Begging Money

Financial Hardship Help

Last Updated:

A Fresh Start

I recently fled from my toxic marriage to start new. With leaving my marriage, I had to leave my job to not be found. Bills are piling up, gas is expensive. I am living out of my vehicle, showering in gyms & eating the bare minimum to survive. I am thankful that my family is covering my phone bill so they can communicate with me, but staying with them is not an option. I fear that without financial help, I will not be able to start fresh in a new city, with a new job and that I will have to go back to my husband just to financially survive. Going back means more abuse, more stress and no control of my life.

 

I have always prided myself on being strong, but today, I feel weak. It pains me to beg for help, but this is where I am. Any and all help wont go unnoticed and when I am in solid ground, I will help someone who is just like me.

 

Thank you for your kindness.

Disabled female needs help while waiting for Total and Permanent Disability Insurance Payout

Hello, my name is Amey from Australia. This has taken me two weeks to have the courage to ask for help, I find it so hard to ask anyone for help.

I am a Single 44 year old female and was not born with the opportunity to be a mum and can not fall pregnant. I love kids and was born to be a mother so I have rescued dogs all my life and my current rescue dog is my companion and best friend.

I am an only child and don’t have any contact with my parents, they gave me a life of neglect, physical and mental trauma with invisible scars that still affect my ability to function and feel safe to this day.

I have Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Conversion Disorder which is my bodies response to the endless trauma I have had all my life – it affects me without any warning – I can become completely paralysed on my life side mimicking a stroke, loose all strength in my muscles and loose the ability to speak. I would not wish this upon anyone.  

I am On a Disability Pension, I receive funding from the National Disability Insurance Scheme in Australia where I receive therapy with a Clinical Trauma Psychologist, a Mental Health Occupational Therapist, a Psychosocial Recovery Coach and Carers to help me with my day to day life.

I don’t have many friends as I have trust/abandonment issues. My psychologist says I am a very empathetic person so I get taken advantage of very easily so I feel it’s safer for me to stick to myself. I also have a  long list of physical health issues and disabilities.

I didn’t realise I had been paying for Total and Permanent Disability Insurance until my my Psychiatrist asked  me to bring in my Annual Superannuation Statement to an appointment with him. We discovered I have been paying TPD Insurance  for 23 years so my Psychiatrist, Psychologist and Doctor all supported that I could never work again and found me a good lawyer with a no win no fee arrangement.

The claim has been ongoing for 13 months now and typically most claims are paid in 6 months. My Lawyer has advised me that my  super fund I pay my TPD insurance too have breached 17 of their regulations with my Claim and my lawyer will be suing them for damages/losses/trauma I have endured due to their negligence once my TPD Claim has been paid.

I have been living off my superannuation funds for the past 8 years and have now depleted  all available funds that have kept me afloat until now.

I am unable to get a loan for the amount of money I require as I am on a low income Dr disability pension. I am so close to loosing my home I have rented for the past 7 years, can not pay for the medical specialists I need to see or any of my basic living expenses and bills merely to survive.

My TPD Claim is expected to be paid in 3 months, until then I have 25% of the money I need to keep me afloat from my disability pension. I don’t want your pity, I want you to know I’m a fighter and I never give up though life has been a constant war for me and I’ve climbed millions of mountains to fight for my survival.

I have attached a  letter from my Lawyer and my Clinical Trauma Psychologist to confirm my need for immediate financial help is  bonafide. When my Claim is approved, as I am an extremely grateful person despite my suffering and I am an extremely empathetic individual. I feel a great sense of purpose in helping others truly in need whenever I can, so you can be assured your donation of help – I will pay it forward to others in need as I am right now.

If you have read this far, I appreciate your time and consideration as to wether you would like to help me. I have bared my soul and shared my story with you in as brief yet informed way as I possibly could.

This has been so difficult for me to do, though I have at least conquered my fear and put myself out there seeking the help I truly need to survive the next 3 months and for you to decide what you will do next.

I am truly grateful for any donation you may have the capacity to give. My goal/need is large and I know it is a very tall ask and order to be able to achieve this. So you are clear, it is 10,000 to cover me for the next 3 months until my Claim is paid.

If you would like to help, please make your donation to my PayPal PayPal.me link https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/disabledhopefulAUS?v=1&utm_source=unp&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=RT000269&utm_unptid=76451ce8-33ea-11ed-a274-3cfdfeef729c&ppid=RT000269&cnac=AU&rsta=en_AU%28en-AU%29&cust=QGHR8ML54UTTA&unptid=76451ce8-33ea-11ed-a274-3cfdfeef729c&calc=f387359a64206&unp_tpcid=ppme-social-user-profile-created&page=main%3Aemail%3ART000269&pgrp=main%3Aemail&e=cl&mchn=em&s=ci&mail=sys&appVersion=1.112.0&xt=104038%2C127631

With Kindness, I thank you. Amey 🙏🏻

Disability blues

Hello, my name is Ariel, I’m a 31 year old mother to 3 children. 1 year ago on August 10 2021 I was diagnosed with Multiple sclerosis.

I went to the hospital an exact month after my son was born due to numbness and tingling overtaking my entire body, I stayed in the hospital for a total of 6 days while they administered steroids intravenously. While in the hospital my ability to walk unassisted was compromised and over the month or so following I had to fight to be able to walk around without my walker, I even fell holding my son in the first week I was home and Despite him being unharmed was devastated. I had to fight to regain use of my hands, legs, brain, and mostly, I had to fight myself mentally to stay positive and push through.

That is the backstory leading to where we are now. From August of 2021 to July 2022 I had 3 flare ups that brought me back down to my knees fighting my own body to be able to walk, to be able to clean, cook and to be a good mom. After the Third my neurologist told me I needed to quit working and apply for disability which I have now done. I had been working part time and had just become profitable starting my own home delivery food service which I had wanted to turn into a food truck then later a restaurant (I deeply wish that were what I was asking for help with) and I had to let it all go for the sake of my health so I could be around for my family. I’m ok with that dream dying,  I’m ok with my diagnosis, I’m ok with having to adjust and change my plans, I’ve come to terms with all of it and have a strong resolve to be positive no matter what life throws at me.

The reason I am here asking for your help is because, disability at a minimum takes 18 months to receive and that’s if you’re approved the first time. My family went from a two paycheck household to one and we are struggling, between two car payments, rent, credit card debt, as well as feeding our children, paying for utilities, gas, insurance, and other necessities.
I implore you to help us get by while we navigate this new normal and search for ways to make everything work.
Once upon a time I dreamed of starting my own cooking business, of finally buying a home and of financial security and now I dream of  being around for my kids and capable for as long as possible I dream of being able to go the store and not have to worry about how much the food that I need to buy to feed my family is coating and what bill it will take away from, I dream of not having maxed out credit cards dragging down the credit I had finally built up, I dream of being able to go out and work  to provide for my family all the while knowing that I can’t. It’s terrifying, frustrating and heartbreaking at times but I always try to find a reason to stay positive.

I apologize that this is so long and pray it all makes sense, I have issues with cognitive thinking and think/hope I said this all correctly. I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to read my story and for considering helping me out, and for helping out others on this site.

 

Thank you, Ariel

College Student Trying to Get Life Back On Track

Hello everyone, my name is Jose and I’m a recently graduated college student living in Miami, FL. As of writing this post, I am at difficult point in my life. I recently finished my undergraduate career, but I’m now strapped for cash (well my dad is, technically, since he paid my entire 4-year tuition). The thing is that since I live with my dad and we are both currently unemployed, we’re living in a situation of financial uncertainty. It’s been emotionally rough these past few years as my mom passed away in 2017 (during my second year of college during which I had to take a year off and I lost all the money I had paid for that semester since the period to appeal for tuition reimbursement had expired).

I’m on here asking if anybody at all could help my dad and I out. I think things will eventually get better for us, but some extra cash would really give us some relief for the time being.

Thank you very much for your understanding!

Help Jon Pyles (Prostate Cancer) pay his Medical and Personal Bills

Hi my name is Jonathan Pyles, I just turned 60 and I live with my wife Jen, and her 96 year old grandmother in Beavercreek Township, Ohio. We are 2 months behind on rent about to lose the house we love, and I’m feeling desperate & despondent….please help me out of this situation I’m in…

I was diagnosed with prostate cancer and went through 25 treatments of proton therapy at University of Cincinnati Health (which I had no side effects), then followed up with a one time brachia-therapy (they placed 56 radioactive seeds on my prostate and surrounding areas to keep it from spreading). Big time side effects from this procedure! The daily fatigue/illness has really set me back…

I’m a self employed restaurant management recruiter, the business is slowly making a comeback since the pandemic, but unfortunately I’ve fallen behind on my bills and I need your help getting back on my feet again…

I hope to raise $5000 for rent (2 months at 1650 per month), and the remainder for the rest of my bills (health insurance/CareSource electric bill, auto insurance etc…) and an additional $5000 for my medical bills (I owe $3891 to the Kettering Health Network and $1802.60 to UCHealth)

I can provide documents to you that will verify my bills (copy of my lease, my personal/ medical bills etc…) as well as my Prostrate Cancer diagnosis and the treatments I went through at UC Health…

Please, it is urgent….whatever you can offer to help…thank you for your time and consideration for reading this.

Help My Family!

Hi, my name is Sadie, and I’m not quite sure how to start this off. I’m a mother of 3 awesome kids, and a wife to a fantastic man. Our lives have been completely upended over the last 10-11 months.

I suppose the best place to start would be September of 2021. After living with my in laws for 8 years in the same home (I helped take care of my MIL while working from home), our landlord decided to take advantage of the housing market in our area and sell the home. We had 30 days to find somewhere to go, and the rentals in our area are outrageously priced, easily $1,800 plus for a shoe box. With having very little notice, my husband just starting out with DoorDashing at the time (he has two ruptured discs in his back, as well as bilateral abdominal surgery in May ’21 that recurred, so waiting on another surgery for that), we did not have money to move, and we did not have a down payment to buy. So as of now, we have moved in with my mother, but it is very cramped and not an ideal situation.

Then, on Valentine’s Day of this year, my husbands grandfather passed away from colon cancer, leaving the care of his wife and home, finances, etc. to my mother in law, who is in poor health herself. Less than a month later, her sister, husbands aunt, was murdered, 3/6/21, and on that very same day my father in law was diagnosed with stage 3A Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the lung. Since his diagnosis, he has had to start a very aggressive treatment, and has become unable to work. The biggest issue with that is that I worked for him, I ran his (very small) construction company, and with him not working, that put me out of work as of late. With my three kids starting school, still attempting to keep my father in laws business afloat (while not getting paid), keeping up with weekly therapies for my children (one is in speech therapy, the other is in talk therapy), constant doctors appointments for my eldest (he has a congenital heart disease and is looking at a third open heart surgery), and all the other daily things life throws in along the way, it has been very hard for me to find a job that will work with me schedule wise.

I’m sorry for droning on, I’m not very good at stuff like this. Basically, we are at risk of losing everything right now. My husband and I have worked so so hard to get where we were before all the chaos started, we really just need a little help to keep us above water. My biggest worry is our car, we only have one at the moment, and we are going on three months behind on payments. We have tried to work with the financer, but they will not budge or help in any way. If we could just get less than 30 days behind (in total around $1,600) that would at least give us a little wiggle room to figure out the third month, and everything else as well.

Thank you to anyone taking the time to even read through this mess, it means so much that you are even here at all, whether you help me and my family or another in need! <3

See Jane Evolve

My intention is to live my very best most authentic life in unconditional love and in service for the greatest good of all.

Hi, my name is Jane – short for Janie but Jane works, my grandmother’s name was Jane. Anywho, I am 38 years old and live in the deep, deep south of the Georgia Pines.
My very first memory was when I was eight months old. I remember I was wearing a little footsie onesie, it was white with little purple flowers. I remember being in a room on the floor with a bottle and a blankie. I also remember there being one of those bouncy horse toys that you could sit on and bounce and bounce and bounce – I can still hear the springs squeeking from my brothers playing on it. I remember seeing through a slither of the door opening into the kitchen where my mom was with a man wearing white jeans and a white Tshirt – I know!  Super crazy details for an 8-month-old to recall, huh?  Somehow I do!
Story goes I went to live with new family at 8- months-old and they legally adopted me byway of a local newspaper ad which also somehow generated me a whole new birth certificate – yes, I have two certified birth certificates from two states, ha!
At the age of 17, I moved out of my deep southern back woods super religious parents house. My adoptive parents were much older and they transitioned to the higher realms a few years ago, they were my ONLY family. Well, I grew up with two older sisters, however, they’re now with mama and daddy too.
Married and divorced, twice. Two kids with first hubby plus one with the second. Boy, girl, boy – 21, 20, 15.  Eleven attempts to obtain a formal education.  Moved at least 40ish times.  All by the time I was 33.
Then in 2012, out of absolutely NO.WHERE. I had an intense and deeply profound spiritual awakening that set my life on the path of finding myself – my, my, my seemingly since it’s been the eleventh hour of life!
Kidding!
Sort of.
In and on my journey of self-discovery, I unavoidably met the big bad wolf in sheep’s clothing later accompanied the dark knight of the soul aka the most violent abusive and toxic boyfriend I ever had and my biological mother  – mirrors of my soul.
Needless to say, I didn’t see them coming nor I was ready for either of them!
We’ll skip all the painful gut wrenching details of my experience being in an abusive relationship – just know that experience was a big fat rotten lemon of life that no matter what I did or did not do, I could not make it into chocolate cake!  Damn thing, almost turned me bitter.
I choose better.
In any event, in my attempt to leave said experience and escape literal hell on earth I decided to reach out to my biological family – my mom & two bio brothers – to ask them for help. They all happily obliged and OMG I was too freaking excited to meet my mom and get to know her and this family I always knew was out there I just didn’t “know” them..
Mind you, being what I have always been told of my bio mom “giving me away” and all the yada yadas I heard through the years, to say the effect thereof was and is profound in my life would be an understatement as it literally has been one of the most important aspects of my development as a human being – especially the one of becoming and being a mother myself.
Let’s just say a “generational curse” if you will.
Anywho, so we make plans and my hopes of knowing the one woman I dreamed of my entire life were finally put into place and off I go. My bio brother picks me up from Satan’s (the narcissistic bf) house in Ga and I moved in with my bio mom in middle Florida.
I was completely mesmerized the very first time I saw her, the way she looked – a queen on a thrown, hair like Rapunzal, and for the first time in my life I saw my own DNA in another person! Side note, I’ve always wondered if DNA or the way we are raised – nature vs. nuture – which is more dominate and I am telling you that absolutely without doubt DNA is the winner!  I saw me at 60 years old and even moreso as the months passed of getting to know her and finding out we were so much alike in many ways on many levels – it was super weird at times given the fact we had never been with each other previously with the exception of those first 8 months.
At any rate, in skipping the devestating details of how the experience with my mom ended, things didn’t pan out in the way I had always dreamed them to and it has been and is very sadly disappointing. Long story short, she had gotten into some trouble I dunno something to do with drugs etc and she was arrested.  Leaving me once again.
In my mother’s words, I was just another woman she didn’t know. When really, she was me and I was her.
My very first memory was the first last day I ever lived with my biological mother. Btw, that man I remember wearing the white jeans she said his name is Mark and that they’re still friends today! Anywho, and the last last day I lived with her was only a few weeks ago. I will always desire to have known and know her more. I will forever love and miss her. I acknowledge and accept all unhealable wounds I carry of her. Whether she likes it or not – she was, is and will always be my mama.
Here and now, I am – alone, yet not alone.
I simply am.
Please understand and know that I do have desires and goals and a plan to fulfill my dreams – to love and to be loved, unconditionally.
I call out to my soul family, are you there?  Are you here?  I need and am requesting help and support in order to catapult this transition and evolution of my life into a place where I can attain nomadic stability and sustainable self-sufficiency that is in alignment with my life’s true purpose – to give life and life more abundantly.

Financially, I have been a dependent of my ex-husband, then Satan (the BF), and then my mom.  I have no food to eat.  No where to live.  No transportation.  No way of communicating (borrowing a device writing this).  Seemingly so low, I don’t know which way is up.  In spite of my current perceptions I am optimistic and I trust things will work out for me and that “this too shall pass” – the only sentence that always remains true.

I am so very grateful for you.
-jane

Emergency Funds for bills

Hi,

I cannot believe I am in a position to beg strangers for money:(

My husband and I are hardworking, and generous people who have found ourselves in a bad situation. We have 4 awesome kids and are finding it harder & harder to hide our money problems from them.

Due to illness, I had to temporarily quit my job. Since I was making more money than my husband, it proved to be a terrible choice. In the interim we were living off of our credit cards as my husband’s smaller monthly salary only covered the mortgage. We are so far underwater we can no longer climb our way out. We have fallen behind on everything, including house, Utilities, credit cards, loans and college parent plus loans. Our bank account (only bank account) is in the negative. We get about 4 bank fees a day at $30/pop so we get so buried when we finally get paid we are already broke again.

We are in our 50’s with 3 college kids and a disabled daughter. We also have 3 fur baby dogs counting on us.

We would be so grateful for any small donation. $4700 would put us back on track for payments. We are 29,000 in personal loan & cc debt.

Thank you so much for considering us. I cannot wait to be in a position to pay it forward.

Trying not to fall in a hole.

Help! I fired my boss for being a very unfair and uncaring person after working for him for 10 years, and being called his number one guy he just stopped wanting me around by his actions.

I was making good money, enough to live appropriately and not struggle. Never enough to save for a rainy day as I have had my share of rainy days and storms to completely erase anything I called savings.

My wife Darla worked with me as well and the issues that arose almost drove her MAD, enough so she wanted to punch somebody. and commit bodily harm. I on the other hand have more control, but was made to feel like I was not wanted around. I think he was trying to lessen his financial burden having to pay both of us and now he has young people in there working for less.

I felt compelled to leave my job after 10 years because the depression of being treated like a nobody after giving soo much. It hurts. I don’t want to start thinking about doing away with my life and just live in the streets and not care anymore but that’s not me. I am tired, my hands hurt all the time from the work I was doing. My eyesight is becoming worse but the VA is helping with my medical.

After working for 50 years, I just find it hard to get up in the morning mentally. My boss had a profit sharing bonus set up for us but he is blowing smoke in my trying to retrieve it, Being as much as $10K. I will receive this sometime in November.

I stopped working at the end of June and was told I would have it around the 8th of Aug, that came and went. I borrowed money from my brother which he really didn’t have it to lend he did anyway bless his heart. That kept me to pay my bills for August. I used my credit card to just buy food and gas and pay for cable and my car payment. I am in the hole $300 bucks as of today in the bank and my one credit card payment on a smaller one just went unpaid.

I only need enough to carry me over till I get my SSI in December and I will be able to catch up when I finally get my retirement money from work.

Having said all that, I am trying to keep my self sane as well trying to relieve my depression going out taking walks and playing a little disc golf. It helps relieve the strain on my brain from thinking about crash and burning my life. It was my fault but I just couldn’t keep going. I have been trying to find ways to make extra money only the opportunities for OLD people is not there.

 

If you are out there and have money burning a hole in your pocket, just inching to help someone out, I could really use the help. Small amount will help and I am not asking for myself, its for my wife, my cats. Keeping them safe is starting to scare me to death.

Please help

Hello to everyone out there. My name is Jennifer(Jen). I am writing today because I have had a very rough couple of years. I was involved in a pedestrian vehicle accident. I was the pedestrian, the car that hit me was stolen, so the owners insurance won’t cover it and I only have basic liability insurance. I can not do my regular job anymore, which was a residential and commercial painter since 2001. I am in the process of trying to change my career. I am taking a government funded course to upgrade my computer skills and job readiness and job search skills. I am on government assistance or welfare. I am asking for help to purchase this laptop so I can be job ready.

Please help

Hello,

I’m drowning right now and I am seeking help of any kind.

I am currently homeless and 6 months pregnant. I also have a 7year old but his father is amazing and is very active in his life so he’s with his dad until I have a stable living situation.

My parents both died back in 2020, my ex (the father of my child on the way) left me for my “best friend” the day we found out I was pregnant and neither of them have talked to me since. I have no one and I just don’t know what to do. I have absolutely nothing for a baby, I don’t have anywhere to take a baby, I don’t even have a car to live out of. I have no clothes that fit me. I have 2 pairs of leggings and both have very noticeable holes in multiple spots on them. I wear the same 2 t-shirts constantly because I have nothing else. I don’t even have a pair of shoes, I have slippers and a pair of black socks so I’m normally walking around barefoot. I’m 100% willing to work and I am actively seeking employment, I’m just having a hard time finding an employer willing to give me a job being this far in to a pregnancy. They I have 10 years of experience as a medical assistant, working in just about every type of specialty clinic you can think of. I was the lead ma for a multi-provider family practice most recently, however I quit when my mom was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer in 2018. I was her primary caregiver until she passed in 2020, and then my dad passed away 4 weeks later. I didn’t handle either of their passing very well at all.  A week later COVID hit and the whole country was told to quarantine.  I didn’t leave the house for almost 9 months. My car got repossessed and I couldn’t afford to get it back so I lost it. Destroyed my credit in the process. Things have just continued in a downward spiral since. I do receive food stamps, I’ve applied for housing but the wait list is so long in every county in Colorado and there’s no guarantee I’ll even be selected. It’s a lottery type system so I have to just wait and pray my name is drawn when a unit becomes available. I applied for financial assistance through the state but I was denied because I missed the phone interview due to my phone being broken. I don’t have any money to get a replacement phone and they won’t communicate with me via email. I never know who I’m going to be around at any given time so its hard to use someone else’s phone number so I can’t reapply for that until I can get my phone situation figured out. The government pays my phone bill already through that EBB/Lifeline program however they won’t send me a new phone. I’ve tried everything I can think of, I’ve applied for loans and credit cards, I’ve made embarrassing posts on social media asking for help and now I’m here. I truly need help and I have literally no one to turn to. I wasn’t even able to help with my son’s school supplies, I wasn’t able to get him a birthday gift or a Christmas gift and that has got to be the worst feeling I have ever experienced in my life. His dads side of the family spoils the heck out of him and then my side of the family is just me, the mom who’s homeless who can’t even get her kid school supplies or school clothes. I’m lost and I don’t know what else to do. Literally anything helps and will be greatly appreciated.

I’m trying to do better for myself

Hello. I’m going to get straight to the point and I’ll save the theatrics and sob stories for a movie that I will act in one day. When I was young (18-25) I made a lot of poor decisions regarding my future and my finances. I messed up a lot of things for myself that I never even thought I would ever want. Well now I’m 30 and I have made tremendous efforts to change the quality of my life. I am a single mother of 3 and one of my children is going to college next year, while I’m very happy to see my son be able to surpass my achievements and go after all the things he wants in life, I also see this as another opportunity to increase my earning potential and eventually build myself a somewhat good life. I have been trying to transition from low paying labor jobs like janitorial and hospitality services. I have recently discovered a new set of skills that I possess and I would like to put them to the test in the workforce. However, the state of Florida has this agency called AHCA and those poor choices I mentioned earlier have landed me in a severe disadvantage to be selected for hire in the job categories I want to pursue. I have civil judgements on 4 court cases dating from 2007-2014 and the agency has requested that I pay off these balances before I can be considered for clearance. I have done literally everything else there is for me to do. I presented every document, I answered everything truthfully. I have done everything. The only thing standing between me and a position that I can potentially earn $15.00/hr. is paying off my civil judgments. I need to raise $2000.00 to pay this. It’s a one time payment, this is a good investment because once I pay this, it unlocks countless opportunities for me as a woman in the workforce. Though spending this amount of money on old court fees isn’t feasible at the time, I am hoping that someone will recognize the detriment of this obstacle  and be willing to contribute to this cause. This is definitely a way to “help someone to help herself ”. I wouldn’t normally beg or ask for charity because, being completely honest, it’s embarrassing, sometimes degrading and people rarely oblige. But this is worth it. I will beg for this. I prayed and asked God to help me unlock my creativity and give me the wisdom and fortitude to create a solution. I believe that the fees will get paid. Once I am cleared by AHCA, I will be more of an asset to my family than I ever have before and if I can’t take care of my family and support my children during their early adulthood, then, really…what good am I? I have programmed my mind to be a mom for the rest of my life and being a mom means making decisions that impact us positively as a whole. I just want to be a wise mama bear for my babies. I also want to feel proud of myself. I deserve it.
