I help the poor because I am the poor. There is alot about poverty that this country is unaware of. The technicalities of many of our states broken systems is what makes the cycle so hard to break, Its not having options that lead to some of the worst issues our community faces.  Our Youth is becoming more and more criminally involved as a means to escape poverty. I personally print temporary ID’s for those with expired ID’s that happen to have an unpaid ticket preventing them from renewing it. Why do I do this? So that they can cash their checks and maintain livelihood. I know this is illegal but these people need somebody to watch there back. On the other hand i’m poor as well so I to am low on resources. I’m very smart but I come from a horrible childhood that involved a murdered mom by 3 years old and abusive dad among other homes with other people along the way. My life has been nothing but instability. Homeless by the age of 17. I didn’t have the guidance and support of most kids. As a matter of fact growing up to fast and on your own doesnt offer many oppurtunites. I need my chance to put my bloodline in a better direction in the generations to come. My chance to help the poor without breaking the law to do it. Look at Jeff Bezos richest man in the world. His mother invested $300,000 into her son and he turned it into $100 Billion. Donald Trump wouldn’t be president today if it weren’t for the Million dollar loan his father entrusted in him. My point is I need that, I need to start somewhere, I’m asking to lift me from the bottom for once in my life give me a fair start to show that poverty has diamonds in the ruff to offer society, that can truly better our community due to their first hand knowledge of being dirt poor. My life started with hardship and sorrow and never let up.. I just need a shot at prosperity. That’s it.. Please don’t donate to me cause I’m poor INVEST to open that door, So I too can give back more. My goal is $100,000 or more. Just that initial capital and I’ll take care of the rest.

Hi guys,

I am asking for some help to start up my own business. Currently, I have the website running and product, but I need the funds for the legal aspects of starting up. As it is, I am barely making $30 a month, and that money goes partially back into the business while the rest helps put groceries in my house.

I would have returned back to work full-time, but I just had a baby and childcare is too expensive where I live. I was making $16 an hour and childcare is $15 an hour – my whole paycheck would go to a sitter. As such, so I could avoid this cost and also raise my child, I have become a stay at home mom. Even though we could afford to do this, we often do not have enough money after bills to put groceries in the house or purchase simple necessities like soap.

This is why I decided to start my own company back in May, and launched it full time as of last month (November). While doing this, I am trying to find a part time job that can work around my scheduling needs (hubby has to be home to watch the baby) but that is more difficult than I could have ever imagined.

Once I process my company as a legitimate company, I can go full speed into advertising. I would open a business loan but we do not bring in enough revenue for me to do so, and I have terrible credit. I get declined immediately for any regular loans or credit cards.

Any little bit helps. I greatly appreciate your assistance, and will definitely pay it forward when I can. Thank you so much!

P.s. I would post an image but the site is not allowing it?

We are a generally happy family of 7, with 3 sons and 2 daughters under the age of eight. We have always been blessed to have our necessities met. We work hard, live frugally and do our best to be charitable with our time and very limited finances. As we look back, our situation has improved, but after 9 years of marriage we still have virtually no savings and wonder what is to be done.

Our setting is probably like many in our age:  We have no vices or addictions. We buy generic food and never eat out or go to the movies. Our rare vacations are spent visiting nearby family. Our constantly revolving vehicles get us around, and we’re thankful to have them, but they are always 20 years old. Other than the occasional, minor illness our family’s health is fine, but even then, health care is costly. No smart phones, no cable, not even a TV. All our income seems to be strictly for sustaining life; here, and now. (To be fair, we choose not to have a TV. We want our kids to read and develop their talents).

We’ve always thought about working for ourselves, but have never been in a position to do something about it. Or if we have been, we have doubted ourselves or not seen the opportunity. Either way, we have now been presented with the chance of starting a small, niche retail business. We have plenty of experience, and several connections in the area, but raising the capital, along with quitting my current job is seemingly impossible.

I didn’t realize how difficult the act of asking others for help would be until I started writing. I know that we’ve been helped in the past, with or without asking, but trying to write a concise, honest account of what I think we need is humbling. Our struggles are real, and are a combination of circumstances and choices. Justified or not though, as a father, it’s hard not to feel like a failure.

To cover some of the start-up costs and loss of wages over the next several months we are asking for $30,000. It’s a large sum of money and we thank any who can help. We hope it puts us in a better position to help others going forward. If nothing else, this experience of asking has given us cause for deep introspection.

Thanks, again.

Hello world, I am here to propose a begging offer, well I’m looking at it as more of a kind unknowing investment. One that I will almost absolutely guarantee will come back around in return after a few months of solid dedication to building my website to higher potential and making the world hear of Fresh n Fitz. What Fresh n Fitz is eventually going to be is a online store for all platforms, offering a wide selection of pre ordered fully personals custom to what the buyer is looking for, I’m a beginner entrepreneur and am learning as I go, I will sell clothes, jewerly, shoes, etc. Anything that’s Fresh n Fitz. So I am looking for that one kind person this holiday that is willing to invest some money or loan some money to help my dreams come true. Personally I never thought I would go this far to extend my dreams, yet I feel you never know until you try and they do say that sun shines on a dogs ass sometimes. Well hopefully it will on me today or in the next few days or week. I am willing to even exchange numbers and or emails to be able to personally touch base with the i would consider lender or partner in this investment of mine.

PLUR – Once upon a time my friends and I were sitting around talking about dream jobs, or at least things we could do to have a life we completely enjoyed.  The ideas coming from local dj’s and producers turned into a weekly gig putting on a hip hop show promoting local rappers and hip hop artists.  We packed the place every week, and it was great for awhile. Greed killed it. One person thought of themselves more than the many involved in making these shows and eventually lost not only the gig but a lot of friends in the process.

Later on again I and some local dj’s get together and another grand idea was born. We will have the biggest outdoor show we can packed with local dj’s and artists in the Electronic Music scene. We planned it all out and it happened, our Electric show was born and we had an attendance of just under 10000. It was the single greatest event I’ve had the pleasure of being a part of. The atmosphere was amazing having that many people all with the same vibe and love and unity that we wanted to being together. It was such a success we decided to do another event a few months later.  By the planning of the third event I myself had and many others stopped supporting the promotions due to no profit sharing, no dj’s being paid, volunteers being taken advantage of and the greed of a few poisoning the wonderland we had created.

Again we have more ideas, what about the country folk who aren’t into edm? We do live surrounded by corn… Lets have a country mud truck rally concert weekend out in the middle of a field. Long story short it also had great success and again some of the same people found their way into control and profit.

We throw events every Thursday nights now at a local bar, I and my loyal close like minded dj coalition, and we have done quite well in collecting a following and a real chance to step up and take back the scene we love and need in this world today.  To bring back the peace of caring like minded loving people United in one place respecting each other, the music, the atmosphere, the vibe of our city… The PLUR.

I have all the knowledge, experience,  and Contacts locally to handle all the logistics of such an event. I have all the best artists from a tri-state area willing to be involved, photographers, fire spinners, acrobats, food vendors, merchandising…. All of it is fueled from the passion in my heart and soul to bring back that place, that vibe that my city had at one time. We have many events and community building goals to do and there is no end in sight of our imaginations and ambitions. All events promoting a theme of togetherness, and helping each other. Once we have done a few events and have made it financially possible, our plan is to throw an event with a popular national artist with a ticket price of $1 at a venue that could host a woodstock / electric forest type event where multiple stages and artists of all spectrums can gather and share their passions. Flow artists, fire spinners, carnival side show entertainers and many many more.

Our ideas are endless and pure.

We do not wish to do any of these events with profit being our main goal or motivation. The goals are to bring the human race together in a positive way through music and artistry. To bring our community together, maybe even start an organization to raise money for our community at every event.

We need the starting funds to put on the first event.  In the past they have thrown events with the intention of paying everyone involved after they had collected all the money after the events… Which eventually turned into only the people who had actual deals with them got paid and they brushed off everyone else. Needless to say they have ruined their reputation and only have a tenth of the attendance as our beginning shows. We would like to have the payments set and budgeted so that everyone involved who should get compensated does and everyone is supported and the stage is set to do so and roll the profit over to the next bigger better event creating relationships with the city and businesses, creating new goals and new ideas… We can do this. All we need is your investment. Not in me, or any of us individually, but in the passion of these humans and the positive vibe of the atmosphere and way of thinking and living in PLUR.

I personally appreciate you for even reading my dream.

May the Universe bless you for your consideration.

Hi there,

First I want to say Thank you for taking your valuable time to listen….

I grew up in an abusive family, both parents were addicted to drugs and alcohol.  I wanted so much more with my life so when I was old enough to get a job, I got not only one job,  but 3. I worked day and night with few hours in between to quick sleep. I finally saved enough money to get a provisional patent on my product, which I had been perfecting for two years, I got a special mold, etc. When it came time to order the product I needed $50,000 to make a large enough order to get it at the right price.  I knew this amount would take me forever to save for and I had faith enough that I could sell them quickly to pay back the money so I racked up all my credit cards. Unfortunately,  the product took over 3 months to get here and when it came,  most of the units were severely damaged, as it was shipped overseas.

Now I am at a point where I will have to file for bankruptcy if I don’t get some help,  which I so desperately need! I know no one I can ask for help. My life would completely change and I would be so thankful if I could avoid bankruptcy,  I don’t want to be a failure!

I do have a US supplier now,  who can manufacture my product so I will not have the same problem in the future. I promise you, I will use the money 100% for credit card bills to get my business going strong.  This would be so life changing for me! I just want to say, although you may think you are a stranger to me, I thank you for listening and if you are still reading,  I consider you a dear friend.

THANKYOU!

As of January 2018 I’ve been unemployed. i haven’t been able to do anything to get out of the struggles I’ve been dealing with. The last job i had was at a Lowe’s Warehouse. the job paid really well 12.50 an hour as a matter of fact. I had the job for about 6 months and i was two days from a raise! it was a really fierce winter this year and i had been getting rides to work from family. I had accumulated 9.5 out of 10 occurrences 10 meaning instant termination, sadly because of having the flu this year. i was indisposed for quite some time. on my drive to work this day we actually slide right off the highway into a snow bank, i wasn’t able to go into work. i tried to call out and succeeded the problem lies that all the call offs are automated. i had to terminate myself essentially because they didn’t want to hear my reason for not being able to make it. So my efforts and showing up the next day to explain my situation was a complete let down. Not being eligible for unemployment i was left abandoned. i would have been able to purchase myself a vehicle at the time i had spent working there however my mother home is housing me currently, had to have surgery done on her knee. with this happening i took over 100% of the bills and wasn’t even able to save a dime because of how little there was after payments. i have no ride to get myself to work. recently a family member of mine lost his finger so his not able to get me around. i don’t have the money to get a car or anything so i cant get myself to work. if i had the funds to get a car and get myself setup to take on a career in what id like to do then it would truly mean the world to me. just being able to actually have the mean to take the world by the short hairs and actually make something of myself is just all i can ask for. id be able to help not only myself by the ones i love and care about finally get out of their debts.

Looking to get around 10,000 i know it seems steep but it would cover vehicle and expenses, as well as help me get any essentials ill need for work and emergency repairs.

So I’ll make this quick…

I’m burnt out from going to school full time, with my dreams on the back burner.

I’m 21 years old, male, who had success running a business making six figures in 2012 and also by creating a popular YouTube channel. Mind you that I’m 15 years old at the time. Now switching from public to online education because I was so tunnel visioned and destined to do great. Also, I was light years ahead in my age group. Years went on and money faded away through ups and downs. Fast forward 6 years I am going to school, living a life of misery. Controlled by the outside, and dependent on others. I want my life back… Please HELP. I am tired, burnt out, depressed, anxious, even… I want my life back to live again. To breathe. To not worry all the time about my next bill, or my debt. Or the constant stress of a father who wants me to live a life that is not for me (military.) I want to build myself again, my life, my endeavors to create wealth for myself. I’m not the average individual, all I need is some help, without getting kicked back down. I ask if anyone out there to please understand the stresses and hardships I have gone through. Please help me get my life back. Any contribution is a miracle, but the amount of money I need to get a self-sufficient business going is beyond my reach. I’ve done the calculations and it’s at a hefty price tag. Is someone willing to give me my life back, I’m not sure, but its worth a shot. The courage to write this hurts inside. I’ve left a link to PayPal where you can donate. Thank you to anyone out there

Dear Sirs,

Thank you for taking a moment to read my plea.  I am currently in a huge financial bind that may lead to me losing my brick and mortar business along with my home and car.

My husband, Jerry, and I bought a bar in a small town 4 years ago, and things were going great.  I had been a work at home mom prior to this, so I took on the roll of running the daily operations of the business while my husband kept his full time job.  We opened the doors in August 2014.  In September 2016, my husband suffered a massive heart attack.  Needing to be with him, I ignored the business somewhat while he was in the hospital.  Even after he came home it was hard to keep everything balance.  So we took out an advance loan that took a percentage of our credit card sales to pay it back.

Things evened out and the business was doing well.  I was able to pay the bills an keep things rolling fairly smoothly.  In January 2018 I suffered a hemorrhagic stroke and was in ICU for 2 weeks and rehab for another 3 weeks.  I am so thankful that I did not suffer any paralysis or any real physical deficits.  However, the business was once again ignored, and while our family tried to step in to help, things didn’t go quite as smoothly as it could have.  When I was able to come back, I found ourselves in a hole, and tried digging out of it.  We opted to renew our advance loan, but were careless enough to not read the exact details and calculate how that would affect us.

The loan company was taking 33% of our daily credit card sales.    Our finances started to spiral.  Not recognizing the problem for what it was, we opted to take a second loan that put a lien on our house and took daily withdrawals to pay it back. It pulled us out temporarily, but we found ourselves using my husband’s paycheck to keep the business afloat week after week.  Until we finally realized what was happening.  Between the two loans, we are paying out $8,000 per month, which is what is hurting us.

We are currently looking for a consolidation loan to payback the two current loans so we can free up some cash flow.  Unfortunately, we have fallen behind a couple of bills that absolutely have to be paid within the next 24 hours or we won’t have a business to run and will still have these loans to pay, which means we could potentially lose our house with the lien on it.  I have been tryng all week to make the money we need but have reached the pivotal moment when aside from robbing the nearest gas station, I won’t make enough to keep the doors open, and the stress itself is scaring the crap out of me because the last thing we need is another medical crisis to get through.

I am not asking to help pay off my loans.  Although I would not refuse that assistance if it’s available.  However, the big things I need to pay immediately are 1) our electic bill of %5,080; 2) our food vendor of $6,000;  and 3)  $1,200 to catch up on our car payment.  For a total of $12,280.

Really I just want my life back.  We are both stressed out that there seems to be a wall between us and it hurts me so much that I can’t fix this quickly.  I feel like I’m getting lost in this shuffle, and I feel if we can just get beyond this hurdle, we will be alright.

As the primary operator of our business I feel it is my job to find all the help that we can.  I’ll beg, borrow or steal to keep the doors open on my husband’s dream.  I’ve already borrowed, I believe I have already stolen.  And now I’m trying the begging part.

Please help in any way that you can.  Money can be sent via Pay Pal to https://paypal.me/SuzysPlace.  Any inquiries can be sent there as well.

Your kindness is appreciated.  And I hope one day in the near future I’ll be in a position to pay it forward as well.

So my wife and I who has had 2 baby’s they’re older now but we have an idea to improve a diaper. It’ll make things a million times easier on the parents I can’t elaborate to much just cause of the patent we are trying to get for the product but we’ve asked our friends and some of our family members I just guess that they don’t think the idea is the greatest but being a parent and raising kids its an idea I feel like once it’s brought to light everyone will wonder why it hadn’t been thought of before now it will change those dreaded diaper changes into a more pleasant experience well as pleasant as a diaper full of poo could be lol. So during our idea process our car was repossessed were trying to better ourselves but without a vehicle it’s next to impossible to get things done though we have some support it’s never seems to be free. When we need to get a ride to doctors appointments that are way out of walking distance unless we leave hours before there’s still not too many places we can walk to and still be presentable when we arrive I know I’ve strayed from my initial purpose it’s just very hard to walk to appointments and not be stinky and sweaty showing up for. But to get to the next step of our idea in which the patent lawyer said only about 30% of people make it to this step of the process the gentleman at the 1800 IDEA has alot of faith and is truly thinking that we could have the next great invention so if you could please help us me and my wife have been married for 10yrs we’ve had a lot of ups and downs plenty of set back’s in our marriage we’ve been through a bunch in our 10yrs of marriage I definitely feel like this would be the next great idea for potty training and so forth just need a little help making it to the next step every donation will be greatly appreciated and if there’s a way for you to leave a name or something I will email you details into how the process is coming along thank you very much and may God bless you for your kindness.paypalme./bringmyideatolife

Hi there, beautiful people ❤ I am a 33 year old woman who has battled with “Peter Pan Syndrome” (not wanting to grow up) for most of my adult life, mainly because I had many talents/gifts, limitless motivation, and, sadly, no idea where to channel all of this, let alone what I wanted to do with my life. This is quite frustrating when you are full of passion and ready to change the world! I prayed and prayed and prayed, for any type of guidance towards finding something meaningful to do with the next chapter of my life, a career that would allow me to utilize my gifts and not only bring joy and prosperity to myself and my family,  but also to enrich the lives of others. I am thrilled to announce that my prayers have been answered, and recently, the opportunity of my dreams basically fell into my lap: I have been blessed with the opportunity to invest in the company that I am currently working for. This company is thriving. Not only is it highly profitable, but it is also highly respected within the community. We sell natural health supplements, many of which have profoundly enhanced many of our customers’ quality of life. I absolutely love my job, and would love to be able to make it into a career. I can think of nothing that I would rather do with my life than become part owner of this beautiful company and continue to add value to people’s lives. I’m 100% seizing this opportunity, no matter what! I am absolutely determined. As of now, the only thing that is holding me back is the fact that I am short $30,000. My credit score is very average, therefore, a traditional bank loan is probably not my best option. Soooo, here I am! Please consider helping to make my dreams come true! I will not only be forever grateful, but would also be happy to pay the money back (AND, of course, pay it forward)! Thanks a million for taking the time to read, and thanks in advance for the help! Cheers! ❤

Hello and thank you for viewing my Begging Money request! My dream is to own and operate my own Sporting Clays course and Country Club. If you do not know what Sporting Clays is, the best description is clay pigeon shooting, often described as “golf with a shotgun” because a typical course includes from 10 to 15 different shooting stations laid out over natural terrain. For safety, the course size is often no smaller than 35 acres. Unlike trap and skeet, which are games of repeatable target presentations, sporting clays simulates the unpredictability of live bird shooting, offering different trajectories, angles, speeds, elevations, distances, and target sizes.

I have been working for the same company, a factory, for seventeen years. I always pay my bills and taxes. I have never been bankrupt or not paid what I owe, yet, I just can’t seem to get ahead. I am not a drinker nor do I do drugs. My wife is a fitness trainer and part time pizza delivery driver. Our children are all grown and she and I both have entrepreneurial desires.

I envision a forty to fifty wooded plot with ten to twelve stations winding throughout the scenic wooded property. Some stations would be ground level and others would be in wooden towers, as is common to most Sporting Clays courses. The difference, however, I would have on site, a club house restaurant bar and grill. There would be cameras at each station and customers inside the club house could enjoy watching people go through the course on big screen TV’s. The club house would also sell shooting accessories, gear and clothing that cater to the shotgun clay pigeon sports. The course would be open to the paying public, however the club house would only be available to those who become members. Memberships would include benefits that the public does not receive.

I have set my donation request at three hundred thousand, of which I believe would be enough to get the course up and running. I would buy twenty to twenty-four trap machines made by MEC priced around six thousand each. The remainder would be for the property and club house.

I know if given the opportunity, I could build and manage a very unique and wonderful Sporting Clays course that could become one of the most desirable shotgun sports venues in the United States. The business would definitely make a profit and with that profit I would reinvest continuously, always making it better and more exciting for the customers and members. It could eventually grow to include all the shotgun sports, Trap, Skeet, 5 Stand and more!

Thank you once again for viewing my donation request and if fulfilled, rest assured your donation(s) will be used only to fulfill this dream! I would love to be in business for myself and be able to unlock my potential and creativity!

I know what you must be thinking, a 27 yr old asking for help with money? PASS! But there’s more than what meets the eye I promise. When I was 17, I was skateboarding to a friends house, when suddenly I was hit head on by a woman driving a Toyota Corolla. The police report said she was going 40mph. It also said that I was supposed to have my leg amputated. Thank god they were able to save it , but I didn’t escape without a broken tibia, fibula, shoulder, nose, torn labrum and rotator cuff and a massive amount of lacerations. I spent the next 5 months opening college baseball recruitment letters in a wheelchair. I fell into a major depression, and trying to mask the pain, began to abuse my pain medication. Graduating from a wheelchair to a walker, I began needing more and more of my pills. By the time the doctors decided I didn’t need them, I was so physically dependent that I began buying off the streets. As any police officer  can tell you, involving yourself with those kind of people is a disaster waiting to happen. Then, a series of unfortunate events coupled with being at the wrong place at the wrong time led to my arrest. I went from a division one baseball prospect to a prisoner serving 5 years for an un intentional, slowly developed prescription pill addiction. This was October 2012. I have been clean ever since. I had an epiphany in prison that i need to spread awareness of not only the dangers of drugs, but the dangers of nicotine, alcohol and even poor dieting. I also wanted to spread my knowledge of healthy exercise techniques, eating and drinking habits, and even the importance of proper sleep and vitamin intake. I mean I have pages of notes covering everything from high intensity interval training to the best hygiene secrets around. I knew from day one I wanted to market a variety of books, “health packs”, nutrition supplements for and at home exercise accessories and call the company Pro-Teen. The essential building block of muscle and encouragement to kids everywhere to live like a pro! So, who’s with me? Let’s teach these kids to learn from my mistakes, and make them all Pro-Teens!

My name is Jay. I am an entrepreneur living in Dallas Texas. For the last several years I have been working diligently to acquire the necessary knowledge and skills to build a successful business in real estate that would not only leave me fulfilled but also allow me the opportunity to help rejuvenate surrounding communities building them up by methods of renovation and redevelopment. I have always been fascinated with real estate but have not always had confidence in my own abilities to execute. Personal growth comes with time and the desire to accomplish what one sets out to do. Deciding to believe in the vision I’ve had since a child has made all the difference.  I’m ready.

A little about my background… I was raised by a single mother who also had 3 other children. Although my father is alive he has never been a part of my life. My parents separated when I was an infant. Without even a high school diploma my mother worked very hard in jobs for our survival and still to this day works hard even though she has attained a GED diploma and completed a Registered Nursing graduate program in college. I will retire her. Coming up in our household many times was a struggle, things were rough as resources were scarce. With my father being absent I believe I lacked not only physical resources and support but also the education of life skills a strong father provides to his child. Due to having no positive guidance from a father figure, in my late teen years and early 20’s angry with feelings of abandonment I began getting into trouble being open to influence by men I believed to be strong and in ways supportive despite the reality they happened to be living and acting menacingly. Eventually and thankfully I learned from my mistakes and through it all never gave up believing in myself nor the desire to be a successful entrepreneur.

Today I am thirty years old with a son. We share the same birthday! I believe him being born on the same day of the same month as myself shows we have an unbreakable bond and that I have the chance to experience the father – son relationship that I longed for as a child. With me now being a father, it is important that I set the right example for my family and provide.  Success in my business is not only for my desires but it will also give me the ability to leave a legacy and teach my son and others that regardless of how to start out in life you have the power to write your story. The financial stability gained from this business will position me to be a financial blessing to others.

Thus far on my entrepreneurial journey I have invested blood, sweat, tears and capital. I’ve have come a long way but still have a way to go and could use some help.

In order to get the real estate business off the ground I am asking for donations that will be used to assist in covering marketing cost, operations cost, initial asset acquisition cost, as well as additional coaching and mentoring. You can be assured that any financial contributions you are inclined to offer are greatly appreciated and will be used exactly as stated. Thank you for taking to time to acknowledge my request.

I have been operating a restaurant for over 3 years and business was very good for the first year but then other large companies opened restaurants near me because of the success that I had been having. They had more money to spend on marketing and nicer setup than mine so eventually the business went to them.

We were able to hold our own for a while but it got to the point where I had to be putting back the money I had made back into the restaurant to keep it a float.

About 9 months ago I took the decision to close the restaurant for  a couple months to do renovation and come back with a new look and new products. I found someone who was willing to invest and I poured all my reserves into the project. My new partner was diagnosed with colon cancer in April and died shortly after. Now the project is stalled because I put all my money into it and my partner died.

I am now on the verge of loosing everything and have no where else to turn. This is my last resort. Please help in any way you can. Thank you

Dear Donor

I am a 53 year old chiropractor that has been servicing my community for over 20 years. I am a father of three college kids and am currently going through a divorce.

My practice has been impacted by two major insurance carriers that decided they were no longer going to pay me. They owe me in excess of $200,000. As you can imagine it is very difficult to operate without finances. I have moved my office to a smaller place and downsized to bare bones. I don’t have the money to hire an attorney to fight them but I actually have a US Senators office helping me. It seems to be progressing but it may take several months to resolve.

I find myself in a situation where I have simply run out of funds. No bank will give me a loan. The bills continue to come and I am overwhelmed by this reality. The revenue coming in right now is not sufficient to keep my doors open and pay for my basic needs. As I said earlier I know this matter will be resolved but I need to bridge that gap in order to survive.

I hope you can find it within yourself to help me get through this very difficult time and be able to get back on track. This is a strange place for me to be because I was always the one on the other side helping others.

Any assistance you can give would be greatly appreciated. I am very grateful for this site and knowing that there are people out there that are willing to give to help others. I want to thank you and hope you are repaid for your generosity.

Hi, my names Habakkuk (pronounced Rebekka with an “H” instead of the”R”) i my job isn’t paying as well(I’m a hostess at a bar/brewhouse restaurant) and i wanted to began my new journey to start my own business. When i was 10 i Loved inventing skin products and writing business plan and budgeting for businesses that didn’t even exist at the moment.(So this definitely is a passion of mine). As i became older i noticed that my mom has a bachelors degree in business and is providing for 3 people with a two storied house in a daycare job that pays only $10.69/hour. I also started to notice how no one in my family has ever been successful in their careers and i want to be the first to break the endless cycle of not doing anything with there life.

With that being said, i love anything cosmetology related and i wanted to start off as a hair brand distributor. with this job, i would be promoting and selling there products independently but for commission. I would be able to sell their products in whatever business name i decide, they provide me with free business cards, flyers and a free website but they do make most of the money. for example, if i sold $1000 worth of hair(maybe 5 wigs for $200), then i would make 150 to 250 of that profit; which isn’t actually that bad considering I’m just promoting and selling the hair. To sign up its free but to have the membership its $29.00 which allows me to sell an have my own brand for a month, but i would like to do the option for the year which cost $319 and to buy the sample hair so i can let the customers see the different products in person is an additional $19.00…. I also wanted to buy some of the hair separately so i can try the products myself and give the customers an honest review. So if this goes to plan my goal is to never have to ask for money ever again in my life ever again. So the total will be around $500

Also i wanted to be able to help my mom with the bills because shes struggling with money, buy me a car so i can help get her money by finding a job further out and some money to pay all my gym fees which is causing my credit to fall behind , buy new clothes because i gained weight and only have 3 pair s of pants and 2 pairs of shoes, and also I’m starting cosmetology school and i needed money for my schooling and to start my first payment for my apartment. Around $9,500 in total.

In conclusion i want to already thank whoever was kind hearted enough to give me a hand for everything you have done to support and help me, you really don’t know how much this really means to me and i hope you have an amazing life and i hope blessings keep flying your way, have an amazing night(:

Sincerely, Habakkuk

Since i can remember from being a small child i have been the victim of cruel bullying, i remember on a daily basis the many names people called me such as big nose, fat so, and buck teeth, these words came from adults and kids, i was picked on so much at school by kids, they would talk about me and even hit me,girls and boys and i never had the words within me to comeback at them so i would just sit there afraid and take it all in, i remember often coming home crying with a pounding headache, i would avoid eating in the cafeteria because i was afraid i would be talked about, as i got in my teens i had to deal with even more bullying because i began getting acne on my face, and guess where the pimples were the biggest?, my big nose!! So because of this when my family would go anywhere, i would be so ashamed and self conscious i would just stay in the vehicle, i would avoid crowds at all cost. At around 15 years old my thinking began to change all the injustice i had faced from being bullied, i began to dislike people so i had alot of anger for people i trusted no one so i didnt have many friends, as i got older and started to work workmates looked at me as a easy push over someone to bully, i guess i attract bullys?, so i would avoid confrontation and eventually quit the job and this has been going on for my whole life, i need a break!! Bullying has caused me mental anguish for so long! I still have buck teeth a gap, and a big nose, looking at old pictures when i was a kid, i was never fat, but people called me FAT SO, how cruel. And i say so often, why me, i didn’t deserve this life, i still see the people who done alot of the bullying and there happy and prospering, and can’t hold down a job, and the jobs i do get don’t pay what i am worth. I would love to have my own business so i can help me and others like me. Please!! help me with my goal, if you have been in my shoes and know how i feel. Thanks for reading some of my story.

In March 2018, I relocated in order to help my dad organize and run his bagel business. While I was there, I converted his personal and company files onto a cloud based drive (so that he could access them from home), reprogrammed his cash register, redesigned his menu boards, produced marketing materials, worked in the front of the house, created a S.O.P. for his new hires and updated his employee handbook to comply with the new employment laws. My dad offered me a temporary place to live (in his 4,000 square foot home) while I was working for him.

One night I had a guest come visit. He had been drinking so I advised him not to drive home. We went to sleep and I got up to get ready for work the following day. When I arrived at work, my dad decided to tell all of his employees and customers that I was a “whore”. He assumed that I had slept with the kid (and I say “kid” because he’s 21)… I was embarassed and shocked that my dad and business partner would slander my name. I told him that I didn’t sleep with the kid but I was hurt that, that’s what he’d assume.

When I addressed the issue, he gave me a 1 week eviction notice and fired me. I found a place to live with an awesome roomate (cats always land on their feet). However, I’m working for a temp agency and struggling to make ends meet.

Last week, I participated in an amatur night at a local strip club. It was a blast! It was empowering to have people not only watch my performance but reward me financially.

I have 2 classes left till I graduate from college with my Bachelor’s of Science in Communication Studies. I would like to finish my degree but I have outstanding tuition charges. I need to pay rent every month so it’s important that I find a decent wage… In order to pay off my college debt, afford rent, go to school, and find some time for myself, I think entertaining professionally would allow me to do all of this.

I’m looking for people to help me obtain my entertainers license. In the city of San Diego, an entertainer needs to have a license. The fees are upwards of $400. Please help me get on my feet.

My name is Rickina Smith…..although I think your name probably tell someone the absolute least about you. So let me try to explain to you who I am and what I’m about. I am 32 years old, literally 32 years and two days as of today, August 1st, 2018. LOL. I have two amazingly awesome adorable loving kind hearted kids who are actually what they call “Irish Twins.” There is 22 days of the year that they are the same age…My son is 11 right now, and my daughter, 10….on August 2nd my daughter will turn 11….and my son won’t turn 12 until the 24th of August….so for 22 days they will be the same age. Well if I havent confused you enough with all that please read on….

You see, I don’t see my kids as just regular kids because to me they are miracles. When I was about 16 years old doctors at Thomas Memorial Hospital in Charleston, WV told me that I would not be able to have children because I had so many cysts on my ovaries….Welp, Proved them wrong! Lol I had just graduated high school and was enrolled in WV State University the following semester so I had all summer to party! And party I did, a little too much. When I found out I was pregnant I immediately stopped partying and doing the things I probably shouldn’t have been doing. So, in so many ways my children have saved my life. Crazy thing though, when I gave birth to my son Jerron I had to have a C-Section because I had so many cysts on my one ovary that they couldn’t save it, so they ended up having to take the whole ovary out, leaving me with only one ovary. So once again, the doctors came to me and very solemnly told me I would probably never have another child. Proved them wrong again! Lol And trust me I was not even trying too……Only two months after my son was born, I found out I was pregnant with my daughter, Kalee. They truly are my miracles.

I was with their father for 12 very long years. Twelve years, over a decade. We had our ups and downs but he always was good to the kids in every way except financially. If you were to go back and count up all the time he every worked anywhere in 12 years, he may have worked a total of a year. I always worked to support my kids because when they were born, from the second they were born, I knew I had to take care of them, and give them the absolute best I could give them. You know, I’m not going to lie, the first time I ever looked in my sons eyes, I just did not realize that it was possible to love another human being that much. I didn’t even know we had it in us! So I busted my butt always working, and ended up becoming a manager, and even an assitant general manager at a couple places. Always restaurants like McDonalds or Burger King. This gave me a lot of really good customer service training, even a couple college credits but it took so much time away from the kids. Time that I didn’t really realize I would never get back. Then after about 11 years I found out that my husband had been sleeping with my best friend this whole time. While I was out busting my butt trying to take care of our kids (its not like I even came home to a clean house, EVER!) he was sleeping with my best friend. But hey, okay 11 years is a long time that I will never get back and that’s a lot of time to spend invested in a relationship so I say Hey, lets work it out. And we tried to move past this….A couple months later during one of our countless fights, my husband ended up getting into a physical fist fight with my father. Now anyone who has ever met me or who will ever meet me can figure out in about five minutes that I am daddys girl. All the way, through and through! My husband ended up going to jail over this incident and I spent the next month alone, with the kids. I tell ya what, it wasn’t much different…which made me realize I was pretty much by myself this whole time. (Oh yeah on a side note, I’m kind of really smart and I love school, even have 42 college credits, but had to quit school so I could go back to work because there was no income in the house.) The only real difference was honesty one less mouth to feed. So I realized I can do this on my own!

My husband and I have been split up for about two years now. Sadly enough it was over a year before he even laid eyes on his kids again. And this is sad to me because his son looks up to that man more than anything on the planet, for some unknown reason. Lol. I hate seeing the pain in that boys eyes when he talks about daddy said this and daddy said that, it breaks my heart each and every time. But weve been surviving, the best we could. Now, after 15 years of working in and out of fast food restaurants a big toll gets taken out of ya…And fast food working was literally killing me and making me get home at all kinds of different and odd hours. Theres gotta be something I can do where I can be at home with my kids and still make money…..Hmmm..

In April of 2018, I started my own Pilot Car Company. Smiths Pilot Car Escorts. We’ve been doing fairly good and I have been profiting about $3,000 each month I guess. I’m kind of still new at all this. But making a little extra money means no more help from the government. So after 12 years, this is the first time I have ever been without food stamps. I am trying to make up for it in profits from the business, but I tell you its hard… I am steadily working and have many customers, but more than I can even help because I need more employees. I need a couple more cars and I would be able to turn an even bigger profit that would help so much in feeding my kids and clothing them also, because I also do not qualify for this oh so wonderful school clothing vouchers anymore.

Any help I could get in any kind of way would be so incredibly appreciated. And insanely repaid…..in a couple months when my business is just absolutely booming!!! You know, when I have so many employees that I can stay at home and tell everybody where to go and who to go with and stay at home with my babies finally, cuz theyre definietly not babies anymore and I hate all the time I’ve already lost with them. We are living with my father in a 2 bedroom Apt, and scrunched to say the least.

In His Image Outreach or Belton started in my home in 1999.  I wanted to help children ages 3-5 who had development delays by preparing them for school.  After I started the program, I decided to home school my own children . Parents from the school where I was teaching at asked if I could started a school so I researched and began TCES in 2004.  A parent from a local church heard out us and asked if his child could attend because he had been expelled from school for having marijuana on campus.  We decided to help the child, and it was a success story that allowed us to get into a local church in Anderson SC.  Our cap has been 10 students due to the cost of services.  We were at the church until 2017 when they experienced a change in Pastors.  The new Pastor decided that In His Image should become their church and dissolve.  After consideration, we decided that we would take an offer of a friend who had a skating rink and start to provide services there.  We went to the city, got approved.  The city came back in April and said that we could no longer operate unless we brought the building up to code.  They were not specific except for telling us that we needed an architect design.  We found a generous architect who did help us, but the city rejected his suggestions for the building and said that we still need a fire sprinkling system.  We already knew that we needed roof repair, new bathrooms, firewalls, and flooring.  The lowest contractor is saying the total cost will be $300,000.  We have 100 student who will be affected if we can’t raise the money for our church/school.  Our organization is 501 c 3 and we are asking for your help.  Help us save our building.  The picture is of how our building looks after clean up at a launch of one of our alumni business launchings.  Thank you in advance.

For years I’ve been trying to see-through a vision that encompasses my whole Life. Health issues, unfortunate events and downright back luck have plagued this difficulty. I am a bit of an underachiever in the music realm and have been sitting on a bit of a masterpiece for a few years. The situation financially has been tough for me like a lot of musicians trying to make music in this era but recently some things have really complicated what’s been going on.

It seemed a string of bad luck and misfortune came to an end last year when I was approached by a “super fan” of a band I have small connections with who offered to support us for my new record after hearing a demo.

To make the story short, he really screwed me. He sent me to the studio I wanted to be in, he invested in the instruments I needed, he took my band to lavish dinners and spent money on whatever. I took a couple months off work so I could devote my Life full-time to the record. I spent what little I had from my meager inheritance for necessities (rent, food) and put my entire Life and energy into making this happen. But then I realized I had wasted all our time everything came crashing down.

When we were nearly finished with the record the “investor” decided to take the recordings he paid for (almost the entire record) and force me to give him the rights to the material. The man was so difficult to deal with and unstable I decided to sever the relationship completely for the sake of my mental health. All instruments and everything he paid for are gone- he took it all back. I also have since been contacted by other bands telling me he did something similar to them and I was lucky to have gotten out when I did and apparently the guy is a lunatic. I wish someone had warned me beforehand. 

I had a bit of a mental breakdown after this occurred. Someone taking your very personal artwork hostage is a terrible feeling. I have had severe depression and anxiety my whole entire Life and this definitely did not help and a lapsed into a deep, dark episode. I felt like my vision and my Life-long dream was right there at my fingertips and suddenly so rudely stolen away. However, I am lucky to have supportive friends who have kept me going and the music is good enough I know it is a reason for me to continue fighting on. I’m back on my feet and just want to make this happen. I just need a little assistance. 

I am asking for money that will help me make the record. I can do it better now than we were doing it and I can record it for much cheaper than what he was paying at the fancy studio. I want to pay for it in my own name and choose what happens to the recordings. I’m asking for a simple $3,000. It’s just something I don’t have right now and really would make things a lot easier as I can hardly make ends meet. The money will go mostly to recording, gear for recording and musicians. I also would like to spend some of it on my antidepressants and another medication I need for a nerve disorder that weakens my hands and makes it difficult for me to play. I have struggled to work and save money for them since this all went down.

I have always had a really hard time asking people for help. I’m doing this now because I feel like there really isn’t much else I can do. I’m worried sometimes that I just can’t go on without at least seeing what I can do. I’ve waited for a break, and when it finally came I was railroaded. Time is of the essence in situations like this and I need to get back in and lay this stuff down ASAP. I really hope someone out there who can help me will read this and consider contributing. Thanks for reading.

Hello My name is Dorothy Strickland. I reside in Greenville SC with my father who is currently disabled. Previously I worked as a Cna for 20 years and became disabled, but when my health improved I resumed my quest and dreams of becoming a successful business owner.

While sourcing online websites for business loans I became a victim of advance fee loan scams, which caused me to go in debt  and have to put my business on hold temporarily.

Although I still have my brand and website address. I would really appreciate some financial assistance are help with inventory.

My plans are to start my business back up and assist individuals with employment also.

Sincerely, Dorothy Strickland

Hi I’m Kiarah! I come from a family that has struggled financially almost all of our lives, and I want to break that cycle. I want to start a small business that will help out my family & I financially & hopefully, eventually grow in the near future, so that finances can stop being a huge worry for us and we can continue to stay focused on things that matter instead of how we are going to eat the next day.

I want to create a hair & makeup boutique that helps women feel & look their best at a low cost. I started to build my website and gathering inventory with the money that I was making at my part-time job. However, I had to leave that job due to the fact that my mother had to re-locate to another city, and I wanted to be close to her. My funds have been going towards the move and has left me virtually broke. I could really use a little extra help. I realize I may be asking for a lot. I just hope you understand how life changing this could be for me and my family. I’m completely dedicated to breaking my family’s cycle. My ultimate goal is to raise $2000. The $2000 will go towards legal fees such as: federal business name protection and federal website domain protection.  It will also help me get started with a little inventory for the shop. I’m not expecting to accumulate $2000 overnight, and I am grateful for any donation given my way. I’m even grateful for you taking time out of the day to read my message! Here is my paypal link where donations can be sent: paypal.me/kiarahrodriguez

Thanks Again!

I am attempting to raise the remaining $10,000 of the $70,000 needed to start a food service business.  I have 15+ years experience operating full service restaurants and food service trucks.  The purpose of this business venture is to utilize my expertise in the food service segment and generate profits that will be donated to two entities that serve and minister to the homeless and impoverished children of  Houston.  The reason behind starting this business is to continue my father’s legacy and mission of serving those in need on every level.  My father served  the homeless and impoverished children of Houston for the past 20+ years even while he was battling cancer.  My father recently passed away after a long 8 year battle with kidney cancer and he served these folks until he could no longer physically do it.

The two entities that I plan to finiancially support with the profits of the business is a hope center, which was dedicated to my father’s memory, and an inner city church, where he served every Sunday morning feeding and ministering to the inner city homeless.  The hope center and church provide hot meals, a place to shower, wash clothes, counseling, job skill training, outreach, housing assistance and many more services that are beneficial to well being and revcovery of our most vulnerable adults and children.

Please help me continue my father’s legacy and pay forward to those who are in need the most.  My hope and mission is to help those who have lost hope or help those that life has thrown them a curve ball and they need help getting back on track.

Any size donation is welcomed and deeply appreciated.

Warmest and Best Regards,

RS

I’m a 48 year old guy that’s got 20+ years of IT (Information Technology) experience with working for several major companies. Since the financial crisis of 2008, I’ve had nothing but short contract positions that never lead to full time employment. For the past few years I’ve been forced to be either be self-employed and  or under-employed. As time passes it gets harder and harder to make ends meet. I’d had to live off life savings and credit cards, which I know the later has been a huge mistake.

Lately, I believe I’ve found a solution to my debt situation and it involves investing in crypto currencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin. These have all been going up recently and projected to surpass their all time highs that they reached at the end of 2017. For example Bitcoin touched $20,000 on 12/17/2018. Ethereum has been as high as $1389, and Litecoin has been over $300. I’ve done my research and talked to a number of other investors who definitely believe that the values for these digital assets are set to explode in the real near future..

So here’s my proposal. Anyone that would like to participate in making some profit in the crypto currency phenomenon, but are completely alien to how to get into it, I am asking for donations with your contact information. My intentions are two-fold. First is to pay off my debt and second is to payback all the people that were generous enough to donate any amount that they felt they could donate. Any amount would greatly be appreciated, but the more I collect the more I can place in buy orders and holding those crypto currency assets until they explode well over 500% in profit.

Hi,

I recently lost my son to SIDS.  Being a mother was the most important, rewarding thing I’ve ever done.  I loved my son more than life and one day, he was gone.  I have no other children.  My partner left right away, which was fine because that was a terrible relationship.  I am grieving to the full extent of the word and I’m suffering from PTSD from his loss.  I decided to move across the country to be closer to my family.  Family seems like the most important thing right now and having people to love is so precious to me.   However, they still live a few hours away from where I could find work. Moving across the country was expensive and I have many bills associated with both the birth and death of my son.  I work for the government and the job I got here is extremely stressful.  I have a caseload and am beholden to production standards so I have to make my numbers everyday.  I want to have the self determination to live the best life that I can.  My son never got the chance.  I don’t want to waste mine.

I live with a lot of sadness, but realize my life could be better if I was able to have some control of my day to day.  I noticed a business for sale that could be within reach, but I have no assets and no savings to give a down payment.  I would love to be part of a community instead of just toiling away everyday to pay my bills.  I want to interact with people and form real relationships.  I think doing this would enable me to find at least a fraction of the happiness I had when my Roger was here.  Please help me do this in his memory.  Help me to not waste my life being unhappy at work and to know that I can make this dream come true.  paypal.me/steffsaint

I have been working hard on building a successful life. I get my first job when I was 14 years old. I come from a family that has been deeply affected by the grips of poverty. I grew up in a single parent household, raised by my mother. Me and my four sisters never knew our father. We were too young to remember when he left.

With an adverse background comes many barriers on the road to success. Families who come from adverse backgrounds do not understand the concept or even support the notion of entrepreneurship. I always though I could raise my family out of poverty alone, but at this point in my life I realize that success come with the help of others.

I started a technology firm that focuses on leveraging the use of technology. My main clients are those who can use my expertise the most: Small businesses, non-profits, and other entrepreneurs. We live in a digital age and the effective use of technology is key to almost any business venture. I have helped dozens of people build a business that they never though they could have. I can work with any budget to make a business owners vision come to life. Digital literacy, innovation and creativity is the key to success. My team can do anything from web design, cyber security and infrastructure, application development, you name it, we can do it, and quite well I might add. We’ve built everything from intranets to cyber schools. There are no limits on what can be achieved and I love doing this every day.

With that being said, I’m at the point where I am stuck. I have to maintain a day job in order to continue to make my dream a reality. I’m stuck at making the transition from full time employee to full time entrepreneur. I have an established clientele base that I cant fully cater to because 8 to 12 hours a day is being spent at someone else’s company. I did the math, and with $10,000 dollars I can transition full time into making dreams come true. I have the skills, the clients, the passion, and the expertise. Now I just need the funding. I do have a brick and mortar office that you could visit anytime.

If you got this far. Thank you for taking your time to read this. I appreciate you. I love you.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Cheers,

Corey

Hi my name is Riana and I am 19 years old. I have been working on this swimsuit brand for 2 years now and so far everything has been coming to plan. I was able to make the most progress which I am proud of with no money.RI-MIX (my brand) defies the social norms of today’s society by introducing the concept of lingerie to the beach.Lingerie is known to be risqué, and something meant not to be seen outdoors. No one has stepped outside the box until now. My business will be the first Caribbean swimsuit label to present luxury swimwear in the form of lingerie.RI-MIX revolutionizes the way women wear swimsuits, merging the boundaries between risqué and classy all while making old new again.This business promotes self-love and the usage of positive body images.We provide fresh looks and timeless concepts.RI-MIX reintroduces the idea of the “real woman” embracing their imperfections back into mainstream media.I would like $8,000.00 to cover production costs and trademarking my logo.Right now the goal is to get my samples made, then promote, then do a launch party in Barbados then accept orders.The capital will really come in handy after all of this is done.I just need some money to start off. Im in the middle of getting my tech packs made from my original designs and then i’ll be ready to get my samples made to handle promotions.
