Help Bring Dog Scouts to the UK!

Posted by shootingstardsa on 2012-05-07 21:58:25

Positive "Pet Parenting" is the main goal of the Dog Scouts of America. Troops have and are still forming all across the US and there has been a significant decrease in the amount of dogs being given up to the pound as unwanted or untrainable. With the success of DSA Troops in the US, DSA Troop 188 has selected a pet parent/Dog Scout team to go to the UK. An AP article published in The Day Newspaper of New London, CT and Norwich Bulletin, Norwich, CT has received many many viewings in the UK. The article can be found at: http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/dog-scouts-america-troops-22-states-16064429
.

DSA Troop 188 wants to act now to capture the attention and passion of the UK dog owners and dog lovers. DSA Troop 188 has already been in touch with dog clubs in the UK that wish to partner with the team when they arrive to facilitate the DSA Troops formations.

DSA Troop 188 needs $5,000 USD in order to sent the ambassadorial team over. This covers the settlement costs for both the human and the Dog Scout and transport fees.

Won't you please help fellow dog lovers, dog owners and the dogs and help reduce the amount of dogs in pounds? Any little bit you can give will help tremendously. Thank you in advance for your support, you/your company will be mentioned in the Troop newsletter and on here.

Dog's lives are short enough, let's do all we can to help them enjoy their time with us.
I'm a single mother aged 35. I've lived in California for almost 14 years ( it will be 15 this year on memorial day weekend.)
I’m going to be a little blunt, because I'm tired and I want to give up so bad, but I can't. I'm better than that and my kids are my motivator. I wake up everyday and remind myself of 2 things :1) Faith is what you have when you all your beliefs are blown to hell. 2) What doesn't kill you makes you stronger -Nietzsche

I am a 35 year old educated, ambitious, head strong woman. I have owned my own business with my soon to be ex. I know what hard work and determination are. I went to private school and I am educated. I value my community and have always given back and will continue to do so. I also know that I have the drive and determination to get myself back on track. I'm not ASKING for a handout, I'm asking for help up! I also know what loss is. I don't have the business, a house or EVEN the car anymore. We lost everything. He bounced back , I didn’t. All I have is HOPE, that someone or some program can help me carve a path back to self sufficiency.
It's gone continually downhill.I am amazed at the allotment of programs for both housing and employment for all different walks of life. However, what about those that are just struggling. No hang ups, no record, just struggling and are LOW INCOME. I'm not writing this to make you feel sorry, I'm writing this because I have exhausted possibilities that I have researched both on my own or been given the information to do the work with.
There are people who struggle everyday through no fault of their own. They don't want a hand out, but help up would be a relief. Society doesn't need band-aids they need solutions.
Not every county, city or state program fits everyone's needs.
First of all Section 8 has been closed since BEFORE I left my marriage so that idea could never work. The list has been closed for years. Because I have limited time with my children, I do not qualify for CALWORKS. I have tried getting assistance in every way possible. I had very little unemployment left since I have been struggling to find work. I was delayed for about 3 months because they needed verification and I had to appeal and request a hearing. I have won my appeal but will only receive $91/week and for a short period of time.
I took a project management class through WIA in 2011, and I was able to get CTB benefits. I NEED HELP. I have hit the absolute worst point in my life and still refuse to give up. I have been looking for work and am now HOMELESS.I am in week 3 of staying in an extended stay hotel (paid for by my mother back east, who makes maybe $26,000/yr in PA) I recently sold my car because I needed to pay bills and rent. I have maybe $75 to my name.
The fact that they say there are services for low income/ homeless is frustrating. I say this because there is no category for me. I'm not a drug addict or in recovery. I don't have a mental illness. I wasn't in prison, I don’t' even have a RECORD. I can proudly say I've never been arrested or even in the back of a cop car. I'm not a victim of domestic violence and I do not beat my kids. Why aren't there programs in place for single parents struggling to make it? Everyday people that are responsible and respectable. I understand the need to assist those that may not have the capacity to take care of themselves. However, I have a huge problem with the fact that Santa Clara County & all programs (private, govt or state funded) will rehabilitate and reintroduced felons into the community, but if you're poor, homeless, no record, are looking for work, have high intelligence; sorry, you can't get help. This sounds extremely cynical and jaded, but I am a little after going through all I have.
I have been told constantly “I wish I could do something but we don't have any programs to help you.” My favorite reply is: "Yeah and you have done everything. I'm surprised you even knew about all the programs you did"
I have talked to employment counselors, program coordinators, program advocates and case managers, volunteers, just about anyone. The bankruptcy is hindering my chances of securing housing, even if I had employment.

The icing on the cake has to be with food stamps and General Assistance. I qualified for Cal-Fresh. However, at the time I had a car worth $2200. So I wasn't able to get General Assistance. Fast Forward a year later, I HAD to sell my car to pay bills. Now this month when I went for General Assistance, I qualify.

It's a never ending cycle, a constant push down. I can take public transportation to work, but to get around and see my boys and being able to transport them would be extremely difficult, not to mention financially stressing. I have scoured employment books, read articles, searched the library, spent hours online trying to find a job, program, a company, anybody who could be a resource whether for low income assistance or employment.
I can probably tell you about a plethora of services this county (Santa Clara) offers for both income assistance and job services.I am registered with CALJOBS; I know all the career sites and have my resume there. I get interviews, however I am starting to think the bankruptcy from loss of business is holding me back when employers do background check.
I also could teach the business writing class or the resume writing classes they offer at Work2Future, I practically did when I took them. I could do the same at Sacred Heart. I've been to InnVision and EHC. I’ve talked to Sunnyvale Community Services. Boy he was a treat he sounded older then my 80 yr old grandma. When I said I need housing and employment help, he gruffly told me to check the newspaper and hung up. I've called St Josephs in Gilroy. I've talked to a program coordinator at West Valley Community Services. I called the Sobrato Organization hoping they had ties to something and one the employees just by grace of god happened to pick up and take my call. I was able to talk to someone at HIF (they couldn't help)
.
I am responsible, respectable and just want to work, have a place to live, and be able to have my children 50/50. I have no police record. I am not in recovery, nor have I ever had to be in a program
I want to work and am attaching a compilation of ALL my work skills. I would not send this out otherwise, I would tailor it specifically to the job I am applying for.

I used to volunteer as much as I could I like being active in my community and helping others. I'm still about that I believe in PAY IT FORWARD. I believe the good you do comes back to you tenfold and that no matter what is going wrong in your life, someone else is struggling just as much if not more; so be thankful for what you have.
I attend church and was a hospitality volunteer for that as well.
I just need help getting on my feet. I have no family, other than my children here in CA.
I do not want to move back east and be far away from them. I want to work, I want to live again. I want to smile and mean it.

I hate what my life has become and know that I am SO MUCH BETTER THEN THIS.
Please help me : money is fine, but it's only a temporary fix, please help me find a program that can assist me in getting on my feet, direct me to employment, and most of all afford me the opportunity to have my children much more consistently so I can be a mom again.
Thank you
Courtney DiMiceli

Getting back into work after serious illness

Posted by CarySerendipity on 2012-01-24 07:58:27

My name is Kacey and 2011 proved to be a bad year for me. I am a Freelance Media Consultant and was quite happy with what I was doing and achieved. Unfortunately due to severe stress (brought on by serious family situations and illness) I suffered a stroke the beginning of that year. I consider myself lucky because paralysis was only temporary and I'm back up and about walking around. I was only 44 years old when this happened and now registered with the hospital for the rest of my life. They even carried out a brain scan to make sure I didn't have a brain tumour. I was given the all clear with that. On top of that I also suffered a bout of colitis soon after. I've lived with the disease for ten years and manage it extremely well, I live with it and lead as happy and healthy life as I can. BUT it was the stroke that turned my life upside down and it has taken a while to get my head around it. I had no support from family but I thank goodness for close friends who have helped me through this health issue.

I now want to get back to my freelance work and during 2011 I continued helping out with a local community newspaper writing articles and taking photographs when I could. It was then I discovered that my hand writing had been affected by the stroke, but I'm getting there and my hand writing is getting better! I also found the quality of my photographs were also affected and not as good as before I had the stroke, they are not as clear and concise as they could be with a little digital camera I have. It has no anti shake. And yet my earlier photos are now attracting interest and people are now asking if I can be booked for taking photos for them. I'd love to do it and I'm just pleased that the community newspaper that I volunteer for have been supportive throughout. HOWEVER if I am going to add to my work experience and concentrate on my photography and writing I need to invest in some new photography equipment and a laptop to move onto new career challenges.

Effectively, after a year out I am starting out from the beginning again with being a Media Consultant and asking for help to achieve this. I have never asked for help before with my work, so hope that whoever is out there reading this can help towards achieving the camera equipment and laptop I need to progress into my photography sphere. I also plan to study at college a part-time photography course from September 2012. It'll last 3 years but it will be worth it and a qualification at the end of it. Just because I had a stroke does not mean the end. It just means adapting and getting the best out of life that I can. Anything is possible so don't write me off just yet!

Thank you for reading this true life whoever you may be.

Desperate can't describe how badly I need just a small helping hand! I have nowhere else to turn to. Life has really taken a toll on me and I am slowly sinking deeper into depression that I just can't shake.

I'M 57 years of age a wartime veteran who served the 6 year commitment honorable 1972-1976 plus w/2yrs reserve. Started work on a farm as boy in the late 50's. My parents like most Americans were rural working class poor. At 8 years of age I got a T.V. Guide route, then later a newspaper route. Worked while going through High School and have the Social security report to prove it.

Out of the past over 15 years in Florida more that 10 of those years have been incomeless unemployed! In my working career I have also started two small businesses plus have looked during this long period of no income to take a risk doing something. It has not happened and now I am broke. Also finding out that the number people needing jobs or income verses the opportunities needed have a huge gap of dispairity.

I live in Palm Bay/Melbourne Florida area if anyone can help in any way please contact me at mulabate@yahoo.com Thank you, Vietnam Vet

I have nothing.. no hope.. this is my only option

Posted by downandout2011 on 2011-11-14 19:58:23

Well, first let me thank everybody who donates. Here is my story. I'm a 38 year old man with a 9 year old son. I live in a very small town with no jobs. Seems God has forgotten me, and life is beyond unfair. My turn for the worse came 10 years ago, when I lost my firstborn son in the delivery room. He lived 5 minutes, and was buried the next day. I called into work, for a few days to grieve, and they told me to take as much time as I need. Within 3 days, the boss calls and tells me I'm fired for missing 3 days of work. I thought life couldn't get any worse than that. I was wrong.

Right about 3 years ago, I had just got out of college and found a job. My life was good, and I had a nice vehicle. I was driving home about 1 a.m. on a 70 mile per hour interstate. I saw no lights, I saw nothing but open road. Then instantly, I hit something hard and had a airbag in my face. Long story short, a couple was arguing on the side of the road. They had no hazard lights on their car, and the car was dark maroon, very hard to see. The male was holding a gun to the female, and when he saw my vehicle coming, he pushed her into the interstate. I hit her, and she died instantly. He is charged with murder, but he took two lives that night.

My vehicle was totaled, because her body damaged my V6 engine beyond repair, and the value compared to the cost equaled out even with insurance. So I didn't get a new vehicle, the insurance company simply paid off my truck. The police held me while investigating for 2 days. So the local newspaper wrote up the article as if I was a 'killer who runs people over'. The investigation showed I did nothing wrong, and witnesses on the scene with the couple admitted that the girls boyfriend pushed her.

I went into work that Monday morning, and my boss tells me that they have to fire me because my accident gave the company a 'bad name'. It's been 3 years, and the economy and job market is worse than ever. I can't find a job, and don't have a vehicle to drive to look for a job.

I need any help with donations, so I can move to a bigger city, one with a transit/ bus/ train system that I can get my own self around the city and look for work. Needless to say Christmas is coming soon and I have no money to buy my son anything. I have nothing. I hardly have any hope left. It's probably needless to say, that I also have gum disease and need oral surgery. I have nothing, I live with family, and getting more depressed by the day. I hear people complaining about paying bills, well, I wish I had a job and bills to pay. Anyway, that's my story. Thanks in advance to anyone who donates anything. Any amount 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.

My son needs a DSLR Camera

Posted by eariasg on 2011-09-04 02:58:21

Hi,

Please help me to buy my son JP a DSLR Camera, he wants to be a Pro and needs to shoot basketball and soccer games for his High School newspaper.

I promised to buy him the camera but I am really broke and I do not have a penny. I can't tell him, I don't know what to do. I really don't want to dissapoint him. :(

A friend gave me a Nikon basic kit lens, so I plan to buy my son a Nikon camera.

Please help me, JP will be very happy with a good camera, perhaps someday he will be a famous photographer.

Thanks!!

In desperate need of help

Posted by gman23 on 2011-09-01 22:58:27

I hate having to do this but i see no other way than having to ask for some help. My sister and I are trying to make it on our own but she is a college student (about to get kicked because we cant pay her tuition) working two jobs that pay very little and I am having a hard time finding a job. What little money we make goes to gas and food and thats not even enough. I finally have a job lined up but i don't start working for a few weeks yet. We just got hit with the news that our parents got kicked out of their home, along with our two younger brothers, because a meter reader came bye and refused to turn on the electricity because the wiring in the house is "unsafe" according to him and they are now living in a hotel on a teachers salary, that was just cut down to part time due to budget cuts, and my dad is unable to work due to the fact that his cancer (leukemia) just came out of remission and progressed to lymphoma. On top of all that, our rent was due today and I have to make a car payment soon or they're gonna put a hook on it and pull it away. I'm a shame of my self that I've let it come to this point when I need to beg for help. I was do pretty good on my own working full-time at a fast food restaurant and then getting deployed to Afghanistan with my reserve unit. After a year long tour, I came back and quite my job to go to school full time, but then my dad started to get sick and when i tried to find a job the recession really took its toll and every one, I mean every one was on a hiring freeze and the only job i could find was delivering newspaper in the early morning for $125.00 a week but that wasn't enough to pay my bills so thats when i started to fall behind. That was 1 year ago and i finally found a better job as an overnight stocker because i moved 1000 miles away to live with my sister in her one bedroom apartment that we cant even afford. I don't know how we are going to keep our bills payed and keep from getting evicted until i get my first check from work in about a month because i don't even start working until three weeks from now. Please Help US. GOD BLESS

Family With Disabled & Elderly In Dire Need

Posted by long2bfree on 2011-07-08 14:58:17

Trying to keep a long story short, we live in a rural area where a car is needed. We can not afford to eat and now have no car to go to food banks or take senior citizens to the doctors. We had a perfectly good car we were forced to get rid of because they do not want people to have 15+ year old cars anymore in this area. So the senior citizen of the family takes out a loan to get a used car. Rock bottom price in this area is $5000. Car dies one week later. It is at a garage right now but we have no way of getting around $500 for the repairs. Disabled member of the family is willing to sell their Playstation 3 all games and accessories but we can not fork out the ridiculous price to place an ad in the newspaper, so who will know I am trying to sell what little I have? Neither of us can walk to a store. We are house bound without a vehicle.

Educated Single-Mother Who Can Hardly Afford to Work

Posted by sfgymnast76 on 2011-06-12 23:58:24

I am a motivated, single-mother who earned her Bachelor's degree when my son was a toddler, with the hope that I could provide a stable living for my family. Sadly, I have come to the realization that I would probably be better off not working, financially speaking, and relying on governmental assistance.

It's truly disheartening that I cannot survive on a single income alone, working full-time in advertising/marketing for our local newspaper. I thought I was doing everything right. Where did I go wrong? I left my son's father when he was an infant because he was unfaithful to me several times. It was not a conducive or healthy environment for me or my son. Since then, his father has been absent from his life for over 5 years. Not one phone call. Not one visit. No birthday presents. No cards. No money to help with expenses. Nothing. We can handle his absence because I have several positive male role models who have taken my son under their wings. He is a very well-grounded young man and has strong morals, values, and integrity.

With that said, I am the only financial support for him and I and pay all the bills, insurance, etc. and often have my wages garnished because I have had a difficult time paying for a couple ER visits (my son has asthma and was hospitalized with pneumonia) even with my insurance. I feel as if I can't get a break even though I try to do good.

My son is almost 9-yrs old and has been taking Suzuki violin lessons (paid for by a family friend) for the past year and a half. He is also my budding electrician/engineer...and creates incredible inventions with his circuit boards, wires, LEDs & motors that he digs out of old electronics. He attends the Robot Club at the local high school...and the older kids accept him even though he is their youngest member. =) He has an extremely bright future & I am so proud of him. However, it is a constant struggle everyday for me to put on a smile because we are so far in debt. I owe $2500 to the IRS for a supposed error on my 2009 tax return (disagree...but can't afford an attorney to fight it), $800 hospital bills, $3000 from other creditors from credit cards I had when I was 20 (I'm 35 now). I pay $300/month for daycare, household bills, car payment, etc. I am a good person & have a heart of gold. I want to remain a good role-model for my son so he is proud of me. I do not want to have to resort to relying on governmental assistance. I just wish we could survive on my income. It would be feasable if these bills were paid. Please help us. Any size donation would be an absolute blessing!! We need some financial assistance to get us back on our feet again. We're going through an extremely rough time & any gift would help. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this.

Best Regards,

Thank you Arch Angesl

Need money for car, need to get to and from college

Posted by partyboynx2 on 2011-01-17 09:58:58

Basically what happened is I started college recently. I live out of a garage that I am renting from someone I found in a newspaper ad. I have a part time job, and by part time, I mean I get 10, 15 hours a week when I bed for it, and make minimum wage. My car just kicked the bucket. I have no way to get to work, which is 15 miles from me. I have no money to pay for anyone to drive me since I can't get to or from work. I have no way to get to college which is about 25 miles away from me. I'm suffering really badly right now from all this. I don't have much money saved up for rent or food. I'm just coasting by right now, and my garage renter is helping me out by letting me go a month without rent. Books and tuition are running me too much money to survive right now. This is all too much stress to have to deal with right now. I have no clue what to do anymore.

Trying to get my life moving... With a car

Posted by ladyziggy on 2010-09-15 23:58:58

Your donations will go to: A used 2002 Ford Focus and/or maintenance and/or insurance costs

I am a college freshman pursuing a journalism major. I am trying to purchase my first car as a means to increase my availability for story assignments and paper production for the newspaper as well as my availability for my new job in which my hours are extremely limited (less than 7 a week).

I am very restricted in how I can assist on the paper, spend my time at school, and how often I can work seeing as I have to resort to scheduling around whenever I can get a ride to where I need to be. Lately, this has resulted in me having to leave up to an hour and a half early from class to be able to get home (I don't live anywhere near a bus line or mass transit system). If I can't be there to work on the paper I lose my chance at landing an editor's position and therefore any tuition waivers. If I consistently need to leave school early, my education will suffer. If my work hours are restricted due to car sharing/carpool arrangements, I won't have the financial means to make bill payments or save any money.

My parents have refused to assist me in buying a car and since I have gotten hired have severely cut down on how much they are willing to financially assist me despite knowing I have very limited hours at work.

I know I'm not the most needy person asking for donations and I am grateful for having a job but I feel that acquiring a car will greatly increase my educational and work potential which will yield in long-term benefits. Keep in mind what comes around goes around, give to someone and you will get something in return. I greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
I am an unemployed school teacher and single mother. My unemployment is ending and I have no family to financially help us. I have worked my entire life. I cannot find a job. I have applied to literally hundreds of positions,receiving only one interview. I'm terrified for my daughter and myself. All of my bills are over two months past due. I cannot sleep at night as I know I will not be able to pay my rent now that my unemployment is ending. I pray all day long for help and know that God is listening. My current situation has taught me what the most important things in life are: 1)we are healthy 2)currently have a roof over our head 3)all the things I thought I couldn't live without (i.e. cell phone, daily newspaper, etc) are luxuries and not necessary. I need help until I can find a job. For some reason companies don't seem to want to hire unemployed teachers. I am asking for help from good sumaritans until I can find employment and support my family again. Please, help us keep a roof over our heads. I am truly begging and on my knees. I am humbled and repentant. I need a guardian angel...thank you for reading this and God bless.

I am looking for help. My fiance spent his life savings on inventory for a business for his parents. His father had a heart attack and cannot work, and his mother slipped and broke her knee cap. He is paying for storage units and our house is falling apart. The insurance company will not pay. We have cracks in the walls and the doors will not close correctly. I am looking for money to help repair the house and pay bills. I just recently lost my teaching position because of cuts in the budget. We tried selling the inventory on Ebay and we had 2 articles in the local newspaper. I can give you links, pictures, etc. The stress is really getting to him. Thank you for your time.
