Turtledove Women’s Home is located in beautiful Southern California off the 91 freeway in Corona. What we do is help women who need a safe place to regroup, find resources, and better themselves. Women from all walks in life can simply call us with details of their emergency or need, and we will assist with resources and/or a bed in our home. Women are never turned away if they are homeless, hungry, or afraid because we believe in doing unto others as you would want done unto you. The women we help have been abused, neglected, in jail, homeless, addicted, or simply lost, and through our women’s home we have been able to save several women from these afflictions. The founders of the Turtledove Women’s Home believe that everyone deserves a second chance and that the best way to heal a broken spirit is through giving love and instilling faith through hope.
Currently we house nine women from different backgrounds, many of which do not have a stable income. In total we have twelve beds between 4 rooms, three bathrooms, a kitchen, living room, laundry room, upstairs and downstairs patio, pool, courtyard and parking. We rent to women in drug and alcohol recovery, escaping abusive relationships, and transitional independent living. We also offer a 30-day faith based drug and alcohol out patient recovery program and the resources to get government aid and go to college. Many women have begun to rebuild their lives in these ways, and transition into independence. We want to offer the tools and guidance needed by women in need so that they leave the home in a better situation then when they came to us.
We have recently started our women’s home in July of 2011 and are a small organization. We could not have prepared for the magnitude of calls we get each day from women needing help, and have taken in several that could not afford our homes services. We need the help of our friends, family and community in order to continue saving lives. Help us by Donating to Turtledove Women’s Home. We need your help today with generous donations of utilities, food, clothes, and cash. We at Turtledove Women’s Home believe that showing hope and love when help and answers are asked for can make the world a much better place to those who are suffering. Please Donate to our Home. We are very grateful to those who do.

Hello to all contributors! I am in desperate need of help with rent money for the month of October, which is pass due, and November 2011 is just around the corner. I am from West Hartford, CT. 44 years old, been unemployed since June of this year, and have had no luck in finding a job. I'm depressed and don't have family or friends to turn to. I have always been self-reliant but for the past 3 years, financially, It has been painful struggling, some days I just feel like giving it all up... don't ask me what that means because I don't know or won't know until it happens... I need to raise $800 by Nov. 10th, 2011, or my landlord will evict me from her property. If you can donate $10, $20, $40, $60, $80, or $100 today to help me get caught up on my rent, the generous gesture would be memorable and forever appreciated. If you have the means to help make someone, (a complete stranger) life better, then please try to help me... I'm no good at asking or begging for help because I grew up with no one to help me make it in the world, which made me look inward for help... Now its seems that I may be running out of self-empowerment, self-luck, I'm not sure why, I am the most caring person, honest, law abiding citizen with a big heart, a humanitarian. It seems I always give help but no one is ever there to help me... So here I am with frustration, trying to get help from complete strangers and the likelihood they would help me is slim and none, but it doesn’t hurt for me to try...HERE IS WHAT I DO KNOW, IF YOU ARE READING MY POST, IT IS LIKELY YOU ARE THE ONE WHO CAN HELP...IF SO, DON'T LEAVE MY POST WITHOUT DOING SO. IF YOU DO HELP, I GUARANTEE SOMEONE WILL RETURN THE FAVOR, IT COULD BE ME!

 However, what I WILL most certainly do, not only post "THANK YOU" messages to those here who contributed to my financial need and objective, but for every donation I WILL return a favor to another Aidmember or member in need.

The comment that enrages me the most is... She is your MOTHER, you should forgive her. HUH? The fact that she is my "mother" makes it MORE atrocious, not less. If I was attacked by a stranger, I doubt I would hear this "forgive her" comment. Another comment that enrages me... "She did the "best" she could" How ridiculous is that! Or how about... that is how it was "in those days" I'm 45 years old as if systematic torture was acceptable in 1970s? These ignorant fools really piss me off!

awesome! no one has the right to tell anyone what they went through wasn't important!!

I will be your friend

WASHINGTON – Women-owned small businesses can begin taking steps to participate in a new federal contracting program on Friday, Feb. 4, the U.S. Small Business Administration announced today. The new Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) Federal Contract Program will be fully implemented over the next several months, with the first contracts expected to be awarded by the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011.
“Implementing the Women-Owned Small Business contracting rule has been a top priority for the Obama Administration and SBA,” said Administrator Karen Mills. “Women-owned businesses are one of the fastest growing sectors of the economy. As we continue to look to small businesses to grow, create jobs and lead America into the future, women-owned businesses will play a key role. That’s why providing them with all the tools necessary to compete for and win federal contracts is so important. Federal contracts can provide women-owned small businesses with the oxygen they need to take their business to the next level.”
The WOSB Federal Contract Program will provide greater access to federal contracting opportunities for WOSBs and economically-disadvantaged women-owned small businesses (EDWOSBs). The Program allows contracting officers, for the first time, to set aside specific contracts for certified WOSBs and EDWOSBs and will help federal agencies achieve the existing statutory goal of five percent of federal contracting dollars being awarded to WOSBs.
On Feb. 4, SBA will release instructions on how to participate in the program, as well as launch the secure, online data repository for WOSBs to upload required documents, on its website: www.sba.gov/wosb. SBA will also release an application to become an SBA-approved third party certifier for this program on that date. This will be the first version of the application. SBA welcomes comments and suggestions on this first version of the application.
During the ramp up period over the next several months, SBA is encouraging small business owners to review program requirements and ensure their required documents are uploaded to the repository. WOSBs also will need to update their status in the Central Contractor Registration
(CCR) and the Online Representation and Certification Application (ORCA) to indicate to contracting officers that they are eligible to participate. The General Services Administration is currently updating these systems and they are expected to be completed in April, 2011.
Similarly, the WOSB rule in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), which is the companion to the SBA rule, is now going through final review, and is also expected to be issued by April. With these pieces in place, SBA expects to see the first contracts awarded through the program by the all-important fourth quarter, when the largest percent of federal contracts are awarded.
Every firm that wishes to participate in the WOSB program must meet the eligibility requirements and either self-certify or obtain third party certification. At this time, SBA has not approved any third party certifiers. Regardless of their certification method, WOSBs must also upload required documents proving their eligibility to a secure online data repository developed and maintained by SBA.
To qualify as a WOSB, a firm must be at least fifty-one percent owned and controlled by one or more women, and primarily managed by one or more women. The women must be U.S. citizens and the firm must be considered small according to SBA size standards. To be deemed “economically disadvantaged”, a firm’s owners must meet specific financial requirements set forth in the program regulations.
The WOSB Program identifies eighty-three four-digit North American Industry Classification Systems (NAICS) codes where WOSBs are underrepresented or substantially underrepresented. Contracting officers may set aside contracts in these industries if the contract can be awarded at a fair and reasonable price, the contracting officer has a reasonable expectation that two or more WOSBs or EDWOSBs will submit offers for the contract and the anticipated contract price is not greater than $5 million for manufacturing contracts and $3 million for other contracts.
Each stage of implementation is part of SBA’s mission to make the Program efficient and user-friendly, and to ensure its benefits go only to qualifying WOSBs. SBA is excited to launch this new program to provide WOSBs with increased opportunities to compete for and win federal contracts, ultimately helping WOSBs create and retain more jobs.
For more information on the Women-Owned Small Business Program or to access the instructions, applications or database, please visit www.sba.gov/wosb.

Since it was established in response to an executive order in 1979, the U.S. Small Business Administration’s Office of Women’s Business Ownership has fostered the participation of women entrepreneurs in the economy, especially those who have been historically under-served or excluded. OWBO reaches out to women entrepreneurs through a number of programs that are coordinated through every SBA district office. OWBO’s programs provide business training and counseling, access to credit and capital, and marketing opportunities, including federal contracts.
In 1988 the SBA established the Women’s Business Center Program to better help women overcome continuing barriers to success. Today there are Women’s Business Centers in almost every state.
These centers, along with SBA district offices and other SBA resource partners at thousands of locations nationwide help women entrepreneurs start and grow successful businesses.
Each Women’s Business Center tailors its services to the needs of its individual community. Each provides training in finance, management, marketing, and the Internet, as well as offering access to all of the SBA’s financial and procurement assistance programs.
Training and Counseling
Women’s Business Centers serve a wide diversity of geographic areas, demographic populations, and economic environments. Many centers offer training and counseling in a number of languages and dialects, helping reach underserved markets with a variety of unique and innovative programs.
The return on investment of the program is high, as businesses that receive assistance from WBCs have significantly better survival rates than those that don’t receive similar support. These successful businesses directly affect the communities in which they are located by bolstering the local economies.
Financial Resources
The SBA has a number of loan programs to help women access the credit and capital they need, some of which were designed in response to their. In fiscal year 2009, the SBA backed nearly 10,000 loans worth about $2 billion to women entrepreneurs, while SBA-licensed intermediaries made nearly 1,230 microloans worth over $13.8 million to businesses 51 percent or more women-owned. In FY 2009, 38 women-owned businesses received $26.8 million in investment capital through the SBA’s small business investment companies.
Under the Recovery Act, the SBA has leveraged $375 million in stimulus funds into more than $16 billion in lending to small businesses, almost 20 percent of which has gone to women-owned businesses.
Federal Market Opportunities
The SBA has a number of initiatives to help women secure better access to procurement opportunities. These include online procurement training at www.sba.gov/women; training through its resource partners; matchmaking events, which target both the federal and private procurement arenas; and the 8(a) Business Development Program. The SBA also works with federal agencies to increase contracting opportunities and achieve the government’s 5 percent contracting goal for women-owned small businesses.
Local SBA Resources
There are SBA district offices in every U.S. state and a number of its territories. Local SBA staff can help find other SBA resource partners at thousands of locations, too. To learn more about the SBA’s programs and services for women, contact an SBA district office. A listing can be found at www.sba.gov.

SBA and the Office of Women's Business Ownership collaborate with many organizations to make the best possible resources available to women entrepreneurs. Whether you are a woman interested in starting a business, applying for a business loan, finding government contracting opportunities, or improving an existing business, this page is a good point of reference for you.
Major PartnersNational Women's Business Council
The National Women's Business Council (NWBC) is a federal advisory council created to serve as an independent source of advice and counsel to the President, Congress and the U.S. Small Business Administration on economic issues of importance to women business owners. The council's mission is to promote bold initiatives, policies and programs designed to support women's business enterprises at all stages of development in the public and private sector--from start-up to success to significance.

Hello hanks55 I saw you light on and now your are gone. We are getting nice weather out here. Finally. By Wednesday it should be nicer. Hope all is well. Take care as I am hanging in here. Starshine

 in response to robertoeltiburon...   

Another thing I would like to add here... many women stay in abusive situations because they have no self-esteem. They have been brainwashed to believe they cannot function without their partner. It takes an immense amount of strength and courage to put an end to the cycle of abuse.

 

the domestic violence hotline can help 1−800−799−SAFE(7233)

 in response to robertoeltiburon...   

Am I Being Abused?

CHECKLIST (provided by the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence)

Look over the following questions. Think about how you are being treated and how you treat your partner. Remember, when one person scares, hurts or continually puts down the other person, it's abuse.

Does your partner…
____ Embarrass or make fun of you in front of your friends or family?
____ Put down your accomplishments or goals?
____ Make you feel like you are unable to make decisions?
____ Use intimidation or threats to gain compliance?
____ Tell you that you are nothing without them?
____ Treat you roughly - grab, push, pinch, shove or hit you?
____ Call, text, or email you several times a day or show up to make sure you are where you said you would be?
____ Use drugs or alcohol as an excuse for saying hurtful things or abusing you?
____ Blame you for how they feel or act?
____ Pressure you sexually for things you don't want to do?
____ Make you feel like there "is no way out" of the relationship?
____ Prevent you from doing things you want - like spending time with your friends or family?
____ Try to keep you from leaving after a fight or leave you somewhere after a fight to "teach you a lesson"?


Do you…
____ Sometimes feel scared of how your partner will act?
____ Constantly make excuses to other people for your partner's behavior?
____ Believe that you can help your partner change if only you changed something about yourself?
____ Try not to do anything that would cause conflict or make your partner angry?
____ Always do what your partner wants you to do instead of what you want?
____ Stay with your partner because you are afraid of what your partner would do if you broke-up?


If any of these are happening in your relationship, talk to someone. Without some help, the abuse will continue.

 in response to krswht...   I FIGURE SINCE I'M HERE ALREADY I MIGHT AS WELL ASK & HOPEFULLY MAKE A DIF IN SOME POOR GIRLS LIFE. I stumbled into this website by just clicking advice for abused women. It seems like every so often I run into a woman who's either in an abusive relationship or has been. The ones that are don't know they in an abusive relationship because they are "in love" or are "stuck here till I can get my shyt together; don't have any other choice right now". EITHER WAY, I don't know what to tell them when I talk to them. I don't even know how to differentiate between being abused and having low self esteem and feeling they don't deserve better. IS THERE SOMEWHERE, A PARAGRAPH, A POEM, A LIST OR SOMETHING THAT I CAN POST THAT WILL HOPEFULLY OPEN THEIR EYES. SOMETHING THAT WILL MAKE THEM SAY "HEY, THAT'S ME, I'M BEING ABUSED & DIDN'T EVEN KNOW IT." OR "WOW, I GUESS I DON'T DESERVE IT AND I JUST DIDN'T KNOW I WAS JUST BRAINWASHED." WHATEVER IS AVAILABLE I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE IT FOR THE FUTURE. I PROBABLY WON'T COME BACK HERE EVER AGAIN BUT I FIGURE SINCE I'M HERE ALREADY I MIGHT AS WELL ASK & HOPEFULLY MAKE A DIF IN SOME POOR GIRLS LIFE. (ROBERTO EL TIBURON , THAT'S MY FACEBOOK PAGE).

 in response to hanks55...   I agree with you there is a lot of problems in this country and I can't write a check a bad one but we can be trillions of dollars in the hole. We just have to call, email, fax the ones in power period.
Your mom needs to get a trust not only a will. I think as out here a will the house would have gone to probate verses to us without a trust and mom's house had been paid for. Sorry for your loss of brother and the other in prison. I had a cousin do time in prison long story ,, he was a bouncer at a bar , big man.
Your grand daughter is pretty . Cute too
Starshine

 in response to Starshine...   Yes planned parenthood is facing some problems now for sure, but think they brouth some of it on themselves...A lot of people do not like that planned parenthood using tax payers dollars for killing babies i see on tv.
There is a big problem in this country now and it does not have the money to keep going like it is. Bush spent 9 trillion dollars over 8 years but Obama has spent 5 trillion dollars in just over 26 months in office. Someone needs to get on the job before no one can get SS, SSI, SSDI, Medicare, Medcaid, and so on.
The states are going broke and all the unions wnat is more money. They just dont get it or dont care what happens down the road. I cannot stand the fact that the the Dems and Reps. dont get it as well. Need to kick them all out and start over I think....
My mom may have a will but not sure. She does not see fit to tell me anyting. I'm not sure that she has told my 2 brothers either. In any case I guess she will sometime down the road. I do know she told me that she has no life ins. but has grave site...
I had one younger brother to die back in 2000 and one younger is in prision until 2030. My youngest brother is living at home with mom, because she cannot make it on her own. The home was paid for with cash by my grandfather when it was built back in 1973. Both of her cars are paid for as well so that is good.
I'm just not sure what she is going to do. She did state some time back that she might sell home and move into condo...Who Knows...
My grand daugther ...Isnt she pertty ?
Well I'm going to eat some lunch, you take care and talk again soon...Monty

 in response to hanks55...   Hello
Cats were meant to be outside. Safer inside but they were meant to be outside. Have your mom get a living trust and in the blank trust have her write down who gets what and have it nortrized. Then when the end comes the will goes and the trustee goes into effect. In fact she can start to give away personal items when she feels fit. Death brings out the greedy for sure and that is not good for any of us. My rich boss his dad is left and his dad is well off. His sister is well of and married to an attorney and he dreads the day his dad dies as his sister will give him hell over the money. What is left.
I think in due time is the country doesn't turn around and more get feed up there will be our own up revolution. No one knows what to do but the only alternative is to live with others to cut the cost of living.
Who would have thought we be in this mess. Manager told me yesterday he sees people shopping and he said I can't. Like to see those people save their money as it is not going to get better or help someone who needs it. It will be a rat race to see who can get what food etc...See facebook petition for planned parenthood not to close it.
They want to close everything. What a mess
hey take care
Starshine

 in response to Starshine...   I can understand losing a loved one. I 'm sure glad I have a home where my cats can play outside. They love it outside and I yet them in at times and they are in only a short time and want to go right back out catching birds, mice and just I guess !
Some people can be a real pain in the butt ! Have no clue what will happen when my mother will past and what my brothers will want to do...I;m sure it will be a mess...I will be glad when the warm weather comes back as well. I's 37 here today and raining. A little colder and it will turn into snow I guess. I do not know what to do anymore whit the country going to Hell In A Handbag !
Dont know if the goverment is going to close down and cannot get SSDI check....WHO KNOW'S...
Take Care

 in response to hanks55...   I kept thinking about my cat last night and all I wanted to add to his blog spot I did. I really miss him even though he could be a handful. It was a better life for us at the house with the yard and him being able to go in and out of course me the door man through all of this. I miss the house and hate it here. Only if my sister would have sold me her share in the begging instead of being greedy and stubborn plus non communicative. Everything would have been settled. Some people are just butt heads to put it nicely when there is death in family and she is one. Such is life.

 in response to hanks55...   Hi hanks55. Hanging in here but leg is something else. I slept like crap and went to bed sometimes after breakfast and then by 5pm.

Do you still have those headaches? I hope you feel better soon. Miss hearing from you.
Many people in dire straits over housing and buying HUD home maybe so I posted your link today for one lady and her hubby.
Take care
