I am a single mom with 3 beautiful children living in San Diego and struggling. I am looking for a loan that I can pay back in monthly payments. The amount I need is $1500-this is for our housing and we are already behind and have been paying as much as I can.  The background on how this situation arose is that supoosedly I took a better paying position in the housing industry, 100% comission, I was promised at least what I was making previously + bonus and the infamous draw in case you have a tight month.  The dangling carrot will never intice me again. I have learned my lesson. They have since put me back on a very small base salary which will help, + an override and NO draw, the no draw is the best thing that could ever happen. I was on commission for over a year, and on a draw, but not really free to sale because I was processing and had to be in the office instead of out getting deals..and in this market it is tough.So my income was the draw and that means money owed back when commissions come in.  I was in a catch 22. Getting a better job in the industry is really, really hard.I have been just hoping for the right change and bringing back the base and changing my title was it.

I believe God uses me to bless people with new homes, and I see the miracles over and over again that help people that would have no chance of a loan, get one and then here I am and I cannot pay my own rent off of the salary I make. I work very hard and long days and give my best evryday even though it is rocky financially in my life...I think about the families and how they need to get into their new home.

I see the light at the end...we have 2 more rough months and then we should even out.  There are many other things along the way and the years have been trying. The kids handle things well and they see how hard I work...and that I do my best and many a night we have played board games and just hung out.  My kids do know the value of family and they know they cannot have everything in the world and not to be selfish to others or jealous of others, Our family struggles in many ways- but faith and love are always abundant. I  have been on my own for 7 years, tears, cheers and a lot of praying has gotten me through,  God does the driving now...that is for sure. If anyone  can assist and wait for repayment on a scheduled date every month through bill pay or money order that would be a blessing.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story :) Bless you. - Lisa

I really hate asking for help. But I do need help. i got sick with pneumonia and was in the hospital for a month and on oxygen for a month. I lost my job and now im barely getting back on my feet. My electricity and gas are off due to only being able to apply a lil bit at a time to my bills. Now i got a job again but im barely catching up. Its hard being a single mom with two kids and trying to catch up on everything and for xmas. My car has been breaking down almost every couple of weeks and I am walking to work still trying to get over the breathing problems i had with this. I don't k now where else to turn. I got dropped out of my college classes because i couldn't go due to this reason. so i am trying to get back on feet so i could finish.

I am a loving mother of four boys.  I have always taught my children to give at Christmas.  We have always donated toys and picked a child's name from the tree at our local store to buy a gift for.  This year I find myself in need.   My husband is disabled after breaking his neck in 1996.    I am a hard working Mom who delivers pizzas on the side to try and make ends meet.    We bought our home after my husband's injury, so we own it outright.  We have no mortgage.    I have gotten behind on my property taxes from 2005 and 2006 and just recieved a letter about my home being listed for Sheriff's Sale in three weeks. I spend all day yesterday, on Thanksgiving, praying that I would find an answer.    I have little family and my kids really only have me and their Father to depend on.     That puts so much pressure on me.   I have never felt such fear and anxiety in my life.   I just want to raise my children up in our humble, modest....albeit messy..home.   I have not even thought about Christmas as it is too much to contemplate.       I watch people like Tom and Katie marry in such lavish style and I wonder why the world is so unbalanced.    I do not want extravagences like that...I just want to keep my kids safe.    Please offer any words, advice or help you can.  Thank you for listening...

Know i am raising 3 more kids a 8yrs,6yrs, and 3yrs old kids. I need to find the funds to try to fix my house and add a room to it. Its only a 2 bedroom house it is too small for all of us. I was hoping to try to get a government loan to help me so if anyone nows what website will help me i would really like your help.

Well I'll get straight to it. I'm a father of 5 (15yr old/12yr old/ 7yr old triplets) all from my first marriage. The two oldest ( my boys ) live with me. My Triplet girls live with their mother. I have moved the boys to an awsome school. But the city in which we live in was right at what I could afford. But now I have lost almost all my work. I'm a car electronics installer ( ie.. remote starts/alarms/keyless entry/audio/video/fix power windows and locks). I have done lots of different work over the years and have been one of the top or the top at my field. But I'm just at a lose right now. My utility's are about to be shut off, My rent is past due for April. I just don't know where to turn. I still pay child support for my kids even though the two boys live with me. I have not had the funds to get the custody signed over even though my ex is willing to sign them over. At which time then I could get some kind of assistance. but right now since they appear to still be under her custody. I can't receive anything  to where the boys will figure in. I have never been one to ask for help. I'm always the one to give everything I have to help others. But as it stands now I have no choice. This is not for me I could live on the streets doing whatever it takes to survive ,  I'm  just not willing to let my sons go through that. I've been through Hell and back with many different things in my life and very little scares me. But the prospect of my kids suffering freightens the hell out of me. To top off everything else my fiance' called me today to tell me she took a test and it came back positive. So now it looks like I have new one on the way. Before you get the wrong Idea , yes we use protection as with everythings else nothing is flawless. I'm 35 yrs old. I have tried to do nothing but right by my kids. To have them look at me and offer to sell their belongings to help to pay the bills just kills me. I'm not asking someone to take care of us. Just really need a hand up right now not a hand out. Thank you in advance( if for nothing else then for taking the time to read this).
