I am a 24 year old female with a graduate degree in Social Work. I have two jobs working in child welfare and mental health to get by on the basic needs of life. I have always been a hard worker and a good citizen including working 3 jobs to get through college. I am always helping others and trying to improve the child welfare system as well as trying to figure out who I am and what I want in life. I am now discovering who I am as a person and learning to love myself. I want to know who I am before I chose to get married and have children. I want to help improve my community and am always on the go trying to find "the answer" to making our world a better place. I love life and feel lucky to be alive and healthy! I am trying to buy a home and am having little luck b/c I work for a low salary and do not have enough money for a down payment. If I recieve help with a down payment I will pay it forward when I am older to help someone like me- someone who has always done the right thing and worked as hard as possible but doesn't make enough to own a home!

HELLO ANYONE KIND ENOUGH TO READ THIS,

 LET ME JUST BEGIN WHERE MY LIFE ENDED. I BECAME VERY ILL THREE YEARS AGO AND WENT ON DISABILITY FOR P.A.D. AN SEVERE ATHRITUS. SOON BOTH MY DAUGHTERS BEGAN HAVING SEVERE KIDNEY PAIN, WHICH WE SOON FOUND OUT THIS WAS REAL TUBULAR ACIDOSIS. WHICH IS SICK FOR AN 8 YEAR OLD TO HAVE TO FEEL PAIN LIKE THAS. I KNOW I HAD THEM AS WELL, WHEN I WAS YOUNGER. KIDNEY STONES EVERY DAY ONE OR THE OTHER. WELL, MY HUSBAND BEGAN ACTING WIERD. HE WENT FOR MY DAUGHTER AS I STEPPED IN FRONT OF HER I FELL AND BROKE ALL MY RIBS ON THE RIGHT SIDE. HE WAS VERY VIOLENT. HE DID GO TO PRISON AND WILL NEVER BE IN OUR LIVES AGAIN. AS I WAS MOVING, THE LEASE WAS IN HIS NAME AND WE HAD TO MOVE IN, WITH FAMILY. I FOUND HYPADERMIC NEEDLES ALL UNDER BEDS. THIS EXPLAINED SOME HIS ACTIONS! WE WERE NOW HOMELESS AND CARLESS. THE CAR WAS IN HIS NAME. WE ARRIVED AT MY SISTERS HOUSE AND THIER FOUR SONS. MY LITTLE GIRL WAS RAPED AND WE HAD TO MOVE AGAIN QUICKLY. SO, WE MOVED IN WITH A LADY WE HARDLY KNEW. SHE IS NICE . BUT, THIS IS HARD TO PUT TWO FAMILIES TOGETHER THAT BARELY KNOW ONE ANOTHER. I HAVE HAD TO CALL SO MANY AMBULANCES FOR MY DAUGHTERS. I KNOW THE HOSPITAL THINKS WE ARE CRAZY. I NEED TO GET THEM THIER QUICKLY FOR PAIN RELIEF AND SOMETIMES SURGURY. THIS HAS GONE ON FOR EIGHT MONTHS. WE PRAY AND PRAY AND ASK JESUS TO HELP US. WE NEED A CAR, SO I CAN MAKE THE TRIP 45 MILES AWAY TO GET THEM TO SPECIALIST CALLED NEFROLIGIST. I, AM LOOSING MY RIGHT KIDNEY AND HAD NO CLUE THIS DISEASE COULD ULTAMENTLEY DO THIS. I DON'T WANT THEM TO LOOSE THIER KIDNEYS. WE NEED HELP! HELP FROM ABOVE OR A CARING HEART. I CAN MAKE PAYMENTS. BUT NOT OVER $300 PER MONTH. I, AM DESPERATE, THESE GIRLS DESERVE BETTER THAN ER DOCS. I HAVE INSURANCE FOR THEM, I DON'T HAVE A CAR TO HELP THEM. CAN YOU HELP A MOTHER AND HER TWO CHILDREN IN GOD'S NAME. WE JUST NEED ONE BREAK. PLEASE HELP. CALL ME 270-466-7707 OR E-MAIL ME AT dreamanwait@yahoo.com. THANK YOU SO MUCH. MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU AS WELL. OH! MY DAUGHTER HAS BEEN SENT HOME FROM SCHOOL FOR MEDICAL SICK LEAVE, AS A TEACHER COMES TO OUR HOME, OR THE LADY WE ARE LIVING WITH HER HOME.

TRULY BEGGING

MALEA, DALLAS & BRANDI

I AM A CARETAKER IN LONG BEACH CALIFORNIA. I HAVE BEEN TAKING CARE OF MY GRANDMOTHER FOR THE LAST 4 YEARS.  SHE HAD SEVERAL STROKES AND WAS BED RIDDEN. NOW, SHE WALKS WITH HER WALKER AND CAN DRESS HERSELF. BEING A CARETAKER IS NOT A JOB EVERYONE CAN DO. IT IS VERY HARD ON YOUR BODY, YOUR MIND AND YOUR POCKET. IM 32 AND HAVE TO LIVE WITH MY MOM/GRANDMOTHER BECAUSE I BARELY MAKE ENOUGH TO SURVIVE. IN HOME SUPPORT SERVICES OF LA COUNTY IS WHAT WE GO THROUGH. MY GRANDMOTHER NOW HAS TO TAKE A LARGE PORTION OF HER MONTHLY CHECK TO PAY ME, AND I THINK IT SUCKS.  I AM WILLING TO WORK FOR ANYONE WHO NEEDS HELP. IM OUTGOING, FUN, AND EASY TO GET USED TO. KAREBEAR

I am an independent woman and care taker who currently makes no money because I am doing my internship.  I don't have the money to complete one more semester of college because the school decided to keep my summer tuition after I had to drop my classes due to my father's passing.  I am a very blessed and strong individual who relies on the Lord 500%.  He keeps me going everyday.
