THIS IS MY STORY SO FAR :

 

My story actually goes farther back than the story listed below.Back to when  I left an abusive husband .

Then I  had to move from a big city that we lived in for 13 years because it is too expensive for a single mom with health problems.  We moved in with family in a small midwest town ,who, unfortunatley, were set in their ways and didn't want to bend for the younger people ,and kicked us out.(It was actually from religious differences. I am a Christian , they aren't) 

I finally found a job that included " health insurance" (that was a joke), and that had hours where i could goto work after school started  for my daughter,and be back home before school was over so that I could be there for my daughter ,and then  this happened :

 

 

2 years ago i fell at work. i worked for a major discount chain store , that sells at "roll-back" prices. i wont mention the name , but you probably know who i mean.

the first thing that happened after i fell , my manager said "you have the same injury on your hand that my mom had when she used to spank me"(weird i know) and "its the weekend when we have our best business" , and "your not really hurt that much" he refused to go along with my request to go to the hospital.  a week later , i asked another manager  to take me to a doctor . he did , i had a sprained neck, a sprained arm, a badly bruised hip and a problem with my balance and hearing.and i have been going to doctors , physical therapists ,occupational therapists ,and pain doctors ever since then. the company has put myself and my daughter and all my friends and family through living hell. the managers who messed up by not taking me to the doctor immeadiately were"transfered to a different store"

so... after over 2 years of fighting this company andtheir insurance i ended up with no workers comp., no disability and no job. i am permantly disabled , and fighting for social security . my lawyer ,( who has ms herself and is an amazing person and example for me), is a God send , and is fighting for me. , as are all my doctors and therapists.

But , in the meantime , i have 15 different medsthat cost over 1,500 dollars a month. i am currently being helped with those by our community health . but i was turned down for medicaid ,who was paying for the meds , and my lawyer is not sure when my appeal will come through , if it does ,andthe community health may run out. i am praying it doesnt. i am very thankful thati have it.

i have no money. no income at all. my family and church are helping at the moment , and i have applied to everything that i can think of , or have been refered to. i have(not all are as a result of the accident) : insulin dependent diabetes,fibromyalgia , arthritis of the spine, high blood pressure , asthma , sleep apnea , circadian rythm disorder ,a vestibular balance problem , a gait(walking ) problem, myofacial pain disease ,allergies to all sorts of stuff , IBS ,adrenal problems , female problems , chronic pain for which my doctor put me on morphine , and depression (i wonder why?)

my daughter(who also has diabetes)  is a wonderful help. she is smart enough to have gotten into college with scholarships and grants. she has had to stay home and go to the community college to help care for me. my muscles dont work well, and i cant lift anything over 1/2 pound without dropping it. my daughter is trying to get a job to help and has applied to over 37 places so far. she hasnt had any luck. she doesnt have any work experience because all she has done in her spare time is help me. my parents have been helping , but my father is in a wheelchair ,and my mom just had complete hip replacement , so they have thier own problems.they also said they canthelp much longer. my social worker said that i cant be helped until i am facing eviction , and then i will have to pay them back. FROM WHAT MONEY?

my lawyer said it will probably be 2 years before my sociail sec. appeal comes up.

in the meantime , i dont know how my daughter and i will live. so far , i have been blessed by family and friends, but i am so ashamed that i can do nothing to help the situation myself . i dont want pity , i just want a way to make it so that i am not such a burden on others.

(I HAVE BEEN READING SO MANY STORIES ABOUT PEOPLE ON THIS SITE ABOUT HOW THEY NEED HELP AND NO ONE IS HELPING. I DON'T FEEL LIKE I AM A BURDEN ANYMORE , JUST VERY THANKFUL. DONT LET ANYONE MAKE YOU FEEL GUILTY FOR NEEDING HELP. )10-5-06

YOU ARE WORTH IT.  WE NEED MORE OF THE "UN-POOR" TO STOP BEING SO SELF-RIGHTEOUS AND WALK IN THE OTHER PERSONS' SHOES.-10-5-06

anyprayer or suggestions are gladly welcome please , if you have a story that is similar i would love to hear from you on how it turned out and if you have ANY SOURCES I CAN GO TO FOR HELP.(after all Aidpages are for People helping People !)

 

thank you

 soulight-1/26/2007

 With all the recent greediness on Aidpages( This was after my first Christmas on Aidpages when people were GREEDY and just wanted more and more just given to them. It made many of us sick of hearing all the greedy requests - sl 04/03/08 ) , I have wondered if all my time put into trying to help fellow Aidmates has been worth it. I have been thinking about this a lot. I decided that if just one person is helped because of something that I put on Aidpages , it is worth it. All the people who are scamming and just out for a free ride of money will suffer in their own ways ,and I don't need to address their problems , but I am on here for those who are willing to go partway with me in solving their own problems . We all need support and encouragement. That is what I want to do - support and encourage people to grow towards the person God made them to be.  So , I carry on.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2/07/07

Just another update. My medicaid was just turned down again. I need therapy for my balance , my hip and shoulder , and occupational therapy. My doctor has re-written my functional capacity exam because I am getting worse. My rehab evaluation counselor doesn't think I have enough strength for a full time job , nor is my pain level low enough.

I have spent much time on these aidpages , but not full time. I rest alot in between . My illnesses are sometimes O.K. and sometimes I go into a major flare and everything falls apart. Right now ,I am typing with a major cramp in my left arm down to my hand , and I end up typing with one hand. I am getting weary of the fight , but not for long , God will see me through.

These pages have given me something to do that I have always wanted to do , and I don't even need a car , or money , or much energy to do them. Now why can't a real job be like that ? Of course , I couldn't just stop typing and take a nap whenever I wanted to with a 'real job.'   ; )Never give up.

I thought i might add another update, since it has been a while. My pain levels have increased greatly and i am not sure why . I have to wait to find out though , because i am having a hard time with insurance again.I have to re-apply for some of my assistance through the state , as my lawyer had  some major problems(death in family) , and we missed a deadline. I like this lawyer a lot , but this is another set back. i got a special voice activated computer program from my daughter ,and it is much easier than typing , as on my bad days , my arms and hands cramp up. Having all these things happen to me is a blessing. NO I AM NOT CRAZY ! ! ! it is just that i have always wanted to help other people ,and the more that i go through , the more i understand what others are going through , and i am greatful for that empathy.   Still , i really , really wish more people came to Aidpages to help others rather than to always want help , as i get weary of the "givemes". Is our country truly full of so many greedy , needy people ? I don't mean needy for money , but needy for a good spiritual , moral base.Anyway, i went to a rehab program ,and though i was not accepted because of my pain and physical problems , they said it will be hard to get social security because i am too intellegent. GO FIGURE , IF I HAD KNOWN THIS I COULD HAVE CHEATED ON MY TESTS BY MISSING ANSWERS  : ^ (-ADDENDUM , I WOULD HAVE NOT CHEATED ON THE TESTS . THIS IS A JOKE !

Anyway , i plug on and I DO NOT GIVE UP . We all need to keep up the good fight ,and run the race. In the end we will recieve the prize.

Today I just need to vent a little. I do love helping people, but it would help if they help themselves a little. I spend hours finding information , and then people come on a page and ask for assistance with something that is already addressed on one of my Aidpages. It seems people don't even want to read the page for help ,they just want me to do ALL the work for them. I hope these people start helping themselves ,or they will be caught in the 'please help poor me' trap for the rest of their lives ,and it seems that this is a miserable way to live. I don't want to live that way.Maybe some people do.If that is the case , what a sad existance.

5/11/07

As of today , i will start helping people only through prayers and my Aidpages , at least for a while. It is so tiring to help so many who have an emergency or crisis. My own health challenges and life challenges need some attention , so i pray that people search for help for themselves , starting with my Aidpages as a jumping off place. I care about people and what happens to them , but i need to care about me and my daughter too.I still struggle with all the things listed below. I am blessed by help from family and church , but it still is quite a struggle and very energy zapping . My own health problems already include low energy challenges , so i am pulling back on some of my commitments in my life right now to save what energy i do have for the most important things.

I will still add things as i find them for assistance ,and i will still monitor my pages everyday , but i will not be helping people on an individual level . I hope people understand this. It would be so cool if some others stepped up and STARTED HELPING OTHERS AND REALLY MAKE AIDPAGE PEOPLE HELPING PEOPLE ! ! !   : )

So , I am feeling much better . My asthma was part of what was causing the fatigue. And , I will be having a sleep study , as I probably have apnea and stage 4 sleep problems related to the fibro. What fun. Still , my problems might be lessened if I slept better.

I hope to interact more with people on Aidpage , and I still hope and pray that there continue to be more people who HELP EACH OTHER OUT !!!  :<)

My review with my social worker is coming up in a couple weeks. Anybody who reads this and is a pray-er , lift me up ! Please !

Am now waiting for results from the sleep study. Sleep studies are interesting things ! They stick electrodes on you , tell you that you have to sleep at least 7 hours ,then tell you that the camera on the table is so that someone can watch you while you sleep ! It is a blessing that I slept at all. Two things though( i already knew) i snore A LOT , and i dream A LOT )

I think i slept , i hope i slept enough.

Still , GOD IS GOOD , ALL THE TIME. No matter what , He will see me through.

Well , i have sleep apnea. Now that we know , we can do something about it and hopefully i will not be so fatigued all the time. It is a mild case ,though. I only stop breathing 5 times an hour.(!)

We had to put our beloved Ginger to sleep on Monday . She was a very special , loving  cat. We will miss her so much. Thank you God for giving us the gift of Ginger.

Insurance companies and the governments alternative are disgusting.

I need a second sleep study , because they need to fit the APAP (breathing machine) . They also think that I may have seizures while I sleep as the whole inside of my mouth is chewed up.

 

GUESS WHAT ?!

MY LOCAL COUNTY INSURANCE  COVERS THE FIRST SLEEP STUDY FOR THE DIAGNOSIS, BUT

THEY DO NOT COVER THE SECOND STUDY OR THE CPAP MACHINE TO TREAT THE DISORDER ! ! !  

    SO ,   

                    I can find out what is wrong with me , but they won't help to make me better ! ! ! 

Thank God they do pay for my meds , which are now up to about $2,000 a month.

 

It is amazing that those of us who are low income in this country are alive at all.

 

 

 

I credit my life to Jesus Christ . I would have been dead before I was 20 if it weren't for the Lord ,

and that is the most true thing that I have ever said.

I guess it is time to update my story . Especially with the news that I just got today !

It seems that between my last brain MRI and the one I had about 3 weeks ago , I had a stroke ! Wonderful news , not. If you are a praying person , please put me in your prayers as to what the medical team should do next to help this situation.

At least I know now why I have falls all the time.

I am not discouraged . GOD IS GOOD , ALL THE TIME . HE DOES NOT CHANGE ,AND I KNOW HE LOVES ME NO MATTER WHAT ! ! !

January 16 , 2008

Boy am I depressed . My hearing has finally come up next month and my lawyer has a great (not) attitude. She said the judge that I have is the worst one for my case. She tried to change the judge by saying that I can't travel so far to attend the meeting ( I will get way too fatigued) . They won't let us change anything , so guess what ? Now that she has said so much bad stuff about the judge , we are stuck with him. PLEASE KEEP ME IN YOUR PRAYERS ON FEBRUARY 11 . THIS IS SOOO IMPORTANT TO ME .

THANK YOU !

I guess it is time to do another update  ; 0  

So ... I got the flu complicated by pneumonia ( even though I recieved a flu shot and a pneumonia shot ) and ended up in the emergency room on a breathing machine and I.V.

This was all shortly before my SSI/SSA hearing . I had no choice but to cancel the hearing . My doctor wrote a note so that I would still get a gold or silver star from the Social Security people for being good ( am I sounding sarcastic today ? ) Anyway , my hearing has been re-scheduled for June 2008 , so it is not too far off. I call this situation the time that soulight got sick so that her lawyer could have the judge that she really wanted    ;o ) .

 

 

 

 

I think that I am going to make this blog a little more exciting by adding more information than just the saga of my medical journey . I will start adding more fun stuff and stories.

 

 

 

 

04/04/08

Lately , instead of working on my more serious Aidpages , I have been doing freebie and precious stuff type pages . Sometimes I need a break from all the sorrow in this world. So many people are hurting .

Being a human being with MANY faults and trials of my own , it can be overwhelming hearing other people's struggles. I LOVE ASSISTING OTHERS . IT IS ONE OF MY PASSIONS IN LIFE. But I am just a regular person who has burdens just like anyone else , so sometimes I need a break.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

04/07/08 

Today , I  have been working on my recycle/reuse/regift/wanna-be-a-hippie in my younger days page.soulight777.googlepages.com/recycle,re-use,and re-inventing  . It is a page of reminiscing , recycling , creative uses of things and other groovy stuff. I am hoping that some day I may be able to have a bigger place to live . Maybe with some earth to plant in and an outbuilding to "do" messy art projects , potting plants , recycling bins and other puttering fun . Someday . . . with God anything is possible.Plus , I have been working on my dumpster diver page soulight777.googlepages.com/livingthefrugallifeormemoirsofadumpsterd , and my free-stuff-for-Christians(or who ever wants free Christian stuff) page soulight777.googlepages.com/christianfreebies ( I love the gadget that I found for this page where you can feed the little fishies swimming around - check it out for a cheap thrill !), oh , and my free for homeschoolers and life long learners page http://free-for-homeschoolers.app-sl-1.aidpage.com/ . Many pages tend to link together in one way or another and I end up going off into many little baby bunny trails . The story of my life. ; D To quote a favorite movie ( The Dream Team) "Chaos is great"  Order is great too , but I am afraid is pretty foreign to me ;+ (.  I guess I had better start working on a " How to organize your home and your life page .

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

04/08/08 

Since I have been feeling pretty good lately , I hope to assist more of my fellow Aidmates by pointing them to help that I have found . I hope this feeling good lasts for a while !

So , it is really , finally spring ! Michigan , where I live , is pretty unpredictable , but I think we are over the snow . It has snowed in May here ,and once even in June ! Hopefully ,  we won't set any more records. We already set the record for the most snow ever in some of our winter months this past year .

I have started writing a few things on Aidpages discussion pages. This is a great concept and I hope more people start using these tools for finding help .

Well , no more to say right now . I haven't really worked on any pages yet today . Instead I am trying to touch base with Aidmates who have asked questions. I hope I don't miss anyone. If I missed you and you are reading this , remind me please !?!?!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

04/14/08

What a difference a couple of days make . I feel like crap . It is either another flu-type thing or strep throat .  BLAH : < ( . I am trying to work on some pages , but I think I would rather go lay down .

This is why I am working on a links page of all my pages    : 

      http://soulight-s-links-page-for-free-assistance-and-how-the-pages-can.app-sl-1.aidpage.com/                                      

Now if people need help and  I am sick  ( which can be for days in between when I am on Aidpages ) , hopefully , they can find something that may assist them.  I hope that I feel better faster this time and it doesn't turn into pneumonia again . If you are reading this , include me in your prayers , O.K. ?    Thank you !   soulight

 

 

04/15/08 - DO YOUR TAXES ! ! ! You know I'm talking to you .

So . . . I have a throat infection plus a double ear infection. No wonder I feel like crap :( . That's all . I'm going to take a nap now.   soulight

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

04/16/08

Wow ! Prayer and antibiotics can sure make infections better fast . It is amazing how little things are so important if you can't have them . I just had 2 pieces of bread ! The last few days my throat was so swollen I could barely get an ice chip down . Bread is so good , especially when you don't have to push it down through a painful throat ! Today , I am just happy about prayer , antibiotics and bread ! Thank God for the little things ( and the holy things ) in life.   ; )

 

P.S.   If you are hurting and you are a martyr about it , like me , please don't try to 'tough it out' . First , you are just making yourself worse , and second , those who care about you suffer too .

soulight

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

04/17/08

Praise God for antibiotics ! I feel better everyday !  I am still totally fatigued . Even more so than my usual fibro fatigue. I have to take rest breaks all the time . I can't use my voice activated typing program until my 'lacerated throat" heals , so my arms and hand tend to cramp up , but I am better. Plus , I can eat more than bread today ! I can actually swallow without pain , which is TOTALLY COOL ! Today I am working on the help with housing -paying rent - fixing your home -paying your mortgage page .http://free-help-to-fix-up-your-home.app-sl-1.aidpage.com/    and the Grants for Individuals page  http://grants-for-individuals.app-sl-1.aidpage.com/          -soulight

P.S. - I am told that many people with fibromyalgia have had unrealistic expectations of ourselves all our lives and we need to slow down as doing too much makes symptoms worse . It's true.  : ( Fibro is God's way of saying ENOUGH ALREADY ! )

04/21/08

Today I am feeling really sick to my stomach  :> ( Side effect from antibiotics). That is a negative for sure. Two positives to counteract the negative :

1. It is a beautiful spring day and I love hearing the happy birds outside .

2. I have more energy back , so I could at least make an attempt at cleaning .

I am working on a page that I just started called Articles of Note . Nothing fancy , just articles that have touched my heart and maybe will be of value to others , I hope.Just for sharing . That's all. I have listed it on my Googlepages link page. There are some pages that I list on this page that I don't list on Aidpages :                      soulight777.googlepages.com/soulightspagesandwhatyoucanusethemfor

I am also working on my DISABILTIY RIGHTS AND SUPPORT page . Never give up  !  !  !

Well , today I am tackling the DENTAL BY STATE pages . Two things:

  1. I like to work on these pages because it helps those of us with dental challenges.
  2. I don't like to work on these pages because it usually gives me a headache. It is hard to find new resources for dental care that covers those of us that are low-income.

04/25/08

I just added a cool resource to my  Dumpster Diver /Frugal low income living page:     soulight777.googlepages.com/livingthefrugallifeormemoirsofadumpsterd  .

It is a site on the Net where you can get glasses for as little as $8.00 ! ! ! The most expensive pair that I saw was priced at $39.00 ! ! !  Check it out ! Now I might be able to get new glasses if I can pay for an exam . That would be cool.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

05/05/08

 

I said that I was going to change what I wrote here so that it would have more positive stuff , but the truth is , I don't feel positive at all lately . I feel like crap . My body is not working for me the way that I would like and my spiritual life could use a boost. Do I feel sorry for myself ? The fact that I don't want to answer is a good indication that I do. I also am depressed , which I need to talk to my doctor about. I still do not give up hope  but I am feeling down right now.

Please  keep me in your prayers. I continue to pray anyone who would like me to for their lives also.   - soulight

I am feeling better , although now I have another cold. I am suspecting my c-pap machine. I keep it clean , but I am thinking I should use a disenfectant on it too . If anyone else uses one of these machines and has the same problem , will you IM me and tell me what you do about it ? Thanks

Today I am working on many different pages. I found over 325 resources that I bookmarked to "use later" . Later is whenever I remember , I guess ; o )

So , on the Frugal living/Low Income Living page  :   soulight777.googlepages.com/livingthefrugallifeormemoirsofadumpsterd  I added information about low cost phone companies. I also am working on my Original Single Moms Page   :  soulight777.googlepages.com/soulightsoriginalsinglemomspage . This is the page as it originally appeared when I found Aidpages in 2006 . Going back to add things to this page reminds me how much I want to reach out to my fellow single moms. We are millions strong in the country and still fighting for our rights and the rights of our children . Plus the DEAD BEAT DADS thing is just disgusting.

I have to say that my ex has worked his way into this infamous group of dead beat dads . My daugher deserves so much better from him . She is a wonderful person and I am proud of her for who she is becoming . Guess what her father is the LOSER  on this one.  His stupid decisions have made him lose out on a wonderful relationship with a super person .My daughter is the best thing that came out of a bad marriage . I am so blessed by her

 

Another page I am working on is the  Freebies for Christians page .soulight777.googlepages.com/christianfreebies I found a site where you can download and copy up to 1,000 copies of articles/studies to share with your group or church . Pretty cool.

 

 

 

06/02/08

Wow , I can't believe it has been so long since I have written here. I have been dealing with a nasty bout with asthma and another problem which I will say would be fixed if I could "touch the hem of Jesus garment" ( a Biblical reference to a woman who touched His robe for healing for a 'womens' problem). Anyway , I have been working on my pages on and off , but have not had energy to type much . 

Oh , and if you could , will you please include me in your thoughts and prayers ? My appeal hearing for disability is on Thursday June 5 .

Thank you !   soulight

It seems such a long time since I have written here. Two weeks can be very long when you struggle with pain issues . I have been trying to recover from my hearing and a road trip . My hearing was crazy and I am still waiting for the outcome.

My road trip caused a major pain crisis. I just road in the car while my daughter did the driving . Got a meal . Shopped at one store . And the next week was my pain nightmare. However , one has to make a trade for a beautiful day and I would do it again . One beautiful day for one week of fatigue and stress . It will have to be a VERY BEAUTIFUL DAY though ; 0)

07/24/08

WOW I haven't posted here for a while. I have been struggling with severe pain and fatigue.

 Well, I got my decision at the appeal level . I lost. The judge manipulated all of my testimony and evidence . What he wrote is so different from what was presented. Things were left out. Things were added that weren't presented. Things that my doctors said were re-written as things the patient( me)  had postulated that I had . Case in point : doctor said that I had a stroke . Judge said that patient thought she had a stroke.

My lawyer said this judge was like this , but I did have hopes that my case would still be approved. What now ? I have to think , talk to my lawyer and see. I do know that working an 8 hour ( or 6,or4,or2 ) hour days is not possible . The only way I get through typing things on Aidpage is by typing /resting/typing / resting. The judge said that this contridicts even my doctors by saying that if you add up all the 20 minute on the computer with the 15-20 minute resting it adds up to several hours of being able to work full time . I am just so discouraged and I feel so invalidated. Please pray for me.

Thank you , soulight

Hi . I am just very tired . It is a vicious circle . Can't sleep because pain wakes me up and lack of sleep makes more pain. Yes , I am very much feeling sorry for myself. I do know that things WILL get better. It is a Let Go and Let God thing. More later....................

When I said more later above , I had no idea it would be so much later !

Well , since my last post , I have had a cat who had to have home IV's ( I couldn't get myself to do this so we ended up going to the vets each day) He died not from his kidney condition , but from the stress of getting the IV's.

Then I was in the emergency room a couple of times which led to an operation in October.

 Oh , right before the operation , my apartment flooded. Around November to the first part of December , my mother fell ON HER FACE : (  and she now has a blood clot on her brain . She is almost 80 years old and is confused and very unsteady . My father , who is 83 , has cerebellar ataxia and is in a wheelchair , sooo..It is up to me to try and help them .

This is going to be a challenge , as I have more health problems than they do . PLEASE KEEP MY WHOLE FAMILY IN YOUR PRAYEERS !!! I don't mean to "shout" I am just asking in the strongest way that I can for prayer.

Thank you for reading my newest story . Oh , I haven't heard a thing about my disability case . The last I got any paper is when my lawyer cc'd me a copy of a request for an extension so that she could get all the papers in . This was recieved when I was in the hospital for my operation and I didn't read it until a month later when I found the various piles around the house where my daughter had put my mail.

PRAY PRAY PRAY PLEASE ! ! !

Well , I haven't updated for a long long time. I lost my case for disability at the council level . I don't have energy to pursue it right now . I will be having a complete hysterectomy in the coming weeks. No date yet for the surgery. I won't go into the details , but if you get the reference of the woman who touched Jesus' robe and was healed , I have the same problem . Now for 67 days. As always , prayers are appreciated. I am actually feeling well , considering . No anxiety at all. I really want to work on my Aidpages but it will have to be as I can energy wise. soulight

21/f STL MO's

 

I am so sorry about your mother. I agree with you about people being turned down that really need the help . It is VERY discouraging. I have yet to re-apply because believe it or not , I have been too sick to have the strength to go through the whole thing again. 

 

If what I try to do here on Aidpages makes any difference to anyone , then it is worth the world to me. There are so many people out there that are hurting ! I went to a major teaching hospital a couple of weeks ago . I thought I had a hard time and then I saw children being wheeled in wheelchairs who looked to be on deaths door. Children ! I have lived many years and already had much happiness mixed in with the health challenges and these children have only known pain in their short lives. It has made me think that I need to work even harder to make a difference in this world for anyone who may find my Aidpages and be able to make use of them.

 

Once again , I am so thankful that you wrote and told me about your mom too. This has just got to stop . Your mom should still be with you. I totally HATE that this happened and I am going to fight even more now. 

 

God bless you and thank you for the gracious compliment. Your post has given me the boost that I needed to keep trying and to not give up with my journey to make a change in this world , no matter how small it may be.

 

Sincerely ,

soulight

My mother had COPD, asthma, .... the list would go on, the truth is what you have posted on here has I'm more than positive made a different in alot of peoples lives, more people need to spread and share your information you have posted up for us. Thank you so much. Your story makes me so sad, my mother was denyed right before she passed away, that money, insurence and etc would of improved my mothers life I donno I would of had her for many years. anyway, keep your hopes up, and smile, your such a wonderful woman.  ~ 21/f STL MO

There are organizations out there that will help with home repairs for free.  And its not just limited to just veterans being eligible.

 I suggest that you do some looking online to find these organizations but make sure that they are legitimate.

Also contact your nearest social services agency to see if they know of any programs that can help you and your father.

Hi Starshine !

I like your name , by the way ! 

Anyway , I am doing OK . Holding steady until my next operation. The good thing is that I live in Michigan , a couple of hours away from the University of Michigan where they have one of the best programs for my type of surgeries in the world !

I guess moving back to Michigan from the big city that I used to live in has some advantages !

I have read through the information you have provided and agree. However, I have went through all these procedures with my mortgage company and they refuse to help. I have been doing research trying to find some type of assistance, everything from calling Hope for Homeowners (which was a joke), to trying to rent/sell my house out right, to making several attempts with my lender. I was an independent contractor, so I can't even collect unemployment. I am truly at a loss as to what to do. I can't afford my home and I don't have any money to move. I feel as though I am stuck between a rock and a hard place; Not to mention I haven't been able to find a legit job in 8 months. So much I do want to give up, this is such a depressed mess. Thank you for listening.

comment to Soulight, I have been spending time doing some research on your page and I can''t thankyou enough for the link on Chronic pain, the info really helps. After being off the heavier pain meds since last spring I have had to start taking them again, the pain from the fibro and arthritis not to mention pancreatitus have gotten so bad this winter that my Dr told me not to play the martyr and that I needed the meds so I could move around more and hopefully bring me out of the depression that constant pain will just feed on. Anyway I am using all your advice and learning a lot of things I wasn't even looking for. (Washington states Dental info) Have a wonderful week and I'll keep reading sincerely Sheial sheshe030

Hi, my name is Shelly and I have 5 boys ranging from the ages of 4 to 17.  Only one income to suopport them all. My income gets us by, kind of (behind on mortgage), but leaves nothing for extras such as Christmas.  I waited too long to sign up for help at local agencies thinking something would come up and we would be able to do it ourselves, now I'm desperate.  I don't know if I can handle another sad christmas.  If anyone can help at all, you would be putting shining smiles on 5 boys faces.  Cody he's 17 and needs clothes and shoes something fierce, he wears size 34x30 in jeans and medium in shirts, his shoe size is 11, black and white chucks, I guess these are coverse style high top sneakers and he could use some socks.  Of course he has wants and the ONLY thing he's asked for is a nintendo DS, but I'd rather he got what he needs, plus I know the PS3 is outragously priced.  Bryce is 13, he needs clothes also, size 28x30 jeans or 16 reg, sixe medium in shirts and shoes, size 8.5, he also needs socks.  As far as wants go he likes anything skateboard, and music.  Avery is 11 and he needs clothes, size 12 reg in jeans, 14 in shirts, and socks, his shoes are still good.  His wants are anything WWF or WWE, and magic stuff.  Jaylen is 5 and he needs clothes, jeans size 6, shirts size 6 and boxers and socks.  He likes bakugons, pokeballs, uu-gi-oh, and desparately want an nintendo DS, oh and a jet pack or flying broomstick (LOL). Gavyn is 4, he needs clothes jeans size 3, shirts size 3 and underwear and socks, he likes anything Jaylen likes and all super heroes.  I also have a little girl that lives with me most of the time, but not full time, I don't need clothes for her, friends have given me enough to last until she's 4.  Her name is Nevaeh, she's 2 and she loves dolls, she really like the doll heads that you can brush thier hair and stuff and she loves music and ponies.

Hi CKB1

I am so sorry to hear of your cancer . Then on top of that , to have a disabled husband AND to take care of young grandsons must drain you of any energy reserves that you have.

Here is a link to a page that will lead you to some Christmas charity pages. If I had money myself , I would gladly help you out , but my finances are tight too.

Please know that you and your family are in my prayers and that I sincerely hope you have a joyful and blessed Christmas .

The other was diagnosed shortly after with degeneritive disk disease. With my children still mourning, I felt my only choice was to have a very expensive surgery vs. putting her down. I am in the hole $5000 and we are suffering financially. On the bright side, the kids are happy and Shakey is all better but now I am left with this financial burden along with the household expenses. I feel ridiculous asking...but hey, if there are any resourses that you could possably offer, I would me very appreciative. Thanks a bunch!! Megan tattooedgirl@comcast.net

HI! My name is Jessica. I am 22 and I have a serious surgery coming up on my mouth,(that my dentist has deemed a medical emergency) but I have no dental insurance and I can't afford it. It was estimated that it would probably cost about 6 to 6,500 dollars. My husband is our provider and I am a stay at home MOM taking care of our 2 year old son.I have been looking for some help. I was wondering if you would know where I could find some.My local dentist has a credit card that they offer but the percentage rate 21.98%, which is alot to pay monthly for a butcher (my husbands job). I would appreciate the help. Thank you!

Hi beautifullymade !

First I want to say I love your Aidpage name ! Everybody should remember that this is true of themselves !

Second , to start , I refer you to Emil's "How does Aidpage Work " page

 

http://how-does-aidpage-work.architect.aidpage.com/

   . Other than that , the reason that I do my Aidpages the way that I do is because of my passion to reach out and connect with people in the same way that I would like them to connect with me. It seems that I get going on a page and it kind of explodes into a growing idea and this quite often sparks another page and so it goes .....

If you have any specific questions about what you would like to do with your own page/s , please feel free to ask ! I am at your service ; )

Oh , BTW , thank - you so much for the gracious compliments !

Hi Bad Bones ,

Here is one place you can try : http://help-with-paying-for-healthcare-and-related-needs.app-sl-1.aidpage.com/

 

Also , have you tried talking to a social worker at the hospital where you had your surgeries ? They can be very helpful in finding creative financing.

Thank you so much for this touching poem . We all need to remember that there are people who are defending our country no matter what the cost. Christmas is a perfect time to remember these courageous people.

HI i was going though some poems and came across a wonderful poem and wanted to share it with you This poem was written by a Marine stationed in Okinawa Japan. The following is his request. I think it is reasonable... Please!. Would you do me the kind favor of sending this to as many people as you can? Christmas will be coming soon and some credit is due to our U.S. service men and women for our being able to celebrate these festivities. Let's try in this small way to pay a tiny bit of what we owe. Make people stop and think of our heroes, living and dead, who sacrificed themselves for us. Please, do your small part to plant this small seed. THE GIFT Author Unknown T'WAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS, HE LIVED ALL ALONE, IN A ONE BEDROOM HOUSE MADE OF PLASTER AND STONE. I HAD COME DOWN THE CHIMNEY WITH PRESENTS TO GIVE, AND TO SEE JUST WHO IN THIS HOME DID LIVE. I LOOKED ALL ABOUT, A STRANGE SIGHT I DID SEE, NO TINSEL, NO PRESENTS, NOT EVEN A TREE. NO STOCKING BY MANTLE, JUST BOOTS FILLED WITH SAND, ON THE WALL HUNG PICTURES OF FAR DISTANT LANDS. WITH MEDALS AND BADGES, AWARDS OF ALL KINDS, A SOBER THOUGHT CAME THROUGH MY MIND. FOR THIS HOUSE WAS DIFFERENT, IT WAS DARK AND DREARY, I FOUND THE HOME OF A SOLDIER, ONCE I COULD SEE CLEARLY. THE SOLDIER LAY SLEEPING, SILENT, ALONE, CURLED UP ON THE FLOOR IN THIS ONE BEDROOM HOME. THE FACE WAS SO GENTLE, THE ROOM IN SUCH DISORDER, NOT HOW I PICTURED A UNITED STATES SOLDIER. WAS THIS THE HERO OF WHOM I'D JUST READ? CURLED UP ON A PONCHO, THE FLOOR FOR A BED? I REALIZED THE FAMILIES THAT I SAW THIS NIGHT, OWED THEIR LIVES TO THESE SOLDIERS WHO WERE WILLING TO FIGHT. SOON ROUND THE WORLD, THE CHILDREN WOULD PLAY, AND GROWNUPS WOULD CELEBRATE A BRIGHT CHRISTMAS DAY. THEY ALL ENJOYED FREEDOM EACH MONTH OF THE YEAR, BECAUSE OF THE SOLDIERS, LIKE THE ONE LYING HERE. I COULDN'T HELP WONDER HOW MANY LAY ALONE, ON A COLD CHRISTMAS EVE IN A LAND FAR FROM HOME. THE VERY THOUGHT BROUGHT A TEAR TO MY EYE, I DROPPED TO MY KNEES AND STARTED TO CRY. THE SOLDIER AWAKENED AND I HEARD A ROUGH VOICE, "SANTA DON'T CRY, THIS LIFE IS MY CHOICE; I FIGHT FOR FREEDOM, I DON'T ASK FOR MORE, MY LIFE IS MY GOD, MY COUNTRY, MY CORPS." THE SOLDIER ROLLED OVER AND SOON DRIFTED TO SLEEP, I COULDN'T CONTROL IT, I CONTINUED TO WEEP. I KEPT WATCH FOR HOURS, SO SILENT AND STILL AND WE BOTH SHIVERED FROM THE COLD NIGHT'S CHILL. I DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE ON THAT COLD, DARK, NIGHT, THIS GUARDIAN OF HONOR SO WILLING TO FIGHT. THEN THE SOLDIER ROLLED OVER, WITH A VOICE SOFT AND PURE, WHISPERED, "CARRY ON SANTA, IT'S CHRISTMAS DAY, ALL IS SECURE." ONE LOOK AT MY WATCH, AND I KNEW HE WAS RIGHT. "MERRY CHRISTMAS MY FRIEND, AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT."

Hey there - just wanted to say hello - The kids and I are doing okay. We are getting ready to go to our local Halloween parade today. It's always nice sometimes the kids get money prizes and even if they don't they get a huge bag of candy at the end of the parade which is great. They always come home happy. I can't wait to get home though because I will have to miss part of the Steeler game! Of course kids come first. Anyway I love my teeth and my dentist did such a great job that noone can tell they are dentures. As scared as I was to do it I am so glad now that I got it together and did something for myself. For so long my focus was my husband and kids and I ended up losing myself. Over the summer I lost a total of 57 pounds and I'm not done yet. I've learned that as much as I love my children that I have to do some things for myself and noone else. Anyway take good care and if I don't get a chance to say so have a wonderful holiday season!

I'm a disabled single mom, going through a divorce and haven't received any child support yet. I'm living with my sister but need to move out soon. Do you know of any housing programs (for either renting or buyin) that are available for disabled single moms? I only make $830 a month on social security disability.

Dear soulight: I am so glad that you intend to set up your own resource domain. It will help so many more. It gets tiresome to try to get people to look a little deeper once they arrive on aidpage and having your own domain with the resources in your face will make it easier. You may find the following link of interest if not already available on your numerous pages of resources here on aidpages. Think of you often with graditude, Elaine

Hondamatic , It is interesting that you deleted the apology , but I still hope the best for you. We all need a heads up sometimes to reveal that we are going in a wrong path in life. You need to re-think your path and how you portray youself to other people. If you continue to speak things that aren't true , you will continue to have a miserable life. soulight
