Well my husband is going to have surgery at 4:00 Friday afternoon. He is having an colonoscopy and will have to wear a bag the rest of his life. My health is not good either but I make do. Just remember us in prayer. Thanks.
Hi, we have bills that need to be paid by next month. If anybody can help I would appreciate it. My husband and I are both disabled and I am in bad health. Please let me know something. Thanks.
well my son and I think we have an sinus infection. He says that is what he has and I think I do to. We are almost out of sinus medicine (over the counter). We will have to wait until tomorrow to get some more or go to the doctor if he can see us. If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it. Thanks.
Hi, I just wanted to post that at times I feel like more of a care giver then a wife and mother. I have to do this and that. Son is out now with husband at our son"s banquet --family and I was not asked if I wanted to go. Husband said he did but they did not considered asking if I wanted to go. I try to do everything around here the best I can concerning my health but it does not get appreciated it seems. Well that is enough of that if anybody knows how to help bill wise and all I would appreciate it. Thanks.
well had a good and bad day. We visited my father"s and step mom"s for lunch and had good eats and fellowship. But, after I got through eating I had a bad spell. I started hurting and sweating bad and felt like I could pass out. I had to sat there a while till it passed, they got me a wet wash cloth and I dabbed it on my face. Then I had to use a wheel chair to the car because my leg acted up it was hard to walk, I had to drag it to walk. But other then that it was a good day. Myself and husband are in bad health and could use any help anybody could give. Thanks.
husband is through therapy colon cancer.now we are waiting on his surgery to see how bad it still is. Hopefully it has not gotten any worse. I am now sick and we need help bill wise . If anybody could help I would appreciate it. Thanks.
I feel like I'm going to loose my mind. I got sick from having to clean up raw sewage in my apatment, and had to go to the hospital. That was more than ten days ago, and I'm still having trouble holding food down and digesting properly. This really sucks. I never should have touched that stuff, but I had no place else to go, and I couldn't just leave it like that. If I'm lucky, it's a stomach bug that will go away...but now that I've done a bunch of research I realize that I may have exposed myself to all kinds of horrible stuff. On top of it, even though the place looks clean, it could still be full of bacteria...and is starting to get this dank moldy scent.
I have to throw out my couch and sleep on the floor as soon as I can get a neighbor to help me move it. Would you believe, if I just put it out under the circumstances, the landlord would fine me anyway? I also have to throw out a chair, a dresser, and a bookcase...that all took water dammage from a kind of water you don't want to mess with.
When I lived in Nw Orleans I hled rebuild Katrina houses, and never cleaned up anything that was as gross as this. I'm embarassed to admit it, but this is actually traumatic.
Things were already pretty tough in my life. I'm very poor right now and have been struggling month after month to even pay the rent on this place. Now I feel forced to move because of the circumstances, and having put notice in, I'll have to move by the end of next month weather I have a plan or not.
I don't have a car to get my pets and things to a new place. I don't have money for a uhaul or gas. One and probably both of my cats really need to be checked out by a vet after all of this. I don't have any money at all. On top of my rent for this appartment that I'm not sure can be considered habitable, they charged me a late fee.
That was kind of the final straw, before I even got sick. I currently get state benifits due to medical problems, which amount to only $330 a month. I'm grateful to have it, but it's less than my rent. I had a little gigs lined up the weekend of New Years, to make the balance of the rent. The flood happened then, and I had to cancel and stay home for the plumbers and carpet cleaners on 3 different nights.
The carpet wasn't even dry, the furntature wasn't back in place yet, and I wound up having to clean up the yuckiest part of the mess. They threatened to evict me when I was late under those circumstances. Given that, how could I want to fo buisness with these people? I'm still tired, even thinking of it- and really it's still not "done" even now.
Still, the room itself has become home, and I'm as sick at heart as I am physically. I wanted to move back home to New Orleans at some point, but didn't plan on it like this! No one in my life seems to be able to help.... I don't know how to manage this.
Try to contact your local salvation army . they can help give kids Christmas. If none is close, try your local police or sheriffs office, they can lead you in the right direction.
I do not know where to turn to but God and someone who has a good caring, loving heart that would kind enough to help me give my mentally challenged son a Christmas. My home is in foreclosure, and once that happens, his older brother will take him and I will be on the street. God has always answered my prayers before and he loves scooby doo. If someone knows where to get help please let me know. I have to ride a bike to get anywhere, and my phone is limited to a certain amount of minutes
Thank you so much for writing and letting me know someone out there has me in their thoughts. Jesus is the only reason I've made it through to this date. Without him I would be nothing.

i feel for you suitation , in times of despair I always call on jesus to help me through and it seems like calling on him helps me alot . I know that there is a god and he will see you through
This is really difficult for me because like all of you that I've read and prayed for....I was always on the "giving" end. I've come here several times but always backed out facing the inevitiable one more day alone, refusing to ask for help. Well, I am finally at my wits end and am asking for someone to help me. I am divorced mother of two teenage kids whom I am very proud of and thank God everyday for. My husband went home in 2002 to visit his mother after being laid off and never came back. So I've raised our kids on my own without his support, which was fine until the past few years. 2006 my daughter was diagnosed with ewing sarcoma cancer and they removed her kidney and we went through a year of chemo and radiation. She is now completed 1 year cancer free and off of chemo! So we are truly blessed. My doctor has said that through the stress of it all (my stepfather passed, and helping my sister care for our disabled mother) my health has failed dramatically over the past 6 months. I've been so focused on paying for my medicine and doctor bills (not to mention the already overwhelming debt incurred from my daughters sickness) that I have creditors beating my doors down. Tonight after 5pm they are to cut off my lights. My house payment is behind 2 mths and they are threatening to default on the loan, and so is the car. My daughter is not really able to work yet, but my 17 yr old son is working part time to help out now that school is out for the summer. I went to a heart specialist today he is scheduling a ct scan to determine where the blockages are and if they can do anything to open them instead of stints. Everyone tells me not to worry, that worrying only raises my blood pressure, risking heart failure, yet how do I NOT WORRY....when I am all my kids have....and my world is crashing down around me? Then to complicate things, I come online to see what help I could possibly get and read about people who are in as bad or worse shape than I am. If you can help me , I would be so appreciative. Hopefully I will get past this illness relatively fast and back on my feet helping others again ...... I pray we can straighten up my health without surgery, then I will surely lose my job....everything..... I'm not sure how money would be sent but I have a paypal account my name is: yesindeedfreeatlast@yahoo.com Thank you for anything you can give, money, prayers, well wishes, ideas, support.
Hello to everyone that is struggling with some kind of worldly issue,I feel your pain,and I can surely say you are not in this alone,during these holidays.I have been told many of times by the prophet I go to church with ,that God was going to bless me to be a millionare,and you know what I believe in God ,and I am on my way towards that goal.But I want to say to all the hurt,the poor,and the sick,and shut in,that its not over until God says it is.And to tell you the truth ,I will be checking this list of names,and families,everyday to see who God would have me to be a blessing to.I love each and everyone of you all,I dont have to know you to love you,I have the love of christ,so he tells us to share that all around the world,even to our enemies.Once again I really do pray for this world as a whole,and I feel sometimes,this country needs to look a little harder,and they will see that being in this country we still have love ones,and families,that need more support,than what they give out.And for the billionares,and all the ones that are making the mighty dollar,I pray that the lord bless you to be a blessing to all the ones that really need help in there time of need,because it seems like we need a heart of obedience,from God to let us know to bless these prescious people of God,because we all Gods chilren.So from now on if we fall on our knees,and pray, God will surely make a way.May God Bless everyone that Read this.
Hi depleted mom ,
It seems that when we encounter difficulties , our government programs let us down . We need a huge push towards reform in this country in the area of health care. Of course , you don't need me to tell you that ,as you are in the middle of it.
If you try the page below , there are some programs that may help. I really wish I was rich in money sometimes so that I could share with my fellow sufferers in the Social Security mess.
I will keep you in my prayers !

September 2006, I was diagnosed with kidney failure and began dialysis. Within a month after starting dialysis, I found myself unable to perform neccesary jon functions of my job and was fired. I began looking for other work and had 2 interviews which looked very promising, but was unable to get a job offer due to my dialysis schedule and the companies wanted someone that would be able to work without requesting alot of time off. I applied for Disability and SSI and was awarded from SSI $305.50 a month and would begin receiving Disability in June 2007. Even though my wife works, we have used all savings and now are looking at being evicted and losing all utilities. My wife has had to put my family on her insurance and is paying $125 per week for insurance, and she is now bringing home about $150 per week. Raising 3 children,ages 2,12,and 16, and bringing home about $900 per month, it is very hard to provide needed things for the children, provide needed medications for my wife and myself( which currently runs $350 per month), and pay all the bills. We are trying to get through June, when my SSDI payments will start and I have tried all of the State programs in South Carolina, but I really do not see how my family will be able to survive or have a place to live until then.
I have applied last week at Vocational Rehabilitation and they have told me that I would get in for a consultation toward the end of April,but that really does not help the current situation. I have spoken with many of the churches in the area, but they do not have the funds due to massive layoffs in the textile industry in the area. I have even been working with my Social Worker at the dialysis center, but she is clueless and I have found out about programs using my computer and she has been very little help.
I want to work and provide for my family. I would do anything to work and provide for my family, but no one is willing to give me a chance to work. Even though I have a illness, I do not want this illness to affect my family any more than it already has and I am willing to do anything to support my family. Is there any programs out there can help me any type of loans that I could obtain to help reduce the amount of debt until I am able to obtain a job and work. Thanks.
Please help my grandson & me! I have Lupus & Rheumatoid Arthritis and Bi-Polar depression.. Even my grandson who lives with me has severe Asthma. We need your help due to unexpected repairs on my car that is 20 years old. Now we are behind on our utilities. I am afraid that my trash service, electric & phone will be disconnected. Please find it in your heart to help! If you do it will be an answer to my many prayers!!

very sweet website, but it doesn`t have anything to do with my problem. Also, I`ve tried animal insurance agencies but they won`t take on a cat that is already sick. And ofcourse, the emergency animal health lines tell me they can`t help either.

My cat has been through a lot. Coming to me after being a shelter cat, I can`t even pretend to know the hardships she had before I rescued her 8 years ago. She is now 12 years old, and has a deadly disease.
I must have gone through half a dozen vets, all of them telling me that they "arent quite sure if there`s anything wrong with her". They ran full diagnosis test, including blood, urine, fecese x-rays, you name it. Nothing! I must have spent over $3,000 on this, and noone is telling me exactly what is wrong. Until recently. Cryptoccus Neoformans- an extremely rare and DEADLY disease which is contracted from a fungus in PIGEON DROPPINGS... now that makes NO sense whatsoever since my cat is strictly an indoor cat and has NO contact with any other animals.
The cost of this medication is extreme. I got laid off and can barely make enough to feed us right now- especially with all the costs of just finding out the diagnosis. I don`t want my cat to suffer- she has constant diarreah, breaths SO heavily, coughs, and now there`s blood in her stool. I don`t want to put her to sleep. I love her, care about her, and need desperately for us to get through this illness so she can continue to be her normal affectionate spunky self. I just need enough to pay for her 2 month supply(over $700), and then after that i`m pretty sure i`ll have another job and be back on my feet enough to pay for any other costs.
Please Please Please help us! I`m mortified that I might lose my best friend just because I can`t pay for her medication. Anything would help greatly, and would be very appreciated. You can contact me at slana497@aol.com
I'm a single mother, that will be having surgry in the next few weeks. I have been sick the past few months and the doctor has finally found the problem. I have chronic sphenoid sinutitus, which causes fungus to grow in the sinus. It has caused fatiuge, migraine type headaches, fever, soreness, and vision problems. I have been trying to work and go to school still, but have gotten behind on a few things due to doctor bills(medications and office visits). Any help would be appriciated.
