Hello,my name is Gary and I am 38,married with 4 awesome kids and I thought I would give this a try. I was laid off from my job as a satellite technician. Work is very scarce in Iowa where I live.The job I had once loved to do has become a moneypit. As a sub-contractor i had to pay for eveything except the dish and the recievers. Gas took half my pay alone.So my wife and I looked at all options and decided I would better myself and our family by going back to college. I am a full-time student studying to get my bachelors in IT/Systems Administration. I have 3 girls 10,5,3 and a boy 5. I have exhausted all my savings and dont know what I am going to do.I have looked for work everywhere locally with no success. My wife stays with our youngest because daycare is too expensive.She make a little money by sitting for other children. I feel so embarrassed because I try to hide this from my kids on the position we are in at this time.I take all odd and end jobs I can find but its just not enough I believe that going back to school is the right thing to do but its a very hard struggle.I hate asking but if someone, anyone could help out in any way it would be so appreciated.Even if someone would know about a job online that is legit, that would be great too. I know when I look back later down the road my family will be proud and stronger for this. Any donations would be through paypal of course.Thanks so much for reading and god bless.

Dear brothers and sisters, I am Vijay, an expatriate staying in U.A.E. I lost my job on 16th June 2011. Since then I am trying to get a job, but till today it is not happened, may be because of my age; even though still I’m optimistic. As an expatriate, company has to cancel my labor card and visa after a grace period of 1month and either can join other company if a job is in hand or leave the country. Because of my humble request, two times company postponed the cancellation and ending the time soon. I don’t have my own home in my motherland. Unless a new sponsor who apply for a visa/labor card and is issued by the Government, doing a job here is against law. My wish was to continue another few years until completion of my child’s education and arrange a job here, so that at least an earning member will be from the family, after me. Recently a Good Samaritan, who understood my struggle, agreed to arrange a visa (not a job), which will help me to stay here; but doesn’t help for an income. All the expenses for the visa must be provided by me. On his visa, I can stay here and search for a job, but don’t know how to meet the living costs and other expenses. No insurance to pass over this tough time. How low paid men deposit money for tough times? Monthly expenses are approximately US$2100, which includes rent, water and electricity, school fee, food-two times/day etc. and not sure how many months more I stay jobless I hope this is my first and last time request in my life to the man kind to click on the donate button and help me. I strongly believe that the amount donated now can be given back to needy people through this site or other charity sites in near future. Thank you very much to all the generous people for any help. May God bless all.

Hi......I am a 60 year old stroke survivor who needs some help. I had a stroke a few years back, and had to quit working because of it. I have rehabbed myself to the point where I have started a home business with a wellness company and am starting to make a little money. Unfortunately I ran up huge credit card debts in the meantime. My credit scores are 765 and I receive disability income, but most of it goes to paying these credit cards. No bank will touch me right now because of the amount of debt I owe. What I need is some help paying off these credit cards, and focusing on my new home business, and not worrying constantly about paying them. I would be forever grateful for any help you can give me. I will help in the future anyone I can... Thanks so much for considering me.
