My name is Desi.  I am asking for funds to prepare for a corrective surgery in the abdominal area in October from the stomach bypass and will require at least 4 months to recover. I also have an urgent car loan and extensive repairs totaling $9,073.00 currently as a result of the high mileage placed on the car from my job as a deliverer of medical materials/supplies and driver for patients – need this by Wednesday, October 2.  Currently, my outstanding bills total $46,560.00.  For the corrective surgery and 4 months of recovery, my bills will be a grand total of $85,620.00.

I have always been challenged. But, I trust God, His process and live my life going beyond my means.  In the last few months, I have been sick, quickly lost 30 lbs. plus in a few weeks and have been unable to sleep. I am having eating and abdominal/stomach problems because of scar tissue and the obstructed area provides a small opening from my stomach bypass.  I do not have an appetite. I am scheduled to have extensive test and possibly surgery in October. I have been challenged to keep up with my medical bills, a loan and repairs of my car and monthly livelihood bills.

My story does not start just this year upon asking for your help.  It started before I was born. At birth, I was diagnosed with “arthrogryposis” (which is arthritis, polio, and visually have clubbed hands and feet with no ankles and wrist bones). As a result, I was identified as disabled, having extreme physical challenges of living a normal life with handling things with my hands and walking with my feet. From childhood to adulthood, I had millions of dollars worth of surgeries to maximize my independence.  I also had a stomach bypass as an adult to help my short and small body frame maneuver better – my weight was too heavy for my body frame. However, none of this hasn’t slowed me down at all.

As a child with a crutch or two, I played football, basketball, whatever I wanted to do. As a youth at just two years old, I served at Eastern Star Church of God & Christ as the drummer and this helped me develop a great love and appreciation for music. I played in my high school military-style marching band.  I am currently serving as the Minister of Music at my church where I have been a member for over 20 years. Then in giving back to the community and through travel, I live fully in my purpose mentoring and supporting the youth and adults in their musical endeavors.

One of my greatest accomplishments in life is building a beautiful family with a wife and two wonderful children (Dr. C’monee & Ethan).  You see, I was never supposed to be able to get married and have a child. As a result of getting married, I became ineligible to receive disability benefits.  I vowed to God and my wife that I would take care of my family, again going beyond my means.  As everyone else does, I work full time driving and picking-up/delivering medical supplies and tests, and transporting patients to/from their appointments.

My 1^st wife, Monique got terminally ill with cancer and passed.  The two most beautiful and loving things that Monique did before she passed was take my last name as her own and introduce me to my 2^nd wife Sonja. Sonja and I would be married 4 years after Monique passed. As I promised God and Monique, I also promised Sonja that I would take care of her.

I am in urgent need of your help. Sonja and I primarily depend on my income to sustain ourselves. I currently have:

• Medical bills
• Car loan and repair bills
• Business loan
• Mortgage
• Utilities
• Cable/Internet/emergency landline
• Cell phones

In closing again, I am so grateful for all of your help in allowing me to live my life to the fullest in purpose and beyond my means.

Again, thank you, thank you, thank you.

I’m out of ideas, lost, and about to lose it all. My husband and I are both hard working blue color people in a nurse and he’s a Welder/ machine operator.  My husband was injured at work earlier this year, he completely severed his right bicep (his dominant arm) and has been struggling with recovery.  Previously a veritable mountain of a man now struggles to lift a gallon of milk.  He always prided himself in doing the work of 3 people, which is frankly what caused the injury, his hard working nature was taken advantage of.  I’ve been nursing a severe knee injury for the last 3 years, I haven’t had it looked at because time and money make this impossible.  We are barely scraping by and now with him having been off money has been even tighter,  causing me to max out my credit.  I’ve been taking all the overtime I can handle to support us and our 3 children all while in mind numbing pain.  I’ve always helped everyone around me as has my husband but it would seem now that we’re the ones needing help everyone has disappeared. I never ask for hand outs or even a helping hand but I have nowhere else to turn

Hi and thanks for reading this.

my name is Bonnie, I am 61 years old and I have run out of options. My electricity is scheduled to be shut off on Monday, September 23rd – just a few days from now.

There are several reasons I’m desperate to not have that happen. First, I have severe sleep apnea and use an ASV machine (similar to CPAP or BIPAP) every night when I sleep, I am diabetic and need to refrigerate my insulin, I am disabled due to mental illness and need my phone to reach out for help if needed and I have been hospitalized three times this year for an infection resulting in sepsis at one point and need to keep my phone charged in case I get sick again and need emergency services. Sepsis can be fatal if not treated right away. On top of all of that, I would lose all the food in my refrigerator and freezer and can’t afford to replace it.
It is so difficult for me to ask for help but I have no choice at this point. With a list that long and the fact that I have exhausted all other options I am forced to reach out and seek the kindness of strangers. I am a survivor of childhood emotional abuse and neglect, childhood sexual abuse, 16 years of domestic violence and a complete mental breakdown. I have fought hard to become a survivor and speak openly about it in hopes that I will be a good role model and/or a positive influence on others that may be, or know someone that may be, affected by any of those things. I believe in paying it forward when able and truly hope that someone who needs it will hear my words.
I am no stranger to struggles and I’m a strong individual but I find myself unable to find a resolution to the problem I am currently facing.   If anyone out there could find it in their heart to help me raise the $2000 I need to cover my past due electricity bill I will be forever grateful.
Thanks for listening,

Hello, my name is Piper and I am trying to help my partner bond out of jail at Adams County Detention Center. His combined total bond is sitting up there at $18,000 so with a bondsman I would need about $1800. He is in there for missing court due to the inconvenience of experiencing homelessness. He finally got an opportunity to move into a low income apartment and is missing his opportunity by being stuck in jail. If there’s anyway you can help me please Cashapp $PiperShepherd94 or PayPal chakraplasticity@gmail.com/ Piper Shepherd

I am writing to you today to seek any help due to a significant medical hardship that has impacted my life and financial stability.

I was diagnosed with Rare spinal disease called Adhesive Arachnoiditis 4 years ago. Since then, I have undergone 12 surgeries and 8 procedures,I had 5 surgeries last year which have not only been physically and emotionally draining but have also put me in a difficult financial position and living from couch to couch.

Despite having [health insurance], I am facing substantial medical bills, and my condition has affected my ability to work, resulting in a loss of income and living from place to place i have no help besides receiving EBT.

I am a mother of 3 beautiful kids,I do not work cause i have issues walking and im in extreme pain 24/7 cause of my disease.

Given these circumstances, I respectfully request any help. This support would significantly alleviate my financial burden and allow me to focus more on my recovery and health and being able to take care of my children.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration of my situation. I look forward to your understanding and a positive response. Please feel free to contact me at [Mariaadelina.407@gmail.com] should you need any further information or clarification.

Sincerely,Maria

I’m a single mom of a 17 year old young lady. I must say that I am very green when it comes to borrowing or asking for money.  I’m the type of person that if I can’t buy it, I don’t need it. At this point in time I have no choice. It has taken me a week to come and post this, but we’re in diar need for some help and I have no one that can help me, so here I am.

It all started on September 3, 2020 I woke up and got ready for work like I always have, not knowing my life would be totally changed by that afternoon. I worked for Louisiana Department of Children and Family Services as a case analyst. A co- worker and I were on our wayback to the office to call it a day. We we setting at a red light when we were then rear-ended. I don’t remember much of it except for the excruciating pain and telling my coworker I couldn’t move. Next thing I know is paramedics we’re putting a neck brace on me and putting me onto the gurney.

On April of 2001, I ended up having to have neck surgery because of the accident, which now makes me disabled and unable to work due to the surgery and back injuries.

While on medical leave for my surgery, I was terminated from LADCFS by my review stating (summing it up) that I refused to follow orders from management and i wasnt learning fast enough. Which it basically meant that I did not to take children out of their homes, away from their families and into the state’s custody. So by that, I lost my job, a nice income.

I’m still receiving workman’s comp disability. My bills got behind but before I ran out of my savings I called each one of my creditors and asked to use my insurance that I purchased for my credit cards or if they had some type of hardship assistance. Needless to say, I was denied both and was told that they would not look at my account until I was further in debt. My credit cards started going into collections, along with a few judgements.

Then on May 7, 2024 I almost lost my son in a collision with a big rig. His truck was totalled and I thought I’d never see him again, but thank God, he was able to walk away from it with a rod in his leg, so he could walk again, and several scars. He’s doing great now walking with a little limp, but he’s here and walking.

This has all taken a toll on me, not to mention the overdue bills, especially an overdue electricity bill that I have been having to pay an extra $100 on a month. This is all so very hard to do especially when you can’t even do for yourself much because you have limited movement and at times you can’t even walk.

Doctors still do not know what is wrong with my back from the accident in 2020. They’ve said possible surgery but they want to do more injection procedures first to see if that helps me be able to walk, stand and sit normally because I can hardly stand to take a shower, but I fight through the pain to get it done.

All I do really know is I have to keep fighting to keep my head above water so that I can pay off my truck ($28,000) and I can get us a forever home. Then when I got my check over $450 was taken out of my bank account, for God only knows what but that money was part of half of my truck note, so now I’m a half of a month behind on that and still fighting with the company that took my money.

Now I have to figure out what to do so that my checking account doesn’t go south with everything else, which it probably will. It’s already hard to make it on the income that I have, but now it’s even harder to catch up.

My father was helping me financially, but now he says that he can’t help us anymore, because he’s paying his girlfriend’s bills and he’s retiring in October even though the deal when I moved here, was that my father would pay all the utilities for me and my kids, which consists of the electricity, gas, and water. It’s mostly because it’s his house and all the utilities are in his name but he doesn’t live here.

I wish angels would come and assist me with these financial burdens. That way me and my daughter can move back around my mama where we know we would live happily ever after.

I was able to get in touch with FHA, but since all my credit cards had messed up my credit I have to get that taken care of first. It will take at least $1,000 to fix my credit, so that we can move into our forever home and we would finally have a house that we can call ours. If those angels are reading this and can assist me financially, I would be forever grateful.

My brother recommended this website to me, despite knowing I prefer helping other people… not asking for it.  I moved back in with my folks over 12 years ago, to help around the house because my mother had such back problems, she couldn’t clean, cook or do much of anything else physical.  She had 3 back surgeries – the first two, didn’t help much.  The third one eventually was the one that really fixed her back problems, so she would have better mobility with little pain.

Sadly, my father never got to see her recover fully from her back surgery and have a more normal life, as he unexpectedly died – 4 days before Christmas 2013.  It’s been my mother and I since he died, and I made it a point to make sure she was happy as much as possible, since she missed him so much (they were married for 50 years)!  She died almost 2 years ago, and I’m sure she lived as long as she did… because I was here and kept her spirits happy!!

This is where things got really bad.  Two days after she died, the water heater blew (literally… it was spewing water from the top of it – fortunately, I was home and turned the water off within a minute of it happening, to prevent flood damage everywhere).  My mother’s retirement/social security was what paid all the bills.  I was already deeply depressed, after losing my mother – and my best friend.  We ate our meals together (I did most of the cooking, but let her help when it wasn’t too taxing on her physically); we watched TV together – even if it wasn’t my favorite shows… just to keep her company; and I took her shopping, when it was a store she really wanted to go to (I did all the mundane shopping for food, supplies, etc.).

I am still without a water heater!  I was planning on buying a water heater at the beginning of January 2023, but the state of California passed a law that mandated ALL natural gas water heaters must be Low-NOX compliant or something like that.  I “had” the money to buy a 40-gallon water heater – but that was for the model that didn’t have that new requirement – the newer model was one-third higher in cost, putting it over a thousand dollars!  That put me into a downward spiral of depression, not knowing what I was going to do.  I had a limited amount of savings, but spent more time trying to figure out how I was going to get a cheaper water heater… instead of just biting the bullet and just getting it (being depressed REALLY screws-up clear thinking – at least I don’t drink or do drugs).  If I would have just bought the more expensive water heater, I could have gotten a job back at the beginning of 2023 – without worrying if I could bathe quickly, so I could function normally.  Heating water in large pots on the stove top and putting them into clean 5-gallon buckets to use in the bathtub… made bathing a “3-hour” process.  That made me MORE depressed, from the start of heating the water, until the time I was finally able to finish.  I called several agencies in my city, so see if there was a way around that expensive water heater, but to no avail.  After a month or so, I gave up… and also found out that available job was no longer available.

I’ve used up all of my savings, and though that job is available again (and I “am” going to take it)… I *REALLY* need a new water heater!  If I am lucky, I will be able to keep paying my monthly bills, but I can’t afford to buy a water heater.  I haven’t taken “a shower” in almost 2 years!!  Although I still bathe with water heated on the stove, it is a VERY difficult and time-consuming process.  I don’t know if I would have the time to install a water heater on my own (or if I can even do it), and there’s been a change in the code for installation requirements – which I’m not sure I can do correctly.  I made a few calls, and it’s looking like a cost of around $3000.00 (probably to correct some of the non-compliance things my father and I didn’t do on the last one we installed).  There’s also going to be a gap (lag?) in my ability to pay my bills at the beginning of next month, based on when I start working and what I’ll have earned by the time I start getting paychecks.  I’m also not sure what the take-home pay will be exactly, after taxes.

I would like to get at least $5000.00 (that’s 5 thousand, not 500 thousand) – in case there are unexpected expenses on the water heater replacement, and to make sure I keep the lights on and so forth.
