Hi, Its not very often that people try to help the single mothers of the world so I just want to thank you for giving us this chance.
Im a 22 year old mother of 2 children, My daughter Kianna is 5 and my son Cayden is 1. I could really use any money right now. I bring in only $1200 a month, my rent alone is $700, I have a $1100 electric bill and a $700 gas bill sitting in front of me right now. Thats just 2 of them… I need to make tripple what I do in order to pay my bills. I am a full time student, I work, and I take great care of my babies with absolutely no help…No help from a father, no help from family or anything except for my dad> he watches the kids while I work and go to school. He is disabled though and cant do much. I would be so happy to win this. It would make my life so less stressful. My children have no idea that I struggle the way I do, but I cant let them see that.
Thanks again for this opportunity

Good day
My name is Nomsa from South Africa in Soweto. I am a single mother of two beautiful kids age 14 and 7. I am really in need of help regarding my children’s education. Last year I was dignosed with cancer of the liver and I was on a temporal disability for the whole of 2010. I have gone back to work this year March 2011. The side effects of the chemotheraphy has damaged my me so much. The disc (spinal cord) has moved and it is pressing the nerve. I went to different specialist to get some help as the other doctors said the only thing that will ease my pain is to go for an operation meaning they should operate my spine. I went to four doctors and they all refused to operate me as they all said it will damage me because it is a very sensitive operation otherwise I will end up in a wheelchair. As I don’t have a choice I had to go back to work and I cant cope at all with the pain that I’m feeling. It has damaged my lower body. Sir I am in pain please help me. I used to drive but now its a problem for me as I cant feel my legs anymore.

Hey 50 my name is Taikia and I am a 26 year old single mom of a 4 year old boy. I have been having financial problems for a very long time and every time it starts getting better everything falls apart again but worse than before. I just lost my job of 2 years in the beginning of December and I also lost a second job that I had just started in October that same week. No i’m not a bad worker I just ran into some problems that resulted in me losing my jobs. My son Maliki started having seizures in 2008 and from then on whenever he gets a high fever he has a seizure. When he does get a fever I have to stay home with him to make sure it goes back down so he won’t have a seizure which results in me having to call out from work for the day or however many days it may take him to recover. Also I have a slight disability from being in the military and it dictates whether or not I can work some days because of the pain. These two factors are a part of why I lost one of my jobs due to my poor attendance. I am not trying to make excuses but it is really hard to keep perfect attendance when u have functioning problems and a child that gets really sick at times. I’ve always tried to make it to work but sometimes it was easier said than done and i’m also on the verge of becoming homeless again. I live in a government paid apartment but if I don’t hear from Section 8 or NYC Housing before my lease is up i’m gonna end up back in the shelter and that is gonna be another struggle in itself. Please 50 I need the money to help support my son and I so that if our disabilities get the best of us again at least I know he will be alright because I will have money saved up for him. This money would help alot especially with saving some money for my son’s future education. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and I think what you are doing is a beautiful thing and I would like to congratulate whomever u choose. Blessings to you and yours and to all the other single mothers good luck and may God bless you and your family.

Dear 50 Cent,
My name is D’Wan, i am 14 years old and one of three siblings to a single mother. My mother, Regina, is 36 years old and has been struggling financially the last three years trying to pay the bills and support us, and im here to say that she is just simply wonderful. Even when she is down and out she still finds a way to stay positive and provide us with the basic everyday needs. My sister is 17 years old and she can be hard to get along with and ungrateful at times, but for the first time ever she brought home straight A’s and my mom was so proud of her achievement. However she was unable to reward her the way she wanted because we’re on a fixed income. My little brother Keysean can be a handful, he was diagnosed with a social disorder and behavioral problems at the age of 3 and ever since he has been not so much a burden but its been hard keeping him under control even with his medication. Our fathers choose not to be here in our lives but even so, my mom inspires us to always make the right decisions in life and always strive to do our best. My mom is the best thing that’s ever happened to us, even though we may not show it alot of times we do appreciate her. My sister will be heading off to college this coming August, and winning this money in these economical hardships would really help with her college expenses.

Sincerely,
D’Wan Jackson

Dear 50 cent,
My name is Arlena, I am a 19 year old single parent. I’ve been through so much in my life. From eating mustard sandwiches when I was hungry to getting molested by my uncle at the age 9 years. And even sleeping in a 2 bedroom duplex apartment with 6 other family members on a mattress.My life havn’t been to good to me and that’s why I’m writting you. My daughter Neveyah is my inspiration she’s the reason I wake up in the morning to work for a 12,000 dollar salary every year. Raising my baby is very tough, especially when you dont have any help. Her daddy help her with what he can but he’s still a senior in high school so he can”t do much. I have to have help with W.I.C to even feed my baby. It’s this program that give you baby milk every month.Me and my Baby live with my parents in a 3 bedroom house that is rented, with 7 other siblings. Me and my baby barely have room to sleep compfortably. It’s so hard but i sacrificed to have her and told myself and pray to god that I’ll give her everything I didnt have and evrything she needed. So when you do choose your three type winners. I hope you’ll choose me. I promise you, you will not be sorry or dissappointed. Love Always Arlena and Neveyah

Dear 50,
I really love what you’re doing. I have a friend that I believe should win the 10k. Her name is Jasmine Mays. The rason I believe that my friend should win the money is because she never asks for anything, nor has she ever won anything before. She is a a young, single mother, that goes to school and has a GPA of 3.5. Her son is only eight(almost nine months) and this will be his first Christmas, and he may be young but he deserves it. I’m not gone even lie Jasmine was going down the wrong path, but after giving birth to her son, her whole life just changed. During her pregnancy she delt with being judged, being put in that category of dropping out of school because of her baby, being a welfare mother, and not making anything out of her life, all because she has a child. But she did the exact opposite. She is finishing her last year of school, and is planning on going to college. Jasmine has very little money, so she’s even doing community service right now to get a scholarship to go to college after she graduates. Jasmine told me she just wants her baby boy to have the best first Christmas…and she wants to give him everything she didn’t have. She would also put some of the money up, for college, so she could go to school and follow her dreams, and make something out of her life not only for her, but also her son. Jasmine is the type of young lady that doesn’t feel the need to depend on a man, and would like to be independent, but she does not have the money to be. I don’t think Jasmine deserves the money, just because I’m her friend, but because she’s been through so much within the past two years, and this would really help out her and her son’s future. And when everybody meets Jasmine’s son, they all immediately fall in love with him. He’s so precious, and as Jasmine says, he’s her precious gift from God. So with prayer, we really pray that you pick her as one of your winners, because she does really deserve it, and she will put the money to good use not only for her but also her son.

Thank you and have a blessed day

On hearing about this contest on the radio station (105.1). Mr Jackson I felt a sence of relief. During my life, struggle’s were plenty. I’m really not here to discuss the negative effects that it had on my life, rather I’m here to disscuss the accomplishments that I acheived through them. As a single mother I had to quickly learn how to think as a man would, in order for my three sons to survive. In my house hold I taught my sons the (Golden Rule), which was to treat others the same way you want to be treated. This is the very reason why they are highly respected in our community. One of my main goals was to see to it that my three sons had a good education, however I didnt believe that the (Board of Ed) would successfully succeed in doing this, therefore I took them out of the school system and Home School’d them myself. 50 you’ll be happy to know that my two older sons have sucessfully graduated with their diploma, while my youngest is in his final year. So if your looking for a pity story this is not the one. But if your looking for a story about a “single parent” who was in a negative situation and turned it positive I believe this is the one for you………… Please Review Mine.

Hello 50; I just want to start off by saying My friend Felicia Jones is a great mom to her 12 year old son..She does it all for him without any help from the childs father she’s a strong individual who works hard for her son education as well as any other needs he may have. Felicia recently lost her mother and had to take her savings to bury her mom who had no Life insurance so her son may not receive anything..But I must say he is grateful she asked him if she wasn’t able to get him anything for Christmas would he be upset he took a minute but he said No take care of yourself..It brought tears to my eyes..I’m a college student and unemployeed but if I had it his Christmas would be special..I just really would like for you to consider her as a canidate for the single mom contest because she goes far and beyond for her son and hopefully if I ever decide to have a child..I want to be just like her! I’ve never heard her speak one bad thing in front of her son about his father..she always said he will figure it out soon..And if she doesn’t win she’s still a winner in my book! 50 for real I have a different type of respect for you now..You are in my book a True G…G to me stands for GREAT! Much love and respect!
