need help with rent

Need help paying bills.

I have a problem with too many bills. I am on social security disability and my credit is poor. I have decided not to work outside of the home, because my seven year old son is autistic. I got into trouble with some payday loans to cover the gap untill I find an income from inside of my home. Now I don't have enough money to pay my rent and utility bills. Please help if you can.

Yes, I struggle with simplifying my life, but I Thank God in Jesus Christ that I have my child at home with me, I am clean and sober one full year, and I can actually give up working to help my son have an extra advantage because of his disability.

It really does heal to forgive, and happiness and contentment do not come from a large bank balance, but out of love and caring for others. As a recovering addict, this seems quite foreign to me. I am hoping to help other kids out with disabilities as well. My son will go on medication at the end of July. He displays symptoms similar to adhd. He was taken from me this time last year by the CPS. Fortunately it turned out to be the best thing for all of us, I am willing to forgo the retirement fund, vacations, and a big career in order to heal from addiction, domestic violence, sexual abuse, and isolation.

If you think your world is going to end, it won't. What happens to you in life is a lesson or a blessin. I still have to pay rent, buy groceries, and pay utilities, car note, and car insurance. I am way in debt, but I will not give up. I stand to gain more from losing, a little bit of the opposite of most people, but I am not afraid.

SINCERELY, 

CONCERNED MOM

Making my life better...

A while ago I wrote about being in need of monies for bills, rent, and other things and I felt sorry for myself because I had no resources to help dig my family and myself out of the mess I got us into. Today the problems haven't disappear but I am handling them in a different way. I completed another associated degree for Health Information and for now I haven't moved to find a job in this feild but I tell you that I am not sitting at home doing nothing, I found a temp agency that allows me to try my hat at many things. Somethings are old, for instance I was a direct care counselor for many years, so I found an agency that allows me to work in that feild as much as i want and then there's the Medical assistant aspect of my life that is fairly new and the same agency allows me to do my thing as much as I like, so I am doing something and little by little I am holding my head up a little higher because i decide that I can only do what I can, pay what I can because I am not going to beg for help form family members, strangers, or friends anymore because I will work out my problems the best way I can. So to those who e-mail me thank you and god bless.

Please help, I lost my job and have been trying to keep the roof over my head.  My landlord is about to evict me, I've already had my judgement served in court.  I have 3 children that will be out on the streets if I can't get caught up, one is only 10 months old.

I've been doing side jobs at much as I can but still need to come up with over $2,000 by April 21st.  I'm looking for a job, but even if I get one full time, I won't be able to come up with the money in time.

I am very handy and can do plumbing, electrical and carpentry.  Will work for any type of financial assistance.  Donations greatly appreciated.

 email me at yooopergreg@yahoo.com if you can help me. 

 Desperate.

Hello I am a 32 yo father of 3 who was unemployed for little of a month. My wife homeschools my oldest child of 10 and works full time. With being out of work it set us back. I can not get a credit card for previous decisions that have hurt me now. If we don't have rent postmarked by the june 5th 2008 we will become eveicted and homeless. I have borrowed so much from my parents that they can't afford to help anymore. I have tried government assistance and they say I make $1000 to much which would be were I couldn't have a home. Other agencies or companies can't get us the amount we need. I am not looking for a handout all the time. I am afraid of losing my kids and do not know were to turn to. Gas is so expensive but I have to drive to work and i do not make enough to get a little car that would help me there. When things get better I want to be able to help one day and I will for when others do a good deed there is a return of some gratitude that will last forever.

I am taking care of a disabled veteran and I also have two children who depend on me. I lost my job and now I am two months behind on all my bills, I received a notice from the landlord stating that I have 10 days to come up with the rent which is 885.00 thats not including the electric which is 495.43 and the car 287.89 In other words if I don`t come up with this money we all are going to be homeless. Can somebody help or tell me who can help me?

Hi everyone,  I am a 21 year old full time student and full time worker..i have an 8-5 job sometimes earlier and go to school from 6-10.  With these hours and living by myself I had to learn to trust someone to submit my rent.  I have moved in to my apartment 2 months now and my first months rent was stolen (700) and now i am behind 700 on my rent.  Sometimes i try to hold my frustration and stress in but sometimes I have to break down and cry and wonder how I am going to pay for this.  If anyone can help or give any advice to point me to the right direction as to where I can go it would be greatful.  I know stupidity is not an excuse but I had no other choise.
