Begging Money

Financial Hardship Help

uh i don’t know what title to put

I’m 25 and struggling with my mental health issues and minor drug/drink issues, I lost my job due to depression and anxiety, I feel like I’m losing touch with reality, my mum has a condition called Fibromyalgia that will eventually render her immobile, and she’s already pretty bad at the moment, she also has mental health disorders and issues stemming from childhood that make her a tough person to talk to at times, she struggles to help herself, yet she loves helping others, sometimes she’s in bed for up to 16 hours a day, which isn’t healthy at all but I know she’s depressed and lonely. She’s pushing away all her friends.

I’ve been an asshole to her, and I can’t seem to help it or make a change in my own behaviour. I want to help her, but I know there’s not much I could do, and it frustrates the hell out of me, I still live with her and some of my siblings, it feels like I am trapped here, endlessly, I don’t even want to feel trapped, but I do, because of the mindboggling arguments we have over the stupidest things at times. If I had the money, we would move to Spain, where it’s warmer and her condition would not be as greatly affected by the weather, she’s talked about Spain a lot.

I’ve tried going to doctors, and I am filled with mistrust, not only in doctors but also in therapists and my own family. I can’t even talk to people in general at all very well at the moment. Any conversation I initiate or anyone initiates with me, comes to a dead stop.  I don’t know what to do, as I feel like I don’t even want to do anything anymore. Not die or live, I am stuck in this void in an emotionless state, forever to be an observer.

Before I lost my job, I started investing in some Cryptocurrency, mainly Ripple’s XRP, I really hope one day it will help me and my family out and hopefully we could move to Spain, but I don’t think I have enough to make a real difference to their lives, I also don’t know if it will even pay off anyway, as is the way with speculating.

Thank you for reading this, I just needed a little vent, anything that would help my situation would be greatly appreciated.

Following a dream

Hi my name is Jennifer I am 45 year old married into a blended family . We have 8 kids total. Growing up was frightening . I remember things as early as 12 . Being sexually abused by my step father and being mentally abused by my mother . My sister and I stuck together as much as we could . She is 3.5 years older than me . I was so sad when I knew we had to go to foster care . When I was about 13 the cops showed up to my door and sad let’s go . We were than in foster care for about 2 years . I didn’t want to go back home so I asked my caseworker if I could be emancipated and of course it was a no . That I wasn’t ready yet . So I got the big news at 16 that I was able to get emancipated . It took a couple months but I did it . I continued to go to school and work at night . I graduated in 1992 with my class . So proud . I still never talked to my mom . I asked where my father was and she said she didn’t know . So I searched and searched and 4 months later I got a letter in the mail . From him . I told him everything that happened to me and my sister . He was so angry . At the age of 21 I met my ex husband now . We had 3 kids . They are 22,18 and 15 now . In 2007 we ended our marriage due to him cheating . He gave me sole custody of all 3. That same year my dad committed suicide . Omg so so sad . He made me in charge of all his belongings . That was a huge mess . We had to pay for some things of his . I had so many mixed emotions . In 2009 I met my current husband . I started beauty school in 2010 and we also got married that same year . We ended up getting orders to Maine . I was only aloud to take my oldest Haley she was 9 and the other two my ex was making them stay per my divorce decree . I signed and couldn’t bring them out of the state . That was absolutely miserable . I had to pay half of everything . He told me lies and that he would pay for them to fly back and fourth . He said he would get the highest paying attorney . I felt weak . So I worked two jobs just so I could afford to pay half everytime they would come visit . We used all our savings . But I didn’t care . We moved back to the west coast in 2015 . I owe my student loan I wasn’t able to finish because after we were sent to Maine my husband got orders out for 4-6 Months . So I had to take care of his kids and my 1. I worked worked worked to make ends meet . I know my family never thought that I could be emancipated at such a young age but I did it . And I do have to say I am very proud of myself . Last year my sister was diagnosed with thyroid cancer . Very hard year . I made sure to be right by her side . I recently had a MRI done on my spine and the doctor called me and found a nodule on my thyroid . Now my journey begins . Scared . I have a dream of one day opening my own coffee stand . I love to make people smile and be happy . I have student loans to pay off of $4000-$6000 . I just need to some help getting to where I want to be . I just need some help getting there 💗

I’M ALL OUT OF OPTIONS

I guess I’ve been in denial for a long time now. Not sure how I make it past today to be perfectly honest. Look I understand that there are problems far greater than mine. Better reasons to give to someone else I’m sure. Even so, I hope you can at the very least hear me out.

 

Last year around this time I got sick. Like 9 emergency room visits in 6 weeks sick. First it was a panic attack, then it was a myocardial contusion then it honestly got to a point where the doctors didn’t know what was happening to me.

I didn’t even think about the bills at the time because my health was my priority. So I didn’t have health insurance and I made 9 emergency room visits, that included every monitor and scan you can think of, multiple times having blood drawn for tests, follow up meetings with doctors and don’t even get me started on all of the medicines.

But it’s my health right. What was I supposed to do, just give up on living? Of course not, so I emptied my savings, maxed out my credit cards and liquidated my retirement all in the name of repairing my health.

Now just a year later, I workout every day, I’ve lowered my stress as much as possible given the circumstances; but because of my health scare I’ve been unemployed for 9 months now (no unemployment benefits and didn’t qualify for food stamps if you’ll believe it); but I did just get cleared by my doctor to work for Uber and Lyft which if all goes well I can begin by October 27th with a car I’ll be renting from them; and they pay daily so that’ll be nice!

The unfortunate part is that my bank account as you can see in the picture is nearing the negative and Chase is going to take out $12 today for being under their $1,500 rule.

I tried to get a personal loan but that was a dead end. My credit cards are still maxed out. And My family members are all unable to help financially.

HERE’S WHERE I NEED YOUR HELP. 

I need a bridge to get me to October 27th. My expenses over the next 10 days or so are simple but costly.

I just need 2 grocery store visits (that include basic food for me to cook all week long plus my supplements that are cheaper than what the medicine at the pharmacy would cost) worth about $250 each visit ($500 total); I figure I can live without TV and other luxuries for a few days but if I could just receive a little help with the necessities, IT WOULD GO A LONG WAY.

If you can help, that would be greatly appreciated and I would love to keep in contact with you about how I plan on paying it forward once this UBER and LYFT job works out.

THANK YOU FOR EVEN MAKING IT THIS FAR

Desperate Mom Needs Help Fast

Hello my name is Irene Taylor. I am a 50 year old woman with 3 adult daughters that I raised. I have always done for people when they were in need and put there needs before my own. My body is now breaking down. I have fibromyalgia, tendinitis in my hands, carpal tunnel in my hands and have not been diagnosed yet but rheumatoid arthritis is possibly because of my swollen joints, I have also a valve in my heart that doesn’t work right. This all has been going on for around 8 years. This is my true story that has made me ask for help. I bought my house in 1996 and raised all my children here. A lot of good memories. In 2006 I met and married my husband. He was a smooth talker and we got along great but I didn’t know the truth of him completely. He hid his past from me and so did his family. The day I found out the truth was June 2019 when he overdosed on heroin on my bed in front of me and my youngest daughter. Paramedics revived him with narcan. I begged him to get help. He never did heroin around me and I don’t do any drugs so I don’t know what to look for. In April 2019 on my 50th birthday he was working and I received a phone call from a police officer saying that he was found wondering the street and was confused. When I picked him up he refused to go to the hospital and he couldn’t find his car, phone or keys. The next day he was fired because they said he stole a backhoe from another company and destroyed it. A month later he totaled my vehicle when he hit 4 vehicles while he was under the influence of drugs. Out of 13 years of marriage he has only worked 9 years because he always got fired. Two days after he overdosed he came clean to me and told me he has been an heroin addict and has taken any drug he could find to get high since he was 17 years old and he never stopped using drugs. He also told me that he was high on the day we got married and that he was using me so he could convince his family he was clean. Right after he told me all this he left me and moved to Michigan with his first cousin who he is sleeping with. He has drained my back account, maxed out my credit cards, left me with a 6 year mortgage, and left me with no vehicle. I have so many health problems and no work experience that I have not had any luck with finding a job. I have only $20,000 left on my mortgage, I need a new roof on my house ( I had money saved up for that but he stole that money ), I have borrowed around $15,000 from my 76 year old mother and my 58 year old brother but they don’t have anymore to give me. My credit cards maxed out around $24,000-$26,000. I tried getting a loan but my credit is bad now and no job so it’s impossible to get help. But besides my body being broken and my heart. I never ask for help but I am at a lost. I am not asking you for any specific amount. I am asking you if you could help me and any amount I will greatly appreciate it.

Thank you for listening to me and this nightmare of a story

Surprise baby

I’m not one to ask anyone for help, ever, so this is a little off for me. Little information about myself, I’m 28 years old, never married, no kids (except for my furbabies). I’ve went my entire 28 years with doctors telling me I could not conceive do to a four wheeler wreck I was in when I was 18 months old. To mine and my boyfriend’s surprise, 5 months ago we found out that we were expecting. My current home situation isn’t even close to ideal for a new addition to the family, we do have a nice yard for the dogs BUT the major problem is it is only 330 sq ft so we have absolutely zero space for anything to do with an infant. I’ve waited so long to post on here in hopes that we could come up with the money ourselves but unfortunately we have fallen shy of a typical move in payment. We would love to own a place of our own but we are more than happy to just rent, which is what we are doing now. I was in a 7 year relationship before my current and he wouldn’t allow me to go back to school to further my education to get a good career start. I do have a full time job but with the pay I’m getting it’s hard to pay my part of the bills plus save for a baby AND a new place. My current boyfriend, and child’s father, does construction and does get paid a decent amount but due to bad choices in the past he is currently paying off a few things and won’t be done paying until 2 months after our child is born.

With our current living situation we would have to get rid of our love seat (the only seating option other than the bed) to be able to afford a crib and we will still have to basically stack all the other things due to lack of storage. We aren’t asking for a huge miracle, just a little help from whoever is willing to offer it. We have found some places that would work but the cheapest is double what we pay now. We could stretch out budget more to make the rent and utility payments but the initial move in cost is pretty much out of reach. We have both looked into loans and what not but none have offered enough, we would have to get multiple loans from different companies to be able to do it. We are trying to steer clear from this option but it may end up being our only option.

If you would like to help out in any way it would be greatly greatly appreciated.

Thankful One

A78A005B-BDC7-4488-BA72-CF7DFFE567FC.jpegThankful… yes thankful, finding something to be thankful for in all things.
Before last March I had recently become divorced after 30 years of marriage. That was difficult. But then my mother, I think about her each and every day , passed away. That was more difficult.
I had also been suffering severe pain for the year prior which was diagnosed to be sciatica. Pain, I came to realize, was like a madness overtaking my body and mind. Pain became the only thing. Everything. Yes, I was going mad from the pain. Nothing helped. Chiropractors, Acupuncture, medication… nothing.

March, the day before spring break. I remember this date well as an educator for students with special academic needs it was an active time at school. The job, more than work to me, was something that I had struggled to function doing for the past year due to my pain that was constantly in my back and down my right leg. Again, the pain was everything.

I woke up that morning in March and could not go to the bathroom. My body would not let me go to the bathroom. Subsequently I had no feeling (except pain through the numbness) anywhere below my waist.
I went to the emergency room, they did an MRI which was by then excruciating to go through.
In a very short time they came to tell me I would be having urgently needed surgery. It was not only sciatica but a herniated bulging disc that had ruptured upon my nerves as well as spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spine). All I could think was, “Yes please”. Anything, anything that would take away whatever this demon in my body was. I remember the pump of morphine, the utter relief it sent to me. I slept, oh my gosh, I slept for the first time in months.
The surgery was successful to an extent that I do not suffer severe pain, however my feeling did not return. My nerves may repair themselves at some point. That door has not opened yet. I spent 16 days in the hospital. They had an amazing rehabilitation center there.
I worked hard to gain some strength back and was thankful to gain even more humility, becoming familiar with the stroke victims and others that were working to get back to their normal. Though I believe all of us there knew that our old normal would not be our new normal.
I believe all things happen for a reason. This belief proved itself to me again when a 30 year old man arrived in the rehabilitation unit. A 30 year old man that had been one of my students in middle school. I don’t know if I was there to encourage him or if he was there to brighten my spirits by letting me encourage him. Perhaps it was both.
Here I have expressed and shared some of my history with you.

Now the reason I am “begging” for financial help…

I am not and may not be able to return to work, my finances are exhausted. I have two young adult daughters who work for minimum wage and have been struggling to pay the rent for us. We have shut off notices for utilities. Graciously and thankfully, the Salvation Army was able to help us with a utility bill one month and we have used their food pantry. I have been able to get on the food stamp program and the state health care program when my work insurance expired. The hospital put me on their financial aid program as well to help me with the bills I have there and with physical therapy.

Wow. All of these things I am thankful for. This has been a new experience for me as even though money was always tight, I had always worked and we had always managed to get by.
But now the ask is for 1800 dollars in order to get the only transportation we have out of the repair shop before a mechanics lien is put on the vehicle.

I need your help. I have exhausted all other avenues.
Your kindness means more to me than you know. Please, I need your help. Thank you and God Bless You.

Please consider helping me i would be so grateful and when i am in a place to help others i will .

 

My name is Salvatore and I am a single parent in need of help. I know that I am not special by any means and honestly I wish I was the one in a position to help people not the one asking for help. My life story in short is as follows: I was born in 1984 and my older sister, Aja, was born 1 year and 4 months before myself. My parents were drug addicts , my only memory of them is living in a truck and eating twinkies for breakfast as my mother , father and some other guy slept in the back and shot heroin. They would let us run around alone so they could do so in private but police do not like a 2 and 3 year old running around alone in a parking lot in Anaheim  so we , at that age , were put in foster care . My first foster home was very abusive in very horrible ways …a pattern that would follow me through most all homes. My sister and I missed our parents in our first foster home . In this home i was abused and my sister was as well both sexually on me physically harming. At some point we moved in with my aunt and her girlfriend. My sister had it good but they didnt like boys i guess so they would lock me in my room only to leave for school and to eat . The stuff they did to me was dark so i spare you but do know making a child pick which piece of wood wrapped in duck tape he was to be beaten with then sitting waiting for it and then 5 mins straight of being beaten caused be to develop very bad anxiety. One beating was so bad my sister had to call the police and the next day a social worker came and removed us from the house and took me to the hospital where i remember over hearing that it was the worst case of child abuse the doctor had ever seen personally. Next few years my sister and I were  Separated a few times as it turns out some families don’t seem to care if siblings stay together or not and so she would be adopted out and placed in a family and I would stay in the children’s home until finally we were adopted by very nice woman when I was in 8th grade and my sister is a freshman in high school. Eventually she gave us the option to meet our mom …the worst decision of my life . We both moved to where my mom lived in boise idaho and with in the first two years i knew my mom was still an addict and mean drunk . During and argument between my sister and mother my sister got in her car and left . I never saw her again …she was killed in a car wreck a mile away. I lost everything …my sister , my best friend my protector.  10 years later and too much depression to handle my daughter came into this world . I named her after my sister. My daughters mother didnt want to be a mom at that time so i raised her on my own and things were good. For a time . I was injured at work very bad but that allowed me to raise her and be there for her.  I even started school . But the bad luck started again recently. I lost financial aid for school and got laid off from work . I had some cash saved up as I am an artist and have sold paintings for years and just last week my house was broken into while i was gone for 45 mins. My heart sank as i walked through my back gate and saw the screen to my kitchen window off. I go inside and all valuables are gone and all of my cash gone…my life savings. Now im Not saying she did it but my mother was one of the only people who knew were I kept stuff and she is a horrible person and addict and just so happened to turn off my cell phone (i have no credit so my phone was tied in with hers)  minutes after the break in . I called the cops and reported it and suddenly couldnt call my daughter or anyone else. I feel as if nothing works for me and im tired of it . And sad and stressed out . I need help but have no one to ask . And so i am asking you to please just help with whatever you are comfortable spending. I need to get back on my feet . I meed to make my daughter happy again . I need to be happy again. Its where she has 100 percent started to notice my stress and sadness and its not fair i just want her to be proud of me and happy again and its hard to not want to give up when i dont have a penny to my name right now . I owe three months  rent and three months of storage unit rent and just need some security and to finish school . Im sorry if this brings you down i hate to seem like the feel bad for me guy im just at a brick wall and could really use some help . Thank you

My name is Sambi Ajeali. I am in need for urgent help financially. I lost my job 4 months ago and have been doing everything possible to get another. I now find myself in an untenable position. My house rent would be due by month end a I do not have the money to pay for. I would also need money to get myself a second hand car so I could start uber and broke this cycle of unemployment.

I come to you today on bended knees begging for $45000 to urgently take care of the above concerns.

Below is my paypal account. Thanks for helping

Last option before becoming Homeless (long read)

I don’t know how to start this, and I don’t know what to put in here without it sounding sappy, cliche, pathetic, and weak. I’ve been sitting here for hours trying to wrestle if this is even a good idea, but I figure this won’t even work and I’m now at the “fuck it” phase…so here we go…

I’ll start out by being straightforward and saving you from having to read this all. I’m asking for help. It’s now safe to click on to the next post.

I’m also not going to drop specific names or locations because I am a very private person so putting this out on the internet is very jarring for me. Even if only 1 other stranger reads this is already giving me anxiety. :/

I am a veteran and was in the Army for 7 years; straight out of high school. I specialized in IT systems analyst but I was basically just a glorified helpdesk tech for the generals. Don’t get me wrong, I knew my shit and was usually one of the best at it whatever duty station I was assigned to. I loved every second of it, but after two deployments in Iraq and hurting my back during my last tour it became impossible to stay in and was honorably discharged but I got screwed over in the process due to the uniqueness of the injury. The problem was that the doctors couldn’t actually figure out where the pain was coming from. Almost 2 years worth of constant scans, pokes, prodding, medication, referrals, physical therapy and a whole mess of other stuff I can’t remember and they weren’t any closer to diagnosing me properly without doing extreme invasive surgery which had the very real possibility of permanently disabling me instead of just living with the pain. So, the ultimatum I was given, as a soldier, was get cut or get out. I feared the thought of never being able to go for a run/march ever again so I had to get out. The part that screwed me over was the category I was given for the honorable discharge. According to the VA, it did not entitle me to much of a continued disability pay, even though I could barely walk, couldn’t stand for more than 5 minutes in a formation, couldn’t march, and I think you guys get the idea. A good friend of mine was also in the process of being honorably discharged for migraines and the VA allowed him the highest coverage they could. Now I’m not bitter at my friend. We weren’t competing, but I’m just showing you guys how crazy the system is and what they deem worthy of a disability.

Fast-forward a few years. I had been holding down a few jobs, was doing moderately fine but nothing that would give me a ”career”. Fast-forward a few more years and I got a good job at a fairly new company. They were small but they were expanding fast. Expanding as in their client base, not their workforce. I started out as just a level 1 answering phones and asking clients ”did you try turning it off then on again”. Once I was integrated into the system and processes I excelled at it. Picked up quickly on the inner workings and started taking on tasks that the level 2 engineers were supposed to do. I was good at multitasking so was doing double/triple the work I was expected to be doing. Was eventually promoted to Level 2 and workload tripled again. Now remember, this is a small company, but we had, I would say, over 400 clients/systems and only three level 1s, and two level 2s. The pressure was immense but I have always excelled under pressure and absolutely loved it there. That wasn’t the issue with the company and why I ultimately had to depart. I don’t want to bash the company and most were awesome to work with, but the CEO was the ultimate reason why I had to leave. I know what you’re thinking, ”but that’s all bosses and CEOs. They are usually all dicks and you should be used to that from being in the Army for so long.” True. I was used to it, but there I had no choice except to just turn the other cheek and ”soldier on”. Now this guy was a delight. I am using that term sarcastically for those confused. He was constantly saying misogynistic, homophobic, bigoted comments and micromanaged us to the point that we couldn’t send an email to a customer without his approval first, but he would take weeks to reply/approve at which point the customer is fuming we haven’t helped them and he then sends company wide emails demanding why he hasn’t been helped. He talked bad about anyone behind their backs and sometimes directly to them, and the worst part of it all was that he had HR under his finger so whatever you say to HR gets directly reported back to him and that just meant he would talk more about you behind your back to literally everyone else at the company with no repercussion. Can’t tell you how many times I would overhear him in his office ripping on my coworkers and myself. He had even called me a fag to my face a few times, then just laugh it off. The awkward part was that I am actually gay and he knew that. The final straw of it all was an impromptu meeting he called one early morning. Sat the support team down and started going off on us about things like “we shouldn’t be working here if we expected to make more money” or “No one will be getting a pay raise because none of us deserve one due to our inability to resolve client issues in a timely manner”. Mind you, the entire time I was working there, even though all my performance reviews were excellent and never had a personal client complaint, and I was doing the job of 3 people, I never asked for a raise and never asked for a promotion. When I WAS offered the one promotion, I did take it, but the pay increase did not reflect the position title or the work I was actually doing even though our ticketing system tracked our day down to the second and I always had well over the required 8AM-5PM timestamps. Another thing to note is that since day 1 of starting, people had been quitting/getting fired left and right. Every week was an adventure to see if any of us still had a job. So getting back to the ripping we were getting at 5AM…he finally gave us the ultimatum of “If you are only here for the money then leave now or shutup and do your jobs better.” I thought on that for a few days, got my resume in order then quit.

Boy, was that the wrong move.

Looking back I thought I was standing up for myself, my values and beliefs by getting out of that toxic environment, which I was, but I did it the wrong way. What I SHOULD have done was get a job BEFORE I quit so I didn’t have to go through the living hell of the last almost 2 years. It was a stupid move to just quit. I know. Live and learn?

The day after I quit I started applying to any and every job I could find that suited my skillsets and in driving distance since that was a big factor because I live out in the boonies. The awkward part of it all was the IT company I just quit from is in a specific field of IT Support, so the systems/programs I had been busting my ass for the last few years to learn/manage/maintain/troubleshoot/implement only gave me a small window of companies I could apply to. Some of you may have put it together already and see the dilemma here. My previous employer, since they were expanding quickly, knew all these companies that I was applying to. And what do employers do when they consider someone for a position in their company? They call previous employers to ask about the applicants work ethic, dependability, professionalism, etc. Like I said before, I don’t want to talk bad about the company and this is complete speculation on my part since I had no real evidence, but there was one company specifically that I was in communication with that practically guaranteed me the job and told me I was unofficially hired already; setup a “start date” to sign some final paperwork and they would see me in the office that day. Few days later I get a call from them and the one statement I clearly remember them saying was “We do apologize for the mix-up but we have decided to go in another direction with our hires and unfortunately you have been taken out of consideration for this position.” That stung. That call made me dizzy and I was practically in shock for the remainder of the call and a few days after that as well.

After a few weeks of not being able to find any jobs, I had no option but to move back into my mom’s place (no not the basement), and I continued the search for a job with only my savings and extremely small VA checks coming in to sustain myself. Obviously I had bills to pay so savings ran out quickly since I was trying to keep my car so i could get a job, and now I was only on VA. Remember, I was now living out in the boonies where the closest town of 300 people and biggest attractions there are a gas station and bar, was 2 miles away and a car was a necessity to do/go anywhere. Eventually I had to relinquish the car back to the bank/dealership, but still had some to pay off so now only had VA check to help with that. All this time I was living off of ramen and rice and man did I find some interesting ways to cook those bad boys.

Things could be worse right? Well, they got both better and worse. I’m trying to stay positive through all this, but it got overwhelming at times and I have been through some major depression ruts that have been extremely hard to get out of when everything has turned against you and I couldn’t see a way out. One way I got out of the most recent rut was I started working out and running…a lot. I could never have admitted it at the time but I had gained a LOT of weight since leaving the army. I have always hated getting my picture taken, so I never really had any to do a side by side comparison but I remember once trying to fit into an old army PT uniform and I could barely get it over my head. That was a rude awakening for me. So I started running. Luckily my mom’s house had an older treadmill so I could run in private without the embarrassment of going to a public gym. Also the fact that I had no money or a gym anywhere even close to where I was. I dropped 40lbs in less than 2 months. The change to how I felt was as clear as night and day and I was finally starting to shake off the depression.

But this isn’t the end of this long winded story. There’s only, what I hope, one more part before the end. Our family has always been lower middle class but when my dad died when I was in high school and he was the bread winner, my mom took up the mantle and got a nursing degree to get a job to provide. She got a decent paying job to sustain herself with house payments and all that, but it has been slowly draining her savings over the years and it has gotten to the point that we had no other option but to leave the house and move into an apartment in a nearby town. Things seem good now right? Smaller payments, in a town to finally get a job, seems to not be depressed anymore. Well, the problem is that we had to borrow the money from our uncle to even get the apartment, and during the move I hurt my back so bad that I was bed-ridden up until a few days ago that I can now finally start moving again. During that time I have been applying to all sorts of jobs, even non IT just to start getting some income. I have a few promising replies and even have an interview later today at a retail store, but I won’t be able to make enough before the end of the month to cover rent.

This is the part that, if you are still reading, most of you will click on to the next thread, but I can only hope there are some of you internet strangers that can help. If I can’t figure out a way to get this money before the 1st of next month, then we have a very real chance of becoming homeless, which is just a crazy, devastating feeling that I could never possibly have thought i would ever be in this situation. I also am not only asking for a handout. A freebie. A lazy way out of this. I plan on paying every single one of you strangers back when the money comes in. Being in the Army, I have always prided myself in the honor and integrity values to not go back on my word, and that promise will be kept. The absolute minimum needed is $850, but that is only for the rent part. For food, gas (moms vehicle), and hygiene products, to get us through the month is closer to 1k, but literally any amount would be overwhelmingly appreciated.

This post is already long enough and I don’t know if it’s going to be seen by anyone. I also don’t know a way to even collect the money, if anyone even wants to, besides paypal so that’s the only link I can provide. If there is something else that I should be using, let me know. Also should DM me so I can keep a list of those that helped so I can contact you when I can pay you back.

I am also now in an area that has good enough internet where I could potentially stream/post to youtube so I might start doing that during my downtime. I will play any and every game because I love them, but I really only have Rust or League of Legends and those communities are already overwhelmed with streamers so my chances are probably slim, so if anyone has any recommendations, let me know.

If you got to the end, then I appreciate you getting here. Typing this is probably the hardest thing I have ever done in my life and I would be deeply humbled by any help.

Emergency Custody Hearing!

Emergency Custody Hearing!

We are raising money for My granddaughter who has been being Physically and Emotionally and Mentally abused by her father and her fathers girlfriend.

has finally opened up about all the abuse she has been taking for the past 4 years by her father and her fathers friend.

We got her whole confession recorded. She confessed On Friday 28th 2019.

I can’t go into details about the kind of abuse she was going threw because anything that is said is used against Her by her father.

She made another confession that I happened to get part of it recorded Saturday September 29 2019.

So on Sunday the 29th we got up early and went to the Lancaster County Police Station to file for an Emergency PFA for Scarlet. When we go there they told us we need to go to the police station that is closest to our home. We were under the impression that because the case is threw Lancaster County that’s where we had to go.

So we headed towards home made the phone call to the police station. They said they would have someone call me.

Pacing back and forth waiting for that call to see if someone will finally listen.

An amazing Police Officer called and she asked us a bunch of questions and collected information from us.

She then said I have to locate the judge that is on-call and explain to him what you have told me and see what he says and I will call you back.

By now I have bit all my nails off.

The phone rings it’s the same Officer and she had a few more questions that the judge told her to ask us so we again told her what she needed to know and she gave us the location and address to where we have to go to see the judge.

So after driving 45 minutes to Lancaster and 45 minutes back and now we have to drive 1 hour to where the judge that is on call is located. So we head there and we get there and I have no nails left to buy and I have probably asked Her a million times if she is sure this is what she wants and if she is sure this is what she wants to do.

I want the decision to be made by her because ultimately I feel she should get to pick where she wants to live as long as it is a safe environment for her. She yet again said she is sure. I told her she may never see her dad again because of the horrible horrible things he has done to her. And she said she never wants to see him again for the rest of her life.

So the judge gets there I have a whole entire bag of documents. I have all the court orders since 2014 I have all the Prior PFAs we had against him. I have all the children and youth cases that were opened against him and the case that is currently open. I have all his contempt violations. I have been keeping track each day that She just openly says to me.

I have no idea how She stayed this strong for this long. I knew about the abuse happening and we have literally tried everything we could to get her out of it. But she was so scared for her life and for her families lives being takin by her dad that she wouldn’t never talk. She would tell us things and beg us not to tell her dad or to not let her dad know. We would never tell her dad anything but it killed us not to be able to stick up for her. We have been in and out of court since 2014. It’s been a long battle and a ugly one. She has suffered the most. No matter how hard we tried. No matter how much proof and how much evidence we had against Her father we just could not get anywhere. We get the same out come every time.

September 2nd 2019 when we dropped Her to her dad and he flipped out because we had put color in Her hair. She earned it fair and square. It was not all of her hair just some purple and blue and teal it looked amazing. Her father and fathers girlfriend started yelling and screaming and calling her names and calling us names. He told us to get out of the car and fight him. He chased after our car. He yelled and he screamed at Her and us calling us every name in the book.

Then he grabbed Her by her hair and yanked her by her hair into the house and up the stairs and into the bathroom and forced her in the shower and told her she could not come out till all the color was out of her hair.

That was it.

I contacted Her School they contacted Children and Youth. I contacted my therapist about it. I also contacted children and youth myself to make them aware of all the abuse.

I had honestly given up on Child and Youth because they never helped us in anyway. We have had about 8 open cases with records of abuse.

Soo. It began. Documenting anything and everything I can each day. From talking to the guidance counselor to Scarlets teacher to my therapist. I couldn’t allow this to happen I had to come up with a plan of action and a plan that would hopefully somehow some way get Her the help she needs.

We are going to fight till there is nothing left.

So my plan was to communicate with the school as much as possible. To contact her teacher as much as possible. And to make sure I do everything by the court order and the book. There is no time for error anymore. No time for mistakes. No time.

Shethinks her dad is going to kill her and her family.

Have you ever heard your child say that?

Have you ever had to watch your child say those exact words?

I can’t even begin to try to explain how We felt or what we felt or anything.

But we knew this was our chance. This was our chance to help scarlet and get scarlet out of this horrible situation.

Sitting there holding Her in my arms as she cries like I have never heard her cry before. As she is telling me about all the abuse and the horrible things that they were doing to her constantly. Just rubbing her hair and holding her close and loving her.

So even tho I wanted nothing more then to break down with her I couldn’t do that. I had to stay strong I had to be strong I had to do whatever I could to help.

Hearing the awful things Scarlet says about her self just killed us. I knew it was bad but I had no idea that it was this bad.

She got picked up by the throat.

She got smacked anywhere and everywhere with an open hand and a closed hand.

She was locked out of the house.

She got told they were going to kick her out and she can’t live there anymore.

She got hit with a belt.

Shewas almost ripped out of a moving vehicle.

She would get choked.

She would get pushed so hard she would nearly fall down.

She would get thrown on the floor and on the stairs and on her bed and the couch.

She wasn’t allowed to have friends.

And I can keep going trust me I have pages and pages and pages of information.

We can’t give up. We have to fight the hardest we have ever fought before.

She is now old enough to testify.

We pulled a new judge.

She will have her own lawyer again.

We can’t let her go back to that situation.

I’m not asking for a certain amount of money. We literally have nothing because of all the fees and lawyers and court costs and constables.

So we got the EPFA so now we go to court to see if we can get it to stick them if the judge agrees with it we will go to another hearing and both parties will get to present their case.

We need all the help we can get. We can’t let Her go threw anymore abuse.

I not exactly sure what Her lawyer is charging us and I’m not sure how much the constable is charging.

She can’t be by her self. We have papers on the wall with all required information she needs to report to 911 In case something happens. We have rehearsed our safety plan over and over again. The cops are checking on the house multiple times. We locked every single door and every single window. We hung blankets over every door and every window. She can’t get out of the car until we give her the go ahead. Someone has to walk in the house first before her and someone has to walk in after her.

Also when we go to court she will have an escort because she does not want to see her father or talk to her father. She is scared to death.

We will keep trying! We will keep doing everything we can! But we need some help!

Need help starting back up with my passion, nature photography.

Hello there everyone! My name is Stormi. I am a 25 year old woman and I have a huge passion for nature photography. Even though I’m an amateur as of right now, it’s something that brings me a lot of joy and is a great escape from the hardships of life. I am currently trying to save up around $2,100 dollars to be able to re-buy a nice DSLR Nikon camera and a new computer to be able to edit with. I had a camera before, but I had to sell it quickly and unfortunately very cheaply to help my mother who was in need of getting her rent paid. I haven’t been able to buy it back ever since.This happened a year ago. My current job I have as a home health care giver sadly does not pay enough. I only get paid $8.75 an hour with about 23 hours a week.  All the money that I earn from my job goes towards bills and food and care for my 2 pet kitties. In the future, I hope to be more skilled with photography that I could start making money with it as a side job. I really enjoy finding the beauties in nature and capturing that in an image. And being able to share it with others, allowing them to see how beautiful our world is. Some people tend to miss out on the little joys and amazing things that mother nature has hidden in this world. I got into photography after I had surgery, I was in a pretty dark place and felt a bit hopeless. I decided to go on a hike to clear my mind and saw the most beautiful flower. I took a picture of it with my cellphone and posted it on my social media site. I received positive feedback from the picture I had taken. It made me feel good to know that people saw beauty in something I considered art with my photo. I then saved up to get my first camera and I was the happiest I had been in such a long time. So I started taking more pictures, trying out new methods and even trying to take pictures of micro life that is often missed by the human eye. I feel like nature photography is a good way to allow others to see how breath taking life can be. I hope that with the help of generous people I’ll be able to get back on track with my dream. Any donation, even the smallest is immensely appreciated it.  And to anyone who took the time to read this, thank you very much. I also attached an image of a photo I took of a Rough Green Snake, for y’all to check out one of my photography pieces.

Hard times trying to keep my head up.

A65EE276-BAF5-4415-B845-E6867FC16236.jpeg

 

Hello there my name is Mike. I’ve recently fallen on hard times. I was being harassed at the workplace. I reported it to management and a week later with no warning I was terminated. I had no heads up. So here I am stuck without groceries or let alone a penny to my name.. I’ve already pawned and or sold anything I had worth value to make it this far. I’ve applied to so many jobs with no response, I check in every few days. I’m halfway through the month and I’m not sure how I’m going to even keep my place at this point. Electric was due yesterday. My rent will be due the November 1st. I’m not asking for anyone to pay all my bills and financial burden. I’m just trying to have food on the table til a job opening pulls through and I land back on my feet. I also have a dog that I’m honestly taking better care of than myself which I know sounds pretty bad but we’ve never been this bad off. I’ve turned to food pantries and local churches, they only get you so far though. I’ve exhausted most of my resources including family. I feel terrible asking for a hand but everyone needs help sometimes right?
I’m pretty desperate I’m trying to type this at the local library without tears in my eyes. There are people all around me and I would hate to embarrass myself even more than asking for help…. I believe my phone will be off on the 20th of this month to top it off. I don’t know how a job can even contact me without a phone, they can’t.. I don’t need a million dollars. My phone bill is $40 and I’ll eat ramen noodles til they are coming out of my ears. I honestly need dog food and groceries to last me til the end of the month.
It’s the seasonal time of the year I’m sure I’ll have something turn up soon, I’ve got my fingers crossed. Anything helps. No matter how big or small. I truly appreciate any one who reads this and feels the want or need to help. I believe everything happens for a reason. This didn’t happen by chance it happened to show me that I can get through anything, I’ve got to just keep my head up and swallow some of my pride.
Thanks for taking the time out of your day to listen to someone that you don’t even know. I’ll push through this.
Mike

Save my unborn by showing we will be okay

Hi, this is written with extreme humility and humbleness.

In trying to support my girlfriend with this difficult decision for her, she brings up money as a main factor.  I think we are fine and even if I am check to check, it will work out if we can just continue thru.  However my 19k heloc, 3k credit card, and 3,500 on my car.  Make her unable to see an end or debt or a beginning of a college fund.  The fact that the furnace needs to be replaced (but it will go another year or two) is not helping.

i will do anything to support this child and if begging for support can help I will.

 

ideally

 

 

yes, I haven’t been the greatest saver lately, but my past has set me up with a house and new roof.  But I have debt now and no savings to show.  It is embarrassing that I can’t show to her that everything will be fine and provided for.  On the way to the clinic, if she doesn’t change her mind my last effort will be to say the 400+ dollars for the termination would make a great start to a college fund :).

 

Ideally, 25,500 would show her a lot but an extra 9k (average cost for a child) to cover the first year would amaze her 🤞.

 

so please, from the bottom of my heart, please help me give this child a chance.

If the journey end on 10/25/19 I will happily return donations if that’s possible or send them to the women’s domestic violence shelter and rcc.  I can handle my debt but it’s not okay for her.  Please don’t let me not do everything I can to save my child.

Too afraid to tell

I’ve been on pins, needles and eggshells because he keeps it that way. He’s Three years older than me and quickly became one of the family. He had everyone charmed. My parent’s adored him. He’s fun, exciting, loves to laugh and make people happy. A real people person. At 17 he had  A job and his own car and would kindly and quickly fix anything he could at the drop of a hat.

I am a subdued personality.  Just the type he needed. I was pregnant and married to him at 16. He promised my dad he would take care of me and claimed he believed in hard work and family. Sounds good, right?.

Things were pretty good while we lived with my sister and her family. A few months later we moved into a rented trailer out in the ding weeds.

Our baby was born in September and my family moved south the following March. My sweet Joy was Six months old.

Mike’s behaviors brought to my mind thing’s I heard, such as “Guys just grow up slower and he’ll grow out of it. Love endures all. Remember your vows. We’re married to better for worse. Your parents know what’s best for you.

During our dating day breakups, he simply would not stay away from me and my family. I never told why I broke up nor did I cry.  I was brought up to care about other’s first, but not to burden anyone with my problems. I was taught that nothing goes outside of these wall’s.

My parent’s alcoholism and fighting would never be a part of my new family. I know how it felt and no way was I gonna scare my baby regardless of Mike’s constant accusations of infidelity and partying.

His first attack happened when Joy was 2 weeks old. Embarrassment and self disbelief, caused my stumbled attempts to tell mom what Mike had done. She adored him and I was certain she wouldn’t possibly believe he could be capable of such hateful disgusting behaviors. That was the last day my baby was able to nurse. My milk wouldn’t let down. I had a vision of, if I told mom, that dad would go after Mike and even get my strong big brother after him. It happened Twice in the past against neighborhood bullies on my behalf when I was younger and couldn’t let that happen. I loved all of them so much!

I had 5 page’s written out of hateful abuse from Mike before I realized that this is a never-ending story, so I’ll cut to the quick and simple state that I call myself Abuse Victim Anonymous. I’ll add, there are millions of us. I’m not an unusual fact. I am however not asking for a handout. I’m asking for a hand up. I have so much to share with my true life experiences. Warnings of what to watch out for, so other’s hopefully don’t end up where I’m at. Especially those who are young like I was. We come from all walks of life. I’m finally ready to stand up for myself and hopefully other’s. I need to learn how to run a website. I can’t do it because I’m here all the time and so is Mike. I can’t be alone because he needs the control. He can’t stand not knowing what I’m doing and where I’m at. As long as he has his S.S., beer, T.V. and me, where he wants me, then that’s how it is. I’ve been raped ( Two of my babies) Kicked, shoved into and inside of things and other objects. I’ve had his fist in my head 3 times. Long story. He was pretending to be asleep. I.’ve been kneed in my back and kept in the dark and cold. Had mysterious ills, been brainwashed and been his slave. I’ve been set up in many ways, including younger, stronger girls sent to beat me up. He uses others to bully band wagon against me when I finally get a free time away from him. He’s out there everywhere. I’m not and can’t put my defence up against his lies. Sorry about the rant. There’s so much more. A lot more. Every one of us victims have a story to tell and like myself most don’t  tell, because FEAR is the biggest reason why. Threats on every level. From the killing themselves to stealing the bady so I’ll never see her again. All about abuse, in every way to have sick control over me.  During one of his daily drunken spells, he said the reason he can’t stand me is because he was forced to marry me. That’s why, in his sick head he is able to reason away how he treats me. It wasn’t his choice to keep the baby.

I am lucky to have WiFi and a cheap computer. As long as I have YouTube then I’ll leave him to his T.V.  He don’t want anything to do with internet so I assume  that he don’t know what I’m doing is possible. I really don’t know much of what I’m doing on the internet either.

Even though monetary abuse is among his controling abuses I have been able to get enough money to get a D. B. A. Then a P.O. Box. Nerve wracking. This is nerve wracking.  Like I said I don’t know much about computers and internet. I’m learning though, when I can,  I have  typed out short stories after the drunk abuser crashes. I want to be able to put them out there for others to learn and listen to. I need to be free from him. I need have alone time to learn to have a website so I can make it on my own. Why not just leave, go to the safe house, get a job etc. Been there. We deal with controlling abusers. They have their , so called ( people everywhere ) Any way, being safely tucked in, (which is, by the way,  what getting used to seclusion is all about)

Here is a picture of what I want to achieve. This one is 3,133 words. I have other’s. Wonderful you 1 and 2.  Head games,  and working on several more. Not an easy task reliving what has been done to me and my kid’s.

Thank you in advance for helping me . I want to be able to help others out of the same honorable crap I’ve had to deal with for years.

I’m told 3 Thousand should get me a divorce as long as he don’t dispute it. Wish me luck. I have need of a vehicle. 5 Thousand for a decent one that will be tended if there is issues. Freedom from this old tin can my abuser calls for my home. 3 Thousand to settle elsewhere, giving me time to get counseling and learn how to run a website.

PayPal me please at  avictim@protonmail.com   My p.o. Box is Abuse victim anonymous support,  P.O. Box 204, Salamanca . N.y. 14779.

Thank you in

Please help me to continue to be a great daughter

My dad has cancer. When he was first diagnosed it was a bowel obstruction and he needed an emergency surgery. The surgeon couldn’t get all the cancer out so they told me he didn’t have much time left. They said there wasn’t much they could do. One dr even said I’d be lucky if my dad made it out of the hospital. I said bullshit. I brought him home and started giving him a home remedy. In the months time between the surgery and the follow up he got strong enough for the doctors to change their minds and say chemo could put him in remission.  He goes in for his 3rd round of chemo on Monday. His cancer marker numbers are dropping like crazy, catscan not only shows that it hasn’t spread anywhere but the modules haven’t gotten any bigger. We are beating this.

Cancer is expensive! I have put my heart and soul into being my dads care taker. All smiles and positivity. But what nobody sees behind the curtain is I’m struggling really bad financially to the point where it keep me up at night. I’m behind on car payments and other bills and I’m struggling just to make ends meet and pay for his bills and prescriptions and other medical expenses.  I have to stay strong for him or I will lose him. I can’t let anybody know just how bad off i am. They say it’s a miracle he’s even still here and has recovered enough I say it’s from the love of the daughter. Please help if you can

My mom is fighting cancer

On August 12, 2019 I found out some devastating news.  My mom has been diagnosed with Colon cancer.  She is only 54 years old, hardworking, caring and loving.  She is a good person and does not deserve this.  For as long as I can remember my mom has always worked 2 to 3 jobs to support the family.  She has always put the family first and her needs second.  I feel like this is just a bad dream and I will just wake up and everything will be okay.  Everyone says to be strong and positive but, how do you do that when all I feel is hurt and sadness that something bad might happen.  I can’t picture my life without my mom.

My moms previous doctor was playing a guessing game on what was wrong with her, putting her on medication, and did not want to refer her to a different doctor.  This could have been prevented.  She has been having symptoms for a while and her doctor kept making excuses it was something else.  The surgeon is not sure how long she has had the tumor in her colon, but will have to do a major surgery to find out and hoping it did not spread anywhere else.

My mom got her surgery from same day surgery on August 19, 2019. The surgeon said the cancer has been removed and surgery went well. She was told it is at stage 1 cancer but where the cancer was located was in a bad dangerous spot. That her cancer was in the walls/margin of her colon.

Her oncologist and surgeon said she needs to be highly monitored because its a possibility it could have spread. Her doctors said normally at stage 1, chemo therapy and radiation is not needed. But discovering that where her cancer was located my mom is at very high risk. So now she needs to see a radiologist on what they recommend to do in her case.

With all those testings and xrays that has been done lately. We’ve also found out she has a spot on her liver and gallstones. Our focus is the cancer first then her liver and gallstones will follow after. She is healing well but has been very weak on and off with fever. But as the days goes by so far getting better with a lot of rest, medications, and a change of her diet. She is trying to go strictly all organic which we all know that can be costly as well.  She is doing whatever she can do to stay strong and fight this.

The Radiologist said he will not do treatment because he does not have enough information on where the cancer is, he suggested for her to get another surgery done, where they open her up from the stomach and wants the surgeon to look around and see what’s really going on.  Her surgeon is going back and forth on what to do and schedule her to get a PET scan in November. From there he’ll decide when to schedule another surgery. My mom has been in and out of the hospital with a fever, feeling very weak and she is also having stomach problems.

Our family needs help with expenses for the hospital bill and for any treatment that the doctor recommends.  Please keep our family in your prayers and pray that everything will be ok.

Single mother of 4 in need of financial assistance

Good morning,

My name is Denys (Denise) and I’m writing to request some financial assistance.

I cannot recall a time when I have ever had enough money to cover all of my monthly bills; I always seem to be $800+ short.  The past due amounts and late fees continue to pile up as I’m put in the position to try to move other bills around in order to pay something towards the balance. I changed jobs about a year ago in hopes it would improve my situation, but as the saying goes… “more money, more problems”.

My children have NEVER had a birthday party and never get more than a $20 gift from me because I simply cannot afford it. My kid’s birthdays are in August and September which is right around the time school starts for the year. I always have to explain to them that we NEED things for the new school year and that we WANT to have a birthday party… necessities take priority. It’s the same thing for Christmas. It eats me up because they are always so excited for their birthdays/ Christmas, but when the day comes mom is unable to deliver :(

My oldest child (19 years old) recently graduated high school and started college. I was blind-sided with all of the fees associated with senior year and the 1st year of college. My monthly expenses are already extremely tight. I cried many nights wondering how I was going to purchase my son’s senior package, get the things he needed for prom, pay for his college visit field trips, or how on earth to pay the tuition difference for college after financial aid was applied. Not to mention a car. I wanted to get him a car so badly, not because he WANTED a car, but because he honestly NEEDS a car. He’s about 2 hours away from home in college and he works. He is in a city with no family and no vehicle. What if there is an emergency? I think about this all the time. My oldest child also helps me out when he can. Not too long ago our cell phones were off and he sent me $400 to get them back on. I would love to repay my son the money he worked hard for. I’m sure that $400 was probably 90% of his check.

I am currently 2 months behind on my mortgage and my car note. I sacrificed these bills so that I could get my kids prepared for school. I also currently have 2 payday loans that I took out to get my water and gas reconnected after they were both shut off for non payment and to also pay towards my electricity bill that was also at risk for disconnection.

I’ll be grateful for whatever amount you may bless me with. I would love to be able to catch up the 2 months on both my mortgage and car note. I would also love to be able to pay off the 2 payday loans that I have out. Even though it isn’t a NEED and even though he hasn’t specifically asked for it back, I’d love to be able to repay my son. He has a “child” account on my credit union account and I can see how much money he has. My son has no more than maybe $7 a day to spend. He has asked me if I could send him money, but in the same sentence says, “it’s ok if you don’t have it momma” :( Worst feeling ever! I’m supposed to be here for him to lean on, not the other way around.

I’m at work writing this and don’t have immediate access to any files to upload. Should you happen to run across my letter and feel inspired to help I’ll be more than willing to obtain this info and upload it for you.

Thank you for your time,

Denys Goode

Tuition Bill

Screen Shot 2019-10-16 at 11.07.41 PM.png

If there is one thing that I hate the most is asking people for money mostly because I don’t deserve anyone’s hard earned money but as of now I am in a situation that is not only making my drops but it is also affecting my mental health. Let me explain how I got to this position. I am an first generation low income student, because I am first generation I didn’t get enough advice about college, no one told me that as soon as I started my first term that I would have to pay a bill this high. My dad is the only person in my household that works since my mom had to leave her job in 2014 because my younger sister who is currently 6 years old fell ill and she hasn’t been able to return because she is having health issues herself is getting surgery on October 30. In May of this year my dad got laid off his job because there wasn’t enough work and since then my dad has been desperately searching for a job, he also got in bad car wreck which caused us to lose one of our cars, thanks to the God almighty that my dad wasn’t badly injured but with the money he received from the loss of the car he was able to pay bills that we had overdue but until now he hasn’t been able to find a stable job. I recently had to get a work-study job and I will be using all the money from my first paycheck to cover part of my bill but it still isn’t enough to cover half of the bill, since right now I am not getting financial help from any of my family members I am basically paying this bill alone until my dad is able to help me. I am selling myself out by applying to as many scholarships that I can but my effort isn’t enough either because I haven’t been able to win anything but I am going to keep try hopefully I win some money to help cover next term’s bill. Please if you could help me with anything that would be of great help, there is no other way I can pay back but I will try my best in school to get good grades to make every donation worth. Thank you so much for hearing my story, may God bless you all the time!

Help me support my kids!

Unfortunately, I’ve made some mistakes in my life. Maybe the worst of which is thinking that I needed more in life than what I already had.

You see, I had a loving wife and two beautiful children, but I thought we needed more. I thought that money would make us happier and give us a better life. I began to gamble and got addicted badly. It was fine when I won a little, but after I got that taste, a little didn’t seem like enough. I started to lose and needed to make it up. I drained what little savings we had and even piled up debt on credit cards.

When my wife found out, she left. I took on all the debt that we had accrued. I paid her back for the savings by putting more debt onto credit cards. I helped her fix the house to sell by putting even more money on the cards and let her keep all the money from the sale so that she could provide for the kids. I thought that in the end, I would finally hit that big win and be able to pay it all off. Make enough to provide. Have whatever that life was that I was always thinking I wanted. But that was just the disease affecting my thought process. The addiction was in control of everything.

Look ahead one year, and now I’m in control. There is no more gambling. There is happiness in the life that I have, with two beautiful kids, even if they live 200 miles away with their mother. There is also a massive pile of debt, that despite my best efforts I cannot tackle. I’m working two jobs. I’ve stopped spending money on anything other than basic groceries and necessities to live. At my current rate, though, I won’t be able to pay off the debt for nearly 13 years living paycheck to paycheck with no security net and no savings.

This is why I’m here. I’m asking for help. I’m asking for generosity. I’m asking for forgiveness for mistakes made. All so that I can do more than the absolute minimum for my kids. I want to be able to buy them a Christmas present, birthday presents and put anything at all away for their education. The first step for that is to pay off some of this debt. Any of it. I’m doing everything I can and it’s not getting me anywhere.

Please, anything helps. Everything is so greatly appreciated. And I promise, that on the other end, I will pay it all back helping out others because I never would have made it through this without others helping me.

Thank you!

Betrayed by my Grandpa

February 1, 2012

My family and I decided to move in with my grandfather. My grandmother had passed away and grandpa was getting older. He sold his house to purchase a place for the whole family. We were very lucky to find a house on 5 acres with another small house in the back. My father and sister moved in the small house and my grandfather, husband, 4 children and I moved in the bigger house. The big house had an additional room that was more like a studio apartment. That is where my grandfather stayed. We were all very excited. My grandfather had always been very good with my kids. He taught them how to take care of the property.  They learned about plumbing, electrical work, how to run irrigation lines, and how to work on the farm equipment. We had a huge garden, lots of animals and lots of room to run around for my kids. My husband was an Ironworker and I was the lunch Lady at my children’s school. No we weren’t perfect, we had our family issues but at least we were all together.

May 17, 2017

I will never forget that day as long as I live. I was at the grocery store and received a phone call from My oldest daughter (9yrs old). She said..”Mom, I just saw something that really shocked me” she continued to tell me how she saw my grandfather (her great grandfather) making her little sister(6) touch him. Ill spare you the horrible details of everything she said. She continued to say she and her sister were hiding in the bathroom because he caught her watching through the window. Needless to say I rushed home, threw my daughters in the car and ran to the elementary school around the corner where I worked. After confirming my daughters story I took her to the emergency room where they called the police. They had me go to an office called “The Children’s Interview Center” the detectives I worked with were absolutely the best and I will forever be grateful for how they helped me through this situation. The next morning I had to wear a wire and go talk to my grandfather.

Did I mention my grandfather was 91!

May 19, 2019

I hid the wire in my bra, drove down the street to my house, stepped out of my truck, leaving a detective hiding in the back seat. I started walking to the den where I knew I would find my Grandpa. I felt like I was going to puke, I couldn’t feel my legs or feet but I kept walking. I told myself he was going to have some crazy explanation as to why Bailee would say these things and everything would make sense… but that was not the case. I walked in and the first thing he said was “ I’m in trouble aren’t I?” I wanted to die, but I didn’t show it….

He went on to explain some of the most unexpected horrible things I could have imagined. He admitted to everything. He confessed it had been going on from the time she was 3. I don’t know how I walked out but after about 20 minutes I left.

The detectives listened to the recording at the corner of my street. Then they swarmed my house, arrested my 91 year old grandpa and took him away. I had a panic attack.

My Grandfather had never been arrested before. He was a WWII Veteran. He received an Honorable Discharge from the Navy, Many awards and certificates, and numerous letters of appreciation from commanding officers. He retired after 34 years of service. He was the local handyman in his community and was always helping his neighbors with something.

Shortly after my grandfather went to jail my sister, brother in-law, dad and grandfather attempted to evict us. He lost… but as a result I sued my grandfather for the property….  as if that wasn’t enough to deal with, my grandfather decided to fight the molestation charges and take the case to trial. That meant my daughters had to testify in open court in front of my grandfather. In December of 2018 after court mediation we came to an agreement. He would agree to give the girls the property and he would take out a loan to pay off his debt. His debt being the bail and the lawyer fees. If he should pass away before the debt was paid off I would be responsible for the remaining balance of the loan. It wasn’t ideal but I would at least be able to raise my children where we all wanted to live. On a side note; I did struggle with the decision to stay in the house because of everything that happened. However the alternative was not pretty. We did not want to go back to living in the city, my children desperately did not want to change schools, and in the long run the home would be worth far more money making it a good investment for my children. I also wanted to make it a point to my daughters that you fight for what you believe is right. March 23, 2019 we had the appraisal done. We were about 10 days away from finishing the loan process. March 25, two days after the appraisal, he passed away. We are now facing the possibility of losing our home.

Because of the many issues our family faced, my husband was unable to deal with everything and as a result he fell back into his abusive habits. I left him and I am currently going through a divorce.

To make matters worse… my dad became sick. He had stopped eating for the most part after he found out what his dad had done. He was so malnourished he was 50lbs underweight. He was diagnosed with Superior mesenteric artery syndrome. A rare disease which from my understanding does not allow food to pass through the digestive tract because the position of certain organs had changed due to the loss of body weight. After a long stay in the hospital we decided to bring him home with Hospice. He died three weeks ago. To add an element of what the hell…. My sister took off 3 hours before he died with everything of value including a safe with $10,000 in it…

EVERYTHING you just read is 100% true. I have many things obviously that I need help with…

My dads cremation

House liens

Counseling payments

Household bills…

Besides the emotional trauma that we are currently in counseling for the most important is obviously the house and my dad… Any money that can go towards the liens on the house would be a great benefit to the future of my children. They are wonderful kids that deserve so much more than I can offer. They are responsible, honest, polite and dependable. They get good grades and don’t get in trouble at school. Please consider helping us close this chapter in our life so we can move on to a happier future.

Behind on all bills in desperate need!

I have been struggling to pay all my bills. Over a year ago I was severely disabled with major depressive disorder that kept me immobile for over a month. It took me 6 months to get back to work. It took another 6 months to be able to work close to full time the way I used to. Since then I haven’t been able to catch up. EVERYTIME I think I’m about to finally be free of debt, something comes up. I currently have a shut off notice with my pse&g bill and I’m really worried it will get shut off if I don’t pay up soon. Rent is $1650 but I’ve had to pay $1700 I’m the last 3 months because I was over a week or 2 late. I’ve been able to barely put food on the table but the bills I’m literally drowning in them. My landlord has mentioned eviction if I don’t start paying sooner and on time again. We are on the verge of homelessness and my children are already at an age where it will effect them tremendously. I been on the phone all day with different charities in hopes that someone would be able to help me with anything at all but every place I called had no funding available. On my way home today I got pulled over and of course I find out I had a suspended license due to non payment of parking tickets that I really just could not afford. Now I have no way to drive myself back and forth to work and the kids for at least another week. I have a court date next week and I’m praying to god that I can somehow get the judge and or prosecutor to cut me some slack. The closer it gets to the holidays the more anxious and depressed I usually get. Work gets super busy and life itself gets overwhelmingly hectic. But with all these financial burdens constantly going through my mind I fear that I may not be able to work again. I try to see my therapist at least once a week to ensure I keep my calm during these very trying times. So I’m giving this place a shot. At this point in my life I have nothing to lose here. I normally don’t like asking for help but this is the closest  to rock bottom I have gotten. So if you can please find it in your heart to send me anything at all to help lift the weight off of my shoulders it would be so very much appreciated. I normally like to donate regularly to my local shelter and food banks but it breaks my heart to know that I can’t even do that at the moment. So again, thank you for taking the time to read my story. Hope to get some help here. Love all! Xoxo

Disabled Woman & Hard working husband in need

I have always had poor circulation in my hands & feet. I was diagnosed with CRPS several years ago in my left foot, I have constant injuries that involve the whole ankle & Achilles along with Arthritis. I injured my right arm in 2016 in the muscle area and continue to have shooting pains and/or tingling & numbness in the fingers. In December it will be two years since I came down with Costochondritis/Tietze Syndrome on my left side. My husband and I just moved to the Clark County, NV area due to my health as the rain and cold weather makes everything worse. Our previous house in WA state was covered in Black Mold (which the landlords refused to fix, other than paint over) which we lived in for 4 years. I have been to a neurologist for help with my “symptoms” with no results. After looking online I feel I have CFS/ME due to all the mold we lived in for so long. I am on disability so I was constantly in the house breathing it all in; some days I couldn’t even get out of bed. I also developed, restless legs, shakey hands, and a soft spot on my head where I tend to now get horrible migraines. I hope that is just related to the CFS? I am only 42 & my husband and I have been trying for kids for over 10 years. I was finally able to get pregnant earlier this year only to miscarriage (we think it had to do with our environment). We moved out of state from WA to Nevada due to all my health problems with the clothes on our backs and little else. We have been living in a 25ft motorhome with our 3 dogs since August 2019. We used all of our savings to get here and out of our toxic environment. My husband got a job right away and has been working 6 days a week but we are still struggling to save money to move into a house. We finally found somewhere to live but do not have the funds for deposit/first months rent. We are needing $2000 and all new furniture, as all our belongings from WA were exposed to the black mold. Due to its toxic properties and the length of time we were exposed, we were unable to keep any of it. We had family heirlooms, antique furniture, antique wooden hutches that we can no longer use or be around. We are in need as the place we’ve been keeping our motorhome & have been living at needs us to leave by October 20th. We may be living on the side of the road unless we can get help of some kind. My birthday is also coming up at the end of the month on October 27th and it would be a godsend if we weren’t homeless at that time. I am hopeful for my future. And am still praying for a miracle through charity, health, healing, and hopefully soon a child. When I am feeling well enough I hope to be back digging in the dirt as I feel more grounded and it is such a stress reliever for me. I love rescuing plants and nursing them back to health. Plants, puppies & my supportive husband are my saving grace. As without them, my chronic pain (CRPS) would get the better of me.  Is this something you can help me with? Thank you for listening. Love & Light, Sarah

Little help getting on my feet

PLEASE HELP my name is kenny I’m trying to get my car fixed and have gas money to make it back and forth to work till I get payed once I find a job to support my two year old son and my wife. The reason why I’m asking for help is because I dont have anyone else in this world to help me. My daddy the one that raised me from birth died three years ago August 22 2016 from stage 4 cancer. My grandmother died when I was 13 of a heart attack in her sleep I know this because I was the one that found her. My grandfather died two years after my grandmother died of lung cancer. Those were the only three people in this world that would help me when I needed it like I do today. The amount that it’s going to take is 2,000 dollars to help me get my car fixed and to get back to work so I can take care of my family. What is wrong with my car is the starter. When my car was kinda running I went to a salvage yard with my last 45 dollars to get a used starter for my car. When I took my old starter of my car it finished breaking to where there is no way that I can fix it to go exchange it for the wright one. The starter I got for my car was the wrong starter and I didn’t know this till I got the old one off my car and by that time it was too late to try and fix the old one because its broke to where I cant so anything to fix it. If I could please please get some help it will not go forgotten because I will pay it forward when some one needs my help because it would be the right thing to do. My dad raised me telling me that you have to be tough in this world. He would say I mean tougher that nails he would say. He also raised me saying to always do right that way you will always be on the good side of things and also he would say if you know its wright in your heart then its wright and if it’s wrong in your heart it’s wrong. I have always done wright by others because of what I have always been told do un to others as u want done to you and that is one of the things I live my life by.

Please help upright my ship

This is one of the hardest things to have to do. I am not one to beg or ask for money, but since my parents have passed and I have no immediate family that I could ask, I have nowhere else to turn, so here is my story:

I went through a separation/divorce just over 5 years ago. My wife at the time walked out for someone she had seen in 20 years and left me and my dog with house and all the accompanying bills. That was ok because I had a job that allowed me to take care of the bills that come with life and left me a little “wiggle room” to afford to go out once a month or so, if I was careful. However, during the divorce proceedings, she insisted that the home be sold and she get half the equity. We both agreed with this and I stayed in the home for 4 years waiting for it to sell.

I was fortunate that I received minimal damage from Hurricane Michael, but I did take a hit on my savings due to unexpected and unforeseen costs not covered by insurance. That was ok too. It just made me tighten my belt a little more to survive, and I did.

That gets us to the present. Back in March, an offer was made on the home that myself and the Ex both agreed upon. Closing was set for end of April. After the acceptance of the offer on the home, I received and accepted a job offer in Florida that I could not turn down. It was in sales for housing construction (remodel, repairs, etc).  I was both excited to have the opportunity, but sad at the same time to be leaving the friends that had helped me make it through my divorce and were always there for me for moral support. I move to FL on June 1st, just me and my dachshund. Well, after 3 weeks on the new job, I was getting no support from the company that hired me. They would not get my proposals approves and back to me and it was costing me time, gas, etc. I was paying for my own vehicle (gas, oil, etc). So after I realized this wasn’t working out for me, I just stopped putting in the time for them. If they called and asked about something I looked at, I would politely explain that when I get the proposals for “X” jobs back, we can discuss “Y” job. During this collapse of job, I received a call from a friend that I jad know since before elementary school. He lived in the same town I was in and had saw on Facebook that I had moved. He had a spray foam insulation business that he had owned for 3 years and was not doing anything with it due to the time his other businesses took from him and also the spray foam was a side thought to make a job for a family member. Well, the insulation side was not being ran or managed properly and since I had managed a spray foam business for the last 3-1/2 years before I moved, he said that we could both profit from it and asked me to manage it and take over operations of it and with that get a good portion of the ownership in it. Everything sounded great since the original job I moved for had faltered. Unfortunately, I jumped into another bad situation. The only difference on this one was I was investing my money. This would have been fine had I been aware of the true condition of the equipment. I spent my time and money to drive 5 hours, 1 way, to pick up the machine from being overhauled and repaired. I thought this is good. Figured everything would be ready to go and we could start making money with it. I had always been warned about “used” equipment from various reps, but I figured that this had been taken care of. From day one of getting it back and testing it, nothing but problems. The place that had overhauled it did a poor job. Cost me another 10 hours there and back.

Anyway, to finish this story, after several jobs lost due to the fact I could not get the equipment running properly and my friend not wanting to invest anymore money in it; I am $12,000 out of pocket, a machine that still does not work right and no more money to invest. I have no collateral to borrow against since I had to sell the house. The proceeds from the house are gone due to 2 “busted” jobs, almost all of my bills are currently behind or will be behind come the 25th of this month and I have no where else to turn. I do not want to give up my dog. I literally have no money to move anywhere. I am stuck. I stayed to long trying to get the foam rig fixed and running that I depleted everything. I am under $10 in my checking account with my in payment going to draft in 2 days. Both of my credit cards are maxed and late just trying to stay above water. Light Bill is due in 2 days.

So as you can see, I am at the end of my rope. I am about to lose everything without some help from a caring angel, or angels, out there.

Please, if you can help, it would be greatly appreciated. I have always tried to help others when I could and it has set me back a few times, but I made it through. I hope whoever reads this can understand and help me, if at all possible.

Money isn’t everything to me, but everything needs money

Hi! Thank you for for taking the time out of your day to read my story! My name is Shona.

In the past couple of years I’ve got myself into a bit of a pickle. My dog has got quite a lot of health issues, which have now, after 3 years been put down to allergies. Bearing mind, this is after spending about £6,000 on medications, confusing vets and an operation. So, to say the least… for being 19 years old I am in quite a lot of debt indeed.

Monthly, I currently pay just over £70 for his hypoallergenic food (to prevent the allergic reactions to food) as well as £150 towards his medications (which is like a doggy antihistamine & drops to help his reoccurring ear infection). As you can imagine, over £200 a month does set me back. But that is on a good month. If he needs to go to the vet for something else, it usually costs at least  £100 on top of what I already have to pay.
And for me, it’s a no brainier… I will pay because I love him and he’s our family dog. I know it’s my responsibility, it’s just a bit much sometimes.

I still live with my parents, we took the dog in originally because he was thrown away by his old owners… as he is a huge breed and no one could find him a home, he would’ve been put down. He is a lovely dog, so timid and loving… I literally couldn’t ask for a better dog. He doesn’t deserve to be in the pain that he is. So I pay everything I can to prevent it.

My mum and dad help me out when they can but overall they can’t afford it. My mum has a disability so she relies on my dad financially, so it makes sense that they can’t help out.
I don’t get paid that much from work, so the money I am meant to save for my car insurance, I have to spend on my dog. So it means that I struggle every month.
I am so great at budgeting but after all of my outgoings like rent/lodge, food, car, debt and my dog. I am actually left with very little.

This brings me on to the subject of my car, somehow I have been managing the payments, but I really have no idea how. I need my car as my mum relies on me heavily to go places because of her disability. My dad is usually in work, so if I don’t drive her around, she simply wouldn’t be able to leave the house. I feel like I’m stuck in the middle a lot as I need to be the one who is left without to make my dog and my mum able and happy. I would never give up my dog, but I also want to be a little less stressed.

So I would be so so happy if anyone could help me out and give a little bit of a helping hand. I would seriously appreciate anyone who is happy to help me with money because I really need it. It will benefit me in ways that I can’t even imagine right now. Thank you so much if you read all of this! :)

Found love/apartment help

Hello, and thank you for taking the time to read this. I have never had to do something like this before, but circumstances have left me with little time and not enough funds to move forward. I am a hard working man 40 hours+ at my job and i’m doing the best I can even taking side jobs like door dash to make some extra money on the weekends.  So after 31 years of my life I found a girl that I want to spend the rest of my life with. We met online and have been talking for awhile. about two weeks ago we met in real life and sparks flew. We spent a week together and everything was amazing. The day we had to leave each other was really hard for me and her she started to cry as I got into the uber and I started to cry knowing that it would be awhile before we could see each other again  So we talked about it and both decided that we wanted to be together, we though maybe a couple months to save up and get our own place. but due to certain circumstances she is being kicked out of her home in California. I can pay for the plane ticket to get her to me but my roommates right now want me to find my own place and they are only giving me close to two months. I need a little help getting the down payment  for the apartment they want 1600 for down deposit and first month’s and another 500 pet insurance for my cats. If i had more time I would not have to resort to asking for help from the kindness of strangers. I have some of the money already about 400 but some of that is for plane tickets now. Anything that is giving to me I will be very grateful. I will continue to work hard for my dream of living with this woman and someday raise a family. So to anyone willing to help I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Altogether I need to save up 2100 to get into the apartment. Once I am in I can take care of myself and I can afford all the bills and utilities. I just need help getting in. I thought I would be alone for my life but she proved me wrong and I will do what I can to make her happy and her me.

Thank you!  paypal.me/Swizz3l

PLEASE HELP ME PAY MY COLLEGE TUITION TO STAY IN SCHOOL

I am a full time college student currently going to a university in Northern California area and living in California is really expensive. I am really fortunate to be the first one in my family to attend college, a first-generation college student. This is my second year in college, going through the stress of having to pay so much money for college and my living accommodations is stressful, its getting to my family and specially to me. My parents both come from Mexico and basically started over here, built their life from scratch. both of my parents are hard workers, from working as much as they can to give my brother and I a better future. Sadly, my mom lost her job recently, and now my dad is the only one working to support our family. With the loss of my moms job, everything has gotten harder for my family. My dad has to pay for everything now. my mom has been looking for jobs, but so far no luck. I know that things right now aren’t going great for my family, my dad is struggling to pay for everything back home and now pay for my school bills and also my room in the apartment I live in. I feel really bad having my dad pay for all of my things, on top of my dad paying for everything back home. As much as I tried working, finding a job to accommodate with all of my classes, I find my grades and studying time suffering badly. Although I try my best to help my parents, I babysit in the weekends, give tutoring lessons and find other things to do. But, apart from the things I do, its still not enough to pay for the bills. I feel the financial pressures pushing down on my family and I, its getting to me and as much as I don’t want it to affect me, it is. My parents also refuse to show me how much they are being affected by this situation. they refuse to show me what they are going through, even though I know the pain they must be going through. every time I talk to my parents, I can see the stress in their face, how tired they are, how much sleep they need, it breaks me to see them like that. Specially if its for me, it hurts me. even though they tell me its for our future, for us to live a better life, I just wish they weren’t struggling this much because of me and how I want to stay in college. Going to college as a first generation in my family, my cousins and brother look up to me. Starting my second year in college, I feel proud for what I have accomplished. I want to continue, finish what I started in school. but my family going through the burden and stress of having to pay so many bills. All I can think of is having to work and help my family going through this tough situation. As much as I try to do my part and help my family. there is only so much I can do and so much money I can get. that it is stressful having to ask my parents to pay for my rent every month and for the groceries to get me through college. Hopefully I can get a little money here to help me, to be able to lift some weight of off my families shoulders. my family, my parents that deserve the world and everything! For how much effort they put into making mine and my brothers dreams come true. Anything helps, I am really grateful for everything. what ever anyone decides to give me would be used for good, to help my family and I. Thank you.

2019 has been a mess

First let me thank you for taking time to read this outreach message. 2019 started off okay, however, it has spiraled into financial ruin.

We are normal people who work and live paycheck to paycheck. We help others when we can and do not keep a tally as we believe you should give freely from your heart.

As you all know it was a colder than usual winter. We moved into an older house in February. It is a farmhouse heated by boiler heat. The boiler is fueled by propane. The propane company has a policy that they do not offer month to month terms until you have lived in the house for more than a year. I understand this as they do not wish to be stuck with a bill. They are a business. What that meant for us – we have to pay as filled. The tank (depending on how low it is and the rate per pound for propane) can cost $350-$500. We had to have it filled 3 times. This really zapped on hand cash. Honestly, the last fill was on a credit card.

In April I was in a not at fault car accident. I missed a week of work and my car was totaled. I have cervical and thoracic vertebra out of place. I have been adjusted at least 4 times. It causes pressure and head aches.

I was having some blurry eye sight and thought I needed new glasses. I went to my normal eye doctor who inquired weather I had any type of palsy. I was not aware of any palsy. He asked then if I had a trauma. The car accident was the only trauma. My right eye droops and does not close all the way. He sent me to a specialist. The specialist said I have a permanent nerve damage andbefore he did anything wanted to make sure there is nothing else neurologically wrong with me and has sent me to another specialist – a neurologist. I see him the end of November. However, the “fix” for my eyelid is a small gold implant to weigh my eyelid down so it will close all the way.

In the mean time I have to use a gel type substance in my eye at night to prevent drying and getting debris in my eye while sleeping.

While this is going on my husband has been being treated for plantar fasciitis. They casted his feet and made $600 inserts for his shoes. However, it did not fix the pain. He had gone about once a month for shots in his hip for pain. It helped for a couple weeks at first. Then a week and then not at all. They took Xrays of his hip and sent him to an orthopedist who sent him for an MRI. The MRI showed something called degenerative joint disease, and avascular necrosis. This means the head of this hip bone is dead due to lack of blood. He currently has constant pain and has not been able to work for about a month. He is scheduled Oct 17, 2019 for a total hip replacement which will have him out of work for another month or more. The date the doctors put on paperwork was January 2020.

This being said, no work – no pay. I am still working but we were already paycheck to paycheck and half the paychecks were just removed. We do not qualify for any public assistance. We are the in between.

Things are really tight and it’s getting cold.

I have had to stop paying any bills that do not affect us daily. We will have to file bankruptcy. We will have to save up to go broke.

I have over $60,000 in student loans. I am convinced I will be paying long after I am dead.

This breaks our hearts as we have always worked hard. We are just normal people. It is amazing how quickly it all goes away.

Hello, My name is Brittany I’m a single mother of two beautiful kids, I am not one to ask for help but I’ve fallen badly on hard times that I didn’t know where to turn to, I’ve tried so many means of resources that this is my last attempt for help. I’ve recently gotten out of a very abusive relationship with my sons father of 7 years, I was residing with his grandparents taking care of them and helping them with things that they needed to get done because some things they just couldn’t do on their own. Our home was getting fixed up after an incident that took place between my sons father and the police, where the police ended up tear gassing our home in which we lost everything so we were fixing the damage that had been done to our home I helped fix up the house well back in June I ended up getting into q very bad car accident which caused my kids and myself to loose our place of living, we were kicked out and was only allowed to take our clothing nothing else because the grandparents would say that they bought everything in which everything myself and my kids lost was replaced by insurance so everything myself and my kids had was taken from us including my car in which they told the cops I completely abandoned it but I wasn’t allowed to take anything and my car wasn’t road legal so I couldn’t get my car out of there I was seriously being rushed out of that house so they told the cops I abandoned my car and it got towed away and I don’t have the funds to pay the towing fee and the storage fee..and with myself and kids being homeless I had no choice but to find somewhere for my kids to go so they were placed with a relative so they could make sure they did school and apts just wanted them safe,  I’ve been trying to get a job trying to get help and I know people will tell me public housing but my sons father ruined that for me because I lived in public housing before and he got me evicted from our home there and a damage bill of almost $800 like he literally made my life hell (excuse my language) I’ve been jumping from place to place in order to lay my head…like I’ve seriously hit the lowest of lowest in my life I just want to get a home and have my kids and give them a life they deserve start fresh a new beginning for them and myself I guess what I’m saying is that I would greatly appreciate help anything will help I’m just a single mom trying so hard to get my life straight and make it better for my kids please help….

new home mortgage

What do I have to lose. 63 years old on oxygen. Married to my wonderful wife Shirley of 5 years. I am on disability since 2011. My wife works full time. She came here from Scotland in 2014. We rent out home. Renting is ok I guess, if you can find something that is nice and in a nice neighborhood. Unfortunately its hard to have both. Our home has high windows except for in the front living room. Being on oxygen 24/7 and my age, if there was a fire, I would struggle escaping out of here. Anyways my wife works so hard and a new home would will only be in our dreams. To have a nice home in the country. To have a garage attached to come inside so I wouldn’t have to breath the cold air in the winters. I’ve never smoked or done drugs my entire life, but I have damaged lungs. We have sold so many things we’ve owned to have what we have now. (mobility scooter , Portable breathing equipment etc.).

I lost my dad when I was 9 months old. My mother was under mental care since I was 2 or 3 years old. I was raised by my grandparents who had nothing. I lost them when I was 10 and 16. I was living on my own when I was 16 working at Sears at 2 am to 5 am and going to school. Later I took a job at the City of Dowagiac Mi working in the Water treatment Plant. When I was 17 my mother got her independence to be on her own. We got a place together that lasted 3 months. She wanted me to quit school and help her first time boyfriend with loading and unloading his truck. I was involved in sports in school, so I moved into a sleeping room back in Dowagiac and continue going to school. I ended up quitting school my senior year so that I could work full time. Later in 1975 my mom was killed in an auto accident in Valdosta Georgia. My mom was a passenger in the car that was not insured even though the young man that hit them was at blame. I got a cash settlement of 3500.00 after attorneys fees. Plus the cost of having her brought back up here and buried. I took a GED test and enrolled into SMC college. Working on a Associates degree and wrestling, I soon found out all the grants for school and housing had to be paid back and I could not continue school. The reason was, my mother never worked and paid into Social  Security ever. Grandparents never adopted me, was appointed Guardians only. I have no siblings and been on my own my whole life.

Yes, the grammar, punctuation and spelling is terrible, but I hope it only partially tells the kind of person I am. I am not sure who all reads this or if its just some sort of a scam or marketing. I have nothing to lose but to reach out.

Help Make it Through The Month

I am in a situation that I never expected to be in. Though this time of year is usually difficult when it comes to money, because of unforeseen issues I have been struggling to pay for daily costs, my bills, and my student loans. I work as an English teacher and a nanny but I only get paid once and twice a month. However, because of a problem with my bank I will not be receiving my paychecks until at least next month. Unfortunately without the money I might end up losing both jobs.

I usually find a way to make up for any loose ends, but right now I’m behind on my student loan payments, unable to pay for gas to get anywhere, and pay for food to eat. I’ve also been forced to stop taking my medicine for ADD, anxiety and depression, and chronic migraines, because I am unable to afford them at this time, which has made working and general life much more difficult.

I really love what I do, working with and teaching children, but I’m afraid that what has been happening this month and has made working harder and made the learning environment worse the children themselves. It’s my worst fear because I really just want to be able to do the best for the kids I work with.

At this point I’m asking for $1,800 to pay for my medications, my bills, my gas, food, and mounting student loans. I’ve used my savings for graduate school to live on, they’re gone and I’m afraid I’m close to losing my jobs if I’m unable to pay for necessities this month. I will keep my head up and keep hope, please help me make it through with $1,800.

Thank you!

702E5B76-8658-45F8-8351-2DF5E3DE31B8.jpeg

Above is a photo before my active addiction took off, back when I just graduated high school as Valedictorian and started college on a full-ride academic scholarship for psychology,  back when I was modeling for a living, back before I knew who I even was as a person or what my purpose was for living another day in this earth, but still I was happy… Little did I know what was coming ..

***LOOK AT PIC BELOW***

FAAE415E-6979-4967-A4B3-E316B6366878.jpeg

THIS . WAS . WHAT . WAS . COMING . AND . I . WASN’T . PREPARED .

So .. I jumped ahead quite a bit and I want to rewind back to the beginning and start there, as I feel like there are quite a few things that are important to my story that you’re not getting if I don’t backtrack before we get back to where we are in my life story.

I was born September 15, 1993 making me now 26 years old. Born to a loving family, despite my parents getting divorced when I was 2 years old due to my mother’s infidelity in her marriage with my dad it lead into a very bitter and nasty divorce battle that last well past the divorce being finalized. Honestly, I believe they never let go of the hatred and grudge towards one another, not even now that my father is dead, my mother will still talk horribly about him to me like loosing my dad wasn’t enough. So due to this terrible divorce  separating my immediate family and allowing my mother to carry on a new life with the man she was cheating on my dad with, Robbie, who was now my stepdad. But it left my brother and I choosing sides between our parents our entire lives. With that said, I was always my daddy’s little girl and always went out of my way to defend and protect him against my mother at all cost and this lead my older brother, Colby, being my mom’s child. And it seemed like the families of each parent picked too causing me to never feel good enough for my mother or her family’s love through my entire childhood. This is where I first began feeling like I wasn’t good enough and it carried with me for the rest of my life until I got into recovery. Skipping ahead a couple years with not to much to go into details about but to name a few significant things: 1) there was a huge fight between my mom and I  I was in fourth grade and was diagnosed with dyslexia and I’ve gotten an F in reading on a progress report and she grounded me for nine weeks and I had a freak out like a child would and told her a bunch of things I didn’t mean like I hate you and I want to go live with my father.  And instead of reacting like a parent would and not listening to A child’s temper tantrum, she decides to engage and responded to me saying some of the worst things that could ever come out of a mother’s mouth to her child.  Things like I hate you and I wish I never had you you were a mistake things that I carried with me for the rest of my life which also just significantly reiterated the fact that “I WASNT GOOD ENOUGH” belief that started from the parents divorce earlier on in my life if you remember. 2) So after that there we’re many court dates over custody of me and my brother and that caused many moves back and forth between our parents to where it was eventually granted for good that my dad had full custody of me. 3)  after moving to my dads full-time I was able to switch from private school to public schools finally because I hated private school and then I was way ahead of my classes in public school so I was able skip a lot. I also started playing sports as my father‘s main goal was that I made straight As in my classes and be involved in a lot of after school clubs or sports and if I could do that then whatever I wanted or wanted to do then I could as I had no curfews or rules. 4)  my dad ended up meeting a woman that started out working as a receptionist for his company that ended up stealing $250,000 and getting him involved with prescription pain pills. 5)  this is also where I started partying as in drinking with my brother and his older friends not too much because I had sports to upkeep and grades but enough to where the friends I had in my grade their parents would no longer allow them to hang out with me so I was always hanging out with older people now and started to get involved or started to see people getting involved in much harsher drugs and alcohol scenes. 6)   I blew my knee out during one of my basketball games and never ended up dropping out of every sport I was in,  basketball, dance, competitive cheerleading, and volleyball. And instead I ended up falling in love with my prescription of opiates I now was prescribed too and because I wasn’t playing basketball anymore I had much more free time to hang out with my older friends and again due to no more sports, I no longer had a reason that I couldn’t smoke weed with them and this is where my journey with drugs truly begins.

What I’m about to tell you I feel like you deserve a few more details to it then summing it up quickly.. After dropping out of all my sports my junior year in HS, I started skipping school quite a bit, started drinking and going to parties every weekend, I was also using my prescription daily and way more than I was prescribed too that I was start g to buy other kid’s parents scripts or whatever they could get them for me from. I had started dating the biggest cocaine dealer in my town who was much older than me and he also got me starting to do cocaine quite a bit with him as well. Somehow as crazy and unmanageable as all this seems I was somehow keeping my life in somewhat of an order that was at least until….. shortly after that I was pulled into the principal’s  Office one morning during first block and I had my car searched and it was found with a lots of drugs and alcohol and tobacco all the products you’re not supposed to have on school grounds in my car and I was suspended and sent to alternative school for 55 days also thinking my dad is going to show up at the school that day and pick me up beyond pissed off at me and  grounding me for life I was absolutely wrong as he started yelling at the principal saying they had no right to search my car without them and standing up for me  and then he never said a word to me about it or gave me a single consequence after that we walked out of the school building and we just sort of never really spoke about it again.  Which only made me feel entitled to it being OK to use as my dad didn’t care   Which I know now looking back that wasn’t the case he did care if I used drugs or not he just thought that it would’ve been a big enough wake up call for me not to ever use again and boy was he absolutely wrong.

The second major life event I’m gonna tell you about  is shortly after me getting kicked out of school the court system put me on house arrest and I was raped by my father’s best friend who also happens to be my best friend‘s father on March 13, 2010 when I was on house arrest from getting in trouble at school. And I remember that morning due to so much pain I was in from the salt my dad handing me a handful of Lortabs and I remember my brain switching over to this wasn’t just a party anymore .. it was this numbs this feeling out and I like it and I never not want to feel like this ever again. I remember my brain switching to addiction mode that  and I remember.   After this my life started to get really crazy I started drinking and using every single day and not just my opiates I was prescribed Xanax at this time I was drinking every day I was drinking and driving I was it was in my dad I wasn’t going to school and somehow along the way I ended up catching a DUI walking  which obviously violated probation I was already on her getting in trouble back in school and got put in states custody where  I went from living with my dad in a four-story house with a chef and a maid to living in a ghetto of Gallatin with the bishop and first lady who had 10 children and 28 grandchildren and had their own church which they made us foster kids go to and it lasted hours and they would try to lay there hands on us .. it was crazy.   Whatever the else got shut down shortly after that as I turned in their son who is 28 and hitting on the foster girls that were underage coming through their house and I got moved out of their house so quick and    Moved in with Big Momma in Springfield who still to this day Had had a huge impact on who have become. I stayed in states custody for 11 months and graduated valedictorian of Springfield high school with a full ride scholarship to Western Kentucky University into 2011.  I started college like a normal student would and I was clean at this time but it didn’t take long as it was only a week or two that I was out of states custody and had moved to college on my own that the drugs came right back in my life and I started to snort 26 Lortabs a day like I never even stopped and that lasted until 2012 of December Where I went to my first detox as I was in quite a bit of physical nose pain due to snorting my drug that I promise I said I would never touch another one of those again when I left that detox and I’ve kept my promise even to this day however six months after that detox a boy introduced me to a needle And heroin in my life was forever changed.  Somewhere throughout that year the guy that raped me was finally charged and sentenced with aggravated rape of a child and only received 360 days in jail and eight years probation not even a full year in jail for a child rapist.  Which made me fall even heavier in Heavy drug use as I didn’t feel like I received any justice and I felt like I wanted to scream and do whatever I could to say f*** you to the justice system who screwed me over so bad and I thought by doing drugs and breaking the law I was doing that, but now after many years of therapy and being in recovery and viewing things a lot clearer, TRUST ME I KNOW THAT WAS JUST MY DELUSIONAL DRUG BRAIN CAUSING ME TO THINK THAT.  Here’s where I’m gonna start summarizing quite a bit as it was just a lot of legal troubles I was started to get arrested so a lot of court dates a lot of rehabs that I would go to and leave and a lot of drugs.  somehow I managed to keep family relationships and friendships so far to this point and keep them from knowing the full truth at least as I would always be able to manipulate and find a way to tell them I quit or you know that wasn’t mine and theyd just believe me or continue to believe my lies. At this point my dad felt bad about his friend who raped me that he would just give me money every day and not really say much because I guess he felt that if he gave me money for my drugs that I would never be out on the streets doing drugs that at least I’d be home where he could know if I’m safe and I wouldn’t be out doing something that  he wouldn’t like to imagine his daughter doing for money if he just gave it to me . Skipping right along quite a head further was just extreme drug use and continuing to go to school and trying to manage my life to the best I could I was in and out of rehab and jails him and then the next huge part of my life that was getting towards the end of my addiction was January 21, 2016 when  I lost my best friend in the entire world my father in my arms.  My life has never been and will never be the same again as no one could ever love me and be there for me like my father was. I forgot to also mention that during this time of after the rate my father and eyes relationship changed from a father daughter relationship to more of a best friend druggie buddy as he started taking more of his prescription back medicine to where he had to buy more off the street illegally and I was his dealer/get high buddy to where every night we would both be getting high, well I always snuck off to my bathroom to use so he couldn’t see the needle use as he never knew my addiction had progressed so far as he truly believed I was still only taking Loratabs but yea every night we ended up watching TV for hours and cooking together and just talking to each other about everything and  he never once judged me and I tried to be easy on him as to during this time he also kept letting my ex stepmom come in and out of our lives he would keep stealing from him and he put her in jail by pressing charges and then she get out and let her back and it was just we both only had each other and felt very alone so we were just so close to each other as we both felt we didn’t have anyone else. So when I lost him that day is when my drug use picked up to an all time high between that day in May 2016 I had dropped down to 86 pounds you can see every bone in my body also I lost my grandmother during this time who was my dad’s mom but also basically my mother growing up as my mother and stepdad were always off on cocaine or crack binges and leaving us that my grandmother always came to pick us up and take care of this and my grandmother was the one that took my prom dress shopping in school shopping and  Sports games and yeah she was my mom and I lost her months to the day I lost my dad two most important people in your life . So I significantly went out May being a significant month after loosing my dad as it was. It was May 2016 the week before I graduated and walked across the stage of my college graduation and it was also the night before finals week  and I got arrested and was held without no bond and it took my brother over 24 hours and a very expensive lawyer bill to be able to get me out in time the next day to take my three finals before midnight and to be able study for the rest of the finals that week to be able to graduate college and walk across that stage.  You know my brother was able to get me out to do that however I was not out very long as the judge made me come in to court two days after my college graduation and immediately he revoked my bond and kept me in jail 86 something days after he told me that I was only going in there for 10 days just to be detoxed and then start drug court.

HERE IS WHERE MY JOURNEY OF RECOVERY TRULY STARTED!!  I had mentioned before now on my story throughout different times that I had gone in and out of treatment centers and detoxes however none of those times where is I going for myself it was always going to get out of legal travel or to keep my probation officer this was the first time in my life that I actually wanted to get clean and so it’s not as I was at the police are arresting me and taking me to jail I now turn around and thank them as it truly was a wake up call I needed to turn my life around!  No I’m not saying that it was  A perfect road of recovery especially at the beginning I had a slip or two but ever since December of 2016, I haven’t had any mind-altering substandard in this body. And no it’s not always been peaches-n-cream,  as I lost my dad‘s father my grandfather and the only relative of the most family I had left I’ve gotten in fights with my family about trust and everything under the sun but I’ve also regain the trust from all my family members, I’ve  gone to court more times and I can count been to jail sober and gotten consequences and followed through those consequences due to my past actions, I’ve had financial troubles out the ass and I had to take my brother to court which I am still in the middle all in recovery but I know that each and every day I wake up and all my problems are so much easier being sober and trying to handle it under any type of drug or alcohol.

So more about my emergency dental problem that I need extreme help with,  I have only a total of nine teeth that are left in my mouth and those nine teeth most of them already chipped or started to decay or are falling out or in the process of it that I am in need of extreme implants or at least partial implants and dentures which they have estimated to be about $10,000 and it’s all said and done and I literally have about $250 if that did to push towards it my credit due to my dad messing it up with taking out loans before I was even 18 for the business and then my brother not handling business affairs much better after my dad passed my credit is no good to get any type of loan towards it due to my dad dying obviously I can’t ask for any money and no one else in my family has any money especially  any kind of money that they could lend out especially the amount that I need and even if they did have it a lot of my family is only worried about themselves that they wouldn’t do it so I’m sitting here begging for anyone if they could to please help !! I would never be able to thank yoh enough because as it stands  if I don’t receive the dental work I’m needing they are going to continue to fall out day by day and already my mouth is so bad that no one would ever give me a job or look twice at me and it’s embarrassing but also extremely painful to where I’ve had to change my entire diet based on what I canning can’t eat on what hurts and what doesn’t so like I said if you could please help me in any way I could never thank you enough!! Below is my PayPal link. Thank yoh again ahead of time!

Legal Wrongdoing

Labor Day weekend, I was at my home with my wife. After taking Ambien my wife was acting very differently. I approached her asking if she was ok and what was wrong. She suddenly began attacking me in my face and neck. I walked away from her giving her some space, I went outside. I returned to her about a half hour later, her appearance was worse than before as if in a trancelike state. I approached her again asking her if she was ok, again she attacked me. I then grabbed hands to stop her physical attack. I was now bleeding from my face at this time.

Again I went away from her going to the bathroom this time. When I returned to the room this time she was gone, I was worried about her and began looking around the house for her. I couldn’t find her in the the home so I looked in the front yard area, I noticed lights at my neighbors house. I walked to his front door his wife screamed and he came to the door. I asked him if he had seen my wife. He said she ran over needing help, he called 911. I asked where she was and he said in the Police car talking to them.

I then returned to my residence and waited for them to come talk to me. A few minutes later 2 deputies came to my residence and we chatted casually. Our chat was not about the situation, I did ask about my wife. They told me she had told the other deputy that I did something but they were not sure. Approximately an hour later they arrested me for domestic abuse. I then sat in jail 2 days before being booked in. Myself being prior law enforcement they set my bond at more than 10 times the standard for the charge. I was also held in a cell with a non working toilet, lights on 24 hours a day for a total of 10 days. No pillow, no blanket, I take prescription medications daily which was also not given. Alternative partial medicines were given about the 4th day in. I’m not sure what they were giving me but it was really messing with my mind and memory. I finally was able to make bond, but they wouldn’t release me with an ankle monitor costing an additional $300.00 a month.

Due to the case being placed on the major local television networks and news papers I lost my job, and my career. I then learned I wasn’t going to be able to afford an attorney. I also learned 2days after being in jail they went back to my house where they searched my man cave which is normally locked. They did not have a warrant, but they took all of my guns and ammunition. Also this same day the came to the jail and took my cellphone, which they still currently have. I have also been forbidden to return to my own home. I am currently staying with a friend, I since being arrested been served a protective order, and divorce papers. My wife’s brother works on the Police force, also I was told the other agency is under investigation for being corrupt etc.

At this point I am completely lost in all of this and its just been a few weeks now. Wife is now dating the main investigator of my case, ugh. I can not afford legal representation at this point and this is so not me. But I need help and prayers, anything anyone can help with will be greatly appreciated so I work on getting my life back. Thank you so much..🤗

Financial difficulties

I am reaching out today for the help of others because I feel I have exhausted all other options; just praying there is still kindness left in this world. Everyday life for me is miserable; I wake up and my money worries begin. I am A 28 year old female, I work full time in a GP surgery As a healthcare assistant along side self funding a full time health science degree through the open university. I have always worked hard (for the last 2 years 7 days a week) but everything just seems to go wrong. For the last couple of years my mission is to just make it through the day and to not give up; even when life kicks you when your down and believe me I’m struggling. I’m currently in the process of switching jobs and my current employer has deducted almost my entire wage for ‘courses’. I have sought legal advice and although they have breached their own contract, there is nothing I can do about it. This is just another kick whilst I’m down; prior to this I used all the money I had to buy a bed; and of course the company have F**cked me over. In fact the bed I bought is unusable as the company are still yet to send me all the parts (I’m sleeping on the floor). Before this I was in a car accident (not my fault) after 2 years of fighting and funding my insurance company I was told last week they have “abandoned” the case, whatever that means! To me it means the thousands I paid out will never come back to me. I just don’t know what to do anymore, there just always seems to be something. I’m usually not one to complain Or feel sorry for myself but recently it’s the only thing I can do. I need dental treatment as I have TMJ (a jaw condition) and I have had my night guard so long I have worn it out, I have car insurance, phone bill and rent to pay with £0 in my bank and 2 weeks till my next pay. I need food and petrol and basic money for living.  My current life is no life at all, all I want is a chance to make it better, a chance to actual live and enjoy my days rather than wishing the day away so I can sleep my problems away. I need some financial help to get me through! £20,000 would clear all my debt and allow me a fresh start…but right now £10 would go towards feeding me for a week and that’s all that I really Need.

Medical Bills $50,000

Hello, we are a family of four.  Over the past two year and a half, we have been struggling to keep up with medical bills.  All the bills are due to a major back surgery and emergency surgery for my wife and three emergency hospital stays for my 9 year old  son.  This all started with my son with getting sick and throwing up for no reason at all for the first time.  He couldn’t keep anything down for about four days,  My wife finally took him to the Children’s Hospital where we lived.  They admitted him in the hospital.  He was there for about a week.  After they released him from the hospital, he got sick again six months later with the same symptoms.  He got brought back to the hospital and was admitted again.  The doctors did multiple tests to try to figure out what was wrong.  Finally, they told us that our son had Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome.  They said that with this syndrome he won’t have any fevers or any signs of him contiguous at all.  But that he will just start throwing up for no reason.  They put him on a medicine that he will have to stay on pretty much forever.  The medicine helps control his Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome.  So after he was finally released from the hospital for the second time, my wife started having leg and back pain about three months later.  We went to a company called OrthoNeuro for her leg and back pain.  She had to get a back brace from her doctor, after being told that she had a pinched nerve between her L4 and L5.  The doctor had put her on pain medication and sent her to physical therapy.  But both of them didn’t help her at all.  About four months later, my wife had to get am epidermal injection in her lower back.  The injection only helped for two days, then went back to having pain again.  Also, during everything up to this point, my wife was dealing with kidney stones issues.  She had an emergency surgery and another schedule surgery for her kidney stones issues. Anyways, back to her lower back pain situation.  After the epidermal injection didn’t work, the doctor decided on back surgery for her.  They did an x-ray to see how bad her L4 and L5 were since her pain was worse.  The x-ray showed more damages than just a pinched nerve.  Her L4 was fractured/broken on both sides.  So a couple months later, she had her major back surgery.  Then everything was fine for a couple more months or so.  Right before my wife was released for her doctor from her back surgery, she had to have an emergency surgery on her stomach area.  She was in pain and couldn’t get any relief.  The doctors saw something on a CT scan, that they took of her, that may of needed an immediate attention.  After the surgery, she had to stay in the hospital for a couple of days. Then a month later, our son ended back up in the hospital for his Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome.  Our son’s psychiatric took him off the medicine that helps prevent his Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome.  Then the doctors at the hospital put him back on the medicine and told us to not take him off of it,  Then a few days later, he was released from the hospital to go home.  So as you can see, we are struggling with paying and keeping up with our medical bills and other bills because of all our emergency medical situations.  If you can help us at all, we would greatly appreciate it so much.  Thank you!

A Family and Their Battles

E0430955-D00A-417F-9442-B16909E53B38.jpeg

I had to move out when I was just 15 years old because I chose to keep my newborn son. The day I left the hospital with him I was determined to do right and the best I could for him and to finish high school. It was very hard maintaining high school and being a single mom so young and also trying to get a job that could work with me. I remember having to sleep in awful places, missing meals so I could get formula and whatever my baby needed. When I had my second son I was better off financially in life but his father did some very hurtful things and I had to drop everything and grab my children and leave. I had my own apartment soon after that. Well my third son came along and I was happy. Except for his father being off at boot camp for the marines. That was very hard to go through alone. We were doing great financially, mentally, physically, and emotionally. Or so I thought. We bought a house, had two vehicles and my children had just about everything they wanted. Until one day he turned on me. He got kicked out of the military and we lost our home and vehicles. I saw my children’s lives crumbling down and it broke me into a million pieces. Before we lost just about everything I found I was pregnant with my now 9 month old beautiful baby boy. All I could do is cry because I was bringing another baby into a world of having nothing. Having to scrape change to feed the children. Having to tell my babies no we can’t get the .50 cent candy you want. Or we have to eat Mac n cheese for the third night in a row. After my youngest was born it got even worse. We had to leave to come back to Louisiana. Well just when I never could of thought the situation could of gotten any worse, the many forms of abuse started. I couldn’t let my young sons see a man doing all of that to a woman. Especially that woman being their mother. So I took my children and left. Homeless shelters wouldn’t take us because I didn’t have every document I needed. We have no permanent home. I no longer receive any type of government assistance, we have no vehicle. And my cashier job that pays 7.50 barley clears me a 150$ check a week. I just want my children to be able to live in a stable, safe environment filled with snacks and toys and happiness and love again. I am trying so hard but I have went to so many resources and none are helping me. I know that’s probably hard to believe but unfortunately its true. I’m stuck. I’m at a lose. I have been being strong for so long I’m slowly starting to crack having to see my children everyday not as happy as they should be. I was not going to do the donation request but me and my almost 7,5,4,& 9 month old desperately need your help. When I was doing good I was helping people out with whatever that I could so I pray everyday that if I ever need help and I receive it to continue to do whatever it is that I can to help someone. The feeling is so heart warming and so pleasurable seeing the glow in people’s eyes when you help them even in the most smallest way possible. I am so very thankful and appreciative of everyone who has at least read only half of what my story really is. If you can help just know that I will never forget you and I want to write each and everyone who helps, in anyway, if they can, a personal thank you note to that individual. Thank you for just taking the time to read my story!

Cardiac Arrest-Adopted Children

On August 5, 2019, my husband (who had never had any health issues) suffered a cardiac arrest during his sleep. He died and was brought back to life. It was not expected for him to live. He received emergency heart surgery and was hospitalized on life support. He received a second heart surgery on August 30th, 2019. He developed the complication of a blood clot, with concern of it dislodging and creating a pulmonary embolism and the concern of an additional blood thinner (in addition to the one for his heart) causing internal bleeding. He has defied the odds and survived. He truly is a miracle! However, he is currently unable to return to work and it is uncertain if he will be able to return in the future. We have two young adopted children ages 5 and 8 that we unexpectedly adopted through the Department of Children and Family Services. They were removed from a family member and would have otherwise gone to Foster Care, with the possibility of being separated as siblings. One child has severe psychological issues due to her life pre adoption and the other child has medical issues and developmental delays due to his life pre adoption. Because of the issues the children faced and their need for stability, love, comfort and care, I became at stay at home mom. We went from two incomes to one, with the bill’s for two. We reside in a two bedroom condominium (as it was just my husband and I prior to unexpectedly adopting the kids). Prior to my husbands cardiac arrest and upon adopting the children, we were hoping to save money to buy a home so that we may provide a bedroom for each child. My husband is 69 yrs old. Due to his condition and his age, I am hoping that he retires from his teaching position. However, due to his condition, he would not be able to tend to our children at this time should I return to work. There would be the expense of before and after school care . In addition to childcare, we are struggling financially with our out of pocket medical co-pays, and our our day-to-day living expenses. My husband feels he has let us down by having a cardiac arrest, not working and the possibility of not being able to return to work and to save the money to purchase a home for our children. Should I return to work and he retire, the income I could make would not be enough to support our family and to save money for a home. I say he is our hero for taking in two children (especially at this age) to raise and love as his own. He is our hero for his will to survive and be here with us now. His first words when he woke were, “I’m not going anywhere. I have two kids to raise”.  This is a man to be admired and a true hero.  Any financial assistance to help with medical co-pays, childcare, the day-to-day cost of living and a future home for our children would be greatly appreciated.

need money to get on track

good day to all who may read this

I am forty five years old, a married man with five kids, and still working hard just to keep it through the month. I have been working since i graduated and still cannot say i have achieved anything.

I have recently bought a house that is costing me about two million dollars in sum total. I owe sixteen thousand dollars in service fees on the house, but still need to pay the monthly bill of over ten thousand dollars as well as the municipality service fees which is around nine hundred dollars a month. I have a car that costs me around six thousand five hundred dollars a month and the maintenance costs are between two thousand five hundred and at times nine thousand dollars per service. My wife is not on a medical aid scheme and she currently is battling  with diagnosed bronchitis.  Her medicine bills is around two thousand dollars a month.

If there is a Samaritan out there who can assist please do help me overcome my financial problems as we barely make it through the month. Even buying food needs to be done with caution, just to stay in the monthly budget. I would appreciate any amount donated. According to my calculations a sum of two million United States Dollars donation would solve my biggest problems, but any donation is welcome.

I do have a dream to help the homeless by building them houses. I have this dream for many years now and have thought it through. In my country Namibia, more than sixty percent of the two million six hundred thousand (population) people are poor. They barely live on a one US dollar a day budget. If there housing needs can be solved, they will have a better life as a result. The government made many efforts and not much have been reached to help the poor. Therefore i think that if some one private can do this project then there will be much success. The total costs for such a project would be around five hundred million US Dollars. That it according to my rough calculations which is based on the costs of a single house of around three hundred thousand Namibian Dollars.

My dream will be achieved with the help of the unemployed youth in our country. They will be eager to help as they will be helping themselves in the same process. A lot of our youth is unemployed and through this project they will not only be employed but they will be building their houses in their communities. There are already two youth organisations that are formed to tackle the burning issue of homeless and endlessness. Thus the progress achieved already by these two groups  groups will be used to the advantage of the building houses for the poor dream.

My first donation request is for two million US Dollars.

My second donation request is for five hundred million US Dollars.

My second request may sound far fetched, but i believe that one day it may just happen to materialize.

Save my children from abuse

My mother married a man when I was 4. That same year he started sexually molesting me. I remember telling my mom “he touches me in ways I don’t like”, “he makes me uncomfortable”, and even started taking showers are 5 years old to avoid bath time. I have memories telling her this from ages 4-9. She always told me the same thing, “you don’t have to do anything you’re uncomfortable with ever.” And I would always ask, “how do I tell dad no?” and he response was always the same, “you don’t, he’s the adult”.. well by 9 years old I stopped complaining and just did everything in my power to avoid those situations. I also started walking to the church down the street every Sunday even though I hadn’t been raised with religion. Fast forward to 11 years old and my mom comes home early from night classes to find dad “putting me to sleep” except he was exposed trying to get me to service him. She immediately kicked him out and told me everything was going to be ok and I’d never have to do that again. I also have an sister three years older than me who was also being abused but she had learned to capitalize on it. He gave her money, cigarettes, and alcohol. So when he left she had nothing to fill her anymore. My brother who was only a year younger had no idea what was going on or why dad had been forced to move. My mom cried every day, but I felt safe for the first time ever. I felt justified, I was right the whole time! But after only 2 weeks everyone started complaining and wondering when things would “go back to normal”. I was the only reason he wasn’t allowed back. I was uncomfortable, I said no. I was 11 years old and after 3 months of guilt trips from my brother, my sister, and yes even my mother (she was so lonely and “I was breaking her heart”), I caved.. the first year they fought a lot, and we all started going to therapy. Then my mom attacked my sister and me telling us we were sluts and trying to steal her husband. Both my parents basically spent the rest of my teenage years drunk. Both my brother and sister dropped out freshman year in high school. I applied to a Technical school and graduated. Got my first job sophomore year, worked 2 jobs the end of junior year through mid senior year (needed to focus on finals and SATs). I had honors in English and History the whole time, a few As in science and I completely failed Pre-Cal. Not that I didn’t get out unscathed, my dad, who is great at chess btw, would do things, say things, and it would trigger me. I actually wanted what he was offering.. but I wasn’t going down that road. I slept around, a lot. I never had a boyfriend for more than a month. Didn’t believe in love. Still I was looking at a bright future. Got another job out of high school, went to a local community college, and moved out of my parents house, had my first 3 month relationship (we are still friends today). A year of struggle and I lost my financial aid because I had to move to a part-time student in order to pay my bills. Couldn’t’ afford it so dropped out after 2 semesters and only 12 credits to my name. At the time I worked for a mom and pop limo service with my mom. Her and my dad were having trouble paying the bills (my dads sister was getting a divorce and as the ‘head of household’ it was his responsibility to support her and her kids, while supporting my drug addict sister and her 2 kids, and my nana, plus sending money to my brother in the military every week.) I was pressured into quitting my job, moving back in with my folks (those issues were years ago and we can all move on right?) It wasn’t bad, I never saw them. My brother visited over the holiday and his best friend and I hooked up. I got pregnant, boyfriend left me, and brother blamed me for being a slut. Joseph was born 8 months later, and I began my plans to leave. Took my until Joey was a year and a half, and my mother stealing over $1000 from me to try to stop me, but I got on a plane and moved to the other side of the country. Lived peacefully for a couple months before I got my first real boyfriend. He gave me all the things I thought I wanted. He manipulated and used me but I was blind because someone understood me and loved me anyways, or so I thought. Couple months in he’s living with me and I discovered hes a heroin addict. I kicked him out but then it became a 5 year struggle or him being clean, relapsing, becoming an alcoholic, and eventually hitting me. In that time I had a daughter, Evelyn, and both my boyfriend at the time and I had moved to my parents house to save for a house of our own. Being in that house with my daughter triggered so many problems. I finally saw that I was an in an abusive relationship, that it was affecting my son (daughter was only a year at the time while son was 6). I couldn’t stay in that relationship or that house, but bomb shell, I was pregnant again. Broke up with boyfriend, kicked him out, got an abortion (which I’ve always been strongly against). They told me at the clinic to expect depression for about 3 months and to call a number if I needed help. They were right! I died inside, I stopped everything. One day I was contemplating ending my life and realized what a horrible thought it was when I was so blessed to have 2 children that needed me, and if I died they would be stuck with my parents.. I needed space to think and decided the 24 hours should be safe to leave my kids with my mom so I could think clearly. Told my mom, left at 9am and called at 7am to check on my kids and tell my mom my plans to leave for a shelter tonight and file against her husband for the abuse I suffered as a means of recovery, especially considering family has by all accounts completely forgotten that he is a predator. They leave him alone with my nieces constantly and everyone who isn’t related can see that my niece has been abused but my family ignores it. He pays all their bills and is soft spoken, and friendly, runs a business, and goes out of his way to help people. Well at 10am my mother filed for emergency guardianship due to abandonment. When I got there there was an ambulance waiting to take me for 72 hour observation or I could go to jail. WTF right? I called Child Services and begged them to get my children. They agreed but only my dad’s sister was available to take them.. fine just get them to a safe place. I was released Monday morning, homeless, jobless, and no way to get to my kids. In swoops my ex to save the day and give me a place to stay. We agree to work on things and get the kids back. 3 months later I’m pregnant again, hes drinking again, and I’m no closer to my kids. He attacked me while I was driving for throwing his open container out my window. I pressed charges, kept the baby, and lived in my car. Creepy homeless people harassing me so I get a dog. Aunt stops accepting daily calls and files for custody. Now I have to go to court every 3 months. Trying to get a job or housing without an address is extremely difficult. A friend 1 state over by the boarder offered to help so I zip over there to live in her camper. Well her husband didn’t agree and sent me packing but I had no gas so I lived in my car at the Stop and Ride closest to her house at 4 months pregnant. It eventually broke in November. Her brother started helping me out when he could and now we have been together for over a year. We sublease an apartment together only to find out subleasing is illegal and got kicked out. But not before I had Nikolas. When we got kicked out I had a job but no car to get my son to his sitter. My sister, who has been clean for 2 years offered to watch him mon-fri and my mom would drive him back on the weekends. Perfect! Except they never brought him back.. I talked to my sister daily for 3 weeks as my mom gave excuses as to why she couldn’t bring him back. Then one Saturday my sister stopped answering. I called everyone frantically for days. Thursday the next week I got a text from my aunt of a document telling me I needed to be in court Friday morning to dispute the emergency guardianship she filed for Nikolas on Monday.. devastated can’t begin to describe how I felt. I kept working at the dog daycare for a month but quit because the dogs were abused and neglected and I got reprimanded for doing things to make it better. My boyfriend didn’t mind, we were living with his mother and she hated me. Eventually kicked us out., and we bought a camper off a friend and made an agreement with his sisters husband to put it on their property, and use their stove and bathroom. Well that was a nightmare. The brother-in-law was an asshole, first his wife couldn’t work or leave the house because she was a “house-wife” then he couldn’t afford the bills so she had to get a job but still wasn’t allowed out and had zero say in anything. They fight a lot. My boyfriend and I don’t, we are very respectful to eachother and support one another. We have agreed to a classic relationship where I care for everything except making money, and trash, those are his jobs. They got jealous, tried breaking us up multiple times, and went back on their word about the rental situation. It became a legal matter that went in our favor but that was that, we moved to a campground. Now it has been 3 months since I have seen my children because my aunt is ignoring court order knowing I don’t have the means to file contempt 20191010_193847.jpg20191010_195019.jpg20191010_194958.jpg20191010_194936.jpg20191010_200354.jpg20191010_200425.jpg20191010_200509.jpg20191010_200954.jpgwith the final hearing for custody coming up at the end of the month. She’s fighting to keep them so my parents can be in their loves as I currently have a restraining order against them. During this whole time my family has slandered me talking about my mental health and how I have problems I need to figure out, duh! But I’m in no way incompetent or a danger to anyone or myself. Just recently I have been receiving messages from distant relatives asking about my drug or alcohol addiction.. I have never once been a drug addict, yes I have tried some BEFORE I was a parent and I smoke weed and cigarettes but nothing else even recreationally. I do drink, but never more than 3x a week and that includes a beer or wine with a meal..and that’s not to say I haven’t gotten drunk in my depression these last few months but again it’s often.. I’m at a complete lose. We save, we are forced to move and are left with nothing. We have had enough to move in to places but because I have a 20191010_194154.jpg70lb dog we keep getting denied. I am here to beg for financial assistance in getting a place to live so I can get my children back. So I can keep them safe from my abusive severely diluted family. Please, I am not perfect, I make mistakes as you can see, but I am a good mother, and I love my children more than air. They are my reason for existing. My Savior Joey who gave me direction in life, my light Evelyn, who reminds me of joy in the darkest times, and my gift Nikolas, who was God’s way of reminding me that every day is the present.

Pursuing dream of becoming ecologist

Thank you for taking time to read my plea. I’m a student at community college and have always loved wildlife as well as understanding how nature and people can connect and thrive. Past a few hardships (sinus pain, wisdom tooth nerve impaction migraines, ADHD), I’ve really felt driven to pursue something great like my lifelong dream to work with wildlife conservation and to help animals around the world that are also beloved by myself as well as others. I’m on the way slowly going up in skills and credentials to get to where I want to in college and career wise. However recently on my credit card, someone (I was notified by my bank that a scammer overseas was responsible) someone charged $1000 and maxing out my card, I’m not only burdened with this, but I’m unable to do things like go out for experience, but things I need to move forward, and the interest rate monthly keeps piling up despite my dads help, who stays out late nights most of the time to earn a living. If this financial burden was lifted, I’d not only have a much better peace of mind and not constantly be anxious about it, but I could focus on important things like getting my degree in biology/ecology and doing things like getting SCUBA certified to work with marine mammals and be competitive in getting hired at places like the San Diego zoo, global research for wildlife, and really come to see how great life can be outside of struggling under this. I’m blessed with a wonderful family (who’s faced a lot of hardship but are very resilient and caring), as well as the privilege to work with and breed blue dart frogs in a hobbyist group that is also for wildlife conservation. The amount charged was $1000 which was ridiculous and now my bank claims I paid it despite being home studying at the time. This happened previously with a $500 Costco purchase (I’m not even a member!) which was reimbursed but I don’t even have a job yet (I’ve been applying to numerous places with no answer yet). If I could have this weight lifted, I could really get out there and show the world how hardworking and passionate about things like wildlife conservation and the outdoors I can be! I’d love to put my skills to use and help people I know who are also struggling. The charge was $1000 but I’ll be honest in saying that $5000 would be nice to have right now. My other charges were on things I purchased here and there. I’m relatively young so I didn’t understand the interest buildup at the time and fell back on the credit card when my bank account was low for emergencies or zero. That and buying a laptop for school was the other $2000. The $1000 would get me out of the unexpected debt situation since my bank isn’t helping me with something I didn’t do, and the remaining $2000 would go towards my SCUBA certification, lifeguard course training, paying to get into a particular uber driver position with an initial fee, paying for textbooks, and having an emergency fund for when I move out soon for school or an internship to be able to cover rent confidently and have enough until my next soon to be job comes around. I really appreciate your time and it would really give me the power and confidence to pursue my career and personal goals as mentioned above. My family would be alleviated of worry for me in school or in struggling to pay off my current debt. Thank you!

The World From Below

FB_IMG_1570467914378.jpgHello my name is Jasen and I have come here to this site to tell you about my struggles and why I really need your help. Most of my life has been difficult, but I’ve always been tough enough to pull myself through. I was taken by the state at the age of seven from my family for severe sexual abuse and exploitation of a minor. They kept me until u turned eighteen, but I had already graduated high school with honors by then at the age of sixteen. I skipped two grades in school and to this day I love to learn, especially Quantum Physics and Sacred Geometry. I also went on to get my bachelor’s degree in  have worked Anthropology.I worked hard all of my life as a specialized Inventory Auditor for a global company. Basically, I was sent anywhere domestically I was needed. All of this stopped in the summer of 2017 when my long descent into where I am today began. I was at work one day when I began to feel faint and then I fainted with no one able to revive me. An ambulance was called and I was taken to the emergency room. The doctor ordered many tests including a MRI. When this result was received the doctor panicked because it appeared I had a hematoma on my brain that was actively bleeding. They admitted me into the hospital and ran more tests. After three days of this, they told me it appeared the hematoma was actually a cluster of five lesions that had been injured further when I apparently hit my head from fainting. They had consulted with two different Neurologists and determined that I had Multiple Sclerosis, but that the specific type would need to be determined by a specialist in the field. After a few weeks I began to feel sick to my stomach and went through phases of vomiting for no apparent reason. I also began to notice a slight weakness in my legs but thought all of this would pass and I’d be fine because I had been healthy my whole life, but that’s when the falls began and became more frequent. I would lose feeling in my legs only to be followed by Charlie horses all up and down the legs. The vomiting continued on a more frequent pace and I began to suffer from incontinence frequently. By the winter of 2017 I had a regular Neurologist who initially had diagnosed me with Relapsing and Remitting Multiple Sclerosis while he examined me in the hospital, but once he had more time to run more tests he determined I suffered from two things: Progressive Multiple Sclerosis Type II and Demyleneation of the Spine. Treatment began and was going fairly well with injections being taken by me everyday; however, I began to consistently catch double pneumonia and end up comatose with it for two or three weeks. Each time the chance if recovery went down but I always returned. Four times to be exact in less than two years. My walking also would mostly go. Some days I need my wheelchair to get around and other days I can use a walker or cane to slowly move around. I also get severe jerking in my limbs some days making it impossible to do my daily activities like eating,without getting dressed, bathing, etc.. The vomiting still happens a lot because my body can’t maintain a regular temperature. Sometime mine will soar until it makes me sick. I did receive social security disability but it rarely us enough after I’ve paid my medicine copays, bills, transportation, etc. I’m not allowed to drive myself because of the random jerking in my arms and my tendency to lose consciousness sometimes. The picture I chose for this was from one of the times I was comatose from double pneumonia. The doctors now tell me they fear I may actually have ALS or Lou Gregg’s Syndrome due to the fact that my respiratory system appears to be disintegrating which is not a MS symptom. MS and ALS have many symptoms in common but the severe respiratory problems are unique to ALS rather than MS. I have more testing this coming week. It has been extremely difficult to go through this with no family to support you and all my friends stopped talking or seeing me. They get embarrassed in public with me. The reason I’m asking for your aid and charity is because I have to move into a fully handicapped accessible apartment to receive the nursing care I need some days and it is going to cost me much more to move, pay deposits, pay rent. Right now I’m staying in a subsidized hotel with my emotional support animal until I have the money all together to move in. I’m also asking because the medicine and shots they have me on now cost around two hundred dollars in copay. I also must live on Boost or Ensure for a few days at a time when the vomiting gets real bad for a period of time. Those drinks are definitely not cheap and add up fast. Thank you for reading about me and please consider my request. God bless you. I’m new to this and I am not sure where to put how you can help me so I’ll include it here.

Highschool Senior

I need emergency help. I have not many options. I am a divorced father with a high school senior… facing eviction. This is the short version of the long story. I married in 2000 and by 01 moved 900 miles to Atlanta with Missus and a six year old step son. Baby girl was born in 02. We divorced in 12 but stayed focused on the kids. When it was time for my daughter to enter high school I lived in a bad neighborhood. At least one with bad schools. Her mother and I wanted to assure a good education for her. Knowing that individually, neither of us could afford it, but we moved to a much nicer part of town with a school district in one of the richest areas of Atlanta proper and enrolled her. She has had an excellent high school career with national honors society, 5 to ten different clubs, elected to student government, volunteer work, to when I saw her on the news giving a compelling and captivating speech when the students walked out due to the school shootings and the lack of safety. I could not be prouder. Her mother and I were not the best of roommates for her, not seeing eye to eye on much. She endured. Now, midway through her senior year her classmates who live in the same complex get to watch her stuff thrown into the parking lot so anybody can have their pick of it. That would be more than traumatic. I’m not sure how you come back from that. Her mother survived a severe and mutilating staff infection last year and has yet to return to the work force. This leaves me holding 3 jobs, punching 84 hours per week. No I never sleep. How is it possible? Well, I work in the hospitality industry. A childs wage. Being promoted all the way to GM and sent out of state for years, still there was no stability. Sure I am underemployed. But it is not that we do not have it or cant make it, we are just out of position.I am facing eviction on Monday. I am a few months behind. I have over at least $500. I need $3000 more. This would put us back on track, and give us time to make the needed changes. Really I just want my baby to graduate happy. If anyone was able to help, I would be deeply indebted and motivated. I don’t even have a problem paying back. The raise is next month. But after all of the denials and exhausting the possibilities, I need help.

Helping others with Confidence

Life is what happens when you are making plans. We live in a rural area and “having extra” is something we never seem to have the opportunity for. Our situation is not dire, but when expenses pop up, we always seem to have to rob Peter to pay Paul in order to stay afloat. We had filed for Bankruptcy in the 1990’s and because of that, we have not had need of a credit card so I have (to date) a ‘thin file’ credit report which does not allow ME to get a loan of any amount, so my wife was able to get a small loan so we could have a new water well put in. All of the debt we have is in back taxes, past due bills, and that one loan. More recently we found out that we need to install a new Septic Tank and Septic Field. This will really put us over budget of any kind and is something that we put off because there is no way to afford it. I have been out of work due to disability since 2012 and my wife is part time at a local big box store. I have received my 5th denial of disability benefits in July and my wife’s paycheck barely covers the utilities. To be absolutely honest and forthright, the breakdown of the foreseeable future is not looking good. Our monthly expenses come to about $900 a month which is pretty close to the monthly take home after taxes.

What I am asking for moneys for is to afford the Septic tank/field, pay off the Taxes on our property (only a year behind so far), and maybe have a bit on hand in case of future emergencies.

We live a simple life and do not expect for much, but living day to day with the stress of not knowing if we can maintain is difficult. I teach classes to young adults in the areas of Martial Arts, Self-Defense,  and Confidence. I do not charge for these particular classes because I believe that safety and confidence are a right everyone should have. I accept donations, but very few in my area are able to give much more than $10. I would love to be able to invest more into training people and even continue on a plan I have had of building a resource center where people can come for help when they need it. But I am unable to even invest TIME in these ventures any more because of the stresses of making ends meet monthly. I feel bad about posting anything like this because I know others who need so much more than I. if I had the capability, I would help them before myself. It seems sometimes that might be why I am in the situation I am in, but it is often easier to help others and it makes me feel good to do so. I cannot offer money, but I can offer knowledge, connections, and experience. There is not too much call for those things in a paying economy, so I am here. Thank you for your kindness and understanding.

Young & broke

Hello, I’m J, and I’m 21 years old. I’m pretty sure I’ve had the worst luck with vehicles and keeping them running and I’m so tired of constant car repairs. Ive been through 3 cars with thin the last 2 years of getting my license. The first car was from a Facebook marketplace and was a complete dud and I proceeded to spend 1500 to think I could salvage it into something… I couldn’t even sell it for parts, I ended up donating it. My second car my uncle gave me an older car and it lasted me through class and back, I started a new career, literally on graduation day it broke down 30 minutes from home, later I was told it was not worth the fix! I guess I should’ve have been so literal to the universe, “I need a car to get me too and from school.” so I definitely agreed and decided to save up for a new car. Well, since I’m young and can’t afford a brand new car, I do the second best thing, a used dealership car.. it was a struggle because I have no credit history and I am slowly building it. So I decided to move 2 hrs away from my family into the city, and find a better job. I’ve literally had it a year now and for the most part it is reliable. I’ve already replaced some sort of ac hose (my ac doesn’t even work anymore it causes it to shake violently.) My car started squealing and I was told i needed new break pads &rotors(700$), not including the lug nuts (who even knows im sure they’re on there really well & thats $60 a bit, with 5 per wheel and 4 wheels..) and now wiring!! My turn signals turn into hazards and that alone is 300$!! They literally sold it to knowing they were cheating me on the price and value. I don’t want to not be able to pay my bills but I am there.. do I eat? Or save an extra $50 for my car. I was clueless, and desperate. I work so hard for my money and I’m an honest person. I am beyond embarrassed to ask for help but I’m struggling to pay rent and all my bills as it is, I work full time I hardly make enough to cover my bills as it is, and car repair especially now, is out of the question. Ive picked up extra shifts, although overtime is pretty much forbidden, tried selling things but I’m no where even close to what I’d even need!!! I’m so lost. I’ve been only driving to work and back but It’s starting to be a serious safety concern to myself and other drivers on the road, and not to mention the progression of damage to my car ..I’m afraid and I am in desperate need of help. I don’t really have anyone to turn to.. anything will help. Bless you. My
Heart is so heavy and all I want to do is better my life, have my car, and continue my education because I don’t want to struggle! I would love to be in a situation where I could help someone else and return that blessing.
Help me reach my goal to $2000, anything will help.

PAY OFF TITLE LOAN ON FAMILY CAR

2C22223D-583B-424A-825E-5BF2D63B3D68.jpeg

Hi, my name is Kevin. I’m not sure how to start this off because I don’t ever ask any random people for money but me and my family are flat out of options. I don’t know what else to do but google free money. Not sure how to start this off but maybe I’ll just share a short story of my life and our struggles right now. Hope this conveys your heart to help if that’s what your goal really is.
So, my girlfriend and I been together for 3 years now and we have a beautiful little girl whom just turned 2 sept. 20th. She’s a bundle of joy and headaches(lil humor). We got into this relationship kind of by accident I guess one could say. But we love each other and continue to push through our ups and downs, especially for our little girl. I say this because we’ve struggled from the very beginning. We have been evicted and homeless before(going through it again). Had our power & gas shut off many times. Had our cars repoed multiple times. I’ve been too jail many times for petty driving offenses and missing court. We’ve got fines and debt that seems to just build and build. A whole lot more but I’m not going to go on and on. My point is, we wish to just catch a break. We’ve never really enjoyed each other’s company besides at home and it’s been almost everyday since we met. I’m also a felon. 10 years ago I made terrible choices which continue to haunt me. I can’t secure a good job for the life of me. So I end up being a stay at home dad. It hurts me because I feel like I’m failing my family as a man because I can’t provide properly. I do what I can. The felony was for armed robberies. I was lost and angry at the world. I’m a lot of ways I feel like I did when I committed the offenses. I need money so bad but I’m not a bad person. I feel cheated in life for some reasons but I also take full responsibility for my actions. I’d never do those things again. But sitting here with nothing and having been a good person in society for years is destroying my faith in doing this right. Anyway, right now we’re so deep in the pit we can’t see no light. We burned up loans and friends and family loans. Got no way to come up with anything right now. In I think April two days before my birthday I was pulled over for not having my front plate put on my bumper(it was in my window). I didn’t have insurance yet because we just paid cash for a car. So I had court. I took a plea deal for 6 months court supervision and a $295 fine. The judge then set a new court date. I had 60 days to pay the fine off before court. We couldn’t afford it because my girlfriends job(security) took her off the work schedule(her supervisor-a women was retaliating for my girl leaving work early one time). She never was fired. In fact after 4 or 5 months she’s still employed but they won’t schedule her. It’s infuriating! Anyway I missed court. I know, what was I thinking. Well, it was my fault(I slept in). Mornings are really hard for me, seriously. But they had court without me and since I already had signed a plea deal I wasn’t needed there in the first place(thought I would’ve got a warrant). But me missing court and not paying the fine had some other repercussions. Apparently they ended up suspending my DL and my license plates! Even though my girlfriend is the primary title holder. Then a week after my DL was suspended I got pulled over driving with my girlfriend and daughter(twice-2nd time I wasn’t driving). Yes, I shouldn’t have been driving. Bad decision. Since we did have insurance and the officer was understanding he didn’t take me to jail but they impounded the car. That was $410!!! Literally all the money we had and also some of my brothers money which we now have to pay back. Not to mention I now have court again and I have to pay the fines off before then so I hopefully don’t go to jail. I’m tired of this cycle. All this crap literally happens at the same time of year every year!!! Hold up, let me rewind a little bit. Back when we first bought our car(January 2019 w/tax money) we got a title loan of $800. After all the taxes were gone with no jobs we needed it. The total of payments comes out to $2,840.07. Ridiculous. So, we tried to dodge the repo for about a month because we can’t afford it. We also have an outstanding balance with our landlord. Over $1,500! And they served the five day notice already. My girl just started a new job finally after a month of already getting the job. We don’t got transportation now because the car got taken TODAY! So, in order for us to get it back, we got to come up with $1,000! We have NOTHING! We also have other loans we have to pay back so we can’t even get another one to pay that one!
On top of all this, we both have depression and anxiety and bipolar disorder. I have ptsd and I can’t handle all this very well. I mean I try my hardest to not let it show for my family but I’m losing it. My girl is hurting and I know she is thinking bout leaving me. I love her and my family so much. I used to think this was my way to a better life. But now I’m starting to really think I’m just a burden. I ruin lives. I’ve almost committed suicide more times than I can count on both my hands. I’d go deeper into that but I’m tryin my best to not go there. I just wish we could get a fresh start. A real shot at the life everyone talks about. Never really knew what freedom was. I make music too, I’m very passionate about it. Everyone says I’m super talented and I know it but I’ve never made more than a couple hundred or so from it. I thought that might be the way out of all our problems but I’m starting to really see that maybe I should’ve been workin for the man somehow. My shoes ain’t easy to fill. I can’t imagine why anyone would want to.
Anyway, I don’t mean to bore you or even bother you with my problems. I just don’t know what else to do. So I’m just asking for $1,000.00. We need our car. We need our job. Our home. Peace of mind. Please help, please be for real. I don’t want to be useless. I know I didn’t earn this money, nor do I deserve it. But for my daughter. For her mother. Please! I can send any info you may need!
Thank you for your time if you read this. And thank you for the money if you send it. If you don’t send it, still thank you because you may have helped others who probably know our struggle.
Sincerely, Kevin

I could really do with a little help if possible..

I have no idea where to start… you’ve probably heard that many times before I’m guessing. But seriously, where does one begin when asking a stranger for help?

I’m in my late 30’s, a mother, a full time worker, and very much in debt. It started years ago when we had our home repossessed. This was due to my Husband losing his job with no notice or redundancy, the company he worked for went bust so we used our savings to pay the mortgage. The savings ran out, and then we lost everything.

A few years later I find that I still have not caught up. I’m always waiting until pay day, and within a week, I’m waiting for the following months pay day. You see I’m in debt, a lot of debt. I’m ashamed to say around £8k, and I don’t know how to get out of it. My credit rating is very bad so a loan is out of the question, and I’ve taken out pay day loans just to try and keep my head above water, but alas… this has left me in an even worse situation. If I could clear the debt and have a new slate, I know I could provide for my family with a good budgeting plan in place. But that’s easier said than done. The bills every month are leaving me with a small amount to try and stretch, and I’m getting myself into a bigger hole.

I have worked since I was 15, I’ve always tried to better myself even though I have ran into one blow after another. But I count my blessings, I have the most amazing children and I will do anything for them, anything at all. I’ll go without to make sure they have what they need, and I don’t ever want them to know the financial struggle I face every single day. I don’t want them to know I’m laying awake at night scared for the morning and the letters and phone calls I might receive relating to money. They understand that Mummy can’t afford certain things, but they are good kids and they don’t pressure me or get upset.

And this is where I really could do with some help if at all possible. I have fallen behind with the rent on our council home, after nearly a year of almost getting it back on track. I’m so disappointed in myself. I have to pay £839.69 or I am facing eviction – and this amount is going up weekly. I have no money in the bank, I paid £100.00 on the rent this week but it isn’t enough. My car is late on its MOT, it’s due to go in tomorrow. I’m scared as I can’t afford to even pay the £35.00 for the MOT,  and my car is an old car. And if it fails, how do I get to work, public transport is too expensive. You see, I’m in a real mess. And I don’t want to try and create a sob story, but I am battling with my mental health. I suffer  from severe anxiety due to a number of reasons, and going to work everyday is something I need to do, I can’t let it beat me, as much as sometimes I just want to bury my head in the sand, I know that will not get me anywhere.. Tempting as it is. I can’t remember what it is like to be able to have a full nights sleep and not get up in the morning with a huge heavy weight in your stomach and on your shoulders that you carry around all day. I just want to be able to feel mentally at ease again and to stop worrying every single second.

Well, if you got this far, thank you for reading. And I hope you have a good day.

Thank you again, and I’m genuinely sorry I’ve had to ask for help.

Natalie.

Retrenched dad with mounting debt

Living in the urban means higher costs of living. However, that is the reality after graduating with accounting degree and had jobs in companies. Got married and have a family and bestowed with children one after another. Salary from the job increased but only covered the inflation. Growing number of the family members means bigger requirements. Needed a bigger house and bought it on a mortgage.  A big chunk of the earned salary, after pre-deduction of tax, went to pay for the mortgage.

Growing children brought together the responsibilities of feeding them and giving education. Aware of this, we never had a dinner at any fancy restaurant on our treat. Mostly food has been prepared at home because that is the cheapest. I had home prepared food to the office almost every day! We never had fancy cars. A van was bought on hire purchase with the main purpose of transporting the family. Despite working hard, salary increased measly. Cost of living has been ever increasing leaving barely anything for savings. Salary earned was not enough to sustain the necessities.  Credit card was a big mistake that I have ever taken. Even using it for the necessities, interest kept growing bigger and bigger and finally ballooned and fully utilized. Believe me, I have never spent on luxury items neither my family members. Even spending on the necessities, low salary made my credit card debt ballooned. To solved this, a longer term loan to repay credit card debt was obtained. Since then, the loan had been repaid according to the schedule by deduction order from the salary. Jewelry had also been pawn and not able to be redeemed but just paying the financing cost roll-on only without touching the principal.

Unfortunately, the company that I had been working for so long exercised a retrenchment. Off course the retrenchment money should be used to settle mortgage as it is your family’s living place. The balance is for daily spend and is depleting. The longer term loan monthly payment is jeopardized. The bank is starting to ask for payment. This is scary for me and the family that include my wife who is a housewife and four daughters who are still studying at various levels. Some of them live on study loans which barely meet their necessities. I often have to “top-up” when there is something urgently needed. My children are taught to be thrifty in spending their study loan money.

It has been six months since the retrenchment. I have tried my best to seek other jobs, but so far has not been successful. I have called my friends whom promised to let me know if they came across with any opportunity, but none yet. I tried another thing; had authored a book and have been published in Amazon.com titled “Pivot Power – Basics of The Basics of Excel Pivot”. I will author another one as one of my efforts.

The thing that really bothering me now is the long term loan repayment before legal action is taken. Having the bank to seek their loaned money back is an event very unpleasant for everyone. It has a devastating effect not only for me, my wife, my children and the whole family. It is a very unpleasant situation that can happen to you. Please help my children and family out of this. Total amount is $37,000.  Thank you.

I would appreciate any help.

Hello,  my name is Jasmine.

I’m a college student living in a 2 bedroom duplex with my brother, sister, and mother. We are currently 2 months behind on rent, and I just found out that our rent increased to 1,250 dollars . My mother isn’t working because  of a surgery she had on her hand, and for some reason, the government won’t grant her any disability. My brother lost his job a couple weeks ago, but recently found a new one. But of course, he wont be getting paid anytime soon. My sister works minimum wage with bad hours, and for me, I was planning on being a full-time college student and try to help my family with scholarships and financial aid but I’m currently looking or a job as well. I grew up in a low-income household my whole life, I don’t think there was ever a time where we didn’t have a financial emergency. But even so, I don’t want to be homeless another time.

I’m trying to get my associates in psychology, and then transfer to a better university. In the future, I hope to get my doctorates and open my own family practice. I really want to finish school so I can get a better job with better pay so I could help my family. But lately, I’ve been thinking that I should take a break from school and just work.

I’ll be forever grateful for any help provided for my family and I.

Emergency Custody Hearing!

We are raising money for My granddaughter who has been being Physically and Emotionally and Mentally abused by her father and her fathers girlfriend. 

has finally opened up about all the abuse she has been taking for the past 4 years by her father and her fathers friend. 

We got her whole confession recorded. She confessed On Friday 28th 2019. 

I can’t go into details about the kind of abuse she was going threw because anything that is said is used against Her by her father. 

She made another confession that I happened to get part of it recorded Saturday September 29 2019.

So on Sunday the 29th we got up early and went to the Lancaster County Police Station to file for an Emergency PFA for Scarlet. When we go there they told us we need to go to the police station that is closest to our home. We were under the impression that because the case is threw Lancaster County that’s where we had to go. 

So we headed towards home made the phone call to the police station. They said they would have someone call me. 

Pacing back and forth waiting for that call to see if someone will finally listen. 

An amazing Police Officer called and she asked us a bunch of questions and collected information from us.

She then said I have to locate the judge that is on-call and explain to him what you have told me and see what he says and I will call you back.

By now I have bit all my nails off. 

The phone rings it’s the same Officer and she had a few more questions that the judge told her to ask us so we again told her what she needed to know and she gave us the location and address to where we have to go to see the judge. 

So after driving 45 minutes to Lancaster and 45 minutes back and now we have to drive 1 hour to where the judge that is on call is located. So we head there and we get there and I have no nails left to buy and I have probably asked Her a million times if she is sure this is what she wants and if she is sure this is what she wants to do. 

I want the decision to be made by her because ultimately I feel she should get to pick where she wants to live as long as it is a safe environment for her. She yet again said she is sure. I told her she may never see her dad again because of the horrible horrible things he has done to her. And she said she never wants to see him again for the rest of her life. 

So the judge gets there I have a whole entire bag of documents. I have all the court orders since 2014 I have all the Prior PFAs we had against him. I have all the children and youth cases that were opened against him and the case that is currently open. I have all his contempt violations. I have been keeping track each day that She just openly says to me. 

I have no idea how She stayed this strong for this long. I knew about the abuse happening and we have literally tried everything we could to get her out of it. But she was so scared for her life and for her families lives being takin by her dad that she wouldn’t never talk. She would tell us things and beg us not to tell her dad or to not let her dad know. We would never tell her dad anything but it killed us not to be able to stick up for her. We have been in and out of court since 2014. It’s been a long battle and a ugly one. She has suffered the most. No matter how hard we tried. No matter how much proof and how much evidence we had against Her father we just could not get anywhere. We get the same out come every time. 

September 2nd 2019 when we dropped Her to her dad and he flipped out because we had put color in Her hair. She earned it fair and square. It was not all of her hair just some purple and blue and teal it looked amazing. Her father and fathers girlfriend started yelling and screaming and calling her names and calling us names. He told us to get out of the car and fight him. He chased after our car. He yelled and he screamed at Her and us calling us every name in the book. 

Then he grabbed Her by her hair and yanked her by her hair into the house and up the stairs and into the bathroom and forced her in the shower and told her she could not come out till all the color was out of her hair. 

That was it. 

I contacted Her School they contacted Children and Youth. I contacted my therapist about it. I also contacted children and youth myself to make them aware of all the abuse. 

I had honestly given up on Child and Youth because they never helped us in anyway. We have had about 8 open cases with records of abuse.

Soo. It began. Documenting anything and everything I can each day. From talking to the guidance counselor to Scarlets teacher to my therapist. I couldn’t allow this to happen I had to come up with a plan of action and a plan that would hopefully somehow some way get Her the help she needs. 

We are going to fight till there is nothing left. 

So my plan was to communicate with the school as much as possible. To contact her teacher as much as possible. And to make sure I do everything by the court order and the book. There is no time for error anymore. No time for mistakes. No time. 

She  thinks her dad is going to kill her and her family.

Have you ever heard your child say that? 

Have you ever had to watch your child say those exact words? 

I can’t even begin to try to explain how We felt or what we felt or anything. 

But we knew this was our chance. This was our chance to help scarlet and get scarlet out of this horrible situation. 

Sitting there holding Her in my arms as she cries like I have never heard her cry before. As she is telling me about all the abuse and the horrible things that they were doing to her constantly. Just rubbing her hair and holding her close and loving her. 

So even tho I wanted nothing more then to break down with her I couldn’t do that. I had to stay strong I had to be strong I had to do whatever I could to help. 

Hearing the awful things Scarlet says about her self just killed us. I knew it was bad but I had no idea that it was this bad. 

She got picked up by the throat.

She got smacked anywhere and everywhere with an open hand and a closed hand. 

She was locked out of the house. 

She got told they were going to kick her out and she can’t live there anymore. 

She got hit with a belt.

She  was almost ripped out of a moving vehicle.

She would get choked. 

She would get pushed so hard she would nearly fall down.

She would get thrown on the floor and on the stairs and on her bed and the couch. 

She wasn’t allowed to have friends.

And I can keep going trust me I have pages and pages and pages of information. 

We can’t give up. We have to fight the hardest we have ever fought before. 

She is now old enough to testify. 

We pulled a new judge. 

She will have her own lawyer again. 

We can’t let her go back to that situation. 

I’m not asking for a certain amount of money. We literally have nothing because of all the fees and lawyers and court costs and constables. 

So we got the EPFA so now we go to court to see if we can get it to stick them if the judge agrees with it we will go to another hearing and both parties will get to present their case. 

We need all the help we can get. We can’t let Her go threw anymore abuse. 

I not exactly sure what Her lawyer is charging us and I’m not sure how much the constable is charging. 

She can’t be by her self. We have papers on the wall with all required information she needs to report to 911 Incase something happens. We have rehearsed our safety plan over and over again. The cops are checking on the house multiple times. We locked every single door and every single window. We hung blankets over every door and every window. She can’t get out of the car untill we give her the go ahead. Someone has to walk in the house first before her and someone has to walk in after her.

Also when we go to court she will have an escort because she does not want to see her father or talk to her father. She is scared to death. 

We will keep trying! We will keep doing everything we can! But we need some help!
