Grants, are they real or just a ploy to purchase cd's that you have to find the grant or foundation that a person needs.

I have been receiving e-mails of record proportions all stating that government grants are avaibe.  I've purchsed material as high as 500.00 and as low as 19.95  I am thoughly confused as to what grant or foundation that may help me.  I have written many letters to apply and always the same results.......no responce.  I'm starting to feel that this may be a scam to milk money from desperate people like me.  I've begged, pleaded, asked, and practically got on my hands and knees to pray.

Is there a worker I can talk to?  I am starting to wonder if these are all scams.  It's been over 2 years, I even tried to apply for emergency funding to save my home.  I just got out of a repay agreement which I had to pay a tremendous amont of late fees.  My husband lost his job in Jan and lost all medical benefits.  I am unable to work because of a degenerated spine.  we are in a bad situation and if we don't get some kind of financial grant, we will be homeless.  We realize we have to sell our beloved home which we had worked so very hard to achieve.  I spent 8 yearsnursing an invalid father-in-law who moved in with us to make things easier for me.  He was a very good person, but after his 2nd heart attack, and 4rd stroke, he became dead weight and when my husband was at work, I was the only one to help him and that took a toll on my health.

We are soclose to retirement that if we could have kept his job for 1 and a half years, we would not have problems.  Because my husband was contracred from Bartech and worked in the GM facility.  When he was laid off, there was no severance, and no insurance.  We started dipping into our assets 5 years ago when he took a 27 percent pay cut.  No cost of living, no bonuses, not even turkey for Thanksgiving and Ham for Christmas.  We are desperate.  Please send me a phone number of someone who is in charge of grants that deal with hardship.  We need 2 more years to retire and sell our home and downsize.  We do not have a problem with downsizing, but if we go into forclosure we lose the eqity that will make this possible.

Sincerely Margaret Splatt. Please let me hear from you soon.  time is not on my side any longer.
