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.

Im not even sure what this site is for other than just having people out there who know what im going through. I have spent the last few years wondering if im going to be able to hang on. Im an adult survivor of child abuse and sexual abuse. For most of my life I have been able to maintain, but recently I feel like im comming apart. Im sure most of it is related to the fact that my life latley is so out of control. The economy is so bad right now that the stress level's have reached an all time high. I know im not the only one out here suffering, I just feel like I am.  I was diagnosed with Post Tramatic Stress Syndrome, re-occuring depression, Severe Panic and Anxiety. So with all this going on the lack of money isn't helping. I know what I need to do, and I want to be able to do it, I just cant. And I know what your thinking not with that attitude, but I used to have a great attitude, I just lost it somewhere down the road. My husband is Disabled with a bad Back and Knee, It makes it hard because we are trying to maintain a house and raise 3 kids on his disability pay and it just doesnt work.. I've tried everything. I have tried to work and tried to go to school but I just cant finish anything. I start out great and then fizzle. It gets so bad I get so over whelmed I cant continue I start getting panic attacks and then im done. If anyone can offer suggestions Im open. Anything.

until then Im still hanging in there.

Hi, my husband & I live in OHIO. We have no children as of yet, but are preparing to become foster/adoptive parents. I am very into animal rights.Speaking up for those with no voice is my passion. We are both on permanent SS Disability. We live in a mobile home right now, but are trying to move closer to my family. Our mobile home has a ramp, but is not totally wheelchair accessible. So we are waiting to adopt until we move because I have a hard time getting out of it by myself, let alone a child. My husband helps my parents alot with things they have a hard time with. ( taking out garbage, mowing the lawn, running the sweeper, taking them to the doctor) So we need to be closer to their house. We found an accessible home  5 minutes from them. The landlord will hold the house until the first of the month & we need to sell the trailer to be able to pay the security deposit. So we have 12 days to either sell the trailer or come up with the security deposit, I am looking for an organization who will help us pay the deposit. ANY ADVICE WILL BE APPRECIATED & VALUED. Their are too many things that are way to difficult for me in our trailer, & an accessible house that allows animals that is not to expensive is hard to find, we cannot pass up this opportunity. It sounds like I feel sorry for myself, which I don't.Everyone goes thru hard times which make their strength & faith stronger. I thank God for what we have. I'm not looking for a hand-out, just a helping hand. ANY ADVICE?

Hello there,

    My husband who was semi-retired, is now severely disabled due to amputations of

both legs. He has undergone 4 surgeries in the past 6 weeks and has been in the

hospital since April 13th. He came home this week and is bed/wheelchair bound.

We have no means of transportation for him due to his severe physical state.

He also had a stroke in Oct. '07, which left his left side with extreme weakness,

therefore, he has use of only one limb.

  I would love to be able to have the means to transport him myself. If anyone has

ever been on this journey, it's quite difficult to work to pay bills and full-time care

for a loved one in this state.

   Thank you for reading my story and bless you. If you can offer any help, please

email me at datgirl56@yahoo.com.

 

Sincerely,

Dee

unemployed and on SSI AND SSDI (DISABLED)
Long Beach, California
Languages: ENGLISH

I am a person with a disability (I have grandmal siezures) and I have just been given a 3 day notice to pay rent or quit. I am on social security disability insurance and SSI, I am living in Long Beach with my boyfriend, He is currently searching for a job in the Security business, He was employed with Securitas Security Inc. up until 5/23/08. We had to take them to the labor board because they were not giving him breaks,lunches or bathroom breaks. Well we found out that he supposedly signed a "on the job meal" paper and he was not even aware he signed it, this was due to the fact that he just wanted a job and signed all the necessary papers to get this job. So when we went to the labor board we found out about all this and they told us we didn't have a case. So now he is unemployed, however is currently searching very hard for another job, either in the security field or maintenance. We need information on help with rental assistance or help with a security deposit. We have called "Renter's Rights" they told us that our landlord has to file an eviction notice with the court system and it would probably take them about 30 to 45 day's to actually move us out, so in the meantime I will still be getting my SSI and SSDI, He is also working a very "part time" job as my In Home Care Provider, He is olny getting 31.8 hours per month for this. This should be changing very soon because my doctor's office has written a letter for us that he does alot more work than 31.8 hours per month. BUT WE ARE VERY DESPERATE !!!!  I DO NOT WANT TO BE HOMELESS. I have been their before, I am also a recovering addict and alcoholic I have be sober for 4 months coming up on 6/21/08, He is also a recovering alcoholic and has 2 years sober. PLEASE IF ANYBODY KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT FINDING HELP, PLEASE CONTACT US AT (562)786-0111

Today I also long to serve senior citizens who are totally neglected in our fast growing society where family and values are breaking up. My dream is to provide a peacful atmosphere and a home for those homeless and abounded senior citizens, inorder to do that I would need funding to purchase a land \construction and a running cost. My hope is that there is someone out there who will come farward to help me reliaze my dream project.

My son is now 15 years old. He was dx'd with Asperger's, ADHA, Touretts, and has

sensory intregration disorder. He has been in special ed, but for the past 3 years

has been main streamed into class. He just graduated 8th grade with 1 A'S AND 6 B'S

on his report card. He also rec'd a special medal on a writing assessment essay that

he did and only 4 kids in the whole class got it. The highest grade you could get was

6 and no one in the whole 8th grade made it. But my son and 3 other children made

the 5. I was so proud and he was too. We are worried about summer, because he needs

some extra help with tutoring so he does not forget everything he has learned this 

year. He performs better if he is getting some type of learning on a constant basis.

He is very good with computers and he would like to attend some type of classes but

we are unable to afford them. I was looking to see if there is some sort of grant for

children in his situation. He needs to be evaluated by a neurologist because he has

a tremor and no one in the area takes his medicaid. I work at a physicians office but

I have no insurance and I cannot afford to take him where he needs to go and pay.

Either way is good - the important thing is your participation. On Aidpage, people support each other by speaking out and by paying attention to each other - as simple as that.
