report of it and it cost me to loose my home, because I believed he had a greater need for the money and I felt God would take care of me. I lost my home....but that's something else.

I am a young fit 38 year old women looking for assistance in starting an Alpaca Ranch. I am in need of a cash gift of $100,000.00. I have found the perfect ranch equipped with most of the stalls and fencing and adequate space. I will be financing this ranch. I have half of the down payment and some of the start up cost, of which is my own money. In order to finalize and make this dream happen I am in need of financial assistance. In closing, in order to start this very prosperous business, of which not only will this ranch produce a very good income through breeding, selling fleece and showing. In fact, this will also allow me to do what I love and that is work with and care for animals. In addition, escape the stress of the big city, work outdoors and provide for my family.

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.

funds needed for training

need $20,000.00 to be able to go to jewelry school and gemology you see I'm a jewelry designer with beads and things but I need more I want to be able to work with silver and gold and gem stones would be very gratefull for any kind of help including but not limited to cash gifts.

I am a mother of three.  I have a fifteen year old, a four year old and a two year old.  My husband left last month and took all the money and our only running vehicle.  I was trying to do an online business to try and make a little extra money to help out, but that didn't work out very well.  I no longer have the money to make products to sell.  I haven't been able to find work or help with grants around this small town.  They are shutting off our electric today and I'll have an eviction notice tommorrow.  I'm not sure what to do.  I will be having a yard sell this weekend to try and make a little extra money, other than that, I'm lost.  I've already applied for work at all the places in town even places I know I don't qualify for.  Without electric, I can't hope to get a call for work and without a home, my children will have to go to foster care.  If you know of any way to help, please let me know.

I am here because I am a young, smart, dedicated mother of 2 very smart loving kids. I have come to a point in my life where the man that I trusted with our lives just decided to leave us with nothing. It is sad because he controlled everything and could care less about me and our kids well being. I have been a stay at home mother and I do not have any unnecessary bills. All I have is rent, utilities, food, car insurance and very little money for anything else. I want to go back to school to make something of myself but there are other things that stand in my way. I need a job but no one here will take a chance on me because I havent worked and I have no experience. I need money for everyday living and it makes it harder when I want to work and go to school and then I need money for a babysitter that I can trust with my kids. I am just so stressed that I cannot provide the things that I need for my kids. I here all the time about people going into debt and well I dont want to do that to myself or my kids. I want to have some stability for themand myself but it seems like I am getting nowhere and well the money that I still have will not last long. I am not sure what I am asking for I just know that I need help. I want to find a job at home but I cant invest the little money that I have. I have sold alot of my things to make more money and well that in itself makes me sad. I just really need something to help me get by. I would really love it if this site is real and well I am not afraid to talk to someone that is real and not looking to add to the stresses that I have. I am just so afraid that my kids will have to see the harsh realities of. I want to give them a roof over there head but I can only afford a few more months and I really dont know what to do. I just dont want them to feel in secure. I want the simple things in life but no one is willing to give me a chance to prove myself to them. Life is hard but it seems to want to keep me down rather than letting me and my family prosper.

 I have a list of things that I "WISH" I could have but then again I am not to lazy to make my wishes come true. I just need some help to be stabel enough to give my kids a home.I live in a small apartment and well to better understand my situation I am pretty much living off of 1500 a month and my rent is more than half that amount. I cant get a deposit for another place and well where I live it is a really reasonable price. My landlord is really nice and understanding but he is also struggling and well with 2 kids and we dont go shopping alot. Me and my kids have all second hand things, we eat canned goods most of the time, and we just spend time together so the good thing is that my kids dont need the fancy things to make them happy. They do want the new things but they know that I cant give it to them because I dont have the money. I would love to give them the nicer things for their birthdays and holidays but I cant sacrifice the money in that way. I am just feel so inadequate at times. I want to give them extra things because they are smart and deserve them but everything is so pricey. We rarely go to mcdonalds and when we go we only get the dollar menu thing and we go where we can get free refills. I mean that is a good thing but to have to explain to my little ones that I cant do more because mommy dont have the resources really makes me depressed. They dont know the things that I have to struggle with and I hope they never know but they see it and ask questions and I have to try and tell them something else that is positive. It becomes torture at times when they see the things that others recieve and how others indulge in the luxuries of life.

ADDED this on May 10,2008

I am really looking forward to making a life with my kids but now I am trying to find some grants that I can apply for so that I can go back to school. I am having a hard time getting a job and finding needed help. I would really love it if people could help me financially but that is a dream in it self. I understand that people dont know if I am real or not but all I can say is that I am and if someone is generous enough to help me out they would be doing a great thing. I would be happy with 5 dollars I mean every little bit helps. I have really changed so much in my life to make a honest life with my kids and it hurts me that I cant give them the things that once had. They understand the situation a little but it still sucks for them because they are so young. I want to give them some security but here in hawaii it is quite difficult. I dont know what can help me but I just really dont want to go in to debt so that is why I am asking for help before we have to suffer more with those things. I am a open person and real as can be. I am not lying and well I hope that a decent person is willing to get to know me and my family enough to see that I am not scamming anyone. I really want grants for schools and I just dont know which ones are legit. But if anyone just wants to help me in monetary things that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for reading this and I hope that there are generous people out there that would like to help me and my kids in our time of need. I know there are alot out there and i probaly dont have a really hard story but I just dont want my kids to have to suffer a moment of hardships. Please feel free to respond. Thank you again

Please gather your friends,family,co-workers and church members and adopt this family for the holiday.
Kathy the mother survived a horrible motorcycle accident in October.She took her 16yr old out to meet her side of the family for the 1st time in California. The man responsible for the accident had been drinking, had no license, no insurance and was not legal to be in our country. Her insurance coverage will not help her and her vacation and sick pay ran out. Kathy is finally back to Mn, She is still in the hospital...but finally off life support. She is learning to walk and talk again and has a long way to go. We take food over to the kids regularly but I cannot find anyone willing to financially assist her....even this time of year for XMAS.
I need people to send gifts, gift cards, money....whatever your heart feels, just leave me a message on here and I will get the information to you. For those of you who don't have time and just want the information...here it is.Thank you, God Bless and Happy Holidays to you and yours.

Hello Wonderful, Compassionate World!  Here is my story

Merciful Compassion
'Krapalu'
Showing or giving mercy.

I am a single mother of an amazing little boy, who is the love of my life.  I worked my fingers to the bone in a great career, putting my blood, sweat and tears into a company for over 14 years.  It was the opportunity of a lifetime, and I was able to learn and grow with this company, starting out as a bookkeeper, and moving into a senior executive level.  I purchased our first home on my own, and it was our dream home.

My son's biological father was hardly ever involved in his life, never paid child support, and never helped with my child's insurance or any of the medical bills.  The father only came around to harass me when it was convenient for him.  After several volatile and abusive situations with this man, I finally decided that I needed to take legal action to rid myself of this man before my son witnessed my murder by him.

If anyone is familiar with our judicial system, it is not about right or wrong, or even the truth for that matter.  I hired an attorney to set up a Protective Order and Supervised Visits for my son because his father had already threatened to kill me, kidnap my son, and take him to Mexico where he owns property.   I took the high road during the entire litigation, always believing that the truth prevails.  Boy, was I in for a rude awakening.  The biological father put up the most vicious, vindictive fight against me, concocting the most malicious lies about me and tried to take my son from me.  Unfortunately, he was able to con an attorney to work Pro Bono for him, and I was in for the fight of my life. 

I do not come from a wealthy family at all, and worked very hard for everything that I had.  Well, the opposing counsel pulled many unethical and illegal manuevers during our litigation, and got my son's father out of over $20,000 in back child support, his portion of unpaid medical bills, and forced me to rack up over $200,000 in legal fees.  After four attorneys, selling my beloved home, losing everything I had worked so hard for, and going through my parents retirement funds, I kept custody of my son, but at a very high price.  On top of getting the father out of his financial responsibilities - the opposing counsel also got the child support payments reduced to nothing.  Please note:  the biological father is a trained nurse - but waits tables so he can hide his income and pay the lowest child support possible.

I had to sell my dream home to help pay legal fees in the fight for my child - but the worst part is that my parents had to help me with the rest of the legal fees and went through their entire life savings.  They are both retired and in their 60's and 70's.  They had been very frugal and spent their entire lives saving to have a decent retirement. 

Because of this litigation, my credit has been temporarily ruined after years of a pretty much perfect credit score, I owe my parents over $200,000, and have to start my life completely over from rock bottom.  My biggest heartbreak is that my parents are not even able to enjoy their golden years because of one very bad attorney, and my choice to leave an extremely abusive man.

I have been trying so hard to land a job, but with no luck.  I have asked friends and relatives for help, but no luck there either.

So here I am, On AIDPAGE.  I am completely broke, in serious debt, and desperately need help from any Angels out there.  I am not asking for a handout - I just truly need some help getting back on my feet to be self sufficient again.  My parents need my help.  My son needs me to be strong for him. 

I cherish helping and giving to the homeless.  I am very saddened that I am not in a position right now to be able to give back to those in need, but it is my top priority once I get back on my feet again.  Money and material possessions are worthless unless we continuously give back to those in need.

Thank you for reading my story.  If there is anyway that some Angel out there could see it in their heart to help me, my son, and my parents, the graciousness and gratefulness would be insurmountable. 

I would reciprocate in any way that I could - by providing my business services, running errands, doing odds and ends as a personal assistant - because I absolutely do not expect someone to help me without something in return.  I am a giver, not a taker - making this situation in my life right now very difficult for me.

If you see it in your heart to help our situation, I would be so grateful.  Please, please help us.  I have a PayPal account if anyone would be so kind as to help us.  God Bless All of You!

Thank you again for taking the time to read this!

'Aum' or 'Om'

Aum represents the Divine and is explained in the Upanishads as standing for the whole world and its parts, including past, present and future. It is from this primal vibration that all manifestation issues forth. Aum's three letters represent the three worlds and the powers of creation, pr

Well, I haven't received any advice and I still haven't found work. I've spent all of my free time looking and applying for grants for help. All the places around here are out of funds. I don't have long to be out of my home. I don't know if it will help in time, but I will ask. If you have the ability to help then just donate $1.00. If enough people can then perhaps I can pay a couple of my bills, and perhaps fix my van so I can go out of town to look for work. Thank you and God bless.

I am a friend of a friend who is collecting donations for her children to have a wonderful Christmas. They are struggling to pay bills and buy gifts at the same time. The reason is, her parents are deceased whom she has lived with, a single mom and now is left to pay mortgage and utilities with limited income that they have. The kids are a girl 7 and boy 11, they are both disabled.   If there's anyone out there to help, and share your ideas and thoughts let me know, because every little bit is matters and appreciated.

Hi I am a 29 year old mother of 4 children and 2 step children. My husband was recently layed off. We were given a 2 bedroom trailer for 4 of us to live in. My 2 step children live with there mother and My older 2 are staying with my mother for school purposes. I have tried about everything that I can think of to get some help to pay bills and lot rent and have come up empty handed. My daughter is 7 months old and growing out of all her cloths as is my 4 almost 5 year old son (whome may be autistic). We were able to get a small dorm sized fridge when we moved in this trailer and it is working but the going to the store every other day is killing me. I dont know what to do anymore. I have gotten help from both of our families and dont really want to ask them anymore. Its been 2 months now and our bills are racking up. My son will be 5 on the 31st and i am somehow hoping to pull off a small birthday for him. I forgot to add..... We also are borrowing a car and the owner needs it back asap. Hard to do when we have no job, no money and no way to find any of those things.

NEED CHRISTMAS HELP FOR MY 3 BOY'S

Hello, I am in need of help this Christmas, My husband lost his job and was denied unemployment. We have had utilities turned off because we couldn't pay our bills. We used all our savings paying what we had to get them back on and now have nothing left for anything. We are probably going to lose our home after the first of the year if we can not come up with money for our property taxes, I just want to give them a nice christmas. Our middle son has several disabilities and is currently in a treatment center recieving care and I want to give him a nice christmas. we have 3 boys ages 16, 10 and 4. I have a paypal account that I can accept donations for presents Sherri1972@verizon.net. I also would love gift cards to toy stores to buy them presents. I am willing to send copy's of the reciepts showing what I purchased for them.

Thank you and God Bless
