I am a single mother of two boys-ages 3 and 4.  I am currently working as a cena in a nursing home.  My wages do not allow me to pay my rent of $585, and keep the lights on too.  My fiance lost his job do to shortage of work, and we are behind in our rent.  Since we have been such good renters for two years, our landlord has been patient with us up until this point.  We just got custody of my fiance's 10 year old daughter in January of this year because her mother is a meth addict.  We have no where to go if we are evicted, and we are so ashamed and disgusted that we cannot even provide for our own children.  I want to go to school to become an LPN but cannot afford to go part-time at work to attend classes.  My fiance has been looking for work every day that I don't work, but it seems that there is nobody hiring for a certified diesel mechanic.  And just today the brakes went out on our car.  We work so hard, and it seems like as soon as we take one step forward, we fall two steps back.  If we had some financial help to pay off some of our past debts, and catch up on rent and other bills, it could buy us some time until my fiance can find a job.  I can't do it all by myself.  Where is the help out there?

I am in need of financial assistance to secure a home for my family. I need down payment and relocation assistance. I have a job waiting for me in Nevada with much higher income potential than I have here in michigan. My home is in foreclosure, and this is hurting my ability to obtain financing through traditional methods.

My husband and I married nearly 2 years ago. My son had moved here to Missouri with me from Ohio. He had gone back to visit friends, and now wishes to stay there. He is in dire need of his personal belongings (furniture, computer, etc..especially his computer, as he does web designs)so that he may begin a new life, finding a job, starting school and gaining independence.. I need help in assisting him with shipment of these things as we have little money for even groceries. As I said, my husband and I married 2 years ago.in that time he had a quadruple bypass and lost his job and insurance. He and I are both working, but presently he is working 2 jobs. With the extra job, we are spending more in cost to get to work than we have. Essentially, my job pays for his ability to work. However, our only form of transportation is about to phase out.....we have a 96 vehicle that has multiple electrical shorts, lack of a catalitic converter..we need to unhook the battery after we are done driving due to the lights staying on.

My husband and I are good christian people who believe in helping others and ourselves. Unfortunately, monetarily we have not been able to help others but will again when the trials we are facing lifts. We may need to move to another town where his 2nd job is located if that leads to full-time. We had just spent 375.00 last november moving to this small town for better access to both areas. We really wish to help ourselves but are financially strapped and unable to repair our car which is needed to go to work. It is a shame that with his 2 jobs, and my one job, we barely have enough for groceries.....we buy day to to day on what we can afford due to the high cost of gasoline. Any help or suggestions I would appreciate. I have tried all agencies that unfortunately could not help us. Is there anyplace that is willing to help with vehicles, relocation fees, emergency funding..to those that don't qualify for state funding or national organizations? We know that we are in a temporary situation, but if we don't receive some help then we will be in a situation we cannot get free from. Thank you to all who are reading this. May God guide you and strengthen you.

Our family has made leaps and bounds since my last posting.  I am so happy for that fact.  My husband has just recently been offered a promotion at his job and this has forced us to face the reality that we will have to relocate our family.  It has made us realize even more we have no savings whatsoever to even begin to move.  Kyle starts work on the 9th of June in his new location.  We have to move our family before the new school year starts and as long as we have to pay for two households while he is working in the new area we can't save anything for the move.  If anyone knows of a way to help with this move, let me know.  We would love to move as soon as possible.  We just need to find a place in Eugene, Or. area and somehow afford to move the two hours from Bend, Or. to Eugene.  If anyone knows of a house in Eugene that is good for a family of 5, let me know.  We can't afford anything more than $1000 per month and need at lease 3 bedrooms and 2 bath.  Thanks everyone.

After several years of hard work, I am finally graduating with my B.S. this May. I have also been accepted to graduate school, where I have been awarded a full tuition waiver, a paid graduate assistantship, and health insurance. Getting an advanced degree is the only way I can ensure that I will be able to support my children. But, I need help with the expenses of moving 1,000+ miles away. I would appreciate help with truck rental, gas, security deposit on an apartment, etc. I plan to move at the end of June. Please help my family become financially self-sufficient through my graduate education. This is a dream come true for me to be able to attend graduate school.

Dear Reader,

First of all, I would like to say thank you for taking the time to read and consider my needs. 

I am a teacher who is trying to re-enter the work field due to a past illness.  I am a single mom with an 8 year old daughter who is dependent upon me as well for her needs.  I currently live in a small town where there is little opportunity for employment.  I am substitute teaching, however, the days that I am called to work are few. 

I have a couple of bills (total = $1800)that are delinquent and need taken care of.  As well as, I am desperately trying to relocate to a bigger city suburb where there is much more opportunity for teaching - both substituting and permanent positions.  The total I would need to relocate is $2400 to move and cover rent/deposits.  I am positive that I can work there once I get there (many internet ads and job postings)... but I need help getting there.

Please... any help that you could give to my daughter and I would be GREATLY appreciated!

I can be contacted by email:  rhea625@gmail.com

Thank you so much,

Rhea
