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 28 years old, the single mother of two beautiful daughters age 3 & 8. I am currently attending college here going for my Major in Computer Information Systems, with a Minor in Business. Life is a struggle, but I keep going for my kids. I know that if I keep doing what I'm doing now, their lives will be so much better because of it.

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.

Hello my name is Micki. Iam a single mother of two beautiful little boys, Braxton 8 yrs old & Aiden 3yrs old. A little over two yrs ago my son moved to NY with his father. I have court ordered visitation in the summer and on holidays. His father is going against the order and wont let my son come home. He hasn't been home in a year. This is killing us. Im under so much presure because my son made me promis that his little brother and I would move to Long sland N.Y. as soon as we could .There are no words to tell you what this has been like for my family, my three yr old starves himself for wks at a time when his brother left, and each time after he visits the same, and thats just the begaining of what we go through. It's been two yrs and we are no closer to moveing. I don't have the funds to move , don't know how to find a three bedroom home for my children and I there , not to mention finding a job there that will afford us to live. I can not afford legal councel at all, so I am unable to file comtemt charges against his father..... My son has some special needs, he has "CAPD" hearing difficulty, and "ADHD", also has an inoppreible "aracnoid cyst", in his brain that was descovered right befor he left to live with his father. I know nothing about my sons medical wellbeing now that he is there , I know nothing about his education now that he's there, and it was ordered that his father provide me with that info. His father never met "his" son untill he was almost three, and that was because we went to NY to make him meet him. ONLY after that did he imedietly file for custody of my son .We fought for over two yrs. untill I ran out of money, Im still paying that off. Please befor you assume I wasn't proven "unfit" , that law doesn't apply to Oklahoma. Just "best interest" = IE", who has more money. What I need is help someway to get there, (N.Y.) money, job, home. ASAP". Thank you for anything you can do. I'm not looking for a hand out, not looking for a new life , my sons needs me and we need him. What has happend is wrong and I can't let this go on till he is 18 . I will do anything to get back in my little boys life. If there is any thing I can do for you in return please don't hesitate to ask. P.S. I miss him so very much.....please, please help us!!!

In the year 2000 the Raymond-Hawkinson family was established. We bound our relationship with the purchase of land and a home. In 2003 we sacrificed what we had to try to save the lives of our beloved pets who were cruelly poisoned in their own yard by illegal area hunters. We lost our car which resulted in the loss of a job, then electricity/water and eventually our home and land.

We do not regret our decision to try to save the lives of our pets.

We discovered what our family truly wanted when we had to move out of our new house and live on the 2 acres of land we had. We learned how to build tipi's, we learned how to cook over open fire, how to use dehydrated foods, rely on the sun to warm our tipi and to heat water for bathing. We had to lug our own water so we also learned a lot about water conversation and recycling. We had no septic system to use, we had to learn safe methods of waste treatment. Had the house and land not been tied up in the same mortgage we could have let the house go without batting an eye. We had found something far more stable...but the land went with the house.

That experience while so many see it as heartbreaking really wasn't. We found that we had more when we had less. Now that we have modern housing that must be powered up and hooked up to water/sewer and we rely on grocery stores and the gas to get there...we are paying far more and have far less than what we had while relying on the earth.

Our family goal is to make our income count. If we could only get a piece of land and build unconventional shelters, grow our own much healthier food and use what nature offers to us we could be doing better in life.

We wish to build our shelter to compliment the abilities of our disabled family members and not be forced into paying expensive rents for adapted rentals or have to live with my mom the rest of my days which would include paying to have her house adapted.

If you can help us get started...we can do the rest. All we need is a piece of land in an unrestricted area.

We accept donations through Microgiving.  Microgiving requires proof of identity, income and need so you can feel confident that our family has met the requirements for a real and honest request for assistance.  You can visit our profile and donate if you are able by visiting this link: Homeward Bound

18 year old mother to be & family need help paying bills & getting stuff for baby, REALLY need help!

I'm 18 & I'm 7 months pregnant, I live w/ my mom, 2 brothers, & my sister...the only one working is my sis, working at McDonalds only getting like $400, $500 a month if we are lucky, & we unfortunatley live in a small/crappy town w/ no opprotunity & no help & are struggling.  We have to pay outragious electric bills that are $300-$600 a month, which is so hard, especially when we don't have it...we have to scrape & scramble each month in fear that we will lose power, it's especially scary now, it being so hot...the thought of not having power, no way to escape this awful/deadly heat...it's especially hard on me, being pregnant...our ac is already out as it is, & I am sure I would have been dead by now if it wasn't for me having a fan to cool off a bit, which some days it doesn't do much, the heat is just so overwhelming.  Yea, our ac is also out, every 2 weeks we always have bills to pay, food to buy n stuff...we never have any money left over to take care of these problems.  Also, our truck, the only source of transportation is breaking down.  If we lose our truck, the thought of it is just too scary/frightening to think about...how my sis would lose her job, we wouldn't be able to buy food or anything...we would surley die off.  Also, my baby will be here in the next 2 months or so, & I barley have anything for him.  It is really depressing for me that I wont be able to have anything for my child, the way things look...I wont be able to get a car seat so I can take my baby home!  So as you can see, we are truly struggling, my dad left in September/October last year...& things have been down hill...awful ever since.  We have went weeks w/out power b4 cuz we couldn't pay the bill(thank God it was cooler then & it wasn't as rough, now losing power is life threatening), we go most weeks pratically starving(still now even, & it scares me cuz of my baby...not being able to give my baby what it needs to grow, I so so don't want to lose him).  So please, if anyone out there has a heart, compassion for a family who is indeed really strugling/needs help really bad...please, let me kno.  Any kind of money you can spare, baby stuff you can spare...please...PLEASE, help us! You can send me a message at wicked_monkey_jester1722@yahoo.com  God bless...

My name is Dina Rae I am 25 years old and I was preganant when I got behind on my bills and I got my car repossessed because I couldnt work at the time,because of early contractions and was forced to stay home. Im a single mother.  After I had my baby I had a hard time trying to stand up and get out of bed and I later found out that I have severe Rheummatoid Arthritis. Im still behind on all my bills around 4,900.00.  Its been 2 years and I have lost my home and car.  My credit is totally ruined.  It is good I have family to stay with for the time being.  I have so much pain and havent been able to work.  I have no job and no hope what so ever. Ive been going to free counseling for depression.  I tried to get on SSI and have been denied, but I will try again after I get more X-Rays done.  If anyone could help me it would be greatly appreciated.  Me and my daughter Evangelise Lorelei would be so happy.  I struggle just trying to get pampers for her every month.  Her father has been abscent since she was 4 months old.  I know you cant really expect for some kind of miracle to happen and I dont know how this is going to work out for me but oh well I will try anyways.  I also find that talking about things helps alot too.
