I AM A VERY PROUD MOMMY! I HAVE 2 BEAUTIFUL KIDS(MY OXYGEN AND MY BLOOD) whom i am raising by myself after being divorced for almost 2 years. i am unable to work but i am forever grateful to my ex-husband, for his attempt to financially help with the kids to the best of his ability, whenever he can( he lives in the caribbean, and do not make that much money).i want to give my kids a much better life than i had( with no father, no running water, no electricity, no indoor bathroom and never pushed a grocery cart; only buying enough at a time for today's dinner)! however, God provided, that my siblings and I never went hungry(not that i can recall). i love my mommy, she's an angel and she did her best!(tears)!!God has brought me from a mighty long way! He has blessed me indeed(especially compared to where i came from, or when i read others comments or even when i look around). i am Grateful to my faithful God! and that has led me in my decision to follow Him whole-heartedly. therefore, i receive no additional help(as i once could from *boyfriend*). im denied food stamps, so thats an additional burden. i have the neccessities like my own place and electric( and my God i am so thankful!)..but i have no clue as to how they are going to be paid...my biggest problem right now( after turning the cable off and only keeping the internet) is I HAVE A 15 YEAR OLD VEHICLE THAT GETS WET ON THE INSIDE WHEN IT RAINS(A CONVERTIBLE). EXHAUST IS BAD and IT NEEDS TIMING (BOTH PARTS I PURCHASED more than 2 MONTHS AGO, ARE IN THE TRUNK BECAUSE I DONT HAVE THE FIRST PENNY TO PAY THE MECHANIC). AND NOW THE CAR SQUEAKS AND GRINDS SO LOUDLY(I ROLL UP THE WINDOWS, TURN THE GOSPEL UP LOUD, TO AVOID HEARING THE UNBEARABLE NOISE) I NEED  2 LOWER CONTROL ARMS w/*BALL JOINTS*. I DONT HAVE A CLUE WHAT AND HOW IM GONNA GET THRU THIS! JUST LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE, I AM COUNTING ON MY FAITHFUL GOD TO LET HIS WILL BE DONE IN EVERYTHING! MY HOPE AND HELP COMES FROM HIM...and if anyone knows of a Godly spirited person (or if you're a mecahnic)who would love to help, please reply! God continue to bless all of you, and i am going to continue to pray for this site and the members as well as for the world! UNTIL THE WHOLE WORLD HEARS!                       Psalms 46:1 and Jeremiah 29:11! i love you all! thank you very much!

I am a Christian, single mother of 1.  Four years ago I filed for divorce, and my life has been a living hell, with one financial challenge after another.  I have spent the last 4 years of my life desperately trying to pay for one thing or another.  I was evicted from a place I was living and found a smaller cheaper place.  I am grateful that I have a job.  Right now I am facing transmission repairs.  One month ago, I took my car to a repair shop for an oil change.  The car did not start after the change, and they mechanic told me I needed an engine.  After 3 weeks, I went to pick up the car -- they called to tell me it was finally ready.  However, upon arrival, I was told that I now need a transmission.  I had the car towed to my home, and now I need to (1) find another mechanic and (2) pay for a new transmission.  I have no more money, but I have a job and I can pay the money back.  Can someone assist me with this?  I live in the Chicago area.

I am single mom raising two amazing kids, ages 6 and 14 on my own. Both are good, smart, active and kind. I work as a licensed substitute teacher and am actively seeking a teaching contract which would give us health benefits in addition to more money. I have turned in more than a dozen applications and have had one interview recently. It is occurring to me that I might need to go to grad school to update my training and thus become more employable. I can get a reading endorsement with 24 on-line credits. Easy enough. Except the credits cost $300 each, which makes the endorsement cost over $6000. Going back to school seems impossible. I have looked around for grants and scholarships, but have found it overwhelming. If anyone has any concrete suggestions or applications, please send them my way.

Right now, as we near the end of summer, money is extremely tight. There is a time delay between my earning the money and the arrival of the paycheck. I am unsure how I am going to cover October’s rent of $630. Also, I have no health coverage and need dental work and glasses. Thankfully, the kids are on the Oregon Health Plan. The list continues: my transportation needs brakes, not just pads but the whole shebang with rotors. The estimate for the brake job is $500.

Last night my daughter was very upset because I cannot afford private music lessons. She has been playing flute and bari sax in band for 4 years, takes it seriously and practices regularly. She did not pass the auditions for the more challenging bands in high school and all of her friends (who have private lessons) did. She says she wants to quit music. It broke my heart to hear her say that.

I guess that is all for now. I’m not sure what will come of this posting, but I welcome all that is good. Thank you for taking the time to read it.

I am a single father of 2 amazing kids. life has thrown my a couple of curve balls. I was passed on some thing called  Rickets, basicly my legs are weak, and I have been walking on cruthches for many years. But I hold my head up hi, and constantly strugle to maintain a good life for my boys. There mother is a looser and gave me custody. wich I am thankful for but it is so hard. Not to sound cocky, but I am briliant, the things I could do with my life, I just dont seem to catch a break. LIFE IS GOOD. regardless of any situation. I walk on crutches, but am more active than any healthy male I know. In time some thing good will come my way! I have been building and designing motor driven vehicles since 1989.Go karts, ATV's, bikes, then cars. I got to be real good with the automotive industry, and still am exelling. But being on crutches does'nt exactly fit the feild. 40-48hrs a week wrenchin is hard on me but I do it. My mind is exploding constantly. Ideas, inventions, money, success. It never stops. So I ask. Do you know were this mind can be applied for the expanchion of a business. 

single man with daughter needs help with rent got behind 1 mo 650$ can anyone help?

Hi. I was searching for help and found this page. I have a 2 month son, and a wife, and we both work. We are on hard times right now, and can not afford our bills. We just got a shut off notice for our electricity yesterday, and I can not afford to pay it. I work 12 hours a day, 6 days a week, and I come with about 330 a week after medical insurance is paid, and taxes are taken out. We simply can not afford to live this way, but I can not find a job that pays any more right now, and can not afford to lose our medical insurance even if i did find one. Does anyone know where I could find help to pay our bills that are way behind? Heres the Scenario... we pay lot rent, I could not afford it last month, so I took out a payday loan to keep us from getting evicted, now, I can not afford to pay this back, nor keep up with bills do the current week that I would attempt to pay it back.. it seems to be a no way out situation. We owe about $1100 in back bills since my wife had the baby, that we just cant pay. I dont feel like a father to my son at all, because I can't afford to support him, my wife, nor myself. I dont know what to do. Please give me some direction if anyone else has been through this. They say they are turning off our electricity the end of next week.
