Hi, I’m Rosina, and due to some unforeseen issues with my family and work I’m here as a last resort. It is with great humility that I am requesting a donation of $3000 to help me with Rent payments as well as essential living needs at this time. 

In August of this year my family went into a bit of a crisis and my help was required. I am the primary caretaker for my elderly parents (they are in their 80s) and at the beginning of August my Mom fell and injured the ligaments in her hand and I had to help her and my Dad (who can barely walk due to spinal stenosis) with basic needs, meals, laundry, etc. At almost the same time my brother’s wife who has a mental illness was hospitalized for a month and he needed a caretaker for his 6yr old son. He lives in a neighboring state so I was spending about 15-20 hrs weekly driving back and forth to help care for my nephew and Mom and Dad.

During this time I was unable to keep up with the little work that I did have and there was basically no income. (I am a Massage and Bodywork Therapist). I interviewed for 6 positions in the last 2mths and was completed ghosted or told they did not have enough work or money to pay me.  Very frustrating!!

I was able to secure a position as Lead Bodyworker /Natural Health Consultant at a local Spa and we are still in the preliminary stages of creating the Natural Health Programs so this may take several weeks before I see a consistent paycheck…so I need a way to just hold on until then.

Having this large sum come to me at once will literally keep the roof over my head and ease some of my own fears of losing everything…although I am a highly motivated, positive person the thought can be paralyzing sometimes! It will also help me stay calm, focused and healthy so I can help others by continuing to do my heart centered work that means so much to me.

If you feel a connection with my story a donation would be so greatly appreciated and utilized wisely. Thank you so much for your consideration and donation.

Ask for Help

This is me asking for help. My name is William and I am 19 years old and I need help paying for rent tomorrow, September 1st. I just finished my summer break and I just started renting my first house with my friend Daniel in Merced, Ca. We are both very excited, we have a place to call our own now and we have plans of spicing it up in the coming months. We want to get a couch and/or futon for the living room, patio set for the backyard, and a table and some chairs for the kitchen. It is a small place but nonetheless it is my proudest possession so far. Me and Daniel met 2 years ago when we roomed together our freshman year of college at UC Merced. We have many likes and hobbies in common so it wasn’t hard to become fast friends and we have been roommates for going on 3 years while at school. At the end of last semester, before summer, we knew we would be rooming together again but off campus this time around. It would be much cheaper overall and we would have much more freedom in what we could do on a weekly basis such as go out into town. Over the summer I was working however my job didn’t pay nearly as much as I needed. It was enough to pay for my needs over the summer but not to save up for the future. We were able to secure a house for a year and I have been able to land a job. That being said I was not able to save enough for the first months rent. It probably would have been smarter to stay living with my mom however, I did not have a room and I wanted my own space, somewhere I could develop into what I had envisioned with my own rules. I am going to be able to start working next week, I am taking this semester off from school and I will be getting another job. The last 3 days have been spent with me completing training for my new job and searching for any way to make money for rent. I have tried looking for loans but I don’t make enough for them yet. I looked for online jobs that pay daily however everything I have found pays weekly and not enough to pay for rent. No one in my family or friends can help they all have other things they need to pay for be it school or bills. I also have been looking into other avenues of income such as wholesale real estate and an e-commerce store yet I have not been able to pursue either of these yet. I want to have a steady source of income to lean on before I execute either of these ventures. Once I have the rent for this month settled, I will begin to follow through with these plans of mine as I will have more free time to invest. This month I need $400 for rent and I know it’s last minute but I would really appreciate any help anyone can provide. I have a lot of things planned that will take time to come to fruition but I can feel in my bones that once I get past this weekend I will be able to start making my first steps towards a very promising future. 

Thank you so much for your support anything you can provide is greatly appreciated.

Hi there, I’ve wanted to work with children for many years. After college, I applied for alternative teaching programs like Teach For America with no luck. When I moved to NYC from North Carolina, I let the fears and concerns of others keep me from pursuing teaching. Doubt and fear and self-limiting beliefs kept me from pursuing my passion. Instead, I freelanced in film and tv production. While it had its perks, work-life balance was not one of them. After seven years of working various jobs, some days for more than 12 hours, I burnt out and left the industry to concentrate on my mental health and wellness.

During this time, I was able to take part in a personal/professional development training that allowed me to get to the root of what had been holding me back from my true calling. This work allowed my teaching aspirations to resurface and I began reaching out to schools and organizations in hopes of being placed in a school for the 2019-2020 school year.

About 3 weeks ago I interviewed for an Apprentice Teacher position with a large charter school organization known for its excellence. They blend rigor and job and their results are stellar: 99% of their seniors graduate and go to college.

I followed up after the interview with a thank you note and received a reply that stated a principal would be getting in touch with me to join her team. The next day we spoke on the phone and the conversation went well. She said I would be supporting a 4th grade class. After the conversation, she asked when I could start. I mentioned that I was going away for the final weekend of the leadership training and would like to have a day to decompress and prepare for the position. She said, “we would need you to start on Monday”. I said absolutely, “I can start on Monday.” She said she would follow up with resources to catch me up since school starts that day. I would be contacted by recruitment with a contract that would need to be returned in 24 hours.

Knowing that the schedule for my part-time job would be prepared that night, I gave my notice immediately to make myself available for the teaching job.

I didn’t hear back over the weekend and when I returned on Sunday night, I sent an email stating that even though I hadn’t heard back, I would arrive at school early Monday morning to get started.

Just before leaving my home, the principal texted me to say that I didn’t need to report to school and to continue to wait for recruitment to contact me. I didn’t hear anything from Recruitment and had to follow up many times before receiving a callback. I was told that the position had been filled and that the principal was not aware of someones hiring for the position I believed I had been hired for.

Since there was no contract, the school states that they are under no obligation to offer me compensation to make up for the fact that I quit my job and lost wages due to their error and miscommunication.

This situation threw me for a loop and caused me to hide away from the world due to hurt, embarrassment, and disappointment.

Since I was out of a job for two weeks, I am unable to pay rent which is due in 3 days. I owe $900 and am asking for support in coming up with the funds to cover the cost. If anyone is willing and able to donate any amount, I would be so grateful.

I know this happened for a reason and I’m excited to pursue other avenues to work with kids.

Thank you for reading. If this post resonates with you, please donate any amount you feel comfortable at paypal.me/positiveltytricia

With gratitude,

Hello All,

First off thank you so much for taking the time to read my post. My name is Krista, I am 25years old and have been on the struggle bus for quite some time. My story starts off a 5years ago, I had a good job, made good money, and as young people do I fell for a guy that wasn’t good for me. I started having heart issues and blacking out on the job, which in turn caused me to lose that job. My boyfriend at the time ended up leaving partially due to not being able to provide for him and also because he had impregnated another. (A blessing I assure you) I ended up moving to a different state to restart my life. My wonderful Grandmother let me live with her, and I helped her around the house and was her primary caregiver through her hip replacement surgeries as well as other surgeries. She helped me get back on my feet to where I was able to get a minimum wage job and stay with her while i figure out what i wanted to do. I tried to go back to college, but working 50hrs a week, being a caregiver, and studied anatomy I failed. Looking back, I realized, like most young adults, I didnt know what I wanted to be when I grew up and I went for a degree that I knew would be financially beneficial in the long run. However, even though I wanted very much to succeed, I did not have the drive to fuel that passion. But I didn’t want to be a burden to my Grandma, so I attempted another semester (again failing) and work soon became my life. I moved up quickly, but even as an AGM I wasnt paid very well. Not enough to sustain myself on my own. I became depressed and I admit to making poor financial decision. I was looking for something to fill the desire within me so I traveled and spent money on things that I wanted without much thought. Growing up my family was poor, they still are to this day. We didn’t do the family vacations, goodwill was our back to school shopping and although I love my family, we were not able to do a lot of things other were able to. I wanted to experience the life others were able to have. I wanted to enjoy life and not feel the pressure of financial strain. Ironically, I now have that financial strain. I have come a long way in those 5 years, I work for a wonderful company and am able to pay for the roof over my head. I am not however able to get myself out of debt and this is where I am asking for help. I am living paycheck to paycheck with no room to save or pay off debt that I owe. I have collectors calling me daily and I am trying to keep myself above water. My friend has recently moved in with me as well to get out of an abusive relationship. She like me is struggling financially after having her car hit by a drunk driver last year and emotionally she is trying to repair herself. I am the main provider while she is getting back on her feet. I wanted to try and pay it forward even if it’s not much I can do.

These last couple years have been rough, and although I know I am not as deserving or as in need as some others, I could really use some help.  I implore you to please give if you are able and even if you aren’t, I want to again thank you for taking the time to read over. This has been a little bit of a therapy session and for that alone it has been worth it.

With a final note, I will say I do wish that school would have taught me more about being an adult than geometric proofs.

Hello all,

I’m am writing this as a last resort.. I’ve tried anything that I could to avoid “begging money”. But here I am desperately needing help..

I don’t know how many times in the last year and a half I’ve prayed myself to tears late at night after my children have been long asleep. Praying and asking God ” why so much pain?”

On the last day of 2017, after a normal day of my new store manager position, and getting prepared for the kids’ winter break to be over soon, my 17 year old son was an innocent bystander in a shooting at a teen party. They shot my baby in his head!!! No suspects found as of yet.

So of course I had to resign from the highest paying job I’ve ever had to live at my child’s hospital bed in ICU. It never occurred to me the eventual consequences of this decision knowing I have 3 other small children who may have to bury their oldest brother. But I ask, what would you do if faced with a decision such as this?

But thank God my mom was living with us at the time, to help out with the babies while I stay at the hospital, waiting for my child to open his eyes just once.

Eventually Kaleb pulled through, despite advise to pull the plug on him. Doctors said he is a miracle, and when we go to therapy, they stress that. But imagine having to physically lift and take care of a child 6’2 150lbs multiple times daily…

4 months later, my sister’s diabetes won the fight and she passed away April 29,2018. My mother was so heartbroken she died less than 24 hrs later. My 9 year old daughter found her as she was waking up for school the next morning. I was even more depressed at that point. Kaleb tried to commit suicide due to the unbearable pain. I can’t say I wasn’t there myself. My kids kept me alive.

Fast forward, 2019 Kaleb is in better spirits, still not walking, but we’re growing in faith daily. However, I need to be able to work full time and I can’t, due to my insurance not covering full time home care. I have no other family here and I’ve gotten really behind on bills. Kaleb’s SSI only covers the utilities every month. And I barely make 200 a week, that goes to the landlord. But its still not enough. She is now moving close to eviction. And I have no extra money because I spent my savings covering bills and paying to bury mom. She had no life insurance. I’ve applied for the crime victim fund and was denied because his hospital bills were covered. I’ve called countless faith based charities, they always say they have no funding. I’ve asked family in other states, to no avail. I am out of options. If we are evicted, we have nowhere to go. We can’t live in a shelter because of my 13 year old son, as well as Kaleb and his hospital bed.

I don’t know what else to do, please someone help me with 3500 dollars so I won’t have to add becoming homeless with a disabled child to the list of my misfortune. Please help me pay my past due rent.

I am in student debt over my head, unemployed for a few months due to illness, unqualified for unemployment because I was misclassified as a contractor for my last employer, and now I’m delinquent on my federal student loans, which means I can’t access any other loans. I was unable to complete school. I never thought I’d be in this situation, but I got here through a bunch of minor missteps, and some things out of my control. Now I’m not only delinquent on my loans, I can’t get new emergency loans to pay for rent. I have all the resources to get a job in the near future, and I’ve been actively looking, and I’ve taken several under-the-table gigs to get me by. I’m at the end of my rope in terms of savings and funding options.

I’m an accomplished writer, animator, artist, and designer, but I don’t have the portfolio to show for it because I’ve mainly worked in retail at Home Depot and Costco. The tiny  company I had worked for in my last job is going under. There, I functioned as, essentially, a producer in all but title, and didn’t get to enhance my creative portfolio, or and none of the writing and pitches I wrote are usable for a portfolio. The skills I used there are not translating well into a resume. I didn’t game this situation well.

I just need some help to get out debt. I live in a house with three other people, but it’s still expensive. My parents have helped me as much as they can but they’re having a financial crisis too, from problems with my mentally ill stepbrother. I’m actually in serious debt to my mom too, and it’s straining our relationship.

I need $1000-2000 as soon as possible, to pay rent and avoid having to take out a title loan on my car, which I may not even qualify for. This money will help me get my finances under control, find gainful employment, without being overwhelmed by debts, rent, utility bills, and bounced checks. Any amount of money is a help.

If you help me, I promise to donate

Before i even start this paragraph I wanna thank everyone who is even taking the time to read this it may end up being long I’m going to try and dump my heart into it. Hard times fell onto our young family (which consists of myself Nathan 26, Tori my wife 27 and River our son who is 5 years old) when we decided to make the move from Cleveland Ohio to Seattle Washington. Our son was born with mild to severe autism and is 100 percent non verbal and has a hard time understanding basic communication. This was a huge part of the decision to move out here, Seattle has some of the most advanced autism programs for kids in the country. We knew the cost of living was going to be high but we thought the wage hikes would make up for it. So let me start by giving you a little background on me and my wife and how young river came about.

Tori and I became a couple when I was just eighteen years old and she was nineteen we were both still just what felt like dumb kids trying to figure out where we fit in the world. We both come from pretty messed up families and I think that’s what made us bond instantly. About six months after becoming a couple we got the very unexpected news that she was pregnant, neither of us believe in abortion for the most part so we figured we were gonna go through with this and give our son an upbringing filled with love compassion and understanding something we never really had. River was born on October 27 2013 (was suppose to be Halloween) at the Cleveland clinic. There was a lot of birth complications causing him to not be breathing for about thirty seconds when he was pulled out and we think may have caused brain damage resulting in his autism but that’s besides the point. Since that day our lives have been amazing even if we have gone through rough times financially waking up to river every morning makes it impossible to stress. Cleveland wasn’t able to provide what we thought was adequate therapies for our son so we researched for weeks on end trying to figure out where the best place for river to get the best care would be and we came to the conclusion that Seattle was the best option. So gathered up all of our savings and made the move kind of on a limb really. So I joined the laborers union as soon as we got out here and started doing flagging and general labor to pay our bills but work in the winter is few and far between and with bills being so high it’s hard to save enough money in the summer to make it through winter. For the last two years I’ve been able to barely scrape us by financially while tori takes care of river which has included therapy at least three days a week for the last two years. Well as of last month things got really tough I wasn’t able to pay my rent for the first time in my life and on Wednesday the transmission in our only car gave  way and my roommate is saying it’s gonna be cheaper to buy an all new car. I had to take the bus to work the last two days which isn’t even an issue what’s killing us is right now our son is doing five days of intensive aba therapy a week and it’s forty minutes away. My wife was no way of getting him there without a car and we honestly don’t have a dime to our name until next Friday when I get paid but that’s gonna all have to go toward paying last months rent( it won’t even cover all of that). I don’t know how this works or if I’m suppose to state how much I’m looking for but I don’t feel comfortable doing that. We would sincerely appreciate anything anyone could give us even if it’s a couple dollars. I want to thank anyone who took the time to read this I know my writing skills are not good so it was probably hard to get through it all but it means a lot. Hope everyone’s having a blessed day and thank you again

Hi, my name is Sierra Haggard and I currently live in a one-bedroom apartment with my fiancé and two sons. We have only lived in this apartment for a few months, and for most of the time I was on paid maternity leave and my fiancé was on paid paternity leave. Before we moved into this apartment we were going back and forth between living with my mother and my fiancé’s parents, after having to move out of our two-bedroom double wide trailer (because we were already struggling and they were raising the rent). Both living situations were very stressful for our little family, especially because our youngest son was born during this time of bouncing around. I feel like no matter what we do we never seem to have enough money to afford everything that life requires, such as rent, gas/electric, phone bills, car insurance, gas, groceries, diapers, etcetera. I work 20 hours a week and am going back to school this month since having my youngest son, who is 5 months old. My fiancé works 30 hours a week, but he suffers from severe anxiety and depression, which has caused him to miss a lot of work recently. He has been seeing his doctor and he is doing a disability claim with the company in order to keep his job, however he still won’t be paid for the time he has already missed. Because of this, his next paycheck is going to be very small and we will not be able to pay our rent on the first of September (our rent is $800/ month). I have considered trying to get a loan from somewhere but I know I would struggle to pay it back over a long period of time all the while accruing interest. We are always struggling to make ends meet and we usually end up finding a way to make things work, but this time I’m at a loss. I desperately don’t want to have to keep moving my family around and putting them in stressful situations, and I feel that if we are forced to move back in with our parents, my fiancé and I will crumble under the stress and tension and will ultimately end up separating. I am writing this as a last resort to save my family, so any consideration or financial help would be greatly appreciated!

Hey everybody,

I hope everyone’s having a good day despite how dark the world is nowadays. I don’t expect much from making or posting this, but I’m about to be homeless so why not. This will be like wishing on a star, right? Anyway my name is Jen and I’m a 24 year old starving artist living with her fiance and puppy. We’ve never had the best luck when it comes to living comfortable and healthily, both are parents were super toxic and manipulative and just a down right huge depression in our lives. So we moved from one family home to another, suffering, until we finally saved up enough money to elope to Vegas, praying for a better life. Now we thought that things had finally started looking up when we moved in with these roommates, only they were just as toxic as our parents, so we’ve ended up in the same situation once again. Fast forward to about a month we finally found a nice decent apartment for just us, it’s a perfect one bedroom, barely any furniture (we only have one couch, mattress, and coffee table haha), and it was all ours… Until I just recently lost my job and now rent is due. Our landlord isn’t the most understanding person, there is a language barrier and I’ve been doing my best to communicate the situation, but I’m pretty sure she’s going to kick us out by the end of month. I’ve spent so long trying to find a new job, new ways to make money, I’ve tried to sell my art, nothing. So here I am, making this post, begging for money. I don’t want to lose this home, it’s our first real home where we can finally be ourselves and be happy, away from the abuse and manipulation. I don’t want to move back with my parents or his, we need help, anything at all, even a penny would be amazing. We literally only have $3.85 in our bank acct COMBINED. Our rent is 870, if we can even have half of that, not even half; A QUARTER, that would be amazing.

Anyway, thank you for event taking the time to read this, and I know for a fact I am much less deserving than others, and I will not give up my job search and I’ll fight to keep this apartment (I even have an interview next week so WISH ME LUCK!) However, the universe is known for being unforgiving, so I even reached out to anyone generous enough… thank you.

PS. we don’t have copies of our rent agreement at the moment, so here’s receipts we’ve kept from past payments.

I’ve never been one to ask for help from family or friends, to tell anyone that I’m going through financial problems, or really discuss any of my issues in general.

I’ve always prided myself on my hard work and being a morally sound person. I’ve never stolen anything in my life or really have broken the rules. I studied hard, went to college because I thought it was what you were supposed to do and graduated.  Not far after that I realized I hated my degree and did not want to continue living for other people’s dreams but for myself. I finally got my chance to do what I wanted and decided to work in a couple of bars, living a pretty laid back life with my boyfriend. I was somewhat lost and drowning in alcohol and drugs, until the day I found out I was pregnant with my Cleo.

At that point I decided I was ready to get serious and start to live a life that I could be proud of. It was then that I discovered working as an apartment manager. I could work for my complex as well as live there and have Cleo with me all the time. It was the perfect fit for me! I gained a lot of experience and a lot of joy in working in housing; especially in Seattle.

I came into a company that at the time I thought was wonderful for the chance they took on me; not only having no experience but also being pregnant. I worked hard and improved the buildings that were poorly taken care of and had a high turn over rate for its managers. I worked for almost two years and after working to the bone and slightly loosing my sanity, I moved into a affordable housing organization. I’ve been there since February and I don’t think I’ll ever look back! I finally have found where I fit and I’ve been promoted into a special project where I can finally do what I’ve always been passionate about; helping others!

Now you’re probably wondering where this is all going and why I’m here asking for help. Well today I’m struggling more than I ever have in my life. I can’t pay my rent and am so far behind I don’t know how to stay afloat in the place I’ve always called home. Seattle has become one of the highest in rent cost in the country. My boyfriend and I can’t afford to both go to work and put our girls in daycare, but we can’t live off of one income either; the Catch-22 as you can see.

The only thing in life I want to do right now is get to a point where I’m stable financially. I have so many aspirations and ideas on how I can create a sustainable life for my family but I’m stuck in this never ending roller coaster of financial burdens.

I hate to say it but I do need help and I do need someone to care today. If you can understand my struggle and would like to help, I would greatly appreciate it. I just want to do right by my family, and try to find help where I can; even if it means opening up when I tend to hide.

Good evening, my name is Chika Onyeka and I am 23 years old. I currently stay by myself in my one bedroom apartment. This is my third month living here and it has been quite a bumpy ride. Regardless, I have managed to pay my rent two times right on time. However, in the middle of the month of July, my brother who was at the time staying with me, for the time being while he waited to get his own place, (with his unregistered dog) came to me and told me a story of three girls who were going through hell. One of the girls had even tried to commit suicide. She attempted to swallow a razor and her two friends pulled it out of her throat. He then asked me if I was willing to let these girls reside with us for a week. I was shocked, I didn’t even know these girls, I didn’t know why they were in the situation they were in or what exactly the conditions were. However the suicide story got to me, and I thought of myself and what I would want if I was in the same position. It was a very hard decision but I said yes. When the girls came, the first thing I saw was the dog. I was very angry, because they did not mention the dog at all and I was already breaking my lease with my brothers dog. Still I let them stay, the dogs were put in the balcony and that was the beginning of hell. They fought and fought, they were loud and obnoxious, and they would urinate and poop on the balcony. The worst part was that all that ended up on my neighbors balcony. It completely damaged both balcony and neither one of us could even be outside anymore. This news of course got to the landlord and I was served with two lease violations. I was being charged 110 dollars per dog, and a 10 dollar fee everyday the dogs were still there. I found out days later because my brother hid them from me. I became very worried and angry, I thought that I was helping people and that my good deeds would be rewarded. But it was the opposite, I was breaking the rules to help strangers and family out and that was a huge mistake. I told my brother that they all had to leave, especially the dogs before I got evicted. He took me round in circles saying they were looking for places to go. Eventually, my landlord said I would get charged extra for the damages on both balconies. I told my brother the news and that they had that same day to leave and they did. Not before I made it clear that they have to pay for the damages on the balcony and the dogs. After all of that I would contact him to ask for the money but he ignored my calls and messages till this moment my brother and the three girls have done nothing to pay their parts. I have only one day to come up with the money and I’m out of options, this is my very first apartment and I would have never dreamt such a thing would have happened to me. I am very afraid of being thrown out and being homeless, I’m angry at myself for being so irresponsible and naive and for being taken for granted. I broke the rules, and it can’t be helped, I should have done better. I wish I could go back and do it over, I have learned my lesson. Please help me I don’t know what else to do and I have nowhere else to go for help, you’re my only hope.

My name is Jeffrey H. Epstein. I am not the same person as the billionaire pervert you may have seen on the news. Many people have the same name, and that is a different person. I am a 61-year-old unemployed man living in New Hampshire since late 2017, when I moved from the suburbs of Boston. I had spent nearly four years managing the local websites of the Alzheimer’s Association.

After difficulty sustaining my web career or getting other work, I ran into financial difficulty in 2018. My family helped me with money, but it caused some tension. I eventually decided to turn to newspapers, as I had been a journalist earlier in my life. I got a full-time job reporting for a local daily newspaper in a small New Hampshire town. This I enjoyed, and was generally successful. However, it paid $24,000/year, which wasn’t enough to pay the bills. I lived in a small room in a rooming house, and ate some meals at the local soup kitchen. After about eight months at this newspaper, I was hired in May of 2019 by a different newspaper at a better salary. Most of my stories were fine, and the editors was okay with most of my work. It was a heavy workload, however, and I wasn’t able to deliver all the work the editors were asking me to do for future issues. I maintained professionalism in all this, and we had several meetings, but I eventually told the demanding editors that if they were that unhappy with my work, I would leave so they could get someone else. The editors agreed, and although I asked them to terminate me so I could qualify for unemployment, they refused because I had “quit.” I left at the beginning of July and have been seeking a new job ever since. I had very little savings since I had no savings at the previous job.

I have applied to approximately 45 jobs this month and had a few interviews. Here are the most promising leads I have now:

——————————–

1.) I applied for a job with an Amazon distribution center, went to a meeting, and that is now in a background check. But the provisional start date is not until September.

2.) I have interviewed with a property management staffing company. I filed all the onboarding paperwork, including the W4 tax form, but they are still waiting on the background check.

3.) I had an in-person interview for a communications director job at a nonprofit. Although this interview went well, they are still interviewing other candidates. If they do make me an offer, it probably will not be for a while.

4.) I signed up as an independent contractor for a company doing audio transcription. I’ve just started this and am in training now. I don’t know how much money I will be able to earn from this.

——————————-

I now have less than $100 in the bank. Family members who helped me in the past cannot or will not provide me with funds.

The storage space holding most of my personal property is about to go into lien. I could lose everything in a couple of weeks. Total overdue is $195, plus $155 for next month.

My apartment rent is $886 a month, due August 1. The landlord is willing to tap the security deposit and not evict me immediately.

I do have SNAP – food stamps – so food is okay.

I need about $1,200 – $1,500 to buy me a month’s time. Please help me. My PayPal link is https://paypal.me/jeffepstein521?locale.x=en_US

Hi and thank you for taking your time to read this! My boyfriend has been waiting for a disability hearing for over 2 years from the state of Rhode Island and he’s been told he’ll have to keep waiting. He can’t work, and even me working full time doesn’t cover his cost of living. He suffers from unpredictable lung collapses that have sent him to the hospital numbers of times, including the time he technically died on the operating table. He’s had 3 surgeries to attempt to fix the situation but it can’t be completely fixed, and the only thing they could do was cement his lungs to his chest so when they collapse again, they won’t crush his heart.

These lung collapses happen very randomly, and sometimes for seemingly no reason at all. He’s had to pull over while casually driving to deal with a lung collapse. It’s also happened to him at previous jobs, when he exercises, and even when he’s just sitting down watching TV. If they’re bad enough, they send him to the hospital which we definitely can’t afford, as he has no health insurance.

Some days we can’t afford to eat, or get gas. Usually I make things work, but it would be so nice to be able to pay his rent without struggling to feed myself, my boyfriend, and our two cats (who always get fed before we pay for anything else, no exceptions. Also, there’s a picture of his cat, Saphirra, attached 😊) Currently, rent is $500 a month, and adding gas and food and basic essentials, I would say altogether it would be $800 a month. Unfortunately, I only make $800 a month which doesn’t help me cover my own bills or any of my own personal costs, only things we need to live.

Any amount at all will help and be GREATLY appreciated. We really aren’t the type of people to ask for help, but we do need it. Thank you again for reading and If you have any questions or need to get a hold of me feel free to email me

Hi, thank you for reading my message! In September of 2018, I went to my local ER because I was severely dehydrated and had been vomiting for several days.  I felt like a boulder was sitting in the middle of my chest. All ten of my fingers were also completely numb. I knew the numbness was due to an electrolyte imbalance because I had experienced this many times over the past 8 years. It always required IV Potassium and/or Magnesium. Potassium and Magnesium are essential to heart function. I told the medical student all of my symptoms and told him about the numbness in my fingers and that I knew that meant my electrolytes were extremely and dangerously low. When he seemed to dismiss the fact that I might know something he didn’t, I told him to check my medical records because I had been treated for that very issue three times in the past year in this hospital. He left the room and came back approximately 15 minutes later with a syringe fułl of medication and said he was giving me something for nausea. This is the last thing I remember. The next three hours have only been told to me by a friend in the room and Doctors who helped save my life. Within seconds of being injected directly into my IV, I said I felt like I was about to pass out a few seconds later I went into complete respiratory and cardiac arrest. The gentleman I was dating at the time was holding my hand when this occurred. After CPR and defibrillation they were able to revive me. I awoke in a procedure room  unfamiliar to me and I was paralyzed, unable to move or talk. No one was attending to me although I could hear people all around me. I was petrified! I had NEVER been more scared and all I could do was pray for Gods help and comfort. It was shear horror! I had no idea what was going on and no one even noticed I was awake. Finally, some one came, I could not see them because I could not turn or raise my head. They evidently put me back to sleep. I woke up at 4 am the next day tied to a bed with an intubation tube down my throat. Again, I’m unable to speak or move. I could see my nurse through a window, but she was busy socializing and wasn’t paying attention to me. Again, I’m confused and now in complete horror! However, I’m extremely strong willed and determined. After about an hour, I was able to free my right hand. I could not find a call button anywhere so I did the only thing I could to get someone’s attention! I ranked that tube right out of my throat! Alarms went off everywhere and finally after more than 15 hours I was going to find out what happened to me. WRONG! No one would tell me anything, no one would call my mother, my children or the gentlemen who I was dating. I begged, pleaded and cried. They refused and tied me back down. It wasn’t until 7 am that someone finally tod me part of what happened, that I had one into cardiac arrest and had a cardiac catheter procedure and that the needle was still in my leg and that is why I was tied down. A few hours later, a Cardiologist came to see me. He explained that he had done the cardiac catheter procedure and the good news was that my arteries were beautiful. He had found no cardiac issues and that the cardiac arrest was a result of the medication administered to me by the medical student without checking my electrolytes! My Magnesium was dangerously low and that combined with the medication stopped my heart! He went on to tell me the bad news, I now had cardiac myopathy due to the arrest and my heart was only functioning at 20%. I spent several days in the intensive care unit, then step down and finally a regular acute care room. It’s now almost a year later and I still take a handful of medications everyday and many of which have horrible side effects. The medication I take for arrhythmia causes vision loss and my vision has deteriorated significantly since starting it. I’ve managed to finally get cleared to go back to work and found a job which starts the last week of August and will pay enough for me to afford a small studio apartment. I was forced to give up the apartment I had because I was unable to work all these months. I managed to slowly make my way to a late city where I can get the proper care for my heart. I’ve been hospitalized more than a few times since and my bills just keep growing. I’ve spoken to patient advocates, hospital administrators and attorneys. I’ve gotten zero help from the hospital even though they ultimately caused the problem and now they want to profit from it. This hospital is in a small town in South Alabama and it took me 8 months to even find an attorney who would help me who wasn’t part of the “good ole boys” network. He assures me he can help, but these things take time. Luckily, my car was paid for at the time so I at least have that for now. I’m not ashamed to admit I’ve slepted in it more than a few times. Unfortunately, I had to borrow money against it to survive and pay for my medications that I need to survive. My boys help me as much as they can, but they are just starting out in life as it is. My credit score went from 750 to 520 in a matter of months. Every week it’s another medical collection showing up on my credit and I can’t make money fast enough to fix it. My parents are elderly and my father had a serious stroke in April. They are in no position to solve my problems and should not have to do so. I applied for disability, DENIED! I applied for Social Security, but it’s still hung up in red tape. I’m a smart girl who has led a very blessed life up until September of last year. I raised 3 good young men ALONE, I held a job, I volunteered my time to help others. I’ve tried my best to pay it forward in life and have always willingly helped others. Now, I find that I cannot even help myself. I just need a little help getting back on my feet. I can’t keep couch surfing and sleeping in my car. I need to get settled so I can give 110% to my new job and be an asset to this world again. I’ve never had to ask for money and I’m humiliated to have to do so now. I’m at the end of my rope, I’ve run out of options. Any help would be greatly appreciated and I can promise you I will pass it along by paying it forward again soon.

Hello everyone. My name is James. This is my first time doing this, and I honestly never thought my life would come to this. Having to ask random strangers for help to pay the rent. A little about me. I am 31 years old. I have an amazing 6 year old son with my ex wife. We were married for 6 years, but as things go in life, we just were not meant to be. I have lived a very rough life. Not as rough as some, but it has been a struggle none the less. I lost my mother when I was my son’s age, and never new my biological father. I lived with my abusive step father until the age of 11, when I was left in Comfort, Texas at a youth camp. He called my grandparents and informed them if they did not get me and take me in I would become a ward of the state. One of the counselees stayed with me for about a week until my grandparents took me into their home. My grandfather was an alcoholic and diagnosed bi-polar schizophrenic, so my teenage years were rough as well. I made far too many bad decisions as a youth that negatively impacted my life. At the age of 17 I moved out and jumped from place to place for a couple years. During that time, I suffered through many indignities. Homelessness, drug abuse, legal troubles, beatings, etc. The worst being I received 11 staples, 23 stitches, and a blood transfusion after a beating at a local concert venue in my hometown. A couple years later I was hospitalized again due to a pulmonary embolism in my left lung. Yet through it all I overcame. By the age of 23 I had decided I wanted to turn my life around. I met a good woman, had a son, and got married.i worked hard everyday to support my family. And did what I felt was a good job. Over time however, the stress broke through the love and my ex wife and I separated. This was 2 years ago. In the beginning I lost my mind. Got back into old habits, old friends, and new troubles. I found myself every night at the bottom of a bottle. Grief stricken and overcome with depression, I contemplated ending my life on numerous occasions. Until one day, about 6 months ago I met up with an old highschool friend. She showed me I was worth so much more than I thought, and explained to me that my sole purpose here on Earth was to be there for my little boy. Today, she is the woman I hold every night and the one I call Love. Since meeting her, I have attempted to get my life back on track yet again. Found a job, got my first apartment at the age of 31 years old, the first place I have ever been on a lease. My son has his own room, and is finally able to see me whenever he wants to. Unfortunately however, as fate has it, my good fortune recently took a turn for the worse. I was let go from my job due to a dispute with another employee who had been there far longer than I had. I did not instigate said dispute, but because of his seniority with the company, they let me go. I am now struggling to make ends meet and keep my home. I have my rent due August 3rd, and no where near enough to cover it. Let alone put food on the table. Everyday I have been applying anywhere I can. But time is running out. I cannot allow myself to lose this place. To see the look of disappointment on my little boys face. The lowest amount this site would allow me to ask for was $1000. I honestly don’t even need that much. I could easily get by with $350 to $500 and still make ends meet. I hope someone out there reads this, as it is a genuine cry for help. Something which is not in my nature. I would even be willing to pay it back or pay it forward. I just need help. Thank you to anyone who reads and considers this.

Sincerely humbled,

James

Hello all,

Just to give some background information. I’m currently heading into my final semester of undergrad at Arizona State University and plan to go on to law school in the Fall of 2020.

This summer, however, has been a brutal one. I had been working in the bar industry since March making very good money for a college student who is almost exclusively financially independent and was paying bills and everything on time. Although when I came into work on June 15th, I was told to not clock in and to just turn around and head home. The bar I had been working at had just closed permanently and summer in the valley is almost impossible to find a job. Immediately I turned to Postmates and with the little money that I did have saved up was able to kind of get by throughout the rest of June and up until this point. I was able to afford rent, utilities, water, car, and groceries for the past month and now those funds that were able to keep me afloat have since diminished. My rent is due to go up at the end of the month from 450 to 650 with a roommate leaving. I did just start training at a new job, another bar, however, I won’t be consistently on the schedule for another two weeks.

On top of this, my family who has been absolutely incredible to me in assisting me throughout this roadblock have also had some chaos. My grandfather recently took his computer in to get fixed and while doing so, the shop decided to take and outsource all of his bank and financial assets to a location in Pakistan or elsewhere and they now have all accounts frozen while an investigation goes on and they can hopefully track and reattain all of their assets. My mom is struggling herself after helping my sister and I move down here for college and her job simply does not pay her enough to even think about owning a house.

I really don’t like doing this, but to any stranger on the internet who can help me and even make it so I can help my family while all of this is going on would be greatly appreciated. I don’t think I could show enough gratitude to those who help me even the slightest. I hope you have a wonderful day and thank you for your time.

Hey there!

My name is Tom. I’m a 21 year old living in Montana, and I am currently living with my parents. The reason I am coming to ‘Begging for Money’ isn’t because I’m lazy and hoping someone will throw money under me as a safety net. I came here because I have been trying to move to a town two hours away from where I currently live (and another reason that I will reiterate later on). It’s a beautiful, hip and lively college town where my best friend is living. I’ve wanted to move there since I graduated from High School in 2016. 

It seems like no matter how much I work my ass off (whether it be two or three jobs), things keep getting thrown in front of me and delaying me (I also have a phone bill and car insurance to pay on top of everything). I have a Honda Accord from 2003, and as many can suspect there may be a few issues with an older car. It seems like 2019 is the year of car troubles for me. I had to replace both my front tires entirely at the beginning of the year, and I understand that’s not the worst issue to have. I also, however, had to replace my spark plugs a few months after my tires. This is a bit of a bigger issue. And of course, with my luck, a deer ran into my car while I was going 75mph the week after I got my spark plugs changed. This repair took $423 out of my bank account because I don’t have liability on my car insurance. Which took a huge toll on my moving plans and therefore my mental health. I was so close to moving I could taste it, but I had to pay for my car. Then, to add to that, my roommate told me she didn’t want to move less then a month before we were planning on moving. We had looked at apartments for months. We even went to a few stores and looked at decorations and other “new apartment” items. In the past I had another friend lined up as a roommate, but she canceled as well. 

The second reason I’m coming to this website for help is because my step-dad got laid off from a really great paying job. I’d really like to get out of my parents’ hair to give them one less thing to worry about. They are both super stressed about my dad being laid off. My mom has a job, but we’re in a small city and she cleans for people. As you could imagine you don’t make too much money from cleaning in a small town and that’s all of their income right now. I have a younger brother who lives with us too and I can only imagine how he’s feeling. It’s scary when your parents, the hardest working role models in your life, are squirming and struggling to stay above water. I’d love to be able to help them and move out at the same time.

I’d like to give a future thank you to everyone who donates right now. Every single penny helps, and I couldn’t be more genuinely grateful to anyone who helps me and my family. If you want to know more information about me, please feel free to email me at the link below. Just know I try to be as genuine and real as possible in every situation. I hope you have a great day. Below are my links and some images of me & my bills I’ve paid and have to pay monthly

Whether I get any help or not, thank you to everyone whose helped anyone in a hard time!! I wish I was rich and could help people who deserve it. But alas, after being independent for so long, I’m finally caving in and asking for help.
My name is Haley. I am a 27 year old woman and someone who is currently disabled due to me having osteopenia (bone loss) in my right foot. I hurt it a few years ago. At first, I couldn’t walk without crutches for 4 months. For the next 6 months, I couldn’t walk without a really big boot on my foot. Since then, almost every doctor trip was them telling me, “Oh you’ll be fine its just an swollen ankle that is taking it’s time healing.” While thinking it was just my ankle healing, I started going back to work. I took 2 delivery jobs at a food delivery service called Waitr and Domino’s. It was actually still too much walking for me and actually started reversing my healing process. Sadly, it also destroyed my car. Eventually, they took me a little more seriously and did another xray. This was when I found out I had osteopenia in my right foot. I am filing for disability, but it is taking much longer than expected. I can’t get any job outside of working from home because not only will it mess with my disability case, but I’m too much of a liability risk. My foot is so bad now that I can barely walk around my house without almost my right foot making me collapse. The money I saved up from previous jobs before hurting myself along with the money I saved from the delivery jobs has all been spent on bills as well as my mother’s sudden funeral. I’m currently months behind on all my bills. My friends and family won’t help me out with anything. All the money I manage to make is on third party websites and apps such as Inbox Dollars, Lucky Winner, K.O Trivia, App Station, Gift Loop, etc, whatever I can find. These apps help, but I’m barely making $40 a month with all of them combined. These apps are meant for people to make some extra money, not to rely on them for a paycheck like I am. I am not someone who likes to ask for any help, especially money wise; but with none of my friends or family unable to help me out, I really have no other choice. Please someone help me pay my bills. Any little bit will help. I am so tight on money that I don’t buy fast food, do anything fun, hang out with anyone, or even get a hair cut. While I am just trying to get buy, I am forced to see my friends and family living their best life and never helping me out. Please, someone please help me. Every little bit helps, and I promise every penny of it will go to bills only. I am over $1000 behind in bills at this point.
If I can make this picture/video uploader work correctly, its a picture& a video of the ankle brace I have to wear to keep my foot in place. The picture of me in my car was taken about 2 years ago. My hair is now longer, and that is the vehicle that broke down due to me having two delivery jobs where I drove over 100 miles almost everyday.
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help me out in any way. Every little bit is greatly appreciated.

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.
