I am not the one to ask for anything but I feel since I've gotten older my health issues have gotten worse. My problems started when my husband passed away and they refused to pay the house off leaving me with the house payments and raising 3 young boys. in the mean time doing house repairs and trying to maintain the home. Going to college full time...working full time and maintaining the home was a lot. Now it has taken a toll on me with a lot of surgeries and lots of falls. I've been out of work 14 months now and patiently waiting to see if my disability will be approved but in the meantime everything is getting behind. Have too many issues to stay on a job long and my age is a factor too....so I don't know what to do. I don't want to lose my home as much as I've struggled and been in pain to keep it. If anyone can help or make any suggestions I just need help to stay afloat until I get an answer from disability.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Actor Leonardo DiCaprio has pledged $43 million (£30.4m) to the help conserve the Galápagos Islands in Ecuador. The money will go to Re:Wild, an organisation founded earlier this year by DiCaprio and a team of conservation specialists, the Galápagos National Park Directorate, Island Conservation, and local communities. The money will go towards restoring Floreana Island, which is home to 54 threatened species, as well as reintroduce 13 extinct species. It will also introduce a captive breeding programme to prevent the extinction of animals such as the pink iguana.
It's not the first time DiCaprio has put his money towards conservation and saving endangered species through his eponymous foundation. The Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation has awarded more than $80 million (£57.5m) in grants since 2010, funding more than 200 high-impact projects across 50 countries.

It seems like I am in the same boat needing money. I never asked anyone before for anything but asking now it falls on deaf ears. With having health issues, being fairly older, and the instances of this past year am now in jeopardy of loosing the little I have. I can't blame anyone or anything for my mistakes and not being better prepared for my elder years. You never expect health issues or circumstances such as what occurred this past year. It's just a shame my wife will end up paying for my mistakes by possibly ending up with out a place to live. If anyone sees this and has any ideas on where I can receive financial help please let me know.

I am 61 years of age and am also a Army Reserve female vet. I have now become homeless and can not get the help I need from the VA simply because my time is mostly reserve. I think this is so unfair because I do have a honorable discharge. I have reached out to several organizations that help military females and they too turned me down for the same reason. I live on the street and can't afford to buy my self coffee. I still am actively seeking employment but because of my age it is a problem. If there is anyone out there with compassion please email me back. I will gladly provide my identity. Thank you for caring.
