Hello to whoever may be reading this! Our names are Kirsten Terry and DeVaughn Prenters, but you can call us Kat & Bat. First off, I want to tell you how grateful I am for you even taking the time to read my story.  

We are looking to get a donation of around 5,000 to be able to ensure one full month of bills can be paid and initial deposits for the move while we get jobs and move in. We are saving every penny we can, but we are in desperate need of help and anything would be greatly appreciated.

I HAVE MADE MAIN REASONS WE NEED HELP IN BOLD IF YOU WISH TO SKIM:

My boyfriend of 6 years, DeVaughn, and I are trying to get some assistance with relocating to Colorado. We left Atlanta, GA a little over a year ago after I experienced something traumatic in our own apartment that made it so I could not mentally or emotionally handle living there or even within the city. My amazing boyfriend stuck by me even though my decision to leave so swiftly and put us out of jobs and a home. We both already contemplating moving to the west side of the country before the incident but were still undecided about where exactly would be best for us and hadn’t set aside any money for the move yet. Once the incident occurred, I was not in a healthy state of mind and we had decided that it would be better to live out of our vehicle and get away than to stay.

When we first decided on our course of action, we had a small beat-up Toyota Camry and knew that wasn’t a feasible vehicle for 2 people to live out of, so we went about trading our car outright for a larger vehicle. We got lucky and found someone on Craigslist willing to trade that night for a Dodge Grand Caravan. We ran into some issues with the van and had to get a credit card to get the van ready for the road and living out of it. Once we got the larger vehicle, we got rid of practically everything, trying to sell as much as we could. Then we took the seats out of the van and created a space for a futon mattress to fit and a small cargo area for the few belongings we had left out of a cheap piece of plywood and some 2x4s. We bought the cheapest storage bag for our roof and a bike rack for our bikes since those were the most expensive items that we still owned other than the car, figuring we could sell them along the way if needed.

We had everything packed and ready and had found someone to take over the lease in less than a month after the incident. Of course right before we were going to leave our A/C went out, but we weren’t going to let that get in the way of leaving. Then we took off to Tennessee to start, hoping we could get some assistance from DeVaughn’s brother. He did what he could to help us out but none of our family members were in a good position to help us in the way we needed. 

We then contacted my cousin in Arizona and she offered to take us in while we got back on our feet. Now we had to find a way to get there and we were already barely surviving with the money we had. We were driving for Postmates (a delivery service similar to Uber Eats) to make some money, but with the amount of gas the van required, all our money was going right back to that. I still had some available space on a credit card and got the maximum spending allowance bumped up to ensure we could get to Arizona. By the time we arrived, we had maxed out that card along with another credit card and had absolutely no funds. 

Arriving in the dead of Summer with no A/C in the hot desert of Arizona was not a fun experience. After we arrived we had a week of record-breaking heat, but that wasn’t going to stop us! The day after getting here, we got straight to job hunting! Putting out at least 10 resumes a day in person and countless online applications, DeVaughn was hired at 2 places within the week. I, on the other hand, couldn’t find a position for 2-3 weeks. As soon as we were hired, we worked as often as we could to get some money to at least pay our phone bills and minimum credit card payments.

We were in our own cheap studio apartment in 3 months and had traded in our van (that was in pretty bad shape) and financed a certified-used Honda Civic since they are reliable and we no longer needed to live out of it.

I still wasn’t in the best state of well being and hated being alone in the apartment. We decided to get a pet to help with my emotional and mental state and with us being in such a small space of 400 square feet, we thought a cat would be the best fit. That’s when we got Alfred, he has been extremely beneficial for me and makes me feel like I am needed. I started feeling better and happier on a more regular basis.

For the next few months, we were just been trying to stack up some money, get some debt paid off and move forward with our lives. We finally got caught up enough to pay all our bills semi-comfortably and maybe start putting some money away. Then July came around and we were rear-ended at an intersection by a Ford F-350 and slammed into a Cadillac Escalade in front of us, needless to say, our small coupe didn’t survive the crash and was totaled. Thankfully we had good enough insurance and we weren’t at fault for the accident. The bad news was, we were young and dumb and no one told us about GAP coverage so we still were going to owe money on our Honda even after the insurance money. Leaving us with no money for a down payment on a vehicle. On the bright side, we were not severely injured but did need some physical therapy and medical care for the injuries we did sustain.

Other than the soreness and whiplash, DeVaughn had severe back pain the day after the accident, and we went to seek medical care at Arizona Pain Relief Center. They recommended I got examined as well even if I wasn’t experiencing any symptoms of major injury. After x-rays for both of us and an MRI and CT Scan for myself, turns out DeVaughn had a couple vertebrae that needed to be adjusted back into place correctly and I had a torn ligament in my neck along with a ruptured bursa sac in my knee. I was out of work for 2 full weeks and him out for 1. Along with some of the initial medical expenses and being out of work, we were broke once again just barely paying bills on time. Plus we had physical therapy for 12 weeks, 3 times a week, which was affecting my work schedule availability. 

We have been able to get a new vehicle and get back to work, but it has been 3 months since the accident now and we are still getting caught up again. We have also made the decision that Arizona is not the best place for either of us. I have realized that I need greenery and connection to nature, a place I can enjoy spending more time outdoors along with a place with more like-minded people to myself and the ability to advance in my career opportunities. Which is why we have chosen Colorado! 

We knew going into our lease here in Arizona that it was just a temporary place to continue getting back on our feet but a year later and I am already feeling myself going crazy not being able to be in the environment I need for my mental health and well being. We are looking to move in January of 2019 and are doing everything we can to save for that, but we are having some trouble and don’t know if we will be able to get it all together in time, and if not, we will have to re-sign our lease for another year and I don’t think I could manage for that long without going back into a depressed state and my life becoming more unmanageable again.

We are doing what we can to find a job there that can assist with relocation costs, but without a degree of any type, there aren’t many positions we can achieve before moving. Therefore, we will most likely not have jobs when we get there and want to try and save an extra months worth of finances outside of our first months’ rent/utilities and deposits. So that is why we are reaching out for help, any little bit would make a huge difference to us. I know for some, it wouldn’t seem like a need to move, but it really is for us and our overall well being and I hope you can see that from my story and see it in your heart to help me and my boyfriend get where we want and need to be.  Your support would mean the world to us!

Even though this story is relatively long, it is only the main points and if you want to ask me further questions about my story or anything at all, feel free to contact me.

Thank you so much for your donation or even taking the time to read my story! Much love!

Hi, Thanks for taking a moment to read this post. My spouse has been out of work since late May with a still undetermined medical condition. She has been to her regular doctor, ER, neurologist and now is being seen by a cardiologist. I’m 42 and she’s 39 so all this was very unexpected. She has had two MRI’s and is now wearing a heart monitor to try and determine what is the underlying cause of her condition. The pic I included is a larger stack of her medical records, bills and short term disability paperwork. The short term disability helps some but she’s making a $1000 less every month than she was making when working. So far that’s 5k less she’s made being out than when she’s normally working. You can see how this would take a toll on us. We are currently two thousand behind on rent! Our landlord is a nice older, gentleman but is getting very frustrated with us. We’ve been here for 10 years and have never had this kind of problem before. So we’re worried he’s going to tell us to get out due to the back rent we owe and then we would have no where to go because of our lack of money until she gets back to work, which at this time is still undetermined. We are NOT scammers or bums at all! We are both hard working people have have had full time jobs for the past 20 years. We don’t have any in savings because we are only high school graduates and our jobs pay just enough to get by and maybe and occasional dinner out on payday weeks. Any money received other than the amount for the rent would be used on her mounting medical bills. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! This is the first time we have done anything like this and have now turned to the kindness of strangers on the internet. We both have small families and they can’t help us other than 20 or so here and there. Thanks again for reading this your consideration for helping!

In bankruptcy, broke, and unable to pay this month’s rent. I never thought I would find myself in this situation. I have a full-time job and have a part-time freelance writing business. The past few years have been the worst ever. It started with my mother being in ICU for a couple of weeks. The small savings I had established from working 3 jobs was wiped out. I made the difficult choice of placing her in a nursing home. That alleviated the costs for in-home caregivers that I was paying.

Next up is my husband. He has health problems and has been in the ICU a few times. He needs to work for us to pay bills, but it’s challenging due to his health issues . We ended up filing Ch. 13 bankruptcy for a fresh start. After 9 months of unpaid unemployment, my husband finally landed a descent paying job with benefits. Now, money isn’t taken out of my paycheck for his health benefits. We’re on our way to getting back on a positive track. There is one problem. We’re having trouble catching up with rent. We keep having to pay late, and our landlord is the most unreasonable person I’ve ever met. She is aware of our temporary setback, but constantly threatens to kick us out. Right now,we’re only two weeks late, but she is already threatening eviction. I’m working 16 or more hours (including freelance work)and my husband is working full-time. We have cut down our eating to save money. We are doing everything we can possibly do. We just need help this one time. I would appreciate help paying our $1150 October rent. Once rent is caught up, my husband and I can finally relax and work toward building a savings to prevent getting in this situation again.

 

Thanks.

Hi everyone! My family is going through a bit of a tough time right now. We are normally the ones giving to everyone else, so asking for help is difficult for us.

We  moved out of state last year around this time to pursue a better life for our family and at the time I was 5 months pregnant with our baby boy, Oliver.

At the time he was born in March, my husband was working nearly 90 hours a week on top of having a newborn. He was stressed, I was stressed and it was taking a toll on both of our health as well as his relationship with me and our son.

We we made a decision about 2 months later for him to quit his job after he had been looking for another job for a bit in hopes of leaving with something else to fall back on. After not having any luck for a while, we decided to go out on faith that we would find something and he quit his job. After 3 months of job searching, he finally found something with the pay and benefits we needed. We had quite a bit of money saved up so it wasn’t until after he started his new job that we started to feel the pain of being unemployed for a few months.

Now a couple months into into his new job, we are REALLY feeling it because we are so far behind that we are still paying off last months bills, including rent. Once we get caught up in rent, we will be in a much better position.

Our landlord called us yesterday and said that we have until Friday (1 day from now) to come up with the $600 we still owe on last months rent and we have until Monday to also pay half of what we owe on this months rent (another $600 on Monday). The following week, the other half of the rent will be due, but I’m pretty sure we can make that work.. we just need help covering what is due over the next couple days.

Our journey hasn’t gone exactly as expected so far, but I do believe God can bring something good out of every adversity and these challenges have definitely made us stronger and brought us closer as a family.

If anyone can help contribute, we will be so incredibly thankful. Once we are able to take care of our bills, we will give back  to other people that are experiencing hard times.

Hey there! My name is Hollie. I am a 19 year old college student. Currently, I major in Elementary Education, and I live in my own apartment near my college in Mississippi. I love volunteering with helping children to learn how to read and write before they enter kindergarten. I also enjoy volunteering at daycare or pre-school when I am not busy with school, work, or anything extracurricular. I am in the marching band, and I play trumpet. Recently, during the past couple of weeks, I haven’t had the best time in college that I am supposed to be having. My life basically turned upside down when I was all but forced to quit my long-term job at a local fast food chain restaurant. I was only getting 12 hours a week due to over-staffing. Though I do go to school for 21 hours a week, I was working 40 hours a week and getting paid $7.50 an hour. I worked until 12 a.m every night after I got out from band. It was very tiring, but I did what I had to do to get by, and I still had money left over that I could spend on luxury items. I already have another job at a different restaurant here, but I get paid 25 cents less at this job. Minimum wage is just not cutting it. While I am getting by, I’m still struggling to pay everything that I have to: rent, bills, groceries, my college tuition and books, etc. I have had to cut many things that weren’t necessities out of my life, such as my phone bill, a car or any other transportation, and other ‘luxury’ items. I know these things are not anywhere near detrimental to have, but I have worked hard for everything that I have in my life. Nonetheless, right now, since I am only working 20 hours a week after going to class for 21 hours a week, I am having a hard time. So, because of this, I am asking for any kind of donation that anyone would care to give me. I understand that books and tuition are expensive, but it does not have to be a huge sum of money as a donation. Absolutely anything will help out a lot, and I appreciate any and everyone who bothers to assist me in my time of need. Thank you all very much.

It’s weird being on here asking strangers for their generosity towards a total stranger, I’m not one to ask for anything, let alone money. So thank you for at least taking the time to read this.

Honestly, this last year has been a really rough one. Things started to get out of control around November of last year, when my depression started to get the best of me. I had given in and started to drink heavily and my mental health started to deteriorate even more.

One day after going to work I had an emotional breakdown and decided to get help. I ended up going to the doctor and getting put in an intensive care program for a few months, stopped my drinking, and started taking meds. During this time, I was put on medical leave, but it ran out and was unable to return to my previous employer.

So, I started looking for work. It took me over six months and 27 interviews to find a job. During this time, I had burned through my savings and was dealing with the bill for my psychiatric treatment. Due to some issues with a former roommate it was decided the best decision for my safety, and sanity, was to find my own place. I love having a space that is all mine, yet getting moved and settled ended up leaving me pretty much broke.

Surprisingly, during this whole ordeal I lost quite a few people I thought were friends. Yet, I’ve learned a lot about who really is there for me. I’m surviving at the moment. I’ve found a wonderful family business that has been more than wonderful and I am so very grateful for that. That said, things are really tight. I’m still paying off bills and just trying to get ahead.

I honestly wish I was able to ask my family for a helping hand, but that’s not really an option. I lost my Mom when I was three, and my Dad when I eight. I ended up being raised by my Grandmother. She is a wonderful and amazingly strong woman. She has done her best to help raise me. I thank her for everything she has helped me become and do.

I put myself through college, have worked my butt off, and overcome every challenge that has been thrown at me. And no matter what happens, I know I’ll be able to make it through this.

I’ve been working hard, doing my best at work, at home, and to help look after my Grandmother. A little help to get some of my bills out of the way, or get a little ahead on rent would be great. I know there are a lot of people out there who are struggling even more than I am, and likely a lot more deserving.

All I’m asking for is a buck or two if you can spare it. If not, thank you for reading this far. And if you aren’t willing to help me out, please help someone else out, whether it be on here or by lending a hand to someone in your community.

Thank you Again

Hello there my name is Tres Myers,

Thank you very much for reading this and  a blessed day.

Good Afternoon,

I am in need of emergency assistance to pay my rent for the month of September. I was laid off from my job when they decided to downsize our call center and I am actively seeking work, but have not found anything as of yet. There are two jobs that reached out to me this morning so I will definitely pursue those. While seeking work, I also applied for unemployment benefits. At the last moment(today) after I had previously requested my payment, the unemployment office decided they weren’t going to pay out my benefits at all which sucks because I needed the money I was going to receive from them to pay my rent. This is a rough time for me because my wife is legally deaf and partially blind due to VKH(Vogt–Koyanagi–Harada disease) when she was nine years old. She has been unable to find work so she is a stay at home mom for our two, soon to be 3 children so I was the sole provider of income for our household. We haven’t been able to get disability for her either so we were solely dependent on the income that I no longer have. My rent is currently $1500 and I only have $400 left in my bank account. I’m hoping that I am able to find work again soon, but in the meantime I would appreciate any assistance anyone is able to give so we do not have to worry about being evicted from our apartment. I was referred to 211 to look for alternate assistance, but none of the contacts provided to me were able to help. Even if you are unable to help by donating, if you are able to point me in the direction of someone who would be able to assist in this type of situation it would be appreciated.

Thank you for taking to time to read about my situation.

For the last 4 months I have been searching for a job that can support my bills and to be able to get from point a to point b. I received a severance that allowed me to pay my bills from June 1st until September 14th. As of right now I’m late 2 car payments and rent isn’t looking like it’s going to be paid. I’ve tried giving blood/plasma. Asking friends for help. Visiting pawn shops. Still looking for means on the internet. Not able to get a loan because of not having a job. My family doesn’t have the means. I’ve considered going down a path like exotic dancing, sugar baby, dating for money but I feel I will be degrading myself which I can’t do. I’ve prayed and at this point don’t know what I will do to pay for my bills. I’ve never been in this situation and after this month I want to make sure it doesn’t happen again. I have applied for unemployment as of yesterday but there is a waiting period that will definitely put me even more in debt than I am now. I don’t know anyone who is willing to just help me this one time. Not even for my car just for my rent. $928 is all is needed for my bills. If I lose my car I’m fine with walking but I don’t want to lose the only place that has been home to me for the first time in years. I ask you to please help with whatever you can. I will forever be grateful and this will show me there are people in this world who really want to see people happy and ok. I don’t know what else to say but thank you in advance. Even if it was you just reading this and sending a prayer my way.

Hello,

I know many people have different views on addiction but mine started when I was around 17 years old when I was having anxiety attacks regularly. No medications helped me and I began to get even more depressed with each passing year. This is when the first doctor prescribed me a well known anxiety medication Xanax. Xanax began to be my only coping mechanism and eventually spiraled.

My college degree is in nursing and I gained a job at a well known hospital. I had worked there for over a year, my dream job, until I looked myself in the mirror one day and realized taking this medication to feel normal began to be a problem.

So I told my manager and that I needed to go to rehab.
She told me that as required by law for me to get disability she needed to telling the licensing committee for nurses.

I went to rehab and completed rehab. I felt great…
until the nursing board told me that since they are aware of my problem I must be monitored and not allowed to give narcotics for 6 months. EVEN though they checked the medication Pyxis which showed I had never taken anything from the hospital, only my prescribed medication.

I work on an acute oncology floor who gives narcotics 20x per day since they are in a lot of pain. Now my job has told me this would be implausible for another nurse to give the medications for me as it would burden them too much.

So the solution was…. I was to no longer be employed at this hospital.
Now I have bills to pay while I am looking for new jobs hoping to find one in an office where I don’t have to give narcotics.

Addiction is not always who you think. And not all of them are were sleeping under a bridge. My drug dealer was a doctor, and now I’m unemployed for trying to get help.

Please help me and I will pay it forward when I get back on my feet.
Thank you for listening to my story.

Provided is a picture of me after recovery =]
And just one of my bills that I pay monthly.
My rent is 900, my lab fees from rehab is 250, my weekly classes for rehab are 10 and my electric and gas is also 83. Anything will help.

Hello there. My name is Rebecca. I am thirty yr old female living in NY, USA. I am disabled. I am given $830.00 via direct deposit from SSI every 1st of the month. My rent is $750.00. This means I have had to share an apartment with two men. These men see me as one of three things. Sex, money, & a backup plan. I want to get away from this cycle and live on my own. My goal is to study Criminology, Biosciences, Biotechnology, & Journalism.

Until I have stability and basic needs met I will never have the opportunity to do these things. I have spent time abroad & am intellectually blessed, as well as understanding. I have wisdom & compassion & I would like to help the world. Unfortunately, in the past the world hasn’t given me a fair shake & I have always been giving up my dreams for others needs first. I haven’t given up entirely though. I have lit a fire under my ass & there has got to be someone else out there who can help me move into my own apartment & begin my journey to do great things.

My goal will be to pay off small amount of debt (about 3-4 Grand US dollars) & get a savings plan going for a new place away from the people who misuse and abuse me right now. My lease is coming up soon & this will be my only chance this year to bail from my living situation & get on my own two feet. Otherwise, I will be forced to resign the lease to be able to afford it. My roomates have not been helping me with very much. I will be eternally grateful to anyone who can help me out. Words can not tell you how much I want this & how much, from the bottom of my heart, I will appreciate it. Thank you for hearing me out.

 

Eternally Grateful,

Rebecca

I am a 38 year old mother of five. I work as a school secretary, I like to help others. I believe in love. I believe that small acts of kindness ripple through the earth and can hugely effect the lives of others. I’m posting this plea for help because at this moment my parents have taken my family of 7 into their home. My husband was working for our previous landlord to cover our monthly rent. In working closely with our landlord he discovered that she is committing insurance fraud, among other shady practices, and after refusing to partake in the ugliness of her business, he was to sit through a 3 hour long review in front of her employees, her primary complaint being that he is not able to take orders, she not admitting to what illegal said orders were in front of the others. Needless to say, my husband had enough and walked out. He called me as soon as he left, ashamed that he had left a job that would likely cost us our house. I worked in that office for a time during the summer and knew the underbelly of our landlord and how elaborately deceiving she was in her business. I thanked him for holding out as long as he did and assured him that we would get through this. Our beautiful house that we had shared as a family for 3 years was not the base of our home. Home is wherever we are together. Within a week our landlord wanted us out. Granted, we had rights as tenants, but at that point we wanted our names out from under her. We were able to fit our house into storage and purged what could be replaced. My income covers our basic necessities while we live with my parents. My husband is an adjunct professor and painter. While he is looking for work, and painting for 2 upcoming shows this fall, we are scrambling to save enough for a security deposit and first month’s rent on an apartment, which in our city will come to nearly three thousand dollars. Any help for my family to move into our own place and give my parents the use of their house back, is beyond appreciated. We are good people who are in a tight temporary financial situation. I will return to this site as a donor when I am able to help others. It is not easy to ask for money, but I am doing this for my children, my husband, and my parents. Thank you for reading my story. Thank you for checking this site out and for your consideration.

First of all let me just say Thanks to anyone who takes the time to read this, Ive never done anything like this before or been in such a desperate position, I guess I will just explain the events that led up to the position I find myself in, a while ago I met a guy while staying in the same place and we became what I thought were good friends, we were both contractor-handymen types and started taking on work together and would hang out after work all of the time, he was the confident talkative guy who would talk folks into getting work done and I am a little quieter and good at getting the work finished, over the course of a couple of years he had convinced me to take out loans to buy a van and tools and we seemed to be doing good but apparently he was hiding a lot, taking deposits from people and not doing the work and wasting the money we were making on his vices, it all came to a head when he was arrested for DUI one night in the work van, he spent the night in jail and when he returned the next day truths unfolded about him having other convictions and that this could be his last strike and looking at jail time…

Within 24hrs he was gone, he had sold the van and tools, left the country and left me with no job, no way of making money and all of the debt, I have tried to claw my way back to making a living but this month I have nothing and no one to borrow from, I am on the verge of losing my rented room and becoming homeless, I dont know where to turn, if anyone can help in my time of need I would be so grateful and pay it forward as soon as i could, anything would help.

Thanks again for taking the time, God bless…

Before I begin, I must let you all know how embarrassing it is to be here. I’m not a beggar, under normal circumstances, but I suppose none of us are. My name is Madison and I’m an 18 year old girl who lost her way. I was supposed to start school this semester but now I’m stuck working two jobs, Walmart and Petsmart, with no means of transportation. They’re within walking distance and I can usually get a coworker to pick me up for my first shift of the day. It’s gotten to the point where I’m getting holes in bottom of my shoes! Two years ago, I fell in love with an older man. He used me, lied to me, and towards the end, raped me. We were in a serious relationship until two months ago. He transferred the $25,000 I had saved up from inheritance and from working at Burger King at the time out of my account and into his. He left me for a mutual friend and broke up with me before I had any idea about the money. I’m currently living with my cousin who’s charging me way too much for rent. I pay $700 a month for one room and one bathroom, but we share all other living spaces. She doesn’t want me using her cooking utensils and gets upset when I use some of her milk. This drives me to eat out way more so I’m gaining weight like crazy on top of everything else, regardless of how much I walk. I’ve been considering using Sugar Daddy websites, as embarrassing as it is to admit. It’d be easy money, but I can’t live with selling my body. I hate sounding like such a pathetic loser, but I’ve been crossed terribly by someone I put complete trust into. Thank you so much for reading.

Hello, My name Ariel. At the age of 18 I got married but was divorced by age 21. During my marriage I made the mistake of putting school on hold while trying to please my husband. 3 years later and he packed all of his bags and moved back in with his mother and left all of the bills on me. I then decided to follow my dreams and to go to college for film no matter what it took. I moved to Orlando Florida without a job or a place to live just to drive to start school. In two weeks I found an apartment and also a job. I’m currently a server but unfortunately where I’m working is extremely slow and I have not been able to pay all of my bills on my own I have picked up a side job with Uber and Lyft my school schedule conflicts with my work schedule and I really would need a third job but then would not be able to focus on my studies. I have to make enough time to do internships which will be impossible trying to work 3 jobs and going to school. I am in desperate need of financial help. I refuse to give up on my dream but not having enough money to take care of myself is making it hard. I love my classes and I know film is my passion. I worry every month about not being able to pay my rent or my car insurance or my car note. I’m praying God answers my prayers I only have 6 more months in the program before I graduate and I really don’t want to to end up dropping out of school due to being homeless. Please help me thank you for reading. https://www.paypal.me/ArielRedic

To Whom it may concern:

 

I am seeking help to pay past due rent and utilities. I am at present behind on my rent, I owe 1826.00, my electric is behind 236.00 and my water bill is 130.00.

I am 56 years old and have been disabled physically and mentally since 2011. Allow me to skim over the past 18 years which has ended me in this situation.

September of 2000 I was happily married with two children, helping my mother and sister and nephew. I’m October of 2008, my then husband fell in love with another woman and I asked him to leave. On December 23rd 2000 my beautiful daughter passed away from double pneumonia. Susie had many disabilities which aided in her passing. In April 2001, I had to have my 13 year old son locked up for domestic violence. He blamed me for not being able to save his sister. I fled the State where I lived and started over. I eventually remarried and tried being happy but unfortunately the damage was already done. I was diagnosised with PTSD, severe panic attacks and social anxiety disorder. After having 4 heart attacks my then husband walked out, I wasn’t functioning any any capacity. Fast forward to 2017. I had a room mate, my son and daughter-n-law living with me. My room mate fell ill with diabetes, and severe gall bladder attacks. He eventually moved out owing 1865.00 in back rent. Since he left 4 weeks ago my son and his wife have had my first Grand daughter. What a small miracle and blessing she is in my life. My son is doing his part to help but because I am so far behind catching up is virtually impossible. If that isn’t enough my 22 cubic foot fridge decided it had enough and broke! A friend of my son’s loans us a 14 cubic foot fridge that he kept at his fishing camp. It smells like rotten fish no matter how hard I cleaned it and the shelf doors are broken. I am on social security which I recieve 750.00 a month, my rent is 722.00 monthly. With what little my son can do we are barely making ends meet but thankfully I have a wonderful land lord that is sympathic and is trying hard to work with me. I have applied for utility help but it won’t go thru until October or November. I realize there are so many people seeking help and that I am only one of thousands. I can only say that whatever you can spare would go directly toward rent and utilities. It would mean the world to us. I only want to make sure my grand daughter has a stable roof over her head, and that I can stay in the only home I’ve known for almost 12 years. Bless all of you for taking time to read my story and I hope that I didn’t repeat myself too much. My faith is strong!

First off thank you for taking the time to read this. I am a college graduate, hold a bachelors of education and have a house. I just recently got a part time position as a culinary arts teacher but it is only 9 hours a week. I am going to begin subbing next week.

Unfortunately I am behind on rent because I had a job as a waitress for the summer but the income was not enough to sustain me. I am 3 months behind in rent and have been making small payment amounts here and there so I do not get evicted so I can continue to work. My landlord continues to ask for the money and try as I might I cannot get enough together at once to pay him with my other bills and car payment as well. My car recently just had to be put into the shop due to some engine problems and that put me behind. I had no choice but to fix my car to get to work and teach to make the money I needed. I have been having the worst luck. I just cannot seem to get ahead and stay afloat. If I could just get caught up again and work I could get back on my feet.

I am trying desperately to pursue my teaching career but it is hard to find permanent work in this field. I worked incredibly hard to get through school and right now it is just my dog an I. Both of my parents have passed on so I am running full speed ahead on my own to make ends meet.

If anyone can help me out that would be very much appreciated! I hope to get back on my feet very soon and continue to pursue teaching because I know that I can make a difference in the lives of children that take my classes! Anything helps really! I tried applying for a personal loan but no one will approve me due to student loans :( I currently owe $2,400 for rent.

Again thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope you all have a wonderful day!

Thank you to anyone who reads this whole thing and donates. Thank you thank you thank you a million times. Your hearts are so kind. Hi everyone, my name is Kelly☺ I’m 21 years old and I am a very hard worker. I work any time of day, any time. But recently, my health hasn’t been the best. I was diagnosed with IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) and gluten, soy, eggs, and milk intolerant. I also have some…colon issues that will hopefully be resolved with surgery in the next few months. I never ask anyone for money, since I do work and feel horrible about it. But I have been struggling so much. I had to quit work due to constant vomiting, fainting, upset stomachs through the roof, a lot of weight loss and pain when walking. I have been trying a lot of different medicines, but goodness me, none of them have worked! I’m glad the doctors are very patient with me. I haven’t been able to work at all and I have been broke. My phone was almost shut off and almost had a court date for it because I couldn’t pay it. My parents don’t want to pay for anything, which I do understand. That’s why I am coming here. My parents charge me $300 for rent and my phone bill is around $150. I was able to pay those off until my gastrointestinal tract became very sick. My paypal like is paypal.me/kellyswears. I am so grateful for a site like this and these awesome, amazing people who help others out in need. Thank you to everyone who does donate, it will really flip my life around. ❤

 

I’m really sorry to bother you and I’m really embarrassed to even ask you this but my family and I are having a rough time right now. My wife can’t find a job because she has some health issues and I started my own little lawn company in October 2017 after losing my job. I had a beater truck trailer a exmark zero turn mower weed whips edgers and blowers until about 2 months ago. Someone vandalized my truck to the point that it wasn’t drivable anymore( believed to be my ex-wife and her boyfriend) so I had to junk it and only got $150 for it. After that not having a truck to do my lawn accounts I lost 10 of the 30 accounts and didn’t have the money for rent so we ended up getting evicted. I had to sell my trailer,zero turn mower weed whips,edgers and blowers to have the money to move into another place. I had enough money left over to but a 2nd push mower so I now have 2 push mowers a weed whip,edger and blower I have to haul around in the trunk of my car. I’ve never had an easy laid back job I’ve always done hard manual labor and It’s catching up to me. I’m 34 years old and have arthritis in my back legs and arms. My left arm is the worst the more I use it the more painful it is. There are days that I can’t go out and cut grass because the arthritis gets so bad I can’t move my arm at all. The constant picking up and lifting the mower in and out of the truck weed whipping and edging is very painful but I still do it to support my family like a man should. I’ve tried and tried to get assistance from the state and get denied time after time because my ex-wife was collecting cash benefits while I was working. She owes over $5,000 in child support so far and refuses to pay it. She was working at a gas station when she was ordered to pay child support and she quit her job not even 2 hours after we left the court hearing. Now school is back in and she told the boys that she didn’t have to buy any school clothes shoes or school supplies because it wasn’t her responsibility and told them it was mine. A few times I’ve had to drop what I was doing and take clean nicer clothes and socks and underware to them at school. Their clothes were dirty smelled of mold and mildew she doesn’t give them socks and underwear to wear to school because she tells then they don’t have any. We have shared parenting and when It’s her time to take the boys they leave my house wearing socks and underwear but when they return they have no socks no underwear dirty stained and ripped up clothes on and shoes that are falling apart and smell horribly. Children services has been called a few times by different people about that and they go over there and don’t see any problems. If they didn’t call ahead and tell her they are coming she won’t have time to hide everything and they can see exactly what my children deal with there. My boys have also said that their mother and her boyfriend lock them in the basement(children services says that’s ok) they hit my boys and leave huge bruises on them(documented with their pediatrician, and children services says that’s fine too). Their mother is a compulsive liar,she uses people to get what she wants,she knows what to tell people,she tells then what they want to hear(she can look you in the eyes and convince you the sky is green). I was trying to get full custody and missed the hearing due to car problems then put im another motion for it and the judge denied it. I had a legal aid attorney and now that it’s over if I want to continue for full custody I have to file another motion and have an attorney. So after all this babbling I was just wondering if you might be able to help us out with anything so we can pay our rent and not have to worry about being evicted again. I’ve also been applying for part time jobs and going to interviews but not getting the jobs. It’s not like I don’t want to work and I expect others to support me I actually do enjoy working and making money the honest way to set a good example for the boys. Let them see that a man is supposed to work and take care of his family(wife and children) instead of seeing the things they see at her house(drugs,drunks,filth,they don’t have any rules there because they are locked in a basement from the time they get up until they go to bed or from the time to get off the bus until the time they go to school and lastly both boys have adhd and take adderall but when they are with her they don’t get their medication. Her boyfriend takes their adderall. So please please please I’m asking for a little help to get through this rough patch. I’m not looking for someone to support my family and I just looking for a little help. I don’t have a problem repaying anything later on down the road or even working for you somehow. Please get back to me and let me know your response.

Thank you,

Good afternoon,

This is a totally transparent moment for me and I hope my post helps or touches at-least one of you. So here it goes. A couple of months ago I had a really good job making great money and then I found out that I was pregnant. I have never been pregnant in my life and I was (for obvious reasons) scared, confused and a bunch of other emotions. I found out really early in my pregnancy so I was really going through it. Long story short I ended up losing the baby and with that I lost my job as well. Which I think was a blessing and a curse. Blessing because I was able to use my free time to figure out what it is that I really want out of life. ( I want to build myself up to be a great artist (singer/songwriter)) it was a curse because I still had bills and needed income! I figured it wouldn’t be that hard to get another job, but let’s just say it was! I started doing UberEats for some money but I still had rent, car payment etc. I was out of work for a little over a month and God just blessed me with another job a week ago. I’m struggling financially with rent and other bills at the moment but also emotionally with the loss of life and being so low right now. Battling depression is no joke. I’m one of those people who is always there for others, not just financially but emotionally as well. But when I’m down on my knuckles it’s like everyone goes ghost. Granted, just because I’d help someone in their time of need I know I am NOT entitled to any help from anyone but myself, but it does hurt knowing that you’d constantly stick your neck out for those who wouldn’t for you. I’m also one of those people who has wayyy to much pride to ask anyone for help, especially with how much value people put into money these days. I’d honestly say I’m at an all time low right now and I know it’s just preparing me for my all time high. But as bad as things have been I continue to push and fight for a better life. I’ve been working on my music in all of my free time because that’s what brings me peace. I would never ask anything of anyone unless I really needed it. And I am in dire need at the moment. I don’t want to lose my home due to unforeseen circumstances. Even if you can’t donate I’m asking for prayers in this trying time because I am not only going through it financially but emotionally as well. Thank you all for listening it is appreciated. God bless. ❤

since I was little me and my family have struggled. My mom has done everything she can to make sure we get my day to day. Some days this means we don’t eat or maybe we don’t go out the house because we have to save gas Incase we do have to leave simply because we don’t have the money to refill our tanks. Ever since my grandmother has been sick my mom has been having to leave the house to help her which means we have been on our own a bit and it’s been very hard. When I say our I mean me and my brother. I’m 16 and he’s 18 . Right now I’m currently out of a job because I’m having some health issues and my brother, well his job just isn’t getting him really anywhere . We have to struggle everyday to keep food in our stomach and we do everything we can to help our mom with the bills but it’s becoming harder and harder everyday. We moved into a condo recently because my mom got back together with her boyfriend. Well that ended up in an expected break up and now she has no help paying the bills to this condo and it is the biggest struggle we’ve been facing recently . I’m just asking for help because we don’t want to have to go back to having no car and having to go from hotel to hotel or home to home living with people like we had to do before. Since we are on the verge of not only losing our home but our cars as well I’m asking generously for $100,000 to get us back off of feet and allow us time to be able to get ahead and get jobs in order for us not to reach this spot again. We greatly appreciate it and we pray that God always be with you for sending us blessings. Thank you for your time and investments. We are very thankful

This has to be the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I have never in my entire life had to resort to begging someone for help with money but, I’m just about at my wits end!!!!! I’m getting older and have arthritis so bad, I can’t do very much anything any longer. I have no credit cards and good thing I don’t because they’d be max out by now! I get help with food through pantries here in town and also get clothes from them and that I’m very thankful for but, some better food would be nice! It’s sure been a while since I have a nice home cooked meal. I have a car but, very seldom have money for gas. I’m constantly in pain with this form (Necrosis) of arthritis I have and don’t know what to do. My hips and knees hurt so da-gone bad it isn’t funny!! I cannot afford going to a doctor to get help nor do I have any family left to ask therefor, I’m here asking you! Please, if you can help me with anything, anything at all then maybe I could buy some better food and get some extra gas to find some kind of help or even be able to see a doctor that can help me in other ways. I have no family left to help or I’d ask them. I’m even backed up on my rent and will soon be sleeping in my car! So, if you can find it in your heart to help with anything at all__I’d be the happiest guy on the planet! Thank you and may the good spirit guide you on your path!

P.S.There are more than 1 category for the use of this money so, I’ll select the best one I can.

Sincerely, Michael

• I am a single mother of an almost 2 year old. I have been struggling recently with my rent I am behind $1,500 due to having to move abruptly. My landlord was kind enough to move me and my mom into an apartment of our own following a domestic violence situation that occurred between my mom and her ex boyfriend. Our landlord moved us into this apartment knowing that we had no money and that we would be behind for a bit. We were both employed when the move took place, however recently I had to leave my job because my babysitter quit and I was left having no childcare. I was barely getting by as it was. I have no means of transportation nor do I currently have income so daycare is not currently an option. Getting caught up on the rent alone would be a godsend. Every check that my mom and I have received since moving in has either gone toward the rent or the electric bill. My mom also has her car payment and insurance. It just feels like everyday that passes puts us further into debt and as hard we try we just cannot get ahead or even on track. Any donation would be so greatly appreciated,  and also payed forward when the opportunity is available. I never pictured myself being in this position and especially with my son. Its terrible to struggle this way and feel so hopeless. I know that I need to get back on track and things will sort themselves out but until then I’m stressing everyday. Thank you so much in advance. God bless you.
