Aidpage

In this time of recession and foreclosures on homes and job losses, the number of people surfing the internet looking for help is growing fast and http://www.christians-in-recovery.org is getting 2500 hits a day. Many people want to get help with their depression, or addiction, but because they are afraid or ashamed of negative feedback if they go public, they are seeking an online community where they can be anonymous. CIR is the largest most comprehensice recovery site on the web.

Would you please help make a difference in A life by making a donation at https://christians-in-recovery.org/secure/donate.html

thank you

First of all. I dont think this has anything to do with COMPASSION ! I simply tried to give some Encouragement. I feel I was attacked, as if I were suggesting that She was just lazy or something ? After trying to appologize. I was again accused of something else. I dont appreciate anyone making judgements about me when I have hardly ever spoke to them. All I can say is if someone does not like something I post, then dont read it. I am finished with this topic, Obviously some people just love DRAMA and to blow things out of proportion. I dont have time, Nor' do I want the time, for DRAMA !  I think there are more IMPORTANT things to talk about on here and There are People who need and want Help. People who are willing to Help Themselves too ! I am Here for Those Peolple ! As for this Topic, for me. It is Now CLOSED !

The Sacramento Resource Directory updates the entire database each year. Far too often people post health information on webpages and do not make sure the content is accurate and current. This creates a greater frustration to those needing help. We call each resource annually, and when we cannot reach someone by phone, then one of us go to the resource and confirm the information.

If you are seeking assistance with the County of Sacramento, then please use the database>> online to locate the resources you need. If you want to call in, please feel free to use the information in the Contact Us>> page. On weekends and holidays a HIPAA Advanced Certified volunteer working from home will answer or return your call.

If you are someone posting information on AidPage about health services in Sacramento, then please update your content for accuracy because we have heard to many concerns about health information that is outdated and incomplete.

But there are some legitimate means to make money on the web.  We're not talking thousands, and they do require some work - but they do pay. 

1) Squidoo lenses.  They are small content pages you can make by yourself about anything.  Crafts, money saving ideas, recipes, anything YOU are good at you can try ot make into a lense.  Quality of content is important here, and so are frequent updates.  Keep your 'lense' frensh.  This link is my referal, I would be delighted if you would use it.  Just to help me keep track of people this works for!  Of course, refering friends also helps you make a bit of extra money, I won't lie there.   http://www.squidoo.com/lensmaster/referral/Doodlebug_03

2)  your own blog!  That is right, make your own blog much like you do here, but keep the content about something you know.  www.blogger.com is a great blog site, and they make it easy.  Then, put your adsense info in, and viola - it can work!  

What I like about both of these ideas is they don't cost you anything.  They do require effort, and work, but they don't cost you anything but your time to use.  I am doing 'decently' at these efforts, not a flood of money - but I'll be seeing some return on the investment of time time. 

I look healthy don't I? Well I'm not and according to the US Government, I can work. Unfortunately, they are wrong.

In 2002 I was diagnosed with Adult Onset Primary Immune Deficiency. This is the adult version of the Boy in the Bubble Syndrome. This means that as I age, portions of my immune system disappear. So far I have lost IgG, IgG subset 3 and IgA. Its like being a chemo patient or having HIV. I catch everything, have chronic conditions, my body attracts itself when one of the missing immune systems are needed and I have had many body parts removed due to those attacks.

In applying for disability, I was turned down a total of 5 times. The first two times I was turned down, I was on treatments for this condition which cost $10,000 a month. While on them, I was able to work so I could understand the refusal for benefits. Then the treatments almost killed me and the doctors refuse to allow them any longer.

I applied again for help and was turned down, they said I could run an antique store...NOT...I can't be around people all the time and I can't be in a job that requires full commitment of time as you never know when I am going to get sick again. I am down an average of 10 to 20 days month with something.

I appealed and was turned down again, they said I could work at a pool hall....go figure..the doctors looking at the 9 inches of information about my condition are clueless!

I appealed and was turned down again...this time they said "you have many illnesses and conditions that make life difficult but no one thing that makes you disabled". I wanted to die.

I live a subsistence life, get a bit of help from family but for the most part I just do without. The last time I bought anything new to wear was five years ago. I am broke, sad, and whats worse is that there is no cure.

I will live like this, slowly becoming more and more isolated. Unable to be in the public at all, stuck at home (which by the way I can not keep up maintenance on due to the lack of funds so the house is starting to make me sick too). Sometimes I just want to die....but that will come.

I hired an attorney who will get 25% of any money I might get from disability. If I get it. And my luck says I won't. Not to mention it usually takes only 9 months for  a hearing but since Indiana only has 3 judges doing these cases and one is on sabbatical while another is sick, only one judge is handling the entire case load so the time has tripled.  Thus

this ad. I need to have professionals come and clean up and fix my basement due to mold which keeps me in migraines about 7 days a month. I need to buy an air filter to clean the air in the upstairs of my house since I am in it most of the time. I also need help paying off my car...without it the multiple trips to doctors, labs and hospitals will be impossible. Lastly, I just lost 43 pounds due to a sever illness that lasted 3 1/2 months so none of my clothes fit. I need a sewing machine to fix them. These are the most pressing things. One other could be some credit card debt. I need $2000 to pay off two cards I had to use last year to buy food and medicine.

I am no lay about....I worked hard from the age of 13 until 41...and never complained. I lost many jobs over the years due to illness but always got back on my feet. I lost a few businesses too since they required more than I could give. I  work until I nearly pass out and or hurt myself. I have never gotten anything for free until just the other day a neighbor gave me $100...she said it was for all I do for her....I have done nothing but pick up a few sticks in her yard, checked her house while they were away and taught her about some native plants.....an angel as a neighbor is a good thing to have.

 I am a survivor of sexual abuse, drug abuse, self abuse and other traumas. These made me strong in some ways and very weak in others. I hate to ask for help....I work for what I get but here I am......help please.

My name is Loree, I'm a 58 year old woman with copd, congestive heart failure and am in stage 3 kidney failure.  I'm married and have been for years, to a wonderful hard working man.  That's one of the problems.  In the USA if your married there isn't a lot of finanial help for people.  We do have insurance that does take care of 80% of our medical bills.  But that other 20% can be a crippling killer when you don't have it.  My husband is one of the hardest working men I know, and yet our medical bills are so extensive.  In todays market we aren't even lower middle class but rather upper poverty.  I'm not sure what has happened in America, but am sure that there are others out there facing the same financial crisis that we are.  Help would be wonderful, we could certainly use some.

I have to say when I first came here I was really bad off. Your Prayers helped. I have a Site now at Wetpaint and am quite happy. There is a bunch of us that are helping each other with Business and Spiritual Goals. It's kinda cool now. You know, Debt is one of the hardest things this Country is facing right now here is why... We are programed guys, it's not right, but we are.

Programed to have what another has... cars, money, and homes, sometimes way out of our income and budget range. I just woke up one day and knew, I can't do this anymore, I can't spend what I don't have. Can't live on what I have either. So I Prayed, and God Blessed me with a Good Friend who is sharp in Business, and long on Teaching folks who want to improve BOTH their Spiritual and Professional life. I found gifts within me that I didn't even know I had! I have to say I am happy, because I can be and do ME! Am I rich not in money but in Spirit.... somehow I just know the rest is coming. I proritize better that's for sure. and for this I am Grateful.
