Hi I am a mother. I have two great boys. My oldest is 17 and graduated early from high school. My youngest is 14 he has brittle bone disease and Aspergers. My family is my whole world, without them I couldn't be me. If you want to know more feel free to ask.

My Purpose

Wow that is one for thought my purpose. In life my purpose is to be a good person, a faithful Christian, a loving mother. My purpose in life is to raise strong boys and make them into stong men who know what it is to be a loving husband and father when they are grown. To teach them values and respect for themselves and others. I think that is the most important purpose I can think of. I believe that God gave me these boys for a reason and that is to help them become the best men they can be. Not only for themselves but for God and their community.

I'm in tears

Posted on Mon 10 May, 08:34 pm

When it rains it seems it pours. Well I am on what they call a medicaid spin down and it is up on May 31st. I called to see if I can have it extended because I will need follow up care after surgery. Well no I can't get it extended. I will have to incur 3,078.00 in medical bills in order to get the medicaid again. My income is crap but they think people can live off of 10.00 a month. I am so stressed, I don't know what to do. I don't know if I should cancel the surgery and just deal with the pain or have the surgery and deal with what comes after. The surgery is on the 13th of May so that doesn't give me any time to be able to do physical therapy I should be able to fit a dr visit in but that is about it. I just don't know where to turn its like all the cards are stacked against me and I have no one to turn to for advice or help. God please send a miracle, I need one so bad. >>>

Domestic Violence

Description: I need an attorney as soon as possible. My husband threw me and my boys out of our home after years of abuse. We were homeless until the 18th of August, I found an apartment and we have gotten settled in. I am in a different state than he is and the laws are different between the states. He has gotten an attorney and wants me to sign papers that say I will not say anything because some of the things he has done could cause him to lose his job. This is not the route I want to take and he is not the father of my children. I am on disability and when the divorce goes through I will no longer have medical insurance and I have to wait until April of 2011 to get medicare. My SSD check makes me ineligible for medicaid which you can't have an income of over 200.00 to receive that. I get 1500.00 a month from SSD and that goes to rent, electricity, car insurance, meds, dr. copays, and food. There is nothing left after these things and as it is I am doing without a lot of meds. I have tried legal aid and they won't take my case due to property settlement, they don't handle anything with property. My car is in his name, it's not much a 1997 Jeep Cherokee which I am always having to fix but it is all I have. The state he is in is not a community property state so he has legal rights to my car. I have taken being hit, called names, being put down, emotional abuse and my own kids seeing all of this and having to deal with the emotional abuse he dished out. I am not trying to fight for anything except what is fair. I cannot make it without a car there is no public transportation where I live. He moved us to Mississippi and 6 months to the day he threw us out of the house thinking that would make me a resident there. Louisiana is a community property state and will give me the right to my own car. I have taken a lot including him having affairs and like I said the abuse but enough is enough I need to find an attorney that will help me fight to get my own belongings. I have called every attorney in the phone book and they all want a retainer of 2500 dollars which I do not have. I left without a penny to my name at the beginning of August and in that time I have managed to get an apartment and get my kids settled and safe. Please help me to find away to keep the little that I have. If you even know of an attorney who can practice in Louisiana that would take this case and help me please anything would be so appreciated. Thank you for listening and please ask if you have any questions.

Expense

Description: Michie's husband's job was transfered last November of 2008. He moved with the job without Michie and lived there in a camper on a local campground until Michie was able to move with her son in February 2009. Little did Michie know, the public school where he son was about to attend was not only in a bad neighborhood but full of crime, drugs, gangs, etc. Michie has tried everything in her power to get her son into a different school but they wont allow a transfer. Her son, who is handicap, is miserable and from what we understand in a dangerous situation. Everyday her son is teased, picked on and bullied. Her last straw was when she was picking her son up from school and hse witnessed a drug deal. That day she decided she had to do something so she went to the Christian school nearby and talked to them. Its an excellent school and has all the necessary accommodations for her special needs son. The school costs $1,000 - which covers tuition, misc. fees and books. Michie and her husband believe they will be able to cover next years tuition because they will start budgeting for it now however they cannot afford it this year. She is thinking about withdrawing from her 401k but it takes 30 days after she receive the paper work and she hasn't received the papers yet. Only $1,000 is needed to get Michie's son into a better learning environment that impact him for the rest of his life. Any amount you can donate will help get Michie closer to her goal.

My progress: I have a wish at WUAH and received 2 shirts 2 pants and a tie. They were also able to get the tuition for this year lowered from 1000.00 to 650.00 which is a blessing, I have sold some personal items and have made approximately 50.00. I have a chip-in on Greedy or needy which states I have 89 dollars and some change. Out of that I had to ship some things because I had an auction to sell some purses and aprons that I had made. I have had someone offer to send me 40.00 through the mail. ( I am hoping I will receive this but I don't know this person and am waiting to receive it before counting it as part of what I have raised. I have applied to modest needs but was denied due to the fact that they don't help with tuition. I am updating to let everyone know I got the money oreder in the mail today for 40.00 so I am 40.00 closer to my goal. I just had a small set back. A cell phone I sold had a problem and I had to refund 36.00 to the buyer and I am also out the shipping so just updating.

This is a one time only expense assistance request for a family of 2 adults & 2 children

My message:Please if there is anyone out there who can help us it would be greatly appreciated. This is not a normal thing for me normally I take care of my kids myself but with the move and this being unexpected I just can't come up with the money. I didn't budget for it. I do not live outside of my means and I budget everything I just never expected this to happen. Thank you for listening and caring.

Supporting Documentation: Michie has the following documentation

Do you qualify for any additional help?: no we do not.

What local/other agencies have you contacted?: we don't have any that will help with tuition. He is 14 years old. I have as I said tried modest needs, WUAH, and GON and sold personal items.

Did you get denial letters? (if so are they attached to your request?): Yes from Modest needs

What other sources of income do you or your family receive?: My husband works and I will be getting SSD start May 20th.
