I am just trying to check into grants for women. Regardless if they are married or single or grandma's raising grandkids. Just free grants for women in general. What is out there thats being offered to us ladies. What kind of a grants can women get? How many can she apply for at a time? Does it require repayment or are they totally free? Can they be used only in the state that you apply for them in? Or can she apply in 1 state , but use it in another state? Does it matter what you use the grant money for? Or does the money have to be used on only certain things? How can women find out if the said grant sites are trustworthy or are scams? Do you have to pay anything like S & H for any of the forms or can they be filled out on line. Do these said grants require info, like do they do background checks or credit checks or anything along those lines? Do the women have to have refferences when they apply for the grants? Is there a difference in the types of grants available to women. Are they just from private donations or are they publically funded or govenment funded? And out of the listed grants which are the best for the women to apply for? Do they need to hire a proffesional specializing in the area of the grants? So the women will know if it's the right grant for them. Also is the paperwork easily understandable? Does the said paperwork need to be filled out in legal terms like when you go to court for whatever reason the judge will not except it if the paperwork is not filled out in legal terminology. LOL well i guess these would be enough questions for now. lol Thank you anyone or everyone who decides to attempt answering any of this or all of thee questions i have posed here today before you . 
Hello. I am in a situation that I know I will never be able to overcome w/o some help from my guardian angel. I am a wife, mom, step-mom, Ninamom, & Grandmother. You see those 3 beautiful girls in my profile picture, the oldest is my baby and the other 2 are my grandaughters, all who I help raise. My hubsand & I have both worked very hard to support our family. But after his accident, our income DRASTICALLY decreased & we were forced to file for Bankrupcy. In 2002, my husband suffered his first of 6 heart attacks! He's a Diabetic w/heart problems & back problems & is struggeling w/depression & anxiety issues due to his inability to provide for his family like he used to. He takes 10 pills & 4 insulin shots daily which are not cheap! Due to his health he is disabled. I work full time as the office manager. Our combined income is barely enough to survive & w/costs rising, it is getting harder to live. Everything is past due or already cut off: 15k/medical; 5k/credit cards; $76/water; $122/propane; $176/phone; $201/cable; $70/electric; $1250/rent; $2483/IRS. Gas prices are killing me! I drive 45 miles to work 1 way just to have a job w/decent salary. I haven't been grocery shopping in 6mo, if I pay the rent or the bills then I can't afford to buy food! The worst is I have 8 payday loans of $300ea just from trying to make ends meet. This is what is really killing me! If I could get the $2400 to pay off those payday loans & not have to re-apply for them, I would be in such a better place! I've tried other loans but my credit sucks. No one is willing to loan a hard working woman some money for a reasonable mo pmt w/a fair interest rate w/o checking the credit! Yes, I am high-risk credit wise, but I have a good heart & a conscious. I'm not looking for a hand out, just a second chance. I feel like I am going to have a heart attack! I remind myself that no matter how bad we have it, someone has it worse. I am truly blessed in the way of family but unfortunately, that does not pay the bills, if it did, I'd be RICH! I've been thru many ups & downs w/my family & many scary situations. I have almost lost my husband a few times & we just lost one of our beloved Rottweilers, Nikita, a couple weeks ago to an unexpected, sudden stroke, I've been homeless, jobless, autoless, hungry, hurt, talked about, but something always gives. I always help people when I can. Me & my husband have the biggest hearts, especially when it comes to kids & animals. We've raised others kids, taken in homeless families & rehabilitated sick animals. My motto, ''Be Generous & You Will Be Prosperous. Help Others & You Will Be Helped.'' Proverbs 11:25. I believe there is a guardian angel out there willing to help me, maybe he/she will read this & agree to help me out in some way, every little bit helps. God only gives people as much as they can handle, so he must think I am a very strong person. I still have my faith & hope because if I let go of that, I fear that I will die. Are you my Guardian Angel?
