RSingle mother in need

I am a single mother of a 14 yearold. I work a part-time job, it don't pay much but it keeps a roof over our heads. My son has medical problems. He has had his colon removed before the polyps turn cancerous. The polyps keep coming back, so to keep them from turning cancerous he has to get his rectal lazzerd every 6 months the rest of his life. I've had to do some repairs toy van but still in need of car repairs. I just replaced my thermostate and a new battery but now it wont start. I was told I need a tune-up and replace the coil from ignition to my mastercylinder needs to be replaced. I am seeking help for Christmas and car repairs. So that way I can take my son to and from dr appointments. Plus be able to take my grandaughter to church like we've been doing for the last year. My son ends up in the hospital a couple of times a year for weeks at a time, so I have to take time off.

Crowded In Pindall, AR

I can put another mobile home on the property I am living on if I had $1000 for the down payment, I would need about $2000 more to get it set up. We have 3 adults and 2 children living in a 2 br mobile home that needs many repairs, which can't be done with all of us occupying it and 1 of the adults is my daughter and the 2 children are hers, my grandchildren. My daughter has a HUD voucher, but there are no rentals in my grandson's school area. I am the only driver in the household so having them right next door would be very helpful as well.

So miserable

Right now I feel like I am about to lose my mind. I was laid off from my job at the end of April. I loved my job and right now i feel like they are not going to call me back. I have been able to collect unemployment but it is significantly less than my pay was. To make matters worse, our car needs 500.00 worth of work to make it "legal" and I am afraid every day that we are going to get pulled over and the ticket would be 220.00.
Our mortgage company "lady" is mad because I did not send her 20% of our income tax return because it went towards bills, and the front porch on our house is about to collapse. I have horrible credit and have been trying to find someone to give me a 5000.00 loan, so that bills are paid and we can get the porch fixed before it collapses and hurts someone. I have been so stressed that I snap at my kids and dont really mean to. I feel like a failure. I have thought about going back to school, but my student loans are in default so I would not be able to get financial aid, so that will have to wait.
I just never pictured my life this way...basically living in poverty, but not by government standards.

home repair for elderly/disabled female

I am a 62 year old female whose sole source of income in my SSI disability check. I live in a mobile home (which I own) that is literally falling apart. I have no functioning kitchen stove or sink, my hot water heater is broken as is my air conditioner and there are holes in my walls large enough for a small cat to pass through, Also the ceiling in my shower has basically fallen down and my bathroom floor has a hugh hole in bathroom floor that I have covered with a piece of wood. I need some sort of help to at least make minimal repairs. I can't afford to move & I really don't want to. I am not as young as I might like to be but more importantly, I have several pets that are my main reason for living.  They love me and I love them and will go to almost any lenghs to protect them and keep them healthy & happy. Can anyone help?

In need of handyman/woman services.

Hi, I was wondering if there is anyone out there with some home repair skills that could help me. Right now I am coming off of workers comp but, can't return to my original job and therefore I am looking for another which will accomodate my disabilities resulting from my job injuries. I need some drywall put up and I will assist as much as possible. When my roof was leaking it caused damage before I could get a new one. I have many of the supplies needed and the tools I just need the help and strength. I can't hire anyone because, in Aug my mother died without warning and no life insurance and therefore, I was left with a $7,000 credit card bill.  I hope someone can help as I will gladly help anyone I can that may need my help as long as it doesn't involve money. Thanks!  Patricia33

Car payment, Car Insurance Payments, and Repairs.

 

I have a car that my grandma bought me so I could get back and forth to college, as well as help family out by going to get groceries, pet stuff, and whatever else maybe on the list. However, since my last little car accdent I hadn't been able to drive it because the allinment is messed up. So right now, I have no money to fix that, but right now I am not worried about repairs as much as the car insurance and payments. I only have four payments to go and I don't have money to get this payment done, I am short by $83 and for my car insurance this month as well I need another $30.

Also one last thing is that I live in a town with no job openings so I can't find a stable job right now. The only two ways I get any money is being in college still and help a best friend's mom by cleaning her house for $20 a week. Though I am in college there is public transporation I can use to get to campus or a friend so I can be in class. I just miss my car right now and my main worry is getting all these payments done before I start working on getting my car repaired to drive again.

hi! i am a 37 yr old disabled mom who owns her own mobilehome. and because of all the cut backs by the state and an $85 space rent increase. i cannot get the work done around here that needs done. some of the work is required by park management and some is required for suitable living. if someone reading this can help i need yard work, a swamp cooler & installation, and a kitchen counter with reinforcement, and shower and toilet repairs. these things are just the basics of a suitable living space and i have been trying all my life for just this home. i have been homeless and displaced because of other people that did not give a crap about me or my kids. but i kept going until i finally found this place for sale for $800 and that was my opening, finally i had ahome nobody could take from me and my kids. but evidently if i don't take care of these issue's i mentioned i could lose what i thought i had secured. so if you could find it in your heart to help me i would so appreciate it. i'll be praying, thank you.

Anywhere i can turn for help?

Ok, so im not sure where to even look for help. We bought a house on land contract and have lived here for 3 months. When we looked at the house, it was great and a christian couple had it so we thought ok its all great! Wrong! So far we have had to replace the kitchen and laundry room floor, well the laundry room is still waiting b/c we have no money. The roof in the wash room leaks, there were cockroaches and termites so there is $1000 alone we have to come up with. We already signed the papers so there is no turning back, plus i love this home! Does anyone know where i might be able to get help in making the repairs?

I'm looking for a business grant for my pilot car business. It's a good business, only I haven't been able to 'fund' it the last two years (reliable transportation). I'm a full time college student engaged to a truck driver with two children. His son (10) lives here with us and his daughter (7) lives with her mother at this time. Our house is falling apart (lliterally). The foundation has sunk about a foot from the front of the house to the back. We have no stove and our water heater is running on propane. Thank God for free computers (my fiance's brother was killed so we are using his old one) and $7 a month dial up! We are on well water here (came with the house) we had a water leak and in one month ran up $1085.09 water bill (??) We both have 20+ year old cars, both on their last leg, no tags or insurance. My fiance hurt his back framing houses when he was younger and is out of work quite often. We are both having trouble finding jobs to pay the utility bills (basic phone service and electric) much less the medical. I am diabetic and have minor mental disabilities (severe Adult ADHD, Bi-Polar Disprder), breathing problems, stomach ulcers and scoliosis. Neither of us drink or use drugs (Advil is the 'hard stuff' around here) and neither of us are on any type of medication or treatment, if we get sick, we wait it out. I don't just want free money I want to fix my car or invest in a pick-up to get my business running again so that one of us has steady work. I have no clue how to go about finding a grant for this. As (technically) a single female student/business owner, finding grants shouldn't be hard to do, I simply do not know where to start. I'm thankful for what we have, but we are barely eating some months. By the way, I'm 23 and a freshman. Thank you for reading this, I really do appreciate it. God Bless, Scared to Death in OK
