Hello everyone, My name is Jeffrey Kemp, I am currently going through a divorce, and I am a father to my wonderful 7 year old son. Me and his mother were not able to be together, due to major incompatibilities, and we had to make the choice to end our marriage. Shortly after, I struggled hard to find work, and began college, because my son is my world and I needed to find a good job to take care of him. I graduated from college and have had a degree for about 6 months. After our separation, I moved into my parents for guidance and support to help get me back on my feet. I had no car, money was rough for them, and I was left frustrated as to how to pay for my son's child support. To make matters worse, my own parents, who were my backbone and help, ended up in a divorce of their own. Setback after setback, I am left shattered wondering how I will make it to a job if I was to receive one, when I can barely afford to live myself. I am lucky and thankful to at least have a place to stay, and I am able to have food, but where I am at that's all I can be helped with. I am such a dedicated person, I want to have a good life and work hard, especially for my little boy. I just wish there was some help out there somewhere that could give me that little "boost" to get my life started. There are a lot of fathers that give father's like me a bad name...there is a lot out there that don't pay the support because they don't care. When I have always cared, and always wanted to strive to be a better person. I at least have some hope now when I came across this website. I know that one day when my hard work and dedication pays off, I will be able to help someone else who is in a hard position as my self. I know how hard and painful this situation can be. Thank you for your time, hopefully I explained my story the best that I could.

I am a hard working (or was anyway) young woman that has tried from the moment I could work to plan for a better future for myself.I finished high school early began working in a nursing home laundry at the age of 17 and paid for drivers training and my first car at age 18.Ive made some mistakes along the way and put my trust in people that would only prove to not deserve it.Ive been helped before in bad times from people who can only be discribed as having the biggest hearts and I think Ive also helped many people who needed nothing more than someone to listen to them. I was raised to get by with what was available but Ive found recently that theres not much available anymore.Im engaged to a wonderful man who is always full of motivation even when things are looking the darkest. We are in a dark time right now and while I am here to recive whatever financial help we can get,I also apriciate any emotional support and am certainly going to try my best to return it.Thank you for taking the time to find out who I am and maybe even seeing what you can do to help.

hi i dont know how to start this off but i will tell you that i am a single mother of 6 kids and 2 grandaughters. yes i do have problems making ends meet and it has not been the most easiest thing to be a single mother and work 4 jobs at a time to put food on the table.  I am not trying to have a pity party for myself because i have had enough of those in the past nor am i trying to make anyone feel sorry for me because i believe that no matter what there still is hope left in me.  i am sitting here writing this too you after being turned down from asking to take some of my money out of my retirement fund because me and my children dont have any food and i am hoping that i have enough gas to get to work for the next couple of days. i have had my share of sad days too many and sometimes it is enough to make you want to quit but you can't i believe in my heart somthing good is around the corner for us all we just have to give God our heart and have faith. right now i can not tell you how hopeless i felt when i was turned down for getting a portion of my own money because they said  not having food is not an emergency it is either food or pay some of my bills, i know that in everything there is a lesson to be learned im just trying to figure out what is the lesson in this of not being able to fully provide for myself and family. Im thinking that whoever said that must have never went to bed hungry and never went days without eating. I want to have a better life and i am not afraid to believe that i can,  what i dream about is owning my own successful business and owning a beautiful mansion and reaching out to people and inspiring them to show them that if a single woman can do with six kids and the odds are against her then so can anyone else. i have no business knowledge but i know what i want to do and i am trusting God to bring  honest people into my life. i live in a home where the ceiling has fallen through several places and lots of water damage.  sometimes it is so hard to look at the situation im in and believe that things are going to get better but i have to believe and i speak it everyday that things are going to change. So i guess to top it all off if anyone can give me any ideas of how to get my self more together or who can put me in touch with some positive people that can get me going in the right direction i would really appreciate it.  please call me at 269 579 3567
