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.

Please read….

I was a Homemaker, A great wife and a great Mother. I did all the old fashioned tasks like Baking, Sewing, Knitting, Cooking, Cleaning, School Runs etc. 9 years ago I left my husband, after almost 30 years of marriage, but only when I was certain my only daughter was safely away in college and not in need of me anymore. At that time I was heavily depressed which skewed my view on my marriage and caused me to make the wrong decision of leaving him and the family home. As a result my husband divorced me and both he and my daughter ostracised me and still to this day won’t communicate with me or help me in any way.

Shortly after my divorce, our family home was sold and I received half of the sale price, which was not very much as the country try was in deep recession and the housing market had dropped considerably. I still had enough to buy a very small apartment but unfortunately while I was looking for the right place, I met, what I thought at the time, a charming business man who offered me the opportunity of investing in various projects which would bring in more than I needed to buy a decent apartment, renew my medical insurance (which I had to forfeit with my divorce) and of course, run a car. For this I left my Country, temporarily but I never got to return. Needless to say, no business deals ever happened and this man cheated me out of every cent I had and when all my capitol was used up, abandoned me. Over the years I discovered that this man is a psychopath, others noticed it but unfortunately I didn’t, until it was too late.

So, here I am, left on my own in a foreign, hostile country with nothing. I don’t qualify for any kind of welfare and cannot visit the local hospital without paying a nominal fee up front. I have just turned 60 this year and with that am accumulating various ailments, thankfully most of them small but I still have to deal with anything on my own as I don’t have funds for doctors fees or any medication. Also 3 years ago I lost most of the sight in one of my eyes but luckily enough the eye, from an aesthetic point of view, still looks perfect. When given the opportunity I can still sew and do crafts using a desktop magnifying glass, so it hasn’t hindered my creativity. I used to be able to look after myself very well, always dressed well, had great teeth and hair but now everything has changed to the point that even some of my back teeth are breaking and causing a lot of pain but visiting a dentist isn’t possible and I don’t have money to buy pain killers.

I have a very small token income from my Ex which is not enough to pay rent and buy food. I no longer have a car or medical insurance. I have nothing, I own nothing. I have no assets. I don’t have any friends here as I don’t have the money to socialise anymore. Sometimes I don’t have money for food or it’s a choice between food or non-food items like toothpaste etc. Under my circumstances I cannot afford to leave the room I ‘exist’ in.

My Mother died 3 years ago with Alzheimer’s so fortunately she never knew what was happening all the time I was going through my divorce etc. I didn’t tell her as it wouldn’t have made any difference, possibly it would have upset her momentarily so there was no point. I think if she could see me now, she would turn in her grave and would not believe the conditions I’m living under, it would be too hard for her to conceive.

I am a real person, I’m not a bad person and I will still go out of my way to help anyone I see in trouble. I believe I can still be of use in this world. In the words of the Dalai Lama ‘if you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito’. but still my sense of despair overwhelms me each and every day. I sleep very badly but when I wake the gloom & doom of my existence weighs too much and my thoughts always turn to suicide. How will I do it? I don’t have the money for pills or alcohol, I throw up at the sight of blood and I know I would botch a hanging. Also, although I have an estranged daughter, she is my next of kin and would have to deal with my mess. I can’t do that to her. I love her so much and think about her all the time. As it is, I’m worried that when I die, she is going to have to take care of the funeral and she has enough financial worries of her own to think about.

Like I said, I am a real person, I’m sure there are lots of people out there looking for assistance all the time, some real and some not but if anyone wants to check me out, I will go to any lengths, of their choice, to prove that I am here and I am in this desperate situation. I hope somebody, somewhere reads this narrative and on a humanitarian basis helps me out. Any suggestions would be appreciated but obviously any funds would be greatly appreciated. I don’t mean to sound childish but ‘I just want to go home’ and start living again instead of barely existing like a caged animal in this lonely, hostile country. I have lost everything but I still have my dignity. Even if you are just reading this, I thank you.

On Medical Leave From Job, Drowning in Bills, in Need of a Miracle.

I have always been a hardworking person, but I am at a place in my life where I’m not ashamed to admit that I desperately need some help. I have my bachelor’s degree, which required the burden of expensive loans. I then went back to school to become a licensed physical therapist assistant, which required more loans. I loved treating my patients and doing something good in my community. I was expecting to be able to work full-time and pay off my debts. However, I am a Lupus patient and my health has taken a turn for the worse this year. I am currently out of work because my job has become too physically and mentally taxing on me. I have been on medical leave for four months. I am planning on returning to work out of necessity, but have been medically advised to return part-time only. In addition to regular living expenses, I have 7 student loans, 2 hospital bills, and 5 credit card balances. I drive an old car that I have had to repair numerous times, including getting the transmission rebuilt. Hence, the large credit card balances. I have to be on 10 prescription medications just to be able to function. I live frugally and in a modest apartment. I have 2 dogs and a cat who are the loves of my life and deserve the world. I had to postpone annual check ups for 2 of my animals simply because the money is not there. I would be grateful for any assistance I could possibly receive, whether help with rent, paying for my expensive medications/treatments, paying off debt, providing for my pets, anything. Anything to help me stay afloat until I can earn some income again or figure out a plan. I literally have nowhere else to turn. This year has been one of the most difficult of my life. I have hit rock bottom. That being said, I am determined not to give up, but to keep putting one foot in front of the other. I am drowning in over $50,000 of debt and my credit is tanking. I have no idea how I’m going to pay off all of this debt, but I’m not giving up. I’m tenacious and I believe in staying positive. Everyone has challenges to overcome. This year has just been my year of challenges. I’ve trained in karate for 3 and half years and this has helped teach me to never give up. My parents have also made a lot of sacrifices for me. My mom, who is 71 years old, is still working full time because my dad is on disability. I have always had a heart for people and have dreamed of being debt free so I could be in a position to help others. I realize this may never happen and that there are other ways to help. I try to give my time, talents, love and kindness whenever possible.I believe in trying to stay positive and I believe if we put goodness into the world, that good things will come back to us. Even if I face bankruptcy, I will not lose sight of this. I promise to try to be worthy of any financial gift I receive, as it will be a blessing and an honor. I thank you for reading my story and considering me and am grateful for ANY help I may receive.

Need A Little Help From Some Friends (Or Anyone really)

Well,  I’m sort of in shock that a series of events has landed me here.  But here is where I am nonetheless-  There’s no easy way to say this so I’ll just say it- I need help.  The kind that no one likes to ask anyone for or being asked for themselves- the worst kind- financial help.  I’m hoping this gets out to someone somewhere who’s able to provide aid.  I haven’t shared my story with many people honestly – but here goes, some unsavoury people have been messing with my head and my life, and I don’t know who else to ask for help.  It’s hard for me to admit this (although I’m getting used to it) but what I desperately need right now is help to keep me from #1- being evicted before I start my new work at home job & #2- having to take hush money from people who subjected me to so much psychological and emotional abuse that it has rendered me unable to work or function the way I used to unfortunately.  I don’t know if I’m supposed to put an amount or not,  honestly anything helps at this point.  I’m uncomfortable putting that info out there-  so I’ll say this; I am very late on rent,  and I have a group of people relentlessly trying to manipulate me and threatening my family + myself for over a couple years now.  I’ve tried to fight them to no avail-  they’ve humiliated me, spread rumors, bullied + harassed me, tried to convince myself & my own family to have me committed so that my testimony won’t stand – should anything go to court.  I am struggling with depression and live in a lot of fear and anxiety consequently.  Like so many other people out there, I’m struggling.  To add insult to injury,  I am hurting severely emotionally from the entire ordeal, to say the least.  It’s isolating.  I’ve been told point blanc I’m being followed as an intimidation tactic.  It’s infuriating to have no power.  I try and keep away from people, being I have no one I can trust and I don’t want anyone else being subjected to harm or harassment.  So this is my life right now.  I’m looking for temporary work to fix the issue but cannot find any I’m able to perform in my current state/condition.  I’m exhausted from continually fighting for my life,  and just need a leg up to try and stay afloat for the time being.  The people who put me where I am now are trying to force me to take their money –  and I just can’t stomach the idea, but I have no other choice currently-  which makes my stress and depression worse.  I’m just at the point where I am openly begging the Universe to help.  So please Universe,  help.  Because I’m at a loss as what to do next.

My name is Julia,  thanks for taking the time to read if anyone did-  and if there’s any way I can help in return I would jump at the opportunity.  I’ve worked in video production, as a personal assistant, ran my own cleaning business, am an experienced dog sitter, the list goes on- so even if the help is in the form of remote administrative work,  I’m available.  Either way, donation or not,  thanks for your time  :)

Help with rent

I am hard working but I did end up in a very bad situation.

I am supporting 5 kids and married since 7 years. I have the youngest child together with my husband. A few days ago my husband left me for another women and my life did fall down like a card house. I did discover that the rent was not paid in 2 months. Even if the contract is in my name he did have control about the money and manage the family economy. Instead of paying the bills he did send the money to her in Libya. I did take a mortgage in April on 150.000 for us to buy a home in his country but that money is also gone. If i will not pay the Bill on 25000 and another 12500 buy the end of this month i will end up on the street with my kids. I do also need help to pay the mortgage on 150.000 since it is impossible for me to raise that kind of money on my one. I go to work every day, I leave my youngest in kindergarden and pick her up every day. My husband did also work but he did stat home much. Now I know that he did stay in home to talk with her online. My husband did go out walking much with himself and I did trust him when he told me that he is out walking because he is stress about his family in Libya. It is war in Libya and I know it makes him worried about his mum since she still live there. I cannot Even explain how bad I feel and stupid when I found out he did plan to marry one in Libya behind me. One time when he did go out walk he forgot his phone in home. The phone was ringing. I did not recognize the number but did see it was Libyan. So I did answer and she was in the other end. She was swearing me. She told me that she will destroy my life. She told me that my husband only was with me because i help him. Even her older brother did speak with me and confirm that my husband was about to marry his sister. My husband did come home and I did fight with him about this. He was swearing me even in front of our child. She start to cry. Now she have nightmares.  I am in a very stress situation, my life is a total nightmare. My husband did not only go behind my back he did destroy my whole life.

Lost Job, Way Behind On Bills

Hi,

My name is Laethan and I’m a 21 year old who lives in Minnesota. Lets me give a little background on my situation. Back in early February 2019 I had fallen at my house and injured my right knee due to a dirt driveway and frozen conditions. For the first 3 weeks after the injury I couldn’t walk without drastic limp and constant pain. Due to not being able to fulfill my job duties anymore I was let go. At that point I had sat down and talked to my fiance and we decided to move to a safer area out of the country side. We eventually settled on Minnesota. With the help of my fiance’s parents we found ourselves a nice little two bedroom.. it was perfect. At the time of moving I was still having issues with my knee but no longer had insurance to act on it. I landed a job not to far from our new house as a caregiver. It was a strenuous job that took a lot out of you ever night. After working overtime from the start of my time there it eventually began to be to much for my knee. One night I was apply a transfer to a resident and my knee gave out from under me, in said process I almost dropped the resident but managed to keep them safe at the price of my knee and now back. Shortly after that incident there a was a mutual parting of way between me and the company. After losing that job I’ve struggled to keep up with my car, rent and other payments. I’m almost 2800 dollars in the hole at the moment and the option of asking my now former fiance for help isn’t there anymore. I’m so desperate at this point I need help..

This is my paypal.me link: https://paypal.me/laethant

Everything helps and everything is appreciated!

Have a fantastic day, week and or month,

Sincerely,

Laethan

Emergency; need help.

Hello everyone,


I am David Garnierr and I am an entrepreneur who lives with his 
family in Morocco since 2014. I am in the field of call center.
I opened a company where my team and I take appointments to other 
companies based in France Belgium, Canada. Everything worked for me.


Only since October 2018, nothing is going as planned. I came across
 people who refuse to pay me in succession and I had to pay my
 employees from my pocket.Since I tried to return the situation 
several times, but unfortunately no success. In less than a year, 
I burned all my savings and I even had to start selling my personal
things to pay my bills.


Today, I am turning to you because I have absolutely nothing to
 sell and I will have no more money to eat soon. Morocco is a 
difficult country, in the sense that I asked for several loans
 but no bank and anyone wants to help me. I wish to return to 
France but I do not have enough money to go back.


I need you, please, to return the situation I would already pay
 all my bills, be able to feed my family and finally relaunch a 
new business in the field of affiliation (to do already a training)
to put all to make sure that never happens again.
Indeed I wish this to no one, I have trouble sleeping because I
 think constantly, I begin to have physical pain because it does
 not go well mentally.


I turn to you all for help,you can support me on:paypal.me/Himaffiliation
Thanks for reading me.

Yours Truly.

Help Support Advice Guidance

Hello, My name is Amber.  I live in Milwaukee County currently in my vehicle. I am reaching out to all I think that would be able to help us. We are in no way looking for a handout, but we do need help. I lost my job do to Sexual Harassment and lost everything. I was denied Unemployment because no one believed me & the people that did see it, looked the other way and did not want to be involved. I worked in a Factory. The ratio between Men & Woman were obviously not equal and the turn over rate was terrible. So firing people for there actions wasn’t important. So Instead of staying & dealing with it, I walked away.  So now we are put in a unfamiliar position. We stay on my brothers floor when we are allowed to stay or I stay in my car. The only income I do receive is by Donating Plasma or Food Stamps or side gigs on Craigslist. I have little to none of Family or support. My Parents and Brother suffer from alcoholism and trying to form some kind of relationship has been impossible. So at the end of the day, we are all we have and need. But At the same time, I have to suck up my pride and ask for help because I don’t have the funds I need to get to a job in order to proved a home. So here I am :) I know there’s millions of others that deserve the same or even more than us. Trying  to just make it through the day, not even looking forward. I imagine the number is very large because I live in the homeless community. So I do apologize, I mean it. I’m sorry. I should not be where I am, WE should not be but we do remind ourselves that these times have made us both appreciate the little things even more than we did already. Which are the most important. I really don’t have a amount that we need. If I had to $100 or what ever you can help with. Thank you for reading and helping. I promise that when I get on my feet, to pay it forward.

Help Me Feed My Family

I know not everyone will read my words. If you are willing to help without knowing my story, God bless you and your family.  This is my paypal account: paypal.me/imziee. For those of you who want/need to know my story, continue reading.

I never thought I would ever do this in my life. Begging strangers online for money seemed so extreme six months ago, but here we are. My name is Joe and you can’t imagine how desperate I am that this works.

I suffer from severe Crohn’s disease. Basically, my intestines are heavily inflamed which results in severe abdominal pain, daily diarrhea, heavy weight loss and fatigue. It makes it incredibly difficult for me to do normal activities some days, like going to work. In the past year alone, I have had to leave jobs or have been fired due to the frequency of my flare ups and the severity of my symptoms.

Earlier this year, I was finally able to have surgery during which I had 10+ inches of my bowel removed. Unfortunately, this procedure resulted in the formation of a hydrocele (extremely enlarged testicles) thus requiring a second surgery to correct the complication.

Although these procedures are supposed to help, they do not cure Crohn’s and I am currently waiting to find out if I am actually in remission. Despite this, I have started reapplying to jobs in the hopes that I may once again properly provide for my family.

My family and I, however have fallen on hard times. Although I am now on disability, the stipend I get per month is barely enough to cover rent, bills, and food. Usually my girlfriend and I pool our incomes together to survive but she has fallen on difficult financial times as well. I am unsure what more I can do.

Our cupboards are now bare and the fridge empty. There are two weeks left in the month and I am at a loss as to what to do or how to feed my family. We are desperate for help. Any help.

I have prayed for food for days. Our situation seems so bleak, but I have faith God will provide. I know that there are good people in this world who are willing to help those of us down on our luck. I promise to pay it forward. All my family and I need is a little compassion to make it through July.

For those of you who are willing to help,our hopeful goal is $100 but as I’ve said before anything you can do will help. You can send donations to Paypal.me/imziee

Thank you for taking the time to read through all of this. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for helping. I appreciate it. We appreciate it. Thank you.

May God bestow upon you and your family his most brilliant blessings and may you always know peace.

THE CINDERELLA FAMILY – Broken by the work of an unheard inventor

Who I am and what I’m looking for

I am a 20 year old girl, taking my family’s situation in my own hands and begging for your financial support in order to help me, my younger sister and my parents, because our close family members are not able to, our friends and relatives don’t want to (because they are no longer patient), and for banks and public institutions, we don’t have enough guarantees.

Our story in one sentence

My father, a creative tinkerer and private technological inventor, didn’t manage to realize his remarkable projects, which brought our family on the edge of survival.

Our story in short

In order to realize his biggest dream of succeeding as a technological inventor and providing for his family, my father fell into danger and debt – and had to sustain the illusion of hope through secrecy and a web of lies, under which our family was brought to ruin, while he eventually collapsed when he recognized he was not going to make it.

This is when he left us as a homeless man, informing us, in a long email, of his impending death. Me, my mother and my sister saved him, but are left scarred with a tough past as well as being practically moneyless and desperate to get our life back together.

What we need: enough money

  • To barely survive as a family in our current location: food, water, electricity, hygiene, transport, school etc.

Plus eventually

  • To survive very modestly: repair (floor, doors and windows that do not fully close, oven, showerhead, tap, TV antenna…) and repurchase (basic car, laptop, washing machine, fridge, some clothing items…) broken items etc.

Approximately 50.000€ or 56.000$ would be of great help

Plus eventually

  • To repay most urgent debt (which is approximately 100.000€ or 112.000$)

Plus eventually

  • To repay less urgent debt (which is approximately 100.000€ or 112.000$)

Plus eventually

  • To relaunch the activity of started innovative projects by:
    • Perfecting some prototypes of the major and minor inventions, and eventually patenting them
    • Publishing another great discovery – a solution of the prime number enigma (not as a mathematical demonstration, but as a natural occurrence) which in itself has the potential to bring great success

A startup of approximately 200.000€ or 224.500$ would be of great help

If we happened to receive more (through donations and our own hard work), this is what we would be doing with it, beyond the expansion of my father’s works:

  • Moving to a place with more possibilities, where we can start from scratch
  • Improving our health and well-being
  • For my sister: financing university of Marketing (including university fees and expenses, as well as associated costs of living such as transport, apartment, food…)
  • For me: attending courses and starting a business of my own in order to become a natural therapist (including the means for promotion)
  • For our parents: future eldercare (as their pension is delayed)
  • Eventually, making personal dreams come true: personal development, small gifts to my mother for our recognition, sharing our story with and helping other people who are going through similar situations like ours

We are not up for further debt, as our experiences dictate that the risks outweigh the benefits in our situation.

Prior to telling you our sad story in all detail, this is a short description of who we are, so you get to know us better

My father: 

He is positive and brave, as well as cheerful, loquacious and likeable.

While this story speaks for itself and reveals most of his interests, he is also fascinated by classical music, history and culture, as well as chess, billiard and darts.

Whenever he is at home, he lends a hand to my mom to run the household in every imaginable way, especially through hard physical work, with the exception of taking care of clothing, which he knows close to nothing about. He is our home cook.

My mother:

She is down-to-earth, content, confident, eager to help and hopeful, as well as funny, serene and a cool mom, who has too big of a heart.

Reasonable and a focused and very precise worker, she likes painting, decorating and furnishing, and is often busy selling items online, as well as doing household tasks.

Travelling counts among the things she enjoys most, and her goal is to find peace, tranquility and security, together with her husband.

 

Me:

I am curious, ambitious, motivated, hard-working, determined, as well as polite, friendly, sunny, and a great listener.

I’m interested in human biology and psychology as well as healing, and enjoy reading and writing about the topic. I also love playing the piano, singing and chatting, drawing, dressing up and learning in general.

I am all for long walks in nature.

Patient, good at solving problems and coming up with creative solutions, my goal is to find happiness in aiding other people in a natural way, by teaching them how to heal themselves, and to build a calm and stable life.

 

My sister:

She is dynamic – relaxed, easy-going and fun, but also stubborn and reserved.

This girl is very smart and easily learns anything she sets her mind to.

She is interested in computer science and languages, of which she speaks 6.

As an animal lover and fan of movies and theatre, having a good time with and talking to friends is what makes her feel good.

Marketing and economics are in her blood, which is why her goal is to grow up to be an independent and influential woman, to work in the marketing sector and build a business of her own.

 

We live in the north-Italian mountains – cut off from the city, and speak German and Italian fluently, as well as English.

Take notice that this is a very wealthy quarter, which encompasses high living standards, but on the other hand also high costs of living.

 

The struggle of my family

Despite having always worked diligently hard and non-stop to exhaustion, yet in an allegedly smart, efficient and useful way, life has hit us very hard, as we are victims of never-ending complexly tough situations, which we had no other choice but to suffer through.

Casual bad luck, conducted mostly by senseless wickedness and villainy of mean and evil people, but also our own tenderness and well-meant altruism, have been the culprit.

Inadvertently lost, there have been a few factors we have just been intrinsically incapable and impotent to shelter from.

They endangered us in a way that, albeit reprieving us from permanent damage so far, has opened up the doors for that…

unless a drastic scene change takes place very soon.

In this case we are very motivated to harness our ace in the hole for our regeneration: to make a difference in the world through remarkable contributions and to guide people in situations similar to ours.

A recent, happy family moment: dad, me, mom, sister

You will find us and our business on most social media platforms and on our website, all under construction. We go by the name “The Cinderella Family” and also have our own hashtag #thecinderellafamily. 

Here we will keep you updated through pictures, texts, videos and audios of us, our situation and its development, as well as the inventions, among other things. You can also contact us and we can keep in touch in various ways.

I posted our full Cinderella Family story and an album of some of the debts and recent bills that we were able to document (in German and Italian language) on our Facebook site, if you want to have a look at them.

Our current link: https://www.facebook.com/The-Cinderella-Family-351285852209561/

Our motto: rags to riches

You can find me and my own business under the brand “Maelumi” and the name “Miu”.

Family in really need.

Alajuela, Costa Rica July 11, 2019

I am Víctor Vargas, although I am a teacher in my country Costa Rica, I have fallen into financial bankruptcy. My salary goes to pay debts and taxes, because I work for the government and I have to pay back around 27%, only from taxes and others.

Two situations have led me to my monetary situation, the first has to do with my wife Martha, who is a cancer survivor, twice she has been operated to remove malignant tumors. But in April of 2017 they took a malignant tumor from her tongue and mouth and they mutilated 70% of her tongue, she did not want to undergo the dreaded chemotherapy, but they asked for an alternative treatment for her, that cost us a lot of money and we did it but with loans. Today is pretty good, but you have to take a very expensive diet almost liquid, because she can not eat solid foods for the reasons given, to deal with this situation we had to resort to more loans. In this country as in others, I could work a little in another job other than teaching, but if I did; I could not take care of my wife.

About a year ago, things were not going well financially I accepted the advice of a friend to invest sa few  money in some of those pages that swarm on the internet offering to make rich to anyone who follows their advice, as he told me that  a friend of his had been very good, I think I will do ,too, but did not advise me with correct and honest people I got two credit cards, and sent money to invest about  $ 6.000. At first I was trusted because they sent me money, like $ 500 from headquarters of the bank to which they said they were associated. But at the end of last year they never showed up on the internet and they scammed me with more than $ 7000, money that I am now paying on loans, the cure was worse than the disease.

In this country if you work for the government there is no minimum wage limit that they should respect, on the contrary if you fall behind with a loan with a financial institution the finance ministry accepts that you double rebate until you get up to date with your debts, they do not matter, whether you eat or not, or if you do not satisfy your most basic needs.

In conclusion this is my story, I currently owe  two months of house rent $ 1200, and on July 15 next Monday, it will be 3 months for  $ 1800, my landlord told me that if Monday July 15 I do not have the money I must leave the house and pay him as soon as possible. I have nowhere to go or money to pay for another house, however cheap it is, I currently live with my wife a daughter who is in college and works to pay for her studies, and help to half-eat. She earn about $ 700 per month, besides a 7-year-old granddaughter who attends school lives with us.

I am currently receiving $ 200 of salary, I almost do not get anything at all I have to move from one city to another to go to work, almost that money goes in tickets. Already several times this year we have cut electricity, we no longer have internet. I am in a very urgent situation, I am very embarrassed that someone I know read this letter, I expect the greatest discretion on your part.

I am a person who believes in God I have asked for your help, but I still do not see the answer. But my situation does not wait, nothing written here is a lie.

Many times in work a shift from 7:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m. or 14 hours without counting the two extra hours that it takes me to travel by bus, and when I get hungry I eat the leftovers of food that my colleagues leave in the refrigerator. This is very painful but sometimes I can not stand hunger, and I have not wanted to tell any of my colleagues about my difficult situation. Only my family and I know what we live day to day.

God bless you, desperate man who loves his family.

I want to help the world

Hello, I’m Arturo and I’m an amateur musician.

I think a lot about life and our situation, I’m always asking myself what am I doing here? Why are they doing this to me? Is this a dream? How do I wake up? Sometimes I just wonder if this is a test…

I used to think about committing suicide, and I still do, sometimes. But there’s only one thing that helps me keep going:

The dream of helping people.

I love helping people, I love being kind and I’d love to make the world a little bit better. There’s so much cruelty, so much ego and so much need of power, and that’s killing us literally, it’s destroying our only earth. It won’t dissapear, we will all die before corruption and human power ends, that’s crystal clear, it’s in our genes, but it can be reduced.

People is so blind nowadays, the media makes us think like they want us to think and religion keeps brainwashing people’s minds, countries make us think we are the good guys and our military are heroes for killing “enemies”, we are so cruel with animals, we mutilate animals alive, we cook animals alive, we let them bleed alive and those who weren’t born in a farm with another 10.000 animals and never saw the sunlight or touched grass, will die because they will loose their houses when we deforest the forests and jungles. And all the plastic? all we throw to our oceans and seas? everything we do, EVERYTHING we do, for money, it’s killing us slowly, humans ourselves, animals around, the water we drink, the ground we step on, and that’s just insane.

I just want to spread my word, talk to people, reach the world and show them a way of surviving this dying society and this dying world, I wanna spark the people and I wanna make changes, reduce contamination, I want to reunite our people and stay together against bad things, and slowly reduce them, together, that’s what we need, a leading voice.

I understand people and I know we all have problems and I can feel that and I can transmit that through my music, I can recreate a feeling in a song, I could feel deppressed and transmit that to a song without effort, crying rivers over my keyboard asking myself in a funny way, what the fuck? am I crying…? Yes, I was and people doesn’t know that, they just know what I’m transmitting in that song, you just listen to it and you feel it.

All I’m trying to do is express feelings in my music, reach people, teach people and become a voice to help our people and fight together.

I’m Spanish and English is not my first language so I’m so so so mad that I can’t express myself the same way I do it in Spanish, but still, I hope you all understood what’s my mission and what am I fighting for.

I need money to start buying music stuff; instruments, computers, headphones, microphones, and of course, a place to live in, but that’s not your concern, you won’t donate much, and I get it. I just guarantee that 100% of the money I get, is not going to drugs, leisure or other stuff, it will all be focused on my music production and the gear I can’t afford, like I can’t afford other things… but anyways, if you want to contact me to know more or have a conversation to share thoughts I share my e-mail and paypal.me:

https://paypal.me/arturooliva9

(You can ask me whatever you need to know this is 100% real and I’m not lying)

Thanks a lot, and remember that even if you could donate 0.10$/€ it will work for me, I’m not asking for big amounts of money, I just need help from the people to get little grains of sand and start building.

Thanks a lot.

We dug a nice hole for ourselves

Hey there! I’m Jacob, and in the picture is my girlfriend Sierra and our daughter Eleanor. We’ve managed to get ourselves in some deep crap.

I’ll start with when we tried to run an online store a couple years ago. It was growing, and we were close to breaking even after a almost half a year. But we ran out of money to put into it and we found ourselves in about $1,500 of debt. It wasn’t a huge deal, until we found out we were going to be having a lovely little baby.

Between getting laid off, horrible morning sickness, and unsupportive families, it was damn near impossible to get any of the debt paid off. We actually got some extra from our car constantly needing repairs. Our plan to finally get out of my dad’s house and rent an apartment with some friends was ruined by finding out some nasty things about the friends we were going to rent with. Now stuck unable to afford rent, with seemingly no options, and my dad rushing us to get out, we started to look into other cheaper ways to live.

This is where we discovered that people have been converting vans and buses into RV’s and living in them. Not only did it seem like a plausible way out, it also just sounded like a fun way to live, and like a good project to work on. So we managed to get a van, got some solar power set up, started insulating it, and even started paying off some the debt thanks to a good job I found doing trail maintenance on the C&O Canal. Things were going much smoother for us. Eleanor was born with no complications, and Sierra was even able to keep her job after giving birth.

It got a bit stressful when my dad decided we wouldn’t be allowed to “raise our kid in his house” so he threw us out and we had to go to Sierra’s mom’s house. She then also threw us out because we wouldn’t sign a contract saying I wouldn’t live there and Sierra had to work, take care of our newborn, and basically be her mom’s servant. With no place to go we ended up back at my dad’s house.

Thankfully he isn’t totally heartless and is letting live here rather than be on the streets with our baby. After all this mess was finally over, I got laid off again right after Sierra quit so she could take care of Eleanor. Let’s just say from there finding employment was ludicrously hard. Unemployed only being able to find odd jobs and doing yard work for people for about half a year, we collected more debt. During all this Sierra was looking for online work she could do from home to no avail.

That’s when I finally found employment in an overnight seasonal position at Lowe’s. It paid our bills and kept us floating while I had it. But like all seasonal jobs, it came to an end. The next few months were like before; more debt piling up and unable to find work. So I started applying in a city about an hour away, hoping to find better jobs there.

A week later here we are, I’ve been hired to teach gymnastics at a facility an hour away from us. It’s almost a dream job. But we have no more credit cards to put debt on, our bank account is currently about $150 in the hole, we only have gotten food and gas by selling our stuff and doing odd jobs, and our van is not ready to be lived in.

We managed to get some rough temporary solutions in our van to make it barely livable. But we still have the issue of the debt. We don’t even know what to do about it, and we’re about to be in big trouble with it and there’s potential for our van to get repossessed. We’ve tried to get a debt consolidation loan to just get everything paid off and to put some more work into our van to get the rest of the essentials, but we can’t get approved because our credit is now in the toilet. No one we know will cosign for us to get approved.

We’re scared. And if our home we’ve been trying to build gets taken away, we won’t just not have that but we won’t have a vehicle to get around because our old car died last month. So please, literally anything to help would be amazing. Even if someone would just be willing to cosign for us we could finally get a move on with our lives.

What we need to raise-

To pay off debt- $3,500

To fully convert the van- $2,500

Total- $6,000

Thanks in advance for any help

young girl on streets HELP

Hello my name is Marie and I have found myself in situation I never thought possible.

PLEASE READ IF YOURE WILLING TO HELP

I am currently 19 years old and originally from Nebraska, but now living in Kansas City, MO. Now begging for money has always been my last resort, but after recent events I don’t feel like I have a choice.

This all started in December 2018 when I first met my boyfriend from Kansas City. Everything was absolutely perfect and I truly couldn’t have been happier. Things started to move a lot faster than what I expected. He asked me to move in with him in April 2019. Keep in mind I have never lived anywhere besides a small town in Nebraska. So, naturally, I quickly accepted his offer. I quit both of my jobs, said goodbye to all my friends and family, and moved my entire life to Kansas City for a 23 year old man.

Things went really great for the first 3 months. Our apartment was like a freakin RESORT to me. I couldn’t believe how lucky I was to be living in such a beautiful area.

A few weeks later my ex lost his high paying job. He tested positive for THC on his drug test. We lost our main source of income, besides the minimum wage I made working as a barista. As soon as he found out I wouldn’t be able to pay all of our rent with my money he wanted to replace me as quickly as possible. He became verbally and physically abusive on a daily basis and my life became a living nightmare. I had no friends or family to lean on as they are all over 400 miles away. The man I thought who loved me so much was solely focused on money and sex from me.

After about a week he found a few friends to take my place in the apartment and I was kicked out onto the streets of KC with nothing but a duffel bag with my clothes and my phone.

I have been roaming around the streets for about 2 weeks now. I am unable to return home because my family was severely against me moving away with an older man. They want nothing to do with me and it breaks my heart. I still work as a barista but the little money I do make is quickly used on food and other necessary products such as tooth paste and shampoo.

So please I am begging for a little money so I can rent an Air BnB or some other kind of room for a few nights. ANYTHING helps :)

May God bless you this summer season!

Single Mom With Troubles

Hello, Thank You for taking the time to read my story. I am a single mother who has fallen on short times. I am 34 years old. I have a 10 year old son, who light shines  so bright despite the hard times he has gone through. His dad passed away right before he was born. He was gunned down in front of his home. He really need counseling, because he break down at times and it makes me sad as a mother because I know nothing I say will change the fact that his father isn’t here. This year was his 1st playing basketball and he’s slowly becoming a different child. He’s also on student council. I call him my anointed child, he prays better than some adults. I don’t know what the Lord has in store for him, but I Know it’s great things.

I also have a 13 year old son who do have a father in his life, but I can hardly get financial help. I put him on child support, and he still doesn’t work. I am currently living in a small town were it is not many jobs. I’ve applied to a Beauty School College in Fort Worth, Tx. My only issue is that the cost of living is higher there, and I don’t have money to move.

A little back ground about my life. My mother loved me, but she also loved the drugs she was on more. I moved with my dad at the age of 8, and he done the absolute best he could. I was angry at my mother for years, I use to see all my friends parents visit school, and come to our volleyball games, basketball, extra. I never had that, my dad worked so much to provide for us. I understood so I never blamed him. At 21 I found out my mom was HIV positive while I was 8 months pregnant with my youngest child. I sprang into action, her doctor told me doing drugs on top of taking her meds. was like pouring gas on a fire. I was in the process of getting power of attorney over her, but in this mist of me doing so she passed away in 2009. I got something most people don’t get. While on her death bed I told her I didn’t blame her, and I wasn’t angry. I understood that she didn’t have a mother, she was killed when she was just a little girl. Mostly I told her I loved her, and that it was okay to go be with God. I told her I would make sure her grandkids would know who she was, and know she loved them. Tears rolled down her face. As I walked out she took her last breath. I wasn’t sad, I was at peace knowing she could Rest In Peace.

So you see, me moving and getting back into school will Break my families cycle. I want to be the best example for my boys, and show them the sky is the limit. I also want them to see that as long as you’re honest, God himself will place the right people in your life to help you. My goal is to raise $5,300 to move, and be able to get all my utilities turn on, as well as get my youngest son some counseling on how to cope with his father not being here. Whatever you can find in your heart to donate will be greatly appreciated. Thank You so much, for just giving a minute of your time. Have a Blessed Day!!

Bill funds til proper treatment.

Let me begin with, I’m sorry I am even asking. I do not deserve this more than anyone else; and I hate myself for it. I was supposed to be the strong one helping others in life. What happened to me? Why am I here on a cyber begging website, writing a pity post that will never be seen? Right now I hope for nothing short of a miracle, I am trying my best to hold on.

My request: My request is just enough money to pay my bills each month til the medical field can help me. I currently have lived a life of anxiety, depression and inferior social skills. When I was young I used to be a Grade A student, most of the time. I had ambitions, dreams, I wanted to be a police officer to help and save people. The brave men who took care of others and saved lives. Around age 13 I realized I was seeing my future as non existent. I started to stop smiling and started faking them. After that, people around me stopped wanting to talk to me. I was the easy target to bullying. Teachers gave up on me. I learned, I watched, but I never participated in homework or testing. Insults from those I never spoken to before, I just smiled in hopes they would stop.

I escaped to the internet, trying to find friends on there I could relate to. Talk to. I still had one child hood friend IRL at the time, but come High School he joined the druggies. Slowly over the years we drifted apart as the friends I met through him only saw me as a comedic annoyance. I bought them gifts, and all they did was demand more. Life has continued since then of me trying to help others while being spotted as the target to be used. I have met a few people who are nice and some who have offered to help me buy a soda or lunch. I am thankful to see those kind of people.

Why should I donate?: Again, honestly, I don’t deserve it. But my mental state has advanced in severity at a high rate. I was hospitalized for suicidal threats with intent to commit while speaking to someone on a phone. After being stripped of all items, questioned and released I went home. I feared talking to people, I know they wanted to help. But it scared me so much to be dragged out. For a long time I was afraid to even vent to people I knew. I told them I was fine and I would be busy for a while. My anxiety sky rocketed at my jobs, where my shyness was ridiculed and abused. I was treated as a joke of an employee for how timid I was and scolded for things that no one else would be for. I quit that job and got a factory job. There I was lied to since day one, there was drama everywhere. Management hated you, the company fired people to cover illegal trails. I would go to sleep shaking, holding my head begging not go to back. Til one day I just quit, I called in and said I can’t stay here. Since then I’ve been living off my savings to survive each month for my few bills. I live at my parents home rent free luckily but they can’t afford the rest of my bills. I am actively seeing a psychologist, therapist and doctor. They said it’s basically a guessing game til we get it right. I have more pill bottles on my desk than I ever wanted to see.

I’m sorry, I know this isn’t a diary… but I feel so defeated and hopeless right now. If you took time to read this and didn’t donate. I still thank you for being interested enough in my life to read about it.

Take care everyone.

Injury, and taking an L

I wasn’t sure the best way to title my situation. But as of right now, I am really struggling and it is becoming increasingly harder to put this situation to an end.

To summarize:

I took an L by having a huge difficulty finding a job. I am 23 years old with a really solid work history. I have had jobs since I was 18, and all but one of them lasted at least a year ending on good terms. I don’t know what it is that is giving me really bad luck with landing a job, but I have been unemployed for a couple months now with my girlfriend paying our bills and for basically everything. I do Lyft and Doordash but I just lost my insurance so they will be cancelling me soon, not to mention that it is very hard to get good hours on either app where i live.

And, the “injury”.

I apologize for how personal this gets, but for as long as I can remember, I have only ever had one testicle. I knew i had gotten surgery for an undescended testicle at a super young age, so i figured it was removed.
In mid June of this year I started having insane pain by my abdomen, and in my one testicle. The pain in the abdomen is being caused by that extra testicle. Apparently the pain means it died, and needs to be removed. I never even knew it was there.
I have experienced a lot of pain and swelling over the past month from this. And without my health insurance, surgery will cost me upward of $10k, and I definitely have not even a small portion of that in savings.

While I know I probably wont receive that much, just know that any help, will help.

Even just typing this feels helpful because it stresses me out so much. My girlfriend is paying for literally everything and I can tell its effecting her and our relationship.

I am seeking help mostly to try to get this surgery soon. And also to help pay our bills until I can get back on my feet. Its seeming more like a pipe dream with all this pain because its so hard to go out when my nuts feel like they re on fire.

Thank you for reading this.

P.U.S.H

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

Recovering financially from an unprepared Death in the family

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

Spiraling out of control financially

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.

I need about $5000 Please!

So OK, I work 3rd shift and have been for a long time. I lost my family a year ago in a bad break up and just less than a month ago was forced to move. I was on the streets for 2 weeks going from couch to couch. I found a place and had enough money for the deposit and to move in. The problem is everything has caught up to me. The turn around on rent was fast as I scrambled to come up with the money while feeding myself and paying for hotels and whoever I could to stay there. It costed me $1000 to move in and rent is $760 but it was too soon as I had other bills to try and pay off including car note and insurance in order to keep things going. Now I got a notice about a ticket that I had forgotten about that I have $420 more dollars to pay before Friday or I have to go to court. My middle daughter’s Birthday was just yesterday and I barely had money to get her something. This past year was very tough on All 3 of my girls. I wanted to make it special for her but am in a HUGE bind. Her Mom and I are in talks or reconciling, but with my financial struggles it’s kinda putting a damper on that too. I don’t have furniture in my apartment and no food. I’ve been living off cup noodles to survive and whenever I can go over to my Ex’s for dinner. They took OT at at work the last month so I’m really struggling to catch up. Last summer was horrible for my children and I REALLY wanted to take them somewhere this year and show them a good time but don’t see that happening either with all my struggles. I’m not living above my means, I just fell into a hole and need to catch up so I can stay ahead like I use to. I haven’t even paid rent this month yet and now there’s a $50 late feet added on to to that as well. I’ve asked my Dad and Mom to help but they can’t as they have their own struggles. I know there are good people out there that have good hearts and will help. So I’m asking, Please help me. I want my family back and to show them that I can do this. We were all together 14 years and I did whatever I could and tried my hardest to make them Happy. I’m almost back and I know if I clearly this up, WE’LL BE BACK TOGETHER AND HAPPY!!!

I have finally found the courage to ask for help!

Hello, for years i have been too proud to ask for help when I’ve needed it. Now i am realising i need to accept any help that is offered.

I have been through a tough time recently, particularly over the past year. I have battled with depression for a while though i am now getting to be in a better place emotionally.

I’ll keep it as short as i can but the biggest challenge I have faced is watching my grandfather die in front of my eyes. He was terminally ill and he took his last breath while holding my hand and this hurt me so badly.

This led to a downward spiral of depression and i ended up getting a very painful eye condition which nearly caused me to lose my eyesight in one eye. This really affected my confidence and meant that I had to take a lot of time off work. I had only been working with that company for 5months and so did not qualify for sick pay which meant i really struggled financially. I did not feel comfortable asking for help and so ended up taking out some high interest loans to get me by while i was not at work. I used this money to pay my rent and bills. This then got out of hand and caused me to have a lot of debt which went into the thousands. I also had to use credit cards just to buy food and help pay some bills. I am now back at work but am still struggling to pay off this debt. It is never ending.

I really just want to get my life back on track financially and emotionally so that i can do something good. I used to have so much ambition and i need help getting that back. I know the position i am in is partly my fault but i am asking for donations, however small, to help me clear my debts and start living again. I also want to be able to come off of my antidepressants at some point soon as i cannot continue to live like this.

I would really appreciate any help i can get, please keep me in mind.

Cancer got both of us

For a quick overview,  first, I have tried everything to get a loan but nobody gives me one and my credit is getting worse.

My credit was in upper 700s until Jan 2017. All fell apart. My husband and I just retired and shortly after my husband got pancreatic cancer and passed in 2012. So I went back to work. July 2015 I came down with cancer. I lived on my put away money expecting I could return to work after surgery and recovery.  Then I found out I had to do chemo. With my money gone now, I started using credit cards still expecting to return to work after treatments and could repay them. Things got tough so I filed bankruptcy beginning of 2017 and it was closed May 2017. Still no income I began using my credit cards again expecting to return to work soon. Well, I guess I will not be returning to a full time position again.

Our whole lives we worked hard to have a good life during retirement but my husband died right after he retired so he never even got to enjoy it.

Like most families, you do not ever think this could happen to us. We did put money away in case something came to halt us for a few months. Nothing like what happened though.

Myself, I consider myself lucky to be here. I am lost and a little lonely without my other half but it was obviously not my time. I am just looking to get things paid so I do not have to spend my remaining years stressed and praying every night something good will come  my way.

I will remain on my survivors benefits and disability the rest of my life. I have two part time jobs and if I can just get my bills paid up I know I will be able to get by on my jobs and benefits.

I had to have electrical work done. I had circuits turned off and it was a fire hazard in my home. I have a breathing machine and foot machine I need to have to live and I had trouble running them. I have to pay $2000.00 on July 15 for the work done.

My phone, internet, electricity, medical, and insurance are all backed up.

Now I have my income if I can get even I will be ok.

Please consider helping me if you are able to at:

My Milestone Birthday

Hi my name is Lisa & I am throwing a big party for my milestone Birthday.

I have been planning for two years.  ( I never thought I would reach this age with all the dangerous things I have lived through) I am truly grateful and wanted to celebrate with my family and close friends. I am a very detailed person – I feel if you put extra effort into the small things it means and shows alot. I have already spent alot of money $$$$$ the 5 digit kind and now I am short $4000.00.

A very close family member recently passed away a couple of months ago that was like a sister to my Mom. My mom became depressed as she feels everyone is passing away and she is next- I pray not I love my Mommy. So I used some of the money to fix her kitchen: cabinets, stove, microwave & floor. The last item will be the refrigerator sometime before Christmas. This has lifted her spirits as she enjoys cooking and loves her new kitchen. I am very Happy to see my Mom happy.

I am also honoring her at the party as a surprise for her 75th.

I feel I am going to be embarrassed if I can’t pay this bill – because I don’t know where or whom to beg for this loan from.  I have tried and to no avail.  There are so many people that are exciting to celebrate with me and I am so afraid I going to disappoint them & I will be extremely embarrassed.

This is causing severe anxiety as I can’t sleep or eat & I am a diabetic- my glucose has been in th 500’s.  Clearly I must want to not make it to my milestone. I have to pay this venue & vendors next week and I am stressed.

I am a person who likes to help everyone “bring water to your dry places” always fill you with encouragement to keep going. For we all have a purpose and if I an able to help you get there I will. But right now I can’t help myself & I am desperate and begging and I know this is selfish of me -as there are people sick just praying for one more day of life. Please forgive me.

But I am Faithful to God, he would not have brought me this far to let me fall.

But if so that I do not prevail it is for his will to be done – that I Trust.

Thank you tremendously in Advance if you can Help me.  If not still Thank you for taking the time to read.

Life Changing Car Accident – Need a Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle / Help Getting a better Home

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.

Single female working two jobs with the ambitions of saving lives and stability.

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!

A hurricane of misfortune

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

Financial Hardship

07/01/2019

Hello, my name is Seth Rufus,

 

I am a father of 3 beautiful girls that are 12, 17, and 21. I am also a husband to an amazing wife Tory Rufus. Me and my wife work fulltime to support our family. I work in warehousing while my wife work in customer service relations. My oldest daughter who is 21, her name is Taryn got hurt on the job and got laid off and unable to work for some time now. I got into a major car accident last year in January 2018 and my back has never been the same, so it’s a struggle to do what I used to do especially in the line of work that I am in which is hard general labor. We also take care of both sets of our elderly parents. Both of our fathers had major surgery. My dad had major heart surgery and is now disabled and so is my wife’s father. He had surgery to repair an artery which then turned into several infections and was bedridden for several months. My wife needs surgery due to blood loss and needs a hysterectomy. She works tirelessly even though she doesn’t feel good 90 percent of the time, she doesn’t want to take time off because we are already behind on bills. We are struggling to make ends meet and we have a home that is in dire need of repairs. We barely make it paycheck to paycheck and we are struggling bigtime financially as we have mounting credit card debt, we are unable to repair our home. We barely survive on our paychecks. We are also faced with being behind on our mortgage and now we need to repair our means of transportation to and from work. As a man it is very difficult to ask for help, I’m used to taking care of my family, but it got so much harder because I am also taking care of my parents and in laws. My parents are struggling financially, and I wish I could do more for them but I’m doing the best I can. I am asking for financial help to help us back on track financially and to survive. We are trying to stay positive and do the best we can and make sure that we each don’t give up, which is easier said than done. Thank you for taking the time to read this letter and we wish you well in all your endeavors. Thank you.

Desperately need money for bills/medication/etc.

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. i0000011.jpg

Got robbed yesterday, lost all of the money that I have, poor senior university student from Serbia

Hello kind people.

I am a broke student from Serbia studying life sciences and stem field research in the capital city of Belgrade. I am on my last year at the moment and I am really struggling to pay for rent and food…( I a variety of jobs to earn some cash like working shifts in a hostel and in a bar near me,cleaning the dishes, on weekends I do odd jobs on a site here in serbia if I get enough free time for it). And these jobs and jobs in general in Serbia don’t pay well…

My family doesn’t talk to me at all because of our differing beliefs and they have rejected me around 3 yrs ago…

My college tuitions are free though, because in Serbia if you perform well enough in your studies the college is free, except food and housing.

I got robbed yesterday after I was picking up money from the ATM machine (I keep all of my extra earned cash in the bank so I don’t lose it or get robbed…) But as you see that wasn’t the case this time…And it happened during daytime, around 5pm at knife point. I earn roughly 200 to 250 USD (converted from Serbian dinars) doing these jobs monthly and my rent costs 100 USD. I don’t eat a lot of meat, very rarely, so I use around 100 USD monthly also to get cheaper food.

I explained to my landlord what had happened and he told me that regarding this month I can pay the rent during the next 3 months in smaller 33 USD payments.

For now I just need something to eat and to get me by…I have about 10 euros in cash left and i will use them for some basic food ingredients I guess. Any amount of a donation would help…5…10…Idk. Just anything so I can atleast eat normaly and study during this exam month.

I just want to survive these college days and one day move out of here and make a life of myself because Serbia is declining really fast economicaly and has been declining for decades now…

Thanks for hearing me out.

I’m 56, desperate and needing a loan – no home, no car, no future.

P4020070 (1024x992) (400x388).jpg

I am 56, childless, alone, have no family and despite putting one foot in front of the other every single day, wake up to no joy no matter how hard I try.  I dream that I wake up and find that one person in this world reads this (SORRY ITS LONG) story of my life and says, ‘I’m going to help this person’.  What I really want is a loan for AUD$41,500 that I can pay back to you at AUD$1,200 per month so I’m not asking for charity but life has got so difficult and desperate I thought I would see if GOFUNDME can help in some way.

Another way to help me is to SHARE this or link my GoFundMe page through your Facebook friends/associates asking them in turn to share my story with their group. This way I could expand the search for someone to help me.  

I created a blog titled, Survive A Loan & Hopeful that will hopefully provide more information about why I am so desperate for financial assistance.  Please also check my FACEBOOK  page so that you can see I actually am a real person with a history and not a fly-by-night scammer.

INTRODUCTION:

My name is Kimanie-Lee Roper (nee Jones) and created a GOFUNDME campaign in the exceptional hope that someone out in the world will notice my story and give me the much needed help I require to not only be released from the immense stress I endure every day worrying about money but to try and get well again.  In short, due to various circumstances I will outline below, I require AUS$41,500 to consolidate my various debts so that would free me up to pay back AUS$1,200 per month to whomever can help me with a loan.  I am more than willing to sign a contract and take out loan protection insurance to ensure than a person lending me the money is covered in the event of my death.  I am also happy to pay interest on the loan.  The problem is I will only be able to commence repayments once my loans are paid out however.  I estimate that I can pay back the entire amount in approximately 2.5 years discounting interest.

If someone cannot help me with a loan, I decided to put my story on GoFundMe praying that people may read my story and help me try to clear some of the loans so that I might be able to afford to live each month because as it is, after every loan is paid, I have no money in which to afford necessities.  As of today (04/07/19) I have $20 with a phone bill due and other medical bills that I simply cannot pay off.

LIFE CIRCUMSTANCES:

I have worked all my life and went back to University in 1999 as a mature aged student.  In 2001 I used to work for a Government Department working with people on Parole and Community Based Orders and in the course of my work was held hostage in an interview room by a client armed with two serated knives pasted to their body.  No one knew I was in the interview room and I was assaulted for over an hour before I managed to tackle my way out of the room, through the foyer and open a security door where I narrowly avoided being stabbed in the spine.  The knife came down as I managed to shut the door. Unfortunately my employer completely mishandled my situation and I received no internal or external assistance and because the incident was basically neglected, felt pressure to work years after the incident. The Department was found to be negligent and I received a nominal payment after they ceased their contract with me in 2014. In 2011 I ran into the offender who recognized me and made motions to retaliate and I officially had a breakdown being diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Major Depressive Disorder and Generalized Anxiety Disorder.  I received psychiatric treatment both as an involuntary and voluntary patient of mental health services and have had approximately 10 hospital admissions resulting in two bouts of ECT.   I remain unable to work with severe psychiatric impairment and receive ongoing Workcover payments.

In May of 2012 after the breakdown and whilst still struggling with my mental health, my ex-husband was recuperating from prostate cancer. He woke up and told me that he was in love with his cousin who resided in Queensland (I live in Melbourne) and within 1 hour had packed his car and left our marital home to drive to her.  I was left with 4 mortgages to settle on 4 properties.  He was over 18 years older than I and the news was utterly devastating as I loved him more than life itself.  I was to never see or hear from him again except through our respective solicitors as we formulated a financial settlement.  Within two months of him leaving and seriously struggling with my mental health and trying to pay back the banks, my mother who lived with me at that stage was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and given a couple of months to live.  I nursed her at home until her death 2 days before my 50th birthday.  I do not have any siblings, aunts, uncles, grandparents.  My family on my mother’s side nearly all died from Huntington’s Disease, a terrible legacy to live with. I am completely on my own without family.  Within 3 months I lost my sanity, my husband, my step family, my mother and my home.

When I thought I couldn’t take anymore, I was forced to pay my ex-husband a large lump sum from the settlements of the properties plus my superannuation and he was permitted to keep the entire sum of his father’s will as he was beneficiary.  Despite the fact that I was not working, had a breakdown, and was grieving the loss of my mother, the Court mediation determined that he was 70 years old and would  never work again so he received a handsome settlement even though he got to share the asset’s owned by his new partner.  I had to borrow a large sum of money to pay him out and try as I might, ended up having to sell my home as I just couldn’t afford the repayments and upkeep.

I am currently homeless and do not own a car.  A dear friend lets me live with her and I do not possess a vehicle so am essentially stuck in a rural area without transport.  If not for the kindness of my friend, I would be on the streets as I do not even have $50 per fortnight left to live on.

From the time I was left on my own, I have had to borrow money to move my furniture/belongings and put it into storage, had numerous medical issues and circumstances that have necessitated me borrowing from high interest lending companies as traditional banks will not loan to people receiving Workcover.  My Workcover payments are in place until retirement and I have been through mediation with my employer which guarantees I will receive this payment on an ongoing basis.  I now only receive a portion of my wage and I just can’t manage anymore having no money left at the end of each fortnight.  I am forced to hire a container to house all of my personal belongings which I have not had the pleasure to see since 2014.

MEDICAL ISSUES:
Since 2011 I have suffered from these medical issues and have undergone numerous medical procedures whereby I have had to borrow money:

* PTSD, Major Depressive Disorder, Generalised Anxiety Disorder (approximately 10 admissions into hospital some as long as 2 months) including suicidal ideation.
* 29 teeth extractions under General Anesthetic due to developing a gum infection.
* Emergency staphylococcus aureus knee infection.
* Type 11 poorly controlled diabetes insulin using (long and fast acting day long application).
*  Vascular stents left and right leg.
* Left artery heart stent.
* Total thyroidectomy.
* Removal vocal nodules/tumor (Yet to be done).
* Left eye sclerosis.

PRE 2011:
* 14 x laparoscopy for endometriosis.
* 2 x laparotomy for endometriosis (full stomach surgery).
* Full hysterectomy.
* Epidural abscess at T11 & 12 resulting in meningitis – post operative epidural for pain relief during laparotomy and contracted golden staph.
* 4 x miscarriages (went through IVF and was never blessed with a living child). * Auto Immune Disease Ankylosing Spondylitis.

MY LOANS:

I owe the following to various loan companies.  As you can see, if I could pay back the loans which leaves me one amount, it will negate the huge interest and allow me to be free and clear of debt in 2.5 years.

Loan Company $5,000
Loan Company $3,000
Loan Company $9,500 (was initially $20,000 so I managed to reduced this)
Loan Company $2,780
Loan Company $5,139
Loan Company $ 211
Credit Card $2,000
Friend $2,500

FEELING SAFE AGAIN: 

I was a very proud person who would normally never disclose my ‘dirty laundry’ in public but consistent fear is a strange monster…it makes you do things you would not normally do.  If anyone would have told me I would share such personal information on-line, exposing one’s self to possible ridicule, I would have said you’re crazy.  But my friends, desperation takes one to places you would never believe.  I decided to start a blog in the hope someone would read it and take a chance on me but even there, I’m writing it to no-one as I don’t know how to promote such a blog to get a readership.

If you are able to help me, I will forever be in your debt.  Please contact me and I will do everything in my power to ensure that your ‘investment’ is sound and protected.  I am trying to be as transparent as is possible in this type of forum.

As it is, I literally have $20 left to last me until Thursday 05/07/19 and then it starts again, no money left over the next fortnight.  My phone will be switched off by then as I simply don’t have the funds to run a mobile anymore which further alienates me from the outside world.  If not for my friend feeding and putting a roof over my head, I would be a statistic on the streets of Melbourne.

I am one of the invisible one’s.  A 56 year old woman with no family, no home, no car, physically and mentally unwell and getting worse by the day.

My blog link is https://kimala84.wixsite.com/survivea-loan

WHAT WOULD IT MEAN TO ME IF YOU COULD HELP?:

Literally it would mean the world to me.  The dream to wake up one morning and not be scared is something I cannot imagine anymore but if you take a chance on me, either by donation or if you are in a position to loan me the money for which you WILL be paid back, I will pay it forward.

Blessings to you and yours,
Kimanie-Lee Jones (Roper)

Sister being abused in another state need help!

Hello, good people my name is Alexa and I have a huge favor to ask of anyone willing to help, I live in Las Vegas along with my family my younger sister got involved with a very strange and overly aggressive guy 2 years ago and at first things were fine and everybody got along great.. but after about a year we started noticing my sister stopped smiling as much she had bruises popping up all over her arms and legs and when we started asking questions he up and left with her. She’s barely allowed to speak with us and we know that he continues to abuse her and get phyisicsl with her, the very last time she called she told us he had been monitoring her phone calls made her quit her job and only lets her speak to us if she “”behaves” I am sick and tired of standing by helpless while my sister gets tourtured daily. She will not tell us where exactly she is because she’s afraid we will call the police and she will get hurt by him.. so I made her an agreement to allow me to travel up to her somewhere close by and she will allow me to come get her and get her belongings and take her home as long as I follow her requests and make her feel secure and safe, she’s in Texas I’m not sure yet which city but she is willing to come back home with me or leave another way if need be, I have been struggling financially lately due to injury to my neck and legs , I can barely feed myself and my kids at the moment with my unemployment so i can not afford the money for gas and travel or money for a buss ticket or flight for my sister. I need only $900 to make it there and back with my beautiful sister. I’d like to be able to send her enough money for a bus or plane as a backup plan if I’m not able to get to her or she’s in danger. I have tried so many times to convince her to go to the police but he has her scared to death.  and I’d also like to be able to fix my driver side front tire it’s been flat for about 2 weeks haven’t had the funds or body to get out there and repair it.

honestly anything will help we are desperate to get our sibling back home and away from the abuse of her soon to be ex boyfriend. She can’t handle it much longer and I will be leaving to go down there myself with whatever funds I’m able To make even if I have to take a bus or flight any form of transportation I will use to get to her and bring her home safe and sound. If you can provide any assistance helping us reach our goal of at least $400 we would all be so grateful and appreciate every single cent. Thank you all for reading my post. God bless – Alexa

Awakening Alone

Many people look at me and think, “Shes got it all, shes so lucky”. Well, I guess social media is doing its job because that couldn’t be farther from the truth.

Hello, my name is Kara Quick and I am a 34 year old single woman who wants nothing more but to take back my life and regain some sort of peace in my mind and soul. I’ve always felt a bit different from everyone else but never understood why. I am genuine, giving, nurturing compassionate, empathetic, creative and do everything in life with passion and purpose. I’ve set goals and achieved them time after time. Until now.

In my early 20’s, I went to school and became a chef. That was the first time in my life I found I was good at something. I worked my ass off and achieved more in 10 years than most people do in their lives/careers, when that brought me to what I believed to be my dream job. WELL, that wasn’t the case. Let’s just say you could classify my situation in the #MeToo. AS a result, I was forced to leave the company to save my own mental well being. Everything I’d worked hard for was taken away unfairly. I had a very hard time accepting this situation.

Fast forward 8 months, my whole world really collapsed as my grandmother whom was my life, passed away unexpectedly, leaving my mother and I broken and lost. After that terrible loss, I completely lost my way. I had started painting 2 years prior, as a therapy when I lost my dog (my child), so I then began consuming every moment with creating art.

Going from knowing everything and having a plan, to having no plan and no desire for my previous life, left me soul searching like never before. However, as I was doing this, I became much more aware to certain occurrences around me, and to details that no one else saw or looked at, while always feeling like something was missing or what my purpose was on this earth. I soon was introduced to the process of Awakening/Ascension and connecting to my higher self and consciousness. The more I learned, the more I understood.

Fast forward to the family I thought I always had, that had my back like I did theirs. This image now looks like a smashed mirror. I’ve always asked for two things only from them, to love me and not to judge me. And as I have evolved into a better being, they turn away farther and farther from me. I had one friend and he turned into a psycho stalker. Now I have no one. I want so badly to continue my path of life and blossom into the super intelligent kind witty innovative passionate person I am.

Not giving up or in at this point, is the hardest thing ive ever had to do in my life. I  have severe anxiety issues which have become so debilitating, that I barely leave my home. I cant interact with most people these days because of the social anxiety.  I can barely move due to the constant tension in my body and am in pain everyday. I feel like the people and energy around me are killing me. I’m at my tipping point, this is now or never. To be honest, I’ve never asked for help because my self worth/esteem is so non existent (part of something I discovered, my mother has conditioned this into my head my entire life so trying to fix it at 34 is a mind F$%@). I realize this is the first thing that must be corrected.

In order to live, I need to go back to the psychiatrist and leave this area. But right now, I can’t even feed myself let alone. In a different environment, I thrive. Even now, so I know that little light hasn’t died. But it’s starting to flicker…..

If you’d like to see all I’ve accomplished, https://www.linkedin.com/in/karaquick/. I cant afford to keep my online portfolio but if its still up, http://www.karaquick.com. Thank you for taking the time and I hope there is someone who might understand.

Family of 5 Struggling =

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.

Please help me to check back into life

Hello my name is Angela. I’m 42 years old and a single mom of 3, ages 24, 16, and 11 months old. I grew up in the projects in NYC. I struggle hard as a teenager to stay in school, stay drug-free, and most of all stay alive and don’t be a victim of crime. I starting working at 14 with working papers with the summer youth program and continue to maintain a job and be independent. By the age of 19, with my 1st child,  I moved out my mom apartment into my own apartment, still living in the projects. I always kept a job and maintain all responsibility for my children. I was very determined and didn’t want to rely on the government system. I’ve been on public assistance 3 different times since I’ve been grown and all 3 times are after having children and very briefly. All three times add up to about 3 years or a little over. In 2004 I starting working for the city making very decent money. In 2010, My dad my favorite person in the world dies and things start spiraling downhill. In 2011, my 16 years old son was arrested and was sentenced to 5 years and 5 years post for assault. I was devastated and now even more determined to change our environment. In 2012, I had to file bankruptcy and I’m still trying to recover.  In 2015, I made a drastic move to NC with no real planning with hopes and dreams. I resigned from my supervisory position with the city after all the work and years I put into it to get there. I gave away furniture, appliances, tv’s, washer and dryers, etc and off to NC.  I struggled really hard the first 6 months. Things began to fall on track. I obtained a decent paying job, got my own car (older model but run really good) and rented a nice home. In 2017 my son was approved release to the state of NC. By the end of the year things start to downfall and it’s like I can’t recover. I find out I’m pregnant, lose my job, and my son gone again for violations. Going to NY without permission , looking for his father he have not seen since he been incarcerated. Having to move because I can no longer afford the rent. I’m still blessed and thankful. After having the baby things start to come along but now I’m drowning. The electric bill is 2 months past due.,the water bill is due plus money from the last month because I couldn’t pay the whole total. My car insurance due, diapers, toiletries, feminine products, household products and my resources are just not here and tired of washing clothes by hand.  We have no furniture except for 2 beds and 2 tv’s, which is on the floor. Living out the bags because it’s no dresser for the clothes. No chairs at all to sit in. My 16 year old is senior this school year coming up. Senior dues, prom, graduation. Don’t know what to do haven’t receive any child support payments since January. I’m so lost. I need a bounce back. Need good reliable child care so I can work with a piece of mind. Please,  I appreciate any or all donations. I appreciate you all and Thank you

Struggling Family

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….

On my own trying to pick myself up

Hi! This is really out of my comfort zone but as the saying goes – desperate times call for desperate measures, and that is certainly where I’m at. I’ve recently lost my mum to Cancer at the raw age of 21, and have found myself being thrown it at the deep end to tackle life as an adult on my own in the big bad world and all the stresses anxieties responsibility’s and BILLS that accompany it. I am an only child and my mum was my absolute world, she didnt have much, but I never went without she moved mountains just to see me smile, unfortunately her kind deeds and efforts don’t translate to any inheritance or financial support although I know she would give me the world if she had it. I’m simply looking for some financial help and/or advice and guidance to help me get out of a rut of debt I now find myself in. To say I’m in a pickle would be an understatement and I really do try my best. I work full time plus weekends but life is expensive and I find myself sitting on £10,000 of debt and final reminds coming through my door. It makes life a very dark place and I dread walking through the front door of my humble little flat to  be met by the next bill/charge that I owe. I simply need a fresh start – it’s not that I’m not good with managing money – I have taught myself to be, I have to purely to survive but there are so many hidden costs and unforeseeable circumstances that have knocked me and I’ve not yet been in a position to pull myself up. I’m scared I will be evicted and lose my possessions (which really aren’t worth a lot but have huge sentimental worth to me) I would be forever grateful if someone in the position to could help me and I will prove what I can be. I have so many dreams and so much passion to be successful in life I just need to start on the front foot. Thank you

Broke College Student Trying To Help My Mom!

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.9F99DC05-2943-47BD-A6F7-F4B6418C931C.jpeg

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

My husband has been in hospital for a month, will be in for at least two more, HELP!

dan in hospitalsmall.jpg

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.

Fraud Victim – I have nothing left

Hello,

This is my crazy and unfortunate situation to date.

I am in the middle of an awful divorce. Two years ago, my husband decided to kick me out without any notice and froze me out of our assets. I moved in with my parents. I have spent the better part of two years trying to find better employment, but for now, I make minimum wage and work part-time. The recession is real, I applied for a job a month ago and within three days it had over 200 applicants and I had people in the field vouching for me. I still did not receive even an interview. I make so little money, $15/hr., while my ex makes $175 an hour. He left me with nothing, and, until the divorce is finalized, I’m in a horrible, horrible spot.

Fast forward to a few months ago, a friend of mine (more of an acquaintance, I knew his brother more than I knew him) offered to help me with an investment. Sadly, I deal with depression so I take headpills. These headpills make me incredibly uninhibited and impulsive. I was talked into maxing my credit card and giving up every last penny to this man. Thousands of dollars borrowed from my family and a line of credit. I feel like such an idiot, and now I am forced to take him to court to hopefully get my money back. But in the meantime, I have nothing. Creditors are calling my house. This guy is a career con-man and a sociopath and I am now left on the brink of bankruptcy.

All I am asking is for someone to please help me with a little spare cash. It would go a long way to putting gas in my car or helping me to pay back one of the many people I owe money to (for example, my pup just had dental surgery, and my ex refuses to pay for more than half despite our differing incomes so I had to borrow money to cover it).

My heart is literally breaking. Yet I know, I am still very lucky because my family lets me live with them and I am not forced to be homeless. Thank you for reading.

Please find it in your Heart to help us.

Hi I’m Dan and I am here to ask for some help for me and my family. I’m 62 and a very hard worker. My Mother and Father had a recycling facility back in the 1950’s and from 9 years I been helping them. I was lucky working with them from childhood. We all made a go of anything people threw away and they got paid for it and it helped them. can, old stoves, cars and ext. Well over the years they got older mom got Altimers and my dad got Emphysema and Crohn’s  Disease so I pretty much had my hands full running there buisness and there care and comfort. I been up at daylight for there breakfast got there dinner and supper and medicine. I worked hard paid there bills and kept every thing running smooth. 10 years past and towards the end of there lives I meet a girl and we got married. We had 2 little girls and my father said how special they were holding Danielle the newest baby, A week later he died. My mother couldn’t talk any more and we had to get special care for her. She got lost in the woods once her and her dog and the search and rescue team for her at 4:30 am find and ok. Well that’s when we had to get extra help. Well I had to tell her about dad passing and as she looked at me her eyes teared up then walked away. She passed away not long after.

As me and my wife had to work very hard because the state to most every thing away, checking , bank accounts there house, car, life insurance any thing they could.  I wrote out a check for a head stone for my dad before they took the account and boy did they give me a bunch of shit.  We lived on a lot in a old trailer on the recycling center and 3 weeks before he passed away gave me the land and we thought they were taking that away to. Sending people to add up what they worked for all there lives. And me and my wife and our 2 girls wouldn’t  have a thing if they took the land and our home. Well junk wasn’t worth much and I got a lawyer and he said they can’t stop me working because the deed is yours at the moment and what’s on it is in debate so go to work.

Well unsure what live had instore for us I borrowed money on our old house trailer and went back to work. A year later they left us the land and a big bill I had to pay them to keep it $18,000 dollars. As I said I worked hard 7 days a week to pay them.  People were kind to us because we always had our girls with us made the a play room in the office and beds if they got tired. People brought gifts for them Christmas, Easter They knew we had it hard.    5 years later we were doing ok.  Recycling became a big thing got a Inc. name and our name grew as a respected name. Elk County Recycling Center INC.                                                            I wanted  to buy a new home for my wife our girls. So we went looking. We got a modular home 3 bedrooms 2 baths went to the bank and we got a loan. I never been so happy to see my wife’s and kids eyes light up when it came. We put a basement in it made a kids play room. All was good.

Well I guess others saw we were doing good buying a house is what we figured, The county that took everything of my Mom and Dads and with the same lawyer went and got a 2 million dollar grant. And guess what name that they picked???

Elk County Community Recycling Center Put there name above mine in the phone book. Elk County Recycling as they put it. I was getting there calls they mine and then a new recycling buisness started up buying everything that I bought and the county supported them. The County every week on the radio in the paper on TV  that Elk County Recycling moved to a new location. I got a lawyer to try to fight it. He didn’t do much and There Government you can’t sue the government. Well my customers I had 6300 down to 1200 in just over a year. Then I looked at my wife and said We can’t make it. We had less the 150 people by the end of the year. I borrowed $75,000 on my house to try to keep going and I had break downs. Plus some other loans for that. Then I fell off of my loaded hurt my back trying to keep up with bills and food. have surgery and something failed then Laser Spine Clinic closed so they want me to get a nerve shocker thing in my back but can’t right now.  Our daughter gave us a beautiful  granddaughter and got messed upon drugs and trying to get her help but she been gone for some time.

Well I been selling everything paying off what I could. I was selling the buisness and that fell through. So I went to school got my car Inspection license and put hoist in getting ready to open and I am out for money waiting for the state to inspect me. If any one could help out just a little just help me to I get open and get some income coming in that sure be great. I can make it this month but I so scared I can’t make house payments next month. My wife is working a Walmart stocking shelfs but its not enough. I got my granddaughter  that’s 3 and she needs stable and has no dad, So I am to old to lost it all. I refinanced once was all I could do. I pray a lot but I don’t think I’m heard with all that’s going on in this world. So please please help out what you can. Tell others  about me and my family who needs your help. And please help the sweetest little girl my granddaughter have a home to grow up in.  Thanks for reading my story,  You can also look up my buisness name and there name and driving directions its so confusing who is who.

Thank You Dan      show you care please paypal.me/pools/c/8fQ8cOcyoo

Family of 3 needs financial assistance immediately!

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.

Help after a car accident and domestic violence

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!

Less Than 12 hours before we are officially homeless

     I can’t believe I have fallen this far that this is what I have to do to survive but I am out of options.

     3 years ago everything was great. My fiance and I had an apartment. I had a job. She had surgery as a child on both of her upper thighs and hips so she was on disability. We had a car. Things were going well for us. I ended up losing a job and successfully applying for unemployment only to have the company I worked for appeal it and lie to get the judgement overturned and I had to repay every single cent. Over $3000 dollars. Having to do that meant we lost our only means of income and we were unfortunately evicted.

     After bouncing from friend to friend while I looked for a job I successfully gained employment with another company and we were able to get a new apartment and continue rebuilding.

     Unfortunately after only 6 months the company let me go. As I did not work for this company long enough to gain the required work credits for unemployment I could not file and again for a 2nd time I had to look at my fiance in the eyes and tell her we were being evicted again.

     This time without any friends or family of my own in the state we had to turn to her family. All that could be offered to us was a couch and a floor in the living room. So we packed all of our belongings into a storage unit and moved into her family’s apartment. I slept on the floor so my fiance would be able to sleep comfortably on the couch and not have any discomfort in her legs which are still a painful issue daily for her.

    During this time, I gained employment with a company that specializes in internet sweepstakes gambling. I knew this was not the best not safest job but I did what I had to do to survive. The company of course was shut down by the state and again I lost employment.   To make matters worse even though we had the required unemployment coverage on the car loan from the bank it no longer was able to cover the vehicle and it was repossessed.

    A good friend suggested I come to stay with him in another state and look for employment as the job market in his area was expanding due to growth and new construction so I did.

    I walked daily over 2 ½ miles each way to get us food. We have no vehicle. We have no home. It has now been 1 year. I have looked for employment. I would readily work in a fast food restaurant if I had too. My resume and age unfortunately screen me out from most simple jobs.I have borrowed from family leaving some members unable to take care of their bills. My father would never leave us in the street but unfortunately our time has come. We were roommates with a friend who decided 2 weeks ago that he no longer wanted to live in his house and would be renting it out fully as an income property.

    I have done everything I can think of. We tried to start a business selling adult toys as we found a free site online that paid commissions but that didn’t work. We thought about selling nudes of her but I refuse to let her do that. I have tried using my computer knowledge and skills to help people and make some side money to keep us floating but it’s definitely rough out here.

    We owe money to both of our fathers. They have kept us afloat. Her father just had eye surgery and my father has used the last of his monthly check to keep us with a roof over our heads. We have overdrafted her account to continue staying here at the hotel. I look for work daily until the late night/early morning hours willing to take any and all jobs.

    We do not need hundreds of thousands of dollars. We need enough to get a place to live. We found a complex that will give us a second chance based on our previous evictions. The cost is as follows

    The rent monthly is $920 which we can afford monthly. what we can’t afford is the deposit and fees to move in which total $3000.00.

    This would allow us to go home. A home would allow me to make sure she is safe and secure and I have somewhere to lay my head while I continue to search for work.

     I know I don’t deserve to ask for help but I have nowhere else to turn.

     I hope someone can find it in their hearts to help as we would pay it forward as soon as we are able too. . We can’t wait to help someone the way we have been helped.

     Even enough to cover the room for another night at 90$ would go along way to helping us.

     Thank you all and God Bless.

Eviction

Hello everyone, i am very sad to be writing that i just got evicted. I’m 21 years old and i was living with my father who was unable to afford our mortgage anymore.. So he moved in with his mother and my fiance and my cat & i are homeless now. We stay in our car but we are literally just going more broke and eventually someone is gonna die whether its us of a heatstroke or my cat. She gets fed well, and drinks a buttload of water but i just worry so much. I haven’t seen her pant or look like she’s distressed or hot. She definitely doesn’t wanna be living in a car tho.. Neither do we. We have literally 15 dollars left now and we need gas and food and we need to do laundry and stop sweating. I just want to stay in a hotel i miss it so much but we just can’t afford it right now. We can’t even afford 1 night stay right now.. I’m tired of my clothes sticking to me and visibly seeing my fiance sweat in his sleep. It’s absolutely heart breaking. And everyone in my family is just saying we’ll be fine and no one wants to help at all. So that brings me to why i’m writing on here. I hate begging for money or even asking someone for a simple dollar bill, but i have run out of options. I just need some form of money coming so i can stay at a hotel a few nights and continue working (DoorDash) and then i’ll be right back on my feet. I just haven’t been able to sleep in two days because of this and i’m almost constantly driving.. Please anyone that can help and has maybe been through this before and understands why i need help. Please. Just know if i had the money i’d help you in a heartbeat. And if no one helps me then thats okay too, i appreciate anything i can get. Even if you just read it and that’s it. Thank you. Also i’m in NJ, USA

helping college student in need

As many of you know being a college student is very hard because you are constantly worrying about being financially stable while receiving an education. I am currently enrolled in school right now working hard to major in chemistry, although I received scholarships it is not enough for me to take care of some upcoming problems. Right now I am trying to save money to buy a car which is something I depend on a lot in order to improve my life. Recently my car has began to show problems that are too expensive to fix and I can not afford to buy a new one while managing to pay off my classes. The reason I need a car is because I help my single mom out in the mornings by taking and picking up my siblings from high school and taking them to any soccer practices or choir practices they have. One of the reasons I need to buy a car is that I take care of my one year old brother while my mom is at work, meaning I carry him with me at all times and it can become difficult to carry a one year in an old car that can break down any minute. I am constantly worried that my car will break down on me while I have all the kids with me, and with the heat reaching up to 100 degrees where I live waiting on someone to pick you up or walking is not really an option you want to take. I also use my car to run errands for my grandparents and take them to doctor appointments which is often because all three of my grandparents visit the doctor regularly. When it comes time for me to go to school it is a 20 minute drive from my house to college and in order for me to get there on time and continue with my education I am not able to count on anyone else to take me. It is not only me that depends on my car but my whole family and with only one paycheck at the moment I am not able to save enough money anytime soon for me to buy a decent car. Any amount will be appreciated greatly as I know that some of us are going through hard times right now, if you contribute with any of the funding for this car I can not tell you how grateful I am thank you very much.
