What's on your heart and mind today?

Here's how it is. I ended up in the hospital this last time, because I was living in this little tent, going 3-4 days at a time without food, all the while going thru chemotherapy. The thing is nobody gives a rats ass. These churches spend a fortune on people in Bangledesh and other 3rd world shitholes where the people hate our guts, but can't give a guy dying of cancer living in a tent a fricken dime. Do you know what "we're praying for you" means? It's Christian for go F yourself. I'm hungry and sick, walked 3 miles each way for nothing. You know what my dinner is tonight? I heated up some water and put a shitload of ketchup in it. Tomato soup. Richest country on earth and there's no one out there who can give me 20 bucks? That's the way it is. Ill tell you what. When I get all that money in Nov. I won't ever help anyone again ever. Did it all my life and where did it get me? Dead pretty much

What's on your heart and mind today?

Well it would make absolutely no sense to send the money to my wife. Her and the kids live in a different county 65 miles away. I can't afford the gas to go that far. And the reason I don't camp out closer, is that the landowner let's me stay in his woods. I don't know anyone in Grand Traverse County. And I'm using a friends address for social security. Times are gonna be real tough between now and then. There are some bright spots. Sprint has written off our wireless bill and will keep our phones on until I'm well enough to start paying the bill. I get my internet and everything thru this phone. The plan is this: once the s. Security check gets here, we buy a nice mobile home and start living again! I hope God helps me thru it and that I can beat the cancer. What's going on now is pretty bad. I've had pneumonia 3 times since January

What's on your heart and mind today?

I have applied for everykind of assistance you can imagine. The problem is that with almost every agency, you must have a physical address. Since there are only shelters for women and children. I'm stuck out in the woods, left at the mercy of churches. None of which care at all or help. I do have some good news however. I was just approved for social security. Since I applied so long ago, I will get a 28,000.00 check November 1st. My wife and 3 kids will be back with me. But right now I don't have as much as a piece of bread to eat. My car has enough gas to get into town 1 way. I am ready to give up. I'm weak and tired. That's why it was so devistating when that church changed their mind. People here don't care if you live or die. I've showed my social security papers to everyone, hoping for a small loan. They all said no. Not even 20 bucks. That would go along way for me. 10 in the gas tank. And 10 for groceries. They just don't care. Then when I starve or dehydrate to death they'll claim they knew nothing about it. They'll try to make themselves look good. They are so phony

Hi Everyone! It's been a while since I've been on here. I just spent about 3 weeks in the hospital. Almost bit it this time. There is no hope in this god forsaken place. Church people are hypocrits. No agencies provide anything. I'm living in my tent in the woods. I haven't had any food since thursday. A church group was supposed to send me 75.00 western union, then after I walked 3 miles to the grocery store there was nothing. I called the place back and the guy said "oh I'm sorry, but I decided not to help you after all. Such is life. Probly wouldve been better off just dying in the hospital. Nobody gives a shit. I've lost everything. My wife, kids everything

Well at least it stopped raining. But now the mosquitos are eating me alive. Talked to my wife and kids today, gonna go see them Saturday. Still no help in sight. Just as always the rich don't care at all that someone with stage IV cancer is living in a tent while his family lives 65 miles away in a shelter. I have all but given up. I'll probably die of my disease out here and then they'll do a story on me in the paper or something. Like they gave a crap in the first place. Right.

What's on your heart and mind today?

Hi Everyone, today I'm getting off track a little to talk about something different. I'm from Michigan. All this news of Michigan State Basketball Coach Tom Izzo possibly leaving to coach in the NBA? It was all about him getting his ego stroked. And the only reason he ended up turning down the job is because Cleveland star Lebron James has no intention of staying there. Had James stayed I think Izzo would have left State right away. There was nothing noble about what Izzo did. Is he a great coach? Absolutely! But to say he stayed because he loves State is ridiculous! He stayed because his chances of success is better at State. And then there's that piece of garbage Tiger Woods. Talk about an egomaniac. I hope this guy doesn't break all nickluses records. Jack is a class act and family man who knows what it means to be loyal to his wife and kids. So does Phil Mickelson. Go Phil! These pompous sports stars don't know how good they have it. Maybe they should walk in all of our shoes huh guys? They couldn't do it for 5 minutes. And that's why a-holes like then never give folks like us a hand. They don't give 2 poops about the folks who watch them and ultimately pay their salaries. Hey they are a lot like politicians! Anyway have a great day everyone!

Well the problem where I live is that it's a tourist trap. The extremely rich don't give 2 poops about you, the extremely poor can't give 2 poops about you and everyone in between barely has an extra dollar. Money up here isn't spent on helping the poor and desolate, it's spent on new boat launches and secure parking lots to guard all the Mercades and Lexuses.

What's on your heart and mind today?

Hello everyone, I see folks asking for thousands of dollars on here. You won't find money on here or any other site like this. What you will find are people in similar situations who basically support one another and bounce ideas around. I've been living in a tent for over a month, while trying to fight stage IV esophageal cancer. My wife and kids live in a shelter 65 miles away and I never see them. I've been literally everywhere for help. Even churches won't help. In a nutshell the people on here are kind and good and would help if they could. Charities and churches are money making scams. They really don't help anyone, unless you live in some third world country. So count the blessings and pray you don't end up like me. Thunder,lightening and wind here tonite. The wind worries me a little. Dinner was a can of bushes beans, a piece of bread and tea.

Life is a cruel joke! People are cruel and greedy and judgemental. I was told at church yesterday that God was getting after me for something I'd done in the past! Its all bullcrap. I've lost my home and I'm screwed beyond all imagination. There's no way out people are greedy and arrogant. I give up!

The weather is fantastic. And I have a remodel job to do. Its mostly easy painting and texturing. The guy owns a small christian camp/retreat. Its all made of logs. He's letting me stay while I work. Its luxury compared to the woods. I'm still gonna come up a bit short. Anbout 450. Still in a better position than I was.

Weathers nice! Have stopped cancer treatment to take job remodeling a small resort. It will be a month before I have it done and get any money, but hey I can't just do nothing right? There's no time to be sick. Nobody would help us anyway.

BEWARE!!! The loan company which posted here this morning is a fraud! Do not allow them to con you into sending up front fees in order to receive the loan. It BULLSHIT! They are a fraud! A legitimate lender would roll any fee into the loan. These so-called lenders are Nigerian Nationals. They will take your money and you'll never hear from them again!

Well just got back from seeing the family. My wife is Not going to divorce me. First good news I had in a year. Problem is the shelter people said if she don't follow their program they can't help her much longer and getting rid of me seemed to be their top priority. My little boy wanted to go with me, but the place said they would call prot. Services if I did. Sucks. Its warm and nice and wouldve been nice to have had him with me for a couple days. Why are people so crappy?

I live in michigan. The worst economy in the whole country. I've been to the Savation army an goodwill, the Red Cross Catholic Social Services. None of them have any money. With an unemployment rate of close to 30% in my region, these charities are broke. Nobody will help me.

Hello Everyone

Hi Ralph, I think your the same Ralph I chatted with on here a couple weeks ago. How are you feeling. Did you ever recoup any money from those people who gave you bad checks for the computer repairs? Well I'm living in the woods now. My wife and kids are living in a shelter about 60 miles away. It sucks. She and the kids can only see me on Saturday and they suggested that she divorce me so she won't get stuck with the medical bills. Or the bill for the funeral when I die from this crap. Its crazy. So liberal and secular.

Hi everyone. I'm toughing it out today. The tent blew over an hour ago. We are getting wind gusts of 45 mph. I set it again hope it stays. Its raining as well. It was nice yesterday in the 60's. Now its about 40. Had snow last saturday. It won't get warm, can't start the van as it has less than an eighth of a tank. I found 3 pennies. I now have 46 cents. Plus two returnable cans. That's 66 cents. Sad. Lonely. Miss my family. Hate to bother you all but there's nobody to talk to!

America is Not Generous To Americans

I find most church people to be like politicians. Its all image to these people. They really don't give 2 shits about you! They have huge bank accounts, drive expensive cars and the pastor wears a 2,000.00 suit! Yet when you face being homeless are sick and dying they say"we will pray that God will provide for you but we can't". Yeah like God is going to open a giant wallet and drop a few hundreds down to me!" Its people like that supposed to represent God helping the lesser and unfortunate of us. That's what their book tells them. Not many of them follow it. They are despicable. But as I get more bitter, I get sicker. I'm really not trying to feel like this. Its windy, cold and raining. I'm dry but cold. Why can't anyone help me? I can't get mail now if anyone out of the area send money it will have to be sent by wire. Not like anyone will anyway

America is Not Generous To Americans

The world is a cold place filled with uncaring greedy people. Especially the religious. They are such phonies. They say "we can't help you, but we will pray for you and God will help you. Well last time I checked, God was a spirit. He can't just get out of His fancy car, straighten His 2,000 suit and open His wallet like you pastor". They love it but its true. Most of the pastors I've met have expensive tastes, yet are very stingy. Its the poor and humble that want to help. Not the rich and religious who go hand in hand. They are such disgusting hypocrite!
