A personal story- once i had lost a great paying job got fired technically due to attendance. so i did not qualify for unemployment had a sick wife, and 3 childeren in our home including a newborn at the time. had 3 other childern outside the home we tried to support. constantly looked for a job but no one job lasted or paid much about or little over minium wage. i was kinda in a pickle, begging, asking, "borrowing" but could not pay back. and definately not giving to others- too poor and too broke. sound familiar. then for about 1/2 a year with no day job all of us lived just off a part time pizza delivery job. i refused to go hungry. with little food stamps and wic and free school lunches and pizza we were fed but still hurting for money for sure. then another jobless year and we be gan to help others when we could. people on the street gave a ride to or some change. and helped out family members with things. we did not have money but we were usefull. we have eyes, hands, legs and well you get the idea. motion, action leads to action. and 'karma" rewards. i continued to persue money in a positve light not a negative one. most days when i got money and used some or all of it for someone else without hope of getting it back, it was strange but then someone else would call me up or a check in the mail or gift card or something that just made that day ok. now i have a regular check comming in the mail or direct deposit and i will continue to use it for people other than myself and i some how comes back to me in spades. i cannot explain it but it is true. there is a great movie and book called "the secret" that explains it better than i could ever. one year i earned less that 14,000 with wife and 7 childern and we had a big thanksgiving, christmas and life improves year after year. we are not renting, we are buying our home using escererated mortguage payoff plan. our home and payments are tax free. and if we can then you can. any questions see my book ' Getting Control - The complete guide to getting yourself out of horrible debt. good luck!!!
see my other blog on Getting Control.
There are many ways to get free money
from government in grants , like social services, food stamps, medicare, workers comp, workers insurance for layoffs, free lunch programs with the schools, churches give to community groups.
start by visiting your social service office
if you are a veteran there are many housing and medical programs
catholic charities help people with rent when they have problems, but you have to have a job.
There are many non profit organizations for everything. from habitat for humanity for affordable housing to 2ND harvest for food programs
programs like free cycle is a giving program that recycles everything so it does not go to the dump. example a person gets a new washer and doesn't need the old one, but it works fine, in stead of throwing it away she puts it on free cycle and you call her and pick it up FREE.
I have pages of ways to save and make money in my book Getting Control, The Complete Guide to getting yourself out of Horrible Debt.
