in response to seekinghelp2012...how do you eat an elephant? one bite at a time. the answer is a snowball effect with a livable budget. key word livable. you cannot live on romen noodles and staying home. but you can eliminate that debt on your own con-solidation places are just that. even if they are ligit and mean well the power needs to lye on you. i have done this too. live and learn trust me snow ball that 500.oo a month in ten months you would have taken care of 5,000 of that debt, but at the rate it will go faster than that. because your other debts will be eliminated entirely. write down all of you debts even if there is an over due library book. 1 dollars. to largest debt home mortguage. pay only the minimum payments on all of them and focus the remaining money on the smallest or smallest 2-3 debts say a furniture bill or small credit card. and then pour the savings into next months debts and repeat. i got a easy to under stand from a chapter in the book called "Getting control: the complete guide to getting yourself out of horrible debt by troy flora available on amazon.com good luck! any qestions just ask me. i did it and you can too.
Please is there anyone out there that can help me make some money. I hate to ask for money I would rather work for it, but I have been out of work since 2009 when my father died. I am an only child and have two children and I am the only caregiver for my mother with Alzheimer’s, diabetes and heart disease. I have to provide total care for her. She is on hospice and sometimes she doesn’t even know me. I have been taking care of her since June of last year. I am 52 years old and my only income is my mothers’ social security and that won’t pay all my bills. I have degenerative bone disease and arthritis. I am in constant pain, but can’t afford surgery because; my mother needs around the clock care. I am on the verge of loosing everything. I feel like just dying, at least I wouldn’t be in pain and I wouldn’t have to worry about bills. I have applied for disability, but I am sure I will be denied the first time. Then I will have to hire a lawyer and with no income that would be impossible. I have two master degrees. One in Elementary Guidance and Early Childhood Education. I let my certification run out because I have given up looking for a job. I am CAN certified, but can’t find a job. Plus I can’t leave my mother to work. I have 15 years of data entry by working at The Department of Social Services. I have tried for years to get another job with them, but after putting in over 100 applications I give up, again it is no use to look I can’t leave my mother. I really need a job online, but everywhere I look either they ask for money or they want to know your credit rating, which is ruined because I can’t pay my bills. I owe 50,000 dollars in student loans due to deferment charges. I could do data entry online and any other job online as lone as it doesn’t depend on my credit rating or it asks for money. I have tried online surveys, but never had any luck at that. I even tried a phone sex job, but just couldn’t think of anything sexy to say! Please someone help me. I am paying my mothers bills and mine. I am also taking care of two teenage boys that are eating me out of house and home! I need to make 1,500.00 extra a month to pay bills and to buy groceries. PLEASE, PLEASE SOMEONE GIVE ME A CHANCE. PLEASE PRAY FOR ME I CAN’T SLEEP I AM SO SICK FROM WORRYING HOW AM I GOING TO PAY MY BILLS WHEN NO ONE WILL EVEN GIVE ME A CHANCE!

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

in response to truckerdoug58...Exactly!!! I'm back in Atlanta now, and I am looking for every little bit of work so I can pay these people off their money. I use to drive trucks in the army and now I would love to go to school for my CDL lic..
Well I hope you get everything situated for yourself. I am really deep in the hole which I must crawl out of; but I'm slowly making my way out.
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

I am a single-dad with 3 small children(Son-7yrs, daughter-5yrs, daughter-1yr.). I have 50%custody of them and they are with me for that every weekend so that I can bring them to church with me. I am a U.S. Marine Corps Veteran. I have been a personal trainer for a short while and have unfortunately been unemployed since November 17, 2011. I am in desperate need of work. I am getting food stamps, but only for me - NOT THE CHILDREN!!! The law here in CA says that whoever has them on the claim first gets the award-monies. Their mother applied before me because we were still married then. I never had a chance to claim them after our divorce. In short, she walked with another man and is now married to him. This has been almost 2 years now since the divorce was filed. Since then, I have struggled tremendously financially because I cannot find solid work and/or daycare, let alone the money for it, so that I can work whenever I find it.
I am at my last run of strength it seems trying to support myself and my 3 beautiful children(look at my picture/profile). I have been living on borrowed money for too long. I need employment, short-term financial aid until I am employed, a car(very hard with 3 SMALL kids getting around on the bus), etc.
I know that there is someone out there who can help me. I live in Canoga Park, CA. Thank you...
in response to ras1811...Pat It seem you and I are kinda in the same boat. I was a long haul truck driver. I have two tickets not paid that has my lic. suspended. The speeding ticket in Ohio 145.00 I know I owe. The overweight ticket in manchester Tn. The company was susposed to pay. They didn't now I owe 170.00 for it. With reinstatement fee, dup. copy of lic. and all 650. will put my CDLs back in my hands.I just had to have neck surgery Dec.20. I have not been able to work since July 2010. What is born and bread Americans supposed to do when they have no way to do any thing? I dont quailfy for Tenn. care, to help with medical help.I could go back to work in no time with my lic.
in response to bookworm2011...Little bit of this and a little bit of that. Haha No nothing new. Sounds like you have your hands full. Tell the one who's going to Mexico to be careful. It's deffaniately not like America in most of the country, to much corruption. Just have him keep his eyes open and when someone says duck they aren't talking foul.The one being potty trained, I'm not touchig that with a ten foot pole.You are probably right about the girls, when any kid and I mean any is quit for any length of time count on trouble of some sort.
in response to Schmidty...I've been around..doing a little of this, a little of that lol
working mostly and forever busy with my kids..one is about to go to Mexico to build an orphanage so running around trying to get his passport in time..the other is potty training..vast differences! Both extremely important nontheless..and my girls have both been pretty quiet this week, which spells trouble in some form or the other..thats about it, how about you? Anything new?

Greetings everyone. I want to share a problem I have. For five years I have been trying to resolve a traffic violation that was given to me due to lack of funds. I use to be a U.S. soldier in the active duty Army. When I no longer was in the Army, I decide to enroll in college. Well one particular day over five years ago, I was trying to film a school project from my vehicle. Honestly I did not have any money compared to the amount of money that was being paid to me from the military. Times was hard and I had no insurance on my vehicle, to include expired license plates, and expired registration when I was attempting to film a project. The police assumed that I could be part of some terrorist organization because I was trying to film planes at a small regional airport. The vehicle was towed by the police for lack of all the traffic violations. Every since those fines, I have not been able to obtain a good job without drivers license since my license was revoked due to the traffic violations. The fine is $1,405.00 all together since it was three different violations. I have not been able to save nor raise that kind of money, because over the last five years I spent 3 and a half of those years a full time college student. I really need to find a way or some help to remove this from my record so I can possess license and obtain a decent or excellent career or job. I have had a few small jobs, but they only assisted me in helping pay rent, food, public transportation, and utilities. I really would like to do better for myself, and help others in the process. If only I could resolve this problem, then I will be able to return the favor to someone who needs the help one day. Does any person out there know a logical solution, or can anyone lend a helping hand? Thanks for reading this.
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..

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.
in response to seekinghelp2012...Consolidating debts is rarely the best way to go in trying to reduce your debt levels. Best thing to do is to develope a budget and a plan and stick to it.
Does anyone know of a place to consolidate debts for persons with bad credit. I would even consider peer to peer lending if there are any wealthy individuals willing to help a single, graduate student, with a full time job. I've suffered some financial misfortunes but I'm trying to get back on track. I need about $50,000 and I can comfortably pay be $450 - $550 per month. Please help in any way that you can and it will be greatly appreciated.
in response to Schmidty...Dumb...Dumb....Dumb I sent a message to the your counter partThen I realized after sometime that you had changed your name, had to change your name. I can't figure out why.
All this upgrading that AIDPAGE has done , or at least says they have done has only made it slower and now the one to one is screwed up, it goes to a little white box and hangs up.Can't type nothing, have to go back a page or click out completely. Both of those would surely be a turn on for anyone just coming to the site, it's a shame it use to be a damn good site. Not no more.
Enough , Heres wishing that you have a happy and prosperous new year.Trala boomde a.
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 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
in response to Bee's Knees...if you have a need you can just let someone either pay it to the sorce or just get you the item you need.that is what i am looking for someone to do.i am not asking for cash in my hand just help.and that's whatever help i can get.i will still try to do things on my own.do not mean to sound mean but that's how i fell
i have been to places to get help.the only thing they would tell me is that we can not help you at this time.
