I lived with a mental disorder without knowing it and it ruined my life, I need help to get it back together, for my and my family

I have been trying to write this for days now. Trying to understand the reason behind it, behind my lack of will power to do it, I understood one thing: I am scared. I am scared because doors are closing and doing this, asking for help on the Internet, may be my last real chance to escape this nightmare I am living right now. If it fails, I don’t know what I will do. So, what is this nightmare? You may ask. It all begins about 6 years ago, when I was 19, young, younger I mean. A lot more immature, ignorant and yet, as full of hopes and dreams as I am right now.

When I graduated from high-school I rented, with the help some very incredible people, an apartment to live with my girlfriend. I don’t want to make things too complicated to be understood here, so I will simply say three things: first, we do not have children, we did not move because of that. Second, we both moved out from home because we wanted to live together, yes, but also because we wanted to live closer to college and give everything we had to school. Third, we both had jobs back then and the idea, of course, was to keep them and earn money to have a better life with each passing year. We had plans to buy a car, furniture, to buy many, many books and a bookcase for them and more.

Before I continue with the story, I may have to tell you two things (apparently, I like to do lists): first, don’t imagine this in the United States or any other first world country. I live in a third world country; many things are different. For instance, medical services are not the best, salaries are a lot smaller and education is not as good as in other places. Second, I was never the type of guy who did his homework or who studied a lot, but I was the guy who got the best grades in the classroom. School never was a problem, until I started going to college.

First year in my new life I lost my job, started having these bad, very bad discussions with my girlfriend and college went to hell. I did nothing. Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t drop out of school, I did not start drinking or using drugs, I have never done that, I love school, it was my dream to go the university I was in and I was living it, I was living my dream, I had an apartment with the love of my life, was studying the career of my dreams in the university of my dreams and all I had to do was to keep a mid-time job, keep my place clean and functional, save some money and study hard. Everything else would flow, I had everything, had…

I always told to myself that when the time came, I would do the right thing. When the time came, I would work hard. When the time came, I would study, read, do my homework. When the time came, I would be an organized person, a responsible, clean, focused human being. Far from it, I almost did the opposite. And why did I have to tell myself this instead of always being like it? Well, I will get into that.

For years I did nothing to stop my life from going to hell. My girlfriend took almost full economical responsibility for our place as, even though I kept getting new jobs, I also kept being fired or I would quit within months. I tried every year to study, to read, to do my homework. I love what chose to study! But I never did anything to prove it. I kept studying by myself, though, in my own terms, reading about what interested me, developing skills, meeting people, but nothing that could be compared to what I wanted of my life. I started two businesses and for a while they worked, and I was happy, for a while, but they didn’t last much against the economic crisis in my country. I learned a lot from my experiences. I found comfort in philosophy, I started working on my character, on my persona, practicing virtue, strength, I looked for wisdom and while I am not a wise man, I have learned a lot from those who are. It wasn’t enough and I didn’t know why. I was desperate. My girlfriend was desperate. My family and friends… worried. For about 5 years, this kept going. My relationship broke down and I don’t know how I am still with her, I guess she does love me a lot, because the parasite I had become was not worth her time. My academic career is far from over and my pockets are empty.

How do you make sense of all this? A year ago, I used to think that I simply was a jerk, a failure, a joke of human being, an idiot, a slacker, a selfish brute, a bad person, to the core. I hated myself. That’s how I made sense of it. Then, something happened. Something actually really bad but that threw light into my situation.

My life is not the only life that is hard. My parents, while I was gone, dealt with their own nightmares, one of which turned into reality. Long story short, my grandparents owned a house where they lived a part of their lives. When my grandmother died, my grandfather moved out of this house and gave it to his sons. My father, whom around the time had just gotten married with my mother, asked his brothers and sister to sell him their parts of the house and they did, and we went to live there. This is the house of my whole childhood we are talking about. But after receiving the money his sister, my aunt, decided to keep the scriptures of the house, which for some reason she had. She then mortgaged the house and lost it to the bank. For years and years and years my father had a legal fight with the bank in which he lost huge amounts of money demanding or trying to buy the house again, until the bank, in a totally illegal move, sold the house to another man.

This man took legal action against my family and after a long and costly fight, he did something horrible. He, unlike my family, is a wealthy man and he used this to his advantage. He bribed people all around to give himself time to hire some thugs and kick my sister, my mother and my aunt (from the side of my mother) from the house, by force, without warning. They broke in, took everything, literally everything and they threw it to the street. It was humiliating and brutal. They were in their pajamas. My mother later told me that he even took a camera with him and recorded everything while laughing at my sister’s and mom’s cries for mercy. They only wanted a few days to move out with dignity. My father was not at home that time. According to this man, it was a legal eviction but when we went over it and investigated, we understood that it was not legal at all and the silence of the authorities involved could have only been explained if he had bribed them, something that is not uncommon in my country.

It was incredibly painful to me to go to my childhood home and see every single thing thrown into the street, broken, dirty. My sister got her computer, with all her work from college, stolen. Charges were never made because my father decided he didn’t want to fight anymore, specially not against someone so dangerous. So, they moved on and things have not been good to them either. Up until now, they still don’t have a place for themselves, they have lived with my grandparents for most of it (mother’s side). My father works all day but it’s never enough, my sister had to leave college for a while to help the family. I would help them, but I have my own family of two (my girlfriend of now 7 years and an old cat I rescued from the street) to protect and I’m not even doing it right. There’s a lot more to this story but for now I will leave it here. Why did I tell it, then? Well…

Among the things that were thrown into the street that day and we spent the whole day recovering, I found a box full of papers who told my story. Drawings, photos, old exams, grades and things like that. The kind of stuff that a mother keeps. I got to keep them because at the moment they didn’t even know where they would sleep, so I rescued what I could. The box containing the papers stood in my apartment for a few weeks but one night I decided to go through it with my girlfriend. While remembering things, laughing and crying a bit as well, breaking some old painful papers and treasuring others, I found something crucial.

Back when I was 13 years old, I was heavily bullied by another kid at school. This ignited in me a depressive episode which had to be treated with therapy. I lost the year because the thought of going to school became unbearable and had to start over. (That’s also another story for another time). The paper I found was the psychologist diagnosis made all those years ago. I was expecting nothing more than I just told you: depression. But there was something else there. Something strange, something I didn’t know anything about: ADHD.

My first reaction was denial, I threw the paper back to the box and forgot about it. But a few days later my girlfriend, incredible woman, got close to me and told me she had done some research. She started explaining to me what ADHD meant, what was, and it… it all started to make sense. So, I did my own research. Before I continue, I would like you to watch two videos so that we are on the same page. Meet another incredible woman, Jessica McCabe:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiwZQNYlGQI

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cx13a2-unjE

I was not stupid. I was not lazy. I was not… bad. I started reconstructing my life, my school years, my failings at work and college, my failed (on my side) relationship. When I started reading about people with ADHD, it was like reading a book about myself. How my brain works, how my thoughts work, how my life works, what many of my weaknesses are, the struggles I face. It was shocking and, although it’s not always nice to know you have a condition, that you are not “healthy”, it was a blessing. Because now I knew what was wrong with me. Now I knew why no matter how hard I tried, not matter how much I cared, no matter how much I suffered, no matter how much I wanted to do the things I knew I had to do to be happy and make the woman I love happy and myself, I couldn’t do them.

Here I would like to make another pause to talk about the incredible woman I live with, because if I’m doing this right now, it’s not only to try to save myself but also her. First of all, let me tell you something: living with someone with ADHD is not easy. Not at all, we are terrible at things most people consider “normal” or “easy”. We can constantly forget things, even the important ones, we sometimes cannot focus on things that matter at will (like working), we can appear selfish because we don’t pay attention to you when you need it, we can be very disorganized, and more…  Jessica can help you understand this more deeply, if you want to take more than my word about it:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcZuL1jQJuM

But, living with someone with ADHD while also having bipolar disorder, is even worse. And living with someone with ADHD who doesn’t know that he has ADHD and having to bring 80% or 90% of the income of a house while also studding college and also having bipolar disorder, may be hell. My girlfriend, the woman I love, has bipolar disorder. I knew this even before we moved in together. I was supposed to be the one who would take care of her, who would understand her and help her heal and build her way up in life. But I never could do that, I was the worst and I didn’t know why at the time, but I failed her over and over and over again and only made our way deep into the pit. She also has struggles, huge ones, and I managed to break her more than once in tears, screams and more. She has suffered at least as much as I have and yet she has managed to become a great human being. She also had troubles following up in her studies, yes, she has been very depressed, yes… but she has never given up and I admire her, and I don’t think I deserve her. Her story is not mine to tell, my friends, but trust me on this (here comes another list): first, she is an amazing woman and she deserves to be happy. Second, she struggles, a lot. Third, I made her struggle way more than she needed to, and I’m in debt with her because of that. For those of you who don’t know what bipolar disorder is or want to know more about it, here are, again, a few videos:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwMlHkWKDwM

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrWBhVlD1H8

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEDy11eBdZg

Living with someone who has a mental disorder, I was no stranger to what I had to do, now that I knew I had one too. First of all, I asked my parents what was going on. Why did they not tell me about this? I was angry, very angry. I think I still am in a way. ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder, which means I was born with it, it didn’t appear out of nowhere and it is usually diagnosed at a very young age. In my case, I was diagnosed at the age of 6, but my parents decided not to medicate me, fearing it would cause more troubles than it would fix, and they decided to ignore the diagnose. The reasons? Well, I am an inattentive type of ADHD, meaning I don’t have the hyperactivity. Back then, this difference was not very clear and specially not in my country and in the minds of my parents, so they figured that since I was not the “typical” ADHD kid jumping around the classroom, screaming, being impulsive and things like that, I didn’t have ADHD. Oh, I did have it and it affected my every day, but they didn’t know how it did. Instead, they were the first to call me lazy or imprudent when symptoms got me into troubles.

So now that I knew that I had an actual diagnose from when I was 6 and a second one from when I was 13 and I knew why I didn’t know about them, I found a psychiatrist. I was, for the third time, diagnosed with ADHD and, for the second time, with clinical depression. I was prescribed some pills and after a lot of more research and thinking, I took my first pill, less than a month ago from writing this. I don’t even have a month taking them but… the differences between the me without the pills and without the knowledge about my ADHD and the me with them are huge. I would like you to, please, watch one last round of videos, so that you may understand how I feel, how much it really has helped me out to take these pills. If you think it has been a lot of videos and you are starting to feel like this is too much, please, just watch the first one. Oh, and by the way… no, I do not know Jessica and I am not trying to get her views on YouTube. She has helped me a lot, yes, and I many others and I think she is good at explaining things, better than I am. Just that.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNCDwUv_gkQ

The first day I took my first pill, I was able to sit down and write at will for the first time in… years, maybe. The second, I was able to read. The third, I was able to finish around 5 projects I had left behind for months. For weeks I have been feeling strong, full of energy, focused, capable. I can now control my actions and all the philosophy I read and the tools I gathered about ADHD has done wonders to my life in the space of two to three weeks. I am not “cured” of ADHD, that is not possible. I still have a terrible memory, I am still very disorganized, I still struggle with a lot of things, but I’m starting to take control over my life.

(I post this image because the page recommended that I uploaded at least one image related to the request, but I wasn’t sure what it could be. I will be more than happy to provide proof that my needs are real, as long as it does not put myself or my family at risk).

So, why am I here? If this is a “success story”, why am I writing this? Well, because it’s not a success story, it’s a tragedy story or it will become one. Past, wise man say, is in the past… yes, I can’t change the past. But sometimes the past catches on you, tells you that your mistakes have consequences. Sometimes the past affects the present and the future. And my past is full if mistakes and troubles and they are about to run me over. What’s going on?

Well, about 5 years without having a stable job has its consequences. I have had to ask for money to the bank about 4 times in these years and It was very difficult to pay it. I actually have a debt that I am not planning to cover with the money I am asking you for right now because it would be a much higher amount and because I believe it to be under control. I need the money urgently because of something else, because right now my pockets are empty, because we live by the day and…

Last December, to be specific, the very 25 of December I received a message from my landlord. He is changing the way he uses the building we live in, he is going to turn it into offices, and we need to move out. In January I couldn’t find a way to make the money I need to move out, I have until the end of February. Between my debts, health issues my girlfriend has, my own medical condition and the expenses a change of place require, I’m desperate. My family can’t help, her family can’t help, I have no friends to ask for help and because of my debts, I can’t ask the bank for money again. This country is slowly falling apart and not many have enough money to look after themselves and help someone too. This is the same reason my businesses fell apart.

I also need the money because even though my girlfriend has been a saint with me, she has had enough. She told me, and she is right, that she needs to live with someone who can provide to her as much as she provides herself, not someone she has to carry around. She is leaving me unless there’s a radical change in our lives. Last month I found a job, but due to paperwork and the change of place, I won’t be able to start until next month. I swear this time it will be different, that I will be able to stay fresh, focused and committed to it. I have the tools now, and I have medical help.

So, what will I use the money for?

1. I will pay everything related to my change of place. The new rent, which will be at least 50% higher than the last. We were very lucky to find our current place at its current price, but pricing is usually higher than what we currently pay. The repairs my old and new apartment need, the moving itself and whatever comes in the way related to the matter.

2. I will pay medical bills. Both my girlfriend and I need professional help from a psychologist and a psychiatrist to tackle our respective mental disorders. Fortunately, professional help is not as expensive here. Also, my girlfriend has some other medical conditions that need treament.

3. I will take our cat to the veterinary. She is 12 years old and she has been getting thin lately, I’m worried. We are worried.

4. I don’t think that this will be the case but If I happen to have money left from you guys after I do these three things, I promise I will use it to help other people in a meaningful way. And that even if there is no more of this money, I will help other people whenever I can.

The last years of my life have been a disaster and ever since I found out about my ADHD and started taking my medication and working with it, I feel like a new man. I feel strong, I feel joyful, depression is gone, my dreams are returning, my hopes are high, and my will is strong. I want to retake school and don’t leave until I finish, I want to build a nice place to live in, I want to put my creativity in action and write novels or retake my businesses, I want to use the knowledge I have acquired in this adventure to help other people, I want to learn more, be more! I want to make the woman that has kept me alive all these years, happy, return her the favor. I want, I need a fresh start, we need a second chance… and all we need to do it is some money.

Without the money, what will probably happen is that my girlfriend will return to live with her parents, and I will never see her again and she will not be able to fulfill her dreams the way she should and deserves. Her parents live far away from the university, they don’t understand her bipolar disorder and will push her in ways that will not be healthy. Don’t get me wrong, tough, her parents are great people, but their circumstances are not the best for her.

I, on the other hand, will have to go live with my grandparents and the rest of my family. School will no longer be an option to me, and I will probably hate myself for the rest of my life for having failed the woman I love and took care of me for so many years and… I will have failed myself, all because of certain circumstances, because I didn’t know I had a mental disorder. My entire life be will fall apart, everything I know and value and want it to be, will be gone. My dreams crushed once more. I don’t have the strength and I don’t think it is fair for her either. I need your help, people from the Internet, I desperately need it because there is no way I can make as much money in the time I have left, trust me, I have tried. I don’t have the tools to do that yet. I’m not asking for much, I hope.

If you read everything, even if you don’t want to or can’t help me, you have my thanks anyway, for taking your time to listen to me. If, on the contrary, you are going to help me, I have no words to explain how grateful I will be, you will be savaging my present and my future. I sincerely wish you the best, to you all.

Short just a few dollars on rent.

https://paypal.me/rileedawg

I am a college student and I pay my own rent. I work part time at a stable to make money for my rent and receive minimal support from my parents to pay for groceries etc. Every month I carefully manage my money between paydays as I usually have just enough for rent. However, this month I am going to be short just a little bit. I have a check out for my rent right now. I thought I would have just enough money and then this morning when I checked my bank I see a charge from Amazon Prime, which I thought I had canceled in the past. Amazon told me they believe it was a mistake and to file a dispute via my bank. I have done so, but I’m not sure if the dispute will be complete before my check for rent cashes any day now. My biggest fear is this check is going to bounce and I will be charged a bounced check fee as well as an additional charge from my apartment buildings for the bounced check. I have always been so careful not to let this happen but needed to buy extra textbooks this month and cut it a bit too close. This has never happened to me before as I have always managed to scrape by (reaching close to a $0 balance every time I pay my rent, and getting a check from work within a few days so I can buy groceries again). As a full time student, I’m not able to work any more to make any more money than this. I also cannot ask for an advance in my pay from work due to working through a federal work study provided through the financial aid at my school with scheduled payments for everyone. My parents are having a hard time this month (with my brother getting a flat tire) and told me that I should have paid better attention and should learn my lesson. I hope that I can just scrape together a couple of dollars.

 

Tl;dr I am literally only going to be short about $3 on my rent this month. I thought I would have enough money but I had an unexpected charge from a subscription I forgot to cancel and I’m working on getting it refunded but I’m afraid my check for rent will cash before then. Please, just need a couple of dollars. https://paypal.me/rileedawg

PLEASE HELP ME WITH 2 ND HALF OF RENT

Hi.

I hate asking for help. I’m the type of female who got it usually under control out here all alone, adopted parents disowned me at 18, ran away into a 3 year abusive first relationship which I  escaped from WITH  2 beautiful babies, however 6 months on the streets as a single mom age 20 soon turned into a tragedy from having an apartment, my kids and my first real job to my job stealing out of my wallet on my 21st bd to quitting to not being able to pay rent to staying at motel 6 with my kids to not being able to handle the stress the instability and the ending would have been unbearable for me if I hadn’t taken control of the situation for the time being. So  for the safety and well being of my children I allowed the courts to give the father full custody and him the choice of when I could visit the kids which he still misuses.

6 months ago a year from when I lost my children I finally got an apartment .however the struggle and the devil still played with me. My self made Jack of all trade business lost several customers due to the change in location and then my car I’ve been able to maintain all by myself for over a year. My 99 Saturn . It finally quit running for me and no one will buy it and the junk yard only will give 75 to recycle it. So there is another aspect of how I maintained the bills with just left me stranded n my apartment with rent due the 5th. After reaching out to the web for help I learned I could call the property management and ask for payments .well I was able to get a payment plan of 405 due the 5th and the 14th. My roommate paid the first however I have 4 days to come up with 400 with no Transportation, steady 40hr work week, and my side hustled of refurbishing items I find for free along with my housecleaning and Jack of all trade business isn’t producing enough cash to even realistically think I can do it in 4 days. I have no one that I can ask for loans. 0 credit score doesn’t help when asking banks to loan ME. No friends. No family .and I’ve checked all sorts of job websites. Applied for gigs even started doing survive junkie…and I know this time…I just can’t. Help me please. I need 400 before the 14th

I am not a bad person. I give even when I know my bills r due cause I trust my higher power is going to surprise me every time by meeting my needs. I am currently helping a recovering addict,homeless lady who is also trying to be a better mother for her kids.

I got no one except Google to help me when I just don’t know what to do anymore .

Please help me. Know that I won’t be sitting on my butt here. I try to average $30 a day some days I do and then there r more days I don’t but I’m never idle ever. I’m trying to get my kids back and I’m showing stability to spectators who r just looking at me on paper .please help me not loose this place. I started from all my possessions n a bag to getting a car which was purchased for me by a good Samaritan, a place to live which is in the nice neighborhoods and furnished my house practically for free thanks to my sharp eyes on the roads I travel and free stuff on all sorts of apps . Plus any extra cash I do get goes straight into lights average 80 and gas120 and WiFi $10  pretty good wouldn’t you say for a 22 year old female?

 

Whatever you feel u can help me out with Will help lesson my load worries and stress. I’m asking for 400 total .

Family Save Our Home Pledge

Hi everyone! My family and I relocated to Texas after my husband was hired for a new job. We thought this would be a fresh start for us and a way to get on our feet & provide our children with more stability. We were searching to increase our income and for a relief so our children wouldn’t have to worry about where they were going to lay their heads or anything else. They knew we were struggling financially, and were tired and drained from the constant moving and switching schools.

Everything was going amazingly well. Our dream had finally come true. We were back to stability. After moving into our apartment & getting everyone settled into school and life in a new environment across the country, my husband was laid off due to the shut down. Unfortunately, this caused us to not be able to pay our rent. We received our notice to vacate and was told that eviction papers were filed. We were told that we had to pay no later than Monday to stop the eviction and that late fees would be added.

As of today, we are searching for a job for myself, or to see if I can go back to the company I worked for in my hometown, and for a second job for my husband all while doing our best to come up with the rent. Our goal is to stay calm and stress free as possible to avoid putting any stress or worries on our children. We are a family of eight with three beautiful boys, and three beautiful girls. Family and friends are unable to assist. Churches and organizations are out of funds or can’t assist because we’re not in their zip code. 211 give the same numbers and none of them cannot help at this time.

It seems that a lot of people are having a hard time right now. If anyone could help our family save our home and avoid homelessness we would be thankful and highly appreciative. We are in need of $1,400. $974.00 for rent and the rest to cover late fees.

Here’s my PayPal link:

paypal.me/nyktb16

 

Again, my family would be more than greatful for whatever anyone may have to contribute to our Save Our Home/The Brown Family Fund.  Thank you for your time in reading and considering my request.

 

Sincerely,

N. Thomas

Almost homeless

I’m writing this message from a mental hospital. I’m here because my mom kicked me out of the house because I don’t have a job. So I ended up on the streets and after staying on the streets for 32 hours in cold without sleeping I decided to go to a mental hospital and tell them about my situation. They hospitalized me but told me they can’t keep me more than 35 days. Here I have 3 meals per day and a bed where to sleep but I’m worried about what will happen when I’m going to be released. I’m 26 and had 6-7 jobs in my entire life but didn’t manage to keep one more than 2,5 months. I’ve taken psychiatric pills since the age of 13 and ended up with my brain messed up, liver problems, kidney problems, hormonal problems. I have very weak muscles and am unable to lift heavy weights. I have very low endurance and get exhausted very fast. My diagnosis of paranoid schizofrenia doesn’t help aither. Also have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and asperger. I’ve been refused a few jobs because of it, don’t know how many because they didn’t told me ‘we don’t hire you because of your diagnosis’ they say ‘in case you are being selected as an employee we are going to call you in the next 14 days’. And I never know if they didn’t hire me because of my mental handicap or because I’m not right for the job. My parents beat me for years when I was a kid. I hit my head on the asphalt once when I slipped on a soccerball. I felt from a tree together with the branch. My father stompt on my head when I was 7 because he thought I wasn’t doing my homework(althow that was exactly what I was doing). My mother grew me in house arrest, didn’t allow me to visit friends or to get out of the house except for school. A so called friend forced me to drink a cup of gasoline. It’s not my fault I’m unable to work. I’ve tried, did the best I could again and again. I ask to whoever has the heart to contribute with any amount of money so that I can move in rent and stay in rent for at least 4-5 months until I manage to make money with blogging or my writing skills. I have some creative abilities but need a silent, stable place in order to make something tangible with them.

Young person in foster care needs help paying off her rent arrears

Hi I’m Alexys I’m 19 from south London . I’m a care leaver under the London borough of lewisham ( a care leaver is someone who grew up in foster care and is still looked after social services but is over the age of 18)

I was moved to an assessment hostel when I turned 18 and got myself enrolled into a youth work apprenticeship and that’s when I started to fall behind on my rent of £188 per week ( an assessment hostel is where they see if you’re ready to be put in your own flat; as a careleaver when we turn 18 we are given ‘priority’ with housing) £188 per week may not seem like a lot but it was impossible to pay especially when my salary was only£650 monthly. I was advised to stop working and receive benefits but I wanted to grasp the opportunity of getting a qualification and working in the field I really enjoyed.

Since I grew up in the system it was down to social services to approve my move on to my new property .I did all that was required of me , but it was delayed due to the fact social services could not find a social worker to allocate to me . The delay caused my arrears to sky rocket further ( being moved on to a flat is much cheaper than being in a hostel ) .

Having turned 18 was now considered an adult and working I was expected to pay the full amount or I would have made myself intentionally homeless . My arrears currently stand at £1300 .

I live alone , I don’t have contact with my family members and day to day life is a constant struggle . This debt is going to follow me forever until it’s paid off and I just hate the fact that I’m already in so much debt at such a young age. I can’t eat I can’t sleep I’ve lost a ton of weight the stress is making me physically sick .

I’m a genuine person and I honestly just need some help for the situation I’m in

I married the devil

Hello, I’m writing this letter in hope of finding some type financial assistance I’m out of options. I won’t lie or try to bullshit my way out of this situation. I’m scared. My nerves are bad and I’m angry with the world at this point in my life. I feel as if life failed me but deep inside I feel I have a lot of blame in this struggle. The past couple years life has hit me from every direction. Federal indictment, physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, financial abuse, neglect, divorce, lost a house, three cars, homelessness and had to give up my animals. All because I trusted my ex husband.

I once upon a time was happily married. I felt as if I was a queen married to my king. My high school sweet heart. The man of my dreams. Tall,dark and handsome. Man this man was everything I ever wanted. He was the only man that I had eyes for. As corny as that sounds, it was the God honest truth. Every time he was around me I felt pure love in my heart, my heart would skip a beat. I’d shiver at the thought of him or one look at him I’d still melt. He was the kind of man who aimed to please at everything he do. Our kids where happy. They had everything they wanted. What ever we asked for we received. This was a man who would come home with gifts all the time, new purses, new shoes, jewelry. You know the Facebook post where the guy lays out a heart shape off rose petals and champagne and boxed chocolates and a bubble bath. Yes, that was my guy. I’d wake up to breakfast in bed and foot rubs. I had what I thought a perfect man. My kids the perfect father. He was at every school activity and every sports practice and event. No exaggeration, he never missed anything the kids had going on. He did homework and cooked. He was always good with his hands and my boys loved that. It was always dad can we build this, can you make that. He never said no. I even described to him my dream house. Guess who got her dream house. Me!!!

I worked downtown in the real estate business and my husband owned his own company. We where very financially stable. We were young loving the dream. As a youth my husband was I’m and out of the juvenile system. As an adult he went to Prison and upon his release at the age of 23 I told him I wanted stability. I wanted structure and persistence. I wanted a man who can provide and not ever risk going back to prison. I wanted him to work hard every day. I asked him what his dream was. He looked at me and said I want to build low riders ol school muscle cars. I told him than you will do just that. He opened up his own shop and he did his thing. He was the best in our city and by the time he hit 30 he branded him self. He had other people working for him. I was proud of my husband. His hard work paid off. He was allowed to spend time with his family. I was a proud wife. His freedom of owning his own company allowed his schedule to open and tend to raising our kids.

I was at work one day and my phone kept ringing and buzzing. I was receiving Facebook notifications and text saying PRAYERS, MY THOUGHTS ARE WITH YOU, HOPE EVERYTHING IS OKAY, WHER ARE YOU. I’m looking at my device like what is going on. I get up a leave my desk taking a phone call from my sister in law. Crying saying he’s dead. I’m like what who is dead? She says my husband’s name. For some reason I run outside and I’m not comprehending. I hang up the phone and walk back up stairs to my desk. My boss kept asking me what’s wrong, I probably looked like I seen a ghost. I tell him I have to go. I say to him I’m waiting for my husband to pick me. It’s four he should be here any minute. That day I didn’t drive to work. My husband wanted to take me to breakfast so he drove me. I’m standing in busy downtown waiting for my man. My phone in my hand blowing up with calls, text and notifications. All telling me my husband is dead. No, no, no, my husband is on his way to get me. He’s going to pick me up buy me my favorite tea and we have a basketball game at six. My boss comes down and says to me I just got the call your family is looking for you. Let me take you to the hospital. At that point I knew it was real. I just lost my best friend.
I get to the hospital. I see a lot of people. People I knew growing up. People I liked and some people I thought we left in our past. I see police officers and I see a doctor. I walk to them and ask them where my husband is. They tell me they have a shooting victim back there but they can’t identify who he is. No ID. I was confused. I said everyone is saying it’s my husband. They ask me to describe him so I did they took me to the back and I see my husband in this hospital bed. He wasn’t dead. He was alive via a tube. He had been shot multiple times in his chest. Close range. I didn’t know what to feel. I walk out the room. I get back to the waiting room and pure rage hits me. I see gang members. Nah, nah, nah, I’m screaming you all got my husband later up in this hospital. The police clear everyone out except his immediate family. I caused a huge scene. At this point I was going to learn my husband dark secrets.
I learned he was still selling drugs, I learned he had other woman. I learned that the reason he got shot was because he was still representing his gang connections. Him and his “homie” where riding around seen some other guys and boom shots fired. They start shooting near a school at 3:00 pm when neighborhood school age children where walking home. I read the report of a woman covering up her child as bullets where piercing her Jeep. My husband apparently was a monster. His other woman told me. Stories of him physically being abusive ton them. He had twins I never knew about and another girl pregnant. Imagine learning all these dark secrets all at once. My whole life is a lie.
If things aren’t hard enough. They where about to get worse. My daughter admitted to me her father had been specially abusing her. My whole world ended. I won’t go deep into this b because well I’m sure you understand. Little did I know prior to the shooting the feds where already watching my husband. The shooting triggered the indictment to come sooner. He was arrested after his release from the hospital. My home was seized, my cars and our business. I lost it all.

I thought I had everything. I did at one point. How was I so blind? How’ did I miss it all? Losing everything financially didn’t hurt as much. It’s my daughter, my heart and Soul. How could he hurt her? I’m still trying to recover. I’m paying my husbands debit off because the business was listed in my name. I moved to another city just to get away. I’m paying out of pocket counseling for my daughter. I’m struggling so bad. My lovely car just broke down and is sitting in front of my house because I can’t afford to fix it. This month in can’t even afford rent. My kids and I have faced many challenges. We where homeless for 6 months. Stayed in hotels. Ate microwave food. Well I was trying to get our life in order. None of our family helped. I never really had a family other then my husbands. My husband admitted to me on a recorded call that he did abuse my baby that everything was true about everything. He is now in prison and won’t be getting out anytime soon.
I’m asking for help. I’m short only $300 for my rent. My checks are being garnished. I’m still trying to recover from my past and its hard. I don’t know where else to turn. I’m out of options. Thanks for your help.

Just moved and just started my new job…need help with rent

First, THANK YOU to ANYONE who is willing to help me!!!!
I’m embarrassed to ask. I suffer from depression and am having a hard time. I moved to San Diego in September 2018 and was looking for a job until I finally got one and started this month. I have a BA in Psychology and have always maintained on my own. It has just been hard and my mom has been helping me. I went through my savings and she has actually paid my rent, $2500, the last two months.

She was just hospitalized due to several health issues and stress. I don’t want to ask her for help again. I don’t have money for my rent for February. You have no idea if I’m sincere or not, but I am in debt beyond repair. I had no intention to move to San Diego and had taken a loan to pay of my debts and refinanced my car. When the opportunity came to move, I thought it was a blessing. I knew it would be hard,  but I’ve ALWAYS struggled. NOTHING ever comes easy for me, ever! I swear, I take two steps forward and get pushed five steps back. But I still try and fight!

Now, I have nothing. I have about $300 left on my Discover card, $9 on my Capitol One card and $711 in the bank. I got paid this week for my first two weeks. The check showed $1000. I am paid hourly at $18/hr and I started on 1/15/19. My rent is $2500. Doing the math, I don’t have enough for my rent or my car note due on 2/1 and my credit cards due by 2/6….plus all the other bills for the month. I just need help with my rent for this month. This will give me the other money to pay my bills. I’m looking for a 2nd job becuase my income is not enough to support me.

I am single and it is just me and my cats…who keep me alive. I say that because I have always been alone, never married, no children, lived alone, took care of myself alone and NEVER asked for help. I see asking for help as a sign of weakness. But as I write this, I’m crying because as much as I have been pushed down in life, I always manage to get up…but not this time. I don’t know what to do. I tried to get loans but my car note and the other loan prevent that. Now, I’m begging.

I know that you work hard for your money and I respect you for your willingness to help others. I just dont know what to do. I can’t fail. I feel like if I fail, I might as well die and I don’t want to die. My depression has lead me to attempt to harm myself in the past and I have fought to NEVER do that again. But now I feel like, why bother? I always lose. I’m so tired of losing at life. I’ve been doing social work my whole life and motivate others to succeed.  If they only knew what a failure I was.

I’m sorry to write this long letter,  but I hope that you are willing to help me. I’m just asking for help with my rent this month. When I find a part time job that will cover my bills and this job should cover my rent. I am alone and used to taking care of myself. But I don’t know what to do now and I will not be able to pay it by 2/1/19 or the latest 2/2/19.

My parents have sacrificed for us four as we were growing up. My mom often had holes in her underwear just so that we could have when she did not. I never knew want. I never even knew how they struggled until I got older…but I paid them back! I spoiled them! My dad died in 2015 from complications from dementia. My brother is now in a nursing home due to early onset Alzheimer’s.  My mother does not need to continue to worry about me. She is too wonderful and and at 86, needs to not worry about her youngest child.

I know this is a HUGE ask from a stranger. I am truly begging and my mom would tell you that I am very proud. I just thought I’d give this a try. My dad always said that nothing hurts a try but a failure.

I hope that you believe that I am worthy of your help. I just want to get back on my feet and not worry about whether I have money to buy real toothpaste or purchase it from the dollar store….although the dollar store has a lot of what I need! LOL

Thank you for taking the time out to read this. I do hope that you find it in your heart to please help me. I just don’t want to lose my apartment. My two cats really like this place….and so do I!

Thank you SO much for your time,

Winnie A.

Help me not get evicted! Please!

D8019D25-A3AF-4B8C-B68E-5130043EEC96.jpegAlright, hello my fellow donators. My name is Cierra and I just turned 26 on the 23rd of January. My life has been nothing but constant turmoil and abuse after mental abuse, but I started looking up and being more positive right before the end of 2018. I have always tried to be that friend you can lean on or that one soul you could trust because I truly believe that all you need is kindness in this world.

Two or three days ago I was ultimately fired from my job because of a sudden onset of an anxiety attack. I suffer from severe anxiety on a daily basis but I always, always, ALWAYS try to keep it under wraps when I am at work. I have been going through a terrible heartbreak and could not seem to hold myself together and had a crying spell included with hyperventilation and trembling hands. The manager on duty that day said that he had to let me go because I was too much for him to handle and I should not be able to work there any longer. It really bummed me out because that job, though it was only a waitressing job, I grew to like and enjoy! My coworkers became like family and I was so devastated knowing that I would’nt be working with them anymore.

So currently I am looking for a job and filling out many applications but I am extremely nervous that I’m going to not be able to pay my rent on time ( before the 5th ). I have tried to look at various methods to get this money I.e taking out a loan or trying to find government assistance but my credit is too poor and since I do not have a current income, no lender would ever risk loaning me money. I wouldn’t care about the interest fees because at the end of the day, they would still be helping me and I would be grateful for the service they supplied to me! But this is exactly why I am here today on this site. I found it through a quick google search and stumbled upon this site. I’m not sure if you are still active but I can only hope. I really do not know what else to do!

If you or someone on this site could loan me $450, or even $250 for rent then I would appreciate you so much. As I said earlier I would always repay you too! I don’t mind it. With interest!

I attached a screenshot of my bank informations so you know that I am indeed very broke and need of help. Please. I am desperate.

Depression and Separation from family

Howdy everyone!  My name is Anthony and I am a 26 year old student that has realized that depression has crept up on too late.  It started when all of my friends graduated and moved on with their lives; I worked to become a veterinarian but alas, I knew I wouldn’t make it.  I didn’t want to.  Pictured is my best friend in the world, Shadow.  Without her, I would not be here right now.  I would say it all began to spiral downwards with my addiction problem to adderall and Vyvanse.  I have been diagnosed clinically with ADD and was prescribed these medications to get me through school.  However, in the process I became addicted to pills to help me sleep (ambien), to relieve my anxiety (xanax), and as a result, my progress in life came to a stand still.  In fact, I would say it took a large leap backwards.  My girlfriend (at the time), the love of my life since high school no longer saw what she saw in me before.  She just saw a miserable addict that was riddled with depression and dragging her down.  The night before graduation, she walked out on me.  After 10 years of dedication and hard work, she had enough.  I am working on getting myself back to where I was physically: working out, watching my diet, getting proper amounts of sleep.  However, just when I thought it couldn’t get any worse, my parents decided to have a divorce.  I couldn’t help but feel it was my fault.  Even worse, I felt like I had done a severe disservice to my younger brother who wouldn’t even understand what that meant.
I was supposed to be there for him when he needed me most.  I was supposed to be there for THEM when they needed me most.  I wasn’t.
I don’t want to turn this into a pity story; everything that has happened to me was self deserved.  I am asking for help and kindness.  My father will come visit me soon and I want to show him that I am able to get back on my feet.  However, I won’t be able to see him if I ask him for any money.  I miss everyone and truly hope that you will be able to understand my pain.  If you can help at all; I would greatly appreciate it and will remember your act of kindness forever to pass it on to the next one.
Thank you for your time.

Loosing everything in my life

Hello im Carlos, recently we have being having a lot of money problems with my family due to a bad investing in a family member’s company, everything started little by little helping them with little needs that turned into lending them big amounts of money: almost at the same time everything started, we sold our house and decided to move to improve our life, but at the end little by little ended lending or “investing” this company all the money, to the point right now we are even in a huge debt with different banks that loaned us money to keep the day by day hoping this company start to recover our money invested, we became an associate of the company due to the investments, but everything is going to hell, the company is not producing, and all the money became a waste, the rent of the place to have the company, the apartment we are renting we can’t even pay it,  and the day by day is becoming harder and harder, we can forsee a bad day coming where we can’t do anything about it because of everything coming and falling over us.

As you can imagine, all the dreams of improving our life just broke, and the daily life became a hell thinking in all the problems and working so hard in a company that is not working and is the meaning of you fall, the reason of why you lost everything trying to help (which is not the problem, we helped with our hearts and best intentions) we hear the tic toc every day of things getting worse everytime just hoping, working hard, and waiting that everything will be ok, don’t think we have been doing nothing just waiting, it has been a lot of effort trying to make things run and work but they just don’t, we will keep trying but we need the help of the good people that have the chance to help other humans do a little better day by day, we trust in the good heart and that the good we have done, will return to us, and at the same time we will keep trying.

I really would appreciate your help, as soon as we can get better I will help as much as I can in this magnificent website, thank you for your attention and help, a big hug to all of you, stay strong, enjoy your life!

Student in debt

Dear good people, first of all, I am happy that I could find some page like this one, where I can open myself and write about my problem. I left my country 4 years ago because my mother divorced her second husband and we left without a home. We moved out from country to start a new life. I started to study at university to make sure that my future will be better. I struggle a lot because of finances. I am not able to get any scholarship in Germany as a foreign student (from a country that is not in EU and cannot support their students). I have part-time jobs and I get money per hour, but I have to be at the university as well because I have mandatory lab-classes. I went to a different country to work for 6 months and do the internship. It is the best experience I have ever made. With the time I started to get bills from Germany. I need to pay rent and insurance every month 300 Euro. In this country, I earn 800 Euro and here I am paying about 300 Euro for rent. With the time I got so many problems with bills that I needed to ask other people for money, which helped me a lot. One work colleague gave me 400 Euro to try to pay for one month at least and I am very grateful, but now I need to pay back this debt to her.

My mom does not earn enough to pay me and my father left me when I was a child and he lives his rich life in Switzerland and never cared for me. My mom is able to send me 100 monthly.

I would like to find someone who could help me next year (my last year at University) to give me some type of funding because I know how stressful it is going to be to write last exams and to run to work. My part-time job is in a very small company where I work with metals and get 9 euro per hour. I usually work Friday and Saturday there for about 10-15 hours. So I am not able to get enough money through this job.

Debt is about 300 Euro. And rent + insurance costs are 300 Euro as well.

Thank you!

Lots of Debts and no money for food.

Hi my name is Brendan I am 22 and I live in South West England. I am asking for money because I only have money for food for one or two days and my rent is due early next month. In addition, I have around £2500 of debt; £1700 of which is from an online lender for which I cannot afford the next installment of £100 at the end of the month (I originally borrowed £1000 and the rest is interest). The rest of my debt is to friends and family who are starting to get impatient too.

The reason I have had to borrow so much is that I lost my job at a warehouse in early December because I took an unplanned trip to see my Dad who lives in Germany and has been suffering with depression and loneliness and who’s mental state had taken a turn for the worse. Since I planned the trip only a few days before I left, my employers at the time fired me. I knew at the time that I couldn’t afford to take the trip and lose my job but knew my Dad would hugely appreciate my visit and I believed his well-being to be more important. I didn’t tell him about my financial situation because I know he can’t afford to help and he may have said that I shouldn’t come.

Since the beginning of January I have been looking for a job. I have been applying for lots of jobs and signed up for many agencies but as yet I have been unsuccessful despite a willingness to do pretty much any job at this point. I am optimistic that I will get a job soon but even so I would have no money until I get paid and even then I wouldn’t be nearly enough to cover everything.

To tell you a little more about what I’ve been up to recently, until June last year I was a student studying maths, unfortunately after the second year I failed. Over the summer I worked various jobs such as painting and labouring on a construction site before the job at the aforementioned warehouse. More recently, I have decided to try to return to university next year and I have just finished the applications.

£2000 pounds would alleviate all my stress and get everything back on track. However, any donation would be greatly appreciated even if its only enough to buy food for the week. I would be ever grateful to anyone to decides to donate.

A supplication for rent

This particular situation is quite humbling and embarrassing; imploring the grace of people unknown. I am more known for being on the other side of the equation.

One may ask how this all culminated to a ‘critical mass’ situation. myphoto (1).jpg

Over the last few months, I was driving for Amazon Flex as an individual contractor (1099). Even though it was a highly competitive arena due to how the work offers are presented (notifications sent randomly via their app), there was enough work to pay the rent and some of the bills. In the meantime, I was looking for work with a longer shelf life. I knew that once the holiday season was to end, so would the available work through Amazon. (Amazon has its own fleet of W-2 driver associates as well as contracted companies who have bidded for a percentage of the deliveries.)

Why didn’t I also drive for Uber or the like? And, why am I not doing that now for the interim? ……No car. Lost that to Capital One on December 23rd.

I applied for an Uber partner position about three or four years ago. My application had been pending review for the whole time. At the time, no biggy. I had moved on to other things.

What was devastating, is that in last October when there was a mysterious lapse of Amazon work, I followed up on the whole Uber thing only to find out that they could not ‘partner’ with me due to a background check with Checkr. I have a near flawless driving record and no criminal history whatsoever. I then followed up with Checkr who apologized for the misunderstanding.

I look back on the countless applications I have submitted over the past few years with companies who have resourced Checkr.

Life before all of this used to be pretty good. Bachelor’s degree. I got to travel and do things some people may never get the chance to do. I worked in various capacities for 15 years at a well-renowned banking institution, having started in humble beginnings as an operations clerk. Before that, I had a little (home garage) screen-printing business in Albuquerque with a friend. I was surrounded by encouraging artistic, creative people.

Though I now live in Arizona (again), I had to resign from the aforementioned banking career when I moved to Ohio for familial reasons. A career-crippling move at the age of 46 in 2010, especially when the real wrench-in-the-works wasn’t realized until the summer of 2014, when I attempted to rekindle the magic back in Arizona.

We were boarding my wife’s stepfather from August 2007 through 2010. Each time we moved (3 times), he would have to register his address. You’ll have to really connect the dots on this detail. Nonetheless, his status or classification (generalized by address not by name, keep in mind) had been revealed in the summer of 2014, upon a job for which I applied via Corporate Job Bank whom was requiring previous addresses.

I have little regrets for helping him out. I just wish I could have known to better prepare myself. On account of that, the quality of the pitiful few job offers I have received has greatly diminished. My curriculum vitae has taken a beating. There’s no vita in it now.

So there you have it. I am not stagnating, even though in my catatonic state of frenzy, it is hard to conceptually function. I’ve never had to compose anything like this before. I was hoping to be more cerebral, making analogies between consequence and quantum entanglement.

Even though I do not like to think that there is a reciprocal kharma/dharma equal sign to the many times I have paid it forward or given namelessly, I hope someone is listening (in this case, reading).

Domestic violence victim and single mother of two daughter.

Hello my name is Diana. I’m not sure how to start, but last year August 1st 2018, I finally stood up to my abuser. He was emotionally mentally and physically abusing me. He is also the father of my children. I had a wonderful job that I loved going to everyday. My abuser withheld me from going to my job for fear that I would tell somebody what was going on within my home. On August 1st when I finally walked into a police station and told them what was going on, I learned that he was not only abusing myself but he was abusing my nine-year-old beautiful little girl. We cried and held each other and I asked her why she didn’t tell Mommy, she told me that he said if she did he would hurt mommy more. Unfortunately my nine-year-old and four-year-old have witnessed multiple incidents. I’m happy to say that he is incarcerated he is charged with holding against will, two counts of child endangerment, terrorist threats, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and rape. For the time being he cannot harm my daughter’s or me. I do have a finalized restraining order on him, but he has already made threats of others doing what he couldn’t finish. I can still hear him in my head saying one day my children will be motherless. It has been a couple months since he went away and I’ve been struggling just to pay my rent and bills and to give my children a Christmas. Somehow I did, but now it is all catching up to me and I can’t even pay my rent for January. I am on unemployment and I do receive food stamps from the state but it’s just not enough. My rent is $775 each month and I only get $600 from unemployment which is about to end. Thank God my job said I can come back to work. In mean time I do need help. My landlord is well aware of my situation and what my children and I have been through but at the end of the day they need to get paid. I’m only asking help for January and February’s rent. February 15th I do go back to work. I work at Target and I do enjoy my job. I’ve never called out. I’ve even taken on extra shifts. If anybody could help me with just these two months rent I will truly appreciate it. I’ve been trying to keep my head held high and a smile on my face not just for me but for my two beautiful daughters. They look up to me every single day. I want and need to show my daughters everyday you stand up strong and you love yourself. Being able to pay off these two month will lift so much stress off my shoulders. Thank you for reading my story and God bless.

Please help me get on my feet

I graduated from High School a few months ago, and everything was working in my favor. I had been working at McDonald’s, where I was offered a leave of absence while I went to the college of my dreams. I did one semester of college, and got a job at the McDonald’s there. The management wasn’t great and I was genuinely afraid of a few of them, but I needed the money. At first, everything was fine, but then family troubles started up back home. My father was abusive towards me, and I had told my older sister just before I left for school. She took matters into her own hands, and told everyone in the extended family (we’re unusually close) that he had abused me and that she didn’t want anyone to talk about him around her.I was told that by the time I came back for Thanksgiving, I needed to take a side. I’d already had depression for a few years, and I was no longer able to be on my Mom’s insurance, so I couldn’t afford my prescription anymore. The stress of college, my job, and all of the family drama exacerbated my depression. Eventually, I couldn’t get out of bed. I quit my job, and I flunked out after one semester. Both my parents moved when I went to school, and I had been told I’d have my job waiting for me in my home town, so I’ve been staying with a friend since December, but she’s still in high school and I’m really just a burden on her family. The manager who offered me the leave of absence was apparently breaking the rules and had quit, so I no longer had a job. With all the tension, none of my family will let me stay with them, and the shelter in town has a waiting list. I’ve been applying for new jobs and have had some interviews as well as being accepted for a part time position, but that doesn’t start for a few weeks and I’m running very low on gas money. Ironically, it’s to the point that I don’t have enough money to go to job interviews. I’m in debt from my semester at college, especially since I lost my scholarships, and I need to get an apartment as soon as possible. I’ll also need to buy a bed and other furniture once I get one, but that’s not nearly as high up on my list of priorities. For now, I’d just like to get back on my feet so I can take care of myself without burdening others. Thank you for any help you can give.

Help us stay in our apartment

Hi, I’m Casey. I live in a small 2 bedroom with my partner, Sabrina, and our cat. We both came from very emotionally abusive families that were making our health spiral down. We managed to get a place, but this first month will be tricky. I used my whole savings on the deposit and first month’s rent, so I don’t have much to back me up. I work full time at an Amazon fulfillment center, and Sabina gets as many hours as they can at a local fast food place (usually about 20-30/week). I don’t have much opportunity for extra hours as it’s not very busy after the holidays. We’re getting a third roommate soon, but next month’s rent is coming up and we will most likely be short. I’m not asking for very much, just $500 to make sure we can cover rent and electricity. With your help I’ll also be able to make sure we can eat, and that I have gas in my car to get to work each day, and any other basic needs. I don’t have much to give in return, but I’ll be extremely grateful. And Jeff Bezos, if you see this, you have more money than god and I’m one of your boys. Could I get a little extra consideration (My humor)? We’re two young, hardworking people who just want some stability and peace of mind. I thank you in advance for any help you give.

Looking For Job, Dropped out of program, Need Rent

I googled where you could ask for money and found this. I wouldn’t come here unless I had to. My name is Savanna I just dropped out of the Water and Waste Water Technician Program, I was so excited when I went into it but realized it was not the program I expected it to be. I moved 9 hours away from home to come to this school and the program isn’t too hard, it was quite the opposite; I just find myself bored with the work and it was always so repetitive. I miss my family a lot and I was a big part of our home so I was only gone for about a month when my mom told me she was moving with my siblings 12 hours away from me, and 10 away from where I grew up. She had been struggling a lot since I left and needed the support from her family. When it came time to move my father who does not pay any child support refused to pay for their move although previously had bragged he could pay for the whole thing. I sent my mom 1000 dollars of my OSAP money to her to cover moving expenses. I’ve been looking for a job since November but with plans to travel to see my family the only interviews I got, I was turned down due to the 3 weeks I would be away for the holidays. My mom has just moved into her new house with my siblings, and has a job she will be starting soon full time. We moved them in on December 26th, they’d been in the city for 2 months on December 20th when I was there. I was so happy we found them a house while they were there. I told her she could take as much time as she needs to pay me back but shes already given me 150 back because she knows I’m also struggling. I am applying everyday to new jobs and hope to get one soon but for the time being anything would help. I haven’t taken the time to look through other stories on this website yet but I’m sure I am not the saddest one so I understand if you can’t send much but anything would help honestly.  The picture is of my mom in front of her new house!!!!!

Mental health breakdown & can’t work

Hello to anyone reading this – thank you for clicking on the link!

I am a young woman in the UK and I am really struggling to stay afloat. Having had quite bad health for the last several years, my employment has been very stop/start and I have relied on credit cards to sustain my life and pay bills up to this point.

Now, I am at an all time low and can’t afford to keep going. Being fortunate to live in the UK, I am given free access to a GP but all other support is at a cost – therapist, counselling etc all costs and whilst I am too unwell to work, this isn’t something I can do.

I’ve recently been put on an additional kind of medication which is a sedative and the dosage is 4x per day, so most of the day I am either asleep or fighting hard to stay awake.  This makes it impossible to find a job, even if I was mentally ready to do so.  I am just such a burden on my family and friends and I can’t see how I can unburden them and contribute positively to their lives if I carry on like this.

 

My partner and I suffered two miscarriages in 2018 and I was then found to have pre-cancerous cervical cells. This has been hopefully sorted, but the miscarriages have taken a huge toll and I am lost.

Mental health is a a serious issue that affects a lot of people and I know that I am not alone in this situation, and I do not expect special treatment.  If a little bit of financial help could be provided – if you are in a position to be able to help – it would quite literally save my life and give me the opportunity to get better and ultimately get back to work and pay it forward. 

 

If you do feel that you would like to donate to me, for rent, food, prescriptions, therapy sessions etc. I would be forever eternally grateful.

New Year; Moving Forward

The last few months have been harder in more ways than just financially. A couple of years ago, I was blinded by love and decided to make the move 10 hours south to follow my (ex) boyfriend. I guess the first red flag should’ve been the fact that he was able to convince me to do such a rash thing by threatening our relationship if I didn’t comply. Things really only went downhill from there. To keep the story short, I learned I had dutifully signed up as this boys full time caretaker and verbal punching bag. I had known for a few months that I didn’t want to be a part of a such a cruel, and unfair relationship but I wasn’t sure how to find the courage to walk away.

After too many fights, bruises, a black eye, a distraught puppy, and two accounts from girls that he had bedded while I kept more than just a roof over our head, I finally was done. He had fully committed to a life where only drugs, getting high, and making a quick buck to get another fix was more important than spending my 25th birthday with me or even writing a card, and so many other things that you would think are just common courtesy to offer to the woman whom you say you love so much. I, as well as the dog left to stay with my closest friend one day while he was at work. After three days of threatening texts and a million phone calls, he even went so far as to slander my work place and make multiple public (via facebook, yelp, and tripadvisor) accusations about my friends, coworkers, boss, and myself, he FINALLY moved himself and his things out of the apartment we had been staying in that was entirely under my name and I had been the one paying for everything. When I returned, I walked inside to all of my belongings either destroyed, covered in dirt, vinegar and cigarette ashes, thrown all over the place, or stolen. He took my area rugs outside in the mud, and then brought them back inside and threw the rugs on top of all my belongings. He continued to show up at my house after I was home to threaten me or just sit and stare at me from his car. In the first week following my return, I had 5 different interactions with him and the police.

South Carolina has squatter protection laws, so legally I had to jump thru hoops to prove that he didn’t pay rent, wasn’t on the lease, never had a piece of mail delivered here, EVEN THAT THE DOG WAS MINE AND NOT HIS. The dog is MY registered Service Animal!!!! Every day I realized more and more things that he had stolen, bottles of shampoo and soap, makeup, coffee and creamer, food, and so much more had been emptied but returned to their proper shelf spaces to make me believe I still had these things. I literally had to spend the last of the money I had worked extremely hard for on Thanksgiving to pay my rent and my bills and then on top of that, slowly replace my belongings by working every day for 3 weeks straight just to have some normalcy back. The icing on the cake though, my work in Myrtle Beach, gave us a two week heads up that starting January 2nd of this year, we would be closing until further notice for rebuilding and upgrading.

Not only did I lose a job for the time being, but I had to keep myself and my dog safe and fed all the while dealing with feelings of hatred and heartbreak from ending a relationship that was abusive in more ways than one but I still confusingly had feelings involved, all intertwined with having no money left because I had to pick up all of my pieces with virtually no help, in a place that I’m not very familiar with and haven’t spent much time in without Jay’s company. At this point, I’m a month behind on a few of my bills, I don’t have my rent for next month, I have all of my college loans on hold, I’m trying to figure out what I’m going to do and where I am going to go with no money when my lease is up in March… I feel as though I’m drowning and I’m not even sure where to go from here, hence why I have turned to this site. I’m only praying that things work out.

Thank you so much for your time in reading and maybe offering a hand.

I Need Help Paying My Share of the Rent

Hello,

My name is Tracy and I live in a 2 story house with 4 other young women as roommates. I’ve been having some financial trouble for a long time now, and I’ve finally gotten a new job this past week (Jan 14-18) and I fell behind on my share of the rent because I had lost my other job previously the week before.
I now owe $770 (2 months rent: $320 each and $130 Late Fee) and I must pay that ASAP or else me and roommates are all in danger of being evicted. If you can help me out at this time, I sure would be grateful to you all and will definitely pay it forward to somebody else way more less fortunate than I am. Thank you.

We lost a loved one, lost a job, lost our security…

I never thought I would be in this position- asking complete strangers for money online. I’ve always had a strong work ethic, and believed in forging my own path- and being a completely resilient and independent person.

It’s not easy for me to even type these words, as I’m going to get really honest and pour my heart on the line and admit some of the biggest secrets in my life. But it’s because I need help, and I can’t allow my pride to continue being a burden to my family.

For the last 8 years I have been working full-time to support my boyfriend and our two pets- a small dog and a fat cat. I worked a lot of different jobs- sometimes two or three at the same time (everything from serving, film production assistant, liquor stores and more). It was a hectic lifestyle- but I made it work, because my boyfriend was never in a position health-wise to work himself.

We lived with his adopted family (more on that later) for about 5 years (contributing to rent, bills and groceries for the household), before moving on our own. His family is wonderful, and consists of two loving parents, another adopted sibling, and two biological children from the parents.

We moved on our own about two years ago when it became apparent his family couldn’t support us for much longer, due to their own financial hardships. Life was good for us at this point. Despite living in our first rather small & dingy bachelor/basement suite in a large & unfamiliar city- my boyfriend was consistently working for the first time in 8 years.

It was hard for him to work, and he never did for so long, because he was born with a crippling disability that was passed on to him from both of his parents. He never met his parents, they both died shortly after he was born, although he has been with the same adopted family nearly his whole life. His illness makes him tired and feel sore, he can’t gain weight like most people and he has 10 horse pills to take every single day, which leaves him nauseous & clutching his stomach in a ball on the bathroom floor, at times. Not to mention the constant trips to the hospital/ specialists we both frequently go to, to maintain his health.

Despite those hurdles, when we first moved out both of us were working at the same time, for the first time ever in our relationship. He was working doing hard physical labour / contract work with a friend, and I had a good job, on salary, managing a retail store in the city.

I watched him battle his illness and get up everyday to support us and provide us with a good life- testing his limits all the time. It wasn’t easy for him to work, and I often told him he shouldn’t go in when I could see he wasn’t up to it. Sometimes he would take a day, but usually he pushed himself and did it.

We were a good team, saving money and starting to build our own independent life together.

Within six months we were able to move out of that dingy basement suite into a clean and warm apartment (with an actual bedroom!), and everything seemed really good.

Then, one morning last year, we were just waking up & got a phone call from my boyfriends dad. His dad was sobbing hard. I couldn’t hear a lot, but my boyfriend’s face broke and he started bawling. I watched his heart break. And all I could hear was my boyfriends broken cries and his dads muffled ones on the other end.

When they got off the phone (his dad was coming to pick us up), I learned what happened. My boyfriend’s older brother, my brother-in-law, had passed away from a heart attack that morning & we were both crushed.

We spent two weeks with the family, taking that time off of work, and I got two small payday loans to help with the strenuous financial/ emotional circumstances. We did receive a lot of help in that time- my boyfriend was able to leave his contracting job and get a much less physically demanding job offered from their families church & we attended a free counselling session, too.

However, my job was less sympathetic then the church- and while not directly firing me for taking that time off, I was told how bad it was for the company that I took that time off, and was put on the chopping block for it. Within 3 months I lost my job.

We’ve been trying to make it work, but the two loans I got have defaulted (since I couldn’t afford to pay it back after losing my job) and my boyfriend’s job at the church is only part-time and with very random shifts/ pay dates. We’re also struggling with our day-to-day bills & rent.

I have a creditor knocking at my door, and the most work I’ve been getting is part-time serving work, not enough to make ends meet, hardly enough to keep food on our plates. Not to mention the grieving process for both me and him is still quite overwhelming, as the loss was unexpected and still pretty fresh. I can’t imagine what my boyfriend is going through, losing a family member while confronting his own health issues daily. I know for him life feels hopeless, and I don’t want this debt to be an added pressure on him.

We’re not in the hole by a lot of money, $800- 1,000 CAD is all that we need to get our finances straightened out, but anything helps in a situation like this. I know it seems like a small amount, but when you have bills to pay on top of that, and health issues & grievance… It starts to feel like that thousand dollars will always be hanging over our heads. (Posted a photo of some, not all, debts).

If there is anyone out there who is in a position to help a small family who has been through a lot over the last few months, there would be no way we could repay you in terms of what you will have given us emotionally. Thanks to all who read and God bless.

Donate and help me out

Hi everyone

I want to start of by saying thank you for taking the time to read my story. I am a 26 year old going through an economic hardship, which is affecting my education  and my work life. I am trying to go back to school , so I can obtain a professional career that will get me out of this financial distress. How ever, it’s hard when I have rent, bills, and school loans to pay for. Unfortunately I don’t live in a household with two parents who help me financially. My mother who has been a single mother my whole life, has tried her best to help me the first two years in college,, but i noticed that it wasn’t something she couldn’t do. She went from living in own her apartment to renting a room so that she can help me. So I stopped receiving money from her.

I graduated with an undergrad, but I want to go back to school and obtain and Master degree. The professional career I want to obtain requires I have a Masters degree. How ever, every time I want to go back to school, I can’t work full time. It is very important that I have enough time to even study. While being in undergrad i was barely passing my classes because I had to work so much. If I don’t work it will hard for me to pay loans back, my bills, and rent. Due to this I have maxed out the only credit card I had to help me, which is now taking me for ever to pay back. I currently have a job, which I am grateful for, but I am not paid enough. Regardless if I have a bachelors, they wont give me a higher raise. Also. depending on the census of the company. I sometimes don’t even get enough hours. Which really stresses me out

I am so tired of this, I wish I had the opportunity like most of my friends do. I currently feel so alone and feel like I am never going to make it. There are times where I only enough to pay for rent, and Im with no money for two week until I get paid again. I am not asking for something specific amount because I already feel bad enough asking for money. But anything would help. Even if its $5, $10, or $20. I am the first child from my entire family who is at least trying to go school. I pushed myself hard for so many years. But when you barely have enough money for to pay for rent and bills. How will I be able to pay for gas, food, and school supplies. Please help me, so I can fulfill my dreams, and help the next generation in my family also have this great opportunity. Thank you once again, and God Bless you.

The weight of it all

IMG_2051.jpg

Hello. I’ll try to be simple. I really don’t like people feeling sorry for me but this site seems like a bunch of really nice people just looking to help out. I can see how scammers and people would try to take advantage here. Thats not my goal

I, like many other American millennial, I grew up under a big screen. I used the media to run away from my problems. From that perspective, it seems sad. But I truly believe that’s how some of the greatest artists of all time are made.

The problem and at the same time beautiful fact is that EVERYONE wants to pursue this life. Due to the dream being so public on shows like American idol, the pursuit for fame fueled me.

I wanted to do it all. Which I did. I wrote music in high school and won state awards for it. When I ventured into acting I brought my school its first state speech championship. I always had trouble finding balance between my band and writing music for it and my new found love for the arts. I was VERY good at both! I found some success in LA making my way onto Glee for a very small part. It was a taste of a life I knew I wanted, but could not emotionally or financially at such a young age.

10 years later, here I am. I fell in love with a girl and we currently live together. I want to marry her.

This past year has been the most productive I’ve ever had. I was severely depressed and diagnosed with extreme adhd. It was hard for me to do but I got healthcare because I was more depressed than I had ever been. The doctor explained that this is what could make me creative but this is also why I’ve had a hard time with follow through. Since seeking help I opened up my own business singing at parties and events. I got TREMENDOUS feedback and things were going so well and for the first time! I was bringing home the bills WHILE doing what I love. I even played at the prestigious London house downtown Chicago on Wacker Drive. I also launched my own podcast on Apple to reach out to others like me who have depression and love to play games instead of drinking or doing drugs. I want to spread a positive message to people and show them theres always another way.

In December I lined up a reoccurring gig at a very nice restaurant i my area. A week in I got a whooping cough and it gave me the WORST laringiits I have EVER had. My voice hasn’t been the same and I missed out on thousands if not more and buried my relationship with the owner. One day I went to see spiderman with a free movie pass I had with next to no gas, and my bank as it looked in the picture. I got to the counter and the girl asked if I had the dollar for tax. I went back to the car for change and thats when I broke down. Im SO done being in this position,

I know that I’m special. I have follow through I’m extremely talented and I can say this because Ive gotten bad feedback when I started. I know a fake compliment and 20 dollar tips have become A LOT more frequent.

I will never give up on my dream as long as I have my talent. While living with this mentality alone is ok, I need to give my girlfriend financial security. She’s the best thing I’ve ever had. Which is why im looking for an hourly job to hold us over.

Every support system in my life believes in me and I couldn’t be more thankful. I am drowning in debt and my rent is past due. I know I can get myself out of this with a push. Right now its hard to leave the house or record an episode because of the weight of these problems. Im an emotional person who bears a lot of feeling. Im hurting because I cant work right now the way I know how. If you can help, thanks. I appreciate you reading and if all you can spare is a prayer, that will do just fine. Have a nice day and thank you.

Assistance with RENT and other bills

I am a stay at home mother to my three boys, ages 10, 7 and 2 and my two step children, ages 9 and 8, in all we are a family of seven. We live in a tiny town with barely 300 people and a serious lack of employment opportunities. My husband typically works 12 to 14 hour days for 5 to 6 days a week but during the month of December his hours were drastically cut back to practically in half of what he usually works. His check when it came in, was nowhere even close enough to cover rent let alone barely cover a couple smaller bills we had for the month plus food. Now we have till the 15th of January to come up with rent and also money to cover a couple more bills, food and gas. We are just looking for assistance for this month as I am starting back to college this month and will have financial aid coming in next month and then taxes to help us get back ahead with rent and bills.

We really cannot afford to lose the house that we are in. The living situation we had before was seriously not the best and if we lose this house, which will happen if we are not able to come up with rent by the 15th, we will have to go back to that. We had to move to our current town at the end of 2017 and move in with my mother and stepdad. My step dad is an alcoholic and not someone that children should be raised around. My mother is bipolar and un-medicated. Neither of them wanted or was willing to work and expected up to pay all their bills plus our own and buy all the food for the entire household. There was constantly fights within the house between my mother and stepdad and it was to the point that all the children were scared to be in the house, and eventually scared that they would come over and do the same things after we moved, but it was the only place we had to go unless we wanted to have seven people living on the street. We literally jumped at the opportunity to move into the house when it came open because it was the best thing to do for the children and now we are on the verge of losing it. Please if you can donate it would mean the world to my family and me.

I lost everything

Hello everybody.

This may sound naive but I think this is already helping because I also needed to take this out of my chest.

I live in Spain, I won’t say the exact place because this is kind of painful to share it would be worst to be pointed out.

Anyway, my life is not the biggest mess there is because I have my mother, some friends, and I am alive. But, cutting to the point, I have miscalculated entirely my economy, first by spending more than I should then trying to get back my money by playing online slots, yeah,casinos and all that.

The worst thing of those places is that sometimes you win some amount, then my mind fell in the trap so easily and I gambled more than 3 months of salary in 20 minutes (trying to get more) then lost it all.

I felt like I wanted to die, it’s like you become your worst enemy. With that said I am now in a kind of horrible situation, as my father lent me money to pay the rent and I lost it gambling, right now I cannot pay this month’s rent, bills and even food.

Tomorrow I will go to pawn all my valuable belongings (phone and so on).

It’s the last resource I think I have and I feel like all the people I could go to ask help is gone, so I really feel lost.

But maybe -if you are reading this- I am not alone at all.

If somebody could help me just a little, it would be a tremendous help and light of life.

I know there are people with worst things going on so I would understand not being helped at all but if you do be sure I would feel grateful and perhaps see the light.

Thanks

Artist Inbetween Jobs Trying To Make Rent

Hi, my name is Robin. I’m 20 and have been making it on my own since 18. I worked for 3 years with a restaurant chain. Midway through, I had to change the store I was working at. I went from having a family at work to the atmosphere entirely changing. I coped with being a loner at this place for a year and a half until one of my coworkers began to harrass me in some unsavory ways. They weren’t going to fire him no matter how many other girls I had worked with complained about his behavior. I kept on trucking, making ends meet as I slowly leaked the motivation to create art and partake in the hobbies I love. I felt empty.

A friend had offered me to come live with him so I didn’t have to deal with the stress. We were very close, so I obliged. I put in my two weeks and began looking to jobs and interviews in the area. I packed up my things and moved them to his house. One day, he started getting weird and paranoid when I had misplaced my phone at a grocery store. When customer service had found my phone and I got it back, I had 33 texts stating my property had been set on his porch and that I wasn’t allowed to move in with him any longer. He said we were no longer friends.

I’ve since been looking into jobs in my area, unpacking my boxes once again. Honestly, I’ve been a happier, less stressed person without my old job. I have had free time to dip into my hobbies and found joy & improvement. I’ve started sculpting and traditional artwork too! I’ve been making digital art as my only medium up until now.

I should have stable income once again here soon, but in the mean time, I’m concerned about my rent. I need about $700 to make it to next month without stress. Anything would be a huge help. I thank you for your time reading my little tale of troubles. I wish you all the best and I thank you for your consideration. Feel free to contact me to chat further.

Rent Help

My rent for last month bounced and I am $1000 short when it comes to meeting that payment without risking an eviction notice and have limited time to get the cash without running into an issue. I am putting minimal funds toward food and can positively say I am living paycheck to paycheck to make ends meet. As this is the first time on my own away from home for a permanent ordeal, I am using this as a learning experience to better myself. That said, I am unable to function without getting a little bit of aid to make ends meet.

A little bit of background: I am working in a low income area as a teaching aid. I also have several medical bills and student loan bills that I have been paying on top of rent. I can admit I am struggling but had been perfectly fine up until the hiccup of rent bouncing back and my not being aware of the situation until it was almost too late. I am grateful to not have an eviction notice on my door but know it is a matter of time before it appears.

I usually would not go for asking for aid but I do not have the income this month in order to meet that due. I have tried everything from applying for a second job to applying for an emergency loan of credit and have not had any luck. The job hunt has been rough. Loans won’t take me due to student debt, and I am downright terrified because my family does not have the sort of money to toss into this since my grandmother died shortly before Christmas. This came just in time for the new year and I have never felt this down on my luck before now.

Any help I can get will be greatly appreciated so thank you for reading and considering me. I am truly in your debt. Please know that I am not exaggerating in saying that. I truly admire any and all help to be given during my time of need and am unable to ask direct family since they are unable to afford my needs on top of their own. I am disappointed to have landed myself in this situation and hope that a little bit of outside help will be enough to make the world seem a little less scary for the new year.

Only living to work – only just scrape rent/bills each month

Hi all,

I feel incredibly embarrassed that I am on here asking for help – but I genuinely feel like there is no other option.

I am in my twenties (where you’re meant to be enjoying life!) and I can’t even afford to eat or see my friends or buy myself things or treat my parents, who are nothing but amazing to me. I am constantly at the end of my overdraft every month and I can’t get out of it and it upsets me no end, and I feel as if I’ll never get out of it.

I understand people are in worse positions and it’s awful – but I need the help. My mental health really does depend on it.

Long story short. A few years back I had a lot of savings and I was in good credit. I had an ex boyfriend who was extremely calculated and manipulative. He didn’t have a job, and he came up with all these suggestions and I was stupid enough to listen to. He promised the world to me – and maxed out my credit card, made me take out multiple payday loans and made me quit my job (of 6 yrs) on the promise of a new one and a better life.

I know that was my fault and I was so so stupid to listen to him. My parents ended up bailing me out and now I owe them thousands of pounds. Even sold my car (that I paid for all on my own) to give them some money back. And it still wasn’t enough. I have been almost suicidal at points.

Since then my finances have been in a downward spiral – and I cannot borrow as my credit score is extremely poor as you can imagine.

I’ve put my long suffering parents through hell – they aren’t rich at all and my dream is to pay them back. I have 5 nephews and I’d like to be able to treat them now and then. I’d like to have a life.

I have moved out and trying to live an independent life with a full time job I really enjoy (I also part time study) but it barely pays enough for me to make ends meet.

Anything I would be extremely grateful for. I want to be able to get a better paying job after I finish my degree and live a better life. But for now – I want to stop stressing everyday of my life and be financially and emotionally healthy.

I owe my parents about £4k now.

Thank you so much.

An Unlucky State to Be In

My name is Maureen, I’m 24 years old, I was born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada but there is nothing lucky about the state I’m in. This is my turn to present my case of desperation. I’ll start way back at the beginning. 

From the age of 4 I was a keen dancer. I enrolled in my first ballet class 1 week short of my 5th birthday.

I was a great dancer. Emphasis on the was. When I was 18 years old I was finding life really hard. I couldn’t keep up with the pressures of school, I didn’t know what I wanted to do with my life. I rarely socialised. I was so stressed all time. Riddled with anxiety and depression. It was completely unexplainable. 

At age 19 my grandma who lived with us passed away at age 86. She had diabetes and had lost her sight. Well this was just the start of a downward spiral for me. My mental state was almost manic and I began to feel pain all over my body. The pain started in my hip, across my lower back and up my spine. It travelled all through my bones and muscles. I was dizzy, light headed, migraines and headaches galore. I had developed fibromyalgia. The stress of school, the immense pressure I was putting on myself with dancing and the loss of my grandmother had sent me off. 

Since being diagnosed my life has changed. I don’t dance as much anymore. I dance now just to keep myself in shape and I barely enjoy it. 

However, at the age of 21 I gave birth to my son and actually from that point things started to look up. Child birth really messed up my pain again but he was worth it. I had moved into an apartment with my boyfriend. I actually got a good enough job in an insurance company – nothing too major mostly just doing filing and phone calls. The pain was still present however I was finding ways to cope. 

A year and a half ago things started to get bad again. My boyfriend and I split up and I was all on my own with my son. My parents and I speak often but they were  quite disappointed that I hadn’t gone to college and had a baby without being married. 

 

I lost my job at the insurance company as they had closed the branch. Since June 2018 I had been working two jobs and trying to balance raising a child. It’s been so difficult as you can imagine

I’ve been trying my best but lately things have got so bad that I really don’t know what to do. I’ve lost one of the jobs during the holidays due to over staffing and things have really started to take a bad turn I’m asking for $2,000 to afford my next rent payment and half of the next payment. Hopefully I will have means to support myself in February however for now I’m at the end of my rope and so close to calling it quits. 

Never in my life would I have thought it would come down to this

A Trying Mom In Desperate Need

First I’d like to say thank you in advance to whomever takes the time to read this. My name is Beanita and I am a mother of 3 from a town in Indiana. I’m grateful for the New Year but 2018 was a very tragic year for my family in more ways than one and we can’t seem to shake the stench from it. In April, the day after Easter, we experienced a kitchen fire that left us homeless for almost 2 months awaiting renovations. I had no insurance and I ended up depleting my savings for us to survive during that time. In the aftermath, we lost clothing and furniture. We have no couch, dining room furniture and shy of a couple of beds. In the midst of all this, I continued to go to work and fulfill my duties as a mother. Then at the ended of July, my daughter’s father was murdered and taken away from us abruptly. Because he was equally financially responsible, I lost a lot of help. We’re awaiting benefits for my daughter pending the mother to his other children applies, which she has shown no interest. Because of the loss, my daughter who is 6 has been dealing with emotional issues so bad that I had to cut my hours down at work to be available for her during her grief. Consequently, I have been behind on bills. I couldn’t even afford a Christmas for my family. We are currently behind on rent and utilities. If someone would find it in their heart to help me and my children, we would greatly appreciate it. It would definitely be of great use. I’m not even asking for a specific amount. I’m just asking for help.

Struggling with debt and paying rent

My name is Cortney and I am a 22 year old college graduate. I paid for college through a special program and with colleges. I had never been in debt before. A year and a half ago I moved across country from Michigan to California. That was a huge financial burden to take on, but it was one that I was ready to do. During the entire move, and up until now, I never asked for help from anyone. I made things work and I pushed through.

But, it was around that time that I also started using credit cards. There were pros and cons to that. The pro was that I needed to build credit and this was the way to do that. The con was starting to fall into debt. I manage to pay my minimum payment each month. But I’m failing to make a dent in the actual debt.

Now I am at the point where I am struggling to pay rent as well. I live with two roommate. But between my bills, I need to make at least $2000 each month to scrape by. I was doing ok, until last month (November). I had to put my entire life on hold for the month.

My grandpa had died and my good friend had committed suicide. These were two things that brought me back to Michigan to deal with. I had to go the entire month to attend funerals as well as help my mom (who is riddled with her own problems) and my grandma (who is slowly fading away, mentally). I tried working while I was home, but it was hard to balance everything. So I took out a loan to try to get ahead. And now I find myself even further behind.

I am $400 short for all of my bills this month. I have no support system or other options for help. If anyone would be kind enough to donate anything. The stress and weight of everything is slowly eating away at me. I work 3 different jobs and am doing the best I can. I just need some help to catch up.

I know these things are decisions I made and I can accept that. In the future, when I am better off, I plan to repay any generosity that is extended toward me. Thank you.

In need of assistance to pay rent.

Hello,

I am a young man asking for assistance paying his rent. – I know, this sounds extremely generic, however, I am trying my hardest to get back on my feet. Without going into too much detail, I was hospitalized for weeks during the fall semester of 2017, and found myself drowning in debt, from both the hospital and the costs of tuition. I began to work full-time while attending school, which proved to be difficult; often  skipping class in order to sleep for work. This led to me inevitability dropping out of college and working full time.

During October of 2018, I became unhappy with my situation. I was working a dead-end job at a food court, where the management was nonexistent, and cooperation was unheard outside of each person’s concept. I moved away from my hometown to attend college, yet now I only worked to provide for my older sister. I decided to quit my job and go toward greener pastures – which was a grave mistake in itself. I turned in hundreds of applications, ranging from janitorial to food service, all to no avail. It wasn’t until the end of November where I was hired as a janitor, making only 50 cents above minimum wage.

I worked Monday – Friday, from 7AM to 4PM, scrubbing toilets, walls, mopping floors – you name it, I did it. Yet even though I was finally earning income, my bank account was so overdrawn from purchasing gas, to groceries, that my first paycheck resulted in me taking home $10. Although I was extremely discouraged, I continued to work in hopes that I would be able to make enough to pay January’s rent, and also have side income for Christmas. With all the hard work, and after logging in a hefty 63 hours I managed to take home … $489. After not having a single dollar to my name for so long, this number felt like a million bucks to me, and so, I did what any person does after winning the lottery – I went out and bought ACTUAL groceries. No more pasta and Ragu sauce for me! My ‘splurging’ has resulted in me ending up with literally zero in my bank account.

I am telling you all of this, not because I demand your sympathy, rather, I hope you’ll see me as more than a wall of text, or just another story. I hope you see me as a person. A son, or neighbor, who is dying to get out of this hole that I have fell so deep into. I feel as though I have been placed with so much responsibility, having to be the only source of income for my older sister, that it is often too much to bear.

Attached is a letter from my management office.

I am hoping to receive $650 which will cover the full amount of the rent.

Thank you for reading, and any help is appreciated.49474948_524658841352411_8842070913399652352_n.jpg

Starting the New Year Homeless

Starting the New Year Homeless

A year ago…

“I think that it’s just mental illness,” she said, staring at me with the degree of certainty that only emanates from the kind of people who are the most assured of their convictions. Thu and I had only been colleagues for a couple of months, but she was always—always—certain about everything and, this time, she was certain that mental defect and mental defect alone was the sole cause for our city’s rising number of homeless.

It was a year ago this month that we stood in the expansive lobby of a downtown corporate trade association for the firm’s holiday party surrounded by oversized Christmas trees and undersized plastic plates piled with high-calorie fixings to mark the season.

She and I happened on a conversation about homelessness—at a work function of all places—because not 100 yards from our building stood day in and day out a group of homeless locals who would solicit funds at a major intersection. It had become a topic of conversation in local media and at the office given that we all passed these neighbors daily.

“My family came here with nothing and worked hard,” she added, referring to her parents’ departure from Vietnam in the aftermath of the fall of Saigon. “They can do the same.” My enthusiasm for the conversation quickly waned as she began to spout the familiar boot-straps narrative that so often animates our political discussions about poverty.

I was no expert on homelessness, but even I knew that the subject was far more complicated than issues involving mental health, substance abuse or even just plain ol’ willpower. Did she know, for example, that nationwide just under half of all homeless people were once living in their own homes and that in cities like San Francisco that number is north of 70 percent of the people who now find themselves without a place to stay?

Did she know that more than 20 percent of all homeless individuals are actually employed, but simply don’t earn enough to cover the rent and that study after study links the rise in homelessness to a drop in affordable housing options and increases in rent?

But, I didn’t offer any of that as a rejoinder to her certainty that the issue all boils down to mental health. Instead, I politely ended our exchange (offering something about wanting to try a dessert I had seen float by on a tray a moment earlier) and went to look for one of those tiny plates to overload with glucose as an elixir for my lack of political courage.

Yet, little did I know standing there, amid my indignation about the causes of homelessness, that in a year’s time, I too, would be at sudden risk of becoming homeless.

Present-day…

Soon after leaving the corporate world I joined the transition team of our city’s newly elected mayor as communications director, working to craft a narrative around the creation of policies to help reduce things like homelessness by addressing housing prices.

Then, after she was sworn in and opting not to join the administration, I began consulting on communications projects that would also advance policies similar to those that I had advocated for as the incoming mayor’s spokesperson. But, all of that changed recently.

Being a freelance consultant is wonderful.

I get to pick the projects I want to work on and set agreeable hours. But what I didn’t know is that not only do clients not always pay on time, they, sometimes, don’t pay at all.

I am a one-person operation, which means that I effectively can only handle four to five clients at a time, any more than that gets to be unruly and my work product begins to suffer. So, as a result, should one client not be forthcoming with satisfying an invoice, then anywhere from 20 to 25 percent of my income could end up languishing in accounts payable.

So, in September when I signed a $20,000 contract with a firm whose management I knew well, I felt good about the prospect of being paid on time (in the amount of $5,000 each quarter). Yet, not only did that not happen, but, when I was paid, I was given a check for half ($2,500) of what I was owed for the final quarter of 2018 and soon discovered that there were no funds in the firm’s bank account to cover that dollar amount.

I immediately retained pro bono counsel and was able to wrangle a valid check in the amount of $2,500 from the firm’s corporate office, but was quickly notified that corporate planned to instruct its subsidiary to walk away from the remainder of the contract.

So, now I am faced with some very difficult legal and financial decisions and have learned (through conversations with fellow freelancers) that the experience of having clients balk on contracts is a common one. Yet, this experience has left me all but destitute and facing the imminent repossession of my vehicle, loss of my apartment and even cell service.

I am seeking to replace the income ($5,000) that I was slated to receive at the start of the next quarter (Jan. 1), providing me with enough “bridge capital,” so to speak, to stave off homelessness and get to the start of my next contract in the early to mid-spring.

Next year…

So, if I can get through this particular financial malaise, I am excited about what the future holds because thanks to all of my years of communications experience I am now being invited to help produce public affairs programming for a local leading television station, an idea that has been on the vine for a few years, but that is now coming to fruition.

I, of course, intend to produce content around the issue of homelessness, the very issue I am, ironically, contending with now. Yet, any interruption in what has been a very stable housing situation will certainly put that project and all of my other work at immediate risk.

So, I am reaching out for financial assistance (to raise $5,000), having exhausted all other available avenues.

I am very grateful for any assistance you can provide: paypal.me/transfercredit

Want to help me family

Hello,

I am 20 years old. My mom is kicking me out. We haven’t always had the best relationship but this last argument was the worst one yet. we always argue about things of the past and how she she doesn’t want to apologize for it. My mom and her boyfriend have always been plotting against me for stuff I didn’t do. My mom’s boyfriend was always abusing me and my siblings. I was always the one who would stand up and protect them no matter how hard he would hit me or how loud he screamed at me.

I am trying to get a apartment get a apartment near my grandparents the rent is $900 dollars a month. I am working really hard but my manager refuses to give me a raise even though I have been there for a year now. The new employees get paid more than me and even though they know nothing and barely know anything about the job. I only get paid $300 every two weeks I’ve been saving up as much as I can but its not much, plus getting paid little to nothing won’t help me much when it comes to rent. I am just asking for help before I get kicked out and become homeless on the streets.

Atlas Youth Sisyphus Noose

 

Hey All, how familiar are you with the Atlas youth? Young adults who care enough to do their part, maybe even more, in holding up the world. Well i’m A part of that plight. Unfortunately it seems on my side of the globe the the atlas youth are being wrapped up in a Sisyphus noose. I want to work, study, give back positivity and a helping hand to the world but honestly  my mental health is collapsing. It looks like im headed to a future of rambling on the streets or just fading into oblivion, because it’s hard to be  Sisyphus and Atlas at the same time. Work, be there for people, be there for myself , exist in a chaotic space just to keep all the other gears turning.

 

I need space to get my head in order not be someones puppet, not be driven further into mental decay. I’m just about out of life energy, I want to have time and space to write a book, my dream, so when I cant physically hold up the world around me I can still be a light.

 

I currently physically live in an environment synonymous to hell where the occupants want everyone to be stuck, and no one to get better, have you ever seen people actively transmute positivity  to negativity. I’m in the lions den, and I’m clinically at a breaking point. Even if just for 2 months I want to move into a place where I can breathe and figure out what it’s going to take for me to not collapse. I want to be a pillar. I’m asking for 3,000$ for apartment rent and bills. A space where I can actively heal so I can go back into the world with my head on straight. I don’t want unemployment because I can work when I’m well. If you can help and truly get what i’m saying please do, I don’t take in anything without intentions to transmute them into enough light for a group.  paypal.me/AtlasYouthSisyphus

We all need a little help sometimes…

46998167_10216623550048556_5243629862635175936_o.jpgHello,

My name is Allison. I’ll leave it on a first name basis. I am in my mid twenties. I am a new first time mother to my son Jackson. He is just shy of being 5 months old. He is such a blessing coming to me after a miscarriage. I am also a stepmom to a 4 year old girl named Kendall. I found the love of my life after already once being previously engaged and he already having a daughter; at the age of 24.  That was three years ago. Three years ago things were different. I had no clue where I wanted to go in life or what I wanted from it. Not happy in the situation I had found myself. I was working two jobs in which I had little pride and interest in and had been in that industry for 10 years. Then I met my “husband”. Christopher is his name. He is my everything. My rock my soulmate, I could not be in more awe with a person or so grateful. My two jobs consumed me and I was not happy, but still I pressed on in order to pay to live. About a year and a half ago I found myself to be pregnant with my first baby. He was to be a boy.  As I write this and doing something I had never imagined and truly difficult my son sits next to me at 5 months laughing and playing with me making my days bright again. It hurts my heart to know that life can be so rough and I want more f0r my children. Due to complications in life that details may not be deemed necessary and for fear of my steps daughter someday reading this I will keep it short. I found out I was pregnant and my “husbands” ex takes us for all of the little money we have. Court and custody cases they are a tricky thing. I speak from experience saying how hard it is for the father in these situations and how truly they get screwed sometimes. Being a mother of my own I could not imagine my son being away from me. Our money that we had put away for our child for our life together we wished to start quickly was forked over. Three months before my son was born we found ourselves with nothing. I had to quit working early due to pregnancy complications. We were renting two rooms from family members. My husband loves and is good at what he does. His passion drive and dedication to his job in which he loves were some of the reasons i fell in love with him. He works as a chef and gets paid well for the position. however due to bills we owe that he is it goes towards. With me not being able to work my husband realizing that the 14 hour shifts he was already working was not enough and took a second job both working full time. He wakes up at 730am everyday and leaves me by 9am at the latest. He then works until 9pm or 1030pm. After he leaves his duties as a chef he then drives for Lyft until about 2 am. He then comes home to a house in which everyone is asleep and he goes to bed only to get almost no sleep. I  myself have gotten hired recently at a part time job but it has yet to start and we are just too far behind on bills. We have had to give 30 day notice at the house in which we are staying and are expected to be out by mid January. We have nowhere to go and are going to become homeless. We will both be working my husband a total of around 18 hours a day and myself 8 hours. We cannot pay for childcare and cannot purchase food for ourselves despite the amount of hours we put in. We have all hit rough points in our lives and I’m in mine currently. I do not wish to be homeless. I do not wish to live off others. However this is an extremely difficult time and I do not know what else to do. I also decided to go back to school despite everything. I wish show my kids that college is important and that hard work pays off. I want them to think more of me than the failure that cannot provide. I do not know how to pay for my schooling but know it is the key to our situation. I’m asking for any and all help and words cannot express the gratitude nor the urgency for which I need these funds. My son and family are everything. Homeless is not the way for me and my baby. I quote husband because we wish to spend our lives together and he is the father to my son yet cannot afford to marry even on a piece of paper.

ISO Help Catching Up on Rent/Bills after Layoff

Hi, my name is Sam and I’m looking for help getting caught up with rent and bills. My son and I have been barely getting by for the last several months, and now with Christmas here it’s all come to a head.

Earlier this year, I was laid off from my job as a direct care provider for a woman with a developmental disability. The woman was hospitalized long term, and the agency I worked for just didn’t have enough clients to keep our team on the payroll any longer. I’ve spent most of this year job searching, and managed to score a temporary position that took care of us for awhile, but that’s ended. I’m currently job searching, but am having a hard time as I have limited availability. (I can no longer afford the daycare my son used to attend at $250 per week, so I’m limited to working between 8am-2pm when he’s in school- 1st grade).

I’ve signed up to drive for Uber in my spare time as well, and that’s helped a bit with small things like groceries and gas money. However, the combined several weeks I spent jobless this year have left me way behind on many bills.

I dropped the non essentials months ago, such as Netflix, wifi, etc., and have completely stopped paying my student loans. Both of my capital one cards that had always been in good standing, ended up maxed out and closed. My credit dropped from a 670 to the low 500’s this year due to all my late and missed payments. I’ve taken out 3 different payday loans this year, and am currently paying back a title loan on my car.

The main thing I worry about though is rent. I’m terrified that my son and I will lose our home, or have our electricity shut off (both of which we’ve come dangerously close to a few times now). I haven’t yet paid December’s rent, and have no idea how I’ll pay January’s. I owe the electric company (AEP) over $1500 at the moment, and they have me on my 3rd payment arrangement, leaving me with a $300+ electric bill every month.

My bank account currently has -$11, and my PayPal is over $30 negative. I’ve attached screenshots of these accounts, as well as a screenshot of my rent account showing that December rent has not been paid, and that I’ve accumulated $150 in late charges because of this. I really hate to be someone to ask for money or help, but it’s worth a shot if there’s anyone out there that can help in any way.

Thanks in advance for reading this, and for any help you can provide!

22 year old Trying to pay rent bills and get back in school

Hello, I am a young  22 year old man who resides in South Carolina. I have been living by myself for 3 years and in doing so have found and been through the hardships life gives us to endure and conquer. In no way do I want someone to magically take me out of poverty or assist me in getting rich, I only need a little financial room in my situation so I can focus on advancing myself in life rather than just staying afloat. I began college in 2015 and through the two years attending I dropped out do to lack of funds and not knowing what I wanted to truly pursue in my academic career. I was labeled a computer science major and had no true interest in this field. After dropping out in 2017 and taking time to ponder on what I should do with my life ,  it came to me that my true passion was Finance and investing. Since then I have been independently studying Real Estate, day trading, and basic financial literacy and can say that this is my true passion. I pay $600 dollars in rent independently, all utility bills, and personal expense every month. In recently being payed off from my dead end-job of $11 hour I need help more than ever. My birthday is coming up this Friday rent is due in two weeks and I have nothing or no one to lean on. I would appreciate anything to help get me just 1 step ahead being I have been held back for almost half a decade. I also am trying to enroll in community college in the upcoming semester for CDL and basic finance courses. Any donations would be greatly appreciated and put to good use.

Need rent help!

My name is Danielle and I am a 25 year old graduate student attending school for my masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Recently, I had to leave my job. After nearly being hospitalized from the stress of it due to my anxiety and panic attacks and being reprimanded by my boss of almost 3 years due to the health scare that made me miss a shift, I had to leave for my own good. I did not have a job lined up yet when I left, and I was scared. I still am scared, actually. Thankfully, I have been hired onto two different jobs now, one with a local community service which provides in home therapy for children with autism and the other with Starbucks. However, due to the Holiday season as well as scheduling complications with my new clients for the in home care with the community services job, I have not been able to start either job fully. I have been doing my online training for my community services job, but that is only a couple hours a day, if that. I have done everything I can to ask both jobs for as many hours as possible even if it was outside my job duties just so I could make some sort of income besides the $100 or so I got last week from online training, but they had nothing for me to do.
I currently have $171 in my checkings account and $5.42 in my savings. I am struggling to afford food, and I already know there is no way I can afford my $714 rent this month, despite trying to sell almost anything and everything I can of my possessions. I have asked my parents for help, but unfortunately they cannot provide any assistance. My mother has Multiple Sclerosis and can only work part time due to SSI legalities, and is already struggling to make ends meet herself. My father is trying to take care of his severely ill girlfriend and is also retiring in January, so he has very little income at the moment as well, and likely will not be able to help me with anything financially anymore.
I am feeling hopeless, my anxiety and depression are at an all time high and I don’t know where to go. I desperately need $714 for my rent at the end of the month, otherwise I risk being evicted.

Please Help Us, Husband Lost Job

Hello. I am asking for help in paying my bills. We are a small family of 3.  I am a before/after care school teacher and the next two weeks are winter break so I will be without pay and I was already hurting money wise  because of missing a week from being closed for Thanksgiving break. My husband lost his job right before Thanksgiving and is trying to find work but has been unsuccessful. (He’s even put in for sign holding). We do not have any savings as every time we start saving something occurs that we have to use it up. I am on a biweekly pay period.

I am not asking for Christmas gifts or fun extra items though our tree has none. I am asking for help in keeping the basics going. Rent, water, and power. My internet has already been turned off which is hindering job searching. Yes, we know of the library but they charge to use the net as we are out of county and there’s a time limit. Lack of internet also hurts our daughter as she is virtually schooled. We are using it but the limitations make it hard to accomplish much.

My next paycheck will be this Friday, Dec. 21 for around $450. Power is $120 due on Dec. 28, water $90 due on Dec. 19, December Rent is still unpaid and final notice is Dec. 28 for amount of $721. Car insurance is due to be paid for $230. My internet will take $200 to put back on, though we are trying to find a cheaper way of gaining access to it. All of my paycheck will be goimg to pay bills and putting food on the table.

We called 211 and was directed to a couple of charities but they all said their budget for the month was used and could not help us at this time. So I beg out to you: Please help us.

I have uploaded the picture of my rent statement. My other bills are done paperlessly so I am unsure how to upload them to here.

 

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for any help you are willing to give.

Not having a place to all home for all the years

Hello my name is Jose Reyes. I lie in the Bronx, NY and this is my third year living in a shelter based environment. Growing up i had everything i could ever asked for. I had friends, confidence and al lot to lie for. When i turned 20 thats when things began going downhill. My mother, younger sister and i were forced to move out of our apartment due to an eviction. Ever since that day i have not had ONE single place that i can HONESTLY call a home. for about 6 years Ive been living my life in my suitcase.I stayed on my best friends couch for over 4 years, and before that i had several rooms in NYC that were all temporary. The 2 years i went to school was the only time i really didn’t have to worry so much because luckily my school had dorms on campus. About 3 years ago i was diagnosed with HIV.  I got very sick and at the time my depression had already reached its peak . I had no job or the confidence and ambition to go find one. Living in someones living room can be a lot to handle when u never have a private space of your own. So i was told i had HIV. The day after that i went into the HASA organization here in NYC . They provided me with cash assistance monthly allowance of 350$ and 169 in Food stamp benefits. They also gave me a room in a shelter. Since then i have lied in 7 different shelters. I am asking for help because i recently met an amazing realtor who is helping me find a place that accepts The Housing Vouchers given by HASA. I have three applications in already for three apartments and according to my realtor two of the three are looking very promising. I am asking for this financial assistance to help with moving expenses and also for purchasing furniture and necessary appliances and also for help with my rent as i am 29 years old about to be a 30 year old man and this is literally my first time ever having a place of my room and paying rent to a landlord instead of a tenant or friend.Please consider my story, sadly, its all true.

18 and homeless trying to get my life on track

So lately things couldn’t be going worse. Well let me start from the beginning I had recently got evicted  and it wasnt that much of a surprise to me at this point since my mom passed away 7 years ago when i was 11 and my dad had to step in and take care of me and my sister we have been evicted numerous times either our rent would get raised or our neighbors harassed us and complained about us until they made the land lord kick us out no matter what it could have been there was always something making things hard and not to many people wanted to rent to my dad because we moved to concord ma for the better schools or whatever and my dad was a veteran with the VA giving him rent assistance and you dont see people on section 8 to frequently in this area. But the VA said this was it they said this was our last chance and that they would no longer help my dad because we have been evicted again and now that I turned 18 nobody will help me because I’m considered an adult.  Me my sister and my dad have three cats and a dog all together we’ve had them in the family since my mom was alive so they are really hard to try to separate from.  We have lived in tents with these pets and  motels and pretty much any place we could find. Right now my dad is in a shelter in Boston my sister is leaving with her psycho boyfriend who is on probation for hitting her and she has her 2 cats and our dog and I have been staying with my boyfriend at his parents house with my cat well up until now because of course it gets worse. This weekend My boyfriend got arrested for no reason basically just because me and him were arguing and his parents called the cops and they needed to arrest somebody. With all of the stress on the both of us lately we were both kind of easily agitated and having a shitty argument isn’t a good reason for me to understand why he had to be taken away from me when he is pretty much one of the only reasons I have to live right now.   And now he is in jail and I just miss him and I need his help. I barely get to talk to him and I know he is probably depressed spending 22 hours a day in a cell and i feel guilty for feeling bad for myself right now thinking Im going to have to deal with this all alone when hes in a worse situation than I am in at this point. And his bail is 500 dollars which Im sure I would be able to get together in the next few weeks but we just moved out her a month ago and all’s i got going for me is a crappy minimum wage job at a supermarket and I can barely afford to take care of myself and my cat with the money I make. Never mind support myself try to save up money for bail and a security deposit plus first and last months rent and then trying to keep a small amount of money on the phone just to be able to talk to one of the most important if not the most important person in my life. And I also don’t understand why if I’m not pressing charges and I don’t feel unsafe at all and never  have for the past 2 years I’ve been dating him why I should need to  spend so much money just to get him back because I can’t do this alone. Alls I’m asking for is some help in this really unbearably stressful time anything would help lift a little of this weight off of my shoulders and help me get my life on track and if I manage to make it through this I would be happy to pay it forward to those in need. Thank you for taking the time to read this and understand my situation and if your in a position where you can help that would be great and if your struggling yourself I hope you get through this not so great chapter of your life to see much better days.

Desperate to Remove Debt For Father’s Sake

Hi! I’m Gabby, and I’m desperate to pay off my $4000 debt and pay rent at the same time. My father has always been amazing enough to financially support me for most of my life, and I have become financially independent recently. My dad knows about the debt and is wanting to pay it off, so I can focus on rent and saving money for my future. Unfortunately, my father is struggling a bit himself with money, and at this rate he won’t be able to retire when he wants if he doesn’t start saving himself. I would love more than anything to get rid of this debt without his help, so he can focus on his own savings and not stress about me.

My father has heart problems and the last thing I want is him stressing about me or his own money issues. My mother doesn’t have a job, so even though they’re divorced now, my dad still gives her a good amount of money every month, and I don’t want to be a part of taking his money anymore.

Becoming more independent has included creating my own small business. Though fairly successful for what I’ve put in so far, it has yet to break even, hence the debt. If I can pay it off, I can focus on proper finances, where my earnings go directly back into the business. I can pay my bills, rent, and add to my savings without worrying about any other financial responsibilities.

My dad, though working through multiple jobs and volunteering, isn’t getting paid for he always wanted to do: Broadcasting. Hosting a radio show. My ultimate gift to him would be to create the perfect opportunity to have a radio show that can thrive through popularity and finances. Whether that happens, I know he would be grateful and absolutely love just the experience of sitting in a studio and speaking to the world.

This debt was built up over the last year, and I haven’t added to it in months. All this to say that I have no plans on creating a new debt, and have a financial future plan for myself. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and I hope to hear from you. I appreciate anything you can give. It always astounds me how naturally kind people can really be. Have a groovy day!

Under-employed: Assistance request for Rent and Basic Expenses

Hello,

I am an office manager by trade and am currently working part-time as a sales associate at a clothing store and trying to fill in the gaps with house cleaning jobs and fill-in/relief work for a former regular employer.

I live in an area abundant in low-paying part-time jobs and have been looking for supplementary work to the clothing store, which has been more challenging than expected due to scheduling. This is how I started to do house cleaning. I’m good at it, but due to an old injury this is not a realistic long-term source of income.

When I started at the clothing store a few months ago I was told there was a strong likelihood of me being turning full-time in January with real potential to become a manager. They even gave me a bump in pay if I prioritized their workplace over others to be there on certain days.

I passed up another potential “part-time to grow into full-time position” as an administrative assistant because I had already promised that full-time availability to my current employer and had believed them.

My supervisor told me last week that she will be staying on in January after all, so now I am looking for full-time work again. I have two interviews next week, one for a part-time administrative position and one with a temp agency. I applied for a full-time administrative position today and found another one to apply to tomorrow before I leave for work.

What I’m looking for is assistance with my immediate rent, car insurance, and other basic expenses.

I know it’s mid-December, and I want to assure you that none of my request is for frivolous things or gifts for others. I have already told my family that I will not be able to give presents this year, however if I have the gas money I will come visit them between Christmas and New Year’s (I’m working right before and after the holiday).

Today is Dec. 11, and by Dec. 30 my fixed + variable expenses total approximately $1,386.72, if a holiday trip to visit family is included (gas and tolls only). I expect to net appx. $350 at my next paycheck, so my hope is for assistance towards covering the difference of $1,036.72.

I will adjust this number if I get some pre-holiday cleaning jobs. A full breakdown of how I got to this number is included in the image section.

Any amount of assistance is appreciated, and I look forward to “paying it forward” when I am back on my feet. I would be happy to post updates about this.

Thank you for your generous assistance in any amount, and I wish you a beautiful winter season, however you choose to celebrate or enjoy it.

Family in need in Wisconsin

To whomever is reading this thank you for your time and consideration. My fiance, myself, and our almost 5 yes old daughter live in Wisconsin. We are in desperate need of help with money for rent, utilities, and food. I will be completing honest this last year year or so has been the hardest I think we’ve ever faced, and we have now hit rock bottom. I have tried many places for assistance, but we make just over the limit to qualify or we qualify but uor benefit amount is zero (which makes no sense to me). I have been the only income, and I do not bring home enough to pay rent and utilities, let alone by food. However everything seems to go by gross income which isn’t fair, because I lose over half my check to healthcare and deductions I’m required to have. My fiance had been working at a foundry for about two years. Unfortunately mother nature hit Sauk County (and many others) with flooding waters multiple times. Due to this unfortunately my fiance got stranded in the flood for a couple days (missed work), then he got sick from being stuck in the flooding. When he called work to touch base and let them know he was sick they told him he was done. I’ve been trying to work extra hours at my job but overtime isn’t really available often at my job. I do not bring home enough income to cover our expenses, even after pulling our daughter out of daycare. My family has tried to help out as much as they can, but they also do not have much money and live paycheck to paycheck. My dad gave me the money he had in savings to help pay our rent. Unfortunately my fiance had been having a hard time finding a new job, and had been unemployed for almost three months. He just recently was able to get two party time jobs that are third shift so we can continue to save on daycare. At this point though we are so behind and I don’t know what to do. We are two months behind in rent ($690 a month), two months behind in our utilities bill (about $150 each month), and we are behind on our other bills like internet, phone, credit card, and personal loan bills. We had to take out a personal loan a while ago to fix the breaks and such on our car. As luck would have it we also a couple weeks ago had to get a new tire because it went flat. Got out to change it and there was a huge hole in the tire. Come to find out from the tire place, someone had shoved a razor blade it our tire, and broke the end off leaving it in our tire. So we had to spend money we didn’t really have to get a new tire. Thankfully when I originally bought the tires I bought the extended warranty plan which paid for about half of the price so we only had to pay $50 instead of $106. We are trying to figure out how to get caught up, especially on rent and utilities before we get evicted. We do not have a lease here. Unfortunately we are month to month. So even though we live in Wisconsin and freezing temperatures and snow are apon us, our landlord has ever right to evict us. She is growing very impatient on us, and I understand we are two months behind on rent and that I’m sure is affecting her family as well. So if anyone can please help us even a little I would be forever grateful, and promise to pay it forward in the future after we get caught back up. We just got so behind so quickly, and we are just in desperate need of help. Please if you can help us out of our hard time. Thank you

Emergency

After I had surgery in May, I lost my job and couldn’t work for 2 months. Since I was out of work was evicted due to non-payment and life has went downhill from there. I had to sleep in my car many nights and had to come up with ways just to pay the car payment in order to have a place to sleep.

Since I have an eviction on my record, finding housing has become even worst, now I am trying to start back work but with the car payment behind, rent, and bills are all piling up I have no more resources or options at this point. I have tried many places that was referred to me, none have funds now.

I went through many channels to try to get help and support, but nothing seems to be working out right, I am a student and with all this going on it have been affecting my grades and stress is filling my life. I though about many options I could look towards and nothing seems to work for me. I have tried payday loans, installment loans, signature loans, and with my credit being poor, it is hard for me to succeed in life.

I wish I could have done things better, maybe saved more, but working and trying to keep up with school is taking its toll and I am to the point that there isn’t much for me to do now and now I am reaching out to any possible avenues that would ultimately help with my situation even if I have to pay individuals back. The debt I am in isn’t as bad as many will think but, in my situation, and experience, it will take a lot for me to get back where I was in life and I am just trying to keep hope alive and stay positive about all the negative that seemed to hit me at once.

So, with any donation received, it will be used for rent, bills, and ultimately to put me back where I need to be to better my life and continue my education. I am not a bad person or looking for an easy way out, just need a little help to get caught up and back on my feet. I have been asking for help even since I had surgery with little achievement, but my fight isn’t over, and I am trying to stay in the game.

Ambitious Black Woman in Debt

I am in debt and homeless after quitting a full-time job in order to commit to college and a relationship. I dropped out of high school in the eleventh grade because my mother moved our family into a battered women’s shelter, and I became completely discouraged. I worked full time as a manager when I was nineteen years old, and I saved up money for seven years to move away to the city and go to college. I was successful here in Colorado Springs for the first year that I lived here and then my partner of twelve years was hospitalized and I had to stop working and take care of her so that she wouldn’t be moved into a long-term facility.

I feel like I have given up so much in order to take care of someone I love, and I am asking someone to help me. I am in college and will be starting my sophomore year next January. My university has been supportive by signing us up for Christmas gift donations and a gift card for food, and even paying for a hotel room for the past two months so that I could finish this semester. Despite my situation, they recognize that I have continued to work hard and kept my grade point average at a 3.5; however, there is a limit to what the university can do for one student in need.

I am asking for a stable place to live so that I can continue to finish my degree without sleeping in my car or going back to work full time. I should mention that we were evicted from our apartment in July which led to this homelessness and the displacement left a $2600 balance which prevents us from applying for a new place. This has been very difficult, and I have not given up yet. Please help if you can, even if you pay the balance to the leasing agent directly; it would be a blessing. Thanks, and happy holidays!

Vietnam Veteran and his wife in serious need!!!!!

The paths that we have walked, both separately as well as together, have been strewn with broken glass.

He was abuse as a child and so was I. We both have suffered unspeakable things, but we have fought to survive every step of the way throughout our lives. He is a Vietnam Veteran, Having done three tours of war. He is a diabetic on two types of insulin. He has severe nerve damage that effects his digestive system to the point where he has trouble holding on to the food he eats long enough to gain any nourishment from it.

His mother had Alzheimer’s and when she became bad enough to have to be permanently hospitalized, his father(who was also a diabetic and a double amputee)committed suicide by shooting himself in the face with a shotgun.

His brother stole his part of the insurance policy money that belonged to him.

My husband once owned a dojo and trained battered women. He has spent his life trying to help people that are down trodden or looked upon as less than others due to their circumstances.

We have been married for 22 years. We once had a house, two cars, and a peaceful and wonderful life. Then he was laid off and with this, began spiraling down into where we are now.

Due to an infection that affected all of my husband’s  roots of his teeth, he had to have them all removed. The V.A. covered the procedure but refused to help him get dentures.

I have also lost the majority of my teeth as well. There is absolutely no way that we are able to pay to have our mouths repaired. We are barely existing as it is right now.

I work six days a week and my income is our only income. The VA has had his disability claim drag on for years due to the sensitive nature of what his “job” was.

We now live at a hotel and it takes every single cent I make just to stay inside. Most times, I don’t even make enough to cover it but The Father has made a way countless times for our rent to get paid.

We have no children together because of the damage done to me as a child… When I married my husband, I wanted ten children. I had picked out names and everything for all ten then I found out my children would never exist.

We live day to day always on the verge of homelessness. Always trying to find ways to make it through yet another week of trying to cover our rent. We have no support system such as friends or family that care about us enough to help stop us from drowning. If There is any living soul out there that can find the compassion in their hearts to help us get back on our feet. There would be no words known to man that could ever describe our undying gratefulness. Please help us to have a better quality of life so that my husband and I can remain inside and hopefully, even be able to get the dental work we so desperately need. Please consider us. Thank you very much.
