10 lost babies and an abusive ex partner

It all started with a happy relationship, 8 miscarriages, 2 ruptured ectopic pregnancies and 8 years later I couldn’t take anymore. The beatings were bad but the emotional abuse was horrible. I won’t get into details about it all as I would be here forever but I finally got away. I was placed into emergency housing by my local authority with the help of woman’s aid. Unfortunately the rent was £185 a week for a house that I couldn’t afford to heat, I complained constantly and was told I’d get a suitable house in no time, it took 18months. In the first six months I spent all my savings trying to get by and then major depression hit, I still managed to carry on working but I also hit the drink and ended up in alot of debt, not far off £20000. £7000 was rent arrears the rest was an alcohol fuelled rampage. Then one day I met a new guy, one that has been nothing but kind and caring towards me, he took me into his arms and promised me everything would be okay and nearly three years later it’s almost perfect. Money is my only issue, I work hard to keep the house I’m in and to try and pay off my debts but everytime I think I’m getting somewhere financially something happens and i start to struggle again. My new guy works but isn’t in a place to help me out and I wouldn’t expect him to. Replaced my knackered old car with a more suitable one, I’m a home carer so rely heavily on my car, my more suitable car cost me nearly £2500 in the first four months of owning it, the car isn’t even worth half that. Then my cat got poorly, that cost me nearly £1000 and just the other week my old dog got poorly, that was £750 and unfortunately he couldn’t be saved so he was put to sleep. Between loosing my precious, beat friend dog and my financial worries I’m starting to feel depression get hold of me again. Due to my miscarriages I have been referred for IVF which I’m really excited about but then I also worry that I can’t afford a child. I’m 40 and in nearly £20000 debt and only managing to pay off about £100 a month. I’d be eternally grateful for anything you can spare to help me pay off my debts so I can get back on track with my life and gain a new life if IVF is successful

Help LGBTQPlus Couple move out of toxic house

Rent, Food & Monthly Bills

Hello let me start out by saying this is the last place I wanted to turn for help. I don’t like to ask for help always having a way to take care of myself and my wife but this situation has just left me with no where else to turn. I am 27 unemployed due to work visas in limo and my wife is 26 working full time an makes just enough to support us at the moment. This leaves us barely enough to get by so moving is out of the question but the thing is we desperately need too. I had not planed on moving to her country so suddenly but Covid struck and I was left with the choice of moving then or never seeing her so I choose to blow through what little money I had to be with her. No the smartest choice but I love her and this is where we are. We are both responsible never missed rent respecting and we are always sure to be clean and quiet. Our upstairs neighbours on the other hand are extremely loud stomping over every room we are in day in and out slamming things in the middle of the night and first thing in the morning right over our bed. I do stay home most days because of the pandemic so I am forced to listen to this woman stomp all day and I can’t make a noise or she runs into that room and gets louder. It’s even worse when my wife gets home she will make it impossible for us to shower or enjoy a meal every time we talk she stomps on the floor. I think you get the picture I’ve tried reaching out and she acts like She doesn’t understand so I’ve talked to the land lord ( her daughter) she just lies and says she will say something or laugh it off like oh yeah she does that , I’m not laughing it’s effected my mental health and sleep. That’s just some of it I know for a fact these people are homophobic this woman keeps calling me my wife’s room mate and I’ve told her we are married and she just looks at me like I’m crazy. I can’t go outside with out her following and watching , she gets mad at me if I park my car to far over even though she doesn’t have a car. I have allergies which I told her about and asked her to stop spraying perfume in the hallway that leads to our apartment and she does it more frequently and with stronger more perfumes scents. I’m at a loss with all of that but the part that really bothers me is that we told them we needed them to check the wall and floor because it was damaged before we got there and got slightly worse because the bathroom is not properly done and water doesn’t evaporate correctly so there’s water damage and I suspect mold because I’ve been getting really sick and I get headaches every time I’m in the shower and it also smells like mildew. They completely ignored me and raised out rent AGAIN. Every time I say something needs to be fixed they do nothing but yet they had the time and money to renovate the entire upstairs and keep us up for months till 3 am doing renovations over our room. We are just so fed up and we can’t afford to leave as is and just need a small bit of help getting going. I try to be thankful for what I have and I’ve dealt with this for two years and nothing has gotten better we need to go I can’t handle it anymore. Any kind of help would be great and I thank you for listening to my rant.

Please help if you can. I’m drowning and have fur babies to care for.

I have never done anything like this before, please forgive me. I have been on my own since I was 17 and I’ve always kept my head above water, until this last year. I ended a long-term abusive relationship and moved back to my home state to start over on my own. I left a lot behind when making this decision. I left my new home I worked hard to build, a great career in law enforcement, and a lot of life long friends…but it was worth it. I got to be myself again. I get to now make my own decisions. I’ve had to overcome so much this last past year and have become strong and independent, but I have struggled affording my home I rent, bills, gas, and even groceries as of lately. I have been working long hours all throughout covid to stay afloat. I recently was trasnferred to what used to be a 3 person office and now have the sole responsibility to run the business on my own in a one person office. We are understaffed, we are exhausted, and we need help desperately. I have been chugging along, but lately I’ve felt I am running on fumes and am so tired, mentally and physically. I am unsure if how run down I’ve felt contributed to my catching covid-19 on January 19th from a workplace exposure, but I became incredibly ill and have now been off of work unpaid since this day. As I write this, I think of the month of Febuary and am scared. My rent is due tomorrow and I cannot pay it. My rent is $952 and my heat and lights are usually $150. The food in my pantry has also gotten very low during my quarantine unfortunately. I know this may sound silly, but when I was alone at 17 many years ago I adopted a cat, so I would have a companion. I will attach a picture of him in the hopes he makes you smile. He has been at my side through everything. He helped get me through my horrible situation in my previous relationship and has always been there for me. Now I am struggling to be there for him with the expenses regarding his food, anxiety medication, and vet bills from a full panel screening I had done for him in October regarding kidney problems he has. I also have a beautiful pup I rescued and she means the world to me. I can’t let this happen. I have always been the type of girl that finds it very hard asking others for help, but I find I am in a spot where I finally need to. If you took the time to read my passage, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Any kindness shown to me in my time of need please know, I will be sure to pay this forward when I am able. Blessings. https://paypal.me/AnnaTank?country.x=US&locale.x=en_US

I’m a hard working man who can never catch a break

I am a 33 year old man, and I have worked since I was 16. I dont have ridiculous spending habits but I did make some stupid decisions back when I was younger and since then I have never been able to catch up.

I was chased for multiple debts, I was sued over an apartment mess I didnt create, I won but still had to pay part.

I have been completely sober for almost 7 years, and I am never going back to that horrible lifestyle.

But even having a full time job, and working on cars on the side, is just barely cutting it and just being able to have everything paid off would be amazing, I’m not worried about medical debt or student loans, just the long standing revolving debt and maybe have rent covered for a month or two.

To cover everything for a while and help me a ton I’d need about $3500, which is an amount I’ve never even had to my name. My car is paid off, although it needs work, and I’m selling a car I just finished working on to help get by, but it is rough right now and literally anything would help. I thank you for your kindness in taking the time to read this.

I want to go to school.

I am a 20 year old currently unemployed trying to go back to school. My situation is simple. I finished high school at a late age because my childhood consisted of moving a lot and always having to redo a year. It had always been my mother and I. No siblings, no close relations to family members, no father. I was adopted at 7 and moving around was “normal” for me. Towards the end of my education my mother decided that she wanted me to learn French, this meant re doing high school but in another language. Through it all I was alone, my mother was mostly absent, only helping me with guardian responsibilities, I grew up taking care of myself, living alone but blocked from witnessing the financial responsibilities that my mom controlled. At the end of my last year I had gotten accepted to business school and was excited to change my future, my mom made a promise to me and then backed out last minute, she did not want to invest in my education anymore, her reason was she had already invested too much by putting me through different schools in 4 different countries. I wish to put my personal issues with my mother aside, but my current situation is a result of years of a harsh family relationship. I wanted to take out a loan to cover my own education but of course she did not want to be the caution to that loan. She later then decided to leave my life because I did not want to do what she wanted me to do, it was to depend on her, be with her and focus on a career path I knew wasn’t making me happy. She is no longer a financial supporter in my life and even asking for one penny from my mother means having to be of service to her because I owe her, I have never asked my mom for money since she left me. For the past 6 months I have been working in and out of kitchens as a cook in France, with my very little experience I do not earn much, not enough to cover for rent but I thankfully have a friend who is helping me stay for free in her home. I decided being a waitress would be less tiring for me and would help me build my social life and allow me to learn from home and prepare to go back to school. So I am currently applying for a waitress post and as an English tutor, I am glad I am bilingual, it can really help me to earn some money on the side. For the moment I don’t have a monthly salary, I only have enough to cover for food. I am living a simple life, researching for student aid to get back to school in September 2022 and finding a job that will allow be to save up for living expenses when I do become a student again.

My goal: To change my situation. I am very lucky to have a place to stay but I do not want to be dependent of others, at 20 it is hard to ask for help. Lodging aid exists but I don’t have the resources yet to even cover a small rent price.

To go back to school, I know scholarships and student aid exist, but just applying to school has a price. Right now the best I can do for my education is online videos and classes without paying for a certificate. Education in France is less expensive compared to the US but in my situation everything feels expensive,I want to get into marketing and management.

To have enough money to put on the side in case of emergencies. My primary concern right now as an unemployed adult is not having enough to buy groceries.

I believe I deserve a support. I spent my whole childhood trying to meet the standards of my mother who was mostly absent and as soon as I finished my high school education didn’t think it was important to support me in the path I want to go into. At my age I think am a very hard worker, I do not enjoy the idea of being unemployed or unable to pay for food or rent my own place. Life is never easy, this is a major life lesson for me, but right now I don’t have much and no financial support to have a “normal” life.

In the picture I have shared you can see the page of my Wishlist for schools “voeux” on the national admissions site in France. I have already begun the process of applying to schools that interest me. I do not have an amount that I am asking for, I want you to decide if you want to help me.

Need help with work and living expenses

I am about to turn 24, I am a self employed esthetician renting a room at a salon and spa. I pay a weekly rent of $184. I started building a clientele at the beginning of the pandemic. The summer months were looking pretty good but the winter months have really hurt my finances. A few weeks ago there was a 2 week lockdown in my area so I didn’t have any income. I am also not eligible for employment insurance because I am technically self employed. Recently I have not been able to make enough money to pay for my living expenses, I have only made enough to pay my rent at work and the small amount left over I have had to use for gas which has also increased in price.
I am struggling to pay my bills, car insurance, rent, power bills, student loans, groceries, and gas. I have had to use my savings to pay bills and my savings have been depleted.

I am very passionate about what I do, I have always wanted to have my own business, and still hope to someday. Being able to rent a room and be self employed at a salon/spa is the first step to gaining experience to hopefully having my own business someday.

In July of 2021 I moved out of my home and into an apartment. I left my husband after being estranged for 2 years in the same home. I left him with the house, all of our assets (minus my personal belongings), and our two dogs. I am still able to see my dogs but the apartment I am in doesn’t allow pets so I don’t get to see them as much as I would like. I hated having to leave them, but I knew that I couldn’t stay with my husband any longer.
He moved his new girlfriend into our house in November.
Since our separation I have been much happier but I am struggling financially to make ends meet and pay my living expenses and work expenses due to the pandemic. If I could get some help with my upcoming expenses, I will be able to continue to try to build a clientele and stay afloat. Every bit helps. I don’t know what else to do, I fear I am running out of time and could lose everything I have worked so hard for the last few years. If there is anyway I could get some help with my expense I would be so grateful!

Rent Money for 8 months so I can take time off to be with family

To be honest I don’t know how to word this sort of request… I just need some money to cover rent for the next few months so I can focus on recovery. I’ve lost both of my grandparents in the span of a year and currently having to watch as my living grandparent struggles to continue living. I’ve been busy worth work and haven’t really had the chance, or ability to take a break to really focus on spending time with my Grandma and I really want too. But between the long commute to and from work and just my time at work I just don’t have the emotional or mental drive to handle it.

I know its petty and maybe even selfish to ask for this sort of stuff but… I really do just want to be able to take some time off of work and focus on my family and my own mental health.

In total I’d only need about 6000 to cover about 8 months; but honestly I’d be beyond grateful for just 1500 for 2.000

In desperate need of assistance for an immediate place to stay

I am desperately seeking assistance. I have been staying with a friend since early December. I have been paying her for the room and am paid until February. I have known her for over a year, and there has been nothing but platonic friends. I have been paying her a sum of 425 a month. After paying this month a day or so later, she started acting weird. She talked about these spirits around the apartment and that they were out to get her. It progressively got worse until she started saying that the spirits were attached to me. She called the police on me on the 4th of January. During the commotion, I went downstairs to get some paperwork from an officer to call for assistance in getting into a place. She had then locked me out of the apartment. I had to call officers back out to the apartment to let me back in. While on the phone with dispatch, she came back to the residence, and I went to follow her in the apartment where she proceeded to close the door on me and, as officers were pulling up, hit me in the head with the door.
Because of how the second batch of officers wrote up the report, I have been a victim of domestic violence even though we aren’t a couple. However, I need two incidents to file a motion for an order of protection against domestic abuse. Plus, I am not trying to get her removed from her apartment. I need to leave the situation ASAP! Since the incident on the fourth, I have been staying locked in my room, making calls all day. I have tried calling any and every place to get out of my situation.
I am a landscaper and lawn, maintenance foreman. However, we close down for the growing season in January and February. I have been unable to find work because of the holidays and the fact that she never gave me a key to the apartment which means if I leave, she can lock me out and does not have to let me back in from the second batch of officers said. Every domestic violence shelter that accepts men from here to Fort Meyers is full. Homeless shelters are at full capacity too.
Due to the new Omnicron Variant of COVID-19, facilities have been hesitant to let people in anywhere. She told me she filled some paperwork that would force me out this week. I have called law offices, and they all say if she gives me an eviction order, I have three days to vacate. Well, that is proving to be impossible, and the fact I do not want or need an eviction on my record because will make it harder for me to get into a place in the long run. When calling a facility, I have been put on a waiting list to get emergency funding for a home, but that will take a month. What I need at the bare minimum is like 5000 for a place. I’m going high ball because of the market lately with everything rising. The 5000 would be for first last and security and deposit and first month for water and electric. I have tried everything. If you cant help out financially, maybe you can help with anything I haven’t been able to think of or see yet.
Hello,
