My Sister has a desperate need for glasses and oxygen.

She does not qualify for ssi because she has never worked. She cannot see through her glasses anymore since they are all scratched up & her vision has gotten worse. She has been through so many medical problems, and has a lot of needs, but oxygen is one of her top concerns. Her husband works, & her daughter and granddaughter live with them. Her husband just barely makes enough to cover living expenses and $50.00 a month to the oxygen company. They come out every week at a charge of $80.00 each time. They must owe them a lot of money by now. Her oxygen tank only holds for 4 hrs. so she can't go very far, and it is really heavy. She said they won't change it because they owe so much money already. She needs so much help, but these 2 items are needed the worst. If any one can help, or can even give us information for assistance it would be so appreciated. Thanks in advance, may God always bless you & your family.

I am a 49yr.old female I take care of my Mother who has Alzheimers and Dementia. I desperately need help with dental. My teeth are rotted at the gums and are extremely painful, I do not have any dental insurance.It is so humiliating for my Grandchildren to see me this way. I am not asking for a hand out only some kind of help PLEASE!!I have turned my life around for the better, I used to smoke Meth. But thank God I have been clean 4 years now.That is why my teeth are rotten. I have been so ashamed for so long to ask for help that I did not know where to turn.Can you please help or point me in the right direction?I live in Tunnel Hill,Georgia in NW GA.

I am 43 yrs. old and at my wit's end!  This past year has been tumultuous to say the least.  We lost our home in June to foreclosure.  Then, in November, my 21 yr. old son broke his neck, a week later my Mom had a nervous breakdown, then my Dad became sick at the end of Dec. and just passed away on Jan. 15.  My husband is in construction and has been for 14 years.  He is self-employed and now can't get enough work to make ends meet.  I am a RE agent, have been for 6 yrs., but have not done anything much for the past year.  I am the caregiver of my family, so all of the family crisis situations fall squarely in my lap and have only added to the financial and emotional stress we already had.  I am having trouble asking for help, but at this point I don't know what else to do.  If someone could give me a loan even, I would pay it back in payments.  I just need a few months to get going and find a new form of income.  I did not have a vehicle for the past year as mine broke down and we have not been able to get it fixed.  Since my Dad died, I now have his car and can hopefully find some work.  Any help would be appreciated.  Especially anybody who has a way to make a living online.  I would love to find an opportunity to make a legitimate living online.  Thanks for listening and thanks in advance for any help!

I am a widowed mother of an 8yr old for 4 years now. I clean houses for a living and work very hard to take care of us. I have no family left, they have all passed on. I am now at a point of desperation! I need $40 for electric bill, gas in the car so I can get to work. I live in the Midwest and definitely need my car to get to work. It's old (1997) but it's very reliable. I've worked so hard to maintain and have always shared what I have, now I have no resources left. My church gave me $25 in November to help me out. We definitely live within our means, (no cable, no video games, no eating out, etc). I do laundry once a month and it costs me $20 to wash and dry and I can't even do that this month, because there is no money. I do have food because the local food pantry gives us 2 bags of groceries once a month. I feel as if I'm falling into despair. Any amount would help at this point. I am 45yrs old and never thought I would end up at this point.

DESPERATE FOR HELP!!!  I am a mother of 2 daughters who is swimming in debt right now.  I need help paying mortgage and have mounting medical bills due to my oldest daughter's illness.  My youngest daughter needs over $1000 in dental work as well.  I've racked up all my credit cards just trying to stay current on all my bills.  I work full time but still can't make all my bills.  Any donation you could help me with would be appreciated.  I'm at the point where I don't know how much more of this I can take.  Please help me keep a roof over my kids' heads and food in their stomachs.  Thnak you and may God bless all of you reading this.

I regret getting my tubes tied due to a past abusive relationship. God bless me with a wonderful fiance.Know that we have talk about having a child , it is so expensive to get my tubes reverse. please someone help

Hello everyone! I am a married mother of 3 wonderful children, 2 girls ages 10 and 7, and one precious severely handicapped boy age 15.  We live in a very small town called Dunlap in Tennessee. My husband works a full time job but his pay is not very well and I am a stay at home mother due to the fact that my oldest child is severely handicapped and home schooled. I am needing some assistance for getting a handicapped vehicle for my son. We have a very small car which is the only vehicle we have and need a van to transport our son to and from doctor appointments. I have a very hard time getting him anywhere with the small car we have. I also need some assistance with paying for college classes I am currently enrolled in. I failed 2 classes last semester due to my son having surgery on his spine for Scoliosis. My financial aid refuses to pay for the re-taking of the courses and I am desperate for some help. The cost of the classes are 2142.oo total. If anyone can help us please let me know,we are desperate! Thank you and God Bless!

Someone told me about this site this morning. I am not expecting miracles but it sure would be nice to catch a break for a change. My husband and I have been married 17 years and have three children and a grandchild. My husband was diagnosed with spinal-biffida in 1992 and it has gradually, over the years, gotten much worse. Now, after almost 20 years of being a concrete pump technician, the doctor has taken him out of work permanently. He has applied for disability, but it takes FOREVER to get accepted and in the mean time we have a family to support on one income. I am a paralegal in North Carolina and thank God that keeps us surviving but just barely - $14.00 an hour does not go very far when your trying to support six people. We lost our house and had to move into a HUD apartment that is handicapped accessible - its the most miserable place I have ever lived and we cant do anything about it because its all I can afford - and trust me - just barely affording that. The groceries get more expensive every day, I cant afford minor things anymore that we really need - I cant stand to tell my children that I cant afford things they need for school, they cant go on school outtings, etc. because I just dont have the money. Its so humiliating, I stay awake at night wondering how I am going to get out of this mess since the government seems to be in no rush to help me. I make just dollars over the amounts to qualify for any government assistance (I have no idea how they come up with those numbers- but they are wrong). I am desperate for any suggestions.  

hi my name is dale and i am desperately in need of finanial help. i have aplied for many loans and have either been shuffled around or denied.i need help now , all i am asking for is a small loan that i will be able to pay back weekly. if i don't get help i may loose everything that is important to me. someone please help me !!!!!!!

is there anybody out there that can help a family of 5 including three children ages 7,6,3 either with assistance in helping us stop foreclosure on our home of 8 years or with a job.I am 37 and lost my job back in the spring and while on unemployment have gotten a bad leg injury that prohibits full motion sometimes. I have avoided the doctors in fear it is a torn ACL or something bad and have kept trying to get work and deal with the pain. I cant afford hospitals and the time involved. We are facing foreclosure in February and i am getting real desperate now. Unemployment is covering groceries and utility bills and car but thats it. Mortgage hasnt been paid in 4 months nor have some small credit cards. I dont have huge credit card debt, i am not a loser who blew everything or ran up credit etc.. I was in sales for three years and making $65,000 a year. My wife was and still is stay at home mom because of the cost of daycare it makes sense. We dont qualify for welfare or foodstamps etc.. because of the guidelines and they say my $675 a week from unemployment puts us over the limit. I only gt that for 5 more weeks. My wifes relatives helped her back in the summer buy a small concession trailer and she is trying to make money selling take out food in a town near by but we dont even have the money to fund it properly. We could use anything, the weight and stress is ripping me up, our past mortgage amounts total $10,000, other debts such as electric and credit total about $4500, even a decent job offer, My leg is bad but I can do dispatch or office work or sales, i just cant do the delivery truck thing unless there isnt much getting in and out. Can anyone help? my email is techcareers@msn.com

I am about to be avicted at the end of this week because I could'nt pay October and November rent, and its to cold to sleep in the street.  I am behind $2000 becaue my Ex. which I finally got him arrested and may be locked up for a long time continuasly physically and financially abused me. He stole my money, everyday I would have to hide my wallet with my bank card or change my pin # every week to keep money in my account. I finally had enough when after asking me for money and I said no he pulled a knife and put it to my neck and threatned to cut me up and no one would know. I ran for my life. I slept on a park bench with my dogs till morning and he calmed down, I then went to my cousin where he followed me and threatned me in front of her. I had to call the cops. He is now locked up and I hope for a long time. He killed one of my puppies by throwing it against the wall, this made me feel he could do this to me also so I had to get out. Now I'm here begging for my life. I don't want to get put out with two shitzu dogs in the street. I missed the two months because he stole my October rent ($1000) and said he got robbed & since he left I used November's rent to pay a lock company to change the lock's on the door. PLEASE I'M DESPERATE for help.

Thank You.

Sly. 

I know what you mean, Because I and my family are of english decent and are native to our country we do not qualify for assistance.

My Fiance and I have been together for almost 5 years, Due to be married next year if our situation gets any better. I have been researching grants and alternative loans for a very long time. Alas to no avail, our EX's made sure we would never qualify for anything even resembling a loan. What we are looking for in here is a little bit of Financial help, we have been in the this location for one and a half years. Due to several medical problems and back pain I have been unable to work since March of 2008. We are on the verge of being evicted from our house. We have 3 teenage boys and of course family pets.  She just had Carpel Tunnel surgery last mnonth and is in need of a break so her wrist can heal properly. We have have been working on alternative means of income however due to the everychanging market it's been difficult to be compettitive without help from a profressional advertising company. We are currently $9500.00 in the whole on back rent. We have paid what we can on a irregular basis. However its getting to the point where something deperately needs to be done. We are asking for a 10k grant or loan to ease the suffing as I am just recently entering the work force once again. Please Help

its ashame the government lets people live this way

Please help! I am at my witts end. I honestly don't know where to turn. I keep myself from going crazying by going thru closets and cupboards and giving away all unused items. I found that when you have a garage sale you have people who just try to taalk you down in price so why not give it to some one in need. I sincerely and seriously need fiancial help. I would gladly donate every item I own just to get assistance in getting out of debt. I can't take the mail and phone calls anymore. My anxiety attacks get worst. I am not a meterialistic person and I don't live beyond my means. I just got in financial trouble by helping others who would promise to repay me and never did. I then lost my job and there is no way that we can make it with my husbands income. PLEASE HELP ANYWAY YOU CAN.

PLEASE ..IF ANYONE IS IN ANY POSITION TO HELP OUT I AM IN DIRE NEED.. currently I need about $6,000 just to prevent shut offs and for survival. God Bless.. I just don't know what to do.

If anyone could please help me with $1.00 donation or whatever they can help me with I would sincerely appreciate it. Please help me clear my medical and credit card debt. I went as far as taking money I couldn't afford to use to file a Chapter 11 and that fell thru as I couldn't keep my payments up. I couldn't bring myself to tell my family and from keeping everything to my self wound up in the hospital with extreme anxiety attacks. I have learned to control them thru medication but have trouble taking care of my family due to health reasons. I aamm not trying to get out of paying my debt.. I just can't afford to. I learned the hard way. I reapplied for a chapter 11 they took my money and never did anything about it. I give to others any way I can. I would give anyone the shirt off my back if they needed it. I often help complete strangers and am always giving. I have faith in God and feel blessed for everything I have. I just need to clear up all my bills so that I can enjoy life without bill collectors. PLEASE .. PLEASE .. HELP..HELP ..HELP ..HELP ..HELP me I am so far in debt it is affecting my health. please help! My financial situation is so bad I need one more chance. I take care of my mother and help others all the time. I am not working and my credit card debt and medical bills have gotten so out of control. I have ripped up every card and vow never to use one again but I can't even pay them.. I am afraid to answer the phone because it is constantly a bill collector. I can't help pay daughter's school or anything else. Please help me any way you can. God bless

I am a widow with a 12 year old son who is in need of financial assistance. I have filed bankruptcy and it has been discharged. I have been on my job for 6 years and am barely making ends meet. I am desperate. I have asked for assistance from various organizations only to be told that I'm just above that I make too much money and they can't help us. I need help and am becoming desperate.
