I am a single dad raising my 14 year old daughter.  I am working only part-time because the company I worked for for the last 10 years downsized and left me unemployed.  In addition, I am a full-time student majoring in Computer Science, Information Technology and Web Development.  I am asking if someone could help me with my school funds so I can continue my education and raise my child in a good school.

It is very hard and I am doing my best that I can possibly do.  However, my daughter goes to private school because I don't like the way the educational system is in Philadelphia.  I am trying to raise money for my next year, so that I can receive my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science.  Currently, I have maintained a 3.7 gpa and have made Dean's List 4 semesters straight.  I will pay back the money with interest after graduation. 

I am being very honest and wish everyone the best in their future endeavors and for helping me out with anything they can donate to my cause.

Thank you just for reading my story.

hello. i am an audio engineer in austin tx. my family was in new orleans when katrina hit and we lost everything. we are still trying to recover. now we are thinking about starting a business in austin and could use any help that is out there. thank you. god bless.

I am a single mother of a special needs teenage. I had breast cancer  3 yrs ago and a heart attack on Feb 29, 2008. I've been on my job for 3 yrs and I love it. I just don't make enough money to pay rent and utilites. My medical bills are so high that I am going to file bankrupts, but this still will not help with the regular bills. My rent is 2 months behind. I can't get any assistance because I have a job. Maybe when I homeless the I will be able to get help. All I am asking for is for people to pray for me. I need it bad.  

songwriter/lyricist, travels alot

This post is to help my family. My daughter was in a serious car accident in 06/2006 in which she sustained a severe brain injury and multipule broken bones and lacerations. The doctors told us there was no hope.Despite all odds she is home with now and doing quite well, however........

To make a long story short, our woes are; Her insurance has ran out and she needs ongoing thearpy to continue on her long road to recovery (she can possibly be walking with in a year)!

Also, she needs 24/7 care and her son 5 yr old needs quite alot of attention too! Because we have been down to one income for the last year and a half our funds are running out. We are behind in our Mortgage, and I can't seem to find the resources to gather the funds to keep us from loosing our home. Since I first wrote this I have been able to modify our mortgage, however it will mean paying more on our payments for the next 6 months.

I am here because I am a young, smart, dedicated mother of 2 very smart loving kids. I have come to a point in my life where the man that I trusted with our lives just decided to leave us with nothing. It is sad because he controlled everything and could care less about me and our kids well being. I have been a stay at home mother and I do not have any unnecessary bills. All I have is rent, utilities, food, car insurance and very little money for anything else. I want to go back to school to make something of myself but there are other things that stand in my way. I need a job but no one here will take a chance on me because I havent worked and I have no experience. I need money for everyday living and it makes it harder when I want to work and go to school and then I need money for a babysitter that I can trust with my kids. I am just so stressed that I cannot provide the things that I need for my kids. I here all the time about people going into debt and well I dont want to do that to myself or my kids. I want to have some stability for themand myself but it seems like I am getting nowhere and well the money that I still have will not last long. I am not sure what I am asking for I just know that I need help. I want to find a job at home but I cant invest the little money that I have. I have sold alot of my things to make more money and well that in itself makes me sad. I just really need something to help me get by. I would really love it if this site is real and well I am not afraid to talk to someone that is real and not looking to add to the stresses that I have. I am just so afraid that my kids will have to see the harsh realities of. I want to give them a roof over there head but I can only afford a few more months and I really dont know what to do. I just dont want them to feel in secure. I want the simple things in life but no one is willing to give me a chance to prove myself to them. Life is hard but it seems to want to keep me down rather than letting me and my family prosper.

 I have a list of things that I "WISH" I could have but then again I am not to lazy to make my wishes come true. I just need some help to be stabel enough to give my kids a home.I live in a small apartment and well to better understand my situation I am pretty much living off of 1500 a month and my rent is more than half that amount. I cant get a deposit for another place and well where I live it is a really reasonable price. My landlord is really nice and understanding but he is also struggling and well with 2 kids and we dont go shopping alot. Me and my kids have all second hand things, we eat canned goods most of the time, and we just spend time together so the good thing is that my kids dont need the fancy things to make them happy. They do want the new things but they know that I cant give it to them because I dont have the money. I would love to give them the nicer things for their birthdays and holidays but I cant sacrifice the money in that way. I am just feel so inadequate at times. I want to give them extra things because they are smart and deserve them but everything is so pricey. We rarely go to mcdonalds and when we go we only get the dollar menu thing and we go where we can get free refills. I mean that is a good thing but to have to explain to my little ones that I cant do more because mommy dont have the resources really makes me depressed. They dont know the things that I have to struggle with and I hope they never know but they see it and ask questions and I have to try and tell them something else that is positive. It becomes torture at times when they see the things that others recieve and how others indulge in the luxuries of life.

I am really looking forward to making a life with my kids but now I am trying to find some grants that I can apply for so that I can go back to school. I am having a hard time getting a job and finding needed help. I would really love it if people could help me financially but that is a dream in it self. I understand that people dont know if I am real or not but all I can say is that I am and if someone is generous enough to help me out they would be doing a great thing. I would be happy with 5 dollars I mean every little bit helps. I have really changed so much in my life to make a honest life with my kids and it hurts me that I cant give them the things that once had. They understand the situation a little but it still sucks for them because they are so young. I want to give them some security but here in hawaii it is quite difficult. I dont know what can help me but I just really dont want to go in to debt so that is why I am asking for help before we have to suffer more with those things. I am a open person and real as can be. I am not lying and well I hope that a decent person is willing to get to know me and my family enough to see that I am not scamming anyone. I really want grants for schools and I just dont know which ones are legit. But if anyone just wants to help me in monetary things that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for reading this and I hope that there are generous people out there that would like to help me and my kids in our time of need. I know there are alot out there and i probaly dont have a really hard story but I just dont want my kids to have to suffer a moment of hardships. Please feel free to respond. Thank you again

My name is Philip Wright. I am a general Contractor for 28 + years. I have 3 grown children and 3 grandchildren ( and I love them all ).

I have worked a little to hard all of my life and my body and mind are paying for it now. So I thought it would be a good idea to try my luck at this computer stuff. Like web sites etc. But not knowing what I was doing, I was took by several scam artists. I have lost about $10,000.00 on web sites alone. I recieved appr. $750,000.00 in frauded checks from canadian scammers, (Trying to get me put in jail I guess). So needless to say I have just about lost all hope and most of what I had. If it wasn't for the most beautifull lady in the world sticking it out with me. I would of surely gave up by now. I am not stateing that I am living in a cardboard box. Because I have been there before. And there has been times when I have not had no food. There has been a time in my life when I and my brothers have eaten out of the land fill and dumpsters, so I know it could be worse than it is, But I just do not want to go there again. And exspecialy not my lovely lady. That is the reason why I am asking for help. And then and still even now I will and do help other people with there needs.So if there is any one out there that made lots of money on the web, or has more than they may need. And could spare some I would appriciate it. Thanks and God Bless. And of course all donations are tax deductable and will be claimed as income. I have posted two of the new web sites I have finaly made after 1 and 1/2 years of trying, and of course I have not made any money on them yet. But if I do I will remove the request for help. Thank you.

Also please excuse my spelling.

I am a 24 year old female with a graduate degree in Social Work. I have two jobs working in child welfare and mental health to get by on the basic needs of life. I have always been a hard worker and a good citizen including working 3 jobs to get through college. I am always helping others and trying to improve the child welfare system as well as trying to figure out who I am and what I want in life. I am now discovering who I am as a person and learning to love myself. I want to know who I am before I chose to get married and have children. I want to help improve my community and am always on the go trying to find "the answer" to making our world a better place. I love life and feel lucky to be alive and healthy! I am trying to buy a home and am having little luck b/c I work for a low salary and do not have enough money for a down payment. If I recieve help with a down payment I will pay it forward when I am older to help someone like me- someone who has always done the right thing and worked as hard as possible but doesn't make enough to own a home!

Hello,

Well, i am a single mother of three beautifull children ages 2, 6, and 7. I am not working right now due to my lack of experience and flexable schedual. But I am trying to work that out. I often find me self struggling with food and gas. which I think is normal with alot of people these days. My main problem right now is i want to move but i dont have the swecurity deposit.i will have to write more later....................

after reading other peoples post i really dont feel i should be asking any one for help. i have alot more than most and consider my self very lucky. one should not ask for more than they know they need.

Loving father and husband.

So I get on this site thinking hey just maybe there is nice people out there and maybe there is but not for me I was supposed to be leaving tomorrow to go see the daughter that i had almost ten years ago and havent seen since she was 9 mos old she called me begging to be a room mom for her valentine show and since neither i nor my fiancee are able to work right now I really didnt have the money to go and I found this page well I was contacted by someone calling themselves pastor paddy and  HE SENT ME A CHECK ALRIGHT BUT IT WAS A STOLEN CHECK FROM THE RENE MOAWAD FOUNDATION NOW HES HARRASING ME AND THREATNING ME AND NOBODY ELSE WILL TURN HIM IN SO THE MORAL OF THE STORY IS I DONT GET TO SEE MY DAUGHTER WICH BY THE WAY SHE HATES ME NOW AND I HAVE SOME IDIOT THREATNING MY LIFE SO THIS IS A LESSON HOPEFULLY SOMEONE ELSE WONT HAVE TO GO THROUGH WHAT I DID

 Well I can't really say much about me worth any thing considering , I was a active alcoholic most of my life and I finally went to prison for 17 month's , I took my GED while I was there and passed everything but the essay, of course , so now I will try to improve in that area and just maybe I will accomplish that before to long. I'm just trying every day to be a better person , mom ,daughter , friend , maybe one day wife.

Addicted to Love

*(with someone who is emotionally abusive at times)  * (has a tendency not to be faithful) *  (the list goes on)

BUT...

Even with all of those overwhelming factors, I am in love with this man, my best friend, and I would be absolutely lost without him. I know this relationship is not healthy and has the potential to go to hell in a hand basket quicker than I can say his name, my problem is I have no interest with being with anyone else, I have tried all of the things they tell you to do during a break up, I've tried and failed miserably. I feel deep down that this is who I am supposed to be with for the duration. Can anyone help me to help him? Your input is greatly appreciated.

Hello everyone, whomever you may be.  My name is Cole.  In most respects I'm your average 22 year old American guy, and in a lot of respects I guess that I'm not.  I'd say that the part here writing this is the part that isn't so typical; after all how many like me pass through?

One of the things that makes me different is this:  I am engaged to a beutiful girl that I love very much who also happens to spend much of her time on approximately the other side of the planet from me.  Not easy, to be sure, but certainly not tragic (outside of the possibility of some play or novella).  One of our few wishes is to be able to be together for this Christmas, but things are not shaping out to not be that likely.  A struggleing pre-med student from the lower end of the economic spectrum does not exactly have the money for a $2000 airtrip very often.  Neither does a young foriegn nursing student, while I'm at it.

If there was someone I could ask to help with this, I would.  More specifically: if there was some specific individual I had to ask I would do so.  I don't have this ability, however, so my mind soon rambled on to a new idea:  "Here For the Holidays".

Life and the art that imitates life is full of stories where loved ones are forced seperate at times that they should most be together.  And since I as of yet don't see anyone out there helping with this, I'm going to start.  "Here For the Holidays" is still in it's infancy, but my general idea is to collect donations and sift through requests and get the people that deserve to be together just like that; together.

Above is the link to the in-progress site.  There's not much there yet, but there will be.  And you'll all be hearing more from me later. ;)

hi my name is Francesca Johnson and i just got my 1st apartment. i am a single partent with 2 kids and 1 on the way. i got laid off my job that i had for 8 months. nobody wants to higher me because i am pregnant. i have no money to pay my bills and i just moved in my new place 2 months ago. please help me.

I found this really neat website where you can help many wonderful causes with the click of a mouse. I am sort of new to this web thing so you may already be aware of it but thought I'd add it anyway. I have a little girl with Cerebral Palsey which makes it difficult for me to do as much hands on volunteering as I would like. We visit the nursing homes, send cards and make little gifts for others, but as far as volunteering onsite, I have found it hard in my situation. This is a great way to do something special and not even hae to leave your home.

It's called care2connect and it has petitions for an array of causes. Pick one, pick a few or make a day of it. Either way, your helping. It's also something great to do with your chidren. A wondefu way to spend time with them and teach them compassion, caring and kindness. My daughter and I are going to spend some time this evening working on some. It is the holiday season and we all can make a difference with the simple act of kindness, no matter how small and it is something we can all do. Thank U

Please, also see my homepage and see if you have any of the information I am searching for. I woud deeply appreciate it. God bless and happy holidays
