I am a mother of four very young boys ranging from 4yrs to 5 months. I will have been married for 6 years as of March 31st. In Jan of 2007 my life was turned upside down. My husband was charged with rape and was sentanced to twelve years in prison. Now I am felt to pick up the peices and bring stability to my young family. I have not worked out side the home since I was married. But due to the circumstances I am know in and because I do not wo be a "stitistic" I am seeking work.

My desire is to start a Beauty Shop and be able to set my hours so I will still be able to mother my children. They need me know more than ever. They were very close to their dad and it has been quite an adjustment for us all. Tiring for me, there seems to be no rest. But you have to do what you have to do. My children are the priority now. I have had my cosmetology liscense now for 18 years and have always been able to make money in the salon. My concern is that I have no monitary sources to start the buisness. I only have drive and determination to raise my boys them best I can. They are in a private school which has been a blessing for us because of the media and the cruelity of other toward my family. I don't get it my and my boys did anything wrong but we have been punished. The church we had attended turned on me and the boys along with my mother and father and sisters as if we had comitted the crime.

My husband confessed and turned himself in even though a grand jury did not indite. He has never blamed anyone but himself for his actions. The victim had forgiven him and even wrote a statement on his behalf to the judge. But the community I live has turned it all into madness do to the media.

I need help! I do not no where to turn. I will be evicted at the end of next month. I had to apply for state assistance but because I have not worked in six years. They can not do anything for me until I am homeless. If it comes to this it will be devistating to my children. We have all ready lost "our way of life" which was simple to begin with. I have liquidated our assests and have been able to lower our living cost. But as of right now I have only been able to pay utilities. I have no outstanding debt but I also have no credit. Everything was in my husbands name. PLEASE SOME ONE GIVE ME ADVISE ON WHERE TO GO OR WHAT TO DO!!!

I am a hard worker. I just need direction at the point.

I am currently getting a divorce, after 3 short years of marriage. This was my second marriage and i really tried to work it out, but it became violent and very hurtful.  I am 42 years old, i have two grown children, one i helped through college and still try to help since she has four children and her ex-husband ended up flaking on her and doing the unthinkable, commiting a felony leaving her to raise her children all alone, my son is graduating from college in may, i am proud of both of my children and wish that things had not gotten this bad for me.  I am usually self suffiecient but this has taken so much of me that, after the final incident and i got out of the hospital, i just can't seem to get it together. I do have a loving family, but everybody that i know is in financial ruins, so there really is no help for people like me, so that is why i just did a search to find out if there were other people like me out there, thus i came across this page.

I work in IT but in atl,ga the jobs are so scarce lately, i do have a degree and i have been on quite a few interviews, but no solid offers yet.

I just need some financial help, enough to help see my son through graduation and a hand up to try and secure a place to live, to start over rebuilding my life.  I don't know how this works but I pray that someone can help me, i would be so greatful, the cost of getting an apt these days is so much.  The one thing that i hold dear to my thoughts is the passage "footprints in the sand", because, for once in my life I just don't know what to do next. Somebody please help me!!!!   God bless everyone who reads this whether you can help me or not.

Hello...  My name is Amy, and I have 2 beautiful children, a 4 year old little girl and a 6 year old boy.  I'm asking anyone for any help that they can lend right now.  I left my boyfriend a month ago to get my children out of a bad situation and we moved in with my sister.  Her apartment is very small and there's no room for all of us in it.  Not to mention, as soon as I left my boyfriend he went crazy and took my van and tried to get my children taken away from me, he hasn't left me alone and it's hard to stay away from him all the time but for their safety I have to.  I have been trying to get state aid, but now I'm crunched for time because we can't stay at my sister's and my job doesn't pay enough for me to be able to save anything.  I need to leave her house anyway because he knows where I live right now and I don't want him to have any of that information on my children and I.  They are my world and I've been trying to do everything in my power to protect them and keep them safe, but I don't know how much longer we can stay safe in our current situation.  For me to be able to get an apartment right now I would need close to $2000 dollars, but if I can get around $2500 I've already been approved for a house if I can come up with closing costs and everything.  They said the state will help once I can get into a house, but they can't do anything before then.  Please find it in your hearts to help out my family and I in our time of need.  Thank you for looking and we hope you have a wonderful day!
