in response to The Real Cie...I don't know what to say, I have bipolar, Fibro,ADD PTSD,. I don't work lost my job, waiting for disibality, but I wont be to live on that. I havent eaten in a few days. But there is no help for me, and this is bull. We have TV minister living in million dollar home, they are worth billions. They live tax free, almost everything they buy is tax free. Company come to the US they are tax free for several years. who made these stupid tax laws?
Hey. That is such a cute dog in your profile picture. I love small dogs. I wish I could have pets were I live. They said i could have fish but who wants a fish. You cant pet it or walk it or play with it.
There are a lot of people here who need help so I'm not terribly hopeful, but here goes. I am mentally ill. I have type II bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, and obsessive compulsive disorder which partially manifests as hoarding disorder. I have hoarded objects, not animals. I have 5 cats, which some may think is "a lot of cats" but it does not qualify as animal hoarding. I am working on the hoarding problem but it is an uphill battle. Sometimes I do better than others.
In spite of my mental illness, I do work. I make well above minimum wage, as I make $17 an hour. I work 32 hours a week. This is about all I can do without it making me extremely depressed or physically sick. I also have fibromyalgia and sciatica as well as asthma and mild hypertension.
I fall into a marginalized category. Because I make the salary I do, I do not qualify for food stamps. However, once taxes and insurance are taken out of my pay, I only take home about $1400 a month. I am in an upside down mortgage in a mobile home and my credit is damaged. Thus refinancing seems to be out of the question--no-one will touch me. Between mortgage and lot rent, I pay $1100 a month.
My mother has helped me out for several years with utility bills. I do not eat much except at work. I get things like cheese whiz and crackers and canned fruit juice or jello that does not need refrigeration when I am at home as I do not have a working refrigerator.
Last year my mobile home incurred very bad damage when the water heater started leaking and I didn't know it until my son realized that the carpet in the hall was wet. The walls and floors of 3 rooms had to be removed. Overall the repairs cost over $20,000. My mother helped out with this. But she is stuck with my late father's medical bills and really can't help any more. I am ashamed to ask her for help anyway.
I do not have working plumbing except in the bathroom sink. Fortunately I am able to shower and wash my clothes at work. I do not have much in the way of furniture but I'm not so worried about that.
I still owe $43,000 on this horrible 15% mortgage, which I have had for 10 years. The original mortgage was $45,000. You can see that I am mostly paying interest. I am in a no-win situation.
I just got through paying off a bunch of payday loans that I had to take out when I was doing a month unpaid internship to obtain my LPN license last April. I also maxed out my credit cards. I still owe about $1200 in credit card bills. This destroyed my credit, which I had worked very hard to build back up to a passable score.
I have medical issues which I have not been able to afford to take care of and I have not been to a dentist in 6 years.
I feel very depressed most of the time and think about suicide every day. I am not a lazy person but I have had a lot of barriers to my success in my life.
It seems that if I had nothing at all there would be some resources from me. But since I am working and have this mobile home I fall into the Twilight Zone where no-one can or will help me.
Thanks for reading.
in response to seekinghelp2012...Consolidating debts is rarely the best way to go in trying to reduce your debt levels. Best thing to do is to develope a budget and a plan and stick to it.
Does anyone know of a place to consolidate debts for persons with bad credit. I would even consider peer to peer lending if there are any wealthy individuals willing to help a single, graduate student, with a full time job. I've suffered some financial misfortunes but I'm trying to get back on track. I need about $50,000 and I can comfortably pay be $450 - $550 per month. Please help in any way that you can and it will be greatly appreciated.
Hello and Happy holidays! I am not one 2 ask but at this point in my life I have 2 bury my pride and call out. I am a single mother in a city all bymyself.

IF THERE IS ANY HELP OUT THERE ENEN A CHRISTMAS CARD it would light up a needy childs face. Thank you and god bless

Help! I need help on bills. I've been disabled for some time now (I had a stroke). I have a couple of bills that have gone into collections, and I was talking to a collector recently who mentioned these resources. If it's possible I would like to get these bills paid off. There are a couple that are $2000 and not being able to work to pay these off has become a problem. I don't make enough with disability to make payment arrangements in order to pay these off. I'm considered permanently disabled. I want to work, but because of the tremor I have in my left hand and very limited use of it, I'm not able.
I was working on a farm and the boss that thinks she knows how to run a farm well she fired me for no reason what so ever if there is anything that you can do for me and my finance who is disabled with a service dog find a place to live we are in desperate need of a place to live so please help and god bless you
I feel so alone and suffer from very bad depression. I know, there are lots of people who need help, besides me. I have gone through some horrible abuse. as a young mother. My daughter died at 4 yrs old and I was beaten and made to go back to work instantly. I want into shock, but by the grace of God I managed to get away from my ex. I raised my 2 sons alone and was happy for awhile. Also, I went to a technical college on a pell grant and received a degree. My life improved for awhile until my job shut down. I began getting sicker and more depressed. The abuse from my ex has taken it's toll on my 2 sons and I. One is mentally challenged, and my youngest is looking for work. He is a hard worker and is very hyper. He had to take ritalin in elementary school. I can feel his pain and depression as, sometimes he tries to drink his problems away. I feel like I have really let my family down, because I did the same thing, after my job closed . But I have been sober for many years. Anxiety attacks and high blood pressure, plus clinical depression for me is horrible. We're on a FIXED income...but still can't make it . Our home is going down hill fast. No water in kitchen...kitchen floor is falling through. Neither of my 2 sons know anything about carpentry. Nor, can we afford to pay anyone to fix it. But I thank God for his blessings. I love to go to my church. There is where we need to be. I can't go, because it's a small church uptown and I live in the country. I would like to get a car of anykind. To go to dr appointments and pay what I can on utilities. Also, to pick up medicine and visit the sick and poor like me.....I love trying to help others. I lost my baby sister at age 16 in a car accident. My best friend my mother 4 years ago. And my humble, beloved brother 2 yrs ago. It hurts so bad. I feel alone and scared for my family. Please pray for us and God Bless all of you. I need some friends.

in response to dimples1313...Thank you Anita, dimples1313~! God is awesome! We just have to trust him with all things and he will guide, protect and lead us to where we need to be! The times we are living in are difficult we just have to pray and stay true to God and let him bless and protect us! My Ex Landlord and I are still friends but she plans to bulldoze the house down and not rent to anyone else. I was really afraid that we were going to die in that house and I prayed harder than I ever had in my life and I just knew God would rescue us out of that situation! And he did! Praise God! If we listen he will guide us and lead us to where we need to be then he will shower us with many blessings to let us know it was his will! God Bless You! Thank you for your concern and support!
in response to Starshine...Hi, Starshine! She didn't have the money to fix the house up. She is the Aunt of a close friend of mine so I didn't want to get her into trouble plus she's a Christian too. The house is still falling down and I have a few things that I still have to get out of there. We are trying to get it out before it falls down! We are blessed to have made it out of there when we did. Everytime we go back over there I get dizzy and sick from the mold and nervous over the snakes! I love where we live now...but we are on the Madrid Earthquake Fault Line now we feel the earthquake tremors every morning~ We are considering moving again even though we really like where we are now but we can't get our money together it's been a struggle~! I dont' guess it's really safe anywhere anymore! We just have to Trust in God and let him protect and guide us! Thank you for your love and support! God Bless You! Love, MadonnaButterfly

I'm not sure if you're one person or a foundation of some kind. I'm on your page now; however, it's not clear who I'm speaking with. The name: Nobody's Someone is remarkable. Whoever thought of this name is creative and talented in my opinion. Nobody's Someone has an emotional catch to it! Caused me to take a pause!
