Emergency Rental, Food, and Bills Assistance Programs

I’m not going to ask for a certain amount. I just need help whatever is on someone’s mind to do I will be grateful. I have been taking care of my dad for the past six years. His ailments included dementia, congestive heart failure, and renal failure. He was on medicare but they only paid for some things. I still spent a great deal out of pocket. I did a lot of unsavory things like taking out loans and credit cards to get by. As the years progressed and he got sicker, I had a choice to make keep my car or take care of my father. Though I didn’t want to lose my car it was a no brainier decision, I chose my father, my car got repossessed and I was heartbroken. Luckily I have a friend to allow me to drive her car so I could still work. Sadly, I lost my father in February of 2019 worst day of my life. My father is gone but im still paying back everything I got to help take care of him. The crazy part I have a brother that I share with my father that did absolutely nothing to help us. I can’t even get him to answer the phone for me now. I am truly alone since I am the outsider of my family and hardly talk to anyone. I work back breaking hours just to break even and try and keep a roof over my head and my lights on. I feel so bad that I do so much, have done so much and I still can’t move forward. I have ran out of ideas. I don’t know how far this will reach or if anybody would really help. There are so many stories out there, I am just one of thousands but I will never know what is out there if  I don’t ask. I will keep “P.U.S.H”ing (pray until something happens). Maybe my prayers will be answered from a stranger who knows. I don’t know what will become of this but I feel better that I have tried something before it is to late. Anything helps, I am grateful either way. Thank you in advance to anyone that helps, prays, or just shakes their head. I am humble and will continue to be that way through this storm Im going through. God bless

Hello,

Thanks for taking the time to read my story. My mother unexpectedly fell ill November of 2015. After several stays in the hospital over the course of 7 months, July of 2016 she came home to die. She was a retired nurse from Providence Hospital in Anchorage Alaska. She worked there over 40 years and was pushed into an early retirement due to her failing mental health (which was not discovered until later). Because of the suddenness of the retirement my mother did not have the chance to set her retirement affairs in order. What I mean by that is that she though she was going to leave a great sum of money for her family, but since a box wasn’t checked the hospital absorbed all of her money and not a dime was paid out to her beneficiary. That is where the problem truly started. Before she retired we purchased a home together and she believed when she passed her retirement would pay off the house me and her grandchildren would be able to stay there.

No such luck.. Not only did the retirement payout happen, my sister had dollar signs in her eyes. My sister had been shunned by the family for several years by the time mom passed due to her having an affair with the father of my kids for the 8 years we were together. She then proceeded to help him gain custody of my kids after he was released from a year stay in jail. Yikes, what was she thinking… oh that is right, they were in love. *insert sarcasm*. They did not get custody BTW. The judge practically laughed at them.

My sister thought the house paid in full, nope we were 5 years into a 30 year mortgage.  She also thought there was going to be a hefty retirement pay off. Nope, jokes on her, the million she thought that would be available simply wasn’t there. I attempted to explain these things to her, but she didn’t believe me. See, it was my fault her and mom did not have a relationship.. I am the one who put a gun to her head and told her to have an affair with my husband.

My sister did nothing to help the care of my mom, literally nothing. My current husband and I were 100% my moms caretaker. A job I did willingly. My mom was my best friend and I would do it again and again, no questions asked. When I got the horrible call from the Dt. saying there was nothing more they can do for her and it was time to come home for hospice, I turned in my two weeks notice so I can stay at home and be by her side through to the end. The day she passed I remember holding her hand and telling her I was going to be okay, and she can go to heaven now. One hour later she made that journey.

My mom had always told me that her funeral expensive were 100% paid for, which I found out after she passed to be untrue. No problem, I covered them using credit cards.. That is where the beginning of my debt started. I ended having to take on all bills that used to be split 3 ways and are not split two ways. Our house was fairly expensive because it was so large. It was a four bedroom house with a two bedroom mother in law for mom. So it was a struggle adjusting, especially now that I had to look for new employment as my old position had been filled.

Things were trucking along okay, but my sister persisted in selling the house and pushing the probate along. My brother was the oldest and was the executor of the estate, or so I thought. Apparently the only will we had was from 1998. I was also told that there was a current will and that it left my sister out, that was just as untrue as the funeral expenses being paid in full. So the will was contestable and boy did she contest, lawyer and all. My brother and I fought her for awhile, but then he ended up passing away less than a year after my mom passed. That left just me and her. Nope, surprise! Their dad (brother and sister’s dad, I have a different dad) was able to claim my brother’s portion of the estate. Whelp he lawyer-ed up too. So now I have both them against me and they are still both thinking that they were gonna to get hundreds of thousands of dollars. Still when I tried to explain they would not listen.

Here begins the second stage of my debt spiral. I was forced to get a lawyer myself so those two didn’t bully me out of my home. We ended up having to hire a non-biased third party to act as the executor (not cheap) because we could not meet on middle ground. This is when the executor discovered that Providence Hospital absorbed the retirement and that was not being paid out to the heirs. My sister and her dad was shocked, Heather was right! So they decided to attack the house and the court voted in their favor. I tried to fight for my home, nut since I couldn’t payout my mom’s portion of the down payout by the court mandated time, I was forced to move in 30 days and was still expected to pay the following months mortgage! How am I to find a place in 30 days, pay first and last months rent if needed (it was needed) and pay a mortgage.. That was 6k alone, and of course all on my credit cards.

That house was my mother’s dream. She wanted so badly to know that her daughter and grand-kids would grow old in this home. I pleaded and begged, but to know avail. They still thought the house was pad in full and that they would still several grand out of it. Nope, after everything was paid do you know how much the three of us will eventually get? (still in probate and thousands of dollars still owed to my lawyer?) 20k… that is it. I am not scoffing at the amount by any means, but that will not cover my debt that I put on all of my credit cards to keep the family and mortgage a float, that will barely cover most of my lawyer fees. I got a second job to help offset, but it has still been an incredible struggle and no end in sight. To put it simply, I need help!

Thank you so much for reading my story.

With Kindest Regards,

Heather

Hello, my name is Amy and I am a 43 year old hard working mother of 2, who has gotten into a bit of financial trouble because of payday loans.

This is the hardest thing I have ever had to do.  I am both embarrassed and ashamed that I have to ask complete strangers for help, but here I am pleading for help for my family.  About a year ago we were doing just fine financially, yes we struggled but we always made it through.  Well, an unexpected bill came in and the only to pay it and still make it to the end of the month was to get a payday loan,  well the next month I had to make a payment on the loan which put us behind again so I got another payday loan.  Every month we seem to have gotten further and further in debt because of them and now there is no way out.  All my paychecks go to paying these loans and it leaves us little left to feed my family and to afford gas to get to and from work everyday, and now that they are home all day because its summer break it makes it even harder to provide for them. We have had to borrow money from my parents but they are having a rough time right now and we are struggling to feed our kids everyday.  We live in a high poverty area and because I have a job that brings in about $1,500 a month we are not able to receive any assistance.  I am the only person in our household that is working right now, my boyfriend of 21 years has medical issues and is not able to work right now.  He is trying to get on disability but it is long and hard process.  We have 2 children that are 15 and 12, and the 15 year old is autistic, which is a struggle by itself.  We are not asking for much just enough to put food in our house and to pay our $900 power bill that is due to be shutoff at anytime now.  We have not been able to keep up with the bill over the long winter.  We just want to be able to go back to the way things were before the whole payday loan issues.  Any donations would be greatly appreciated and we than you in advance for anything that we receive.

It was early May. I had it made. My husband had a Saturday off for the first time in many months. I had it made. Because we had a happy healthy baby that I could sit on the floor with. Hold in my arms for more than minutes a day.

I had it made. Because we were going to get a new car soon after consolidating previous medical bills and school loans. I had it made. Because I could move without hardware all through the right side of my body.

On May 11th I was taking my small family in our only vehicle at the time to go have some family fun together. It was a rainy day. But we knew our 15 month old would love to go to a children’s inside playing area at our local mall. I had plans for so much more as my husband and I were also going to buy the car I wanted for Mother’s Day.

On our way to the mall. Which is normally about a 40 minute drive. We had been on the road for about 10 minutes. As the rain came pouring. The likes of which normally tell people to slow down. I did so. From the range of 55 to 45.

But not everybody thinks this way. And that is what changes lives. She lost her lane in a curve about half a mile back. Not knowing where she was of looking ahead as she was trying to maintain her lane.

Four vehicles avoided her before I could not. This due to the unfortunate scenario that I was in a lane pinned in between a car needing to turn on my left and a car riding around 48 to 50 mph on my right. Fast enough to get by me but not inherently dangerous.

I had the ability to slow down to 35 miles per hour and swerve my car just enough to get rammed in on my side of the car. In fact. This saved my life as well as my daughter and husbands life.

My daughter of 15 months made it out with bruising and my husband made it out with a broken sternum and broken hand. This is why I took the impact on my side of the car. Because they were on the passengers side of the vehicle.

I wouldn’t change a thing on this front. But because of this. I am in a wheel chair. I have had multiple surgeries and will need a few more to increase my quality of life.

I spent from late May til early June in rehab after being laid up in a hospital bed from the day of the accident. My husband unable to work did his best to help me with his broken hand and sternum as family took care of my daughter. It was around 31 days of mostly laying around with much pain and much suffering as many parts of my body ached from the idea of moving.

While we knew that buying a car would be impossible at this point as my husband tried to return to work but had to battle both my demons and his own. Causing him to need more time off to learn to take care of my daughter.

Our renters did not allow us a free month of rent or anything of the such. It’s a business in the end, but as time passes these things add up along with money to get food for our daughter and pay for help outside of family for care of our daughter.

So upon the time we were closing in on my leaving rehab I had to borrow a car to leave and it wasn’t pleasant. It was indeed very hard to get back on the road. But I thought about how the scariest time I ever drove in truth was when I brought my baby home from the hospital after she was born.

Rehab was not at all simple easy or painless. But also couldn’t be compared to what happened when we got home. Because it was like nothing was meant to be right and I almost thought to beg to return to rehab.

My apartment we have at the time does not had a wheelchair ramp. Nor did my wheelchair fit in any of the doorways when I came home. My husband did his best to remove doors and door-frames. But it isn’t exciting.

Many things I simply cannot do. Whether it is because of pain or the wheelchair. But the hardest was changing from a stay at home Mom to not being able to do near as much with or for my daughter. My husband of course needs to go back to work as he is recovering and we need money. But this also means I will need help and funds to pay help.

With all of this. The need for a vehicle with access to a wheelchair, the need for a better living situation and help to get somebody to car for my baby. I cannot thank enough in advance. Everything is welcome and I thank you for any help given.

 Good morning my name is Toni Long and this is something that I thought I would never do or have to do I am definitely a giver more than I taker that does not mean I’m better than anybody else by far it only means that I am not used 2 asking for any help whatsoever I told very thankful I live in a three-story townhouse I have all of my family with me meaning my kids and two other kids that I raised one of which is my stepdaughter who no longer has her mother I have erased her since she was two and the other of which is my cousin who has a mother that is addicted to drugs so to get right to the point my life has been nothing but struggles and abuse physically and mentally and so on my kids are very special to me they have always been there for me no matter what the situation I have been through a lot of mental abuse also and it just does not seem fair as soon as I climb up the mountain I always get Kick Back Down mostly because of medical issues I’ve had a number of blood clots two of which almost took my life just recently had to have a stent removed for my stomach and I lost my job and my car because of the surgery and the medical issues if it was not for churches and some organizations around my area I don’t know what I would do at this point I am 49 years old I have a degree a certificate but can only do certain types of work and no one seems to be hiring in that area and even if they were I have no way to get there and I have no money to even take a taxi or an Uber and my mother and father both are deceased I have lost them within the last 4 years due to cancer and my family is small and again I’m not one to ask for help what about my business out there but my kids are suffering all the other kids are taking vacations having cookouts going to the pools having a great summer I hate watching them suffer wondering what you’re going to feed your kids every day and how you’re getting from place to place and how you’re paying your bills just really stinks especially at my age taking on the two extra people in my home something I did because that’s me I’m a very caring and giving person always have been but it has caused a financial stress something of course I would never tell them because I love them both as I love my own kids I might not be the best mother but I definitely try my best sometimes it is very hard for me to get even out of bed every morning but I know that I have to be there Rock so I am writing this message and hopes that you could help I am not sure how to do this or what I’m supposed to do other than doing this and opening a PayPal account and I’ve never done that before so I’m not even sure if you can help how that works I do have a link but I’m going to send you I just want to thank you for your time and hopefully your consideration and helping my family and myself through these tough times whoever you are wherever you are you have to be an amazing person to do something like this and I hope your blessings are great thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Coming from a large family, growing up was difficult. I am the youngest of 10 and both my parents worked long hours to provide for us. It was at a early age that I decided to work and help my mother out with all the expenses of the house hold. I would accompany my mother to her job and help her with laundry, dishes, cooking and all the house hold duties. My mother and I were very close and she was the one person that would listen and give me advice.

My spark for nursing started about 10 years ago. At the moment I was living with my parents. I enlisted to college and was planning to take nursing classes after I graduated from High School. Graduation finally arrived and I was excited to begin my first year of college. After completing all the pre requisites for the course I was accepted into the college.

Every Monday through Friday I would drop my mother off at her job. She was working at the Middle School as a janitor at the time. One day I noticed her eyes were yellow. I was working at a nursing home at that time and I mentioned it to a nurse. She alerted me that it was signs of jaundice and to take my mother to see a doctor ASAP.

After all the lab tests and scans later the doctors diagnosed my mother with pancreatic cancer. It was shocking news to the whole family and the cancer had spread to the point where surgery was no longer an option. We decided to fight the cancer with radiation and chemo. After four years of witnessing my mother’s health and spirit decline, she lost the fight. It was the most difficult and painful experience I’ve ever undergone. Not only was she my mother but she was my best friend.

Soon after she passed away the memory of my mother was something I could not cope with at the time. I moved out of my parents home and proceeded to live in my own apartment. When people tell you that it’s difficult to live on your own and become an “adult” they are not joking. I worked two jobs to make ends meet for several years. My dreams of becoming a nurse seemed to fall further and further away.

Finally I mustered the courage to apply for college again even though my expectations of passing the rigorous entrance exam was low. To my surprise I passed with just enough to get me a spot in the course! All my time spent studying in between jobs finally paid off. Unfortunately due to bills piling up, credit card debt and without any family to help I cannot afford to attend college. I’m a very stubborn person and refuse to ask for help but I’m finally at the point where I’m desperately in need of financial help.

My dream of saving lives and helping all of those who are in need seems to be a dream I will never accomplish. I’ve been working extra shifts but I still do not have enough to cover the tuition costs as well as the credit card debt I have accumulated. The course itself is $16,000 and my credit cards are adding up to $10,00. I’m desperately in need of help and the course is due to begin this August. I know this is a long shot but I will be forever grateful for those who can help. Thank you if you read this to the end and I pray that God will answer my prayers. Have a blessed day!

Where to start? I’ve had a series of misfortunate events. Leaving me with no money, rough living conditions, physical pain, and almost hopeless at this point. It all started with a hail storm. I’m living in a camper in a driveway in Colorado that has no way to heat up, cool off, or keep me out of the wind and rain. One afternoon a hail storm come through that left me wet to say the lest. I’m seating there and the next thing I know im being covered in water in the bed I’m relaxing in.  The hail did a number on the sky light/vents, leaving them shattered or completely missing. The camper literally had water running down the inside of the walls for several hours as I recall. The camper was not a total lost; so I decided to to repair the damage….

During the time of repairs; I was not able to stay in the camper, so I have been doing everything from staying with friends to renting motels. At this point; past the camper, life as far as stress level and money was ok. I had to pick up as much possible over time  at work to cover the additional cast of the repairs and the renting of rooms. Around about the two week mark of this ordeal I was unfortunately let go from my job. I had only been at my job for about two months. The job itself had a 90 day probationary period. That allowed them to give me no reason why I was let go other then I was over qualified for the job. To top things off there was no way to collect unemployment as well. This is when the snowball started rolling down hill…

I need to make a side note. I am a machanic by trade and a handyman (if you will) by night. lol! I’m mentioning this because I am the one doing the repairs/fixing the camper.

So no job and no fixed camper at this point.  Due to overtime that’s i was working, I was only able to work a couple hours a night after work; about 2-3 nights a week. I was able to at least cover the vents with plexiglass to at least keep some of the wind and there rain out. But I have not been able to do anything else repair wise cause I am not able to pay for the 3 vent and 2 skylights.

To top everything off 2 weeks ago I was out working on the camper eating some food in the midst of working when my back molar in my mouth cracked in half. I have not been able to even see a dentists at this point sense I have no insurance. It’s still pretty sensitive and it’s very hard to eat. When eating food, particals of food will get lodged in between my gum and the broken part of the molar causing swelling and pain. I have no idea if the tooth can be saved or if I need to pull it… My stress level is helping out zero in my situation.

I don’t know what else I can do at this point past asking for help. Any help with any of my issues will be more then appreciated.

I thank you for taking the time to read this. I will pay it forward to others just as you guys may do for me when I get back on my feet. Anything will help.
Peace and love

Hello,

I would like to say it shames me to do this greatly. If I had any other option available I would take it, but I am sinking and I do not know where else to turn. To keep it simple I will start by saying I have been recently diagnosed with a rare illness called Ehlers Danlos syndrome. It is a connective tissue disorder that causes a number of different issues that not everyone with the illness experiences. My person situation with EDS has rendered me unable to work, due to frequent joint dislocations, severe chronic pain, and issues with my immune system that cause me to be frequently sick. Because of this I have become unemployed, desperately waiting to see if I qualify for disability. This is unfortunate, because not only do I have an illness, my mother is also chronically ill with an autoimmune disorder, and I am her primary caregiver. The money we receive from my father every few weeks is not enough to cover the bills, and one by one our utilities are being shut off due to the inability to pay, and we are unable to afford my medicine which is not covered by Medicaid. I fear that soon we will be living without lights and water, and starving. We also have four dogs that require food and vetting. Again I say, it pains me to have to ask anyone for money, especially strangers in the internet, but I fear I have no other option at this point. All I really ask is enough to pay off the balances of our bills, buy medicine, and feed us for a couple months, which would take roughly $1,500-$2,000 as I have painstakingly calculated. I am hopeful that will be all we will need. Any donation given is much appreciated, and I can promise I will pay it forward the moment I am capable. I thank anyone who took the time out of their day to read this, and if you donate, you are an angel sent from heaven. Thank you. 

I’m am 28 and I have recently escaped from a 3 year very abusive relationship that I almost didn’t make it out Several times I can only thank GOD that he allowed me to have the strength to pull through and now that I finally had the chance to run and take my kids and animals safely the stress of not having a stable home or income is overwhelming and the money I had saved up to break free from the traumatizing toucher life I was stuck in is all gone … I have been traveling day by day only to struggle to pay for hotels to keep my children and animals safe and feed .Im really to my breaking point mentally and emotionally…..I keep strong for the kids but I am afraid I might crack soon if a miracle isn’t headed my way…and I give .thanks to anyone for any financial help ….GOD BLESS Us ALL AMEN

Hello, my name is Erika, and I am a mom of three girls 6,4, and 1.  I stopped working two years ago due to the cost of daycare. My husband works very hard and as much over time as he can (he’s been working twelve hours a day 6 days a week for the 6 weeks to try and catch us up). Unfortunately, we still haven’t been able to make ends meet recently.

We have had quite a few unexpected bills lately including dental ($3700), medical bills, and a few automotive repairs (one was a nail in the tire) and as of right now my bank account is overdrawn, our rent is late, and I need groceries. We typically do just fine and do not need help, but the last two months have been very trying.  Our families are unable to help much but have bought some diapers and milk for us.

I am not requesting this money to pay off any credit cards or medical bills. It is just simply to get us back on track and offset the large dental bill and automotive bills that wiped out what we had saved.  I am desperately trying to keep our family afloat; with this money I can catch up on back bills and not have to go deeper in debt by using a credit card to buy food and gas for my husband to get to work.  We just got paid on the 21st and do not have anything left. I have nothing left to sell, coins to cash in, or any other way to bring in money right now.  Since my husband works so much, we are unable to apply for assistance from the state (which we really didn’t want to do since normally we can provide for ourselves just fine).

I am asking for $3000 to cover the amount of rent, utilities, our overdrawn account and gas and groceries for the next two weeks, honestly any amount would be a blessing.  I have attached a copy of our most recent surprise bill (auto bill), utilities, and the dental bill that wiped us out.  Any help is greatly appreciated, and I will never be able to thank you enough for helping my family.  I am concerned about what to do and I’m not sure if this will work but I desperately want to ensure my kids at least have food.

Hello my name is Yarina and my partners name is Chayanne our pride and joy is little Logan and we need some help. I have never done anything like this before but we are currently at our wits end with what to do with our finances. My partner works but unfortunately we live paycheck to paycheck and had a unexpected expense come in (car troubles) and we HAVE to have our car that’s how he gets around for work as he’s always on the move for his job(helper at the moment for an elevator company) Our car just started having less and less power each time we drove it and at first it was the oxygen sensor which we replaced and fixed then that wasn’t it it was more mechanical so we had to take it to the shop pay for that the overnight the labor the pieces (fuel pump) and the total of that and having to have our car towed 3 separate times because we THOUGHT it was fixed we thought it was just the oxygen sensor but it was something else as well which we were able to get fixed thank god but that’s 2,000$ we really did not have to spend, because of that my partner and I haven’t eaten in 1week(well not completely starving bread,crackers,LOTS AND LOTS RICE) but that’s all run out and the rest of the food is for our son, I rather starve then have him go hungry even for a few minutes, he’s our world and we are trying so hard, I really am looking for work but even if I did work we couldn’t afford daycare, we have one car so I can’t look for work other than online and it’s been hard due to my record I acquired in my past due to very VERY poor choices, choices I still have to deal with to this day(not finding work) I was drug addict and made horrible choices in life and sometimes I feel that my every day struggles is my karma in life for being such a horrible daughter sister etc overall just a shitty human being, BUT that’s the past and I’ve been clean for 4years now. Then on my 1st year clean I found the love of my life and we had our beautiful baby boy and life has been such a blessing since. Mind you we struggle here n there like any young couple does (I’m 27 he’s 28) but this time it’s so different, I haven’t had a night of good sleep wondering where our next meal will come from or how my partner will make it throughout work with no gas $ and we have had some real luck finding food drives here n there or just nice people who help us out if we got stranded at a gas station but there’s so much that little help here n there can do we knew we had to do it ourselves but life happens and sometimes you do need a helping hand. I hate asking for help since that was ALLLLL I ever did ask people for $ for my addiction so now people aren’t too ready to help me if you get what I mean, and I can’t even be mad because I understand and I probably wouldn’t give myself $ either but I have 4years clean under my belt that has to count for something? So my parents refuse to help us which again that’s not their problem but it was something we couldn’t avoid it just happened it was the cards we were dealt so we are trying to make the best of those cards. Things have gotten so bad I even considered becoming a sugar baby or selling my nudes to men just so my son and husband can eat, and my 3 dogs , yes I have 3 dogs ones a rescue and 2 belonged to my in-law who unfortunately passed and they had no where to go and I can’t turn away any dogs AT ALL I have used my lunch $ to feed strays and gone hungry all day because they probably needed it more than I did. I use to feed strays and rescue them all the time but due to recent financial strain I haven’t been able to do the 2nd thing I love most, the 1st being with my two special boys. My partner is a good man he tries his hardest to make things work he sells his blood pawns things left n right does WHATEVER it takes to make sure our son has everything he needs but lately it’s been hard because we just can’t get out of this hole we got into because of the car and it feels like we will never escape this hole. Our sons birthday passed and we couldn’t do anything for him and I spent his birthday crying and hating myself for being such a bad mom even tho my husband tells me I’m the best mom I can be I KNOW I can be better but we are just stuck in this hole, no matter how much we put in something happens and sets us back and the best part is right after the car problems our 1300$ rent was due and THAT made the hole even deeper. We aren’t asking for much we just need enough to get us out of this hole, jump start our lives again so we can be a family, my husband and I argue all the time we are depressed and look like skeletons from not eating so our son and dogs can eat we are just losing our minds and have no idea how to get out of this hole because I can’t work, im the reason we don’t have to pay a ridiculous daycare fee because if he was in daycare forget about it I don’t think my husband and I would even be together and that’s honestly our next step. Having to leave our place and split up our family until we can get back on our feet me with my grandma and him with his dad and I don’t want that, I can’t imagine a day without him thinking about that now is making me cry because he’s my soulmate even if we struggle and he can’t give me the world idc I just want him and my son that’s all I want I don’t want us to separate I love my family and feel so useless being stuck at home and I can’t even work from home because we have no WiFi we can’t afford it we have nothing just my phone to watch tv and shows on. We only have one working AC unit because we can’t afford another one it just all adds up to a horrible time all because of that ONE UNEXPECTED BILL. My husband doesn’t even know I’m doing this he would be so upset he’s a man with a lot of pride but I just want to do ANYTHING to help him I mean ANYTHING hence the mention earlier of me even willing to entertain a lonely man for exchange of $$ but I just can’t do it, my husband is the only man I want looking at me or even thinking of me in that way, so I googled how to earn quick money and came across a link that’s for people who want to help others out and I figured I’d give it a shot. Hopefully my story compelled someone to lend us a hand because at this point anything helps even a 1$ helps :/ just want to get back to the old us, I want to be able to say “hey let’s take logan to the beach today” something that doesn’t cost $ like that but we can’t even afford the gas to head to the beach because that gas is for work only, I don’t remember the last time I left this house to have a family outing, because even before the 3,300 grand we were already living paycheck to paycheck so we never got out much but we did have those special occasions and now we don’t do anything but stay at home in the dark to save electricity so our bill isn’t high just sitting on our phones researching ways to make $ or me looking for ANYTHING I can do from home that doesn’t require WiFi and a laptop but pretty much every job requires that unless you want to sell your nudes to men which I don’t lol. I just want my life back I want the old me back I’m depressed every single day I want my husband back he’s always working to support us and when he’s home he’s just stressed and sad and it kills me because I can’t do anything, I know he tells me that I am helping him by staying home with Logan because we can’t afford daycare but i don’t care I still feel useless and he’s my partner he’s going to tell me whatever he has to to make me happy and not feel sad and I love him so much for that and I just want him happy, I just want him to not struggle anymore and be able to take ONE day off because now we are out of this hole so we can take a breather and enjoy our son to the fullest and give him the things he deserves. Anything helps….

Hello, my name is Mary and I am a third year college student at NKU. I go to school full time, work part time, and on weekends I take care of my elderly aunt with dementia.

My story is not a happy one. My sister passed away in a car accident four years ago, right after she passed away we also lost my grandmother to Alzheimer’s, she had been living with us in our care since I was 14. My father was so struck with grief and shock )as we all were) that he had a heart attack and almost lost his life. At that point I had to drop out of school and move home to help my mother take care of my dad and just get through all of it.

This January I finally was able to re-enroll in school to finish my degree, but after only one semester back, we received word from my mom’s doctors that she has stage 4 lung cancer. Needless to say, my dad is not in the best condition still to be caring for her alone. I am doing everything in my power to keep myself afloat and still help my family.

My mother is and always has been my best friend. We have taken road trips across the country together and adventures all over. She is my rock and my entire fortitude. I can not imagine my life moving forward without her.

I need financial assistance at this point. Barring my dropping out of school again, the only other sacrifice I can make is to stop working. But if I stop working I won’t be able to pay my own bills and this become more of a financial burden on my already debt riddled and ill parents.

Most pertinent right now, is my car payment and the gas I have been using to drive the three hours back and forth between my parents home and my university. I believe I could make $1000.00 last until next school semester starts (in less than two months) and then I will be able to take out an additional loan to cover myself.

If anyone one out there is willing and able, please consider donating to my cause. Anything and everything is helpful and welcome.

This is my husband, his name is Dan, he is currently in the hospital with a very bad infection.  He thought he had a cold the whole week before our vacation, he was sleeping all the time and very weak but the day before we left for Busch Gardens, he said he was feeling better.  Well, as it turns out, that wasn’t the case, I think he was really acting better than he actually was.  That first day we were at the park, he started complaining of pain in his back and into his hip.  A little background on his hip issue, he injured his hip in a skiing accident years ago, as far as his back, he injured that when our son was two because he slipped on icy stairs and held on for dear life to our baby taking the brunt of it on his back.  So he has issues sometimes with it. We got him some ibuprofen and went on about the day.  The next day, he couldn’t get out of bed that morning he was hurting so bad, so we thought he pulled a muscle.  It was at this point we noticed a swelling in his hand, he thought maybe he hit it during the night or something and he’s pretty stubborn so we took a day off from the park and I took my boys to Ripley’s Museum.  Well, when we got back he was no better, I went to Wal-Mart, cuz they are everywhere, and got him a bunch of stuff, Bio-Freeze, Ibuprofen, Tylenol, Warming Patches, Lidocaine patches, and even a tens unit.  Nothing helped.  I begged him to go to the Emergency room then but he wouldn’t because he said, and this broke my heart, that he didn’t want to ruin my and the boy’s vacation. So Sunday, we tried to go back to the park and he tried to go even though he could barely walk.  After a short time, he told us to go and he would be fine on his own, he ended up sitting over in Ireland watching the shows.  Well after a few hours, we came to check on him and he was noticeably pained so we decided to leave.  After going back to the hotel, he was so miserable, he wouldn’t eat or anything, it was awful, I asked him did he want to go so we could go to the doctor, he said no.  Well, we ended up leaving Monday morning and I drove home since he couldn’t even drive.  He didn’t want to go to the doctor at the time, he said he would wait a day or two then if it wasn’t better he would go.  So Wednesday, June 8 was my oldest son’s High School graduation, so when I went to see if Dan was going, he couldn’t move or dress and FINALLY admitted he needed to go to the hospital.  I got a friend to drive him so that I could see my son walk and got a text from him right after my son received his Diploma saying that he was septic and had a severe infection.  So I rushed to the hospital not knowing how bad it was.  So after this everything happened pretty fast.  No antibiotics at Lewis Gale made it better, they came up and said he needed a hip replacement which was strange to me because he hadn’t had a whole lot of problems from it but anyway, that’s what they said.  So after being there two weeks with no improvement, only worsening, they sent him to UVA.  Once there, they discovered, he has a vegetation in his bicuspid valve in his heart, his lungs are full of infection pockets, his hip actually was full of infection which is where most of the pain was coming from.  He had to have surgery on the hip like two days after being there.  They ended up removing a part of his hip flexor joint and parts of the head of his femur because of the infection.  He won’t need a replacement, but it will be a while before he will be able to walk normally.  So when he was a kid, he was allergic to cillins so Lewis Gale never tried them, UVA, however, gave him an allergy test and found out that he is no longer allergic and put him on a penicillin-type antibiotic.  It has helped tremendously!  They will still have to take care of his heart but they are hoping the rest will heal with this antibiotic.  I have health insurance but it isn’t made for this, it is a wellness plan.  He will have to go to a transitional hospital after this for at least 8 weeks for physical rehabilitation and IV antibiotics.  There is no way I can afford these bills, not to mention my own bills at home.  My rent is 1150, my electric 196, my gas 50, my phone 99, my water bill is always right around 70, plus I have loans for 261 and car insurance at 99, and my renter’s insurance at 30 so my total monthly bills are $1985.  I make $35000 on salary from my job, but after health insurance, dental, vision, and taxes, I only bring home $913 every two weeks.  So I am left with a bill balance of $136/month and that doesn’t even include gas to and from work and groceries.  I am trying to find another job on top of my regular one but it’s difficult with my hours.  I just got the first Lewis Gale bill in the mail and it’s over $2800 after insurance and that was just the first one. I really need help.   I am trying to be positive and trying to pray and do the right thing and even I am trying to get a roommate to help, but so far I have had no luck and I can’t lose the house, my lease isn’t up until next March and I gave a $2200 security deposit, that I can’t lose by breaking the lease, not to mention the fact that I won’t be able to pay a security deposit on another place.   I can’t get help from Social Services because my pre-tax, pre-insurance income is too high even though my bills exceed my income.  I really need help.  I am drowning and I just want to get my head above water.  Please, I have never done anything like this and I wouldn’t if it wasn’t a desperate situation.  Please if you can find it in your heart to help, I would greatly appreciate it.  Thank you so much!  I will post pictures of my bills as I can, the first couple are my electric, gas, and water, I have to be at home to find my lease with my rent payment but I want you to have optical verification of everything I am telling you.

We are a family of 3 in need of some temporary financial help until we can get caught up on our bills and both become employed full time. Once a family that had it all, we are now struggling to not become homeless after a tragic accident.

In 2018, my husband was accused of hit and run on a child. The local news came to the site and recorded him being taken to jail and then plastered it all over the 6:00pm and 11:00pm local TV news. We were devastated. We had had a very successful small business that slowly melted to nothing after most of his clients sought business elsewhere because of this bogus story. We did have a few that hung on and believed him, but it wasn’t enough to keep us going. Essentially we lost our home (it was foreclosed on), our vehicles were repossessed and neither of us could find work. We ended up moving to a different city when a friend offered us some help, but we are still struggling to maintain the basics.

We finally our over the whole legal process where I am happy to say that the truth finally came out and the family admitted that my husband did not hit the child and drive off. They admitted to the judge that he stopped and offered assistance, called the police and ambulance himself and waited until their arrival, however, this didn’t keep us from losing everything during the process of trying to prove his innocence!

Currently, my husband is working, but it doesn’t pay enough to cover all the bills, plus food. I have been applying everywhere for jobs, but nothing has come up that will allow me to be able to take care of our 7 year old son and work; I have started looking for 3rd shift positions so that I can be with him during the day and my husband can be with him at night.

We just paid last months rent (due on June 1st) yesterday, June 23rd. July’s rent for $750 is due the first and we have a electric bill of $600 due this Friday, June 28th. Our water bill is soon due and we do not have any money for groceries, gas or personal purchases such as soap, toilet paper, etc..

Any help, although needed immediately, would be appreciated and guaranteed to be paid forward once we get back on our feet.

This month hasn’t been my best month. Three weeks ago I was a victim of domestic violence. My significant other attacked me and injured me so bad I ended up in the hospital from a blow to the chest. A week later I was in a car accident (the fault of the other driver) and I injured my back, ACL, rotator cuff and wrist. As a result I missed quite a few days of work and now I’ll have to take hours off weekly to go to PT, appointments, and to reset. The copays from the doctors appointments, my deductible and having to miss work on the bad days has put quite a financial strain on me. So far I’ve spent nearly $2000 on the aftermath of both incidents and now I have only $26 left in my bank account with a whole slew of bills coming up along with my sons birthday. I hate asking for money or even having to borrow money, but I’ve exhausted all the resources I know of. I don’t know what else to do and I do not have family to even ask to help. I’ve spoken with my attorney and my case won’t settle for months at least. Any amount you can contribute would be greatly appreciated… I just need to be able to get through the next few months and heal up like I need to without having to take on any extra jobs. Thank you so much in advance. I can’t wait to be at a place to pay it forward. God Bless!

I’m sorry. I’m not one for doing this, but I am desperate. My husband is a hard worker; he’s a truck driver and he works so much that he’s hardly ever home. He’s been driving for 5 years now, but unfortunately, he’s truck broke down and hasn’t been able to really work. His truck broke down the first week of May (luckily he was already in our hometown when it happened) and it stayed out of commission for 2 weeks. After they claim it’s been fixed, my husband leaves and the next day calls saying that his truck lit up on fire for a bit. He’d returned from grabbing his  diesel receipt from the Pilot when he saw 2 other drivers putting out a fire on the back of his truck (the back of his truck that hooks to the trailer) and yet after a quick check up and he keeps going. He returns back home with his AC busted among other things I didn’t understand. So, he stays for almost the entire week again waiting for the repairs to be finished. He’s back on the road again but being out of work for 3 weeks has really put us in a corner with our bills. When his truck first broke down we had the sense to pay our rent and car early because we were afraid the repairs would take long so better to be safe than sorry and it’s a good think we did; the only thing now is that our other bills: light, phone bills, car insurance and our own insurances are still pending to be paid. We can ask our life insurance providers to wait a bit, and our light company “waits” by charging $20 after every late day. The others won’t wait at all. My husband gets paid once he gets back home and that’s after he’s delivered the necessary paperwork and since he just left…he won’t be back until the 30th or the 1st of July and by then we will lose the car insurance, phones and the waiting charge for the light bill will be at $80 on the 30th and $100 on the 1st. I am sorry and embarrassed, but I don’t know what else to do.

I am a single mother of three children in a really tough situation.  I was renting a house in Milford CT for about four years.  The landlord decided to increase the rent from 1600 to 1850 and gave me 60 days notice of this change.  I tried my best to negotiate with her on the increase, but she stated it was not negotiable.  I told her I was not able to afford this type of money and would like a month to month lease until I secured a home for my children.  She stated that this would not be able to be done and she gave me 30 days to move out with my children.

Stressed out i begged my parents to let us stay at their home because I had no where else to go.  I was in a process of buying a home and was counting on my security deposit of 3200 to secure this transaction.  I pleaded with the landlord that I needed to secure my kids home and how soon would I expect the return of my deposit.  She told me she had 30 days and it would not be a day sooner.  When I received the check it totaled 200.00, and I lost the new home that I was going to get because of lack of funds.  I started a small claims case against her for charging me for scratches on the hardwood for and for repainting the home.  I just found out that she is now trying to counter sue me for 2744 the cost of labor for normal wear and tear.

I am here begging for money to help me come up with 10000 for a down payment on a new home for my children.  Right no we are at my parents house but there is not enough room and my stuff is at storage that I am paying 225 a month for .  Please help me come up with this money.  I work full time and attending College for my Nursing degree so I will be able to provide for my children.  Please help I started driving Uber at night to come up with this money and I am completely exhausting myself.  Please help any amount will be greatly appreciated.

Hello, I am 40 years old, married, and a father of 3 beautiful daughters. In March of this year I was a passenger in a car that was in a car accident and I broke my collar bone and a 3 ribs, along with cuts and severe bruising and a concussion. I had only been at my job for 1 month when I was in the accident and since I could not report to work they filled my position and let me go. Needless to say we are way behind on bills, rent (2 months behind), and even getting food in the house. Since my doctor cleared me to be able to work again I have been interviewing every place that has a for hire sign up. I was just offered a job today and they want me to start on Monday June 24th. This is where I need the help. The new job is 40 minutes from our home and since I have been out of work I wasn’t able to keep up on the car insurance payments and I am 2 months behind and for this new job I need to show I have car insurance because I will be traveling between 4 different facilities. With the payments we are behind and late fees we owe $544.37 I know it’s a lot but I only need $344.37 to get fully caught up and get my insurance activated again and I can get back to work and get my family back on our feet. I am willing to pay every dime back once I have a few paychecks come in but I can’t get the car insurance taken care of then I won’t be able to start this job next Monday.

The last year has been hard with one of my daughters having some health problems, we were already living check to check and we have been down to one car for 8 months so this vehicle is our life line even beyond this job. Any help would greatly be appreciated, I really need to start this job before we get any further into debt than we already are. My whole world revolves around my girls and I need really need this to start being able to take care of them like a father should.

Thank you for taking the time to read this I hope this works, and God Bless. If you do give and would like to be paid back put it in the notes on paypal when sending the money and I will repay as soon as I can.

I write this from a motel room while my children sleep, and I’m trying to think of anything that will keep us from sinking even further.

I am a Mother of 2 great boys who have been traveling a bumpy path last few years, but appreciate being alive and the blessings we do have.

Rewind 6yrs and you would see I owned a great home that I worked very hard for, as well as every we ever had. I am a Nurse by profession and couldn’t imagine doing anything else.

Long story short….

My youngest was a surprise while married to my husband at the time. I extremely hard pregnancy, and when I had to go on bed rest for 7mths, unable to work, well he was gone. I was gifted a child that I was told the whole pregnancy would never make it.

Moving fwd, 2 yrs ago I was diagnosed with brain tumor, after blacking out on way home from work, and found having seizures. I After wasn’t allowed to drive, work, or even take a bath unless supervised. Three rounds Gamma knife, and chemo was the extent of public interactions. Sadly, when you soon realize the people you helped, or needed things from you soon disappear. You really learn who is real in your life.

I wasn’t able to work for 1 1/2 years and  we lost our home (foreclosed), watched our car get towed away, and accumulated a never ending stack of medical bills.

We moved to a very modest 1 bdrm rental and we had been making the best of it for we still had eachother, and I always stress to the boys that we never give up, and work hard for what we want to achieve.

Although hard to admit, I’m not what I used to be for my body is still healing. Before I would hold no less than 2 jobs and would push myself as hard as I could and was the one who helped others, and couldn’t ask others for any kind of help. Pride and independence not always great personality traits.

Well today, although very humbling, I need help. The rental, our home was completely destroyed along with our belongings, with exception of a few clothes we packed.

The owner has basically been a ghost, and has lacked any character to put it kindly.

FEMA stated due to the property type, the owner would have to iniate the clean up and claim per his insurance.

I would like to say I had rental insurance, but since we are starting over, that was a luxury I    wasn’t able to afford yet.

We stayed at church shelter for a bit and then we received motel vouchers which was very kind. Tomorrow, Saturday, June 15th at 11am we have to check out. I am asking for help to secure at least 3 weeks motel so boys will be safe, and  I can get back to work. My oldest is 17 and can watch his brother who has Asbergers and I couldn’t leave alone at shelter for it was causing great anxiety, not to mention his biggest fear severe weather and he had just lost another “safe haven”, his home.

So, even though I am falling apart on the inside, they don’t know. I haven’t said anything about tomorrow being the day we have to check out, or that I have around $7 to my name.

I am asking for around $800 for a room and I will get right back out there to support my family. Without a doubt, it will be paid fwd once we get up again. We don’t have anyone left here, just us but we are alive, and that is a blessing.

I thank you for your time and wish good health, and peace for you and yours.
