About Housing Grants

My story is quite simple..
I'm a young single parent ..
I. Attend school for a trade in the medical field and I lost my job due to car probelms andmy child catching the flu..
I had to restart my classes and get a newcar shortly after having anew car I got a job again. I did not work for almost a month n a half so I had no source of income.
I need help with paying rent so I do not become evicted.
I have quite a few bills piled up and help from no one literally..
I pray on my problems but I know prayer alone will not help me.
I was told there are grants available for women with children.. ( I only have one) I NEED ANY AND EVERY BIT OF HELP POSSIBLE.
PLEASE AND THANK YOU

About Housing Grants

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???

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.

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....

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!

They all sit home all day eat and watch tv
