I live alone here in Indianapolis, IN. December of last year I moved to a new location and had my electric service transferred to my new location. AES the power company here failed to shut off my service at my old address on the date that I had asked them to (12/02/22) instead they shut service off at the end of December. As a result of this my first power bill was over 1000.00 dollars (due to them combining my final bill with my current new bill at my new address). I’ve been struggling with this bill since the first of this year I’ve applied for assistance which has brought the amount down some, but not enough to where I can maintain it. I’m on a monthly fixed income from social security disability, I still have to pay my rent and I’m at the point where either I pay all of the power bill or my rent (I can’t afford to pay both), and due to the spring/summer months it is harder to get anymore assistance at this time. I’m scared because I’m constantly getting disconnect notices, I don’t know what else to do at this point my power is going to be shut off soon if can’t get any help. Please can someone help me.

Please Immediate Help to Keep Our Home. No one ever plans for hardship and it always hits like a brick. Summons and foreclosure any day now.

I am asking for immediate donations of $14236.55 ($12,736.55 plus $1500 foreclosure lawyer fees) to keep my home out of getting a foreclosure date and summons that can be any day now. The home’s total outstanding principle is $101, 705.65. It would be also especially helpful to get additional funds to help with a couple of future payments to get on good terms with the mortgage company again.

The mortgage company won’t work with us because I missed late mediation payment 2 of 3 due to having bronchitis even with trying to submit the money a week late. I have contacted local and state assistance and everything will take months to even consider. A friend told me about this site.

We want to keep the house and not be homeless so I am reaching out for any assistance. I have sold everything I can to make the money for bills while helping our little girl succeed in virtual school. My husband is in injured back treatment and paperwork is months to be considered for any help. Everything I make is what can help with until my spouse is healed to return to work.

It feels like an emergency to me. And it really does, but I just push forward and continue to do the best I can, literally giving one hundred percent day in and day out, and yet I feel as though I never get ahead. Most days I feel behind I’ll admit that to the fullest. So back story, which I do hope someone, anyone will read. God help me, here it goes…my name is Allison. It’s my real name, not some fake internet name or street name or stripper name or anything other than my real name. I just turned the big four oh and I live in central Florida. I’ve never “begged for money”, if I’m keeping it transparent I used to just take money. I had to just come right out and say it because this calls for 400 words to explain why I need money and if I provided you my life story it would be a series of books so I have to shorten it up a bit. So right, my name is Allison, I just turned 40 and I live in central Florida and so far you know that instead of asking for money, I used to just take it. So why am I asking now? To put it simply, and hopefully I don’t sound too cliché, but I’m a different person these days. If whomever might read this, I honestly hope it reaches someone who is similar to me, someone who can relate but has made it, someone who just feels for me because they have a brother or a sister or a friend or someone they care deeply for who is going through or has gone through the things I’m going through right now. I don’t know who this will reach, God maybe, which if you believe like I do then you know like I know that God is already reading this as I type it, matter fact God knew I was going to write it before I wrote it, crazy right. So getting back to topic, I have never begged for money, however as of recent I’ve reached a point of despair I guess I’ll call it. I have a great life and I worked hard after fucking it up completely to get my life back and moved forward to a point where I literally shed tears thinking about what I created and where that got me and where I am now. To replay that for you in precise terms, I have been to prison three times and jail countless times, I’ve done just under a decade of time behind bars when you add it all up, and no matter how much time is added up it all equals to where I am now. And for the most part I’m ok with that. I took years to go through the traumas we sometimes go through in life such as death all around me from loved ones passing on from drug overdoses, murders, car accidents and even one form bone cancer. I started using drugs and went through many phases of different drugs ending up years later on opiates. I gave birth to my one and only child in prison. My son is now fourteen and 6’4”, he has his own issues being a teenager of course, he’s amazing in basketball, shooting 3’s like the next Steph Curry. He used to visit me every weekend in prison with my Dad. So let me say this, after telling you all that, I am a different person and the same all at the same time. Maturity and accountability were never in my vocabulary. I used to blame anything and everyone for my issues until somewhere along the line I had to take responsibility for all the lying, stealing and manipulation that comes along with someone who is an addict. I’m humble to the crimes I committed of which I did time for, I’m humble to the people who loved me and love me now that I wronged. I’m going to get cliché one more time and say that it changed for me with God. And I’m sorry not sorry because its super cliché but so true. I didn’t change until I was in a confinement cell with my only book being a Bible. When it’s your only book and you’re stuck in a cell for 60 days, 24 hours a day, 3 days a week you get a shower for 5 minutes (no shampoo, come on people with hair you know you need shampoo, gross for real for real) but yeah, when the Bible is all you have to read, trust and believe you’re going to read it. I’ll tell you this and God knows it, I read that Bible and I had read it so many different times in my life, but I read that Bible then, it was like I was reading my own love letters, not someone else’s. It all made sense to me. And now 2 years later, living my best life (except financially) I’m still reading those love letters. I have an amazing family, I’m the only one out of all my family, even my family in Philly, that has ever been locked up, ever been addicted like I was. The point is, and I don’t deserve shit except what I deserve I know, but the point is, I am different. I could go on and on. But if you’d like testimonies, witness statements lol, if you want to talk to people, real people who know me, who knew my struggle, who now know my success, I can give you numbers or whatever. I know who I was, I was a sad drug addict who lost a lot of people at a young age and went though some super traumatic shit, and that was why I continued using drugs, and it just got worse and worse, to the point of me stealing and lying to my family, I did some messed up shit, and then I was so far gone that I drove a car for a man I didn’t even know so he could rob some houses so that I could get drugs and erase my memories. I’m sorry to be so blunt, but I’m not dogging myself because although I know who I used to be and all the fucked up shit I used to do, I also know who I am now. I don’t use drugs anymore unless you count marijuana, and I’m just being transparent so before you judge me and say marijuana is a drug, I want you to hear my reasons…I have mental health issues just like everyone else in the world, I’ve seen things in my life that I can’t erase from my mind, the old me would just get wasted on whatever and the new me smokes a little weed. It keeps me from being a zombie on psychotropic medications and I feel personally that it helps especially with triggers from previous addictions to harder drugs. Needless to say I am drug free, I am chaos free, my soul is free, I am free and able to live a life in the free world with my son. I work extremely hard to be a stand up citizen and to me the only real apology I could ever give anyone that I hurt or affected during that terrible time in my life, the only apology could ever be change. And so over a very long time, that literally was rebuilt thru blood, sweat and tears, I did in fact rebuild my life. And it was fucking hard, it’s still fucking hard. I had this silly notion that once I stopped using drugs, once I started living right by God’s standards, once I had moved on and closed that huge chapter of my life, well I thought things would be easy. News flash, life is so much harder. It is discouraging to know that when I was living that life I could hustle up money by any means which of course were typically illegal ways to make money. Nowadays, I’m reformed, so I don’t steal (not even a pack of gum), I don’t lie, I don’t manipulate people the way I used to so that I get them to go about my ways and leach money from them. No, nowadays I go to work and I love it. I love working, I always have. On my days off, I pick up a house to clean for extra money or I pick up a bartending day shift at one of my old jobs. I try to find and learn these online money making ideas, such as affiliate marketing and drop shipping, so that I may have a passive income. Trust and believe, I am surrounding by extremely smart people, but I would never and could never ask them for what I’m about to ask you, because as amazing and smart and successful as these lovely people are, they are just regular people like me. Money’s tight, bills have to be paid. I have a 14-year-old son like I said, who now refuses to go to school after covid and has really taken a turn for the worst and I said to him,’son I finally have my life together and your life is a mess’. And then of course I pray and I pray and I pray. Don’t get me wrong my life is good, it’s great actually. I smile every day. But I cry too. Because the things people take for granted, I just want in the first place. Like a car. I finally got my license back after years of not having it and I’m proud of that, as I should be. Bottom line, I’m asking for help, financial help, to get the basic things I need that will help propel me forward faster than I’m able to do so on my own. I am asking for help in the form of money so that I can secure a reliable vehicle to get to and from work. My goal is to raise $10k and if there’s anyone who can pay it forward to another human being who is as real as they come, then please if you’re that person, help me out. I would be eternally grateful and the best thanks I could give to anyone who might be able to help, is change and progress. Thank you in advance to any help you can provide. Any donations to my cause are welcomed and so so appreciated,

and can be sent to my paypal account paypal.me/allymo09

My name is Stephine. I am a mother to two children, one of whom is about to graduate in a few days. I come here desperate, ashamed and lost. Desperate because I have no other options at this point. I work full time and should make a livable wage, but seem to fall short most times. I have raised my children without their fathers help most of their lives and i do not have parents or family to fall back on. I never have. Failure is not an option for me but i fear i may be close this time. I have attempted to make extra money on numerous occasions but it never seems to work out. I was doing well a few years ago, all bills were paid and even some ahead of time. But within that time I needed to buy a new car, our landlord raised our rent and the price of everything went up. I do not receive assistance for food because i make too much. I feel like i am stuck in that grey area of making too much to qualify for anything but not making enough to get by.  I could sit here and glorify my situation in an attempt to get more potential donations but thats not who I am or what I want to do. Life just really sucks right now and i have exhausted all my options. My credit score took a nosedive because ive fallen behind on all my payments. And every time i think im getting ahead, something happens. I am two months behind on rent and fear eviction (rent is 1100/month), my care is two months behind (400/month) and my other car that i only owe $600 on is going to get repossessed because i havent even been able to pay the $90 a month payment on that. I dont even drive that car, its broken (which is why i needed a new car) but still need to pay on it. I have a $2000 therapy bill and my therapist wont take me anymore until i pay my balance down. I suffer from extreme anxiety from trauma induced by my past relationship with the father of my children (emotional, verbal and sometimes physical abuse) I have PTSD from this and it is very difficult for me to do “normal” everyday things. But i push through most days because i have people who depend on me and look up to me, i cannot let them down. The car that i just purchased a year ago already needs two new tires and work done on it (the wheel shakes every time i stop). My daughter is graduating in a few days and the expenses that come along with that are quite high, even with budgeting (instead of hiring a photographer for senior photos, we got creative and did them with our phones). Our water bill is 1500 as well as our electric bill. Ive gotten so far behind because ive borrowed so much to just stay afloat that things are all coming to a head. All my extra money goes to groceries and its still not enough. I am so exhausted and am afraid this is where all of my luck runs out. I am only asking for what i would need to catch back up. I always pay it forward whenever i can and even when i cant. I can guarantee that i would be back here as soon as i got back on my feet to help someone else who may be in the same position as i am right now. Because i know how it feels…its degrading and defeating and suffocating. Again, i am only asking for what i would need to catch up which is $5,000. I do not desire more than i need. I am literally begging, this is my only option. I am new to this so i think i can only post one photo, but i have more if needed. The one posted is my rent but the breakdown of what i need is as follows…my therapy bill ($2000), the ones of rent are proving that my rent is $1100/month. I am $730 behind plus i havent been able to pay May as well which makes me $1880 behind in total ($50 late fee, and actually $330 of that $730 are all late fees). The photos of my rent receipts also show that i am trying to pay and am not just asking for someone to pay my bills without me doing any of the work. I am behind 839.74 on my current car payment. Nobody will help you until you start doing the work yourself…I have been doing the work, for so long and i just keep getting pushed back at every chance. Any help I can get would mean the absolute world to me and i can guarantee I WILL pay it forward.
