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.

Unemployed – Looking for Help & A Job

I am not exactly sure where to start, but I am an unemployed college educated woman in need of some financial help. I had been working a contract position for the past 3 years and left for a permanent position at a different company. I was told great things about the company and the benefits. Upon arrival at the new job I found out it had all been a lie. They lied about the work hours, the PTO policy and what the job entailed. The person I reported to was in another state, I was the only person in my department in the office and there was no training nor onboarding process. For the two weeks and 2 days that I was there I went to everyone I could trying to figure out how to do my job but with no success. My boss never showed up to meet me and Human Resources told me since the position was new they didn’t know what I should be doing and that I should figure it out on my own. I was fired at the beginning of my third week and the reason that was given was ‘we hired you prematurely, we are not really sure what to do with this role’.

I don’t have any savings and this now puts me in a horrible situation. I have always held a job and have always done my best to be my best in whatever role I had. I was shocked that they would sell me on this dream, know that I left a job only to fire me 2.5 weeks later because they didn’t have it together. I have a mortgage, student loans, a car payment, amongst other bills. Unemployment is up in the air because I was only there less than 3 weeks and I left the previous job voluntarily.

Fortunately I never stopped looking for jobs, but haven’t at this point had anyone reach out yet for any interviews. Just reaching out for help because I don’t have parents to go to and I’m truly nervous/scared/stressed about where this has left me financially and what I am going to do to keep my home. I am behind on everything and close to foreclosure at this point. I am trying hard not to beat myself up over this because I truly tried my best to figure out what they wanted me to but it was almost like a set up because NO ONE would help me. Even after 2 weeks I didn’t have access to their system. The entire 2nd week, my boss never reached out to me. What more could I have done?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I love her. She needs help but won’t ask.

Hello, you wonderful people out there! I am looking for a donation to help a girl I love –

She is an extremely hard working mother of 2 boys (both are under 10 years old) She works hard at her job and makes less than $10/hr. On top of her job, she makes sure her kids get to do the sports they want (one is in soccer, the other baseball and both are running at the same time right now) and she also involves them in Cub Scouts. I don’t know how she does it honestly. All of her time is wrapped up in making sure her boys have a normal childhood.

She also has to deal with her dad being in and out of the hospital semi-frequently, and helps him with anything he needs around the house. Again, I have no idea how she finds the time.

I try to help when I can, and she NEVER asks for assistance. She is an amazing mother, and an amazing person who gives so freely of herself without asking for anything in return.

Currently, she needs money for a lawyer due to her ex husband (of 7 years) who has decided he doesn’t want to pay child support anymore so is suing for custody knowing he can afford a lawyer and she can’t. I think this is stressing her out immensely, and I really don’t think this added stress is fair to her. I am asking for any donations to help with the lawyer fees, and possibly some groceries for a month or so so she can have a tiny bit of extra money for herself.

I do what I can, but I only make around $15 an hour and money is tight for me also. For perspective, I would have to work over 350 hours to help pay for her lawyer (which I am going to do regardless)

Thank you in advance to anyone who is like me and deems this a worthy cause.

I’m looking to raise $5,000 (this is what the lawyer costs)

-J

(PS: I have uploaded a picture of me to this site, I really don’t want her to know I’m doing this for her. If a donator absolutely needs a picture of her to confirm authenticity, I can provide one)

Unemployed Sole Provider

My name is Carlos.
Up until 5 months ago I held a full-time job and was the sole provider for my one year old son and his mother. I didn’t make a lot of money, but it was enough to allow us to survive. In late January I fell, injuring my shoulder, and have been unable to work ever since.
Because of my inability to work, my family has been forced to move several times in the last few months. We’ve lived in several hotels, stayed with friends and acquaintances, we even lived out of our minivan for a few weeks until it broke down. We were fortunate enough to rent a room for a reasonable price, but we are currently facing homelessness once again.
While I am actively seeking a job at this time, my family is in dire need of help now. The money we had saved is gone, and we are facing eviction at the end of this month(April 2018).
By helping us reach our funding goal, you will be giving us the ability to pay rent, and purchase clothes for our son, and find transportation to assist with locating a new job.
Getting the means to do these things would really help us get moving in the right direction. We are very grateful to any help those of you reading this are able to provide. We are also interested in any other alternatives or resources you might be able to make known to us.
If there are any questions, or information I can provide to help you help us, please don’t hesitate to ask. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and please pass it along to anyone you think might be able to help us in any way.

Hard Working Family Down on their Luck Needing a Helping Hand

Hello All

We are a Hard Working Family That just needs some help right now. We started a construction company a few years ago. Everything was going good at first. Then we started to sink lower and lower. We did everything we could to downsize on our finances. We went down to 1 car. We moved into a 2 bedroom townhouse with our 3 kids, all in order to help free up more money. Medical insurance is a nightmare for so many hard working family’s. We have a 13 year old daughter with cerebral palsy, and the insurance for her things is outrageous by it self. Then our 3 year old girl is also delayed and needs speech and occupational therapy twice a week. We have gone as far as seeking government assistance for help. But we get sorry your not at enough poverty level yet, and all I can think to myself is are you kidding me, we just need alittle help for a time with groceries and insurance so we can breath for a second so we can get back on our feet. What in the world has our taxes paid for. I take on any freelance jobs online I can find to do. we don’t just sit on our butts, we keep trying and working. I do wish some days I can hide and cry, but I know I can’t. Just keeping pushing through it. My husband had to down grade to 2 employs, which makes it even harder to complete jobs on a good time or even take on the better paying jobs. And we are at the point its going to have to be down to 1. Bless his heart, he keeps fighting and working hard to make our dream of giving the kids a better life. Never thought I would see myself doing something like this, but I understand now that sometimes you just have to ask for help. I still have faith that we can make this dream work, we just need a helping hand to pull our heads above water for a second to breath. Then we can keep working and fighting. We need about  $13,000 to pay off the loans, credit cards, and insurance. Please help with anything you can give. Like my mama always said, 1 dollar is better then no dollar. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and bless you all.

I need money to pay for unplanned expenses.

Hello there. My name is Gerrit Chassee and on the 21st of April I discovered a bank error that cost me thousands of dollars and not only did it drain my bank account but this bank error then continued to cost me an additional $2251. While this error was not my fault and it was beyond my control I was not able to successfully dispute this error with the bank and therefore I was forced to pay back the overdraft that resulted from this bank error as the dispute was never resolved in my favor even though I had done nothing wrong. I had to take out cash advances from all my credit cards to correct this overdraft and the bills to those credit cards will become due soon. No, going to court against the bank is not something that I have the money to do and taking out a loan is also not something that I am able to do at this time because I am too new to credit. In addition to this my Jeep is breaking down and it will need many repairs very very soon. I cannot afford to buy anything else to drive at this time so it will need to be repaired. I will also be in the process of losing my home if something is not done to make up for some of the money that I have lost and will lose as a result of these things. The screen capture that you see was taken before the overdraft was paid back. I need $5000 to pay for the money that I lost in my bank account and to pay bills and current expenses. God bless.

Educated, well intentioned, responsible, and now down & out

Hello!

My name is D. I am here because I moved back to my home town after living in Portland, OR for the past 13 months working for a non-profit. As it goes with many non-profits I did not get paid enough to sustain a living wage, I was doing what I loved and thought it would all work out, through hope and a prayer I guess.

I was paying too much in rent, yet it was the cheapest I could find with two dogs and I had an emergency trip back home for a family emergency and now I am back home for the time being. I was not able to save any money doing what I loved in a big bustling city, nor did I have any free time to pick up side gigs. I am back in my parents house after living on my own for 7 years, I still have bills to pay, and now two credit cards to pay off (I foolishly used them to help sustain myself financially in PDX).

Job prospects are not good in my small home town so I have started some side gigs that include graphic design and free lance writing. I am new to freelancing and in the past month have not had luck picking up clients. I have some bills due very soon.

So here I am. Asking for any and all assistance humanity might be able to provide me so I can pay my bills and get back on my feet. I am not used to relying on others, but I am going to take this time to work on some flaws of mine and asking for help when needed is one of them.

I have included a pic of my two fur kiddos who are always taken care of first and foremost!

Need Help…Disabled with 2 children…Victim of identity Theft

Hello my name is Casey Cook and I am in need of some help for me and my children.  I am a 42 year old single mother from Ohio.  I was born with Cerebral Palsy and I am confined to a wheelchair.  I have 3 children, two of which still are at home ages 14 and 4.  My only source of income is disability benefits from Social Security and Job and Family services.  I am in a financial bind due to recently being a victim of identity theft.  The person stole all of my personal information, ssn, dob, etc.  Because of this situation, I am in a bind and not able to pay my bills because my account is overdrawn in the amount of $735 because the bank is trying to hold me responsible for it.  This situation is making it impossible for me to pay my monthly bills for May because I get direct deposit and once my checks get deposited, I am not going to be able to pay my rent, electric, gas, food, or monthly expenses for May because the bank will take my entire disability check for the overdraft charges.  This means that me and my children will be homeless if I cannot pay rent.  Because of my disability, it is necessary for me to have home care 12 hours a day, 7 days a week.  If I am not able to pay rent, I will not be able to have a roof for my children, as well as receive my home health services.  I am requesting$2,000 so that I am able to cover my monthly expenses, and the overdraft charges that the bank is making me responsible for.  I do not understand why I have to be responsible for this but I have children to worry about so I have to worry about my children and being able to provide for them and receive the home health services that are necessary for my well being.  Thank you for your help in advance.  My children and I would greatly appreciate your kindness17992190_226481517833608_8188443784668881316_n.jpg17952663_226470357834724_2204209909302318259_n.jpg17991918_226437077838052_4167560392580225564_n.jpgAEPOhioBill_2018-04-09-page-001.jpgbank-page-001.jpg

single mother of 2 about to be homeless and is overwhelmed in debt

Hello, I am a single mother of 2 boys ages 10 and 13 and we are struggling to pay rent and bills. Our lease is up at the beginning of June and our landlord will be terminating our lease renewal. We do not have enough money to afford a deposit as well as first months rent somewhere else.  Our vehicle has been repossessed, and we were almost evicted twice this year. My kids and I are barely getting by, I have horrible credit and it’s going to be hard to find a new place even though we have to. I’m overwhelmed in debt and I had been employed for over 13 years at the same company but was recently let go. My health has been failing for about 3 years now, this past year being the worst so I had too many missed days at work. I’m only 36 and am on 13 different medications. My doctors don’t really know what is causing my symptoms and I’m being bounced around to every specialist imaginable. I have trouble keeping up with all my bills even with a job and now I honestly don’t know how we are going to make it. Everything I made income wise has gone to all of my medical out of pocket costs and medications. I have sold everything that we own just to make ends meet and we are still deep in the hole. As a mother I feel like I’ve failed my kids and this has really taken a toll on all of us emotionally. We need help gathering money for a new place to live, a dependable car, and medical bills. I am currently looking for a new job but we really need help now. We are good, God fearing people in a very tough spot right now and I know that once we get through this rough patch and get caught up that things will get better. Please help us if you are able and thank you for reading our story.

Need financial help within my family

Hi, I don’t really know what I’m doing here out of all places on the internet. But I guess it’s really come down to me being this desperate. Currently I’m in Grade 12, but I stopped going to school due to my mental health and depression. Because of several reasons, one main factor being part of my mom and dad’s separation. In Grade 8, my mom, little sister and brother, moved away to a different city. I had a choice, a painfully difficult choice whether to continuing living with my dad with his new girlfriend (my dad cheated on my mom), or to go with my mom and my siblings. The thing was, in the current city I was in, I had many friends and connections. I was not ready to move, I wanted to transition into high school with all my close friends. So I stayed with my dad, and it was a painful experience honestly. I didn’t talk about it much to anyone really, just because it was brushed off as a joke and because I felt embarrassed to say that it was my own dad doing these things. My dad would go on “work trips” for 1 to 2 weeks very frequently. He would leave me only $20 and/or a pizza, for the 1-2 weeks. The fridge and pantry was barely ever stocked with anything really. Basically I did not eat, and it got worse and worse as my silence and depression grew. I reached out to my mom and my friends, and let’s just say I had a lot of instances of running over to my friend’s houses to eat and sleep for the night. Because nothing was at home. I felt like my dad had become a changed man, the dad I once knew was completely different. He didn’t care about me, or my brother or sister. After my years of suffering, he became tired of me and kicked me out of the house, leaving me the only option to go live with my mom. This was hard leaving my highschool with all my friends in Grade 10, to start fresh and new at a completely new place. My grade 11, and currently my grade 12 years are shaky. My attendance has been worse, I feel tired everyday. Not motivated, just sad, tired. My dad doesn’t keep contact with me, or at least when he tries to I don’t even feel like talking to him anymore. He doesn’t pay ANY child support or any funds to help the rest of the family, so currently my mom and dad are at court. I can’t help but feel terrible for my mom, she works a minimum wage job fulltime, and has to look over my siblings and I. We aren’t even living at this point, we are just surviving. As my dad refuses to pay the legally required child support and funds, it only requires my mom to pay even more money for a lawyer for going to court and all that. My dad has been picking my brother and sister up and dropping them off at friends and their grandparents houses to “reduce the child support fees” and act like he cares. Tries to spoil them sometimes, but I know he doesn’t care. We all know he just wants to just be done, and not pay anything. Pay as little as possible. His greed has grown as long with all our suffering. Honestly, I don’t even know if writing this on this random website I found would help anything. If anyone would donate any amount it would be greatly appreciated and help our family a ton. I consider donations to be an extremely generous move. So if you feel like supporting my family and I, all my heart and thanks go out to you no matter what.

Dependable, loving and just genuinely. He has been gone for over a year and i am struggling to get everything paid. He has been incarcerated during this time and has been changing his life for the better. He gets no support in the jail in they way of classes, treatments really anything at all. For him to even further better himself he need to be home helping me take care of our bills and attend classes, treatment programs. It has been a real struggle with him gone trying to work take care of everything i need here and try to deal with what he needs to deal with there. The treatment he receives in there is inhuman. I have had to talk to sargents multiple times about mistreatment. They refuse to supply him with the books we order, the Food he pays or even the few visits we have to pay for. This is a man who is never in trouble, stays to himself, stays out of everything bad in there but still treated like an animal and not the person he is. Isnt the whole point of our legal system to help inmates get better, realize that is not the life they want to live. What even happened to innocent till proven guilty?

DESPERATE NEED OF HELP.. SMALL FAMILY

I’m not sure if it’s even possible but I’m taking the chance maybe someone out

there can help me with the situation I’m in.  This is very embarrassing due to

having a business and all was going good but suddenly things turned upside

down for me.  I don’t want to lose my business. I have a restaurant that has

been open for 10 years and this year from Nov.2017 thru the second week of

March 2018 all has gone downhill due to bad weather causing a slow customer

base. I’m in a terrible financial crunch and need money to pay what has gotten

behind.  I tried getting a loan but I’m over extended and was turned down.

If someone could help me I will forever be indebted to them. I have always

given to others and helped those in need, did fund raisers at my restaurant for

those with medical needs and can’t believe I’ve found myself now struggling to

make ends meet. If you knew me you would know how hard this is for me. I’ve

hit rock bottom to come out to ask for help and feel so ashamed to ask but I

have no other choice but to ask.  My husband died three years ago and I never

had to worry about household expenses because he took care of all that because

he had a good job, good salary ,etc. I took care of my business with funds from

the business but now find with him gone things have caught up with me ,bad

weather and trying to keep up financially trying to pay for business expenses,

household expenses that are on my shoulders without my husband. I’m so

scared and not sure how to go about this except to just ask if someone out there

can help.

Very little needed, Urgent for gas, antifreeze, & groceries.

I do not want to give too much information of my identity until I can do so personally.

My family has been in a crisis situation. Thank God, my husband just started an amazing new job. The dilema is,…..we have been surviving on savings that is now gone. And he will not receive a paycheck until the 30th of April. (Military pay, 15th & 30th).

We currently have $26 to last until that day, with no other income coming in.

Our only car leaks antifreeze, so we go through a bottle of antifreeze ($10.88 at Walmart) just to get to and from the grocery store. (Half to get there, half to get home). If the distance is short, we use water. We have just below 1/4 tank of gas. (About $2.50gal here). On 5 days a week, he needs to drive to and from work. And every other evening, we have to drive to my grandparents home. They are ill and live alone, so I handle all of their medications. I go there every other night to fill their medicine containers with two days worth of medicine.

Now to the grocery part. We have two, school age children. Thank God they are able to have lunch in school five days a week. Right now, this is exactly what we have here in the house.

  • One 12oz bag of frozen mixed veggies
  • One 1/2 cup serving vanilla ice cream
  • Half gallon of milk
  • Half gallon homemade iced tea
  • Tub of margarine
  • 4 slices Turkey bacon
  • A full bag of Cuties oranges
  • Small bag of white rice
  • A little bit of peanut butter
  • A full jar of jelly
  • A can of clam cowder (my husbands, we are allergic)
  • A box of cereal

and of course condiments…

I am not neccessarily looking for someone to hand me some cash. We genuinely just need a little bit of help. Groceries could be ordered and picked up. Antifreeze could be purchased and picked up in-store. Gas…..Im not really sure.

Ive never done anything like this before so Im not 100% sure how it works. Neither myself nor my husband use drugs or drink, he smokes cigarettes but doesn’t hold that as a priority. We have put our extra things on hold to save costs. Our phones and Comcast TV/internet are off for now.

I am a believer and I do pray. I am a genuine person, & I try to be the best mom I can be.

Any little bit will help us. Literally, anything. $10.00. I am trying to figure out dinner just for tonight for the kids, and we will go without if we have to.

Thank you and God bless.

College and Rent

Hi, my name is Colleen Craige and I’m currently a junior attending college. I’m currently living paycheck to paycheck and recently dived into the negatives in my bank account because of unforeseen charges to my account. I’m about -300 now and with the way my university pays its employees bi-weekly I won’t be able to break even for over a month. In that month I have to pay $420 of rent, a phone bill of about $120 and a credit card bill of $130. I wanted to apply for a small student load of $1000 just so I could break even and start saving again. Unfortunately, I need a cosigner and I have no one I can ask.

I already have a summer job lined up, in my field of work which is amazing, and I’m going to be working 40 hours a week, but that’s another two months away until I can work that job and I really don’t know how I’m going to make it until then. I really just need even the $300 to bring me back to zero in my account. I don’t mind living paycheck to paycheck, but I can’t live with nothing. I need the money to keep staying here and keep my job. I’m at a loss for what to do. Thank you for taking the time to read my story.

You can donate to me at paypal.me/ColleenCraige if you are feeling generous. Thank you so much, I wish you all the best.

I am in need of help

I am coming to this site in a bit of shame. I am a 31 year old working male that is currently going through a divorce. I lost everything. In the meantime, I decided to live in hotels. Of course 7 months of this will financially break just about anyone. I’m broke and in debt. I recently was able to find a place to rent that was semi furnished (this is why I chose a hotel because I have nothing), with a roommate. Between security deposit and 1st months rent I’m dead broke. No money for food, gas… Anything. Just after I moved into my apartment, I fell ill and had to be hospitalized for a week. Of course, costing me my income for that week. I had a DVT(deep vein thrombosis) that broke off and caused 7 blood clots to migrate to my lungs. I had to scrap every penny I could just to fill my Blood Thinner medication as it was hundreds of dollars. I am here basically begging for anything that can help until my next paycheck (4/26/18). I don’t have much family left. My brother has MS and is on SSI, my mother passed away and my Father is out of the country doing missionary work in Haiti. I’m ashamed and embarrassed that things have come to this, but I am hoping that one day I can pay any favor given, forward. Thank you for reading     paypal.me/ryanckucinbalance.png

I got robbed in Mexico and now I’m stranded

I came to Mexico for a job teaching English but before I could get the job, I had my purse snatched in broad daylight in the middle of the day on a busy street while passers-by just ignored me and I had to let the guys drag me down the street while holding on to my purse for dear life until they finally got it away from me running. The police caught the guys but then they confiscated my purse and everything in it for “evidence,” lying to me about how long they needed to keep it, then transferred it to a different police station on the day they said I could have it back, and so on and so forth. I’ll never see it again. I need to have the passports replaced, the French one and the Irish one; but those cost money and since I didn’t get the job I came here for I don’t have that kind of money anymore. I’ve been Couch-Surfing ever since then, trying to stay at one “couch” for long enough to replace either of the passports which are like 3-8 weeks’ worth of processing time because it’s “overseas” and they have to come from overseas like that. People here in Mexico don’t understand that or don’t care, just because “theirs” don’t take that long or there’s a language barrier or a cultural barrier, whatever. Needless to say there are no womens’ shelters down here if you’re not Mexican or an immigrant from a lesser country like Central or South America. I have no family or friends who could be called on by either of my Embassies because at my advanced age I’m pretty much financially alone in the world. What’s left of my family recently closed out my remaining savings account with £4,500 in it and hid the money from me and won’t send it to me any digital way whatsoever so that’s out of the question. That money is gone, that ship has sailed; it’s probably in Fiji by now. So please dispense with the “have the Embassy call your friends or family” rubbish I’m tired of hearing from people here!

 

I need like £100 for the passport and enough to live off of for the two months it will take, like £1000 or so. I don’t personally know anyone anymore who can spare even the £100. Yes, my sphere of friends and “family” is pathetic but I’m told that my family has always been like that. It’s because I’m the “educated” one with the Master’s degrees so I “shouldn’t” be this broke. But recently I just got out of jail from US Immigration throwing me there for trying to LEAVE the US before I wound up going to jail over something they made up and blew out of proportion. I have teacher licences in several US states and a couple of other countries, I’ve never been in trouble with the law my entire life in any of those countries; up until last year when I tried to leave the US I had no criminal record whatsoever. So because I’m a minority, US Border Patrol and the state of New York decided after 36 hours of searching my car and interrogation and making up stories about everything I had in the car and in my suitcases, no matter what I said to the contrary, they decided I was some kind of “terrorist” for trying to leave the US and wanting to go to Belgium or France for my PhD in Physics, made me some kind of “terrorist.” So now all of a sudden after 45 years of being squeaky-clean I have a 5-page “rap sheet” from US Immigration. For no reason other than racism and the Trump Administration. Treat every nonwhite person trying to leave the US like some kind of “terrorist” and give them a criminal record so they can’t come back. Fine. I’m trying to get back to France, not back into the Racist States of AmeriKKKa. But meanwhile, the government confiscated pretty much everything I had, all my computer electronics, all my “papers,” all my college and university transcripts, even some of my clothes, for reasons I can’t figure out. I got “worked over” for no reason other than I’m a minority – and I’m a woman, too, that’s what I can’t figure out; why they treated me like a MAN. Terrorists are MEN, damn idiot USA. They even said stupid things like asking me who my employer was, and I said “Teachers Without Borders” and they’d never heard of it so they said I had NO job. That sort of idiotic nonsense went on for the better part of 2 calendar days before I got thrown in jail.

 

So, yeah, I’ve been through more in this past year than any one should have. And I’ve had that same purse snatched off my shoulder 3 times in one calendar year and confiscated by now the “authorities” of all three North American countries, first Canada, then the US, now Mexico. I want off this continent!! It obviously doesn’t want me here. I’m sitting here in Mexico just trying to blend in and not stand out; because I’m dark-skinned I blend in better but I need to get out of here too. Just a couple thousand dollars will do; I’m not asking to replace my entire savings account, here.

A little Blessing. A Little Luck.

This is honestly about the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. For that reason alone I hope you understand how much this would mean to me. I moved into a new city not long ago. I brought with me 2 bags and a few hundred dollars. Instantly moving in with four adults and 2 children in a one bedroom apt. I set out the very next day after arriving and found 2 jobs. By day 2 I had 2 jobs . I worked focused and saved chipping in my portion of rent for the walk in closet portion Of the apt. I was very trusting at the time. Honestly doing very well for my self. Long story short. Four of the adults end up in jail. 1 luckily is a parent of the 2 children. I quit one of my jobs to watch these kids. Just because I was there. They had been through a lot. I ended up losing my other job because the other guy kept putting his job over his chilfren, me, and my job. I recently used up all my savings saving this family. And have nothing left. This guy I barely know is working full time I’m watching and raising his children and he is not appreciative or anything. I am 100% honest he does not care much for his children .I fell into this position having a big heart and now even if I wanted too I couldn’t leave I have no money whatsoever. I am honestly really ready to go. I am trying to raise enough money to start over and this time rely on myself. I would like to go back to school, drive my own car, and live in my own place. As soon as I have the funds up I will definitely reach out to these children’s extended families or if I have to cps. I know what these children deserve and they are not getting it. This is or was not my plan at all. I just couldn’t afford to lose the place or risk the other guy having a hard time honestly we needed each other to survive. I just honestly cannot raise his children any more. I have to be set up if I am leaving and I don’t want the children in a system unless they have to be. I’m doing my best. I could use a blessing I have no one to turn too. I would love and could use some help. So I can move out and do this by myself and hopefully getting the children in a much better loving family situation. Please. Just a Little blessing is all I need. A little bit of luck.

When Life has taken a turn for the worst and you find yourself wondering what happened…

The struggle is still real. Having your pay cut in half, falling behind and then having extra things thrown on top of it all just seems so unfair for this situation. I can’t quite understand why life has hit me so hard and with such intensity.

Anyhow with rent, car payments, insurance, gas, food…the bare necessities, I can’t afford to catch up and get right. My bank account is in the hole $500, my car payment is a month behind, insurance payment is a month behind and house arrest wants half my paycheck every week.

Rent – $725
Car – $315
Insurance – $160
Student Loan $75
House Arrest $175/wk ($700/mo)
———————–
Total $1975
———————–
Income $450/wk ($1800/mo)
————————
Result $-175

And that doesn’t even factor in food and gas to get to work and to check-in up in Scranton every week.

If anyone can find it in their heart to help me pay off the house arrest so it is one less thing I have to deal with, you would be doing me the biggest favor imaginable. The total cost is $1400 for the 2 mos I’m on it which for someone with no previous criminal record is in my opinion outrageous. They want people to do the right thing, yet they tear you down and make things harder. If I can’t pay my rent, I lose my place. If I lose my place I have no where to house arrest which means back to jail. If I lose my car I can’t get to work or continue to look for better employment and they don’t seem to care about anything except getting what’s theirs.

Anyone who donates would be forever in my debt. The amount of appreciation, love and respect would be limitless. I seriously could never repay the gratitude you will have earned from me. Thank you to anyone who even takes the time to read this.

God bless!

Lost Job, Fighting Serve Deperession/Bipolar and anxiety!

Hello! I’m a 27 year old male who recently just lost my job dued to having an episode of completely down at work which cost me everything. I don’t have very much family or friends to lean on and I’m not one to ask for help but I hit rock bottom and struggling to pay my bills, rent, electric etc. When I was 9 years old I was placed in foster care after my dad left to be with another women and my mom who has had a mental break down and lost us to the system. Since 9-18 I was in 4 different foster homes. I had a chance to move with my dad but he ended up abusing me and my sisters to the point it scarred me and made me feel I wasn’t good enough for life. During my foster care stays, I was booked in 3 mental hospitals due to suicide attempts cause I felt my life had no meaning. I lost my family and foster homes was never permenant. As I graduated high school the depression, anxiety and bi polar followed me and cost me so many jobs. I tried getting help from the government and in their words they said “even though my condition is serve, it isn’t serve enough.” Now I’m faced with no income. I can’t buy food, clothes, hygiene and I’m shitting down because I don’t know what to do anymore. I’m asking for anyone who will be kind enough to help me. It will be greatly appreciated.

Help me have a home <3

My name is Hope. All my life I have been caring foe others and putting others needs before my own. And that is not a complaint, there is nothing id rather do with my life. I believe with my whole heart that is my only purpose. I work as a nurses aid caring for open heart surgery patients. This does not pay well, but my heart is overflowed with the joy of caring for others and paying it forward. This past January my whole world was turned upside down when I lost my home to dangerous electrical damages. Myself, my teenage sister and her 2 year old daughter were forced out of our home, everything we own is in a storage unit and the 3 of us are sharing a bedroom in my moms TINY apartment. I had to rehome my pets, which are my entire life, and give up my only home. I do not make much money but my paychecks are being garnished for student loans, im making payments on an old car that breaks down and costs me way too much money to repair every month and I am trying my hardest to save money for a new place to live which is proving to be a task. I have finally found a mobile home that would be perfect for my family. The trouble with mobile homes is that banks will not finance them so its impossible to get a loan and the price is too high for people who need them to hand over in cash. This home is 12,500 dollars, of which I have 1,200 dollars to contribute. Ive never felt such loss as the moment I realized I dont have a home. If anyone could help, my life would be changed forever. I look forward to the day, I can give back to families and people in need.

In need of help

I am in need of funds to move. It’s an emergency situation. I just moved into a house a little over a month ago and soon discovered the plumbing doesn’t work nor does the heat. The pic I took is of the toilet backed up into the bathtub. I know it’s disgusting but this is what I am dealing with. The house was so cold a week ago that I  could see my breath. My family member owns this house and can’t afford to fix it so I need to get out of here. The problem is my finances haven’t even recovered from this move and now I have to move again. I have very little money and need about 3 thousand dollars to move and catch up all my bills. I also paid a plumber to come out twice which took a lot of my funds. I feel strange asking for help because I’m usually the one who is able to help others so I am hoping and praying my generosity comes back to me. Not that I think I’m owed it. I don’t expect anything in return when I help others. I’m just hoping for some good karma at this time. I have nowhere to go so I am stuck in this terrible situation and I have cried to the point of exhaustion, so I am asking for help now. I found a house to rent but no money at all for first month’s rent and deposit and no money to catch up the bills. I know this help would get me back on my feet and doing good again. This house is truly a nightmare. I just want to be able to use the restroom without the toilet backing up into the bathtub. I want to be able to take a shower without it backing up into the toilet and making it overflow. Doing laundry also backs everything up. There are many other problems with the house as well but the plumbing and heat are the biggest issues. Please help me to be able to move and catch my bills up. I can’t even have company over here. I am a single woman with only one income but I truly believe if I can get some help this one time, I will be ok. I tried getting a loan. I even tried with some very shady, sketchy companies because I am so desperate but I was turned down by all of them because I don’t have enough credit. If anyone will please help me, please know I will be so grateful and humbled and I will definitely pay it forward when I’m back on my feet.

Finally got job…but it may be too late

I have spent 3 years looking for a job. We were barely able to make ends meet with my wife’s paycheck and help from family, but not without going into severe debt. Finally, I landed a job, which begins next week.

The day we found out about my job, we had half an hour of happiness. That’s when we found out that my wife’s job was being eliminated.

We need $5,500 to get to ground zero. That is the line between immediate sinking and swimming. Our rent is $1200, and we are 3 months behind. Our electric bill is $500 behind, and we have a $1200 gas bill. Those are in danger of being cut off at any time. We have cut back on everything to survive, and the stress of living this way has taken a toll on our health. Our marriage is, thankfully, strong. We face this together.

Currently I have two shirts that are suitable for my new job, and one pair of pants. I can make that work until I get paid. My first check should be enough to cover half of next months rent. There will be no lunch until I get paid, but I have dealt with that before. It will cost me $25 a week to get to work and back, which means I need $50.00 to get me through until my first paycheck. I’m sure I can get a friend to front that. We are eating what we can afford.

Our monthly expenses, for two people, comes to around $3,000. My job will gross $1,120 per month for the first six months. After that I would make $35,000 per year. If we could get $10,000, it would give us the ability to get rid of a couple of monthly payments, which would lower our monthly costs by $500 and a give us a month for my wife to find a job.

We have been on a ten year stretch of incredibly bad luck, beginning with an accident that left my wife in chronic pain. Her prescriptions are $100 a month with the insurance she had been receiving through her work. We don’t know what that will rise to now. I have been struggling with severe clinical depression for decades, exacerbated by my employment situation and my inability to do anything about my wife’s pain.

This request is not an attempt to get us above water. We don’t expect that, and we are resigned to a long struggle. It is a sincere plea to for help to exist for the next couple of months, with a roof, electricity and hot water. There is light at the end of the tunnel. We are so close to it. But if we don’t get to it our lives are going to continue to spiral down, and the light will dim and fade away.

Thank you for your time. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

I just need my phone cut on

I’m a 22 year old kid who wanted to get out and away from his abusive mother. But at the time I didn’t have the foresight to see that she would be vindictive enough to run up a bill in an attempt to get back at me. She has always been this unstable and that’s why i left. I want to get my little brothers out of there too but I’m still stuck in this rut she created.

 

She bought a bunch of phones and stuff, charged it to the account and now our phones are conpletely off. I only need to pay the past due to get it back on but I don’t have enough to get it done. I’m bouncing from wifi to wifi so I can keep on the grid but without my phone if I get stuck somewhwre I’m screwed. All I need is the past due amount to get by. Any amount will help

Homeless as of 1 pm

Good afternoon. I am Katherine Preston and I am requesting a donation. I have acquired some debt from going to school and working 3 jobs put me into a new tax bracket making me owe the IRS $800.00. Within the past year I tried to start up a private personal care for older adults service. I catered to 3 families with adults who had violent disabilities.  Everything was going so well that I had started to save towards the debt I had acquired. Not too much $2,000 and some pennies. After the 4th month 2 of my clients passed away. From natural causes in their sleep. Which left the family I’ve been struggling with. So the money saved became what I used to get by. Physically and financially. After the second incident left me having seizures I had to part ways. Since I am not providing a medical service which is what they needed.

Being that I was living out of a rental car I struggled with making the decision. I owe 860.00 as of today they said when they took the car from me. So as of 1pm today I was officially homeless. Which leads me to this request. I have no one else I can turn to. So I thought I’d see if anyone here would be able or willing to help. Help me get it together please. Anything helps

Desperate

Basically, I started university in September but my boyfriends mother died and I didn’t want him to live alone and because of the struggles he went through I left university early and moved in with him so he wouldn’t struggle financially. I dropped out of university and got myself a full time job (baring in mind I’ve basically worked full time through my education since I was 15) but the full time job I was working didn’t pay enough money so I had to get a full time job as a legal clerk (40 hours a week) then a waitress job on the side for weekends and evenings. After this for a couple of months I was exhausted and I left the waitress job and just worked as the legal clerk full time, the only problem was that it was minimum wage. Then a couple of weeks ago I realized that the solicitors were paying me less than the legal requirement so I took it up with the managing director and his advice was to ‘suck it up’ so I quit. So now I have no reference from a place I worked for 4 months, no job, no income and I have to help my boyfriend pay rent. I can’t ask my parents for money because they’re living on just 25000 a year for both of them and my two sisters, and I’m trying so hard to get another job but there’s going to be payments due before I’m going to be able to get a job. Please if anyone can help I would really appreciate it I am so lost and I have no idea what to do. Anything will help

Talented horse trainer needs help to save truck and home after divorce

9746.jpeg

My name is Trish “T” Muller I am the Trainer and owner of Rhythm 2 Collection Dressage.

Dressage- The art of riding and training a horse in a manner that develops obedience flexibility and balance.

Please help me raise $25,000 to save my business after divorce.  I am a talented instructor and accomplished rider looking for help to save my truck home and 4 horsea. If you have a passion for animals, a desire to help women in business or want to help African Americans achieve success in sports where they are underrepresented, consider helping me!

Below is a detailed description of me and my business.

My Philosophy…As a Dressage rider and trainer, I am focused on customizing my training to the individual horse.  Every horse is different, therefore the “cookie cutter” method of training is not an acceptable option for my horses or me.

My Background…I began riding horses at 7 years old.  I rode and competed in many disciplines including Western Pleasure, Saddle Seat and Hunter/Jumpers. Then, I finally found my true calling as a Dressage rider and trainer.  

My family in no way could afford a horse, let alone lessons, grooms or shows; these are requirements for success.  To bridge the gap, I was a “working student”.  A working student is the equivalent of an intern or apprentice in other industries.I am forever grateful to the instructors who mentored me.

The working student life meant hard work every single day. I am so very proud I walked that path as I now have an appreciation for the effort dedication needed to make it in this business. And, as part of my business plan, I will “pay it forward” to others in my position as I rise to the top. 

My dedication to excellence is reflected in the USDF Bronze and Silver medalsI earned, and my status as an FEI level competitor.  FEI is the highest bracket of competitor in Dressage.

My Goals…My business has three facets: individual success, client success and rehoming Off the track Thoroughbreds (“OTTBs”).  Individual and client success builds my brand and rehoming OTTB’s is a passion. 

My immediate individual goal is to earn my USDF Gold medal.  My long-term goal is to be listed as a qualified rider for the Olympic Trials.  And, my stretch-goal is to represent the USA at an Olympic Trials or Pan-American Games.

For my clients, I am looking to build our team of competitors by attracting individuals who are passionate about correct and compassionate training.

I target rehoming 1-5 OTTB’s per year.

Thank you for considering helping me.  I am truly at a place where I just can’t do it all on my own. I am working 14 hours a day and I just can’t catch up. I can’t express enough the good work our team does and how “right on the edge” we are of great things to come.I know this is my calling and I refuse to give up.  I start my day at sun up and end my day after dark.  

I have taken enough of your precious time.  I would love you to consider me for any help you may have to offer. I am a pay it forward person. 

As I say at the end of the day I am thrilled I kept the horse between me and the ground!

Humble hard working man ready to marry fiancee

Hi my name is James, and I’m requesting some financial assistance to pull myself out of my current dilemma. I recently was laid off my job that I was employed for two years. I was a hard working machine operator for a torque drill company. I really enjoyed the job and the benefits were great. I guess good things do come to an end. The bad part is I am a homeowner and have two one year old cats. My fiancee and I was supposed to marry this year but because I no longer have a job, my mortgage and bills are piling up. She is very torn up about it. I love her very much and I want us to have a stable foundation when we say i-do. I’m only requesting enough to pay my mortgage up for three months, to give me time to find another job. Fortunately I have other skill sets. I have experience in landscaping, painting and furniture assembly.  I also am a music producer, but because of work, bills and family,  I haven’t been doing anything with that. So if there is anyone who can help, I would be so grateful.

Mortgage $570 month

Lights $214 month

Food $100

Hardworking teen to support family

I’m 21 years old. Now I feel that my curiosity and thirst for life is fading. I’m so depressed that I came here. I had big dreams of becoming a successful fitness professional and helping others, but I cannot help myself. I cannot focus on studying because I’m thinking about how to make money to live. My father went bankrupt and lost his mind and then my mom took me and left him because he used to hit her until she became black. I only had her since 8. I just want to give her a house because she is old now and she only has me. If she is alright maybe I can think of my dreams. ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ Also I love someone who is on the other side of earth which makes me even more depressed. Sometimes I think I’m nothing and I think of death. I think about him every day for the past 3 years. If I don’t manage to go there or go too late and he makes a family then I would really like to die. And all this because I’m poor. If you can help me make a first step Please I will become someone who will help others too (^-^) Thank you!

We are drowning in bills. We are trying to get back on our feet. But we are flat broke

Hi everyone. I have never done anything like this but I’m pretty desperate. I’m a 33 year old single mom of 2 boys. We all have health issues. I was going back to school because I wanted to become a nurse but in the middle of it I had to have emergency spinal surgery. That was my second surgery and unfortunately I need a 3rd but with my current age and health surgeons are weary. I don’t have the best health insurance either. Trying to get them to pay for anything is a nightmare. My 11 year old son is a type 1 diabetic, asthmatic, and has a rare form of psoriasis. All his specialist appts are almost 2 hours away and it’s taken it’s toll. My car has a bad transmission and it’s so low it’s really hard for me to get in it and drive it far distances with my back. I have approx. $40,000 in school loans and approx. $10,000 in credit card debt. I don’t even know what I can physically do for a job anymore and so this has been a really depressing and trying time for my family. My 15 year old has been having some health issues although thankfully so far not as serious or severe as myself and my 11 year old. But I can’t even pay my credit card bills or any other bills. I have literally $42 in my bank account. I don’t know what to do and I could really use some help. For gas, medical, bills etc. It’s hard to get a job when you are physically limited and when you are constantly at Dr appts. I had to move back home with my mom and now she is struggling to make ends meet every month.  I could go on and on but honestly the point it we are struggling and I’m trying to get back on my feet. I need to pay off some bills and get a better and higher vehicle. If I could pay off my credit cards then I would only have 2 bills to pay every month until I can find a job.  Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read over my post. paypal.me/tizlet02

Please help me…

Hello everyone. My name is Julie. I’ve been having some financial hardship and have no where to turn.

My Grandfather and My Mother both past away almost a year ago and that’s where my problems started. My mother had no life insurance so her funeral expenses had to be paid for out of pocket. I fell into a deep depression. I couldn’t even make myself get out of bed some days. Which led to me losing my job. I started to get behind on bills and I’ve been trying to get caught up but I can’t no matter how hard I try. I need $10,000 to get everything caught up.

I’m not normally one to ask for help but I honestly have no where else to turn. I can’t get a loan or a credit card. I just need some help getting caught back up. I lay awake at night worried for me and my children. To get my bills caught up and start over fresh would mean the world to me. Thank you for reading this. Please find it in your hearts to help me I will forever be greatful and forever indebted to you.

Please, in need of help

My family is in a bit of a crisis at the moment. Both of my parents are disabled and are not supposed to work, however my mother works second and third shift to try and bring home enough money to support us. My father is fully disabled and is unable to do much of anything and is fully unable to work.

 

I have applied to every job in my area to no luck since I am a “felon” due to a mishap lie that another student had made towards me back in middle school. This alone will take around $250 to get off my record, and our family needs another $1000 or so monthly just to pay all of our bills. (I don’t have the records of this myself, as mum keeps it)

 

With all this, I want to do everything I can to help but there really isn’t much I can find to do. I can’t drive, I don’t have any equipment to do work for others, and no one near me needs help that they’re willing to pay for. I just don’t know what to do.

 

Any help that could be provided would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you for your time.

In need of help

My two girls and myself are in need of a little extra help. My husband left us in February 2018. We have not seen or heard from since. We dont even know if he is dead or alive. I’m scared because I’m on a fixed income. I’m 32 years old. I have a Brain Disease called Huntington’s Correa Disease.  There is no cure as of now. I see 7 specialist in Sacramento  Ca. Or else I’d still be working. My oldest daughter is a member of FFA. She has a Goat that is to show in the fair this month. We are low on feed for the goat. We are out of gas for transportation… a few of our Bill’s are behind. I have signed up for public Assistance.  My car needs to have rear end suspension bearings replaced.  I don’t have enough money to repair our car or buy the required parts to even fix our car. I need this car to get back and forth to my doctor appointments that are over 60 miles away twice a month. I’m trying t better my situation by doing crafts and hobbies to sell for extra money. I’m placing ads online to baby sit, house sit dog sit, etc. I’m not allowed to work any more due to the condition of my brain Disease.  I will continue to look for ways to make money with my crafts and extra time helping others who are in need of a extra hand of help… I could also use any kind of support to help me buy materials and supplies for my arts and crafts.  I like to do wood work. Any help to purchase extra materials would help me continue to make and sell my art work to make extra cash. My family is and will be grateful for any any prayer and any help that we may be able to receive.  Thank You And God Bless.

My family and I are being evicted after filing a complaint with the EPA over the horrible living conditions t our apartment.

Hello. My name is Kristen. I am a full time student and a Mother of 3. My middle son is special needs and when we moved into our apartment in December he started having severe breathing issues. They were painting the basement directly below the apartment when we moved in. I decided to have this checked because our doctor made the connection that his issues coincided with our move. I went about it in the appropriate way as I was instructed. I filed a complaint with the EPA last week and yesterday I came home from another doctor appointment for my son over this to eviction papers. I called corporate and they claim the eviction is non compliance of my lease and I asked how I was in violation. I was told that I was required to submit all complaints through the apartment complex first (which I did starting in January). I was given a court date for the eviction set for the end of this month. I did contact an attorney for a free consultation. He advised that they are attempting to wrongfully evict me. The other advice was that he recommends we move one for health issues and two because although it is in my favor they will continue to find a reason to remove us. If I had the financial capability to move prior to this I would have because it has caused severe illness for my son. I graduate in August of next year, I hold a 4.0 GPA, but I need help. Please. I heard about this site through a resource center in our town. I just need enough to move, first months rent, and deposit. I have worked my entire life, I am at a loss.. I don’t know how to get out of this hole. I am trying to make my life better through education and so I can obtain better paying jobs. Thank you for your time. Please have a wonderful day.

A jump start back to life

  1. I used to have the simple things, food on the table, shoes that aren’t ripped or another pair, a nice bed. Clothes that aren’t years old. But ever since then. Things aren’t the same, money is always tight and I can barely pay bills. Now since I have no job. My life has been garbage. And useless. I need money to buy some clothes for an interview. A pair of shoes, and money to help pay for the dentist. My mother desperately needs to go but neither of us don’t have the funds. This website is one of my last hopes. And I hope you guys can help me. Because I need to get back to work. But I can’t look like how I am now to a interview. I’m too poor to afford simple things. Lately I can’t even afford food. I’ve been eating eggs,rice, and beans. It would be nice to be able to eat chicken, beef, and it’s been a couple years since I’ve been to a restaurant. I just wanna take my mom to one. Lately she’s been down. And I hope taking her can cheer her up. Thank you guys for reading this. And i hope my request isn’t too much. My goal is just 400 dollars. Less than that is amazing also. My main focus is for the job interview. So maybe around 230. I can buy cheap clothes and see if it’s job interview appropriate. My paypal is this:

Urgent help needed; first time I ‘ve needed help…

I am a single Mom of 2 young children in Connecticut. I have been fortunate to have never needed to ask for financial help, as I have been  independent my entire adult life. However, my life circumstances have drastically changed and I am in desperate need of emergency financial assistance.

I am a domestic violence survivor. My ex-husband (father to both of my children), had physically and mentally abused me the last year or so of our marriage. I had requested the court grant my children and I with a restraining order against him, and, thankfully, the court granted my request. Even though he was removed from our home, he has continued to make life hell from outside of the home. I have since been diagnosed with severe anxiety and PTSD. He filed motion after motion at court, with the intention of bankrupting me. He was unsuccessful then- My attorneys fees came to well over $130,000! I have always had a good job, and was able to pay for all of my living expenses I had for My children and I , as well as afford my attorney fees. My ex husband does not contribute anything towards the cost of raising our children, and, has been found in contempt of court numerous times for not paying child support.

About a year and a half ago, I underwent a 7 level spinal fusion and was unable to work during my year long recovery.

This past fall, I was able to begin working again, and was hired as The Marketing & Communications Director at a local bakery. I was excited to be back up and running, and, loved my job.

Approximately 3 months into my job, my ex husband came into my place of employment and intimidated the owners, demanding they give him specific details regarding my employment. He threatened them that if they didn’t provide him with the information he wanted, he would do whatever it took to make sure their newly opened bakery was destroyed. The owners were understandably shaken, and, ultimately decided they had to let me go- they had invested a significant amount of money into the bakery and couldn’t risk losing it.

I am still unemployed, as I have not been able to find employment that allows me to have a flexible schedule, so that I can be available for my children if they are sick, or have snow days, etc. I have Sole custody of my children, and do not have anyone who can help out during those times.

Additionally, I was at my surgeons office 2 wks ago, and after reviewing my CTSCAN, he determined that the vertebrae under where I had My fusion, are being impacted by the weight of the screws and rods that are keeping my fusion in place. I am Facing another major surgery, as the vertebrae under my fusion are impinging my spinal cord, causing unbearable pain.

I am terrified beyond belief by this latest news. I have Used up all of my savings and have NOTHING left. My checking account has $3.00 in there. If anyone is so inclined to help, I would be So grateful!

As I said before, I have never had to ask for help, so this has been a humbling experience, for sure.

A Series of Unfortunate Events

I have never done anything like this and never thought it would be necessary. I do not mind asking for help; I do not like needing help. My husband worked at a job for 8 years. The CEO asked him to take his vacation and when his last check did not direct deposit to his pay card he thought it was just a simple mistake. The company informed him that they were switching payroll companies and assured him his money was coming. They were lying. He never got paid. His position was cut. Unemployed. We had just moved into a new house out in the country. We had to walk to get cell phone reception. We waited for weeks on this money that never came. My husband was devastated. He was proud to have worked his way up to the position he had. We were so broke that we could not even go to apply for jobs. Our reception on our cell phones didn’t allow us to apply for anything online. We didn’t even eat for 3 days because we did not have a way to get anything. The landlords eventually came around and thought we were lying. It ended with us being treated bad by them. They literally came and sat in our home and refused to leave. They disconnected propane gas lines for “repairs” and shut off the water too. I didn’t know whether to cry or fight. Then, they bought us lunch. We were so confused. They ended up giving us our deposit back for leaving. We went and stayed at a cheap motel and started searching for jobs and assistance. Unfortunately I could only find help for people still in their homes. The local crisis center told me I could work so they didn’t understand why I needed help. I have a child and I was driving him 20 miles to school one way. I called these people 5 times and they offered me green beans. That’s it. I contacted a church and the preacher took donations. We got to stay in the motel for a week. After this I ran across a wonderful opportunity, or so I thought. 6 months no rent and I had to clean up the house then 6 months $300 rent and option to buy after that. We saw this house and never thought twice about the work. We do not mind working. We took 70 of the carpenter trash bags full of trash out of the house. We killed roaches with everything we could. It was infested so bad we slept in our vehicles for 3 months. It was hard but we made it through. Our vehicle was repossessed when we went to eat one day. It wasn’t supposed to be. We weren’t even a month late. My purse was taken during the process. I finally cried a little. 6 months have gone by and the landlord decided since her insurance policy on the house expires she is selling and wants us out immediately. When I did not agree she shut off the utilities and prevented us from turning them on. She got the hard work done and wants us out. We have been living 1 month without electric or water. Our truck motor is ruined. We are stranded. Our tax return was taken. I have 5% on my phone and I just want to get my story out so maybe someone will hear me and help.

I dont want to lose what i worked hard for

My husband and i are 22 years old with 2 handsome boys. we are very hard working parents with kind hearts. However being kind has its disadvantages, and it gets us in pickles that are difficult to come out of. We had gotten a car out for a family member and got screwed out of $900, because they just left it at the dealership unpaid 2 months. We were then going to just turn the vehicle in because we could not afford a second vehicle at the time, but we gave the vehicle to another family member in need of transportation instead,  they then blew the transmission and left it unpaid to us as well. After searching for a transmission and a cheap mechanic another member came to us needing a vehicle. We recommended the very cheap mechanic and to buy a transmission very cheap at around $600 for it to be up and good to go. However they took matters into their own hands and put it into a shop and had the transmission rebuilt. The charge was initially about $4000, the member just left it because it was too much for them to pay. Even after we told them all expenses will be on them for anything past the $600. We are now being charged interest and and have to come up with the money to pay the dealership to keep it current. the dealership has given us to the end of April beginning of May to pay the full amount or our other vehicle we have from there, which we only have 10 months left and the vehicle is ours and our only means of getting around for our jobs and children, will be repossessed and the $10,000 we have already put into the vehicle will be down the drain. i work at night when there are no buses to bring me to and from work. My husband works on his own as a landscaper and needs our vehicle to take equipment around. We are stuck between paying rent or the vehicle that takes us to and from work just so we can pay rent. A lot of hard work is being put into everything we do and it would be very difficult to lose it all. We, ourselves, are trying to come up with as much as we can but alone we just can not do it. Its very hard for us to be asking for help, however our jobs and children depend on this vehicle. We would really hate to lose it.

My husband and I are 22 years old with 2 handsome boys. We are very hard working parents with very kind hearts. However being kind has its disadvantages and gets us in pickles that are difficult to come out of. We had gotten a car out for a family member and got screwed out of $900 and then gave the vehicle to another family member who blew the transmission and left it unpaid to us, which we paid the two months behind. We then gave it to another family member because we could not afford to pay for two vehicles because we had originally got the second vehicle for a family member. We had recommended a very cheap mechanic and to buy a new transmission very cheap as well for under $600 for it to be up and good. However the vehicle was then put into a shop and had the transmission rebuilt. The charge was initially about $4000, the family member left it because it was too much and we are now being charged interest. The dealership has given us a month to pay the full amount plus the backed pay or we have our other vehicle , which we only have 10 months of payments left then it is ours and our only means to get around for our jobs and children, will be repossessed and the 10,000 we’ve already paid for it will be down the drain. We are stuck between paying our rent or the vehicle that takes us to and from work just so we can pay rent. We do not want to lose everything we’ve worked really hard for. We are trying to come up with as much as we can but alone we can not do it. It’s very hard for me to be asking for help, but our jobs depend on our vehicle. We have worked to hard to lose it.

Single mother needs help with bills graduation

Hi my name is Christina. I am a single mother of 4. In this last year I have lost my grandmother who was my mother to cancer , 6 months later I lost my father. My kids and myself have been through alot in the last year. I work part-time that I can only do for now . My son who is 17 is in sports and I have to try to get him from game to game and practices. My beautiful only daughter is graduating in June. I have no money left over to buy her the cap , gown or graduation ring. I am also struggling with car problems and bills and rent. I try the best that I can but it’s not enough. Sometimes we go without food on the table. It gets rough. I am asking anyone , someone help. I also have 3 grandkids which I also help my son and his wife financially and physically. I know life is hard for all of us. But I don’t know if I’ll be able to afford to see my first kid walk the stage. My youngest is 17 and he will be joining the Navy next year when he graduates. All I’m trying to do is get my kids through life. I have no help from anyone. When my mother and father passed away it brought all of my siblings to greed with there belongings so me and my kids pulled away from my family. Which I have no one to turn to. I know God looks out for us. Maybe he brought me to this page for a reason. I have lost alot. I don’t know how I get through everyday but I do. I don’t allow my self to have to many friends for I still haven’t moved on from my family who passed. I hurt everyday for mom and dad.

Need Help with Emergency Housing Crisis Situation and Rent/ Deposit Payment

Hello.

Thank you for reading my post and for your willingness to help.

I am looking for help to get out of a difficult, critical and stressful housing situation, and hope that someone can stretch a helping hand during these challenging times.

I am a responsible person, but somehow things slipped off the track and got stuck.
I have to move out of my current living place in just a few days, but ran out of savings, and have nowhere to go, and am unable to pay rent. Rent is expensive, and ranges anywhere from $800 and up per month. I have been out of work, and could not find employment on time before running out of resources to get back on my feet. I exhausted all of the resources, and have nowhere to go for help.
I need to raise funds to find a new place to live and cover rent, security deposit, and essential living expenses in order to survive during these difficult times and move on with life. Overall, I need to raise about $4000-$5000. If you can please help with any amount at your discretion, I will be very grateful. It would make a huge life-changing difference to me. Donations can be sent via PayPal only to: paypal.me/tafti

Thank you very much in advance.

Financial Situation

I am in need of help with my family, we are almost in a financial crisis, my mother recently just lost her job to boss who knew what the financial situation was and he still decided to fire her without giving her any reason, but even before that whenever she would do something to make her money example: candle business, it was always turn out bad, something bad always came up, she has 5 loans that she has to pay off, if we loose the car that will put us deep in the dirt, her loans can’t be late or her car note or that will knock her credit down 100 points, my mother has worked way too hard for her to keep loosing, for what society is doing to us now. seeing your mother hide her emotions and cry really does break my heart (son is writing this) she is always putting everybody before herself and it’s not fair that she tries to hard to be successful and society kicks her in the stomach, her not working is really stressing her out because she has all these bills to pay, my dad is barely working everyday so with little money that does for her, i just recently lost my job due to poor management and i feel really bad because i feel like i need to do something to help her you know and i feel like i can’t and i cry because i can’t bare the feeling her my mom being depressed everyday but hides it with a smile.. I F****** HATE IT it really breaks my heart. if there is anybody out there that can help us please do, it would change my mom and my dads life they truly deserve

I’m 30, my folks are dead, and I need money to save what family I have left.

Hi, my name’s Jackson. I’ve just turned 30 and things aren’t going very well, to say the least. It’s not a pretty story, but aside from bankruptcy I don’t know what else to do except put this out there and pray for generosity. So here goes:

 

For starters, I had to be adopted by my grandparents on my mother’s side when I was very young because my mother struggled with alcoholism after I was born, and my biological father wanted nothing to do with me. This wasn’t so bad as my grandparents were very decent, loving people and gave me a childhood full of warm memories and raised me to have a good head on my shoulders. They were solidly working-class though, we had to live in a modest home in a small town, and never had very much in the way of money.

My grandfather was a welder by trade and the breadwinner of the family, and he passed away from a heart attack in 2005, when I was 17. My grandmother was already in poor physical health and as you can imagine, this devastated her emotional health (and mine). Everything pretty much went to hell. We couldn’t live on her Social Security benefits alone, so I had to start working full-time right out of high school.

Without my grandfather to take care of the house, we made a decision to sell it and move to a different state, which we would come to regret as it was 2008 and the economy crashed. I couldn’t find work outside of a gas station and we were bleeding away what little money we got from the house. So we moved back to our home state a year later.

Things went alright for a couple of years, and I eventually found a full-time office job which I’m still employed at today. Then, in 2012, my grandmother was diagnosed with brain cancer. Despite treatment, she passed away six months later and I was left alone. After the medical/death expenses and all the fallout was over, I was left with very little and struggled to make ends meet. One unexpected expense and problem after another forced me to go into debt on credit cards, which is obviously a bad idea because of how quickly it snowballs if you aren’t careful. I was in my mid-20s and not careful enough.

At the same time, my biological mother had a medical close call which made her wise up and quit drinking, and we began to repair our relationship. With nowhere else to go, I let her move into my apartment. She was the only close relative I had left and I refused to abandon her when she’s making a genuine effort to be a better person. She was even able to adopt a dog, who is part of our family now. After resenting her so much as a kid I’m happy to say I love her and I want to keep supporting her.

Unfortunately, despite five years of sobriety and working on her health, her doctors have told her that she likely has liver cancer and will need a transplant. If I had a few years where nothing unexpected came up I could probably manage on my own, but that isn’t realistic – it’s just one crisis after another. I have no idea how I’m going to help my mom through this and stay afloat, and I don’t know what else is going to come up either. I fear losing her, and I fear bankruptcy and/or homelessness. So yeah, I’m desperate enough to write all of this up on a cyber-begging site.

If you actually read all of this, even if you can’t afford to donate anything, I thank you for your time.

If you can help at all, it will mean everything to me and my mom. My PayPal.Me link is here: http://paypal.me/JacksonDuncan

Thank you again, and God Bless.

Uni student needing financial help!

Hi,

I am an 19 year old student currently studying at uni to get my nursing degree.

I am in my second year and it has been tough as i have to pay for housing appenses instead of being in a uni dorm in my first year and expenses were not as bad.

I currently have a part time job to try and get by even though the hours i work on my placement can really have you tired and worn out.

I done a silly thing last month and ended up taking out a few pay day loans which i do regret now. I am struggling to pay them off and the lenders i got them from are not agreeing to an new payment plan and it really has me stressed and worrying at the same time.

My dad will not be able to help me out as i know he is struggling as it is, he was hit by a car on his bike and suffers from injurys that stop him from going back to work.

If anyone can help i would be grateful!

Many Thanks

Zoe

Trying to save my family life

Hello!
Sorry about my really bad English and poor typing.
My name is Žiga. I am 18 years old. I am trying to get some help.
Why do we need money:
One day my aunt was kicked from her house and we let her live in our house (she still owns a small room in our house). When she was living with us like 2-3 years, she was trying to get contor of our family life (I still don’t know why was she doing that).
My mom figure it out what she was trying to do and then the real conflict start. Then she started to be really annoying and she was trying to make us do something illegal (like hitting her) we never do this and then she was trying to sue us and completely destroy our family, she also knows that we can barely get through the month. Then she sues us, that we need to give her money for her small room which cost 24.000€ but we can’t give her 24.000€ in full pack which is in the law that if she request  full pack we need to give her whole amount of this money  and now if we don’t get this money we will lose a whole house.
We tried a lot of things also My brother which is 23 years old now went to Austria to get some money but its not helping us to much. My mom already has psychological problems because of this and I left the school for half a year to go working to give her some money. I will do anything for help.

Young and silly

I have always imagined that by this age I will own a car, be in college and have a camera to do photography.

(And, what I hoped for that I could at least give some money to my parents. Afford my mom a haircut. (She didn’t see a hairdresser for 20 years, I would cut her hair and she would give me a dollar or two.))

I am 21 year old from Croatia

I enrolled in college 2 years ago. It was the happiest day of my life. But It all went away.

I had to work with college to pay for rent. Many students do. 2 dollars per hour just couldn’t cover it. Thanks god for friends who wouldn’t let me be without food and my mother who grew vegetables in our garden.

Wake up at 6 – go to college – go to work – write homework at night.

I quit college last year. I started working as a waitress. After that I found an office job. Paychech – 400$ rent 360$ with utilities.

I didn’t complain. I would buy food in outlet stores with reduced price and would get some food when I was volunteering cooking for homeless.

I was good living like that. Didn’t have much but I knew that one day I will start photography, start my bussines or move to another country.

It is a bit tricky because you depend on job – you can’t quit because you are wraped up in all things and worries that having a job solves.

Three months ago I got pregnant – with man I love. I was happy. Never thinking about child before – but I was as happy to see positive result on pregnancy test as I was when I enrolled college. I had not just morning sickness but all day sickness.

I told my boss and got fired.

No job – no money – no money to pay rent. I have an apartment contract for 6 more months.

I got depressed. Pregnant without a job. Coming from poor family. Stress caused me spontaneus abortion. Or maybe something else caused it. But any woman who felt that joy of being pregnant and than lost it knows it is not easy to cope with that.

First time in my life I know what real depression feels like.

I got out of it, I think. Much better now and have job interview tommorow.

Again I will have some money coming. But not until next month when you get paid.

I managed to pay last month borrowing from friends and giving english lessons. This month I paid only one part with credit card.

I need now to pay for April. I don’t have any money in my wallet. I look forward to coins I find on the floor.

Now I need to pay off my credit card by 3.4 200 $ and to pay rent 350$ for April by 8.4. And to pay back my firends 350$. I need to pay one part of my rent 200$ from previous month as I didn’t manage to.

My bank blocked me until I pay back. And my friends want to see their money.

I don’t know how to get out of this situation. Please, if you have a dollar extra donate and help me.

I feel really helpless because I am in this situation. I looked for help everywhere.

(I volunteer at least once a week. I try to do good. I run an instagram profile to promote animal rights.)

But soon I will start working and future will be better. I only need to remove this baggage from my shoulders so I can breathe. I am 21. I just want a decent life.

(I don’t know what to take picture of as I don’t get check from landlord but I have one from bank – I blurred for personal info)

All in all I need 1100$. Just so I can move on.

Praying for a change

My name is Khloe I am a 33 year old single mother of 4 of the most beautiful children. I am truly blessed every day with the unconditional love that comes with being a mum.

I have a 14 year old son, a 10 year old daughter, a 7 year old son and a 6 month old baby boy.

We are in accommodation for women and children who have come from Domestic violent relationships. This accommodation is only temporary and we have to find our own rental property.

Finding a rental property is not the problem. There’s plenty of them around.

Our problem is having the money to be able to move into a rental property.

Due to the circumstances that surrounded us ending up in the situation we are in we have no furniture, no car, no house… We vurtuvirt each have a small suitcase with some clothes and that is it.

My children’s father was a very violent and abusive man in the 15 years we were together. I suffered numerous broken bones, fractures and bruises. My children suffered some physical abuse but mostly mental abuse. It was only a matter of time before he did something worse.

We need to be able to pay for the bond on a rental property and buy some furniture.

I would like to be able to buy a cheap car as well

Any help would be a blessing and we wiuwo be forever grateful for your kindness.

We just need a new start. A place to call home

 

 

Thank you
