Well that's pretty terrible, doesn't the landlord have to give you 30 days at least? I understand the money troubles, we live paycheck to paycheck all the time. It is very stressful. I just turned 30, and I have a 4 year old son and my daughter will be 2 in a few days. I hope things pick up for you.

I am a 27 yr old mother of two.I am married rather unhappily but married. He is unsure about wanting to be with me so although he is here he mentally isnt. I have caught him numberous times on singles sites & with other women's numbers n naked pic's in his phone.All though my children and I could leave him. I have no way of taking care of them by myself. He has recently been trying to be more involved & into our relationship & family but for how long is the question. He works non stop to keep us in our home but even with all he is doing we cant keep the payments up. And my landlord just gave my 4 yr old daughter a 5 day eviction notice to give to me.And I am only 1 week past due on that.I would love to go back to work but until my daughter starts school in the fall i have no way too.I just dnt know what to do anymore. And although complaining about it isnt gonna do any good I just felt like writting the truth in here. Sorry to bother anyone. Thank you, Dawn

Becoming really frustrated, A friend and I have been working for 2 years trying to get our not-for-profit license so that we can open a Transistional housing facility for homeless Vets. We finally recieved the approval two weeks ago, but we been working for over 6 months trying to get sponsors and donations to help purchase and rehabilitate the facility and we are getting no where. It is just very dishearting to think no one else see's the need to help our homeless Veterans.
This is really something awesome. Here I was looking for Help and there is a whole page site for it. Real Cool!

Watch the hormone replacement as it has been shown that it causes lung cancer now along with other illnessess . It is in my blog and recently on the news why I posted it.
Read my profile the pill about killed me!!
there is freecycle for walkers or craigslists
I have two of my mom's still..
call 211 for information and when she sees a doctor about the change of life be sure and have that doctor lay it out flat for you the side effects. My mom was put on it and I got her off as she was subject to surface clots in her legs so why push it?? she smoke but had stopped for 12 yrs and she and my dad died of lung cancer....
Take care and I know it is hard caring for someone not feeling good as I did when I helped mom..
good luck and you should be able to get help with her..Her doctor should have some idea too!!

first of all remove your phone #s - that will only create more problems - like unknown people calling at all hours of the day and night for no reason what so ever....
Next, your wife is on disability - if she has medicaid she should be eligible for medicare a/b as well - between the 2, they should cover most, if not all, of her medical expenses - INCLUDING PRESCRIPTIONS, in-home care and durable medical equipment (bed, walker, etc)
next, "Bipolar extreme" is not a diagnosis - bipolar, yes, which can be effectively managed on the right medications. However, considering her age, 54, she might also be going through menopause and need hormone replacement therapy (HRT) a good endocrinologist could answer that question for you.
HELLO, MY NAME IS JAMES BURGESS. MY WIFE'S NAME IS RENNEA BURGESS. WE LIVE IN LAKELAND, FLORIDA 33805.. THE PROBLEM THAT WE ARE HAVING IS, MY WIFE HAS A HAS A MENTAL DISORDER, THAT PREVENTS HER FROM WORKING, SHE IS 54 YEARS OLD. HER PROBLEM IS THAT SHE IS BI-POLAR EXTREME. SHE HAS TO TAKE ALOT OF VERY EXPENSIVE PSYCHIATRIC DRUGS, TO HELP HER. LAST YEAR SHE RECENTLY FELL AND BROKE HER FEMUR BONE. SHE HAD TO BE OPERATED ON TWICE. THE DOCTOR MESSED UP THE FIRST SURGERY, AND IT HAD TO BE DONE OVER, BY THE SAME QUACK DOCTOR. HE BOTCHED UP BOTH OPERATIONS. I TOLD HIM SO TOO.. THIS WAS IN AUGUST OF 2008. THIS IS NOW OCTOBER OF 2009, SHE STILL IS NOT ABLE TO WALK ON HER LEG. THE DOCTOR REFFERED HER TO ANOTHER DOCTOR. HE TOLD HER THAT SHE MAY POSSIBLY BE LOOKING AT TWO MORE OPERATIONS, BEFORE SHE WOULD BE ABLE TO WALK AGAIN, AS LONG AS THERE WERE NO COMPLICATIONS. HE GAVE HER A 50/50 CHANCE. THIS IN PART IS DUE TO ALL THE DRUGS THAT SHE MUST HAVE FOR BI-POLAR, AND THEIR SIDE EFFECTS. I HAVE HAD TO SPEND ALOT OF MONEY ON ALL OF THIS. MY INSURANCE . THEY ONLY PAY SO MUCH. MY WIFE HAS LOTS OF PROBLEMS, INCLUDING SEVERE ALLERGIES, AND ALLERGY INFECTIONS AS WELL. HER ALLERGY MEDICATION IS ALSO VERY EXPENSIVE.. I HAVE HAD TO PUT OUT ALOT OF MONEY ON REHABILITATION CENTER FOR OVER TWO MONTHS, AND THEN A PRIVATE CPN, TO TAKE CARE OF HER, WHILE I WENT TO WORK. THIS COST ME ALOT OF MONEY. WHEN SHE HAS THESE NEXT TWO OPERATIONS, SHE WILL NEED THE SAME ASSITANCE AGAIN. MY INSURANCE DOES NOT PAY FOR THE HOSPITAL BED, THAT SHE NEEDS, THE WHEELCHAIR, AND THE WALKER. THIS IS ALL BECOMING QUITE OVERWHELMING FOR ME. I HAVE GOTTEN TO THE POINT WHERE I JUST DO NOT KNOW WHERE TO TURN FOR HELP. I ALLREADY WORK TWO JOBS, PLUS TAKE CARE OF MY WIFE WHEN I COME HOME. HER OPERATIONS, HER MEDICATIONS, ETC. ARE ABOUT TO PUT ME IN THE POOR HOUSE, AND THIS IS NO JOKE. I NEED ASISTANCE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE PLEASE, IF ANYONE CAN HELP ME FIND OUT WHAT I SHOULD DO PLEASE LET ME KNOW, THANK YOU. I WANT TO APPLY FOR GOVERNMENT HELP, BUT I REALLY DO NOT KNOW HOW TO GO ABOUT IT..... I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF IT WOULD DO ANY GOOD EITHER. WELL. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR READING MY EMAIL.

Hi. My name is Kendra and here is a little about me...For 13 years I was a on again-off again drug user. During that time I was in several abusive relationships and I hung out with the "wrong crowd" of people. I frequently broke the law and eventually ended up going to prison for two years. During those 13 years, I managed to have three beautiful, smart, gifted and amazing kids. My oldest will be 12 this year, my middle one is 9 and my baby will be 8 in October. Right before I went to prison, I was lost...more so that I have ever been in my life. I had lost everything and had completely given up on myself. Prison actually saved my life. It gave me a chance to find myself again and when I got home, I had a life...my kids had a mama again. Since I've been home things have been great, I am a new person. The only thing I am having trouble with is finding a place to live. I have a great job, it's steady and very dependable. For once I have insurance for my kids and myself, I don't have to work weekends or nights and I feel good about what I am doing! I know that I have made many mistakes in my past, but I am doing good now. I feel like I have learned from my mistakes and I don't ever plan to look back or to repeat any of those things again. I don't expect things to be handed to me, as I know there are more deserving people in the world than me. I do however, feel like I deserve a chance for a new start. My past is hindering me tremendously. I get turned down on every rental application I fill out. I need help. Please let me know if anyone has any advise for me. The county I live in doesn't seem to offer much help to convicted felons. My money is tight, but I am willing to do whatever I have to in order to make it on my own and raise my kids. So, that's the short version of my story. Thanks for taking the time to read it. Have a great day!!
Regardless of whether or not he feels obligated to pay child support, he still has a legal obligation to do so.... Until that gets settled, try modest needs for a grant...

Hello I'M here because of a miracle. I have 2 children that I love very much and I'M doing all I can to take care of them. My Ex husband abandoned me and my two kids 2 years ago and I have been experiencing hardship so bad that I lost my job and ended up in another crises that has caused me & my kids to get evicted twice. He refuses to help because he feels it is not his responsiblity to pay child support. I'M having problems with child support because he filed for a divorce in a different county from where I live and now the child support and divorce case is idled in his county because he lost the case to have it the divorce done in his county. I won to have motion to transfer venue to my county. The problem is, he hasn't paid for the tranfer and I dont have the money to pay for my light bill. I need a finacial break through so bad I know if someone is fortunate enough to search their hearts and ask God. I can get my self out of dept and become self sufficeint and take care of my kids, file for my divorce , and persue Gods plans. I just need to get out of this dept. Its like being stuck in the bottom of the mountain trying to crawal out & keep sliding down. The word of God says we have not because we ask not and I belive in standing on God's word.. Pray for me. If anyone find it in there heart to bless me with any amount contact me at this site.. And God will in turn will bless you back. Remember we reap what we sow.. Thank You.
