Someone put transmission fluid in my brake fluid! Help!

Posted by pt1323 on 2012-05-21 15:58:15

The brakes went and I was able to get my brother to help me pay for parts and he did the labor for me for free. But the brakes didn't get better, they got worse. After some further investigation, it was discovered that someone had actually put transmission fluid in my brake fluid reservoir! The transmission fluid has eaten through my entire brake system completely and everything needs to be replaced right down to each individual valve and everything, including the new parts I had put on last week! The only thing I can save are the actual metal brake lines- but at least it's something. Just the parts alone is going to be over $1000 even with my brother doing the labor where he works. I just can't come up with the money for the parts and now I can't get to either one of my jobs and I'm really stressing out.
Please consider helping me in any way you can. I understand life isn't easy for anyone and maybe someone else needs the help more than I do right now. But I do need help. And having to even ask has been really hard too. Please consider any donation. I promise I will find a way to someday help someone else in need in return.
Thanks for your time.

Please help me LIVE a little bit longer.

Thank You so very much for your help. Heres my story. I am in my early 30s. I am a mother of two loving kids ages 4 and 9. My husband moved out a year ago after a bout of depression, stating "I love you thats why I cant stand to stay here n watch you die like this!" And it is true anyone who has watched a loved one waste away before thier eyes can tell you it eats your soul. In a way I cant blame him. I have hopes we will someday get our family back together. Untill then I am in this alone, and now find my self here asking you for help.
I have several cronic illnesses. Including scoliosis:Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine that occurs most often during the growth spurt just before puberty. While scoliosis can be caused by conditions such as cerebral palsy and muscular dystrophy, the cause of most scoliosis is unknown. My scoliosis curve got worse, the spine rotated and twisted, in addition to curving side to side. This caused the ribs on one side of the body to stick out farther than on the other side. Severe scoliosis can caused back pain and difficulty breathing. In my case In severe scoliosis, the rib cage may press against the lungs and heart, making it more difficult to breathe and harder for the heart to pump.I also experience harsh neurological affects of Muscle weakness, Numbness and Abnormal reflexes. To save my life I had to have surgery.
Surgery involves correcting the curve (although not all the way) and fusing the bones in the curve together. The surgeon lays bone grafts across the exposed surface of each vertebra. These grafts will regenerate, grow into the bone, and fuse the vertebrae together. The bones are held in place with one or two metal rods held down with hooks and screws, helping to support the fusion of the vertebrae.I went through all this at age 13. But now with the onset of sevral more cronic illness complication from the surgery that once saved my life now slowly kill me.
Years later I began getting sicker and sicker by the time I was 20 my spine was degenerating causing horrible pain, I had to have my appendix removed, then gallblader went bad. We never dreamed these all had a common factor. Doctors just shook their head proclaiming :you are just so young for your body to be failing like this". Eventually it was discovered I have Lupus and severe arthritus. Lupus is an autoimmune disease, meaning that the body' s immune system mistakenly attacks healthy organs and tissue. Lupus can affect any part of the body, causing inflammation and damage in joints, skin, kidneys, heart, lungs, blood vessels, or the brain. More than 90% of people with lupus have skin rashes, often triggered by exposure to the sun, and about half have kidney and lung problems. Because lupus affects the joints, it is considered a rheumatic (arthritis) disease.
Upon this discovery things began to make sense. So doctors now knowing why began a body wide check up to see what all has been affected. One test was A bone mineral density (BMD) test measures how much calcium and other types of minerals are present in a section of your bone. Your health care provider uses this test, along with other risk factors, to predict your risk of bone fractures in the future and detect osteoporosis. Bone fracture risk is highest in people with osteoporosis. They found I indeed had osteoporosis at the age of 22. SO now My bones are weaking causing damage areas all over my body, but the most serious being in my spine. Now comes the arthritis/lupus, they see these damaged areas and my own imune system attacks. Eating at the damaged areas creating even more damage, which increases the area the lupus attacks. It is a vicious circle. I have now been treated with medication over 10 yrs. But they can only slow the illness there is no cure, and dure to my scoliosis and the metal rods in my back surgical treatment options are very limited.
The damage is so severe I was decared legally disabled by the age of 23. My only income is SSI. I have to support my children and I on 658.00 a month. Thank God the court issued my ex to pay my rent in lue of child support. I am asking for help to cover upcoming medical bills. In the last 14 months I have had 5 seperate kidney surgery. My right kidney is damaged and I will soon be having a 6th surgery. This one to remove damaged section of the tube that leads from the kidney to bladder. then they will reattach at a higher section of bladder. I will aslo be having several Jaw surgeries. Due to exposure to radiation, osteoperosis a excessive vomiting of stomache acid my teeth are breaking and falling out. The doctor needs to repair what they can and put in inplants for what they cant. This will slow the degineration of my jaw. Without this treatment my jaw is going to cave in. Currently I am only able to eat mushy foods. I have drastically lost weight and my body is stuggling to heal due to the stress, pain and infection. So I hunbly beg of you to help me 1.00 or 50.00 anything would help. These procedures will not only improve my quality of life but aslo help extend my time here on earth just a little ehile longer. I just want to be with my kids as long as I can.Whith each dollar you donate its like adding an hour to my life.....What would you give for a few more hours with the ones you love?

Please help me LIVE a little bit longer.

**Please Help Me Stay Afloat**

Posted by helppaypaul on 2012-03-21 12:58:33

I can't get out of the payday loan trap! My next loan is due Friday 3/23/12 and will take my entire paycheck! I also have $60 in tool bills due Friday-if I lose my tools, I lose my job as a mechanic. Beyond that, I have $107 phone bill that's overdue, and a $282 electric bill due on 3/27/12. If I don't pay the electric bill on time, my previous payment arrangement is void, and the entire $700 is due immediately or my power will be cut off. I work full time as does my spouse and we are doing everything possible to make ends meet, but we need to do more. We collect & sell scrap metal, recycle & repurpose, coupon, etc...the things the "experts" say to stretch a dollar. I know most people are just getting by as it is these days, but even just a dollar will help...that's enough for a meal for my beautiful 8 year old daughter. I have a $1/hr raise coming soon, but not soon enough. Thank you for your generosity.

Help with travel to hospital

Posted by SwsMum on 2012-02-16 15:58:30

HI, I'm a married mum of two, and our family is going through a tough patch. My daughter has a rare neurological condition called Sturge Weber syndrome, which consists of a large Port Wine Birthmark covering two thirds of her face, scalp, and chest, learning difficulties, speech delay, potentially glaucoma in the future. Thankfully she has never had a full seizure that so many SWS children have daily. She started school this year, and we were successful in applying for a Support Teacher and Language Therapist to help her so she could attend mainstream school. When I say successful, I mean we fought all the way !!! This extra teaching she receives means she gets a lot of homework to keep up with the rest of the class, so I went part time at work, so I could pick her up from school, at spend the time concentrating on her homework, etc. so this had a significant effect on our finances. But my husbands business was doing Ok. He and another partner run a small metal work business, just the two of them. However, since October 2011, the work for them has dried up, and there has been several months where they've not had enough business to take home any pay. We also have to take out daughter to a hospital 300 miles away for her laser surgery for the Port Wine Birthmark. The surgery is to lighten the birthmark as much as possible. So far we have seen some good results but she still has some way to go. Unfortunately, these hospital trips cost us quite a bit, by the time we pay for the fuel, overnight stay in hotel and food, etc. If any can spare any amount of cash to help us through this incredibly tough period, I would be so grateful.
Thanks for taking time to read this post.
regards

22 female single w rare tumor

Posted by isitoveryet on 2012-01-20 06:58:09

I am 22 years old I have a rare recurring tumor, Desmoid Tumor or a aggressive fibromatosis. I so far have had two removed. They are very aggressive and not many people, if any, know how to truly treat them. My last surgery my left chest wall was removed and replaced with metal gortex, two upper ribs and my left collar bone removed and a muscle rotated up to my breast area for cushioning. I am, or was, a cosmetologist but I just cannot do it anymore due to surgeries. I have been denied disability twice. My boyfriend of two years left me. I am struggling and feel hopeless. I have enrolled at community college but I do not receive financial aid. I feel like the more good I try doing the more I get burned or don't succeed. On top of everything my medical bills are sky high, credit is terrible, my teeth need so much work I am in consistent pain. I have an absess right now and to get just me out of pain and what needs to be done on my lower left teeth is 6500 all my teeths damaged getting fixed is estimated 27,659. It is one thing after another. I just spent the whole day in ER last friday because I had a miscarraige. Im emotionally ruined. I still am trying to keep trucking along but I don't know how strong I can stay. I fear I will lose my home and it is my ONLY sense of security. I don't even have my own car. hardly any clothes, I don't do anything activity wise becuase I save what I can. I really need help and guidance. I just don't know anymore :(

Save a Home for Christmas

Posted by Mimzy on 2011-12-14 15:58:14

I'm trying to get up donations, any amount to help out a friend that is losing her home after Christmas. I've contacted a few places to help, I've put up a webpage on my site and I've hit the social network sites as well as online friends to help.

She needs $5k to stop the bank from foreclosing. She's a good person & I don't want her family to be homeless after the Holidays. I have to do all I can to help her, I just can't give up and do nothing.
The page I made is at www.viviti.me/starrweaver/donation.html - if you want to know more go there. She doesn't have a Paypal account, so I'm collecting all the money for her. Also try not to use donation buttons, Paypal charges a fee for donations. Use send money and gift instead, then it won't take out the fees.

Also if you have a business, you can give gifts up to $20 for the Holidays and write it off on your taxes. Also for those trying to find work, if you can't get a job, create a business. Employ yourself, it isn't difficult & making an online business is less costly. Think about it and take a good look at what hobbies, skills & talents you have. Invest in yourself, check out some sites for freelance work or even fiverr.com to see what others are doing for $5.

Think of metal scrapping, recycle & get paid at scrap yards. Dead batteries can be taken in for money too. Think out of the box - brainstorm and come up with something you can do. It's better than nothing...right?

If you go to my aidpage.com site I've listed a bunch of resources. There are others that can help give more resources too. It's a supportive and helpful site to find information.

Please help if you can, She doesn't have much time left. Any amount would be a big help.

Need a loan

Posted by CountryGirl460 on 2011-08-15 22:58:13

Hi everyone,

I need to come up with $4k so I can get a different 4x4 truck so I can move for school.

Where I'm moving has terrible winters and 4x4 is necessary.


I have an absolute POS truck now.... Everything is broken!
*4x4 doesn't work
*tranny is going out
*brakes are basically gone, it's just metal on metal
*has a bad hub
*has a bad wheel bearing

At this point, it's going to cost more to fix it then it will be to get something else.

I finally got myself jnto college and it would be amazing if I could have a nicer truck that would get me through the winter safely.

I'm hoping that some wonderfully nice, good samaratian can help me out with this.

I'd even be willing to sign some sort of contract for repayment. I just need to get back on my feet and this is a big component of it.


Anything at all will help!


Thanks so much for your time,


Madison

Help save my mother's house! Any help appreciated

Posted by BladeOfdirt on 2011-08-14 16:58:25

Hello,
My name is Richard. Recently my step-father passed away, leaving my mother alone. My step-father was disabled with scoliosis, so he received a disability check once a month which came to around $700. My mother is also disabled with some sort of bad arthritis disease. I'm sorry I cannot remember the exact name, but years ago they had to place metal plates in her knees and was wheelchair bound for a few years, but can now get around with only a cane. So she also recieved a disability check, but hers was only around $400 a month.

Well, after my step-father passed away back on July 2nd, 2011. She no longer received his disability checks, and where as her own disability check can cover almost 90% of the house payment, that leaves her with no spending money at all. No money for all of her medications and food.

Since she is disabled, she receives very few food stamps. Since she can never work, the government feels it appropriate that she only receives $45 a month in food stamps. That's not enough for an entire month, and also considering the only stores around here are the big name ones, like wal-mart and kroger.

After my step-father passed away, I was laid off from work, again, from a company called Unifacs. Now the first time I was laid off, I received unemployment. This year, they came back and hired me back in, but this time it only lasted for 2 month before they laid everyone off again, so because of the short period, I do not quality for unemployment this time. I have searched for over a month for work, anywhere. I have over 45 applications floating around my area, and about that amount in online applications as well.

I never really had a problem finding work before, until now. Times have for sure changed. They hire these 16 year olds before hiring me for some reason. Only thing I can guess is they know a 16 year old could turn that job into his career, whereas someone like me who is qualified in many fields, will only work there until better work comes along.

So basically, this is what I am needing help with. This month, August, my mother had to dig into her house payment for cat/dog food, her own food, cigarettes (i know, I've tried to get her to stop), fuel, and many other things. It's only halfway through the month and both of us are completely broke and both fear losing the house.

So any help, whether it be $1 or more, will be much, much appreciated. Even if the donator has some sort of volunteer work that they need some sort of help with, I'd be very glad to help.

Losing our Home !!

Posted by DesperateDad on 2011-05-30 00:58:40

Being a single parent for many years now and no family support, life hasn't been easy. Recently it has taken a turn for the worse. Most of my income was from small carpentry jobs or when that was slow, from hauling junk and scrap metal. Things were not easy but we were surviving. Several months ago my truck broke down and could not be fixed, at least short of what another would cost. Without a vehicle it has been almost impossible to make any money. We are about to lose our home, unless we find some way out of this mess. A vehicle very very quickly would give me a way to earn some money, and might save the house. If I cannot get enough money fast enough to save the house, at least having a truck would allow me to make enough to have someplace to go. Please consider helping. Time is running out for us. Any small amount will help, even $5. In fact just 150 people donating $5 would put me in a vehicle and back to work. God Bless you for your consideration.
I am hoping to find someone with a big enough heart to help us out here. We have two children, 9 and 6, myself and my husband, and my step-mother. My husband hurt his arm in 2007 at work, and we are still in court with his former employer, because he lost use of his right arm. So he is unable to work, and we receive welfare money. I am a really bad type 1 diabetic and have been since I was 5, and am unable to maintain proper employment, so I am on on SSD. We also have my father's (he passed away at Christmas in 2010) fiance, who is may as well be a step-mother to me who lives with us, who has 3 types of cancer, all stage 4, and she is bedridden, and very very sick. (and she is only 57) We lost our baby son to SIDS in 2009, and things have just kept up being really difficult for us, everytime we almost catch up on bills, somebody dies or gets sick, or the car breaks, and then we end up borrowing from Peter to pay Paul. We have a really old house (pre-civil war) which is hard to keep heated in the winter, and hard to keep cool in the summer, and cant afford to fix the furnace, the water tanks, or the windows. Our car is a '99 van thats falling apart worse every day, and alls we do is drive to doctors and the grocery store. I am at the end of the rope here with being able to sell off any collectibles or music, or electronics that we have, I've been recycling bottles from family members, and saving up all the change we find, but it just isn't enough. My kids, I can't even afford them new summer clothes, and they're both growing like weeds. I have been lucky that I always prepare for the worst, and so I have a bunch of canned food, and we have a few chickens that give us eggs, but we are on our way to sinking beyond the point of saving. Please, we are good God-fearing people, we aren't out to buy ourselves some tv or motorcycle, we have no credit card debt, cuz we think its bad to do that, we just have nothing left to give. I would like to be able to fix our furnace, and insulate our hotwater tank, and maybe be able to fix our car better than we've been doing with metal tape and putty. I would like to be able to get a bag of fresh vegetables and fruit for the kids to stay healthy, and I would like to be able to pay our bills this month.

I dont know what to do

Posted by AGfrog on 2011-05-23 13:58:15

We were one of the ones who lost there house in this mess,the job i was working was gone.I started working for myself doing home repairs, digging in the trash to find junk metal to cash in.Then we lost everything in a fire. Got back out there and kept on trying. since then i have become disabled and am wait to hear from ssdi. The lawyers say it could be 2012 before i know if i will get money. I dont care, I would rather work.
Saved our tax return to pay bills but that just ran out. I sell my plasma sometimes but that is not something you can do all the time. We have 3 girls that are growing out of their clothes,Electric is due,house payment,etc. I have nothing left to sell and not sure what to do. I found this on a google search for help. I have a vast knowledge of home and auto repair. At the very least if you are reading this and I can help you with some advice on repairs give me a shout and I will help you save money.
Thanks for reading this and to all those that help other people.

Going to be Homeless unless I find someone who will help !!!!

Posted by Desperate-Dad on 2011-04-13 14:58:16

I have been out of regular work for a very long time now, which until recently wasn't that hard to overcome. I just put a few tools in the back of the truck and found things to do. A very large part of my miniscule income came from hauling off scrap metal. It wasn't much but We were making it. After experiencing problems with my vehicle in Nov. and Dec. We slipped behind on our rent. The old apartment was in terrible shape and even had spots of black mold. Instead of trying to work things out to stay there I found an old house I could buy on land contract. It needs a huge amount of work but i know how to do all the labor myself. At the time I took it I thought I had the downpayment coming-It had been promised. After I got in, the financing I thought I had, fell through. Ok this would have been seriously difficult but doable, until my truck broke down and was so severe I could not have it fixed. Without a vehicle I haven't been able to make the money I need and now are in danger of losing the house. I desperately need money for a vehicle of some type to work out of. Even if that's all I can get. If we lose the house I certainly need a way to get my stuff out of it, and if I had it quickly enough i might be able to get enough money fast enough to keep away from eviction. I would let a person have a lein on any vehicle you help me purchase, or the house if i could get enough to pay the entire land contract and get a deed. Someone out there could do all of this but if many do just a small amount then it would build up to enough. I will make my pledge to you that if money comes in by small donation that after the the house is taken care of and a modest vehicle paid for ALL the rest will be donated back to Begslist to continue this work. I'd suck it up and stay in a shelter for a while but I have a son that I'd lose to the state if i cannot give him a home. PLEASE HELP

Needing help

Posted by Susan1963 on 2011-04-11 13:58:35

Me and my fiance are at wits end on how we are going to make it. We want so desperately to get back to where he was born and raised in Ellenville N.Y. and we are stuck here in Kentucky. We moved from about 100 miles away so I could care for my father and he passed away be 2 years in Sept. We have lost our water AGAIN they cut it off last week and my fiance can't find any work here ,, he does construction and its not happening here. We have no car and he walks everywhere to look for any type of work just to get by and he has been ripped off by this whole town as he never charges what the big wigs do to fix a home.. We go out of our way to help others even when we have nothing and Im so scared we are going to loose our apartment(which is an old funeral home and we are the only ones here)We have been scrapping metal and junk the last week just to feed ourselves and get by. I just want to get to where he use to live so we can get back on our feet and make it on our own. I hate asking anyone for help but I am at the point of giving up on everything as its just not working out. We try so hard to get ahead and we get slapped back 20 feet and cant get back up. right now we are going to loose our Electric come Monday morning if we cant come up with the other 147.67.. I worked with a neighbor other day helping her plant her flower beds and cleaned her home and my fiance went and done an odd job plus walked gathering aluminum cans to turn in and we was able to give them 120.00 of it but they only gave us till Monday for the rest of it. Not to mention not having food but got up this morning and someone left a box of food on our step that will get us by for a few days and am so greatful ..I have been to every place in this town to get help and no one is willing to do anything. I do not know what this world is coming to when no one will extend a hand . and right now if someone came to me and needed something I did have I would give it up as I feel there are others who need it more then I do.. I just keep praying for a Miracle and It never happens no matter how hard we try.I do not understand why there are people in this town that goes out and cons people and charges an outrageous price to do things and they are running around with their heads in a cloud and having everything when we try and try and we just get farther behind. I know It sounds like I'm complaining but I just want to live normal without so may worries and to get out of this town that keeps dragging us farther down in the homeless pit..is there any help to be found.We want to save enough to make the move as he has work waiting for him there and its over a 1000 miles away to get there plus have to have enough to at least get us a cheap effenciency for a week or so till the money starts to happen as I do not care if I have to live in a homeless shelter to get on our feet when we get there.. It's just managing the money to make it there..I will not give up hope and faith as I pray to God everyday to at least bless us to be able to make it through 1 more day. I have family here but well like alot of families they have just turned their backs and won't do anything to help but I was there to help them when they needed a sitter or someone to do things they couldnt or my fiance redone their places for basically nothing in return as that is how we are.. to make a long story short almost 4 yrs ago me and my fiance built a deck on the front of my parents home and it was for my dad to be able to sit outside in his wheel chair to enjoy the weather instead of sitting inside and wasting away and it was a 20 ft by 28 foot under roof with rails and steps and an extra pole rail for my dad to hold onto to walk the deck for exercise and done with all deck wood and its really nice and we got a total of 330 bucks for all that but we didnt complain as it was from our hearts to my dad as I am a daddy's girl and even though he is now a beautiful Angel I am still a daddys girl..we also put siding on their house which was stucco house so it all had to be drilled in with plastic inserts and we done it the way my dad always wanted it to look and I would have done anything for my daddy as he would do anything for me I was his baby girl but again we done it out of the kidness of our hearts and love for hi, .. there is alot more to add from and about other family members that saved them BUNDLES but can't even help with a meal now.. but I will not hold a grudge or judge them as its not my place to and they will be judged in the end and that is when it counts the most..but I keep praying to the Good Lord that one day there will be a way for all we need to happen! Hope is running thin though and to the point of just tossing life in and ending it all..and I know that is the wrong way to think but sometimes your mind and heart gets tired and weary and just wants to give up but I will fight till the end to reach our goals of making it to NY.. I really hate to ask and beg but I do not know anything else I can do except keep doing what I am doing and also ask for some help.. I hope all who is needing help will recieve the help they need and I pray for many many Blessings to come your way.. God Bless...

Health Crisis

Posted by deepblue2012 on 2011-03-27 14:58:37

I have a fiancee who lives in the Philippines. I have known her for the list three years.
About two years ago she hurt her eye when she ran into a metal object. There was bleeding inside her eye and they had to operate to get the blood out. And after that she had medicine to take to keep from to getting infected. And she took it for one month and then she stoped taking to for the next month and got an infection in it and I had to buy medicine again for her to stop the infection or she would go blind.
She has had trouble with that eye on and off ever sence she hurt her eye. I payed for all her medical expences,the operation,medicine everything with what was left over form my college loans and credit cards and other loans.Now I have no more money to help her and my credit score is so low that I can get no more loans.And the Philippine government is such a poor country that you can only get help if you are almost dead and by the time it goes through it would be to late any way.And I can ask the U.S. government for help because she doesn't live in the US and is not a citizen.
She is in pain from her eyes again and I she can't get medicine in time she will lose her eye sight.
This has all been very hard on me because I have no way to help her any more and I will have to be the one that will have to set over here and watch her go blind and there would be nothing I can do about. And adding to my stress is the fact that most of the people I talk to about it don't seen to care.
My mailing address is 225 N. Madison Ave.,Apt. 502
Richmond KY 40475.
Or you could send any donation by paypal. I got signed on to paypal when I was trying to find something on the net that I could help her with.

Disabled and out of work

Posted by MiniMoo on 2011-02-27 23:58:08

I've been unemployed for more than a year now. I'm applying for jobs even though all of my mental and 2 physical disabilities make it hard to get one and impossible to keep one. I have COPD and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome that make it hard to work, but the mental illnesses make it even harder to get or keep a job. Most days, I can't shaking at all and I can usually only last 2 or 3 hours without crying. I have Major Depression and almost every kind of anxiety disorder that exists. The social phobias make it almost impossible to get a job because I can't make eye contact with anyone except friends and family and I'm so nervous around people that I don't know that I become completely mute sometimes. Sometimes I can talk if someone talks to me first, but sometimes I can't talk until I've communicated enough through text and email that I get to know them a little bit. Eye contact doesn't happen until I've known someone for a few years. I've applied for disability but that takes a long time to get approved and a lot of court hearings that will probably kill me from the stress of talking, and hoping and praying that they will let me write or text everything because I can't talk in front of people I don't know. I'm getting a little bit of unemployment and collecting scrap metal and copper (without stealing it) for some money. I don't have a car, so I have to depend on friends and family to help me get the metal and take it to sell. I need help with my bills. All of them, especially my rent and internet. I need the internet to apply for jobs, do follow ups on jobs, and keep up with my disability application. My cell phone is also important for texting about jobs and disability. I'm trying to survive on my own, but without being able to communicate in person, it's really hard. Most jobs here are customer service, which is impossible for me. When I hear of one that is only physical labor and no talking or interacting with customers, I try for it, but with all the competition for the jobs here, and my inability to talk to an interviewer, I usually don't get it. Please help. Any amount is good.

would you help

I was in a bad accident and ended up in the hospital for 2 months. I broke my back, 5 ribs, my pelvis, punctured and collapsed a lung, ruptured my spleen, damaged my spinal cord. First I was not supposed to live, then I was supposed to come home a paraplegic, but my spinal cord healed up close to normal and with determination and a baby at home I fought back. I came home with a walker, in a body cast with a fused spine and metal rods in my back. I was that way for a year, then the day I went back into the hospital to get my rods out my 10 year old broke his arm in two places. He was traumatized when I went away the first time then again with him being in so much pain I had to leave him again. Finally got the rods removed with another week in the hospital, and came home again in a body cast for another year.
At the time I had a 9 month old baby to take care of and my 10 year old son. My husband stayed a year after it happened and finally left because he couldn't deal with it, I haven't seen him since. We had a rocky 14 year marriage anyway, but the accident was the breaking point. My 10 year old son took on so much responsibility after the accident and my baby barely had a mommy.
I have been trying to recover financially since this all happened. I have always held on to two jobs. I was delivering newspapers at night and restocking magazines in the grocery store during the day and delivering flowers part time. I was just starting to get my life back together. I got a credit card and financed a used car. I had lost most of my teeth due to being sick a lot from the migraines I have, so I had the rest of my teeth removed because of the pain. I was starting the process of getting a new set of teeth with implants to hold them in place.
Then last year I lost two jobs within a month of each other. It's hard to find jobs with the physical restrictions I have and now, it's hard to get a prospective employer to hire me. With the way I look with no teeth, just makes it harder. As if things can't get worse my doctor told me I have liver disease from the transfusions I received in my operations on my back.
My boys are so great. The oldest went from high school right to massage therapy school so he could make a living while going to the university. He graduated from the university and now is applying to medical school. It costs so much money just trying to get in. The application fees, the airfare to the interviews. I wish I could help him. My youngest is going to a culinary high school and wants to be a musician. If there is anything positive in my life it's them and the hope that they won't be like me and they will have a better life.
I filed for disability 5 times since the accident and finally last year I qualified to receive $795 a month and food stamps. I am looking for a legitimate on line income but it's hard to distinguish the scams.
I am trying to get a concession trailer so I can have a job again and get back on my feet. I ran an ice cream truck for 11 years so I have experience in running a concession business. I figured if I can't find a job, I'll make a job. I bought an old trailer for $600 and I am slowly re-building it. I just don't have enough money to get the rest of the equipment to finish it.
I need money for getting teeth so I can eat right to keep my health, and look better to find a job. I need money to finish the trailer so I can support my family again.
Please, if you can help with anything at all, it would help so much.
Thank You
Hello I am a 26 year old mom of a 1 year old boy. For the last 3 years I have been unemployed and as of recently my boyfriend who is 24 lost his very first job. We have been trying to look for work and we can not even find work through temp agencies.

Me, my boyfriend, and son are living with my boyfriends grandparents who only draw Social Security Disability, and his 20 year old sister(who does not want to get a job).

I am worried about keeping our bills paid, buying presents for our son at Christmas, buying our son clothes, and keeping food on the table as the few food stamps we get for the whole household of 6 are not enough.

I would like to be able to pay off my mothers ashes from when she died back in March 2008.

I would like to be able to get my boyfriend new glasses, the rubber pieces have fallen off and the metal pieces are cutting into his nose, as well as the sides of his glasses are turning the sides of his head and face green. He can not stop wearing them because he would not be able to see, and the are a special prescription.

We have also started to notice a growing roach problem and would like to be able to get the little nasties eliminated.

Any help with any of this would be very much appreciated.

♥THANK YOU!!!♥
♥Diana, Michael, and Sean♥

Maybe someone could help!
