My mother and I share a house and are full time college students.  Trust me, if it were not for financial aid, we wouldn't be in college at all.  In the last two months, there has not been any work to do at our part time jobs, so we have no income.  We have bills that are coming due and nothing with which to pay them.  Our house needs a new roof as well as minor plumbing and electrical work.  The receptacle for our stove is not usable because it overheats and melts the plug, so right now, we are cooking on a two burner hot plate and using a toaster oven.  Our bathtub faucet leaks water like crazy (from the hot water side), and with nothing to repair it with, we turned off the hot water and now heat water on our two burner hot plate. 

We've looked at job listings in the newspaper and online and are trying to find some way to make ends meet.  So far, we haven't found anything that will allow the flexibility our college schedule needs.  If we don't keep our grades up, we lose financing for college. 

We know GOD is able and works in mysterious ways ~ often through the hands of Good Samaritans.  If you would like to help a Christian family pay their bills and make repairs to their home, please contact me.  Thank you in advance and may GOD bless you richly.

****** Update 11/26/06 ******

Everything is basically the same.  Still no work, no income, and needing help.  Our employer does not forsee any work for us in the month of December.  I've applied for a job as a night stocker at Lowe's and I've also picked up an application from a local retail store.  I'm going to apply at Wal-Mart as well.  We've checked with our local Community Action Agency about help with our heating, but they don't have any funds available at this time.  I will continue to check with them about assistance.  I'm believing something will come through...I have faith.  I would like to be able to buy a few Christmas gifts, but finances do not allow that at this time. 

Someday, I'd love to have enough money to be here offering help to others instead of asking for it.  If I had the money, I'd help everyone I could.  I know there are many who are in worse circumstances...at least I do have a roof over my head, food to eat (through food stamps), and clothes to wear.  Many don't have that...I'd love to be able to help them and many others.  Mark my words...one day I will.

** Update 12/20/06 **

We spoke with our employer a few weeks ago -- still no work and there will not be any more work for us to do with this company.  My mother and I both have applied at Lowes and she has tried to get on a list to take the civil service exam for the post office in our area.  I spoke with a DHR representative to find out who I needed to contact about employment there -- I have to take an exam and be placed in a pool of applicants.  I will be doing this ASAP.  There are a few restaurants in our area that may be hiring.  A new one will have their grand opening in January -- so we will both apply there.

Thank GOD that we are eligible for food stamps and are receiving those...if not, we'd be pretty hungry.  We are so grateful for what we have. 

I do ask that even if you cannot afford to help us in a monetary way, please, please remember us in your prayers. 

Thanks so much for reading and may GOD bless you.

Very Much In Need Of Help!!! Please

Hello, I was online @my parents house in search of any type of finacial help I couldd possibly get and came across this site. I am trying to do everything I can to get out of the situation I am in however I am getting no where. I was employeed and although I was struggling I was managing. However I am 22 weeks pregant and came into some complications with my pregnacy. My doctor took me off of work for a little over a week. I called my work after my doctor agreed to let me return however my work had decieded to terminate my employement, thier reasoning was job abandonment. However they would not hear my reasoning. I have applied to many jobs. any job is better than no job. But I have heard nothing back. This only leads me to believe it is b/c my pregancy is indeed showing now. I have applied for a medical card. However I am only allowed a temp card at the moment,which i have not yet seen. I cannot reapply for 2 months. I have a car, which I make 329.00 monthly payments. However my brakes went out and I cannot get them fixed b/c i have no income. Therefore leaving me unable to continue my job search,or aid in finacies.As well as doctors appointments and what not. I can not pay my car payment this month and i am behind 2 months already therefore my car is about to be repossesed. In addition to this the bed i sleep in is a rent-to-own bed(83.83 bi/weekly) and is due in a week. My rent is 395.00 a month and is also due in a week. My electric bill is 75.00 this month. I am paid up since last month, however it is due again soon. And I can not afford to do my laundry, buy groceries, prenatal vitims or any other prescriptions issued by my doctor. I am afraid of what is going to happen within the next week. I am losing everything I have. I dont know what to do. I need help! If anyone can help me i would extremely greatfuland try to repay them as soon as i was able. Or if anyoone has any ideas please let me know!

Dentures Needed

I took my 52 year old mother for her first teeth cleaning in more than a decade recently and they told her that almost all of here teeth were dead and needed to be removed and a full denture set put in.  They quoted her $3000 for all the work that needs to be done.  Since then 2 front teeth have fallen out and the surrounding teeth are getting looser by the day.  My mother lives in my house and watches my daughter in exchange for room and board but she has no income what's so ever.  I am a single mom and financialy can only provide her with the bare necessities and in no way can come up with the money to remove her teeth and put in dentures. 

Unemployment took us by surprise!

Please help us, my husband lost his job and now we have no income. We have used what little savings we had, but rent is due next week, and we don't have it. I am worried how I am going to feed my family. We have been looking for jobs everyday. I am even having yard sales every weekend trying to sell whatever I can. I am worried that we are going to be put out on the street. We have two sons who are also looking for work.  If anyone can help us, it would be forever appreciated.

I am an Australian mother of 4. I brought my children here for a Holiday after there Grandmother passed on, For having been so well behaved while she was sick. I met a man and we married (not always an ok marriage). We went to do our INS papers and the man took off with my daughters and my passports and airline tickets he also took the monies we had planned for this. I have looked into asking for help like this before but I believed that there were other people worse off than us. Until today. My husband has lost his job. Rent is due next week lights too.  My husband can't afford to do our papers with the INS because we really live from check to check barely making ends meet, we have no savings. We have lived in different Shelters in a couple of States for homeless people and I don't want my children to go back to that. We need to go home so that we may have our lives back. When we have tried to get some form of help they ask for our Social #'s and as we don't have any they try different ways to get around that but it always fails. After suggestions from people that worked with these Shelters I have written to different talk shows like Oprah, Montel and Maury and never recieved any replies besides the automated ones. We have tried asking State Governments for help but they tell us that they are unable to help us, I have contacted Govenors Offices after people told me that they would be able to help but again they just seem to end up going in circles too. We do not recieve any form of welfare. We entered this Country legally and we are stuck. I can't work legally so I have no income, I can't save money to go home, and if my Husband was to leave us we would have nothing, without my Husband (no matter what state the marriage is in) we would have the clothes on our back and be sleeping under the stars, hungry. Which we have done (as I remember when I found out that my ex Husband emptied a bank account I had back home) when I found this out I thought how we could have used that money to go home or to get food, at that time we had been living in a tent on a campground for months, my husband had left me at one point and we found ourselves at one of the Shelters we have stayed in. I don't want my Children to have to relive what they have already been through. I remember a man that tried desperately to help us he lived with his mother and he tried to help us by taking us to different Goverment Offices where everything we tried didn't work. I clearly still remember how the shelters were.  I have no family here except for my Husband and Children. I can name the Shelters we stayed at I can even remember some of the staff but mostly I remember how they treated people. We have moved several times most of the time with less than a days notice to get out, leaving belongings with neighbours or childrens friends that we unfortunately have never seen or been in contact with since, so my children over the past have lost a lot of belongings, mostly without complaints. In person I find it terribly hard to say Thankyou to someone for showing some kindness or offering us help as we haven't recieved much of it in our past here and I have a hard time getting those words out without a showing of emotion. I am embarrassed and ashamed to be asking for help. I believe that in order for you to decide to help us or not you should know something of our lives. Thankyou with all our hearts.

Trying to push my story further and further so I have also created a Blog


If your interested Please have a look, I am slowly adding to it and trying to get it where people will see it. Thank You.

Comment: I pray that someone drops...
Note: This aidpage was started as a comment on "30 YEAR OLD MOTHER OF FOUR SUFFERING WITH SARCOIDOSIS AND LUPUS"

I pray that someone drops by and blesses you. They are checking me for sarcodosis tomorrow due to outbreaks of the skin. I don't know if you did research but when they mentioned that to me I did right away, sometimes it can go away as suddenly as it appeared but other times it may effect other organs, and the skin. So I am believing for a miracle for you. Be blessed and get well soon!
Desperately Need Help

I'm a recently divorced, self employed parent.  We have been able to reside in our current location for 6 months in a caretaker capacity as the owners live far away and needed to sell their current home before they could relocate.  I found out this morning that they are planning to move into the residence in March which leaves us with no home and soon no income.  Help!  I have never been in this type of situation before....No money,  no resources, overdue bills and tarnished credit.  I do not know where to get help from.  Any information would be truly appreciated!!!

I'm a single dad with a child with special needs. He has autism and I alone takes care of him. I'm a stay at home dad, bills are piling up, with little to no income. We could end up homeless somewhere down the road. I know no other place to turn. I have done my best for years and I have no regrets. I never thought I could find my self in this huge mess. It's very scary when there is a young child involved. I wished I didn't have to do this, but it's not me, it's my son. If anyone could help it would be great, if not I will understand. God Bless.

I'm 34 years old and I have a daugther that is 5 years old. I'm a single parent without a clue where the father of my child can be.  I have no job or no kind of income coming in to support my child and it's really getting  hard for me to maintain.  I only have alittle savings left for myself  and my child until the end of this month. I guess I'm looking for a miracle or a act of god to come and help and guide me to a job that pays well with benefits that's going to help now and in the future for  myself and my daughter. This is my first struggle with my child that I had since she was born. I just go home and pray aabout it every night and put it in god's hands. So please if you read this a little encourgement and a helping hand is needed despretly.
