free money to help pay bills

I am 22 years old and I am struggling to put myself through school. I am hungry and desperate to pay my rent. I was working at a new restaurant that my family opened but they got angry when I said I wanted to go back to school this year to finish rather than taking a year off and so they refused to pay me for my time and then kicked me out. My then boyfriend had just broken up with me because I left town for a few months to help them.  I was forced to sleep at a neigbours house for days until my best friends parents came and got me. I cant tell them I cant pay my rent - they will be so disappointed. I just need some help until I start getting a couple of paychecks and then I will pay it back. I just found out that the room I am sleeping in is infested with bed bugs so my friend is coming over in a few days to help me clean it out. I am so scared and sad and I am so very desperate. I spent what little money I had to feed my cat because it is not fair to her - she can not feed herself. If someone could please help me I would be so eternally grateful - I am in dire need of prenatal vitamins as I believe I am pregnant but can not afford to buy a test nor take time off to go to a clinic.

I will pay the money back - then as soon as I am able I will pay the favour forward. Somebody please help me - I am so scared and alone.

Hello my name is Nichole and I am a 20 year old single mother of one. I am attending school for Nursing. Who ever said that being a single mother was a piece of cake told the biggest lie ever. Since I had my son at the rare age of 17 I had to grow up alot quicker. I told my self that when I had this baby that I wasnt going to allow him to feel the struggles of the world as i did. Everyday i just feel like im working and working to move forward and do great things but in reality im bing pushed 3 steps back. My sons father alothough he's older than me has the mentality of a kid and he is no where near ready to be the major influence my son needs around him. So once again there's another person who thinks im strong enough to do it on my own. I put alot of peoples worries on my back but in return i always am the one who gets second guessed or missed out on. I have been praying to God and asking him to make a better situation money wise for me and my baby. I am also working but the money i make is always going on bills, clothes, food, etc. If i had the proper transportation it would make this plate of mines that is oh so full a little lighter. I would be able to pick up extra days at work be able to get him to my sisters house while im in school,just everything would be so much easier. But I can never save a piece of money because every piece of money i get is spent before I can spin in a circle and say my name!! If anyone knows how i can find help please let me know. Im in Columbus Ohio :) just a mother venting....be blessed!

Hi shelly,

Contact local social services for additional assistance.  I suspect you will qualify for various programs in your situation.  You are doing the right thing by seeking help.  Also consider local churches for assistance.  Take care and God Bless!

Please tell me what you did I am currently in a very badposition. Amy

Hello

I wish I knew of assistance for you in Vietnam. Please ask around and see if there is help for you and your family. And stick around it will hurt your family so much more if you kill yourself. So do not do it stay here on earth with your family...

 in response to thongno...   please don't kill your self, I feel like that too sometimes but one needs to see our glass 1/2 full, instead of empty. You have a wige, and a blessing coming. Do what i did, ran to social services, drop your pride and ask for help-aid-cash-madical- and Ebt  for food, then cut all debt-hell w creditors, focus on surviving just a room for rent water and power, gas and important needs-not wants, God will help. Look down and not up, many of us are in worst situation.  The debt can wait but your baby's daddy is priceless- everychild comes with a blessing!

Hello and I am sorry for what happened. I have had monies stolen so I know the feeling. I do telemarketing too but not right now. If you go to this link and look for my remarks to someone else about jobs and rent etc I am hoping you may get some help

 http://how-are-you-today.aidpage.com/about.htm?cid=383146#comment383146

Good luck and hang in there about seeing your son. It may not happen over night but I am sure with time it will happen again. Remember to take it one day at a time as that is all we can deal with.

Contact your local police department about bounced checks as it is illegal. 

Call 211 and ask them for any assistance in this matter and by the way what city and state are you living in now??

Good luck

I am single mother of two children I need money to help catch up my bills I am currently unemployed.

 in response to foxy1012006...   

Utility companies do offer a payment plan and in most cases where a child is involved they will work with you.

Otherwise the only other suggestion is to contact the county and see if you qualify for AFDC.

If the situation is bad enough you may lose your kids' over it,I'd think family may step in,but I don't know your situation.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help

If you have VD, go to your nearest health dept ASAP.

If you need assistance in finding help, then google the CDC (center for disease control). There should be able to direct you for help.

Have you put your resume's on Monster, Ladders, and I have listings for the job market through out the states that may be beneficial, you can find my listing at http://Schmidty.Aidpage.com.

Good Luck and God Bless

Got hurt on the job workmans comp denied benefits,know i dont know what me and my family are going to do!

i need help with paying my electric i have a 2 yr old boy who is turning three next month and a 2 month old daughter,im behid on my electric and rent can someone help me i dont want to lose  my kids

I am behind on rent and dont know were to look. I have a child that is 6 nd a car that loves to break down. I work 45 minutes from home and it is getting hard for me to get my rent caught up. If you know something please o please let me know

So, I am not absolutely certain if anyone reads this, but I desperately need to find a way to make some extra cash.  I am only able to work around 15-20 hours a week and am in serious debt, close to $50,000 all said and done.  Anybody know of any way I can quickly (and legally) make some quick cash?  Or is anyone in the Moberly, MO area need a very competent and learned computer technician for any work.  I can build a computer from parts and am usually able to fix broken ones depending on the issue.  I need some extra work badly, or I might lose my apartment.  Any advice would be helpful, I have sent my resume out so many times I have lost count.

i am a footballer who want some one to help me and aslo to manage me

Welp, just overdrafted my account by $500, new total- $719, to keep the family car from being reposessed. Oh, and a $900 rent is due on the first.

 

I have $80k worth of student loans and credit card debit

I have no real job to speak of, besides a 5hr per wk minimum wage job and a $160 per wk part time gig. The part-time gig is hell on earth some days. But guess what! The only new job that I've been able to find is also at that company! Ha! Moving up the ranks in hell???

I'm living w/ my mom, so we're in the same boat. 

I don't talk to my dad, for ever since he cheated on my mom, got a drastically lower child support payment on me b/c he knew the judge, had to basically be forced to co-sign a loan for college that he should be paying for and that I haven't been able to pay on said loan.... yeah, I forget I have a dad most of the time. 

 My uncle, who was (is???) an alcholic/ drug addict decided that when he was relesed from the state penatentary that he wanted to be close to his sister, my mom, a few weeks ago, and came to our city to live. Ah, we put him in a hotel for two weeks at a discount rate, feed, clothe, helped him on job searchs ...etc. He throws a hissy fit (proably alc or drug induced) while she's taking him to fill out job applications and screams at my mom. He leaves HURTFUL messages on her voicemail with the phone SHE gave him, on our family plan. Then he runs off in the night to live with his son and 3 grandchildren 2 hours away. WHY DIDN'T HE JUST GO THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE?!?! 

 I have no friends near me, b/c all the high school ones have babies, are crazy, or just not who I want to be around. The college ones live far away in the same state I went to college in. 

 I'm pretty sure I have a VD, but can't go to a gyno, b/c HEY I don't have insurance nor any money. 

 The ONLY good thing in my life is God, my suffering mom, and the occasional laugh I get from surfing the internet.

 

Please pray for me.  I'm pretty sure the devil has me on his suicide watch, but I won't let him win. 

If you dont mind me asking, what state do you live in?  I am going through the same thing with my senior daughter. I thought only the state I live in makes us parents pay book rentals...maybe I was wrong.

My family recently moved so we could find a job, and now we are in worse shape than we were before.  I have two children, no job and my power will be shut off tomorrow. I have asked God for some strength, just so I can get through this.  I am also taking care of my sister's child and my brother's child. Now I have four children, and no hope of keeping my power on. I have talked to power company and they are no help. I just need two days, and I will have the money, but power company does not care.  I believe with all my heart that God will give me those two days.  I need everybody to pray for my family.  Thank you

 in response to Mother doing her best...   

I am a mother of 4 wonderful kids.  They are also excellent musicians!  We need help with instrument costs and repairs, lessons, recording fees, and other miscellaneous expenses.  I want to give them the best opportunities, but it's hard for me to make ends meet.  Thank you for reading this!

Mother of 2 and trying to keep my head above water. Any cash donation would be great help. I do have a job but could really use the extra help.

hi my name is marie i am hard of hearing and ineed money to get food and pay my bill  and i have 2 kid,s but they do not live with me but i need alot of hing fo my self and my kid,s   si i  need helpthank u ans i an an singel mother

I am so sorry to hear about your mom, that breaks my heart. Unfortunately I have no money and am using food pantry to survive myself with my fourteen year old daughter. I have child support and I am out of work myself but I am going to school via grants and loans. I urge you to go to your local community college, or better yet four year college (find out about residence at the school too, and work study) and speak with financial aid representative, if you do not get enough of a result write a letter to head of the financial aid department and plead your case. Keep your grades up and you qualify for more. I made the Deans List at 48! So I qualified for additional grant from the school. I wish you the best.

Love to you!

Hello

What city and state are you in?? Have you tried calling 211 to see what resources there are for you??

 in response to Depressed In MD...   hi,iam exactly in the same boat as you,i often think about ending life but i have got 2 gorgeous daughters iam unable to do this, i have tried getting a loan from hundreds of companies but all declined,iam very very very depressed and sad, there is no1 out there for help.god bless u i will pray for you.

Hello,

I don't know what to start but I was curious if there is angel out there to find a heart to help me out just a little? I am a full time hard working man and have never asked anyone for help financially until now.

Recently, my car just broke down and I don't have the money to fix it. They say it is best to buy another car because the engine need to be replaced. I have four children, one who is attending college right now as well. My wife has been unemployed for over two years and it is hard to find just a simple cashier job. All my income goes to paying the bills and barely made it through the month. 

Now that I have no car to commute to work, I rely on friend and family for help until I saved enough to buy a used car. My children are going to school this week and they will have to either walk or take the bus but with my tight budget, I can't even afford the fare. I am stressing out and worrying that I may not be able to raise my children the way a blue collar worker should. I don't want to end up living in the street just to make end's meet. 

Would it be a God out there who is willing to lend me 3500 so that I can find a used car so we have a car to commute to work and take the kids to school? I don't asked much but just to see if there is ONE kind person out there who is not having financially difficulty helping me out for now? If you can help me out, I am willing to travel to your city to clean or do anything to earn that money. I have never steal, do drug, or drink and I believe that there is one God out there who will find to decency to look after me and my family.

Thank you,

 

Eddy

 

I don't know what this page is or if it can really help me. I couldn't sleep tonight and in a moment of frustration I googled " I need money" and this page came up. I'm not sure if I belong here. I am not widowed, or divorced. No one has died. I have 5 beautiful children and I live in a nice home. I am married to a wonderful man who has worked very hard for years to provide for me and our children. He is a residential contractor that has worked for years on referrals. He is very talented. In the past few years he has suffered from a herniated disc that needs surgery. We can't afford it of course, but he still worked while taking pain medication. In recent months, work has dried up. He is not working now except for odd jobs, selling tools and stuff and taking loans from different people to pay our bills. I have knots in my stomach worrying about him, about his health, about his stress levels, about what we are going to do. I have complete trust in God that this will work out. I don't know what to do. I don't talk to my friends about this because my husband has pride. I was wishing we could start a business or buy property and rent it out for income (since he is a handyman). May God help me. I am afraid. 

 in response to getfreedental...   thank you , i have been looking on line but i cant really find anything . i dont have a financial offer that i know off, i dont really have too much suppor these days , and i try so hard to get jobs but most places wont hire unless you 18 or older. but thank you very much .

 in response to mbest813...   

Hi mbest813,

I am sorry to hear about your mother - it is tough when someone so close passes.  Have you considered pell grants?  If not, do so.  In addition, you may qualify for countless types of educational grants (free money).  Search the net and chat with a financial office at a local university.  I suspect you will be pleasently surprised.

Take care and God Bless!

 in response to Depressed In MD...

I think a lot of us are in this boat.  Divorce has made me and my kids suffer terribly.  I make a little, very little, too much to qualify for public assistance, but not enough to pay my bills.  I am emotionally exhausted and cry a lot.  Be careful because I have been offered a lot of scam money.  Pray!  thats all we can do because NOTHING is free.

Before the development of dialysis and transplantation in the 1950s and 60s, having permanent kidney failure, also called end-stage renal disease (ESRD), was a death sentence. While life-saving, these treatment methods are expensive, and few people can afford them without assistance.

In 1972, Congress passed legislation making people of any age with permanent kidney failure eligible for Medicare, a program that helps people age 65 or older and people with disabilities pay for medical care, usually up to 80 percent. The remaining 20 percent can still pose a significant financial burden on patients. Fortunately, other public and private resources can help. Anyone with permanent kidney failure who does not have adequate insurance coverage should seek the help of a certified or licensed social worker. Every dialysis and transplant center has a social worker who can help people with kidney failure locate and apply for financial assistance. Social workers who specialize in helping kidney patients are called nephrology social workers.

Patients can also enlist the assistance of the State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP). The SHIP is a national program that provides free counseling and assistance to Medicare beneficiaries on a wide range of Medicare and supplemental insurance matters. Patients can find a state program by visiting www.shipusa.org.

[Top]
Medicare

To qualify for Medicare on the basis of kidney failure, a person must

square require regular dialysis

or

square have had a Medicare-covered kidney transplant

and must

square have paid into Social Security through an employer—or be the child or spouse of someone who has

or

square have worked under the Railroad Retirement Board, or as a government employee—or be the child or spouse of someone who has

or

square already be receiving Social Security, Railroad Retirement, or Office of Personnel Management benefits.

The Original Medicare Plan has two parts: Part A is hospital insurance, and Part B is medical insurance. Part B covers most outpatient services, including kidney dialysis, doctors’ services, outpatient hospital services, and many other health services and supplies. While Part A has no premiums, most Part B services require premiums, deductibles, and coinsurance.

Some people who are not eligible for Medicare because they have not worked at a job that pays into Social Security may still be eligible to buy Medicare coverage by paying premiums for Part A.

Starting in the late 1990s, Medicare gave recipients the option to choose a plan managed by a private insurance company that functions like a health maintenance organization (HMO) or a preferred provider organization (PPO). These plans are called Medicare Advantage, or Part C, plans. In most areas of the United States, Medicare recipients with kidney failure are not eligible for the Medicare Advantage option, unless they participated in Medicare Advantage prior to kidney failure. However, a few programs, called Medicare Special Needs plans, offer coverage designed specifically for people with kidney failure. Patients should contact Medicare at 1–800–MEDICARE (1–800–633–4227) to learn about possible programs in their area.

In 2006, Medicare added Part D, prescription drug coverage. People with permanent kidney failure are eligible but not required to enroll in Part D. When enrolling in Part D, a person chooses from a list of available plans in that person’s region. People who have employer group health plans that include prescription coverage should ask their employer whether enrolling in Part D will have any negative impact on their medical coverage. Some private plans will drop anyone who elects a Part D plan. A patient’s existing prescription coverage with an employer group plan may be as good as or better than a Part D plan. Employers and unions that provide prescription drug coverage must notify Medicare enrollees each year about how their current coverage compares to Medicare’s basic prescription drug coverage. This information may come in a letter, in a notice from the group plan, or in a benefits handbook. People should use this information to help in deciding whether to join a Medicare drug plan. Beneficiaries should note that a penalty may apply if they don’t join a Part D plan when they are first eligible, don’t otherwise have prescription drug coverage, and then later decide to join a Medicare program. The amount of the penalty will depend on how long the beneficiary went without prescription drug coverage before joining a Part D plan.

A person may apply for Medicare when starting dialysis treatments. Medicare benefits then begin the third month after regular dialysis treatments begin. For example, if regular dialysis treatments begin in July, Medicare coverage would start on October 1. Coverage can begin earlier if a person takes self-care dialysis training for home hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis before the third month or has a transplant within the first 3 months.

For a person covered by a group health plan, Medicare is a secondary payer during a 30-month coordination period. The group health plan pays at its regular level for this period. Since Medicare is usually not available in the first 3 months, the group health plan is the only payer for health services. In the fourth month, Medicare begins to cover only that portion of health services that is not covered by the group health plan. Medicare then becomes the primary payer for health insurance claims at the end of the 30-month period.

A person may wish to wait to enroll in Parts A and B until the end of the 30-month coordination period if the group health plan will pay for all health care expenses. In doing so, the person will avoid paying the Part B premium.

Enrolling in Parts A and B could help pay a yearly deductible or coinsurance payment required by some group health plans.

A person can enroll in Medicare at a local Social Security office listed in the blue pages in the phone directory. The nationwide toll-free number for Social Security is 1–800–772–1213, and that number can be used to schedule an appointment at a local office. More information about local Social Security offices is also available online at www.ssa.gov. Often, the social worker at a hospital or dialysis center can guide applicants through the enrollment process.

[Top]
Private Insurance

Private insurance frequently pays for the entire cost of treatment. Or it may pay for the 20 percent Medicare doesn’t cover. Private insurance may also pay for prescription drugs. People with kidney failure should read their private health insurance policy carefully to make sure it covers kidney failure treatment. They should talk with their insurance agent or company benefits counselor if they have any questions about their benefits. People who do not have private insurance can work with a social worker, nurse, or doctor to locate and apply for other sources of financial aid. SHIPs may also be a good resource.

[Top]
State Disability and Employment Programs

Many state social services agencies will help with medical expenses. For people with kidney failure who want to work, many states have specific vocational rehabilitation programs to help people with disabilities train for and find a job. Local or regional offices of state government agencies are listed in the blue pages of the phone directory. Additionally, the New Freedom Initiative’s online resource for people with disabilities at www.disabilityinfo.gov has a search tool to locate state and local resources. A social worker at a hospital or dialysis center can also guide patients to community resources for vocational rehabilitation.

[Top]
Medicaid

Medicaid is a joint federal and state program that is primarily income based. The guidelines for the program vary by state. For people to receive Medicaid funds, the value of their assets and annual income must be below a certain level. Medicaid may pay for dialysis or transplantation if a person is not eligible for Medicare. In some states, Medicaid pays the 20 percent that Medicare doesn’t cover. It may also pay for some medicines. Applications for Medicaid can be obtained by contacting a local human services or social services department. A nephrology social worker can provide guidance on how to apply.

[Top]
State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP)

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has established the SCHIP to help children without health insurance. SCHIP provides health coverage for children whose families earn too much to qualify for Medicaid but too little to afford private health insurance. Consumers can obtain information about the program by calling 1–877–KIDS–NOW (1–877–543–7669) or by checking www.insurekidsnow.gov.

[Top]
U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Benefits

The VA can help pay for treatment or provide other benefits for veterans. Veterans should contact their local VA office for more information or call 1–800–827–1000 to reach the national office. The number for health care benefits at the VA is 1–877–222–8387. People who are retired from the military may also call the U.S. Department of Defense at 1–800–538–9552.

[Top]
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI)

These benefits from the Social Security Administration (SSA) help with the costs of daily living. To receive SSDI, a person must be unable to work and have earned the required number of work credits.

SSI is available to disabled children and adults with limited income and resources. People who get SSI usually qualify for food stamps and Medicaid, too. Eligibility for SSDI and SSI is determined by the SSA office. Applications can be completed by contacting Social Security at 1–800–772–1213 or by visiting a local Social Security office. More information about SSDI and SSI is available online at www.ssa.gov.

People who qualify for SSI may also be eligible for the Ticket to Work and Self-Sufficiency program. The SSA sponsors this program to help people with disabilities, including permanent kidney failure, to train for and find a job they can perform. Participants in the program receive a voucher that can be used to receive training or placement services at a state or federal employment agency. More information is available at www.yourtickettowork.com.

[Top]
Patient Assistance Programs (PAPs) from Prescription Drug Companies

Medicare Part B pays for erythropoietin to treat anemia in kidney failure and for immunosuppressants to prevent rejection of a transplanted kidney. But Part B only covers 80 percent of immunosuppressant medicine costs, which can be $2,000 a month. That means that a person who does not have additional prescription coverage will still owe $400 a month for these medicines. And other self-administered drugs may not be covered by Medicare. Also, patients should note that Medicare eligibility typically ends 36 months after a kidney transplant is received unless the patient is otherwise eligible for Medicare.

People who have trouble paying for all the medications their doctor prescribes may qualify for assistance from private programs. Most drug manufacturers have PAPs that give discounts to people who can show they can’t afford the cost of their prescribed medications. Nephrology social workers are well versed in assisting patients with the completion of these applications.

The Partnership for Prescription Assistance provides a website that directs patients, caregivers, and doctors to more than 275 public and private PAPs, including more than 150 programs offered by pharmaceutical companies. The website features an application wizard that helps a person determine which programs might be available. The web address is www.pparx.org. Medicare has also compiled information to help beneficiaries pay pharmaceutical expenses. Visit www.medicare.gov/bridging-the-gap.asp for more information or read Bridging the Coverage Gap at www.medicare.gov/publications.

NeedyMeds is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that helps people find appropriate PAPs. The NeedyMeds website provides a directory of PAPs that can be searched by a drug’s brand or generic name or by a program or company name. Applications for these programs are usually available online. The web address is www.NeedyMeds.org.

[Top]
Additional PAPs

The United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) offers a website called Transplant Living, which includes a section about financing a transplant. The web address is www.transplantliving.org/beforethetransplant/finance/finance.aspx. For more information about UNOS, see the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) booklet Treatment Methods for Kidney Failure: Kidney Transplantation.

Points to Remember

    * In 1972, Congress passed legislation making people of any age with permanent kidney failure eligible for Medicare.
    * People with kidney failure should read their private health insurance policy carefully to make sure it covers kidney failure treatment. They should talk with their insurance agent or company benefits counselor if they have any questions about their benefits.
    * Anyone with permanent kidney failure who does not have adequate insurance coverage should seek the help of a certified or licensed social worker or a State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP).

Hope through Research

The NIDDK’s Division of Kidney, Urologic, and Hematologic Diseases supports several programs and studies devoted to improving treatment for people with progressive kidney disease and permanent kidney failure, including people on hemodialysis.

    *

      The End-Stage Renal Disease Program promotes research to reduce medical problems from bone, blood, nervous system, metabolic, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, and endocrine abnormalities in kidney failure and to improve the effectiveness of dialysis and transplantation. The research focuses on reusing hemodialysis membranes and using alternative dialyzer sterilization methods; devising more efficient, biocompatible membranes; refining high-flux hemodialysis; and developing criteria for dialysis adequacy. The program also seeks to increase kidney graft and patient survival and to maximize quality of life.
    *

      The U.S. Renal Data System (USRDS) collects, analyzes, and distributes information about kidney failure in the United States. The USRDS is funded directly by the NIDDK in conjunction with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The USRDS publishes an Annual Data Report, which characterizes the total population of people with kidney failure; reports on incidence, prevalence, mortality rates, and trends over time; and develops data on the effects of various treatment modalities. The report, available at www.usrds.org, also helps identify problems and opportunities for more focused special research on kidney issues.

Participants in clinical trials can play a more active role in their own health care, gain access to new research treatments before they are widely available, and help others by contributing to medical research. For information about current studies, visit www.ClinicalTrials.gov.
