I support my daughter and my grandson. Nothing serious, just had extra bills this month and I'm broke. I had enough to put gas in my car, but I just need a little help with groceries.

Greetings,

My name is Stephanie. Following the death of both my parents in a car accident 5 years ago August my health has been in a steady decline. I suffer from neurological issues that will soon have me in a wheelchair, and advanced COPD that means I have to have Oxygen continuously. Yesterday I had to go the doctors in 85 degree heat without any air conditioning in my van. By the time I got to the medical center and tried to find this new doctors location I ended up collapsing twice between the walking and breathing. I weigh 83 pounds at 5'5" and I can't carry the oxygen with me when I have to exit the vehicle. Ultimately I ended up in the emergency room.

I live with my daughter and grandson of 6 years. My grandson was in the car when my parents were killed and suffered a major brain injury at 13 months. I'm happy to report though that after months of hospitalization he is right as rain and is mad at me currently ;o) because I'm on my computer which he adores playing with. My daughter suffers from PTSD since the accident my parents were killed in. She cannot drive without someone in the car and she was going to go with me yesterday but the heat was so bad that we were concerned about Gavin in the back in my black 1994 Ford Astro van. It was just way too hot for him and with her PTSD we HAVE to go through town to get anywhere or she will lose it so there would not have been any steady air flow.

It's been a long 5 years. My parents and I jointly owned a duplex. Their deaths were the beginning of the most miserable time of my life. When I divorced it was jointly decided that it would better if I lived in the upstairs apartment so they could be there for the kids while I worked. Over 16 years we became so close that their deaths nearly destroyed me. I paid for the last 15 years on the note of the house, my buy in and we all lived there incredibly content and happy. My parents were my best friends.

After their deaths during the mortgage meltdown, credit locks, and the economic fallout my career of 16 years was one of the first to go. I worked in the non-profit sector designing programming for inner-city communities with a specific focus on youth. So 8 months after their deaths the funding streams I used for the programming dried up and a job I loved disappeared.

Life insurance was enough to cover their debt with a little left over because they didn't carry much but in the end I lost my home of 16 years to the insurance company that covered my daughters son through work when they filed a $ 90,000.00 lien against my home. So 7 months after losing my job I also lost a home I loved. So I experienced 3 deaths within the span of a little over a year.

Because I was unemployed so long and had to use my cards to keep the lights on so to speak my credit is not good. So I can't borrow the funds or even charge a repair for the car.

I can no longer go to doctors visits alone. I'm too weak to walk very far without help and I can't carry the oxygen canister on my own. So I need my daughter for these visits.

Like anyone with severe health issues I'm buried in bills but what I really need help on is funds that will me to fix the air conditioning in my van which despite it's age runs like a champ. I have a physicians assistant who comes into my home to work with my but getting to the specialists has become real concern.

My daughter even with her PTSD has reached a point where she doesn't want me going alone. I was supposed to call her when I reached the doctors the other day when I collapsed the 2nd time and they took me to the specialists office I asked the receptionist to call my daughter. She didn't and she left my daughter terrified that something horrible had happened to me. I don't carry a cell I can't afford one. My daughter was getting better about both driving and me driving myself; because of this receptionist my daughter has now had a huge set back. I have to see that doctor again next week and I can't take them without air conditioning so what I'm going to have to do is make sure I find someone that sit with my daughter while I'm gone to help keep her anxiety level low. I don't have any choice I have to get there. I won't have anyone to carry my oxygen but I'm hoping I can in there.

Anything you can do would be greatly appreciated. I am more than happy to pay it forward as soon as I can. I have been a lifelong contributor to various causes and I know people are in dire straights right now. We all need help in one form or another. I would never ask if I could do this myself. Please forgive me.

If you would like to know more about the accident and my Grandson and his Grandmother who after losing her home and moving into a 3rd floor apartment made a terrible mistake in her depressed state go to http://ontheirway.vanderbiltchildrens.org/?article=7511 this a feature story Vanderbilt Children's Hospital did in their print and web magazine.

My daughter needs a car to go to school, work and take her 1 year old son to day care. IT hurts to see her trying so hard, all alone, taking baby out in the cold and walking in the snow. She has no choice. Her father refuses to help her. He hates my children and I. So I seek help from the kindness of strangers.

My daughter is a single mother who is struggling to make something of her life. She walks to and fro to Career Link trying to stay positive, complete the program, and hopefully find a job. Her faith, hope and dreams are dwindling. She's wants to give up. I'm support her as much as possible but my abusive husband (her father) keeps me from doing anything for her or my grandson. I don't have much to offer except my love and attention. What little I have I give. We battle not against Flesh & Blood, but against Principalities, Powers of Darkness & Spiritual Wickedness in High Places. It is a constant battle with Satan and his fallen demonic angels. I pray everyday for GOD's guidance. I've taught my children to love the LORD. Unfortunately int his EVIL CRUEL AND WICKED WORLD it's not enough. I really don't believe we'll ever get the help we seek. But it won't hurt to try. Oh I forgot, I would really love for her to be blessed with a car so we could both escape from My Nemisis and Enemy, once and for all. Our goal is flee this state, to go so far away from our Heart ache and pain, to start a new life and be happy again.

I am begging for a 1 time rent donation of $300.00 for my daughter who is homeless tomorrow at 11a.m. She just started working at McDonalds and hasn't gotten paid yet,she owes rent by tomorrow at 11am and i don't have the money to help. She has my 9 week old grandson and i don't want to see them in the streets. If you can help her please call her at 417-576-6519 asap. This is a desperate granny asking for help. Thankyou so much kerrcar

I'm a mother of four and a grandmother of 3 grandsons. My husband is an independent contractor and with the state of the economy he has not worked in over a year. We lost our home and my husband, myself and our only child at home our 14 year old son are living in a 1978 camper in my mother-in-laws back yard. It is winter Jan 2012 and we can only stay till spring and we have to move on. Her landlord will not allow us to stay any longer. I don't know where we will go. If you could help us we would like to get some land and build a cabin, nothing expensive or extragrant. It is tough on our son, he is a very good boy and has had to give up a lot. We have a 3 month old grandson that we have not seen yet. Please help us to accomplish our dream so, we have a place to enjoy our kids and grandkids. I really can't put a price on it but we could do this for about $20,000 or we will work with whatever we get.
Thank You for taking the time to read this and God Bless!

Both my husband and I are out off work.He with complications after back surgery.Me with a dislocated shoulder.I am also raising my grandson,whom we get no support for.We have so many bills,I lay awake all night worrying what we're going to do.The main concern most of all are utilities,food,and house payments.Any help that we can get would be greatly appreciated.In advance,GOD BLESS and Thank You so much for your kindness.

I am taking care of my 4 year old grandson. He is an extremely intelligent child, reading on a first grade level. He has shown an interest in music since he was an infant. In September, I placed him in some piano lessons. His music teacher was so impressed with him, she included him in the music school's holiday recital. She tells me my grandson has great potential, both in academics, and music. I would like to place him in school which would allow him to excel in both. I can not afford tuition and lessons for him on my income. Any donations would really be appreciated.

Short of blowing my brains out, I feel as though there is no light at the
end of the tunnel. I never could have envisioned being in the current
situation that I find myself in. Let me explain...My wife and I have been
married for 20 years and are raising 2 kids, a boy and a girl, both
teenagers. We always thought we were doing a good job at parenting...you
know, instilling laughter and family, morals and virtue, dignity and self

worth, etc. We just reached our 50's and were looking forward to possibly
traveling and spending some time together once the kids left the nest.
However, all that came to a screeching halt last year when our daughter
informed us that she was with child.(She was only 15 at the time!) KABOOOOM!
Talk about devastation. To add insult to injury, the young man and his
family went so far as to deny acknowledgement of the baby for the first six

months of his life, and to this date, (he's 10 months old) have not
contributed a dime to the babies welfare. To compound the injury, I was laid
off from work three months after his birth.
Needless to say, it has taken a tremendous toll on me and my wife. We have
exhausted our savings on rent, car payments, car insurance, utility bills,

medical bills, diapers, formula etc. We can barely buy food. There are days
I don't eat, just so the rest of the family can. I don't sleep much, between
looking for work and taking care of my grandson, (he is a blessing in
disguise. He gives me the strength I need to keep going. I put him to sleep
humming Amazing Grace) I find that I am experiencing intestinal pain as well
as severe migraines at times. I think I'll chalk it up to depression and
stress.

I've served my country proudly, and was honorably discharged...a few medals,
some ribbons, presidential letters of appreciation and so forth, but when I
asked for any type of assistance from the government I get denied because I
made a few dollars more than the threshold.

It gets better...the house we were renting was sold and we were given 2
weeks to move, we robbed from Peter to pay Paul to get into our current
residence. Now we find that we may have to move again by the beginning of
the new year, which at this time is impossible to do on our own. Needless to
say, Santa won't be making any house calls this year. (Although I will do
whatever it takes to make sure my grandson has a 1st Christmas.)

All of our bills are past due, due for disconnection or have been

disconnected. There is just no way we can do it by ourselves anymore. This
is by far the hardest and most embarrassing thing I've had to do in my life
and I'm not proud of it...however, as the song says "I ain't too proud to
beg". We need desperately for a miracle to keep from being homeless. Please
help us.
They say when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. Unfortunately, I ran
out of sugar. Please help us. God Bless!

I don't eat, just so the rest of the family can. I don't sleep much, between
looking for work and taking care of my grandson, (he is a blessing in
disguise. He gives me the strength I need to keep going. I put him to sleep
humming Amazing Grace) I find that I am experiencing intestinal pain as well
as severe migraines at times. I think I'll chalk it up to depression and
stress.

I've served my country proudly, and was honorably discharged...a few medals,
some ribbons, presidential letters of appreciation and so forth, but when I
asked for any type of assistance from the government I get denied because I
made a few dollars more than the threshold.

It gets better...the house we were renting was sold and we were given 2
weeks to move, we robbed from Peter to pay Paul to get into our current
residence. Now we find that we may have to move again by the beginning of
the new year, which at this time is impossible to do on our own. Needless to
say, Santa won't be making any house calls this year. (Although I will do
whatever it takes to make sure my grandson has a 1st Christmas.)

All of our bills are past due, due for disconnection or have been

disconnected. There is just no way we can do it by ourselves anymore. This
is by far the hardest and most embarrassing thing I've had to do in my life
and I'm not proud of it...however, as the song says "I ain't too proud to
beg". We need desperately for a miracle to keep from being homeless. Please
help us.
They say when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. Unfortunately, I ran
out of sugar. Please help us. God Bless!

Short of blowing my brains out, I feel as though there is no light at the
end of the tunnel. I never could have envisioned being in the current
situation that I find myself in. Let me explain...My wife and I have been
married for 20 years and are raising 2 kids, a boy and a girl, both
teenagers. We always thought we were doing a good job at parenting...you
know, instilling laughter and family, morals and virtue, dignity and self

worth, etc. We just reached our 50's and were looking forward to possibly
traveling and spending some time together once the kids left the nest.
However, all that came to a screeching halt last year when our daughter
informed us that she was with child.(She was only 15 at the time!) KABOOOOM!
Talk about devastation. To add insult to injury, the young man and his
family went so far as to deny acknowledgement of the baby for the first six

months of his life, and to this date, (he's 10 months old) have not
contributed a dime to the babies welfare. To compound the injury, I was laid
off from work three months after his birth.
Needless to say, it has taken a tremendous toll on me and my wife. We have
exhausted our savings on rent, car payments, car insurance, utility bills,

medical bills, diapers, formula etc. We can barely buy food. There are days
I don't eat, just so the rest of the family can. I don't sleep much, between
looking for work and taking care of my grandson, (he is a blessing in
disguise. He gives me the strength I need to keep going. I put him to sleep

I am not sure that this will work or that it ever has but I just can't sit back without asking for help. I have been in the hospital with lung problems. I have lost my job to a company that went bankrupt, I have lost my medical which I needed for bad because my husband had a massive heart attack and they had to put 4 stents in he is on all kinds of medicine. I am on 2 different inhalers and oxygen. We have our grandson living with us since he was born because his father was a drunk and drug user. He has now passed away and has left our grandson nothing because he never worked. We are trying to keep our house and a roof over this childs head. I ask God everyday to help me I am devoted Catholic and a strong believer in if you help others then it comes back to you. Well I have helped all my life and now I am asking for some help back. Please I will pay it back a little at a time if you so wish. I am a mother I am suppose to be the strong one. I don't cry in front of the children but they can tell I have been crying. They can't help because they are having it tough themselves. I wish I could help them.Please if there is anyone out there that can find it in there heart I swear I will pay it forward forever. Thank You Debbie

Hello .I am not going to beat around the bush . I am 55 a single dad . Financially I am strapped at the moment . I am so broke I had to use the free program on here .The 9 year old son and I have been living in this old run down home ,wasn't much be we called it home . well my daughter came home after a nasty break up with he cheating husband . Well the house was so old and drafty that it was impossible for me to heat the house . That wasn't so bad for us but my grand baby my daughters son 9 months old it was impossible to live in . So i took what little money i did have and rented a house that has a heater and running water . This took everything I had saved , now I'm so broke it hurts . Thing is i have no money to buy Christmas gifts for my 9 year old or grand baby . I would like to get my grandson a snowsuit and warm clothing for the winter because he has none and his cloths he has is beginning to get small on him and are summer cloths ,he is growing like a weed . Then I have my 9 year old son . Is is a bit physically slow due to asthma unable to play the same games physical other kids play I would like to get him some cheap computer or note book . Though his physical condition poor his mental capacity is great an all A student . I am very proud of him .

I am not use to begging and usually a proud hard working man , but my age and the way the economy is going I tend to be falling behind trying to make ends meat . Anything would be deeply appreciated and am willing to pay you back as I get it or even if you can send winter clothing for a 9 month old or even a ten month old or bigger and any kind of used electronic notebook or computer would be great and make me and my kids very happy in these hard times . If you wish to send a gift my sons name the 9 year old is Timothy Grabitz and my grandsons name is Joey . My address is; 2115 Clark Street Detroit Mi ,48209

Would like to thank you all for reading and hope the best for all of you in life .

I have never done anything like this before but I am desperate today. I lost my job due to the company went bankrupt. I lost my 401 k because the company went bankrupt it wasn't much but it was mine.I lost my medical for my family and have no job. I was diagnosed with a lung problem and have to be on oxygen and inhalers, now I can not work. The medicine I need is very expensive, plus my husband is on meds for his heart which he had a massive heart attack and 4 stents put in, he is working so hard to keep us afloat I am scared he is going to end up having another.We can't keep up with the mortgage. In our life time we have always helped the ones that needed it. We have taken in friends and there family, our family members, our kids friends when they had no place to go.We have never asked for anything from them either because that is what friends and family do for each other. We have been bringing up our grandson since he was born he is now 14, his father died 2 yrs ago. He and his mother live with us also. We have helped our neighbors and still do today. We take care of the lady next doors yard for her because her children are to busy with there own lives. We cut her lawn, rake the leaves, shovel the driveway and I love her she is my friend. The man across the street has cancer and can no longer do his yard so we help out there. Sometimes I make food for them and send it over. My mother said if you do good in this world and help others it will came back to you 10 times. So I ask of you to help us with anything you can so we can keep our home and stay and help my friends. We are so behind on everything I just don't see the light at the end of the tunnel please somebody get me a flashlight thank you for listening thank you for giving and god bless you and yours I don't have a paypal but here is my address if anyone wants to help 87 Main St Riverside RI 02915
