We are still in desperate need of help to make my twelve year olds dream come true. I realize that so many people are down on their luck and lots of people are asking for help and their are those who scam. :(
I am asking for help to return my son to Michigan to be by family and friends. Please take a moment to read my post and maybe just maybe someone will open their heart and help us out.

I am unemployed and have come up with an idea that 2 companies are interested in. Patentable, design, manufacture, and marketing. I need some start up money and we could share in the royalties. There is nothing like this and it will make a lot of money.
in response to shorty3030...Depending on your source of income, you may qualify for government subsidized housing. Are you currently receiving any government assistance now? Is the father of your children involved? I helped a lady in a similar situation find a government subsidized apartment years ago. The waiting list was long but she finally got in. Take care and God Bless!
im trying to find a place for me and my three children at this time we staying with my mom but is only a one bedroom and we all caint stay their if theirs any body out their that can help me out i be so happy..thank you
in response to bizzy123...Hello. Do you qualify for any government assistance and have you checked with the utility company for any special deals to keep your heat going for the winter? Take care and God Bless!
in response to jkern2c...My thoughts and prayers go out to you. Wow - I wish I knew what to say and other more profound ways to help. Posting your thoughts and feeling might help with the pain. You are in a different place than most and will find your way to solid ground. Continue to keep God close and He will guide you. May God Bless.
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.
at this moment and time im sitting here freezing no food no heating no electric i arthritis asthma agro phobia depression suffer with palpatations and cant seem to get by from one fortnight to the other and deaf

in response to jkern2c...Your story is heartbreaking and I'm so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine how I would react if something were to happen to my son.
When I was 11 my youngest brother passed away after a fight with leukemia something like that can destroy a family. Talking with my parents many years later, they both said that the only way they got through it was because they had to immediately turn their attention to their other two children.
It's been almost 30 years since his passing, my mother doesn't mention his name as I believe she still struggles with it. My father on the other hand has no problem talking about it.
I live in the Allentown area which I don't believe is to far from you. I'm heading out of town tomorrow for a week but if you want to bend an ear over a cup of coffee or meal, when I return, i will be there.
in response to getfreedental...i tried the webpages but got lost ive been on the computer for days. i cant sleep worth a shit. i think i will try them again after i get some sleep. i think i was getting frustrated on what to do. anyway they did investagate i think some people got in trouble and they all kind of stuck up for eachother its a small town. anyway im just gonna take it a day at a time and hope for the best and keep praying. The hardest part of this whole thing is that i cannot visit my sons grave. i havent been there since the funeral. its part of the post tromatic stress disorder. i cant explain why but i just cant go there. I have trouble sleeping all the time i know i have nightmares when i sleep i just cant remember them. i think its a subconsiece thing and i worry if i sleep i may remember one and i cant relive that moment again. I hope noone has to go through losing there child like i did. im hoping ron paul wins the election and we can get some sort of real reform in this country where we need it most and not over seas. thanks for listening ill post a picture of my sons last day on earth too. this was about 2 hours before he died riding a horse at cub scouts>

in response to getfreedental...Hey Brother ! Right on for practiceing what you preach and preach what you practice. Point Blank, I give all credit to my Lord and personal Juses Christ Gods only Begotton son of the almighty God! I am a southern Baptist But I Have at least 2/3 charokee beings My Grandfather was fullblooded cheorkee I was raised under her teaching It was spirittaul and mentaphyscial You see God gives us what I need wheither mentaly psycatacylic spirityulay than financely
problems brought us all here. there's so so many. makes you feel a little better realizing that you're not as bad off as you feel. there's many less fortunate. be thankful and think of the plights of others. it's also o.k. to vent. that's free. ozzie says OW
in response to kk8585...Welcome to college life:) I have a handful of friends with crazy - get by on whatever - college stories. It's tough to work and attend college, and I commend you for the effort. Financial aid is good for tuition and perhaps a few books, but that is it. I wish you the best. Take care and God Bless!
in response to jkern2c...Hi Joe - wow, you have my thoughts and prayers. I am surprised that scout leaders did not know basic CPR even after a few drinks. This is definitely a cause for investigation with the ultimate goal to prevent future tragedies. Your son will live on with your family and rest in heaven. I see someone suggested church as an option, and I would suggest the same. Churches may not only help financially but more important, spiritually. Please do not feel as if you are burden on them or anyone for that matter. I typically help people restructure debt to get back on their feet. Unfortunately, I feel lost on how to help but have handful of resources that might be of help. Have you applied for any government assistance? May God Bless.
in response to CXE...Yes I do go to church. They have helped me. I don't want to burden them to much. We go to food banks but we get food stamps its not food its electricity to keep food and health. Thanks though
in response to Inspiration...Thank you ill definitely check out the sites. As far as the boyscouts go they did help me out a lot. They helped pay for funeral expenses and such. I was supposed to get a 10,000 dollar insurance policy from them because he died while scouting. Im not sure if I qualify for it though. Also there was some tention between a lot of people and den leaders because some den leaders where drinking alcohol and no one new proper cpr or had any equipment. So while I was overwealmed with the loss of my son during the first few weeks. My mother took it upon herself to get an attorney involved. They naturally investagated with there own attorneys. I don't know if there is some hatred toward me but I don't think they will help me anymore. Thanks for the help.
Joe
Your story is heartbreaking and caught my attention because both of my boys are in the Boys Scouts.I have been reading a book that has information on lots of helpful resources and found a few websites that might help you.
This website offers help for free drug or mental health treatment, anxiety, depression, bipolar, and schizophrenia.This site is not only free but confidential.
This website allows you to print out a prescription discount card to save up to 75% on prescription drugs.I currently take a prescription that is not covered by insurance and the discount from the card cut my bill in half.
Another suggestion I would make is to share your story the Leaders of The Boys Scouts of America.Since your son was in the scouts, perhaps they would be willing to do a fund raiser in your son's honor and raise money for your medical bills and household expenses.My husband is an assistant Scout Leader.I will also ask him if he has any suggestions.Please keep us posted.
I'm here because I have nowhere else to go, I'm a family man that doesn't feel much of a man, I'm in a profession that goes thru to many ups and downs, anyway my mortgage and bills are due and don't have any money to pay for any of it, its not much but don't have it to pay, please anything would help, thanks
in response to jkern2c...I know you Dont wanna here this. But I will pray for your family. It touched my heart. I dont know if you belong to a church or not. But ANY church would help you. Pick up the phone book and call! Explain your story. Wish I could help you. I'm struggling to, I wish you the Best and I Will continue to pray for your Family. CALL A CHURCH, they have food pantrys and funds to help your situation. Good luck.
iam a single mother i owe rent and other utilities .Not to mention a Hundred thousand dollar bill from a divorce lawyer Please help me get up and start over fresh.
hello my name is joe. im gonna throw this out on a wim here because i am out of options. on sept. 24, 2011 my 6 yr old son died suddenly while we where on a boyscout camping trip. he had no signs of illness and we had no idea this would happen. I am suffering from severe depression and post tromatic disorder. I am self employed and cannot afford health insurance for myself. my wife gets limited medical through welfare due to a brain tumar, in which she just had removed on jan. 15, 2011. the original surgery was for nov. but due to our sons passing the dr.s wanted to postpone the surgery due to depression and anxiety causing bleeding in the brain during the operation. i have another son who just turned 5 on the same day my wife had her surgery. he also is covered by a low income program for insurance called chips. i myself have been unable to work because i have to care for my wife and son while she recovers from the surgery. i used up what little money i had to pay bills and her prescriptions. i was donated some money and paid to see a dr. and he has been giving me samples for depression and anxiety. he is out of samples and i am out of money. i am worried about my health. i need to stay strong for my familly. I stumbled upon this site and saw other people posting there stories. i am not looking for a handout i am just plumb out of options. if anyone has any advice or can help me at all. i would greatly appreciate it.
I just moved to harrison Arkansas and I'm tryin to hind a job I'm living with my mom I just want to be in a apartment bein independent plus I have meducal bills that I can't pay :(
I'am attending college and working as a waittress, but I can't seem to make near enough to buy food, gas and rent, I need help and no I don't have a child, if I did I could get help, why can't I get help!!!!! I'am trying so hard!!!
I have worked 3 call sheets and have not been paid....I keep getting the run around..Fist time I was told my paperwork was complete and 2 weeks later when it is time to get paid...My paper work is not complete. But I keep receiving sheets for free work.!!!!!!!!!!

i am a single mom my son is 16 and raising 2 yr old grandson my electric rent is 2 months behind i had to buy glasses my vision is 20/160 i have syringomyelia its a tumor inside my spinal cord !! my son dad has passed our in come is only 459 we need help bad
i'm a single father also. i too am having money problems. i take care of my parents, one 72 and the other 75, and my daughter. lately i have had to miss work because both parents have been sick and my bills keep getting behind. is there anyone who can help me? i will gladly repay any loan if someone can help. you can contact me at tracey.carver9@gmail.com
When the going gets tough, the tough get going?? Sometimes we need help beyond what we are able to do ourselves. I have found myself at this cross roads in life.
My son and I need to relocate to Michigan as soon as possible but need financial help to do so. My resources are limited so I really need help to make this happen for him. I am actively saving, saving, saving but on a fixed income that makes it a long process but I'm sticking to the "plan".
My ex husband is currently in the hospital with a large tumor *3 tumors in left lung and cancer throughout his body* He also has a pulmonary embolism which is compressed by one of the tumors and the embolism could rupture at any time. He has lung cancer and is terminal in the final stage and only expected to live for one month or less. The doctor wants him to go into the hospitals hospice for care in his final days due to the seriousness of his situation. He is going to die at anytime, it is just a matter of time and heartbreak for my child. I can provide information if necessary to confirm the situation.
Where we live we have no family or emotional support. My twelve year old son wants to go back to Michigan where we do have the emotional support we need and the love family and friends can provide for him. I am here for him 24/7 but it is still very difficult just being the two of us.
It would be such a blessing if maybe someone could help financially so that we can move and make this happen! Any little bit would be a blessing and appreciated beyond belief. I am currently collecting money orders and putting them away to save the money up that is needed to move. The UHaul is $989. for a 10 foot truck, $129.00 for the truck insurance plan and gas, food and hotels while traveling. I am only taking what we absolutley must have which does not include large furniture only the things we cannot part with. Well enough of my moving woes and rambling. Just hoping for help I guess is the entire point. :)
I am saving all the money I can but it just isn't enough to move from the Seattle area to the upper peninsula of Michigan. Please understand our situation and prayers would also be appreciated.
Never in a million years should anyone's child go through what my son is enduring and all I want is for him to be happy and emotionally stable with support of loved ones.
From my heart to yours, Thank you for any help offered.
in response to Valery1523...Have you tried contacting the National MS Society? Here is their link: http://www.nationalmssociety.org/index.aspx. At the top of the page you can search for a Chapter near you. There is also a lot of information on this website that may be able to help you. I will be praying for you and your son. God bless you and keep you!
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
in response to halfpintstar...$78 over poverty ... wow, that stinks. I applaud you for going after your GED - that is great! Keep up the good work - you can do it! Buying a small business can be a big undertaking and demonstrates your entrepreneurial spirit. Depending on the business, you might be able to find an investor to fund the project. Take care and God Bless!
Can anyone help. Single mom of two, recently divorced. I get social security disability, I need help with security deposit of 858.00. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. God bless, thanks. I will be living in Maine.
in response to LDKC...Hello ... wow - sounds like you are really trying. First, I think it stinks that your husband is retired Navy and without coverage. I have helped a handful of teachers establish budgets and free themselves from debt over time. Some teachers do better than others depending on the school district. Nonetheless, you are in an odd situation because you make too much for your son to qualify for grants, etc. although you do not make enough to pay for all the basics plus college. I suspect you claim you son on your taxes? If so, consider not doing so. By claiming your son, your son is unable to claim himself. If he claims himself, he may stand a much better chance to receive pell grants, etc. providing he does not make a significant amount of money:) Take care and God Bless!
