Hi, I am the mother of three kids and I have one child that went to Heaven last year 11/25/2006. That is the worst thing that ever happened to me in my life. I would have rather been living on the streets with nothing than to lose my babyboy. He was born chronically ill. He had a kidney transplant 03/28/2006 and passed 11/25/2006. My situation now is not too good. I am working a part-time job, 24 hours a week. I don't know how I am going to get Christmas presents this year. I am also behind on my rent and my vehicle has been broke down since this summer. I NEED HELP!!! If you would like to find out more information about my babyboy, you can visit caringbridge.org and ENTER: larryjr

My name is Dina Rae I am 25 years old and I was preganant when I got behind on my bills and I got my car repossessed because I couldnt work at the time,because of early contractions and was forced to stay home. Im a single mother.  After I had my baby I had a hard time trying to stand up and get out of bed and I later found out that I have severe Rheummatoid Arthritis. Im still behind on all my bills around 4,900.00.  Its been 2 years and I have lost my home and car.  My credit is totally ruined.  It is good I have family to stay with for the time being.  I have so much pain and havent been able to work.  I have no job and no hope what so ever. Ive been going to free counseling for depression.  I tried to get on SSI and have been denied, but I will try again after I get more X-Rays done.  If anyone could help me it would be greatly appreciated.  Me and my daughter Evangelise Lorelei would be so happy.  I struggle just trying to get pampers for her every month.  Her father has been abscent since she was 4 months old.  I know you cant really expect for some kind of miracle to happen and I dont know how this is going to work out for me but oh well I will try anyways.  I also find that talking about things helps alot too.

"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.

Single Mom needs help getting a car.

Hi, and thanks for taking the time to read this.  I am a single mom of a 8 year old boy.  He has ADD and I have Cerebral Palsy, rhuematoid arthritis, and asthma.  I am currently in a chapter 13 bankruptcy after helping a friend after her divorce.  She did not pay back the money I  loaned her and cut off our 33 year friendship.  I was devastated.  Then my son's dad stopped paying his child support.  I am stretched to my wits and financial end. I know this all sounds like a soap opera but "life is stranger than fiction".  I work full time and I really like my job. I am eligible for disability, but I want to work for as long as my body will hold out.  I need to show my son a good work ethic.  I need help purchasing a car to get to work before I lose my job.  My current car is at the end of its' lease and I must turn it in.  I cannot afford the $8925 it will cost to pay off the lease.  If anyone out there can help, God bless.

Thank you again for your time,

Diana

Well its been a long spiral into hell. In the last 6 years I have lost my parents and a sister. I have lost a great job, and my health. Now I owe so much money, not a massive amount, but enough to put me into the street in days. A little to everyone. I can't even file the papaerwork for income taxes in time, I owe that will lead to a whole new world of hurt and despair. I feel terribly hopeless and very depressed. I can't seem to get an even break. I don't know what else to do or where to turn.There's not much light in my life and I'm beginning to feel like I just want it all to end. I am tired of this financial torture. I am spent trying to make it just to survive. No one seems to think I'm worthy of help to stay alive. I have nothing left. No where to go. Nothing to eat. No where to live very soon. The last thing before my life that I'm willing to give up is my only friend, my dog. If need be we will die together.

I feel like I'm hanging by a thread.

So if anyone can help with a roof over our heads and some assistance to get out of hell, and back to the land of the living, I would be forever grateful.

April 30,2008

Never mind, it's not like there is really anyone who cares out there. I'm done trying to get by and just survive. Its appalling that this can happen in this country. I'm have worked all my life and now that I can't I deserve to die, well I fucking guess so! We are homeless now and I am not going to live in my compact car for long, and as soon as I get my painkiller prescription refilled, me and my dog bid you farewell. We will be together in pergatory forever I fucking guess eh fucking GOD!!!Fuck you GOD! We are outta here for good. This site is usless, thanks Canada, thanks for nothing.

I need help with finances. I have arthritis and lupus and am deaf and had to leave my job.I am a single mom supporting my daughter as well as my disabled mom and disabled sister and I get no child support. I have borrowed my friends and family to the max limits. I am behind on everything and desperately need money to pay my bills. Im 3 months behind on the house payment and have used every ounce of savings I had put away.  I have a paypal account (anoraonebay@yahoo.com ) donations can be sent to, anything will help and thanks in advance.

PS

Thank you so much for your consideration,

 

 

UPDATE: I was thinking last nite I needed to be proactive in my own life. I feel like things are just "dead in the water", so to speak. I contacted Voc Rehab, who got me my hearing aids, cuz they said they would help me learn ASL (American Sign Language) too and were supposed to let me know something "soon"...well its been months and months, so I contacted them via email (its Sunday) but have gone one step further and contacted my local community college and enrolled in the ASL training program and I have found I qualify for financial aid and can get my courses free just based on my lack of income, so thats good news. Not so good news is its mid-session now, the courses I need are not offered over summer and that means I have to wait until fall term to get this moving....soooo again, not one to be discouraged, I have emailed the director of the program and asked her if there is anyway I can come "sit in" on any classes or some way to get private instruction so that I can do this sooner...like yesterday. So I am encouraged about this one thing in my life....      I was also thinking that if I go back to school, I still have all these crazy insane amount of credit card bills, medical bills, loans, etc who are knocking down my door....and in fact trying to kick me out of my door, since the house payment is 3 months behind so I checked with welfare....UGH I dunno where all those rumors and myths about folks sitting around "getting rich" off welfare came from....it may happen somewhere, but it aint happening in Mississippi thats for dang sure. On the TANF program, a needy person gets $110 for the first person and then $36 for the 2nd person and $24 for each additional person after that. So for myself and my daughter, we'd get a whopping $146 a month to live on....Im  very very discouraged on this point, because I was hoping that I could go back to school and finish my degree (ASL interpreting) and that would allow me to get a good job. BUT while Im in school full time, I was thinking maybe TANF would be enough to just "get by" and keep the bill collectors at bay until I was able to pay them myself....so much for that plan. Now Im at a loss for my next step.  I have a partial plan for school, but it does not help me keep myself out of jail for defaulting on these loans and it does not keep my utilities on or the house from being reposessed....

Any ideas, help, suggestions, loans, donations, thoughts & prayers, anything is appreciated

Im not even sure what this site is for other than just having people out there who know what im going through. I have spent the last few years wondering if im going to be able to hang on. Im an adult survivor of child abuse and sexual abuse. For most of my life I have been able to maintain, but recently I feel like im comming apart. Im sure most of it is related to the fact that my life latley is so out of control. The economy is so bad right now that the stress level's have reached an all time high. I know im not the only one out here suffering, I just feel like I am.  I was diagnosed with Post Tramatic Stress Syndrome, re-occuring depression, Severe Panic and Anxiety. So with all this going on the lack of money isn't helping. I know what I need to do, and I want to be able to do it, I just cant. And I know what your thinking not with that attitude, but I used to have a great attitude, I just lost it somewhere down the road. My husband is Disabled with a bad Back and Knee, It makes it hard because we are trying to maintain a house and raise 3 kids on his disability pay and it just doesnt work.. I've tried everything. I have tried to work and tried to go to school but I just cant finish anything. I start out great and then fizzle. It gets so bad I get so over whelmed I cant continue I start getting panic attacks and then im done. If anyone can offer suggestions Im open. Anything.

until then Im still hanging in there.

Hello,

I'm a single mother of 7 grown children, Life was a little hard but we always seemed to manage.

Then one day our lives crumbled into pieces, My son who was 24 years old was diagonsed with fourth advanced stage sinus and brain cancer. He only lived for 6 months after that.

The most heartwrenching feeling is loosing your child, our lives were never the same.

I started getting brain seizures, and this unexplainable sharp stabbing facial pain, high blood pressure and a tryroid problem.

Only to add to the stress, I refinanced my home, to realize later that I signed a paper that was a adjustable rate mortgage. I've been on a roller coaster my mortgage went from $1,200.00 to $2,200.00, I can't seem to get out of. My house was up for sheriff sale and I had to file bankrupcy and now I'm paying more than ever, I don't make that much money

I've been in my home for 25 years and raised all my children here. My home might need many repairs but its my home. All my memories are here.

I wish to be blessed by an angel, just to make the mortgage payment more affortable

Thank You

Heart Warming

Hi, my name is Shelly.  I have tried to get my insurance co. to approve gastric bypass surgery for me and they will not do it.  I have diabetes, high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, asthma, sleep apnea, ocular hypertension and they will still not approve the surgery.  I weigh 390lbs and am 5'6".  I take medications for all my health problems and sleep with a c-pap machine.  I have been morbily obese for 17 years now and have tried every diet on this earth.  I may loose a little weight and then I end up gaining all of it back.  I have been a single mother for 16 years and because of my weight, I have lost out on a lot of special times with my son.  I can't walk very far or do any activity that requires a lot of energy.  I'm so sick of my self.  I don't feel I'm going to live very many more years if I don't get this weight off.  I have worked all my life and put my self through college after my divorce, and received a 2 year medical assistant degree.  Medical Assistant's do not make as much money as you would think they would.  I have struggled year after year to make things meet.  My son has had three surgerys on his legs at the Shriner's Hospital in St.Louis, thank God for them.  He is still having pain in his legs and ankles and he will probably need surgery again on his feet.  It has all been so very stressfull on him and me.  I get depressed about my weight and over eat and it just goes on in a never ending cycle.  I feel almost like I've wasted all my years in obesity.  I don't want to waste the rest of my life.  I pray some times that I will win the lotery so I could get my surgery and help other people too, this is just dreaming and wishful thinking though, it's not reality.  I'm not some one who will beg for money, but does anyone have any suggestions out there.  I'm loosing hope.

I have recently fell on some hard times, in February of 2007 I fell and broke both of my knee's and had to have a double knee surgery. While re-habbing in a nursing home the job I had for 18 years went away the factory closed and my job went over seas. I have spent all the money I had put back including my retirement. I have no income while I am trying to re-hab myself because I no longer have insurance so it is very hard to return to the work force with 2 bad knee's! I'm at the end of my rope I have no clue where my are my daughters next meal may come from! I have made to much money in the past they tell me for any kind of assaintance from the State so I ask you what should I do or can you help us?
