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.

Soon to be homeless with Baby on way

My fiance and I have our first child on the way. We lived in a terrible neighbour in Clearwater, FL with stressful, poor paying jobs that would never allow us to save for a child. We moved in with my sister to be closer to family and to save some money, but it was tough to find jobs for a while.

Once we found jobs they expected us to give them everything we had, which wasn’t much considering we worked at pizza places. I also had to save for doctors appointments and pay back whatever debt I had as well. We thought everything was fine, but then we were told by my sister that they were moving out and leaving us without a place to go. This was the first we’d heard of any issues going on. When they first offered the place to us we informed them that it might take some time for us to find jobs and they told us they understood. Two months in is when they tell us we’re being kicked out. I have nothing in savings since I had to give them everything I had. On top of that my fiance was held at gunpoint the first day at his job. Luckily he didn’t sustain any injuries but a bullet went through his windshield and put his car out of commission. We currently don’t have the money to fix that either.

My fiance and I have nowhere to go and we are worried about the health and future of our baby. I’ve made pleas to Ellen DeGeneres as well as other websites to help us get on our feet for the sake of our baby. I even created a fundraiser to see if we might be able to get help that way. My goal is to try and raise $2000 to $3000 to cover our expenses such as a deposit for an apartment

Need One-Time Auto Insurance Renewal Payment Help Due to Job Loss

Hi my name is Cindi and I am asking for one-time help with my auto insurance renewal. I recently just lost my job of over 10 years due to budget cuts, I was blessed enough to find another job quickly but making a lot less and my auto insurance renewal is now due and is double because it is the renewal. It is $514.21 and is with Geico. I have been married 28 years and we have never asked for help. My husband has worked in a warehouse for 28 years and I have been an administrative assistant. I have 2 children and a grandchild. I appreciate any help that I can get with this, I have no family to ask for help. We live paycheck to paycheck right now due to the job loss and pay cut and we are doing the best we can. I am trying to have faith that someone can help and I would greatly appreciate the help as well and someday would love to pay it forward. I cant begin to express the stress that living paycheck to paycheck brings and just trying to make sure the basics are covered. I never dreamed at my age I would be starting all over again in the workforce. My husband and I both came from divorced families where college was not an option, although I did attend college online for as long as I could when my children were little. I hate asking for help and I will say it makes me feel bad and like I might be judged but when you are desperate to pay a bill you will do what is needed to ask for the help. Please know I would not be asking if I had any other alternative and this bill is very important in that we have to have our cars to get to and from work and without our auto insurance we cant legally dive our cars. I will be attaching a copy of the bill and the amount due and policy number so the need can be seen and verified. It would be a huge blessing to have this bill paid and time is very limited before we end up getting a cancellation notice if this isn’t paid quickly. Thank you so very much for taking the time to read this and understand our circumstance and need. It is very comforting to know there are still caring people left in this world we live in.

Please help me get my life back.

It all started to go wrong for me after the death of my closest relatives in 2008 I lost my mother to cancer, I watched her suffer for many years trying to fight off this terrible disease, her having this was bad enough but my grandmother was then also diagnosed with lung cancer. Even though my mum was poorly she looked after my grandmother, her mother, helping her wash clean go to the toilet etc she did all this wile going through the sickness associated with the cancer and chemo unfortunately later that year my mum and my Grandma both lost there battle and past away this broke my grandfathers heart and just before Christmas he also past away I think he really did die of a broken heart it was to much for him losing his daughter and wife of many years. My heart was also broken I fell into a deep depression and became very anxious something I had never had trouble with before I was always happy go lucky and the life and sole of the party. I found myself struggling to concentrate at work becoming more and more withdrawn from life eventually losing my job followed by my home as I couldn’t afford to keep up with payments on rent council tax etc. I also made the mistake of getting payday loans a type of short term borrowing option with high interest I’m sure you have heard of. Things have gone from bad to worse the debts began to mount and I eventually became homeless with no family to help me and no body to speak to. I sold everything I worked for over the years, including my car and contents of my previous home. The depression and anxiety became far worse and I found myself becoming scared of life itself I became very anti social and locked myself away from the outside.
I’m hoping for a chance of putting my life back together a fresh start if you like. I would love to get my debts cleared and put my credit score right so in the future I won’t struggle to get help with things like a mortgage or a small loan to help with my business idea’s I have qualifications in Information Technology and also in construction I have a license for forward tipping dumper also, and recently I created my own website offering a computer repair service. I’m currently living in a small town though and there isn’t any jobs in my line of work.
I’m dying to get back to work and make something of myself so my family would be proud of me if they where still around, but I have nothing anymore I really cant even afford clothes to look smart for an interview and not having a car means I cant travel to places to find the work I can do. I have been living off food parcels from the local church for quite sometime things have got so bad. I’m a hard working motivated individual usually but I have just found myself inbetween a rock and a hard place I don’t have the help that most people would normally have by asking family members for support, if there was anyone out there willing to help me I would be forever grateful I will prove to you I can support myself in the future and that you’re donation would not be put to waste. Thank you very much for reading. Please E-mail me for more information. This email isn’t linked to my paypal I would like to speak with you first before any donation was given to me as it wouldn’t feel right to receive anything without getting to speak with you.

Kind Regards
Danny

This was the weakest point of my life.  Before the divorce, he help me with all of my bills.  Now, I have been struggling since 2014.  My rent is too expensive for me.

My credit is horrible.  I was convinced to lease a car and now can’t afford it.  The lease is 525.00 and the insurance is too expensive, It’s 309.00.  I have to get extensions every month on my lights.  That bill average between 150.00 to 189.00.  I had my cable turn off.  I downgraded on my cellphone to Metro pcs.  I can’t get personal assistant because I work for salary.  I  work 7 days a week and Don’t make a penny more because I am on salary pay. My bring home is 450.00. It is very hard for me to something cheaper.  Every where is income restricted,  that I can afford. I need some assistance to get back on track and I don’t know where to start.  I live here with no family members.  I am struggling and need your help. I’m not going to ask for an amount because anything is appreciative.

In need of items for my rainbow baby!

Here’s my story…. I am in need of financial assistance due to being on bed rest currently. Over the last few years I have lost 7 pregnancies. I was working with each one and never thought I was harming myself by working because my doctors didn’t tell me. They couldn’t find a reason that this was all happening. We truly have always been financially ok with both of us working. Also, we have even moved to try to make his income work out.  I lost my son at 21 weeks due to my water breaking June 24 of last year. It was devastating. I sold everything I had because I just didn’t want to look at it. I couldn’t. I got pregnant again in June and now I am 35 weeks pregnant and believe this baby is my rainbow. I am excited yet stressed. My man, who has been my rock this whole time is struggling to keep us afloat at the moment because I can’t contribute to our income. I know bringing a life into this world is what I wanted but I feeling like a failure not being able to help. I go to school fulltime online and wait for each school check to help when I can. I’ve been to agencies, tried to get family and friends to help and nothing is working. We don’t have anything for our little girl yet but a crib. I hate that it has come to this but I really need help. If anything I would love to find a way to pay the money back or pay off the items sent. There just has to be a way to give it all back if I can. I didn’t know I would need to be on bed rest or I wouldn’t have tried again till after school. I was determined to give my amazing man a baby because he wanted one so bad. Now it is just killing me that I can’t help him , help us. This is my last resort to finding a way to provide for my family. 18554034_10155062541176609_2083301310_o.jpg

Family crisis and domestic violence

This year started out pretty rough with many friends of the family loosing battles with cancer or horrible tragic accidents stealing the lives of people we loved! Even going through that you never think hardship will sneak up on you that way. Then over the past few months one rain storm after the other has turned our world into a complete hurricane!! My mother in law has suffered from lupus for many years but was in remission and living a full Happy life! Then one day it all changed when she was admitted into the hospital. Leaving her unable to work and her pain barley manageable my husband and I agreed to sacrifice all the money we had to save her from being kicked out of her home where she takes care of her younger son as well. It was the right thing to do and we try our best to teach our young boys that family comes first! Just when we were running out of items to sell, pawn, or return, my sister called! My best friend my entire life and mother to 6 wonderful children finally confiding in my family that she is in a extremely abusive marriage and her and her children were in danger! The once strong confident woman that I loved and looked up to, was no longer the same. Beaten down and broken living in a 2 bed motel because her husband didn’t think they deserved any more. The children lost all their belongings and we’re forced to give their beloved animals to the pound, or they would he forced out of the only shelter they had. Between a few family members we have been able to get them out of the dangerous situation and free of abuse for now. But funds are dry and I’m running out of resources to continue to help my family. My husband and our two children have already had to move from our home and in with a couple of friends due to the amount of financial help my mother in law needs and now we are searching food banks and seeking pillows and blankets for all the children. I have never done anything like this before and I’m not so good at asking for help because I’m the one who loves to help!! However this extends beyond just me and my boys, this is about so much more. This family needs a second chance to be a normal family! Where they are safe, fed, loved unconditionally, and never have to worry about the mood dad’s coming home from work in. A second chance to realize that love is real and can even come from strangers they have never met! Our entire family needs a second chance, I don’t want these children to grow up believing that doing the right thing and helping others, will always take the food off their table. Please find it in your heart to show them second chances do exist! Thank you for your time!

No income whatsoever, finding work, help please

Hi. If any person out there is reading this, then I’m going to thank you in advance for doing so. I don’t expect many people to donate, but for people who do, if any, I would be so grateful.

My situation is this: I’ve been out of work for around a month and a half now, scrounging together whatever money I can to survive. I live alone in a house that is already paid off. I can’t afford to pay any bills. I literally have no electricity at the moment, no air conditioning or heat, and my water is going to get turned off any day now because I’m over 2 months behind on it. I got laid off of my job because business was slowing down, and I can’t collect unemployment.

Im using the wi-fi at my local McDonalds just to even type this out. I went to a job interview yesterday, and I’m waiting for them to run a background check on me and then invite me to a job interview after that, which should be fine as I have no criminal record.

I really want to work and provide for myself, and I will do so, but any help that I can get in the mean time would be so greatly appreciated. I would do just about anything for money, just to make each day go by a little better as I wait for this job to come through. Even if I do get it, which I should, it still will be two weeks before I get paid. Please help someone.

Thanks to anyone who helps.

Retired Veteran In Danger of Losing Life’s Possessions Friday in Storage Auction

I am in dire need of assistance and almost to the point of begging for it. I am a proud 22 year Retired Veteran that has gone through a very tough time beginning at the end of 2016 and unfortunately still deal with some of the effects stemming from it and simply seek relief. I lost funding for my business that helps veterans transition from the military and left me with little funds personally as well. After some time I lost my home, my car and had to pawn most of my valuables. I did manage to get my furniture and other belongings into storage during that time but now I am almost to the point of losing everything I own including all my military records , recognition, awards etc. I have attempted to land employment but ended up bouncing back and forth from being homeless to sleeping on relatives couches when I could. I have asked for all types of assistance from various agencies that say they help veterans but some sort of way I never fully qualify for the assistance even though I have a stellar 22-year record. I have literally begged for any time of financial assistance from Veteran agencies all across the country and all I have received is offers of food voucher or that I do not meet their criteria for assistance, although I would figure a 22 year honorably discharged veteran going through what I currently am would be more than qualified to assist. I just recently found a position with Amazon working from home. It is not much but it is a start. The problem is I must maintain internet at the places I am residing and be able to attend every day of training. My first check will not be for a few weeks and in the meantime, there are things that need to be done in order for me to survive to the point of being able to get back on my feet. I have not had a haircut in over a month and a half and have had to turn down very nice interviews because of it. I live off p and j sandwiches for the most part and have joint custody of my 10-year-old that I can barely see now yet still have my responsibilities to him and that part is killing me. Still to this date I do not have enough money to do any of that and save my life’s belongings that are in storage that is scheduled for auction on the 14th of this month if I do not come up with $400 and everything I own and all my family memories including my military awards and decorations and the family photos of my mom and dad are in that storage. Every time I get just enough assistance to pay one of the bills then I only get further behind or it only helps temporarily because I need enough to simply get past this little period of time and get my affairs in order. I just pawned my Army recruiter ring a few weeks ago and it is also past due along with other things that keep falling further behind. I am not asking for a handout just enough to pay my storage up, a little extra to get myself together physically and enough to maintain my phone services, cable etc for my new position and then a little to make sure I can provide food and necessities to make it a few more weeks until pay becomes consistent and the United Way has agreed  to give me $1000 toward a deposit on a home. So I am close but if I do not get some financial assistance soon I will lose all the progress and be set back even further, I have yet to earn a check due to not being able to maintain a consistent residence .That storage also holds everything I need to reestablish my home when I get it and that is very important because I also have a 10-year old that I have joint custody for and his belongings are in there as well. In the process of moving back and forth, I have injured my knee some sort of way but can not afford time to get it looked at and I am also responsible for assisting in taking care of my very ill father who since I am in my current state is in living conditions that are VERY poor. He is now in end stage and I try and manage to see and care for him when I can with usually only 20 or so dollars in my pocket I need help and I need it fast. My daughter was just incarcerated and will be held until the 22nd of this month and I on top of everything elsetrying to help with my grandkids until she gets out and I in my situation cannot really afford to care for them the way they deserve and need to be able to focus on my work from home job at Amazon and continue to look for employment as well. Anything you can do in the way of financial assistance or refer me to quickly would be great. I am not looking for handouts I will pay back any loan, grant or assistance if necessary I have spent my entire time after retirement helping veterans get jobs and also starting a youth program that teaches life skills. I am just someone dealing with a lot and needing a little space so I can get back on my feet. Losing my belongings would be devastating to me and my 10-year-old and I honestly do not know how many more setbacks I can take as I am starting to have trouble concentrating. I have already reached out to the relief society for the Army and I have reached my loan limit with them. Need help or a resource soon as possible. I will pay it back if necessary. Thanks for your time and please help me and my family. I have also already reached out to relatives….no one is able to assist at this time. All my life’s possessions WILL soon be auctioned off and the bill gets higher every day. So many people and agencies always say they are here for veterans but I am almost tired of sending out letters only to be rejected. Many of those times if I was assisted early in this process I could have recovered before it got to this point. I am almost ready to just give up but my 10-year-old and the pride I have as a veteran stops me from doing that. As I mentioned I am not looking for a handout I would pay back every single dime once back on my feet as all I have done is help veterans. Throughout all of this turmoil, I have continued to support my youth program although I am barely making it and still will do what I can for a fellow veteran although I can barely eat or sleep. I am beginning to lose it and having trouble concentrating. Just need enough assistance to get past getting my storage out, getting into an apartment so I can work this new job(s) and get my life back before it is completely destroyed. I am desperate but can not go this way much longer. Anything you can do or a real source and not another run around would be appreciated. I am so close please somebody help and not the same responses I have gotten for the last 4 or 5 months, please!!! Please, someone, help me not lose my belongings and get enough just to sustain the transition that is possible. I need $300 more now, I got $100 and my military medical records are in there.

Need Help to pay rent and utilities

When my husband and I got married 19 years ago we were living with my parents. Then in 2000 we both lost our jobs so my husband went to work for my dad. My dad owned his own heating & air conditioning business. My husband worked for him for 15 years. Things were really bad we still lived with my parents. In 2004 our son was born and in 2005 our daughter was born. I stayed home with them and worked part time. In 2004 my dad hurt his back and my husband had to take of everything. It tore all of us apart the turmoil between all of us was unbearable. My dads business starting shutting down we barely had enough money to live. Even with my parents. In 2010 my husband started an electronics recycling company. it has been really hard because whatever money came in we had to support our 2 kids and us and my parents and little sister. In 2013 i was able to get a full time job. Then my mom had a hip replacement on 2014 and had to quit her job and go on disability. then that November my dad had a stroke and a massive blood clot. My husband and i have tried to move out so many times but because of my family needing us and my husband and I barely making enough to pay our car payment, rent, (my parents rented the house we lived in and we split the rent) cable, cell phone, and food for 7 people. We never had enough money. Well the landlord wanted to sell the house and July 2016 we all had to move out. So yes finally after 21 years my husband and I finally moved into our own home which we rent. But since we  moved our business like stopped. We have been trying to build it up but it’s hard when you have no money for marketing. Since we moved in we have been behind on all of our bills except the car. We were 3 months behind on rent until we got our taxes and caught up. June and July’s rent have been paid. But because we had a really hard year our landlord will not sign a year lease we are on month to month now. So if we are not on time we could be evicted. We also are really behind on Comed and Nicor we just got shut off notices. My husband has no work coming in. He has tried to get a job but no one will hire him because he has been self employed for over 17 years. But he want’s to continue this business because he is so passionate about recycling computers and other electronics. We are trying to get into businesses but it’s very hard. I have asked for help from churches and salvation army around my house and they helped use when we first moved in and they can’t help until September. I have reached out to our township they were very rude and no one even the state or government can help us because I make too much. I can’t even get food stamps. I make 37,000 a year and pay for health ins for my husband and I. we were lucky to be able to keep the kids on Medicaid ins. Please we really need to help to pay Augusts rent and our utilities. My husband is waiting to hear from a really big job but we won’t find out until the middle of August. that is why i am reaching out for help.  I also really need help to get my kids clothes, shoes and pay for their school fees from last year and this year. We can’t get help for that either because i make too much. We need like 4,000 to be able to catch up and be in a safe place with our bills. Rent 1300, Comed 400, Nicor Gas 400, Water 200, School 500, Cell 700, car 500. Comed, nicor, water, cell and car are over a month behind. We really need to get help.  Here is my pay pal link paypal.me/LynnLesniewski

Hope After Cancer Surgery

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am really not in the habit of asking for money. I was a hard worker, a teacher and a waitress, for many many years. I brought up two boys on my own as a single mom. I was very good with money. I bought one house for us, it doubled in price, I sold it and bought another one in Oregon where the air is so clean. My boys grew up well honored and our self-sustaining, independent people. They’re happy as well. They aren’t wealthy but they have their own businesses and do OK getting bye and happy. As for me I got cancer and they try to help me a bit because I was no longer working in because my Social Security is quite small.

Some of my family trying to help me through some of my bills after my operation. But they have their own families of their own lives. I had a very hard time after my cancer was removed from my breast. I have what they call costochondritis. That means that I get inflammation of the rib cage which causes excruciating pain. This disabled me to the point where I couldn’t go back to work. So I found a solution. I have travelled in my younger days to Asia’s so I decided to go back hoping it was cheap enough that my Social Security would sustain me. I am now in Vietnam. I went to different places where my Social Security was not enough. Then I found Cambodia and Vietnam and realize that these are the best places as far as my income goes. But for the last year of travelling I went to places that were a little more expensive and I got into a little bit of a financial bind. I had some money taken from a website that offer to housing and got a little bit behind. This put me behind on some credit card bills, I have two credit cards. I had good credit before, but I rented out my house in Oregon and my renters stopped paying suddenly on the first of this month. My Social Security was all going for bills that I used to fix up the house so that I could rent it, like putting in a well. My spring have been wiped out by a flood which FEMA didn’t cover. So my renter who was on a lease to own agreement because I wanted her to be responsible for the repairs, didn’t pay me because the septic backed up. But she didn’t tell me about it and she didn’t tell me she wasn’t going to pay it so this is been quite the shock. Because I was just on my way to the north of Vietnam to get a job paying 3000 a month as an English teacher.

I’m starting to feel well enough to work. The thing is I’m in Ho Chi Minh. I need to get to the north to be in Hanoi. It cost $55 to get there. I also need $1500 for the new septic tank and 1500 for labor to put it in. Right now I have shabby clothes. So I need interview clothes. It’s less humid in Hanoi and The humidity makes my chest swell which gives a lot of pain. So that’s why I want to go up north to get a job instead of staying here. Right now this minute I have four dollars to my name. if I can get the septic fixed my renter will pay me., it’s in she have the septic comped she won’t be able to pay me until August 1. If I have enough money for a skirt and blouse and shoes because I don’t want to interview in rags and if I have enough for food for a week and housing for a week I should be able to get a job. The job I want has accommodations free if I get that particular job. So if I get another job that doesn’t have housing I would need housing and food for a month because teachers get paid every month year. Living expenses here would be about $500 to 600 a month. So to round out a figure of about 4000 would set me up here so that I could be self-sustaining myself and not try to get money out of relatives who can’t afford to help me. It would be so helpful and I would be on the road to total independence again. Plus I would be forever grateful. I have a PayPal account. PayPal.me/kaygillett4000. I am a writer as well as an English teacher. I have been working on a book to help women and men as well who are in domestic violence situations. Please help me get on a clear path again. I apologize for not seeing a picture, but they weren’t accepted.

I’m the wage earner in our household as my husband has heart issues & copd and the dr won’t release him to work this has been going on for about 3yrs and normally isn’t an issue because I love my husband and don’t mind taking care of him and our 3 children (12, 15, 16) ! But I’ve missed so much work the last 3wks spending as much time 3 1/2 hrs from home with his dad as we can before he passes And I cannot pay my bills or buy school clothes and supplies for our kids because I’ve used all my assets including pawning my valuables and maxing out my credit card ! I’ve cried and cried for the loss my family is experiencing and the fact that I just can’t make ends meet at all due to the unexpected emergencies with my father in law . I don’t know what to do or where else to turn if I don’t come up with $380 for my lights in one week they will be cut off the total bill is $800 , my car is a month behind $340 , my phone will be disconnected in 4days $50, my trash service has already been stopped $48 ,I can’t even afford to buy a $12 bag of feed for my chickens!!  All I can do is cry & pray that some great miracle will happen so that we don’t loose everything while we loose my father in law …….  If there’s anyone out there who can help us please please do we will be forever grateful and promise to pay it forward and do the same to help others out when we get back on our feet!!

Hungry and losing hope fast

I lost my job as a teacher, and I have been waiting for unemployment for weeks.  My husband and I both have chronic medical conditions that require ongoing medical treatment.  Between rent, bills, and car payments (as well as car insurance) we have no money for food or medical care.  We can’t afford to get to and from our doctor or to pay for our medications (we take over 30 pills between the 2 of us per day, morning and night).  The copays plus all the medications we take cost over $150 a month.  Then you include blood tests to insure that the medications haven’t caused any organ damage/failure and that month is over $250, even with health insurance, prescription plans and dental insurance.

My husband’s molar cracked, and pieces of tooth are still embedded in his gums because it wasn’t a clean break.  We just moved to a new apartment, but it required 2 months of rent to secure it.  We knew money would be tight, but we were living in a gang ridden neighbourhood for over 1 year to survive financially.  We need to feel safe in order to maintain our “health,” and it is a daily struggle; so moving was imperative.  Living in that dangerous neighborhood has taken it’s toll, so we moved once we found this new place.

After waiting this long for unemployment, and with no guarantee of securing it (even though my position was eliminated and I am eligible to receive it according to all the criteria) we have exhausted any and all savings we had.  There is one to borrow money from except each other; so now we have no food money.  We were homeless years ago because I was too sick to work.  But we came back from it stronger; we found a place to live and a modest vehicle to get me to work.  My husband can’t work due to his disability.  Please help us out.  Crying over this has wreaked havoc on my health and my eyes are swollen.  I can’t watch my husband lose his will to fight because homelessness and hunger seem to be inevitable again.  I fought so hard to pull us out of that ditch, but I’ve run out of hope.  Please spare anything, even change; it’s much better than the nothing that we currently are facing.

Thank you and please keep us in your prayers.1499815929190-1941756994.jpg

 

 

Veteran has become overwhelmed

It has come to this I see.  A once proud, confident and capable man.  Arrogant, some would say.  And rightfully so.  I was.  I deserved to be.  I served proudly in the U.S. Army for 10 years.  In 2 wars, a foreign occupation, and 2 peace keeping missions.  I defended the innocent, thrown myself into harms way, protected the innocent, and held the dying in my hands because of the genocide that ran rampant through their country.  I have bled and wept for this honor.  The physical wounds have healed, their scars only a reminder.  It’s the mental wounds that leave me in anguish.  That never seem to heal.  That have finally taken a toll, such that I am left nearly defeated.

It has come to this.  PTSD.  An evil, creeping, unseen and misunderstood wound.  It manifest in many ways and can take years to develop.  And it has its claws deep in me now.  I have been unable to work for over a year because of flashes of anger.  Fear rules my days, and dreams torment my nights.  Days at a time without sleep and depression often make me lose a job.  The anxiety, claustrophobia and paranoia have done that as well.

It has come to this.  The machine that is the V.A. is very skeptical to grant disability for mental disorders.  Even though one of their own psychiatrist diagnosis it.  Same with Social security.  I have fallen so far behind on my bills I am now at risk of being homeless.  I have already lost my car and sold everything I own to keep moving forward. None the less I am at rock bottom.

Now it has come to this.  On the bright side, my Dr. has done well for me.  Her therapy and compassion has put me on a path that will lead to wellness.  It will be a long and hard road, but I will make it.  I feel confident enough to have an interview this week for work.  I may be down, but not out.  But in order to make it, I need a battle buddy in the worst way.  I need transportation to this job, and living in a rural area, public transportation is not an option.  I also need a place to sleep, shower and exist until I get my self squared away again.  Any help in helping me heal and move on would be greatly appreciated.  It would not go to waste.  A warrior may hurt, but a warrior will never give in no matter the cost.  I will make it, but I need a little help.  I thank you for your time and consideration.

Help My Children


Please help my children . To begin with I’m going to lose my house. I am seeking legal help which is not cheap so it’s on hold for now. My ex fiance walked out 1wk b4 Chrissy last year leaving his 6yr old and myself plus my 2 other children in alot of financial debt. We have a mortgage to pay but unfortunately being on a single parent pension with other bills, food and everything else in life it’s not easy. With my age and fibromyalgia it’s really hard to find someone to employ me. My 6yr old loves to dance but that comes with fees. I’m trying my best to provide for my children even to the extent of putting a ad on a site just to make ends meet. I am at my lowest of lows and I’m asking please help my children.  Thank you for taking time out to read my story.  God bless x


  
Family of 6 Drowning in Debt


I am a mom of four beautiful children asking for some help for my family and I.  We have been in a financial crisis ever since my husband lost his job and we had to relocate to a very high cost of living area when an opportunity for work arose.  We moved 12 hours away from any family members who often provided support for our family in times of need.  The relocation and mountains of student loan debt have made it very difficult to get ahead.  My husband works 12 hour days and has little time to enjoy his family.  I work part time (yes I will go full time as my children are bigger but I have 2 very young children and one who has significant needs that make working full time hard for our family) so most of my salary is poured back into childcare.  We are living paycheck to paycheck and if any crisis comes up…a sick child, a car issue, therapy for our youngest, or an unplanned expense we just dig deeper into debt.  I have had to use credit cards to cover month to month expenses and those have piled up.  My husband has a father who basically dropped  him from his life as soon as he turned 18.  In turn he took on a ton of student loans to complete his college degree.  Then as he finished school repayment was in issue.  He was not ready to pay the loan back and did a few things that still affect him today.  We both have student debt that takes about $1000 dollars of our monthly income.  My husband has poor credit from not paying on these student loans in the initial years of repayment  and in hard times.  He also has very little credit history.    We just need a break.  We have done all that we can to better ourselves…we both graduated from college and I even have my masters degree.  We haven’t ever been on a true vacation, we rarely eat out unless it is fast food because we cook most meals to save money, we aren’t out shopping for the latest and greatest,  we buy what is needed, and buy things for our children only on birthdays and holidays.  The problem is we look like we make enough so we don’t get any help anywhere.  We make enough on paper but our student loan debt is choking us.  We would love to buy a home, but we don’t have a down payment and do not qualify for a decent loan.  If we could even get a home versus paying an obscene amount in rent in the area we live that would leave us with a great deal more a month.   We would love to pay down our debts to so that we can live more comfortably and have money to save for a home.  We are both in our forties with young children.  At this rate, I will be working until I am in my 80s trying to pay back my debt and care for my children and their education.  We are the working middle class family who is struggling.  We are working, contributing to society, caring and loving our children, and helping those in our community by giving of our time.  My dream one day is to be financially fit enough to use my income for freely to help others.  I just hope that in the present time I can feel a bit less suffocated by debt.  If you are looking for a family to help we would forever be grateful.  We are the everyday family who is struggling to make ends meet.

Last resort


Have you ever felt like you were trying to dig yourself out of a hole and the dirt is just falling down on top of you?  That is where I am at this point. In July 2015 I found out that I had a blood cut in by leg from the knee to the ankle in an artery and I had an 8 pound tumor on too of my uterus that was causing me to bleed out. From then until November I had several blood transfusions and surgeries. The bleeding out stopped, they restored a little blood flow in the leg. Then told me I have several blood clots in the arteries under my lungs and one in my aorta. I then developed an infection in my abdomen which required a wound vac and eventually another surgery. I missed a lot of work and am the sole provider. Any money saved was gone to co-pays and bills while no money came in. Things began to look up and then November 2016 I was layer off and was not hired again until March 2017. And in March my landlord raised the rent 200…We moved in May to a much smaller place to reduce bills but are behind and struggling to hold on. I lost one car already and have sold anything I can to keep lights and water and rent paid. Everything is seriously behind and I have used every extension I can. I know others may have it worse but I am falling and need a little help to get back on track. Due to losing my job in November I also was uninsured so have been off my medications as well, I could keep on but even I can’t believe all that has happened this last year and a half. The stress is overwhelming.


  
Urgent need help


Hello and sorry for my bad English.


I’m in a difficult situation because the online company I worked for closed up.


For months I have not seen the salary and I need urgent help to pay for water, energy and gas bills.


I also have pets that have been living with me for many years and they are all my life.


I urgently need within 10 days because they will cut off my home energy and water. I waited until this moment because I was hoping the money would come. The company, on the other hand, is unable to pay because of the problems of the crisis.


For months I don’t work and in September I will be without a job.


For me it’s not easy to find a job because I have important physical problems (but I don’t have any retirement for this). Here in Italy unfortunately social assistance does not work at all. Besides, I have a small house, so according to the law I do not expect any subsidies.


The situation for me at this time is really serious as I can barely buy to eat. So I ask someone who can afford to give something to help me deal with a moment I consider tragic.


I had thought of selling the house, but it’s very old and for crisis period it has little value, so I would end up staying without money and even without a home.


I talked about my animals before. I could not get away from them as they to me.


Any donation to me is very important because I have to be able to carry on until September when I should have a new job if everything goes well.


I apologize for the urgent request but I absolutely have to find the money by 15-16 of July. The electric company does not accept any further referrals.


If necessary I can prove to anyone my need. Among other things, it is difficult to ask for me because I have never been in such a situation and I would never think that I was facing such a serious problem.


Unfortunately, my age and my health problems do not allow me to find easy work offline and in Italy very few companies offer serious online work.


I would also like to ask if any of you have the opportunity to offer me a serious job.


I thank all those who will help me to deal with this moment. I know that I will never know you to thank you personally, but please help me.

Please Help If You Can!


Hello to everyone out there and thank you for taking the time to read my story. I’ve faced many problems throughout life, but I am currently at an all time low. I’d say the bulk of my problems began when I started college 4 years ago. College started off great. I met new people. I had a 4.02 GPA at the end of my first year. It seemed as if everything was on track and the next 3 years would be a breeze. I was wrong.


As a first generation college student, I wasn’t prepared for some of the trouble that would come along. At the beginning of my sophomore year I was raped and held hostage for over 24 hours and from that moment my life hasn’t been the same. I began to suffer from depression and anxiety which as time went by it got worse and worse. I cried out for help, but no one listened. Eventually I suffered a nervous breakdown and ended up in a mental institution.


After regaining my mental health, I wasn’t just going to sit and let that stop me from accomplishing my goal of being the first in my family to graduate. I picked myself back up,got back to school,  worked 2 jobs, and maintained my own apartment. Obviously with two jobs plus school, stress levels were high, but I was doing pretty well will managing my anxiety. But that’s when the evil forces returned.


My home was broken into. They completely destroyed my home and even tried to blow it up. The gas lines were tampered with. The batteries were removed from the smoke detector. And the patio door was left slightly cracked to let the smell of gas air out. Unfortunately, police never found who did this to my home. I was told that I had to move out immediately. Just a week later, I was told I was being laid off from my job due to budget cuts. This left me homeless and jobless. On top of that, I have ran out of scholarship money and was forced to drop out during my last semester of school. Here I am, left to face all of these problems alone because my whole family recently relocated to a new state and couldn’t afford too take me along. Being 22 years old, I was pretty much told just to figure it out. Currently, I work but I only make $80 a week. Its certainly not enough to afford an apartment, so I use the money for food and gas and just sleep in my car. I have been on a job search and hopefully will have an offer come in soon. With all that is going on I have become severely depressed and anxious again. I spend most of my days (outside of work) in tears, begging god for help. I have even had multiple nervous breakdowns in the past few weeks, but cannot afford to seek medical attention for them.


This is an all time low for me and I just need a little help getting on my feet. Any donation will help, even if it is just a dollar. Please find it in your heart to donate.

Widowed Disabled Woman in Search of Help


I’ve never made anything like this before but then again I’ve never been in a situation quite like this before.


My name is Joanie and I am a 61 year old widower. My husband died in May of 2015 unexpectedly. I am also disabled. I have had a stroke and been paralyzed before therapy and hard work gave me the ability to walk again with assistance, I have had cancer, and emergency heart surgery and most recently I have had a partial amputation.


The costs of this funeral plus all of these medical bills and prescriptions are exorbitantly high and since my husbands passing and my inability to work the debts and bills have mounted.  Due to these medical bills I have a horrendous credit score lower than 500. This means I cannot get a loan anywhere. I have the money to pay it back over time just not the credit score to receive it.


I only have one vehicle that I use to get to my doctor’s appointments and to get groceries and pay my bills and it was repoed last week due to late payments.


I owed less than $5,000 on it so they refuse to refinance with me. To get my vehicle back I must pay it in full along with their fees which add up to $5,300.00 I barely have $100 at the moment and that’s spoken for by the electric company.


Please I need some help. I need $5,300.00 before July 9, 2017  I would definitely be willing to set up payments to pay you back for any help provided. I am in desperate need. Please anyone that can, please help me.


Thank you and blessings,


Joanie B.


  
Teen in need


Hi I am Lisa. I am 19 years old. I need a bit of help though! Growing up my mom and I never had a good relationship. We fought everyday and she even got abusive. I came out as bi to her in 2013, and she did not like that. Her and my brother used to call me names, hit me with their hands, fists, chairs, etc. With all this happening, it put me into a deep deep deep depression. I was in and out of mental hospitals, foster homes and i missed a total of 109 days from school my junior year. I would love to go to college but i have multiple mental disabilities such as depression, anxiety, ptsd, bipolar 1, border line personality and a learning disability in math. I cannot work, I have tried to but not many places will hire me with my disabilities. My mom kicked me out and I am struggling to make ends meet. I don’t have clothes and when i ask her to help with clothing or food she turns me down and shuts me away. Being adopted by her i would hope she would be different. I really need someone or some people to help me financially until i can get ssi approved. Please let there be a caring individual help me, the money would go towards housing, clothing , food and counseling. Thank you for reading! Have a good day. My paypal me is paypal.me/lisapraz


  
Please Help Nowhere Else To Turn


Hi, I’m a 47 year old male.  I have type 2 diabetes, bad knees, bad shoulders, bad back, and bad luck.  I’ve been looking for work for the past year and a half with only two job interviews to show for it.  I’ve had my resume on Indeed for some time now.  My employment insurance ran out 3 weeks ago as of this plea, and I have no income.  I honestly would like to give up this life but I believe in God and if I do give up there is no way I can be with God.


I haven’t paid my rent this month.  I just tried to get help from social services but was denied.  I was denied because I still live with my former fiancee.  She and I are great friends and we had a living arrangement to reduce costs for both of us.  She is going to have her gall bladder removed later this month and she had to book two weeks holidays to have the surgery.  We live in a community where the cost of living is very high.  I can’t live off of her income as she makes very little as a dishwasher.  I just overheard her on the phone looking for a home for herself.


In 2003, I worked for a mobile sign company.  I injured my back when a gust of wind blew a sign on top of me.  The injury is a compressed disc in my lower back.  In 2012 I was a dock worker and would occasionally shunt trailers.  One night I was getting into a truck and I tore the ACL in my right knee.  I continued to work, causing injury to my left knee due to being overworked as I was favoring the right knee.  It took months to have my knees looked at and I finally had my ACL replaced.  They still don’t know what is wrong with the left knee but I’m in pain daily.  I have no idea how I injured the shoulders but an MRI showed I have torn rotator cuffs.  The diabetes started shortly after the knees as I had put on a lot of weight.


I just got my first notice from my landlord for non payment of rent today.  I’ve been praying for God to help me find work but am still unemployed.  Every night now, I pray for God to take me from this world so I can start over in a new life.  I don’t know what else to do and have nowhere else to turn.  I don’t drink, don’t do drugs, and am considered a nice person.  If the shoe were on the other foot, and you were asking for help, I would help instantly.  Unfortunately, I’ve never been in that position.  If I ever won the lottery, my dream is to find other people in my situation and help them out.


I had a decent vehicle up until about 6 months ago but a front strut bearing seized and I kept driving it because I could not afford the repairs. Eventually, the front spring broke making the car un-driveable.  Instead of giving the car to a scrapper where they could profit, I gave it to a young father in my community.  He repaired the car and sold it.  I bought a 500.00 car in hopes of finding work.  Now that car has over heating problems, and worn wheel bearings, high mileage, and is sure to break down soon.  Therefore I can’t sell the car as it has no worth.


My last job interview was 2 weeks ago and I went for a drug test, and a driving test.  It was for a P and D driver position.  I was told they would let me  know either way and I was so excited.  I haven’t heard a peep so I called, and the manager is currently on 3 weeks vacation.  I didn’t get the position.


I know there are a lot of scammers out there and if you think I’m one of them, feel free to contact me and I can verify everything I’ve written.  I wish this life was over but it’s not.  I’ve never been the type to rely on others but I don’t know what to do anymore.  Please help take the burden off.  I continue to pray.


  
I’m in debt crisis, please help me


Hello everyone. Firstly, I’d like to thank you for clicking on this page, and I apologize, I’m not very good at writing posts such as this. Please excuse any foolish mistake that I might make in this post, English is not my mother tongue. I disdain being in this position, asking people for money, but I’m afraid I don’t have any other choice… I’m Michael, I’m 18 years old and I grew up in a poor family of 6 people in terrible conditions. We used to live in a tiny apartment, which we later abandoned due to debt issues. Currently, we live in another house that is in a bad shape, it’s 50 years old and it has construction issues, it lacks thermal, fire and impact insulations and a handful of walls were riddled when we first purchased it. The house is big, sustainable for our family and paid at a relatively small price in instalments, which is why we stuck to this one. My father suffers from bipolar disorder and is taking medication and visiting a therapist (Which costs around $6,500 each year in total), my mother has problems with her legs and requires surgery (I apologize for not having enough information in that regard, I’ve tried to ask her multiple times but she doesn’t want to talk about it, her surgery costs several thousand dollars), my older brother is struggling to find a job, my older sister now has a child and she and her husband do need money from time to time to raise my nephew, and my little sister is often bullied in school because she does not always have everything she needs, like new clothes. I’m suffering from depression for a couple years now due to this and the fact that I’m unable to help them. I’ve tried multiple times in the past without any success. I’ve tried looking at part-time jobs, but I was unable to find any at my age (At the time). I graduated in computer science, and I want to become a game developer, but I do not have a computer anymore, I’m typing this from my friend’s computer. Our computer was wrecked last year and it was powerful enough to sustain my needs. I wanted to help them so badly and I stumbled upon this website. I do not ask from you to help pay my financial issues… I’m begging you, please, to donate to me $400. If you’re wondering why I’m asking for such a small amount of money in comparison to our debts, the answer is this: I’m done being a bargain, unemployed, jobless. I’m tired of seeing my family suffer. I’m tired of seeing our debts increasing, and my mother struggling to spare enough money for us to survive. I want and wanted to take action at a very young age. I found an offer online to purchase a good workstation for $400, and from that I’ll start as a freelancer programmer, write programs, create webpages, etc… Whatever pays. I have the motivation to work for 16 hours straight. I do not care what happens to me. All I want is to help my family… Deep-down they are great people who have taught me many things. I’m sick of being in this helpless position. I believe there’s good in humanity, that people do have the kindness to help other people, otherwise this website would never exist… I’m terribly sorry I’m asking from you money… Please believe me, I’d never do that if I didn’t have to. I realize some of you might be going through the same, and/or perhaps even worse… If you do, please, I encourage you to create a page on this website. I’m not an advertiser. I’m sure there are people that have the good to help other people…


This is my mother’s PayPal.me link. I don’t have a bank account yet. http://www.paypal.me/kgmike


I apologize for the long state of this message, I’m sure you understand… Thank you very much for reading, and I’m sorry for the sap. I couldn’t contain it… I’d really appreciate it if you could help me. Thank you once again, I wish you the best in life and peace. Much love.


  
Young working girl who lost car


I am a 24 year old female who works 40+ hours a week at an assisted living home. I will be completing my bachelors degree in psychology at the end of the year with intentions to become a social worker. I work very hard at my job. I take care of the elderly and I really love doing it. I have a passion for providing people with good personal care and helping maintain their dignity at the end of their life. I love the relationships I have built with my residents and how much they depend on me to help them daily. I unfortunately don’t get paid very much, but I manage to survive. Between my tuition, car payment, rent and bills, I don’t have much money leftover to save. Yesterday, my car was repossessed while I was at work. I had missed a couple payments at the beginning of the year when I was in the process of moving. I have been paying down the debt in small amounts over the past few months. I was in contact with my loan provider who warned me repossession was possible, but unlikely since I hadn’t abandoned my payments. When I called yesterday after being told by a coworker my car was repossessed, they told me after 45 days of being late, they send my information to the collection agency and my car can be repossessed without warning. Without my car, I cannot get to work or school. I am hoping somebody would be kind enough to donate whatever they can to help me get my car back. The loan provider told me I needed to pay my loan in full in order to get my car back. That is around $15,000. It is a 2016 Ford Focus that I worked very hard to purchase in the first place. This repossession has really shaken me up and I have nobody to ask for help. Any amount of donation would be helpful. I am really hoping there are kind and wealthy people who are looking to help somebody like me. I’m doing everything I can to make as much money as I can to retrieve my car, but $15,000 is a lot to earn in 15 days. I am a good person who puts out positive energy into the world not only by helping my residents, but by helping anybody I can in any way. I believe in “paying it forward” and karma. I am hoping and praying a miracle can be made for me on this website. Thank you for taking the time to read this and if you donate, an even bigger thank you.

Help Us Stay Home


I was raised by a strong woman who taught me to be independent and ward working, but life has gotten the best of me and now I am asking for your help. I know there are hundreds of people online asking for financial help, and you may be wondering why am I different. Well honestly, I’m not. Life has its ups and downs, but I find myself in a hole that I cannot get out of without asking for assistance.


My grandmother adopted me at four days old out of a bad situation. She worked two jobs to make sure I had everything, and stopped her life to raise me. As I got older I realized all she had done for me and promised her that I would care for her myself and never put her in a nursing home. We both know that abuse and neglect can happen and I would never want her to be unhappy or in harm’s way. I moved from Connecticut to Colorado in search of a new and better life, where I could work and provide for her. I started working a great job, but it was through a staffing agency and was only temporary. I thought that I could easily find another job with my educational background, and I did. However, because I am my mother’s caregiver and she was getting ready for heart surgery, she had a lot of doctor’s appointments. My employer ended up firing me because I had to come in late to take her to the appointment; and since I was employed through another staffing agency I was ineligible for unemployment.


Things after that got worse. I put in dozens of applications daily, but no calls. I started getting behind on my rent, utilities, and my car. I tried to stay afloat but I just couldn’t. My mother and I were evicted and she kept my security deposit, so we were homeless for two months until I could save for a new place. Although, I was and am working my car has been repossessed and I have to walk 5 miles to work, work a 9 hour shift as a custodian, then walk back home 5 miles. I leave at 2:00 p.m. and return home at 4:00 a.m. I can’t take her to her appointments because we have outstanding medical bills, we have no food in the house because we cannot afford it. We usually eat popcorn and Raman when we can afford it for substance. I tried to get her on food stamps, but her social security is “too much” at just over $1,000 a month. We have lost everything and I have no family to ask for help since they disowned us when she adopted me. All my friends have families of their own to take care of, so it is just the two of us.


I am asking for your help, so I may get back on my feet. I have never asked anyone for help, but I don’t know what else to do, I am at my breaking point and have hit rock bottom. Anything you can donate to food, rent, and helping me get transportation again would be so appreciated that words cannot describe it. Just taking the time to read my story means so very much to me. I never thought I would be in this situation, but now that I am I am asking for help. Please, help me keep my promise to my mother, and help us stay home.


Thank you!

Help me get out of domestic violence


So, I need some help.


I am a mom of 2, I go to school full time and work 2 jobs. I am trying my hardest to save money to get out of the situation I am in, but paying for school on minimum wage plus bills is killing me.


I need to get out of my boyfriend’s house. I signed up for section 8 and applied to low income housing, but the wait lists are insane. I won’t be done with school for 3 years, when I’m done I’ll be making good money as an RN (I am in the process of getting my Bachelors of Science in Nursing.) But until then I am barely scraping by.


I went to go to the women’s shelter but it is full, and they told me even if they had an open spot most of the other women are meth addicts and are high almost constantly and I don’t want my kids seeing the things they told me these women do.


I am now facing 3 surgeries this summer to fix damage done to me by my boyfriend, who I obviously am breaking up with asap, but can’t leave until I am afraid of what will happen if I break up with him before I have somewhere for my children and myself.


I can’t take this anymore, I’m constantly terrified, and I really don’t know what will happen next, every time something happens it’s worse than the time before, not to mention I’m afraid my grades will slip if this stress continues. It’s impossible to focus on my studies when I have all of this to deal with, but if I get less than A’s and maybe a couple B’s I will lose my spot in the nursing program, because they give the spots to people based on their grades and the competition is fierce.


I just want a safe home for me and my children, I feel so defeated and stuck. We deserve better but I don’t know how to get it. I’m trying everything I can think of. I really need out, I need a safe home for my children. I hate asking for help but I fear staying any longer.


Please consider helping me get some money up to move and help cover bills until I am on my feet again.


  
Please help me raise money so I can pay for my lawyer ASAP. Just started working but won’t make enough in time.


Hello, I am currently facing a very stressful time as I am still very young and new to the hardships of trying to live independently and to make matters worse I got a charge for marijuana possession while in Myrtle Beach. I’ve completely acknowledged that I shouldn’t have had any illegal substances on me and I should have exercised my rights when being pulled over but I made a terrible mistake and it is putting me in extreme stress.


I want to pursue an education and I am currently going to school for Information Technology and finding a career in this field would be difficult to attain with a criminal record. I also need a clean record to be able to receive Financial Aid for next semester and so I am very much in a state of panic and tribulation. I want to make my mother happy and I don’t want to bother her with MY problem as she already does so much for me and I can’t let her down while she is working so hard. I want to be able to finish college and make both my parents happy as they sacrificed so much to come to the United States and it took this entire ordeal for me to finally appreciate what freedom and peace of mind I once had.


The best lawyer I spoke to is charging me around $1000 and I am confident they will be able to have my case dismissed and later expunged so that my record can be clean. I currently just started working a job but as of now I won’t be making enough money to cover the costs by the time of the trial which is around July 16th-22nd (Would rather not be specific on the internet) and so I am asking if anyone would be so kind hearted to give me a chance to set my life straight as I have now learned from sitting in jail that I should not be wasting my time and effort on things that won’t take me anywhere.


Please, Anything would help


Thank you so much for taking your time and bless you.

New iPhone needed


Yes, I understand how ridiculous this sounds that I am actually asking money for a new phone.

But, let me explain the situation my dear. I live in a family where we don’t have money basically at all. Even though my parents wanted to make me happy and bought me the iPhone 7+ with 256 gigabytes, that is 1100€?! My mom doesn’t even make that much in a month and she still bought me the phone.


So, I was robbed a few days back and I lost all my cash and of course the phone. Due that, I have been crying and been depressed since I don’t know how in the world can I tell my mother about it. She would of course buy me a new one but with what consequences? That we would have no money for food or she has to give up something herself?


My request is that I could get in total of 1100€ so I could go and buy the phone and keep my mom happy and show her that I am the most happiest person in the world with my new phone!!


Just give what you can if you just may! 10cents? That is lovely. a grand? Just as lovely as the 10cents.

You don’t even have to give anything but I hope you would share this! <3


Thank you <3

Three kids, no food, car accident wrecked my life!


As I sit here writing this, it is out of complete desperation- I have no tears left and sadly it has come down to praying that the kindness of a stranger may show me that karma isn’t completely imaginary.  I have no idea if anyone ever actually looks at this site, but had to take a chance.


I was recently in a car accident that destroyed my back and I had to give up my dream career because I am physically unable to do it anymore.  I have three kids, and my oldest tonight asked if we would be able to get groceries, and I just broke down crying.  We have no vehicle, only liability on the car that was totalled in my accident because we couldn’t afford proper coverage.. extremely far behind on all my utilities… I have the most ridiculous student debt that is being demanded to get paid back, tax refund was offset.. and to be honest I often times feel my kids would be much better off if I wasn’t even alive, because then they would be able to stay with someone who could provide them with the comforts that I will never be able to give.


I’ve tried so hard to give them a good life and be a mom they could be proud of, but I feel at this point there’s no coming out of this enormous debt.  I just want to be able to feed my family and not have this guilt anymore..  I can’t even drive to a food shelf without a vehicle, just don’t know what to do.  I assume not many people will see this, but even if one person does who could help even just a little, it would restore some faith.  I don’t want this for myself, just the kids.   God bless anyone who takes the time… PayPal link  paypal.me/Heidi756


  
Please help


Hello, my name’s Valentina and I’m from Chile. I’ve never asked people on the internet for help but I think I really need to do it now.


My mom has been unemployed for months and it’s been hard for her to find an stable job (in our city job offers are low lately) and I can’t work because I’m studying (I still don’t finish high school because I got behind due to depression) my dad has been helping us but it’s not enough, and our family almost doesn’t help us (we don’t really have a “close” family, bad luck I guess) so we’re stuck in a situation where we don’t really can buy food or pay the bills. We’ve asked for money to everyone already so we owe them already so we can’t ask again. I wanted to see if there’s anyone who could help us with a little bit of help, anything counts as long as we can save up to pay the bills and buy some food at least for the time being (my mom is still job hunting)


I can’t really attach any bills on here because they’re in Spanish and I doubt they can be read by the readers of here. But if I have to I will if I’m asked.


I will share a pic of my cat because I also need to buy food for her. Thank you so much if you help/read this!

They say money can’t buy happiness…


I know the true value of life are the memories and moments that can’t be bought or sold. However, as a single mom working two jobs and still struggling to stay afloat, I also know those memories and moments – as valuable as they are – don’t pay the bills.


That’s why I am leaning on the kindness of strangers. Due to a series of unexpected expenses – a surgical procedure, several costly car repairs and emergency dental work – over the last year and a half, I have fallen farther and farther behind on bills as I try just to stay afloat paycheck to paycheck. As a result, I now owe back rent on the condo I share with my daughter, a condo that provides a safe and happy home, a home I don’t want to lose.


The problem is – there is no way to get caught up when you’re caught in this cycle. I work very hard 6-7 days a week. I do not believe in handouts. And I wouldn’t seek assistance if I wasn’t in such immediate need. I consider this a hand up – a helping hand to pull me out of a difficult situation. If I am able to rise above, I will reach my hand down, in turn, to help others who are reaching out in hopes of the same kindness I am asking you to show me.


Thank you in advance for your consideration.

HELP ME TO STAY IN RECOVERY, SO THAT I CAN HELP MYSELF & PAY IT FORWARD. PLEASE READ MY STORY.


VERY LONG. BUT I SHARED MY WHOLE SOUL, IN AN ATTEMPT TO PROTECT MY SOBRIETY. Hello, my name is Courtney and I’m an addict. ( LEADING UP TO MY PRESENT DAY HELL. ) My profound lack of a solution has led me here, to plead for mercy from strangers for my daughter, family, my two most loyal, best most lifesaving friends Sophie & Mu ( My little beagle & my 100+ lb Hippie Pitbull. Without them, I authentically and unapologetically can share TODAY that I would of been another sadistic death statistic related to heroin addiction here in the Mid-Ohio Valley. Those dogs became my purpose to endure, yes and suffer, yes. But, to forfeit my worsening unrelenting belief that suicide was the only option & that it would be such a service to my loved ones, suvh a weight lifted. Abandoning the plan, I did that. But, the thoughts? The beliefs? They’ve never went too far out of my mind, which is why im allowing myself to take the advice from someone who truly wouldn’t of wasted her time, or invested emotionally with helping me to carry as much of my baggage as she could over the years, despite her being 700 miles away, which her love for my daughter & I has been a blessing to my existence. For that? I am following her guidance and following her faith that, “The truth shall set,” me “free.” She last said regarding this. When so frequently, people in my life chose to disturb my mind, my heart and recklessly alter my entire journey from adolescent life, continuing into present day, at 31 years old with this disgust for myself, that has manifested into my making destructive, phenomenally disturbing decisions that after marinating several years, crushed with the weight of abuses, horrific luck, perpetually experiencing worsening blows to my STABILITY, mentally and otherwise – and ultimately there came an over abundance of damage after having my own daughter which caused me to recognize the gross negligence from many adult people, who could have helped protect and preserve my chance at becoming a woman much different than what I am today. But, instead here I am today, 31 – being “raised,” FINALLY, but I have a incredibly supportive 10 year old daughter, Gabi – thats life has been regrettably damaged as a direct result of my lack of knowing any authentic COPING, mental or life skills, my having a belief in my mental diagnosises being something to be ashamed of, and hide. I fought the “diagnonsenses,” ( as I called them. ) never wanting to accept even more flaws, that only contributed to my sabotaging myself, never believing I deserved any different. I’m from Massachusetts, and got kicked out around 16 years old, to West Virginia. Here, I continued to experience as many different head changes ( i.e. – getting “high,” altered state of mind. ) Realizing, it silenced my distractingly LOUD truth, of my mental health issues, being something legitimate and silencing the “issues,” and drugs became my treatment plan, and it helped me really to believe I WASN’T that girl, with that history, with that damage – with THOSE diagnosises. On drugs, I mostly liked myself, or appeared to. Socializing sober, wasn’t something I often did, because for several years, I was just “partying.” Until, heroin. ( PRESENT DAY, HOPELESSLY DOOMED .) Had my kid, and was an every day Mom Almost 7 years. No family to help me to keep a roof over my head, a scary reality that resulted as a direct consequence of a truly disruptive mother-daughter fight and ultimately, exposed me to such a different drug world than what I’d known up to that point. Heroin? “I’d never put a needle in my arm,” – I’d say. But looking back, I also never thought I’d do heroin, or take risking my life as far as I have. I have essentially studied my journey, journaling and blogging since elementary school – believing my life story absolutely would get concluded as a SUCCESS STORY – that I would be so proud to tell my story, LOUD and CONFIDENTLY…. lessons learned, applied & a harnessed health & happiness that I always believed was just a little out of reach, but I religiously BELIEVED I would get there and each time I would take an attempt on my life, or each time my contagiously destructive disregard for my injesting excessive amounts of drugs would cause my overdoses in combination with a string of paralyzing life experiences that embedded within me, the several mental health diagnosises I’ve been handed the last decade. Some peoples drug issues, cause the mental issues they have. With me, a few doctors collectively believe my mental issues, created my drug issues – essentially, putting me in therapy as a child definitely wasn’t even considered, even tho, looking back – just one person deciding to protect me from the unavoidable hell and mental anguish that my rollercoaster with medication, behavioral health trips, all types of abusively unjust & harmful hits my life has taken, the going to treatments, nut wards, my failed marriage, my lack of any unconditional and present SUPPORT, the hateful judgement and the unimaginably cruel parts people have played in my story, failing my daughter ( who said “you’re only a failure if you quit trying, mommy. “- the damages of My 19 year drug experimentation that sparked the sabotage of my soul, and ultimately ALL OF THAT, the cause and effect, the outcome? DESPITE being left for dead, during the worst, most difficult time of my life, withdrawing from a heavyweight use of heroin, being cut with a tranquilizer 10,000 more potent than morphine. A year ago this month I was on top of the world, I was healthy, happy, into yoga, fitness and TRX, I wasn’t a good mom damn it I was a GREAT MOM… After all those years, now, with 3 years of I.V. drug use under my belt, id found a cocktail of meds and life style changes that brought me to a place I once BELIEVED to be a myth, I was happy. I saw the light. Someone related to my daughter, unsure EXACTLY what Happened, but they decided to steal my medication, influencing the breech in the contract I’d signed that allowed me one of the major key meds that assisted me in becoming someone who authentically loved herself – for the first time, ever. At 30. They decided to deter me from regaining my position with my kid and in life and it is and my experiences allow me to justify my regarding that theft as the most cold blooded rape of my life, diminishing all willingness to believe there ever being a light at the end of this tunnel, becoming allergic to sustaining, becoming disenchanted and more severely disturbed by my heavyweight heroin habit that resulted in several different attempts to end my life – WHICH EACH TIME I WOKE UP, ALIVE – despite my best, most unsettling attempts – I realized maybe it’s because there really is a PLAN for me. Maybe the people from my website and Facebook are onto something, maybe I am designed to survive this and heal those that I can sympathize with, due to my own experiences – knowing going at them alone, is scary and not something I would ever suggest. My older brother is currently at hospice, he’s dying of cancer – at 33. I in WV. He’s in Florida. I have no family here. I am about to lose my house. Selling everything I own to at least get something helpful from the loss, opposed to the bank taking and trashing everything. I went to treatment the end of May. I went to see my brother the first week of June. I. Currently without any available help with my house, or the sale, minimally eating, I am always alone which isn’t healthy for an addict in recovery, no transportation and no running water, which makes me seek someone to ALLOW me to shower at their house, which sadly, has greatly limited my hygiene. My family is so far away, not knowing how dangerously close I am to falling backwards from this overwhelming and debilitating stress of having no chance or way, or hope of uncovering a way out of my eventual unraveling, back to where I began. I just want a chance. I have seeked my same medical plan and medications through places in Florida and they have a substantially Large addict in RECOVERY community and resources all over the place, unlike here. HAVING no Friends or FAMILY as my SUPPORT network, that are around my life or local – is a factor that nearly doomed me from the start, but meetings and forming my new Florida plan, helped me move forward – I began accepting my getting on my feet and taking part in another line of helpful treatment somewhere that my SUPPORT network is heavily populate by family. When combining the clean slate, the family support and my medication and treatment plan WITH my REGULAR continued inspiration being supplied by 2 things, the love of my dogs and the uncanny, absolute necessity within my soul to mend and rebuild what my addictions and decisions have caused my own daughter. I’ve been very honest with her and she is a phenomenal kid, she doesn’t deserve any of this. I fear my expiration will ultimately occur, as the last of my little stability dismantles. I fear she will never know that this time I finally reached an understanding of the lifestyle changes that are now REQUIRED to protect me in my recovery and in my future. The knowledge of my planning to complete “The 12 Steps,” and learn how to live, from people who have clean time under their belts that has inspired me to BE TEACHABLE by them. Accepting I know absolutely nothing on how to live, feel or treat myself – and knowing by following the direction of such a great and supportive Nationwide group of people like me, who have showed me just how TRUTHFUL addiction being a DISEASE IS. It BEGAN as a stupid, harmful decision – that manifested into a life altering disease. Like if you have diabetes and fail to change 1, 2 & 3, you’re gunna be in hot water or worse. As an addict, it’s the very same. I MUST do and REQUIRE these PARTICULAR things to be included with my continued recovery OR, It’s just a matter of time, before I finally succumb to the weight of that soul crushing GUILT from failing to reach the goals of healing…. healing MYSELF, so that I know how to heal my daughter and then together, we can heal anyone we are given the chance to be helpful to…. I know one thing, that happy ending won’t happen here. In this haunted and evil home with some gruesome and upsetting memories happening here, where I always am, alone – unable to inspire anybody but one woman to bother assisting me with protecting my life from this impending disaster….. She I’d a saint. Her name is Tina, and if we were a raised by a Tina, there would be world Peace. She’s amazing, full of grace and has helped me to sort so much of my “stuff” within me all the way out- She didn’t let me die, and knew I was close – Despite my not being her responsibility and despite her Having do many responsibiles already, she has still made time to do what she can to help my continued survival…. But….she’s only one person and I hate disturbing the life of someone so incredibly rare and only deserving of the greatest in life, with my dark and contagiously gloomy reality. I just don’t want my brother’s impending passing ( 12 days to 2 months they said one month ago, yes he’s in hospice… Horrible… He’s 33.. ) to directly Inspire mine too. I just want the chance to salvage my things, to get to Florida and begin my treatment plan and get my footing a bit more stable and better have “my poop in a group,” additionally being seen for my mental health issues as well – and it took me MONTHS to get some one to babysit my two dogs so I could seem treatment this year… For less than 10 days…. I couldn’t Inspire anybody to REGARD me as DESERVING that, no matter how good I stayed to so so many, despite how badly they treated me, with stealing from me regularly while I lay, deteriorating – using my truly scary physical state, give them the freedom to pillage through belongings and things that would of been of value to my current situation. CONSIDERING, I have no money. I have nothing, other than this future yard sale. And this attempt with getting donations. Help me reach my BLESSED plan, and for each dollar donated, I will personally GUARANTEE that I will commit to that # of meetings being numbered and attended, captured and subsequently shared online as A way to show my appreciation…. For helping me stand a chance and for helping me to be able to truly help myself…. If for anyone else, my daughter. She is doing everything amazing in the world – my biggest supporter + I NEED THIS HELP, I’m I’m desperate need of making my plan a reality because it’s worked before, but was cut short by such a terrible PERSON and their selfishness. Please, I know I’ll die here, if there was more hope for my situation, I wouldn’t be BEGGING stranger’s. Here’s my websites – www.BOXMYPANDORA.com and www.facebook.com/itsboxMyPandora ( link to blog from BoxMyPandora.com – ) “What you let feed you, you also let starve you. ” “A setback is Just a setup for a comeback.” Help fight addiction and help recovery not relapse by generously participating in my plan that allows me the chance to keep strengthening my soul and it’s all necessary for my making all of this up to my kid, the rest of my life – and for my future in the Fellowship which I know if given this help, I’ll be in attendance the remainder of my life and I am absolutely great with that… Please don’t tell me I am too late to see this become a reality…. Please..


  
Need help while our twin baby daughter undergoes an operation


Hello,


We are a family based in Nottingham in the UK. We have an 8 year old boy and 19 month old twin babies, Etta, and Albie.

Since our twins were born, they have both had many allergies have been showing an intolerance to certain foods. As a result of this, they have been under paediatric care thruogh the hospital for their entire lives.


Unfortunately last October, our daughter, Etta, was admitted to the hospital when she contracted a tummy bug, and was quite sick. In the hospital she couldn’t manage to keep any fluids down, and after a long process, we were advised that the doctors would be fitting her with an NG (Naso Gastric) feeding tube, which goes in through the nose and down into her tummy.


Etta has had the tube in ever since October and has started to gain weight, which is positive. However, after much deliberation, we have opted for her to have a Gastrostomy, which is basically a surgical procedure to insert a feeding tube directly into her tummy, through her body. This will make things much easier for her feeding, and not have to go through the trauma of having the NG tube passed into her, which gets her extremely distressed.


So basically, not only is it hard for us to manage twin babies financially, when both of us used to work full time, now we are forced to share the childcare and work between us. This has been extremely hard, coupled with Etta’s on going hospital appointments, visits and admissions. We have been ‘just getting by’ for the last two years. But now with Etta going into hospital for her operation, we don’t know how we are going to get through the next month.


We really have enough to worry about with Etta’s operation and all that goes with it, without having the constant never ending worry about how we will pay our bills.


So I am basically asking for any donations, that will be very, very much appreciated in our time looking after our daughter.


And once we are back on our feet again, I will be regularly returning the favour for other people in need.


Thank you very much if you got to the end of this post, and if you do donate, I will contact you personally to offer my sincere gratitude.


Here is the link for any donations: https://www.paypal.me/jjp1973

Rebuilding


I’m, a widowed single mom of two girls. Despite being a widow I don’t receive benefits because my husband was unemployed at the time of his death. I have recently been displaced from my home. I’m currently staying with a friend and her husband until I can find a way to come up with deposit money for an apartment. My car recently completely broken down due to needing a new transmission and the power steering went out. I was able to get into something used but can’t afford the downpayment of $1200 they wanted down. I am in desperate need to correct this financial downward spiral I’m in. I can’t get a loan due to my credit. My work doesn’t offer programs to assist those in need. This is more or less a last resort.


  
I want to give my daughter a good life


I need help trying to give my daughter a good life. I moved out at 17 to save my dog from the pound. My family went through bankruptcy and we lost our house. They had to find a place fast but that ment no more pets. My dog was apart of me. I needed her. I moved in with my fiance and worked a part time job. It was the only thing I could get while doing school. We lived in an efficiency apartment. My fiance got in a car crash and totaled our car. We had to move to get closer to our job. In the process of moving I found put I was pregnant. I worked up until I have birth. My job wouldn’t give me maternity leave. My fiance was in his 3rd year of college when I got pregnant. He has one more year to go. We can’t afford a babysitter so I becam a stay at home mom and opened my own business. I work once a week at a farmer’s market selling baked goods. My daughter is 1 years old now. My fiance works full time night shift and is a full time student. His job screwed him over and cut his hours then his pay. We are struggling to pay rent and pay off our car and insurance. And in a year we will have to start paying back his student loans. I dont know how I will be able to take care of my daughter if I can’t afford food or diapers. I just need to get out of this debt. My business is working out fine but all the money I make off of it barely covers the cost of basic needs (toilet paper, baby food, diapers). If we could get out of this debt then we can give her a good life. Pay for school, good books, cloths. Right now my bank account is negative $500 or more and my car payment goes through in 2 days and rent is due in a little more than a week. I need more then $10,000 but I will take what I can get. I just want my daughter to grow up living well. She is everything to me.

Help me pay off massive parking ticket debt please


Hello my name is Joseph Oceguera, I am 19 years old and I live in Chicago, Il. I currently work at fedex as a package handler and  attend Malcolm X college. I am studying to receive my associate in applied science degree. I plan on becoming a radiologist. I’m my free time I am a typical young man hanging with, playing sports, and lifting weights. I own a 2004 white Toyota solara Camry V6. It’s my first vehicle and I bought it with my own hard earned money about a year ago.  I bought it from a family member for a discounted price of 2000 dollars. I’m the time since I owned my vehicle I have received exactly 12 parking tickets. I know it sounds like me being irresponsible but please hear me out. The reason I have racked up so many tickets and have massed up a debt of 1200 dollars, is because in the town where I live you are not allowed to park your cars in front of your own house. The reason being is because you need a permit which I cannot afford. I feel very much taken advantage of because I cannot even park my car in front of my house and I feel very harassed. The reason the local police station gives is so that other people can park on the street too, the only problem is it is a small suburb just outside of chicago and there isn’t much traffic. So in other words the reasoning behind their policy is inaccurate and it is all for money. I also could use help paying off college loan debt as well as just day to day survival groceries, bills, etc. Well to be honest I can use help with a lot of things. I have a lot of responsibilities for a person my age and I am having trouble staying afloat. On top of my car problems, I need a lot of dental work and I have a few teeth that are constantly in pain. If my request is met and a donation is given I will pay off my parking ticket debts as well as look to get some dental work done. The rest would be used on day to day living. Any donation would be greatly appreciated and when I am in a better place I promise to do philanthropic work myself. I would like to request $2500 but any donation would be accepted. I am not sure if I met the 400 word mark but it would be greatly appreciated

Need to quit job to be with sick daughter


My girlfriend has a daughter that lives more than 1500 kilometers away from her. The daughter used to live with her father, but was thrown out when he recently got a new girlfriend. After that happened, she has started to cut herself with a knife several places on her body and has tried to take her life two times. Her father used to be violent and unfaithful to my girlfriend.  That was the reason why she left.  The plan was that her daughter would stay with her father for one more year to complete her school.  As that is not possible, and as the daughter is already struggling with old traumas and increasing mental problems from the violent family situation, my girlfriend has decided that she urgently need to move to the place where her daughter lives. The daughter is receiving treatment from a local psychiatrist that she trusts. The treatment is starting to work and it is therefore important to continue the treatment.


My girlfriend urgently needs to move to her daughter, but money is needed to be able to do that.  She has to quit her job and she has to find a new place to live.  She will immediately start looking for a new job, but can take some time to find one.


Every donation is so incredibly welcome. To be able to move, to settle in a new place and to have something to live from until she finds a new job, a total of USD 15 000 would be very good.  But a smaller amount, at least to be able to relocate, would also be very welcome.


I hope that my girlfriend, who is completely desperate, will be able to move to her daughter as soon as possible to take care of her and make sure that she is able to recover.


Thank you very much in advance!


Best regards Einar

Tried to save an animal and almost died


 


So a few weeks ago my wife and I were on a drive through the country. We decided to take a drive that night because my wife was in the middle of finals and stressing everything. Well as you can see from the image below the drive ended up almost costing us our lives. We ran off the road to try and avoid an animal that had darted across our darkened path. What the car ended up resting upon was two stumps; of which kept the vehicle from falling into an unseen lake. If the car had continued, I would not be writing this request, as I would be dead.


My wife and I have both missed work due to the accident; my wife taking more of the brunt than I, as her internal organs are badly bruised. We have mostly recovered from the accident physically, however, our financial situation is now somewhat perilous. The week after this incident our only other car, a 1997 BMW Z3,  breathed its final breath as the engine blew. We attempted to have the car fixed, which lost us almost another grand,  we finally sold the car for 500 which has helped keep us afloat, but hasn’t helped us much more.


While we have been able to get loan for a new vehicle our insurance situation with the totaled car has not been rectified. We are not sure if we will still have to pay on the black car in the image, while trying to make ends meet normally and missing work.


This is not a permanent thing, we just need 2500 to get back on our feet.


Thank you for your time and support.

Trying to move to Texas to care for dying grandmother


Good afternoon,


My name is Jennifer Schiele. My husband, Rashad Schiele grew up in Amarillo, he went to Randall High. His grandmother is 80 years old and very ill. She is currently staying in Canyon with her daughter. The only one of 8 children that stepped up to care for her! My husband, our son and myself currently live in CA (not by choice). We were just in Amarillo for two weeks to see Joyce (his grandmother). We need to be there to help and care for her. She needs 24/7 care, and there is no way we will allow her to be put in a home. She gave everything for her family, and it’s time she received the same in return. My husband and I are trying to raise $6000 so we can move to Amarillo. I fell in love with Texas, the people, the culture, everything. And he wants to come home. We have set up a go fund me, and we are pulling as much overtime as we can.


We are in CA because we were laid off in North Dakota after the oil rigs pulled out. My husband is in IT and there is little opportunity there so he was unable to find new employment. We drained our savings/401k’s etc trying to keep our home but it wasn’t enough. We came to CA in March of 2016 to stay with my father. Due to this our credit has been destroyed. We are both roughly in the 520’s. I know that with credit like this or options are few. I have already gotten two job offers in Amarillo so I know that obtaining a new job will not be an issue.


I have emailed the Amarillo Globe to see if they would put a classified ad with our gofundme account. I cannot ask for the $6000 loan as our credit is where it is. I do however ask that if it is possible, could your branch post our fund-raising to see if we can get the help we need? The link is https://www.gofundme.com/HelpforJoyceTX


I know that this is a long shot, but I have to try; For Joyce, and for ourselves. She needs the care of her family, and we don’t want our 2 year old raised in CA. Thank you in advance for any consideration granted us.


  
Help my family get back on track


I am the eldest son of a blue-collar mother and father, raised in the heart of Slovenia. My mother is employed as a chemical plant worker, and my father does construction. Recently a series of financial downfalls have driven my family into debt, and I will try to explain our situation to the best of my abilities.


My grandfather on my mother’s side of the family passed away six months ago. He was kind and loving, and through him I learned manliness and courtesy. He left behind some debt for my now-widowed grandmother and the rest of the family to cover, mostly medical bills and funeral cost of some 5.000eur. The country I call home does otherwise offers universal healthcare to all its citizens, but only covers smaller routine expenses, not the cost of treating cancerous tumors or extending longevity of life. I also have a cousin on my mother’s side of the family, who is married, has two children, both girls, aged eight and three. He was employed as an installer of various home appliances, and was laid off about a month after my grandfather died. His wife has been unemployed for a year now, receiving welfare payments to help them survive. Before their financial debacle they managed to borrow somewhere in the amount of 70.000eur from the bank in the form of a loan, which was spent on purchasing the apartment they currently reside in. As they were considered a risky loan by the bank, my mother was assured and convinced by the borrowers to step in as acting guarantor in case they would not be able to cover their debt, but as soon as my cousin lost his job they could not afford to cover the payments anymore. The bank has now suspended my mother’s paycheck to the country minimum (650eur net), with my father earning somewhere around that figure himself. Murphy’s law decrees that what can go wrong, will go wrong. And in accordance with it, my parents’ apartment was broken into and robbed just a few weeks back. There wasn’t much stolen, but it was more or less all they had. The thieves took the family computer and my younger brothers laptop, my mother’s small amount of gold she had and her jewelry. The door and the lock were crowbarred and destroyed, and my mother does not dare leave the apartment and sleeps with one eye open at night because of the thought of someone simply walking in through the makeshift screen door. For those wondering, I am a student of English and English literature, and am currently paying my way through college in the country’s capital city, Ljubljana. What I make through student wages during time not reserved for study and courses barely keeps me afloat, so my financial assistance to my family is barely noticeable. My brother is almost 18 years old now and I would like to see him fully mature as a man and an individual in a more positive, stress and debt-free environment. I am therefore asking for your help. The interpersonal relationships in my family have become strained to the point of breaking, and I feel both my parents slowly cracking under the pressure of the loss, debt and distrust.


I am asking for you to help secure my parents’ home, cover a portion of our debt, and make this family whole again. Thank you for your time and empathy.

In debt and behind on bills help me please


    

  • Hi my name is David and I’m  in the United States Air Force national guard. I have been working owning my own business since I was 13 washing cars. Then at 16 that business took off. At the same time I bagged groceries at 15 years old for a grocery store next to my house. I went to college and shut down and ended up broke. I couldn’t take feeling like I accomplished nothing so I joined the Air Force. I finished basic training and was sent to tech school. After I took my final test I was called in and told that I was being sent home for medical. When I got home I found out that my fiancé had cheated on me the whole time we were together. I moved to Florida where I currently am with the intentions of working with my brother. We were doing great!! $600 a week for me every week. them we stopped finding work and eventually ran out of money. It has been raining for now three weeks straight. I run a painting business but CANNOT find work! I need your help, please!! I owe $500 to discover because my bank account let charges continue to pull from the account and pay my card off but I was in tech school and was not aware and created a massive debt when the bank returned all the money. I’m also late on my phone bill of $95 and I need to pay my car off. I’m also late on my utility bill and rent of $850 is due next week!!!  I barely paid last time! I’ve sold my laptop and I’ve sold old phones and games. Ive been very light eating these past few days. I need help with this money! Also I want to make something of my company so that I can never be in this situation! We have no money to place bids and are going door to door advertising and looking for work. I spent 9 hours on Craigslist within a 200 mile radius yesterday. Help me have money to advertise us and to get better supplies and to really start. And help me have an emergency fund that I don’t touch unless I’m in this again. Everything I get, understand that 10% will go to a charity or church ( God ) because I know that I can not do anything without Gods help and I need to always appreciate that and give because he allows me to receive. Any amount you give helps and I will be appreciative even if it is a dollar. God bless you! And thank you!

Money for cat food!


Hello world! How are you today?  I’m alright just struggling in life. I overall need financial help but I would also like financial pointers too. Today my issue is I don’t have enough money for my kitty for food. Or myself for food. Rent is coming up again soon. Same either my Internet bill and it’s just overwhelming.  Did I also mention I’m only 17? I was emancipated at the age of 16 but it’s not always been easy. I work an almost full time job while going to school and it’s hard to maintain a social life as well as constantly being able to provide for myself. But other than focusing on the negatives I have in my life I would like to focus on my positives. I’m a fairly smart individual with a cat cute (he’s so playful too!) I aspire to be a world renowned psychological influence and start up my own foundations for narcolepsy and subconscious findings. I recently started a internship (special terms internship) for a drug councilor position at an office here in Halifax, Nova Scotia! What else have a been doing other than school and work you may ask? Well with school just let out, I have more time to focus on the third thing I love the most next to my life dreams and kitty. And that is TYE DYE! I’m working on my own tye dye street buiness to set up here soon. It’s a small passion of me. I love seeing the world light up with colour and everything good ! But this positive statement concludes the message most likely.  Other than I really need money for food for my kitty!!! Anything helps and I would also like help to avoid this again. Thank you everyone and have a great day!! paypal.me/TifaB


  
A Friend in Need!


I myself am currently struggling financially, but this is a call for help for a dear friend of mine. Recently I’ve become aware my friend is planning to end his own life, due to the struggles he has with his family and the fact that he has almost finished his savings.


He had nice plans! Wanted to quit the job that was just bringing him down and leave with the savings he had in order to chase his dream of becoming a programmer. He has always loved programming and has worked on projects of his own for maybe over 10 years now!


Unfortunately, his family is not stable! His mother is a bit abusive and steals from him and his brother. He is a smoker, so a huge amount of his cash goes to buying packs of cigarettes and he has been feeling depressed ever since he has set foot in his town 6 years ago.


There is a program he would like to join where he would study for 2 years, but that would require him to find an accommodation and be able to take care of himself financially during the process of intensive hard studying! This will open him up a bit socially and help him chase his dream of becoming a professional programmer, while being away from his mother that mistreats him!


He is a smart person, but he’s lost his will to fight and I want to create another chance in life for him! I would not be able to live with myself if he harms himself!


Any help is highly valued!


Thank you!

Funds required for wives poverty stricken family in Philippines to rebuild house.


Hi and thank you for reading my plea for assistance.  My wives family living on the island of Mindanao in the city of Cagayan De Oro house ( really a shanty ) is so badly deteriorated  that it is about to collapse.  The corrugated iron roof has rusted so badly that every time it rains water leaks badly into the house damaging furniture and ruining electrical appliances.   The support posts have also been eaten through by termites in many places further weakening the structure.  My wife fears the building might collapse one day maybe during the next storm/typhoon season.  Although I live in Australia I am a low income earner selling in markets this only provides enough money to meet our own living expenses as we have also two children to take care off.


My wife is also heavily in debt due to borrowing to assist her family as her father has passed away her mother is not capable of working and her brother had to stop working due to blackmail at the work place.  They only make a bit of money selling waffles the rest had come from my wife sending them money until she has become heavily in debt.  My wife is really worried about the safety of the structure and believes it could collapse any day.  I have tried to save money to assist for their house repairs but because of my wives bad debts and to save our vehicles from being repossessed I was forced to use it to bail her out.


I have also contacted various Aid agencies working in the Philippines from the West to see if they could provide volunteers or funding to assist my wives family rebuild their home or at least stabilize the structure.  But Most of them have either rejected my requests or referred me to other aid agencies that have done the same.  I have contacted Caritas and Christians Against Poverty CAP both for assistance for my wives family and also for my wives own debt relief only to have the matter referred or dumped.  Caritas said they only provide assistance for poverty relief projects and not for individual families.


I am at my wits end trying to find funds to assist her family and alleviate my wives anxiety over the matter.  Also her mother badly needs a cataract operation for her eyes as her eyesight has deteriorated badly but it needs to be done in a hospital on another island and she won’t travel alone she needs my wife to accompany her.  My wife needs $30,000 to cover all these costs and any travelling expenses involved but at a start $5000 just to start urgent repairs on the house would be appreciated.  Electrical appliances like the fridge and television and computer have been ruined by rainwater from the leaking roof and also need to be replaced.  As a result my wife has little communication with her sister due to the loss of internet from the computer being ruined and she has to go to an internet cafe to communicate with her.  This has placed further stress on my wife in her anxieties.


Also the latest crisis to befall her family recently has been their very old and almost falling apart car which was vandalised after it broke down a few days ago and they pushed it to the side of the road for the night as they couldn’t find anybody to assist them getting the vehicle back home but when they came back the next morning somebody had maliciously slashed and flattened the tyres overnight.  The vehicle was needed for ferrying their two children to school without this vehicle the children now have to take costly public transport by Jeepney to their school and back everyday weekdays.  Costly repairs for this family to repair their vehicle has put additional strain apoun my wives family in the Philippines when they are already financially in a bad way.  They have begged us for financial assistance in their situation but with our situation very tight our assistance was limited and thats the reason I have posted this story for anybody by Gods grace is willing to assist the family of Jocalyn “Joy” Vega Palasan.


Any every bit of financial assistance or donation will be thankfully accepted.  All the funds donated will be moved to a separate account to be handed to the family in need when the required amount is reached.

His life is in your hands


Hello,


 


First of all, I would like to thank you, the kind stranger who is currently reading my story.


Also, I apologize in advance if I make mystakes, I’m French.


 


To be honest, this isn’t about me but about someone close to me who needs help more than anyone.


The person I’m talking about is my boyfriend. I’m writing this behind his back because he has too much pride and doesn’t want to be pitied.


 


He is 19 years old and has always struggled with life. His parents never really gave him money and always expected him to pay for everything ; when I say everything I mean it, even paying for his own passport or paying for his school even though he wasn’t 18 yet. He’s homeless since he’s 18 (because apparently he’s an adult now and his parents don’t want him to live with them anymore).


To be able to get through things, he has 2 jobs, works 6 days a week from 7am to 3-4pm and gets barely paid. He needs to save up for college because he’s currently unaible to study because he can’t pay for school right now. He also needs some help for rent, he’s currently living with me but I’m starting to get short on money.


 


I try to help him as much as I can but it’s not enough.


I’m not asking for much, I just want to give him a nice surprise and I want to show him that he is not alone in this.


 


If you read through all of this, I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart, and if you can help, even with 1 dollar, it would mean the world to him.


 


Thank you so much for your comprehension, any help or thought would lighten up his day. Of course, he’ll know about this later on.


 


Have a great day and thank you so much for helping in any way you can.
