Soap Tags

I'm a single mother and a full time college student with a part time job. I make roughly 240 dollars a week. This month I paid a rent bill, electric bill, water bill, car payment, auto insurance bill, Internet bill, and had to buy baby supplies along with the normal household necessities such as dish detergent, clothes detergent, soap, toothpaste, garbage bags, ect. No problem! I usually manage to pay all of my bills by the grace of something bigger than myself. I don't know how I'm doing it. I've been doing it for over a year now by myself. I do without a luxurious cell phone and television. I have to have Internet for school. Thank God for Google and Youtube. A girl deserves more entertainment other than deciphering her 9 month old's poop to determine whether or not its lime-greenish hue comes from the peas she ate 2 days ago, or if a fungus is among us.

The thing is.. I am hungry. I am not Ethiopian starving, but I'm hungry. My last meal consisted of a pack of chicken flavored ramen noodle soup and 3 saltine crackers. The 7 meals before that consisted of the same exact thing, except I was so lucky as to add a few broccoli florets to the soup broth. I have since ran out of broccoli and ramen. All I have left in my food pantry is canned baby food, and oatmeal. I am down to drinking tap water and falling asleep at night to the borborygmus sounds that my intestines sing to me out of pure hunger. I am so very blessed to be able to pay my bills and provide for my daughter while furthering my education so that some fine day we will both be living like Princesses. I have counted each and every one of my blessings. However, food isn't among these blessings of mine. All I'm asking is for someone to treat a girl to a hot nutritious meal.

My name is Kris, and I am a 28 year old mother to 2 boys, aged 9 and 4. I was recently laid off from a decent paying job, and haven't been able to find a new one yet, though I'm trying EVERY day. I have already had my cable/internet shut off. I'm on my phone now. That will be shut off soon, I'm sure. Car insurance has elapsed, rent is passed due. I'm defeated. I would be grateful for help with anything, but mostly, I need household items. Dish soap, laundry soap, toilet paper, toothpaste, etc. This is one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. Thank you for reading.

If I don`t get some help with some money for food , bills and just daily living to help me get back up on my feet I`m so scared for my family and I & everything I fought for for years will be for nothing . I am down to some days choosing breakfast lunch or dinner or a roll of toilet paper or gas in my car to get my children to school and am I going to have enough to get them back home . Things have got that bad . Look , I have tried my very best all I have ever wanted was a home . I and had my first child at 16 . I am still married to the same man today. We went on to have 4 children . My last two are still at home they both were born with disability`s . We always loved them and taken care of them . My husband always worked was a great worker and provider until 12 years ago when he was in a near fatal wreck and ran off a mountain in Georgia . He tried to go back but , couldn`t After years of many , many hospital stays and therapy 7 years ago he was well enough to stay with the 2 children for me to go to work full time only 3 years ago Surprise . I had to have emergency open heart surgery with another surgery 1 month later then a lung collapse soon after that . I did go back to work but , everything went down hill after that . I kept fighting and struggling until I had to give up in Jan 2012 . I `m waiting to see if I can get approved for my long term disability that I have paid in these 7 years but they say it may be July IF they carry me . So right now I`m in dire straights . I have done all this on my own . I DON`T KNOW THAT THINGS CAN GET WORSE . But , I never know anything from day to day . I never in a million years thought I would have to ask anyone for help much less online . I`m a private person and I feel embarrassed to have to do this but , a lot of times in your life you have to humble yourself . I thought about it and I saw and read about George Zimmerman we all know who that is he gets to kill someone a kid shoot them in the back not get arrested then set up a sight and get over 200,000 and when they do arrest him claim he has zero money . You know something is wrong with this picture . The parents of the child should get that but , that's not my call. because I need to understand just like me people did open their hearts and even thought people like him needed help .I`m not the one to judge . I just need to get out of a hole . I just need some compassion . I need to be able to get ahead and really be able to go and buy shampoo , soap , soap powders , food , gas , and pay some bills and get what is necessary to be able to continue to live a regular just a simple life and my children or husband won`t have to suffer or worry until I can get my long term disability started .
Thank you for reading my story and Thank you for any little gift you may be able to give . If you can`t give I understand to I know times are really , really hard . But , would you maybe say a little prayer for us ?
Thanks & Bless you .

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..

All the financial means that would've let my best friend/spirit sister be matron of honor at my wedding have fallen thru, in true Murphy's Law fashion. This is one of MANY snafus all draining joy from my wedding, the worst being my dad passing away. I'd forgo all the gifts on my registry if it meant my best friend could fly here for my wedding! (Please click the headline above for the full story. THANK YOU!)

In November of 2011, I had a pulmonary embolism. After getting off Coumadin in March, I was still extremely sick. Doctors cannot seem to find the issue. Lupus, autoimmune and cancer were what they thought it was but blood tests ruled that out. Now it looks like endometriosis. I am on the verge of losing my job, only working a day a week. I cannot take a leave of absence because I need some sort of income for bills and gas to get me to and from college classes. I have a 6 yr old son that I take to school daily as well. I am NOT asking for cash, and I really do hate to do this, but we are in great need of non-food necessities (toilet paper, laundry detergent, dishwasher soap, shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, etc.) I am trying to sell my possessions on ebay for extra cash but it isn't going so well. Thank you for your interest.

I have a friend with two children. Her and I are both struggling with bills. Her children need food to eat. We need money to buy food. Could anyone help?

Help With Food And Supplies

Snack $1.00 USD Breakfast $2.00 USD Lunch $3.00 USD Dinner $4.00 USD Soap $1.00 USD Toilet Trees $2.00 USD

Hi everyone. If you're reading this, thank you. Let me say upfront, I'm not asking specifically for money. I'm just going to spill my guts about this hand I was dealt.

I've had a hard life. My mother passed away when I was 12, and my father passed away at 20. He left me a lot of debt and a house to maintain.

The stress of all this has given me problems. I started having panic attacks and was hospitalized for a cardiac arrhythmia. Recently, I developed optic neuritis. I'm working on getting Medicaid to cover some of my costs but right now I'm in debt about #1000.

There is one blessing in my life, a relative who pays my internet and utilities. He also helps me with food. But that's all he can do. He goes without to provide me with that. Otherwise I'd be homeless, hungry, and who knows where.

So I'm blessed to have the basics in life. But there's so many things that I need that I have to beg other people for. My family is...not so supportive. All I have left are aunts and uncles, all except one on my mom's side. My mom's side of the family pretty much abandoned me when she died. They put me though shame and humiliation when I ask for help.

I want a job, but I live in a very rural area. I've applied s o many places up to an hour away but I don't hear anything back. Recently I applied for some state jobs which I'm hoping might come through.

These are the things I need and things I want, so you know what my intentions are.

Need:
Toilet paper.... :( The way I've been getting it now is to go into public restrooms and putting some in my purse. I feel wrong about this. But what can I say, it's a necessity?

Personal items...I won't go into detail but I'm talking about um, feminine ones. I get the Dollar Store brand kind, but even then it's too much. I've had to go without it which is very hard.

Hygiene items...I stopped using soap and shampoo conditioner. I would love to...I feel dirty honestly. But I can't afford anything. I only use deodorant every few days because the bottle is running low and I'm trying to make it last.

House items...I need dish washing soap. I can't afford paper plates and am just washing dishes with hot water now. Sometimes I cant' clean it all the way through that way, but I just have to forget it. I also need laundry detergent. I'm almost out of a huge bottle that I have made last over a year. It was Sun brand from the dollar store, and I loved it. I'm all about generic.

Gas money...My car is an old SUV, and it takes a fair amount of gas. I try to limit when I drive. But it's a necessity since I live alone and in a rural area. I have to drive to run errands, go see the doctor, go to job interviews. I usually beg for this the most cause this is one of the things I can't do without.

Medication...I'm on two heart medications because of my arrhythmia. It's important I take them. I tried taking them twice per day instead of three, and I had horrible palpitations. So this is kind of my priority. As I'm still uninsured, both medications cost about 12 dollars a month.

Okay those are all things that I feel I need. Now, what I "want".

Clothes...I haven't bought new clothes since 2007. That's when my dad got diagnosed with cancer. My shirts have holes in them, so do my jeans. I got them from Goodwill originally most likely, I like to be frugal. The only person I have is made of linen and has a hole so things fall out of it! I've lost weight and I have had my jeans fall down in public. It's bad. I only have one bra and it's way past it's prime. I would love a little money to buy some basic things. Jeans that fit, some cotton T-shirts, a purse. Maybe even something for job interviews? I think part of the reason I get denied is because I show up in jeans and a T and flip flips. But that's all I have.

Beauty stuff...Okay, this stuff is totally not worth your money, I get it. But I just thought I'd list everything. It sucks being a young woman who can't feel pretty. I'm unwashed, my clothes make me feel like a hobo. I see other girls my age in class (I attend college part time thanks to financial aid) looking and smelling beautiful. I mean...

I just want a hair cut. Recently, I hacked about 6 inches off myself with scissors. It's not pretty. I just want a little powder and some lip gloss to not feel so plain. I just want a spritz of perfume so that there's something beautiful in my senses. I daydream about when I used to wear cute clothes, go to a salon. Wear mascara and paint my names. Ahh...But this is just a dream. I don't expect anyone to help me with things like that.

A new laptop/tablet...The one I have now is really old and really slow. Don't expect anyone to get me one. If it happened, I would probably assume I'm dead and in some sort of heavenly afterlife. Then I might pass out from shock.

So this my friends, is my general beg for help. I'm a 23 year old girl without much family. My basics are covered, but that leaves a lot for someone who is broke. I'm actively searching for employment. I've applied from Dr.'s offices to bars. I'm part time in college, and I'm not sure what I want to study yet.

I don't drink, if I had the money for beer I'd buy TP instead. I don't smoke or do any illegal drugs. I'm not a criminal.

I am not someone who wants to just take money. If you are down on your luck too, please don't send me anything. Put it in savings. Give it to some of these people who are about to lose their homes if you must. They're deserving.

If you're apprehensive about giving money but still want to help, you totally can. A package filled with toilet paper, tampons, shampoo...that would be like Christmas morning to me, I swear.

I'm not sure what I'm going to get out of this. Writing this was therapeutic though. If you're on this site, you're already a nice person. I bet 90 percent of the traffic is people who want something, like me. People who go on here to help someone is probably such a rare thing.

Thanks for reading.

Hi, i have never really done anything like this before so here goes. I am 29 years old and have worked in the service industry most of my life as a cook. I have always said i was going to go back to school but i never really found the time since i have always worked 50+ hour weeks. For the last year work prospects have been dismal. You would think that service industry work is plentiful but i have been proven otherwise. Pretty much what brings me here now goes like this :
I had what i thought was a decent amount of money saved up after the restaurant i worked in closed its doors. When i had first started saving this it was originally intended to go into my college fund. After paying rent, car payment, phone bill, food, internet
along with some quality of life expenses i am down to my last 23 dollars. I have already either sold or am in the process of selling anything of value i have in my apartment (funny enough having a hard time doing that too only thing that sold quickly was my xbox 360 and my flat screen). Again, i don't know what to do. I keep doing the right thing. Looking for a job has become my job. I have tried to do everything i can to minimize my spending even down to eating one meal a day and walking to look for work (you would be surprised how after a while walking a few miles is preferable to paying 2.25 for a bus fare). As time is going by my clothing are starting to deteriorate and my shoes are worn on the outer heel of each to the point i can see my socks. I do have another pair of shoes but when you are looking for a job dress shoes i wore once at a wedding and damn near tattered jeans and super faded shirts doesn't sound like a good idea when you're trying to impress a potential employer.
I feel like i am just screwed now. Soon i wont be able to afford my cell phone payments (i need this to keep in touch for job prospects) and i am currently arranging to find somewhere to stay temporarily since i wont be able to afford my apartment anymore (makes me glad i had the forethought to pay a few months rent in advance while i still could). I don't have any family left and my 2 friends in the world and now ex girlfriend are having enough money problems of their own they couldn't help me if they wanted to. I am currently only eligible for foodshare and a reduced payment plan for my electricity. I have tried every state resource that is meant to help out people in my situation but aside from the foodshare and utilities assistance all i found was jaded city workers and disappointment.
Getting to the point i have nowhere else to turn for help aside from charity. I don't have money left and i am freaking out. I ran a laundry list of things that everybody needs and i cant afford simple things anymore like soap, shoes , toothpaste and clothing.
I am planning on getting what i need together and go to college since i don't want to be a cook for the rest of my life but i need some help. Anything that can be thrown towards my expenses so i can keep my head above water until i manage to find a job and pay for my high school transcripts to be translated so i can apply for financial aid and go to school (i am aware that college is not a solution to my situation but i can at least take that time to learn something new that i can apply to hopefully increasing my earning potential). I cant do this if i am homeless.
So please anything can help since its more than i make right now. I am scared and i honestly do not think i will fare well homeless in the streets. I don't want to end up homeless in the dead of winter.
Thank you for taking your time to read this.
Anything from 25 cents to your prayers help.

Hi everyone,

My family and I are going through a challenging time. In October 2010 our car was repossessed and I began to walk to & from work 6 miles each day. I didn't much mind because whatever you have to do to make a legitimate living you do hands down. Unfortunately I developed high blood pressure. That coupled by a chronic pain condition caused me to resign from my job. I did not qualify for unemployment because i quit even though I explained I had no transportation and the job required field visits which I couldn't make without a car. My husband had been trying to find work for two years after his job literally closed overnight with no notice. In May of this year we figured things were looking up. We've borrowed from family members, sold our dryer, jewelry, handbags , etc to our local pawnsmart. My husband got a job in May only to be laid off in August because a coworker made a costly mistake that cost the company their contract with delta airlines. He went to apply for unemployment and was told he wouldn't qualify until october when dept labor begins to look at the april/may/june quarter. Then we received a notice that since he didn't have that many wages for that quarter he'll have to wait until november and reapply. We don't have a car or any, so each time we need to go to dol we walk the 8 mile trek there and back. We have no family in GA where we live and friends seem to exist when you are not in dire straits. We spoke to our leasing company and said we would be late with our October rent. we've contacted one social service agency at the beginning of the month. My husband was interviewed and approved by the worker who said her boss had to sign off on the paperwork. when my husband checked back week later, he was told do not come back to the office we'll receive an approval or denial in the mail. now we have nothing. We've had to ask our local library for toilet tissue, scrape change for soap which is used for both body, dishes and clothing. we are both college educated, no criminal history, hard working adults. To ask for help is really difficult. Our rent is 550 a month. Iam really scared that at any moment we are going to be evicted. A donation of any amount would be appreciated. Thank you and may God bless you.

Hello out there! I am 28, hoping to start a small, organic farm/homestead with my boyfriend, and I am looking for financial assistance in buying land and start-up costs. I have worked on a number of organic vegetable farms, selling both for market and CSA (community supported agriculture, where individuals or families buy a seasonal share and receive weekly boxes of produce). I have some experience with Biodynamic Farming (and intend to study it more), Permacultural design & philosophy, and natural building. I have the knowledge and will, and now I need the start up money!

Ideally I would like to grow medicinal plants (native & non-native) for seed and to sell as starts. I have some experience with this sort of business as well, and would probably start with some basics: lemon balm, peppermint, lavender, milk thistle, Echinacea, etc. We will also begin with a large vegetable garden to supply our own sustenance and to sell produce at a roadside farm-stand or local farmer's market (depending on our location). We will have chickens for eggs and meat, and, after a couple years, I hope to add goats and/or sheep, for milk, meat, and wool. I have learned to spin, and weave (on a four-harness floor loom), and felt, and I hope that we could add to our income with fiber and fiber arts created from our animals. Also interested in soap-making, but don't know much about that yet. Flowers are another potential crop.

We are looking to buy 10-20 acres, probably in the Pacific Northwest. We do have some money for a down payment, and this is a great time to buy property (low mortgage rates and low prices). Other start-up costs will be: building materials for a home, chicken coop, small barn, and fencing; seeds and potting soil; animal feed; fruit tree & perennial herb starts. Anything you could give would help out!! Thank you much, and happy growing!

Temp, Request, I am Kim seeking help due to being out of work and while searching .I am startign to need money for bills and rent and basic, soap etc, its embarrassing howevr,With your help I am sure temporary, The job shall come, I will be here helping just as you helped me. Thank you. Please help. We find places such as this,There are a blessing, Please help me for short time.. Please.

I was in an accident which left me with my left side crushed. I am going through the process of getting Social Security.

I have 6 different doctors I have to go to. I have to have my neighbor take me to doctors because I don't have a car.

I haven't worked in almost 2 years. I need to pay rent which is only $300 a month, but it feels like a million when you don't have it.

I am also in need of regular supplies like laundry soap, toilet paper, money to wash clothes. I haven't been able to wash my clothes since Feb. 3, 2011.

Could you Please Help, anything will be greatly helpful.

I thank you very much, and God Bless You.

Wow, where do I begin? Asking for help was something I've always been ashamed of doing, but I've ran out of options. So here I am.


I don't know about anyone else out there, but it's the first time in my life that I had ever been jealous that someone can buy soap or toothpaste or something like toilet paper or a tooth brush. I wash most everything with dish washing liquid because it's super cheap and get the travel size toothpaste from the dollar stores. I took the tiniest things for granted and I will never in my life do that again.

Whenever I can find a job and be able to start saving up some money; I hope to one day give out packs such as a laundry basket with laundry detergent, soap, shampoo, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and towels to people in need.

I need roughly around $25,000 and I'll explain for what I need this for. I apologize if it's wordy.

I was a housewife who stayed home taking care of the kids and the house. I began looking for a job whether it's part time, full time, or temporary because we started having financial problems due to my ex husband's loss of work. Unfortunately I didn't succeed in finding a job. He did several months later, but it took it's toll on all of us and we recently divorced. Lost our home to foreclosure.

My grandmother did everything she possibly could to help us in our time of need and now it's taking it's toll on her as well which breaks my heart. I owe her around $10,000 for all the help she gave us.

Around 3 years ago my daughter started suffering from Severe Ventricular Tachycardia which she was referred to a Cardiologist for. He found she has Tricuspid and Bicuspid Regurgitation. While the tachycardia is under control now, she will later on have to have valve replacement surgery. He said for now she can live a normal life, but still must be seen every six months. The medical bills now total over $10,000. I can't stand to look at them anymore as they come in the mail, so I know it's now more than that.

I had a credit card that I maxed out from buying food, shoes, toothpaste, toilet paper, shampoo, soap, and paying a few small bills. That is $2000.

So, $10,000 go towards medical bills.
$10,000 go towards paying my grandmother back for being too kind and she can fix up the roof on her house that has began to leak.
And $2000 in credit card debt which with the interest and being severely past due is now $3000 something.

So yes roughly around $25,000 will make this go away and with hope my blood pressure will drop.

Can anyone please help me? I really feel as if I'm drowning. I will be forever grateful.

I am a housewife caring for my terminally ill (I have proof)fiance. Ever since he was diagnosed with roughly 6 months to live in Nov. 2010 we have been in a legal battle with the state of Washington for his medical supplies and an added income to the household for me. Due to his illness and not having the medical supplies he needs it has put a serious strain on our finances. We don't even have enough income to cover the bills, let alone things like soap, tp, gas, or any of the other little necessities for day to day living. I am begging for some assistance so we can get ahead on the bills enough to make my fiance's last days as peaceful as possible, and maybe be able to do at least one of the items on his bucket list. If you would like to read our story go to: terminallyillwastateresidentspeaksout.weebly.com. This is a new website that is not recognized by search engines yet (unless you have time to go through over 4 million entries) so it is necessary to copy and paste or type the web address in the address bar. I sincerely hope there is someone out there who is willing to help before we lose our home. If my fiance was homeless it would quite literally kill him. Thank you for your time and consideration of this matter. If you have any questions or comments for me or my fiance you can contact us with the contact form at the bottom of the home page on our website.

I am 25 years old and I am trying to start my own business, I love making soap and would like to start my own line of natural homemade soaps. I would need about $1500 – $2000 to purchase the items I need to start in this endeavor. I have been trying to save up the money on my own to do this but with bills that need to be paid and my car falling apart around my ears and rent it has become impossible. Please give me the opportunity to follow my dreams.

I had to leave my home for family reasons I'd rather not share. Now, I'm out on my own and have to take care of myself. I live with a friend but she can't take care of both of us. I need money for food and other personal items I need like shampoo, soap, laundry mat fees, and other things. It's my senior year and I'd like to be able to have a yearbook ($35) and a cap and gown so I can walk in graduation ($45 I think). We also got order forms for senior t-shirts which are $15. My friend also has to pay an expensive rent payment for us to live at our apartment and I'd like to be able to help her out sometime. Any donations would be very appreciated. Thank you :)

i'm sure there are plenty on this site who are in more dire circumstances than i, but of course one's situation is always a bigger crisis to oneself.

i was forced to move out of my parents' when my stepmother's ex-husband began making things up in an a effort to gain custody of his daughters. i was accused of drug use, jail time, molestation and anger management issues (none of which applied). my dad and stepmother didn't want to kick me out, but weren't faced with much of an option when the DHS was brought up. i haven't been able to find a job yet (i'm probably doing something wrong, but i certainly don't know what) and my parents don't have the money to help me out.

i don't mind a strict diet of ramen and water, but i've already had to drop out of college because of this soap-opera nonsense, and i'd rather not lose my reluctant new residence as well. already owe backrent and bills for a month, january's is due tomorrow. anything at all helps. and if you've read this far, thanks for your time.

- Q

I have NEVER EVER done this before but I ran across this site and figured I have nothing to loose trying. "Where there is a will there is a way!" Where to start? Sighhh...
I am the sweetest, sensitive, charitable, loving, giving, God Fearing, non judgemental, lover, encourager lady.. Many of my closest friends and family call me an "Angel on earth"... But even Angels need help once in a while.. I'm usually the helper so asking for help is new and a bit hard for me to chew..

First let's start with: My name is Crystal H.. I am a 32 year old caucasion lady that lives in Colorado.. Native to Colorado. Growing up I excelled in school thus earning 4.0 average and constant Honor Roll. I did have College opportunities ect. but at that time I met a young man in college, football player and fell in love. I had a good paying job as an office manager and thought all was good.. It was for several years anyway..We married and At 23yrs. I gave birth to my miriacle baby whom was premature and weighed 2 lbs. 11oz. I was very ill at the end of pregnancy due to acute Eclampsia so she was born early emergency c-cection, flight for lifed to Childrens Hospital in Denver and I stayed in ICU for the first week.. Keep in mind due to circumstances I never was able to see or touch my daughter before they airlifted her to Denver.. Finally one week later my doctor gave me a two hour pass to beable to go to Denver and meet my new daughter for the very first time.. Words can't tell what I felt and the emotions I was feeling.. I still tear up recounting the events.. But yes after many tears, fear of touching or holding her due to her size and all that was hooked up to her I did finally get courageous enough to hold my new born daughter after a week for the first time.. Love at first sight! Chills are still going through my body as I write this.. Anyway's over time she improved and became much stronger. She was small but mighty. I was finally released from the hospital myself and spent all my time with her at Childrens Hospital until release day.. Brought her home at 3 lbs. 12 oz and had the ultimate baby learning/motherly instincts. With 4 yrs. of twice weekly physical therapy she grew out of her challenges, and has grown into an way above average intellence, beautiful nine yr. old.. Thank you God!!!

My next challenges were none to fun at all! My marriage became rocky.. He became abusive physically, emotionally and mentally.. After about the last 3 yrs. becoming so bad and scary I could not deal with his abuse or allow my daughter seeing such activity. So with that said I asked him to leave our home. He would not leave without a police escort, but finally was gone nonetheless.. I am NOT pro divorce at all so after the initial anger callmed down I did go to him asking him to please do counceling with me and let's really try to work this all out. He REFUSED! So after being with my ex husband twelve years we finally did divorce.. =(

Right after the divorce at the age of 30, I was rushed to the ER and diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure. I was in ICU for over one week and spent several months at home on oxygen. But now since the divorce I was dropped from his insurance so I am unable to have the cardiovascular care needed and a heart valve repaired.. But I have faith one day I will beable to have this delt with.. Gotta believe!

Next was really NOT PLANNED or wanted but happened. I finally met a young man whom I started spending much time with. Due to my heart and lack of insurance I was not on birth control but did use condoms with him. Unfortunately a condom did break and yes I did become pregnant.. Three day's before Christmas last year I misscarried the baby and spent two day's in hospital due to D&C and my heart. I was released at Christmas and had a hard time dealing with the hormones, lack of support from the young man, failure in my parents eyes ect.. Just plain and simple was a hard time for me emotionally but I NEVER once let my daughter know of this and still have not to this day. She does not need to be scared any further than what she has already in life.

Now we come to current events.. Swear I have let my life become a soap opera and should right a what not to do and how to survive book for women.. sighhhhh.... Anyways. After being single for nearly a year and of course wishing I could meet a nice (preferably) Christian boy to date and enter into a relationship with a man whom I have known for several years who was a family friend while I was married came back into my life. This time he showed strong romantic gestures and over time did finally earn some trust n love with me. We entered into a relationship and it felt safe and comfortable since I'd known him so long, family new him and my daughter new him well already too..
I finally started becoming happier and was slowly gaining a little self confidence, and believing that things will end up working out finally afterall.. (Keep in mind due to lack of insurance and Heart Failure I was still not allowed on birth control pills like I wanted) we of course used protection always. But two times the condom came off in me.. I hoped all would be fine and I would not become pregnant, not at all wanting to repeat my first ordeal I had with my daughter plus now with my Congestive Heart Failure on top of it all pregnancy would NOT be good! I went to a local clinic and talked to a female doctor there and begged her if there would be anyway I could qualify for any free birth control that would not hinder my CHF.. Finally I had good news.. =) She said she would see if I could qualify for the low hormone Miranna and if I did she would implant it in my uterous for free.. This was to last for five years.. Yes one positive answered prayer. I went to my doctors oppt. as sheduled, they had me do an UA to make sure I was not pregnant before insertion and preped me for the procedure. Right before the Doctor was to do procedure the nurse came into the room and notified both of us that indeed I was pregnant.. My head swirled with confusion, fear, stress ect.. After talking to my doctor briefly about it, my history ect. I left the office and proceeded to go to my boyfriend to update him of the current events.. At the very beginning he sounded happy and positive, even eased my mind a little but about two day's later he up and left me. I have had my first ultrasound and as of yet the baby is alive and well. Strong heart beat. I am nearly two months pregnant, doctor took me off all my heart meds. due to baby. Still no insurance, applied for Medicade which really saddened me that I was at a point I had to do this.. Very humbling to say the least, and am alone, confused, many urging me to abort the baby but remember I am Christian and this is a hard concept for me to accept.. Currently unemployed, single mother, pregnant, no father support, lonely, desperate and really beginning to feel hopeless.. There is a high probability that the acute Eclampsia could repeat itself again as it did with my daughter and now I'm older than before. Not 23 anymore now I'm 32 with Congestive Heart Failure and Hypertension. Trying to support my nine year old the best I can and now so worried and fearful of what is to come.. Christmas just happened and it so did not feel like Christmas to me. Not much I could do for my daughter or my loved ones. I'm so scared of what the near future holds and how I will beable to deal with it, and be healthy enough to continue taking care of my nine yr. old. Need a good job but kinda feel it would be hard since I am so high risk I have MANY constant dr. visits. Neonatal parnatologist, my OB, and supposed to find a cadiologist as well to monitor me.. Medicade pending but no answer if they would accept me yet, bills piling up, and feeling out of control totally of my life right now.. Sad and confused that bf left me too.. I'm praying sooooo hard daily, nightly, looking on internet for at home jobs I could do but most end up seeming like scams, keep going to church in order to help try to keep me grounded and keep the faith that somehow it will all work out.. I sure hope I have not bored you to death, some may be pretty disgusted by my mistakes and situation, but I do hope nonetheless that maybe even just one person actually found this post, read it through, and maybe just maybe is in a posistion of life that they could and would be willing to help me out a little.. The whole "Pay it forward" campaign.. I fully believe in that and fully believe what goeas around comes around.. Regardless of the outcome I wan't to take a moment to wish everyone that took the time to read my post all the best to you and yours, full love and ENDLESS BLESSINGS to all!

With love and true sencerity,
Crystal H...¢¾

My unemployment ran out since March of 2010. I have been in school and have almost 90 college credits and will have a Bachelor's Degree by next year. I will also have $45,000 in debt on top of unpaid credit cards. I owe the corner store man over $100 dollars because my foodstamps do not cover the entire month for myself and my son who is also unemployed and in college, not do they pay for pet food. I have two cats that have been with us for 12 years and I cannot even think about putting them in a shelter, but I am struggling to feed them. I am diligently looking for work, revising and sending my resume, daily. I am so worried and I have health issues such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol from eating sodium filled canned food from food pantries. I stand in lines that last 4-6 hours for a half a bag of groceries, when there is food. I divide the food for my son, my pets and myself. I am so depressed and afraid of what tomorrow will bring. Welfare only gives $140 a month, I currently have no toilet tissue, toothpaste, laundry detergent, shampoo or soap. I can't live like this, all I want to do is work. I have also been taking care of some stray cats and cannot find them a home. I want to work so bad!!! I feel depressed but I keep going the best I can. Please someone help me and my family! I can't fit my old clothes and I don't even have decent clothes or shoes to go on an interview with. My computer is old and on its way out. Any food and pet food household items, clothes will be greatly appreciated. We are really suffering and there is no hope in sight. When I start working again, I will do what I can to return the favor....please, please help us! No one seems to care.

My name is Barbara and I only receive $140 a month from welfare since my unemployment benefits ran out in March of 2010. I have nothing left. I have a year left before I obtain a bachelor's degree and I am diligently looking for work, daily. I have a son who is in college and also unemployed, we are accruing massive debt but don't know what else to do to get a job. We have no food, no pet food, and our computer is on its last leg. We need clothes, I don't have decent shoes or clothes to go to an interview. We are out of toitlet tissue, toothpaste, soap, shampoo and laundry detergent. I don't know what to do, no one seems to care. The food banks are out of food and the ones that do have it, have very little. We have been eating oodles of noodles for weeks and I have high blood pressure and high cholesterol and shouldn't be eating this but it is all that I can afford. Please someone help us, I can't even afford to pay for paypal to receive a donation. However my email address is babbcarney@yahoo.com Please someone hear my cries for help!! I am afraid for my family and pets. I have worked all of my life and I want to work again, now!!! I am frustrated and worried all of the time. Mine and my son's quality of life is gone yet we still keep trying by furthering our education but we need jobs. Until then we need someone to help us, if they would find some compassion in their hearts. I don't like to do this but I have resorted to this as the last option. Please help in any way would help, it does not have to be cash. It could be food, clothes, pet food, computer, shoes, toothpaste, soap, shampoo, deodorant, etc. We have lost our pride and dignity and have resorted to begging. I am crying as I type. Please someone help us!!! When I work again, I will do as much as I can to repay you. Please don't turn away from us, we need you! Is anyone out there that might have it in their heart to help in any way? Anything would be greatly appreciated...from the bottom of my heart. If you email me, I can send my address or phone number. I have a government issued cell phone with limited minutes available, so if you could email me first it would be great! Thanks to all who might even consider helping me and my family, at least one time.

I can not afford basic things we need like tampons, laundry soap, school clothes, she has so much potential and is such a beautiful girl but kids tease her because I can't afford to buy her clothes...we wear the same size so she wears my stuff which is old and outdated ....i'm 37 she's 16........yeah how can I blame her for hating her life....I would have been mortified to have to had worn my moms clothes....but she is humble and smiles and i hear her crying at night and I hear the girls laugh when I drop her off at school....it makes me hate everyone......I try to be strong but I am desperate to give my daughter a happy high school expereince its not her fault.....help if you want and thank you any proof of my situation can be provided.........
