About moms-----my thought for today

I read alomost everyone's post.  I can sure relate to many of them.  I think it is pretty sad, when a country, such as ours has plenty of food and clothes.  The US has been a very wasteful and used to having good things and necessities for their family.  The working men and women who have lost their jobs, due to the economic downfall is a crying shame. The first time some of the factories "etc" starting going down, is when something should have been done by our politicians and president.  Each want to blame the other.  These are highly educated people but unfortunately, a lot of common sense should be used.  It does't take a rocket scientist to figure some of these things out. People who have never had to do without ( such as our politicians and wealthy, doesn't know how it feels...to send a child to bed hungry see th pain in their eyes. All children really want is love, shelter, food, safety and the on-going process of feeling important and  a big hug for a job well-done.  Plus the correct discipline.  My "opinion" I think progress on a lot of things that some people already have..like computers, cell-phones-games and tv's.  Trying to figure out what the heaven's is all about is a crock.  We need some of this research on outer-space because of weather situations and disasters.  My friends computer is 4 years old, and took awhile to get it paid off.  I always though there should not be as many wires and hookups falling around the desk.  Now they say this computer will be obselete i (not sure) a couple yrs or less.  Just like tvs. My family had an antennae when I was growing up.  Can't use those anymore, unless you ordered a certain box.  And if you have no cell phone "omg."  Yes, it's a good thing, if you have one....if used right.  I will need to go back to school, if I win the lottery, just to learn how al these new gadgets operate.  I'm lucky to try to keep a home phone, that I barely use. Some TV programs make me so sick. I can't afford cable, but for a small package deal, all the 100 channels are crap and not fit to watch.  Cartoons for children now, are sending the wrong message to children.  Some programs are ok, but all of it has to be paid for.  All that we here on aidpage, as I understand, Just need some necessities. It's a shame they don't have a program in every state on television, where the poor are being helped.  I would not be ashamed to be on it and lots of people would watch.  Some people love to give and help, it makes them feel good and so would I. Back to the computer, the new ones will have no bunch of wires and hookup.  Wow! they are so smart, but cannot figure out how to fix the economy...and keep needy families in a home by inventing new jobs.  And cutting the education system sucks.....thats what the education lottery supposed to be for.  Young people that can't find a job, some are turning to alcohol....by the way 2  abc stores in our small town.  Also, drugs.  Build something good and helpful.  There is only 1 small playground in our town...nothing in the winter.  I'm glad my 10 yr old grand-daughter loves to read.  Sorry everyone...not putting down our country, just how it's run.  Too many chiefs and not enough Indians.  Would't hurt them to take a cut in pay and sale a few of their houses to help the economy.  Last thing:  Our local news tells only a little on some crimes comitted, sports, weather.  Then...all about what is happening in Hollywood and what they wore and who won a emy and giving 1 million for a pair of shoes or dress, and who looked best.  I have no idles before me. #1 God and he love the poor.  The hollywood and larger things. are usually on international news.  God please help our country( if it be thy wil) Amen   GB moms

In addition, DHS helps clients obtain child support from absent parents. The Children, Adults and Families group of the Department of Human Services (DHS) administer the TANF program. Services to clients are provided through DHS offices across the state, which are operated by the DHS Community Human Services group.

About Kenneth029

My name is Kenneth. Last month my mother suffered a massive stroke. Between losing her household income and surmounting medical bills my wife, mother, three kids, and I are facing losing our rental home. Two years ago we lost a house and vehicle due to the economic downslide that seemed to hit everyone real hard and were very lucky to be able to get into this rental home. My income falls just short of being able to qualify for any state assistance and my family and I desperately need help to make up the rest of this months rent so that we do not become homeless. If there is any person or organization out there that could possibly help a family that is truly in need any help would be a blessing from God. I would also ask that if it is in anyones heart to offer up prayers for our family it would truly be appreciated. God Bless you all.

About HelpingmySis

Hi there, I am hoping someone on here can help me.  I am looking for some help for my sister's family for Christmas.  She and her boyfriend have 3 young children (ages 8, 2 and 6 mnths).  Her boyfriend works full time but only brings home enough money to pay rent and keep the electricity on and food on the table.  They have asked me to scour the internet for help with Christmas gifts for the kids.  Small toys or clothes, shoes anything really.  Gently used items are welcome as well. I do my best to help them out but I don't make a lot of money either so for the holidays it becomes hard.

 Can anyone point me to a charity fund or organization that helps out families in need at Christmas? We live in Phoenix, Arizona if that helps (sorry I didn't not look to see where this forum posts at).

 Thank you for reading and God Bless.
