Homeless at 20

(I really suck at writing but I’m gonna try my best to voice my situation.)

hey I’m Sara I’m 20 years old. At 15 I got involved with CPS cause of neglect in the home and that’s really when my story started, at 16 CPS thought I definitely needed to be removed from my home and I went into a group home at first I didn’t like being away from my old house but then as I was away I saw why I needed to get out. I wasn’t really living in that home more then surviving. So I just started my life in the system. Lots of hard times came my way but I was learning to have a better way of life. Even though my home situation wasn’t good and cause of the system you changed group homes ever 6-12 months I lived at my first group home at 16-17 then aged out cause it was for 13-17 year olds then went to another group home from 17-18 and then aged out of the children’s system of care which was the organization that I was part of and put into the adolescence housing. But not a lot of places worked for my case so I couldn’t find a place to go, for a while I was house hoping(going from friend to friend but each place I could only stay for a couple days or like 2 weeks at most cause people had there own life) and my case worker then told me about a couple places and that’s when I found out of a place called covenant house (a homeless shelter for young adults ages 18-22) for emergency housing they accepted me right away due to the high demands of the program I had to agree right away. It actually helped me get back on my feet and save money for when I am ready to leave. But most of the time you can only stay there for about 3 months give or take. But I was qualified for the covenant house group home. So I was at the homeless shelter for 3 months then transferred to the group home which I was more used to and there was way less people there. But some stuff happened and my mental health took the best of me. And I had lost my place at the group home. But so I could of maybe gone back to the group home once I got better but somehow I couldn’t go back to any covenant houses in my state anymore and so that’s off the table. But now I am looking for some help in getting my own place cause I am aging out of the whole system at 21 and I’ll be on my own I have barely anything saved up due to paying for my own expenses. This is where I start to suck at voicing my need cause I don’t like asking for specific amount of money cause any amount will help! But the place I am looking at is a room for about 600$ a month, once I get back on my feet so like get a job or two and start to save my money so about 2-3 months I give my self to get on my feet and have money saved up. So I’m asking for help for about 3 months worth of rent so about 1800$

Losing our place to live!

Hello! First of all I want to start out by saying this is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. I don’t do well asking for help, especially asking strangers for help. I also want to say to those of you that give… the world definitely needs more heros like you. Before sending this message I prayed to God to give me the words to ask for help. You see, the reason I had to pray is again, I’m just not very good at asking for help. I’m the one that generally gives, but I am at a place in my life where I, well my husband and I need help. We have been together since 7th & 8th grade (1983) and were married in December 1988. We just celebrated our 31st anniversary and we are so blessed! God has blessed us with 3 beautiful daughters ages 26, 23 and 22. Our greatest blessing yet is our 5 year old grandson that is nothing short of perfect. My husband and I have always been very outgoing and hard workers. Both of us having jobs since the 6th grade. My husband actually graduated with his Bachelors degree in education and then he got his Masters in Educational Administration in one year. Let me just say.. That was one of the craziest years ever, because we had 3 young ones under the age of 4 years old. It was worth it, as those are some of the best memories and I wouldn’t have changed a thing. My husband went on to teach and coach for several years. Those were also very rewarding years because we had many parents tell us their child would not have graduated if not for my husband’s influence on their child. I have worked the last 24 years in the insurance industry until 5 years ago when health problems became so chronic and severe I was unable to work. Unfortunately during this same time my husband has had many health problems as well. Since having the physical issues we both are now suffering awful depression and anxiety because we just feel broken and like we have let down the ones we love because we can’t do what we used to do.

Well, I will get to the point for my post. My husband and I having been struggling pretty bad financially since 2015. We had to live with one of our daughters for 6 months and that just about killed me because I am supposed to be the supporter not need. Well my husband found a job working part-time and we were able to find a roommate situation that worked perfect with the little money he is bringing home. But at least it was a place to live so our girls didn’t have to worry about us. Well.. Just last week we were told the place we are living is going to be sold and we have to be out by February 1st. We have not told our girls yet because we did not want to worry them any sooner than necessary. Unfortunately with the amount my husband has been bringing home with rent and groceries we have not been able to save anything, let alone enough to come up with to move in 1 month. Unfortunately, because of the financial problems our credit is terrible and getting a place is going to be hard and it just makes me so sad that my girls are going to have to worry about Mom and Dad again. I’m not sure if anyone will see this or read it, but I pray that you do. If you are not able to help financially if you would just pray for us I would appreciate it so very much. I know God will always provide.

Well thank you for reading my story and God Bless.

please help, desperate for rent money

Hi anyone reading, I’m so embarrassed to even consider this but I need help. This year has been tough, I had a mild break down at the start of the year caused by many issues, I suffer from endometriosis, asthma, psoriasis, fibromyalgia as well as working full time, raising my son and dealing with my husbands issues, this resulted in myself being off work for nearly 6 months although I’m fairly lucky with my job as I received full sick pay the whole time. I managed to get myself back to a state where I was able to return to work but it’s still a daily struggle. The one constant that keeps me going is my 4 year old son, I’m biased I know but he’s the most amazing, gorgeous, clever little boy and he is my absolute world, he’s the reason I’m mainly doing this. He loves his home and doesn’t want to leave.

my husband has issues putting it mildly. He’s had an alcohol problem for a while now and although he’s ‘functioning’ he has had health problems this last year, mainly seizures which has in turn resulted in job loses due to health and safety risks. 🙄 this has been an obviously hit to our income and as hard as I’ve tried I’m now really out of options, as I work I can’t claim any so called ‘crisis loans’ as these things are only for people on benefits. I get penalised for working and don’t get any help at all, even with husband out of work according to the government I apparently earn enough to pay all the bills and rent and have enough to feed and support a family. I would absolutely love to see one of them try it and see how they fare. Oh and another kicker with husband out of work I’ll lose my sons Pre school funding so he’ll lose out on time there before starting school in September. This would also then put additional strain on my mother in law who looks after my son for me while I’m at work and he’s not at Pre school.

Im stuck for the rent money this month (£700) usually the husbands wages pay this while mine does the rest. Just this months and I’m sure we’ll get through, hopefully husband has work in the next couple of weeks and we can get back on track scrapping through but surviving. Feel like I’m in a never ending battle sometimes but I have to get through it for my little boy so please anything, please anything at all is appreciated.

Thank you for reading and thank you even more if you give.

Bad decisions but a kind heart led to debt

Hi,

thank you for taking the time to read through my post.

My name is Jordan, I work for the NHS and because of the kind of person I am, helping others has caused my financial situation to spiral.

LONG ABOUT ME:

Unfortunately my debt was almost guaranteed from the moment I left primary school. For about 2 years in primary school and for a further 3 after that, I was a carer for my Great Grandfather. After my Great Grandmother died, my Grandfather began to develop Alzheimer’s disease, meaning someone needed to be there for him to make sure he ate, showered, took his pills and got ready for bed. I did this for him, for about 5 years before his Alzheimer’s got to bad that we needed to send him to a home.

Being a member of a family with 5 children, we didn’t have a lot of money, both my parents worked full time to try and provide for us, so we could not afford the cost of a care home, the only way to find this was to sell his family home, little did I know, that he had me down in the will to be left this home after he passed.

He remained at the care home for a couple of years, and I did visit as often as I could but being a non driver then, it was difficult to get around. After he passed away, I used a part of the sale of the home to pay for his funeral and burial, so he could be with my Grandmother again, this still left over £70,000 to my name. At this point I was about 18 years old, so my sights weren’t quite set for the future, and I remember seeing my parents struggle for all these years, and I wanted to help, with the remaining £70,000 I payed off every debt in their name, and had a little left over to give £2,000 each to get a new car, go on a much needed holiday and spend sometime with just the 2 of them.

A few years went by, I started working at a supermarket up the road from me, whilst I was studying and I met my current Girlfriend, Kim. It was like the movies, where they say that love is at first sight, but a few months passed before I saw her again after the first time, and in this time I managed to save enough to take her out on a date. After 6 months of dating, my parents asked if I could stay at hers for a little while, as they were planning on trying to rearrange the house slightly, because 7 people in a 3 bed house is very cramped, so of course it was no problem. Little did I know, that a little while would become 4 years!

Kims family accepted me in with open arms for a couple of years, but after this I new I had massively overstated my welcome and the forceful need to live together after 6 months and at 20 years old was taking its toll on our relationship, so I moved out again. The problem was, I didn’t have anywhere to move to. I had got my drivers license a few year prior, so I had a car to drive around in, and a new job working in what I originally thought was aviation with my dad, but it turned out to being cleaning toilets and mopping floors. The pay was terrible, minimum wage and 15 hours a week, for someone that won’t receive benefits, is minimal. I spent a few months sleeping on a few friends sofas, and a few times back at my parents, but about a year of this was spent sleeping in my car outside of work. During this period I moved to my current role working for the ambulance service, I was based a few minutes drive from my parents house, so could easily return there for a few hours to shower and wash clothes. I never complained, as I see people everyday that have it a lot harder than I did, even with no home, money or food to my name, I still made sure I helped the people on the streets as much as I could with food water and clean clothes, because although I have nowhere to live, I still have a warm place to work and a car to drive.

After I had gone through this difficult period, I started to get some real money to my name, and my Grandad had taken me for a year, so I started to get my life back in order, I was still with Kim at this point, and everything was going swimmingly. I spent a few nights a week at her parents home and a few back my grandads whilst still working about 10 hours a day.

I got a promotion in from my current role, and moved up to dispatch the ambulances, meaning a little bit more came in each month. About a year went by again, and Kim had some news…

Kim was pregnant! I panicked, I’m not financially stable enough to support myself let alone a child! I sold everything I owned, downgraded my car, and picked up as many hours as I possibly could, covering shifts of around 18 hours 7 days a week, I bought a ring, and was ready to propose. 4 months into the pregnancy we lost the baby. My heart sunk, I couldn’t get out of bed for a week or 2, I couldn’t eat I couldn’t sleep, all I could do was cry and wonder what my baby would have grown up to be.

With the money I had from selling everything I took Kim away on a holiday, we needed it. We went to Paris, we stayed in a hotel that overlooked the Eiffel Tower and we went there for dinner. I had underestimated the cost of it all, I had payed for the flights and told her it was all sorted, the hotel charge more than stated on their website as they said that was last months package, and the charge had tripled! €700 a night! I had no one to turn to ask for that kind of money, we stayed an extra night and they airline allowed dis to push back the flight, so I could try and resolve it all. I only had 2 options, a loan, or a credit card. I opted for the card as the APR was 0% for the first 18 months, I figured I could pay that off before then, so I left Paris with a credit card debt of about £3,500.

When I got back to uk I started working on the debt, but one night on my way home from work my car skidded on some ice and wrote it off. The insurance company wouldn’t pay, and I had no money for a car to get to work to pay of the debt, so I had to use my credit card to pay for a new one. Now I’m driving the car to work to pay of the debt thats for the car to drive to work.

I got the debt down to around £1,00 when Kim told me she wanted to move in together, now it wasn’t your typical moving in, Kim was also pursuing a career she had always wanted as a cabin crew. Her company informed us in November that she need to live within 45 minutes of the airport, unfortunately we were an 1hr and a half away. So we needed to move if it’s what she really wanted. She did, so we did. She started her job in January, so in about a month over Christmas we needed to find a deposit and a way of renting somewhere, kim had some savings that we used for a deposit and we moved into a 1 bed flat that costs about £895 which is about average for the area. My company would allow a transfer to closer base too, but until then I had to stay put.

About 4 months went by before I could move, and when it finally happened I new deep down I didn’t want to go, I rarely saw my family as it was, and moving further away meant I would never see them. I had just started getting a hobby too, building guitars with my grandad, and moving meant giving that up, but I’d made her a promise and I couldn’t go back on that.

I officially moved in in June last year, and my transfer went through, but it meant a £300 pay cut. With Kim on a small wage aswell, our rent and bills took almost 80% of our total income. So I again needed to use that credit card to pay for things like food, petrol, and travel.

A lot of our furniture for the home was picked up off gumtree and Facebook for free, but a few things we had to pay for, like a mattress and duvets, all of that went into the credit card. After about 6 month, that took it up to about £4,500 back on my credit card.

In December last year I crashed my car again. The same thing happened again! A small patch of ice and the whole car flipped! Obviously again my insurance would pay for it, and I NEEDED a car again for work so I had no other option…I had to get it on my credit card. I’ve got £7,500 on my card with it rising every time I need to eat.

Christmas came and went, and I couldn’t afford anything for anyone, so it was a miserable experience for everyone, I tried to do a Christmas dinner with Kims alcoholic dad, but it turned to shambles when he found the wine from when we moved in.

A few days ago my grandad, the one that took me in off the streets, was found passed away in his home, he’d been unwell for a while, but I haven’t been around to spend time with him, so it has hit me hard.

My new car has been going wrong and needs about £2,00 worth of work on it, and I need to find money to feed myself and Kim aswell get fuel to get work and to the funeral when it comes.

I don’t want to be homeless again.

SHORT ABOUT ME:

I currently work for the south central ambulance service, and on average work about 80 hours per week, so I struggle to find time to see any family members. I moved out and my wages aren’t covering the cost of my food and petrol bills along with rent costs and bills. I have looked into downsizing my home, but it is only one bedroom and is the cheapest I have seen! I was homeless for about a year, thought I’d got my finances in order, but I’m heading back that way. I’m £7,500 in debt with more payments coming up because of car problems, and having to buy food and fuel. I’ve helped my family in the last to get out of their debts but unfortunately they can’t return the favour. I haven’t had the easiest of lives, but I know that there are many many more people that are worse of them me, So I make sure every Thursday I bring food to my local homeless shelter to help out as much as I can.

Ive used loans and credit cards to pay for everything I need, but I slowly getting to a point of crippling debt.

If you could spare anything it would be a massive help to try and get everything back into shape.

Thank you for taking the time to read, and thank you for anything you offer, I am a incredibly great full for everything

Trying a new way by asking for help

I would like to first of all I would like to thank you for just taking the time out to read this. About 3 years ago I moved to a new city for work about 2 hours away from where I was living. The first school year I let my son stay with my family until I got everything ready for us both. So when he came to live with me full time and school started he could not adapt to his new school we were from a very small town and moving to the city with no family or friends it was a culture shock and just a shock to all his senses. So he finished the school year and begged to go back to the small town we were from to finish out high school so I allowed it. When I originally moved I thought it would be a goid change because my father had just passed away and when my son left I felt all alone realizing I never allowed myself to deal with my father’s death. I fell into a deep depression, I couldn’t sleep started staying up for days at a time getting nervous every time I left my home to the point it became debilitating. Needless to say I ended up losing my job then losing my home. In the midst of it I did seek help I was diagnosed with depression, ptsd, and anxiety I did seek a second opinion and was diagnosed with the same thing. I’ve been seeing a psychologist and a therapist. I have been living in a shelter for the past 2 months, I have never been homeless my son has no clue that I am in shelter neither does the rest of my family. I come from a poor but prideful family I was taught you don’t ask for things you make due with what you have and if you dont have it then you don’t need it. I pushed my pride all the way to the side because if I would have asked for help earlier I wouldn’t be where I am now, I’m realizing it’s not a bad thing to ask for help we all need help with something at some point in our lives and it does not make you weak it actually makes you smart. I am seeking $3,500 to pay first months rent security deposit and pay my rent for a few months and so I can get a few pieces of furniture like a bed a couch and table and chairs. I thank you so much for taking your time to read this I am still working on my mental health however I am able to get up and go to work it’s very hard to try to save up what you need living here all shelters aren’t 100% free. I don’t get in in time for dinner so I have to eat out almost every day because we don’t have access to a kitchen here that’s 1 of the many expenses I didn’t expect to have in a shelter. Im not complaining things could be so much worse. I’m thankful that I have a roof over my head but I really need to have my own space so my son can come back and start staying weekends with me.

Thanks again for your time, I’ll keep typing forever! https://paypal.me/keepgetnon?locale.x=en_US

9 Days Left Before I Become Homeless with My Emotionally Disabled Son

Hello,

Thank you in advance for taking the time to hear our story.

I don’t know why it is that everything falls apart at the same time, but it seems the way of things.

10 Months ago while I was working and taking care of things, my husband who had dealt for years with a horrible addiction to pornography had finally lost his job. I was working from home. I have been working remotely for many years because my son is emotionally disabled and requires a caregiver. He has every imaginable acronym. OCD, PTSD, ODD, Bipolar disorder, ADHD. He’s been under psychiatric care and requires medication obviously.

My husband left to go live in a nice little seaside trailer in a retirement community in Florida. I had been working so many hours that I was giving him the money to take care of the bills. All of the time he was hiding it. His family pays literally everything for him. He loves in luxury pretty much completely free. So… why get a job?

Meanwhile, I was here keeping the home. I found after he left that he had left all of the bills to include the 1K rent payment 2 months behind. Both the landlord and myself believed he was looking for work that would be transferrable back home. In November at Thanksgiving, my job terminated all of the American workers and sent the work overseas because they said for every one of us they could have 6 workers and would pay far less doing it this way.

Of course, getting work during the holiday season is near impossible although in trying I did get set for a job to begin on the 15th of January. But if I am evicted, I will have to be out of my home by then.

I need help quickly if I do not want to drag my emotionally ill son into the street in less than two weeks. My husband will not come back here now that there is an eviction soon. At this point, he can stay where he is and I will just have to attempt to get him to pay alimony. Not that I can do that obviously, if I had the money for a lawyer, I would pay my rent.

I cannot approach my landlord with less than 2000.00. I am doing everything in my power NOT to get into the streets because once that happens I’ll never get out. My son is emotionally ill. My credit is poor only because of medical bills I don’t have credit cards. I just want to keep the roof over my head, work 2 jobs and get somewhere.

My home is old but big enough I could likely get a roommate or help another homeless person who may be on disability but just can’t find a place to be, we could all work together for a greater good.

Please help me with this. By the grace of God I can continue to help others as I have all of my life. I was that person, when I was young that would crawl under bridges and give meals to the homeless. I’m trying fund raising so far to no avail. I’ve never asked for help before, but please help me keep my son safe and get back on my feet. I can do it if I have the chance. Thank you for the time you’ve spent here listening to this insanity. Please help me. I’m in Greensboro, NC if you’re close.

I am willing to make this a loan and repay it as soon as possible.

Kindest Regards,

Jacqueline

Help with 1 month’s rent.

Hello,

I know that you must receive thousands of these types of requests, from many people, most who just want a free lunch! This is not the case here, and with full disclosure, I am hoping that the small amount I am asking for would get me back on the other side of the fence.

To begin with, I am not expecting to hear back from anyone or even get any support, but after weeks of anguish, and trying everything from crowdfunding, Facebook groups, and direct emails, I thought, it is time to try here.

Now to really understand how I got myself to this point, asking for support is a long story, a very long story.

I am an Australian, currently 57 years old, with a 5-year-old Colombian child, who decided to visit South America for a 10-week vacation in 2012. After enjoying my initial experience I decided to extend my time and see more of the continent. I ended up in Colombia after visiting many of the countries, where, in 2014, I found out that I was the father of a beautiful little boy, named Ian.

At this point, I had to make a decision, either be part of his life or go back home to Australia and live a good life working in a well-paid industry. I decided to do the responsible thing and stay, thinking it should be easy, boy! was I wrong.

There was no romantic involvement with the mother, I only stayed in Colombia to assist in the upbringing of my son and to give him every chance in life by being bilingual for his future, giving him more opportunities to secure work in Western countries.

Now, most people would think that was a commendable thing to do, and I thought it would not be a problem being the father of a Colombian national, once again wrong. Here in Colombia to gain residency, you needed the mother to sign a document saying that I was diligent in my duties and paying maintenance, which I was, but she simply refused to sign any documents.

Being in Colombia it was impossible to gain any employment whilst being here on a tourist visa, so to keep up with my responsibilities, I started to work online as an English teacher. The next problem was the time allowed to stay in the country, which was 180 days in a calendar year. This started another saga, where I had to flip between Venezuela and Colombia every 3 months.

In June 2015 there was an incident, where unprovoked, the mother violently assaulted me and caused extensive damage to my teeth as well as other injuries, where everything changed.

I was earning $500 US a month from my online teaching and the dental repair was going to cost me 550,000 pesos, roughly $2000 US. On top of paying my rent, food, and maintenance, this was going to take some time to fix. I had the temporary acrylic silicone crowns put on, but never made it, to get the porcelain crowns, anyhow I am not here for that, my need is more into the hardship realm.

Many things have happened since that time period. Being a foreigner, I was always a target for robberies on a regular basis, stealing cell phones and laptops, always costing me more and more, eventually exhausting all the savings that I had.

Whilst my mother was still alive, when I really needed help, she was always there to help me. Sadly, she passed away on the 2nd of April 2017 and I have no other family to ask. The next major problem was the conflict between Venezuela and Colombia where they closed the borders, which in effect, forced me into an illegal alien status, in the wrong country, Venezuela. I had to get my way back into Colombia and try to gain assistance from the Australian embassy, which fell on deaf ears, as they did not assist in family matters regarding my son. Here is the response I received – Andrzej, you will need to talk to Migracion Colombia about work rights and work visas for people in your situation. The Australian Embassy cannot advise on Colombian migration laws and rules.

OK, what next? I tried everything I could, with no outcome in the positive. I was living in Colombia, I had no contact with my son and I was always worried about immigration. The online work was the only thing keeping me alive and living with a hope for change. I have suffered deep depression over that time period, but have kept going, trying to make a change in my life and for the life of my son.

The change did come when the grandfather obtained legal custody of my son, and being a reasonable man wanted to help me with this situation. Not in a financial way, but by giving me the documents needed to gain residency here in Colombia, and spend time with my son. This was a wonderful gesture, but once again I did not have the money to pay for the process. So at this point, I have unfinished dental work needing completion, still living here illegally and currently out of work with no form of income at all.

I am not asking for money for my residential visa, I am not asking for money to fix my teeth, which sadly looks worse due to an accident just before Christmas which knocked out 4 of the silicone crowns, I am asking for assistance to simply pay my upcoming rent in January, due on the 5^th – 2020, to avoid more issues and becoming homeless in a country far away from home.

I have documents (rental agreement, dental receipt, etc) and photos to support my story and am ”begging” for the mere amount of $500 US to pay my rent, pay for my son’s school fees and buy some food. I know that I will have work in the New Year, and I know that I will be back in a manageable situation, and not being in this current position.

So if this falls into the category of financial hardship and there is some way that anyone, someone can do anything to help, it would not only help me, but it will help the spiritual and educational life of a 5-year-old boy.

Yours sincerely,

Andrzej (Andrew) Mula

I am also willing to work for any donations in my field as a Desktop Support Technician or anyone needing help in obtaining their IELTS exam and English lessons, as I am currently a certified TESOL instructor with over 7 years of teaching experience online.

Almost back on my feet

Hello,
I lost my job of almost 11 years in May of 2019. I was able to find employment during the summer, but that ended in early October. Since then I have used my SS income and savings to pay bills, but my savings are almost gone.

The company I worked for during the summer has offered me a position, but it will not start until January 13th. The first paycheck would not be issued until the last week of January.
Before coming to this site to ask for money, I have done odd jobs, sold belongings, pawned belongings and asked family and friends for help.
My rent was due on January 1st, but there is no late charge if it is paid by the 5th (or the next business day if the 5th is on a weekend or holiday). Even with everything I have done to gather enough to pay the rent, I am $237 short of having enough to pay the full amount, and they do not accept partial payments.
I am humbly and respectfully asking for any financial help you can spare so that I can pay my rent. I would be grateful beyond measure.
Thank you, to this site, and to the person reading this.

Almost homeless, in desperate need of help

Hello, my name is Jeralee. I am 20 years old. A little about me is that my life has been hard. My mom died when I was five years old so then I lived with my dad, our two dogs and our fish. I lived with my dad until I was 17 years old. That’s when my whole life changed. You see, my dad had been molesting me for years and I finally had enough. I told the police what was going on and had been going on. I had enough when one night I was in the shower and my dad came in and wouldn’t leave. I ran to my best friends house and told her everything. I then became a ward of the state and was put in a shelter where I spent Thanksgiving. I finally turned 18 years old and was on my own. I never had a place to call my own. I never really had at home. I have courage service for the last couple of years. I am alone. I was pregnant earlier this year but I lost her. This was after I had been told by the doctor that I didn’t have to worry about a miscarriage. I lost her less than eight hours later. So now it’s about to be the new year and my wife hasn’t gotten any easier. My state worker, well, my independent living worker made me move into like a halfway house, leaving behind everything. When I say everything, I mean everything Friends, school, and a great paying job. Now I have nothing and I’m struggling. I’m not gonna lie or sugarcoat anything. My life is falling apart more than ever before. On January 7, 2020 I will be put back on the streets in the middle of winter. No way of paying for shelter. I am currently waiting to hopefully get approved for disability. I have applied for multiple jobs and still have no luck. I know you don’t know me, but I ask for your help. I am someone’s daughter and someone sister and someone’s friend. I am suffering and I need help. I really hate asking for help. I wouldn’t ask for help if there was any other way, so I’m asking for your help. Anything will help. So please, if you could help I would appreciate it more than you will ever know! I believe in miracles, so maybe, just maybe, you can help. The money will go Rent and security deposit along with Food. I hope you have a great day.

My husband an I both have serious medical issues.

I have systemic lupus with stage 5 (there are 6 stages) and my kidney doctor said there isn’t anything we can do, just wait till I get to certain point and have to go on dialysis and kidney transplant. I am receiving social security disability.

My husband has ulcerative colitis and also Khrons disease. He has been off work for nearly 2 months. He is receiving short term disability but they are having issues with sending out checks until his doctor takes her time to get papers issued and we are sitting with bills to pay and no money to pay.

I am at my ends and just don’t know what else to do.

So all I can say is god bless and thank you advance.

Help

Hello everybody im eric i am currently in a situation where i could really use some financial assistance i work seasonally for contractors as a subcontractor this year im running into a problem. I always set myself up at the end of each year to be able to make it through the winter without having to plow snow on call 24/7…
Well, this year a contractor i built a huge retaining wall really screwed me. Let me explain the situation… i price jobs out labor only (using my own tools, amd help) and the contractor supplies all the materials and equipment (skid steer/mini excavator)
Every now and then i get a request to help out with different parts of the projects (planting plants, landscape lighting, or even mulching)
What happened this year is i helped the contractor finish the entire job and he did not pay me any labor on the 3 weeks of extra work… when i submitted the final bill he elected to pay only half and if i didn’t like it then Take him to court, which i would have done but i had bills to pay and so did my help we reviewed one paycheck in 6 weeks and the final one was only half of what we earned …
My number one objective with my craft is to make sure the homeowner gets exactly what they want even if they request changes that makes my job harder knowing i already gave the contractor a set labor price. Customer satisfaction is a must especially since they have to look at it for the next 20-30 years …second i do my best to make life easy for the contractor, i handle everything on site, questions from the home owners mean everything past the selling of the job … soo after paying my help for 3 weeks of extra work that i didn’t get paid for it left me with 84 dollars for me to make it till spring… he said if i didnt like it i could take him to court.. when you havent had a pay day in juat about 4 weeks and the bills are due you kinda have to take what you can especially when another mams livelihood is on your shoulders..
So here i am on call 24/7 waiting to plow snow ….. BUT ITS JUST NOT SNOWING here in northeast ohio , my wife and i have sold all of our valuables just to try to make ends meet,even part time work and side gigs but they arent cutting it and the first of the month is right around the corner when all the bills are due once again. I am asking for anyone to please help us out, ive turned every which way for help bit it seems my options have ran out , im self employed so ite very hard for me to get a loan… i need help now more than ive ever imagined in my life, so if anyone out there has taken the time to read this and has a little extra to go around my family and I would be much appreciative below is a picture of the finished product

Please anything helps
Sincerely eric b

Rent shortfall following husbands ill mental health

For almost two years I supported my husband as he recovered from a severe mental breakdown which peaked in a psychotic episode. The long periods of shifting moods and depression were tough to deal with even with the support of friends, and at times I wasn’t able to work as I often had to be present to ensure his safety at a number of dark moments. The very lowest point came on the eve of my 30th birthday that I spent in Accident and Emergency as his delusions had taken over and he posed an extreme risk to himself and others. Thankfully we were signposted to people who could help, but it all came at a cost, from outgoings on medications to lost work for both of us at certain points.

We have spent the longest time trying to maintain therapy costs and keep up with rent on a single wage.

We are finally at a point where he is well enough to return to work and although I’m immensely proud of how far he has come, the effect on our finances has been severe. We are at a point where we will struggle to make rent over the next few months as we wait for his first pay cheque. In the New Year I have tax bills coming that I haven’t been able to prepare for because of our situation over the last few years but I know that if we can just make the next few months rent of £600 for our one room apartment, we’ll be back in a position to be self sufficient and begin to make sound financial plans going forward.

His health and happiness is so important to me, and I’m desperate to keep him positive as he makes a huge step in returning to work and a better relationship with his family and friends. Any help would go a long way in getting us back to the point where we are looking after ourselves again, and therefore able to get back to social and community projects where we first met, and hopefully put us back in a place to pay it forward.

Desperate for help

I have been working as many hours as I can, and yet I still am getting small paychecks. I’ve been trying to get a better job with better pay but most places require lots of experience that I don’t have yet. The holidays are coming in a week and I have no money to buy a single gift, let alone pay my bills. I also have a dog who is about 15 years old and she has gone blind and deaf because I haven’t had the money to take her to a vet. I can see that she’s in a lot of pain and it’s putting a lot of stress on me. I hate to see her in pain but I don’t want to see her go. I don’t even have the money to put her down even if that was my choice. I want to see another Christmas with her but I also want her to just feel better. She has grown up right next to me, I see her as a sister. I want to help my dog, I want to get my loved ones gifts for Christmas, and I need to pay my bills, most importantly.

I know it sounds like a list of complaints that everyone has but I am truly desperate. I even googled my way to this website. I have been staying up all night for the past two days trying to find ways to make money, legally. It’s been harder than I think. I wish I had more skills that pay well but I am just an average young girl who works and goes to school. My parents can’t afford to help me and I have no other source of money coming in. I have struggled financially all my life, but I am at the point where I’m afraid I’ll lose everything if I don’t get some sort of money to pay my bills. I am really just a young 20 year old girl trying to get by. I need help and absolutely anything helps. I would appreciate the help so much. I hope you find it in your heart to donate. I don’t expect to get much but I am putting the word out everywhere so that I can find SOME help. Thank you so much if you do send some money. I hope the world fills you with lots of joy and peace.

In Need of Money for Rent

Hi, I wish that I didn’t have to result to this but I am seriously stressed out. I am struggling to pay for my rent & other bills. I have only been able to pay for $200 of my rent & tomorrow I will be able to pay $400 of it. In total my rent is about $735, therefore I am missing $135 that has to be paid by the 20th of this month and I don’t get paid until the day after Christmas. I also am unable to pay for certain bills: electricity, internet, & insurance. My internet bill is $65.97 and my insurance bill is $13 (the electricity bill is not viewable yet). I can’t even pay for those bills because I literally have no money. It’s coming to a point where being a broke college student really sucks. I have a job however, it does not pay enough. I am only part time due to school therefore, I only receive about $350 a paycheck every 2 weeks and I am unable to save most of it because I have to take care of myself. I need food, hygiene products and etc. So, it would mean a lot if I were able to receive some help. I am asking for help on here because it seems like I cannot receive any personal loans due to my poor credit. If I had the opportunity I would just take out a loan but I keep getting denied and its really stressful. I don’t want to get evicted from my apartment due to lack of money. I really just need the help. I don’t really care about the bills, those will eventually get paid but I do care about the rent. Its where I lay my head every night and in this very cold weather, I need it. I am only asking for about $200 dollars. I will be able to pay my rent off and be stress free until next month. So, I really hope my post will be seen in time. I will be very grateful for the help that I receive and I pray that I do receive help. I wish I had found it weeks ago because this is very last minute but I really hope that this is seen and I can get some actual financial help. I have attached a screenshot of the amount that I owe now including the $400 that I will pay for tomorrow there for that leaves $134.86 left to pay.

Thank you so much.

Need Help lost job of four years and recently got one this week

The reason I am asking for help is because Christmas is not very far away and I don’t have the funds to give my children anything for Christmas’s this year. It has been a rough year for myself and my family. I lost my job of four years and just got hired late this week at another place of employment finally! I’m happy I finally got hired somewhere however, they pay every 2 weeks which unfortunately means that I won’t even get not even 1 check before Christmas. My husband and I have literally nothing bOught for our children…not one gift! We have four children who by the way are amazing humans! If I have failed at most things throughout my life, I do know that I didn’t fail at my kiddos that’s for sure! Our oldest son is 23, we have another son who graduated high school last year and joined the Airforce! I couldn’t be prouder of him! He graduated Bootcamp, then graduated his schooling and is now stationed here in the US for a good little while. He got to come home after his schooling he purchased his very first car and then drive to his base. This will be the first year that our son hasn’t been with us on Christmas. But he is doing amazing! We have our 3rd son and he is set to graduate high school next May. Then we have our baby girl who isn’t a baby anymore…She is 15 and has the biggest heart I know! Anyway, our rent alone is 750.00 every month we have been living pay check to paycheck and it’s only been off of my husbands income for a while now and we are now behind on our rent and it’s gonna be due again in a couple weeks, our $300 electric bill is due our cable bill is due and it is shut off so it’s been boring around this place with no WiFi internet and no tv. It’s crazy. We recently did get a different vehicle but it’s financed and it’s older our temp tags were up yesterday we owe $200 personal property taxe which has to be paid before we can even get plates on our vehicle. I wish we wouldn’t have gotten it because it’s already making noises!!! Just all around sucks I have never in my life not been able to provide my children with whatever they asked for for Christmas ever! Our kids are really good kids they really don’t even ever ask for anything because they know the struggle and our situation. I just want our kids to be smiling from ear to ear on Christmas morning and not sad or disappointed either. I literally feel like I have failed and I am just defeated at the moment. We have money for nothing. No savings nothing. Any amount would help with catching all of our bills up along with providing our children with a great Christmas that they would actually want to remember.

Urgent Help Needed

Hello,

I’m not used to asking for things, but I am really desperate at this point in my life and honestly I’m not even sure how to go about this.

I’ve lost my grandmother and then my job due to traveling and the depression that I have been so desperately trying to escape and now I’m about to lose my house and my car. I’ve found a job, but I wont be able to travel to it before they take my car away which is why I am seeking help before I end up on a corner begging or a shelter or anywhere unsafe really. I work hard and I am willing to work for this extra money. I aim to do 3 random acts of kindness a day and some days I don’t meet 3, but always 1 a day for sure. I volunteer when I can, I donate my hair 9-12 inches of my hair every other year and I strive to help others daily. I’m a good person, but I’m in a rut. I’m a very honest person and I don’t really have much to offer; I own 3 totes of sentiments and that’s pretty much about it, so selling my items won’t get me much as they are nothing of value to any pawn shop or local market, but I would appreciate the ability to repay any amounts donated to me as soon as I am financially able again. I can offer tutoring services via skype for a few subjects. I had to let go of the toxic things and people in my life so I don’t exactly have friends; I wasn’t blessed into a good family and I am unsure what to do at this point. I do not want to end up on the streets, they would eat me alive and I’d probably freeze to death. I’m just trying to avoid having my life go completely down when I know better days are to come. Seeking help wherever I can get it and I am truly thankful for your time in reading this or even spreading the word.

I would love to thank anyone who donates and if you can send me an address or a paypal or cashapp link I would happily repay you when I am able. I really really appreciate it.

It’s a bad day not a bad life, the sun will rise again and we receive a new beginning.

(Financial) Crisis for me and my girlfriend in our Lives (No repeat, just correction)

I am sorry as you may be seeing this story once more, but due to lack of knowledge of the usage of this website, i didn’t add my paypal info on it properly.. so i still have to put this up again, as i am in need of great assistance from anyone, literally anyone i can reach out to. Please forgive me cause of this inconvenience, and read my story. i need your help…

Me (23 y.) and my girlfriend (24 y.) are having the hardest time in our lives right now.. Through abuse in both of our families, mental and physical, as well as the fact that we didn’t share the traditional thinking as they had, we have lost full connection to our own families/relatives and were left on our own without places to stay. We managed on our own for some time but soon enough it went all downhill for many different reasons. Going into the everyday struggle unexpectedly and so unprepared,plus all the expenses for surviving and apart from that was added the bad state of our mental state through all of this is too much for us… After all that happened, Currently, we are living in the lowest priced house that we could have rent at the moment. Apart from the rent our jobs aren’t even close for it to be enough for us to afford the basic living.. We are cutting out much of our food that we need (it’s not about wanting anymore), and we had to take a loan for some payments as some unexpected expenses came out from nowhere…

As i have said, we are currently working for relatively one of the lowest paid jobs and it is nowhere enough for what we need right now…i am currently looking for higher paid jobs (as a second choice) and am willing (and have already started) to do everything that i can in order to not to be in this situation in the future, but there will be no future for me or my girlfriend like this because i can’t pay my bills, loan (of 200$) and can’t even place the food for u on our plates….

And Now with my loan, the bill and the pay for the rent are all coming up together, plus some the trauma that we have experienced mentally (even tho i am trying everything) i can’t come out of this situation.. i just can’t, no matter what i think of and whatever i do it’s hopeless. And all of this is effecting me in such a deep level that i don’t know if i can maintain my current job like this. i don’t know what to do, i am desperate, helpless, and am starting to have some mental breakdowns throughout the day thinking about all of these.. I just don’t know what to do. I have come here, to you, to ask to at least maintain anything that i have left… I am ashamed of my situation that i have ended up like this and that i have to ask for this…and every time i come “home”, i can’t even look in my girlfriends eyes anymore.. I don’t know how to tell her that i have nothing that i can solve this situation with and it makes me feel so much shame, as she is relying on me as well (even tho she’s trying everything for us to come out of this, and it hurts me to know that she’s feeling the same way)..

We asked everyone we knew (we could ask) for help and even tho we don’t have many friends some of them really helped us through with whatever they could as they knew our current situation but they cannot help us any further…

Thank you if you read my story, and sorry if it was in any way confusing.. I just don’t want to be in this situation anymore, am tired of finding the solutions to the impossible so i am asking for your help, and if you can help us in any way, please help, we would be forever grateful to you…I am tearing up writing this, as i have never expected to be asking help from people i don’t know. I don’t want to even ask for anything more then for the amount, that can cover for at least this month’s expenses, that i cannot possibly handle,which is the main reason i have come here… if you can help us in any way possible, i will be eternally thankful, for each and every one of you, for aiding me in this difficult time that i am in…

Looking for desperate help with Bill’s, rent and debt

Hi All

I am currently reaching out to any who will can listen to my plea.

I was currently working and earning a decent salary. Due to this I decided to leave the family home and move out into the world. It is almost impossible to buy in London but by a miracle I managed to rent somewhere for me and my new partner. During my employment I was always up to date on my Bill’s and such and took out a few loans which allowed me to pay for my wedding as well as furnish the property (nothing extravagant but make the house a home but was unable to finish) as soon as I started the process I was made redundant by my company after they took a contract they couldnt handle and ended up making them go bankrupt. I was one of the first to go which was a massive blow as I had payments to uphold. Due to the nature of the industry, the time of year and most importantly my age (early 20s) it was near enough impossible for me to find new employment as I was deemed too young to be in a certain position regardless of how far I had made in the company I was previously employed to. Due to this I was off work for nearly 2 months and fell behind on almost all my Bill’s, rent and loan payment putting me into quite substantial debt. I then managed to find a company who I thank them dearly for giving me a chance and a temporary contract which lasted till a few months ago. During this time I was happily earning and playing catch up bit the wage wasn’t enough to keep up and I was still falling behind and the loans taken out have substantial apr% which i didnt realise was that bad. I’ve tried everything. And have been doing everything I can in order to get back on track. My current debt is around 20k but my main issue is the rent which is around 3k in arrears and soon to be 4k approx as I have been out of work the last few months and started to fall behind again. I am looking to start a new contract In jan but again womt be the amount to fully control everything. I thank the people who I rent from as they are very helpful in my situation and been trying to help.

All i want is to get out of debt and start again fresh and do things right. I have always been good with my money but this was just too much for me to handle and I’m now drowning slowly more and more into debt. I still however smile as I always believe in everything happens for a reason.

I thank you all for listening to my please regardless of a donation as I still always believe there is some good in the world left and that always keeps me going.

I need help with Rent, Scammed out of $10,000 of Credit [URGENT]

I’m in desperate need of money. 2018-2019 has not been so kind to me, where I have been kicked out of two living situations… (kicked out of my parents’ house when they moved to Utah, kicked out of my brother’s house where I was paying $400 to sleep on his couch, moved out of a place where I was renting a room from a lady on section 8 where she had 4 dogs, 4 cats, 4 kittens, and 2 birds in a two-bedroom apartment, to moving into a nice student living apartment), where I have six roommates, I have my private bed/bath, and rent/utilities/parking/internet all cost $650 every month.

In 2018 I worked at Panera, but the management there was horrible… when I mean horrible, I mean that there was high turnover and ticket times averaged 30 minutes when they should be no greater than 5 minutes. For my own sanity, I left, and I had a lot of money saved up. I was living with my parents at the time. Then, after quitting, my father decided to suddenly retire from teaching when we agreed he would retire once I finished my bachelor’s degree. So I spent the majority of my summer trying to help my parents sell their house and find a job. When I couldn’t find a job, I was left with no choice but to move in with my brother who knew I wasn’t making any money and charged me $400 to sleep on his couch. His house did not have internet either, so I would have to use my savings to pay him rent and pay gas to go to the library to use the internet to apply for jobs and go to interviews. I finally got a job in January 2019. However, in March 2019, my brother decided to kick me out of the house for turning on the heater when it was legitimately *29 degrees Fahrenheit* inside the house. So, I had to find a cheap place to live, which ended up being the lady who was hoarding animals on section 8… Unfortunately, I did not know she had these animals or is on section 8 until after a month living there. Now we’re in April 2019 and I’m severely depressed from the move. I had to up my antidepressants because I could barely force myself to work or go to school. I had asked my manager if it was okay to take a few days off work due to some health issues and he said it was fine. I came back next week and find out at the end of the shift that I had been fired from the temporary position due to too many absences. At this point, it’s too late to find another job because I was visiting my parents in Utah for a month in July… so I ended up selling and donating half of my possessions to earn money to pay rent and bills. While I was gone on my trip in July, I came home to my possessions missing and stolen from my bathroom, my rugs pissed and pooped on, my doorknob missing, kid shirts in my hamper, and two holes in my rented room. I talked to my roommate and she claimed to know nothing (however, she has keys to my bedroom and bathroom). Luckily, I was moving to the Palazzo in July, so I had to wait until the student loans kicked in. Unfortunately, I had a lot of car issues that needed to be dealt with (brake pads, transmission fluids, etc) that cost me several thousand dollars… I got that paid off… and I bought the things I needed to replace the stuff I needed for my apartment… but now I have no money and was relying on credit cards. I was doing Lyft as a driver since October, but I have been a victim of sexual abuse through Lyft and I try to avoid using it as much as possible.

Most recently, however, I’ve been a victim of a credit card scammer, where he made fraudulent purchases and payments on my cards. The worse part is that two out of three of my cards have been doubled the charge (Chase, Target) and the Target one has been officially closed and cannot be reopened for a few years.

I’d appreciate at least $650-$1,000 of financial assistance to help me this month so I can continue living where I am. The credit cards will eventually be paid off, but if someone is kind enough to donate, I’d appreciate it.

I need help with rent

Basically, I need someone to loan me money — about $1000, but $1100 or $1200 would make me feel secure — for rent. I had to pay $5000 in vet and car bills recently because my chihuahua broke his leg and my car broke down while I was on a gig. I’m a freelance musician who performs and teaches actively, but I’m behind on rent for the month because I haven’t been able to dig my way out of the impact of those emergency costs yet. I can actually repay in full (with interest) on Jan. 10, but I need money before then. Please reach out if you have any questions! I’ve attached a photo of my dog to show that he exists and is real.

Fired over complaining about a safety issue

Hello. Asking for help has never been a strong point for me. I usually struggle through till things get better. I am having a really hard time with that right now.

On October 25(my birthday) I was fired from my job. Have been looking. Nothing has come up yet though, things are about to get tight. A big part of me wants to change fields though and get involved in some thing new. I’m finding it a bit over welming.

Back story is this. On Oct 25 2019 I was sent to load and tarp. No problem I do it all the time. This particular place has no safety gear for traping so normally I just climb my load even though it’s unsafe and also not legal by wcb rules. The mill should provide safety gear for such loads.

This day it was extremely wind I did as normal and climbed up rolled out my tarps. As I did so a gust of wind picked up which ripped the tarp from under my feet causing me to loose my balance and almost knocking me off my load. I upset at the situation went to the office and stated Making people tarp there load with out safety gear and In Such wind is against wcb rules and I should not be tarping with out gear. I also stated one day someone’s going to fall and they will have a big wcd claim and could possibly be sued. They didn’t like that and proceeded to call my office. After which they sent me to a barn. The roof of the barn was at most 3 feet above my load. And was told to tarp in there. Sure was out of the wind but now I had to still scale my load to get up and crawl to tarp my load. Instead of saying anything I bit my tounge and did the job. Only to be fired after going back to the office. With my boss saying I had no right to talk and complain to the mill. I received employment insurance for a month. But seems it’s ended and I must reapply. Not sure I’ll get it I have 2 kids and have 0 money coming in. I’ve been a driver for 14 years. It’s really all I know, I want a change though.

I feel run down depressed and and useless right now. Winter has come and in all honesty part of me is afraid to get back out there. I have had a few accident one that was my fault where I almost lost my life when the truck hydro-planed over a cliff into a lake.

I’m sure if something driving wise came up I’d take it even though it’s not what I want to do with mylife anymore. Thing is with 0 money coming in I know I can’t be picky. If anyone is able to help me out while I figure things out so I don’t end up homeless and so far behind on bills that I can’t catch up that would be amazing.

Thanks for Taking the time to view this.

Surgery cost me my job

First of all I’d like to thank you for taking the time to click on this and read up to this sentence.

I recently had an inflamed appendix which burst resulting in me being blue lighted into Swindon hospital and needing an emergency appendectomy unfortunately for me this was during my 3 month probation period at my new job. After the surgery was finished and I could go home I was told to rest and had a doctors note for work which was given in and I kept my managers updated via text. I unfortunately got an internal infection which prolonged recovery and made me very ill, the doctors were concerned I could develop the deadly sepsis but luckily for me I didn’t.

once I was due back to work I turned up early and I was called into a meeting where I was told due to my extended recovery time (even covered with sicknote) was too long for them to keep me employed. I have rent, bills, a dog, no transport and no income.

at the moment I’m applying to every single job I can find but this time of year isn’t the best time for jobs. Please help me, I would Be so so grateful, I’ve tried everything from family and friends, to applying for loans and credit cards to try and get myself out of this mess but it just isn’t happening.

thank you for reading this far and I hope you have a wonderful Christmas.

My husband was laid off.. need help paying rent and bills this month.

Hello,

This is my first time on this website. I don’t know if this site is legit and I have never done this before but I am going to give it a try. This is your traditional common tale of two hardworking people that lost a bit of luck and could use a little help. I am married with two kids. A 5 and 8 year old. My husband and I both work full time jobs. Unfortunately my husband was laid off a few weeks ago, he is the bread winner. Most of my paychecks pay for our health insurance. I cannot get qualified for a loan nor do we have family that can help us financially. My husband did get another job but unfortunately he does not start ’til after the first of the year. We do need to pay our rent as well as our electricity bill. It has been a struggle just in time for the holidays ;) I am not asking money for presents or anything not necessary. My kids will understand. Being able to stay in our home would be the greatest gift in itself. We just need some help this month until we can get back on our feet. Trying to raise $2,500.00. Anything spared is greatly appreciated and helps.

Help Keeping A Roof Over Our Heads

Hello, if you are reading this, I want to say thank you for making time to visit my post.

My name is Jocelynn, and I am a mom to 6 beautiful children. My husband and I have always been able to provide for our little ones but this year has been a bit of a struggle for us. My husband was in a terrible accident at his job in 2015 that caused severe damage to his right arm (his dominant hand). He was in the hospital for about a month and since then has been on several medications and attends therapy once a week. He also has several restrictions as to what he can and can’t do.

We hired an attorney a few months after his injury because he was having trouble getting the workman’s comp insurance to cover his medicine and the company was not following his doctors orders. But, ever since we decide to make that choice, the company he was working for was doing everything they could to get him to quit. My husband isn’t the type to leave a job so he stuck around but in October of this year, the company decided to let him go and he has not been able to find an employer who is willing to work with him leaving to all his doctors appointments and therapy’s. I dont blame the companies for not wanting to hire him but that has put a serious burden on our financial situation.

I am currently the only one working and while I work full time, I am unable to make enough money to cover our rent and bills. I am now drowning in debt because I’ve had to get loans out just to cover for the money I am short.

I am now all out of resources to use and will not have money to cover the rent for the next few months and dont want to leave my children homeless so I come to you all today, asking that you open your hearts to my family and I so that we may continue to keep a roof over our heads. We currently reside in Idaho and temperatures are low, so staying in our van is our last resort.

I am in need of rental assistance for the Months of December, January, February, and March and plan on paying a full years rent with my income tax.

Please, if you can donate, it would mean the world to my family and I. We are currently needing $4,800 to cover the cost of rent for the next four months. Anything helps. Thank you in advance and God bless.

Help The Houck Family Fight H.S. !

Hello there:

My name is Sydney. I’m a wife, and a mother, heading up a small family of four that cannot seem to escape the crisis in which we find ourselves.

I have a treatable, but not curable genetic, autoinflammatory condition called Hidradenitis Suppurativa (Stage 3). You can research it, but in simple terms, it’s a condition that causes large, non-healing abscesses and lesions across all parts of the body that houses apocrine sweat glands (under arms, over thighs, genitals, buttocks, etc).

To say that this condition isn’t a pleasure to live with would be the understatement of the year. Every day is spent in a constant agony that I cannot begin to describe, and because of the extremely painful nature of H.S., I cannot work, or properly care for my young children, (ages 1 and 2).

As my existence is essentially one of total physical uselessness, all of the responsibility of care for myself and the children falls to my beautiful wife, Stephanie, who is currently going through transition from male to female (she was the children’s biological father, and is now the lovelier of their mothers). Because I cannot physically care for myself or our children, she is unable to find employment that will properly provide for us, because our combined care consumes her every moment.

I am currently undergoing treatment that should, in time, render me more able to at least make myself useful around the house, and a better part of our children’s care. That said, recovery and management is an incredibly long road ahead of us, and therefore, we need help to make ends meet with our living expenses, which run around $2,100 per month.

Up until now, we’ve been relying on my meager earnings as a 3D Animator (the only real work that I’m capable of doing, as it only requires me to use a computer from home), and assistance from family. This situation is putting an incredible strain on those relationships, and we fear that by the time our situation finally straightens out, we will have damaged all associations we have beyond repair.

We’d like our children to be able to grow up having those relationships intact, and thus, we are fundraising to help keep us afloat until we can find our way back out of the woods.

We are perfectly happy to provide any and all documentation of our situation, our bills, and my condition should it be required for acquiring any sort of assistance we may receive.

If you’ve made it this far, thank you so much for reading our story, and thank you in advance for any help you may be able to provide, or even for sharing our story with your friends.

Much Love,

The Houck Family

Life is harder than usual right now

Life was great about a year ago, things seem to have crumbled quite a bit by now. I guess ill start with the most recent occurrence, that being my loyal companion of almost 17 years, leche, disappearing about a month and 1/2 ago. Im 25 so hes been around most of my life. Hes an inside/outside cat and never strayed far at all, I suspect it has something to do with my neighbors big ass dogs that I saw off leash the morning he didn’t scratch on the door. I didn’t even know they had dogs. Nonetheless hes gone now. I put posters up all around town. I looked everywhere. He was a legendary cat. And my best friend.

I had been going to school for aviation around the same time he disappeared, had everything set up, financial aid, and reliable transportation. Until it wasn’t of course. Spokane community college is a decent way away from where I live and when my car started having issues was about the time when leche went missing. Long story short, I dropped the classes cause I couldn’t get to school. Although now my car is running decent again thankfully, its crunch time. I had been taking odd jobs here and there and going to Seattle to make a decent wage for a couple months at a time but a lot of those opportunities went sour. I had had very stable work in the past before getting “fired” earlier this year. It was really a combination of me losing motivation and not getting a fair wage after all of the improvement and progress I had made. Just a shame really. I guess that’s why they say don’t work for family.

But yeah, Ive been living on my own for quite some time now and have been able to sustain myself and have a decent living up until now. Where my rent is due in 8 days, been applying for jobs left and right. Going in, giving resumes etc… The worst part is that the lease is in my mothers name. Ive tapped out all of my resources, been borrowing money to pay the last couple months rent and now I’m in debt. I will probably get a job interview in the coming weeks but It just wont be soon enough. My rent is 750. If I could just get enough money to get by for another month or two, and maybe enough to cover my debt, I think I can pull out of this for the most part.
