Begging Money

Financial Hardship Help

We often hear “I need money now” for rent, food or bills – not an easy situation to be in. See our advice below.

Emergency Rental, Food, and Bills Assistance Programs

How to get help with rent?

At times, many families find themselves homeless, or unable to continue to occupy the premises of their choice. This may be due to fire, accident, storms or many other causes, but often it is merely a problem in paying the rent. Illness that forces a breadwinner to stay home, or loss of a job; any and all of these conditions can put a family in need of temporary assistance to tide itself over until the members of the family find themselves again in a position to pay their own rent without the need of subsidising or other rental assistance.

Agencies have been set up in many parts of the country to help in this regard. Non-profit organizations, these charities, such as The Salvation Army, as well as some governmental agencies are often able to offer emergency rental assistance for families who are being evicted by a landlord, or who simply have no way to pay their rent at the moment. Realizing that landlords, despite the old cartoon imagery of a rich greedy person feeding off the work of renters, the vast majority of landlords are not really making a profit at all on the current tenant. This is only a stopgap so that the landlord may pay the monthly house payments in the hope of some future profit if housing increases in value some years later. If the tenant can’t pay the rent, the landlord may soon find himself in the same position with regard to the lender. Lenders do not want to hear sad stories.

Although these different programs for rental assistance may be available, much depends upon the funding at the moment. Some programs quickly run out of money and are simply unable at the moment to provide further help to persons in need of assistance.

The vast majority of families in need of temporary rental assistance are those to be found in the low-income range; seniors, disable persons and children are among those most often affected. Others too, faced at one point or another with a temporary emergency may qualify for assistance in these cases.

In most cases, those in need of longer-term assistance, persons who have not been gainfully employed for a considerable length of time with not prospects for the immediate future may not qualify for rental assistance under these temporary emergency programs.

Those more likely to receive aid are persons who are able to convince interviewers of their willingness to do what is necessary to get back on their feet along with the ability to do so. Since emergency funding is considered a short-term “fix” for a crisis situation, the grants may be only issued for a few days, perhaps to defray the cost of a motel room, pending the applicant’s ability to find other lodgings.

Therefore it is important, in most similar cases, for the applicant to show the interviewer the imminent possibility to become self-sufficient.

Most non-profit agencies as well as other agencies attempt to work closely with rental assistance applicants to help them with any additional support as needed depending upon each applicant’s situation. Often applicants are further given counseling and referrals to other agencies that may be more helpful to an applicant.

In such cases, any additional services rendered are free to the applicant in crisis. This may include lack of employment and such other problems that may arise such as medical emergencies. Most agencies participate in these endeavors as well as teaching applicants the processes involved in applying for governmental programs, immediate rehousing and how to apply for Section 8 vouchers as well as information about low income housing, and assistance in paying the security deposits that are almost universally demanded by today’s rental market.

Since the goal of all similar agencies to to render aid to persons in immediate need of emergency housing and other crisis situations, the funds issued to applicants for rent or other necessities is only meant to allow the applicant extra time to deal with the emergency. However, at the same time, applicants will normally be provided with support in the long term to guard against similar future emergencies.

If you have an eviction notice or expect to be unable to pay the rent in the immediate future, or even realize that you need to find less expensive living quarters, now is the time to apply for assistance. Often with early application, money may be available to catch up unpaid rent as well as other options that may be explained to you.

Assistance may also be available to help with the security deposit, the initial rents and even moving costs. In some cities non-profit agencies may offer other emergency assistance to those in crisis. These funds are normally paid out on a one-time basis. Depending upon the location, resources that may be in place for housing crisis families can be wide-ranging.

Potential applicants are advised to find the telephone numbers as well as any other information available to them and educate themselves about the different programs that may be able to help with emergency assistance.

Not only non-profit private agencies, but many governmental agencies, are able to provide interim assistance, depending on the locality. Massachusetts has a program called RAFT, while in Texas a rental assistance program called TDHCA is available. Florida has a similar program called EFAHP and in Connecticut their program is called RAP. Many other government programs around the country also offer assistance to pay rent or a portion of overdue rent in their ongoing efforts to reduce the growing threat of homelessness in their particular communities.

Another program, called the Federal Stimulus Program is a little-known program through which our federal government provides billions of dollars across the nation to provide rental assistance for qualified applicants. These funds have become invaluable to families that find it increasingly difficult to keep up with the rising costs of rent and other housing needs.

HUD the Housing and Urban Development, agency works throughout the country as well. A number of families approaching two million are able to use this program, a program that can not only help those in need to pay their rent and/or security deposits, but HUD can issue vouchers to provide temporary housing as well as providing assistance to senior citizens and the disabled to keep up with overdue rental payments.

These programs not only offer grants to help pay rent, but the government Rent Voucher Program aids applicants to seek housing in the privately owned housing market.

These agencies can, generally, offer legal advice to those facing eviction. Every year millions of people receive free legal advice and assistance to educate them with the eviction process and their rights as well as responsibilities. The government provides funded Legal Services Corp. which provides attorneys who may mediate a solution between landlord and tenants in addition to advising tenants of their rights as well as help them apply for Section 8 or other assistance and another positive aid they offer is help and counseling on housing discrimination.

Counseling may also be provided to help applicants apply for government and/or private grants. Money is available for many of these crisis situations.

It is the goal of these agencies to prevent evictions wherever possible. The federal government as well as the many non-profit private agencies strive wherever possible to help applicants remain in their current quarters without the fear of being summarily evicted. Often these agencies are able not only to prevent evictions, but subsequent lawsuits that may be brought against a tenant. Alternatively, the agency may be able to find more suitable and affordable housing for an applicant facing eviction.

Many churches too offer funds that can help those in short-term financial difficulties. United Way and The Salvation Army are only two of the better-known charitable institutions that may be able to offer help when needed. Generally they give priority to those living in apartments and facing short-term financial crises.

A good number of other national and local charities are ready to help with the expenses of rent and other essential needs as well as providing case management and many other social services. No all charities have ready money all the time, but even those may be able to help by helping an applicant with information about other resources and assistance in applying for free grants to pay overdue rent.

Other agencies that often provide help might be, for example, Catholic Charities, Social Service Offices, United Way, the American Red Cross, the Legal Aid Society and as mentioned earlier, The Salvation Army. Aside from these examples there exist many other emergency aid agencies for those who are able to become informed.

While most of these programs provide only short-term emergency aid, they are designed for the most part to tide a family over until a longer-term solution becomes available. Often these same agencies will be able to direct qualified applicants to resources that may assist them in finding an apartment or house for more permanent security.

It is important however, during these times of crisis, to keep in touch with creditors and the applicant’s current landlord so they understand what you are doing and what you expect to accomplishment. It is important that the applicant be extremely honest with everyone about the situation and it may sometimes be possible to have monthly payments temporarily lowered, or even be allowed to skip a monthly rental payment. Other plans may be devised and put into place to avoid being evicted.

It is well-understood that not only landlords but other creditors too are much more willing to cooperate with persons who are up-front with them, honest in their discussions and show a willingness to cooperate and do whatever they can to improve with situations.

How to get help with bills?

Ask The Energy Company

if energy bills are the source of the hardship, then the energy providers’ own in-house programs are often the quickest way to help rearrange and meet repayments.

LIHEAP: Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program

This national program’s focus is on subsidies for repairs, weatherproofing and utility bills that families cannot afford to pay.

LIHEAP covers any energy related home repairs for low-icome families, including seasonal expenses like air cooling systems and winter heating bills. The local LIHEAP office is the first point of contact for those in need of energy or utility assistance. Eligibility varies from state to state.

WAP: Weatherization Assistance Program

The WAP is a federal grant organized by the Department of Energy that helps needy families improve their homes’ energy efficiency, and has assisted over 7 million households across many states, territories and Native American tribes since its inception in 1976.

According to the DOE guidelines, a household with anyone over 60 is eligible for the WAP, as are legally recognized disabled people. Most states make families with children eligible, and the website for the WAPTAC (Weatherization Assistance Program Technical Assistance Center) can advise others if the grants are available in their area, and whether they qualify.

LifeLine Assistance: Free Cell Phones

Americans in need of a cell phone plan but without the means to maintain one can get assistance from LifeLine Assistance‘s free phone program. This is indeed a lifeline as daily life and business in particular is practically impossible without a mobile phone.

LLA is an FCC mandated scheme offering a free cell phone with at least 250 monthly minutes included. It’s available in the 49 states, Washington DC and Puerto Rico, and typically requires a household income below 135% of Federal Poverty guidelines. For some states it is below 150%. Eligibility varies across participating states, with slightly different rules around qualifying income.

Other sources of help are available at state government level, or many national and local non-profit and charity organizations, and the energy companies themselves.

How to get Food For Free?

It doesn’t always require money to eat, and there are many ways to gain free food without adding to your debts or joining the 10% of Americans who have resorted to shoplifting. Ask people you know, or traders and restaurant and store owners.

Above all it’s important to explain why you are asking for food: because you can’t afford to eat. And not to be critical about what food you eat. Without a certain amount of money, there is no longer the choice of what to eat. So meat may become harder to get or if meat’s all that’s on offer and you are a vegetarian, it’s best to accept it with thanks.

Grow Your Own, Share With The Community

The most sustainable – and satisfying – way to provide free food for yourself is to grow it, and you can start with just seeds if you live in the country or with just a small space in the city. Guerrilla gardening is an interesting urban option, more organised community gardens and allotments can share space and expertise for growing, and seed swapping communities among gardeners are a good source of materials and encouragement.

Ask A Farmer

Out in the sticks there won’t be the option of stores and restaurants as a source of food, but ask any farmer and there’ll be some left on the fields that they didn’t or can’t sell. Many will let you pick these leftovers.

Food Banks

A rapidly growing movement in the United Kingdom and US is the organized and charitable distribution of food to those who can’t afford it. Most of the food is donated, and food banks are one of the easiest ways to obtain some nutritious food. Many banks have conditions for who they can give food to, but there is no need to be ashamed about visiting one.

Links to Food Banks in various countries

United States /United Kingdom /Austalia /Canada /Ireland /New Zealand /South Africa

Offers and coupons

Online and direct from the stores, many coupons are available to promote new products. And companies across the United States send out free samples of new products. They’re unlikely to provide a healthy, balanced diet on their own but could supplement free food from other sources.

Waste Food

In an affluent country there is an abundance of unsold or waste food, and a little social interaction and resourcefulness can unlock access to a surprising amount of it.

Ask at the market

Often around closing time, stall holders will sell off any remaining stock for next to nothing, and it’s always worth telling them you have no money and asking if they’ll give you something for free. You can often pick up some fruit or salad, and if they can’t offer anything, thank them anyway and ask at another stall.

Free Supermarket Food

Ask at the big stores and you’ll be too far down the chain of command: “My boss doesn’t allow us to do that” will be the usual answer. So smaller supermarkets and neighborhood stores are a better option, where you can talk to that boss. You may find warmth and generosity among Muslims and immigrants to the West who run stores.

Restaurant Leftovers

It requires some patience, a little nerve and a bit of practice, but it’s possible to get free, professionally prepared food, even a table to sit and eat it at. Restaurant districts in cities are obviously the best place to try this, and expect a success rate around 5%, so it requires persistence, but will sharpen your bargaining skills, and who knows where else that could lead?

Turn up at a restaurant after the busiest time but not too late, and explain that you have no money and ask if they have some left overs in the kitchen. It can help to have a container such as a plastic box ready in case they do have something, and if they’re friendly and can’t offer anything the first time, maybe they can put something aside the next day.

Searching and Foraging

It grows on trees, on the ground and some seasons there’ll be abundant fruit and tasty plants such as dandelions or chickweed. Even cities can produce some tasty wild food, and anyone near downtown Seattle has access to America’s first Food Forest in a major city.

Dumpster Diving

Growing media coverage of the colossal food wastage at supermarkets and restaurants has made it much less weird, and more popular, to search through the dumpsters in search of some quality food to turn into a meal.

In Extreme Dire Emergency

Hi… I am in a very extreme emergency due to trusting someone. I have never had to do this in asking anyone for anything but I am out of options and need help ASAP!!!

I am 76 years old and a veteran and about to be evicted from my place and I hope that will not happen. I have a dog and a cat and I feed about 15 feral cats and if I get evicted I am sure the feral cats will be killed and I sure do not want that to happen. I find myself in a financial jam due to my own stupidity of trusting someone on their word. At 76 one would think you would know better then to trust someone who you knew was not always honest, but I am a sucker for a good story. The person screwed me out of few thousand dollars and this really cost me. I am 3 months behind on rent and the landlord has already filed eviction papers on me, however if I can raise the total amount I owe him I will be able to stay in my place. I have offered my landlord partial payments but he refused to accept any money from me unless I have all of it, including late payments which the total comes to $2965.00 I need financial help or a place to stay that will accept pets.

I have lived in the same place for over 4 years and I really do not want to move and I am not sure I would have enough money to even move and then I have the problem with some landlords not wanting a tenant with a dog and a cat.

I still work driving with uber and doing some selling online and if I get evicted I will possibly be homeless and then not be able to earn a living I do not want to lose my dog or my cat but where would I put them how would I be able to drive with uber, this whole thing has become a nightmare for me. If anyone can donate any amount would be greatly appreciated and I will gladly pay it forward in the near future.

Even my neighbors do not want me to move, however they are not financially able to help me.  I have posted a picture of me and my dog it is from a few years back and one of my cat.

I do hope I am able to get the help I need and I am open to any and all advise or suggestions from anyone who may have been in the same situation.

I need the community’s help on this, it has been a real nightmare and not able to eat or sleep at all. I think I am only getting about 3 hours sleep a night the past 2 weeks.

I need help to fix unfortunate accident, so i could keep working on my new life.

Hello Everyone!

I would like to thank all of you who read my post, especially if you will help me to fix this problem I got into. My name is Andras and I am currently unemployed, but this post is not about to ask money for rent or bills. I have been working several jobs in my life, but those jobs were pretty bad, and poorly payed. These jobs were like kitchen porter, or factory jobs. So you see awful jobs, but money is needed all the time and couldn’t find any better.

Now I am going to get to the point after this small introduction.
While I was working in these fields I was always thinking about to figure out a better job, that pays better, and I can be my own boss. So after I lost my job I dedicated myself to learn the skills that are required for my new life.

You see I have always been around computers and I love challenges, and I got into web design, and front end web development. Yet I’m studying these skills, so I can’t make money out of it, but I am working hard and dedicated, excited also.
Now about my problem. To learn and work as a front end developer I need a stable PC, which I had, but unfortunately my 7 year old PC broke. Since I don’t have any job, and in my region nearly impossible to find one, I can’t afford to build a new configuration on my own.
So the reason I am here is to ask for anyone who are able to help me out to build my own modern yet no too expensive PC for study and work.
I was looking for “cheap” hardware but also stable ones that would serve me for several years.
What I have learned while studying front end development is that a second monitor is a huge help. So because of that the price is a little bit higher that I am comfortable to ask for but it really is a huge help.
The price for the PC I would like to build is $1200.

I know this is a lot to ask for but I really need it to start my new life.
Any help is a big step forward, so I would like to thank you again if you read through all my post. Have a great day everyone!

URGENT! They took all of my family’s money!!

Earlier this evening I found that my bank account had been frozen and through live chat I was informed only of a levy against the account. They would not give any more information than this and I can’t understand why or who would have had the means to have my account frozen. There wasn’t even any warning! We currently have no money, not even a few dollars cash, and my check is scheduled to be deposited into the account with the levy against it. Which means we could continue to have no money for at least the next two weeks, as it is so close to payday and the bank will do nothing to assist us.

I don’t know who is taking my family’s money or what the reason for it is. I can’t even hire a lawyer to contest this as there is not one in my area for this sort of thing and I have no money to meet with one elsewhere… Not that I could pay them anyway. I don’t even have gas money to get to work.

This could very well cost me my job. I’ve already been looking for another one in my area for months as we desperately needed the supplemental income. I’ve had my hours cut as business is slow and I am all out of PTO to cover it.

My search for work has not been going well. And now with this… there doesn’t seem to be anything I can do.

I hate the idea of begging for money. I’ve been working since I was twelve years old. But I have a daughter and several animals to support! I’m a single mother and truly have nowhere else to turn.

We’re already behind on our rent because of a mixup where we were greatly overcharged for a purchase. Other bills like electric, gas, and water are coming up soon as well. We have very little groceries, this check was meant to be used for that in addition to the bills… I’d even planned on having just enough money to see finally see a doctor. I’ve been putting off the need for almost a year due to finances, as the copay alone is too much to handle, but that is far beyond unlikely at this point. Everything is hitting at once and we are drowning.

We could very well end up without a place to live. I don’t have much I can sell and what I do have will not fetch much on eBay… I don’t even have the money to ship them at this point!

We can’t even celebrate my daughter’s birthday next Sunday… or mine a few days after. She and I usually do something special as a sort of joint birthday, but with the way things are going we’ll be lucky to even have a meal by then.

The greatest gift in the world for us both would be a helping hand. So if anyone has ANYTHING that they can spare, anything at all, please, please help us.

Donate here if you can spare it!

Credit card terror

When I turned 18, I got my self a credit card so my mom would save 15% off her purchase of a suit case for my dad to visit his dad that was dying of cancer, and has since passed away. Doing a good deed felt good at the time cause the suit cases were expensive. Years later I regret the choice to use the credit card. Once I opened the credit card things just went spiraling down. My mom constantly borrowed money from me for bills, which I didn’t mind untill I never got paid back.  I now have 7000 dollars in debt and I’m working on a twelve month plan to get it down. I divided my debt to see how much I had to pay every month to get the debt down in 1 year and have been doing that for the past two months without touching my credit card, I haven’t even started paying on my college fees yet and am struggling to stay above the water every day of my life. Me and my boyfriend of 4 years were going to move out this month but he lost his job, so we just can’t. I’m asking for 7,000 to help me pay off my debt and be able to get some of this stress off my shoulders quicker. I’d love to move out into my own home and start a family. Thank you,

Love shaila

Lost my job and struggling to keep up with the bills.

First I would like to thank everyone who has taken the time to read my post. I worked for a mental health counseling company for the last two years. During this time, unknown to me, the company was going under. I was one of only 4 employees in the company. About a year ago, my boss informed me that the company was unable to bill clients insurance and that they were unable to pay me. I told them that I understood and we worked out a deal that when insurance payments came in, that they would pay. For about 4 months this worked out very well. Once a month they would give me as much as they could. Sometimes that was only $400, but at least I was getting something. During this time, to keep myself afloat, I started using my credit cards very often. I would buy food, gas, and extracurricular activities for my son on my credit cards.

Then suddenly the company was unable to pay me at all. I went to my boss and asked what I could do to assist them with getting back on track. My boss asked if I would take over billing as an additional part of my job. I agreed, but after several months, my boss had not given me the rights to the billing accounts. In January 2018, I decided that I could not work for free anymore. The company owed me $9,000 at the end of 2017. My boss came to me and asked if I would stay a little longer and that they were getting a loan to pay me back. Due to the nature of my profession, I could not just walk away from my clients. I agreed to stay a little longer until they paid me in full. They never received the loan to pay back what I was owed.

April of this year, I was finally done with the company. They still had not paid me from last year and they were currently $7,000 behind this year. I started to do some research on why the company wasn’t getting paid by the insurance companies and I found out that the company wasn’t operating legally anymore and were unable to bill for their services. After speaking with a lawyer, there wasn’t much I could do because the company was completely broke and the owners themselves were broke. I was told I could sue, but I would probably never see any money that was owed to me.

I am currently applying for jobs, but unfortunately have not been hired as of yet. The bills are starting to back up and my credit cards are running very low on availability. I am asking for any assistance that you could give. It would mean the world to me to get my life back together.

Sincerely,

Levi

Short term help for long term plans

I never thought I’d be here doing something like this, but I suppose no one ever thinks it would come to this.  I recently was working as a delivery guy for a restaurant that sadly went up in flames.  Everything was lost, and one person even lost their life in an apartment above the restaurant.  The entire situation is just heart breaking.  Having lost the job due to this I was put in a tough situation.  I started to look for other work but haven’t come across much.  In the long run those jobs aren’t what I truly would like to be doing anyway, so I’ve made a decision to finally pursue my dreams.  I am setting out on an adventure to become a writer.  I’ve begun to research freelance jobs and look into any further education I can receive to help me achieve this goal.  There is one thing standing in my way and that is money.  Most programs or freelance job listing sites are not free, or require payment to make your account a priority.  I was hoping to receive a little help with that process but this isn’t the only reason I am here today.

Having lost my job due the uncontrollable circumstances I was put in a position where paying the bills has become tight.  I’ve always been to prideful in the past to look for help but it’s gotten to the point where I have no choice.  Any little bit can help, and would be tremendously appreciated but I also understand if you can’t.  I was hoping to raise in the range of $1,500 in order to cover my bills, expenses for my pets, and fees towards pursuing my new career.  I know that is a lot to ask for but if I were to even come close to that goal I would be covered for 2 months while pursuing and hopefully landing new jobs each day.  Anything that is passed along to me I will pledge to pay forward to the next person in need, because I know the struggle of day to day life and hope to be in a position some day soon to reach back out and help those less fortunate just like I hope someone will help do for me in my time of need.  So in conclusion, please consider helping out if possible, and know it is all going to bettering a life and lives around me. Thank you

What I use to make a living got stolen

Hello everyone  my name is Kyle the reason that brings me here is that I’m a tattoo artist that’s how I make my living. I have never done anything like this asking for help because I have always worked but I got put into a desperate situation. Here what happened my sister lives in mesa Arizona and I live in Tucson Arizona we are only 2 hours from each other. So anyway  she had to have back surgery so she asked if I could come for a few day and help with my nephew just Intel her husband gets home from work he’s a truck driver. Of course I’m going to go help my little sister plus me and my girlfriend made it kinda like a mini getaway. So we packed up and went. While I was gone my roommate had a party even after I told him not to when I found out because another friend of mine ask me of I knew what was going on. But me and my girlfriend had a good time at my sister’s helping her and hanging out with my nephew. But we did have to come home and guess what I get home to? My tv plantation 4 laptop and even some of my close are all gone but most important all of my tattoo equipment is also gone. I tried to find out who and how many  people where at this party no one is saying a thing. I called the cop and the only thing they did was take a police report and statement. My sister is the only family I have and I can’t ask her for help because she is barely getting by also.

So if there are some kind hearted people out there who can help someone who wants to work  just doesn’t have what he needs to. I would appreciate greatly it would me the world to me and ill do what I can to pay it forward. Thank you for your time

 

Open Source Developer in need of new hardware for Remote /Telecommute Job

I’ve been searching remote jobs for a long time and I currently devote a lot of time contributing code to the open source community. One thing that it doesn’t provide is financial stability.  I have 20+ years Linux Admin / Software Development experience, but I’ve also fell on hard times.  I’m really in need of new equipment to help me with the few telecommute/remote Admin jobs I do have.  I’m currently using a 12 year old IBM T60 Thinkpad, that has about 20 missing buttons, and is just not up to par with a lot of tasks I need in order to work remote, for example Rackspace Remote Linux Admin.   I am really not going to ask for nothing crazy here, but I do prefer to have a machine such as the Lenovo Thinkpad T530 or the T420, or I’d settle for the X220. I’d prefer a SSD and 8GB memory and either Radeon or Nvidia chipset.

I Can get the T420 setup exactly as needed for no more than $300 on Amazon..   I really hope someone can help me out because I’m needing to get to work ASAP to continue supporting my family of 5.  The upgraded thinkpad model would definitely be a life saver.

Below is a pic of my wonderful children that I’m trying to keep from suffering from the current financial struggle I’m in.

$500 is very well enough to get me the equipment I need to start my remote positions.  Thanks to all donors and supporters, we greatly appreciate it!

28 year-old aspiring artist recently made homeless, embarrassed and desperate for help

I’ve never been the kind of person to beg for money. I’ve always struggled somewhat to make ends meet, but I took pride in knowing that no matter the struggle, at the end of the day, no one took care of me but me. Unfortuantely, that’s no longer the case, and here I am, desperate beyond measure for any kind of help I can get. Merely two months ago, I had everything I needed to live comfortably. I had a boyfriend, a car, a job, a roof over my head and food on the table. And almost all at once, it all vanished before my eyes the moment I was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. Considering I couldn’t afford the medication needed to level me out, it didn’t take long for my boyfriend to leave me, not understanding why I was so volatile at times, and I was forced to move out of the apartment we shared. I lived out of my car for a couple of weeks until I was rear ended one afternoon and sandwiched between the car in front of me and the one who rear ended me, totalling my vehicle and depriving me of the only shelter I had. Because my drivers license was expired at the time of the  accident, it was confiscated by the highway patrol, leaving me without proper identification and the funds to acquire it, which has also made it nearly impossible to acquire a job or perform even simple tasks. The only family I have to lean on are my parents, but my mom was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in 2010, and has since been through two bone marrow transplants, and countless hours of radiation and chemo, and while she’s in remission for the time being, she still struggles with the aftermath of treatment, and I can’t bear to add my problems to the heavy burden she and my dad carry every day. I’ve sought help from friends, and received minimal from a few, but I cannot ask them to continue to support me when they too have their own burdens to carry. I’m now left wandering the streets of Sacramento, spending my days searching for food and a place to escape the heat and my nights curled up on the sidewalk with a roll of paper towels under my head as a pillow. I’m not a drug addict or alcoholic (though I can see now why so many homeless are), and I’m not seeking money to support a habit. I’m simply trying to get my life back. The first step is to counteract the borderline personality disorder with medication and level myself out emotionally and mentally, so I can get a job. I need money to pay for the medication I’m supposed to be on, pay the DMV for an ID to help me acquire a job and buy some decent looking clothes for potential interviews. Ultimately, with those things accomplished, I can buy a new car and eventually a place to live, and have my life back I worked so hard for to begin with. But I can’t do it alone and I’ve run out of resources to call upon for help. As embarrassed as I am to even ask, any donation, no matter how small, is greatly appreciated, and I will do everything in my power to pay it forward in any way I can.

Education or death

Good afternoon. Thank you, we were able to devote your time to my post. Did not want to ask people for help, but it so happened that I myself am not able to cope with my difficult situation. Have you ever wondered how people live in poor, underdeveloped countries, where it is difficult to find a normal job and settle their lives? In countries where the salary of 300-400 USA dollars for an adult with higher education is considered high. Income for a student of 200 USA dollars for 160 hours of work per month it is considered acceptable. You are unlikely to agree to perform heavy physical or intellectual work for $ 1.25 per hour at a time when you need to learn and have a little rest. If yes, read up to the end of my message.

I live all my life in Ukraine. For eighteen years of my life, I realized that normal life in this country will not come before 50-100 years from now. But live and learn I want to right now, today. In my city with employment for students a problem, employers often cheat and fired without pay. Legislation of ordinary citizens in our country practically does not protect. It remains to rely only on himself. With honest people I encounter very rarely, but with honest employers – can say never. Difficulties are layered one after another. I also suffer from allergies and can not do hard work. This is only aggravating my situation, adds trouble and additional spending on special medicament’s. This year, it took me more than a month to find a suitable job. But it turned out to be useless occupation. The only thing that gives me joy recently is study in college. I urgently need money for education. The amount is small, only about 400 USA dollars. For someone in the US, this is a weekly or daily salary. For me it’s two months of hard work, which is very difficult to find, but very easy to lose. I know that people have more serious problems. I will not go into details. I ask you to possibly help me. Thank you for attention. The last hope for good and honest people. Now I’m facing a choice – either college or work for a ludicrous salary, leaving no room for personal life. I hope someone will hear my desperate request. Good luck in your affairs and let the good deeds will not be forgotten.

Gave a former friend/coworker $1500 without requesting for signed contract

Good afternoon,

A week ago I was full-time employed as a warehouse associate picking orders. I woke up everyday excited to go in and socialize with my peers, working 12 hour shifts whenever possible because I had built deep relationships. I had never had a job that made me smile like this. One of my co-workers was depressed from spending so much of his life there and wanted to go to PAT institute in Kitchener, Ontario for training to become a plumber. The window for the application was closing but he didn’t have the $1500 for tuition since he had a family.

I trusted him at the time and wanted to see him succeed, so we made a verbal agreement that I would give him the money if he paid me back on a monthly basis ($60) over 2 years.

After the first month I inquired about a payment but he asked me, “how can you prove it?”. I left early that day in a heartbroken pain mixed with rage. My attendance from then on was sporadic as news of this spread throughout the warehouse and made my life there stressful and bitter. Everyone supported me and some offered to testify in small claims court but I gave him cash without making him sign anything.

After about 3 weeks of silence between us I snapped and said, among other insulting things, “I have never in my life wanted to get violent with someone until now you fucking pathetic piece of shit”.

I yelled this across the warehouse as he walked away from me and it did not take long for that to circulate to my floor manager. She dismissed me saying me my attendance has been unacceptable, to get my personal life in order, and that my threat of violence left her hands tied. She cried while telling me this and so did I hearing it.

I called his girlfriend to tell her what happened hoping she could talk sense into him and they fought resulting in a break up. She now has custody of their 2 year old daughter. I was jumped by 3 people and was beaten had my nose broken because I think he blames me for taking his child from him. The people didn’t steal anything from me, just hospitalized me for 2 days.

I am now unemployed (will be working ASAP) and staying in a motel ($450/week @ the Sherwood motel in Kitchener) because my grandparents moved away. I didn’t tell them what happened. I don’t have the savings to pay first and last. I have $658 in my bank account and $120 cash to my name. I am paid for this week but I will soon be homeless.

I don’t expect to get anything from posting this and it hurts my pride immensely but I am desperate to avoid being homeless. It will be at least two weeks until my next paycheck once I start working elsewhere and then I’ll be working while on the streets.

I don’t want to try and get my money from him because I don’t want to get attacked again.

I screwed myself over with my bleeding heart philosophies and I am now requesting, quite ironically, for whoever is reading this to help me out. I’ll pay you back on a monthly basis if you like ;)

 

 

I’m Desperate Now! Emergency

Dear Reader,

My name is Jonathan Baker. I’m a 37 year old male that is in desperate need of transportation, food, and basic supplies. I injured my knee pretty bad. Tour all four legiements. This happened on March 26th. 2018. I still need another surgery to repair my knee. Can’t bend my knee without it popping out(dislocation) and doing even more damage and the pain and pressure. But like was always told. I have a big black cloud of doom over my head.

I was fired/laid off at work due to not being able to preform my duties. I tried signing up for unemployment benefits, and my boss and the government protested it , because I was not injured on the job and I was on a personal medical leave. Yes after almost 9 years at this company going above and beyond what is expected, this is how you get treated. I did have an emergency fund but now it’s gone. Along with everything else now. My car was repossessed, My phone, tv, and internet is cut off, My power bill is 15 days late and scheduled to be disconnected in less than 10 days, my water will be shut off in less than 48 hours, and I only have enough food to last maybe 2 or 3 days. I have never been in this shape or situation. I live out in a rural area and it’s 22 miles away from the closest store. I don’t know what else to do. This is my last chance Someone please help me. I promise to return the favor and generosity 10×fold. Please help me Any kind of donation would be greatly appreciated Please help me. I’m Desperate and in need of anything. I have researched every available option I have even sold almost everything I had just to buy what food I can. But now I’m maxed out of all options. Please help me!

I am in desperate need of transportation to get to the doctor, find food, and dig my way back to the light.

 

 

Need a second chance

Hi, I am a 20 year old female and my boyfriend is a 18 year old male. We are homeless and in a small town with not many options for us to choose from. We’re hungry, determined to find a better life in a bigger city since there are more opportunities for us. We are just really stuck down low here since we are a two hour drive from the nearest city, no financial help from either of our parents, unable to find work, and running out of food and places to crash for the night. I (female) have struggled with mental health issues since the young age of 12 and it has not been easy on me to make responsible and correct choices for my life. I dropped out of school at the age of 16 to dedicate my life for two years to an abusive relationship. That relationship set me so far back. Because he stole 1800$ from me, had my lisence taken away, didn’t allow me to have a job worried other men would look at me. So by the time I was 17 and finally got out of the abusive relationship I had basically hit rock bottom. I’ve lived broke and fighting for close to 3 years now and really just want a second chance at life and to start over with a new home. I have absolutely zero dollars a few close friends have helped me and my boyfriend through so far. But we need a way out. Rent/damage deposit, groceries for the month, travelling and moving cost, basic living necessities.

with the money you all may choose to donate to me will literally save our lives and we would be so grateful. I’d finally get to have my second chance at life.

I am unaware of how much money I would need but an estimated $7000 would be plenty to get me and my boyfriend back on our feet and living and loving life again.

Mental Health declining in ATX

So the past two years have been sorta brutal.
Last September the game studio I worked at for 5 years went under so I lost my job. I really burned out in that company. I needed money so I quickly found a job as a Barback at a wonder place called Catfish. I loved it but i couldn’t afford my Brooklyn apt anymore or bills. Luckily then I had some savings then that lasted a few months.

Aside from my burnout in the game industry I worked at for over 10 years NYC was also stressing me out. My panic attacks, anxiety, and depression started getting a lot worse. I wanted out of New York. I’d been planning to move to Seattle after my lease ended March of this year.
Then things to a turn. An ex came back into my life last December. He is an addict. He asked for another chance in tears. I explained that I was on my way out of New York. But I loved him very much. So I still had time left in NYC maybe this time I could save him and it would work out, I thought.
So after weeks went by he said he was coming with me. We just both wanted out of NYC. But Seattle was to far for him. So a city we both could agree on was Austin. This whole time though my gut was telling me GO TO SEATTLE.
But again I thought if I just got him out if New York too I could save him so Austin it was.
The lease at my Brooklyn Apartment ended March 2018. Our plan was I would move in with him for the month of April so we could both save some money and the move to Austin in May.

10 Days before I had to get out of my apartment and move in with him he called me and said he wasn’t ready to leave New York. In 10 Days I would be homeless. After a mojar panic attack and a lot of tears. I started selling or giving away pretty much everything I had over my 11 years in New York. All my nice furniture, books, collectibles. I needed the money and to travel light. I had to move somewhere. So in those 10 days I sold everything and had enough money to pay for movers to ship the boxes I did have to my mother in El Paso, Tx. I had a dear friend let me stay with him for a couple of weeks in upstate New York. Then I flew back home to stay with my mother while I figured my life out.
I found a temp space in Austin with a wonderful girl I found in an Austin queer housing Facebook group. And quickly found a job as a Barback. I applied to jobs in the game industry as well but got either no response or rejections. I’ve been in Austin since May about 3 weeks ago I broke down and admitted to myself that I’m not happy here. My depression is getting worse, my panic attacks more frequent and severe. I was on medication to help me for years. But lost my insurance last year when I lost my game studio job. So I’ve been off my meds for almost a year now and my mental health is deteriorating.

I’m glad I left New York it was good for me. I don’t regret that in the slightest. But my now ex bailing on our plans happened so fast. That after it was over I just went along with the plan we had together and moved to Austin alone. So I’m leaving Austin. I’m planning to do what I initially intended to do for the past year and go to Seattle. I want to enroll in cosmetology school to be a barber.

Mid August. I am driving back home to see my family and decompress. Unfortunately I used all the saved funds I had to move here. I have friends who are willing to help me out to but I figured this wouldn’t hurt either. I need all the help I can get.

I can’t stay in Austin, I’m not healthy here. My stress is causing sever skin problems. I have all these cuts on my head from me scratching it constantly. Not even aware im doing it sometimes. A couple of weeks ago I was on the brink of it but managed to call a suicide help line. I’m trying to keep it together. I’m still here. I have hope that I’ll get to Seattle where I actually wanted to go. Goodnight and thank you in advance.

Homeless couple with pets

I’m not the best with words but I’ll explain this the best I can.

My boyfriend and I lost our apartment in Illinois due to inability to pay rent so we went down to Texas to live with my grandmother. I have severe anxiety and it puts me in a position where I have trouble even going outside, due to this my boyfriend (let’s call him Phoenix) does all the work, but every job he has gotten in the area has fired him for some Unreasonable or dumb thing, I feel like it may be because he’s kinda scary looking and sounding. Now, I do bring in some income here and there because I’m a digital and traditional artist who does commissions, but of course it doesn’t help much.

After about a year at my grandmother’s in the beginning of July 2018 her landlord told her we had to get out or else she was getting evicted. At the time we didn’t see the big deal, he had just gotten a welding job that payed crazy money and we thought we could get out in time. But of course, something happened; Phoenix when to his shift supervisor saying he was having trouble doing part of a weld and they just told him to leave and not come back.

This is when the stress started.

I started talking to my father for a place to stay with him in California. Of course he said yes, but gas money was an issue since we were in Texas. About 2 and a half weeks before we had to leave (after a lot of job searching) Walmart called Phoenix to set up an interview. It took half a week to get hired and those last two weeks were nothing but work work work. Finally near the end we realized we wouldn’t have enough to drive all the way up to California with a cat and a rabbit.

Suddenly Phoenix got a job offer from a guy he met through D&D, this job was for the video game company ArenaNet, of course he Took it.

During all of this I wasn’t just sitting on my butt twiddling my thumbs, I was looking for resources.

I was talking to a friend of mine (let’s call her Alli) and she offered for us to stay with her, so we went a few hours away to her place. The issue with staying with her is that she lives in student apartments and is technically not allowed to have people live with her, but we had no other choice, can’t exactly live in a car without air conditioner in Texas.

We went to her house with nothing but a few outfits. (Our pets are staying with my grandmother.) The day after, Phoenix goes in for his interview at ArenaNet, which is about 2 hours away from my friends apartment. He got the job and started August 2. He loves the job, but he’s already thinking he’s going to have to quit because he doesn’t have gas money, there’s no place to be homeless with a car and the nearest rest stop is 45 minutes away. We can’t afford for him to lose this job, so I’m asking y’all to please donate, out of the kindness of your hearts to help with food and gas so he can keep this job and we can get out of my friends hair.

Calling all Angels

Hi, my name is Lori and I am at the end of my rope. I came across this site and figured I would give it a try. I am in a financial bind right now and don’t know where else to turn. I have no family as both of my parents have gone home to meet their maker. I ended up quitting my job 3 years ago to take care of my mother that needed round the clock care and that’s when the hole started.And since then it has just gotten bigger. I have ALWAYS been the one to help and now I find myself in need of some help. I have NEVER done anything like this before. I just hope some kind person(S) can find it in the kindness of their heart to help. If I were to sit here and write everything it would end up being a book so I am just going to give you the main details. Like I said it all started a few years back when I had to quit my job to take care of mom (I mean she took care of me for 18 years and ya gotta do what ya gotta do). Also I have custody of my 10 year old grand daughter (have had her since birth because my daughter just doesn’t have it in her to be a mother and provide for her) and now I’m having trouble myself. While on the subject of my grand daughter, I am in need of getting her a bed right now. I was renting to own her one, but due to the financial situation they came and took it back. She is going to be starting school in 20 days and she needs a bed to get her proper rest for school. I found her a beautiful one on a used web site. A white 4 poster bed with canopy. The woman wants $75 for it and I explained her my situation and she dropped the price to $60 but I can’t even come up with that. Getting her a bed before school is very important. And that’s just the price of the bedframe, headboard, footboard and canopy. No mattress and box spring, but will work on that if I can get the frame. On top of that I have a shut off notice for my water because my sewage hasn’t been paid. They can’t shut off the sewer so they are going after the water. Another bill and utility I am in jeopardy of losing is the electric. It just seems like everything is falling apart all at once and I am at the end of my rope. I’m having trouble getting a job because now I have health issues of my own and have trouble standing for more than 2 hours at a time. I could go on and on but I have already taken up enough of your time. I thank you for taking the time to read this. I live on a very low income ($146.00 monthly) and am in desperate need of help. If you can find it in the kindness of your heart to help it would be greatly appreciated. And I have proof of the bills if you would want before helping.  I have tried selling some stuff on Ebay, but haven’t had much luck on there. And IF you could possibly help us, anything I have left over I will come back here and gladly pay it forward and write a note of thank you. Any and all donations will be put to good use. From buying my grand daughter the bed to paying the termination notices and putting food on the table.  My pay pal account is  moneymakingmeme@yahoo.com  

Thank you again for taking the time to read my post.

Bed  $60, Sewage bill $444.17, Electric bill $I need atleast $275 to stop the termination.  Again any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Please if you can find it in the kindness of your heart to help we will be forever grateful.

A Debt Consolidation company scammed me

I have spent the last several years of my adult life attending college part time. I am 38 years old and about 2-3 years away from receiving my Bachelor’s in nursing. I have worked hard and I work two jobs. I also have two young daughters in elementary school. I have mounting student loan debt and my deferment periods are up. I have worked with them and three of my credit card creditors to get my payments as low as possible. Then I discovered Freedom Debt Relief.

After lengthy conversations over the course of two days, I decided to consolidate my debt with them for the three creditors (not the student loans). I turned in the account information to FDR and they began collecting a payment from me that was about $300 less a month than I had previously been paying. What a relief…. right?

Well, FRD didn’t pay off my three creditors and I was about 3 months behind before I found this out. They even changed my contact info with my creditors to reflect FDR’s contact.

I was eventually refunded the majority of my payments I had made to FDR, but I am still 2 months behind on these creditors (I had used the money I was saving from the payments to catch up on my mortgage.)

I am in a mess. I have no one but my daughters and I can’t work any more than I already am.

Please help me get out of this mess! I have never asked for charity before but I don’t want to become homeless and face bankruptcy.

Hacked no recovery – just a lil help to get back on my feet

Hello my boys and I moved here in NY from VA last year. Kinda hard to explain but they all call me “a fixer” meaning I want to help younger people so they don’t make mistakes that I have. Well being too nice and trusting for me this time as I was hacked and all of my accounts wiped out. I’m not the type to put them in jail just breaks my heart. I have enough for rent however now I can’t take my boys on a vacation not to mention they need school supplies, clothes, shoes, and all their football necessities. Trying to figure out how to do it myself but thought I’d ask for any kind of donation to help to get em ready for school oldest is 14 starting high school youngest is 10 goin in 5th grade. They lost their dad 2 years ago and I’ve managed even under all the drama my family created back in Virginia. I just want to build a new life for my boys. A life I never had – the chance to be anything they want to be and complete happiness. They already know life is not always cookies and cakes. They know life can be absolutely brutal however I’m trying to raise them it’s all about how you react to unfortunate events and stay positive. And trust me any donations will be paid forward to someone else stuck in a bind once i get back on my feet. Thank you for reading and do what I do smile at everyone then count the smiles you get back. My experience I get more smiles back on Thursday’s…..the day after hump day or payday?!?! Idk but i bet you smiled and its Tuesday. Spread love and positivity.

Please pay it forward and you can bet my SweetVA a$$ I’ll pay it forward!!

Deep debt, need at least a phone for work

So I’m going to say right off the bat something that might make me less sympathetic, but this whole situation is my fault. Nothing terrible happened to me and I’ve been afforded a fortunate life in many ways, which makes this situation and the fact I’m asking for money here particularly tough.

I’m 30. About 3 years ago I quit a job that I didn’t have passion for, gave me panic attacks, and had 12+ hour days that were affecting my overall health. It’s easy to point to this as my first mistake, leaving a stable job…but this is actually the one thing I don’t regret, it was a bad fit and was making me miserable. I tried, in various ways, going into business for myself (online Amazon store, rented out a car for Uber driving, made some investments) but they were poorly planned out and ultimately ended up costing me bunch of money.

I moved back to my hometown from the big city I was living in and found some seasonal work as I continued on my own projects. It was enough to get by but not enough to put a dent into the rather large debt I had accumulated; debt that was continuing to collect interest.  I started to become pretty depressed w/ the whole situation, which didn’t help my ability to do anything about it. Looking back now, there’s so many ways I could have avoided this situation or mitigated the damage. I’ve never been bad with money before and I think it blinded me to what was happening. “I wasn’t the guy who has scary debt problems, so the debt I was accumulating would have to work out” was my (admittedly poor) thought process at the time. But what’s done is done.

Anyway, nowadays I’m about 20K in debt, which in and of itself isn’t the end of the world. I’m college educated and able to work. There’s some complicating factors that have made it difficult to get started, however. First, it’s been tough to get work, even in a good job market. My recent work history at hourly/salaried jobs is spotty and my credit is terrible, which are two big things employers look at.  A more pressing problem is my phone broke a couple months ago, my computer broke a couple months before that, and my car barely runs (and I need one to go to any prospective job, I live in the middle of nowhere). I have $17 to my name and no imminent incoming cash so I’m at a loss of how to fix any of it.  Without a phone (and service plan) it’s difficult to attain and hold a job. Obviously we’re a cell phone culture and it’s hard for prospective employers to get in touch w/ me, but also a lot of jobs that I could get started on right away require apps (uber/postmates/etc) or your employer being able to reach you throughout the day (lawncare/landscaping).

If nothing else, I could really use some “startup” cash for getting myself a phone and possibly some car repairs.  It should go without saying that I’d be extremely for any help people are willing to offer to bail myself out my own mess. Any amount helps. I know I can still recover and go on to create my own source of money but some help getting over the hump would expedite the process and I would be extremely grateful.

Note: I don’t know if it’s allowed but I’m going to leave a bitcoin address too. I have a wallet and that might be easier for me overall if possible.

ps. Sorry the picture is lame. Couldn’t log in to my credit card account where the bulk of my debt is cause they closed the account and I couldn’t take a picture of any paper documents b/c no phone/camera. Hopefully it suffices.

Single Dad

Hello,

I am a single dad now after my wife of 16 years passed away from a rare and aggressive form of cancer. Endometrial Stromal Sarcoma  high grade. Barb my wife fought like crazy for 18 months to beat it. She fought hard to stay alive and beat it for our daughter. Her favorite thing in the world was being a momma. As many of us know from experience cancer treatment is not cheap, even with good insurance. So after all the treatments, alternative treatments it drained my finances. I had to remortgage the house to pay back people i borrowed money from to make bills and pay for normal and extra expenses along the way. Just now with being wiped out all of my savings retirement money and my daughters college fund gone. I am struggling to rebuild my life. I am only asking for help because my daughter deserves more than being told no we cannot afford it. She understands we spent a lot of money to save her momma. She asks for very little, she really does not ask for much. She has forced herself to not buy makeup or new clothes, she does not go out with friends. Sydney, my daughter does odd jobs and gives what she earns and saves to help out. I am grateful for her help, but it breaks my heart to see her work hard and help pay for something that was not hers, her mommas or my choice. I work full time and do odd jobs after my day job. To tell the truth we both need a break. It would be a big help to have some of the smaller loans paid off.  I have personally sold everything of value i could, coin collection from my grandma, guitars, old jewelry, watches, vintage comic books, to make ends meet. I do not drink or smoke so your generosity will not be wasted on frivolous unnecessary items. All i ask is give what you can. A dollar is most generous and grateful to receive. If you are able to help with more that is up to you.

Praying for HELP

Praying for help

I am in desperate need of help and have no resources to help me.

Earlier this year I had to leave my job, the job I loved and was meant to do and could never ask for better because of medical illness that I am still dealing with. I worked at the local high school with special needs children, some were physically challenged , some had mental challenges. I loved the school and these children dearly, but I was too sick to keep working.

On advice from my Dr. I decided to file for disability. This is an extremely long process and my attorney says it takes around a year and a half to complete.. I am already six months into it so I have made progress. In the meantime , I am going under. I am now faced with everyday struggles of having no income. My 78 year old mother who is disabled is having to take care of me. I have had to apply to all of the local agencies for help with medical needs, Dr. Appointments .

My car is now in jeopardy of being repossessed. I have been able to make my payments until now. Money has run out. I am in desperate need of a vehicle to get me to my doctor appointments, attorneys office, to the grocery store and to help my mother .

In order to stop this nightmare , I have to pay off the car note..so I will no longer have a payment. $9750.14 or give the car back and get something else. I do not mind finding a cheaper vehicle, but I do not have the money to buy one.

I guess what I am asking for is help paying my car off or enough money to get something else or even an old car someone doesn’t want.

It is hard being in this situation and even harder having to ask for help, but I am at the end of my rope and I am scared to death

Homeless and need help

Hi, my name is Stephanie and I’m 18 years old. I just want to begin by saying thank you for taking the time out of your day to even read my request.

I have been couch surfing the last few weeks, but I haven’t really had anywhere secure to stay for about 2 years now. My father is in prison, and my mom is who knows where doing I don’t even know what. But you’re not here to listen to my life story.

Anyways, So I tried to apply for food stamps because I am technically homeless at the moment, they were going to expedite it so that the process would go by faster. But, here’s the catch, because I had a job within the last 30 days they said it couldn’t be expedited.

I worked at Tops for less than a month and got fired because I stopped showing up. Now you’re probably thinking, “Well, you should’ve shown up then,” I had some mental things going on. Not even a week after I had gotten fired I started a mental evaluation and found out that I have bipolar disorder. I wasn’t officially diagnosed yet, because the nurse who questioned me didn’t have the qualifications. She still prescribed me the medication I would need and gave me a few papers on a couple places that I could start seeing a psychiatrist.

Now here’s where it gets even worse, I went to get my prescription and my insurance wasn’t going through. Which means, my parents never recertified it for me before they decided to just completely give up. Anyways, the medication is over a hundred dollars, which I do not have.

So on top of being homeless and jobless, I couldn’t even get the medication I needed so that I could get better enough to hold onto a job at the least. So now I’m stuck and have nothing else to do but ask for money. I hate having to do it, but I don’t see any other options.

It doesn’t matter how much you can give, I just need some money to be able to eat and buy the necessities. Some necessities that I am referring to are sneakers because all I have are flats and almost every pair is torn in multiple places. A few more necessities are soap and other things for hygiene.

Also, I noticed it said that I need to provide a photo for you donators to see what exactly you are donating to. I don’t have any way to take a photo in order to upload it onto here. I’m using a public computer and don’t have a phone to be able to transfer and pictures.

Thank you very much for your time and any donations you may or may not give.

Need Help in the Month of August

About a month ago, I received word that they were selling the building that I was living in and I would have to move. Due to being laid off frequently, my savings has taken a toll and has been depleted. I didn’t know what I was going to. I had no money for a deposit for a new place. No money to move my belongings. No extra money period and most importantly, no time to save money to do these things.

In addition to this situation, I have been dealing with a pretty serious bout of depression an anxiety. These are things that I have been dealing with for much of my life. However, this time around it was different and much darker. I was terrified at points. I couldn’t get out of bed or shower some days. The only thing I was able to do is thankfully just make it my place of employment.

I somehow was able to pull together enough money to rectify my living situation. I will not be homeless like I feared. In the process of figuring this situation out I decided not to let a situation like this break me ever again. I was able to come up with a plan. I came up with a better way to budget my money every month in order to be able to at least attempt to have savings to fall back on. I also decided it is time for me to start searching for employment that will allow me to feel more secure in my life. Being laid off multiple times in a short amount of time mixed with my depression anxiety has made me become complacent and to just to accept a lower paying job in another industry just to avoid the situation again. This worked for a while, but now it’s time to get myself in motion. I don’t want to be in a situation like this again.

Now, here is my current situation and my reason for posting. In order to figure out my living situation, I had to cancel and push back some bill payments for the month of August. I had to make a decision not to pay my phone or electric bill. The next month will be rough and I will not have enough to pay these bills in addition to rent. I can’t risk having these things turned off and I am not sure what to do. I am struggling and know that I will not be as bad off in a month or so, but for right now I need help. I don’t know where else to turn. Anything will be much appreciated.

Thank you for listening.

Help me get into Coding Bootcamp! Very Driven!

So this is a first for me. Never done something like this, but I’ve become desperate.

paypal.me/mosesjrobinson

My name is Moses Robinson.

So about two months ago now, my partner and I made our move to Portland. He was hired for a new job out there and I was in the process of doing the same.

 

Unfortunately, my job being a retail job, the transfer did not go through, and that has now left me jobless. Knowing this was a possibility, I saved up some money, but definitely not enough to live off of for months.

 

Originally, my plan was to find a new job in retail, but quickly asked myself, “do I want to continue being stuck in retail? Or pursue my dream?”

 

I decided that coding school was what I wanted to do.

 

My problem with this option right now is the financing of it all. I’m in a situation where taking out a loan for the boot camp is not an option. My credit score is poor, and because of other passs dept, I have been denied, making my score even lower.

 

The help that im asking for here is not for all that debt – that is well over $20,000 at this point – but help with paying for the bootcamp. The bootcamp courses that I’m looking at are normally $8,000. Luckily, I was able to get a diversity scholarship from them and they brought that down to $4,000.

 

$4,000 is what I need. Those $4,000 is the help I need to help myself. Those $4,000 will help me acquire my dream job, and pay for the rest of my debt.

 

Please, any help at this point, would be amazing! The boot camp begins in October! In the mean time, I’m trying to find other ways to live personally. I just know that this one thing will help me help myself.

 

Thank you for reading and hopefully you can help.

I still believe that I can be a Doctor

 

As the oldest child of five kids I never knew my responsibilities as a first child would be so heavy. Ever since I was 7 years old, I’ve always wanted to be a Doctor even though at Arundel Girls high school, in Zimbabwe my academic teachers never thought I was capable of it. This one time, Miss Grinley, head of academics had stated in front of a class of 200 girls that I was never going to make it in the science world. I ran out crying and almost believing that I was a failure in life including going through an emotional breakdown over my parent’s separation after the countless fights I had to witness and hide my youngsters from.  I always had my diary to express my feelings and escape from the negative bubble I was in. I could’ve listened to Grinley and continued hating myself and dwell on my family’s problems but, I chose to keep working hard which resulted in A’s and B’s for my Cambridge exams until I graduated and getting accepted into Pennsylvania State University.  However, I was not lucky in getting a scholarship or grants in aiding in my educational finances, my dad might not be living with us but I appreciate the initiative he took in taking care of us financially which hasn’t been an easy road until now. During my sophomore year I almost broke down because of the grave economic collapse in Zimbabwe which made it difficult for my dad to pay my international student tuition of $10000 for Penn State commonwealth campuses. Fortunately, Penn State offered me an emergency fund of $4000 leaving only the remainder for my dad to cover; which was a onetime application. I was still grateful for it. I was working on campus as a student worker in academic affairs but, it was only enough to cover transport and living expenses since I am only restricted to working 20 hours a week; for international students. Tried getting in contact with my Angolan embassy for financial assistance but had no response at all, even when I returned home, there was no one that could help since we are all facing our own level of financial issues. Now I am in my junior year, majoring in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, transferring to University Park expenses will rise up to $50000 in annual fee. The worst part is I am applying for scholarships so I can pay off my medical insurance of $1500 so I can schedule Fall classes when the semester will start on the 22nd of August. My dad is a tough guy, I know he is finding multiple ways to not only support me but my whole family. I honestly don’t want to burden my dad with such huge expenses and prefer to either work online jobs; sell my wardrobe; keep begging; keep applying until something good comes up. I want to complete college on a positive note with very little financial stresses. The reason is despite being told by an academic teacher that I was a failure and I’ve come this far, I don’t want the world to tell me the same because I still believe that I can be a Doctor.

Trying to help my Mom get back on track

Hello,

My mom is currently 68 years of age and is in quite a bit of Debt.  She’s at least 1 payment behind on just about all of her bills.  Her credit card alone was cancelled a month ago after missing the past 3 payments, but the interest just keeps adding up. The minimum payment is now up around $500.00, which is just outrageous.  The current Balance on the credit card is $8200.    After being layed off at age 62, she tried to find work but it was hard after being diagnosed with a kidney disease.  She now goes to Dialysis every Monday,Wednesday and Friday for 5 hours each day.   A couple years later she was also diagnosed with COPD and Emphysema, which now puts her on Oxygen 24/7.  Ultimately, I’m trying to get at least her Credit card payed off, so she won’t have to file for Bankruptcy.

All throughout my childhood growing up, she was a stay at home mom while my father had a steady job with a better then average salary.  After they got divorced when I graduated high school in 1997, she went into the work force without a college degree and no real technical skills. These days, most office type of jobs, you need to have computer experience, which she doesn’t have.   She’s worked in various warehouses and offices doing minimum wage clerical/filing jobs.

I’ve been trying to help her pay some of her smaller bills to keep her from falling much further in debt.  Unfortunately, with what little money I have after my rent, student loans and other bills are paid, I don’t have all that much left over to help my mom out.

Any help would be Greatly Appreciated.

Thank You,

Homeless family of 5

 

Hello good morning. I know this may be a long shot especially but I’ve reached out to multiple sources and have gotten no where and me and my family have nothing else to lose (literally) so I decided to draft up this message. We are a family of five our son is 8 daughter is 4 and we have a two month old. We recently hit a financial crisis and because of that we have recently become homeless (as of yesterday 07:28/2018). We need help and do not know where to turn anymore. We were instructed to call 211 (Salvation Army) before the eviction went through but were told basically at the moment there was nothing they could do. And almost was scammed out of 300 dollars to a stop eviction website. Luckily I did some more research and figured it out before I was scammed. I been a resident in Broward since I was born 27 long years in fort Lauderdale / Wilton manor area. I’m literally in tears writing this because of how desperate I sound. The depression is hitting really hard and it’s becoming really hard to keep my head out of the dark clouds maybe I’ve lost all hope and am pulling for a miracle. It hard as a father to watch there children sleep in the  back of there car. We’ve prayed for some light at the end of this dark road, just seems like this dark cloud is to dark it’s starting to mess with me mentally. Below if my paypal, thank you for reading this, and thank you honestly anything will help.

Single mother in need of help

Single mother in need of help for bills, groceries, and a car.

I’m not sure if this site is legit or not, but if it isn’t it Will be nice to at least get this off of my chest.

I truly hate asking for help let alone from people that don’t know me, it makes me feel needy and honestly I feel bad for asking but in times of need I have to swallow my pride.

I am a single mother of a beautiful one year old baby boy who is my world, but due to some tough times and complicated situations I am in a time of need.

My ex (the baby’s father), left me for a hooker.. and I can not stress how serious I am, he left me for one of them girls that you see in a movie who betray as a hooker.. I don’t know what he sees in her but that isn’t my pronlem my problem is he left me with a Huge amount of unpaid bills and took the only working vehicle in the home. I would work my a** off trying to provide for the family and would give him money to pay bills while I was at work but little did I know that he was usuing it for drugs and hookers, when I found out not only did he get verbally abusive but very close to physical.

I don’t like to ask for help, at all but I feel like this could be my only way at getting my life back on track. If you can help with even $1.00 I would greatly appreciate it, I apologize for having to ask but I feel like my hands are tide and I need to swallow my pride…. At least once,

Thank you for taking the time to read.

Sincerely, a very appreciative single mom.

I need to go back to my country

Hello reader,

I am a 33 year old software developer from Venezuela. In March this year, I was offered the opportunity to travel from Venezuela to Palma de Mallorca – Spain for work. The people that wanted me here were just as interested as I was, since as you may know my country is going through very difficult times and I had to try something else. And they needed a low cost programmer. Also, I had most of the app ready just before coming.

 

Two major events happened, and now I want to go back but I don’t have money.

The people that brought me

  1. They initially gave me a place to sleep and food, but we had major disagreement over work conditions, and they now left me almost sleeping in the streets.
  2. After all the problems happened, now they are threatening me with the law. I am pretty sure that they can’t do anything because I didn’t do anything wrong, but I am really afraid to lose time here because of what I will briefly explain.
  3. I barely have food to eat, and someone is letting me sleep in his couch. But I am in critical condition, also because those who depend on me back in Venezuela will be in serious trouble if I don’t go back.

I have an incredibly good Job offer

While being here, someone contacted me via email telling me that they were interested in me, professionally. After many interviews and a lot of work, they hired me for their company, assigned to an office in Venezuela incidentally in my hometown.

Now the biggest problem is that I don’t even have time to save money (I can work of course) to get there in time, I tried many ways but it didn’t work out. So I am trying here, I really need to be in Venezuela, to be back with my family and away from this people who tricked me and technically scammed me.

I say that they scammed me, because after all the hard work now I am asking them to pay me. They still need my services, so I said you either pay me or I will no longer work for you. To which they replied, threatening me and saying that it was against the law because what I was doing was blackmail. The fact being, that they can’t prove that I worked for them, nor can I. So I can’t sue them and they can’t sue me either. Originally I worked with the promise that any profit made by the app we were developing I would have a percentage, but they haven’t told me how much exactly to this day. I retracted their offer now.

Long story short, I need to get away from this people as I am worried about my physical integrity but sadly I don’t have enough money nor do I have the time to make it before I lose the opportunity to have a Job in Venezuela, which is a very hard thing to happen.

Need a Lawyer for my kids.

Hello,

I am a mother in need of a lawyer. My situation is complicated and humiliating. I left my ex in 2014, due to domestic violence. I was granted custody of my two children. At the time, he was granted visitation… which was shortly violated and he ended up not seeing them all together. It’s now been two years since he has seen or spoken to my children. Recently, child support has decided to have the children added to his health insurance. This will allow him the opportunity to reinstate his visitation and he is threatening to do so. He has been texting and threatening me for weeks now. I have found an attorney that can help me legally remove him from our lives. He has multiple domestic violence charges (even after my case with him) and he has no desire to take part in my kids lives, other than to spite me. He has told me if i don’t do what he wants, he will go for custody/visitation. I need this lawyer to keep my kids safe and to give us peace of mind. The lawyer will cost at least $3500 for his retainer. I am saving as much as I can… but I cannot come up with that amount soon enough. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Embattled war veteran running out of options

FB_IMG_1530333092488.jpg

Hello my name is Brandon Haag. I’m 34 years old and live in Alabama. I am a 6 year Army combar veteran with two tours to Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom completed. I got out of the military in 2010 and started to work at a Juvenile Mental Health facility. I worked at that one job from 2011 until April of this year. I left that job after so many years because I was passionate about going to school and furthering my education. Due to administrative changes, I had to pull 12-14 hour shifts five to six days in a row which left me with no time for my personal life or going back to school. I ended up leaving and picked up a odd job of cleaning carpets. My new job allowed me the time I needed for my goals. When I was released from the military, a civilian doctor diagnosed me with PTSD, depression, and anxiety. I was denied a claim I filed with the VA on those diagnoses. My PTSD comes and goes. Well this July 4th, after my neighbors told me I didn’t have to worry about fireworks this year, they went ahead and spent hundreds of dollars on big fireworks. Due to not expecting the fireworks, after the first round, I began to hyperventilate and curl into a ball, crying and hoping it would end. The crying turned into rage and I ended up throwing things in my house which resulted in property damage. After that evening I haven’t been the same. My emotions were fragile and it carried onto the job to where people didn’t want to work next to me. I had night terrors and lost a lot of sleep to where I couldn’t function at work. Eventually I had to do what was best for my health and care about the people around me and I had to quit that job. I’m currently getting psychological help along with medication to stabilize me. But now my bills are stacking up and I’m still waiting on unemployment. I have exhausted all the help I could get from my family. I’m almost out of options and that’s why I’m here. I’m hoping somebody out there understands what I went through and what my road to having peace at mind will be like. Thanks for taking the time to read this and God Bless.

College debt and collection agency

Hello! I would like to remain anonymous but I am a student that goes to college in New York City. The past few years of my life has been rough as my mother is very sick and my family has been having financial struggles. In a household with my three other siblings, we work hard to maintain a standard of living and have all recently been struggling to keep a job and go to school at the same time. My oldest sister has finally gotten into NYPD and is going through training but her pay rate is very low. My mother who is on disability, gets a single check per month just enough to pay rent and cover her medical bills for her dialysis and diabetes treatment. My next older sister has stopped going to school altogether and works full time at a restaurant. My youngest brother just made it into community college and I am currently in debt at my college as I have been using my financial aid funds to contribute to our household needs. I am in desperate need of some money to pay my debt that has now been transferred over to a collections agency. I have been so overwhelmed by this that I have yet to tell my family but if I am not able to pay this debt off I cannot attend school in the fall. I do admit that my grades have not been the most spectacular at the college I’m going to but that’s because I haven’t been focusing the way I should’ve on my future. When you’re caught up in life and just surviving you forget to think ahead and put yourself first. So for a moment I was lost and wasted 3 years away at college getting barely passing grades as I worked hard at keeping my part time job as an ecommerce manager. But I have since realized my passion for computer science and realized I have bigger dreams and would like to continue my education. I want to be a software engineer. I want to be an entrepreneur. I want to do what I’m passionate about and also get my family out of the struggle. What I am asking for is getting my debt paid off and some jumpstart money that my family could use so we can be less pressed over money and we can all focus on our Hope’s and dreams. The cost of my debt is around $3500. I will have to double check the letters I have received as I have avoided all the notices and dont know where they all are but i have about a semester and half worth of debt to pay off. The average semester is around $4000. I have to call my school and find out but I have been dreading to do that since I dont have the money to pay them. It also would be nice to have $1000 extra for this program I would like to be a part of. It’s a software engineering course that’s very vigorous and will propel me towards my career goals. I already applied to them, I just need to know if I’m accepted and pay for the course which $999. It also would help if I could attain $5000 just to take away a little stress off my sisters who work so hard to provide food for us and pay for bills. So a grand total of about $10,000 can really help me and my family get along. I am asking for a hand up and not just a hand out and I hope anyone who sees this would be so kind to contribute to my cause. Thank you!

I am desperate

Greetings, my name is Matias and I’m from Argentina. The reason why I write this is to ask for your help. I´ll explain a little about my situation. When I was 14 years old in 2001, my family decided to go to the USA to make a better future for myself and my brother, leaving our home in “good hands” to a family member. After finishing high school and working for two years in the USA, we had no choice but to return to our country, in 2007. Upon arrival, we discovered that our home had been usurped. In the process of taking legal action against the criminals to recover our home, we discovered that they were relatives of a public prosecutor. We have been fighting for that house for years and because of the corruption of this country and the corrupted laws, we lost the only home we had. During all that time, we were forced to rent. Worse yet, my mom got diabetes, which is why her health is deteriorating more and more.

Today the situation in Argentina continues to get worse. The prices of food, home rentals and medicine are rising more and more. Salaries do not go up .. Also getting a job is complicated, even more with a reasonable salary. We are at a point of despair. On one hand, the rents are very high. On the other hand, my mom does not have the treatment or the medication she needs. She does not get the treatment she needs because private hospitals are very expensive, and the public ones can not help. The medicines are also very expensive. We never have enough money. If we pay rent, we eat little and can not buy everything my mom needs. The loss of our home ruined us, not only economically, but also emotionally. I am about to ask you something that I would never do if it were not that I am desperate. I need your help, your generosity, for what little you could give me, it will have great value. Help me build a new home for my family and give my mother the proper treatment and medication she needs.

To whoever reads this, I thank you for your attention.
-Matias

Help Please!

Hello,

This isn’t something I would normally do. I’m usually financially stable and can manage my own; until this year… I tried applying for my summer classes and couldn’t because I owed 2K for the last two classes I took so with obviously no chance in finding that kind of money I just picked up more hours at work. I work 40+ hrs a week but only get paid 9/hr meaning this gives me enough to pay the utilities in the apartment i’m living in. After a while I was content with just having to pay to keep my bills up but now they’re all starting to overlap each other and I can’t manage to stay on top and part of the reason is because I get paid bi-weekly and that first week the money goes to bills I have none left that second week for the bills due then. This is just consuming me in late fees and taking a stab at my credit which in the end doesn’t help with the fact that i’m trying to go back to school. I know once I graduate in the degree i’m heading for I will be set but for now i’m just being consumed by the call of money from me left and right. I sold my car to try to get back right but it wasn’t enough so I have no car, just a little grom. If anyone out there can help I would really appreciate it; I just want to get back into school so I can manage my own!

EMERGENCY assistance… gosh, have we been through a rough patch.

This last month, to be honest…. this year has been a very difficult one for my son and i.It started with such positive thoughts and goals. we didn’t have it all but there was a clear direction. I felt that i was on the right track and the breakthrough was just there within arms reach. Then as the year has gone on my situation declined. the things i worked so hard towards had been ripped away like a sticky band aid. I was unable to fix a financial issue for the person i was renting from and for the first time in my life, we were homeless. I worked very hard all my life to not just make it… but to succeed. Now i stand with nothing of ownership and a hope that this reaches someone with an understanding heart. during the moving of our personal possessions, our last load was stolen along with our vehicle. the vehicle was later found but it was found very empty and damaged beyond repair. sadly all my sons stuff was in that load. his electronics… his whole life. I gladly give up the little i have to replace his missing items. We need help with purchasing household goods and money to help get into a new place. We are still positive that our situation will be answered by help or direction. ty very much for your time in reading my post. for all donations received, i want to just say in advance how grateful i am for your generosity. {My wish is reach my goal of $4000.00 for dep., 1st, last and ant remaining would go towards utility dep. and replacing lost items.}

Emergency Cash In Need

Hello,

My Name is Ashley, I live with my mother  in a run down life style she has always been a single parent and a good parent to me but as you get older some parents tend to change their nature toward you and don’t look to help you out anymore  when you are in need  and I have never been the type of child that like asking my mother for money and look for anybody help. I have always been a good child growing up and going to school and that what I look to keep doing following my dreams and to pursuit a career in education and is a recent college graduate already, and looking to keep getting degrees along the way, as for now I’m  looking for a new job because I like working very much and like making my own cash  so when I need food and clothes. I be able to buy myself things , but I have not got a new job offer just yet and have been in need for some new clothes just for the hot weather example being a few t shirts and  need something new to sleep in as well for the weather.

I do not like asking for help, but I understand sometimes in life you will need little support along the way and I do not have much family to go to and have much support either my family is not one to look out for me that much and not looking for them to,  so I am on my own when it comes to support and just looking for little help just so I can manage for myself for the time being, until I can get a new job then I should be alright after that, and this is not something I wanted to do but I also feel it may be a good opportunity for me and as they say the sky has no limits and it don’t hurt to try then not at all.

So if anybody willing to help me I be very grateful because I’m a very understanding person by heart so it don’t have to be a lot to put a smile on my face times is hard for everybody so a little goes a long way , and my goal is least 800 dollars because I don’t need that much just need to be able to get myself a few t shirts and something to sleep in, while the summer time still in and in case of an emergency  for food then I have something to use later on, and that is really it and who ever decide to donate to me bless your heart and thank you.

My Van is my Home

Sorry, I tried to put a picture on here but it won’t let me do to pixels 😒.

For almost 3 years, I have tried to make things work. I’ve tried social services,  working only to spend all money made on gas and very high hotel stays when I could. I even wrote to the president, vice president, and first lady when this all began (MY LETTER-

Dear President Obama,
I have written to you, Vice President Biden, and First Lady Obama a few months ago regarding my homeless situation. As of this date, there has been no progress. The system in the state of Delaware fails us that have worked all of our lives and have fell on hard times.

Today I went to Social Services again to see if I could receive a hotel voucher due to our car dying on us (which was our backup for sleeping at night), only to be turned away again. I cannot understand why having a child on Medicaid constitutes the decision for people to get the proper assistance to avoid being on the streets. After tonight, we will be out on the streets again but this time without a car to sleep in. Shelters are full and the information 211 is a major problem with knowledge of what is really going on with shelters and social services.

M. B. of HUD was trying to give me direction but it always turned out the same way, NO HELP for the HOMELESS. I’ve asked about Rapid Rehousing and was told by Rachel Beatty with the program that someone is available on Wednesdays 7:30am to 3:30pm. After taking a bus for an hour arriving at 9:24am this am, I was told that they would not be at the Porter Center social services until 12:30. So while I was there, I spoke with Gloria Benson who stated that there was nothing she could do for me as far as a place to rest our heads due to my daughter was not on my Medicaid regardless of the fact that I have a signed notarized letter that states she resided with me from her father, whose Medicaid she is showing under. She stated that she has to go by what’s in the system from the main Social Services. She did, however, forward my name and number to Family Housing Counsel, who called me after I left in tears, only to tell me that there was no shelter beds or assistance available.

For the last 3 nights, I have been able to stay at a motel but after tonight, back to the streets without a car. Prior to the 3 nights, the last month and a half I was able to stay at a friend’s family’s home but she is on assistance and risked getting in trouble by the state for having boarders. I have all of my stuff at the motel, but after tonight, I will have to leave everything in order to fin for myself physically on the streets. My daughter is back at her father’s parents house, where he stays because I did not want her  on the streets as well.

I have food stamps but what good is that If I have no place to eat or store food??? I had a work at home commission based job, but what good is that if I have no place to get WIFI, sit down to work, shower, etc.?????

I haven’t put all that I’ve experienced during my hardship, but I have said enough for you to see my frustration and emotional stress level.

How can the Social Service system be justified allowing genuine hardships to become or be homeless regardless if they are a parent, single, a family, elderly, a couple, etc? All these categories need help.
I just feel that all the years that I worked and paid for others to get the help they needed, I’ve been failed by our “great” system)

Now living in a van in the heat, I am trying to still trying to get back on my feet. I had a job and due to the owner not paying us for our work, I lost everything, took what I had left and bought a van put all my salvageable belongings in it and drove to a state where I thought I could get better help. Now that is failing.

I’ve joked and said if I could get just 5000 people to send me $1 each, I could at least have a stable place, find a job since I will have an address, and pay some bills to regain my credit. I’m even looking for an RV to utilize as home if need be.

I am asking for help, any amount to get me to a point to get back on my feet.

My whole world crashed at the age of 11

I grew up a happy child. No, my siblings didn’t like me. I was the youngest, maybe that’s why. Though I got treated like crap by my siblings it was always one person who kept me together. My mother. She was the light of my life, she saw how they treated me and made sure that I knew I was special to her if not to them. Sadly my mother was very sick. She fell ill one week and one night she went into a diabetic coma and never woke again. My mom was really the one who kept the family together. The night she died was the night everyone drifted apart. I went to move in with a spiteful aunt. She didn’t like my mother so she took it out on me. I fell into a depression, grades started dropping. My aunt always told me I wasn’t gonna graduate. That I would end up pregnant and drop out. I proved her wrong yet she didn’t even come to my graduation. No one did. My aunt started telling me I had to give her money to stay there. Or I had to get out. Knowing I had no job. I had been applying but nothing. She would say I needed to pay her to shower and eat the food there. It was ridiculous. I had to move out. I then moved in with one of my sisters who had a girlfriend who didn’t take to me. So one day while my sister was out she started with me and hit me and then told my sister I started everything. Of course in the life that I live my sister would believe her. She kicked me out with nowhere to go. I have been staying at friends but I can tell my time here is limited. Please if someone can do anything to help. anything. I go some days without eating. I have personal things that I’m in need of. And I want to save up to get an apartment also with my partner. I have a little job right now but it pays so low. I need help. I need luck. I need something. Please. I’m in the worst depressive state I’ve ever been in in my life and the only thought, the only piece of happiness that I hold on to hopes that someday I will have an apartment of my own. Where I can start my own family and just be happy. A new life. Please if anyone can help. Even with a job. I’d be so grateful.

Migraines are going to cost me my Job

Hi, my name is Zach and I suffer from chronic migraines.  When most people think of migraines they just think of a bad headache, a minor inconvenience to their day or routine.

But for me migraines are a nightmare, with serious effects on my life.  I started getting migraines when I was 14-years-old but recently they have been increasing in frequency and severity.  My migraines now give me searing, crippling pain, accompanied with dizziness and vomiting, and they last for hours.  They usually last 6-8 hours but recently I had a migraine last 4 entire days!

Besides the crippling pain that keeps me confined to my bed I think the worst part about my headaches are how unreliable they make me, both in my professional and personal life.  I am constantly cancelling plans with my friends due to these headaches and it’s drawn me further away from them.  More urgently I have missed so much work recently that I am on the verge of losing my job.  I have used up all of my paid time-off for the YEAR and do not yet qualify for FMLA.  As such my managers have informed me that even with doctor’s notes, if I keep calling in sick, I could lose my job.  This has been incredibly stressful because I obviously do not plan to get headaches, so I feel like I live day-to-day, glad when I wake up without a headache and scared that if I do I might lose my job that day. 

So for now I am focusing on making it in to work every day.  Unfortunately because I had missed some work I am currently having some financial problems.  I am behind on payments for my car and loan.  And it totally slipped my mind but I also realized that I let my vehicle registration expire.  Which is perfect timing because I cannot afford to pay it, but I cannot keep driving illegally as well.  That car is my only mode of transportation, and I need it to get me to and from work.

I am recently seeing a new Neurologist and the treatment he started me on seems to be working, I have gone 9 days now without getting a headache.  For the first time in months I am starting to be hopeful that these migraines do not need to be a permanent part of my life.  If I lose my job now I will lose my medical insurance and won’t be able to afford this new treatment plan.

My goal is to raise enough money to pay my vehicle registration, as well as get me caught up on my bills.  If I can get past this immediate threat to my job and continue working and also receiving treatment, then hopefully my headaches will lessen and I can finally be a reliable worker and friend.

Thank you.

Just moved across the country

I just moved from Sierra vista Arizona to Georgetown sc. I am trying to get gas and food money. I do not have a job or vehicle and it is very hard to get either, as I am deaf. I have a disability check for 600 a month, but I spend 400 in rent, and the other 200 covers two loans I pay every two weeks. I can’t afford to pay someone gas to take me to get my medicaid so I can get a hearing aid, which would make it so much easier to get a job. My best option for work without a hearing aid is in myrtle beach, an hour north, or Charleston, an hour and a half south. Even then, I would need a ride, which would mean gas money until I get paid. I do not like to depend on my disability check. I despise having it, as I’d rather work a job and earn my money, not have it handed to me. But as fate would have it, I am deaf, and it’s extremely hard to get hired. I speak well and I understand better than most deaf people, but it still prevents me from gaining necessary skills or qualifications to get a decent job. I would love to go back to college to earn a degree, but it is too expensive. I have no family I can depend on, except my brother, and he can only give me rides when I can give him gas money, so long as it isn’t when he is at work, which is Monday thru Friday, all day. My bank account is in the negative more than $500, because I helped my ex girlfriend move into an apartment before I left Sierra vista. I do not have anyone to ask for help. Normally it’s everyone else who asks me for help. This is a first for me. While I was in Sierra vista, I had a decent job and I am used to living cheaply, so I didn’t mind helping others when needed. But now the tables have turned and it’s me that needs help. I am asking for donations to keep me fed and have gas money to be able to look for work and apply for medicaid, food stamps, and go see doctors.

 

Need help to be with my possibly dying fiance

Ok, this is hard. I dont like asking anyone for anything ever.

So, my fiance is currently on a job in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, and we live in Houston. Yesterday (7/23) my fiance collapsed at work and was taken to a nearby hospital where he was diagnosed with heat exhaustion,  severe dehydration,  and complete renal failure. The doctors have not said either way what his prognosis is, but right now he is not responding well to the treatments. He is currently alone at the hospital and I need to be there for him. I currently do not have a job due to a broken leg, and his income is the only thing that has been keeping us and our 2 children afloat. We have nothing left in savings, and nothing left of value to sell or pawn.

 

We are in URGENT need of help. I only need money for gas which i figured out to be about $100 for round trip, and a few days in a hotel…the cheapest I can currently find was a Super 8 with a total cost of $408 so I can stay there until Monday. I did add in a few extra dollars so I can grab some stuff for sandwiches and waters at the grocery store. So the total that I will need is between $500 and $600. But anything helps at all at this point.

 

I have no where else to turn, I have exhausted all options up until this point. Anything at all is helpful, and appreciated more than you will ever know. If he takes a turn for the worse, I dont want him to have to suffer and die alone. If nothing else, please pray for him. He is such a wonderful person, he doesn’t deserve to have this happen to him, especially being alone like this. Thank you

Starting Over After The Business I Worked For Ruined Me

I am 30 and having to start my life over in financial ruin.  I don’t believe in requesting government aid as I know there are people with disabilities and children out there that need those programs more than I do at this point.  I worked for a wonderful company for 3 years that I poured my heart and soul into managing. I’m single with no children and no pets. Overnight, the company I worked for raided the building and removed everything and skipped town.  They left me to be responsible for all the legal ramifications to follow and have vanished into thin air.  Because I had believed in the company, I had been willing to put my name on accounts and legal bindings. Now I’ve been left with the aftermath. I’ve tried to fight it and in the process, I’ve lost almost everything and am now in serious debt.  I even discovered the company had not been paying the bills covered under my job position for myself (cel phone, credit card, car, medical, etc).  I have been working nonstop to try to recover my life from this epic blow, but feel like I’m drowning. I work 4 jobs and put every penny towards the bills and try to live as bare bones and simply as possible. I have a car payment every month ($435) and have made a deal to pay the rears so I don’t lose the vehicle (luckily). The vehicle was purchased just recently so the option to trade down or sell is not a good option at this time.  I need it for work and transportation. The credit cards for the business purchases are a total of $17,000.  I am scraping by to pay the minimums, but the interest is killing me as if feels I’m making a snails pace of progress.  I am trying to stay afloat and get everything settled without it destroying my credit. I would like to buy some land to have a simple little home out in the countryside somewhere and now it feels as that is just a dream I will never reach.  I’m tired and I don’t know where to turn. I feel like I am never going to get out of this hole and get to experience all the amazing things life has4FA314D2-394D-4277-9BA8-FA502688A62A.png to offer.  I had read about this site and figured why not? It has taken a great deal of pride swallowing to ask for help, but I am backed into a corner at this point and don’t know what else to do. I do not want to file for bankruptcy and not be responsible for what is involved. I also don’t want to lose what little I have left.  I gave my heart to my job and business because that’s how I was raised.  Give 100% and do all things with passion.  I just can’t believe there are people and companies in the world who would do such a thing to an employee so dedicated.  Anyone out there willing to help, it is ever so appreciated, and thank you for taking the time to read this.
