This is my last ditch effort to get my finances in order. I have always been a very organized female with my finances. I was working in a successful career. Then the big D hit. DEPRESSION. I was diagnosed with depression back in Sept 2006(have documents for verificatin purposes if required). Lots of things were going on in my life that made it worse, my grandfather was diagnosed with stomach cancer, my grandmother, who just watched my aunt die of cancer in a 3 month period, was put on suicide watch because she was not ready to watch another loved one die. At the same time, I found out my mother had a gambling addiction that she attained to not have to deal with all that was going on, and it was effecting the entire family where she was borrowing and not paying back. This was all happening to my family back home in another province, which left me feeling very guilty and sad, for not being able to help more than I could, and it was down hill from there on out. I continued to work hard for months while I dealt with this new diagnoses. I struggled to get out of bed everyday, I just didnt want to live anymore, while my whole family was suffering back home. Then it got worse, I had to quit my job back on April 9th (have documents for verifiation purposes if required), due to the inability to function due to my depression. I was crying every day and barely able to get out of bed, depression hurts. My bills ran up to over $10k, as I had to pay rent, school fees, utilities and make sure my daughters was fed, all on credit. I am now on the road to recovery under a physicians care, but not working for the last 3 months has put me in a big financial hole that I cannot get out of, which is putting me back into the deep dark depression.

PLEASE HELP ME. Any financial help will help with my depressing debt. A loan/donation as small as $5.00 or more would be a great start.  I am willing to work out a repayment plan with anyone willing to help me out of this desperate situation.   PLEASE HELP. NEED HELP FAST. Repossesion of my belongs is due to happen any day now.

Thank you to all that help, may god bless you. Please feel free to contact me at candicebent@hotmail.com

M.O.M.S., MakingLemonade.com & SingleMoms.com have teamed to help single Moms and their children.

As founders of our single parent organizations, we know first hand the struggles most single parents families on a daily basis. The most common challenge for working single moms is just making it through the month with enough budget to buy the bare necessities and pay the bills.

This is why we created Give A Single Mom A Vacation! It's simple for our single moms to participate. Each month our members contribute $5 to have their name included in the following months drawing for a vacation giveaway. Some members put in $10 or $20 and they are given an extra entry for every $5 they enter. Or in some cases, the members put in extra for to enter the name of a single mom who cannot afford the $5. Our first vacation will be awarded September 15, 2006. Gift From God founder Brian Cook will draw a members name literally from out of a hat and that Mom and her kids are going on a VACATION. Every single dollar contributed is used for that months giveaway.

Unfortunately, the majority of the members cannot even afford the $5. Five Dollars is equal to a Gallon of milk or a couple of gallons of gas which will make the difference in getting to work or not. So, as some of us can sponsor a few members that cannot afford to contribute toward the drawing, we certainly need help in sponsoring others.

Please consider sponsoring one or more of our members.

Thank you,

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!

Asperger’s (HFA) Mom 

After fighting with the school board for years and home schooling my son for grade 3, I have now decided to open a small home based school for High Functioning Autistic/Asperger’s Children.

These children are extremely bright and eager to learn; however, as much as the school board claims there is a place for everyone, there is not always a place for them!
Many HFA/Asperger children suffer academically because there disorder is either not recognized, misunderstood or simply mistreated. Unfortunately HFA/Asperger’s is an invisible disability to the untrained eye. Where these boys and girls "look like" they should be capable of socializing and learning under the same circumstances as all other boys and girls this is not always the case.
The social aspect alone is a never ending battle field, not understanding social norms, cues and etiquette can make life confusing and unbearable for both children and adults alike.
I have witnessed HFA/Asperger's children excel, to not limits, when they are educated in smaller controlled environments.

On Friday the school threatened to call the police on my son (he is 10 years old) thinking this might make him behave, funny NO!!

The school board would like me to think that my son I some sort of enigma, but I know better. There are other Aspie kids out there, suffering at the hands of a school board who has not real place for them. Autism classrooms are available as are PDD and sensitivity classrooms, however Asperger’s children are too high functioning, too unpredictable, too violent THEY JUST DON’T FIT THE CRITERION.  These are the excuses I have heard for years ‘so lets make them conform’ this is the boards great idea, Inclusion inclusion inclusion. IT DOESN’T WORK!!!

There are other parent fighting this fight, others, who have to leave work 2 or three days per week to pick up there child at the schools request (DEMAND) in the middle of the day. Others who are struggling to home school because the other options are too expensive or the waiting lists are too long.

Specialty private schools where Autistic children are welcome, cost anywhere from $4000.00 to $5500.00 per MONTH.

$55000.00 (that’s right, fifty five thousand dollars) per year for a ten month program! That does not include before and after school care, lunch, technologies fees, uniform, extra curricular activities etc.

Oh and there are no guarantees that the program will benefit your child   academically, emotionally or socially.

OUR PLAN

I would like to open a small private home school for Asperger’s children in primary grades.

APSERGER SOLUTIONS Inc.

• Our school would consist of 8 to 10 children
• One full time educator and two classroom support workers (with Asperger’s experience)
• An Occupational therapist and Speech and Language Pathologist to help implement continuous programming (not just bi weekly visits)
• Self defense and social skill development
• Sensory integration, music therapy etc.
•  Over all, a safe place for our children to learn, excel and grow into productive members of society.

WHAT WE NEED TO MAKE OUR PLAN A REALITY

Funding to;

• Convert our brand new unfinished basement into a welcoming learning environment (approximately 1100 Square feet)
• To buy textbooks, notebooks, paper, pencils, chalk boards, chalk etc.
• Purchase O.T. supplies

Donations of

·        School textbooks grades 1-8  all subjects

·        Trampoline, hanging bag

·        Book shelves, desks

·        Desk top or Lap top computers

·        Sports equipment

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

I am a single mother of a special needs teenage. I had breast cancer  3 yrs ago and a heart attack on Feb 29, 2008. I've been on my job for 3 yrs and I love it. I just don't make enough money to pay rent and utilites. My medical bills are so high that I am going to file bankrupts, but this still will not help with the regular bills. My rent is 2 months behind. I can't get any assistance because I have a job. Maybe when I homeless the I will be able to get help. All I am asking for is for people to pray for me. I need it bad.  

I am 48 and a father of six. I have 7 dependants.  -I have not been working for almost 4 years. Life is becoming difficult. Employers are not very keen to employ persons who are over 40. There a plenty of young graduates out there searching for employments. These graduates are not particulars how much they get pay as long as there are works. I have tried and attended so many interviews but failed to secure any jobs. Household bills are accumulating. House loan has to be serviced and has not been serviced for 6 months. To sustain the family, I do all kind of works. I cut grass, collecting aluminium cans, wash plates etc. The money is not much but at lease  i could provide some foods for the family.

I am appealing to those with kind hearts to extend some financial assistant in the form of small donation. May God bless you all.

With this donation, I would start some small business and sustain my family.

Donation could be forwarded via Debit Card.

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.

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

Hey  !! My name is Crystal Coleman I am 20 yrs old and I have two twin boys that are Five months old and their names are Trevor & Leland . They are my Life. . To start off. Evey since I was little I was always in a family that did drugs and stayed in trouble I never knew my mom very well because she was in and out of jail, and I finally met my real dad when I turned 18YRS.I grew up with two brothers one is in jail now and has been in jail since he was 16. My little brother in in high school now and it is his senior year. When i was little i was sexual molested by my Uncle.. I felt that i could not tell anyone but when i did i told my Grandparents because they were the one we called mom and dad . When i told them they didnt belive me so the sent me off to live with my aunt here in Texas.. When i moved here i was treated like crap i had to go to school, cook dinner , wash dishes , wash clothes, clean my aunts room and rub her feet in the middle of a a school night . Her thought on school was that it came after what she wanted me to do for her! I belived in school first .. Anyways I finally ran away from her house at the age of 17 , from their i lived from house to house, and went to school. Thats when i met my husband , I fell in love i thought he was the real thing so we got married Oct 28, 2006 , but little did i know that when I said i do i would be put threw Physicaly and Emotional abuse. ( I got married at 18) I just put up with the abuse because i had no family to run to ... When i got married i was still in High School my husband didnt want me to go to school because he thought i would flirt with the boys , and he didnt want me to go on any school trips for all the same reasons.. Well thats when it all strarted the first time he just punched me in the face once and called me many names but I belived that he loved me so I didnt want to leave him.. But i did and when I had no were to turn to or no one to turn to I went back to him ... and the abuse got worse i had just had my gawbladder taken out when he decided to beat me the second time i was on the couch he decided that he wanted me to go to bed with him and i told him i was not ready for bed that i would be in the room in a min , well he didnt like that he followed me to the bath room and beat me in the shower , when he was beating me I went into an asthma attack and and refused to give me my medication. I left him that time for the second time. But as you might know already i went back because i felt in love and i felt that I couldn't live with out him. The third time he beat me he stopped in the middle of the high way and was yelling at me i told him to get out and let me drive because he was driving crazy because a EMS worker waved at me , when he got out of his little blue GMC truck i slidded over to the drivers side and as i was reaching for the door my husband grabed the door and slamed my head and arm in it many times and left me on the side of the road . This time i was determined i was not going back to him my aunt let me move in and while i was at school she also let him move in felt traped so i was with him again.. The Last time he beat me i was pregnate My friend was going to throw a graduation party for me because i had grauated well i was maken glasses for my party that said Senior Class Of 2007 and in the middle of maken a glass my husband asked me a question I didnt understand him so i asked him what he said and he started beating me, little did i know i was pregnant he held me in a conner and beat me and when i tryied to call the cops he took the phone and beat me more and the tore the house phone out of the wall and called his step mom and told her not to let me use the phone... I got out and when i did i went to the hospital and i found out i was pregnant 2 weeks later i was so excited but when i went to the hospital i found out that i was suspost to have triplets but when my husband beat me i lost a child. I was so upset with him, i couldnt figure out why he would beat me so much and just think everything was ok. I stayed away from my husband for 4 months and then i decided i was going to give him one more chance and this time it was not for me it was for the kids.. Well i didnt go threw physical abuse this time it was all emotional abuse this last time and i ended up having my babys earily because of all of stress and stuff he made me do , When i had the kids i thought it would change my kids lived in the hospital for 35 days after they were born i never got to touch my babys when they were born just a little while after they were in the hospital. They had so many cords on them because i had them 2 months earily. I went everyday to see my babys and my husband started getting jelious so i told him he better fix his act because if he didnt that the kids and i was leavin because we didnt have to put up with his crap. When the babys got out it was getting worse he didnt want me to have anything to do with my kids, and remember me telling you that my kids are my world well my kids gave me the strength to leave him for good , I went to a Family Abuse Center for a week now im living with a friend and i am getting a divorce. Every now and then I think mabey I should just go back because it might be easyier to just live with him because I have no car , no money and no house, but you know what  I refuse to go back to him when im breaking down and thinking about going back I listen to music . I Call this a Lesson Learned, and hold my two wonderful boys . Because it was a lesson Learned . I learned the hard way , but alway turn to god even when no one eles is their he is!! God knows what i went threw and he will take care of it at the end!!

My main problem right now is i want to move but i dont have the swecurity deposit.i will have to write more later....................

after reading other peoples post i really dont feel i should be asking any one for help. i have alot more than most and consider my self very lucky. one should not ask for more than they know they need.

Hope. Love. Peace.

I relocated from Mississippi with my 2 children 3 months ago and need assistance to pay my bills.  I still have not found a job, and government assistance does not help people in transition like me.  I am looking for a job and have signed up with several temp agencies, still no job.  Please help me if you can, my bills are piling up and things are being turned off, it's cold in GA this time of year.

I am a single woman who has recently become disabled. I worked full time in healthcare for over 20 years.

Any monetary donations would be greatly appreciated. Please click the link below or private message me through this page if you are seriously interested in helping. Thank you and God bless you.
