Hey folks, my name is Geri, and guess what, I am fat, I let myself go, and now it has gone too far.  I am not lazy, I am just worried about not being there for my boys.  I own my home, but, my credit is icky.  I am looking for a few good souls to help me in my quest for lap band surgery. http://myroadtobariatricsurgery.blogspot.com/

I am planning on going to Mexico http://www.obesitycontrolcenter.com/index.html  to have this done,  it is not a fly by night operation.  Please help me save my life.  I am not going to sugar coat it.  I need $10000.00, soon.  I am so scared of dying.  Guess, I should have thought about that sooner, but, now, I am ready to do something about it.. I am taking the least expensive way to do this. 

I will definitly Pay it Forward, as I can.  I believe in that.. I will also thithe 10% of what I get to my church.

My husband and I are both disabled. He has CardioMyopathy which is a disease of the heart. There isn't anything they can do medically for him. This causes his heart to function at 14% and it is very difficult for him to move around. He also has congested heart failure which makes him retain water and that also makes it difficult for him to move around. There isn't anything that can be done for these condition but prescribe medicines for him that can help relieve some of the problems. He has to use a wheel chair to go out because he is unable to walk very far. He also has to watch his fluid intake and his sodium. He had to go back to work in order to keep medical insurance. Against Doctors orders the doctor said he is a drop over dead candidate. I am also disabled with a disease called familial spastic paraplegia. This is a progressive disease and it causes spasms and weakness and an unstable gate. I have been in a wheel chair for 15 years. This disease is so uncommon and there isn't anything that can be done for me medically except prescribe some medicines that will help with the spasms and pain. I have been unable to find employment and at this time we are having some issues that need to be addressed and we just can't take care of them on our own. We are in desperate need of a person that can pave an alley. We need someone that can do it at a discount rate because as I said we are hurting financially. There are other things that need addressed and I am sure in time we will attempt to work on them. This alley needs to be addressed right away because it in sinking in. We live in South Central Pa please contact me by email if you can offer any assistance. Be it by a financial donation to my PayPal or a job that I am able to do. I have to get these things addressed as soon as I can because the alley is starting to sink in and I am praying to God that, that does not happen. I am going to keep praying and keep Faith that this will be taken care of. Thank You for any help that you can offer. God Bless

My name is Melissa. I have 2 lil boys. I'm asking for help or some info on where I can get help for my boys. We live paycheck to paycheck and just making ends meet is hard enough.    My oldest is 7 and he needs some Dental work done. We do have insurance thats pays for part. We will be left with about $500 for the work that needs to be done and it has to be paid up front. One of his teeth are now breaking and I really need to do something about it but don't have the money. I also have a son that is 4 and he starts school next year. Most of his teeth came in looking rotten. Some of them now are giving him problems and we have had them looked at but there is nothing I can get anyone to do unless I have money upfront. His all together after insurances is going to be about $1800. I can show proof of what the insurances company has sent me with these amounts. I have tried to call everywhere I can find and think of and no one knows where will help with dental.

PLEASE ANY HELP OR INFO WOULD BE GREAT!!

Thanks

We are a family of five, my husband is in the military and I worked part time until I lost my job.  Bills piled up on each other, and we were in very serious danger of loosing all of our utilities.  I managed to find employment at home which when coupled with my husband's income has gotten us to the point we are treading water.  We are making it, and I hope I can inspire others to hold on, too.

hello, me and my family lost everything in the flood in iowa and are currently in a fema trailer. i was hoping that someone would hear my cry for help in helping our family .we have been down finacially since june. my husband cannot work, i work full time and go to school i have three great kids jaden 10, amee 8, jasmin 5, i would just pray that that we keep our heads up and keep moving forward. my husband will be leaving for a year and it will be twice the struggle for me. but if anyone has any advice on how to apply for a grant without having to pay, or without having to pay for even a book please let me know...... and if anyone would like to donate gift cards to my family walmart, target, kmart, we are still trying to get stuff back that we lost in the flood. thanks for looking god bless.  christycria@yahoo.com

I need your help.  I am 23 years old and just graduated from college and planning to get married in the summer.  I have a Bachelors of Science degree in Management and Information Systems and was on the Dean’s List and on the National Dean’s in college.  However, I have been plagued with many unfortunate circumstances.  I can’t seem to find a job right now and can’t pay the bills.  I don’t have enough in my checking account to even pay for next months bills, and I have cut back on everything I can think of, even cutting back on food.  My credit cards are all maxed out and I have no one to turn to for help.  Here’s the thing, like I said before I just graduated from college and my loans are starting to have to be paid back which is in excess of $25,000, my car started leaking coolant into my engine, which is going to cost at the minimum $750-$1,000, I need new breaks and new tires.  I have medical bills in the thousands of dollars which I can’t pay off.  If I do not get my car fixed I have no reliable transportation to even really get to and from work.  I have sold everything of value to anyone, and have really nothing left.  If something doesn’t happen for me soon we will be out in the street.  Anything someone can do to help is greatly appreciated. I have never asked for anything from anyone before and anyone who knows me would verify that, but I have no where else to turn to for help. I’m not asking for much just a little something to help with the bills.  Or better yet anyone that can help me with a job would be even better.  Like I said before I have a Bachelors of Science degree in Management and Information Systems.  So anything in IT would be great and I am willing to start at the bottom.  Please help.  My email address is pleasehelpmesoon@gmail.com, and you can email me if you are willing to help.  Once again thank you and God Bless.

I have been getting many people asking me the same questions about what it is I can do with my work. What would make me want to go to a region that is so unstable and is "helpless" because:

"That's just their culture, they've always been like that - why try to stop it now?"

WRONG. That is NOT their culture and I'd like to give you a small incite into the world that I am trying so desperately to preserve for future generations of humanity. It is a world of beauty and hope, incredibly loyalty among the tribal villages where respect and honor are the modes of gaining leadership of the community.

Daoud Hari is a Darfurian translator. He is one of millions of people that have been displaced by the war in Darfur and instead of finding himself ina camp, he felt his duty was to use his knowledge (rare) of English, Arabic and Zaghawa (a Darfurian/Chadian dialect) to help reporters and aid workers get into the deepest darkest places of Darfur where the atrocities are happening daily.

He has written a book about his travels to different parts of the region and how he has himself been in situations that would make the best of us curl into the fetal position and cry for the lack of humanity that ravages the Sudan. It is called, "The Translator."

These people have families, extended families and rely on each other and the networks they have created to sustain their villages and care for their children. The children play games as we did here in the States, a common game for them is similar to our "Capture the Flag."

 They work harder than most American's and the fruits of their labor are spent not on themselves, but anyone who is in need. Giving is so much more important than receiving. You take care your own of course, but your own includes your people. We are all human, and these people have understood that for generations.

We are one, we are humanity, that is why everything must be preserved, but first. Respected.

I am doing my part to bring awareness to the international community so that these people, who are the most intelligent and respectful people in the world back to their homes and end this genocide so they can have what they want most. Peace. Simply to live and to live in peace.

I am separated, a mother of 2 toddlers...so that means I am raising them on my own and now I am in a new state where I don't know anyone except for the people I have met at church. I just want to get on my feet, I need a job so I can get my own place and get this rolling. I hate feeling stuck and helpless but I am determined to make it. I have no choice

Pancreatitic Cancer has taken almost everything I ever had. I AM NOT A QUIETER and with equipment I have received I am about ready to begin working again.

It isn't easy forcing yourself when you are in pain 24/7 to be independent but I am beginning to do it but I still need help with 1 thing.

I need transportation desperately so I can work. I have an old work van I can sell for about $500 but it needs $1000 of work to pass inspection as now the steering went out on me. Even if it was working the MPG is only about 7 miles per gallon and because of the cost of gas it costs me over $10 just to go to my doctor 12 miles away once a week.

I will not ask for any dollar amount, just what anyone can spare so I can sell the van and get something that is dependable and cheap on gas. So please help me get transportation so I can be independent and work. There is no public transportation where I live and I have made it this far and with your help I WILL SUCCEED.

SUBJECT:   HELP PLEASE !

To Whom It May Concern:

If I may take a few minutes of your time I would like to share with you where my family currently stands with our finances, including our mortgage, and how we got to this point. On May of 2006 I left my previous 12 year job with County Fire Department for the following three reasons: (1) my position with County was being eliminated as of July 1st 2006. (2) Because I was losing my job with County I tried to be positive, aggressive, and proactive in finding a new job before I was let go. I Began testing in Colorado in October of 2005 and was doing very well. I continued testing for the next nine months truly believing I would be successful in getting a job in Colorado in particular with the Denver City Fire Department.  I was very successful with my testing efforts and the job was pending on passing a final background. The Start/hire date was estimated to be around mid July giving us enough time to pack move and get established in our rental home before I started my new job. (3) My wife was pregnant with our second child and was put on mandatory bed rest by her doctor until further notice due to complications. This happened in the first of May and I resigned 5 days later with County Fire to be with my wife and my two year old daughter.

It’s about mid May of 2006; I am home packing the house to move, taking care of my wife and my daughter. I continued making trips to Colorado for final testing and to look for our new home and a rental. We as a family make a trip around the end of May and put money down on a new Pulte house in Broomfield Colorado and we find a rental to live in until our house is built. My parents came along with us because they are also selling their house and moving with us. Our current home in Helendale has not sold yet and the market has dropped significantly from what it was one year ago. We decided that if it doesn’t sale before we move that we could afford to rent it out and we would be able to make up the difference with the money I would be making on my new job.

By June we are ready to move and are looking forward to this exciting new start with our lives in Colorado. Around mid June I receive a letter from Denver City stating that I did not pass the final Background and was disqualified for employment. I called to find out what happened and they said that they could not divulge any information but said that I could hire my own private investigator to find out what caused the problem. I hire an investigator and find out that we have been victims of identity theft for many years and that would automatically disqualify me from any government/public service job. I was confused and angry without any idea what had happened or how to fix this problem.

It is now July of 2006 I am now without a job unable to move and trying to figure out what to do for a job to support my family and how do I accomplish fixing this identity theft problem. I spend the next 8 months trying to fixing the identity theft problem spending over 5, 000.00 dollars of our money (not to mention the 75,000 per year lost from losing employment) making hundreds of phone calls to agencies such as San Bernardino County Sheriff, FBI, FTC, IRS, Social Security, AIG, Creditors, Banks, and many others. I have filed two dozen reports to meet the needs of every agency requesting documentation, I have also spend 8 to 10 hours a day looking for work or working small jobs like washing cars, yard work, small construction jobs etc. I have turned in over thirty (30) applications but I am unable to find work because my fifteen years of experience, diploma, and formal training are all based on the Fire Service. The catch 22 problem is I can’t test for fire departments until the identity theft problem is solved or I would run into the same problem I had with Denver City. I continue to hear the same thing from every employer, why are you here and are you going to go back to the fire service? Once I explained the problem they seemed compassionate about my problem but were unable or unwilling to hire me. Over the months we get further and further behind financially. Finally by mid January of 2007 I find a new job. The job is with Barstow Community College and is only part time at this point but I am extremely happy to be working again. Even though I am working I continue looking for full time work in the fire service.

The past several years I have been in a head on car accident with a drunk driver, lost a child, lost my grandmother on Christmas day, lost a best friend to cancer, lost both cars that we owned, my identity, a career, my dreams, ambitions, hope, peace of mind and joy. I have also sacrificed many personnel items like golf clubs, Thomas Kinkaid art collection, football card collection, collector coins passed down by family, and many other valuable items that we had to garage sale or sold on EBay to make money just so we could survive. Our credit has been severely damaged and our faith challenged. In addition to all of that I have suffered from several illnesses requiring medications and a lot of doctor visits. We experienced corrupt real-estate when we tried to refinance our home to get money to help us and instead we lost 30,000 dollars and gained nothing, that problem is currently under investigation with the DRE. We also gave up our dream to move to Colorado, a new house, a great new job doing what I love, and having the ability to help my parents who are retired and on a fixed income and were also counting on moving. My wife and I are hanging on by a thread and are tired, stressed, frustrated, deeply depressed, angry, and confused. We really don’t want to lose the one thing we have left, our home.

I totally and completely understand that this is not your problem and that you are not responsible for helping us in any way, however, I hope that you can find it in your hearts to help my family anyway possible. This is our problem and I take my commitment that I made to you very serious and we continue to do all wee can to make things right again. We really don’t want to lose our house. I refuse to walk away without trying to do everything in my power first. I don’t want a short sale or foreclosure, this does nothing for you or me to solve the problem and in the end we all lose. I am confident that there is an answer to this problem and that it can be solved. Again, I understand you don’t owe us anything and you have every right to take our home, I just ask that if there is any way possible that you or anyone else may be aware of to help us help our selves get back on track, please let me know. Please help us if you can.

As stated in this letter I am now working part time and my wife starts working the first of April. We are confident that we can get back on our feet and are slowly getting there. Please understand that we have lost over 100,000 dollars this past year to year and half, but we are not going to give up we are resilient, confident, humble and hard working and we are committed to make this unfortunate situation right again. We will try to do ALL we can to make this work and pray you can help us. I thank you so much for your time and consideration in regards to this matter.

When I was 18 I had tenncare and went to the dentist the dentist knew I needed dental work and he sent it in to tenncare. Tenncare said no to everything . I lost tenncare dental when I turned 21 . After having my son in 2006 my husband left for basic training for the army . Only one of my teeth looked like it was chiped so I saved what I could and went and seen a dentist . Just to have what needed to be done I was going to have to come up with over 7000 . I have never seen that much money in my life . I did this year save 260 to get 2 root Canals. I got there they started and then I was told I would have to come back to let them finsh and I would have to bring another 190 . I mean I have three kids , everything in my house was someone in my family I didn't buy it new . I don't have name brand clothes .  I feel like I am ugly , after having my kids I have went from 115 to 200 , really bad teeth that you can see the black in them because all the bad ones are in the front and 2 are bad in the back . I just want to feel like I am worth it , I don't want to feel like my husband is saying I am pretty just to make me feel good . I want to be able to look at people when I am talking to them . I don't want to feel less of a person or Just an ugly person the rest of my life.
