I am here today to ask help for our bills and medical costs, I have been out of work since January of 2018 with back issues, I have 3 bulged discs and issues with the surrounding muscles, it hurts everyday, I have a hard time doing normal things like sweeping or laundry, I was on short term for 6 months but that ran out in July of last year, so I have been without any income for a year. It is really hard sometimes I get sad and depressed because I don’t know what else to do.

I have been going to doctors but it cost money of course, I have a co-pay and then any out of pocket costs after are left to me and the cost of gas to get there. Sometimes I have to reschedule due to lack of funds, it is a real struggle. I have never been in a situation like this before and I am up against a wall as to what to do, I have done yardsales and things like that to earn a little extra cash but I have nothing else to sell at this point.

I have filed for disability but it can take up to 3 years as I am sure some of you know, it has already been a year but it is no where close to being approved yet, but I have not give up on that tho. I just keep praying, I know God will come thru for me.

I just need a little help to get by until then, I have searched and searched for places to help and then I found this page, I feel like God put me here and that someone out there will be willing to help me, I would be so grateful to anyone who can help, it would be such a burden lifted off my shoulders.

Thank you for reading my story and may God bless you

I have been so stressed from this debt that I’ve developed crippling anxiety and depression.  Even though I am barely making ends meet I have decided to seek professional psychological help to deal with the anxiety and despair.  I know this will add to the pile but I cannot continue on my own.  Its what brought me here.  It would be incredible to be completely freed from this $20,000 in debt.  Anything would be of help.

I’ve accumulated a mountain of debt from some unnecessary purchases, medical and vet bills over the past six years.  Every time I seem to get ahead something comes up that keeps me stuck.  Sometimes of my own making but mostly from the unexpected.  About 6 years ago my cat, Krishna, swallowed a string and required roughly $4500 to cover the hospitalization, surgery, and follow up care.  In 2018 I spent another $4000 on vet bills in an attempt to stave off his kidney disease.  Unfortunately there was nothing that could be done in that situation and his physical presence is no longer on this earth.

Almost three years ago I got my first job out of college.  I got a little carried away and spent $1500 on a suit, shoes, dress pants, and dress shirts for the job.  Those unnecessary expenses I mentioned.

Four years ago, in 2015, I severely injured my arm in my first week of Brazilian Ju Jitsu Class.  A few weeks went by where I couldn’t hold my arm up, drive with it or even carry a coffee mug.  At the time I just let it go bc I was unemployed.  It started bothering me again in 2017 so I decided to try physical therapy.  While it was covered by insurance those copays still added up to approximately $2000.  Fast forward 8 months later and my shoulder went on me while using resistance bands.  I immediately had an MRI that confirmed the labrum was torn.  Surgery followed a few months later and physical therapy this past fall/winter.  The $1250 deductible in $5000 in copays added up fast.  I was so stressed out about meeting a budget that I even buried my head in the sand and let a medical bill go unpaid.  I have since reached out to the collection agency to make payments.

For nearly 20yrs I was a stay at home mom to 3 beautiful children. I returned to school to receive my Psychology degree at the age of 29 and with 1 year left I was diagnosed with cancer.  I did not want to give up,  being so close to reaching a dream of mine and to show my kids that anything was possible. Instead of dropping out I took a leave of absence during the worst and had amazing professors while attending during the better days.  This extended my 4yr degree and I ended up going for 5+yrs but in July of 2014 my family cheered me on as I walked across the stage to receive my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology!

Within 6mos the student loan bills began rolling in.. Even more because of the extension. Around this time I also came Out of remission. I was very sick and unable to work. This would not have been so crucial except for the fact that I also began going through a divorce in 2015. I took on the quickest job I was able to get, which was an assistant manager of a dollar store but the pay was barely enough to keep my boys fed and a half decent roof over their heads and so I put off my loans and sometimes went without my medication.

4yrs later I am remarried and have recently had to quit that job to care for my father-in-law who has lung cancer as well as deal with complications from my own disease. None of this has or will keep my student loans from accumulating or my medication cost from adding up.  My current husband works very hard but without a higher education of his own we do good to break even on our “everyday bills”. While I try to get my health and my father-in-laws health back on track I am in fear I have put too heavy of a financial burden on my husband. My medication alone is around $4,000 a year but it is not optional and although my student loans are not a financial emergency, the payments I attempt to make to avoid being in trouble do cut into our living expenses. If I can at least take a little of the burden off of my husband we can both focus on getting my health back on track so that I can finally follow my dream to help others face mental illness and in turn help my husband build a better life for our teen boys, daughter, and new granddaughter. I have a lot of pride so this is very difficult for me to post asking for assistance, but my love for my family outweighs anything else.

My husband and I are currently both unable to work, thanks to surgeries that were needed due to his deployment and my mental health taking a severe downward spiral during that deployment. We were barely able to get rent paid this month and haven’t been able to pay any of the other bills yet. I have two cats that are comfort animals, since I have not been able to leave the house, and a service dog in training for when I can start to leave the house alone again. He doesn’t want me to ask for help, but I’m hoping that there are some warm-hearted people out there to help a couple down on their luck and in need. Not being able to pay bills or feed and take care of those I live with causes my mental disabilities to spike and make me go even deeper into a hole. I know my husband doesn’t want me to do stuff like this, but I know he is having just as hard a time with all this. He has another surgery soon and I know we won’t be able to pay for that either and the health insurance through the military isn’t helping as much as I wish it could. It tears me apart to see him like he is. If I was healthy enough to work, I would. I would get two jobs if I was able. I know he would do the same for me. His surgeries are supposed to get him up and walking again without pain or limping, but I know he is scared of what is going to happen afterwards. With no money in the bank and neither of us being able to work, this is really hard on us. We have no one else to turn to. I know there are people out there with goodness in their heart and that you want to help. Anything that can be given would be much appreciated. I want to be able to let my husband relax and not stress and worry as much as he is after his surgeries. If he isn’t able to let himself get better, I don’t know what we are going to do. I don’t want him to stress over all the bills and debts that have and are going to start piling up just because we are both trying to get better. If you can help, please, I just want to see my husband get healthy again.

Hi, my name is Addison and I was in the United States Marine Corps. I am 23 years old and in a lot of trouble. I was injured while serving, but the VA refuses to pay anything for service related injuries. Currently I am about $40,000 in medical debt and have lost my job due to my medical issues. I have nerve damage in my back and in my sciatic nerve, and because of this it is hard to walk, sleep, or even stand for long periods of time. I am on the brink of being evicted from my apartment if I can not come up with money, and my car will be repossessed as well. I have thought about ending it all multiple times due to all of this and am in dire need of help.

I was never really taught about money growing up, or in school, and in the military they stress how much you need to do things and not sit on base all day. So I listed to what everybody told me and because of that I only had a little bit of money saved up. I have used pretty much all of my resources trying to avoid becoming homeless but I am almost there. I have about $87 left in my account and currently have no source of income at all. I honestly don’t know what else to do besides ask strangers for help. This is the lowest I have ever been, and I don’t think I will make it further if I can not get help.

I served from early 2014 up until late 2017 when I was administratively  separated. My leadership at the end of my enlistment hated me because of my injury and because of that, they made it to where I would not get a medical discharge giving me money monthly. I have tried applying for disability and trying to dispute my case with the VA multiple times but nobody is willing to help, because my military paperwork does not say medical discharge.

And to whoever is reading this and willing to help, thank you so much. I honestly am relying on your kindness to survive right now. Currently I am looking for a job that would fit my needs medically, but in my area there are not a lot of jobs that fit that. These donations would also help me to potentially move to an area that I could find a job to better fit my needs, Thank you again if you made it to the end.

URGENT: I am sorry this is long, but I do not know what to leave out

• Extreme mental and physical health issues prevent me from working consistently
• Cannot afford medical bills, medication, or therapy
• Huge Debts
• Nearly homeless

Hello. My name is Ashley, and I am a 20 year old college student. A few years ago, I never would have imagined I would be needing to ask anyone for money, at least not a lot of money, because I have always been smart with my finances and been able to work, but here I am. For the last three years, my life has been spiraling apart, and I have officially hit rock bottom. My mental and physical health have been failing me, and this has caused my financial situation to plummet. I have zero dollars in my bank account, had to close my savings account, have huge student loan debt, can barely pay rent, cannot afford more to eat than ramen, can barely afford to feed my dogs, and my doctor’s and medication bills are racking up. I find myself feeling more and more overwhelmed to the point where I often wonder about the point of living if I am forever going to be miserable. The only reason I am still here is because of my dogs and the small bit of hope I have left to turn my life around.

My mental and physical health are horrible, and keep getting worse and worse. When it comes to my physical health, the doctors cannot figure out fully what is wrong with me. I have severe chronic body pain and fatigue, digestion problems, chronic migraines that occur several times a month, severe acid reflux, sinus issues bad enough that I have begun loosing my sense of smell, chronic and painful cystic acne, issues with vertigo, numbness and tingling in my hands and feet, and memory issues. This list may seem crazy and random, and that is because it is. It is incredibly frustrating and debilitating to always feel miserable every day but have no answers as to why. I have been to countless doctors and had countless tests done with little results and huge medical bills to pay. If I ever do figure out what is wrong, I am sure whatever the treatment is will cost outrageous amounts as well.

Now, just due to my medical issues, the work I have done in the past to make money as a swim instructor and as a food service worker are extremely stressful on my body, and I am unable to do them anymore. I have no idea even where to start when it comes to work, as I am not very good with logical, technological, mathematical, or organizational based tasks that would involve desk work, and calling people makes me extremely anxious to the point of panic attack.

When it comes to my mental health, I have been diagnosed with major depressive disorder, anxiety, OCD, and ADHD, as well as a learning disability related to math. I take several medications for this, but they can only do so much when your life is constantly full of financial stress and physical pain. Often times, it is hard to even  get out of bed, or I am too anxious to be around people or even talk on the phone. There is little enjoyment in my life, other than what my dogs give me, and everything feels utterly hopeless. I am so constantly overwhelmed, tired, and anxious that it is hard for me to even begin to dig myself out of this financial hole I am in.

My mental health has gotten so bad that I am being forced to take a break from college after failing all of my classes in the last semester due to anxiety and depression getting in the way of me going to class. I have always been an excellent student, having over a 4.0 all throughout high school and even being in the top 10% of my class upon graduating, so this failure really hurts. I have always loved learning, but my mental and physical health, as well as my financial situation have made me dread school and the extra stress it brings. I desperately need weekly therapy, but I cannot even afford the 20 dollar copay needed every time I go. I will not be able to afford to go to my psychiatrist anymore either to keep getting my medication prescriptions. I cannot even afford my medications themselves anymore, and I have no idea what I will do when I run out. Luckily, I do have health insurance through my mother’s work, but I have reached a point where even the co-pay is too much, and that is incredibly overwhelming.

Every time I go looking for jobs, I run across constant roadblocks. Either I cannot physically do them due to my medical issues, my mental health would prevent me from being suitable for the work, I do not have the skills and abilities necessary for the work, or I do not have the qualifying experience or the degree required for the job. Every time I do a job search, it ends in frustration, tears, and panic.

I would ask for help from my family, but they have their own financial struggles, and I would never want to burden them with my problems. They have sacrificed enough for me in my life.

If you have made it through this entire rambling mess, I would appreciate it from the bottom of my heart if you could help me in any way. I owe more than 10,000 dollars just in credit card debt, and my student loans are even worse. It would be even more amazing if I could afford to buy a house for me and my family to live in, to at least confirm I will always have a roof over my head and relieve financial stress from my mom, but I know that is crazy to ask for. I’d be happy even for a few hundred dollars just to buy food for me and my dogs and get into regular therapy. I need to relieve some of this burden and stress, and try to prevent my life from being completely destroyed financially as much as possible, so I can move forward with my life. No matter how much you donate, I would truly be grateful with all my being.

Thank you so much, even if you just read this and listen to my story.

Hi. My name is John.  I’ve always been a hard worker but about a year ago I started having these sensations that the world was moving as if I were on a boat along with debilitating headaches.  I have been to 15 + doctors, about 40 different tests and 100 appointments with no real diagnosis.  So much money spent trying to find out what is wrong

I went from a fully functioning person with a job, family, and friends to being unable to work and out of money. Sadly, when you are down, people start to disappear.  I am alone.

I can’t get disability because they can’t find what is wrong with me.

I have found a doctor who is trying vestibular therapy but I don’t have the money to keep going.

Ive never begged for things but I have to now.  I feel like if I can get my health back, I can get my life back.

Anything will be appreciated and I will send a prayer blessing to anyone who helps.

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to read this! I find myself in a place I never thought I ever would be, asking for help, but I am in desperate need of financial help and I am hoping that you find it in your hearts to help me and my family. So putting aside my pride I am asking to please help me and my family.

I honestly don’t know where to even begin..I am at a loss for words, because the tears are coming down so hard that I just can’t believe I am at this point in my life that it has become this bad. It has taken everything piece of me, my laughter, my smile, my body, my being and I am lost..

Well, here is my story as best as I can tell it at this point.

I  have been struggling with so many medical issues over that last few years but the biggest being Stage IV Melanoma, though first I had stage 2 tumor, then two years later, it came back and came into my lymph nodes in my groin. With all that I was on a full year of chemotherapy. This took everything I had out of me. It was this worst of the worst and I just wanted it all to end, one way or the other. The chemo was $4000 a month and insurance only paid 1/3 of this, on top of hospital bills, doctors, therapy, so on and so forth! On top of all of that, I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, severe depression, chronic pain syndrome, lymphodema in my leg where I can hardly walk, neuropathy and several other issues that have prevented me from returning to work. I have had multiple surgeries over the last few years including a broken ankle and neck surgery. Day after day of doctors, week after week, month after month.. I was always seeing someone for something.

We are over $60,000 in debt due to all of my illnesses, as we have come behind on all of our household bills, loans, credit cards, cell phones, insurance payments, you name it, we owe it. I have such a feeling of guilt over me and feel I have taken everything away from my family because we cannot afford to do anything, have anything anymore because cancer has taken it all away from us. I have no where else to turn and I am asking for help of your donation, whatever that may be, would be so greatly appreciated and would help our family get out life back,

The stress and anxiety that I have over this financial burden that is on me is so overwhelming, I feel like giving up most days. If I could just get some relief, I feel that I would be able to concentrate on my health more and hopefully start feeling better and one day in the future return to work and then I would be able to pay it forward once our family has our life back in order.

I am completely embarrassed to even put this out there for anyone to even know my business, but that is how desperate I am. I have no family or friends to ask that would be in any position to help us and we have no where else to turn. All I can say is please! Please and thank you, I thank you in advance for even reading this, and considering help me. I will be forever grateful for your generosity.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart – Jo

Hello My name is Melissa. I started working at the age of 14 and continued until I was 36.  During this time I suffered 2 strokes as a result of a violent strangulation attack from who I though was a friend and within 6 months was back to my call center job. However at 36 I was diagnosed with a rare bone disease called Avascular Necrosis or AVN for short. I am 43 and I am positive in 8 joints for this disease both wrists, knees, hips and ankles and need joints replaced or removed which because of my age and lack of knowledge of the disease doctors are resisting I did manage to get one knee replaced..but it didn’t go so well and i am now disabled. Due to the fact I worked hard for my working life I have to pay 279$ to the state of Missouri for what is called a spend down…that brings me down from my SSDI income to SSI income..however Snap benefits and section 8 still use my original income to calculate benefits so …I don’t get a lot of help from either. I have been struggling through the last few years trying to just keep going..and to be honest I am tired..tired of being in pain that I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy, tired of going to doctors only to be told yeah no..you have to wait 10 more years though my pain doc says there isn’t more we can do, the appeals to try to get my income adjusted to try to get more benefits..and on top of all of that the only open MRI closed in my town and now where I finally do have a doc to operate at least on my wrists I can get there but the cost to stay the night and food I can’t afford it is 3hrs away and my body cannot handle a 9hr day like that. So what am I asking for..well to be honest..help to make the trip happen for the MRI would be awesome..we have priced that at about 200-250$ depending when I am able to go. But if not even that much every penny I can get that can go toward a bill lets me breathe a little easier..I don’t do anything but eat one hot meal a day and sit on my computer..I have mental illnesses so I don’t go out and really don’t socialize. It would be nice to get a small break from some of the bills so i can get some clothing that fits (I have lost 50lbs in the last 2yrs) or a cane that is covered by medicaid and medicare but no organization will order it because its a rare type and its not in their catalog. I guess all I am asking for is a breather..Each week something new comes up and I fight to get through the best I can for no reason..just that I don’t know anything else TO do. So if my story reaches you I will tell you even .50$ will let me know someone out there read and cared enough to try. Thank you very much for your time and I wish that anyone reading this stays in good health..I would never ever wish this nightmare on anyone.

I am a twenty-six year old college graduate, and I am currently living with my incredible fiancée and our two year old little boy. My partner and I both work hard to try and give ourselves and our son an amazing chance and experience in life. This year at the end of October, 2019 I am having major surgery on my chest. For me, this surgery is not optional. However, this surgery is most certainly not affordable in my current situation. This medical procedure could be life saving for me, and certainly life changing for all of the people heavily involved in my life. However, it is not covered by my insurance and I am being given no choice but to come up with the funds out of pocket in order to have access to this surgery.

The total cost for my needed surgery is going to add up to over $10,500 dollars out of pocket. That cost is not counting the travel costs to go halfway across the country to access this surgery, as well as accommodation to stay in town for two weeks, one before and one after my surgery date for observation. We have been trying to figure out if it would be cheaper to drive to the state my surgery is taking place or to take a plane and fly there. There are pros and cons to both options and, as money is tight in this scenario, we plan to travel this most cost effective way we can find as it dawns closer to the day of my surgery.

Aside from the travel in and of itself, my partner and I would be out of state for several weeks. This would involve my fiancée and I both to take off work for the weeks I would need to be out of state, as well as myself taking off work for at least a full month after the surgery is complete. I’m struggling to come up with the money and can’t afford to take out loans or to not get this life saving procedure. I have been working to save as much money towards this surgery as I am able, however I have fallen incredibly short from the mark and need assistance to make this happen and not be denied or left in debt for the rest of my existence.

I work in a school setting, and while I love working with the children and seeing them learn, grow, and turn themselves into amazing people with unique traits and personalities, my wage is simply not enough to cover bills, family life, and medical expenses when needed. I am hopeful that I will be able to get this surgery and spend many loving years with my small family afterwards.

Please save my family.

This is new to me, to my family. It’s hard to know where to begin or exactly how this works. In spite of the overwhelming stress and lack of hope I feel, I also have a strong feeling of gratitude. If you are reading this, you must be someone just simply looking to help others. That is extraordinary and your selfless acts will undoubtedly change people’s lives. If nothing else, know that I am grateful for the time you give reading this and for your desire to help those in need. Bless you.

It is the greatest joy in my life to be a husband and a father. Simultaneously, it is also frightening and an enormous weight to carry when true adversity strikes. Two years ago my family and I set out for a life changing new adventure and moved across the country not knowing exactly what would unfold before us. We did not know a single person in our new community but we knew we had found home. My wife and beautiful children immediately felt a sense of peace, belonging and even inspiration with this new start. What a relief. Nothing makes me happier than the smiles and laughter of my family.

Shortly after this move we were inspired to open a new business and put all of our efforts into serving our new community. After months of research and due diligence we found the perfect fit for my skillsets and our primary goal to incorporate service into our professional lives. Life was good and my family was thriving.

In that same timeframe we had more opportunity for advocacy work and volunteering. We have a philanthropic passion to end slavery around the world and I have dedicated every free moment of my life to this cause. I serve as a statewide volunteer leader for one of the largest anti-slavery organizations in the world and it has been the most rewarding work I have ever dreamed of. I wish I could continue spending my life saving the lives of strangers.

This upward trajectory of the amazing life my family was experiencing began to shift dramatically a little over one year ago. My incredible wife began experiencing horrific and unrelenting health issues. Suddenly, she was no longer able to consistently care for our children or completely take care of herself. On the bad days she couldn’t do any of it at all. The bad days far outnumber the good days now.

After more than a year of investigation, doctors’ visits, dozens of “specialists” and any so called remedy suggested we are left with too few answers. We know what some of the issues are but not enough to formulate a plan of attack any doctor can agree on. The only consensus from our local doctors seems to be that this is completely out of their depth. It is now recommended we go to the Mayo Clinic to see their specialists and seek proper treatment. Meanwhile, my wife lives in agony and life unravels around us. My children want to know why mommy is in bed all the time and always in pain. We all want to know.

With me having to spend most of my time taking care of my wife and young children our new business has been crippled. Our bank accounts and all our reserves have been completely depleted. Our family is now in crisis and rapidly losing hope. Our closest friends have selflessly given us what they can so we may eat and keep our electricity on but this is not sustainable. Shockingly, we have found the wealthy people we know too afraid to part with any of their excess to save a family so desperately in need.

I now look to the kindness and generosity of strangers, pleading for help. Above all I want to get my wife the help she needs. I need to work so I can provide for my family. I need to pay off our debt so we aren’t choking on credit card bills, medical bills and completely destroying any future our children might have. I need to pay for the medical care she needs which means going out of state to the Mayo Clinic and our insurance will not pay for a dime. Our health insurance only provides coverage in our state.

We are now $43,000 in debt. We have very little income due to me being a fulltime caregiver. I need to pay someone to help my wife while I work and hopefully salvage our business. I need to raise money to travel to Minnesota for a one week stay at Mayo. I need to raise money to pay for those doctors since I have not help from the insurance we have paid thousands for. My prayer, my hope, my plea is that somehow we can raise $70,000 to make this happen.

I have nothing left. Nowhere to turn. Please help.

Thank you.

Hi, I’m Jacqueline…and I’ll state again, I  never thought I’d be here…asking for money. I’m putting aside all my pride and ego, because I’m so lost at this point, I don’t want to stoop to something I’ll regret later on in life.

I’m a 24 year old girl, well, 25 in 2 weeks…with Major Depressive Disorder Which I’ve dealt with for the past 8 years. Everything started last November…I had a good paying job, I was happy. I then lost my health insurance, because I’m considered “medically frail and disabled” I had always been protected under my state’s health program…they discontinued coverage because of my income being over the limit. Mind you, I was being paid well for my family and I’s lifestyle, which is pretty humble and simple, so $15 an hour was decent for me.

Once I lost my insurance, I lost my ability to see my psychiatrist, and my GI…I also have severe chronic IBS, which needs to be kept under control. I used credit to cover medical costs for the first couple of weeks after losing coverage while I tried my best to regain it. Well…those credit cards soon got maxed. I no longer could afford my medication for anything, or even my appointments. I started getting really sick at work by January, extremely sick. I was in so much pain all the time because of my horrible GI issues, and mentally I was distraught. I started having withdrawal symptoms from not taking my anti-depressants, I started missing work, and the cycle began. I ended up losing my job in march of 2019.

I started struggling further and further..I take care of my mother who is very ill. She has rheumatoid arthritis, and I take care of my younger brother who is also disabled. My mother and I recently got bronchitis somehow, and I’m freaking out because I don’t know where or how to get money anymore. I’ve done the loans, I’ve pawned what I could, but nothing is really helping me ge out of this loan. I’m terrified of losing my home…my credit took a hit..it went from 700 down to under 500 in just the past couple of weeks. So when I saw I’m spiraling, I literally mean it. I’m behind on ALL my payments, including mortgage, car note(I only owe 2k on my little car and cant even make a single payment on it) I need medication mostly for my mother right now, I can hold off for a while, but she’s too delicate in health(yes even more than myself) and I’m afraid for her.

I just started working..literally just yesterday..I have 2 more weeks before I get paid, and I’m not even making as much as I originally was, but I don’t think she can wait for medications any longer.

I’m still working my insurance issues out..(Indiana freaking sucks) I have an appointment today because they need to process me through as a disabled working person..because they ‘forgot’ to do so years ago.

I don’t even care about the rest of my debt with my medical bills…I just want to get my mom to get proper care…she almost died pneumonia when I was 11, I don’t want her to go through that again.

All in all, it’s May 28th 2019, I’m asking for donations of any amount. I can tell you all the debt I’m trying to clear before my house or car get taken…my car being the only ride I have to continue working.. I owe 2100 on my car. my Mortgage is behind $1K, my living bills and medical bills add up to about $11K. I’m not asking for you to donate 11K, I’m only asking for help with whatever is possible…even a $1 helps. I’m so desperate and depressed and I feel useless, I don’t understand why this happened to us at such a horrible time. My Bank account is approx. -$140 ..in RED.

And as I’m typing this my mother just asked me if I could take her to the hospital tomorrow morning if she doesn’t feel better…which I obviously will, but I know she’s worried about the cost it will incur..

If you’re reading this, I don’t know if you’re legitimate, if there are any kindhearted people in online that could see this and help, so I’m begging you….please  help me out this crisis. I’ve done everything I can and continue to do so. I just need help with paying bills, I’ll be attaching pictures soon, there are so many bills its ridiculous.

Hello,

My husband and I have always lived paycheck to paycheck and despite that fact, we were always able to pay my bills on time. Recently, my 19 month old daughter came down with an illness that an unvaccinated child brought to her daycare. My daughter is up-to-date on all of her vaccines, yet she still got sick. Because of the unexpected impact of her illness on our finances, we have fallen behind on our bills. We need help catching up otherwise we will continue to be behind. We have health insurance, but there are still amounts we have to pay.

We owe the following amounts:

$2102.83 in combined medical bills for my daughter and I. I had it set up under a payment plan, but they discontinue it once you miss a payment.

130.62 for WE Energies bill.

1040.50 for our mortgage. That amount includes our past due balance of 527.51.

I can provide proof of all of the bills, if needed.

I just need a little help trying to catch up, so I won’t keep falling behind. Any little bit will help.

Thank you,

R.C.S.

I would like to thank all of you who take the time to read this. I have never needed to resort to this before, but I am running out places to look for help, and I’m not sure what else to do, so I am humbled to be here and speak to you.

I have fallen behind on a lot of financial responsibilities; keeping up with rent, student loan payments, credit card payments, my car, standard bills, etc. and I need help at this point to stay on track.

I’ll do my best to give you the best short version of the story I can offer, as not to be long winded. I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis back in 2016. My twin brother was diagnosed back in 2009. Since my brothers’ diagnosis, he has developed several other medical issues that have left him unable to work, so he lives here with me on disability. I am in much better shape than he is with my UC, and I have been blessed so far to keep my ability to work. Because of this, I bring in the majority of the money between the two of us, so I cover anything I can manage. Our rent is $1,200 per month and we’re also responsible for electric on top; about $200-250 per month, depending on the weather. I pay $800 of the $1,200 in rent, $183.86 per month for a student loan payment on almost $5,000 of remaining debt, just over $500 per month in credit card payments, about $100 per month for my car insurance, groceries, etc.

These past few years have been tight, especially this past year. I started to get sick more frequently. I ended up in the hospital for a month back in September of last year, and was out a lot of pay from not working. I went from being 1/3 diseased “left-sided colitis” to 100% diseased “pancolitis” we found out on that stay at the hospital. My treatment was no longer working, and we decided to look into a new treatment. I started building up credit card debt to keep up after getting out of the hospital. My insurance covered what they could from that stay, but I’m still looking at over $16,000 in medical expenses that I’m responsible for.

Things were really bad for me financially for the rest of 2018, and this year has proven to be the year of the snowball effect. I began a treatment called Remicade for my UC, as I’m no longer responding to previous treatment. I have just begun my full dosage after my “warm up” dosages that started back in January. Although Remicade is about $10,000 per infusion, I only have to pay about $200 after they signed me up to a special financial program. I have continued to build up credit card debt, amounting to just shy of $8,000. I ended up back in the hospital for one week in January, and again for two weeks in March, and I just got back out of the hospital again this past week on the 23^rd. I started seeing a rheumatologist for severe pain that I’ve been developing, which looks like something new developing, and the bills keep piling up. I can feel the pressure just rising and rising day by day. Just thinking about how many things there are to take care of is so overwhelming, I just want to curl up in a ball and turn everything off. I can’t get ahead. I went to take out a loan today to consolidate some of the credit card debt and make it easier to pay. I couldn’t even get a loan because my utilization is too high. They offered to look into an option for a secured loan where they would hold my car as collateral, but I drive a 2002 Hyundai, which they weren’t interested in holding as collateral, so I was denied my loan.

My goal is to pay off the credit cards first. Just knocking those out would save me over $500 per month to put towards other debt. I would then take care of my student loan debt, which is about another $200 per month that can be focused elsewhere. Just those alone would provide tremendous relief!

At this point, I am desperate for anything. It doesn’t matter what amount it is. I am grateful for anything anyone can do, and I want to thank you all a million times over for even taking the time to read this. I’ve simply fallen way too far behind, and I can’t bail myself out faster than the water is pouring in at this point. I love my brother, I care about his health more than anything, and I need to continue to support him, and keep our living situation stable. Thank you so much, and all the love in the world to you.

Please save my family.

This is new to me, to my family. It’s hard to know where to begin or exactly how this works. In spite of the overwhelming stress and lack of hope I feel, I also have a strong feeling of gratitude. If you are reading this, you must be someone just simply looking to help others. That is extraordinary and your selfless acts will undoubtedly change people’s lives. If nothing else, know that I am grateful for the time you give reading this and for your desire to help those in need. Bless you.

It is the greatest joy in my life to be a husband and a father. Simultaneously, it is also frightening and an enormous weight to carry when true adversity strikes. Two years ago my family and I set out for a life changing new adventure and moved across the country not knowing exactly what would unfold before us. We did not know a single person in our new community but we knew we had found home. My wife and beautiful children immediately felt a sense of peace, belonging and even inspiration with this new start. What a relief. Nothing makes me happier than the smiles and laughter of my family.

Shortly after this move we were inspired to open a new business and put all of our efforts into serving our new community. After months of research and due diligence we found the perfect fit for my skillsets and our primary goal to incorporate service into our professional lives. Life was good and my family was thriving.

In that same timeframe we had more opportunity for advocacy work and volunteering. We have a philanthropic passion to end slavery around the world and I have dedicated every free moment of my life to this cause. I serve as a statewide volunteer leader for one of the largest anti-slavery organizations in the world and it has been the most rewarding work I have ever dreamed of. I wish I could continue spending my life saving the lives of strangers.

This upward trajectory of the amazing life my family was experiencing began to shift dramatically a little over one year ago. My incredible wife began experiencing horrific and unrelenting health issues. Suddenly, she was no longer able to consistently care for our children or completely take care of herself. On the bad days she couldn’t do any of it at all. The bad days far outnumber the good days now.

After more than a year of investigation, doctors’ visits, dozens of “specialists” and any so called remedy suggested we are left with too few answers. We know what some of the issues are but not enough to formulate a plan of attack any doctor can agree on. The only consensus from our local doctors seems to be that this is completely out of their depth. It is now recommended we go to the Mayo Clinic to see their specialists and seek proper treatment. Meanwhile, my wife lives in agony and life unravels around us. My children want to know why mommy is in bed all the time and always in pain. We all want to know.

With me having to spend most of my time taking care of my wife and young children our new business has been crippled. Our bank accounts and all our reserves have been completely depleted. Our family is now in crisis and rapidly losing hope. Our closest friends have selflessly given us what they can so we may eat and keep our electricity on but this is not sustainable. Shockingly, we have found the wealthy people we know too afraid to part with any of their excess to save a family so desperately in need.

I now look to the kindness and generosity of strangers, pleading for help. Above all I want to get my wife the help she needs. I need to work so I can provide for my family. I need to pay off our debt so we aren’t choking on credit card bills, medical bills and completely destroying any future our children might have. I need to pay for the medical care she needs which means going out of state to the Mayo Clinic and our insurance will not pay for a dime. Our health insurance only provides coverage in our state.

We are now $43,000 in debt. We have very little income due to me being a fulltime caregiver. I need to pay someone to help my wife while I work and hopefully salvage our business. I need to raise money to travel to Minnesota for a one week stay at Mayo. I need to raise money to pay for those doctors since I have not help from the insurance we have paid thousands for. My prayer, my hope, my plea is that somehow we can raise $70,000 to make this happen.

I have nothing left. Nowhere to turn. Please help.

Thank you.

Hi there. My name is Rick. I’m sharing the following in hopes that someone will feel touched/lead to help my wife Sandra and I. Back in 2013 I was working as a caregiver, when I starting experiencing pain in one of my knees. I found out through a series of checkups that I had arthritis in that knee. It wasn’t too much longer in time that I developed arthritis in the other knee. It ended my work career, and I was out of work for one year. Lots of phone calls to work out payments with creditors. My wife was working at that time, thankfully, so we kept up on bills as best we could. I did get disability after some time, and we tried to get caught up on things. Sandra fully retired in June of 2018. So, we come forward to 2018. In December my wife took a fall, within our home, and hit her head into a wall, very hard. I had to have her taken to a local hospital by ambulance. She was then transported to another hospital, to handle her situation. She fractured 2 vertebrae in her neck, and 3 in her upper back. They tried to have bones heal with a long neck/back brace on her for about 4 months. They then did x-rays and found that healing had not happened. 4/26/19 they did the first of 2 major surgeries on her neck, and the 2nd surgery was done on 4/30/19. She was in this hospital for 7 days, then came home. I am the primary caregiver at home, as I was for that 1rst 4 month period. The result so far is that we are paying on 2 different hospital bills, and on an ambulance bill. We have not gotten a total hospital bill, as to her 7-day stay, so that will bring about one more payment. We are trying to keep things paid up but could use some help. I’m also trying to catch up on some credit card balances, as I was out of work for about one year, after I had arthritis, before getting disability. If you can help us, I would greatly appreciate it, and it would be a big blessing to Sandra and I. Thanks in advance.

Hello,

My name is Austin, and last year my wife and I had an incredible opportunity to introduce a beautiful little girl into this world, Lyla. During my wife’s labor, we ran into some difficulties which led into an emergency C-Section. Luckily, my wife recovered well, and our little girl is completely healthy. Fortunately, we have health insurance that paid some of the bill, however with the difficulties added in the labor, and having to remain in the hospital for 4 days after, the medical bill still had to get paid by us, so we placed it on our credit card. What I didn’t realize was how high the APR was and so the interest fees balance out our minimum payments. Right now, I’ve sought to sell some things I no longer use to help pay it off, because this is our last thing before we’re debt free. This being said, we still have a remaining balance of about $5,100 on the card left. Some of this money has been utilized to purchase groceries and gas, but most of it . I figured I’d post this to humbly ask for helm in paying this last balance off in order for my wife and I to finally begin saving money again. Thank you so much for your consideration.

My name is Aydian. I’m doing this to ask for help because I’ve ran out of options. If you can’t tell by the title i am female to male Transgender. I have been my whole life which hasn’t been easy as I am the middle child of 5 and not accepted by a lot of my family. I’ve been on my own since for years now. The most supportive person in my family was my mom. But financially she couldn’t even support herself. I helped pay her bills since 2008 when I was still in school. My mom opened bills in my name and since then they have been been put into collections leaving me living paycheck to paycheck go negative in my bank account every two weeks just to pay these payments. Since then she has passed away at 43 years old on 1/15/2019 leaving me with all this debt. And I live with my disabled non verbal autistic brother that takes most of my money each paycheck from his medical expenses. I’ve been on hormones for 3 years almost that I’ve been able to pay for because that’s the cheapest part of my transition. I’ve had my top surgery that I’m currently doing payments for on a credit card out of pocket. I’ve tried insurance,credit cards,everything to try and find a way to get the money for my final surgery but it’s to much money for insurance or a credit card. The surgery is $120,000 dollars. Since insurance won’t cover any of it. The surgery is called Phalloplasty. I’ve had an appointment with the surgeon that will be doing it but even he said he only had a couple people have insurance coverage for it. My insurance is through my work which I’ve even tried to ask them to cover it but they denied it. I work 160+ hours every two weeks as a provider for special needs individuals. I work 7 days a week and that does help at all I’m stressed to the point I cry and scream because I see myself as a failure I would never ask for help if I wasn’t needed but so I can finally feel happy in my life and pay for my brothers medical bills I need to get mince covered first

I will be forever grateful of anything.

Thank you to anyone that will help!!!

Hello, I appreciate you reading this. My name is Caitlynne, I’m 23, and I am struggling right now. Over the past year and a half, I got $7850 in medical bills after a bunch of gastrointestinal issues where I was not keeping down any food and had to be hospitalized for malnourishment. I also have complex PTSD from childhood abuse which, with all the medical issues, came back in full force and I had to be hospitalized a second time due to suicidal thoughts.

To make matters worse, when I applied for a $5000 loan, I was scammed. I did my research and the company looked reputable, but I was being contacted by someone pretending to be them. They asked for a few google play gift cards after doing a “Credit boost” even though I have decent credit and their deposit ended up not going through and so I was out $1,000. The person then took almost $3,500 of my personal money out of my checking account, making me so broke I’ve barely been eating. I work as a medical transcriptionist but am not able to make enough to pay my medical bills and living expenses. I absolutely hate to be asking for money but I’m at a loss on what to do. I don’t want to apply for another loan and my parents are out of the picture. I so appreciate anything you’re able to contribute and will be sure to pay it forward once I have found my footing again.
