Hi Fellow Helpers,

I'm uncertain how this site works, so if I make a mistake or make a wrong request, please let me know. I'm a little shy about putting up a picture of my face - so I put this one up instead. It is embarassing to have these sorts of financial and physical problems and putting up my picture for all the world to see at the same time.

My reason for being here:
To seek help in finally securing my own place to live, here in the USA, in the state of Missouri. I don't care if my house is super tiny - but I want something that is all mine.

How much total money will it take?
$30,000 for a very small house, on a tiny piece of land. (taxes are more affordable on a small house!) But any amount would help me get there - even $1 would be a step in the right direction.

How do I know this enough money?
I know Missouri well and really like it there. An added bonus is that I have a few friends there already, so I won't be totally alone.  When I visited there, I checked out pricing to make sure this would work out. I came up with 2 ways of making the money stretch far enough:
  • (BEST Option 1) There are always about a dozen small older houses for sale in this price range (fixer-uppers, older neighborhoods) in a couple towns there. This would give me the most living space for the money - although it would need some repairs for that price
  • (Other Option 2)   If necessary I will consider buying a used trailer home and buying a piece of land to put it on. I'm a bit concerned about the safety of this sort of home especially in that tornado prone region. Plus, friends of my boyfriend bought a used trailer, and they spent twice as much on repairs to make it safe ... so I'm not excited about this option - but it would be better than nothing if all else fails.

About me:
I am a small woman with Fibromyalgia - which is a disease which is not cure-able. If you don't know what it is: imagine feeling pains like when you have the flu - muscles and joints are sore almost all the time - those pains are a daily experience with fibromyalgia ....  migraines come frequently, serious stomach problems occur frequently, sleep disorders cause such poor sleep that you really almost never get good rest, and light and sound are almost unbearable in the mornings. Fibro also causes my muscles to twitch and spasm. The fibromyalgia also makes me extremely sensitive to products and medicines - which can give me hives, excema (sp?) and rashes. Serious depression is common among sufferers of Fibromyalgia - and I'm no exception to that. (Mornings are the worst for all of my symptoms! - things can lighten up in the afternoon if I take it easy) I'm working very hard to control all my symptoms and am showing big improvement compared to last year.

Due to my illness, and an injury that I sustained 6 years ago (back injury from accident - finally healed that!) I ended up living with my relatives. I had to get rid of almost all of my possessions and my beloved pets and horse. This is a highly painful living arrangement due to the emotional and verbal abuse I endured here as a child, and continue to endure now that I'm back in my relatives daily lives. It is unbearable not being able to have pets in this house. I know that sounds small - but I feel I'm dying of loneliness here.

How am I trying to fix this:
Before I got hurt and ill -  I had started my own graphic design business. I designed product catalogs, did photography, and designed web sites for small businesses. I was making enough to get by. Then 6 years ago I suffered injury and illness. NOW, I am restarting my efforts of working and getting clients - but focussing on web design only. (I really can't afford all the equipment and software to do everything else right now to do photography and product catalogs anymore - so web design is enough for me right now). I am contacting businesses and trying to secure them as clients. Working for myself is the only option for employment - because of my illness. I am ill so often that any employer would be frustrated with me having to call in sick too often. But by working for myself, if I need a break because of illness, I take one - and then get back to work later the same day or night.  It is slow going - but I know I can eventually get there. But .....

Here's a problem:
I am having a very hard time fighting the depression and dealing with the extremely abusive situation I am living in. If I could get into my own home, I could work so much better, I could feel healthier, and have a life instead of feeling hopeless and alone.

Can you help me?
Any amount of money (even $1), or ideas, or you could hire me to design for you, would be so appreciated.  I plan to put all money into a savings account until I get enough to get my house. Can I do it before the end of 2007?

Thanks for listening.

PS: If you would want to hire me to develop a web site - that would be wonderful!

I am a Pastor of my own church for 4 years now. I currently run the prison ministry outreach for my church. I am married 19 years this July. Two grown children(almost) and I love my church and Jesus.

 

Arkyfaith Church was conceived by the vision of Pastor Deborah M. Bailey to help lost souls find the true path to Christ, by having many outreach programs available. The church was open for operation in February 2004. Since that time it has became an outreach portal in the following areas:

Shut – INS
Youth groups
Prison Ministry
Mentoring program
Bible study by mail
Caring card ministry
Feeding the hungry worldwide
Christmas cards to the troops
Other charitable events

Our current project: Bibles for prisoners

Our plan is to reach prisoners worldwide and offer bibles and bible studies to those who are forgotten by society. Our project also includes our caring card ministry, which is our initial contact with such prisoners. A postcard and gospel tract is mailed to each prisoner. We acquire their names through varies means, prayer requests from loved ones, other churches or non profit organizations that work with prisons worldwide. The status of said prisoner is not of concern, meaning that any prisoner qualifies for our program. Once said prisoner has received his or her care card envelop a postcard already pre stamped and addressed to the church can be returned for our services.

Our problem lies within the means of financial donations which are currently limited and fall well below operating standards.

The purposed amount we are seeking with your particular institution is $1000. Our total yearly cost of this endeavor is estimated at a little over $72,000, especially with the rising costs of stamps and supplies. This amount is sure to double within the next 5 years.

Reaching he lost is our life mission. No one can be spared at any cost.\

Thank you for your generous consideration and time

I am looking for assistance on applying for grants. I am a mentally disabled mother of two. I cannot return to my previous type of employment. I have started an online store of handmade items such as jewelry, knitted accessories, and bath & body products. I would like to open a retail store. Also, due to my medical condition, I have many outstanding medical and other bills that I am unable to pay since my social security barely covers my rent and food. I have found the grant gate application and sent off many letters to agencies that seemed to pertain to my situation. Unfortunatley, none of them where able to assist me. Any information that anyone can give to me will be greatly appreciated. I am completely lost here and unless you purchase a CD from one of the iffy sounding companies, I don't know where else to look. Thank you!

Please help with my Dental Problem

Hi I am 29 years old,and am in a rutt..I have had dental problems for years.I recently went to the dentist and my mouth dropped looking at the bill on how much it was going to cost me to fix my problem. I can not afford this,and called the local human services for help,but could not get it. My health isn't that great from this,and i can not eat very well..I don't want people to feel sorry for me,but i am desperate for help.I have not help from anyone, and this is my last resort.

Please if anyone knows what i can do to resolve this i would appreciate anything,and to have a healthier life.

Star so Bright

Hello

I have no money. I cannot get money. I am kept prisoner in my circumstances. I have been abused all my life by partners. My family has had to move so many times and we have nothing. As a result of the abuse, sexual, physical, mental, I am the nation's poorest. The law was never on my side. I am imprisoned by cruelty beyond words.

I do not do drugs. I do not drink. I always tried to work and pull my weight through all of this horrible life I have been dealt. I dont know the reason for all of this. Perhaps it is my fate. It seems there is a curse on me and my family. We are outcasts. We are poor. We have no home, no roots.

I am not writing a storybook here, a grim fairy tale. These words are fact. If you took my hand for a day, I would show you the life I have. I do know that I dont deserve any of this, for I am a star. Shining bright for all to see...if you would only look toward the sky, you would see me. The poor, the lonely, the outcast. The soul within you and within all of us.

Please help me if you can. I would be grateful to have some money to better my family and myself. I would give anything I had to help my family.

Thank you for reading and thank you for any donations.

I work at a coffee shop that gives full health insurance. However, with all that gets taken out of my paycheck and the amount of money I make I hardly have enough money to go to the doctor and pay the $20 co payment and pay for any medicine prescriptions. Therefore I just try not to get sick. I have it more for an emergency (like having to go to the hospital). I really need help with my student loan. I owe only about 2500 in state aid I think. But I owe about 15,000 with Sallie Mae. I never finished college. I don't have parents. I could really use some help. Does anyone out there know a way out of my garnished pay checks? Government aid perhaps? My credit is horrible and worse is I have no means to pay off my debt. ANy advice or information, anything at all will be appreciated. Thanks in advance, leoluv822
