Just giving you guys an update onhow things are going. After doing further research online and getting resources from those within this community, i am proceeding in getting the help that I need to get a fresh start.
If you live in Charlotte, NC and surrounding, you all know about Crisis Assistance Ministry on Spratt Street. The wait to get help is long but it will be worth it. After the third try I was able to finally get in the door and get an interview to receive help for my rent. The interview will take place on next thurs Aug 12th. I speak that it goes well. So for those of you who are still having trouble getting help or at least getting an interview with Crisis, continue to try. Always get there by 7:45am M-F. They also have a free store where you can get free clothing, free appliances, and there is a separate storewhere you can get free furniture.
Also this month there are several churches in the area that are taking applications to receive financial aid. what I was able to find so far is the Victory Christian center on Old Pineville Road. They will be able to help you with rent, utilities (electirc, water, maybe cable bill). On their application they will speciafic what they will help with and they will do only one single bill so make it count.
For all residents,
I have been having trouble making my car payments due to loss of my job and benefits. I found a company online when I googled I need help paying car payment I ran onto a website called Payment Solutions Center https://www.paymentsolutionscenter.com/. They claimed that they can help stop repos from happening. They offer a free consultation to determine whether or not they can help lower your payments.
Also a friend on Aidpage nin3 referred me to modestneeds.org. The application fee once you pass the pre-screening for a grant costs $7.50 which is refundable. You can apply many times for the free pre-screening, but you have to sign up for a free account first. Once you pass the free screening you must follow the requirements on order to eligible for donor review. I have passed all of the requirements I have yet to try cyberbeg.com but let me hear form the other companies first and I will update soon.May God continue to bless and keep all of you.
Ephesians 3:20 (New International Version)
20Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,
My car recently broke down and I still owe 7,000 dollars worth of payments on it. I am always prepared with a saving's for emergency's but not $1,400 dollars worth. I dont know what to do. I don't have family or friends that have money like this to lend. I can't get to work,(I have to drive daycare kids to their busses) I am begging people to take my kids to school and drop them off. I live in a walking district and my son is only 5, we live on the other side of town, as far as you could possibly get from school.
I don't know how this works or what to expect from people but I was frantic and typing in loans and what not and this just sort of fell into my lap. So I figured what the heck. I am a full-time student and work 45+ hours a week. I get by just fine, I am not greedy and I could care less about most of the material things other people want. I am a cowgirl at heart. I just need a little help to get by this year and I dont have anyone to do that.
Thanks for taking the time to read about my problem.
I am married and have two toddlers age 4 and 2. For about two years we have been strugling in meeting our basic expenses and it had been very hard. My husband has a very demanding job and I work full time and do some other little jobs to get extra money, but it is not enought to pay our expenses. We are way behind with our car payment which we can loose it at any time, and the sad thing is that my husband is almost done paying it till march! our other car is being having problems since about a year but we can't afford to repair it because of monetary reasons. We have our mortgage plus our equity loan and our house needs a lot of repairs. my basemant is leaking and is begining to grow mold. we just need some extra money to pay some of our debts and free us a little more.Please help us!!!!!!!!!
