"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.

Today I also long to serve senior citizens who are totally neglected in our fast growing society where family and values are breaking up. My dream is to provide a peacful atmosphere and a home for those homeless and abounded senior citizens, inorder to do that I would need funding to purchase a land \construction and a running cost. My hope is that there is someone out there who will come farward to help me reliaze my dream project.

I was injured on my job almost 1year and 4months now.I have an torn legiment in my leg.

I hired this attorney, and all she do is give me the run around.I seen 2 ortho for my leg, one is the company doctor and the other was my lawyer doctor, the one she picked. all said nothing is wrong with my leg. even though my mri states i have a torn legiment, but the doctor feels  i dont need surgery, i ask one doctor what about my pain, he says to take tylenol like it was a joke. the other doctor claims i was to old for the surgery..which im 42 years old. i had to wait almost 8 months before i was able to see an nurogist, and that was the one my lawyer picked, he says nothing is wrong with my leg...the thing is all he did was hit my knee with a tool and gave me a clean bill of health, now they kick me off worker comp. i called my lawyer for a slip saying i no longer get worker  comp. she got mad and yelled at me.. now im  doing job search because the job refused to take me back, but they rehab me to find jobs,but found none so far..i have children to take care of,but i have to try and work on my leg i know i cant stand for too long..what can i do besides medicating myself for pain? trying to find another lawyer to take over my case, or at least look at it...in may they wanted me to settle my case or come up with an amount...its not about the money, its about getting the proper medical treatment for my leg because my leg still hurts and at times i can hardly walk... i dont want to wake up years from  here and be crippled, thats my point... i think it a shame how lawyers and doctors work together trying to help each other...where is the justice for all...in united we stand is full of craft...in united we fall..

I am a single mother of two beautiful children 3yr old daughter and 16mth old son. I am desperate for help; I am homeless with nowhere to go. Social Services have told me that there is no assistance what-so-ever available for my family. No medical, no emergency housing, nothing. I was told it was due to budget cuts. I have called every where I could find, and am told the same thing each time - "I'm sorry, there just isn't anything we can do to help you." I receive no child support (never have) and have absolutely no where else to turn. I am now down to absolutely nothing. I just used the last bit of change I could scrounge up to buy some cereal and milk. I have been on my own and have supported myself since I was 14 years old. I have always worked hard, volunteered my time, and tried my best to provide a stable life for my children and myself. I understand there are ups and downs in life, and that everything makes you stronger, but this is killing my soul. No matter how bad my life has been, I've always kept my faith and tried my best to stay positive and "keep on keepin' on", but now I'm becoming so weak. I feel like I'm falling down a dark black hole and trying to grab hold of anything, but just keep falling as there isn't anything to grab. I'm afraid that once social services find out that I have no where to go and am unable to support my children they will take my kids away from me. They are still aware of what’s going on with their mommy, and why we keep moving around. I've tried to hide all of this from them to try and protect them. They are so young and innocent and I hate myself because of all of this. I pray to God everyday and night for a miracle. Please, please, from the depth of my soul HELP ME!

I am a single father who is desperate at ths point.  All have fallen apart and we have lost everything.  We only have a few personal items left and we are homeless.  I cry at night when i think of how my daughter is suffering because of me.  We are not elible for any state aid and we have no one to help us.  If anyone out there can be compassionate enough to help us , I will truly appreciate it and will pay if forward to someone else once I am able to.
