Hi, My name is Tina and I posted for help finding home employment for christmas. I was looking over your homepage and want to tell you that I think it is really wonderful what you are doing. I do not know if you are over this site or not, but you seem to have the abiity to point people in the right direction. I have a question and please forgive me for bothering you if you are not over this website or if asking you is inappropriate. I have a daughter who has CP and was forced to quit my job of three years because she was removed from school. I have since been looking for home employment and need to find something FAST! I am a very dependable, hard working person, but I have already been scammed once through assemble at home work and really have no money to invest in anything that may have risk. I need something that I can make money quickly for christmas. Are you familar with anything that may work? I am willing to do anything as long as it is moral, legal and legitamate. Please let me know if you have any suggestions as I am DESPERATE! I really think this site is amazing but am very surprised at the lack of people willing to do something so simple to help. I posted a pledge where a person needs only sign a petition for a good cause and only received five pledges. Not to seem pesemistic but I am afraid you are fighting an uphill battle. Finding people willing to help is rare these days but keep your chin up! As long as their is one person willing to show kindness to another, then what you are doing is worth it! It only takes one kind heart to make a difference in someone's life and the lor will bless those who show that kindness! I pray you will suceed in your work. I REALLY appreciate you warning about posting photos of kids! I am sort of new to the internet and really did not think anything of this until reading your post. I am on my way to delete my photo now if you wouldn't mind telling me how. Idiot with PCs lol God bless you and I pray you succeed in your work to help others. Please know that I woud gladly donate if I was in the position to do so. I have no financial means but I do have some clothing that my chidren have outgrown that I will be happy to give if you know anyone who needs it. It is not fancy but warm and has been cared for. I offered it to a lady who posted needing clothing and for her children. I don't have much but I am not lacking on food in the cabinets and couldn't stand knowing her kids were hungry. I think she may have misunderstood me though. I wrote to her offering some boxed food and the clothing but she wrote me back with a link to freecycle and told me I could donate it there. I rewrote her telling her that I think she may have misunderstood and that I was giving it to her if needed but have heard nothing else from her. I pray she has found help. Anyway, I think you are an angel for doing what you are doing and hope you are blessed in your work to help others. Thank you and God bless, faithfulmommy

Hi, I just wanted to say thank you for signing up for my pledge. I wanted so much to do something for a cause this holiday season but due to my difficulties was unable to do anything financially. I know it isn't much but every kind act makes a world of difference. I am just so surprised that so few have taken interest in the pledges or aids on this page because this pledge is just such a simple way to show kindness without a dime or drop of material donation. I just really wanted to say thank you so much. I know you may not think you have done a lot but you have brightened my day just giving me hope that angels like you still walk among us. I was really beginning to wonder. Please let me know if I can ever assist you in any way or if you just need a friend. I can't help financially but can offer what I have. If you yourself are in need of anything I have to offer (see my aidpage), please feel free to contact me. God bless you and thank you so much for the kindness

I found this really neat website where you can help many wonderful causes with the click of a mouse. I am sort of new to this web thing so you may already be aware of it but thought I'd add it anyway. I have a little girl with Cerebral Palsey which makes it difficult for me to do as much hands on volunteering as I would like. We visit the nursing homes, send cards and make little gifts for others, but as far as volunteering onsite, I have found it hard in my situation. This is a great way to do something special and not even hae to leave your home.

It's called care2connect and it has petitions for an array of causes. Pick one, pick a few or make a day of it. Either way, your helping. It's also something great to do with your chidren. A wondefu way to spend time with them and teach them compassion, caring and kindness. My daughter and I are going to spend some time this evening working on some. It is the holiday season and we all can make a difference with the simple act of kindness, no matter how small and it is something we can all do. Thank U

Please, also see my homepage and see if you have any of the information I am searching for. I woud deeply appreciate it. God bless and happy holidays

Hi Megan, I appreciate you replying to my topic. I am so sorry to hear about your situation but I guess that doesn't help much. I wish I could help you take care of it all but unfortunatly, I am in no situation to help financially myself. I can however offer what I have which is some clothing that may benefit your kids. I also can send you some canned, boxed & bagged foods if it will help. I know this doesn't help much with holiday dinner without a turkey, ham or something to go with it but unfortunatly, I am in the same boat. I do have extra side foods in my cabinet thoguh such as instant pottos, soups, kids pasta meals ect. All in date and sealed if you need it. I will be more than happy to give it to you. I also have some toys. As I said in my post, they are dollar store toys but my children cared for them and they are in good shape. I understand the cans of food may be quite expensive to ship and you could probably buy it at the store for the price of shipping it but the boxed food such as cereal, potatoes, mac & cheese ect. may be worth the ship as they are lite. Anyway, I wish so much that I could do more to help your family and will be praying for your turn around. Also, if you ever need a friend and willing ear feel free to contact me. If I can come up with a miracle anytime soon I will do my best to help you. I'm so sorry I can't do more. God bless your family

Hi Megan, Thanks for the heads up. We do not really have a freecycle in my county. They have one for knox but it's over an hour away from me and they do not allow shipping or offering items for ship. I tried to get accepted into their group but wouldn't accept me because I am not in Knox county. Seems a shame though. It shouldn't matter if one is willing to ship items to someone who needs them and the one who needs can afford the shipping. Thank U for the suggestion. God bless

I will pledge 100% of what I have to give, regardless of pledges, to whomever can use it but since this is a pledge I think I have to handle it this way. I have to pledge the following - toys (dollar store toys but have been loved and cared for), clothing in sizes 3/4 little girls and several sizes large boys (again, not fancy or expensive brands but clean and warm) and time to volunteer to send letters, cards etc. to people who would enjoy them for the holiday. I also pledge my friendship, prayers and a listening ear to whoever is in need of it. What I ask you to pledge is this......Advice. If you have no advice to pledge, please pledge the same to someone else who needs it. Your friendship, prayers, kind words of encouragement and support can mean more than any material things to someone in need.

My name is Tina. I have two children Macy age six (seven in another week) and Jared age fifteen. I have recently been forced from my job to stay at home and care for my daughter which has cerebral palsy. This was sudden and unexpected and has put me in a hardship for the holidays. It has also put me in a severe hardship with my home and bills. I desperatly need to find legitimate work from home in time to take care of christmas for my children. I have already been scammed once with assembling at home work and can't seem to find anything that is truly legitimate. I am at the end of my rope and heading for a breakdown.

I am not some lazy person who has sat back and waited for a job to come to me. I have searched since the day I was forced to leave my job of three years but it seems that everything that I find either requires some huge investment or is a scam. I am a payment away from losing my home if I do not find something soon. Not to mention christmas coming up and I am barely hanging on to my utilities. I have no money for christmas so I certainly can't afford a big investment into something. I just really need some advice on legitamate work at home opps. I don't expect to find something that requires no investment as much as I wish but looking to find something with very little investment if possible. When I say little, I honestly mean very little money. I mean something that would cost less than a water bill because I would be taking my water bill funds to invest in hopes of earning it back before they cut me off.

I am simply in desperate need to find some kind of work in time to buy my kids christmas presents and items for the holidays. I am a hard worker, reliable and determined so I will work to my fullest potential. I just need something I can trust and make a living to avoid me losing our home. Also, I do not mean to sound greedy or selfish in asking about the following because I know my problems fail in comparison to many but I have really just hit rock bottom all at once it seems and don't know what to do. I seen something on the site regarding grants for home repairs and can't seem to find it anymore. I am in desperate need of het in my home and flooring (carpet, linolium anything that will insulate the house so it is not so cold). We got this house when I was still able to work (we needed a place badly) and had intended on fixing it up but with my sitution, I am not going to be able to do anything anytime soon and with winter coming, we are going to be in trouble with no heat. When we got our home, it had only plywood on the living room and kitchen floors where it had been water damaged and had not been fixed. I have looked for remnants of carpet or linolium to put down until I was able to afford to fix it but have had no luck. I can use stack heaters but will likely not be able to afford the utility bill they will run up.

I beleive the grant was government and the way I feel is, I have paid taxes and although a simple thank you from the good ole GOV would have been nice lol.....am desperatly in need of repair to get heat. If anyone can give me some advice or knows anything about these grants please let me know. I am praying it is not a long process because it is getting cold here the last few days.

Now for my pledge....I pledge any of the things I have to give above for any advice I can get on the things mentioned above. If you need any of these, contact me and it's yours. I can't afford to ship anything but the cards and maybe a lite something but I will help you find a way to get it shipped. God knows I would cover it if I could but I am living by borrowing from my utilities now and that doesn't leave much. Please just let me know if you need any of it and we will find a way. I just really appreciate any input. Thank U

I appreciate this site, everyone involved with it and everything it represents. God bless every one of you and have a blessed holiday

My name is Tina. I am a mommy to Macy six years old and Jared fifteen years old. I am a new stay at home, work from home Mom. I enjoy movies, music, reading, relaxing and most of all spending time with my kids. My little girl has cerebral palsy so I also enjoy working with charities that benefit children like her. The Shriner's have been a blessing to all of us. There work is really close to my heart. I no longer have a lot of time to do anything hands on with any orgs but when I can, I try to help with causes such as these.

I am so pleased to have found a group such as this and appreciate you taking the time to read and get to know more about me. I sincerely appreciate all who take the time to try and help others. I have had some very discouraging and even devestating times in my life and found it very difficult to find the support that I needed. We have lost our home and all our possesions to a fire a few years back. We have had many heartwrenching health problems with my little girl and have been drowned with tragedy after tragedy. During these times, I have needed so much support and I mean emotionally, financially and in my daughter's case physically and have had nowhere to turn.

From what I am understanding only the few moments on this site, this is a place to not only meet people who have been in similar situations, receive advice and resources to find the support you need but to build friendships and have emotional support with people who truly care. This means more to many of us than you can imagine. Being limited to the house more than normal for me has been hard. During this time I have not had one friend to interact with that understands my situation and I can honestly say that it has been the lonliest and most desperate point in my life. There has been more tears than happiness in my life and I have had noone with which to talk to. When you are in this situation, a simple act of listening and sharing words of encouragement mean so much. I am so glad to see that there are still people who care for others out there.

I am ready to meet anyone needing a friend to talk to or to share your problems with. If you ever need someone who understands and does not judge, please contact me. I don't have much in the way to help but I do have a good heart and a willing ear lol 

Thanks to everyone who is involved with this site. I know it may not seem like it sometimes but you are making a big difference in the lives of others. Please let me know how I can help. 

I also desperatly need some advice on finding some resources. I ended up having to leave my job of three years to stay home and care for my daughter. She was getting injured at school and it was so bad and often that I just couldn't take it anymore and decided to homeschool her. Our school system is ridiculous here and isn't very helpful to kids with physical limitations. It has been blamed on funding. Anyway, with me suddenly out of work and holidays coming, I am desperatly in need of ligitemate home employment. I need something that I will be able to make money before the holidays or christmas is not going to be very bright for my kids. I was just scammed out of what little monies I had left with the assemble at home scam so please none of those. I am not a lazy bum that is just sitting back expecting a job to come to me. I have honestly been searching since the day I was forced to my home. I am a very hard worker, am reliable and will do anything that is moral and legal lol I am at my wits end. I feel like I am heading for a breakdown and need any advice on this I can get.

I have come to the realization that you have to be very careful what you invest in when it comes to the work at home business. I need something real and as bad as it sounds, I need something with almost no financial investment. I am not expecting to be able to find something with no investment as bad as I wish but I mean I have nothing to spare. My investment would be my water bill funds but I'm hoping to find something to make it back. I am being totally honest when I say, I am living on faith at the moment. I am one payment away from losing my home if I do not find something by the new year. My home of course is more important and I know this might sound bad but I'm sure you can understand that I am more concerned with christmas, because it is just around the corner. I still have enough time to work on the house.

If anyone has any knowledge of work at home opps or has any advice that may help contact me as soon as possible. I am at the end of my rope here. Please say a prayer for us 

 Happy holidays  Thank U
