About strong mother of two

   Hello, I am a mother of two boy 4 and 5.  I am from california.  I have a job that barely makes my bills and i go to school so one day i will be a psychologist and help all the people i possible can.  I have a dream for my family to get a home for my children.  I dont make enough to get a home loan. I wish i could get a secound job but their is no childcare open 24/7.  I have a child in speach therapy he had a delay in speach now he is stuttering. My secound child has sevire behavioral problems and is in a special needs program. Just the other day he cut his teacher.  he also throws big tempertantrums i mean throwing things breaking windows hitting bitting people out of control.  One teacher told me i need to medicate him he is out of control this offended me.  I dont want my child on chemicals i would perfer to use natural things like teas or herbs.  i would rather him find a way to deal with his anger some coping mechanism.  I am not so quick to medicate my thought is if one day he stops taking the medicin on his own when he gets older he is going to have to deal with it than so why not learn it while he is young.  i do get stressed i do cry but i deal with it because i know it will be for the best when he grows and learns how to deal with his emotions on his own appropriatly.  The father of  my boys got deported and he wants me to move to mexico and live their.  though i have much love for him i have so many oppertunities for my babies hear i cant do that to them.  I try to explain how tough i have it over hear its going to be that much tougher for us over their.  i struggle everyday but i do this for my boys they saved my life really?  I have a bad past before i was a mother i was doing drugs and stupid irresponsable things.  it is embarassing and nobudy knows about my past exept my family of course.  i have been off of drugs when i found out i was pregnant and have been clean ever sence.  i grew up in a home of drinking and drugs abuse mulestations rapes. my dad beat me with things and left me alone with his friend to rape me than told me it was my fault that i wanted it.  i was 13 he was 3o something who wants that?  I know i am getting a bit personal and that is why i am anonymous.  i cant hold it in anymore it hurts. i get flashbacks of everything that has ever happened to me.  it wont leave my head i relive it... as i was saying though my boys test me and push me but they saved my life would i still be off drugs if i didnt have kids probobly no i would still be using but i just couldnt do to my children what my dad has done to me i didnt have the heart to do that to them they dont deserve that.. they deserve a chance to live the best life i in my power can give them.  They gave me my dreams they gave me my goals. ha they even give me my stress.  out side i try to put out this "i am so strong" effect.  though inside i feel week.  i have a dream to give my children a home a home of our own being 25 with two kids i believe i should have this but i feel it is to out of reach.  i dont make enough money for a loan i wanted t get a mobile home their cheeper than regular homes.  i work so hard but still dont have much.  i will go so long without anything new for myself just to give to my children.  i want to cry i feel like giving up right now.  but tomorrow ill wake up get up for work and do another day.  using again is not an option not to say i dont struugle with my own mind but i just cant i might as well die first before i use drugs again i would loose everthing i work so hard for every single day.  you might read this and think WOW way to much information can you believe thie crazy nut... i tell you though i dont like to ask for help i am so stubern it would take away from the fake i am so strong attitude i give, right?  i am not strong  i need help and i dont know what to do i am scared i am lonely and i hurt i am everthing i pretend not to be. this is not a joke this is not a fake this is someone who doesnt know how to get herself out of this hole of being poor god if i could only get a home of my own. i ahd an appartment once but they kept raising the rent a one bedroom appt small infested 1000$ a month. out on our own though i had much better self esteem i was so proud of myself how ashamed i was when i had to move into my grandmothers house with my mother.  well i guess i will i have typed enough of my life story im sure... right?  sorry for rambling on..... thank you!

I am a single mother of a six month old son.  I live in CT and had been laid off work for a few months because the doctor I worked for passed away.  Shortly after my step father passed.  I am now working but only part time.  I'm making less money working than not but I can't not work.  Daycare is draining my account and I am patiently waiting to hear from state aid.  I need help paying for the day to day things as my paycheck goes to gas and daycare.

About mercale

*deep breath* Okay, I'm embarassed to post anything, and we'll continue to try and work something out, but at the moment I don't know what else to do.

We are a family of 8 with six elementary aged children. I am not able to work with the kids school schedules (several attend only half day so I have only about 2 1/2 hours between school runs), daycare costs, and my ability to earn to cover the cost for all 6 kids daycare. We exist on some child support and a factory worker's pay. Generally, we rely on my hubbys over time to cover our bills, and with the downturn in the automotive industry, and company cutbacks, he has not been able to get much overtime the last year and a half or so... I do some simple freelance webdesign when I can find the work, and I have begun doing freelance writing on the side (which I much prefer)  but at payouts like $1.50 to $5 accruing cash is no simple feat, and as I just started I am not eligible for any pay outs until after Christmas anyway.

Most years, we pay for Christmas by taking out a Holiday Helper loan at our bank. This year, just a few short weeks from Christmas, our loan was denied for the first time in 4 years. The loan is generally in the amount of $2500, and the bank deducts that amount from our bank account over the course of the year, so it's paid off by next Christmas. This year, we have fallen a few more weeks behind on our mortgage due to one thing or another, putting us at a very solid two months behind.The bank has cited that, plus stricter requirements for issuing loans as our reason for denial.

At the moment, while I'm really trying, I see literally no way to give these kids a Christmas. All of our family members are struggling too, and in fact, they have come to us often in the last few years when they needed a roof for a few months, or food to eat - so they are in no position to help.

I guess I don't really know what else to say or do. This is my story.

About charlieBROWN

Your probably gonna think I am crazy, but I kid around about needing donations to my friends and family, but down deep inside I really do. It all started about 4 months ago, everything seemed to be goign great, paying everything,living pay check to pay check as most families do. Then bam it hit, my daughter went off to college, she was working and paying for her car and cell phone bill, then when she moved to Houston, she had to wait 2 weeks before she would even leave campus to try to find a job. Well no luck everyday, but who wants to really work around a college schedule? So no luck and then Ike hit, yes that wonderful storm that really messed up Galveston and Houston area. So for sure there was no jobs now. So to get to my point, we have been trying so hard to keep eveything paid, but for some reason, we just seem to have rocks tied to our feet. I dont want to go to the welfare office, they will tell me I make to much, and well I know better, I have seen what I make compared to what I pay. So I am really really serious about donations. I do not want to tell my daughter she has to quit school, she has dreamed about this for so long. AND I know if we could jsut get completely caught up, and once I start my part time job to go with my full time job and my weekend baby sitting job, I could do it... SO, donations are welcome

I need your help

Grant funds to a good cause. I want to get started in the business world. If there is someone out there who is reading this and willing to help, I would appreciate it. I am an inventor. The patent is pending. I just need help along the way. I have two daughters who are 9 and 5 years old. I want the best for them. I have tried internet businesses, but because I am disabled, I need help with expenses and getting started in what I want to do, which is being a successful inventor and being able to take care of my children myself. I want a home that I can own. My income at this time is not enough to pay for all of my expenses in order for self-growth I know that there are corporations who give out grants, so if you are reading this I hope that you will send funding to my PayPal account it is 55jklm@earthlink.net

Im Trying... but... its diffrent out here.

Hi, My name is Connie. I am 25 and am trying to make it. If this is really a way to ask for a bit of help then what have I got to lose.
I was an escort for a while and felt finnacially independent.... I have a son and just found out that i have another one on the way. I wanted to do the right thing, and not endanger my new little one and try and do something positive. So i quit escorting and am currently trying to find a job. Its not going too well. I don't want to go back to escorting. Im not giving up, but dammit the bills are pileing up!!! I have asked my neice to take my son for the school year so he can be in a stable place because right now i do not know whats going to happen!!! I want to go back to school! I want a chance!! If anyone can help, I would appreciate it. I am currently 2 months behind in rent. That is 1350. I have kept the utilities up, but my account is almost drained. You learn in these times that no matter how many people you helped out when you could, there not there when you need it.
I hope theres something out there. But if all i get is a prayer, then thats fine with me.

God bless,
Connie

I just turned 40 and i feel 80. My first husband of 10 years was tragbically run over by a semi-truck while at work in 1997 and we had a son together.  then in 1999 i met another gentleman who then "premeated murder and sucide" the same date, day and hour he shot me twice in my chest and left me for dead then turned the same gun on himself. ( this was done in front of our 3 year old daughgter. i since then am having problems getting the first foot forward. any assistance would help. i am not one to ask for help but it is the first step in recovery. thank you and may god bless........peace   stephanie, billy and savannah
