My name is Michele
I am a 44 year old single mother working full-time. I left my job of 14 years 8 months ago. In 2001 I went back to school and earned my Associate's degree in Computerized Information Processing. I now have a job as a wolesale lockbox processor. I was a sales associate in layaway for Walmart until they closed it down. I like my job. I work Friday-- Monday and off three days a week. Two of my children have left home. One of them is married with a son and recently bought a home in Florida. She has a Bachelor's degree in Communications. She has her Barbers liscence and works as a cosmotologist. My middle child lives out of the house and has 2 children of her own and is a cosmotologist. My younges is fifteen and lives with me.


When I decided to purchase my home, my main concern was keeping my children out of public housing. I had no clue it would be this hard to maintain it. I am now considering selling my home and finding somewhere to rent because I can not afford to maintain my home. My house is not a home to me, it's just a house because I can't afford to maintain it. I still have problems with my home inside and out. What help is out there for the people in the grey area like me?


Sincere Thanks,
Michele

I like to do volunteer work and help with children that lack basic needs.  I love children, but have none of my own.  I have helped out several single parent familes around the holidays for the past few years.  I've found that some families need ongoing help all year and not just at the holiday season.  I have been a public school employee for 22 years, and serve on a local church board.  I prefer to help someone directly without going through an organization.  I've done volunteer work before for organizations and was surprised at how much of the donated funding was spent on administrative expenses, and how little went to the recipients.   I really like the concept of Aidpage.

I am single black female. I am a mother of two beautiful children.  My son is thirteen years old and my daughter is eleven.  I just relocated to Georgia from Tennesse last August.  I have been working on advancing my career in nursing since 2003 after the tragic death of my father.

My goal was to be a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner or Pediatric Nurse Practitioner, since I have been specializing in pediatrics upon graduating from LPN school in 1996. But I have such strong interests in doing Legal Nurse Consulting at this time.

I really want to have my own business one day doing something in Nursing.  What its going to be, I don't know.  But, I love what I am doing professionally.  I have not regretted the decision I have made as a career.

Taking care of people makes me feel good inside.  I like to treat all my clients as if they are my family, 'cause if I do....then, I know I can never go wrong and that I am giving them the best of care.

Nursing to me is all about Love for your neighbor.  That's God's greatest commandment!

I am not used to asking for help but have decided that if there is real help out there this is the time to get it. My 71 year old mother also lives with me.

Comment: My name is Charlisse Green....
Note: This aidpage was started as a comment on "Christmas for Kids"

My name is Charlisse Green. The reason that I am writing to you is because when I was nine years old, I had an accident on my bicycle. I rode down a hill, fell and broke my jaw and teeth. The doctor told m mom that he would help her to fix everything, but they didn’t fix it right. I really need your help to get my mouth fixed so that I can begin to talk right again and to look normal. The main reason that I need your help is because I am tired of people talking about me and my mouth. They hurt my feelings, but I don’t say anything to them anymore. I just try to keep going. Now, I am 17 years old. My mother asked me if I had any friends at school and I told her that I have ‘someone to talk to’. I say that because one minute, they are my friend, and the next, they talk behind my back, calling me names and picking at the way I talk and look. When I talk, it sounds like I am deaf because of the way that my mouth is. As a result, I have been placed in special classes at school. I have faith that you will help me. Some of the things that you do make me cry because they touch my heart. I am praying that you will be able to make my wish come true because I am tired of people talking about me everyday. When I look in the mirror, I see who I am, but no one else can see the real me. They talk about me everyday. Not one day, but EVERY day. So, I decided to write on my own, hoping that you and your staff will find it in your hearts to help me. If you only knew how I feel, I know that you will help me. People say that I am ugly. Sometimes, I don’t care what they say because I know that someday, I will be somebody that I can be proud of, and will make my mother proud. Thank you now for what I hope that you will be able to do for me in the future. With all my heart, Charlisse Greene

mom needs help

I am a single mom to a 6year old and a soon to be 3year old. I am working and attempting to go to school. I say attemptig because it is very challenging. Its hard to balance work, school, and kids. Work is important because you need money to live, school because I am trying to improve myself-career wise, and kids are always number one.  I do not get help from dad, he is not around. I left him while I was carrying second child.  It is hard when you are the only one. I am pulled in many directions. 

grants or scholarships

    I am looking for any money I can get to help me pay for a private medical collage in salem, Oregon. I'm a single mother, with three children, and the program is Medical Assistant. I'm only interested in money I wont have to pay back.

in december i heard about aidpage.com. i was living with my brother at the time ( 19 and 18 years old), but because of winter both our hours at our jobs were cut in half. we were making it but barely. so i decided to nievely post my situation on aidpage. a few days later i was contacted by a pastor who never got back to me, and a man named Sean Yanti. he explained his backround and hard life growing up, and he said he had been through what i was going through now, but now God has blessed him and he would like to bless others. he sent me a check for $4000, but i was to take $500 for myself, and wire the rest through western union to another "very needy" person. seeing as he was not asking me to send my money  but his, i thought nothing was wrong, so i did. i cashed the check through my bank and sent the $3500 off. he then told me he was sending another check to help me, but he wanted me to take out a small amount and send the rest. i asked why he didnt send the money himself to her, but he said it was not on his level and he would if he could and he was very sorry. once again i thought ok its his money. before i got the 2nd check, my bank called me telling me it was a fake check and i would have to pay the bank the $4000 back. i told sean this still thinking he was a good man and it was a mistake; he said to cash the second check and use it for my bank. b4 i did though i called the bank the 2nd check was from, for $4000 also, and it was fake. i didnt hear from him again. i know your thinkng how niave and stupid i must be, but i am only 19 years old and didnt know. i thought if he asked me to send my money that was fraud, but it was his. because of this, i have been unable to pay any bills including rent, so i have been evicted out of my home and no place wll rent to me, my car was taken away because i could not make payments,my phone was turned off, and i have been fired from my job because i have been unable to get there. i am pregnant and have no resources, i am unable to get a loan because this really screwed up my credit. this man really messed me up. anyway his name is Sean Yanti, and he has broken english.

 

 

so now i have no home, no car, no job, nothing. i am in major debt and i just keep falling. i am asking for some help -  i am 5 months pregnant and now no one will hire me  becuase of training and then i will have to leave after the baby is born. i can slowly repay what is given, but i just need to get back on my feet, find a place to live for me and the baby and a car.
