Hi, My name is Deidra I am mother to an 8 year old boy who has lots of medical issues. I work full time and my husband works two full time jobs. We have insurance. Unfortunately most of my son's issues are not covered by insurance this has been a rough year on us financially. We almost lost our house (which is by no means a nice house) it needs lots of work in fact (it is an old farmhouse). My son has had some new issues emerge this year and we have had an enormous amount of medical expenses. We are really having a hard time and it is so frustrating when we are really trying to do this on our own and not get help. We are looking at a very major surgery (possibly this summer) which would help him a great deal but of course it is not covered or very minimally by insurance. I will be out of work for a pretty long recovery period (fortunately my job is very understanding) so I can take the time off but it will be unpaid. Have no idea how we will make house payments, power, phones etc.. during this time. If anyone knows of any grants out there that might help or organizations please let me know. I tried Shriners but they don't usually do this (they specilize in burn victims).  Almost tempted to quit work stay at home so we can get some help but I have a good job and don't want to jeopardize my future retirement and I still have pride and really like my job.  

Thanks,

Can any help my mother find, buy, or even build her a house. I have 3 brothers, three sisters, and two nephews that were evicted from the house that they haved lived in for 11 years. My mom was sending money to a company that was suppose to keep her house from being foreclosed. But the house was already sold, while she was still paying this company. My family was evicted from their home on May 18, 2007. It was such a hard day. My mom thought the world had ended for her. Please if there is anyone that can help us. Please help! Thank you so much.

My name is michelle and I am a 17 year old in high school. My mom seperated from her husband during the summer and in order to attend my same high school and graduate I had to move in with family friends. My mom can barely get by and she certainly has no money to spare and no room for me to live. I have to move out after graduation and me and my boyfriend of 2 years were going to get a place and attend college. Means we are both going to college full time we will not be able to work as much as we should. With cost of living so expensive I think that it is imposible. I'm saving for a car and have not been able to purchase one yet. We really need help..
