financial need

Female, 24
Mother/waitress/student
New York, USA

a little update for everyone.... I still havent gotten any funding to help with my schooling. I did have an offer from a member for assistance but then they sort of disapeared. I was kind of hurt by that but I am doing all right. I have a GPA of 3.5, which is excellent for me concidering the stress I am under. I have desided to continue my education in syracuse for a masters in architecture and I would like to design hospitals and hotels. My children will be in school by that point and I want it so bad I dont care if I run my debt into the ground. So I am taking out student loans to help with my education. I have already borrowed 10,000 dollars on top of my tuition each year. I need it for many things. But I appreciate the help that everyone has offered, especially the wizard. I have come to the conclusion that there are not any education grants for my situation. At least from what I undterstand in the eligability sections. I could have miss understood but if anyone knows anything else that might help then please write to me. Thanks again!

 

My name is Tracy. I am a 22 year old mother of 2 little girls and attending The Art institute Online for their Residential Planning Certificate. I am hoping to continue my education and obtain my bachelors degree in interior design. The only thing is I live in New York and the school I am attending is based out of Pittsburg. I qualified for about 500 dollars from the Pell grant and the rest I have to take student loans. I do not qualify for state aid because I am attending a Distance learning program. Once I have my certificate I will be qualified to get a job in a field that will enable me to provide for my family better than waiting tables (which is what I do now). I am wondering if anyone can give me information on federal grants that I would qualify for. Like I said I plan on continuing my education and I would like to continue through the Art Institute of Pittsburg but I cannot afford it. The only school in my area that offers interior design is Syracuse University and the tuition there is crazy. Plus it is still a 45 min drive and in the winter that wouldn’t be much fun. Also I am not so sure I would get accepted to that school. I would like to do as much research as possible in the next year till I am done with my certificate program so I am prepared to make the next step. Any information or suggestions will help, thank you so much!

All I want to do is lessen the burden of my tuition on my parents.
    I an the oldest in a lower income family.  I attend Concordia University in Seward, NE.  My family moved two years ago.  My dad owns his own business, and since the move he has not been successful in establishing his business.  My mom has taken a pay cut of over half of what she was making.  Our family income, which was up over $40,000 is now less than $20,000.  Because of this drastic difference, my family is having trouble paying bills let alone, a child in college.
    Concordia University is a private Christian (LCMS) school and with being a private school. the tuition is much more expensive.  Choosing to attend CUNE, was one of the greatest decisions of my life.  My parents are trying their best to support me, but because of my college choices, it is difficult.  All I would like to do is lessen the burden of my tuition on my parents. 
    I get a little financial aid from my school, but it is not near enough to close the gap we have to pay.  We filled out the FAFSA and it said that we could afford less than $500.00 to my higher education.  My school's tuition/room/board is just under $23,000.00.  I have received, at the most, $10,000.00 in scholarships, loans, and grants.  That leaves at least $12,500 difference that my family has to come up with each year so that I can continue my education.
    I plan to become a teacher. 
I want to become certified as a Lutheran teacher (that is why I chose CUNE). I am double-emphasizing within my education major.  Double-emphasizing means that I can teach more than one thing within the elementary school system.  My first emphasis is Physical Education (PE) and my second is Early Childhood Education.  Both areas are in need of teachers.
Sooo stressful....

Seeking financial aid, grants, scholarships, etc.

To whom it may concern:

My name is Amber Bernhardt and I am a senior in high school. I live in Canton, Ohio and go to Choices High School. I have had a rough time getting through school due to many family and personal problems and am almost ready to graduate. Yet, I have no way to pay for college. My mother is a single parent raising my and my younger sister. For 13 years, for financial reasons, we lived with my grandmother, scrimping and saving so that we could move into a place of our own. Finally in May of this year we were able to move into a duplex of our own. We currently have one vehicle between two houses and that's a difficult move to pull off, especially since I am the only one in my entire immediate family with a driver's licsense. My day usually starts at about 6:30am, when I wake up to take my little sister to school. I come home do laundry, dishes, or some other odd job that needs done around the house. At about 10:45am, I take my uncle and my mom to work. They work at the same restaurant and for the same people that they've worked for since before I was even thought of, yet, they get paid very little. After I take them to work I come home, try to catch up on homework or relax for a little while before 1 o'clock rolls around, which is when I have to go back to the restaurant and pick my mom and my uncle up for their break inbetween shifts, which they work everyday. I take my uncle to my grandma's, which is where he currently lives, and my mom and me go home. At 2:40pm I go to pick my sister up from school, come home and get my stuff for school and my mom. I take my little sister to my grandma's, where she stays after school while I go to school and my mom and uncle are at work. When I drop my sister off at my grandma's, I also pick my uncle up, in order to take my mom and my uncle back to work for the night shift. Then when all that is done and over with, I take myself to school. I am currently going to night school because of my family needing my availibility during the day in order to get to work, school, etc. I have had a very long hard road to try to walk on and get through school in order to graduate with an actual high school diploma. I had to drop out of school for about a year in order to get a job and help my family with bills. I finally went back to school in September and will be graduating with an actual high school diploma in June. I keep emphasizing "actual high school diploma" because I was so worried that after dropping out, I would only be able to go back to school and obtain my G.E.D. Thank god that is not the case. My mom has her G.E.D. and I've seen that it doesn't really do alot for you in the world of work. So, I've pushed myself in order to be able to get back in school and now I'm finally going to meet my goal of graduating. I have dreams of going to college and obtaining a Master's degree in Occupational Therapy with the hope of opening my own Pediatric Occupational Therapy Center in the future. Occupational Therapy has been the career that I've wanted to pursue for about the past 5 years. I fell in love with Occupational Therapy when after years of rigorous physical therapy sessions my little sister had endured due to complications at birth, she was sent to an Occupational Therapist. I would go with my mom and my sister to her therapy sessions and I would watch the drive and the passion that the therapists had and I imagined how wonderful it would be to help make the lives of children who are less fortunate, easier and more normal. I knew then that it was a very rewarding and wonderful career. That would be awesome if I could have all of my dreams come true, but in order to do that I need money. The one thing that has stopped most of everything in my life from becoming a possibility. I really honestly believe that there are people out there who want to help and will help, you just need to ask for it. Although I am very hardworking and pretty satisfied with my life, this is one thing that I really NEED to ask for help with and this is my way of reaching out and asking for someone to please help me. I am a very selfless person and am always willing to help others, which is the why it is so hard for me to ask for help. I would really, really apprieciate the help if anyone out there can afford to. I will not let you down or waste your money. I am willing to work as hard as I possibly can to obtain my goals and dreams. I just need a little help to get me started on a successful path.

Sincerely,

Amber Bernhardt

Canton, Ohio

I am a 44 year old Africian American female in distress.  I can't sleep at night knowing I may be homeless in a few days.  I am also in the process of losing my car.  I have never asked for help before but I am pleading with the world for help.  I have run out of choices and really need some financial assistance.  Please see it in your heart to help me and I will be forever greatful.  I have always found time to visit the sick and shut-in, visit the hospitals and nursing homes, pray for those in need and now I find myself in financial need of $5000.  I am about to lose everything I own.  I need a fresh start.  Please help me.
Help this single mom help her kids

Hey there

 

I am a single mother of 2 wonderful kids.  My 15 year old suffers from bipolar disorder.  My 9 yr old is all boy.  I applied for SSI and recieved it.  The extra 500-600 dollars a month is sure gonna help.....

At least that is what I though.  It took 9 months to get approved.  Then I find out some new information.  The back pay is only for medical needs or education.  Medicaid pays most of the medical expenses.  She needs to be in school but the anxiety prevents this.  Now they say I make too much money to get food stamps anymore.  There goes 138 dollars towards food.  Then they say I make too much for the Section 8 assistance,  well not exactly too much.  They were helping with 342 dollars a month with rental assistance which was dropped to 27 dollars a month.  Needless to say the 500-600 dollars a month extra ended up costing me almost as much in losses..  So we appealed and were approved and technically now I am lucky to have an extra 30 to 130 dollars a month to help.

I am working full time with a decent job but I only make around 1200 a month bring home.  We struggle alot.

I work hard, but its wearing me out fast.  There is so much and no dad to help.  He says he will but never does.  You know how that is.  He does love his kids but not enough to work hard and help support them.  Take him to court and he will never even call his kids so I struggle.  I want them to know their father.  I want them to talk to him so I don't push the issue.  He live a very long way away so they don't get to see him often as it is.  Once in the past 3 years.  So I struggle.

I would love to be able to give my children more.  I give them all I can but I am tired ALOT.  So I struggle.

Single mom seeking financial assistance

I am a single mom of my 1 year old daughter.  I just recently lost my job.  I attempted to apply for public aide where I was told that I have a financial management problem.  Currently, my only source of income is $250.00 a month for child support.  I just need some form of temporary assistance to keep a roof over my daughters head and to keep her fed and healthy.

Dear Most noble donator/sponsor:

Hello, my name is Mariah S. Manuel and I am writing this letter regarding attending Clark Atlanta University, it will cost $27,000 per year.  I am a recent graduate of Lewis Cass Technical High School in Detroit, Michigan. While attending this institution I was a member of various organizations. These organizations include Dance Workshop, Book Club, Senior Executive Board, National Honors Society, and the Editor of the Yearbook. Although a faithful member of many rigorous organizations that needed the bulk of my time, I was able to graduate with a 3.15 grade point average overall.  While in school I also maintained a part-time job at Otto’s Crispy Co. This position gave me the chance to work with many different people and learn to use my customer service skills in a public company. In school, I was also able to participate in many community service acts that add up to at least 200 hours. These community acts include Coats for Kids, Shoes for Shorties, Gleanor’s Food Drive, Red Cross Blood Drive, March of Dimes, and many other food, penny, and clothing drives. I was also a dedicated after-school tutor to many of my peers in the school.
 The reason I am writing this letter is to ask for assistance on my further educational career. I am recently registered as an incoming freshman at Clark Atlanta University for the 2005 school year as an English major. The tuition for attendance each year is at least 27,000 dollars. I am recently taking out as many loans as possible, but because of my age and inexperience effort of credit I am constantly being denied. These past weeks have been really stressful and confusing. I am a graduate of a well-known high school and going to a historically black college, but I have not received one scholarship from any of the 75+ organizations that I have applied for. I am really in a disposition and desperate for any assistance that I can receive from anyone in the world.
Please understand that I do intend to use my education to an advantage. I plan to study and stay focused on my schoolwork and to earn a bachelor’s degree at the end of my four years of attendance.  I plan to give back to the community as I have done for the past four years. I want to be able to start a college fund for $10,000 to an African-American child in my same position, so that they will not have to experience the same heartache of knowing there is a possible chance they will not be able to attend the college of their choice.
 If you would like to be a donator or sponsor to my disposition of finance please contact me at cass_tech05@yahoo.com

        Thank You in advance,

 I am 43 years old,I am disabled(C-spine injury),and I can't work as a result from the injury.My husband is the sole provider.We have two children.A girl(26),and a boy(25).Our children are grown now.Our son,his fiance,and their little girl has recently moved back in with us.He is unemployed at the moment.Our son is currently looking for a job.He has applied everywhere!No one is hiring around here.
 My husband is 44 years old.He started having seizures about a year ago.We don't know what causes them.He has a new job now,but I do worry that he may have a seizure at any time.He is trying to catch up on our bills but something always sets us back.This is the worst financial crisis that we have been in.I am always on the internet looking for some financial assistance.We don't quallify for foodstamps.He makes too much money.They don't take into account our bills.They said that his salary is more than they allow.My son's fiance goes to our local food bank sometimes for us.We still average over a hundred dollars a week on groceries and supplies.I really don't see how we,along with so many others are supposed to make it anymore.Prices continue to rise on everything!Gas prices are outragious!But the pay doesn't adjust to offset the rising inflation.My hope is that someone out there can read this and other pleas on here and reach out a helping hand.I know that they are scam artists out to take you for money but they are ways to prove that the financial needs are real.Ask for proof of a bill that is behind.(You could black out the account numbers,personal info.,etc..)Get proof of actual needs.Don't just assume that everyone is out for handouts.Some of us are really in a bind and do not know where to turn to.
 We used to be the ones who reached out and helped everyone else.My husband was an E.M.T-I and a first responder for years here in our county.He would go beyond the normal to help someone in need.We took in troubled teens with nowhere else to turn.We took up donations at our church to help single mothers that were to young to be parents,but found theirselves alone and abandened by parents,the state,the babies fathers,etc...We never turned them away.Some were very troubled youths,somehow we managed to help them.Almost every one of them were able to get on their feet and move on.We stay in touch often.
  I think if eveyone reached into their hearts and tried to help in some small way that the needs of the people of our country would be met.I know that once my husband and I get financially stable again that we will continue to reach out to our community.

I have a website that is dedicated to helping people.  I share my money making ventures, my cheapo shopping tips and links to resources that may help those in need.

Topics range from domestic violence to help financially with prom needs.

helpanother.blogspot

Now, I and my family are in need.

I lost my job, (ok, i quit in a moment of rage) I cannot believe I did it but I did.

I do not recieve cash assistance, I am looking for a job, rent is due in a few days and my savings is about gone.  I live in a VERY small town it is very hard to get a job out here.   ....sorry to ask, but I have three kids and am alone.

christian in need of finances

My bills are coming due fast.  We had an emergency that almost killed my son's dog and now all our bills are behind.  I have not had a late payment on any of my cars, home, credit cards in the last 10 years.  This year has been really hard on us considering that we still have not recovered from my husband's heart attack last year.  This is not a joke!  If anyone has extra cash to donate we are in need.  I am usually the one giving but I guess it is my turn to receive.  I have a very hard time doing this online but I believe that God lead me to this website.  I was looking for an answer to my situation from the bible and when I put in money this website came up.  If there are any people who can be part of my miracle I know that God will bless them.  He does me all the time.  My immediate bills are $ 2, 190.00.

Firefighter family in need 4 children with mom not able to work

I am a 31 yr old firefighter that has a wonderful wife and 4 kids. We were doing great until my wife was diagnosed with a mental health illness that causes her not to be able to deal with the stress of work. I make decent money but am now about to lose our house unless i can start making more money for the family. A while back when she was working we bought a nice 3 bedroom house for us and all of our kids. But with her not working until her benefits start to kick in from the state I cant afford our home. I am a very dedicated father, husband and firefighter. I responded to help the Katrina victums for 16 days . I am constantly training to better educate myself so I can serve my community better. I am very worried because in this part of missouri it is almost impossible to find a rental home for 4 kids./ We have two 8 yr old daughters, one 5 yr old girl and a 4 yr old boy. I work very hard to provide for them but I just keep coming up short every month. I love my wife more than anything and support her and her condition but she cant go back to work with her illness or else the stress will put her back in the hospital. Her and our 5 yr old daughter are hearing impaired , and our oldest has generalized anxiety disorder. I spend most of my days off taking them to the doctors for their appointment and taking care of the family to keep the stress level down at home. At work I run out in the middle of the night to help a complete stranger in need. And now I am in need of help keeping my home for my family but dont know where to turn to, hoping some more fortunate american family would help my family get back on our feet until things level out. We have some very smart beautiful kids we are raising and are only wanting the best for them. I would appreciate some help to get us up and going .

I am a single mother of a 12y/o son. I was in a near fatal car accident on 3/10/2005 when someone ran a stop sign which crushed my pelvis & fractured my C2-C3 vertebrae (hangman's fracture) which resulted in numerous surgeries over 1 month hospitalization & left me permanently disabled. I am now trying to live on $979 per month that I receive from Social security that took 2yrs to receive. My mortgage alone is $849 per month therefore I am desperately in need of any assistance anyone could offer as I have exhausted all of my savings & needless to say as a result of filing bankruptcy to relieve my million+ $ obligation to pay medical bills not covered by the Florida NO FAULT INSURANCE I have no resources left to fall back on & fear the imminent loss of my home & everything I worked very hard to provide for myself & my child. If anyone can offer any assistance I would sincerely appreciate your kindness!

In 2005 I was on business in Russia and met a Russian woman with a child.  We feel desperately in love and sustained our love through visits to Russia by me, to America by her, and by telephone and e mail.  Ours is no Internet romance nor is she a "mail order bride."  We married in April 2007during her first visit to America.  Our daughter is almost seven.  My wife cannot leave Russia until a debt is repaid to her ex-husband.  She and her ex bought this apartment jointly with her parents.  He abandoned her when our daughter (his biologically) was 13 months old.  In order to make our dreams come true--being united and living in America--we need between $25-30,000. 

We need an angel who will co-sign for a loan so that I can pay this debt and bring them here. I love my wife and our little girl--I'll never call her "step-daughter."  I will pay interest to you for a co-sign.  I'll do anything you ask short of criminal activity.  I am unable to get extra credit to take to Russia to pay this debt.  Please consider helping in any way you can.  Thank you.

In DESPRATE NEED of some financial assistance or help

I am a 25 year old wife and mother of 3 beautiful children. I have seeking employment  for months and regardless of how many applications I have put in or interviews I've gone on no one will hire due to my past and the record that now follows me. My husband is in a program called work experience due to disabilities, and will not be getting paid this month because he missed three days last month due to me having surgery and a meeting with our son's therapist for his autism. I really don't know where else ot turn when I have no income. I have already signed up for welfare to keep us above water until I find a job, but that isn't helping , because they aren't giving us anything unless we complete a certain number of hours a month prior to recieving any help. My bills aren't going to stop coming and I can't hardly afford to buy diapers for my sons or put gas in my car, not to mention we are running out of food. I have away to take care of and get everything ,but the money for bills. I am at my wits end and have thought of everything I can do to make this situation better for my kids. I am scared that I am going to lose my home most of all. I am really ashamed of myself because my children didn't ask to be here nor apart of the struggle they are now in. If there is anyone who can help us  in anyway my family willbe forever grateful. I won't sit here and make false promises to repay money, because I don't now when I would/will be able to repay anyone. I just hope someone here will hear my cry and plea for help, and find it in their heart to help us in our time of need. It will be a blessing to our family, and in return our God will pour out an abundance on you and your family for living in the way he wants us to. I may not have the finances necessary to survive in our economy, but there is always someone worst off than I am so I give what I can and thank God for what we do have, which is our health, lfie, love, a real family, and most of all GOD!

Would YOU help me please?

Dear Reader,

First of all, I would like to say thank you for taking the time to read and consider my needs. 

I am a teacher who is trying to re-enter the work field due to a past illness.  I am a single mom with an 8 year old daughter who is dependent upon me as well for her needs.  I currently live in a small town where there is little opportunity for employment.  I am substitute teaching, however, the days that I am called to work are few. 

I have a couple of bills (total = $1800)that are delinquent and need taken care of.  As well as, I am desperately trying to relocate to a bigger city suburb where there is much more opportunity for teaching - both substituting and permanent positions.  The total I would need to relocate is $2400 to move and cover rent/deposits.  I am positive that I can work there once I get there (many internet ads and job postings)... but I need help getting there.

Please... any help that you could give to my daughter and I would be GREATLY appreciated!

I can be contacted by email:  rhea625@gmail.com

Thank you so much,

Rhea

 I just wanted to update my request for help from anyone on aidpage.I am still in need of assitance financially.But I have been on the internet constantly trying to apply for any kind of help that we can find!I am not looking for easy money.I have really been in a desperate situation!My husband tries so hard and we just keep getting further behind on our bills.He has found a decent job making pretty good money.It is very hard work and he is so exhausted when he comes home because of the heavy lifting he has to do all day.He never complains,just very sore and real quiet the rest of the afternoon.I don't know how long he can keep it up with his health not being that great anymore.I am trying to find a way out of our terrible situation.We have been in a bad loan from a predatory lender.We are trying every avenue that we can find to get out of this arm loan that we found ourselves locked into.The mortgage company has attempted in every way possible to take our home!We just hang on,but the future is bleak without some help!Our son,his fiance,and their little girl have had to move back in with us.Our son hasn't been able to find a job as of today yet.He has applied everywhere in our area but no one is hiring right now.The ones that were have already hired people to fill the possitions.So my husband has to support them as well as ourselves.If I could find assistance for us I would be so relieved!I am not able to help in any way because of being disabled.And believe me I wish there was a way for me to work and help our finances.I am currently trying for any organization or charity that I can find to plead for help.I have exhausted any means that I could in the quest for help.If any one out there can help in whatever way please contact me.My efforts to get relief for my husband are boundless.We have been together over half of my life!(I am 43)I could not have asked for a better husband or a more caring father for our children.I would go to the ends of the earth to save my husband from pain and heart ache!If you can please help out another's need for help.Know that we would never be ungrateful or unappreciative of any persons knowledge or attempts to give advice or donations.We are honest people who are now in bad need ourselves.

I found this site, after looking for help with some immediate financial needs.  I work hard in my profession, real estate & mtgs. But due to the market, it has been slow, and I do other internet work, which is time consuming, and does not pay enough.  Yet it is more than getting hourly jobs.  I also recently went into another business, and feel confident that finally things will be turning around. 

But now I lost some contracts, set to close, and have no money for my rent.  I am already behind for May and June.  I desperately need to come up with $1800 by the end of this month, and can then catch up with the rest soon.  Otherwise, I will be evicted, and of course, there goes my job as well. 

I keep praying, and work on positive affirmations, and have asked for various energy treatments.  It takes a lot to come forward, and ask for help from strangers.  If there is anyone there that can help, I would be eternally grateful, and will pay it forward.
