Being able to get a college degree to provide for my children

I need help in tution, books, and being able to support my two boys while I go to college full time.   I have been out of school for twenty years.  I have been married three times.  I was afraid to go back to school after each year went by due to thinking I had forgotton or would fail.  I have taken the Compass test and was  very pleased that I did well.  My boys father is not in their life and does not pay child support.  I am currently working and due to this I can not receive assistance.  I have always wanted to go to college but  I got married at sixteen years old and had a son by the age of 17.  Now I have two boys who are 12 and 14 that I need a degree so I can support them on my own.  Its very discourgaing due to doors being shut since I am working.  I am being refused help due to I have a job.  I have worked and am still working but I would like to go to college full time not just to be able to support my children but for myself.

Hi my name is Tammy.  I'm trying desperately to assist my mother who has fallen into a pit of despair after losing my baby sister in February of this year.  My sister Wendy was 36, she was deaf/blind and disabled from birth, due to a one-in-a- million gene defect.  She died of heart disease. My mother's grief has led to many phobias and mental health issues.  I have no choice but to move her in with me and my husband.  I need money to make this happen.  The only thing I have of worth to pledge- is years of books that I have read and collected.  I have read a book, twice a week for over 20 years.  And yes...I have them all!  I have made a list of the books/authors that I am going to part with. (e-mail me for the list)  Among them you will find recent best sellers, autobiographies, old books, odd books, self help books, cook books, there is something for everyone.  I figure I can ship them for around $5 which would make my goal $1000

The money will be used to get her car fixed, storage and moving expenses.  If there is anything left I will spend the balance to get my sister out of that plastic box and into a real urn. 

You can e-mail me for the list, before you pledge.  When you pledge let me know which book you pledged for, so that I can remove it from my list.  As soon as I recieve each pledge,  I will ship the book media mail, via US postal service to anywhere in US or Canada. 

Please let me know what you think of the books and I will keep you posted on my mother's progress!

assistance for books and misc. college expenses

I am enrolled to start online schooling at Western University on July 25, 2005 and am in search of assistance for various education and misc. expenses. I and 44 years old and finally am persuing a dream that has been only a thought since graduating High School. As the cost of books, computer, transportation and miscellaneous expenses will be a burden to me as I get started with this venture they will only be an obstacle and will not detour me. I am asking for information any Grants or Assistance that might be available to me.

I am a mother of three.  I have a fifteen year old, a four year old and a two year old.  My husband left last month and took all the money and our only running vehicle.  I was trying to do an online business to try and make a little extra money to help out, but that didn't work out very well.  I no longer have the money to make products to sell.  I haven't been able to find work or help with grants around this small town.  They are shutting off our electric today and I'll have an eviction notice tommorrow.  I'm not sure what to do.  I will be having a yard sell this weekend to try and make a little extra money, other than that, I'm lost.  I've already applied for work at all the places in town even places I know I don't qualify for.  Without electric, I can't hope to get a call for work and without a home, my children will have to go to foster care.  If you know of any way to help, please let me know.

scholarship or grant seeker

I am currently enrolled as a full-time student at a 4 year university majoring in Nursing. I am married with children, one income that is taking care of 4 people. I need help with  tution, fees, and books for the remaining semesters.

Funding for School

I would like to find grant money so that I may finish getting my degree for a BA in Accounting and to also obtain a BA in Business Management.  To have both of these degrees would benefit me and my family and my business.  The monies that I receive would allow me to pay for all of my education needs.  Such as books, supplies, fees, tution, living expenses and transportation.

Financial Aid or Loan

I am a 35 year old mother of two boys and am a nursing student. I am currently enrolled  in the nursing program and need financial help to get me through graduation.

Need financial assistance to pay for graduate school

I am a single 26-year-old female who plans to attend Boston College in the fall of 2006 to get my Master's in Social Work.  I cannot afford to live in Boston and go to BC on loans alone.  It is a very expensive city and school, but I desperately want to study there.  Boston College School of Social Work has one of the best programs in the country, and I know I would get a quality education.  I need money for rent and utilities, subway fare, tuition and books.  I cannot work full-time as the demands of the program do not allow for it.  I want to get good grades, and be able to focus my attention on studying and on doing well in my field work.  This will help me to help others!  I want to work with poor and disadvantaged children, and commit myself to helping those in need.  In order to do that, I need help to pay for the best education that will help me be a great social worker.   

Help me please!!!!!!!!!!

I NEED MONEY TO GET ME GET IN COLLEGE CAN'T GET IN WITH NO MONEY SO PLEASE HELP ME THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS.

I just found this site today and so I am still unsure how this works, and am still feeling my way around a bit. I am a single mommy of two little boys, who are my heart. I am also a full time college student, and sell on ebay as well. Right now I have no income, other than what I try and sell on Ebay. I have severe depression and anxiety attacks.. and it is difficult for me to find work. Although I do try and do what I can from home. . I am in great need of help with bills at the moment and simple things that are hard for me to come by right now such as diapers, toilet paper, etc..

I have posted a number of sites for others to take a look at that I have found to be helpfull, but they can only help so much and I am in great need at the moment.

We have plenty of food, so this is a blessing. But really need help to get my car insurance and plates, so i can take the kids to doctors appointments, etc..

We also have a heat shut off notice as well as an electric shut off notice, ( I can show copies to anyone willing to help us with this, or even contribute directly to the utility companies themselves) (I have sought help at community agencies, to no avail)

I have no one to turn to to ask for help.. So i am turning to this online community in hopes that someone can help... even if its jus a few dollars, it can add up to a package of diapers, etc..

My email and pay pal are sdelan05@gmail.com

Also I would love to find a female friend in my area that I can chat with and be friends with.. I have no friends in this small town..

If nothing else... a big blessing would be to find a strong community of female positive friends... someone that i can meet and we can uplift eachother with cards in the mail, emails, etc... I have a HUGE heart and value friendship very highly....I am the sort of person who likes to create lifetime friendships...

I have also been through many obstacles in my lifetime and survived much.. and so I can relate to what many people are going through, because I am either going through the same thing or have at one point in time in my life...

Thanks everyone... feel free to add me to your pages... I do not quite know how to do so myself quite yet... also if anyone could help me post my profile picture.. I am having a difficult time getting it to work.. thanks..

I hardly can't afford to buy my kid's personal needs such as clothes, school supplies, and etc. my SSDI goes to our house's bill.I was lucky the first time I had my first surgery because I was fund raising and especially coupon churches were helping me out.and now Im just staying home sometimes I excercise swimming and praying.I write my story because I need you people out there to  at least read and know that I need you people help to send my kid's used clothes or for my family as well. if you can please help me with little money, I do really appreciated and I accepted.

Comment: Well, I haven't received any...
Note: This aidpage was started as a comment on "Home page of bbrookes"

Well, I haven't received any advice and I still haven't found work. I've spent all of my free time looking and applying for grants for help. All the places around here are out of funds. I don't have long to be out of my home. I don't know if it will help in time, but I will ask. If you have the ability to help then just donate $1.00. If enough people can then perhaps I can pay a couple of my bills, and perhaps fix my van so I can go out of town to look for work. Thank you and God bless.
