Ok, I am going to tell everyone who wants to know about grants, what I have learned from friends who have applied for them. 

 When one of  my friends applied for a grant so she could do rescue work, she was asked to send the organization some  money for the processing, so she did.  Well, Guess what?  She has never heard from this place  again after she sent her money .  The outfit took her money though.  And this was over a month ago. They have never replied to her request, and they have never sent her any funds.

I have come to the  following conclusion that all grants are probably  this way, unless you know the people who are handing the money out personally. 

 I dont know any fundmakers.  If anyone  who is seeking

help from grants, someone who isnt with the same organization, then let the rest of us know.

People who take money, and dont send some back in return, in my opinion they are like the thief in the night.

I recently moved to Waterbury, CT from the Bronx, NY for a better quality of life.  I had no idea that finding a job with my skills would be so hard.  In fact, my area of expertise is no longer in demand.  This is why I decided to go back to school.  I couldn't afford to take 2 years off and go back to school for what I wanted which is to become an RN so I decided to take the shortest course they were offering, complete it, start working and then go back to school to pursue my dream to become and RN.  Right now, I am spending so much money out of pocket for school and that is interfering with other obligations such a being able to pay my rent, light bill, and other living expenses.  In addition, I am responsible to pay for my school books, registration fee, uniforms, class trips that pertain to the studies we are in.  I am totally overwhelmed and don't know what to do, I need money now.  If more information is needed or if you know someone who can help, please contact me at eleyva@comcast.net
