I like to do volunteer work and help with children that lack basic needs.  I love children, but have none of my own.  I have helped out several single parent familes around the holidays for the past few years.  I've found that some families need ongoing help all year and not just at the holiday season.  I have been a public school employee for 22 years, and serve on a local church board.  I prefer to help someone directly without going through an organization.  I've done volunteer work before for organizations and was surprised at how much of the donated funding was spent on administrative expenses, and how little went to the recipients.   I really like the concept of Aidpage. 

Please e-mail me direct at..... Troublentaken@msn.com ... thank you!

Hiya all.

Well, how do I introduce myself?

First of, I'm nobody and everyone...meaning I do not have a familiare name or face, but I have lived for a few years now, and during I have battled most fancy twitches and turns life has to offer.
On the basis of that, I like to think of myself as one that might lend advices and support to others fighting the same battles I have fought (and won)!

Most important to remember for all, no matter what the struggle is about; there's almost always a solution out there.

Looking forward to getting to know new folks...  ;o)

I am a single mother of a beautiful bright little boy who just turned one.  In addition, this past week, I took in my two sisters ages 8 & 12 who were homeless & living in GA.  I am in desperate need of holiday help, I am not asking for much, ANYTHING would be a blessing to these children.  I hate myself for the fact that they are hurting & I can not stop it.  I want to be able to give them a Xhristmas they deserve.  AS I said, I am not asking for much, ANYTHING would be appreciated.    My son loves naything that is Elmo, Winnie the Pooh, cars, etc... As for the girls, the 8 year old loves books, coloring, Plly Pockets, Brats, doodle bears, and computer games.  The 12 year old loves clothes and at her age it seems to be the ultimate definition of status.  She also loves music, Nelly Furtado, Chris Brown, etc...  She also loves to read and loves anytype of hair accessory, like straightners and makeup.  ANYTHING that can help would be greatly appreciated.

Im not even sure what this site is for other than just having people out there who know what im going through. I have spent the last few years wondering if im going to be able to hang on. Im an adult survivor of child abuse and sexual abuse. For most of my life I have been able to maintain, but recently I feel like im comming apart. Im sure most of it is related to the fact that my life latley is so out of control. The economy is so bad right now that the stress level's have reached an all time high. I know im not the only one out here suffering, I just feel like I am.  I was diagnosed with Post Tramatic Stress Syndrome, re-occuring depression, Severe Panic and Anxiety. So with all this going on the lack of money isn't helping. I know what I need to do, and I want to be able to do it, I just cant. And I know what your thinking not with that attitude, but I used to have a great attitude, I just lost it somewhere down the road. My husband is Disabled with a bad Back and Knee, It makes it hard because we are trying to maintain a house and raise 3 kids on his disability pay and it just doesnt work.. I've tried everything. I have tried to work and tried to go to school but I just cant finish anything. I start out great and then fizzle. It gets so bad I get so over whelmed I cant continue I start getting panic attacks and then im done. If anyone can offer suggestions Im open. Anything.

until then Im still hanging in there.

I am a 31yr old recently divorced mom of 3 kids. i was in a marriage for 12 yrs., and because of his disposition as a husband my kids and i have been thrust into a sandstorm and i'm trying desperately to feel my way through. i don' know who to talk to or where to turn. my greatest fear is because of my financial unstableness my children and i will suffer for something that i virtually had no control over. i'm lost and dont know what to do. i look at my kids everyday and my heart breaks even more.i want to give my kids the world they deserve it,they're good kids and dont deserve to go through this storm.pls help......lost,confused, and anxious to start living.

Hi i am a christian mother of five from the Houston area, I recently was layed off from my job in September and I decided to step out on faith and start my life long vision which was  to open a cajun christian based resturant and I invested every cent I had into persuing what God instructed me to do and unfortunantly it hasn't lifted off of the ground yet. God has blessed us to meet our bills and mortgage payments thus far, but we are unable to do anything for Christmas, this is the first time in a long time that I can't buy my children one gift, not even a christmas dinner. So if there is anyone out there who has already  stepped into their blessing from Christ and wants to bless someone else please respond. I have 3 sons 15,8,7 and also 2 daughters 6,4.

Thanks in advance-

Truely in need (sorry for the type error in my nickname)

I want to know are their scholarships and grants for people who have family members to

alcoholis and cancer. I am finishing my master in education and looking for grant to pay for my

PHD in Counseling and transportantion.

Last year I was hit by several tragedies and I am still in disbelief. March Seventeen of     “06” I broke my

ankle and I was in the emergency room for three hours a doctor walking by saw my leg he got x-rays.

The first week spent in hospital with my leg wrapped because of the swelling they couldn't do any

surgeries. Second week I had the surgery. After I was well enough to go home my dad me a wheel chair

and walker. At, the time my dad was sick going in and out of hospital it was an everyday thing. Then my

dad ended up in the hospital. I was at home and the phone ring and picked it up it was hospice which I

had no idea what hospice was for. Then told my dad was dying and he would put on hospice in the

house. I was called to meet with the doctor and my sister. The doctor told us my dad had two weeks to

live and he had liver cancer and any cancer treatment would instantly kill him. Since I had huge casts in

bed everyday while dad was slowly die across the hall.  May Ninth of last year, I came back home from

my second surgery to find my mom crying over dad his was slowly shutting down with his last tears we

prayed and on the same day at 8pm he passed. Now my mom takes care of me and my disabled

sister.But I have my education and I want to continue it my dad was my inpsiration and he still but my

mom has join my team. My education has become my number one priority it has kept me together and it

has become theraphy for all the pain and saddness is still there but I have future to look forward to. My

dad would have been proud.

I am a single mother of a 15yr old daughter.  We have been going through counseling due to the fact my God-daughter was killed by her father. I end up missing alot of work due to my daughter having episodes of crying and not being able to focus.  The father of my daughter has refused to help with any type of support to help me pay for the visits to the doctor's office.  And the only computer that I had was a laptop that my God-daughter asked to use in order to finish a assignment that was due. She had took that w/ her to her father's house and I haven't seen it since. I am so use to being an independent person and not asking for help but at this point in my life I know that I need it.  I have been very fortunate that my job has not fired me due to the days that I have missed but it makes it hard to pay the bills. I have already attempted to file for state aid but I was told that I make too much money to recieve anything. But I barely have enough money for rent and utlities.

Either way is good - the important thing is your participation. On Aidpage, people support each other by speaking out and by paying attention to each other - as simple as that.
