Hello, my name is Lamar and I am the father of three awesome children and a wonderful wife.  We initially moved to the Houston area last January so we could be closer to Texas Children’s Hospital for our nine year old daughter Makaila.  She suffers from a rare heart condition called Ebstein’s Anomaly and another condition called SVT “Super Ventricular Tachycardia”.  I secured a great paying job and things were going well up until 2/21 of this year when I lost my job.  I have had several great interviews over the last few months, but no bites.  We had monies put away for a rainy day as well, but only enough to cover a couple of months rent plus utilities.  As of today we are owe the months of May and June and July is coming on quick.  If we are evicted we will be unable to obtain housing anywhere else due to this mark on our credit.  I am a very proud person and it pains me to be asking for any form of assistance for my family, but we are out of ideas.  We applied for state benefits earlier this week and approved for food benefits, but no financial assistance.  This is the first time we have ever requested any form of financial assistance.  Our rent is $2125 a month, yes Houston is not a cheap place to live for a family of five.  Anything to help would be much appreciated.  I have inserted a link below of a video of Makaila and our family that Make a Wish put together to help raise monies for other families.  I know a job will come along eventually.  I appreciate your time reading this and hope you and yours are well.  If you ave any questions please do not hesitate to ask.

Help amount: $6500

Hi, I’m a college student and warehouse worker struggling to get on top of my bills. In September, I had to have surgery following a workplace injury. Upon return to work in Novemer, my paychecks were docked to $100 a week. My rent is $1,034/month. I survived off disability savings and help from family members. I fought with them for a few months on it until I (foolishly) got tired of it and quit my job. I got a new one in April, but I’m only paid twice a month, and the waiting period for my first paychecks to go through took forever. In May, I struggled to pay rent and was taken to court over late payments. Because I spent all my paychecks paying legal fees and two separate late fees, I’m going through the same process all over again with June’s rent. I was paid on June 13, but the whole paycheck went to May’s rent, late fees, and court fees. My next paycheck will be on the 27th. In order to avoid eviction, I need to pay $1,640 by June 20th. I’ve tried to get a loan or some extra help because after this, I’ll be caught up but I keep getting rejected because I’m young (just 22) and don’t have good credit. Attached is a screenshot of what I owe from my property manager’s website. I would include the eviction notice as well if I wasn’t working right now. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, my name is Angie and in December 2018 is really when my life took a nose dive. I am on disability due to migraines to which I have numerous triggers. Disability doesn’t pay very well and I was working a part-time receptionist job until I was wrongfully terminated. I also got a notice at that time about the Dept. of Education going to garnish my wages over student loans that I thought were discharged (they are now). My vehicle broke and I didn’t have the money to fix it so I let it go back thinking it would help not having a car note to pay. One month my bank decided to pay everything but my rent thus it was returned and they tacked on a returned fee, a $100 late fee and the bank also hit me with an insufficient funds fee. It got really cold and my furnace was running constantly but the thermostat wasn’t getting above 66 degrees. I called for maintenance and two gentlemen came to the house and changed the thermostat on the wall and never looked at the furnace. I went down under the house and figured out that the maintenance guy who dewinterized the house never changed the filter because the brand new one was still sitting on top of the furnace. I still ended up with a $700 gas bill. Meanwhile I’m getting farther and farther behind. The leasing office wouldn’t return my emails or calls when I asked them to send me a copy of my account so I could maybe try to get some assistance. By the time they did they also filed it with the court for eviction. The trustee won’t help if it’s already in court and I’ve called every church and community center in the city with no luck. I have to have $2250 paid by Thursday at 6pm or be moved out by then. I don’t have a vehicle or anywhere to go. If I can just get through this without losing my home I’ll find a roommate and another part-time job but I am desperate and all I do is cry and pray. Please if you could find it in your heart, anything would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Hi, my name is Alexis Vilay and I’m from Seattle, WA, currently living in Renton, WA. I don’t even know where to start honestly. I can list out what I have in debt but it’s just too easy that way. It’s also so easy to tell myself that I did this to myself and I don’t deserve any help. I don’t want to think that way because I’m usually very optimistic and positive minded. I hate asking for help but it has come to the point where I have nothing and no one.

I want to first mention that I am pregnant, first pregnancy, and with twin girls. This was a surprise of course but at this point, May 9th 2019, I am about 27 weeks pregnant and will be due in 3 or less months now. What makes me bring this up is that I feel like I’m already disappointing my unborn daughters. I am definitely not prepared whatsoever. I only have blankets and maybe 4 or 5 matching pairs of outfits for them (which aren’t the outfits you want them to wear everyday and be comfortable and get messy in) and they’re not even newborn size… Probably only have less than 10 pairs of socks for them to share. What I don’t have is a lot that I need and could’ve had if I didn’t get myself into a financial mess… I don’t have diapers, bottles, bibs, towels or any type of baby bath products, milk formula (I will be breastfeeding I have WIC benefits but that will only help me out so much since formula goes by fast… and with twins….. I don’t even want to think about that right now). I don’t have car seats or a double stroller or even strollers at all. I don’t have any regular newborn sized clothes to put them in once it’s time to leave the hospital. I don’t have a crib but I’m not worried about that, they can have my mattress while I sleep on the floor or use a hand me down mattress or something from my parents if they even have one….. Whatever I know that I don’t have, I just think about how I can let them live with what I do have (personal items, not baby items) and go by with it. But it’s just embarrassing to me… I know I can get some stuff from the dollar store but I can’t even afford a $20 trip to the dollar store….

I’m also incredibly in so much debt….. I don’t know if it’s easier to list them out or type out the whole story. I don’t have a problem with writing so I don’t mind either way. This is where I really don’t know where to start because there is so much….

Also wanted to mention that I left my job due to the chemical smell that I constantly smelled everyday. I worked at an auto body shop so I can always smell metal or paint chemicals, and it’s always dusty from the labor guys sanding down panels or bondo. I knew I had to leave but now I just help my mother at her small business where she is a tailor/seamstress. I really am not expecting her to pay me as much as she does. She’s going through a lot, herself, and I feel so bad that she is spending as much as she does on me to help me pay rent and buy clothes thatll fit me since I’m just getting bigger and bigger. I don’t want to end up telling her side of things because if I had extra money, I would just give some to her. Anyways. Now I’m just helping her at her work 2-3 days a week. Also just started my GED program where I go to my classes 3 days a week. I know that this GED will get me somewhere and find me a better job eventually. That is the mindset and goal I have right now but it’s also being interfered with.

Unfortunately and inconveniently, my partner and father of the twins also quit his job because of personal choices. Hes not really the best in keeping a job. I dont want to make this about complaining about him because i can do that all day. Anyways he got a new job as a temp and im not loving it. He gets paid less than what he used to make and he gets paid every week rather than every 2 weeks so, to me, is like they’re taking more taxes out of his paychecks since it’s more often now.

First of all I used to loan money from Moneytree. I don’t know if they add interest or late payment but I’m pretty sure I owe them more than I even think I do right now. About 2 months ago, I loaned 400, interest was 90 dollars so I owed them 490 at a certain date. Once that date came, I didn’t have the money due to quitting my job. So I let that amount overdraft from my checking account, which added $30 overdraft fee of course. Maybe a couple days later I loan another 200 from Moneytree because of how broke and hungry I am. Not cause I’m pregnant and had cravings, I was legit hungry. So I believe loaning 200 gave me $30 interest? So I owed 230… Then I check my checking account with my bank a day after or so and I noticed that the bank returned that 490 that I originally owed. They also returned the 230 from my checking to Moneytree …. So now I owe Moneytree 490 plus 230? I’m not sure if they charge me interest for nonpayment over time but just letting you know I haven’t went to Moneytree to pay anything back in about 2 months now. I feel like crap because this is the most debt I’ve been in. And I didn’t mean to but I did it to myself.

Now my bank account is -$170 because they charged me the $30 overdraft fee several times. I don’t even want to check how many times I’ve been charged that amount, I just know that once I saw that it charged me more than 4 times, I signed out of the bank app.

For the last 3 months, since the last week that I worked at the autobody shop, I’ve been doing half payments for rent. My rent per month is $1050 for a 1 bedroom. Which is not bad actually its one of the cheapest options in the area. Also this apartment only accepts low income. The fact that i cant even pay that amount (my partner and I) is terrible. The fact that i have to do half and half payments per month is terrible.

This month of May, I get notified by my apartment that if I don’t pay the full amount in full in 3 days (Monday the 13th), I would get an eviction notice. This is my first apartment ever and now I’m going to get evicted…. I owe the apartment $1000. My mom tried to help me pay rent but they didn’t want to accept her payment for half. They want a full amount of 1000 by Monday so I am just stuck.

Yesterday my electricity went out, when I got back home from school. I paid it with my credit card so it’s okay now. Not really because I still owe the electricity company some money too..

Except that I haven’t paid my credit card company anything at all for the past month so adding on the $100 that I paid for the electricity, I’m going to have credit issues later on, knowing that I can’t pay that off soon, not even slowly.

Not to mention my internet bill is overdue by 2 months. I’m just not going to pay it this month. It’s not important so I’ll just worry about that later, I guess.

Anyways, we’re also supposed to move out of these apartments and move into this other apartment we got approved for… Pro is that we would be getting help with rent from either my mother, or uncle on mother’s side, if we do bunk with him at the new place. Con is that the cost is way more so we are hoping that they do help and that the move will be good, rather than make our situation worst. What is stressing me out about it is that we have to pay the security deposit/move in fees which is adding up to what we already owe the apartments we live in now….

Please skip to the end of my request for my paypal link

Please excuse this list of what exactly I need donations for… This is for me to calculate exactly what I need to pay off.

-May Rent: $1000

-Apartment move in: $2850

-Electricity: $153.98

-Internet: $214.16

-Credit card: $426.51

-Checking account overdraft: $173.90

-Moneytree: approx $720

I need around $5,538.55 because, although I put myself in this situation, my unborn children don’t deserve this. They definitely didn’t ask for it. That amount is just enough or maybe almost enough to pay off what I need to pay off in order to get back to square one again. I’m usually the one with big goals and always imagined myself having the perfect job to even help my hard-working mom retire, but I’m the one asking her for help. I just can’t do this anymore and the fact that I need to pay at least rent before Monday the 13th makes matters even more stressful for me. I’m more stuck than a shoe stepping on gum on a pavement. More stuck than glue right now. Any type of help works and is very much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I recently had a major medical emergency and have been behind on bills. I was not able to make my rent payment and am currently at risk of being evicted. I don’t have anywhere else to go and am in desperate need of quick funds in order to be able to pay rent. I have been extremely busy with school and work that I just haven’t had the time to think about this ahead of time. I work two jobs, one as a tutor for bilingual students and my second job as a bartender at a bar where I am constantly harassed but at least I make tips. Unfortunately even with these two jobs I just haven’t been able to meet my rent payment. I was recently hospitalized after I was hit by a drunk driver and that caused my savings account and budgeting to plummet. I have tried everything to save money and have even tried selling clothes and belongings but with the amount of bills that I have, nothing seems to be helping. I am also a full time student so it is hard to pick up extra shifts to make things work. I have tried just about everything and I am at my wits end. My financial stability has been on my mind so much that it has affected my mental health and has caused me to fall into a deep depression. There are days when I cant even get out of bed but I have to force myself otherwise I wont get paid. I have put my schoolwork to the side and have not been interacting with any of my friends. I have tried to ask for help but there doesn’t seem to be anyone in my life who is able to help me because they are all struggling financially as well. My dad recently got laid off from his job so I cant ask him for help and my mom is working just to keep her and my dad above water. I have no siblings and my friends are all struggling college students as well. I have exhausted every option but between all of my expenses, nothing seems viable. Please help in any way you can so that I can pay my rent and continue to go to school, I’m a pre-med by the way. Here is my paypal link.

Hi, I am writing because I am in dying need of assistance. I am located in ocean springs, MS and I have been going through trying times. I have totaled my car a few months ago and have been without a car for exactly nine months. I would catch a ride with a coworker every morning or i would sometimes Uber to work. I have no family here besides my little cousin that I had taken in because he was going through some hard times and I took him in, made sure he had a safe place to lay his head and push him to stay in school. Which now he is about to graduate from high school this month and will be going to college on a scholarship. It has been hard trying to get around without a car but I managed. I recently just lost my job working as a teller and I was so devastated but i also expected that because the energy at my workplace was very negative. My branch manager picked with me a lot. Nothing I did was ever good enough. I felt like i was walking on needles every time I came in to work. I would always pray before I went to work because it was draining me and bringing me into a state of depression. I just felt like the little black girl that didn’t belong there.so I was definitely Hurt and also worried about how I will manage to pay the bills. I am now on the verge of being evicted out of my apartment with no where to go. I’ve never imagined going through anything like this. I wouldn’t wish this feeling on anyone. Some days I worry about running out of the little food I do have left in my cabinets. We have been eating oatmeal for several weeks now. I try my hardest to do right by people and it just seems like nothing is going well for me. Even through all the things that I am going through, I still remain positive. I have been looking for jobs but have not been getting any calls or emails and it is really making me feel down and depressed. I’ve even went in person to talk to managers just to not get any feed back. It just seems like when I take ten steps forward I get knocked back down ten. I have nowhere to turn to, I am scared but I know where there is a will, there is a way. I have faith that things will get better in due time. I would really appreciate any donation, anything helps. Please and thank you

My name is Stephanie Jackson, I’m married with 4 kids, we have a 10, 5, 4, 2 yr old. last year was a tough yr for my family and I, my husband lost his job and then 2 weeks later we found out his brother had passed away. My husband went down hill from there. it took me 5 months to pull him out of the dark hole he had fallen in. after that he started to look for work but nobody would work with him where we had one car and our daughter needed to be to school in the morning and we didn’t have the money to drive back an fourth to salt lake which was 30 mins away from us our rent was due so we got a title loan  out on our car we had no choice either loose our place to live or loose our car. we lost our  car. My husband then got a job his mom drove 3 hrs and dropped her car off for us to use and he found someone who would work with us. well that didn’t turn out to swell cause they stiffed us on his last paycheck. we thought everything was going good but we were wrong. to be honest with you we don’t know why but they just stopped calling him to go to work. Trenton had then found another job but it was to late our landlord wanted us out of there. we tried to talk to her but she said nope not doing it. We had to be out of our home i do believe it was April 8th 2019 we are now homeless and have no where to go Trent’s boss has been working really good with us an let him take a few weeks off so we can figure out where we can go. I feel like we are stuck between a rock and a hard wall cause in order to get money Trent needs to work but in order for him to go to work we have no where to go while he goes to work. I know this is a lot of money to ask of someone you don’t know but i feel like we have no other options the worse thing that can happen is no. Its going to cost us $8000.00 to get us into a place i know it sounds crazy but I’ve been looking at places to rent and i cant find anything under $1500.00 an they are asking for 1st and last months rent and a deposit which comes out to be $4500.00 just to get into a place but before you get into a place you have to put in an application which is anywhere from $20-$40 for just the application per adult and still after that you don’t even no if your going to get the place until the application has gone threw and if it don’t then your out $40-$80 still. Also my mother in law is wanting her car back and I had been approved for a loan to get a car but they said i need $3000.00 for a down payment. I understand that’s a lot of money to ask of someone who you have never met. but i promise you if you can do this one thing for my family and I, it might take us awhile to pay it back but i can promise you this we will do everything in our power to do so. and if you do this for my family an I it would truly save us before something else bad that may happen like loose each other because we have to where to go and my kids cant live out of a tent. my kids are everything to us and loosing them isn’t and option for us. Even if that means we swallowing our pride and asking a stranger for help. so please if you could we would be so thankful. even if you cant do the hole $8000.00 anything will

I am asking for help right now because I’m about to lose my home I’ve gone to every place in my town to ask for help, wait i  long lines only to get to the front and be turned away. 

My husband works and works hard ,we were fine until the owner was killed and his daughter and son took over. They  recently found out the daughter had been and still is stealing  from the company, tried to sell it without the permission of her brother now that’s put it into probate court as she won’t accept the settlement and took it to court. My husband had a base pay with commission and bonuses now he only gets his base pay and that has thrown us into a tailspin with our bills. We pay them something every month so they know we are trying . I make and sell items such as home decor and jewelry out of our home, it helps but it has slowed down considerably. 

Now my truck needs right front end redone, it makes a horrible metal on metal sound. And has to go to shop to be fixed. There just isn’t enough to pay everyone, pay everything ,and still put food in our home and fix my truck too. I’ve found another job however i can’t start it until the truck is fixed, it’s 45 minutes away  from my home. 

I’ve asked my family for help but we lost my mother two years ago on September 1, 2016 and my dad is still paying on accounts from when she was alive. I’m extremely stressed and worried that i won’t find help and we will be in the street neither of us have anywhere to go, my dad hasn’t got the room and will probably be moving south soon, then I’ll be back to square one. 

I know you all hear the same stories over and over, and that everyone is trying to convince you to help them. I’d say that’s not what I’m trying to do but that would be a lie, i really do need help in a hurry. I hope that you can help me and fast as i am running out of time. Thank you all for taking the time to read this and possibly considering helping me. 

Hello,
And thank you for even taking the time to read my post. I want you to know, this is the first and only time I have ever done anything like this. I NEVER EVER ask anyone for help. This is very hard for me to do and discuss. I am a woman in her early fifties, divorced. My elderly parents live on a fixed income and do what they can to put even help put some food on my table. (I only eat once a day so that I can keep cost down). I work for my money and have never looked for and expect handouts.

I started working at the age of 11, first job was babysitting. My career has been in the advertising industry of which I love, but a volatile industry to be in, especially the creative side. (my area of expertise). During my lifetime I have been laid off too many times to count, due to loss of large agency account, budget cuts and in the end, our declining economy during certain years. I have bounced back in the past, but this past year has been the exception.

The reasons, I can only surmise to be my age, the economy and the growing trend of not hiring full-time, so that companies/agencies do not have to offer benefits. They use either part timers, freelancers (which I have been for 12 years) and as of late, interns.

I was working a freelance/contract until they cut me in March of 2018. I did get unemployment, which did help, but put me far behind in all my bills and rent. I ran out of that in November and the bills/rent and lack of health insurance, I fell farther and farther behind. I did get a bit of work in December, but since January I have had NO INCOME at all. I pound the pavement looking for work, in my field, but at this point, I look for anything. But employers see a professional woman applying for jobs that pay minimum wage and won’t hire, because they know she will leave as soon as she finds something that pays more and is in her field.

I have some people that will help financially here and there, if they can, with a few bucks ($20) so that I can buy groceries. Also, I did my brothers website, for his new company he just launched.  He did give me what he could, but it is a start up. It helped with some food and a bill.

My back rent is up to $3100 and I am getting eviction notices. And May rent is coming up. That is another $1275, which will bring what is owed to $4375. I want to keep a roof over my head. That is most important to me.
My car payment is so behind, I think it is at the point it will be taken soon. I need it to get to jobs. I can get exacts but I do know it is behind over $2000.
Other bills that are way behind and are going to be shut off any day now, are: internet (bill is over $400 and will be shut off anytime now), which I need to find jobs, continue educating myself with software to stay current, to keep in touch with Former colleagues and those who can help me to find jobs. ie: LinkedIn. My cell phone (bill is over due about $200-300), which is the only way I can be contacted by phone, and is on my resume. My car insurance is $78 a month and comes out of my bank account automatically, but my bank account is now at (minus)-$111.40 with fees being applied with continued negative balance.
I don’t have health insurance and am on 3 medications I need to pay out of pocket. 2 of them are around $40 per month and the other is $150 per month. Going off them will cause a seizure. These medications are because of anxiety and depression, and as you can imagine, life has caused this. I am having major anxiety attacks and this is manifesting physical symptoms.(shaking, unable to concentrate, nausea..and so much more).
Besides the absolutes above, I owe doctors, who won’t see me now because I have an outstanding balances (one is $450)… I have major tax debt and leins!!! Some legal debt.

Again, this has been very hard for me to say to anyone (and I don’t) never mind put it here for strangers to read. It is embarrassing and I feel like a failure. So, if I were to put a dollar amount to it, $15,000 would catch me up with my rent and the bills (less tax, lawyers bills). I know this is a lot to ask.

I thank you for your consideration!

Hi,  my name is Monica and yes,  Im tired of being tired.  I’m a single Mother and not by choice,  their Father decided to choose drugs instead.   But I forgive him.  After we separated,  I continued to thrive and I was doing very well.   That is,  until four years ago when my life seemed to just spiral out of control.  To save space,  I’ll list some of it.   It started with my favorite cousin passing away in my arms on Thanksgiving eve,  my daughter passed away in my arms three weeks later and right next to the Christmas tree.   In the following year,  I lost nine family members and friends; not including two pets.  I was assaulted and had my teeth broken at the root.   Someone broke into my car at the park and stole my last two pets.   My son feel through a window and broke his teeth.  I was in a bad car accident,  now I have permanent spinal and internal problems. My Christmas presents were stolen on Christmas a year after my daughter and from a church.  We went homeless and it goes on and on.   I had a terrible event almost monthly for three years.  Now it’s getting better.   Thank God.   I’m tired of suffering.   We have a home,  I can see my children becoming happy again and it feels good.   But now,  I’m facing eviction.  I feel behind.   I think I’m still depressed.   I mean,  sometimes I feel numb and empty.   Is this the reason that I can’t snap out of this sand pit?  I don’t know,  but what I do know is that I can’t imagine the nightmare of going homeless.   I’ve been there and do not want to go back.  Since my teeth were broken,  I can’t afford dental care.   My mouth looks so gross right now.   So I will so pics.   I can’t believe I’m showing pics.    Please if anyone can assist me and bring me some beautiful light,  it will greatly appreciated.   Besides the financial help, if you know of any other ways to improve my future..   Please share..   I want a happy life again.   Just something to add.  I’m a really happy person,  sometimes I smile too much.   One day my face was hurting and when I looked in the mirror..  I was frowning.   Crazy,  I don’t want to get used to that.  If you need any other documents,  please I’ll send them asap.

My name is Devin and I am currently a student in the College Station, TX area. I have been ahead on all of my bills in the past but I recently had to put my car in the shop. I am needing 400 dollars to pay off all of my bills. This would not be a problem if my job as a delivery driver at Papa Johns did not require me to have my car. I need the money today or I will go into more debt than I am already in. I have tried selling my most expensive items including this computer but have had no luck reaching the amount I need. If I do not reach this amount by the end of the day I will be facing eviction. I am not one to usually beg, but I am at my lowest state when it comes to finances. All I need is a helping hand and I will be quick to return the favor. I have asked friends and family but everyone I know is dealing with struggles of their own. I am on my last leg and I desperately need this money today. I have lived in College Station on my own for almost 2 years now and this is the first time I have had to ask for any help, I am a hard worker and I have already gotten another job. The downfall of that is I do not get paid for another 2 weeks and I can not get evicted. I have a girlfriend and a cat to house and I really do not want to end up on the streets. The littlest amount can help and put me where I need to be to get back ahead in life. I am seriously begging for someone to save me from going into the hole because I have tried to do nothing but good and help everyone who needs it. Lastly, I need this money so I can continue my schooling without having to reside on the streets or with a friend on an uncomfortable couch. I will do anything for this money and will help back if needed. This is my last resort and I really hope someone out there hears me. I need to get back ahead and take control back over my life. I promise that I will return this favor and be a good person, I just really need a healing hand at this very moment. Thank you

Hello, my name is Stacy, I’m a hardworking mom, I have a 7 year old and one on the way and I am desperately trying to avoid eviction.

How it started:
My husband and I have been struggling all our lives, we finally saved up enough money to get out of our bad situation and rent a small apartment for us and our 7 year old. This year we had worked hard to plan out our future and were going to use our income tax to finally get ahead.

The day our tax check went into the bank my husband got in a car accident. Our insurance company immediately put in a claim when we called to be towed and towed it to the garage. It was our only car, so we had to get a rental. At the rental company we found out that our insurance made a mistake and neglected to include rental car insurance- an employee oversight- but refused to pay regardless and we were stuck with the bill.

In the meantime, the garage kept delaying, going back and forth with the insurance company all the while we had to pay out of pocket for the rental car just to get to work. It took month to repair the car and in the end the insurance company refused to pay a portion of the damage, claiming it was preexisting which it wasn’t. Another expense.

In desperation we bought a cheap car and have been driving it around so we wouldn’t have to keep paying for the rental which was $700 a week.
The car situation has finally been resolved but we have nothing left. I was running about two weeks behind on our expenses and in the past, we have been able to pay our rent a little late – with a small late fee- but it was do-able. I was going to do that once again when suddenly yesterday our apartment manager said out of the blue that policy changed, and eviction would go to court on the 18th.

We have desperately tried to gather up enough money by today, selling what we can, picking up small jobs and with our paychecks have managed to get most of the money, but we are $400 short.

Family wont help, we have never asked them for anything and have given when we had, but no one has anything to spare. I hate asking for money and help but I have no choice now, we are going to be evicted for $400.

The rent is due tomorrow before they sock us another $500 to go to court.
We are desperately trying to raise the $400 to cover the rent, if there is any help out there, we could surely use a miracle right now.

I’ve made a paypal link if anyone could help:

Greetings.

I love working with computers. It’s my passion. Someday I hope to have a gainful career in IT. My position could be something as simple as a workstation technician or as high-level as a Network Systems Manager. However, without any formal certifications or scholastic accreditations, I’m finding it difficult to find work even as a warehouse associate or grocery store clerk.

Ever since I took time off work in September of 2018 due to a back injury, things have not gone well at all. My employer at the time would not allow me to take a leave of absence since I had not been with the company for 6 months yet (which means I was not eligible for FMLA). They suggested I resign my position and then reapply when I was better. I did so in October when I was ready to return to work, but they would not rehire me and did not give a reason why. I ended up applying at 9 other locations with the company, receiving interviews at 3, and never hearing from any of them again. This is when I sent out applications to practically every employer in Chicago.

When I am honest on my application or in person about not being able to find work, most employers don’t seem to want to contact me back. I even had one tell me I was “overqualified” for the position, so she canceled my interview. Another simply said, “We don’t even have an IT department, so this may not be a good fit for you.” Even though I had made it clear I was applying for an order-filler position, explaining to her that my passion was in IT may have been a mistake. I just want to be honest with people, but that seems to be hurting me more than it is helping.

I have not been able to afford rent since November. This means I am now behind almost 6 months. The only reason I have not been forcibly removed yet is that the building recently changed ownership and the new property managers were required to start the eviction process over again. I have done my best to use this time wisely and have been working freelance IT jobs to cover my utilities, phone, and internet bills, but it has never been enough to cover rent.

Last week I discovered a program in Chicago through the National Able Network, Inc. that will utilize what’s known as the WIAO (Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act) which will cover all of my expenses to take a 16-week IT career lab in the heart of Chicago (ITCareerLab.org). 16 weeks certifies a participant for CCENT, CCNA, MCP, and MCSA, which is more than enough to start a strong career with. The program has a 93% completion rate with 96% of participants earning one or more certifications and 3/4 of unemployed participants finding careers during training or immediately after completion. The program assigns a career coach who helps with resumes, interviews, preparation, and anything else a prospective candidate can ask for… at absolutely NO COST to the participant. It is everything I could possibly ask for.

The course starts in April and will go until August. This means I will have to find part-time work before I start class and work as much as I can while I attend 20 hours of classes a week for 16 weeks. Until then, the apartment has me for $6,000. They will do everything they can to see that I am out as soon as possible. Since I am 41 years old and have no friends near me who can help, I am posting this plea in the hopes that someone out there can help me to stave off homelessness. I have had some great suggestions like finding lower rent housing and moving in with several others, but I have zero money to do this with and cannot do so while facing an eviction. That has to be taken care of before I can look for other housing.

I have a chance to do something for myself that will finally allow me to be a productive member of society in a way that will matter and in a field I love. Please help to make this a reality. I firmly believe in paying it forward and will happily help the next person who needs assistance when the time comes for me to be in a position to help others. It pains me to beg for help in a semi-anonymous fashion. But I do trust there are those out there who are as altruistic as I am.

Thank you.

I am in desperate need of some help with my rent.

I am a single mother of 2 gorgeous children a 12 year old girl and a 6 year old boy. I work 5-6 days a week often 10-12 hour shifts…

With my last check in December, since it included a little Christmas bonus I paid 3 months advance rent figuring taxes were right around the corner and with all the hours I work we would be able to get by… But life has decided to throw a few speed bumps into my life.

Last month I was informed my $470 monthly food stamps would be cut off,which also made my children ineligible for free school lunches. We were also informed that my place of employment has been bought out and will be closing down for remodeling within the next couple of months and they are not telling us if our jobs will be safe or if we will be able to collect unemployment when this happens.

To top this off one of my coworkers told me to check the hours on my paycheck only to find out I have not been receiving overtime for my 10-12 hour days because my company found a way to say any hours worked after midnight are a new day and do not count as a 12 hour shift..

I filed my taxes late jan and the irs accepted them jan 29th… I have yet to receive my refund the wheres my refund page said there was a delay then about a week later switched back to processing I called the IRS and was told mine was flagged for review and if I dont hear from them by the 1st to call back.

But now after having to pay cash for all our food and having to pay for school lunches. On top of already paying child care while im working bus money to get to and from work etc. I do not know how I am going to afford my rent I have about half of the $675 needed but do not know how I will have the rest in time.

I am doing the best I can with no financial support or help for either of my kids. I pay rent ahead when I can and work so many hours I hardly see my children.

I have never been in such a pinch. But between the food stamps being cut off and my taxes being so delayed its causing me to fall behind in all my bills. (I have been looking for a new job since we were told about the buyout, with no luck)
I am hanging my head in shame even having to ask for help but my children have to have a roof over their heads and food in their bellies (my daughter already had to go without a birthday feb 28th due to bills, she understands but it broke my heart? any help would be so much appreciated and we will be forever grateful as I said I already have half of what I need but every little bit helps and hopefully my taxes will arrive and I will be able to catch back up. Thank you for taking the time to read our story.

Hi my name is Jill and I have to leave my traveling job because of my mom new ailment . She has been diagnosed with Sarcoidosis of the lungs. Many people don’t know about this disease it’s small tumors that attacks the organs. So, now my mom has to have an oxygen tank at home and take steroids for her treatment since there is no cure. I did’t know oxygen cost so much.

I have not been to work since January 23, this is why i’m back in my rent. My apartment complex has new owners and when I explained my situation with them she gave an extra week to come up with the money. I tried loans and asked family members but no one wants to help. They said they can’t spear that kind of money.

So, I went back to the office and asked if they would accept $500 for now she said no. It has to be a full payment online because they don’t take payments in the office. I really miss my former property manager. They would have worked with me. On January 22, 2019 I received the eviction notice I cried so much. But had to stay strong for my mom. The eviction notice stated I had  10 days vacate or evict!

The office called me yesterday and said I need to have February rent $1315.00 by 12 pm earlier today and I still don’t have it. The new month is in and I don’t have March rent either which is $1090.00. They added the court fee with my rent also,

Please help me God knows I really need the help. May God Bless us all!!!

$2231.00 because I have $500.00 to put with it. If not mom and I will be evicted by weekend.

Hello all!

First, I would like to thank you for visiting my page and considering me for your charitable offer. Now, onto the storytelling…

I moved to Chicago from my hometown of Lafayette, IN in May 2018. Since then, I’ve been doing my best to enjoy the city and make new friends. It started off great, I was working at a restaurant as a hostess and making plans to attend one of Chicago’s awesome private universities. Financial hardship hit me at a point in August, so I picked up a second job. I was clocking 75+ hours a week, working overtime whenever possible. I was pulling in loads of money and dig myself out of a hole. In the midst of all this, I also met the sweetest boy ever and began dating him.

However, in October my new beau asked a seemingly harmless question, for me to co-sign a loan for him. He promised to make payments on time, and I trusted him, only to later find out I shouldn’t have. Instead of adding me as a co-signer he signed the loan IN MY NAME which then lead to them charging my account and unfortunately sending it into overdraft. From there it was a complex mess of things (losing one of my jobs, unable to pull my account out of the red, having to sell personal belongings) that lead me to where I am now.

I missed rent payment the month of January and February. My landlords are very sweet and understanding, but only to a point. They forgave the Jan. charges, so I am only responsible for Feb. I am also in legal battle with my EX-boyfriend. I’m not asking for help with that. I’m only asking to help pay the $1750 I owe in rent so that I can pay next month and breathe easy.

I came here because I am too financially sound to apply for any government aid, and my family cannot help at all.

Thank you for reading, and I hope to pay this back somehow to the world in some way. Blessings!

I Am going to be homeless. I had a good life, I’ve worked since the day I was 16 years old. I worked in fast food and always had money to provide for myself. I turned 18 and bought a car. I moved out into my own apartment and that is when it all started. I had a roommate and he made nice money. We lived in a two bedroom two bathroom for $800 a month. Life was great until he started doing drugs and I had to kick him out. Left me with all the bills by myself. I worked long hard hours and made it barely. I had another girl I went to high school with move in and she never paid her full amount of bills which led to me getting behind in payments . She ended up leaving and supposedly is supposed to pay rent monthly but never does. I am going to school full time during the week and I work at a nursing home for little pay. It is hard to take care of this apartment alone. I pay almost $2000 in bills a month…. Yesterday I received an eviction notice and I fell apart. I have no family members that can help me and my taxes I ended up owing and not getting anything back. I have to pay $1000 and I get paid Friday but only $700 maybe $800 if I don’t get the other $300 I will be homeless with no where to go! My life is falling apart. I moved into this apartment with help and now I’m doing it on my own and I’m struggling to go to college full time and still work enough hours to pay my bills. My parents don’t have room for me and I’m a mess. I’ve always been able to take care of myself and lately I can’t even pay rent . It’s scary, my car could be taken, i don’t  have a lot of food, and I could be homeless.

I am not the type of person to complain about my life or the things that have happened. I am generally very positive and I am a good person. I help people often and go out of my way for people. I have unfortunately been dealt a very bad hand of cards in the last year. 

I have been supporting myself since I was 16. I grew up with my dad who made little money. He did everything he could for me. He passed away very suddenly this year and has left me alone and devastated. I miss him every second. Shortly after my father passed, I got laid off my job. I have worked so hard to find a new one. I’m now waitressing at 2 places and working odd jobs but I still just can’t make ends meet. 

I am in a lot of debt. I have over $100,000 in student loan debt. In addition to that, I had to have an emergency back surgery in 2014 that I put on my credit card. I have about $10,000 in credit card bills still that I have been trying to pay off. I can’t even pay my rent right now and I am genuinely freaking out. I really really need help.

I am truly not one to beg for help or ask for money but I’m desperate. I’m working 7 days a week and I can’t catch up on my bills. I truly believe in karma and I’m just hoping someone helps me out when I need it most. I promise I will pay it forward when I am able. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story.

Hello,

My name is cody And I’m a 31-year-old male living in Texas. This is the first time in my life I’ve ever had to do something like this something where I have never thought that I’d have to do before I come out and ask somebody else that I Do you not know how to help me but I guess desperate times call for desperate measures. My financial she started a roughly about two years ago when I had made the decision to move to Texas from Oregon to continue the last two years of my education and graduate And I had made that journey with the person that I thought that I was going to marry. When we had left Oregon it was very exciting as we thought launched our new journey Into a world that we both did not know. It was then quickly after the things fell apart and financial bills started piling up I was working two jobs  my ex wasn’t able to find a job providing enough in order to help we quickly started a fight as things started to pile up and we lost our true happiness of what we once were. It was about six months later that I received a text message that my ex was leaving me for someone else moving away to LA to live with someone that he had found to make him happy.  It was at that moment that I thought my world falling down around me  as I was left here to take on everything myself. In that same week I received a phone call at about 330 in the morning that my mother had coded in her sleep and had to be revived later we had found out that she had three strokes and a brain Aneurysm they had to be surgically removed in which we were warned that she possibly could develop Alzheimer’s after the surgery. We have decided to go forward with it after the surgery my mother has no longer been herself living here so far away from my friends my family, and those who matter most to me I sat and watched my mom checked away. In the same two years my father has also developed stage four lung cancer in which he won’t tell anyone in the family how much longer because he doesn’t want to take the light off  our Mother. I have also been sued they may ask for money in which my ex felt that he was entitled to I have lost my job due to attendance from stress and crying randomly at work, my car has been repaired and I have last been left completely financially strapped. Just when I thought things were getting better and I finally got a job that was paying me well and doing well lo and behold as I was first starting to get back into normal stage again I get served with a large bill that my ex wanted more money. I have also been sued for money in which my ex felt that he was entitled to I have lost my job due to attendance from stress and crying randomly at work, my car has been reposessed and I have last been left completely financially strapped. Just when I thought things were getting better and I finally got a job that was paying me well and doing well lo and behold as I was first starting to get back into normal stage again I get served the large bill that my ex wanted more money And everything was taken once again. My sister has recently fallen off as well and my stepdad has gone out of control with his diabetes, And I’ve had to financially help my family as well which has dropped me. I have seen many counselors trying to gain Myself Happiness back again.

Has everything falls down around me I sit here writing this email begging anyone for help just this one time to help me with my rent so that I can stay afloat. There are many other things that occurred over the last two years they go very into detail I cannot sit here enough and thank whoever helps me more than anything in this world. Please I’m begging you!

I’ve always been the sturdy person who offers support and encouragement whenever needed in all aspects of living. Then I had my son. I continued to maintain that role and over time everything started to break. I continued to providing emotional and financial support to my siblings and their children. I let my family convince me that I was supposed to become self-sacrificial. I place everyone’s needs before my own. This lead to me over drafting on my checking accounts, and overspending during family functions in an effort to bring joy. I reasoned that the universe would find a way for my son and me as long as I kept everyone happy. The insane thing is that before my son, I did not reason this way. Even when I was being a rock for others, I did not lose sight of my priorities. The reason that I allowed it to happen after the birth of my son, I needed the help of my family. I needed my son to exist in peace. If I could keep our environment happy, then so would he. In addition to trying to maintain peace, I was full of pride. When I had my son I became more vulnerable and developed a lot of self-doubt. I could not let anyone see this, so I masked it with the sturdy as a rock mentality. This was a huge mistake because I allowed my loved ones to have great expectations of me. Now that I have started to share my truth, I am called a liar and a deceiver. In spite of the previous eviction that was filed on me, no one wants to believe that I am unable to be the person I started out as. It’s heartbreaking, and has caused a lot of stress.

I placed my real priorities; that is, to myself and to my son on the back burner. Now I’m facing homelessness. I have broken. After many weeks of crying, trying to figure out how and why, I came to the realization that I spread myself way too thin, and the result is failure. Even though I have accepted accountability for the way I have moved through life these past two years, it doesn’t hurt any less to know that I have let my son down and also myself.

I have started praying again and that helps with my spirit. I have also created a plan/budget for my finances. I would be able to implement this plan if I receive help with rent. I am currently facing an eviction. Helping me pay rent would allow me to reset my finances and maintain my budget. I am also talking to my minister, who is helping me to rediscover my confidence so that I do not end up in this situation again. I humbly ask for any help in obtaining $1207.17 for past due rent.

Humbly Yours,

Katrina Jones

My name is Danielle and I am a 35 year old Midwest loving women. I have been a able body hard working person all my life. I had my first child,a daughter in 2016 and named her Blessing.  I have worked very hard to provide for her and give her the best quality of life I can. I have had job after job in the last 2 years but finally thought I I the perfect one. It paid me weekly, and once hired I’d receive free health benefits. I was so happy I felt I’d finally found a position I could provide her a life. I went thru a temp service and worked my schedule shift with no absences, late calls, or write ups and in January, after 6 months was offered a permanent position. I was getting hired in. And in that same conversation seconds later my heart dropped and everything shattered. I was getting moved to 2nd shift 7pm to 7am. This might not seem like a huge deal but it was for me. I forget to tell you, I am a ward of the state. My own parents didn’t or couldn’t take care of me. So at 5 I was placed in foster care. With that being said going to 2nd shift working those hours I had no one to watch my daughter. I don’t have family and my foster family all recently moved to California just last summer. So I had to decline the positing and was let go a week later. I am now stuck with a eviction notice, utility bills, and no food for my daughter.  I have been to our local dhs office and can’t get assistance because I don’t have a job right now. But I am looking and will find one, but I won’t make enough money to cover all my bills. I have contacted the irs and ask for a expedited tax refund instead of waiting for the normal 21 days. Still haven’t received a decision. I just need help, assistance, and a blessing from anyone who can understand my situation. I have never been evicted or been so scared of losing my child, because i might have to go to a shelter. Asking for help is even hard for me to do because I have always been a independent person, a person that always figures out my problems. But today this day I am putting my pride aside, I am coming as a humble American and asking for help from you. Anything is everything.

I came from NOTHING, and grew a business to where my husband and children and of course myself, had EVERYTHING we could ever dream of. In 2016, we lost it ALL. Our business was shut down (a competitor undercut us and even though we tried to renegotiate with our clients, they decided to stay with the competitor). We lost our house, our cars, exhausted our 401k. We filed bankruptcy. We sold everything else that anyone was willing to buy. This floated us along during our job search. We both gained employment (finally!) and were just barely making ends meet, and ended up on food stamps, which somehow, for whatever reason, we no longer qualify for. My husband lost his job in October, and has not been able to find ANY work. It is embarrassing starting over at almost 50 years of age, and ageism in the job market is a REAL THING. Although my salary is $39k, after deductions, I only bring home $30k. We are three (3) month’s behind in our rent ($1,500/mo) and I am certain the eviction process has already begun, and our bills are also behind. We are in serious trouble. One of our dogs became so ill, we had to put it down because we couldn’t afford the vet – and we put her down the “old fashioned way”; something I wouldn’t wish on ANYONE to have to do. We also live on a farm; our animals are suffering. Trust me, we have tried to sell or re-home them, but without any luck. I have horses that need farrier work and feed. I have a mini horse that is pregnant. We live in a rural town in a small county, and the jobs are few and pay very VERY little. My husband was commuting 200 miles round-trip every day for his last job.  We don’t have any family, and our friends have pretty much abandoned us (you have to “pay to play”, as the saying goes…. fair-weather friends, I guess). Our house and water is heated by propane, which we have not been able to have filled for two months. I feel such an immense amount of pity for my children. I had to keep a child home from school because they had a field trip and I had to choose between $5 for the field trip, or $5 for gas to get to work. I don’t even want to go into what Christmas was like. It was pitiful.

I never thought it would come to me begging for money from strangers on the internet, yet here I am. I am praying that someone will have mercy on ALL OF US that are posting on this site. We need help DESPERATELY. We REALLY need a job for my husband that pays a living wage… but in the meantime, any financial assistance would truly be a blessing. I’m attaching a photo of our last bank account’s balance as of this morning. It is always going into the negative. I hate living like this.  Thank you for your consideration.

Don’t know where else to turn. Landlord says if we don’t have money by Friday it will be our last week here. Really just need like a $1,000 to turn things around for us and it would truly be life changing. Need money for dog food and money to fix our water heater. Been showering with cold water for over a month. Really embarrassed to be posting on here and hope nobody I know see this but I don’t know where else to go. Getting very desperate for food and trying to avoid this black abyss of emotions if we do get kicked out. I’m just sad. No matter how hard we work there’s always something to pay. There’s 3 of us and my 3 year old puppy who could really use any help given our way. Anything helps. Would really like to buy some nail clippers and trimmed for my dog. I’m feel so sad typing this out but can’t turn anywhere else. Tired of seeing my mom cry. I just wanna provide for here. We have electric, internet, water, rent, car payment, insurance, and general day to day needs we just can’t ever get ahead of. We feel like there’s no return. I’m putting this out there for some really kinda souls to hopefully see and change my life. It’s crazy how much $1,000 could really do for us. Would give us the ability to catch up on bills and stop having so much stress and afraid to wake up every day or seeing the 1st of the month is coming around the corner. If anyone is reading this thank you for taking your time to even read this. Anyone who can send anything you are a true saint and a thank you would never be enough. I’m 27 with a younger brother and a single mom. I never noticed how hard life would be without dad, emotionally and financially. Times are so tough right now and having another income has always put us behind even with everyone working it’s hard to maintain even a decently poor lifestyle. I’m over it and would just like to have even a slim chance of being ahead on a bill and seeing my mom happy which is the most important thing in this world to me right now. Anything helps us in our journey. I really appreciate you taking time to read this and if any money is sent I can’t thank you enough. Thank you. Take care.

So here is my story in a fast nutshell so to speak. Several years ago I developed some health issues, more than one mind you, that have become life threatening and I’ve always taken care of it. Recently things have developed once again and I have exhausted all my funds ie.. 401k, savings..you name it…it’s gone. Having recently lost my job and having no insurance it has become tough. And even when I did have insurance, it would only pay so much or I have to pay out-of-pocket. I have always been a guy that has been inspiring and positive to so many people that I have met and I’ve helped so many people in trying times…by taking them into my home, helping them with rent, or giving them the shirt off my back you name it! And anybody that knows me will tell you that.  I have always been well-rounded in being financially set and taking care of myself and all. I am a man of pride and I never would have thought a day would come that I would ask for help. I have no family to help but a few friends told me that I needed to reach out, so here I am swallowing my pride. I’ve always wanted to take care of my health and I’ve always put it first and now my rent is past due, my car recently died and I can keep going and going but I’m trying to stay positive through all of this. My stress keeps me up at night and can’t shut my mind off. I’ve reached out to bill collectors to let them know of my situation but that can only go so far. Hopefully I have made sense here, I’m just at my wit’s end and stressed because I have never been in this situation and you never think it’s going to happen to you. So there you have it and just trying to stay positive…

First of all, I don’t know how to explain what happened to me. I lost my job in December; I worked at a check cashing store. I was a shift supervisor. My duty was to verify checks were real and verified funds. I was terminated a few days after a check bounced back from the bank due to it being forged. Apparently I got scammed and the company had to take the money as a loss. I spent the whole month of December going to interviews back to back but nobody hired me. When the beginning of January came around I finally got hired by Whataburger. But it was the beginning of the month so rent was due, and I had nothing more than $100. I managed to get an extension of a week and when I got my first paycheck I only made around $60. I managed to stall the leasing office one more week but they finally told me I must move out by this upcoming Monday the 21st.

• I don’t really have furniture I just own my bed, clothes, shoes, toiletries, and kitchen ware. I’ve packed most of it in boxes and it’s all jammed up inside my car. I plan to strap my bed to the top of my car and I have no other choice than to live in my car.
• What I’m basically trying to say is that I never thought this could happen, I was earning a good salary in my previous job and not having that income anymore really impacted my life. I’ve been working every day but I’m making around $300. I’ve been looking for places to stay and the cheapest rent I’ve found was $550, and that’s not including the deposit fees and application fees.
• I really need help. I don’t know what I’m going to do living in my car. Your donations would help me have an extra income of money that I can save up to move into a new apartment while I work and look for a new, better paying job. I believe I can find a job that pays $12 an hour and can finally get back on my feet and have my life back to normal. It is greatly appreciated; the idea of having to sleep in my car parked somewhere, is very frightening. It’s something that I had never thought about. In the future I will make sure I save money here and there in order to have some type of backup because this situation is something I wouldn’t ever wish on anyone.

Never in a million years I thought I would have to go through this.  I have not slept in two days. I have prayed and prayed and God lead me here. Things started to go down hill for me several months ago. I was laid off from my job and My car broke down. 

The reason for this email. I am going to be evicted from my home today (Thursday) due to not being able to pay rent. In less than 8   I have attached the notice. My two daughters are completely unaware. I have been praying for a miracle. They have no clue we are going to be kicked out. I have been trying to figure this out before 9:00am tomorrow morning. 

I am a good person and a single mother who just fell on really bad times. I do not receive any help from government or my ex husband (who was physically and verbally abusive to me) I left him over 12 years ago. I have been trying to find work. I have applied to it seems like a million jobs. I have been on several  interviews. I have posted on Sites looking for work and have taken odd jobs, donated blood, went to the pawn shop to keep food on my home.  I have a job interview today which I’m praying I get. I am currently am driving a friends car. My engine blew on my car and it kept breaking down. It was a 2010 but it was paid off and  it got me where I needed to go.  I couldn’t afford to get if fixed and I lost my car due to not being able to pay the shop storage fees.  My friend is needing her car back which is putting me in a deeper hole. I will figure my car situation out later. I just need a roof over my girls head. 

I was scammed out of money(several thousand) therefore the reason of me being evicted.  I thought a so called friend said she  was helping me but she scammed me. That is another story. 

I can’t be evicted from my home soon. I have no family here in Charlotte and no where to go. My And my daughters are doing great here. I don’t want to end up in homeless shelter. I really need help. I don’t want to be evicted. I can’t eat and can’t sleep. My daughters are good girls and don’t deserve this.  I have always made sure they never wanted for anything growing up. And I have always maintained my bills and their well being. I’ve never had any assistance from the government, So this is devastating to me. My oldest daughter is a senior in high school. She has been accepted into College. Yesterday the money for her High School Cap and Gown was due and I couldn’t even pay for it. She has no clue yet cause her graduation is not until June. She is doing amazing in school. She is a honor student and making the honor roll. I can’t let her down. 

My bank account is overdrawn by $200. I barely have food. That still doesn’t bother me. I just want me and my girls to be able to stay in our home that is all I want. 

Please know I am not asking you to give me any money in my hand. However I am asking for your help. If you are able to help. A payment to the rental company Is what I am asking for. Directly to the rental company. You can contact them yourself if you don’t believe me. 

I’ll figure out the car situation later cause the bus doesn’t run on my side of town. Right now I just want a roof over my girls head. 

Please find it in your heart to help me. Please please help me. I have no where to go and no money. Im am praying for a miracle. No agencies or churches will help me due to the amount. Please please help me. It’s a really large amount. May God bless you.

Hello!

My name is Damian and I feel very uneasy writing this. This is the first time in my entire life I’m asking strangers for financial help.

Up until now I was doing considerably well, I had good job, was paying my bills on time and was working on my income property.

Two years ago I met my husband and it was a love from the first sight. We had a rough start though. We wanted an apartment  so we put our income information together and went for a hunt. Unfortunately something was wrong because we were rejected at least 35 times!!! After doing some in-depth research I found out that the reason of all the rejection was my husband poor credit score.

I was not going to give up and with help of friends and family we got a nice one bedroom apartment in a very nice building.

After a year we got married and things were looking pretty good.

My happiness was short-lived, though. It turned out that not only my husband had debts problems and tax problems which were taking a big chunk of our income, but also few addictions. I was thankful for having him sign prenuptial agreement because it protects me, and him in that matter from being responsible for debts acquired before our marriage.

Trying to help my husband to overcome his addiction I ended up in therapy myself becoming co-dependent. The depression forced me out of my job. It took me a very long time to find a new job but I recently did. It will take moths to get back on track, though.

For last few months, I live in fear of loosing our apartment. we haven’t paid the rent for last 3 months. Our building turn out to be very disorganized and because of it I found out that they illegally overcharging us for rent. I placed a complaint in Departament of Buildings and it looks like our rent will be reduced from $1620 to $1320 but it will take more then 2 years to process. So for now we have to pay what we signed for.

We owe them 4 rents of: $1620.

It comes up to:

$6480!!!

I went through all my savings, stopped payments of my credit cards so we could have money for rent food and bills. I had my cell phone cancelled for obvious reasons. My construction is on hold. Still I have some medical bills but I worked out low payments so it will not go to collection.

Unfortunately my credit cards debt went to collection and I have been summoned to court.

I owe:

BoA:  $4388.98

CO:   $3077.54

CO:   $ 707.87

I’m trying to do all the right things and keep it together but with my husband addictions , piling up bills and threat of being homeless it feels like the whole world is collapsing around me.

I hope that there are people who can help me. I will be gratefully appreciative of any and all help.

God Bless You and Thank You!
