 in response to Melrose05...   I understand doll, but you have to protect your family no matter how tired you now.

 in response to Melrose05...   I am an officer of the court in Wyoming and I know that a voluntary case is not a bad thing, it makes you look good love. They are good at helping and they can likely stop your eviction at least temporarily.

I wish I could send you money sweety, but unfortunately I am in a bad way there myself. I recommend that you call your local department of family services and open a voluntary case. They can help you in everything and if you get a good social worker they may be able to stop the eviction. Most DFS offices have after hours and weekend people on duty so give them a call. Wish I could help more, but I am a good listener and you are welcome to rant to me.

Life is looking better!!!! I am still struggling monetarily but I am maintaining a happy and positive outlook. My sick days are fewer since I escaped the abuse and my doctor is so happy that she actually thanked the people that I live with now. I have two fabulous room mates and though I may not be able to move to CA as I wish to, the DFS here has offered to assist me in my custody battle so I may get my kids yet. I am still on waiting lists for housing, but I am pretty sure I will have something within four months. I am making crafts to sell on ebay for a trip to visit my kids in CA and am hoping to be able to do that very soon. I could do without the MS, Meniere's disease etc....but I refuse to let it beat me. I am going to win!!!! Thanks to all who listened to me when I was down and helped to pick me up by my boot straps, I really appreciate it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then new pic is me, I did them out of my wheelchair though I will likely do a few in it as well. Just figured I would show off the real me!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, things are looking so much better. My optimism is back and I know I can make my life great. I am still broke because SSI pays squat, but I am happy, much healthier now I am out of the abuse, and I refuse to be negative or to let any of this bring me down.

 in response to Schmidty...   No, thank you; you were a wonderful help in calming me and that helps with my health. I called all of the vehicle organizations and unfortunately because I am not living in the states that offer such I am out of luck there, but I am not giving up. I am now looking at salvage yards and wrecker places; I was told they may have something. Thank you so much, you really did help last night.

thanks for the list. I called those in my area and they are unfortunately unable to assist because my ex has the kids, but I am not giving up. Thank you for talking to me and being so kind last night; you are a wonderful person.

 in response to whoknew...   I did file charges and have left messages with the crime victims, but have yet to hear a call back. I also called the domestic violence organization and due to my illnesses they aren't comfortable or as they say "equipped" to deal with someone as ill as I. I am about to go to a meeting with community action to see if they can provide more and my tribe is faxing them an intake to try to get me some more assistance through them, but being out of their state makes it difficult. I am on many many wait lists for assistance. The lists are long, most a year or more, but I received some new links thanks to Scmidty and will be contacting them as well. I hate having to ask for assistance on top of the degradation that these diseases cause. He wasn't arrested due to the fact that I was stupid and only called the police the next day so I am also dealing with the D.A. who I know from being a paralegal. Casper Wyoming just doesn't have much and from what I have been told they turned down some federal funding that would have helped.

 in response to Schmidty...   thanks, I will check them out. I will likely close this request though as I have been told I am a horrid person for making it. I have never asked for help like this before and now will never do so again. I will check it out though, thanks.

I love where I am staying until Thurs am as I get to sleep in a bed and the man that hit me had me sleeping on the kitchen floor for months. This is actually wonderful feeling, sleeping and lounging in an actual BED. lol

I wish I could give you more than my prayers, but those you shall have. I truly hope you find the assistance you need.

I am very unaccustomed to being the one to ask for assistance. I have done volunteer work for the military and other organizations like red cross my entire life. I am used to being the person that people go to for assistance and this is very difficult for me to ask for assistance. I included my email for contact and if you would like to speak with me before providing assistance I would be happy to give you my number. I am proud and independent and hate asking for help, but was recommended to do so by the agencies that can no longer assist me. Thanks in advance for any help I receive.

My name is Nicole McAteer and I was recently diagnosed with MS, Meniere’s disease and T.I.A; on top of a heart condition I have had since childhood. I was recently engaged to a man who knew I was ill and as I became more so, he became very verbally abusive, leading to him throwing something at my face and giving me a cut and swollen bruising; he also took most of my back pay from SSI. I only make $674 per month and have no vehicle. I am in a wheelchair and am in dire need of a vehicle and assistance with funds to get to either California or Seattle to see the correct doctors to get me in remission. Never did I think I would EVER request assistance in this manner and this is quite difficult for me to ask. The vehicle or funds for such do not have to get a perfect vehicle as I have friends that can possibly help me do any work on it; that or I can do the work when I am having good days. I am a very happy and optimistic person in general and am trying hard to hold onto that, but found that when they took me from the bad situation and put me into the hotel it would only last 2 weeks. As of March 24th at 11am I will be homeless and a vehicle would help me a great deal in giving me some way to get to Colorado for my testing and assistance from them. I have barely $100 to my name and won’t get paid again until the 1st of April. I am working with various agencies, but unfortunately they can help very little as Casper Wyoming has very little funding to help such as me and no way to move me up the waiting list, even with my conditions. I would much rather have a vehicle to put my things in (all will fit in 2 suitcases) and would be willing to use it as a home temporarily until I can get the funds to go to either of my places of choice for correct physicians. I am sad and embarrassed to ask for such assistance, but it would be much appreciated. For those that are willing to send money, I have a paypal account, MissCholey@gmail.com and would use the funds to get to the correct doctors and be nearer my children, which the doctors believe may help push me into remission. I have been ill for more than a year and only just began receiving SSI. I hate being a victim and even more so asking for help, but I have no other choice it seems. For those who would rather speak with me and possibly provide alternate assistance; please email and I will provide you with my phone number that you may be able to talk to me for yourself. I am a very independent person, even with being ill, but am in dire need of assistance. A vehicle would be great assistance and I am able to get one from the local dealers for under $2000. My symptoms are severe on some days and better on others, though this stress is making me more ill and I would really like some help to get me to self sufficiency and not have to ask for assistance again. I had a stroke last Friday and fortunately there was no lingering damage other than the weakness and loss of sensation in my left leg, so I know how lucky I am right now. Though it is very difficult for me to ask for help, I feel I have no other choice. Please help me, either with a vehicle or cash. I will attempt to pay back anyone that assists, though it may be slow and would be eternally grateful for the assistance. Sorry to even ask and if I had alternative means I would use them. I have spoken to every agency and they have no emergency assistance beyond this two weeks from the looks of things. I am still researching and attempting to find alternate routes, but since only perfect strangers have been able to help, most of my friends are unable or unwilling because they are either his friends as well and don’t understand how my condition effects me or simply too busy. Any help I can get would be most appreciated. Thank You, Nicole McAteer "
