I am running out of options at this time.  I am 55 years old and live in Lake Elsinore, California.  I “had” the perfect job, until the one person that I trusted, whom I worked with at Disneyland for almost 20 years, stabbed me in the back and I was wrongfully terminated in April of this year.  She had created an extremely hostile work environment for me where I would have daily panic & anxiety attacks.  When I would go home, I would sit in my car and cry for an hour.  Since then, just trying to keep things positive isn’t all the best, and my health is deteriorating.  I’m HIV+ which is a double-edged sword, since stress, panic attacks, anxiety and depression tend to affect it, and not in the best ways either.  Since April, I have been looking for a new job daily.  I spend my mornings and afternoons applying to jobs that I am qualified for, but being 55 doesn’t make things easier.  Sure, we have the “Age Discrimination” Law, but in all seriousness, it DOES happen sadly.  I either get the standard “canned” response, or you are either Over qualified or do not have enough experience.  The best ones are, “we loved you, but we went with the internal candidate” but they don’t provide you with any feedback to help your chances next time.  I have practically sold everything I own and by the end of this year, I will have no more money to my name.  The money that I do have is paying for my utilities and rent for November and December.  Then come January 2025, I will have $0!  My unemployment runs out at the end of this week, and the last thing I want is to lose my house and have myself and my dog Chloe, who is my lifesaver, become homeless and on the streets.  I don’t have any friends or family I can borrow from either.  Trying to find a new job at my age is difficult to say the least.  But if you can help out anyway, at least get me through the next few months (3-6 months), that should help, hopefully. Rent each month is $3,300.00 and utilities each month are $1,800.00.  My PayPal.me link is –

Support in Difficult Times

Dear friends, family and community, Today I find myself in a challenging situation and, with great humility, I turn to you for support. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I have lost my work permit and unfortunately this has severely affected my financial situation. Every day it becomes more difficult to meet my basic needs and stay afloat. It is a difficult time and it hurts me to have to ask for help, but I have learned that we are not alone on this journey. With your support, I hope to overcome this adversity, find a long-term solution and get back on my feet. Any contribution, regardless of its size, will be of great help and will allow me to meet my essential expenses as I seek to regain my job stability. . I would also appreciate it if you would share this campaign with your networks; Your dissemination could make a big difference. I thank you in advance for your generosity and support in these difficult times. Together, we can overcome any obstacle.

With gratitude

A Need for a Miracle

I’ve dedicated years to caregiving, but now it’s time for me to focus on my own well-being. After caring for others for two decades, I’m facing significant challenges.

I’ve taken on multiple jobs to manage the debt I inherited, but an injury and subsequent surgery took a toll. Living alone without family support, it’s been difficult to handle daily tasks while dealing with disability insurance that hasn’t provided as much as I hoped. Unfortunately, I was let go from both jobs due staying out longer than expedited. Everything is running out.

Despite the hardships, I remain hopeful and determined. I’ve always been a proud person, but now I find myself in a desperate situation. I am behind in my rent of 6K and fighting depression.

I’m seeking assistance to cover my back rent of $6,000 and assistance to help ease my inherited $10,000  debt. Any contribution, no matter how small, would be greatly appreciated. I’ve done a lt of good and helped many people I am hoping the universe will remember me.

Thank y0u

Life has been insanely unfair and chaotic. I was working at the same place for 12yrs, when an unexpected knee injury took me out of work for what was supposed to be 12 weeks. That turned into 24 weeks with an additional surgery from a neck injury(car accident). My job was no longer protected and I lost the position I worked incredibly hard for, for over a decade. I am physically limited on how much i can do for at least a couple more months and bills are piling up. My family could only help so much as everyone is struggling in this economy. I just need enough to keep a roof over both my son and I’s heads until I can get back to the grind and cover things myself. This is my hail mary, I don’t know what else to do.

Hello everyone, my name is William Steele and I’m a 60-year-old IT Specialist that recently lost my job at a large Telecommunication Company because the company starting downsizing early 2024 due to decreased revenues. This unfortunate event has put me in a dire strait situation as I did not receive any severance pay from the company after being employed by them for over 6 years.

I did apply for unemployment benefits from the TX Workforce Commission (TWC) and was deemed eligible for unemployment pay but when I requested my first payment it was rejected. The TWC stated in their decision letter the following reason “you did not perform your work to the employer’s standards although you had previously demonstrated you were capable of doing adequate work. I have since requested an appeal to try and over turn this decision, because I followed the defined company standards the whole time I was employed by that company. I have also recently received an update on my appeal request from TWC that stated “Your appeal has been processed and your case is being scheduled for a hearing. We are experiencing a large volume of hearing requests and we will schedule your hearing as soon as possible. You will receive written notice of the hearing date and time through the U S Mail when your hearing is scheduled”. I have not yet received that written appeal hearing in the mail.

This response from TWC is very concerning as my current funds are limited and have a possibility of being exhausted before my appeal hearing is even scheduled. My only hope is to either receive funds from generous people reading this post or obtaining employment before running out of money.

I am actively seeking employment and willing to accept an offer that will allow me to maintain my current household budget or a lesser amount on a temporary basis. I had to withdrawal all of my retirement funds so I can pay rent, utility bills, car insurance, medical bills, and credit card bills. But those retirement funds are running out as the months progress. The money I currently have in the bank is all the money I have to my name.

To help alleviate some bill payments I have enrolled into a debit relief program to consolidate a high interest personal loan and most of my credit card bills. Making this difficult decision does help with the stress of worrying about making timely payment on debit, but will add to future issues when trying to obtain employment, rental applications, loans, and credit cards.

I am 2 years away from retirement and have researched out to family members not for money, but for a place to live temporarily if my situation worsens in the near future. The reason I did not ask my older siblings for money is because they all are retired and are barely making ends meet on their social security benefits. I’m glad that both my parents are not live to see the unfortunate situation I find myself in today.

To help make it through these rough times I’m hoping this message finds charitable people that can give whatever they can to help me get back on my financial feet. I’m not looking for a hand out but a helping hand up. My goal is to receive enough money to terminate my current apartment lease and pay for moving expenses. Estimated cost around $10,000. If I receive enough funds, I will be moving back to the east coast where I will be closer to family that can support my living situation temporarily. Moving back to the east coast will also greatly increase my chances of finding employment in my career field.

My name is Julie, and this is my situation.

Recently, I was offered a work from home job that seemed like a great opportunity. I had to work 30 days in a probationary status before I was paid for those 30 days. Then it would go to a biweekly payday. I can’t lie. I knew it would be tough because I’d been laid off prior to this job since May 17. I had savings but, those went out the door rather quickly when You don’t have an income coming in.

It was finally payday and when I didn’t get my normal text from my bank when funds were deposited, I started to worry that something was wrong. I checked and there were no funds deposited. I tried to call my contacts and there was no answer and the online portal I’d been using all month wouldn’t accept my credentials.

Unfortunately, I discovered that the job was a scam, and I was never compensated for my work. I was already struggling so this has only added to my financial burden. I am struggling to make ends meet and cover basic living expenses. This experience has also taken a toll on my mental health, causing significant stress and anxiety.

I would appreciate any cash assistance you can give me. That will allow me to pay my basic living expenses and give me some additional time to recover. Thank you in advance for your generosity!!

Hello,

My name is Patrick, for my everything seems to be going wrong all at once.  I am paying an exorbitant amount of medical coverage for my child which is 1333 per month, which was put in place by the court. I am l also paying child support of 600.00 per month which I don’t have a problem with.

I was able to do overtime to be able to handle this but my overtime stopped. I also had another work-from-home job to help, but because  my overtime stopped , I could not pay my internet bill to keep that job.   So no it is even more of a struggle.

My current job has also just cut our hours from 40 to 35 and even with that we have some slow days so we may get as little as 32 hours per week.  They have also mentioned laying my job function of to save money.  The company has overhired and business is slowing down, so they need to make cuts.

To try and make sure my landlord  was paid every week I would not go to the laundromat to wash my clothes. I would wash them in the sink.  Also i would go to the pantry to get food and not to the store.

If I could get maybe 5,000 I could get caught back up with everything and maybe have a little bit of a nest egg for a rainy day.  I expect that to come soon with the upcoming layoff probably in October.

Hello,

My husband recently had a massive stroke, he is the breadwinner of the family, we have 4 kids, I am a stay at home mom. My husband is a hard worker, the money we had saved to buy a home will now be used to live off of for a few months, but if he doesn’t return to work, we will have to move in with family out of state, please help us, as soon as he is able to he will return to work.

I am a full time employed single mom of the teenage daughter and one who has recently moved in her own place. I have been a single mom for 15 years and always worked hard to make ends meet. Yet,last year my youngest daughter got diagnoised with depression, Tourettes, Non-epileptic seizures, neurological disorder, and OCD. I work as cook at a local veterans hospital and as a Government employee I was not eligible for paid FMLA. All time I unpaid. Take care of  was unpaid. I am back to work but have medical debt and now struggling to pay bills. Overtime or a extra job isn’t a option as she needs supervision while not in school, even at 15 yrs old. I have been doing ok till this month. I ran over nails needing new tires, a water hose break destroying my pantry and all the food in it, and back to school supplies. I have been able to pay everything but my rent. My landlord was great helping fix the hose ( my fault) and holding the late fees on rent for me but I still have no funds to pay rent and the next rent will be coming feom my next pay check. Loans are not an option with my medical debt at the moment. I just need a very small push to get back in the game and on track. Please help me keep a roof over my daughters head and food on our table.

1. With my vehicle currently down, I’m not able to secure delivery work. I am two months behind on rent and in need of funds to get my vehicle back on the road so I can pay my own way. Family and friends have helped all they could, but they have their own situations to keep up.
2. I am in need of $2,000-$3,000 to catch up the rent and get a quality mechanic to get my vehicle back on the road to work. This is something I’ve never done and I would be entirely grateful for the help and assistance.
