PLEASE CAN SOME ONE HELP US!!!
I just don't know what to do...my husband and I are now separated...My daughter and I spent 5 weeks last summer living in a Betty Griffith Shelter due to a threat against her by her Father. I am awaiting decision on Disability for myself and my daughter...I am recently returned part-time to work after a 3 month hospitalization...I have a major $500.00 repair necessary due YESTERDAY on the car that gets me to work and my 12 year old to school...I had a minor accident with the car and did severe damage to the undercarriage...so NOW it is an emergency repair!!! I get 150.00 weekly from my husband and $200.00 more bi-weekly as child support...and once I get my 1st paycheck in over 10 weeks it will be only about $420.00 for this one...after that I expect to get about $500.00 bi-weekly as MY pay plus the hopefully informal continued additional spousal and child support...I have exhausted the help available to me from Catholic Charities, The Welfare Federation, United Way, The Salvation Army, local Food Banks, and Social Services...I have major medical bills which I am now informed that DCF MAY help with using the SHARE OF COST Programs...and we ARE now going to be entitled to $255.00 monthly in Food Stamps once our new card comes...in the meanwhile I have $500.00 in major emergent car repairs and our regular living expenses ALL due with very little hope in the way of paying them...PLEASE HELP US!!!
I am so afraid that now we will lose everything if SOMEthing doesn't happen soon...like in the next week...and yet...it seems as if we are just SO CLOSE to having things FINALLY begin to come together if only we can just hold it together for a bit longer!!! PLEASE PLEASE HELP US!!!

Sadly the rounded $500 number sounds too simple. Repair bills are rarely $250, $500, $750, $1,000. Most of the time it's something like $418.92, etc. And asking for money on Yahoo Answers is desperate, but this is the Internet where people are cheated ALL THE TIME. Yes, I would love to help you, but I wouldn't even give you my real email address for fear of the SPAM a scam artist might deliver unto me.
You need to hit the streets if you need money this badly. No one in their right mind is going to send you $500 from what you've written. And note, I am not saying your stroy is not true, but it is highly unlikely.
I wish you well, and if your intentions are well and you hit the streets, you will find the money.

The only way I can help is to suggest you find a budget counsellor, as any short term help will not suffice. You need at least an 8 week forward budget worked out with this person, who in addition to this, should be able to set up a periodic payment program with your bank and contact those to whom you are indebted. If they believe you may go bankrupt if not given some time to pay and you are prepared to go into some agreement with them, the intervention of the counsellor may be of some help...

I am no spiritualist. But the advice I have for you is the best. Cry out to God. When your cry touches the heart of God. God will bless you. Meanwhile don't get desperate. Keep your head cool. There is no way you can get organized in a state of worry. You are not the only one in a desperate state. There are millions others. Not all are living in quiet desperation. When you act correctly, your act will get you your wants. All the time remembering; "God is your keeper, and not the Organizations that you are depending on now". Don't worry, be happy.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. How desperate are you?
Go buy a couple of bottles of Windex or cheap window cleaner and a few rolls of paper towels. In the daytime, when businesses are open, you and your daughter can go around town and offer to wash store windows or car windows for a donation. It could be that one of the business owners might be interested in helping you or giving you some part-time work for cash that would help you get the car paid for quicker.
Go back to the shelter and tell them your situation. Maybe they can give you advice. I hope so.

There are millions of people suffering thalmost the same fate as you are having now, and maybe even more.
life's problems is an incoherent part of life. What makes the difference is on how you deal with problems.
I really wiah I can help you financially but I myself is broke.
But one thing I want to tell, lift everything to God in prayer and he'll surely help you carry the burdens. If you accept him as your Lord and savior of your life you will have a different perspective in life, you'll have peace and you'll feel joy deep within your hearts even during this times of turmoil.

Heeey I just saw this stuff on the news the other day. People who make websites and cry out for help from others...
Screech from Saved by the Bell did this except he sold t-shirts to help pay for his home or something.
Sorry I think this is crazy I agree with the others, why do you have a computer??? Interesting...
There are other ways to get out of debt!
McDonalds ALWAYS hires...

im sorry i cant do much to help. im a kid with not much money so i can't help you out financially. all i can offer are these words of encouragement. im agnostic really but i will still pray for you just not to any god. i will pray for an angel to come forward and send you a mirical. those i do believe in. until then try carpooling to work and carpooling your daughter to school. if you ask around and talk to people they should understand and help you out. but stay strong and dont ever give up hope. keep fighting and keep believeing because if you only hold out a bit longer it does seem that things will start to turn out okay like you said. and dont give up. keep trekking on if not for you then for your daughter. you can do it. i have faith in you.

the best thing for you to do is to go to another church and ask them for help. do you not have any family around that will help you through this rough time? how about friends that you have had for years? perhaps your daughter can take a bus back and forth. usually in shelters they do not release you out on your own with out help. you need to go to talk to the state again and tell them your situation. make sure that you apply for housing assistence. get your daughterr enrolled in some sort of after school activity to help you out. i am sorry for your situation.

You should contact the social services department in the town you are living in to see what they can do to help. My thoughts and prayers are with you. It will all come together.
