I write this to ask for your help. I find myself surprised to be in this situation and taking such an unusual course, but here’s hope in trying something out of the ordinary.
I am one of the many people here in the US who had their lives pretty well upended by Covid.
Prior to Covid I worked for a number of years as an investment specialist in what are called Direct Participation Programs, loosely called ‘alternative investments’ or the buzz word today is private equity. I carried the Series 7 and 63 licenses. I did reasonably well and ended up putting most of my earnings into different real estate projects. Covid and it’s economic consequences made a mess of all this and nearly all of the placed funds were lost.
I found myself in a place needing unexpected and quick income. My licenses had expired during Covid as the Broker Dealer I previously worked for wound down and the principals retired. I ended up, humorously, beginning work driving for Uber. I’ve done that now for about a year and a half now. While over qualified for the work I haven’t minded doing it and don’t feel ashamed. It has kept the bills paid and I’ve met remarkable people including a concert violinist who had a half a million dollar violin made in 1710 by one of Stradavarius’s students (I had the violin in my car and got to touch it) to the former COO of one of Elon Musk’s current companies. I also got to help many physically limited people get to and from their various places. It’s been a learning and humbling experience and a good one. However, Uber does not pay a great deal, roughly 50-70% of the fee goes to Uber, and to make my monthly nut the hours are long and grueling. I typically start, living in the Los Angeles area, at 3:00 AM and finish around 11:00 AM and then I do an afternoon shift typically from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM. And I do that everyday, not just Monday to Friday. If they allowed me to drive more per day I probably would.
I decided to work on getting my licenses back and get back into investment work. I began this about 8 months ago and started looking for a new Broker Dealer. An excellent and established firm in Chicago agreed to onboard me. I retested all needed licenses including the 63, SIE and series 7 in less than 5 months, quite an accomplishment. I was taking 10 and 15 question quizzes while waiting for pickups. Anything to work in the needed study time.
However, the problem I now have is I need time to work on contacting all my old investors and rebuild my book of business. I cannot talk to these people while I am driving. It’s a funny notion to consider.
To free up the remainder of November and all of December and January I would need about $10,000. That would allow me to spend a good two and a half months working back. The programs I’d work on include green energy, tax benefitted investments and much in real estate. I know I can make this work if I have the time.
I know what you are thinking, borrow from family or friends. My family is small and presently no one is in a position to make that kind of a loan. Similarly for my group of friends, either they are unable to do it or our relationship isn’t of the kind where I’d ask to borrow such sums of money. I thought to go to some past investors but I don’t think that’s a great idea. So this comes back to the hope that maybe I can get enough people on here to help me out. Every $200 buys me a free day.
So I ask, can you help me? Help get me restarted and help get me out of this car! I hope this missive finds you well and I thank you for reading it, whether you contribute or not. I hope you are having a fine winter day.

Hello, my name is Olivia, and I’m the proud owner of The Beauty Euphoria, an online store specializing in high-quality lipsticks and liquid-to-matte lipsticks. My products stand out because of their moisturizing and gentle formula, which keeps lips comfortable all day long.

As a cruelty-free brand, we don’t test on animals, and our products are free from parabens. Our liquid-to-matte lipsticks are smudge-proof and only come off with makeup remover, setting us apart from our competitors.

I’m seeking financial help to grow my business. Despite putting in the hard work of defining my audience, setting up automations, and designing an online storefront that I’m proud of, I’ve faced challenges in building inventory, marketing, and advertising due to restarting my business a few times.

As a young, single woman striving to take charge of my future, I’m determined to make this dream a reality. Any support—big or small—would mean the world to me. It would help me take the next step in expanding The Beauty Euphoria and reaching more people with products I truly believe in.

Thank you for considering my story and for supporting a woman-owned business.

Hello!  My family has recently relocated from Pennsylvania to North Carolina to find an area to better support our children’s needs specifically our son with ASD.   Our new home and school has already validated our instincts to move and now I am very confident to set my roots professionally in this area.  I have leased a location and am in search of assistance in getting the business off the ground.  I would use these funds for rent and marketing purposes as I build my brand in a new area. With 24 years experience in my industry hoping to “take off” soon.

Thanks for your consideration!

This opportunity has just been offered to me and it’s too good to pass up so I am here mercilessly begging for a $350,000USD grant. This money would allow me to purchase a long standing, turn key, very popular and profitable beach bar and grill business in the most prime location (actually on the beach) on an island in Belize. I currently spend lots of my time there during the year as I purchased property there in July 2019 and have garnered many friendships and connections to the community. I’m also currently in the process of building my retirement dream home on said property and this amazing income opportunity and dream has now been offered to me. I don’t have the funds to build my home AND to take advantage of this opportunity to own my own business and generate income there on the island so I’m asking for your help. Permits, licenses, certifications, employees, management, equipment, furniture etc…It’s all a package deal. Everything comes with it and is in place to sign paperwork to easily transition ownership and continue business as usual generating profit. I’ve seen the financials and they’re too good for me to not reach out and ask for the gracious generosity of others who so seek to give it. This grant will afford me the freedom financially, physically and emotionally to be able to quit and/or retire early from my current 12 hour swing shift job that I’ve worked so hard at for 19 years. I’m so very grateful for the life my job has provided me and my family but I’ve longed for the freedom of the life I’ve lived on that island for weeks at a time over the last few years. I’ll be 52 years old in January and like I said earlier, I started fulfilling my dream of island living when I purchased property there in 2019 and then broke ground on the construction of my home there just 4 months ago. Knowing that I still need to have an income has hindered me from getting to make any permanent plans for a move to the island thus far. This money will provide me with my own turn key business and an income that will make my dream of permanently moving to my favorite little island a reality for me all that much sooner. The bonus will be the generational income pap d environment that this business will be creating for my 2 daughters and 3 grandchildren to enjoy in our favorite little piece of paradise for years to come. Thank you for your time, consideration and generosity!!

I am a diabled person who does not recieve adequate Social Security to cover monthly costs and my disability/health condition limits my ability to actually perform/or maintain a job. I would like to start a small business to supplement Social Security cover medical expenses and hire other disabled individuals, which can be accomplished admist health issues as the typical barriers of time constraints and performance, travel etc. would be lifted. The business would be providing youth sports leagues an school sports with a photo package which includes sports cards of the entire team and a blown up of the individual. which can be done fairly inexpensively and generate a modest revenue to which again helps to cover costs that Social Secruity does not cover in these times where housing, groceries and daily day to day expenses have become unbarable.

Hello Begging Money

My name is Sharon Clarke, and I am a fashion designer. I started a small fashion business, funding it on my own. I then secured a job altering clothes for a fashion company’s e-commerce shoot in New York City and decided to rent a studio nearby for my business. However, after just one month, they informed me that they no longer needed my services, leaving me in a difficult financial situation. Now, I’m struggling to cover the costs of both my apartment and studio without steady income.
To prepare for possible challenges, I had launched a YouTube channel. Unfortunately, my camera was stolen along with all my footage, preventing me from building the subscriber base needed to monetize the channel.

I am doing everything I can to raise funds to keep my studio, and I plan to start a tailoring service to stay afloat. However, the process is slower than I anticipated. I’m also working on a clothing line that I hope to sell next year, but the financial strain has affected my ability to focus.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
