OK GUYS, I HAVNT BEEN ON HERE IN QUITE A WHILE BUT NEEDING SOME INFO IF ANY OUT THERE TO GIVE.
MY HOUSEHOLD CONSISTS OF ME, MY HUSBAND, 15 YR OLD, 11 YR OLD & 2 YR OLD. WE FOUND OUT I WAS EXPECTING AGAIN LAST DECEMBER BUT DIDNT KNOW UNTIL LAST WEEK THAT I AM HAVING TWIN BOYS. SO CRAZY!!! SO EXCITED!!! HERE'S WHAT I NEED THOUGH.... INFO ON ANY AND ALL GOVERNMENT BENEFITS/ GRANTS/ PROGRAMS MY FAMILY AND I MIGHT QUALIFY FOR. WE ALREADY RECIEVE FOOD CARD BENEFITS, MEDICAID FOR ME & OUR CHILDREN AND WILL BE PICKING UP AND COMPLETING AN APPLICATION FOR SECTION 8 THIS WEEK. WE ARE GOING TO BE IN DESPERATE NEED OF A BIGGER HOME, FOR SURE ALONG WITH NEEDS FOR THE NEW BABIES. (DIAPERS, WIPES, BOTTLES, ETC.)OF COURSE I WILL APPLY FOR WIC FOR FORUMLA, MILK, ALL THE BENEFITS THAT IT GIVES.
IF YOU GUYS WOULD JUST KEEP US IN MIND AND RELAY ANY INFO YOU MIGHT HAVE WE WOULD APPRECIATE IT.
in response to Anora Eldorath...Sorry so late for saying thank you. Its been some very rough times for us. I keep thinking "ok, this almost over. Right?". But it keeps continuing. I will for sure work with the info you've given me. Thanks again
in response to Clare...THANKS FOR RHE ENCOURAGEMENT. AND I DO FEEL LIKE I/ WEE ARRE DOING EVERYTHING WE KNOW TO DO. YOU KNOW I KNOW YOU ARE TO TRUST GOD ALWAYS. HE IS THERE TO PROTECT & SUPPLY OUR NEEDS, BUT SOMETIMES ITS SO HARD TO JUST LEAVE IT UP TO HIM. ALWAYS WANNA RUN THINGS MYSELF.
I am having a hard time being upbeat today. I have NEVER been one to ask for help. From friends, agancies, or family. Always too proud i guess. well, wouldnt you think that in a time of crisis your family would WANT to help. All i asked for was if someone could take me to get my son from school. My husband took the car to work with him this morning and to save on gas i just asked for a favor instead. Stating that i hated to ask, and it would be only time this week that i would do so. My sister complained that she would, but it could ONLY be this one time. Isnt that what i said? I dont get it? She also stated that my husband is just gonna have to come up with a way to get us some gas money. Well, thats what he is doing.......WORKING! We will get our first paycheck this Thursday, after a month of no cash flow coming though. The money we did get went to repair the car. would have $$$ for gas if it wasnt for that.
God, i'm not sure what you are doing right now, but i hope to understand soon. I'm not getting it AT ALL!!!! You gotta throw me a bone here.
TODAY I AM THANKFUL THAT EVEN IN MY STRUGGLE, GOD STILL BLESSES ME EACH DAY WITH FOUR BEAUTIFUL, SMILING FACES. THEY ARE THE ONE'S THAT KEEP ME GOING. THANK YOU LORD.
I AM A STAY AT HOME WIFE AND MOTHER TO THREE CHILDRENIN NEED OF HELP AND OR ADVICE. THIS YEAR OUR INCOME TAX RETURN OF OVER $9000 WAS INTERCEPTED FOR PAST STUDENT LOANS OF MY HUSBANDS. WE HAD NO CLUE OF THIS UNTIL WE RECIEVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL SAYING OUR MONEY WAS TAKEN. I KNOW THE PAYMENT WAS DUE TO THEM, BUT WE RELY ON OUR TAX REFUNDS TO HELP THROUGH THE WHOLE YEAR. THIS HAS CREATED A DOWNWARD SPIRAL IN OUR LIVES. WE WERE EVICTED FROM OUR TOWNHOME AND HAD A FAMILY FRIEND OFFER US THEIR MOBILE HOME TO RENT. NOT THE PRIME SPOT, BUT AFFORDABLE. EVEN STILL WE HAD TO DO MUCH RENOVATING BEFORE IT BEING LIVABLE. BEFORE DOING THIS, WE HAD TO TAKE A CAR TITLE LOAN OUT ON OUR ONLY VEHICLE, WITH THE PROMISE OF ALL PYMTS BEING DUE ON TIME. WE ARE NOW 3 MONTHS BEHIND. I AM SO SCARED OF WALKING OUT ONE MORNING AND OUR CAR BEING GONE. I HAVE HAD BANK ACCTS CHARGED OFF, CHECKS BOUNCE, YOU NAME IT. THE FUEL PUMP ON PUR VEHICLE WENT OUT WHICH ENDED UP COSTING OVER $600 TO FIX. WE ARE BEHIND $1000 ON OUR DAUGHTERS BRACES PYMTS WHICH ALSO SCARES ME. HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN TO YOUR CHILD THAT THEIR BRACES WILL HAVE TO BE TAKEN OFF A YEAR EARLY DUE TO LACK OF MONEY? WE ARE AT THE END OF OUR ROPE. MY HUSBAND WAS LAID OFF, BUT IS NOW WORKING AGAIN, BUT NO PAYCHECKS YET. NOT TIL THE END OF THIS WEEK. NOT SURE HOW GAS WILL BE PUT IN THE CAR THAT I HOPE IS STILL OUTSIDE WHEN I WAKE IN THE MORNING. WE WERE ABLE TO GET A ONE TIME CHECK FROM OUR STATES DEPT OF HUMAN SERVICES, WHICH WAS AWESOME EXCEPT THAT ALMOST ALL OF IT WENT TO THE CAR REPAIRS. WILL SOMEONE PLEASE GIVE ME SOME ADVICE ON WHAT OPTIONS WE MIGHT HAVE? WE ARE CONSIDERING BANKRUPTCY, BUT THAT WILL BE THE LAST STRAW. I KNOW THAT WE ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES STRUGGLING, BUT JUST PLEASE ADD US TO THE LIST OF OTHERS YOU MIGHT HAVE HELPED......SINCERELY, AMBER WARR.............FINANCIAL
