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.

Thank you

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!

Hello kind soul,

My name is Janna. I just received my MFA and I want nothing more than to be a teacher. I worked thee jobs through my time at University and was still able to maintain a 4.0. I am blessed to say that I was even the valedictorian of my undergraduate and graduate programs. Unfortunately, I had to work so many jobs because I was unable to obtain a student loan. Although my credit was high, I was too young to not have a co-signer, and I have no family to speak of, so I had to go it alone. Therefore, I had to put large chunks of tuition of credit cards which are now drowning me. I have just graduated and I already face bankruptcy. The issue is that I do not have enough money to pay the bankruptcy lawyer.

To make matters worse, I had to go to the hospital for e-coli poisoning and I do not have insurance. Now my bills are higher than my income by 200%. I was evicted and I am frantically looking for work.

In the meantime, I pawned what I could to make ends meet, but it is not enough. I face homelessness and possible lawsuit from my creditors. I very much need to file for bankruptcy and to find rent money.

I am not an irresponsible person, I just cannot seem to catch a break. I work very hard and will continue to do so. I just wanted an education and it was too much of a financial burden.  I deeply, deeply appreciate any and all help.

The picture that I posted shows where I live. everything that is in a box will be taken to pawn away. If I lose anymore I will have nowhere to go. Please, please help.

 

God bless,

Janna T.

Greetings.

I’ve never been in this position and I hesitate to write this, but I want my generosity in the past to somehow touch someone that’s in a position to help.  You don’t know me from Adam obviously, but I’ve gotten to the point I feel it’s necessary.

Since marrying my wife 9 years ago, I have been the sole provider for our family.  We have been fortunate enough that she was able to stay at home with our 8 year old daughter since her birth.

In the last 6 months however, things have taken an abrupt turn.  After losing my job in July, we were forced to move from our home and live in temporary housing.   We have piecemealed things together and I have finally found and accepted a new position.

During this period, my father’s health declined and my elderly mother had no options for around-the-clock care.  My savings and credit have taken a severe hit over this time as well as I did what I could to support my family and also help provide funding for my daughter.  After a long battle, my father succumbed to his illness and passed away at the end of the year.  Unfortunately, he didn’t have much of anything planned or set aside and we did all we could to help with burial and arrangements.

Currently we are 2 months behind on house payments and nearly 2 months on our vehicles along with other obligations.  My new position begins on February 4th and should be more than sufficient income to move things forward.  My wife has also begun a new job as we try and chip away.

When I’ve had money in the past, I have been generous to a fault and it seems to have come back to bite me given the spot I’m in now.  I am looking for approximately $10,000 to help get caught up, maintain what little pride I have left, and start my new role on a high note.

I am hoping in my heart that someone who finds themselves in a blessed state as I have experienced in the past will do what they can to help me get my life back on track as I start a new endeavor.

All tbe best, and as much as the phrase is overused, anything will help to move us forward.

First, I wanna say I appreciate you for opening this and taking the time to read it. Im a student living in Los Angeles. I work at a store part time and they recently cut my hours all the way down to 1 single shift per week. That’s merely 6 hours a week. at $12 per hour. That isn’t even enough to get me through a week alone. I am currently on winter break and using this time to try and get a new job before Spring semester begins in Feb. I like to work, I love feeling accomplished at the end of my day and it’s beyond frustrating that my own employer doesn’t care that I can’t survive on that schedule, no matter how hard I work. My manager responded to my request of more work with “stop bitching at me”.. I just got a 3 day notice of eviction because I couldn’t pay my rent this month. I see homeless people everywhere in the part of L.A. that I live in. It’s a terrible feeling knowing I don’t have the extra funds to help those people around me, and now finding myself in a situation where I could very well end up joining them is almost paralyzing. My rent is $1,509. I have no one to borrow from. My school may or may not help me financially because my gpa is just below the requirement but even if they do it wouldn’t happen soon enough to get me out of this situation. I don’t know what to do or who to go to. The people I am closest to are doing their best to survive as well and don’t have the means to help me. I don’t like burdening people but no matter how uncomfortable it is to find myself this vulnerable, I can’t let myself be prideful when I’m in this much need of help.

I have a great partner who has been trying as hard as I have to get our life better put together but after such a rough year we had, I’m not surprised that they don’t have any other resources for us either. We have 2 cats and our home is a small 1 br apt. We just want to be able to keep our home. All the work we have been putting into having a better life will be worth it in due time but right now we need help and have no other way of getting it.

Please, if you can’t help, I ask that you share this with someone who can and might want to.

Thank you & I hope this year brings you lots of great new opportunities as well.

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 which to be honest is going to be my retirement fund.

I was recently discharged from a behavioral clinic on the account of my attempted suicide, I was committed for about 3 weeks and was out of work on sick leave but unfortunately did not have enough pto to cover my paychecks to keep up with my bills and now I am on the verge of being evicted from the only thing left that I have besides my job, my home. Not only am I soon to be homeless but Im also being slapped with a bill for $950 for my hospitalization. I bought myself until the end of this month to come up with my rent, it will cost me around $800 to settle it because of late fees etc. I only have $175 to my name right now and insanely late on all of my bills but I can find a way to pay for the other bills, I just need to keep a roof over my head. I don’t have a vehicle either, I live half a mile away from my job (thank god) so I walk to work everyday and it’s absolutely no issue for me, i’ve been doing it for 2 years now. I’m asking for $2000 just so I can get myself back on my feet, I want to use this money to pay my unpaid rent, light bill, and medical bill, and use whatever extra is left for food I guess because Ive been living off of eggs and grilled cheese sandwiches and I don’t know how long the little food I have will last. BUT if $2000 is asking for too much I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND and I would happily settle for ANYTHING even if its $20. I never thought I would resort to this but I have no family and only a few close friends who are unable to assist me because they of course have their own financial issues to deal with. Even if this doesn’t work, life is worth living and Ill do whatever it takes to get myself out of this hole I have found myself in. I appreciate the time anyone takes to read this. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart, I wish a good year for all of you ❤ please feel free to contact me through email if you want to know my story!!! And/or further evidence for my needs! Thank you!

Hello I hope your having a blessed day. If this message finds you I hope you your heart is full of understanding. I would like to stay anonymous, being that my name is one of a kind and I’m a little embarrassed to post on a public page. It took a lot just for me to write this. I am 19 years old and I just started living on my own a year ago. I come from a family who has always struggled on the poverty line  my whole life. So growing up watching my single mother struggle to support four kids, I decided I wanted better for myself so I put in as much work as I could under my circumstances. I started with barley many help at the age of 18 got myself an apartment and a car from working two jobs. I was doing great until the hurricane hit (Florence) and I ended up losing my job and most of my belongings. Which set us back in bills to 2,000$ and we were evicted from our home. Im currently living at my cramped elderly uncles home on a small air mattress,  just looking for ways to eat day by day. I don’t start my new job until January 7th I have all the paper work to prove it, and even when I do start it’s gonna be a while before I can do this on my own. I do have bills and receipts evidence of the amount due I just didn’t post it on the actual post because again I don’t want to put my personal info out there. I am willing to send any pictures needed I’ll even give you the phone numbers to call and verify. I’ve been working really hard trying to get this paid off and now I can’t even move into a new home until that amount is paid. I wouldn’t dare ask anyone of anything, I’m usually the one to give but for once I’m willing to admit I need help. I need someone gracious enough to help me get out of this hole I was never taught how to get out of. I pray that you find it in your heart to bless me with any contribution from 1.00 to the whole 2,000 anything will help me please and thank you.

My name is Jason Purcell.  The beautiful woman and the boys in the picture are my whole entire world.  Tiffany Noah and Alex make up the air that fills my lungs.  They are the reason I wake up everyday and I have failed them.  Two years ago I lost a great job.  I spent the next 18 months tumbling around different jobs and couldn’t find anything that fit.  All the while bills are stacking up left and right.  My beautiful wife with all she does at home with the boys has taken up a job to help out as best she can but with all the attention the boys need she can only work sparingly. Last month I found what could be a dream job after years of searching…however the hardships are not over.  All of the bills have finally come due and I am not yet in a position to pay them back.  I have recently received an eviction notice and we will be homeless for the new year if I don’t make something happen.  I have exhausted all family and friends and am searching for a kind heart and a miracle.  I have a total of $4,000 hanging above my head and I am doing my very best to avoid it crushing me but times are very tough. I will be turning around and immediately paying it forward in 2019.  If i am blessed with a second chance then others should be too. Please if you have anything and would like to help us out Click here https://paypal.me/humbledaddy and help me pull my family out of the fire and restore our well being.   Thank you for even taking the time to read this and I wish all of the blessings in the world to you if you are so kind as to help us.

hello, let me tell you my story and why im on this site giving it a try. im 33 mother of 2 a girl 11 and boy 10.they are living with my sister at the moment due to me not having a steady place for us to live ive never been without them and it hurts ive lived at my place of residence for over 3 years, I recently got an eviction notice and served to go to court, went to court lasted all of 5 minutes never been through that process before so was kind of confused of it. so judge gave me 10 days to move and plus pay back payment of $2500 to what I owed to landlord I owed way more but he was being nice, so eviction days don’t start til the day after court so my ninth day I got most of my belongings that were valuable packing out cars in the rain not a sole stopped by to ask if I needed help or finished moving so around 9pm we left and had planned to come back next morning to finish. so in the morning landlord called but I had missed the call due to the place I went to stay at I didn’t get reception so an hour or so later I text him explaining I seen that he called but no service and let him know today was last day and id be there in couple hours to finish.. he sent message back informing me they had already started clearing out my place and had thrown away my belongings in the trash.. I was extremely upset and lost for words I rushed there to find just about everything I owned was gone and thrown away and every room in the house was cleaned out I didn’t even get a chance to go through one of the closets in my kids room. my father who has passed 10 years ago I had a couple things left from him that cant be replaced and a lot of of stuff along with it. so I called police made a report and want to go through court process and take landlord to court due to fact he had no right to do any of that and also I still had a vehicle parked in the drive way along with my daughters bike anyone in their right mind would see that oh wait she not done considering every piece of furniture I owned was thrown away.. if this site really works and can really help support just asking for some financial support to put my family back together at least $1500 to cover for a new place to move into.. thank you again to whomever reads my story and answers my prayers

Happy Holidays,

I’m skeptical, but I’m desperate.  I’m a 37 year old abrasive blaster and sprayer from hampton roads.  I was just let go from my job after moving closer to them (renting a room) and devoting all my free time to working, out in the freezing cold, every day.  Over 60 hours a week on average.  I was told that I asked to stay home too many times, but I know for a fact I was being pushed to the limits of what any person could handle physically.  I finished jobs for them recently that outside “hustle crews” turned down even though they would have made 10X what I would get paid.  I ended up taking on those tasks, in the worst blasting conditions imaginable…

When asking for rest, or time to stay home due to being over-worked, I would be reminded that this is a “right to work state”.  Basically you can be fired at any time for any reason.

I’m not sure that they will even let me get unemployment while I look for more work!

I will be forced to vacate my place, along with my sun conure bird, literally the day after Christmas.

$350 would spare me this fate temporarily, whilst I try to salvage this situation, call VEC, and start looking for more work (on christmas).  Any, literally any help would be appreciated.  I’ve paid it forward in the past, and gave money to other tradesmen that needed help, and I’m praying that that karma might come back to me in some form for the Holiday… I’m so stressed I cant even eat because I’m racked with worry, I dont know what I will do with my bird, I’ll be out on the street…..

 

Please help,

Tim

Not sure where to begin….but here goes.  I’ve been a single mother for quite some time. My son and our pets are the joy of my life. When I sit here typing this, I wonder “how did it get to this point”.  Are things really that bad that I have to resort to begging for help from people who don’t know me?  This is about the most humbling experience of my life. I’ve always been so proud to be able to provide for my family without any help from anyone for so long.

The company I was working for, like many other’s stories, made cut backs on the last day we were all to be in the office for 2017. That was on a Friday, December 22, 2017. We were notified via “email” that due to budget issues today is the last day of employment. I just happen to have notifications for my email on my phone, otherwise I probably would not have seen the message until after Christmas. I immediately made phone calls and found out they had even demoted my manager to a “consultant”. He was a father of 4 and the only income coming in.  All this, just a couple days before Christmas.

Since then, I have applied to hundreds of jobs and have not received any offers. The system is so difficult for job hunters these days. The system weeds out so many outstanding candidates.

I have now exhausted Unemployment benefits (as of July) and all of my savings. I do not have family to help, both of my parents have already passed. My mother was taken from us too early in life. She was in a car accident and killed instantly when a teenager passed on a ‘double yellow line’ and hit her head on.  Sorry, memories coming back as I think about life leading up to my current situation.

We only have a few more days left here in our home before we have to be out of the house.  We will be living out of my car for a while until I can find work. I still have no idea what will happen to us. I can’t get food benefits because I’m not working at least 20 hours a week at the moment.  My family could really use your help right now. I really do not want my son living out of a car. He has enough issues just being a teenager in high school.

I am willing to work for funds as well. Please contact me if you need work done.

The title says it all. We really do need a miracle. Due to what we have started calling “a series of unfortunate events”, my husband, 3 children and I are fixing to be evicted from our home. We have no support from either side of the family. One side would love to, but cannot. The other side has the ability, but will not. This entire year has been one bad thing after another, and each is worse than the one before. I lost a good paying job, we lost the house we had lived in since our son was a week old. Due to a rumor started by a family member, we were unable to find work in our town. Small towns are great, mostly. But they believe whoever has lived there longest, and we lost. We used the remaining funds we had, and moved to my husband’s state of birth, and things were getting somewhat better. Except the home we stayed at was unfit to keep our children in, as the homeowner (my husband’s biological mother) kept 9 dogs inside the house, and would not clean. My oldest and I tried to get it clean and keep it that way, but that was another battle lost. Having nowhere else to go, we returned to the town we left behind a month earlier.  We stayed with his father and step mother for 2 months. In that time, my husband’s step mother caused so many issues that we were told by a state worker that we needed to leave the home as soon as possible, because they could not continue to let our children remain in such a toxic environment. So, as soon as we were able, we found a 3 bedroom mobile home and were able to move in. Things were going to FINALLY get better. Except it didn’t. My husband has had, and lost, 3 jobs since we moved in. The living conditions here were awful, up until last week, when the owners of the mobile home park finally put in a NEW water heater, instead of the old one they had pulled from an abandoned home in the park. Imagine showering with no hot water, when it’s 30 degrees outside. Now imagine too, that your carpal tunnel is now so bad, that you can barely use either hand, because the cold has made it worse. No money coming in, because you can fill out as many applications as you want, but you can’t make it to interviews with no gas. We have sold as many of our items as we can, but with losing so much earlier this year, we are kind of limited on what we have to sell. I paint, but none sell. The last 2 months, rent has come from charities. But those are the only 2 for our area. They are strictly once per year. So we are lost. While conditions here in this home have been kind of rough, it’s our home.  It needs repairs, it isn’t too pretty. But our children like it, we don’t have the toxic people here. I finally have the emotional support animal I have needed. Its our safe place, where we all are able to relax and be a family. Now it’s all going to be gone again. We will have to give up happiness and safety, my emotional support animal… I don’t know how many more blows my family can take. My kids have been through so much. They learned too early that family doesn’t always love. Sometimes, family likes to see you hurt. We ARE doing what we can to get employment, but with the time of year and no way to get anywhere except in this small town, we have been struggling. So, here I am. I am begging for help for my  family. Please, help us keep our home, our place of safety. Help me show my children that yes, there ARE still good people in the world.

In June of 2005, I was in a severe rollover car accident and severed my spinal cord. I also had a full facial laceration meaning I was cut from ear to ear and severely damaged my frontal lobe, I hit and busted out the back windshield with my head and it took all of my hair off the top. I ended up having over 300 stitches in almost a hundred Staples to reconstruct both my face and head. I was then put into a back brace and told that that would make me have the best quality of life possible with my injuries but after about six months my mother realized everything had gone wrong. I was hunchbacked from my T9 vertebrae and was 47 degrees angle meaning I was about to break myself in half basically. I’m not sure if you all know of the organization called Shriners, but they are amazing my mom had several opinions and finally Shriners took me and under their wing and within about a month I was back up on my feet and learning to walk again! Now it’s been 13 years and I refuse to file any kind of disability assistance, but now with all the wear and tear from work I am unable 2 be on my feet for too long or lift anything at this time. I have never felt this way, I feel unable to provide for myself and my home. I currently live with my sister and her son, which is my nephew, and we are now in the position where we are about to lose our home and everything we have worked for. All of my utilities are on disconnect and personal finances and bills are extremely overdue I feel like I’m drowning and it has taken everything to reach out but I beg and pray that I see some kind of light at the end of this tunnel! I thank you all for reading this and giving me simply that time. Happy holidays and I hope to get 2019 started off right!

Hello I’m a father of 3 who has diagnosed who heart failure a few years ago. I used to make a good living in the restaurant business before the sickness. I’ve been in and out of the hospital for the last few years, one time in ICU. I had to quit me job due to the stress. I have since took a job making less money but less stress.

I have fallen behind on bills due to my illness, I missed time from work due to hospitalization. If you know any with chronic heart failure its good days and very bad days. The last 8 months I’ve been Ok and work 5 days a week, but the hospital bills have taken its toll and a have a garnishment for $700 a month. I tried to fight the garnishment because my insurance should have paid the $5000 bill but they said I had pre- existing conditions which I was never diagnosed.

This month I have fallen behind on rent and I’m short $700. I have a court date on 12/21/18. My kids won’t have a Xmas this year but I at least won’t a roof over their heads. Thanks for listening. I have a copy of the court notice but not sure how to make the image smaller to fit.

My 18 month old daughter and I just moved to the area a couple months ago for a job for me. The move cost everything I had and I was still behind with all the deposits I’ve had to put down along with now having daycare costs. I’ve been trying to play catch up but the later I am the more fees get accrued. On top of that we did not get child support the last two months but was assured recently I will be receiving it from now on. I don’t get any type of government assistance as I make too much according to the guidelines, but I am on a contract until the end of this month so I don’t get paid for holidays and unfortunately our office was closed for 4 days for Thanksgiving so my paycheck took a big hit there, along with days I’ve had to leave to take my daughter to the doctor for illnesses. I’ve gotten multiple medical bills lately that I’ve had to pay before they go to collections from having to be in the hospital for a week over the summer. We had our power turned off a couple weeks ago so having that turned back on ended up costing us even more with additional fees. Yesterday I got home to a court order on my door for 12/11/18 for a pending eviction. I contacted my apartment management and they told me that I would have to pay $1,841.50 (past Nov rent, legal fees, and late fees) by end of day yesterday and then $1,617.00 ( Dec rent and late fees) by the 14th or they had to proceed and there were no other options. I was told by the sheriff to call the complex’s attorney, but I have not heard back. I have looked into other organizations but do not fit their guidelines nor am I in low income housing right now, and many I have had difficulty even reaching somone. My daughter and I do not have anyone in the area to turn to for help as we don’t know people down here yet. I have been looking for a second job as well as I want to be able to get back on my feet and ahead again as soon as possible. I am also fearful that if I get evicted I will lose rights to my daughter, and that is also just not something I could bear. If you can help I would appreciate it more than you could ever know.

I am a transgender woman who is still early in her transition. Living as myself full time, finally being the woman I always was and was meant to be, has been the most emotionally significant experience of my adult life. I’ve had to put a lot of work into this, from learning new skills and routines to acquiring in short order the things other women have had years to procure. It has many moments of being scary, especially in this country’s current political climate, and it has many struggles of its own, but I don’t know how I possibly lived so long before coming out.

I was recently laid off from my job of 4 years, and didn’t quite have things lined up when this month’s rent came due. I have also been getting the frustrating run around from Florida trying to apply for reemployment assistance; I’ve been trying to apply for going on two weeks, and due to complications in their system I still have yet to actually put in my application. This hasn’t stopped me from seeking employment, but I haven’t been hired yet. I now have to pay the remainder, plus a late fee, before Friday the 7th or I will be evicted. While being homeless would have anyone scared, as a trans woman I admit to being terrified as certain resources are closed to people like myself. Having a home is more than just a place to stay; it is security, a place where I know that I am and will be safe. In an era of looming ‘bathroom laws’ and the threats of the current White House against things like our civil rights and right to employment, knowing that there is one space where I don’t have to worry about angry stares or worse is absolutely essential.

I’m trying to keep fighting, and I know that all I need is some time to put my life back in proper working order. I just need to get past Friday, and in order to do that, I have to ask for help. I’m not used to that, but I no longer have the luxury of pride; I have nowhere else to turn, and almost no time to turn to it. For all intents and purposes, my life has barely begun; please help me to continue my growth into the person I am by helping to save the safe space in which I can blossom.

We are a family of 2 plus my son visiting the week ends: husband, I have a 5 years old from a previous marriage and my wife. We never taught that as a family of professionals, would have go through such a hard struggle at this point in our lives in the late fourties. My wife did not have income for over 6 months and apart my business I had to work a second job plus Lyft.

At the same time my business went through some hard struggles and I have been forced to ask a short term loan and cash advance with high interests. With lots of struggle, praying and cutting our expenses to the minimum we have been able to cover all the household bills plus the loan and the cash advance.
For the loan we pay $604 once a week and the cash advance is $121 daily monday through friday.  The money are deducted automatically from my bank account so all the other expenses take a second place because if we do not pay the repayments we go into overdraft which is $35 per transaction…. The loan will be paid off the first week of March 2019 and the cash advance in May 2019.

Once the loan will be paid off in 3 months time we will be fine and our struggles will be over but unfortunately we do not have the means at this point to pay everything and we do not know where to turn and we have tried also to ask a third loan to pay everything at lower monthly costs (we are paying almost $5000 monthly between loan and cash advance) but it was denied to us. I have asked to file for filing banckrupcy but it takes 4 months and it is too long.

At this point we have not paid the rent $1200 and will be evicted in 18 days if we would not do so, I have not been able to pay child support ($600), we will not be able to pay both loans and will go on overdraft and eventually our bank accounts and business accounts will be closed…. For the next 3 months we will be $3000 monthly short which means a total of $9000.

We beg you for your help, we are really desperate and do not know where to turn for help.  Even a small donation if given by many people will help us to get out from this nightmeare.

God bless those that would help us.

The PayPal account for the donation is the one of my business because it is from where the rent (I have a home based business), the loan and the cash advance are paid.

Hello all,

I am currently a graduate student at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology and working towards my Masters in Counseling to become a therapist . I love people and I love helping others as much as I can . Recently, I have been experiencing some financial strain due to being robbed nearby my house . I was forced to exhaust all of my money out of my account by gunpoint, including having to hand over my purse. That money in my account consisted of money that was desposited to me by my school as a refund . That was the money I was going to use to pay my rent every month and now I have completely nothing . I have no steady income due to the fact that I work at Navy Pier on the boat and my work is seasonal, meaning no work during the cold months . I’m up to ears in debt and I really do not want to spend the holidays moving out of my apartment and being evicted . I’m supposed to have the money paid in full by the 14th of this month, but I don’t think I’m going to make it. I literally have nothing but bad credit and $50 to my name . If any could possibly help out with something, anything , I would be forever grateful . I don’t receive another refund until the end of January and that’s just too late . This is my second month being late and I barely made it brought November . I paid November by borrowing money and I’ve exhausted all my options . So please, if anyone could donate anything that would be the ultimate blessing . Please help me fight this and not be evicted around Christmas. Thank you

My name is Ariel Craft and I am 21 years old. I have always had a job and a savings and plan for any situation until now. Last year I bought a used truck for 5300. I emptied my entire savings on it; because I knew I was going to be able to save the money up again. The truck ran great for 6 months until the first problem came.

I didn’t feel anything wrong with the brakes when I first brought the truck so, I was just riding not knowing I was wearing all of the rotors down. So, I had to chip out of my savings again to replace four rotors. Then I get in a car accident which threw out the lower control arm. That’s another chip at my savings and since that accident wasn’t covered I had to pay out of pocket for the repairs. I spent just under 1000 on total repairs.

The very next month after my accident the transmission starts to go. I had 800 in my saving but the work cost 1900 that’s everything include warranty and all right. So I use my entire paycheck plus my savings to pay for a “new” transmission. The “new” transmission goes out the day after the warranty ends which was three months after the fact.

The “new” transmission goes out 1 month after I get my apartment and new job. I thought I was good and starting fresh and I was ready. I was wrong. The job I was working only paid 9.00/hr. and I got paid on a weekly basis which was great because I no longer had a stash of money.  I needed to build as quickly as possible so I worked the first month at 45 hours or more each week. I was only able to accumulate 300 in the first month. This is the same time I gave up one my truck so I sold it but it wasn’t worth much because it could barely even move. So that took my saving up to 1100.

Once the truck was gone I was relying on a co-worker to take my back in forth from work for 50 a week. That was going great up until October. He quit without any heads up. He blocked my number and everything instead of just telling me he quit. So, for the first week I was paying $30 a day there and back with lyft and uber. That 180 a week just to get to work and that was the majority of my check. At this point the only reason the bills were paid for the month is because of the savings. I was able to hang on for three weeks until I started going negative. I don’t have a way to get to work now so, I see if my manager and I can work something out but his only words were “I’m sorry we are going to have to let you go if you can’t find a ride.”

Now I’m here with an eviction notice and shut off warnings from everyone. I would like a donation of $5000 so I can catch up on my bills and get a car to go back work.

Family of 7 about to be Hopeless & Homeless For The Holidays
Please Help !!
I never thought we would be in this situation as hardworking and as charitable we have always been. My family has been hit pretty hard this year with hardships Normally we just keep trying to work things out and pray for guidance on our next steps. But this time has been so different. I hardly no where to begin. Basically a while back my husband fell down 16 stairs and broke his back in two places. He was out of work for 8 months. He got short term work disability for 3 months and was supposed to get disability for the remaining months and was denied. That’s where we started getting a little behind. I have two disabled children. My son has Autism and severe epilepsy. My daughter has Asperger’s syndrome and panic attacks. The both take quite a bit of medication. Which is expensive. Then there is me I have high blood pressure, severe lymphedema in both of my legs which swell and make it difficult to walk. I also have a large umbilical hernia that needs to removed. And I suffer from Keratoconus which is an eye disease caused by the shape of my eye. I have to wear special contacts in order to see or I’m actually almost legally blind without them. Me and my husband both work. And we have been trying to keep everything caught up. I tried getting disability for me and my daughter and was turned Down twice. We are behind in rent $2500 and have 2 days to have our things out. We were out of the house since the day before thanksgiving. If we can’t get help our things have to be out Thursday. I don’t know if this will help. But I have tried everything else to come up with the money. We’re usually trying to help the homeless every year. Now we’re facing it ourselves. If you can find it in your heart to help us it would be greatly appreciated and when we’re on our feet we will pay it forward again. Lord Help us. I’m trying so hard to keep faith. Thank you for taking the time to read our reality. Sincerely KJones (NeedAMiracleNow)

Hello, 

I don’t know exactly where to start but I’ll start to where I see fits. I moved from Maryland to North Carolina to get a new start on life and needed a better environment for my mental peace and all the trauma I experienced when I was living in Maryland. I came down with nothing but a suitcase and travel bag because I was determined to lay low and my do too much until I really got my life back in order. August I moved to Durham and received a waitressing job a month later. I then worked my butt off and got a car for myself in January. I finally started knowing that there was some sort of purpose in my pain I had went through and power in what I could do, so I continued to fight. The beginning of July I was informed that I needed to hurry and find my own space to live because the people I stayed with wanted to move pretty soon. So day in and day out I searched long and hard for a place I could finally call my own after EVERYTHING. Towards the end of July I FINALLY get my place and move in August 10th, 2018 (greatest day of my life by the way) and everything was gravy! I then lost my job of a year , a month later and my life has been spinning out of control ever since. I’ve fallen 2 months behind on rent with no assistance from my family. My one supporter, my Father, is incarcerated by immigration custody and is on the verge of being deported so I’m alone and depressed most days at the fact. My cars head gasket just blew so the other job I had , I lost because of money and transportation issues. All the things that I’ve worked so long and hard for, all my blood , sweat and tears just thrown down the drain. I’m a hard worker and have came to a hurdle in my life but I know God will make a way for me and I know he didn’t bring me this far to leave me but I feel abandoned and don’t know where else to turn. I have all these bills piling up on me and I just want my life back! I am asking for $2,000 to pay my rent and phone bill. https://paypal.me/whataboutdaee

God please send me a miracle!! 

I am a single mom, currently unemployed, struggling to find work. I have been getting unemployment income which ended two weeks ago. I was not forewarned, and should have been paying attention to end date but have a lost track of end date. I just received a 3 day notice to pay past due rent plus fees in full and do not have the money.

I have 2 children, a 16 year old daughter, and a 14 year old son. They are the only thing that keeps me going some days. I share 50/50 custody with their dad and we live approximately a mile from each other with their schools in the middle. Our divorce took 3 years to finalize and the custody/child support has been an ongoing battle but has been pretty calm for the last two years.

I am a Registered Nurse and I have a true passion for what I do. There have been days recently that I have thought of changing my career path but I cannot think of anything more rewarding than helping someone feel better.

I lost my job in July and have been unsuccessful finding employment. I have completed countless applications, had many interviews via phone and in person. I have a professional attitude, my appearance is the same. I am not the bubbly outgoing type, more reserved but friendly. I also pride myself on being an honest person.

When I lost my job I had to cut many expenses. I had a small savings which has paid for groceries over the last few months. I cook all our meals, trying to stretch as much as possible. We eat a lot of soup, chili, and Ramen Noodles, but probably a lot healthier than the fast food and meal replacements we ate before.

My unemployment was just enough to cover my rent and utilities. It took a few weeks to get my unemployment, during which I fell behind on rent. I have remained a month behind until November. I had been told by several people that I could renew unemployment, but I called today to find out why I haven’t gotten a payment and ask what I needed to do if I needed to renew or reapply. I was informed that doesn’t happen anymore and I am now very unexpectedly unable to pay at all.

My family lives over 1000 miles away and I have no one to lean on. My family struggles to make ends meet. If I lose the roof over my head the only option I really have would be to move “home”which would separate me from my kids.  I am terrified of all the “what ifs” and am trying to keep a positive attitude, thinking of what I can learn from this. I do believe God has a purpose for my struggle.

If you are able to make a donation, I truly appreciate your help. If you believe in prayers I appreciate all we can get. I will one day be back on my feet, and again, able to help someone in need.

Hi there,

Thank you for taking time out of your day to read about me and my request. I can’t believe I got myself into this situation. Okay, here goes everything. I’m in a financial crisis that I’m embarrassed to say, I did to myself, slowly, and unintentionally, but I did it. I’m very deep in debt and I need help. I need help with my rent and car payments, so that I can attack my debt. Every paycheck, I have to decide what I can pay on, if I can buy actual food vs. Cup of Noodles and $0.89 microwave meals from Walmart to get me through the month and then there’s the basic necessities such as toilet paper and feminine needs. I’m paying as much as I can on my debts which is very little, pretty much just the interest, but after rent, car payments, utilities, student loans, and my phone bill, I have maybe $100 left a month for gas, food, and pet food. I don’t have cable or internet because I can live without it, it’s not important so I don’t need to waste money on it. I work as a full time manager with one company and part time manager at another to try and make ends meet. I work anywhere from 70-80 hours a week and I’m so exhausted and defeated. I sleep about 4-5 hours a night and try and pick up any extra shifts I can at my part time job. It’s Tuesday and I’ve already worked 35 hours this week. I’m so tired. Please help me. I just need someone to help me catch up and get ahead so I can move forward. I’m 32 year old female and have never been able to take a week off and have an actual vacation or just fun. I know that I’m the one who placed myself in this situation, but if you can and take pity on me, please help me, please.

Thank you so much,

Marie

Hello. A little bit about me first: My name is Jackson, I work in the environmental and transportation industries, I am fairly young just two years out of college, I live in Boston, and I hope this reaches you while you are having a great day!

 

I am looking for $1,500 before the end of the weekend.  Here is my story:  I began suffering this summer from extreme nauseau, vomiting, and stomach pain.  I won’t go into any more gross details than this, but I would generally vomit close to 50 times a day during my flare ups.  After multiple emergency room and primary care visits, I was diagnosed with Chron’s Disease.  After a trail-and-error period of figuring out the correct medications and dosage, I am now happy to say the majority of symptoms are gone, or at least controlled to the point where I can live a mostly normal life.

 

I missed a significant amount of work in August due to my condition.  I was able to use earned sick time, and a short term disability leave.  However, there was still a total of 8 days that were completely uncompensated, and 14 days of just 60% pay.

 

Since this happened in August, I paid my September and October rent two weeks late.  Luckily, I kept my landlord in the loop on my situation, and he was lenient and gave me a little extra time to collect my rent payments.  I was very grateful for this.

 

Yesterday evening, my landlord contacted me to say that if I do not collect my full rent, plus a late fee, by Tuesday, I will be evicted.  I have read my lease document to see if he is allowed to do this, and yes, he is allowed to do this.  I am very scared and do not know how to obtain these funds.  I am very worried that come Tuesday, I may actually be evicted, and most likely will end up homeless.  If I end up homeless, I’ll still have a job, but I don’t anticipate keeping that job very long if I am homeless.  I will most likely get let go in the near future due to this uncomfortable situation.

 

I have been struggling to get my payments back on track.  Luckily, I have been able to keep up-to-date on all other bills, loans, expenses, etc., with the exception of this month’s rent.  My rent plus the late fee totals $1500, and I would be incredibly grateful of anyone who can assist.

 

 

I am using this site as a last resort, as I am unsure of where else to seek help. If I am actually able to get financial help here from any of you, I would be so grateful. I do not want to be homeless. I do not want to lose my job. I do great work that benefits low-income, minorities, with better access to transportation. I am scared.

 

I have included a photo of myself below if you are interested in seeing what Jackson looks like.  This photo is me with a handsome dog named Brody, whom I often walk and dog-sit as a part-time job.

 

Thank you,
Jackson :)
