My mother and I share a house and are full time college students.  Trust me, if it were not for financial aid, we wouldn't be in college at all.  In the last two months, there has not been any work to do at our part time jobs, so we have no income.  We have bills that are coming due and nothing with which to pay them.  Our house needs a new roof as well as minor plumbing and electrical work.  The receptacle for our stove is not usable because it overheats and melts the plug, so right now, we are cooking on a two burner hot plate and using a toaster oven.  Our bathtub faucet leaks water like crazy (from the hot water side), and with nothing to repair it with, we turned off the hot water and now heat water on our two burner hot plate. 

We've looked at job listings in the newspaper and online and are trying to find some way to make ends meet.  So far, we haven't found anything that will allow the flexibility our college schedule needs.  If we don't keep our grades up, we lose financing for college. 

We know GOD is able and works in mysterious ways ~ often through the hands of Good Samaritans.  If you would like to help a Christian family pay their bills and make repairs to their home, please contact me.  Thank you in advance and may GOD bless you richly.

****** Update 11/26/06 ******

Everything is basically the same.  Still no work, no income, and needing help.  Our employer does not forsee any work for us in the month of December.  I've applied for a job as a night stocker at Lowe's and I've also picked up an application from a local retail store.  I'm going to apply at Wal-Mart as well.  We've checked with our local Community Action Agency about help with our heating, but they don't have any funds available at this time.  I will continue to check with them about assistance.  I'm believing something will come through...I have faith.  I would like to be able to buy a few Christmas gifts, but finances do not allow that at this time. 

Someday, I'd love to have enough money to be here offering help to others instead of asking for it.  If I had the money, I'd help everyone I could.  I know there are many who are in worse circumstances...at least I do have a roof over my head, food to eat (through food stamps), and clothes to wear.  Many don't have that...I'd love to be able to help them and many others.  Mark my words...one day I will.

** Update 12/20/06 **

We spoke with our employer a few weeks ago -- still no work and there will not be any more work for us to do with this company.  My mother and I both have applied at Lowes and she has tried to get on a list to take the civil service exam for the post office in our area.  I spoke with a DHR representative to find out who I needed to contact about employment there -- I have to take an exam and be placed in a pool of applicants.  I will be doing this ASAP.  There are a few restaurants in our area that may be hiring.  A new one will have their grand opening in January -- so we will both apply there.

Thank GOD that we are eligible for food stamps and are receiving those...if not, we'd be pretty hungry.  We are so grateful for what we have. 

I do ask that even if you cannot afford to help us in a monetary way, please, please remember us in your prayers. 

Thanks so much for reading and may GOD bless you.

Fear of Homelessness

I have been searching for a job, applying to anything I qualify for, for over a month, and I haven't had more than just an interview. My phone has been shut off for over a week, and it is becoming more difficult to get a job without a phone. I have yet to pay the electric bill, and rent will be due on the first. I don't have enough money to even cover rent right now. I am worried that I will be homeless come the 1st. I am scared to death at the thought of being homeless. When I had my most recent job, it was merely temporary, and I was being paid weekly. My temp agency was unable to find anything new for me, so I have been looking on various websites and in the paper. I have tried getting loans, but no one will loan out to someone who is unemployed.

at my wits end

I moved to Pa to get away from a unsafe marriage. I cant find a job and my sons school is a living nightmare. I am out of money and don't know where to turn. I am not a quiter but I am ready to give up and return because I have no other choice. What do I do?  I am NOT looking for a date or anything like that. I am just looking to be pointed in the right direction.  Where does a mom go for help these days???

We are losing everything. I need help

I am a single mother of three children. In April I found out that I needed surgery to remove my uterus because sists keep developing. When I informed my boss on the 12th he fired me on the 16th. I was told that even though I put in over 1250 hours since I was only employed for 10 months that it was not pursueable in court. They offered no form of severence pay and did not pay me for hours due to me. After that I had to have surgury to remove my uterus. Due to the pain medications I had complications. I have sinced healed from the surgery to find no job. I have been looking for months to find a new job and for whatever reason I have not yet found one. I have since been selling all of our family items so that we have a home to live in. A couple of weeks ago on our way home from the doctors office my only vehicle broke down and they said that the engine is blown so I would have to replace the engine. We have been stuck at home for weeks now with no way to get to any store to buy groceries or to get my son's medicine. My son suffers from extreme ADHD and a sleeping disorder to which he has to take medicine for his symptoms. We are now out of medicine with no way to get to the pharmacy. Throughout this time, my son's father has been hospitalized for his liver shutting down, and we have no way to get my son to the hospital to see his father.

I have prayed everyday for something to go our way. But everyday something else happens. I need help severely all of our utilities are about to be shut off and I fear that we are going to lose our home. I usually do not like to ask anyone for help but I have no where else to turn,  we need help.

I was just laid off from my job and my lease is up at the apartment I was staying at with my mom's friend. I am in a real bind. I have been sleeping in my car the last couple of nights because I have no other place to stay. I received a traffic ticket a couple of months ago and don't have the funds to pay it. The payment is due the end of this month. I have no job, no money, no gas and am feeling pretty depressed. It would be greatly appreciated if someone would lend me a helping hand whatever that might be and help me get back on my feet. Thank you so much.

My name is Jessica. I was in a really bad relationship for two years. The only good thing I got out of it was a beautiful little girl. Lexi is now three. In 2 years, we went through 6 different daycares, and none of them were good. I live in a small town, so the daycares that I have to choose from are few and far between. After the last daycare incident, I finally quit my job so I could stay home with my daughter and take care of her myself. I am very hard up for money right now, and my ex told me that if I ever try to get child support from him, that he will kill me. I don't see how I will be able to go back to work until Lexi starts school. I am currently starting my own business, but it's taking longer than I thought it would to get it going. If anyone can help me out in any way, I would be greatly appreciative. Thank you so much for reading my story.

Knocked Up

Hi, I'm here like everyone else, in need. I found this web site searching on google for financial aid for pregnant women. I thought this was a good idea at first but now, while writing this ad for help I feel foolish and maybe a little ashamed. Um, I'm pregnant, I'm 36 years old, the father of the child doesn't want anything to do with the baby.

I currently have no job or car. I'm not as bad off as it may sound or I may feel. I had a job lined up at an airline, I was going to be a  ramp agent, they were ready to drug test me and enroll me in thier class but now that I am pregnant I cannot take that job. I currently live with my Aunt, she lives in a 55+ community, I technically don't live here and after the baby is born, I really can't live here and have no other family members I can stay with.

I don't want a free ride, I'm not expecting someone here to send me loads of cash. If there really are wealthy people on this site looking for people to help, I guess I would ask for a car. Not a BMW or anything, a Subaru Justy or Ford Aspire would be great! If anyone has a car they are not really using and would like to donate it, I would be so appreciative. Um, I am in need of maternity wear, I don't need an entire wardrobe  just a pair or two of jeans and maybe a top. I don't want to ask for baby furniture because I really don't have a place to put it.

A job, I'v lived with my Aunt since the end of August. I have been doing volunteer work(thats where I met the fahter of the baby) and I have been doing background work as an extra and doing odd and end jobs for a casting co. doing office work and recruiting. If there is a person or family out there that lives in California, Nevada, Washington state or Arizona and would like a Personal Assistant/light house keeper/nanny. I am not only very capable and dependable but would be very open to that arrangement. I've been casually looking for Live-in Personal Assistant jobs for the last few months but now that I know I'm pregnant, I didn't know if a family out there would want someone who is going to give birth in seven months. I do not use drugs, I never have, I do not smoke (anything) I have no pets. I have a excellent driving record and can pass a criminal background report.

If you've even read this far, thank you. I'm sure there is a women on here with six kids, pregnant, no husband and no car. Surely she would need one more than me. I'm not here to compete. All, if any help I recieve from this ad will be what was meant to be.
