Hi All!
So I am going to give a break down on the past year and how I’ve come to be where I am today.
The new year was supposed to bring many good things as we all hope for, but in my case life took a turn for the worse. The father of my children and I have been together since 15 years old, so we’ve come across many obstacles like any relationship, until the verbal abuse had gotten so hurtful. Once he knew the words weren’t hurting anymore, it moved on to physical abuse. My children look up to their dad as Superman but to me I see someone I fear. We were always a team but nothing seemed good enough for him anymore. The abuse got more frequent, the bruises became more noticeable. .. I felt I had become a human punching bag with no way out. Until the day came where he tried to push me down our two flights of stairs in our home. At that moment I knew things would never go back to the good ol days. Unfortunately I was not making enough financially to hold down the fort on my own so we decided to sleep in separate beds to try and cope until one of us could get on our own. All went well until the day came when I had the sheriff knocking on my door to serve me a notice to quit. At that moment it had come to my attention that my ex held off on October’s rent without telling me. End of October I Ended up losing my job because my means of transportation had been wiped away. With everything falling apart I still try to make the day great and show my two amazing kids how strong their mama is, but sometimes we all hit that rock bottom feeling. I am there! At this point my ex moved out, left me with an eviction in motion, backed up light bill and all the other stress that comes with these life issues. I have until December 16th to leave my home with my kids & I have absolutely no savings or a place to go until I get on my feet. I do currently receive state benefits which is a huge help as far as grocery shopping goes, but trying to find a place to move with zero income seems close to impossible. Every day I am applying and making the necessary moves but some help would be tremendous. I’m giving this a shot with an open mind. I also know my story may sound horrible to some, but I am a fighter and he is out the picture which means I am safe again! If anyone could possibly contribute anything at all, the amount of stress that will be lifted off my shoulders will make me feel alive again. Any thing helps, and nothing is too small. We all need some help sometimes, it’s just up to us to put our pride aside and ask.
Thank you for taking the time to read & I appreciate any and all support!
Sincerely,

A mom who won’t give up

Hello, I usually don’t ask for help but I don’t know what to do anymore…my name is Michael and it’s been a rough couple of months, I’ve barely been making it by because my old job has been giving me 15-20 hours a week, instead of the 40 I was originally promised. I’ve begged for more hours but they were unwilling to give any extra, even hours of people who called out and said I could have them. But I was able to work out a deal with the owner of the complex I live in and set up a payment plan which was helping a lot at the time… I’ve been making payments here and there when I could and I was just able to give them $550. It was going really well, I even just got a new job and it’s basically my dream job (they pay more, give more hours and it’s in the field I’m interested in) that I’ve been in the process of getting for a few months and I finally got it a few weeks ago. I’m supposed to start in about four days, but the manager at my complex just messaged me and said that the owner isn’t accepting payment plans anymore and I owe $1227.29 or I’m losing my place. If I lost this place I’d lose my job too, my credit isn’t that good and I tried finding loans but I can’t get any and I don’t know what to do anymore, I hate asking for help but I have no clue where I can go or what I can do. I have a therapy dog and I don’t know if I could handle losing her, I have PTSD and a few other disorders that she really helps with and I love her so much, her name is Jayla and she’s a retriever. I adopted her three years ago from the Humane Society and she’s been such a huge part of my life. These past couple days have been the hardest I’ve had to deal with in a while. I’m sorry if I’m rambling or if I don’t make as much sense as I would like to, I’m just in such a constant state of anxiety right now and I can’t think clearly. Even now my dog has her head on my lap as I write this. This all feels like it happened so sudden and devastating, it feels like a semi just crashed into me. I just can’t imagine losing everything…

I am not one to usually ask for help, I would rather try and work it out somehow, but now I’m in a bind that I can’t crawl out of.
My name is Maggie, I am 46 and married to my husband Thomas. I am a mother of three children. We recently relocated to Michigan due to my moms health going downhill.
My oldest son Zach is still down in Georgia, he is 18 and started at Georgia Southern this fall. I am very very proud of him and all he has accomplished. He plays the saxophone and is a wonderful musician. I am divorced from his father, so I have had to do everything on my own for him since he was 12.
My daughter breanna is 14, her and Zach have the same dad, so again I have done for her all by myself. She just started school and she also plays the saxaphone, she is a very bright young girl.
My son Issac is 4, his daddy is Thomas, my husband. Because we had him at a late age in our life, he has complications. He has autism and adhd. Life with my baby is hard some days but I love him no matter what and God willing, he will get better.
My husband Thomas is 48, he does work but don’t make that much and by the time they take out child support on his other 2 kids that leaves us with 500.00 bi-weekly.
I did have a job, I was working for an aerospace company and doing CNC machining, I have been doing this type of work for 19 years. I had just started so I was in the probation period still. As I mentioned earlier my mom was ill, so last month she had to have surgery the surgeon gave her a 50/50 chance of survival so of course I went! She is my mama! They took her back at 1pm and she did not get out until almost 8:30pm. They had almost lost her a couple of times. Well her surgeons office had sent a note into my work the next day excusing me for the day of her surgery and the day after. When I called my employer to see if they had received the fax, she let me know they terminated my employment!
I have always been the provider for my family because of my occupation and now I have nothing. I can’t even buy the necessities for the house.
A few days ago I received a notice to vacate the home because we owe partial deposit yet and rent. Everyday we are late it goes up another 5.00. We currently owe 1650.00 to stay in our home, and so I’m asking, begging for for help. I don’t want my children to be homeless or go without. I have donated over the years to many charities. God knows, I need someone to be my hero please. Anything would help us right now but my biggest fear is being homeless. Please if you can help us here is my

My name is Dominic Carter, I am 33 years old from Baltimore Maryland. I recently had fell on Hard Times due to being unexpectedly laid off from my job. I have been homeless before sleeping in vacant homes and on the back porches a so-called friends. I have always kept a job and paid my bills on time and also try to help those in need when I could. I don’t have anyone to help me and I’m all alone. For the past 2 years I have been in my own apartment paying my bills on time including my rent, Gas and Electric, cable bill, food and bare necessities. I’ve always been a firm believer in God and he has never not answer the prayer did I have prayed to him. Recently 4 months ago I unexpectedly was laid off of my job I was a driver for a mental health facility for the past 2 years. One day I went to work excited and ready to do my job as usual and I was informed that I no longer had a job, so I felt as though the rug was pulled from underneath of me falling flat on my face. Within the past 4 months I have been looking for jobs with no success and in the process I have fallen behind on my rent and other bills. My landlord is currently in the eviction process and she told me I have about two to three weeks to come up with the money before the eviction process is carried through. I am 4 months behind on rent which equals a total of almost $2,500 not including my that need to get paid. I’m not really worried about the cable and the luxuries I’m just worried about a place to call home and Gas and Electric in hot water. I need a total of around $3,000 to help me get on my feet and pay all the bills that I need to pay the Necessities not the luxuries. I hope that this letter will reach someone but I have prayed about it and I know it will reach my guardian angel and God will yet again come through for me in this storm that I am currently in but it will not last so I’m having faith that it will reach the right person at the right time and they will donate to me thank you I appreciate it and be blessed and have a safe Day thank you.

Thank you for taking the time to read! I am looking for a miracle. I have always worked hard, but never lucky enough to not struggle. I usually manage to get by but the last year has really flipped my for a loop. We had a horrible hurricane that put us out of work for months, caused severe damage to my fathers home and just reeked havoc on our lives. I found out I was sick in May, have been in and out of the hospital ever since. I have not been able to work and am now not able to cover my expenses. I have officially exhausted my savings and don’t have any options to borrow without employment. It could be many months before I receive disability and it just seems hopeless. I have an eviction notice, overdue bills, a non working car, kids college tuition due and medical expenses that I just cant pay. My fiance and I have postponed our wedding. We have dreamed of a May 4th wedding to celebrate our first date, Star Wars and our extreme love for the movies. I have a fantastic father that has given me the joy of being a true Daddy’s girl. He served in the Navy and gave me a great childhood in every way. He is now a disabled veteran and also notable poet. I want so bad to be able to help repair his home, care for him as he has done for me and take him to do things he would enjoy. I care for him the best I can and would literally do anything for him. I am also the very proud mother of two great kids. Well, they are 17 and 20 so I guess I’m supposed to pretend they are adults but to me they are still the bundles of pride and joy that make my life worth living. I have never been well off, I have always had to pinch pennies and budget every dollar. But my kids made me feel like I give them the world. Yet, I am so ashamed of the struggles we have faced, the sacrifices they endured and all the things they went without. I do not want them to suffer because of me. I want to be able to be proud and have the peace of mind to sleep at night and not worry. I have no set amount that I need. I literally have zero. I work as much as I can, and will do anything I can to help my family. I feel like such a failure and cant take much more. I am terrified that I will be evicted for being behind, have another medical emergency or just not able to afford normal things like presents for holidays, a decent vehicle or a home I wont lose. I am out of time and have to do something. My landlord is very strict, my health is declining and I feel like I am out of options. The stress and depression have really started to take a toll on me. I would love to finally not be behind on bills and be able to help my family and other people when they need it. I am always sad when I hear of other friends or people that are sad and suffering and there is nothing I can do. Please help me get out of a lifetime rut of being behind and struggling. A small miracle, one lucky break, could change my life. I am hoping for my miracle.

I am writing asking for help getting caught up on bills. I am 53 and live with my 23 year old daughter. We have had a rough year. I’m in a downward spiral I can’t stop.

Last November my health got bad. By January I was no longer able to work. I signed up for disability and am still waiing. At that time we had another roommate and with my little.savings we were doing ok. Then in February the roommate refused to pay bills but didnt move out for a month.  Covering that was a hit on our carefully planned budget.

Next in March my daughters father suffered a cardiac arrest. He went into a vegetative state which he never came out of and passed away 3 weeks later. My daughter was his next of kin so responsible for all medical decisions.  Due to this sadness and grief a lot of work was missed. He passed  away with  no life insurance so his funeral came as another unexpected expense.

In August we were just getting close to caught up on bills when my daughter was driving and got in a one vehicle wreck which totaled our car. No, she wasnt drinking or texting. Her grief just hit her and she started crying. She should have pulled over but was just trying to make it home. It happened just a couple miles from here. Thank god she was okay but due to the previous bad luck our car insurance was lapsed so now no vehicle. Taking a Lyft back and forth to work was eating up funds. Luckily about a month ago my daughters dads significant other bought a new car so gave my daughter her dads old car. (They were co-owners thats why my daughter didn’t get it when he passed away).

Anyway at this point we can’t get caught up. Every month we are facing eviction or getting a disconnect letter on some utility. We have cut back all we can. We have no cell phones or cable. We do have internet, its our only form of communication. My daughter needs grief counseling and I need to see a doctor and get back on my medications but we have to catch up bills first.

$2000 would be wonderful. That way everything would be current. We can manage regular monthly expenses. Anything you can send towards that will help. Right now our electric is $308, internet around $150, gas is $226, and rent is $844. The other would be spent to get our cell phone caught up and turned back on, get car insurance,  and go to the doctor and get my meds.

I am truly grateful for any help. I’m out of options. Help can be sent to paypal.me/KellyBlanton

Thank you for your consideration

Having exhausted all other methods of help, I come to you embarrassed yet desperate. It seems unfathomable that an unknown stranger could help me, and yet here I am asking, no begging, for your help.

My name is Donald Kolar, my wife of 24 years is Shari Kolar. We are both in our late 50’s, and, in the process of filing for Disability. My case will be going to court by the end of this year or first of 2020. I have already sent my final paperwork in and am  awaiting my court date. Each of us has a Service Dog to assist us. I am a brittle diabetic with complications and have a diabetic alert dog named Ceska. Shari has Sirius, who makes it possible for her to leave the house due to agoraphobia and panic attacks.

Having no family able to help us we have exhausted our savings. We have applied for and are receiving Medicaid and SNAP benefits. Our application for temporary financial aid is in the works but had to be restarted after 2 months because one of my doctors did not submit my diagnosis on time. Meanwhile, having no money, all of our bills are 2+ months in arrears. We face eviction on 10/11/19 and our electricity will be disconnected on 10/10/19.

We had hoped and planned to have enough assets to get us through my disability determination and to an award.  We underestimated and honestly do not know what to do.  Being on the brink of homelessness and living in our van with New York’s winter approaching is a horrible position to be in. We have been told by the Department of Social Services to find a rental including utilities for around $650 per month that accepts 2 larger dogs. For weeks we have been scouring the area, newspapers, Marketplace, Facebook, online, and, even just driving around in search of “For Rent By Owner” signs to call on.

I have estimated that we would need approximately $6, 500 to cover our arrears. In addition  we need help in obtaining toiletries, cleaning supplies, gas and insurance for our van, upcoming vet exams, shots, and dog food.  We need these supplies to hold over until my Disability is awarded. Finally I am begging for help with shelter until I am able to find a rental that meets Social Services limitations, and, our requirements with the 2 service dogs. I realize that is an incredible request of a complete stranger. I would gladly discuss and provide proof of any of my requests.  I am not so much asking for a hand out as a hand up to get us through the next few months so we can once again become stable and able to live within our means. With a humble heart and faith in the goodness of mankind, I thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Donald Kolar

Hello! Hope all are having a wonderful day! I recently did a bit of research online about looking into donations for help with my situation and came across this site, so here I am and here’s my story. In the past 6 months I’ve been struggling severely with my depression and anxiety. So severe I even contemplated suicide, I just wanted to give up on life, feeling completely defeated at everything. No motivation, no positive outlook on anything and then i would feel so awful for feeling that way, which only made me feel worse. It was a horrible cycle. Suffering with panic attacks from becoming overwhelmed with my thoughts and even just talking about it. It definitely took a toll on my life and affected my 2 daughters as well as family. I’m greatly appreciative for my family as they have been very helpful during my hardship, I honestly don’t know how i would’ve got through this if it wasn’t for them. Moving forward, Im dealing with my illness in more positive and healthier way, and my daughters are doing much better now that they see I’m doing better. Children really do pay attention to everything. I now have professional help, I am making good progress and I’m so thankful for it! However, with what i consider the worst part of life for me, I loss jobs due to my illness and not mentally being able to maintain one because of my illness.  Therefore, I became delinquent on alot of my utility bills and worst I’m now faced with losing my home. I’ve made little progress with getting some of my utility bills in a better standing but I still have catching up to do. Recently I’ve been summons to appear in court October 8th 2019 by my landlord for the current balance of $2240.88 for rent not including any late fees, attorney fees or any consequential expenses. I’m in the process of securing full-time employment to make payments and fully secure my home again. I’ve been doing small jobs here and there through temporary agencies in between time. This has been very challenging to say the least, as the last thing i would ever want to happen is to lose my daughter’s and I home but I’m staying positive and optimistic, pushing through and regaining myself. With that being said, I’m requesting a donation for $3,000 to be able to make the needed payments for my home and remaining utilities. As I know this will lift a tremendous weight off my shoulders, giving me a jumpstart and allowing me to confidently get back on track with my life and to continue to move forward with my little family. Any documentation needed to further support my story, I will gladly provide upon request.

I need help paying my monthly rent and have already received an eviction notice. I lost someone very close to me and have been trying to pay the expenses for both. I am only asking for $1500 and need it before September 15th. I know it is very sudden I am just not the type of person to ask for help when I need it. I feel ashamed of asking for help. I have three beautiful children and will do anything for them and that is why I am here explaining why I need the money. So they can continue to have a roof over their heads, so they will not worry about where they will sleep, or how they will get to school. My children are my world and mean everything to me and if I can get the help I need I will be grateful for the rest of my life.

I’ve been running my a successful consulting business for two years and 2019 started better than my previous two years. Things were going well. But in April my two biggest clients decided break contract suddenly leaving me in the lurch. 

I had several proposals out for new business but none of them worked out. I was already working a part time job and I took on two more. I applied for a business loan but was denied because my business wasn’t around for three full years. I tried for a personal loan but was denied for that as well due to my credit was destroyed because not only did my personal information get stolen during the Equifax breach but it was also used to open multiple accounts. My good credit went to bad fast and it still not recovered. 

I decided to slowly closed down my company and started job searching in May but after exhausting my savings I got behind on my rent. In the middle of June I received an eviction notice. Fortunatey, I was able to ask friends and family for help and stave off losing my apartment. 

August came and I landed a job and I start mid-September. The irony is that moving forward from September I’ll be able to sustain myself but I received yet another eviction letter and have a court date this week on September 4th which will determine my fate. 

I don’t have anywhere to go. My mother passed away three years ago, my father or my youngest sister are not in a position to help me and the only immediately family I have in the close proximity is my other sister who lives in a home of assisted living for people with disabilities, the main reason why stay in the area. 

My current three part time jobs have help with my basic cost of living. Besides a car payment, other necessities and utilities, I don’t have any expenses. I don’t make any frivolous purchases, can’t remember the last time I bought myself something, even for my birthday that just passed.  

It’s just me and my cat, who belonged to my and I adopted after her passing. I’m asking for help to pay off three months worth of rent, not including any late charges or legal fees, so I can start I can move forward and start my new job worry free. 

Thank you for taking the time to read my story.

My name is Kristin Mercy and I’m in serious debt. I am suffering from multiple medical issues, none of which prevented me from working. But last October, I began suffering from chronic fatigue that leaves me exhausted after only a few hours. It’s making it hard for me to work, and I do freelance transcription work to begin with and this has made things very difficult for me.

I exhausted all the savings I had, and in June, I could no longer pay my rent. My rent is $1100 a month and now my landlord is trying to evict me. Although I completely understand that he is doing this, I have  nowhere to turn to get help. I’ve tried getting help from social services, but they turned me down. I have friends who have helped pay my utility bills, so I’m not in danger of my power being turned off, or my phone, but I’m running low on food as well.

In trying to prevent eviction, I told my landlord, I would try to be out by the end of August, 2019, but that is impossible since I can’t find a place to live I can afford that is cheaper than where I am now. He sent me a letter for demand of payment of past due rent in July, and at that point, I owed him #2200 plus $200 in late fees. I now owe him an additional month’s rent. He’s expecting me to be moved out in two weeks from today, 8/31/2019, unless I can come up with the $3300 I owe him.

I’ve looked for cheaper places to live, and cannot find any where I live, and I don’t have the money to move anyway, so I feel incredibly stuck. I’ve applied for other jobs, but haven’t gotten them. I’m incredibly scared and frustrated. I have two pet cats that I love dearly, and I’ve gotten help for their needs also, but I’m worried about losing them, as I have very few friends and a small family who can’t take them in.

I’m currently going through testing to find the cause of my chronic fatigue, but so far, my doctors haven’t been able to tell me why I get exhausted so quickly. Because of my financial worries, I haven’t been sleeping, which is adding to my fatigue. I’ve been very depressed since my mom passed away in 2013, and my cats are all I have for companionship because I don’t drive and I am home bound. I’m actually more concerned about losing my cats than my home at this point. Losing them terrifies me, they’re all I have.

I know there are far more people who are deserving of help than me, but if anyone could help me, even a little bit, because I am trying to work still, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you for reading. Hopefully, you can help!

I’m a single mom of 7 amazing kids ages 21-8. The oldest 2 are in college, next 3 in high school, 1 in middle school, and 1 in elementary.  I currently work about 30 hrs a week trying to take care of my family which is difficult.  I fell behind on my rent when I used a portion of my rent money to purchase food for my kids. I’ve been trying to catch up but with late fees and now court costs I dont have enough to keep this roof over my family’s head and I’m frightened. I am facing eviction as early as this Sunday 9/8/2019. I dont have anyone that can afford to help me so this is my last resort. I’ve tried churches and social services. I was actually approved for help from social services but my landlord wont participate in that program so I’m stuck between a tick and a hard place. 

Hello,

first I thank the giving hearts for taking the time to read and donate to my cause in times of desperation.  To make this quick and sweet, I’ve come to ask with help for debt and a lawsuit!

May 2018, I had a beautiful baby girl. Everything changed when I figured out balancing school, work, motherhood, and self was hard! Especially being a young mother. I tried to persist, with student loans piling up, medical bills, tired and withdrawn from my daily life! I was struggling! September 2018, my car got totaled from letting a friend borrow it. Big mistake, and more big bills for young mother me, trying to hard to beat the postpartum depression that was trying to sneak up on me. I persisted.

But atlas, I thought my troubles had come to blessings but soon I would find out it was more trouble. Fast forward to December 2018, me & a friend FINALLY found the perfect place to stay. We’d both go half on rent, I had got a new car the month before. I was enrolled for the spring semester and we signed our least for 6 months because we were unsure how the living situation would go. Major indicator; life also gives you foreshadows, not just books! Fast forward to now August 2019, I come home to a letter on the door. $8000 is what I’m being sued for because I didn’t make sure that when I gave my roommate the money each month for rent, that it was actually being paid.

I cant get a loan because I have no credit, I don’t know anyone who would let me borrow that much money, I don’t even know what to do. I’m a young mother, trying, hard to not be another statistic by working , getting an education, taking care of my responsibilities and just being an honest hard working citizen doing the work of the our Lord in the background. Life gets hard but I didn’t this it would start feeling like a twelve ton rock that can’t be lifted even with the strongest of force, and this is something that even is above my head and my daughter… is all I can think about. I want her to know that mommy is trying.

Whether many people see this or just one… maybe even none I hope my genuine story and pain is felt through the texts, and moves your heart enough to donate to my struggle. If not for me, for my daughter who doesn’t know how hard her mother is trying to make a better life for the two. $1 or $10000 we would be GRATEFUL.

I pray that someone please help me and my family and God touch your hearts to help. This has not been our year. In March, my car broke down on the highway and found out that I had a blown engine which would cost 1200. I ended up selling it for the KBB value which was under $100. In April, I only have 3 more classes to go before I obtain my degree, but found out I cant finish school due to not enough federal money left. In order for me to finish I will have to pay 3,800. I am so depressed and stressed.

Now, I just received a notice yesterday saying I have 5 days before we will be evicted. I am a struggling single mom whose taking care of my daughter and disabled mother. The job I have isn’t enough to pay our rent. I have to use 3 paychecks to pay and sometimes even 4. I cant afford to get a second job because of transportation. I have extinguish every source of finances I have. No savings, I withdrawn my retirement early, too many loans, just to keep a roof over our head and survive. I dont have no other place to turn and I asked my family and they dont have the money to prevent us from getting evicted. I owe $1180. I am praying that anyone please help us. I am so hurt that I would let me daughter down. This is her first time ever having her own bedroom shes 15. I am desperately praying. Please bless us with a miracle. We would appreciate anything anyone can bless us with. Take care and God Bless.

It has been five years since my husband committed suicide.  Thrown into bringing up our children up by myself.  I never felt “why me” because I knew we could do anything together.  Moving forward to today, I have run out of money.  Desperately trying to find jobs in a small community has proven to be extremely difficult and the one job I have is ending this week.  While trying every avenue that I can to get some money, nothing has worked and I am about to lose my rental.  I have no immediate family.  My mother and father have passed and no where to turn to for help.  On top of everything my appendix burst last week.  That bill alone will be huge!  As I cry when writing on this site I hope for a miracle.  It is beyond me on how I will tell my children that we have no home.  Thank you for reading my story and I hope for help.

Last summer I resigned from my job in DC and moved back to VA to launch my business and be closer to family. The primary catalyst for this move was my father’s health. Prior to making this decision, I prayed, analyzed the pros and cons, and prayed some more. Ultimately, I felt that this move was the right thing to do. And, at first, it was going well. But then everything dried up and I soon realized that I’d grossly miscalculated how far the lump sum I had would go with new responsibilities. As a result, I found myself struggling and facing eviction from the apartment I’d only been in for a couple of months. I was broke and in a really bad space because I thought this move was what God had led me to do.

To generate income while still building my business and helping with my family, I applied to be a substitute teacher. I was subsequently offered a full-time teaching position. However, by this time I was already way behind in everything. Ultimately, I had to file for bankruptcy in November. By doing this, I was hoping for a fresh start; but things just continued in a spiral downward and I am now finding myself in another financial hole. More specifically, I am presently facing eviction proceedings (again) and in dire need of financial assistance. I’ve racked my brain trying to figure out how I arrived here and I haven’t been able to pinpoint the exact cause(s).

With all that’s transpired over the past year, it’s been tempting to chalk things up to this move being the wrong decision. However, when I reflect on my decision making process and, most importantly, the main reason for moving back (family), that resolve seems incorrect and a part of me believes this season has been one of righteous affliction. I also believe that God is using this season to prune and refine me–especially in the areas of faith, discipline, and pride. 

The latter of these is, perhaps, the most difficult and perhaps even a contributing factor to my current lot. Moreover, while I know that God is a provider, I have come to recognize that sometimes that provision comes in ways we least expect and/or is attached to doing something different or uncomfortable. With that being said, if you are able to assist me, I would be most appreciative.

To stop the court proceedings, I am in need of $2500. The amount I am requesting is $5000 in order to pay August’s rent, take care of some outstanding bills, and have funds to tie me over until the first pay period of the school year (September 6, 2019). Your kind consideration of this request would be greatly appreciated.

My husband, Justin, and I are looking to pay off our car loans (total $26,000 combined) so that our credit score will increase and we may have the opportunity to purchase a home. Last night, Justin’s SUV got repossessed after we called our insurance due to a flat tire and needed road side assistance. Because of this, Justin called his auto lender to discuss settlement, and they gave an option to buy out the vehicle for $6,000 less than what is owed on the loan. We would like to take this opportunity, but cannot without help. I’d like to offer some back story of how we got in this position and who we are as people so that you understand us a bit more.

My name is Lacey, age 26, and I am currently obtaining my Master’s in Clinical Psychology. Justin, age 28, is a chef along the Emerald Coast and has recently been accepted into Johnson and Wales University’s bachelors culinary program. He was awarded an academic scholarship however due to that, FAFSA did not award as much to him based on our 2017 taxes, this meaning housing will come majority out of pocket. Due to this, we are looking to purchase a home. We have rented thus far and the renting process has not treated us well. We are good tenants with a good rental history however, we would like our own home to take care of and build equity in. Through our search, we have been informed that our credit does not qualify for home ownership due to my outstanding student loan debt ($234,000; Bachelors from The University of Alabama and Graduate from Purdue University) to income ratio. My car loan is $12,500 and Justin’s care loan is $15,600 with a total buyout of $9,600, including the repossession fee. We are looking to move within the next month so that Justin can begin school in September.

What us landed us in this position: In February, we purchased a 30 ft. travel trailer that we hoped to live in full-time however, we were sold a lemon. The floor was rotten, the ceiling caved in during transportation – we were devastated but were up for the challenge. We deconstruction and reconstructed the entire travel trailer making it a tiny home on wheels however became tiny hell on wheels. Because we were basically playing with different sets of Lego’s, the construction ended up being a bust. Leaks and plumbing issues from day 1. Traveling also became a huge and costly burden to bare. Because we could not find a vacant RV lot close to where we were working in Destin, FL, we both had to quit our jobs and live on the little we had saved. We had hoped to live a minimal, tiny life however, we realize we jumped way in over our head and it swallowed us. We just want to get back to stability.

We do not have family that we can ask, as my parents are paying for my sister to go through school and Justin’s family is helping his sister with her children. We do not have other relatives or friends that are doing well-off enough to help us. We’d appreciate anything, and really just want this chance to do this right.

Thank you for reading,

Lacey

Hello everyone, I’m currently trying to get back on my feet after losing my job and during that time my father tried  to commit suicide and my mental health and depression not being able to handle everything going on with my family being torn apart. In that time I had been applying to several jobs and interviews and didn’t have any luck. It took me months! In the mean time I’d just sell items on eBay & Poshmark until that started to slow down for me in sales  but finally. Until this week when I finally landed a job that’ll be great for me to get back to normal. Only problem is my rent is behind $1520 now for June & July 1st is approaching as well which is $988 for the new month. My new job is 13.75 full time but since I’m just starting this week I don’t have enough time to generate enough from my checks. Which sucks because if I would’ve gotten this I could’ve been okay. I’ve tried everything and don’t have any help because I don’t have any close family and my mother & father is poor & struggling as well. I don’t have any friends as well who are in positions to help. It would be a blessing if anyone could get me through this challenging time because I’ve been crying for days and miserable because I feel so helpless. I thought things were going to get better for me this year but it’s like I keep having the worst luck when I work very hard! I just fell on hard times unfortunately. I was told by the apartment office rent manager that if I pay by the 1st of July before new month for rent show with a money order or cashiers check they can go ahead and dismiss the eviction but once July rent shows I’d need June & July. I don’t get a paycheck until July 5th and even that won’t be enough it’ll be about 300 something since it’s only a few training hours and not the full 40 hours a week yet. I attached a screenshot of the amount from my apt portal log in. Any help would be greatly appreciated and a blessing to get me back on my feet.

Hello, I am making a post here today because me and my fiance are in a very bad spot. Currently we are on the verge of losing our apt because we are about to be 3 months behind on rent and other bills. This was no fault of our own since the job I work is the this all happened. To make a long story short my job has been having some issues with getting my laptop to boot there work desktop since I work from home. I had to buy multiple USB sticks and even a new laptop since there software broke my fiances old laptop that I was using at first when the issue started. This has been going on since February of this year and they won’t own up to there mistakes and I have lost so many hours which made it to where I was barely making any money and there were multiple times where I didn’t get a check at all. We have been trying our best to keep up with bills and have tried so many things but nothing worked and I was and still am looking for a new job with no luck as of yet. To make matters worse a lot of the money I did make ended up having to go to my fiances medical bills and prescriptions since he was having seizures and asthma attacks and was in and out of the hospital the past few months which set us back even farther. So now we are at the end of our rope and really need some help I don’t want to be homeless and I don’t want him to be homeless again and everything we have tried hasn’t worked even talking with my job hasn’t worked and at the moment we are being blamed by my job for tampering with a laptop they sent me to use for work when we did not do so. So because of this I will probably get fired even though I did nothing wrong but they don’t believe me. The walls are closing in extremely fast and we are terrified that we will lose everything that we worked so hard for to have and keep only to be lost because of one job. So we are asking for some real help this is no scam and it very important to us. If anyone sees this and finds it in there heart to help please do and we thank you in advance and we are very grateful to anyone that can help. We are very pressed for time since we could lose the place as soon as the first week of July. We only made it this far because our landlord has been working with us but she can’t do that anymore so please we are looking for a blessing and we pray that we get one. So thank you everyone and have a blessed day.

Life is hard. Sometimes, it’s hard and we’re forced to make choices that aren’t always the smartest. I’ve done a lot of robbing Peter to pay Paul over the last 18 months and it’s caught up to me in a way I simply can not recover from on my own. My husband is disabled and I’m currently trying to get out of my marriage due to years of emotional abuse. My 19 year old daughter is in college and will have more expenses in a month that I need to help cover. I’m on the verge of eviction (must pay in a day and get caught up ASAP) from my home and can’t afford moving expenses. My credit score is awful due to several years of mounting medical bills so I am unable to obtain affordable loans on my own. Recently, my paychecks were garnished for an old debt that made it even more difficult to keep up. I do work full time and I drive for Lyft part time to help but the income from that has been even less now that summer has hit. I have title loans on my cars already and so that’s just not an additional option. I simply cannot get out of this without help. I’m happy to provide any additional details or answer any questions and provide any documentation needed.

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 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.

My bank summary showing the moneytree situation. And my internet bill. Don’t know what else to show. Also attached a photo of my notice from the apartment that I owe 1000.

I accidentally put UK instead of USA below…. I’m already screwing up

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
