In Christ,

i understand your pain, keep praying and keep your head held high, god works in mysterious ways. I say..donate any change you have to someone who needs help as well..and i promise you, God will give you back what you gave and 10x more. stay positive and stay strong. your family needs your strength, even when its tough, have hope. i feel your pain as i am in a family of 8 and my father is unemployed and disabled. im in college trying to support myself and it is a HUGE struggle. My family is struggling as well but i promise, faith keeps you going.

hope these words of encouragement helped somewhat.

god bless

There IT is......................
There it is....is for the many who found this world full of people with greed who'll offer you the moon and then always keep it just out of reach.I'll share what I've learned freely as it was shared with me.It's simple and clear as it should be.No need to go to hours of meeting and give away your hard earned cash to scam artist in sheep skins.They'll not only take your money but, your time and god forbid your faith! If it's God's will I will accept a donation to expand my efforts to reach others by various methods.If not then please accept the following in the spirit it was given.

I.Believe----
With all your heart,soul and substance you must"Believe in whatever you may want to be manifested in reality. By faith we create our own reality.By faith we create our world and are what we believe.Tell anyone something about themselves long enough and the will not only believe it but,will act as if they are.

II.Speak It---
For good or bad, we speak our reality into being.If it's negative...then we mistakenly start the process of manifesting the bad omen by just speaking it and creating the atmosphere for it to exist.The World and all that is and ever shall be is and was spoken into being.GOD spoke the creation into being....and GOD said let there be....and it was good.So everything "EVERYTHING" starts with belief in the spirit realm and becomes a spoken word,then reality.

III.Act on It---

Now a mean,take the path of least resistance.Just a feather touch.We limit our power just using pure worldly force often over doing the nature process of miracles.Making a simple job harder or killing it altogether.The Women with the issue of blood first believe then spoken of her faith then acted on it by touching Jesus.This World has taught us that only by physical means we can realize our dreams.Not only would this debunk miracles but,kill the faith of those who do.Thankfully God is all powerful and there are if not all things mere man can not explain.

IV.Receive it----

You sometimes can't see the forest for the trees.Don't be blinded by the materiel world and how thing may appear.The world and the devil we try to bluff you out your blessing.When things look there worst and seem to just go wrong then,look a little deeper and don't miss that blessing thats already there that you don't see or just around the corner!The rule of thumb is the stronger the resistance seems the closer the blessing!!!

V.Testify to others---

Freely you we're given so freely share your blessing with others.
This is the most Important step.We can't be shady and hide our light under a bush...we must hold it up for others to see.Not only does this builds the faith of others but, makes a positive atmosphere of blessing and goodwill in the dog eat dog world that would stamp out spiritual miracles!
Now go out and bless others and god will bless you.

 in response to bookworm2011...   Wow! Char, that is so awesome! I'm thrilled for you!!!! Now, go kick some butt and lose the rest during your second round!

If I'm only 17 years old but I'm pregnant would I qualify for cash assistance?

I currently unemployed and my benefits have run out. I recently went and got on food stamps. I have no income whatsoever. A friend recently told me that if you are on food stamps and have no income at all that you also get a cash benefit on your EBT card. They did not tell me anything about this at the food stamp office. I do not have any children, she said this does not matter, there is a number to call. Does anyone know anything about this? I am desperate, I have about thirty cents in my pocket.
Thanks!

 in response to The Real Cie...   I don't know what to say, I have bipolar, Fibro,ADD PTSD,. I don't work lost my job, waiting for disibality, but I wont be to live on that. I havent eaten in a few days. But there is no help for me, and this is bull. We have TV minister living in million dollar home, they are worth billions.

I loved your post:)

Hey. That is such a cute dog in your profile picture. I love small dogs. I wish I could have pets were I live. They said i could have fish but who wants a fish. You cant pet it or walk it or play with it.

 in response to bookworm2011...   My family doesn't like it when there are no snacks either, but I have weaned them off of them almost entirely now, because, the truth is, it won't hurt them to not eat sweets. In fact, sugar is the major cause of most sickness, since it is poison, and kicks the heck out of our immune systems! I'm so glad the green tea and stevia help you! It IS hard to remember to drink all that water, since you are a busy lady! Hang in there and it WILL come off!

Who can i call if my case is closed and dont get any response from fair hearing? single parent of 2 and struggling, i go to warfare and nobody seems to care and i applied twice for a fair hearing back in december 15 2011... Please give some onfo.

 in response to Bee's Knees...   No Worries! That happens to me every once in a while too..I got a little bummed because the past two days I saw an increase of 6 ounces but then realized that I had stopped drinking all the water..I made myself drink the required glasses today and we will see what the scale says tmw..Ive found drinking some green tea with the sweetner completely takes care of any cravings when I cook for my family. I tried to eliminate boxed and packaged sweets so I must endure the baking treats for them since Im the one who got myself into this by telling them they need to eat healthier, homemade snacks! Thank you again for the support! I hope that things are well with you and your family..

 in response to Bmayolle...   Brian, call 211

Hello My name is Brian. On january 2 2012 we had a fire in the house my family was renting an apt. in. We lost everything and are now homeless. My wife is presently 4 months pregnant and i have a 2 daughters and a son 16- 13(son) and youngest is 8. We live in wesctchester ny and are looking for some finacial help. We lived in Ossining, n.y. any and all donations no matter how big or small would be such a blessing. Please help my family we are in a friends for now but cant stay much longer. I also am not sure how to receive donations so any help in with this would be appreciated to. Thank you for your help in advance and God bless you and your families

There are a lot of people here who need help so I'm not terribly hopeful, but here goes. I am mentally ill. I have type II bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, and obsessive compulsive disorder which partially manifests as hoarding disorder. I have hoarded objects, not animals. I have 5 cats, which some may think is "a lot of cats" but it does not qualify as animal hoarding. I am working on the hoarding problem but it is an uphill battle. Sometimes I do better than others.
In spite of my mental illness, I do work. I make well above minimum wage, as I make $17 an hour. I work 32 hours a week. This is about all I can do without it making me extremely depressed or physically sick. I also have fibromyalgia and sciatica as well as asthma and mild hypertension.
I fall into a marginalized category. Because I make the salary I do, I do not qualify for food stamps. However, once taxes and insurance are taken out of my pay, I only take home about $1400 a month. I am in an upside down mortgage in a mobile home and my credit is damaged. Thus refinancing seems to be out of the question--no-one will touch me. Between mortgage and lot rent, I pay $1100 a month.
My mother has helped me out for several years with utility bills. I do not eat much except at work. I get things like cheese whiz and crackers and canned fruit juice or jello that does not need refrigeration when I am at home as I do not have a working refrigerator.
Last year my mobile home incurred very bad damage when the water heater started leaking and I didn't know it until my son realized that the carpet in the hall was wet. The walls and floors of 3 rooms had to be removed. Overall the repairs cost over $20,000. My mother helped out with this. But she is stuck with my late father's medical bills and really can't help any more. I am ashamed to ask her for help anyway.
I do not have working plumbing except in the bathroom sink. Fortunately I am able to shower and wash my clothes at work. I do not have much in the way of furniture but I'm not so worried about that.
I still owe $43,000 on this horrible 15% mortgage, which I have had for 10 years. The original mortgage was $45,000. You can see that I am mostly paying interest. I am in a no-win situation.
I just got through paying off a bunch of payday loans that I had to take out when I was doing a month unpaid internship to obtain my LPN license last April. I also maxed out my credit cards. I still owe about $1200 in credit card bills. This destroyed my credit, which I had worked very hard to build back up to a passable score.
I have medical issues which I have not been able to afford to take care of and I have not been to a dentist in 6 years.
I feel very depressed most of the time and think about suicide every day. I am not a lazy person but I have had a lot of barriers to my success in my life.
It seems that if I had nothing at all there would be some resources from me. But since I am working and have this mobile home I fall into the Twilight Zone where no-one can or will help me.
Thanks for reading.

 in response to hoffa...   Let me know if you have any questions!

 in response to bookworm2011...   Hi, Char. Sorry for the delay in answering. Ever notice how Aip sometimes tells you there are messages, then, after you open and read one, it tells you there are no more? I just ran across this message from you that I never even read before, so I'm assuming that is what happened.
I know. It is sooooo hard to cook or bake for others when you are not allowed to have any! But, when you are in the zone, you are in the zone!
Keep going! You CAN get down to the pre-baby weight again! I did.
I can't wait to see the after picture!

Dear narf852 hope u r fine.post me anytime about anything.i am good listener.i am now hopefully ur friend on aidpage.bigred64

Lovelyone46408,post to me anytime.good to have someone to talk to.just joined aidpage for help but want to be able to have dialog with others.take care.bigred64

 in response to Bee's Knees...   Dear Bee's Knee's:
Thank you for your answr and taking the time to set me along the right reason why I am here. We all can use the help at times and me I am looking for an angel, for a long time now have been putting it in prayer to have a family car for my family of one child. this is one reason why I am looking into the grants and see where the Creator will guide me too. Once again thank you for your time... Close with love and peace... StrongBear

 in response to georgette7...   Thanks, Georgette. I do think it helps when people can see it is a real need, and that it goes directly to pay that need, instead of just a random person's account. Scammers have been here and tricked people into giving them lots of money in the past. We've lost many good contributors because of that. When new contributors join, and ask me how to tell which people have real needs, a good rule of thumb is seeing that some needs are real and having proof (like when the bill is paid directly.) so you have a good point.

 in response to Bee's Knees...   i just wanted to make sure no one was thinking that they would be sending the funds to me.i know all of you on the site whom are helpping are doing things as you can.i was reading things on the site befor posting.you are doing a great job with all repiles

 in response to georgette7...   What I am saying is that money is not often exchanged here in any way (direct gifts, grants, paying of bills, etc...) I understand you are asking for tax help. Everyone seems to be struggling right now, especially this time of year. Many are disabled, homeless, have no food, etc....
We have no idea which contributors happen to be reading the posts and are financially able and willint to help. Sometimes this does happen, but most of the time, we try to swap helpful info, resources for help through different organizations, etc...(usually the people who need help the very most are helped in those cases)
We have no access to any cash other than whatever we each earn via our own jobs.
Many times people have the misconception that we work for a large corporation and are able to distribute funds from a large account.
I hope this information helps.
I wish I could be of more help.
I know how it feels to be hassled for payments due.
God bless you.

 in response to StrongBear...   Hello, StronBear,
I was losing my house when I found this site. I was not sure what it was at first. I have never been given a grant here. I found out the people here help one another as they can. Some have been given cash assistance by other members, but mostly I see people giving one another support and information. Many contributors have taken the time to research different topics and are able to point others in the right direction for help.

 in response to dogeatdog...   Hello, from past experiences I agree with this post.
Have a great day!

 in response to seekinghelp2012...   Consolidating debts is rarely the best way to go in trying to reduce your debt levels. Best thing to do is to develope a budget and a plan and stick to it.

Does anyone know of a place to consolidate debts for persons with bad credit. I would even consider peer to peer lending if there are any wealthy individuals willing to help a single, graduate student, with a full time job. I've suffered some financial misfortunes but I'm trying to get back on track. I need about $50,000 and I can comfortably pay be $450 - $550 per month. Please help in any way that you can and it will be greatly appreciated.

Hello Sis just wanted to introduce my self first; I am StrongBear. You have been here from the time of 2010 and was wondering why you came to this site was it like me looking for grants? Ofcourse, with your permission I am asking of you. My reason is to find out if this site does help us, for I am looking for grants too... Please for give me if I sounded bold just wanted to know what is up with our site here? :) thanks for even reading this, close with love and peace... StrongBear

Here is the ACTUAL customer service telephone numbers for SNAP EBT. *States listed*

http://www.fns.usda.gov/snap/contact_info/hotlines.htm

I have been notice that their system is NOT equally... 1. Black people AND Mexican got more in food stamps than they should.... 2. They reduce the food stamp as annual increase in Social Security benefits. *THEY DON'T GIVE A FLY IF FOOD PRICES GONE UP!!!!* 3. Their telephone system SUCKS because there is NO representative option when you calls about the card.

 in response to Bee's Knees...   i am not asking to receive the cash myself.any amount of funds would be greatful to be put to the tax office not me

 in response to georgette...   We can help you with ideas about how to find resources for aid, but we cannot guarantee you will be gifted cash. Each of us gives as we are able.

needing help with taxs,home inc.,food,household items.these are the first main things i need to take care of.i put up a request on the home page.what help we get that would be great.anyone can make the main payment to whom it goes to

 in response to georgette...   You are welcome

i am giving thanks to you for taking the time to help all of us out in one way or another.

 in response to Bee's Knees...   if you have a need you can just let someone either pay it to the sorce or just get you the item you need.that is what i am looking for someone to do.i am not asking for cash in my hand just help.and that's whatever help i can get.i will still try to do things on my own.do not mean to sound mean but that's how i fell
i have been to places to get help.the only thing they would tell me is that we can not help you at this time.

 in response to Bee's Knees...   Thanks....im going to try them..

 in response to hoffa...   Yeah, I would recommend HCG diet for you. On YouTube, there is a lady named Lvoden, who sells the drops very reasonably.

 in response to hoffa...   HCG is fairly cheap and fast, although, to make it work, you do need to do it for a minimum of 23 doses, I think (3 doses a day). Another one that totally works is low carb. I have to run right now, but will be back soon...

Gud morning...so I been reading alot of what you wrote to bookworm and I was wondering what is it that u recommand her to take for her to lose 8ponds in 8days! Thats amazing...i want try watever it is if its not to expenive.I been taking diet pills forever and the only that hd seem to work was hydrocut but u have to wrk out a ton, abd lipozene makes you have oily gas, and thats not good..lol so I could use some of your advice asap..i want to be that sexy body for the summer

 in response to Bee's Knees...   I appreciate your support, I really do..this means so much to me because I really want to get healthier and back to where I was pre-baby. I am proud to say I have been very strict with my eating. Its SO HARD because I cook alot and like to experiment for my family. I fried them catfish and fries and cornbread one night this week and about died from the smell!! ALso was running late and no time to cook and had to stop at McDonalds for my kids a few times and the smell of the fries almost made me give in but I reminded my self these are the steps I need to take to achieve this goal. I did happen to find my size 5-6 pants and clothing in my garage and some of my pants are still new so my goal is to get down to those sizes from where I am now (a 10) and that way I wont have to do a ton of shopping for new clothes.
Just weighed in , I am on day 8 and have lost a total of 8 pounds! Im very excited and thank yoiu again for all of your help!
Char

 in response to bookworm2011...   Wahooooooo!!!!!!!!!!! That is so great! I'm so glad to hear it! I'm proud of you! Now, just beware that your rate of loss may slow a little after the first week, but do not be discouraged and do not give up! Most importantly, do NOT listen to people trying to discourage you! Remember, if you cheat, it not only will slow down your loss, but if the cheat is great enough, it will cause you to gain. Some cheats cause a several lb gain and take 3 days to get back to where you were.
Also, if you hit a plateau, where you have stayed the same weight for several days, ditch the shrimp, oranges, and tomatoes, since they have been known to hold people up.
You can totally do this!!!!!!!!!!!!
Keep reporting back--please!
I love hearing about your success!

 in response to mister...   I was suppose to get mines on 1/09/12 and I called and they told me my date was 1/14/12. I still didn't receive anything.

Good am! Just wanted to say I love this diet!!! I am not hungry at all and I have been on the diet one week. I have lost 6 pounds so far..thank you so much for the encouragement!
