Begpacker – Tourists who travel backpacker-style without sufficient funds but ask for donations, freebies, and handouts from locals. I guess that I most identify with this category.

I’m not going to lie and I know some will not like that I am begging for money. It may seem frivolous but I see people asking for money for things I never had, prom, a honeymoon, etc. I didn’t run up a lot of credit card debit that I can’t pay. I paid my medical bills without help from others. At my age and the health I’m in, I am not able to work, and save money.

I have struggled all my life just to make ends meet. Sometimes getting so far behind I thought I would never get the bills paid. I don’t need money to pay the bills. What I don’t have money for is FUN. I love to travel. I am a senior citizen with a bucket list.

Twenty years ago I had a job-related accident. It caused me to develop a condition called RSD (Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy), now called Type II CRPS. Then 10 years ago I survived a blockage of the LAD artery in my heart. That is informally known as the Widowmaker. As of right now my health is relatively good.

I would love to have a small camper. It would allow me to travel with less expense. Motel rooms are out of the question on my income. Walmart parking and Cracker Barrel parking lots are free. I have a National Park Access Pass (for the disabled) that allows me to visit National parks free. Camping is also 50% off in most National Parks.

The camper I’m looking at can be towed with my car. Most campers are to heavy for my car to tow. It is called a Runaway. It is basically a box with an air conditioner. You have to furnish it with a bed, cooler, storage, etc. I have a wish list at Amazon for some of those things. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3UM9110WZZWSY?ref_=wl_share.

A new car is also out of the question. I can’t afford that either. My car is 15 years old. If by some miracle I raise more money than needed for the camper the extra money would be put away for a car.

I have managed to save a little bit, but with the prices of everything going up it could take me years to save enough. I don’t have years.

I would like to thank you in advance for your donation. Any amount would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Kind Ones,

  Last year was tough for me and put me in severe financial risk, which I continue to struggle to bounce back. I am a first-time homeowner very grateful for the opportunity. Within a few months of moving in, the ceiling started to leak and eventually the roof caved in on me. The house passed inspection beforehand, just a case of dumb luck.  I reached out to my homeowners’ insurance to file a claim and was strung along with vague responses. This went on for months with no true resolution on the horizon, all the while I was living in a structurally unsafe place.  I had to retain a lawyer to get the insurance company to do their job to help me out.  As you can imagine I was livid that the insurance company I’ve paid to have my back in an unforeseen life event just left me hanging in the balance. I was trying my best to put a brave face on while my mental health suffered. As the insurance dispute played out. My car was vandalized, the catalytic converter was stolen while parked at my employer, they didn’t want to get involved. Thankfully in this case my car insurance sprang into action quickly, but I still had to pay out of pocket costs for repairs not covered. The aftermath of these life events e.g., legal fees, home interior cost not covered, car repairs have left me in heavy debt to be exact $20,000 and no savings.  I’m having to put my pride aside by writing this plea for money, but I also know if you don’t speak up nothing happens. I’m hoping 2022 will bring a brighter financial outcome. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.  Please share this message and thanks for taking the time to read.

In September of 2018, I had to leave my job driving a truck, due to ongoing physical issues. At the time I was staying with my daughter and son-in-law and their three children. In October the same year my daughter and I had a falling-out and I left to stay with my aunt and cousin in another city. At this point I was extremely depressed and had major anxiety. I began to feel that I had no other way out but to try to take my own life. So that’s what I did in December of 2018.

I was found, taken to a hospital and released to my daughter just before Christmas. I only stayed there with my daughter and her family for 2 days. I had another physical issue come up and had to go to the emergency room so my daughter took me. When I was at the hospital my daughter decided she could not deal with me and my problems anymore. So she decided to leave me there and tell me that I could not stay with her anymore. I had no other family or anyone else to help me. And that was the beginning of my homelessness on Christmas Eve of 2018.

I had a car and my daughter bought me a phone and gave me some money and some gift cards so I could have something to eat. So I lived out of my car and panhandled in order to survive. I was homeless up until March of this year 2021. I was able to get housing after two-and-a-half years of being on a list. But my physical issues are worse than they have ever been and it is even more difficult for me to Panhandle as I have problems walking and have to use a walker. I was able to get food stamps but I have no other income. I have filed for SSDI but have not heard the outcome of it yet.

At this time I have food and a place to stay, but that’s it. I have no way to purchase other things such as clothes, shoes, feminine products or the like and other Sundries.

I’m asking for any help you could possibly give so that I could at least be able to buy toilet paper and laundry soap and be able to wash my clothes. I don’t have much because I lost everything when I became homeless and couldn’t pay for the storage bin.

If you have read this completely, thank you for your time and if you are able to donate, I thank you so much for your help.

Every since Covid, my life has been more and more in debt, to the point where I almost lost everything, but I had 1 last chance. Well I messed up that chance. I thought that I was more up to date on my car payments, but I wasn’t and it got repossessed. When I had my car, I would uber on the side to help make ends meet, and right now I am very worried about the future. Between the start of Covid and now, I lost my job and had to get unemployment, and had to uber when I could for bills. I took out a few credit lines to help with money as well, because depression hit and I wasn’t able to uber for quite some time. Right now im paying back all those loans and I am drowning in repayments. I could get somewhat back on my feet if I was able to pay them all off which is roughly $10K. I could turn my life around and not have to worry about what will happen next. Please if you can help, it would be very much appreciated.

First let me start off by simply indicating that I am in a very tough position as well as millions of Americans and other partnering countries. When the pandemic first hit, I didn’t think that it would be as bad as it initially turned out to be. I was laid off in March of 2020, but I was lucky to find another job in that same week. However I ended up losing about 10 weeks worth of pay when I had to quarantine on 3 separate occasions due to being in close contact with co-workers that tested positive for Covid-19. My job like a million other jobs had more than 500 employee’s within the US, so they were not required to pay us for loss time at work due to Covid-19 situations. I filed for PUA immediately, but as of today; nearly a year later my funds have still yet to be released. I have tried to get to the bottom of the issue for months and to no prevail have i been successful. I have written letters and I call the hotline number several times a week, the stories or rather explanations change so much at this point that I have requested help from my state representative. I am currently waiting to hear back from them.

I thought that by now I would received  both of my missed stimulus payments along with my 2020 income taxes, or at least one so that I can catch-up on some of my bills that I am behind on. I am currently working with a tax advocate that is advocating with me to resolve the issues that are delaying my taxes from being released into my bank account. As of yesterday, May 6th of 2021 my account status and details are not available.

Yesterday I asked my eldest child to go into their siblings room to retrieve some clothes that I needed to take to the wash, and as my child was getting the clothes from the back end of the bed that’s when my child noticed a stain and something crawling on the bed sheets. My child immediately called for me to come in to the room and investigate what that might have been. At the time i wasn’t fully aware or had any idea of what it might have been. So I started doing some research online and later that day I was able to get an exterminator to come out and inspect the room that we saw the bug in. After the exterminator completed the inspection, it was then discovered that our home had bed bugs. And after further investigation I found out that one of my relatives had them really bad in their home and there was a strong possibility that that was where the bugs came from in my home. Because my relatives young aged child has spent a few nights with my child in the past. So the exterminator quoted me a price that is just out of this world. He said that it would cost me 1500 dollars to treat the beg bug issue in my home. At this very moment and time I can barely afford tennis shoes for my kid’s, alone 1500 dollars to treat a bed bug issue.

I reached out to the property management company that I am renting my property from. Later that evening they  sent me a disclousure explaining in grave detail that after a unit has been occupied for over 90 days and it is discovered that there is any bug infestation issue then the issue would have to be rectified between the tenant and a local or nonlocal exterminator contractor. After receiving their initial response, I looked up tenant and landlord rights and responsibilities in SC. After reading and deeply deciphering laws and how those laws apply to my situation, and looking over my lease agreement with a fine tooth comb; it was there in plain sight. Pretty much the content said that it was my responsibility to hire someone to get rid of any and all bug infestation issues after a grace period of 90 days.

I called my local DHEC office and spoke with a representative to see it there were any non-profit organizations or charities that I could reach out to for assistance and she couldn’t locate one within my geographical region. I have spent hours researching for help online and that’s when i ran across this page. I knew it would be a long shot but why not. When you need help, you need help. I am not asking for cash. I would be so grateful and appreciative if I could just forward my information for services and that the kind soul can just pay in-person or by phone so that this issue can be rectified immediately. I don’t want to let my problem trample over into someone’s else household. Please, Please can someone please help me and my family!

Love,

Badly need help! [Read more…]

First of all I apologize if u have already read my post but I cant find it and I’m sure I didnt put my PayPal address on here and also I’m new to this. I dont even know if it’s real. But I hope n pray it is. I’m in a 6 yrs long relationship with a man that is abusive.  We have a 5 yr old son together.  He used to be physically abusive and now its mental abuse and it’s just as bad if not worse. Far as the physical abuse, he used to choke my till I was close to blacking out, I have gotten drug out the door and down the steps by the hair of my head, he gave me the first black eye I have ever had, when I was 5 months pregnant with our son he choked me on the floor I couldn’t breathe so I was doing anything I could to get up and scratched his face trying to get up, the law was called I guess by the neighbor and when they arrived I went to jail 5 months pregnant because the WOMAN cop saw he had the scratch and I was in jail 48 hours. That’s just the beginning of it . People always say WELL JUST LEAVE. It is not the easy in an abusive relationship just to pack up and leave. For me I’m a stay at home mom that homeschooled my son. His abusive dad has beat me down so much mentally also that I lay awake at night thinking of the things he has called me and done to me. He tells me I’m a piece of crap mom, and I’m ruining our son by being a stay at home mom, he tells me he wishes I wasnt Tristans mom. By the way that is my little boys name ( Tristan) his dad’s name is Jon. Jon has told me he hates me 100 times and that he wishes I would die so many times. He blames me for EVERYTHING that happens as far as arguments and fights it’s always my fault. Yes I have called the law and the neighbors have have more then anything and EVERYTIME they insisted that I be the one to go find somewhere to stay that night because it 9 out of 10 times happens at night when hes good and drunk. But the cops always insist I wake my son up and go somewhere and stay the night . I cant do that and they never insist that he leave and go stay somewhere so nothing ends up getting done about it. And after they leave I go through hell more. I stopped calling them because if anything I END UP PAYING FOR IT. I have a car to drive but it’s in his name .He has taken the license plates off of it so I cant drive it, he has done something to make it not crank a few times so I couldn’t drive it, he has told me ( BITCH IF YOU TAKE OFF IN THAT CAR I WILL CALL THE LAW AND REPORT IT STOLEN). The car anyway is old and when I’m allowed to drive. The car has left my son and me stranded so many times because it wouldn’t crank up. I remember one time before he got that car he was taking me somewhere that I needed to go early one morning and the whole way there we were arguing over him not wanting to take me so when we get there I get out and and go the the back passenger door to get my son out. I grab the door handle and Jon takes off. It almost ripped my hand off and I got slung down in the parking lot in the dark because it was early morning. He speeds off with my son leaving me laying in a dark cold parking lot with my pocketbook and everything in it all over the ground. He just left me laying didnt even care if he had ran over my hand or foot . He just left and I couldn’t get him on the phone all day to find out WHERE MY SON IS. He would let me know and mind you my son is with me 24 hours a day 7 days a week. I was so worried.  Finally late that evening Jon brought him home THANK GOD. Because if always had it in the back of my mind that he may one day take my son and leave for good because he tells me he hates that I’m Tristans mom. I do the VERY BEST I can at being a mom. And Jon has called DSS on me before and ask them how to get a child taken from their mother ( talking about me). The DSS lady told me that he ask her that. I have taken out a DVO on him before and he kept texting me telling me how so sorry he was that he realizes what he has lost and that he misses us because at the time he was NOT allowed no where around me or Tristan . Well eventually he had convinced me that he was truly sorry and would change so I dropped the DVO and about a week later he started the abuse again. About a month later after dropping the DVO we had gotten evicted out of the apt that we lived in. After he had gotten everything out of the apt because everything is his and he reminds me of that frequently but after he had gotten everything out he leaves Tristan and me standing at the front door of an empty apt with a few cloths and things beside me. While he was backing out I asked him WHAT ABOUT US. His response was Tristan has a place with me at mom’s, and see them trees FOR ALL I CARE BRIDGET YOU CAN GO LIVE IN THOSE WOODS. 😞 My dad and mom helped and Tristan to stay in a hotel for a while but they cant help but so much. Eventually he gets another apt and Tristan and me move in with him because it’s either be homeless or move in with him. And all I wanted was a roof over my sons head and a home where I could take care of him. Sometimes I wanna just give up but I know I have to keep going for Tristan. And I think to myself ,Well for one thing if I leave he will not let me take the car that he claims to have gotten for me. So if I left I would be careless. I wouldn’t have a home, I dont have any money at all, no credit cards . I never have any money.  Jon works but it’s hard to get any money from him. Guys whoever’s is reading this and I hope this is real and someone will PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME AND MY SON. I could go on all day long and I probably haven’t told everything I wanted to. But I figure I dont want to make whoever’s reading this to have to read a book. If there is any help out there I would be so grateful, and thankful beyond words. I dont like begging AT ALL but I dont know what else to do.

So PLEASE AND THANK YOU. SINCERELY Bridget White😘 One more thing, I’m gonna put my PayPal account here because I’m not sure where to put it at where people can see it. paypal.me/Bridgetdawn76
