After getting married a year ago at ages 81&78, my wife and I created this ‘bucket list,’ with the hope someone will grant us the opportunity to trave to as far as affordable – to see the ‘Beauty of God’s Plan. Neither of us has had the opportunity to ‘see the world,’ as we both were busy, -individually – raising 10 kids (collectively). We got married – and as geriatrics, and retirees, we would like to travel to see what lies beyond those hills.
We both – individually- have interesting stories which highlight God’s blessings and protection. I am a prostate cancer and West Nile virus survivor. This latter part of my life is dedicated to service the needs of the homeless and destitute people in my area. (https://www.hnbfoundation.org). My wife has recently released her life story in a book titled, ‘From the Cotton fields to Ph.D.’ She started working in the cotton fields of Arkansas at age 6, and later as a single mom, she went on to earning her doctorate in Social Work. As a social worker for 30 years, and a single-parent foster mothe, and now being advanced in ages, we are turning the pages of our ‘bucket list.’
We hope to document our travels to encourage others – especially in our age brackets, to get out and see the world. It’s Never Too Late!’ We hope to be talking with others we meet along the way, getting to know people and share experiences…
This may not sound as important to others vying for support from the same source, we know there is someone out there who needs the encouragement to ‘live on,’ and that we hope to give!
URGENT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE NEEDED: STRUGGLING TO MEET ESSENTIAL PAYMENTS
Dear Begging Money Community,
I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out to you today with a heavy heart and a sincere plea for your support during these challenging times. I find myself facing significant financial difficulties due to recent circumstances beyond my control, and I am seeking your generosity to help me navigate this difficult period.
At my current job, several employees, including myself, have been impacted by layoffs caused by our company’s financial challenges. As a result, we have been unable to receive our full paychecks every two weeks. The uncertainty surrounding my employment and the limited job opportunities in the current market have made it exceptionally difficult for me to secure alternative employment.
Compounding my financial strain is the burden of my car loan and credit card payments. I had purchased for 20,000 my first car in September and have diligently made my monthly payments thus far. However, due to the sudden reduction in income, I am now struggling to keep up with both my car loan and credit card payments simultaneously. Regrettably, my bank account does not currently hold sufficient funds to cover these obligations.
I am genuinely seeking your support to alleviate this financial burden and enable me to meet my essential financial commitments. Your generous donations will provide me with the means to continue making timely payments on my car loan most importantly ensuring that I can retain my vehicle, which is vital for my daily transportation needs.
Please understand that any assistance you can provide, no matter how small, will make a significant difference in my life. I am committed to using the funds responsibly and solely for the purpose of meeting my financial obligations.
I am reaching a goal of 20,000. You can paypal me your donations at this link https://www.paypal.me/34Q
I am immensely grateful for your consideration and support during this challenging period.
Thank you for your compassion and kindness. Together, we can make a positive impact and help me overcome this financial hurdle.
With heartfelt appreciation,
Shae

I’ve been struggling for years now, I’ve wasted the better part of my teenage years. I’m 19 now, still haven’t got a license, still living at home. I (“got”) dropped out of school shortly before graduation because I couldn’t function in a class environment like everyone else. That’s one year ago now, my mental health has improved greatly, but if you saw me you’d still think I have nothing to show for it all. Which is true.
I want to be a novelist (cause who doesn’t?), I’ve known that since I was sixteen. When I was so close to saying goodbye to the world, but didn’t, I figured whatever is next, it’s a bonus on top of what I would have left with. Gratuity.
So here I am, holding down a minimum wage job hauling around chairs when I’m not getting all sorts of paper cuts working in the office. My plan is to get my license (3k) and buy an old Volvo station wagon (3k) and just go off into the world, meet new people, see the country, live small.
It’s not easy being autistic. First, I didn’t want to accept the diagnosis, but over time, seeing how people treat me, even my friends, it became obvious to me not only what’s “wrong” with me but how I got here, how I turned into everything I swore I’d never be. I’m a good person, the only person I’m not nice with is myself. In any case, that doesn’t change a thing. Actually I’m only still writing to crack the 400 word mark so I can post this. I hope I could convince you to help out. Without your donation, I wouldn’t be able to get on the road for another six months. And I don’t know how much longer I can do this job. It drains me. I’ve “wasted” a whole year already writing a novel that won’t sell. Good thing I saved the better outline for attempt no 2, cause last January I really didn’t write very well.
I know you don’t give a crap – oh, oversharing. Actually, if you find the right person it’s the best thing ever, just being honest and true. When you can just be yourself and not worry about how draining it is to put everything you want to do through this filter that is all you ever learned about how others behave, how you need to try and behave – no stimming for me is the hardest – and yeah, I don’t know where I’m going with this either. But that’s the thing. If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will take you there. So if you feel like chipping in that would be very much appreciated.
