diabetic needs help  

About desperate & poor

I am a 53 year old woman with diabetes, bi-polar disorder and osteoarthritis in need of a helping hand.  I am in a 10 marriage that is an unhappy one and I want a divorce.  I have been trying for over 2 years to get disability.  I need glasses and dentures.  Have no car.  My home is a 1987 singlewide mobile home in need of repairs. I have a student loan form the early 1990's that I can pay.   I worked my whole life with nothing to show for it because of bad choices and have no one to blame but myself.  I am a good person, no drugs or alcohol, never in trouble with the law.

I can send proof of all the above statements if needed.  I just need a fresh start.  Anything and everything even advice will be appreciated.

 I am a single mom with a new baby and I am about to start college in Jan. I am looking for grants & scholarships for that but also I want to open a non profit organization that gives kids in school a gift on their birthday and on the holiday. As well as school supplies and clothes. Does anyone know anything that might help me with that? I am a minority, woman, and so I am seeking grants for business.

I am a minority single mother recovering from an abusive relationship after loosing everything. I am seriously in need of some financial help to support my children. Right now I am behind on my first months rent.  I would have no where to go if I get evicted. It is $786 plus $75 late fee. But that does not include water and electric bills. And my next rent is due in a couple of days. Just recently my car blew up, and the mechanic said it was unable to be fixed. I have to walk everywhere. I am also trying to start a business that will provide assistance to those trying to start a business or help those who have already started a business and are struggling. To make a long story short, I am seeking start up financial funding/assitance.

Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

I am a nursing student, I am thirty i have to boys and i will be an excellent nurse, i wanted to get a bsn because you dont see many african american women in management positions which is what i plan to become.

i have a final exit exam on the 5th of may, I am only enrolled in a 3 credit class to take the test, which is not enough to receive financial aid. My credit was denied for a sallie mae loan and my dad tried to cosign but his credit was denied to. I have two boys and I am sooooo close to being a nurse i can feel it. My bill for school is 1760.00 and i just cant afford it. I dont know what to do, if i get a job to afford the class then i wont be able to give enough time to study and pass my exit exam. i know god has not brought me this far to fail me, this is my last hope.

Its like i chose this great school to get a good education, and every year i have been blessed to pay, the first year i owed 6500 i won 7000 on wheel of fortune, who gets on tv? the next year financial aid covered my exspenses. Then last semester a friend cosigned for me because it was supposed to be my last semester. However i didnt pass my exit hesi exam so i have to retake the test and they charge you for the 3 credit class. And a part time fee. Cant get a credit card because all of the ones i have are at the limits. i need to pass so i can work and pay down all my debt i incurreed from school.i cant focus on studying for the dang test cause im so worried about paying the bill. what to do?  please keep me in prayer.

OUTREACH TO ANYONE THAT HAS INFORMATION

My name is Deidra Guerrero and I am a newlywed. About a month ago me and my husband got married and we have a beautifull son named James that is almost 3 years old. I want to get my story out there and see if there is anyone that can help or anyone that has advise. I am 21 years old and my husband is 20. It is really hard for him to get a job here due to the fact that he is disabled. He is a paraplegic. I love him to death though. He is the strongest man that I have ever met in my entire life. He got a rare chicken pox virus when he was 8 years old and just has not been able to walk since. But after all that and the numerous times in the hopsitol and long yearly stays he is still the BEST father and husband I could ever ask God for. He is the best thing that has happened to me and the baby. Anyways back to the story, I also am a native american that has been on welfare on and off trying to get my life in order. I have an oppertunity to go to Oklahoma and live there to be able to go to college. The only problem is we are so far in debt from all of our bills and not being able to afford ANYTHING just bills. Sometimes not even that and from putting out so much money we cant save anything to rent a truck to take all of our belongings with us. We would love to find some type of grant or some type of assistance with our personal needs. IF ANYONE HAS ANY IDEAS OR INFORMATION PLEASE CONTACT ME.... DEPERATE IN CALIFORNIA.
