Life has been insanely unfair and chaotic. I was working at the same place for 12yrs, when an unexpected knee injury took me out of work for what was supposed to be 12 weeks. That turned into 24 weeks with an additional surgery from a neck injury(car accident). My job was no longer protected and I lost the position I worked incredibly hard for, for over a decade. I am physically limited on how much i can do for at least a couple more months and bills are piling up. My family could only help so much as everyone is struggling in this economy. I just need enough to keep a roof over both my son and I’s heads until I can get back to the grind and cover things myself. This is my hail mary, I don’t know what else to do.

Life is a collection of experiences that shape and mold us into the individuals we

become. It is through these encounters that we learn and grow as the people God

Hello everyone, my name is William Steele and I’m a 60-year-old IT Specialist that recently lost my job at a large Telecommunication Company because the company starting downsizing early 2024 due to decreased revenues. This unfortunate event has put me in a dire strait situation as I did not receive any severance pay from the company after being employed by them for over 6 years.

I did apply for unemployment benefits from the TX Workforce Commission (TWC) and was deemed eligible for unemployment pay but when I requested my first payment it was rejected. The TWC stated in their decision letter the following reason “you did not perform your work to the employer’s standards although you had previously demonstrated you were capable of doing adequate work. I have since requested an appeal to try and over turn this decision, because I followed the defined company standards the whole time I was employed by that company. I have also recently received an update on my appeal request from TWC that stated “Your appeal has been processed and your case is being scheduled for a hearing. We are experiencing a large volume of hearing requests and we will schedule your hearing as soon as possible. You will receive written notice of the hearing date and time through the U S Mail when your hearing is scheduled”. I have not yet received that written appeal hearing in the mail.

This response from TWC is very concerning as my current funds are limited and have a possibility of being exhausted before my appeal hearing is even scheduled. My only hope is to either receive funds from generous people reading this post or obtaining employment before running out of money.

I am actively seeking employment and willing to accept an offer that will allow me to maintain my current household budget or a lesser amount on a temporary basis. I had to withdrawal all of my retirement funds so I can pay rent, utility bills, car insurance, medical bills, and credit card bills. But those retirement funds are running out as the months progress. The money I currently have in the bank is all the money I have to my name.

To help alleviate some bill payments I have enrolled into a debit relief program to consolidate a high interest personal loan and most of my credit card bills. Making this difficult decision does help with the stress of worrying about making timely payment on debit, but will add to future issues when trying to obtain employment, rental applications, loans, and credit cards.

I am 2 years away from retirement and have researched out to family members not for money, but for a place to live temporarily if my situation worsens in the near future. The reason I did not ask my older siblings for money is because they all are retired and are barely making ends meet on their social security benefits. I’m glad that both my parents are not live to see the unfortunate situation I find myself in today.

To help make it through these rough times I’m hoping this message finds charitable people that can give whatever they can to help me get back on my financial feet. I’m not looking for a hand out but a helping hand up. My goal is to receive enough money to terminate my current apartment lease and pay for moving expenses. Estimated cost around $10,000. If I receive enough funds, I will be moving back to the east coast where I will be closer to family that can support my living situation temporarily. Moving back to the east coast will also greatly increase my chances of finding employment in my career field.

My name is Julie, and this is my situation.

Recently, I was offered a work from home job that seemed like a great opportunity. I had to work 30 days in a probationary status before I was paid for those 30 days. Then it would go to a biweekly payday. I can’t lie. I knew it would be tough because I’d been laid off prior to this job since May 17. I had savings but, those went out the door rather quickly when You don’t have an income coming in.

It was finally payday and when I didn’t get my normal text from my bank when funds were deposited, I started to worry that something was wrong. I checked and there were no funds deposited. I tried to call my contacts and there was no answer and the online portal I’d been using all month wouldn’t accept my credentials.

Unfortunately, I discovered that the job was a scam, and I was never compensated for my work. I was already struggling so this has only added to my financial burden. I am struggling to make ends meet and cover basic living expenses. This experience has also taken a toll on my mental health, causing significant stress and anxiety.

I would appreciate any cash assistance you can give me. That will allow me to pay my basic living expenses and give me some additional time to recover. Thank you in advance for your generosity!!

Hello,

My name is Patrick, for my everything seems to be going wrong all at once.  I am paying an exorbitant amount of medical coverage for my child which is 1333 per month, which was put in place by the court. I am l also paying child support of 600.00 per month which I don’t have a problem with.

I was able to do overtime to be able to handle this but my overtime stopped. I also had another work-from-home job to help, but because  my overtime stopped , I could not pay my internet bill to keep that job.   So no it is even more of a struggle.

My current job has also just cut our hours from 40 to 35 and even with that we have some slow days so we may get as little as 32 hours per week.  They have also mentioned laying my job function of to save money.  The company has overhired and business is slowing down, so they need to make cuts.

To try and make sure my landlord  was paid every week I would not go to the laundromat to wash my clothes. I would wash them in the sink.  Also i would go to the pantry to get food and not to the store.

If I could get maybe 5,000 I could get caught back up with everything and maybe have a little bit of a nest egg for a rainy day.  I expect that to come soon with the upcoming layoff probably in October.

Hello,

My husband recently had a massive stroke, he is the breadwinner of the family, we have 4 kids, I am a stay at home mom. My husband is a hard worker, the money we had saved to buy a home will now be used to live off of for a few months, but if he doesn’t return to work, we will have to move in with family out of state, please help us, as soon as he is able to he will return to work.

I am a full time employed single mom of the teenage daughter and one who has recently moved in her own place. I have been a single mom for 15 years and always worked hard to make ends meet. Yet,last year my youngest daughter got diagnoised with depression, Tourettes, Non-epileptic seizures, neurological disorder, and OCD. I work as cook at a local veterans hospital and as a Government employee I was not eligible for paid FMLA. All time I unpaid. Take care of  was unpaid. I am back to work but have medical debt and now struggling to pay bills. Overtime or a extra job isn’t a option as she needs supervision while not in school, even at 15 yrs old. I have been doing ok till this month. I ran over nails needing new tires, a water hose break destroying my pantry and all the food in it, and back to school supplies. I have been able to pay everything but my rent. My landlord was great helping fix the hose ( my fault) and holding the late fees on rent for me but I still have no funds to pay rent and the next rent will be coming feom my next pay check. Loans are not an option with my medical debt at the moment. I just need a very small push to get back in the game and on track. Please help me keep a roof over my daughters head and food on our table.

1. With my vehicle currently down, I’m not able to secure delivery work. I am two months behind on rent and in need of funds to get my vehicle back on the road so I can pay my own way. Family and friends have helped all they could, but they have their own situations to keep up.
2. I am in need of $2,000-$3,000 to catch up the rent and get a quality mechanic to get my vehicle back on the road to work. This is something I’ve never done and I would be entirely grateful for the help and assistance.

You reading this means a lot to me, and I am very thankful for your time. At the beginning of 2024, my father suffered a fall which caused him to go to the hospital. He is in his mid 60s. He has been dealing with arthritis for many years among other health problems, including diabetes and chronic pain. This pain in his knees and legs would get so bad that his walking would be impacted, and unfortunately it finally resulted in him tripping and falling. He had to stay in the hospital for over a month, and then to a nursing home for therapy for another month. Despite him finally being home, his knees were still in horrible condition. If he did not get them fixed, he absolutely would eventually get hurt again, and be in the same situation he just endured. With this knowledge, and with the pleas by me and others, my father finally had the knee replacement surgery he needed for years now. More therapy and pain came afterwards. There was a moment of relief, but he still needed the other knee replaced. He finally got his other knee replaced in August. Throughout these many months up until now, many obstacles and outside problems approached my father. He had to deal with someone using his debit card to make unauthorized purchases while he was in the nursing home. He had to help his mother, who lived in another state, get rid of bed bugs that were brought into her home. He had to deal with his Medicaid being threatened. It was temporarily removed, but was restored. His truck broke down while we tried moving things to sell, which caused more issues with a tow fee. Just many problems big and small that just piled up on my father, who was in a physical and mental state weaker than ever before.  I have managed to help my father the best that I could. I helped him with applying and restoring his Medicaid online among other application help, and have helped pick up his medicine for him when he could barely walk.

My father is a hard worker who worked on two legs that, at times, felt like two exploding bombs with every step he took. But with the fall and surgeries, he has not been able to work at all besides the small periods of time before his first and second surgeries. We had to sell some of our own possessions for him to have some money that could allow him to get his needs. I am so proud of him for overcoming his fears and getting these surgeries he desperately needed. But with all this time not working, my dad’s rent debt grew considerably, and now it’s starting to become a problem that has to be amended soon. Fortunately the person he is renting his space from is very understanding and has been very nice so far. He needs to pay around 7 months of rent (each month being around $650, or about $4550) and I would like to get him some money that can cover the next couple months of rent among other expenses so my dad can start saving and get back on his feet.

All this debt and months of hard work unfortunately made what should have been a period of recovery and relaxation for my father into stress and anxiety. I have never seen my father cry for many, many years until recently due to this. I want to help him so that I can help his body and mind heal. I myself have still been job hunting (very difficult), but I have been doing all that I can supporting him and being there with him.

I am here now asking for help. I want to give my dad much needed relief. This year has been the hardest year of his life, and I want to help him turn it around so that as soon as possible, he can be happy and be at peace again. My father was never rich, and this request is not so that he could be rich. It’s so that he can have a normal life again that was taken away from him at the beginning of this year. Any money received after the rent is covered will be saved and used for future rent and other expenses. That would mean the world to him and me.

Sincerely,

O.P.

Any and all help would be gratefully appreciated. Thank you for your time reading my message. I am hoping for a big break for my father, who deserves happiness for the love he has given me, and the hard work he has done to be able to provide.

Hi- I am a Pilates Teacher whose living situation and work location recently changed due to a divorce. I am getting my business up and running again but am short for September rent due to Labor Day and end of August client vacations.

I am usually able to plan for this in advance but have not had enough traction in my new area of business to get ahead.

My living expenses including car, elec, phone and rent are $3000/ month. I am short $1300 right now and am at risk of losing my new apartment and my reputation in this new town.  $1000 would go to my landlord. $150 to phone and electricity, and $150 to my car insurance.

I would gladly provide 15, 45 min zoom Pilates sessions in exchange for this immediate help.   It would mean the world to me to be able to keep my momentum and I would look forward to enhancing your life with Pilates sessions.  I would also make it a point to help someone in my same situation at some future time.  I truly believe this is how the world goes around.

Thank you for reading this and your consideration regarding my situation.  I am grateful that this website exists.

In devine spirit, Thank you again,

Kristin

I’m a single mother of five and have fallen behind on rent. I have an incurable autoimmune disease which puts me in a state of constant pain. Regardless, I work 2-3 jobs but have had trouble securing a high enough paying job to adequately pay all of the bills.

Rent amounts have increased the last three years and inflation has been a soul-crusher. We’ve been knocked on our back consistently, torn through our savings, and wiped out my 401k.

I’m asking for $10,000 so I can make up back payments, prevent getting kicked out, and have enough for the next two months. With this small buffer of funds we can get a bit of breathing room again and get back on our feet, financially.

My family would be grateful for any amount you would consider sharing with us. I would love to get back on the right side of bills and feel like a competent provider again. Thank you for you kind generosity and contribution.

Life for a single father of two daughters, one of whom has autism, has become a daily battle against mounting financial pressures. After my divorce, the burden of paying alimony and child support has been unrelenting, making it difficult to keep up with basic necessities. With only one income, now significantly reduced due to fewer hours at work, making ends meet has become nearly impossible.

Rent is $974 per month for a cramped one-bedroom apartment. The situation is so tight that I father has had to make the painful decision to sleep on the floor for the past year and a half, allowing his daughters to have the only room. The small space is just another reminder of how far I have fallen from the life I once knew. The constant struggle to provide for my daughters weighs heavily on me. With school starting, I worry about buying new clothes and supplies—expenses that seem insurmountable when every penny is stretched to its limit.

Finding a part-time job has been a frustrating challenge. Despite numerous applications and inquiries, nothing has materialized, leaving me feeling desperate and trapped. The reduced hours at his current job have only exacerbated the situation, with less income coming in and no prospects for additional work on the horizon. Every month is a tightrope walk, balancing rent, bills, and groceries, with little to no room for anything unexpected.

Food on the table is not always a certainty. There have been nights when I have gone without a proper meal to ensure that his daughters are fed. The guilt of not being able to provide enough for them gnaws on me daily. I know that my daughters deserve more—a stable home, enough food, and the small joys that other children take for granted, like new clothes for school. But the reality is that even these basic needs are hard to come by. The thought of failing them keeps him awake at night, staring at the ceiling from his makeshift bed on the floor.

My daughter with autism requires special care and attention, adding another layer of complexity to my already overwhelming life. The extra costs associated with her care further strain the limited budget, leaving even less for other essentials. Despite the challenges, I try to remain strong for my daughters, but the weight of it all is exhausting.

After crunching the numbers, I realize that to gain any sort of breathing room, I need at least two months’ rent saved up. This amount would allow him to catch up on other bills and buy the necessities my daughters need. But even as I dreams of that relief, I know that at this moment, anything would help. Any small bit of assistance could be the difference between sinking further into debt or keeping his head just above water.

Here is my story…well, not really a ‘story’ so to speak but the story of my life.

Mine might be a little different.  Because, I’m perfectly capable.  I’m smart, I have a degree, I’m attractive, creative, have friends, etc.  I have a lot going for me.   I simply got in over my head I guess…

I am from south Texas. I moved back to Texas when I was 30 and spent the last year of my Dad’s life with him.  He died from lung cancer 17 years ago.  My mom was heartbroken, but a survivor.   Her Dad died three months later.  Both the most important men in our lives were gone.   Just like that.   I worked for a liquor distributor for the next 8 years and quit because I didn’t want to be in a bar in my forties and I had started “collecting” cool  things and vintage items and had so many things I had filled up a 20×30 storage room.  I was going to open my own vintage shop.

Mom had been sick, so sick I moved in with her to care for her.  We went to every doctor possible and no one could figure out what was wrong.   Neurologists, endocrinologists, gastroenterologists, immunologists, hematologists, hepatologists, infectious disease doctors, you name it.   FINALLY, after four years of this and different diagnoses of lupus to fever of unknown origin, we discovered she had a very rare blood cancer.   And after all this she got on an oral chemo and it was stabilized.  Something she would simply live with for the rest of her life.  I opened my shop! Two years later Covid happened and my shop closed bc well, the world shut down,   I moved online, two years later Covid was finally ‘over’ and mom went to lunch w friends for first time in two years.   She got Covid.   She died three weeks later in the hospital. My world had just overturned.  She was my mom.  My best friend.  My roommate.  My biggest fan and worst critic.   I thought I was safe at least in my condo she told me would be left to me.  Turns out she didn’t own it, I was given two weeks to vacate and handle her estate.   

Two weeks turned into a month and I moved out.  I was lucky enough to have rented  an old abandoned house from a friend to use as storage when my shop closed.   I moved in there with my four cats from moms and my dog.  I also had 3 cats at storage house. I was in the process of buying this storage house and while still renting with one month left before the buying process began, it was sold out from under me.   I was given $3000 to move out immediately.  Sounds like a lot of money , but it’s not.   It helped me to be able to move in with my boyfriend into a house he was renting.   That was a year ago.  Since then , my boyfriend has been diagnosed with chf and can hardly walk much less work.   My landlord has been super cool but here it is September 1 and after promising her I’d somehow come up with rent, I don’t have it..  my credit card payments are three months behind.  I’m about to be sent to collections Because I can’t afford the minimum payments especially on my care credit card in which my “friend” used in her emergency to get temporary veneers for $4500 and I’m still paying on her $1500 interest .   Some emergency.  

I’ve sold through all of my vintage inventory and have applied for full time jobs despite wanting to continue working for myself. I have an Etsy shop, a print on demand shop, I work for Amazon flex and deliver packages as often as I can almost daily, I give plasma, I design logos for small businesses and can revamp an air Bnb on a budget.  I’m a freelance photographer, I restore and flip furniture and can sell things people leave for trash.  I somehow keep this house clean, keep food in the fridge, keep animals fed and work everyday.  Gas.  Animal food.  Utilities. People food.   I don’t shop for myself.  I went from three dressers and two walk in closets at my moms to one dresser.  I have already been a caretaker and didn’t sign up to be another but here I am supporting two adults, 7 cats (8 including landlords) and now two dogs bc they were going to shoot Hazel which is a whole other story.  

I’m in over my head.  I’m drowning and I need help just to get back on my feet before I am evicted. My landlord is already mentioning selling this house because she moved out of state last month. I don’t know where I would go with my plummeting credit score (which was 760 just a year ago but now I stopped tracking after it fell below 550), my small zoo and small income.  My rent went up to $1000/mo starting today. Which I can totally afford splitting with my boyfriend.   He hasn’t been working and hasn’t paid his half of rent in the last two months I just found out.  I have $65 on a virtual gift card and $60 cash and rent is due..    I’m taking my boyfriend to the hospital today and going to drive for Amazon from 5p-10p for $90.    My utility bill is almost $1000 and I haven’t even paid down on the deposit from a year ago.   I owe over $6k in bills from credit cards which I will eventually pay off, if I can keep them  from sending me to collections.  I find my head wanting to hang as I type all of this out.   But, I do not and will not feel sorry for myself because I work hard and am stronger than most.    I will continue to bust my ass – I could simply use a friend.  It’s so hard to even ask but I Thank you for taking your time to read.. I know all will be okay and I’ll keep moving forward with a smile.   I’m grateful for I’ve been given such an amazing life, with amazing friends, loving pets, a car to drive and a roof over my head.
