Zep 3:17 The LORD your God is with you. He is like a powerful soldier. He will save you. He will show how much he loves you and how happy he is with you. He will laugh and be happy about you, (ERV)
As I sit and read this today I know I want to feel the real love of God. I want to know love that. I feel so unloved at many times during the days and night, emptiness surrounds my soul then it attacks, I wonder seriously, I call out "God why do you allow me to suffer? Is it the only time mankind admits they need you?" I pondered this for a bit, is it really the only time mankind seeks god? Answer for most, yes. Which saddens me. I have been used by many people in the past 32 years. I have so called friends who only call upon me when they need help. Yet then once helped they disappear. I know how bad I feel. How wretched I feel. I feel like not ever helping anyone again. However, I always do. People ask me all the time, why do you keep setting yourself up to be used again and again by people? I don't help people because I require something in return, I don't help people because they always deserve it, I help people because it make me happy to kind things to help others, then see them succeed, to know that I had a hand in that success and happiness they have, even if it's from faraway. I know I stood up and did what I feel is right even if many in the world do not think you should help anyone out. It must bring God joy to help mankind. Even if it does hurt when some turn there back on that love after it's received. Today I encourage everyone, if someone has helped you in the past, today send a simple email, to tell them thank you. They may deny doing anything at all. However, I do tell you this I know deep inside, there smiling to themselves. Also, take a moment to thank our real helper God for his love. We may not always show it but we do love God to. Be Blessed everyone-Barbara
I have read post after post after post ...after post. I am trully sorry for all who are going through tough times.
It seems that 2012 started off rough for alot of us. i am a 29 year old enritchement specialist who specializes in providing after school art clases to at risk youth in and around my community. apart from that i also have been heavily involved in theater in my comunity.i pride myself on making people laugh during moments of frustration, and ecomonical lows. But my biggest contribution to this world has been and will allways be my beautifull lil boy(age 7).
I have allways been able to get myself out of economic hurddles,but lately with my son growing and demanding more from me as a father i have feel like im failing ,and it kills me.:(
This page encourages to speak from the heart..do a tell all.
quite frankly i feel that by doing that the only thing that it has brought is heart ache and pain.
My son recently moved to florida, from texas a huge change for me since i live in california, but a bigger one for him since his mother selfishly made the decision. long story short:
since he was planning to move we ,his mother and i decided that it would be best if he stayed with me here in california from the beggining of winter vacation till the begginning of march then i would fly him out to florida giving me enough time to raise the 1000 to fly us to and from. Well she got mad one night and demanded me to fly him out last week. i refused. her possesive ways have damaged the relationship she fostered with me and my family.Its obvious that she needs psychiatric help, but i cant do anything is she dosent think anythings wrong. She called the authorities and accused me and my family of kidnapping. We are a loving ,caring, respectfull family. to be accused of this ripped my heart. i am so afraid of her hurting his lil mind so i have made the decision of going through the courts and asking for full custody......(pray for us)
The reason why i am on this page asking for help. is not to have someone pay my rent, but to help me with some bills and debt to give me a fresh start,and to do what i need to do for my son and myself.
phone bill=100
debt (flights= 1000)
water bill=500( and yes i have looked up if their are programs to help me with this..no luck)
...at this point i pray for a miracle...i hope my job picks up and i get more hours...hope for more jobs opportunities......
......i hope.
If you ever need help there is people on here to help or if you just want to talk .they will help but some times it might take awhile so please give them time to help.I really loved the help .please do not forget to thank them for there help and support
Merry Xmas
My name is Melitza Huertas. I have two boys and currently on disability. I have been struggling with my physical problems for years but I always had my rock(my husband) to lean on. Last year in NYC streets my husband was assaulted and left for dead. He had severe skull and brain injuries. Now I stand as his rock but with out his income I fake at times how strong I am. Please I have two boys one 5 and my teenager they know of tough times, too many to bare. I just want a special Xmas. If just for a day of smiles. Please and Thank you to whom reads this mesg.

hi my name is tawny fuller, i am asking for help with my son and help for my moms kids as well for christmas. this year we will not be able to have a christmas because of our bills. if there is anyone out there who is willing to help me and my family please contact me on facebook or my yahoo. at tawny_girrly16@yahoo.com, i appreciat it so very much. Thank you to all the kind people in this world who would be willing to help. I hope you have an amazing christmas and happy New Year. God Bless you all and i hope and prey i will be able to give my son and my little sisters the christmas they deserve :) thank you so much!
I just wanted to say THANK YOU to all the Angles out there helping people that really need it. I have never been I'n this spot and never thought I would be. It's hard finding help when you need it and we all count on the compassion of strangers. I know there are some people that abuse things like this. But if you are wanting to help and are un sure of who to help, Thoes who really need it can prove it. They can show proof of disabilty or unemployment. So please keep giving and changing lives. The time you take to help one person can change their lives forever and then they are more willig to reach out to help someone else when they are able. Thats my plan. I normally am the one helping others. Not the one needing help so this is hard for me. We give everytime people ask and need it and I know it becomes tiresome and seems like it never ends but your compassion fuels everyone elses. Please keep that I'n mind when you are deciding who and of you are going to help. Thank you for all who have already helped someone this year. Next year I hope to be one of Thoes people. You really make a difference to many people.

Thank you everyone who has been so supportive. Thank you Inspiration for updateing everyone on aidpage. Please forgive my absense from aidpage, but i am also a member of FCC and in order to stay active to get help getting a car i need to log in and pay it forward so sense my internet access is limited i have been using my time on FCC.
I wanted to update everyone breifly and let yinz know i DID NOT forget you, I will be back soon...how soon,Im not sure, but I promise I will be back.
As Sherry informed everyone LaKota passed away, the doctors did everything, we all prayed and God heared our prayers...yes Im going thru so many emotions, but God heared my prayer and ended the pain. LaKota was called home so God could take care of him. He was too small and not strong enough, and was in so much pain to live here with me, but God had other plans and gave him the strength to watch over me & his Big Sister, and gave him wings!
Thank you so much everyone who has said a prayer for us, Thank you for careing and for becomming part of my extended online family.
I chose to go to a shelter where they have greivance councilers that help moms and families that have lost a child. At the shelter i have no net so I go to McDonalds Cafe to use the computers for a little bit when I can. I guess God directed me to this place for another purpose than learning to cope with the passing of my son. The one pastor runs a private Halfway/Transitional houseing (his church owns a few houses and apartments), well after meeting with him durring my counciling sessions a few times, he added me to their houseing list (normally they only offer to members or family of members of their church, I am neither) Today he walked in and asked me how soon I felt ready and capible living independant, and I told him "As soon as I get a call saying I have a home to move to." Pastor then replied with."We have had problems with people moveing in then violating the terms to the lease so I recommended offering an apartment to you, we voted and....would you be interested in haveing a safe place to call your home?" Well to shorten our very long emotional coversation, He will be going to have OCY come inspect the apartment, so I can get my daughter back from her father, and I will have a place to live :) This is ONLY short term...VERY short, my lease is for 3-6months,so hopefully I get a call from Houseing Assistance soon, but this temporary place will help. I think haveing my daughter back will help MAJORLY with my greiving. I will keep yinz updated when I can!
I am having trouble getting around this site? I will get e-mails saying I have new messages but get to the site and there is nothing there? Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks in advance. I also want to thank everyone for your kindness and help it as been a true blessing to know I'm not alone with this. Thank You from the bottom of my heart.
Hello aidmate friends and family,
I wanted to take a few minutes to thank each of you for your prayers and support. My surgery was very difficult and the transition into my recovery has also been very challenging, but your support and encouragement have helped make everything easier because it has been shared with friends.
Of course, I benefited by the prayers and was very touched by the love and kindness I felt through each message I read, but what touched me the most was the unity displayed by the members on this site.
Not only did you petition the Lord in my behalf, you also reached out to each other with comfort and kindness during this time and truly exhibited what this site is all about. You put aside your own problems in order to focus on someone else and reached out to those experiencing the same emotions you were dealing with. For a brief time you behaved like family and became stronger in spite of the valley that each of you shared with my wife and me.
I am gaining strength each day. I am up walking and starting to eat. I will need to undergo some radiation and chemotherapy, in order to help fight the cancer. The pain is bad, but it's seems to get better each day. The doctor's were not able to remove all the cancer, but the surgery should offer me more quality, and quantity of life. It will take time to recover, time to heal, and time to see all the positive results that will come from this surgery, and from all the prayers I have received. I am leaning on the Lord, and my faith is carrying me.
Instead of accepting a death sentence I have began to fight for my life, my journey will be difficult but the things that mean the most to us are usually not obtained easily. It's through our struggles that we learn just how much strength we have, and it's through our prayer's that we realize we do not have to go through the valley's alone. The Lord has His hand on me and is guiding every step, and I know that the progress I have already obtained is due to prayer.
May the Lord bless each of you, guide your steps, and meet your needs.
See you in my prayers.

I want to say thank you to any and all who gave me advice, i was able to get some prorate on my daughters SSI. We where able to stay in our home. My husband and I are both going back to college. And right now we are manageing to not drown, not exactly floating along merrily, more like white water rafting (in a river full perrahna)., but its better than rapidly sinking.
I am a 34 year old man recently back from Iraq. I was a reservist activated to a unit 3 states away. Before i left i was a union millwright, proud father, and a soon to be husband. Since returning home i have not been able to get a contract thru the union in over 6 months. I have had mutiple health issues stemming from being activated and having my family move away. Since my insurance is banked on how much i work i have had to pay out of pocket expenses which have left me near broke. I have never had to ask for help before on anything before....just don't know where to turn now.
Hi, my name is Jessica and I have two sons. Caleb just turned 5 and Jakai will be 3 in the beginning of June. I started school in the winter, I knew that I needed a better job in order to provide for my children. I was working full-time until April, when I was let go. I am still going to school and have been actively looking for work. I was able to pay May's rent, but now my savings is gone and I don't know what to do. I do receive food stamps which is wonderful though unfortunately it's not enough. I don't like asking for hand outs but this is my last resort. I have no family who is able to lend me the money and every place I have called doesn't have any current funding. I don't know what else to do. Thank you for your time in reading my story.
