I have found an attorney's office there in your area. You may visit their website at www.mdklaw.net and click on the "Contact Us" tab to see if they have free consultations. Hope this helps.
I don't know you and you don't know me, but I am asking for help. I don't know where else to go. I have had 3 major surgeries in the last year, 2 being the mistakes of doctors. I have hospital bills of almost $500,000, that's not including the Drs. fees, anesthesia, etc. I have tried to get a malpractice attorney but they want money upfront, which I don't have. I would appreciate any help or advice. God Bless You!
Man when it rains it pours some time, I am currently working full time, yet have to drive 87 miles one way for work. my transmission went out on the car I drive and I am behind on the balance so I cant get rid of it, must fix it, well its 2500 dollars to fix.
Next, my dumb a@@ drops something cleaning the kitchen onto the range top in the home I rent so the money I started to save, guess what goes to buy a new range top. 400.00.
I have income but I cant get a loan due to credit. so I am slowly paying bills and trying to get ahead by doing the things you are suposed to working, paying child support, keeping up on the bills, just to many bad decitions in the past have made the times hard. have the bills all planned out to get them payed off in 3 years just seems like the time you start to get a head you start to have things happen to bring you behind again. just venting I guess.
I am a bit uncomfortable but very grateful to have found this wonderful site! I would like to review other posts, with some time to think, I will return soon!
in response to seekinghelp2012...how do you eat an elephant? one bite at a time. the answer is a snowball effect with a livable budget. key word livable. you cannot live on romen noodles and staying home. but you can eliminate that debt on your own con-solidation places are just that. even if they are ligit and mean well the power needs to lye on you. i have done this too. live and learn trust me snow ball that 500.oo a month in ten months you would have taken care of 5,000 of that debt, but at the rate it will go faster than that. because your other debts will be eliminated entirely. write down all of you debts even if there is an over due library book. 1 dollars. to largest debt home mortguage. pay only the minimum payments on all of them and focus the remaining money on the smallest or smallest 2-3 debts say a furniture bill or small credit card. and then pour the savings into next months debts and repeat. i got a easy to under stand from a chapter in the book called "Getting control: the complete guide to getting yourself out of horrible debt by troy flora available on amazon.com good luck! any qestions just ask me. i did it and you can too.
I too find myself in hardship. My husband was burned in a chemical plant fire almost 2yrs.ago. Due to the severity of his injuries and physical therapy, we don't know when or if he can return to his job. In the meantime I left my job to care for my husband. I would normally never ask for money, but don't know what to do. My parents have helped me some, but my Mom was recently diagnosed with cervical cancer. They are on a fixed income, and Medicare doesn't pay for everything, therefore I desperately need to pay her back. Eventuality I will be in a position to take care of them, and get out of debt. For now I need $7000. That's to cover the amount I owe and to cover a test that cost $3400. If there is anyone that could possibly help in anyway, would be greatly appreciated.
Please is there anyone out there that can help me make some money. I hate to ask for money I would rather work for it, but I have been out of work since 2009 when my father died. I am an only child and have two children and I am the only caregiver for my mother with Alzheimer’s, diabetes and heart disease. I have to provide total care for her. She is on hospice and sometimes she doesn’t even know me. I have been taking care of her since June of last year. I am 52 years old and my only income is my mothers’ social security and that won’t pay all my bills. I have degenerative bone disease and arthritis. I am in constant pain, but can’t afford surgery because; my mother needs around the clock care. I am on the verge of loosing everything. I feel like just dying, at least I wouldn’t be in pain and I wouldn’t have to worry about bills. I have applied for disability, but I am sure I will be denied the first time. Then I will have to hire a lawyer and with no income that would be impossible. I have two master degrees. One in Elementary Guidance and Early Childhood Education. I let my certification run out because I have given up looking for a job. I am CAN certified, but can’t find a job. Plus I can’t leave my mother to work. I have 15 years of data entry by working at The Department of Social Services. I have tried for years to get another job with them, but after putting in over 100 applications I give up, again it is no use to look I can’t leave my mother. I really need a job online, but everywhere I look either they ask for money or they want to know your credit rating, which is ruined because I can’t pay my bills. I owe 50,000 dollars in student loans due to deferment charges. I could do data entry online and any other job online as lone as it doesn’t depend on my credit rating or it asks for money. I have tried online surveys, but never had any luck at that. I even tried a phone sex job, but just couldn’t think of anything sexy to say! Please someone help me. I am paying my mothers bills and mine. I am also taking care of two teenage boys that are eating me out of house and home! I need to make 1,500.00 extra a month to pay bills and to buy groceries. PLEASE, PLEASE SOMEONE GIVE ME A CHANCE. PLEASE PRAY FOR ME I CAN’T SLEEP I AM SO SICK FROM WORRYING HOW AM I GOING TO PAY MY BILLS WHEN NO ONE WILL EVEN GIVE ME A CHANCE!

There IT is......................
There it is....is for the many who found this world full of people with greed who'll offer you the moon and then always keep it just out of reach.I'll share what I've learned freely as it was shared with me.It's simple and clear as it should be.No need to go to hours of meeting and give away your hard earned cash to scam artist in sheep skins.They'll not only take your money but, your time and god forbid your faith! If it's God's will I will accept a donation to expand my efforts to reach others by various methods.If not then please accept the following in the spirit it was given.
I.Believe----
With all your heart,soul and substance you must"Believe in whatever you may want to be manifested in reality. By faith we create our own reality.By faith we create our world and are what we believe.Tell anyone something about themselves long enough and the will not only believe it but,will act as if they are.
II.Speak It---
For good or bad, we speak our reality into being.If it's negative...then we mistakenly start the process of manifesting the bad omen by just speaking it and creating the atmosphere for it to exist.The World and all that is and ever shall be is and was spoken into being.GOD spoke the creation into being....and GOD said let there be....and it was good.So everything "EVERYTHING" starts with belief in the spirit realm and becomes a spoken word,then reality.
III.Act on It---
Now a mean,take the path of least resistance.Just a feather touch.We limit our power just using pure worldly force often over doing the nature process of miracles.Making a simple job harder or killing it altogether.The Women with the issue of blood first believe then spoken of her faith then acted on it by touching Jesus.This World has taught us that only by physical means we can realize our dreams.Not only would this debunk miracles but,kill the faith of those who do.Thankfully God is all powerful and there are if not all things mere man can not explain.
IV.Receive it----
You sometimes can't see the forest for the trees.Don't be blinded by the materiel world and how thing may appear.The world and the devil we try to bluff you out your blessing.When things look there worst and seem to just go wrong then,look a little deeper and don't miss that blessing thats already there that you don't see or just around the corner!The rule of thumb is the stronger the resistance seems the closer the blessing!!!
V.Testify to others---
Freely you we're given so freely share your blessing with others.
This is the most Important step.We can't be shady and hide our light under a bush...we must hold it up for others to see.Not only does this builds the faith of others but, makes a positive atmosphere of blessing and goodwill in the dog eat dog world that would stamp out spiritual miracles!
Now go out and bless others and god will bless you.
in response to bookworm2011...Wow! Char, that is so awesome! I'm thrilled for you!!!! Now, go kick some butt and lose the rest during your second round!
in response to Bee's Knees...Just wanted to thank you for your support through my diet, I am done with round one and lost about 17-18 pounds. I am in a size 9 down from a 12 and very happy..now I am working out and watching what I eat carefully. I may do another round later but I am very pleased with the results. I emailed you a one to one photo before and after
thanks again

in response to The Real Cie...I don't know what to say, I have bipolar, Fibro,ADD PTSD,. I don't work lost my job, waiting for disibality, but I wont be to live on that. I havent eaten in a few days. But there is no help for me, and this is bull. We have TV minister living in million dollar home, they are worth billions. They live tax free, almost everything they buy is tax free. Company come to the US they are tax free for several years. who made these stupid tax laws?
in response to totally stressed...Well one thing I have learned to do when I have written a long response to someone on ANYTHING, email, forums, etc..., I always highlight it all and copy it, that way if for some reason it doesn't go through, you can then just paste it in and try to send again.
in response to bookworm2011...Little bit of this and a little bit of that. Haha No nothing new. Sounds like you have your hands full. Tell the one who's going to Mexico to be careful. It's deffaniately not like America in most of the country, to much corruption. Just have him keep his eyes open and when someone says duck they aren't talking foul.The one being potty trained, I'm not touchig that with a ten foot pole.You are probably right about the girls, when any kid and I mean any is quit for any length of time count on trouble of some sort.
in response to Schmidty...I've been around..doing a little of this, a little of that lol
working mostly and forever busy with my kids..one is about to go to Mexico to build an orphanage so running around trying to get his passport in time..the other is potty training..vast differences! Both extremely important nontheless..and my girls have both been pretty quiet this week, which spells trouble in some form or the other..thats about it, how about you? Anything new?

in response to PJsMom...sorry again to you PJsmom, and all else i post with. the page and my wyfy is really driving me to screaming. i try to post and reply to all who graces me with responces. only to lose all i've done once i push the button after i've finished. i know it happens and has to others here. it's just very frustrating. i can't remember every thing i say, and retype it[my blessed brain injury rearing it's ugly self]. and i simply put this thing[laptop]down and come back later,and try again[i have little patience for failure][again the brain thing]. so don't count me out. i do try. PJ is my initials,as well as my sons. he's my name sake[i had to stick someone else with the name no one seems to forget] and after being called BUD his entire life? he'd rather be called by his given handle[Piper][girls name actually]haha. sorry i freaked you out. i only thought it was a neat coincedence. and i'm sure your husband is watching over you and your son. hope this makes it through. and i'll be back[arny]. ozzie says a big OW and it's C-ya for me. later
Hey. That is such a cute dog in your profile picture. I love small dogs. I wish I could have pets were I live. They said i could have fish but who wants a fish. You cant pet it or walk it or play with it.
in response to totally stressed...Thanks! I gotta say, you freaked me out with the "i'm actually PJ's dad thing......my sons dad passed away in 2003. *smile* no worries.......I take things like that as little signs that he's still watching over us! Have a good night!
well hello. nice to see some positive reality. without friends and family? none of us could survive. it's quite uplifting to think in such a positive manor. is it not? my hat's off to you. keep the faith darling. i'm actually PJs dad. thou totally stressed[figured i'd throw that in]. my x has called my oldest son PJ his entire life[i call him BUD]. neat coincedence. C-ya. ozzie says OW.
in response to bookworm2011...My family doesn't like it when there are no snacks either, but I have weaned them off of them almost entirely now, because, the truth is, it won't hurt them to not eat sweets. In fact, sugar is the major cause of most sickness, since it is poison, and kicks the heck out of our immune systems! I'm so glad the green tea and stevia help you! It IS hard to remember to drink all that water, since you are a busy lady! Hang in there and it WILL come off!
in response to Bee's Knees...No Worries! That happens to me every once in a while too..I got a little bummed because the past two days I saw an increase of 6 ounces but then realized that I had stopped drinking all the water..I made myself drink the required glasses today and we will see what the scale says tmw..Ive found drinking some green tea with the sweetner completely takes care of any cravings when I cook for my family. I tried to eliminate boxed and packaged sweets so I must endure the baking treats for them since Im the one who got myself into this by telling them they need to eat healthier, homemade snacks! Thank you again for the support! I hope that things are well with you and your family..

There are a lot of people here who need help so I'm not terribly hopeful, but here goes. I am mentally ill. I have type II bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, and obsessive compulsive disorder which partially manifests as hoarding disorder. I have hoarded objects, not animals. I have 5 cats, which some may think is "a lot of cats" but it does not qualify as animal hoarding. I am working on the hoarding problem but it is an uphill battle. Sometimes I do better than others.
In spite of my mental illness, I do work. I make well above minimum wage, as I make $17 an hour. I work 32 hours a week. This is about all I can do without it making me extremely depressed or physically sick. I also have fibromyalgia and sciatica as well as asthma and mild hypertension.
I fall into a marginalized category. Because I make the salary I do, I do not qualify for food stamps. However, once taxes and insurance are taken out of my pay, I only take home about $1400 a month. I am in an upside down mortgage in a mobile home and my credit is damaged. Thus refinancing seems to be out of the question--no-one will touch me. Between mortgage and lot rent, I pay $1100 a month.
My mother has helped me out for several years with utility bills. I do not eat much except at work. I get things like cheese whiz and crackers and canned fruit juice or jello that does not need refrigeration when I am at home as I do not have a working refrigerator.
Last year my mobile home incurred very bad damage when the water heater started leaking and I didn't know it until my son realized that the carpet in the hall was wet. The walls and floors of 3 rooms had to be removed. Overall the repairs cost over $20,000. My mother helped out with this. But she is stuck with my late father's medical bills and really can't help any more. I am ashamed to ask her for help anyway.
I do not have working plumbing except in the bathroom sink. Fortunately I am able to shower and wash my clothes at work. I do not have much in the way of furniture but I'm not so worried about that.
I still owe $43,000 on this horrible 15% mortgage, which I have had for 10 years. The original mortgage was $45,000. You can see that I am mostly paying interest. I am in a no-win situation.
I just got through paying off a bunch of payday loans that I had to take out when I was doing a month unpaid internship to obtain my LPN license last April. I also maxed out my credit cards. I still owe about $1200 in credit card bills. This destroyed my credit, which I had worked very hard to build back up to a passable score.
I have medical issues which I have not been able to afford to take care of and I have not been to a dentist in 6 years.
I feel very depressed most of the time and think about suicide every day. I am not a lazy person but I have had a lot of barriers to my success in my life.
It seems that if I had nothing at all there would be some resources from me. But since I am working and have this mobile home I fall into the Twilight Zone where no-one can or will help me.
Thanks for reading.
in response to bookworm2011...Hi, Char. Sorry for the delay in answering. Ever notice how Aip sometimes tells you there are messages, then, after you open and read one, it tells you there are no more? I just ran across this message from you that I never even read before, so I'm assuming that is what happened.
I know. It is sooooo hard to cook or bake for others when you are not allowed to have any! But, when you are in the zone, you are in the zone!
Keep going! You CAN get down to the pre-baby weight again! I did.
I can't wait to see the after picture!
Lovelyone46408,post to me anytime.good to have someone to talk to.just joined aidpage for help but want to be able to have dialog with others.take care.bigred64
in response to Bee's Knees...Dear Bee's Knee's:
Thank you for your answr and taking the time to set me along the right reason why I am here. We all can use the help at times and me I am looking for an angel, for a long time now have been putting it in prayer to have a family car for my family of one child. this is one reason why I am looking into the grants and see where the Creator will guide me too. Once again thank you for your time... Close with love and peace... StrongBear
in response to georgette7...Thanks, Georgette. I do think it helps when people can see it is a real need, and that it goes directly to pay that need, instead of just a random person's account. Scammers have been here and tricked people into giving them lots of money in the past. We've lost many good contributors because of that. When new contributors join, and ask me how to tell which people have real needs, a good rule of thumb is seeing that some needs are real and having proof (like when the bill is paid directly.) so you have a good point.
in response to Bee's Knees...i just wanted to make sure no one was thinking that they would be sending the funds to me.i know all of you on the site whom are helpping are doing things as you can.i was reading things on the site befor posting.you are doing a great job with all repiles
in response to georgette7...What I am saying is that money is not often exchanged here in any way (direct gifts, grants, paying of bills, etc...) I understand you are asking for tax help. Everyone seems to be struggling right now, especially this time of year. Many are disabled, homeless, have no food, etc....
We have no idea which contributors happen to be reading the posts and are financially able and willint to help. Sometimes this does happen, but most of the time, we try to swap helpful info, resources for help through different organizations, etc...(usually the people who need help the very most are helped in those cases)
We have no access to any cash other than whatever we each earn via our own jobs.
Many times people have the misconception that we work for a large corporation and are able to distribute funds from a large account.
I hope this information helps.
I wish I could be of more help.
I know how it feels to be hassled for payments due.
God bless you.
in response to StrongBear...Hello, StronBear,
I was losing my house when I found this site. I was not sure what it was at first. I have never been given a grant here. I found out the people here help one another as they can. Some have been given cash assistance by other members, but mostly I see people giving one another support and information. Many contributors have taken the time to research different topics and are able to point others in the right direction for help.
in response to seekinghelp2012...Consolidating debts is rarely the best way to go in trying to reduce your debt levels. Best thing to do is to develope a budget and a plan and stick to it.
Does anyone know of a place to consolidate debts for persons with bad credit. I would even consider peer to peer lending if there are any wealthy individuals willing to help a single, graduate student, with a full time job. I've suffered some financial misfortunes but I'm trying to get back on track. I need about $50,000 and I can comfortably pay be $450 - $550 per month. Please help in any way that you can and it will be greatly appreciated.
in response to Schmidty...Dumb...Dumb....Dumb I sent a message to the your counter partThen I realized after sometime that you had changed your name, had to change your name. I can't figure out why.
All this upgrading that AIDPAGE has done , or at least says they have done has only made it slower and now the one to one is screwed up, it goes to a little white box and hangs up.Can't type nothing, have to go back a page or click out completely. Both of those would surely be a turn on for anyone just coming to the site, it's a shame it use to be a damn good site. Not no more.
Enough , Heres wishing that you have a happy and prosperous new year.Trala boomde a.
Hello Sis just wanted to introduce my self first; I am StrongBear. You have been here from the time of 2010 and was wondering why you came to this site was it like me looking for grants? Ofcourse, with your permission I am asking of you. My reason is to find out if this site does help us, for I am looking for grants too... Please for give me if I sounded bold just wanted to know what is up with our site here? :) thanks for even reading this, close with love and peace... StrongBear
