I am in urgent need of serious dental work. Due to my pregnancies being so close together and the medications I was on my teeth have become in serious need of work. We cannot afford to get it done without my children having to suffer so I suffer day to day. I need 1 tooth pulled and several fixed. I cannot find a dentist any where around us that is willing to help or work with us on costs. I would be ever so grateful for any help. I would give anything to be able to truly smile in our next family photo or for my children to look at my smile and say how pretty mommy... anything. My oldest daughter is now in school and I want her to be proud of her mommy not embarrassed

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

I live in Daleville, AL, home to Ft. Rucker Aviation  -- helicopter headquarters of the Army. Single, but in a fabulous relationship; 48 yrs. old, but I look pretty darn good for an old lady; mom to 2 boys who are adults (kinda); own a greyhound named Murphy who was adopted from Ebro Race Track, Florida; live in a very very hot state where the corn crop has literally burned before our eyes.  I have a 89 Chevy Cavalier Z24 that is sitting in my driveway and needs a starter (it's really a cool car).  I was born in Germany and I am a US citizen.  I sang in a collegiate choir for 7 years with little 18, 19 and 20 yr. old babies and even got asked out on a date by one of them (I didn't go -- married at the time, plus my oldest son would have had a stroke).  My eyebrows are tatooed on.  I got it done in 1999 after years of penciling them on like a 40's movie star or a hooker.  My kids were horrified if I took them to school without them on. I taught junior high drama for 7 years at a Catholic school (what a trip -- I'm still recovering).  I have been a Boy Scout leader for over 12 years (I did give it up last year after my son got his Eagle Scout badge).  I met Robert Beltran (First Officer Chakotay) from Star Trek Voyager and John deLancie who played Q in Star Trek Next Generation at separate Sci-Fi conventions in Cleveland. I am dying of kidney disease. I was waiting for a kidney, and now I have one. My sister will donate on September 19, 2006 at University of Alabama at Birmingham Transplant Center.

I will need some help paying for things that the insurance won't cover. Every little bit helps and I will also pledge to help my friend Shirley at the dialysis clinic with some of her bills, too. She has absolutely no support network.

    I am a single mother of 2 beautiful children and I go to school full time therefore I am not able to work.  I provide 100% of all the care for both children with no help!  I am having a really hard time right now as my financial aid grant has been stretched to the pennies but the school recieved 99% of it anyway.  I would really like some advice or help!  Gas was shut off, rent, electric, and water are all due and I of course hardly have the money for diapers!  Someone PLEASE help I am desperate! Thx-desperate in tx----email----lill_momma1@yahoo.com

i am just a stay at home mom who is struggling with things right now i hope things get better soon.

I am a 30 yr old single mother of 2 residing in Connecticut. I am currently working as a casino dealer , very odd hours..my shift is 5am -1pm. and only scheduled 2-3 days a week. I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome ( yes it is a very real sickness) which makes it very hard to function outside of home. I also have recently been told that I have Spina Bifida (don't know why it wasn't found when I was born ??!!) I would like to be able to work from home and spend more time with the kids. I dont want to have to apply for disability because I would like to have my own little business and have things to do.  I also would like to own my own home one day. Im trying to keep my hopes up that I can make this happen. I have been renting for the last 10 years and I would love to have my own home one day. Any information on how to buy a home with not so good credit or any grant programs would be greatly appreciated

Thanks Ahead of time!!

36 years old.  Widowed with two sons and a daughter.  I'm a hard worker, very caring, giving person.  No matter how tough I may have it, if I can do for someone else in need I will. 

 I enjoy the outdoors, Autumn is my favorite time of the year.  When I've got time, I love to take long walks.  That's when I let the tears out...thinking about the walks I took with my husband.  I don't like to cry in front of the kids.

I enjoy poetry, all types of books, (historical romance my favorite) I like to bake from scratch (plus it's cheaper)

If I was rich, I'd probably have tons of pets.  Cats, Dogs, Horses, etc...

I love all kinds of music ~ varies with my mood.  Barry Manilow to Kenny Rodgers, to Janis Joplin and Motley Crue.

I'm an old fashioned type of person.  I'd take an old farmhouse before I'd have something new built.  I like candles at Christmas ~ not bright flashly lights. Simplicity and tradition. Keep it real and keep it family.

I am simply one mommy in the world that wants herself and her family to make a difference for others through sharing Christ.  We have been so blessed to have a home, clothes, & food.  So many people are  not as fortunate.  I think that it is important that we help each other when we can and pass it on to someone else.

I now work from home and my husband will be able to quit his job and work with me sometime next year.  I am so thankful for that, as he is a welder and it really bothers his asthma.  I have also been able to show my mom and others how to do the same thing so that they can earn a very comfortable living from their home with only a computer & a phone.  My team is one of the fastest growing in the company and we are changing peoples lives.

Hi i'm a 30 yr old single stay at home mom of three kids.  I love to help people when I can.    I am a very friendly person and easy to get a long with.  I have helped many people in my lifetime and plan to help many more people before I leave this earth.

expenses and tools. If anyone knows of a legitimate grant that can help make this dream happen

please let me know. Sincerely,S.C

I am a mother of 4 and critically ill with having well over 45 + face & Brain surgery's, not to mention all  the other surgery's and medical problems due to complications,
   The reason I am writing you is because I'm need some "Personalized" help in seeking a way That I can bring in a income to my family, I want to teach my children that it does not matter the situation that you keep on trying, I want to do Honest work at home that has no start up fees. I only get $350,00 a MT disability and no other help, So I need to find a job that I can work at home,.I have always ran my own company's . I had my own practice in Sports Medicine before I got sick then I use my Knowledge  in Homeopathic Medicine, To make Herbal scent moist heat packs and eye pillow, I made natural Soaps and Body Oils, and I even Made whole made Chocolates. My 4 children as well as myself would take it the flee market every weekend and sell what we had made all week. Around that time is when all the brain surgery's  started and 18 hrs a day of Intravenous medication, It was bit difficult hauling 4 children all my product and walking with in Iv tubes coming out my chest, what a site that was "lol" we managed for a while sadly the demand for he product became to great for me to make all by myself everyday in my kitchen,
  That started me studying gemstones after brain surgery, I spent 2 years studying gemstones, I did sell high end jewelry on Ebay , but  During a move we were robbed. "long story"  they stole Everything we owned I do mean everything and the insurance did not cover excuse they found a loop hole as usual. Now I have no other income, Please Know that I'm not a Victim I am a Survivor & I am very blessed I have the privilege to be with my children as they grow up when they said I would not live this long "what do they know" "lol". 
    I have learned many life lessons, I can't do much physically now but I do some kind of craft everyday with the younger children,We have done so many different craft. We draw paint, do clay, the favorite is making Jewelry but that is a treat because the pretty crystals are expensive, I can work on the Computer,
   I know the end and out of a how to run a company to having happy personal , they will do a better job, To satisfying the Hardest to Please customer, I keep my self up to date learning and studying the newest trend to the next big craft, I know how to do Advertising, I like being very creative, I know how to do import and export, In my journey, I have been blessed to learn many Life lesson along the way. I have been on the Top and I have been on the bottom. I will not give up and I will not ask for sympathy, I'm not different than anyone else, I just have a few Challenge but don't we all. The reason I won't sell on Ebay, Is because the market has changed and the fees are to high, There only a few ways to make money on Ebay now, One is to be a Huge company that is able to import the inventory, Or to lye, If I can't do it honest It's not happen.
       Oh my I can't believe I just told everyone all this, I guess it because I know if there an opportunity for me to become part of your team I would fill honored and privileged,
   Thank you for what you do and if you have any ideas, Please pass them my way.
        May you be Blessed 10 fold.
             Best Regards

       Hi,

           My name is Kacy and my little daughter is Jordan she just turned 2 on 3/4/06. I have an older son Aaron who just turned 16 on 3/6/06. I am a single mom with physical challanges and my daughter is also physically challanged she was born with Amniotic band syndrome. her hands and feet have been affected by this horrible birth defect which is rare and she has had several surguries to corect her mained feet , and hands.She is not yet walking, but is getting closer everyday. She is a sweet funloving  and adorable lttle girl and deserves the best. Her father just made contact and meet his daughter for the 1st time, I  am not expecting much from this sudden contact.  I have no family my parents both died young.

 I am in need of surgery so I can contunue to walk and care for my daughter. This causes an added expense to the already maxed out budget we both recieve social security and it's impossible to make the basic meet.When something  comes up and is an added expense, getting into dept and behind on bills , another worry, addd to an already full plate. Having this surgery means I will have to hire child care for my daughter for about 4-6weeks , and some one that can help with house work and errands. My insurance won't cover this as this is what your family does.

          I really can't afford to put this surgery off any  longer and I also can't afford to get anymore into dept. I had been paying out of pocket for car repairs to the point where I had to take out payday loans just to cover rent and food. This is a rural area and transportation is a must. Especially when your child needs regular medical attention, and a trip to her specialist is a 3 hour drive 1 way. After 8 months of this my old car was replaced.

         So Now I am reaching out to people I don't know to help. I really need to find a grant, I  am still behind due to my junk car putting me out. Since the only income is from Social Security, I don't file any tax return. We live in NH. The amount of food stamps allowed is $10 a month, I don't understand this.  I try to be strong for my kids but , there are times when I feel  trapped and helpless, trying to live on an income below the poverty line because some trama happened  seems like an added insult. . 

Before my incident, in a hospital operating room that almost took my life.( I believe I was given too much anestetic to flatline for 6 minutes, lose all function, and have to be put,, on life support and spend a month in a coma. On this same day when your husband is notified of your condition he rushed to probate court almost a 2 hour drive and gets a order of custody of my son. is there 2 hours after I wake from the coma to tell me he has moved and taking his new little weapon with him-never told the court where I was.)I worked hard and never needed to ask for anything. I had a beautiful home, was in an ok marriage for 9 years. I owned and operated my own pet grooming business. All this was gone in one day, including the marriage. I was damaged , and was never going to be who I was before. Now I was going to be someone who had to ask others for help - this was so difficult when most of your life you have been independent, and anything you needed you got without having to asking for it. It also took me many years to clean up the dept left over from the marriage, my credit has gone from bad to none and in the credit world there is no difference Thankyou in advance for any help.                                                                                                        Kacy, Aaron, and Jordan 

PS If anyone has any information on grant progrms for children  with specal needs please let me know.

Hello my name is Micki. Iam a single mother of two beautiful little boys, Braxton 8 yrs old & Aiden 3yrs old. A little over two yrs ago my son moved to NY with his father. I have court ordered visitation in the summer and on holidays. His father is going against the order and wont let my son come home. He hasn't been home in a year. This is killing us. Im under so much presure because my son made me promis that his little brother and I would move to Long sland N.Y. as soon as we could .There are no words to tell you what this has been like for my family, my three yr old starves himself for wks at a time when his brother left, and each time after he visits the same, and thats just the begaining of what we go through. It's been two yrs and we are no closer to moveing. I don't have the funds to move , don't know how to find a three bedroom home for my children and I there , not to mention finding a job there that will afford us to live. I can not afford legal councel at all, so I am unable to file comtemt charges against his father..... My son has some special needs, he has "CAPD" hearing difficulty, and "ADHD", also has an inoppreible "aracnoid cyst", in his brain that was descovered right befor he left to live with his father. I know nothing about my sons medical wellbeing now that he is there , I know nothing about his education now that he's there, and it was ordered that his father provide me with that info. His father never met "his" son untill he was almost three, and that was because we went to NY to make him meet him. ONLY after that did he imedietly file for custody of my son .We fought for over two yrs. untill I ran out of money, Im still paying that off. Please befor you assume I wasn't proven "unfit" , that law doesn't apply to Oklahoma. Just "best interest" = IE", who has more money. What I need is help someway to get there, (N.Y.) money, job, home. ASAP". Thank you for anything you can do. I'm not looking for a hand out, not looking for a new life , my sons needs me and we need him. What has happend is wrong and I can't let this go on till he is 18 . I will do anything to get back in my little boys life. If there is any thing I can do for you in return please don't hesitate to ask. P.S. I miss him so very much.....please, please help us!!!

I am a mother of a 2 year old son.  My husband and I try very hard to make a home for our family.  He lost his job the day after Christmas and has had trouble finding another one.  I have picked up some contract work, and am now working two contract jobs in addition to my full time job.  I was diagnosed 2 years go with multiple sclerosis, so the extra work is not an easy task.

Anyway, we got behind one month on our house payment and have been unable to catch up.  Our bank is demanding two months (the behind month plus this month) payment within 48 hours.  I don't have it and don't know what to do.

I am a single mom aged 41. i'd like to try to buy a house for my very small family. i want to give my daughter some stability. however. i cannot afford it, because i have an overwhelming school debt hanging over my head. any tips or suggestions on how to pay it back or have some of it forgiven would be most appreciated.

also, the father of my baby will not get a job and pay his support to her. it is causing quite a lot of strain on my finances also...

any help would be paid forward as soon as possible in any way i can.

thanks/

Hi everyone!  I'm a working mom who would like to advance her career in an effort to earn more money, and better support my children.  My job offers a very small college tuition program ($2,000 a fiscal year - that will buy some books!), but I need help finding money to cover the rest of it. 

I currently work at an agency which supports people with various disabilites.  I would love to stay in the field, but move up through the "corporate" part of the agency.  I have a bachelor's, but most jobs above mine require at least a masters. 

So, long story not so short, I'm looking to see if anyone knows where a mom can get a scholarship to continue her education, and how to avoid all those "free money" scams.

Thanks for your time.  Appreciate the thought
