Aidpage

I know it's been said but keep hanging in there. I left an abusive relationship after 9 1/2 years, 4 children in towe, and a full semester of my last year of college to be a teacher. It's worth the struggle! It might feel like it is forever but once you are there you'll back and think, "Wow, that wasn't as hard as I thought". You'll be more confident, resourceful, and on the right track to being you.

I know that a lot of agencies seem to be running out of funds quickly but try the United Way, Toys for Tots, Salvation Army, and Catholic Charities. Also start calling every local church in your area asking for help for Christmas and what resources they have or know about. You might just be able to find a church that is willing to give you a deposit for the apartment.

Hello! Thanks for your reply and I am still here unfortunately but it is a good thing for now because we have nowhere to go. I would be very interested in help from you. I was offered some help a couple of weeks ago from someone and I became really upset because he never helped like he promised. I thought it was really rude and cruel to take advantage of my hopes as he did. He was someone here on Aidpage but oh well.. You cant trust everyone. Anyway, I would be interested and that is a sweet thing for you to do and I hope you can help me and many others who need it. Thanks.

Diamond My heart goes out to you, did you find a place to go ? If not I will get on line and find you a safe place to go.  I am so sorry PLEASE do not go back to your husband or father of your child. You deserve better then this, you deserve a life and so does your child.  Do you have a car ? I am in N Houston we are currently trying to learn how and raise the funds to set up safe houses for young ladies such as your self. PLEASE let me know I will find you a place in your area to go for a while to be safe and get on your feet.

God loves you and so do we, so don't give up 

I am so sorry to hear that. I now how it feels to have nowhere to go and that feeling is very scary. One thing you have that I dont thought is a partner to stick with you. I am glad for you that you dont have to do it alone. Be happy and proud of yourselves and dont think bad thoughts about yourselves just because of this. Beating oneself up is the worst you can do in a hard time. It takes alot of your energy out of you and isnt worth it. While it is natural to worry and a part of being human, having the feeling of self worth and thankfulness for what you Do have brightens even the worst days. If I ever become a millionaire I will help everyone I can. I hope in the future when we are both in a better situation we can find each other and talk about our success. Think positive always. You and your family are forever in my prayers. If you ever need a friend to talk to I am here.

Hey, Diamond - you are on the right track, investing in your education to improve your life and the lives of your children.  A local women's shelter or group or maybe even a local church may be able to help you get out of your relationship and help you get on your feet.  I don't know the details of your situation, but have you applied for food stamps or WIC?  Your utilities company may be able to put you on a low-income payment plan.  Maybe you are due for a raise at work?  Or a promotion?  Good luck - I really wish I could send you a big chunk of cash but that's not possible for me right now. - Rosie, www.BenefitsByRosie.com

Thank you very much, likewise.

I hope things get better for you.

Best wishes

I am really getting frustrated. Everything is a freaking mess in my life and meanwhile there are millions of people out there who are so rich and overly wealthy they dont even have to wipe their own butts if they choose not to. But someone like me working like a dog to just barely get by and sometimes not even able to get by, has to go without the BASIC NEEDS a human demands in order to just live. All these millionaires who do contribute to huge companies and donate theur money to all these charities dont even realize that most of that money never gets to those who really need or deserve it. Why does everything have to be damn near impossible and why have people given up helping those in need who are at least trying to do for themselves but cant catch a break. I am wearing myself thin and cannot take it anymore. I am 30 and I feel like I am 90 and ache everyday and still cannot get anywhere. I have been on this stupid site since last year and have not had one message, NOT ONE! Let alone a message from someone willing to help me and my children out. This is the kind of thing that makes me hate rich people and want to enforce communism so that everything can be fair for everyone. I knnow for a fact I wouldnt be so damn greedy if I were Rich. I am more than poor and I will never turn anyone away if I am able to help them. What does that say about all those rich people out there enjoying their martinis in Tahiti!

please help me immediately
