I am so behind on my bills and am broke. How can I find help for my kids for Christmas?

I need help with my bills, and fixing my home

I like to do volunteer work and help with children that lack basic needs.  I love children, but have none of my own.  I have helped out several single parent familes around the holidays for the past few years.  I've found that some families need ongoing help all year and not just at the holiday season.  I have been a public school employee for 22 years, and serve on a local church board.  I prefer to help someone directly without going through an organization.  I've done volunteer work before for organizations and was surprised at how much of the donated funding was spent on administrative expenses, and how little went to the recipients.   I really like the concept of Aidpage. 

Please e-mail me direct at..... Troublentaken@msn.com ... thank you!

I am an unemployed 26 year old mother of a 7 year old child. I would like to go back to school because now an associates degree is not enought to live off of in the state of NY. Unfortunately due to my previous employer the company downsized and I was laid off. since then I have tried to search for employment on my own but the cost became to expensive. Now I had to apply for welfare and the employment search assistance program allows me to sit from 9-5 with nothing to do. They will not allow me to go to school in the am hours becuase its unfair to them that they have to work and go to school. I would go to school at night but now my situation turns in to a babysitting issue. I also feel a single mother she be able to be there for her child in the pm hours to help her child better her self in school. Now I am left emptyless and no where to turn .. I have no family I was a orphan of the state sice the age 7 to the age 19. and then released because I was considered an adult and not a child. I am struggling to pay rent by staying with my abusive exboyfriend and living as a prisioner in my home. All I want is my life back. A chance to better my self and become self sufficient so that I will not be classified as another statistic

I am a college student at Dana College. I am studying social work. I don't see myself getting through this year if I don't have a place to live or gas to even get me to school everyday. I'm scared I'll have to live in my car.  I can't even afford the co-pay on my medications so I'm going without my blood pressure and heart medications.

I am a father of one four year old boy.  I only make about 20,000.00 a year working full time for Parisian.  This might sound like plenty, but after I pay utilities, car note, house note, daycare, gas, food, and whatever else I haven't mentioned.  I really don't even have enough cash to buy food or gas after daycare, utilities, car note, car insurance, house note and insurance.  PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT I CAN DO TO BETTER THIS SITUATION.

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!

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!

I have been graciously given the gifts of helps and compassion and enjoy nothing more in life than helping others.  I am currently trying to start my own nonprofit to help the poor and low income mothers.  I am not financially strong at this point, but believe in my calling to help others and God does give me connections to resources and the wisdom to discern what to do for situations.  I will help where I can.  Please feel free to contact me at thewellnessretreat@yahoo.com

I am also a holistic nutritional consultant and provide free advice and personalized plans on naturally overcoming and curing sickness and disease.  Feel free to contact me with your health problems as well!  Take care and God bless

BUYING A HOME

Hello:

          I am mentally disabled and unable to work or even go into public sometimes. I have recently lost my housing, because I could not go to work at my job. I AM HOMELESS......awaiting mental health housing through cascadia housing program, but the waiting list is long. I have income through SSD but it is fixed and only 579.00 a month. Can someone please help with a rental for no more than 200.00 a month in portland oregon?

I am a Real Estate agent and contractor, I am trying to buy properties, rehab them and then get low income or otherwise people who cannot get their own home in them,  I need help, does anyone know of hard money lenders or government money that could help me meet my goal?  I was down once and know how it feels not to be able to find a home so please any input at all would be great.  I have been doing this for years and I found the perfect property that would aid over thirty families. Please anyone who has any ideas I would welcome the information.

I am looking for aid for a single mother of six children.I am 34 years old.Working a part time job with fulltime hours.I don't make enough to support home and school as well.I am the first person in my family to go to college and I hate to miss out on anything.I am looking for aid for a low income woman with children.I make about 16,000 a year.

Hello. My name is Mandi. Like a lot of low income families in portland, I am a single mother to a beautiful boy named Chevy James or CJ. We are struggling now to make endsmeet. I need some help. Not a large some of money but something to help us get rent this month and a payment to the phone company so it doesnt get shut off. I made most of it up on my own for rent. I am in need desperately for 100.00 towards rent and 70.00 towards the phone bills. $ 170.00  Here is why: My apt complex's new owner is trying to get rid of all the older residents like myself especially since I am on unemployment and struggle to make rent on time for my son and I. I pay 525.00 for rent, my unemployment is 552.00 but that's hard to do when you have a little boy who eats more then foodcard gives anymore and also diapers and everyday expenses you encounter with a toddler. My apt is moldy since i moved in, i have been told of a new unit twice and they have been given away. I have one available next month so it is urgent that i make my rent this month, get into a healthy apt in the unit across from mine and my son will get better since getting pneumonia during this last month. It has held my work search up because he was sent to the ER two nights and then had problems with various antibiotics so its been hard to get arround to much of anything this month as far as work goes.  Please I urge you I dont need much and I will even settle for 100.00 for rent if it comes down to it. Just please god please help us get out of this hellish place and on the road to self suffeciency. I am almost there but my local services are not available due to so many people out there who can wait at four a.m. to get rent assistance. I cant do that not with a one year old. :*( I also cant wait around hoping i win a lottery for rent assistance either. I call human solutions everymonth. I am a responsible caring mom, I have items to sell or trade JBL car amp, baby items/toys he's outgrown, Piaa fog light systems, dvds, pretty prom dresses in perfect condition or use towards donations if I am awarded my AIDE requested amount. 

thank you god bless.
