WHO ~ KNEW?

thank you for such kind words and such quick suggestions, I checked out the barretas trials, but I cant tolerate the medicine that they mention if you can't use it than you don't quaify. I checked out prosper site, too that was something to read up on more. the most recent one you sent me, I havent checked yet but I will. this is surely a amazing place to hang out, my barettas has not gone into cancer it is just precancer at this point, but I do have fears with all the acid that I am swallowing because of not being able to use dentures. Your idea was also a good one about going to oringal dentist, but one, he use to accept Medi-Cal hasn't for years, this is my second set of dentures thru medi-cal, they will not do anything. The top of my mouth has some sort of bump or something there was a name, and the place where the back of mydenture is suppose fit, it doesn' and my gag reflex is strong and right there also. I so appreciate your caring and help, you have no idea, how depressed I was getting, thats when last nite I discoved this site, I just told my husband at least this has helped with my depression just being able to help others with comments and hopely God willing find help for my mouth.. You are one of those angels in disquise, aren't you. :) thanks again, getting ready for church, I k now Fri nite, "who knew" I would ever be excited about church and on a Fri nite. LOL :)

Well you can thank Emil and the Wizard for the site, it is all their doing...  personally, I just kind of hang out here, cuz that's where my friends are! 

Don't worry about making mistakes - I make plenty of them  - besides there is really nothing ( other than spamming people ) that you can do wrong..

The pages I have mentioned at the top of this page ( Soulight, elaine of tsa, lady christie, and ekikaseven) and truly valuable assets - check out their pages - they always have something new!

Good luck, I hope you find what you need! If you ever need anything, just give a shout!  

This is the most incredible website, with people with hearts for each other... I just started on here yesteday, so if I make mistakes, I apolagize ahead atime, Im trying to stick by protacal I just got so excited yesteday, after beins so despondent over my mouth/digestive stuff, that I was getting too self absorbed and having a pity party.. I need to remember there is a loving God, who is watching over all of us. This site has to be sent from heaven,  I have more hope today then I have lately. and that is too many I's..

Thanks again for caring, and passing on that trait to others.

God Bless you

This story touched my heart.  I wish I could donate money for her treatment but I can't afford to take care of my family right now.  But I can offer something more powerful, prayer.  Allison, Jeff, Preston, Parker and Bailey are in my thoughts and prayers - May God see your family through this and may the Cancer that invades your body disappear.  I pray for you in Jesue name, Amen,

Thank you. I'm just glad I could help in some small way.

Nice save w/George. It is those Aha moments when you can really reach and help someone that mean sooooo much. Kudos to you AGAIN. Luv ya.

This is the second time I come across some of the best information I've ever seen on the web, and both times it was posted by you! People like you are making a difference for people like myself, and I can only pray that soon I will be back up on my feet and able to provide valuable information to others the way you have for me.

I am a single mother who recently moved to bradenton florida and am being asked to leave from my friend who has given us a place to stay for 1 month and we found that we cant live under the same roof. She has asked me to leave and said it must be tomorrow. I have no place to go and a 1 year old daughter and am asking for any type resource to get my own place I dont have any money or a job and need help asap. Can any one help me !!!!

I can't see how "you people" can be so helpful and kind to all these other people and you were so cold and curl to me about the loss of my son. If you even remember me ,I have deleted your comments and wasn't going to respond to the likes of you .And then I came across your profile and read all the wonderfull things youv'e done for everyone else. I'm so tired of people like you judgeing me , you think you know everything, and that you are some how better than me . You need to think you are doing something to help these people so that you can feel better about your self,because deep down you know you are worse than most of the people you think are beneith you. I came on here for edvice or help to get to my son. You had the nerve to call me a lier, you must be on my son's fathers payroll as well. You'll get yours come judgement day lets just hope the good out weight's the bad. You have no idea what I've been through nor could you begain to understand if you did. People like you walking through life with everything handed to them need a wake up call.  But I'll tell you what I don't wish anything bad on you , I will pray for your soul and that you may grow as person and stop desideing who needs help on ""aidpage"" and start helping everyone. Just remember what would JESUS do!   

They are in my prayers, I hope they get everything they need. Please keep us posted.

Lord,

Please heal this couple.  Make Allison totally whole.  Make her hubby whole too. Provide for all of their needs.  Amen.

Your in my situation  my place runs out tonight  you have some time   check with all agecy's and churches in your area  they can provide some assistance   My child and I are in the car tonight   work every moment on this now.  I'll pray for you and everyone here you don't end up like us

Hi there. Hope all is well. I am checking in to see if you may have some suggestions.I have to leave where im staying by April 15th and I truelly have no where for my daughter and I to go. I Have saught out shelters even and believe it or not there is a waiting list. Still not a penny for support from the ex and domestics in this state waits until there are quite a bit of arrears to enforce anything. Im at a loss. He says my our daughter can stay with him he doesnt care what happens to me. Only seperating us would ruin her mentally and he doesnt get that. Good new is I have a great job potential with a Oral Surgeon. My cycle in life has seemed to be too littlt too late. We'll see. Take Care.

Hie,thank you. I am so exited about this website. All my life I felt like I was passing something by,,I always wanted to help others,but in the same token,I need help myself( so bad)..I cried my eyes out for the past,9 yrs..

but you maybe my answer so again thank you

Hi and thank you for reading. I am trying to find help for my best friend. He is the most caring for other people person I have ever meet and has help me very much. I love him dearly. My friend has low self esstem and feels ugly after a girl 4 years ago broke his heart by saying that he was the uglyiest person that she'd ever had been with. Can someone please help me find a solution to his problems. He has not had the dental care that is required in many years and I know that his mood and, outlook on life would improve only if he had more self confidence somthing that he says he's working on. I am a good friend and again, love him very very much but, I know how sensitive he is about his teeth and it is hard not knowing how to say that maybe if he were to see a someone who could help him his mood and self confidence may increase. He is currently looking for love and, I want to help him find it dearly because, I care so much not only for him but, for the reasons he's here ( to show people caring and how to open thier hearts to the world) that im now reaching out were ever I can. He is very low income and will tell me that it is the way god made him. So now...I'm looking for a sign from... Please if anyone reads and hears and feels my cries for help please contact me. Our only hope is eachother Please help give back my friend his life. Thank you very much. Eli F. Richey

Hello,

My name is shaina I am 19yrs old with a 2yr old daughter.  I am about to be homeless.  I am a full time student and my husband is about to divorce me.  Does anyone know any information regarding programs for single mothers.  I really need help.  I do not have any family that I can count on....Please..email me shaina_negrete@yahoo.com

Hi Keri,

You have to believe you are an incredible woman, there is nothing you can't do! Yes, you have suffered, but that will never stand in your way. You have conquered so many obstacles, so far, why do you let these small minded people trample your spirit? I have only 2 words for them - sorry, I can't repeat them here!

I don't know why people are allowed to suffer, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I do know that it does make you stronger. You have to know that your mom is in a beautiful place: no more fear, pain, or suffering. She watches over you with love. She is profoundly proud of you. She is with you always. She wants you to move on: get up, dust yourself off, and get moving. 

So how do you begin?  

Firsat of all you have custody. Is hubby paying support? If not, why not? Go to Child support and get it.  Make sure you get medical support and alimony for you, too! 

Now I know that takes awhile, so in the mean time, apply for social services - just until you get a job. Which by the way, they can help you find a job as well! 

here is the contact info for social services in your area:

Northampton County Assistance Office
201 Larry Holmes Drive
P.O. Box 10
Easton, PA 18044-0010

Phone: 610-250-1700
LIHEAP 610-250-1785/6
FAX: 610-250-1839

and you can apply online as well!  

I can understand living with relatives- so you  have to find a new place to live! Social services may be able to help with this as well. But you can also check HUD

Subsidized housing is based on your income - the lower your income, the lower your rent.

Also for food, clothing or other misc. you can always check with the red cross in your area (online) they have a listing that you can search through to find exactly what you need.

Good luck! I know you can do this!    

You are more than welcome for the prayers.

God bless you,

ekikaseven

thank you for your prayers!!!!!!!!!!!  I believe it is the beautiful people like yourself that will mend me in so many ways. Prayers are powerful and if anything, i have faith i will be ok and my daughter will have a wonderful role model in life thru me and my experiences.

Keri,

I am so sorry for the loss of your mother.  You have been through so very much in your lifetime.  Hang in there & may God bless you.

Lord,

Please comfort Keri & her family.  They have experiened a great loss.  Please heal her & uplift her spirit.  Please provide for all of her needs.  Amen.

My name is keri. Im 34 and a 13 year experienced dental assistant who is out of work and homeless with a beautifully talented and strong willed 8 year old daughter.  Last march to the day I lost my best friend and mother to cancer. She was 54 years old and the suffering she endured broke my spirit and beliefs and after three long years and a very positive outlook, she died miserably and painfully. I was diagnosed with lymes disease the same week she died and my ex spouse created a hell for me when i was already there by kidnapping pur daughter and claimimg to the courts i was unfit and on drugs due to the fact that i was ill and sad. I got custody of my daugher back and then lost my license and house due to tickets thath went unpaid because i could not work. I now live with my younger sister who treats my daughter like she is a piece of crap and my self esteem took the ultimate plunge.  My concern is not WHAT WILL I DO, i know i have a remarkable skill and will find work, my oncern is that i have no stable home for my child and she needs that more than anything to help her thru her grief and sadness and uplift her spiritually. Time is of the essence because my ex lives with his parents in a nice house and i fear another custody battle this time not ending so nice. He is angry and abusive but to the courts has more to offer her right now than I.    Please Help Me Find what I am Missing.  Something has to Give.  Ive been to all the outreach programs and It seems I just keep reaching with no one reaching back.  I am looking for work HARD> my family thinks i am lazy or not mentally stable.  Little do there judgements know I am super intelligent and will conquer this.  There faith in me maybe would have just spead it up. Now ill do it without them because im crushed at there implications.

I am so sorry for the loss of your parents.  With such a great loss it is quite understandable that one would have a breakdown.

I will pray for you,

ekikaseven

Re Cavaliers Dear Who Knew You are a better person than I am. I just do not even have the energy to respond to someone with such unrealistic expectations about receiving almost 200,000.00 from some benevolent aidmate. It is a shame that she would expect so much from strangers and so little of those nearest and dearest to her. She is not helping them to grow by allowing them not to step up to the plate and pitch in. Those lessons are just as valuable if not more than what she is trying to give them by protecting them from reality. You can be very direct at times but offer much wisdom in your truth. I am glad you have such spirit to take on the toughest cases.

I just love that picture of the lady with a butterfly:) Have a great evening. Viv

You seem to be very judgmental and defensive when questioned. I was merely asking questions and offering my observations due to your lack of information. If you read the entire post you would see that I offered suggestions. You are young, healthy, and according to you, educated. Your military discharge was over 15 years ago, why did you leave? Why didn't you stay in? You stated "April I find out that the love of my life is messing around on me and we break up, she takes both kids with her and moves out and takes income with her that was promised to the landlord and cable" Therefore, you were NOT the SOLE source of income and could not afford the apartment on your own. My observation was that you need to learn how to be independent. Yet your first reaction is to attack me - WHY? Also, Pennsylvania DOES have alimony or spousal support. Regarding the lemon law - I do stand corrected, in PA, it does apply only to NEW vehicles, however did you do a background check on the vehicle prior to your purchase? Did you get any type of warranty? Did you have a mechanic check out the vehicle prior to your purchase? Yes, hindsight is 20/20, but moving forward, perhaps you might be more careful in ALL your actions and decisions rather than lashing out at those who will not fall for your "poor me" attitude and expect you to act like the man you are supposed to be.

First off, you know nothing about me, yes I do pay child support and I am offended at your insinuation otherwise. People like you making a generalized statement based on others is what makes it hard for guys like me. And as far as alimony, Pennsylvania has no such thing, so do research before opening your mouth. My military discharge was over 15 years ago, so how would you like to suggest I "stay in"? Actually all it takes if for someone to "say" sexual harrasment and you can get fired, that's what makes it such a lame claim, no company would keep someone on the payroll that is "accused" of sexual harrasment, that's just waiting for a lawsuit. And if you knew anything of lemon law you would know that it doesn't cover anything over 5 years old and my car is over 10 years old. Once again . . . Do your research! And what the hell are you talking about someone else's kids, the 2 kids she left with ARE MINE idiot! And I was the soul income within the household, so how can you say "I" was being taken care of? So all of you comments are without any backing and without any knowledge of what you are talking about. For your information I could afford this place on my own "with" my vehicle. I HAVE a DEGREE just not in a field that is largely hiring. And who are you to judge. Your personal attack on me just shows how immature YOU are. Its a shame that people like you will TRY to kick someone when their down, but your speedy comments with a lack of information just shows how irresponsible you are. But thank you for your consideration.

Hello! Sure could use some help with our property taxes and utilites. My wife is a full-time teacher's aid studying for a graduate certificate to help children with autism and we have a 7 year old son. I am looking for work and we just can't keep our home if I can't land a job soon. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you! John

I made a mistake on my message to you where i said I am financially rich, i have never been financially rich but that is a goal of mine but I must complete graduate school first. You are very talented in finding resources, it looks like your gift is in social work also.

Thanks Who-Knew for offering to look at my resume. I should have sent you a message directly. I posted a comment for you in my comment section. I really appreciate you taking the time to read my page, and offering all your helpfulness and advice. It's nice to know there's a website like this that people actually want to help others. Enjoy your day!

If you were affected by hurricane katrina there are still many programs out there that are available - I'm especially concerned about your home because I know that there are some programs that are helping those who are having trouble meeting their mortgage payments. The best thing for you to do is to check with both FEMA and your state's website to see what grant and funding programs are available for you.

i got to this page through craigs list. im not really sure how to use this site, i dont have many computer skills. im just hoping someone will see this and give me some advice. on the downside of things, i am in new orleans struggling to stay here. my work situation isnt great, the mortgage company wants my house, and i cant pay my bills, all things im sure are not unique to the people who live here with me, and i dont want to whine about me personaly. on the upside, i have been accepted to sc ool in the fall to get a masters in social work. i am hoping to use my degree in new orleans, and help the people around me, i love this city and the people in it. unfortunately i am having trouble finding funding for school. i dont want to lose my dreams because of money- i have searched the net hi and lo, and i just dont know where to turn anymore. does anyone out there have any advice ?

Thank you for your advice. I will look into the resources that you have provided in your last post to my page. Thanks again and may god bless you. From Lisa in PA.

Hey thanks for allthe resources u gave me hopefully somebody can help I've been to all the hud housing places in the area but I just didn't have the money or there was a waiting list. I will not give up thanks for everything.

Do you know of any services that can help me pay for the cost for diagnostic services for a lump in my breast. My doctor is concerned as I had a swollen limphnode on the same side...but I cannot afford the biopsy or the ultrasound. Do you know of any programs that are specific to the diagnostic care of breast disease? I've tried for medicaid for six months and nobody returns the phone calls...it's too much of a buracracy to work through and the situation has become urgent. Please help.

Thank you for your advice. I posted a comment for you on my page instead of yours by accident if you would like to read it. God Bless.

would you please contact me with info to help my situation

It is so wonderful to see you posting again! Welcome home Who~Knew.

Hi Who Knew, It is so glad to have you posting again! I have missed you dearly. The site has not been the same since you have been gone. God bless you and I pray all is well with you Ekikaseven

Bravo, Bravo Who-Knew! I applaude you!

To: Who Knew, I totally agree with your post concerning 'average family'. While most of us 'worked' to get where we are, she just thinks 'we are supposed to hand out our hard-earned money to her'. We have an epidemic of 'irresponsible people', she seems to be in that category. She needs to understand this concept: 'No one owes anyone anything'. If someone tries to help someone it is out of the goodness of their hearts and the 'giftee' should express gratitude. I thank you and admire you for all the hardwork you have done to help others. I believe we should extend one a 'hand', not an 'ongoing handout'. Averagefamily has the WRONG name listed. Because in the 'averagefamily', both parents work to provide for the family! I don't know what makes her think she is the 'queen' and people should 'SERVE HER'. The mentality of some people here just amazes me. Who Knew, I wish you the best in all your endeavors. May God bless you, ekikaseven

Thank you all for your wonderful words of support, but it really isn't necessary. I know the people who are appreciative and those who are not. As for "average family", she is the epitome of the clueless mentality that I originally posted about. She is the type of person whose situation will never change (probably only get worse) and all she will do is blame others for her misfortune. I can certainly stand up against the likes of her and any one else that comes along to try and mar my character, but it warms my heart to see the show of support - THAT is what aidpage is SUPPOSED to be about. Finally, a note to "averagefamily": You have a right to post your feelings, after all it is a free country - for the most part. Just as you have the right to post your request here on aidpage, but remember, by posting, you open yourself up to responses. If you do not like what you hear, then I suggest, you do not post or remove your post. I did not say anything to you I would not say to anyone else. I still feel you are a self-serving, immature, loathsome, human being and your response just proves my point. What infuriates me more is the fact that you do not apologize, but try to defend your position? You have everything and more, but it is not enough, and yet you still feel you are ENTITLED to more?! Now, you are raising a child with this same mentality. I fear this child is one of many who will run this country and leave mass destruction in their wake - worse than we are facing now. As for me, No, I was NOT trolling EBAY all day. In fact, I was doing something much more productive. I was working at my full time job - something YOU might want to try some time. Then I went shopping for groceries to feed my children with the money I EARNED, from the job I WORK every day, 40 hours a week. Now, I am going to pay MY bills with MY money, that I EARNED. Then I am going to do MY taxes and collect MY REFUND from the job I WORKED. Because of all this, I have food on my table, clothes on my back, a roof over my head, a car to get me back and forth to work (with gas) and little luxuries like a computer, internet and cable TV. I even bought myself new socks and slippers today. Do you know why? BECAUSE I EARNED THEM! Something I am sure you know nothing about! So when you have earned the credibility I have, THEN you have the right to say something. Until then, shut up, grow up, and accept responsibility for your choices.

averagefamily , whatever is bothering you has nothing to do with WHO~KNEW . You have a major anger problem . I am sorry that you are hurting so much that you are taking it out on people like WHO~KNEW who has done n
