Up until a year ago, I worked full time plus two other part time jobs (about 6 days a month) and did OK making ends meet in my household. I am a single parent,I have worked full time since I was 17- I have a good work record and great work ethics. I suffered an injury at work (both my shoulders) that initially left me unable to work "full duty" which also left me unable to work my 2 part time jobs. Since then, my employer has denied my workman's comp claim. I have been employed with them for 12 years. I receive a portion of my regular pay on pay day but have lost my full income, overtime along with the supplemental income I needed by working the 2 part time jobs. I am currently under doctors care (have been since the injury (11-2011)and recently had surgery on the right shoulder (10-4-12) with the left side to be scheduled in the near future.I am in constant pain and the range of motion on both sides is greatly impaired. I am almost always brought to tears while putting on clothes. My doc anticipates several months of rehab for both and I will be unable to work at all until then. I am an average mother who was living pay check to pay check but somehow able to make ends meet and provide for my family- just like so many others. But, since getting injured, I am barely able to make ends meet and there are many times when I can't pay the gas bill or buy groceries. I don't squander money nor do I have a lot of material things that I pay for (car note, mortgage, loans etc)- just the basics. I don't qualify for any type of loan because honestly, my credit is not good (partially my fault and partially the fault of divorce) and even if I was able to get one, I would be unable to repay it. I am asking for anyone who is able to help me by making a donation so that maybe when the bills come due, I won't have to choose between paying the gas or electric bill or buying groceries. Thank you in advance for opening up your heart and helping me. JB

I have had quite the crazy year. I started university, but because of compounded anxiety problems, depression, and a poisonous home situation i dropped out soon after. since then i had moved out of my parents house, only to run out of money and have to move back. I still have outstanding fees for university, and if i dont start to pay by the end of this month It will be sent to a collection agency, which will then bring my parents into the picture and could bode very badly for me and my situation. added on top of that, due to my social anxiety, and lack of previous job experience, i havent been able to get any sort of reliable income. I am currently trying to get started with a company that would allow me to work from home, aka the perfect situation for me, and surprise surprise it has a few costs to signing up. I am pretty desperate at this point, so anything helps. if you feel like you can help, please do so, it would mean the world to me. and feel free to ask me any questions you have about this thank you in advance.

I have venting through a really tough spot the past year in my life. I'm the mother of three lovely kids, I have health issues that prevent me from working and have not been able to pay my rent or utilities the last three months. Electric has been disconnected, resulting in eviction due to the fact I could not get them restored within the 24 hour grace period. I'm down to my last straw, really don't know where to go from here. PLEASE IF THERE IS ANYONE willing to help a struggling mother trying to me her family together contact me at angel_under_fire28@yahoo.com
