funds to pay tuition and get girls a gift

My fiance hurt his back at work 2 months ago and life has gone haywire since then. He's only making $5.15/hr on work comp., which is just rediculous. I have been taking care of everything because he's not allowed to stand for long periods or to lift anything over 5 lbs...which means even holding his new daughter is out. We both decided it's time to go back to school, so that we can get stable, well paying jobs to support our beautiful little girls, kayla 10 and cheyanne 3 months. We've applied for financial aid but it's not going to cover the full costs and because of the debts we've accumulated over the past few months, our credit isn't good enough to get approved for personal loans to pay the rest. We can't afford the $400+/mo. that we would have to pay in order to attend our classes. I'm really hoping that you can find it in your hearts to give us your votes. I also want to get cheyanne a jumperoo as she's gotten too big for her bouncer seat and if she lays on the floor anymore her head's going to get flat. This poor baby has nothing to play with. My other daughter has just been such a huuuuuuge help to me with all of this that I'd really like to get her a special toy or something as a thank you. She's given up so much to help me in the past couple months and she deserves a little reward. Thank you for reading my wish. We'll be keeping our fingers crossed, hoping for your votes. (more)

I am currently trying to come up with enough money to buy a bulk lot of children's clothing to donate to the wish upon a hero foundation. There is a HUGE list of people in need of clothing and I just want to help as much as I can. I can get quite a lot of clothing this way and help many families by doing this and that is what I'm wishing for. (more)

money to purchase new clothes for needy families 2nd Round

OK, I'm reposting this wish in the hopes that I will win and be able to help others. I've gone through all the clothing I had from myself and my daughter and donated all of our barely used clothing to local and not so local needy families. Now, I would like to purchase a whole bunch of clothing in order to donate to the families on WishUponaHero.com. The lists for clothing are HUMONGOUS and only getting longer with our economy. I'm a bargain shopper so I know that with $100 I could definitely purchase a ton of clothing for those families needing help. Plus, I do business with several wholesalers who I can purchase from in bulk lots for cheap. So please share your stars with me, so that I can grant the wishes of so many families!

I'm also accepting donations through PayPal if you'd like to help.
My paypal address is LMarie1979@aol.com if you'd like to donate towards this great cause.
Just put "Clothing Donation" in the memo box so I know what it's for.

Please help me to clothe the families of WUAH!

Thanks a bunch for reading my wish (more)

money to purchase some new clothes for the 1st time in yrs.

The last 2 wishes I made were to try to get money for someone else. This time, I'm gonna be selfish and see if that helps.
Anyone who has kids knows that when it comes to moms, we put ourselves last to make sure that our families have what they want and need.
Well, for once, I'd like to put myself first. I haven't purchased any new clothing for myself in over 5 years, and WOW does it show. While standing in line waiting to purchase formula for the baby the other day I noticed a big hole in my already faded t-shirt and my shorts looked like they'd been through a war. I have not purchased new shoes in close to 3 years now either. I would really like to just go out and get myself some new, much needed shoes and a couple of new outfits so that I don't look homeless anymore!
I marked this wish as greedy, because although my clothing has all seen better days, I won't suffer if I have to wait for it. (more)

money to purchase new clothes for the first time in years X2

The last 2 wishes I made were to try to get money for someone else. This time, I'm gonna be selfish and see if that helps. This is try #2 for this wish, hopefully two times will be all it takes.
Anyone who has kids knows that when it comes to moms, we put ourselves last to make sure that our families have what they want and need. As a matter of fact I have to take money out of next weeks' check to buy the baby a new car seat and some clothes that fit her.

Well, for once, I'd like to put myself first, but I know I'll never do that with the money from our paychecks; I'd feel too guilty. I haven't purchased any new clothing for myself in over 5 years, and WOW does it show. My fiance` took over a lot of my t-shirts and old jeans when he first moved up here because he had nothing that was proper for a cold Chicago winter, but from him wearing them to work, I can't wear those things anymore. I have 2 pairs of pants that fit and they're both stretch pant material and have seen better days. None of my old jeans fit anymore, apparently I haven't completely lost all the baby belly from my pregnancy (stupid c-section). I don't have any sweaters or sweatshirts or anything nice. LOL I wanna dress like a woman, not a vagabond! I wanna go shopping for new cute little bras and panties! And finally get some new socks LOL It's starting to get cold here (was only 47 degrees this morning) and I don't even have a sweatshirt or coat to stay warm. I've never won anything before, it would be great if the first thing ever that I won would be this money. So please help me out by dropping off your stars.

I had someone offer to grant me some shoes after I posted this the first time. New shoes, I don't remember what that feels like..It's been 3+ years since I've bought a pair of shoes for myself. I can't wait to receive them LOL

So c'mon, what do ya say? Can you help a new mom get her groove back? (more)

OK, I'm reposting this needy wish in the hopes that I will win and be able to help others. I've gone through all the clothing I had from myself and my daughters and donated all of our barely used clothing to local and not so local needy families. Now, I would like to purchase a whole bunch of clothing in order to donate to the families on WishUponaHero.com and to donate some of it to the Baby and Clothing Forums so they can ship out items they already have available but can't afford to ship. The lists for clothing and baby needs are HUMONGOUS and only getting longer every day. I'm a bargain shopper so I know that with $100 I could definitely purchase a bunch of clothing for those families needing help and still have money to donate towards shipping for the forums. Cold weather is just around the corner for many people, or even already starting to set in for some of us; Help me give the gift of warmth to some great people in need.

Thank you for reading and considering my wish,
