Dear craig i just read your message at digital charity. Ive been trying to find a real site that actually helps people in need and doesnt try to scam them. what you wrote makes me believe there are still people out there that have a heart in this world. this is the first time that ive ever looked on line for charities or for people to help. This is the last and only thing that i have left. Im writing this because i dont know what to do at this point. I am a mother of 2 chidren 2 girls 11 and 6 I also have my 7 year old nephew whos lives with us Right now me my husband and chidren are living with my husbands parents. We moved in with them about a year go when we both lost our jobs. we were cleaning out foreclsed homes and lost our accounts and we did not know that when you are a subcontracter you can not get unemployment. so that was the start of how we ended up in the situation were in now. So at that point we had no income at all and could not find a job. we did odd jobs here and there but never had anything permanent. so therefore we lost our house, and car. Thank God for my in laws they let us move in with them, but theres 6 of us living in a 3 bedroom house its deffinitely cramped but we manage. The problem is both of my in laws are sick and on disability. my mother in law has rhaumatoid arthritis and my father in law is in remission from throat cancer and also has chronic copd. between the 2 of them they get 1850 a month. rent is 725 water is 130 electric is 280 car 300 car insurance 80 a month also pay every month for our tv, kids dresser and the washer so that payment is 285 a month which leaves about 50.00 left but that goes for medications food, gas,not to mention all the regular necessities,by the second week of the month we have no money and if we have any unexpected emergency or the kids need stuff for school or clothes or i need my medecines i also have rheumatoid arthritis and have chronic migraines most months i go without my medecines cause we dont have the money. well back in august i got a job i made 7.50 an hour and i was working 40 hrs a week. i was making about 200 a week not a huge amount of money but it definitely helped contribute to the bills well then in oct my husband got a job hes was working 20 hrs a week and making about 100 a week so that was great things started looking up. my husband and i bought ourselves a cheap car so we could get to work and my inlaws had a car at the house in case something happened. During that time it definitely took a strain off all the stress and worry in the house especially for my in laws. It felt so good to finally be able to contrbute to the household and for once my inlaws actually had a couple dollars left for themselves for the month. plus it felt so good for me and my husband to finally be working and start feeling like a mother and a father again,taking care of our kids like were supposed to.plus it cut the tension in house not having to worry and struggle with how were going to pay everything each month. that starts to take a toll on all relationships no matter how much you love eachother.Well just when things start to seem like there falling in place it happened again both me and my husband got laid off again a week before christmas, not to mention our car blew up so that leaves us back in this terrible financial situation again. This time i actually get unemployment benefits but its only 56.00 a week im just waiting for them to pay me they havent given me a date yet. i couldnt believe when they said i qualify for 56.00 a week what do they expect you to do with that , i mean i shouldnt complain especially since i dont have a dollar to my name and i check that nesc website everyday to see if they put that money on my card. well my husband didnt work long enough to qualify for benefits so that really sucks. we still havent found jobs yet and this month we havent had the money to pay our rent our tv ,kids dresser ,washer yet because my in laws overdrafted there account for the month due to an unexpected emergency. my in laws car broke down and considering that is our only way of transportation we had no choice but to fix it so with all the fees taken out we only paid the electric bill car, car insurance,and telephone.now we dont have enough money to pay our rent and tv, kids dresser or washer but all i care about is the rent we can manage without the other things but i just dont want to loose our home thats all we have.and honestly i dont know where we will go.plus we have no money to move in to another place. and through the past year i have sold everything of value in our home just to make it. I would sell the car at this point but it has a loan on it.I have been to dss christian ministries, salvation army to other housing places in our area but none of them can help because we no lease we go month to month even though my lanlord wrote a letter but that was not enough they needed an eviction notice and my lanlord wont go through that trouble since its month to month.they would not pay my other bills because there not considered a necessity and i can definitely understand that. but the only thing i care about is not having our whole family living on the street in the cold. were already 8 days late on our rent and he said we only have until 1-11-11 to come up with the money or we have to move. i know this isnt giving alot of notice but ive never even considered asking strangers for any help but i dont know what else to do. i cant tell you when i could pay you back. i know when i get my taxes done i always get a refund. but right now thats the only for sure thing i can count on for getting any money. but that wont be until february. unless me or my husband get a job by then.and i can only pray that will happen.me and my husband will work as long as we have to doing anything we have to. and i know you wrote you dont like to help people you dont know because youve gotten scamed but maybe you have some friends in nc that we could work for so we could work it off.or you know of anyone else that could help our family. we will do anything.please im putting me and my family at your mercy. when you read this please think about if this were happening to your family. what would you do! we will do anything to keep our family in this house. please if you can help or know anyone that can please email me as soon as you can we only have 2 days left. you have no idea how much this would mean to us. and we would do whatever we have to do so you can verify this information you can talk to my landlord, family members i will fax you all my bills whatever you need me to do i will do. believe me this is no scam and we are very desperate. thank you for listening Danielle

I sure will,but I encourage you to look under the heading of free or almost free vehicles ans see if there are any in your area. Good Luck and God Bless

I am hopeless with no car. I need a donation of a running car.

Both you and your dad may be entitled to unemployment benefits

also check with social services for additional assistance - food stamps, liheap, TANF, medicaid....

other organizations like catholic charities, st vincent de paul, red cross, united way, local churches and food pantries may be able to help with other necessities and utility assitance.

211 is not available in your area, but the local united way should be able to help you locate additional services and organizations - their information is below.. I have links to additional national organizations on my home page...

i have the same thing going on  power bill due,  everything due.. 

What kind of aid do you need? I have listings that help find resources that most don't know about.The others on here have great advice on other subjects and even on the same subjects.

There are some who just read and help in their way, quiet and mysterious, others come right out and tell you what they can and will do.

So, What's your flavour??

Thanks for the information. I try to reach out to those I can help in my community. There were a few sites on your list I have never heard of. I'll add those to my favorites list. Here is another site that is not on your list that I find helpful.

HI. My name is Samantha and i'm a single divorced mother of a handsome 8yr old son and beautiful 5yr old daughter of which are smart as a whip with the world at their fingertips! 

However, I am disabled due to a spinal disease that immobilizes me graetly and liver disease that keeps me sick often. I am trying to manage both issues and am starting treatments soon to try and beat the liver disease.    My problem is that with an income of 694.00 monthly and no financial, emotional nor physical help for my kids from the ex-husband it has been very difficult to provide simple stabilities such as a home, food and utilities.  I was hoping to start classes at the local community college in the fall to try and beat this future strarting at me, but I got my electric shut off 2 weeks ago and then last week i became homeless ( not being able to keep up with payments).  I have been making phone calls and doing searches endlessly since but to no avail,   CAN ANYONE help point me in another direction because I am slowly becoming hopeless and i'm losing my mind with too man anxiety attacks!

I JUST WANNA B A GOOD MOM AND PROVIDE STRUCTURE AND STABILITY FOR MY CHILDREN, BUT MORESO I WANT TO SECURE A FUTURE FOR THEM!   !!!!!    

Thank you  and god bless u all

feel free to contact me at 717-884-1332 if u can help my direction

god bless you for what you do hi i am shirlee from ireland .... glad to meet you

Hi. I'm a 41 yo single mom of two, the sole provider (I get no child support from either father, nor is either one a part of their lives), unemployed due to disability. I have maxed out all gov't agency help, welfare help, unemployment, and none of the catholic charities/churches around here have funds to help. Our water is about to be shut off and I dont' know what to do or have anyone I can turn too. I desparately need help.
