besoin d’aide de financement en urgence

**Objet : Demande de don ou de prêt pour la reprise d’un magasin alimentaire**

Chers membres de la communauté,

Je me permets de vous écrire aujourd’hui pour vous exposer une situation personnelle et solliciter votre aide dans un projet important pour notre village.

Je m’appelle Emmanuel, j’ai 36 ans et je vis en Suisse avec mes trois enfants. Malheureusement, j’ai récemment perdu mon emploi suite à un retrait de permis. Cette situation a bouleversé notre vie et rendu notre quotidien très difficile, surtout dans notre petit village du Jura Bernois.

Cependant, une opportunité s’est présentée pour moi de reprendre le magasin alimentaire du village. Ce commerce joue un rôle vital dans la communauté, et sa continuité est essentielle pour de nombreux habitants. En reprenant ce magasin, non seulement je retrouverais un emploi, mais je contribuerais également à maintenir un service indispensable pour notre village.

Pour réaliser ce projet, j’ai besoin de réunir 60 000 CHF. C’est pourquoi je me tourne vers vous aujourd’hui en espérant obtenir un don ou un prêt pour financer cette reprise. Votre soutien serait un véritable coup de pouce pour moi et ma famille, ainsi que pour notre communauté.

Si vous souhaitez contribuer, vous pouvez le faire via mon lien PayPal : [https://paypal.me/EmmanuelBleux?country.x=CH&locale.x=fr_FR]

Je vous remercie d’avance pour votre générosité et votre soutien. Ensemble, nous pouvons faire en sorte que ce magasin continue de servir notre village.

Cordialement,
Emmanuel B.

Request for Single Mother Facing Financial Hardship Due to Family Caregiving Crisi

I am writing to express my sincere need for financial assistance as a single mother navigating a challenging period in my life. This is hard for me as I am seldom comfortable asking others for help. If you knew me you would understand how much it took to write this request.

I am the sole provider for my 14-year-old son, and while I am grateful to own my home outright, it requires extensive repairs that are beyond my current means. Over the past year, I depleted most of my 401(k) savings to replace the roof, but I have yet to replace the gutters. Additionally, my pool appears to be leaking, and both the interior and exterior of my home need significant repairs.

Beyond my personal financial struggles, I have also been the primary support system for my aging parents and uncle. My mother battled Alzheimer’s and dementia for years before being placed in assisted living, while my father—who recently began showing signs of dementia himself—was still acting as the caregiver for his younger brother, who also suffers from memory loss. Their situation reached a critical point when I discovered my father had forgotten to pay his mortgage, and his home was in foreclosure. I worked urgently to sell the house and relocate him and my uncle closer to me, all while managing hospital stays and rehabilitation cycles for both my mother and uncle.

As I was making these arrangements, both my mother and uncle were placed on hospice care. In the span of one week, my mother passed away on November 15, and my uncle on November 21. I covered their cremation expenses out of pocket and have yet to arrange their cemetery services due to financial constraints. During this time, I was also struggling at work. I was employed in inside sales, but the time I had to take off for caregiving caused my commissions to suffer, leaving me with only my base hourly pay. The overwhelming stress of my personal and financial burdens led me to resign from my job in November 2024.

Since then, I have been actively seeking stable employment while supplementing my income through food delivery services, which allows me to cover only the absolute essentials. However, most of my bills are either late or remain unpaid, and I am struggling to regain financial stability. I am committed to improving my situation and providing for my son, but at this moment, I desperately need assistance. Receiving this grant would offer me the opportunity to catch up on overdue bills, address critical home repairs, and create a more stable environment for my son.

I deeply appreciate your time and consideration of my application. Any support you can provide would mean the world to me and my family. Please let me know if you require any further information.  paypal.me/kcarelli

Unexpected, Time Sensitive Urgency to Cover Living Expenses

Hello. I’d been able to remain above water until very recently, when I lost pretty much all of my funds to a hacker. All of my living expenses are due, and with the rising costs of food, the little funds I do have as cash will not be able to do much, although it will do something, perhaps for one grocery trip.

 

I own(ed) a small business which was defrauded, and was able to live off of savings while I’m looking for a job. The savings is what was very recently hacked/stolen from me. Based on what I’ve experienced with the interactions I’ve had with employers, the slow timeframes employers to take to execute or make decisions to continue their interview process, in general, will create an even more time sensitive urgency which is why I’m creating this request. I do not qualify for unemployment since I am not and have not been a W-2 employee for years.

 

My immediate needs are to be able to pay my bills, most of which are due soon, and 2 of which are past due. Mainly the roof over my head (which is on a month to month contract, and I couldn’t pay at the beginning of this month), car insurance and gas (my car is paid for, so I have no car note), cell phone bill (which I need in order to secure employment, as well as have for my personal safety), my health insurance, and other smaller but necessary utilities/bills. I was left with bills for my business, but with this request, my focus is on my immediate personal needs to prevent becoming homeless, be able to continue to buy food to cook, and to continue being able to search for work.

 

I do not have any immediate family to ask. My parents are deceased. This is the first time I’m doing anything like this. My request is for $4,500, and I would be grateful to receive that amount and even more grateful if I’m given more. My entire days are and have been dedicated to finding employment, especially something I can begin immediately, as opposed to having to wait at least one month, which is typical, at least for right now. Thank you for reading this far. If you’re able to donate, I greatly appreciate your gesture.

Help preventing eviction!

Hello whomever happens to stumble upon this posting. As the title suggests I am reaching out during this challenging time for much needed help. I am currently behind on rent due to becoming a single income household. I have until March 20th to come up with the amount or my family will become homeless. My family consists of myself and my four children, soon to be five as I am expecting. The financial strain that comes with supporting my children has made it impossible to keep up with all of the bills. I have reached out to countless churches, 211, rental assistance, and social services but have been denied help or told they are out of funding for the mentioned resources. I am behind by $5,000 and would be grateful for any donation that you can provide. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this post. Thank you so much if you can help at all  🙏

Requesting business fund needed

am an architect, I am doing small house construction projects. I have planned to build 2 small houses for those who are homeless and do not have money to build a house. I have decided to do the construction for them free of charge. I have also planned to donate money for their children’s education. But I do not have enough money to do this at this time, so I hope for your help.

My goal is to choose 2 such poor families every year and help them and make the future of their children better. I also believe that through such projects, poverty can be eradicated, the living conditions of people can be improved, and the level of education can be improved.

I hope that people who care about the poor, who can understand their difficulties, and who have a good heart will help me make these projects successful. Thank you.

A bed for my Children

Hello everyone,
I am the mother of four children and we’re going through an extremely difficult time, unable to feed ourselves properly and pay our bills. I lost my job 10 months ago and I am trying as hard as I can to find another. But my efforts have been in vain so far. Recently, my apartment was infested by bedbugs, which destroyed all our beds and mattresses, as well as our furniture. I gave everything I had to have a company come and disinfect the apartment, which was no longer liveable and endangering the children’s health. I have nothing left and I am appealing to your generosity to help me buy new beds for the children, who currently sleep on the floor. I’d also like to buy a second-hand utility vehicle to deliver mail and light parcels. A sum of €20,000 would help me achieve all these goals and help me regain my financial independence so I can take care of my family.

Thank you in advance for your generosity.

Attorney fund for Thomas

Hello everyone. My name is Sabrina and I am here on behalf of my boyfriend Thomas. Thomas is currently in jail on an $80,000 cash bond for an assault 2nd charge that was not done on purpose. 

He’s in jail because of his ex best friend putting something in his drink that caused him to act not himself. His ex friend had cut the oil line on his truck. In which, an argument had occurred and he was arrested because of what his ex friend had done. The ex best friend was not arrested and was allowed to go home freely.

I’m trying to raised money for an attorney. The court appointed attorney is not trying to help him and keep giving him the run around.

I found an attorney that will represent him and his retainer fee is $5,000. I’m trying to raised enough money for the attorney to be able to get Thomas out of jail and $3,000 for his mortgage and other bills ($8,000 total).

Thomas is an amazing, caring, devoted, loyal and a wonderful human being who would never harm anyone intentionally or on purpose. He is hardworking and have been working at his manufacturer job for 19 years. He is a great person to be around and so dearly loved and will give you his last dollar.

Thomas has been in jail since February 8th, 2025. His court date was March 10th, 2025 and the judge will not release him from jail. This is his first time being in jail and his mental health is starting to deteriorate rapidly. He has apologize and deeply regret for everything that happen.

I’m asking for $8,000.

Attorney retainer fee – $5,000

Mortgage and bills.    – $3,000

If you can find it in your heart to donate, I really would appreciate your blessings and kindness and have a blessed day.

Thank you….

Seeking Support During a Difficult Time

Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers,

We are reaching out in a moment of great hardship, hoping for a little support as we navigate one of the most challenging times in our lives. Recently, we suffered the devastating loss of my mother-in-law. As anyone who has lost a loved one knows, funeral expenses can be overwhelming, and unfortunately, we were unprepared for the financial burden that came with saying our goodbyes.

To cover the costs, my husband and I were left with no choice but to sell his work truck—the very vehicle he relied on for his job. It was an incredibly difficult decision, as it not only meant parting with something he worked so hard for, but it also meant sacrificing his ability to earn a living. Without the truck, he has been unable to continue working, which has placed an immense financial strain on us.

In addition to selling the truck, we had to withdraw money from my 401k just to help cover the remaining expenses. This has left us in an even more precarious situation, as those savings were meant to secure our future, not be a last resort to get through today. Despite our best efforts to keep up, we have now fallen behind on our mortgage and household bills, and we are facing the harsh reality of not knowing how we will catch up.

Living in rural Wyoming presents its own challenges. Job opportunities are scarce, and without reliable transportation, my husband has been unable to find work that doesn’t require long-distance commuting. The stress of this situation has been overwhelming, and while we are doing everything we can to get back on our feet, we are in urgent need of help to get through this difficult time.

We never imagined having to ask for assistance, but right now, we have nowhere else to turn. If you are able to offer any support—whether it be financial help, job leads, or simply sharing our story—we would be forever grateful. Every little bit makes a difference, and we appreciate any kindness sent our way.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story, and from the bottom of our hearts, we appreciate your compassion and generosity.

God bless you all.

Please Help!!! Combat Veteran Going to Be Homeless

I, George Quinney, born in November of 1976, I’m a 90% disabled combat veteran who served 16 years in the Marine Corps from 1997 to 2013. After his honorable service, I transitioned to a career in the tech side petroleum industry, where I worked primarily with computers, from 2013 until facing significant employment challenges due to the previous administrations actions. A proud husband to my wife, Alexa, and father to our four children—Justin (age 2), Tiffany (age 4), Connor (age 15), and Lauren (age 16)—We have faced mounting financial and personal hardships in recent years.

Following my military service, I leaned on his skills and resilience to provide for my family. However, prolonged periods of unemployment—9 months in 2023, 7 months in 2024, and 3 months in 2025—have absolutely drained my savings entirely. Now, I am relying solely on my VA pension and credit cards to support his family of six. The VA pension, while a lifeline for disabled veterans like me, is calculated based on his 90% disability rating and family size, but it has proven insufficient to cover rising costs, especially with young children and teenagers at home. My petroleum industry job, once stable, has not provided the security we hoped for, leaving us vulnerable during these gaps in employment.

Compounding these struggles, Me and my family recently learned our landlord will not renew their lease, threatening our housing stability. They are requesting we move out within these next six weeks. With no savings left and credit card debt accumulating, We face an uncertain future. The VA offers benefits like disability compensation, health care through CHAMPVA for dependents, and potential housing assistance via the VA Home Loan Guaranty program, but navigating these resources can be daunting under such immediate time sensitive pressure. My situation reflects the challenges many veterans encounter post-service—balancing pride in their sacrifices with the harsh realities of financial strain.

For us, immediate steps could include contacting the VA for emergency assistance, such as the Veteran Rapid Retraining Assistance Program (VRRAP) for job retraining in high-demand fields, or seeking aid from veteran support organizations like the VFW or DAV. These programs have been contacted with no help available due to not qualifying or extended timelines that will not work. With a family depending on me, my Marine Corps grit will be tested anew as I fight to secure stability in an unforgiving civilian landscape. Time is critical, and community support could be the difference between recovery and collapse for my family. We are requesting help for the ability to move. Covering a first and last months rent along with deposit and moving costs for rental trucks and hiring services. Do to my injuries I’m not able to move furniture or heavy items.

 

I don’t like doing this! But at this point, I feel I have exhausted all my possible options and any level of support will be supremely heartfelt in appreciation

Little man with a huge heart!!

Dear friends,

I hope this message finds you well. Im reaching out with a humble and sincere request for financial assistance to help my lil man, Rowdee, receive the life-saving heart medication he desperately needs. This is not an easy message for me to write, but the love and dedication I have for him compels me to set aside my pride and ask for help.

Rowdee has been my best friend, my boy, and the one constant positive light In a dark world bringing love, comfort, and joy into my life every single day. Recently, he was diagnosed with A congenital, heart disease and an enlarged heart. The veterinarian has prescribed medication that is essential for managing his condition and giving him a chance at a longer, healthier life. Unfortunately, the cost of this medication, along with ongoing veterinary visits, has put a financial strain on me that I am struggling to manage alone.

Despite my best efforts cutting back on expenses, looking into financial assistance programs, and seeking alternative ways to cover the cost I have come up short. I am currently facing A reduction in the workforce at my job with the possibility of a layoff, making it incredibly difficult to afford the necessary treatment for Rowdee.

The thought of not being able to provide the care that he needs is heartbreaking. He has been there for me through thick and thin, offering unconditional love and companionship. Now, I want to do everything in my power to be there for him When he needs me like he’s always been there for me.

If you are able to assist in any way whether its a small donation, sharing my request with others, or simply keeping us in your thoughts and prayers I would be incredibly grateful. Every bit of help, no matter how small, will go directly toward ensuring that Rowdee Roo gets the medication and care he needs And deserves to continue living a happy and comfortable life.

If you would like more details or have any questions, please dont hesitate to reach out. I am more than willing to provide veterinary records or any necessary proof of expenses to ensure full transparency.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to read my message. Your kindness and generosity mean the world to me and the boy!

With sincere gratitude,

Rowdee’s dad(Mark)

Complicated financial situation

Hello all readers,

I’d like to introduce my current situation: I’m a 27-year-old man living in France, and I find myself stuck in a cycle I can’t seem to escape. I’m €1,000 short every month due to poor management and self-mistakes.

However, I’m now trying to get out of it on my own, but the debts I’ve accumulated are preventing me from doing so. I quit smoking to save money, cut my expenses as much as possible, and I’m doing everything in my power to get back on my feet.

I’ve never dared ask for help because I’m ashamed of it, and a friend recommended I try this kind of platform to appeal to human generosity.

To date, my debts total €30,000. This sum could reset my accounts to zero, and I hope to have an additional €20,000 to properly get back on track.

Thank you for reading to the end. I’ll post my PayPal link right here.

I WORKED FROM POOR TO RICH – until I lost EVERYTHING, caring about others…

I am so ashamed of doing this…

But I have a family relying on me, and lots more in desperate need, who are – because of my reputation for caring and providing – looking at me for help.

I HAVE to put my pride in my pocket and appeal to ANYONE who can help – in ANY way.

I am NOT a scammer or an opportunist, and I am battling with THIS extremely humiliating act of appeal for altruism and benevolence – it’s NOT who I am. I grew up with nothing, and all of the wealth I once had, was earned through hard work and perseverance. And ironically, lost the same way…

So if you are wealthy, consider my story and imagine all of this happening to you. Believe me – if you think it can’t, I used to think that too.
So, if you are reading this,

THANK YOU,

even just for reading. Whether you are in a position to help with a donation or some other solution or not, knowing that I have the opportunity to tell my story to an audience with members altruistic enough to even look at something like this, gives me a glimmer of hope in an otherwise ever-darkening world.

My apologies – even though I am attempting to keep this short, the need for some background and explanation makes it a bit long-winded, but I do not want anyone to lose the essence of who I am or the sincerity of my desperation in doing this. The long explanation also compounds the fact that although any donations at this stage would be a God-send, ANY act of altruism such as gainful employment or a business-opportunity where my skills and / or experience could be useful, would be more than welcome.

My Story…

I was born into a poor South African family, under bad domestic circumstances. I was not my mother’s husband’s child, something which I only learnt shortly before their deaths. This caused all sorts of resentments, which only seemed more profoundly true once they actually had my younger brother. Long story short, I was NOT the favourite child, and grew up basically without encouragement or support.

Having no funding or other options to study further, I joined the Army as a career-soldier and later transferred to being a career-policeman – careers which did not require further education, other than the training provided.

I was good in these military environments, as it gave me structure, discipline and a constant need to perform, to be better (something which wasn’t encouraged in my childhood). My skills eventually led me to the private sector where there was a lot more money to be made as a military contractor, which direction I pursued for a number of years.

Eventually, I realised that my career was somewhat self-defeating, and as I had made enough money to fund my own further studies, I pursued further professional education in Psychology, which opened amazing avenues of potential. My previous military experience gave me a unique insight into people in all sorts of situations, and – combined with the new knowledge in psychology – made me a sought-after consultant for large international corporations in all sorts of scenarios. I became known as a “Solutions-Engineer” and basically wrote my own pay-check… I became very wealthy doing this, and travelled all over the world, resolving workforce and management-issues for a wide variety of clients.

During 2017, I realised that my father (my mother’s husband and the only ‘father’ I ever knew) had become quite frail, and could no longer adequately survive unassisted. As my mother had divorced him and remarried some years earlier, my younger brother was elsewhere in the country and I was frequently travelling internationally, I found him accommodation in a retirement-orientated community home, which was where he insisted he wanted to be.

This home also accommodated disenfranchised elderly – the destitute old people who had been ‘thrown away’ by their families, and could not afford to live in proper retirement facilities. It was run down, a part of the building had collapsed, a large part of the 235-room building had not had hot water for 11 years, and some rooms had not had any water for 4 years.

While waiting for visas and a contract to start a large project in Belize, I gradually got involved in the social aspects of the home. I volunteered and started doing exercise-programs with the elderly, organised social events and offered my services to take them to doctors and medical facilities – all for free.

A short while later, I was informed that this business was closing down, as the current management were retiring and they (the board) could not afford to hire new management, nor maintain any aspects of the business any longer.

So, having built close relationships with most of the residents, I saw the anguish they went through at this prospect, and decided to do something about it. I volunteered to take over the business, run it personally and do all the necessary repairs, maintenance and upgrades myself. I officially took over during 2018.

Over the next three years, I invested most of my own personal funds in doing just that.

At this stage, the longest serving director on the board approached me and asked for my help. According to him, the board and its practices were corrupt, and he was no longer prepared to stand by and see the business and the residents in the building having to suffer the consequences thereof. His concern was also as regards the amount of my personal funds I had already invested in the business, and that if we DIDN’T do something, I would never get it back… Having served as a member of the board for 22 years, he had all the relevant information to prove their corruption and malpractice, but needed my help to substantiate how much the business had improved since it was being run openly and transparently, and as comparison to what had been going on there before I took over. For instance:

  • When I took over, the occupancy-rate was 32%. Within 7 months, we had improved the business so much that occupancy was at 99%.
  • Before, an average of 66 people had died per year there – mainly due to lack of care and medical attention. I had converted an entire floor to Frail Care and Assisted Living and built a Dementia / Alzheimers wing, with nursing staff on duty 24 hours per day. I had bought two small busses to be able to ferry people to doctors, clinics and hospitals and had a service-contract with a private ambulance-service. Consequently, deaths reduced to 22 in my first year, 14 in the second year, and only 7 in the third year – in the midst of Covid-19.
  • The collapsed parts of the building and the swimming pool were rebuilt and / or repaired.
  • All the original plumbing and central boiler-system was removed and replaced with more modern, power-saving single point of use water-heaters.
  • The grounds were cleaned and landscaped, with collapsed walls removed and new retaining structures installed.
  • The previous badly run, badly manipulated financial management-systems were cast out and replaced with an online, live accounting system, and all finances and assets were continuously tracked.

He registered a case against the board, and the fight was on. As the case was about to go to court, this director and I both contracted Covid-19… he didn’t make it.

With him no longer able to help pursue the matter to its intended conclusion with his personal witness-evidence, my legal team advised me to walk away from it, which I did. I had no way of reclaiming the money I had spent on the business.

Immediately, a group of the residents came to me and asked me whether I would consider opening another similar facility – they were simply no longer prepared to stay there if I left. I took the rest of what I had left of my personal wealth and did exactly that. My ‘father’ moved with.

Now, the problem with elderly people is that ultimately, they don’t last… I saw them all passing away and the meagre amount they contributed to their own survival dwindle even further (the agreement was that they would pay as much as they could afford, hoping that we would become large enough to qualify as an NPO, with welfare funding).

In 2023, one of my elderly residents suddenly became ill and was admitted to hospital. As her medical aid only provided for admission to a government-hospital, that was where she went. The treatment and care was absolutely dismal, and after consultation with her family (all overseas), I moved her to a private hospital, where she would receive better care – the family had agreed to pay the bill. It was too late for her though, and she passed away in hospital three weeks later.

The family was suddenly nowhere to be seen, and as I had admitted her to the hospital, I was responsible for the considerably large account. I paid it.

Six months later, on 01 February 2024, my ‘father’ had a massive stroke, caused by what was later discovered to be a frontal lobe tumour. As he had good medical aid (comprehensive all-cover, or so we thought), he was admitted to the same private hospital. He spent two months in intensive care and died on 01 April 2024. The medical aid only covered the first week in intensive care – the rest of the account was mine to pay – an astronomical amount. Even though he and my mother had not spoken to each other for 40 years, she died 5 days later, on 06 April 2024.

After having paid all medical costs, debts and funeral arrangements for both, I have nothing left. I had to close my business, sell most of my assets, move into rented accommodation and sell my own luxury vehicle.

I went from owning a top of the range Range Rover (which I drove), a 3-series BMW (which my father drove), a 5-series BMW (which my mother drove), a beachfront house (where my mother and her husband had lived), a small farm and a large house (in which my residents were housed) to nothing – not even transport – in seemingly a blink of an eye. My bank accounts and credit cards are depleted to the point where I am not even answering my phone anymore, for fear that it is just another debt-collector calling.

I am in a committed relationship with a widow with 3 children, ages 17, 15 and 5, all who co-habit with me in my rented house. We were supposed to have gotten married already, but I am not prepared to commit to a marriage where I cannot afford to provide for those in my house.

I have now run out of things to sell, and there is no food left. School-fees have not been paid, and I cannot afford to pay the rent for next month. Even though my fiancé does work, this is only a half-day job, and it is only enough to survive for about a week in the month.

I have been working ceaselessly at starting my own monetized Youtube-channel, but anyone who has tried this will tell you that it takes a long time before that actually starts paying. I have applied for an endless number of jobs, but I am a 58 year old white man in South Africa (I am NOT making a political statement, simply outlining the circumstances) – I am too old, too white and too qualified to be employed here – companies are essentially penalised for employing white persons.

I have even done odd maintenance jobs for the local community, such as putting up fences, welding, plumbing, building and servicing and repairing ride-on mowers in an effort to bring in SOMETHING. Small community though, and there is not enough work to do to survive, or enough money to pay for it.

 

I NEED HELP!!!

Please – I just need a bit of kindness and consideration for a change. While I understand that there are HEROES who would give without expecting recompense, I would prefer if they could at least send me an email address, so I could – at the absolute very least – offer my heartfelt gratitude for their kindness.

PLEASE! If there is anyone left in this world who is still prepared to look after someone in need like I did (and lost everything because of it), I beg of you… if at all possible, I WILL repay you. I just need to survive and keep myself and my family under a roof for a little while longer, while I try to get a sustainable income from Youtube or elsewhere to perhaps once again look at restarting my business.

Thank you for reading my story… And IF you decide to help me,

THANK YOU!

You are my hero…

ABANDONED

My husband Abandoned us leaving us with nothing!

After 12 years of marriage he said he was going to the mountains for 2 days with his brother-in-law and never returned.

He moved to another state, left all his belongings behind, changed his phone number and email and blocked all of our family on all social media platforms.

Two weeks later I found out through family he had a new girlfriend.

The worst part about his abandonment is he left behind his only child. My Stepdaughter! I’m the only mama she has left and have always been here for her. That will never change!

Her mother passed away from a drug overdose years ago and therefore I stepped up to the plate. His leaving her behind is devastating to her to say the least.

We’ve been married for 12 years and just bought our “supposed” Dream Home, our “Forever Home” that we would retire in.

He emptied all the bank accounts, disconnected the utilities, canceled the car insurance and left me with all the debt. Literally everything!

He’s been dealing with his mental health for a significant amount of time. Over the last 4 years he’s become aggressive, mean and very distant and last April he physically violated me for the first time. The entire family has encouraged him to get mental health care but he refused.

He left me with a pile of debt and I am drowning. This last year he started having me use my credit cards for things with the promise they would be paid off at the end of the year. But he transferred all of our money out of our accounts.

He left November 27th right before the holidays and left me with those responsibilities alone.

I am managing a 2-acre property with horses, goats, ducks and geese and dogs and cats, alone with my stepdaughter. I do have family that helps occasionally but we are managing mostly just the two of us.

I am working but it’s limited. I have a private home studio hair salon where I work part-time.

I had a back injury and a neck surgery that caused nerve damage a couple of years ago so I had to lessen my workdays to part-time. Up until then. I was a full-time Independent contractor. Now I barely make enough to meet our basic needs let alone pay for the huge debt he left me.

I was completely blindsided by this so I couldn’t prepare for it

I am behind on some utilities but they are working with me until I can catch up.  Credit card interest rates are so high they are killing me. I’m basically just making the minimum (when I can.) I have managed to pay the car insurance in advance with a tax return, our groceries are limited but we’re fed and have meat in the freezer. Fuel for the cars is hit and miss so we’re planning out trips to town accordingly and utilities are always late. The gas bill is not paid. I’m managing to feed the animals but it’s such a struggle because of the credit cards. If I could get those paid off I would save an extra $1,700 a month which would be life-changing.

My credit is being severely affected by late payments and I’m worried because when things are settled after our divorce I’m going to need my credit to rely on to purchase a new home or rent some place to live. In October of 2024 I had a 760 credit score, Now it’s 580.

I do have an attorney now. My father has been able to afford to help me with that but nothing more.

My attorney assures me I’m eligible for spousal support but it will be a while before I will see that and it may not cover enough of the debt or bills. And of course we’ll have to split the debt, but he has Credit card debt (I’ve now discovered) of his own that will only balance the scale. I’m stuck either way.

My husband is taking my daughter’s social security money, because as her “rep payee” he is the recipient for her since she’s a minor. He’s spending it for himself and his needs.

He’s quit paying the mortgage so I’m certain we are going to lose this home because I cannot afford the mortgage on my own.

Because I don’t have any legal authority over my stepdaughter, I’m not entitled to her monthly social security money (from her mother’s death) and I’m also not eligible for child support.

All of this being said… I’m stress to the max, BUT I’m a fighter and I will do my best to not let this destroy us. I will be here for her and I will fight for the sanctity of a secure home. I’m not quitter, I just need help.

When I came into this relationship I had a lot of money, when I got sick and needed to rely on him and his income he left. That’s the only way I can explain it now.

They say what God brings you to he will bring you through, … A YouTube video for this page popped up the other day and it hit me like a ton of rocks. I thought to myself, maybe this is the answer that will help us. My faith in God will never waver and I know he has a better plan for us. Ultimately. It’s just really hard right now to see the end result. My heart is broken and I’m still in shock this had happened. Like a tornado he just ripped my entire life away from us and left us stranded with nothing.

I desperately want to protect her from any lack of normality. I don’t want her to be affected or embarrassed by things because I can’t pay for something we need. Whatever it may be. On top of her Dad leaving her! She’s been through enough tragedy in her lifetime!

I’m very embarrassed to be asking for a handout but I am desperate. I’ve come to the realization I’m going to have to get rid of our animals… The dogs and cats are easy to keep but the horses are expensive. The sad part is the animals are the one thing that brings us joy in this crappy time.

If anyone is interested in helping, I want to make you a promise that I will pay it forward when things level out and I am back on track. I have always been a giver and very generous to those in need. You have my word and a pinky swear on that.

To anyone who read this far, thank you so much for taking the time and for your consideration in this matter. I am beyond humbled and grateful for any and all help.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Always Aloha and God Bless Y’all🌸 Andrea

 

*My overall debt is $36,000 in credit card debt. Part of that is Amazon which I’m using to purchase things that we need. But I am very close to maxed out.

If I can pay that that off it will save me roughly 1700 a month which will be a huge help.

Thank you Again!
