Hi, my name is Arianna and I am 18 years old. I am a freshman year college nursing student. I am paying for college on my own. My parents do not assist me in paying for my tuition, books, or supplies. I work 30-40 hours a week to pay my bills and go to school full time. The only thing I do not pay is rent as I live at home with my mom, although all I truly am ever home for is to sleep, shower, and change my clothes. I received a lot of scholarship and grant money but I still had to take $5500 out for the year in loans. My car is falling apart and is my only mode of transportation. The brakes need work. I need new tires. The check engine light comes on and off regularly. The inside door handle is broken on the drivers side. The drivers side seat is stuck in its current position and the car is as old as me. I have put a decent amount into the car but I can not afford to have an unreliable car between my classes and working. I can not afford the insurance for a car with a car payment so I am saving up to buy a newer car in full but I do not know how long I have until my car dies out on me. I could really use the assistance to buy a new to me car so I do not end up stranded trying to get from point A to point B.  My goal is to buy a $5000 car with no more than 150K miles on it and no older than 2005. I have some money put away so far but far from enough. I can not work more hours than I already do and maintain the GPA necessary to maintain one of the scholarships I received which pays for a good deal of my tuition. I have been saving but at the rate I can afford to save it would take me more time than I have left with my car. I believe I will need a new car by March but I know I will not be able to get enough money saved in time to even come close to be able to buy a car that did not have all the issues I am having with my current car. I appreciate every donation in advanced and thank you !

My name is Amanda, and this has not been a stellar year for me so far.

Starting in December, I got into a car accident that totaled my beloved Honda Civic. (Roof was caved in and would have cost $8-10k to fix – car was worth $3k in perfect condition.) My dad was able to find a car to fix it up for me – that cost me $2,000 I didn’t have.

A month later, my health insurance changed, and I went from having to pay $0 a month, to $200 a month.

I switched to my work health insurance, to get a lower deductible (the first deductible was $2,250, now it’s $750) but it costs $60/paycheck, or $240 a month.

Got the new car, but the wrong sized tires were put on the car. One tire blew out on the highway and I had to get a whole new set – that cost me $500.

Then, I hit a HUGE FRIGGIN CANADIAN GOOSE – cracked the heck out of my windshield on the car I’d only had for a month and was still trying to pay off – that cost me $250.

Then, my dad said, “can your little brother live with you?” and then essentially gave up any responsibility for him, meaning I had to pay more for gas to drive him to and from school, pay for more groceries, etc. He started college in September. I had to shell out $400 for textbooks. He got his license. I have to shell out $250 extra for car insurance because he’s an 18-year-old male. He needs a cell phone – that added to my cell phone bill.

The AC in my car crapped out and I got a hole in one of my tires at the same time back in June – that cost me $600.

I wouldn’t usually ask strangers for money. But my dad won’t put any money towards paying me back for what I’ve helped my brother with. I have bills coming out the ying yang. I took out a personal loan to consolidate my credit card debt and more and more things kept coming up and the card is almost filled up again – on top of my huge loan payment I make every month.

Any little bit would help. I’m drowning.

Thank you in advance.

Car accident.

Crack windshield that needed to be fixed – the crack came all the way through from the outside to the inside.

 

Hi. My name is Jay and I’ll be upfront with you: I need money to help me with getting repairs for my car.
Last year, I started an non-profit organization and I drive throughout the city to help provide services like educational and occupational training to adults who otherwise wouldn’t have those chances because unfortunately, they closed the adult education center here. My car is literally my life line to the city, and having been down without it for the past couple of months has been creating a strain not just on me, but also on my family, and the people in the community at large. It’s hard to be a service provider when you have to keep trying to arrange a pickup or a drop off via a family member, friends, or paying for an Uber or a Lyft ride.
I had a friend of mine call the guy that she takes her car to, he gave my car a once over and said that it needs major engine work, and also a new exhaust system because the one on there now is old and starting to rust out. All in all, he said that the repairs would estimate to around $5,000 at a shop or more, because it’s all parts that would include actually repairing the engine intake and exhaust systems, and my knowledge of cars runs out at performing the basic tune-up, so I wouldn’t even begin to know how to break down an engine! I can’t even afford to have the car towed to a shop since I work off of donations from whatever folks can afford to pay, which normally isn’t a whole lot.
BUT…I need my car desperately, because without my car, I can’t do my job. If I can’t do my job, I fail myself and those folks who believe not just in me, but believe in the idea that people like us can change lives through compassion, and caring. I just need my car back, and I really need someone to help me get it repaired. I’d ask my mom, but she’s 73 and her SSI isn’t much. I can’t ask my siblings because all of them are going through their own situations-same as my friends. I don’t have the strongest credit, and I’m trying to rebuild it- so having a car that is out of commission has thrown a pretty big monkey wrench in the works. With my car running, we had two running cars at the house. Now we just have the one and I desperately am trying to get my car back working so that my mom isn’t doing a lot of driving- especially at night.
I believe in the work that I do, and I also believe in paying it forward, so if you can find it in your heart to help me get my car the repairs it needs, then not only will I be able to help provide services again, but I also won’t have to worry my mom about where I am or if I’ll make it home at night, or bug my family & friends about trying to get a ride.

To whoever is reading this;

Hi, I’m currently a 19 y/o full time community college student taking 15 credit hours and I am financially independent but currently in a spot of trouble.

Unfortunately in the past year and a half, I have been continually hit with misfortunes that have now left me looking at some serious trouble.

To begin I will start with my own health.. I have 4 wisdom teeth coming in, and they are all going completely sideways and eventually will impact, and with no insurance there is no way I can pay for the operation to have them removed. I am not sure how long I have until it becomes urgent for me to remove them but I would really like to remove them in the near future.

Financially I am seriously beginning to drown. My car which is my main means of transportation keeps having issues that have been costing me money since I bought it less than 2 years ago. I wish I had gotten something more reliable but at this point I have too much invested to even sell it. Today I discovered oil leaks on the ground and suspect it may be a rear main seal or a oil pan gasket failure. I have spent over 7000 dollars trying to keep this car running and it has now run me dry. I need it to get to work and school, I don’t know what else I can do about it. Furthermore, I pay for all my own expenses, I have car insurance coming up ($1100), as well as bike insurance. ($400) (I bought the bike to save on gas, it is not a supersport bike, it gets 66mpg and is much cheaper to insure than my car.) Unfortunately I managed to low-side the bike recently while commuting to school in the rain, and I have not had the funds to repair it since. (I had also dropped it earlier in the summer and that had cost me a pretty penny as well, got butter fingers I guess)
Here is a screenshot of the car repair spreadsheet I have been keeping up with since owning the vehicle (It is missing some items I have lost receipts for however):

Currently I am actually in debt, (less than 5 dollars in my checking account, with a credit balance due, and only 200 left on the line itself), quite the opposite of where I’d like to be since I know I will soon have to worry about covering the cost to transfer to a full-university to finish my degree. I don’t even go out or waste money on non-necessity’s, I simply end up losing all my money on bad luck. I go to school from 9-2, and work from 4-10 everyday. I don’t know what else to do because I simply don’t make enough and can’t find a second job without jeopardizing my grades.

I really wish I didn’t have to ask for money like this, I hate to be a burden to anyone. It would really mean the world to me if I could just get some help in my time of need though, I don’t even have family to turn to because of a whirlpool of issues there involving divorce, grudges, etc… I know that there are some very nice people out in the world, and I’d like to thank the kind person who is here right now for reading what I have to say.

If you’d like to help me out, I would apprecite it so soooooo much… paypal.me/zorikos

Thank you for taking the time to read my request. I never thought I’d be on the internet begging strangers for money, but here I am.

First, a little about me. I’m 25 years old and am in my 3rd year of teaching elementary school. I’m enrolled in grad school so that I can further my career in education. A year and a half ago I had absolutely no debt. I worked full time through undergrad and didn’t take out any loans.

Fast forward 3 years from graduation and I’m now swimming in debt. Mostly because my roommate bailed on the lease and I’m having to pay double the amount I planned for, and also because I made some stupid impulse purchases and travel plans.

The debt itself is not the issue, as I can buckle down and find a new apartment in order to pay that debt off in 2 years or so. The issue is that my 10 year old car is very quickly reaching the end of its life and I can’t afford to replace it AND pay off my debt.

So, I’m on here to ask for help. I’m looking to save up around 5-6k for a decent down payment on a used car. That way I won’t have to take out such a huge loan with a high interest rate.

I am REALLY trying to get back on track because I know racking up debt was stupid and I’m learning the hard way that it doesn’t just affect your credit score, it makes a lot of other things difficult as well.

If you made it this far, thank you. Any donations helps, even if it’s just prayers.

Hi my name is Josef and I recently got my car repossessed and have been trying to get it back for a while. I feel like they’re close to just auctioning it off so I’m in a bit of an insurmountable position.  My car is important to my personal life as well as my job due to minor traveling being apart of my position. I’m looking for 20k to cover everything, that’s about 15k to pay off the car and then the extra for impound fees. Any amount will help whether it be the full from one person or multiple doners. I thank you and hope can help. https://www.paypal.me/jamaaljosef

You ever work so hard and yet feel the money you make isn’t enough to get you where you want to be? Well that’s me! I work full time with a good company but I work extremely hard. I sweat everyday, all day,  when I’m at work. My hours vary week by week because I don’t have a permanent set schedule, so I don’t get proper sleep. Lately I’ve been traveling a lot for work, and I’m using my own vehicle. My vehicle is what I need help with because I’ve been putting so many miles on it this year it’s ridiculous. In one week, I can put over 1,400 miles on my personal vehicle and now it’s starting to overheat on me. It’s also making a weird vibration with a metallic like sound. I’m worried if my car breaks down, I won’t have the money to fix it to continue traveling for work. I don’t own my car yet but I’m about 11,000$ away from owing it. I want to keep my car, I don’t want to sell it. I plan on keeping it and eventually buy an old beat up truck for my short drives back and forth from work, when I do work locally. I’m 27 years old and have no college education. I still try to learn something new everyday. Anyway, I’m on here begging for money from anyone with extra to spare to help a young man out fix his car up. I know I need a water pump which isn’t expensive, which I can actually afford. I think I need a new radiator and fan, which for my car can cost up to 800$. Another problem I think I have with the car is a head gasket leak because I constantly need to refill my antifreeze coolant reservoir tank. Head gaskets themselves aren’t expensive but the labor cost for the time it requires to remove the heads is really expensive for me right now. I know I also need one engine mount. Which cost about 300$ for parts and installation. Thank you to whoever actually reads this and is able to donate whatever you can. Anything helps me at this time. I hope to win the lottery one day and be able to afford a brand new upgraded, more powerful motor, and all the supporting modifications it takes to handle the newfound power, and to fix my front bumper because I hit a armadillo one night and it broke the bottom of my front bumper and it would cost over 1000$ to fix it to look good again. Anyway thanks again for anyone who can help me reach these goals and to have a dependable long distance driver!

On August 12, 2018, While me and my Fiance were travelling home one night, a van came into our lane and swerved us off the road . We are blessed to be okay. The car I wrecked was a 2000 Lexus GS 400. It was totaled because the damage was more than the car was worth. When I bought the car at 16,( I am now 18, 2 yrs later) I purchased the car from my Boss for 500$. He was only selling it to me at that price  because he was aware of my situation with 2 alcoholic parents, and he knew i needed a way of transportation because I wanted to move out. However, because i was 16 when i purchased it, the car was put in my Mother’s name. When my car was totaled at an estimated 3,238$ , since the car was in her name, the check was also in her name. She is addicted to drugs,  and she refuses to let me see any of that money to provide me and my Fiance a car. She is aware that my car was the only mean of transportation to and from work for my fiance. 3,000 dollars isn’t much to by a car with anyways, but it definitely would help me pick one to finance on.  I just have really been put in a bind since this accident, especially since my Fiance has had a tough time working his construction job because of some back injuries as a result. We just dont have the money to get a car, not even an old one.

Our Dream:

We are a team of two 17-year-old high school students, hailing from the San Francisco Bay Area. We have both been interested in cars, mainly taking them apart and modifying them, from very young ages. Now that we’re a bit older and have more freedom, we decided that we want to move away from working on our families’ and friends’ cars and open our own mechanic shop where we can customize and restore cars at our own will. We’ve tried this in the past, but the fact that we are in high school combined with the severe monetary limitations that come with that, have proven this to be a difficult task. Having the funding to open a shop of our own where we can give back to the communities that have given so much to us would be, though it sounds sappy, quite a dream come true.

 

Our Team:

W has been interested in cars from a very young age, though he never acted on those interests until recently when he realized that he wanted to turn mechanics and car modification into a career. He has experience with mechanics and hardware, as well as programming and computer science. Recently, he began pursuing his interests in cars by conducting extensive research and planning out several cars that he’d like to construct and modify in the future, as well as helping family members and friends repair their vehicles.

 

C has been raised in a family of hobbyist automotive engineers.  He has been building and playing with cars since before he could walk.  After years of working on contract as a mechanic in a few different shops, he decided it was time to build a company of his own.  He has extensive experience in automotive and electrical engineering, as well as years of behind-the-wheel track experience. He wants to build a company in which he can build and modify cars in his own vision, hopefully shaping or revolutionizing a part of the auto industry.

 

The Details:

Our shop will be located in W’s garage space and it’s accompanying patio area. We are asking for your generous donations so that we can afford the equipment that is necessary for extensive modification as well as a vehicle to start out with as our first project. Instead of merely repairing cars, we plan on purchasing cars that are broken down, repairing and modifying them, then selling them once we’re proud of their condition. We have decided that our first project will be a Mitsubishi Eclipse Convertible, a car which has parts readily available online and can also be found for reasonable prices online.

 

With your help, we can make this dream into reality. Your donations mean the world to us as we will not be able to realize our goals without your help.

 

Sincerely,

WH CW, HW Customs

So this semester, I was unable to travel back to Missouri where I was going to college at due to car issues… one problem after another, after another… the issues keep adding up and although I have a steady job, it’s just not enough. The current issue I’m trying to fix is breaks… that’s a big one. Obviously, while their are other issues, this one regards my safety and I would like to fix this issue first. Other related issues are bad sensors (causing the car to burn more gas than usual), issues with my NEW tires (maybe needs alignment), needs new catalytic converter…. the list goes on. I have other bills that I need to pay and I feel like I’m just getting more and more behind and I feel like the longer I wait, the more things that break. Usually I’d never ever ask for any help financially, but something has gotta give… in hoping there’s someone out there with a kind heart that’s willing to help and I’m hoping to give back and/or “pay it forward” once I finally get back on my feet. I’m hoping to return to a college campus (maybe not one as far away) as soon as I can get my car issues under control. Not only will fixing all of these issues help me out tremendously and take a weight off my shoulders, it would definitely help me get back on track to go back to school once I have a reliable vehicle once again. My family has done all that they can to help me and this is a last resort effort. I live in an area where “having more than one job” isn’t very practical. I live in the middle of nowhere, 40+ minutes away from any sort of other job aside from the one I have. I’ve tested out all of my options and this is my last resort. I’m hoping there’s somewhere out there with a good heart. Every little bit of money would help.   Thanks!

I am in need of car to get to and from work to keep my job. I have lived a life that has taken my savings from me. I have a daughter that got hooked on drugs. As a parent I did everything I could to save her from that world she was in. It has financially token a tool on me. I have been using a friends car to get to and from work they need there car back.   I have not got the chance to save money all money went towards help for my daughter. I live paycheck to paycheck. I would like to keep my job to rebuild myself back up. But with out having transportation I won’t be able to.  Fighting the drug world is very hard and stressful on your life. You will do anything to try to say your child. And from me trying it has left me living check to check. She finally is getting the help she needs. It’s been a long 4 years. Over the 4 years trying to help her and keeping up with credit cards I had to chose as any parent they would chose there child. Now that she had gotten help I reach out to GreenPath and they worked a plan with me to help get my debit paid off. So as of this time due to credit I just can’t go get a loan.  I am trying very hard to rebuild my credit and savings and I know it’s not going to happen over night but I also know that if I don’t have a job I can’t pay my debits or rebuild my savings. Anything will help towards getting a car and would be appreciate.  paypal.me/zam200

Hello, my name is Brandon & recently I feel on hard times & lost my job about 4 1/5 months ago, as the company I worked for decided to have layoffs. Unfourtantly my reconciliation department was affected by this & along with a few of my peers we were let go after 5 years of service to the company. Over the past few months, I have been chasing leads & things look on the up & up as I recently was hired by UHG. Having faith in god & trusting his process has helped me & my wife maintain, & stay afloat these last couple months. I start my new job this month on the 17th (super excited) to get back in the workforce. I’m here as a last resort to help me keep my car until I am fully able to catch up. I’m unsure of this website legitimacy, but I feel like God lead me this way in my most desperate moment for a reason. So i will continue to have faith. I know its a long shot but hey hopefully its worth it. My Beautiful wife (of 3 years, 8 years together) & I share a dodge challenger, as a door greeter at Walmart my wife salary cant cover the note & pay rent. so, of course, we decided to pay the rent. but losing my car would be a major setback when all I’m trying to do is to get ahead for my growing family. Growing up I was taught you work hard & never complain cause life isn’t fair if you got lemons to make lemonade. I believe in working for everything you get.

In Ephesians 4:48 it says “Anyone who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with their own hands, that they may have something to share with those in need” I’d rather lose it all then to embarrass, my wife, mother, father or my son by doing anything illegal so I really hope someone out there can help me reach my goal 622 to pay my car note & hopefully once I start this new job on the 17th, things will start looking up for Me & Little Family. I have high aspirations in life, just an unlucky guy who fell on hard times. From my mouth to God’s ears, I really Hope this is worth it.

with love Brandon

I am sure you hear all kinds of pleas but please hear me out.

Life is not fair and I understand that but starting 10 years ago when I was the victim of domestic violence my life has spiraled to below the bottom of the barrel. At the time it happened my now ex-husband and I were living in a house owned by his mother. After it happened she asked me to move out because the only other option was him at her house. Being too low on self esteem and high in respect I did so, and having no means of support bad choices involving manipulative unsavory people kept me going down.

I live in a friend’s storage on his property. I struggled for a couple years just to afford a laptop to make some money on line. I am fortunate to receive $250 a month in back child support and I do not get any government aid or food stamps. I have no vehicle, no way to get back and forth to a job and there is no public transportation here. I live several miles from town in a rural community.

I am extremely motivated. I am 52 and alone except for my friend and his girlfriend who are kind enough to let me stay here free but that is the most they can do. My ex paying the back child support is 20 years my senior so any month that income could abruptly end without warning so I need to do something ASAP.

Someone gave me a car that has been sitting  for a few years after it was in an accident. Someone did the body work to it to make it functional again. What I need is about $1000 to replace the fluids (gas, oil, brake, transmission, etc), the belts and tires (which have dry rotted the years it sat) to get a battery and get the car registered and insured. Hopefully that would also leave some gas money so I can find a job and be able to get back and forth to work.

Living in this storage has helped me work out my issues stemming from years of abuse and neglect as a child. I learned that I don’t deserve to be abused and should not put up with it. I want the next relationship I am in to be out of want and not need. This time here has been good for me in many ways but I am ready to move on.

Please help me to help myself.

Hello,

Please read.

I am in dire need of help. My car needs $2600 worth of repair and I cannot afford it at all. I’m still paying on this car and can’t even afford the note this month. The past 5 months have been the worse of my life and if it wasn’t for my kids I’m not sure what I would do. They are definitely what’s keeping me here. I now realize that I am seriously suffering from depression and no matter how hard I pray or try to move forward something always happens. I was previously living in NC, working and paying my bills until my daughter ran away (ran away with a “bad boy”). My daughter is 16 (turning 17 Friday) and my second child is 8. My daughter would help with my younger child after school until I got off of work. Well when my daughter ran away not only was I dealing with trying to locate her but I had no one to help with my son. I was having to leave work early and take days off. My job was understanding at first. The first time my daughter was gone for 8 days and found by police with the boy. I thought everything was fine and 4 days later she ran away again, this time for a month. Again she was found by police with the boy. In May because I missed so many days of work going to the police station and juvenile court I was terminated. Realizing I needed help with my teen, I decided to move to Delaware and send my daughter with her father’s family in NJ. I drove my daughter to NJ (so she wouldn’t be able to run away again) and went back to NC to finish packing and move. I had my final paycheck and unemployment to move. I started looking for jobs before I left NC so that I can have something in place. I actually had an interview set up for the day after I got to Delaware. I had to rent a truck and tow dolly on my credit card because I couldn’t afford cash. I maxed my credit card but I had to do it. The entire time my teen was in NJ and I was in NC we were in contact and she seemed to be okay and understood why I did what I did. When I arrived in Delaware it was late and couldn’t move in my apartment until the next day. That night I received a call from my daughter’s family stating she wasn’t in the house. My daughter once again ran away from NJ. I later found out that this same “bad boy” drove to NJ and got her as I was driving to Delaware to try to start over. I was so distraught and didn’t even know where to begin.

The next day I had to drive to NJ to file a report however when I drove my car off of the tow dolly there was a loud scraping noise, the abs light was on and my back wheels were unstable. This led to me not being able to drive my car so I couldn’t get to Jersey and I still had to move in my apt. Fast forward I wasn’t sure what happened so I filed a claim with Uhaul. My vehicle has been sitting at the Nissan dealership since July 9th, 2018 with $2600 worth of damage. They are not sure what happened to my car but think it’s because it should’ve been in neutral. However, when the employee hooked my car up they told me to put it in park. I had no clue that was wrong. Fast forward I have no transportation, had to cancel my interview and haven’t been able to find work because nothing is close enough or on bus route. The insurance company for Uhaul just let me know August 2nd that my claim was denied because they are not liable. My insurance won’t cover it because it wasn’t comp or collision. Nissan is giving me to Friday to approve them to fix it or I have to move it from there lot and pay the $90 assessment fee. I don’t have anything. Nothing at all! I really need my car. If anyone can help, please help me. I can pay you back with my taxes, I know that months away but that’s the only time I’ll have any extra money. I understand there’s a lot of people going through a lot but I just thought I’d try. Any help or resources is greatly appreciated. If anything, thank you for reading!

Last week, the transmission in my car went out… While it was parked I cancelled the insurance, so I could put the money toward repairs, as they weren’t covered under my liability insurance.

A few short days later, someone skipped the curb at our apartment complex and slammed into my front end, bending the front left axle, before tearing away into the night. No cameras at our small complex, and no witnesses as it was extremely late/early.

My credit isn’t terrible (650) but I haven’t done much to build it, having struck out on my own as the recession hit and being paranoid about credit in general. Because of this, I’m unable to secure a loan. And even with a cosigner, that I can’t find, the terms are too steep for what I require and I’d be destitute before I could raise the money, being without a car.

I also work at a sod farm that doesn’t do Direct Deposit, so it disqualifies me from most online “desperation” options, which I HAVE pursued.

After consulting with body shops, the total came out to about $5400 with the transmission and collision damage. I rounded the total down, as I’d feel bad not paying at least something and $400 is no small number for me.

For $2000, I could simply buy a halfway decent vehicle and use that as I work toward repairing the other vehicle. So this is an option, as well.

I appreciate your consideration. For perspective, I came up rough and I’ve been grinding for the past 12 years to keep from spiraling back into that life. Before this, things were looking pretty great. I’m real proud of myself for that, and my biggest anxiety is my life falling to ruin over this. Uber’ing and lyft’ing to my job isn’t an option, as it would eat up half my pay to get there and back.

I have a few rescue animals that I would hate to have to relocate and genuinely nowhere to go but to a shelter should my income drop any more.

I really have exhausted all other options, and would appreciate the help. Thank you.

My kids and I want to say thank you for taking the time to read about our situation and are humble to seek this help.

My name is Sonya and I have 3 amazing kids by a marriage that did not work out.  State Laws do not give step-parents any rights for support or care of kids in a divorce.  My kids choose to stay with me most of the time.  I am a 20-year retired Navy Veteran who just can’t say no to kids or “we” can’t do something.  My son Junior is 10, sister Serenity is turning 9 and our babygirl turns 3 Aug 13.  I do not believe in spoiling kids and am a stern driver for discipline!

My request to seek help comes from getting an oil change recently and learned my 2007 suv needs a new exhaust manifold gasket, a valve stem replaced on a leaky tire, and warn fan belts replaced. I am also moving into our own place, instead of my parents basement, so the kids can have their own room and not have to when they see me.  I acquired over $10,000 in debt from the wedding/marriage and cannot seem to get ahead with my only vehicle repairs and couldn’t afford my own place at time of divorce.

I do work at a local cafe owned by my mom’s friends, however they are a month behind on paying me because they are expanding their bar.  No excuse and probably illegal I know, but it is a “they help me I help them situation.”

As a financial advisor in the military I could steer Sailors and Marines out of debt all day, but as for myself i seem to be starting to sink for the first in my life.  I only pray I am not the bad lesson my children have to learn from about living at our means and not our wants.  Regardless of the success with this website or yourself reading this, I know together we will survive.

 

Hi there…

Gosh, I don’t even know where to start. I didn’t think I would be writing something like this today, or rather, ever.

I’m a twenty-year-old self-taught computer programmer in college.

This is going to sound like a sob story for a hot minute, but please know, that isn’t my intention.

July started off like any other month for me, I’m sure for everyone. I wish it would have stayed that way… My mental health bills and medication are outrageously expensive especially without insurance because for some reason its impossible to find reasonable insurance. My job was primarily to settle that problem.  It allowed me to pay for my medication and get a few groceries every month- but that was about it.

I knew about an ongoing issue with my car, it was running out of oil so fast all the darn time, without any sort of leak. My dad says it was due to being an older car. (2006 ford explorer) But never did I expect it to just explode one day. It always warned me before, the light would come on, and I put oil in it. Every few months I had a full oil change. This time, it happened so fast I didn’t even get a light. Within 2 weeks of putting oil in it last, the motor took a dump– while I was going 75mph on the highway on my way home from work– that was fun…

Everyone was fine- considering I was the only one in the car- I managed to get it off the road and out of the way. My family “car doctors” took a look, and over the next week, we tried every method possible to revive the poor girl. It didn’t work.

Within a week, I was working out a ride to work the next day when my manager called to inform me she had transferred my contract to someone else. I knew my meeting was scheduled to be renewed in October, but for some reason, she pushed it forward because some other worker needed a transfer from somewhere else in Florida, and-
Never mind that, that is a long story. Essentially, there was nowhere for me to transfer so I was terminated, along with my work partner.

If it wasn’t for that moment, I would not be here writing this today. I would be working and putting all of my earnings towards the car.

But now I don’t have a job, I’m stuck with availability due to schooling, without a car.

Alright- step one. Get a job.
nope- wait, can’t do that without a car.

Step 1. Get a car.
nope- no way- that’s too expensive, plus I completely own this car and it cost way more than it would for a new engine.

Alright! Step 1! Get a new motor.

The best price the “car people” in my family could pull up is a $1,475 motor being sold.

I have been applying for job after job, 15 or 16 a day. (On the massive job finding sites)
As well as at the actual companies and main company websites. (such as Walmart, Publix, etc.)

I have heard little back, and its honestly degrading.  I’m running out of time, seriously. My emergency medicine money for my mental health is on its last use (unfortunately its medication that cannot be stopped suddently, or else I strongly considered just going without)

My family cannot provide assistance more than support and a day to borrow a car here and there. We all have financial stuff going on, I don’t hold it to them. I don’t hold it to anyone, actually.

One thing I would like to stress is, I’m fine. Somehow with all of this, I am managing to keep my head on straight.
That being said, I need help this time. I have been pulling all-nighters searching for a job, talking to people about options, coding programs to try and sell, anything I could think of.

The only thing I could possibly ask for is help with the motor. Just the motor.
My brother has offered to do the labor, and as for the spark plugs and belts I’ll probably need- that’s my problem.

The funds i may receive from this would ONLY be used towards the motor.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, thank you for even making it this far.
Anything would help, truly, anything…

Hello everyone. My name is Pam Neronha and I am a former whistleblower in the drinking water treatment field. This happened to me a decade ago in 2007 when we experienced the economic downturn, and I was approaching my 50^th birthday. I was highly successful in my career, but when I spoke up regarding the public health and safety of three cities’ drinking water we were providing, my career turned a corner. I won my case against my former employer but was never hired again by a public agency. I went back to school to earn an MPA, and even this could not get me a job in either the public or private sector.

So, in 2015 I decided it was time to start my own company to try and help the public understand where their drinking water comes from and how they can better control what flows out of their tap and into their showers. I also wanted to protect the public from events that may happen at their public utility without them being aware, utilizing new technology.

I won a full scholarship to an MBA program. I will now be completing my final semesters this fall and in 2019. I founded the company on August 10, 2016. It is called Pluvion, Inc. I have been struggling to get traction for the company, to support myself and to get funding to build and launch the first prototypes. I moved the company from San Francisco to the City of Mount Shasta, California to afford rent. With another catastrophic year of wildfires burning here in our state, my technology is needed more than ever. I am committed to the company and have put at least a third of my savings every year into its maintenance, while living on $21,000 a year in California. I am very close to launching the two websites and obtaining the data from consumers.

Here is how you can help me. I need $825 to pay for an air fuel ratio sensor for my 2007 Toyota Prius which now has 239,000 miles on it. I am looking for help to pay for this expense and keep my car on the road. I lived in this car in the Bay Area while starting the company prior to moving to Mount Shasta. I was not able to attach an image of the bill from Toyota since the image size and type is not supported on this site. I can provide a copy of the estimate for the part at your request. This car repair is only one of the three hurdles (the other two hurdles are dental work and books/lodging expenses for school), I need to cross before launching. I would greatly appreciate your help.

Hello,

I don’t even know where to start. This is the 1st time I have ever really put myself out there for help. I live in Charleston, SC. Over the past 3 weeks it has rained everyday non-stop & the humidity generally around 82%-99%. As you can imagine this is hard on the AC Units. 2 Weeks ago my 2004 vehicle AC when out. I can handle the heat but the humidity is another struggle. In addition, my mother is on oxygen & lives with me. I ABSOLUTELY could not have her out & about with no AC.  So I took it to my local pep boys who quickly identified that the electrical problem. No power was getting to the switch for the AC. They advised that they are unable to fix it & would have to take it to the dealer.

So I called the dealer. The dealer advised that the diagnostics alone was $150. Yes, that’s right $150 just to determine what the problem was. What’s a girl to do. Pay it. So they told me that to fix the electrical would be $550. I asked if that would fix the AC. The mechanic advised that it should.

Surprise!!!!! It didn’t :(. So they further inspected it & discovered that a part of the blower has malfunctioned. So yup, that’s right. It needs to be replaced. The part literally costs $67 but the labor is the kicker. $484 later I have AC.

 

Well this Sunday comes & I walk into the garage & see a puddle of water on the ground. My heart drops. I shimmy up into the attic to look at the AC unit. Water is soaking through the insulation. Great! The AC is blowing warm air as well. This had to be fixed immediately. My mother on oxygen can’t handle this. So yup emergency, weekend call! Damage $1100.

It’s the 1st of the month & you guessed it. Mortgage of $ 875 is due. What’s a girl to do? Ask strangers for help. I have spent over $3000 in 2 weeks that I don’t have. Any amount is a blessing.  Thank you for your time.

Hello! My son just started at a community college, which is about an hour’s drive from home. He is finishing up his first summer semester and doing spectacular. Unfortunately, our car broke down this summer. It’s not a new or fancy car. It’s 12 years old, but in decent shape. However, wear and tear has worn the poor thing down. It started to overheat when idling or driving through traffic, which is even worse in crazy, hot summer weather. I wanted them to check the brakes, too, since they seemed a bit spongy at times and I wanted to make sure he would be safe driving. Unfortunately, it turns out that the old dear needs new brakes, an engine fan, and a new motor for the window (it got stuck down and then the window motor died). It will cost $755.53 to fix. I have attached a photo of the estimate.

We are a family of 6 with very low income. We have two little ones still, ages 5 and 6, and another son who is 16. My husband just finished his bachelor’s degree in December and is finishing up a few necessary classes before he heads into the medical field. We live in a very small town, with no organizations that can help us. We have a very tight budget that leaves no room for extra expenses. I pick up as many spare jobs as I can, in combination with our normal income and we still barely scrape by. I want my son to be able to focus on his education and not to worry about how he is going to get back and forth. There are enough things to worry about when we grow up and start having to do the whole adult thing, without having to stress over cars and repairs while still in school. It is difficult to find the money to help him out with gas, books, and other necessities, let alone pay for major repairs. We just fixed the brakes on our 15-year-old truck last month, so our saved funds are already depleted. One the pains of owning older vehicles, I know, but they have been good to us for many years.

If you can donate anything towards helping fix the car so he can continue with his education and not have to stress over the money, we would be super excited and eternally grateful. Thank you for taking the time to read this. I appreciate it!

Last year I purchased a 99 dodge dakota from a family member, I made the mistake of assuming the truck was in decent condition. Shortly after coming into possession of the truck I learned it was missing the fuel filler neck, which I intended to replace asap, but then my headlights went out and that became priority.

Shortly after the headlights , the brakes started acting up, going out randomly , losing pressure. Which turned out to be a brake line coming loose, then 2 tires went flat, then the brakes straight went out, all of them, the pads the master cylinder the rotors, the lines. Oh and I forgot to mention that I bought it with a missing blinker too, and rusted out fenders. At first I thought I was getting a good deal and helping someone out at the same time, now I realize I bought a massive work in progress that I cant afford, because I bought it so I could get to work and possibly make some extra cash helping friends or using it to haul scrap metal.

The engine and transmission and all electrical work great, but I cant seem to ever afford fixing it after what little money I earn goes to my bills and necessitys. If anyone can sympathize and is in a place to help, id be much obliged and forever grateful. I dont expect much help in general , but thought it was worth a shot and wouldn’t hurt to try. Thank you for your time.

Hello, I am looking for help funding a safer vehicle for my 7 year old daughter and myself. I have a 1986 Jeep Wagoneer that will be the death of us if I can’t find a new car soon. I have found a vehicle that is safer, has low miles, and is only $4,000.00.

My Jeep has no exhaust system,  large holes in the floor board, and no shoulder strap seat belts in the back seat. Recently, my daughter and I ended up with carbon monoxide poisoning after I had to drive for 2.5 hours running errands.

The lack of proper seat belts in the back seat are hindering us from being able to upgrade my daughter’s car seat to follow the laws and standards. She should be using a booster seat that uses a shoulder strap seat belt. But currently she has to continue using a 5 point harness car seat that uses a lap belt to hold it in place.

My daughter was recently ill for almost two weeks, and we had multiple ER and doctor visits. This has made us strapped for cash. We are a single income family, and raising the whole $4,000 is impossible. I’ve put my Jeep up for sale, and I’m hoping to raise at least $2,000. So all I’m asking to fund is another $2,000 so I can purchase a 1992 Chevy Silverado extended cab pick up truck with low mileage, brand new tires, and a new exhaust system.

Thank you for your consideration, and any help we are so grateful for.

Hi.. as of may 2006 my life changed. My body split. I couldn’t feel my upper body extremities. My arms were moving fast but I couldn’t control them. My head was moving fast back & fourth. I couldn’t look into anyone’s eye with focus. Just couldn’t control anything dealing with my upper body. Yes. It’s was hard to even explain what was happening to me. I carried this problem for almost 10 years. The doctors claim I had to be in pain also. I told them I didn’t realize it was pain. It had began common. I actually thought it was normal, what I was feeling. So I dealt with it. It seemed like every doctor I had went to see. Made it like it was just in my mind. Either that or they looked at me like a crack head. I couldn’t control my upper extremities from shaking. Sometimes I didn’t realize I was shacking. Ppl started to tell me I was shacking apart. Finally  I found a doctor who ran test still not finding anything wrong. Didn’t give up on me. They did a extreme 2 hour body exray/MRI/ ink test & found out my neck was broke. My neck was hanging on by a thin bone. My family & collapsed. How is this possible. Every one (doctors) I send from Nebraska to KC MO and no one find it. I was told that it was so bad. That if I fall wrong I would of been paralyzed from the neck down. Every time I think about the doctors who called me crazy or a crack head. Left me for dead. No one believed me, no one. Anyway I’m a walking talking  mircale. Thank God for my family. & The doctor who stilled by me. I receive disability, it help to pay rent, electric, & phone. I’m not on housing. I try to do my best for myself. I have two therapy animals. Ones a corgi his been with me for almost 10 years, such a loving dog. I have a cat just turnt 2 years old. Love them both. But money is low. I’m looking for help to fix my car. I pay $120 for it. I can’t afford car payment at all. So I bought it out right. It needs some work. I thought I I could have it done 3 years ago. But it sit. I’m hoping someone could help. It needs a battery, spark plug wires 6 plugs , 6 fuel injectors. & Now 4 tires. Anyway. I don’t own anything. But what I do have I make sure to keep clean. My mom is 76 years old. I would like to be able to get around to help her as much as I can. And to be able to drive to see and help her would be awesome for us both. Anything anyone could help with or donate would be truly appreciated. Thank u for reading my story.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I want to say first of all, this is not because I want to, but I need to ask for help with past due rent and desperately needing to get 2 cars fixed. I was brought up the old school way, where you do whatever you have to do to make it and have what you need, which is a trait that I picked up from both of my parents.

 

The reason is because my wife is having to take care of her sick brother who is in hospice with chronic kidney disease and congestive heart failure. Because of that, as my wife has taken over as legal guardian over her brother, she has had to quit her job to take care of him, and in turn, I have had to cut back hours from my job in order to help her and with everything around the house. My wife and myself had a significant amount in savings that we had been building up, as we had built up a year of money in the savings account, but with my wife now not working, and with me having to cut back my own hours with responsibilities at home, we have been using the savings and checking accounts to pay bills with the weekly pay check bringing in little to nothing more to help. We are diligent in budgeting, but the budget has only gone so far when everything keeps piling up. Before this happened, we found ways to cut over $300 in our monthly payments, which helped add to the savings. Now, not only is my wife upset and stressed because of her brother’s health, now we have the financial situation pilling on top of that.

 

When my wife and I were working full time together, we were always on time paying bills before she had to take care of her brother. Now, months after depleting our savings and checking by paying bills first and getting gas and groceries for the house with only one income coming in, we have got behind on our rent and other bills. With my wife having to drive back and forth to see her brother every day to help take care of him because she is his legal guardian, her car is past due for breaks and tires, as well as a standard oil change. I use my car to drive back and forth to work everyday, and it needs tie rods, and wheel bearings, as well as new tires. The cheapest quote that we could find for having these repairs is around $1,500 for both cars. We are already one month behind on rent, which is $800 a month, with another month due soon.

 

If anyone on here knows all too well, once you get behind, it is difficult to catch up, especially trying to catch up on one income. I have done some side work for people when I have had the chance, like cutting grass and whatever odd and end jobs anyone needs for extra money, but it’s been really difficult in finding the time to even try and do that. Not only am I looking for help to get ourselves out of a bind, I am looking help with how to get out of the financial situation that we find ourselves in. My wife and I talked, and we want to do something together that can bring in a good amount of income. We want our money to work for us, and not have to work for money. I say that to say that my wife and I, we are not freeloaders, and we are not people that just want money for free, and we do not think we are entitled to anything. We are here just to ask for help in getting out of this pit that we found ourselves in, and the help in not letting this happen to us again, where we will be able to help others that are in need due to no fault of their own. We now understand, that life happens to everyone, and everyone needs a helping hand from time to time until they can figure out how to thrive and teach others. Do we need help right now, yes, but we don’t want to be dependent on others, we want to know how to fish so we can make our own meals, and feed others in the process. Thank you so much for your time.

Hello, I’m a 20 year old college student just paying off debt while still  trying to sustain my everyday life cost. When not in school I live in a smaller town with scarce job opportunities. I know a car will open me up to so many more job opportunities and possibilities here in my town and even when I’m off at school. Not only will it help me get to jobs but I’ll finally be able to get around on my own in general. It’s been really frustrating relying on people, public transportation, Uber’s, + etc. just to get around everywhere and even more frustrating working  a minimum wage job trying to save for a car, but unable to currently because everything just goes to school and things I literally need to sustain myself like food. My mother has her own debt right now so it kills me inside everytime I need to lean on her for money knowing that she’s already sacrificing so much for me and I’m sick of it. I don’t need anything fancy AT ALL! So I’m asking for $2,000 just for a decent and reliable car because that’s all I need. I feel as though that would greatly  benefit me more long term rather than just asking for my tuition money. Thank you guys so much and I appreciate you if you even took the time to read this.

Peace and Love. <3

I’m asking for a donation, so I can get back on track. I work hard and live check to check. I’m never able to pay bills off at once so things tend to get backed up, because I’m only able to pay the minimum to get by. Problems continue to just rise and its one thing after another. My car is on its last limb, there’s a leak in my gas tank so I have to drive everyday smelling fumes from the gas, also my breaks are going out and my tires are bad, and the starter. That alone is $600 just to get my car back in good condition. Secondly me and my son has needed dental work that has been pushed off because it is just to expensive and not many places offer payment plans. The dental treatment alone is about another $1000, it makes me feel horrible as a mother knowing my son is in pain but not able to pay to get his teeth fixed. With everything so backed up I cant even afford to by food or put gas in the car to get back and forth to work. I know if I could receive a donations I would be able to get things taken care of bills paid and my son taken care off. I’m a hardworking good person just in need of a little help so I can continue building a stable foundation for my kids. I do hope someone is able to assist anything will help. I’m able to provide any documentation for the expenses I need help with, thank you!!

Hello, my name is Heather and I’m a mother of two and the wife of a hard working man in the trucking industry. My husband, bless him, purchased me my first car that had a air conditioner and was super new to me two years ago! I had never had such a wonderful vehicle in my life, I’ve always bought drive it until its scrap cars. I really love my car and I am really grateful to have it. In September of 2017 the check engine light came on and I have not been able to put together the money to get it completely fixed or legal since, but I keep it insured. I cleaned out our meager 401k to get one part replaced and drive it back home so that my husband could get to back and forth to work.

The nearest dealership to me is a four hour drive, I live in the Midland/Odessa part of Texas and there are no shops here that will work on a Mini Cooper, even BMW said they’ll get in trouble if they scan the fob for errors. I have to take it to Arlington to get it worked on.

I’m looking to get help in one of two ways. If I can get the car paid down to 8,100$ I will no longer be upside down on the vehicle and I can refinance for a much better rate and be able to save money much more efficiently. Or if anyone would be willing to help pay for the repairs it needs outright that would be a blessing to my family. This is the only vehicle we have and is very important to our daily life. I do not like driving around illegally, but I have to do what I have to do for my family. Thank you very much for reading!

Hello! My name is Terrance Jones-Daniels, but I go by TJ. Since November of last year I’ve been out of work due to mental health issues and just trying to figure out who I am. As of October of 2017, I’ve been a trans guy, and working towards making sure that I can live my best life. Unfortunately, my mom left the area we were living in in November of 2017, and I was laid off from my job shortly afterwards, due to 4 mental health hospitalizations. I’ve been struggling with depression for a while, and have been in an out of hospitals since June of 2017. I’m currently working on getting my life back on track, but, unfortunately, it hasn’t been easy. After my mom left I lived by myself, and then with a previous significant other, and when we broke up I relocated to El Paso with my dad. He’s been pressuring me since I arrived here to get a job, and get in school, and get my own place, and I’ve been trying. Unfortunately, my phone has been shut off, my car is in danger of being repossessed, and I can’t drive my car long distances due to my rim being cracked. My dad isn’t able to take me to interviews, because he goes to school from 8-5, Monday through Friday, and he won’t let me drive his car, unfortunately. I’m just at a hard point in my life, where I feel like no matter how hard I try, nothing is truly working to benefit me, but, I refuse to give up. To have my phone turned back on, I owe $400-I’m a couple of months behind on my bill, the cost to replace the rim is $200 and my car payment is $350.Please help out if you can, and thank you.

Hi I’m Chelsea. Last year my 2007 mini cooper’s engine blew. I have spent the last year trying different avenues on getting it repaired. Nothing is leading to an answer. I have received 2 different quotes on getting it fixed. BMW wanted $13,000 and another auto place wanted $5,000. I tried talking to different technical auto schools to see if they would work with me, I had no responses. I’ve been driving my fathers 2003 Ford Focus but with my luck, it needs $1,500 in repairs and is unsafe to drive due to the tires. I’m going to school for nursing, and luckily I’ve been able to take online classes for my prerequisites. In January, I’m hoping to be accepted to a program. I will need a reliable vehicle to get me to school and work. I currently work full time in an ER as a CNA and have considered getting a second job to help with the cost of the car. Not having a car has made this very difficult to do and the hospital will not allow overtime at this time. I’m only asking for $5,000. I’m upside down on the car currently and owe more than it is worth. I have reached out to my bank about getting a loan, but with no collateral that is a no go. My paychecks cover bills and I live paycheck to paycheck like most college students. Anything will help, I’m a little desperate.

It’s 2018, im in school for something I love, I bought myself a nice used truck (2004 explorer) life couldn’t be any better. I was on cloud nine. I guess I was having too good of a time with my life because the universe hit me upside the head.

While working a seasonal job at the outlet mall early February I got a call from the mall security that a delivery driver backed into my truck and ruined my rear bumper. They couldn’t (or maybe wouldn’t) tell me who the driver was, or for what store because the mall had no cameras.

“I can fix this” I said to myself, and so I did. With white tape. 😥 I didn’t want to call my insurance amd have my rates go up. I also didn’t want to worry my parents, so tape did tje job. An ugly job, but tje bumper wasn’t going anywhere.😂

I’m a server, so my hours (can be wonky.)

It’s May! The sun is out, the flowers are blooming, people are drinking and enjoying their life, I forgot all about my car and the tape holding it up. I couldn’t be knocked sown from my cloud…or so i thought.

Come mid May, it’s Friday night and I’m at work, I close up at around 3am Saturday morning. I get home tired and realize the only parking available is on the side street, about four houses down. No big deal. I’ve parked further before.  I’m getting ready for bed, so close to laying my head down, so SO very close when I hear a crash and a screech. I got nosy and decided to investigate the sound. I stick my head out the closest window, a car speeds by blowing the stop sign in front of my house. “He probably has to poop” I think to myself as I chuckle. Out of the corner of my eye I see my car in the middle of the street!! I go and investigate, someone hit my baby and ran. 😭😭 I called the police but all they could do was take a statement. They towed my car, cost me $250.

The truck needed a new transmission, and the front axle replaced, great.

The same day, at around noon I call my insurance and explain everything. The woman on the other line informs me in a very quiet voice that the insurance wasn’t going to cover much. Maybe $200, and my rates were going to to up..What!! I’m in a pickle now. I thank her for her honesty and hang up. Now Broken hearted and without a car.

I’ve been relying on people for rides, but that never ends well. I’m going to be forced to take a semester off of school in order to pay for the damages.

If you’re reading this and you can help me, please please do. I’ll love you forever. ❤❤❤

I’m $2,000 in the gutter. 😥

This is a long shot I know, but We are kind of desperate at this point.

My husband and I have been married for 8 years and are in our late 20’s. We have 1 child and work hard for what we have.

We go through ups and downs like everyone, but I know we are blessed more than others in certain areas. Having only 1 income though we cannot seem to save any money for a second vehicle or really much else to be honest. So yesterday when the car started making funny noises on the way home from picking my husband up from work we were praying it wasn’t something major. ($$$)

My husband took it in today and they said it was the wheel barrings and it’d be 400.00 to fix and I know that doesn’t sound like much to some people, but it’s a lot for us. Since my husband is a painters assistant the work isn’t always steady depending on what his boss has scheduled so every week the pay is different.

He is hoping to be able to make it to work, but we don’t really know. Between rent and bills I don’t know where the car expenses will come in. It’s just very stressful and embarrassing, but I know everyone is going through something.

If my family could receive a little bit of help from this though then I guess it’ll be worth it. Thank you

Hello my wife and I have always tired to be on our own and make it our self’s but about a month ago our 2006 Dodge Grand caravan decided to lay down on us the motor blew up her and i work at the same place at wabash we are having a hard time getting back and fourth to work she might have to quit .. but sometimes when I can’t find a ride I have to walk to work I live 11 miles from my job I can’t ask her to walk as well we have been looking at used vehicle and have found a mozida b_300 truck 2003 model extended cab would be the right fit for our family.. the down payment they want is $1800 it was 2 grand but I’ve talked him down a couple hundred bucks we have 3 children witch one is autistic and requires special care and certain therapy that we have to pay for out of pocket so it would be nearly impossible for us to save $1800 we could easily make the payment every month if we could just get the down payment. If someone would be willing to help us with this much needed down payment it would be such a blessing and also we need that truck to take our autistic son to his very much needed therapy appointments witch in the last month since our motor blew up we have had to miss a couple sessions it breaks my heart to tell my son we can’t go see his doc doc as he calls her because we don’t have a ride and then to see how sad he looks it gets to me.

He loves going to his sessions and they really help him . So anyone out there that wants to help my PayPal account is PayPal.me/michaelrissa2015 I’ll continue to walk the 11 miles to work everyday if I have too but some days I can come up with a ride but no one wants to come get me way out in the country so I’ll walk if I have too just last week alone I walked to work 4 out of the 6 days I worked and all 4 days I walked home after the 10 hour shift was over I have to clock in by 5:58 a.m and I work until 4:30 every evening on days I have to walk I have to get up at 1:00 a.m and leave by no later then 1:45 a.m and I usually get to work about 15 min before I have to clock in when I get off at 4:30 if no one is going towards my way and I have to walk home I usually don’t get in till 8:00 or 9:00 at night depending on how many breaks I have to take but I have to do it cuz I can’t lose my job if I did then we would lose everything it has took us 10 years to build so would someone please help me with the down payment portion of the truck I’ve got picked out I’m not asking for anyone to bye me a vehicle out right I just need help with the down payment where I can drive it off the lot we would handle the monthly payments from there.. once again our PayPal account is PayPal.me/michaelrissa2015 and the down payment would be $1800. As important as my job is my sons therapy sessions is more important our other two kids witch are normal they also have things there involved in that we hadn’t been able to get them too.. if someone would please help us I promise as soon as I’m able someway I’d pay it forward even if down the rode when extra money was around I get our van fixed and just give it to a family in need for free and not ask them for any money for it .. I hope God will put it on someone’s heart to assist us in making this down payment. Your kindness would not go unnoticed the pic below is my wife and autistic son p.s I hope my feet can hold up a little bit longer walking 22 miles a day round trip is not an easy task to make yourself do it would be as easy to call into work and miss but when I decide to get married and decided I was bringing kids into this world I had an obligation to care and raise them to the best of my ability and do my absolute very best to make sure they always had everything they needed to live a healthy and productive life also I made a vow to my wife to love honer protect and take care of her no matter what so if that means I have to walk 22 miles to earn a paycheck so I know my family will have a place to lay there head at night and know there will be a hot meal for my youngens to eat then by golly I’d walk 22 miles 7 days a week if that’s what it took.. I won’t be the guy who let his family down even tho I have wore the most painful blisters on my heels and feet I still get up and take off walking.. someone please help us my wife and I our parents are both gone I’m the only child my wife does have a half sister but she is not around so all we have is each other and have to do what we have too to survive in this life I just hope someone has the means to help us make the down payment

thank you for your time and your willingness to at least read my story .. may God bless everyone and may God bless our world .

Hi my name is Angie… I joined the service after a long time dreaming to be in the army. While I was in I got hurt and they could not find what was wrong until recently. I was discharged two weeks ago and did not know the army sends you home they stop all pay. I still have bills.  I have to get my car out the shop my son is going to his first prom ever 8th grade and he wants this slim flower pink and white blazer with loafers to match.  I have lights to pay food to put in the house a teenage boy can eat you out of a home and i don’t get assistance and I am a single mother. I do still have my job at Wal-Mart but cannot go back until I’m cleared by the Veterans office which I just was able to put my claim in .. Although I put the claim in I don’t know how long it will take to get accepted or how many doctor visits it will take to tell me I’m able to stand more than 15 minutes to be able to go back to work. I need help right away my sons prom is the 30th and I need my car to be able to go to my appointments to get cleared…I’m real if you have any doubts you can email or call me just ask I can show you my paperwork

Hi. I’m currently trying to get a truck. I work two jobs 60 hours a week. I am 19. My car broke down a few weeks ago. I have been having trouble getting back and forth to work now. Since I am on my own I thought it would be best to get a truck so I could haul furniture or anything if needed. I have been to several places and no one will finance me for $1000 down. That is all I have. I have been on my own since I was 16 and have started to build my life. Please any amount helps. I really need a truck soon so I can get back and forth to work. All I need is $5000 for the down payment. Any thing will help. Thank you

It is said that desperate times call for desperate measures….so I thought I’d give this a shot.  I will not go into long detail with my woes because I know that there are people in this world out there much worse off than myself.  I am only hoping there are people out there willing to help out a girl in need.  To put it in a nutshell, I’m out of options.  I recently lost my job of 2+ years due to the company closing down.  Yes, I do receive unemployment, but it is minimal.  A couple of months ago on a whim, my boyfriend and I found a deal on a “his and hers” set of cars that was such a steal….we had to jump on it!!  I turned around and sold my car the SAME DAY (yes, the same day) I paid for the new car.  I owe nothing on it.  It was such a quick purchase, we were not diligent and did not get the cars checked out first.  Needless to say, for reasons I am not clear on, my boyfriend threw me and my cat out of his house on a whim.  It came from nowhere and I am still trying to wrap my head around all that has happened.  All my things are still there and I am fortunate enough to have a good friend allowing me and my cat to stay with her about 58 miles from where I was living.  As I was parking my car in her driveway, it seemed to be leaking something.  Thought maybe oil or something but felt it would be best to have it checked out.  Took it to an incredibly great mechanic that was recommended  to me that also has great Yelp reviews, and  after the no cost diagnostic was done, it turns out that I have a cracked radiator that is leaking coolant.  The cost to fix it is $825 and unfortunately, I just do not have any extra money to pay for the repair.  If I drive it, I run the risk of the engine seizing.  I need my car to get back on my feet and get myself back to work.  I pay all my bills and pride myself on being self sufficient.  I just unfortunately do not have the extra money to pay for the repair.  I need my car to get back to work.  I am asking for the kindness of strangers to help me get my car back on the road so I can pick up the pieces and move forward.  I have always been one to “pay it forward” and I am hoping someone will do the same for me.  Thank you for your time!!

I have never been the one to ask for a handout. Even my parents, I help them. They don’t help me. They never have. I even co-signed for a car for my mom and when she lost her license and job I gave her my entire savings for college… almost $10,000 to pay off the car loan she had. Now years later, I am married with a beautiful daughter and a home, but am struggling to catch up on bills with my husbands income is 1/3 of what it used to be. We wanted more than anything to give our daughter the life we never had (we both grew up on welfare and even homeless at times) and are devastated that we are now in the position that we are in. We’re $1500 behind on car payments alone and barely make it where our electricity is kept on. Our almost 3 year old is started to understand more and sees my husband and I struggle and stressed. That’s everything we didn’t want her to experience. We’re in about $8,000-10,000 in debt and behind and I can’t help but get so upset that had I not helped others in the past I wouldn’t be where I am right now. I couldn’t even afford a wedding (we got married at the courthouse just legally and went out to lunch afterwards). Now living in flint I even worry about human trafficking, and crime in our area. I don’t know what to do and have no one to help us. I’ve never wanted to resort to asking for help but here I am, with nowhere else to turn. I’m just praying for a small miracle at this point. My anxiety is crippling everyday especially when things happen like my car completely breaking down while I owe money on it…. now I can’t get to a job to make money which is a double whammy and puts us in such a difficult position, so really anything helps even if I could just pay one bill I just don’t know what to do.

Today, my car broke down. Everything was going okay in my life. I was holding it together. Not progressing, but not stagnant or paused like I was for the last two years of my life.

I finally saved up enough money to buy the perfect urn for my sister this past weekend. In two weeks, it will be two years since she passed. She was absolute light. We barely had enough to cremate her. We had to beg the funeral director to see her, against his wishes because she was not dolled up. We begged and got 20 minutes. 20 minutes of her laying inside of cardboard.

When I finally had enough money for a cheaper urn, every urn we came across was so dark. And cold. I hated to look at them. So I found one that made me feel her life when I looked at it again. My mom was in tears when she came into her room and found it. The cardboard box she had been kept in, finally empty. She has spent two years and 20 minutes inside of cardboard.

$600. It took me two years.

I was about to drive to work when my tires wouldn’t steer. They just sunk. I feel like I sunk down with them. Like a part of me is still down there.

$1400. I sunk when I saw it.

Why is this life so difficult to carry on in like everybody else? My first thought was to return the urn. How horrible of a thought. How has life made me think this way? That returning my sister’s ashes to cardboard would be alright to do because I will be paying less than half of the repairs to a stupid vehicle… a vehicle. My sister.

And I won’t even be able to drive my car even then. Two years… it will take me four. It will take me 6 just to get her back into something dignifiable.

I will take anything. Anything to avoid taking her back out.. please..

Hello,  and thank you to anyone willing to read this . I truly appreciate it.  I have been going through a really hard time for a few years,  but I feel like things will be getting even worse if I don’t get help soon.  I was homeless a few years ago , and do not want to end up homeless again .

I suffer from a severe anxiety disorder,  along with panic disorder,  major depression,  complex PTSD , Borderline Personality Disorder , and Chronic Pain . I have not been able to work since 2005 after a car accident. My husband supports me and my two children . It is a struggle, to say the least.

Thankfully , with God’s help,  we are able to afford food , and personal hygeine items , and pay the minimum bills . We are in a lot of debt we cannot even begin to pay . I wish there was a way I could find a way to make money from home,  but do not have the skills to do so , and because of the amount of pain I am in each day,  along with the symptoms I experience from my mental illnesses , I am unable to work outside of the home.

I was on disability for a while,  but then they cut me off because they said my husband made $10 too much . I pray night and day for God to send my husband a better paying job , or that he will get promoted . I beg God for a financial miracle to help us.

Though I could use help with a number of things,  what is most concerning to me is my situation with my car.  It needs a tune-up,  and other maintenance we haven’t been able to afford for the past 5 years.  I would also like to get my husband’s truck fixed , which has been broken down for about a year.  To be able to fix up both of our vehicles , and actually have reliable transportation would be life changing . It would ease so much stress off of my husband and I.

My husband works so hard to support us , but also has child support to pay,  and we can never seem to get ahead.  Knowing that our car could break down at any moment,  and we have no money to fix it leads me to worry then that my husband will end up losing his job,  and we will be homeless again.  I am terrified of that happening.

I am requesting altogether $1,200 for the repairs of both vehicles . They both need a lot of work , and maybe I’d be better off purchasing a new vehicle,  but I can’t afford that , or all of the fees that go along with it.

If you could find it in your heart, and if you are able to help my family and I,  I would be so very grateful . Thanks so much, and God bless you.

My family and I are asking you to PLEASE help us? We recently moved back to our home state, Iowa from Michigan. We moved to michigan with only a U-Haul and our possessions in 2015. My fiance and I lost our son 9 days before his first birthday in August, 2013 due to sids. It was and still is the hardest most painful thing we have ever gone through, our life turned what seemed to be insane. I was prescribed several medications due to being diagnosed with, Severe depression, anxiety and PTSD. All While still trying to keep it together for our 7 year old daughter. It seemed like maybe a change and less memories would maybe help. So we packed up and moved. Shortly after being in Michigan, starting new jobs, after a couple weeks we were able to go to a “buy here, pay here” car dealership that offered to take payments on the initial “down-payment” and offering to finance us through their in house program for individuals trying to build their credit, our monthly payment was $400.00 a month, and mandatory full coverage automobile insurance. Our monthly car payment and insurance combined was $720.00 a month. While also trying to keep up with rent, utilities, food, and everyday needs. After 2 and a half years and paying off nearly half of our vehicle, we decided the cost of living in Northern Michigan versus Iowa is huge. January 19th we moved. After losing our home. We could no longer afford. 4 weeks ago the dealership informed us, we must “Reside” in michigan with our car until the vehicle is payed off. 9 days ago they came from michigan and “re-poed” our only vehicle. Our only source of transportation. Our only way to our jobs. We are asking for help to buy a cheap but running vehicle that will get us to the grocery store, work and home. Please?

My car broke down on the Interstate on Monday when I was returning home from work.  I work as a custodian at a major apparel company.  I recently fired for bankruptcy because I had trouble paying my bills.  I am 66 years old and have worked hard all my life.  My financial troubles began when I was laid off my job back in August.  I got downsized.  Since then, I’ve found other work but the job I have does not pay nearly as much as the one that I used to have.

I do not have any savings and I cannot afford to pay to get my car fixed.  I don’t know how much it will cost to get it fixed.  But I had similar problems with this car before, and it cost over $500.

I am afraid I will lose my job if I cannot make it to work.  I cannot go to the grocery store to buy food.  I am afraid I will be evicted from my apartment if I can’t pay the rent.

Someone please help me get the necessary funds to get my car repaired.  I believe in God and I have faith that something good will happen to me.  I have struggled for so long.  I just need a break.

I have never done anything like this before.  Even though I am somewhat ashamed for having to beg strangers for money, I am so desperate that I don’t know what else to do.

Please help…
