Fairy Godmother Vacancy!!

Posted by Cgjlk21 on 2012-05-11 12:58:27

Until recently, our child was cared for by a family member while we went to work. It helped us out immensely and we are very grateful for what they have done for us. Now however, due to health reasons, they can no longer help us out. Unfortunately, we cannot afford either of us to be out of work, but we are finding it increasingly difficult to pay for childcare. It doesn't help that my new childcare provider has messed up and is billing us twice. This is of course being looked into, but until it is sorted we keep receiving payment reminders and it is adding to the pressure. I'm looking for an evening job or weekend work to help make ends meet, but again there is the issue of childcare. My husband works 60 + hours a week and has health issues himself, but can't have the time off work he needs to sort the issue as he is self employed, and we simply cant afford for him not to work. We spent some of our savings on renovating our home, but we're unlucky enough to employ a rather dishonest person to carry out the work, and so had to spend the remainder of our savings putting things right. The house still isn't completed, we desperately need a new boiler and a washing machine, but at the moment just cannot afford them. Our child starts school this year, so we only have to struggle for a few more months, but until then any help would be greatly appreciated. I have considered starting my own childcare business so I can work while caring for my own child, but that requires funding. I guess I'm just feeling a bit down at the minute, and in need of a fairy godmother!!

SUFFERING FROM CROHN'S DISEASE, NEED HELP!

Posted by jenbotch on 2012-04-27 13:58:05

I just got released from the hospital this week after having been there for a week. I also have a condition called pyoderma gangrenasum which causes debilitating ulcers on my legs. I went in to have a doc see my ulcer because it had gotten to the point where it was painful to walk. They took blood tests and found a slew of other things wrong. They found that I was Anemic, low Vitamin D right off the bat. Upon further tests including colonoscopy, CT scan, Enema and more they found a blockage and a small hole in my colon so I was admitting and pumped with medication. I started feeling better and after a week they finally let me go home. I am still on multiple medications and am struggling with getting things back to normal. My Crohn's disease has made my life a living hell at times. Some days I can't eat without pain, I suffer from arthritis like symptoms that make it painful to walk, it wakes me up at night so I have difficulty sleeping and now on top of that I have become moody and depressed. I am unable to work and have no income. I am in the process of retrying to get disability after being denied because I am only in my 30s and they think I can still work. Stress makes my condition worse and I cant help but be stressed every day. I get very little relief. I have a wonderful fiance who has been struggling to pay for all of our living expenses on his own and it is making his life dramatically harder as well. I need help. I am asking for your grace and kindness right now. It is increasingly difficult to be able to afford just daily items such as soap and shampoo, not to mention medications because I am unable to afford insurance. Please if there is any amount you can give, it would be wholeheartedly appreciated. I am in dire straights right now.. Thank you for taking the time out to read this..

Family of5 in a motel room

Posted by needyfamily609 on 2012-02-05 23:58:37

To Whom It May Concern:

My name is Jean and I am a mother of three. I am married to William, for 4 years and we are NJ natives. I am a caregiver for my 60 year old mother who was diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Failure in January of 2011.

In June of 2010 my mother came from Michigan to live with me with the intention of helping me and my husband by watching our children during our working hours. My husband and I both work very long hours, and the children would have been required to spend long periods of time alone. So my mother came to help us fill the gap. In October of 2010, my mother’s health took a turn for the worse and it was continually getting worse as the year progressed. By January of 2011 my mother was unable to stand for any length of time and was always short of breath.

On February 10th I admitted my mother to the emergency room @ ACMC/Mainland. She was immediately diagnosed with kidney failure. She was admitted to ICU and on February 12th she had a cardiac arrest, due to toxic levels of magnesium, in her system. My mother suffered a sustained brain injury and to this day has a deficit she will have to live with forever. This deficit has taken away her ability to drive, live on her own, or be without some type of supervision.

My family suffered an extreme financial crisis that is ongoing and increasingly more devastating. I was out of work on FMLA for 8 weeks without pay. I was given $1200 in disability payments. I was allowed back to work, but with a significant decrease in pay and a change of position.

We have fallen behind in our bills in a catastrophic way. It seems the more we pay the more we owe. In fact, for the last week we have been without running water. Our gas has been off for three weeks and we use that for hot water, heat, and cooking. Our bank fees for the month of September have been astronomical (well over $400) for NSF charges and Service fees. This is just spiraling out of control. The children attend a local charter school and Pleasantville High school. Each child only has one pair of shoes and one uniform because I can’t get ahead of the curve to get them additional ones. The little ones need their school logo embroidered on the uniforms but that cost more than the shirt did.

We feel helpless and without some type of help we will continue to be a homeless family of six. We are currently living in a motel on the edge of our town. This is a pay by the hour type of place but it is the only place that will charge us by the week and will allow one of use to sleep on the floor. We are soliciting any type of help you can give. Please be mindful that we are hard working members of society. We have been working since we got out of high school. We are not beggars and we are willing to give back in the form of community service.
All I know is that we need help! Immediately or we’ll be past saving!
Thank you,
Jean Elam

Debt Increasing, Trying to Sort out my life.

Posted by tommylee on 2012-01-25 10:58:25

I have recently graduated from university, living on next to nothing and commuting. I have drawn up vast debts to be able to finish my degree. During recent months of not being able to find work, I have increased my debt and unable to afford my rent, falling increasingly behind. I only have a part time job to try and make ends meet, unsuccessfully. I have signed up for the army but will not start until the end of this year. £1000 will sort out my whole life get me on the right track. I am ashamed to do this, and hold a deep regret in asking, I would like to thank anyone who donates.

Please help me move out of our mouldy rented home!

Posted by sleepyferret1 on 2012-01-24 13:58:12

I am a 32 year old woman and i live with my 14 year old daughter and my 40 year old fiance of 12 years! We have always had money problems because whilst i have worked in retail, my fiance has had trouble finding a permanent full time job. I have been the breadwinner all of this time. We now have stable, permanent full time jobs and are working hard to pay off our debts that have been building up.

During the past 6 and a half years we had to downgrade our property and rent a small damp home in a rough part of town. The mould is getting increasingly worse and i have to de-mould the walls and windows every 3 weeks. The house smells damp and it is hard to retain the heat as there is no double glazing. The agency is aware of the problem but the landlord doesnt want to shell out any money to fix the cause of the mould/damp so has given us a dehumidifier!!
We are too embarrassed to invite friends or family over and likewise so is my daughter.

My fiance and i have been working to pay off all the debts that built up (£2,000 rent arrears £1,500 water rates, £500 council tax and a £1,500 electric bill). Thankfully we only owe £500 rent now and aim to pay this off by the end of may.

What we will struggle to do is save up a deposit for our next rented property. It will probably be about £1,000 for a months rent in advance and a deposit. We will get our deposit back from this house which is £380, and we will save as much as poss ourselves. We would all really like to move before summer as this house only has a tiny backyard and it doesn't even get any sunlight. The washing doesn't even dry out there!!
Any donations would be greatfully received and very much appreciated. The sooner we move, the better!

Family in need of help after suicide

Posted by fowc1 on 2012-01-24 12:58:04

Not quite sure how to start this but here goes..... I am a 24 year old mother of a beautiful 2 year old boy. We live in England and really need some help. My partner is a bus driver and works 50+ hours a week. He gets a ton of abuse and gets threatened on a weekly basis but does it to try and provide for his family. I work in retail as much as i can whilst juggling my son. We are both committed to working as we want to show our son good work ethics. My Dad committed suicide in 2009 and from then on our financial situation has got increasingly worse. Whilst tryin to support our own little family we are also having to support my Mum who is depressed and stuggling to cope financially. For anyone who has been there I'm sure you can understand how hard this is.
We now have a mountain of debt which we need to try and pay back whilst still paying our rent, bills and supporting my Mum.
If anyone can help us out of this awful situation we would be eternally grateful. Thankyou for taking the time to read this.

Trying to Start a New Life

Posted by midwestguy on 2012-01-13 19:58:32

Hi. I'm a young man of 34 years, still single, but enjoying life. I was well educated growing up and studied business in college. I've had some recent hard times with the economy just as everyone else has. But I was prepared and was able to survive on money I had saved up. But that wasn't enough, I had to cash in my retirement account in order to still make ends meet. Being the business-minded person I am, I took a hard look at my finances and cut back on every single thing I could. But even then, my expenses still seemed to be more than my income. I requested my student loan payments to be reduced based on economic hardship and found myself borrowing against my credit cards each month in order meet my financial obligations. Now, I've found myself borrowing on one credit card just to make the payment on another credit. I did this just to stay current on my monthly payments so I wouldn't ruin my credit. My credit rating is very important to me and I don't want to risk it being lowered.

Right now, here at the beginning of the year, I'm just trying to get a new start on life. I'm wanting to wipe out most of my debt so that I no longer have to worry and be stressed about that day after day and be able to concentrate on the more important things in my life. I've started clearing out a lot of clutter in my life. I've gone through a lot of my storage boxes and getting rid of things I no longer need. I'm selling my car that has been giving me issues since the summer and now needs a repair that will cost over $800. I'm making plans of moving to another part of the country which I feel has a lot more opportunity for me. I want to get more involved in the lives of our youth. I'm starting a website which gives tips on money management and plan to integrate a monthly email newsletter as well. I want to organize local meetups for youth to teach them about money. I was also recently hired as a tutor for an online tutoring company. And I want to get involved with Big Brothers too.

I feel that making these plans are the direction I'm being called towards. I feel it's right within my soul. And I feel there will be many positive aspects to this later on the down the road. But the truth is, I'm still in debt. I'm still trying to work on my financial obligations. The tutoring company I was hired with is a new company and was supposed to be live in January. But I was recently told there were some complications with the website and it may not be until March or April before we could start. So that was income I was counting on that's not happening right away. Add to that, I'm in the middle of moving and came across unforseen expenses that I was not expecting. Having no current job, I'm trying to find ways of paying for those. And since I'm moving, it's kind of difficult looking for a job. And since I have no job and no income, I'm really not sure how I'm going to afford a place to live once I do arrive.

So, as you can see, even though I've been trying to make some positive moves in my life, it's becoming increasingly difficult due to the lack of income and the increase in debt I have. So it would be a great help if you're able to make a small donation. Then I can start moving forward and changing my life for the better. Thanks so much for your consideration.

4 Person Family in Dire Need Of Help. PLEASE READ.

Posted by WinterNights on 2012-01-12 17:58:32

I have come across this site in hopes of people out there that can read this and hopefully assist my family with our financial emergencies; because there are many. I am a 26 year old male, and the only one who has a job right now in my family. I have a younger sister and younger brother. We live with our Mother in a small, cramped, decaying 2 bedroom apartment that can barely be suited for 2 individuals, let alone 4. Our Father has abandoned our family, this being several years ago. Since that time, and even before that time, we have been struggling with bills, rent payments, and utility expenses that are not included in our rent. After my Father left, the situation has gotten increasingly worse, with the term "living paycheck to paycheck" sounding like it would be a better life. We are living well below that standard, with the money I'm making barely covering rent payments; sometimes going into the next month. My bills are always 2-3 months behind, because I simply cannot pay them. My Mother's bills are even worse, some 4,5, even 6 months back. We simply do not have enough money to get back on track, and I feel that soon this battle may be lost if something goes wrong. If I lose my job or somehow become incapacitated; we are homeless, it's that simple. In total, truthfully my family needs close to $70,000.00 to get out of our financial crunch. This includes my bills, as well as my loan for my truck, being the only family vehicle and me as the only one who can drive. I have $12,000.00 left on that loan, and due to rent I cannot pay it. If I default(I have already received repossession letters), we are in serious trouble. My other bills, such as credit cards and loans against my 401K to pay for rent are roughly $15,000.00. Credit cards were maxed out to pay bills, and I could not make the payments back, that is why they are maxed out. My sister's student loans for college, which are approximately $30,000.00, my Mother's bills which are ALL behind, are close to $14,000.00, which are credit cards again for bills, and interest on those cards due for over the credit limit penalties. I beg any and everyone who is capable and able to donate to please do. This situation is not getting any better, and I fear the worse. With eviction threats, repossession letters, and certified mail coming with threatening legal actions being taken against us for being unable to pay these bills, stress would be an understatement. Rent is $1575 a month, not including utilities. With utilities, we pay over $2,000.00 a month, just to keep a roof over our heads and appliances for food working. PLEASE, we need help, desperately and immediately. I thank anyone who has read this in advance. Thank you so much, any contribution would really be a blessing.

Just need a little help...

Hi, it's just my husband and I and we've been living paycheck to paycheck which becomes increasingly frustrating. I have a part time job, not having much success finding anything full time. My husband works for a carpet installer and hasn't had much work over the holidays. Our mortgage is coming up and even though we are not even a month behind yet, the mortgage company already sent us a letter with an auction notice if we don't pay our december mortgage by january 9. So if anyone can help us, with any amount no matter how small, we would greatly appreciate it because it would be helping us out a lot. We look forward to being able to pay it forward. Thank you for listening and happy new year.

Money would help, Services would be best.

Posted by financeagony on 2011-12-21 02:58:31

Thank you for taking the time to listen to my story.
Financial support would be deeply appreciated, but ultimately I seek the opportunity to learn the skills to live a self-sufficient life. I am a college educated single mother of a vivacious boy in 3rd grade. More than ever he deserves a healthy mom who can provide all of his basic needs.
My greatest desires include: intensive therapy, financial / budgeting counseling, and physical therapy.
Even though I have had some productive years, I continue to struggle with bouts of debilitating depression. After these episodes it has become increasingly difficult to rebuild my life. I am enrolled in the state run therapeutic program, but because of high demand meetings are bi-weekly at best.
I admittedly have done an atrocious job at managing my finances. Over the years I have attempted several different budgeting styles unsuccessfully, I am certain that much of my failure is due to simply not understanding how to budget effectively.
Finally, following an accident in 2008 I have continued to suffer chronic pain. I am confident that physical therapy would resolve much of the pain. Again financial limitations inhibit me from seeking treatment.
At this time I have been out of work for 1 year, which is the longest I have been unemployed since being of working age. At present I am enrolled in a Work Force program. Although my doctors have not cleared me for work, I continue to utilize what the program offers to the best of my ability.
I am doing my best to make the most of the help that is available to me, but my resources and spirit are dwindling.
I am open to any advice, and would be most grateful to anyone who would be willing to donate their time to help me reach my goals.

I am not the daughter referred to in the title of my post. She is much too proud to beg for anything. I am her boyfriend and I am the one she talks to every night as she cries herself to sleep. I do not wish to be overdramatic in attempts to get money but this is truly what happens each night and it breaks my heart to see her in such pain, what is worse is that I can do nothing to help her accept provide her with comfort.
Her name is Lindsey Hill and all she wants to do is go to college and leave her parent's nest. Her parents have told her that God has told them that she shouldn't be leaving home. They want her to remain in her hometown and go to the local JC. She has lived in her hometown for the last 18 years of her life. Everyone she knew has moved on with their lives and moved out. She was very depressed while living in her home town and does not want to return to live under her parent’s roof where they set strict rules and regulations on everything she does and everywhere she goes.
Because her parents have decreed that their intentions are the will of God they see what they want as absolute truth, therefore they have begun sabotaging every aspect of her financial life in order to prove themselves, and their ultimatums, right and just and get her back home. They have stopped paying for everything. Insurance, phone bills, living expenses, everything. She is 18 and away from home for the first time in her life in a big city and is completely and utterly financially independent. She has worked hard to keep her head above water since she has moved. She even moved down before she could get a job lined up which was a necessity and almost put her on the streets. She is barely getting enough hours at her job to keep a roof over her head. She rents a small bedroom and her dream of going to college to pursue higher education is completely out of the question for her financially.
Her parents say that she has to choose between living a life of sin and labor without education where she is at, or listening to God and coming back to the light. They want her to live with them and go to the local JC or else, they threaten, she will become just like her "messed up" sister who moved out a few years earlier and is now underemployed with no hope of going to school. Her sister left because she couldn't handle living under her parent's insane household. She is a beautiful and brilliant girl but is stuck in a rut in her life due to a lack of support from her parents. She makes enough money to live in a small home and has no intentions of being able to pay for college. Lindsey loves her sister but has big dreams and an amazing head on her shoulders; she does not want her lifestyle to end up like her sister’s.
Her parents will continue to do whatever they can to get their daughter on the streets including guilt tripping her for not visiting but refusing to help her pay for the $200 gas bill that it takes for her to make the trip.
I am not saying that religious people are all crazy. I, myself, am a Christian who studies his bible weekly and is often at church. That is actually how Lindsey and I met. We both try to live Christian lifestyles and we often encourage each other in our faith.
She is a brilliant girl. Only 18 and is exceedingly bright, fiercely compassionate, and a relentlessly hard worker. She is already getting raises at her competitive job but hates it there with a searing passion. She wants to go to school and have a better future but she cannot find any support from her parents. God is telling them to tear her down and bring her back to the nest by any means necessary (of course this is not how they see things) All I know is that these folks desperately need to learn a lesson or they will lead very bitter lives without the company of their amazing daughter. I don’t want that future for any of them!
I do not claim to know the will of God but the one thing he tells me in my heart as I pray is that what Lindsey's parents are doing to her is wrong. Please help me to provide a better future for my beautiful Lindsey. I feel powerless and I want to give her the world. Her parents believe that their will matches Gods and is absolute truth and I need anyone's help to counter this ignorant assault on the future of an amazing woman who is just trying to live her life after spending 18 years in a town she hates with people she is finding it increasingly hard to appreciate. Please help Lindsey go to college.

email me at DerikmSmith@gmail.com if you are interested at all in helping out. Anything will help.

Please help

Hello.
I have not done this before, but I am at the end of my rope. I was a newspaper reporter for 11 years. The last two newspapers I worked for went out of business. Since it has become increasingly difficult to work for newspapers, I have been trying to get my own writing and editing business going. In my spare time, I have been looking for other employment, but I have been unable to find a job. I am bringing in very little money. My husband makes enough money to exclude us from government help, but not enough to put food on the table to feed everyone daily. And, today our water got shut off.
I have Type 1 diabetes, which costs roughly $300 per month for supplies. We have a four-year-old child that had to have dental work to fill cavities. Sometimes, we struggle to fill her lunch box for school.
To top it all off, I am trying to get across the country to see my grandfather before he dies. I cannot afford to make the trip.
Please help us. We are hard working people who need help. Please.

I don't know what to say to get your attention.

Posted by loriareid75 on 2011-09-10 01:58:06

I don't know how to do this properly, but I will be honest.

My husband's teeth are really bad, he had his jaw broken 10 years ago and has since lost all of his top teeth and his bottoms are all broken. He has an infection in his jaw that could go to his heart but we can't afford to get his bottom teeth pulled. He is currently 20+ lbs underweight and malnourished. He also has a mass in his bladder that we can't afford to have biopsied, even though he has a referral.

We have no income because he is unable to work and I am disabled but still fighting Social Security for any assistance, with little success.

Neither of us use drugs or alcohol, though we do have a few friends that will smoke marijuana with us occasionally.

I try to donate plasma as often as I am able, but I have to go on days that my disability isn't apparent to them, so they don't ban me, as I, technically, can't afford the loss of white blood cells.

We have sold everything of value in our home and at this point we will be losing electric and internet on Wed, Sept 14th, 2011. My daughter is 18 but can't get a job due to the fact that we cannot afford the $10 to get a copy of her original birth certificate, so she cannot get an i.d.

We have no vehicle and take a rolling suitcase to the grocery when our foodstamps come, but due to bus fare, this is becoming increasingly difficult.

There are a lot of things that I, personally, need and go without, but I am genuinely most concerned with my husband and I growing old together, which won't happen if his health continues to decline. He is 39, I am 36, we have been together 16 years.

I don't know if this rant will do any good, but for the love of all that is holy, I hope someone, somewhere, sees it and feels compelled to investigate the reality of our situation.

Most sincerely,
Lori, Nick, and Brit

Help Paying Rent

Posted by jasper913 on 2011-07-18 10:58:10

I am married with 5 children. We live in a 2 bedroom apartment because at the time that is all we could afford. Even now that is becoming increasingly difficult to manage. I was laid off, and my wife is working a minimum wage job, but it is not enough to get by. I am actively searching for work without success to this point. I have no where to go with my family if we are evicted. Please if anyone can help, any amount would be appreciated more than words could say.
Hello, I'm Alex, I'm 24 years old and have joined this website in the hope of finding at least a partial solution to my current issues.

I am currently unemployed and am looking for a job, but I'm having great difficulty in finding one. In the meantime, I have credit card bills to pay, which I know, when cleared, I will use much more carefully in the future. But whatever little money I do receive for now is nowhere near enough to cover my bills.

Because I have limited qualifications, I'm struggling more to find work, so I intend to go to college next year to study on a one year Access to HE course. Completing this would enable me to study for my degree at university. But until I resolve my basic financial crisis, this is a plan that I will have to postpone, but at the same time, while I'm not studying, I'm finding it increasingly difficult to find a job. What can I do?

The total debt is around £3000, which I'm not receiving any assistance with from the people I know. This is giving me nothing but stress and headaches and is hindering me from achieving what I want.

If anyone can spare me something, no matter how small, it will be massively appreciated! Even if I only receive a fraction of what I need, it will have been a massive help!

Coming Together For Cody

Posted by codysmama on 2011-02-12 21:58:58

http://www.giveforward.com/comingtogetherforcody

Please visit our page listed above to help Cody!

Our little Cody has not been well. Since he was just a month or so old he has had a problem choking when he eats. Around the time that he was eight months old we noticed he was having these choking episodes with much more frequency and they were becoming more severe. It got to the point where we were afraid to even give him a bottle without having the phone ready to call 911!

We took him to his doctor, who suggested we see a feeding specialist. And so began our journey.....

Right away Rosie (the specialist) noticed that Cody had trouble moving his tongue and chewing food. He tended to rush when he ate and that caused even more choking, but he was choking on everything- even just water. After a horrifying episode during one of his sessions, in which Cody choked on a piece of bread and turned blue, Rosie and Dr. Pepper (Cody's doctor) decided it was time for a Swallow Study.

During the study our little Cody enjoyed every last bit of barium as we watched him mash up food and try to swallow it. The speech therapist who was monitoring the test noticed that Cody's esophagus didn't seem to be moving quite right, he rarely chewed and had a lot of acid reflux going on. Aside from those observations, Cody had Oral Dysphagia as well. Those findings led us to an Upper GI Study that ruled out some really bad stuff, but Cody started having new symptoms. He was having difficulty breathing and had to be on nebulizer treatments, was increasingly grumpy, was gassy and had a very full looking belly that hurt so badly sometimes that he couldn't give us hugs. It wasn't long until he slowed down on his eating and Dr. Pepper decided it was time for a trip to Denver Children's Hospital.

In Denver Cody met a Pediatric Gastroenterologist and Pulmonary doctor who read his records and checked him in for several more tests. An Endoscopy and a Broncoscopy turned up a very nice looking esophagus (even the biopsies looked good!) but some pretty bad asthma. They placed a tube in his nose for another test called a PH Impedence Study to measure what was coming back up form the stomach and during which times it was happening. This was all very hard on our tiny little man. He had a horrible reaction to the anethesia which forced him to have to be hooked up to monitors. Anyone who knows our Cody knows what a busy little guy he is!

The results were confusing, though, because Cody had been on a medication that was supposed to help with motility and we knew it did SOMETHING for him- but with his great looking esophagus we weren't sure what it was helping with. If his esophagus was moving fine, why did a drug that was supposed to help it move make him feel a little better? The doctors decided to do a Gastric Emptying Study as well. Cody was NOT happy because he couldn't eat for yet another day. If you know our Cody- you know he loves to eat!

The next day we did the study and it didn't take long to get the results. In the time it takes the average stomach to empty, Cody's stomach had only emptied 7% of it's contents. The medication had been helping his little belly move. Unfortunately, it has some nasty side effects and he can't go back on it. They are currently trying him on a low dose of Erythromycin, which is the last medication available to treat Gastroparesis (Delayed Gastric Emptying), according to our medical team.

We soon got the results of the tube they placed in his nose, as well. Cody has a pretty big reflux problem, too. Since his belly is so slow to empty, his acid has no place to go but up. No wonder he is so grumpy. The constant flow of acid is also a huge trigger for the breathing problems he is having. They are now trying him on both Zantac and Prevacid- both drugs that have not worked well alone, but we are praying they will work better together.

We are trying hard to give Cody small meals throughout the day and to incorporate all the nutrients he needs, but its hard. With the delayed emptying we are supposed to avoid high fat and high fiber foods. We already have to avoid eggs, dairy, soy, berries and nuts due to allergies, so you can imagine what a challenge we have on our hands!

Cody's GI doctors have recomended 2-3 surgeries, including a feeding tube. Gastroparesis is a Dysmotility Disorder. There is a small chance he could outgrow this and there is also a small chance it is actually caused by something treatable- although in 60% of the cases there is no known cause.

In order to fully understand Cody's condition, why he has it and what all the options are, as well as how to care for him properly- we need to take him to Columbus, Ohio to see one of the very few Dysmotility Specialists in the country. We have no idea how long we'll have to be there or how much of this trip will come out of our pockets. Cody's insurance does not cover any travel expenses and will likely not cover any repeat testing he may need. He is currently on a modified diet and they don't cover the costs of any of that, either.


We are asking that our friends, family and anyone who is able come together to help us- both financially and spiritually. We need the finances to get us there and keep us going even when we can't work due to surgery or whatever may come; and we need your prayers and support to keep us strong as we try to manage this difficult and unfamiliar situation. We want so badly for our baby to feel better- he has brought us so much joy and is truely our little sunshine!

Thank you all so much for taking the time to read our story and for doing what you can!

Please help me move out of my abusive home

Posted by depressedinneed on 2010-12-16 21:58:58

Hello,

I've had severe depression for over 15 years. Recently, I also developed social anxiety disorder. Between the two, it became so debilitating that I had to move in with a family member who has since become increasingly abusive every day. I really need to move, but have not been able to find a job or raise any funds for first and last month's rent elsewhere (roughly $2000). Any help is much appreciated! Thank you

Emit Needs Eyes

Posted by LadiBug on 2010-12-04 22:58:58

Hello! We are raising up to $3,000.00 for Emit.

Emit is my father-in-laws beautiful brown lab. He recently started having cataract problems at the age of 3. We were all saving up the money to take him in and get him cataract surgery when my father-in-laws house burnt down last year.

Since the fire, Emit's eyes have grown increasingly worse and the money for his eyes had to go to the deductable for the insurance company as well as the initial costs of rebuilding and buying bare necessaties like clothing. It is truely amazing how much you take for granted when you have nothing!

It has been a VERY difficult year and a painful financial blow. We have been unable to save back up the 3,000.00 $ to take Emit in for his surgery. It is horrible to watch a playful pup with so many more years ahead of him have trouble walking in the yard. He doesnt even see a tree and will walk right into it.

We also have been scared and have had to limit his freedom in the yard due to the pool and the deck stairs. We have to leave water in the pool in case he were to fall in. Since the fire though, there is no money to even pay for chemicals so it is quite dirty water :( He has also fallen down the stairs and hurt his leg so we have to caution his movements there as well.

Emit doesnt understand his restrictions! We want to be able to take him in and get his eyes corrected as soon as possible! My husband and I are raising money for this cause and hope to present it to my father-in -law (and Emit) on Christmas.

Please help us in any way you can!

Kandi Boo Animal Rescue

Dear Friend:

My name is Barbie Nemeth.

I am writing to you on behalf of opening our new not-for-profit “no-kill” animal rescue organization. In greater Savannah, Chatham, Liberty & Effingham Counties

Our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate cats and dogs that are on the high kill list for euthanasia, treating their illness if any and placing homeless animals into safe and loving homes, and not toward administrative costs.

Our family and dear friends “Lindsey Mlekush” & Amanda Hein have been donating food, time, medical supplies, under ground fencing, blankets , pillows, tarp everything you can imagine a helpless animal needs to numerous rescues throughout Georgia for quite sometime now. We are always looking for the best way we can help these helpless animals.

After some excited brainstorming we came up with the idea to open our own not for profit rescue. Hence the name “Kandi Boo Rescue” came about.

Please allow me to offer some background into what inspired us to open Kandi Boo Animal Rescue.

We were informed, through corroborated stories of animal rescue volunteers of many unspoken tragedies that were suffered by the less fortunate animals at the local humane society. Notwithstanding the tireless endeavors and good intentions of the animal shelter, the fact remains that these facilities are unable to handle the increasingly heavy caseload of animals that are being rescued, abandoned or
relinquished every month - and unfortunately, the only option that many of these animals face is euthanasia.

After being made aware of the heartbreaking plight of these homeless animals, we feel
committed to do something to assist these no-kill animal rescue organizations, which are committed not only to educating the public about the issues of animal overpopulation, and offering of spay and neuter services to help address this problem, but also to finding foster or permanent homes for homeless animals, in lieu of euthanizing them. Our goal is to help defray some of their ongoing rescue-related costs: e.g., imminent medical care, food, sheltering, and follow-up vet visits (which include prescription costs).

Over the past few weeks, the media has given coverage to the heartbreaking plight of homeless animals – people are abandoning them left and right as they struggle to make ends meet.



The situation has become acute, and although taking measures to help
control the overpopulation of animals is important (through spay & neuter programs), our hearts lie with alleviating some of the current suffering of those animals already born that are unable to help themselves.

As a frequent donor to numerous charitable causes myself, I am sensitive to the fact that during this time of economic recession, it is most important to reach out and lend a hand to those less fortunate than myself, including the animals.
I myself own 4 former rescue dogs, Lindsey owns 2 former rescues and Amanda fosters animals from other No Kill Rescue Centers until they get adopted into their forever home.

Our last former “rescue”, who came to us, a very sweet, but timid guy, who rarely wagged his tail, and was too shy to display much affection. Now – “Sebastian” “referred to as “Mr. Wiggles” by some of his female fans) - is the estate’s ambassador of love, and a huge hit with our guests – especially the children.

It would be wonderful to offer a second chance at happiness to many more of these helpless animals who want nothing more but to be part of a loving home.

And so the dilemma begins.

We lease a 3 bedroom home on a very nice property…however the owner of the property will not give us permission to build kennels for the animals in the high kill facilities. And we are not in a position to buy a home as all of our extra income goes to care for these animals.

That is where you come in, we are graciously asking if you can donate a 3 bedroom mobile home and possibly a spot of land in the greater Savannah, GA area.
Either or is great, but if you could donate both we could get started allot faster in the building process.

Everything we receive is through donations, we don’t ask for cash donations in any way, shape or form. Materials for building the kennels, dog food Veterinarian vouchers for animals that need medical attention so on and so forth.

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT YOUR DONATION IS 100% Tax DEDUCTIBLE !!!!

Our EIN number is 27-3751980
And our letter of Recognition for Exemption is in process as we speak.

We hope you will consider supporting what we believe to be a truly noble and selfless cause, being carried out by the many unsung heroes in our community.

We hope to be hearing from you very soon.
Sincerely

Once we are up and running with the rescue we plan to incorparate Autistic children as well as children with other handicaps into our program.


Twice a month we will have the children come to the rescue and spend time with the animals, these 2 issues are very near and dear to our entire family and community.

Please save a life, help the high kill cats and dogs, help the children.

Mission Statement:
Our Mission Statement:

Our mission is to protect the welfare of the animals we come in contact with, and to promote the humane treatment and well being of these animals by:

Providing shelter and medical care for stray or abandoned animals in the Greater Savannah, Chatham County, Effingham County and Liberty County area's of Georgia.

Responding with personal commitment, humane sensitivity, compassion, and technical skill to the needs of these animals, actively promoting suitable adoptions of the animals.


Encouraging the spay and neutering of dogs and cats to ensure the numbers of unwanted animals be kept to a minimum; and helping to prevent cruelty to animals by promoting animal welfare legislation and education.

Local Rescue Groups only succeed in partnership with the community. Partnering with the Animal Care professions, local businesses, supporters, members and many hours of volunteer time make this work. Can you help us take care of more dogs and cats?

The Community Veterinarians who discount their services help CARE save many lives yet even then, the cost of surgery and post operative care adds up quickly.

Taking care of Rescued animals is something we do best.
We know because we do it and have surely passed the test.

The animals we bathed, the food we have fed, the vacuuming we have done, and all to watch a frightened soul, sit dreaming in the sun.

We know they understand this, for in their eyes we see the love that we have given them come shining back at us.

Some people think we are crazy, some others think we are great.
But very few can understand what really is at stake.

If we can love and help an animal to find a better way.
Our lives are much richer, we look forward to each day.

So now you know our secret, it's there for all to see.
The love we give, the life we save, it’s all for our selfish needs!

I myself own 4 former rescue dogs, Lindsey owns 2 former rescues and Amanda fosters animals from other No Kill Rescue Centers until they get adopted into their forever home.

Our last former “rescue”, who came to us, a very sweet, but timid guy, who rarely wagged his tail, and was too shy to display much affection. Now – “Sebastian” “referred to as “Mr. Wiggles” by some of his female fans) - is the estate’s ambassador of love, and a huge hit with our guests – especially the children.

It would be wonderful to offer a second chance at happiness to many more of these helpless animals who want nothing more but to be part of a loving home.

And so the dilemma begins.

We lease a 3 bedroom home on a very nice property…however the owner of the property will not give us permission to build kennels for the animals in the high kill facilities. And we are not in a position to buy a home as all of our extra income goes to care for these animals.

That is where you come in, we are graciously asking if you can donate a 3 bedroom mobile home and possibly a spot of land in the greater Savannah, GA area.
Either or is great, but if you could donate both we could get started allot faster in the building process.

Everything we receive is through donations, we don’t ask for cash donations in any way, shape or form. Materials for building the kennels, dog food Veterinarian vouchers for animals that need medical attention so on and so forth.

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT YOUR DONATION IS 100% Tax DEDUCTIBLE !!!!

Our EIN number is 27-3751980
And our letter of Recognition for Exemption is in process as we speak.

We hope you will consider supporting what we believe to be a truly noble and selfless cause, being carried out by the many unsung heroes in our community.

We hope to be hearing from you very soon.
Sincerely

Mission Statement:
Our Mission Statement:

Our mission is to protect the welfare of the animals we come in contact with, and to promote the humane treatment and well being of these animals by:

Providing shelter and medical care for stray or abandoned animals in the Greater Savannah, Chatham County, Effingham County and Liberty County area's of Georgia.

Responding with personal commitment, humane sensitivity, compassion, and technical skill to the needs of these animals, actively promoting suitable adoptions of the animals.


Encouraging the spay and neutering of dogs and cats to ensure the numbers of unwanted animals be kept to a minimum; and helping to prevent cruelty to animals by promoting animal welfare legislation and education.

Local Rescue Groups only succeed in partnership with the community. Partnering with the Animal Care professions, local businesses, supporters, members and many hours of volunteer time make this work. Can you help us take care of more dogs and cats?

The Community Veterinarians who discount their services help CARE save many lives yet even then, the cost of surgery and post operative care adds up quickly.

Taking care of Rescued animals is something we do best.
We know because we do it and have surely passed the test.

The animals we bathed, the food we have fed, the vacuuming we have done, and all to watch a frightened soul, sit dreaming in the sun.

We know they understand this, for in their eyes we see the love that we have given them come shining back at us.

Some people think we are crazy, some others think we are great.
But very few can understand what really is at stake.

If we can love and help an animal to find a better way.
Our lives are much richer, we look forward to each day.

So now you know our secret, it's there for all to see.
The love we give, the life we save, it’s all for our selfish needs!

Dear Friend:

My name is Barbie Nemeth.

I am writing to you on behalf of opening our new not-for-profit “no-kill” animal rescue organization. In greater Savannah, Chatham, Liberty & Effingham Counties

Our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate cats and dogs that are on the high kill list for euthanasia, treating their illness if any and placing homeless animals into safe and loving homes, and not toward administrative costs.

Our family and dear friends “Lindsey Mlekush” & Amanda Hein have been donating food, time, medical supplies, under ground fencing, blankets , pillows, tarp everything you can imagine a helpless animal needs to numerous rescues throughout Georgia for quite sometime now. We are always looking for the best way we can help these helpless animals.

After some excited brainstorming we came up with the idea to open our own not for profit rescue. Hence the name “Kandi Boo Rescue” came about.

Please allow me to offer some background into what inspired us to open Kandi Boo Animal Rescue.

We were informed, through corroborated stories of animal rescue volunteers of many unspoken tragedies that were suffered by the less fortunate animals at the local humane society. Notwithstanding the tireless endeavors and good intentions of the animal shelter, the fact remains that these facilities are unable to handle the increasingly heavy caseload of animals that are being rescued, abandoned or
relinquished every month - and unfortunately, the only option that many of these animals face is euthanasia.

After being made aware of the heartbreaking plight of these homeless animals, we feel
committed to do something to assist these no-kill animal rescue organizations, which are committed not only to educating the public about the issues of animal overpopulation, and offering of spay and neuter services to help address this problem, but also to finding foster or permanent homes for homeless animals, in lieu of euthanizing them. Our goal is to help defray some of their ongoing rescue-related costs: e.g., imminent medical care, food, sheltering, and follow-up vet visits (which include prescription costs).

Over the past few weeks, the media has given coverage to the heartbreaking plight of homeless animals – people are abandoning them left and right as they struggle to make ends meet.



The situation has become acute, and although taking measures to help
control the overpopulation of animals is important (through spay & neuter programs), our hearts lie with alleviating some of the current suffering of those animals already born that are unable to help themselves.

As a frequent donor to numerous charitable causes myself, I am sensitive to the fact that during this time of economic recession, it is most important to reach out and lend a hand to those less fortunate than myself, including the animals.
