Struggling to get school supplies and clothing

My family became homeless about 3 weeks ago. Just trying to find a place for our family to stay each night has become a nightmare. Now my 12 yr old son will be starting school in a week and a half and I am unable to buy any school supplies, clothing, shoes, and he needs new glasses. Please any help would be greatly appriciated.

please help my children

I really need help,i can barely put food on the table.Most days we only have enough to let the kids eat,we go without basic household things all the time.Its really hard to have to use bar soap for dishes,our hair just about everything.Now to make things even worse school is about to start and i cant afford to buy anything no clothes which is already a problem my 12 year old daughter has only 2 pair of shorts that fit her now.My 16 year old has no shorts at all,hes been wearing 3 pair of pants thats all he has that fit him and my 6 year old son has also grown out of everything.I feel horrible but all of our income goes right to bills and we arent even caught up on the billls.I dont have any school supplies either ,im so depressed and dont know what to do,if theres anyone who can help with anything it would be such a blessing.I pray God leads someone who can help to my family.Thanks for reading and God bless.

I am the mother of two teenage boys in Maysville, Ky.  I was laid-off February 18, 2009.  Since the lay off we had to move into a house that I could afford on unemployment.  I found out last week that I have only two checks left and I may not qualify to get an extension.  I have had a few interviews but no call backs and I am terrified.  How am I to pay for a place to live and utilities.  School will be starting back soon and I have no money for supplies and new clothes, my oldest is wearing shoes with holes in them; with the unemployment it is not enough to pay the bills I have...I don't know what to do.  If anyone can help at all I would be most grateful.

Hello, I am a mother of 2 teenage boys. I am in desperate need of school clothes for them this year. They have outgrown just about everything. My oldest only has about 4 shirts and a couple of pairs of pants that he can still wear. My youngest has some of the hand me downs from the other son.

 Bills have just stompped us and I can not afford to get them anything for school. With the power outages here we lost all the food in our freezer, went out and replaced some only to have the power go out again 4 days later. That and gas has killed us. With all the extras and losses we have nothing to get them clothes with. If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated. About $400 would be enough, $200 each would get them some shirts, pants, shoes, backpacks with school supplies. If anyone could help with anything it would be so much appreciated.

medical assistance was cancelled..need help paying for sons prescriptions

Hello, i am a mother of 2 children ages 13 and 14.  My 13 year old son has a genetic disease known as LCHAD.  It is a disorder that doesn't allow the body to metabolize fats and sugars from his liver.

Many health problems are associated with this disease like heart problems, liver problems, failing kidneys, blindness, weak immune system and muscel deterioration. My son suffers from all the above.

Anyway, his MA was cancelled for whatever reason and now I am having problems paying for all of his 13 different medications.  Some are inexpensive but some are quite spendy like one of them which is called "MCT" oil which goes for over $300 a bottle. Most average between $25 and $100 per prescription.

I do work but after I pay the necessities it makes it hard to buy his medications.

I could also use help getting my kids some decent school clothes which I haven't had the money to do yet.

Please help me if you can...

Selling Shirley Temple photo Images on CD to help pay for school clothes for Granddaughter

I am looking for people to buy my Shirley Temple CD,with over 500 photo images so that I can buy school clothes and shoes, for my Granddaughter. My CD costs $10.00 US dollars,with FREE SHIPPING! You can pay me by paypal,or US postal money order. I do not accept personal,or cashier checks,because I have no way to cash them. My daughter is disabled and recieves a government check each month. But they give nothing for my granddaughter and by the time her mother is paying all her bills,than there is no money left for my granddaughter. Her Uncle sent her a few things,but she needs much more to get through the school year. I wish I could help,but I am unable to because of all the bills I have to pay. I am not begging for money,all I'm asking is for people to buy the CD. So you'll actually recieve a Shirley Temple CD with over 500 pics,for your money. If interested,please contact me at wisconsingirl1955@yahoo.com. No scammers please,I can spot you a mile away. If you do not feel that this would be a safe way,you may also purchase a CD on eBay, amberandwillysgrandma
Thank you in advance for your help.

I NEED HELP TO PAY OFF MY DEBTORS AND TO BUY A NEW CAR

I am a single mother of two boys-ages 3 and 4.  I am currently working as a cena in a nursing home.  My wages do not allow me to pay my rent of $585, and keep the lights on too.  My fiance lost his job do to shortage of work, and we are behind in our rent.  Since we have been such good renters for two years, our landlord has been patient with us up until this point.  We just got custody of my fiance's 10 year old daughter in January of this year because her mother is a meth addict.  We have no where to go if we are evicted, and we are so ashamed and disgusted that we cannot even provide for our own children.  I want to go to school to become an LPN but cannot afford to go part-time at work to attend classes.  My fiance has been looking for work every day that I don't work, but it seems that there is nobody hiring for a certified diesel mechanic.  And just today the brakes went out on our car.  We work so hard, and it seems like as soon as we take one step forward, we fall two steps back.  If we had some financial help to pay off some of our past debts, and catch up on rent and other bills, it could buy us some time until my fiance can find a job.  I can't do it all by myself.  Where is the help out there?
