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!
