Hello Friends-

My name is Michael. I am a 70 year old quadriplegic in a power wheelchair. My existing wheelchair is in dire need of replacement. It has serious mechanical and computer issues. As it essentially functions as my legs to move around in it needs to be dependable and safe. It is neither.

So utilizing my Medicare I began the many layered system to acquire its replacement. My insurance plan required Dr appointments and evaluation, occupational therapy evaluation, and a home evaluation. These have all been completed and approved. That brings me to the reason I’m here.
I’m looking for help with the $3748.00 copay to start production of my new chair. I live in an 50 year old mobile home with my nephew who functions as my caregiver. Utilizing a power lift he gets me up and ready every day. I spend 12-16 hours a day in my chair so comfort, reliability and safety are crucial.

We are living solely on my only income from Social Security. So making it just month to month can be challenging and it takes every penny to pay rent, electricity, Dr visits, food and utilities. I worked 38 years trying to be a productive person and would really like to finish out my years in safety and as much comfort as I have left in this well used old body of mine

I appreciate your time to read my short story and consider the positive impact you can have for small investment.

I want to say thank you in advance for any small assistance you may seem fitting to donate. It is something I’d be extremely and eternally grateful for.

Hello,

To whom it may concern. (?) I apologize Ive never done anything like this before I just learned of this website but I thought what the heck I have nothing left to lose at this point.

I am reaching out for assistance today because I am at the lowest point I think I’ve EVER been in my 54 years of existence. I NEVER saw this coming, believe me!

I also am not sure WHICH category to put this in as it relates to SO MANY different types! But here’s the story:

For the most part I thought things were going pretty good over the years. I was with my wife for 33 years, we had two beautiful children & during the first half of their childhood we were doing well.

But then there came some addiction issues, which, hey who hasn’t had that right? Well for me it started from my chronic pain in my neck that nobody could figure out so they just kept me on Oxy. Long story short this progressed over the next few years until I/we finally got handle on it. So that’s GREAT!

HOWEVER – shortly after I was back on my feet I was diagnosed with laryngeal cancer. I had NEVER EVEN HAD a surgery prior to this! Needless to say there were MANY surgeries to follow (& procedures) so NOW I am ‘disabled’ as they had to remove my larynx (voice box) to remove all of the tumor. So in the next couple years as I am trying to adjust to this new life I start having trouble swallowing & notice my neck is tilted more & more. After a lot of consultation it turns out I had contracted a SUPER DANGEROUS & RARE condition called Basilar Invagination.

So after YET ANOTHER HUGE long dangerous surgery to try to correct it, they were able to somewhat secure it but could not fix my head/neck angle.  It at least fixed the majority of the excruciating pain I was in, but I am NOW STUCK in this position  with a tilted head, a hole in my throat, sometimes struggling to breathe & STILL cannot eat whole foods. I am getting my nutrition from a g-tube, it’s been 3 years now since I’ve eaten real food! 😡 Not to mention ALL the little things I lost during all of this: the ability to smell, to cry, to laugh! Half of my body is numb – in the weirdest places!

Needless to say I cannot go back to working a ‘9-5’  I have been working my BUTT OFF to try to get an online affiliate marketing business off the ground but to avail as of yet – not one sale! Well at first I was FIGHTING my wife every step of the way because she didn’t believe in it – thought everything was a scam, wouldn’t let me spend ANY money on it.

Oh and also just as of last year my lovely wife decided she just couldn’t do it anymore! So now we are separated on our way to divorce & I am TRYING to figure out how to survive alone on JUST my meager disability check, all while trying to pay these outrageous medical bills  WHICH – since we split she lost her job & therefore I lost my health insurance coverage (was covered under her employer group plan). She ALSO had refused to help me pay down any of our credit card debt.  You see I had JUST paid off all our debt with an inheritance I received but SINCE THEN I got scammed (yes it’s true) & unfortunately most of that money came from that credit card.  So according to her – it’s ‘all mine’, even though she had used it plenty also! And in fact had used our OTHER card for her rent down payment for her new apartment when we split!

So ANYWAY as you can see I am left here, at 54 years old TRYING to rebuild my life as a disabled, single, BROKE man that is stuck staying with his 76 year old mother!!

NOT COOL!! If I could just get the debt paid off ($21K) and maybe a little capital for my business and a place to live I figure I MAY just have chance.  Oh because I’m ALSO trying desperately to get this business going because my son is also in a tight financial jam at the moment & I’m trying HARD to help him out of it as well. Because of the fact that I have guilt from everything I missed when they were teenagers

So there’s my SOB story for what it’s worth  But I mean I’m sure you hear them all the time all day long.

This is just a new concept for me and I am LITERALLY at the end of my rope so I figured – what can it hurt? 🤷

Thank you for listening! I appreciate you all! God bless.🙏

**Help Michelle Heal After a Life-Altering Accident**

 

Dear kind-hearted strangers,

 

I am reaching out to you today with a heavy heart to share the story of my dear friend Michelle and her dog Ally. On what began as a beautiful afternoon, Michelle and Ally set out for a simple stroll, eager to enjoy the sunshine and fresh air with her beloved puppy by her side. Little did she know that this seemingly ordinary day would turn into a life-altering experience.

 

As they walked along the sidewalk, a motorized scooter came barreling into her, sending her crashing down onto the hard pavement. The heartless and reckless motorist responsible for this accident didn’t even stop to check on her, they left her lying there, injured and in desperate need of help. Michelle sustained two compound fractures and a shattered kneecap, injuries that will surely change her life forever.

 

The pain was unimaginable. Michelle found herself in the hospital for 23 agonizing days, undergoing three surgeries to reconstruct her leg. In the first two surgeries they reconstructed her kneecap and shin bone with a steel plate and screws, after which her leg was left open for 14 days to drain properly. The final surgery, a grueling six-hour procedure, involved reattaching her leg muscles and closing the wound with 92 stitches. The physical toll has been immense, but the emotional and financial burden have just begun.

 

Today, Michelle faces not only the long road to recovery but also the staggering medical bills. The cost of her hospital stay alone amounts to $22,832, and her puppy, who was also injured in the accident, requires veterinary care costing an additional $3,800. This unfortunate incident has left Michelle with a profound sense of trauma, pain, and a financial hardship that feels insurmountable.

 

While I cannot erase the pain or trauma she has endured, I am hoping to help lighten her burden. It seems like she is becoming depressed and hopeless about all the bills coming in. I am asking for your support to help Michelle focus on her healing journey rather than the overwhelming financial strain allowing her to concentrate on what truly matters—recovering and regaining her strength.

 

If you can, please consider donating. Your generosity, no matter how small, will make a difference in Michelles life. Let’s come together to show her that she is not alone in this fight.

 

Thank you for your kindness, support, and prayers during this difficult time.

Hey everyone,

I hope you’re doing well. I wanted to share a bit about where I’m at lately. Things have been really challenging, and while I’ve been doing my best to keep going, I could use some support as I work through this tough stretch.

I’m currently out of steady work but actively job hunting and doing odd jobs wherever I can. At the same time, I’ve been trying to pursue formal diagnoses for ADHD, OCD, and Autism which is something my therapist recently encouraged me to do. Understanding how these conditions affect my daily life could be a game changer, but unfortunately, evaluations, especially for Autism, are expensive and often not covered by insurance. The costs are simply more than I can manage right now, but this step feels incredibly important for my long-term well-being and growth.

On top of that, I’m also caring for my cat, Arya, named after the fierce and loyal Arya from Game of Thrones. She’s been a constant source of comfort for me through everything. Recently, she started developing urinary crystals, and her treatment involves daily medication and a specialized prescription diet to prevent further issues. The food alone costs about $45 for a 4-pound bag, and it adds up quickly. I’m doing everything I can to keep her healthy, but the expenses are piling up.

If you’re in a position to contribute financially, even a small amount would go a long way. Your support would mean so much to me during this time. If donating isn’t possible, simply sharing this message with others would still be incredibly helpful.

Thank you for reading and for being in my corner. It means more than I can say.

With deep appreciation,
Anthony

Hi there!

I am indeed seeking a substantial amount for a surgery that was deemed medically necessary to ease the constant pain in my bones, but I would like to explain the entire story.

When I was a kid in high school, I was always complaining about my legs and arms hurting, and at the same time my mom was concerned because I was not growing at the same rate as the other kids were. When we went to go get me tested, the HGH (human growth hormone) lab results showed that my HGH levels were stuck at 0.1 on a scale of 1-6. The doctor suggested growth hormone injections, but my mom was too scared of the risks involved. That being said, we did nothing, and for the next 17 years, I suffered in physical pain while being stuck at a height of 5’3″.

When I turned 18, I went to go see the HGH specialist myself for the HGH injections, and she said that since my growth plates had closed, all the injections would do would promote facial and body hair and probably make me mean. She said to relieve the pain in my arms and legs from the HGH deficiency would be through limb lengthening surgery.

Last year, the pain got so bad, I had to go see a specialist about getting it done through my insurance. Dr. Anton Plakseychuk; he trained under the man that invented the surgery in the 50’s. He said that since the HGH deficiency is causing me pain, we need to look into getting it done. We initially started looking into getting it done in the arms first and then the legs, but after some talking, we decided only the legs because since I use them to walk constantly, they cause me the most grief.  So he referred me to the Rubin’s Institute for Advance Orthopedics for the limb lengthening surgery.

I spoke with Dr. Michael Assyag, and he said if I was referred to them by Plakseychuk, the surgery IS medically necessary, and if I could fetch him the lab result from when I was 13, a current HGH lab result, x-rays of my legs, and a written letter of referral, lose 30 pounds, he could get insurance to pay for the surgery.

After running around for over a month, gathering all the documents he requested, basically starving myself in the process, I got all the documents, I lost the weight, and when he submitted it to insurance, they denied it because too many people use the surgery for vanity reasons. I appealed their decision, and was once again denied. Then I filed for an outside appeal, and the board said that the surgery is elective, and my insurance does not need to pay for it.

After all the painkillers I’ve taken coupled with physical therapy, genuinely NOTHING kills the pain. Right now, I’m 30 years old, and my clock is ticking. I have looked into getting the surgery done outside of the US, and Turkey looks like a prime option. Their success rates are through the roof high, their level of care is amazing, and the cost is less than half of what clinic in the US charge. I have a passport, and I am ready to accept the 7 weeks in Turkey followed by the one year recovery time back here. But the clinics do not accept payments. They won’t do the surgery till it’s paid in full, and I do not have the $89,000 on hand.

So there it is. I am asking for $89,000 to travel to Turkey and have a quadrilateral bone lengthening surgery done to end the 17 years of constant pain in my legs. If you want, I will be more than happy to provide the documents, lab reports, x-rays, anything you want so you know I’m not lying. I just want to walk without pain is all.

Thank you for your time.

Hello, and thank you for reading my story.

I’m a single mom who’s been trying to recover from the long-term effects of COVID and a rare complication that caused permanent nerve damage in my face. Which can be seen in my profile picture. I am not smirking, I just can’t lift the right side of my face. I was on short-term disability for a while, which helped a little, but it wasn’t enough. Medical bills piled up, and I had to rely on credit cards and loans just to keep up with everyday life.

Now I’m facing over $6,000 in medical debt and $20,000 in loan/credit card debt. I’ve created a Fundly campaign to help get back on my feet, and I’m also sharing my PayPal for anyone who prefers direct support.

I am two months shy of my 60th birthday. I am going in for kidney stone surgery. Because i don’t have any employer insurance, i will have to pay the full amount out of pocket. Working as a janitor full time you don’t really have health insurance. They hire you as an independent contractor unless you work for the state or the city. I have worked my whole life cleaning toilets on my hands and knees.

I wouldn’t say it was fun, but it passes time. However, with the chronic pain of kidney stones not to mention hemorrhoids, i had to prematurely end my days as a cleaner. The constant turning and twisting has been for me, unbearable. I really can’t afford to retire at 62 since i have not made a lot of money in my lifetime. I am asking for 250 thousand dollars to get me through this next ten year period. I have tried to change career fields but no one will even give me a shot since all i have ever done is clean.

I am coming to this site because of the name “Begging for Money”. All my life i thought i don’t need anybody and then you get humbled by life. I was born in Tennessee and moved to Alabama when i was four. All my life, my dream was to get back to birthplace and live my dream in my home state of Tennessee. I took care of both my parents in Alabama moving back from the state of Tennessee. It was the most important thing  i have ever done in my life. I would have regretted it my whole life if i had not stood up. After they both died, i was able to buy a modest house in the state of my beloved Tennessee.It is paid for but i won’t be able to keep it with all these medical bills. I will have to go back to Alabama and live in a pool house with my sister constantly being reminded that i should never left in the first place. Ever since I was four, my dream was to come back to paradise. I will never be able to get back again. I simply don’t have the money. Rent is too high and so are utilities. Will i die? Of course not. Will i be living on the street? Of course not. But my spirit will be broken and how happy a life can you lead with a broken spirit? I beg you blessed people, please help me live out my dream of living out whatever is left of my life in my “paradise”.

 

Greetings dear good people. My name is Jim.  I so wish I was on the other side of this situation.  I would rather be helping people rather than asking for help. (which is very hard for me).

My wife and I are retired nurses. We spend more that 40 years serving others and it was very satisfying.  During our life we experienced many challenges.  Our  3rd child had open heart surgery at 1 month old.  She is now very healthy now.  My wife, Erin, experienced 3 auto accidents (none her fault).  One resulted in spinal surgery to the neck.  She now has life long chronic pain.  My self…I’ve had surgery on both shoulders, right shoulder replacement, right knee replacement, Widow maker heart attack.  This followed with open heart surgery.  This took me out of the work force a couple of years early.  Heart issues comes with frequent medical test and procedures and a lot of medications.  And yes, we have to add the development of type 2 diabetes.

With all this said, we stayed just above water all our lives.  Nothing extra for travel or weekend retreats.  Well, yes we did take the kids on annual vacations to the Smokey Mountains.  We always camped as that was all we could afford.  As I said we managed to keep our heads above water, but now we seem to be losing ground.  We have medical bills that we cannot pay.  A couple of credit cards that I can only make minimal payments.  So those are never going to go away.

We are preparing to move in our forever home.  We barely made the financial requirements.  I’m sure this will not be my forever home for too many more years as my health dictates differently.  I do not want to leave my wife and/or children with any unpaid bills.  I’d like to go out with a clean bill…

If you find my story worthy of your help, and God bless you for what you do, I would painfully ask for $20,000 to clear all my debts…and maybe a little left over to take that week-end get-a-way.

Thank you so much,

James (Jim) Skinner

I’m reaching out to share a deeply personal journey and to ask for your support. I’m currently living with lupus, an autoimmune disease that has significantly impacted my health — especially my kidneys. Recently, my condition has required treatments and medications that aren’t fully covered by insurance, placing a financial strain on both me and my family.

Managing this illness comes with ongoing and often overwhelming costs — from medications and lab work to doctor visits and transportation. That’s why I’ve created this fund: to help cover these essential medical expenses and maintain my health and independence.

Every donation, no matter the size, brings me one step closer to stability and healing. If you’re unable to give, simply sharing this message means just as much. Thank you for taking the time to read, for caring, and for standing with me in this fight.

 

Sending love and gratitude!

I am no good with words, and find it hard to put my thoughts into an understandable, coherant sentance, but here goes.

I have been struggling with mental health issues for most of my life. Went to therapy for a couple years before I turned 18, and couldn’t afford it without the state footing the bill. Used what I learned to try my best and live a happy life. And it worked for a while.

The next 5-10 years were decent. Only occasionally had dark thoughts, or a mental break. And had people I could rely on in those situations. People I could call, text, or drive and see that had been through the darkness and could help me see the light. Most of those people are gone now. Either ended it themselves, turned to drugs, or passed due to old age. I am left alone dealing with this, and old tools no longer help.

Fastforward to today, and I have suicidal thoughts daily. No matter what goes on in my life, good or bad, my mind makes me think I am not good enough. That the world is better off without me in it, and I hate myself more and more because of that. I can smile and laugh in public, or with friends, but I know it’s fake. A few of the people I hang out with regularly know it is too. One asked “How are you always so happy? Nothing ever seems to get to you? How do you do it?” And I had to tell him that it’s because it’s all fake. Told him I had been depressed since I was 12 and that I would rather those around me laugh and smile then be sad, or pity me, so I mask my thoughts with jokes and smiles. We stopped talking and hanging out after that. I miss him. I try to change my thinking, to motivate myself to seek help, but theres a voice in the back of my mind telling me that there is no use. No one will help me, and I should just end it.

I have been to a few free therapy sessions over the last couple years, and they help, but it’s like painting over a rust spot. Looks great from a distance, but falls apart under inspection. My mental health is affecting my work, to the point that I just want to lay in bed all day and cry.

I just want to be able to be the happy guy I used to be. To be the man I need to be for my family.
