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.

Just need help for me and my children

Hello There,
I have two problems right now
but my CHILDREN’S problem comes first.

When i got pregnant with my first boy my grandmother set us up with a place to live.
recently she kicked me and both of my children out just to move the father of my children in. she completely cut us off (& not money wise)
she stopped helping with rides, stopped helping me get side jobs, she stopped buying the kids the stuff they needed.
we have been bouncing back and forth from my friends house.
I really need 500-1000$ or less just to help out, my boys need new shoes and clothes, they grow fast! my oldest needs school stuff. we have medical bills ect. I Have been trying to get on my feet. school, a job. something. i want to go back to school to get a good education and good job for my babies, but i also need a job to get a car, our own place, own things (my grandparents kept most of our stuff) But then i have an issue with a babysitter. my grandparents is the only family i have left, so i have no other family to help. i don’t have money to afford one nor do i trust day cares.

My issue personally is that i want to get my teeth fixed, i have modelled off and on since i was 16, but im very self conscious around people and taking pictures, i feel like i could actually make a career, not have such anxiety over meeting and talking to people.
but like i said my children always comes first.
I understand if you can not help out.
there are so many people in the world.
but i just want to thank you for listening to our story,
have a blessed day

Getting back on my feet

I am trying to get back on my own two feet. I left my marriage of 21 years with the help of my best childhood friend. It was abusive from the start & over the course of the decades that followed became so bad that I believed the only way out was to die, either by the hand of my husband or by the depression that carved a hole inside me. I became a shell of the person I used to be. My friend helped me to see that I was worth saving & I left. The road to recovery was long & confusing because I had been with my husband since I was 16 so he was all I knew. I recall wondering how to act, what to say & even day to day activities were a mystery without the instruction I had been accustomed to for so long. I found myself apologizing for everything & I lacked the confidence to apply for a decent job. My friend owned a metal shop & he was a huge help to me in relearning how to live my life on my own. I worked along side my buddy in his shop for two years & slowly I came out of my shell. We even became room mates & later became business partners. My kids & I were finally happy. It was the perfect home; respect, love & trust were given to us right off the bat which was very strange to us but soon we got the hang of it & we laughed, had the freedom to our opinion’s & became the family we were always meant to be. Then one morning out of the blue my buddy had a stroke while driving. He was lucky not to injure himself further or hit anyone else on the road. It was a mild stroke caused from blood clots that formed in his heart. His heart was weaked to 25% functionality due to a heart attack that was thought to be indigestion or some other form of “not a big enough deal to go see a doctor” & it will pass illness. We were hopeful as the diet changes, workout plan & the wide variety of new bottles filled our medicine cabinet. The car was repaired but it seemed like my friend was not so easily to bounce back. He took some time off work to recover, which I thought was a great idea. So, for the two and half weeks that followed we stuck to the good eating plan, watched tv in our underware, played monopoly till’ the wee hours of the morning & gave our spa more use in that two weeks than it had in its lifetime. I handled the business matters from my phone when possible but I had to go in this particular morning for a face to face meeting with potential clients. I drove the treacherous 8 block commute back to the house & realized at that moment how happy my life was, how thankful I was to be alive & how the little things make life so great. My old friend declared his true love for me & confessed to loving me since high school. He left town heart broken, when I told him one night, way back then, that I was going to marry the biggest mistake of my life. Things made so much more sense now. We talked all night & in the morning he got on one knee & asked me to be his wife. I accepted proudly. He slid the ring on my hand & left the room to make breakfast. I used the bathroom & remember thinking how shitty I looked first thing in the morning. I jumped back in bed waiting for my fiancé. I asked if he needed help but no answer. Instantly my heart sank & my worst fears were confirmed at I approached the kitchen & saw him laid out on the floor. I ran so fast that my bare feet slid around the corners, leaving carpet burns on the balls of my feet. It seemed like an eternity to unlock my phone, open the dialer & get a 911 operator. “Ambulance” I yelled as I ran back to him. “Please!” I begged “He’s had a stroke…again. This isn’t supposed to happen. Please”

Unfortunately, my friend, my partner, my fiancé, my world was gone.

At the time I didn’t have a clue what to do. This man who claimed to be a good friend promised to help me out in my time of need. Which turned out all bad. In less than three months this friend stole everything of value from my home & my shop. My kids & I left with a secret one hundred dollars & a work truck.

We are staying with friends now, safe but long to have our own place one day. I sold the truck & purchased a jeep but have since had issues with, no longer runs reliably & tags are expired. I lost my job as a result.

So, I’m asking for any leads on jobs I can do from my phone, money to insure, tag & repair my car or buy a running used car, or possibly  someone feels generous, maybe a  bit of cash or even a loan to buy a small mobile home to call my own? Any help at this point will be very much appreciated. My paypal is paypal.me/LindseyBrewer

Thank you for reading my story.

Family of 11-five adopted

I have been faced with life long trauma. From being taken from my mother as a child, being put into adoption in separate homes from my siblings, being able to once again life with my mother, Sexual abuse for many years, emotional abuse, and so much more.
Through all of it I have remained strong with my chin up. But I am pleading for help. Begging. Please help me. I cannot express enough what this would do for my future.
I could finally try to get ahead and make something better of my life. I need this tremendously.
I hope that I would be able to use any remaining money to assist not only my family but other families who have been members of abuse. I believe that world peace is possible. I hope to one day be a major part in that.

My name is Ms. Davis, I am hoping that I will please get through to someone! I recently had to resign from my hired position of CCA, with the USPS, due to my miscarriage. My body has been unable to withstand the extreme temperatures of the Tucson heat while trying to recover from the internal trauma. I have been in recovery for the last month and a half now. It is still a daily fight to keep myself moving forward. I had to resign from my position with the USPS after being unable to perform. I will able to be rehired but not until I am well enough.
This is not the only traumatic experience I have been through. I had to have a life saving surgery after my internal organs began shutting down. I was unable to eat or drink anything for over 16days. If I did not have the procedure when I did the doctors stated that I would have passed within 24hrs. The recovery from that is life long. I will unfortunately be suffering from this for the rest of my life.
I paid to go to school to be a Truck Driver and I am still struggling to pay back the school debt. I am also unable to drive due to my medical recovery. I am experiencing financial hardship, as well as, emotionally. With medical bills that wont stop coming, in addition to all other expenses; phone, gas, rent, utilities, just so many things. I cannot express wholeheartedly enough that it would change my life. I am a very strong willed individual who has continually faced hardship after hardship. I hope you can find in your heart to allow me help me with opportunity. I cannot express or emphasize that enough.
This is a sincere and earnest plea that I pray doesn’t fall to deafened ears. Throughout every struggle and hardship I have faced I have always come back with more tenacity and willpower then I had before. I am a hard worker; I strive for greatness and success in all aspects of life. Although faced with undeniably extenuating circumstances, I overcome.
When initially hired by the USPS earlier 2017, I was subpoenaed to court to testify in what may be one of the most heinous crimes you’ll ever hear of here in Tucson. I was the one of the victims of Mr. Kellywood, a man who committed sexual assault to myself for over 7 years, and to his adopted daughter for 3 years. This man stood trial proclaiming innocence and was found guilty; he has been sentenced 95-life in prison with no chance of parole. All information on the case is now public knowledge and I will attach a link for you to view and can validate its legitimacy. I have been under amazing stress and I have performed to the best of my ability! I do not now, nor will I ever, allow myself to be taken by grief or depression. I have fought face to face with the most unjust, and have miraculously come out as a survivor.
I greatly appreciate your time and reading through my message. I expressed to you my most humble request for your support in the opportunity. I hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
Chelsea

Single Mom Determined to make a Life changing commitment

Hi, I’m Naomi Rangel a single mom of a 14yr old son that’s very smart and athletic. He’s an A/B student, respectful, friendly, and an overall good kid.  I have issues with my health I have type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, carpal tunnel in right hand, osteoarthritis in both knees, and overweight. My dr referred me to a Bariatric Surgeon to get Gastric bypass surgery. Which is a life changing commitment that I’ve decided to do. Getting it done will get me off insulin, make my sleep apnea go away, help the pain in my knees, and help me lose the weight. While at the same time get me physically active to live a longer life to enjoy my son. I grew up on a cotton/grain farm working hard labor to help my family out to get school clothes and a week of camping as our vacation. We lived on venison, rabbits, wild hog, fish, crabs, shrimp, and vegetables. Never did I feel bad that I didn’t have material things like other kids.  I have never taken my son on vacation or even camping. I’m on SSI $1170 monthly and $65 monthly in food stamps, after my bills I roughly might have some left over for a pair of shoes, or pants or a shirt for my son. School starts August 16 and I’ve bought him pencils here, folders there, and paper as I find it on sale. So I’ve shared my life with you not to feel sorry for me but to have empathy. I’ve always worked hard never expecting anything to be given to me. My parents are deceased so I have to do this on my own. My insurance covers my surgery but not program fees $395 or exercise consult fee $45, or supplements for before and after surgery $160 give or take. I thank you for your attention to my request.  The total of help I need is $600.  paypal.me/NaomiRangel

Single Mom Struggling

Hello,

I’m desperately looking for help. I am a single mother of 2 wonderful, happy, brilliant children, aged 8 and 9. I had them young, and their father and I bought a house a a young age, given a loan we should not have been given, signing papers we had no business signing at our ages. He left me 7 years ago, along with the bills. I was left with heaps of debt, and our house ended up getting foreclosed on a couple years later, as I just could not possibly keep up with the bills on my own. This forced bankruptcy on me at age 24, which has ruined my credit, and my financial situation all together.

I have been doing my best. I work 2 jobs. I have been trying my hardest to fix my credit, and get back on my own 2 feet. Ive been staying positive, and working really hard, doing all that I can while staying true to myself to make money to give my kids a decent life.

I’ve thought that the only way I’ll be able to get back on my feet is to do what so many women turn to – utilizing their bodies and gender to make the money they need for their children – but I cannot bring myself to take away who I am. I’d rather be happy and broke trying to figure out how to make ends meet with my children next to me, than turn into someone who has lost herself, who doesn’t understand true happiness anymore, who is numb. I never want my kids to think of me as weak, and I want them to be proud of me, to look up to me, to know that they do truly make me happy. And so I need to keep myself in a place where I can keep smiling around them. Which can be tough sometimes when going through this rough patch in life.

I live in a very small studio apartment. I struggle paying the bills, while trying for 3 years now to save for a space that I can give my children. That they can be proud of.

My children are so supportive of me. They’re so understanding. When I need to leave for work again I can see the sadness in their eyes that I won’t be around, but they still do their best to keep their tears inside, to tell me that they love me before I leave, to give me the best hugs. They don’t ask me for anything. They really are magnificent kids. They’re everything to me.

I need help to save money to get them a place to live where they can have their own space. they’re getting older, and different genders, and the constant closeness is wearing on them. My daughter, especially, is in need of her own space. Every now and then her brother will get on her nerves just do to so, and she’ll break down in tears asking how she can help me so she can have her own space. She tries to make crafts and asks me to sell them for her so she can contribute.

We’re trying. We really hard. I’m hitting a breaking point. Every month I wonder how I can cut my costs even more so that  I can save even just $10/month towards our goal. I often sacrifice meals in order to make sure I’m saving at least a little toward our goals.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, that alone means the world to me. It’s embarrassing to ask for handouts, and it’s not where I thought my life would take me. Anything at all helps, I’m not asking for any outrageous amount of money from any one person. I’m just trying to find any way that I can to give these kids the life they deserve, and help saving up for that would enhance our lives in such a monumental way.

My daughter has stated that she will make a craft personally for anyone who can help us out at all as a thank you. She said she wants to make sure that if someone helps us that she can give them a smile.

Again, thank you so much for your time,

-Danielle

Please help a pregnant woman to provide for her unborn baby

Hi. My name is Barbara. I am from Hungary but I am living in Bournemouth, England for a while now. I would like to ask if you could help me financially. I am pregnant and will be a single mum. The father of my child broke up with me not long after I found out that I’m pregnant and I haven’t heard from him since. I have a job but only been employed at this company for a few months which is not long enough to get even statutory maternity pay. I will be getting only a little amount of money from the job centre which is hardly enough to pay the rent and bills. I have to find a new flat to rent too because where I live now is not suitable for a baby. When moving to a new place I will need to pay a month and half or even sometimes two months rent as deposit up front plus another one month rent and agency fees. I don’t know how am I going to afford all this because I don’t have any savings. I’ve never earned enough to save any money. I also have to buy lots of things for my baby but don’t even have money to buy any pregnancy clothes for myself. I hardly fit into any of my clothes now:( Please help me. Anything you kindly give me and my baby will help. Thank you.
Regards Barbara

Help me make a living again please please please…

Hello, I’ve been searching for someone to help me for months and months. I hope you will find the time to read my message. I am 35 years old and have had a rocky start in life with two alcoholic parents whom I do not speak with anymore. I was given to a children’s home from the age of 12, but ran away from it at the age of 16 to Wales in the UK as I wanted to pursue a better life. I never finished school but when I was in Wales I was accepted into college and then went on to get a degree in business and taught myself web coding. I now have a daughter who is 13 years old, she is my everything. I work full time self employed as a web designer and have done for the last 5 years. It has been up and down and I have had to work several other jobs alongside my web designing to be able to pay bills and put food on the table. Because of illness last year I have accumulated about 20,000 pounds in debt and pay this off at about 2,000 a month…all my earnings go on paying my debts. I go to work to not make a living but to pay debts. I get phone calls every day about debts that I owe and when I can pay them. I am on depression and anxiety medication and have considered selling myself to be able to pay off all my debts. I am suicidal and just don’t see I way out anymore. The only thing that keeps me from ending it all is my daughter. I am desperate for someone to be able to help me, I can’t get any loans to pay it off, I have spoken to my creditors to be able to pay them off in smaller bits but they will only accept the amount which I am paying now. I have tried to get as much work in as possible but it is still not enough. I just need someone to help me be able to this debt off or lend me 20,000 pounds that I can pay off in smaller chunks so that my daughter and I have some money at the end of the month to live on. I will do anything in return for you being able to help me. Please please I don’t know what to do anymore Xxxxxxxx

Let your faith be bigger than your fears

I have nearly lost all hope in myself.  I used to think I could move mountains- my dreams were big and my journeys bigger but I always managed to come out on top.  Lately, my resolve is fading and I find myself perpetually preoccupied with concocting ways to overcome my financial distress.  My mind is up to no good- going over crazy ideas on how I will get out of this situation.  But nothing is working  anymore and I find myself feeling desperate.  So, while always being on the verge of tears, I stop to remind myself all that I am thankful for-my lovely 9 year old, happy, athletic, bright son, my amazing job teaching in a high-poverty area high school, my health

You see, I am a single mom, a high school English teacher and a woman who has amassed debt that is about to break me.  No, I do not live above my means, I have an old car, a small house, and enough to keep my son and I looking like all is well.  But, I am drowning.  I have not been able to afford the HIGH payments for my student loans (I have a career that requires me to stay on top of the educational world and attain higher degrees, but my pay as a high school teacher does not compete with what I owe.) And Navient, the loan tyrant, has finally brought me to my knees.  I had to resort to using my credit cards to pay for bills so I could in turn pay for my $500 a month loan payments, but I can’t keep up anymore.

With a masters and doctoral degree I am sure I could obtain a higher paying job- but then who would raise my amazing child?  The local daycare that I can’t afford?  And who would remain in the classroom for me? I was born to teach.  I love my students and my job and I know I am building a better future for our world by positively building up kids who have even less than I do.  I can’t leave them.  And I need to show my son that I still canmove mountains.  I just need a helping hand and a fresh start. Consider helping me, and I promise I will donate my time to each one of my lovely students, showing them they are worthy and able to climb their own mountains.With many thanks,

with great sincerity,

A dream no longer deferred

I am a single mother of 4 great kids. In April of 2016 I decided to relocate my family to Baton Rouge Louisiana. As a teacher, I felt a strong desire to come here to teach. On my way here I was contacted and eventually hired to teach at a local elementary school.

Theh August of 2016 happened. We had just gotten settled when the home we were renting was affected by the flood. Needless, to say I was stressed. Fortunately, a coworker that did know me at all offered to allow us to stay with her family.

 After staying with a family we were blessed to be able to move back into our rental home. However, there is now a rodent infestation due to the flood causing access to the house. Although the rodent issue is something that can be rectified over time, the safety of our neighbourhood is not. Last week, while thankfully my children were at summer camp, I was home alone when two intruders broke in through a window. While I wasn’t harmed and nothing was taken, it has become very apparent that this neighbourhood is no longer conducive for raising children. I fear both day and night that the intruders will return and we might not be as lucky next time. As a single parent, and a female, I feel the best thing that I can do for my children and their safety is to move to a better neighbourhood. It is for these reasons that I am asking for your help! I have been approved to purchase a home in a safer neighbourhood with better schools, and I have come up with most of the needed $9000. With that being said I am still in need of $2,200. If just 22 of my fiends would make a one time contribution of $100 all my work will not be in vain. As a teacher I have worked hard and sacrificed in order to make this dream a reality for my family. Thank you in advance for you help and consideration in securing God’s plan for my family. Even if you are unable to contribute please share our story on your page or with family and friends.

Works two jobs Just needs a little help

Hi, I am one of the millions of people who lost their job.  I lost everything, my house, I gave my son to my husband to watch, and my fiancee.  I got a job but it was not paying anywhere close to what I used to make.  I then started a second job to make up difference.  I have always been a hard worker and this has thrown me.  BUt I will not give up. I have not defaulted on my car or my cards, but I could not pay for my car tag.  I have two tickets due to the expired tag and have been taking lyft and uber.  This totals to sometimes 600 dollars a month.  My car tag is $1500.  I have been trying to save but the lyft and uber bills are draining my paycheds.  Can someone please help me?  I appreciate all the help given

Thank you!

Hard Working Single Mom

I am a single mom of two amazing kids who works 50 hrs a week and can not seem to make ends meet. I sat down to write all that has gone awry in the last year for me but it began to sound made up. In a nutshell, my husband and I separated after 8 years of marriage and divorced, I soon after began dating but a year later I took my kids and ran after my boyfriend beat me up in December.

Since then I have been struggling to get by. I take care of my two kids and my developmentally disabled mother in an 800sf town home. I work 50 hrs a week and struggle every month to feed and clothe my kids.

I have been putting off dental work and have had to have 4 teeth pulled and another three need either pulled or root canals, my veneers I had put on while a newlywed have begun breaking and I have to wear a retainer to fill the gap from the front tooth that fell out a few months ago because I can’t afford a new implant.

My car works but I dread the day something goes wrong.

If you want to talk to me, I can provide proof of everything, from bills and pictures to paperwork.

I’ve no family to ask and I have never done anything like this before. I have too much pride to ask my friends.

Thank you for reading. Again feel free to ask for proof. I’m not a fake. Just a woman who has tried hard and been knocked down WAY too much.

Please Help Us!

I need finding work and money as well. Times has been really rough for us, as I’m sure it has been many others. My daughter is the only in the home that’s employed, and she can’t take on all the rent and the bills by herself. I have been applying for jobs left and right. Right now at this moment our gas and water are on the verge of being disconnected.The utilities are constantly getting shut off in the house. I have a younger daughter who looks up to me, and I just feel like the biggest failure in the world. I can’t even afford to buy her a pair of shoes. Sometimes I get so depressed until I feel I can’t go on and don’t want to go on. I hate thinking about taking my own life, but at times I just can’t seem to help it. Sometimes I look up to the heavens and ask God where are you, because I don’t think I’m going to last another day. I would appreciate  your prayers. I’m not stupid or anything. I went to college but just can’t seem to find work in my field. I have been searching and will take any job that comes along. I hate feeling desperate and helpless. This is one of the worst feelings any human being can feel. When people are forced to choose between having the necessary necessities for their children and doing something illegal to bring money into the house, what would you do? It’s sad when people feel they have to do something that’s beneath them to keep the water running or buy shoes to put their child’s feet. You would think some of these so called Christians or children of God would help you, and knowing your situation right? I had an appointment yesterday with Human Services for help getting my water and gas bill paid. I accidentally took my daughters expired bus pass and got on the bus then had to get right back off. I got off the bus and began to cry and immediately called Human Services and told them what happened. I told the receptionist I could go home and get some change and catch the next bus that should arrive by 10:12 am. She said that will too late, she said her supervisor was fresh out of afternoon appointments, and I replied, but I will there on this morning not this afternoon. She said I will have to reschedule you for next week, and cried, begged and pleaded, please don’t do this when you know my utilities are on the verge of being disconnected any day now! Do you think they cared? No. They don’t care if you sell your to the devil in order to keep things going in your house. There I was just standing there crying my eyes out as people were passing by and thinking about stepping out into the road and just ending it all. If there’s anything anyone can do I would appreciate it. Thank you very much for reading, and have a blessed day.  Ms. Venice.

Mother desperately needing your generosity to get home to her boys!

FB_IMG_1499290091899.jpg Hey there my name is Xemenia and those two beautiful boys are mine. We desperately need your help to make our family whole again. It is a very long story, but I will give you the readers digest. I am originally from Mississippi, but a little a year ago I came to California to go to treatment and turn my life around. Yes I am an addict in recovery. I now help others get into treatment. But it is now time for me to go home and fix the mess I left there in active addiction.

My 76 year old grandmother is watching my six year old son. She broke her pelvis and can no longer walk and desperately needs my help. Also he was playing outside about two months ago and got hit by a truck, so naturally I am scared for his safety now that she can’t get up and get around. All of this combined has cause DHS to get involved with my children. A scary situation. I am just glad I am sober now and able to step up and be their mother they deserve. My 11 year old is with his father and will not speak to me until I come home. I made him a promise that I would, but then I got laid off… Which has led us here.

I know most of you are thinking I made this mess I need to fix it. I am trying, but I have no family that can help me nor any so called friends that can help me. And I need some help right now. That is why I reaching out to the internet and you if your reading this.

If you donate to this cause the money will go towards a ticket home from California to Mississippi. Anything after that will go to put a roof over my head ( I plan on finding an oxford house/ sober living near my boys ) and support myself till I can started working there. I really would love to buy my boys birthday presents too honestly. They both had birthdays in the past month.

Also if you donate you can follow the journey through my blog at www.xemeniad.wordpress.com

I hope you can find it in your heart to make this dream come true for my boys and myself. Even if you don’t donate please say a small prayer or send good vibes for us, that this happens.

Help me reach my goal

I’m a 23 year old mother of 3 beautiful children. (5 year old and 2 year old twins) Growing up as a kid I never really imagined my life the way it is now. I always imagined me finishing high school then off to college but i guess life had other plans for me. I became pregnant with my first child when I was only 17 years old. I never planned on having a child so very young and i knew i let my mom and dad down. So much was going on that year. 3 months before i became pregnant my twin brother passed away and from that point on it felt like life been so hard. My family was once so very close but after the tragedy of my brother we started drifting apart. I spent more time with my boyfriend at the moment than i did with my own family. I became pregnant months later and was so scared and afraid I even thought about having an abortion but my heart wouldn’t let me do such a thing. When i announced that i was pregnant with my first child everyone was so excited ! I was shocked but relieved at the same time . It brought us back closer together as a family like we used to be. After giving birth i was able to start working at my very first job and I managed to move out my moms house and into my very own apartment. I was so happy . A few years later I became pregnant with twins. Even though neither one of my pregnancies wasn’t planned i am so very blessed to have 3 beautiful kids in my life. Things got so hard for me trying to manage work, can’t afford daycare or having a hard time even finding a babysitter. I had to only work part time which meant less money things are really bad for me financially but with faith i am still going. My dream growing up was to attend college and become a registered nurse. And today that dream is still the same . I would love to become a nurse because I love helping people I believe that’s what I am destined to do. I’m trying to better myself by going to school part time, then starting a career I only dreamed of and continue being a great mom. That’s the reason im here now is to ask for financial help. The money will go towards nursing assistant classes, kids, gas money etc. So Anything will help me $5, $10 or $30 I’ll be grateful with whatever you guys are willing to give . Please and Thank you.

Keep us safe

Hi I know a lot of you have heard the single mom thing a lot and I’m not putting single moms down. I’m a single mom of 4. I have a great job. I thought I had a great partner and step father for my children but I was wrong. He started to get verbally and emotionally abusive months ago. I tried to over look it as stress from his job. Then a few weeks ago I stumbled on some emails of his to other women. He’d been cheating for months. My heart broke not just for me but my kids too. When I confronted him about it he got irrate denied everything when I told I had proof I had the emails he got physical with me. I knew then that we would have to leave. If he’s going to cheat once he will continue. If he’ll put hands me once he will do it again. I sat my kids down and talked to them. I found he’d been verbally abusive to them and had been physically abusing both of the services dogs we have. I knew it was only going to get worse the longer we stayed. I’ve tried for weeks to find a place for my kids and me but it’s close to impossible when I’m paying all the bills were we are and taking care of my kids. I can pay my bills once I get into a place it’s just the getting into a place. I need help I can’t come up with 2500 plus to get into a place and to get moved. I can’t afford not to pay my bills here were we are. I’ve gone through every avenue I can think of and nothing. I’m getting desperate I’m terrified to leave my kids and go to work I’ve no idea what will happen while I’m gone. We have no family it’s just us and no one I know can help. If anyone out there can help us get out of this bad situation please help.

Thank you for your time

Help me lift some burden off my shoulders

Hello,

I come to you in humility and shame. I am a single mother, trying to raise my 10 month old daughter in Las Vegas. I was let go from my job, due to my inability to find an affordable care taker for my daughter. I have no family here in the states. I moved here to Las Vegas from Hawaii to seek a fruitful life.  But I encountered what was not in my plan…seeking bankruptcy, loosing my job, never ending bills, and dept added to my name. I’ve meet ends meets. I am seeking government help but i got denied due to my job earnings (when i was working). Now I can’t find any means of help but a cry in plea for monetary help. I have a mortgage to pay, my vehicle, credit cards that I have maxed out and savings that I have depleted. I am a good person who doesn’t spend irresponsibly. Material things won’t buy my happiness. Just to know that my bills are paid, and my daughter is being taken cared of. Suffering from students loans has reached so deep into my pockets, I regret going to school to earn an education. I am a graduate of an accredited nursing school. I have failed the NCLEX licensing exam two times. I have a fear of taking it again and failing. Its been a long time coming and I hope and pray that I can use what I have learned in school to make a living for myself and my daughter. I thought I could handle this on my own. But I was wrong. Going to sleep is the hardest this to do. Knowing that the next morning, I still have dept collectors calling for me, asking to schedule a payment. The never ending calls of unknown numbers. Some I already recognized. At times I wish that I didn’t have some much burden on my shoulders. My daughter has added more responsibilities onto my plate but I would not have it any other way. She has been a blessing to me. I beat myself up because I cant give her the life that she deserves. Mommy is trying really hard sweetheart, but mommy is struggling. I’m grateful that my daughter doesn’t have to suffer; she does get her WIC benefits for milk and baby food. I hope that this shall continue until Mommy can get back on her feet. Please if anyone can help my situation out, I’d greatly appreciate the help.

Single mom needing help

My name is Kelsey, I’m we years old, I have a son, Brendan, who just turned 3 on the June 21. He was born 10 weeks early, weighing 2lbs 14oz, but you wouldn’t think so just by looking at him now and he is smart! His Dr was estaic about how fast he caught up. Although 2014 was a rough year, 2017 has already chewed me up several times and spit me back out. January 6, my son’s dad was sent to rpf for 9 months to a year, so I I’ve been doing the single  mom thing for a while now, I began to get depressed, all I did was go to work, come home, no free time, no myself time, and the days just seemed to run together. February 2, I lost my grandma. I felt awful because I hadn’t seen her in such a long time, because I couldn’t handle that she couldn’t remember who I was, my parents were, and she’d always bring up my weight, she never met my son because I was being selfish. I think about that every day:( So that just added to my depression. A couple weeks pass, and on February 20, I lose my only brother. He was killed instantly by a 51 year old woman who crossed the yellow line and hit him head on. He was 5 minutes from home, only 32, 4 kids, a wife. To this day I’ve never heard a bad thing siad about him. I lost alot of faith that day, and really just wanted to give up. My mother wouldnt go to his funeral, and that broke me even more. Itl then hit the lowest darkest point in my life. Time passed I met a guy through a supposed friend. And he pulled me out of the hole I’d put myself in to escape,only for him to use me and leave, but that’s okay, because he truly did save me. Fast forward to now, I lost my job on 22 of June. So now I’m looking for work and I’ve applied seberplaces and have upcoming interviews. But this doesn’t stop the bills. I don’t qualify for food stamps. My son is still in pull ups because he thinks if funny to go beside the potty or behind the house, rent, car insurance, and electric, the electric company made a mistake and closed my account and used my deposit to pay for most of the bill besides 50 dollars, I had no clue what was going on when I got up one day with no electric, they shut mine off thinking it was my neighbors so I had to call, open a new account, they told me id have to pay another 220 dollar deposit and it’s be on my bill and I would get it in about 6 weeks. I still haven’t received anything from them except a letter about the 50.30 that I owe. I’m trying so hard to keep my son an I off the street, or moving in with anyone, and til I find a job, which I’m praying this week! I am putting my pride away and asking for any type of help I can get, if it wasn’t for my son it wouldn’t be a huge deal. But he’s my world and I’ll do anything to make sure he’s feed, safe and warm. I hate asking for help but I don’t know what else to do because I’m already already truly trying and doing the best I can.

Thank you for reading, if you can’t or dont want to help I completely understand, if you can or want to thank you and God bless.

Single Mom, PhD, Trying to Fund a Future for Me and My Daughter

‘If the baby rolls off the table, she will learn not to do that anymore.’ That’s what the father of my child told me.

My beautiful and bright daughter is now almost four and doing just fine. I made sure of that. The cost—endless threats of lawsuits from her father, some of which are initiated and then dropped after I’ve spent loads of money I don’t have on a lawyer. I’d take him to court myself, but there is the likely possibility that he will get visitation anyway, according to my high profile lawyer. That is a risk I will not take. The cost of that—no child support.

I don’t want to whine about my life. Things could always be worse. We are relatively healthy and very happy, so long as the father is out of the picture.

The lack of child support seems a small price to pay, but with my other financial difficulties, I am at a crossroads. I can either take any dead-end job I can find, which most certainly will not cover both my rent and student loan payments, or, I hope, take a new direction, try to make something of myself to create a better future for me and my daughter.

The current situation: I have two Master’s degrees and a PhD, I have an upcoming book, and I have years of professional experience. The American dream. This has left me with nearly a quarter million in student debt, no professional job prospects, and currently about $200 of income per month, working as a freelance editor. I have been looking for other editing jobs (my main profession for the past five years) since November 2016 and have found nothing further—and I am no stranger to the game. I have now exhausted my savings.

The hope for the future: What I would love to do is write. My upcoming book won’t pay anything since it is an academic publication, but it does show that I can write and that I can finish a book. I am hoping that you might have faith in this—faith in me—as well. I am currently putting together a book proposal on popular history. The problem—it takes time to write a proposal, to write the sample chapter(s), to find an agent, and, finally, to get a book deal. I can’t do that, work full-time (and needed over-time), and take care of my daughter. If I can succeed with this publication—and I am confident I can so long as I can manage my funds long enough—I hope to use my advance to fund my next book project. I hope to dig myself out of this hole. I hope for a future—for me, and, above all else, for my daughter.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I don’t want to take money I haven’t earned, but I feel at a loss for a better alternative. I know there are people in greater need and one day I hope to be the one giving donations. Any amount would be immensely appreciated. Seriously. $1 could get my daughter an activity book. And her smile lights up my life. If you have nothing to give, I’d be thankful for shares or even good vibes. Thanks again!

Hi my name is carli, i came to this website in hopes to find help with getting my first car or apartment help.
I have two beautiful kids and am currently being evicted from my apartment and have to go live with my mom, grandma, and step dad. I am getting evicted due to me letting the father to my kids come spend time with our kids and he brought his dog, in my eyes i did nothing wrong, it’s a felony to leave an animal in a car. Its heartless.
My car situation is rough because I was with a guy that stayed with me till we saved up enough money to buy a vehicle, well he ended up leaving state with the car very soon after, i lost my job and my babysitter. Am in the works right now waiting on applications to be called back on for a job. with all the extreme events happening right now i feel like my world is crumbling underneath me and i have no way to prevent it. I just need help purchasing a vehicle that will fully be mine and or help with getting into an apartment. Thank you for your time and consideration its greatly appreciated.

My Children and I are in dire need of help

I am a single mother of five daughters and one son We have been residing in a hotel for the past six months, due to the fact that last place we were staying was suppose to be rent to own but the real estate company took me to court to evict me and didn’t acknowledge that fact I guess someone came along and offered them more money. I recently bought a mobile home, Aand took money that I got off of end of the year taxes to pay it off so that my children and I would not have to experience this again. Being that the hotel expense is eating away at my funds, I am unable to get the material for electricity wire raned and do what I need to do to so that we are able to move into our new home. I started purchasing cars at little cost and selling them for profit, to keep funds coming in. I was able to gain money of them in which having to still pay it out towards hotel fees, plus doing little things to try to speed up the process so we could move soon But just so happened I took a chance and invested 2500 into a nice car Buick Lucerne, that I was expecting to bring me a great profit. Ending up having to sell for a thousand dollars less then what I paid for it. Due to the fact that the transmission went out three weeks later. After selling that car I have two other cars one where the AC went out and an one that I am being forced to sell at little cost just to gain funds because of the simple fact that I am all out and right now as I speak trying to get the owner of the hotel to give me extra time to come up with more money to pay for this upcoming week bei that yesterday was the end of my paid week and it’s a little pass check out time. I did have two hundred dollars, but paid it as a deposit on down payment on a  bigger vehicle in which I have until Monday to pay the remaining for my children and I, being that I keep getting hit with child restraint tickets in which is costing me more money that I do have a job working for Davita Dialysis. In which I only work prn being that I decided to go back to school to become a licensed practical nurse after giving birth to my last daughter 10 months ago. School was going well until my husband and I separated,in which kind of caused me to lose focus So I decided to take some time off before I ended flunking out and destroying that goal. I really don’t have no where else to turn, well the children’s father,  every time I ask and tell him that we are in need of something it’s always I have to do this that and the other in which turns into an argument in which I don’t want to do, all I want to do is create a better life for my children and I. Right now anything would help.

IN NEED of a Co-signer or Loan

I am in need of a five month loan of $5000. and will sign a note to pay back in November

with $1000.00 interest.

The way I plan on paying this off is with money I am getting from land I sold that closed last November but pays out November of 2017. I will receive approximately $30,000.
(I can show the closing paperwork from the Title Company as proof)

The deal that we made with the buyers was that we would put a well and all the utilities onto the property and the buyer would pay us after the work was complete and the they went for their construction loan, no later than November 2017.

All the work has been done on the property and now we are just waiting for the payout.

I am in desperate need of a loan right now. I am drowning trying to keep up with paying off my debt and the anxiety of it all is literally making me sick :(

I have a title loan that is sucking a lot of my income and life has been overwhelmingly stressful.

I want to pay off my debt and improve my credit in the next 5 months and hopefully when the money comes in I will be able to put it towards buying a home for me and my kids.

I have worked hard all my life and I have never received a dime of child support.
I moved to Albuquerque 5 years ago and it took me awhile to find a job and get established.

I fell behind on bills but did manage to find a job and am proud to say I have earned my Real Estate licence and now have Qualifying Brokers license. Problem is, I haven’t been able to pay all the fees I need to be able to make money using that license. The fee’s are $1000.

I am slowly getting back on my feet but am afraid of the long terms affects not being able to keep up with my bills will have on my credit and in allowing me to get to that next level of my career and buying a home. My credit is not good enough right now to get consolidation loan to pay off my debt, which is what I believe will turn things around for me.

I am asking for either a co-signer or someone willing to loan me the money I need to pay off the Title Loan and other debts and pay my real estate fees so that I can try and improve my career.
This would be an incredible favor that would lift the weight of the world off my shoulders.

Putting this out there is a little scary and I am afraid of what the replies will be. I’m hoping for a miracle and praying this doesn’t attract the wrong type of people. I believe that there are good people out there and I just don’t know how else to reach out for help.

Thank You for taking the time to read this.

Mold, scams and homelessness

After months of searching for a home, and hotel hoping with my toddlers; I managed to save enough money to be able to afford a deposit on a rental home. My new found landlord seemed awesome. She offered to waive the deposit if I accepted responsibilities for minor issues throughout my lease. I thought fine. The home A ONLY needed major cleaning from the previous tenant that was evicted. A few knobs, shower head, cleaning, ect. NIGHT. MARE. I had to pay for inspection by the city before I could get lights on. Meaning I had no clue as to what worked or didn’t work in the home prior to electricity. I had to buy a meter box cover before they would inspect the house. Bypass all of that stress, now there’s a gas leak, crawl space mold that invaded the home, water leak that made the half bathroom floor fall in, leaving it inaccessible, the only full bathroom needed to be plugged in between baths. The kitchen sinks ran straight to the floor leaving IT inaccessible with the mold and water flooding. Reached out to the landlord by all means including a typed letter. Her response? Be out by the end of May because it’s rented for the 1st of June. Now, my toddlers and I are once again homeless, out of money and I’m breaking down. I’ve lost the last that we had in the storage today due to the public auction. I’m so broken. Please help. All I need is a home for my babies. I’ve poured all of my money into that bottomless pit.

Seeking help so I cant continue to work

I never thought at the age of 30, I would be a single mom that does not receive child support but I support 2 children because I chose to create them. I never thought that upon have a Masters degree I would be turned down after attending job interview after job interview because they do not want to pay what I need to continue to care for my family. I never thought I would turn to a donation site to seek out assistance, but I am in hopes that someone, somewhere can understand my situation.

In June of 2016, I was included in a company wide lay-off that did not provide any type of severance package and that came without warning. After I had just got a new car due to a promotion, I had lost my job. I turned to anything after that so that I could continue to maintain my home, the new car and child care for my kids. Needless to say by November of 2016, I had exhausted all I had in saving just to survive. I took to doing ride share in August of 2016 but unfortunately between what I needed to pay bills and what I was making, I was evicted from our home. I had to send my kids to live with friends so they had a roof over their head. I continued to look for employment and did rideshare at the same time yet still just continued to fall behind. When I was able to file my taxes all the money that I got back went directly to bills I was behind on.

I need help, I need to catch up on my car payment before that is taken too, which means the only source of income I have will be gone. I have tried for state assistance and I have been denied multiple times, I have gone and continue to go on countless interviews to be told I’m too over qualified. I feel beat down by society and anytime I post that I am willing to do odd jobs, help clean anything positive the responses I get are people who are looking to treat me as a prostitute and pay for sexual favors. That is just not how I was raised and I value my self respect and body far too much.

All I am seeking is help to catch my car payments up, but this is only part of it. I also have to renew my tags on registration and I also have to maintain insurance but I will work hard for that. Really being able to catch up on my car payment would be more than helpful so I do not lose the only thing I have left from the hard work I put into a professional career.

If you can find it in your heart to help me continue to work and provide for myself and children, we all would greatly appreciate the help.

Single working mom rebuilding life need little more help

I am mother of 2 girls, a 7 yr old and 5 yr divorced. My ex husband was very abusive and I am proud to say after 4 years of it I pressed charges and he went to prison, since his release he hasn’t paid any child support but at least we are out of that situation. Had to go through more struggles including living in a domestic violence shelter with my girls for 6 months and finally getting on section 8 and going to school and receiving my certified nurse’s aide license. I still do not have my drivers license or a vehicle and still walk half mile to work but we manage . I work at highest paid nursing home in town and can’t work in differnt town due to no car. Since I make more an hour my child care has gone up and rent is about to. I fell behind on rent on may since couldn’t pay everything and now I have to get caught up before we lose our home. Rent is 176 and due on the 5th and then a $5 dollar a day fee is added from there. I owe 567 as of today, 176 for may and June and 125 for May’s ate fees and 90 for June’s as of now. My next check will be enough to pay the rest of bills if I can just get rent caught up. I can’t work any more hours than currently am. Please help me continue on the path to becoming fully self sufficient and showing my daughters that no matter what happens they can always turn things around wirh hard work, determination, hope and ask for help or advice if needed . Thank you

Please help me and my son

Hi, my name is Tiffany! About 7 months ago I became a single mom and it has been a roller coaster ever since. Bryson and I were always taken care of by Brysons father, Chad. We were in a long term relationship for 10 years and he supported our family and provided anything we needed or wanted up until 7 months ago something changed like a flick of a light switch. That morning I got up and everything I had and knew was gone without any explanation. The only thing that keeps me going is my son. Bryson is 2 years old and he is diagnosed with autism and sensory processing disorder. He requires constant care, supervision, and multiple therapies that can last all day long which leaves me with no way to make ends meet. A daycare won’t provide the care Bryson needs and a daycare has told me that they have no where to place him because he can’t go in the nursery and he’s to delayed to go in with the toddlers his age. On June 28th, 2017 we will be homeless. I am 2 months behind on rent and the lights and water will be turned off in the next few days. It’s extremely important that Bryson doesn’t lose his home due to his disabilities. His home is the only place he’s able to be himself. It’s the only place he’s fully comfortable. It’s the only place he’s been able to make progress at and his therapist believes if he leaves his home that it will set him back months of progress which is why we are trying to do everything is our power to prevent him from losing his home. I am running myself crazy trying to keep him in the home he loves and provide him with everything he needs. I don’t have any family that can or will help. It’s just me and my son and there’s only so much I can do. If I could just get caught up on my bills I will have a chance to get back on my feet. Whoever might come across this and whoever might be reading this right now we are asking for your help. Any donations will help right now and will be greatly appreciated. Even if you can’t donate all we ask for is prayers. Please help us! Thank you!

Looking to help my mom

My mom has been a hero to me since I was a young child. She is strong, selfless, empathetic and courageous. She has been a caretaker to two of my aunts, my grandparents and my father.

When I was 14, my father passed away suddenly. He was the breadwinner of our family, as my mother took care of our family members and my two brothers and I. When he passed, my mother was suddenly left alone to raise three children.

She tirelessly worked two jobs to ensure that my brothers and I were never in need. She stressed the importance of education, and we all went to college with her support, emotionally and financially.

In the past two years, my mom has battled health issues. She was forced to get Obamacare, as her two employers didn’t offer insurance. This has been very costly for her, not to mention the subsequent medical bills she has received. Her home is also in need of repairs.

My mother asks for nothing. She has never asked my brothers and I for help, though we have all given it anyways. I know it bothers her to have to rely on the three of us, but we would do anything for her.

I know she is under a tremendous amount of financial stress. I would love to be able to ease this burden on her. She has done so much for me, that this is the least I can do for her. If I had millions of dollars, I would give it all to my mom. Unfortunately, I do not. However, I know that a few thousand dollars will feel like millions to her.

It’s my hope that someone out there can help me to relieve some stress that my beautiful, hardworking, loving mom is under. I would love to give her this gift.

Single Mother needed help ASAP

I really don’t know where to begin, I have been a single mother for some time now, I struggle everyday, for a baby sitter for work, food for the table, lights in our home, a roof over our heads, and gas in the car to get back and forth. My rent is 350, if 5 days late, 25 added on, my light bill usually run a little over 100, car insurance 213 a month.And probably after reading this far, your thinking, will she has a job, what’s the problem? All my money goes in to this piece of mess trailer were living in, I’m constantly, fixing something…. The roof, the pipes under my house, another water pump, sewer back up, the floors, 2 Windows and 6 more to go. I don’t even have a dime to my name for gas for the lawn mower to cut grass… I stay behind on something due to what I have to put in this place to keep something good for my kids. I have 2 boys. One is 1 and the other is 7. They are my life, they are my world, they are the only things that I have left in this world, it’s just me and them. I have no help on anything, no support from anybody, no family to call. I live paycheck to paycheck. And from that I barely have 20 dollars left to my name, most of the time is less than that! I don’t even remember the last time me and my kids really had money to do anything for ourselves. I’m close to almost 650 behind, in just 2 bills, the picture of the bills i post is what I got back in the beginning of April, but I still haven’t paid them, cause I can’t get up enough money, now there is more fees added and it has gotten higher and if I don’t pay these taxes by the end of next month, I lose everything! MY HOME! I can’t let everything i worked so hard for just be taken away from me! I have never asked for help and never depended on any body, cause I never had anybody, somebody gave me this website and said just check it out, it’s only letting me put one pic up and I have five pics all together. Lord I m praying this helps me in someway. My fingers is crossed and I’m praying as hard as I can! Thank you for reading and listening to my story and if you can understand where I’m coming from at all, please help me! And God bless you Lord’s angles! paypal.me/mami2817

Lifetime domestic violence survivor and single mother asking for help to complete a novel so that I can provide for my family.

Capture.JPGyy.JPG

I am a Domestic Violence survivor and single mother for over 20 years. My life has been a struggle growing up in an abusive environment and ending up in an abusive relationship that lasted 9 years. My spirit was broken down but I chose not to give up for the sake of my children. As a child, I had dreams and aspirations but somehow I found myself struggling to embrace hope in a world filled with pain. Even if I had nothing more, I could never conceive of letting go the one thing that kept me going and that was my Faith in God.

I had constant struggle and losses throughout most of my life as a single mother. My children and I experienced pain, hunger, fear, and loss but I still managed to pull through. Giving up was not an option especially when my children’s happiness and well-being was at stake. Somewhere during my journey, I managed to discover who God created me to be and that afraid little girl within me, no longer existed. Though my life has yet to find a place called home, I am fighting harder than ever, not only for my dreams but for dreams of my children and all who struggle to triumph over life’s battles. My discovery led me to explore the gifts that God has given me. His purpose for me was truly greater than my own struggles. All I had to do was to believe.

My life’s journey has always been linked to helping other people; I just never saw it as serving them. As I have grown to know myself, I have discovered that I have this huge heart that wants the best for myself and for others. That is when I decided to take a leap of faith and turn my dreams into reality. As a child, I was able to escape the reality of pain to a world of imagination. After all these years, I realized that I wasn’t just escaping reality, I had a special gift. I closed my eyes and searched deep into my soul and then I began to write. This is when I knew that God answered my prayers. He was just waiting for me to take the first step. That is just what I did, but I know that I would need the financial support to achieve this goal. I would like to ask for your support in helping me reach my financial goal to complete my first novel titled “Heaven Sent.” Heaven Sent is a novel based on fiction and incorporates romance, religion, drama, and action. It’s the epitome of Good versus Evil that goes above and beyond human imagination. I believe in bettering my situation so that I can provide a future for my children and I. Completing this novel will help me build a better financial future to support not only my family but I can finally find a place called home.

My true purpose in life is to help others and if I can raise enough funds to cover the cost of completing this novel, I can then reach a success that will allow me to build an organization that will support the financial and emotional needs of children and their families nationwide.

The sense of fulfillment this gives me, shows me my life’s true purpose.

Thank you from the depths of my heart and may God bless you.

Newly Single Mom Needs Summer Clothes for 3 kids

It’s been a hot one so far this summer in omaha. My kids are all in summer school and enjoying it for the most part. The girls summer school is more like a fun camp with field trips and loads of outdoors fun. Trouble is they don’t have much in the way of shorts and light t shirts and I can’t afford to get them anything. They also need bathing suits and keep asking me. Ethan didn’t grow as fast this year so he is all set. Thiugh his feet grew a few inches and he could use some shoes….again. It breaks my heart having to say no, not yet. I’m working on it when they ask me if I’ve gotten shorts or bathing suits yet.

It’s never a wonderful moment when you have to ask for help. I seem to be having this moment far too often and it’s not any easier this time or in this format. I am just as embarrassed. I just know that soon things will get back on track. I’m working on it. Making the changes necessary to get there. It’s just slow going as it seems some crisis occurs or road block pops up just as I gain momentum. I won’t give up. I have a plan. I have goals to give back as soon as possible. I will prevail. It took me far to long to build up the courage to leave the situation we were in. I kept waiting for things to change, for their dad to get better, I kept waiting for someone to tell me it was ok. Waiting is one of the major reasons we are living in a friends basement… sleeping on the floor. Not taking action myself is partly why we’ve lost nearly everything.  Fear lead me here. I no longer have fear. I let fear go. I am on disability and it’s no where near enough. But, I’ve applied for housing. I’ve been doing what I can to find a way to bring in some money. I feel confident. I know I can change things. And for now I digress… right now, in this moment I need help. I need some donations, and advice and sugge

Does anyone have size 8-10 girls shorts, shirts, or bathing suits? Sandals would be welcome also… boy and girls. Or does anyone know where I could get these things for free as I literally have $0 until next month? Could anyone spare $10-$20 for gas? We’ve overslept a lot and I’ve had to drive them to school and am now just about completely out of gas? I have doctors appts most mornings so gas is imperative. I do need help with an outstanding electric bill. I’m concerned it might hold me back from getting housing. It’s not my top concern right now… but any help is welcome

Thank you for reading. Thank you to all who have helped me by offering up suggestions, advice, hand me downs etc etc. in advance. I love you all. Don’t think I will take it for granted or forget even for a second. Your awesomeness will be repaid 10 fold one way or another. It had my personal guarantee. ;-)

Abusive relationship

I am 32 year old single mother of an amazing 14 year old boy. We have been through a lot. My situation has been bad for a very long time. I am living with my ex, who is very abusive emotionally and physically. In the last ten years he has punched me, hit me, thrown me around the house. He has separated my shoulder twice. Most recently was just about a year ago now. I still live with pain and the inability to use my left arm for many things. He has always used money against me as he has always made more than i and he has never provided me with any financial help other than the roof over my head. I have no close friends/family much due to him.  I am desperate to move on with my life and get my son and myself out of this situation. I have a decent job, but a mound of debt that I simply cannot seem to get ahead on. More than half of my debt is student loans from earning my associate’s degree in psychology. The rest is credit card debt from trying to make holidays and birthdays special over the years and my car. Total I need $50,000.  I have never been on a vacation, nor has my son due to the fact that I have never been able to afford to. responsibilities and bills always come first. My son has never been able to go to camp or experience, well, anything because I never have the extra money. I have never received any financial help from his biological father…he does not work or anything. I am stuck between a rock and a hard place. I make too much money to qualify for any state of federal assistance anymore but I simply do not make enough to pay off all of this and pay for a place of my own. A place my son and I can truly call home. Any help at all would be more than greatly appreciated.

Mom of 3 needs help with Title Loan

I have been working hard the past 15 years to try and better myself career wise so that I can stop having to live paycheck to paycheck.

I have succeeded to reach some of my goals by getting my real estate license and am working 30 hours a week at a property management company.  I’m trying to find a better job, because I don’t make enough to make ends meet. Part of getting a better job will be to be able to pay for my MLS fees so I can use my real estate license.  That will cost me approx $1000.  I can’t even think about that right now because I am drowning in debt and barely keeping my head above water.

I got a car title loan in September of 2016 to consolidate some debt and try and get ahead a little.  Worst mistake I could have ever made.  I  fell behind on the payments trying to juggle my living expenses.  Iv’e had to get small payday loans to try and keep up with the title loan payments and keep food on the table a roof over our heads and gas in the car.

It’s been one step forward and two steps back and I can’t see a light at the end of the tunnel.  Getting out f this debt just seems to be getting further and further out of reach.  I owe approx $7000.  to Title Max and they take half my income every month and basically I’m just paying interest and very little goes to principal.  I need my car to be able to drive to work and to drive my 14 year old son where he needs  to go.  I am sick with anxiety these days and can hardly sleep.

Now that I have a steady job, if I could just get out from underneath this title loan.  I feel I can launch myself to the next level of my career and be able to help myself and my 3 sons have a better future.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Please help me. I have 3 kids and I just lost my job.

Hello everyone,

My name is Lindsey Myers. I am 29-years-old. I am a single mother with 3 beautiful children. Their father passed away 6 months ago. It has been tough raising 3 children on my own but I have managed to power through it. Until recently, I had a corporate job that paid really well and I was able to provide for my family. However, about 3 weeks ago, a large group of people were laid off including myself. I have been constantly looking for work, going to interview after interview, paying for daycare, school, and babysitting out of my savings account. However, this is all to no avail. Since I am constantly spending money to make sure my kids (Matthew age 5, Emily age 3, and Carson age 14 months), I am very quickly running out of funds to pay for them. I am struggling to find a job in this economy. I want the best for my children and I hope that there is someone out there who is willing to help me out until I can get back on my feet. lindsey melissa emily and carson.jpg

I have done everything from sell my new car to using food banks to selling clothes and furniture. My rent is $1075 which is surprisingly low for the area I live in since I am from San Diego, CA. My husband’s life insurance has also been helping me get by but that too is depleting in funds. I have applied for government help with my bills and they are processing my paperwork but it is a timely manner and they refuse to expedite my paperwork as they do not see me as an emergency case.

I ask this of you. Please look at my family and our situation. Open your heart and let us in. I am not asking for much. I am simply asking the kind people of the world to help me and my children out so that they can continue to grow and be happy without struggles in their lives. Whether you can spare $1, $10, or $100 please spare it to my family. I am not sure what else I can say or do at this point. I am in desperate need for my family to get the help they need. I have given money to those in need before and I know it is a wonderful feeling when you can help others. I never thought I would be in a position in my life that requires me to ask others for help. My family has helped where they can but they are beginning to see me as a burden as well. I beg you, open your heart to me and my kids. I know that Matthew, Emily, and Carson would greatly appreciate your help if they could understand this fragile situation.

 

Thank you so much for all your help.

Hardworking Woman…Just Trying to make it.

Hi, My name is Alexis Bell. I am a 26 year old hardworking mother. Who loves her family and willing to go through fire(at times it feels like i am) to make sure my daughter has evertthing she needs to succeed in life. I work for a doughnut shop with 35hr a week at 7.75 an hr. Yea, not much to the eye on paper, but I pray and budget really well. We have managed to stay never know what welfare feels like. But,problems so occur. Like right now my 2001 Ford Focus that i was so proud to buy 3 yrs ago motor is blown. Like i said I work fir a doughnut shop which means that I am up very early. 2:00am to be exact so i can be on time at 3:00am. Its going to cost at least 1000.00 just to get another one. It cost me 20 bucks a day paying friends and family for rides to work amd just regular errands. I truly need help. I have no one i can ask for a large sum of money like 1000.00. Anyone that could possibly help me just doenst know how grateful I would be. I didnt know that this platform existed. I was grasping for straws when I ran across this website. Im not sure if this is real, but even if it isnt. It feels so good to just be able to air out my problem out without being judged. I just want to say thank you to any and everybody who supports me. And Beggingmoney for this platform. Thanks and have a great day.

Single Mom in Need of help.

Let my start by saying that I was totally against this. I never believed in going to strangers for help, but my mom suggested I at least try it if I have exhausted all of my options.

My name is Devitrice. I have a 1 year old daughter and I am 21 years old. I currently work for the post office, but I have one year until I enter a career position so I am part-time. I recently had to move on my own because living in a two bedroom apartment with my mom, her husband and my two teenage brothers and my daughter was getting way too crowded.

I am normally great with keeping up with my bills. I have never missed a car note, my rent has been on time, my other bills have been on time and my student loan has been on time. But with my job cutting back on hours for the part-time employeees, I recently had to take out a payday loan of 400 dollars to pay my carnote because my car had broken down before payday and I had to use the rest of my money for it. Some days I’m lucky if I get to work 6 hours. Most days I only get 4 hours before they send me home.

I’m behind on my rent and car note now because I’ve been in and out of the hospital recently because I had a serious kidney infection and I didn’t have good health insurance to cover the expenses so I had to come ot of pocket. Those hospital bills arent completely paid off but I am working on them. I’m not asking for a lot but anything will help weather its just one hundred dollars or fifty dollars. It will help. I’ve been trying to catch up on everything but it seems like one thing after another. I’m not asking to save my life. Just for a little help so that I don’t lose my apartment or my car. I’m not sure how this works, but God bless anyone who hears my cry for help. Or if anyone knows of a good work at home job that I can do to make a little extra cash, my email  is bdevitrice@gmail.com. Please contact me.

Urgent Help for Family

Hello my name is Deirdre and I am a single mother with three kids. I am reaching out because I am in need of a miracle. I have always worked very hard and taken care of my children and I know I mean the world to them. For the last year things have been very challenging for me I have Graves Disease which is an auto immune dysfunction with my thyroid it is called hyperthyroidism. I have had this medical issue for about 7 years. My thyroid problem is more aggressive. It makes me have heart palpitations, my memory is affected, I have no energy hardly, and I can barely stay focused. This prevents me from working and I have tried to stay on many jobs but its too much on me. With not being able to work I fell behind on my car payments and bills and I have reached out to family with no response and that made no sense to me being that I have always been there for family emotionally and financially. I lost my car which prevented me from going to the doctor. The bus doesn’t go every location in Augusta, GA causing me and my oldest daughter to walk to get to some places thats if we even have the money to ride the bus. This is hard for me because I do not have a lot of energy. Also my oldest daughter didn’t attend this school year because she was very worried for me and she wanted to make sure I was ok at all times. This was her senior year and I feel terrible because she missed everything and I really want her to go back to school and graduate. I was given medicine to take for it which seemed to work at first but I was on Medicaid to cover doctors visits and medicine then it was cut off because they stated that I didn’t fill out a paper for recertification that I did not receive. That leaves me without meds which are expensive without Medicaid and me not being able to go to the doctor. After waiting for months I have finally got my Medicaid reinstated so I can get meds or a procedure to help with my thyroid problem but I can not get to the doctor without transportation. I am reaching out for help getting a vehicle so I can get to the doctor to get better and help so I can catch up with bills because they have fallen way behind and I have been hanging on to find money here and there to pay for them. Also in order to stay in the house that I am in all utilities must be on if not I will get a 30 day eviction notice which We already received one time and I begged for help to get them back on. I can not afford to get kicked out because me and my kids have no where else to go. I hope someone can see this and be a help because we are in need of it. We would be truly blessed to have some help.

19 year old Single Mother with a Goal

Hi I’ve come on here today searching the internet for days now trying to find help . even willing to do things I probably shouldn’t but I would and I will if I have to , to put a roof over my Daughters Head. She didn’t Ask to be here, yeah she was a surprise but I kept her knowing I would be alone …because I was in an abusive relationship. With a man who was not the father. That’s here nor there… I’m just looking for help to get a home for my Daughter and I . at 18 a family friend came to me seeking help with housing at the time I was pregnant still in school , working and living with my parents. She was older than me with 2 kids already and pregnant as well. I helped her by putting my name on an apartment for her and she promised me she wouldnt mess up we had an agreement when the lease was up of take over. I didn’t do it for her I did it for the kids because like my daughter they didn’t ask to be here and they didn’t deserve to live in the car with bad breaks. We literally slid through a red light. And I do work now I just started but I have an Eviction notice that isn’t even mine . and I owe $6000+ for her breaking the lease . she hasn’t told me for months until I started getting calls . she promised to pay it off ; she didn’t and now my credit is so bad I can’t even get a loan . I dont understand why or how she could do that , and what makes matters worse I found out I’m not the only one she’s done it to. I hate I didn’t think about my daughter. I wish I would’ve known. My daughter and I have been homeless we stayed in hotel for a while with a family that took us in even tho they didn’t know me helped get my cad out the impound too. And now they’ve become like a family now we helped each other for a while .they got I’m a home o gave them some.money so they could get it … I never got it paid back but its okay because the kids are happy now. I just wish I could have the same for my daughter and I . not to mention my Car just went out so I don’t have transportation to get to work and take my daughter to child care so o might lose my job before I even started. I was trying to sell him so I could get a new car so my daughter and is couldn’t have to sleep in my car again because he died and no one wants to come give us a jump . there’s a care if I had $1500 they’d let me make  payments its $3000 all together tho …

I did what I was supposed to do I went to my school I started at and graduated on time with my class. With my daughter and I’m in college now for childhood education. And I just got a job so why am I still the one suffering  please help me I don’t like asking for help because when I do its always thrown back in my face …

Teenage single mom in need

I’m 17 years old and have a six month old son. I am currently trying to take care of him and get my life where it needs to be so I can do that. His father left me after a long and toxic relationship and now hardly talks to me or asks about his son. He has seen him once in the past month and a half. He says he will not pay child support and blows through most of his money without asking if his son needs anything. I am working on getting my GED but I currently have no money to take the test. I also have no way to get to a job or the classes I need to go to when I get my GED because I dropped out of school and don’t have the money to take an adult driver’s education class. I don’t have anyone to help me because my parents have no money and never really have. They have had problems with addiction for as long as I can remember and have not had electricity for over a month because they did not pay the bill. I am staying with my grandparents temporarily but there is only so much they can help me with. I need to be able to get my life going so I can do what is best for my son. I plan on getting my CNA after I get my GED and find a way to get there and then eventually go to college to become a neonatal nurse practitioner. When I get to the point where I have any money to spare I will donate to others in need. Anything​ you can give will be appreciated more than you could ever know.

Help young mother please

Hello good people,
I am a single mum from Serbia. I am only twenty two and my girl is three years old. I am also facing other difficulties as my damaged hearing, I need to wear hearing aids. Also, I was born with no heel on my left leg so doctors reconstructed it on many surgeries I had.

The worst problem I have is the one in my head. I am being honest with you, though is not easy to talk about deepest problems and demons I carry in me. I am struggling with depression and lack of self esteem.

When I was in elementary school, other children bullied me and I lost most of my love towards myself. I was bigger at that time so they called me many names that still haunts me.

Also, I was affected a lot by my family and its patriarch structure. That means that I. as a women, was considered as less important and my opinions and wishes never mattered. I went through a lot of beatings and i listened a lot of negative words and insults that still hurts.

Because of that negativity i lived in and i still live in, i was making wrong decisions and i went through one bad relationship to another. I was lucky enough so my friend saved me from drugs and alcohol, but she couldn’t save me from that boy i believed was “the one”, the one that will help me to escape me from hell.

He abandoned our daughter and me and we are forced to live with my family because i can’t work any job that requires too much standing or any hard physical work. Doctors claim that if i push myself too hard, i could easily lose my leg and end up in the wheel-chair.

But i have my passion, my love for languages. Books were my escape from darkness around me so i speak English fluently, i am a student of Russian language and i learn Italian, Slovakian, Macedonian and Finnish. I wish to be a book translator as i much as i wish to be happy.

I am talking to you and begging you to help me to turn my life around, to give me that slight push in the back and to give my girl life she deserves. I don’t want her to go through things i had to, please help me with that
I need only a few thousands of Euros or Dollars, so i can pay psychotherapist, i need to pay my doctors bills and i need to train with special trainer, I need to pay my hearing aids, also i wish to move out and to start making an online course that will help people around the world to learn languages n a revolutionary, new way.

Thank you, really and honestly from the bottom of my heart for even the smallest donations.

Asking for DONATIONS. Anything will help

Hello All,

I am writing in regards to some assistance.

I am a 27 year old single mom of the South Bay Area. I have 2 small children 8 and 2yrs old. This past year has been a RIDE. Last April I lost my job I had 3 yrs prior to losing it. I lost my 2bdrm apartment in Campbell which was rent controlled $1200 monthly.

I had 2 cars, 1 I bought  with my 2015 tax money. And the other paid off from an inheritence i received in 2014. I HAD IT GOING. I WAS HAPPY. It was ALL taken from me. LITERALLY..

I started to notice a shortage in payroll after new management started with my Medical Occupation. Was becoming short on bills I had taken care of for the last 3 yrs. Raised questions to management,Payroll, and HR. No one listened, until I informed I was aware of Labor Laws in Ca. After bringing issues to payroll regarding concerns tur s out there were small variances in payroll. They promised to pay everything owed. Shortly after I was involved in a Domestic violence situation and requested time off to situate my family and myself. I was granted but 2 days. 1 month later I was terminated. I am now facing a lawsuit with the company for wrongful termination, unpaid wages, and retaliation. Hearing is June 27th. 2 months after losing my job I was employed 2 more places making more money than what I had made at my last employer for 3 yrs. I lost both those jobs. 1 because my new employer was  not able to verify my employment with the previous employer, and the 2nd one I lost after my “1st employers unemployment appeal”. That day of appeal judge asked if I was working I replied yes. He then asked how much was I making, I replied happily $19.00 hr. With my former boss present I refused to say where. Well coincidently 15 minutes after that hearing my new employer calls and leaves a voicemail to terminate me, its just not “working out”. Wow. 2 weeks later my new car I leased with my taxes gets repossed. 1 month later my landlord serves me with an eviction notice 3 days to pay or quit. Only 1 month behind are you kidding me. He did it so fast the next notice I receive is from the Sherriffs, vacate in 5 days. So I panic, I contact this business online CALIFORNIA EVICTIONS DEFENSE SPECIALIST. BAD IDEA. This place has its own website and “business bank account with chase”. They promised to file a “motion” with the judge regarding my eviction, and get me 4-6 weeks extension in my home. All I had to do was deposit $700.00 into there Chase business bank account. I did. 5 days after the sherrifs are at my place telling me I have 5 minutes to vacate. I hurry to try and call the business who helped me only to find out they are now “permanently closed” ;(I took a drive to Chase and begged for my money back. They refused because the business was a “Client of chase”.

From September 27th 2016 to March 10th 2017, I was homeless. Homeless with my 2 boys sleeping in my car. I have spent $5000 on Priceline, Hotels.com, and just about every hotel site you can think of. I struggled. Nights of crying , asking why me? What did I do to diserve this? I AM NOT A BAD PERSON. My 8 year old crying to me, “Mom why do we have to do this?”

The struggle and the worst is almost over. I have thankfully been accepted into this housing program with the city of san jose. I am truly blessed. The only thing is I have a few outstanding bills I need help with. I took a title loan out on the car I own due to the payroll issue with my job, so I have that hanging over my head. I have no money. Everyday it is a struggle going from church to church to get help with food and gas. I do doordash food delivery, uber and lyft. After my lawsuit is done and over with I would love to get back to what i went to school for. I need some help lifting this weight off of me. I am doing it, but I have wanted to fall sooo many times. My boys are the motive. If anyone reads this I would sincerely appreciate any help and word spreading you can do to help!

Thank you

Newly single mom of 2 needing help!

Hello, i am T. I am a newly single mom of two wonderful children, a little girl who is 4 and a little boy who is 2.

A bit about our situation… i have been married to their father for about 4 years and have struggled to make it work with him to provide a home and family for my children. Due to unresolvable issues we separated 3 weeks ago and i was forced to move in with my mother-in-law and her teenage son as i have no other options. While my ex got to keep the house we bought.

This is a severely unhealthy enviroment for my children as the house is disgusting  (i am cleaning as much as i can but 7 years of gross doesn’t go away without some professional help), her and her delinquent son fight all the time and are just horrible people who do not respect my rules when it comes to my children one of which had health problems.

The kids dad is doing every thing he can to make this harder on us including fighting child support and taking my car away and while i do work we simply cannot continue living like this!

Please help us to raise enough money to get my kids and myself out of this toxic situation! We are trying to move closer to my family who are a more positive influence but that live almost 18hrs away! I also need a reliable car to get to and from work and dr appointments!

I am doing everything i can to give my kids a good life but we just can’t seem to get ahead at the moment. We are struggling while their selfish father is doing drugs and blowing money on stupid crap instead of helping support his kids. Help me get them out of here please!

 

single mom in need

I’m a 27 year old single mom. I work at Mcdonald’s. I need help. I never thought it would resort to this. I made a few mistakes in my early 20’s and it’s come back to haunt me. I have accumulated about $30,000 of debt and have bad credit. I need to change my life around and start building a solid foundation for my daughter. The $9 an hr i make at my job isn’t cutting it. I can’t get ahead. I don’t even have a vehicle. It’s very hard to get back and forth to work and do all the things i need without a vehicle. My goal is to raise enough money to get a car and take care of some of my debt so i can build my credit and begin anew. I understand there probably are a lot of people out here doing this. I just hope i can catch a break. I realize that my actions from earlier years have put me in my position and I’ve learned my lesson at a high cost. I don’t want my child to suffer for my mistakes. I’ve never in my life had my hand out and it just goes to show a mother will do anything for her child. I’ve always been too embarrassed but i need to put my pride aside and seek help. Because i can’t do this on my own. I’ve tried. So if you decide to help me i will be eternally grateful. Thank you taking the time to read this. God bless you.

Single Mom Left With ALOT of Debt Thanks to Son’s Father

I met my sons father when I was 17 and we were together up until recently. I am now 22 years old and am in almost $25,000 in debt with credit cards and loans that i had to take out to fix my only car.

I live about an hour and half away from all of my family and i am way to embarrassed to go to them and let them know the hole that i let this monster leave us in.  I currently work 2 jobs and am still struggling to make sure all my bills are paid on time and that my son has food.

The main reason i am in so much debt is because we moved into a more expensive home, and he then proceeded to quit his job and look for something more “meaningful” for him. He found a job in sales and i supported him through it, i bought him the clothes he needed for the job and all the tools he would need. WELL this job brought us NO income whatsoever and i had to use credit cards to pay for bills and groceries and then to top it off our ONLY car broke down and needed a whole new engine.

That was the start of all my problems and my downfall. I basically let him take control of the money even though i was the breadwinner of the house. Fast forward $25,000 later and now he does not feel he should help me pay for any bills because its all under my name and he has decided to move to Colorado to start growing pot and claims once he gets his business going he will start sending me money for our son. I cant even put child support on him because he doesn’t work.

I am not asking for the full $25,000 but anything at this point would help. I just want to be able to work one job and go home to my son. He’s already lost one parent, he shouldn’t have to lose another. I was weak because i let him use me up and dump me once there was no more money. I am doing the best i can but i this point is just doesn’t seem like enough.

New Mom, New Baby, To Many Bills

My name is Kenzi, I recently gave birth to a beautiful baby boy, Zane. He is the most amazing gift I could have asked for.
After coming home and trying to make it work with his father I had to move out of his house due to him having anger issues, treating to hit me and constantly yelling. Along with not having his help taking care of our son, his father also had a drug problem and would constantly go out with his friends and leave me home to take care of the baby. With all of this happening I decided that was time for us to move out and that it was not the environment I wanted my son to grow up in. Thankfully my grandmother had a room for Zane and I to stay in, but now with being on maternity leave I have no more money and I can not return to work because I do not have car to get to work and I also do not have anyone to watch my son. His father does not have a job so he can not pay child support. With no one able to help with financial support I am drowning in bill and struggling to support my son. From medical bill for Zane and I from the hospital, post natal appointments, and new born doctors appointment, to buying for food, clothes and diapers for him. It is all so much and I love my son and only want to give him the best life possible. He is my world, I just want the best for him and for him to until I can do better for him. Your help would go toward buying diapers, wipes, and medical bills for him. He is my priority and will always come before me. After I take care of his needs first then I will pay off my medical bills and find some one to take care of him so that I can take care him the way he deserves to be. If you are able to help that would me greatly appreciated. I have no set amount that I need because every penny would help me provide for him and make him a better life, along with making sure he is properly cared for by me and who ever I am able to find to watch him so I can return to work to be able to properly provide for my son.
God Bless and Thank You.

Urgent help for Car

Hello my name is Zayvreia and I’m 18 years old. I am so glad I found you guys. My family are in desperate need of help. My mother is really sick because she has hyperthyroidism. This made her very weak, she will get very sick, lose weight, and many other scary side effects. She had a job and was working really hard but because of her condition she couldn’t work anymore. This caused our car got repossessed because she couldn’t pay her monthly payments. Every since they got our vehicle things have been very hard for us. We tried to ask family but everyone turned us down. What we are generously asking for is enough money for a decent car so we can get around and extra money for bills. We are asking for this because a car would change our lives. My mother can go get her medicines and go to the doctor for checkups. This can make her better overtime and then she will be able to work. I can also go back to school and graduate and also find a part time job myself. The money for the bills will also help because we can love comfortable until my mother can get better and we can find jobs. We also made a GoFundMe page but we haven’t got any help on that either. Link》 (gofundme.com/support-for-a-good-mother). We are only asking for 7,200 this will help us with a decent car and help for bills until we get back on our feet.

I will be happy to send you guys empty medicine bottles, eviction notices, late due bill papers, and repossession papers for the car. We truly and honestly need the help.
