Hello, my name is Ranina and i am 17 years old. I live in a three bedroomed house with my mum, my ste-dad, my 2 sisters and my 2 step-brothers. I am currently in college and all of my brothers and sisters attend school. My mum cannot work, as she has bipolar disorder. And my step-dad has a job, but he i only on minimum wage, and gets ill alot with bronchitis, and so has to take time of work sometimes. Me and my siblings help around the house, becuase my mum cant do a lot, her tablets make her sleep all the time. a lot of the time, we struglle for money. Our car has just broken and that is gong to costs a lot of money that we do not have. Quite often we have little food, and have to make it last until we next get paid. One of my sisters, and me, are in hospital a lot with various things, and this makes my parents stressed, and also uses a lot of diesel.

All of these problems are causing my family to fall apart, we always argue about things, like using lights when it is not properly dark, because it wastes electricity, or having nothing to eat. My mum gets very upset and we cannot cope. I have recently been diagnosed with depression.

I am asking, if any one will bless my family, and offer to give us a bit of money, just as much as you can or want to, im not going to give you an amount, i feel that is your choice. I just ask this one thing in the hope that it will make life a little better for us, even if its only for a little while.

Thank you very much

God bless xxxx

I work full time at a law firm and my husband is home alone. He can barely get around. The disease he has is distroying all the muscles in hes arme and legs. He also has no use of his hands or fingers. I now have to work full time, take care of my husband, do all the cleaning, laundry, cooking, home repars, car repairs, painting, yard work and ect. My husband can do nothing any more. I get totally exhausted, physically and mentally. I am trying my best to keep him home, I do not want to put him in a personal care home. If my bathroom was updated this would be the best help I could ask for. I am looking for some type of Federal or State grants or low interest funding and have no idea where to search.

Single parent wanting to go back to school with limited resources.  I have already maxed out my federal financial aid. Have many business ideas and adventures want to accomplish but lacking the knowledge - ex. how to set up a web page. Have done research online but info becomes overwhelming. Needing to find a way out of this restricting life just not sure how.  Work, child and daily up keep like cleaning and bills leave me with nothing left at night except exhaustion.

Hi Kris here from South San Francisco, 43 and a mother of one, she is 21 and is in college, I am a Medical Assistant who has been injured on the job over a year ago now and have been waiting for surgery on my shoulder for months now but due the fact that Workers Comp denied my claim I am in the middle of Appealing my case, The stress that this brings with it is overwhelming at times. Compounded by being in pain while dealing with this matter is no help. And since this is all that has been consuming my days and nights (sleepless nights) Life as I once knew has been altered to the point it is not mine any longer.

I need help looking for a Dentist who will do a Crown Re-Cement for Free Fast.

I AM A SINGLE MOTHER OF THREE WHO STRUGGLES FROM PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK.  I HAVE A LOW CREDIT SCORE SO NO BANK WILL HELP ME.  I USUALLY MAKE ENDS MEET BUT WHEN EVEN A SIMPLE PROBLEM OCCURS THINGS ARE A MESS

Single parent of a 8 yr old who desperatly wnat to go back to school.  I already have exhausted my resources on federal financial aid and loans that are in forberance.I have been searching online and can not tell the difference between gimick and real grant websites - HELP.

My name is Jessica Renee Daniel and I am currently going to be a student at CSU to study animal science.  I know this may seem a little strange that I am writing you, but to me this seemed like it may have an impact on how my life will be.  I am a hardworker and I work two jobs right now, pulling doubles almost everynight 7am to 10:30 pm and I am saving money to help pay for my future life in Colorado.  Its a big jump for me and financially it seems impossible.  I help my family out a lot and I always give to others, but I never really seem to get anything in return.  Ive worked so hard to come as far as I have with always making honor roll, working and participating in athletics such as softball and basketball. All I am asking is for a little help financially.  You may think this is a complete joke, but I give you my honorable word  and if you new me and talked to the ones who do know me, they would tell you the same...that I never give someone my word unless I mean it.  Please if its possible can you help me out..even the smallest amount would help. Please write me back. It would mean a lot to me.
 I am always working hard trying to make money to help my family as well as pay for college.  I am young, smart and determaned, and I never seem to give up hope. All I ask is for some help, and I know you may understand that its hard to struggle, but I will never give up, and I will give it all it takes just to get by. Please help me. This is all I ask. Thank You

I am a single mother that's disabled. Living with friends and relatives. I'm trying to make ends meet monthly but it's getting harder and harder. I'm also dealing with my son having several health problems. I just want a chance to purchase a home for my son and myself so that we no longer have to live with others.

I am a 25 year old wife and mother of 3 beautiful children. I have seeking employment  for months and regardless of how many applications I have put in or interviews I've gone on no one will hire due to my past and the record that now follows me. My husband is in a program called work experience due to disabilities, and will not be getting paid this month because he missed three days last month due to me having surgery and a meeting with our son's therapist for his autism. I really don't know where else ot turn when I have no income. I have already signed up for welfare to keep us above water until I find a job, but that isn't helping , because they aren't giving us anything unless we complete a certain number of hours a month prior to recieving any help. My bills aren't going to stop coming and I can't hardly afford to buy diapers for my sons or put gas in my car, not to mention we are running out of food. I have away to take care of and get everything ,but the money for bills. I am at my wits end and have thought of everything I can do to make this situation better for my kids. I am scared that I am going to lose my home most of all. I am really ashamed of myself because my children didn't ask to be here nor apart of the struggle they are now in. If there is anyone who can help us  in anyway my family willbe forever grateful. I won't sit here and make false promises to repay money, because I don't now when I would/will be able to repay anyone. I just hope someone here will hear my cry and plea for help, and find it in their heart to help us in our time of need. It will be a blessing to our family, and in return our God will pour out an abundance on you and your family for living in the way he wants us to. I may not have the finances necessary to survive in our economy, but there is always someone worst off than I am so I give what I can and thank God for what we do have, which is our health, lfie, love, a real family, and most of all GOD!
