AidPage is a great idea! I have always wanted to donate some of my spare time to help people in need, right here from my office. And here I found AidPage where I can hopefully use my research skills to help some of the people seeking financial and other help with valuable information resources. Besides, I am curious to find out what really is available out there from the governments and private sources that may match some of the needs posted here on AidPage.

I would greatly appreciate any feedback. Thanks.

pattydothis, here is a link to Federal Money Retriever and GrantGate. You can search for grants and apply if you find programs that match your situation. Both software packages are free. 

http://www.grantgate.com/free.htm

You can also check the collection of resources here on aidpage. There are a lot of members that are collecting and posting helpful resources.

Michael, check the programs of your local government agencies. You may be able to find help also from private foundations and charities in your area. Best tool to find out about them and their givings is GrantGate. You can download it for free from here:

 Good luck.

Dear Vista help, have you tried getting help from any of these grant programs, I've tried for almost five years, Yes they all get Grants but when you try for help , they can't answer a simple question ,They don't know how or what your talking about I've contacted all of my local offices,For Help I have Toxic mold in my home and have contact hud epa and many more.there programs don't cover it have tried local organization and manymore,I do have someone coming out to see if they can help but it is a lot of work just to find anyone that is interest in your situation,they give all of these foundations money and organization,They need one person in each city that can help you.it is almost impossible for you to do this on your own.The reason people can't get the help they need is because their is no one who can answer their question on where do I go to apply,What office,there is so much bureaucracy one office will tell you they don't take care of it .so they send you on to another office and so on it's a big run around, the average person can not get the help they need.That's why there are so many people on the aidpage looking for help.because they don't have the money to get the help they need.You could hire a grant writer but that cost big money,Which none of them have including my self.That's why all of these people are discouraged and have no one to turn to.and if they are getting the run around that I have gotten fo the last five years,then you no why they are screaming for help.it's about time someone step's up to help them.This page should be sent to the government so the can see how many people need help and are not getting it,I have given money to many organization in the past when I had it but now things have turned around and I don't have it.I think it's time to tell the Government it's time to help the people that support them.If Donald Trump can get a grant Why not the average Joe.You know why Because he has the money to pay for that Grant Writer, Money Makes money, The true hurts,and I'am sure everyone know's what I'am talking about. Thank you Sandy6

Thanks for the info about you sent me It was most helpful. I'm not looking for a hand out, just a step up until things pan out. I work full time in the school district -- summer months are always difficult because we don't get paid for them. Winter months are bad because I have high fuel costs. I have managed in the past but fell behind because of rising costs. Any agencies you know of that can provide a little assistance is much appreciated Thanks again Shantei

Hi 'Vistahelp', I too, found the story of the person's crusade to Nigeria incredible. As an American, it is often hard to comprehend the condition of those in other countries. And even when we can or do, alot of times we cannot do very much because their leaders will not allow it. They will not give the aid we send to the people. They kill the soldiers that we send. However, the one thing that we all can do is to pray for these people. We can pray that God will soften the hearts of their leaders. That way when we try to help them the leaders will allow the help to get to those who need it. May God bless you and thank you for joining this site. ekikaseven

I have spent the past 5 months and uncountable hours, days, months researching every possible option for any type of any assistance to or for anyone and how many times and ways you can be told NO. Included I report dates, times, qualifications, locations and resources. I have an arsenal of info and would be happy to shhare if you are still collecting same. Trust me, the government grant sites, if not truly the government, are all bullshit. The actual gov sites are risky and dangerous if you don't know what your doing. Respond if you like and I will provide some first hand information regarding mostly why you CAN'T get that FREE MONEY. However, in the right hands would surely save many many souls a copious amount of potentially wasted hope, time and money. I posted here too and to no avail, not even what I considered a mi-noot interest in my money troubles due to Identiy theft, not even a nasty note. I at least got attention and reaction on my post from PopTart on the BOA link along with a testimonial from an employee confirming every accusation I lodged along with additional poo on BOA for our perusal.

I find it hard to believe (in fact I know that it isn't true) that there are no funding programs in Wisconsin. Even if that were so there are still funding programs on a national level.

I am looking for people/someone to help me finish Nursing School at Hawaii Pacific University, can you help me? I am a 43 year old white male, with little access to funds. I have a 3.89 GPA, I pay child support, work and go to school full time. I am a CNA at a hospital while going to the University of Colorado in Colorado Springs. I am transferring to Hawaii Pacific University in the fall and moving there this summer. The tution is 17,000 year, I have most of it covered and I need a bit more. The reason I am finishing school in Hawaii is that my soon to be ex-wife took my son out-of-state from Colorado to Hawaii, last spring. Back to her parents. I saw him once at the beginning of the year for two weeks and I decided I cannot be away any longer, it is killing me. Please help.

well I can tell you that there is nothing in Wisconsin to help people. It seems like you have to move out of state just to get help. Wisconsin does nothing for people who live here.
