Comment: My name is Charlisse Green....
Note: This aidpage was started as a comment on "Christmas for Kids"

My name is Charlisse Green. The reason that I am writing to you is because when I was nine years old, I had an accident on my bicycle. I rode down a hill, fell and broke my jaw and teeth. The doctor told m mom that he would help her to fix everything, but they didn’t fix it right. I really need your help to get my mouth fixed so that I can begin to talk right again and to look normal. The main reason that I need your help is because I am tired of people talking about me and my mouth. They hurt my feelings, but I don’t say anything to them anymore. I just try to keep going. Now, I am 17 years old. My mother asked me if I had any friends at school and I told her that I have ‘someone to talk to’. I say that because one minute, they are my friend, and the next, they talk behind my back, calling me names and picking at the way I talk and look. When I talk, it sounds like I am deaf because of the way that my mouth is. As a result, I have been placed in special classes at school. I have faith that you will help me. Some of the things that you do make me cry because they touch my heart. I am praying that you will be able to make my wish come true because I am tired of people talking about me everyday. When I look in the mirror, I see who I am, but no one else can see the real me. They talk about me everyday. Not one day, but EVERY day. So, I decided to write on my own, hoping that you and your staff will find it in your hearts to help me. If you only knew how I feel, I know that you will help me. People say that I am ugly. Sometimes, I don’t care what they say because I know that someday, I will be somebody that I can be proud of, and will make my mother proud. Thank you now for what I hope that you will be able to do for me in the future. With all my heart, Charlisse Greene

Still in need of help!  Dealing with Financial troubles badly!  our home is in forclosure and were about to lose everything!  Can't believe that I have been looking for help since Last year to keep from getting this way, and nothing but scammer after scammer gets in touch with me!  there doesn't seem to be anyone out there anymore that has a soul that would or even could help anyone that is having trouble anymore.  been working on getting things caught up but still falling behind with everrything going up all the time.  just about can live or raise a family!  want has this world gotten too.  it's a shame!  I pray all the time that things get better and so far nothing is working right for me.  I have faith and my heart keeps telling me that things are going to get better, but I hope I'm not trying to raise a family in the streets by the time that this would come true.  God Bless all of US!

in december i heard about aidpage.com. i was living with my brother at the time ( 19 and 18 years old), but because of winter both our hours at our jobs were cut in half. we were making it but barely. so i decided to nievely post my situation on aidpage. a few days later i was contacted by a pastor who never got back to me, and a man named Sean Yanti. he explained his backround and hard life growing up, and he said he had been through what i was going through now, but now God has blessed him and he would like to bless others. he sent me a check for $4000, but i was to take $500 for myself, and wire the rest through western union to another "very needy" person. seeing as he was not asking me to send my money  but his, i thought nothing was wrong, so i did. i cashed the check through my bank and sent the $3500 off. he then told me he was sending another check to help me, but he wanted me to take out a small amount and send the rest. i asked why he didnt send the money himself to her, but he said it was not on his level and he would if he could and he was very sorry. once again i thought ok its his money. before i got the 2nd check, my bank called me telling me it was a fake check and i would have to pay the bank the $4000 back. i told sean this still thinking he was a good man and it was a mistake; he said to cash the second check and use it for my bank. b4 i did though i called the bank the 2nd check was from, for $4000 also, and it was fake. i didnt hear from him again. i know your thinkng how niave and stupid i must be, but i am only 19 years old and didnt know. i thought if he asked me to send my money that was fraud, but it was his. because of this, i have been unable to pay any bills including rent, so i have been evicted out of my home and no place wll rent to me, my car was taken away because i could not make payments,my phone was turned off, and i have been fired from my job because i have been unable to get there. i am pregnant and have no resources, i am unable to get a loan because this really screwed up my credit. this man really messed me up. anyway his name is Sean Yanti, and he has broken english.

 

 

so now i have no home, no car, no job, nothing. i am in major debt and i just keep falling. i am asking for some help -  i am 5 months pregnant and now no one will hire me  becuase of training and then i will have to leave after the baby is born. i can slowly repay what is given, but i just need to get back on my feet, find a place to live for me and the baby and a car.

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

I am here because I am a young, smart, dedicated mother of 2 very smart loving kids. I have come to a point in my life where the man that I trusted with our lives just decided to leave us with nothing. It is sad because he controlled everything and could care less about me and our kids well being. I have been a stay at home mother and I do not have any unnecessary bills. All I have is rent, utilities, food, car insurance and very little money for anything else. I want to go back to school to make something of myself but there are other things that stand in my way. I need a job but no one here will take a chance on me because I havent worked and I have no experience. I need money for everyday living and it makes it harder when I want to work and go to school and then I need money for a babysitter that I can trust with my kids. I am just so stressed that I cannot provide the things that I need for my kids. I here all the time about people going into debt and well I dont want to do that to myself or my kids. I want to have some stability for themand myself but it seems like I am getting nowhere and well the money that I still have will not last long. I am not sure what I am asking for I just know that I need help. I want to find a job at home but I cant invest the little money that I have. I have sold alot of my things to make more money and well that in itself makes me sad. I just really need something to help me get by. I would really love it if this site is real and well I am not afraid to talk to someone that is real and not looking to add to the stresses that I have. I am just so afraid that my kids will have to see the harsh realities of. I want to give them a roof over there head but I can only afford a few more months and I really dont know what to do. I just dont want them to feel in secure. I want the simple things in life but no one is willing to give me a chance to prove myself to them. Life is hard but it seems to want to keep me down rather than letting me and my family prosper.

 I have a list of things that I "WISH" I could have but then again I am not to lazy to make my wishes come true. I just need some help to be stabel enough to give my kids a home.I live in a small apartment and well to better understand my situation I am pretty much living off of 1500 a month and my rent is more than half that amount. I cant get a deposit for another place and well where I live it is a really reasonable price. My landlord is really nice and understanding but he is also struggling and well with 2 kids and we dont go shopping alot. Me and my kids have all second hand things, we eat canned goods most of the time, and we just spend time together so the good thing is that my kids dont need the fancy things to make them happy. They do want the new things but they know that I cant give it to them because I dont have the money. I would love to give them the nicer things for their birthdays and holidays but I cant sacrifice the money in that way. I am just feel so inadequate at times. I want to give them extra things because they are smart and deserve them but everything is so pricey. We rarely go to mcdonalds and when we go we only get the dollar menu thing and we go where we can get free refills. I mean that is a good thing but to have to explain to my little ones that I cant do more because mommy dont have the resources really makes me depressed. They dont know the things that I have to struggle with and I hope they never know but they see it and ask questions and I have to try and tell them something else that is positive. It becomes torture at times when they see the things that others recieve and how others indulge in the luxuries of life.

ADDED this on May 10,2008

I am really looking forward to making a life with my kids but now I am trying to find some grants that I can apply for so that I can go back to school. I am having a hard time getting a job and finding needed help. I would really love it if people could help me financially but that is a dream in it self. I understand that people dont know if I am real or not but all I can say is that I am and if someone is generous enough to help me out they would be doing a great thing. I would be happy with 5 dollars I mean every little bit helps. I have really changed so much in my life to make a honest life with my kids and it hurts me that I cant give them the things that once had. They understand the situation a little but it still sucks for them because they are so young. I want to give them some security but here in hawaii it is quite difficult. I dont know what can help me but I just really dont want to go in to debt so that is why I am asking for help before we have to suffer more with those things. I am a open person and real as can be. I am not lying and well I hope that a decent person is willing to get to know me and my family enough to see that I am not scamming anyone. I really want grants for schools and I just dont know which ones are legit. But if anyone just wants to help me in monetary things that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for reading this and I hope that there are generous people out there that would like to help me and my kids in our time of need. I know there are alot out there and i probaly dont have a really hard story but I just dont want my kids to have to suffer a moment of hardships. Please feel free to respond. Thank you again

 

Comment: became disabled after major...
Note: This aidpage was started as a comment on "Christmas for Kids"

became disabled after major back surgery, 2yrs ago. was finally able to get disability, but now i have lost my food stamps. i am responsible for five children, my elderly mother who has very limited income and a brother who is blind and fighting for disability. the children are recieving medicare. i have hospital insurance through ssd, but no drug coverage. the medications i am suppose to take, including blood pressure, diabetic, pain meds and meds to prevent blood clots are over 1500 a month, needless to say i do not take any of them and am suffering worse health because of it. the disability i do recieve does not cover the bills let alone food for the kids.. my car was repossed and they are getting ready to forclose on the house, public housing is a 2 yr waiting list. I have been heating with a wood stove in the living room with wood we gather along the roads. i can not afford to use the furnace. i frequently go with out eating to make sure the kids have something, if not for the free meals at school the three youngest would not have enough to eat. now with christmas coming it it worse, no gifts for anyone. the kids have outgrown coats and shoes and i cant get them any. the only shoes i own are dollar store flip flops and with the rain and snow it is very cold getting around. thanksgiving is in a few days, there will be no feast or meat here. the only thing i have to be thankful for is that the kids are still with me. people and the government are quick to help people from other countries, but not the people from this country, it is very hard to be poor, but really degrading to not be able to qualify for basic help here. i did work full time for over 30 years as a nurse,but none of that counts. any help would be greatly appriciated. i love my kids, but i am beginning to think the only way to give my youngest three a chance at a good life again is to put them into the childrens home or foster care. the older kids are looking for jobs, but in west virginia even a job at mcdonalds has hundreds of people applying, and usually the adults get the. thank you for reading my post. jan
