Lost childhood from always working to pay bills
Posted by saraboo on 2012-05-10 01:58:17
Hi,
If someone actually reads this I hope you can reach out and help my family. I guess where to begin would be difficult for me since having to hear about money started at a young age. I could give you a whole sob story but I am not going to I'll just tell you a little about ourselves. My momma was a high school dropout and had three kids me included, she never went back to get a higher education. She married my step dad when I was around seven years old. My middle eldest brother is mentally retarded and my mom did so much trying to help him but it did not work so now he is in a halfway house hopefully being set onto the right path. My step dad is somewhat of an emotionless person because of the way he grew up and because of a leg injury from last year has a hard time finding a job he can do despite all the searching he has done. My eldest brother is so smart but he's wasting his life away at a fast food franchise called cookout, but the brightside for him is he has found true love and expecting a baby. Now onto me I tried looking online to see if their was anything an eighteen year old like me could do to get some extra much needed money for bills but had no luck because they all need money first which is what I don't have. My mom and me have always been very close and im so sick and depressed of seeing her waste away trying to pay all of the bills with what little money she earns at a dead end job. I give my weekly paychecks to my mom just so she can make ends meet and we both only work part time due to all the cut backs on hours from the recession going on. I don't know what else I can say except it would be a miracle from God if something from posting this would happen because I am so unlucky I can't imagine ever winning anything and we are just an ordinary family nothing special about us except that we're in desperate need of a hero.

CommentsA family in turmoil.
Posted by elbeecee on 2012-04-06 04:58:09
I am the eldest daughter of two ill parents. I have 2 siblings who have been the caregivers to my parents for several years now. It all started when my father got ill in 2007 with a need of open heart surgery. After that surgery he was never the same. He was a very successful emergency room physician and made very good money. However, he was off for several months from work due to his recovery period. Much of his savings/investments were depleted as he was the only bread winner in the family. My brother and sister had just gotten an apartment and were to start college when my father got ill. They withdrew from school just as quickly as we moved them into their apartment in order to help my mother take care of dad. My father attempted to return to work, but he was still having chest pain and major depression. In September of 2008 he was in the hospital again and needed heart stents to open up blockages. After that situation he physically could not go back to work. He was weak, depressed, and very withdrawn from life. My mother, bless her heart, tried to find ways to make some cash. She sold many pieces of her jewelry to try and pay bills. Regardless of what she profited, she was unable to fulfill the mounting medical bills, credit card bills, car payments, insurance bills, etc.
It wasn't long before she became gravely ill. In the summer of 2010 my mother had succumbed to kidney failure and had to be on kidney dialysis permanently. She had neglected to take care of herself while trying to take care of my father and their financial woes. Along with the financial woes, there were back taxes that were still owed and of course were impossible to pay, their house was falling apart--still is. By the end of Spring 2011, my mother got so ill and was on a ventilator at least 4 times in a 2 week period due to her lungs filling up with fluid. Finally it was discovered that she had endocarditis (infection in heart)that had ravaged one of her heart valves. This required open heart surgery and replacement of the defected valve. The endocarditis stemmed from an infected temporary dialysis catheter. She was in the hospital for over a month and a half or so. Needless to say she was confused, lost tons of weight, and lost the ability to walk or care for herself. She was placed in a nursing home for rehab, but several more stays in the hospital only made her fall several steps back on her rehab and she never has fully recovered. It was discovered that she also had a tumor on one of her kidneys and her kidney was removed in the Fall of 2011 and supposedly it was all contained and it was early stage renal (kidney) carcinoma (cancer). While my mother was in the hospital my father had trouble breathing and I took him to the hospital. It as discovered he was in kidney failure and they both ended up in the hospital at the same time. Now my father is on permanent kidney dialysis.
Now fast forward to present day April 6, 2012. My mother's dialysis shunt would not stop bleeding and she was taken to the emergency room. She also complained of right leg pain and ultimately she ended up with a CT angiogram. This test revealed she not only had some blockage in one of her arteries in her leg, but that she had metastatic cancer to her liver, lungs, and a site near her spleen. Of course we are devastated.
They have no money. The money they do get is always depleted as soon as they get it from Medicare. My mother's social security check went straight to the nursing home and still was not enough to cover her bill. My father would have to pay over $1,000 a month because Medicare would only pay for several weeks. Since she has been in the hospital now for almost 2 weeks, we have pulled her out of the nursing home because the expected us to pay over $180 A DAY to keep her spot at the nursing home.
Now we are faced with a surgery to fix her leg, a plan for cancer treatment, and no suitable place for my mother to live. Their current home is in shambles and I mean SHAMBLES. Roof leaks and is falling apart. I assume there is some black mold lingering. No central air or heat as their units are broke. Plus large amounts of stuff--my mother also was a hoarder. The house is disgusting and it has been hard to clean up with out major assistance and with constant trips to the hospital who has ample time (?). They live in a small town and it is very hard to simply get a dumpster to throw many items away. The house would have to be completely gutted and redone. The floors are sinking in and it is very dangerous. They don't have the funds to fix any of it and nor do I.
I have missed work several times over the last year and more with FMLA, but never have enough PTO to fully cover my own losses.
My siblings have yet to start their lives. They have been with my parents ever since 2007 to help them with everything. Even when my mother was in a nursing home my siblings and my dad would go see my mom every single day--we just didn't trust the care of the nursing home and rightly so because she developed a bed ulcer on her heel after the wound care nurse said it was getting better--not even close! And yes the blocked artery in her leg and her bed ulcer on her heel are related. The wound care nurse and the Dr. for the nursing home should have caught this medical issue.
So life has been tough, but reading about it doesn't even give it justice. We need financial assistance, a new home or help to fix it--we need a lot of help. I want my brother and sister to finally get on their own feet and do what they want to do. I feel bad for them because I was able to finish college and have a career, a husband, and a home. They have yet to accomplish their goals and it makes me sad and sick to see them so depressed. They are in their late 20s and my parents are both 65 y.o.
If anyone has a kind heart, I promise you I'm not lying. I have proof of all I have written about and I swear on everything--my family, my husband, etc. that this is all real. Thank you for your time and interest. If you can't help at least please pray for us.
I'm trying this BegsList as desperation as I don't know what to do. My wish is to get them a nice clean place to live and live their last years worry free.

for CT SCAN
Posted by isleofview on 2012-03-20 17:58:36
my eldest sister of 48 was rushed to the hospital for stomach pain.Until now,she is not undergoing on operation because a CT SCAN must be done first,we all contributed for the payment of her hospital bill and at the moment we are all broke, her siblings. We cannot start with the rest of what is needed because of a CT SCAn. We sought help on our town mayor but his donation is still not enough for it...We do not have any medical card. We are basically on grass root level income. I am seeking help for anyone who can help my sister. She is very thin now..I love her so much...Thank you

Hi,
I'm in my 30s and in a desperate situation. Although I'm a very proud person, my situation has pushed me to act differently because of my responsibility towards my kids. I'm physically and psychologically unable to work due to my illness, although I'm a smart person. In past 18 years, I have had many surgeries; 12 of them on my spine because of severe scoliosis and 4 on my right hand. I have two lovely daughters, one is 16 who attends secondary school and the other is just a 7 months old baby.
About 4 months ago I found out that my husband suffers from bipolar disorder, after years of putting us through hell. He was hospitalized a few months ago and after he was discharged, in early January he left us with no support and went to another country. I have been struggling with tons of bills for months and now I'm left with everything to deal with as he ran up large amount of debts.
Despite everything that I have to deal with, every single day I'm in constant pain. All the time I feel exhausted from looking after a baby single handed during the day and night. My eldest has fallen behind at school work due to helping me and now her dreams for her future has shattered (she has A-level exams, was hoping to study Psychology at university). In order to function on a daily basis I struggle and need to take heavy painkillers such as morphine which makes me even more tired.I have no family and friends to help me. My mother is in her late 70's and lives in another country with her sister and my father died years ago.
Please help me financially by making any donation to help me clear at least some of my debts. I have no money to eat proper meals and I'm breastfeeding. I'm on a verge of nervous breakdown. In the past if I ever could help anyone I have done. So I'm waiting for karma to work, please help me if you can. I feel under extreme amount of pressure as if I'm taking my last breath.
Thanks for your time and hope for your sincere help.

TO MAKE MY CHILDREN SMILE FOR A DAY :)
Posted by mumto2girls on 2012-01-27 14:58:50
Hi,
I am a married mother of 2 beautiful girls.
My husband lost his job 3 years ago, due to a knee complaint, and we could not afford court costs to pay to fight it, and has since had to have numerous operations, and because he is only 45 he has been told he is to young for a new knee.
He is unable to go far when walking, he can not run and play with the girls like he once did, and is in constant pain.
He is a mans man and never complains about his pain, yet i know he is in it constantly.
Because of the pain he is in, and the fact i am now his carer we have no spare money to take our children away, even for a long weekend somewhere or day trips.
We have not been able to take our girls anywhere since my husband lost his job, and i feel so sorry for them, as the eldest always comes home saying her friends are going away, and asking why we can not. They ask for things we just can not afford to give them, but would love to.
We were hard working individuals, up to the loss of work, and me becoming a carer, but now have to skrimp by everyday, and someday's telling your children they cant have something because we only have a few pence in our pocket, is heart breaking.
We save pennies and 5 pence's and when the jar is full we go to the coin star machine to change it, but they never amount to much
I have never asked for anything in my life, and have always managed to get by, but this would be for my family, for them to be able to smile, even if it is for just one day, by doing something we can all enjoy.
So if anyone would like to help, it would be very much appreciated.
I am not asking for lots, just enough to pay for a day out somewhere.
I have not informed my husband that i am 'begging' as if i can id like this to be a surprise!!
Many thanks and best wishes

Gifted/talented Trip to Space Academy,
Posted by kazbee70 on 2012-01-27 06:58:04
Hi,
Never done this before, so not sure where to start. Never usually aske for anything. I am a single (working) mum with three boys. My eldest has a chance to go to Space academy in Alabalma for gifted/talented children at his school. It is a huge honour to be chosen but is very expensive. I know this isn't life or death but I am very proud of him. And want him to have the opportunities this brings, and prove that n single families can do as well as others. I have saved and fundraised, three quarters of the money but am struggling with the last £500. Once I have paid the mortgage, there isnt alot left and I receive no maintenance or benefits. Any help, even 10p or a £1 would make the world of difference. Even if you don't donate, thank you for taking the time to read this.

Hi, I am a 49 year old man. I am from South Africa. I have some health problems and is not working. My wife works for a small salary that is not nearly enough to pay for everything. Since the recession everything has become very expensive, including food. The bills just keep on piling up. There is school fees to pay, clothes to buy and most important, food to buy. My rent is a couple of months in arrears, luckily the landlord is understanding. As work is very scarce for people without afterschool studies my eldest daughter must also start studying in order to get a decent job, more expenses.
I beg from you, PLEASE, PLEASE help. Every little bit you can spare will help.

Struggling Grandma of 3 young boys: Victims of multiple back-to-back tragedies
Posted by strugglinggrandmaof3boys on 2011-09-25 13:58:21
My name is Missy. I am a 49 year old struggling grandmother of 3 sweet, beautiful boys, ages 5, 7 and 8. I am trying desperately to save and protect my grandsons and ensure their futures. I would not ask help if it were only for me. I am asking for help for them, so that my 3 innocent little grandsons will be safe, secure and have a chance in life. As things stand right now, we will be homeless within the next 2 weeks.
My greatest fear is that when (not if) I do become homeless, which isnât that far off, the state will take my grandsons because we have no place to live, split them up and put them in foster homes. That thought scares the hell out of me. I am all those sweet little boys have. And if they lose each other too, after losing everyone and everything else that they known and loved, I fear their lives will be ruined at the tender ages of 5, 7 and 8.
I suffer from PTSD, COPD and fibromyalgia and each day I struggle with mental distress and physical pain. We live near the New Orleans Metro Area in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana. We were displaced for a year after Hurricane Katrina, came back, bought a mobile home in Lafitte, Louisiana and tried to rebuild our lives. In 2008, when Hurricanes Gustav and Ike hit us back to back, our home was flooded with more than 4 feet of water; unreachable, except by boat for over 2 weeks.
At that time, my mother, age 75, had been experiencing the beginning stages of Alzheimerâs as well as a series of strokes which affected the memory and impulse control centers of her brain due to a vascular disease which severely decreased the flow of blood to those areas of her brain. During these TIAâs and small strokes/seizures, she behaved erratically and during larger ones she could become paranoid and psychotic. She had to be hospitalized for several of the more severe episodes, as she was becoming a danger to herself and others. The effects of these episodes lingered for days, sometimes weeks. Afterwards, she had no memory of anything that happened during that time period.
After the storms, we moved in with my mother to help her and because we did, FEMA stopped helping us. And since we could not afford to rebuild again without FEMAâs help, we lost our home. The recent BP oil spill was just another deep blow to our already struggling local economy.
Mom required 24/7/365 assistance and supervision, which she could not afford. She was eventually diagnosed with vascular disease of the brain and Alzheimerâs. Due to the region of her brain that was affected her disease went unnoticed for several years, until she had a large enough stroke to prompt her to seek medical attention. This diagnosis explained her erratic behavior of the past several years, I have since been homebound, unable to leave mom untended for any length of time and unable to work outside the home due to my motherâs need for the past 3 years.
My mother passed away this past April at the age of 79. She had suffered from Alzheimer's and vascular dementia, suffering several major and minor strokes and seizures over the past 6+ years. On April 9th she suffered a massive stroke, lingering for 9 days before passing on the 18th. God rest her soul, I miss her. I loved my mom very much and did everything I could to help her.
To add to the difficulties already faced by our loss, my youngest daughter, who had been living in Ohio with what turned out to be a conman/ junkie twice her age that saw a vulnerable young woman with 3 children and took advantage of that fact, had been physically, verbally and emotionally abusive to all of them for the past 1½ years. 2 weeks before Mom passed, she got in major legal trouble in Ohio and sent my 3 young grandsons to me to raise.
Now, things have turned for the worst... On August 17th we discovered that my eldest daughter took my mother to an attorney and had her write a will leaving everything my mother had to her and excluding me! This abominable act was done 1 month after Hurricane Katrina when ALL of us were distraught and displaced from the storm! My mom was not in her right mind at that time, even though a full diagnosis had not yet been made on her true condition.... Also, in Louisiana, the bar for mental competency is set so low that so long as you are not actively drooling and babbling in front of the judge/attorney/witnesses you are considered competent!! It doesnât matter if you wonât remember doing it five minutes later either. My mother, in her right mind, would NEVER have disinherited me.
Now, my greedy, self-serving, ungrateful eldest child decided that she will evict us so she can try to sell my mother's home, in which I and my grandsons, her nephews still live, so she can pay off mom's debt, which she exaggerates, and her student loans. She is fully aware of our circumstances, she just doesnât care. The only transportation I have for my grandsons is the truck my mom gave me before her death, but did not have the money to transfer title on. It is now part of momâs estate and she took that too.
I called the Clerk in division where probate/ succession on my mom were filed... Clerk said that I need an attorney to file contest to the will, herein lies the problem... there is not 1 single legal aid agency in the ENTIRE New Orleans Metro area that can handle a contested will!! There are also no private attorneys that will handle it either, unless there's big money in it for them, which in this case there is not.
Clerk also said she has no idea why I was never notified. Judge signed off regardless. There seems to be no justice for the poor in this country... since we can't afford to pay the exorbitant fees of a private attorney, which seems to be a necessity to get anything done in the courts. I have tried appealing to my daughterâs sense of decency, but she doesnât seem to have one. Her actions are despicable and deplorable. I am ashamed to be her mother. It breaks my heart and sickens me to know that I brought such a hateful, selfish, greedy, heartless person into this world. I did not raise her to be that way.
I've called every single legal aid agency in my area; including the Bar Assoc. Lawyer referral service... no one will help because there just isn't any money in it for them... sad state this country is in when the poor cannot get justice anywhere.
We were told by the eviction court judge on Sept 12th, that we have 24 hours to vacate our home... stating that our situation is a matter for probate court. Thankfully, we found a place, however, we still need about $800.00 more to pay the $420.00 we still owe our new landlord to avoid eviction from this new place by the 5th of October plus $365.00 to the light company which will be past due (cut off)on the 7th and includes a new deposit and transfer fee.
I've also called churches and other charitable organizations for help... there are so many families in need in the New Orleans metro area that any help is minimal. ALL homeless shelters are full up with waiting lists so long they are no longer taking applications for assistance.
I have applied for Section 8 housing, but there is a HUGE waiting list. The HUD Section 8 waiting list in Louisiana is backlogged 5+ years and has more than 20,000 applicants still waiting for vouchers, many of whom are currently homeless. They are not accepting any new applicants.
I have contacted EVERY charitable and public/community service agency that I can think of for help... none has been forthcoming as of yet..... Is there ANYONE out there with a heart who can and will help us? I have nowhere else to turn.
Iâve spent days seeking legal help... bottom line... none available... so since if my defense is denied and I can't fight the eviction then we are out on the streets with nowhere to go.
My nerves are shot; the house hunt is not going well.
I am hurt by my daughterâs actions and so sickened over all of this mess that I can barely think straight. I cry myself to sleep every night and awake with tears in my eyes and a rock in the pit of my stomach. Yet I dry them and try to be strong and act as if everything is normal for my grandsons who need me now more than ever. I still havenât had time to grieve my motherâs death.
We are now faced with trying to find alternate housing that we can afford on the $840.00 a month income that I receive in Kinship Care for my grandsons. Fat chance in this over-priced rental market. Even a 1 bedroom apartment in Crack Alley goes for more than my income in this post-Katrina/Gustav/Ike market.
And it's starting to look like me and my grandsons will be homeless very soon... by the end of the 1st week in October.
Their mother is in prison and their deadbeat, psycho father hasn't been seen in almost 2 years, ever since he beat the hell out of his girlfriend, killed their little dog in front of my boys, stole and trashed her car and ended up in a mental hospital wanting to kill himself... my babies have had enough grief and loss in their lives... they need love, help and compassion.... and a decent place to live... soon!
Weâre trying to stay in this area because my boyfriend of 11 years, and my only help, has an elderly, widowed mother who needs his help too. And we are all she has. She cannot take us in because her trailer is very small and there is no room for 5 more people in it.
Work is also scarce and hard to find in the New Orleans metro area due to the huge influx of big out of state companies with their out of state workers getting all of the bigger jobs and contracts and the even larger influx of foreign laborers so severely underbidding the smaller construction jobs, cutting local workers and sub-contractors, like my boyfriend, right out of the job market. Every day he goes out hunting for work taking any job offered.
I have prayed on this so hard and so often since this mess all began. I have put my burden in Jesus' Hands. For He is the only one that can save us. I can only hope that he sends us Angels to deliver us soon, for without help from someone, somewhere here on earth we are lost. I feel so lost and utterly alone... this truly is my darkest hour.
If there is ANYONE out there who can offer assistance, legal, residential, financial, whatever help you can give... please contact me ASAP. I have exhausted all available resources.
Right now, I can barely afford toilet paper to wipe our butts with.
We are thankful and grateful for the help we have received from 5 of my 267 facebook friends, our local churches and the 2nd Harvest Food Bank, as well as some assistance on our utility bill from our local community action organization. That meager help has helped us survive thus far, but our resources are nearly spent. Please have mercy on us and donate whatever you can to help me save my family. If enough people with a heart and some compassion give up just 1 cup of Latte from Starbucks and donate to help save us, we will be able to make it⦠small donations add up and every little bit helps.
Thank you for listening to my problems and for your consideration of my plight.
May God Bless you tenfold for any help you send us.

Let not mercy and truth forsakes you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart,

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.

At that time, my mother, age 75, had been experiencing the beginning stages of Alzheimerâs as well as a series of strokes which affected the memory and impulse control centers of her brain due to a vascular disease which severely decreased the flow of blood to those areas of her brain. During these TIAâs and small strokes/seizures, she behaved erratically and during larger ones she could become paranoid and psychotic. She had to be hospitalized for several of the more severe episodes, as she was becoming a danger to herself and others. The effects of these âepisodesâ lingered for days, sometimes weeks. Afterwards, she had no memory of anything that happened during that time period.
After the storms, we moved in with my mother to help her and because we did, FEMA stopped helping us. And since we could not afford to rebuild again without FEMAâs help, we lost our home. The recent BP oil spill was just another deep blow to our already struggling local economy.
She required 24/7/365 assistance and supervision, which she could not afford. She was eventually diagnosed with vascular disease of the brain and Alzheimerâs. Due to the region of her brain that was affected her disease went unnoticed for several years, until she had a large enough stroke to prompt her to seek medical attention. This diagnosis explained her erratic behavior of the past several years, I have since been homebound, unable to leave mom untended for any length of time and unable to work outside the home due to my motherâs need for the past 3 years.
My mother passed away this past April at the age of 79. She had suffered from Alzheimer's and vascular dementia, suffering several major and minor strokes and seizures over the past 6+ years. On April 9th she suffered a massive stroke, lingering for 9 days before passing on the 18th. God rest her soul, I miss her. I loved my mom very much and did everything I could to help her.
To add to the difficulties already faced by our loss, my youngest daughter, who had been living in Ohio with what turned out to be a conman/ junkie twice her age that saw a vulnerable young woman with 3 children and took advantage of that fact, had been physically, verbally and emotionally abusive to all of them for the past 1 ½ years. 2 weeks before Mom passed, she got in major legal trouble in Ohio and sent my 3 young grandsons to me to raise.
Now, things have turned for the worst... On August 17th we discovered that my eldest daughter took my mother to an attorney and had her write a will leaving everything my mother had to her and excluding me! This abominable act was done 1 month after Hurricane Katrina when ALL of us were distraught and displaced from the storm! My mom was not in her right mind at that time, even though a full diagnosis had not yet been made on her true condition.... Also, in Louisiana, the bar for mental competency is set so low that so long as you are not actively drooling and babbling in front of the judge/attorney/witnesses you are considered competent!! It doesnât matter if you wonât remember doing it five minutes later either.
Now, my greedy, self-serving, ungrateful eldest child has decided that she will evict us so she can try to sell my mother's home, in which I and my grandsons, her nephews still live, so she can pay off mom's debt, which she exaggerates, and her student loans. She is fully aware of our circumstances⦠she just doesnât care. The only transportation I have for my grandsons is the truck my mom gave me before her death, but did not have the money to transfer title on. It is now part of momâs estate and she wants that too.
I called the Clerk in division where probate/ succession on my mom were filed... Clerk said that I need an attorney to file contest to the will⦠herein lies the problem... there is not 1 single legal aid agency in the ENTIRE New Orleans Metro area that can handle a contested will!! There are also no private attorneys that will handle it either, unless there's big money in it for them, which in this case there is not.
Clerk also said she has no idea why I was never notified⦠Judge signed off regardless. There seems to be no justice for the poor in this country... since we can't afford to pay the exorbitant fees of a private attorney, which seems to be a necessity to get anything done in the courts.
I received a 10 day "Notice to Vacate" posted on the door August 24, 2011. My daughter wants immediate possession of the property she manipulated/unduly influenced my mentally ill mother into willing to her barely 1 month after Hurricane Katrina. I don't know where we will go. I will have enough money on September 3rd to pay either 1 month's rent or the deposit, but can't raise both in time I have left. I also have the added expenses of my regular utility bills and new expenses for the transfer of utility services and/or deposits, and transportation. So I need to raise about $2000.00 within the coming 2 week period.
I have tried appealing to my daughterâs sense of decency, but she doesnât seem to have one. Her actions are despicable and deplorable. I am ashamed to be her mother. It breaks my heart and sickens me to know that I brought such a hateful, selfish, greedy, heartless person into this world. I did not raise her to be that way.
I've called every single legal aid agency in my area; including the Bar Assoc. Lawyer referral service... no one will help because there just isn't any money in it for them... sad state this country is in when the poor cannot get justice anywhere.
I've also called churches and other charitable organizations for help... there are so many families in need in the New Orleans metro area that any help is minimal. ALL homeless shelters are full up with waiting lists so long they are no longer taking applications for assistance.
I have applied for Section 8 housing, but there is a HUGE waiting list. The HUD Section 8 waiting list in Louisiana is backlogged 5+ years and has more than 20,000 applicants still waiting for vouchers, many of whom are currently homeless. They are not accepting any new applicants.
I have contacted EVERY charitable and public/community service agency that I can think of for help... none has been forthcoming as of yet..... Is there ANYONE out there with a heart who can and will help us? I have nowhere else to turn.
Iâve spent days seeking legal help... bottom line... none available... so since if my defense is denied and I can't fight the eviction then we are out on the streets with nowhere to go.
My nerves are shot; the house hunt is not going well.
I am hurt by my daughterâs actions and so sickened over all of this mess that I can barely think straight. I cry myself to sleep every night and awake with tears in my eyes and a rock in the pit of my stomach. Yet I dry them and try to be strong and act as if everything is normal for my grandsons who need me now more than ever. I still havenât had time to grieve my motherâs death.
We are now faced with trying to find alternate housing that we can afford on the $840.00 a month income that I receive in Kinship Care for my grandsons. Fat chance in this over-priced rental market. Even a 1 bedroom apartment in âCrack Alleyâ goes for more than my income in this post-Katrina/Gustav/Ike market.
And it's starting to look like me and my grandsons will be homeless very soon... by the end of the 1st week in September.
Their mother is in prison and their deadbeat, psycho father hasn't been seen in almost 2 years, ever since he beat the hell out of his girlfriend, killed their little dog in front of my boys, stole and trashed her car and ended up in a mental hospital wanting to kill himself... my babies have had enough grief and loss in their lives... they need love, help and compassion.... and a decent place to live... soon!
Weâre trying to stay in this area because my boyfriend of 11 years, and my only help, has an elderly, widowed mother who needs his help too. And we are all she has. She cannot take us in because her trailer is very small and there is no room for 5 more people in it.
Work is also scarce and hard to find in the New Orleans metro area due to the huge influx of big out of state companies with their out of state workers getting all of the bigger jobs and contracts and the even larger influx of foreign laborers so severely underbidding the smaller construction jobs, cutting local workers and sub-contractors, like my boyfriend, right out of the job market. Every day he goes out hunting for work taking any job offered.
I have prayed on this so hard and so often since this mess all began. I have put my burden in Jesus' Hands. For He is the only one that can save us. I can only hope that he sends us an Angel to deliver us soon, for without help from someone, somewhere here on earth we are lost. I feel so lost and utterly alone... this truly is my darkest hour.
If there is ANYONE out there who can offer assistance, legal, residential, financial, whatever help you can give... please contact me ASAP. I have exhausted all available resources.
I need at least 2 bedrooms in a safe neighborhood... my total income is $840.00 per month... Right now, I can barely afford toilet paper to wipe our butts with.
We are thankful and grateful for the help we have received from our local churches and the 2nd Harvest Food Bank, as well as some assistance on our utility bill from our local community action organization. That meager help has helped us survive thus far, but our resources are nearly spent. Please have mercy on us and donate whatever you can to help me save my family⦠every little bit helps.
Thank you for listening to my problems and for your consideration of my plight.
May God Bless you tenfold for any help you send us.
Proverbs 3: 3-7
Let not mercy and truth forsakes you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart,
And so find favor and high esteem in the sight of God and man.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.
My greatest fear is that when (not if) I do become homeless, which isnât that far off, the state will take my grandsons because we have no place to live, split them up and put them in foster homes. That thought scares the hell out of me. I am all those sweet little boys have. And if they lose each other too, after losing everyone and everything else that they known and loved, I fear their lives will be ruined at the tender ages of 5, 7 and 8.
I suffer from COPD and fibromyalgia and each day I struggle with physical pain. We live near the New Orleans Metro Area in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana. We were displaced for a year after Hurricane Katrina, came back, bought a mobile home in Lafitte, Louisiana and tried to rebuild our lives.

please help me pay for my daughters PRESCHOOL
Posted by beautifulbabies on 2011-08-01 01:58:18
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....
1930 E 540th rd pleasant hope, mo 65725
you can also send throuh paypal.
If i don't recieve any money at all for this post... i thank you for taking the time to read this anyway.... writing about my family's struggle and mine atleast lifted a little of the ginormous weight on my shoulders for a little while...
Thank you.

Facing Foreclosure on my Family and Home
Posted by ayuda on 2011-07-26 20:58:32
Please help. We had a house fire 2 years ago and I have been battling with Travelers Insurance to get them to pay our claim ever since. I have run up debt trying to survive and have been embattled with lawyers. My wife left with my 2 youngest children (a little girl 4 years old and a boy 10 years old) and we are now separated. My eldest son lives with me and will be starting High School this year. I am now facing the possibility of foreclosure on my home as a result of all this and need to find a solution.
I am asking for any help that you can give a dollar or two or more, whatever you think you can afford. I will use the money to get out of debt and hopefully save my family and my house. I thank you in advance for your kindness.
May God Bless You.

help for me and autistic daughter to move to safer area.
Posted by fallenangel on 2011-04-05 19:58:04
I am a single dad with 2 children. My eldest daughter is autistic. Their mother sadly passed away age 41 in 2006. I have a mortgaged house and am a full time carer and unable to work. We are haveing a terrible time with local neigjbours and the locals in general. We are being victimised and my property and car have been vandleised many times. Neighbours have caused criminal damage to my front door and thrown oblects at our windows. They have trashed my car and written it off in the past. They have let tyres down over night and ruined my windscreen on a previous car by fireing airgun pellets at it. This intimidation has been going on for several years. It has got a point now where it is affecting our lives and our health. We are living here in fear. Just a couple of days ago someone has caused serious damge to the hatchback of my car overnight. Just a few weeks ago someone painted a skull and crossbonesin front of our house. They have thrown things at our windows in the middle of the night. The police cannot take any action because we cant prove who is doing it. I now fear for the safety of myself and my 2 children. I would like to sell my modest house(which needs several repairs) and move into a rented house as i cannot get a mortgage as i am in my 50s and a carer. I have no savings whatsoever. I need around £7.000 to secure a rented place and to pay off some crippling debts. Please could anyone help in any way. We desperately need to move for our sanity and safety. My autistic daughter is suffering because of this and.my son has lost all confidence in himself and is developing depression. Please help in any way you can. I genuinely fear for our safety here.thankyou for takeing the time to read this cry for help. And please contact me if you can help in ANY way. We must get away from here. Peace and God bless you.

IMMEDIATE & DESPERATELY NEED ANY FORM OF FINANCIAL HELP
Posted by hassinali on 2010-09-22 02:58:58
I am a working mother of 3 kids. My eldest left school to help make ends meet. My 2nd is in University and his school fees has not been paid which means he could be suspended from attending classes. My 3rd is in high school which I may have to stop soon. I have been working for the past 20 years and saving every penny in every way until lately when my husband met an accident and every penny I had saved was used to pay for the medical bills as well as the claims needed to pay the 3rd party involved. It was a hefty sum which my savings wasnt enough so I had to borrow and being desperate I used the service of a loan shark which is now terrorising my family. Please help me pay up
the debts that I have accumulated. We were once a very happy family enjoying every fruits of my labour which I worked for 20 years but now my family is becoming disfunctional with my youngest now having school problems and always mixing with bad company constantly arguing with
me and my husband. Nothing will stop him and he has taken up the bad habits of smoking and drinking being only 15 years old. I feel it is all due to the recent debts and accumulating payments which is simply not enough now for our daily needs. I had to cut his pocket money and allowances no more movies for us and eating out. I had lost focus and made a huge mistake at work making a loss of $8000 which I now have to pay back the company I work for 20 years. Nobody would lent me a helping hand not even my family. Please help in any amount even if it is only a dollar of your money please ... From the bottom of my heart I thank you for every single help you can give. I have no choice now but to beg. It is not for me but for the sake of my children.
the debts that I have accumulated. We were once a very happy family enjoying every fruits of my labour which I worked for 20 years but now my family is becoming disfunctional with my youngest now having school problems and always mixing with bad company constantly arguing with
me and my husband. Nothing will stop him and he has taken up the bad habits of smoking and drinking being only 15 years old. I feel it is all due to the recent debts and accumulating payments which is simply not enough now for our daily needs. I had to cut his pocket money and allowances no more movies for us and eating out.
