Toddler Tags

Hello. I'm a 30yr old single mom of toddler twins. I am employed part time and have my own place. I usually work extra time in order to meet my bills but my little girl got sick and I had to take unpaid time off of work. As a result I am 700 dollars short on the rent money and I only have 2 days to come up with it. I don't want to take out a loan that I can't afford to pay back. I am really begging for someone's help as I don't want to lose my place. I have no where else to turn. Please and thank you In advance

Hello, I am so uncomfortable doing this. I am a 42 year old woman with two wonderful toddler boys ages 3 and 2. My troubles started in 2010 during my pregnancy with my second child. I became very sick and the doctors were unable to find the cause. During the search for a cause I was diagnosed with Lymphoma, but the cause was finally identified when I gave birth two months prematurely. I will not go into graphic detail, but I came out of the hospital 7 weeks later,with shortbowel syndrome and other serious problems. My son thankfully was fine and is thriving. I worked for a government agency for 16 years, and suddenly found myself surviving on disability. I must add that my husband was not much of a help. We are currently seeking to get divorced after 5 years of marriage. Through my illnesess he has been verbally, emotionally and on occasion physically abusive. I prolonged the divorce due to my health conditions and he is a good father to our children. My, what I thought was an upstanding, husband lost his job in 2009 and has not worked since but some small jobs. Even though he has worked, he has barely contributed to supporting the family. I have managed to keep the family afloat by paying the critical bills. What I haven't been able to pay is:

*our monthly condo maintanence fee of $258.00 for the past 3 months.
*I have a $160.00 car insurance payment due on 6-10-12, this will keep my paid until 10-10-12.
*The divorce attorney is asking for a $2500.00 retainer.
*June health insurance of $555.00.
*The numerous unpaid medical expenses.

I make it happen with the rest of the things my boys and I need. In July of 2012 I will recieve Medicare, since I will then have been on disability for 2 years. I think that will make things somewhat easier on me. As a note, lymphoma is not being treated right now. Thank goodness the nodules have remained stable, though if there is any change I will probably have to start some sort of treatment.

Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated. Since almost dying in 2010, I have a renewed faith in God (though I have always been a believer). I know that God walks beside me and my children and the He watches over us. Prayers to all that are on this site, whether asking for help or giving it.

I am a 33 year old single mom who is caring for her younger brother and a toddler. I also have two preteen daughters who are disabled. The child support that was due to come in this month was not received by the CSD office. So I am left to asking for help. My family dose not qualify for state services and my kid brother has (ESKD) for those who do not know what that is End stage Kidney Disease. He just got a letter that states he is terminal. At 29 years old he should not have been diagnosed with Polly-cystic kidney disease with renal failure along with ESKD. We are applying for SSI for him but have to wait for the state to decide if he qualify for assistance in the mean time we are facing loosing our home, and ending up on the streets. With my brother that is a death sentence and I would not be allowed to see my girls. They have lost one parent due to death and I hope to keep having them over so they can see their baby brother and myself. We are asking for help with Rent and Power only (Both are late). I am still looking for work and have no way for employers to contact me but by email. I try but have not had any luck.If you can help with anything that would greatly be appreciated. Thank you and GOD Bless you! Thank you for taking the time to read this. For any proof needed please email me and I will provide the documentation that is needed.

I am a single mom with two teens and a toddler. My kid brother is suffering from Renal failure End stage. Our Rent is coming due soon on the 30th and I have no income coming in currently. I am still looking for work and trying to support my 3 kids and kid brother. We no longer QUALIFY for state help just medical for the kids. Please help us our rent is $ 350.00 we can't find anything cheaper and I have no family to turn to but my kids and kid brother.
Child support is not consistent so I may get it one month or not at all. My girls lost their dad in 2007 and they don't qualify for survivors benefits. I don't know what else to do. We are fighting for SSI for my kid brother.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. Any thing helps!

I am a 30yr old single mother to an 18 month old toddler. I work a full time job to support myself and my son but had an emergency surgery that left me in steep medical bills. While the hospital's Charity Care took care of a lot of it, I owe $4000 which is being taken out of my paychecks. As a result, we are struggling bad.I've done everything to try and get loans to pay off the debt but have not been approved. I'm on the verge of losing my apartment and am having trouble paying my utilities and keeping food on the table. It's very sad times. I love my son more than anything in this world and I just want to get past this. Anything helps!

I'm a 33 year old mother of three boys. I grew up in an abusive home and proceeded on to an abusive marriage that lasted 13 years. From that marriage I have 2 sons, ages 13 and 11. My 13 year old was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome at age 9; my 11 year old has conduct disorder and has a tentative diagnosis of bipolar disorder. About 4 years ago, I finally had the courage to walk out of my abusive marriage and try to build a safe and normal life for my sons. Fast forward a year, and I found the love of my life and soulmate and remarried.I moved 5 hours away from my ex husband, thinking we would be safer. My ex husband remarried as well. Unfortunately, he married an attorney. Over the course of the last 3 years, we have been kept in court with custody battles and such, while my ex used his new wife's knowledge of the law to find every possible way to avoid paying child support. WE had to pay for an attorney, while his wife represented him for free. Not to mention, the court where we had to go for these cases was less than a mile from his home, while we had to travel 5 hours each way. My current husband and I have a son together now who is almost 2 years old. For 6 months of the last year my ex had finally been paying child support. My husband works to provide for us, while also having to support his son from a previous marriage. That's supporting 6 people on one income! So, having the child support really helped. (I am currently unemployed as we have no means of transportation and live in a rural area with no public transportation, and also have 2 children who are too old for daycare, yet cannot be left unattended due to their disorders.) We werent wealthy by any means, but we managed to make it from week to week and keep our bills paid. However, in October, my husband's employer went out of business with no notice. In the same week, my ex ceased making child support payments and the transmission went out in our vehicle. My husband, out of desperation, found a friend two towns away who would allow him to stay with him so my husband would be in an area with public transportation so he could look for work ( the friend has a one bedroom home that would not house us all, so the kids and I stayed here). All he has managed to find so far is a part time fast food job that barely covers his child support payments. This morning I was delivered the court eviction papers that will render my children and I homeless. If this happens, I have no doubt that my abusive ex will do everything he can to take my children away from me. At this point, I do not even have a way to get to the grocery store, let alone to another state to fight for custody of my children, and I certainly cannot afford legal representation. Our current situation is this: my husband and I must live in two different towns because of lack of transportation and income; I am stranded in the middle of nowhere with two special needs children and a toddler; we are on the verge of eviction with no place to go (neither my husband nor I have any family who can help); all of our utilities will be turned off within a week (no water or heat, we already do not have a phone); and my vindictive, abusive ex husband who does not even bother to financially support his children could potentially regain custody if we find ourselves homeless. I am living in a nightmare right now, and am at the end of my rope! I have no other place to turn and I am really praying that this option can help me find a light at the end of this long, dark tunnel. My h usband and I are both abuse survivors who have children with special needs. We are currently full time college students, studying psychology and social work (3.88 GPA's for both of us) because we have been through just about everything imaginable and want to use our past negative experiences to help others who are suffering or surviving and trying to cope. Our only goals in life are to give our children a decent life and help others who need it when we are able. All we need is a little help getting to the point where we are able.

My name is Sarah, and I am 23 years old. I have a 2 year old daughter Olivia, who is my light and the reason I am still living. Her father abandoned us when I discovered he was doing heroin. We were married for 7 years and he was always gone but I thought it was because he was working. As foolish as I was, I got out of the situation and recently got Olivia and I a roof over our heads. I work fulltime as a pharmacy technician but i only make $7.25 an hour. Olivia asked me the other day if she was a bad girl because she never gets any toys. I have just enough to keep us fed, a roof over our heads and barely make it for diapers. We share a toddler mattress on the floor and have 1 cup and 2 bowls and 1 set of silverware.. so needless to say I just can't buy any toys. She wanted me to write a letter to santa asking for a coloring book and some crayons because she wants to be able to color at home. It broke my heart. I literally do not even have a $1 extra to purchase these things for her, and it makes me feel like such a horrible mother. If anyone could help me get my daughter a coloring book and crayons from santa, I will be eternally grateful and you will make a precious little girls dreams come true.

My beautiful baby girl (age 2.5 yrs old) has been thru more in her short life than most have ever been thru. She is so strong and a fighter, and honestly stronger than me. Her 4th major surgery is Sept 13th. Her last surgery did not work. She has 2 birth defects (lip pits and cleft palate) as well as 2 syndromes (Pierre Robin and Van Der Woude). It has completely altered her life as she has never been able to eat, speak, or breathe correctly as a baby and toddler SHOULD. I am barely making ends meet working what little I can around her special needs and I don't get child support or government assistance...but it's looking like I am going to have to look into it. Please help. I cannot possibly work anymore hours and I am about to have to take almost a month off for her surgery and recovery :( I have no family that can help me out and if I don't pay Sept's rent by the 15th, I will be up for eviction. My power is paid up til Oct thank goodness but my water bill will be due in 2 weeks. Please help :(

My husband and I are permanently taking in his 11 year old nephew because the State is taking permanent custody from the mother and we didn't want him to go into foster care. We are low income and have 3 children of our own, ages 5, 3, and 1. Both our 5 year old and the 11 year old we are taking in start school at the end of the month. We need clothes and shoes for school. He has all of one backpack worth of clothing and 1 pair of shoes that are falling apart. Also, to accomodate the 11 year old, we need a bunkbed with mattresses(we just have toddler beds now), a dresser, sheets, comforter, and basic neccessities for him. We had to spend what little savings we had repairing our 11 year old van just a few months ago. If you can help AT ALL, please do. I gladly purchase used items to save money, but it still adds up with our now 4 kids. Please help!

I have found that asking for donations hasnt helped me so far through this difficult time so I am begging on my hands and knees for a job! I need a full time job and fast! I am experienced in the office/admin/data entry/customer service sector. Please help me and my toddler get through, we dont want to lose our house, we have bills piling up and I am at a loss :0(

I am a stay at home mother and carer for a disabled husband. I would like to start up a baby and toddler wares (animal themed stuff) business so I can support my family and eventually get off welfare all together.

I need 1200 in start up costs so any help would be hugely appreciated.

thank you in advance.

I have been in the need for money for a long time now. I have looked and looked for ways to get help, various odds and end jobs, the works, but now I have to resort to the pity and kindness of others to hopefully gain some of the ground that I have had swept out from under me. I am a father with a toddler and a fiancé, and all the medical bills that followed her because she suffers from Crohn’s Disease. (The Story of my wreck…) My fiancé and I lived in North Carolina for two years, life was decent and there was nothing wrong but we just couldn’t get enough money saved up to get married like we wanted. We were OK with that until God blessed us with our first child, we knew life would take more scarifies, and I began looking for better work. Then my prayers were answered with a fantastic job out west, but we had to come to terms with the fact that I would not be able to take my family with me…
I would have to take the job out west, go there, save enough money to move them after I found a house and gotten settled in… Well, all was well for the first month, I just about had enough to finally bring my family with me and live comfortably for the amount of time it would take for my fiancé to find work herself. Then the worst trial I have ever faced hit me… My wonderful management level job outsourced to India, leaving me with a meager severance (enough to cover my bills and help my Fiancé) So now I’m stuck in Washington paying for two rents, a car (I take the public transportations), and all the overflow finances my fiancé cannot cover on her smaller salary. I began to wonder how it could not get any worse, and I was shown how much worse it really could get. My Fiancé was stricken with a terrible Crohn’s flare that put her out of work and in the hospital for two months… They had to give up the house, move in with my parents, and all the while, I am 3000 miles away picking up lousy manual and clerical work to make ends meet as best I can.
I’ve run over my finances over and over again. Now I’m not homeless, nor are my fiancé and son, but I cannot get them here without some extra help. After looking over all I owe and all that I would need to make life livable for them is just around $10,000. Roughly $2000 to ship the rest of our belongings out here to the home I’m currently renting, more or less $4000 to keep the medical bills from going to collections, $1245 to cover the cost of breaking our lease(The house my fiancé was living in) $1200 to make the car payment current(Insurance included), and $1500 to give us some safety room for her recovery until she is able to work again. I am not looking for large amounts of money from people; I just would like to get the sympathy of as many people as I can so that I can see them again… With your help to get me to my goal I can finally pick up the pieces and make my family whole again…

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,

my mom has recently became mentally ill and very depressed, she has been in and out of the ER and mental facilities. me and my sister have been struggling to get her house paid off she has worked very hard her whole life and I would be devastated if she lost her home considering she only has $2500 left on her loan. she has experienced a very sad childhood and thats probably why she has been having so many mental problems recently shes only 49 years old but yet she has lived a very painful life, when she was a young child she seen her mother take her own life, along with very abusive behavior from her mother towards her and brother, my mom would tell me horrible stories about her and her brother being toddler aged would have to hunt for food in the cabinets because there mother was to sick to fix them something to eat, so they would eat a bottle full of chewable vitamins because they were so hungry. there mother had epilepsy which caused very bad seizures, and I guess she just couldnt take the pain anymore so she ended her short life at 29, after this tragedy my mom and her brother where in and out of different foster homes. but that didnt discourage her from being the best mother to her children, and a wonderful independent women, she raised her children by herself without any help from anyone not even from the gov., she help everyone she possibly could she cleaned a sweet old ladys home once a week because she was sick with cancer, another older lady thats shes close too, she felt bad for one year because she told her she was upset because she couldnt afford to buy her grandbabies Christmas gifts that year, so my mom searched all the goodwills to gather toys for the lady’s grandbabies and surprised her with the toys that Christmas! My mom could do anything on her own before she got sick, she could work on her own vehicle, sew up clothes, drapes, anything, she’s an artist, there’s nothing she couldn’t do, Im just so distraught to see her like this she was always so strong but now I think all those bad moments in her life has caught up with her, please help me pay off her home.
