I,m writing this blog to thank every one here on Aidpages for posting all of the resources that are listed.I don't know my way around here much but I keep trying.I have been to a lot of the web sites that are mentioned.I have posted e-mails to some asking for assistance.Unfortunetly I haven't received any help from the organizations or charities that I found.Most didn't return my correspondence requests.A few was not the correct contact info. listed.I am searching constantly.I did apply at modestneeds.org.That is at least a start.But most places that I have contacted was not willing to help,or they weren't who they claimed to be.I keep running into brick walls!I even tried our local salvation army.The number listed on their web site is a wrong number.I've tried so many places that I can't remember them all.Either I get the run around or they direct me some where else.It is so frustating to know that you are in the worst shape that you have ever been in your life.Then practically begging for assistance and finding naught!Every where that I try isn't responding.I am very tenacious so I don't give up easily!I've never had to be in a precarious position like this before.It has humbled me so.I know that millions are given to charities and organizations to assist those in real need.It has been a challenge trying to find and request though.There has to be a easier way to get the help needed.I realize that they are so many scammers trying to take the money from resources for the ones who need it most.But if you can prove your need then why can't you get assistance before it's too late?Peoples lives and homes are at stake.How can charities and organizations only help who and when they chose?I,and millions of others don't have 45 days or even the first of the next month (One organization only looks at applicants on the second Tue.of the month).We could be homeless by then.And believe me I would appreciate any kindness!There has to be reform on getting people the proper assistance.I have never undertaken a task as hard as this one!If anyone can point me to the right place please do so.I hope that I haven't offended anyone or seemed ungracious.I am not a person who expects something for nothing.I as well as my family have always payed our own way. We believe in working hard for your gains.We just have had the worst few years that anyone could imagine.I am a firm believer in my God.I know that he places us in situations for a reason.We may not know or like his plan but there is a reason for it.We each touch others lives some how.Maybe someone will touch mine.Or vice a versa.Pray for us and we will be praying for each and every person on here and allover the world in need.Well I'm so weary and tired I think that I'll try to rest.

I am 43 years old,I am disabled(C-spine injury),and I can't work as a result from the injury.My husband is the sole provider.We have two children.A girl(26),and a boy(25).Our children are grown now.Our son,his fiance,and their little girl has recently moved back in with us.He is unemployed at the moment.Our son is currently looking for a job.He has applied everywhere!No one is hiring around here. My husband is 44 years old.He started having seizures about a year ago.We don't know what causes them.He has a new job now,but I do worry that he may have a seizure at any time.He is trying to catch up on our bills but something always sets us back.This is the worst financial crisis that we have been in.I am always on the internet looking for some financial assistance.We don't quallify for foodstamps.He makes too much money.They don't take into account our bills.They said that his salary is more than they allow.My son's fiance goes to our local food bank sometimes for us.We still average over a hundred dollars a week on groceries and supplies.I really don't see how we,along with so many others are supposed to make it anymore.Prices continue to rise on everything!Gas prices are outragious!But the pay doesn't adjust to offset the rising inflation.My hope is that someone out there can read this and other pleas on here and reach out a helping hand.I know that they are scam artists out to take you for money but they are ways to prove that the financial needs are real.Ask for proof of a bill that is behind.(You could black out the account numbers,personal info.,etc..)Get proof of actual needs.Don't just assume that everyone is out for handouts.Some of us are really in a bind and do not know where to turn to. We used to be the ones who reached out and helped everyone else.My husband was an E.M.T-I and a first responder for years here in our county.He would go beyond the normal to help someone in need.We took in troubled teens with nowhere else to turn.We took up donations at our church to help single mothers that were to young to be parents,but found theirselves alone and abandened by parents,the state,the babies fathers,etc...We never turned them away.Some were very troubled youths,somehow we managed to help them.Almost every one of them were able to get on their feet and move on.We stay in touch often. I think if eveyone reached into their hearts and tried to help in some small way that the needs of the people of our country would be met.I know that once my husband and I get financially stable again that we will continue to reach out to our community.
I am commenting on your plea for help.I am also trying to get some financial help to try to save our home from being foreclosed.It is a long story about how we got in this position.You can go to my page and read the story.But any way we are in desperate need as well.I am trying out on the internet different organizations and various charities.I have found a couple of more sites on the web that might be of help.The best one is modestneeds.org the other one if I remember right is help.com (That one I'm not sure about)? Maybe these sites will help.Good luck!
I just wanted to update my request for help from anyone on aidpage.I am still in need of assitance financially.But I have been on the internet constantly trying to apply for any kind of help that we can find!I am not looking for easy money.I have really been in a desperate situation!My husband tries so hard and we just keep getting further behind on our bills.He has found a decent job making pretty good money.It is very hard work and he is so exhausted when he comes home because of the heavy lifting he has to do all day.He never complains,just very sore and real quiet the rest of the afternoon.I don't know how long he can keep it up with his health not being that great anymore.I am trying to find a way out of our terrible situation.We have been in a bad loan from a predatory lender.We are trying every avenue that we can find to get out of this arm loan that we found ourselves locked into.The mortgage company has attempted in every way possible to take our home!We just hang on,but the future is bleak without some help!Our son,his fiance,and their little girl have had to move back in with us.Our son hasn't been able to find a job as of today yet.He has applied everywhere in our area but no one is hiring right now.The ones that were have already hired people to fill the possitions.So my husband has to support them as well as ourselves.If I could find assistance for us I would be so relieved!I am not able to help in any way because of being disabled.And believe me I wish there was a way for me to work and help our finances.I am currently trying for any organization or charity that I can find to plead for help.I have exhausted any means that I could in the quest for help.If any one out there can help in whatever way please contact me.My efforts to get relief for my husband are boundless.We have been together over half of my life!(I am 43)I could not have asked for a better husband or a more caring father for our children.I would go to the ends of the earth to save my husband from pain and heart ache!If you can please help out another's need for help.Know that we would never be ungrateful or unappreciative of any persons knowledge or attempts to give advice or donations.We are honest people who are now in bad need ourselves.

My husband and I are in desperate need of help to pay our bills!We fell behind on our mortgage and other bills this last year.We had a car accident when my husband had a severe seizure and lost control of our car.We left the road going about fifty plus,we then hit a mailbox,went in a ditch,and hit a giant tree.The car was totaled!They had to cut me out of the car.We were extremely blessed!My injuries were the worse.I had broken my right tibia,and crushed the right ankle.The surgeon had to put a rod in my leg and plates,pins,and screws in my ankle.My husband broke his ribs.But considering the rate of speed we were lucky to escape with our lives! Mark,my husband suffers from seizures that just started from nowhere!He worked as an EMT-I for over six years,then had to give it up because of having seizures.He could not work for a while until we brought the seizures under control.They wanted him to wait a year before driving again.That was really hard on us to not to be able to just let him drive anywhere.Until that is taken away everyone takes for granite their right to drive.I was of no help because I could not walk,I was in a cast for a long time.My family helped with getting us to and fro for the year. Mark is back to driving.He has started a new job but I am constantly worried about him driving and having another seizure. I can't help because I am disabled from a previous injury. I suffer from a C-Spine injury, and also still on a cane to walk. I am possibly facing two maybe even three more surgeries.We have had such bad karma for so long! We are hoping to have our luck change for the better but it can't be soon enough! My husband has had to file for bankruptcy and we are in danger of losing our home that he built with his own two hands! He is such a hard worker,Mark has worked all of his life,thats what he knows.His dad taught him at a young age to work hard for what you want. But now we seem to be fighting for a losing battle! Please if anyone can help us know that we would be grateful! We have always helped others.We have taken into our hearts and home children that had nowhere else to go.They could not turn to the state for help without legal complications Mark would support them until they got past their hardships and could make it on their own.We stay in touch as much as we can.Unfortunetly we can't ask any of them for help because they barely have any means to help. If there is any help to be had we are definitely in need. We are not in the habit of asking others for hand outs,usually we are the ones who volunteer to help. So it is very unusual to be on the other end of the spectrum. I really hope that people take into their hearts that they are so many that need help! If I can get past our hardships I know that I for one will never take for granite the different ways that I and many others can make a difference in peoples lives!
