I like to do volunteer work and help with children that lack basic needs.  I love children, but have none of my own.  I have helped out several single parent familes around the holidays for the past few years.  I've found that some families need ongoing help all year and not just at the holiday season.  I have been a public school employee for 22 years, and serve on a local church board.  I prefer to help someone directly without going through an organization.  I've done volunteer work before for organizations and was surprised at how much of the donated funding was spent on administrative expenses, and how little went to the recipients.   I really like the concept of Aidpage. 

Please e-mail me direct at..... Troublentaken@msn.com ... thank you!

I help people save money on healthcare.  I also help people work from home.

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.

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

My name is Francisco Lopez and I currently work as Director of Basketball Operations and Marketing Assistant for Notre Dame High School - Belmont, a private high school in the San Francisco Bay Area. I also occasionally work as a Public Address Announcer and/or Radio/Television Broadcaster for some local sports teams and programs. I have lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for many years and I still believe that the San Francisco Bay Area is one of the most beautiful places in the world, especially San Francisco since I was born here. I truly love San Francisco for its beauty and nostalgia.

What would solve my problem is finding employment.

My name is Mike. The company I worked for went out of business last year and I shortly found myself out of work. I had no degree and no real marketable skills. After much consideration, my wife and I decided we would tighten the family belt and I would go to school to get a degree in computer networking. I started school and at the end of the first term, (during finals) my wife stopped coming home after work. Eventually she never returned at all. She has a house in town and we see her once or twice a week. I have 3 sons; 6, 4, and 1. And i have been raising them and going to school and I recently was able to get a part time job that would allow me to work at night. My wife is finally watching the kids so that I can go to school and work, but the time she will give is very limited so I have had trouble finding work that would adequately support my boys and I. Through the use of my financial aid and loans and some help from my church and friends, I have made it since November. As we head into the summer quarter at school, I have no financial aid to help me pay my rent, and my job pays me about $100 a week. I am frantically trying to find work that will pay me around $1700- $2000 per month so that I don't have to have any help but I don't have enough to pay my rent this month. I can pay all of my other bills but I am short $750 on my rent.

Any help would be greatly appreciated by me and my boys, especially if it was a guide to a job. I have decided that I probably won't get to go back to school next year and that is okay. One day I will finish, but right now I must think about these kids and try to get a full time job that pays the bills.

My rent is $1000 and must be paid by Wednesday the 6th at noon.

Thank you for reading this and thinking about my family.

Mike

"Our only hope ls our children and olderfolk," Good God in heaven knows, the "powers that be" sure won't change their ways and help the backbone of america. Things went bad when we started moving Grandpa & Grandma out of the home into oldfolks homes. The kids lost precious teachings that are vital to life. The olderfolk lost their reason to be. All in the name of Bigger, better,faster and longer! We have a vast number of children lost in fostercare, on the street,and in broken homes. And with the great number of functioning olderfolk lets take some of the failing family farms and put them together? This is my idea. The children have not only lost the joys and lessons that Mom and Dad have no time to teach. But what is more, They don't learn how to be Human. Look around, We are in deep we must begin with our children so that when they are "The powers that be" they wil treat their familys with a bit more Humanness. One farm is all we need to start.   A.

 Mother of three need help until I can get back on my feet. I lost my job back in December but was hires as a waha agent with an online telecommunications provider. Iwas paid for training at my states min. wage. It averaged to be $164. for the 38 hrs. of training. I recived my check when I was suppose to and everything. Then the day comes I'm going to actually go to work and nothing. It loads everythng like they said it would in training but it don't recognize me. ANyway...to make a long story short. I have finally been able to log on but know there are no schedules. Imagine,that? Anyway... I have been looking for an outside job here but now my money has ran out. The gas company wants around $315. by Now,my rent was caught up until my landlord showed up yesterday and gave me an eviction notice b/c my rent check bounced. She has given me until Monday. My car note is a month behind. He is kind enough to work with me but I realize he has a business to run and needs his money just as well. I do have a pay pal account but I am not asking for anymoney be sent to me directly I will give you my account numbers and phone numbers,ETC. I wouldn't be asking but I have no where else to turn. I am feeling a little bit better today. I was seting here and a company I applied for about a month ago called and set an interview for Monday. So, even if you don't help me out financially.Pray for me that I do get this job. I might be homeless by the time I get it but at least I will have a way to get my kids back with a roof over their heads. Besides,if they cut off the heat we can't stay here anyway. It's like 33 degrees outside. I have contacted several area agencies but everyone seems to be out of funds. So,I officially have no where else to go. My mother already has a full house in her little two bedroom apartment. My Dad is MIA has been for a couple of years now. So,no one. Just pray my kids are safe and happy!!!!!!! 

I just found this site today and so I am still unsure how this works, and am still feeling my way around a bit. I am a single mommy of two little boys, who are my heart. I am also a full time college student, and sell on ebay as well. Right now I have no income, other than what I try and sell on Ebay. I have severe depression and anxiety attacks.. and it is difficult for me to find work. Although I do try and do what I can from home. . I am in great need of help with bills at the moment and simple things that are hard for me to come by right now such as diapers, toilet paper, etc..

I have posted a number of sites for others to take a look at that I have found to be helpfull, but they can only help so much and I am in great need at the moment.

We have plenty of food, so this is a blessing. But really need help to get my car insurance and plates, so i can take the kids to doctors appointments, etc..

We also have a heat shut off notice as well as an electric shut off notice, ( I can show copies to anyone willing to help us with this, or even contribute directly to the utility companies themselves) (I have sought help at community agencies, to no avail)

I have no one to turn to to ask for help.. So i am turning to this online community in hopes that someone can help... even if its jus a few dollars, it can add up to a package of diapers, etc..

My email and pay pal are sdelan05@gmail.com

Also I would love to find a female friend in my area that I can chat with and be friends with.. I have no friends in this small town..

If nothing else... a big blessing would be to find a strong community of female positive friends... someone that i can meet and we can uplift eachother with cards in the mail, emails, etc... I have a HUGE heart and value friendship very highly....I am the sort of person who likes to create lifetime friendships...

I have also been through many obstacles in my lifetime and survived much.. and so I can relate to what many people are going through, because I am either going through the same thing or have at one point in time in my life...

Thanks everyone... feel free to add me to your pages... I do not quite know how to do so myself quite yet... also if anyone could help me post my profile picture.. I am having a difficult time getting it to work.. thanks..

Oh Dear GOD...Please send me the means to provide for my family in a way that will satisfy us all... I am not looking to get rich... I am not looking for an employment opportunity... I am just looking for a way to support my family's needs while I pursue the direction that I feel GOD is pushing me towards... Writing a series of Faith-Building-Romance novels...

I feel this so strongly in my soul that HE is behind around and in front of this calling... and with my daughter's "special needs", I know that this type of work will allow me the freedom o be there for her everytime that she really needs me to be...

 RIGHT NOW I FEEL LIKE I AM TRYIG TO DIG MY WAY OUT OF THE GRAND CANYON WITH A TOOTHPICK...

"GOD please help me find a way o provide for my family that satisfies us all"

I need help with finances. I have arthritis and lupus and am deaf and had to leave my job.I am a single mom supporting my daughter as well as my disabled mom and disabled sister and I get no child support. I have borrowed my friends and family to the max limits. I am behind on everything and desperately need money to pay my bills. Im 3 months behind on the house payment and have used every ounce of savings I had put away.  I have a paypal account (anoraonebay@yahoo.com ) donations can be sent to, anything will help and thanks in advance.

PS

I am in the process of trying to sell many items on ebay, so if you cant bring yourself to just make a donation, maybe I have something you want? Please check them out, every little dollar will help, heres the link http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZanora_wolfe

Also, if you make a donation and want to see the bill you helped pay, just let me know and I will gladly share that info with you.

Thank you so much for your consideration,

UPDATE: I was thinking last nite I needed to be proactive in my own life. I feel like things are just "dead in the water", so to speak. I contacted Voc Rehab, who got me my hearing aids, cuz they said they would help me learn ASL (American Sign Language) too and were supposed to let me know something "soon"...well its been months and months, so I contacted them via email (its Sunday) but have gone one step further and contacted my local community college and enrolled in the ASL training program and I have found I qualify for financial aid and can get my courses free just based on my lack of income, so thats good news. Not so good news is its mid-session now, the courses I need are not offered over summer and that means I have to wait until fall term to get this moving....soooo again, not one to be discouraged, I have emailed the director of the program and asked her if there is anyway I can come "sit in" on any classes or some way to get private instruction so that I can do this sooner...like yesterday. So I am encouraged about this one thing in my life....      I was also thinking that if I go back to school, I still have all these crazy insane amount of credit card bills, medical bills, loans, etc who are knocking down my door....and in fact trying to kick me out of my door, since the house payment is 3 months behind so I checked with welfare....UGH I dunno where all those rumors and myths about folks sitting around "getting rich" off welfare came from....it may happen somewhere, but it aint happening in Mississippi thats for dang sure. On the TANF program, a needy person gets $110 for the first person and then $36 for the 2nd person and $24 for each additional person after that. So for myself and my daughter, we'd get a whopping $146 a month to live on....Im  very very discouraged on this point, because I was hoping that I could go back to school and finish my degree (ASL interpreting) and that would allow me to get a good job. BUT while Im in school full time, I was thinking maybe TANF would be enough to just "get by" and keep the bill collectors at bay until I was able to pay them myself....so much for that plan. Now Im at a loss for my next step.  I have a partial plan for school, but it does not help me keep myself out of jail for defaulting on these loans and it does not keep my utilities on or the house from being reposessed....

Any ideas, help, suggestions, loans, donations, thoughts & prayers, anything is appreciated

Hi

   I am  desperately seeking work,I  am not looking for anyone to hand me anything,but for someone to tell me about anyone that needs a hardworker like myself so that I can take care of myself and my handicap teenage son. I like problem solving, sorting mail, keying in numbers,I like a lot of work. I was sick the first 4 months of the year , but  my body has begin to heal tremendously, I have grown stronger due to faith,vitamins, and prayer.

    Now It has been 3 months since I have had an income, and now everything has begin to crumble, so if there is any one that has Job connections in Georgia, please contact me, before my son and I fall among the homeless. WORK ! WORK! WORK all I need is legitimate,decent work ..... soon ,very soon.

We are a family of 4 who is struggling with our rent! We have been trying to keep up but each month we pay later and later and the late charges get bigger and bigger (last month the late fees were around $400) which makes it difficult to pay the power, food, etc... We thank god we are all healthy! I just don't want to be homeless! I work full time (i am being garnished from a student loan from 1989?) and my husband was let go a little over a year ago. He's had a terrible time finding work. He does about 3 p/t temporary jobs (he's a singer/entertainer, cleans and replaces carpet, gets signatures for election ballots) but it only adds up to enough for the basics like food, GAS, kids clothes and shoes (they are 8 & 9 and growing like weeds).

Does anyone out there know how we can get caught up, get help agencies. We don't mind working for what we get. We just need a boost! I have to get to work now so I'll white more later. Please write if you have any ideas on how we can get help!! Thank you and God Bless! Dede
