in response to Aiden Is Loved...We are in desperate need of help for Christmas for our children. My husband has been out of work for about 3 years now, I am very disabled and so is one of our sons. My oldest son has to live at home because he too is very sick. I am so afraid of what if anything our children will wake up with on Christmas morning. Please, I pray you consider us for your Christmas program.
in response to blesseed...I'm sorry that this has happened.You can call to a neighboring city or state and ask them. That's the only thing that I could do.They might be more receptive if you did it yourself. Good Luck and God Bless
I seriously need any kind of car. I am struggling to survive. I have had lots of dr appointments that I have missed. I am on medication for clinical depression, very high blood pressure, high cholesterol. My anxiety attacks are horrible. I have been so depressed that I can't eat or sleep. I often get sick, if I even get to go to the store, that I have to hurry and get out. Much abuse I have suffered mentally and physically, by my ex in my younger years. I't hard to get over it. Sometimes, I can't even go to the pharmacy to pick up my meds. There's a small church that I love to go to, but it's uptown and Im in the country. I just fell like everything is closing in on me. I also, like to visit and help others who need someone. And I often share food,clothes etc. Stay and help out the sick ones in my family. My brother died two yrs ago with cancer. He was alone, except for me and a few other caring people. Also stayed with my mother(my best friend) after she had 2 strokes. I am thankful for every second that I got to be with them. I love them with all my heart. The more I stay home, the worse my depression and anxiety attacks are. I need to get back on my feet, after fighting a foreclosure on the house I live. It is in need of some severe repairs. If you can help, it would mean a lot.. I know others are waiting for help too. God Bless this web site and the people. Thank you

does anyone one know of a good place in wisconsin that will be able to fix a truck we do have to running order that will not charge the disabled that have no income and a wife who gets very little unemployment? salvation army dont the most here thry give is 50.00 , goodwill dont help except for food, st.vincent the most 50.00 if you got no help from anyone else.theres no county aid i know ive been fighting my workers comp claim since 2000 won it, but now that they found be to be 100% disabled after 2 failed spinal fusions, millions in bills, etc and meds 24hrs aday for pain, they want to appeal, so now another 2 yrs min. of waiting just to drag it out or try to find a way not to pay me. well that adds up to still no income. i filed for ssi, ssd but as per my atty. expect to be turned down the first fileing and then appeal it but either way thats 2 yrs out as well, the state says- thats just the way things are set up, there really is no intrest in setting up any new plans to start programs to help the poor. wow our goverment said, people are like batteries once the battery gors dead just replace with a new one. i asked so then were do i go for help then because im injured and disabled perm. because of it at work, there remark was well if things are that bad ther are hospitals if your mentally disabled or prisons if you break the law because theres nothing out here.then you wouldnt have the worries at least. wow can you belive this goverment? anyway if some one can help us asap we would be forever greatful to you. thanks wisconsin goverment for all your doing to hurt people that worked there whole life, then get hurt at work, and because of the great laws you have in place to help ins. comps., and the companys them selfs, so they dont have to pay or take 20yrs to do so in hopes you just go away. just think wisconsins the birthplace of workers comp. the state that will always side with the companys and and ins. companys just for the big dollar kick backs, who cares who it hurts. the worst part of it these same rules and laws will be in every state by 2015, so if you are geeting help in another state, and they force them to pay your med. bills, a weekly check etc. soon it will be gone and millions more will be in this same boat and things in this country then will be worse then the nat. debt. thanks to all who do care and that are will to help people like us, you people are what make life living for.

in response to shellymea...All I have are the ones on the list of my post, that's all. you might call your representative or congress person and ask if they know of any programs like that, churches, United Way, Catholic charities, Salvation Army, Goodwill or ask one or two on the post that are nearest you and your local. Oh, you might try Soulight she has a listing andI think it's different. May God Bless

i go for low cost car, however, before you buy a low cost car, be sure that this car is working. how would you know if that car is still in good condition? if you're going to purchase it, try first to consult a reliable auto repair mechanic.
in response to theshivelys...It's been a while since I posted those and I don't remember but if you find oneclose by, within a state or two, call them up and ask if they have anything closer or know of one in your area. Hope this helps.
My Daughter has been signed up for a while now.she is 20 years old.she has a job but has No car.I pray free charity cars helps her.she is trying her best to make it.I am her Father with Parkinson Disease and I don't have the funds to help her.and it breaks my heart to see her struggle.but she keeps on going.I will keep on praying for her and I pray others due.

The Original Charity Cars (DBA Free Charity Cars) is a 501-C-3 non-profit charity, EIN 59-3362703. Established in 1996, our founding mission is to provide refurbished donated vehicles to struggling individuals or qualified entities. Considered the pioneers of the free car-ownership concept, our entrepreneurial organization is totally self-sufficient and succeeds without a penny of government funding. Year after year, our charity leads the nation in awarding free vehicles to deserving candidates across America (over 4000), many times paying for the down-payment for auto insurance, as well as the tag, title and registration fees. Additional auto related assistance provided may include mechanical repairs, body-shop repairs, roadside assistance, warranty purchases, parts purchases, rental cars, or even the down-payment for the purchase of a new or used car.
The Original Charity Cars has enjoyed an avalanche of local and national publicity, including being featured Montel Williams, Good Morning America, CBS Morning News, and Two Guys Garage. Articles about the program have appeared in a host of publications including People Magazine, Women's World Magazine, Motor Trend, The Non-Profit Times, and The Chronicle of Philanthropy.

in response to totally stressed...i usually do not read long posts, but now i am afteer johny waker, wtf, this is so wired that people just need other person or grup. i remember "to be happy' you need: to belong , acceptance, and to heve progress. it's so wired and sad how many people are lonely, the thing is, to not be lonely you have to offer, do you have something? have to be positive and constructive
in response to Schmidty...No, thank you; you were a wonderful help in calming me and that helps with my health. I called all of the vehicle organizations and unfortunately because I am not living in the states that offer such I am out of luck there, but I am not giving up. I am now looking at salvage yards and wrecker places; I was told they may have something. Thank you so much, you really did help last night.
in response to LadyValhalla...Yes, keep trying and remember that I'm hear with an ear and a shoulder , if you need them. Thank you for the kind words. Good Luck and God Bless
thanks for the list. I called those in my area and they are unfortunately unable to assist because my ex has the kids, but I am not giving up. Thank you for talking to me and being so kind last night; you are a wonderful person.
FCC is an amazing non profit organization, I am collecting old,unwanted,or brokend cell phones and small electronics to help support FCC. If anyone would like to help support FCC by donating please contact me. FCC really needs the help in order to help all those in need that are members on there site.
Hi Totally Stressed, how are you? I so hope you're having a good day. You're a neat person and AidPage is better because you're a part of it. There's probably people who care about you that you don't realize they care! I look forward to speaking with through out the day. Have a good one!
Sincerely, ComputerGirl
in response to ComputerGirl...hello again ComputerGirl. thanks for the comment. no ones ever called me precious. thats different in a good feelingway. maybe caring and warm. but ill stop there. anxiety? yes, ive been diagnosed with a variety of different disorders. thou prozac and symbalta[or whatever you call it] didnt work. both just put me in a chair, with more then average weird thoughts. i was so up and down with the prescribed things they had me on? i quit taking all of them. i dont have mood swings. my brain is but a mess that no one of them[doctors] have figured it out. maybe some day. youd really have to check out my original post about my mishap to get the feel for my situation. i find out more all the time, even 6 yrs later. information is witheld from you for your own good alot. but eventually, some slip by unknowing idividuals enlightens you unpurposely. just last week? talking to yet another case worker. it came out that i was actually deceased when they found me. that was very unsettling. my first question was "how long was i dead?" it couldnt have been that long. i dont recall. i dont remember the wreck, or alot of things about my life. they come to me in conversation most of the time. i was never weak. crazy? you have to know me. ive always been a little nuts. you have to be. as for normal? i dont think ill ever be normal again. people dont live through things like i did and get back to normal. i really dont think i was ever normal to begin with. crazy,stupid,daring and strong[bragging] id say. when you do things no one else would. you find out your limitations[your bodies anyway]. ive broke bones,lacerated,contused and generally abused myself alot. thats where my pain threshold lies in a good way for me. yet i never imagined the kind of hurt like i got the day of my accident. i think my prior lifes play is actually what saved me. and why i do not know. i am glad to be still among the world. but now things are hard, very hard. where it was so simple before. it keeps me occupied. i have anxiety just turning the back door handle to go out. weather im leaving or not. its a very long and complex story. starshine has had a good fill of it, along with all here that reads my posts. and now youve heard quite enough for now[or read]. you are special, just like we all are. speaking of food. im hungry. will consume and return later. C-ya[is FREE starshine].
in response to totally stressed...You are such a precious person! You may be having anxiety attacks? Has a doctor ever said so? Taking meds for anxiety attacks isn't shameful! It doesn't mean your weak or crazy. You seem to be anything but weak or crazy to me!!! I have the impression that you need a helping hand with something, something like anxiety! Millions of Americans suffer with anxiety. Some finally find the right medications that help them. And, they live a normal, productive life without all the anxiety. Just food for thought!
You're too precious to suffer like this....Sincerely, ComputerGirl
in response to ComputerGirl...thank you so much for the post. i breathe as such continually. it is good, you are right. i go outside on my deck alot to breathe cool fresh air. it really does help. my problems as always are with my brain. it[not i] doesnt understand alot of my issues. when the wirlwind starts in my head? panic attacks abound. believe me, i go for a slow walk around the outside of the house, taking in the cool air. and i do exhale deeper than i inhale. gets rid of the nausea rather quickly. until yet another event[doesnt take much] brings more on. ive dealt with these things for 6 years. some days are simple. some are very bad. but im still here and trying evry day. aging ever more does not help. but posting with everyone here, is more therapeutic, than any drug, or trip to the quacks office[sorry.thats the way i see them][thou some did save my life and get me this far]. nice to see a post from you. some of the handles here are too much for my crazy brain to remember. yours is easier. starshine,schmidty,dawnmariexx and inspiration are like imbeded in there. yet i feel bad not to be able to recall others without regressing back through my homepage. they come to me here and there. thou, if things arent right in my face alot of times? theyre gone until something causes my memory bank to kick. kind of like a pop-up.haha computer girl. C-ya later hopefully, and the others close to my posts. not having a good day. they come and go. i most of the time, just wish theyd go for good. later to all. ozzies being a tyrant. popped a few more keys off my laptop. how do you spank a large parrot for being bad? you cant. so ill cage him, once i catch his winged butt. thats the hardest part. big strong beaks make you bleed[hes only 4yrs.], but he knows daddy has a temper too. they are surely very intelligent. to him his cage[home] is jail. and hes not going without a fight. kind of like humans. lol
in response to totally stressed...Totally Stressed, I don't want to go too far out on a limb here. So, I'll be careful. One thing you could do for stress is breathe! Breathe deeply. Pull into your stomach. Hold your breath a few seconds and then blow it all out. If you don't blow all the air out, it can cause a stomach ache. So inhale deeply.
Exhale with the same force of engery! One thing humans don't do when we're stressed is breathe deeply. We breathe very shallow! Our bodies are made to have air inside. Suck it up! And let it out!
May sound too simple to be true or helpful. But, if you let it, it could be a miracle for you! Stress can cause us to fight against what is good for us. Accompanied by human nature, and we can have our hands full with ourselves. There lies the relief within!!!! ComputerGirl caring about you!
in response to totally stressed...It takes me forever as I not geared to sit all day at the computer. I will let you know. I have to check to see if I got mail and eat lunch.
My mind is like a tornado too. lol
in response to Starshine...right ther with ya starshine. it takes me some time to post at times. im a hunt and peck. cant watch the screen too. if you find anything that can slow your mind down a bit. let me know. mine is like a tornado. lol
in response to totally stressed...Thank you as I am always doing that. Mind thinks faster than I can type. But I put rears down verses years one day and a member one to one me as I had put rears down instead. So I have to watch what I type and take it slowly.
Starshine
in response to wise...You and others are waiting to be called. A lady who needed it finally got her car. I don't know of any products that you can purchase to sale. I would google.com drop shipping and see what you come up with but I would really watch it in regards to the companies out there.
Good luck
starshine
in response to Starshine...so basically, it's like the lottery...just waiting till my number is called?.. anyway, do you know of any products that sells quick that i can purchase wholesale for a small fee?
in response to wise...It goes by donations and people use to think it was by city or state and if you had the most votes. I just went there did my thing and wait to see if I got lucky. That just about what you can do. Good Luck
Starshine
in response to totally stressed...Glad to hear I can use C-Ya. I feel the same way as everyone is important here to and so are you.
See you later ( I just need to spell better)
Starshine
in response to Starshine...C-ya is FREE. its also easy. easy's me, just like free. love everyone here. dont want to leave people out or skip over like it doesnt matter to me. my one minded tendancy's and memory problems get in the way. posting with every member is most important to me. ill remember things days later at times. and it doesnt sit well in my mind when i cant respond or post back accordingly. were all human. were all here together. and were all important. well. to me anyway. C-ya[is free]lol
c
in response to totally stressed...You end up here as you made a comment about FCC. See you on main page and this gets there too. Have a great weekend and cya soon. I stealing cya from you.
Starshine
in response to totally stressed...If I had ten million I wouldn't be broke as I help people out but watch it too. Keep your original post as it is great. I looked at it to see what was TBI and then figured it out. I don't feel sorry for you just want to see you and everyone in better way. And you are strong person!!!! We see that here.
The truck business would leave me really stressed too. But many don't have insurance as can't afford it and I know about gas and food cost the same by time you get it.
Enjoy the snow and maybe you will get warm weather soon.
Stressed in California too,
Starshine
in response to Starshine...if i had ten million? id still be broke darlin. id share with my friends here. ive thought about just removing even the condensed original post about my wreck. i dont really want people to feel sorry for me. id rather that they felt good for me that i was strong enough to get back up and try it again. sorry about your leg problems. thats one thing that still works good on me. even if i cant find the cruise button. they do work well. i just cant get under 125mph. just like[lol] the dodge. i definetly get better miles per gallon thou. dont know if i ever shared that info with ya. the dodge is doin around 4 or 5mpg. not good. theres fuel called cam2. it loves that stuff. will rip the rear end out on that. 8.25 per gallon for that here. race trucks or cars arent cheap. when all else is down here. it becomes a daily driver. wow. a trip to the store can cost almost as much as the food bill from shopping. it sits all winter if possible. not so this year. my son drives it to work and where we need to get. but the tag is expired now. and no ins.. if hed get pulled over? it would be impounded. wed most likely lose it for not being able to afford to get it out. ouch. 21 years and about 40 grand in it. id do myself probably. not thats TOTALLY STRESSFULL. haha
in response to totally stressed...I wish you could too. I couldn't sleep last night took sleeping pill woke at 3 am and got a 1/4 cup of beer cooler and had it back to sleep. I love a 12 hour sleeping pill just can't turn off the brain and my leg is bothering me. So worry about that. Keep raiding the son's booze free. You would be in shorts at 47 but I need to put some food on my bones.
always good chatting with you and said a prayer for you and many others here. Man I wish I had the money to help people out.
Starshine
in response to Starshine...wish i could get beer on the EBT card. the only way i can sleep is to drink untill i pass out. alcoholic? maybe. at least im not a doctor'd up drug addict. well at least not yet. tryng to be funny today. stole some of my sons bud light. yech. im not on a diet. lights are to see with. but they are[what was that,again.]FREE. see there. found another one. back at ya sweetheart. schmidty. am i a jerk or what? we did have fun starshine. ozzie didnt care for it. he doesnt like snow. hes from south america ya know? hope your rest is good. id love upper fortys right now. might get my shorts out.
in response to totally stressed...Hi
I love rock n roll too. And the snow thing was funny. I am glad you had fun and something to laugh at.
I guess have to put on some music today as can't get any snow to fall on me. It is 47 out and that is cool for me.
See you later.
Starshine
I want to go back to bed and it won't be long.
