in response to minno...Go check with your local churches they have a lot of church members that are often ready to help someone who is in need of all you have mentioned. Items are easier to obtain from them as far as cash that is a little to much to ask for from people that give from their heart. Today is rough for a high percentage of people. Plus your friend needs to take responsibility for her actions also. Four children and no money? Birth Control should be the first thing your friend should enroll her self into. She needs to do something and why not start there? Children that have to grow up in that environment is uncalled for. To get back on track see your local churches and asked them if they have any items available for your friend and if not would they have any source you could follow up with to find her help. You didn't mention where you are they have many organizations that help in dire needs. Thrift Shops are good places to get second hand clothes that look like new for kids. Most of all I just hope the kids are well, this is a very sad start of abuse with out even knowing what it is doing in the minds of children.
Don't know what state you are in but going to your community church and talking to the head person there may be able to get you on the right path. Also church members are really awsome people willing to help someone as much as they can. Right now don't ever go back to an abusive situation, you need resources at this time that will help you in a safe way. Hope your situation gets better.
Hello All,
This is my first time posting on this site and hearing about it. Let me tell you about me. I am 18 , I have a one year old daughter, were staying with a friend as of last month due to non- supportive mom & abbusive boyfriend. My mom wants me to stay with my child's Father because he has money (HE HITS ME). I've tried and tried I just feel like giving up, but I have a daughter so I'm trying for her. Enough of my sob story, not sure if anyone cares. I am taking college classes online, but I have a deadline on books (Monday, I've been asking for extenions after extensions), My daughter needs diapers & clothes, a daycare, etc. I am embarrassed just posting about this. I cry every night when my daughter is asleep because I wish I could do more for her. We barley have anything. I don't even have a phone :,( , I'm crying as I write this. If some one could help me out with anything just anything It would be a real blessing.
I doubt anyone will help me with this but I have to pay my half of the rent Monday as well and don 't have the money. My half is $450.00 If I don't have it by monday I'll get put out and me nor my child will have nowhere to go.
If someone could find it in there heart , ask god to show you what's right just please help me :( Please!
I don't have transportation so you'd have to come to me. I applied for a debit card so any funds you'd like to contribute i'd be more than happy to give you the card number.
Thank you for reading my post and my god bless you. I'll take advice as well as prayer please.
Hi everyone. I know there are a lot of people that need help right now and I really don't like asking total strangers. But, I need it more than you can imagine. I lost my husband, and the father of my 3 children, last year. Then right before Christmas, I lost my job. His income is what kept up afloat, my income is not enough to cover all of our expenses since I was out of a job for a month and I am about to lose my house. I have to come up with $4000 to keep it from going into foreclosure, and I have to have it as soon as possible. I have been trying every avenue possible to get this money and I haven't had any luck. This is my last resort. If you are able to help me and my children I will be forever grateful. I don't know what else to do. Please help!
I have a friend that is very dear to me and is in dire need of clothes, and diapers, she has three kids now and is in weeks of delivering her fourth, her boyfriend is gone and she has no money. is there any suggestions. i would love to go buy her everything she needs, but i don't have the fund to do so. please help me to help her, no mother should have to go through this alone. she is on welfare but still not enough.
I am not sure where you are from, but I am here in murfreesboro Tennessee & I am in the same situation as you, I just left an abusive relationship as well, I called Imperial Gardens in Smyrna they sayed that they go by 30% of my income.. So you may want to try there.. I really hopes this helps
hi there....remember me i am daisy....sorry it took so long for me to get back to you....the abusive husband i left three years ago....i gave him the house and a truck....my son is from my first marriage...so me and my second husband don't have any children together....though sometimes i get so emotional and all i could do is cry....the man who raised me beat my mom everyday and put us kids in the closet...he thought he was protecting us from seeing all that....but hearing the screams of my mother "woody please don't hit me no more!!" got to me worse than kind of beating a man can give me....my mother means so much to me....ofcourse i love my jesus more....my mom is right up there with him....for the way love her so much..
after all the kids grew up and were gone...mom just stopped taking care of woody....didn't cook didn't talk to him....didn't wash his clothes....and when he saw that....he went to a woman who would do all that....so woody left her....we were so happy....my mother is happily married now to a man that will never hit her....someone who really loves her and helps her with everything....i am proud of my mother...my mother is fine now and safe....but the emotional scars are there and it remains that i sometimes can't deal with them....like right now....i think about it and wish to god there was something i could have done back then....i was only 3 years old....what could i have done....he also beat us kids too....
you know 6 years ago....i seen woody at my brothers house....my brother has always been scared of him....i am not scared of him...i hated him for a while....i got in his face and told him how i felt about hitting my mom for all those 28 years....you know he denied everything....the coward he is he stood there before me and his new wife and denied everything....it is only a matter of time that she will find out the truth....he still cheats on his new wife....he cheated on my mother....just like when i was 16...he asked me to lay with him....i couldn't believe it....he used hunting....(something that i loved to do so much....as a way to try to get into my pants....i was 16 years old....when i was smaller i remember him playing some kind of games with me....i didn't start remembering them until i married chris and chris started reminding me of woody (my step dad)....i did tell my mom what was going on....then i stuck with the truth for a week....i told my mom yes mama he did this to me....she believed me....but i seen her cry everyday....and i am very close to my mother....i couldn't bare to see the pain in her eyes any longer....so i told her i lied....i told her i was trying to get even with woody for making me break up with my first boyfriend....i didn't lie ms jotmom...i just wanted everything to get back to normal....it did get back to normal...i was very careful to avoid woody on his off days...i had 4 horses growing up so i stayed in the woods most of the days....and i would come home way after bed time....i was the black sheep of the family..my sister and brothers wouldn't talk to me....because woodie told them lies about me....plus they (my own brothers and sister ) talked about my face and made fun of me....so yeah i have emotional problems....sometimes i can deal with them....sometimes i can't...
the man you see beside me in my profile picture....he is the best thing that has ever happened to me....he is a wonderful man...he is 10 years younger than me....he is 29 and i am 39....but still age is only numbers....he is slow to anger....patient...don't complain...he don't gripe....he is everything in my book....the perfect man....i have to go...it is getting late....if you can....i would like to take you up on that offer about the phone number....because....moral support is better than any amount of cash there is....thanks for caring....can you please send a private message to me with your phone number....lol i promise right here and now i will not be calling all hours of the night....or the day....only at reasonable times....daniel he is trying to help me...but him being a man and all....he can't relate to me....so thanks and god speed
daisy
First those type of colleges are more like private schools so they charge a lot more than a community college and end up taking all the financial aid. If you go to a community college or university you will actually receive money back from financial aid, because they consider living expenses as well.

There IT is......................
There it is....is for the many who found this world full of people with greed who'll offer you the moon and then always keep it just out of reach.I'll share what I've learned freely as it was shared with me.It's simple and clear as it should be.No need to go to hours of meeting and give away your hard earned cash to scam artist in sheep skins.They'll not only take your money but, your time and god forbid your faith! If it's God's will I will accept a donation to expand my efforts to reach others by various methods.If not then please accept the following in the spirit it was given.
I.Believe----
With all your heart,soul and substance you must"Believe in whatever you may want to be manifested in reality. By faith we create our own reality.By faith we create our world and are what we believe.Tell anyone something about themselves long enough and the will not only believe it but,will act as if they are.
II.Speak It---
For good or bad, we speak our reality into being.If it's negative...then we mistakenly start the process of manifesting the bad omen by just speaking it and creating the atmosphere for it to exist.The World and all that is and ever shall be is and was spoken into being.GOD spoke the creation into being....and GOD said let there be....and it was good.So everything "EVERYTHING" starts with belief in the spirit realm and becomes a spoken word,then reality.
III.Act on It---
Now a mean,take the path of least resistance.Just a feather touch.We limit our power just using pure worldly force often over doing the nature process of miracles.Making a simple job harder or killing it altogether.The Women with the issue of blood first believe then spoken of her faith then acted on it by touching Jesus.This World has taught us that only by physical means we can realize our dreams.Not only would this debunk miracles but,kill the faith of those who do.Thankfully God is all powerful and there are if not all things mere man can not explain.
IV.Receive it----
You sometimes can't see the forest for the trees.Don't be blinded by the materiel world and how thing may appear.The world and the devil we try to bluff you out your blessing.When things look there worst and seem to just go wrong then,look a little deeper and don't miss that blessing thats already there that you don't see or just around the corner!The rule of thumb is the stronger the resistance seems the closer the blessing!!!
V.Testify to others---
Freely you we're given so freely share your blessing with others.
This is the most Important step.We can't be shady and hide our light under a bush...we must hold it up for others to see.Not only does this builds the faith of others but, makes a positive atmosphere of blessing and goodwill in the dog eat dog world that would stamp out spiritual miracles!
Now go out and bless others and god will bless you.
in response to bookworm2011...Wow! Char, that is so awesome! I'm thrilled for you!!!! Now, go kick some butt and lose the rest during your second round!
in response to Bee's Knees...Just wanted to thank you for your support through my diet, I am done with round one and lost about 17-18 pounds. I am in a size 9 down from a 12 and very happy..now I am working out and watching what I eat carefully. I may do another round later but I am very pleased with the results. I emailed you a one to one photo before and after
thanks again

By the way, I don't qualify for medicaid. According to them I make too much due to my child support, which is ridiculous because I don't even receive it half of the time.

I just found out today that my daughter (her name is Ashley and she is 10 years old. Straight A student, VP of the leadership program at school, an all-around beautiful little girl) has to have emergency surgery to have her gall bladder removed, asap. I just lost my job, 9 days before Christmas, due to cutbacks, and also my insurance. Being a single mother of 3 kids, things have been really rough financially. My ex-husband also lost his job around the same time so I'm currently not even receiving child support. I have no idea how I will come up with the $6,000 that I need for her to have this surgery done. I have $2,000 of it but that was using all of my resources and I am now out of options. I know times are tough for everyone, so I really feel bad asking for help, especially from people that I don't even know. But my daughter has to have this surgery as soon as possible and I don't know what to do. Please please contact me if you are able to help me.
in response to The Real Cie...I don't know what to say, I have bipolar, Fibro,ADD PTSD,. I don't work lost my job, waiting for disibality, but I wont be to live on that. I havent eaten in a few days. But there is no help for me, and this is bull. We have TV minister living in million dollar home, they are worth billions. They live tax free, almost everything they buy is tax free. Company come to the US they are tax free for several years. who made these stupid tax laws?
My dream in life has always been to be a photographer. I once was a wedding photographer for an all-inclusive company in Florida and I absolutely LOVED it! I let go of that dream for a while because I have kids to support, and photography just didn't seem like the logical choice. Recently I got involved with a photographer friend in her project called Dare to Dream. It's a project that focuses on women empowering women through photography by making them feel beautiful. I want to become more involved but I need a new camera and equipment to do so. I have had so many financial difficulties lately and cannot even imagine how I will come up with $4000 to buy all of the equipment that I need. I thought maybe I would give this a try and see if anyone out there is able to help me make my dream a reality. I will need a new camera which is around $1200 as well as lenses, an attached and detached flash, an umbrella and a tripod, just to start out with. If anyone can help make my dream come true I would be forever grateful! I am a single mother of 3 beautiful children and not only will this help me to support them it will also help me to teach them the value of hard work, dedication and, most importantly, how to believe in themselves, all through example. Please contact me if you can help!
in response to jillfrommass41...I think women can never be too careful..maybe I watch too much crime story news but seems there are predators waiting for desperate women and children..I would hate anyone to fall victim to that..just because they need help so badly..I worry especially about teens(my own included) being too trusting and not feeling that they are in any danger..
in response to bookworm2011...Bookworm,I truly agree with you:)and to the younger girls,or any age for that matter,I know u probably would be thrilled to see someone willing to help you,and ur so thrilled desperate in need,but that is something to think about,sadly but true,some people are in it for the wrong reasons,and like bookworm said "I would also hate to see anyone in the news for this type of situation"I pray for u all,to send u a guardian angel to see u and ur children,live a safe,happy,productive,luving,life:)Bless u all,from the bottom of my heart:)
in response to fanny12...Hi,my name is Jill,First I want u to know for a young girl,u seem to have the smarts for ur age to better u and ur child.I so have always wanted to work with pregnant teens in need,if I ever come into the lottery there are so many organizations for people in need that I would love to develop.I was wondering where ur from and urage?Have u ever thought about asking ur local highschools counselors if they may have any programs for teens who have children?or is thier a housing authority in ur town?homeless shelter?dept of transitional assistance?if u need any help,send me a message and maybe I can give u ideas to help u:)u deserve to be happy,god bless u,and ur baby:)Im thinking of u and wish u luck,jill
I am a single mother of 3 kids and recently lost my job due to cutbacks. I am having a hard time finding another one due to not having enough gas to put in applications. I have put in some, in person, and have put in my resume at several places online. My electric is now due ($297.64)and I haven't been able to come up with the money. My family is unable to help me and local charities are out of money because it's the end of the month. To make things even worse, my ex-husband lost his job also so I am not even receiving child support. I hate asking for help, but I don't know what else to do. If anyone is able to help me, it will be greatly appreciated!
in response to bookworm2011...My family doesn't like it when there are no snacks either, but I have weaned them off of them almost entirely now, because, the truth is, it won't hurt them to not eat sweets. In fact, sugar is the major cause of most sickness, since it is poison, and kicks the heck out of our immune systems! I'm so glad the green tea and stevia help you! It IS hard to remember to drink all that water, since you are a busy lady! Hang in there and it WILL come off!
in response to Bee's Knees...No Worries! That happens to me every once in a while too..I got a little bummed because the past two days I saw an increase of 6 ounces but then realized that I had stopped drinking all the water..I made myself drink the required glasses today and we will see what the scale says tmw..Ive found drinking some green tea with the sweetner completely takes care of any cravings when I cook for my family. I tried to eliminate boxed and packaged sweets so I must endure the baking treats for them since Im the one who got myself into this by telling them they need to eat healthier, homemade snacks! Thank you again for the support! I hope that things are well with you and your family..

I FEEL FOR YOU ,I WAS IN THE EXACT SITUATION, GOT EVICTED,AND AM NOW HOMELESS WITH A NINE YEAR OLD SON THATS DISABLED. WENT BACK TO HIM AND STILL WE ARE HOMELESS.I COULDN'T GET ANY HELP IN NASHVILLE. I JUST FEEL LIKE OUR COUNTRY COULD CARE LESS AND ITS EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF! I JUST GIVE UP! TOO TIRED OF IT ALL!!!
There are a lot of people here who need help so I'm not terribly hopeful, but here goes. I am mentally ill. I have type II bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, and obsessive compulsive disorder which partially manifests as hoarding disorder. I have hoarded objects, not animals. I have 5 cats, which some may think is "a lot of cats" but it does not qualify as animal hoarding. I am working on the hoarding problem but it is an uphill battle. Sometimes I do better than others.
In spite of my mental illness, I do work. I make well above minimum wage, as I make $17 an hour. I work 32 hours a week. This is about all I can do without it making me extremely depressed or physically sick. I also have fibromyalgia and sciatica as well as asthma and mild hypertension.
I fall into a marginalized category. Because I make the salary I do, I do not qualify for food stamps. However, once taxes and insurance are taken out of my pay, I only take home about $1400 a month. I am in an upside down mortgage in a mobile home and my credit is damaged. Thus refinancing seems to be out of the question--no-one will touch me. Between mortgage and lot rent, I pay $1100 a month.
My mother has helped me out for several years with utility bills. I do not eat much except at work. I get things like cheese whiz and crackers and canned fruit juice or jello that does not need refrigeration when I am at home as I do not have a working refrigerator.
Last year my mobile home incurred very bad damage when the water heater started leaking and I didn't know it until my son realized that the carpet in the hall was wet. The walls and floors of 3 rooms had to be removed. Overall the repairs cost over $20,000. My mother helped out with this. But she is stuck with my late father's medical bills and really can't help any more. I am ashamed to ask her for help anyway.
I do not have working plumbing except in the bathroom sink. Fortunately I am able to shower and wash my clothes at work. I do not have much in the way of furniture but I'm not so worried about that.
I still owe $43,000 on this horrible 15% mortgage, which I have had for 10 years. The original mortgage was $45,000. You can see that I am mostly paying interest. I am in a no-win situation.
I just got through paying off a bunch of payday loans that I had to take out when I was doing a month unpaid internship to obtain my LPN license last April. I also maxed out my credit cards. I still owe about $1200 in credit card bills. This destroyed my credit, which I had worked very hard to build back up to a passable score.
I have medical issues which I have not been able to afford to take care of and I have not been to a dentist in 6 years.
I feel very depressed most of the time and think about suicide every day. I am not a lazy person but I have had a lot of barriers to my success in my life.
It seems that if I had nothing at all there would be some resources from me. But since I am working and have this mobile home I fall into the Twilight Zone where no-one can or will help me.
Thanks for reading.
in response to bookworm2011...Hi, Char. Sorry for the delay in answering. Ever notice how Aip sometimes tells you there are messages, then, after you open and read one, it tells you there are no more? I just ran across this message from you that I never even read before, so I'm assuming that is what happened.
I know. It is sooooo hard to cook or bake for others when you are not allowed to have any! But, when you are in the zone, you are in the zone!
Keep going! You CAN get down to the pre-baby weight again! I did.
I can't wait to see the after picture!
in response to Bee's Knees...Dear Bee's Knee's:
Thank you for your answr and taking the time to set me along the right reason why I am here. We all can use the help at times and me I am looking for an angel, for a long time now have been putting it in prayer to have a family car for my family of one child. this is one reason why I am looking into the grants and see where the Creator will guide me too. Once again thank you for your time... Close with love and peace... StrongBear
in response to georgette7...Thanks, Georgette. I do think it helps when people can see it is a real need, and that it goes directly to pay that need, instead of just a random person's account. Scammers have been here and tricked people into giving them lots of money in the past. We've lost many good contributors because of that. When new contributors join, and ask me how to tell which people have real needs, a good rule of thumb is seeing that some needs are real and having proof (like when the bill is paid directly.) so you have a good point.
in response to Bee's Knees...i just wanted to make sure no one was thinking that they would be sending the funds to me.i know all of you on the site whom are helpping are doing things as you can.i was reading things on the site befor posting.you are doing a great job with all repiles
in response to georgette7...What I am saying is that money is not often exchanged here in any way (direct gifts, grants, paying of bills, etc...) I understand you are asking for tax help. Everyone seems to be struggling right now, especially this time of year. Many are disabled, homeless, have no food, etc....
We have no idea which contributors happen to be reading the posts and are financially able and willint to help. Sometimes this does happen, but most of the time, we try to swap helpful info, resources for help through different organizations, etc...(usually the people who need help the very most are helped in those cases)
We have no access to any cash other than whatever we each earn via our own jobs.
Many times people have the misconception that we work for a large corporation and are able to distribute funds from a large account.
I hope this information helps.
I wish I could be of more help.
I know how it feels to be hassled for payments due.
God bless you.
in response to StrongBear...Hello, StronBear,
I was losing my house when I found this site. I was not sure what it was at first. I have never been given a grant here. I found out the people here help one another as they can. Some have been given cash assistance by other members, but mostly I see people giving one another support and information. Many contributors have taken the time to research different topics and are able to point others in the right direction for help.
Hello Sis just wanted to introduce my self first; I am StrongBear. You have been here from the time of 2010 and was wondering why you came to this site was it like me looking for grants? Ofcourse, with your permission I am asking of you. My reason is to find out if this site does help us, for I am looking for grants too... Please for give me if I sounded bold just wanted to know what is up with our site here? :) thanks for even reading this, close with love and peace... StrongBear
in response to greeneyedmomma41...Hi there! You're welcome.I understand what you mean.It has been really difficult for me to smile anymore.So,I learn to smile with my mouth shut!
in response to pgneedhelp...Well thankyou very much for your message,very sweet of you:)I love people,and sometimes in this sad,big,crazy world,alot of people seem not too care about other human beings:)I just wish we all could just get along,lol...and help one another,if able too,but just a simple smile,to a stranger,u never know but it could really be something that would make thier day!stop by anytime,take care,Jill
Just wanted to give a write out,lol,to anyone that wants to chat about there issues.I am here if anyone needs an ear to talk to:)and I pray for you all out here,and feel thankfull that theres an outlet for help out in the cyber world:)Thanks again,Jill
in response to georgette...We can help you with ideas about how to find resources for aid, but we cannot guarantee you will be gifted cash. Each of us gives as we are able.
needing help with taxs,home inc.,food,household items.these are the first main things i need to take care of.i put up a request on the home page.what help we get that would be great.anyone can make the main payment to whom it goes to
