It's been a while since I have visited here.  The site has changed a lot and its hard finding out how to view the most recently posted comments.  But as soon as I figure it out I will try to provide some answers.

My newest blog is called The Unclaimed Money Blog with information about what the government calls "Unclaimed" Money

If you think that there are no grant programs out there for individuals then you are sadly mistaken.  I have found grant programs for the individual for some time now.  It does involve some work though.  You have to do your research well and weed through a lot of information. 

You can see some examples of some of the individual people that have received grants - especially to start their own businesses by going to my Grant Basics 101 page at:

Don't let anyone tell you that there are no grant programs out there for the individual!

Doctors and other medical professionals (including nurses and dentists) can now apply for grant incentives if they agree to practice in New Orleans to help deal with the medical needs of the people there.  Not only is this good news for medical professionals but it is also good news to the people who are still trying to stay in New Orleans but are having a hard time getting medical care because of their inability to pay and long waiting lists.  You can read more about this program by going to my Grants Blog.

Many times I have suggested that people start a blog so that they could start earning money using Google's Adsense program.  That is where you put ads on your site and you get paid when visitors to your site click on the ads.  Just in case you're wondering about how much money some people are making using Adsense just click this link:

There are also organizations out there that provide emergency financial aid for things such as a high car repair bill, car note/payment and helping those that are disabled.  For example one woman was able to get badly needed dental work that cost $700 which was paid for by the organization.

Many people are unaware of their  Rehabilitation services in their own home town. The ones that do know about it think it’s only for helping handicapped citizens. Wrong. They are in a position to help with free surgery, dental work and much, much more.

If you are employed, but a health problem may prevent you from continuing to work, your local  center can help. Especially convenient for those who need a major operation, but have no insurance,  This center will pay for the doctors’ visits, medication, actual surgery, recuperative equipment and physical therapy, as well as major dental work, too.

Had dental problems for years? Discolored, broken or missing teeth keeping you from a promotion you deserve? Are your dental problems causing you pain? Speak to someone at your local center. They’ll help you find a dentist in your area that can fix your dental problems and get you back to work in no time.

The goal is to help those with handicaps find and keep work. Even if your handicap is temporary, such as a bum hip, they’ll help you get fixed up and back to work. They also offer vocational counseling, job matching, custom training, assistive technology and independent living help. You must be able to prove that you cannot afford the surgery yourself, and that your income is too low to pay for the treatments.

You don’t have to already be unemployed to receive assistance like surgery or dental work. You just need to have been told by a doctor that you require the particular surgery or dental work. Although they cannot just fill and cap teeth for individuals who need this type of work, they can help you get major dental work done if it is preventing you from going to work because of pain. They can also assist you with dental work if it’s keeping you from being able to work in a field in which you’re qualified, but overlooked, because of your dental appearance

There is so much mis-information about grants!  Yes there are grants out there BUT there is no one place that you can apply for them.  Each organization whether it be the government, foundations or even big businesses and corporations each have their own individual criteria as far as to what you will need to apply.  Some financial funding programs start their application process with a simple letter of intent and yet others require specialized and quite a bit of information in order for your application to be considered.  The rest of the programs fall somewhere in-between.  There have been grant programs where farmers (or even those that weren't farmers but had the ability to) have received monthly checks to grow weed!  In another case a man got so much grant money that he gave some of it back!  He said it was too much.  In another country a witch got a grant (yes, a Witch!) to start her own business selling potions and other related services!  So yes there are grants out there!

I'm a single mother who is low income and mentally ill, but I want to make my son's life better and my life more quality through my passion for writing. I have one novel finished and I am already discussing self-publishing with a service called Author House. I need to move about so that is why I posted for help getting a notebook computer. Other ventures I need help with are getting my novel published (need about 4,000 for that alone), and money for marketing. I have more than one project in the works right now and can use all the help I can get!

This is the gist of the sitch:

My mother had to leave her apt in South Orange, NJ back in 2000 or so, because her building was going entirely co-op and she couldn't afford to buy the dang thing. So, since my great aunt was getting on in years, she moved in with her at her senior complex to look out for her, and has been there ever since.

Earlier this year. my great aunt passed away at 92. You would think that since the building management, in a similar aituation, let the person  who moved in with their relative take over the lease, that they'd do the same for my mother, yes?

No.

It turns out that they are pressuring her to move immediately, even though there was someone on the staff there (they kept changing staff all the time) who was trying to work with her and give her some more time and options. Somehow I get the feeling that in the instances of pushing for my mother to, at the very least, stay in the building, she wasn't helping much there at all. My mother says that she was trying to get them to put her name on the lease for years, but that the management at the time was incompetent (I won't say what she really said, LOL). Apparently he was, cuz he's not there anymore.

Now this building is run by public housing, and my mother has been on the Newark Housing Authority list for years. She is disabled and can't work, and only has limited income. She as been to the city government, legal aid-- you name it, she's prolly been there. She doesn't seem to be making any headway. I'm worried she'll really have no place to go soon.

From what I understand, what they are trying to do is get her into another senior building quicker, since she is pretty far up on the waiting list, and in light of the circumstances. But it doesn't look good... and she could be out as soon as next week (jerks). Someone was just up there giving her shite the other day about when was she going to move, claiming it was because the bigwigs are putting pressure on them, and they didn't even have the brass to come up themselves-- they sent the security guard from the front desk.Unbelievable.

So we all have been praying and hoping here, and we feel so helpless. I just wanted to ask for your prayers and or advice if you have any. It would be greatly appreciated.

Thanx in advance.... Yuri

I am looking for individual grants for women who are continuing their education after taking an extended break. I am having difficulty meeting out of pocket need for school even though my household income makes me ineligible for federal aid

I am a 100% disabled veteran looking/seeking grant funds to assist in my attendance of vocational school and to help replace my vehicle.

Two easy ways to do this:

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.
