About grandmaturtles

I live on a disability through my employer and I have made it some way with paying my rent, utilities and so on and so forth.  I admit I have to frequent some food banks to make ends meet, but for the most part, I can get by.    In my spare time ( and I have lots of that...), I've been helping other newly dx'd people who have the same cancer as I do, since I'm not able to return back to work, I thought this was a goodthing for me to do as giving back, or paying it forward, if you will.  I have also gone to Lansing and around the country to speak with other foundations about the need  for free screnings( cancer) for all no matter what your income is or what your insurance allows, to many folks are losing thier battle with this disease and we all need to make or find a cure soonso no one else has to lose a loved one from this disease.

I have a friend who has taken abanded animals in and now, she neds help with food for these little guys, is there a program in Wayne county, Michiigan that can help?  I heard of this before, but not quite sure where to start looking  any ideas?

My name is Nell.  I'm a 21 year old future nurse of America.  I had a job that allowed me to save a little and got news that my cousin was having a baby.  I went a little over board and before I knew it the down payment I had saved for a car was gone.  I then lost my job, found another one but it paid much less.  I saved $700 and took a summer class to be a nurse assistant.  Now I can't pay for my certification test because I'm back in school full time and my job can't accomodate my schedule.  I have so much debt and I'm trying to believe that I don't have to turn to the adult entertainment side of the world to make a living.  I'm only in about $5000 worth of debt but I can't even afford to feed myself.  I'm not asking for anyone to pay my bills, I'm just asking for a little help to make it through to where I want to be.  I know most people would say why not just get on welfare?  Well I tried that and in my city you sit in a lobby from 7am-2:30pm just to be told that you don't qualify because you don't work enough... backwards right?

Comment: chris , This page might have...

Note: This aidpage was started as a comment on "need a car for handicapped parents"

chris , This page might have something your parents can use. Plus , if they are disabled and are on Medicaid or Medicare , they are entitled to free transportation to medical appointments. The social securtiy office should help them with this. soulight
