Hi, my name is Diana, I am the mother of a 7yr old boy and a 6yr old girl. This has been a hard year for many people. My family has had a rough year also. I have always done my best to provide for my family. Last year I was a manager in a fast food restaurant, not the best income in the world but it paid the bills. I decided to go back to school and try and get a degree so that I could give my kids a better life. Working 50+ hours a week, taking care of the children, and going to school proved to be too much. I went over my finances and figured out that with the help of my financial aid for school I could take a job as a waitress, meaning alot less hours and more time for my kids and school. Shortly after I switched jobs my financial aid fell through, leaving me unable to pay my bills. I lost my home and had to move. Now I am only getting 15 to 20 hours a week at my job. I am about 2 months behind on my rent, I have been giving my landlord as much as I can here and there, but I am terrified that their patients and understanding is going to run out soon, and my children and I will have to live in my car. I have signed up for the salvation army so that my children can atleast get something for Christmas. I would appreciate any ideas or assistance anyone can give me for keeping my home and giving my children a nice Christmas. Thank You, and God Bless

I looked at your profile page and your blog page and I can't find where you are offering any assistance or asking for some. It may be on this end. Is there anything that we can do for you?
My name is Sarah and I live in Central Illinois. I have a wonderful husband and a 15 year old stepson and a 2 year old son. We have really been experiencing some financial difficulties and are praying for someone to help us out in our time of need.
My husband is a jeweler - he sits at a jewelry bench all day and creates beautiful pieces of jewelry - his work is absolutely amazing. He was with the same company for 15 years and unfortunately, the management mispent company funds and the company ended up going bankrupt and closing. At the same time, I was in a wonderful position - fresh out of college, and making fairly good money at this position. Unfortunately, the position I took was a newly created position and when the cutbacks began - it was last hired, first let go.
I was let go when I was seven months pregnant. This was a planned pregnancy, at the time we both had good jobs, started a savings, and felt financially and emotionally ready to have a child. When we both got laid off - we had to come up with the funds to pay for COBRA insurance monthly (which was over $1000) in order for my pregnancy to remain covered.
Thus, our bills got behind, things got turned over to collection and my student loans went into default. Our family could offer no help or support. I went back to work 4 weeks after I had my baby and put my son in daycare. Unfortunately, my son couldn't handle daycare. He was premie (so we had those hospital bills) and constantly got sick. With no family around - we had to try to split days and alternate days both of us could stay home with our son when he got sick - which was about every week.
Because I was missing so much work to take care of my sick son - I was let go. I have the hospital calling 50 times a day wanting their money (the bill is over $20,000), creditors calling - you know the drill. We approached a lawyer about bankruptcy - but then we risk losing our home which would be absolutely to this family. We have tried so hard over the years to do right in our lives, to be honest, and kind and work hard and have just hit a roadblock so big we don't know what to to.
We are praying and looking for a miracle right now. The credit market is not lending money, our family can't provide a loan and we just don't know what to do.
My email address is sarahjohnson@millikin.edu (my old college email)

Hi I have a brother who has Cerebral Palsey, I went to court and obtained guardianship of him. I have to somehow get a wheelchair accessable van and do some revamping in my home. Its not just my brother, my father fell and broke his hip, he lives with me and will be coming home soon and I will need a ramp on my house for him as well. My mother fell and broke her ankle and one day, I will be taking care of her to. Now most people dont want to be that responsible for their famly but this is what my heart and my life was meant for. I need a lot of help I know what I need but its the finances that is the problem. Help, Help, Help........

I have a job so I am not expecting to get alot of help. I have just recently gone back to work. I was recovering from a historectomy after finding out I had ovarien cancer. I have just got way behind in bills and have to try to get them caught up before i lose everything. I am a single mom of a 14 year old girl so it has been a little hard but we have been getting by. I really hate to ask for help when so many people need it but I have no choise this year so if anyone can help with a list of places that I could contact. Thank you and God Bless. I am sorry I live in Central Illinois if that helps

I 'm a 25 year-old part-time working young woman. I been look for a full-time job, and anything haven't found one yet. I been trying to find some home based opportunities that can help me out, nothing. I have been recently been evicted from my grandmother's home because we didn't have the money to repair it, so basicly my mother and I are in between finding some where to live for good. I know what you are thinking what is a 25 year-old woman is still doing living with her mother, well, let me start off by saying that I was trying to help my mother, and at the same time help myself out. Well, let me just say it didn't work. So, that is the reason why I'm on here trying to get help. So, if their is anyone out there can help me, please do so. I went to a community college to take up computers, but things in my life start coming down on me all at once I didn't know what to do. I now realize that I don't want to work with computer's and I don't have a back plan, stupid huh, that's what I said to myself every day since my grandmother past away. I rushing to figure out what I want to do, but in the mean time I need a little help getting through this. I been trying to get my head together, but it is hard for me because I have A.D.D and Depression, and something else to that I don't know about, but I'm trying hard get everything in order. So please help me someone, I need help, soon. Thank you.
