ADVANCING HOPE

Scholarships are FREE

Most people going to college get one scholarship and then apply for a student loan to cover the rest of their educational expensis.   This is OK, but student loans have to be paid back.  They cannot be forgiven even with Bankruptcy.  The only way out of a student loan is by dying or becoming so disabled that you can not work.

But there is no need to get a student loan.  You can get as many scholarships as you want to pay for your schooling.  There is no limit on how many you can have.  And you can get grants to pay for all the rest.  All it takes is a little effort on your part to hunt down and apply for these scholarships and grants. 

Go to www.yourgrant.com/scholarship.htm and check it out.  With a little effort and study on your part, you could go to college FREE.

I am here because I am a young, smart, dedicated mother of 2 very smart loving kids. I have come to a point in my life where the man that I trusted with our lives just decided to leave us with nothing. It is sad because he controlled everything and could care less about me and our kids well being. I have been a stay at home mother and I do not have any unnecessary bills. All I have is rent, utilities, food, car insurance and very little money for anything else. I want to go back to school to make something of myself but there are other things that stand in my way. I need a job but no one here will take a chance on me because I havent worked and I have no experience. I need money for everyday living and it makes it harder when I want to work and go to school and then I need money for a babysitter that I can trust with my kids. I am just so stressed that I cannot provide the things that I need for my kids. I here all the time about people going into debt and well I dont want to do that to myself or my kids. I want to have some stability for themand myself but it seems like I am getting nowhere and well the money that I still have will not last long. I am not sure what I am asking for I just know that I need help. I want to find a job at home but I cant invest the little money that I have. I have sold alot of my things to make more money and well that in itself makes me sad. I just really need something to help me get by. I would really love it if this site is real and well I am not afraid to talk to someone that is real and not looking to add to the stresses that I have. I am just so afraid that my kids will have to see the harsh realities of. I want to give them a roof over there head but I can only afford a few more months and I really dont know what to do. I just dont want them to feel in secure. I want the simple things in life but no one is willing to give me a chance to prove myself to them. Life is hard but it seems to want to keep me down rather than letting me and my family prosper.

 I have a list of things that I "WISH" I could have but then again I am not to lazy to make my wishes come true. I just need some help to be stabel enough to give my kids a home.I live in a small apartment and well to better understand my situation I am pretty much living off of 1500 a month and my rent is more than half that amount. I cant get a deposit for another place and well where I live it is a really reasonable price. My landlord is really nice and understanding but he is also struggling and well with 2 kids and we dont go shopping alot. Me and my kids have all second hand things, we eat canned goods most of the time, and we just spend time together so the good thing is that my kids dont need the fancy things to make them happy. They do want the new things but they know that I cant give it to them because I dont have the money. I would love to give them the nicer things for their birthdays and holidays but I cant sacrifice the money in that way. I am just feel so inadequate at times. I want to give them extra things because they are smart and deserve them but everything is so pricey. We rarely go to mcdonalds and when we go we only get the dollar menu thing and we go where we can get free refills. I mean that is a good thing but to have to explain to my little ones that I cant do more because mommy dont have the resources really makes me depressed. They dont know the things that I have to struggle with and I hope they never know but they see it and ask questions and I have to try and tell them something else that is positive. It becomes torture at times when they see the things that others recieve and how others indulge in the luxuries of life.

I am really looking forward to making a life with my kids but now I am trying to find some grants that I can apply for so that I can go back to school. I am having a hard time getting a job and finding needed help. I would really love it if people could help me financially but that is a dream in it self. I understand that people dont know if I am real or not but all I can say is that I am and if someone is generous enough to help me out they would be doing a great thing. I would be happy with 5 dollars I mean every little bit helps. I have really changed so much in my life to make a honest life with my kids and it hurts me that I cant give them the things that once had. They understand the situation a little but it still sucks for them because they are so young. I want to give them some security but here in hawaii it is quite difficult. I dont know what can help me but I just really dont want to go in to debt so that is why I am asking for help before we have to suffer more with those things. I am a open person and real as can be. I am not lying and well I hope that a decent person is willing to get to know me and my family enough to see that I am not scamming anyone. I really want grants for schools and I just dont know which ones are legit. But if anyone just wants to help me in monetary things that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for reading this and I hope that there are generous people out there that would like to help me and my kids in our time of need. I know there are alot out there and i probaly dont have a really hard story but I just dont want my kids to have to suffer a moment of hardships. Please feel free to respond. Thank you again

I truly love San Francisco for its beauty and nostalgia.

I am trying to find a grant that will pay for training in the field of Medical Transcription . What do I need to look for ?

I will need an additional year of law enforcement experience and to take courses in criminal justice. I need equipment of the trade such as cameras, a computer, and office space to hang my shingle.

I have been blessed by Modestneeds.org

I am looking for information on if there are any government grants to aide in starting a computer trainig business. 

I am here to solicit help for causes that I support that are being carried out by MEDA-USA in rural Cameroon.

I really need help to make a difference.
Anything you can do will be very much appreciated.

I was injured in an accident in 2003 and suffered a Bi-Lateral Traumatic Brain Injury. Prior to this injury I had a career in television and video engineering for 20 years. This brain damage has prevented me from returning to work in this field however I do wish to provide for my family as well as further my education in a new area that will work with my disabilities. I realize that this may mean I have to create a company or position. I am willing to try almost anything.

Thank You

I am a widow of 1 year and have been left to fend for myself (pay my mortagae and living expenses on my own). It is very difficult because my husband had a very good job and we lived well (on top of still dealing with my grief and unused to being alone). Now that is gone and I only have a part-time job and unemployment. I am afraid of losing my home and everything else. So I need to know about grants and scholarships so I can study for a career that will manintain what I have without too much worry.

I'm a single father currently living in Orlando to attend the Motorcycle Mechanics Institute.  While my schooling is paid for, my living expenses are not.  My savings have been completely drained now and I'm looking to get another student loan to cover my needs.  Because of problems from my divorce and a failed business, I don't have sufficient credit.  I'm looking for someone to help, perhaps an angle investor to cosign a loan. 

I am disabled from a traumatic brain injury and am seeking assistance for higher education or training to get back in the work force. I also would be interested in a grant or any way to start a business. I have not been able to go back to my old job for over two years. My brain damage will not permit me to return to my former occupation.

I would like to participate in a tuition reimbursement program and traineeship / job as a student adult nurse practitioner.  I am in my last 2 semesters at Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA and am concentrating on my clinical rotations at this time.  I can even consider tuition reimbursement after I have graduated.

Well its been a long spiral into hell. In the last 6 years I have lost my parents and a sister. I have lost a great job, and my health. Now I owe so much money, not a massive amount, but enough to put me into the street in days. A little to everyone. I can't even file the papaerwork for income taxes in time, I owe that will lead to a whole new world of hurt and despair. I feel terribly hopeless and very depressed. I can't seem to get an even break. I don't know what else to do or where to turn.There's not much light in my life and I'm beginning to feel like I just want it all to end. I am tired of this financial torture. I am spent trying to make it just to survive. No one seems to think I'm worthy of help to stay alive. I have nothing left. No where to go. Nothing to eat. No where to live very soon. The last thing before my life that I'm willing to give up is my only friend, my dog. If need be we will die together.

I feel like I'm hanging by a thread.

So if anyone can help with a roof over our heads and some assistance to get out of hell, and back to the land of the living, I would be forever grateful.

Never mind, it's not like there is really anyone who cares out there. I'm done trying to get by and just survive. Its appalling that this can happen in this country. I'm have worked all my life and now that I can't I deserve to die, well I fucking guess so! We are homeless now and I am not going to live in my compact car for long, and as soon as I get my painkiller prescription refilled, me and my dog bid you farewell. We will be together in pergatory forever I fucking guess eh fucking GOD!!!Fuck you GOD! We are outta here for good. This site is usless, thanks Canada, thanks for nothing.

I need help with finances. I have arthritis and lupus and am deaf and had to leave my job.I am a single mom supporting my daughter as well as my disabled mom and disabled sister and I get no child support.

Thank you so much for your consideration,

UPDATE: I was thinking last nite I needed to be proactive in my own life. I feel like things are just "dead in the water", so to speak. I contacted Voc Rehab, who got me my hearing aids, cuz they said they would help me learn ASL (American Sign Language) too and were supposed to let me know something "soon"...well its been months and months, so I contacted them via email (its Sunday) but have gone one step further and contacted my local community college and enrolled in the ASL training program and I have found I qualify for financial aid and can get my courses free just based on my lack of income, so thats good news. Not so good news is its mid-session now, the courses I need are not offered over summer and that means I have to wait until fall term to get this moving....soooo again, not one to be discouraged, I have emailed the director of the program and asked her if there is anyway I can come "sit in" on any classes or some way to get private instruction so that I can do this sooner...like yesterday. So I am encouraged about this one thing in my life....      I was also thinking that if I go back to school, I still have all these crazy insane amount of credit card bills, medical bills, loans, etc who are knocking down my door....and in fact trying to kick me out of my door, since the house payment is 3 months behind so I checked with welfare....UGH I dunno where all those rumors and myths about folks sitting around "getting rich" off welfare came from....it may happen somewhere, but it aint happening in Mississippi thats for dang sure. On the TANF program, a needy person gets $110 for the first person and then $36 for the 2nd person and $24 for each additional person after that. So for myself and my daughter, we'd get a whopping $146 a month to live on....Im  very very discouraged on this point, because I was hoping that I could go back to school and finish my degree (ASL interpreting) and that would allow me to get a good job. BUT while Im in school full time, I was thinking maybe TANF would be enough to just "get by" and keep the bill collectors at bay until I was able to pay them myself....so much for that plan. Now Im at a loss for my next step.  I have a partial plan for school, but it does not help me keep myself out of jail for defaulting on these loans and it does not keep my utilities on or the house from being reposessed....

Any ideas, help, suggestions, loans, donations, thoughts & prayers, anything is appreciated

Im not even sure what this site is for other than just having people out there who know what im going through. I have spent the last few years wondering if im going to be able to hang on. Im an adult survivor of child abuse and sexual abuse. For most of my life I have been able to maintain, but recently I feel like im comming apart. Im sure most of it is related to the fact that my life latley is so out of control. The economy is so bad right now that the stress level's have reached an all time high. I know im not the only one out here suffering, I just feel like I am.  I was diagnosed with Post Tramatic Stress Syndrome, re-occuring depression, Severe Panic and Anxiety. So with all this going on the lack of money isn't helping. I know what I need to do, and I want to be able to do it, I just cant. And I know what your thinking not with that attitude, but I used to have a great attitude, I just lost it somewhere down the road. My husband is Disabled with a bad Back and Knee, It makes it hard because we are trying to maintain a house and raise 3 kids on his disability pay and it just doesnt work.. I've tried everything. I have tried to work and tried to go to school but I just cant finish anything. I start out great and then fizzle. It gets so bad I get so over whelmed I cant continue I start getting panic attacks and then im done. If anyone can offer suggestions Im open. Anything.

until then Im still hanging in there.

I need a buisness loan of grant to start a business that aids disabled people train and work.

Volunteer Healthcare provider is providing training free of charge to addiction counselors in China and other under-served countries at own expense.

Please help fund this very important work! It helps to save lives and prevent the spread of HIV and addiction to other parts of the world!

This volunteer work helps new counselors learn how to teach substance use counseling and develop treatment programs. Addiction professionals are the lowest paid health care professionals and receive no compensation while away from their workplace teaching other medical and health professionals. This causes great hardship to my own family.

My expenses include airfare from Chicago to Shanghai ($2600) and hotel and meals while I am teaching at my own expense.  I live very frugally but I do not make any vacation pay (or anything else) while I am away which is very difficult and costly.   I volunteer my services a great deal in the U.S. as well which is an additional financial burden however I feel it is important work and therefore someone must be willing to do it.

The training is provided at the volunteers own cost. There is no ability for the students in China to reimburse the volunteers for their time or expertise (communist country). Please consider donating to help cover the cost of our time, travel expenses and housing while in Shanghai, Beijing and other underserved areas. Goal is reduction of the spread of HIV. Grant funding is not available for these trips any longer.
