Get a job at McDonalds.  Just because I go out and make money for my family, what right do you have to CHOOSE to not work and take MY money?\n\nYeah, you're a bum...with an internet connection.  Get a job.

You should be looking for a job rather then be on the computer looking for people to just hand you down money.  I understand that your in a bad situation...but there are things that you could/should be doing.  \n\nTry this site post something there and see if you get anything given to you.\n\nwww.craigslist.org\n\nJust find your city and you can post there.

Maybe you can get a consession from your school. you kno, people without good financial conditions most probably get those things. You can get a job or maybe walk you neighbor's dog?

Unemployment is near record lows. Papers are filled with ads. You need to get off your butt and apply for those opportunities . . . or move to a different community with more opportunity. \n\nP.S. You will learn a great deal by working for someone else in a good job. They you will be more ready to start your own business. Get out of retail!

Sorry, but I work for my own money. And thanks to the levels of freedom in this country, I can do what I like with it. And that includes giving it away to your version of an unworthy cause.\n\nHave you ever talked to a homeless person? Or some teenager on the street begging for quarters? Do you know what kind of shame and embarassment these people have to endure every time they have to look someone in the eyes and ask 'Any spare change mister?'\n\nAnd despite popular belief, homeless people, and kids living on the street are not just too lazy to get a job, they are not just too stubborn to do what they are told and go back home to live with their parents (for the kids). Not everyone who is homeless chooses to be homeless. Have you ever heard a 6 year old kid in an elementary grade class telling his teacher that he wants to grow up to be a homeless person, begging on the street to earn a living? I never have, and I doubt that anyone else has either. People don't want to be poor, they don't want to be homeless, they don't want to go to food banks, soup kitchens or beg for change either. But it's something that these people have to do in order to earn a living. Most of them are NOT alcoholics or drug dependant either.\n\nSo, get a job, go on welfare or something? Yeah, nice idea. But a little known fact about social assistance is that you have to already have an address to get some money. How do you pay rent with no money?? And how do you apply for a job when you have no address, no telephone for them to reach you? It's hard enough just to stay clean, considering that you don't have access to a shower or anything like that. Have you ever wanted to work with someone that smelled like old garbage? Probably not.\n\nHave you ever thought of what you might do if both of your parents were killed in a car accident? What if you had no other family to go live with? At 16 years old, could you fend for yourself? Or what if your parents didn't die. What if instead, they split up and neither of them wanted you? Then your mother moves across the country and leaves you with your 'dad'. He gets sick of your shitty attitude almost right away and kicks you out on the street because you're too much trouble to deal with. Without ever having graduated from high school, what do you do now?\n\nAside from that, there are plenty of homeless people that have become criminalized just to prevent themselves from freezing to death in the winter. I actually met a man who would commit a petty crime every year around October just so that he would have a warm bed and daily meals inside a prison for the winter months. But he wasn't a criminal. He did those things because he didn't have access to any other way to keep himself alive. He didn't know how to make the government programs work for him rather than against him. And with a criminal record, it became near impossible for him to get any kind of job, even one paying minimum wage.\n\nWith many cities making anti-panhandling legislation, even asking someone for spare change has become a criminal act. Do you realize that it is a crime to be poor? People treat you like dirt almost everywhere you go, and you develop a nasty suspicion that every time the police are around, they are there to do something to hurt you. Besides, you really think that it makes sense to give someone a fine for pan-handling when the reason they do it is that they already have no money?? What kind of sense does that make?\n\nAs for fining people that give poor people money, that is also an unfair idea. It's not against the law for you to give your money to the Heart & Stroke Foundation is it? Who has the right to say what I should consider worthy of my hard-earned money more than I do?? Hopefully nobody!\n\nAnd take some free advice: take an afternoon, walk down the streets where some homeless guy has had the nerve to bother you looking for a handout and take a minute to TALK TO

Are you still Talking the "JOBS AMERICANS WONT DO" Bullshit.I like millions of other poor americans have done the very work people claim only immigrants do.Ive always done what i has too, to put a roof over my head and food on my table.Yet ive actually worked for less and payed taxes on less wages.Have you ever seen what happens to a $200 check after taxes? I have.It works out to be less than the cash jobs alot of illegals do.Are you blind or do you not even realize there is such a thing as "Poor Americans"

Since I don't know your situation firsthand, I can only offer up some avenues to explore.\n\nHave you exhausted all of your possible federal and public assistance possibilities?  You may be eligible for unemployment benefits, social security, medicaid, medicare, food stamps or childcare programs.  Consult a local social services center for more information on programs and how to qualify.  If you can at least get food stamps, the rest of your income can go towards other needs.\n\nIf you're not eligible for federal or state aid, then you might want to look for private sources of emergency funding, like churches or a local crisis center.  Many larger churches have special programs for emergency food and money. It should only take a phone call to the main number to get information.  Church affiliation is usually not a requirement for consideration.  They may also have a food pantry and facilities for childcare.\n\nIt's not easy to ask other people for help, especially if you've prided yourself on your independence for years.  Cancer is a slow moving disease and things tend to accumulate over the years.  The loss of your grandchildren is a burden shared by your entire family, so allow them to help out whenever they can.\n\nThe reality is that more money is the only real solution to financial troubles.  Where that extra money will come from may seem like an insolvable puzzle right now, but you might find something you can do to raise it yourself.  Some people have made good extra money by selling items on Ebay, for instance.  There are websites with leads on legitimate stay-at-home jobs you can do in your spare time.  Some people create crafts and sell them at weekend flea markets or arts&crafts shows.  You could pick up extra work as a substitute teacher or babysitter or delivering newspapers.  Look at your circumstances as a way to pull yourself up and rejoin life after your recent tragedies.\n\nGood luck and God bless you and yours.

If we start legalizing immigration we are going to have another depression. What employer is going to pay an american the wages they are if they can get someone from another country to to the same job for much less. We need to start worring about what is happening in our own country. We have homeless, starving people right here in our own country. \n men and women have fought for the freedom we have here in the GOOD OLD USA it time theses people start fight for their own freedom in their own country
