Help??

I am new to this site. I am a disabled war veteran that is trying to start a business that I will be able to handle. I am wanting to start a ranch/farm and my wife wants to start a Bed and Breakfast. The government did not do much to prepare me for life after my disability so I am not financially secure enough to start this venture on my own. I desperately need help so anyone who can and is willing to offer advice and/or help, I would greatly appreciate it.

Woman Who Drew The Line

You've probably never heard of Dr. June McCarroll, but she's truly a woman who left her mark on the world. Born in Nebraska, she was a general practitioner who lived in California. Interestingly enough, her claim to fame lies outside the world of medicine. An accident was the trigger that got her thinking about making our highways safer. Her car was sideswiped, and she determined to do something about cars that crowded others off the road.

Driving on a road that bulged down its center, Dr. McCarroll noticed that the bulge helped to keep motorists on their own side of the road. That gave her an idea. She tried persuading the town council to "paint a line down the middle of the road" to set an example and "lead the nation in public safety."

She got the typical bureaucratic response. However, she was someone who would not take no for an answer. So she took her idea to the local women's club. The vote was unanimous in support of the project. Still, she continued to face bureaucratic stubbornness for seven long years before her idea was implemented.

In 1924 the California Highway Commission agreed to experiment with a centerline on two sections of Route 99. Accidents on both test stretches diminished dramatically, and soon the entire state boasted McCarroll lines on its highways. Most of the world has since followed suit. Message: When you conceive an idea in which you fervently believe, go after that idea, especially if people you respect believe it's a good one.

About godineedhelp

This is a very last resort. I am in debt and feel horrible about it. I am on foodstamps and living at home again as a grown woman. The situation is very embarrassing for me. I would be eternally grateful and give back to those in need once I am on my feet again. I have been unemployed for almost a year now without unemployment benefits because I worked for a non-profit previously and was ineligible for receiving unemployment. I am asking God for help everyday and actively looking for work every day. I have had a few interviews but nothing solidifies. If anyone could help me, even a dollar helps, even a penny helps at this point in my life. Thank you.

Hello, I'm looking for any advice on how to find funding to help continue the process of getting my life saving invention out there for the world to have access to. In an emergency situation i came up with an idea that saved the lives of my animals and have since done alot of research footwork, via internet, and having invent help do a product search. at this time as far as i know there is nothing on the market that even comes close. I have a portfolio and product research portfolio finished , and am having a prototype created. I have run out of funds and don't have the credit for a loan, I have been out of work until recently for over six years due to a major on the job injury which required multiple surgeries and lot's of recovery time, hence the bad credit and plenty of time to come up with ideas. I love animals and truly believe in my idea as i have personally proved that it works and there is a definate need for it, I want to help others and the only thing standing in my way is the funds to fnish what i have started.   Heather

About desperate & poor

I am a 53 year old woman with diabetes, bi-polar disorder and osteoarthritis in need of a helping hand.  I am in a 10 marriage that is an unhappy one and I want a divorce.  I have been trying for over 2 years to get disability.  I need glasses and dentures.  Have no car.  My home is a 1987 singlewide mobile home in need of repairs. I have a student loan form the early 1990's that I can pay.   I worked my whole life with nothing to show for it because of bad choices and have no one to blame but myself.  I am a good person, no drugs or alcohol, never in trouble with the law.

I can send proof of all the above statements if needed.  I just need a fresh start.  Anything and everything even advice will be appreciated.

I am a disabled mom of 2 who lives in Georgia.  Because of my health a job in a company is impossible.  I am looking for a grant for either disabled/women so that I can get my photo business going strong.  I already do photos as a really strong hobby but have never charged others for my hobby.  Lately I have been doing senior photos for kids at my childrens school that are out of the norm (which everyone has the same shots done by the schools photographer of choice).  I also have been doing some stuff for scrapbooks as well.  I really have alot of medical bills and a school loan that being on a regular monthly income of less than $700 for 3 people has been hard to keep up a loan with the way things are going with the economy now is almost impossible for me.  If you know of any grants or even in the direction to go please let me know.

Pay it Forward Please

Hi,

My name is Peggy.  I am divorced, and just turned 60 in June.  The last few years have been very hard.  I was laid off work after 17 years, and have been working for a temporary service since 2005.  I do not have any transportation.  I had bought a truck last December, but it was repossessed in May.  I got sick and was off work for a few days, and with high summer utility bills and no sick pay, it didn't take long for me to get behind.

Now I am taking the bus back and forth to work.  I don't mind riding the bus, but after I get off the bus, I have to walk another mile to work.  I know that doesn't seem very far, but when you are 60 and it is 115 degrees outside, it takes a toll on you.

I have been looking at cars on Craigslist, and I can get an old clunker for about 600.00.  My problem is, that I live paycheck to paycheck, and can't save sny month towards a car.  I just found out this job will end in about a month, and I am trying to get transportation so I can go out and find another job.  The buses in Phoenix aren't the best mode of transporation.

If anyone could help me, I promise I would pay if forward, and help someone else in return.  I  have always tried to help others whenever I could, and even now I try to help others who are worse off than I am.

If you have an old car that doesn't need to much work done to it, that would be great too.  I would try to make payments to you if you want.  I am just feeling really depressed right now, and need a little help.

If you can't help me, I understand and thank you for reading this. Maybe you can pray for me that things will work out.  I know God won't desert me, so I'll leave things in his hands.

 

Thank you

Peggy
