Hope, Faith, Inspiration, Courage, Strength

You have to have HOPE to get though your difficult times in life.

FAITH To believe you will make it

You need INSPIRATION to find HOPE, FAITH, COURAGE and STRENGTH

You need COURAGE to deal with what life is throwing at you.

STRENGTH will get you through another day.

We all have these things in ourselves, we just need to find it. You are not alone and as long as you are here you will never be alone. There are people here who will pray for you, who will point you in the right direction and who will stand by your side helping you every step of the way.

There are wonderful people here

Elaine of TSA, Who ~ Knew, Ekikaseven, and Soulight 

are the most helpful and wonderful people. Together we can help you find the assistance you need, pray you have the strength and courage to make it another day, and encourage you to take the steps to help yourself.

I can not help you financially, I can not do what these wonderful people do everyday. But I can help you learn to be more self sufficient, and I can help you find the HOPE, FAITH, INSPIRATION, COURAGE, and STRENGTH that you will need to climb the mountain in front of you.

With Love in my heart,

Lady Christie

A Hug Certificate for You!

This poem is very sweet. It will be interesting to see who sends it back. Forward this on and back. I'm counting on you not to let me be the number one type person on the list below, but if you've got better things
to do, then at least you'll prevent me from being the number six type. Thanks!

If I could catch a rainbow I would do it just for you
and share with you its beauty
On the days you're feeling blue.

If I could build a mountain

You could call your very own;
A place to find serenity,
A place to be alone.

If I could take your troubles
I would toss them in the sea,
But all these things I'm finding
are impossible for me.

I cannot build a mountain
Or catch a rainbow fair,
But let me be what I know best,
A friend who's always there.

                    This is a Hug Certificate!!

Send One to All Your Friends You Think Deserve A
Hug (Which, Hopefully Includes the Person Who
Sent It to You).

You might send it to your enemies as well! It'll really tic 'em off!

If you don't receive this back .. nobody likes you, and they wish you'd stop bugging them.

If you receive this back 1 time ... Open up! Find more friends, enemies, or enemies pretending to be friends ...

If you receive this back 2 times ... You're off to a good start ... unless you sent it to yourself. that's cheating!

If you receive this back 3 times. You're a good friend

If you receive this back 4 times ...... You are popular,
-- I wanna be just like you.

If you receive this back 5 times or more. There are Angels watching over you....

If you get this back many more times than that, for cryin' out loud, get off the computer and get a life!

I just don't know where to begin. We have had the worst luck in the last 18 months. My daughter who is now 17 came to Georgia to visit her father two years ago. She wanted to stay, and I said Ok.  Since then her father and I have reconciled (after 14 yrs). I moved here in Sept 2005. He lost his job of 6 yrs in October 2005. We live on a Mountain, and were strapped with places we could move especially with not the money to move on. So he found another job, but they were doing weekly layoffs and taking away days to minimize on hours. So, my daughters 16th Birthday in October of 2005 she got nothing. We cried. We got over it eventually. Then nothing had changed by Christmas 2005 and it was taking nearly everything he made to pay bills, and gas to and from work. We had no Christmas, not even a special dinner. We ate Ramen Noodles and Eggs, and lots of Beans for months on end. By April 2006 we were under an Eviction, because we got so low on money (from trying to eat) that we were paying house payments by the week. Til it was behind and we were being evicted. By May of 2006 we had no choice but to move in with his Brother. This was very stressful. Because they had thier own family problems. However this did relieve a little stress of the house payment for awhile. After only one week, he found another job. Then after yet two months of trying to catch everything up, and of course paying 50.00 a week in rent (Me, him and my daughter all in one bedroom) he was laid off again. This was August 2006. Then they recalled him, yet to be laid off again in the first week of October. My daughter also had a very bad car accident October 18th (two days after her 17th birthday) totalling our only other vehicle by no fault of hers. Which left us with one vehicle and no way to get her to and from school. There is no bussing where we live. We have been managing with help from her friends getting her there. But then he was laid off a week in November and now he will be laid off from December 22nd Thru January 4th. We are behind on  all of our bills. And a cut off notice for the Electricity in the amount of $400.00. This is our part of what we are behind on with just the Electricity. And our whole house is Electric. I am lost , and have no where to turn here.

My father died since I moved here, 800+ miles from home. And I couldn't be with my family during that time of need. I have something wrong with my stomach and need medical attention badly, and cannot get it here. And my husband has severe Epilepsy, and his medications are 70.00 per month. And he is due for another doctor visit this month to get his six month prescription. We have no money for any of this, and he only has two weeks left of medication. I have search all resources available online, and throughout bigger communties that are 75+ miles from us, but no one helps our zip code. I don't know what to do.

Now, to make matters even worse, our dog acquired something and is in the process of dying as I write this. I am at my wits end. She is very ill, and bleeding profusly. Vet's wont help because of our finantual situation. They told me to put her out of her misery and bury her far from the home.

We will again have no Christmas, and we had no Thanksgiving. If anyone can help with anything this would be a blessing in Disguise. I will not ask for anything specific. Only pray about it and hope someone has some ideas for our situation that maybe this year we could provide our daughter (who is understanding) with something for Christmas. And maybe help with my husbands medications and doctor visit for December. As for myself, I am thankful to be with my husband again and I love him very much. And I wouldn't have it any other way if it meant being without him and my precious daughter. As for me, I don't want anything. I have what I need, my husband and my daughter. I just don't want either of them to suffer. His seizures are very bad. And He has been seizure free for 13 months with his medications. Which is at an alltime record for no seizures. Usually even with medications he has them every three months at least once.

Happiest of Holidays to everyone and God Bless you all!

The Chapman Family

THE NEXT DAY CAME....TRYING TO CONVINCE MYSELF THAT I COULD STAND UP AND BE STRONG FOR MY SON, TY.HE DEFINITELY NEEDED ME TO BE. I HAD BEEN UP THE REMAINDER OF THE NITE  WATCHING HIM SLEEP ON THAT PULL-IN COT. I WAS SO TERRIFIED. I DIDNT EVEN BELIEVE THAT THIS COULD ALL BE HAPPENING TO ME. BUT THERE WASNT MUCH TIME TO FIGURE OUT DETAILS OR CONCLUDE ANYTHING. TY WAS BEGINNING TO MOVE AROUND, AND I REALIZED HOW WONDERFUL IT WAS TO SEE AT LEAST 1 BABY TURN OUT OK.    THANK GOD HE HAD DECIDED TO STAY BEHIND, AT THE NIEGHBORS.  THE SECOND MORNING WAS JUST AS BAD AS THE FIRST. I DIDNT KNOW WHAT I WAS EVEN DOING FOR WEEKS. DON HAD TO GUIDE ME THROUGH EVERY MOTION. SEE, TIF HAD TO GO TO A SEPERATE HOSPITAL, BECAUSE OF HER AGE, AND THREE TRAUMAS AT A TIME, PRIMARY CHILDRENS TOOK THE TWOO BABIES, AND TIF WAS AT A DIFF  HOSPITAL. SO MY DAYS WERE SOUNDING LIKE;  TARA, WE HAVE TO GOT TO TRISTINS HOSP. YOU HAVE TO SIGN A TRANSFUSION RELEASE....HEY TARA, WE HAVE TO SEE TIF, ANOTHER SURGERY RELEASE, BACK TO TRISTINS, HIS SWELLING WORSENED, BACK TO TIF; .....YOU GET THE IDEA. A HORRIBLE NITEMARE FOR ANYONE. (AND STILL TODAY, I PRAY EVERYDAY FOR ALL MOMS. NO ONE SHOULD EVER GO THROUGH THAT. I PRAY FOR ALL KIDS, THE ABILITY TO SMILE.)

I USE TO THINK THAT IT WAS A  WEAK SUGGESTION WHEN I WOULD HEAR PEOPLE SAY, "TAKE IT DAY BY DAY". AT THAT MOMENT IN MY LIFE, I WAS STRUGGLING FOR MINUTE BY MINUTE. AND STILL DON WAS CONSTANTLY SAYING, TARA, BREATHE...UR NOT BREATHING." HOW I WISH I COULD TAKE BACK MY COMMENTS THAT MIGHT HAVE MADE THAT ONE PERSON FEEL LIKE A QUITTER, INSTEAD OF SURVIVING DAY TO DAY. I FEEL AWFUL ABOUT THAT TO THIS DAY. AND I PROUDLY ADMIT THAT AS OF RIGHT NOW, I HAVE GRADUATED UP TO DAY BY DAY.

AS WEEKS WENT BY, TIF GOT TO GO HOME. I STAYED WITH TRISTIN, AND TY , WHO WAS STAYING WITH FRIENDS,ALONG WITH DON, BROUGHT TIF HOME. THE DRS SAID IT WOULD BE ABOUT 6 MONTHS BEFORE SHE COULD START TO WALK AGAIN. LITTLE DO THEY KNOW MY CHILDREN. I HAVE THE STRONGEST MINDED, BRAVEST KIDS IN THE WORLD. TIF WANTED TO FINISH UP THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEK OF SCHOOL.8th GRADE.SHE COULD ONLY START OFF A HALF OF A DAY, IT WAS ALOT ON HER. 2nd PART OF THE DAY, SHE SPENT SLEEPING... IT REALLY WORE HER OUT.  SHE BEGAN WALKING ON A CANE WITHIN 2 WEEKS, AND YOU COULD IMAGINE HOW WONDERFUL IT WAS TO WATCH HER WALK ACROSS THAT GYM STAGE AT HER 8TH GRADE GRADUATION.

MEANWHILE, TRISTIN AND I STARTED OUR ONE ON ONE THERAPY. I TALKED TO HIM ALL OF THE TIME. WHEN THEY TOLD ME HE WOULDNT EVER TRUELY WAKE UP, PANIC FLARED. BUT ONLY FOR A MINUTE OF TWO.I REMEMBERED WHO THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT. MY SON. MY SON!! ALTHOUGH I HAD BEEN SLAPPED IN THE FACE WITH THE REALIZATION THAT THE WORST POSSIBLE SITUATION COULD VERY WELL OCCUR, I HAD TO BELIEVE HE WOULD PULL THROUGH. IWAS PREPARED TO LIVE RIGHT THERE IN THAT HOSPITAL ROOM, IF NEEDS BE, FOR AS LONG OF A TIME PERIOD THAT TRISTIN NEEDED TO HEAL HISSELF. DRS SAY THAT IF SWELLING ON THE BRAIN DOESNT BEGIN TO DEMINISH AFTER 48 HOURS, CHANCES ARE BAD THAT THE PATIENT WILL RECOVER. 6 DAYS IN TO THIS NIGHTMARE OF AN  ORDEAL, I WAS SITTING BY HIM, READING ELMO. I LOOKED UP AT HIS BROKEN UP LIL BODY, ALL IN A HALF BODY CAST, METAL BOLT IN HIS BRAIN, MACHINES ALL OVER HIM, I STOOD UP, AND KISSED HIS HEAD.  THE BEST THAT I COULD. I REMEMBER BEGGING GOD TO LET ME KEEP HIM. THAT NIGHT, TRISTIN OPENED HIS EYES FOR THE FIRST TIME..........

HIS EXPRESSIONS ON HIS FACE MADE IT TOTALLY OBVIOUS THAT THERE WAS NO ONE THERE.(IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.) LONG, COLD,BLANK STARE FOR THE NEXT TWO OR THREE DAYS. WE KNEW THAT HE COULD HEAR, BECAUSE HE WOULD TRY TO MOVE HIS HEAD WHEN I TALKED TO HIM.BUT IT WAS SO EASY TO OVERLOAD HIM, WE COULDNT HAVE LIGHT ON, OR SOUND. HE WAS FIGHTING THOUGH.  A FEW MORE DAYS IN TO THIS UPHILL FIGHT, THEY HAD JUST CHANGED OUT HIS NG TUBE, AND OF COURSE, MEDICATED HIM. BUT AS I PUT IN A FAVORITE CARTOON OF HIS IN, HE LOOKED OVER AT ME, AND SAID,"BLUE"

HIS FIRST WORD!!!YOU COULDNT EVEN IMAGINE HOW EXCITED I WAS AT THAT GIVEN MOMENT. I NOW KNEW THAT HE COULD TALK, AT LEAST.  ALSO, HE REMEMBERED THINGS FROM BEFORE, AND THAT HIS THOUGHT PROCESS WAS WORKING . AT WHAT EXTENT WAS TO BE DETERMINED LATER,AND STILL LATER FROM TODAY. THE BRAIN IS TRUELY AMAZING...................MORE TO COME.........

HI MY NAME IS KENYA GANT

I AM A LOW INCOME WIFE AND MOTHER OF THREE. I WORK TWO JOBS BUT MY HOURS HAVE BEEN CUT AT BOTH.

I NOW NEED TO SEE A GI DOCTOR,BUT IT IS GOING TO COST ME $1000.00 FOR THE VISIT AND THE PROCEDURE THAT I NEED UP FRONT. I CAN NOT AFFORD THAT. WE RECENTLY RECIEVED A BIG BLESSING. WE WERE APPROVED FOR A NEW HOME THROUGH HABITAT FOR HUMANITY AND JUST MOVED IN SEPTEMBER 15,2006. I DO NOT WANT TO LOOSE  MY HOME AND WE JUST GOT IT. BECAUSE OF MY HAVING TO TAKE TIME OFF WHEN I WAS ILL, WE HAVE LOST OUR ONLY TRANSPORTATION. MY CAR WAS REPOED. I DON'T KNOW HOW WE WILL MAKE IT,BUT I PRAY ABOUT IT EVERY NIGHT BEFORE BED.

PLEASE HELP ME,

KENYA -AKA- ANGELBABY

Hello!

I am from Croatia, a small country. I 'm working and study, but i can't collect money to pay all my bills, loans. I have a beautiful girlfriend and we have plan to get marry next year. We can only dream about our house. We need money for house and I have intention to go with army next year to afganistan, to earn some money and pay all loans. We are pray every day to God to help us, to give us health that we can work. I know that in world are people who want to help others, we also want to help other but we can't help financial, only we can do is pray for them. If somebody want to help us please pray for us. Thank you just for reading this! Bye!

 NOW THAT TRISTIN HAD MADE SUCH HUGE STRIDES IN HIS CONDITION, MY HEART COULD  COME OUT OF MY THROAT. IT HAD BEEN TOUCH AND GO FOR SO LONG, THAT I THINK EVEY ONE HAD BEGAN TO LOSE FAITH. INCLUDING ME. I NOW KNEW THE FEELING OF "IT CAN HAPPEN TO YOU". IF YOU CAN UNDERSTAND THAT. I HAVE THIS OVERWHELMING FEELING OF GUILT THAT EATS AT ME CONSTANTLY.   REASON?.....THE CHAPLAIN OF THE HOSPITAL HAD BEEN TELLING ME, OVER AND OVER, "DONT BLAME GOD FOR THIS."   AND I ALWAYS REPLIED TO HIM," HOW CAN I BLAME THE ONE MAN- THAT I NEED MORE THAN ANYTHING RIGHT NOW. HE IS THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN SAVE THESE OTHERS" BUT I LATER CAME TO THE REALIZATION THAT THAT IS EXACTLY WHO I BLAMED. THERE WAS NO OTHER PERSON LEFT. THE FACT THAT THE OTHER DRIVER DIED AT THE SCENE, HAS MADE A TREMENDOUS DIFFERENCE TO ME. I SHOULD BE ASHAMED. BUT THE ANGER THAT A MOTHER FEELS, AFTER SHE LAYS THAT BABY'S PERFECT LITTLE BODY DOWN FOR THE VERY LAST TIME, IS MORE POWERFUL THAN I COULD EVEN ATTEMPT TO PUT INTO WORDS. THE FACT IS, I FOUND OUT THAT SHE WAS DRUGGED UP ON HER PRESCRIPTION PAIN PILLS. NOT TAKEN BY DOCTORS ORDERS. SHE HAD TAKEN ALOT MORE THAN THAT. AND  I LOOKED DOWN, AS TRISTIN MUMBLED THOSE FIRST WORDS, AND I WAS EXCITED. THIS BEAUTIFUL BOY HAD JUST GIVEN US THE FIGHT OF HIS LIFE. AND MY PRECIOUS TAYTAY GONE FROM THIS EARTH.MY FULL-OF-LIFE MOTHER TAKEN FROM 7 REMAINING KIDS, 2 SISTERS, AND 43 GRANDCHILDREN, MY DAD, BIGGER THAN LIFE ITSELF, AND VERY MUCH STILL NEEDED HERE- WAS GONE FOREVER, AND TIF, STRUGGLING WITH THE FACT THAT SHE MAY NEVER HAVE CHILDREN.  AND WHY? BECAUSE THAT WOMAN COULD NOT WAIT 10 MINUTES,(YES SHE WAS 10 MIN. AWAY FROM HER HOME).         I KNOW FIRST HAND,.....RAGE IS A HORRIBLE FEELING. BUT I HAVE FELT IT.  EVER SINCE.

BRINGING TRISTIN HOME WAS A BITTER SWEET MOMENT. THE END OF THE CRITICAL WATCH, BUT NOW, I WAS SCARED BEYOND IMAGINATION. I DIDNT HAVE ANYONE TO TURN TO. HERE THIS LITTLE HELPLESS BABY IS.....WRAPPED IN A HALF BODY CAST, NG TUBE COMING FROM HIS NOSE, AND AT THIS TIME, THE ONLY EMOTION HE HAS BACK IS RAGE, HIMSELF. THERE ARE NO OTHER WORDS FOR IT. IF THE TV WAS ON, AND THE SOUND WAS NOT MUTED....IT WOULD OVERLOAD HIS BRAIN. CAUSING THIS REACTION. HE COULD NOT CONTROL IT EITHER, SO I WOULD HAVE TO MIX HIS MEDS AND BASICALLY KNOCK HIM OUT.     IT WAS SO EASY TO OVERLOAD HIM. NO VISITORS, NO SOUNDS COMING FROM THE HOUSE ALLOWED, NO SLEEPING UNLESS I HAD MEDICATED HIM. HE WENT 45 1/2 HOURS AT THE HOSPITAL ONCE BEFORE SEDATION. THEY WERE TESTING THAT, TO SEE IF HE COULD GO TO SLEEP ON HIS OWN.....NO, HE COULDNT.  MONTHS OF ONE ON ONE WITH HIM, AND WHEN POSSIBLE, GET OUT THERE TO FIX DINNER, TEND TO TIF, AND TY, FOR THAT MATTER. AND I WILL TELL YOU SOMETHING. I WOULD DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN. I STILL THANK GOD EVEYDAY FOR WHAT HE HAS LET ME KEEP ON EARTH, HERE. AND I MISS MY LITTLE BABY GIRL, MORE AND MORE EVERYDAY.         AFTER 6 WEEKS (LETS BACK IT UP A BIT) MY SECOND HUSBAND, TAYLOR AND TRISTINS DAD DECIDED HE COULDN'T HELP, NOR COULD HE COPE. ON MAY 19, 2006, HE KILLED HIMSELF.  

WHERE DO YOU PUT ALL OF THIS EMOTION? WELL, I WILL TELL YOU WHAT I DID. AS I WAS STILL GOING MIN. BY MIN., I JUST KEPT BREATHING. I KEPT PRAYING. AND I KEPT ON TENDING TO MY BABIES. THATS WHAT I DID.

AS I MENTIONED IN A PREVIOUS CLIP, TIF HAD WENT BACK TO SCHOOL PARTTIME. SHE WAS IN HER WHEELCHAIR MOST OF THE TIME. WHEN IT CAME TO HER FIRST ORTHOPEDIC CHECK UP( BACK TO THE 2 1/2 MONTH-MARK),THE SURGEON SAYS FOR HER TO START PUTTING A LITTLE WIEGHT ON HER RIGHT SIDE AS SHE WALKED UP ONTO THE CANE--ONLY--. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO FAINT. I WAS SCARED FOR HER. AND OF COURSE, RIGHT ON TOP OF HER, IN CASE SHE WERE TO FALL.(THIS BEING AFTER SHE WALKED ACROSS THE STAGE W/ WALKER). SHE LOOKED OVER AT ME AND SAID THE MOST EYE OPENING WORDS I HAVE EVER HEARD......"MOM, STOP IT!! I AM NOT MADE OUT OF GLASS!!!"

THAT MOMENT WAS THE BIGGEST BURST OF REALITY I THINK I HAD HAD TO THAT DATE. I HAD HOVERED OVER THE KIDS TO A SMOTHERING STAGE. I DIDNT EVEN REALIZE IT, BUT IT WAS DEFINITELY AN EYE OPENER. THE REASON FOR THAT????? I DIDNT HAVE TO GRIEVE. I COULDNT BELIEV IT, BUT I HAD WENT STRAIGHT FROM GRIEVING DAUGHTER AND MOTHER, RIGHT INTO, CARETAKER, NURSEMAID, AND HAD BEEN HIDING BEHIND THESE KIDS SO THAT I DIDNT HAVE TO TRUELY FACE FACTS. AMAZING DISCOVERY, IT WAS. AND NOW I KNEW THE WORST EVENTS IN MY LIFE WOULD TAKE PLACE........more rantings later......tc

The first time in my life I need help, and there is NO one out there to help me.

I'm a 45 year old women that lost her job, and everything..I mean EVERYTHING is being taken. I'm now 3 months behind on my rent, of course no car payment has been made (since NOV 06) and Im sure that will be next. Disconnection notices have been coming in daily. It's just a matter of time.

No wonder in America people comment suicide-this is more then some can take.

All I'm asking for is, please pray for me as I will for others here.

If I was in a financal situation to help anyone here, I would do it.

I honestly don't know what else to do.

Pamela

Has there been a great answer to your prayers you would like to share?  Wht has happened in your situation?  Any encouragement for those still in the middle or who are struggling??  Post it here!  We need to hear your story!

I have made some wrong choices and trusted someone I should have known better than to trust. But now, i'm about to lose everything I have including the most important thing "my husband".

If there is someone out there that would be willing to help; I would greatly appreciate it and arrange for FULL re-payment.

Please, I beg and pray some hears my cries. 

Please if you have ever been in a place where you don't even want to go to the mail box to get the mail you will understand. unemployed not by choice but not enough money for sitter to leave kids at home, or put gas in the car. anything will help our family. thanks

Hello, I am asking for help but find this very hard to do because I have always been able to stand on my own feet and be there for others.I am an American veteran, Vietnam era, and retired/disabled now due to four back operations and find myself in pretty dire straits. I was a carpenter and raised three kids. I have no health insurance and no usable funds with which to get any..I am always just a small step from homelessness.  My wife is a caring and loving woman who takes care of her 89 year old invalid mother full-time and cannot work either.  I pray to God each and every day that I will find some way to help her and me to exist a little longer.  My kids are as bad off, financially, as we are and I feel so helpless when they are in need but can't find a way to assist them.  If anyone can find it in their heart to help I would be eternally grateful.    

My name is Michelle Keys of Davison Michigan.At the age of 13 years old I was diagnosed with a genetic kidneystone disorder that has plagued me. The first stone they removed was the size of an eyeball. Over the years I have had over 50 surgeries. I am 38. I spend alot of time in Doctors offices , Hospitals. I moved away from here hoping that somewhere out there I could find some one who could find a cure for my health problems.I have stones now that HAVE to come out.

I ended up comming home to more problems. My parents are getting up there in age and have done as much as they can, it has been very stressful on my whole family when I have to phone in the middle of the night and ask for a ride to the hospital , or that need to know when you are working I need to go to the doctor. I have been home since December 4th. I have only been able to get to the doc. 1 time. Through ER 1 time. I have stones in both side and pray that they do not get stuck and if that was to happen Id be in big trouble.

About 71/2 years ago I had a car and was able to get myself where I needed to be wiether it was in the University Of Michigan Hospital in Ann Arbor.. I would take myself for ER. Doc. Appts and even surgery then drive home when I was well enough. But I have not been able to get the stones I have now out and the ones in the future out because I am on disablilty and dont make enough money to buy a car. Insurance I could get but there is no one to rely on anymore. So I set and suffer hopeing someone will take time out of their busy lives and once again take me for medical attention. The more time I wait to go the more damage I will get and closer to a transplant which is my biggest fear.

So if there is anyone that is will to donate a car that at least runs and can get me from point A to B I would be forever greatful.

I live by myself which is terrible. I have stayed with my sister for sometime and have missed so many appointments that I have had to find a different docs.

If you have any questions or need documentation I would be more the happy to supply that for you.

I pray and cant beleive that I have had to result in this but I have to try ,because Im not ready to give up and I have so many plans in my life to help others that I have to get better.

Here is my phone # 810-412-5265.

Sincerely,

Michelle Keys

My husband and I are currently trying to file for a chapter 7. We both have cars but since we have not paid on them in 3 months, they are about to take them. We thought we would be finished with the filing by now and able to get another car. Reason we were as well filing our cars is because we were so upside down in them. I still owe 18,000.00 on mine alone and found out recently that my car has been in a wreck and had frame damage. Now my car only values at 6500.00. My husband still owes 20,000.00 on his truck and we can't get out of it because he bought it brand new (before we married) and now no one will buy it for more then 16,000.00 (IF we're lucky).

So now both of our cars are up for repo within the next couple of weeks and we can't get a car until our bankruptcy goes through. A) we need a car for him to get back and forth to work and B) we have a child so if I ever need to take him to a doctors appt etc.

Can anyone help us on getting a car. We don't care what it is, we just need one.

Thank you and God Bless!

I know that there are so many people just like me. How many people do you know that get on the internet to find someone that they can help? I think is is more like us looking for help. Yes  we all think if we had money we would help others but would we? I know God leads people to help others and most of us are on here in desparate need. I have faith that God will help those that truly need help. I know that if I get the help I need wether I get it here or through other ways, I will give him the credit. It says in the Bible not to worry about tomorrow that God knows what we NEED and that he will provide. I pray that we get what we need and help others when we have the ablity to return the blessing. I wouldlike to hear from people that have been blessed by this site.

I am a mother of 3, twins 12yrs, and a grown son who is 26. My family is going through some very tough times right now. I work about 35 hrs a week at a very strenuous job. I suffer with fibromyalgia, arthuritis,asthma, and hypothyroidism. My husband who usually works as a traveling trademans is suffering from depression which is getting worse. He cant work because he doesnt have the funds to locate out of state for work. Which costs about 800, for room, food, and gas for 2 weeks until his first pay. His truck is in Southern Ohio where it broke down 2 months ago, its fixed and sitting at a service station waiting for us to pick it up. My car is broken down with transmission problems. We have a cheap older model truck we are using to get around town. But I cant drive it because it is a stick. We have to move at the end of the month because we cant afford the rent. The family will have to split up to various family and friends homes, hopefully temporary. Thats the part that makes me cry, I've never been apart from my children. We have posted handyman helper ads on various web sites for my husband, but there are so many of them, you are lucky if you are chosen. We even tried selling some of our things, but that isnt working out either. It seems as though everything is falling apart. Please pray for us, I dont know how long I can bare this on going downfall.

My Husband has decided to leave us, but he will wait until the end of this month (July) so that he doesn't have to pay a sitter to watch our children (two of which are from his first marriage and I will be having to say an unfortunate good-bye to). I have been a stay at home mom for six years and he is leaving me with nothing a small warning (because I caught some personal ads.), and he will wait until my van is fixed so he won't feel so guilty about me being unable to work and save due to having only one working vehicle for the past 8 months. He wasn't even going to give me this much notice, but he was caught. At least God let me have the guts to confront him (and drag out the truth), so I wouldn't be completely left high and dry. I do not get any money to spent from him, other than on bills and groceries and I believe that is going to change too. If there is any help financial or otherwise that you can give me, I would really appreciate it. I may not have internet access after this month. my email and paypal address is Kates_Melody@hotmail.com I have also started selling Avon recently, so if you don't have a rep and would buy from me, that would help as well my website is www.youravon.com/kroberson . I would still like to be a large part of my kids lives, this is going to be hard enough as it is on them without having to say good-bye to mommy most of the time too. If you can do something to help, even if only to pray, I appreciate it all and I thank you all in advance.

I have had a busy day with trying to get ready for my son's birthday tomorrow and then my son called me from school to let me know that he was not feeling good. He has been having severe pains in his stomach and back. We believe it is either Sickle Cell Anemia or gall stones. Either way, I am really scared. Please pray for him. The landlord (the wolf) is still knocking on the door and I don't have anything to give him. How is everyone else? I think about others on here constantly. God Bless You.

Im begging God to hear me now on this one: I need prayer, I always need prayer. For once in my life I want this to be the last time I have to beg for help! It's always something. Always. Rather its abuse or fianicial its always something, and it always seems to be in a way that I have no control of the situation. I know i should put it in Gods hands but how can i when, its hard to even get in my hand.  I know, I know, Your strong, youve been through so much, you can make it! What if... what if I dont wanna make it anymore, what if I cant find the silver linging anymore. IM NOT STRONG enough anymore, I cant do it by myself like this anymore. Im sorry but i cant, well maybe i can eventually but I dont Want to. Why? When all I do is live to work so I can barley live? I dont wanna do it anymore. It's become so pointless, and im trying so hard! I really am, Im tryin so hard I spend about 2hrs a day with my kids at home, what kind of mom does that make me. And when they beg and Cry for me to spend more time what do i say, I will, I will Baby, Mommy just needs to take more time, Mommy has to pay the bills or we wont have a home to come to. And he tells me he doesnt care and he rather be homeless again, because now mommy is always gone and cant spend time with them anymore. My whole reason for living and doing what I do is for my kids and now, its like they're suffering , because MOMMY"S GOTTA PAY THE BILLS..........
