What's on your heart and mind today?

 in response to MagnoliaBlossom...   

Hi Magnolia, if you have $7 in your bank or paypal then please view my story of how I broke out of my struggle. Here's the link to my freedom that helped me save my house, get my kids back, bills paid and starting on saving for a car within a few days. This for me was a blessing in disguise and a dream come true which is why I came back to aidpage to share it with the likes of you.  To get more info you can click on my link below:

thanks to all for your words of comfort and advice

I just want to take the opportunity to thank all those who offered words of comfort and advice. I had to make a huge decision today and reluctantly let my children go into welfare. Unless you've been down that track, you have absolutely no idea how heartbreaking it is to say goodbye to your babies and know that you are left all alone. It was the most horrible moment in my entire life and I truly wanted to grab them and just jump off a bridge so that we wouldn't be apart from one another. My poor babies have been separated and we all cried for one another as we have never ever spent more than one night apart from each other- I so wish things could be different, I feel so alone and just want to be left alone on my own. The welfare are trying to locate a shelter for me and my newborn baby when he/she arrives and have managed to get my accomodation extended by another week due to hardship-the officer that collected my children went to the shops and bought me a bread,milk,eggs,fruit & vegies to get me by for now-so I am eternally grateful to her for her kind gesture. This will be my last post for the time being, at least until I can get my head around things..so many blessings to you all & I hope that no-one else has to suffer the pain that I have just experienced today. Take care.

Will you reach out your hand to me today?

Hi Aidpage contributors

I don't know how to ask for help as I am used to being the person that 'helps' people in need without a second thought.  I am a single mum with three young children aged 8,7 & 19mths and another bundle of joy due in 3wks time.  I am in a financial rut and on the verge of being evicted from our home on Friday 02 April.  My children and I have been without food in our cupboards for 5 days now and had our last meal yesterday in my local hospital.  I feel ashamed asking for help as I am not used to having to reach out, but if you can in anyway donate any lose change it would be so dearly appreciated.  I am so scared of having to live out of a cardboard box in a park and worst of all losing my children.  My children mean the world to me, and if it weren't for them i'd have given up long ago in my fight to survive.  There are many people worse off than me which is why I am afraid to ask for help, but with the advice and support of another Aidpage member I have decided to heed their advice and reach out for support.  If you can help out in anyway, you may click on the link to my paypal on my profile.  I apologize for being of inconvenience but hope that someone out there maybe able to help me and my children today.  Thank you for taking the time to view my call for help.

I am totally petrified as things spiral downhill for me- my poor brain is getting done in from trying to be strong and holding on to faith and hope to get me through this trying time! I so cannot wait to bash down the wall that hold is holding me back and stopping me from going forward and I promise that when I do break through and start climbing the stairs I will be back to help you too.

I WISH & HOPE THAT TODAY YOU & I BOTH WILL FIND THE ANSWERS TO OUR PRAYERS- THAT WE WILL GO FORWARD IN SMALL SOLID STEPS...I WISH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY MANY BLESSINGS TO ALL THAT READ THIS MESSAGE ♥

 in response to mambrake...   dear mambrake, hope reveals itself in the strangest of ways.  the best form of hope can be found in the words of knowing that there are people out in the real world who truly care about you and how you are feeling.  I too am going through a dark stage in my life-no thanks to that horrible word 'money' and being heavily pregnant and starving hasn't helped, but I found hope again here on Aidpage and it keeps me going for the time being.  There is a light at the end of the tunnel mambrake-you just have to reach out your hand and let others' help you in anyway they can, small amounts of support equal a huge deal in your life..take care

What's on your heart and mind today?

I couldn't believe that a stroll with my kiddies yesterday lead me to a Sunday Free Meal Community day.  I was approached by a lovely elderly woman who asked if we'd like to join as they had so much food to share.  I could have cried as we were so hungry and knowing how precious food is to myself and my children we savoured each bite of the fresh fruit and vegies that we were served (I hadn't eaten for four days living on water so that my children could still eat) my growing bubs who is now 3wks away from being born into this world also rolled contentedly in my tummy-it was like mana from heaven.  I couldn't thank the generous volunteers enough and was astounded to find there were a lot of single mums' like myself in the same situation. I truly can't wait to get back on my feet again-I still haven't got a single dime to my name and had to keep my older children home from school as I had nothing for their lunches-but we all smiled and felt nothing could bring us down after eating such a nutritious meal.  My destiny and long awaited dream of helping less fortunate people such as myself is going to come true soon, I can feel it & am looking forward to it.  Good things come to those that wait and I know that sooner or later I am going to break out of this dark tunnel then be on my way to helping people that are in need of a helping hand-that is my hearts' greatest desire and joy!

All is not lost

It's amazing how words of comfort can help you through the rough times.

You initially lose yourself in depression and frustration- sometimes even sorrow & then that tiny speck of life shines down upon your head just when you thought you could only succumb to darkness.

Sure, your problems haven't been solved, but on the inside deep down where it matters the most- your heart starts to beat softly again. 

On a personal note, I have a long journey ahead of me in terms of financial matters- I have absolutely no idea how I am going to get through it all-especially when my tummy is grumbling for food lol..but for now I have some 'soul food' to keep me going through the day.

"Dont' let the foreboding fog blanket your heart and mind in complete darkness...

Search for the light like it is your last hope for salvation- it is here waiting for you, I am here waiting for you, WE are here waiting for you....

Let me walk beside you and hold your hand through those times of triumph, happiness, joy and carry you through the clouded skies of despair, sorrow, loss and loneliness-together we will walk side by side again..."

 in response to Starshine...   wow! I thought I was beyond the crying stage, but now I am crying again because I am so grateful that there are wonderful people in this world.  Thank you Starshine- i'm beginning to think that the way for me to soldier on through everything is carry in my heart and mind that there are people who care.  At least that knowledge alone carries me another step forward.

Hi Tina, wow I think it's amazing that you are extending your experiences for others to help them through.  I only wish I could partake in these positions but I am located in Australia, so I have to say that citizens of the U.S are fortunate indeed to have such opportunities available.  Keep it up :)

About upside down pudding

Just when I think things' are looking up for my family, everything comes crashing down! I wish money didn't make the world go around!! I wanted to burst into tears today at my local shopping mall-I went to get some money out of my card knowing that I had just over $100 to last us for the next 7 days only to find a balance of $4!! I went to the bank as it turns out that a direct debit had been double taken and in order for me to get the payment reversed I have to open a dispute which could take up to 45 days!! You see, i'm 36 and half weeks pregnant with an 8yr,7yr and 19mth old and had to walk out of the bank swiftly before balling my eyes out in front of everyone! I don't have a job, my savings have been depleted from trying to 'tide' us over from week to week and right now I feel so down and out that I just want to finish myself off for good.  How much of a coward am I? my children are crying that they are hungry & I feel like an outright idiot trying to figure out what to do, as much as I love my children, being pregnant right now is a challenge of emotions and hormones and the frustration in knowing that I could be working to provide for my family.  Lessons are sometimes hard to learn, but it would be nice if there was a helping hand in dire times of need...
