Modest Needs

ModestNeeds.org: "Modest Needs gives free, no-strings-attached financial assistance to individuals who need help."

This makes me incredibly happy. It seems to be getting some good exposure (NPR) and the financials have been made public, so it'll be interesting to see how it does in the coming months. I really hope it succeeds, as philanthropy on the individual level is the only true philanthrophy ("... because a cause worth supporting is a cause worth conviction, / While corporate philanthropy is a cause for suspicion.").

I have been sick for months with Plurisey and severe migraines and
now I was in a bad car wreck a few days ago the panic attacks
I have a concusion and bruising on my brain and whiplash. I still am
unable to think straight and feel like everything is in slow
motion. . I am in a verty tough situation. I am not able to work
still and with three kids I do not know what to do. I am in need of
groceries very bad. Sorry to dump this on you guys but I am very depressed, sick, sore and very worried about
the kids I have my electric and water due next week also.. Email me off group please if you are interested in
helping. I have a kroger and walmart food store here if anyone could
help me I am in dire need. Things here are so bad. The kids not only
need food but clothing if anyone has any girls summer clothes size 7
or 8 or boys size 15 or 16 please let me know. I feel bad even asking
but I am in need of help and do not know where to turn. Tried signing
up for assistance but they told me it would be up to 45 days before I
could get help with food ... I have 3 kids and cannot wait .. I am
humbly asking for someone out there that could help me with food cards tp kroger or walmart and clothing for the kids please email me off group. I am too sick to read all the posts in the groups right now. I cannot get food stamps ... the story is way too confusing to explain .. so that is not an option for me.
email all responses to me at skeechkitty@yahoo.com
no this is not a scam or hoax. I am a mother of 3 kids who is in a bad situation at the moment and pretty embarrassed about the post but I am desperate. I didnt even think anyone would care enough to respond or they would think it was a scam or hoax like you did. I feel like my world is crashing not only am I sick ,but my insurance cancelled me and DMV found out so now I do not even have a drivers license and between the accident I was in and DMV now it will cost about 800 to get my license back. I was suspended and didnt know it so I got a ticket for that plus driving without insurance.... luckily I guess I was the only one hurt in the wreck. I hydroplaned off of I-81 and crashed but didnt involve any other cars. So I am not only sick and not at all feeling well , needing groceries so awful bad but now I cannot even drive or go back to work when I do feel better because I cannot drive and I live far off from any kind of bus.. Ok deep breaths ---- I dont know if you can help me ... but at least I got all this off my chest to someone. Thank you ... Julie

I will be on chemo (xeloda) and infusions (zometa) for the rest of my life. My husband left the state and moved to N.C. with his mom and he hardly ever see's or calls our boy's.I'ts heartbreaking but you have to stay positive for the children. I just had my 3rd reconstruction surgery o Jan, 16th at emory, still have one more to go. What I currently need help with is dental help, The chemo is eating the enamel off the top teeeth and I feel horrible just to smile. I have a bottom denture that doesn't fit. After surgery one of my Front teeth just crumbled at the top .I heard about you guys from susan rhodes at emory university. She is Dr. William Woods asst. Can you please email me back for any suggestions? I would appreciate it very much. I am 43 and don't want to be toothless, on top of breastless,baldness(which is growing back nicely}
I can't take much more, I'm usually a very positive person but my self esteem is going fast.

Hello,

I m writing you because I have not been ble to contact Modestneeds.org.

I am a breast cancer patient, currently in treatment. My cancer has come through my skin and is leaking. This causes me to leak through bandages and smell like decaying flesh.I am desperate. I have not been able to work steadily enough to support myself to keep up my rent and for proper foods. I currently take chemotherapy ( which makes me sick for days t a time) and along with my treatments, wound clinic appointments, and surgeon appointments,and sick days, I have not
been able to work steady. PLEASE HELP!!!!

Sincerely
Antoinette Clark
