Dear Strongmom Have you tried food banks in your area or Catholic Charities or the Salvation Army or United Way? I also just came across a website called www.Ineedfinancialhelp.com. I haven't tried it but maybe you could check it out. I've been where you are and know what you're going through. I had no income for 3 months, my mother had just passed away and I was a total zombie. I was completely traumatized. If it wasn't for my son and his girlfriend I would've been homeless and starving. Im on SSDI and they stopped my claim for 3 months. I didn't know whatI was going to do. I hadto apply for welfare and received $186 a month!!! Who could live on that???!!!!!!! I don't want to bore you with my story, I just wanted you to know I know how u feel and just wanted to make some suggestions so maybe if there is a food bank maybe through a local church in your area or try contacting your local Salvation Army. They provide assistance with food and utility bills I believe. I know you need help right away so look them up on Google and give them a call. I'll pray for you. Please let us all know if you were able to get help. God Bless.
Hey everyone just stopped in to keep you informed!! I had beg for money outside the postoffice today. It's amazing how mean people can be when you ask them for help. They seriously look at you, like I'm about to rob them. It's so embarrising and degrading!! But what else do i do.

Is it difficult to start a blog? Well, that really depends, ... Take a look at Blogspot.com. There are many other websites which offer the same sort of blog set up too, simply do a search on Google or Bing. Creating your own blog is a step between a site like this one, and that of creating your own website and domain. Blog site's offer a variety of templates, and also allow for your own creativity to whatever extent you want and are comfortable with. It's one of those things you learn as you go along, ... and I find it a wonderful way to use both my artistic and writing talents. You can really run wild with everything from subject matter, to set up and design. Here are links to my pages on Blogspot ... you can also view Blogspot itself and see what others have created.
in response to CATLUV...Wow! Thanks you have given me a place to start. Can I ask is it difficult to start a blog or is there a start up fee for the website. Sorry, everyone should know that right. I can use. A computer and browse thru websites but I'm not sure how to start with a blog. It sounds interesting and I do have many thoughts and stories to share. I have a passion for writing.
Also, if you want to go back to school that may actually be of some help to you financially .. from what you've explained, it's clear you'd fully qualify for full financial aid, in addition to being eligible for a number of grants. Financial aid not only pays for your tuition, books and fees, but there also tends to be a little money left over for your living expenses. You can also apply for school loans, which have lower interest rates and are allotted a longer time period to pay back.
There are several national services which locate deadbeat dads (or parents) and by law are able to take child support, withhold it from paychecks, bank accounts, assests, etc. Here are a few of them:
Well like most people on here. I am unemplyed, and looking for work everyday. It is so hard, because the jobs I want are the ones I can't get because of the lack of experience or education. Yes, of course I want to return to school but I need money now to take care of my family. I don't receive state assistance anymore. I reached my time limit. I don't receive any child support. I don't understand, if the Government can find Bin Ladin than how come they can't find dead beat dads. I need some help now. My boys are 13, 10,8, and 7 I have been their only parent and have been supporting them all all of their life. I don't regret having them. Yes, I should have waited but oh well I have my babies. I know I want a better life for them. Its just so hard. I am trying my best. I don't know what to do. Right now I need $1500 just to catch up on bills and rent for the month of June. I am about to lose my license, my vehicle, and gas for our home, all while being behind on rent.
I have a friend who ha been helping me, but I can tell he is getting tired of paying my bills he has his own bills and kids. He is great but I think I will lose him soon because I can't pay my on bills. I am an independent woman but with no job or income I feel worthless. Help!!!
My heart goes out to you and your family. Are you familiar with WIC? That is a federal program the assists mothers of children under 5 with food and specialized care, if they need it. Google a WIC clinic near you in your state. That will help you with the formula for the baby.
As far as your debt, keep in constant contact with them. They know it is hard out here. Not contacting them only begets angry and threatening phone calls (which, by the way, are illegal). Freecharitycars.com helps out with the car situation. You may have to do an involuntary repossession (where you turn the car in due to inability to pay because of loss of wages) to help salvage some of your credit. The website helps people, like us, that are down on their luck but need a car.
Salvation Army, Catholic Charities, your home church, etc are other entities that help. Google non-profit/charities and see what you come up with.
As far as income, there are some legit work from home places. The problem is that there are just as many scams! The legit ones ask for no money up front. I know of a few if you want.
I hope this helps. If you need more private help, feel free to post me 1-on-1. God Bless you, honey!

I am in need of help. I am unemployed and currently look for work. I am getting behind on my bills. I hope to have work in the next 30 days, however I need money now to cover outstanding bills. I'm in the process of selling things that is not needed. I am also running low on food. I only eat once a day to make sure the kids have food.It's hard being a single parent with 2 kids. I am on energy assistance and other low income programs but these days it's not enough. I would be most grateful if anyone could help me, even if it's big or small. I live in the germantown area and can meet. This not a scam and if you need proof to support the situation I am in please let me know...
Hi and Im sorry to hear you are in the position of possibly losing your home. Have you contacted your lender to discuss any programs they may have available to you? I know with no income it will be difficult if not impossible to keep your home because there is no incentive for them to work with you. Your state does have a Mortgage Help Hotline to help the thousands in your position keep their options open while facing forclosure. They can answer your questions in more detail.
Des Moines, Iowa.
The Iowa Mortgage Help Hotline, which has helped thousands of Iowans facing foreclosure, will be closed as early as June if funds can’t be found to keep it operating, Attorney General Tom Miller said Thursday. “The Hotline is working,” Miller said, “but it must be funded if it is to continue to help Iowans save their homes. It would be unconscionable for us as a society to bail out Wall Street and then fail to give basic assistance to everyday Iowans at risk of losing their homes.” Miller urged the Legislature to authorize the Iowa Finance Authority to use existing money already in the Housing Trust Fund (Project-based Housing program) to provide a short-term lifeline for the Hotline. “This simple measure has been in the hopper all session, but it needs to be approved before lawmakers go home,” he said. “Iowans’ homes are at stake,” Miller said. “More than five percent of Iowa mortgages are 90 days or more past due or in the foreclosure process. That’s almost 20,000 families. We can save some of those homes, but we need to keep the Hotline going.” Miller also said he is asking the Governor and Legislature to search for additional resources to fund what he called “a crucial, tested, successful program.” He also said he has asked Congressional and Administration officials for any possible federal assistance to keep the program alive. The federal grant that supplies most of the funding for IMH has been cut, Miller said, despite the fact that the need for foreclosure counseling and mediation remains very strong. “Less federal money is available and more agencies are seeking the money nationwide. The result is that IMH has seen its federal grant award cut by 58%, and this cut has put in jeopardy the very existence of IMH,” he said. “Iowa was one of the first states to launch a foreclosure-prevention program, and Iowa’s program now is regarded as one of the most effective in the country, due in part to its unique state-wide partnership. In fact, Freddie Mac has recognized Iowa Mortgage Help as one of the country’s best foreclosure prevention programs,” he said. “This is important to Iowa families who are in trouble, and it is important to all our communities and the economy in general,” Miller said, citing a study showing that every foreclosure reduces the value of neighboring homes within a city block by one percent. Miller also said vacant foreclosed homes become magnets for crime and vandalism, and they reduce property tax collections for local government. “We still are encouraging Iowans to contact the Hotline if they are at risk of foreclosure,” Miller said. The toll-free number is 877-622-4866, and the web site is www.IowaMortgageHelp.com. “I fought to start the Hotline and I’m fighting to keep it alive,” Miller said. - 30 - Background and detail: The Iowa Mortgage Help financial situation: The IMH Hotline operates on a mixture of state, federal and private funding. It now appears that funding will run out in June, based on the expected amount of federal funding to be provided in the next round of funding, which will be announced in April. It is estimated that about $750,000 to $1 million is needed to sustain the program through the end of this year, when the next round of federal funding may be available. (Expenditures vary because they depend on the number of homeowners who apply for help.) Miller said IMH is working to make up the gap from at least four sources: State legislative action to authorize using money in the Iowa Finance Authority Housing Trust Fund (Project-based Housing program); any other state funds that could be allocated by the Governor and Legislature; federal funds; and any other sources. The A.G.’s Office dedicates two investigators and an attorney to foreclosure-prevention and mortgage enforcement, as well as work by Attorney General Tom Miller and other top attorneys in the office. The office also deploys a staff person to assist the Hotline and coordinate Hotline work with the Attorney General’s Office. History of the Iowa Mortgage Help Hotline: The Iowa Attorney General’s Office formed a partnership with the Iowa Mediation Service in September 2007 to start the Iowa Foreclosure Hotline. In early 2008, a federal grant became available for foreclosure counseling. As a result, a new partnership was formed between the Iowa Finance Authority, the Iowa Attorney General’s Office, Iowa Mediation Service, Iowa Legal Aid, local housing counseling non-profits located throughout the state, and their umbrella organization, the Iowa Home Ownership Education Project, or IHOEP. The new partnership dramatically expanded foreclosure prevention services offered to Iowans, and was named Iowa Mortgage Help, or IMH. IMH officially began on March 1, 2008, with the award of the first round of federal funding. Approximately 20 Iowans a day open a formal application with IMH. Since its inception, more than 9,000 Iowans have opened applications with IMH. [Go to chart showing increase in applications received per week by Iowa Mortgage Help.] Most clients who have worked with Iowa Mediation Service and the Hotline reported positive outcomes, including: 29% had a modification or other loss-mitigation solution that saved their home, 32% are still in negotiations; 23% received mortgage counseling only; and 15% had a negative outcome, such as loss of home or bankruptcy, or they withdrew from counseling. [Go to Dale Headrick message about how the Hotline helped save their Des Moines-area home.] Miller said Iowa’s foreclosure rates are improving compared to the rest of the nation, “and a big part of that is due to the Hotline.” According to the MBA, as of the 4th Quarter of ‘07, Iowa ranked 21st lowest in the percentage of all loans starting into foreclosure. By the most recent report, 4th Quarter ‘09, Iowa had improved to rank 10th best (10th lowest in percentage of loans starting foreclosure), mostly following smaller states such as VT, ND, SD, WY, MT, AK. Iowa’s percentage of loans starting foreclosure is just 62% of the national average. How does the Iowa Mortgage Help Hotline work? IMH provides foreclosure counseling, intervention, and legal services for Iowans facing foreclosure. Most important, the service provides negotiation and mediation services with lenders in order to modify the terms of mortgages and make them more affordable, so families can stay in their homes. All IMH services are provided at no cost to the borrower. Iowans may enter the IMH system in several ways: through a toll-free Hotline at 877-622-4866, through the website (www.IowaMortgageHelp.com), or by going in person to one of the housing counseling agencies located throughout the state and listed at the web site. Hotline calls are answered at Iowa Mediation Service in West Des Moines, where operators gather basic data and refer cases to one of the local housing counseling agencies. The certified counselors then gather more in-depth financial information from the borrower, including developing a budget. Most borrowers are then referred on to Iowa Mediation Service which attempts to negotiate a loan modification or other loss mitigation solution with the borrower’s mortgage servicer or lender. In situations where the home cannot be saved, IMS works with the lender to provide a “soft landing” for the home owner. Finally, because foreclosure is a judicial process in Iowa, borrowers in foreclosure are referred to Iowa Legal Aid, which helps guide the borrowers through this complex process.

More information is available in the following brochures:
Family Self Sufficiency Grants (FSSG)
The purpose of FSSG is to provide immediate and short-term assistance to PROMISE JOBS participant families which will remove specific barriers related to obtaining or retaining employment. Removing these barriers to self-sufficiency might reduce the length of time a family is dependent on the Family Investment Program (FIP).

I am a single mother, and full time student with no income (aside from state assistance.) I am facing foreclosure and was wondering if there is any possibility at all of saving it?
Me and my Husband have no jobs and i just had our first child i am 19and my husband 20 about to be 21 have put in appications everywhere. We are strugling trying to get formula for the baby but we have his grandmothers help wic helps out to. My husband has three diffrent loans and we cant even pay them. They hassel us everyday we had to sell my husbands car to make payments. But we havent been able to pay them since our son was born. So please if you have any information it would greatly help.
I am a 30 yr old single mom and I lost my job dealing with my 6 yr old daughter's situation. Last August 2009 she was sexually assualted by her brother which cost a rift between her dads family and myself I spent time trying to find resources to help her and continue to go to work. Ive had to take off work due to her withdrawing from school or disruptive behavior and when I asked her dad for help to get her counseling he told me I was on my own. Her dad and I have been divorced for 3 years now and he has stopped working so I no longer have child support coming in. I just got another job and from the time I lost my job I until now Ive work for a medical staffing company to keep sum money coming in to pay rent but they have been canceling my shifts which leaves me with no money. Today I went to a Nursing facility and was hired on the spot but they only get paid by monthly which means I wont get a pay check until 12/1/2010 I am desprately seeking help because I only have 2 weeks to come up with 800.00 and 11/1/10 it will be higher . I have even left my car broke down just to pay my leasing office and catch the bus to work and its hard but Im trying. I have no where and absolutely no where to go with my daughter and maintain this new job which is only a 30 min bus ride from where I live currently. If there is any help at all you can give me words will never express my gratitude even if its a contact for some to help me so I can get things under control and get my daughter the help she needs. One postive thing about me being off is I was able to go to her school be with her and be home to comfort her when she needs it and that has smooth things out a little but I still need to go to work so I can keep a home because no one would want to be on the streets with their children. I pray you can help and if your not God bless you anyway for just having the heart to want to help someone but I do understand you are only human and can do so much. I will however continue to pray for your organization and the people needing help. I pray the God opens doors for you to be able to do more as well as bless you abundantly in your personal lives...Thank You

Hi... I am in need of help this Holiday season for my two sons for Chriatmas. My husband got laid off 2 months ago. He has applied for un-employment but have not heard anything. He has applications out and nothing. My youngest son does get SSI but all that goes towards the house payment each month. This holiday season is not looking to good. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.
My youngest son is 5 years old and wears a 5T in Pants- 6 & 7T in shirts- size 12 and 1 in kids shoes. He LOVES Sponge Bob, Monster Trucks, crafts, learning games and watching movies etc.
My oldest son is 11 and wears size 16 in Pants - Sm to Med in Mens shirts- size 6 and half and 7 in Men shoes. He loves WWE wrestling w/ John Cena- Board games such as Chess- He likes playing his PSP so he is into most types of games...
My son broke his ankle about 2 years ago and had to go through the county, it took a year to get his surgery by that time his bone had collasped and was dead, they manage to save his foot although he can not run or do heavy equipment work anymore. He has had no income for the past 2 years and was a stay at home Dad for his daughter. He now has found out that he has serious back problems from putting all his weight on one leg and also that his ankle is broke again. His live in girlfriend kicked him out and he has no income, he is 30 years old, he started back at the county clinic today and they gave him a referral to see a specialist in the county hospital. I am just afraid it will take a long time again as Harris county moves real slow. They also gave him prescriptions today and even though he has no income he had to pay 15.00 for them I know that does not sound like a lot of money, but to someone that has no money it is an aweful lot. Does anyone out there have some knowledge or info on some programs that might be available to him or where he can get some better medical help? Any and all info would be greatly appreciated, like I said before he had to wait a year before finaly getting surgey and if he could of got his foot operated on right away he would of been ok today but they really did not think they could even save the foot because it had all colasped and the tissues had died do to the long wait. Any help would be appreciated.

My husband passed away a year ago yesterday and my son in law and myself met with the funeral home people the day of the funeral and my son in law said that since i have no income and he was working that he would pay the bill and it never got paid. He has since lost his job months back and still hasnt got another one. I cant draw from my husband until im 60 and im not that yet. Ive looked for help here but there is nothing here that will help with a funeral and the churches here are either low in funds or have no funds and the payment is due by today. I dont know where to turn. I live with a friend who took me in to keep from being homeless so i am able to look for help on here I have been trying to find something to do online to make some money but they all want investments and i cant do that. I cant even do that project payday because putting up some money is involved in making money and i cant do that so now here i am asking for help. I dont want the money to come to me i want it to go to the funeral home. If anybody can help you can email me at kygranny1953@gmail.com for the details. any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
First of all, I think that this is a wonderful thing that you are doing. There are so many people out there who need help and pointed in the right direction. Keep up the good work.
Now, here's my story. I am a single mother of an 11 year old. I recieve little financial help from his father and no physical help. In fact, he hasn't seen him since he was a year and a half.
I few months ago I was scammed out of $1400. This put me behind on all my bills. I had borrowed the money, and my pay check went to pay back all the loans. Even that wasn't enough to cover them. I had to live off of the meager $66 a week I get in child support for 2 months. (I have contacted everyone and reported the scam. I don't know if I will be able to get my money back though. I have not heard anything as of today.)
I have since been able to get somewhat caught up on my bills. The one major problem I am having is my rent. It wasn't a problem before this all happened, but I have since gotten behind 3 months. I don't want to have to look for a new place to live. My son and I love it here, and he has many friends in the neighborhood.
I have tried to get some rental assistance, but I make $1000 too much. This is a problem I am running into everywhere I turn. I make too much money. I don't know where else to turn. If anyone has any ideas or resources I can contact, they would be most welcome.

I am very busy trying to better myself for my family and I need much needed help to have the money to find a bigger place. Please if you find it in your heart to help us. We also have NO insurance to pay for his bills. I

I don't know if your group is still helping or not. To be honest its awkward to post a personal story on a random place found on google. Anyways, I am writing this for my sister, Crystal, and her family. They are perhaps the most amazing people ever. They have 4 kids, one car and a lovely suport network. Her husband, David, is a former Marine who has been layed off from work for the past year. He was a survayor but as we know times are getting harder still. My parents are helping them to make ends meet and my wife and I got them a washing machine for christmas. Their old washer was on its last leg and took forever to wash anything. Crystal even trys to start up new work for herself in order to try and make ends meet. I will not be able to do this story justice on the computer. It takes at least an hour to explain it all. The short and sweet is that they need some breathing room for atleast one month. A month where they are not wondering how God is goign to do it today. God is amazing and has not let a day go by without their provision being me t in someway but I hope you all might be able to help. Anyways, thankyou for your time and if you wish for elaboration please call.

I pray that someone drops by and blesses you. They are checking me for sarcodosis tomorrow due to outbreaks of the skin. I don't know if you did research but when they mentioned that to me I did right away, sometimes it can go away as suddenly as it appeared but other times it may effect other organs, and the skin. So I am believing for a miracle for you. Be blessed and get well soon!

Please help us, my husband lost his job and now we have no income. We have used what little savings we had, but rent is due next week, and we don't have it. I am worried how I am going to feed my family. We have been looking for jobs everyday. I am even having yard sales every weekend trying to sell whatever I can. I am worried that we are going to be put out on the street. We have two sons who are also looking for work. If anyone can help us, it would be forever appreciated.
I'm a recently divorced, self employed parent. We have been able to reside in our current location for 6 months in a caretaker capacity as the owners live far away and needed to sell their current home before they could relocate. I found out this morning that they are planning to move into the residence in March which leaves us with no home and soon no income. Help! I have never been in this type of situation before....No money, no resources, overdue bills and tarnished credit. I do not know where to get help from. Any information would be truly appreciated!!!

I have never had to ask for anything before he fell. It would make my year to here from you. delpapas@zoominternet.net my name is Ashley #304-208-8002
