I am a fulltime single father of a wonderful five year old boy. I was laid off from work almost a year ago and even with an intense and non stop search effort i have been unable to obtain employment anywhere. I have never asked for help before and its one of the hardest things i have had to do but my son comes first so if i need to ask for help to make sure there is a roof over his head than thats what i have to do, i am willing to work any job and earn my money any way i can. I am able to make rent its the utilities that i am falling short on, and i'm not even sure how this whole posting thing works or how i will be helped but all i can do is hope and pray for a miracle at this point cause the way its been going thats all i got

Hi.

  Im 20 years old with no parents. So i have no one to help me financially. Recently I found out i need Surgury to remove my gallbladder. Very common procedure but i cant afford it. Im in so much pain. they need 1,200 up front and that is nothing even close to what i have. I tryed doing payments but they wont allow me to. They whole surgury will be like 8,000 but i can do that with payments but i just cant do the 1,200 up front. and thats just for the doctor, i guess i also have to pay fees for the hospital and other things. Im trying to get financial aid on those so hopefully that works. I dont like asking but all i have is the interent. Im trying to get a job but its hard when no one will hire you. If i can get any amount it will help me out a ton! Thank you for reading my story. God bless.

I am a single mother in desparate need of 249.00.  I have until June 4th, 2009 at midnight to pay my rent or I will be evicted by the 22nd.  I have a 6 year old and no family around the area or any family/friends that can help me out at this time due to the economy. I have no where to go and the shelters are full in my area.  I'm recently unemployed looking for work.  Any help would be a blessing.

I live in Portland, Oregon  I am 47 and have a son who is grown with a family of his, and I have to fantastic Grandsons.  I work at a local Hospital as a Medical Assistant and I am trying to get into nursing school.  I have some hobbies camping going to the coast, making Jewelry and quilts.  I love being a medical assistant and have work in a number of different fields but I guess my best job was Pain Management.  Now I am working in Occupational Health and in a sense is dealing with pain and helping working people get back to work.

There is not much more to say, so I will say good-bye for now!

Hello, 

I am a 29 year old woman who desperately wants to go back to school!  I joined the U.S. Army straight out of high school, and after being honorably discharged, I began working in the veterinary field.  I love my job, but I have been doing it now for almost 10 years, and there really isn't any more room for me to move up.  I have my associates in Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice, but I don't see myself working in that field.  Over the last couple of years, I have fiercely wanted to go back to school in order to finish my Bachelors degree.  I have been accepted into a University, however, I am afraid that I will not be able to afford it.  

I work full time and work pay check to pay check.  I haven't been able to save money for it, so I will be relying on scholarships/grants/loans.  A am a 4.0 student that works hard in order to keep that grade!  I am shooting for a Bachelors in Exercise Science, with the hopes of being admitted into the Physical Therapy Doctorate program thereafter.  

I need my life to change!  I am taking control, and am not going to shy away from the difficult things that scare me (such as Chemistry).  I am going to put my head down and plow through this in order to provide for myself and my family better!
