Single Dad, Hard Working, Raising two boys and trying to do all the right things !!!

The youngest of 9 children. I have always been the responsible one, the one everyone turns to for answers and assistance. However, this is not recipricated.

I have always been there to support my family, but I don't get much support from them.

I always say that my life should be a soap opera, as if anyone has bad luck it is me.

I love to visit with my great nieces and nephews and watch them grow. I is a rule in my family that you can not be taller than Aunt Mary until you are 10!

I am an African American Male residing in North Carlins Goldsboro.  I have 4 children.  Married once but to be married again soon.  Attended college for the arts in filmaking and screenwriting which is my life time dream.  Have loved movies and knew what I wanted to do at 13 now want to make my own.  My children,  fiance' and dream are all I have at 30. 

Hi,

My name is Maria I'm a 31 year old single mother of an adorable 2.5 year old toddler Raphael (Rafi). My son and I have just moved to Boston MA in November of 2007 from upstate NY, where I acquired a BS in Information Technology from one of the most highly respected technical institutes on the East Coast. Up until 3 months ago, I have had a successful career as an IT professional, with over 11 years of experience with one of the major software companies in US and worldwide.
Unfortunately, as of March 2007, all that came to a crashing halt when I lost my job and consequently, any financial stability. Thus far, I have not been able to replace my income, even though I have been very active in my job search. As a result, we are about to get evicted from the apartment we live in on June 28th, 2007 unless I'm able to come up with a full amount of rent ($1725/month). I currently owe for June and July of 2007. Additonally, I'm unable to pay for my son's daycare ($312/week) and any of my bills (currently running about $1500 because of being 3 months past due). Consequently, several of my creditors have filed for collections, which is greatly impacting my credit and thus my ability to rent anywhere.

Should I get evicted and lose my apartment, I'm also at a very high risk of losing the custody of my son, since the ability to maitain residence and employment are some of the conditions based up my custody court order is compiled.

I have no savings since I spent all of my earnings on attorney's fees during a 2 year long custody proceedings which have finally concluded in February 2007, and attempting to pay for rent, daycare and bills since I lost employment.

I am a highly responsible individual and up until 3 months ago have always been able to repay all of my debts.
I will repay anyone who is kind enough to help me, as soon as I'm able to secure employment, even with interest if you so desire.

ANYTHING YOU CAN HELP US WITH IS GREATLY APPRECIATED, EVEN IF IT'S JUST A PRAYER FOR MY SON AND I. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR KINDNESS.

Sincerely,
~ Maria and Raphael

Hey Everyone ! I'm Beth from Cocoa Beach Florida. I'm 29 yrs old, full time student at Florida Metropolitan University . When I'm not at school, I'm busy raising a 6 yr old daughter with Autism, and I do it all alone.

I am a 24 year old Latina.  I come from a small immediate family, My mother (who passed away in May 2003), my father and an older sister.  My parents were divorced since I was 4 years old and my mother was raising us mainly on her own until the day she passed.

I love helping people, my goal in life is to open up an after school program for children and teens to help prevent them them from doing follish things.  As I see, these are the ones that will be running the USA in the future and therefore preparing them to make the right decisions is necessary at an early age. This is my long term goal.

I grew up in a small town in Arkansas where I graduated high school with a full paid tuition scholarship to a local university where I graduated with a Bachelor's degree.  My parents went through a divorce when my sister and I were 12 (I have a twin!), so my mother supported us financially until our high school graduation when I had to move on my own.  I am glad that I have lived on my own and supported myself because it gave me a sense of responsibility and pride.  It has also molded me into a hard-working, driven individual who sets goals and does everything possible to meet those goals.  I want to continue my education to help others.  I have a vested interest in this field (Clinical Nutrition) because of numerous family members with Diabetes and other diseases that nutrition can aid.  Through my current job position, I see the power of nutrition and exercise and the impact that it can have on health status of many individuals across the United States.  I am truly interested in this and look forward to the day that I can say that I helped save someone's life or changed their health status in a positive manner. 

I am aretired millwright from NY, besides spending 20 yrs in the trade, I can stick, mig and tig weld

   Know about rigging and procedures,sling, wire rope etc

I have excellent job skills and experience, but my appearance (no front teeth) is preventing me from getting a job.  For example:  There is an opening for a job at your company.  You have interviewed many applicants and you have narrowed qualified applicants down to two people.  Both are equally qualified and both have excellent references and pleasant personalities.  However, one of the applicants is missing her front teeth.  Since the job requires dealing with the public on a daily basis, which applicant would you choose???

Not too hard to see how the story will end. 

That is where I am.  And I have been unable to find a job that pays well enough to allow me to save enough money to fix my teeth because of my appearance.

Greetings,

While I'd prefer to keep my name private until more personal contact between us is established, I will provide all other relevant details of my life.  I am a senior undergraduate student at Duke University, and I am going to school on financial aid.  Up until this semester I have been working 30+ hours a week and trying to finish a pre-med curriculum, but I have found now that I am trying to study for my MCAT I have no time to work, and no time to make money. The money I make goes towards rent and living expenses, and I am afraid that at this rate I won't be able to make payments.

 I would like to be able to secure a personal loan of 2000 dollars to pay back between April and May of this year - I will be taking the MCAT in March and 2000 would help with rent, utilities, and food for the next two months.  In a way I am asking for a stipend and will be indebted to anyone who comes forward.

Best,

D
