About mtubbs

Hi, my name is marquis tubbs. i joined the site one to network and 1) because i really need help to get back in school. im trying to go to the art institute but i cant go right now because i have a federal student loan that i have not yet repaid.

all i wasn't to do is get back in school and make something out of myself. i'm only 20 years old going on 21 and i need some type of escape from this hell im living in. thats why i want to go to school somewhere. in 2008 i went to prison for some things that i wasn't even guilty of and that really really hurt me and i found out the same day i went to jail that i was HIV positive. I see all types of ppl looking at me weird now. i feel like that man on Oprah who the town wanted to quarantine because he jumped in a pool with aids.i mean people should think before they say or do things. i know i made some mistakes but i am not a bad person at all. i really do enjoy helping people and seeing their faces when i do it. any help counts and i try not to turn anyone down if i can help them. but now it's like im at a point where i cant help myself nor does anyone else around here seem to want to help me. I just want someone to trust in me like i do and possibly help me out. someway. yes i've made mistakes in the past but now is my time for redemption i need to provr to my family and myself that i can make a believer out of myself. that i can do what i say i can and be what i want to be. i really appreciate any and everyone that are taking they're time out to read this.

 

Thank You,

Marquis Tubbs

Please help save Olivia's life. 

We had financial means to pay for our adoption of this little girl who is currently overseas in an orphanage.  It fell through and donations are slowly trickling in.  We still have $20k left to raise, scary in this economy we know.  But we need to bring her home, she deserves so much more than what is offered in her country.  She has a medical condition including a minor heart problem.  Her country cannot offer her the medical help she needs.  She is only 3 and deserves so much more!  Our 6 year old little boy is looking forward to having a sister (finally!).  Any donation amount truly helps us get closer to Olivia.  We have looked into loans, grants, asking friends and family, etc.  The race is on to get her, please help us.  Donations are tax deductible if you donate directly to her sponsorship page here:

Hello, I am a 46 year old woman living alone.  I have been HIV positive since 1993.  I am on SSI and Section 8 helps pay my rent.  I am having a really hard time financially right now.  I only receive $98 per month in food stamps and my cupboards are bare.  My car that I have been driving for the past 10 years has finally decided to play out.  I am in desperate need of a car so that I can get to my doctor appts, physical therapy, pain mgmt., etc.   And not only do I need a vehicle for my medical appts but also for my quality of life.  I am very independent and I dont like to ask for a ride every time I need to go somewhere.  Sometimes I like to just get in the car and ride out through the beautiful countryside here in GA just to clear my mind of all the stuff I'm dealing with.   My credit is horrible and I only recieve a little over $600 per month to survive on.  Does anybody have any ideas on how I can acquire a dependable vehicle.  I really am desperate and completely stressed out about this.  And stress is detrimental to my health.  I am very proud of my independence and capabilities, I dont like to ask for help, but when I know I have no other choice I have to set my pride aside and ask......so thats what I'm doing here....I'm asking for some much needed help.

Living With An STD

Back when I was just a teenager I ended up getting an STD that was over 10 years ago and yep still got it.

People don't really relize just how easy it is. I wasn't a slut or an easy girl I only had two boyfriends in highschool. Any way because my man of five years left me and now I'm all alone I decided to give something back and build a community where people like me can find love without the hassle of telling them that I'm essencially damaged goods.

It was reasonably hard to do as I'm not very tech savy but I did get a friends of mine to give me a hand. Its a pretty good little STD Dating site and it's free with no ads or anything just there to help out all the people that are going through the same thing I am. Plus it kept me bussy for a while and got my mind off of all the other crap I was dealing with.

Help us help others

I am here to solicit help for causes that I support that are being carried out by MEDA-USA in rural Cameroon.
This organization is made purely of volunteers who contribute money to help 22 villages in the Moghamo area of Cameroon, West Africa to sponsor kids orphaned by AIDS, provide scholarship to poor kids, to provide basic drinking water, to provide skills training to rural women.

Watch this video to learn more.

I really need help to make a difference.
Anything you can do will be very much appreciated.

Aid for aid

I need some form of transportation. All I have for exchange is information, research, humor,advice and stories of a crazy life. Also, honesty, empathy and loyalty. Great listener!! I am not a person to take advantage. Life's dealt me some hard blows, but that's all the more reason to aid others. I feel a bit akward doing this, so I won't put my 'sob story' on here. If you would like more information, feel free to email me @ ataraxis420@yahoo.com (almost bought the farm 4/20/04). Hey, evena 'good luck' would help! :-)

Welcome

Welcome! I would like to introduce myself. I am a 46 year old guy living with HIV, with a wife of 14 years and a wounderful, 12 year old son. I desperately need transportation. Walking far hurts too much now. I'm hoping to get a scooter & gear to save gas money. I'm hopefully returning to school tgis winter or next spring to learn a new career. We aren't making it just on my disability. Please, if you can help, I'll find some wat to pay you back. THANKS, Mike
