Hello my name is Amy and I am a single mom of three boys from Colorado.  I lost my job in April due to witnessing a near drowning of a small child last summer which led to severe PTSD and panic disorder.  I got to the child first and she was blue and foaming at the mouth and I was unable to perform CPR even though I knew it, I just froze.  We are about to be kicked out of our house, and have shut off notices for everything.  I have tried everything I can think of to get a loan but to no avail.  I have raised my boys on my own and have been through two very abusive relationships and am no longer in them.  I had a very good job but could not keep it due to the stress of the job on top of the many panic attacks I had per day.  I just need some help, I am willing to pay you back with interest.  The story is much longer than this but I will end it here for now.  Thank you in advance - Amy - Grand Junction, CO

I am a 47 year old man. I used to be a truck driver. My wife is 58 years old and worked as an administrative assistant. We are both disabled. My wife suffers from kidney failure. She had a transplant that ended up failing and is back on dialysis. We have been married 14 years.

An accident involving a drunk driver started the chronic pain conditions I now suffer. I have fibromyalgia, chronic pain syndrome, arthritis, myofacial pain symdrome, chronic insomnia and a host of other problems.

My wife collects regular social security  disability. I only get SSI. Someone between my mail box and social security office "lost " my file for 9 months.  Combined we still make less than a thousand a month. Our bills are over a thousand $ a month.

We are behind on rent, electric, Car insurance, cable and telephone. We have shut off notices. They all call us so often I want to scream. The van we drive is a 95 ford aerostar that is falling apart. We need tires and engine work done so we can keep the car running. My wife needs that van to get back and forth from dialysis. We have no public transportation in our area. We both need cloths desperately. Neither of us has bought a xmas, birthday, anniversary present in 4 years. W have exhausted our options for assistance from churches etc. We are about to get evicted because of the rent and I really don't want to be homeless again. Did it once , didn't like it.

Please help us any way you can
