My husband and I live in winterset, Iowa due to our own financial instability we can not provide financial help to other's at the momment. However; we have six children between us and they are always outgrowing clothing and such. I would be most happy to provide a family in need with clothing, sizes I have varies so let me know what you need and I can try to come up with them. I also dabble in free lance photography and my husband and I are quite good artsts if our services could be used let me know.
We desperately need help to support or large extended family. We have six children in our home, 3 belong to my husband's ex (not biologically his) and 3 of our own. The Mother is court ordered to pay child support but doesn't. We had some car trouble and had to put it in the shop. It cost 1169.00 to fix and I had to borrow that from my parents. We are struggling to pay it back and keep up on housing bills. any little bit of help would be so greatly appreciated as we seem to be slipping further and further in debt. My husband and I both work and are doing our best, it just doesn't seem to be enough. Please if you can help us we would be forever greatful. We have tried DHS and the local multipurpose center but we are just dollars above the poverty line!
We are currently one month behind on our mortagage which is 1,025.55/mo
Utilities are due in the amount of 277.46
I still owe my parent 800.00 and they need it back soon. (they do not have the means to give us money)
We are doing all we can to keep it together, but it is hard being a large family in today's society. I don't even know where the groceries will come from next week. Nobody will help. If you know of ANY organization that may be able to help with the above bills please let me know. I am a good person and find it very hard to ask for the help I need, I know there are others that have it far worse than us. But I fear without help it won't be long until we slip through the cracks and won't be able to bounce back from this downhill slide. I assure you that as soon as we are on our feet again we will be donating to several others on this site and will continue to repay any kindness shown to us.

Things have got to get better, My husband and I work endless hours but still can't pay all of the bills. We have custody of 3 children that belong to his ex. (not biologically his) She refuses to pay child support and bills just keep piling up. We have three children of our own so a total of six. There is no aid available to us due to the fact that we work. The state actually told me that the best way for me to get assistance for the children would be to seperate from my husband! We don't need much our house payment is 1,125.00/month and currently we are one month behind. We had can troubles and had to pay 1,169.00 to have my van repaired. My husband drives a car that is on it's last leg and I don't know if we will be able to keep our family together if we lose our house. Finding shelter for 8 is a major problem. Please anybody out there if you can help My family would be forever greatful! If you can not afford to help with money, please your prayers will do.
I have a question, obviously due to my current situation I can not help with money for anyone on the site. But my husband and I have six children between us and there are many clothes that they have out grown, I have all different sizes and would be willing to give them to someone in need. Is there a way to search for specific needs on the site. My husband and I are also very artistic in drawing, painting and taking photos which I would gladly donate my time for any projects the site may need or want done. Please let me know if we can help.
I have six children most of them older but will gothrough the things I have and see if I have any baby clothes, I will also ask around. I'm sure I can find some things. Congrats on your upcoming delivery! Keep in touch.
