hey guys...im doing a little bit better i am working but still not making enough to cover everything i need. its getting chilly down here and need to get a coat for lil lexi (my daughter) and i am really worried about christmas this year too...hopefully something comes through though im trying to stay positive.

I'm not giving up...but I'm worried. As with most plans, life likes to happen all over them and send a monkey wrench into the works.

I got a letter today from my worker stating that due to my daughter turning 18 this month, we will lose the TANIF for her and her medical as of Dec. 2010.

I've been dreading this, as the whole job/income situation isn't good. One min. wage job would cover the loss of the funds, but I'm hoping to get her back on some sort of medical coverage. My son has suffered from no medical for several years, having to opt to go to the ER when things got bad. This is why we so need a public option in this country. But that's not helping out those that need help right now.

I've got to go to the water company tomorrow to try and see if I have any interest available on my deposit to put down on my bill. I don't have the money to pay for it. If we're lucky we'll get up $10 for scrapping the metal we've collected.

Thankfully, my sister covers the cable(internet) for me so I have a phone(magic jack) and a way to access the world. Without that link I'd fall into a worse depression and be no help at all. With this resource I at least can reach out to find assistance and ideas.

If anyone knows of resources in Augusta, GA that really do help - that will actually do something - anything at all to really help...let me know. Cause I'm not getting any positive reactions from those that I've tried - it's always the same...we don't have any money. we can't help you. try next month. In other words, you're on your own, good luck. good bye.

I know that there are others out there in worse shape, in worse situations. I just don't want to join them or be in their situation. If I can climb out of this hole, I'm in a better position to lend them a hand up. If I'm down there with them, were all in the same boat...a sinking one.

All the way up to this last year, I've given and given where ever I found a way to do so. I gave out care packages, I gave boxes of clothes, goods and more to those that needed a holiday. I did all I could, because I know what it's like - I've been homeless before.

But now, I've come to the end of my means. I'm running out of funds to keep us going. Now I'm not able to get the items that my family needs.
(Shampoo, hand soap, basic first aid supplies, female items, etc.)
I was lucky I stocked up on things when I was able to, getting things in bulk. But now those reserves are gone.

I'm feeling very alone right now. I know that many are feeling that way and we should not have to go through this in this country. It's wrong! Something is very very out of sync with the norm when so many are suffering so much. I'm in quicksand, but I'm not going to give up. I am going to keep my head, I'm going to trust that I will find a way. That someone will offer help. That somehow, somewhere the help will come. I have to believe...or I will lose all hope.

Need help badly paying my bills

I am a single mom raising three kids on my own. Just recently divorced. This is the first Christmas my kids and I spend alone. Financially I am at my wits end. I am struggling just to put food on the table. I was working but due to a recent leg injury I am going to be without work until probably March or April of 2009. I will be going into surgery in the beginning of January. My kids are having a hard time coping with everything and my ex-husband is not being much help. I had o choice but to apply for public assistance but I don't have any type of money to give my kids even a small Christmas. Please pray that something comes through for me. They deserve to have a decent Christmas. I am just so tired and worried. Please just keep us in your prayers.

Happy Holidays?

I'm wishing for a happy holiday. I have children that think i'm the bomb. Last year i went on LNI do to injury...actually its been 2 years now that i have been out of work. I have made it till this year, when it just came crashing down. I asked the father of my children to take the kids for a couple months because i was unwell. He still has them. I have always been there for them and they are so lost without me. They call crying and it makes me cry. I"m there but untill health is better i cant take care of them the way they need to be taken care of. I can only give them love and resure them they will be home soon. I am unable to work at this time. I just dont want them to stop believing in santa or there mother. I have always survived and helped others anytime i could. Even when i was without. I never thought i would be the one asking...But I'm so asking now...I am so affaid that this could be my last Christmas with them and i just want to have a Christmas this year. They don't ask for much. If there is anyhelp out there? Please help me. I know its hard on everyone right now...Just alittle goes along way in the eyes of child... Or a lone would work for a few months out...

Thank you

Mommy

I have had a headache for a week and a half now.  I am sure it is caused from the stress and worry that I am going through.  I do not know what else to do or where else to turn.  The past two days I have started having anxiety attacks. 

 I desperately need money to pay my back rent.  I do not want my children on the street for Christmas.  I don't care about presents and my kids are pretty good about not wanting a lot too.  I have tried to teach them that just being with family is more than enough at Christmas. But if someone does not help me by the end of this week, my kids and I will be living on the streets. 

I will pay back any money that is loaned to me.  I just have to catch up.  My ex left me in a bind and I just can't seem to pull out of it on my own.

Is there anyone out there that can help me?

Well today my phone,internet,and utilities will probably be cut off so while I still have it I am going to ask for help one more time..I really do hate doing this but I am at a loss for what else to do I have tried to get loans,I have called all the places and churches that might help in my area I have done just about everything I can think of..all I really want is a loan of $3000 but no one will loan to me..so maybe someone on here can spare even $5 every little bit helps :( I will pay it back when I get back on my feet anyway thank you for reading this I appreciate it I am not sure if the paypal donate button works here but I will try to post it if not my paypal and alertpay email is Willow_redbird@hotmail.com

God Bless

  ok so I have been here before with really no luck :( but I am going to try again because the first is tomorrow and I need help..I need to come up with $3000 ASAP it will be used to pay my rent,bills, and put food in the house I am willing to pay it back in monthly installments.I have tried to get a loan but I cant so if you could loan me all or even part of it I will pay it back...even if you can only loan me $5 that would be great because the more people that loan it will add up to at least part of what I need...thank you

God Bless

I am married with four kids,three girls 15,16,21 and one boy 17.I lost my job a chrysler and my house  in march of this year,I spent all my retirement money on a house up north thinking that i could find a job but no luck until october.They only have me working part-time and all my pay-checks go for paying bills especially when your behind on them and its hard when you only bring home 150.00 a week  but i look it at this way i am still trying,We've told our kids that they might only get one thing if that for Christmas and it kills me to say that to them but i don't want them to get mad at us when Christmas mrning comes around and all they see is a gift for each of them.Boy it really hurts us to see the expression on their face when we told them that,i know they don't really understand the strain that is put on me,but If only someone could help us out this year, i would be very grateful ,thank you all for listening.
