you have a good concept and I believe with the right people involved, it would work. What I have been reading so far is a lot of people wanting a handout from the rich. If the rich give away their riches, then they will be asking for handouts as well. I have been reading some of the postings and I must say many of them are from amature and professional conartists and some are not. A site like this one does not stand a chance for something great to come out of it. My heart goes out to all of the sincere requests out here. "Money and Silver I have none, but what I do have (prayer) I give to all sincerel hearts out here. I will also pray that the evil thinkers find the light of God.

Sorry ,just was cute! LOL hope ya all have sense of humor!

I honestly have got to say that your comment bove is the smartest one I have seen on here.Now if only more people would realize what you say is a wise answer rather than dreaming for someone to come along and take away their problems.I just think chances of a millionare bailing you out people are really like winning the lottery.Anyhow get together and think of something like she has said.Anyhow Greta comment and god bless all,tho I do believe we have to just work extra hard to get through the bad times.Good luck to all god bless.

I know that your story is true I believe you I have an entirely different story. For your homeowners insurance you must not have has to pay for fire/ flood and such. My first instinct to this is that the red cross will never help you back on your feet. I am proud of you getting your feet on solid ground I know you can't sell your property for the value you once had. I also think its amazing how you managed to buy property at such a young age you must be very blessed. The bigger your obsticles are the greater your future is. Just keep trying it may not seem like a lot but even trees break through the chains, and cement. There are many times when I think its pointless, but I can't quit if I quit others will find it easy to quit too. I would need to talk to someone in that field of expertise in order to help you with your loss.

What are your needs fallen33? If we don't know what you need how can anyone offer to help? If I can help you in anyway I would be happy to...do you need your computer repaired? That I can do...legal advice? I am excellent at researching law...Furniture..i have 2 extra sofas sitting in my garage from my other house...That's about all i have to offer..but if you tell anyone.. You'll never give anyone a chance to try.

There are a lot of people who are trying to scam for money with a sob story but I sincerely hope you don't believe I am one of them....I don't think anyone could dream up what has happened to me..I know it does sound almost unbelieveable..so if anyone wants to verify...my housefire was in the Daily Herald paper on March 12, 2004 Here is the part of the article you can pull up on newslibray.com and do a search: Daily Herald - March 12, 2004 Fire kills dog in Elk Grove Village Investigators are looking into what caused a fire at a ranch house Thursday morning in Elk Grove Village.A neighbor called firefighters at 10 a.m. to report smoke at 51 Grange Road, said fire Capt. James Denna.No one was in the home at the time, but a small dog was killed.When fire officials arrived, they found the house filled with smoke. Firefighters were able to extinguish the fire in a back bedroom.The house was deemed uninhabitable... You can verify the 2 foreclosures on Cook County, Il circuit court and search for my name or property address and that will pull up both cases. And the sale of my home after the fire is posted on recent home sales in the chicago tribune real estate section as well..Actually you can pull up all three properties under my name 9054 Grand Ave, Franklin Park, Il 1211 Springdale...Elk Grove, Il and then 51 Grange. I hope that satisfies anyone who doubts anything I wrote. I never needed help to take care of myself and I never dreamed in my lifetime that I would end up this way...I worked from the age of 13 my father passed away when i was 3 and my mom is disabled. I grew up very poor and was determined not to end up that way. My home was my security and now it's gone.I bought my first home by myself at the age 22...I didn't think everything I worked for for 20yrs would be gone...and I can't seem to find my way back up again. I don't even want what I had....I just want to have enough to get ahead so I can wake up again without being sick with worry and complete despair. I don't know how to help myself out at this point I would appreciate any suggestions or thoughts?

I don't know how horrible someones life story must be to touch someone, when everyone has had it tough. How can one person measure anothers worth just by what they write. If I had to guess I know there are more needy than generous and in order for this to work something besides waiting needs to take place. I mean I would love it if some group wanted to hear why I was here so they could help me. But it seems like I don't want to share my needs unless I know who's looking to help. I don't want to compete with people who need just as much help as me. when we could help each other with information.

I have not seen where that is done here, at least as of yet. So far, it seems to be a place where alot of people (and scammers) come here either begging or seeking help just for themselves. There are a few who seek to help others such as silverman and a few others of us. Most are seeking money for themselves. You are right, people need to brainstorm on ways to become more self-reliant. Amazingly, some people may not want to hear that at this time. Keep reading the posts, you can draw your own conclusions.
