Not sure how to get started, but here goes...

My name is Harry,  I'm married, and my wife is disabled, we have an 11 yr old daughter, about 2.5 yrs ago we bought this house my wife really liked.  I didn't think we could get it.  Didn't think we made enough.  But to my surprise, the loan went through.  I later find out, its called a no doc loan.  And I was right we really couldn't afford the house with all the other bills.  So any ways..... Lets see...Last June, oh, I'm a truck Driver, last june, at work I hurt my back at work lifting something to heavy, and was placed on light duty, and being in fear of losing my job I did my best to maintain my normal delivery job.  At the company I worked for they were laying people off all over the country.  Well on 10-2-2008, my day came.  So now I on light duty workers comp, no job, no income, oh, 275 per week unemployment helps, but no benenfits, almost 2000 dollar mortgage payment, my wife just had 4 disks fused in her back, thank God we HAD insurance for that, but she still needs to see the doctor for follow ups, but now no insurance.  We hardly made it when I brought home 700 dollars per week.  We're trying to get food stamps, help from our church, family???  I don't know really what else to do.  I have all kinds of tools.  Only problem, cant use them.  I've always been able to come up with side work or something and now, just to go out and get the mail out of the mail box, I'm doing good...

We live in the Tampa, Florida area, so if anyone has any idea, suggestions, whatevers, I'm just so lost.  As of right now.  We have yet to be late on any payments, any have good credit, hate to screw that up too.  But I guess just like the rest of america, to foreclose on our house.  Damn I hate thinking about it....I even called our mortgage company.  They cant help. because, we're not behind yet.....

I'm not looking for any hand outs, not that I woulnd'nt take them.  But, please, any suggestions, I'm never been in any situation like this before, and it just seems like every where I turn I just run into a brick wall....

Thanks  Harry........

Hello everyone out their, my name is Lacy and I'm in need of help.  About 2 years ago me and my oldest sister sonji got into a fight, well not so much of a fight but it got nasty and i ended up in the hosiptal with a knee problem which limits me to do the type of work i do.  Then in 2006 of October i got into a car accident which ended up badly.  I now have spine problems.  To make i long story short I'm out of money and need big help to pay my rent which is now past due and water bill is pass due and I now have a new bill due for electric.  I figure since I'm the type of person who will give my last to someone if they needed it more then me.  I'm always giving to the homeless even if its just a dollar, I give.  I fell like that what god would want us to so either way Blessing will come my way.  I have 2 teen Daughter's that i take care of and i now have been caring for my nephew's 3yr-old son for about  2yrs now with no help from no one.  If anyone can help me and my Family I truely would appreciate it.  I'm asking that's all i can do.

Hello,

I am 22 years old, I recently started going back to school after 7 years out of school. It has been very hard looking for a job in Florida. When I do get one is usually a temporary or seasonal position. I am very depressed all the time due to the fact that I won't dare to smile in front of anyone because my teeth are breaking and I am constantly in pain. I would hate for someone to notice I am missing some teeth. It is so expensive and I can't afford it. I have been searching the Web for dental grants and etcetera but i haven't been successful at it...I am not on drugs or anything like that so that its not the cause of my teeth deteriorating.. I also have a bad case with my skin I think it is disgusting, Between my legs n Under my breast its full of blackheads, I try using facial cleaners for blackheads which just keeps the area clean but wont remove them. Its so hard.....:( I don'y know what to do anymore...Please If you know of any company or grants available contact me I would sincerely appreciate it.. Thank You

I am a wife and mother of 4. In january 2006 my husband was shot in front of my eyes at work. I almost became a 33 year old widow that night. By the grace of God my husbands life was spared. Since that night he has undergone lots of treatment and strived for a full recovery. All this time we where living off of what little savings we had. I just tried to be the best mom and wife possible in this tragic time. Now that it is nearing christmas I feel as though I am drowning not knowing how I am going to make this a wonderful Christmas for all of them. It would mean the world to me to be able to pick up the ball where my husband left off and save the day making them all proud, happy, grateful etc. My family deserves a wonderful Christmas and would be so appreciative to all who could lend a hand. daughter is 14, my son 11, my son 8, my son 6 and of course my husband who faught to stay alive because of us: his family.

Why does life have to be so hard?????

My name is Christine but friends call me christylynn or just christy.  I have been divorced now for about 5 years with two children that I love more than life.  In 2004 my son who is now 11 almost did not make through his intensive care while attending St. Joesph's Hospital due to pnuemonia/immune disorder that permanently damaged his left lung.  I spent the two years before and still today making sure that he is okay.  I guess it was the strength and determination of wanted to live that kept him and I going, pulling off each other.  The whole time I did not realize that my daugther who is now 13, was falling sick from an unknown illness.  I also did not realize that we were living within the walls of toxic mold either!  So, what happen?  Well, with no family help for the hundreds of times I have spent in and out of the hospital between the two of them I thought that I would never mae through it.  I lost friends because they could not handle all the sickness, family never came around or they were too far away to care and I found myself at the bottom of the barrel.  Somehow, maybe strength from above or just that darn determination that I had once before with my son and then again with my daughter when she was diagnosed with lupus and chronic ITP last year in 2005, but I found it and I started to rebuild my life and my childrens life with no help.  I have always been the person who never asked for helped EVER!.  I felt that if I could do it by myself that I would not have to worry or feel guilty about repaying anyone back.  But guess what, life is not that way.....I still find time to help out the little old ladies across the hall from me with groceries and event he kids in the neighbor hood that seem to always be alone.   Today, my son is much better with his immune system but still fights a tad with his asthma and my daughter--well lets just say that she still struggles with keeping her platelets count up so she does not hemmorage out but now I actually need the help.  There is one thing that I always wanted to do---it was to finish college.  I have tried for so long now--in and out in and out that I have lost financial aid because I tried to go to universities like Florida Metropolitian University that take advantage of students and I guess I seemed too ignorant or either desparte to pay attention to what they were doing which was absorbing all my funds.  I know that not one person knows me nor do they have to believe what I have been through becasue lord only knows that between the sickness and the visits to doctors and hospitals that I am completely exhausted but I only have four classes left and I just can not afford to pay for nay more classes.  My daughters doctors want her to go to Fort Lauderdale Florida to see this speciality doctor to see if they can help her and the insurance will not cover all of it so once again the money for school for the past 6 years has to go for my daughter which I will proudly do but it breaks my heart that it has to be this way.  Four classes left at $67 dollars a credit at 3 credits and I will have my AA in my hands.  One more trip to another doctor and it might be the one who can help her.  I know it is all far fetched but it's all I got and for the first time ever--I am asking for help but I would be more than enough grateful even if it were the thought as well!  Lover Christy

Full time, financially unstable, microbiology student in senior year

Hello.  I am a full time student majoring in microbiology at the University of South Florida.  I have had some health issues in the past couple of months  that have left me financially unable to satisfy monthly bills in their entirety.  With my school schedule I do not have time to commit to a job and keeping my head above water scholastically and financially is a constant struggle.  If I could maintain a stable financial foundation, I could fully reach my potential as a student and hopefully give a higher quality contribution to the science community upon my graduation.
