People Asking For Help



Asking For Help



"I am a single mother with her back up against the wall in desparate need of money to help send my son to college this fall. He needs $7400.00 in addition to the loans he has been able to receive.I have did all I know how to do my credit won't allow me to help him. Please help me help him. He promised he would finish school and stay out of trouble. He's done his part, Please help me make my word good."


This seems to have all gotten started when I posted the blog post about asking Oprah for money. It seems that people have mistaken my blog for Oprah's blog but such is not the case.

I surely do hope that you get the help that you are asking for. I also suggest that you take a look at my Grant Basics 101 blog which has blog posts about government grant programs and other ways that you may be able to get money to help you.

"
I would like to Ask for Help for my Family. My daughter is 1 and has been diagnosed with Microcephaly, she will be disabled for the rest of her life. we currently live with my husbands family in a small house our two sons share a room and me and my husband share the smallest room with our daughter. We have no room to breath or walk. We tried to get a home but have been turned down due to not enough funds. We live paycheck to paycheck. I have been looking for work the last 5 months and no one will hire me.

We are asking if people would please help us get a home of our own. we would like to raise $30,000 I know its a lot to ask for but our family wont even help us. I can not keep going like this it will cause us to split or loose what we have. Even if you live in Powder Springs Ga and would donate a house to us we will take it no matter the condition. Please some one out their help us. And yes I have tried the grant thing its all scams and they do not give money away tried everything and get turned down.

please email me at c~~~~@gmail.com if you would help


As someone that does grant research for a living I can assure that the grant thing is not all scams! I have a blog about grant programs called Grant Basics 101 and I also have a website about grant programs as well.

I have also seen many websites online created by people who are asking for money and donations. I even read an online article about a woman who was able to save her and her family's house - what she did was create a website asking for donations and she got enough money to save her home from foreclosure.

I really do hope that you get the help that you are asking for.

Asking For Donations?

I received the following comment:

I'm in dire needs of a financial miracle to make my life better financially. I would like to enjoy Christmas with my family and be happy. The world is full of unlimited possibilities and I figure that if I ask I shall receive and with this I am asking that if anyone can understand my needs that they render to me any forms of cash financial donations to me to assist me in making my life more bearable.

Send all care finances to ................,


Firstly I'm going to have to tell you that I am not going to take responsibility for having someone's address, name and phone number on this blog unless it is a paid advertisement!

Secondly it can be considered quite dangerous posting such personal information on the Internet for the world to see!

There are quite a few legitimate sites where one can posts and ask for donations and I mention about one here.

Also too I just got finished posting on my Foreclosure Blog about a family that had managed to avoid foreclosure of their home by putting up a website and asking for donations.

There are quite a number of legitimate websites out there where you can post your pleas for donations to help you with your financial difficulties. And like the blog post above that I mentioned, you can also take matters into your own hands and put up a website or blog of your own so that you can ask for donations.

During these hard economical times people are facing many hardships but I have also found that there are those who are fighting for what they want and believe that where there is a will there is a way!

I'm sorry but I have to tell you that the "grant" thing is not all scams! I do grant research for a living and you can take a look at my Grant Basics 101 Blog and you will see that there are plenty of grant programs out there!

Have You Ever Considered Donating Your Car?

Have you ever considered donating your car?


At first glance, donating your car might seem like a worthy thing to do but that is only if you have the car to donate.

Now-a-days people need their cars more than ever!
