hi!, okay well this really isnt about me.... im trying to raise money for my boyfriend. so he can get a car and get his life started how he wants it to be... ah where to begin... my boyfriend is amazing and has always been there for me..and i try to reciprocate as much as possiblee!! his family... ehhh.... crazyness all the way.... his parents are divorced... his dad disowned him when my boyfriend didnt get a 3.0 in college during his freshman year...so his dad just droped him with all his school debt and leaving him no place to go to school nor live, my boyfriend has since then been working at staples to pay for his way, he lives with me so its more economical but still its his paychecks barely cut it...however thats the best drop he can get since his transportation is the bus.... his dad has all the money imaginable and still wont help, saying that my boyfriend is acting like a proper son to him anyways youre probably asking about the rest of the fam and their help......his step dad died earlier this year.....then a couple months later his brother died from cancer in less than 2 weeks from dionose... o and the mom is curreently going through colon cancer....she was in surgury last wednesday..... so they cant help him his family is all rather poor... i just wish he had enough money to get a car so he could get a better job and save up and go back to school, pay off his current loans that his dad left him with, and help pay off his  bills...

  he is so considerate and hard working ( the best at staples! haha i enjoy hearing his stories when he comes home from work :)

 so yea i guess thats my story im just doing everything possible to help get him money for a car......his dad said he would consider paying for the rest if my boyfriend could earn $2000 so thats the goal $ 2000! hopefully i will get some money thru selling his collectable star wars toys on amazon :S we'll see

First off let me say that i think it is great all of the resources that aidpage and aidmates make available,and for that a BIG THANKS!!! Ok,so a little bit about me.I'm a single mom of a 10yr old beautiful little girl.We have been on our own since,pretty much the begining.I have always managed to keep us well taken care of until recently,I got laid off from my full time job of almost 8 years.Not only was it dissappointing,but I was devastated,I loved my job and was great at it!I've managed to hang in there,but it seems these past months that it has gotten harder and harder.I guess I just need a little guidance and prayer...Thank u for listening and god bless!

I am a broke single mom who can't seem to get ahead. I work fulltime, and clean houses, and am going to college. I have 2 beautiful girls, 4 and 8, with a man who is an alcoholic. I made the right choice for me, my girls, and even him, by leaving him a year ago. Instead of being the family man he was blessed enough to be, he chose to party and cheat, and expose us to his drunken anger, so I threw him out. He is now incarrcerated as a result of drinking and driving. Even before he was locked up he was no help to us. He can't even so much as watch my girls so that I can make money. I have no help, I have very little family, and none that will help me with my girls.

 Every day is a struggle. Having the gas to get to work, and school, and money for food, bills, rent, childcare, etc. is just stess for me- never mind being able to do something nice with my  girls. Yesterday I ran out of heating oil, and have no hot water. I try to tell myself "at least its not winter yet" but its not helping. I just spent all day in school, worked last night, and have a house to clean tomorrow and I can't take a shower. I get paid tomorrow and its already spent on other bills. There is no oil man in sight for me for at least 3 more weeks. I feel like a hamster on a treadmill, I just keep trying so hard, and getting no where, and nothing, but tired. Sometimes I want to give up and go on welfare. But I could never do it. I see people on Welfare and in housing paying no rent that seem a whole lot happier than I am.

 I'm so frustrated because I'm trying so hard to stay off of public assistance and keep working hard and setting a good example for my girls, but no matter what I try to do there is another road block in my way. If I go get a second job, theres the issue of who will watch the kids, and its less time I get to be with them. They are little, and are dealing with being away from their father. They can't handle even MORE time away from me too.

 My financial situation has got me depressed to the point that at times I have trouble seeing the point in living anymore. I'm too stressed and depressed to enjoy my daughters the way I should be. I don't laugh, or have fun, or feel secure, ever. I try and do the right thing more often than most people I know. I'm trying to finish school so that I can make mine and my daughter's lives better. I'm so busy trying to make money and go to school that I'm socially isolated and feel completly alone in this world. I guess I just want to know that there are other people out there like me, I need someone to talk to. I don't have a mother in my life and I so desperatly wish I did, I need that right now. I feel so totally hopeless.

I am a single mom of a teenager. I am in need of a job (As a lot of other Americans). I'm not here for handouts or to request money, I am here to ask for a job in the North Houston, The Woodlands, Spring, Conroe Montgomery County, Texas area. I am an Administrative Assistant/Cost Accountant. I have 16+ years experience. I have diligently been persuing employment since January 2009. I had a wonderful job, loved getting up in the morning to head to the office and assist four Financial Executives. I took pride in my accomplishments and my achievements in the short time I was there.Always eager to help out be a teamplayer, hardworker willing to be extra hours to get a job done if needed, always one if I was current on my workload would ask if there was something more I could do. That job ended December 23rd, 2008. This termination took a toll on me emotionally and on my confidence. My termination had nothing to do with my work performance, I had been working on a temp.to perm position through an agency for this company for 3 months until I was put on permanent hire June 2008. I was elated because I saw the potential to move up to a Manager position and they saw my potential going as far as paying for me to go to College to get my Accounting Degree.Then comes Xmas Party around the 1st week of December, everyone received their Xmas bonus at the party. I was shocked and very appreciative seeing that they recognized the hard work does pay off, they see I am a trustworthy, loyal, hardworking employee is how I felt at that moment when I saw the Xmas bonus I had received. Later that night we all met at another location where I ended up leaving my purse in my co-workers vehicle because I was going to get a ride back to my vehicle shortly there-after. What ended up happening is her leaving the place with my purse in her vehicle. When I realized she had left I called her to let her know ummm you left me and my purse is in your car by then she was almost home ( there was a split second when I realized my purse was there that my xmas bonus was there, I had left my purse open with xmas gift from my boss sticking out and she might see it, but immediately felt horrid for thinking such a thing, because my co-worker and I had become close friends, even introducing her to my daughter and hanging out. Well I ended up meeting her for breakfast and I got my purse where she joked she had looked in my purse immediately saying she was kidding. I believed her. Well the end result I got called into my head bosses office and terminated because everyone in the office had found out about my bonus and there was an upset because some had been there years and I had been there less then a year to have gotten that. It was a he said/she said type scenario and I was terminated December 23rd, 2008. It is so hard (I was devastated to say the least)to deal with something like that I was in bed feeling sorry for myself for a few days till I forced myself to get up brush it off and learn a lesson from it, Not to so easily trust people. I've lived my entire life proving myself through hard work, honesty, loyalty, never being a quitter, having integrity. Not being a college graduate you have to do that extra to compete, always eager to jump in and learn a new skill, new software program and mastering it to keep up the times. Taking notes and becoming a sponge taking full advantage that these CFO's, Comtrollers were willing to teach you. I do have great references of my work ethic and character. I have faith in Our Lord that he will not forget me and my family in this moment of dire need. I know he is with me and helping and guiding me as I get up every morning and get my day started in my job hunt. I won't go into my financial woes, because my soul purpose here is to seek employment and begin working again and I have faith and know that things will begin to turn around once I am back in the workforce. I am registered at 6 temp agencies calling them every Monday morning to let them know I am available as well as doing my own leg work, faxing, emailing new jobs that come up on different online job sites (Where I'm up by 5am searching if anything new was posted), You name it I've registered. I have also started to market my talents to do freelance work from my home office. No luck yet but like I said before I'm not a quitter! So if anyone knows of any office work (in my area) or job opening please drop me a line. Thank you and God Bless. Liz

Hi 'O',

I was referring to the 'one year' deal that 'Grace5' mentioned.  I have not heard of it either.  That was why I urged you to check out the new laws of your particular area to make sure it applies to your state. 

Either way, I certainly do wish you the best.  Please keep us informed.

ekikaseven, thank you for your information - I had not heard of this "one year" deal before - I was told that after the sale on 6/6, I had till 6/17 to be out of the house - I certainly will look into this for North Carolina - Thank you again for you post and prayers, my human emotions need your prayers and my spirit thanks you indeed!

Grace5, thank you for your info - I never heard about this 1 year stay - I was told that after the sale on 6/6, I had till 6/17 to be out of the house - I will look into this info, and I thank you for your responce!

Those #%*^! 

CountryWide have a reputation for not always being nice people.  I am so sorry this happened to you.

As for as the 'one year' deal that someone advised you own check with the 'new laws' in your state, city & county.  Alot of laws have changed or been modified recently.  Even if the law do exist allowing one to stay for a year, one might want to go ahead & put their important possessions in storage or elsewhere (just in case).  Many have had to leave quickly by sheriff escort leaving precious belongings behind.

I will be praying for you.

Best wishes

At last.

My Daughter is a bright student, she can always be counted on and never wears down. She has a 3.4 GPA and she is sure the only way that can go is up. Sasha puts everyone before herself. She's smart, funny, a joy to be around, and extremely caring. She is dependable, hardworking and the list goes on. As of now we do not have money the to get her the things she needs to return to school. i.e- supplies, fixing her computer, cloths, or money for gas! She doesn't have a car, althought i wish i could get her one so she wouldn't have to depend on rides to get her where she has to go. Seeing that everthing in the area of her school is not within walking distance, she has to get there how ever she can. She never complains but i am sure somtimes it may get her down. I there is any assistance to be offered i would greatly appreciate it!

Thank You

Hey Everyone ! I'm Beth from Cocoa Beach Florida. I'm 29 yrs old, full time student at Florida Metropolitan University . When I'm not at school, I'm busy raising a 6 yr old daughter with Autism, and I do it all alone.

I started out great in school and was on the road to a great future.  And I dont know if this will help my cause at all, but at sixteen I began doing drugs and drinking quite a bit.  Over the span of six years I was constantly high or passed out some where.  I was so smart as a child and my future was slipping through my fingers.  At the age of 22 I found out I was pregnant and I was so scared of being a momma.  I quit using and drinking the moment I found out I was going to have a baby.  I even gave of my beautiful Newports.  It was really hard to do this to my body while I was expecting but it was worth it to have my baby be born healthy.  I will be clean for five years in December of 2007.   I cant tell you how wonderful it is to say that.  I have come along way and now I have two beautiful babies.  They are now my addiction and I want them to have everything in life they need and a little of what they want.  To do this I am planning to go to school in the fall to find a job that will allow me to give them all they deserve.  I am hoping for help from the college with funds but I'm not sure of my cars capability to get me back and forth.  I just need enough to fix my car and give myself  and my children a chance at a good future.
