Hi, my name is Mia, and I’m currently very worried I might be evicted from my apartment. I was in an abusive household until I was 19, and my alcoholic father kicked me out. I was able to find an apartment, but now I fear I may lose it. I have a job, but my hours have been cut to only 5 a week, and I make less than minimum wage in my state. I had another job as well, but was laid off. My rent was raised without warning, and now I have no money due to paying off my other bills. I’ve been doing my best to do odd jobs, but everyone I know is tight on money right now. I would ask family, but my mother has congestive heart failure and can’t currently work, and I don’t have any other family or friends willing or able to help. I currently need around 900$ just to stay afloat, or else I’ll have an evection on my record and have to go back to an extremely abusive house. I’m currently looking for another job, but I live in Phoenix AZ, where summer is the time when no one is hiring due to everyone leaving the state to be in cooler places. Summer here is also a time when electricity bills skyrocket, so that’s another rising expense as well. I already keep my apartment pretty warm to attempt to keep my bill as low as possible, but the rates go up all over the state so there’s only so much I can do. I also don’t have much to sell anymore, I even sold my car a couple of months ago to pay for rent and my other bills. I’ll still be doing as many odd jobs as I can, but really anything helps. And you wouldn’t be helping just me out, I also have two loving cats as well who don’t deserve to be bounced from place to place.

I’ve attempted to get government help through rent assistance programs, but I don’t qualify for a lot of them, and there aren’t many out there to begin with. I won’t stop trying, but I very highly doubt I’ll be able to get help that way, as there are limited spots and they fill up quickly and tend to go to people with children.

I really hate asking for help through the internet, but my options are getting more and more scarce by the minute. I have no credit, and in AZ evictions are a massive hit to your credit, and they stay on your record for 7 years, which will greatly reduce my chances of being able to find another permanent place to live anytime soon. I really need help getting back on my feet, and I’m confident that if I can get through this month August will be easier, as that’s when companies here tend to start hiring again. Please help me get back on my feet.

I appreciate anyone who took the time to read my story, and thank you so much.

Three months ago I had my back against a wall and had to quit my 911 dispatching job. There were a few reasons for this decision starting with mistreatment from my management team but the main reason being that my son’s father and I babysitter dropped everything and moved back to Africa without a heads up or notice to us. Being that him and I work night shifts, childcare was a horrible challenge and loosing her was a BIG blow to our situation. We were then forced into a one income, two household situation. I didn’t realize how difficult it would be for me to find a good paying job that not only wanted me to work for their company, but something that was during the day for we desperately needed childcare. Fast forward three months, and I am still jobless and now my son’s father has went MIA. It’s devastating for me because not only did I quite my job, putting my trust into you to care for us until I was on my feet again, but him and I were in the mist of starting a move. My lease ended on July 1st, the leasing office either wants to apartment paid in full by Monday July 7th or be completely out or get put out on Wednesday. I spent the last week exhausting any and all options (so it was a quite daunting holiday week for me) from asking family and friends for donations to seeking loans. All venture leading to a brick wall. It hurts simply because even when your ALWAYS there for others the 1st time you need them, no one can help. Granted, I understand that no one is obligated plus everyone had their own battles they are fighting. But its just a bit devastating. So I came across this today on Google and I’m trying and reaching out to anyone who comes across this as my last chance effort. Any little thing will help. I just did for this rent to get paid to buy myself another month to lock down a job and start a new lease with them (since it doesn’t seem like a move will happen now that his father has disappeared.) Thank you everyone for your time in reading about my situation and thank you are all of found it in their heart to donate.

I’m a young professional living and working in New York City. I’m from a small town in Pennsylvania, excelled in school, went to college in Pittsburgh, and have been living in NYC for 5 years now. I’m an extremely conscientious person – always pay my rent on time, always willing to help any friends who need it, and always putting family first before all else. My mother lost her job recently and in the interim period of trying to find new work, she has leaned on me a lot financially. I don’t begrudge her this; she raised me fairly single-handedly and, as I’m her only son, I owe her a lot. I was happy to help her the same way she’d helped me for years and years, but I’ve needed to help her with her rent, bills, and just costs of living. Unfortunately, this stretched me very thin, and I wound up two months behind on my own rent. My current situation makes it difficult to come up with this money, plus normal month’s rent, in a brisk amount of time. My landlord has been very understanding, but I want to get this settled. All I want is to get those months paid, so I’m up to date and don’t owe anybody any money. This is a one-time thing, and I’m asking for $1,000. I would greatly appreciate any generous souls who would be willing to help. It’s not my nature to be comfortable asking for help like this, but I know once I get this settled I will have greater peace of mind and can move forward positively. Thank you so much for your time.

My family consists of 4 and we have recently fallen on harsh times.

I recently ended a 6-month contract job and the company ended up screwing me over (for lack of a better phrase). They told us temporary employees that they guaranteed if we worked well they would give us a permanent position. Near the end of my contract I was told I was a great employee and that they would recommend me for a full-time position. As it turns out, here I am 2 months later and they have not contacted me at all. I have been looking and applying everywhere including fast food restaurants and haven’t been contacted. I even went back to school and attained a Dental Assisting Certificate. I was the only one in the class to pass both state exams, I have been to countless interviews and STILL haven’t been able to attain employment.

My fiance was the stay-at-home parent as we homeschool our children. However, to make ends meet last month he took a temporary position. During his interview he was informed they had a permanent position and interviewed him for it as well. They told him they liked him and that he had the job after his contract was completed. Unfortunately, they ended up hiring someone else before the contract ended and didnt inform him until after.

We don’t have anyone we can depend on to help us and I’m truly on the verge of a break down. I try helping people out whenever I can. I have even allowed one family member to live with me rent free until they got back on their feet and another for 6 years and never asked for a bill to be paid or anything…  but when ever I need help no one can come to my aid. Im so close to just giving up but I’m trying to keep it all together for my girls.

What is weighing heavy on my mind, has my stress levels through the roof, has me spiraling down depression road to the point where I cant even sleep is that currently we owe about a good $3000 in bills. These bills are in back rent (which we just received a court date for), our electric bill, our gas bill, our phone bill, a Verizon bill (I just had to cancel service because I have no way of paying it right now).

Thank you for taking time to read and donate!

Any and all donations are greatly appreciated! If donations exceed our goal we promise to pay it forward and help someone else in need.

Hello my name is Joseph. I work my wife works and we have a 10 year old son. We are in desperate need of rent for July. We had to trade in our car it was messing up and I was unable to work with it going down considering my job is literally based on driving. We traded it in but i still cant drive for my company until i get a regular tag. That may take a few weeks. So with all that said im just asking for someone to please see it in your heart to help a family out in need being homeless is something i just cant deal with and believe me being the man of the house its my job to take care of my family and i feel like i am letting them down by not being able to pay my rent. I would very much appreciate any and all rent being paid for this month and maybe next months just to give me time getting on a roll again.

I am a 23 year old college student and I have a 5 year old son. I received my cosmetology license and just received my associates of applied science in cosmetology. I am about to start classes for my business associates as well. My mom decided to put me and my son out of her home back in April over a small disagreement. This is not the first time it has happened. My son and I were staying with a close friend for a few weeks until I could get all my finances together. I was able to find me a nice all bills paid apartment to get for me and my son. The process of getting into the apartment wiped out majority of my savings. I am self employed as a hairstylist, so I am also paying booth rent every week. This makes it even harder to save up for my apartment rent. After  receiving my associates of applied science, my school is helping me find a part time job for when I am not a the shop working. However, getting started at a job and even receiving your first check can take a while. I got May and June rents paid, but this month I am really struggling and rent Is due ina few days. I can not receive a  loan. This will only put me further behind. Many resources they have in the community do not have the funds. Many of my friends And family are struggling as well. Asking them for help is not a option. My rent is due In 3 days and I have no where near  $880 for the rent. I am reaching out here to hopefully get the help I need so I am not homeless with my child. I work hard and I am not someone who usually needs help. But these last few months have been heart aching and overwhelming. I pray that I am able to get help through this company. My Rent is  $880 but I am grateful for whatever can be provided to me and my child.

Hello.

I don’t know if this is the right thing to do but I’m at my wit’s end. To make a long story short: mid-last year my aunt was diagnosed with stage four stomach cancer and was told she had very little time left. She was a very strong woman and decided to undergo treatment despite her prognosis. And when that failed, she chose to have at-home hospice care. She had a very strained relationship with her children and I had always been more like a daughter to her than a niece. So, naturally, she asked me to assist her at home when she became too weak to do most things herself. She, of course, had nurses coming in around the clock but she had always been a reserved woman and didn’t like strangers in her home. I did what I could while working but soon her swollen feet didn’t let her walk around her own house unassisted. She still tried, for the sake of her own pride, with many scary falls. The nurses felt that it would ease her mind if someone she was close to helped her instead. Finally, after much consideration, I decided to quit my job and devote myself to her in her last moments. She has since passed away.

I had been unemployed for three months while caring for her. I’m twenty years old and living in a small apartment that charges $1,800 for rent. I have other bills to pay as well; my car, student debt, insurance etc.  It’s easy to see how I ran through what little I had with a minimum wage job. Last month I finally caved and started taking from my savings.

I’ve paid off my other bills for this month and came up short for rent, which is due two weeks from now. The apartment manager has been understanding of my situation up to this point but can’t do much about late payments. I’m truly and deeply sorry for having to ask people for their hard earned money, but I’m running out of options and can’t afford another loan on top of the others I already owe. I’m not asking for large sums of money. Whether it be a dollar, a cent, five dollars; any help would be appreciated. I just need this month’s rent to be paid and when I start my new job next month, I’ll get back on my own feet.

Thank you for taking the time to read this today.

I am going to say this now, I don’t have a photo only because I haven’t started paying yet, my name is Kaleigh and I currently live in Denver, CO. I am planning on moving into a new apartment later this week with a close friend. But I’ve been paying my phone bill (which typically ranges between $150-$200), my student loan, and credit cards. I’m in my early 20s, I made a lot of financial mistakes early on maxing out cards, and delaying payments. Because of those decisions I’ve been having a really hard time saving money. I did pay my application fees and admin fees, but my first months rent comes up Friday and I’m short by $300. I desperately need the help and my family isn’t in a good place to help me at the moment. They live in Oklahoma and there has been a lot of flooding so they have been having a hard time with their own finances. I would appreciate the help so much and I really just want to get back on track!

Hello ladies & gentlemen. I would love to thank you for taking the time to read my story. I do apologize for its length. My name biologically is Danielle but I’ve gone by Casey since I was a child. I’m in need of help to pay for rent & 2 deposits (Damage and pet) to a new place I am trying to move into. About 4 months ago, I left a very abusive relationship & everything with it behind. I left my home, my vehicle, my job, & everything in my possession behind. I did NOT leave my cat as I have had her since she was born. Shes potty trained, very well taken care of, and she helps calm my anxiety and depression! I LITERALLY CANNOT live without her. Shes my bestfriend! I’ve been homeless since then unable to find employment due to being homeless & never being in the same spot let alone same city for more than a day.. Ive spent most nights sleeping in bus stations & under bridges. Recently, I was hired at a wonderful job & unfortunately the hotel does not open until July 1st as it is a brand new building still under construction. With that being said, I have no way of paying for the rent or deposit until I start my new job. Im so exhausted both physically & mentally from the stress of my situation, the strain of being homeless, & my body seems to be giving out due to not having a bed or anything to sleep in. My main & ONLY focus as of now is my career & I’m self motivated to climb to the top of the mountain to the highest achievements that I can reach. It is time to be selfish for once in my life and stop worrying about everyone else. This is the time to do me & what I want in life. Live life to the fullest, cherish every moment in happiness, & focus on my OWN happiness rather than everyone elses. It is time to prove to myself once again that I am not a victim but a survivor & a fighter, a warrior. There are so many things I want to do in life that I was unable to do due to being in such a tragic & very toxic relationship which held me back from so many opportunities. Now that I am free from the monster I once loved, I am able to get my life back on track & be myself and surround myself around people who are there to love me, support me, cherish my existence, & motivate me to have the best life I can. Please help me live out my dreams, reach my goals, & feel the heat of the freedom I’ve so much desired. This is the first few steps towards a happier, healthier, and successful life that I very much deserve. For once in my life, I can feel the ropes being cut, the chains being broken, and I am able to run towards every positive opportunity along the way. Just another bump in the road but as my Grandmama used to say, Darling, it is only a bad day, not a bad life! Keep your head up high because one day you’ll be on top of the world that was once crashing down on you. My goal is to reach a few months rent and cover both the damage deposit and pet deposit maybe & hopefully giving me a little leway to save up for a new vehicle as stated before, when I left my abusive relationship, I left everything along with I behind. My goal is to reach $8500. ($1200 per month for rent for a few months and the deposits match the cost of rent) Thank you for your time. Have a blessed day.

Hello,

I recently became a single mother of two little boys. My oldest is special needs and we have a lot of doctor appointments. Their father was taken from us last year in October. It’s been hard not only on myself, but extremely difficult for my boys. My youngest does not understand why his father is no longer here. My oldest thinks he is at work. I lost my job 3 weeks ago. I had a small amount in savings and its already used up. I have taken on a side job. It gets us by, but doesn’t leave much for food after bills are paid. My rent for this month is behind. I’m working on the full amount but it’s just not there. I have never had to ask for help before. We were always a well off family. In the past year, we lost our house, a father and now potentially about to lose our small apartment that we had to move into. We have no family to ask for help. My husband always took care of us. I’ve tried to maintain the money that he left, but with me not making a fraction of what he made, the money was gone to bills. I’ve reached out to charity and no one can help with this big part, which is the rent. We have been blessed with diaper donations and food. I am so thankful for those kind individuals. I’m hoping that now someone can help get us out of this financial bind. This would be the biggest blessing. I really don’t want to have to take my  2 and 4 year old to a shelter.

This donation would help us save our home and also would help beyond measure. We would be so blessed. This would most definitely be paid forward when we get back on our feet. Which should be soon. I have a job opportunity, but it doesn’t start until the first week of August. Please find in your heart(s) to help my children and I in our time of need.

God bless each of you!

First and foremost I want to say thank you for taking the time to read my post. This is the hardest thing for me to have to do, because I never thought at age 52 I would have to ask for help in this way. I made a lot of mistakes and stupid choices in my life, I am proud to say that over the last 7 years I have worked to make my life better for myself and for my sons. They say God doesn’t give you more than you can handle, well he must think I can handle an awful lot. My situation is this I went to school to try to better my life and acquired student loans that I fully intended to pay back but due to circumstances I have fallen behind. Right now I am working a full-time job 40 hours a week I have my adult son who also works a full-time job. But we are facing homelessness because we have to move out of our current place because we cannot afford to stay here and we have been looking everywhere and anywhere for apartment complexes and landlords to work with us but unfortunately, because of my student loans my credit rating is very low and my son being a newly young adult has no credit.

I’m asking for help just to get my student loans caught up or for financial assistance for a motel room for my son and I for a couple months. like I said it is very hard for me to ask for help because I tend to try to help people whenever I can and now I’m the one having to ask for help. So if someone is out there that is willing to help me and my son out we would be forever grateful. Again thank you for taking the time to read my story.

Hi Everyone — I’m not sure exactly where to start, but let me begin by saying that asking strangers for money is something I never thought I would have to do. But I’m in a position now where I don’t have a lot of options, and I would greatly appreciate any help I can get.

I’m 24 and have a salaried job and currently live with my mother. We don’t have a lot of space and don’t have the best relationship. I was living with my dad in Maine once I graduated college, but I had to move closer to where I got a job (in California). My dad and I had a very close relationship and I was able to talk to him about anything. He was the one helping me with paying for my school and student loans once they started becoming due. Last year, I got a text from my brother that there was an emergency and I needed to call my dad. I did but he never picked up. My aunt answered the phone and told me that my dad had committed suicide. I physically collapsed and felt like I couldn’t breathe. My life has completely changed since that day. After he died, my mom, brother and I had to fly across the country last minute so plane prices were extremely high. Bills started to accumulate quickly – funeral costs, plane tickets, and paying to have all of my dad’s sentimental and valuable items shipped across the country to where my brother and I lived.

Even though my job pays decently well, with all my own personal bills, student loans, plus the money that was lost by having to take care of business for my dad, it is hard to make ends meet every month. My mom and I are trying to fix our relationship, but we are at the point where living together is not good for either of us. I have had terrible anxiety and stress since my dad’s passing, and even with going to therapy I don’t think I am able to handle getting another job. I work from 8 – 6 most days, but frequently I will have to leave later than that if there is more work to be done. I’ve looked into things like Uber and Doordash, but based on the year of my car I don’t meet the qualifications. My job only pays once a month, so that is another added level of stress and budgeting I have to account for. I currently have under $200 to stretch me until I get paid on the first of next month (picture attached)

I need to move out, either by myself or with a roommate, but currently that is not financially possible. I wish this was not the position I was in, but I am eternally grateful for anyone who is able to contribute anything to help. My dad dying turned my world upside down, and I really just want to be in a place where I can continue to heal healthily and with less anxiety and stress. If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it. God Bless

Hello, I ran across your site through google and I think you are doing a very generous thing, I wish I could do something like this. Things aren’t working out as well as I thought they would. This situation is so complicated. I got into a car accident September 25 2018. I have been doing the very best I could to get to work. My son’s daycare was barely walking distance from my job, so I had to walk him to daycare then walk to work. I am raising him on my own. I can get help sometimes but not all the time. I told my boss numerous times that I was having trouble and she accommodated my schedule as best as she could. I was supposed to get a car with my tax money around March 1 but without notice The social security administration took my tax income refund without giving me any notice whatsoever. So I ended up not being able to get the car I needed for work because I relied on that tax income that I never got. I also can’t seem to reach anyone about my paperwork that I sent to Social Security. I just received a notice that the post office has not found my paperwork. Unfortunately that is another part of why I had to leave my job. I haven’t had a car since I got into the car accident 09/25/2018. I did what I had to do up until March but then his daycare was moving about a quarter mile further than where she usually was, that was interfering with me getting to work on time which if I had of still been working to this day probably would have led to me being terminated instead of leaving. Things got so stressful for me. I have to take antidepressants and antianxiety medications to maintain my mental health so that wont be another issue I am faced with. I ran out of one of my prescriptions and I haven’t been able to refill because I cant pay for it.  Between paying for daycare and not having enough time to save up for a car. I have been considering working from home and that’s what I was trying to do but that isn’t working out as I thought it would, that is the main reason I am just now reaching out instead of as soon I left my job 3/20/19. I also in order to find a job I have to find a daycare for my son to go to and I can not do that catching the bus and taking a lyft or uber is highly expensive. I am doing the very best I can. I have made it up to this point but I need some help getting over this bump. I don’t have any money right now seeing as I had to pay my rent up until jun 1st. I am doing the very best I can and I am not trying to pull any tricks or limit myself whatsoever but I have to be able to afford to put him in daycare seeing as he is not potty trained and I would have to find a job that will work around his daycare schedule also and this is a lot for me to do without a car especially having my son all the time.  I also can provide proof of all of the issues I have faced leading up to this point. In about 2-3 months with your help I can get a car within the next 3-4 months if I save up along with paying my other bills and get another job so I can put him in day care at least up until he is fully potty trained. Then hopefully by around August or Sept I can get him in Preschool so he can begin learning and I can move forward with my life and then eventually, hopefully before tax time I can deal with Social security before they take my taxes again. Im not one to ask for money but I really need it. All I need right now is $700 for rent. Even though I need 4,723  I do not need it as much as I need to pay for rent.

Thank you in advance

Hi my name is Tiffany. I’m 19 years old and I’m a college student. At this moment I’m going through a hardship in life not being able to afford the essentials I need in order to live such as food, water, and other personal needs for a women to have. I’ve had no choice but to live on my own because I have no family or friends, and my job has became so hectic with scheduling hours and not paying me as decently well as it used to. This is my first time ever asking for money over the internet but I am desperately asking for help because I cannot afford my rent for this month. I’ve never had an issue until just now but I have no other way to make any more income to reach my $600 goal. I’ve tried my best by selling personal belongings of mine, commission and budgeting as much as possible but it’s not enough for rent. Life has been really hard for me lately with not only rent but I also have hospital bills that are keeping me from being able to afford rent as well because of obstructive kidney issues. College has also played a harmful role with my financial life due to tuition and fees for books and supplies. I’ve applied for financial welfare in order to help me out but I did not qualify even with my part-time pay. It has not only upset me physically but mentally as well and I am embarrassed about the entire situation. It’s also hard at the moment to find a second job along with the one I have now to help pay for rent due to no one hiring around my area or I do not meet the qualifications. The worst part is that it has gotten to the point where I have also had to apply for food vouchers and needing to go to the nearest Salvation Army in order to get food for myself because of my little to no income this month. If there is anyone out there so kind and willing to donate any amount of money for my reason of cause, it would greatly help out my situation at the moment. If you could please help me out I would much appreciate the gesture and I will do my best to pay this forward as well. Thank you.

I had to go back and forth from this website to another to get a quicker response since I really in need right now.

As the title says, I’ve got myself a situation where I need this payed off. The reason for this overdraft because I had to pay a late payment for my car and if I didn’t pay it than they’ll have the permission take my car away. I have no choice but to make the car payment then and not have my only transportation taken away. Now I’m at a situation where I have no choice but give funding a try this is my first time and hoping its my last.

Thank you for coming to read my story. I just graduated with my Bachelor’s degree in Spanish Literature and Culture, and I’m having a difficult time landing a job. I know that’s a story you always hear from recent grads, but living at home until I find something is not an option. My parents do not want me living in their house, and I do not want to live there since they have been emotionally and physically abusive to me since I was very young. So I moved away to a different state after graduation to live with my significant other. They already had an apartment and were more than willing to let me live with them. However, I can’t afford to pay rent.

My last year of college was rough. I have suffered from severe depression for about 10 years, and it became worse than it’s ever been during my last semester. I couldn’t work because no job was willing to schedule me around my class times, so to pay for my medications, food, textbooks, and rent, I had to burn through my savings. In order to make ends meet, I had to put everything on my two credit cards. Now I have $5000 in credit card debt. I’ve been able to shave a little off here and there by doing DoorDash and Postmates, but as soon as I pay a bit off, I have to pay for my medications again.

I have applied to over 200 jobs in the past month and of the four I’ve heard back from, I’ve been rejected by them all. I’m working very hard to apply to any job that would potentially take me, but as a recent college grad, I don’t have enough experience for a 9-5 job, and I have too much experience for any retail or food service job. So, I’m left here waiting. Thankfully my partner is very understanding and isn’t currently asking for rent from me, but that feels so wrong. I want to pay them for rent each month. They deserve that. But if I ever want to improve my credit, I won’t be able to pay them for quite some time.

Thank you so much for reading this far. I appreciate you taking the time to look at my story, and I especially appreciate you considering helping me. I’m asking for $5,000 to erase my credit card debt and my rent is $559 per month. So far, I only owe my partner one month’s worth of rent, but I know I won’t be able to pay for next month’s either. In total, I’m asking for $6,118.

I will have a link to my PayPal below, and I’ve also attached a picture of my sweet cat who makes even the worst days better, and I’m so glad I have him.

I am in my second year of college as a psychology major, and I began my college career quite well. I got straight A’s, I planned to transfer to the University of Tennessee, but I met a boy. We met on a stupid dating site almost two years ago, and I fell pretty hard. I fell so hard that when my issues with my dad blew up, I moved in with him having only known him about 4 months.

After moving in, we argued more and more…he told me he  was bipolar as well as had family problems of his own (his biological dad beat his mom as a kid). I started noticing little things would tick him off. Everything I did set him off and the arguments would escalate u til it got physical. Name calling turned into choking, arguments about  taking the trash out would turn into locking me out of the apartment in winter until he felt it was okay to let me in, and I started skipping school to catch up on sleep that I had missed fighting the night before.

Valentine’s came around, and we argued because he decided to work hours he wasn’t scheduled for instead of being with me. So when he got home that night we fought per usual, but made up pretty fast. As we were watching a movie, I got a message from a girl on Facebook saying she matched with my boyfriend on tinder and only found out about me through Facebook pictures he was tagged in. She sent screenshots of conversations of him saying he’d leave me and he wanted to take this girl out. So I moved back with my parents (my room already given to my younger sister) and the very day my parents helped me move back in, he decided to fight for us and tell me he wanted me.

I think now looking back, I was lonely and very dependent on the first guy I had ever lived with. So I moved back, and he cheated again with his coworker. I didn’t find out until we had signed a year lease at a new apartment we picked out months before. The abuse kept up. I noticed he had started keeping his pocket knives on the night stand next to him when he slept and it made me nervous. Weeks of biting, choking, hair pulling and abuse of my pets continued until he slapped me across the face as hard as he could. Glasses broke, he broke the chair I was sitting in, and I had enough. I called my mom and when I tell my mom…it’s over. We broke up. But we were still on a lease. I told my leasing office and we scheduled a day to come in and talk options—although she wanted him gone. But of course i still loved him, so I wanted to keep him on the complex if possible but I’m separate apartments. However, a few days went by and I saw he was messaging a girl for days. I asked him if he had already moved on and he said no. I kept pushing him to tell the truth until he gave in and said yes.

That was the last straw. I wanted him out. He was the type of person to bring a girl home in front of me if I let him walk all over me. He said he had nowhere to go and no money. I said I didn’t care…and he pulled my head back by my hair and dragged me down the hallway to the bedroom. Short story, holes in the door, bruises on my neck…I called my dad this time and the police arrested him for aggravated domestic assault. I filed for an order of protection and waited weeks to speak in court. I should mention his dad is a lawyer, his mom a psychologist who knew every time he hit me. I went to court, his dad got him off on a misdemeanor charge and probation as well as applying for diversion. The whole thing was pointless…I know he learned nothing. In the end, I learned he was cheating on me since the day we met. With more girls than I can count. I was in love with a lie, and I know he couldn’t care less. His parents have gotten him out of every bad situation. And I am left to struggle with rent, bills, start up fees for utilities that were in his name, going to school—probably failing st this point, and two pets. I am 19. I need help, please. My rent is $564 this month…my kub start up is $300. Anything will help as I have more but am working and going to school to make up for as much as I can.

Hello.my name is Arthur Snyder. I am a father of four girls recently I have been in a rut with finding a steady job. I hate not being the provider that I feel I should be. My girl friend and two youngest daughters and I recently had to move in with my girl friends mother, due to being evicted for not being able to pay rent. I feel like I’m failing my children. I am not the type of person who asks for anything free in life. I’m a very prideful person and it hurts me to even have to ask for help in any way. I truly never thought this could become something I’d need to do to help my family, but I guess life throws  a curve ball every once in a while and we just need to try and swing accurately and Hope’s of changing that curveball into  something amazing. Sadly it doesn’t always work. I have an 11 year old who was diagnosed for thyroid cancer recently, and within days of a surgery being done to remove the tumor and infected lymph nodes, she was removed by children services from her mother and placed in foster care. Due to lack of time spent with her because we lived in different states and her mothers convenience, the courts are making me jump through a bunch of hoops to try to get custody. One condition is a stable home. Another is stable employment. I admit I probably could have done better, with things, but I failed.  I respectfully ask for any help that can be giving. I would gladly work for compensation of monetary gifts to get my family in a place of our own. I know that with the right push in a forward direction I could successfully  keep my family safe,and with a roof over their heads . Thank you for taking the time to read this, and considering to help us. Respectfully I thank you. Arthur Snyder  https://paypal.me/hopefulldad?locale.x=en_US

I am in my second year of college as a psychology major, and I began my college career quite well. I got straight A’s, I planned to transfer to the University of Tennessee, but I met a boy. We met on a stupid dating site almost two years ago, and I fell pretty hard. I fell so hard that when my issues with my dad blew up, I moved in with him having only known him about 4 months.

After moving in, we argued more and more…he told me he  was bipolar as well as had family problems of his own (his biological dad beat his mom as a kid). I started noticing little things would tick him off. Everything I did set him off and the arguments would escalate u til it got physical.

Have you ever felt so hopeful and yet so powerless at the same time? Life has given me my fair share of lemons these past couple years and I’m in the process of turning them into lemonade.

About a year and a half ago, I started cosmetology school after months of working hard at a salon exclusive beauty supply store to save up and learn about the beauty industry. I realized my passion for hair back in middle school, when I taught myself to braid so my little sister wouldn’t get teased for being a tomboy. To be able to finally take a step towards my dreams was the most satisfying and incredible feeling in the world!

Soon after, I got an offer to work at a popular salon in our area, which almost rarely happens for new students, so I was over the moon with joy. I could taste what it meant to succeed at my goals and almost nothing could have stopped me.

Until Easter morning, April 1 2018, the night my boss got me drunk at a coworkers wedding and raped me. I now have PTSD and can’t even walk into a salon without having a panic attack and breaking down.

I had to drop out of school and somehow find something else that made me just as happy as cosmetology. I lost all hope and instead spent about 6 months barely eating or getting out of bed.

Through the darkness, I was able to find a relationship with God and realized His purpose for all my heartache and turmoil since 2015. I’ve found that my true passion lies in serving and helping others.

I was able to get a full time job as a manager of a pizza place, where I’ve been busting my tush for 5 months. Even though I love working in customer service and management, I’ve got much bigger nonprofit and business goals that I want to accomplish.

My next step is moving out and becoming fully independent and reliable again, but I can’t do that until I pay off my $9,000 student loan and also register for some new classes at my local community college.

Any help would be absolutely incredible to I can finally get my leg back up in life!

I found out at Christmas 2016 that my parents were splitting up. This was the last straw for me. I began having random panic attacks and began having issues leaving the apartment for work or shopping.

I started seeing a therapist and have been diagnosed with severe depression with generalized social anxiety. With these issues come a very difficult time holding a job.

As it turns out, after discussion with my therapist, this has been something I’ve just been dealing with for years now. I’ve had and lost many jobs and friends in the past due to my anxiety. I cancel plans, I call in sick cause I literally feel sick but aren’t actually sick, and then I spend my days feeling awful for having canceled on friends plans or missed work.

In 2018 I lost my job of 7 years, got and was unable to keep 2 more jobs and I’m currently as of April 2019 on a final warning for missing training on a new job due to having to be out with panic attacks.

At this point, the basically behind on just about everything from rent to electricity bills. I’m going to be losing my phone connection soon, I don’t have internet and I don’t even have current medical coverage due to not having a job and no money to pay for stuff out of pocket.

I’d like to try and file for disability for assistance while working part time but for that to happen I basically have to be unemployed or under employed for over two months.

All in all, things have taken a really bad turn since 2016 and anything I can get from anyone to help me keep my apartment and my lights on for the foreseeable future will help.

Thanks for reading and any assistance you can send.
