so how does one ask for money? I guess I’ll just put my story out there and see what happens. I’ll start off bout 13 years ago the birth of our youngest child my wife began ended up in bed rest for last 3 months of pregnancy. Since then her health has went down hill and she has been on disability pretty much since then. My kids have pretty much never know their mom healthy. Now that’s not the reason I’m asking for money. I’ve been a construction worker since I was 19years old, almost 24years..I make good money but my health is starting to not allow me to do the same work. I just was released from hospital last night after dealing with my second heat related illness. The short story on what happened I passed out twice, coworkers rushed me to hospital, blood pressure was88/52 (I know) ,body temp was 93.9(I know) my kidneys were in failure ,and I was pretty much out of it. They did a bunch of test(ekg,cat scan,labs) gave me 7! Liters of fluid (2 at a time ) and about 5 hrs later released me. My reason for asking for money is I’m afraid that I can’t keep doing this kind of work .And in turn not make the money I do and start losing everything we have been able to build as a family.not to mention I have three kids a senior, southmore ,and eighth grader and college is creeping around the corner. I don’t have much we have fair amount owed on our mortgage( 126000) and a truck (4800). The rest I have is bought and paid for.Im 42 and have always provided for my family I’m just scared one of these days I may not come home from work and they won’t have nothing but some memories and worry how they gonna stay in the house we love and have grown in. anything would be greatly appreciated ,my goal would to be pay off my house and I could start looking for a career outside of manual labor  and if I don’t make as much no big deal if my house payment is gone.

My name is Myrtle Kee. I am a widow and will be 65 years old in September of this year. When my husband passed I helped people with insurance money I received until I too found myself in financial need. I have two great-grand children and their mom living with me. I got behind in my mortgage the early part of this year. My friends and my church tried to assist me while I waited on a home modification loan as I was headed for foreclosure. When I did get the modification it was three hundred dollars more than what I was paying. It is now 1,700 a month. I’ve been trying to pay it  but I have had enormous water bills that off set me with my mortgage. I paid 504 dollars recently to have my water turned back on, only to have a new bill of 627 due and payable by the the next 2 weeks. There was not a visible leak and I could not afford to pay a plumber. Have turned off valves and use water when needed until I can get a plumber out here. Trying to keep my head above water but it is very difficult. I need help with getting ahead with my mortgage and my bills. I am also having a debt judgment entered against me for 12,000 for a car that was voluntary turned in as a repo. Any monetary assistance would be greatly appreciated.

First, thank you for reading. Time is money and money is time. I mentioned in the title of this request “that I’ve done it by the book” and I truly have (at least I think that I have). I entered undergrad upon graduating from high school, graduated ug in 4 years, magna cum laude, entered a job in my field months after graduating (social services field) and eventually earned a master’s degree. I have been financially independent…never asking my parents for a dime…after all, they did their part by raising me in a stable, 2 parent household. I’ve held legitimate employment, given 110% to my employers and been thankful for every opportunity that I have been given.

I am not a big spender, I’ve worked up to 3 jobs at a time and had the same car 13 years after graduating from undergrad.  Yet, I’ve  still managed to miss the mark. I have never married. I am single and I have no children. Oftentimes I regret some of my life’s decisions because I feel utterly alone, but I do have my dog’s unconditional love. For that I am thankful. My family and I have been estranged for the past 6 months because they found out that I am a lesbian. They are very religious and proud. I believe I have embarrassed them, despite the things I have achieved.

I managed to make it through a layoff but it set me back some.

At this moment, I find myself needing $3500 to catch up on my mortgage. Any help will be appreciated. Easing this burden will help with my depression and anxiety.  I know it isn’t the end of the world if things continue to sour… but I am afraid to find out.

Asking others for help is extremely difficult for me but maybe the universe is allowing me to learn through this process. If you feel inclined to help me, my cashtag (via cashapp) is $energyascurrency

Thanks again for reading. The very act was kind. Light and love to all souls. I look forward to paying it forward soon.

The image I attached was one of the last communications I shared with my father before he learned about my lifestyle. It means a lot to me. Thanks again.

I never thought I would be doing this but I need help! 

I’ve been trying to consolidate my bills into one loan because I’m drowning in debt!  No one will do it because my credit score keeps dropping because of my debt! I’ve always been good about paying my bills but funeral expenses, medical bills, car repairs, emergency home repairs have led me to this point. I’m behind on my house and car payments. I  work like crazy but not making a dent because my money is not working for me because of soul-crushing interest. I need to pay off about $20,000 which would be life-changing right now.! I’m grateful for any help right and I will pay it forward!

It has been a rough few years for my mother and I.  Our financial security was upended when my dad / her husband passed away unexpectedly.  Shortly afterwards, my grandmother (my mom’s mother) had a stroke and within a few weeks it was obvious she needed to be placed in an assisted living community. The loss of my father’s income and the mounting cost to care for my grandmother put a serious strain on our finances as we bounced from one credit card to the next.

And then out of nowhere my ex-wife hit me with a court motion for full custody of our son.  What had been a relatively peaceful agreement for almost 10 years suddenly became this looming cloud in or lives.  Lawyers are expensive and navigating custody territory without one is just asking to lose.  We scraped up everything we had left to put towards the lawyer, and the scary part is that with delays and continuances we may need even more.

We have been desperately struggling for the last 6 or 8 months just to say afloat.  Almost everything than can affect us has – massive health insurance costs, rising property taxes, and any number of things have whittled away our cash flow and robbed us of many simple pleasures.  One of our biggest issues is credit card debt, incurred mostly due to the upfront costs of housing my grandmother and paying for the lawyer.

We are at a point where we are simply out of money to deal with all of these expenses at once.

Every day bankruptcy looms closer.  We’ve had so much it at once time that we are unable to keep up.  What we need is a helpful push in the right direction.  Whether it’s enough to scrape by another month or a larger amount to actually help us pay down the enormity of our debt, at this rate anything would provide us with some measure of relief.

Please help us maintain our roots and return to some semblance of a normal life, especially with the involvement of a child.

My apologies for the odd PayPal link.  I had it connected to a blog as another means of passive income.  Rest assured any and all donations of any amount will be treasured and made use of.  Donate here: paypal.me/mytoyblog

I hate to have to do this but my family needs help catching up our mortgage to keep our home. I work a full time job and my husband has his own business. Due to theft that happened to equipment for the business he owns, he was not able to work for a while. Also repairs needed to be done to his truck which is the only way he can run his business. His truck is in need of a new transmission. His credit is preventing him from being eligible to get a new truck. He already spent $1200 to get a transmission rebuild but it needs a new one. And due to this and bills mounting, we don’t have the  money. We are a working family with 2 kids (13 and 9 months) so once we can catch up, we can keep it going from there. The transmission will cost $3600. To catch up our mortgage it’s $7681.68 as we are 4 months behind and they are threatening to go to foreclosure at the end of this month. I have applied for second jobs as well as my husband has been using a friends truck when he can. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

“MY SOB STORY”

(most have one)

At 26 I had to go on disability insurance, I am dialed from several conditions and am receiving palliative care. My most serious one is a rare back condition that’s untreatable and will lead to my passing. They don’t know how long I have 1 min or 10 years. Im deterioating quickly but hopefully not dying quickly.  I have an arachnoid cyst that i got from a car accident. One of my discs herniated and punctured my thecal sac in my lower lumbar causing a small CSF leak, at the time I was 15. I was told it would be “okay” At 24 I collapsed at work went to the hospital and the MRI revealed the “small” leak turned into a giant monster filling up the entire inside of my sacrum. They said the CSF leak got trapped under the thecal sac membrane and the membrane filled with CSF and grew so large it goes down my spine and expands into a large sac in my sacrum…lower part of my back. It has caused permanent damage which has lead to onset paralysis, bladder incontinience, eroded my sacrum to “crystal” thin, permanent nerve damage, DDD, ruptured discs, herniated discs, drop foot, partial paralysis to me leg and constant nerve lower back pain, migraines due to the low CSF in my cranium. My last MRI revealed less than 1 year 4 discs deterioated  completly which need to be fused but they can’t be fused due to the mass in they way and risk of rupturing the mass. NO SURGEON of any kind will operate due to more than likely rupturing the mass causing a full CSF loss. No CSF means no life. It seemed overnight my life did a 180 with my family suffering the most. My husband and children have stood strong by my side and I am stuck not being able to work do anything too physical. I can go on and on about my health problems,so sorry for rambling im not sure what to say here. So im telling a summary of my life story. I lost more $ than i would like to admit to try to work from home. The unemployment agency says most at home jobs are given in house at companies. My 4 children have what they need but deserve so much more. Due to my disability we NEVER had a vacation, honeymoon. Our vacations are when I have to go to a surrounding out of state city which we try to make fun, go to Chukee Cheese or toys r us and let them spend $10 each depending on if we have $ or not.No Disneyland not even a “honeymoon”. I would love to renew our marriage vows with just myself, husband and children and have it on a beach with private cabanas “I’m cheesy” I want to wear a wedding dress. I never had baby showers out of 4 pregnancies, (thanks friends) they were busy fighting planning them they never happened, the thought and fact they tried is good enough for me. I never got to say yes to a wedding dress, which I really really want to do! But every time we have any spare $ it goes to our children…clothes shoes so they “fit in” video games, headsets, tablets…no phone not even for my 15 year old :( who gets teased a lot at school for not having one. My parents have me and my husband on their family plan and can’t afford another line. God bless them for what they can do, their on a fixed income just as bad off as us. I swear our children literally ask for nothing, they are such kind selfless souls. Its a rare trait in people let alone children and 4 out of 4 I’m so proud and honored. They are amazing. I got a call from their school “which I’m thinking the worse” injury, getting bullied. Well it was the cafeteria staff calling to thank me and my husband for raising such great children. They said they are always respectful, patient and always thank them. It was an amazing phone call like making honor roll award as parenting. Really it’s who they are. Also who my husband and I are too. No matter working class, religion, race we respect all. We don’t drink, or do drugs. We don’t judge those that do just a personal lifestyle choice.

We have a car it’s a 95′ suburban that works. Our 04′ focus was reposessed after paying $6 grand for it and the purchase price was $4 grand. We didn’t read the dealerships fine print. They took it sold it and are still asking for the $2,800 owed? My childhood was difficult, sexual assault, abusive household. My adulthood is good considering, I’m just happy being with my 4 children my husband in our home/sanctuary. Growing up I watched a movie repeatedly called “A home of our own”, that movie put a fire in my soul that has lasted to this day to “own” a home. Well working with USDA for 3 yrs we got “a home of our own”. Now we are less than 2 months from losing it. We owe $2,556.76 to save our home and need a payment for June $1,218.52 to be 100% caught up. Our home is a humble 1400sq ft 3bd 2 ba. No family room, gourmet kitchen, A/C, wood floors but it is our home, our castle and we LOVE it, it’s clean, we eat family dinners every night, have family movie nights every Fri & Sat and have a prayer share befor bed. We’ve had this home almost 5 years and hopefully will be our home forever. We want to do for our children what our parents aren’t able to do for me our my husband and that is a home to pass on or $, they will be leaving us with memories which are priceless, so no complaints. A home to give our children when their grown is all we want. The fact is people who inherit a home/homes get a leg up, I’ve seen so many of our friends and extended family get left a home/homes, money and it betters their life. People we have asked for help are struggling too like us and say not to worry you’ll be able to get another one. Uhh no we won’t and where will we go? We have no savings acct, a negative checking account. So I’m begging you for $ help. I’m terrified which is difficult to admit. It makes it too real. Please help us?

I left out my PayPal in my other post

I am hoping to raise enough money over the next 5 years to pay off the reverse mortgage so I can have a place to live that helps keep me mentally stable by sparing me the stress of frequent moves due to unaffordable rent.

I have a mental health disability.  To remain stable, I need a place to live that I can afford.  Right now, I am stable while living with the support of my mother who takes care of the utilities and groceries.  She owns her home but had to take out a reverse mortgage to maintain the house.  I need to be able to pay off that mortgage if I am to keep the house after she passes away.  If I can’t pay off the mortgage, I will have to move to an apartment where the rent goes up once a year and gradually eats away at the small Social Security check I get.  That will put me in a situation where I have to move a lot and the stress of all of that will cause me to end up hospitalized and more in debt for medical bills.  I’ve been through that experience over and over again before moving in with my mom.  I would also end up homeless at times because I could no longer afford rising rent.

The small cost-of-living raises I sometimes get with Social Security always end up getting eaten up by increased Medicare costs.  So, I can’t count on that to offset yearly rising apartment rent.  For example, after this year’s cost-of-living raise, I ended up with a net $1 increase in income after increased Medicare and drug costs.

My mom used the money from her reverse mortgage to fix and replace the major expenses that go along with maintaining a house. So, if I can pay off the mortgage, I will have a well-maintained home.  Also, I can use the money I would have otherwise given for rent to pay for home owner’s insurance and property taxes.

I have looked into the idea of getting a mortgage loan to pay off my mother’s reverse mortgage.  But, I’d need to be able to save up a down payment and that isn’t really feasible since I pay rent to my mom and have hospital and medical bills to pay off.  I have no money to save.  My credit has also been affected by my hospital bills which I can only afford to pay off, one at a time, at $20/month.  I know they say that medical bills don’t impact your credit rating but they do until you can get around to paying them.

Hello my name is Melissa.  I am a proud mother of a fourteen year old son.  Our lives took a drastic turn in November of last year.  My husband died suddenly in our home.  We were devistated.  Shortly after, my landlord came to me to tell me they need me to find a new place to live because they want to sell the home.  I am a 23 year licensed nurse and have a stable job, however paying rent and utilities just gives us enough.  My son has learning difficulties and needs extra support and services from school.  I am looking for any possible help with a down payment for a home to start our lives over.  Any amount given is appreciated.  I am already pre-approved for a mortgage and have very little extra funds.  I thank you in advance.

I am a 37 year single mother and a veteran of the US Army. I have severe generalised anxiety disorder and a mold induced lung illness. I own my own business that isn’t overly successful as I only have inventory I pay for out of pocket.

2 years ago, I and my boys started having repeated respiratory illnesses. We have checked out fine through every doctor.  I have had every test from a CBC to a brain MRI and am now being tested for COPD. The only test that hinted to me that my home was the problem was an allergy test.  We are all allergic to mold and my home is wrapped up in it.

A lengthy battle with my landlord is extremely costly. I found a double wide for $74,900 plus set up and cost of land. I applied for multiple loans, including a VA loan. My credit isn’t horrible, it’s just lacking and I have no one who could cosign for me. My mother died in my arms and my father is disabled and under my care.

I am pleading for financial help on a 30% down payment so that I don’t need a cosigner. And I and my boys can get our health back

I’ve already spent so much on medical and mold killer.

Thank you so much to anyone who might consider. This is my absolute last resort.

How do you ask for money when you know pretty much everyone out there is looking for financial assistance.  My fiance and I bought a house to have something to leave to our children.  We know too well what it is to come from poor families that are going to leave nothing behind but debt and children that we will need to help also.  One of my brother’s died in June 2017.  Aside from it being the most devastating thing that has ever happened to me, it also put a fear in me about what my legacy will be when my time comes.  Will my children end up responsible for paying off debt and funeral services because no matter what I did, it wasn’t enough?  Will I live long enough to put something to the side for them?  These were some of the things going though my head that pushed my fiance and I towards the idea of buying a house.  Leaving them a permanent home seams like it could relieve a potential burden from them if in the event times are ever hard for them. We decided to buy a two family home, to help us pay the house and taxes.  The tenant from the second floor has moved and left the apartment in shambles. Everything is broken and what isn’t broken is hanging on by a thread.  This issue had me online looking for ways to come up with money to fix the second floor.  That is how I stumbled upon beggingmoney.com.  I don’t know if people really do donate but I figured it couldn’t hurt to ask.  If anyone would like to donate money to help my fiance and I repair the second floor apartment so we can go back to renting it and covering part of our mortgage, it would be greatly appreciated.  We were told the whole apartment needs total rehab and would cost about $25,000.  No donation is too small to help us fix this apartment.  Thank you for taking the time to read my request. PayPal.Me/homerepairplease

Hello to whomever is reading this.  I have great self pride and it brings me to tears to even try doing this.  For what pride I have left, I am wishing to stay anonymous.  My psuedo-name is Gabriel.  Last month, I was fired from my job at a large big box retailer.  I was a middle level manager and made approximately $50k a year.  Two week before I was terminated, I found out that my family was growing even bigger.  I’m married with two kids.  One of them being a little boy and little girl, with another boy on the way.  The company determined that I violated a policy that called for my immediate termination with no option to be rehired.  I argued this policy, stating that the language was in my favor, but was terminated in the end.  My wife works one job which isn’t enough.  We had enough in savings to last one month.  That month is up.  I’ve applied for 9 jobs so far, only 1 of which has lead to an interview and no call back.  I feel like an failure to my family.  I cannot provide to them financially and my wife who is now 34 weeks pregnant is having to look for another job.  I have a mortgage, two car loans and a student loan that comes out to about $2300 a month.  I’m a very conservative leaning individual with beliefs of self sufficient.  I absolutely refuse to go on food stamps or other Government provided benefits.  I do believe God is testing me and our marriage.

What I’m asking for is $5,000.  Just enough to cover one more month of bills.  I will pay it forward in any way that I can, I just need help getting back on my feet.

Thank you for your time.

Hi,

This last year has really beat us down. April of last year, I began getting very sick. I ended up having to quit my full time job of 8 years because I was so sick. In September, while I’m still dealing with all of my health issues, I was hit by a car walking into my sons school. Luckily it didn’t hurt me severely, but where it hit me, I have a torn labrum in my hip that requires surgery. I cannot Work and my husband is working himself to death and we’re just getting by. I would love to take some stress off of him before he gives himself a heart attack. This is all I know to do. We’ve had lawyer bills get us down from where he adopted my son, we are behind on our mortgage and now – he needs tires, brakes and shocks for his truck. We just feel like we are drowning and would just like some room to take a deep breath until I am able to get back to work and help him. I just feel helpless because I’m still so sick and I can’t work, we could really use some help! If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I don’t mind at all to answer them. Thank you!!

Hi. My name is Alicia and I could really use some help right now with my bills. I have a husband and child at home who really need me to step up now. I am doing all that I can to pay our bills and still struggling. I work full time as does my husband who also is the primary parent taking care of our child while I work. Due to some unforeseen medical issues and medical bills I have let our mortgage go unpaid for 2 months and really need to pay it as soon as possible. I’m working and budgeting but still do not have enough money to pay both months payments. I am also 1 month behind on my car loan which is about 2 months from being paid off. Our television and internet services have been cut off but I am not as concerned about that as I am for my home. We have one child who we are trying to not let this effect but we are having a hard time right now. I beg for anyone who can help me to please do so. As of right now I need about $4,500 to catch up on all of my past due bills as well as the ones that are due right now. My paypal is paypal.me/AliciaTeater. Thank you.

Thank you for taking time to read about my request.

I’m a 20 year old man who is out of options and looking for any possible help. My mother has suffered from severe depression for as long as I can remember. I have also been struggling with depression and anxiety for many years now. My father is a great man and has supported my mother and I throughout all our medical and emotional struggles.  My mother has been unable to work for a few years now and my father just lost his job for the third time in the past two years. We have fought to hold on to what we have for years but in about a month we are going to lose our home, our pets, everything. I have done everything I can to give us more time but we are out of options. We have five pomeranians who we can’t bear to think about losing. I don’t know if I can handle losing that part of my family while the rest of my family suffers.

I’m begging for any help from anyone out there. Please help me save my family and give some peace to my parents. In order to prevent losing everything we have we would need around 4 thousand dollars just this month. Any amount of help will provide us more time to try and recover. Thank you to all of you who read this, even if you cannot help. I wish you all a wonderful and love filled life.

paypal.me/Kxnei  Thank you for anything you send to help, it means more than I could ever show or describe.  Below is a picture of two of our pomeranian family members: Marley(left) and Moose(right).

To whom it may concern:

I am a struggling mother, I have a job, bills, rent and other necessities that I pay for every month with no assistance. I can no longer get food assistance from the state since I make $50 more a month than they allow. I work 40-50 hours a week and barely see my children, it breaks my heart. I want to be able to put a downpayment on a home, but whenever I have extra, I have medical bills that need to be paid or clothing for my children ages 4 and 5, not including the food that they eat at home, I don’t eat except for dinner. I wanted to make sure that they have after school healthy snacks (fruits, veggies and yogurt), thus which is why I don’t take food with me to work. I have to pay for a sitter to watch my children after school. She sees my children more than I do since I work second shift. We live in a run down part of town, since it is close to transit it is easy for me to get to work and get my kids to school during the day. Please assist me with getting together a good down payment on a home in a better part of town. I need about $7,500 for a down payment so that I am paying roughly as much I do now for the 2 bedrom that I rent. Please help me getting my family into a more stable home, so we can be together, and the home can be ours.

This is for my father who deserves the best. My father has always been such a good, loving and hard working Christian man and has supported his family through thick and thin. He has always worked really hard but just has not made much financially. He is getting up there in age and needs to retire but he can’t. The job he has performed most his life has been doing hard manual labor as a handy man. Unfortunately he hasn’t made enough to make an retirement for himself and still needs to pay for his bills and his mortgage which is $350,000. I would love to give him financially freedom at his age but I am not capable at this point in my life and bc I already have my so many financial  responsibilities of my own and don’t make enough to do both. He has worked so hard for so long I just wish he could at least not have to worry about having to work to be able to have a place to live at this point in his life, especially the home he built with his two hands. Yes, he built his home with his own two hands. He did get it financed to buy the land and build it. Later on he made the mistake of taking a second mortgage out on it to be able to afford it and support his growing family. He is now having to pay for it even longer than he should and for way more than it was in the beginning. I thought that maybe I could try this out and see if there is someone out there that is capable of helping him. I truly believe that there is someone out there that is blessed and kind-hearted enough to help a simple, kind hearted man like my father. I really appreciate you taking the time to read this. Thank you and God-bless. Grace

Hello, I am a 59 year old widowed woman.My 34 year old disabled daughter lives with me.Seven years ago I had to do an emergency refinance on my home because I did not having any funds to pay my bills due to the Government Shut down at that time my job was furloughed and I was without a paycheck for quite a while.I have just recently discovered/found out, from my bank that I have a Balloon Payment  on my Mortgage due at 1st of June 2018 for the amount of $49,000.

I can honestly say that i never thought I would be in this situation. A large part of me is humiliated and embarrassed. The other part is willing to let go of my ego and hope that someone can realize that this is the hardest thing that i have ever had to do.

I have always been a good problem solver. I have always tried to do whatever I can to make the people in my life happy. Lately I have been struggling beyond anything I have ever  known.

At the center of my world are my two kids  I have never felt love for another human being like I do for both of them. without them, there is no purpose.

I came from a family of 5 adopted kids. my Mom and Dad really loved and wanted us all. They were married fod 60 years. I knew what it was like to be truly loved and nurtured.

They passed away back in 1999. It devastated me. in fact, the last time I saw my Dad was at my wedding.

I was married for 13 years to someone I knew from college. I thought it was my happily ever after.

It was for awhile but what it started to go bad, my kids became my happily ever after.

I couldn’t imagine my world without them. we have put them through hell as divorce is so hard on anyone to handle, let alone children.

the guilt that i have is overwhelming but I always try to keep things positive and pull the good out of situations and i have taught my children to do the same.

I will try to keep this as short as possible  I have had ADD my whole life. as I grow older, it worsens. My son had it too. when I was married I didn’t realize how much of a role my husband played in helping me to stay organized.

well, as we started to get divorced, everything fell apart. crumbled to the ground  he moved on quickly. I don’t even think he shed a tear

me on the other hand, I was a hot mess .  i just couldn’t seem to recover and i don’t know why. emotionally I was a train wreck.

well he was refusing to sign off the loan on our house. and the title. the bank of america would not allow me to do anything without one of those two things to take place.

they went 5 years without a payment. and then, after 5 years, they came for my jugular. they aggressively pursued collection of a HELOC loan we had taken out in 2005. It wss one od the Countrywide loans they knew we would default on when it matured.

sure enough they were right. well the bank forged the documents and all of the facts. shoot they didn’t even have the right interest rate on the papers.

they were not within the statue of limitations to collect money from us after 4 years. but they did.

they lied and scammed us and they sold my home at auction. my beautiful home where my kids and i lived since 2003 in lake Tahoe. they auctioned it off, disregarding the $250,000 of equity I had in the home which was everything I had.

to make matters worse, the people that bought it told me they would give me $10,000 if I moved everything out and so I did and after I left I was told it took too long and i got nothing.

I lost everything. we walked with the things on our backs.

I haven’t been able to recover. I don’t know what to do.

please help us. I need a safe place for my kids to live. we are homeless right now.

I just want my kids to feel safe. I can’t put a price on that. it’s hard to ask for money from stranger.

thanks for reading. best regards, aimee

Hi, my name is Brianna. I am an 18 year old senior in high school and i really need help. Here why……. I am drowning in bills i cant pay for. The day i turned 16 i was expected to get a job that I knew I couldn’t handle. On top of Band, Guard and keeping my grades up a job was not what I needed. But I had no choice so I got a job as a server where i am making minimum wage, no tips, and working less than 20 hours every two weeks for pay checks that come up to around 150 dollars. Now Im 18 and working the same job with more hours after giving up band and guard. Which really really sucked but i am an adult and had to focus on money more than happiness. Now im working 42 hours a check (two weeks). Sounds nice right…. no. Those checks only come out to barely 300 dollars and i have over 700 dollars in bills. I pay for water- $100, electric-$100, rent-$200, car insurance- $95, Car payments-$150, gas- $ 100. I also have to pay for my glasses that I cost $400. I’m still in school and really really struggling. I would love any help i can get. Thank you guys so much for taking time to read this I hope you understand my situation.

Hello Everyone,

My name is Renee, I ran into some financial hardship. I’m very embarrassed but I’m desperate. I am currently working  2 part-time jobs and I’m not making ends meet. I am behind in my mortgage and I need $4,500 to catch up. I do not want to go into foreclosure I’ve had this house for 25 years.

I would also like to buy a food truck so I can go into business myself. I had a food truck sometime ago, but I had to shut down the business to take care of my terminally ill father who had 3 different types of cancer (he was a smoker) and my sister that had heart disease and an aneurysm.  All I did was go to one hospital and doctors appointment for both of them. They both passed away.

Hurricane Irma damaged my roof and I need to get that fix so I can get a tenant again. I don’t have an estimate on the roof, but with the truck I can repair it; rainy season will start soon and I don’t want more damage.

I can buy a food truck and rely on myself instead of these 2 crappy jobs that’s not supporting me. A food truck can range anywhere from $5,000-$8,000. I don’t like being behind on my bills. I want to help my daughter with her college funds and I can stop feeling like a failure.

So the total amount I need to get back on my feet is $12,500. I know that’s a lot of money. I’m thinking if I get $1.00 from 13,000 people. I could support myself and give back come back to this website and help someone else when I get on my feet again.

I would appreciate any help you can give me I am desparate

My Autistic roller coaster journey with my son. My purpose to ask complete strangers for help today is for my son but also for myself. At the age of 18 months old we noticed that he was no progressing in the learning and developing that he should. After my doctor visits and tests we were told that our son ad Autism. That started our journey in life down a road in the dark on a subject we knew nothing about. At first it was a struggle to get any information to help him out with learning, therapy, training, and just trying to live a simple life, but who was I kidding my life was no longer going to be simple. More about him and the Autism life we live in a moment.
I myself have done everything that I can ever do to help my family and expressly my son out and still do. At one point I was working three jobs at on time for around five years until physically I could not do that any more. Today I work one job and struggle to make my ends meet. Raising a family is expensive these days alone, but raising a son that is autistic and on the spectrum is extremely expensive and a 24/7 job in it’s self. I have always done everything that I can do to provide for my family with no complaint but now I have swallowed my pride to ask for a little help if I can get some.
It has been several years since my son was first diagnosed with autism. I have had the wonderful opportunity to have him in special schools for autistic individuals through hard work getting him into them. In addition to being in that school he has had therapy in so many categorizes to help out his speech, physical attributes, learning abilities, and much more.
Raising a child with autism is so expensive. My son will only eat certain foods because of the texture and taste of the food. My son needs special needs to keep track of him almost 24/7 because if he gets outside he wonders and disappears. My son has no sense of what is right or wrong, no sense of things that will hurt him, and is so sensible to noise and lights of all kinds. All Therapy, medical, medicines, and special needs are very expensive and more then I can provide. I struggle to make my ends meet when having to choose to provide for my family and my son’s special needs. My vehicle that takes him to and from his school just broke down and I do not have the money to get it fixed without sacrificing in other ways and falling short on bills once again.
I have two other children that I love and adore. They are great both at home and at school. I do feel ready bad for them. I feel that they get the short end of the stick most of the time. Even when it is not something done on purpose a lot of time and focus is taken away from them and spent on their brother with autism. They are great to help out and understand. I do know that they sacrifice a lot from play dates, vacations, gifts, and much more because we just don’t have the extra money to spend and afford these things.
My family lives pay check to pay check most weeks. The weeks that we don’t we are falling short on having money to pay all the bills that need to be paid to live not counting for emergencies or surprise expenses. My family and I don’t live outside our means at all. In fact my kids live simple lives and don’t receive much other kids do these days. I can not even remember the last time we could afford to go on a vacation. I will admit that I am in debt, because of these costly expenses of raising my son. I have had to put bills of all sorts on credit cards to cover for those that I fall sort on. I would like the help to pay off the credit debt that I have and the future expenses coming up. I would like to pay off my vehicle loan and house mortgagee, so that I can use my pay checks for living and not debt. I do know that this is a wild dream to do so but any help would help out. I would like to earn enough to pay off some debt and get my vehicle fixed so it is a reliable transportation to get him to school. First and far most I will help my autistic son have the best life and care he can. I could go on and on about my life’s experiences with my son and family over the years, but I feel that time is precious. Please help and donate if you can. Share m story with your friends and family. The more help the better. Thank you for your time in reading this and support.

Hello everyone,

I am here today to hopefully get some help. I am new to this and want to tell you my story about my debt. We are a single family with a newborn son. Anyone who has children (especially new born) know the stress it can add to a family.

My wife and I have started to collect a lot of debt trying to pay for rent, groceries, medical and just basic necessity needs for our family. I have looked online for ways to control our debt, which has helped control it for now. But, it has lead me to this website hoping someone generous out there can help us a little more so we can hopefully lead a debt free life one day, or at least a month of stress free from bills.

My wife and son are very grateful for any donations we will receive. Even the smallest amount will lift some stress of our shoulders as it will be put towards deleting our debt.

I will list our basic and important bills for a break down monthly. My wife and I are hoping for $5000 goal, this would pay off a credit card and really help us out financially.

Rent – 1400

Electricity/Gas 100

Groceries – 200

Gas- 250

Diapers- 200

Credit card payments – 600

Again,

Thank you for reading my story and thank you for taking to time out of your day. Even if you do not donate, My family wishes you the best and a wonderful day.

My husband lost his job a little over s year ago and I’ve been a stay at home mom since my first was born almost 7 years ago. We had our second baby boy a year ago around the time my husband lost his job. The unexpected happened. We weren’t expecting life to be completely turned upside down. A few decisions were wrongfully made but accountability was taken fully and consequences were in full action. Since, my husband hasn’t been able to find work besides here and there, but nothing consistent. We have fallen behind on every bill and three months ago after paying for a new transmission in our van, it breaks down again and there is no way to afford to buy a new or used vehicle. Our second car was repoed two and a half weeks ago and now we are without anything to drive. I have been wanting to work but the vehicle situation has limited me. And now vehicle two gone, it just isn’t possible. All that has gone on has cause my husband and I to argue, but with time and God we work each situation out best we can. Here is the heart breaker. My boys have seen us argue and yell at one another. My depression has kicked in high gear and I have neglected my daily chores and instead i surround myself with playing and doing for my baby boys. Not myself not my husband and at times I feel I have lost who I am. Am I even human anymore. My boys have suffered so much and my mother in law decided it was best to take my boys for a while thinking I need a break but that has broken me even more. I am about to lose our home I have already lost our cars and now my babies. My heart hurts and all I want is for my family to be back under  The same roof and our brokenness become whole again. I truly believe that if this is meant to help then God will provide through the hearts of you who help. From the center of my being and heart I truly thank you.

I and my fiance have come a long way in paving a path towards a future for our family. This isn’t a story about falling on hard times. In fact, I felt like we’ve done everything right up to this point and came so close to owning our dream house and are falling just short.

We started looking for a house midway through last year and we’ve done everything we can to raise our credit scores to make it happen and have done very well in that respect.  At first we couldn’t find a good fit. Either the homes we found weren’t big enough for a family of four or they were in rough neighborhoods we couldn’t see ourselves raising our kids in. We found the perfect house that fit both of our needs and our two children and it’s in a great neighborhood.

The bank called us this afternoon and unfortunately we won’t be able to come up with the down payment in time to get this house without help. We need 6100, an amount that just isn’t feasible for us right now with everything else we have going on this year.

We’ve worked hard to get to where we are now. My fiance has worked her butt off and  I know how much this house would mean to her.

We plan on getting married this year and I’ll be starting school in the fall and we both really feel like this is the missing piece to our puzzle and I’d hate to see it slip through our hands when we’ve done so much to achieve our goals and get to this point.

I’ve never been the type to ask for a handout but this would absolutely change our lives and I want this for my fiance, she deserves it.

If someone could do this for us we would never forget it, it would be an incredible life changer and you would be our hero.

Hello, My name is Art, I and my oldest daughter are disabled. I have had countless surgeries on my left knee, in 2012 I under went surgery and thought it would finally cure my pain from early in my youth. Well surgery went well then all of a sudden about 1 month later I was told I needed to get to the hospital for emergency surgery as it was infected and only hours from exploding on its own. I did so and the physician went in and cleaned it out then sewed me back shut after I was in recovery the Doctor consulted with my wife and said I was within hours of passing due to the extreme infection which entered into my blood stream. I again had unbearable pain within 3 days and was rushed into surgery to remove the total knee implant, placing so-called hockey pucks spacers in my knee to help heal me up the severity of damage from the infection it had eaten away at my bone structure which required the doctor to custom make one implant out of two units. Well not being able to support my family of 4 was not only deprecating  but hard to be the man I once was about 3 months went by with no knee and having to have frozen medicine balls changed out twice a night my wife what a trooper and God send for me and my youngest daughter giving me a daily shot of medicine in my stomach she was great as well before school each day she helped out. Finally getting to my oldest daughter she was diagnosed at 23 months with Autism, she later also was diagnosed with epilepsy. Wow what a struggle I was successful with having a great job in my home town but now after all this happening the company decided I was unable to perform my job and thanks to the tax payers I was given the chance to finally get the college education I missed out on when I was younger. During that first year of school I was on the return end of a light at the end of the tunnel, only having 3 semesters left to graduate I was involved in a motorcycle accident I hit a woman whom pulled out in front of me and hit her so hard I dismounted her tire from the rim and flew over the car into oncoming traffic almost getting run over by an oncoming van ripping both rotator cuffs and a head injury which leaves me with PTSD and short term memory loss. I had about a year or so of healing then once again slipped on an Ice patch at a place of business shattering my left knee cap so once again surgery my family had endured quite an adventure with me all my 401 K was needed to survive and was enough to keep us above water house payments aunt and home insurance food running my daughter three towns over for appointments utility bills it went fast. I now get a small amount of disability benefits from our government but it’s still hard to survive every day sometimes wondering where the next gallon of milk was coming from Thank God for family at that time. I know there are more deserving peep then us but have to try anything I can to save my house and family from breaking down. Thank you for reading my story any and all help in any way is greatly appreciated even if it’s in the form of prayer. Sincerely Father at his last shirts end

My name is Melissa. I have always worked to separate myself and my family. I was diagnosed with an eye disease that has no cure and can eventually take all my sight. I have continued to work until recently. Two months ago I have became unemployed due to I started messing up at work. I have now lost my peripheral vision on my left side and when I try to read I don’t see as well. The eye disease I have is Retinitis Pigmentosa. I have to go to the specialist for a updated eye exam to try to receive any help as far as medical or disability. I have tried to get help for the bills and trying to figure out stuff for my little ones for Christmas. I have applied for food stamps, Medicaid and help through a church. I did receive food stamps for one month and was denied for everything else. Church said my bills were more than what they offer which was $100.00. I have always been independent but I’m really in a situation that I can’t fix without help. If anybody could possible help with any amount I will appreciate it so much. I’m not greedy by far so a few dollars helps. It is more than I had.

Thank you,

Melissa

My name is Melissa, I’m 45 years old. About seven years ago I was diagnosed with an eye disease that will take my sight. There is no cure for this disease. I have already lost my peripheral vision on my left side and can not strain my eyes for a long period of time. If I read or stare at anything for long I get a severe headache and my vision suffers. The eye disease I have is called Retinue Pigmentosa. I have always worked since I was thirteen years old and hate to ask for any help. I have always believed you need to do for yourself. Recently I have lost my job because I was making a lot of mistakes due to my sight. I have been out of work for two months now and have no way of taking care of my bills and I really need to get back to the eye doctor and have no income coming in to do it. I would never ask for anybody to help me but I really don’t know where to turn. I have applied for food stamps and they said I only could get the one month. I applied for medicaid so I can be seen for my eye disease and asthma but they said I could not be approved for the type of medicaid I need due to I have no children under the age of 18 in the home. I went to a church and tried to ask for help and they only give help up to $100.00 and I got turned down because the money was not enough to cover my bills. My mortgage is so far behind and I’m so scared of losing my home. I am hoping to try to get my disability but i have to go back to my eye doctor to see how far my disease has progressed and that requires money before they will see me. Please can anybody find it in their hearts to help me. A little is better than nothing. Christmas is coming in a little over a week and I can’t even buy for family. Thank you in advance for any help that anyone gives and if you can’t donate I appreciate the time you have took to read this.

Thank you,,

Melissa

I’m a 27 year old mother of a two year old and a one year old. My husband is a teacher. He is a HFA which means high functioning Aspergers. He is a Special Ed Teacher in oak cliff. We are struggling to get our feet in the ground. We run out of money every month just to survive and pay bills. We have a large amount of debt between the two of us. My husband is eligible  for a VA loan as he is a veteran. However we can’t access the help because of our crippling debt. We rent a tiny one bedroom apartment for the four of us. I just want to come up with a way to help not only pay off debt but star saving and be able to own a home and a vehicle that works properly. I know that if we had certain necessities that ended up costing us less in the long run such as an $800 mortgage vs $1220 rent payment. We probably between the two of us have $80000 worth of debt. If you could gift us a down payment for a house or even help pay off our debt  we would be set and my husbands salary would more than provide a decent life. It’s just the past come to haunt us that keeps us stuck so to speak.  

Before I begin, I would like to thank you for choosing to read my post. That in itself makes me feel grateful.

Back in June of this year, I was admitted into the hospital with Bells Palsy. The entire left side of my face was completely paralyzed. Due to my Blood pressure being so high, they decided to have an MRI done for neurological concerns. That day I was also diagnosed with a Meningioma Brain Tumor. The placement of the tumor created a few concerns because the area was where the blood drains, and then gets redistributed.

After meeting with the surgeon after my second MRI, it was determined that I would need surgery sooner than later. The tumor was blocking blood flow and if I waited any longer the outcome could have been worse. So, on September 15th I went in for a 5 hour surgery. The tumor was successful removed! Hearing the news was amazing; however, I woke up from surgery not being able to move my legs, feet, and toes. The surgery caused brain swelling preventing full motor skills. I was devastated. I never experienced anything like this before. Sitting in bed all day definitely didn’t help my situation at all. I prayed every day that I could walk soon and get out of that damn hospital. After 1 week I was discharged and sent to a rehabilitation hospital where I started to walk again after a week! I put everything I had into getting better and going back to normal life.

I was released from that hospital after a week, but was told by the surgeon that I would need to stay out of work for another month. With me being out of work and my husband missing hours to be with me through this process, we fell behind on our bills and mortgage. We just sold one of our 2 cars just to make the mortgage payment. I don’t want to lose my home because of this. My 5 year old son deserved to live in a nice home  and go to a good school.

I am open to any amount of donation you feel is right in your heart. I am hoping to raise up to $5,000 but I am willing to take anything.

Thank you again for reading my post. It means a lot to me.

My family and I have taken one hit after another from car issues, loss of pets (vet bills!), loss of a job, unexpected doctor visits/appointments to care for myself or our kids who have gotten sick or our son who fractured his foot.  We are in desperate need of help of any kind donations as taking a loan out would only hurt us at this point.  We were able and allowed to borrow a family members credit card to pay the bills at the time that we needed them so we could keep a rood over our heads, however the time has come that we pay this money to our family member and if we do, we are out of our mortgage payment money.

This has now been due two months ago and my husband and I are scrambling to do all that we can to get this money paid and are desperate for help.  I don’t want to lose our home so we can continue to keep a roof over our children’s heads and continue to come home in order to keep the job I do currently have.  Any donations big or small will help tremendously to help us get out of this situation and get this debt paid off and not into a bigger hole.  I continue to work to pay the bills we have now but am not able to make the mortgage payment with also having to pay this total due to our family member.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you, thank you, thank you for taking the time to listen to our story and for allowing us to apply for this.

Hello, First off Thank You for stopping by our page. My name is Tim Manning and I am married to my stunning wife Joanne. Together we are raising my two granddaughters which will soon be an adoption. We also took on caring for my Mother who is suffering from onset dementia. So now here is the rest of the story……………. I am totally disabled and I am on a very fixed income although we collect stippends from the state for my granddaughters. We live in a modest double wide that is in a very questionable mobile home park. It is a 3 bedrooms but is in need of repair. We decided that we would try to find a home that is safer and better suited for these two beautiful girls and one that would have a forth bedroom so Mom could have some privacy, right now she is sleeping in our living room. We applied for a mortgage, got pre-approved and started to search. We Hired a realtor and he found us a very nice 4 bedroom that was sort of a fixer upper so it fit our budget. So we placed an offer, got accepted and began all the paper work. when the final numbers got crunched we were told that we would need $7500 down. So my heart was destroyed, I wanted to give Joanne, the girls and my Mom a place they would feel safe and comfortable in. I am fighting my Ego and decided to try this to see if there are any GOOD HEARTED souls out there in this messed up world that can assist me in giving these ladies what they all deserve. I have all documentation in hand to prove that I am not some scam artist, Just a Papa trying to do something for his family. Time is of the essence and I would be eternally grateful for any help.
