Most of the bad things that have happened to me have happened in my childhood.  Being abused by my mom's boyfriend when I was 12, being sent to foster homes, her marrying him after she was told about it, not meeting by biological father until I was 13.  Since I've become an adult my middle child was diagnosed with a rare liver cancer at two weeks old.  She was given 8 rounds of chemotherapy and had 80% of her liver removed when she was 7 months old.  I was on stand-by as a donor because they weren't sure they'd get it all.  Although in the darkest hours it's hard to think God was really there, but He was and I'm stronger for it.  My daughter is a thriving "terrible" healthy 2 year old and I have a 8 month old son and a 5 year old son who are healthy too.  It's easy to lose perspective and be negative, but good things are just around the bend.

I think this country has gone over the edge as far as helping others.  My tax dollars go to pay for other peoples education and when I need money there is none for me.  I knew someone who got flown in from a different country to have heart surgery completely free of charge.  Would anyone in this country who works and pays takes get that for free ?? Hell no.  My own grandmother got money from the govt for being old.  She had never worked a day in this country.  I think those things are wrong.  The people who live here and pay taxes dont get as much as people from other countries do.

i went to job corps in sept 2001, it was an experience. i attended Flatwoods in Coeburn west virginia. i was a 21 high school graduate and some college and a three year old. i went to get away from everything that was going on in my life to find some directions and sort out what i wanted to do with my future. well it is really a "what you make it" kind of situation.  because there is kids there from all types of areas, family background, and dealing with different situations. it is kind of structured. i mean if you dont have a high school diploma then you go to school then to your trade. if you have a high school diploma then you go to your trade all day, and/or college. you go to lunch at certian times, but breakfast and dinner is all at once and by choice. you do have liberty on weekends to stay up late and go to other job corps for dances or to the movies or skating. you have to pay for this out of your allowance. the worse part is the interaction from some of th e students is not always positive. there is a lot of fights and arguements some times. i had to fight twice to prove myself and after that i didnt have to anymore. so just keep in contact with your boys, send them monthly items like magazines a little money, snacks, and personal items so that they dont have to spend save up 30 dollar checks every two weeks or borrow.

Well I have 4 kids and I'm a single mother. I can not work at the moment because I can not find proper child care for the two children that don't attend school.( I would love to be working) But here is the deal, Me and my kids are living in a small 2br, 1 ba home, you could donate about $2,500.00 to us so that we can pay the down payment on a new and bigger home. Charity I guess you could say, but I would consider it to be a blessing. Ty   latovat@yahoo.com

NO!\nIf your serious about helping do not ask for money. Spend a few years volunteering for an non- profit 501c3 organization that helps people in this country.Learn how the business functions in every aspect.Establish a good reputation and save your money. You can start your own non-profit organization and qualify for government grants and aquire private donations.You can tailor the provisions you make to what is in your heart.\nYou might also think of becoming a nurse that specializes in third world countries health needs. Travel and help them first hand.

I agree. My father was ill from the age of six. He did not go further than the fourth grade. He was able to get a job to support five children. My mother was a jerked over Amish woman. Since she was Amish as a child, she could not go further than eighth grade. They worked hard and struggled to support us. It would have been nice if they would have been such programs for them.

After years of moving around advancing my career, I finally decided to "Marry" a company and settle down for the long haul.  Like I told them during my interview, I was interviewing them far more than they were me as it was my intention to retire here.\n\nI'm being groomed for my boss's job who's own retirement will be in about 5-6 years.\n\nI have a beautiful fiance and thus far, my tenure here is looking pretty good.\n\nIn five years, I see myself in my first home, married to my beautiful Stacey and running my department.  I'm looking forward to having the roots that I've had to keep unearthing at the expense of the career.  Now, I've put my time in and can settle back and build the longevity it takes to become a Senior VP at one the world's largest corporations.\n\nOh yeah, it's coasting time Baby !    ;-)\n\nP.S. --\n\nVery thoughtful question.  Thanks for the opportunity to share.

Think of relocating  as here in Canada there are more oppertunities than ever and if 'it's' possible to start 'your' own organization all the better...just need some investers....and that is the key...investers and a REAL PLAN......Since 'you' are at home have 'your' parents and such INVEST' in 'YOU'.....( after all that is where TRUST and such START....)...

Red Cross is a good one to contribute to. I helped out doing insurance adjusting when they had the hurricanes down there. We drove from Minnesota to help the best we could and it seemed like there wasn't enough time in the day. I put in 16-20 hour days helping. It was all I could do. Your heart is in the right place. I admire you for that.

I think your problem is a "good problem". She has two good choices to pick from, so, in either case you will have a good outcome. \n\nThink about (a) location (b) working hours (c) promotion possibility and (d) what kind of bond/contract they have. Some companies have one year while others have a two year bond. The person-culture fit is important, but  it is difficult to find how well your daughter fits in the culture without working there first. \n\nMy advice is, pick the company on the location/working hours/promotion possibility and bonds/contracts. Remember that switching jobs is pretty easy if you have worked in any good company for a couple of years, and sounds like your daughter will do just fine with either one she picks. \n\nGood luck!

I can only speak about our situation here in Northern ireland but most Trusts have SW trainee programmes where you agree to work for them after qualification (although actually they cant make you stick to it!)\n\nContact the training and development section of your local authority and speak to the most senior person you can get. If you are already half way through your training and doing OK you should be a cheap and attractive option for them\n\nAlternatively send a letter into community care magazine and you should get a lead there. good luck

I'm in North Carolina, United States.  I am 38 years old.  In 2004, I got blisters on my feet from participating with my class in the annual field day.  The blisters got all infected and resulted in an amputation and a really nasty blood infection which zapped my kidneys.  I've been on dialysis ever since.\n\nI tried to teach while on dialysis, but I just didn't have the stamina to keep up with 19 first graders.  I love them dearly and I want them to have the best.  So, I've gone on medical leave and will resign at the end of the year.  It's so sad because I loved it and I was very, very successful.\n\nWhat am I doing now?  I'm going to school to become a Certified Internet Web Designer. I think I might design some educational sites for children.

I am also a "transplant" from up North.  Your best bet is to talk to people in your field.  Florida is a "right to work" state.  It's very different from up north.  You may very well have adjust your schedule a little to get in your field.  You will NOT get the money you are used to.  Join a local "group" or Church and TALK to people.  Most people here get work from "who you know"

Oh goodness!  This is a big endeavor, but worth the time and pain.  I have a friend who did it, and after 2 years, she's just now getting a salary--a part-time salary, that is.  It will vary by state and your cause (i.e. opportunities for grants), but I've linked a really good handout from an association for nonprofits in my state, as well as a resource list from Michigan State University.  It'll give you a good overview.\n\nGood luck!

If I could put a limit, after 2 years the check would be cut in half, 2 more years and you are ineligible for another 5-10 years.  I have know some people to be born with welfare dollars, live, raise kids, and die all on welfare, and their kids repeat the story.  there's no excuse!!!  I can understand helping the "down-on-their-luck" people, but not for 50 or 60 or more years...AND their children.
