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!

    In desperate need of help! For the past two years I have been having problems out of my now 14yr old son.  My older son was shot five times because, my 14yr old had a charlie horse and kicked dirt on a young man's pants while they were at a park. Since then he has been acting out. I have have went above and beyond trying to get help and conseling for him. He was on the honor role and started receiving failing grades because he refused to gto school. I have went as far as filing an ungovernable petition to have him court ordered to go to school, stay from certain places and so-called friends. As a mother of four young men I try to be firm, but fair. My requirements of my children are simple, go to school, keep your room clean, don't use drugs and Be a Something and Somebody instead of a Nothing and Nobody! On March 04, 2008 my 14 year old son was home after refusing to go to school. I then questioned him about being home once again. He then started yelling at me, saying that "he hate me", and telling me that "he will Knock me out"! I  threw a paint brush at him and  he balled up his fist and said that, "he will knock me out".After being threatned by my on child I called 911 and  I waited on the police.Once the police arrived one of the officers said that , "as a mother you have every right to discipline your children especially if they are rude and disrespectful". The officers then left and a female officer returned to tell me that she was training the other officer and he was wrong and that "I did not have a right to discipline". I was on the phone with my mother and I was telling her what the officer said. I explained to her that I work everyday and that My Children Must Abide By The Rules. She then told me to hang up the phone, but she never read me my rights or told me that she was placing me under arrest. I told her that "I did not do anything wrong". She then grabbed my arm and yelled for another officer, he came in and stomped on my foot and slapped me on my neck pulling me down the stairs. After falling down the stairs I was told if I did not put my hands behind my back they was going to taser me. They took me to the police station, although they never read me my rights. I told them that I needed medical care because I had no feeling in my toes and they were bleeding. I was taken to the hospital, once examined I had to get stitches in one of my toes and the other one was broken. I was then taken to PBSO Jail and booked on domestic battery on my son who was very disrespectful to me. Now I am on a leave from my job, because once release I was seen by two other doctors who refused to let me work due to foot, shoulder and lower back injuries I sustained from the Officers using excessive force.  All I want to do is be the best mother to my children. It's so much crime and gang activity where we live and I don't  want my kids to become apart of that. I am in need of some financial help or resources. If you can Help me please send the prayers,financial assistance or resource information to  Juanetta Lewis 182 East 28th Street Riviera Beach, Florida 33404 or email me at Lewis2davis@aol.com .Thank you in advance, pray for me and God Bless You!

Hello and thank-you so much for me to have the oppertunity to join and meet people all over the world that is in need of a listening ear, some advice or finatual help. I did not know this ste exists until I started searching for a personal grant. I found this link from grantgate.com. I would like to first say that I am here yes (humbly) to ask for help. I prayed to God today to please provide a mircle more importantly, I promise not to be selfish and reach out to the other members as I feel that this web site is a blessing to all who join. I know my problem may sound selfish as there is people who have things much tougher than me but this problem that I have has caused me so much turmoil. You see approx. 5 years ago. I worked at a gas station and I was robbed at gun point. I was alone and he held his gun to me demanded the money and told me to lay down on the floor. This moment to me lasted forever. This was 20 minutes before my shift ended in the evening. Any-way, My relief cashier came in (right on time as usual) God I kept praying. Will this guy ever come to work just 5 minutes early! Well, he came in and the robber left with the money. Less than 100 dollars. The man was senticed to jail. My job gave me a 2 week unpaid leave, lied to unemployment which denied me any help. I never recieved counceling. I lost and donated all of my belongings that I had in a public storage as I was temp. living with my mom so that after 3 months my car would be payed off and I could get my own apartment again without car payments. This tradgity caused me so much fear, depression. I feared everyone. I still do. I just had my credit repaired and was offered a 3,000.00 dollar credit card. I maxed that card out on daily living and boy did it go fast. I regret that this card is my (only) debt but because I could not work do to trauma They have a 3,000.00 interest. It is now  6 thousand. I would like to have 3,000.00 because I know I could settle. I have been all through the debt counselling and quite frankly even this company told me that mastercard would not except them. I have tried but the creditors are ruthless. This caused my credit to go bad. I cannot get a home loan or any loan for that matter for emergencies. I not only was robbed that night but it robbed my future. I pray that an angel out there and someone who could help me. I will try to put my donation button here. I just wanted to ad that growing up I supported my mom who is disabled. I have had a hard life and live on minimum wage. I do have my own apartment very small studio apartment filtered with crime and vandelizem. My car gets my tires slashed and key'd very often. I am wanting desperately to move but have no money saved as I keep paying to fix my car. The land lord never fixes anything. No working light or vents.  I am so sorry if I seem to be greedy but this has been a very hard long road and I truely wish everyone that there personal situations will get better and I cannot wait to meet new friends. Sincerely, Barbara  

Dear Friends. I am sorry I am new to this site and trying to ad my pay pal button. Please forgive me if my post shows up more than once. It looks like I can only put a link. Also If someone would rather pay the credit card collector directly instead of to me I am sure that can be arranged. Also even though I do work a full time time job I would be more than happy to donate my time on weekend days to a local charity in return of your kind donation and would be happy to provide you verification. The charity would have to be in Seattle close to dwelling.

My Dream:

#1  To give my mom the life she deserves, no stress, a home to call her own out of the (rule)) of corupt government houseing!!!!! Yes I said corrupt!!!!!!

#2 I am so sick and tired of watching these poor African people starve with no food! They are dying a slow and tormented death. We have enough food and land for all of us to live the way (God intended) It is our powerful Governments that control such sadness! There is NO excuse for these poor people to live this way! 

There IS CURES FOR CANCER AND DISEASE!!!

THE NATURAL WAY WITHOUT DRUGS!

STOP THE PROFITS OF THE DRUG CARTEL

AND NEWS MEDIA WHICH THEY OWN.

STOP THE MASS FOOD PRODUCTION

 GIVEN TO ALL OF US

THAT IS FILLED WITH DRUGS

 HORMONES AND DISEASE,

 TO KEEP US ADDICTED, FAT AND SICK!

 Image, just one bill from a presidents stay at a grand hotel...or fund raiser....would feed these families....Why are you polititions ( so greedy) Why do use these poor people and us Americans as your ( medical experiments) for your gain? How do you sleep at night? My friends below I wrote a poem. In the Bible it sais; (((( A kingdom devided against it's self cannot stand).  The world, the powerful leaders are so  intrenched with making the almighty dollar  that soon the people will be throwing there money into the streets because it has no value....this to, is a bible promise and is happing but can you see  how (((fast))) it is happening.....If there was one gift one hope that I could give to anyone who reads this site..((My message))).  Look and behold, the bible sais that we are going to see all of these things...earth quakes in one place after another, food shortages, fasle profits (corrupt  religion) sheep in wolves clothing.....Jesus said to pay attention to the bird's in the field. Look ,God provides them  food and shelter, and us humans that were made in God 's image....He too... how much more will he... take care of us? After all,  we were made in God's likeness, his image... My belief is this. Jesus was (((no part of this world))) this world as we know it is evil and corrupt....but Gods origianl purpose for mankind will happen (in his time) for us to live forever here on earth the way he intended. For us to cultivate, to build. God s(sovernity is the issue))) God's point is this... Man cannot rule man without his intervention))) As Jesus said: Man  cannot rule man succesfully with out God. A kingdome devided against itself cannot stand....Do you see all of these powerful governments (kingdoms) devided)????? We may all have different faiths but we share one common goal...peace and unity, no sickness and death which our governments has failed....In a world full of different faiths.....I hold fast to these words......we can make a diffence in future if we understand the lessons of the past........we must hold on to our tiny bit of faith and believe me it is hard.... I am so mad at God.....but for now.....we must be modest........be modest in all things.........try to forgive and do our best to instill true Christian qualities....let our governments fail but together we will get the real GRANT..........OF EVER LASTING LIFE............

#3  To have my own Foundation to help the working calss/poor. My dream is to be able to offer the immediate assistance! Housing/Food/ect. I do not want to follow in the footsteps of our government who is (paper petal pusher's) that turn people away after thay have waited hours for help....My dream is to provide immidiate help. If that involves turning down others for a short period of time. It must be done. One family at a time (with results) notice the word results!!!!!!!!!!!!

#4 Stop animal torture/cruelty in forien lands~~~

#5 To be a writer: I love to wite poems, fiction and non fiction, Mystery, children's book's, reviews, oppinions especially oppinions with consumer welfare........and consumer fraud......to expose all fraud claiming (work at home supplies upon payment) and the consumer gets robbed....

#5 Dare I say a beautiful man (husband) to share a true christian faith with to share common goals?  Warning , this angel can be a devil~~~  :o)

(((WOW!))) i ALMOST COUNTED THEM ON ONE HAND! :O)

LASTLY AND SELFISHLY~~~I would also love to travel a bit and write reviews on bed and breakfast. I know that my dreams are far fetched and I do not think even (wonder woman) could do all of these)))...

Fundraising/charities.....To many to list really....

~~~~~~~~~My Poem~~~~~~~~

A Kingdom Divided

i am really i need of some financial assistance. i recently became unemployed. i am in the process of looking for a job now but, i have a eight month old son to take care of and my husband doea not make enough money to cover the bills.  the total cost of our monthly bills are twicw his monthly income.  please if there is any assistance that you can give me at this time will be a big help. 

How are you! I didn't know where else to turn so I started a search online for help in helping me catch up on my rent, turn my pg&e back on and pay some important bills. I have until the last day of June to pay or leave my home and I don't know what to do!  I know that there are so many people out there who need more help then me and if I could help them I would do that in a heart beat but I can't seem to make it!  I'm a single father of 2 who recently got divorced and life just took a turn for the worst after that.  I left with absolutely nothing and have been trying so hard to get back on my feet.  I recently received my A.A. and will now try and go out and put my degree into affect but I just need a little help to get me going.  My rent is now 2 months overdue and thats honestly because of a room-mate who I've tried to help for so long who recently took off on me and left me with the bill.  My PG&E has been shut off and my bills are just getting bigger.  I don't get paid very much at all where I'm working but I'm honestly trying to find a job where I can support my children and also be stable. I'm not sure if anyone will really care to help but if you do, God Bless you!

Thank you

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.

I am currently attending an online school for psychiatry and my 11 year old child is a high honor roll student.  I am trying to start up my own greeting card business as well but this financial trouble is not making it easy for me.  I have been working as a nursing assistant for almost 8 years now and all of my patients love me because of my ability to make them smile no matter how much pain their in.  I enjoy my work and helping others.  No matter what I am going through they always see a smile on face.  I am hoping to come up out of this financial burden because I can't even afford school clothes for my child.

Thank you

    Hi, I am a christian mother of 4 and my husband has been the main finacial income since I sustained injuries from a drunk driver in 95.  I work at home on the computer.  My husband has several disabilities that do not qualify for Social Security.  He had lost his job in Feb 2007, He got another job that paid less in March.  He was doing good and we were getting caught back up on bills.  We have lost our house to a preditory lender and have a old farm house that we got on a land contract so we could afford it.  On May 5 my husband started having chest pains and on May 10 he was admited to the hospital with a possible heart attack.  The doctors said he didn't have a heart attack instead though they found a mass on his brain.  His employer fired him.  We have stayed in our forclosed house because our farm house doesn't have any electric.  We were in the ending of repairing it when everything went south.  I am in need of alot.  Our Water will be shut off on May 30, we owe $376.89 on it and our electric was due off on the 29th for the amount of 683.00, I sent them a voucher for $199, I am not sure if that will delay it or not.  The gas is due off on the 30th also, it is in the amount of $68(?).  I have applied for county assistance and it is pending.  I am praying that they will back date it to cover the 13,950 hospital bill.  I have asked God to send me an angel.   I will pray that my angel reads this and is led to help us in anyway.  thanks for reading this.

Hello  I am a single mother of 4 the oldes is 5 and the youngest is 5 months. My husband and I just seperated almost a year ago and he is not helping me financally.

Please i just need a loan of about 2,000$. I could pay it back a little every other week. If any one can help me or direct me to some one who can please let me know.   Thankyou

 Hi my name is gerrad 21 and i work at one of americas largest waterparks in wisconsin. Ive just got a job opertunity to move to west vergina and run maintenance there but im $17,000 in debt and cant to aford to go to school so any help would be nice.

PLEASE SOMEONE HELP US OUT!!! I'M ABSOLUTELY DESPERATE!!! I'm a single mother of a 2.5 year old toddler and we are about to get evicted from an apartment we live in on June 28th, 2007 unless I'm able to pay my rent. I was a successful IT professional for over 11 years, but have lost my job at the end of March 2007 and have not been able to replace my income since. If I get evicted, I am at a big risk of also losing my son, as my ability to maintain a residence is one of the conditions for my custody court order with the other parent. In addition to that, I'm not able to pay for my son's daycare and several of my creditors have currently filed for collections and all that is greatly impacting my credit and my ability to rent anywhere. My current monthly rent is $1725 and I owe for 2 months. My bills currently run about another $1500 (daycare alone is over $300/week) but ANYTHING YOU CAN DONATE IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!!! Please help us and thank you in advance. ~ Maria

Well to start I have a 21 mo old daughter and one on the way. I was very recently in a car accident where a man ran a red light and totaled my only vehicle. His insurance company totaled it out at less than I owe on it so I now owe money on a vehicle that no one will even drive again. I wont lie, I have a good job with good bennifits but every bit of money i make goes right to bills and feeding my family. I have no extra money or support from family to get a new vehicle. I'm having a horrible time getting to work and getting my daughter to her baby sitters without having transportation. The sitter is 45 mins from my apartment and then my work is 30 mins from the sitters. Taking the bus with an infant really isn't an option for me especially in the area I live in. Any help or advice would greatly be appretiated. I'm not sure if this quallifies as hitting rock bottom but it sure feels that way to me.

Hi,

I am a single grandmother raising three children, in need of help for Christmas.  In January  I was a victim of DOWNSIZING.  I worked with this company for 18 years.  It has been hard to provide for my grandchildren, ages 10, 8, 6.  I have worked hard all my life and to result to State aid is humiliating.  I had to do it.  I would like for them to have a Christmas they will remember.   We do not have any extra money to get Christmas decorations, gifts, clothing, etc.  They asked me daily........when are we going to put up Christmas decorations?  I feel so bad.  Just last week.....November 17th was Justin and Brittany's Birthday.   I could only afford a $3.00 & $5.00 gift.   Don't get me wrong, they appreciated it.   They would have felt the same, whether it was $300 & $500.  They have been through so much and such beautiful kids.

It's been rough raising my grandchildren and I just once want them to have a WONDERFUL Christmas.
