Help I'm broke and I can't afford groceries!

Help I'm broke and I can't afford groceries!

I don't like to ask for anything from anyone. We've been so blessed and we count on God to take care of our needs.
So many things have happened, including my husband being in the hospital, I've been sick, we've had car problems, the list goes on. He's an hourly employee and missed 2 weeks work and my check was short because I didn't get paid on some of my jobs (commission). I'll get paid on them next month and will have to use that to dig us out of this hole. The drop in income has me scrambling to to get by.
We are a working family. My husband and I work and so do 2 of our teenagers. The other 2 are too young to work. Even with 4 jobs between us, we cannot afford school lunches or groceries. My kids are packing sandwiches and chips everyday and we're running low on food. That's the one thing we always have, and this month, we need help.

I've pushed some bills off until next month where I can. I'm wishing for money to buy food.
All I'm asking for is your prayers and your vote! Thank you.

Thanks for your support.

Coat granted...and possably* boots too *edited*

Coat granted...and possably* boots too *edited*

My 8 year old daughter needs a coat and boots. We have very very cold winters here. My daughter has a coat someone gave her, but its not heavy enough for our winters. We are layering up clothes already and she is still saying she is cold.
I simply dont know what to do for her. I have no money to buy new coat and boots for winter.

Why cant we afford it? OMG........where to start....My husband was dignoised with Carpel tunnel and wont be working at all this winter! I will be picking up the pieces and going to work, but my income wont even be enough to pay all the bills...let alone buy food..or even consider buying her a coat or boots for when the snow comes.
I have managed to get the two youngest warm coats donated to them...But again we havent got one warm enough for her...

I've had my laptop for about 3 years now, and it works great! I've only every had one other problem with it, but I started my laptop the other day, and I get this warning message:

SMART failure predicted on hard disk 2

In other words my laptop will drop dead if I do not replace the hard drive. The hard drive is dying, and my laptop will need a new one in order for my computer to work.

Hard drives are usually not cheap, believe me, I've been searching online, but I found this cheap one for about 90 bucks with 8 dollars shipping.

Thank you!

Help to make it through

Life has been busy, medical appts. for myself and for my 4 yr old son. We sometimes have to take him to childrens hospital up to 5-6 times a month. its a little over an hour away. With gas as high as it is it is costing us an arm and a leg.

We really could use a hand to get through the appts in Nov. and Dec. so we can get back on track and be able to make it again.

Upcoming appointments that we have at childrens for son are, with his gentetics doc, nuerologist, pulmologist, his ENT, and on Dec 5th he is having a brochioscopy(sp) and biopsy done as well. Then at the end of the month we have another round of appointments with all of the docs lsited above.
He also has PT & OT a few times weekly at a hospital clinic that is 25 mins away.

For myself I have appts. with a few diff. docs as well.

It can get overwhelming as all get out. I just need a break. The hundred dollars would be an immense blessing .

Thank you for taking the time to read my wish and possibly consider voting for it.

Family Pictures

Family Pictures

I have not had pictures of any of us since Mckinley was a few months old. I had another child since then and the only real picture of her was her newborn pictures. I would like to get the money to get 1 picture of all of us and 2 of Abby and 2 of Kinley and 2 of Annabell. I feel so bad that I have no pictures of them but I could not afford to get them done. And me and Brian has one picture of us together and that was when we were dating and we have been married for 11 years now. Please vote for us to have pictures made. I will be going to walmart to have them done because that is the only place we have here to do picture that doesnt cost 500 dollars for a sitting. Thank you.

The baby in the photo is my Annabell she will be 3 in November and she needs her picture took so I can add her to my family wall. I will be going to Walmart to get these done. I found a great coupon for them.

Merrily I Go Skipping Along Handing Out Hugs and Daisies

Yeah right. And then monkeys fly outta my ass.

But I DO like singing and dancing and happy endings! Well not me so much as my inner gay man, Fernando. Fernano LOVES musicals. He wants to choose some musicals from Amazon. Seven Brides for Seven Brothers for sure, and one or two others. He wants to sing along to the musicals while snacking on cheese and crackers and sipping champagne.

Every once in a while, I must indulge Fernando or he will explode butterflies and rainbow and glittery unicorns everywhere and I just can't let that happen.

Stuck With The "Everybody Loves Raymond" MOM!!!

Stuck With The "Everybody Loves Raymond" MOM!!!

Ok, SO! We moved in with my in-laws. Yes, craziness, what were we thinking, I know.

My father-in-law was diagnosed with cancer in April of '08. They asked us to move in with them to help with the medical bills, and they thought it would help us out since I am disabled due to a semi-truck wreck. Well, my father-in-law is doing great now, had his surgery, cancer-free, soon to return to work. And now we are STUCK here with them because we don't have the cash for rental & utility deposits.

One might ask "What's so bad about that?" What's so bad about it is my MOTHER-IN-LAW. For months now she's gotten jealous over ANYONE who takes my husband's attention away from her. He comes home every day, comes into our room first to say hello to me, and within 10 minutes, she's calling him for something because she "needs" him to do this or that. Now, I'm an adult, I know. So, I deal with it...sometimes not well, but I do deal with it.

The real problem arises when she gets jealous about his attention going to one of our 3 daughters. The oldest 2 are mine, the youngest is his. We just recently got custody of his from her mother (which is where all of what money we have is going to....lawyer bills). My two girls...they live with their dad most of the time, and they want to be with me, but can't stand hubby's mom. How sad is it that a 57 year old woman "tattles" on an 11 year old? It's hubby's daughter that is 11 (yes, this is her granddaughter). His mother is SOOOOO jealous of her, she first started yelling at her for silly stuff when we first moved in...we stopped that, so now she "tattles" on her to us. I mean, who really cares if the child left her bag in the floor of her own room for 5 minutes when she got home from school??

Anyway, that's the story. We need help to get out of this house!! We obviously need more than $100, but we would be happy to have ANY help, if y'all know what I mean.

Think of it as helping out 3 kids who are stuck with a cross between "Everybody Loves Raymond" Mom and a 5 year old who can't stand not having all the attention on her who is now throwing a tantrum in the middle of the floor.

Now ya got it...

My Daughter was sexually abused this summer. She was scared to tell because it was a relative that is 12 years old. We are going through therapy and she is learning how to cope with it all. A time to enjoy being a sweet little girl. Or a day to feel special again. She always has a smile and loves to sing. Ever since this summer she's scared to sleep alone and ask us why do I cry for no reason? This is the worst year ever and my husband and I would love to give her a opportunity to create new and exciting memories to help wipe away the bad ones. We would like for her to have a day of happiness after a of summer of sadness. Please help us grant her this wish to help ease the pain.
