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?

How do I donate the use of land to Military Veterans and disadvantaged for free?

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!

They all sit home all day eat and watch tv

 in response to Bee's Knees...   all im saying is men need to love and care for there wife and children. men need to be responsible

 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

 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...   I agree with you.

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.

Thank you so much for sharing this with us.

 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.

 in response to montedreams...   If someone is UNABLE to take care of their family's needs, we can't go around cutting their nuts off.

 in response to lawyer1...   Men that are unwilling or not able to take care of there family NEEDS there NUTTS cut OFF!!! That would solve the problem!!!

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.

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 am 53 years old and a single mom .with my income i cannot buy home or rent a home in the market.I,m living with my daugther now .She is married and has 2 children.It is so painfull when you have no place to live .I,m a full time hard worker,.I just need a smal house to live by my own.Government should have programes for low incomes to buy a house. if somebody give an aidea how ?

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

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 58 yr. old woman in need of repairing my foundation and roof , but can't find work to make the repairs I would gladly do my own work and pay if I could just get a job. I'm not wanting a hand out just a helping hand . If any of you know of someone who isn't using all their wood just send them my way.

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....

I think its amazing what you are doing and Im praying for God to bless you and your husband for taking in your neices and nephews. You are changing the lives of these babies by caring enough to step out of your comfort zone and put your own hopes and dreams on hold. Here are some organizations that may be able to help you. Please keep your head up and know that there is a cost to doing the right things, but the result is priceless. Be Blessed friend

Hello,
My husband and I became relative caregivers for our neices and nephews on December 3rd 2010 due to a very severe auto accident. The children were placed into states custody following the accident and my husband and I immediately took all the necessary steps to care for them. We had to attend classes to become foster parents in order to keep them. We finished the classes at the end of Feburary but we are still awaiting DCS to complete their end to start recieving a board payment for the children. They are in no hurry and they do not back pay. When we got the children I had to take a leave of absence from my job of 5 years to stay home with them. We already had 2 children of our own ages 6 and 10 and the other 4 children were all younger at ages 19mos, 4, 5, and 6. The only child of the 4 old enough to attend public school was thhe 6 year old. We checked into childcare for the other 3 but it was far too expensive, espically since I was already paying after care for our 2 children. So now I am home and my husband works as much as he can. Our accounts are getting very low and we are paying 900 dollars a month in rent (apartment) with no yard for 6 children. We would really love to purchase a home that is big enough for our now very large family. Is there anyone out there who offers assistance with this?? We have learned in the past few months that the right thing is often a very hard thing to do. Thank you

WHERE DO I GO TO APPLY FOR A GRANT? WHERE TO I FILL OUT THE APPLICATION?

i need help get a place of my own and i have 2 kids 2 and 3 i need help with houseing at the time i have no income

we are a familly in need living on my moms disability have 4 children myself and my mom and my boyfriend who is filling for disability haveing tryed everything in our home town looking for someone to help get our gas turned on or to donate space heaters for the winter

I have recently bought a house in oklahoma and it was the first brick 2 story back in 1903 (in this town). I have heard the government sometimes gives grants for historical properties. I am looking for info. if anyone can help me please.

My daughter is on SSI disability and my son inlaw may loose his job as he was just diagnosed with uncontrolable epilepsey, his first wife is also making a threat to have him arrested because he will be unable to pay for child support, he has no bennefits at the job he has so this leaves him without medical ins or any short/long term disability so he too has filed for SSI disability so they are playing the hurry and wait game!
Their dilema is: They own a mobile home that has nickle and dimed them to death with their central air unti and has also nickel and dimed me this summer as well! With as much money as I have given them we could have bought a new unit but hind sight is 20/20!
They have tried to walk away from this mobile home as the payments are too high for them with only the one income now and speaking to an attorney they were advised not to as it could cause some felonies on their record????
So it looks as thought they are stuck in a 16X80 mobile home with no air/heat AT ALL! It actually blew out black smoke one morning and just quit!
I have been told there are grants out there for low income families who can not afford to fix something so expensive as this?
Can anyone help me??? We are fast approaching the cold season and I have no ideal what they will do if their pipes freeze with NO HEAT!!!!

Hi I am a mother of two and step-mother of three. My husband has been laid off for nearly nine months now. My family currently lives in a 3 bedroom single wide mobile home on family land. The youngest of my children ( 5 year old) has always had allergy problems but recently it has gotten worse. We have found mold in the bathroom walls and I am convinced that this is what is making my child so sick all the time. We have tried to get rid of it in every way. We are unable to tear it out due to funds to replace and to be honest the whole house is falling down around us. We would like to buy but with the economy in its current state there is no way we can get a loan let alone actually afford it but we Have to do something for healths sake. I was told we may qualify for a housing grant but am at a loss as to the steps I need to take and what I am looking for. PLEASE someone HELP!!

 I am an 18 (soon to be 19) year old,half italian and half african american male with nothing really going on for me in my life. i currently live with my step-dad because my mom threw me out of her house a few months after my mom and step-dad split up. i just received a job, and my step-dad wants me to out of his house because he wants to force me to grow up. same with my mom. they know that im very mature for my age, but they think that i should've been living out on my own as soon as i turned 18, even though im still in high school. ive been working since i was 15, but never saved up money with my very, very, low income teenage jobs. so im wondering, being the age i am and not having a stable place to stay, where can i get some help or aide to get the money for an apartment with me having very little credit or maybe even no credit at all.

 in response to Andrea23...   You have no idea what someone else is going through until you have been in their shoes.  People have many circumstances and problems that come up.  Life is hard.  Keep your close minded opinions to yourself.  This site is for help.  Not criticism.  Just be happy you have not had the kind of trouble that many people in this economy are going through.  You don't belong in this discussion and are obviously on the wrong website.

I am a 39 year old mother of 2 children and a fulltime college student.  I am about to lose my home.  Any information on help to get a grant or loan to get my past due mortgage current would be appreciated.  I have bad credit so I can't borrow money through banks and the payday loans interest rates are so high I can't seem to get them paid off from month to month and stop using the pay day loans.  I appreciate any help and sincere advice. 

I am new to this and i dont even know if it will be read by anyone...haha but its worth a shot

i need the same kind of help.  if you hear anything please please let me know!!

Hi, I am an 18 year old, full time college student who has currently been skipping from home to home trying to keep a roof over my head. I did fairly decent in highschool finishing fourth in my class and obtaining an honors degree, all while playing three sports and doing community service with the National Honors Society. I also currently have a 4.0 in college.I'm not sure what exactly I would like to do in the future but, I know I want to be a doctor. I am in desperate need of a grant to allow me to get an appartment because my Parent Plus loan was denied due to my father's current bankrupcy. If anyone has any information that may be helpful at all please let me know so I can continue my pursuit of knowledge without worrying about whether I will not have a house tomorrow. I appreciate everyone's time and pray that this helps. 

Hi ,

My name is Victor Chevalier I am a Navy Vet,

I recently lost a home and land due too back taxes owed. The land and house was auctioned off , I was given an offer to buy the house and land back at a reasonable amount, but I do not have the money available. Can I use my VA Housing Loan to help me pay for this ? Are there Grants available ? This home and land is sentimental , it was willed to me through my great aunt , grand mother and then mother who are all passed away, I had fallen on hard times and have a family of eight to take care of ,but that was a few years ago I'am doing much better financially now but still need help and some advise.

Sincerely

Victor

I am a 36yo disabled man with a wife and 4 children.  I am an amputee on both feet due to Diabetes.  What little money we receive, my disability and wife's child support, does not go far at all.  I pay my bills and we live on about $200 the rest of month.  I would like to find somewhere I can get a grant or help for home repair and improvement.  I am in a wheelchair a lot and need a ramp(s) built at entrances to our house.  Also, house was built in 1902, and it has ASBESTOS siding on it and really need to get it replaced for health reasons.

My email is nerikson69@yahoo.com

 in response to supreme...   

First of all you haven't mentioned what type of business it is that you want to start.

Secondly take a look at your state's website.  Often states will start new grant programs for those that want to start a business - the purpose of this is to help improve the economy in the state (or more local area)

Thirdly as someone that does grant research I have to ask you - how far have you gotten with your business so far?  Do you have a business plan?

It is really so hard to say when not know what kind of business it is that you want to start?

I want to start a business an need grant an loan money. Can anyone help me out please

hi i am vanessa i am 52 years old i have land in mississippi that i would like to build a house on i can use some of the land as coladeral i need a grant to build the hould i have a builder. tell me what to do

I need help findings a grant for a single parent trying to get a home built with very little income and six children. I am currently going to school at Ashford University Online. If you can please help.

15.  With a kid.  Should have listened to your parents.  They are telling you how to raise a child, because you have no clue.  You want money to move out?  Sorry, your welfare check comes out of my pocket.  Yet, you want MORE.  Tough.  Close your legs, stand up and get a job.

I am a mother of 2 that has recently seperated from husband.  I have multiple house repairs needed.  My main concern is a roof.  Is there any help out there for low income families that provide help with roofing expenses? 

Im pregnant with my third child and my husband is layed off. At the present time he is caring for my two year old daily while I am the bread winner. I will be soon off of work due maternity leave and NYS disabilty is only 170 per week. This is not enough to pay my rent. I dont know what we are going to do when I go on leave. There is no assistance to help married people or people that need to stay home with their children for the 12 weeks. It is so sad but I may force to stop breast feeding and return to work in 2 weeks or I may be evicted. If you could tell me how can I get assistance from the government. Thank You

Im a 20 yr old girl trying to pay my own way through college but full time tuition and rent is hard. i cant do it by myself.im not disabled and do not have children but i need some sort of assistance. are there any programs to assist students with bills and low income? Someone with info please email me at bschulte@gardner-webb.edu

I am a veteran and I am curently a MIL TECH not eligible to recieve Student Loan Repayments.  I was wondering if there were any grants I could recieve to help pay off my student loans.

Single Mother, who lost her job of 17 years four years ago.  I've used ALL my retirment, facing bankruptcy AND Foreclosure (after applying for a "modification" - and after SEVEN MONTHS Still no info from my mortgage company) on my home of more than 20 years.  I need HELP!!

 in response to teenmommy...   I would seek counseling for both you and your parents to get everything out in the open and address the hard feelings between everyone.

 in response to teenmommy...   

Honey, you are 15 -WITH A CHILD!

Think about it. Maybe if you had listened to your parents to begin with, you would not be in this position. Grow up and accept responsibility for your situation. Stay in school, get an education and take care of your responsibilties. Oh! and get some birth control. 

im a 15 year old mother, can i get help with housing? my parents are controlling the way i raise my daughter and im tired of it.

 in response to young...   Young, I suggest you enroll in a college with a dormitory. Apply for federal student aid. Go to social services and apply for food stamps and welfare. I did all of these things myself and I was able to earn a BS degree in education. Also, if you do become a teacher, your federal student loans are forgiveable. Do NOT go to an expensive school. A degree is a degree as long as your school is accredited. Make the most of your college years: choose a lucrative profession that you will enjoy doing for about 30 years.

I have no sad story. I'm a divorced single mother of two girls. I teach in a public school. I would like to buy a home for us, but I am unable to come up with the down payment. Is there a grant that can help me? I'm sure that with a lot of good budgeting and belt tightening I can make the monthly mortgage payments. I just need some down payment help. Thank you in advance.
