		<description>I am a single mother who usually suffers fom backache, Iam old enough for having a child who is just 7 years old. He is a very smart boy and I am worried about him because I am very old to be a mother of a small boy. I would like to ask for a charitable help to contribute to my boy´s education, by affording me a contribution which can help me to establish a small business in which I can teach my child how to work  and how to organize  himself for his future life.  He will have the opportunity to get a better education and to find the pathway for a decent integrated life full of moral values and that can  surely illustrate a good example of dignity  to future generations.  I will appreciate your noble contribution.  thanks.</description>

		<description>Hello, 

I am in dire need of medical attention!  The approximate cost is $20,000.00. I have worked all of my life; and like so many, I am challenged by the economic changes in our country.  In the past, I have given donations of food, clothing and money with an open heart.  Now, I am faced with a situation of need. Your help and consideration is greatly appreciated.</description>

		<description>Hello,
      I&#039;ve been sending mails to almost everywhere but I receive no replies.
      I&#039;m badly in need of $1000/ for the setting up of a small farm here in my place, India. My life is in ruins, I am jobless and handicaped. At present I am living with my brother&#039;s paltry income. He has a big family to feed on. 
      Just that amount would make a big difference in my life. Please donate graciously and wholeheartedly to:

		<description>I&#039;ll tell you all something!  I&#039;ll answer all your needs when my intuitive nature and innovative spirit becomes a reality in our universe and SO IT IS!  Never give up &amp; never say this is a bunch of BS.  If you have the ability to imagine, be grateful at the same time,and literally feel what you imagine then it shall be.  Tell your family, tell your friends waht you see and the universe will work the rest of it out for you.  We create in our lives what we want and what we believe in.  And,,,,it depends on just the route you have chosen to take in your life.  Do you take every breath for granted and do you take care of the physical self that houses the very thing you all are denying.  Your spirit!  Be careful and be true to the preciousness of your lives.  You dont wake up and dream of having 100,000.00.  It may seem something to you but the universe understands a different kind of relationship with yourself and its deep down inside all of you.  Dont ever give up and start dreaming and seeing what you want.  You must feel it, speak it, and think it! It&#039;ll come once you released that into the Universe.  You will get more of the same what most of you have released into the Universe because thats where you are placing your negative thoughts and feelings therefore is your reality.

Peace and love to you all!</description>

		<description>I believe in miracles and I believe that anything can happen if you put your mind to it. I am a young pastor in Phoenix, Arizona and we have a church that has several youth and children intervention programs with a high success rate of redirecting these powerful new minds in a more positive path to become future business leaders in America and around the world. However, I am currently facing a financial challenge and desire to one day bring or church to a place of greater prosperity so that we can provide more then we are doing now to the communities around us and aboard. In addition, our dream is to assist with efforts in helping children dieing in Sudan, African and in other parts of the world. We have a vision that is loaded with outreach and intervention but finances is our only setback, I desire to come under the tutelage of one of these great people to better understand funding development so I can teach others beyond the church how to manage there money and how to create wealth no matter what there endeavors are in life. I believe in miracles and I believe that anything can happen if you put your mind to it. If anyone knows a person who can teach us more about finance / funding development please contact me at: bmcneal2000@aol.com / www.spiritandlifeworldministries.org .</description>

		<description>I have read all of the above request and replies. I don&#039;t think that this is a site to request help from any of the above mentioned people, I don&#039;t even think any of the above people have even read this page to begin with. 

    Yes most of us, who are in the poor working class, or as it can be right now, not working and losing or lost our homes and so forth, we do need help.  

    Unfortunatly, I don&#039;t see any of them helping any of us any time soon, since they really don&#039;t help individuals to begin with. 

    Yes, I to have recieved the $3500.00 fake check (still have it)and have also sent out more than 100 letters to all sorts of foundations seeking help to get a fresh start, Nothing, but in the mean time we get further and further behind only being able to pay some and not all the bills each month. Going without medical attention or not being able to go to the dentist to get that cracked tooth fixed, or to get the much needed glasses to see better with or even putting off buying the medication that we need. 

     Bottom line they made their money how every they made it and they don&#039;t like nor will they even consider helping a person or a family in need, that will only happen if you become a charity or another country. 

     If I sound down on them I&#039;m not I&#039;m just facing so much loss and sadness that I don&#039;t see anyone coming to help anytime soon. Oh by the way I have really tried almost everything legal that is, including visualization of what I need and besides a big major headach that didn&#039;t work either.

     So it boils down to becoming homeless and doing whatever you can to survive, I learned that the hard way growing up in childcare center&#039;s and foster homes.  No one is gong to help you, you have to keep trying to find your own way, then maybe one day you will come up with something that might make you rich, too and then you can be like Mr. P.Ross {may he rest in peasce} and help a lot of real people with real issues, so that they can have a brighter tomorrow and better nigths sleep knowing that they will have a bed of their own and not the ground to sleep on.

     Just don&#039;t give up people, don&#039;t give up, I know it&#039;s hard I live it every day. I was the single mother, I lost a child, I have a child doing his second tour of duty. I know the pain and am feeling it all the time.  It&#039;s bill time do you have enough to pay the creditor&#039;s heck no!! I&#039;m talking every day bill&#039;s, we don&#039;t and can&#039;t live beyound our needs, never have. Company&#039;s don&#039;t pay according to the economy, so if you get behind you might as well forget about catching up without help. It&#039;s next to impossible. Yes it can be done but with help from somewhere.  Question is help from where?  Well people try to stay above water and pray alot cause only God can make it work out for us. Another person lost in the distant ocean of invisibilty.</description>

		<description>am writing  because I am in serious need of care for my medical condition.My story began it&#039;s downward spiral in Aug 2008 and continued downhill to this very moment.I had a seemingly innocuous job related injury occur while working for a Wal*Mart neighborhood market in Arizona.I could not know at that time the course of events to come would end up with the loss of my,home,income,mother and total physical disability and that the  daily struggle just to keep my heart beating would begin.I went to my supervisor on Aug 12 and reported a shoulder injury that had occurred in the course of my job as a cashier. she then took me to the Dr. who put me on restricted duty  which lessened my hours at work.My husband then lost his job after a verbal altercation with the store manager. he promised  that he would get a &quot;new &quot; job with in a week .of course the  economy collapsed at that point leaving us with one part time paycheck  .I then began to suffer from chest pain and was forced to go to the hospital tests showed that my heart had severely diminished  blood flow to the front of the heart during  periods of physical activity.an angiogram failed to show the reason for this loss.I was released  from the hospital only to be readmitted and the ultimate out come was a total thyroidectomy. during surgery complications arose and the parathyroid was damaged. I then was released from the hospital and my mother called  to inform me she had been diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer and given 6 months to live.In the meantime I was  faced with huge medical bills,no paycheck,no insurance and no help from anyone.so I filed for SSI,bankruptcy and was evicted from my apartment for non payment of rent.I came back to California to be close to my my dying mother. sadly she died  2 days after I arrived in hemet so I had just enough time to say goodbye.after running out of money we landed in the car. and continued to wait for the decision from SSI which I now know was a denial ,I have filed for reconsideration as I desperately need the medical insurance and the medicine .I have no insurance and  can not obtain the medicine I need to stay alive without seeing a dr. nor can I afford the medicine. S please I need help through the  government denials as I have daily chest pain from a heart that is barely beating and I am getting weaker every day.The only thing I know of that can change things for me is  somehow ,someway getting to see a dr.I am currently homeless ,and  no one will help me. my health worsens daily.
