Begging Money

Financial Hardship Help

Being a single mother especially in today’s era can be extremely overwhelming. If you are one of those mothers who is doing it alone every day you know what I am talking about. It seems like the bills just continue to pile up and never end.

Researchers have said that just in 2015 year ending alone over 80 percent of the households in America that we’re single households we’re in fact ran by a FEMALE head of household which we’re mostly living very poor.

Many people may say well there is government assistance for them to get a grant but it’s hard to find and information regarding that said topic anywhere. So in hopes to help the single mothers out in the world this article will give you some insight on the different assistance topics we can cover including where and how to get a grant or scholarship. Also, you will read and see how simple it is to receive help with income expenses and medical insurance.

Are there really grants for a single mother?

Of course they do but these grants are not only for single mothers. However, that doesn’t mean there isn’t help for a mother to receive one. I know its mind boggling that the government hasn’t had any means created for money for a single mother that is actually in the shape of a grant. One thing the government does for a single mother is they assist them through a group or have set sponsors through a company, and sometimes they are covered by the actual income assistance completely.

Below are a few websites that will redirect you to free items that you can get just for registering on the website.

Low Income Assistance for Single Mothers / Government Grants

As I said there is not an official grant for a single mother available that is FEDERAL. However a single mother can go through federal programs and register and sign up for them. Those kinds of programs are usually for households with low income. Which means you would also qualify for Welfare. No matter what the case these are programs to help those who make below the limit and live poorly.

Below are different types of assistance based in the United States.

TANF – TEMPORARY ASSISTANCE FOR NEEDY FAMILIES

TANF is a crucial for many low income families located within the US.

With TANF you receive a small amount of cash every month that you can use toward your food, rent, and other necessities. However you only receive TANF for up to 60 month limit.

If you are a single mother and you have children in your home who are less than 19 years old you are eligible for TANF.

SNAP – SUPPLEMENTAL NUTRITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

Food-stamps or SNAP as other people may refer to is financial help for meals. You can receive money every month to place food on the table if you are on low or no income.

For most of Americans living in poverty SNAP is potentially the only assistance they can get.

Research has shown that in 2015 SNAP benefits have helped at least 45 million Americans. Most of the ones who receive the stamps are under are up to the age of 18.

When you go to use your benefits for SNAP you have your own personal debit card to ring your groceries up with at the register. If you are interested in trying to get on with SNAP benefits all you have to do is fill and application out and send it in or take it into a local office that deals with SNAP benefits.

NSLP – NATIONAL SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAM

This is a program that gives free (or discounted) food to students whose parent’s income is bellow a poverty level. The income needs to be at least between 130-185 percent bellow the poverty line.

Most the time if a person is a receiver of SNAP benefits their children will be accepted into this program for free lunches. But, that doesn’t mean if you don’t have or receive SNAP that your children are disqualified.

You need to contact your child’s school to apply.

TEFAP – THE EMERGENCY FOOD ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

Food for the American families who are in the poverty range not matter what the age.

If you have received food stamps before or any other program assisting you and helping you such as the ones in this article you could also be approved for this program.

You will need to contact your State distribution agency to learn more about the Emergency food assistance program.

Local Food Banks

A food bank doesn’t exactly fit into the whole “Grant” program area as it is actually a location in your town where you can get food if you are in need.

Do not allow you or your family to go without food. If you ever reach that trouble you can call 211 and ask them where the nearest food bank is based on your location.

More then 200 food banks exist with the feeding america foundation and they supply enough food to feed over 40 million people.

WIC – WOMEN, INFANTS AND CHILDREN PROGRAM

This program includes a package deal where you as a mother are able to receive healthy foods, whether you are pregnant or a new mother, and also to children who are 5 or under.

WIC is a program that is temporary and only used for a short amount of time – usually between 6 to 12 months.

EARLY HEAD START / HEAD START

These programs are for children up to 5 years old.

You can receive free child’s medical and dental care along with their schooling, and dietary needs.

Find your closes headstart office on their website or call at 1-866-763-6481.

Insurance for unemployment

This is a special program which will pay you weekly if you are unemployed and it had nothing to do with you for you being fired or let go. You will only be able to receive this benefit for maximum 26 weeks. Different states have different benefit rules. But most states will average out at about 45% of whatever the average weekly income is.

Single mothers who are out of a job temporarily can find solace with these benefits and can help make the burden less for themselves because this pay will restore what you have lost from losing your work.

If you want to try and get this started and opened for you, you will have to find your local unemployment office or apply on the website for this specific program. Most states will allow you to also try to sign up for this over the phone.

Section 8 housing

Section 8 is basically a program that helps a family be able to pay for their housing. If approved you will receive a voucher of up to 70 percent of your bills (utilities and rent). You are expected to pay the other 30 percent.

If you want to apply and feel you qualify you can get in touch with your local office involved with public housing, the HUD office.

CCAP – CHILD CARE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

This is a benefit for families who can’t afford to place their children in daycare while working.

You still have to pay a certain percentage but it isn’t a big lump of money. The less you earn, the less you need to contribute.

EITC – Earned Income Tax Credit

It is a tax benefit for people with low income. You could potentially get as much as $6,000.

If you normally have a tax rate of $1050 but you are allowed $5550 then you get refund of $4500.

There is a Children’s Tax Credit too for as much as $1,000 for EACH child.

LIHEAP – LOW INCOME HOME ENERGY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

LIHEAP is a program that is a one time help to help pay for heating / cooling expenses.

Most of the time this is for the disabled or families with children or disabled person in the home.

If you need any extra information regarding this topic you can get in touch through the number 1-866-674-6327 or a local number for your local LIHEAP office.

WAP – WEATHERIZATION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

Weatherization assistance program lowers energy bills for families in need. Usually the elderly and families involving children are accepted and put to the top of the list before all.

Your monthly income need to be below 200 percent poverty level.

To apply, find a local WAP center.

Medicaid

Medicaid is help with medical expenses. If you do not have health insurance this gives you certain benefits as long as your income restriction meets the level it should.

A lot of single mothers may meet the standards to be recipients of Medicaid even if you are unemployed.

Every state has different rules about Medicaid plans. You can find out exact requirements on this website.

Together with ObamaCare it ensures that even single mothers who didn’t receive any health benefits will now be able to have coverage.

CHIP – CHILDREN HEALTH INSURANCE

CHIP gives children without health insurance a chance to have health benefits all the way up until they are nineteen. It is for families whose income is too high to receive Medicaid benefits.

It provides every type of benefit you can think of — dental, eye exams, and even annual doctor’s exams.

Every state has its own rules. If you would like to learn a little more about this specific benefit you can call 1-877 Kids now (1-877-543-7669)

Federal Pell Grants

Aid program for students of up to $5,815 for those in need to be able to set foot into college.

This is the best opportunity for a mother who is single to finally be able to finish her schooling and finally continue in the workforce. The money is completely free of charge with no interest rates or paybacks ever.

You need to fill out an application and submit it for a pell grant and have it turned in on or before June 30th of every year.

Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant

Similar to the Pell Grant. If you already have had pell grants and you are at the top of the charts in need you will be first on the list to receive this. Depending on a persons needs that are wrapped in with their financial struggle will ultimately decide who will receive anywhere between $100 too $4,000 annually.

Charities

Charities can be a way to seek help for you and your children whether you are in need of food or clothing or even housing. A lot of charities around the world actually have their own food banks that they run and they will give you bags of free food.

If you go to salvation army a lot of the times they will let you sleep there if you have no where else to go especially if it is a result of violence.

Churches

Most churches will offer you food and clothes or maybe even a place to stay if you have been recently kicked out by the one you are living with.

To find information on this you should look through your phone books local listing or yellow page. You can also research online and see what churches are available to your area and call them and ask what services they do offer.

Loans

Single moms can receive loans usually relatively quickly but I would not recommended that at all. You could potentially go into debt and not be able to rise back from that.

Sometimes you have no choice because you have to fix your broken car or maybe pay for utilities and food and need the help right then. But you have to be able to pay that loan realistically quick.

Pay attention to your credit because if you try to get a loan through a bank or anyone they will check your credit score and see if it is even available to be able to place a loan out to you. If it is a loan that is for payday loans or credit card advances they will not run a check but you will end up paying more after fees and costs.

Line of Credit

If your credit is decent some people ask a bank for a loan personally. Most of the time this is a better idea then asking for a payday loan because if you need quick money with lower rates of interest this is it.

Personal Loans

On a personal loan interest is lower dramatically but you have to pay in instalments. It doesn’t really fit criteria for an emergency. Normally if you just tell them you do not have any more funds and that is why you need this they will turn you away. If your credit is poor you will not be able to even touch this offer.

Short term (payday) loans

This is a very popular type of loan. You may know it by the term “Cash advance.” The interest runs really high on these and it is a loan that is only for a small time frame.

This is a loan that would more then likely be considered if a problem arises and you needed to repair your car or had a disastrous dental emergency. You have to know for sure you will be able to give every penny back.

If you do not pay this type of loan back you could be in loads of trouble financially.

Credit card cash advance

Do you own a credit card? If so you will be able to get money from a bank as easy as 1, 2, 3. This is not a method that is highly praised though because as soon as you start taking money out of the bank the interest keeps rising and you also are charged for using and pulling out of the bank a fee. This is potentially the easier options if you do need cash asap but you have to pay it back and make sure you absolutely can.

When it is all said and done grants will not solve your money issues within your home if that is what you expect. To get a grant is definitely not easy it isn’t a walk in the park by any means.

If you are looking to get a more stable source of financially being stable you should probably look in areas around you or find a women shelter until you can get back up on your feet.

If you think you have all the time in the world you can apply for other areas of assistance such as Food stamps, HUD, and etc. They do take a lot of time and effort for someone to get back with you and let you know if you have been accepted and enrolled. Try finding a part time working job as a way to financially start becoming stable again.

The moral of this is you can not expect a grant to fall into your hands without effort and take all your worries away. They are only here too do one thing and that doesn’t usually fix anything with your financial setting.

This is all on you and what you decide, no one else can decide for you.

Single Mom to my 2 kids and Granddaughter

Hello I’ve been trying to keep a roof over our heads. It’s been a struggle our only income is My Disability. First our only vehicle decided to get a cracked head gasket. Where we live there’s no public transportation so I’ve been having to pay people to take my Son back and forth to school, Dr appointments, grocery store and anywhere else we have to go.

The first of this month I was informed that the house we lived in was sold and we had 20 days to move. I had already had to pay the bit of extra money we had for rides back and forth everywhere.

I have literally exhausted every option I have to find and rent us another place to live and trying to fix our vehicle.

I’m humbly asking for any help at all. To try and raise the $1500 for first month rent and security deposit. My first priority is finding a place for the kids and I to live. Then I will try to figure out the vehicle situation.

I truly appreciate you even taking the time to read this and even considering to help.

Help send my Girl to College!

Hello there,

I am a single mom of a beautiful 18 year old girl. Its been just her and me since she was 9 months old when her father walked out on us and never looked back. The fact that we have made it here is an amazing accomplishment for us. There were many times I wasn’t sure we were going to make it. I’ve worked up to 4 jobs at once to try to make a life for us. I’ve done everything I possibly can for her. Last year in 2023 when she graduated high school I was overwhelmed with joy. The accomplishments we have made and the obstacles we have overcome to reach this point is crazy to think about. So now here we are and she wants to go to college for professional filmmaking. She is super talented in that department. She has won medals in our province here in Canada for her talents. I am so incredibly proud of her and the person she has become. She is not your typical teenager. She doesn’t drink or do drugs. She does not like to party. She has been working full time since graduation trying to make enough to fund her education. I have been doing the same. Stressing about how I can make this work. At this point I am desperate. Which has led me to writing this story. This girl deserves to be able to follow her dreams. I want more for her than having to work 4 jobs to make a life for herself. With the way Canada is going I’m not sure she has any hope to ever own her own home and live comfortably. We are going to be applying for a student loan but I don’t want her thousands of dollars in debt to do so. I am hoping for any little bit of help to get her through this program. I appreciate all of you reading my story and wish you all the health and happiness in the world!

Sincerely,

A mother trying to help my daughter make a life for herself

Looking to pay off old bills to start business✨️

First, thank you for taking the time to read my story. I’m reaching out today because I”m in a very difficult but transitional stage of my life… not asking for a handout to cover luxuries or unnecessary expenses.

I’m asking for help so I can finally move forward with my life, focus on building a future, and stop living paycheck to paycheck from endless gig jobs.

Right now, I’m weighed down by old bills that I simply cannot escape. These include past due utilities, credit cards used to survive during hard times, and basic living expenses that piled up when my freelance gigs weren’t enough to cover everything. No matter how many hours I work, it feels like I am just treading water, and the burden is crushing. Every dollar I make is immediately eaten up by minimum payments, late fees, and trying to keep a roof over my head.

At the same time, I have a very real plan for a better future. I have developed three strong business ideas that I am ready to fully launch, but I can’t do it if I am stuck chasing gig work every day just to survive. These businesses are not “get rich quick” schemes; they are realistic, professional ventures that I have researched extensively. I know they can succeed because they are built around real needs and services, like real estate investing and a non profit to help struggling families find a second chance in life to have a decent shelter and beyond basics.

However, to get started properly, I urgently need several important software tools; things like website hosting, design programs, CRM platforms, and project management software. These are not luxuries. Without them, it’s impossible to operate professionally and competitively. I have already built out much of the planning, branding, and structure, but without the proper tools, I’m stalled at the starting line.

Your donation would go directly toward two things: paying off the most pressing debts that are draining my income, paying the rent off for the rest of the year and purchasing the essential software and resources that will allow me to dedicate myself full-time to building my businesses. Once that happens, I can stop spending all my time chasing short-term gigs and instead create something lasting  something that can support me, create value for others, and pay your generosity forward.

I am committed to succeeding. I just need a real chance, a clean slate to start from. Even the smallest donation would make a huge difference in helping me break free and build the future I know I am capable of.

Thank you for considering helping me take this critical step.

Respectfully,

GA

My Story: A Mother, A Survivor, A Cycle Breaker

My name is Dawnell, and I’m a single mother doing everything I can to rewrite the story I was born into. I have three beautiful children—ages 12, 9, and 5—who are my whole world. Every day, I fight to give them the stability and love I never had.

When I was just three years old, my mother was killed in a car accident. My father, an alcoholic, was never able to be present in my life, so I was raised by my grandparents. I grew up searching for love in all the wrong places, hoping to fill a void that loss and abandonment left behind. That search led me down dark paths—abusive relationships, addiction, and years of feeling like I wasn’t enough.

But seven years ago, I chose a different road. I got sober. I walked away from the chaos. And I started to rebuild.

Most recently, I escaped an abusive relationship. It was terrifying. I left with nothing but my kids and my courage. I worked hard, saved every penny, and finally bought our very first home in a small town—somewhere I hoped would be a safe and wholesome place to raise my children. I wanted to give them everything I didn’t have: roots, warmth, security.

But just one day after I closed on our home, my older sister—my best friend, my rock—was hit head-on by a wrong-way driver and killed. The grief shattered me. She was the only family I had left. The emotional toll, paired with the financial burden of unexpected expenses, sent me spiraling. I’ve since been diagnosed with PTSD from the trauma of her loss.

Now, I am drowning in debt I can’t climb out of. I’m behind on everything—utilities, mortgage, basic needs. Foreclosure notices have started to arrive. I feel like I’m watching everything I’ve worked for slowly slip away, and I’m terrified. Not for myself—but for my children.

I don’t want pity. I’m not asking for handouts out of laziness or irresponsibility. I am asking for help because I’m a mother who refuses to give up. Because I’ve fought for every inch of progress I’ve made. Because I dream of being a voice for other women and young girls who have endured trauma and abuse—proof that pain doesn’t have to be permanent.

I want to be a cycle breaker. A supermom. A safe place. An example of what’s possible when you don’t give up—even when the world tells you to.

Please, if you feel moved by my story, consider helping me get back on my feet. Any support you can offer will go toward catching up on essential bills, keeping our home, and giving my kids the future they deserve.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

— Dawnell 💛

Don’t know where else to turn

I am at the end of my tether and I don’t know where else to turn.

To tell you a little bit about myself and my situation, I am a single mum to a beautiful baby boy, I work for the NHS and also have a second job working behind a bar on the weekends. I very rarely see my child, and I’m struggling to make ends meet and keep a roof over our heads. Childcare is crippling me, and I can’t afford to drop hours to look after him myself as I’m behind on my bills now. This morning I had a final notice through from a debt collector, with no means of paying the amount due.

My son’s father passed away when he was 4 months old, and I have no other family who can help.

I can’t believe I’m resorting to this, and I’m so ashamed to do it, but I genuinely don’t know what else to do. My PayPal.Me link is https://paypal.me/Sianny269?country.x=GB&locale.x=en_GB

I’m drowning… Struggling to stay afloat please throw me a lifeline.

I’m a 41 year old mom single moms of 3, This is not where I thought I’d be at 41 but the last 4 years have been the darkest times for me. I sit in the dark writing this at 10:30pm on a Thursday. I’m mentally, physically, emotionally, and financially exhausted. Personally asking for help like this is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. I’m a single mom of three who has been fighting to stay afloat since life turned upside down in 2020.

During the pandemic, I went through a painful divorce that left me emotionally drained and financially vulnerable. With no child support and three children to care for, I used credit cards and payday loans just to keep a roof over our heads and food on the table. Between 2020 and 2022, I accrued over $40,000 in debt — not from luxury, but from survival.

In the midst of trying to rebuild, I suffered a physical injury when a man accidentally fell on me from 42 ft above me at Globe Life Stadium. Of which I couldn’t find an attorney to help with my case due to not knowing what his cause of fall was. I don’t believe him to even be alive but I was rushed on a stretcher to the emergency room where I have double whiplash, trauma to C3 and c4 vertebrae and electric shock. I have no insurance because I don’t qualify for government assistance by making $30 too much so I have not been able to seek proper medical attention and refuse to be in any medications that would only hinder my ability to work. Since then, my ability to work at full capacity has been limited. I’m self-employed hairdresser of 20+ years, but the instability (recession) has made it nearly impossible to catch up. I’ve applied to over 600 jobs in hopes of finding something secure and consistent — but nothing has come through yet.

Now, I’m being sued by creditors. I’ve considered bankruptcy, but something inside me still hopes I can repay what I owe — that I can honor my obligations and teach my kids resilience through action. I’ve always been the one to help others, but now I’m the one in need. I have no family support, and this is truly my last resort.

Your kindness — no matter the amount — would not just help financially, it would restore hope and breathing room for me and my children. Even sharing this means more than you know.

Thank you for reading my story and considering a donation. From the bottom of my heart thank you.

Heart In Need

Dear Kind & Giving People,

First, thank you for taking the time to read my story. I’m grateful for your time. My heart aches as I look at my financial despair. I’ve focused my life decisions on my two beautiful daughters while being a single Mom for many years. I don’t know where I went wrong.

I can no longer provide the life they deserve due to years of struggling with mental & emotional issues and little to no support from their father as we separated when my daughters were 8 and 3 years old.

We lived a simple yet great life to me. At the time being able to afford a modest house, a simple vacation every few years and food. Now I’m left to pay the entire cost of my home, vehicle and all expenses for my children. I work a modest paying job full time and have my entire life. I always tried to maintain a stable life for myself and my children. I’ve switched jobs a couple times, reaching for more financial independence with NO results. All the while, being told NO when asking for help from my children’s father.

The cost of food, utilities and housing expenses alone, drains my bank account every month and puts me in the negative. I’ve been using credit cards to get by and pay bills for years. I haven’t been able to afford food for a long time so I’ve put groceries on credit cards, causing great debt. I pay my mortgage alone and cannot mentally take switching jobs again in an attempt to reach for more money.

Every life decision I’ve made has been based around securing financial stability for my children and I STILL don’t have anything for their future.

I feel ashamed and desperate, but hope that someone has been where I AM, and may have something in their heart to give. I’m asking for any monetary donation you can make. Please help if you are able to. If not, please send love and healing to my family and hope I can find a way out of this financial hardship.

I am grateful and thankful you took the time to read my story.

LOVE ALWAYS

How did it come to this?

At 47 a single mother of 3 boys aged 15,14 and 4. I have never had to ask for help before,but here I sit in the dark on a Saturday night at midnight lost confused and crying completely depleted. I have exhausted all other avenues. Applied to every known finance company ( even the dodgy ones) only to be knocked back every time. Its not that I couldn’t afford the repayments on a loan in fact I have an excellent credit score its the fact that Im a co borrower on a car loan that my partner ( now ex ) took out and I was unaware that being a co borrower even though its just on paper means I am equally liable for that debt. So fast forward to now. I am single with 3 children, unemployed due to health reasons my partner walked out 3 months ago I have used up all savings and have now reached the point of begging. I have no family or friends that can help me believe me if I did I would not be on google at this time of night to stumble across this site.So to cut what could be an extremely long story short Im in need of $15000. This money will not go towards just one thing I had surgery last October to remove cervical cancer however it has returned and needs to be removed asap to stop it from spreading. The public wait list is long and the private hospital is $8000. The other $7000 would go towards keeping the roof over our heads, car repairs and all the other bills that are piling up. Im an honest woman and I swear that once I have gotten over this hurdle in life and I am back on track I will pay it forward in any way possible. I have never felt so helpless in my entire life and if I could ever stop just one other person from feeling the way I do right now  I would in a heart beat. Thank you so much for your kindness and help in advance. Kind Regards. PayPal@lifelessons256 [Read more…]

He left me in debt while breaking my heart while pregnant

Hello there :-) First of all, I really appreciate you taking the time to read my humble request. I will get straight to it.

I had a relatively good but average life. I worked a good job and had some money saved in order to buy my house. I lived with my parents and was good with money, so I was doing a great job of saving up for my goal.

I met a man in 2019, who stole my heart. We hit it off and started a relationship. He was self employed but struggled sometimes with making enough money to support himself and his children. I believe I am a very kind, caring and empathetic person and so long story short, I ended up spending all of my savings on him, financially helping him almost each month and giving him a large amount of money each month for a few years.

Now you may be thinking that I was or am very naive doing this for him, and that may be so. However, he is a very intelligent man; I would even consider him a genius. He was also super ambitious and had all these big plans to eventually get rich. So, because of the intense love I had for him, the future I saw with him, and my belief in his future success, I helped him out with the hope that together, we would make enough money and my sacrifice to help him would be worth it.

Eventually, my savings finished and he started using my credit cards. Stupid, I know. But again, I had faith that I would get all of it back in future.

In 2024, I became pregnant with his baby and my first child. At 5 months pregnant, I found out from the other woman that he had been cheating on me since 2021. That devastated me. I ended the relationship and had my baby but I was over £20,000 in credit card debts.

I am now in a large amount of debt, and I am nowhere close to my dream of eventually buying my house, especially now with a young baby.

I am so ashamed and embarrassed of what I have done, I have not and cannot even tell my family and friends about the situation I have put myself in. They would be so disappointed in me as they would have expected by now that I would be in a position to now purchase my own home.

My baby’s father has not abandoned me, however we are no longer together and he still is not any better off financially and so is not able to help my clear the credit card debts at the moment.

You may think it was my own foolish decisions that led me to this point and you would be right. But it was all down to me being a woman in love, believing in her man and wearing her heart on her sleeve.

Thank you so much if you have gotten this far. If you choose not to help, I thank you and wish you all the best. If you do choose to help, I thank you from the bottom of my heart and appreciate any help that you are able to provide, no matter how big or small. I wish on you, all the blessings that may be available to you.

Single mother in dire need of financial assistance

Dear Kind and Generous People:

As a single mother with one child still living at home, I am requesting some financial help from you. My greatest wish and concern have always been security for my children and myself so that we won’t ever be homeless again.  Therefore, I am trying to build a career that will help me do just that.  As a child I grew up always thinking of what I could do for others and how I could help and care for others.  I never thought about myself.  I thought that was being selfish, and so I would always put myself last and do everything to make others happy and put a smile on their faces.

Now my finances have reversed.  I lost my last job as an independent contractor when the owner of the company refused to pay me the commission that I had earned.  My last son and I are now facing becoming homeless again and I have no family connections to support us.  I have applied for a number of jobs, but have not been offered a job with a steady income.  I think that is because I am now over age 40.  The good news is that I have been able to get a different sales commission job.  While I am grateful for this work, it is taking a while for me to build up a customer base and I am struggling to make ends meet until I can support myself and my son.

I’m reaching out to you to humbly ask for financial assistance. I feel that I should give you an idea of how much I might need to pay off all my debt and be able to get back onto my feet, but it is a huge amount: $360,000.  Your assistance, no matter how small, would have a huge impact on both my child’s life and my own life.  It will give us the chance to create a future that is secure and solid.

Though life can be unpredictable, I never thought I would end up in this predicament. My child’s welfare is my first concern as a single mother, and I am making every effort to support him. We would be so grateful for your kindness and assistance, which would save us from experiencing homelessness once more and open the door to a better future.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post and giving my request some thought. Our lives would be greatly improved by your generosity and compassion.

Sincerely, paypal.me/Anonymous7125

Newly Divorced Mom of Two Needs Help Fast

Hello. I am a newly divorced mom of two who is struggling. I left my ex husband after decades of dealing with narcissistic abuse. He was always the breadwinner and makes nearly triple what I do. I went from a double income home of six figures to making less than 50k per year. My daughters begged me to find a way to keep their childhood home. Growing up having to move every six months to a year was so hard. I wanted to grant their wish. But it hasn’t made things easy. Alimony isn’t automatic in my state and there has to be an extremely special circumstance to award it. Even though difficult, my situation didn’t make the cut. During divorce proceedings, my eldest daughter turned 18 and was all but turned away by her father. She lives with me full time and I have been her soul provider. I have begged her to find a job. Literally sobbing to her to help with bills. She is 18. In my eyes she is still a child. She shouldn’t have to worry about helping her mom but such is life. I had to help my mom too. With her car insurance, my out of pocket health insurance (since I am no longer covered under his) and a considerable increase in my homeowners insurance (ultimately increasing my mortgage payment) I am drowning. I am still waiting on my settlement money which, after taxes and penalties, will only pay off my car and my lawyer. It will also have to pay my half of what we owe in taxes for 2024, almost 6k. But I won’t see that money for another month or two and tax day is right around the corner. I was hoping to be in a better spot by now but I’m sinking fast and don’t have anyone to turn to. My profession as a veterinary technician was never meant to make me rich. I have no opportunity to increase my income. I have mouths to feed, children and animals alike. I have a mortgage and a car payment. I have an ex husband who is only willing to spend money if he is legally obligated to do so. So aside from my small child support payment for my youngest, I get no help from him. Anything helps. Everything is appreciated. PayPal link is PayPal.me/xalphaleonisx

Request for Donations to Achieve Financial Stability and Homeownership for My Special Needs Child

I am humbly reaching out in search of financial support to change the course of my family’s future. As a dedicated single parent, my greatest aspiration is to provide my special needs child with a stable and secure home—one that is accommodating, safe, and nurturing. However, overwhelming financial obligations, including debt and recurring expenses, stand in the way of achieving this goal. With $200,000 in donations, I could pay off my debts, manage bills in advance, and finally take the critical step toward purchasing a home uniquely suited to my child’s needs.

Caring for a special needs child requires unwavering commitment, emotional resilience, and financial stability. Beyond daily living expenses, there are medical appointments, specialized therapies, adaptive equipment, and educational resources that demand financial attention. While I have worked tirelessly to meet these responsibilities, the accumulated financial strain has prevented me from making substantial progress toward homeownership. I want nothing more than to break free from this cycle and build a future where my child has a secure and structured environment designed to support their growth.

Homeownership would grant my child a space where they can thrive. A stable home offers consistency, which is essential for children with special needs who rely on familiar routines and environments. Additionally, owning a home means I would have the ability to make modifications that cater to my child’s specific needs, such as sensory-friendly spaces, and adaptive technology that enhances their quality of life. Rental properties often lack the flexibility to provide such accommodations, and frequent moves disrupt the stability that my child desperately requires.

Currently, debt payments consume a significant portion of my income, doesn’t leave much room for saving or planning for long-term stability. Rising costs of basic living make it increasingly difficult to allocate resources toward future investments. By securing donations, I could eliminate outstanding debts and pay bills in advance, alleviating financial stress and allowing me to focus on creating a stable environment for my child. This relief would not only provide immediate security but also enable me to make great financial decisions that ensure lasting peace of mind for my family.

I am committed to using these funds responsibly, implementing financial goals,  manage spending, and accommodating my child with the items needed to support her special needs to ensure self-sufficiency. This assistance is more than just financial support—it is a wonderful life-changing opportunity for us to have the home we truly need. A donation would be an investment in their well-being, their future, and their ability to flourish in an environment built with love, care, and accessibility in mind.

I’d really appreciate any consideration given to my request. Every contribution brings me one step closer to turning this dream into reality. Thank you for your generosity and kindness for making a profound difference in my family’s life.

Sincerely,
Special Needs Mom
