I am in need of a van. I am unable to obtain a loan due to a recent bankruptsy filing. I had to file banko due to a divorce a few years ago. I am a father with custody of my two children. My girlfriend is in a similar situation and a mother of one.. We recently found out that we will be the proud parents of twins this winter. We are forming quite the brady bunch here... lol.. We both work, but due to her high risk prego she will have to stop in the next few months..so monney is very tight... Does anyone know where I can turn.. It is very important that I obtain a reliable vehicle to transport my family. Thank you and God Bless..

My name is David, I am a disabled vet from the Iraq war.  I am unemployed trying to work day labor or anything I can get.  I have applied at every store with in 40 miles of my home and no luck.  I have not paid my rent since June 1, 2009 and my land lord said I must catch up or they will have to evict me.  The only reason they have not is that I have 6 children ages 11, 11, 9, 9, 8 and 4.  As long as I can make some sort of payment and do not fall behind anymore they will not evict me.  I have had my electric shut off 2 time in the last 40 days.  My rent is 1400 a month, so I am $4410.00 behind right now.  My disibillity and part of my wifes check will keep us current but I do not know were the other money is comming from.  My sone just came in the door from school upset he failed his vision test at school.  He meeds glasses but he broke his and insurance will not replace them.  Its October 28th and at this moment I can say Christmas is gonna such this year.  I have applied for all forms of aid SSI SSDI TANF ect. and the answer has come back the same no no no no......I find it hard to believe the bull about abusing the system if a family of 8 with a monthy income of  $1984.00 a month before taxes cant get help I dont know who can.  well that is about it  god bless you all.

Please help me make a change that counts!

 

Hello from my name you probably already figured I am a mother. Yes I am a proud mom but ashamed of my financial situation. By me coming online to talk about whats personally going on in my life. It is only for the sake of my family. We never receive the support a family like ours really need. I have a large family that includes 8 kids. I do my best to raise them they are healthy and wonderful. Except I really need help securing their future. It really is hard and everyday is a struggle. Of course we have living expenses but most of all right now we are going through very trying times.

1. We have to move,It is close to the 1st I am not sure what will happen but my Landlord gave me notice. He wants us out. So currently I am working on that I really don't know whats to come. Staying prayerful God will bless us again. The home has to suit our family which means we need a 5-6 bedroom,we don't want to go back to a dangerous area either. I do have section 8 thank God but it doesn't means I will find something.Also moving costs,plus some landlords want Security deposit and rent.  Please read on................................. 

2. We have no vehicle of our own,this affects us the most. I feel shame behind this because here I am a mom,just wwanting the best for the kids and I am like a kid stuck at home. I can't drive my kids to the store,to the school,to the park district e.t.c. Having no vehicle kills the family. I can't begin to count how many times my kids need me to transport them and my excuse is I don't have a car. Poor kiddos they get so heart broken. Not to mention the doctors appointments and grocery shopping. All the errands I need to run for such a wonderful family. But there is no way to fully function without the vehicle. In my life it would change alot! for better. I strongly encourage you to help us with this because it seems like a limited resource. I have tried churches and organizations....they never have answers or they look for a doner,or they leave me out the equation because they have certain charities they work for. As a matter of fact my state isn't too car donation friendly. I say this from research and experience. My family had been let down so many times.

3. You see I want to share with you that I am trying to make ends meet. Using the computer I have a biz that hasn't made one cent as of last I checked. I market the best way I can,my resources are limited.If I had help obtaining regular customers it could produce some income,slow pay but surely. This is another reason I need a vehicle because being trapped to the chair in front of a computer isn't 100% solid.95% of businesses fail online! In order to secure income I need to be able to get out! Also me & my girls want to participate in farmers markets,craft shows e.t.c where we plan to sell things.  I really want to push the idea of entreprenuership,it can release us from poverty.    

4. Our family needs furniture we tried voucher programs they didn't work out too well,I want to secure a bed for each child,we need household products,grooming products,clothing & shoes. Schools coming up in August that will be very stressful. Most churches or organizations offer a food pantry,trust me it doesn't really feed a family of my size and why do they have out dated stuff? not to complain but people shouldn't donate just anything that has been in the cabinet for years. Food isn't the biggest issue althou the lack of convience to get it is.Same as other items I may see on freecycle or craigslist. I have no way to get to them.So you see we are very needy but I must note we have pride and dignity.

Today if there is something you can do that really makes a difference,please don't hesitate. Be assured I write from my heart. I write at times when I don't even know what my next address will be or if I can go online. This is urgent and I really want change.

Helping isn't always about money.I do have a paypal account. If my biggest challanges is moving expense,furniture and definetly the vehicle which we need A.S.A.P. Posibly if I can raise enough I can make some things possible.I will check in regular here and keep you updated. Trust that this is a sincere quest for help. I see so many taking advantage of others that when someone actually needs help people think it's a hoax. I run into scammers and I don't like they come with these check cashing schemes. So please if you have no intention  to be of assistance do not contact me I will report all questionable posts or email. 

THIS IS A request for a HELP OUT NOT A HAND OUT,I would appreciate postivity. My family has been through enough already. I am not posting this to get bashed.

I am sorry for a long post,Thanks for reading,

I am sinking here!!

I thought life was going to get easier here soon. Well.. I thought wrong. Here I am sitting here worring about Christmas for these kids and I find out that my kids no longer have medicaid. I turned in every piece of info they ask for. I took it to the office and let them fax it for me. Nowhere on any piece of paper did they ask for the kidses Birth certs AGAIN. Now I got a letter saying we are cut off all benifits due to noncompliance.I dont have a car now. So far the only thing good thats happened in a while is 2 of my CHICKENS have started laying eggs.I just dont know what to do anymore. My husband lost his job back in April and still cant find a new one. He is trying to loose weight to go back into the military and thats going slow. Our brother in law lived with us and drives a ways to get to work and we just discovered the radial belt on his tire is busted.If he misses work he will be fired. 2 of my kids are A.D.H.D. and on meds for that. My 16 year old is Bipolar and sivearly emotionaly handicaped and on meds for that. My baby that is 2 has asthema and on meds for that. Thank goodness Sidney and my 2 nephews are healthy. I am about to pull my hair out.Rent is due. Electric will be due next week and its a month behind. Andy has lost his unemployment. My phone is shut off. I really can't handle much more.

well i dont know how to begine i guess just doing what im doing, to start my wife Stacey and i have been together for 15 years, we have 6 chrildren, Katrinna is 13,Anastasia is 11, ruby is 10, khanan is 8,Izzabella 5, and Elijah is 2, yes they are all mine! she wanted 10.

 anyways i have been doing Tattoos for 20 yearsits all i know and one thing im good at, but i have morals and i believe Tattooing is something that shouldnt be rushed or thought lightly of, and that is tha problem every body wants to be rich, so i have always ended up quiting the shops i worked at, this last one i helped build the owners said they where christen and wanted a shop that kept its morals, well low and behold when it came right down to it Money is all they where after. so we had a blowing out,  well now ive been out of work for over 4 months and we are being evicted i dont know what to do now, because of our family size no one in my family can help us, 

we tried going to the state, and city but they will not help us i am hanging at the end of my metaphorical rope,  

we have a court date the 20th of this month i know they are going to put us out on the streets, with 6 kids in middle of winter, what kind of system do we live in?

we are lost
