I have a 41 year old son who is mentally ill.  He was diagnosed in 2003 and is finally receiving SS benefits.  It took 4 years to go through all the hoops to get that.  Now that he is receiving benefits and services, he is making good progress.  He would like to go to college.  I thought Social Security provided some assistance for education but I can't find any information about it.  Since he also qualifies for SSDI there should be something out there.  Does anyone know who I can contact or where I can go to find out about financial assistance for him?

Looking for assistance

I was not aware pages like this existed.  I am not sure where this will go, but I am going to take a leap of faith and put it out there.  If nothing else, I know there are people out there who will pray for us.  =)

I am a stay at home mom of 5.  My husband barely brings in enough to cover the bills.  We live with family, so we are blessed that we have a roof over our head and food in our mouths.  However, we have been here for 7 years and the stress level has gotten way out of control.

I have a small business from home, but have had marginal results.  I have had a hard time finding qualified business partners and with 4 children under 8, my 'free' time to build is scarce.  I have learned the skills to get out of debt, without increasing my income and that has been working well.  However, we still need to increase our income to move into a home of our own.

As much as I'd like a few thousand of dollars to fall from heaven, I know that it just doesn't happen that way.  But, I would greatly appreciate recommendations and prayers.  I have found a teaching program to help me build up my business and grow my income, but, as with any schooling, there are costs...which we cannot afford.

I tithe 20% of my business income and gift as often as I can.  I pray that someone can direct me to resources to help us.

Blessings

Hello,

I am in need of help. I worked for 20 years, never missing anytime except when my parents passed away or had vacation time to work on my house. I became unemployed in July of 2006 after working for a company that closed it doors in my location. I appealed to them to sign up with the government to agree to the job loss situation where the benefits would be extended but to no avail. I have found that here noone cares about job experience anymore, its all about the piece of paper (either a degree or certification). Here is the kicker though, due to my job being closed for good and thats why I became unemployed, I was able to go back to school for my MCSE certification. The problem with it is that its conflicting with work schedules so my school is keeping me from getting hired anywhere. What I need help with is living expenses while in school so I could get my certification and thus be able to get that good job. We have stayed pretty close on out bills to this point but have fallen behind slightly now. Any assistance would ne most appreciated. Thank you for your help in advance.

I need assistance with further educating myself to better the lives of me and my three year old daughter who also need housing.

I am a twenty-five year old single parent who is very much so, down on my luck. The past two years of trying to raise my three year-old daughter has been every bit of a living nightmare. Since we were evicted from our apartment over a year ago, we have been living place to place and living a, what most people would consider barely getting by.  From getting my car stolen and not having full coverage, to my house being robbed, to living with friends and relatives, to ultlmatly now only left with a decision between a homeless shelter and here and there.  I was attending a community college in the city where I live and riding the transit system in the winter to school, while trying to find a stable place to live began to be too much to handle.  I am now trying to get housing and financial assistance from government agencies to try and get back on my feet but it is the most difficult thing I have faced in my entire life with trying to care for my daughter. I have all the confidence in myself, initiative, any one person could have to be able to make it and be successful, I just need the resources and a break.  I would desperately like to be consedered for any help I could get at this time. I would live in the smallest apartment right now. Most of all, I would like another chance at my education and to pull myself out of this hole I've fallen into.
