Begging Money

Financial Hardship Help

Being a single mother especially in today’s era can be extremely overwhelming. If you are one of those mothers who is doing it alone every day you know what I am talking about. It seems like the bills just continue to pile up and never end.

Researchers have said that just in 2015 year ending alone over 80 percent of the households in America that we’re single households we’re in fact ran by a FEMALE head of household which we’re mostly living very poor.

Many people may say well there is government assistance for them to get a grant but it’s hard to find and information regarding that said topic anywhere. So in hopes to help the single mothers out in the world this article will give you some insight on the different assistance topics we can cover including where and how to get a grant or scholarship. Also, you will read and see how simple it is to receive help with income expenses and medical insurance.

Are there really grants for a single mother?

Of course they do but these grants are not only for single mothers. However, that doesn’t mean there isn’t help for a mother to receive one. I know its mind boggling that the government hasn’t had any means created for money for a single mother that is actually in the shape of a grant. One thing the government does for a single mother is they assist them through a group or have set sponsors through a company, and sometimes they are covered by the actual income assistance completely.

Below are a few websites that will redirect you to free items that you can get just for registering on the website.

Low Income Assistance for Single Mothers / Government Grants

As I said there is not an official grant for a single mother available that is FEDERAL. However a single mother can go through federal programs and register and sign up for them. Those kinds of programs are usually for households with low income. Which means you would also qualify for Welfare. No matter what the case these are programs to help those who make below the limit and live poorly.

Below are different types of assistance based in the United States.

TANF – TEMPORARY ASSISTANCE FOR NEEDY FAMILIES

TANF is a crucial for many low income families located within the US.

With TANF you receive a small amount of cash every month that you can use toward your food, rent, and other necessities. However you only receive TANF for up to 60 month limit.

If you are a single mother and you have children in your home who are less than 19 years old you are eligible for TANF.

SNAP – SUPPLEMENTAL NUTRITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

Food-stamps or SNAP as other people may refer to is financial help for meals. You can receive money every month to place food on the table if you are on low or no income.

For most of Americans living in poverty SNAP is potentially the only assistance they can get.

Research has shown that in 2015 SNAP benefits have helped at least 45 million Americans. Most of the ones who receive the stamps are under are up to the age of 18.

When you go to use your benefits for SNAP you have your own personal debit card to ring your groceries up with at the register. If you are interested in trying to get on with SNAP benefits all you have to do is fill and application out and send it in or take it into a local office that deals with SNAP benefits.

NSLP – NATIONAL SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAM

This is a program that gives free (or discounted) food to students whose parent’s income is bellow a poverty level. The income needs to be at least between 130-185 percent bellow the poverty line.

Most the time if a person is a receiver of SNAP benefits their children will be accepted into this program for free lunches. But, that doesn’t mean if you don’t have or receive SNAP that your children are disqualified.

You need to contact your child’s school to apply.

TEFAP – THE EMERGENCY FOOD ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

Food for the American families who are in the poverty range not matter what the age.

If you have received food stamps before or any other program assisting you and helping you such as the ones in this article you could also be approved for this program.

You will need to contact your State distribution agency to learn more about the Emergency food assistance program.

Local Food Banks

A food bank doesn’t exactly fit into the whole “Grant” program area as it is actually a location in your town where you can get food if you are in need.

Do not allow you or your family to go without food. If you ever reach that trouble you can call 211 and ask them where the nearest food bank is based on your location.

More then 200 food banks exist with the feeding america foundation and they supply enough food to feed over 40 million people.

WIC – WOMEN, INFANTS AND CHILDREN PROGRAM

This program includes a package deal where you as a mother are able to receive healthy foods, whether you are pregnant or a new mother, and also to children who are 5 or under.

WIC is a program that is temporary and only used for a short amount of time – usually between 6 to 12 months.

EARLY HEAD START / HEAD START

These programs are for children up to 5 years old.

You can receive free child’s medical and dental care along with their schooling, and dietary needs.

Find your closes headstart office on their website or call at 1-866-763-6481.

Insurance for unemployment

This is a special program which will pay you weekly if you are unemployed and it had nothing to do with you for you being fired or let go. You will only be able to receive this benefit for maximum 26 weeks. Different states have different benefit rules. But most states will average out at about 45% of whatever the average weekly income is.

Single mothers who are out of a job temporarily can find solace with these benefits and can help make the burden less for themselves because this pay will restore what you have lost from losing your work.

If you want to try and get this started and opened for you, you will have to find your local unemployment office or apply on the website for this specific program. Most states will allow you to also try to sign up for this over the phone.

Section 8 housing

Section 8 is basically a program that helps a family be able to pay for their housing. If approved you will receive a voucher of up to 70 percent of your bills (utilities and rent). You are expected to pay the other 30 percent.

If you want to apply and feel you qualify you can get in touch with your local office involved with public housing, the HUD office.

CCAP – CHILD CARE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

This is a benefit for families who can’t afford to place their children in daycare while working.

You still have to pay a certain percentage but it isn’t a big lump of money. The less you earn, the less you need to contribute.

EITC – Earned Income Tax Credit

It is a tax benefit for people with low income. You could potentially get as much as $6,000.

If you normally have a tax rate of $1050 but you are allowed $5550 then you get refund of $4500.

There is a Children’s Tax Credit too for as much as $1,000 for EACH child.

LIHEAP – LOW INCOME HOME ENERGY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

LIHEAP is a program that is a one time help to help pay for heating / cooling expenses.

Most of the time this is for the disabled or families with children or disabled person in the home.

If you need any extra information regarding this topic you can get in touch through the number 1-866-674-6327 or a local number for your local LIHEAP office.

WAP – WEATHERIZATION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

Weatherization assistance program lowers energy bills for families in need. Usually the elderly and families involving children are accepted and put to the top of the list before all.

Your monthly income need to be below 200 percent poverty level.

To apply, find a local WAP center.

Medicaid

Medicaid is help with medical expenses. If you do not have health insurance this gives you certain benefits as long as your income restriction meets the level it should.

A lot of single mothers may meet the standards to be recipients of Medicaid even if you are unemployed.

Every state has different rules about Medicaid plans. You can find out exact requirements on this website.

Together with ObamaCare it ensures that even single mothers who didn’t receive any health benefits will now be able to have coverage.

CHIP – CHILDREN HEALTH INSURANCE

CHIP gives children without health insurance a chance to have health benefits all the way up until they are nineteen. It is for families whose income is too high to receive Medicaid benefits.

It provides every type of benefit you can think of — dental, eye exams, and even annual doctor’s exams.

Every state has its own rules. If you would like to learn a little more about this specific benefit you can call 1-877 Kids now (1-877-543-7669)

Federal Pell Grants

Aid program for students of up to $5,815 for those in need to be able to set foot into college.

This is the best opportunity for a mother who is single to finally be able to finish her schooling and finally continue in the workforce. The money is completely free of charge with no interest rates or paybacks ever.

You need to fill out an application and submit it for a pell grant and have it turned in on or before June 30th of every year.

Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant

Similar to the Pell Grant. If you already have had pell grants and you are at the top of the charts in need you will be first on the list to receive this. Depending on a persons needs that are wrapped in with their financial struggle will ultimately decide who will receive anywhere between $100 too $4,000 annually.

Charities

Charities can be a way to seek help for you and your children whether you are in need of food or clothing or even housing. A lot of charities around the world actually have their own food banks that they run and they will give you bags of free food.

If you go to salvation army a lot of the times they will let you sleep there if you have no where else to go especially if it is a result of violence.

Churches

Most churches will offer you food and clothes or maybe even a place to stay if you have been recently kicked out by the one you are living with.

To find information on this you should look through your phone books local listing or yellow page. You can also research online and see what churches are available to your area and call them and ask what services they do offer.

Loans

Single moms can receive loans usually relatively quickly but I would not recommended that at all. You could potentially go into debt and not be able to rise back from that.

Sometimes you have no choice because you have to fix your broken car or maybe pay for utilities and food and need the help right then. But you have to be able to pay that loan realistically quick.

Pay attention to your credit because if you try to get a loan through a bank or anyone they will check your credit score and see if it is even available to be able to place a loan out to you. If it is a loan that is for payday loans or credit card advances they will not run a check but you will end up paying more after fees and costs.

Line of Credit

If your credit is decent some people ask a bank for a loan personally. Most of the time this is a better idea then asking for a payday loan because if you need quick money with lower rates of interest this is it.

Personal Loans

On a personal loan interest is lower dramatically but you have to pay in instalments. It doesn’t really fit criteria for an emergency. Normally if you just tell them you do not have any more funds and that is why you need this they will turn you away. If your credit is poor you will not be able to even touch this offer.

Short term (payday) loans

This is a very popular type of loan. You may know it by the term “Cash advance.” The interest runs really high on these and it is a loan that is only for a small time frame.

This is a loan that would more then likely be considered if a problem arises and you needed to repair your car or had a disastrous dental emergency. You have to know for sure you will be able to give every penny back.

If you do not pay this type of loan back you could be in loads of trouble financially.

Credit card cash advance

Do you own a credit card? If so you will be able to get money from a bank as easy as 1, 2, 3. This is not a method that is highly praised though because as soon as you start taking money out of the bank the interest keeps rising and you also are charged for using and pulling out of the bank a fee. This is potentially the easier options if you do need cash asap but you have to pay it back and make sure you absolutely can.

When it is all said and done grants will not solve your money issues within your home if that is what you expect. To get a grant is definitely not easy it isn’t a walk in the park by any means.

If you are looking to get a more stable source of financially being stable you should probably look in areas around you or find a women shelter until you can get back up on your feet.

If you think you have all the time in the world you can apply for other areas of assistance such as Food stamps, HUD, and etc. They do take a lot of time and effort for someone to get back with you and let you know if you have been accepted and enrolled. Try finding a part time working job as a way to financially start becoming stable again.

The moral of this is you can not expect a grant to fall into your hands without effort and take all your worries away. They are only here too do one thing and that doesn’t usually fix anything with your financial setting.

This is all on you and what you decide, no one else can decide for you.

Help with purchasing speaking iPad for my special needs daughter.

Hi there,

This is really hard for me to do. I never thought I would be in a situation to ask for money from people I don’t know. My daughter was born 3 months early and has a learning disability that prevents her from speaking. She was born with bilateral choanal atresia and is delayed in most areas. She is 7 years old and can say a few words here and there. She uses a speaking ipad (she chooses a picture and it speaks for her), at school, but isn’t allowed to take it home. It is helping her tremendously at school, but I would love for her to have one at home. The cost for this special laptop is $10,000 due to the software that is implemented into it.

I am a single Mom and barely making ends meet. If you could donate to help me, I would be forever grateful. I didn’t post her picture on here, because I guess I am overly cautious. If you want to see what she looks like. I can send you a personal one. Thank you and God bless.

Single Mother Needing Help

Hello and thank you for giving this a look.

My name is Grace, better known as Gracie. About 2 years ago, my father was diagnosed with prostate cancer and moved in with myself and my two daughters(current ages 3 and 10).  Things have gotten pretty difficult from there.

As it stands currently, my apartment only has one actual bedroom and the girls technically use the living room as a bedroom. Due to cuts in hours at my job, I don’t make enough for all utilities to be covered, so we have been without heating/cooling for 2 months now. Several other issues are wrong with the home, but the landlord won’t fix them and I can’t afford to move out.

I have a vehicle that is a lemon that the dealership will not repair or even attempt to help. So far, I have replaced all 4 tires, the starter, the brakes, the ignition, and now it has an engine issue that I just can’t afford. This is my sole means of transportation.

I took out a couple payday loans to help, but got stuck in the cycle and can’t seem to get anywhere. I’m just so overwhelmed.

I have found another more affordable home with space for us all, we just need help with moving expenses and getting utilities set up again in new home.

In total, to pay off my payday loans, it is $900. To move into a new home with first month rent and deposit, its $1,300. And for a down payment on a used car, I need $2,500. Thank you again for reading this. Any help would be immensely appreciated. I have included my paypal info below.

Bad situation to good for a single mom with your help

I’m looking for a healthy fresh new start.

I took on a relationship nearly 8 years ago and took on his 2 children qnd raised them as my own. In the meanwhile we became pregnant and married thus my son was born. Such a blessing when told it was never possible.

When this happend I found my husband changed. Maybe I didn’t see it before. He asked me to quit my job to raise the children and his controlling mannerisms everyone warned about appeared. After being harrassed daily for 2 years, finding him in online relationships, drinking daily and over medicating to where the harrassment was unbearable and the kids look at him like a monster of abuse I managed to convince him to begin work again.

I managed to save for legal fees for a separation. But the cost of living in the meantime va income and no support from him as he continues to contest until i run out of money so that he avoids his fatherly duties leaves me unable to make ends meet and pay daycare to continue to work.

I need help and have resorted to the promise of strangers with means helping me swallow my pride. I don’t have family anymore. It’s just my son and I.

I have no idea when child support will be coming. I’ll be 500 short each month until then. I’m at a loss and need as much help as possible to make it. Keep the lights on. Pay the daycare. Not be evicted.

Know that any dollar donated will be used with so much appreciation. I’ve swallowed my pride because when it comes to my boy, i have to make sure he is taken care of. I have to provide by any means.

Thank you in advance kind strangers. ♡

WITH LOVE,

STEPH AND JAX

Embarrassed but desperate.

Hi everybody.

I sit here completely  panicking and overwhelmed by my situation.

I find myself after working all my life and always being independent now being a homeless ‘benefits mum’. Ive wanted a family all my life and two years ago I got my wish. I now have the most beautiful, clever, loving little boy. I gave up work to be a mummy and my partner was the provider, however his drinking became a serious problem and we have since split. Knowing that I am unable to work until I have childcare, am in a house that I cannot afford without a wage and and had to some how save up to be able to move out my ex reluctantly agreed to stay until we could move out. He was drunk constantly and verbally abusive, started bringing women back to our home while we were at ‘grandmas’ and just an absolute nightmare to live with however I knew we had no choice but to get on with it until I could save to get away. When I was halfway there he decided he was just going to leave, he has not paid the rent he is liable for and I have also since been given notice on my home due to the benefits and I’m unable to get anywhere else because I am now ‘DSS’. The price of the house has meant the money I saved has gone. We are officially homeless in less then a week and I have no money to move even if I had a property which I don’t. I am terrified my beautiful baby will have to live in a hostel or somewhere equally as undesirable and I have no way to stop this. I feel completely powerless. I am being threatened with my benefits being stopped because my ex still hasn’t changed his address and cannot supply me with proof that he lives elsewhere and I have just been told that I now have to pay for court costs when my landlord applies for a court order to evict me (I have been told I have to wait for bailiffs to remove me or I am classed as making myself homeless and so will not be given any help). I am in a nightmare, I never thought I would be in this position and I cannot believe how your expected to magic money out of thin air for things when that’ exactly why I need the help in the first place. How on earth do people do this? All I am asking for is money to be able to move, storage, rent, bond etc etc and anything else would be a bonus. This is so degrading to have to ask for help but I can’ see any other way to prevent me and my little boy going through all this and ending up in an even worse situation. Please help.

Single mom in emergency situation

received_1942239122466732.jpeg hi  I’m  a 36 year old single mom  of two beautiful boys ,  named Damian and Julian .  Damian is 11  about to be 12 in a few weeks , and Julian is 9 .  I’ve never had to ask anyone for money before  because  I usually  work multiple jobs  to take care of my boys all by myself  and I work hard to do whatever I have to do to make sure they are okay .  Unfortunately though  I’ve been stopped dead in my tracks  due to an emergency surgery  I had to have last week .  Apparently  my bowel  was  collapsing in on itself  and being sucked into my small intestine.  So I was rushed  into the operating room  and had emergency surgery  performed to have almost a foot long’s worth of my bowel removed .  The doctor said  I now cannot work  for 8 to 12 weeks  because of all the Staples  that are inside of me  holding my intestines together .  They need time to heal before I can do any hard work or heavy lifting .  I’ve gone to my local welfare office  and they tell me there’s nothing they can do for me as far as financial assistance,  all they can do  is give me food stamps .  I’ve called SSI  to ask about temporary disability  benefit for the three months that I will be out of work , and they told me there’s no such thing  and there’s nothing they can do to help me either .  I’ve applied for unemployment ,  but it’s not going to be much .  I’ve had to move out of my home  because I can’t pay rent , and I’ve moved in with a friend . I’m bringing in absolutely no income right now  and my friend is having a very hard time  paying all the rent, all the utilities, and all the food  to support  my children and I  and it’s getting very hard on her  without me contributing anything .  Not to mention ,  aside from  trying to help her with typical rent and bills and food,  I still have my own bills .  I e ,  my phone bill ,  other  personal  bill  that I am starting to fall behind on . Also my older son Damian ,  his birthday is in just a few weeks on July 6th  and it looks like  going down this route,  I’m not going to be able to give my boy a birthday party not even a cake .  All I’m looking for  is some sort of help  so I can catch up on my bills,  help my roommate with the other bills,  try to get my car fixed  and back on the road so as soon as I’m Healed I can get back to work ,  and just make it through these next 12 weeks .  So please ,  if there’s anyone out there that is reading this right now ,  anything, and I mean anything that anyone can donate to help us survive these next three months  would be so greatly appreciated  since my own State won’t do anything to help us .  I’ve included my PayPal me link  and I would greatly appreciate anything anyone can do to help us  because I’m drowning over here in debt and my kids are getting sick of eating ramen noodles for breakfast lunch and dinner every single day  I just need some sort of help .  I know I sound like a broken record I’ve just never done anything like this before but now that I’m out on doctor’s orders  I’m literally begging anyone for anything they can do to help us through this time…

Mother trying to support her kids

Hello all, and thank you for reading

My name is Rebecca. I am a 25 year old mother of 2 beauiful children ages 1 year and 3 years old. I am asking for help today, to get myself out of debt, to help pay my bills and to hopefully own my first car. I’ll be honest, as a teen my choices were very poorly made, I was rebellious and carefree, and never thought of how it would effect my future. Now I am currently in school full-time and struggling to make ends meet or put food on the table for my kids and I. At the time I am unemployed. I don’t have a family to support me, and childcare was taking up all of my paychecks when I was working.

I guess what I am really asking for is a fresh start, for myself and my kids. I need a car to help get around with my little ones (walking everywhere has become extremely difficult) and I need a little extra to help me pay off some debts and pay for groceries.

It is my hope I will be able to find reasonable childcare again so I can return to work, after I have gotten the car to help me get around….

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Anything helps!

Single mother wanting to get out of debt and back on my feet

I recently left a bad relationship and became a single mother. I racked up a cable and cellular bill and became 2 months late on rent while in the relationship. He quit his job and left everything up to me. Everything was under my name and now my credit is bad and I’m getting harassed by creditors. After I left him he found a job and and we agreed on child support. Since I moved to another city when I  left him it wasn’t easy to make sure I got his payment regularly. He started to send less and then stopped sending it at all. He quit his job and went into hiding when I suggested taking legal action. Since then I never heard from him and I’ve been struggling just to make ends meet on my own. I’ve been paying for rent, lunch fee (for my son), internet (I need it to use as a phone since I can’t get one or even afford one), and just barely making it for groceries. I try to ask for help when I need it but most of the time I don’t get it and get lectured.

I just want to pay off what I owe so I would be able to get back on my feet and wont have to ask for help from anyone again. I want to get out of debt and be able to live normally and not stressed all the time. I don’t want to always wonder if I would have enough groceries to last until next paycheck. I want to be able to be able to pay my sons school lunch fee on time and not always late because I didn’t have the money. I want to be able to get my son clothes because I hardly have the money because it goes to bills, rent, and food first. I have to ask family for money to get him clothes and they make it seem like such a burden.

If I could get help from here it would be greatly appreciated. Even if I don’t get enough to cover my debt but enough to help get me groceries for a week or even a couple days would be a great help. This is my last resort and not something I want to do but I need the help. So thanks to anyone that can help me.

 

Young single mom needs rent help after hours were cut

Hey y’all, I’m a 22 year old single mom that works now part time due to cutbacks at the company I work for. I’m dangerously close to losing my home after only being on my own for 6 months. I have a 2 year old that I provide for. I have no family in the area and have no other recourse but to ask others for help. The compassion to do so for a fellow human is so beautiful and would be so genuinely appreciated. I’m babysitting in my free hours and doing any work I can find to help my situation but I have no idea how to do it on my own. I’ve been approved for food stamps which now helps, but unfortunately my landlords won’t accept that. I’m a really good kid just trying to get it together so I can provide for my little one.

 

I would upload a photo of my lease agreement but the sensitive information contained in such isn’t something I’d like to broadcast on the internet but would happily verify in any way possible  My PayPal account is paypal.me/AshleyE504

 

Thank you all kind souls

Stuck in a hard situation

George family.jpg

 

I am a young mother of three beautiful children. J (7, almost 8), T (4) and K (practically 6 months old). Before my third child was born, I was living in California. I met a man online, who lived in Connecticut. I started having family issues. So, he convinced me to come to Connecticut with J and T. So, unfortunately I came. Everything seemed great. But a month later, my fairytale turned into a nightmare. A horror story if you will. This man became abusive and sexually assaulted me in front of J and T. And the worst thing that could ever happen…. this man had shaken T, and she was only 2. I did everything I can to get him to stop. But he was way bigger than me. I finally got her help once I noticed strange behaviors coming from her. At the hospital, I was notified that she was having seizures.

 

After all that, T is doing perfectly fine. But, all 3 children are not in my care because of the situation. That man is not the father of K… thank goodness. But I would like to get help with money so that I could take my children out during visits. Be able to take them to eat, go clothes shopping, toy shopping, etc. Please help…

Anything helps 26 year old mother

My name is Ivana, I’m 26 years old and a single mother of a beautiful two year old daughter. Raising my daughter has been one of the hardest, most rewarding things I’ve ever done in my life and will continue to do. However, current circumstances seem to be preventing me from being able to pursue any job, or become self-sufficient. I am a stay at home mom 24/7, while my daughters father works all day and late into most evenings. Because of the work dynamic in our household, I am unable to gain any financial freedom for myself. My daughters father refuses to sign her up for daycare so I can get a part-time job, and claims he cannot be reliable to watch her in the evenings because of his work. Our relationship is one where he is in full control of my every move and manipulative to say the least. I do not receive any money from him, I am grateful for being provided with a place to stay, but at times feel like a live in-maid no compensation, no life, not able to do anything myself for my daughter. With no other child care available for my daughter I don’t have the freedom to work or anything else for that matter. I am unable to leave my childs father because of my lack of financial support for her if we separate. I fear he will take her from me. Situations in the past have proven that my lack of income would greatly affect the outcome of any custodial situation between my childs father and I. My goal is start a savings account so I can start the process of becoming financially independent and figure out care giver options so I can start work and provide for myself and my daughter. In my situation a little help will go a long way, for me and my daughter. I will be eternally grateful for any donation. The fund I’m hoping to create from donations will help me plan for the next chapter in my life where hopefully I can be in control of my financial situation. Having my own savings account would open up so many doors for my future with the option of being able to obtain a job for myself and childcare for my daughter while I work. I am striving to be financially independent however I need a little help getting started. Thank you in advance to anyone who has the heart to help us xo.

Stolen Vehicle, New Baby- Saving for Vehicle

Hey there! I am a single mom of a 7 week old baby. I was out of work for the first 3 weeks of work and besides having to go back early due to needing money to provide for myself and my new baby, things were going great. I had saved up a little over $800 to get a junker to get to and from work and it was actually doing pretty good. Well, a couple of weeks ago, I had the car stolen from a store parking lot and since I only had basic insurance, they won’t do anything for me. I’ve been saving for a new vehicle, nothing nice, just to get to and from work and take my daughter to her doctors appointments every week for weight checks (she was born prematurely but is doing great!) and her wellness checks. It’s been so hard Saving on my own while having to pay $15-20 a day for rides to and from work as well as all my bills while working 40-60 hours a week and also taking classes online to get my Associates Degree in Nursing. I doubt that I’ll get any help, but I figured I had nothing else to lose and would give it a shot. Anything would be very much appreciated and if possible I would love to send a personal thank you note, even if through email. Thank you so much in advance.

Life was good until my job was under new management. I felt used. I have been employed with my company for 4 years. The three months during the company was under new ownership  I had trained the new owners and once they caught on to how the company was ran the unexpectedly rent2.jpg let me go.

Single, hard working, mother of two little ones struggling to keep our home! MY LAST HOPE…

Hi, my name is Allison, I’m a 24 year old single mother and I’m on the verge of embarrassment / shame that I’m here, asking strangers to find it in their hearts to help me and my children… I have 2 wonderful children that I have been raising completely  on my own for the past 3 years. Like many other single moms I get no help from their father, my family, friends or government. It’s just me and them against the world! I was working a full time job and doing okay for us, until about a month ago when I was laid off. As we all know so well, the bills don’t stop coming in when a job is lost. I am struggling really bad to provide for my children and myself. I’m am doing the best I can to find employment, putting in applications anywhere that help is needed, picking up odd jobs here and there, but being from a small town I haven’t found many opportunities. I am currently being threatened with eviction, as well as my power being shut off. with nowhere to go and no one to turn to, I am praying that this request, my last resort, will touch someone’s heart. Any amount will be a huge blessing to me and my children and when I am back on my feet I plan on blessing someone else who finds themselves in the same situation that I am currently in. Thank you in advance for anything you are lead to donate! paypal.me/TaylorAllie

Help my family move back to Pennsylvania

Hello, my name is Kati Harner and I am the mother of 3 incredible chil20180519_203016.pngdren. My oldest is extremely disabled which makes it hard for me to work. Especially with not having very much help or support here in Ohio.

I moved here with my husband to be closer to his family when we found out all the problems in our first pregnancy. I had my first ultrasound at 18 weeks and they discovered that his skull was not developing correctly and preformed a amniocentesis to see if he was even going to be able to live outside my body. The results were inconclusive and my water broke the next day (risk of the amniocentesis). I decided to fight for him and would not let them take him out early. He was born April 4th, 2007. He was missing bones throughout his whole body including his skull, bones in both arms, both legs, and a cheekbone. He was also born with a cleft lip and palate. He has a trach to breath and feeding tube to eat. He is now 11 years old and has been through a lot. My other two children are 5 and 3.

My husband and I are now separated and he moved away. I stayed because my mother in law was a huge help to my family. She passed away and we really have nothing left here. I need to be able to take care of my family. My children are going to need things that I will not be able to give them unless I am able to get the support I need and am able to get back to work. Right now my family and I live off of my son’s social security that is only $750 a month and not enough to really get by. I am a single mother and need to provide for them.

I am trying to get back to my home town in Pennsylvania so that I will have more help and be able to get back on my feet. I have aunts, uncles, and friends that I have had for over 20 years that live there. They all have agreed to help me with my children when I get there.  I would need about $5000 for everything needed to get back. That would include fixing my van so I have reliable transportation, renting a Uhaul, and then deposit and 2 months rent so I can get everything settled there and get a job. Any kind of help is greatly appreciated!! I just really need to be able to better myself and make sure my children are getting everything they need and deserve. Thank you so much!!!

Help make sure Lulu is safe by putting $5 towards a Retainer for a good Lawyer!

Donations for me to get a Lawyer=PICTURES & HELPING PayPal.me/MsVital My Daughter’s father committed fraud then during doing so he made a false report so he can get her back for the continuance of her benefits. They allowed him to get away with it for seven months & after we got it back after becoming homeless we had made our way into our own apartment for transitional housing for battered women… a week & a half later I was lied to in order to make it priority I go to court saying it was for custody taking her away from me & I wasn’t even allowed a hug, was lied to saying they wanted her in the kids waiting room then I waited for my time in court. They took her away without giving reason… real honest reason. I stayed in their hallways choking on my tears – forcing myself to breathe for I forgot how to just let myself breathe. I was there for 3 hours even though that court section was done with all it’s cases right after mine & one other. Just organizing her things. That night I cried myself to sleep at a bus stop when I had an entire apartment to myself. I can’t allow myself to try & think what word to describe that time, but it was unbearable to go to the apartment & see all her things. Her Baby blankets, her babies, her opened & unopened 5th birthday gifts… her cake in the freezer… lots of our belongings. 3 days passed by & I finally went back. I laid down after breaking down slept & went out for a clove smoke. All the kids & moms asked where Lulu was. Well… Her Father became homeless – admitted doing drugs – lots of other stuff – went to one other rehab aside where he is now had known he had a registered sex offender living with him… right next to him in the living room… gave consent for him to be a guardian over me with her when I asked him Tom watch her & care for her when my heart started with problems more than usual & for me to find a better place for us to reside than where we were then. Her Father can get her before I can which is indicated in the Court Report. So…?

Help for me and my 2 children

First I want to thank you for taking the time out to even read this let alone if you decide to help us. I lost my job due to having to take time off to deal with my 7 year old who has been diagnosed with bi-polar. He has been admitted to the psych-ward 3 times. He has tried to hurt himself 4 times and the schools consistently  call me to come get him when he goes through episodes because they do not know how to handle him. I also had surgery and haven’t been able to start work again and all of my bills have fallen behind. I reached out to Tallatoona and they paid my gas bill. I am about to get evicted because I am unable to come up with my rent which is 967.00. I am in jeopardy of losing my car due to not having the funds as well which will definitely not help in finding a job once i am back on my feet. Not to mention other bills like electric, water, car insurance. It just seems like there’s no help in the state of Georgia. I have humbled myself to ask friends and family but no one has been able to help. I am a Certified Medical assistant and in school for my Bachelors in Science as a RN but have had to stop taking classes due to not having the funds and trying to deal with everything else. I know everyone has their own problems and wouldn’t ask if there wasn’t a dyer need.  My family appreciates any donations small or big. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Stay at home mom hanging by a thread

Hello, I’m a struggling stay at home mom. It hasn’t always been like this, I’m a college graduate with a good paying job but due to recent changes in our childcare I was forced into only working weekends. We have slowly been exhausting our savings and with the death of my grandfather we were out of town for a week and that was enough to totally “sink our ship”. Not to mention the air in my car broke and will be 1,500 dollars to replace. I’m in need of about 5,000 dollars to pay our past due rent, utilities, fix our car (I don’t mind riding in the heat, but with two kids in 100 degree temps it needs to be done), and help us recover until I am back at work full time. This is the most urgent of times for our family and I am hoping to pay it forward and then some, one day.

Thank you.

Please Help Us

Hi, I’m a single mother with an autistic 14 year old son. I’m going through a financial hardship right now. My only car needs work, inspection and insurance. I desperately need my car for doctor’s appointments and to pick up my son for school. My son gets a SSI check once a month but most of that goes to rent. My sons father doesn’t pay support which makes things a lot worse for us. He completely abandoned our son because of his disability. I have absolutely no family or friends to turn to. I’ve been to the Salvation Army and all the churches in our area and they told us they have no funding! Due to health issues I’m unable to work at the momemt. I’m trying to come up with $600 to fix my car and to help me get back on my feet again. I’m not looking for a free hand out. If anyone can help us out I would be willing to pay the money back as soon as I can. I’m truly hoping to find some help somewhere. I feel so helpless right now. If anyone can help us would greatly appreciate it. Thank you & God Bless.⚘

Grateful to still be alive.

December 8th, 2017, my husband at the time took me to his work Christmas party. I had 3 drinks while Andrew got completely drunk and belligerent. During our Uber ride home, he started calling people frantically for drugs, of all kinds, and was not successful. When we got home, he went into a full blown rage. He literally ripped off every door, tore the vanity from the bathroom wall, broke the fridge, tore down every picture and mirror, broke every TV, and threw over every dresser. I hid in the bedroom, until he finally came after me. He choked me with both hands until I was blacking out, and was puking. He punched me in my face until I fell off the side of the bed. He dragged me by my hair through broken mirrors then he got back on top of me. He choked me again and I was blacking out and then threw up again and then, it stopped. He wandered out the front door, got in a fight with the neighbors and when I made my way through the front door, he was lying on the ground. I dragged him inside before the police arrived. He pleaded with me again. I DID NOT TURN HIM INTO THE POLICE THAT NIGHT!

My denial of Andrew’s true character, my belief that he would do what he could to change, lasted about one more month. Andrew’s parents took us in for a short time after this assault, provided me with the best concealer and make-up to cover my injuries so my family wouldn’t see, and reassured me that Andrew would NEVER do anything like this apart from drugs and alcohol. And FINALLY, I KNEW DIFFERENT. I knew that I needed protection, my girls needed protection, and I needed to stand up for myself and for ANY woman who would be next.  Andrew is being charged with a 10 year felony for what he did to me.

Andrew’s crimes against me have caused diagnosed extreme PTSD, anxiety, depression, constant nightmares and fear. His crimes have effectively crushed my worth as a woman, mother, daughter, and sister.

I am asking for help to get back on my feet and take care of my two beautiful girls.  I moved back in with my parents and I’m starting over with nothing.  I want to take care of my girls and show them I can handle this but with lack of basically everything they know grandma and papa are the ones paying for everything.  Andrew financially, sexually, emotionally, and physically abused me for 3 years.  I’m terrified to go back to work as a hairstylist because I have no confidence anymore and I would have to be out of my safe place for a long period of time.  I’m starting classes in June to become a counselor but I’m taking them online as I have severe PTSD.  I want to help other women get out of these situations but first I am so humbly asking you for help first.  Andrew left me with no car, no house, a lot of debt.  I give up.  I need help.  I promise as soon as the scars start to fade and the sun shines a little brighter, I too will pay it forward.

Struggling Single Mom of Amazing Little Girl

Hello. My name is Gina and I am a single parent to a beautiful 4 year old girl. I got pregnant when I was 20 and was engaged at the time only to find out he has a major drug problem. We have been battling this problem for 4 years now in and out of court and in and out of rehab. She was only 8 months old when we separated. Since then I have financially struggled more than I ever have in my life. I had to move back into a very toxic situation living with my mom and it has been hell for 4 years. I have major credit card debt that I just can’t dig out of. I honestly just need help. I fall behind on bills a lot since I am not receiving any help or money from her dad. I pay for everything for her on my own. I sometimes go months without paying my car bill or phone bill because I just simply cant. I need to get out of credit card debt and become stable with my bills in order to move out. This little girl deserves the world and deserves a place she can call her own. It is so hard to parent by yourself and I’m just looking for any help with that. So I can pay her medical bills, pay my car each month, my phone and lower my credit card debt. There’s times I can’t treat her to anything bc I have a negative balance in my bank. I just feel so guilty not being able to provide for her like I should. Please help me get her into preschool and give her the best life I can.

Single Mom, in college reaching out for help

I’m not quite sure where to start. I want to start off saying I completely understand I’m not owed anything. I don’t feel sorry for myself. I work very hard. I have two beautiful kiddos. I came from foster care so I don’t have much help help/financial support. I have always made things work. My #1 goal in life is to be the best mother I can be. My parents failed me and I refuse to do that to my kids. I work at a small hospital as a patient care tech. This particular hospital has had budget cuts and patient care techs get called off due to low census quite often as we are not as needed as nurses. This is of course unpaid.

I am starting a rn program in August and I currently have a 4.0. This is only in my pre-nursing sciences though like microbiology,anatomy etc. This degree is going to be it for us. It’s not far off if I just push through this tough spot I can make it. As I said, I am a hard worker. I helped a friend insulate an attic for extra money.  holy crap, that was not an easy task. My kids have what they need but bills are stacking up, mortgage electric, gas etc.

I hate doing this. I feel I’m stupid for rambling like this. I’m not quite sure if this will amount to anything.

I said before I don’t expect anything. I work hard, and that’s what’s going to amount to success eventually. If you can give anything to help, I can’t quite honestly tell you how much I would appreciate it.

My soul is tired, but I can’t stop moving and I won’t. Thank you in advance.

Single Mom with Son With Autism Just Trying to Move Back Home

The title probably looks like the ultimate sob story, and it’s true. I’ll try to make this as short as possible.

I had entered a new relationship three years ago and we had decided to move out of state, away from all of our friends and family. I was granted physical custody of my son and we moved four hours away from everyone we knew.

This relationship over the years became pretty toxic, and quickly. I had expressed my unhappiness recently and broke off our engagement and relationship altogether.

Because my son is on the spectrum, I needed to be a stay at home mom and be ready whenever I was needed and couldn’t work. His school used to call me constantly to come pick him up so I could never hold a job and make my own income.

This was all thrown in my face when I had made the decision to tell my boyfriend I no longer wanted to be unhappy with him and he removed my phone off of the account we shared, disconnected the internet, which this ultimately caused me to have zero connection to the outside world. He would make life a struggle while he was home, but recently he has decided to stay away from our apartment, which makes getting anything my son and I need even more of a struggle.

I have made arrangements to make it back home thanks to contacting a family member through Facebook, however we will not be able to leave for a few weeks and I am struggling trying to make ends meet with food, toiletries, etc (and I would like to be able to turn my phone back on). I come from a pretty dysfunctional past. I have no family or friends I can reach out to and rely on or ask for help from.

I don’t even have a car. We had purchased one at the end of last year, but along with everything else, my ex-boyfriend sold it right away because the car was in his name and it was another thing he could take away from me.

If you could find a few extra dollars just to help my son and I out, we’d be so grateful. I don’t know what else to do or where else to turn to. Obviously, because somehow I’ve found this site.

I am a strong believer in God, karma, and paying it forward. Whether we receive any blessing from reaching out here will not effect that I will come back here in the near future when I am on my feet and can help somebody else in need.

Thank you all so much in advance. I can only hope this can reach one person at the very least.

 

Pregnant mother in need of help

Hello all! Thank you for taking the time to read my donation request.

A few months ago, I was involved in an online job scam. I was naive and fell for the scam. I was working as a teacher and had a great career going for me. I was so excited about the new “work from home” job offer, especially because it was in Healthcare and I was just finishing up my degree in Healthcare Administration.

So, I put in my two weeks and waited to start my new job. I enjoyed the holidays with my family and was ready to begin my journey working from home. That was.. until I looked in my bank account and saw it had a -$14,000 balance. I cried so hard! I was also 4 months pregnant. I tried getting my job back, but was unable to.

Trying to get a new job while pregnant doesn’t go very well. I had some money in savings, but I am running low and need some money to pay for normal bills (car insurance, car payment and health insurance). I am in the Air Force reserves, but I am currently on maternity leave, so I am not making money from there right now.

I plan on returning back to work in September, but just need a little assistance for the next couple months.

Sorry for the long post. I really appreciate any help that anyone can give.

Help after gun violence

Hello, my name is Tiffany. I am a 35 year old mother of 2 beautiful children ages 9 and 1. About 4 months ago there was a shooting at my place of employment. 2 girls were shot and one died. When this happened the business just went downhill from there. I am a bartender so I rely on tips alone for my income. People started going other places, and with no customers, I can’t make money. They cut my shifts down to one morning shift a week ( two if I am lucky) I have been sinking further and further financially with and can not seem to get my head above water. I wouldn’t even ask for help if it wasn’t for my kids. I can do without but they don’t deserve the struggle. I am scared every month trying to figure out a way to make sure my kids stay fed and have a roof and power. They have no summer clothes. It’s 90 degrees here and my son still has to wear pants to school. I have no where to turn. My family struggles just as much as I do. We have never been that lucky in the financial department. I am a hard worker and will do anything to make sure my children are taken care of. It just seems that every time it looks like things might get a little easier, something else happens and I get knocked right back down. Please help. Bless you for anything you can do.

Hello, I am a single mother supporting my son, he is 5 years old. He is living with autism, sensory processing disorder, speech delay (non verbal) He has certain needs that will help him learn and function as far as socially and communicating.

I would also love to take him to Disney or somewhere to meet woody and buzz from toy story, its his favorite movie and it would mean so much to be able to see that smile on his face and experiencing such a social event. I don’t have family or much support and it’ hard raising a son on your own and trying to show everyone he is just like every one else and affording all of his needs to where he can function and make sense of this world.

Recently diagnosed w/ Epilepsy

Hello, thank you for taking the time to read this and for your consideration. My name is Jennifer and I am 45 years old. I have 2 young sons of my own and I was a special education aid that works with children with autism up until about 3 months ago when my life came to a dramatic halt. I had a seizure in the middle of the night and one of my sons found me on the bathroom floor and called 911. I have never seen such fear and sadness in my sons eyes before that night. I felt like a horrible mother and I have always tried my hardest to be a good mother. The ambulance took me to the hospital and I was admitted. I stayed just under a week and was diagnosed with epilepsy. That day changed my life in way that I never imagined. I have always tried to take care of myself and my boys the best way I know, including eating healthy, exercising, no smoking or drinking. Just a basic healthy lifestyle. Well my doctor has put me on medication to help treat the seizures but the medicine has drained every bit of life out me. I have had to stop working because I can’t walk for even 5-10 minutes without running out of breath or feeling faint. My muscles hurt like I have exercised profusely. My doctor has tried adjusting my medication but she can’t seem to find what works for me, but in the mean time I’m not working, I’m trying to pay my neighbor to take my children to school for me ( she refuses because of the situation). I no longer have any sick days or vacation days to use (we get 10 days a year) and my bills and rent are past due now. I am 2 months behind and my landlord is saying he may have to evict us. I am in need of some assistance. Any amount helps, but $1800 would pay my rent for the 2 months so that I don’t get evicted. Please help if you can and any amount will help. Thank you again

I don’t want to lose my children because I can’t keep roof over their head

Can anyone please help me.  I am in desperate need of $3000 so that I will not lose my children.

I am a divorced mother of two young children and an x who is threatening to take them away from me.  Having lost the home I lived in with the children because my x put it in bankruptcy and I got evicted because the house was in his name only and he would do nothing to help me save it.  I was forced out of the only home the children knew.  I had to up root them from everything and move to a place that was the cheapest I could get for what I needed.  I have been fighting to get financial help from my x and have been in and out of court.  He lives rent/expense free because he moved back home with his parents and they are supporting him.  He purposely lost his job where he was making $75000 so that he wouldn’t have to pay me a large sum in child support.  To now be unemployed paying me only $20 a week for two children.  There is nothing more I can so says the court.  So now I find myself stressed to make ends meet and get out of the hole I am in financially.   I was a stay at home mom for years during our marriage and now found myself having to get a job without experience.  I ended up getting a retail job however the pay is horrible and I work extreme amounts of hours and can barely make ends meet.  All I want to be able to do is get current on things so that I don’t have to stress about losing my kids.  My x says that if I lose housing then he will take me back to court and take the kids.  I have tried everything possible to try to get state help but they say I don’t qualify because I make too much.  How is it I make too much but yet can’t make ends meet.  I struggle to feed them, clothe them, keep the electric on, etc.  If I could just get a break and get caught up on things then I could start off fresh.  Could someone please help me out so that I can finally moved forward with my life.  I really need $3000 to do just this.  Thank you for reading and helping me if you can.

Single Mother of Three Please Help

Hello, I am a single mother of three beautiful daughters. I filed my taxes back in February and lost my job at the beginning of March. At the time I wasn’t very worried, because I was sure my refund would have come by now. Unfortunately, after dealing with a bank holding my refund for a month they returned my refund to the IRS who is now saying 10 more weeks before my refund will be released. I did some research and got a tax advocate, because it’s an emergency situation at least for my girls and I. I was already struggling to make ends meet making about $500 every two weeks. My car was repoed and my dads old truck was giving me lots of problems constantly breaking down.  On March 7, 2018 my electricity was disconnected. The bill was so expensive from just trying to stay warm during the winter months. I figured I would be getting my tax refund and pay it and we would be fine. Well, it’s May now and still no refund. For about 3 months now we have bounced around staying with friends just trying to keep going. I am a very optimistic person and I just knew everything would be worked out by now and we would be home, but we are not. My oldest daughter graduates on May 25, 2018 yes in 2 weeks. I have been unable to order her graduation invitations or anything else she needs. I have somehow managed not to have an emotional break down I do not know how. I have tried to stay strong, but now that her graduation is near I’m starting to break. Her face full of disappointment, embarrassment, and sadness. We do not live in a big fancy house , but it is home. It may be falling apart in places, but it is home to us. My children mean more to me than anything in this world and I would do anything for them, and that is why I am here. If only I could take away all their pain and suffering and put it on myself I would in s second. This ordeal has been devastating. Any help is greatly appreciated to help pay my electric bill so we may be able to go home eat a healthy meal and just be home. Also, any donations to help pay for her graduation invitations and her clothes will also be greatly appreciated although,  it is needed as soon as possible. Please, help us I have exhausted all possibilities and not sure what to do next without letting down my family. My community is very small, and not very big on supporting others and only themselves. Asking for help in my community is frowned upon, and they do not keep your personal information to themselves. Instead you are talked about and the whispering never stops it’s very embarrassing and sad.

Last Hope

Photo Collage-20180511_162757.jpg

This is my beautiful daughter. She is the reason I am asking for help. Her name is Charity.

I am asking for help to keep a roof over my daughters head as well as my own. A few years ago I left her father after he pulled a gun on me and my oldest son. My sons are grown and living on their own and Charity who is 15 is the only child I have left at home. She was diagnosed last year around this time with Aspergers Syndrome a type of autism. Once she was diagnosed her world finally fell into place and she started to thrive. About 10 months ago I fell head over heels for a man and we started our life together. He was good to me and my daughter loved him. In December I was taken off work due to an injury with my neck. I was receiving short term disability but it was just enough to help cover the necessary bills that we shared, food, rent, electricity, and I lost my car. In March my short term diability stopped and was supposed to transition over to long term disability. After 6 weeks of waiting the insurance company denied my claim. During that 6 week wait with no income we got behind on rent for April and there was an eviction hearing on May 1. Once my disability was denied I applied for unemployment and have been looking for a job, but unemployment denied me as my doctor had not released me to work and I have had no luck with a job. My boyfriend decided to bail and leave me with 2 months rent to pay, no money, and no car. I have had to send my daughter to live with her fathers parents just to make sure she can finish out the school year. She had to leave her cat which is her best friend and she is barely speaking to me. My sons are helping as much as they can but being young men, 23 and 21 years old, they are not well established. I know if I could get enough money to pay the back rent and fees along with June rent, and maybe enough money to get a decent cash car I could reestablish myself and have my daughter home with me where she belongs. I have tried every channel available as well as asking for help from family but I have had no success. I am facing a homeless shelter in a matter of days and thats only if there is room. Please understand that this is truly my last hope and I pray that someone will want to help. Right now my back rent stands at $2700 with fees and court cost. June rent would be around $1000. I am not sure how much it would cost to find a reliable car but I would appreciate any donation towards that. I thank you kindly for your consideration and generosity in advance.

No VICTIM, Ambitious Single Mom Needs HAND UP

Thank you for taking time to scan through my post.

First off, I do not consider myself a victim in any capacity.

I am a single mother to three young children.  I do not have much support but that is my fault as well as others. I have recently lost very close people in my life. My mother, my father and a half sister who was very loving.

I started a work from home business from my smart phone. It honestly started out of desperation but turned into a challenge. It was successful somewhat because I made enough to get by for the first year but then due to issues. I have fallen on hard times again.

I am asking more for a HAND UP instead of a HAND OUT.

I need at least $1,000 to pay current rent and $120 for my two bills.

There are a few outstanding current loan and wheelchair and walker, care taker, etc bills due to my broken leg over two years ago, that have been holding me back. These are for over $4,000.00. They cannot be dropped due to the nature.

I also have been trying to find a way to pay my car insurance and new registration, title switch and fees and a 2004 car that we were fortunate enough to get. This will cost around $250.00 total.

Additional phone bill and necessity expenses would run about $400.

Whatever you can do would be greatly appreciated.

I promise to pay your generosity forward by how I raise my children.  Such as the effort I put into helping create productive leaders, empathetic individuals and helpful members of society. I will also continue on my journey of business and education and I promise I WILL DO THE SAME someday soon.

Thank you and May the Lord TRULY Bless you.

Single Struggling Mother

Hi, my name is Darlene I’m 28 years old and never did I think I would find myself asking for a hand for help, but when you’re so use to helping others its hard to focus on the help you need for your own family. I’m currently unemployed not by choice but by lack of luck but regardless time, I like to help in anyway I possibly can at my church with the community food pantry, just to be able to dedicate my time and hand to help give back to my community and working the youth department at my church, I love to teach in enrich children with knowledge and watching them grow in it. But the struggle gets real when I wake up in reality not being able to do much for my own family. I have a son that is 6 years old very bright future and I know he will become something great. I wish to do more for him to be able to buy him clothes new shoes, I feel worthless when I even look down at my own feet and to look at old shoes torn and to face pain every morning and night from worn bras because I can’t afford to buy a good one because a lot of the stores don’t have it in my size and sadly I can’t even afford the breast reduction surgery nor do my insurance cover it. So I go every day wishing things could get better from not enough money to put in tank to do more for my church. I just find myself stuck inside with my son and then I face him with questions like “mommy can we go somewhere?” but where can I take him with no gas. Nowhere. I moved away for a better life, for better opportunity but when you have so little income you can’t go far. I have goals to published a book, to buy my son new clothes for new school year and to pay off school loans and just start over. I just wish to wake up one day to a different day of an opportunity of change. I just wish for a helping hand, its so hard to lift yourself up mentally when you’re so broken physically and emotionally from reality kicking at you. Something, anything helps to get back on my feet, I’m grateful for the small things. Thank you in advance.  May donate to paypal account.

Bills: Rent, medical.

Hello, my name is Samantha. I am a single mom of two beautiful children 7 and 3 who is in dire need of some help.

I have tried applying for loans but my credit is bad from my ex using my name on certain accounts. Once i am financially stable I will pay off my debt but that’s the last thing I’m worried about.

I do not receive any funding for the state or from my ex because I feel like there are other families that need more help than I do.

But recently I was severely sick with the flu and was out of work for two weeks. I am employed full-time and anyone willing to help I would be willing to pay them back with payments that we can agree on monthly.

My rent is 650 and I am behind two months which doesn’t include electric. And about to get my family evicted because of it. I also have a hospital bill  from being ill that I need to pay before it hits my credit. I also really need the money for groceries for the kids and I and money to sign my daughter up for a school sport.

I have never asked anybody for money because I’ve always been a hard-working woman with morals and don’t want anyone to feel like I’m taking advantage of them.

Please know that I am very genuine and am not wanting to use this money for anything else other than what I have explained to you.

I don’t have any family or friends that I can ask and I have applied at every loan company and Banks and they will not help me.

I’m asking for a loan of $2,000  which will cover my rent in groceries and then hopefully when I get paid on the 15th I can start making payments with the hospital. The other expenses would be used for  getting new tires for my car I have studded tires on in that is illegal in Idaho and is the only way my family and I can get around right now.

Honestly $1,000, or even $650 for one months worth of rent would be a huge help for my kids and I.

I would truly appreciate the help. I would be forever grateful and I would definitely pay it forward, and also pay you back.

Thank you for your time and this amazing chance to explain.

Newly Single Mother, but finally Nobody’s Victim

Let me start this by saying that I have never in my life asked anyone for help of any kind. Before they passed, my father taught me to do for myself and my mother taught me to do for others.

In complete desperation and as what feels like my last resort, I am sharing my story with all of you now in the hopes that, for the first time in my life, I might receive a miracle in the form of financial assistance.

Growing up in a loving but fiscally strapped family, I started working at 15 because I realized I was going to have to do it on my own.  I was always a big girl and depression and self-esteem issues had gotten the better of me. With a few student loans and 60 hour work weeks I finally graduated college at 23 years old with a degree in social work. I immediately went to work helping others as it seemed like the right thing to do. Shortly after graduation, I married my college sweetheart, an Indian man, around my age, with a strongly male dominated Punjabi family. At first, he seemed to love me regardless of my size. I was pushing 400 lbs. and felt like an inconvenience to myself and to others.  One day I just decided to make a change in my diet, lifestyle, and most importantly, my self-confidence. Over the next few years I lost over 230 pounds and started to feel great about myself. I changed my self through determination and perseverance without the help of any drugs or self-harming fad diets.  I had stopped drinking completely and felt great about myself for the first time in a long time.

I found out I was pregnant the same day I found out that I had contracted HPV. My husband harshly insisted that I was cheating on him or that I already had the virus before we met. I swear on everything that is Holy, to this day, he is the ONLY man I have ever slept with. I let him convince me of the impossible, because I just couldn’t accept that he was cheating. I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, lost my mommy weight, and life went on.

This was when my husband’s own self-esteem issues prompted him to lock me in an emotional cage for several years. The verbal and mental abuse started small but gradually had me feeling like I wasn’t worth anything to anyone. I blame no one but myself for allowing this man to control my heart and mind.  Even though I was working to better myself, my partner was working to keep me subservient and under his thumb.  To compound things, the doctor said I was unable to have children and my husband would constantly bring this up as yet another reason why I was worthless to anyone. I don’t know why, but I let this go on for years. He also NEVER took a liking to his daughter and ignored her completely, even swearing she may not be his even though she shares his Indian features.

About 2 years ago my husband quit his job and convinced me that he was building a web-based project that would keep us financially stable and allow a better lifestyle. I decided to support him in his decision wholeheartedly. He said he needed to fly to New York to meet with his business partner as well as possible investors for the startup.  After a year-and-a-half of paying every Bill and buying every meal, and several trips from the west coast to NY, I began to inquire as to when this project of his was going to start to pay off. He became enraged and verbally aggressive and it scared me enough to shut me up for a while. A small time later he told me that the deal had finally gone through and he had to leave town again to finalize some paperwork. I never expected to live a lavish lifestyle or for him to take care of me but he kept assuring me that this is what the near future held for us. I believed every word he said even though in the back of my mind something just didn’t feel right. I was excited about being able to relax and maybe take a week off for the first time in years. I tapped into savings once again and bought what would now be his fifth roundtrip plane ticket in 2 years.  He returned a week later and said that things were taking longer than expected. Deep-down, I knew he was lying but let it go.

Two months later, after my daughter left for a friend’s house, i asked him for an update on the project. He got irate and frustrated and I’d feel like it was my fault.  He then told me I would have to purchase him another ticket to New York and I explained that my savings had been pretty much tapped.  He jumped up from the computer and stormed out of the house taking the car and screaming about how inconsiderate and thoughtless I was to nag him about his dream. I bought it…

Sobbing, I went to my computer to connect with a few friends from back home that could hopefully cheer me up. I clicked on an open tab and saw his Gmail account wide open in front of me. I had never snooped or tried to go through his stuff, even when I felt things were not adding up. I began looking through what I thought was his work emails and I was stricken with horror and disgust. He had NOTHING but hundreds of interactions with webcam companies, pornsites, craigslist personals and to top it off personal messages to actual prostitutes he had been sleeping with in New York. There was no website or project or investors or business partners… Only proof of a cheating liar that had drained my bank account while acting out his darkest perversions with countless local craigslist and Backpage women as well as multiple prostitutes all the way across the country… I decided at that moment that I was no longer going to be a victim and this was going to end today.

After much soul-searching and coming to terms with many harsh realizations, I decided a nice hot steamy shower would be the best thing for me. While I was washing off years of lies and deceit and trying to find the courage to escape the situation, he came home to find his emails opened and scattered across multiple tabs on the computer screen.  I really didn’t expect him to come home that night, as I would have chosen to handle the situation much differently. He entered the bathroom screaming about his privacy and began blaming and belittling me, but it wasnt working this time. I wasn’t going to be his victim. I turned the water off, looked right in his face and told him it was over. I meant it too.

I had never been punched in the face before. He hit me so hard in my eye that I was seeing stars before my head ever hit the bathtub. When I came to, he was restraining me physically and spent the next hour holding me down, screaming in my face about what a horrible despicable nagging ingrate i’d been, how i was not worthy … blah, blah blah … u get the picture. He was enraged and I was scared for my personal safety. l decided the best course of action would be to placate his anger long enough to find the right window of opportunity for me to leave. I was not sticking around for any more abuse of any kind, i would sneak out after he went to sleep and return with a few large male friends to escort him out of my house.  My nerves were shot and I poured myself the first glass of wine I’ve had in almost a year. He began acting really sweet and overly thoughtful trying to compensate or something… I really don’t know what was going on in his head. But I was completely Resolute in the fact that this relationship was over. He disappeared into the kitchen and returned with another glass of wine. That was the last thing I remember of that night.

When I awoke on the floor nearly 20 hours later I looked around and noticed things were missing from my house. My daughter was safe at a friends house, but had left countless messages on the answering machine. Frantically, I jumped up and began to piece things together. Almost immediately I noticed that the bottle of my Border Collies medication was laying empty with the cap off on the kitchen counter. The doctor had prescribed her “acepromazine” to help sedate her after surgery.  In a daze, I began to stumble around the house until I looked out the window at our fire pit. I froze in disbelief.  Sticking out from the ashes I saw pieces of fabric and familiar patterns charred to nothing.

While I was asleep he had burnt every article of clothing other than the ones on my body. He torched my laptop, family photo albums, my journals, all of my keepsakes and college memorabilia. As my vision became clear, I saw that my house was almost completely bare inside.  Everything of any sentimental or monetary value had been burnt while I was drugged and passed out on the floor. Thankfully my daughters’ room was left untouched.

Unsure what to do, I contacted the police who arrived to fill out a report.  Of course, I told them I wanted to press charges and they told me to make a list of all the things he had destroyed and provide any receipts for anything of value.  My eye was blue and swollen shut and it was obvious I was still feeling the downers. The police officers seemed bothered by my situation and spoke like there wasn’t much they could do until he popped up on his own. He had taken the car which was in his name and I also noticed my purse was missing. I had a friend give me a ride to the bank only to find that the $4,000 I had left in savings had been emptied out that morning. As with most married couples, we had a joint account. In my subsequent visits to the police station they seemed reluctant or unable to do much in the way of tracking him down.

Feeling destitute scared and helpless I sat on my porch staring off into the woods. I live pretty far from the city and rarely get unannounced visitors. I heard a car pull up into my driveway and grabbed my Louisville Slugger… I’ll be damned if I was going to be a victim ever again. I was sure that it was him coming back to beg forgiveness or some other twisted decietful headgame. I harnessed all of my rage, anger and years of emotional torment into the strength it would take to beat this man into a pulp. At that moment I thought I could not be any angrier…

Well the visitor was my landlord who we had been renting from for over 4 years. I kindly put down the bat and through my swollen face let out a smile.  I had no idea my situation could get worse … and then it did.

My landlord informed me that my husband had neglected to pay rent for 4 months and had hidden all late notices as well as an eviction notice that apparently was posted the week before he left for his last trip to New York.  My landlord could take a look around and see that my story added up and although he empathized with my situation, stated that he still needed 4 months back rent and that with the eviction process already underway he still has to look out for his interest. I totally understand this and realize that these are my problems and nobody else’s to fix.

That being said, I need financial help right now or i’m homeless. For the first time in my life I asked family members and friends to help but no one is in a position to offer any kind of financial support. My daughter is currently staying with relatives so she doesn’t have to deal with any more sadness.  Surprisingly, as I write this, I do not feel shame in asking strangers for help at this moment. It is the only recourse I have left. I’ve worked hard my entire life and am proud of the person I am. I’m proud of standing up to abuse, proud of losing 200+ pounds the healthy way, and proud to say that I’m no longer entangled in someone else’s web of lies and deceit. I’m proud of being the best mom i can be, and having an amazing child that, despite hardships, is full pf love and light.

I want to thank all of you that have read this far, from the bottom of my heart, for at least hearing my story. If anyone has the means and the willingness to help in any sort of way, I offer my deepest thanks and promise that every penny will be used to point myself in a positive direction towards once again becoming a proud self-sustaining and productive part of people’s lives.

I have opened a personal bank account and linked a PayPal to it. I am the only one with access to my finances now, although, I have no finances to access at the moment. My rent is 750 a month and I’m 4 months behind. I found a used vehicle that can get me to and from work for $1,200. The only clothes I currently own are tattered used free box items and are not suitable for work. I have never had expensive tastes and can stretch every penny… I just have no pennies to stretch.

So, this is me asking for assistance. Once again, thanks for hearing my story and God Bless.

Pregnant and homeless

I am a single mother of one soon to be two. I have epilepsy which causes me to have seizures and makes it hard to keep a job when it acts up.  I grew up in foster care and have no family. Due to the lack of after Care services available through the state I have been unable to obtain my own housing. And with the instability it makes it hard to manage and control my condition. I live in Boston but currently sleep in a bunch of outside places. My oldest daughter I had to give to her paternal grandparents due to lack of housing. I want a home but don’t have the funds to get an apartment but will be able to keep it once I get it. I want  my kids and a sense of normalcy. Please help me. An average one bedroom in Boston is 2000 a month nothing included.  Plus first months last and security to move in.  Please please please help me.  If I do get some funding I may move to make it more affordable. Who knows. Here is my link.

Single Mom Trying Very Hard To Stay Afloat

My Story

My name is Kassidy. I’m 23 years old and live in Toccoa, Ga. I don’t have a guide or help with any friends or family right now and don’t know where to turn to. I lost my mom when I was 7 years old and my dad just always puts his women before me. After my mom last away my family distance themselves from me because my dad got custody of me and he lived in South Carolina while my mom and I lived in Connecticut. My father wasn’t the best father figure in my life. I have a lot of insecurities and “daddy issues” which is how I end up getting screwed over all my life. I have a great heart and everyone takes advantage of that.  I have a 2 yr old daughter named Rose and I am currently 8 months pregnant with another daughter. Rose father is a mommies boy and doesn’t know how to man up to his responsibilities. He lives in South Carolina and rarely sees her. The father to my unborn left us to fend for myself back in January for a woman he can have his way on. I got really tired of him cheating on me while I was pregnant with his baby and told him to leave.  I work at Autozone Distribution in Lavonia GA, 40 hours a week and making $16.00 a hour. I live alone with my Rose and no other help besides Wic. I pay all my bills by myself including rent $500, water, gas, light, car payment, car insurance, daycare $100 a week, phone and maintaining to keep food in the house. I’m due July 3rd but have a strong feeling I may have to have a c section June 26th due to the fact my daughters father stepped out on me and gave me a STD that may pass to my baby and I don’t want that at all. I just need a help. I need a blessing. I work my butt off pay check to paycheck just to maintain my household. My father doesn’t help me at all and he’s all I know around here, he’s all I have left in this world. Through my job I have short term disability but it’s only going to pay 60% of my pay while I’m out. I plan to work up until my due date just to get as much money as I can.  I only get 6 weeks off maternity leave and I plan to come right back after. I pay at least 2,000 dollars worth of bills a month and that’s not going to cover it while I’m out on leave. I am scared of falling behind and need help please. It would be very much appreciated.

I believe I should get a donation because I’m not out here, sitting on my butt just looking for free money. I am working really hard and I don’t plan to stop, I just need a extra hand for when I’m out of work and not making as much as I need to keep my bills in line.

Fleeing Domestic Violence!!!!

I am a single mother of 3 children. 6,5 and 3. I was in a domestic violence relationship with their father for 6 years. I found the strength to leave that relationship and put that in my past. He is now currently still serving prison time. I then started to find myself and was enjoying my life with my children. I was on the right path! I was doing everything I was suppose to be doing plus more! I had a nice home, good job, i was going to school, and taking care of my children without help from anyone! I recently purchased a new vehicle but it was only insured with plpd. About a year in a half ago, I started dating an old friend that I have known for years. He seemed like the perfect man. I introduced him to my children and they loved him! He helped me out so much in the past year and some months! In February 2018 I then started noticing strange behaviors in him. Long story short, turns out he was diagnosed with schizophrenia. He stopped taking his medication. I was completely unaware of his mental illness. I encouraged him to get back on his medication, which made him very upset. I tried to support him and it started becoming very draining. I then started becoming apart of his delusions! He claimed that I was out to get him, some things I just can’t even wrap my head around because it was nonsense. Mind you, he lives walking distance from my home. I tried leaving this man my multiple times. But I became terrified of who he was becoming based on his psychotic state. I watched his mental illness take over him slowly these last couple of months. One thing I can say is that he has never been physically abusive towards me which is why what happened was a complete shock for me. On April 20th 2018 I found a Molotov cocktail bomb placed behind my vehicle. I reported this to the police and to the fire department. They told me there was nothing they could do about it because it was not a case since it was not even attempted to be lit! I asked my ex about it and he told me to call the police. He made this situation seem like he had nothing to do with this but in the back of my mind I knew it was him because I keep to myself and my children and the people I do have in my life I get along with. So I did inform the police that I believed it was him. A week later on April 27th, he was in a delusional state. He was messaging me on Facebook things that did not make sense to me. At 3:30AM I heard pounding on my front then back door. I believed it was him so I did not answer because I was terrified. I called his family telling them I believed he was pounding on my door and to get him away from my house! Mind you again, he is walking distance from my home, literally 5 blocks down. His family informed me that he walked in the house and started losing it! They told me that he had gloves on and that he was playing with gasoline! I immediately called the police! Not even 10 minutes went by and I heard a loud noise. Glass being shattered. I panicked, I looked outside and I seen lights. I thought this was the police but when I looked out my back window my truck was on fire! The police came as well as the fire department. Police rushed me and my children out of the house! I was so scared to go outside of my house because I did not know what this man was planning on doing to me or what was going on in his mind! We made it out of the house and Thankfully, It was just my car that was lost out of all of this and not my children or myself! I park right next to my house and by the grace of God the fire did not reach my gas tank in time to cause an explosion! Police found him hiding in his car trunk at home. He was  calling me the devil and saying they were all devils! They took him to jail, but they released him the same day! They claimed they needed 72 hours to charge anybody or else they HAVE to be released, being it was Friday at 4am they did not have anyone to investigate the case until Monday!  I left my home! That Monday I went to community mental health and petitioned him to get help with his mental health, the judge granted it, the police took him to the hospital, doctors evaluated him, and said he seemed fine that day so they had to release him too! The case is still being investigated, So he is still out here on May 7th. I am taking all the right steps to make sure my family and I are safe but I do not feel safe anywhere I go and I have not went home. I put a 30 day notice in. I do not have a vehicle now, therefor I am not working. I am at a safe place with my children, far away. It feels like I lost everything I worked so hard for! And now I am in debt! I am super stressed and super worried, but I try to keep strong for my little ones. Anything would help, and would be greatly appreciated! If you cannot help, please share my story! Donations will be going towards bills, a vehicle and a new home.  I made a private email just for this situation. Feel free to email me based on this situation if anybody wants more information on anything in this situation, also if you are somebody that has been in a dv relationship, have questions about being with somebody with this mental illness, advice, somebody to talk to, or even just an ear to listen! Please feel free to email me

A redhead, a teen and a 6 toed cat – Even Misfits Need a Home

A few hours ago I thought I had really reached a low so I came to this site. Not really believing it was going to be any more than an experiment in catharsis.  I was trying to watch my sarcasm while still being witty.  I was trying very hard not to let  in too much emotion because, well because,  regardless of how this turns out, I’ve got to keep  it together.  Even if by doing this and coming here and if by some miracle I get the help we need to not lose our apartment, I’m still a single mom, my son still has 2 yrs left at home and if he sees me fall apart, he’ll be scared. Moreover if I do fall apart, I don’t know that I’ll be able to pick myself back up again. Anyway, I was very proud of the narrative I had created. I’ve been told many times I should write a book.  I was after several hours, because I kept dozing off or stepping away, I was doing a final review. Making changes, checking punctuation, I’m just very anal that way. Well… that’s when it happened… those magic words flashed across my screen.. to my complete and utter horror, (oddly enough, after everything that’s happened, I kid you not, .writing this part is what is making me cry, figures.) You guessed it! Do Not Turn Off Your Computer. Windows Updating. And just like that, all my work, all my exercise is cautious decision of what to disclose, what not to disclose, all my well thought out puns, 3+ hours worth of work GONE!!! I actually yelled “WAIT!!! NO!!!” Because we all know how effective that is… I would love to recreate it for you. I really would. Even if you couldn’t offer financial assistance… Oh man,

So with that you will now get my deflated, super readers digest version, of my story requesting your financial assistance because I’m tired, I’m worn out and of all the cheap shots that life has thrown my way lately, well that one was just mean and I don’t have the heart to do it again.  Hopefully you’ll consider me for donation anyway.  If you, do I will be thankful.

Ok rough time all the way around the last couple yrs. I have fibromyalgia, my dog died, I got diagnosed with lupus, my, then 15 yr old son, tried to kill himself.n August of last year I took FMLA to stay home and be able to care of myself.  Things were fine for a while but right around the 4th month of leave I let my landlord  know I would be a couple of weeks late on rent and he said no and had us evicted 2 days after christmas.

Flash forward, thanks to a well timed tax refund I was able to get us an apartment.  However, not long after losing our home, I lost my job and my car. We’ve got a roof over our heads but everything is super tight. Then last month I got notification that the child support payment would be delayed by  6 wks, and the tailspin started all over again. We just got a new landlord at our new apartments and she’s been refusing to work with me at all most days. Anyway, I got her $1200 by Thursday, so even though she has the eviction and has already sent the writ to the constable, I’m really hoping to make this work.  I was able to request partial assistance from the church and they spoke to her and she agreed to wait until Wednesday because they vote on assistance onv Tuesdays. I’m hoping if by some random act I’m able to have her that money either in her office prior to arrival, She will agree to let us stay  I am asking for the following :

$2000

$908 May Rent (Plus Taxes & late fee)

$851 June Rent (Just trying to be proactive and get ahead  of this and want to be prepared if there are anymore delays

$241 For electricity, food and general living expenses.

After losing all my work,  now really exhausted and falling asleep at the keyboard realistically I only have a few hrs to get that together.

I will try my best to edit this request as, I really did wish to provide the whole story but if I don’t get this in front of the powers that be than I won’t get any help of any kind.

Thank you again for reading my story and I’m so very sorry you didn’t get to read the other one

 

Regards

Help for me and my son

Hello my name is Erica Willis I’m currently going thru a really rough patch in my life right now and i just want to get back to where i was. I’ve always had a job since the age of 14 and I’ve always been able to keep afloat even after i had my son Elijah(3) but as of lately I’ve hit a wall of bad luck. A few weeks ago my car was acting funny so i took it to someone to get it fixed during this time I had to catch rides back and forth to work which made me late A lot(sometimes missed days).. the day that my car was suppose to be ready I get a call saying my sons dad when to jail (which is my only babysitter I trust) later on that day I find out the guy that was suppose to fix my car actually made it worse to the point it was undriveable. I had no chose but too pull the car to someone’s house near by (currently trying to find a way to get rid of it or fix it which my cost 400 to 600 dollars) 2 days later I got fired for being late too many time.I HAVE NO RELIABLE FAMILY or spouse I’m literally doing everything on my own. I just paid rent with my last check but I’m extremely stressed because i don’t know where to go from here I have no job no babysitter no ride and no money no phone but I have Wi-Fi thru my apts also no food or money to wash at least my sons clothes. I really don’t know what to do..i really need somekind of kick start im usually good with making something out nothing that was something I pride myself on but now I have nothing to work with…I just want to be in a better place in life for my son he doesn’t deserve to be going thru this with me.

It’s twins!!

I’m a soon to be young mum.

Upon finding out that I was pregnant, I was thrilled. With being told that my body wouldn’t be able to cope with having children just weeks before, I was confused and worried but knew that I was going to make this work for me and my baby.

A few weeks down the line, my scan shows that there’s twins – how am I meant to do this!?

I work a full time job but my wage is quite bad, only £5 an hour, and I live by myself so all of my money goes on bills. I’ve had to cut down on my hours at work now, I have a condition which causes my heart rate to rapidly rise to around 140bpm and my blood pressure to suddenly drop, and having hypremesis gravidarum makes this so much worse.

I’ve been so lucky with finding stuff for the babies for cheap but the right pushchair never comes up at the right time.

The doors to my apartment are extremely narrow and a side by side would never fit through, I’ve measured most in the shops to see but nothing is ever a good fit.

I’m on the move a lot so a travel system would make my life so much easier. The dream one is £1,500 but that’s way over my budget and I’ll never be able to afford that, so I’ve found a similar knock off version with just the toddler seats and two car seats for £509 and it seems like it will be okay.

Single widowed mom of toddler

My name is Laura, I’m a single mom of my soon to be 3 year old daughter. Her father passed away when she was only a month old, his family isn’t interested in being involved and I’ve been left raising her completely on my own. I have been doing ok up until this last month when I had problems with my car, resulting in a few weeks of unexpected unemployment. I’ve managed to get my car back on track but I was barely making it before this happened and now I’m struggling. I really didn’t want to have to resort to asking for help, but I don’t know what else to do right now. I’m looking into advancing my career in hopes of  moving to a better, safer neighborhood eventually, but I’ve maxed out credit cards for rent and utilities and I’m at a loss for food and gas money.  I don’t expect anyone to be able to help me, but I don’t know what else to do right now. I’ve been skipping things that I need for her benefit but I’m worried that she’s going to be next before I get caught back up. Anything would help, I feel like a total failure that I’ve tried everything that I could and it’s still not enough, but I have to try and ask as I’m trying to better my current situation and look to advance my future to prevent ever being in this situation again.

Please Help Save My Daughter

20170822_142526.jpg

I need $7000 to be able to get my daughter back. Please help DCF is going to file for adoption even though I have complied with every bit of the case plan finished in your management and my mental health evaluation drug evaluation passed every drug screen did another psychological exam . Because they do not have a home or car I will not be able to provide for her. I also got a job as they wanted me to do. This is not what my daughter wants please help.

How this happened:
I don’t know where to begin. My name is Ann Bannon my daughter’s name is Alivia Bannon.

I believe in July DCF started receiving calls saying we were homeless we were staying in hotels and in the car when necessary my mother called obsessively long story short.

DCF said they were going to help with rent help us get a place. I found numerous places. I looked online for the application that they were talking about in regards to emergency assistance through DCF they said it wasn’t online that they took care of it. We never received assistance I start to get teary-eyed because my daughter my eight year old little girl is my heart. I’ve never heard her appearance turn neglected her she’s been my world and our dog stand I understand they had to investigate the first 33 allegations were found not supported!!! all those cell homeless and broke I was so grateful that I was going to get my daughter back but to my surprise there was 13 more.

I made bad decisions I did I took her I shouldn’t have she got my car and she didn’t want to go with my mom I didn’t understand the ramifications of my daughter going with me. I ended up in jail for 48 days I lost my car I lost my dog and still I receive no help.

I have a case plan and money out of my pocket that I don’t have. I’m homeless sleeping on someone’s couch my next court date is February 28th I’ve completed the majority of the case plan. It’s just been me and my daughter since she was born no one’s ever called dcf on me my mother broke up with her boyfriend and out of the 46 allegations altogether only 5 remain.

I’m only allowed to see your one and a half hours twice a week at the Child Advocacy Center. We did not deserve this I promise you I’m the mom that takes the words to the floors so she gets 100% on her spelling test I’m a goldfish into her spelling words she went to a private school for 4 years.

The only reason we were in the position we were in homeless is because I moved in with my aunt who has four kids of her own only because my daughter was being severely bullied and after 6 months almost 7 months a bowling at Seacrest I decided to switch schools for her she wanted it so bad to be with her cousins and she deserve to be happy after having such a hard ear not being picked one playing games outside being told her she wanted to play with the other girl she would have to climb a tower being hit with a swing. She’s swang on a swing every single day by yourself singing this is your fight song and crying to figure out what’s going on she did it she did not want to tell anyone and only got out a little by little. That is the reason I moved to my aunt’s it wasn’t a permanent solution we were supposed to stay at my mom’s find a place after school ended. I was unaware that my mother and her boyfriend broke up. After 3 days in her home she told us to leave at 8:30 at night. Dear Sir or ma’am is how we ended up in the car and hotels I had almost 1800 saved but one night at a hotel was 200 and trying to find a place with my daughter it was hard harder than I thought to do by myself.

I tell you all this because if you by chance hopefully read my dependency case just say all these terrible things said about me at least hear some truth in my words.

What am I asking today it’s whatever that so many times I just need first last security rental assistance what they told me that they were able to provide so this wouldn’t happen. I want to go to court on February 28th with a place of my own. Please help me figure out who to go to. I’ve asked by Pathways case manager with no response Heather the DCF investigator and her supervisor but with no prevail. My mother has my daughter I don’t have a drug problem I didn’t use my daughter I didn’t neglector all I want iswas my family back are dogs gone because of my mistake please help keep me in my daughter together.

Please help sincerely Ann Bannon I’ve asked my Regional Council never responds. I don’t have the money for private family attorney. I can do my case plan I just need help with a place to live for us. If we got that from the beginning I still have my daughter my dog my car my savings. And we wouldn’t had to gone through all of this we just needed a little help. Hope that was promised but never provided. I’ve reached out I saw your email address and I’m still trying even though it seems hopeless.

Thank you,
Ann Bannon

Single Mom needing financial assistance while caring for mother with Cancer

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. My name is Jessica, I’m a 31 year old single mom to a beautiful 6 year old daughter. On April 18th 2018 our world was turned upside down. My mother was diagnosed with stage 4 Lung cancer (Squamous-cell carcinoma of the lung that’s widely metastatic/spread through the body- bones, liver, and soft tissue). We were informed that it is not curable but can be treatable with radiation and chemotherapy. Surgery not being an option as it is too advanced. The cancer is very aggressive and fast growing which means she will need aggressive treatment.

My beautiful mother turned 50 years old on the 22nd. The following day on April 23rd, we started Radiation Treatment that is 5x a week for 3 weeks, driving 40 minutes each way. Once Radiation is completed she will start Chemotherapy where she will need 6 cycles over a 4-5 month period.

My heart breaks seeing my mom in so much pain and not being able to care for herself, leaving her unable to do everday tasks. I’m grateful that i can be there for her emotionally and physically, bringing her to treatment, doctor appointments grocery shopping, making meals, laundry, cleaning etc..

To do these things and make sure my mom can get to her treatments, I had to take a leave of Absence from work which is unpaid. As a single mom, I was living paycheck to paycheck, not having any funds set aside or to fall back on. I’m now struggling to figure out how I’m going to pay rent, utility bills, car payment, insurance, gas and food on the table for my daughter and I. I’ve never asked for help before but im at a loss of what to do and how I’m going to be able to provide for my daughter financially and also the emotional support during this difficult time. Anything to help us get through this hardship would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you again for taking the time to read my story.

 

Help single mother to provide her daughter on doctoral studies

My name is Monica. I’m a widow with three children. We are living very difficult. Although I work for at least two and sometimes three jobs, my incomes are very low. We are living as tenants and most of the money we spend on paying our bills. Often we don’t have enough money for food and medicine. Though children are exceptional students, and whenever they have free time, they work different jobs to help keeping our home budget. In addition to all the problems, I still have that pays off the loan, which took my late husband. I’m late with mortgage payments sometimes, and the bank charges a huge interest.

My daughter still managed to graduate on time English and Linguistics on University. And in addition to the scholarships that had, I had to pay the high costs of studying and living in another city. But I was not complaining because she ended study on time with the highest grades. With the recommendation of professors, she applied for a scholarship for doctoral studies in the United States. She got a scholarship for PhD studies at Central Connecticut State University, because of excellent grades and scientific papers she published. But I haven’t money for her trip to America and additional costs. I can’t help my child to fulfill her greatest dream. By continuing her education, and work at a top University, she would get a chance for a much better life, and she would afterwards financially help her brothers.

I’m desperate because I can’t help her.  With hard work she has reached a great success, but due to a lack of money, she would not be able to deal with work she extremely loves and for which is particularly endowed with.

My only hope is help from good people. I would never ask for help in this way if I have any other option. But I don’t have.  I want to thank everyone in advance because you read my story. If you can help me, I will be forever grateful to you. Because you will do the most important thing for one mother, you will help her child. I will be grateful to you forever.

Bad decisions

It has taken a lot to write here but this seems to be my only option… I have always helped people in need and never thought I would be asking for help.

I am a single mother to a teenager.  People around me and my child do not know my reality.  I have a home and a job, everything looks perfect. However in couple of months this will start to change. I have made some bad financial decisions and ended up with loans that are exceeding my monthly income, leaving no money for food and rent. All my savings are gone.

I do not have a supporters who can help me.

I know this might not sound as bad as some other posts here, but I am hoping that there are people who are willing to help me to get out of this situation. I am activly searching for solutions, doing extra jobs as  much as possible. However it seems not to be enough. Right now I have 10 Euro in my wallet for the next 10 days.

I am trying not to loose hope yet but I am at a breaking point. I would really appriciate any help you can provide.

Single Parent In Desperate Need!! Will Pay Forward

 

I am a single parent who has fallen on hard times, loss of job then have a job that only pays me a third of my worth. I have been affected by Hurricane Harvey and Fema denied me twice along with my own insurance. I was had to pay for roof damage out of pocket (funds I couldn’t spare). I am behind on my mortgage and am in fear of losing my house. I need to make repairs to my house, car repairs, help my son stay in school. I have just caught 1 bad break after another. I know it says if you ask then you will receive. I am in desperate need of a guardian angel to help me and see it him his or her heart to invest in me and my son’s well being. I am in need of $50,000 to get my life back in some kind of order and I promise I will pay it forward. I will donate my time to charities and I eventually want to open up some sort of non-profit as well. When I was in a better financial state, I paid it forward and always have been independent. I know that we all fall down but God gives us the strength to get back up. Any assistance will help me and my son out. Please hear my plea. I have been praying on this on a daily basis.
