I would like to start to say thank you Mr.President,For thinking about the low income and the middle class, I wish we had more to give but we don't,It has come down to what can we afford gas to go to a Doctor, Can't even pay co-pays ,food, medications, Their just isn't enough money to pay for these things.I tried to get a grant to fix my home , Because are insurance company denied are claim , I tried the insurance commissioner and he said he sided with the insurance company. I have Toxic mold in my home, it's not our  fault this happened . We hired people to fix it and just had more problems, We are now on Social Security, fought for about 8 years.

Because we have put alot of our money into our home , when we were able to work, But now we are old , sick,and can't do the things we use to do ,and it's a mobile home,I tried to  get help But could not get any help from Snap, hud , fema,epa and many others I have way over a 1000 e-mails, letters, out there,they tell me their isn't anything  in grants that can help us ,I have had two  boughts of cancer, my husband had a stroke, my son has asthma, but yet the Rich can get Grants,

I am having a hard time finding employment like a lot of other people are in the country. To get to my point I am 4 months sober from drinking and I am real focused in starting my own business which is one of the main reasons I stopped drinking. I'm writing in hopes to get help and information in achieving my goal. I have an awsome opportunity, for where I stay at in the country is small, large enough where there is a wal-mart super center and other major establishments and space to bring a lot more that are not here yet. This is my dilema!! I have done research to see the potential but don't have the funds to create this economic chance. To start this plan I need $2,000 to become and LLc in this state then find lenders or investors. My goal is to franchise in to company's that are already proven even in recession that this city needs, and to bring jobs that people need instead empowering companys that are letting people go. Any one who is interested can call me at 803-534-5047 I am a true American with vision and ready to live my american dream and to help my fellow man and woman in this critical time in America.     INVEST IN OUR OWN COUNTRY AND BUILD!!!!!  MY NAME IS DAMON AND MY NICKNAME  IS SHA-BOOGIE THANK YOU!!!!

I am twenty years old and have little credit other than student loans. I got accepted and transfered to DePaul University for the spring quarter 2010 and my financial aid does not cover the cost of my classes. I am going to school for psychology with a minor in early childhood education. My main goal is to research alternative methods to medication for treating behavioral problems in children, but carreer wise I would like to get into social work or special needs education. I have maintained atleast a 3.0 throughout my time in college. I am unable to obtain a cosigner for a student loan because my parents do not have good enough credit scores to do so and due to abuse as a child have not had contact with any of my extended family in almost ten years. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I intend to apply to graduate school at the Professional School of Psychology after obtaining my degree at DePaul.

I'm 32 years old both my wisdom teeth are pushing through and I have several broken teeth. I have 2 kids that need to be seen too.  I have been crying everyday with the pain since 2 weeks before thanksgiving 09.  I have prayed and it has broght me here I don't make much money but I can make payments and with no credit I have been denied any and all credit.

PLEASE HELP GOD BLESS YOU

Hi. I am trying to move to the Philadelphia next month to be near my bf and his children. We have enough for a partial deposit on a place , but are having great difficulty finding a job and really cheap housing ( rental) The budget my family and I would be able to afford is between $300.00 to $500.00 per month. It needs to include all utilities, minus cable as that is a luxury item and we don't expect anyone to pay for that for us. I have tried looking up so many places online as I don't live up that way and cannot scope out the place for "For Rent" signs.  My bf is in college and is working part time. He is kinda limited as to how much time  he can do search wise and has pretty much exhausted his search means too. We aren't picky people. I mean yeah the neighborhood has to be decent. But, we aren't saying that it has to be spectacular. I would be willing to rent a moblie home, apt, house , townhome , or efficency at this point. (as long as it includes all the utilities)We would prefer at least a 3 bedroom place, but understand that that is probably a dream at this point because of the prices. We were thinking of doing a month to month place for now and then when I start working and we can afford to move to a place big enough for all of us. ( him, his 2 children and my daughter).

Please help if you know of anyone in that area that is willing to help a needy family such as us out, finding work and housing etc.

 Thanks for listening. God bless you and your families. Hope that you hear answers to your prayers as well.

This is a very interesting site.
 
www.PantryNet.org
 
This is a food pantry locator, type in city & radius of travel and a list of food pantries will be given.

 The only problem with this site is that it only lists pantries that have listed themselves with the site-so it may not have food pantries that are indeed in your area. If you find a foodshelf that isn't listed you can submit their information to help people find them. (If you can't find a food shelf/pantry in your town call local churches in your immeadiate community and they will generally have a list or know where to point you).

The following are websites that have inexpensive Christmas ideas on them. Some are pretty neat!!

I am a divorced mother of four, and a home-owner. My partner and I are very low income, less than poverty level, and live in a very poor community in Michigan. A little over a year ago our local housing commision paid for us to have our septic field re-done, as we had a pool of sewage in our yard due to a very out-dated system. In the year since our septic feild was replaced, many new problems have occured, up to and including a river of sewage water running constantly across our yard. No one, including the public health inspector who approved the poorly done job, and the company who did the job (and shortly after went out of business) will help us, let alone take responsibility for our mess. HELP US!!!! My children havent been able to play outside in their yard going on 3 yrs now...we have no way to pay for ANOTHER new septic field-our local housing commision says it is no longer their problem!!! I need info from ANYONE with any advice, direction or leads...please send all info to my personal e-mail   geminidragonfly_74@yahoo.com  Thank you...Tricia

HEllo my name is Jammie and I am a mother of 3 wonderful little boys. I am a full time student at A-B Tech in Asheville NC, I'm studing criminal justice. I plan to give back to my community when I finish my degree, I want to either work with domestic violence victims/ sexually abused women and children or I want to help implement programs into the communtiy to get younge kids off the streets and out of crime because if you want to stop crime you should investigate the social enviroment first.

Any way, I am behind on all my finacial nessesities and just need an extra hand to give my kids what they need. I am in need of econmic donations for bills (my lights will be shut off monday 3-24-08 and my rent is almost 3 months lates. I am in a really bad relationship and want to become self-sufficent. Also would love to know about grants to help finish my schooling.

Thanks to all who read this and understand what I'm going through. Just a prayer can be enough to get through the day. Thanks
