Can anyone in KY, Indiana,or Tenessee help us by donating stuff we can put in a building. We could use old pic nic tables,wooden rustic tables and chairs,2x4s,an ice cream freezer that holds up to 8 or more tubs of ice cream. We may can even work out some kind of deal by helping you out or maybe I could do a painting for you.We got us a building that has a small apartment up-stairs that my family can live in. It is very reasonable rent,but want to turn the down stairs,which was an ice cream parlor many years ago into a new ice cream shop. Our small town has nowhere to get ice cream without traveling to another town. We know this will work out for us and could be a dream come true. We have put everything we own into this building and we have nothing left. We really could use some help to get this going.The Mayor of our small town even said he knew if we could get it going that our idea for an ice cream shop will flourish. We do not need new equipment or new furniture for our store. We live in a very rustic small town and old and rustic is good. So please,if anyone out there can help in any way,any small way,please let me know.We will even drive some distance to meet you half way or even drive all the way if anybody has some things that we could use.Thankfully,we have had a few donations of a new toilet and sink, which is required for in the store. We have the plumbing,and we have even gotten a few large shelving stands.We are thankful and greatful for what we have gotten by some of the wonderful people in our home town,but this is such a small town with alot of tourist attractions so we are limited. I appreciate all and any help. Please help us make a dream come true for us. Maybe we can help you in return.
Hello all, I am a mother of 3 beautiful kids and I have a wonderful hard working husband. We have not lived in Cave City,Ky long,but we fell in love with this town and are wanting to make this our home. It has been a lifetime dream for me to be able to start my own business and now we have a chance. We have a building,which was once an ice cream store years ago. Cave City does not have a place to get ice cream and we know,from lots of the people in this town,that one is needed here and we really believe this would be a business that would flourish,but we could really use any help we can get. We do not have alot of money and we are trying to start this new business up with nothing but the building and a cash register that was donated to us. We have also received shelfs,which I will also display art on(another dream was to have a place to sell my paintings at) What we are mainly needing is either some local businesses to step- up and help our business. We could use an ice cream freezer cart that holds 8 tubs or more,an upright freezer for extra storing or any other kind of freezer,we also could use old rustic tables and chairs(preferably wooden) and even old pic nic tables. Anything that would help get started would so much be appreciated. We have already received alittle help from people around this area and recieved a new toilet and sink so we can re-install a new bathroom. We could use two by fours to re-build 2 walls of the bathroom that was removed and never put back in.Like I said we are a small business and a family just trying to better our lives. In return,we would like to help someone after we get up running. Maybe we can host a business party for you and your employees and serve you free ice cream,or maybe we can help advertise your business.This day and time we know and we feel that if businesses helped businesses,it could help alot of us out.We have started building a Fan page on Facebook called Businesses helping businesses,which will be up and running soon.We have made several friends who are bussiness owners and who have helped steer people my way for art and we help them by mentioning these businesses on blogs.We live in a very small town and the building we have will be a building we can live upstairs,which will greatly help us financially. Our building is in a very good location as well. We are surrounded by 6 motels and several attraction places. One would think with a town having several wonderful places to see and visit such as Jelly Stone Park,Jesse James riding stables, a 150 foot zip-line going down the mountain,Dinososaur World and several wonderful trails and caves that there would be a little shop to drop by for an ice cream,but there is not.This is why we know,without a doubt,that we can make it work with a little help. I am not asking for money,just old materialistic things that we just can't afford right now.We are 2 months on rent because there are no jobs and I have not been able to drive due to Adies Syndrome,which has gradually been getting worse over the years. The only thing I have left is my art and my family. So please if there are any Ky people,people from Tennesee or Indiana who may could help us get some of these things we need to get us on our feet,please let me know. Even if it a box of nails,little things we may could use to start our little establishment,we would be very greatful.Maybe you are a small bussiness loaner and could help us by getting a small business loan.( we found one who tried to rip us off) So we need someone who will not take us for granted and take our money to get a business loan. Okay,well, I have thrown this out there to all of you and I pray that anyone can help. God Bless you all
Please is there anyone out there that can help me make some money. I hate to ask for money I would rather work for it, but I have been out of work since 2009 when my father died. I am an only child and have two children and I am the only caregiver for my mother with Alzheimer’s, diabetes and heart disease. I have to provide total care for her. She is on hospice and sometimes she doesn’t even know me. I have been taking care of her since June of last year. I am 52 years old and my only income is my mothers’ social security and that won’t pay all my bills. I have degenerative bone disease and arthritis. I am in constant pain, but can’t afford surgery because; my mother needs around the clock care. I am on the verge of loosing everything. I feel like just dying, at least I wouldn’t be in pain and I wouldn’t have to worry about bills. I have applied for disability, but I am sure I will be denied the first time. Then I will have to hire a lawyer and with no income that would be impossible. I have two master degrees. One in Elementary Guidance and Early Childhood Education. I let my certification run out because I have given up looking for a job. I am CAN certified, but can’t find a job. Plus I can’t leave my mother to work. I have 15 years of data entry by working at The Department of Social Services. I have tried for years to get another job with them, but after putting in over 100 applications I give up, again it is no use to look I can’t leave my mother. I really need a job online, but everywhere I look either they ask for money or they want to know your credit rating, which is ruined because I can’t pay my bills. I owe 50,000 dollars in student loans due to deferment charges. I could do data entry online and any other job online as lone as it doesn’t depend on my credit rating or it asks for money. I have tried online surveys, but never had any luck at that. I even tried a phone sex job, but just couldn’t think of anything sexy to say! Please someone help me. I am paying my mothers bills and mine. I am also taking care of two teenage boys that are eating me out of house and home! I need to make 1,500.00 extra a month to pay bills and to buy groceries. PLEASE, PLEASE SOMEONE GIVE ME A CHANCE. PLEASE PRAY FOR ME I CAN’T SLEEP I AM SO SICK FROM WORRYING HOW AM I GOING TO PAY MY BILLS WHEN NO ONE WILL EVEN GIVE ME A CHANCE!
I am a single-dad with 3 small children(Son-7yrs, daughter-5yrs, daughter-1yr.). I have 50%custody of them and they are with me for that every weekend so that I can bring them to church with me. I am a U.S. Marine Corps Veteran. I have been a personal trainer for a short while and have unfortunately been unemployed since November 17, 2011. I am in desperate need of work. I am getting food stamps, but only for me - NOT THE CHILDREN!!! The law here in CA says that whoever has them on the claim first gets the award-monies. Their mother applied before me because we were still married then. I never had a chance to claim them after our divorce. In short, she walked with another man and is now married to him. This has been almost 2 years now since the divorce was filed. Since then, I have struggled tremendously financially because I cannot find solid work and/or daycare, let alone the money for it, so that I can work whenever I find it.
I am at my last run of strength it seems trying to support myself and my 3 beautiful children(look at my picture/profile). I have been living on borrowed money for too long. I need employment, short-term financial aid until I am employed, a car(very hard with 3 SMALL kids getting around on the bus), etc.
I know that there is someone out there who can help me. I live in Canoga Park, CA. Thank you...
in response to bookworm2011...Little bit of this and a little bit of that. Haha No nothing new. Sounds like you have your hands full. Tell the one who's going to Mexico to be careful. It's deffaniately not like America in most of the country, to much corruption. Just have him keep his eyes open and when someone says duck they aren't talking foul.The one being potty trained, I'm not touchig that with a ten foot pole.You are probably right about the girls, when any kid and I mean any is quit for any length of time count on trouble of some sort.
in response to Schmidty...I've been around..doing a little of this, a little of that lol
working mostly and forever busy with my kids..one is about to go to Mexico to build an orphanage so running around trying to get his passport in time..the other is potty training..vast differences! Both extremely important nontheless..and my girls have both been pretty quiet this week, which spells trouble in some form or the other..thats about it, how about you? Anything new?
in response to aali...Sorry to hear of your plight.You can get a hold of the Dept. of Education here in the states and see if they have a program. Try:

Project summary/abstract.
The need of Indian herbals (medicinal plants) having highest value in worldwide and in the medical field which are supportive for research and cure of several unknown diseases. But they are not easily available and can be found in forests and mountains, farmers and agriculturists arte not cultivating them in their lands. To disseminate and demonstrate the method of cultivation of these medicinal plants which can also provide additional income to agricultural women laborers ,small farmers and dry landholders and will lead to formation of medicinal plants’(Herbal Garden), this project is suggested for environmental bidoological diversioty and protection with the participation and involvement of agricultural women labourers, small farmers and dryland holders. Major, unintended changes are occurring in the atmosphere, in soils, waters, plants and animals due to major usage of chemical fertilizers and pesticides for cultivation and irrigation in lands. Hence organic farming and sustainable agriculture should be established in the project area. It is most essential to grow more trees and plants in the project area with highest possible percentage so that human, animal, birds and reptiles could live supportively each other. Totally agro –forestry system should be established in the project area which could pave way for good food production and provide better living condition to the people. More over equilibrium and ecological balance of the earth could be maintained. Hence, I request your goodself to support us by contribution or donation or project for this project

RELEVANCE OF THE PROJECT

With environmental consciousness growing, the growth equity and sustainability of natural resources can be achieved. iii)Once ‘eco vision’ is clear among rural masses, plans can be formulated for the public works programmers .iv)Once a decentralized eco-development plan is available for a particular ecological region, massive employment can be created through activities aimed at the restoration of the ecological infrastructure and ecological regeneration can be attributed. v) For enrichment of a village ecosystem, we can plan for the entire private and common lands in fuel, food, fodder, and other basic biomass ds can be met on a priority basis. vi)Planning of ecological security, basic survival needs and income generation by reversing lands. vii) Multipurpose trees are brows able and like the fields of wheat and rice can be protected. viii) Multipurpose trees can be planted which can hold the soil and water and yield fuel, fodder and food and secure natural and social entities. ix) When multipurpose indigenous trees are grown on common lands, social and political conditions can be created so that people can again develop a special relationship with these trees. x) The remote people can be educated on nature conservation starting with the habit of nursery raising of plants and tree plantation programmer. xi)Hence this project will be an entry and turning point among rural masses to establish substantial and long standing contribution to nature conservations

in response to Schmidty...Dumb...Dumb....Dumb I sent a message to the your counter partThen I realized after sometime that you had changed your name, had to change your name. I can't figure out why.
All this upgrading that AIDPAGE has done , or at least says they have done has only made it slower and now the one to one is screwed up, it goes to a little white box and hangs up.Can't type nothing, have to go back a page or click out completely. Both of those would surely be a turn on for anyone just coming to the site, it's a shame it use to be a damn good site. Not no more.
Enough , Heres wishing that you have a happy and prosperous new year.Trala boomde a.

I am taking care of my aunt, I am down to my last 300.00, I have ask all of those agencies such as the samaritan, st.depaul. and they always come up with excuses of not to help.
I have applied everywhere and I have not found any employment, I have run out of my EDD benefits.
I still want to believe in miracles, but I am running out of hope, please can someone help us?
Does anyone know where you can help help in finding assistance with getting paper products such as tissues, toliet paper toothpaste. I have been searching for work for the last three years and have a whole 180 page workbook 5 subjects (I am working on my second book). I have been to many interviews and still have had no luck at all.
in response to seniorvet...If you go to www.grantgate.com or www.thefederalmoneyretriever.com you'll find a very discriptiveArticle on how and what you need to write a grant.The programs themselves also help including the 'letter of inquiry". That grant writer may be you! Is there something you need specific that I could help with? Good Luck and God Bless

I needed help long before Christmas Time started to roll around.I'm not too proud to ask for help but, since I lost my job ...I felt that help others and God will help you.So I spend my down time when not looking for work at the local food bank and shelter helping others.I have the usual problems a lot have with making my bills and health as well as depression.My problems are not as bad as others but I have to everyday pray for the strenghtn to keep busy finding a way to stay off the street and the poor house.I didn't think I'd find time to write this but the head of the food bank made me take a day off and gave me Aidpage URL address.I hope someone can find hope and help from what I do and say everyday whether or not anyone helps me..I know I've done all I could for them.I guess I'm asking for whatever you'd like to help me with.I know God will bless thoses who bless others so thats why I'm not pressing anyone for help...their been Times I had seems nothing at all and God made a way for me,So pray and believe I know he'll make a way for you too!

I am reaching out to anyone who can help me give my family some peace and comfort at this time of year. I have some very serious health issues that has kept me from being able to be employed for the last 3 years. My wife has had to leave her job recently to care for me and my daughter who is 11. We have no way pay our rent this month, and of course we have no way to get Christmas for any of our family, or Grandchildren. I am praying that someone out there could help us. I know that many people are struggling and I wish I could be the one helping, but I am the one asking for help, much to my dismay. I pray God will send my family a miracle thru someone out there. Please help and God bless.
in response to Mimiand3...I will pray for you, for sure. This is a horrible situation, and I honestly never thought I'd be here. Best wishes to you and your family. I hope that you find the help you need and are able to get back on your feet soon.
in response to angmnyrd...Its sad,that is so many of our stories. I cry alot and I pray even more. Just keep us in your thoughts and prayers and I will do the same for you and your family. Just stay encouraged,I know that one is easier said than done.
