Hello –

My name is Linda.  I am a single mother.  I have two amazing children.  I work 1 full time job – and 1 part time job and am continuing to look for other ways to bring in income.  I budget my money – say no to my kids more times than I would like.  This is my situation – once you fall behind – its next to impossible to get ahead.  6 years ago – I had to file for a Chapter 13 – had bad advice and got into tax trouble.  I am happy to say that I completed my Chapter 13 – it has been discharged.  That was no easy feat.  In order to do that – I had to juggle what else I could pay.  I ran my car to 245,000 miles and into the ground.  I need an injection of $10,000 – so that I can get back on top.  We can get by on what I make – barely – and I will continue to manage that closely.  What we can’t get past – is paying off the debts and getting ahead so that I can breathe.  If I could start even and clean – I can move us into a much more balanced financial future and – remove the stress – which overwhelms our daily life.  I have some medical bills, and loans – that accrued while I paid off the Chapter 13.  I am trying to sell my home – and once that is done – I will be debt free.  The house needs some work to put it in a place to sell – but I can’t  spend money I don’t have.  It’s a vicious circle.  I just want to go to bed one night – and not be up worrying about who I can pay and what to do with who I can’t.  I would like to say yes to my son – I can buy you a new pair of shoes today – since your shoes have holes in them.  But if I buy him shoes – I don’t pay a medical bill or another payment that puts me further behind and leads to more finance charges.  I’ve tapped out my family.  I will repair my credit – now that the Chapter 13 is discharged – but it is not ok now – so I can’t get a credit card and consolidate everything.  Everywhere I look – I hit a wall.  Today – I will start driving for Uber – one more way to try and bring in  money – and I will continue to balance and juggle.  I am just  dreaming of being at $0 debt and living within my means.  I can’t get out of this hole – without help.  Thank you for reading this – and thank you for considering helping me.

I’m sorry I can’t add a picture because it keeps telling me my images are to big, but i would still like to tell my side.

Last year I became a single mother, my daughter’s dad has taken no responsibility, lied and didn’t support us any where throughout my pregnancy or after. He dated another girl behind my back and took her on holiday while I was 9 months pregnant, was told that my baby might not be growing properly and I’d just gone on to maternity leave. To find all this out with nothing to show from him but running myself into debt to try to buy for my baby put massive emotional pressure on me, On top of this I’d just moved into a beautiful but expensive flat with my sister that we’d saved to move into and I saw pregnant 3 weeks into it. It’s easy for my daughter’s father to say “I tried to trap him” but it doesn’t make sense and a complete cop out. I caught a severe case of prenatal depression and some postnatal so now I’m taking an antidepressant for the first time ever. I have worked as a chef for 12 years, and jobs throughout my teens but I can’t go back to the hours that chef life requires plus I already feel like I’ve had to miss out on my daughter. So I’m claiming benefits in the UK for the first time ever which isn’t the best feeling and with debts spiralling, I feel like I need the debts to go to start recovering properly and getting back on track. My daughter’s father left us homeless, no pram, no cot or moses basket so I had to move back in with my parents at nearly 29 and they luckily brought us a pram and moses basket or we would of been screwed at 9months gone. I went into labour almost 2 weeks early which was probably down to stress. Not sure what else to say but thank you for listening and hopefully helping us out

Single mom struggling.

I am a 37yo single mom of two wonderful kids ages 7 and 10. I have also been taking care of my mentally disabled mother for the last 4.5 years.

The past few years have been very rough on all of us. I went through a divorce after 11 years of marriage and then just under a year later, sad and vulnerable, I fell into an abusive relationship ending when he finally escalated and beat me up. During the fight my face slammed on the bathtub and cracked two of my front teeth. One eventually fell out and one is loose. I currently wear a retainer of sorts with a fake tooth in it so I don’t walk around looking a mess. And will continue to wear it until I can afford to have it fixed. 

We are now on our own and the 50 hours a week I work isn’t making ends meet.  I work very hard, but cannot afford to pay my bills on time and am always in fear of utilities being shut off or being evicted.

I’m trying so very hard and don’t know what else to do. I pour my life into my family and work and just want to be able to pay my bills, buy healthier food, and not be so scared that the car’s going to break or the kids are going to need something for school or something I can’t afford. My kids are in football on scholarship and once the season is over I will get a second job to make things work. For now, though,  sports are what bring my children a much needed outlet and friends.

I saw this site and thought it was worth a shot.

I need help to get my baby boy and I back home to a safe place. We are in North Dakota and need to move back to my home state Michigan because my baby’s dad is no longer taking care of us. I am a 19 year old very intelligent good looking woman who made a terrible choice in trusting in my baby’s father who is 28 years old and extremely irresponsible. He lost his job last month and has spent almost every dime he had left on online dating and hookup sites. We are currently living in a mobile home in Belfield, ND but he has not paid the rent, our power is being shut off on August 23rd, 2017, we are almost $10,000 in debt with all of our expenses added up. I am down to the last 10 diapers for my son and we don’t even have a working vehicle or money to get more. He seriously spent all of our money on sex sites trying to get another woman so we cannot pay one single bill or buy food! We have been living off the food pantry for a few months now. My baby’s father is an addict and I am slowly becoming one myself and I just want to go home before I ruin my and my sons life out here with him. I have not one single friend or family member here. He threatens to take my phone every time I say I wanna leave and threatens to lie to police and throw me in jail so I don’t get custody of our son. He is a sick liar and has disappointed me more than anyone has ever in my life and I have been through A LOT. Please help me get home with my baby boy to a safe and loving home!

I got myself into a toxic relationship at a young age and had a baby, now I am trying to get myself out of it.

I feel like my life is falling to pieces and I am trying to stay strong and positive for my kids.

I cannot take the abuse anymore and I need help to get out of this. I don’t have friends or family to rely on for help. My mom passed away when I was 13 and my dad hasn’t been in my life for years.

Everyone needs help sometimes in their lives. I bought me a car and was in school but lost my car and had to quit school.

Now things are really bad at home and I need to get my kids out of this environment. I need to save for another car so I can begin working and going back to school.

I would Like something in the medical field, or to become a teacher. Just need a little help to get there. 

We are also falling behind on the bills. Rent is 400 and past due and the other bills are coming up.

Really need help to get a car so I can start working and going to school TO GIVE MY KIDS THE LIFE THEY DESERVE. I don’t want them to grow up thinking its ok to get treated like their dad treats me.

Any amount of donation would help me so much. I feel like Im hitting rock bottom and don’t know what else to do, so I came here to ask for your help.

My goal is to save enough money for a car, get a job, put kids in daycare and school, go to school myself, and buy a small safe home.

Will you help us reach our goals?

God bless you and thanks in advance.

I am a single mom of 2 teenage kids. I work two jobs and have always had to work two jobs since my kids were born. I have always been able to manage but the past three years have hit me hard and things just seem to keep piling up. On top of my regular bills I now have medical bills coming in due to a surgery I had to have and had put off for years due to the costly medical bills I know I would inquire. We were without a car for a while but I was able to save up and get us one and within a month a car ran a red light and did a hit and run messing up the front bumper. I wanted to claim it on my insurance but as we all know that will make my insurance bill go up for some years and I am barely making it as it is. No matter how hard I am trying to come ahead something is always happening. I know that people have hard times all the time but making miracles happen seems to be getting harder and harder and now with school starting I find myself in even a bigger bind trying to get my kids read for school. I tried to upload pictures of some of the bills but it kept saying the files were too big.  Any kind of help is greatly appreciated. PayPal.me/cgarcia839

Thank you

I’m the mom of two beautiful boys(5 and 14). I support and provide for them without any financial help from their fathers. Although they both see and spend time with their dads, the men do not contribute financially to my household.  I choose to stand on my own feet as much as possible. I feel that child support is unnecessarily punitive, usually to fathers, and having my son’s fathers financially beholden to me does not serve the purpose of bettering my children’s lives. I do work, part time, as a care-giver. It’s a job that I’m passionate about and allows me to have the flexibility in my schedule that I feel my children need. My career field does not pay very well. So, I struggle. I fight to keep the bills paid, usually paying whichever is closest to being shut off any particular month. I float short-term loans from family members so I can make the rent(which is more than half of what I earn each month). I take extra shifts when my kids are with their dads.  I do whatever I can to keep things covered but, it gets so frustrating and disheartening sometimes. I have zero financial security. I can’t save anything when I’m running in the red, every month. I’m sure my story isn’t unique or even very compelling but, I feel like, it can’t hurt to ask. It wouldn’t take much to give me a little piece of mind and security. I had a little savings at the beginning of the year, about $1000, then the brakes went out on my 10 year olds van(which I need for work) so, that’s where that went. I’d love to be able to say, if something comes up(car breakdown, vet bills, unexpected needs), that I could have a plan for that. Or be able to give my boys something besides Toys for Tots for Christmas, or get an oil change and decent snow tires on the old steed, before winter hits. Or fill my oil tank at the house(which costs $750) so we don’t have to use space heaters again this winter.  So, in conclusion, thanks for reading and if you feel compelled to help, it would be most appreciated!

With my car being so bad i cant work enought i work 6 days a week 4 hours a day. I have to pay all the bills and stuff and no money in my account. paypal.me/mommykaye8

I know maybe there are millions of people going through same situation but I never know if I don’t try, at least I am hoping there is someone out there kind enough who’s gonna read this and help me out.

I am a single mother of 2 beautiful children’s, boy 34 months old and girl 6 months old, recently separated due to domestic violence.

My kids means everything to me this is why I need to give them the “start for life” they need.

Before I had my little boy, I’ve been going through a lot of investigations and I tell you why, he was number 8 pregnancy and I can say even though all this problems and loosing so many pregnancies I never gave up hope like I do hope some one will read my story and help, then number 9 pregnancy been blessed with a beautiful daughter which I can say she has completed my life.

Why I need money? I am a very hard working person and before I had kids I was working 2 full time jobs and a part time job and carried on after I had my son and why? My ex was an addict, drugs, drinks, sex, porn, holidays to Thailand, dirty chats on FB,… Who was paying for all this? Me. Why? Because I loved him and I wanted him to get over his addictions, I wanted him to get well, I wanted a real family with a house and kids and all I’ve got now is around £40.000,00 debts (loans, credit cards, catalogues, unpaid bills etc,…) and my kids who are my life.

I am 40 years old and it would probably take me a very long time to clear all of this before I can even try to save for a mortgage and by the time I finish paying off this debts and save some money for a mortgage I will probably run out of time this is why I need this start for life. It is not for me but for my children’s future!

I know this may be sounding just like buying a lottery ticket, if I win I win if not not and that’s it, but I really hope is not.

I am urging you if you can spare any money at all please send to paypal.me/vprlj3032 I am desperate for real!

Hello,

My name is Katie.   I’m praying for a miracle and for much appreciated donations from kind hearten, understanding individuals such as yourselves.   My family has endured some of the most challenging , painful,  most traumatic situations over the past 2 years that has caused major setbacks such as shelter, income , and transportation. In 2015  only 2 weeks before Christmas the love of my life & father of my 4 beautiful children decided to end his own life leaving me all alone in this world with our babies.  I struggled to find within myself the strength to be the mother my children desperately needed during this time when I thought my whole world was gone. I was able to find us a home and employment and thought I was doing okay until I shortly realized that trying to take on all the roles of both parents and all the things it took to run a household wad just to much for me and I’ve been dealing with the feeling of failure when I would love nothing more than to give my babies the world.   If you could find it in your heart to give towards my family and I a new beginning it would mean so much and we’d be forever grateful to you all.  God bless you for taking your precious time to listen!

To whom it may concern,

I am a single mother on social assistance with no vehicle. I spend my days looking after my 7 year old High Functioning Autistic son. So, about my son, since he is the reason behind this request: his name is Christopher. He’s very friendly and silly. I can’t imagine my world without him. He loves to jump and play and laugh. He doesn’t eat well with the medication he is currently taking for his ADHD. I recently purchased a small trampoline with some birthday money he received and he loves it. He’s just a carefree happy boy who has his challenges with following rules and listening, and also concentrating. He gets very frustrated and upset easily and most times all I can do to help him is hold him and hear him cry. He has come a long way this year, but he still has huge hurdles to overcome in his life. He also has separation anxiety, sensory processing disorder, and I feel he has phobias that prevent him from doing things he likes to do. He’ll befriend anyone and sometimes this is his downfall. He also constantly has the need to always be moving, so sensory gym outing and the autism room with music are necessary outings, which costs me taxi fare. So, on to the request I am making…. My check does not cover the cost of cab fares, bills, groceries, and other necessities for two weeks. My family allowance goes to his education fund, his snacks and food, also taxi fares, and items he needs that are not edible. I still cannot manage to get enough to cover everything. So I am requesting help in a sense of taking care of my son. I fear that he is not eating enough, despite my efforts, and someone is going to take it the wrong way, cause trouble, and I may lose him. Loving people have lost their children for a lot less around my way. Even though I know I am not neglecting him, some people just live for creating drama where drama should not and does not exist. I am sorry this was not exactly 400 words and I hope this gets accepted anyway, I am grateful. Thank you.

I am a recently single mother of a 21 month old child.  I had a job for 10 years same company (contractor-no benefits). I worked up until 1 hour before my baby was even born. Company decided they would shut down.  Gave us 1 weeks notice. With a 3 month old child and a husband from another country i tried to move and start again.

Since i don’t have very good education it is hard to land a good job. I am only good at warehouse type positions and inventory control.

I managed to find work here after a few months while my husband stayed home and looked after our baby. He couldn’t handle it and left.  He had good reason i guess. His mother was also sick and he is a big family man.

I managed to get help from my oldest son for a short period of time. Trying to hold onto my current job.  One month after my husband leaves  i loose my job again. He can no longer help me to secure another job as he has his own new baby to care for now.

I currently get $900 for living.  I am 2 car payments behind. Living on overdraft. I have a daycare set up to go looking for more work but i am not able to pay for it all.  Until i get work i am going to be short $250 a month.  Basic living is pretty expensive alone never mind any extras.

I have only my mother for family and she is old and restricted to her retirement savings. Not able to help me.

I need a little help to get me back on my feet so i can find another job quickly.

I consider myself very independent and far from lazy.  I have always managed to care for my family.  This time is a little different. I know i can do it again. Just hit a rough time.

If you can even help a little anything would be truly appreciated.

Thank you

First off thank you for being on this site. And hearing me out.

I am a single, hardworking mother. I’ve had my share of struggles. Money always seems to be my number one enemy. I pay my rent, my phone, my sitter. I get paid bi-weekly and after my bills I’m barely left with enough money for food and gas

But I get by as best I can. sometimes we eat at family’s every day because we have no food. Some nights she cries and says she wishes she loved with Grandma because we have no food. She tells me she wishes my cousins were her mom because their kids are always doing something fun. I can never afford to let her go, or do anything with her for that matter. I take her to parks, do crafts. But sometimes she still makes me feel bad bc i can’t provide like them.

The reason I’m asking for help is bc i have no one else to ask. I get one more paycheck before school starts on August 10th. And I will probably have 60 dollars to last me two weeks.

I need to get my daughter school clothes and supplies. I promised her gymnastics this year, and not looking hopeful.

I’m begging, crying for help. My credit is horrible because of poor Financial decisions when I was younger. I’m over 40k in debt from school loans and a mess up on my taxes two years ago. so credit has never been an option for me. I would die for that luxury.

I’d be forever grateful. i help people whenever I can. Looking for a generous soul to help me. I will pay it forward when the universe lets me.

Thank you again for reading. God bless you.

I am a 21 year old, single mother to a 14 month old son.

At the moment I have no money due to my car loan and basic living costs. Now I know that’s own fault but I was rushing to have a car for when my son was born and honestly his best interests were in mind when purchasing my car.

I haven’t had a big disaster happen to me, I don’t have a sob story, I’m just really struggling at the moment. I have tried so very hard to find a job or a way to make money but I am not succeeding and am feeling like I’m failing my son.

Without my car loan I would have an extra 440$ a month which may not sound like much to you but it would be the world of help to me.

After rent, food, phone and car bills I am left with $26 for the whole month!

I am not a greedy person. I do not want $100,000. All I’m asking is for anything you can afford, whether it be $50 or $5 .

i have $8000 left on my car loan but obviously I’m not going to ask for that much because it’s a lot of money.

Im just a single mother trying to get my life on track so my son has a better upbringing then I did.. if you can spare even a dollar I am begging you please help me.. I am very thankful for any donations I get, god bless you all ❤️

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Thank you for reading my story.

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

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

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

Hello,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Again, thank you so much for your time,

-Danielle

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

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

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

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

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

with great sincerity,

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

Thank you!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Now we are separated cant afford a lawyer to deal with everything and have no clue how to do it on my own legal wise I have come to seek help to get out of all the debt, pay my current bills and support myself and my daughters life as much as I can.

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

Thank you for your time

Hello,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

with $1000.00 interest.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Thank You for taking the time to read this.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
