I am trying to find a grant that will help me as a single parent

Finishing getting a higher education, send my daughter to Beauty school,

pay debts, fix my car, but ever site I see wants fees. I can't afford these,

I've been out of work for 5 wks because my daughter is Bipolar and is having

a very hard time with medication. I get to go back to work next week but I had to

take a job close to home. So I won't be making enough money to pay my bills.

I'm going to lose our place to live....There father won't pay there child support and it

seems like the state won't do anything about it. I can't afford a lawyer...

I just feel lost right now..

 

Thanks for listening

     My name is Jeannie Huidson.  There is a church that I know of that is in desperate need of help.  Over the years this church had been donated to anyone who wanted to hold service.  Recently the original owners past away.  The estate was passed on to thier family members.  Instead of donating the church to service as it had been done in the past they wish to make profit by selling the church.       The church is very old but is in good enouch condition that it has promise of being restored.  The present pastor has been holding service in this church for over a year.  The congration of this church is less than ten.  I sat in this church and thier were only five people, but this pastor preached as if the house was full.       This church has been placed on the market for I believe $48,000 dollars.  The pastor and congration are poor people.  They do not have the money to purchase this church nor do they have the means to.  This church is old and in need of alot of work.  Chances are that someone will buy the land that the church sits on and tear down the church building and probably build a house on it.  I feel that this church has promise and needs to be restored and stand as it has for many years and many years to come.  This pastor has heart.  I feel that if given the chance this pastor can fill this church with people.       I know that there are alot of non-profit organizations out there.  Surely there is someone who can help these people keep thier church.  Someone who can help this pastor purchase this church so he can continue to build a house for god, and do gods work.       If you know of any non-profit organizations who can help, please pass them our way.  I am looking for any means possible to try to save this church.  All help or donations would be deeply appreciated.     If there is anyone who can help please contact me.  I will provide them the information needed  to contact this pastor.   Jeannie Hudson86 Hester DriveDunlap TN 37327 email address: earthangel99@earthlink.net  Please help save this church

I went back to college when I was 37 years old while my children where young, Becasue of that I know have an AA, and a BA, almost finish becoming a teacher. know that my children are almost grown I'm going back to college. Not sure how it's all going to unfold, but I'm trusting in the Lord, and asking for help to finish what's been started.  I have been through a lot of trials, trying to keep my family together. I also have a road block, keeping from doing what I enjoy the most,working with children.  Pleace help a mother remove those road blocks, and to help her dreams come true.

I'm doing my best to find a good career so I can get back on my feet and provide a home and comfortable life for my daughter. As of late; I have been looking into a career as a Heavy Equipment Operator. So far I have applied at California School of Construction. They check my credit; and let me know that I would be excepted and theyd'e finance the tuition; if I could find a co-signer. Well; I cant. I know that if I could just get enrolled into this career college, that my life would be for the better. I would actually feel like I'm a good dad for once in daughters life. Will someone with some knowledge of what I should do next please help me and let me know who to call, write, email, or go see next? My email address is Wolfer75@msn.com. Thanks;
