My name is Michelle Turner and I am begging for your help as a last resort! My story is a very difficult story to tell. About seven years ago my husband and I purchased a home from my parents. My parents had obtained the home after my great uncle had passed away. We were young and stupid to think that family and money could mix! We went to the bankand askto borrow the money to purchase the home from my parents. The bank let us borrow the money as long as we purchased title insurance, so we purchased title insurance and borrowed the money for the home. My parents recieved the money and we moved into our new starter home. We remodled the bathroom and some other things. After about six months of living in the home we recieved a letter in the mail stating that someone had contested the will and was awarded the home. So we had to move out of our home with our two young sons imediatley. We went to court several times over the course of the past seven years and learned alot of valuable lessons. First off the Circuit Clerks office made a mistake and didn't file their paperwork in the proper manner. Therefor we purchased a home that was tied up in court. So the lady that sold us the title insurance policy had to pay the title insurance company for the circuit clerks mistake and the title insurance company paid the bank for their loss, but no one paid us for our loss. We decided to cut our losses and move on. I quit my job to pursue a career in nursing. I started LPN school and thought all was finally over. Boy was I wrong! I got home from school one day and recieved a letter in the mail that stated my husbands wages were going to be garnished 25% for $20,000 that we owed the bank for court costs. We had no idea that we owed any money. The bank never notified us and my parents never told us that they agreed on our behalf that we would pay the money. My parents knew for over a year that they agreed that we would pay the $20,000 and never told us. When we asked the bank president why he never notifoed us that we owed the money all he had to say is that he told my parents. So now we can't pay our bills and we are at risk of being homeless again. We have two young sons and I can't possibly tell them that we have to move again because their granny and papa did something so wrong. My parents already owed me $5000 for some material that they charged to my home depot card on my little sisters behalf. My sister has two kids and needed a place to live so my parents decided to build her an apartment in their pole barn. My dad asked to borrow my home depot card but promised to pay the bill, but he never did. I was angry about that but had decided that it was only $5000 and wasn't going to let it get my family down. My parents have since kicked my sister and her two kids out and are now collecting rent money on the apartment. I can't believe my parents and the things that they do! So I am left paying $5000 for an apartment that my parents are benefiting financially from, and $20,000 for a home that I paid $60,000 (to my parents) for that wasn't even theirs to sell. I just don't know what else to do so I am begging for help! If you can help me legally, financially, or mentally I would greatly appreciate it!

My name is Christine Vigil and I was raising two (2) beautiful daughters Stephanie vick and Britney sheets who were 9 years old and 7 years old. I am a single mother who had a job, paying my bills and renting a room.  On June 18, 2009 all this was ripped away from me when one of my roomates was shot and killed over a dispute. My daughters were ripped out of of my arms by Childrens Services for false allegations of child endangerment and general neglect. I lost my job, I am homeless and I just got my car taken by the finance company for being 75 days late. I am trying to rebuild my life and fighting to get my girls back but need help to get going. In order for me to get my girls back I need a place to live and i definetely need a vehicle. I am able to work and have degrees in computer technology. I would greatly be forever grateful for some help and a job.  Thank you and god bless.

My name is Tina. I am a thirty year old married mother of two boys ages 14 and 10 from Lancaster, Ohio. My children have alot of medical problems that prevents me from being able to keep a job. I have filed for social security disability for my oldest son but was denied, which I am appealing but they say it could take another 24 months for a decision. My husband is working only part-time as a janitor and trying to pursue his life long dream as an amazing artist which we are trying to get his name out. Which would also be a blessing if anyone have any suggestions on how we can do that also. We are struggling day to day to get by, our bills are months and months behind, our rent is about due again and we are not able to pay the full amount and have a huge chance we may get evicted. I lost my father on October 8, 2008. He was my angel, my strength, and my everything. He was young and had a long life ahead of him but a tumor of the brain took him from us. My Grandmother passed away only six months later. My mother is losing her battle to bilateral breast cancer and bone cancer. She is unable to help herself, so she wouldnt be able to help us. I have nobody left that can help me, Im desperate, scared, depressed, and losing faith. I dont know where to turn or what to do. I need a miracle, and I need it fast before we are homeless. If you have any information that could help us, or a website or application sent to me to get a personal grant. Any suggestions would be very deeply appreciated.

I am the father of two children. My wife and I both work full time jobs and are barely making ends meet. We live in a run down two bedroom 1972 singlewide trailer and the rent we have to pay ($600 per month) is more than the trailer is worth. Moving is not an option because the cost in the housing rental market here is in the four digit figures and the unemployment rate in the surrounding neighboring towns is through the roof. Businesses are closing up left and right and my wife and I are now sitting in dire straits with a huge chance of our jobs closing down as well.

Our lights have been shut off three times this past year and we are having to either walk or hitch hike back and forth to work each day. I just walked three miles to the local library and found this website on the Internet with hopes of getting help. We have been turned down numerous times by the Social Services because they claim we make to much money but yet, we are unable to keep our bills paid. It is now less than two weeks away from Christmas and we are unable to buy our children anything for Christmas. We have been to numerous local churches and organizations for assistants and none of them are able to help out because apparently there are more people in worse situations than us and the churches have run out of funds with helping them.

We do not have TV to watch because we are unable to afford the cost of cable and in our area, we have to have cable or we are not able to watch TV. My wife and I have thought about packing up the kids and just hitting the road in search of something better but we are scared to fail even more than we have now as supporters and parents.

I know I am asking for alot but all we need is a few thousand dollars to get us out of this trailer, help pay our past due bills and hopefully to buy my children a descent Christmas.
