I am seeking any type of scholarship or Grant that might assist me in going back to school and furthering my career to better my life.. I have struggled so much in the past 10 yrs that I have come to the conclusion that the only way is to get a higher education and further my career in Nursing.. I want to also give back to the Medical Field what was taken from me 10 yrs ago.. I lost a child to Truncus Arterious.  She was 14 days old God Bless her.. Please I am desperate in my need.. I have a defaulted student loan due to a bad divorce.. I am trying everything I can..

I am starting over without much.  I am in fear of a man who has threatened to harm me.  He was prosecuted and has been released from jail. I could use any help out there. Even if just a prayer.    My life has been turned upside down and I am desperate for my wellbeing.  Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers.  any help would be extremely appreciated.  I recently had to change my phone # and make it unlisted.  My biggest hardship right now is not having a vehicle to get back and forth to work.  I live in the Pacific Northwest where the rain will start soon and without transportation (the bus doesnt run to my job) I will have a hard time making it.  My  Ex was the moneymaker and I took care of the home.   I just need a little help getting started.  I know there are good things ahead for me if I can just catch up a bit.  Money...advice...prayers...an old beater car to donate...anything.  Thank you for hearing me.

Rent; Ok. Don't know what to say. Don't have or can't make the house payment. This was my first house. I bought this with a very pretty girl with hope of fixing it up into a home. Wow! I had also found a decent Job. My co-workers told me I had it made but, I have never that lucky. The mother in law moved in to rent as well with hopes of speeding up the renovations. I should have known then something might be up. 4 months in to the house with repairs my best friend discovered breast cancer. The house repairs were becoming a real pain and the job I had was full of work place bullying & sexual harassment.

 A year later I got to watch my best friend die from over treatment of chemo on Xmas day. It was horrible; I ended up depressed, full of grief & guilt. I really thought she might beat this thing. I promised her I would fix the house up for her to com home but, she never came home. I was out on sick or FMLA but, shortly after returning I was fired for some made up reason. I lost my un-employment too. I felt screwed over but, I was to down with depression to fight for my rights so I just tried to move on and find work. I could not find a job. The house has seen better days. I did try at one time to sale it but, too many repairs needed.

The mother has been here and floated the bills while I look for work, deal with issues of PTSD, and try and continue fixing the house up in memory of my beast friend - her daughter. No luck with getting a job for a number of reasons, Jobs out sourced to India, China, credit not good enough, no college degree, out of work longer then 6 months and the list goes on. I did fight the employer but, did not get my job back from them even though I proved my case. It opened the door for others to fight. I am glad about that. I have also fought the Appraisal over the current house condition and had the house tax dropped to about 40,000. It's also listed in poor condition with them.

I have tried to date, thinking maybe I could find another person with the same spirit or ideas about fixing the house up etc. I have looked on the Internet most of the time. This experience has been a nightmare. I have been attacked many times. I won’t go in to that here. Let’s see, that’s about it.  I loved my ex and I have grown to love being around her last dream, THIS HOUSE.. There is a peace here at times that I can’t describe. Her little dog is still here and I am frankly happier with her memory then any person I have ever meant or run across on the Internet. 

I have run out of options, the mother in low is bankrupt and angry. I wanted to start a business and continue living, fixing up the house, etc. but I just can't make the 1300.00 a month and the utilities and either can the mother in law.  If any knows some way I can lower the house payment down through some type of interest only payment or some way I can survive here I would be grateful to know. I owe about 125.000 on the place here in Richardson. It is a sore spot on the block but, if I can just survive here, I know I can fix it up and help it to fit in with the neighborhood. I know how to do it in my best friend’s interest and spirit and it would be a nice place to see.  I have not been much of a people person but, I have a lot of ideas for making money online, just no capital to get any one of them off in enough time before I end up on the street. Sorry about the writting skills. Thanks for reading.

 Hello. I'm looking for help. I'm a single mother of 2 - a 6 year old boy and a 4 month old boy. When I found out I was pregnant with my last child, I was told I couldn't stay in the home I was in anymore, so I had no choice but to move into my mother's home. I've been trying to make a new life for my children and myself, but so far, I've been unsuccessful. If you can help me in any way, please do so. IT WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!!

Currently i'm a 34 year old single mother of two girls. I'm from New York but currently reside in Rhode Island because of marriage now divorced looking to start new in another state. Because of what i want to do, which is open a full service spa, I was looking to move to the DC area or probably the surrounding states Maryland or Virginia. I found out that a cosmo school (Dudleys) that i would like to goto is there...so i feel that would be a great opportunity for me. Since I know what direction i want to go I'm currently researching different services that might help me open my business when im ready. So if anyone reads this I hope you can give me some direction in which way to go....Have a blessed day

A WOMAN WITH DREAMS

I am a mom of three wonderful kids.I am in a abusive marriage and trying to find a way out.I am only 30 and on disability so even with child support i do not know how i am going to afford it alone.My kids deserve a better life and i can't stand the thought of losing them.I found a house in another county and do not need a security deposit if i clean it first,but i do need utility deposits and everything to start over. The local charities wont help because they say i am not a local resident.I move on the third of next month and worried my kids will have nothing.If anyone knows of any help out there please let me know.

I have been searching for a way to get myself back to a free of debt place. I was widowed in 2003. My life fell apart. I had to sell everything, house, cars etc. I got enough money to "barter" a bill down from a credit card company. I got zapped with taxes on that! I have no job. I did for awhile but I can't make it. I have been trying to start a business and have been shot down.

I have now lost a small house I loved and went through bankruptcy. I just want to start over. I finally found a great love of my life and we can't get married till I get this mess cleared up. My 17 year old want to go to college.

I am an artist. I have been doing graphics for the last 20 plus years and now I have become a dinosaur, because I can not keep up with all the up grades on the graphics programs. I worked for a embroidery co. franchise before my husband died and I even learned to digitize then the owner of the store I worked for went belly up.

Every corner I have turned I have been slammed down. No one will give me a loan and I have been doing art work making fairies and fairy house that are awesome and I can't get out there to promote myself.

I need $5,600 in taxes and $2,600 for a emergency dental bill. Once I get these things paid off I can see more clearly, because right now... I understand how some people have curled up and died or take their own lives over the walls we have met to get back on track. There are alot of people out there that want your money and not enough to sit down with to help you through it.

My fairies were created out of spiritual asking for what you want from the universe and you will get it and it is true you will. I have made alot of people happy and I know I can make alot more happy. I ask myself for what I need and want. Yes, I do get some things and I hope the ultimate quest for paying bills off can come true.

I am asking now to the universe...I need help and I feel I am worth it!

I have to come up with 165.00 to cover my rent by the end of today. I get paid Tuesday and will gladly pay someone back.  But my landlord wont take a check and I have no where else to turn. I need it in the next 2 hrs. Please I am good for the money. I am starting over and it's hard getting everything together all at once, it is a slow process but I just need this one thing to help. 

Well where does one begin to ask for help...Its funny I have always been the one to reach into my wallet and the first give without question.  Well now the shoes on the other foot and I am the one asking ... I moved here a few months ago and still unable to find any work..   I have gone on many interviews, and yet I have not gained any employment.  I don't want to have to go on welfare to make it so I am moving where there are many job oppertunities So I am happy to say that I have found a roommate and I have several interviews waiting on me when I get there on ...the only problem I have is I need GAS money...With the gas prices rising its going to cost me a little over $350 dollars.  I believe in paying it forward.... so what ever you can send ...please send... Every dollar counts... yayame1226@yahoo.com ..Thank you for helping me ..

     My marraige has been falling a part for the past 5 years, and because of this I have been forced to go thru some very rough times.  I am raising my 14 year old daughter and this has all been very, very hard on both of us. Last January I lost my job and was forced to go on state aid while looking for another one.  However it was not enough to pay rent.  My ex helped with the difference until he lost his job in June. So in July and August I was unable to pay the full amount of my rent. At the end of August I started working again, I love my job and I am very good at it. The pay is decent, however no sooner did I start there, when the Franchise Tax Board of California started garnishing my paychecks for back taxes. I was asked to move out of my apartment by the end of September. But my landlord did not evict me.  I stayed in a motel for the first month but it was too expensive and I could not afford it. A friend said my daughter and I could stay there and my cats could stay in the garage.  So we have been there since.  On January 31, my last check will be garnished and by February 15 I will be at my full pay again.  My friend lives in a house his mothers owns and she has now said my daughter, my cats and myself have to be out by this weekend January 20,21.  I am so close to being able to stand on my feet and make a life for my daughter and myself. Just 1 month, after 5 years of hell. But I now find myself with no where to go for that month and no where to keep my cats,  I don't have enough for a down payment on a place yet and my credit is not the best so I cant just move in anywhere. I am asking for one time assisstance to be given the chance to start again. Something to help this last month, somewhere to stay, and somewhere to keep my cats, they were there for me when I was at my lowest and I hand raised them since birth, I have 2. Can someone help me, advise me, get me into an apartment that allows pets in Castro Valley Ca?  Give my daughter and I a chance for a happy life starting over.  Thank you,

I have a very special friend of mine, who has been there in every time of need for me.  I am currently going through divorce and have a 15 year old son.  I am trying to clean up my credit, and as soon as I start paying some of my bills, I get slammed with such a huge bill.  I recently got in the mail a ticket that I had gotten 8 years ago, they tell me I owe it, its $914.00 and another one, that I am still investigating for $826.00.  I am trying to refinace my car.  I recently got a speeding ticket, and that is $412.00  I am struggling with a new buisness I started, and am working full time.  My son wants to go to basketball camp, which is $400, and I just dont see how I am going to pay all this.  I am also having to go to parenting classes with my Ex husband, because of our communication, that cost $195.00.  They are going to work with me on a payment arrangement. I need about a $5000 loan.  I would like to pay off these debts, and some others.  I will pay it all back. Please let me know if you can help.  I want to build my credit, and purchase a home.  I am making a new beginning, I just need a jumpstart.

Thank you.

I am a 28 year old mother of a beautiful soon to be 4 year old girl.  I am in desperate need of assistance.  I was let go from my job withem them telling me it was because I was part time. Denied unemployment because my former job told them that it was lack of performanace.  I have made the decision to move to Texas because I feel that this is the best thing to do for my daughter and myself.  I have talked to an AWESOME real estate agent and have found the perfect apartment for us.  The problem is that I don't have the $850 security deposit to make the apartment ours.  If anyone can help or can help me figure out a way to attain this I would be greatful.  This move would enable me to go back to school to better myself and assure this would never happen again.  I can handle the rent and the bills..I just need to get the deposit.  I am willing to do anything in all legal and moral realms.
