PLEASE help with internet so my son and I can stay in school

Can someone PLEASE help me?? My son and I both attend Ashford University online and our internet is going to be shut off on Thursday January 19th. We will both be dropped from classes if we do not meet attendance and will lose our financial aid. I need to pay at least 80 dollars to get them to work with me and allow me to pay off the balance when we get paid on the 3rd of February. PLEASE, IF you know anyone, or an agency or would be willing to help please let me know I would be forever grateful. Thank you and God Bless You!

Struggling big time to keep home and get work.

Hi, I'm a struggling dad that has been self employed for years. My line of work(Real Estate) has been hard hit by this economy, much like other folks. I have a job interview next week that hopefully will pan out. We are behind 4 months on our house payments and can barely get by as it is. I really need something to open up with the other work I've tried to get or be able to get on with a regular firm. I don't want to lose our home to foreclosure as we've been it for 8 years now, as long as we've been married. Thanks.

PRAYER FOR FINANCES

 

Dear God,

I send up a prayer request for financial blessing for not only the person who sent this to me, but for me and all that I have forwarded this message to.  And the power of joined prayer by those who believe and trust in you is more powerful than anything!  I thank you in advance for your blessings.  God deliver the person reading this right now from debt and debt burdens.  Release your Godly wisdom that I may be a good Steward over all that you have given me God, for I know how wonderful and mighty you are and how if we just obey you and walk in your word and have the faith of a mustard seed that you will pour out blessings.

I thank you now Lord for the recent blessings I have recieved and for the blessings yet to come, because I know you are not done with me yet.

In Jesus Name, AMEN.

I hope things will be different this time around....

I can't believe I'm back here, hoping someone will help me, after what happened to me last time I believed in someone. The good news is, I now have a job, yet I'm underemployed. When I was here asking for help last time, I was receiving unemployment (and getting more money than I do now that I'm working-how sad is that?) I have bills coming at me left and right, but not enough income to pay them. I just keep wishing that I could get ahead and then maybe I can keep up after I get some help. Like most of the country, I'm drowning in debt and can't keep afloat. The main thing I'm worried about now is my cellphone that is getting cut off tonight. It's the only phone I have and all my son's doctors and therapists call me on that number. If anything important comes up, they won't be able to contact me.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i was wondering if anyone out there knows where i can get financial assistance , help with bills. i am a displaced homemaker/housewife my husband decided he was no longer happy and left, we are seperated but not legally he is now living with his girlfriend workign his job, while i am struggling and worrying about how i am going to pay bills etc. i do have a gas bill that is due today and need to find a way to pay it before days end or gas gets shut off. he left me with no income or money, and he doesn't feel he did anything wrong. what makes matters worse is my daughter lives with me and she is expecting a baby in dec. so i have that and i am unable to help her, i have been all over trying to find a job some where, even on the internet, but they are mostly scams or cost money tht i dont' have to even try out to see ifthey work!!! my grandson lives with me, i do not have guardianship he is 16 and has always lived with me or my mother and now goes back and forth, he does not stay with his mom at all even though she has full custody and she doesn't mind, never had him living with her.
so what does a person do when they can not find a job because of a number of things, bad economy, out of the work force too long, and your older, too old for any one to hire you, cause there are younger people out there with recent work history and experience and out of a job, and you are too young for social security.

anyone knows who or how anyone or any place can help me out with bills and such, i would greatly appreciate it~~~ or even getting a grant, you know i dont feel you shoudl pay for that either, but they charge you alright. i dont know how you go about getting one, how you fill it out or anything they say there are gov. grants out there for anything and everything,

thanks to any one who can help out on this, it is a shame, we live in the land of milk and honey but the milk has gone sour and the honey dried up!!!!!

Mother of 4!  

About Mother of 4!

I am a mother of 4 wonderful children. I have a full time job and yet I still can not afford to pay but half of our bills since their father was laid off from his job last Oct. I think I really just came here to get some of this out since I haven't been able to openly talk about it with our families. I try very hard to find extra ways to make money but they are few and far between right now. I am facing forclosure, my car being repossed, and to top it all off seperation from the children's father. People say that money is the route to all evil and I can say this is sort of true. Since he lost his job we have done nothing but argue about not being able to pay all of the bills. We have downsized as much as we could but we still are not making it and it is putting a strain on us and in turn it is effecting the children because they sense that there are problems in the household. I love my husband very much but neither of us can continue taking out the stress of our finances on each other and be able to maintain a marriage. I just wish I could find help financially or just someone to help us get on the right tract to saving our home and our marriage! Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Faith

Hi all.  I'm just going to keep the faith and a positive attitude until my finances turn around for me and my family.  I have a good feeling today....my daughter and I attended church and then played at the park.  It's a beautiful day outside:)  I just don't wanna let all my financial problems and stress keep me from enjoying things daily.  Like they say....one day at a time.  I hope to hear from anyone who can help us even a little soon.

I have been out of work for 5 yrs due to false allegations of my oldest daughter and a teacher which is no longer working for the St.Louis Public Schools and an investigator who inappropriately and unlawfully conducted a unnecessary investigation. On my record is a charge of Proponderance of evidence of which I still don't fully understand. The allegation is concerning my now 15 yr old son. It was said that I was keeping him out of school because of a black eye, which they have not yet produced pictures of. The teacher is saying that my son was out of school 21 day in 2 quarters, there are 4 quarters in a school year. The teacher was marking my son absent when he was in school. My son was actually out of school for only 6 days and 3 of those days he was sick, the other 3 days he missed the bus and I had no means of getting him to school. I have not had the money to hire a lawyer to take this case and the lawyers I have talked to won't touch the case. The lawyer I did have back out of the case during the case, she has since been disbarred for abandoning an on-going case. I've had 1 interview in 5 yrs which was 4 months ago. Employers won't give me the time of day, and I've been told that as long as this is on my record, they will not be able to hire me. I can't even get paid to care for my mom who has bee dagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease. I have $20,000 in unpaid debts to pay off, two of which are student loans. I have not been able to pay even my phone bill which I end up doing things I don't want to do just to keep these things on. I have to have a phone on because of my kids and my mother and we hve to have cable because of the digital tv switch. We have to have internet so that my son can do his homework, and I can communicate with the peple that I know. Everything we need there is a payment attached to it. I have not even been able to pay my life insurances for myself or my kid. This whole investigation started when my oldest daughter, now 19 made false accusations that my youngest daughter's father raped her. She confessed that everything she said was a lie, there were no charges filed against her. I was never arrested and no criminal charges were ever filed.

Can anyone assist me with finances and/or answers to getting this off my record?

January 8, 2009 I lost my husband to a rare form of cancer called Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor. He battled the cancer for 27 months. My husband and I were married for 17 years and had 4 wonderful children together.

My husband and had decided we didn't need life insurance because he never thought anything would ever happen to him. I struggle everday with money. I get a bit through social security but it isn't enough to cover all of the utilities or to have enough money for food, extra for the kids, or even to get my finances in order.

Being in this situation hasn't only put myself under a great deal of stress but it has stressed out my kids as well. My gas and electric are going to be shut off soon. School starts back up in August and I have to worry about school supplies, clothes, and shoes. In addition, my car needs work in order to keep it going.

I normally don't reach out for help but I have no where else to turn. I do go to school full time and I will graduate in December but then the school loans will begin. I am currently looking for work to supplement the income I do receive but have had no luck. I just need that one chance to get ahead and have all my bills paid. That would be so much easier to stay on top of everything.

So if you could please find it in your hearts to help I would be truely grateful and appreciative of what ever help comes my way.

Thank YOu!

In need of some help PLEASE

Im in need desperately. Every week lately has been filled with stress and constant worry. Thats why im needing help. I have a very ill son who is in End Stage Renal Failure and requires Dialysis 3 times a week. We live in East Tx and his dialysis is in Dallas Tx, round trip its about 120 miles and we make that trip 3 times a week. I never know from one week to the next how I will get the money for gas to make the drive. Then I have to figure out how I will get groceries for the week. I am not able to work a full time job due to being at dialysis 3 days a week. I do jobs for family and friends to get us by week to week, but its been an upiill battle. Its been so overwhelming to say the least. I hate the fact that my ill son worries if we will have the gas money to get to his dialysis. That should be the last thing on his mind. I pray I will find someone who could help us. I truely appreciate it

***I have called transportation dept. They dont provide transportation where I live. Its a very rural area. We dont have a bus line either. They said they can do a contract with me to reimburse me every month. Im doing that but it will be 4 to 6 weeks to get first check.
