About JustMe78901

Hi, I am here trying to find help.  I was deployeed twice in support of Operation Iraq Freedom.  Due to the stress of the deployements I have seperated from my husband.  I am looking for a job currently in a town that has a high unemployement rate.  I am behind on my truck payments now.  I am taking care of my Son...(who is actually my soon to be X husbands son from a previous marriage) and he doesnt help at all with him.  I let him keep the house so my son would have a roof over his head.  I am also trying to take care of my 86 year old grandmother and keep people away from her that do not have her best intrest at heart.  I just feel like my life is spiralling out of control and I don't know what to do.  I want to give up but I have to think about my son.  Please if anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate them.  I go to the employement office everyday and have posted many resume's with buisness.  I am at my witts end.  I can't keep going like this.

Small Family Business is What We Really Need and Dream about...

Hi,

My name is Dmitriy. I live in Ukraine. I am somewhat embarrassed to ask for help as I never asked anything from unknown people. But I feel that the future situation in my family will compel me to do this.

My wife will give birth to a baby soon. I am very happy about this. God willingly, we’ll have a healthy child. But there is something I can’t get out of my head. I do not earn enough to fully support my family now (unfortunately this is a common situation in our country). My wife has vegetative-vascular dystonia (not serious but rather bothering disease, and our government does not support people who suffer from this disease) and that’s why she cannot work full time as she gets tired rather fast and has frequent head aches. She used to give English lessons for children at home and at a couple of kindergartens owned by local machine building plant (this job brought some little but good profit for us). She could work as little as three hours per day. But today the kindergartens are placed under the State’s control and my wife has little chances to resume her work there without a special license. So we dream about opening our own home based English teaching school and then probably a kind of daycare. We want sell one-room apartment on the fifth floor and buy a two-room apartment on the ground floor where we could make a repair to turn one room into a classroom to expand our business, receive small business license and pay taxes necessary to have pension when we are old. We will definitely need money for apartment exchange and repair. We will also need textbooks and other educational stuff to teach English which is very difficult to get in our country. I do not know what to do as my current job does not provide any possibility for brining the above stated dream (which has turned into essential need) into life and I cannot find a better job.

I would appreciate any help, tips or advice on what we should do to raise funds to open this family business in order to financially support our family.

May God bless all good people!

Hi after reading some of these posts I did not realize there was such an organization like this out there. My son has severe ADHD, asthma, has a urinary condition (passes crystals) and other medical conditions.  I as well have medical conditions but fortunately am employed forever and have good health and other benefits. I have recently been diagnosed with Lupus. I have other pre-existing ailments including the need for back and neck surgery, endopmetriosis, prek-cancer cells, as well as being a severe asthamtic and other ailments. We have health insurance through my employment. I pay for my son's own insurance but my employer pays for mine.  I know we could not get regular insurance because of our pre-exisitng conditions.  However, I do not know how much longer I can stay employed due to my current health status and am seriously considering filing for SSI. I have paid extra w/ deductions from my salary for long and short term disabililty which would cover 60%of  my salary until SSI disabilty kicks in but am afraid to discuss any of this with my HR department out of fear of being fired or as they may label it "laid off" and the other issue is if these are considered preexisting and there is some loophole to get out of it.  I know i will need a good attorney because 9 out 10 folks are generally denied when the file for disability the first time or at least the folks that i know were. IF if file and win, would my son get health insurance through my disabililty and medicaid? I believe i myself would get both disabilitly and health coverage through medicaid but I do not know if my son would.  We are both high risk and would both not easily find health insurance on our own because we have so many pre-existing health conditions. We are only able to get this through a group policy.  Does anyone know if he would be entitled to health benefits i filed and if i married would my spouse be entitled to medical insurance and some sort of payment for caring for me? I need questions answered and need financial assistance but don't know where to turn.Both my son's and my medicines and doctor copays often exceed our budget and we are always juggling bills.  Anyone out there with good advice? I try daily to get to work to keep my job out of fear of losing it and not having health coverage but every day gets harder to function, less sleep more pain, difficulty in breathing, anxiety and really troubled.  I need good advice and possibly a good Disability Attorney in the Central Florida area.  THank you and God Bless.

Need avice

 Right now it is May 31st 2010, not sure why it says posted February 2009.

I started a new job 2 weeks ago and I am so grateful for that because I've been out of work for 3 months now. However, since my pay is being held back, I won't get paid until June 15th and my daughters and I have gone through the tax returns. I'll be paid twice a month. Right now, I need a way to earn around $300 to $400 fast so that I can pay a few bills that I'm falling behind on and take care of my 2 daughters until I get my pay check. Any suggestions? I can't get a loan because I haven't been with my job long enough. I've tried. I would appreciate any advice. Thank you.

hi, I need advice, my sister has not relied on herself or her husband to provide thier way in life since they have been married they have lived off of the family and the government. The problem with them relying on family started when they got in trouble with the law so they were kicked off of section 8 they lost the home they were in and almost lost thier kids. Her husband didnt work for five years, just because. He is a young 29 year old man and is fully capible of working but choose not to. Now that they got kicked off assistance he had to get a job but lost it for several reasons including not coming in and loosing his temper. My husband and I put up a deposit to get in the rental they are currently living in and paid 2 months rent for them we also put a 3,000. down on a car for them but they lost it 3 months later for not paying the payments. My mother and other sister have paid the electric bill several time and I have paid the phone bill since they have lived there a little over a year. Now he has no job they are needing even more money for the rent, electric, food and phone I have helped with rent, phone and giving them money here and there, but I am so tired of forking out money. They both sleep until 1-2 in the afternoon and he has been out of work for 7 weeks now. Its getting hard to feel sorry for him. His family has nothing to do with him he already burnt that bridge, so he cant turn to them for help. I have made a desision to not give them anymore money. I feel that its hurting them more then helping. My sister and I are very close and I love her to pieces and Im not sure how to help anymore so if anyone out there knows what to do please help!!!

Mother of 1 looking for a way out of this mess!

Hello, my names Tamara, I live in CT, I'm 21, married, Mother of a baby whose almost 1, and we are hanging in by a thread.

In July of 2006 I quit my job, and a month later I found out that I was pregnant. My then fiancee and I scrambled up every penny we had to move in with my Sister accross the country, and instead of helping us she squeezed almost every last penny out of us (2,000 my fiancee got from a car accident), my fiancee, soon became husband (we got married sooner because Medicaid would have tried slamming him with child support, which wouldn't of helped us at all) got a job at Wendy's that only lasted a month, thankfully Medicaid paid for the birth of our child and all our other Doctor bills, soon after, with $500 left, we moved in with my Mother.

My husband, with no where else to turn joined the Army, and left to Basic Training only two months after the birth of our Son. There, he had a seizure, and we have no idea what caused it because they didn't bother finding out why he had one, but rather got him out as soon as they could, after dignosing him with major depressive disorder (which is a unipolar disorder).

Because of my husband being medically discharged from the Army, my Mother gave us one option, move out immediately... so we were forced to use a good chunk of his 1 month paycheck from the Army to move back to CT and live with my husbands parents, here we had to buy baby stuff (only necessities: crib, clothes).

Here we got on Medicaid again, on WIC, but can not get Foodstamps until my husband is 22 because we live with his parents (which is in June), and our case worker has us running in circles to get Cash assistance (we tried to get it for 6 months straight, he kept losing our paperwork, and we finally gave up last month).

I have not for the life of me been able to find a job. I stood in a huge line when a big factory opened around my area for 5 hours in hopes to get a job in January, on top of applying to tons of other companys aswell, and I haven't heard back from anyone.

We made $1,700 last year, and we are running my husbands parents in to more debit daily, we got $683 back this year in taxes, and due to having to buy my Son some clothes (a few on Ebay), and a new car seat, food, diapers, etc, we are already down to $450.

My husband, because of his major depressive disorder was told by a Doctor to apply for Disability, we are in process of doing this, he is at the step of seeing their medical professional next week...

My hopes are to get my GED and go to culinary school within the next two years, to clean up this mess our lives has become... but I don't know where to begin with loans, grants, etc. I need in total about $30,000 for one year of culinary school to get my advanced culinary degree at CT Culinary Institute (my dream) or if I have to Lincoln Technical... and even then, I would have to take a bus (if they run to the areas) because I don't have a vehicle or my license yet either.

My Mother-in-law is working herself to death working two jobs, my Father-in-law is disabled and needs to get a total knee replacement, and is trying to get on disability as well. My parents-in-law are in danger of losing their home, therefore, we could become homeless at any point. We usually only have $30 - $40 a week for food for 5 people.

I need lots of advice. Our lack of financial stability has become a huge strain on my marriage. I'm tired of crying myself to sleep. I'm so depressed and afraid to seek help for it because of my husbands condition. I'm deathly afraid of losing my Son. I don't know what to do or where to turn. I wish we could just win the lotto, but, we all know that's not going to happen, and I don't have the money to waste trying either.

I will accept as much help that can be offered. I don't want to ask for money, but if you want to help in that manner (will go to nothing but baby supplies, food, bills, clthing, etc), please send it to my Paypal address tamwalt@gmail.com, which is also my contact email address if you want to contact me. Advice, links, anything else is very appreciated as well!
