Oh please dear Jesus, let someone have a heart and let me know if there are any real jobs online that are real for sure.
You see I live in Tennessee in the middle of nowhere, the only hope I have is to find something online, will someone let me know please?

My family recently lost their home in Nashville Tennessee and we moved back to the Northwest to be with family.

We sold all of our belongings of value to raise the money for my father's medical transport that cost over $12,000.00 as he can not fly commercial.

My father suffered a sever stroke in 2008, he has been paralyzed and bed ridden ever since.

My mother and I care for him full time to keep him out of a nursing home as we know this would be a death sentence.

I did recently find work and am about to start my new job and with the help of a co-signer we were able to get an apartment that we will move into Friday.

However, that being said our income vs the cost of living is still far from being on par and we have no furniture, no beds, no dishes absolutely nothing as well as just a couple outfits each.

I also do not have a car at the moment and just found out that taking the bus from our new place to where I am going to be working will take about 2 hours each way per day because of the routing and changes.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated, I have never been in a situation like this and it feels horrible to have to ask strangers for help, unfortunately my entire family is broke as well and has only been able to offer us love and some food.

even $5.00 helps, as we are trying to pool together funds to just get the living essentials for a new apartment as I mentioned before we really did sell everything literally.

We came to Oregon on a medical transport RV and they didnt let us bring any belongings with us.

I've decided to try and get help through donations http://www.giveforward.com/unbreakmyheart and funding http://unbreakmyheart2011.blogspot.com/from outside sources since every doctor I've seen in 2 years agree that I need the leads to my ICD (defibrillator) replaced; but shuffle me back to the original doctor and wash their hands of me.

I'm raising funds for ICD replacement surgery, to go see a HOCM specialist (Dr. Craig Asher) at Cleveland Clinic in S. Florida and to have advanced testing through Vanderbilt Autonomic Center in Tennessee.

I don't want to admit I need help; I've always been a strong, independent person who took care of everything and everyone. In August 2009, my whole world changed. After my procedure, I applied for disability and was turned down twice and had to hire an attorney. I went from being "super" mom, wife & friend and care taker of an Autistic son to being the one who had to be taken care of.

So how did I get to the point I have to ask others for help? Shortly before Father's Day 2009, I fell and broke my foot. When it didn't heal, I went to my primary with a broken foot and came out with a broken heart. After the shock wore off from the doctor telling me that I was going to die if I didn't have valve surgery; I started asking questions.

I didn't quite believe him and thought he was over reacting when he told me I was going to die because I walked and ran 3-5 times weekly and even did strenuous yard work. I felt fine and have 4 children aged 9-26 and kept up with them and stayed very active in things they did; but I was a ticking time bomb just waiting for the right time for my heart to stop.

He sent me to several specialists who said I had nothing really wrong, just some mild valve problems associated with aging; which was a huge relief. Everything seemed normal except my EKG's; they showed I had a huge amount of PVC's (premature ventricular contractions) roughly 50,000 “extra” heartbeats daily.

My heart didn't really beat fully; it only quivered like a bowl of jello day in day out. The problem with it beating like this is, the heart becomes very ineffective at pumping and your cardiac output drops and heart muscle damage can occur.

The cardiologist and electrophysiologist I saw did extensive testing and recommended more testing in the hospital. I went in for a sleep study, Tilt table test and EP Study with Ablation. The sleep study revealed I had moderately severe sleep apnea and my oxygen goes from 99% down to 73% at night making it very dangerous for me when I sleep.

The tilt table test was the first inkling that something dangerous was going on inside. I fainted and had no palpable pulse; which is a very rare thing to happen. I was diagnosed with Dysautonomia - Neurocardiogenic Syncope and Orthostatic Intolerance.
I then had an ablation to burn the extra pathways in my heart and get rid of the pvc's I was living with daily. I was told this would be a relatively easy process and given a 95% success rate to get rid of the extra beats completely but it never crossed my mind that anything would happen.

What preliminary tests failed to show, is the pattern and origin of my arrhythmias were in a very dangerous spot to ablate - the RV Apex – in the bottom thin underside of the heart.

During the EP Study, I went into cardiac arrest and my heart stopped completely with no rhythm they could shock (Asystole), some how it started again for a few minutes but then stopped again. They were able to shock me back to normal sinus rhythm and luckily, the third time it stopped; it restarted on it's own so I didn't have to be shocked again.

I was diagnosed with Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia; a very dangerous, life threatening arrhythmia. I stayed in the hospital for 4 days trying to find a cause and to be prepped for an ICD (implantable cardiac defibrillator).

It took a cardiac catherization to finally find the problem and to show I had HOCM (obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy) and internal high pressures in my valves.

My regular EP had to go out of town after the first procedure, so his partner had to do the implant; he wasn't as skilled as my regular dr and botched the lead implants.

When they checked the leads the next day before releasing me, they found a problem with the lead placement but the dr said it was "ok" and sent me home. Since then, I've had nothing but problems with the unit and been told by several other EP's I need to have the leads replaced and the ICD could be causing part of my problems.

Doctors think my other problems are related to HOCM (obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy) and Autonomic nervous system failure and when I faint, my heart stops briefly causing damage each time this happens.

After the procedure, my body started failing from the damage it sustained the 4 times my heart stopped. My original cardiologist told me I would be in a wheel chair and totally dependent on others for everything by the time I'm 50; which is daunting because in March I'll be 45 and I can't deny the facts - my body is failing.

I was put on 10,000g sodium daily, water/fluid loading, Midodrine (insurance won't cover it $312 - 30 day supply), Propanolol, Pantoprazole, pain meds, suppression hose and binders as well as having to stay supine the majority of the day - which caused my heart failure to worsen and my EF (ejection fraction) to go down.

Nothing the doctor's have tried has helped, I still faint and my heart stops on a daily basis and I never know from one day to the next if something is going to trigger fluid build up and I have an acute attack.

In June 2011 I fainted falling into the side of my tiled tub, lacerating the side of my head in the process, severely sprained my neck and suffered a concussion. After that episode, I became a bit more cautious with every move I make because the dr found declining neurological functioning and mild brain damage; he said any more falls could lead to permanent major brain damage.

With so many previous medical bills and co-pays, I can't afford the 20% co-insurance to have my ICD replaced and Mayo Clinic wants a $5,000 deposit up front even with insurance. My ICD alone is $125,000, leads another $30,000 and then there's the doctor and hospital fees; which I won't know the cost until the procedure is done.

Each heart rhythm specialist and cardiologist I see tell me there is nothing more they can do after going over my history and treatments; I have a long hard fight to go and I have to just be thankful each day I'm alive. Some days I'm really glad I made it through, other days when the problems and pain take over; I wish the dr's had let me die.

I developed PTSD after the procedure, panic disorder and extreme agoraphobia. I went into such a deep depression over my health issues, I was afraid I would never see the lighter side of things again. I finally went to see a psychologist who prescribed Lamictal and diagnosed me with Bi-Polar disorder which has helped greatly but I still struggle on a daily basis.

One day we were just the “normal” every day family and the toughest thing we had to deal with is a child with Autism. Then; our whole lives changed in an instant we were dealing with mounting medical bills, expensive prescriptions, tests, appointments, loss of income and dealing with the possibility of death on a daily basis.

You just never know what the day may bring, so keep those you love close to you and never take one second for granted.
From the bottom of my heart thank you - even if it's support to say hey; I'm here if you need to talk or I know how you're feeling.

I'm 64, male, disabled, and on a low fixed income. Because of a bad decision to join a friend's business I'm now in Tennessee and stranded. I need to go back to Florida where I had better health care and more help with food and day to day needs. The system here in Tennessee is MUCH tighter as to benefits and with a tiny income it leaves me NO money for emergencies - much less relocation again. My friends here cannot be counted on to help me go back to my life in Florida.
Thanks for reading.

Recently moved to Tennessee. Have job working in hotel, which is low pay. Three unexpected visits to dentist for wife have cost over one thousand dollars. This has resulted in basically no Christmas and I am at a loss on how to pay upcoming bills? Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and Happy Holidays to you.

I am a single mother of three children and I work very, very hard as a registered respiratory therapist. I have always given my last dime to anyone and I have a huge heart. My husband left us with no money, and a huge amount of debt. They have reposessed my car from my employment, forclosed on my house and now they are garnishing my wages. I have been working two jobs, gotten a used car, 2 bedroom apartment for my kids, yay. It is an accomplishment, but I still can't even put food on the table. Their dad has left the state and remarried, left us for good. I have tried United Way, Catholic charities, churches and I am out of ideas. No luck. DHS and my children's school said I make too much money to get reduced lunches or food stamps. I am desperate to put food on my table and sleep with heat. I am at my breaking point. I live in Tennessee and have very little family here and they are not able to help themselves. Thank you for taking the time to read my post and God bless.

My husband and I just found out that my step children have been molested and there momma abandoned them. We live in Tennessee and they are in Nebraska. We are having financial issues at the time,I fell seven weeks ago and tore all the tissue and ligaments in my ankle and have been unable to work. My husband is trying the best he can. In the begining of oct my brother in law got in a tragic accident we have been paying for all his meds and dr out of pocket,we need to get our children and we need help. Please find it in your heart to help us.

Hello, my boyfriend and I need to move from Fort Lauderdale to Tennessee by November of 2011. I have been unemployed since January 2009 and have had some temp jobs and interviews, but no permanent hiring. It’s very hard down here and not getting any better in South Florida. I have also been making clay jewelry pieces to sale but it isn’t bringing in enough income to support the cost of living in South Florida.

We have a relative willing to let us move in as long as we pay rent for 1 bedroom and help her with her baby. She even has a job opening for me which I will definitely take. However, given current financial issues we can barely make the move. We need an estimate of $2,000 to pay for preventive car maintenance, gas to travel 880 miles, packing material, and 2 months worth of rent for the bedroom.

I would be more than happy to help you in exchange for helping me. I have experience with general office work including MS Word: documentation, proof reading, editing, research, and data extraction; Excel workbooks: charts, tables, bookkeeping, and data entry.

I am a single mother of a disabled son and we have been going through extraordinarily hard times. Neither of us can stand to stay here in Tennessee anymore. We can't survive here and both of us are fed up. We were hit by a tornado in April and still don't have our vehicle fixed. Went 3 weeks without electric and they turned us off during this heat wave without any chance of a week extension. There is no help and because I have been fighting back, we are being harassed. We can't take anymore and we want to move. Today, one of our pets needed emergency surgery and is still at the vet. It's a $350 vet bill. We are living on $624 a month and just can't make it. Please help us get out of here so we can move somewhere where we will have the opportunity to survive. I am on my knees begging..please help us?

Hello, my name is Tony Martinez and I am a singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist. I am part of the burgeoning outlaw country music scene here in Arizona. I have recently acquired a great opportunity to record an album with 2 time Grammy award winning producer Larry Butler. He believes in my music and wants to record an album with me. the only problem is there's costs involved. I have to pay the studio, engineer, musicians and mixing and mastering and duplication. Basically the whole package. this is how the business works nowadays due to the crappy economy. It will cost around 15 to 20k. I know in these days not many people have an extra 20k laying around but I have no other means to raise these kind of funds necessary to complete this project. When we finish this album, he will take it to all the major labels in Nashville to get a record deal seeing as he wont make any profit unless he sells it. If you are willing to invest in me and my career I can promise that once we get a record deal that you will be fully reimbursed and will receive a huge thanks on the album. There's no doubt in my mind that this will work. I will break through the monotonous sound coming out of Tennessee and have songs on the charts. this is my time and i just need a way to get there. thank you for your time and hopeful consideration.

I live in Missouri, and my fiance is currently living in Tennessee. I was able to visit him in July, for my birthday, and I haven't seen him since.

I miss him so much, sometimes I cry myself to sleep. I have decided that I would like to see him on Christmas, but I don't have the money. I've tried everything I possibly can to get some extra money, to no avail.

A round trip ticket will cost 181 dollars via Greyhound. If I could get the money, I would feel a little better about the situation, knowing that I will be able to see him again soon. I have faith that someone will help me see my love again.

Hey, my name is Jennifer and because of some things falling through I have gotten behind on my rent. I am just looking for some help in getting caught back up and even have a page on MicroGiving where I have documents to prove my need-
