         in response to Neil Hampshire...   I don't recall Christ belittling those who had enough courage to ask for help or mocking them with half truths and apologies. Nor do I remember Christ attacking someone who had wronged him by words or action. A brother or sister in Christ is not meant to hurl words of hate, false platitudes and anger, but to forgive wrongs and pray for the offenders well-being and peace. A devious man or woman can easily hide behind Christs works and words and throw poisoned barbs, but our heavenly father sees the darkness in our hearts and forgives and loves us despite it. Christ died to forgive us of our sins. Are you so above Christ that you cannot look past someone else's faults and sins when your own have been forgiven? Bless you and may you find peace in God's love. Do not give into this temptation of conflict that has been set in the road.

         in response to freakinout...   Lady, is telling me how I am an ignorant mother fucker as you put it something you would call as a Christian to another Christian? Go and address some Pagan or Atheist that way, but you NEVER talk to another brother in Christ that way, do you hear? You believe in the Trinity which I hope is not (Visa, MasterCard, and American Express) then you need to humble yourself and talk more politely. I am sorry for sounding ignorant, and yes, you may pray for me, as I see the world very black and white and not very good at seeing shades of grey. I am very linear and quite straight forward to a fault at times, but this does not mean that I am not a God fearing Christian. This may sound ironic while you are struggling, but tithing while in debt and destitute actually helps to bring blessings from the Lord since you put him first and it sounds crazy, but while I was in prayer, I felt I needed to share this with you. Say how crazy or whatever, but my love for Jesus Christ is stronger so you can hurl any negative criticism you want but I really needed to share this with you. I felt that if you are really a true sister in Christ, you will consider tithing in this very difficult time, and really put your faith and strengthen your relationship with Jesus Christ.

         in response to kasi...   How do you only make $600 a month? Kassandra, this blog for Americans, living in North America, and maybe Canada. Which part of Latin America are you from? In the States, unless you are a young student working part time at a minimum wage job, people make that at the very worst, bikweekly, if not weekly. You can possibly be a mother of 2 and make only $600 a month because even welfare will give you more than that.

Also try your towns community action program. They have lots of programs from child care to public housing assistance and job training, home heating assistance ect. Good luck.

         in response to Neil Hampshire...   Sir. I am a christian, and I have NEVER gone out of my way to reply to these chats; never have, but I felt compelled to communicate I will severely pray for YOU for forgiveness of your judgemental SPIRIT. The way to elevate people and help them find a better/Christian way is to pray for them, LOVE and SERVE them and be an EXAMPLE of a better way of life. I am sure she is doing the best she can with given circumstances!!! Help her and she will change her ways, judge her without the belief that GOD will redeem her is not good and Christlike on your part, so I merly suggest walking in love, serving her by helping with the money and ALLOW GOD to continue to work on her to mold and shape her to be a Godly Woman of God and a positive contribution to her child and society...she is very young (19)??? let God help her.

         in response to freakinout...   I thought you already were a prostitute as I equated exotic dancers to be one and the same. I was surprised that you also pray, as I figured no God fearing Christian would sully her covenant of the family and soil herself and keep clean for the Lord. But I did not think that tou were a fellow believer of the good Lord, and figured that if you were aleady a damned soul who has been following some New Age pagan ways. And one who has chosen to not take the good savior who has died for our sins and become an exotic dancer for men to worship the flesh and do acts of Satan, I figured you would not have a fiber of moral integrity following hedonism. Ma'am, if you are a fellow Christian I suggest you never engage in ungodly activities such as exotic dancing and pray for forgiveness. Maybe this is why you got into this trouble in the first place. I have prayed for you, and this might sound counterintuitive but I suggest you begin tithing during these times and The good Lord will find ways to uplift you.

I don't think some of these obnoxious loud mouth people understand my situation at all. All I'm asking for is help with rent. I'm not asking for a house, a car, shopping sprees or anything like that. I don't understand why these people are attacking me. I have done nothing wrong. I do get food stamps, but I don't qualify for cash aid public assistance. I pray quite a bit. I really appreciate your support. Two people have suggested that I become a prostitute to pay my rent. That's really disrespectful and hurtful. I would NEVER subject myself or my kids to that.

         in response to Neil Hampshire...   What a lame piece of advice! YOUR THE OBLIVIOUS ONE HERE, NOT HER!! Oh yeah, go live of some lonely pervert and pretend your interested so he will pay for your needs! That is the weakest advice I have ever heard and frankly a dangerous one at that. This women needs encouragement to take steps to improve her lot in life not further ruin it and the wellfare of her child! You should be ashamed of yourself for offering to throw her a bone because that is exactly what you have told her to do which is a very foolish piece of advice. I would suggest you get yourself into school and learn a trade through the employment office which can help you finance that so you can get to work right away. Then, apply for state assistance for help with food and shelter which you should qualify for having a child. And most important ask God through His son Jesus to help you and find a good bible teaching church for you both and if you remember to do the right thing in life even though you struggle, you will be successful sister but don't go running to some lonely man. There is a reason that man is lonely and you don't need that kind of help. You are a strong women loved by God wheather you believe that or not. Good-luck in taking this step, prayers to you!

If you could just swallow the pride you have and try to be practical for once for the sake of your child go and make some man happy.

        I am 41 yrs old and have been out of work for quite a few months now. My family has struggled financially alot this year and now I feel like its hit bottom. I just recieved my eviction notice and despite alll my efforts to find work or some public assistance these past few months there's been no success. We've sold anything of value and have no money left. I've even started donating blood regularly for a few extra dollars each week. I don't want my wife and my two little girls to be left out in the cold, but I don't know what to do anymore. I'm not looking for a handout, just a little help with the rent until I get back on my feet or at least until we get our tax return. Please can somebody help me and my family

And you are saying to me this is rude? I do not propose this to women who had normal jobs to go and do this, but you are able to go and help out social geeks and can truly make them happy and they will be happy to shower you material comforts. They might even treat you better than the other losers you are used to dealing with.

        I am usually too proud to ask for help but I am now almost two months behind in rent. I have been unemployed for the last 6 months and unemployment compensation just ran out. I am now a full time student and could pay back whatever you can help with next month when I receive my Financial Aid. I'm not asking for cash, just that my landlord be paid this money. Can show lease and everything along with unemployment info. Just need help this once. Rent is due today and I'm really struggling. Any help would be extremely grateful.

        late on rent, paid all I could on the due date but I'm out of work and don't have anything coming in now the landlord is talking about getting an attorney involved and 200$ more in fees on top of the late fee I already have. My lost job was temporary and ended november and I've had a hard time finding a new job, numerous interviews and places trying to cheat me. This is my last month at the apt and I just need the rest of rent to be free and move on with my life if anyone can help or has some advice I would be greatly appreciative and would keep in contact and pay back anything you could help with. Thank you for reading

        Its very complicated!!! just keep your feet on the floor and your head held high, as high as you can stand. Do whatever you can for your child. I am a 27 year old woman, who survived a tragedy with my 2 younger children. We are burn susrvivors. We lost EVERYTHING and this was 3 years ago. Without the support from friends and family, I dont know where I would be but Im on my own once again and I wake up everyday like if this is a dream or something. I live off of social security which is enough to pay for rent and I dont qualify for public assistance. I m a wreck,,and all I have are my beautiful children..but it hurts inside,and Imean it really hurts when they ask me to take them to eat somewhere that we cant afford or to sign them up with the other kids in activities and I cant.-they say Prayers go Up and Blessings come down..I pray for a better future, good things happen to those whom wait!! enjoy every moment with ur child!!!

You're right, it does make a difference in how you feel. Just don't get stupid like I did, 58-yr-old single woman thinking I could tell someone's character when I first met them -- but "you" don't! I never wanted to feel this way but those "need-your-couch" people may need it for reasons other than to sleep. There's nothing in my apartment worth selling any more, which I'd thought of doing to pay my rent! One old man did it to me after staying on my couch almost two summers! JUST A LITTLE ADVICE, love and pray for people, but it's not safe any more to invite them in while you sleep.

        I recently lost my job of 14 years due to a stroke. I have epilepsy, which keeps getting worse at my 58 years, so was barely making it before being evicted and it was a total miracle I found a nicer apartment for less rent. I am in the process of filing for disability; however, you've heard how long that takes and I don't believe my landlord is going to keep me since my very first rent was late, and this coming will be and my power is about to be turned off. I've worked 34 years with epilepsy, still trying with a stroke and found a job two weeks ago, and now they're not calling me for jobs. My profession, I work when I'm called and have prayed for more work.  I'm from Birmingham, Alabama, where people knew I could work with epilepsy, and I was claimed to be the best.  These past 10-12 years here in Tampa, once they discover you have epilepsy, they find a reason to be afraid to send you work.  How can that be if I've worked all of my life?   

        Thank you for any helpful places I can go to. I already am paying back two paycheck advances -- well, planning to. I may not sound bad, but have been in ER twice due to not being able to afford medical insurance, can't get it, nor medicine. And I have let so many people in trouble sleep on my couch when I could have been killed and am sure it contributed to my eviction, seeing homeless and down-on-their luck staying with me.  Only reason saying that - maybe it's my turn for help and a friend to talk to, which does wonders for my chronic depression (most epileptics have due to medication).

        God Bless and Thank You!

But if you ever need someone to talk to I'm here." Like WTF is that all about? Us people in need are in need of temporary financial assistance and venting to someone just to talk is the last thing we need. Why message someone if you cannot help them? Please please please do not email me if you are not going to be able to actually help (meaning rent money!). Normally I am very soft spoken, but right now I am just irritated.

        Guilty as charged, I can't pay my rent! I feel so stupid even asking for help because I'm so embarrassed. I mean yeah, I have a job, but its still not enough for me to pay rent. Ill admit it, I'm an exotic dancer, but trust me, money isn't what it used to be and now I'm panicking.

        If ANYONE out there can help me please reply back because its two o'clock in the morning and I'm still awake worrying what will happen if I don't pay my rent. I have two little boys and I can't bare the thought of depriving them of anything. It is breaking my heart. I'm not exactly sure about posting my phone number on here, but I guess I need to suck it up and do it anyway. That's how desperate I am. My name is Erin. I'm sobbing as we speak.

        I am 20 years old and work with a youth group for breast cancer. I only get paid about $50 dollars a week if I am lucky. My boyfriennd works construction but he hasnt had a job to work on for a month now. I also recently found out that I am pregnant. This is a miracle baby. I was not supposed to have children due to a horrible ectopic pregnancy that destroyed my chances. We are currently 2 weeks overdue on the rent and have to pay the remainder of $300 plus eletricity. Our rent is $459 which we still have to worry about next month also. DES will not help because I am a full time student and I cannot get a doctors notice stating I am pregnant because my insurance was cancelled. Someone please help us out. I have been homeless before and I dont want to put my unborn child through that.

        I am a married mother of 5. My husband had to quit his job in May due to medical problems and we have gotten behind on our rent. I am working a full time job but not making enough. In January, my boss is sending me through training to go into management at the store where I work which will bring a significant pay increase. But as for now, I need $4800 to pay up back rent because I have an eviction hearing tomorrow. I would be willing to pay this money back a little at a time until pay increase/tax time gets here and then I could pay back the rest. I greatly appreciate anything someone could do to help me. Thanks and God Bless.

        Here is the link to the Arizona Public Service (APS), and they have a program that helps low-income residents pay their energy bills.  Based on my research of this program, you can get a discount of up to 40% off if you qualify.  You may also call 1-800-582-5706 for more information.  If you are able to save enough money on your utility bill, it will hopefully make it much easier for you to pay your rent.

         in response to coalmiba...   Here is a sample hardship letter that I found online. You can modify it to fit your situation. Also, please check my homepage. I also have one that helped me receive a full credit on my phone bill.

        RE: Hardship Letter - Short Sale for (your address)

        Dear Creditor:

        Since last (month) I am experiencing financial difficulties due to (layoff, medical problem).  After having my current financial situation carefully analyzed, I have concluded that it is no longer possible to comply with the original terms of the agreement. I have no choice but ask you for your help on avoiding the foreclosure of my family’s home.

        Due to the dropping of home prices that have affect the entire country in the last year, I currently owe more on my mortgage than my home is actually worth. Please consider allowing me into your Short Sale Program so that we can lower the price and sell the house quickly before it goes into foreclosure. This will allow me to settle my financial obligation to you and have a chance to get back on my feet, without having to file for bankruptcy.

        Please understand that financial hardships can occur and many times it‘s not a choice. I deeply appreciate your help in this matter. If you have any questions, or need anything further from me, you can contact me at (your phone # with area code.)

        I am enclosing my (bank statements, late notices on your car, last year's tax returns, last 6 months of Profit and Loss statement (if self employed), last 2 pay stubs for all working borrowers (including L&I and unemployment benefit.) Authorization to disclose personal information and anything else you can find that will show full proof of the hardship)

        I, (your name), state that the information provided above is true and correct to the best of my knowledge.

        Sincerely,
        (Home Owner Name)

         in response to Inspiration...   What did you say in letters to creditors? I am literally out of money (overdraft in the bank) and can't pay rent for October 1st so they will probably start discussing the eviction process within a few weeks. I don't have money for food or toilet paper (although i did find a food pantry around the corner that helped) and no money for gas for my car. I have a stack of bills that keep adding up and I don't know what to do. My credit is being ruined and I keep getting other late fees and interest and stuff added onto some of the bills.

         in response to single dad of 3...   I am struggling financially as well like most people here on Aidpage, so I am unable to offer you a monetary donation. I am only able to help by offering my time and writing skills. I have written many successful hardship letter to creditors.  I'll be glad to do the same for you if you need help.  I also do resumes for free if you need an updated one. I realize that in times like this, money is the only thing that will help. If you will give me a list of the places you've already contacted, it will help me narrow down other places to look for help.

        Hello, I need help and don't know what to do! I am a 50-ish, hearing impaired, mentally ill female (somewhat managed with medication) who has recently applied for disability and SSI... these things take time and there's no guarantee of approval, what with lack of funding. I have never been in this kind of situation before... right now I have no job, no money, no car, no cellphone, no medical insurance... and I will soon have no place to go. I have been living with my partner of several years, but apparently he can't handle being in a relationship anymore and recently announced he wants me gone. I have nowhere to go and no way to even get there if I did. I suffer from depression, anxiety and social isolation. I have no friends or family to turn to for help. The weather is getting wetter and colder, and I'm terrified of being out on the streets alone... I have a difficult time trusting people due to some past trauma in my life. Can anyone help??? I will be most grateful. Blessings for all.

         in response to Inspiration...   I currently work at a mortgage company and sales are very slow. I would normally have a check or two by now in the amount of 2 to $5,000. But unfortunately that hasn't happened in the last couple of months. My landlord has worked with me all that she could, but now she's demanding that all payment due now. I could survive , but I have kids in school. This would be devastating to them.

        I am currently on workman's comp. My fiance and her two girls live with me along with having my own boys 2-3 days a week. I have 3 boys. My fiance has been abused since she was a child and is just starting to reclaim her life thru therapy. But she can't work... physical issues from the years of trauma, an additional abusive first marriage didn't help... and then there are the mental trauma's and ongoing issues... We barely made it when I was working now that I can't and may not be able to at all because of my own physical limitations. She has applied for disability and I probably should.... but what do we do now.... rent 4 mos behind, electric the same....just basic living expences take all the money I get.... how do I keep the roof over this family's head and allow them the time to heal. The kids are just starting to make friends again. their grades are starting to come up.. What do I do? all of the state agencies or charities say they are out of money or I don't qualify because it isn't bad enough...My landlord is a family friend but they have bills too and can only let us slide so far...
