i got a check like that today!!!! OMG! and i was going to deposit into my account? what should i do, how would i know if the check is a fraud?

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

Please help.. I am 21 years old i have 3 children all under the age of 5. My youngest is 4months. As it stands i have a part time job as a cashier. It barely pays to put my kids in diapers and pull ups. Oh and the gas to get to work. I am working part time because there isnt anything full time. I am attending college but might not be able to return if I can't pay the tuition bill. I am currently living with my parents but they aren't in any of a better situation. I just need some help. my husband is having a hard time finding work and well we cant really afford gas for him to drive and apply. Please help!

Sorry I didn't see this ad sooner. I can help if you need help for the holidays or birthdays for your son. I am in the brooklyn, ny area so I'm sure we could arrange pickup really easily. Let mw know the next time you need something. Or feel free to pass on your contact info so we can stay in touch and you have a direct line to someone who can help. Thanks.

I am a wife and mother of 4 boys ages 9-15. For the last 4 years I have been sick and it has gotten worse. I can't work at all so my hubby has to work a lot. I have an autoimmune disease and am bedridden most of the time. Before I got sick I was all about helping other people. I do have friends and people from church that have helped some. Really I wish there was an organization that helped people in my situation. I wish I could just hire someone for a couple days a week to help with cooking, cleaning and errands. Things I can't do anymore but haven't been able to find that help. I hope that one day I will feel better and be able to start an organization that can help people like me. I will write more later, but am tired. I am glad I found this site.

 in response to julia luz...   what's the matter hun"?

 in response to realme...   Sir,
First of all keep all medical records of Doctor visits and Doctor's notes and medications given. I have assisted individuals just it this regard, also it depends on your State where you reside, Lawyers will take your case they don't get paid unless you win. It does consist of lots of redcaps on the Governments part that is why we have good Lawyers. Get info through friends, do your research library books know your rights don't give up be persistent

does anyone here know how to apply or where to go to apply for medical disability? There are to many bogus websites that merely advertise their know how in disability I really am sick(copd or other breathing problems) and I at least know our social security system was not set up to make lawyers rich. We are supposed to be able to do this ourselves with the S.S. DEPT. But so many people have learned how to get their whole families on disability, that the system turned its back on everyone. Thus this created a whole cottage industry for lawyers.

some1 made a coment about me lying about my foot and said i was a fony i just wanted them to see i wasnt. i have to hide in my dads shed so my stepmom dont see me here. my car just broke down and is stuck at walmart till i get a new starter. i do feel bad for my anger latly its just everything latley has been getting to me. i got to stay at a friends last night but i even felt bad about that because i have nothing to offer him his wonderful daughter and grandaughrtes. istayed up most of the night in thought about what to do i even had to prevent my self from breaking down and crying tho part of the night i did trying to hide my face. i try to be thankful i just dont do well at this time of year. most of my family passed away at this time and the rest just uses me as a throwaway. im so angry and sad all the time anymore

I am a 19 yr old single mom. I have a wonderful baby boy. He is two yrs old. Christmas is only 4 days away and I haven’t been able to buy him nothing yet. I feel like I failed him as a mother. Does anybody know where I can get free toys for him in NYC please and Thank You?

I wish you all the best and hope you get the help you need. If I were in a different place I would gladly help you. I will keep you in my thoughts and hope that someday soon, I can do something for someone like you in the future. Happy Holidays.

 in response to mama_mandi...   its very time consuming to coupon, I know you wont find a lot of work opportunities with two babies and no daycare, thats why I thought maybe a babysitting job so you could stay home..the only other thing I can think of is trying to get a grant to go to school (online) I was able to stay home and complete my last degree while my husband was in Iraq because the financial aid checks were more than I would have made than working and paying for daycare..maybe you can look into this idea and get the ball rolling so you can be ready by the time you bring the baby home..of course you will have loans to pay back but if you aquire a skill in the meantime, you wont have to worry about the loans for a while and can hopefully find a new career as well..best of luck and your family is in my prayers

 in response to mrscooper...   I am not sure what you are saying here.

i'm a single mom with two kids, one with downs syndrome. I struggle from paycheck to paycheck to make ends meet and never seem to get ahead. I recently heard about online surveys to make extra cash. It sounded like a good deal to me, so I started signing up at different websites. On Dec. 7th I received a letter in the mail from Evergreen incentive, Inc. saying I had been Picked to participate in an Undercover customer service Evaluation. There was a check enclosed for $2395.00.The letter said for me to call 1-972-819-9084 and speak with Sarah Hope or Sam Penny.I checked it out online and it seemed to be a legitament company. So I called and spoke with a man claiming to be Sam Penny. He told me to take the check to my bank, deposit it and wait for it to go through. I did. I waited 24 hours, called the bank and they said the check had cleared. I figured if it wasn't real, the bank wouldn't cash it, much less give me the cash. Right? Wrong! So I then called the same number back and spoke with the same man. He Said for me to withdraw $2055.00, Take $1855.00 to the western Union and wire it to another, associate with the company- Alex Loga in Valencia, Spain, then called the number back and spoke with Sam Penny and he told me to take the remainder of the cash, $66.45, and go to Wal-mart and shop. To buy whatever I wanted with it and to evaluate customer service. Then fill out the Observation report form I had received with the original letter, fax the completed form and all receipts to 1-888-816-9640. So after that I still had $340.00. It seemed like easy money and I needed the extra help. But on the 13th of December is when I heard from my bank that the check was a fraud,and my account was overdrawn to the sum of $2200.00. I reported this to the police dept. however they said that there was really nothing they could do and that the bank was the victims and would their money. I can not believe that anyone could or would do this to someone. Especially this time of the year. Our Christmas was going to be slim but now we wont be having one at all. I can't even pay my bills. The bank won't close my account until the balance is paid, and the one paycheck I have coming before Christmas is going to have to pay my rent. ( If I can get it cashed without the bank taking it.) I was told by the bank that I would not ever be able to open another checking account anywhere if the money wasn't paid in full. And also that if it wasn't resolved in a timely matter, I could be facing jail time. Please let me know if anyone can help me or knows what i can do. I'm running out of time and can not believe this is happening to me. I feel helpless.

 Thank you and Merry Christmas

 in response to bookworm2011...   Thank you so much for your reply. I do have WIC, which helps a little for a couple of the basics (I'll be breast feeding, so it's just a few basic food items). As far as couponing, I only have access to the ones in the paper. It helps for a few dolars a week usually, but I don't have a way to print any, or the time at that. I've been looking for odd jobs, but it's hard to find ones where I can bring two kids. I'll keep looking though :). Thanks again

 in response to tootie1967...   sME FOR ME OR ITS TO LATE.

Hi,
I would sign up right now for WIC so that you can get formula and baby food when your baby is born..I would put an ad in the paper for daycare to babysit one family, something you can do while your at home.with your own baby..I would also start couponing because 50 a week is plenty to feed a family of four on if you use coupons to shop..there is also a site called fiverr that I just came across...people offer to do unique things for 5 bucks..maybe you can find something on there to make a little extra money to put up for when your not working..I have more info on couponing if your interested. let me know and I can put together some money saving idea's for you

I'm still trying to get a kindle for my 12 yr old.

Okay i'm kinda upset with my step-dad and step-brother because they are always saying oh poor brandon he has always had a mom and dad but his mom is just so bad. I will admit his mom would not win any mother-of-the-year awards but at least she'll call him and try to see him. Well what i'm trying to say is that brandon (step-brother) has never gone without a mom in his life yet i went 9 years not even knowing who my dad is. My dad has always known me but i just did not know he was my dad, he says hes gonna try and be there but he hasn't called me in over a year and i know he has my number because his mom called my grandma asking for it, But no lets all feel sorry for poor brandon

God please send me an angel I'm trying so hard I know you work in mysterious ways I will not lose faith in you. Thank you for all you have blessed me an my family with.

hi i need frend we talk about evrything my name is harbi

 in response to TuesdaysPrayer...   Whatever you do this Holiday, he won't remember it - but if you want to make it special you already have everything you need. The two of you.
But if you want to make something for him to discover when he's older. You can make a Memory box.

Take lots of pictures of you and him together, take a picture with Santa, if you can find a good one & one that won't charge you. Take him to the mall/shopping center that has decorations. Take pictures with him there. If you have a Christmas tree with lights, little ones are often mesmerized by them. lol It's a great way to get some cute pictures of them.

Then if you want, go to the Dollar Store, the Salvation Army or even Goodwill and get some cheap, colorful wrapping paper, small bag of stick on bows and masking tape. Pick up some soft cuddle toys, some booties and maybe see if you can find a band with jingle bells on it. (My son loved hearing the sleigh bells on my door. I was lucky and got a blow up plastic ball and put some small bells inside that tinkled and he would roll that ball all over.)
Then make some cookies, take lots of pictures, let him have a lick of the spoon. I make chocolate chips, gingerbread and sugar cookies for the Holidays. Play some Christmas music, the softer and happy kind. I found my kids weren't too crazy about the orchestra and louder songs.

But most of all make sure that you have all sorts of pictures, save a lock of hair in wax paper & plastic. Have a baby spoon, his booties & infant cap, receiving blanket, rattle and all the items from his first year carefully wrapped or inside a Ziploc bag. Have audio too...there are a few ways to do that. You may need to ask someone for help. But a CD or DVD with short movies, audio tracks and such could be made. My cousin does them for friends and people that want a better way to save wedding videos. You could record a lullaby or two and maybe a special goodnight prayer or a special birthday message from you. If you say "Your another year older today..." instead of a set year, it would be for any year. That way it won't matter what year he gets the memory box.
Include letters to him, telling about what's going on and how you feel. Be honest with your feelings, about your hopes & dreams.
Wear a favorite scent that your son will remember some day, it could be something that you wear for the Holidays or your all year round scent. Put a small bit on a cotton hanky and place in a Ziploc bag to put into the box.

Now for Christmas, use that colorful paper to wrap up some things, no matter what it is, put it into a box. Clothes - in a box. Some blocks - if not in a box, put into a box. Because kids seem to love boxes - my daughter played more with the box her ride & rock pony came in than with it on Christmas. lol The bows are a fun touch. Plus a few pictures with bows stuck on his shirt, head are cute.

It isn't about the "things" you have or don't have. It's about the most important thing that you do have - love.
Capture it for the memory box, enjoy each squeal and tear, but most of all, be together. That will be the best Christmas gift of all.

I hope you all the very best, warmest wishes & brightest blessings this Holiday Season.
