My story… My name is Stacy. I’m a single mother to my beautiful sarcastically witty 11-year-old daughter. I’m also a full-time college student. My major is Integrative Health Practitioner. Which is much different than the career I had been doing the last 6 years or the 27 years before that. I was a Cosmetologist and then in Property management for tax credit communities. As of lately I have not been able to gain employment and the last time I had a full-time job was in February and have not been able to pay my mortgage since May. It appears the universe has put forth obstacles in my path that steer me away from that line of work. Brace yourselves and hold on tight cuz your in for a ride in “The Days of Stacy’s Life”

It was a chilly day in February when I received the email for an invitation to interview for Property Manager at a community in downtown Denver. I was so excited! It was a phone interview but I made a great impression because I was to have my in-person interview the next day with a PM who would be training me. It was a great success and I got the job! On my 2^nd day, Valentines Day, I left work to attend my daughters V-Day party. So much fun watching the children pass around their gifts and grubbing on pizza. That evening I started to feel sick. Headache, nasal congestion, hard to breath, body aching. I’m also a diabetic which makes it hard to take OTC meds. I couldn’t go in the next day. I went to the Dr. so I could be tested for Covid. Thank God it was Negative. But I was not getting any better. One day turned into 2, 3, 4. I went back to the DR. At this point work wouldn’t let me back without Dr. note but I needed relief as well. Got meds and was able to work for all of one week. Then, I slipped on my floor landing on my wooden rolling cart. The corner went right into my ribs. That was just as pain-full as when I broke them in my late twenties. Went to the Dr and my ribs were severely bruised. No work for 2 weeks and then see how I was feeling before I was to be released to work. You could hear the frustration in my boss’s voice. I was let go. Right at the 8-week mark was when I felt well enough to start applying for a job. Till I went to my 1^st Nuggets game with a friend. That night after the game we were walking down the stairs and I slipped and fell and hit the left side of my face against the wall. I fought the wall and the wall won. I couldn’t apply for jobs for over a month. My face was swollen and I had the biggest black eye! That was in April and my brow bone still hurts. As soon as I could cover it up with make-up, back to finding a job. I still don’t have a job. Not for no lack of trying. That’s when I had my Ahha moment. I’m a natural healer with no prior studies. That moment I decided to accept my calling and enroll into college. Scary since it was 2001 since I had been to college. I’m proud to say that I finished Summer quarter with a 4.0! Sadly, I still have no job and the mortgage hasn’t been paid. I’m on public assistance, for food and medical and a program that payed my utilities. I’m trying to find funds for the balanced owed, which is up to $7885.95 but I need funds that cover enough for my mortgage for next month which brings the total to $9748.62. Class starts up again on 8/21. I’m certain I will find a job that will work with my class schedule and I can resume payments. I’m grateful for all that I have. Especially my daughter. I just prefer not to lose the only home she knows. Her father, my ex-husband is an amazing man but he barely makes enough to survive, let alone give me money. He pays her tuition, child care and health ins. Till we got Medicaid. I know there are kind hearted people who will help us before it leads to the big F. I truly am grateful for all who can help us. Be Blessed and Be A Blessing with Love & Light.

Hello, I am a firefighter-nurse, single mom of one kid that is pleading for your help. A lot has happened to me within the last year. I bought my house on July 2022, my house got hit by hurricane IAN in September 2022. There was moderate damage to my house and unfortunately the insurance is not paying the claim. I work full time as a firefighter, and as a register nurse. Most of my life I had two to three jobs to be able to have a decent life. Due to the storm, I was not able to get back to my house for 4 months, the island did not have water, or electricity and repairments needed to be done in the house. Consequently, I lost my nursing job working from home and it has been very difficult to get another job as a nurse. Now, with my firefighter salary only, I live paycheck by paycheck. I am behind on my bills, my mortgage. I used all my savings to fix the house. I commute 2.5 hrs to go to work, I couldn’t afford to buy a house on the east coast where I work as a firefighter.

When I was younger, I always wanted to be a journalist and work in TV. I got pregnant at a very young age and needed to make a living to raise my child. I got into the medical field because of necessity. Don’t get me wrong, it has been a rewarding career, but the truth is, it does not pay to save lives. Now, here I am hoping you can help me, I just need a little break.  If you can please find it in your heart to help me at this difficult time I would be so deeply grateful to you.

I do not want to lose my house.

Thanks in advance for your generosity.

My name is Debbie, and am a new resident to Florida. I moved through my work, sold my house and purchased a Condo here. Everything was wonderful. Then we had the hurricane come through the Tampa area last summer and everything changed. My homeowners insurance doubled, my condo fees went up $150 per month, car insurance increased but at the same time my employer put a freeze on overtime and no raises until “further notice”. I am 61yrs old, and have worked my entire life since I was 16. Raised 4 children, and am now helping to raise & support my 2 grandchildren, who have ongoing health issues. My 16yr old grandson is hard of hearing and must use hearing aids, and my 6yr old granddaughter was born with a bilateral cleft palate. She has had multiple surgeries to correct it, but is now coming up on her next set of skin grafting surgeries to finally repair the inside of her mouth, and dental work to correct her top teeth that are pushed back and can not currently be used to chew properly. I am now “door dashing” to try and supplement my income while I look for a second job. I can now just make my monthly bills on my own, but I got behind on my mortgage and my mortgage company is now demanding payment in full to bring my mortgage current, or will forclose! If this happens, I will have lost everything I have worked so hard for. I am so depressed and stressed out and my back is against the wall, and I have tried everything I can think of, even a second mortgage, heloc or refinance, but nobody will help while I am delinquent on my existing mortgage, even though I have plenty of equity in my home. I am asking for just enough to bring my mortgage current which is $2110. I have nobody down here to ask for help, and am very alone. I am just hoping against hope that somebody will have been in my shoes and have enough empathy and understanding to give me the boost up that I need so I can get a fresh start. Thank you so much for at least considering helping.

Hello, I hope all is well. I’m a single female that has recently had my niece and nephew placed with me through an unfortunate situation with DCS. With the addition of the kids so abruptly, I have had a very rough month getting this balanced. I am 2 months behind on my mortgage as of yesterday. I’m going to be completely honest, being single, supporting myself was never a problem but acquiring 2 children under the age of 4 with no prep time has been a struggle. I’m asking for $2446.92 for the 2 months I am behind on the mortgage, nothing more. I have been working with an adviser to adjust to the change in circumstance, I’m just asking for some help to get back on my feet. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for any help or consideration.

“Against all odds, I fought my way back from the brink of death. Now, burdened with debt, I need your support to rebuild my life. Please help me overcome this financial struggle and continue my journey towards recovery.”

My name is Daryl Benjamin, a hardworking truck driver, I found myself in a terrifying situation one sunny afternoon. As I was about to drive my truck, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my chest and struggled to catch my breath. Realizing something was seriously wrong, I quickly called for an ambulance. Within minutes, the paramedics arrived and rushed me to the nearest hospital (CHRISTIANA HOSPITAL). The doctors and nurses immediately sprang into action, performing a series of tests to determine the cause of my distress. It was soon discovered that I had a blood clot in my lungs, a condition known as pulmonary embolism (PE). The next few days were a blur for me as I fought for my life in the hospital. I was hooked up to various machines, receiving oxygen and medication to dissolve the clot. The doctors and nurses worked tirelessly to stabilize me and provide the necessary treatment. During the time in the hospital, it took several weeks to start feeling ok, thanks to prayers from family members and friends. Now going through what I have been through I have now currently a major Hernia (FROM GOING UNDER GUT TO GET BLOODCLOT) also left me with neuropathy in feet. After leaving the hospital and going in rehab my dept has accumulated immensely, reaching. 35k total dept regarding mortgage, kids, hospital bills, electric, and all credit cards which by now been charged off, I’m officially at ROCK BOTTOM with an amazing testimonial of my story THAT GOD IN CONTROL. In conclusion, my journey through the harrowing experience of pulmonary embolism has left me in a state of financial need. Despite the challenges I have faced, I remain grateful for the support I have received thus far. My story serves as a reminder of the importance of compassion and assistance in times of crisis. With the help of generous individuals like yourself, I can continue my recovery and rebuild my life. Together, we can make a difference and provide the financial assistance I so desperately need. LET’S DO THE POSSIBLE AND GOD WILL DO THE IMPOSSIBLE.  Thank You. 

Greetings to all the philanthropists. Many big thanks in advance to anyone who decide to help me. I use to donate my time, money and labor to others as well as often as I can. My last food donation for the community was January 2023. Unfortunately, I’ve been having many challenges every since my dad passed late Feb 2023. My only sister passed in late 2021, I took my dad in a week after she passed but placed him in a nursing home for that week and this gave me time to find in home help but I discovered I had May-Thurner syndrome, then the small ulcer on my left ankle became bigger and bigger and my muscle spasms and leg pain increased as well. I had 3 stents place in my pelvis and my in home caregiver left the day after my stent placement, I couldn’t stand up completely straight but what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger right? I was also having my dead veins removed from my left leg to help with the ongoing pain. After the Surgeon explained what it will be like for me after the other 3 leg procedures, I had to place my dad in the nursing facility until after I heal a bit but I of course was still working and having procedures with a few days off work after each procedure. Basically I had the 3 stents put in but 2 more procedures on my left leg. The Vascular Surgeon office, let me go as a patient due to my health insurance not paying but the reality is, my insurance company stated that the Dr. office billing department was billing incorrectly and they submitted a letter to their office explaining this and for them to call them if they need assistance. But instead the Vascular Surgeon billing department emailed me and called me and the insurance company was not happy about this at all. So I have another procedure that needs to get done on my right leg. That was a little over a year ago and it was just yesterday, we (the referral coordinator and I) discuss this matter being resolved so my veins can be monitored by the same physician (and this is my primary physician request) she even called the Vascular Surgeon Dr office a few months ago because she couldn’t believe they let me go due to an issue that was on their end and had nothing to do with me, yep they cancel me a day or two before my schedule procedure in the Surgeon office who I was seeing on a weekly basis due to my wound care progress. I apologize for such long details but this been quite a journey and with my sister gone, I have no one to talk to. And our dad was old enough to be our granddad so I gave myself 5 months to heal before bringing my dad back home but I decided to discharge my dad from the nursing facility after he fell ill and even though I visited my dad 3-4 times a week multiple times a day and brought him home with me when I was able to after the procedures or if COVID restrictions in the facility wasn’t an issue. I sometimes visit my dad just to lay eyes on him and he didn’t know I was there. That could been my 3rd visit. I wasn’t use to being not with him because we all had lived together recently before my sister past. My sister and dad was suppose to move in with me. So after visiting my dad and seeing his food sitting in front of him and him wide awake with his head dropped and too weak to fed himself and the caregiver standing next to me saying Oh yeah, he’s going down now. Then I contacted the VA social worker told them I want my dad out of here ASAP. He’s coming home to be with me. I fed my dad who ate everything and he had to be hungry because he ate both of the dry bread on the plate so then I was exhausting my self more because I was visiting my dad much more to make sure he ate all of his meals when I wasn’t working and within a week he was home with me. The caregivers I interviewed to work with my dad didn’t show up to work nor did they answer their calls, yes it was multiple, so sad how things has become for our geriatric and care in general so the second weekend I had to quit my job and I don’t regret it because for over 24 years I cared for other people and their families I was not going to let my dad not get stellar care giving treatment from me. My boss seem to be understanding, after all, I helped her fill her beds in her facility when COVID was rapid. When her staff left her on the other facility, I stayed to help her with the other facility. I won certificates as a traveling male caregiver throughout Pinellas County. When I had my own non medical agency, we also had high recognition as one of the top 5 providers in the county out of 150 agencies. We was known as the “Emergency Clean Up Agency”. Someone also voted our company the Best Healthcare place to work for in 2010. So the caregiver didn’t realize I was no fool. I know in there mind if someone is on Hospice then once they are sick, they will neglect or rather in there mind consider there days are gone and not attempt to feed or offer them foods. My dad did pass but it was a month later in his home, in his bed, an hour after he ate his lunch and he ate all of his meals every since he came home with me. So my conscious is clean, he sing songs, he watched movies, he was happy to be home with me and that is what matters most to me even now going through everything. But I had to quit my job and my position was placed by 2 caregivers.  So yes I am a hard worker. And it is understandable for my ex boss to run her company. My dad passed before I could get any compensation for caring for him through the VA. I used my savings for the care of my dad funeral expenses and our bills and had to hold on for the months ahead until I found another job which I’m still searching for. My mortgage is behind, I was fortunate to get a forbearance but it is almost up, both of my bank accounts are negative with one -$500 something and the other -$600. All of my credit cards are negative. My car has been in the repair shop for 2 months now. First 3 weeks were misinformation from the warranty company not understanding what the repair shop owner was explaining to them, which is “how can I give you a quote for an engine that no longer exist” so I got more involve with them for breaking this information down and making sure it’s documented in car warranty notes, this was almost a 2 weeks process. Yea it was stressful. I called the repair shop owner a few weeks ago, he said I would have my car the following week but that was now 2 weeks ago, he also said during 2 weeks ago he had an emergency surgery on his appendix, I told him I understand life happens I just need to know what’s going on because the car loan company has been calling me so yes my car is 3 months behind payments, tomorrow or by today I need to make a decision to pay my car insurance or just start over. I’m thinking because my water bill is overdue and I barely made my PayPal account payment this month. I have til end of August to catch up on my Mortgage payments and they said I need to pay the rear payments in full. That’s about $8k needed. My credit cards about $9k needed. I shared with Car Loan guy yesterday, it’s less stressful to just give them their car back and I’ll go from there. Something how you can be faithfully making payments for years but miss one or two payments and you can loss what you thought was yours. I just don’t want a suspended license due to type of work I might qualify for. I borrowed $500 from a friend of mine a few weeks ago. So I’m thinking to pay partial water bill and use my ‘bonus points credit card check’ I’ve been holding on to for my car warranty deductible payment to just pay my car insurance in hopes of finding a job within the month. Feels like the car loan are going to take the car regardless and I have prepared my mind for that. The day I purchased $774 of new tires for my vehicle, the engine goes out and I need front brakes badly over $500.  I again apologize for such a long story but it’s been one thing after the next. I’m grateful the warranty approved the engine. Thank you for having a platform like this for those of us who find ourselves finally needing help or finding the nerves to finally ask for help. Any help I would be grateful for. Many thanks again.
