ok well, i feel stupid doing this but i dont really know what else to do and anyway its worth a shot right? Im 23 getting ready to turn 24 and when i was little I had bacterial menigitis and the medication they had given to me  supposedly did something to the enamel on my teeth buti dont know. So my problem is im literally spitting out chunks of teeth  and ive tried going to the college to get in the dentel program they have there but there's a really long waiting list, and im afraid soon wel frankly im not going to have any teeth left to fix. Im a single mother and im not currently working because my mother just got over a bout with cancer and I had to quit my job to help take care of her. I have medicaid but they dont do anything except pull teeth if your over 21, and im to young to be walking around without my teeth. I dont know, its just really embarassing, you dont want to smile, you dont want to be kissed, you definitly dont want to laugh, and frankly it really brings down your self esteem especially being has young as I am. I dont really know what i expect for anyone to do but I just need some help of some kind. Any ideas? Anything  I mean im at the point where I just dont care what it takes I dont want to live like this..  the problems that im having are abcesses constantly, cracked teeth, little nubs you know where the tooth has cracked and then got worn down over time and just a little hole there. my front teeth are decaying... ughh and i dont understand why , its not like i neglect them or anything. Any help is good help.

Hi, I am not proud of myself for asking for monetary assistance but I feel this is the last resort. This is a sincere plee for help from the public to donate whatever they can to my cause. My husband doesn't even know that I am doing this and would be very hurt if he knew.

My Story: We are a family of four (2 small boys; 1 year and 4 years) plus our 2 Boxer girls. We had been living in Chicago since 2004 when my husband was introduced to an opportunity to buy his own retail business in Orlando. He immediately tried to get a bank loan for the business but was declined because neither one of us was working at the time and had too much personal dept. So we both decided that he should take out Credit Card advances under both of our names to make his Dream Happen. He dropped everything including his family and at the time his son of 1 month with my blessing to go and pursue it. I stayed back to work and take care of the 2 boys and to sell the home 2005. In the meantime, the whole year of 2005 incurring more debt because I was the only one that was bringing in money for the family and eventually had to take on a 2nd and  a 3rd job just to make ends meet. My husband came home at least once a month to visit. During the whole year of 2005 there was no buyer for the home which was the most discouraging. After trying to sell for almost a year we finally decided in November to rent the home out and rent a home in Orlando.

Up-to-date:

We moved to Orlando in November 2006 to resume our life as a family again. I am still working 3 jobs and still the sole provider for the family because my husband has been negative every month for the business. Life has been a struggle for the past 2+years with the worries of not being able make the bills every month, and discussing if we can afford to take our children to see the doctors when they are sick because we don't have health insurance.

With the way things are going we will not be able to pay back our balances ever! That's why I am turning to the public to help donate/contribute to a good cause. Anything contributed will be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Hoping to stay afloat.

Hi guys,

I hope your day is going well.  It is hard for me to ask for help, but I do need it. I have been out on short term disability for an injury I got. I had surgery a month ago and it will be at least 2 more months before I can return to work.  I have used up my savings and short term disability only pays $50. a week minus taxes comes out to be about $46.  I need help in paying my rent and utilities also med bills are starting to stack up since I have to go to Physical therapy 3 times a week and at $30 a visit it adds up. I am only asking for about $1,000 to help out with my primary needs right now which is rent and utilities.  I thank you for the opportunity to ask you for help.

You can email me at Brianflguy@aim.com .

Thank you and have a Great Day.

God Bless

 

Brian

Are there any programs..

Are there any programs that help pay mortgage payments to stop foreclosure?  My husband works seven days a week trying to make ends meet.  I am a stay at home mom who has desperately been trying to find work I can do from home.  We have 3 kids.  Our house went into default a few months ago and my husband was working with the bank to do a repayment plan modification to help us get out of the foreclosure.  He did everything the bank told us to do.. and 3 months later (with no payments being made.. as the bank told us to wait while everything was being processed) all of a sudden they informed us they can not do the repayment plan.  That put us behind almost $10,000 with fees and all.  We put our trust in the bank, only to have them ruin it at the very last minute.  Literally.  If anyone knows of anything or anyway to get help, or even help for me to find a job (real jobs) that allows me to work from home, I would be forever greatful just to be pointed in the right direction.

Comment: I am living from paycheck...
Note: This aidpage was started as a comment on "GIVE A SMILE FOUNDATION"

I am living from paycheck to paycheck. I have dental insurance if you want to call it that. I need all my teeth whats left of them removed and dentures. I have been in pain for two years and sick from the absesed teet in my mouth. I have bad credit and nobody will give me a loan. I am willing to make monthly payment to anybody that will trust another human being in trouble. I work steady and I am not a dead beat or want something for nothing just somebody to trust me. Ken

I need help!

Not much to tell . Im very hard working and I do my best to live a good life. I pay taxes, car insurance medical insurance all to no avail. I recently was in a car wreck the other parties fault but they had no insurance so now my cars gone and I got charged 10k for a light pole my insurance refuses to pay. Then I got a dui my first time drinking in 5 years driving home from  a friends bachelor party. I then had my rental car hit and run and had to pay for that. I moved to florida after all that for a better job and they laid me off after only 3 months. I lived out of my bank account supporting 2 people for 2 months. I got another job and nwork at it 70 hours a week but its not enough to keep up. During all of this the medical problems arrised and the pain. Now im severally in debt and feel trapped. I can't go to school for featr of more debt but all the dead end jobs I can fuind arent enough to support me.

I am a 25 year old male stricken with unidentifiable medical problems. Im in constant pain in my groin , thigh and knee and have seeked medical help for over 9 months. All these doctor visits cost me 1000s even with insurance and although iI work 70 hours a week I cant keep up with all my bills. I recently got hit with a 10,000 dollar medical bill that my insurance refused to cover for a hernia operation so now I have no way to keep up. All told my debt is only about 18k but its killing me trying to keep up. I also am supporting my girlfriend as she is out of work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I need more tests and I need to eat. Im not asking for a handout and even with the pain im still working non stop but i need help. Money of course would be great but even a better job or a way to make more money. TRo be honest im a good person and I've made alot of positive changes in my life I dont want to go back to selling drugs  but im almost that desperate.

I don't even know how to start writing about myself.  I am very reserve and it is very difficult for me to reach out to others for help and guidance.  So for me to join this aidpage with the purpose of seeking financial guidance and/or assistance clearly states the financial situation that I am going through at this time.  For me it is not just paying debts but survival.  I was laid-off on August 2006 and have had no success with finding employment.  In the interim, I decided to get my Real Estate License and I am struggling to get that business going because of limited financial resources to market myself.  My financial situation is that I am in the brink of facing foreclosure, behind on bills, and no income to even survive on the basic daily needs.  I may have to move in with my daughter which is very difficult for someone as independent as I am to face the fact that I will need to depend on others.  If I could only raise enough money to survive 6 more months which is the average time for Realtor's to get their business up and running.  My monthly bills are an average of $2,000.00.  If anyone has gone through a similar situation and has some inside information on how I can get back on my feet, your input would be greatly appreciated.

Comment: I am a 32 yo mother of 2 and...
Note: This aidpage was started as a comment on "NEED DENTAL HELP...."

I am a 32 yo mother of 2 and I also have major dental problems. I have been to the dentist so many times since my first child was born that I have lost count. I have had root canals in the past that ended up being a waste of time and money because I no longer have those teeth. I have a partial in the front and am quickly on my way to dentures. I am so embarrassed and do not want to go anywhere. I have been making excuses to stay home every weekend, and my 7 and 6 yo kids do not understand why mommy don't want to go have fun with them. I am losing my teeth one-by-one and don't know what to do. My dentist does not even know what is causing this. Another dentist in this area gave me a quote of 20,000 to get my teeth the way they should be. I am so emotionally drained from all this and so tired of being in pain from broken, decayed teeth. If anyone has found anyone who will let a patient make monthly payments, please let me know. Thanks, Kim

Comment: OK here it goes, My name is...
Note: This aidpage was started as a comment on "NEED DENTAL HELP...."

OK here it goes, My name is Jared I am 31 and have a total of 16 teeth left in my mouth. I have been told that It will cost roughly 20,000 plus to fix my teeth and I cannot afford it. I have spaces between every tooth that are only getting bigger because I have no molars to keep them in place. I haven't smiled in almost 15 years and the last picture Taken I can't even remember. My self esteem takes a beating every time i open my mouth. I talk with closed lips so most people can't see my teeth and when I do laugh my hand goes right up over my mouth to cover the ugliness in my mouth. I need help and have nowhere to turn..If you can help me Change my life forever I would be forever in your debt.
