Hello, I first appreciate your time just reading my post. There are no small kids involved in our situation...it's just me and my husband. I work 2 hours a day 1-5 days a week and this is our only income...My husband is fighting for disability again. Just 4 years ago we were buying our 1st home, I had a great job, 2-3 vehicles and we were well on our way to a real life, when a tragedy struck and our 15 year old son was killed in a car accident. At this time, we had been clean 6 years from any and all drugs.....My husband and I and our 14 year old son did the best we could to continue our lives without our 15 year old. The pain is just as sharp today and never ending. Within 6 months I lost my job, our home to foreclosure and just 9 months ago our last vehicle. Our 14 year old son has since turned 18 and moved in with his girlfriend and working toward graduating this May. His dad and I are still homeless.... We did make some mistakes along the way with our past addictions but are ready to put everything into making a life for ourselves. We live in a small town where I cannot get a better job, no vehicle to get back and forth to the next bigger town and no roof over our heads. We have stayed a few nights with this one or that one until they could no longer help because they were endangering losing their own homes. We will go to any and all lengths to be given the chance to have a place to live. We continue to struggle terribly on a daily basis with our loss but have found a way to face the next day and then the next day. We are not asking for anything extravagant....just a room where we can sleep...somewhere to store a lil food and prepare that food and a place to shower and take care of ourselves....... I will find a better job and find us permenent living arrangements asap........I do have a past drug charge that does not allow me to get public housing. I am working to make our lives better but it seems that everything out there is to keep putting you down and not allowing you to make a life again. I have a drug charge so I am not important enough to eat and therefore cannot receive foodstamps along with the housing problem. We just need a lil helping hand to help ourselves. I see no way out and what are we to do.....Just parish???? I don't want to go too far away from here or we will not be able to visit our sons grave.... we have special traditions that we do different times of the year to honor him. so if u can help in any way....we appreciate....Thank you

Hello, I really don't know how to start this letter but here it goes. I was injuried at work, workmens comp has said I am MMI, my job stated they don't have anything for me to do because of my injury. I have lost my (rented) home, job,phone and a way to even feed myself. I thought Workmens comp. was there to help you when you are injured at work. I have no way to see a doctor, no inurance, Cinniantti insurance won't pay for a visit or medication. I live everyday wondering how I will deal with the pain, if I will get to eat something more then peanut butter. The insurane company has starved me out, pain I can't even think what to do to help myself. Over the years I have heard stories, like my own I need help. I need a doctor. My hip was not like this before the fall, now I can't even walk a block, I sleep in a chair. It has been almost a year that I have slept all night, the pain keeps me awake. Where do I turn? For the last month the insurace company says it is waiting on a rating of how disabled I am. The doctors office tells me they haven't contacted them for the rating which requires a fee, I can't pay to get for the insurance company. I need Help. Where do I turn? I vote, I worked, I was a productive member of society. I want to give back help others but how? I know workmens comp is just waiting for me to go away but I can't I need a doctor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So will someone help me?

My name is Elyne Strauss. I'm a transplant from Florida. As a widow, receiving SS survivor benefits, I am looking for employment so I can afford a car, furniture and eventually a house. In the meantime, I've been having signs and symptoms of arthritis that hinder me from walking to the library to search for a job and catch buses to shop. As a christian, I trust God for all my needs knowing that He supplies those needs through people and circumstances. This leads me to write to you for guidance in finding a donated vehicle, senior job referral and support group. Many others will be "slipping through the cracks" if we corporately don't do something and do something quick! Please direct me to the agencies that can provide the above. If there are no such "helps", let me help you help others by forming information and support for those desperate souls here in the US and Indy. Your fellow Christian American Patriot, Elyne Strauss 317-717-7701 Beech Grove, Ind. 46107

I do not know how much this letter is going to help me, but at the least, I can express how I feel. I have lived a rough life ever since I was little, but I have always overcame everything that has came my way. Now, I'm not so sure if I can overcome the situation I am now facing. I have been through a lot, but I have definently been through more this year then I could even imagine. I won't tell you my whole life story, but I'll share the last couple years. First, I had my life going for me, I was engaged, pregnant, had a job, a car, and we were working on getting our own place. Well, I ended up having a miscarriage, so he left me and I was back to being on my own again with nothing. Then last year, I get my own place and a car, still have my job and was about to start school. Well, again I lost my apartment and my car and my license, so I ended up moving in with friend of mine so I can start all over once again. Now this is where all the problems started rolling in like thunder in an on going storm. Last year, when my car had broke down so my exes brother let me use his car to drive back n forth to work for a couple days. Well, I ended up getting a ticket in his car and eventually ended up getting my license suspended because I had prior unpaid tickets that I couldn't afford at the time. Well, I finally got the money to pay off my tickets adn got my license back. Then the BMV tells me I need my exes brothers insurance information or my license will get suspended again. I had no way of contacting him or anything because I had just met him and didn't know anything about him. So, they told me I can protest it and write a letter to the judge axplaining my situation, so I did. I didn't hear anything back, so I assumed everything was fine. So, I ended up getting another car finally only to find out, the car I had just bought has many problems of its own, so I was trying to come up with the money to fix it. Then just within a month, I end up getting raped, robbed, my grandma passed away, and I lost my car and license again. First, I got a ticket for drivign without plates, so I put the plate of my old car on my new car, not knowing that they were expired. Well, I ended up getting pulled over only to find out that not only were my plates expired, but my license was suspended as well. So they issued me three more tickets, now four total and my car that I just bought got impounded. Now, I don't have the money to get my car out or fixed and I have court on the 25th of this month and if I can't pay these tickets, possibly facing jail time. This is what scares me the most. I have never been to jail, never been in trouble, always done good in school adn have always been a good person. I help out everyone I can and always try to be there for anyone I can as much as I can, so why do all these bad things keep happening to me? I'm afraid I'm going to lose everything once again. It seems like everything I eve care for and everything I work for always gets ripped away from me and it has really taken a toll on me. I spend my nights now crying myself to sleep at night worrying about what is going to happen to me. All I want is the money to get my car adn get it fixed and get everything paid off so I can get my license back and start getting my life back on track. I only work 16 hours a week though since I have no vehicle and am barely surviving as it is. The only good thing I have going for me right now is my school, which I am doing well in, I am going for Criminal Justice. My life has just been so rough, but I want to make something out of it. I don't want to keep living like this and having to go through these problems continuesly. I always try to do my best to always come out on top and do my best, but I keep getting knocked down and I don't know how much more strength I got left. I need guidance, I need help. I am not the kind of person that ever asks for help, I always take care of myself, but obviously that isn't working so I am begging you somebody, anybody please show me the way. What else am I suppose to do? I just want my life back, that's all I want.
