Emil   in reply to bookworm2011   on

daughter: i am still in need of help to send my 4 year old daughter to kindagarten boot

Hi bookworm2011,

My wife and I are involved with a new nonprofit called BookMentors. The organization was founded just last year. The purpose is to create an online system dedicated to donating of books to students (through their teachers). Teachers will be posting requests on the site. The site will be ready sometime later this year.

In the meantime, you may visit their temporary web page at http://bookmentors.org ... and signup for email updates from them.

Best,
Emil

------------------------------------

President Barack Obama. Thank you for making our dream come true...A black president. We are proud of you. I am a single parent with a lot of concern, mainly how my son and other college students suffers at the end of the semister to make money last. Food is going up and so is living expense. I have watch students drop out  of college because of not enough money to last. Trust me, medical emergencies do happen. My son is a junior in college and want to continue on and get his masters. The pressure college students are under is very disturbing. Seem as if no one want to hear this problem. Yes, I know getting a job on campus is hard. There is a waiting list. There are jobs off campus, but he has no car. Can you guys address this issue please. Give a student credit for trying to better his life... Will await for respond...

About eto9eto

Hello.I am a mother of 2 daughters.My husband died 14 years ago.I am from Kazakhstan and my husband was from republic of Georgia and so now I and my girls live in Georgia and it is very difficult for me to pay for education of my daughters. Both of them are students and the price of each of them  is about 1000 $ per year,but you know that this price is not cheap for Georgia and it's hard for me to pay. I am working as a housekeeper,but the salary is very little and my daughters are unemployeed at the moment,because it is almost impossible to find job here.The  goverment refused to help me,so I don't know what to do.

Looking forward to hearing from someone

Due to dental and eyeglass needs, I am withdrawing my request for donations to cover the costs of a short-term missions trip to Pawley's Island off the coast of South Carolina, scheduled for August 1st thru August 8th, 2009.  I hope to volunteer my time and skills in the future to do whatever I can to help others as well as share the word of God.  I you hear of anyone else willing to give their time and share their knowledge, I hope you will open you heart and do whatever you can.

This island off the coast of South Carolina is something special.  In the middle of this vacation paradise is a broken community.  For many years the racial divisions have been ignored as the community has enjoyed a growing and expanding economy.  Unfortunately, the only community seeming to benefit from all the growth has been the affluent white community.  As Pawley's has continued to grow and expand so has the division between the white and African-American communities.

Mission trips for students are one of the most powerful experiences a student can have while in school.  You have heard it said by returning students that they got more out of the experience than the people they went to serve.  Besides work projects, evangelism outreaches, and a strong discipleship program, an added leadership component takes the trips to the next level.

God Bless!

I am a mom of 2 beautiful kids, who gets no child support, and am in dire need of help. My oldest needs her teeth fixed, or she will end up in dentures in the next 3 years, and she is just a teenager!! She also recently lost an aunt, and my sons grandparents lost everything in a violent storm here! My husband is trying to pay off 25,000 in student loans, and we are getting really far behind! We could really use any help you could give. We do work full time!

Hello there people on the web,
This is weird for me to do...I actually feel unconfortable doing it but I am desperated and I do not know what else can I do...My husband and I met in the United States. We both were and still are international students. I am from Central America (Costa Rica) and he is from Africa (Sao Tome and Principe). We have been working hard in order to pay our expenses here. We really value education and both of us dream is to obtain a PhD. I am working toward mine but my husband is still working toward his master's degree. We both have students jobs (more than one). We paid last fall and this spring semesters for my husband (I have a graduate assistantship but he does not); however, this summer (2008) it is supposed to be his last semester of his master's, however, we do not have any more funds and we do not know how are we going to pay his tuition this semester. When we got married last year (2007) some friends gave us money so we saved it for his degree but now this money is almost gone and because we are international students, we pay out-of-state tution which is very very expensive. My husband is very frustrated and so am I. I wish he can fisnish his master's. He is so smart and hard worker...you know, there are not universities in Sao Tome and Principe so for him this is the greatest thing that has happend to him...We have tried to apply for student loans but we need an American cosigner and we do not have one...How can I help my husband to fulfill his dream?? He tried to get an assistantship but with all the budget cuts it has been impossible. He studies economics and he loves it! He has a passion for it and he dreams with working in his career soon...We were listening to Joel Osteen on TV and he was saying that we should believe that God will help us to achieve our dreams and that we have to trust God...we do trust God, but I think that when it comes to money we can only hope for a miracle...and money miracles do not happen often...I am wondering if someone, somewhere, somehow can help us...please...if you are there, wherever you are, we need your help...please...In the meanwhile, we are trying to come up with ideas, but we add and add and our accounts do not close...we do not have enough...we cannot make his dream happen...how can we do it?

I attempted to end my life

I've been depressed and now battle myself from failure everyday.  Me and my husband have passed through one storm of our youngest daughter's food posioning from the tainted peanut butter and now we are still recovering from all the doctor's bills and unpaid days of work.  Our 1 yr old is now healthier and a miracle to us considering we did not know what we were dealing with for 3 months.  My mother in law watched her and without any thought, always spread peanut butter on her toast every morning.  She survived the constant vomitting, diarrhea, and high temp fevers.  I leave for work at 3am and it was always hard leaving my ill daughter.  Her fever would break for a night and return without skipping a beat.  Me and husband took turns calling in sick to take her to the hospital.  We are both full time parents, students and workers.  Our world seem to stand still awaiting our daughter's recovery and the bill collectors and hospital bills were very unforgiving.  Any prayers and or financial support would help tremendously.  God willed me to live and we trust in him.  Thank you for your time and your prayers.

College Aid

We have five kids, our oldest being 17 and 18 in college. My husband works but his income is not enough to cover all our needs. Please, we need help asap. We lived in a motel for some years and was fortunate to finally get out. We are in a financial crisis trying to keep up with our bills.Our two daughters have not been able to go back to college and this is really hurting them. Our daughters are very smart girls, and this has put a lot of stress on them  Please somebody help my family. We are honest, hard working people. Our daughters' financial aid covers only half of their fees. My family and I have been through lots of problems. We are trying our best and trusting that God will open the heart of someone to help us. Please! somebody help us. We really, really need help. I know that the Lord is going to gave this back to you double protion. Thanks, God bless. My email address is blue_butterfly36@yahoo.com. Thank you for your time.

new volunteer program

I am in the process of starting an volunteer program for university students to work with women and children in rural Latin America.  Are there grants that can help me pay for the expenses?
