Hi, Single parent and full time student who has maintained well.  Ran into a few problems these past couple of months.  Ga. Power, the sole provider of electric service here in atlanta has decided to charge me and arm and leg for my winter utilities.  When asked about this 4 month long spike, they told me that the therms cost more and so does winter heating.  Long story short, my child and i are in need of emergency assistance.  We live in a total electric house and have been having a very bad week.  I maintain all my bills, but that ga. power was sending bills here before i could pay the other.  i just need a little help to get over this hump, then i will be graduating and hopefully finding work in my field, social work.  Thanks for all your prayers and any help given will be greatly appreciated. Thanx 4 reading all this.

Back in the spring of 2007 I lost my job so with 3 kids I panicked and started gambling to make ends meet well of course matters got worse and by the time I finally got another job I really got myself into a financial jam!  I'm hoping someone could help me out and in return I will adopt someone needy and help them out in the future.  What should I do?  I never understood an alcoholic or a drug addict until I started gambling to pay my rent and provide for my children, if you could understand my situation please respond to my email

Hello

I have a real problem with some saying no to my daughter. I do not have any one to talk to or any Suport Group. Both of my Parents are deseased. I am a single Mom and I don't get Child Suport of any thing.  I don't make a lot of money, I just have enought to pay my bills and I don't have any thing left to get us some Food and I only get $ 10.00 in Goverment help, (Food Stamps). I don't go to the doctor. Because my Insurence has change and I don't know if I have a copay is $10.00 or more In not sure.  I just wish I had friends so some one to talk to.

I am a widow a grandmother no home with three granddaughters,we live in a one room location were i am broken hearted to see we can not go forward there are no more programs the wait is years and i am on them. My grand daughters are three and up i was left to care for them they are my great joy i would like to put them in a bed with linen the things you see in the movies on tv now we will not even have that what can the very poor do but listen we can not afford the new things to get to see tv i read same books to them what has happen to America the Greatest Country In God We Trust to be hungry homeless or live in fear and poverty who are the programs made for and the only people content are the freinds and family to staff, the quiet see much we are not dead we breathe we are just alone i would gladly plant veggies to live i already wash clothes in the sink we go for walks so i must be blessed to be able to walk with them and now this contraption of talking on this machine for a minute i feel special. God Bless you the reader whos heart is also heavy may we find strength in prayer bye be well and strong.

I am a single mother of a 15yr old daughter.  We have been going through counseling due to the fact my God-daughter was killed by her father. I end up missing alot of work due to my daughter having episodes of crying and not being able to focus.  The father of my daughter has refused to help with any type of support to help me pay for the visits to the doctor's office.  And the only computer that I had was a laptop that my God-daughter asked to use in order to finish a assignment that was due. She had took that w/ her to her father's house and I haven't seen it since. I am so use to being an independent person and not asking for help but at this point in my life I know that I need it.  I have been very fortunate that my job has not fired me due to the days that I have missed but it makes it hard to pay the bills. I have already attempted to file for state aid but I was told that I make too much money to recieve anything. But I barely have enough money for rent and utlities.

my name is harriet key I'm a foster care parent and i presently live in a studio apartment and i would like to be able to provide a home for a sibling group of children that desperately need a home and family. In order for me to be able to provide them a stable life i need money to buy or rent a home or even if some one has a house they would donate to help my cause. The amount of money needed for a rental would be base on the rent times 3 that would be one months rent one months security, and one months brokers commission. If there is anyone that can help my cause or give me information that could help me i would greatly appreciate it very much.

Hello I found this page by God Sent, I came looking for help with my dental problems.  I know I am way a head of myself, sorry. 

I am a disabled 41 year old mother of 2 teenage girls, I am also disabled due to breaking my back when I was 15.  I worked and everything fine until I was in my 30's then I couldn't take the pain any longer.  I've had back surgery and everything under the sun done, but I am still in (every) daily/hour/minute.  Due to the back pain I can't get out and work anymore so things are TIGHT. 

I am having tons of dental problems and I am in pain as I write this message.  I have been going to the dentist and my last visit for him to work on 2 teeth cost me, "you may want to sit down" $1,600!  The worse part is it's not even finished yet.  I was suppose to go back and get it done, but of course I can't come up with the money.  He gave me an estimate of, "stay sitting" $26,00 to fix everything. You would think I was getting dimonds put in my mouth.

 Now what he did do has broken and I am having a lot of pain.  What hurts, my mouth, ear and it even feels like the pain is in my bone it hurts so much.  I am on pain medication with my back and it's still hardly  taking care of this tooth pain. 

I am hoping I can find something here to help me.  We have a school here named LSU, they do give some dental help, but they aren't taken anybody.  They say this every single time I call, I've been calling for over a year now.  I don't know what to do now.  I need to win the lottery or something.

I have my own website that helps people find deals, bargain, freebies and information sorta like here so I'll put a link to this site it looks like a GREAT find.

Thank you and I look forward to getting to know some of you here.

God Bless!

Laura

I recently saw a promo for a new show "THE BABY BORROWERS" Wednesday june 25, 9pm EDT NBC and I think ANY teenage kid who thinks it would be fun to be a parent should watch this! Parents, grab the teens and sit them down in front of the TV and make them watch. I don't normally promote specific shows but I think this one will be an eye opening experience ( I could be wrong.)

Here is the info from NBC

NBC's upcoming reality series "The Baby Borrowers" is an intriguing new social experiment based on the hit British program that asks five diverse teenage couples -- ages 18-20 -- to fast-track to adulthood by setting up a home, getting a job and becoming caring parents first to babies, toddlers, pre-teens and their pets, teenagers and senior citizens -- all over the course of three weeks.

As the social experiment begins, the five young volunteer couples are asked to literally grow up overnight when they are each given a home in a quiet cul-de-sac outside Boise, Idaho and attend pre-natal classes as each "mother" wears a simulated "empathy" belly to prepare them for the arrival of their "baby."

When a real baby (all aged six-11 months old) appears at their door -- courtesy of five pairs of real volunteer parents (some of whom were teen parents themselves) who entrust their infants to one of the couples -- the nervous, fumbling teens are in for three long, arduous days that make chilling out a distant memory. They must stick to rigid routines, handle the feeding chores, diaper duty and crying jags that might be shared by baby and teens -- all the while under 24-hour supervision by nannies and the real parents who are stationed next door, watching via monitor, and able to step in at any time. Plus, one teen from each of the couples must start a job, ranging from working in a local vet's office to a lumberyard, leaving the other alone as caregiver for the day.

After three surprising, intense days, each teen couple will bid bye-bye to the baby and receive a toddler as their fast-forward adult life progresses. They will have to cope with typical "terrible twos" behavior, including pouty tantrums, potty training and other messes. Three days later, the weary couples must face the reality of parenting several sassy pre-teens/"tweeners" at once -- each with a family pet in tow, adding to their responsibilities.

Seventy-two hours later, the teenagers arrive, thereby perhaps providing them with a mirror image of their own recent relationships with their parents. To complete the cycle of life, the experiment ends with as couples are graced with the opportunity to care for a senior citizen, including some with health issues, who represent what might be in store for them in the distant future.

Through this emotional, dramatic journey, each young couple will get a unique opportunity to peer into the future and see what they (and their partners) might be like if they remain together and decide to build a family. Tested by the everyday ups and downs of taking care of others and maintaining a relationship, most of the teens find themselves looking at all of their relationships and notions of parenthood in a new light.

"The Baby Borrowers" is produced by Love Productions. Richard McKerrow (the U.K.'s "Cirque de Celebrite") and Tom Shelly ("Survivor") are executive producers.
