I wish you the best. I wish I could help but I'm in much of the same situation. I can give some information. If you are ever looking for part time work you can go to www.narms.com for some merchandising work. Things you could do while the kids are in school. Or if you are interested in links to becoming a mystery shopper, I have tons of info on that. They are the real sites that hire shoppers, you don't pay anything to get info. Each job doesn't pay much but if you schedule several a day or a week they can add up.
Best of luck and Merry Christmas.

Hi, try www.narms.com... there are some good jobs there. Also if you are interested in doing any mystery shopping let me know and I can send you links to get started. The jobs don't pay much but if you schedule them to do several a day, when you get paid it can help! Best of luck,
Tina
I really do wish I could help. Hang in there, I keep thinking that things will turn around and I know they will. Things will fall into place! I wish you and your son a Merry Christmas.
Tina
I have a Franklin Goes to School, Blues Clue's Big Easy, and Chutes and Ladders Game I could send you... my son has outgrown them. The problem would be I couldn't afford to send them to you for a few weeks unless someone else reads this and can pay for the postage? I'd be happy to give them to you.
Tina
I can recommend going to www.narms.com if you are able to drive. There are great jobs here, merchandising and other retail jobs. Also, the mystery shopping jobs are real, I have many links to mystery shopping companies who need people. I should warn you that the pay isn't great $10 to $15 a job usually, but you can schedule to do several a day. And sometimes you have to pay for something upfront and you are reimbursed for it, like food or something. There is also much paperwork involved and you must have a computer. Last year I was only working part time and I used the mystery shopping to help pay for Christmas. It might be a little late to do that this year, but who knows, you might be able to squeeze a pay check or two in! If anyone is interested please email me and I'll get out my list of sites and list them. Best of luck.
Michelle, I can't send you financial help right now because I am in the same situation, however I can add you to my prayers. Please stay strong and faithful for yourself and your children's sake. You never know what the next minute or the next hour or the next day might bring. Hang in there.

Hi, I just read about what happened to you, donating to that woman who was defrauding you. I am so very sorry, I actually cried when I read that. I know I would be so happy to get help from someone and I'd never lie and I know there must be many other's on there that are legit too, and it is sad there are those who would take advantage when there are those of us in real need!!! God Bless you for your efforts and I believe in Karma and that woman will have it come back on her.

I'm a single mom. My son is 8 years old. I love cats, reading, taking drives, mountains, being outdoors, movies, theater, Christmas, candles, scrapbooking, fish (we have 2 tanks). I volunteer at my son's school and I'm coaching one of his educational teams at school right now. I am studying to be a nutritionist, but it's taking me a long time to get through my course material due to all my health problems and making sure that being a mom comes first!
We like to play board games and read together and just do lots of things spending time together.
I am a 39 year old single mom of a wonderful 9 year old boy. I have numerous health issues and really need an angel to help me out!
10 years ago I fell off a ladder and I have a chronic back/hip injury that affects me daily. 5 years ago I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's, a thyroid disease. This year I was also diagnosed with Fibromyaliga and CFS. Last year I had a uterine biopsy and was diagnosed with hyperplasia with atypia, which means pre-cancerous cells were forming. I was on a high dosage of meds that are supposed to fight that but in the end the cancer won out and I was diagnosed with Uterine Cancer a few months ago. I had a complete hysterectomy about 3 weeks ago and the good news is that the pathology report is excellent. The Cancer is gone and I need no further treatment. However, all of the surgical proceedures, medications and doctors appointments have left me in debt and barely able to pay bills and worried about Christmas.
I know, it sounds terrible! And it has been, but I am a good person, I have alot of faith and the love of my son. I have a wonderful son and I need to keep it all together for him. The diseases and meds and this and that have caused weight gain and I'm constantly tired and my back bothers me alot, but I still work. I am not on any type of government aid. But I am stressed... money is getting tight. I haven't been able to work as much as I usually do lately with everything going on. I really need help!!!
Any help would be appreciated! I don't know who reads these pages but money of course would help. If you want to send gift cards for groceries that would be nice.
I do not drink, I do not do drugs. I am educated and I do work full time. My job is flexible and allows me to spend alot of time with my son and not have him in child care. I think being a parent is the most important job in the entire world and I take it very seriously.
If you want to help by making a car payment let me know and I can send you payment info... or by making my SMUD payment. I can understand someone's hesitancy to just send money, which would be appreciated, but I also would love any specific help. If you want to send a Walmart or Target etc.. gift card, that would help.
I will survive this, but the stress over money doesn't help my health and doesn't help me concentrate on getting well. At this point I am almost 3 months behind on my car payment and it will be taken away soon. If you can make a payment to the company that would be wonderful!
I guess I am hoping an angel will read this and help us out. I know there are good people in this world.
