Hi, I have a lot to add to update my Aid Page, I am now over 50+ face & brain surgery's ,I Just had another one,
Unfortunately Dr are running out of ideas. I have spent a lot of time in and out of the hospital , I am on home Intravenous Medications once aging, I have a port, , for the friend that do not know what that is , It is a  tube with like a bobbin pin on to that the tube goes to my heart and the "bobbin" like on a sewing machine is under the skin in my case a left sub calving. I push a needle threw the skin and then I am ready to go, It Like I am Plugging my self to the wall, "LOL"
 In the in of Feb Early March I have complications to cervical cancer,I had to have an emergency 9 hour surgery that unfortunately did not work, the Dr are to scared to the right surgery because of the bone infection and no Celia function in my face. There much more health wise,I do need Prayer over that However I am Very Thankfully for the Journey I have been blessed take, Please read the poem I wrote on my Blog,
"Simple Facts Of Life" sum it up how blessed  to learn on my journey Always Keep you head high be Proud of who you are, Remember we are only Stuck if we allow are self to be stuck in the spot we allow our self to be,
          May you Be Carried on An Angel Wings Always
              StacyAnn

I am a mother of 4 and critically ill with having well over 45 + face & Brain surgery's, not to mention all  the other surgery's and medical problems due to complications,
   The reason I am writing you is because I'm need some "Personalized" help in seeking a way That I can bring in a income to my family, I want to teach my children that it does not matter the situation that you keep on trying, I want to do Honest work at home that has no start up fees. I only get $350,00 a MT disability and no other help, So I need to find a job that I can work at home,.I have always ran my own company's . I had my own practice in Sports Medicine before I got sick then I use my Knowledge  in Homeopathic Medicine, To make Herbal scent moist heat packs and eye pillow, I made natural Soaps and Body Oils, and I even Made whole made Chocolates. My 4 children as well as myself would take it the flee market every weekend and sell what we had made all week. Around that time is when all the brain surgery's  started and 18 hrs a day of Intravenous medication, It was bit difficult hauling 4 children all my product and walking with in Iv tubes coming out my chest, what a site that was "lol" we managed for a while sadly the demand for he product became to great for me to make all by myself everyday in my kitchen,
  That started me studying gemstones after brain surgery, I spent 2 years studying gemstones, I did sell high end jewelry on Ebay , but  During a move we were robbed. "long story"  they stole Everything we owned I do mean everything and the insurance did not cover excuse they found a loop hole as usual. Now I have no other income, Please Know that I'm not a Victim I am a Survivor & I am very blessed I have the privilege to be with my children as they grow up when they said I would not live this long "what do they know" "lol". 
    I have learned many life lessons, I can't do much physically now but I do some kind of craft everyday with the younger children,We have done so many different craft. We draw paint, do clay, the favorite is making Jewelry but that is a treat because the pretty crystals are expensive, I can work on the Computer,
   I know the end and out of a how to run a company to having happy personal , they will do a better job, To satisfying the Hardest to Please customer, I keep my self up to date learning and studying the newest trend to the next big craft, I know how to do Advertising, I like being very creative, I know how to do import and export, In my journey, I have been blessed to learn many Life lesson along the way. I have been on the Top and I have been on the bottom. I will not give up and I will not ask for sympathy, I'm not different than anyone else, I just have a few Challenge but don't we all. The reason I won't sell on Ebay, Is because the market has changed and the fees are to high, There only a few ways to make money on Ebay now, One is to be a Huge company that is able to import the inventory, Or to lye, If I can't do it honest It's not happen.
       Oh my I can't believe I just told everyone all this, I guess it because I know if there an opportunity for me to become part of your team I would fill honored and privileged,
   Thank you for what you do and if you have any ideas, Please pass them my way.
        May you be Blessed 10 fold.
             Best Regards
                StacyAnn

I am currently a junior at UNCPembroke working on my BA in Criminal Justice with minors in Spanish and Sociology. Yes, you can teach old dogs new tricks! I am loving my classes and the instructors. I am a single mom and have 5 children, of which 3 still live at home. I am in desperate need of funds so I might be able to get a place to live... out of the projects. I finally got a car, making payments but I am living on only 300.00 a month right now. The oldest goes to Robeson Community College. The second to her is registering for the fall. The last is enrolled in the extension school for his HS Diploma. There has been a lot of struggle for me and my kids to try to get to school and work and appointments and get the bills paid on time. I know there are so many others worse off than we are, although our living standard is below poverty level. Because we are in school all of our assistance has been cut out, so I am making it on my weekend job. Our life was disrupted four years ago when I found out my then husband was molesting my girls, and pretty much brainwashed my son, so we were forced to change the route of our future. It's really a long sad story but we have tried to rise up from that tragedy and  move on. I hope funding will come soon. I have applied for all the scholarships I can because a house is not all I need. I also need money for school because costs are rising and I am one of many low income people trying to get an education and make a better life for my family. My kids are doing ok but are not mentally stable enough to make it on their own. They are still going through therapy. Can someone please help us get ahead????

i have been disabled since i turned 30 in 1989. I lost my dad, husband, and almost myself and daughter during a difficult delivery due to doctor's mistakes. I needed a C-section and did not get it. It caused so much damage that i still am having surgeries from that time.
 
I can not have more children and lost my husband cause he was angry and could not accept that. He wanted a boy. He went out one night got really messed up on drugs and alcohol and wrecked his step-van over an embankment of 1500 feet or more. It was publicized on tv and newspapers all weekend. He layed 6 hours till the road manager who was fixing the new highway found him on 'Sunday morning early about 7. He died in the hospital at 10 am.

My dad died 8 months before at Christmas time due to high blood presssure, diabetes, heart failures.  He was 53 years of age. He did get to hold his first and only granddaughter my Courtney.

I have no family the husband's family blame me and refused to have anything to do with us after the accident. I was taking care of our baby and they blamed me. What a joke. I have never met such mean selfish people.
Except my own 2 brothers and 1 sister who also do not believe I am ill with this terribly painful fibromyalgia , arthritis conditions ++++-I have struggled alone to raise Courtney and she is so special. she has a IQ of over 150--genius level.

I am hoping her education and dream of working with computers and becoming a teacher come through.
I have very little to help her with / she needs to learn to drive but this car is too dangerous.

I wish social security would not have taken our money away like they did when she turned 16. This has made no sense to me when that was all we had to live on. Life has been terrible since. She is 19 and She has tried so hard to have extra little jobs that has at least kept us from starving.

OUr government needs to seriously look at what they are doing to citizens of the US. when they take these programs and have these rules that hurt us and barely even allows us to live. I have felt i live in some poor country everone else on tv or whatever are trying to save. What about us --People who want to live as responsible lively adults but when disablity happens i was throwed away worse than a wild animal.

I just hope someone can help our life to become better so my daughter doesn't have to keep suffering because she has no one --no family to speak of that shows any love or care.

I pray the right person will read this and generously either donates or loans us a fair uplifting new beginning.

Please e-mail me   Love Lynette Helsel (Mock)

Pancreatitic Cancer has taken almost everything I ever had. I AM NOT A QUIETER and with equipment I have received I am about ready to begin working again.

It isn't easy forcing yourself when you are in pain 24/7 to be independent but I am beginning to do it but I still need help with 1 thing.

I need transportation desperately so I can work. I have an old work van I can sell for about $500 but it needs $1000 of work to pass inspection as now the steering went out on me. Even if it was working the MPG is only about 7 miles per gallon and because of the cost of gas it costs me over $10 just to go to my doctor 12 miles away once a week.

I will not ask for any dollar amount, just what anyone can spare so I can sell the van and get something that is dependable and cheap on gas. So please help me get transportation so I can be independent and work. There is no public transportation where I live and I have made it this far and with your help I WILL SUCCEED.

Still no help!  www.AidPage.com is full of needy people and no giving people.

Hello, I am a 36 year old woman with what one doctor called the worst teeth he had ever seen.  My problem is that my upper jaw grew side ways taking my face with it.

This can only be correct through Orthodontics and Surgery at the tune of $45,000.  Of course, this is way out of my budget.  Since I was not raised to feel sorry for myself I learned to hide my smile and go on with my life.  All in all, I don't see myself as a person with really bad teeth unless I look in a mirror or at a picture of myself.

Every once in a while I get hopeful that I can have a nice smile.  I hear about smile makeovers and think, "Maybe, someone can give me one."  It would look very good for the people who volunteer to help me.

I cannot count how many times I have looked at Before and After pics on websites and think, "God, I wish I had the teeth before.  They are so much better than mine."  I am offering a challenge to an Orthodontist and an Oral Surgeon:  Is anyone willing to tackle a career Orthodontics challenge?

Hello there! I am 29 and married to a wonderful man. I am currently a stay at home mother . I have two children ages 4 and 12. My husband is serving in the United States Army and we just moved to Ft. Bragg, North Carolina. My husband is 27 and joined the military right out of high school. He was active for 4 yrs., then went National Guard. He went to Iraq and returned June of 2006. He realized how much he missed his military career and re-enlisted. He is going back to Iraq in Oct. of this year. This was our first time moving and living on our own. We started with basically nothing. We had to get what we could and it has put us a little behind on some of our bills. I am looking for someone to help us get back on our feet. He worries so much about our bills and I want to clear things up so he does not have to worry about that and his upcoming deployment. He is a wonderful guy and LOVES his country and his job. One thing that got us behind is when he re-enlisted full time Army they dropped his rank, which meant a cut in pay. We are sincerely doing the best we can and would greatly appreciate anything that will help. If anyone can help please contact me at crissi31021@yahoo.com. GOD BLESS you all.

One feature I really like is that the early people who help build the company get greater rewards (which is why I am telling all of you about it). Click on this link to go directly to AGLOCO www.agloco.com/r/BBCH4356  and join my network. YOU MIGHT HAVE TO COPY AND PASTE THAT LINK.

ITS FREE AND EASY TO JOIN. ALL U HAVE TO DO IS SURF THE INTERNET AND REFER OTHER PPL TO JOIN LIKE I JUST DID! I SWEAR IT WORKS, IT HELPED ME PAY MY LIGHT BILL IN TWO DAYS!!!!

    Hi, My name is Karrah I am 27, and am a recently single mom of two as of  June 1st, 2006. I have  left my abusive husband of eight years, five of those unmarried, and am in need of assistance. Quite frankly, I have no idea what I'm doing one minute to the next when it comes to asking for assistance. I am looking for grants for  living expenses, a car, clothing for my children and myself.  If any body has any information about 100% free grant opprotunites and they are not just trying to get me to visit a website and pay money something i dont have, to see what i'm asking to see. That would be great. I have been a housewife for the past four years and have not looked for a job just yet because of my two and four year olds, fear of me leaving and the unstableness of our situation. I have pride and this is a very diffucult  for me to do, asking for help, but in the end my children are the most important people more important then my pride, and I'm asking anybody who can help to help me, locate this information, or instruct me on where and what I need to do. I know there is grants out there and I would qualify for them but, I dont have the money to buy a book. I promise to make a pledge, when I get stable enough to afford it. I pray daily for God's help in this matter and know with his guidance we will survive. He led me to this website, and I have been looking for this website since the moment I left my husband. So, please help with any information you may have, however small, it is greatly appreciated and god bless you for taking the time to at least read my pledge. 

Thank you and God Bless,

I was living in Elizabeth City, and in 2000 I moved to Roper to live near my mom and my stepdad. I bought me a piece a land and a trailer. I took care of my husband and then I had a Aid come in and help me, one day I was gone and he wheeled hisself in the kitchen and got a knife and the Aid had to get it from him, she took he to a mental place, which I have been going to Mental Health, for anxiety and depression, back to him. So, the people from Mental Health, wanted to put him in a Mental place in Greenville, N.C., so they did and there is were he stay I guess a month and then they wanted to send him home, but I told them, that I could not handle him anymore. So, he is in a Rest Home, I have not seen him in 7 years, our marrigae was not that good, he cheated on me. She was a friend of mine, she got kick out where she was living, so she did not have anywhere to put her stuff, so I said we got plenty of room , you can bring your thing here and we will hold them for her tell you find a place to go, and this was 1991, so my husband was seening her behind my back, but I find out and I lefted him, for about a month and the I went back to him. So, I moved on with my life, and it has been hard, I don't get that much money, and it takes everything I got to pay my bills. Dec. 4, 2006, I got in a car wreck, I lost my car, I had a car behind me and I was going to make a left hand turn and they past me on the left hand side, they near hit the back of my car, they hit, from the back door to the front door, took my mirror off. All they got was failing to reduce speed, they did not get hurt, but I did, my back and my neck is mess up,and my right eye is messed up and my left leg, from my hip to my knee is messed up, I have to go to a Chiropractic, but that is not helping, I have had a Migraine since May 3, 2007 and it want go away. I got a lawyer, but it is taking awhile, I got to go to my doctor for my shoulder, I had surgery awhile back, but when I got in the car wreck, it did something to it, I will find out May 31, 2007. And the bad part, I had to buy a car, that I have to start it with a scewdriver, not all the time but most of the time and I got lot of doctor I have to go to.I did not get the value of my car, so I bought a car for $ 600.00 and it is 1993 and I had a 1997 and it was a good car. Well, there is more of this story, but this is about all I am going to write.....all I got to say I am having a rough time. And with my credit I can't go and get a car, which I need a car to get back and forth to my doctors. I do have a boyfriend, I took care of him for 2 years, when he did not have money coming in, I payed for is doctor bills and his medicine, and that put me behind....he is disable and he lost is job, but he got is job back, but he is out on medicain, and I know he gets good money, because he worked at Ford Planet, my dad work there too. I got behind on my bills when he did not have money coming in, I had to play the light company back $800.00 dollars back and I did it myself, it was hard, because I was paying to light bills. Now he gets payed from Ford and I make him give me $400.00 a month and I get SSI and SS, but is is not alot of money, I get $ 643.00 a month, I have the light bill, trailor paymont, Ins on my car, house phone, celluar phone which all my doctor call me on, water bill, my internet...that is cheap, but putting gas in my car is not cheap, which I got alot of doctor to go to, because of the car wreak. My boyfriend, don't think he needs to get me anymore money, he gets payed every week, and in June he is going on a fishing trip, that is $200.00 dollars and you know he is going to be spending more, I ask him at the begin of this month, I need his help on bill, because, I missed up and had to pay the bank $400.00 dollars back, thats because I did not have the amount of money in the bank and I needed to pay my light bill and my trailor payment and I forgot about my Ins. they take out. But what makes me mad, he goes and spends alot of money and I know it is his money, but I have gave him a place to live, and I hate to ask for help, then we get in a arguement. He tell me that it is all my doing, that he is not the one, that screw up my checking account, I know I screw it up, but it is had sometime, to keep everything straight, he wants me to help with his stuff and I can't, it is hard to keep up with mine. I feel like he is using me, I have kick him out, some many time, but he will not leave and I don't want to call the law. He has not hit me, I got a bad temp. and he know that. He is nice to everybody else and help them. I just ask him for money and I got to hear alot of mess. Right now I need my light bill and trailor payment payed and help getting a use car, that I can depend on.I got 4 dog's I call my baby's, I do not have any kids and can't have any, but I had my dogs before my husband got sick....I got a male he is 15 years old and I had to take him to the Vet, it cost me $ 300.00 dollars and I am still paying on that. I don't like to ask for help, but I need help, I can't get a loan, can't  afford it ,I am 4 months behind on my trailor payment.....So, I don't know if a loan is good for me, but I don't know what to do. This is my story.... I hope you read it and tell me what I can do?  Thank you. And I write poems....I got 4 poems in the International Library of Poetry, I wish I can go somewhere when my poems....I got 18 poems that I have wrote.....here is one of my poems....

You never turn your back on me.

You helped me if I got in trouble.

Dad I miss you.

I know you our watching over me.

I kept my promise, I still got your dog, ''Champ''.

Dad I miss you.

I miss your smile and your laughing.

I miss you calling me everyday.

Dad I miss you.

I miss kissing the top of your head, and saying ''I love you''.

Dad I miss you.

Someday I will see you again.

I will give you a big hug and tell you I love you and miss you.

  I lost my job last year. I lost the home we had and move in with my sister hoping that together that we could get back on our feet together. My sister fell last year and broke every bone in her foot so as you see things have not gone as well as we had hoped. We are three months behined on the rent,about $2000,and $1800 on the electric bill. I'm looking for a job but not much around here. My sister found a job,but I've had no luck so far. She is paying everything she gets to the landlord,but that only keeps us from getting further behind on the rent. So the electric bill gets further behind. We are not looking for a hand out,but a HAND UP! If anyone can help we would greatly appreciated                                                                                                                                                    My daughter has joined the Navy and leaves in Sept. and I don'thave the money to buy the things she need to go.

About 4 weeks ago my girlfriend and I found out that we have a wonderful new life on the way. I currently am working full time with freelance in my spare time. With all of our credit card debts and student loans we have, it feels like there is no way we are gonna be able to get through this financially. I really do not know what this site is about but I am praying that this may be a way to get help or directed to resources that may want to help. I am also a web designer and would be love to build a website for anyone that can help.

I work and go to school. I'm trying to make a good life for my little girl. I thank God she is too small to know mommy is having trouble paying bills. I hope she can understand no birthday party in a couple of weeks. I have about 3 months of school left and will have a degree in medical billing and hopefully then start physical therapy aide program. I was able to get grant money for school. But right now I need help getting things cuaght up. Me being sick has put me about $2500 behind on my bills. It's to the point now where I question what is the most important thing to pay. I am back to work but still have to have surgery, which I will be paid while I'm out for that. I just need help getting things caught up now. Any prayers would be helpful if nothing else can be done to help.
