Aidpage

I am needing help getting a newer-or used in good condition vehichle donated to our family. I am aware of some of the car donation programs, but so far most are "as is" and will need quite a bit of work. We can't afford to get much work done, and our vehichle just completely (finally) died last week~after MANY on going repairs. We can't afford payments. If you have some resources, please let me know ASAP. NAthan's next CF Appointment at Phoenix Children's Hospital is in med Dec. We have to go from Tucson. It's not that far, but over 130 miles from our house. In the mean time we are able to take the bus~so that is a blessing.
Thank you for your help & suggestions.

Today was a very sad and hard day. We live out of state and far from them so had no way to attend. We lifted them up in prayer though all day and I know in my heart that darling little Conner Jones is in heaven right now. http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=309489892984 prayers please for this family who just lost their 7 yr old son to CF.
Services for him, a Celebration of Conner's life was today. I have posted where people can send a card and prayers for the family by sending them to thier church. If anyone would like to do that I know they'd be grateful.

This was a very hard day for us due to Nathan having cystic fibrosis and being so close in age to Conner. This was his little buddy that we've been praying about for months. I am thankful and also sad. Knowing them is a gift...I hate that they are having such horrible pain though and know there's so many here who've lost a child too. God bless them, and you as well.

Hi, I am sorry you are having a harder time of it now. I know we are too. I was going to ask if possibly there's a church in your area that has a benevolence fund, or utility help. We are needing help too, and for us~ since it's an on going situaiton we hate to keep going to the same places again and again. Our church has tried to help several times over the years and so have other churches we are not even currently attending but have gone to in the past.

Some also have pantry help. Like our church has dry goods and they also try to do a few meals. I know it's not the larger amount of immediate fund that would be most helpful, but possibly it would at least get some help coming in. With each place that you inquire about, please also ask them if they might possibly know of anywhere else who might have a program you can try or apply for. Some of the places you try might not have something for you, but you never know.

Also, I know there are  MANY teacher resource/referral type - "support" groups that have quite a few community organizations across the country that do try to help teachers.

Thank you so much for the service you are doing. We live in Tucson, AZ and here they have been shutting down schools right and left. So many teacher's are struggeling it's unreal, and seems so unfair.

You can also try posting on Modest Needs, and places on line like that.

God bless you, please keep us posted if any help comes in.

Was this still happening this year for the offer to help pay mortage? Does anyone know if this is real?

I am trying to find another vehichle for our family to be donated to us in working order with A/C. We have my son's cystic fibrosis center in Phoenix and live in Tucson. We are needing another vehichle, the other one we had has been broken down since Christmas. I am trying to find something that isn't a built over vehicle. I wondered if any of the main manufactures have hardship foundations/organizations or something we could submit a request to. I know it's asking alot. Just thought I'd check.

Which state are you in. AZ does it, and most do. Please let me know if you got this taken care of.

Hi, I am so sorry for your situaiton. I wanted to see if anything had happened in the past few days. It  sounds like you are not in a very healthy situaiton right now so I am sure it's very stressful for you. I wanted to encourage you that you are making good moves at least to talk about it and gain another perspective and also for your daughter... she is there watching and hearing all this stress. Just be careful. I would see what you can do to talk to your land loard about the situaiton. Is your name or his on the lease? Can you speak with the utility company and make a payment arrangement, even for minimum payments. I would also contact a domestic violence shelter for advice and community resources available to you in your area. It doesn't mean that you  have to go stay there, but you do need to be looking at all your options. Modest Needs is an organization that lets you post and apply for help with some of your bills. They are out of NY,  but not specific location wise only to that area.

Please let me know waht's going on. Sometimes also if you start some DV support/counceling they have debt programs that you could be eligable for to help oyu get your bills reduced as long as you are active in the counceling-support group. Just a thought. God bless you honey. Let me know what area you live in.

Hi~ I had been on aidpage for several years but Nathan had alot going on, so I hadn't been active for a while. I am married and a stay and home mom of two boys. I have a 5 yr old and 16 yr old. Our 5 yr old Nathan has cystic fibrosis, G-tube, EE, asthma, GERD and an oral aversion. He's a little miracle. I am constantly looking for helful resources for our family. We have a web site for Nathan and hope that people will check it out and also begin to learn more about CF, or ways to help fight for cure for this horrible disease. God bless you. I also enjoy helping other's with various situaitons~curve balls life can throw into the mix. I have have been very blessed by this site, and found many helpful and life changing resources. I like to try to pass that kind of care and help on to other's, the same that we need for ourselves.
