I am looking for help either in a grant or something to get my mobile home repaired...My roof is leaking badly and is damaging the inside ceiling of my home...I need a new roof and the local contractors are estimating between $3000-4000 to fix my roof and that does not include repairing the inside ceiling...I'm 74 year old widow living on my husbands social security of $800 per month and have nothing left after I pay my bills. I am sending this on my son's computer, he is also disabled but does work part time and helps me when he can, but I am in need of immediate help as the rainy season is soon to start.

I am working full time while trying to make it through a four year degree program to earn my Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science.  I am majoring in General Information Technology while leaning towards Networking.  My ultimate goal is to eventually create and manage a company that works with contractors to create assisted living smart homes for the elderly and the physically impaired.  I feel this will create a sense of security for the residents as well as their families.  I do not want to stop at a remote control that shuts lights out from one location.  I want to include voice recognition, automatic lighting, vehicle recognition, etc.  I also want to make this an affordable solution rather than an unattainable project.  I plan on becoming certified in many areas of Networking & Security and will acquire these titles as necessary for the position.  Currently, tuition is $1743 per 6 credit course with one course being paid via Federal Aid.  My Federal Aid worksheets show that I should be able to pay for anything beyond this (including all books, supplies, room & board, etc.) from my own pocket - I can't as I'm sure many other college attendees can't.  I've applied for alternative loans but, have failed to secure these loans due to not having a co-signer.  I do not have anyone that can co-sign the loan.  As you can see - I have a dilemma.  I would like to take on two courses, at least, per quarter and would prefer eventually three in order to complete my degree sooner.  I am searching for any type of aid available to help me with my career goals.  I am married and have two younger dependents, a house payment, two vehicle payments, etc.  (I'm sure many others do, too).

Hello -

My mother had to have open heart surgery not so long ago. The recovery had her down for awhile. Needless to say she got really behind on her bills. I am an only child and pretty much live paycheck to paycheck as well. We are doing everything we can to try to get everything paid off. But, so often it seems as if we are robbing peter to pay paul. I don't really know how this site works. But, if there is any one out there who would care enough to help an older woman get back on her feet, it would be greatly appreciated. You can contact me at wild_heart_@hotmail.com

Thank you so much!!

I am a very sincere and caring person. I want to help our senior citizens feel like they are wanted in our country and are loved at the same time. This is why I am searching for grants to care for the elderly, in their own home. I know approximately 95% of the elderly are sent to nursing homes and the other 5% are living with family. I know that when I'm a senior citizen I will want to live in my home as long as possible. This is where I come in. They need help for daily tasks. I want to give them this help. My parents and in-laws are in their 60's and 70's. My father and my father-in-law are both very ill and their wives are taking care of them as much as they know how and as much as they can. They both have very limited incomes (SSI, VA, and Social Security), as you all know this money is not very much to live on. There are hundreds of thousands of eldery that do not have the money or the resources to get them through life. Why must they struggle? Were they not helping to run this country in their younger years? Did they not go to war for our country and save many many lives? The answer to those questions and many others is YES! But what they hear now is no, I'm sorry you make $2.45 more than our policy asks for so we must deny you for assistance. So what happens, they either don't eat as much as they should because they need to buy medication or they cut their medicine in half of what they should be taken. This is America!! This is a country where we help each other and we are to be one of the richest countries in the world...where is the money for our elderly if this is so?

I need help with what I am trying to do. I can not do this on my own but am willing to put as much time and effort into helping the elderly and to make America understand that our government is not doing all they can do to help. I want to help the elderly in simple daily tasks (laundry, grocery, cleaning, organizing, fixing, etc.) and charge them by what their income is (I have to charge something due to having a college student and we all know how much that costs) and find a grant that will supliment what the cost will be after the client already paid. OR, have a grant that will pay for the entire service!

Please inform me at suekey1@aol.com, if you know of any grants that will help with this very serious program.

Thank you!

I have been batting my head to help senior citizens and I finally came up with something!

I recently got laid-off from a non-profit organization. I have many years of experience in non-profit's and from the past 15 years it seems as though people are focusing on youth and community. Don't get me wrong, I feel there is a strong need of help for both of them. What I am looking to do is to help the elderly. I have not seen nearly as much attention/funding in this area. It's a shame that we "forget" about the elderly and focus on everything but.

Not just working for non-profits do I notice the elderly being forgotten, but also through my own family and friends. They just get left behind and it's time that we stand up for them, they are intelligent, sincere, and even helpful. It's time to do something about this disgrace in America.

I would like to know where I can receive grant money to start helping the elderly. I would like start an organization and/or business in helping them clean, wash clothing, grocery shop, organize, help them understand their medical, etc. I would like to do this on an income basis. Charge them a percentage (low) of their income and have the grant pay for the rest. It's the least we can do to help them...all of them!

If anyone has information on how to get this started, please contact me at suekey1@aol.com.

I have personal needs but my plea now is to help elderly people who are losing their homes. I have a non-profit public charity,  I am doing what I can to help but thus far it is no way enough. In 1 1/2 days  with the help of others,13,000 was raised to at least outbid . Land is now being taken for the taxes.  There is another elderly lady who has two mortages and both are about to go into forclosure.  My organiation is:

I have both of my parents living with us in an attached apartment to my house. We are in desparate need to have work done on their floors-wheelchair issues-and bathroom-accessability/safety issues. Both of my parents are 68 yrs. old and disabled. We make too much money for local/state assistance but not enough money to hire anyone to do the work, supplies, etc. I can't find any help. Between prescriptions, food, utilities, mortgage, etc., we just can't afford a loan or even to save money over time. We have tried. They have been with us for three years and the situation is just getting harder to keep up with. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

My mom was scammed by a roofer.  We have heard that there is a program that will pay for a new roof for her but not sure if it is a government program for elderly or for those who have been scammed or for those on low income.  Would like to find out about this program if there is one.
