I'm 17 years old and have expensive tastes. I recently got laid off my job because "they couldn't afford to keep me on." I got laid off right before this big expensive birthday party i had planned for myself. It costs around 700. I paid $100 but still need to pay the rest. I can't make my friends understand and my parents are furious. I need help. I do.

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!

My reply (soulight)
Ineedcashasap Here is what you should do. Read at least 5 stories of other people posting on Aidpage. Think about why your friends don't understand and your parents are angry.

Get a job to earn the extra money and postpone your birthday party until you can afford it the way you want it to be.

Aplologize to your parents for causing them stress and heartache.

Thank your friends for caring enough to wonder why you want what you do . Ask them what they would do .

Volunteer your time to help someone who is homeless and has kids the same age as you . Help them plan a birthday party.

 

Read 5 more Aidpages .

Thank God for what you do have and don't always want more.soulight

hi i am new to this site and i hope someone out there can help my family.i currently am living with my 82 year old grandmother and her mortgage is behind 1,967.00 due by feb. 29th 2008 and it is already feb.20th 2008. if we cannot come up with this money they are going to foreclose on her house and she has been living hear for over 50 yrs. i seriously don't want that to happen. i was helping her with the bills until my doctor put me out of work in april 2007 and has not yet let me return. so i have no income to help her.but i wish i could or someone out there can. i am also expecting my first child in 3 weeks and do not have any thing for my unborn child. we have had to use agencies in the past for the other bills . but there is no agency here to help pay mortgages. and other family members of ours say they do not have the money to help. so if there is anyone out there that can help me and my grandmother out so we will not be homeless please leave a comment on my page and it will be greatly appreciated by all means.  

 

may god bless everyone!!!

p.s. we only have 9 days until foreclosure .

there is no way i can write about all that i have seen and been through, i guess the easy way to explain is i was born in 1969, the first year i was arrested was in 1979,   for runaway(i did not enjoy my "dad" punching me in the face)  i was arrested so many times for runaway that they eventualy put me in YDC (juvanile detention) i was commited there at 13 years of age, and stayed there till 17 with many escapes and just not getting along,  at 17 i robbed someone at knife point i took his 15 dollars he had in his pocket, was arrested again this time because of my extencive history they sent me to prison at 18, i did my 5 years and got out now if you can imagine how i was when i got out 10 years locked up, so full of hate and anger one thing my dad passed on to me was his anger except i was so much worse then him, then i met  stacey she became my girlfriend, had our oldest daughter,(cutting Katrinnas embilacul cord was very eye opening to me) i was not real nice to her, at this time i had no clue what love was but by her staying with me even though i was not very loving to her, well i was but more like my dads form of love(allthough i never punched her ) i was not very nice, but yet she stayed we had many more kids, and about 8 years ago i opened my heart to GOD asked his son to be my saviour, now after 15 years we get along very well and mostly are very Happy,except for money issues,

why im i writing this stuff?

 i feel that i am facing my last days in this world and its just not right

i love my kids and wife so much i will die for them,

i used to want to die so bad, now all i can think of is seeing my kids grow up and being there for them as a parent should be, my wife and kids changed me but they would not have been if not for GOD so i say to you all no matter what happens in life, we cannot blame GOD he gave us free will he does not want this type of life for his chrildren.

Dear Reader,

I am writing this Testament to express my grim so very grim tales of woe. Help, while it would be delightful and greatly appreciated I have at best a heavy heart full of doubt for I feel I have never received any, Truly. Both my Wife and I have four beautiful Children they are a gift from God and are loved with all of our hearts. We have done our best to shelter them from the evil that has attached us in a most horrid way. My wife and I both have parents we really cannot lean on, hers for medical and financial reasons and mine very similar except my parent have just recently lost their house and my wife and I have done the same. Our Home was what we put everything we had into, our life savings all gone in the sweep of an eye. It all started about 6 years ago when we went into business and worked real hard for everything we earned, had fairly good people who worked for us and depended on the jobs we provided for them to support their families we all built a successful business. About 1.5 ago one very large client an owner of a national chain of restaurants stiffed us out of about $400,000 Dollars, and yes we filed liens and got Attorneys involved at even more cost to us in which my parents and my wife and I that ended poorly for us. They were just over a billion dollar industry they could afford to wait us out and file continuations and appeals, our attorneys wanted more and more, we had to hawked our homes to the hilt My parents and ours just to keep the business open. This was not an easy thing to do, I mean to convince my wife and momma to put up their houses.

Around 9 months ago one of our employees embezzled about 30 grand from our company, went all over and wrote our business checks and forged our signature and what did she get for that a weekend in jail and 5 years probation with restitution of about $ 25.00 per month, we have received only one payment, that’s justice for you. We worked hard to rescued the business and worked hard to get the business a float with our deceitful interest only mortgages over our heads we landed a contract with a family ran development company and felt it was a good fit they had just bought the local mall for $4 million dollars in our town and was going to renovate it. We felt it was a God send but al last they hooked us for about 375K well again we turn to the local DA’s office for help. They investigated and had found out that these people have done this before and stated that “these guys are credit thieves and would love to go after them; However they did just invest 4 million plus into the local economy and had “Real Deep Pockets” and were buying up more real estate with their ill gotten gains. The DA’s office just did not have the funds to go after them and told us that we would have to get attorneys and file a civil action. Well, with heavy hearts we did that, we got the best our few remaining dollars and credit could muster. These guys were real good they took us for our last little bit, they had full disclosure and scooped up every last little bit we had and eventually recommended Bankruptcy. Well we tried to go that route. Went out and hired some attorneys to file bankruptcy, they never did file it just waste our last 5 grand and now don’t return our calls or except them.

We sold everything at auction, these evil rich people had the audacity to show up and mock us, saying they told us they would put us out of business and we would never get a dime from them, and you know they were right. We eventually pulled enough together to moved out of there with our head hung down, and I’d like to say it ended there we moved away to start a new life. I really tried to move to Canada or any place other then America, I had lost all faith in a system that had abandoned us every time in our time of need just because we didn‘t have the money to buy justice. My wife and I supporting our entire family we got new jobs and worked real hard but I had a bad turn of luck on the health front in that I had my leg punctured and no not at work. I had an antibiotic resistant bacteria try to kill me and then had received Steven Johnston syndrome as a result from sulfur based Antibiotics. Lost my job and now cant pay rent, ran up medical bills, had the car repossessed and feel like the fair haired orphan child asking for a hand out every time I go to the doctor. Did I mention we sold most all of our worldly possessions just to survive? Here we sit penniless poor as the poorest church mice realizing our American dream is all but lost. We cant help to feel that all hope is lost and at every corner we hit a ruff spot. It is called hopelessness, a sorrow that hurts you to your core. I never could believe people could do these evil thing to one another. Don’t they know it is hurting my children, fine kill me but why hurt children and please spare my wife, I don’t know how she has endured this. I have to admit it feels good to right it down I left out some details of further depression mainly about turning to people for help and receiving nothing. I’d like to add that when we were on the top we helped many, but since then have never met anyone like us that would help us. At least we are not alone for every day I see the news and their yelling Credit crunch and Mortgage matters, yet it is still all about the money isn’t it.

A preacher at our local church once told me he might help 10 people knowing perhaps 7 or 8 of them really didn’t need the help, But he felt good about helping to those 2 or 3 that did. We are one of the 2 or 3 and the preacher I knew long ago is long gone and so is his way of thinking. I always lived by that code, help others and someday it will be returned. I am not mad at God or blame him I would like to try to understand his plan it is confusing but I am sure he wants us to have this experience for at least it has brought us together. Some here the 7 or 8 that don’t need help should really not ask, it is a horrible sin I would think, and yet some would mock the 2 or 3 asking for help, some are cynical I completely understand that for I have come to see that evil people make good people sour. Please feel my heart filled plea and don’t just don’t down the poor for at least some of us still stand together or stand for something. We still keep the faith no matter what, no matter what. Good day and my God bless all of you.

I am married to a disabled Marine.  He is 44 years old and has limb-girdle muscular dystophy.  Thankfully his disease has been progressing slowly and he was able to work as a self-employed carpet installer up until Sept 07.  We immediately applied to have his disability rating increased, but learned today that it will be another 3-6months.  We have 2 children at home, a daughter 17 (diabetic), and a son 18.  I lost my job making pretty good money in May 06 due to the company being sold.  I was unable to find another job so I am currently a full time student at the local community college which is paid for through Job Training.

 We have been unable to pay a power bill all winter and are quickly sinking having lost the income of 2 jobs in 2 years.  We were going through a bankruptcy when my husband became disabled and our attorney filed for a moretorium on our behalf which has so far saved our home.  We qualify for $230/month food stamps, but that lasts about 2 and a half weeks.

Our families have helped as much as they can, but they can't afford to help for another 3-6 months.

I have been searching for organizations, but most of them are focused on the Iraq veterans, or active duty personnel.   If anyone knows of any groups that can offer assistance, we would appreciate it!

HELP!!! Please!!!

 

I am a 38 year old man who is living with Multiple Sclerosis. I am married to a wonderful woman, who is also disabled with back issues. We have three children all with their own individual problems.

 

Our first child Chantal age10 is living with Type 1 Diabetes, ADD, and Learning Disabilities.

 

Our second child Joshua age 7 is a very bright boy. He has a form of autism known as Aspergers Syndrome, Anxiety Disorder, and Sensory Integration Disorder.

 

Our third child Haley age 6, has had a rough first few years of her life. She has had to undergo a few surgeries in order to understand why she wasn’t eating at first and why her liver wasn’t working well.

 She was considered “failure to thrive” among a few other issues.

 

We recently had sold our house in New Hampshire due to financial and medical needs so we had moved to Arizona because I  had needed the climate change for my health. Upon arriving in Arizona, we found out that we had been the victims of false advertising on the internet, when the property we saw online turned out to be a “dump”, which was not what the website had shown.

 

So after driving for four days to get there and wasting three-thousand dollars we had saved to get there, we found ourselves having to borrow money from my sister in law to get ourselves and our belongings to Tennessee, where she lived.

 

We are a family that is struggling just to stay afloat. My wife Melissa, has to work just so that our children can get the medications that require and to cover the co-pays for every appointment.

 

My wife has endured so much in her lifetime and I wish she would just get a break in life so she may relax and have time to be pampered. She has had to endure such a rough childhood of abuse from her parents, growing up in foster homes and group home settings. The pain and grief she has had by losing both her parents at such a young age has been very rough on her. She has never let this get in the way when everyone else including me has needed her full devoted attention.

 

At the same time she lost her mother and had to be the sole provider for the kids and I she put herself through college to become a Medical Assistant.

 

I had a career as a flooring installer, where I was quite able to support us all, but now that my MS. Has progressed I am not able to do anything but just watch this all happen and wonder why me?

 

I am not the type of person to need help, but now, I find myself at the point where I must ask any willing and compassionate person to help us out. So I ask you to consider helping out in any way possible.

 

I am even stuck typing this on an old gateway computer running windows 98!

 

Thank you for reading this.

 

Also, after typing this, Joshua’s only best friend, his television died.

PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS AS A FRAUDULENT MESSAGE, AS WE ARE ONLY A YOUNG FAMILY WHO IS TRULY IN NEED. YOU CAN CHECK US OUT IF NEED BE.
