Homeless and needing help, Mental health is draining

I wrote another one of these but didn’t put my paypal down :(

My partner and I need financial aid towards bond, (4 weeks rent and 2 weeks advance) that we would need to pay to be able to rent a house together. At the moment we are working full time hours and still at the end of the week, we are lucky to have a shared $20. this is not because we are bad with money, this is because we have both had a few unlucky things happen – all very recently.

Us: A couple in our 20’s. we work 30+ hours a week and even then because we are paying debts (car loans, Christmas shopping loans and education loans) we are both lucky to have a shared $50 at the end of the week. this makes it impossible to save for bond money. which makes it impossible to rent a house. Which means we are inevitably going to be homeless.

The Story: My partner became homeless on January the 3rd, the owner of the house gave him less than a months notice just before Christmas that he would have to pack his things and leave because the owner had not been paying the mortgage as he had a gambling issue (the owner was also a friend of ours so we didnt want to put in a complain against him, he seems to have enough demons to conquer). I also was also told by my most recent housemate that she no longer wanted to resign the lease with me as she had second thoughts (I was promised a shared tenancy agreement with her verbally in December, moved my furniture in, went on a holiday came back with very little money and then told this just after new years). There was no reason other than she decided  she still preferred to live alone. So, I moved into my Nans spare room, which I am grateful for but I was told it is only very temporary and I fear I am running out of time before I become homeless like my partner who is couch surfing or sleeping in his car which is also leaking badly because of all the rain we are witnessing at the moment. On top of this his grandfather passed away two days ago which has crushed him, it is just so unfortunate and unfair and anything to make our lives or his life easier at the moment would be awesome.

To have a place to call ours, to be able to sleep well for a full night and to not fear for our mental health or safety. That would truly be our dream right now.
So thank you for reading this. thank you for donating if you choose to. thank you from the bottom of our hearts. I promise when we are able to we will pay if forward.

Bond is usually 4 weeks rent, and two weeks rent paid in advance. (6 weeks worth of rent). In our area a one or two bedroom property is between $380-$450 (the $380 places look like crack dens and are usually very mouldy which I can’t live in due to respiratory problems, then again, a mouldy home is better than no home). So we are hoping for around $2280-$2700

My job source was burnt and I need to pay rent

My name is Valeria I’m 29 and I’m from Chile.

I started studying nutrition but had to drop out to help my mother financially, after my father passed away. I only got small jobs, until a friend of mine decided to take a chance on me and offered me a biology teacher post on some after school reinforcement center (where kids go to prepare for college). I had a very nice income and was able to support myself and my mom for four years (she also gets a small pension). After that, she found out my grandma (her mother) had alzheimer’s so, we decided to move to where she lived, so we could help her out.

I couldn’t find a job as a teacher again, regardless of my previous experience and the fact I always had excellent reviews from both, students and co-workers. I didn’t have a career, so all else didn’t matter.

I got myself a job as a cashier two years ago, and even though it wasn’t much, my mom and I managed to live well enough to save a little money every month. it was all going well until a couple of months ago.

On october 2019, protesters all around the country went from manifesting themselves pacifically to trash, break and burn a lot of supermarkets, pharmacies and small businesses. I agree with what they’re asking, but sadly, I live in one of the most active cities in my country, and so one of the businesses they tore apart was the small supermarket I worked in as a cashier.

Automatically, I was unemployed. We managed to survive two months because of our savings and the money they gave me when I was fired (quite literally) from my job. I’ve searched for work everywhere but haven’t been able to find. My situation is currently shared by thousands around the country. We have to pay rent this month and we have barely any money left to eat, after paying the rest of the bills with my mom’s pension. I don’t know what to do.

My boyfriend is willing to take us in but we can move in on April and until then, we have to be able to pay rent.

Please, help me. I’m ashamed to do this, but I don’t know what to do.

Thank you for reading. If you want to help me and my mom, please, we need to raise $600 for this and next month’s rent. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

High School Dropout Pursuing Higher Education To Become The First In The Family To Get A Degree

A 23-year-old male, Washington

Hello, I’m a twenty-three-year-old male looking for financial help to be the first person in my family to get an education.

As of right now, I am enrolled with a 3.47 GPA, involved in my college by being a sitting member in our art selection committee, and I also coach elementary-age children in after school sports programs.

But it has been a hell of a journey to get this far.

After my parents separated when I was five, we moved to Washington from Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Here I suffered from separation anxiety while my dad suffered from a drug and alcohol problem. When I got to High School I didn’t learn from my dad’s mistakes and fell in with the wrong crowd. I took to this crowd because they made me feel like family giving me a sense of identity and affection that was so foreign before. This coupled with having to work since I was 13-14 to help provide for myself as well as my father and sister during the winter months when my dad’s work was slow. (He is a construction worker) Meant I really could care less about school. 

But after two years of working and partying, I hit rock bottom. I stopped abusing myself and substances and focused on school. I took AP classes and tried to salvage as much as I could to graduate, but my effort was not enough. I was a couple of credits short and my counselor said the class I needed wasn’t available for summer school. I dropped out and started a skateboard apparel company. This was also the first year I volunteered my time to help inner-city unprivileged youth and families creating packs of essentials to give to homeless youth as well as underprivileged families in need. My time was full and rewarding. After spreading myself too thin as the company grew but I couldn’t afford to hire help. I had to put the company on hold after only 3 years.

Needless to say, the company never bounced back and I was forced to get a big boy job. I worked in the labor industry for a couple of years before deciding to get my GED and apply for school. I had a new goal. To get a higher education so I could, one day, provide for a family of my own. Within a year I got my GED and started attending my first year of college.

It has been a blast! My new found respect for education combined with my personal goals has been able to push me to complete my assignments and work my ass off to get good grades. But it has not been all peachy.

Going to school full time means I can’t work as much. I still have a job but even part-time I find myself staying up late at night so I don’t fall behind in my classes. The job barely pays for my gas and some food. But I do have to say I have been lucky enough that my dad has been generous enough to allow me to move back this year and not charge me rent. But this means I live an hour away from school and work. And I still have bills like my insurance and cell phone to pay. Not living by the school and in a double-wide that is not a good environment for learning or my mental health takes a toll. High levels of anxiety and mild depression, as well as some sleep deprivation, is kicking my ass. But I have tried my hardest to set myself up for success.

I have applied to 26 scholarships and soon to be more. I have an EFC of 0 on my FASFA and hope to be eligible for some grants next year and just doing my damndest to get an education! But I still need help.

I need to move.

I am looking for some financial backing to help move to the city my school is located in. Being a college town, rent is high. It also doesn’t help the landlords are notorious in this town for overcharging and screwing over college kids. I don’t care if its a room or an apartment I just want to be closer to my school and get out of a desolate small town. And I am willing to work for it.

Think of it as investing in my future. If you are willing to back me generously we can put stipulations on my allowance. Community service, GPA, and missing assignments are just some ideas if needed. I believe in myself fully and you should too. I’ve worked for more than half my life and I’m willing to work for my future. If you’d like to know more about me, prove my GPA or work experience, or just send kind words of support, you can email me at WAstudenthelp@gmail.com If you’re in Washington I would even work for your company if it helps get me through college. This is just a synopsis of my story, and I appreciate you taking the time to read it.

On My Own – Lost Financial Support

So, I decided to try this out as a last resort honestly. I keep asking talking and praying to God trying to find a solution. But, I moved halfway across the country at 17 last year by myself, to pursue my dream of Figure Skating at the Olympic Training Center. I live alone in a tiny studio apartment, living off of social security from when my Dad Passed away last April from cancer. Losing that financial support has been a huge toll on my family, and knew I had to be independent with my bills. But as you can imagine, Paying for training, food, college, and bills has been a lot. and i’m starting to get very behind. I owe 7,000 at the moment, and am trying to get that in time for when rent,classes, and training bills are due. I know everyone is looking for money, but I would be extremely grateful. And it would really help me get back on my feet. Thank you got even taking the time to read my post! God bless you and I hope you have a wonderful day.

Sleeping In Car With Family

Hello, my name is Renee. My mother, our cat, and I have found ourselves in a very bad situation. After trusting my father again, even though he’s proven to us multiple times that he can’t be trusted, the three of us are living out of her 1999 Mazda.

It started three years ago when we were unfairly evicted after asking our landlord to fix a pipe that burst above our downstairs floor. It flooded everything on Christmas morning and we were without water for two weeks. We’ve been in limbo ever since, struggling to save after starting off with nothing. My father promised that we’d stay with a family member on my mother’s side for only six months, because he would fix it. It started out well with saving and working together, until my father took all of the money to fix a problem with his driver’s license. We were back at square one and things were getting bad at our family member’s home. We were unable to bathe because it was wasting too much water. We were unable to wash clothes, because there were rules for that. We were also forced to keep our cat inside of her kennel far too often. There were also rules as to when we left the house.

My mother tried to save what she could from what little she got a month, but at every turn there were car expenses, food costs, and other things that kept us having to start over multpile times. I wasn’t making enough to make up for what we had to use, and decided to look for employment elsewhere. Little did I know things were about to get worse.

Just before Thanksgiving my mother, our cat, and I had no choice but to leave our family member’s home. They finally decided to show us how much they never wanted us there and a huge argument happened that ended in us leaving. We haven’t spoken since. My father was determined now that it was certain we’d be sleeping in my mother’s car. He promised he would never let that happen, and put us up at a motel nearby.

However he soon decided it was better to bet what little money we had on football games instead of paying the owner and we were evicted yet again. He has been allowed to stay in another city with family like he has been since we were first evicted. While my mother and I have been staying out of her car with our cat due to tensions with her family and his. I don’t think they’re reconciling anytime soon. Were unable to afford a motel or hotel and getting a new job has been harder than I thought. She’s disabled and I would really love for she and our cat to have a warm place to be instead of sleeping in a cold car.

I’ve found a studio space that’s asking $475 a month and with the deposit it should be $750. It’s not in the best location, but hopefully I get hired somewhere soon and our stay there won’t be too long.

If there’s anything you could donate towards this $750, we’d greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

Homeless in NYC HELP ME GET BACK ON MY FEET

I am a 34 yr old women in NYC whose been homeless on and off since 2017, I was evicted from my apartment because the landlord wanted more money which I obviously couldn’t afford. I have been able to work despite being homeless. throughout the pass 2 years I have tried to rent a room and for one reason or another I’ve not been able to stay long term but being in desperate need I would settle to stay just to stop from moving from hotel to hotel or keep out of any of the dangerous shelters. I have only been able to find rooms from people who do not have any lease or contract and like to rent on a month to month basis 1 person had arrangements with a person permanently and wanted to rent the room out to me while they were on vacation. there was another place where I was splitting rent of a room with a roommate and the roommate decided to leave at the end of the year which was only 4 months into renting leaving me with the full rent but then the landlord decided to kick everyone out the apartment last minute there was no lease or contract with this place either. the last place I was in I had to leave because the lady renting the room was very abusive towards me I wasn’t allowed to use the kitchen well honestly I was only there to sleep because I was working so much I barely saw them but when I was there she would always find a problem in the bathroom and blame me for it if it was my fault I would apologize and fix it I was gone for 2 days for Christmas and when I came back she said I messed up her toilet and window and made a sign in the bathroom calling me a pig. so now I am homeless whatever money I make goes to hotel rooms to stay throughout the week (which are not affordable either), food to eat, my phone bill for work and my transportation to and from work, as of now I only have part time hours at my job (24 hrs) I am going to an interview on Monday at another job I used to work for to get some more hours in. Its hard to get a stable place at the moment because I have bad credit and all the places that have long term contracts require background check and credit check which I cant afford to fix right now. I’ve also looked into renting right outside of nyc in jersey city within commute of my job just to try to find something affordable but I cant quite come up with enough to on time to make it happen. you should give me a donation to help me back into a permanent home, the funds would be used towards the rent and fees of getting a place if I was to get more than enough of donations it will even go to paying months in advance of rent while I work and am able to save, nothing would mean more to me at this time for the donations I promise it would go to good use  would even be more than glad to keep all my donators updated with my progress with my new place. thank you to all who chose donate.

Hanging by A Thread

Hi to everyone that’s reading this today, I titled this because I’m going through a very tough time in life right now and I really have no where else to turn. I just recently moved into my very first apartment with my (now ex fiancé) I got promoted at work and found out I was pregnant all within the same week I was very happy. Unfortunately my partner wasn’t too happy about becoming a father I could tell by his body language and many other signs when the doctor came into the room to confirm the pregnancy. We had our first ultrasound at around 6-7 weeks and I seen the lack of interest from him but I was still happy because motherhood means the world to me  the best gift is creating life. Fast forward to the second ultrasound which was a few weeks later to be able to detect a heartbeat I was informed that my baby was still the same size as the last ultrasound and I got really nervous and freaked out the nurse recommended going to the hospital so I did I was there for hours and they finally came in to tell me that I was having a missed miscarriage, this was my first time hearing this ever in life I was so hurt I couldn’t even speak and before I knew it I was just crying and crying. They prescribed me some medication to speed up the miscarriage process because I wasn’t having any symptoms my body didn’t even know my baby had stopped breathing. After taking the medicine I had extreme cramps that were worse than mensural cramps and was bleeding very heavy and wasn’t able to make it to work for many days at a time but they did not care about what was going on and I could tell they regret promoting me and fired me for my attendance because of my miscarriage. Me and my now ex fiancé would argue nonstop because of money and bills, I had gotten fired but he didn’t have a job or was he looking either, I kicked him out and have been looking for a new job but I can’t seem to get any interviews I’m so worried I will be evicted my rent is due every month on the 1st and I can’t pay if I can I won’t be able to buy food or even pay my phone bill to receive calls from potential employers. I’ve been  donate my blood and plasma to help others but then I had to use donating to help me with my bills, if anyone out there is reading this thank you for your time and if you are thinking about donating anything will help. Thanks for reading.

One Dream

My life took a turn in 2014 when I was granted DACA. I was brought to the United States at the age of 9 and due to my immigration status I didn’t have the same opportunities for employment. I became the only one of three Hondurian brothers to get make it to college. Although I studied theatre at UCLA, eventually I had to come back home to San Francisco with family because college was nothing more than a financial burden I had only myself for support. Through  DACA I was able to find the first legal employment in retail banking, and within three years, the company I had worked for selected me as one of their champions of 2017. The American dream seemed achievable. However, that same year the employer illegally asked me to temporarily leave the office because my DACA was expired . At the time I was very naive and did not understand the rights as a worker in this country. When I received my DACA, three weeks later, my employer took me back; yet this information regarding my illegal immigration status was information known to everyone at the office I worked in. This bias created a competition, and often ridicule and questioned the work I was doing, and bullied my opportunity to want employment. In November 2018 the company took me out again, and this time it was due to personal issues that only were created against this information of my immigration status repeatedly being heard. I went through a depression and with little money I had saved up, I survived and started looking for work again. I’m April 2019 I found out that I had unemployment insurance benefits through a friend that I was asking for help. He had also come to my aid because I had cut my right hand open With a knife while doing some dishes at home. My benefits neglected to notify me on how the process of certifying was, and information was sent to an old address I was no longer living in. As the months went by, and I tried to survive with my hand, I didn’t everything I could to pay at least for my rent. In October of that year I was told I was elegible for free insurance and i went to the doctor to find out that my hand needed surgery and also some therapy. I had been so depressed and trying to survive to pay rent that I couldn’t afford to pay for the renewal of my DACA. My DACA expired and I couldn’t renew it in time to keep my unemployment benefits or even obtained legal employment for that matter. In January I was granted the fee for my application. I am now waiting impatiently for my DACA to be approved and received. What I have been doing while my hand gets better I have been studying to get my MBA. I have also been offered an interview in February with an online education program so I can be certified for an Executive MBA. Without my DACA I am not able to get any financial assistance, so I’m hoping it comes in the mail soon. This has also affected my housing. Now I am faced with a month late on rent, and another one coming up. Whoever you are, please help me with whatever you can. I promise day you will hear from me, and that I have to pay you back, take my word because I will.

I al asking for $2400 to cover for this month and the next. Yet anything I would appreciate.

Life is beautiful, and even tho I am going through the hardest chapter of my life yet, I know that it’s helping me build a better foundation for my future and for my my dreams in this country.

Thank you for your time.

Help with paying my families rent

Good morning

My name is Latika williams and I reside in Fort Worth, Tx with my husband Stanley and our 19 yr old daughter Sierra and 6 yr old son Tyler. The past 2 months we have just been playing catch up with bills due to my husbands hrs being drastically cut at his job… he works for Fed Ex Ground. We were on assistance for a little bit which helped with food and medical bills but as of November of last year that has been cut. So we have to supplement from his pay money for food and other food expenses which takes away from putting money aside for rent. Our youngest son Tyler also was just recently diagnosed with Autism which has taken another emotional toll on the household.. last month he had to leave his home school to start at a special school for kids with autism which is a commute for us daily and having one car between all 4 of us gets tough at times. Last month our rent of $1375 was late by 5 days and because we have unreasonable landlords we ended up paying them $1600.. our rent is due on the 2nd. Late on the 3rd with an automatic $50 late fee and every day after that $25 a day until it’s paid .. we hoped to have our tax refund by the 3rd but found out it won’t be sent out until around the 20th.. we just need a little help because our plan is to by the summer move and buy our 1st home because renting is basically like throwing money out a window.. if we could just get passed this month (February) we’ll be ok

I need $2000 to move into my first apartment

DAE3F3D4-C7E6-4564-8329-6BEB2291C388.jpegHello! My name is Sofia and I am 18 years old. I am attending college online and taking 12 units this semester and was able to receive a scholarship so I only had to pay $30 for this semester which I am very thankful for! I will be moving into my first apartment Feb 1st and I unfortunately do not have enough money for the first month of rent. The rent is $1,460 and I only have $415 saved. I have been unable to save my money because I had to quit my job due to my grandmother falling ill in November and me having to take care of her because we could not afford a caregiver. She recently was able to get into a living facility so I no longer have to take care of her and will be moving into my own apartment. While I was taking care of her I unfortunately had to use my credit card to purchase a lot of our groceries so I ended up making it out. I am only able to pay the minimum every month which is $25 and that has been difficult to do. The only work I have been able to do is doordash (delivering food) and I’m only able to do it a few times a week and it does not pay great. I have saved $415 from doordashing and will be using that towards my rent but I still need $1000 more to move in. I have job interviews lined up and am hooding to find a job within a couple weeks so I can be able to pay for my rent but I’m barely going to be able to pay off my credit card debt which is bringing down my credit score and almost caused me to not get into this apartment. I owe  $893.70 so the other $1000 would be to completely pay off my debt and be able to start fresh and use my credit card very sparingly. Being able to move into this apartment will be a great relief of stress because I have been couch hopping the past three weeks which is very exhausting. Being in my own apartment will help me focus on school and provide me with a safe place to come home to every night and not worry where the next place I’m staying will be. I greatly appreciate any donations! Thank you!

Just a little help will do please..

Hello, my name is kristina. I am 22 years of age. So far life hasn’t been easy for me but I’m trying a few years ago I was attending savannah tech which was the cheapest school for me to attend at the time, however I was also working multiple jobs to pay for that. FAFSA didn’t approve me and I couldn’t have my parents help me because they already had so much going on. I couldn’t focus. So I stopped going to school and proceeded working at a pizza place. I worked there for 7 years until I got tired of the manager there belittling everyone and cursing us out every chance he could. He was a toxic boss so I just recently left and things have been hard. I dont have insurance and I have two puppy kids. I cant go to the doctor because I dont have money for it. I take my pups whe. I can because i care about their health more than mine. I also pay regular bills and those aren’t cheap. Living isn’t cheap. It’s hard especially when it seems impossible  to climb up and win for once. So. I’m asking if you dont mind. Please help me achieve something and help me feel like I can do it I’ll have that win and a break one day. Please and THANK YOU💜💜💜

Rent

To whom it may Concern,

My name is Chenelle. The reason I’m here is to ask for a monetary donation to assist my children and I with our rent situation. Ever since August 2018, the landlord have started an holdover case. During this time no monies have been paid / collected.*

On September 2018, I was forced to leave my job because I was dealing with some medical issues. From this time to present I’ve been diligently looking / searching for a job. I have not been successful in my job hunt / search.

Although I must say I am in the hiring process with NYPD, but the process is very long and I do know how long it will take before I am officially hired  and being paid.

I am a mother of three boys.  Including one of which is autistic. I feel like such a failure. Not being able provide for my children the way a mother should.

*My case is in court right now as I type this message. My rent arrears are $17,200.13. Of which my landlord is requesting at least half of it upfront.  I currently have $0 to pay at this moment.

I was dreading this day for a long time.  I was so scared that this day would come and I wouldn’t be prepared for it. This is exactly the case.

Between paying my monthly Bills and all my lawyer’s fee.  I do not have any money.

The landlord’s lawyer just turn down my lawyer request to adjourn the case to see what we can workout.

I am praying that someone reads this immediately and assist me out of this predicament.

I am willing to provide all the necessary proof / paper work for this case. As of now these papers are in my lawyer’s possession, but as soon as I am given a copy I will be willing and happy to submit all of it or what’s required of me to submit.

My lawyer’s name is Jeffery McAdams. My landlord is Malek Management. It’s a holdover case because the lease is in my mother’s name and she was not residing in the home.

I am begging someone to please hear my cry and assist me. Please help my family.

The landlord’s lawyer just turned down another offer made by my lawyer (I think I am falling to pieces) they are threatening to bring a judgement towards us. Having a home over my children’s head is very important. Please help me to maintain it. Please help me I have no more words, i am just in dire need of your help. Please help us.

Physically Abused Needs Money

Hello All,

I am here because I am in a financial bind. Within the past months I successfully ended a physically abusive relationship. I moved to a new town in hopes of preventing my abuser from finding me but during that process I’ve put myself at financial risk. I moved and am subleasing a place that is a little bit more expensive than what I could apparently afford. I thought I’d be able to make it work but I am struggling this month. I really need some help but I do not have anyone I can ask. I work full time and am really trying my hardest but there’s no way I can make my rent this month. Any help would be appreciated. Much love and thanks.

I Got Job Scammed and I’m Behind on Bills

First off, I would like to say, I don’t know who is doing this but I really appreciate someone, anyone in the world who is offering to help some people out by giving some extra money away; thank you.

I have been in a very strange and hard place in life for the last year. This time last year, I separated from my husband that had been cheating on me. I moved out from our apartment, saved some money and things were going great. But the troubles really started about 4 months ago.

Four months ago, I had a great job I liked and that paid my bills but not much extra. At one point, I had all of my bills paid up, a few bills paid in advance and decided to move to Georgia. (I needed to get away from the area where my ex-husband and I lived) I got a job pretty quickly once I moved but within a month of working there, I’d gotten assaulted by a patron of the restaurant I worked at. The next day, I quit. I didn’t want to run the risk of that happening again, not to mention work at a place where management didn’t care that I’d gotten assaulted. Within the month of working at the restaurant, I’d paid my bills a month in advance, so I’ve been okay with money until I looked at my finances last week. I currently have $19.12 in my bank account and I’m starting to run behind on bills again.

Last Thursday, I thought I’d found a new job that would allow me to work from home, it paid very well and I was excited to start my online training. Yesterday, I found out that it was a scam. After finding out the job I had was a scam, I was out dropping off a few copies of my resume to different places and I realized that my tags on my car are dead. They’ve been dead for over a month. How could I’ve missed that?! So, this is great… I’m driving around on dead tags looking for a job (so I can afford new tags) and praying I don’t get pulled over and get a ticket that I can’t afford either.

Today I sat down and figured out exactly how much money I need to catch everything up and pay off a few things to make sure I’d never get behind like this again. I’ve never been in this position. I don’t know what else to do. I have been job searching every single day and at this point, it feels like I have applied for every single job there is in my area. I was so desperate that I just typed into Google “Will someone give me money?” and I found this website.

I need $2,000. I know two thousand dollars is alot of money. I’ve asked my parents to help me, but they can’t. My dad is laid off work after this month and my mom is out of work for the next 6 months because of her surgery she had a few weeks ago. I don’t really have any friends that could help me in the way that I need it. If you could somehow find it in your heart to send me $2,000.00, I could pay off all of my debts and pay my bills another month in advance and ensure that I will never be in this position again.

Though I’m sure whoever this is, gets so many requests but even if I’m not selected, thank you for doing this for someone in the world.

P.S.: I also need hedgehog food money. My hedgehog’s name is George.

SINGLE FEMALE NEEDING HELP

Hi All

Firstly, I would like to genuinely say thank you for taking the time to read my plea for financial help and if you can help even in the slightest I would be eternally grateful.

I would like to firstly state what it is that I need in order to get back on my feet and then delve into the background information.

I am desperately seeking funds in the range of USD $800 – $1,500 and the reason for not having an EXACT amount is that $800 will secure me with the basics needed. The extra $700 would enable me to buy instead of rent basic household furniture.

Now that the financial needs have been discussed I will explain my current situation.

I was in a relationship for the past 5 years, living with my partner for the last 3 years. Within the last year the relationship started to spiral downward with my partner becoming very aggressive, jealous and insensitive. Without going into TOO much detail, I was subjected to intense emotional and physical abuse almost daily. I consider myself a strong person mentally and very independent so this did not sit well with me. After attempting to leave on various occasions, his apologetic personality always kept me coming back, only to experience the same abuse over again.

A month ago I finally had the courage to walk away for good this time. I have a small amount of money saved, as well as funding from my family, but it is an expensive life change and that is what brings me to ask for help from strangers.

I have been approved for an apartment in another city and need financial aid for bond, rent, furniture, upcoming bills as well as everyday living expenses. I transferred my current job but do not start until 1 months time so this time is very stressful.

I hope that anyone can help in any way that they can, big or small – I appreciate it so much, and sincerely thank you.

I’m struggling to pay my rent

Hi everyone.

My sister passed away recently and I’m really struggling . I’m mentally and spiritually broken.

I found a part time job but my rent hasn’t been paid for some time now and my landlord is really patient and understanding however I think it will end soon If I don’t do something about it. I know that there are many ways to make money nowadays but believe me I’m broken and I need time to heal. Not only I lost my sister I also lost my soul mate. It is hard. Please good people out there if you can help. Any donation will help. I can prove my rent bills upon request.

God bless

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.
-Gina

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 5th – 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.

Hubby and I both have serious medical issues

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.
