Sorry to hear the church wasn't helpful. Even if you've lost faith in them don't lose faith!

The main thing is you get a plan in action. IE what happens after the fundraiser money is gone. We want to make sure you are able to live off of what's coming in on a monthly basis.

yep,, have my ducks in a row,,,, as far as stretching the money out going to make it last as long as possible,,, right now i have everything cut back as far as possible but still in the hole,,, if i cant get this title crap straightened out in the next month or so to where i can sell the place legally then when the money starts running to low i will just stop making any kind of payments on this place and HOPE i can get into an apartment,, so even if i stop making payments for 3 months that will give me enough to get into an apartment,,,, everything is timing right now,,, uncle found me an apartment in his town but he said it was so small you couldnt swing a cat in it and it wa 375 a month everything paid,,, in other words he found a closet,, if worst case senerio i will move up there if that closet is available,,,,, i have a lead on 2 seperate places ( 1 bedroom) but of course theres a waiting list,,, if the worst happens i have a friend with about 30 acres and a couple of old barns that i can shack up in,,, was in boy scouts for years and the army so i have plenty of training to survive like that

Not sure where you live but here $375 wouldn't even rent a closet.

Hard to understand how the church would turn it's back. I've actually delivered firewood to several people that was paid for by church groups.

Unfortunately some churches are run by folks who only go there to be seen there.......

Scott, not all churches are like that. Many are exactly the opposite. Your knock is against a group of people, not Christianity.

Unfortunately too many churches are made up just like his. I take this as a lesson to make sure I'm not part of the problem with my little church.

I'm sure many of us know at least one person that is involved with the church mostly as a status thing. The guy that built my house is up there in the ranks of the Mennonites. You'd think that you could trust a guy like that but turned out that we was more crooked than a room of lawyers. Stuff like if the building plans required 5 nails, he used 2 and put the other 3 toward another house he'd build.
For a while he was having guys with self loading log trucks contract out to him for doing the site clearing and hauling logs. (hauled to other church members in his little group of like minded people)

Well... there's only about 1/2 a dozen self loading log trucks in the area. One by one he went through everyone. Never paid or paid only a portion of what was agreed on. One guy got fed up and took 2 loads of logs home as partial payment, the builder tried to sue him (lost his *** and was made to pay in full haha!)

Anyhow, back on topic... check into local charities. Around here there are several that will help the needy with food, heat, power, clothing, etc, etc. Don't think that you have to been a street bum with only a grocery cart to your name to get help.
