school help: i am in desperate need. - Help.com

i am in desperate need.

i am a 19 year old canadian student, who has already taken out student loans and works as much as she can on the side. I have worked for a year previous to attending school to make enough for my dream to come true with a bit of help from my mother. My mother recently passed away & i had to spend some of my own money to finance her memoral needs, i am now in the hole. I am in the middle of exams, still working part time, am not able to take out another loan, have looked online..and been scammed online already once…i don’t know where else to look. Can anyone HELP?

no unfortunately i do not, well i may but that is unknown. I am a single child and my mother was adopted as a single child, both my grandparents have since passed away, and i may have biological grandparents but of course no resources or money to find out if i do.

Hello,

Does this really? Do people really help any of you? I need help too my husband died and left me our house which I can’t afford because he paid most of the bills my paychecks didn’t cover much. I have it up for sale but who goes house shopping in a blizzard it’s too cold and snowy around here. I have 29 years experience in manufacturing yet I cannot find a decent paying job, maybe I’m too old according to them. Any body have any ideas on what to do I’m in northeast Ohio. Thanks, Linda Garner

Linda, you should make a brand new post regarding your situation. That way you’ll get the input of the whole community. This particular post has probably dropped off of people’s radar. Write a new one. We’d love to help. My own advice is to look at getting online work. All you need is a reliable internet connection.

Linda,
I’ve been recovering from an eye infection and had to take some time off of my job to recover,.. while I was off I did some online survey taking job… the pay isn’t to bad… you’ll need internet and hopefully a quick one not a dial up service but you could be home and still earn some money… perhaps C.M. Theisen can steer you to some reliable sources… good luck…

I know how u feel. I was going to school, working a full time job, a job on the weekends and at night a job. I had a boyfriend at that time who would not help me. I signed up for finacial aid,student loans, and they still did not cover everything. Have you tried any personal loans? I know they would be very good at this point anything goes. Is there any assistance in your community that maybe able to help or assistance? Sorry i may not be very good help, i am in need of help also and am at last straw…..

talk to financial aid services at your school - they can offer temporary loans, or even tuition deferrment if they sympathize with your situation -

to loancompany…. are you allowed to do banking business in the US… you must be registered in the state your client comes from or it is illegal… and you will be preceived as a scammer… also if you ask for any money upfront for insurance fees or any kind what so ever it is illegal…to ask for them…since your phone number indicates it’s a foreign one I just want you to be aware this site takes scams seriously… and I will personally send your info on to the FBI… I dont want to see any one else scammed out of their money… BeWARE…
