Find the Help You Missed

Image via Wikipedia     I thought that my second post of the year should be a review with links to the past posts that provide aid in the event that you have missed anything.  I am hoping sometime this year to be able to make a site map so that you can easily find something specific that just might apply for you.  To recap all of the benefits that are available here is a list for your convenience.  Hopefully, during 2011, I will find many more services that will help you to get by in these hard times.

My Christmas Present to You:  A New Job
Free Tax - Preparation and Assistance for Low-Income, Elderly, and The Military

These articles can direct you to places that really can provide help.  Please look into them and take advantage of them.  I wrote the article about getting help for home repairs and had a family member get over $7,000 dollars in free work from the government that she desperately needed, so I know that help is out there without having to go through all of the red tape.  My Christmas Present to You:  A New Job is a real place were you can write and make money.  You don't have to wait to get lucky and have someone hire you.  If you have got the drive, you can make your own money without having to depend on anyone else ever again.  I am between jobs in the medical field.  I made great money.  It is hard to get a job right now.  Writing online is something that no one can take from me or stop me from doing.  Getting a paycheck from google is a wonderful feeling, a sense of independence, but it requires a lot of typing and research.  Look into these things, they do not cost you a dime.  I have read about a lady that had nothing and used the internet at the public library to learn how and do this.  Where there is a will, there is a way, so don't give up.  May this year be better a better year for us all.

Help with the Water Bill is Harder to Find

With some diligent searching, I was able to find a few sites that offer assistance. Most of my queries turn up suggestion on ways to decrease future water bills, which I will get back to later in this article. First, you could check with the Water Company and see if they offer a hardship plan or a payment plan for arrears. Some states offer assistance, but it is very limited. Next, you should contact your church,, or churches in your area, to see if they have a benevolence fund to assist with utilities. You can also contact the United Way and they can direct you toward organizations that can help. If you are not on a federal assistance program and you can usually meet your monthly payment, you can go to http://www.modestneeds.org/ and fill out an application. They are an organization that helps out those who by unforeseeable circumstances have fallen behind in their bills and just needs a little help to get back on their feet. That have grants up to 1,000.00 available. You can also receive assistance from American Water in the form of hardship grants, monthly service discount, and complimentary water-saving devices along with education on conserving this valuable asset. You can go to there website at http://www.amwater.com/ to see if your in one of the participating states or you can contact their Customer Service Center at 1-866-736-6420 for more information. To learn more about water conservation go to www.epa.gov/watersense. Watersense, which is a partner assistance program sponsored by the EPA, encourages water efficient products bearing the Water Sense label that can save you up to 20% on your water bill. You can also visit http://www.greenerchoices.org/ to get the Green Ratings for the most water efficient appliances.

Here is wonderful site for people helping people.

While surfing the net late one night I had ran across this interesting social networking site. This site is about people helping people by contribution, or by pointing those in need to the right resource, or simply by being there to listen. They have a sound tracking system in place to make sure funds are not being mismanaged and monetary gifts go to what they are intended. They also provide users with a way to build an income while providing help and advice to others. You can find this site at http://www.aidpage.com/. If you use this site, please provide our readers with some feedback of how helpful it was to you.
