San Diego, Ca
We are a military family with 2 kids living in San Diego, CA.
My daughter will be turning 8 on Sept. 28 and is hoping for a 20"
bike and some littlest pet shop toys. However, last week we had
to spend our extra money on fixing the car. I would love to give
her a great birthday but it is hard on a tight income. My husband
who is in the Navy attends college full time and I also go to
college full time and volunteer full time in our community. I don't
work outside the home because our kids have had their Dad gone so
much they need to know that I am always there, so we try to live on
a tight budget but that allows us to be a close family.

Ft. Hood, TX
Hello to all and I thank you for taking your time to read this.
My name is Rebeca and I am married an active duty soldier serving
in the U.S. Army. We have two kids a four year old and a newborn
baby and are stationed in Ft Hood,Tx. We are having a tough time
paying our truck payment and need help,this is our only vehicle.
Daycare is so expensive and its hard finding a job with only one
vehicle and that is the reason why im a stay at home mom. I have
tried deferring some payments but the company says they are not
giving any at the moment. If anyone out there is kind enough to
help us out before they repo the truck we would be very greatful.
We are three payments behind at the moment , we have been paying
what we can every month. Our ac went out and needs some other
repairs but we are not focused on that right now we just need to
catch up on those payments. Thanks so much everyone

Chapell Hill, NC
My husband is Kenneth O'Connor. He recently retired at 21 years in the Navy.
My husband spent his last 5 years in the Middle East, and was just hired as an
independent contractor for the Army, to do another 5 years. All his time and
training was finally going to pay off for us and our daughter, however on his
first day of his 2 week training he started a stomach ache, ended up passing out
and long story short he has been diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer. There were no
warning signs and 2 large blood clots ended up rupturing the spleen causing
internal bleeding which is why his stomach was hurting. Now he is hospitalized
once again after coming down with pneumonia. His liver is very diseased with
many tumors, and a large mass in the colon. They say it's rare but he has 2
forms of cancer growing at one time in both the colon and liver with metastatic
to the nodes. He is not able to get Radiation or Chemo and he is too far to do
surgery. Ken is only 45, no family history of cancer, never smoked or drank.
I have had to give up my job as he has numerous appointments to attend (UNC
Chapel Hill where he sees the doc's is 4 hours one way for us), and he is weak
and vomits daily. We find ourselves in a place that we never expected. If the
only help we receive iswords of encouragement for him, I welcome it. Ken wants
to give up, wants to die. He says as a CTR1 he has found himself in many very
bad situations but was always able to "get out" however with this he is boxed
in with no way out. We have a 12 year old daughter and live 3000 miles from our
families. We will somehow find the way to get the bills paid, I pray. Please
let him know someone cares and send cards or something. He only has "months" to
live. Thanks, Julie O'Connor
UPDATE: Mr O'Connor passed away on 8/11/2010

Ft. Campbell, KY
Hello, I am currently deployed to Afghanistan and my husband and two small
children (5 and 4) are in Ft. Campbell. Our home recently was broken into
and and "ran sacked". My husband has no one in Ft. Campbell and wants to
move back to Virginia with his family so he can have a little help with the
kids and life in general. My little girl will be starting school around the
end of August. My husband has been having a lot of trouble dealing with all
the bills and me being gone so we paid for his mother to come and visit and
help. Doing this put us behind on the bills and needless to say the fact
that our home was broken into has scared my husband and children.
We are looking for any help that we can get to help with school supplies and
school clothes for my daughter. Help would also be greatly appreciated to
help with catching up on the bills. I don't go on leave until October and
they are scared to stay there anymore. If you could help us it would be
greatly appreciated. Thank you so much

are having money issues due to my medical problems. About 2 and a half years

will have for the rest of my life. I am not able to work and haven't for the
last two years. We have two wonderfull children 10 and 3. At this time we are
not able to pay our bills and are hardly able to put food on the table. I
have been a burden to my family finically and emotionally. I am not able to
do things with the kids and help out around the house. We have maxed out our
savings and credit cards with medical bills and just trying to pay are other
finacial obligations. If anyone has any information on how I can get some
help with this please let me know. We live in the state of Wyoming and my

Ft. Mill, SC
I am requesting consideration to put a post on your site for some helping
hands for our soon to arrive, baby girl...
My name is Lisa, wife of E-5 K. Baker, Vet, of HOO-RA!!! U.S. Army. Me and
my family have been facing financial difficulties for some time now. Due to
downsizing, my husbands work had to cut back his hours so dramatically that
he had to seek employment elsewhere. He tried to stick with them for as long
as possible, hoping things would get better, but we ended up losing our home
in Columbia, S.C. He has since found another job, and with a little help from
friends found a smaller, more affordable home here in Ft. Mill, S.C. Although
the pay is alot less, we are meeting the basic needs of our family of four.
Because of the circumstances, I am here asking for help with our soon to
arrive baby girl. I am 7 months pregnant and we have nothing for her to come
home to, or in for that matter. I am very thankful that we can pay our bills
and that we have food, but there is no money left to buy a crib, carseat, and
all the many things that a baby needs. Help with her necessities would be
such a great relief and a tremendous blessing to us. Thank you so much for
the opportunity to have your consideration of our plea and for taking the time
to read this. Bless you all, and please be safe during these difficult times.
More help is needed....

Ft.Hood, Tx
We are really struggling financially right now. My husband got deployed last
week to Afganistan and this is our first deployment. We have gotten so far
behind on our bills because of all the expenses we had to spend out before he
left. He had to buy everything and he has only been gone a week and has
already had to spend $200.
Our checkbook is in the negative and he doesnt get paid till next week. We
are in desperate need of help. We are behind on almost everything and if I
don't make a car payment by next week they are going to come and take it.
I'm so upset and I don't want to tell my husband because I know he has enough
to worry about being over there and away from us. If anyone could please
help us, we would really appreciate it. It's been hard on us since he has
left and I dont want him to worry about us. Thank you!!!

North Carolina
I need help, I need travel help ( help covering travel costs,) and/ or a
donated/reliable car so I can travel from upstate NY to NC to be with and
help my wounded soldier ( Sgt. in ARMY since 1992,shot down in Afghanastan
in '07) his recovery is long and he is alone and shouldn't be.( he has TBI,
severe PTSD among other problems, he gets incapacitating migraines, memory
lapses and other numerous issues have arisen since injured.
I have been struggling to afford to go see him since David returned from
Afghanastan just to be able to see him, let alone spend time with him. help
him recover, be there for him.help him in every way I can, including Moral
support.. I ache to be there, lotsa times I couldn't be when I should
have been with him, like seeing him off, or welcoming him home. We haven't
had a Holiday, Birthday nor Christmas together in many many years, he is
very self sacrificing, giving up his time so other Military members can be
with their families, even giving up leave and extending tours and deployments
in order to do so.
Now, he needs me to be there with him, regularlly and often. I have flown
at times to see him, it has now been 6 months since I was able to go, the
costs are high, I can't take much with me, it's risky- let alone risky to
my own health.
I shouldn't really be flying ,due to health issues. I live on a low fixed
social security income, and it is barely enough to live on, I don't even
buy clothes I need, I scrape all my change up to try to be able to travel
to NC and come home. Driving myself, if I could obtain a decent vehicle
would be more affordable, less stressful,and make travelling to help my son
a mother's dream come true.

Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri
Hello,
My name is Allie Walker and we have a total of 5 in our family. In the past
3 years my children have attended 3 schools. We are moving again in a few
weeks. My husband has 22 years in and he requested a 10 month extention so
that my oldest daughter could attended the same school for 11th and 12th
grade. The military denied the request. So now my children will attend 4
different schools in less than 4 years because of the military. Also we are
having to pay for our deposit for where we are renting from, our van is acting
crazy and really needs some work, 2 of my three children need braces and when
my husband retires we no longer have dental insurance so we will be paying out
of pocket for them, we have to pay deposits for the utilities and our furniture
is falling apart. We have moved so many times that my children have no friends.
They have no best friends. If someone would be willing to even loan us the
money to help with the deposits that would be appreciated. God Bless Allie Walker

Ft. Carson, CO
Hello there. My husband is currently an E3 in the Army. We just got relocated
about 2 months ago from Baltimore, Maryland to Fort Carson, Colorado. Our son
was born with a cleft lip and palate. He has had his lip fixed, and his cleft
palate closed. He has a lot more to come. His teeth are sensitive, in fact
one dropped completely rotted. It's part of the course with a cleft, according
to his doctors. Since we've moved to Colorado, we've fell on some tough luck.
Our car was broken into, and completely destroyed. We needed two vehicles with
the doctors appointments for our son, so we've made some tough calls. We've had
to cut back on everything, and we've gotten to the point that we can't even
afford gas in the car, or enough for everyone to eat. We make sure that our son
has everything he needs, which means cutting back on things we need for him. We
are thankful for everything we have. I'm afraid that we don't have enough to cover
things such as rent anymore...let alone my sons dentists bills. We are in need
of any help... clothing for our son, food, gas, anything that you could spare.
I feel as if I'm doing everything I can, as does my husband, and we just can't
make it. Our son deserves everything we can offer him, and more. He's been
through so much... we appreciate anything and everything that is offered. Thank
you from the bottom of our hearts for reading this, and God Bless. I've attached
pictures, before and after, of our son as well. He is now three, and doing well...
but there's so much more ahead of him.

my sons. We have nine adorable children. We left the dentist office the
other day and found out that the two older boys, casper (13) and chance (12)
are going to need braces. Chance needs more work then casper and his is going
to cost us $5000 and Casper's will cost $3500. We are going to try and ortho
work on casper without doing the entire braces. But poor chance has alot of
work to do on his, braces wise. We have dental through tricare and as some of
you know they will only pay about 30%.
You can look it up online for more information. We are asking for help to
pay for his braces. We have already started with the spacers and we are
working up to getting the brackets on. If you need more information from me
please please please email me and ask. I can send you pics of his teeth or
i can even give you the dentist information or whatever you need to verify
the braces. I am not asking for the money to be sent to me directly. You
can get the dentist information from me and pay directly to them.

Bellville, Ohio
For the past 2 years we have been struggling very hard to make ends meet. My
husband is a Army Reserve Sgt Combat Medic who before deploying to Iraq Aug of
2007 had a decent paying job with a construction company. after his year long
deployment he returned home Aug of 2008. He then tried to return to his civilian
job but after some phone calls to do so. But coming home t the economy the shape
that it was he then learned that his employer closed his business leaving my
husband with out a job and now unemployed.We had t live on my receptionist
income and his little bit of unemployment for a year causing us to fall behind
on EVERYTHING. He was not able to find a job until May of 2009 working as a aid
at a hospital 3 days a week. We have been slowing trying to crawl out of this
hole but the income is no where near what it used to be.
My husband will be deploying again this fall and sadly to say we are looking
forward to is just so we can have the extra money to pay our bills. right now we
live on a very tight income and are constantly robbing peter to pay paul. we do
not make enough to cover our bills right now. This month we are way behind on
our electric and our Gas bills, struggling to pay our 2 boys lunch money for
school none alone putting groceries in our house. So if anyone could help with
Gas and Electric bill and any food would help.

Please put my request on your military familes for help and assistance Thank you.
Hi, My name is Dawn. I am married to Michael Byars, he is a Staff Sargeant
stationed at Camp Pendlenton. I was born with a bad heart. I am 34 and have
been given less than one year to live. We found this information out while my
husband was away in Afghanistan. Michael had to come home from Afganhistan
and now I am at UCLA in LA, on the Cardiac ICU FLoor Level 1A awaiting a
heart transplant. Michael is at my bedside everyday. I cannot leave the
hospital until a donor heart shows up. We live in San diego and still have
to pay for our aparmtent and bills there.
But we are receiving donated assistance to live in LA with apartment costs as
it will be for 2-12 months. With short notice we are not financially ready to
deal with everything. Michael and I are in need of "Food" and "Gas" cards to
help us live in LA. Any kind of gift cards to buy groceries and to buy gas
would mean so much. We only have $30.00 in our checking account. This help
would be a blessing for us, so that we can focus on the heart transplant and
not financial difficulties. I want to thank you all, please pray for me. May
God Bless you all!!! Love to all...

Ramstein AFB, Germany
am a concern mother, I am TDY to Seoul Korea, as a Developmental Chef, and
I am getting phone calls from my son who is SSgt Elton R. Coston. He and
his family were on vacation, in London England, his wife Shakira and twin's
daughter Daijah and London who are 3 months, during the volcano erupting in
Iceland.
The problem is they cannot get back home to Ramstein AFB, because of flight
restrictions. We are watching television just like everyone else in the
world and we are being told European countries can resume airline traffic
in "caution zones" where the threat of ash is considered less dangerous.
Therefore, what does this mean, not sure?
First, they have are broke and frustrated, the hotel they were staying raised
the rate. Therefore, they had to take a train, and bus to Mildenhall AFB.
They have a place that is costing them 42.00 at night (they are broke).
That trip was over 8 hours, with traveling with two babies.
Here come the kicker, the Air Force is not doing a thing to help, I have sent
them money. Nevertheless, there is only so much that I can do for them. It
is 4:05 a.m. in Korea, as I am writing this letter. I got a can call from
them at 3:00 a.m., this morning telling me that the Mildenhall AFB has a bus
to Germany that is going to cost them $800.00 (they are broke), they are also
charge them for the babies, also they do not have car seat.
He keep getting calls from his leadership at Ramstein AFB, Germany who by the
way the flight line is closed, tell him he need to get back ASAP, this is
more pressure on him. What happen to taking care of you Solider, Airman he
is willing to give up his life for his country, what is his country doing for
him, but putting more pressure on him during a Natural Disasters, that was
not planned by him.
In addition, they have a flight that should get them back home on Thursday 22
April 2010 around 1730. They are stranded and now he is apprehensive about
the repercussion of not getting back on time, who is to say when on time is.

was diagnosed with torticollis and positional plageocephaly. He is
need of a cranial helmet and physical therapy. It is going to cost
$2000.00 and we must have it by April 29, 2010. We ran into a little
problem with our insurance and they will not cover this helmet. They
label it as a cosmetic procedure. We have all the paperwork where it
says this device is medically necessary, but the insurance still
refuses. This condition has set Jaxson back in his learning process
and if not fixed by the time he is 1 it could lead to surgery. We are
in need of any kind of help. Thank you and God Bless!!

Ft. Stewart, GA
My name is Jennifer Fredlund-Adams. We are currently stationed in Fort Stewart
GA . My husband is an E4/SPC in the Army and is currently deployed to IRAQ
for as 12+ month tour.
I am currently struggling financially and am having issues with making ends
meet for my four children. I am embarrassed to ask for help of a program
that I do not participate in , but the MOM program of San Diego at home heard
about the great things you do out here and they gave me your info to see if
you could help us out in any way.
As I said my husband is deployed. I have four children ages ranged 18, 11,
7, and 2. I have one that is autistic and has 1 with ADD, two that just had
surgery one for a cancerous growth and 1 for a hearing problem. Then I have
a 2year old with sever skin issues and causes her pain, itching, and loss of
sleep...me too. The 18 year is not living at home at the present time, he
went back to CA. So it is hard with out him here for some sort of adult help.
It has been a struggle to keep food on the table with all the doctors
appointments off post to drive to (1 hour away) and paying for all the
non-formulary drugs that the doctors are prescribing that our insurance does
not want to cover, which is costing me nearly $500 a month in co pays. I am
new to Georgia and do not have any friends or family here for support. I
have spoken with the Army and my husband' command..it just seems like pulling
teeth for them to help one of their own, especially since my husband is
deployed which I find so sad.
I am just in need of any assistance, food, gas, monetary help for vehicle
repairs. I have 2000 Dodge Caravan that is in desperate need of new tires,
and many repairs (oil change, serpentine belt change , power steering flush,
new radiator) that I just cant seem to afford with the children's health
needs. But then this is my only vehicle and I need to get it repaired so I
drive the hour off post back and fourth for doctors appointments.
I know this is asking so much and I am greatly saddened that it is come to
this for me, but as I said the MOM program in San Diego CA told me that they
obviously would love to help me but I don't live there anymore and maybe your
program could.
If you could please let me know if your program helps the families of the
soldier in need, I would greatly appreciate it. God Bless!!

and then they have several doctors that are local. But with
the husband having to travel to go to work they do not have
the money to get the car fixed. Please please please get as

they went to Navy Relief and got turned down due to the year

My Husband is stationed at Ft. Stewart, GA, but deployed to Iraq
on December 14, 2009. My children and I chose to move back to our
home state of WV so that we would have the support of family while
he is gone. We are living in a rental house that has had numerous
problems with the furnace, resulting in a severe gas leak on
December 15, that left the house uninhabitable for 9 days. We were
finally able to return to our home on Christmas Eve. (what a gift
in itself!) We rented the house in October 2009 as soon as we became
aware of his deployment. We've never been a day late with the rent.
On January 1st, I paid a pro-rated amount of $480 (our rent is $675)
assuming that I had the right to do so given the days we could not
reside here due to the gas leak. The landlord disagreed and has now
evicted us. While I have spoken to an attorney concerning this and
he has assured me they will not win in court, this has become a very
volatile and stressful situation for the children and I, and has my
husband worried sick about his family at home. We can not only not
afford an attorney to fight this, but do not have the funds to pay
first months rent and deposit to move. We are a proud family and do
not ask for handouts, but at this point I have no other option. We
desperately need a loan to cover the expenses of first months rent
and deposit until we can file our tax return at the end of the month.
Not a donation or a gift, but a LOAN. We do not have very good credit
to secure a loan on our own. I have found another home for our family
that rents for $650 a month, with a security deposit of the same amount.
Our total needed would be $1300. Any guidance or assistance with this
would be greatly appreciated!

I am emailing because my family and I need emergency help.
I am a sgt in the army about to deploy to afghanistan.
Last week(right before christmas) our heater for the home
broke. I have had several different companies come out to
give an estimate and they all said that my 21 year old unit
was outdated and obselete. I have tried to get a credit card,
financing through one of the heating companies, sold my truck,
even pawning my own possessions to make enough money to get it
replaced with a simple new home heater, nothing fancy.I am not
behind on bills, make all my payments on time, fulfill my
financial obligations but due to all my bills, I have no extra
money left over any month to save up enough to get a new heater.
I don't want my family to freeze this winter because I simply
can't make enough money to provide. All I am asking for is
that someone loan me the money to let me get a new heating
system and I give my word that I will make payments to them to
pay them back 100% in full, with interest if necessary.If anyone
out there can help me I would appreciate it so much, I don't
care so much for myself, but I don't want my family to suffer

obviously would love to help me but I don't live there anymore and maybe your
program could.
If you could please let me know if your program helps the families of the
soldier in need, I would greatly appreciate it. God Bless!!
