Hello I am a 33 year old mother of  three.  We are with out gas and soon the eletric will be out also.  I am trying to find a job, and a car  Any old junker will do... I can't get a job with out a car...  I wish I could find some help somewhere...  I would do just about anything for the help that is needed.    I  want to know how ppl are given cars to drive for advertisment.   thanks for listening to me.

 

I have been reading all that I can on this site and others.   I have to say the BEST HELP is  YOU HELPIING YOURSELF... In my area 211 is one way to find help... I can say that most charities are overwelmed at this time.  I am a stay at home MOM of 3 and will say that we struggle to make ends meet but I don't think I would have it any other way..   I know my kids are Well taken care of and are not in any trouble..  I have a 16 year old and a lot of her friends do drugs...  Her friends parents both work full time jobs and can't be around as much as I can.  I am starting to look at life like this,   So what I can't buy them the best christmas ever,   So what that we never have any savings,  and will never be able to go on vacation.  My kids have all they should need a mom and dad working hard to make sure they don't get into trouble and grow up to good responible adaults...  I am sick of asking for help.  I would rather live on the streets then ask anyone to help me knowing they will just trun around and say no again..   Life only help those that helps themselfs...

Hi,

I know exactly how you feel. It seems like those ppl out there just for themselves get everything they want. I try to help ppl when i can and it seems like no one can offer me help. It gets you really down. But think of this, would you rather be someone out for just yourself or someone out for anyone that needs help?  Hopefully you will find a way out of this, just keep your head held high!!!

God bless you
Jessica

Learn to spell, you are whining more than most of these poor desperate people who have at least a shred of hope for themselves.

I am a stay home mom who loves to be on the computer and I am looking for someone to recommend me to work on this website and information you might have to help me out would be great.

Don't give up. Children learn that love is what matters. I will pray for you and your family. Be blessed you have children. We cannot. I suffer in a different way but understand your pain.

PennyLee- One thing I cam to realize fairly quickly is that Material things are workable. However health is not. WE need to thank GOD for our health. Sometimes certain things happen to us so that we can get stronger in life in the future when we will most need it. GOD is there for us, but we need to ask him for things. I am a very proud person and do not like asking for help. It is easier to do it on an internet webpage because it is easier and we don't have to be face to face with someone and we can vent better. In the back of our minds we are hoping that someone that is wealthy comes across this site and help us. Maybe when GOD wants it to happen it will. If GOD makes sure that all the birds are fed, he will be sure that we his children are fed and are cared for. Maybe not in the way we want to see it happen, but it will on his time. Life is not easy. I too had my first child young. I had my first child at 16. But you know, for my children (I am a mother of four now) I would do anything to get them what they need and make sure they are in bed with a semi-full stomach. I am a Real Estate agent here in Georgia. I left a good part time employment that was feeding my family and paying my bills because of the stress that the girl I was assisting was putting me through. I now think maybe I did not make the right decision. Now Thanksgiving is next week and Christmas in a month. But there is not a day that goes by that I ask my Great GOD for help. He has helped me. I picked up two potential clients. I am praying that I close something fairly quickly. Hope is a Huge word for all of us. I know you have it deep down inside. You need to revive it by looking into your beautiful children's eyes and Thank GOD for them on a daily basis as not all parents have children that are alive! You will be in my prayers. Are you a single mother or have a husband that makes it to just keep the household running? What state do you live in? Maybe I can find someone to help you? Ps. Sorry if I sounded harsh in the first response to you.

cuty77 and for all those that read my last post.. Forgive me I am sorry to sound so mean, Hope is something I don't have in life anymore. I live for my kids and have sence I was 17. I don't eat unless my kids are full. I don't do anything for me. And no matter what I do it is never good enough. I am a stay at home mom by chose and I am starting to think I made the wrong chose. I am not strong enought, and have watched life pass me by for so long. I am sorry to all that still have hope and believe that god will help or listen. Just becouse I have lost hope in myself and god, don't mean I have the right to say a thing to any of you. So again sorry for being such a downer about life...

Pennylee- I have never read anything so mean in my entire life. You cannot guarantee that no one will receive help. You are right in one small detail. That there is a small chance of someone looking at their ad and making their dream come true. But sometimes HOPE is the only thing that pulls someone together. I am not rich nor poor. But I am struggling just like everyone else. I am a mother of four. I quit my job and decided to do my own thing. I have my own business, however it is not going as great as I would have liked it too, but you know........HOPE and GOD are the only things that keep me going. My four kids may not have a Christmas, but by God do not take someone's hurt and pain and take it to town. It is not our fault that you are so bitter and not able to have anyone help you that you need to take everyone with you. I promise you and everyone that posts on this board that if I make a huge sale a few weeks before Christmas, I will sponsor a family on this site!!! But--- Grow UP and utilize your time hurting yourself than someone else!! May God Bless you and your family and i WILL PRAY for you and that all your bitterness will go away!!! www.TravelBeater. com Just incase someone that comes across my site needs some kind of service.

Hey penny, don't give up. First of all you are looking in all the wrong places for help. Did you ask Jesus yet? If you gave your life to Christ he will come through, believe me I was doubtful too several years ago but since then What ever I ask in his name I receive, almost the same day sometimes. Remember if you keep doing the same thing, you'll keep getting the same results. Try talking to Jesus and look for signs from him for the direction you should go, you will prosper in every way. He wants to guide you in your journey. Jesus Loves you. Herb

Been to your page and read your story. you do have a problem there. First get to your local womans abuse center and get a restraining order. then find somewhere to stay without your husbands knowledge. File for divorce and get support. As for your lost lover, don't count on him to make you happy. First of all he probebly left you because you were looking for a substitute for a husband, and he is not looking for a full time wife. You set yourself up to his abuse also, weather you know it or not you will be happy just getting out of the bad marrage first. Then give yourself time to calm down without running off to another loser. Please take my advise, you won't be sorry. God Bless you. Herb P.S. They can't help with mortgages under $75000. Thanks anyway.

Hello all well this is my last post here prob. I am not having anyluck finding help for NO ONE. I am no asking for hand out no more. I went to all the church groups and goverment agancies. No luck.. America is soo poor that most of us can't not afford to pay our bills. And most of the places that give help are always with out money. If I lose my house and job I might get Help then and only then. LOL I am sick of life and this crap.

Thank you for that phone number. I have gone to alot of places looking for help and they are one of the last I will try. I am still waiting to hear from them. It is really sad tho. We are not that much in trouble yet so no one will help. We still own our home and my husband has a job, So no one will help us. All the goverment help are either not taking applacations or we have a home still so they wont help. When we become Homeless they will help but by that time I feel it will be too late. I am starting to think we are just over poverity so NO ONE will help. I am starting to think my kids would be better off with out us. Even tho we make ok money, say about 25,000 a year. I am not sure how much more I can take. My mential state wont last long, I am getting to depressed to care. Calling all over this sad country for help just to be told No is killing me. I am done trying to ask for help. I am getting a part time job but that wont be enought. Can't get a full time job I have no money to pay for day care. This life is getting old and I am losing all hope. Thanks any ways for the # mary alone we will see if I ever hear from them.

Check out the St.Vincent de Paul Society of your local catholic church(I found a listing for Immaculate Conception on Euclid Ave,440-942-4500,I don't know if they are close to you, but there are others) to see if they can help you, you don't need to be a member. Our local office (in Georgia) helps out with food, money for bills and even Thansgiving meals and Christmas gifts. When my own situation improves I will remember you.
