This is awful. I have just been scammed out of $200! In the past month I have been a victim of reveiving not one or two but three fraudulent checks. and now, my money has been taken by someone claiming to be a loan provider. So now I'm broke and its no where near payday. Not to mention I am only scheduled to work 8 hours this week. How am I supposed to take care of my children with that kind of schedule. If this goes on much longer I don't know what I will do.
My daughter is 21 with no job(because of her disease) and no health insurance. She has chronic ulcerative colitis and has been suffering with it since she was 13 years old. She finally found a Dr. that referred her to a surgeon and he wants to do a total colectomy. This means he will remove her entire colon. Like I said, she has no insurance and has been hospitalized in the past 2 months for a 6 day period. Her hospital bill is 14,700.00 and now she's facing another hospital bill with surgery. Is there any help out there to assist in the payment of these bills? My husband and I are doing everything we can to help with the costs, but it's not putting a dent in the totals. If there was anything else we could possibly do to help her, we'd go to the ends of the earth to do so. We need help with this matter soon or she is going to face the "collection" agency. Any advise on help would be greatly appreciated.
trying to help my dad get his eyes fixed, he is totaly blind because of catoracts, he has diebetes, and no one will help with a secondary insuranse because he is not 65 or older. if anyone know of anything that might help us out please please momment or get a hold of me. i hate seeing him like this, he cant even go to the bathroom by his self, he has to b lead around the house.
in response to Brian**...I was pleased to read your information and I am hoping you can help. I've recently had a tragedy in my family and have fallen behind on all my bills due to illness and inability to work. I'm praying for a miracle.
in response to A citizen...that statement is over simplified. I got married at 22 yrs old and was finishing my last yr of college and because my husband didnt have a job to speak of - I took as much loan as I could - so it would pay our rent,etc. and I have worked almost constantly since 1992 (with periods of unemployment due to either giving birth, not able to find a job after giving birth our moving states & in with my family because my husband and I could not pay rent let alone pay the payments for my loan. I got divorced in 2002 and my ex was a dead beat and never made enough or had a job for over 7 yrs to pay child support. I recently had a job for 5 yrs and due to the way I was treated I sought a new job and got one but unfortunately it wasnt a good fit and I wasnt fast enough for it so in dec 2010 I lost it and in 2011 Feb 18 I was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer . so now I cant get a job and my ex is unumployed so he only pays $200 per month. So you tell me how I can pay back a Student loan when the deferment is larger than what I origanally borrowed and I cant work and disability takes care of only the bare necessities and not the large debt my ex and I accululated. So give othe people the benefit of the doubt that they have tried as much as they could to pay the loans.
My arm has been killing me for three months, and my ortho says that i need an mri. I heard the from the mri, and since I havent met the deductable, i am needing 340.00 for the mri--i simply can't afford that. I need help.
in response to A citizen...there are people that do go to work every day and then try to go to school and get stuck in some dead end school that is supposed to be accredited and you can not use the credits anywhere and on top of it when you where in school they did not give your work too you and then after months of dealing with it you get tired of it and leave I live in a small town I work every day I do not miss any time there I have three kids and a wife I only make 8.25 an hour even if I wanted to move there is no money to move I tried to get into a different school can not do that either no one will accept the credits I have a high school diploma which does not mean anything anymore and in the end I was just as stuck if not more by trying to better myself working a full time job and going to school when I did get my work I had a 3.8 which means nothing now I know what people go through when they try to go back to school so for someone that says don't go to school unless you can pay it back I think that is coming from someone that has not been there seen it and gone through it for the last 12 years like myself and my family god bless the good people that try to make a difference if it was not for them we would not have anything

I too need a complete dental overhaul. Never in my life have I done drugs or any other thing that would affect my teeth. I just have had the poor fortune of having bad genes that affect my teeth and bones. Over the years I have had lots of dental work done but have never had a beautiful smile. At this juncture in life (age 65 soon) I think maybe dentures are the way to go. Unfortunately!! I cannot even afford to walk into a dentist office and would LOVE to find someone to help me have that "Beautiful" smile.
Toys for Tots
MISSION: The mission of the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program is to collect new, unwrapped toys during October, November and December each year and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to needy children in the community in which the campaign is conducted.
GOAL: The primary goal of Toys for Tots is to deliver, through a shiny new toy at Christmas, a message of hope to needy youngsters that will motivate them to grow into responsible, productive, patriotic citizens and community leaders.
OBJECTIVES: The objectives of Toys for Tots are to help needy children throughout the United States experience the joy of Christmas; to play an active role in the development of one of our nation's most valuable natural resources - our children; to unite all members of local communities in a common cause for three months each year during the annual toy collection and distribution campaign; and to contribute to better communities in the future.
ACTIVITIES: The principal Toys for Tots activities which take place each year are the collection and distribution of toys in the communities in which a Marine Corps Reserve Unit is located and in communities without a Reserve Unit that has a Marine Corps League Detachment or group of men and women, generally veteran Marines, authorized by Marine Toys for Tots Foundation to conduct a local Toys for Tots campaign. Local Toys for Tots Campaign Coordinators conduct an array of activities throughout the year, which include golf tournaments, foot races, bicycle races and other purely voluntary events designed to increase interest in Toys for Tots, and concurrently generate toy and monetary donations.
THE SALVATION ARMY
William Booth embarked upon his ministerial career in 1852, desiring to win the lost multitudes of England to Christ. He walked the streets of London to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ to the poor, the homeless, the hungry, and the destitute.
Booth abandoned the conventional concept of a church and a pulpit, instead taking his message to the people. His fervor led to disagreement with church leaders in London, who preferred traditional methods. As a result, he withdrew from the church and traveled throughout England, conducting evangelistic meetings. His wife, Catherine, could accurately be called a cofounder of The Salvation Army.
In 1865, William Booth was invited to hold a series of evangelistic meetings in the East End of London. He set up a tent in a Quaker graveyard, and his services became an instant success. This proved to be the end of his wanderings as an indepedent traveling evangelist. His renown as a religious leader spread thoughout London, and he attracted followers who were dedicated to fight for the souls of men and women.
Thieves, prostitutes, gamblers, and drunkards were among Booth's first converts to Christianity. To congregations who were desprately poor, he preached hope and salvation. His aim was to lead people to Christ and link them to a church for further spiritual guidance.
Many churches, however, did not accept Booth's followers because of their past. So Booth continued giving his new converts spiritual direction, challenging them to save others like themselves. Soon, they too were preaching and singing in the streets as a living testimony to the power of God.
In 1867, Booth had only 10 full-time workers, but by 1874, the number had grown to 1,000 volunteers and 42 evangelists, all serving under the name "The Christian Mission." Booth assumed the title of general superintendent, with his followers calling him "General." Known as the "Hallelujah Army," the converts spread out of the East End of London into neighboring areas and then to other cities.
Booth was reading a printer's proof of the 1878 annual report when he noticed the statement "The Christian Mission is a volunteer army." Crossing out the words "volunteer army," he penned in "Salvation Army." From those words came the basis of the foundation deed of The Salvation Army.
From that point, converts became soldiers of Christ and were known then, as now, as Salvationists. They launched an offensive throughout the British Isles, in some cases facing real battles as organized gangs mocked and attacked them. In spite of violence and persecution, some 250,000 people were converted under the ministry of The Salvation Army between 1881 and 1885.
Meanwhile, the Army was gaining a foothold in the United States. Lieutenant Eliza Shirley had left England to join her parents, who had migrated to America earlier in search for work. In 1879, she held the first meeting of The Salvation Army in America, in Philadelphia. The Salvationists were received enthusiastically. Shirley wrote to General Booth, begging for reinforcements. None were available at first. Glowing reports of the work in Philadelphia, however, eventually convinced Booth, in 1880, to send an official group to pioneer the work in America.
On March 10, 1880, Commissioner George Scott Railton and seven women officers knelt on the dockside at Battery Park in New York City to give thanks for their safe arrival. At their first official street meeting, these pioneers were met with unfriendly actions, as had happened in Great Britain. They were ridiculed, arrested, and attacked. Several officers and soldiers even gave their lives.
Three years later, Railton and other Salvationists had expanded their operation into California, Connecticut, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. President Grover Cleveland received a delegation of Salvation Army officers in 1886 and gave the organization a warm personal endorsement. This was the first recognition from the White House and would be followed by similar receptions from succeeding presidents.
The Salvation Army movement expanded rapidly to Canada, Australia, France, Switzerland, India, South Africa, Iceland, and local neighborhood units. The Salvation Army is active in virtually every corner of the world.
General Booth's death in 1912 was a great loss to The Salvation Army. However, he had laid a firm foundation' even his death could not deter the ministry's onward march. His eldest son, Bramwell Booth, succeeded him.
Whether it be a local incident or a major disaster, Salvation Army staff and volunteers are often the first on the scene and the last to depart, honoring a century-old commitment to serve those in need, at the time of need, and at the place of need.
The red shield continues to be a beacon of compassion; of immediatte aid, psychological support and spiritual counsel to individuals and families whose lives have been disrupted or shattered by forces beyond their control.

The foundation is a nonprofit, privately funded organization composed of more than 11,000 volunteers in 82 chapters in the United States and its territories. In addition, Make-A-Wish Foundation® International has 13 affiliates in other nations.

MAKE-A-WISH GRANTS 50,000TH WISH
PHOENIX, August 19, 1997—What child doesn't’t dream of being a cowboy? A four-year old boy named Aaron will get the chance to make that dream a reality, and at the same time help the Make-A-Wish Foundation® mark an important milestone—its 50,000th wish.
Aaron has sickle cell anemia, a chronic, often painful blood disease which can be life-threatening if not properly managed. When Aaron spends a week as a cowboy on a working Montana ranch next week, he becomes the 50,000th child to have a wish fulfilled through Make-A-Wish, the world’s largest wish-granting organization.
Like many little boys his age, Aaron loves horses and wants to be a cowboy. "I don’t know where he gets it," smiles his mom, Judith. "He’s just always loved horses. He went to a birthday party recently where they had a pony and we could not’t get him to come down!" Thanks to the Greater Bay Area Make-A-Wish Foundation in California, Aaron’s wish is about to come true.
On Wednesday, August 27th, Aaron will leave his hometown of San Francisco to head to his wish location of Dillon, Montana. Aaron’s festive sendoff at the San Francisco airport will include balloons, banners, and even some down-home western music to put him in the mood for his Montana arrival. Once in Dillon, Aaron will spend five adventure-packed days on the Selkirk ranch learning how to be a real cowboy. Selkirk ranch is owned by the Zenchiku Land & Livestock company and is an 88,000-acre working ranch.
On the night of his arrival, Aaron will be the honored guest at a welcoming Bar-B-Que. On Thursday, he will be outfitted in a complete new set of "cowboy clothes," just in time to be introduced to his own ranch horse. He will spend the next few days getting the feel of the saddle, eating cowboy grub around a campfire, attending a county fair, riding in a Labor Day parade--and just enjoying cowboy life under that big Montana sky.
What makes Aaron’s dream even more special is that it marks the 50,000th time the Make-A-Wish foundation of America has helped grant the wish of a child with a serious illness.
"Having Aaron selected as the 50,000th wish child is incredible," says Judith, a single mother currently earning her Master’s Degree in early childhood education. "It makes this experience all the more significant." And since Judith is usually the one who ends up being Aaron’s "horse," she’s even more excited.
Founded in 1980, Make-A-Wish was inspired by the love that friends and relatives had for a 7-year old boy named Chris. Chris was dying of leukemia but dreamed of becoming a police officer for a day. With the help of some Arizona Department of Public Safety officers, Chris’ wish was granted. The officers swore him in as an honorary DPS officer—complete with custom-made uniform, helmet, and the personal badge of the DPS commandant. Then, zipping around on his own, junior-sized police motorcycle, Chris even qualified for his Highway Patrol wings.
Chris died four days after his wish was granted. But his legacy has lived on in the 50,000 wishes that have come since. And it will continue to live on in countless dreams to come. With 82 chapters nationwide, Make-A-Wish is dedicated to its mission of granting wishes to children under 18 who have life-threatening illnesses. A volunteer-based organization, Make-A-Wish granted 6,490 wishes in 1996 alone.
Fifty-thousand wishes. 50,000 dreams come true. "We feel that’s an incredible achievement for an organization that’s only 17-years old," says Herb Paine, President and CEO of Make-A-Wish. "This milestone is one of many important accomplishments propelling us into the 21st century, and paves the way for our 20th anniversary celebration coming up in the year 2000."
In the meantime, a little boy named Aaron will live out a dream not all that different from that of Chris, the first Make-A-Wish child. "It’s a wish born of a desire to be something—or someone—special," says Paine. "The kind of wish that leads us to remember our own childhood dreams. It helps us remember the milestones that have brought us to where we are today not only at Make-A-Wish, but in our own lives."

America's Promise
If you find yourself inspired by General Colin Powell and you’d like to assist at-risk children, getting involved is simple. You can do it through America’s Promise, which actually works as a clearinghouse/cheerleader for government organizations, schools, and non-profit service groups that are looking for volunteers. America’s Promise routinely matches individuals and corporations with local, beneficent outfits that can use a helping hand.
If, as a small business owner, you would like to do this with the intention of offering assistance on a company wide basis, you can become a Commitment Maker and work with your employees to pony up time or money or merchandise toward fulfilling any or all of the five fundamental resources that Powell (and just about anybody else with a heart) believes that every kid, rich or poor, should have (they include mentoring, safe places and structured activities during non-school hours, a healthy start each day, access to marketable skills, and opportunities to give back to their communities). America’s Promise staff members will work with you to tailor your program so that it does the most good and fits your vision of what Commitment Making ought to be.
Signing up is a five-step process that requires you to do the following: Determine your organization’s areas of expertise and capabilities that can be employed for contributing to one or more of the five resources; define the outcome you expect to achieve; develop a plan for implementing the commitment, including a timetable and an estimate of how many young people you anticipate reaching; put your commitment including all of the above in writing on company letterhead and sign it; complete the Commitment Maker’s form (you can download it from America’s Promise Web site from the link at the bottom of this page or obtain it through the mail by calling 703-684-4500.
To get an idea of the sorts of commitments you might want to make, here are some suggestions directly from America’s Promise: Offer paid time-off for employees to volunteer in mentoring programs; support free meal programs for children in disadvantaged neighborhoods; contribute manpower and funds to the building of after-school centers; through job training, provide solid employment opportunities for children who come from under-served communities. While America’s Promise is built around the philosophy that many small donations of time and money will have a huge cumulative effect, many large corporations are active participants as well.
If you are interested in contributing to America’s Promise on an individual basis, there are opportunities to get directly involved with any of the many good-work organizations that reside under the America’s Promise umbrella.
Amazing Kids
Amazing Kids! is dedicated to inspiring excellence in children. We base this mission on the belief that every child has the potential to be "amazing" in her or his own way. We believe it is through the realization of this potential that children will be able to live more productive and satisfying lives.
Amazing Kids! seeks to improve the lives of children through:
uncovering the potential within each child
providing them with the tools to nurture their unique talents, including access to a mentor.
inspiring them to pursue excellence in their endeavors and to become lifelong achievers
Studies have shown that one of the most effective ways children learn is through the use of cross-age peer tutoring; that is, an older child given the task of teaching a younger child. Why?
When students learn from someone who is "just like them," they are more engaged in their learning. Peer tutoring highlights a "common bond" between tutor and pupil; consequently, children are often more open and receptive to learning. Both children benefit: not only is the younger student more engaged in her learning, the older student experiences a sense of pride and accomplishment in having helped another child learn.
Amazing Kids! uses these findings as the basis for designing its educational programs for children. We strongly believe in the power of peer role models to teach and inspire excellence in children. Unfortunately, our children today do not always have access to positive role models, especially good peer role models. Many of the messages children are hearing today is that it is "cool" to have an "attitude" and to be an underachiever. If children need good peer role models to educate and inspire them (and they do!), where can children today go to find them?
It is the objective of Amazing Kids! to offer children a selection of quality educational programs which present them with a wide range of positive and inspiring role models; someone they can relate to, as well as someone to emulate.
I am a gradma i have 9 grad kids i use to buy them what i could to help thier mother & father but when i got hurt on the job they fired me and went on disabliy i can barely feed me. iam so sad that i cant help.
My family is the most wonderful family in the world and deserve much more than I can provide for them. I really need help for Christmas. I was rear-ended by a drunk driver and broke 3 vertebrae in my neck. I am thankfully not paralysed, but have lots of limitations on what I can do. I am still looking for a job and pray a miricle comes through for me. In the meantime, I hope someone or lot's of somones can help me this Christmas make this the most spectacular Christmas ever for my family as no other family deserves it more for all they have done for me. I owe them so much and know I would never be able to repay them if I worked the rest of my life with the kindness, respect, and determination and inspiration they have given me. God bless them all and God bless all whom read this. David
My husband is a combat veteran, honorably discharged this past March after 6 1/2 years active duty Army, and three year long Iraq deployments in that time. We have two young sons, 8 and 4. He was laid off of his job Nov 9th, and immediately got hired as an overnight stocker at Walmart, but the night before he was to start his new job, he totaled his motorcycle, broke his ankle, and dislocated his knee. Will need several surgeries. I just applied for medicaid, food stamps and a (VERY) small check, $260 a month, but it might be a month before I get an answer. Our car was repossessed in July. Without a car I can't do the work seeking that DSS requires. I paid $14 to get there today, we can't afford to do that three times a week. They told me they don't have any exceptions for people with no transportation. Our rent is $360 behind. We may actually be evicted just in time for Christmas. The VA has been of no help. If anyone knows where we might get rent assistance or electric/utility assistance, please let me know. Our lights are to be off Tuesday the 6th, and cable/net/phone the following Friday, though by then it won't really matter. THANK YOU!

I live in Houston, TX. I don't know how it is in your state, please talk to your hospital, they might be able to work something with you. I had surgery two months ago on both breasts caused by a massive infection. I went to the ER at the nearest hospital (which happened to be PRIVATE!!!) I was in over $15,000 in debt with no health insurance. I called the hospital many times to see if there was something out there to help me with my bill, all I got was that I needed to pay immediately or else it would to collection. My husband and I were so stressed that I even started to lose my hair (literally). I found out the my hospital had its headquarters about 2 hours away and called them. Three days later I received a letter stating that there was a charity discount that I could apply for, so I applied for it. Yesterday I got the BIG news that the application was approved and my account is now considered closed!!! Soo there is help, you just have to look for it. I'll be praying for you.
My husband is a veteran taking advantage of his schooling, I was a full-time nanny, I was let go. We have a 7 month old and are stressing about what is to come. If you could help us, please do! With the new Gi bills being rid of interval pay, we have been struggling! I know there are many people who need help nowadays. I also need help with Christmas, this is my son's first Christmas and it kills me know we can't give our family a decent celebration. We need a miracle, I have applied for job after job, I even went to dental school and can't find a job! Please help my family! My car broke down, and my husbands car has over two hundred thousand miles on it and is ready to give up. With doctors visits, and more we can't afford to not have a vehicle. I've been in this situation before after losing my home in Katrina, and I will do anything to make sure my son will not lose his! He deserves stability! I just need some help to get back on my feet!
Hello I am writing in hope that someone could assist me and my children with the upcoming Christmas holiday. I am a single parent of 2 boys. My youngest is 10 and my oldest is 19. My oldest has been looking for work but right now times are tough to find employment. I am disabled and we live month to month on my income from social security. I get no financial support from there fathers. They are both really good kids & have been through a lot. We recently transitioned from a homeless shelter to our own apartment. I can barely afford the rent but thought it would be the best thing for my boys. When we were in the shelter they had all three of us sharing one room. The area we were forced to move to is not the greatest. We hear gun shots at night and neither one of my kids feel safe to go outside and play. We are currently on the wait list for subsided housing, in the meantime we are grateful to have our space and a roof over our heads. I wish I could afford to buy my boys presents but my main priority is to make sure the bills/rent are paid. They deserve to have a nice holiday. If anyone could help us it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Hello to all contributors! I am in desperate need of help with rent money for the month of October, which is pass due, and November 2011 is just around the corner. I am from West Hartford, CT. 44 years old, been unemployed since June of this year, and have had no luck in finding a job. I'm depressed and don't have family or friends to turn to. I have always been self-reliant but for the past 3 years, financially, It has been painful struggling, some days I just feel like giving it all up... don't ask me what that means because I don't know or won't know until it happens... I need to raise $800 by Nov. 10th, 2011, or my landlord will evict me from her property. If you can donate $10, $20, $40, $60, $80, or $100 today to help me get caught up on my rent, the generous gesture would be memorable and forever appreciated. If you have the means to help make someone, (a complete stranger) life better, then please try to help me... I'm no good at asking or begging for help because I grew up with no one to help me make it in the world, which made me look inward for help... Now its seems that I may be running out of self-empowerment, self-luck, I'm not sure why, I am the most caring person, honest, law abiding citizen with a big heart, a humanitarian. It seems I always give help but no one is ever there to help me... So here I am with frustration, trying to get help from complete strangers and the likelihood they would help me is slim and none, but it doesn’t hurt for me to try...HERE IS WHAT I DO KNOW, IF YOU ARE READING MY POST, IT IS LIKELY YOU ARE THE ONE WHO CAN HELP...IF SO, DON'T LEAVE MY POST WITHOUT DOING SO. IF YOU DO HELP, I GUARANTEE SOMEONE WILL RETURN THE FAVOR, IT COULD BE ME! Just click on this link to send your donation to my paypal sponsor acct, they have various methods to use to send your payment:

Seems like there are alot of people needing help this year for christmas, and i want everyone of you to know that u r not alone...I myself am having a hard time, as i am every year...i usually have my mother give me money to buy my 2 children christmas presents, the money she would buy me gifts with, so instead i go without to make sure the kids have what they need/want. I thought this year would be different. I spent 4 years in a verbally/physically abusive relationship with my childrens father...i finally got out of it last year when i turned him into the police for theft/robbery. He is now serving his 42 year sentence in prison. Thank god. I met a wonderful man who works very hard working 2 jobs, i quit my job waiting tables to go back to school, moved in with him and for once, felt like things were really working out for me and the children. Despite our extreme efforts to stay above water, my fiance has worked two jobs to take care of us and i have had to put school on hold again to babysit in my home for extra cash. Now we have recieved a foreclosure notice on our home, something goes wrong with our vehicle about once every two weeks, and i had to use the christmas money my mother gives me for the children to fill the propane tank so that we will have heat this winter. My fiance has 2 children of his own that he pays out 800 dollars a month in child support for, not to mention he pays all doctor bills, prescriptions, and hospital bills for them. All of our bills are behind and i just dont know how we are going to be able to afford anything for christmas. I know that there are plenty of people much worse off than us, I know i have been much worse off than i am right now. But if anyone knows of a christmas sponsoring program or charity that could help even a little bit, id greatly appreciate the help. We are doing our best here and its so easy to get discouraged when everything youre doing isnt enough. I try to keep high hopes and think positive, at least we have a loving man in our lives now, we have each other and we have our health. Always remember that everyone who needs help this christmas. Even if you are having trouble, you at least have your family. :)
