A Mother's Day Wish for my Grandma...... Growing up as hard in a family were my parents divorced early in my life. My entire childhood was unstable with my mother suffering from depression and drug use and my father following dreams that never worked out. My brother, dad, and myself were without a home on a few occasions and I went to nine different schools by the time I was in ninth grade. My grandma was a single mom of four and was able to buy a house when her kids were in high school and many times we had to live with her. A good portion of my childhood my brother and I lived with her and three of my cousins because both of our fathers were struggling single parents. Even after I became an adult I made many mistakes and became pregnant and homeless she still took me in and helped me learn to be a good mother. She has always sacarficed her needs and wants for her four kids, thirteen grankids, and now five great grandkids. She doesn't have much but she always found a way to make ends meet when someone was in need. Everyone has grown up and moved out on their own so for the first time in about thirty years my grandma has an empty house with all the wear and tear. The dog she had for about thirteen years recently past away. She is retired with many health problems and very low income. Her house is in need of some TLC and her fence is falling apart fast! Recently when I went to visit her I found a large dog in her back yard that got in through her fence and is barely stands and it really concerned me especially cause she watches my five year boy (who has no fear of any dog) when I am working. Basically I want so much to get her a new fence for all she has done. I worry so much about that fence. If I could buy her a new fence she could get a new dog as her companion and for protection. I worry about her and my son even going in the backyard since seeing that dog back there and that wasn't the only time. So please if you could understand how much this means to me. I love my grandma, she is the glue that holds our family together and I don't know what any of us would do without her. I really feel that this fence will help ensure that she will be here a longer so please for her, for my son, for my family please help me.
I do know that there are such things as emergency financial grants. You will have to demonstrate and prove need but this kind of assistance is out there and available. The organizations that provide them are varied and they each have their own individually and specific guidelines and requirements that have to be met before you can apply.
Please help us with a grant....we are in desperate need of a fincial blessing. I am a single parent and trying to make ends meet, my income is nothing hardly...my illness prevents me from doing work because I'm constantly in pain. Can you see it in your heart to give us this grant?
Hi Mike,
It is admirable that you have the courage to go through all this. But do not get desparate, sooner or later things will start to improve.
Have you ever tried applying for grants? There are many programs of the federal and state governments and of private foundations that are aimed at aiding low-income individuals. There are programs that provide housing support, education or medical care funding, etc. In the next section there is a link to a page, whcih has many links to federal programs for low-income individuals. Hope this helps at least a little.

I don't know if this will help me but here goes. I have been going though a bad Divorce, and got hit with State and Federal Taxes for the last two years due to the Divorce, and it has cost me a lot of money in Legal fees. I know that this happens to lot of others out there, and not just me. I have a full time job, but what I earn doesn't even come close to my legal fees and other bills I have. I rent a two bed room duplex for my 3 1/2 year old Daughter and my self. Now I'm worry about being out on the street soon, if I do not get some help soon. I have applied for other help though Local and State Organization, but this is a slow process and it seems that you have to be already out on the street or very closes to it. Now the real concern for all this is, back last February I took my little girl to the Doctor for a medical problem which is still on going today, and that lead us to have a C/T Scan for the first problem, and during that scan they found a lump in her brain that we did not know was their, then a second C/T Scan, and two MRI to determine what to do about the marble size lump in Her Brain. She is also going to have surgery for the first problem, and now it is getting worst also. What I need is Money to pay the Bills to keep the roof over are heads so I will be able to deal with Her Problem. So all I can do now is to pray and hope for a good out come for her, and try to keep thing together the best I can. Thank you for reading this, and listening . Sincerely Mike
