Hello, I am a wife to a retired NYC police officer.  We mover to NC a year ago and purchased a home.  We used all of our monies to do this the problem is with the IRS this put us in a different tax area and we owe them now over 21,000 dollars.   We have paid 13,000 already be using equity in the home and our credit card and even getting jobs but we can't get out of the hole. If anyone can please help just with the taxes to clear that and hopefully we can get back on our feet. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Does your mother-in-law receives social security or some type retirement pension?  At her age, she should be entitled to something.  If she is not, be sure to have her to apply.  That way she can help with the mortgage.

Best wishes

My husband will be 60 years old and has worked hard to raise our children.  We have 3 sons.  They are young and in college and one is married and just had a baby.  They are not in a position to help us financially.  Milan, my husband must have bunion surgery.  I know this sounds stupid, but he's a machinist and he's on his feet all day.  The recovery time for this surgery is 9-11 weeks.  We cannot afford his taking this time off.  We will be having a very difficult time.  Does anyone know of something we can do that will help?  I don't want to get behind on our payments.  I work full time also, so it isn't like I just need to go get a job.  I have a job.  On top of this, we take care of my mother in law, who lives with us.  She is 86.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.  I know we can save on food through Angelfoodministries. I need help with our mortgage payments.

PLEASE HELP

I am a single mother of a teenager and until recently never had trouble finding a job. Last year I was scammed by an online scam from London and Nigeria. I lost $1500 and went to jail for the checks they sent me. Now I am a felon and no one will hire me. I am quickly becoming depressed and am soon to be without electric and possibly a home. If anyone out there can help me, please let me know.

God Bless you and Keep You

I am writing because Christmas is fast approaching and I am trying to do for my grandbabies because the daddy is a crack head and the mom is in prison. I am trying to raise them the best I can. I have five grandbabies and I am disabled. I thought maybe 500.00 to 1000.00 would do it. If anyone can help please let me know God Bless.

You are correct,there are many programs for food . Have you ever tried to get food stamps? IT IS A FULLTIME JOB!!!! The only places to get help with food is the local churchs,however these places are overwhelmed. So for someone to come on this site and second guess someones credibility is cruel, walk a mile in someone elses shoes my friend. Investigate how bad it really is for some of these people, sure you will find people who take advantage, BUT DO YOU THROW THE BABY OUT WITH THE BATH WATER? There are people out there that need help, often they have to much pride to ask for help, so comments like this could make those in need not speak up, be kind open your heart a bit. It may get steped on by some,but if you help someone who needs it YOU will be uplifted and the person you help will be uplifted. I hope we can all can see thru the veil of doubt and help, those in need. Love your neighbor treat him as you would have others treat you. thank you Geir

I almost walked away from this site myself just now from the last post I read. but I am going to swallow my pride and tell you whats going on with my family.

Just a little background: I (back in the year 1999) was liveing in a barn doing my art work (metal art) had no responsability no cares for want. Then I met this incredible girl she had a heart of gold, she just rocked my world.

We became a fast couple and she got pregnant this upset my whole world . I never knew my father until 6 months before he died so I was not going to let this happen to my children.

I knuckled down got a job kicked some butt and found myself here,owning my own home  doing pretty well. Sure it's been a strugle at times but i have a 7 and 5 year old boys and an incredible woman to keep my spirits up. We came close to losing our home a couple of times, but my family was able to bail us out and did so willingly (Bless them). I am very good at what I do and I am proud of this.

On august 19th i injured my right hand, I went to the doctor he said it's not broken rest it and you will be fine well it wasn't fine a month later I went to a specialist and the tune was different.

I have severe sprang it could take up to 6 months to heal. Now here's the deal I'm the bread winner I make good money now i am unable to do the work that makes me this money that I need to pay for our modest lifestyle. I have been looking for work to fill the void and taken a couple of jobs only to reinjure myself.

So here I am 4 months behind in just about everything, my family is unable to help and we are selling everything we can to make ends meet, what I have to sell is the tools I need for my work, so sell them and feed the family? yup thats O.K. I can always get that back when I'm better.

I have a very positive attitude and KNOW some how this to shall pass. we are in forclosure but have a hud approved non-profit helping us. We are preparing for the worst but are hopefull that things will work out.

Is ther anyone out there who can offer insight,links to programs,anything to help us from losing our home?

Thank you so much for all of those who do the right thing

Much love Geir (Tobies not so better half)

You know i see all these people on here asking for money for food. I think that are just a lot of people looking to scam money. THE GOVERNMENT HAS A FOOD STAMP PROGRAM. And just about any church will give the needy food.

Hello. This message is for any dentists or dentists-to-be who can fix my 62-year-old father's continual tooth problems. Either you are still in the developing stages and looking for someone to practice on (and thus charge little or no fee), or you are an extremely altruistic professional dentist. Whatever the case, your help would be unspeakably valuable. My dad is a kind, gentle, and much loved man. He is also poor. He cannot afford to get his teeth properly fixed, and he suffers from regularly recurring tooth aches that debilitate him, keeping him up all night sucking ice to numb the pain. The fact that he cannot eat adequately or even chew his food properly is starting to affect his health as well. His pain has forced him to take too many sick days, and thus lose the income that is so necessary for him to pay off debt. Since 90% of his paycheck goes toward the debt consolidators every month, and the rest toward the cost of living, he cannot save any money, let alone afford any kind of health or dental insurance. The worst part, in his words, is that he cannot give to others or to his church. His own burden is too great. If you live in or near the Los Angeles area, and are interested in helping restore my dad's teeth, please let me know. As strange as this may sound, by improving his mouth, you would greatly help improve his life and his joy. Thank you!

Loan me $4000, I'll pay you $4800. OK, here's the deal. I have fallen behind on bills due to a custody disupute. I do alright as far as income but my credit is not up to par (due to the same circumstances). If I can get everything paid to date then I will be fine because my income will allow me to start paying the minimums (or a little more). What I offer is this. If anyone will loan me $4000 by October 1, I will pay them back $4800 in weekly installments of $400 beginning on October 13. That's 12 installments of $400 each. I am willing to put this in writing and have the note notarized. I am located near Chicago. Please let me know.

I need help for my 20 year old daughter. She is such a good person; and really pretty. Her problem is her teeth. She was born with dental problems. I got some help from the government, but when I landed a decent job, they cut her dental work off. I was injured on the job and am scheduled for surgery. The point is, some of my daughters teeth never came in. And the teeth she has have almost no enamel on them. She needs dentures. It will cost about $2000.oo for this procedure. Is anyone out there that can help her out?

trying to find a dentist who is willing to work any any way to help me get my teeth fixed, it is to the point where I am in constant pain for about 7 months now. I am a 32 year old single father of an awesome little 10 year old bossy girl. I just can't afford to do anything beyond supporting us right now. I'm not asking for a handout… maybe a dentist who will take payments of $100 a month with $400 down. Thanks for taking the time to hear me babble for a while… Good luck everyone in everything… if anyone needs Graphic Design services or Digital Pre-press… I'm free for PT work…

Hello, my name is Allison and I live in New Orleans. I am writing because I am in desperate need of financial assistance!!! I have a 2 year old little boy and we are flat broke!! I am a student at delgado community college and I also work. I was layed off from my other job about 2 months ago and its been really hard to find a replacement job. Right now my rent is past due and I am facing eviction. I also have a car payment that is 2 months past due. I really don't know what to do. I have tried to get assistance from the state but no one seems to want to help me or I don't qualify for assistance. I am a really hard worker and will repay any one that is willing to give me a little help. PLEASE HELP ME AND MY SON!!! We need about 1500.00 to get back on track. New Orleans isn't the same city after the storm. There just aren't as many resources out there to help people in my situation. I really appreciate anyone who takes the time to read what I am typing. If there is anyone out there that can assist me it would be greatly appreciated. I will pay back anything that get lent to me in a timely fashion. Thanks for your time!!

Hello All, Nice to meet you. I am Noora. I am 46 years old. I and my husband need so much dental work done, but we don't have the money, can you believe we have a dental plain, and still can't have our teeth fixed? I am disabled and I only receive 666. a month. That pays our rent. My husband works, but he only gets paid every two weeks, not to mention he only gets &8.15. an hour. Its not easy, we also try to help our family when we can. For the last year my husband has been in the ER and to his doctor because he, for some reason always has fluid in his lungs, and he is always in pain. I worry so much for him. It scars me to think it could be something bad wrong with my love. I have Fibormyalgia. I stay in pain too. I feel bad asking for help, but I don't know what to do. My dream is to have beautiful teeth, and to be able to smile at everyone I meet. I don't let anyone see my teeth, so I don't have any friends, or go around anyone much. I never smile because I don't want anyone to see my teeth. I have sever depression, anxiety, and panic attacks. I stay home most of the time. I know their are a lot of others that need help as well, and I hope someone out there can help. Its not easy when all you do is worry about one thing or another. My Mother and Father live 6 hours away from me. I miss them so much. They have a hard time as well, so when I can I send money to them, they come before my teeth. My husband's family has is hard too, we help them when we can too. Please if there is anyone who can help, it would be a prayer and a dream come true. Thank you Noora :)

My name is Adam Bryan. The reason I am writing today is my family and I are in need of help. You see, I have Acute Bi-Polar disorder and am unable to hold down a job. I try VERY hard, but something always happens. I have been out on unpaid medical leave for about a month now. My bills are to many to list, and we are about to lose our house. I have been praying for a miracle lately, and today I ran across your information (googled 'in need of help'.) In reading about you and your organization, a shred of hope has filled my soul. I have no where left to turn, and am feeling hopless at the moment. I did not ask for this disease! Sometimes I wonder why God allows stuff like this. I realize I am a spec in his master plan, and am trying my best to believe that I am going through this turmoil for a reason. But it is hard to maintain any hope when you are watching your life come apart at the seems and there is nothing in my power that I can do about it. If you know of any organizations that can help us, please forward the information to me. Additionaly, if you wish to speak with me over the telephone my contact information is listed below. Thank you! Adam Bryan

I have applied for resources in my local area, but they don't help with daycare if you want to attend school. I not asking for anyone to support us. I just need a helpful boost.

Hello world My story is like so many others, and now i find myself asking for help which is a strange thing for me to do. I have so much love for my darling daughter who is 16 years of age who has endured so much with me over the last 3 years and for what we have gone through im proud of her she currently has OCD and depression with her worrying about what is going 2 happen next she has sleeping problems and she has lost so much weight and doesnt act like her self anymore , After a very messy marriage and divorce and her best friend died by getting hit by a car.I found myself unemployed,ill and homeless. We secured another home but my rent leaves us with barely enough even for food at times.I work but am attending hospital several days a month and i dont get paid down time. Finding the mioney to pay to exist each week is getting harder . I have debt collectors chasing me everyday.I helped out teenagers who were runaways financially and they stole from us what little we had managed to bulid.Even stealing my girls IPOD heartbreaking to think people can prey on those with good hearts. I am ill and will need chemotherapy soon and wont be able to work much longer. I have a wonderful man who is disabled and living in another city.We desperatley want to be together but find we cant afford to move closer to each other.After a great deal of soul searching i now reach out for help please help us clear our debts and rebulid with hope that we can be togther to help each other. I have never not helped someone but i cant understand how those people could not help us. i currently had to sell our tv to get the internet connected and all our furniture is hard rubbish because we cant afford to buy what we really need and due from collecting the furniture we are now being fined , i also lost my car due to me having a car accident and now i have recurring back problems,the one thing my daughter wants is a dog becuase we lost our family pet from the nasty divorce and ever since then we are un able to get a pet becuase we are renting and we cant afford to buy her one , i also find myself being unable to pay for a course my daughter wants to do, its her dream to become a professional pet groomer but we cant afford to pay for the course she desperately wants to do.Asking for help is illegal in our country but we see no other alternative, Several months ago a news paper article was run on our plight not even one offer of assistance was recived , we were humiliated by the article it only allowed the debt collecters to track us down even faster, so please anyone with a good heart and soul please help us , by making the choice to live we left a dangerous situation and people make choices we chose to live we didnt choose to lose everything it was just a continuation of a vindictive evil man making us pay for wanting better for ourselves. God bless you all and know that i will pay it forward any help we receive . please make contact via email: bullet4us@msn.com thank you for taking the time to read my story of heartache

I have to tell you that you are wrong about the government grants being a "scam" - if for no other reason than seeing all the news reports about people using grant programs fraudently. As much as "your eyes hurt" that still doesn't change the fact that the government grant programs that are from the government are on the government's own website. Since it is the taxpayers' money that is paying for these grant programs the government has to make the information about their grant programs "accessible to the public" - so either you are not looking right or you have found some of the government grant programs but the information about them may be too confusing for you. Take a look at my grant basics page and you will see a LOAD of different grant programs that are out there and different examples of people who have gotten them! As far as starting your own business is concerned, I have had a lot of people email me saying that they want to start a business of their own - a lot of them want to start their own daycare business - and I tell them that at the top of my grants page are two programs that I mention - one for $20,000 and another for $100,000 - both open to those that want to start their own business and the only reason that I know about THOSE grant programs is because I took the time to look for them! As far as free webpages are concerned all you have to do is find one of the free webhosting sites that are online. I have mentioned many times about blogging and how one can have their own free blog. It does not necessarily "take money to make money" - it all depends on the type of business that you want to start and whether or not you are willing to put in the time and effort that is necessary to make your business a success. You can't honestly think that everyone that started their own business started off with a lot of money.

Is there any grants (no gov.they are scams)for education. I have searched till my eyes hurt.

I would like to start my own buis. I would like a web page that even cost. anymore it takes money to make money, and when you don't have it then what- I wish I could help all of you- the only way I can think of is prayer all I have to offer

Hi, i dont really know how this works, but this is the last thing i can think of. I have 2 kids and a husband. Im the only one thats working right now and its only a minimum wage job, my boss wont seem to give me a raise. My husband was out of work for 2 years and everyday was trying to find a job, he was lucky enough to find one, but after a week they called and said they were heading in a different direction and didnt need him no more. We havent been able to pay the mortgage in over 5 months and everyday were getting calls asking for money, which i dont seem to have. Were going to have to get out of this house within 3 months, and there is no where else we can go. My kids are always crying cause they know whats gonna happen to us and it breaks my heart to see that. Our car was suppose to get taken away but luckly we got to keep it, but i dont know how much longer well have it. Im not asking for much, but if you can help, it would be greatly appriciated. My heart goes out to you all!

I am trusting that the Lord will bless our family with the funds we need to keep our house. We are in a two year lease program for our home. Coming up on the 20th of Aug.will be the first year we have lived here. On that date we are required to apply an additional $5000 towards the purchase of our home in 2008. Unfortunately in Oct. 2006 I broke my back and was in a job that took so much time emotionally from me that it took time away from my son and husband. My husband and I prayed about it and decided that along with the physical pain from the broken back, the family was suffering as well because I wasn't home to do what I needed and wanted to do...take care of them. My husband is the hardest worker and is in insurance. But the past year has been hard for the business and he does more jobs in his office besides being an agent. The funds just aren't there. We love this house, have bad credit and owe on our taxes. I hate the fact that this sounds like a whoa as me ad, with everyone else who is suffering, but if there is anyone willing to bless us AFTER PRAYERFULLY considering it we would be blessed and honored. We are active in our church and have had times where we have been able to bless others, our church has helped us a great deal financially however now I feel led to ask abroad. Any amount would be a blessing. Thank you and I know that for everyone here this applies - Phil 4:19 And my God will meet all YOURS/MY needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus. I will be praying for all the others who are in need....God will provide...He always does.

Hello. My name is Amanda. I am a single mother to a soon to be 7 year old brilliant little girl. Recently we were kicked out of the place we called home for nearly 2 years in Portland, in a community surrounded by friends and a great support system. Unfortunately we were on a month to month lease and when the landlady wanted to move her son in, we had to move out. I had no money for the outrageous move-in costs of an apartment and so we are temporarily staying with a friend in Eugene, until September, then we will have no where to go. My daughter misses her friends and hates where we live because of the horrible insect infestation. I haven't been able to find a steady job here other than two bi-monthly cleaning gigs for $60 a piece. We do receive food stamps and Isabelle is on Medicaid, and her father sends $400 a month, but we have to pay $300 to stay here and I have a car payment and insurance and there is just no way I'm going to save enough money to get a place come September!! I know there are so many people out there in need, but if anyone here can do anything to help us find a home, I would be so, SO very grateful!! I don't know what else we can do! I can not let my daughter live on the streets and I have no one else I can turn to. Thank you so much for your time.

I can pay the xtra a month, but I cant come up with the down payment of 1100. What do I do? She is so pretty, but her self esteem is so low cuz of her teeth. I feel like I have let her down. I wish I could get the money, but I live paycheck to paycheck, and I dont know what to do. Please help?

My mother and I were in a car accident three years ago. A truck pulled out in front of us when we had the right away. It has gone to court but with Florida being a no fault state we were out of luck. My mother needs to have three different surguries in which she has been living in pain for the past three years. But with no insurance and with losing the case, she has an outrageous amount of doctor expenses. She has lost her business and my husband and I live in her condo to help with financial expenses. Due to the fact that she has outstanding medical bills she is unable to see her previous doctors and new doctors will not take her as well. She is also unable to get welfare or disability because she still owns her home in which my husband and I live in. If there is anyone that can help her or even give us some advice on what to do please let me know. I can not imagine living in pain for three years and having everything taken from you because of one day in your life someone happens to ruin the rest of it for you. I can not stand to see my mothr so miserable financially and physically someone please help us.
