Biography
I am a Latvian Citizen as well as an American Citizen. I am 33 years old and do not work at the moment. I have suffered much in life and went through alot. For the past 3 years my life has been about making myself whole, taking care of my children and just doing the domestic thing. Something I was never accustomed to before. My kids are my life and I would do anything for them. I am a full time college student and take classes online in order to be home with my kids. I live on my school loans, and that is providing I keep my grades up and I get a check about once every 4 1/2 months or so. . I have severe depresssion, panic and anxiety attacks as well as suffering from OCD. Sometimes I dont leave my house for months, only to go shopping, doctors visits for the kids or stuff like that. I seem to do well in the online social network, but find it difficult to socialize out side in public. I have filed for dissability only to be denied. I had found a lawyer to help me appeal it and he felt there was not enough evidence to support my dissability because I have never tried to commit suicide or been to a mental hospital. I can function great at home with the kids and online doing my school. But this makes it difficult to find work as well. I want to work I want to better myself and I thank this site for helping me, helping me meet new friends and just for giving me some hope. Thank you.
My Purpose
I am a single full time college student and mother, 2 Classes away from an associates in Business Administration with a concentration in Marketing, and then my Bachelor will be Human resource management with a minor in Marketing. I am struggling to just make it month to month with bills. I have 2 little ones. A two and a half year old and an little one that will be a year old the end of August. I am raising my boys by myself. I suffer from depression, anxiety and panic attacks, and have overcome much in life. Although I still have a long ways to go, I keep striving to better myself and to try and remain positive. I came here to MG to be involved with a positive group of caring individuals. I am actively trying to find employment and everday is a struggle just coming up with basic needs such as diapers for the kids, car gas, personal items. And my children have outgrown their clothing. I am hoping to find some hope here and a little help to get through these rough stages in life. My goal is to do something to help others and find a way to work online, or find employment where I can give back to the community and help others. For Christmas I started my own helping project in my community and donated to everyone in need who called me. It was fun, and very re-warding. I figured my kids are babies and so would not miss out if I used extra money to help other famillies. I enjoy helping others and I want to do something big in my life to help others, I am still trying to find my direction and purpose...

Panic Attacks, Anxiety Disorder..And Vertigo... Need Emergency Help to
Purchase Perscriptions and go to a real doctor. Please help me get to
get better.
Description: I suffer from Anxiety as well as Panic attacks and depression. I had my son 6 months ago and when he turned 4 months old, my medical insurance ran out. I have sought help in my local community to no avail. Well, something strange has been happening to me, this last week I was in the emergency room 2 times. First I woke up with really bad neck pain, and I just thought I had slept on my neck wrong. Well as the days grew, I could no longer turn my neck. I went to the Emergency room for the pain, because I cannot pay to go to a doctor and I know the emergency room cannot turn you away because you have no money. Well, the doctors gave me a prescription for a muscle relaxer and sent me on my way. I was able to get that filled and started taking them. Well the first night home from the hospital I started getting dizzy spells, really bad. So I went back to the hospital, once again they send me home with some more prescriptions to fill for a medicine called Antivert, ( to stop the dizziness.) ..

Praying for a little help..
Description: I have two babies. My car is a 93 Cadillac Sedan deville. Its old but has been running for a year now since I purchased it last year. As long as I keep it up it does us well. Its very bad on gas, but we use it for just priorities such as Grocery shopping, doctors office appointments for the kids, and WIC appointments, Parenting classes, Play groups, etc..
If we lived in a big city we would have city buses that run at all hours, but.. we live in a small country town here in Michigan and there are no City buses that you can just catch every 30 minutes. With an almost 8 month old and a 2 1/2 year old, its hard to travel walking.. (which would be WAY too far to get to any store, doctor etc..) and having our car repaired and things running smoothly on it would help us a great deal. It is very difficult to be a single mommy and not be able to get in your car and take the kids anywhere, especially with the nicer weather. Thank you for viewing my request. Any help is GREATLY APPRECIATED.

Why? The potential long term impact..
This will enable me to better care for my
children if our vehicle is mobile. We are not
in a big city where there are city busses, we
live in a small country town. Transportation
is vital for doctor appointments, WIC
appointments, Grocery shopping, etc.
