Financial Assistance

mindi_jo started this conversation

Hi.  My name is Mindi.  My husband and I have run into some unforseen problems lately.  He lost his job and his current job only pays 250 a week.  My husband is the sole provider for our family of five.  I currently returned to college and am unable to work because I have three small children to look after.  If anyone can help us with the bills we have fallen behind on, or if anyone knows how to find some financial assistance, we both would be greatly indebted.  We want to teach our children the importance of education by setting good examples for our children.

Hello Pica

Hi Lisa,

I would try this for help with medicine

http://www.friendsofman.org/

What Friends of Man Does

Friends of Man provides the needy with the following; Food, Clothing, Medicine, Prostheses, Wheelchairs, Eyeglasses, Dentures, Medical Equipment, Daycare, Training and Education, Hearing Aids, and More!

http://www.pparx.org/

See if you are able to get help with pparx above with the medical costs .

Then see if you can get help from modestneeds.org to see if it will help you with rent and you can apply on line. There are other possiblities with help from rent here. It is hard to find help for rent as I have tried two years ago in CA but funds weren't there and still not there which doesn't help anyone. Try these and let's hope for the best

Good luck

Hi Mindi

I know a lot of what you are experiencing. Recently my boyfriend lost his job and I am too a full time college student with 2 small children. I was forced to take on a part time job in addition to kids and school which is exausting. Anyways my big suggestion is to check with your local state office about getting on food stamps and cash assistance. They usually help. This will help get you through till maybe something on here can come through. Another thing is if you are not on the WIC program and your children are under 5 you should qualify check it out also at your local state office(or at least they will know where to tell you to go) anyways best of luck to you! Hopefully we both find what we are looking for.
