Hello everyone.  Well, here is my story... I got divorced 3 years ago.  I used to have my Real Estate License and had to put it inactive because I needed a stable salary to provide for my 3 kids and be able to pay for rent and utilities.  Gladly I found a job right away.  I worked as a Circulation Manager for the local news paper.  Little did I know that the job hours were from 3 am till whatever time I was needed there, sometimes delivering the paper at the wee hours of the night myself door to door.  Nevertheless, it was a job, and it provided me with enough money to live month to month.  Sadly I lost the job.  Then I spent the last year looking for another one but I came to find that at least in this town, no degree means no job.  Well, lets be honest, I can work anywhere but not only I have great skill as administrative assistant, but also, being paid the minimum wage does not add up to include a baby sitter payment for me.  So I decided I needed to pursue a career, and fast!

So I did.  I enrolled to the University of Phoenix online, and by the end of this year (2007) I would have finished my Associates Degree in Criminal Justice. 

I have done so many things while.  I am giving therapy to kids with disabilities as a volunteer, I have give folklorico dance clases as a volunteer also, and enjoy helping people around in general.  You could say I am a good girl.

I just can't wait anymore to finish my school.  I am already behind on my rent, I am 2 months behind on my car payment, I have no money for anything, specially to at least take my kids to the movies!  So its pretty sad.  I had come up with a plan already, I talked to a Real Estate Broker (Exit Realty) to sponsor me so I can get my Real Estate License back.  He kindly accepted, so I had already finished the only class I needed to renew it, but I still have to take the test again.  The Broker at Exit Realty is paying for all the I need until I pass my test, class, renewal fee, exams etx.  So far it looks great. 

I am just going crazy not knowing what to do for money to provide to my little family while I sell my first house!!

I really need a helping hand.  I have 3 kids, two of them are special kids, one is Bipolar and the other one is Obsesive Compulsive (The third one is doing great, no problems) so you must understand why is so hard to go thru this fear of not knowing if I will be able to get back on track.  I am afraid they will evict me from my apartment because I am so behind, I am afraid they will take away my car because is the only one I have to take my kids to school. 

The other part that is driving me crazy is that I got a traffic ticket 2 years ago (driving at 4 am in the morning is not the best time to drive) and I could not pay it so it became a warrant.  Then I got stopped because a light on my car was not working (did not even noticed) and since I had a warrant already I was affraid to show my drivers license, so there you go, another ticket, this time for no stop light, and no drivers license.  Again, I could not pay or go to court for the same reason (I had a warrant) I was affraid, so I got another warrant, and the got my license revoked.  The good news is that I was able to gather some money and pay my warrants.  The bad news is that now I have to come up with money (lots) to pay the fines to get my drivers license back.  (bummer).

You might ask, So where is the father??  Well, the father is very near, but he already has another BIG family to support.  At my divorce I was stuppid enough to accept 400 a month for Child Support, and that is all I get.  Later I found that my ex husband is making about 70,000 a year, and he is suppoused to give me about 1200 a month for Child support.  So I went to the authorities, the Attorney General and guess what?  They said they had to respect the divorce decree, and I was stuck with only 400 a month, not only that, but they also made my ex pay for insurance for the kids, and now he is paying 400 for that insurance that nobody uses!!  I am so frustrated!!

I just want to be able to provide for my kids.  I just need one break, just one.  It has been down hill for the past 3 years and I just don't see when is this going to end....

I want to be able to pay my rent, to pay my car, to take my kids shoping for some new shoes, to take them to the amusement park, to take them on their first flight.  I know the nice things will come as soon as I start working in Real Estate, I know they will get better when I get my degree.  But now, I just want to get back on track, I want to be able to drive and not be afraid of the police stoping me and finding my license is not active, I want to be able to come home not afraid I will find my self lock out for not paying the apartment, I want to be able to know that my car will be there tomorrow to take my kids to school.

Its just getting so hard and I sometimes think that I just cant do it anymore...

God, please help me!  The sea is so big and my boat is so little.....

Thank you for reading my lines...

I am a single dad raising my 14 year old daughter.  I am working only part-time because the company I worked for for the last 10 years downsized and left me unemployed.  In addition, I am a full-time student majoring in Computer Science, Information Technology and Web Development.  I am asking if someone could help me with my school funds so I can continue my education and raise my child in a good school.

It is very hard and I am doing my best that I can possibly do.  However, my daughter goes to private school because I don't like the way the educational system is in Philadelphia.  I am trying to raise money for my next year, so that I can receive my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science.  Currently, I have maintained a 3.7 gpa and have made Dean's List 4 semesters straight.  I will pay back the money with interest after graduation. 

I am being very honest and wish everyone the best in their future endeavors and for helping me out with anything they can donate to my cause.

Hi everyone!!!  I am married to a US Marine and am a mother of 3.  I recently took on 2 nephews.  They were in much more need at the time.  Now we are all in need.  My husband is in Iraq fighting for our country.  I work a full-time job and a mother and aunt full-time as well.  Anyhow, we have been on the base housing list for more than a year now only to find out that they had us on the wrong list. So, it will be longer now to get in.   In this year of waiting, we have struggled left and right to make ends meet and try to provide food and power in our home for the kids.  We have only lived here in California for a year and have had the worst luck.  We thought that we would be getting our full allowance only to find out they give you a % of the allowance.  Anyhow we wanted to be able to send our kids to a better school and enjoy a safer environment.  So, we moved to a nicer neighborhood.  Only we have not paid any bills on time we are way behind and are about to get them turned off.  Our rent is now 20 days past due and we will not have enough on the 1st to pay anything again.  We are digging a whole and it keeps getting deeper.  We have applied for many loans and turned down wach time because we have too much debt to ratio.  Our credit cards are very much behind and we are about to get evicted soon.  I don't know what else to do.  We barely have any food in the house.  We have barely been hanging on to our cell so we can talk to my husband.  Thank go for the $dollar store calling card.  School is about to start we have no money for school clothes or supplies.  To be honest I don't even know if we will have a roof over our head before school starts.  All we need is enough money to get ahead and stay ahead.  We were not even trying to look for a hand out we were willing to pay back the loans.  No one seems to want to give us this chance.  I went to the Dr yesterday to find out this is what is making my Asthma really bad, my blood pressure worse and have now missed 3 days of work that I can not afford to do.  They will not let me work under these conditions until the Dr realeases me.  Please if anyone can help us get ahead please help us.  Forever Thankful.  God Bless!

Hello everyone!

     Thank you for letting me become a member.  A little about myself.  I am 36 yrs. old. A single mother w/two kids ages 13&15.  I didn't get to finish High School and regret it now, but I did go back to get my G.E.D.  I was momentarly lost due to a bad relationship, that is no longer, thank God!  But other than that We(family) are doing fine.  Just would like help to find resources of any kind that would be beneficial without having to worry about being scamned for money.  I am also a healthcare professional and also currently a full time student (MCBT).  I guess I have endless dreams that I hope one day will flourish.  Anyway, that is a little something that I want to share with the rest of you about my life.
