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.

oh wow that does hurt. but only because if someone is to use the lose of a child or in my case the only child I will ever have. to be used in a get rich quick sceam is very sick minded. Unfortunatly the news paper did charge a fee to do an obituary. So I posted and communicated thru my FB account. I have attached a ling that will show her and her memorial along with some graveside photos in which she is buried at Glen Haven in Sylmar, Ca. She was to be 2 two weeks after her passing. It did help a little after the return of her xmas presents and xmas dress. I do pray that anybody who is using this as a sceam gets caught. God Bless

Please do not think I'm being cold of unfeeling by what I'm about to say.  I can only imagine what what it's like to wake up to a dead child in your arms.  However, you have to know, this is something that has been used many times before, to trick honest and generous people out of money.
Someone who loses a child and does not have a way of paying for the funeral should be helped.  ------Contributors have no way of knowing if you are legit.
If you can prove it, there may be someone who decides to help you out and pay the whole bill.
My advice to you--post a link to the obituary in your newspaper, or provide some type of proof, so people may be assured that they can believe your tragic story.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
You can be sure that all babies go to heaven.
God bless you and your family.

Please Help!!!! I miss my baby.

I first came to this site in seek of some kind of direction. I was a sigle parent who worked full time and wanted to make the best life I possibly could for my little girl and myself.  I had finally rented us a guest house where I could finally be the mom and we could have our own space.

Then on Dec. 12 the worst thing that could possibly happen. It was the day that the moving truck was going to come and move us into our new house. I felt like I was on top of the world. I had anything and everything I could have possibly wanted at the time.

I had woke up to my daughter dead in my arms. She just died in her sleep. There so far is no cause of death and her death is still unknown t why God would have choosen my life to rip out from underneath me. I dont have any other children and cant. I need help with the funeral and buriel. I dont know what to do. Or where to look for financal help.  We all need a helping hand from time to time, and that’s the position I am in right now. If anyone would like to make a donation to help this family, even if it’s only a $1.00, please go to https://www.paypal.com/.You will need to sign up for a PayPal account if you don’t already have one in order to make a donation and enter her email address katnbella29@gmail.com after you select the “send money” button Thank you all for your support. Inspiration.

 

God Bless 

Please enjoy every minute of every day because you dont know what future has in store for you :)

Hello Everyone..I'm never one to ask for help, but i'm a single mom of 2 little boys and a few hours ago i had a call that my mom has died suddenly. She lives abroad..I have'nt got the 1st penny to go to the funeral or visit them. I have'nt seen her in over 10 years mainly because of financial difficulties. I need approximately £3000 including return flights. I've asked my friends on facebook for donations but mot of them has'nt got it. Any help from you guys would be great, as i need to go there within the next 2 weeks..I pray God gives me and my amily strength. This is my Facebook page. http://www.facebook.com/j.jay.flynn . Please add me and also my email and paypal is jaysons2@ymail.com . My mobile number is 0044-7746951613. May God bless you all. Thank you.

I'm terribly sorry to hear about all you have been through on your health issue's.
Firstly may I say that please don't say that your dying slowly aloud.
Life, and death are in the power of the tongue. I had so many issue's in my life that I almost spoke my own suicide into existence. I have come along way since then. How did i overcome this, and cancer, and even cheated death. GOD! God is as real as you are. What is impossible with man is possible with God.
You, and your husband come together. Just in love, and sincerity you to have come together. You to come together in the presence of a sovereign God. Come together, and you both make a vow unto God. Make a vow to Holy God. That you will both give your life to HIM, to live for HIM, to dedicate your live's unto HIS will in the church for his glory.
Offer yourselves unto HIM. Ask HIM to heal you, Ask Jesus Christ into your life, and you will both live your live's for the kingdom. God say's if two or more are gathered together in my name. There I am in there midst. That is a promise from God.
I have Biblical resource's on my homepage for support, and direction.
I will pray in agreement with you for you healing as according to your faith.
Shalom, love, and blessing's to you both.
Mike

I will be your friend

I've been a way from the site for various reasons and just learned of the news of LaKota's passing. I am so deeply sorry! I don't know what words to say that can bring you comfort ... From my own experience with many losses these past two years, I have taken great comfort in knowing that my loved ones were in my life for a reason. Our Creator brought us together for a reason. Perhaps it is just simply to grow in love. And I believe that love never dies. I also believe that my love ones are with me, it's just that I can't hold them or see them. But I sense them with me. So it is my wish for you that you come to understand that precious LaKota was in your life, however briefly, for a reason. Know that he felt your love, and the sacred love that you shared will never die. I will keep you and your daughter in my prayers. I will pray that you will heal from your loss and go on to find your way. May you be happy, may you be peaceful, may you be free from suffering. Much love and many hugs.

 in response to PittsburghMomma...   Hello
You can get a website really easy at webs.com, intuit.com I think is free or do a blogspot.com and google.com free websites.

 in response to PittsburghMomma...   I'll make another call for you on Monday about the Safelink Wireless phone. I'm sorry you're having so much trouble with them. And yes, please share more information with me about your jewelry, etc. I love costume jewelry and candles and so does my mother in law. You're a strong young lady and I admire your strength and courage.

 in response to Inspiration...   Thank you so much Sherry...right now things are going one day at a time, the only thing I can think of is maybe check out my Listia post...I want to try to do things myself as much as possible so I am trying to find alternative things that allow me to help myself via the help of others (the i scratch your back you scratch mine idea.lol).If you know anyone that likes jewlery,candles,clocks,or collect things,ect,ect,ect. I can hook you up with my business (trying to make some money I got my business up and going) I dont have a website,but I can email mini fliers I have made. Oh remember Safelink...still a NO, I tried to check on it and they said I never sent them the mail-in application (and I did that back in February).

Please let us know if we can help you through this difficult time.

 in response to PittsburghMomma...   You are welcome. I will be happy when you have her again. Sadness and depression, stress can do a lot of things to you. All of it hit you very hard .
Oh i am go glad you are feeling better.

 in response to Starshine...   When the door closes to an open window look out it,there might be an open door on the outside... (or thats what we are learning as a copeing phrase that is suppose to help us find the good in all bad things....) Thank you!!! I cant wait...Ive missed her so much. But Im also glad that she wasnt around to see me at my weakest when I couldnt even leave my bed I was so sad.

Hello
I am glad God answered your prayers for LaKota and he is at peace now.
I am happy that you have found housing as that is wonderful how one door closes and another one opens.

Wishing your the best for you daughters safe return to you.

Sincerely,

Starshine

Thank you everyone who has been so supportive. Thank you Inspiration for updateing everyone on aidpage. Please forgive my absense from aidpage, but i am also a member of FCC and in order to stay active to get help getting a car i need to log in and pay it forward so sense my internet access is limited i have been using my time on FCC.
I wanted to update everyone breifly and let yinz know i DID NOT forget you, I will be back soon...how soon,Im not sure, but I promise I will be back.
As Sherry informed everyone LaKota passed away, the doctors did everything, we all prayed and God heared our prayers...yes Im going thru so many emotions, but God heared my prayer and ended the pain. LaKota was called home so God could take care of him. He was too small and not strong enough, and was in so much pain to live here with me, but God had other plans and gave him the strength to watch over me & his Big Sister, and gave him wings!
Thank you so much everyone who has said a prayer for us, Thank you for careing and for becomming part of my extended online family.
I chose to go to a shelter where they have greivance councilers that help moms and families that have lost a child. At the shelter i have no net so I go to McDonalds Cafe to use the computers for a little bit when I can. I guess God directed me to this place for another purpose than learning to cope with the passing of my son. The one pastor runs a private Halfway/Transitional houseing (his church owns a few houses and apartments), well after meeting with him durring my counciling sessions a few times, he added me to their houseing list (normally they only offer to members or family of members of their church, I am neither) Today he walked in and asked me how soon I felt ready and capible living independant, and I told him "As soon as I get a call saying I have a home to move to." Pastor then replied with."We have had problems with people moveing in then violating the terms to the lease so I recommended offering an apartment to you, we voted and....would you be interested in haveing a safe place to call your home?" Well to shorten our very long emotional coversation, He will be going to have OCY come inspect the apartment, so I can get my daughter back from her father, and I will have a place to live :) This is ONLY short term...VERY short, my lease is for 3-6months,so hopefully I get a call from Houseing Assistance soon, but this temporary place will help. I think haveing my daughter back will help MAJORLY with my greiving. I will keep yinz updated when I can!

Hello hanks55 Hope all is well and feeling better. Me leg ulcer and doctors. Then couldn't sleep Monday night in pain so much. Took homeopathy at 4am and slept till 9. Once the grocery man gets here I am taking a nap. take care and Happy St. Patrick's Day. Starshine

Hello hanks55 I saw you light on and now your are gone. We are getting nice weather out here. Finally. By Wednesday it should be nicer. Hope all is well. Take care as I am hanging in here. Starshine

 in response to Jake111...   Thank you for your response. It is a blessing to know that someone is still reading what my mom wrote, and she was a wonderful woman. I will be blessed if I can be a portion of what she was. And you are correct, she is a big part of who I am.
Have a good afternoon my friend
GOD BLESS

 in response to susie's son...   Your mother must have had a great impact on you and I am glad you shared her words with me. Even when they are no longer with us good people are still a big part of us and find a way to reach out ...by sharing her words with me that is exactly what happened. Thank you.

 in response to Jake111...   Good morning,
I cannot take credit for this post, it was wrote by my mom before she died, but I agree with it.
Most of the people that come to the site are hurting and don't need to be kicked while they are already down. Any of us could be one check away from financial disaster, and one doctor appointment away from being told me have a terrible illness.
We don't know what got a person to where they are, or to what extreme of pain they are feeling, all that should matter is that they are hurting and need support. I think we should all treat each other the way we want to be treated and life would be better.
I base my life on the Bible and God's love, and I try to encourage whenever I can because that is what Jesus would do. He never treated the people with problems as outcast, in fact those on the ones He wanted to be with.
People may be rude, but the majority of people on this site are very kind and will extend their hand in friendship and try to help any way they can.
I feel sorry for those who believe that it is their mission in life to cause more pain to a painful situation because they are missing out on a lot. I would guess they have a lot of issues in their life that is hurting them and they don't know how to react except with cruelty. I try to ignore the mean comments and embrace the ones where kindness is extended. Those that live by judging others usually do not stick around here very long, so try not to let the words of ignorant people cause you to be discouraged.
I am happy you joined the site and hope you will be around for a while and get to know us. I think your experience here will be good and you will make a lot of new friends on the site.
Have a good day my friend.
God Bless

I really wish you the best and I will pray for you . I really wish more people would think before they speak there seems to be many people on this site that only reply when they can throw in their mean spirited opinions ... I don't think anyone came to this site for insults and condemnation and I feel sorry for those people because I try to think well of everyone unless they give me reasons not to ... I've never met these rude people and I can only imagine what people who know them personally must think and put up with. Imglad that I am not the only one who thinks that they should keep their comments to themselves .

 in response to hanks55...   I agree with you there is a lot of problems in this country and I can't write a check a bad one but we can be trillions of dollars in the hole. We just have to call, email, fax the ones in power period.
Your mom needs to get a trust not only a will. I think as out here a will the house would have gone to probate verses to us without a trust and mom's house had been paid for. Sorry for your loss of brother and the other in prison. I had a cousin do time in prison long story ,, he was a bouncer at a bar , big man.
Your grand daughter is pretty . Cute too
Starshine

 in response to Starshine...   Yes planned parenthood is facing some problems now for sure, but think they brouth some of it on themselves...A lot of people do not like that planned parenthood using tax payers dollars for killing babies i see on tv.
There is a big problem in this country now and it does not have the money to keep going like it is. Bush spent 9 trillion dollars over 8 years but Obama has spent 5 trillion dollars in just over 26 months in office. Someone needs to get on the job before no one can get SS, SSI, SSDI, Medicare, Medcaid, and so on.
The states are going broke and all the unions wnat is more money. They just dont get it or dont care what happens down the road. I cannot stand the fact that the the Dems and Reps. dont get it as well. Need to kick them all out and start over I think....
My mom may have a will but not sure. She does not see fit to tell me anyting. I'm not sure that she has told my 2 brothers either. In any case I guess she will sometime down the road. I do know she told me that she has no life ins. but has grave site...
I had one younger brother to die back in 2000 and one younger is in prision until 2030. My youngest brother is living at home with mom, because she cannot make it on her own. The home was paid for with cash by my grandfather when it was built back in 1973. Both of her cars are paid for as well so that is good.
I'm just not sure what she is going to do. She did state some time back that she might sell home and move into condo...Who Knows...
My grand daugther ...Isnt she pertty ?
Well I'm going to eat some lunch, you take care and talk again soon...Monty

 in response to hanks55...   Hello
Cats were meant to be outside. Safer inside but they were meant to be outside. Have your mom get a living trust and in the blank trust have her write down who gets what and have it nortrized. Then when the end comes the will goes and the trustee goes into effect. In fact she can start to give away personal items when she feels fit. Death brings out the greedy for sure and that is not good for any of us. My rich boss his dad is left and his dad is well off. His sister is well of and married to an attorney and he dreads the day his dad dies as his sister will give him hell over the money. What is left.
I think in due time is the country doesn't turn around and more get feed up there will be our own up revolution. No one knows what to do but the only alternative is to live with others to cut the cost of living.
Who would have thought we be in this mess. Manager told me yesterday he sees people shopping and he said I can't. Like to see those people save their money as it is not going to get better or help someone who needs it. It will be a rat race to see who can get what food etc...See facebook petition for planned parenthood not to close it.
They want to close everything. What a mess
hey take care
Starshine

 in response to Starshine...   I can understand losing a loved one. I 'm sure glad I have a home where my cats can play outside. They love it outside and I yet them in at times and they are in only a short time and want to go right back out catching birds, mice and just I guess !
Some people can be a real pain in the butt ! Have no clue what will happen when my mother will past and what my brothers will want to do...I;m sure it will be a mess...I will be glad when the warm weather comes back as well. I's 37 here today and raining. A little colder and it will turn into snow I guess. I do not know what to do anymore whit the country going to Hell In A Handbag !
Dont know if the goverment is going to close down and cannot get SSDI check....WHO KNOW'S...
Take Care

 in response to hanks55...   I kept thinking about my cat last night and all I wanted to add to his blog spot I did. I really miss him even though he could be a handful. It was a better life for us at the house with the yard and him being able to go in and out of course me the door man through all of this. I miss the house and hate it here. Only if my sister would have sold me her share in the begging instead of being greedy and stubborn plus non communicative. Everything would have been settled. Some people are just butt heads to put it nicely when there is death in family and she is one. Such is life.

 in response to hanks55...   Hi hanks55. Hanging in here but leg is something else. I slept like crap and went to bed sometimes after breakfast and then by 5pm. My sheets and things look like a tornado hit it. I was bored on the net and called it quits by 1030 went to bed by 1130. Then couldn't sleep good. Woke at 3am so not fun. I was ready to get up and have a drink so I could to back to sleep. Have a great day and thanks

I am looking for donations for our 9 year old girl that we are legal Guardians of. Her Daddy passed away in October 2010 and we are having a very hard time paying for the Burial cost. He was self employed, but not very sucessful at his trade. As many young adults today, he was addicted to drugs and it finally caught up to him. The sad part of this is he left behind the sweetest little girl, and we are struggling to make ends meet since I am unemployed since August 2010. We are doing our best to get thru this trying time, and She puts on such a strong front. We have a Benefit planned to help with this and are asking for donations from companys in the area. Any Help we can get will be very much appreciated.

 in response to Starshine...   I think i would try and get out of that town. I know it is easy living in a city do to access to many things but i dont want to die before my time however that could happen anywhere...But ilike living in country settings that are close to large towns or cities...You do not have to even lock your doors here, but we do just incase...I lived in Washington DC, for years and made good money but hated living there...Well my headache is still hanging in there so will go for now and will check in later...We just got hit with another snow storm which i'm sure is on tv... 1 & 1/2 feet to 5 feet on the east coast...
It is pretty but starting to get old now...

 in response to hanks55...   This is city and even the beach was hit with gangs, shootings and copters from 11AM till 12midnightso I wanted out. It got worse down there and out her is okay but I have seen guns pulled from cops chasing a car at a gas station I was at. 13 cops car pulled into this little station and I got out of there. The bank I use to go to one day had a feeling it was robbed pulled up later to do my banking and cops were there is had been robbed it really caused post traumatic stress for one teller. The bank put up plexi glass window but still got robbed as they were near a freeway.
