In the year 2000 the Raymond-Hawkinson family was established. We bound our relationship with the purchase of land and a home. In 2003 we sacrificed what we had to try to save the lives of our beloved pets who were cruelly poisoned in their own yard by illegal area hunters. We lost our car which resulted in the loss of a job, then electricity/water and eventually our home and land.

We do not regret our decision to try to save the lives of our pets.

We discovered what our family truly wanted when we had to move out of our new house and live on the 2 acres of land we had. We learned how to build tipi's, we learned how to cook over open fire, how to use dehydrated foods, rely on the sun to warm our tipi and to heat water for bathing. We had to lug our own water so we also learned a lot about water conversation and recycling. We had no septic system to use, we had to learn safe methods of waste treatment. Had the house and land not been tied up in the same mortgage we could have let the house go without batting an eye. We had found something far more stable...but the land went with the house.

That experience while so many see it as heartbreaking really wasn't. We found that we had more when we had less. Now that we have modern housing that must be powered up and hooked up to water/sewer and we rely on grocery stores and the gas to get there...we are paying far more and have far less than what we had while relying on the earth.

Our family goal is to make our income count. If we could only get a piece of land and build unconventional shelters, grow our own much healthier food and use what nature offers to us we could be doing better in life.

We wish to build our shelter to compliment the abilities of our disabled family members and not be forced into paying expensive rents for adapted rentals or have to live with my mom the rest of my days which would include paying to have her house adapted.

If you can help us get started...we can do the rest. All we need is a piece of land in an unrestricted area.

Good afternoon, I`m a single Father living in New Jersey. I came across this sight because I need cash assistance. I applied for section 8 in Elizabeth, New Jersey back in 1999/2000. My son and I lived in Elizabeth untill October of 2007. I left my apartment in October of 2007 because the current landlord sent me a letter from a Lawyer saying that I have to vacant my apartment . No reason was given. I left, came into contact with a friend from some twenty years ago. She invited my son and I to her apartment until I get back on my feet. I moved my items in November of 2007, everything was sweet. Now, we all know that things don`t stay the same, my friend founded this house which was to much for me to handle, so I had to back out, she went on to move into the house, Stress started to form because I`m about to be homeless if I don`t get no help. I called the city of Elizabeth to see the status of my case, don`t you know that they sent the letter to the wrong address. The Lady says to me Mr. Harris, we were lookin for you since, September of 2007. To make a long story short, I qualify for a two bedroom apartment. My goal is to move in my apartment by June of 2008. I`m asking for cash assistance to help with the security and first months rent. I have email if anyone is willing to help support me. I`m trying to set example that we as Men can take care of our kids too. Thank you for allowing me to vent my worries to you.

My husband died unexpectedly, he did not have life insurance or health insurance, he was never ill. Two months later, I lost my job. The next day, I filed for unemployment and registered with the TWC for help to find a job. I received unemployment until August. I applied for every job that I qualified for in the TWC listings, there were many, I only got a few interviews. I am not sure that the job postings were up to date, so many of them sent me responses that the jobs were closed. Some jobs were posted a day or two before they were to be closed. I have sent out so many cover letters with resumes and applications. I have checked with my references, no one has contacted them. I feel like I've been sending out paper airplanes into empty space.  Many of the applications have gone to State agencies which list job vacancies.

I am diabetic and am out of my medications, I was on the Aim Low program in my county, in August they sent a letter about changes, I called to be rescreened (first screened in May) and was told to call back later, this is what happens each time I call, I am clearly qualified. Initally, in May, I applied to several of the prescription assistance programs and was approved, they were sent to the Aim Low pharmacy. I found out by accident that they had arrived and had been there a month without my being contacted. I finally received them but have received none since and have not been able to see a nurse/dr for refill prescriptions. I don't know where to turn as my diabetes cannot be ignored. I am following what I've been taught in managing my diabetes, but that is not enough without the meds I was prescribed by my doctor while I was still working and had insurance. I have lost alot of weight (40#) and my blood pressure has dropped to a much lower rate than it has been in more than 20 years. I think those factors have helped me with the diabetes complications. 

I receive a survivor's benefit from social security, but it is only enough to pay my rent with $34. left over, I am behind on my utilities and must seek help to get reconnected, often. My car engine light blinks constantly and it runs "rough" needs spark plugs changed and maintenance work, so my gas mileage is poor. On the weekends I set up with an art group to sell note cards that I paint, and some jewelry that make with left over supplies from better times while my husband was alive and we were both earning. I sell a little, usually enough to pay my booth fee and gas money and a little extra used for food during the week. My back, arms and hands are beginning to be stiff from the loading and unloading each week. My hands ache for days and swell. I don't have medication for that. Last week my allergy to smoke flared up and I have had nerve pain in my jaw, ear and head that is almost unbearable. 

I have a daughter about 20 miles away who ignores me since I asked her to keep my dog, a Lab named Lizzi for 3 days so I could go to help my younger daughter who was having a myelogram to determine therapy for an injury she is still suffering from that was not initally treated properly. She has alot of pain from her injury and is in physical therapy, that is not covered by her insurance. She works, but the therapy is very costly and she does not have money to help me with. My older daughter works and has a partner, who also works, but requires alot of her attention and 3 adopted children.  They do not communicate with me since I asked them to keep Lizzi for those 3 days. They have 2 dogs and 4 cats and a big fenced yard. Several years ago, when they were living in a condo, they dumped Lizzi with us when they didn't have a yard. Lizzi is very well trained and is always on a leash with me. the vet told us she was traumatized and that she should not ever have to stay in a crate, for any length of time. She loves them and is always so happy to be with them and gets along with their dogs and cats. I am sad that my older daughter seems lost to me. I am so alone. I do have kind neighbors, but to have family that is so close, but distant, is sad. I try not to think about my older daughter, hoping that she will call are show up someday. My younger daughter cannot make trips to visit often as her injury makes a 3 hour drive each way, something very painful to do, and not miss work when she gets back.  I need help and suggestions of how to move ahead, I am not old enough to retire at 62. I have alot of energy to give, just not enough money to make ends meet. I guess I really need caring attention, most of all. 

I am a SAHM of 10, six here full time, three more every other weekend, and one that has passed over to the other side. We are working towards improving our lives and finances.  I fully intend to get a driver's license for the first time in my life, just as soon as I possibly can.  Right now my husband and I are due to start online college courses on the 27th of this month.  This leaves us excited, terrified, anxious, elated, and a host of other emotions as we try to figure out how to move forward with this endeavor.

We are a family of 4 who is struggling with our rent! We have been trying to keep up but each month we pay later and later and the late charges get bigger and bigger (last month the late fees were around $400) which makes it difficult to pay the power, food, etc... We thank god we are all healthy! I just don't want to be homeless! I work full time (i am being garnished from a student loan from 1989?) and my husband was let go a little over a year ago. He's had a terrible time finding work. He does about 3 p/t temporary jobs (he's a singer/entertainer, cleans and replaces carpet, gets signatures for election ballots) but it only adds up to enough for the basics like food, GAS, kids clothes and shoes (they are 8 & 9 and growing like weeds).

Does anyone out there know how we can get caught up, get help agencies. We don't mind working for what we get. We just need a boost! I have to get to work now so I'll white more later. Please write if you have any ideas on how we can get help!! Thank you and God Bless! Dede

I am a 36 yr. old woman and a recovering addict looking for a way to go to college.  I am unemployed, I have no savings, no car, no type of insurance, I am starting my life over from scratch and I am trying to finally fulfill my dreams.  I live with my "significant other" who takes care of my basic needs but cannot afford to put me through school.  I am trying to find grants or scholarships that will cover my tuition.  I am interested in a Bachelors Degree in the arts of Psychology.   Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I give up.

Last May I lost my part time job. I really wanted to get my charko diseased foot fixed and had unemployment coming, so in June I had surgery at the VA. Recovery time was about a month longer than planned and since I couldn't work, I fell behind on my rent.

I have lived in the same apartment for five years and always paid my rent on time. The manager was pretty reasonable, but the owners replaced her with a new broom and before I knew it, they had filed an eviction suit and now I have to pay in full or loose my furnishings and my cats.

My cats came from a stray who I fed and gave birth to four kittens on my porch. That was 2 1/2 years ago. I meant to give them away, but that never happened and it wasn't long that I decided not to part with them. Not I can't even consider letting any of them go. They are my wonderfull family. 

The apartment is adequate and reasonable. The rent includes water & electric and is only $675. a month. I now owe 3 months and have one on hand. My friends are tapped out and can not help. The local Salvation Army is out of funds. The county can help once I have a job, but even then they won't be able to move fast enough. Bottom line is that if I don't come up with $1300. plus change, we will be put out.  I could give my cats to the pound, but I would hate myself, besides they are my reason to get up everyday.

There must be a happy ending here somewhere, but I can't see it. I'm open to any advice you think might be helpful. Thanks in advance.

I am a disabled vietnam era veteran. About two years ago I suffered and saw first hand the obstacles that people and families in need go thru when they are struck with an unforeseen incident. The world can turn into a cruel and cold and lonely place. It seems that the only visitors that approach you are people that want to take their pound of flesh. All the collectors come to collect their debts and there is no way of holding them off. Sometimes families are forced to make harsh and rash decisions just in order to survive the tradegy.

I do not want anyone to feel the way that I did when I had my strokes. Dealing with the feeling of complete loss and disarry of your life only compounds itself on your situation. It harms both you and the family around you in so many ways. The emotional, physical and financial strain can become unbearable. Along with the illness and long sleepless nights you are also plagued with the ever approaching feeling of doom. THIS IS NOT THE WAY TO SURVIVE!!!

I was able to first hand experience this and to speak with others that have gone through these incidents also. There are a few basic needs that must be met in order to get through this crisis safely and remain in a stable environment.

Basic needs include but are certainly NOT limited to:

Food / Shelter / Medical Care

Knowing that someone cares and that there are people who can or want to help, makes a big difference in bridging the gap to becoming healthy and viable again.

What I have decided to do and wish to attempt to pass on to people are both the basic needs and the knowledge that there are others that care and sympathize with people in need.

I hope to help bridge the gap between the needs and the needy!

I am starting a non-profit organization to help veterans and their families cope with the difficult and rocky time between receiving either their benfits or their pension. I wish to exted this service also to the homeless in need.  

I need help to get this venture started. Any help from you would help out the cause greatly!!!  One of the things that we need too do is purchase wholesale/discount/surplus items to raise  funds for the cause.  
  We can't do this without you and there are people waiting to be helped. Please help us bridge the gap between the needed and needy.

I want to be an organization that ACTUALLY helps, not just a name that people are turned away from when they are in need.

I lost my job and have been denied unemployment. I have a house payment and an electric bill and gas bill past due, almost $900 combined. I have had interviews, but I'm being threatened with foreclosure and eletricity disconnection. I have a 21 month old baby girl and don't know what to do. Does anyone know of a organization I can go to for help. I only need help for this months bills, and I'm sure I'll have employment before I have to pay next months.

i have been having trouble making my mortgage payment soon to bee two months behind bills slowly becoming overwhelming if their is help out their i can repay but not at this time.` vb

Hi, my name is Latita.  I am 36 years old and the single parent of three children and grandparent of one.  I have worked all my life and recentlyhad the year from hell.  I am no longer employed, my home was foreclosed on, and am now on public assistance.  I have a house that I could move in, but it was vandalized and I don't have the money to get home repairs to move me and my family into.  If you can direct me to any programs that will help me with home repairs it will be greatly appreciated.

I want to know are their scholarships and grants for people who have family members to

alcoholis and cancer. I am finishing my master in education and looking for grant to pay for my

PHD in Counseling and transportantion.

Last year I was hit by several tragedies and I am still in disbelief. March Seventeen of     “06” I broke my

ankle and I was in the emergency room for three hours a doctor walking by saw my leg he got x-rays.

The first week spent in hospital with my leg wrapped because of the swelling they couldn't do any

surgeries. Second week I had the surgery. After I was well enough to go home my dad me a wheel chair

and walker. At, the time my dad was sick going in and out of hospital it was an everyday thing. Then my

dad ended up in the hospital. I was at home and the phone ring and picked it up it was hospice which I

had no idea what hospice was for. Then told my dad was dying and he would put on hospice in the

house. I was called to meet with the doctor and my sister. The doctor told us my dad had two weeks to

live and he had liver cancer and any cancer treatment would instantly kill him. Since I had huge casts in

bed everyday while dad was slowly die across the hall.  May Ninth of last year, I came back home from

my second surgery to find my mom crying over dad his was slowly shutting down with his last tears we

prayed and on the same day at 8pm he passed. Now my mom takes care of me and my disabled

sister.But I have my education and I want to continue it my dad was my inpsiration and he still but my

mom has join my team. My education has become my number one priority it has kept me together and it

has become theraphy for all the pain and saddness is still there but I have future to look forward to. My

dad would have been proud.

I would like to know how I might be referred to a doctor for my lower back, since I am a self pay patient.

I'm in pain physically and emotionally while I'm typing this so I'm hoping what I have to say comes out right. I'm going through a tremendous amount of issues right now and I really need some help but have the most trouble finding somewhere to turn. I have a rare pain syndrome that is not commonly heard of. It's called vulvodynia. It causes me excruciating  & debilitating pain. At one time I experienced it almost every second of every day for the last several years. There's no cure or even any sure way of knowing the exact cause....it makes you miserable and unsure of ur life from day to day. I also suffer from depression.

 The vulvodynia pain, I guess u could say is comparable to nerve damage pain (which is in fact what it seems to be in my case). I don't know if I'll ever be free of this situation again but for the time being the only thing most recently that has been helping me to function enough and not suffer this every single day as before is the Cymbalta medicine I've been taking. I also believe in holistic methods but nothing else so far helped relieve the extreme pain and I have a young child to care for. I have tried many many medications & have been & felt like somewhat of a guinea pig. This situation started for me around the age of 19 and I am now in my 30's (Off and on during that period of time). I cannot work because of these disabling situations and I receive SS disability once a month.

 I tried to fill my prescription for my medication and for reasons beyond my control (some error of some sort), my insurance that covers it was off and will take at least a month to be corrected. My medicine costs $163 that I don't have. Making matters worse, I am in a period in which the pain is at it's worse (which happens sometimes) and this is the worse time for me to be without my medicine. I can't find anyplace to get it free or get samples. I NEED HELP.

 I am behind in my rent $227. I have bills I am behind in that is $191. My glasses are old and broken (I'm very nearsighted and the type of glasses I get cost me $350-$400), My child's birthday is here, I have no money to give him anything right now and that in and of it self is so hard (he's a great kid and I love him dearly)and I have little money for the basics of food (which has just been getting more and more expensive). My medicaid was cut a long time ago because they sent the recert to the wrong address, I've tried to apply since then and all I get is the run around. Food stamps is the same thing. I'm just TIRED and I neeed HELP PLEASE SOMEBODY. If u hear me and u can, please help. I am humble and appreciative. Thank You

Hello to everyone!  I have been on a desperate search online today for any help that's out there, financially.  i am a 31 year old single mother, 2 children, ages 4 & 6.  I just relocated less than 3 months ago to get away from an alcoholic man who was beating my kids, and verbally abusing them. 

I had to get away, so I took a leap of faith with my tax return, got my first place to live on my own, but I still haven't found a job!  My money has run completely out, I have job applications in everywhere, 1/2 a tank of gas at this moment, $121 behind on my rent (which $125 will be due again on May 1st), My power is overdue, i can't afford childcare, their father is unemployed so he can't help, I have food stamps so i am not starving, My childen need new clothes (growing out of them and don't have much anyway)  and need an opportunity to make money or help.  I have 12 cents in my bank account, and nothing to sell except a sewing machine that I bought to mend our clothes if needed.  I don't have much at all, just a simple life.  My computer is an old borrowed one from my mom and dad.  They don't have much either so they can't help me.  I don't know what to do, and I refuse to resort to illegal activity of any kind!  i just want my children to have a decent life, and I want to be able to give that to them.  I feel like they aren't going to respect me if they see me fail.  All they have ever seen is me depend on someone else, and I want to be independent.

I have tried looking up loans, but you have to be employed to get that, and all of the home business "jobs" require start up money.  You can't tell what's legitimate anyway.  If anyone has any ideas, a job, money, opportunity, prayers, words of encouragement, clothes for a boy age 4, or a girl age 6, a car they would trade for my windstar van (too much on gas), anything to help please.  I just don't know what to do.

God bless everyone and peace be with you.
