My name is Nick I am 21 and am going through a really tough time. I went down to Florida with family on June 9th, was set to return to NYC on the 15th but instead I woke up at 5 am and had a seizure in the bathroom. I was found by my grandmother and taken to the hospital in a ambulance. I had 2 more seizures in the hospital where the doctors decided to put me to sleep, I was put to sleep for 7 days. I woke up in the hospital trying to rip out the tube from my throats not knowing what was happening but just seeing my mother, brother and grandmother. I calmed down a bit and was told what happened to me, so after that I was also told I was going to be in the hospital another week at least since I didn’t know how to walk and also I couldn’t eat or breathe on my own I was discharged after 2 weeks and not cleared to fly so my mother had to rent a car for us to drive up to NYC clearly I couldn’t drive so she had to do it alone, took us 3 days. I had a really sharp chest pain and went to the emergency room in NYC mt sinai hospital where I was once again admitted into the hospital for another week. I was tested beyond belief and here are my diagnoses.
I was diagnosed with meningitis upon arrival to the Florida hospital (Cleveland Clinic, Weston, FL), then that was ruled out and upon discharge was told I had limbic encephalitis.

At the NYC hospital I was found to have a blood clot (dvt) in my right leg that seems to have went up to my lung, and also liquid was found around my Lungs and heart. So after many tests I was diagnosed with lupus.

Here is where I need help. I am 21 was working and perfectly healthy 2 months ago and what drove me to get out the hospital and pray every day was that I have a child on the way with my beautiful girlfriend. I was working full time as a driver and in NYC after having seizures especially 3 in 1 day they don’t allow you to drive for a year. So I am now almost 2 months behind on rent and am waiting to be approved for social security disability benefits. I have all medical records if anyone needs proof. I was the one supporting my girlfriend and her current child along with the baby on the way I paid all the bills at just 21 years of age I was doing pretty good for myself now I need help. Please if anyone has a heart to help me feel free to contact me. I am a man of caring for people and I have given strangers my last dollar in my pocket before. I need help, I owe over $2,300 in rent and with a baby on the way life is just getting harder. I don’t sleep at night and am depressed constantly crying alone and not knowing why my life took such a drastic turn out of nowhere. God bless everyone and thank you.

I urgently need £500 pounds to pay the rent. I was recently sacked from my job and was suspended for two months previous to that for standing up to the management for being homophobic. The situation left me stressed and anxious and I have subsequently been diagnosed as suffering from clinical depression.

During the two months that I was suspended I received no money as I just simply had all my hours removed from the rota. I borrowed money to survive during this period from family and friends, but feel too ashamed to ask them for anymore as I know they gave me all that they could. If I do not pay the rent for this month I will find myself homeless and have never felt so scared and desperate. I feel suicidal often.

If I can pay the rent this month I will receive help paying the rent from the council next month, which will help me get back to living a ‘normal’ life where I can search for work properly and feel like a worthwile human being again.

I appreciate how hard people are working for their money, and how difficult times are at the moment. Therefore any contribution would be received very gratefully, and it would be humbling to know that there are kind and compassionate strangers in this world.

If I get through this low point in my life, I will dedicate the rest of it to helping those in similar difficulties, both financially and through my deeds and actions.

Yours faithfully,

James.

I am a 19 year old full time college student and I have come into a hard time for being able to pay my rent and really need assistance. I am not the type of person to ever want to ask for help unless it is an actual emergency or I have no other options.  So here it goes.  I am behind on my rent as I had an unexpected medical emergency I had to pay for upfront and it drained what I had. I am in need of $2000 to catch up on what I am missing so I can keep my apartment. I have received an eviction notice and am fighting with everything left in me to make ends meet to pay this. I have even sacrificed eating for the last month and lost a lot of weight in an attempt to get money to pay it off.  Nothing has been working and I am starting to fear the worst. I do work but I have to live paycheck to paycheck just to make sure I can pay my utility bills .  I will admit I was homeless back in January of this year because I had a medical issue come up unexpectedly that took me out of work and made me unable to work so I had lost my job and it took a while for me to be able to find a new job that was willing to work with me being slower and in pain. When I found my new job I ended up losing it as well because I had a guy grab me while I was walking at night a few months ago and I ended up breaking my hand and the place I worked would not work with me even though the only restriction I had was not being able to do heavy lifting. I found a new job which I absolutely love but in the time it took me to find the job I have gotten so far behind on rent that I am in a position where I am scrambling to make ends meet. Once I  have this settled I will be able to handle the rest of the time on my own but I just need the boost to catch up on the late rent and save everything I  have worked so hard to get.  And I want to say thank you in advance to anyone who can help me.

I recently moved to Long Beach to pursue my degree in Marine Biology. After breaking up with my boyfriend of 4 years I was forced to move out and start a life on my own. I was pushed into a living situation where I live on a futon in a living room and barely being able to feed myself. I have lost 20 lbs since moving out and have been suffering from anxiety because I barely have enough money to pay for rent. I am now in debt because I have had to resort to student loans in order to pay for rent, books, and food. My major is a high unit major and therefore it is very difficult for me to find a job that will work with my school schedule so I have began working for Postmates, but with gas expenses I am barely breaking even. My parents are both ill, my dad having Chron’s disease and my stepmom having MS, so they are completely financially burdened and unable to help me financially. I trying to just raise enough money to get myself back on my feet, at least for this month until I can find a more stable job. I have severe anxiety attacks about not having enough money to make it through school and am living 6 hours away from my parents and need money to move out of the terrible living situation I am in now. Being a female living with 3 other men (there was nothing else available on such short notice) makes me feel unsafe and uncomfortable. I have no privacy, my room is right next to the kitchen where there is constant activity and I can barely study because there is no break from noises. I am not usually one to ask for money but I am afraid of no longer being able to afford my rent, food, and gas.

Greetings,

My name is Brandi. I am the mother of 2 children ages 17 and 11. They are both great children and my 17 year even wants to try to get a job to help out. But I need her to focus on school and studies as she will be the first in the family to go to college.

We recently fell on hardship due to helping out a friend. One day my friend calls me and she is crying. She says that her family is in danger of being homeless because her husband left her, she lost her job and her son was in legal trouble which means she no longer was able to collect his SSI check since he was incarcerated. She has her 3 grand children, which are my God-children and her youngest daughter is also 17. I was going to renew my lease as it was coming to an end for the year, but I felt deep in my heart that I am here to help my friend. My place wasn’t big enough to have that many people living there but her house was big enough for me and my family to move in. So, we moved in to her home and made the agreement that I will help out until she gets back on her feet. I have done this before with another friend and I thought this would be no different. Well, I was wrong. I decided to help my friend in February 2017. My agreement to just help out turned into me taking over all bills while my friend went through her depression. I have a job and I even had to get a part time driving job to make ends meet. But it was not enough to take care of 2 families on one income. I tried to talk to my friend and encourage her to find work. I understand depression all to well so I encouraged but I did not force or threaten. These attempts of encouragement just turned to uncomfortable environments for everyone. My friend has succeeded in sucking my savings dry and we are now living on fumes. My friend decided that she did not want to deal with us anymore and left us high and dry as soon as she was able to get her son’s SSI checks again. He was released in April. June 1 is when my friend took her family and left.

I was going to try to stay here until the lease ended in November and try to save some money. I thought about renting a room out but I do not feel comfortable with strangers around my children. Although I never stopped working, I just cannot afford all of these bills alone. July is approaching quickly and I am afraid we are facing eviction due to the electricity and food bill increase since schools been out. I still have my car note to pay and Insurance. This rent is 1120 and all utilities paid by me. Monthly total for house is approximately 1980.00. I would be able to pay but I have to pay for Medical Insurance now therefor I only bring home 1667.22 a month. I do not qualify for any type of assistance because they think i make to much money. I do not want to keep this house. We just need help with a security deposit and first month. I can take care of Insurance, car note, moving expenses and food.

How did I get here? I only wanted to help a friend, my best friend. But instead I lost my friend and my stability as well.

My parents raised me to always earn my keep. I am willing to work for any assistance given if you are in the Phoenix, AZ area. I can house clean, babysit, do errands on Monday Tuesday and Wednesdays (these are my days off). Please Help Us. We will greatly appreciate it!

Thanks for reading.

My name is Sarrah Chang and I am married to a loving husband of 10 years. We are both veterans of the Army and we meet in Texas. I currently work as a claims examiner and my husband works at a pawnshop running the eBay store.  We started running into trouble the end of last month when we had a roommate who we had to ask to leave. He never paid for food or any utilities. The only thing he did pay was his little portion of the rent. Enter into June and we had a major blow when my husband’s VA school money did not come. We had been working to pay down our debt and had set up a payment in order to satisfy it.  When the school money didn’t come it didn’t stop the bills and the debt payment from coming out. This lead to too many overdraft fees and some returned item fees.

We have tried to handle it ourselves, have been turned down for a loan, took most of our major electronics to the pawn shop in order to catch up, however, we are still far behind. When we figured we were not going to be able to do this on our own we went to different VA sources but all have turned us down due to the fact we make more than they allow to qualify for the help. We then turned to local and other nonprofits and have gotten the same answer. I have researched and dug to see what I can do. I have applied and been accepted for a part time job working weekends and evenings during weekday but that will not start till the second week of July and by then we would have lost the roof over our head.

There are many people out there that are in a worse position than we are, we are just asking for a little help to catch up. Our belief is paying kindness forward and we hope that once we have caught up we can help others out there that are in the same position. Currently we are looking to catch up on our rent and maybe get a little ahead so we can catch up on our other bills that are behind (such as cellphone that got turned off yesterday). Any help that you feel to bless us with will be one step closer to our end goal of $848.

Hello, my name is Angelica and I’m an 18 year old art student based in London. I’m currently feeling very scared, hopeless and trapped and I just don’t know who to turn to.

It’s a long complicated story, but first I’ll tell you a bit about my background. I grew up in a council flat in Essex, with my loving sister and mother. At age 5 I was hit by a car and put into a wheelchair for a year. After getting out of the wheelchair I struggled to make friends and found socialising more and more difficult. When I became more shy and timid, I started to get bullied, this dragged on from a change of primary schools and then onto secondary school. The bullying continued and I became more and more anxious. I started refusing to, making myself sick and isolating myself. Over the years, I developed multiple mental disorders and eating disorders. The main diagnosis was Body Dysmorphic Disorder, causing me to believe that I was so ugly that people wanted to kill me. I had constant suicidal thoughts and after several suicide attempts ended up being admitted to a psychiatric ward for 9 months.

After I was discharged, I improved quite a lot. I started going to college in Essex, but after two weeks my mental health had quickly started to deteriorate. I refused to go again and was back to feeling hopeless, that I didn’t have a future.

I started speaking to a boy from London, a friend of a friend, and soon we became a couple. I visited his house a few times and noticed how much better I felt just to be out of Essex, leaving behind how I’d felt growing up. I ended up living with my boyfriend (24) and his parents. It started off well when they were rescuing me. I’ve been here for over a year and a half now and the atmosphere has changed. Although I have gained confidence and have finally found a school environment where I have friends, I’m doing well (recently got a distinction for my final project) and I’m happy, my home life is making me miserable.

As I don’t pay rent, my time is no longer my own. When I needed more time to do my artwork (which I worked very hard on) and for the first time told them I couldn’t make dinner, it turned into a heated argument, (one that I can never win)  and was told that “It’s about compromise” when saying that I needed more time to focus on my studies. I know that they no longer want me here as I have been called a “financial burden” and told that I never do anything in this house when it is really the exact opposite. It’s quite hard to explain, but even when things are fine the atmosphere is constantly tense, I constantly feel like I’m doing something wrong. I feel scared to be seen in the house like nothing I ever do is good enough and just ashamed of existing and being here in their company.

Anytime that I try to confront them about how I feel, it’s completely dismissed and they see me as ungrateful and badly behaved.

My mum is in trouble with her local council as they received information that I’m no longer living with her. I do go down to see her as much as I can, but as she and both I have very little money it can be very difficult to make it down.

I want to become a stripper just so that I can have enough to finally feel stable and comfortable in my own home, but they overheard and it has been forbidden. Trapping me, with nowhere to go and another year of college which I really would like to attend.

I work, but as my mum can’t help me much with money it constantly runs out, I get down to 0.00 pretty much on a weekly basis. I’m not moving forward.

I’m feeling so scared, depressed and hopeless. My issue isn’t the worst in the world but I’m feeling so desperately miserable that I just feel that I need to get some help.

I just need enough money to pay for a London flat deposit and the first month of rent, but to also have enough to help my mum out as well. £6000 would cover everything, but of course anything will be of great help.

I would be happy to pay back any money that I was given in time.

I’m so so scared, and if anyone could help me I would be so immensely grateful and it would make a humongous difference in my life and my happiness, to finally feel free of fear.

I really just don’t feel that I can go on feeling like this.

If you’ve read this far, then thank you so much. Again, I will try to pay you back if you’d like.

Thank you

I am a man who believes in helping those in need myself so for me to have to ask for help like this and be in this situation is soul shaking. I am a 30 year old single hard working guy with no kids which is a good thing in this case otherwise this situation would be even harder. Last month in May I was let go from my job with a temp agency under a assignment with Clarkson Eyecare out of the blue. When i took the job I had no idea how long the assignment would last and neither did the temp agency but it was the only job offer i got at the time and i needed it. I took the job and was able to learn the right way to handle their billing procedures and call handling. I did the best I could to show up everyday on time and follow the rules.  As we find out in life sometimes its not enough and it wasnt. They let me go when the assignment ended like that I was caught off guard. I got a phone call that Tuesday from the temp agency giving me the news that they decided not to hire me permanently. I was crushed and I suddenly faced a huge challenge that I wasnt sure how I would handle. Every since that day I have been trying to hold it together and remain positive. I know it could be worse in fact the first concern I had was losing my place. This is actually my first apartment and I worked, saved and planned tirelessly to get this place.  Now I have never been in this situation before so the first thing I was thinking is I’m gonna lose my place I’m not gonna have a place to live . So I contacted the leasing office and they told me that they will work with me as long as i communicate with them continuously, because originally they gave me to the end of May to get the payment in for rent I figured hey I would just save up and pay rent because I was getting paid weekly by the temp agency before i lost that job.  Now I am faced with a even bigger problem I have no income rent will be due and my car note is due and there is no one to help me.  I started  contacting local churches to see if they would be able to help me with rent I live in an area that has only a couple of churches and organizations that can help me like the Salvation Army, Saint Joachim and Ann, Calvary and Church.  These organizations are out of  donations for the moment . All their funding has been placed on hold and it’s now June and I have interviews coming up next week for Jobs starting in July.  I have tried my best to find a job that starts this month but, it hasn’t worked out I now face large court fees and late fees to the leasing office for late being deliquent with rent and I am barely holding on to my sanity . It feels like im never getting out of this situation. I’m trying to stay positive but I really need help if you can donate out of the kindness of your heart I am sure God will bless you. I have included proof and the amounts i owe so you can see for yourself. God bless you and please pray for me to get a job next month even if you cant help thank you.

Unfortunately I was left in a really rough situation recently. Both of my roommates left me without notice. One roommate left to go live with her boyfriend and gave no notice. She also left me with an Xcel bill of $262.00 that she hadn’t paid since we first moved in. The second roommate left because he wanted his girlfriend to move in and she wasn’t able to get on the lease because she was a felon. I also didn’t know this female at all and felt uncomfortable with her moving in. Both roommates left earlier this week and didn’t tell me anything. I came home from being with family to find my T.V. gone and a note saying they left. the apartment is empty. I am currently trying to find new roommates but the majority of people I have contacted are looking to move in mid month July. The $1,308 only covers base rent and doesn’t include my utilities or the Xcel bill and with that I can only assume it will be rounded closer to $1,800.  All I can do is to ask help at this point. I’ve been saving as much money as I can but at the moment all I have is $400 and I don’t see myself getting all the money by 7/3. Anything you give helps me a ton and I am going to keep working my butt off to get more money as well! Anything that I don’t use I will give back to another cause on here. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this!

Hello,

Let me properly introduce myself. I am a young female who moved to Brazil to teach English, stay with my fiance, and to visit some family. I am currently on this website to help pay off light, rent, and water bills, and to help pay for food. I want to put myself as well as my fiance back on the financial track. My fiance also received the news that he might have a different form of  gynecomastia, and to relieve the painful lumps under his breasts, surgery will have to be an option. Recently someone sold my fiance a stolen phone, and that has definitely put a strain on our money problems, considering that is how my fiance makes money. Having a possession of stolen phone can land you in prison, because the cops can shut down your phone, locate, and arrest you. I currently do not have a phone, because I had to sell it to make money. My fiance is working very hard to provide for both of us, and his cat of 4 years, as I am still waiting on some papers, and for me to start my job to teach English. This is definitely a problem that will be fixed, because I do not like to be in a position of where I need to ask for money. We will also be moving  to the United States, and we will accomplish this by working very hard, and applying for the K1 visa. We will eventually be leaving Brazil, because it is too expensive, and America is more comfortable for us to fits​ our needs, and to start a better life. I will also like to return and continue school, and pursue my career as a pediatrician. In Brazil the American dollar is worth more, usually about ever $1 is equivalent to about 3 Real in Brazilian money, so even a dollar would help. I can not thank anyone reading this enough! Thank you so much it is highly appreciated!:)

 

P.s. the picture of one of our bills as proof of living in Brazil! Thank you again:)

For the first time in my life I’m in a terrible position. I am a senior citizen who was merely trying to protect myself by requesting in writing that I not be held responsible for damage caused by the condo owners’ plumber. A simple request to have something put in writing to protect myself has resulted in the termination of my lease of 5 years.  This is not an individual who is retaliating against me, this is an Investment Corporation. I’ve paid my lease payment on time every month (I have the proof). The reason I was given for my lease termination was that the Corporation was selling all of their properties.

On October 6, 2015, the plumber replaced my non-working refrigerator and during the installation of the replacement refrigerator, he used a twist-tie to secure the cable from the wall to the ice maker valve.  I didn’t realize the plumber used a twist-tie to secure the cable until the leak happened. I noticed the leakage Friday evening and I spent the weekend and the following Monday filling buckets with the leaking water. The condo owner’s maintenance guy came over that Tuesday and called another plumber who replaced the ice maker valve and I haven’t had a problem thereafter.

Unfortunately, the damage to the floor underneath the refrigerator and the “water creep” up the cabinets on either side of the refrigerator has not been repaired. I don’t understand why the repairs haven’t been completed. The maintenance guy was there so he saw the damage.  I submitted a request for the damage to be repaired. I was completely ignored. Once I learned in July, 2016 that the Corporation was interested in selling all of their condo units, that’s when I requested that I receive in writing that I won’t be responsible for the damage. The maintenance guy turned my request into a verbal battle right in my home. He appeared as a frightening bully. I just wanted him out of my home. Eleven (11) months later, I received a Termination of Lease letter because my lease had expired, and I’m to be out of my home at the end of this month.

I would be very grateful for help with rent and relocation expenses toward my next address. I know what will happen if I don’t get the help. Thank you all.

Hi! My name is Lisa and I lost both of my parents who I lived with and cared for from 2007 until 2014.
My beautiful mother, Marianne, passed away after a long illness on May 30, 2014. Her passing was as beautiful and serene as it could be. She went home to our Lord, surrounded by all of her children and grandchildren, after three days in hospice laughing, crying and saying her personal goodbyes to each one of us.
The day she passed we all left the hospice and went to our respective homes. Home to me was the house I grew up in, and actually lived for more of my life than anywhere else. I was still the sibling who was going to be caring for my father. It was easy for me. I have been single since 2007 and my adult child is on her own, doing well and raising my wonderful grandson. I chose to be single because I lost my husband to cancer in 1996 and after three long term relationships after that I decided that no one quite compared to him, but I digress.
A couple of weeks after the death of my mother my father and I were developing our “Post-Marianne” routine. As the days went on I had noticed things were not “quite right” with him and would reach out to my siblings daily. Very worried about my Dad’s behavior. He had been disappearing for long periods of time, going out at weird hours and stopped eating. We all knew that my mother was his whole world and I was continuously told that he was “just grieving”. After talking with one of my brothers or sisters I would end up agreeing and felt comfortable at the end of the day to put my head on my pillow, cry for my mother who was my best friend and finally fall asleep. When I would ask Dad where he was going at all hours of the day and night he would tell me that he hadn’t slept without my mother 50 years and he wasn’t about to start. That made sense to me. He was having trouble sleeping so he would just get in his truck and drive. He would eventually come home and I would see him before I left for work in the morning. He too was still working, part time, so he would be awake and getting himself ready for his day. On August 11, 2014, a mere 73 days, ( or 2 months and 12 days), my dad and I were having a conversation after work. I had talked about possibly taking a vacation to “get away from it all” for a little while. I was not sure if this was going to happen because although I worked full-time and still do, I didn’t have a lot of money to throw away on vacations. It was about 9:45pm and we were saying goodnight. I told him I was expecting a call from my brother at 10:00 and asked him if he wanted to say hello when he called. My dad declined. I went up to my room, received my phone call from my brother at 10:00 as planned. He and I talked about missing mom, Dad’s strange behavior and our daily lives..work…etc. for a couple of hours. It was now mid-night and I was getting sleepy. I had to be up early for work so I said goodbye to my brother and crawled in to bed with my kitty cats and cried myself to sleep another night missing my mom. I had just dosed off around 12:50am, August 12, 2014 (74 days after losing mom) and heard a noise downstairs, right underneath my bedroom. I didn’t think anything of it. I figured it was just dad shutting the front door for the night. A matter of a minute or so passed and the noise just didn’t sit right with me because as I came out of my slumber I remembered that all of the doors were shut when I went up to take the call from my brother. I jumped out of my bed with a real feeling of dread. As I came down the first flight of stairs made the turn to the second I saw my father on the sofa putting his military weapon, Marine Corp issued M-1, in his mouth. That is about as far as I can go because the rest of what I witnessed, which plays over and over on a loop in my brain, will not come out of my mouth or the tips of my fingers when I type. You all can figure it out without any gory details. The man who was my hero was now gone as well. I had lost both of my best friends within 2 months and 13 days of each other. One, as you read passed beautifully, the other tragically right in front of me.
Obviously I could no longer stay in the house. Although I have worked for the same company for 10 years I had no real savings. I went and stayed with my sister for as long as I could and decided to take a loan against my 401K to get myself started out in the real world. I did ok for the first two years. I had a little bit of money that was left to me from the sale of the house, but when that ran out things started to get difficult. It isn’t easy being a single income and I am not proud to say this, but my parent’s coddled me. I never really had to grow up. I am not proud of this, and wish they had done a few things differently. I had to do a lot of growing up very quickly. This brings me to today. In February 2016, on Dad’s birthday actually, I was promoted to my current position with the company I have been with since 2007. With the promotion I obviously had a salary increase and the opportunity for overtime was endless due to a merger of two divisions within the company. I was scraping by because of the overtime. A few months ago the OT came to a screeching halt and so did my financial life. I got behind on my rent. This month, 06/2017, I could only pay $500 of the $800 that was due on the first and not even paid until the 10th. I already owe the landlord two months rent ($1600.00 from previous months) that he was willing to let slide because he knew my situation and that I have no family that can help me. My electric bill got out of control this winter, it hit an all time high and I owe $1400.00 to keep it from being disconnected in a couple of days. I am at my wits end and just do not know what to do. I have tried taking a loan and keep getting denied. I continue to work hard and am looking for a part-time job to supplement the loss of the overtime hours. I don’t mind working hard, but my back is against the wall. If anyone can see it in their hearts to help me with a $2000-$2500 donation to get me through this month and my account in the positive I plan to meet with a financial advisor and have a budget created to keep me on track. I should, if I plan carefully, have no problem affording my rent, utilities and other bills. I thank all who may read this in advance for any consideration you may give.

Many regards,
Lis’

Hey, my name is Angelina, I live in São Paulo, Brazil. This weeked i moved to live together with my friend and my girlfriend. Its a back house, just with a room, a kitchen and a bathroom.

Unfortunately had a misunderstood between us and the owner of the house. To pick the house we should give an enter of 800,00, that we’ve already did, and, we understood that she said that we should pay 600,00 on june and the fully payment (that it’s 1.400,00 reais) only in july. We buyed cooker, refrigerator and payed to delivered here, so we got empty. The fact is that the 600,00 was the rest of the enter and the 1.400,00 are to be payed now, this all together in june.

To raise the issue, my friend that live with us is from Colombia, and to stay here she teach english, but unfortunely she got out of clients and she’s also need to pay for her document to stay in Brasil.

My girlfriend was from another city and she’s trying to get in college this year, if this thing got wrong she may have to go back to Paraty, that is her city, and lose her oportunity.

I’m trying to get out of home because i had lot’s of fights in there and i’m also starting to tattoo and there was kinda problematic.

I’m sorry about the english mistakes.

I don’t want much, I just want this to work.

 

My family had a rough year in 2016. It all started in the last week of September when we tried to rent a apartment and we where scammed. With only $500 left to my name and no home to go to I had to put my family up in a hotel. Work was slow getting ready for peak season. I was getting less then 20 hours a week. I was running out of funds and my pay checks wasn’t able to pay for the hotel after the third week of being there. We found a family shelter and had 30 days to find a place. We fallowed the shelter program and was doing well. In November I was involved in my first car accident, I was rear ended with my 2 year old son and wife. It wasn’t a major accident but my rotary muscle in my right arm was injured and I couldn’t lift my arm without it hurting and my job involved a lot of lifting. I was told by doctor to wait a week before going back. I did and still had problems. I was instructed by doctor to go to physical therapy but with me working third shift and time running out in the shelter, so I didn’t go. We eventually found an apartment and moved in. My arm was in so much pain that i frequently called off from work and quit my job. Not to mention I was driving without an inspection or emissions and revived a citation for it during the car accident. We have been skating by struggling the whole time. We had to park the car on a public street by our home, no job no money couldn’t keep insurance. while the car is sitting we where getting tickets for no inspection until March when we had the only snow fall was a state emergency winter advisory and our car is parked on emergency route. We wasn’t able to move it because city police put boot on car as they instructed everyone to move there vehicles or they will be towed. My family and I survived on my income tax return till late April. I am worried about getting any kind of job because of my warrants for the inspection being out. We also just recently received a Recovery of real property hearing notice that will turn into an eviction notice. I am asking for $4500  for my two months of rent, fines to take care of warrants, and a down payment for a car with insurance. Thank you for reading my story and hope you will help me.

Hi there. My name is Tyler and I am looking for the money necessary to be able to pay the rest of my rent this month. My rent is due on the 1^st (Thursday). I need $350 by then. I thought I could find enough work/sell enough personal belongings to meet the amount needed. I’ve sold everything extra lying around that I absolutely do not need (old cell phones, electronics, etc.). It helped with the bills this month. Sadly, not enough to cover all of the rent. I currently deliver newspapers; however, they have not paid me yet. Since I only started there recently, I don’t make enough to be approved for a payday loan (haven’t gotten the first paycheck from them). I don’t have any family and friends are unable to help with the funds I need. I’ve been pulling side gigs from Craigslist when I can. It helps for sure, however not enough to cover rent. Even have donated plasma and tried getting into a few medical studies to get that quick money I need. A 2 day time crunch really makes you look at all the options you have. Some of the options are out there, and some are just plain creepy. We do what we can though to make ends meet. It’s hard when you think you have so many opportunities to make some quick money in an emergency, only to find out it’s not enough money or you are limited in your options more so than you first thought. Really, beyond this, I have been doing alright. Been able to meet the bills and live a pretty standard life. Just gets hard when you are working and realize you won’t get paid in enough time and they can’t help. Being younger and in full health, I figured I could always find some side work quickly if needed. Even that is not enough though sometimes. It would be great to not have to resort to this, however, here I am. As long as I can get through the next 2 days and pay rent, I will be perfectly fine. That is my short story and why I am asking for help with rent. If you can help in any way, that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you also for taking the time to read this (you could have been doing something else instead). I hope you enjoy the rest of your week and may you never find yourself in the same position. Thanks again!

Hello Everyone,

 

I’m Paula single mother of 3, living in Houston, TX looking to raise enough money so that my kids and I can move from our current small 2 bedroom apartment into our new 3 bedroom town home.  I’ve found someone to move us for free and I have enough to buy some groceries for the new place.  Due to my credit my deposit is $1,500 which is equivalent to first month rent.  I don’t have to pay anything for the actual month of June being that they were running a special for 1st month free rent, so my actual rent will not be due until July.  I’m required to pay this extra deposit before I can obtain my keys.  I’m sure you’re wondering how I got the apartment without income.  The job I’d been working ended recently.  I’ve always been a positive person and I’ve developed very good administrative skills to find a great job in time before July.  Right now I’m just in this bind and I really did not expect them to ask for that much of a deposit, but I know it will be okay.  I’ve prayed that there are some angels out there that are willing to help out with whatever you can.  I figured even if 75 people donate $20 a piece, that would be great.  I’m not the type of person to ever ask anyone for anything unless I REALLY need it.  The lease in our current apartment is just about up and I simply can’t renew and don’t want to renew due to the conditions of the inside and outside of the property.  In the past year we’ve gotten 4 notices about break-ins and robberies.  A neighbour told my told girls (whom are teens) to be careful because there had been a rape a couple of months ago on the property.  Not sure how true that is.  On top of that I’ve never in my life had to kill so many cockroaches!  No matter how clean we keep it, they keep finding a way in.  We literally have to turn on a light and look around before we enter the rooms in the apartment to make sure a cockroach isn’t lurking somewhere.  I’m sorry, I left out my other child (four-legged) whom we adopted a few months ago when things were good.  His name is Captain.  He’s a 4 month old lab/border collie mix and I simply refuse to take him back to the shelter because he’s very good at keeping my highly emotional 14 year old calm and he’s the little brother to my oldest boy who’s 16.    Please excuse the small rant.  One day I’m hoping to be the lender and not the borrower.    If you can help please trust that it will be greatly appreciated.  I believe in the power of prayer.  God Bless anyone that’s able to help.

Regards

Paula

Hi. Just yesterday I lost my wallet which contained the remaining amount of my rent money. I must have left it on my trunk or the roof of my car as I buckled my daughter into her car seat . We had lunch and went to the park. I’ve searched anywhere I can think of that we were at that day. I’m already late and I’m on the verge of eviction. My complex files on the 26th. I’m a single mom and I work two jobs. I pay for everything myself and this is truly devastating. This was all I needed to pay to be caught up. I’m asking for help from anyone who can donate to raise $500. I’ve never had to do this before and I would appreciate any and all help. Just need to some kindness. Thank you! d I would appreciate any and all help. Just need to some kindness. Thank you!

Hello, My names is Alexander Maurice Dixon Decambre. I am from Newark, New Jersey, but currently reside with in Central Florida. It’s been less than a year ago that i was attending FAMU for a Bachelors in Accounting, but a change of scenery opened my eyes to what my true potential is. I’ve always been good at writing. Poetry is my favorite thing, however that wasn’t going to be my sole source of income. After leaving college I moved back in with mom who I’ve been abused and beaten by since i was 4 (thats as early as i can remember) and I’m not saying this to appeal to anyones emotions, its just explains why me and my mother wouldn’t be fit to live with each other. I applied to jobs before i even came back to central Florida however the application process too way to long for my mothers liking. She raised me as a single parent as well. For that reason i honestly don’t have any other family members to live with. Luckily i knew a friend from high school and he offered me a place to live when my mother eventually pushed me out of the house. It took two weeks for me to get employed and now I’m working 2 jobs, one at a temp agency called Nesco and another at Mc Donald’s. Now the rule was we all pitch in $350 for rent, which wouldn’t have been a problem until i realized how my paychecks were set up. I only get paid for 1 week, every 2 weeks. Truthfully i don’t even have money for my self (food, bearly laundry etc) and I’m scared I won’t have enough money for rent in 2 weeks. If i don’t have the money not only do i get evicted but so do the people I live with. They have people they can move in with. I will be homeless. I would appreciate it if you could lend me some money just so i can get on my feet for this month. Thank you. My new home doesn’t look like much but its much better living duress free.

My name is Mike. I’m a 39 year old man living with my girlfriend and our 10 year old daughter. I’m a proud person but hard times have forced me to do this. I’m a diabetic, my girlfriend has multiple disabilities that prevent her from working. She has heart and spinal problems, frequent migraines, a permanent drop foot, severe nerve damage in her leg from complications with a hip replacement surgery and is on multiple medications. My daughter has been diagnosed with asperger syndrome, ADHD, and generalized anxiety disorder and is currently being tried on various medication and therapies to try to help her. We are behind on the rent at our duplex and our landlord is threatening eviction any day now if he doesn’t receive the payment. When we first moved here things were ok. Money was tight but we were able to manage. Then we got the notice that her disability check was being cut. I worked a lot of overtime to compensate but then my employer was bought out and my overtime completely cut out. I took a second job to try to make up for it but the money was not nearly as good and we started having to pay partial payments on bills and skip some altogether. We tried applying for assistance but were informed we did not qualify because I made too much money. I’m am having to carry the full weight of our upkeep and it’s more than I can do. My child has feeding issues and is underweight, so we have to buy more groceries than we might normally in an attempt to help here gain weight so as to avoid having a g tube put in her stomach. I have tried borrowing money but my credit has been hurt by having to miss payments on various bills and I can’t get a traditional loan. I’m trying desperately to keep us above water but every month we are farther and farther behind. My landlord has been told about the situation but was not sympathetic. We were served with a detainer warrant and had to go to court more than once. Each time putting us further behind because of court costs and attorney fees caused us to be later and later with the rent which caused an accumulation of late fees. It’s come to a point now where I expect to be served with an eviction notice any day and while I am ok with sleeping in my car for a while I can’t expect my family to suffer like that. The situation will be resolved at the end of June when the lease ends. It’s just staying in our home till then. My girlfriend and daughter will be able to stay with her mother while I find a more affordable home. Her mother is currently in another state but is moving here in July so we have that to look forward to. It kills me to as for help this way, but I’m desperate and willing to do anything to keep my family sheltered and provided for. I need desperately to come up with at least $2600 to keep our home till July. Anything over will be used for medications, groceries, and medications.  Anything anyone feels led to do to help is greatly appreciated. God bless

Where to begin.. My name is Jessica, I am a single Mom of a 3 year old little boy, who is my life. And at the moment struggling.   I have asked for rental assistance from government organization’s, chruchs, non-profit, but every where I have turned there is no funding. I just do not know where to turn. I am currently seeking better employment.   I just do not want to lose our home (apartment) my 3 year old has felt enough heartache with his whole life being turned upside down over the last two half years. His father made poor choices and ended up addicted to drugs, and eventually landed him in prison, which was rock a bottom moment for my family! We went from a normal family with a hard working great father, that became stuck in a world of hellish suffering and heavenly miracles. A man who completely provided for and loved his family, to not having him here at all! Which was the beginning of hard times. I worked 60 hours a week maintaining my household and trying to find time with my baby.   Unfortunately I lost a job that we were comfortable paying all our bills. I now work one job and a second job doing deliverys, and cleaning jobs on the side, trying to make ends meet, which we now live paycheck to paycheck, due to losing the one job we fell behind in rent and it is nearly impossible to catch up. And I only want to be able to provide for my son Xavier and give him the things he needs. I am curretly behind in bills and payments but am only asking for assistanve for my back rent.  I currently Have two job interviews lined up for Monday, that presents a better opportunity for my family. Also I am.in the process of trying to begin the process of starting my own LLC cleaning company.  But in the meantime I can not lose the roof over our heads. I have no choice but to reach out and ask for help. My Mom has tried to help me in everyway possible buy she struggles herself. And I have nowhere else to turn. So I only ask that someone finds it in their heart to help us. With my son so young it is hard with childcare to work more then I already do. Plus he needs time with Mom, and until then I will do everything in my power to provide even if it’s means less and less time with my baby. Until my head is above water. I just need a helping hand to keep our home it maybe a small 1bedroom apartment but it is where we call home.  I can email documents needed to show proof I am behind my email.is jessicaxavierjuan@gmail.com.  I would like to thank everyone who takes their time to read this. And appreciate any help or feedback that is given. God bless.

Jessica & Xavier

I am in an extreme need of some cash just to pay bills and to stay afloat. I am seriously on the edge with Stress and depression to the point where I haven’t slept in 36 hours while typing this. I have tried getting a second job, working odd jobs, getting small payday loans. But everything just seems to end up with me back where I started. Finding the job I have was hard enough and even though I have a good work ethic and I am extremely friendly I can’t seem to get a job anywhere short of Jimmy John’s and having already worked there before I realized that I was barely making 100 a week in profit there. I tried taking jobs from Craigslist where I could, but most of those are “hot babes needed” or something equally absurd. Payday loans help at first, but they just keep making things worse and no one seems to be interested in giving me a real loan. I really only need around 1250 to take care of the issue right now, but 2500 would probably give me the breathing room I need to no longer feel so extremely stressed and possibly even help me think more clearly and work on something more long term to fix this issue. But any help is so extremely appreciated. My landlord is really starting to hound me about being late with rent by about a week every month. I am tempted at this point to go to the casino and hope to god I get lucky, but I wanted to try this one last thing first.
