Scam Victim…Looking for extra help to get back on my feet

Hello there,

Le me start with a quick introduction about myself. I prefer to remain anonymous. I am 33 years of age now. I lost my restaurant at 27 when covid reared its ugly head. I was a business owner at 25 in the food and beverage industry after falling in love with it after years of tending bar. After losing the business due to covid I worked numerous odd jobs while looking out my next long term venture. I was desperate and got involved with a gentleman in the IT world. later to find out he was a scammer and had several victims in the US like myself. I lost everything I had ever worked for due to desperate times. I am now working full time again but just looking and asking for a little extra help to get ahead to get provide a good life for my girlfriend and dogs. All I want is a ring and wedding and a place to call for us soon. Just seems impossible after all the events that I went through recently.

I appreciate the time to read this and thank you if you decide to help me get back on my feet and feel a sense of hope once again!

Single Dad needs help saving house.

Hello, my name is Michael.  I am a single dad to 2 children.  I work very hard at two jobs trying to support my kids by myself.  I think I do a pretty good job, but there are just some things that are out of my control and leads me to this site asking for help.  My Daughter is 20 and in college.  She was able to get some grants and loans to pay for school.  She works and takes care of most of her own expenses, but I help out when she needs extra.  My son is 14 and lives with me full time.  I take care of almost all of his needs financially.  Their mother does not help out much.  She does by some clothes for my son every Christmas, and I am thankful for that.  When Covid hit I lost my job and started to fall behind.  I was able to keep up with most of my bills including feeding the family, but I wasn’t able to make the payments on my Real-estate taxes for my home.  I truly thought it was something that I could easily catch back up on.  Unfortunately, they do not let you make payments on these taxes after you fall behind.  I was told to continue to pay the following years taxes and save the money to pay the past due all at once.  The total is $6500.  Every time I get a little saved something comes up and I am behind again.  I work 2 jobs and I am still having trouble saving the money to pay past due amount.  I have 2 months to come up with $6500 or my son and I are going to be homeless.  Any help would be appreciated!  You can donate here at paypal.me/michaellefler

Family Facing Eviction and Crisis After Medical Emergency—Seeking Urgent Help

Dear kind-hearted people,

I am reaching out today with a heavy heart and a deep sense of urgency. I find myself in an incredibly difficult and unexpected situation, one that I never thought I would experience. I have always worked hard to provide for my family and ensure that we live with dignity, but recent circumstances have put us in a financial crisis that I can no longer manage on my own.

I am the sole provider for my family, which includes my spouse and my father and mother. For years, I have worked as an Accounts Manager at a retail company, doing my best to balance the books, pay bills, and manage our daily expenses. Despite living modestly and planning carefully, a series of unfortunate events has left us struggling to make ends meet.

Recently, my father fell seriously ill and required emergency medical treatment. We do not have comprehensive health insurance, and the hospital bills quickly mounted to more than we could afford. To cover the immediate costs, I used up all our savings and maxed out our credit cards. Just as we thought we were getting through the worst of it, I lost my job due to company downsizing, further compounding our difficulties.

With no income and mounting debt, we are now in a dire situation. We are behind on our rent, and the landlord has issued a notice of eviction. Our electricity and water bills have piled up, and we’re at risk of losing basic utilities. Worst of all, I fear that my children may soon be without a home or access to the stability they desperately need.

I have been applying for jobs tirelessly, but so far, nothing has come through. In the meantime, we are struggling to put food on the table, let alone cover the overwhelming expenses that keep coming our way.

I am humbly asking for your help during this emergency. Any contribution, no matter how small, would help us cover rent, utilities, and basic necessities while I continue searching for work and getting back on my feet. This has been one of the hardest times in my life, and I would be forever grateful for any assistance that can help my family get through this.

It’s been a long winter

Six months ago I packed up my son and cat and moved cross country from a very bad nasty situation to start a new life. Truth be told it was the best decision I could have  ever made for us. And in so, I’m asking your help please.

My son has Asperger’s and that makes things difficult sometimes because he’s different from your regular kid. This break has helped him come out of his shell. I see him smile these days and that makes it all worth it.

So here we are in this new town and things are super tough right now as we don’t know anybody and have no family.

I have fallen behind on all my payments and rental. The collectors are now threatening to repo and take legal action. Food and essentials are nearly finished and I’m at a loss of what next steps to take. Our cat has not had food since yesterday and I’m freaking out. She’s such a loving soul, been purring and giving me loves thinking I’m about to haul out a new bag of food. It’s hectic. I tried giving her ground beef but she won’t eat it.

I had to sell my laptop two months ago which was the worst thing to ever happen as I normally freelance on Upwork. I am using my sons PC now which is old but it still does the job. Only thing is I don’t have any money to buy more connects which are necessary to bid for jobs on the platform. It’s essential that I get more connects like yesterday to find work.

Im feeling in over my head. $7000 in debt and freaking out a bit. But I do know a new contract can fix this mess.

All I need is some food and connects for Upwork to find a new contact and sort things out.

If you are able to help us, it would mean the world to me. I can’t stand being in this position. It’s honestly humiliating and very unnerving.

Thanks for taking the time <3

Hoping for a Little Help

Hello all. My name is Brandon.

Let me start by saying thank you for being lovely human beings and taking the time to come on this site and spread love to those in need. May everything come back to you tenfold!

I ‘am not necessarily facing any kind of impending doom like many others here seem to be. Infact I’m healthy, able bodied, and very ambitious.

Formerly addicted to drugs as well as in and out of the system (Never for anything Hanus). I’ve been clean now for over six months and all I want to do is become a productive member of society.

I have recently enrolled in Santa Monica college to get my general education credits and have also been taking courses online through LADWP to become an electrician. Not to mention looking for work on Indeed as well as attending job fairs and going to interviews. I work as security at a local night club whenever they need me though it’s not consistent, it is presently my only source of income.

I’m just trying to stay afloat until I can land some kind of consistent work. I don’t have any living family that I could ask to help me and in the interest of my sobriety I’ve been forced to cut ties at least temporarily with many of my friends who are still in their addiction. You could say I’m kind of alone in the world and that’s why I’m here asking you for help.

I don’t ask for much; I’m just trying to keep a roof over my head and food in my stomach. Anything helps and is more appreciated than you could imagine. Furthermore, I’am not a bum, just a man in a transitional period of his life. I fully intend on paying forward all the kindness bestowed upon me tenfold once I find my place in the world and am able to do so. Thank you for taking the time to read my story. If you feel inclined to help Thank You and if not Thank you all the same for even considering it.

Requesting for funds for my family to pay help buy medication and pay off house loan and studies

Hi, I’m Henry, been working since young doing part time to help my family. It wasn’t easy starting off as my dad use to gamble, but he has then since changed for the better. It’s just that he is getting old, he use to be the sole bread winner for the house but now I help him with my full time job as well.

I’m hoping for funds to help

1) my mum buy her medication and see the doctor

2) pay off my house loans so my family doesn’t have to worry about it

3) pay off my siblings school loans so that they can focus on studying.

I do require a large amount I don’t really want to say it out because it doesn’t seem right to be asking for so much hence any little amount given could help a lot.

I am not in debt, I don’t gamble, I just want my family to live a peaceful life without worries

If you could truly help me, it would be of great assistance, I can only be grateful to you and all there isn’t anything else much I can do. Thanks again for reading this may you have a blessed year ahead and stay safe everyone it isn’t easy but yea

Financial Assistance With My Sisters Funeral Expenses

On August 14 2024 at 14:30,  I found my sister dead in her motorhome.

This was one of the worst days of my life, over the past 5 years I have buried my mom, dad, older brother, Nana, Aunty and now my sister. For the past 5 years my sister has been battling a trauma induced addiction because of the loss of our parents 6 months apart from each other. She was left to deal with both of their estates, I was in school and both out brothers were fishing ( they were both commercial fisherman ) On September 21 2022 I found my brother on our moms kitchen floor. I had called him to come help with our sister who had been placed on a hold in the hospital. I begged him to come off the boat he did on September 20th, then the next morning as I was getting ready for my bday I got a call that the ambulance was at our moms. I raced over and found my sister holding onto our brother screaming for him to wake up. That event made her spiral even further into the cruel and unfair world of addiction.

On July 11 our Nana passed away and on July 16th our aunty passed away unexpectedly. My sister went MIA. On July 19th her motorhome with her cats was towed to a property and no one new that her cats were inside. For 8 days I stayed and took care of the cats and then my sister finally showed up. For three weeks she didn’t leave my side. I fed her daily morning afternoon and night. I made sure she had what she needed (minus the narcotics). on August 1st I found out she had not been on her thyroid medication for over a month (she had radiation over 20 years ago and it killed her thyroid completely ) She needed this medication to make sure her body functioned properly. She was also on withdrawal medication to try and help her get off the opioids. She started to go into detox on the 11 and I had a doctors appointment set up for her on the 15th this was to get all her medication refilled and to get her back on a program to help with detoxing. On August 14th I showed up to pick her up and when I opened her door because she did not answer I found her laying on her bed eyes open jaw clinched, blankets pulled up to chin and she was gone. The last 5 years have taken a toll on the remainder of our family financially emotionally and mentally, I am reaching out to ask for help and I thank anyone and everyone who donates to help my family lay her to rest, Her service is September 20 2024 at 1130 am in parksville BC.

Single Mother of 5 in a Financial Bind.

To anyone who reads this,

Thank you for taking the time, My name is Elaine and I am a mother to 5 amazing children ages 20,18, 16,14,and 13. I was married for 15 years to an abusive man however I have with the help of my mother friends and family done very well by my children. My youngest daughter has special needs but this post is in regard to my 14 year old. She is an exemplary A student whom I got to attend a prestigious Boarding School here in Maryland. My daughter’s remaining school tuition is $8,000 of which I have tirelessly been trying to accrue so that I can sign her enrollment agreement for this year. It is due ASAP. I do not have it , neither do friends and family. I am not to proud to ask however, I am embarrassed that I have to ask at the 11th hour for such a large sum of money. I have written the school to plea for an extension on the due date and for them not to release her slot. They have graciously granted my wish however they can not wait much longer.

This is a last resort of faith . I am asking for emergency help for this very deserving young lady of mine who will make a great difference in the world some day. Thank you for even considering this request. I have never done anything like this before. but I will say that I intend to pay it forward 10 fold . I am grateful for any amount of help towards this request. My Cashapp is :$Manifestm0re4me. the o is a zero. My Zelle is: livetoprogress@gmail.com

In Gratitude,

Humble Mother

DV Survivor in Need of Help to Move Forward for my Son

Hi there!

Thanks so much for stopping by, helping, and reading my story. I am a 30 year old single mom. I spent 7 years in an extremely violent and abusive ( in every way) relationship, with my son’s father. Luckily, I was able to get out alive and I’m thankful for that every day. It takes so much time and patience to heal from that situation especially when I’m also helping my son heal from the emotional trauma. The only reason I was even able to push past the fear to get out of that relationship was because I so desperately wanted better for my child. Now that we’re in a better place, I’m doing everything I can to push forward and give my son the life he deserves.

Unfortunately, on top of the abuse I was left with a lot of debt and no car (He stole my car, disappeared with it, it was later found and repossessed, because it was under my name they can’t do anything about it so I owe them about $6,000 on top of all the credit card debt). I don’t have any financial help or physical help with my child. I count on school for care while I work. What I make at my current job is only enough for my necessities. I’m not able to save, I can’t get a car, and I’ve been paying the minimum on all my debt. I’ve been in a never ending cycle of debt because I have to keep re-using the same debt I just paid to survive. This is no way to keep living.

I’ve decided I want to go back to school so I can better my son’s life. I want a career with good salary so I can comfortably provide for my child. I’m going back to school for Radiology. I’ve already been accepted, but the school is somewhat far from my son’s school.  In order to make our schedules work I would need a car to get back in time to pick up from afterschool. Also having a car would allow me to get a second part time job with door dash or amazon flex, which I would do after school pick up with my child.

I’ve always been a hard working, honest person. Also the type of person that was scared, or too prideful to ask for help. So, as a last resort to try and make my situation easier and give my son a better life, I’ve come on here to ask for help. I need help to pay off some of my debt, so I have less to pay monthly. I desperately need money for a car and insurance as well. Please if anyone out there can find it in their hearts to help,  it would be the biggest blessing for my son and I.

P.S. as much as I would want to share more specific details, I cannot due to safety issues. As my son’s father has not been arrested for his crimes against my son and I.

Thank you so much in advance. God bless you all, and may your donations always be paid forward.

URGENT $,2000 REQUEST FOR FUNDING FOR AUTO REPAIRS: (Posted 8/25/2024)

 (Posted 8/25/2024) I am submitting this request to assist me in the repairs to my vehicle – a 2007 Volkswagen Passant wagon. This vehicle recently stopped running a week and half ago when the alternator quit on it. I had previously replaced the starter at a cost of $600, only to be faced with replacing the alternator which had previously been diagnosed as operative.

My vehicle has a bigger problem that is causing my need for financial help (which may have caused the demise of the starter and alternator – there appears to be a serious problem in the vehicle’s electrical system that is destroying other parts in the car and causing to batteries be completely drained every 3 weeks.

I have found a mechanic who can fix the electrical problem.

The repair of this vehicle’s electrical problem is the basis for my submission of this request because this repair cost will exceed the funds that I have available to me, and I am in desperate need of transportation.

I purchased this vehicle May 28th, 2021 from a Toyota dealership in San Louis Obispo, California. Over the last three years, I have replaced at least 4 batteries. In addition, I would exhaust my AAA roadside assistance within 3 months after I renewed my membership each year. My financial hole dug deeper and deeper every month as I was constantly stranded getting jump starts, buying new batteries every 1-6 months, and seeking out different mechanics to diagnose the ultimate cause of what started out as an unknown problem.

I invested my own funds for batteries and diagnosis of the problem.

I am a writer and author and have been working on a major publication which will be ready for publication in September 2024, and have exhausted funds that I need to market my new book.

These monthly interruptions have also seriously affected my ability to earn a living and the quality of my life. Imagine being stranded every month never knowing when or where I will be stranded, and then resolving my problems with different mechanics, friends to get jumps, borrowing money – only to repeat the same pattern every month – sometimes every week. In some instances, this problem would occur the next time I stopped the vehicle!

I should mention at this point that I am 76 years old and was 73 when I purchased this car. I also need transportation to visit doctors and purchase my required medication.

Initially I called the Toyota dealer who sold me this used vehicle because the battery that came with the car was still under warranty when the battery died. I complained to the service manager at the dealer about my battery problem, and that it was still under warranty at the time that I purchased the vehicle. The Service manager refused to discuss the matter or even replace the battery which was still under warranty. He informed me that I needed to contact Volkswagen. I asked to speak to the owner of dealership who was available but also refused to discuss my vehicle problem or even talk with me. I sent a letter to Toyota confirming this.

It was a few months as the problems continued, I realized that the dealership knew the vehicle had this problem because neither Toyota or the dealership offered to help me diagnose the problem despite my constant complaints and willingness to pay for the repair. They seemed to want me to disappear and shown no interest to want to help me diagnose the problem.

I also complained dozen of times to Toyota who financed the vehicle. Toyota also ignored my complaints and also made no effort to inquire with dealer about my car troubles despite my frequent phone calls and emails to Toyota. I don’t believe that Toyota made any effort to contact the dealer about my compliant.

It took me almost 3 years to have the problem professionally diagnosed as an electrical short. Electrical problems can be illusive, so I was forced to solve the problem by a process of elimination.

The cost of an electrical repair is unpredictable and could be extremely prohibitive because mechanics charge an hourly rate to diagnose and repair an electrical problem. This is the only vehicle I own. It could take days or weeks more to diagnose and repair this problem. I want to keep the car because I have heavily invested in this vehicle, and I believe it can be permanently repaired now that I know the nature of the problem which could only be diagnosed by a process of elimination.

I am specifically requesting $2,000.00 to repair my vehicle. My request includes the cost of replacing the alternator, the diagnosis and repair of the ongoing electrical shorts and a number minor electrical repairs. This vehicle was recently towed when it stopped running. I will be paying the cost of the tow and storage which I estimate to be $1000.00.

You can make a contribution to me at PayPal.me/philsmithjr1.

Thank you for your consideration and support.

Need to pay $900 September rent + storage in Ky

I live in, what used to be, an affordable apt above a business. It’s a dive with leaking ceilings, bad electric, splintering floors and home to critters (in the attic space), but I can live with quite a bit of inconvenience for the low rent. The lease renews on Sept 1st and they want a lot more (they hadn’t repaired anything) and worse, I don’t have any work.
6 months of searching, but being disabled (Ehlers Danlos Syndrome & chronic back pain) and 58 – I can only work from a reclined position (pain relief), so 99% of work available I cannot do – is difficult to say the least, though not impossible.  I just need a few more weeks to drum some income from other areas, like online help desks, but currently have about $30 in the bank.  I was a website developer for many years and it worked with my disability (been working remotely for 19 years), but lost ALL my clients between 2020 & 2022 (by 2022, my clients either closed permanently, filed bankruptcy or stopped providing work to tighten their budget – all small businesses). This, in turn, cost me my house (which I was able to sell in 2023), my perfect credit is in shambles, I sold everything of value I had, now, after a year, have nothing left (made a little money) now facing homelessness. My long time friend (female) has a job, but really only has enough to pay for food, utilities, phone and gas (restaurant work) and I always paid for mortgage and rent (this last year of rent was paid for by my home sale and there’s no more).
I know something will crop up soon (hopefully), just need funds  for September 1st (up to the 5th) or we’ll both be evicted. This prospect I can’t imagine (if I were young, perhaps, but at this age w/my disabilities …).  She will hopefully have another job in the next week to make up for the difference.  I hope I’m not asking for too much.  If you can help, please, please, do! Even a little bit!

Drowning in debt and unable to afford life right now

I never thought I’d be doing something like this. Asking people for money. To be clear, I don’t want a handout; I intend to pay back every penny. Please, if someone would be willing to lend me a few thousand dollars, I will happily pay you back when I can. I’m married and we both work full time. My husband is an electrician and I’m a medical assistant. Money has always been tight, but we’d make it paycheck to paycheck. Recently I was diagnosed with relapsing multiple sclerosis, and even with insurance I’m left with thousands of dollars of debt from hospital stays, MRIs, medications, infusions…I’m on payment plans but can no longer afford to make those payments. That on top of student loans, my creditors, auto loans, 401k and hardship loan payments, we no longer earn enough to make ends meet. I’m grateful to still be able to work because I love my job, but I’ve gotten in over my head and we need help. I thought I would try the kindness of strangers as a last resort. I’ve killed my credit score, and we can’t get a loan to consolidate my debt. All I could get were payday loans with impossibly high interest rates and fees. And now I’m afraid of losing our home along with everything else.

In an attempt to not fall behind on mortgage payments I took out a payday loan. Then I had to take out another to try and pay the first one off quickly and keep up with the other bills. I was stupid enough and desperate enough to keep doing this and I’ve dug a hole so deep I can’t escape. Just for payday loans I owe around $2500 every two weeks. That’s deducted from my bank account twice a month, or every time I get paid. I only bring home around $1400 (after taxes, with overtime) per paycheck. I’ve dragged my husband down with me and now we’re both broke with horrible credit and zero options. I realize it’s my own fault for making such poor and impulsive decisions, but I thought if I could work enough hours then I would make up the difference. I underestimated how quickly the interest would pile on the loans, making them significantly more than what I initially borrowed, and just a few months after the fact. I tried to pay off the loans one at a time with lump sum payments, but the lenders only apply a tiny percentage to the actual loan while the majority goes to “fees.” My bank account is currently in the negative at $1500 and I don’t know what to do. Everything is past due, and we have no way to pay. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated, and I promise to pay you back in full. Thank you for reading this to the end.

Sr. over 70 needing help

I am over 70 and my wife is a disabled Navy veteran. We are living in a small Missouri town. We have been unable to pay some medical bills and prescriptions costs. My wife gets her prescriptions and medical all from the VA but my medical costs are all on me with what Medicare does not cover. We have gotten deeper in debts from the costs of food, groceries and living expenses almost doubling in the last 4 years. We live on a totally fixed income from Social Security. As will most all government or assistance programs we make to much to qualify for any help. We are desperate for help to get our debts paid so we can afford to live on what we make. In all Honesty we have had to use credit cards to live on and made some small personal loans to help us. I am ashamed to say we have just dug ourselves a deeper hole financially. Neither of us are in good health and are unable to just get a job as I have been told to do by some who are uncaring about the problems of others. I have had two strokes and a heart attack and am unable to work.
