I am a first year Graduate student in the field of Public Health, specifically Health Promotion. I am interested in serving the public as a future Health Educator. My interests include: Women's Health, AIDS, Diabetes, and International Health Issues. I am looking for opportunities to receive additional financial support while I pursue my master's degree (aside from loans). Additionally, I am seeking opportunities within research and public service relating to health.

Open to advice, helpful web links, health-related volunteer and paid opportunities, financial aid information, and public health information

Sincerely,

Becca

Mother of 5 year old with Leukemia and Developmental delays. I am needing help with transportation costs and related expenses of getting him back and forth to do the doctor and therapy sessions.

Hi - My name is Cindy. I am seeking out people who are middle-class and being denied assistance by our govenment. I am looking forward to advice on how to turn my situation around. 

I am a single mom making $40k a year (which used to be considered good money). But, I receive no child support my son's father (literally nothing ever) and with the cost of daycare and everyday living expenses such as car pymt, gas, auto insurance & healthcare costs. I have had to move home with my parents!! At 34 yrs old!! And I still don't have a damned dollar in my pocket even now that I have moved back home! I have no healthcare plan for myself because I can't afford the additional premium. Therefore, coverage is only on my son...AND I STILL PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR MOST MEDICAL SUTUATIONS DUE TO THE PLAN HAVING A $1500 DEDUCT!! HA! I can't even cry about it anymore. Additionally, I pay taxes for no reason because I get paid "too much" to qualify for food stamps or any other form of gov't assistance (which I am embarrassed to say that I really need).

Hello to everyone!  I have been on a desperate search online today for any help that's out there, financially.  i am a 31 year old single mother, 2 children, ages 4 & 6.  I just relocated less than 3 months ago to get away from an alcoholic man who was beating my kids, and verbally abusing them. 

I had to get away, so I took a leap of faith with my tax return, got my first place to live on my own, but I still haven't found a job!  My money has run completely out, I have job applications in everywhere, 1/2 a tank of gas at this moment, $121 behind on my rent (which $125 will be due again on May 1st), My power is overdue, i can't afford childcare, their father is unemployed so he can't help, I have food stamps so i am not starving, My childen need new clothes (growing out of them and don't have much anyway)  and need an opportunity to make money or help.  I have 12 cents in my bank account, and nothing to sell except a sewing machine that I bought to mend our clothes if needed.  I don't have much at all, just a simple life.  My computer is an old borrowed one from my mom and dad.  They don't have much either so they can't help me.  I don't know what to do, and I refuse to resort to illegal activity of any kind!  i just want my children to have a decent life, and I want to be able to give that to them.  I feel like they aren't going to respect me if they see me fail.  All they have ever seen is me depend on someone else, and I want to be independent.

I have tried looking up loans, but you have to be employed to get that, and all of the home business "jobs" require start up money.  You can't tell what's legitimate anyway.  If anyone has any ideas, a job, money, opportunity, prayers, words of encouragement, clothes for a boy age 4, or a girl age 6, a car they would trade for my windstar van (too much on gas), anything to help please.  I just don't know what to do.

God bless everyone and peace be with you.

I'm a single mother of 3 I currently live in Boston but I'm trying to relocate to Georgia so my children can have a better life in a better enviornment.I am looking forward to the change but this move is very costly with my mother's help that this is only possible that this could happen.However I need a reliable vehicle to get to work & my children to and from school if there is any help available I will gladly accept it or any positive feedback or advice.

I am at a loss. I was married for 28 years and divorced 2 years ago. I had spent the last 4 of those years traveling 1000 miles back and forth from my home to my mothers. She has been a cancer patient for the last 6 years now. My Ex had promised to move the family back to the state my mom lives in to help with her care. He moved me into a house, in which he rented and he moved me down and paid for the set up and everything. Then he filed divorce against me for desertion. He had a girl friend that I didn't know about, and apparently needed me out of the way. Well due to the lack of money and a "good" attorney, I got screwed out of what I was due according to the states law, and my Ex was able to get his files and info sealed from disclosure. I have no skills inwhich to get a job, nor do I have any knowledge of financial responsibility. Everything was always taken care of by my ex. I didn,t know what we had or what came in or what went out.

I thought I could make it on my own. Why not everybody else does it. I met a nice guy and all was going well again for me for a while. We were going to get married. Then He disappeared.    No contact. no info, all previous info and contact availability was gone. No family contact, nothing. as if he or his family never existed. How is that possible?

He took what little money I had, ran up all of my credit cards took out loans in my name on line. He has ruined me mentally and financially. I am about to loose my home, my vehicle and my life. I owe more than anything is worth. I am stuck living in an area where there are 9500 people in the county and only 4500 jobs. My mother cann't help, she's on retirement, and she is in failing health from lung cancer.

I have looked for work of any kind, in the area. All I hear is , you have no expierence. The closest larger city is 32 miles away. I might find something there, but the gas prices keep me in my own town. My only transportation is a van. So, all of my trips to town are planned to keep gas usage at a minimum. I tried trading my van in on a smaller and more econimical vehicle. But no matter what vehicle I looked at, The company's I was dealing with always wanted a cash payment. Even if my van was worth more than the vehicle I was looking at. In other words " no cash no deal" I don't know what to do.

I don't have any family or friends that can help. I have tried. I used to do volunteer Health care work. But that doesn't pay or help me now that I need the help. I haven't been able to get a job in that field either, because of " no education".

I need help! I am so lost.

I'll go to school, I'll learn to do what i need to in order to make everything right.

I just don't know hwere to turn or how to get out of this problem.

If you can advise or assist or both I would be grateful.

thank you,

Rosie
