Hi,
I don't really know what to say except, I just turned 20, and I have been staying with a former manager of mine and his sister. It has come to a point where they may lose their apartment if I'm not out by February. I've been living house to house, and state to state since I was 2. This past summer I was living in my car for 2 months because my stepfather was physically abusive. Since then, I have gained anxiety and have frequent panic attacks. My biological father just died in November and my other family wants nothin to do with me since I refuse to help my mother raise her 3 kids. I'm freaking out because I can't go back to living on the street. If anyone knows where I may be able to go for help, please let me know. My email is Mcasano_13@live.com
It would be such a great help of someone could help me out. I'm running out of time and I'm so so scared.
in response to mommyonamission...I am really confused.
Your sons father refused to drive you to work, so you had to leave the house for a while until you had money to pay for his schooling???? Now he doesn't want to allow you to move back in???
Hi, me and my sons father have a house under the USDA rural housing development fund, my name isent at the top of the deed because i have no income or credit. Our situation is a touchy one. i am also disabled i cant drive..and he refuses to take me back and fourth to work, causing me to lose money so i had to leave for a bit so i could come up with the money to pay for his schooling services. a week turned into a month BUT i never stopped seeing my son. id come get him...id come stay with him and etc...he is now trying to say that i moved out and trying to force me to leave. how do i take care of this issue? I believe that if i leave he should leave...he got the house under the impression that he was housing me and my son as well.
Hello
I am 65 years old and just lost my business due to the economy. I had to walk out with just my debts and the locks were changed the same day. This is over a year ago and I have been living on my social security check since, thank god for the check. I have to pay over 1,000 a month for rent and I know that if I could buy a house the payments would be less. I can fix a house if I could get a fixer-up, but how can I get one and then I could have my pride back and fix it up. Does anyone know who could help to get me in a house I can fix up and save on rent so I could have some kind of money left at the end of the month? Joe

in response to M.W.M....you could always rent the land to someone to farm or grow hey then you could easily donate the money to any charity or organization that would suit you. Farmers are always looking for a place to graze animals, or if the land is wooded and sizeable, rent it out as hunting land. You can still write off your income as a donation, and you can rent the land cheaply to a farmer who may need the deal, and that way guarentee at least some income to your charity, and benefit a local farmer too! Good Luck!
in response to youngwidow...if your mother stold your id claim it as lost and go through the process of getting another one, if your daughter is 4 she can start school at five, but don't wait, there may be free preschool in your area, call your local elementary school, and be very polite and ask for assistance, explain that you are a widow forced to live with a difficult mother. Perhaps, just to get you started again, apply for a job at a local preschool, or daycare, where you can take your daughter to work with you. You must get that ID though if you plan to get any government help. I know advice is easy to give, and life is hard to live, especially when you are going through difficult circumstance you cannot control, but hang in there, at least you have food and a roof, keep a clear mind, and your goals in front of you and just start plugging away. Good luck!
in response to GiggleMom...The best thing to do is be completely honest. If you lie or hide things and they catch you, you will likely loose more than what you are afaid of loosing now. I myself do not have a lot of money and we scrape each week to get by, but I always force myself to tell the truth when applying for things. Even if I am afraid that we will not be eligilble for something we need, and belieive me the temptation is there, but in the end the truth keeps you out of trouble, and I also believe it allows God to bless me and help me, more than he would say, help a liar, and we do just keep on hanging on, so it must be working.
My wife and I are buying a house this needs alot of work on it before we can move in it. The house loan is a land contact. We have being paiding on it for a year now. I had a storke and find out that my kidney are failure. Now I'm disabled and can't work on the house plus do not have the money to finish it. My wife and I are paying rent and a house payment that we can't afford. Are credit is bad so, we can't get a loan to fix the house. I'm a Veterans with bad credit trying to stay above water. This is the only way that my wife and I can be homeowner. We need help to fix the house and get out of renting. We live in KY and do you guys know of any help we can get?
I was in a business. Built from the ground up by my father. A Highly decorated word war 2 hero who spent 2 and a half years in solid combat. He never saw the inside of a building except to clear it. He was gone for almost 5 years and left on his first born daughters 1st birthday. He returned when she was 5, 1945. Mom waited...God bless her. He was sent home because they pulled 300 plus pieces of chrappnel out of him and spent 6 months in an Italian Hospital. Anyways, enough about my hero I lost in October, business partner, friend and dad. My mom the year before and the loss of my 38 year old nephew in September. Since 1999 when we closed our business...I have learned the skilled trades of construction, opened a power washing business (which just fell to the economy), road for 3 years in an armored truck, carrying weapons and delivering money, drove cab for 3 years, learned to clean and seal roofs, build and refinish decks and I spent 20 years on a volunteer fire department in our city. I am in the process of becoming a Pastor and hope to get involved with a ministry. I have applied for anything from our school system, library, street department, sales (which was my thing), I have done home siding, remodels and have been the best at each item I have ever done. Never to get "Fired" or "Let go". Times are bad. I just turned 50 and applied at a place that starts at $7.75 an hour. I play drums and have tried to think of a way to make some cash with my talent I have had since 5th grade. I cannot get a break yet I walk in faith each and every day praying 99% of my day. 20% of it on my knees. I have been re Baptized and have been Baptized by the Lord in the speaking in tongues. I have raised a 21 year old son and a 14 year old daughter and witnessed the stillborn death of my daughter as my wife almost hemmoraged to death. I don't smoke, steal, drink, do drugs or even look at other women...that's somewhat a lie. I'm an easy going guy and loved by everyone. I can not get a break. Oh yeah. for the last 9 years I managed a Christmas tree lot. That was our Christmas as I made $3000.00 but they can't use me anymore as sales are down....on Christmas trees! Hello!! I have loved my wife for 25 years, for ever faithful even after her affair (short lived) on me...forgiven. Jesus took lashes for me, I can handle an affair. I am a good, will work my ass off for any man and will do anything but I cannot get ahead. Yes...I blame our Country! 100% It's tough out there and I pity anyone that is in the same situation as I am, especially this time of year. God bless. We....Americans.....We will make it better come hell or high water. I will lead us straight into the battles of hell if I have to.....My daddy did! Amen! You damn right there's pussies out there and I think we all know who we are! I'm not one of them! God bless America- God bless the meek- God bless the women....
I am looking for employment and have been everyday since I lost my job. I'm in Richmond,Va. I have some college experience and I did graduate high school. Also if any one knows of any Christmas assistance programs that I can enroll my children in I would appreciate if you can give me that information. Also if any one have leads on job please please respond. Thanks so much!
If you're a helper then help, if not then don't help. People that are in need help are asking for generosity not your judgments. It's embarrassing enough to ask for help we don't don't need or want your sarcastic unpleasant words. You that do have it all money, homes, cars your life; can lose it all in 1 minute. So seriously you're blood isn't gold.#just sayn
Men and Women need to be responsible is 2012. Education should come first and trying to better themselves for the future before they decide to have children......
Some of these stories on here are about several adults living in a tailer and they are still requesting assistance.. Rather confusing if you ask me as if you have 5 adults living in a house, how is it possiable they are all disabled? They can't work and pool earnings together? Come on!
in response to Bee's Knees...I am ONLY talking about the men! Good women get bs by men that are not going to take care of there family. They need to get fixed, sister
Of course, I am NOT referring to those who did plan well, trained well,worked hard & just met with unfortunate events in life.
However, there are just too many that start families without getting a skill,training & a decent job first.
I hope people will take your advice to heart.
Unfortunately, on here most will not.
Some get mad when we give them "common sense" advise.
But, to the one that is wise enough to heed good advice-they will surely benefit.
in response to lawyer1...That being said, I agree with ekikaseven about giving common sense, self-help advice.
You can usually tell someone who is sincere from someone who is not by their response to that type of "help." We have gotten many negative reactions to this, or they ignore it. A man recently asked me for $500,000!!! Many who message here are in foreign countries and assume all Americans are loaded.
in response to lawyer1...I agree that people should try to change things for themselves and I do not approve of the victim mentality, but everyone needs a little help from time to time. No man is an island and we are all here to help one another. Life does not always go as planned.
in response to lawyer1...A little more compassion and a lot less judging welcome here. You never know what people have been through, and what has brought them to their circumstances. I'm sure there are some people who are not completely on the up and up, but throwing the baby out with the bathwater is not appropriate.
After reading all of these comments/stories, I am truly shocked to read that everyone has the same story. My advice.... stop having kids when you can't support your self! In addition I would like to say that if you are making $500.00 a month you must be working in a retail store, which is NOT good when you have a family to support. I suggest trying to get into a profession that you will benefit from, i.e... Law firms etc... Teach yourself or find someone that will.
Also, for those on disability, I am not questioning the level of "disabled" here, but come on I have seen plenty of so called "disabled" people collecting assistance and manage to be in Atlantic City every other weekend spending the tax payers money.
THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS THAT NO ONE OR THING IS GOING TO CHANGE YOUR LIVES EXECPT YOURSELVES.
in response to Shhnazzy...try your arkansas regional planning commission ( also known as your state weatherization program they will not remove the mold but will confirm it sa mold
I am a 54 yr old disabled mom of two daughters, 12 and 13. I had my spouse removed from the family house due to physical and emotional abuse. Served him with a restraining order for a year. I do not want anymore drama!! My girls and I are waiting for Bank of America to modify our loan, but now with my spouse gone, it will have to be very low. I know a HUD home will accept only 30% of your income as mortgage pmt. Has anyone done this? Should I call B of A and "let the cat out of the bag", letting them know my husband is gone? Or will that just be a wake up call for them, and they will kick me out?
I will be 50 yrs. old next may, I never moved away from home because I always went to work and helped out my parents as they helped me not be alone on my own. When my Mom got sick in 2005 I quit my job to stay at home to help my mom, She was on dialasis. She passed away 2007 and now I am staying home to take care of my dad. He is 71 yrs old, has had a quad bypass and going blind. I take care of all of his needs, we live on is social security check. I tried to go to work outside the home but my artrites in my legs and hands wont let me, I also suffer from burcitis in my arm, Many times in the year I have to go to the dr, and they want me to pay 100.00 some agencies I have tried to get help from, Tell me, I am the wrong skin type, not a mother, and therefore there isn't anything out there to help me. My sister pays 500.00 a month on rent, and we pay the rest of the bills, We are on food stamps but they tell me that dad has to pay me so much a month, yet if he gives me money then it goes to pay bills because we need to do so. then the amount they want him to pay me is being subtracted by the amount of food stamps they give me. I dont know what to do or where to go cause like I said I am not a woman of color and I am not a mother, and I even tried to get on disability for myself and I dont quailify for that cause they said I need money to go to a specialist and in return will be told to them if I am sick or not. duh what money do I have to go do that and all my problems the dr the diability gives me only wants to take one xray of one problem not all. They even go as far as to say that they would pay someone else to come in the home and take care of dad but they wont pay me to do it. I know how to take care of dads needs better than some stranger.. My sister cant keep paying for our rented home. she is a mother of four. Life isn't fair for me, and all what I have done for my parents , I cant get anymore help than what I do.

Hello, I am a Army Veteran in Richmond, VA who needs help on numerous things concerning benefits. Most important of them all is housing. I tried applying for the HUS-Vash voucher program and by the time I was called off the waiting list I was working earning $34k per year and what I had to pay for the home outside of voucher was entirely too much! So I did not take it. My credit is not great enough to acquire or use my VA loan for housing either. Tried that. So now my income is lower than the $34k I did earn and I know that there are veterans grants out there for veterans to buy homes and also own businesses. Can someone please let me know what forms, programs and eligibility requirements? I am receiving 70% disability, on Vocational Rehabilitation program and about to start receiving BAH from the GI Bill according to the new Act that came out months ago. halljae@hotmail.com

At least some city has been listening to me since I’ve been putting information out like this for over 20yrs. Thxs. 4 all concerned about these issues that I felt strongly about for almost 50yrs.

The endless senseless mindless slaughter of all creation is so sick in its own taking. Butterflies millions murdered each year, raccoons, armadillos, walking sticks, slaughtered on our nation’s roads and highways without any real preservation in mind. There was a time anyone could see 2 to 3 butterflies of different varieties floating above plants, bushes or shrubs at any time of the day. So they ask,” when a caterpillar becomes a butterfly will the caterpillar die for good?” At the human rate of thoughtlessness we are making butterflies extinct, are we human at all? Ask the animals, and they will teach you. Speak to the earth, and it will tell you. Every one of these will know that the hand of Lord has done this.” JOB, chapter 12, verses: 7-9. From a deaf ear; someone says, “People are like termites they eat the main structure and they crap it out.” From the great toaster society. Fossil fuel, butterflies, wild cats, and most of creations creatures should be seen in twilight futures. For more than the lambs in the forest. Who sais you don't need money is a Liar and less.
in response to Shhnazzy...I have read your post, my husband and I have had same type of problems as well. We found mold in this trailer too. We saw a great product on jimbakkershow called A.S.A.P. You can go to www.jimbakkershow.com and look it up. This stuff is amazing! It's all natural and you spray it on the mold, it will not return. You can also use to fight bacteria,fungis ect in your body. Keeps you from getting the flu, even safe on babies and pets.
God Bless
in response to Shhnazzy...HI we had that happen we had to walk away with nothing the health dept would not let us go back in. You can take a sample to your health dept. we got so sick black mold is not something to mess with you can get help finding a new place. If you find out that it is black mold you may have to walk away with nothing like we did. if you need any more info please get back with me. god bless

I am a 35 year old mother of 3,4, and 9 year olds. When our grandmother died of leukemia, we moved into her mobile home 3 years ago. Since moving in, we have been constantly ill. At first it was constant allergies. Then it became repeat sinus and bronchial infections. Now we constantly have the previous problems, but have developed diarhea and stomch flu symptoms. I found a lot of mold on the wall in the childrens' wall last week when rearranging furniture. I think it may be black toxic mold, but have no way of knowing. Does anyone know of a foundation that can inspect our home at no or little cost? I have called around, and all places I have spoken with charge hundreds of dollars. We live in Arkansas. Thank you and God bless.

Hi everyone...i am a 24 year old widow with a 4 year old daughter. My husband passed away in a vehicle accident 3 years ago and I am trying to get my life together but I am stuck. I had my own place and business with my husband but after he passed away i had to stop working and move back with my mother. The living situation is too crowded and i need to make steps forward in our life. I was unaware that there was assistance available to me until recently. Unfortunately, I dont have a car and I work for my mother who pays me at her will. She owes me a lot of money. I end up watching my child all day because there is a waitlist at all the daycares and they are too expensive. I would like to move out, buy another car, go back to school, put my daughter in school and work but I am stuck in my house all day. I went to social services and the lady i spoke to was so mean and rude she said that she is raising her eyebrow at me...she asked why my daughter wasn't in school and when i asked her how i can register her she said "do i look like the board of education?". She asked me for letters from my last landlord but that was over 3 years ago. And she asked why I didnt bring my id. I am also a resident of the us, but my mother stole my identification and won't return it to me. Nobody can help and my little girl is going to suffer from this if I don't start progressing. Can someone please give me a word of assistance? I am really stuck.
I am a single parent of three boys ages 10, 12, and 14. I have worked hard to get where i am at this point and still striving for more, right now Im just living to get by and keep me and my family happy not only that a roof over our head and also struggling to keep these high bills paid. I have applied myself through school and found a job that I have held down for the last 4yrs, to be honest where Im at its not a career but i am sticking with it until I get better btu its giving me the background and the knowledge as well as the experience so Im happy to have that. Me and my children want this so bad we actually been looking already. Unfortunately the money I have saved is'nt enough to afford any of the homes that we were interested in. My children are very good children who want more out of life just like I do. They are very bright and I see that they are working hard towards a better future. My three young boys are the average kids who are becoming teenagers that are starting to understand life and living. I just want to be some where better and somewhere that we will feel safe and comfortable, not only that my kids want it also (they speak on it daily). where i reside now I have been living here fo the last 5 goin on 6 yrs. before I moved here I lived in a 2bdrm apt. with my three boys for atleast three yrs. before that my boys and I was living at home with my mom. : { do anyone know of any programs that offer grants to first time homebuyers in the city of detroit, mi
Thanks for the oppurtunity for taking the time and reading this, I appreciate it even if its just that
I am a 51 year old disabled with systemic lupus, sjrogens, scleraderma, crest syndrom, severe social anxiet disorder and, anxiety, depression. I have always had a love for horses, they are the only things that understood me, talk to me and love me unconditionally. I was i a car accident 1994, had to endure 2 neck surgeries, 1 low back surgery. worked all my life as a waitress before then. I raised my 27 year old son alone, met my 18 year old son father 8 years later had him, and became disabled at 35 years old. I do reciece disabilty and ssi. My 18 year old son is beginning to rebel, I am so sick all the time,from the illnesses and, abuses all of my life. I do not know how to handle this any longer? I have endured so much mental, sexual and, physical abuse from 2 years old on up to adult hood. I am so lost!!!!! It just came to my memory that my mothers brother raped me at the age of 5 on up to 13. I was raised with an alcoholic mother, kicked out of the home at 16 years old and, because I raised with my mom, I did not learn how to take care of myself. I did eventually learn but, I do believe that the illnesses do come from the abuses I have endured through my whole life. I did not have the opportunity to go to school like most people, I was always scared every single day for my mother. She married 3 times and, I did not have a real dad because all the men she married abused me, my real dad wanted nothing to do with me. I have grown up into adult hood with all the memories of the abuses, except for the moms brother raping me. My mother sister would be little me all through my growing years she, would throw me against walls, lock me in closets, not feed me treated me like an enbasal all my life. She would be sure to tell me sister right in front of me that she was so smart and that I was not very pretty or, smart. my sister ate it up because she was wanting the attention all children deserve too...My sister and, I are 13 months apart she, took over the mother role and, i would listen to her and, believe everything she would tell me. She would call me horrble names she was a lot stronger than myself ahe would ridicule me, BTW still does to this day and, bullies me. I never really did learn how to communicate properly because, of being so frieghtened to voice my thoughts affraid of sounding stupid. I am stricken with so much anxiety every single day! su I am always scared! I am such a wimp any more! I am very embarrassed to be me! I suffer with lupus sores all over my body, in and out of doctors all the time. I never really have had a normal life. I feel so lost because now at my age being sick, I do not know how I am going to be able to live. My 18 year old son is beginning to rebel, I have raised both of my children the best I knew. They were never abused I made sure of this! I was also very very protective of them beings i did not want anyone to hurt my children But, even though they do disrespect me very much...All I ever wanted was for them to be raised right and to not have to worry as I have had to all of my life. I cannot believe I am still here to be honest? I would have thought I would have passed away a long time ago? I do not like the fact that the child support is ending and I now have to figure out how I am going to live the rest of my years? I worry that the rest of my life is going to be in and out of shelters? I have been made fun of all of my life by my sister, today I still get made fun of because of the lupus sores and, the horrible anxiety disorder...No one has the right to judge another unless they have walked a mile in thier shoes...It is not nice that people are so mean....I am just one little person, i have so much to take on by myself, I am just getting sicker because of the worrying every single minute of the days. I am very concerned for my children, and my 1 year old grand daughter :( I am unable to help them, I have never really had a life of my own. I have always lived my life for everyone else and what they wanted and still do...No one helps me financially but they all think they can tell me what to do. I really am hoping some one will have a heart to listen and, desire to help me? Im lost! Im scared, I do not know where to turn? I am not a beggar, I never have been. I am begging and, how humiliating this feels but, I do not know what else to do? I have such a big belief in GOD but, I think HE may be a bit too busy for me? I am not thinking right I know? I need help! Please someone there must be people in this world that want to help because they care and, not because they want something from helping? I have grown up all of my life to have very low self esteem low self confidence. Even though I am told I am attractive I do not and, never did feel this way. I have always been caused to believe that I am un worthy. I suppose being abused would cause anyone to feel this way....I think if I was not with all the illnesses I would maybe feel a bit less worried? I only make $800.00 dollars a month now that the child support has stopped and, I am unable to afford to help my son through college and, take care of our needs. My car is not doing too good, I will be car less real soon, am unable to afford much of any thing for my son or, myself any longer. I am so affraid of losing the only good therapy I have whuch is my horse :( I am hoping so bad someone is out in this world that will understand my situation? Someone that will help and, not cause me to feel obligated,that I must do something to get help.. worthless? I do feel that my whole life has been stolen from me because I have always been vulnerable, always affraid someone is going to hurt me. Although I really am a loving person, I am overly nice to people because i have grown up to be this way for the fact when being raped and, molested I would think if I was overly nice to these men that stoled my body, mind, and, soul would not do the things they did to me? I do not know if this is why I am this way? I do not know much of anything as to why I am the way I am to be honest? I have been feeling very resentful lately, aswell as scared, worried and, concerened. I am a human being with feelings just as anyone else. I do deserve to live a nice life just as anyone else but, I am just now realizing this, I am having a hard time coming to terms with this though. The problem is I am unable to afford a nice life for my son and, myself any longer for the fact that I am too sick to work any longer, I am so depressed every day, I am so embarrassed every day. I have no dignity or respect for myself, I feel so ashamed. The smile you see on my face is because, when with my horse this is the only place I feel loved unconditionally my horse gives to me the sincere love I so deserved all of my life and, still do, for this is something human beings have taken from me my whole life....I am thanking in advance who ever takes the time to read my story, although this is just bits and, pieces of my story, I am thinking who is going to want to read even this far?. I am so very very lost.... possibly GOD will send an Angel? I do love you JESUS, please put into the heart of an Angel my situation JESUS? Please do not leave me JESUS? All I have ever wanted was to be able to feel as though I do matter, to be and, feel sincere love from others. I was never able to make alot of money to invest for my future in case of an emergency such as mine. I did not know who to turn to growing up? and, I am still in this same condition today! especially at my age what a place to be? I am unable to get a job to afford a life for myself....This is absolutely pitiful! Utterly disgusting! Humilliating! I feel like crawling in a whole to hide but, I cannot do this where would this leave my children? Please Help my sons my grand daughter and, myself? I would love to someday beable to help someone in my shoes because I know what people like me go through every day of our entire lives! I want to pay it forward! If only I could find help for myself then write a book and get support in every way to beable to feel good enough to go out to help others, this is my dream but, I have never mattered therefore how could I make this dream come true? I have to beable to believe in myself firstly and, not knowing where I am going to live or how I will beable to afford a life for myself? makes these feelings worse even of myself.....I have put myself on companion sites in hopes of meeting someone nice to love and, love me back but, I am affraid to meet any one because of how I have been treated my whole life. Who would want me? I am unable to have sex because my illnesses prevent this because of the pain issues mentally and, physically. I wouldnt mind GOD giving me a companion in ife to love me for the right reason and, not just for the sex. I am needing a companion that has the desire to take care of me financially and sincere true caring love. Love is the greatest healer of them all...I wish everybody was in understanding that sincere love is what everybody needs...Thank you who ever you are? for taking the time to read my story GOD BLESS each and, everyone of you....
