I am greatful that i can give my children a christmas this year! However, someone very near and dear to me is not as fortunate,........my mother. My mom is raising 3 grandchildren on a fixed monthly income. As of December 1st, the government cut her check 120dollars. Not only does she not have enough to pay the rent for the holidays, but the added pressure of giving my neice and 2 nephews a christmas! So if you are fortunate enough to be able to assist someone, please consider helping my mother! God bless, and Happy Holidays to you and yours!!!!!!!

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! any thing with an automatic trans will do. Were not picky... just hoping a kind soul will be able to help me to help my parents. Thank you for your time, your consideration, and hopefully, your help.

I am 35, I have worked at the hospital for 3 weeks now in house keeping. I have 3 kids and a grandson. I work and come home. I don't drink smoke or do drugs. just kids and work. I am saved and have full faith in God. I'm simple, nothen else about me. I'm a surviver of domestic violance, and I want to help others get out. 

I am a working class married woman with zero children.  Infertily options has been flushed.  I can' believe I'm saying that I am poor when I work.  I don't qualify for low income housing, bankrutcy is really not going to help.

I need someone to help us.

I promised myself that I would start a legitimate non-profit agency in my community to help the working people so that they would not have to suffer and feel sick.  Pay Day Lending is definitely not the cushion.  Sometimes people just need a good ole fashion cushion.

We need to pay it forward.

My name is Don.

I am a husband and father to three great children who have been through a lot in their short lifetimes.

I enjoy simple things, quiet times, loving and caring for my family.

As many parents do, I want more for my children, but for now I would like to just be able to continue feeding, clothing, guiding, and keeping a roof over their heads.

Hard working father of two boys Joshua (8), Ricky(12). Married and devoted husband of Linda. Honest, easygoing, happy, loving, just having a hard time right now I never lose hope, pray everyday, and BELEAVE!!

    I was born in Pine Bluff. Worked twenty one years in the school system. Gave up my job to return to my community where low income , poverty and drugs has infested the community. I am widow with four grown children.

   My life style has changed because I have given it up to serve God and my community.

 I see children that are in  school who can not write their names, nor can they read. The parent are unable to help them.I see young ladies without high school education with no hope. I am determine to make a difference in my community. No matter what it cost me and it has cost me a lot.

I am a black female, 53 years of age.  On May 3, 2004 I retired from the Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections with 20 years of service as a Corrections Master Sergeant.  Formely for the 10 years prior I was a secondary school teacher for the Dade County Public School System.

I am a 1974 graduate of Southern University with a B.S. Degree in Education.  Born in Ethel, LA and reared in Baton Rouge, LA,  a 1970 graduate of Scotlandville Senior High School in Baton Rouge, LA.

I am presently living on a small pension income and have several health problems (diabetes, high blood pressure, glucoma) and have not been able to secure a job.  The reason I retired was due too the long hours(12) and stress of Corrections.
