I’m a single mom of 3 children I have a full time job but struggle to make ends meet was evicted and locked out of my house after falling behind on rent when took time of work when kids were sick. I’m alone in the state with no family, lived here for a year to better the life’s of my children and self. I’m desperate and don’t know what to do, I couldn’t get our clothes or anything because I had to work so I could have a check. It’s winter we don’t have any personal things and when I pick up my kids today from school, I have no where to take them. I have recently been in contact from a mother figure I had when I was younger who lives an hour away and offered to keep the kids this weekend so I could at least work but it can’t be a for long as she has a small place and a full house already. Feeling lost

Hi my name is penny. I am a mother to 4 beautiful and truly wonderful well behaved children. My son is 13 and I have 3 girls 11,10, and 18 months old. I’m posting because I simply cannot get through this rough stage in my life alone. I need help. I have been in an abusive relationship for quite a while, and when I finally had the courage to get out, my children and I were left with nothing.

Hi my name is penny. I am a mother to 4 beautiful and truly wonderful well behaved children. My son is 13 and I have 3 girls 11,10, and 18 months old. I’m posting because I simply cannot get through this rough stage in my life alone. I need help. I have been in an abusive relationship for quite a while, and when I finally had the courage to get out, my children and I were left with nothing. I am trying so hard find employment, and it’s not easy. My husband completely demolished 2 cars, leaving me with the second car unimaginably broken and not drive able. The first car was driven into a holler. This second car I had to trade my wedding ring for, and although it was a really bad clunker and it smelled like gas so bad I guess from the catylitic converter being clogged, and he busted 2 windows out and busted the mirrors off... all of them, , it still drove.. think God is teaching me something, and I have humbled myself. I have humbled myself to post this. I am asking for someone with knowledge of vehicles to possibly help me? The water pump is out, the alternator is tore off. And like I said the catylitic converter is clogged, and the windows are gone. The car is unreliable and certainly not safe. I have 4 children and I need a car. Even if someone can help me fix it. This has all landed right in the middle of the holiday season: causing severe depression. To whoever is reading this THANK YOU. From me and my children THANK YOU. Just for taking the time to read this. Maybe if you can’t help maybe you know someone who can.

Due to my injuries from my accident along with other health problems I am only able to work part time. I do not have any family in this area and have no one who can help me. I have been doing side jobs when I can such as cleaning houses or babysitting but this has been difficult due to my health/injuries. I am not one who asks for help but I feel I have come to a dead end and am at a loss. I have also been looking for an easier full time job that would be more suitable for me and my health issues. I have tried to apply for temporary disability but was denied due to my age and education. I just honestly don't know what else to do. Any help would be so greatly appreciated! Thank you so much!

I currently make $2400 per month and I lost $1100 in child support. Our bills before food are $2800 and I am at a loss as what to do next. Please know I am educated and frugal. I am doing my best but I really need some help and have no family to call. Thank you.

I'm a 47 year disabled who recently found out he had a 16 yr old daughter. It's the greatest gift I could have gotten. I unfortunately dont make much money and have a very unreliable vehicle. My credit isnt good (not that I could afford a payment) my family has very little and I have few friends. I need a few thousand dollars to fly to PA from Arkansas round trip it's close to 800 and need a place to stay while I'm there. This is my last resort I know I'm not sick or had a catastrophic event.

I usually volunteer so it is really difficult to be on the asking side of this, but I'll try. I have spent several years building a better stable life in Hot springs. Almost 2 years ago, I moved to Fort Smith. I struggled but started to get ahead. About 3 months ago my apartment told me they were selling building and it was to be tore down for remodel.

I usually volunteer so it is really difficult to be on the asking side of this, but I'll try. I have spent several years building a better stable life in Hot springs. Almost 2 years ago, I moved to Fort Smith. I struggled but started to get ahead. About 3 months ago my apartment told me they were selling building and it was to be tore down for remodel. We were trying to work long hours at a factory here in town, and maintain a little community interaction, so we didn't have enough time to even pack all of basic life, let alone furniture. They had given us 30 day notice, but part of that was under different pretenses due to an verbal agreement that we could stay for the same rent, but we pay our own bills. It was about a 200 increase we were going settle for. Long story short we moved on the spot, all we could move in 1 day, we had no family to help, which somehow all of my stuff was left behind by accident, with every bit of furniture and household stuff. All I had worked for, was demolished with that building. We are still trying to aquire living items, but we are now in a bigger spot. My boyfriend and I worked the same job. He recently was laid off and I was forced out of a job after a man touched me inappropriately at work and I filed a sexual harrassment charge on him at hr. I was unfairly pushed out, although plant manager, several supervisors and another were fired after he investigation. I have a petition for eeoc to hear my case. But we paid all our money for first and last month on new place, a deposit on the water, and other expenses. My boyfriend gets 300 for unemployment and that is all. We have the deposit on electric, the water and electric bill, rent, car payment ( I am $400, 3 payments from completely paying it off from near $5000), registration/tags are expired tomorrow, my insurance on my car is a couple of days past due, and I have already pawned all the stuff they will take. I have now been selling my clothes and shoes one by one. I'm not close to catching up. I have ad out to help clean in exchange for unused household items, which in turn have been giving some to people in my community. I have come into a lot of people just needing a little help. I am asking for help in any way, but also would love a pull behind trailer that would fit a few furniture items in, so I may go to surrounding city's and pick up unused furniture, such as beds, and deliver them to the household that need. If there is any way I can have a little assistance, I will bounce back and be strong for other's weakness. Thank you for taking the time to be on this site, and thank you for caring.

My family needs a miracle! We have ended up in difficult times due to him moving to a "better career" the company had an accident a few weeks in and he has been out of work for 2 months. We have both been trying to find work on the daily, I work on the weekends but it's not enough. Our car was repossessed and I managed to be able to get it out.

My family needs a miracle! We have ended up in difficult times due to him moving to a "better career" the company had an accident a few weeks in and he has been out of work for 2 months. We have both been trying to find work on the daily, I work on the weekends but it's not enough. Our car was repossessed and I managed to be able to get it out. Every single bill is behind and due for shut off Friday. Rent is 2 months behind and we are ANY day from a 3 day eviction notice. So I picked up some freelance work, the check I received and after request of physically paying someone else for their services too with the company owner. This check was enough to save my family. We ordered a uhaul and have been packing our things since Saturday so we can move somewhere where we can provide for our children and thrive as a family. This morning I got up at 3am to drive to the specific bank in Nashville TN because I didn't want to pay someone else before the check cleared. Its fraudulent, every bit of hope we had for the situation is gone. I used the money I earned this weekend 80$ for gas and am now stuck in Nashville with my husband in a really bad situation. We are going to end up on the streets with absolutely nothing and no way out. The transitional living facility is full. We need to be able to pack our things and move to Wisconsin by Friday or all is lost. No electric, no water and soon no home. I've taken every opportunity to earn what I can to care for my family. We are lost, please help us get to a safe place.

Hello and if you are reading this... I just want to say thanks for even considering donating to this cause. I will give you a little background first, briefly...

Hello and if you are reading this... I just want to say thanks for even considering donating to this cause.

I will give you a little background first, briefly... I was raised by an extreme OCD, Bipolar, and has flight of thought constantly, Mom. Never did I have the typical childhood up bringing. I basically raised myself and watched my mom go through the legal amount of times you can be married in our home state. Just that statement alone should tell you I had no consistency and it was constant change.

My mother was a mother to 4 girls, mostly a single parent, the latter part of my upbringing. With this being noted.... I always thought to myself that my mom didnt really teach me much as a child, but I am mistaken. I learned what not to be to my kids and how not to act to my children. I learned to love your kids and show them this affection on a daily basis, unlike my household- it was to be understood. We never said, 'I love you."

Now..... I will say that I have had my moments and have sewn my wild oats after high school and then decided to get my life right and I finished college got married had kids.... But my mother has always been a constant battle. We never have gotten along, but I did want to respect her as she is my Mother. Even though I really had a rough child hood.... I have tried to be the better person because at the end of the day she did bring me into this world.

After I got married... My family hated the fact and was jealous that my husband bought me a house and let me stay at home with the kids, etc. So there was a lot of talk behind my back about how I had always been a screw up throughout my life. Even though I still tried to give my mom the benefit of the doubt to be a good person.... It always backfires on me.

Needless to say, my Mother has always tried to live her life through me and hates that I have bettered myself. With all of this... I have three beautiful children, one 13 year old, 4 year old, & 3 year old. I have over the years been constantly beat down and put under a microscope and scrutinized for every little wrong thing I do in my moms eyes....

I am 36 years old and 3 weeks ago she sent me the last of the texts before I flipped. I was already in a state of depression because of the situation with her.... I decided i was finished living.... My sister and husband standing in front of me ..... I turned up my bottle of 60 1mg xanax and started chewing.... I had had enough and as I type this I cry because someone out there reading this could never wrap their head around a mother being like this. I get it, I am a mother and could never do my kids as she has me.

So after my husband saves my life by making my sister call 911 and sticking his hand down my throat ... I dont recall much after that until I wake up in ICU 2 days later and had been intubated... Then the hospital sends me to the Mental health facility for a week....

Once I get out, I find out that my mom came and got my kids from my sisters house, went straight to my attorney and wrote him a check to get temporary guardianship of my kids... My mom hid my kids from my husband and wouldnt answer his calls. Needless to say... It is a huge mess... My oldest daughter has cut herself because she hates my moms mental torture she puts her through. She isnt allowing me to see my kids. I have wrote and spoke the governors office, I have called the DHS Child abuse hotline three times last week, and I have filed a grievance with the supreme court against the attorney for the conflict of interest as he represents me in an open case at the moment with my oldest daughter and her father in a custody battle. That case has been an ongoing and current open case at the moment. My mom works for DHS as a PA and removes kids from homes, so she thinks she has the right connections and can get whatever done she wants ..... My ex step dad is a cop... I am really fighting a HUGE ARMY because its a small town and they do what they want.

I have sought counsel, but the lawyer wants $5,000.00 to even start. My kids are really being put through torture and the hospital staff had to pull my 13 year old off of me because my mother sent her to the 3rd mental health facility in 2 months.... My kids only want me and this all would resolve... But I am fighting every angle to get them back....

I cry because I love my kids and hate the fact that the mother that raised me is now putting my kids through mental torture because she is wanting money... She wants every penny she can get and still lives off her mom at 56 years old.

My goal is 5 thousand but anything helps and goes towards my goal of getting my kids back.

God Bless and Thanks for your Time

I am a single mother of a 5yr old little girl and I am currently struggling more than usual paying my bills because of less hours at work and colder months.
