Begging Money

Financial Hardship Help

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

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

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

Are there really grants for a single mother?

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

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

Low Income Assistance for Single Mothers / Government Grants

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

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

TANF – TEMPORARY ASSISTANCE FOR NEEDY FAMILIES

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

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

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

SNAP – SUPPLEMENTAL NUTRITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

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

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

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

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

NSLP – NATIONAL SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAM

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

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

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

TEFAP – THE EMERGENCY FOOD ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

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

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

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

Local Food Banks

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

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

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

WIC – WOMEN, INFANTS AND CHILDREN PROGRAM

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

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

EARLY HEAD START / HEAD START

These programs are for children up to 5 years old.

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

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

Insurance for unemployment

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

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

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

Section 8 housing

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

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

CCAP – CHILD CARE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

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

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

EITC – Earned Income Tax Credit

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

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

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

LIHEAP – LOW INCOME HOME ENERGY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

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

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

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

WAP – WEATHERIZATION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

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

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

To apply, find a local WAP center.

Medicaid

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

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

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

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

CHIP – CHILDREN HEALTH INSURANCE

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

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

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

Federal Pell Grants

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

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

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

Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant

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

Charities

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

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

Churches

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

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

Loans

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

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

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

Line of Credit

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

Personal Loans

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

Short term (payday) loans

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

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

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

Credit card cash advance

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

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

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

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

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

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

Single mom trying to get new start for my kids.

I have to be 100% honest with you here so here goes….hopefully something….I am a single mother of three kids, 12 year old boy, seven years old daughter,  and a five year old son. Plus a 16 year old bonus daughter from my ex husband that is no longer in any of our lives. He walked out on his 16 year old when she was five, but randomly reconnected with her through the years. Thankfully! Then after a very abusive five years, I finally left him and he has seen our children one time in three years. Well I unfortunately I hit a downward spiral and started drinking pretty hard and got a DUI.  Now I know you’re probably thinking….”I can’t believe this dumb woman would have the audacity to actually ask for a handout after divulging this information!!!!” Well…I have been 100% sober for almost 15 months! Christmas day will be 15 months exactly! It has been a struggle, most days aren’t to bad anymore though I do still get the cravings but I’ve never acted on them. So now finally after reaching my goals for the last year…stay sober, get my own apartment, my own car…etc. I finally landed my first full time job!!! But now is where I run into my problem…I don’t get my first check for 4 weeks. Now, I’m 200 dollars short for rent and just got a disconnect notice for my electric due to…dun,dun,dun…you may have guessed it my lovely ex husband. He put our old bill in my name, he told me it was in his, and he never paid the bill like he said!  So now on top of MY bill of $117…I owe $647!!  On top of all the other random odds and ends and food. I don’t receive any assistance from welfare or even child support since he doesn’t stay at the job once child support catches up to him.  I pick up extra shifts at my 2nd job when I can. So it’s not like I’m not trying!!!  I’ve sold a bunch of my old stuff, i dont know what else to do anymore! My parents can’t afford to help me as they are both disabled. My mom just got out of the hospital today actually. Also just got the confirmation that on January 4th my 16 year old daughter has to have brain surgery! I feel like I’m drowning and I feel like I want to give up! If anyone has it in their heart I am just looking for up to $3000.00 to cover all these bills and get my car back to decent running conditions, warmer winter clothes for my kids, to help with the surgery, and maybe just maybe get a head slightly…I would be forever grateful!!!! God Bless you all…oh and before I forget here is my PayPal link  https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/my/profile

Needing a Christmas Mirale

5 years ago I was diagnosed with a rare breathing condition known as Idiopathic Subglottic Stenosis.  Many of the Dr’s near me didn’t know what was wrong with me.  I went through several doctors telling me I had asthma and anxiety and would prescribe inhalers and meds.  None of which worked.  Finally I became my own advocate and sought help elsewhere.  Elsewhere led me to a Dr. that discovered what was wrong with me and I had surgery on my trachea.  Fast forward and I’ve 22 procedures on my trachea.  One of those was supposed to “cure” me.  It’s such a rare condition that Dr’s are just now in the research phase of this condition.

Just throwing this information out there:  If you have a female in your life who all of a sudden is having difficulty breathing while doing things such as walking up and down stairs, carrying heavy items, even taking a shower.  You need to get her to a Dr and don’t let them say it’s just asthma.  Many people would say I sounded like Darth Vader for a reference of what the condition sounds like!!!  This condition is primarily  found in women between the ages of 30 and 50.

Ok, so my dilemma.  That many surgeries has left my family(me, 17yr old son and 15 yr old daughter) in a financial pickle.  That and my wages were cut $600 a month in August.

My daughter has been asking for a $20 coat because it’s around 20 degrees everyday but I literally don’t have any extra money to spare so she gets by with her sweatshirt.  As a parent this makes me feel like such a failure.  My son wants some socks because a lot his have holes in them.  My medical bills currently are $1541.89, my jeep repair bill is $1471.13, and I really would like to get my kids some new clothes for Christmas.    If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it.  One day I hope to be able to pay it forward to someone in need.

Take care and best wishes to you and your family

Active Duty Single Mom

Hello,

 

I normally don’t put my personal business out there because I have always been the person everyone in my family depends on. I am an active duty single parent trying to get out of the financial debt I’ve been drowning in for years. I have 3 credit cards I’m trying to pay off, but with the amount of money I make and after all of my bills are paid, I can only pay off the interest on each card. I have cut back on the necessities and I was making progress until my car broke down on the side of the road. I had it for 10 years so I can’t be too upset. I recently had to buy a car to ensure I had transportation for my daughter and I. I don’t want to long-winded so I will keep it short. I need a financial blessing. I am a faithful thither and I don’t want to stop tithing because I believe God will bless me eventually and I don’t want to take from him. My debt was collected by me trying to raise my daughter and ensuring I had furniture for our home, especially a bed for her to sleep in. It also came from unexpected expenses and overdraft charges and paying for my MBA (the part my TA didn’t cover and books). I am currently $12,000 in debt. I know that is a lot to ask for, but I’m praying someone will be able to help me. I am doing the best I can, I just need to get out of this whole that I am in. I want to start fresh but I can’t with this debt over my head. I have cut back on so much for myself that I am wearing clothes from years ago and used items I can get at the thrift store. I don’t have parents whom I can depend on for money because they are always coming to me. If you can please just find it in your heart to assist me, I assure you I will do better.

Single teenage mom

I am a young teenager seeking financial help. I have a 1 and a half year old baby boy and I cant afford to provide for him. Its getting very cold outside and he needs things for winter, clothes, coat, shoes,food, etc. I also need things too but mainly him. I use to wok at Kmart in beech grove, Indiana but we went out of business and the store closed this April of 2018. after that I did look for a job but I didn’t get lucky. Me and my mom don’t have a very good relationship so I ended up moving out of her house July of 2018 due to us not getting along. While being there I became very depressed, I cried almost everyday, barely got any sleep, and barely ate.. I started to become very skinny because I had s much weight on my shoulders .. I had to wake up every morning and go to school (I HAD ALL HONORS CLASSES) then after going to school I had to go to work.. while doing all this I breastfed my child and pumped at work and school.. I barely had time for him because of school and work all week. I didn’t have a break. Luckily I passed all my classes except 1 because I stopped going to school at the end of the school year.. In July 2018 when I moved out of my moms house I moved in with my child father .. and oh did I think it was going to be peaches and cream? yes but it was the total opposite. Me and my child’s father argued and fought constantly. Neither 1 of us had jobs but we found a way to get our child diapers and baby wipes, he needed so much more and we tried to get jobs but we were just so unlucky I guess. It only got worse due to me cheating on him prior  to him cheating on me, we fell out of love and our relationship became toxic we fought every single day, even in front of our child. Eventually I had enough, I didn’t want my child to keep seeing his parents fight, that’s not right. so I moved in with my grandma. Now I’m all alone and my child is in need of a lot of things I don’t know what else to do but I know I have to do something as a mother, I also am in need I’ve been searching for a job but nothing yet.. please help?

Bring my Boys Home

Hello, I am in need of a little help getting back on my feet. I am 33 years old with 3 amazing boys ages 2, 13 and soon to be 16 in January. My 2 older boys are currently in another state with their father and I’m trying to bring them home. Three years ago I agreed to let my boys go live with their father which was the biggest mistake of my life. He disappeared with them for 2 years, I recently located them and I’m ready to bring them home however I don’t have a place of my own anymore and I know there is no excuse but when my boys left my soul left with them I completely lost myself. As of now I am slowly but surely getting back on track, I started school to earn my Associates Degree in Criminal Justice, and I work full time cleaning houses. I’m currently staying at my mother’s house and I cannot bring my boys here. My license is also suspended because ( I’m not blaming anyone I understand I am a grown woman and I could have prevented this had I made better choices ) my ex boyfriend while driving my vehicle racked up red light and toll road tickets didn’t tell me about them and we moved so I never got the letters in the mail again my own fault for not making a better choice and getting a change of address. With all that being said, if I could get help with the deposit, first and last month’s rent on a home to bring my boys to and the money to get my license and a vehicle I will be able to maintain a stable and happy life for all 3 of my children. I would forever be grateful to whomever would be willing to help me get a head start a new life I’ve dreamed of for 3 years a life with all my babies home with me their mother where they belong. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and I hope you will consider helping me bring my boys home.  https://paypal.me/tiff519

Single mom of three desperately needs help

Hello. I am a single mom of three I have a 17 year old son 9 year old daughter and 4 year old son. These past few years have been extremely rough I have lost my mother and my grandfather and my grandmother and my aunt who was like a second mother to me. Diamond 2014 two months after I had my youngest our house caught on fire. We had to live in a motel for like 2 months. I have never really recovered financially since then. On top of all that my fiance cheated on me and had a baby with a much younger female and I did not find out until the baby was 8 months old. We were still very much a couple and together. then to top it off I had a 24 year old girl run into my car and total it and of course she was uninsured. I only had liability because that’s all I could afford. It was going to be $7,000 to fix minimum. I had to chalk it up as a loss. I borrowed $2,000 to get a new car. I bought a 2002 Isuzu Rodeo. It supposedly had seventy seven thousand miles on it I’ve had it for a month and a half. It just broke down they said the heads are bad and it’s going to be a minimum of $1,500 to fix. They said it’s not worth it. Christmas is coming I’m behind on my rent my electric bill it’s $500 and it is past due they could come any second and turn it off. I do work. I have to pay for my youngest to go to daycare while I’m at work. Sometimes financially it seems like it’s not even worth it to work if I have to pay for daycare. I’m 40 I have worked since I was 17. I have never asked anybody for anything in my entire life. I can’t even believe I’m on here doing this but I don’t know what else to do. I’m not really concerned with Christmas I would love to you know be able to give my kids a Christmas but what I mainly concerned with is that we have a roof over our head and my electric is on. I don’t drink I don’t do drugs or smoke. I don’t get my nails done. My life revolves around my children. I’m from Arizona but I moved back to Florida to be with my fiance who is the father of all 3 of my children. I had went to Arizona to take care of my mother when she was dying of cancer. I honestly couldn’t make this up. My life has been such a struggle since 2012 and it seems like each year it gets harder and harder. I always try to help others when I can even if I don’t have it myself. I’m not a perfect person but I love my kids and I try to do right everyday. If you could find it in your heart to help me I would be forever grateful and if I’m ever in the position I would be more than happy to pay every single person back every single dime.

Single mom struggling

Im a mother who is trying to do everything she can to provide for her baby girl.. it seems as if we just cant catch a break or get up on our feet. A few months old my home caught on fire in the middle of the night. I woke up to smoke filling my bedroom at 6 am. I jumped up and ran out into the the other room, it is pitch black from all the smoke and loud as can be from the fire. My mind was racing and all i remember is grabbing my daughter from her bassinet and using memory to get to the front door which was almost impossible to open from all the pressure.. it wasnt till i got outside and fell to the groud to make sure my 2 1/2 month old was still alive, And thank god she was, that i noticed my skin was trying to peel off parts of me.. I stayed in the burn unit for what seemed like forever.. and then i finally got to leave with help from red cross, and it was so hard trying to do anything for myself, i couldnt even take care of my own baby. (Pictured: first time feeding my daughter after what felt like forever). I lost everything, My dogs, my cat, my home.. everything. But i got to keep my baby.. I work a job that barely pays my bills, i cant affored childcare, I pay my rent, buy my daughter her milk and food and everything she needs and thats all. No food for me, or anything extra. I try and sell very little of the stuff i have to get by on bills. But its so hard.  I just need a push. Something to help with the bills, and to have food in my home, and possibly get my daughter something for christmas that she will love. Not asking for anything huge, but something small could help so much.

Single mother and temporary full time student, needing brief help

Hello,

 

Thank you for taking the time to read my request and learn a little about me. My name is Judy. I am a single mother for two great children. Last year, 6 months after taking out a mortgage to purchase my first home, I lost my full time job, shortly after I tore my ACL and lost my 2nd job, the father of my children stopped paying child support and still has not paid in over a year. I used credit cards and any job I could find to get by. I began working all day and still did not bring home enough to pay all my bills. About 3 months ago, I was offered an opportunity to enter a coding school. I entered and for the first month I went to school full time and worked full time. The school program is an accelerated 7 month program and very intense. I had to quit my job in order to take full advantage of the opportunity with school. My bills are adding up and I’m finding odd jobs here and there to pay my mortgage. Christmas is almost here and my children will not have any presents under the tree. I have four more months of school and I need help paying my mortgage and utilities for the next 4 or 5 months. Someone please help in any way possible. Even a small gift for my 9 or 11 yr old son would be greatly appreciated! If you have ever been in this situation please have mercy and compassion. I don’t know what else to do so I am writing this request as my last hope and I pray God leads the right person to this post. God bless.

 

Thank you so much for your time,

Electric bill

I’ve been doing pretty good financially for the past few months. Everything has been paid on time and food is always on the table. Unfortunately, I fell slightly behind this month. Although I live check to check, I typically have the money I need to survive until the next check. But this month I’m behind by around $100 as a result of an unexpected family emergency over the Thanksgiving holiday week. I don’t have enough money to pay my rent which is due this week. I’m worried because I have 3 small children to care for and the last thing I want is for our rent to be late and I would like to avoid the $175 late fee which will put me in more of a bind. I don’t get paid until 12/15 and that’s a enough time for me to accrue a late fee which is added on the 5th day of the month. I have exhausted all of my attempts to get funding as the local charities and other resources I’ve tried are not able to help and friends and family don’t have enough money to lend me so that I can avoid the late fee. I know this sounds like the typical single mom pitch, but my story is truly genuine because I just learned that a site like this existed. In other words, I’ve never needed to ask for money from total strangers but I have exhausted all of my funds for the next two weeks. I’m a clinic assistant for an elementary school and I only get paid $20k a year. I love what I do but the job doesn’t provide much financial coverage, therefore I do the best that I can from check to check.  When unexpected expenses arise, I’m often left in a pinch because my budget is tight enough as it is.

Working mom of 2

https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/my/profile

Hello

my name is richell. I am asking for money for paying traffic tickets. and paying off some of my student loan debt. It’s a lot of other things I could pay off as well. But I figure if I ask for help to get back on track then I can take it from there. Being young with no direction from anyone on how to keep your credit good I have wrecked it tremendously. I am now a mother of two kids and even though I am working it still is very hard to commit to payment arrangements to pay for traffic tickets. I am single so there’s no significant other in the picture at all. I am working 35 hours a week making $12 an hour. So far that has helped keep me and my children off the streets and lights and gas on at home. If I had my license I could easily find a better paying job. But I can’t afford to pay old tickets on what I am currently making at work and provide for my children effectively. I came across this site because I am at my ropes end. I need financial help . I am not a irresponsible person or trying to scam anyone. I genuinely need help to get out of debt. I pay my taxes every year and the it’s takes them to pay debts owed. I am currently on payment plans with my student loans. I am asking for any amount of help . I have uploaded some pics of my credit report . If I can clear some of my debt I can move my children out of this roach infested cheap apartment. What I am most concerned about is making a better life for my children. That is all.

Need help with Christmas for my kids

Hi, my name is Tiffany and I’m in a difficult situation. I am a nurse and work long hours. Within the past year I left a very toxic relationship with my children’s father and moved out my own. My children are my world and I try to do everything I can for them. It hasn’t been easy being on my own, I cant imagine it would be for anyone. I only have the essentials in my home such as rent, electric, propane, phone, and car insurance. No cable, internet, or anything extra that would cost me more. Although I feel bad for not having some of those things for the kids I was at least able to get a tv and DVD player so they can watch movies. Here’s the main problem. I work 12 hr shifts so the days I work the kids are with their father and when I’m off I have them. I often stay late if I’m needed or pick up shifts when possible to try and have a few extra dollars instead of breaking even or not even having enough to cover all the Bill’s. I’ve done and continue to do what I can to keep everything as cheap as possible. Christmas is in 3 weeks and I have no way of being able to buy any gifts not even one. I have asked family and friends for help but they can only help so much and everything is greatly appreciated! I’m an independent person normally and dont like asking for help but right now it’s my only option as I’ve tried applying for loans but my credit is horrible. Please if you can help with even $5 I will forever be grateful, and once I get on my feet and have extra funds I promise I will pay it forward and help others in need.

Single Mom ordered to pay Court Costs

I am a single hardworking Mom.  I was taken back to court by my daughter’s father because he didn’t want to pay child support.  I initially tried to handle this on my own because I didn’t have the funds to pay for a lawyer.  After a couple of months I was so overwhelmed I had no choice but to borrow funds and hire a lawyer.  Once I did that my Ex buried me in paperwork and motions to avoid paying support.  This process started in March of 2017 and by March 2018 we were still no further ahead. His intention to bury me financially was working.  By June I had to self represent because I could no longer afford to pay for a lawyer.  My lawyer’s bill was up to $,9000.  But to make matters worse, he forced us to trial.  I had to try to represent myself and thought I was doing okay until the Judge ordered me to pay him court costs in the amount of $35,000.  It was a completely unfair judgement, but because I didn’t have a lawyer I was ignored.  His lawyer wouldn’t even listen to my pleads for leniency.  I have been ordered to pay forthwith.  I have been making payments to pay my lawyer fees and not only don’t have the funds to pay the court costs but now I only have 60 days.  At that point I am so afraid as to what can happen.  I have no one that I can borrow the money from or anyone I can ask for help.  I am embarrassed to have to ask for help, and to post this request, but I have no other alternative as I don’t have enough income to qualify for any kind of institutional loan.  I am trying to get a second job and desperate and would so appreciate any help that any kind and generous souls would offer to keep my daughter and myself from being homeless.  I am trying to keep my daughters name out of the records, but could show a copy of the court order to those who need me to prove this is a real dilemma that I am trying to deal with.

17 year old Single mother

On September 28th my whole perspective on life’s changed. I never thought I could love another human as much as I fell in love with my baby girl. When I first learned that I was pregnant I was in a very bad place in life. The begging of 2018 I learned my mother, who was my best friend, was a heroine addict. My mother has had a drug problem my whole life and had always had my brothers and I hopping from family member to family members homes. Which our family members were just as bad maybe worse on drugs then her. My father was no better either, he’s been in and out of prison/ jail my whole life and when he was out and around whenever I had something valuable he would steal it and sell it for drugs. Every time my mother gotten out of a rehab and was doing good for awhile we would create a bond so strong that even all of the ways that she couldn’t physically but mentally hurt me I would still call her my best friend to this day. With heroine being a common drug my family would use and watching what my family went through using heroine with my mother I never thought she would become a user. Finding out that she had I really started to act out. It was the beginning of my 10th grade year and i went from being an all day student with perfect attendance to never showing up to school and hanging out with the wrong crowd. I started the use of marijuana to numb my feelings and forget about my mom for awhile and it started to get so bad that I was angry and upset when I wasn’t high. My mom ended up leaving me and my brother at my grandparents home without any notice and that broke my heart to where I started an argument with my grandma and left and lived with my cousin and her mom. My cousin, her mom and I tried different kinds of drugs together and to be honest that’s all I wanted to do, I believe I was starting off the way My mother did. I cried a lot and was always depressed but it didn’t stop me from going out and “having fun”. Because my cousin and her mom were full of drama I ended up leaving there home and moving her n with my aunt and other grandma. While I was there I started to get better with going to school again but I was still smoking marijuana. I then found out I was pregnant and a couple weeks later I found the courage to let my aunt know. She wasn’t mad at me just disappointed. I then went to tell the father of my daughter that I was pregnant and later that night I went home to my aunts and when getting ready to lay down my grandmother came downstairs and started to choke me telling that I was stupid and the father was going to leave me and not help. I was really worked up about it and my aunt told her not to put her hands on me again but that was it. A few weeks later I was using the bathroom talking to my mom in the phone because me and her started to talk again and I hear my grandmother running up the stairs screaming “you dumb bitches around here always talking shit on the phones” she came in the bathroom started to smack me in the face, pulled me up off of the toilet and pushed me in the tub, I went to get up out of the tub and before I could push her and get around her she was punched me in the head a couple more times, I ran downstairs crying and packing my things, screaming I was going to call the cops on her and that I was leaving and not coming back. In the middle of it all my baby’s father came in and grabbed me and put me in his car and left. I had no shoes and a little bag of my clothes. My mom ended up calling the cops on her but nothing went from them just taking a statement. My mom was not including state at this point so I was basically trying to survive on my own. With no family that I felt comfortable with I ended back up at my cousins house. At my cousins house my baby’s father started to stay with me and ended up losing his job, one night he sold his speakers to make sure we had some food because my cousins mom was not helping me out. My cousins moms sister ended up stealing the money he had and his car. With her continuously doing this in the past to my mother and my cousin we knew exactly where she was at, my cousin took My baby’s father to the crack house and and he found his car. She had already spent all of the money. Coming to find out my cousin, her mom, and her moms sister planned to this to him the night before me and him left and lived in his car for a week before my school got involved. They wanted to talk to my mom Because they didn’t know of any residence I wasn’t staying at, I tried to leave the school that day without telling giving them an address because my mom didn’t know where to tell them and the school security pulled me and my baby’s father over before we could leave off of school grounds, he called my mother and she told him that I was allowed to Ben with baby’s father or go to my aunts, one of my moms sisters. The security officer them called his supervisor and mentioned that he had heard My mom was a user and even tho she didn’t sound high at the moment she could have been shooting up after and He preferred I went to my aunts house instead of leaving with my baby’s father. While going through all of this while being pregnant was really hard. I believe that being pregnant saved my life in many ways. I’m currently still living with my aunts and not attending school, but I’ve learned from my mistakes and to this day I’m choosing to make better decisions for the sake of my daughter. My aunt now had custody of me and I feel like I’m finally in a safe home, but I am in a situation where I have to take care of myself still. My baby’s father makes sure my daughter has diapers and wipes  and i was given a bunch of clothes for her, but she is growing fast, some money for her some new clothes would be amazing and I am turning 18 soon so I will be getting government housing so my daughter can Rome around when she’s ready, money to make our home our own would be very appreciated, thank you for any help and reading My story.

I’m in a financial burden.

Hello, my name is Marques.  I’m requesting money to get my self back on track.  I’m working but it has slowed down.  The bill I’m most worried about is the vehicle my wife has.  It’s a good vehicle but she is not working and she is dependent on me to pay for it.  And I have been but my work has slowed down.  So now I’m just able to buy my food and pay for my room and board. Which hurts because I want to help her.  So really the money is for her.  Her monthly bill is $800 for the vehicle payment and $150 for her insurance.  I’m doing this strictly on faith that I will get help.  I want to help her for the next three months. So that adds up to about $3000.    I am hoping within that three months I’m working solid again and hopefully she has found herself work again.  She is a good person. She graduated with a college degree in political science.  She has been a teacher for kindergarten for the past 3 years  but is having trouble passing her exam to be qualified as a certified teacher.  They let her go this beginning of school year because of this.  It really put her in a bind.  She is a good teacher.  She just can’t do it until she passes her certification exam.  We have a 12 year old daughter and I care for her dearly as does my wife.  We are separated and have been for 3 years that’s why I’m not there.  We had differences that couldn’t be resolved.  Yet we always helped each other and are civil for the sake of our child.  So that’s it.  That is why I’m asking for this.  It’s all in faith that someone with the means will help me.  Thank you.  https://paypal.me/thankstoheaven

Single mom in need

on June 22nd I found out that I was pregnant. I was 19 and I felt helpless but I was so grateful for my child. I was working at a prison and my life was good. My boyfriend convinced me to move in with him which was three hours from my home and ten hours from my family. I did move up there but there was nothing around us, so it was hard for me to find a job. I finally did find a job but I had not started yet. In November my boyfriend asked me to go out to the bar with him and his friends so I did. Obviously I was pregnant so I just drove them. When we left I looked over and saw my boyfriend was receiving nudes from other females. When we got home I took his phone and got bad news for me and his child. He was cheating me when 20 plus girls since August. He said he felt trapped only because I was pregnant and that the girls never had to worry because I never went through his phone and so on. It honestly broke my heart. I instantly called my dad and he drove ten hours just to pick me up and I moved back to my hometown. As if I didn’t already feel helpless and hopeless. I am still looking for a job here but my baby is due in March of 2019 and I have nothing. I have nothing for myself or her. I want to give her the best life but I feel like. I can’t right now. I am asking for help although I hate asking for help. I would be so appreciate if anyone would be willing to help at all.

Help with a Christmas Miracle

Thank you in advance in taking precious time out of your day to ready my story. Today I come to you reaching out for help. I searched for a place that would help me but then struggled with the decision to go through with it. I put my own pride aside because I want to help my mom. Although, I have debt myself I am looking for assistance in trying to give her back what she has helped me over these last few hard months.

I take you back to the end of August; my son who is now 18 was duped into a scam where someone deposited $7000 into his bank account. They withdrew the money as soon as it cleared the next day in multiple repetitive transactions. I found out about this incident when I went to check my banking balance and to my surprise both my checking and savings as well as my daughters checking, and savings accounts had been frozen; zero’s everywhere. Because my son was not 18 when he originally opened his bank account my name had to go his account. Since that linked me to the fraud as well, they froze all accounts that I had any connection to.

The bank came back to me and told me that they thought my son was involved and that my only resource was to go to the police. They were going to continue to hold the $4,172.68 that was the combined amount of all the accounts. They told me if I could not pay the full $7000.00 back immediately that they would take the $4,172.68 and apply it to the balance owed.

In a panic I called my mom and of course she was willing to pitch in how she could. It wasn’t possible for her to pay the $7000 back to the bank but she was able to loan me some money so that I was able to buy groceries and still pay a few bills. Please see the money orders attached. This was money that she was saving up to take care of some dental work that needed to be done. So now she has put that off to help me.

Going back to filing a police report; I walked into the Bowie City Police department and sat down with a detective, I provided him with the returned check as well as the transactions of withdrawal. I explained to him what happened and then he wanted to question my son. Once it was my turn to speak with him he told me he would be looking into this matter further and following up with me.

A month later I was receiving a bill from the bank. The accounts were now all closed and they wanted the balances owed on the accounts. My sons account accrued some fees and some how a transaction was allowed to process in my personal account. The bills I received were for $53 and $3,357.03. Please see the letter attached.

I reached out to the detective as I had not heard anything. He proceeds to tell me that my case has been put aside because he was dealing with a shooting and my case was not priority. I felt that his answer was unacceptable, so I proceeded to contact his supervisor. Unfortunately, his supervisor called me back and stated that I had contacted the wrong jurisdiction and that he didn’t know why the detective had told me what he had and that I needed to go back to my bank. He spoke to me as if I was the criminal.

Fast forward a day later, I filed a formal complaint with the Chief whom directed me to a Lieutenant. The Lieutenant has seemed to be more helpful, but he has placed the case back in the detectives hand and we are in a holding pattern.

I know it is the holidays and things are tight for most people. I am hoping that somewhere out there is a Christmas miracle and you who are reading this can help that miracle come true. Please help me reach my goal of paying my mom and the bank back; a total of $6,410.03. Any amount of help would ease the burden that I am carrying daily.

Single Mom Needs Help for Holidays

I am in need of a financial gift. It all started when I got divorced after my ex was cheating in me for half our marriage. I had to start rebuilding my life and my credit because he decided we weren’t going to pay on my student loans. This caused me to go into default on my loans, but once I figured and moved out I was able to get in some repayment plan to help with this. So now I’m almost out of default, but there are still plenty of other bills to pay. Working in education is rewarding, but it doesn’t always pay the bills. I’ve had at least 2 jobs since I’ve moved out to help pay for living expenses. I have had some medical issues including diagnosed depression this past year, and my son was treated for plagiocephaly this past year as well. I was doing alright until I had to stay making payments towards my medical bills. So on top of other bills and other commitments, I have found myself in a hole that I can’t seem to get out of. I have had to take out several personal loans to help cover some expenses and other emergencies like when my car broke down and when a friend of mine passed away; which are only causing me to go deeper into debt because I can’t make those payments. I’m asking for $5,000 so that I can close all the personal loans that I have taken out and get my feet back on the ground. This money will get rid of the high interest title and personal loans I’ve had to take out in order to stay afloat. I just want to be able to live and provide for my two young boys. I receive child support from my ex, but it’s not enough to cover their expenses for childcare and food. I feel like a failure to my boys, and I want to be the upright example of how to preserver when things get tough. Their father is no moral example for them, so it’s up to me to raise my boys right. Every week I get them I have to re teach them how to behave properly in various situations. Please, if you can help me get my head above water I’ll be able to provide for my boys properly. Thank you for your time, and God bless!

I have no where to turn and I’m losing everything

This is the hardest thing I have ever had to do, and that’s ask for help. I have no family and no one to turn to for help. I am losing everything. I lost my home, my job, my car, my self worth and I don’t know what to do. I am drowning in debt and have no way to reestablish myself because I cant get a loan to get another car because of debt. I can’t get a good job because I have no car. I look for online jobs daily. To no avail. It started in 2016 when I got really sick. My doctor kept saying I was fine and blood work was good. But I ended up in and out of the hospital with bladder infections that turned into kidney infections, pneumonia,  and then it went septic and I had three abscesses on my right kidney. I went to three different hospitals staying for weeks at a time with 2 of them till I finally went to Barnes Jewish Hospital that is a teaching hospital where they looked through every Avenue and gave me the medical care and attention I needed. I was sent home after 32 days in the hospital all together with a pick line to administer antibiotics everyday for 5 more weeks. Well I lost my job, my boyfriend at the time, whom I lived with split my eye open after I came home. Went to the Erie to have ot stitched and they wouldn’t help me and sent me home with him. I ended up leaving in an ambulance 3 hours later to which he told them to take me to the other hospital in town so he didn’t get in trouble. I was out for 3 days when I came to they observed me for one more day and sent me home. I went and stayed with a friend for a few days until I finally had to leave town. A friend offered me an apartment for low rent and I managed to stay there for 6 months before I left because I couldn’t find a job. Went and stayed with a friend that kicked me out. I put all my belongs except my bed and fee things in a storage unit. But I cant keep staying where I am for much longer.  I need help with my debt and to get myself stable for my 2 daughters which are 19 and 8 and my granddaughter who is 6 months.  My oldest and her daughter are staying with friends but couch hopping with a baby is no way to live. I have never been in this situation. I am always the one to help others. I still put together a Collection for people to donate for this Childrens home and orphanage. The whole time wondering how I am going to make it. Please help me and my children get back together. I miss them so much and I need them. They need me too and I cant drive to get my granddaughter so my daughter can work.  I honestly don’t know where I will be of I cant get help. I am begging for help please. I will never stop paying it forward and helping others as I love to do already.  I help the homeless and this year won an art contest that gave me $500 to donate to any charity,  I gave it to my 8 year old who without a second thought said “i want to give it to the children who dont have mommy’s  or daddy’s!” My heart rejoiced and tears of joy I gave thanks to God for giving me such wonderful soul. So i share this to ensure you that you will not only be helping my family but others as well. I will do all I can to pay this forward and more. Thank you for reading my summed up version of a long story.

My Final tuition payment to see my future

  • Hi, My name is Chrissie and I need your help. Last October 2017, I enrolled in to 1500 hour Cosmetology program for hair, nails,and esthetics. It is my passion. I am a single mom and I have been paying my tuition out of pocket to avoid additional student loans. My transmission went out on my at the end of last month and I was faced with choosing to pay off my tuition or repair my car. I have a 5 year old and we don’t live on a bus line, so not having a vehicle to get to and from school and to appointments and such was not an option. I graduated October 21, 2018, but I graduated with a balance of $2,627.37. Which put my temporary practicing license on hold. I have since been offered w job with the corporate salon of my dreams but I can’t begin to for the position until I pay off my balance and get my license. I have been paying on the balance and I have gotten it down to $1,146, but I don’t have enough to clear it and cover my rent and utilities and if I fail to pay this balance off, I will lose this job. I don’t have any family where I live… it’s just me, my 65 yr old mother(she doesn’t have that type of money, and my 5 yr old son. Any little bit will help. I am so close to the second part of my goal. I didn’t come this far to lose. Please help me if you can. I took a photo of the bill from school and tried to upload it but it says the file is to big

Divorce and TPR help?

https://paypal.me/sunnysenny

 

Hello everyone! I need minimum 3,000$ to initiate divorce proceedings and terminate my husbands parental rights to our 6 month old son.

I am a 24 year old law school student who in addition of studying full time and raising my son I also work 35 hours per week. I make enough money to pay bills and to make sure my son is well taken care of. The issue is I need the $3,000 to pay the lawyer as a retainer. I cannot seek pro bono help due to the fact that I’m requesting to terminate my husband’s parental rights and I need to prove that I am self suffient enough to where this whole mess would end up being in the best interest for my son.

 

So I met my husband in 2015, it took a while for me to learn that he had kids from previous relationships. When I found out I wasn’t too concerned because I was in love and he was a sweet man. We set up our life together and he encouraged me to go to law school. I ended up moving two hours away in August of 2017 to attend law school. That same month we got married to solidify our relationship and to put him on my health insurance. Everything was great and I was happy.

I learned November of 2017 I found out that I was 8 weeks pregnant, accidentally as I was on bcp. My husband did NOT take that well. In essence he told me that I had to either abort my son or he wanted nothing to do with us and demanded that I terminate his parental rights as soon as possible.

So I went through with the pregnancy because it’s not my son’s fault and I knew I could take care of him. My husband ended up moving back in with his Ex and their two kids. I’m not allowed to know where he lives and he has never helped, held, or did anything with our son even though he’s had ample opportunity to do so

I am alone in this and I’m okay with that. I just need help coming with the cash up front so I can cut all ties with him. I need my husband’s cooperation to have this go as smoothly as possible. I’m afraid that if I take the time needed for me to save up the money on my own it’ll cause him to retaliate.

I promise to pay it forward. Thank you!

Please help

Hi, I am a single divorced mum with 3 fairly young children. We are in desperate need of funds (around £2,000 in total) just to make our bills at the beginning of December. Over half of that amount would be to pay the missed bills from the last 2 months due to unfortunate circumstances.

Since finding the courage to leave my abusive ex husband he has refused to help pay for the accumulated debts from our marriage and also refuses to pay maintenance for the children. I have gone down the legal route to try and get this sorted but the debts are all in my name (as my credit score was much better than his) and He calls social services trying to get the children taken off me every time I try and sort out child maintenance.

As such I have been working hard at various jobs over the last 3 years keeping our money on a very tight hold and paying back my debts. But 2 months ago I was forced to quit my job mainly due to the company exploiting my severe depression. Something I am seeking retribution for as it was an unfair dismissal, but it meant I went 6 weeks with no income before some benefits were started.

I can’t seem to catch up those 6 weeks. As soon as a little money goes in my account I find myself quickly paying the longest outstanding missed bill and the debt repayments are being missed. Due to trying to find childcare etc I am struggling to find another job quickly. I have an interview next week and I am hoping against hope I’m good enough for them.

But please please, can you help us get out of this black whole we have found ourselves in? Just so we can know our bills are up to date for Christmas? I am so low over this and I don’t know where else to turn. Please someone out there help us. Thank you

Single mom physically sick from stress

I’m not sure how to begin here as I’ve never done this so here goes. I lost my job about two months ago it paid decent and I lived comfortably enough but was suddenly let go due to company budget costs which put me in the worst position I have been put in, in a long time. I am a single mother 37 to two boys who are 15 and 9. I just moved in to a new place days before I lost my job. I do not have much family I only have my mother and she can’t afford to help me. I receive unemployment but it’s very low in my state and after paying groceries and a few small bills a month it’s gone. I cannot pay my part of rent(two months) I am behind on my car payments my phone bill, car insurance, power bill,car taxes this month and I most likely won’t be able to buy Christmas for my kids this year. I have had 5 job interviews and in the process with one company that requires a four interview process and I am still on the first. I am very intelligent and it’s hard to not feel like a loser everyday that rolls around because I know what I am capable of but life wants to throw me a curveball for fun. I have never asked for help and never like this I don’t have pics to upload for my bills but if someone wants to see them I can gladly show. Not sure how this works. I struggle to get out of bed everyday but I still do and knock down the negative but some days I fail to do so. I’ve raised my boys alone for most all their lives I am mentally so tired and hanging on everyday, some days I really don’t know how I do it.  If anyone here can help me I would be grateful for a lifetime and even pay back gladly. If it was just myself I wouldn’t worry. I only worry for my boys. Thank you for reading this the amount I need is $2500 to be caught up. I feel embarrassed even posting this but I’m at the end of my rope.

to avoid eviction (I usually dont need to ask for help)

Hello. I am in such a desperate financial bind that I have resorted to asking for some help via the internet. I am a 42 year old single mom of a bright, beautiful 12 year old girl. We currently live in S Philadelphia where I am renting a 1 BR apartment at which my rent is monthly $700. I currently am disabled and unable to work and rely on my SSDI of $825.00 monthly. I do sit dogs here and there for the extra money it takes to pay my utility bills but I have gotten very behind in my rent and I would need at least $500-700 dollars to catch up with my landlord. I have had high anxiety for a few weeks now because I have gotten so far behind. My daughter comes first so I need to maintain a roof over our heads. I am disabled, but I have had to go get a part time job that I am yet to start. Hopefully I can catch up with a little help from whoever is on the other end of this message. Please find it in your heart to send whatever you can. I imagine you get SO many requests……But just know that I am far from lazy, or undetermined. On the contrary, I am willing to do whatever it takes to catch up. Life just sometimes throws curve balls. Sometimes we can hit the ball, sometimes the ball gets away from us. (I would be grateful for a bigger bat to hit the ball!) Please don’t read on to another request without considering that your help to me and my daughter will allow me that little leg up that I so desperately am looking for.

Thankful for any help,

Amy Slutter

Struggling Mother

I’m a single Mother raising my 4 wonderful 4 year old son. I was recently given full custody of him which I am so ecstatic about. We have been on our own for just over a year now and it’s been a struggle and I am barely making it. I work 40+ hours a week and I’m also a college student. We live with family since I cannot afford a place of our own right now. I should have had child support by now but unfortunately the system doesn’t work fast enough. I am constantly having to move stuff around to be able to pay this bill and that bill. For daycare alone I pay $440 a month, I have a $380 car payment, $100 car insurance, $170 phone bill, I give what I can to my family for being able to stay here, any expense that supports my son such as clothes, his food, doctors appointment copays, medication for both of us, I pay on my student loans because I want to do my best to maintain decent credit. I also pay $55 in medication a month. It is the time of year where I’m torn between letting a bill go late so I can give my son a decent Christmas. I’m not the type to ask for help I usually just try to find a way out on my own but this time I’m stuck and everyone can use a little help every once in a while. I’m a good hearted person and I don’t have much to give but I was raised to help others when I can and I always try to help by donating to those in need at the homeless shelter or buying food for the homeless whenever I see them. I appreciate anyone who is willing to help. I wish everyone Happy Holidays

Not A BandAid Solution

 

 

Hello, my name is Amanda. I don’t know the legitimacy of this site, but maybe I’ll at least feel better about things once I get this out…I don’t like to think of bandaid solutions to anything. So before I detail my intentions, I’d like to tell you my own story, extremely summed up. Now I’m hoping that this isn’t a site where more fortunate people get a kick out of others bad luck and awful life events… that would be sad.
So… I have been a single mother, legally, for nearly 3 years. My children both have the same father, and both were born in wedlock. I married their dad when I was 19. I’d been raised by alcoholics who beat me and molested me, then beat me more for being so easy to beat on I suppose. So, I really didn’t know what love was supposed to look like in a marriage. My children’s father was my first in every manner you can think of. All the right words… until I said I do. Then it was, altogether, 12 years of abuse, both mental and physical. Lying to doctors about the broken bones. But do not pity me, I fell hard, but I learned and got back up stronger. Finally, his last arrest stuck. He went to prison for sodomizing a 19 year old girl in public, and it was caught on the stores camera quite vividly. The girl fought back and won, I’m proud to say. I was finally able to get away, and file for the divorce with him gone. I finally realized that was not love. When my daughter found out her dad wasn’t coming back, she found the courage to tell my sister and I what her dad had done to her. The things she told me, no 6 year old in the world should know about!!!! He’s lucky he was already locked up… but it landed him more time once we went to court with that. My son is a special needs child. He’s very smart, but emotionally he is stuck at approximately a 5 year olds level. Sometimes he can control it, other times he can not. After a certain point, sometimes he must be hospitalized for days-weeks, as he becomes violent toward us and himself. He even tries to choke himself out if he gets too upset, after hearing voices that aren’t there. My sons needs have cost me 3 jobs in the last 5 years, not that I can blame any employer. I had to call in or leave work frequently, to come home to help him or meet the babysitter, school counselor or police at the hospital. That is a part of my story, I honestly wish I could write other things as well, but I do not want to waste anyone’s time.
So all of that has brought me to where I am at in my current situation, and my mind has been habitually turning its wheels to come up with a solution to my financial blunders. No child support from their father of course, and losing job after job. I do not want to file SSI on my son and attempt to live solely on that, or rely on the government for anything. No, I want to be able to provide for my family on my own, and for my kids to be comfortable. I want to be able to give them a good start in their own lives when they go out on their own.
So- my solution is to start my own business. My divorce shot my credit… and losing my job meant my car got repossessed. So Loan’s are out of the question. I have not heard back on any of the grants I have applied for, and I’ve been doing that for years. The amount I would need is roughly 60,000. I really want to open my own word working shop. Mostly building critter hutches and bird aviaries, but other things as well such as insulated, safe, roomy and affordable outdoor dog houses. The possibilities are nearly limitless. But I’m flat broke. I have next to nothing, and nothing to my name. With the right money, I could buy a small house with a shed, and work out of my own home, in my own time. And with living in the country where I am, I’d be in booming business very quickly. I have everything thought out and planned, just no way to do it as a single mom with no resources. I take government assistance for my kids’ medical, and even that feels awful. It should be me paying for that. For once I’d love to be able to get them clothes that fit and are warm for the winter. We get stuff donated, but it usually doesn’t fit or it’s completely the wrong season.
I’d love to be able to be the one who provides for my kids. And I’ve done ok til recently.  My son requires more attention now, and I do not see the way out of the bind I’m in. Owning my own business would solve so many problems… probably all of them. I just need someone to have faith that I can do it, and give me a jumpstart. Someone to hear me, and say that they can help. I hope you’re out there and I hope you can believe that I can do this… I certainly do.
Thank You Sincerely,
Amanda C.

NEED HELP TO GET MY LIFE BACK

 

Hello to everyone that stopped to read my post. 

First thank you! 

My name is Amanda and I am a single mom to a beautiful son named Xander, he is turning 4 end of January. 

I have never done anything like this before especially to total strangers. I am using my faith and optimism that something will work out for me FINALLY! Lol

I am huge in having good mojo and always willing to help another , even when I don’t have much to give myself. I don’t expect good karma back when I help others but won’t lie and say I don’t think about it. 

 

Here is a a quick run down. I haven’t had the easiest life with having my father pass away young, my mom choosing work or men over her kids. 

I never fit inside the box my family expected from me so that has always isolated our relationships. 

I have picked horrible men that have physically and mentally abused me and spent many years learning the lessons of life the hard way. 

On top of it all I am still here and full of love and compassion for others. I never went down the addict road in drugs or alcohol. Yes I dabbled but was always able to pull myself out. 

 

So let’s jump to recent. I broke up with my sons father almost 3 years ago. He walked out and left his son and myself with a apartment being evicted due to non payment of rent. 

 

I got myself self my own small apt on social assistance. Things were going smooth and I was working part time. THEN he stopped paying child support and I was laid off. 

I lost that apartment and ended up putting things in storage and basically couch hopping and living out of my car with my lil boy for 7 months. 

November of last year I lost close to $600 a month of government money called Child Tax Credit which every parent gets when they are single and low income. Well right before Xmas it was cancelled with no notice to find out my ex continued to file his taxes as common law which of course didn’t match up to my single status. 

The government totalled up the amount of payments for 2 years and said I owe them as they feel I was still with my sons father . 

I could challenge it by proving that I was actually single the whole time as they gave me a huge list of documents to provide. 

I have done that and more since then and they still find ways to tell me I need more proof. It has almost been a year without that money. 

I found a job north Alberta and finally got us a home. The job was supposed to start February 2018 and I was ready to get things back together again. 

Moved my stuff out of storage to find out that the person I was paying to store it (well my mom was paying) they helped themselves to most of my things. 

Still to this day I am using plastic utensils and plastic plates I keep rewashing. 

Most of my clothes that were stored have small mouse holes chewed in them. Along with my sheets and towels. 

But I make due cause well I can’t afford anything else. 

When I have money it all goes to my boy and his needs over mine.  

So February is here and I find out the company that was supposed to open is on hold because they have problems with permits and contracts. 

Now I am a year later still waiting for the business to officially open. 

I am stuck in a town of maybe 3000 people, no transit and tons of snow because it’s right up on the top of mountain range. 

 Other work here is hard to find and most are split shift. 

Unable to use my car as the tires are past bald and having no way to pay enough down for someone to watch my boy. 

I am in a huge jam! 

I don’t have family to ask for help. 

I don’t have friends here as I learned over the few months that most of the people have drug problems. I will not allow my son around any of that, period! 

His father doesn’t pay regularly per month and my mom has literally been my financial saviour. 

Government just barley pays my rent and the food bank runs on empty here. 

I am now feeling lost and almost defeated. 

I have found work back in the city I lived in Calgary, Alberta. 

The dayhome that used to watch my son is willing to work with me and is eager to have him again. 

Friends have found me a place to stay until I get my feet back under me…: such positive things. 

I AM STUCK :( 

The travel is 8 hrs and my tires are just too dangerous to make that trip. 

Any money I do have just buys us food, clothing (my son). Nothing special or big in anyway. 

Now Christmas is coming and I feel horrible that I might have to ignore this season once again. 

I have no tree and even if I did I have no decorations for it. 

Then presents….I don’t have extra money to buy myself much needed personal supplies let alone a present for him to unwrap. 

I am staying awake most nights trying to plan a way to come up with the money to load up my car with our main things and drive to Calgary where I can finally start to rebuild our life and give my son everything he deserves. 

I have sold what I had of value already to make it through the months where I am now. 

I don’t know what to do….I have no where to turn. 

I am a good person, a good mom. I don’t have any addictions and even with a ongoing painful back disease, I still manage to somehow make things work. 

I have been through so much in my life and have always came out the other end. 

My friends say they admire that about me that no matter what shit I deal with , I always make it through and never give up. 

Well, this girl is tired and is putting the energy out in a new direction and seeing if this is the way that will help open the door for life to get better. 

If this actually helps me to get back to the city and start my job and provide a home and new life for my son.: I will forever cherish that good stuff still happens for good people. 

I will always pay it forward and keep that fire burning deep inside me that I KNOW there is a reason why my path has been rough.  There is a reason why I have always come out the other side not being bitter or vengeful because of what has happened.

I just need this help to get my life rolling again. It feels like I am stuck in the mud and just don’t quite have enough umph to get that tire out. 

Thank you again for taking the time to read my request. I will gladly explain further to anyone who may have questions. 

If you donate, I truly appreciate your help and I will never let the paying it forward die away.

Single mom needing some help to purchase a home, good used car and pay other bills

I’m a single mother with 2 girls at home. I’m having a hard time getting a home loan due to my outstanding, past and current, school loans. Even though I don’t have to pay on them while I’m still in school (going to school for my BS in nursing) it’s still held against me.

The upper apt we live in now is in a quiet area but there’s a lot of drug actions and prostitution that take place in the apts behind us. Two years ago, a couple died in one of the apts from a drug overdose. Plus, they are starting to smoke and shoot up outside. Since the cold weather us upon us, they may not do it outside anymore but I still don’t want my girls around this. They don’t need to see it. If I had known this was going on, I wouldn’t have taken the apt 4 years, but it was the only place I could afford at the time. I haven’t called anything in because I’m afraid they may retaliate against me since my downstairs neighbor and I are the only ones that don’t use drugs around us. So I just keep to myself. I’ve looked around for a different place but I can’t afford the high rent. So that’s what brought me to looking into getting a home. The home I would like is a small 2 bedroom home. The neighborhood is great! My best friend grew up just a block over and bought a house at the end of the block she grew up on. So I know the area very well. They are asking $89,900 for the house. If you’d like to see the house, you can go to realtor.com and look up 2828 S 7th St., Sheboygan, WI 53081.

I was trying to get a loan for $100,000 so I could finish the attic and that could be my room and my girls could have their own rooms on the main level. If there would by any money left, I was going to get a new used mini van. My gas gauge doesn’t work, electrical system is messed up, blinkers work when they want, back windows don’t open anymore and my driver wiper goes off the window about 4 inches when in use.

When I started adding up the bills to see how much I would need to start over fresh (including getting the home, van, and money for the last 3 years of schooling I have left), I came up with $250,000. Since I know I differently wouldn’t be able to get a loan for that amount, I started searching for places that could possible help. I want to be able to provide a safe place for my girls and be truly happy for once. I live a very simple life and I work hard for the things I have. I have a feeling this house won’t last long on the market, and it’s the place they really want as well. They ask me every day if we got it yet or not. The look on their faces when I say no, not yet, really kills me. So, I’m putting my pride aside and asking for help to come up with $250,000. I know it’s a lot, but it would take care of so much and I could focus a lot more on just my girls and schooling.

If you are able to help, my paypal account is: paypal.me/pureharmony

 

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story.

P.S. I’ve included a picture of my last school loan amount. That doesn’t include this semester yet. My other pictures I tried to post wouldn’t load so I’m hoping this one will.

My mom and I are being evicted/medical financial help =/

Our current rent: $1400

I’m not sure how much it would cost to move from Maine to some place warmer, but here goes nothing…

I’m a bit confused about what to do and if this is the right place to get help from. I’m 18, I have C-PTSD and Sensory Integration Dysfunction. My mother is 53, and she used to be a teacher! For almost 20 years, until she had my older brother and I. Then she stayed home and raised us, for almost 12 years, until she had to get a divorce with my father due to his abusive behavior. Since then she has been trying to get another teaching job, struggling with severe arthritis in her fingers, depression, C-PTSD, and my dads abusive behavior that continued into 2015, for three years after their divorce. I had to drop out of my Junior year of high-school due to attendance/being homeless. We are being evicted again because of late payments, and we need to get the hell out of Maine! My mom actually moved from Wisconsin to Maine to get away from my father in 2013, but he followed us and moved a mile down the road… It is freezing here, and it causes my mothers arthritis to get worse… I was able to get my HiseTT G.E.D. almost immediately after dropping out. Regardless of my attendance, I maintained relatively good grades in both my English and Creative Writing classes. I love writing and would love to pursue it as a career/be able to afford quality therapy for my crippling social anxiety and or c-PTSD, in regards to the anxiety that stemmed from my sensory disorder. I currently deliver for grubhub.. 46523677_480739252415353_751411490577186816_n.jpgP.S. my moms landlord is kind’ve a jerk, and the laundry machine has crapped out/the front door doesn’t seal right so it’s drafty. We probably wont get the security deposit back… (the pic is of my mothers fingers in the pic, it breaks my heart how much pain they put her in) paypal.me/evictionhope

Single Grandmother raising 2 1/2 grandson and living with a friend. I need resources to provide him a home of his own

Dear Team and Courageous Liam!
 
 
I have the the opportunity of raising my middle grandchild Liam.  However, I am not set up to do so. Liam has been with me since November of last year. The last thing I want is to let him down. We, as many others do not have the resources required to obtain a stable home and environment. I am a young grandmother who is “starting all over again” and scared to death. Every day that I am blessed to look into his beautiful blue eyes my heart cringes at the reality that we both face, we have each other, but nothing else. I am currently staying with a friend in the rebuilding of hurricane Florence in Hampstead, North Carolina(Please note that I am from Ohio and moved to NC as planned in Oct of this year. I am not using Hurricane Florence as a means to get help, as the timing of our move was not desirable, but it it what it is and we are here. The housing market has skyrocketed and I only have a limited time where I am staying.) It is a lovely home, but it is not ours to call our own. A burden in itself. I just recently drove to Ohio to take him to his great grandparents who are 69 and 74 because I could not get proper daycare for him, as the waiting list for all surrounding counties exceed over 200 kids and wait list for day care centers can exceed as far as two years and my wages do not give me the means I need to pay. I, as I am always seeking solutions thought, what If I provide care for children? This would eliminate the process of me seeking care for Liam, as I do not have a college degree to afford a safe place for him as I work, this will kill two birds with one stone. I am currently employed but as it has been for many years, I am working to buy food, gas, and pay for a rental. My income will not allow me to provide him the care he and others seek as we try to live the “American Dream”. I know my story does not differ from millions of others, but in my mind I think, how can I talk to LeBron James, Elllen, Oprah without sounding like everyone else who is seeking financial support for relief. But everyone does that and I don’t want to be a burden.
I sent this letter to your team as well as Liam, because I want to give him a life where he feels secure and can succeed. I raised two girls on my own and the youngest Mallory is his mother, whom fell to the despair of prescription drugs and ultimately Heroine. He and many others who lose their parents to this epidemic have opportunities but lack resources. That is what I see, opportunity and this letter is to Liam to let him know that GIGI is going to reach out and do things she does not want to do in order to see him succeed.
I know this letter may not reach anyone but I am throwing it out there anyway. I know differences can be made and I know people are willing to lend a hand. I am at the very bottom desperation I would say to send this out for means of help.
My ultimate goal is to have a home for Liam, to care for those who are on waiting list and show the kids how beautiful life is and how a community helps shape our future.
Liam is 2 ½ he loves doing puzzles, singing and his mamma. He is a beautifully spirited little boy who with the right guidance and support will do good for human kind.
I will leave it at this, as I will take any recommendations on how to remedy our current situation. Even if it is just a life coach to wake me up every morning and get me going on what I need to do. I am at a brick wall trying to reach out for help. Even if it’s just a prayer.
Help me give Liam a second chance at life and not be a statistic. 
Thank you
Regina and Liam
 My dream is to have a home for Liam that is his, and provide support for the families in need of care as I wish to open my home to kids and give them the love and care from my heart.

Where do a start?

where do I start? Well I’m a single mother of a 6 year old and a 8 year old. Boy and girl, they are my whole world. There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for them. As a mother it’s hard to admit, I’m struggling. I’m doing my best to keep my head above water but I feel like I’m drowning. Their father is 100% out of the picture. As much as I don’t want to explain what happened, I feel that would be unfair. In all honesty, I’m still trying to figure out what happened. We where the most happy family. We was always doing things together as a family. Vacation, one day trips, museums and zoo. There was never a bad moment, at least not to me. We didn’t argue, not in the least bit. We respected each other. There was never bad language between us. It just started. Out the blue. Small things at first, like grabbing my arm hard without remorse. Shoving me out the way when he would walk by. Everytime I would try to talk about it, I was being the ‘over sensitive one’. But I know I wasn’t being over sensitive when I started to cover bruises or use makeup to cover black eyes and cheecks. And then one night, I sat there on our couch wondering what happened to our life. I snapped. That next morning, I helped him get ready for work as I usually did. Cooked him his favorite breakfast, and kissed him bye. I took the kids to school and notified them I would be picking them up and dropping them off for the rest of the year. Their dad was never allowed to pick them up. Thank God for overly safe strict schools that require a valid ID. I sat down that afternoon and I wrote a 5-6 front to back page letter. The last letter I would be writing him. Went online to reserve a uhal for pickup. Packed some needed things he wouldn’t notice gone. Cleaned the house, and waited for him to come home to his favorite dinner. The next morning, I did the same. Cooked, got him ready, kids off to school. Luckily he worked 10-12 hour shifts. I packed everything we would need. All my stuff, and everything of the kids. I left the letter on the bed.  I searched for the cheapest apartments I could find with the same day move in. Picked the kids up, and had the most longest, heartbreaking talk we ever had. Reassured them that we where gonna be ok. Of course I wasn’t a stay at home mom since the youngest was one. I had a great job, $11 an hour  about $800-$1000 a week (overtime was $19 an hour) And it really helped that this happened during income tax. And then things turn south. The company I’m working for isn’t doing well. Some people got laid off and some got less hours like me. I went from 5 days a week with full hours and lots of overtime, to 2 days a week with only 6-7 hours each day. The first night in our new apartment was quite. No call or anything. The next morning I woke up to a single text, “I’m glad your gone, I’ve wanted to end things for a while. Don’t call me, or text me. I’ll be changing my number. And don’t try to look for me, I’ll be out of state”  nothing more than just that. So now here I am, so close to the holidays. And I’ve ran extremely low on saving to provide for my children and I. I’m at a lost of what I’m going to do. I don’t know how I’m going to buy my kids winter clothes to fit them. Boots to keep them warm. Groceries to keep them full. Electricity to keep them warm. I don’t even know how I’m going to keep my car so I’m able to get us everywhere we need to go. We kinda live in the middle of nowhere. I hope and pray that someone can find it in there heart to help. I know God has better things for our future and this is just a rough patch. And I know everybody goes through them sometimes but right now, my heart aches. I cry myself to sleep trying to figure out what I can do. Please.

Single mom who needs help

Hi! Im a single mom of a 6 month old baby girl. Unfortunately, my hours at work as a private nanny have decreased to 12 hours a week. I work for a single father with 3 children ages 16, 12, and 10. They do not need full time supervision only picked up from school and taken to activities. I am lucky to be able to take the baby to work with me so that saves on a day care bill.

The father of my child who was court ordered to pay child support and see her every Sunday refuses to pay me or see her. I’m currently working on taking him back to court for not paying his child support and all court cost would be at his expense. He also refuses to take the parenting class that we were both court ordered to take. He was working full time but now he is only working part time. It has taken well over two months to get the state to contact his boss (Who is his friend) to start the garnishing process of his checks. I’m sure he will quit once this process takes place anyways. It will take another almost two months to even receive the money they do garnish from his checks.

In the mean time, I’m at a loss and dont know what to do for financial help. I dont want to lose our home!

Ive applied for several part time jobs just waiting back to hear and I have several bills do. I am just needing some extra help as of right now for possibly two months.

I dont know how I will make rent, utilities, phone bill, internet bill, car and home insurance for the next two months.

My rent is $800

Car/home insurance is $112

Phone bill is $118

Internet bill is $60

And my utilities are currently way past due with a balance of $403

Gas bill is $101 currently

Water and trash is $48 currently

Since I am having this difficulty I dont know how I will even buy her any Christmas gifts which makes me feel very guilty as a mother. Especially, since it is her first Christmas. I know she most likely won’t even know the difference but it still makes me feel bad as a mom.

So I am just asking for a little help to get by for the next couple months. Ive added up my expenses and for a couple months I would need about $3,000. If I could get help with any of this than I would not lose our home. I have had horrible stress and anxiety lately due to this burden. I feel it is starting to affect my health. I’m just not sure what else to do.

I want to say thank you in advance for any help I do get amd appreciate it to the fullest.

Four Month’s Head Start

I’m a single mother of two children who still live with me, and I am asking for $3,464. I work 40 hours a week, and I’m also back at school full-time (working on my degree in Psychology). Due to my previous school loan going into default, I didn’t qualify for any financial aid/grants for this past Spring, Summer and current Fall semester. This has put a tremendous strain on my finances and monthly bills. I am currently on a Loan Rehabilitation program through College Assist; I’m so excited to say that my last payment with them will be tomorrow and, after that, my loan will be officially out of default (enabling me to apply – and qualify – for a grant for the upcoming Spring semester).

I am also expecting to get hired onto a company I was previously employed at – and would be making a substantially larger amount of money. The hiring process with this company is very lengthy (three to months is not an unusual amount of time it can take to get officially hired on, unfortunately).

I am asking for four months’ worth of assistance in our rent ($616/month) and food ($250/month): $2,464 for rent & $1,000 for food. The Grand total = $3,464.

I know this is a lot to ask for; however, this is a last resort. I have toyed with the idea of getting an installment loan; however, the only type I qualify for will have me paying back at least $13,464 – for the $3,464 borrowed. Not a sensible option, so I definitely want to refrain from going that route.

Anything you can donate towards the $3,464 I’m asking for would be tremendously appreciated. My children and I thank you so much for your consideration.

Car broke down & roof leaking bad

I was renting to own my 16×80 trailer & an acre & a half of land for a total of around $9000.00. I liked 298$.00 paying everything off & it would b mine, but the bank foreclosed, auctioned it off to someone else, now i’m having to pay 300.00 to $350.00 a month to another landlord. I paid $8800.00 to own my home & don’t even own it. The roof has been leaking & it’s just getting worse. I have experience on fixing it. I just don’t have the money to fix it or have someone fix it. It’s starting to get cold & my electric bill is always higher this time of year trying to keep warm. I figure it’s gonna cost around $2500 to $3000 for me to fix it myself & probably double to have someone fix it.
If that wasn’t enough on me, my parents helped me out and bought me a car in October of 2017 so i could take my 3 children to the doctor, school, etc. Had the car checked out & there was no problems at all. Drove it for about 4 or 5 months, no problems. Then i was on my way home one day & the transmission started slipping. What would have took me 20 minutes to get home ended up taking me 2 hours. We have been having to call & get someone to give us a ride here & there since the car broke down. The car still cranks, it just won’t go in gear. I have tried working on it myself, but i just can’t find the problem. It’s gonna cost at least $2000.00 to have the transmission replaced. I don’t know what else to do. I can’t seem to catch a break. I just feel like if it wasn’t for bad luck, i wouldn’t have any luck at all. Please help

Trying to find hope

Hi all,

I really never do this kind of thing but I am in a desperate need and a desperate time in life.. I usually am the one helping and giving to others which is crazy because now one needs assistance and where is everyone? Anyways let me start off by saying I am a 26 year old young woman with three little children. I am a single mom to a four year old, three year old and four month old child.  I obviously just had a baby not too long ago. After having my baby I messed my back up. I messed my back up on August 4, 2018 and have been out of work since having my son on June 15. I was scheduled to return in September but with my condition I couldn’t even walk. I still am not at work. I have received two injections in my lower back to help ease the pain with my disc sitting on my nerve but so far it doesn’t seem to be working. Surgery may be in the near future but who knows. With all this being said I am broke as heck and need help paying my bills to stay a float or even meals I will take food! Not even for me but for my children. Help me feed my kids at least. Winter is coming and my daughter could use a couple things for winter like boots and mittens maybe some sweatshirts. Diapers are always a need and wipes. This is embarrassing but this mama is just trying to make it work and provide. I try to tell myself this is temporary and that is too shall pass. Hard times will pass. I am just thankful to be alive! Thanks for reading and god bless!

Single mom, disabled child, needs your help

0DD3705A-1771-41EA-A934-1C0919E894ED.jpegHello, I am a 26 year old mom of an almost 3 year old boy. Me and my son are both disabled. I suffer from mental health issues, narcolepsy & sciatica. My son has a severe case of sensory processing disorder and is non verbal. He is in speech and occupational therapy 3x a week. We are both on the autism spectrum. Me and this beautiful boys father were together for 8 years, & he has struggled with opiate addiction since before we met, which I was unaware of for some time. He took care of me and was functioning normally until the past few years, so the addiction was easy to hide. When I was pregnant I realized what was going on, he hit a “rock bottom” of sorts & I started to see this mans true colors. He was in a head on collision, totaled my car, stole all my valuables and sold them, went to jail and caused severe stress on my pregnancy. Missed very important doctor visits and essentially tore my heart out. He loves his son but his addiction overtakes him. He has turned into a very disturbed, self destructive, abusive and manipulative man. Due to these issues I’ve had to get myself and my son away from him. We moved out of our apartment where we were secure, to escape and try to build a better life for ourselves. We would be homeless if it wasn’t for the help of family members. He put us as a family in over $20k in credit card/loan debt. Our joint bank account & 2 credit cards are all overdraft hundreds of dollars. I have access to no funds or accounts. As I am unable to work the only income I have comes from what he chooses to give us (which is not much or often) we go to food banks, local places who help low income families – but it is simply not enough. At the moment we are living with my mom, who is very emotionally and financially unstable herself. This is not a good situation for any of us. I am trying my hardest to do right by my child, I feel useless and like a failure as a mom. I wish more than anything to not have the medical problems I do so that I could be more independent and provide for my child. Every month my car is at risk of repo, phone is at risk of cancellation, more times than not I can’t afford food, gas, diapers and basic necessities. I feel so defeated. The situation has taken a huge toll on me mentally and most days I wonder how I will carry on. If it wasn’t for the love of my child I don’t think I would be able to anymore. This is what I am asking for help with. Anything helps, anything. I am in the process of getting SSI but it is a very lengthy and drawn out process. My immediate goal is to simply survive and have our necessities for the day to day. Long term my goal is to get my individual debt (which is actually pretty minimal) taken care of so we can get our own house & get back on track. Prayers are always welcome. Thank you very much for your kindness in advance.

Trying to get my head above water

Hi.  My name is Sheila.  I’m a mom of four awesome kiddos.  They mean everything to me.

So a little background into our situation…My abusive ex left us a few years ago with little to no contact with the kids and absolutely no support whatsoever.  I worked my butt off to provide a safe and stable home for us.  It was rough and there were days that I thought we weren’t going to make it.  Things had started to look up until earlier this year when he showed back up out of the blue demanding I pay him Child support and deciding that he suddenly needed to spend time with them.  He picks them up and drops them off whenever he feels like it.  Some days I’m afraid he just won’t bring them home.  The police refuse to do anything because he is their father.  He has blatantly lied on all his court documents but they all just go along with him.  It’s upsetting and frustrating.  Now I am up to my ears in lawyer fees, doctor bills, and loans that I had to take out to just to cover essential every day living.  Currently I’m looking at about $20,000 of debt that I a pay what I can on.  It’s disheartening  and it’s gotten to the point where I just don’t know what to do anymore.  I work full time. I have sold everything valuable I own, I don’t own a new car but it runs for now, I don’t buy anything new for myself and I budget the best I can.  It’s just not enough.  I’m still supporting my kids on my own.

I am unable to get any help from my family as they all have their trials they are going through.  My parents are both retired and living on a fixed income.  My mom was just recently diagnosed with lung cancer even though she has never smoked a day in her life and now going through radiation.  My sister just finished up her last surgery from her breast cancer diagnosis last year.

I really need some help so that I don’t end up losing my kids and living on the street.

So Thank you for taking the time to read this.  Any help would be deeply appreciated!

I am a pay it forward sort of person and I hope to get to the point where I will be able to turn around and help others in need.

My son

Hello all. I have to beg for help because my family aren’t able to help. My ex decided he wants nothing to do with me or our son anymore because he was constantly spending his months wages paying my bills, struggling with his own to the point it gave him depression, put him on meds, struggled to pay his own bills and put him in debt so he feels he has to distance himself for a while until he becomes more stable.

I can’t get a job due to being a full time single mum, universal credits keep messing up my payments and my money. I can barely afford to pay my rent and have food for my son so please. I’m asking if anyone is willing to give a girl a little help? I pushed everyone away due to my own issues. I want things to get better. I need this to get better so my son can have a happy life. He turns 1 in a couple of weeks, I can’t do anything for his birthday. Christmas is coming up and I can barely afford to get him anything for Christmas either.

I want my ex back. I want to help him with his problems but at the moment I cause more due to being in this position, all of this happened because I don’t have any money. Buying everything for our son and paying my bills ate all of his wages for months. Ate all of his savings. I never wanted that to happen. No one in my family was in a position to help me financially.

I just want my family back together. We were a great couple until these money issues started then we just started to crash and burn.

If anyone’s willing to help then please donate to paypal.me/LilLeo17

Help with climbing out of hole

Hi, I’m asking for help to climb out of my financial hole. I call it a whole because my hardships have caused me to dig myself deeper and deeper into financial lockdown. Not only have I lost my only car my dad didnt help me get,but I’m also jobless due to consistent abdominal issues and kidney stones.  About two years ago my father became very ill,and without second thought I became his caretaker. I’m glad this happened because it gave us both a chance to rekindle our relationship . But sadly he passed. And I prayed to him and asked him to help me with a job and 2 days later I landed my highest paying job yet. That allowed me to get my reliable car that was later repossessed,put my son in sports to watch his health do much better but now gotten worse  ( he has high cholesterol) and just really live life after losing my dad. Then my health plummeted, and I missed work and then later was laid off. With so much debt my savings went to car payments ,car insurance, health insurance,  life insurance, helping my mom with her own bills, and just living life with my son. All that stopped. Car got repossessed,  so now no car. I walk everywhere .and at times I’m bedridden because of my  belly pains so my son misses school. School functions stopped, etx. I’m praying after many web searches online that this is my saving grace.  I need financial help with not only my medical Bill’s, but I now need a car again, money to fix my credit card that I fell back on, and now my bank closed my savings and checking due to a crazy negative balance.  Now my family takes advantage of me not working and looks down on me as the person who has to do everything for them because I’m no longer bringing in money. I just need a leg up and I’d be able to go interviews with jobs I can work from home from, take my son to school and sports and get back on the up and ups. And become independent again. Show shows family im not a disappointment, and just because my sick doesn’t define what I cant do. A miracle would be to also secure a home for us. I’ve applied for assistance and only my son gets food assistance.  Which I’m thankful for. And health insurance.  Anything will be appreciated and furthermore a huge blessing. Thanks in advance .xo

Struggling to get ahead

Hi

I’m a single mum that finally escaped a violent marriage. Don’t want sympathy. I’m free and safe.

I don’t get any help from the father as his children refuse to talk to him so he feels he shouldn’t pay. Type of man he is. We have moved to a different country to be free. I managed to get a job within 5 days of being here and work 45+ hours a week. I’m not lazy just can’t seem to earn money fast enough. Having to get all new school uniforms and a car my little savings that I had have gone. I have tried to get a bank loan but you have to have 3 years proof of address in this country to be eligible.

I just can’t seem to earn money fast enough and am so scared of losing the first home my children and I feel safe in. I don’t know where else to look for help.

I would like just the money to pay for next year’s rents so I can get ahead with my bills instead of living month to month not knowing If I can pay or not. By being ahead I can put the money aside knowing we’re safe and if an emergency comes I have a little freedom.

My son just had to go dentist which meant I didn’t have all the money for the rent. I’m now behind again. Just seems as soon as I get up to date I get in debt again. Hate living like this. I don’t spend any money on myself. I don’t drink or go out. Luckily I work in the food industry and I can eat at work so only buy food for my children. That way I can buy them little treats.

Just waiting for next year’s rent and I know it’s nearly 4000. Panicking how I’m going to find the money to pay it.

Sorry for the sob story and thank you so much for any help offered

I will forever be grateful for your kindness.

Please help ?

Hi,

This is my last option. Obviously I am a single mom, hence the category. I am divorced now with 3 kids. We live in a small 2 bedroom condo and I have always worked 2 jobs to take care of my family.

About 10 years ago, I developed Rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia along with multiple other things like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, Sjogren Disease among other things. Anyway, those things never stopped my from taking care of things, until recently. The longer I have these incurable auto immune diseases the worst my condition gets. I am not at the stage where I qualify for disability because I am able to function about 3 to 4 days a week with minimum flare ups and pain. Unfortunately, I have been “released” from 2 jobs now because of the days I am unable to walk or use a limp do to a severe weekly flare up. I currently have a job I am able to work 22 to 28 hours a week, most weeks anyhow. This unfortunately is considerably many hours less than I used to work and need to work to keep up with my utilities and rent. I am asking for help to get me and my kids through the next couple of months so our electric and water will not be shut off.

My long term plan is to find work that is more of a seditary job and hopefully one that I am able to work from home on the days I am unable to walk. I am currently on 22 pills a day and weeks shots. Waiting on insurance to approve an infusion procedure, that is my last medical option to be able to physically be functional and will eliminate some flare ups and some of my prescriptions.

I am not only accepting money donations but also any suggestions of work ideas or words of encouragement.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, it means a lot to me that you took the time.

Thanks again,

Single Mom In Need of Some Blessings

Hello, my name is Crystal I am the mother of 4 totally awesome kids. My eldest son which is 19 is 6’7 and no he does not play basketball lol. I had my eldest son at the age of 17 and his little brother was not far behind. They are 13 months apart. Their biological father was mentally and physically abusive . I stayed in that relationship for 5 years . Coming from a broken home myself I thought I was doing the right thing. Boy was I mistaken but I grew from it and got out in a hurry. I had always worked from the day my sons was born because I had no other choice didn’t really have a mother figure or any help from family besides my dad. I meet a wonderful man several years later had my first baby girl in 2004 then her little sister was not far behind in 2006 . I almost died having her and I thought well 4 is way enough crystal so I stopped at that. My husband was from Mexico we had some money saved from working and we went to do the right thing and get him to be a citizen payed way to much to lawyers and in the end his denial reason was you have been in the United States for over a year illegally you are banned from reentering for 10 years. My world was crushed and well it’s almost been 10 years but this has been the roughest 10 yrs of my life. I have been working and still cannot seem to get out of the whole. My credit is horrible at this point and my son was shot 2 months ago and had flatlined 2 times before they could redo his artery in his leg and put the titanium plate in where his femur use to be. A 9mm at close range almost took my 18 yr old son away from me and away from his daughter which was one. It seems like I have been plagued with any and everything this world could throw at me and while I have went through my trials and tribulations I have tried to stay strong but this past year has really taken a toll on me. I am so prideful and I was taught you don’t beg you work for it. Well I have been working and praying and praying and working and I just don’t know at this point . I am not asking for a lot. My girls some new school clothes and to just be able to get caught up a little would be amazing . To just be able to spend the day with my kids and not worry about what will make of the next day , to be able to take a sigh of relief we were just hit by hurricane michael two weeks ago and had just gotten power and water back a few days ago. I was able to get some assistance back on the food I lost but fema claimed my house was still livable and the SBA denied me for a loan because I didn’t have enough income to pay it back with the size of my household. Anything would be appreciated and I know their are people in way worse shape than me but at this point I have thrown all my possible life rafts out. God bless you all and have a great evening.

A Break in life

Hi, I am a divorced single mum of 4 wonderful children, the youngest 3 live with me. The eldest of my children, my mini me, couldn’t cope with the split of her family and it turns out her living with her father and his fiancé where she can get a lot more attention and help was best for her. A decision that will forever break my heart, but it’s not what was best for me.

I am looking to ask for help with me getting my life back on track.

Since the break down of my marriage (due to both of us, though I was the one who eventually called it a day) 3 years ago I have struggled financially and not always handled things the correct way.

For instance I turned to credit cards to make ends meet when I couldn’t afford food shopping after paying all the bills. Thus actually making things worse. I have since cut up those credit cards but I am paying a large sum each month paying back those debts that I owe, something I strongly believe I need to do, though my not overly supportive family just think I should file for bankruptcy and be done… there are a few reasons I do not wish to follow their advice and instead ask for help on here.

The most pressing reason is that I am currently in my middle year of college, getting my Accountancy degree. Something I have always wanted but wasn’t allowed to pursue. If I have a bad credit history this will greatly effect any career in finance, I am so desperate to have this career and give my children a better life, I want to exhaust all other options before considering it. I’m doing well at college and thoroughly enjoy my course, I don’t always get the answers right, but then how would I learn if I did? It’s incredible how much making numbers work pleases me. I also want to show my children that anything is possible at any age, you’ve just got to apply yourself.

Another reason is like I said previously I am desperate to pay back my debts. I don’t want to owe people money, and definitely not get them “written off”. This means a great deal to me and I feel also is a very good lesson for my children to learn that if you borrow something then you are expected to give it back with the agreed upon terms.

Up until recently I had a part time minimum wage job, I got pushed out of that job a few weeks ago and things have got really bad since then. I have suffered with depression for many years and my most recent employer was brilliant at first, then as the job evolved and things changed the support levels dropped considerably and I struggled to keep my mental health in check. I visited my doctor and therapist regularly to try and build myself back up, but I ended up unable to cope and had to take time off. When trying to return to work I had even less support to the point I was even sent home as they didn’t want me there. I would like to point out that my level of work I kept up through it all, I was paid to do a job and I gave it my all. I ended up feeling I had no their choice but to quit.

Im trying to get another job as I want to be able to support myself but being a single parent with no additional support (my family live over 100 miles away) I am extremely restricted by childcare.

please can you spare anything to help me get through these tough days, I can’t even go grocery shopping at the moment as I have nothing left. The benefits I will need to rely on are being sorted but incredibly slowly.

Please give me the break I am so desperate for.

Christmas for my 5 children

Hello my name is Michele. I am a single mother of 5 beautiful children. Ages 10, 8, 7, 6, & 5.

I am writing this post because as a single mother I am tight on money, & would Love to give all 5 of my children a great Christmas this year!

I am aware that whats most important any Holiday is the gift of Love. That material things are not always important or needed.

My children have always had a wonderful Christmas in the past, but this year, or possibly a future Christmas even, I am wanting to give them more! More Love of course! as well as Gifts, in which they have not been able to receive for this Holiday before. All past Christmas’s we have baked and spent time with the few family members we do have. Christmas cards and movies. Thats been our Christmas’s.

I want my children to be able to experience Christmas on a level they have not been able to before. I want them to see what giving and receiving on Holidays is all about. Something that will put the biggest smiles on their faces, something that will surprise them like never before, and make them ask Me, “what is this all about mom?” Also so I can experience the joy on their tiny faces, their reactions towards something so new to them.

If anyone would like to assist my children & I this Christmas 2018 we would greatly appreciate it!

I would Love to Make a small dinner, enough to feed my children as well as myself, & i would Love to give them all at least 1 possibly 2 presents each this year!

If you can help us out in anyway at all, please do use our paypal link @ paypal.me/lee0051

Thank you! & God Bless!

About to lose it all

I honestly need $3500 to catch up on bills. I am a single mom who lost your job due to my babysitter quitting. I have not been able to keep a job cents due to unstable babysitters. I don’t receive any help from father ( Logan turns three in December, father has only seen him twice and never even touched him)Childcare is very expensive close to $300 a week. I have a title loan out on my car that is three months past due and they are threatening to repossess and my rent is four months behind and they are threatening to evict me. My electric bill is also for months behind I’ve yet to receive a disconnection notice but I know it’s coming. My rent is 552 a month my electric bill is up to 500 and you completely pay off my title on it it would be 900. I’m not asking for you to help me with everything because I’d still like to give. I want you to be able to give to others as well. But my son has no diapers we have no milk and very limited food. He has two pairs of pants that will fit in this winter and Christmas is coming up in his birthday is two days after. I am stressed more than anyone could ever imagine. While it would be nice be able to pay off all of my bills anything helps to give us a little bit of groceries and get him diapers and maybe a couple pair pants wouldn’t still be a huge blessing. Thank you for your time in reading this and they appreciate what you do for others.

World turned upside down

So as I like to say one nap at a time… October 2016 after about three years of irregular sleep patterns and constantly feeling tired I was diagnosed with Narcolepsy with Cataplexy. I’ve had symptoms since I was about 5yrs old. Not being able to express myself correctly or not expressing all my symptoms because of fear of judgement, I spend most of my life misdiagnosed. A few months from my 30th bday my body had enough. Constant pain, hallucinations, black, numbness  and Cataplexy attacks got the best of me. After working with me for almost 2 yrs my employer advised I take a leave to try other medications or treatment options. After three months my doctor informed me that I would not be able to return. “ I mean I need a steady hand to give injections after all! Would you let a nurse with a numb or shaky hands give you a shot?” To say the least not being able to work is heartbreaking. Working as a nurse in Allergy and Asthma was so rewarding. Interacting with patients from different backgrounds, race, ages and beliefs was rewarding. Teaching and learning was a constant thing at work.  So I was determined to go back. I had a game plan . I had savings, withdrew my 401K plan and I was set. I was going to find something, anything to help me get better.. Well here we are, almost the end of the year, ran out of my savings and 401K. Single mother of 4  ( two of which were also diagnosed with Narcolepsy with Cataplexy). Child support is not enough. Disability has been denied.m, appeal has been filed. I can’t seem to keep my head above water. Where to go from here? How do I as for help when I have always had a plan? I mean, even my plastic containers are organized… how did I get here?  Any donation will help just to get us through.

My miracle babies and Ms. Evan

Hi my name is Shannon, I am mom to Paige, Tayler, Alea, Evan and Braedyn and this is our story…

I wasn’t always a single mom, in fact I was married to the father of my children for many years. In 2014 our daughter Alea was diagnosed with a very rare form of cancer, she was 14 at the time and just about to start high school. Our oldest daughter Paige had moved out a few years earlier and our son Tayler would soon graduate high school, our youngest daughter Evan was 7. Alea has gone into surgery for the removal of what they then thought was a cyst, unable to fully remove the mass and concerned by the look of it her doctor sent a sample to pathology. The pathologists here were unable to determine what it was and the sample was sent to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester. She was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma, only 200 or so cases in the world and the pediatric oncologist that she needed to see was a six hour drive from our home. In the fall of that she would undergo the first of many surgeries to remove her tumor and repair the damage. That surgery left her in a wheel chair, needing 24 hour care until they could heal and grow more tissue. I was able to take leave of absence from my job to stay with her. After several more surgeries to repair a hole in her leg we were told to return in 6 months for a recheck MRI, it was clear. When we returned in a year for her recheck an emergency biopsy was scheduled because her cancer had come back. For the next six months we traveled back and forth to the oncologists’s office, sometimes twice a week and I took another leave of absence of to care for her thru an amputation and physical therapy. In March of 2016 I found out I was pregnant, my husband had a vasectomy 8 years prior and it failed. A lot of soul searching went into the decision to continue my pregnancy. In Sept of that year I was put on bed rest, took another leave of work and our son Braedyn was born at 31 weeks weighing 3 lbs, he spent the next two months in the NICU and I drove an hour twice a day to feed and be with him. For Alea he was a saving grace and they are very close, for my husband it was all too much stress, he had a break down, quit his job and left. I was unprepared to support my family with my income alone and continue medical appointments and travel costs and care for Braedyn so my oldest daughter moved home to help. It wasn’t easy but somehow we got thru it and began to settle into our new normal. In the summer of 2017 I lost my long time job, without warning, when the business closed. That fall Alea’s recheck MRI came back clear and Braedyn has been healthy since his release from the hospital. We are blessed to have made it this far and to have one another, we are strong in family and have many things to be thankful for. The financial toll this has taken has been disastrous and on May 24, 2018 our home was sold at the sheriff’s auction. Alea graduated in August and works at TJ Max in Colorado and Paige went back to her life and gave birth to my first grandchild this year. Evan started 6th grade in September and Braedyn turned two on the 19th. We have to be out of our house by December, thankfully we have somewhere to go. I am asking for $3000 to help us with living expenses for the next two months while we move, get settled and get back on our feet. I have reached the point of zero money, zero options and have sold pretty much everything I own. It’s been hard on Evan the last few years, staying with others while we traveled back and forth, her dad leaving and losing our home. I would be incredibly greatful for the opportunity to focus my time and attention on her while we move and piece our lives back together. I have always worked and worked hard for my family but there’s no time to breathe and it’s really hard to come up out of our situation when I spend each day just trying to survive and get thru that day. Thank you for your consideration.

Starting over, 3 kids and myself.

My name is Lindsy

I have 3 children ages 8,7 and 1.

We have just moved back in with my parents after leaving our house that we shared with my ex boyfriend of nearly 7 years. in the beginning of that relationship it was good. He was kind, I was happy and so were my two oldest children. A couple of years into the relationship things started to get bad, he was more snappy with me and the kids and I was constantly worried that we would do something to upset him, so I did everything I could to keep the peace. a couple of years ago was when he finally became abusive physically to me, I had just found out I was pregnant about a month before and he punched me in the mouth and pushed me down in the laundry room of our home. I left with my two children, what clothes I had on my back and a few things for them and went back home to my parents house. A few months passed and I took him back after he told me finally that he was suffering from drug addiction and that he needed help and he wanted to change. I was shocked, I never even considered the idea of him being addicted to any drug, and the fact that I was pregnant and that I felt like it was my obligation as a decent human being to be there in a time that he had so desperately needed help, I did. and I took him back and had him put into a 30 day drug rehab program. I gave birth to our child January 2017 and things seemed good for a while, until a couple months ago when he again punched me in the face, breaking on of my back teeth, and busting my mouth. this time I left again, and will not be going back, I feel like I have done my duty as a committed girlfriend and mother to the children by getting him help and trying again to make it work, but I do not and my children do not deserve that.

so I am asking just for a little extra cash, whatever can be spared to help me get my life back in order. to put a payment down on a house for me and them, and to start over fresh without him.

Mommy/daughter day!

Hello.  Here is my request. I’m a single mom to a 3 year old girl.  When I’m not working me and my kid do everything together. Watch movies, read books,  laugh at silly games and voices we do lol.  We are just alike.  I love being able take my kid out to Magic Mountain or to golden corral, zoo,  or just somewhere we can bond at.  Anyway were been financially struggling for a moment, so we have not been able to do much, beyond work and daycare.  Granted I know there are free places to go as in the park, library and public museums. We have done those activities alot lately, and I want to blow her mind surprising her with something fun, bonding, and unfamiliar. I did a budget plan to see when we will be back on track financially, and it will not be until November 28th. I really want to be able to get a costume and take her trick or treating, she got upset when we had to put the Wonder Woman costume back.  Along with living in a hotel room we are beyond bored and confined. We just want to get out and relax beyond work and daycare.  Even just for one day or a weekend. Really I want to do something with my kid and not have to wait till the first if December.  I sound ungrateful but I just want to make her day something I haven’t been able to do in awhile.  PayPal.
