About jenni3

My name is Jennifer.  I am 28yrs old.  I have 2 children, one is 6yrs old, and one is 1yrs old.  When I was pregnant with my youngest, i had acid reflex, which caused me to throw up 10 times a day for 9 months straight.  This caused a lot of dental issues. I do have dental coverage because, my husband is active duty military but, i was layed off from my job, and we cant afford to pay the extra cost.  I am in so much pain everyday,  i have a really hard time eating and drinking anything.  I feel people look at me differently.  I know if I could get this work done it will change so much in my life.  I will feel complete, i want hurt anymore and my kids can be proud of how their mom looks.  I also feel it would make it easier to get a job if i had a great smile........please help me

I am a 40 year old widowed mother of a fabulous son (age 15) who is my whole world. Since Thanksgiving Day 2005, I have buried someone I love every two years....11/24/05-my husband died of a premature heartattack, now believed to be brought on by the diabetic drug Avandia; 09/07/07- I lost a baby~Kapena William Garcia-stillborn with triple nuchal chord and true knot; and 08/02/09, my mother died at age 66, of late stage dementia~

I am now facing a layoff from my State Job; I'm behind on my bills and I take prozac for depression and oxycodone for a lower back injury I sustained in 2005.  I keep going because I have to live for my son.....he is my world; I know God loves me and is there....He always provides even when things seem bleekest...I have worked in law enforcement since being in the Navy (1988) and now at age 40, I'm facing having to go back to school and switching career paths...I'm enrolled in school for the Spring 2010 semester and I'm going to try to get a Nursing Degree.

I have also survived an abuse relationship (my sons biological father) and work part-time as a Domestic Violence Advocate....maybe God is leading me in that direction~they say ALL things happen for a reason....and that God will not give you anything you cannot handle....hmmm, I wish He didn't trust me so much, but I am thankful for the blessings I do have~

I'm not sure what I need, I do need help with my debt; I do need help with my depression.....but, I'd like to be here (or there) for those that are worse off than me.....I know there are people suffering far more than me and if I can do anything to help you....please let me know  "NEVER LOOK DOWN ON ANYONE....UNLESS YOU ARE HELPING THEM UP"

I am writing this on behalf of my dear friend, and her fiancee.  They have 3 beautiful children, and due to a recent layoff they are about to lose their home.  I wish i had the ability to help them, but unfortunately i am just getting by myself.  I have found them a place to rent that they can move into as soon as they get up the security deposit, but it is $960 and they just dont have it.  They are waiting on a long & tedious unemployment process, and in the meantime i fear they will end up on the street.  Their unemployment benefit amount will let them pay the rent & have a bit left over, if they can just get their foot in the door so to speak.

I don't know where to start.  My situation is so complex.   I was laid off over a year ago and have literally been unemployable because my work was directly related to the housing market.  I got married a month after my layoff, and my husband and I have 5 children between us.  I ended up losing my house to foreclosure in July.  My husband works so hard, works full-time then gives piano and guitar lessons at night.  The best job I could find was at a pizza place.  I even teach the kids at a church to earn a few extra bucks.  I decided to go to college so that I could get a degree in nursing.  I am in my first semester and managed to use the last of my unemployment payments to enroll.  I applied for and was awarded a scholarship for the upcoming school year, so I am very thankful for that.  Yet, I still need money for school books for the new term in January.  That will probably be around $500-$600.  We just can't make ends meet even with the extra things we do.  We keep selling stuff on Ebay and Craigslist, but we've run out of things that bring money.  We are behind on many of our bills.  Christmas is coming up and I have no idea how we will buy presents for the kids.  Our transmission went out on our mini-van and it will cost between $1500-$1800 to repair.  We don't have that money, no idea how we will get it.  Unfortunately we don't quailify for any cash assistance because before taxes and child support it looks like my husband makes decent money.  However after taxes and child support he only brings home between $200 - $400 weekly (he is commissioned).  I guess I am  hoping that someone can help us out in some way.  I don't like asking for hand-outs.  I keep looking for a better job that will still allow me to go to college, but I am not having any luck.  I really don't know what I'm looking for on here.  I don't want anyone to hand me money.  But maybe someone would be willing to buy my college books for me.  Or maybe someone is a mechanic and would be willing to provide the transmission and to fix our van.  Or maybe someone needs some part-time clerical or labor work and would be willing to hire me.  Or maybe someone would just be willing to pray for us.
