Looking for condo./apt./patio home for my mother in Mesa/Tempe area!

Hello...I am looking for an inexpensive apartment in the Mesa/Tempe, Arizona area for my mother. She is on S.S., is in her late 60's, on AHCCCS and doesn't make very much...Below nine hundred a month. She has one dog, a Shih-Tzu, who weighs less that ten pounds. She is on the Section 8 list, but it could take a long time before she can get into a place-up to two years. I am hoping to find a nice, clean apartment for her and her dog Bailey, that is close to Tempe where I reside. She currently lives in East Mesa, and I would like to help her find a place that is closer to family. The trailer she is living in now is old/not in good condition. I am just wondering if there is something out there for older people, who don't make very much on their retirement, that the rent accomidates to what they get monthly? If anyone can tell me of any place like this, let me know? If you may have a condo. that you would like to rent out? My mother is a very clean(OCD type clean) person, she smokes but does so outside only, and her dog is her shadow. She will abide by all rules and regulations. It must be on ground level as she has health problems(back/disk problems,Fibro.)which make it difficult for her to go up many steps.
Please respond if you or you know of someone that has something that may be willing to rent out an apartment or condo./townhouse/patio home and my mother may be able to help you out also. Let me know! And I thank you so much for taking the time to read this!

Hi just needed somewhere to vent, I am a retired NYPD sergeant married for 22 years.  The past 4 years my wife has been battling Breast Cancer.  When first diagnosed we were glad they caught it early, but that  was a false hope.  It keeps coming back, this is now the third round of Chemo and this one is bad.  It spread to the bone and last scan showed some in the liver.  Our Doctor is great, but cancer is cancer, they don't know, they just keep trying different drugs.  Today she was crying on the couch, and I'm not good with crying, I don't think she can do another round if the next scan comes back with bad news.  This round was every week with a break every third week.  She is sick constipated and can't sleep needless to say she is depressed.  When I retired in 2006 I hoped she could find a part time job and so would I but now I am working full time again, and I'm tired too.  If it wasn't for my two girl 16 and 14 I think I would have just given up, money is tight but we do ok, had to borrow from my 401k twice but at-least I have a 401K.  I keep playing lotto but I think that thing is fixed (LOL).    Well I'm hoping that Bill gates reads this and pays off my mortgage but I doubt it...thanks for creating this site.

I am a 56 yr. old retired Firefighter on a disability pension. A year and a half ago we lost our health insurance--well we did not lose it it went fro 330 to 700--we just could not afford it. Well as luck would have it, i got sick-this infection thing took over and had to have surgery--took out a loan against my car, had the surgery, and because it took 3/4 of an hour longer than scheduled for they charged me an additional 4600 and it still has not healed.Then the fun started, my daughter informed us she was pregnant,she's 30. Later found out it was twins, and of course they all live with us, all my time and money(and it's not that much after bills) goes to helping them and i have dug myself into this whole. well decided to refi the house and then sell it--anyone looking to buy a 2500sq ft home in ohio---any way some times you just have to vent. I love my kids and my grand kids (3) and most of all my wife of 31 years. I will get thru this if it kills me. Merry Christmas to all !!!!!!!!!

Urgent Request  

Still In need of Financial Help

After posting my first ad on this site I have had many people contact me trying to give me a loan.But I have lost more money doing that. Each person wanted me to send them money in order to acquire a loan. So please be advised of these people offering to help in getting a loan. They are scam artists as well. I am not able to pay my electric and it will be turned off soon as well as my car payments are two months behind. I am a single mother and a victim of an internet scam (now three times) and I need help so badly. Please respond if you are honest and can really help me out.

Help in a time of need

Hello,

   Times here are difficult.  My wife died 2 1/2 years ago and along with it went over one half of our income.  So I cut back on most things.  I am about to loose my home unless I can come up with $6000 dollars to pay the back taxes on it and last Friday I got bad news of the death of my oldest son in North Carolina.  He was in the Marines.  Now I have to find a way to bury him.  Help is really need in these times of need.  I am on disability and have my youngest daughter living with me.  She is handicaped and unable to work a full work week.  So if anyone that could would help I would be forever indebeted to you

Comment: I am 76 years old woman and...

Note: This aidpage was started as a comment on "Aidpage of sunbeam"

I am 76 years old woman and am missing my 2 front teeth. and many cavities and in need of serious dental work. It is difficult to chew, my mouth is always sore. I am on a fixed income. and am in a lot of pain. Is there a possable grant for Dental implants and or dental work. I take a lot of heart and high blood pressure medicine, and it causes my mouth to be so dry and I am told that it might be hard if not impossable to wear dentures.  I guess I would just like to know if there is such a thing as a grant for Denist work. and how to go about it.

Need Help with Foreclosure of Home

I am a 60 year old who is in jeopardy of losing my home.  I got behind when I retired from working in January 2007 at 60 due to health problems and am too young to draw social security benefits.  I am ten payment behind and face foreclosure on April 20, 2007, if I do not get some help.  Is there anyone out there that has some answers for me.  I am scared and depressed that I will not have a place to live. 

I would appreciate any assistance, information and/or help that anyone could give me.  God Bless you.

Please Tell Me What To Do

I will be 73 years old in April, a retired computer (mainframe) programmer, and I'm trying to live on social security.  I depleted my IRA three years ago and have been struggling ever since.  I guess I'm a borderline poverty case; too poor to get along without help of some kind, but not poor enough to be a charity case.  It has simply come down to the fact that my monthly social security check falls short of covering my monthly bills.   Because of that fact, I had to declare bankruptcy, last year, and am now a bad credit risk.  Fortunately (maybe unfortunately) I retained a credit card which is still active and one which I can use in an emergency.  I'm receiving a little bit of aid from Medicaid which pays my Medicare premium.  However, my supplement is costing a lot.

My big problem, at the moment, is that the house I am presently renting is shortly going to be reclaimed by the owners who want to move back into it; therefore, I am going to have to move.  I can't afford the cost-of-living in this area, and I am trying to do research on areas that I might be able to afford to live.  I am in excellent health for a woman my age, but I'm afraid of what the future holds for me.  Is there anyone out there who can give me some advice?

Help Grandma  

Grandma

My Grandmother is a very good Lady, &  She needs  help  to buy a home before she becomes homeless.

Her rent keeps going up so high that she cannot afford to pay it any longer, she cannot work because she has back problems & leg problems.  She gets a small monthly check that does not stretch far enough, She has always worked & paid her own bills, instead of taking hand outs  she has always given hand outs.  She is a proud Lady and will not even take Food Stamps, or any charities.  She has always sent money  to the St. Jude  Childrens Hospital, but none she has none to give.

For 20 years of buying lottery tickets, her dream has been to buy a home with a yard for her Grandchildren to play in, and to never have to move again. These dreams have faded with the passing of time.Now she cannot even afford to buy one lottery ticket. With no money in savings,and only a small monthly check, nobody in their right mind  would give her a mortgage.

Grandmother is getting depressed  with life, and she says that she can no longer afford it. I pray everyday that God will help her with a Miracle !  I know there are good people in this world because my Grandmother is one of them. I'm  asking for help for my Grandmother,  and all I can give back is Prayers for all you wonderful  good people who can help by giving donations, any kind of donations wheather, cash, check, or money orders will be appreciated,  so we can help  my Grandma.  Thank You  &  God Bless You !

You can send those donations to :  Grandma      P.O. Box 263232,      Daytona,  Fl.  32126
