in response to lonesome dove...   I am not sure where you live exactly, but I have a few suggestions. Try the Salvation Army. I'm not taling about moving in there. They actually do have some housing funding programs. Also, try some of the churches in your area, whether you are a member of that denomination or not. If they turn you away for not being a member, bless them and let them know that they have just fulfilled the scripture of the good samaritan, where all the religious leaders passed by a man who lay suffering , and they thought themselves too good or too busy to help, but it was the samaritan, a despised person in the time of Christ, who not only cared for the person the religios leaders passed by, but paid for it out of his own pocket. God Bless and pray they quickly receive the reward of their faith.

 in response to bookworm2011...   Thank you for your response, it is very helpful. My older son was fortunate to receive a scholarship based on his baseball skills and a GPA of 4.0, but I still had to co-sign loans for him b/c school cost money and a full scholarship does not cover everything, at least not for the working class. I am so upset over these new laws and how it has been affecting my younger son's chances for an education. I mean, he's only going to community college, not Harvard. With the loans I have co-signed for my older son, my salaray as a teacher, I am over extended. I don't see how I can keep doing this for the next 4 years to get my younger son through college. If I died would they still make him have a co-signer? Or simply reject him for any financial aid/student loans?

 in response to bookworm2011...   I was reading your blogs and i like your perspective outlook. keep up the good advise.

 in response to LDKC...   you have three years time to file an amendment to your taxes. refile and claim your son if it will get you a return versus not claiming him. Due to new laws regarding students under 25 and credit requirements, students will need co-signers.The process is to try to get the parent to take out the loan for the student, then the rest of what the parent doesnt qualify for, the student gets in a loan,up to the amount they are eligible for.
I think its unfair and actually penalizes parents and students and there are alot of sticky situations in between. For instance, my 19 year old daughter hasn't lived at home in three years, but I had to give my info. for her to get her student loan. She qualified for 8,000 of the 14,000 and they wanted me to take out the loan for the remaining. I refused. I already pay her rent, gas, cable, and food bills. So, they denied her the financial aid unless a parent co-signed. Even if the parent is denied, they must apply(or someone has to apply as a co-signer) for the student to get any aid.
I ended up making monthly payments of about 438 a month for her remaining balance and this was the only way I could get her qualified to receive her financial aid.
Best of luck, have your son apply for scholarships and see if that helps any, also maybe a fee waiver which is different from financial aid..but helps alot as it takes care of fee's at public colleges.

Try not having children if you're not in a financial position to take care of themselves and yourself. There is no one to blame for your situation than yourself. If the man says that he is using protection, then the onus is on you to make sure. If you get pregnant, there is always abortion (before you get all Christian on me, pre-marital sex is also frowned upon, but I guess you pick and choose here). Good luck.

hi .. I am 32 years old have 2 children and mothers, but do not have a single house, I hope someone can help me .. thank you. God Bless U..

SCI , woman, 41, going through tough divorce, fighting to keep my kid, and having to pay 1,888 for 24 hour home care for the privilege to see my son a few hours in the week and keeping him every other weekend. I need financial aid to help me pay for the in-home care, so I don't lose my home. Anyone has any ideas where I can apply since I can't apply to SS, SSI or Access?

I didn't claim my son last year on taxes for the soul purpose for him to get a student loan and he still could not get a student loan without a co-signer. He never had any established credit, he was 19 y.o last year, worked P/T minimum wage (less than $100. per week after taxes) no benefits, and still did not qualify for aid or loan.

 in response to loveleelisa...   What is your husband's disability?

I am in need of finacial help. My husband is trying to get disability and I get 688.00 I have a 15yr. old .We had a housefire in 2006, we did not have insurance, so we lost the house contents and my 3yr old son, I have been trying do things on my own but this year it has gotten hard. We are not going to have a Christmas or Thanksgiving. We could use some help. I have a car note that is to much for me to handle, but I live in a rural area that I need a car, and moving is not a option at this point.. I am asking for anything either help so that we can enjoy the holidays or help paying off my car note so we can be more independent. I owe 2006.23 on the car note and I have asked if we could have smaller payments but they can't help with that my payments are 312.26 a month we were ok before this because my mother paid my car note when she was living with us but she has since moved out and now we can't handle this. If you can help that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I too am a disabled Vet having a difficult time with making ends meet. I live in south central Phoenix Arizona. I am in need to find a roommate to share my large 3 bedroom home with. I know how hard it is so I am only asking $450 per month for the rent and all the amenities like utilities, cable television, and internet WiFi access are included with the rent. y home is nicely furnished, tidy, quiet, and drama free. Anyone interested is welcomed to email me. Sharing accommodations is a good way for a lot of people on limited income to live comfortably without the stress of having to try and do it all on your own.

 in response to frogg...   I think that it's awful that someone who has fought for us would be thrown away so easily. I have back problems along with fibromyalsia & it is so painful I can barely get out of bed. Anyone that has had the heart & bravery to fight for there country deserves to get any of the benefits they need! The military are appreciated especially those who have given their bodies for us!

I just got out of the hospital with a stroke. I was a patient in two hospitals. While at the first hospital, I received an IV in my left arm.It was neglected and I ended up with a blood clot and a staff infection which also got in my blood stream. When I went to the second hospital for rehab, they couldn't complete it because of my arm. I was only suppose to be in there for two weeks. I ended up on the medical floor instead of rehab. I had a high temp and very sick because of that infected IV. I lost my job because I wasn't there long enough for the Family Leave or long term disability to kick in. My wife is disabled and I now have no income. We do have a home payment and other bills. My wife collects $527.00 a month on Social Security Disability and our home payment is $525.00 a month. I am looking for work but at 60 years old with health problems, it is very hard. I thought about applying for disability but that takes awhile. I am not eligible for Unemployment Insurance because of my short time at my last job. We live in a small single wide mobile home. Until we can get back on our feet, we just need temporary help. We are afraid we are going to lose everything. We own a vehicle that needs work. It gets us around but not sure how long. It's got 166 thousand miles on it. We both have a lot of medications. I am diabetic with heart disease and high blood pressure and suffering from weakness on my left side because of my stroke. My wife has Fibromyalgia and osteo arthritis in her knees and can barely walk. I never asked for help like this before but I have to think of my wife. I don't care about me, just my wife.

 in response to helpifican...   I have issue with you saying you had this job, Disablity and SSI. How does that work. In order to get SSI. you need to be totally off work> with no other means of support> Odd> cause I know this for a fact ..

The worst part is, I call whoever I can think of for programs or just ANY helpful info. I always get--"they told you wrong" or " try this dead end". I thought if you were a good person and honest, you would receive blessings. When does that ever happen?

 in response to Inspiration...   Thank you so much I have copied and pasted the letter and sent, we will see what happens all they can do is say no..

I have heard of a program called www.microgiving.com. You can put your information on their site, and donations can be made to you for help for various reasons. I am looking into it, myself. I have suffered from severe fibromyalgia for several years, and I have finally had to stop working. I could not balance the demands of a career, three children (two of whom are autistic) and the problems that come from fibromyalgia. I am working to get disability, but that is always a long process, so I am looking into any forms of assistance that I can get to keep from losing our home. If I find any other possibly helpful sites, I will be happy to share them and my results with everyone here. My prayers are with all of you.

 in response to crossboy56...   How did all that "Change" work out for you? Totally scammed...

 in response to michted...   Copy and paste this letter into a new email to Jim_Lentz@toyota.com. Add your contact information at the bottom of the letter. Put in the subject line, URGENT CUSTOMER REQUEST. Good luck and let me know the results. Inspiration.

Torrance, CA 90501

Dear Mr. Lentz,

I hope you will fully read and take into consideration the following sincere plea. I am a struggling American who has fallen on hard times as a direct result of several traumatic, life-changing experiences that were beyond my control.

My beloved mom passed away from what I strongly believe was nurse malpractice and abuse. Dealing with this loss caused such me much grief, which later led to my heart attack. During this time, my doctor informed me that my heart was too weak and strongly advised me not return to work. As a result, I filed for Social Security Disability Benefits. This is not a quick process, and as you can imagine the bills started piling up. Although I tried hard to keep up, I fell behind on several of my debts. Then to add insult to injury, my mother’s tombstone was repossessed when I fell behind on the payments. I was devastated.

Now, my car is about to quit on me, and I cannot afford to purchase another one. It is imperative that I have reliable transportation to and from my Doctor’s appointments. Therefore, I wanted to inquire if Toyota has any donation programs where they donate cars to individuals with special needs. If not, would Toyota be willing to work with a local dealership in my area to see if they would donate a used car to me as a gesture of goodwill and financial hardship? I am at the end of my rope and don’t know where else to turn for help. Your consideration would be most appreciated.

Respectfully,

 My son was diagnoses with Pyloric Stenosis , It took our hospital almost a week to diagnose him and it almost cost him his life. He was so dehydrated that when I got him to the Children's Hospital they told me he only had hours until he would have been to far gone to help. This condition causes the body to not be able to digest or process any food through the intestines, so basically, the baby eats then vomits it right back up, without getting any benefit from it. ...need some help pls.. heres my cellphone number 09276658035 heres my email ryannorate@yahoo.com... we need to pay for the pediatric surgeon for the operation to be done pls help my baby he's only 3weeks old
