Blind Tags

I never thought I could resort to this, but I am begging for help. I have a 2 year old baby. Last week a man shows up at my house (that I was renting from my mother.) And he says to me"I just bought your house at the tax sale, I'm going to start the eviction paper." The thing is, my own mother betrayed me by not telling me or give me any notice. I am a single mother who lives paycheck to paycheck. I don't have any money to move, give first and last months rent, switch utilities, etc. I can't drive due to a car accident that I had which left me legally blind in my left eye.I know the economy isn't great and a lot of people are suffering financially but if you are one of those fortunate people that can help someone, please find it in your heart to help me get on my feet, for the sake of my child. I can't bear to think of living in a homeless shelter with him. Anything can help. I will be eternally grateful to whoever helps me. I am a good person and I can't understand why this has happened, I pray to god for financially letting me get through this..

Hello, I've never done this before but, I'm desperate.
I'm 19 years old and my family is going through a divorce, my mother never furthered her education and has been a house wife for the entire 20 years they have been married and simply supported my dad and all his pursuits.

When I turned 18 my dad left for a gas station woman he'd known for maybe a total of a few months. Let me state he tried to have an affair with her, it wasn't till my mother confronted him that he said he wanted a divorce; My dad is a repeated cheat, I was never aware of this till the day he left, then all the lies came out of the closet.

We run a small chimney sweep business, the office is located at my mother's as she sets the appointments. She does not receive a pay check because during their marriage it was easier on taxes, they have decided to keep it this way and instead dad just covers the bills.

Now the business is great in the winter but we are in spring now and as you may already know no one uses their fireplace in the middle of warm weather! No they go outside and have bonfires. Now my dad is going blind due to diabetes and simply cannot work, we have hired a friend to do the jobs now while my dad just tells them what needs to be done and oversee's the work to the best of his ability. However, his reputation of leaving his wife and daughter for a woman he barely knows has
gotten around and I've heard the clients say they don't want business from a man like that.
My dad also wants to spend money we do not have, he is trying to sell an old sports car so we can put another work truck on the road, we don't have enough work to keep the one truck going we most certainly can't afford the regular expenses of another! My parent's can't even afford to legally divorce, and he want's a new truck. The one he has is fine, I don't understand why he won't use that money for bills.

Now any money I earn myself I have to give to my parents to help alleviate the burden of the bills, but what I contribute is not enough and now we have received the nasty call from the mortgage that they are foreclosing. While I hand all my savings to my parents can't save for my education, and being homeless will make it almost impossible. I've no famly or friends to turn to and we do not have a shelter here. I'm under the age of 24 so I cannot get any financial aid for school without a legal guardian to sign for me, and my parents refuse to think realistic; When I ask them what are we going to do? they say "Winning the lottery is the only thing that can save us." They have lost hope, I understand things are bad... but is it so bad that they can't help me get financial aid?

We currently need $136,000 to pay the house completely off, I'd love to have that, if you find it in your heart to give us our home I'd never be able to forget it. I'd be forever grateful and I'd love to return the favor someday so please feel free to give me an e-mail to contact.

To get us caught up on bills and me in school for nursing will take $7,000. we are so far behind and work is pretty much non-existent... My dad refuses to apply for disability as well.

I'm begging you please help me, I'm drowning in the debt of my parents. I've wanted to be a nurse my whole life and now I feel robbed of that chance... So please help!

I am a single mom living with my parents. I am helping out with the finances as much as I can. My sister is also living with my parents and is unable to find a job. She has 3 kids that are here sometimes. My other sister is graduating college (today) and has so far been unable to get a job. My mom is a retired school teacher and my dad is a soon to be retired farmer as he is no longer capable of the physical labor. As you can see money is VERY tight. My mom has had some major health problems and right now we have a $2300 hospital bill over our head as well as $130 in additional medical bills. She is diabetic and has recently been diagnosed with bleeding retinas and could go blind at any time. I am trying to get the money together to get the hospital paid off so we can take her to the Grand Canyon which has always been her dream.

For kayaker Steven Banks, it is going to be more about physical as well as mental endurance rather than simply covering a set distance around Marco, Goodland and Cape Romano.

Banks, owner of Dreamlander Tours, on April 20 will set out on a 24-mile round trip he estimates will take about 24 hours, including a night stop on the water in the vicinity of Cape Romano when he will be on his own without a back-up team.

He is attempting the feat to raise money for three of his pet charities, the Impact community outreach ministry overseen by local pastor Ben Sprankle; a Malawi, Africa, charitable medical clinic called Partners in Hope; and a Cuaravac, Mexico, mother who is blind and has an epileptic son.

A poignant Marco Island connection is that another of her sons, Benito, worked on the island, raised a family, but died in 2011 from meningitis following a mosquito bite.

Banks had befriended Benito.

“Before he passed, he asked to make sure his mother and brother were taken care of,” Banks said.

A trip to Mexico to meet them prompted Banks to do everything he can for them, and his goal is to have them come to the United States for treatment.

Banks has called his fundraising paddle Kayak Marco 24.

It will consist of the 24-hour paddle that may incur inclement weather and unpredictable winds, put him at risk during the Cape Romano solo stop, and put strain on his body because of being out on the water for such an extended time.

But he is not too worried about that aspect.

As a hands-on guide, he paddles up to five or six hours at least three times a week, so has plenty of residual paddling fitness.

Still, he said, the length of time he will spend out on the water represents an unpredictable challenge, so he is avoiding any kind of complacency.

Banks’ route is not a fixed affair either, other than he starts and finishes at the Snook Inn.

While winds are unpredictable from this far out, tides are not, so Banks is studying charts and conferring with some of his charter fishing captain friends to map out the best places to try to be at certain times.

The combination of headwinds as well as fighting an in- or outgoing tide could be formidable, he said.

If the going is really good, he added, he will probably put in extra miles.

The kayak Banks plans to paddle is not the sleek, 17-foot kind that could zip around Marco, Goodland and Cape Romano in a matter of a few hours.

He will be using an ordinary, fairly short and stable craft that doesn’t have much gliding ability, so every stroke will count.

While Banks’ sole motivation for the endurance paddle is for his three pet causes, a cherry on top may come in the form of recognition by the Guinness Book of Records.

The category would be “longest nonstop time period for a single person kayaking.”

The recognition would be subject to correct and exhaustive documentation, Banks said.

Want to help?
What: Kayak Marco 24
Who: Steven Banks will spend 24 hours paddling around Marco, Goodland and Cape Romano
When: April 20-21
Where: Start and finish points are 1 p.m. at the Snook Inn.
Motive: Charitable

First let me say thank you for taking the time to read my post weather you choose to help us, are in a position to help us, or even if you are able to do no more than pray for us. Thank you

My youngest (of 4) daughter Isabella was born in 12/17/2004 with Osteogenesis Imperfecta. OI in short is brittle bone disease and Bella was born with 12 fractures. The doctors gave Isabella 48 hour to live and told me that there was nothing they could do for her. After 12 weeks of fighting for her life and begging the doctors to help her and no success I demanded the doctors to release her and on BLIND FAITH we loaded our 4 children ages 7-12 weeks old and everything that would fit into our 2 trucks and with $4000 we set out from dallas to the tampa shriners hospital for childrens for medical care.
In the first year of Isabellas life she was life flighted 5 times over a 6 month period, spent spent 80% of the year living in ICU, was vented 2x and spent 28 days in a coma.
We quit counting Isabellas fractures at 50 and by the grace of God last december Isabella turned 7. She is currently 20.9 pounds and 29 inches. She is a smart happy well adjusted 1st grader with a sunshine yellow wheelchair and a 1 on 1 para in a regular classroom. She is funny and the glue that binds our family together.
We have been ok with Isabellas medical care for the last 7 years and Shriners is amazing and does the best for her that they can but in this economy we find that they are more reactive than proactive. I have been researching around for state of the art medical care for kids with OI and I have found it in Omaha NE. We have contacted the doctor and have been accepted as a paitent as soon as we can raise the nearly $10,000 we will need to relocate our family to Omaha.
With that said and Isabellas mounting unpaid medical bills we are buried with nothing in savings. We are in search of someone or many someons who would be willing to help us raise the funds to move this amazing child as her dream is to be rodded and stand (a very reall possibility in Omaha)!
We would be willing to accept any reasonable loan offered and would be blessed with any donation (big or small)

Thank you again for taking the time to read my post and for any help financial or emotional that you may be able to afford us.
God bless you!

Hello,

I'm in a desperate need for ANY donation and prayer. I need to leave the house where I am staying at as I'm not being treated welcomed...and am so afraid to be homeless living in the street. I have a small older dog that is practically blind, so moving to a shelter is not an option for me as I would never leave my "best-friend" behind.

I've always worked, been independent and loved giving when I was in the position to do so. I'm currently unemployed and am no longer receiving benefits. The worst part is that I don't have a car and that makes my job search more difficult as I reside in Texas. Ideally, I would love to relocate to another state as I am so emotionally hurt by the cold treatment of family members.

Any donation would be appreciated even if it is a dollar or less. And if you can’t donate, please just pray for me as that would mean so much to me. If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my post and God Bless.

Please,please,please,I beg you to hear my plea. I am attending university, in which is not pay for yet. The university has contacted me and stated if I don't have my tuition paid soon, then I will have to leave.
My mother has been disabled for the last 3 years. She is filled with pain pills, and is unable to work.
My father struggles to try to keep a roof over my brother and sister head, while my mother is so pain ridden that she is unable to do anything.
I beg you from the bottom of my heart, to please don't turn a blind eye, and help me reach my goal of attending university and making a better life for me. Hopefully I can help someone else down the road if someone can help me.
I am a full time student, and I have applied everywhere for a job but there is no way I can cover my tuition. Where the world has changed lately, jobs are really hard to obtain. No lack of trying on my behalf, I've and still search for work every day.
My Tuition due was 10,500 plus book costing 11,585.
I worked a little over the summer due to lack of jobs but cleaning people's yards and baby sitting I was able to save 2595.00 so what is due by Nov 14/11 is $8990.00
PLEASE I BEG YOU. Please help me..Please I am on my knees, looking in your eyes.Please see my fear and may God bless anyone who has helped me and THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART.
Desperately Me, B

About a week ago, I noticed my dog's eyes had suddenly become a cloudy blue/grey color. He started walking into things, bumping into furniture, and was not able to walk downstairs without tripping. My mom and I took him to the vet a few days later, and the doctor said he had cataracts, and with a simple removal surgery he would see perfectly. The problem is, the surgery would cost $2000-$5000. Neither of my parents have that kind of money, and I can't bear to think that my dog would have to spend the rest of his life (he has a good 5+ years left in him), basically blind. His lack of vision has also made him depressed and embarrassed. He doesn't want to play or go for walks anymore, and he hides in shame after walking into things around the house. If you can spare anything to help pay for his surgery, it would be so appreciated. It's truly heartbreaking seeing him like this.

We are a couple, aged 37 and 38. It takes a lot for us to ask for help, but if any can be given - no matter how small - if a lot of people give a little, it can add up to a lot ;) - it would be an absolute godsend. In the past I have always tried to help, whether it was picking up someone asking for food and taking them to buy food at the grocery store, helping another couple with children with a house payment, or simply offering them a job (odd job around my home or even with the company I used to work for before I was laid off.) .

We're about to lose our home. I recently recieved a cut off notice for our utilities and in order to keep them on it will cost $181.61 the balance due however is $188.00. This will not matter however, because I don't have the funds to make the house payment coming due on the 12th of October. I am 399.00 short on the payment. The balance we owe on our home is $6,320.00. Once the house is paid off we will be able to pay $180.00 for lot rent instead of $580.00 for lot rent and house payment.. (Of which only $200.00 goes towards the balance if not paid in full - which is .32 more payments at $580.00 a month). If we can just get our home paid off we would be okay - even with child support garnishing 54% of my pay. By law Child Support Enforcement can garnish up to 65% of a payee's pay.

Just to be up front, I do have a job. Unfortunately I only work about 30 hours a week on average at minimum wage. I am very happy for my job, but after child support garnishes $478.00 a month from my paycheck we can barely make the house payment most months. I have filed for a reduction of child support, but they refuse to use my legitmate income, instead using the income I made previously when I was in a position to help others, and did so regularly. My employer has even filed an affidavit with child support enforcement stating they cannot offer me more then 32 hours and that I make minimum wage. I am curretly looking for a second job, or another job that pays better to take the place of the job I now hold. If anyone has any IT professional positions, please let me know as I would love to come work for you, or your company. That would be the best way to help us out.

My boyfriend would love to work, but he is disabled and currently has an application in with Social Security Disability, unfortunately it takes a long time for it to come through, and by the time it does we will have already lost our home. He was disabled 2 years ago last July when he was working on a wireless tower that was 80 foot tall. It collapsed under him and he is very lucky to have survived the fall, however, when he came down he landed on his ankle and the impact caused the joint to turn around backwards and upside down. He has had surgery for this, unfortunately it is still not right. He cannot straighten out his foot to walk. Because of shortening of the tendons on the inside and front of his ankle he is not able to balance or apply weight to the ankle for more then a few moments. And even that short amount of time causes him extreme pain. He tries to help around the house by doing chores such as mowing our small patch of lawn, but even that small chore takes him over 3 days to complete. My employer does not offer medical insurance, so we are without it. It makes it impossible to go to a doctor to help him get the medical assistance needed to 1. fix his ankle completely and 2. pain management. So he perseveres and does as much as he can.

Every day I have to try to get my 1984 Volvo 240 Station Wagon running so I can get to work that day. When I try to pull out onto the highway to go to work it bogs down like it is under water. It takes crossed fingers, prayer and much clutch/gas pedal manipulation for the car to pull out... and even more to get it to the speed limit. It is very scary because there is a blind corner that people speed around regularly and I'm just waiting for the day I get hit trying to pull out. Unfortunately we don't know what is wrong with it and do not have the ability to take it to a mechanic to see if they can do a diagnostic, much less pay to have it repaired. So if anyone is willing to donate their time and possibly parts to get the car up and running safely it would be greatly appreciated. It is the only legal vehicle we have.

I am trying to do odd jobs around town as well as sell jewelry that I make online and at a little shop here in Newport. It is hard because most months no one seems to buy my jewelry and the jobs are far and few between.

What is really sad is I know come the middle of October we will be homeless, my daughter's dog, Kenji and my dog, Nikki will have to go to the animal shelter if I cannot find them homes. I know I would not be able to care for them at all if we have no home in which to live. As it stands now, I haven't been able to buy them dog food for a few months, and the Animal Shelter in Priest River does not have any spare food for them, so they eat what we eat. the good thing is they are fat and very happy and loving dogs.

If you can help at all, even if it is a little bit ($1, $5 or even $10) - if several help out a little it will add up to a lot; it would be greatly appreciated, and once we're back on our feet, of course we fully intend to pay it forward by helping others.

Thank you for your time and consideration... God Bless

I suppose it is a familiar story, I am a single mother with three children. I work very hard to give them everything they need, and maybe this is where the problem started. With no father figure and mom absent from the home working 12 hour shifts my kids had a lot of freedom, combine that with trying to compensate for the missing father figure in their lives and I closed a blind eye to things that in retrospect was a mistake. My son is now drowning with a serious addiction, and the family is going down with him. I have not made good choices in how to help him, and I am not very good at tough love. I am now in so much debt that we face losing the family home. On top of the stress of trying not to lose him to this addiction I face the stress of overdue bills and credit cards. Another parent would have handled all of this different and not need your help, I accept it is my failure that brought me to where I am. My back is against a wall, I ask you to help me even though I am not sure I deserve it. I do it though for my other children who I have allowed this to affect. Thank you.

Hi... I am a stay at home mom of two kids one 4 year old and a 16 month old.
My eldest, a girl, is about to start school this year in september.

My little girl has always been special and she is the most loving thing on earth. We didn't realize till about 6 months ago that she has a condition called opticnervehypopasia and that she is considered legally blind. The time before that we knew there was something wrong with her but none of the doctors could figure it out until we went to a bigger city in our state to a childrens hospital.
Because of her condition, she is also very small for her age and just isn't thriving like other 4 year olds. She has to take growth hormone shots and thyroid medicine and may need sex hormones later in life.

I hate giving her shots everynight.. she cries and it breaks my heart and i don't do it when my husband is home because it just stresses him out to the point he can't go to sleep. (he also does a lot of overtime.. so him not sleeping is very bad... especially since he has to drive a ways to get to work)

My husband works while i take care of the kids and we are doing the best we can.. but like so many other people these days, we are barely getting by. Some months we aren't. We arent' getting social security or medicaid for disabled children either, everything is tied up in paper work. We have family around us but they have been sick and are struggling financially too.

We can't pay all of our bills and it reallys kills me inside to know that we owe doctors that have helped us and family too, but... can't pay what is due to them. We have had to borrow $50 here $100 there more than a couple of times just to keep the electricity on.

My daughter hasn't had a lot of interaction with other kids her age and as a result she is socially awkward on the rare occasion she does see other children. She watches TV and she says she wants friends and to go to "school". With how things are going now, i'm not sure how my husband and i can make that happen for her.

I really want this badly for her... i just think that denying her this opportunity is just going to delay her developement even further. I have worked with her at home with her numbers, letters, shapes and so on..... and she can read simple words already. but she is such a talkative, outgoing kind of kid that loves to make people laugh that I do feel like at the tender age of 4 she senses that she IS missing out on something already...

And that's what i am hoping someone out there will help us give her. There is a preschool close by where she will be able to socialize and find friends and just be a little kid!

That would also be great for my youngest because that would allow him to be 'the baby' a little more. Since my daughter has had a lot of things going on with her where most of our attention had to be foccused on her since she is a high needs child.

The preschool is 3 hours a day 5 days a week and costs $5 a day and $2 for snacks.
Any amount of money/gift card or whatever you wish to send as a result of this post would be greatly appreciated....

Hello everyone! I'm asking for quarters for a good cause. I'm a legally blind individual who is hoping to go to Alaska to find work. I would like to perhaps work at a shop of some sort or another, but need help to get there and some assistance in setting everything up. Any quarters you send would be greatly appreciated.
Why Alaska?
It's always been my dream to work in Alaska ever since I read Julie of the Wolves in 7th Grade.
Any help would be greatly appreciated and I hope to personally thank everyone with a hand-made key-chain with the braille saying of your choice. So if you know of any sort of work, or a shop that would allow a phone interview, or to add quarters, please use the paypal button below!

So let's get straight to it: I'm a 28 year old double bachelor's graduate. I initially had a Finance degree (magna cum laude), couldn't find a steady career, went back for my Accounting degree (again with honors), and still can't start my career due to "lack of experience". I hold down two terrible paying jobs and typically work from 7am to 9pm on the weekdays as well as 1pm-7pm on Saturdays, totaling to over 70 hours a week.

I live at home with two elderly parents: my father is retired and legally blind thanks to macular degeneration, my mother an immigrant with no driver's license with a list of medical conditions a mile long. We enjoy a crumbling house which desperately needs repairs to the roof and driveway thanks to harsh rains and a heavy winter.

I'm doing all I can to keep things afloat and maintain the household, which is hard with the limited amount of time on my hands, not to mention the occasional flair ups of my Crohn's disease. Oh yeah, I don't have medial insurance and cannot afford the ridiculously priced medication. Thank you to the Doctor who helped diagnosed my condition at a VERY discounted price.

I know I can make it through this and somehow regain the semblance of a normal, healthy life. All I'm asking for is whatever relief I can get to help chip away at my expenses and keep things moving forward. The immediate plan is to repair the house and finish paying off my student loans and my parents' high credit card debt while trying to start a career.

If- no WHEN I make it to the end of the tunnel, I will absolutely pay it forward to someone else in a similiar situation. I do have a history of volunteer work when things weren't as bad, and I still sometimes give time to a local soup kitchen. ANY help is appreciated. Thanks for your time!
