I am unemployed and looking. Have a son, single mom in need of assistance.
I’m behind on my mortgage, needing to pay homeowners insurance that’s due
along with electric, water, and gas. It’s true, when it rains it does
pour….my oven broke and refrigerator is on blink as well. I’m not use to
being on this side, I enjoy helping others. Trying to not let it show for my
sons behalf but, I would be very thankful for any donations. “Pro-Peace”

Desperate to be normal. I really don’t like asking for help like this but
am at my wits end. As anyone knows with the way the economy is it has been
hard for everybody. Some more than others. It is by the grace of god that
there are kind people in this world that even though times are bad will
still help their fellow Americans out.

I am in a position where I am behind on my house payment. I am single now
after 25 years of being a stay at home mom. I have to find a job but find it
very hard after being out of the job market for so long. I have a plane in
place but in the short term I need some help with paying my bills and car
payment till I can get a job and start earning a honest living. If there are
any of those good people out there and have it in your heart to help me out
I would be very grateful.
To all that donate god bless you. I will be sure and pay it forward.

Can someone please help me so I can help my parents pay their mortgage. They
are already 4 months behind. My father is disable and my mother just broke
her ankle and is unable to work too.

At this time I’m also struggling to pay my rent because what I earn at my
current job is certainly not enough. Over 50% of my income is going to
towards my rent alone and I’m unable to help my folks out. Please help us
out.

My husband worked with the mentally ill as a Social Worker. I am an
unemployed Special education teacher. We receive unemployment but are short
about 250 a month on mortgage. We have curtailed our budget, helping

ourselves – no more cable, cell phones, eating out. Internet is a must for
todays job search, plus my husband is in graduate school. Any money could be
repayed in January when he receives his school loan. Even 25 ten dollars
donations would add up to what we need. Thanks and God bless

Hello everyone! I really hate doing this and this isn’t something we do but here it goes….I lost my job last July (2010) of 6 years making really good money, money that helped my husband I buy our dream home after working so hard for 8 years. Since losing my job we fell behind on bills especially our mortgage.

We are currently far behind on our mortgage and at the same time trying our hardest to save our home so we can continue to have a place to live and live the so called “American Dream!” I have been endlessly applying to jobs with no luck and it’s becoming to the point of hopelessness to myself and my husband. We cannot continue to live off one income (my husbands) which isn’t much and can hardly pay bills with it.

Sometimes we are afraid we won’t have enough money to feed ourselves and our family pets. If we lose our home, we will not have anywhere to live especially with our credit ending up in the gutter or like I say “our credit scores are in the negatives (if that even exists).”

So we are asking help from you beautiful helpful people out there and we aren’t asking for a certain amount because believe us, anything helps and very much appreciated. Thank you for the Donation(s) and God Bless all of you in these hard times!

Hello, I hate doing this but I dont have a choice, so….here It goes…..My Husband was diagnosed with severe reumatoid Arthritis, His work put him on disability ,who then hired a laywer to get him on SSI, we have been trying to get by with him on SSI and me working anywhere from 40 to 70 hrs a week,we have kept our morgage($1000) a month(thats with taxes) for 5 years..

we have been trying topay our bills, feed ,and cloth our kids ,cutting whatever and wherever we can…we have racked our credit cards up and now are trying to pay those too…as you can see from this letter ,its not working.We are now asking for any help you can give even a little will help….$100,000 will pay off our morgage and in turn help to pay off our credit card which we now owe together over $60,000.

UHG…I believe once we pay all this off we will have enough per month to pay our bills and buy our kids some clothes that kids wont make fun of. I want to cry when I see my kids suffer because of our ha
rdship. Please….wven if you cant give any money you can give your prayers. Im so sorry to have to ask people who have worked so hard for their money to donate to me and my family, Believe me if I felt I had any other way I would try that first. Thanks so much for your time

Hi I am a disabled veteran with PTSD that needs help with 2 months mortgage payments. I currently live in San Diego, Ca. I am also currently taking care of my mother who is paralyzed full time. I can afford my payments but I recently went to refinance and was told I can skip 2 months and everything was going good until I found out there was a lien that I didn’t know about.

But after I found out they said they couldnt go on with the refi and now I am 2 months behind. My mortgage company said they dont do forbearance and I have to make up the payments.
I am a former Marine and I don’t like to ask or beg for help but I have no other choice at the moment. If you can help me out that would be greatly appreciated. Semper Fi.

Best Place to Give Money

My husband died about three years ago after a very long and costly illness. We had a child late in life, and his father’s death hit him very hard. I was fortunate to have a job, but it just was not enough and as time passed, it became apparent that I could not keep up my mortgage payments.

Guess I was blind, but my son fell in with the wrong people and soon was supporting a raging drug habit. By the time I realized what was happening, he had robbed me of thousand’s of dollars. Even though he is clean now, he desperately needs treatment, but has no job or insurance, and I have not been able to find any inpatient treatment for him.

I had to give up my house and sell my possessions to survive. I was blessed enough to find a small rental house in a decent neighborhood. Unfortuntely, my bills wipe out my paycheck every month, and I find myself without enough food and gas. I have tried everything I know of to generate more income. I have sold my most precious possessions on ebay (can’t eat china and jewelry)and did make some headway, but for at least a few more months I cannot see any way to survive. I even tried writing a book, but that did not work.

I am not lazy, and work very hard and never thought I would be in this position, and would not even consider doing this if I could find any other option. However, being hungry is an incentive to do whatever you have to do to eat. The transmission in my car decided to die, and I cannot affort to get it fixed. I am driving an old car that rides like a covered wagon, but so far it has gotten me where I am going.

Not asking for a house, car or anything like that. I just need a little money to help with groceries and gas for a little while till I can get caught up. I have reached the point where I decided to clip coupons to help buy groceries. Wrong! That stuff on television about couponing just doesn’t work. I have no groceries in the house, and no gas to get any if I had the money to go to the store.

I guess I should count my blessings, because I do have a roof over my head and electricity, and a job, though that is not guaranteed for long, and that’s more than a lot of people can say. If I do not get a cent, maybe I will get the prayers of the people who may read this, and that would certainly be appreciated. God has given me many miracles, and I know that he works through people. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

I never thought I would be here, doing anything like this. Normally I would be the person reading and donating to others. Now I find myself on the other side of the table and so far nothing. I am the mom to two wonderful beautiful kids. A 9year old son and 8year old daughter.

Worked hard for years and now it seems that we may lose everything we have built. I owe about $1200 in mortgage payments. I have been paying everything I can, I have never just missed a payment but havent been able to make a full payment in about four months. I have been looking for work for about 5 hours each day which has also depleated the finances with the price of gas. I can do without everything myself, but not my babies. I can’t bear the thought of them without a home to live in. They have never complained about anything, if we had to eat noodles for a week they just ate the noodles and were happy. I can’t ask them to act happy about living in the van. I just can’t.

I do my best to shield them from all of out adult problems and the thought of telling them they may lose everything they’ve ever known breaks my heart, I cry thinking about it. If someone, anyone can help. I know it’s tight for everyone out there, I feel bad even asking. The way I figure is I have always tried to help even when it was hard for me to do so. I dont expect anyone to put themselves out for us, my only hope is that someone that is fortunate enough to help without putting themselves in my position may decide to do so. I would be forever grateful and in your debt, also any and all prayers are appreciated. There is truly power in prayer. Yours Humbly,
A desperate mommy.

My name is Samantha and i am 27yrs old. I am trying to get myself out of debt. I have about £5000 of debt and i have no idea how i will clear it and my partner does not know. I have no idea how i will pay it all off. Please help!

My husband died about three years ago of a severe and long illness. I struggled to keep up my mortgage, but to no avail. Interest rates went up and my mortgages were just too much for me. As forclosure loomed, I had other issues to deal with. My son fell in with the wrong crowd, and traveled through the abyss of the drug world. Before it was over, he had robbed me of thousands and thousands of dollars, and stolen many items from me. My family and friends wanted me to put him in jail, and maybe I should have, but for many reasons I just could not bring myself to send my son to jail for 30 years. He is clean now and going to AA, but is struggling.

He needs inpatient tratment, but has no job nor insurance.As forclosure loomed even closer, I had found no place to move, even though I had looked. Everything was either too expensive or located in a place where I felt I would have to keep a gun under my pillow. There was one cute little house listed on the net, but it suddenly vanished. I know miracles happen because as the garage sale and moving day approaced, I contacted another agent, who told me about a house that had come back on he market that very day. It was the house I had seen earlier. It was perfect. I believe God had put it aside for me till I needed it. I was able to move right in with the money from the garage sale. I was able to keep just enough furniture to fit into the house perfectly.

I thought everything would be fine. However, the transmission went out in my car and I couldn’t afford to have it fixed. I am driving an old gas guzzler that rides like a covered wagon ( I am not Quite old enough to have experienced that, but I can imagine).

I am not asking for a house, or a car, but just money to buy groceries and gas so I can go back and forth to work. When I pay my bills there is just nothing left. Things from the past keep popping up to bite me, but I believe that I can catch up in a couple of months and be okay. I just ned a stop gap till that tim comes.
Thank you for reading this, and if nothing else, I would appreciate a prayer. I know God works through people, and I am desperate for help, and pray this will reach someone who will be there for me.

My story is my body has sustained alot of battlewounds during pregnancy and I hope that the generosity of kind people out there would help me get closer to my dream of seeking plastic surgery with gorgeous getaways. I am a mother of two beautiful children I have a supportive loving partner who works long hard hours to keep our livelyhood ticking over. My reason for coming on this site is because I never put myself before family I’m scared this might devastate us financially.

But I am so insecure and embarrassed about my tummy and breasts as they look like they belong to a sixty year old women and not a thirty year old women. I am and always have been petite. I’m an active person by nature, I love running but my stomach is saggy and stretched out from having 9 pound children .

I feel like the ugly duckling in my family, my husband is gorgeous and my girls are stunning, I’m so scared my husband is going to realise this one day. I need to start feeling vibrant again. Please help me break out of my ugly duckling ways. I have nothing to offer but my friendship and ever lasting gratitude. Thank you for listening to my story sincerely yours from kiwiland

My son is 5 and my daughter is 3. I have been substitute teaching for the last 3 years. School is out and I have had no luck getting a job. I haven’t been able to pay rent for 2 months and am struggling with electricity bills and phone bills. We have no money to put gas in the vehicle to go anywhere.

I started struggling when I got engaged a couple of months ago and sold all my furniture to move in with this guy and he turned abusive on me. So now I am starting over with nothing. My landlord has been working with me so far, but I know he will be sending me an eviction notice soon! If you have a few dollars to spare it would help me and my family. Thank you, from Pensacola, FL.

Please help me keep my family together. We’re living check to check with next to nothing extra leftover. Our money issues continues to strain my marriage and I can’t sleep at night due to our endless bills. Playing this game of deciding who will get paid what month is extremely draining. We’re going on three very long years struggling and I sincerely don’t know how much longer I can continue this way. I’m mentally exhausted. I wake up and go to bed thinking about our bills.

Every time I think I’ll soon see a light at the end of the tunnel something breaks down or a new bill appears. Since being diagnosed with breast cancer and treated, I’ve inheritted medical bills I cannot pay. We no longer pick up our phone as it’s always a bill collector. The harder I try to get us caught up with our bills the more surprises come up. My husband’s hours being cut even further to nearly part-time status from full-time was the final straw that led me to doing this.

Ours are normal bills, nothing extravagant. I don’t know how I’m going to keep up with our monthly utility bills, pay our mortgage, feed ourselves and pay for gas for us to get to work. We’re hard working people, always have been. We’ve also always blessed others over the years without thinking twice about it. Thank you for reading about us. Knowing that God will never give us more than we can handle — even when we feel otherwise is partly what keeps me going.

I was layed off from my job of 6 years in 2005 due to budget cuts. In order to keep up with bills while I looked for a new job I started a computer repair business that managed to keep us afloat for a couple years, along with tapping my 401k. During this time the local economy took and even bigger hit and even with over a decade of experience I was unable to find sufficient work without a degree. As a result I decided to go back to school in 2009 to get my degree. With fiancial aid, the remainder of my 401k, money from the odd jobs I could find, and my wifes wages we managed to stay just ahead of our bills.

However in the last year the economy has gotten so bad that I was actually losing money repairing and building custom PC’s, my wifes hours have been cut wo less than 10 hours a week, and any job that I have applied for I am not eligble for either because I am still finishing my degree so am under qualified, or because I am over qualified due to the schooling I have completed so far. (That’s right I have been told I am overqualified to flip burgers at Mcdonalds, not sure how that works.)

Because of our reduced income we have been late on a number of bill payments for utilities and the house. I have sold my boat, my guns, and various electronics to get were we are and am to the point I have nothing of value left to sell. Aside from the monthly bills I have repair bills racking up on the house and our remaining vehicle.

The to top it off we got hit with a flood that took out our water heater, washer and dryer, and did significant damage to the rest of the basement.

Current bills include:
Cable $185
Cell $195
Mortgage $850
porperty taxes $200
food $600
gas $250
misc expenses for kids $200+ (8 year old daughter, 17 year old son)

repairs
replace water heater $1200
replace washer and dryer $500
engine and transmission work needed $2400
replace flooring and wall paneling $7500

Current monthly income
Wife: $600
Me: $800

Even with the financial aid and some other assistance we are almost $600 a month short just for the basic bills.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hello, I have come to ask for help on the is site because I have had an unexpected outgoing this month. This outgoing has taken nearly all of my regular wages and I don’t have enough to pay my mortgage. I am looking to acheive around £600 as soon as possible to be able to pay this amount and not put my house at risk.

I fear that my car insurance payment will bounce and this to will cause me even more trouble. I am asking for help before it gets so bad I have to lose my house and my car. If I lose my car I can’t get to work because of the location and if I lose my job I will certainly lose the house.

Please please please can somebody help me. Im 25 years old and have always been so careful with money. Im devestated to be feeling like this. Anything that you can spare will be greatly appriciated.
Thank you in advance
Sharon

Hello to anyone reading this. I’m ashamed to have reached a point in my life where I feel I have to ask for help from strangers but I honestly don’t know what else to do.

For the last 6 months I have been unemployed after taking redundancy from the Civil Service. I have tried everywhere to get even a low paid job but have been unsuccessful. I’m at breaking point just now, with no idea what career I want in life, no money to pay the mortgage, no money to go back to college to retrain, I feel like a failure in every possible way.

If anyone reading this can help in any way big or small you cannot imagine how much it would mean to me, just an act of human kindness would mean so much.
I don’t drink,smoke or take drugs. I love to read, love to listen to music, go hiking and I dream of travelling some day.
Please help me get back on my feet. Thank-you.

I can’t believe I’m writing this but I’m desperate. I work as an NHS nurse, on nights 30 hours a week, I have 3 children 10, 7 and 3 and have got arrears on my mortgage of £5000, I also have other debts but am working them out, but the mortgage company has issued repossesion papers.

I can’t increase my hours, I’m already up for 36 hours at a time. I’m keeping up my regular payments I just havent got the short fall, I can’t begin to say how grateful I would be to anyone who helped me keep a roof over my kids head.

I am from Alabama. Due to the past storm damage in my area my home owners insurance went up over $3,000.00 in one year, making my mortgage too high for me to pay. I am employed, been on the same job for 15 years.

I am single with one child. I am not able to make my mortgage now. I put my home up for sale, but it will take some time to sell it. Can you PLEASE help me make my mortgage, until it sells, so I don’t have to foreclose on my home? THANK YOU FOR ANY DONATION

Asking for Money

Hi, asking for money to help with the on going cost of my business. I have a good job, but after the bills, mortgage and paying for school for the kids not much is left.

As most families understand. I saved enough to start my business online, but struggling to squeeze money for software, upgrades, maintenance, and training material. Even if you just donate $1 I would be grateful.

Diabetic Coma 

My name is Tim and my wife’s mother went into a diabetic coma last year in May, 2010. She was in the hospital ICU & nursing home here in Houston, TX until August 27, 2010. She has been living with my wife and I since then and she has no insurance until she turn 65 in April 2011. She is on Social Security, but she only has enough for her car payment, insurance and some supplies. We have been footing all her other expenses, like Medications, other supplies and Dr. visits.

She is also an Tracheotomy and has uncontrollable urinary flow. We have put her up in our bed room and was able to get a nurse to check on her once a week through a NON-Profit organization. Well this has cost us to get behind on our mortgage and some other expenses.

We are seeking help. We are doing the best that we can under the circumstances. We are trying to modify our loan, but the process is tedious and time consuming. We have paid what we can on our mortgage but it is not enough. So we are seeking help f
rom anyone who can help. Anything will help us make ends meet, even if it is a dollar. Thank you and may GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

We got behind on mortgage when my wife and I went through fertility treatments to get pregnant. My wife was pregnant but lost baby after 21 weeks and now fertility Doctor says we can never have kids. Unfortunatly we have no more money to catch up mortgage. any help would be appreciated.

Family Needs YOUR Help
My name is Charlie, I am married to my best friend and have the best 7 month old son I could ask for. My family and I are In a bit of a problem spot. Having just been laid off and having cleaned out my saving account over the past few months, we haven’t been able to pay our mortgage. If we are unable to come up with $4,000 in the next month we will have the only nice, stable thing in our lives taken away. I know that its alot to ask for but we are desperate need. ANYTHING you can do will help. Every penny helps. Thanks so much and god bless.

I had a real life changing year in 2010, and now I’m suffering for all the losses and mishaps.
I am behind on my mortgage payments, including utilities/cable/internet, car financing payments –
I was a victim of a work place related injury in which I was to be fully compensated by WCB, but now the company that I used to hold employment with says that they are not responsible and will not be paying me for my injuries.
Because of this suit, I lost my job a few months ago and now am falling extremely behind on all my bills, most importantly to me is my home. Without it, I won’t have anywhere to go to at the end of every day.
Naturally, like most people I would try and go for a loan to help my debt but unfortunately I also have bad credit, and if anyone out there has bad credit as well – you will know how hard it is to fix credit if you’re already so far in the hole. My credit is even worse now with my missed mortgage payments.
I am asking for any donations, even 2cents would be of help.
Right now, I am totaling approximately $8,000 in debt. =(

Hi… I have been unemployed for three months and counting. My work permit expired and I wont get a new one until probably February, and I haven;t been able to pay my bills and am also negative on my bank account by $400. The bank made it clear that the negative balance will continue increasing unless I bring it up to positive, and that can’t happen until I get my work permit. I haven’t paid the mortgage, my dad has a heart condition and can’t work, my little sister has a learning disability, and all in all, my whole family is waiting on their work permit as well. This is the first time in my life that I go days without eating, and the next step will be that we will lose our home and live on the street. Please help me with anything you can. I don’t know where else to turn for help. Thank You

I am 61 year old grandmother who lost my job at the end of April. I get 235 a week unemployment. I also get 200 a month in food stamps. My computer crashed so I go to the library every day and apply for jobs. I have 30 years retail experiance so I’m sure I will get a job. My mortgage company has reduced my loan to 4.25% with a payment of 681.

I have been trying to keep up with utilities so now I’m 300 short for mortgage. I plan on panhandling on a corner this weekend. I have never done this before or got unemploment and food stamps but I will do anything to keep my home.

God Bless You

Hi,
My name is Tabitha and I just bought a house about 6 months ago. Then about 1 month ago I lost my job. Now my mortgage payment and electricity bills are coming and I have NO way of paying them. I don’t even have money for food, which I am slowly running out of. I am so desperate and really need your help.
Thanks so much for reading this and I really hope and pray you find it in your heart to help me.

I am at this time out of money and behind on the mortgage by just this month. I need help to maintain fuel to get to work and some groceries for me, my wife and kids.

I’ve kept up with most all bills except mortgage to keep utilities going. I know once we make it just a few weeks we should be able to catch up. It will just be one tight ride until then.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks!
