SINGLE BLACK AMERICAN STRUGGLING TO MAKE  IT THROUGH LIFE.I AM 33 YEARS OLD.I CURRENTLY RENT WHERE I LIVE.I AM 5'8 INCHES TALL .

I am a woman that have overcame many obsticles in life.  I am an overcomer, have determination and pray a lot. My life is shared with my husband and 3 special needs sons. I need to tidy up a bit their world and be more profitable. I also belong to a wonderful non profit organization - Operation Roger - who transport pets across america to their forever homes.

I am a mother of five, two of which still live at home.  I was a patient care assistant and last June I had a very bad broken dislocated ankle. I had four surgeries and after the second one I developed a staph infection which resulted in the plate being removed too soon and therefore all the bones shifted to where I can't go back to my normal kind of work.  I will need surgery again to correct the problem, but due to the staph infection, I can't have surgery for years down the road.  I have to change careers and have been out of work since June 2006.  I was able to get unemployment, but only $l60 per week.  My husband was subcontracting to a builder and lost his job also due to the business getting slow.  We are trying so hard to get a job and are only living on $600 per month.  Our rent is $800 and we are currently working it off with our angel landlady.  We have exhausted help from family and friends and we are starting to get pretty scared.  It is a struggle to get through each week buying food and paying utilities and paying for gasoline to find jobs.  Any kind of help from anyone would be so greatly appreciated.  My husband and I are in our fifties and this is also making it difficult to find jobs plus my disability makes me a liability to companies.  PLEASE SOME GUARDIAN ANGEL OUT THERE, WE NEED HELP

I'm a single mother of a physically impaired daughter, and we are currently living with my sister, I going back to work at an place that I work at for two years I just can't seem to get ahead I feel like everwhere I turn I hit a stop sign not enough money to get my own place or to make ends meet. Sincerely Mom

I am in Pinellas County Florida, I've had three job over the past three years, each one has ended either due to downsizing or the company completely going out of business, I have gone through all of my savings and I am not sure what I am going to do anymore.  There isn't much of a job market in my area for my qualifications, although I have applied for all of the positions I am qulified for, I haven't had any luck so far.  My rent is past due as well as my utilities, my folks are retired and living on a fixed income so they can't help financially, my siblings and friends are also feeling the condition of the economy and are unable to assist.  If anyone can help or point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.  I am willing and able to work, just need help until I can get back on my feet.  Thanks to all who read and blessed be those who can help and those who need help!!!

    My name is joseph green and live in branson, mo.  I just recently had my life fall into a downward spiral.  I had a steady job and a beautiful home, i lost all of that recently due to an illness i just found out about.  I am now homeless and staying with some friends.  I will only be able to stay with them for a short couple of days more however, because a family member of theirs will need the space.  I don't have any family that will help,  i am very scared and do not know what to do.  I have done my homework and found a couple of place to move into but, without any income I am on my way to living on the streets.  I have a job taht will be starting on march 31 acting at a theme park, it is good money but,  that is 1 month that I will be living literally on the streets.  Please help me.  I can be contacted for the next day or two at jgblueboy@yahoo.com or at 417-230-1205.  I would even be willing to pay you back if you could help me get a place to live.
