I always wondered if a place like this exists. I am a 29 mentally disabled female. I am a single mother, who had a nervous breakdown, 2 years ago because, my daughter was raped. I had a very great job as a medical biller, but always lived with my mom. Then when my daughter was victimized and we were threatned by the suspects friends, we had to move. Shortly after, the rape, I had the nervous breakdown, and had to resign from my job, for one year I was making it off of 99.00 a week, that her dad payed in childsupport, and finally, after one denial social security, considered me a loony case. In the meantime, the pressure on my child and me to drop the case, because, the suspects friends, were threatnening us, running back and forth to the police station, and in between counseling sessions,  we had to make an emergency move. We may have still  been at my mom's or hurt even, if it wasn't for my best friend getting fatally stabbed on 6-24-05. Of course with him being dead and all the apartment was vacant, only one problem, I couldn't give 3000.00 for the apt up front. The landlord was a great guy, and let me have the apt. 3 bedrms. for 1200.00 a month. Great, another problem that's my whole socialsecurity check, plus 3 weeks of my child support. I applied for foodstamps, they only give me 114.00 a month. I don't know what to do. Sometimes we don't have food, and all the time the only thing I can afford to pay in full is my rent. I feel like we're going through the rape all over again!!! If anyone, anyone can help me, I promise your help will not go unnoticed or appreciated.

Family of 4 in need of rent and bill help. Husband got hurt on the job and they are not paying him

I lost my job due to turning in someone for stealing.

Please help us we need of help with for bills and food.

Never had to ask for help befor Please any one we have to teenagers to support. 

My husband is totally disabled and unable to work. I have a lot of health problems, and can't work. I tried to get SS disability, but was turned down because I haven't worked since 1999. We moved to take care of my father, and when he had to go to a senior home, we had to borrow against our car to pay his first/last month rent. He has since moved into a lock down facility elsewhere, due to my brothers. We did not get our deposit back and we're still paying loan on car off. Car was hit on May 01,2007 and we've been told it is a total loss. Wreck was not my fault, but other driver. His insurance company is trying to force us into a settlement, that I don't think is fair. They also informed me on 05-08-07, that I have until 05-11-07 to accept, clean out car of my belongings, and turn rental car in. This car was the only source of transportation we have, and I don't see how we're supposed to get check( unfair amount) from them,pay note off, and find another car in 3 days. We've gotten behind the 8 ball in our bills, and can't get out. Our power is off, landlord is threatening to evict us, water may get turned off soon, and now this wreck happened. I've been having back, chest, and left elbow pain since wreck, but not sure if insurance will pay it since I didn't report it? We have 2 teenagers who have gone through all of this bad luck with us, and I would like to get things fixed so they don't have to go without things they need. PLEASE  HELP with whatever you can.

Hello, my names Tamara, I live in CT, I'm 21, married, Mother of a baby whose almost 1, and we are hanging in by a thread.

In July of 2006 I quit my job, and a month later I found out that I was pregnant. My then fiancee and I scrambled up every penny we had to move in with my Sister accross the country, and instead of helping us she squeezed almost every last penny out of us (2,000 my fiancee got from a car accident), my fiancee, soon became husband (we got married sooner because Medicaid would have tried slamming him with child support, which wouldn't of helped us at all) got a job at Wendy's that only lasted a month, thankfully Medicaid paid for the birth of our child and all our other Doctor bills, soon after, with $500 left, we moved in with my Mother.

My husband, with no where else to turn joined the Army, and left to Basic Training only two months after the birth of our Son. There, he had a seizure, and we have no idea what caused it because they didn't bother finding out why he had one, but rather got him out as soon as they could, after dignosing him with major depressive disorder (which is a unipolar disorder).

Because of my husband being medically discharged from the Army, my Mother gave us one option, move out immediately... so we were forced to use a good chunk of his 1 month paycheck from the Army to move back to CT and live with my husbands parents, here we had to buy baby stuff (only necessities: crib, clothes).

Here we got on Medicaid again, on WIC, but can not get Foodstamps until my husband is 22 because we live with his parents (which is in June), and our case worker has us running in circles to get Cash assistance (we tried to get it for 6 months straight, he kept losing our paperwork, and we finally gave up last month).

I have not for the life of me been able to find a job. I stood in a huge line when a big factory opened around my area for 5 hours in hopes to get a job in January, on top of applying to tons of other companys aswell, and I haven't heard back from anyone.

We made $1,700 last year, and we are running my husbands parents in to more debit daily, we got $683 back this year in taxes, and due to having to buy my Son some clothes (a few on Ebay), and a new car seat, food, diapers, etc, we are already down to $450.

My husband, because of his major depressive disorder was told by a Doctor to apply for Disability, we are in process of doing this, he is at the step of seeing their medical professional next week...

My hopes are to get my GED and go to culinary school within the next two years, to clean up this mess our lives has become... but I don't know where to begin with loans, grants, etc. I need in total about $30,000 for one year of culinary school to get my advanced culinary degree at CT Culinary Institute (my dream) or if I have to Lincoln Technical... and even then, I would have to take a bus (if they run to the areas) because I don't have a vehicle or my license yet either.

My Mother-in-law is working herself to death working two jobs, my Father-in-law is disabled and needs to get a total knee replacement, and is trying to get on disability as well. My parents-in-law are in danger of losing their home, therefore, we could become homeless at any point. We usually only have $30 - $40 a week for food for 5 people.

I need lots of advice. Our lack of financial stability has become a huge strain on my marriage. I'm tired of crying myself to sleep. I'm so depressed and afraid to seek help for it because of my husbands condition. I'm deathly afraid of losing my Son. I don't know what to do or where to turn. I wish we could just win the lotto, but, we all know that's not going to happen, and I don't have the money to waste trying either.

I will accept as much help that can be offered. I don't want to ask for money, but if you want to help in that manner (will go to nothing but baby supplies, food, bills, clthing, etc), please send it to my Paypal address tamwalt@gmail.com, which is also my contact email address if you want to contact me. Advice, links, anything else is very appreciated as well!

This is very hard to write, but I'm out of options at this point and don't know where else to turn.  I'll try to just state the facts of our case and not become emotional.  Please bear with me.

I'm 56, my husband is 74, and we're both citizens of the U.S. of A..  We both worked hard and paid taxes up until recently.  That's when we lost our home and our business in the Delta in the 1998 floods.  We had some meager savings which my stepson took to pay for his divorce, leaving us completely broke.  Since then we've been struggling to survive on my husband's Social Security, but we're failing miserably.

Currently we have no heat because we can't afford $1250.00 or more to fill the propane tank.  We can't afford decent groceries, so we're both suffering from malnutrition.

My husband now has Alzheimer's Disease and I'm his sole caregiver.  Phone messages and emails to local agencies which are supposed to help people in this situation have gone unanswered.

Additionally, I desperately need medical treatment for a heart condition as well as dental care to repair several broken (and very painful) teeth.  The local hospital refused to treat me during a heart attack because I couldn't give them a $300 down payment.  (This is supposed to be illegal, but apparently it's now condoned where we live.)  None of the local doctors or dentists will even make an appointment to see me because I have no insurance.

We'd truly appreciate any help that you can give us.

We are desperate! My husband and I have six bueatiful children and have always been able to provide for them without any help. We do drywall and paint and it has been good to us until now. After hurricane rita hit work exploded but so did the immigrant population and tons of people from out of state looking for construction work. With the area flooded with so many, prices dropped dramatically and we have steadily dropped ours in a desperate attempt to keep our rent paid and groceries on the table. Admiting defeat has been extremely difficult but here we are selling our tools for grocery money. My husband has a solid job offer in his hometown but it is a ten hour drive from here. It may as well be a million. We are struggling with groceries, utilities and rent, moving that far flat broke with the kids and no place to go when we do get there makes even a good job offer sound like fairytale. We just need to be able to get to to our second chance, we'll take it from there. Any help is apprecieated more than you can imagine.

I have been out of work now for more than 6 months, waiting for my diability to start. I have three children and my ex is not paying support. I have done everything the government requires but I am still stranded. I have borrowed from everyone I can to make ends meat and now everything has run out. I am three months behind on rent, and got the intent to evict today. They will kick us out of our home this Friday if I don't pay him the three months rent. I have had to make decisions to keep on the lights and put food on the table rather than pay the rent. I just don't know where else to go for help. If anyone has any help they can give it would be greatly appricated by my children and myself.

Thank you,

April
