Please help me make a change that counts!

 

Hello from my name you probably already figured I am a mother. Yes I am a proud mom but ashamed of my financial situation. By me coming online to talk about whats personally going on in my life. It is only for the sake of my family. We never receive the support a family like ours really need. I have a large family that includes 8 kids. I do my best to raise them they are healthy and wonderful. Except I really need help securing their future. It really is hard and everyday is a struggle. Of course we have living expenses but most of all right now we are going through very trying times.

1. We have to move,It is close to the 1st I am not sure what will happen but my Landlord gave me notice. He wants us out. So currently I am working on that I really don't know whats to come. Staying prayerful God will bless us again. The home has to suit our family which means we need a 5-6 bedroom,we don't want to go back to a dangerous area either. I do have section 8 thank God but it doesn't means I will find something.Also moving costs,plus some landlords want Security deposit and rent.  Please read on................................. 

2. We have no vehicle of our own,this affects us the most. I feel shame behind this because here I am a mom,just wwanting the best for the kids and I am like a kid stuck at home. I can't drive my kids to the store,to the school,to the park district e.t.c. Having no vehicle kills the family. I can't begin to count how many times my kids need me to transport them and my excuse is I don't have a car. Poor kiddos they get so heart broken. Not to mention the doctors appointments and grocery shopping. All the errands I need to run for such a wonderful family. But there is no way to fully function without the vehicle. In my life it would change alot! for better. I strongly encourage you to help us with this because it seems like a limited resource. I have tried churches and organizations....they never have answers or they look for a doner,or they leave me out the equation because they have certain charities they work for. As a matter of fact my state isn't too car donation friendly. I say this from research and experience. My family had been let down so many times.

3. You see I want to share with you that I am trying to make ends meet. Using the computer I have a biz that hasn't made one cent as of last I checked. I market the best way I can,my resources are limited.If I had help obtaining regular customers it could produce some income,slow pay but surely. This is another reason I need a vehicle because being trapped to the chair in front of a computer isn't 100% solid.95% of businesses fail online! In order to secure income I need to be able to get out! Also me & my girls want to participate in farmers markets,craft shows e.t.c where we plan to sell things.  I really want to push the idea of entreprenuership,it can release us from poverty.    

4. Our family needs furniture we tried voucher programs they didn't work out too well,I want to secure a bed for each child,we need household products,grooming products,clothing & shoes. Schools coming up in August that will be very stressful. Most churches or organizations offer a food pantry,trust me it doesn't really feed a family of my size and why do they have out dated stuff? not to complain but people shouldn't donate just anything that has been in the cabinet for years. Food isn't the biggest issue althou the lack of convience to get it is.Same as other items I may see on freecycle or craigslist. I have no way to get to them.So you see we are very needy but I must note we have pride and dignity.

Today if there is something you can do that really makes a difference,please don't hesitate. Be assured I write from my heart. I write at times when I don't even know what my next address will be or if I can go online. This is urgent and I really want change.

Helping isn't always about money.I do have a paypal account. If my biggest challanges is moving expense,furniture and definetly the vehicle which we need A.S.A.P. Posibly if I can raise enough I can make some things possible.I will check in regular here and keep you updated. Trust that this is a sincere quest for help. I see so many taking advantage of others that when someone actually needs help people think it's a hoax. I run into scammers and I don't like they come with these check cashing schemes. So please if you have no intention  to be of assistance do not contact me I will report all questionable posts or email. 

THIS IS A request for a HELP OUT NOT A HAND OUT,I would appreciate postivity. My family has been through enough already. I am not posting this to get bashed.

I am sorry for a long post,Thanks for reading,

Amen,your wisdom is beyond many christians I know. Not that I exclude the teachings of any religion. But your are right about false teaching,you are right about some christians who preach love and look at you crazy when you need their help. I thought I found a church before they seemed o.k but church has become a place that cares not for the individual or the family but for the membership. As a matter of fact I believe I am too poor for church. How many times must the collection plate be passed?

Hey there,

I read your blogs not all but I recall a few of them Relatives,pecan Cemetery,painting tips,Daily Adventures,pictures,Email Pranksters...I left a few comments here and there. Also I made clicks on  advertisements. I clicked to follow you but I don't know if it worked. I am still new to blogging and blogger.

I think your writing is good,the stories are engaging,I think Pecan Cemetery is Funny and gotta love the Email Pranksters. Pictures were cool by the way. O.k whats up with the women thing? I am glad the kiddos didn't see! lol....althou some of your points were on point a few I disagreed. Overall, I see where you are going with the blogs. You are so genius!How do you come up with so much content,I am a little nervous about that. I know mainly I have products and services to tell about but will I draw interest. I have alot of writing to do,just hard when time isn't on your side. I am only one me.

Another thing you said it was blank where the advertisement is? I see them on the right hand bottom. I know I am still new to that too.I would appreciate your advice and expertise.I am trying to get out of a writers block. Of course I really have more to talk about than telecommunications by the way I will do a blog on cellphone service review,I may want to share a bit of your story or link to your blog. There are ways we can help one another.Surely I will need to make other blogs. I have some idea on what I will do,it all is time consuming considering I am still marketing,need customers can't stress that more than enough....with the exception of focusing on trying to get out of this rut.I am praying to get the gas on and keep the electric,water,trash,phone e.t.c and keep this roof over our heads. I hope to have help in all areas of need,especially get the vehicle we badly need. In my mind I hear the song "I will survive! ",With faith that is and use of my creativity and talent.I have designs on cafepress as well just never finished that shop or opened it up. Here I am broke and the internet could help me out of that. 

I would like you to back to the blog and see if you see the blank spaces anymore,I will work on any improvement I must do. Oh yah I will add a pic,I must say I don't have many and I am camera shy!lol

Stay postive and keep writing your actually good!I look forward to being a reader and a student.

Hi as soon as i saw a return from aid pages I was excited to see it . Thank you so much for a positive attitude . I have had quite a few negatives due to my content material . But hey all cheer an good times doesn't necessarily aquire readers . I also went directly to your blog and also suscribed yeah im the first I think it went through. A bit of encouragement hey it seems you have managed to do something great an have mastered adding pictures etc. your content is interesting an by the way my ex worked for ATT and southern bell telephone the antique picture was cool my my how communications has evolved since then WOW eigh . I didn't do the poll on the i phone geeez wish i had one but cant afford it but have a house phone through brighthouse cable plus internet and TV 97.00 A month wow my cell phones 2 was 169.00 a month push to talk walkie talkie include beep nextel hell sprint yuck spit on the floor bad bad never again they r terrible an hell on the add on expenses an no consideration on contact leverage or consumer needs geez i was disabled but no way in hell would they let down the contract bindings . bad news they r sicking a collection service on me now due to a hundred dollar debt ,,, they call all day n night about thirty times a day . thank god for caller ID . I also have yahoo messenger service and skype telephone through the computer being able to actually see who im talking too . oh wow way cool eigh ? Oh one point your blog advertisement was blank on your blog area so I could not click an add for you I think you didn't save the selection directly and save your layout too missing one of them you will get a big blank spot . but hey your doing your best and getting started you can also add more advertisement columns on the right and also across the bottom of your blog page . you can also post pictures where the adds go and at the top and bottom too. check out my blogs you'll see variables where i put pictures and blogs heres my link again to a different blog it shows adds and picture positions as far as content you might find it funny . P.S. I didn't write the described E Mail but I found it so funny it was worth posting which relates to a post reality content can be anything plagarism can be defered just by noting such as to where it came from or something of that sort as I said it wasn't mine but found it funny . anyways yes if we all worked together in whatever way possible we can get somewhere I don't know it all to say the least but will try to help anybody I can as far as your gas being shut off Oh my I am so sorry to hear that an don't have the funds to help on it . Having trouble with my own stability . But a question do you go to church ? I have heard that some churches will help in crisis situations an it sounds as if your in a crisis with the little ones with you too . try calling them if not the one you may go to but any that are near even if you don't go to that specific church and by the way they r really good people and the most understandable too. I see that u are in chicago and they r pretty tough due to they cant shut it off in the winter months so they are pretty harsh in the summer though . I have been playing a balancing act with my credit cards an pay my auto insurance through my american express card gaining points ever purchase or payment but gee the bill at the end of the month is tough but hey i still have car insurance and groceries if it wasn't for credit cards i would be without the boat paddles or the boat an up to my neck in high water . sweat sweat each an every bill that comes in the mail its been tough all over lately but I have realised there still is good people out there its finding them is the hard part . bless ya an hope you get your electric turned on . hey you can get a donate button from PayPAL.com and post it on your blog . its pretty easy if you need more help with it feel free to get in touch with me . CHEERS Dirtdog P.S. try adding your picture here it will help in seeing a face in your reality .

in regard to your medicaid situation - call the director of social services

and  tell him the problems you are having and ask him  to intervene on your behalf..

You didn't mention anything about child support, if you are not receiving any, GET IT! regardless of whether or not they want to be a part of their child's life, the father has a FINANCIAL obligation to his child/ren

as for the vehicle situation - try ways to work they have an office in chicago and may be able to help you get an inexpensive used vehicle to suit your needs ...

 

211.org is NOT available in your area yet, however, chicago does have 311 which may be of some assistance

additionally, I have all the  major nonprofit organizations and what they can help with on my national page... 

I do want to add, that you are very resourceful, intelligent and write beautifully... havfe you ever considered taking writing up as a second job?
