Simply posting on Aidpage makes you an Aidmate. Aidmates take part in something larger - a new worldwide public place where people see each other and help each other... with no fuss... and no need to work through organizations with all their rules, overhead costs, bureaucracy, and political agendas. On Aidpage, you are totally free to ask for help... or offer help... with no need for "proving" or "reporting" anything to anyone. Basically, there is no "process" on Aidpage.

We, at Aidpage, do not plan on tracking who gives to whom... what, why, or how much. Handling of material transactions between Aidmates is left to their own discretion, mutual agreement, and responsibility. We do not plan on posting "success stories" on Aidpage either. We believe people are "wired" for trust. We believe empathy and compassion need no incentives.

There are words like "micro-giving" and "direct philanthropy" coming from the world of the traditional "donor-recipient-beneficiary" philanthropy. We understand, however, that giving is a basic human need in itself. So we prefer to just say "people aid people". All Aidmates are always donors and beneficiaries.

I am in despertate need of a loan of 1,413. I am behind in back rent. If I don't pay this back by May 23, I will be served an eviction notice. I am a single mom of one son. We used to live here with my mom who passed away a year ago. I have been struggling ever since.  I will pay this loan back at a rate of 100 dollars a month till I pay it off. I don't know if any one can help me but  don't know where else to turn.  I don't want to have to tell my son that we are about to be homeless. We lost enough this year with the lost of my mother and his grandmother. I have tried in vain to get a second job this year hoping to make ends meet to no avail. If anyone can help me I will be enternally grateful for any assistance possible.

Hello. My husband and I are trying to move our family out of a bad neighborhood. We live in an area full of drug dealers and violence. Our children cannot play outside. We are desperately trying to move but everytime we try something goes wrong at the last minute. Please help us to buy a home in an area where our children can play outside. Thank you and God Bless You.

Dear Fellow Angels, I am writng this letter because I am about to be evicted from my home. I am a full-time, pharmacy tech student. I fell on hard times when I lost my job, and exhausted my unemployment benefits. I am a single mother of three beautiful children. I receive no financial help from their father because he is an alcoholic. Which is one of the reason I am struggling on my own. I left him to better myself and provide a better life and environment my babies. I am a God fearing christian who knows that one way another God will see me through this. I fell behind on my rent, and know I am 3 months behind. My rent is 600.00 per month. My goal is to become a certified technician and provide for my family. I will graduate in December. But my externship will start in October, which I will be receiving employment in the hospital. I attend Kaplan Institute in Michigan. I am on the the Deans List. So I am trying to began a bright future. My only distraction is the possibility of becoming homeless. I thought I was accomplishing something by leaving my kids father, but it seem I remove them from one situation and put them in another one. My intention are to find that special person whio can assist me and my family ibn our time of need. I"m not looking for a handout but a helping hand. I don't want to drop out of school,because I came so far, and to not finish would mean that I have failed my kids in providing a secure future for them.If there is someone out there who can help me and my family, your kindness will be greatly appreciated. I know that my faith is strong and God will provide. I want to thank whosoever reads my post. That lets me know that you do care. If you have any blessings for me and my family, please send them also. For in a time like this, I sometimes feel all alone. I want to be able to tell my kids, its gonna be alright. Thank-you all, and God bless you peace be still

HELP ME NOT LOSE MY THINGS IN STORAGE!!! PLEASE, I NEED YOUR HELP!!! I am at the present umemployed. I need help so I won't lose my things, furnitures, clothes, family treasures, coats, shoes, tv, stereo, cd's, crystals, china, books, etc. Some of the furniture I had just bought. I lost my job. I took a penney enny job to substain me but it did more damage than good. Why? because this job had no benefits and I end of having damages to my body. Now, I am in therapy without an income. If this storage is not taken out by the 20th of August, I will lose everything. If I get it out by the end of this month I can pay $440 if I get it all out the same day. Otherwise, I will have to pay @ $770. Please help me, I have worked to hard for what I have. And some things I can't replace for my children sake. Please help me!!!!! I don't like having to ask but this is where I stand!

My name is Renee' I am a 41 year old widow. I am in despertate need of financial help. Grant or loan it doesn't matter. I had back surgery a couple of years ago for ruptured discs and a pinched/crushed spinal cord, I was left with complications..i.e, crushed nerves,loss of feeling in legs and hands, spineosis, radiculopathy, drop foot, osteoarthritis/degenerative disc diesease and fibromyalgia. I am in constant chronic pain and I am not able to work a normal job. I am working with the state to set up a small business that will support me and I am waiting for my disability to be approved, but this all takes a long time. The problem is that I am 5 months behind on my rent and won't have any state help for rent for at least another 10 months. I will be evicted from my home on June 10th 2007 if I can not pay up the back rent which is a total of $1,883. If any person or persons could help me with this I would be eternally grateful. If I can make it thru the next 6 mo. I will be on my way to getting back on my feet and finding a way to control my pain and get back into the work force, but I won't be able to do this if I don't have a house/home to live in. I have no family anymore (they have all passed away) this is why I am turning to strangers for help. Please anybody...I have nowhere to go and I am scared to death.

Hello, My name is MaryBeth I stumbled upon this website while search for help online. I am a 39 year old women. I have gone through some difficulties in my life, but have worked hard the last several years to make myself healthy, and live my life the very best I can. I have recently lost my job, and don't have a penny to my name, I have friends, but no one can help me financially. I have already started interviewing, but it is going slow. My last months rent is do, along with other bills. I am doing everything I can not to sink, but I feel like I'm drowning. I wish there was someone who could help me through this transition, I know its temporary, but I feel like I'm falling apart.

I own a daycare, and at the present i am looking for grant money to purchase play equipment for my children. I would love to purchase equipment, so that i may provide an oasis for inner-city children. at the present time we have swings,sandbox, and riding toys. My children and I have planted trees (peach, apple,and pear)we also have a small garden that they love. i get great joy each year as they begin to watch their labors unfold. If I could get the play equipment, my wish for an interesting,and rewarding childhood experience would be fulfilled.

I am a single mother, with 2 children in Chicago, Illinois. I attend college fulltime and I am homeless. It is hard to get an apartment because I only have a limited income monthly. I am in great need of a job that can help support, me and my children. 6 years ago I got in trouble with my boyfriend, so I have a felony probation case that will be dismissed in July. I am only asking if anyone knows where I can get a job that pays well, maybe in a office setting, that will give me a chance.

Theresa, Thank you for the good words! We had a search on the site until recently. We are now in the final stages (a few more weeks) of launching a major upgrade of the Aidpage platform. It will again have a search and also tags which are very useful for finding related stuff.

My husband lost his job 2 months ago and then I was laid off last week. I have found another job but, at a much lower rate of pay. We have 4 children one of which was just hospitalized. We are about to have our electric shut off and it's cold here in Vermont. I also just discovered a gas leak in my car's fuel line and don't have the money to repair it. And on top of it all, it's a week before Christmas and we have no money for gifts. I really need a loan of atleast $2,000 and can repay a little every other week or once a month. Thank you for listening. msmartincorrine@ao l.com

I am in desperate need of a loan of $1,200. I can pay it back monthly or biweekly starting Dec. 29. I helped out a family member more than I could afford, and now I have no heat, my car is about to be repossessed and my phone and electric are about to be disconnected. Please email meowmommy@gmail.com if you can help, or even just provide an encouraging word or two. Thank you.

2005 My brother had two stokes and a heart attack. Sept 2006 he had a blood vessel repaired in the head. He applied for disability and was denied. Two weeks after his surgery his wife and 14 year old daughter left with out a word and remove all belongings, except a bedroom set and a TV. She left leaving $47,000 mortgage two months in the rear. Took a loan out in both their names. Light and Gas bill in rear. His brothers and sister have been trying to keep the bills afloat, but we are unable to continue. We were able to get a one time only assistance from depart of social services. Is there any agency that can help us, where we can save his home and can get some assist to help along with his unemployment. His left side was affected where he is unable to stand for long periods of time, short term remember was affected also. He has exhausted his short term disability.

I have only a short time before I am homeless and on the street with an aging service dog. We already have no heat in this building and are slowly freezing to death. I have severe migraines and seizures and fibromyalgia. I am very very scared of what is going to happen to us. Can anyone help or direct me to immediate funding for a new apartment?
