Hey There!🌷 I’m not even sure where to begin. I am a single mother of three children, and I always have worked hard to provide for them. This is super hard for me, since I am not one who likes to ask anyone for anything. At the same time you have to ask in order to receive.

I am in need and I feel like my life has entered a never ending circle of failure. Every time I try to move forward, it seems things and circumstances push me back. I’m not one to give up though.

Here’s a little bit about my situation. I am in debt for about $40,000.  Most of this comes from medical bills, a school loan, plus a car note. I currently do not have health coverage so I’m sure the medical bills are going to keep racking up.

I work as a certified nursing assistant.  However, this doesn’t  always make ends meet. Having to work a lot at times in order to keep providing for my family, I find myself not being able to spend as much time with my children as I would like to and need to. It saddens me and hurts me to hear them say that they want to spend more time with me and that I work too much. Missed time with your children is something you can’t get back, and they are growing up so fast. My oldest is 10 years old already.

I am also in the process of creating a course in order to help people who have been adopted. I was adopted from the foster system as a child, and I know that there is a tremendous amount of emotional pain and hurt stemming from it. I believe that there are many other people who have been adopted and have experienced the same thing that I have, and I wish to help them. This is why I have decided to try to design a course to be able to help and connect with them.

Well, my biggest issue is I have to work so much as a certified nursing assistant along with my mom life that I am not able to put the time into my course. I had to put the course on hold. My goal is to be able to finish organizing the course and help people.

I am  also looking to relocate, but it’s super hard to get a place of my own due to my debts. I want to be able to start all over and have a nice life for my children and myself.  So here I am asking for some help to move forward in life and get out of this rut that I seem to be in.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read my section. If you do decide that I am someone you would like to help, I must thank You in advance. I appreciate any donation. God Bless! Xoxo💗🌷✨ PayPal.me/islandgirlkee

I recently became a single mother to my two beautiful children. I had a bartending job I worked at every day and night until I had to take a leave of absence due to childcare. We(The kids and I) are working on making a fresh start for ourselves and need a little help making it to that point. I have put in application after application and my savings account is running lower than what I would like for having Bills and two kids to support and not hearing back from any of the jobs yet. Every little bit helps. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. I swear when I had the funds I gave to every homeless person I saw, I also gave leftover food I cooked to the ones close to my house, I’ve allowed my shower to be used to get them ready for a job interview, and have giving the clothes I’ve been wearing to someone who needed them more. I am not usually one to ask for help so please don’t judge to harshly. I WILL be back in a good spot soon. ❤❤❤❤

I’m a single mom who is rebuilding in many ways after a literal and figurative perfect storm. After Hurricane Florence and returning from evacuation, my coastal apartment was thankfully undamaged.

However, I was in the midst of whirlwind of a job hunt and was hopeful to find once life after the disaster settled into a normal routine. I’ve applied and interviewed extensively for over seven months and have beyond exhausted my (small) savings providing for my son and myself. I didn’t realize that many jobs available in my area pay less than ten dollars an hour (and bringing home less than $300 per week would cover rent and some food). With my savings, I didn’t qualify for assistance programs. Having two bachelor’s degrees, I don’t fit into ‘job training/seeking’ programs. I I’m in the middle of the middle class and now more like in the center of an ironic, economic tornado. My difficulty is locating help for someone that hasn’t hit complete rock bottom, but the information I’m reading from various organzations says, ‘Contact us when you’re homeless, starving, and had you’re vehicle repossessed’.

I’ve been selected for an online teaching positon, which pays monthly, and am now awaiting a background check, which means about six more weeks with no money. I’m owed 7K in child support, which the state can’t seem to collect, though I’ve had to go to court for visitation.

Having to write this is quite humiliating, but rather than give up all hope, I’m praying for a random act of kindness. One which will hopefully spawn a series of events, propelling my life back on track. As I’m hanging on my a thread, I’m hoping my son and I can be spared having to be evicted and rebuild everything from a shelter. I have rent due in three days, my car insurance has lapsed, the utility bills and car payment are way over due.

I’d be eternally grateful for any donation that would turn a potentially devasting situation- homelessness- into one of hope and a renewed sense of humanity. Paypal: paypal.me/lilyflower946

Currently, I need help paying my rent and dental work, my daughter needs new shoes, and I need new tires and service on my car. I was doing Lyft, Uber, and Postmates, but my tires are so worn down, I am afraid to keep driving and loose one before I am able to replace them. I have plans to get new ones when I get my return, but they are so bad, I cannot drive in bad weather conditions. The slightest bit of wetness on the road makes my car loose control.

Earning some sponsorship would give my heart something to appreciate and help my mind to be at ease while I’m in school. I am looking forward to earning my associates degree Summer 2019 in Mass Communications and Journalism with a field study for public relations and advertising. It’s hard trying to go to school, work and be a full time single mother with no help, and with ANY type of help, I know it will benefit on my journey to becoming a better independent woman. I don’t ask anyone for anything because my pride holds me back, but right now, my back is against the wall with no way out. I have filed my taxes, but with the shutdown, I don’t even know when to expect my refund. Having some type of sponsorship will save me from giving up and loosing our home.

I am a 30 y/o single mother of a beautiful 4 y/o daughter, full-time student, and I suffer from depression, anxiety, and paranoia. Every time I get a job, I start off so great and then my mental issues kick in. I feel like the world is against me when really, I am fighting myself and I have lost relationships, friends, family bonds, and jobs because I allow my mind to take over and quit or get mad or so sad that I feel like I’m not supposed to be here anymore. The only thing that keeps me alive right now is my daughter, but I have got to find a solution to my mental state of mind. I don’t do drugs, I don’t drink, and I am somewhat of a loner because I isolate myself for fear of judgment and failure. I live in a one bedroom apartment with my daughter and I cry a lot because I don’t know how I’m going to push through and take care of my financial responsibilities. Right now, I am waiting to start a new job, but unfortunately my bills have stacked to the point, I am about to get evicted, I fight with a severe toothache at night, and my car is literally jerking while driving because of the overdue service that is needed to keep it running properly. I am struggling to keep life floating, but I don’t loose hope. I just wish I had a good push forward to uplift me and level out my financial situation so that I can focus on staying on track and being a good example for my daughter to be led by. I don’t want to continue stressing over finances while I’m trying to get life right for us. I’m not looking for any handouts, but I am appreciative for any type of information on useful resources, financial assistance towards living expenses and college expenses other than loans (40k in debt already), and affordable insurance.

I hope my humble heart is heard and received and whatever is done for me, I will take and share with others. Thank you for taking time out to read my situation and I hope to make a new friend. Please feel free to get to know a little more about me through my personal blog website I created as an outlet to free my mind and express myself. www.beautifullillies.com.

I have attached a picture of my current balance for my rent from my community resident profile, and a photo from the dentist office of $8k of work needed to done for my mouth to be back healthy again. At this point in my life, I have no shame in asking for help. I do the best I can alone, and though it’s not enough, I refuse to give up.

Hi my name is lexy I’m 20 years old and I have a 6 year old named Kyle. I’m here today because I have absolutely no where else to turn. I live in a very small town where it’s hard to find a job due to the amount of people that live here. There’s very limited jobs and you basically just have to know the right people which, being sheltered growing up, I do not know these people. Luckily I met someone who’s family owns a little house 7 miles away in the next town over, they are letting me stay here for the time being but i do have to pay the bills myself. This town only has one gas station which means work is even more limited out here. I’m now stuck with a 350 dollar  deposit for PG&e plus the first months bill. My only obstacle is I have no means of transportation. If I could get a car I know I’d be able to have a job cause I have the motivation to go out and do what I need to I just don’t have the help or resources to do so. I’m going to be starting school as soon as possible but also due to the car situation I have to do online classes but having no wifi makes that almost impossible. I’ve begged my family time after time for just a little nudge but Everytime just seems to drive the wedge deeper in between us.  I’ve tried everything to my knowledge but nothing seems to ever work out. So I’m here today to ask if anyone would be able to help me. My son deserves the world and I wanna be the one that gives it to him but so far I feel like Ive failed him I’m completely hopeless and I don’t know what else to do. If anyone could help I would forever be grateful and I would pay you back as soon as I could. I just wanna do right for my son but I can’t do that until I get out of this hole.

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to read this message. Bless you all! My name is jo I am a single mother of a wonderful five year old girl. She is my WORLD. It kills me recently to look at her and realize that no matter how hard i have worked, I have fallen behind, which is what brings me here…

background real quick… her father and I were engaged. Five years ago we had this beautiful, life changing creature enter our lives. Then he and I fell apart. Nothing terrible, at first. But the less control over me he had the more angry he becane. The more belittling, condescending, aggressive he became. Slowly it was revealed to me that all the time together what I had Believed was love was a man controlling and emotionally abusing me. He controlled every aspect of our lives together.we eventually parted ways but not before he destroyed me financially, professionally, and personally to my friends and colleagues. I marched on, determined to finish school and start doing hair. Being an assistant it’s always been a little tough not making a ton of money but sometimes working two jobs when necessary and when I could. Two years it seemed to be evening out. Then tragedy. My house was burglarized not once but twice within one week during hurricane Irma. And whoever did it was VIOLENTLY MALICIOUS. I took my daughter my cat and two dogs in the car and fled to stay with family during the hurricane. I’ll never forget the video my roommate sent me. My house was completely ransacked and destroyed…. my clothes, my daughters clothes, our possessions, simply trashed and thrown about. Broken glass, broken mirrors, broken windows. All of my hair tools were stolen…. my acoustic guitar, amp, microphone…. the little I had attained ripped away. My bicycle…. gone. It’s been difficult recuperating from that. Shortly after I was blessed to find a place to live however it was 50 miles outside the radius of area my daughter was deemed “established” by the courts and I lost Her down to two days a week. DEVASTATED. Still mustered on, hot blooded ready to overcome any obstacle…. about 6 months later find a dream job, have an apt with my best friend, had my daughter again half the week…. things were seeming to turn around….. I get a call… my mother suddenly and unexpectedly had a brain hemorrhage and was in a coma. I flew To Philadelphia (my hometown) and as a family, my sisters and I decided that she did not want to live that way, a vegetable. My mother, struggled her entire life, did everything she possibly could. Gone in a heartbeat. She was my person. She was my world besides my daughter. We didn’t have the prettiest relationship, but inside she knew and I knew we were EXTREMELY close. During that time my “best friend” which she turned out not to be, stole money from me. (She had began seeing an ex of hers and when that started our friendship was no more.) when i first met her, she had mentioned a drug problem but that she was ok now and that it was when she was young…. I believed Her. she was my closest friend.  When I got Back from philly, I noticed clothes, money missing. Mind you, I didn’t have much to take to begin with! I missed a week of work when my mom passed lost a weeks worth of pay, it was absolute mayhem. I ended Up moving out overnight. So stressful. I barely had time to mourn. A few months go by and I lose my “dream” job which turned out to be a nightmare and was taken advantage of…. at this point in my life, I have reached a point of devastation that I cant Seem to overcome. Any other issue, any other struggle, that’s life…. I got Through it, knowing my mom was there. Losing her has created a massive hole and massive pain in my heart that I cannot repair. I went Through a severe bout of depression recently.  When normally i would immediately find a job, I couldn’t peel myself off the couch (except to take care of my daughter& clean) but as soon as she would go to bed, I cry myself to sleep. I have managed to get a job that begins May 4th. I also Have a job interview Monday…. I am Getting back together again but the time I haven’t worked I was unable to make money for bills this month. I do some deliveries for postmates, but that pretty much covers gas. Please, there were many more parts of my life the last few years I spared you from having to read, but I have no problem talking about them. I am NOT a victim, i know this and I do not intend to sound that way. I am just a scared woman alone in a world that has literally tried to destroy. My life hasn’t been the easiest but I have also made foolish choices out of fear and loneliness as well. We all have a story to tell. I help whomever and Whenever I can, and so it is with an apprehensive heart I ask for some help, any amount of help, in order to keep my apartment, providing a safe place for my child myself and my animals. I hope I didn’t ramble too much I tried to get to the point. Please, we all reach moments in our lives where we may need a little help, if this is your chance please take it. I promise you to pay it forward.  Xoxo much love xoxo

I am so tired.   I have been working hard for four years to raise my 3 children as a single mom. I have experienced the after-effects of an abusive relationship, PTSD, depression, hopelessness…  I have fought with everything I had to get away from that and to be there the best way I could be, for my kids. Last year, after the worst depression of my life, everything really began coming together. I had taken on several new clients and was beginning to thrive with work and projects. I was getting so excited about the options in our future. My dreams of traveling the world as a family seemed, finally, within reach…

Instead, this year, everything has flip-flopped. I had managed to stay afloat for the first couple of months after 3/4 of my projects ended, thanks to monthly child support payments filling in the gaps. But in mid-March, my child support arrangement through the court system ended. My children’s father agreed to pay me directly, about half of the original amount determined by the court. Now, a month in…  he says he doesn’t have the money to give to me… he just paid $100 today, when I told him I didn’t have enough money for gas or Easter baskets. He was originally ordered to pay $1500/mo. And now, he just gave me a mere $100.

Meanwhile, my electric is nearly $500, almost two months behind, I couldn’t pay my rent April 1, which is just $300 (plus late fees), water is $180, phone is due today, $90, so it’ll probably be shut off tomorrow…  Not to mention, gas, Easter baskets on Sunday, end of school stuff in May, I’d planned to celebrate the boys July birthday’s in May, before they leave for their dads.

I’ve been applying for jobs, picking up side gigs, doing all kinds of cash back apps, to try to keep my head above water.  I.am.so.tired.of.it.all.   It is breaking my heart for my kids. This isn’t the life I planned for them. And when I struggle like this, I literally get stuck, frozen, paralyzed, drained… Little gets accomplished, the house goes to crap, I fall back into a depression. It’s so frustrating.

I know. I will be OK, we will be OK, eventually. God always comes through, provides a way somehow. There are people who need assistance far more than me; I know this. And I’m grateful that I’m not “there,” and I pray for those who are in an even worse predicament, that they get the help and assistance they need, as well. I hope though, that my request falls on the heart of the right person or people, who are willing to help a single mom trying to get back up on solid ground again.

If you can help at all, I would GREATLY appreciate any assistance. You can send it to:  paypal.me/topayerin

THANK YOU

Im a single mother of two young boys, a three year old and a 3 month old. I am 25 and I currently work in a nursing home, nursing agency and starting back school for my last semester in may. It has been very hard finding a reliable baby sitter / nanny for my children simply because it’s expensive. A lot of people Ive encountered tried to take advantage of the fact that I desperately need a sitter. The hours I work and my pay rate does not allow me to pay my bills in a timely manner, put food on table and then also put them in a decent trustworthy daycare. Im also very paranoid about you who I allow to watch my children, hearing all the different horror stories about bad people hurting kids. My aunt was supposed to help out with watching them but she quickly changes her mind whenever at last minute then that causes for me to either have to call out of work or pay a whole paycheck worth for one day. For the past two months almost since back to work, Ive been losing a lot out on shifts and its almost like working JUST to pay for a nanny. I cannot afford that right now. I know in order for me to get my boys good quality care, I have to pay the price. Usually for both boys thats runs between $250 – $300 a week. I want to be able to freely work , finish school so that I can give my boys the best life they deserve. The best education, teachers and have them into all kinds of extracurricular activities. As far as their father being involve, he currently does not work and waiting around on the government to intervene will be too long of a wait. My children’s father and I do not live together, are not together and he lives far. Asking him to just watch them while I work has been like pulling teeth, Im either being ignored or getting an excuse after an excuse. I feel like those around me expect me to make a miracle happen when it comes down to this situation. Im not looking to hang out, party pr any of that stuff. I just want to work but I know I cannot do it alone or sadly depend on my “family” Im not looking for a sob story or even playing a victim. Im just praying/hoping some people are understanding and feel moved to bless us. Im very appreciative and thankful to all who has taken their time to read and or donate. God bless you.

I am a 36 year old mother of 3, I do not receive child support, and 2 of my children have absent fathers.  I have struggled my whole life, and I hit a financial crisis, and I do not know how to fix it this time.  My youngest is 12 and he is a special needs child.  He is epileptic and started with 20 seizures or more a day and its decreased dramatically.  He is developmentally behind and I have to take him to his specialist frequent times a year, and my vehicle has finally given out on me.  I have never owned a nice vehicle because I cannot afford payments.  I NEED SO BAD to get a vehicle that will get up 2-3 hours to his specialist and back throughout the year, and the air conditioning and heat work.  When he gets over heated, too cold, too scared, too upset he has a seizure.  Needing a vehicle is a BIG blessing I need.  My 14 year old daughter has braces and I have been struggling to pay the monthly payments, and the orthodontist said her teeth are setting very quick and he told me I need to get her balance paid off ASAP so she can get them off and I still over around $2,900.  It started out a little over $5k.  My oldest is a senior in high school and graduating this year, and he got accepted to some major universities but I cannot afford to send him, and I work constantly to provide and I want my children to succeed and be way better than I was or am.  My income pays for all my main bills and necessities, but I cannot afford those things I described.  The government even cut my food stamps because they said $11 an hour is too much income even though my bills outweigh my income.  But I ALWAYS make sure I have food in the house and I do not eat my groceries anymore, I have lost over 30 pounds due to it, but as a woman losing weight is great for me.  Me and my kids pray daily, help others when we can, and are a member of a great church.  If anyone can find it in their hearts to help us out with any of these we will be forever grateful!!! God bless!

Hi there,

I’m a hardworking 28 year old single mom trying to start a new life. Things haven’t really been easy raising a child on my own but I’m not complaining. I believe that my day is coming. I currently live in New York City and with rent prices rising it’s becoming difficult to manage here. So I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s time to move to Florida. I was raised in Tampa, FL and I always enjoyed it there way more than NYC, I hope to share that experience with my daughter. I’m heading to Orlando on May 2nd to explore and find a place to settle down. I’m writing here to raise money for the moving expenses and to also put down a few months rent in advance. I hope to raise $10,000. Most look at me and say “no one is going to help you just because you ask” but I believe very strongly in the law of attraction. Anything is possible and I know things will work out. I already found a job in Florida, I just need the funds to move. Please find it in your heart to donate, thank you.

Humbling Experience

Hi my name is Erica, I am 35 a single mother of one, an Awesome 13 yr old son my whole world evolves around . I’ve always been the independent type, I had to grow up fast as a child to provide for myself. So maintaining a job and good wage was one of my strong suits until the universe showed me she had other plans & lessons in stored for me ….whew 2018 ….

I worked for the va hospital for 6 yrs as a nursing assistant but I  furthered my position with certifications over the time of my employment . But I ended up injuring my rotator cuff positioning a patient. I assumed I had the company support,but I learned that I was just another body that could be replaced. Totally heart broken and in disbelief of what just happened.

I tried my best to to bounce back but everything was goin by the domino effect in my life , I lost my job, I lost my house, I lost my car & the saddest part I had to give up my dog . One thing after another …. being that I felt defeated , depressed & complacent, a friend offered me a room at her house . But taking on the offer represented a big change ( relocation to another state) But I wasn’t in the position to turn down. Since the transition finding a job has been very competitive and hard to obtain I haven’t had any luck. The pressure is starting to build as well as my anxiety…  My son is living with a family member until the end of school yr which is coming soon (2mos) Being that I’m having complications finding a job I’m in fight or flight mode. There is nothing I want more than to provide my son the best life(security & stability)  I’m all he has and vice versa . I need help

I need to get a place for me and my son , I need financial assistance with getting a place  if there is anyone who can help me out during this time of need you are greatly appreciated and my guardian angel . ….

thank you so much for listening

Love Erica

I have had to have spine surgery(lamenectomy and miceodectomy) to replace 4 busted discs in my back. I have always worked and had to quit my job for this, because recovery would be at least 3 months. With me being a manager it was not possible to take a leave of absence that long. I have dealt with the severe sciatic pain and back pain for longer than anyone should. I have put this surgery off for 4 years. After busting out another disc i wound up in the er in january because of the pain only to find that i had herniated another disc and was facing possible nerve damage of it was not fixed. My plan was to use my tax refund to pay for the surgery as well as my bills and living expenses while i recovered. My tax advisor through h and r block sent in an incomplete tax form whenever i filed on feb 9th. Which messed up everything. Since the end of Feb I have had a hard time getting by. I am a mother of an 8 year old. And take no government assistance. I had to reschedule my surgery two times already while waiting on my refund. My brother is the only family i have and paid for part of my surgery from his refund so i could get my surgery and start to recover, but cannot help much more because of his own finances. I finally had my surgery on March 25th. I still have not received my tax refund and can’t go back to work until I am cleared. The irs says it could be at least another month because h and r block sent my missing documents and information to the wrong part of the irs building. I have been trying to make it but can’t even get a loan without having a job. I am drowning and can’t come up for air. I can’t even focus on recovering like I should be. All my bills are behind. My car will be repoed next week if I don’t have the money to pay my bill. I could be evicted this month. My credit has taken a giant hit because of my late payments. I am very prideful and have always paid my own way, But I need help. I am terrified that my daughter and I will be on the streets and everything I have worked so hard for to be taken away, all over a mistake that could have been avoided by my tax professionals. Honestly even if someone granted me a loan until my money comes in. Anything will help me at this point. I have tried everything that I can. But I can barely walk right now, And I’m ready for this nightmare to be over. If i could just pay my car payment that is 900 dollars past due and due on the 18th, and buy some groceries i think i can ride it out until my check arrives. If anyone can help me at all

Good Morning,

I’m a divorced mom to a 21 yr old son, 11 year old twins and 7 yr old daughters.

I’m writing as I’ve expired all my resources for guidance and financial help.

A little about my past, I ended up marrying and having children with a male who has physically abused myself and one of my daughter once, including years of emotional abuse. I was also sexually abused by my ex husband. I found it in me to seek counseling and walk out of this toxic marriage. Thankfully at just 7 years old one of my daughters was my very first voice of reason. 50,000$ later in debt, 70/80 hour work week, my children and I survived divorce with a court ordered supervised visitations for dad to see his children. In my neglect of contacting the police of prior incidents, this was a great foundation to start.

Thankfully, I found the strength to pull everything I could to pay off all my debts. Divorced, debt free … new beginning. It felt amazing.

As time went along, working crazy hours, my children were hurting, I was hurting.

My children and I have PTSD and generalized anxiety.

I had to make a decision to put my children and myself first, emotionally, mentally, physically. With this decision, my children have been able to begin to heal. After all, being a mom stuck behind a computer working 70/80 hrs a week, paycheck to paycheck, doing all I could to be everything and give everything my children needed, I learned I couldn’t juggle it all alone. It made me physically ill.

My children have benefited greatly from having me walk from my job. So much so, my daughters are okay with us being homeless if it means they get to keep the mom I am today. She expressed to me with a huge tight hug how much she now knows I love all my children. It’s a hard hit to learn after 21 years, my hustle to provide took much away from what my children were needing. They don’t have the emotional part from their dad and I certainly wasn’t able to provide that working crazy hours to just keep the lights on and put food in the fridge.

Currently, I’m unable to pay my rent. 6 months out of work has put me in a little over 16K in debt. I do get child support 24,000$ a year. It’s impossible, especially in Massachusetts to survive off this income. I’ve been on the section 8 list for three years. I’m still waiting for help. Also, the amount of affordable housing in this area is limited. My help is limited because I do get child support.

I have gotten much emotional support from my family, friends and my children’s pediatrician that despite the financial difficulties, I made the right choice for my family. I still ween back and forth on that decision as I’m unable to provide and keep a roof over our head. Shelters have limited availability and are mainly open for woman and children who have just left an abusive household.

Counseling in this area is also very limited. Either they don’t take our insurance or we are put on a long wait list. With learning this, knowing I love to sit and talk life into people, I’m looking into a career change. Passions are growing but my purpose right now is to focus on my family. I will sacrifice anything I can, to give my family someone they can lean on. Unfortunately yet fortunately, I learned I can’t have it all or do it all at once.

There’s so much we want but so much more we need. Food, shelter, oil, electric, car, gas.

I’m not someone who reaches out for help. I’m the helper. I’m the one who would give my last dollar to someone in need. It hurts my pride to just reach out and ask for help.

More than anything I thank you for taking the time to read this.

First of all, thank you for taking the time to open my post. This is something completely out of my character, but also completely necessary. I am a 29 year old single-mother. I have found the perfect apartment for my son an I but due to unforeseen moving expenses at $1000+ (miscommunicated down-payments, deposits, rentals, items to make the apartment live-able (bed, food, dishes)), I am now in need of assistance with my rent ($1,300) and to catch up on my car payment ($1,200). I am hoping to relieve a total for $2500 to help cover all of the expenses. This is my first apartment, the first place that my son and I will share outside of living with family. This whole situation has me feeling like a failure.
I am in the process of getting a divorce from a habitual adulterer who has joined the military. So this is also my first independent act since being married in 2011. I have tried for the last week to secure a loan but because of his military status, I am unable to get a to get one since we are not legally divorced. I am very fortunate to have a loving and caring family, but I know that they are not able to assist financially. Otherwise I would reach out to them. I have fallen in love with this apartment and so has my son. Living here keeps me from driving 1.5hrs to work each day. I have a full time job as a 2nd grade teacher. I love what I do, but it does not pay much. This apartment is something that I can afford, but having to start over with a 4 year old definitely impacted my budget. I just need something to help us get on our feet and begin our new lives. Out of the toxicity of the marriage and on our own for the first time in both of our lives.
Please help. I’m desperate. I’m praying for a lottery win (as unrealistic as that may be), but a personal benefactor will feel just the same. God bless anyone who takes the time to read this and assist in anyway they can. I vow that when I am on my feet I will come back to this website and bless as many people as I can. Getting this money would literally be a God send. I would be able to keep the roof over my child’s head, keep our automobile in our possession, and make our house a home.

Salutations! My name is Heather and I am in need of help to pay my rent that is due Monday. Almost 7 years ago I wrecked my brain when I was feeling this desperate, alone, and scared; still healing from that much needed wake up call. I did what a lot of us do and drowned myself in alcohol and worries instead of handling things and keeping my life and myself under control. I went over the top of the stairs going to the apartment above the bar I used to own fracturing my skull, severely injuring my brain. I did not receive medical rehabilitation, I was left in silence with a television ( one of the worst things for your mind); my personal proof positive to question everything a doctor tells me and not allow them to dictate my care. That is okay though because nature healed me and answered the truths that doctors can not, experience and true knowledge comes from actual experience. I wrote a book that didn’t sell yet gave me what I needed, something to focus my passion on and the love from my sons who didn’t give up on me. I did it for a while. For a while I did it well, happily being able to share my home with kids that needed a safe place to just be kids and not have to take care of their over medicated, self indulgent parents. Then I lost my reliable vehicle and have paid more in tow expenses that I could afford. I have only 1 client left that I can walk to; I happily clean their house; they are my only elders that look out for me. The stress of not being able to take care of my 16 year old son is putting a toll on my mind and I am starting to have more mini strokes and occasionally I stop breathing. I just erased the calendar that I was keeping track of them on because it doesn’t matter and my energy need not be wasted. Please don’t let that scare you, it does not me. I overcame this before with Nature’s healing touch and determination. Taking care of my son here in his community is my priority and I need just a little help for a little while. I never tried for disability because taking care of myself is my responsibility and I am doing my best; its just good enough yet. I am learning how to make money online, from home while healing my mind; that takes time. Please, any help would much appreciated, shared, and always paid forward. Thank you for reading this and allowing me to share my woes with people who really do care, like I do. Apologies if this is not well written; asking for help is not something I do well or comfortably. I am a giver, a doer, a lover of life; until I can no longer.

This is my first time on site. Im a single mother needing help with rent april and may/reliable vehicle. I moved to Texas from Wisconsin 4 years ago for healthcare opportunities. Our building has been permanently closed after the Harvey flood so things been downhill from there. During that time my 14 yo daughter went through a traumatic incident causing depression/repeated suicide attempts and hospitalizations. Twice within 2 month period. I found a new job paying high wages but had to drop full time status to prn status due to her situation i will not post it in detail here. Had a vehicle put work into the vehicle 3 times. I was paying car note on this vehicle for 5 months before having to have them pick it up from garage leaving me with no transportation. I went from perfect attendance to repeated call ins so i had to drop completely down to prn so i wouldn’t lose job completely. Ive been struggling really bad last few months since all my funds are depleted. Ive applied for temp emergency assistance but i work so dont qualify because im work ready. Its unreal that when people really seek help they turn you down. Been calling churches, 211 help line but no emergency funds available for help for few months? Yet people bleeding the.system gets the help. I dont understand that. Im not asking for amyrhing for free but if u in Houston/Stafford/sugarland/Missouri citu area i will work for a reliable car and rent for just two months. Ive been offered jobs in my field but car is needed for the positions. I even went as far as to apply as a lyft driver because they have a program in which u can rent a vehicle to driver and use fir personal use. Passed background checks etc but cars are first come first served. Im checking site daily no vehicles available in the program been waiting few months. Now im at a point in which i really just need one person that can help. Im not looking for multiple handouts at all. I see alot of folks asking for money but im willing to do something. Im an independent person so it took alot for me even to post on this site. Please if the creator touches your heart reach out to me and get to know me. Im a real person and in real need. My landlord charges 50.00 initial late fee after 5th then 20.00 late fee per day so i need help seriously. Ive been catching a lyft back and forth when i wrk and its getting too much. The more im wrking seems like i cant get ahead now. I have a 21 yo daughter at st thomas university on a partial scholarship and cant even send her care packages or help her right now.  You will not regret helping this writer. Im real and am a good person please reach out to me. I have documentation of every thing i posted today. Thanks for taking the time to read my request. I pray everyone that’s sincere on here gets the help they need though. My cash app is $trinac911

My name is Miranda and I am 28. I recently just got divorced after being married for 9 years. I am on this site to ask help for paying off a loan I had to to out to pay for my daughters psychiatrist and therapist appointments. Before my divorce I had a good paying job working in treatment for Addiction and mental health. I was finally able to get my kids a house with a backyard and into an amazing school. I was lucky to not have to pay for child care because my bestfriend moved in and lived with me for free in exchange to being the nanny. I worked my ass off to fulfill the dreams we had working 12-18 hour shifts sometimes pulling 3 8hr shifts in 24 hours. In between that I was taking too time off or had to leave work due to some behavioral issues my 10 year old was having at school. When we finally moved to our new house I had found out that my bestfriend relapsed and was doing heroin while watching my kids. So I had to remove that person and take time off work to find a new babysitter. Luckily I found one and returned to work. The amazing thing that I see now, is that when you can finally put your kids in a top school, well top for a public school, they really catch on to things. My 10 year old was diagnosed with ADHD at the end of kindergarten and had always been getting into trouble. But now signs had been coming out that it could be a lot more than just that. I had to quit my job due to having to leave too much and now living an hour away. I was sure everything would be fine until the school psychiatrist started talking about ODD ( A disorder in a child marked by defiant and disobedient behavior to authority figures.) And Conduct Disorder (a range of antisocial / sociopath types of behavior displayed in childhood). During this my 7 year old had told the school that we have no food and now CPS was at our door. Turns out my son was just super picky. My daughters behavioral issues just kept getting worse but the school therapist wasn’t experienced enough in child behavioral disorders so I have had to take her out to town psychiatrist trained to help. Since I am not working and the Bill’s have piled more and more I took out a $10,000 loan and now cant even make payments on that without being late on car payments or the gas bill/water bill. I called CPS back, and asked them to keep my case open so that I can try to get as much help as I can but free therapy means not educated enough for what my daughter needs. Once we get the right plan for her and in the right medications I can go back to work. My daughter is currently a danger to my other 2 children and I have to keep them separate most of the time. She has two no contact contracts against students and now is telling me a man speaks to her at night to hurt people. That is why I am here. I am asking for any help to put towards the loan and to continue the right path with experienced psychiatrist before CPS decides they want to remove her. This is probably the single most hardest thing I have had to ask for. Family has helped as much as they can. I definitely know that I won’t get the loan amount but anything helps at this point until I can get her started and get back to work. I appreciate your time reading this. I just want to keep my family together.

Hello all, my name is Jacey. I’m 25 years old and a single mom of 3. I recently lost my job due to the company closing. I am on the hunt for a job daily, even using temp agencies, but I’m having no luck. I never thought I’d be doing something like this, but my kids are my everything. My children’s father took all the tax money and blew it. So I received nothing. (He’s my ex husband)The fact that I have no income, no child support and can’t qualify for food stamps because I made too much. I’ve had to go through the SNAP process 3 times now, still denied, as well as TEA. I have WIC and that helps, but that is it. I have no family help, or I’d be asking. They’re all moved off or have passed. It’s literally just me. Luckily I live in a house that my grandfather owned that’s completely paid off, and I’ve gone to get bill assistance, but it’s taking too long. I have kids to feed, clothe, bills to pay, and I just need some help to start getting this process going. I am trying my very best to save every penny I have, but you never know if there will be future things that come up, then I have to use it and start all over. I’m not trying to make any of you feel sorry for me, I’m just asking for your help to get mine and my kids life back on track. I pray we get through this and make it. If you could find it in your heart to donate whatever you can, I’d be forever grateful, and I will pay it forward when I am able. I’m a firm believer in paying it forward. Thank you for reading.

I wish to resolve my financial situation responsibly.

 Currently,  48% of my income is allocated to paying  back HiGH-interest loans…keeping me in a borrowing lock, instead of saving.

Spiraling Debt From 2011 – 2017, post divorce, my expenses were higher than my income and I had lost the $30,000 I had saved during the abrupt sale of our house.

For six years, I used credit cards to ally unplanned financial needs, which arrived from child health issues, new tires, auto repair, oral surgery, appliances and the lump sum $4500 needed when I moved for 1^st month, last month and security deposit.

I fought back!  I found a way to increase my income 4-fold.

I left a low-paying Development Director position for a wonderful school and my mother helped me purchase a small massage practice in 2015. In addition to having over a decade of experience in running nonprofits, I had over a decade of experience as a massage therapist and business owner. Massage therapy pays me four times the money for working 2/3 the hours. I transformed the massage practice and it has since doubled in the past three years. It is increasing exponentially.

Unfortunately, because of high interest rates, my increased income keeps me afloat, but cannot get me ahead. I feel trapped. Instead of pouring my heart into surviving the day-to-day, it makes so much more sense to pay off/refinance, so I can FREE uP my highly developed skills in fundraising, systems management, volunteer coordination, etc… and apply my energy and creativity to helping with our increasing humanitarian needs and allocate more time to raising my teenage daughter.

How Can I Turn this Around?

With your loan in refinancing, I figured I could use 20% of my income to pay off debts, freeing up 25% to allocate for savings and releasing us from the borrowing lock.

Please Consider a Gift and/or A Low-Interest Loan:

5-Year   $75K Loan

• At 4.5% earning you $8,900  (my payments would be $1400/month)  
• Currently paying $2100/month, indefinitely, for high-interest loans…your loan saves me $700/month and gives end in site!!
•  I would put $500/month into savings – putting and END to the borrowing and…
• allocate $200/month to charities.

Thank you, for considering giving us a leg up!

Notes:

• In case something happens to me physically that would prevent me from doing my profession, I will be acquiring insurance. I also have life insurance.
• Legal loan contracts would be signed and notarized. All payments would be Auto-Pay from my bank account to your bank account.
• I have financials & references at your request.

My name is Stacy and I am a single mom to my beautiful 13 year old daughter. I have never done this before but I am desperately needing money to purchase a car to take my daughter to her doctors appointments. My daughter was diagnosed with a very rare genetic disorder called superior masentric artery syndrome which in layman’s terms means her stomach is in the wrong spot and when her masentric artery and her aortic artery push together she is not able to digest food. With this disorder she also has abdominal migraines which are very painful and cause her to vomit bile from her liver. With this disorder being so rare there isn’t a whole lot they can do to help her. She sees several doctors every month and when it really acts up she is in the hospital for several days. Doctors have tried a feeding tube in which they put a feeding tube in through her nostril and it goes all the way down to her stomach. With the feeding tube she is hooked up to a machine that delivers nutrients to her stomach. The feeding tube is usually in for at least 6 weeks at a time and it does help for a little while but when she starts having really bad episodes they put a new feeding tube in. The only other option for her is to put a feeding tube through her abdomen which is the only permanent solution because of it being so rare but with that she would not be able to participate in sports ever and she loves sports and it would be something she would have her whole life! I’m just not ready to do that to her and hope that doctors will eventually come up with other options for her. That being said I am constantly taking her to doctors appointments so that this is monitored all the time!! So I definitely need a car to make these appointments. I had a car that I thought was dependable, but one morning a couple of weeks ago I went out and started my car to warm up and went back inside. I heard a loud bang noise that came from outside so I went to the front door and opened it only to find my car fully engulfed in flames. I quickly called 911 yelled for my daughter that our car was on fire and we needed to get out of the house ASAP!! It was a very cold and windy that day which made the fire even bigger and we were still waiting for the fire fighters to show up which eventually they did and it took them a good hour to put out the fire! My car was completely totaled and had only liability insurance on it! The fire fighters never figure out what caused the fire. So I am desperately needing money to buy a car so my daughter can make it to all her doctors appointments! If anyone could help me by giving money to purchase a vehicle I would be truly grateful! My daughters health depends on it! So please help me. (I have also enclosed a photo of my car!) Thank you for taking the time to read my story!!

Hi everyone, so recently I got left…and I don’t receive child support. I am a mom of three young girls (ages 8 and under)! I am a full-time student…I am trying to get my real estate license online to get a job quicker, but I am also attending school for my bachelor’s in health administration. I currently work for 2 businesses that are run by amazing families who allow me to take my kids with me while I work!! It saves me so much being able to not find a sitter. Even with doing all of this and trying my best to do everything I can to support my little ones…I just can’t seem to stay above it all. Every time I find myself breaking even in life something happens, car breaks down, hours get cut, kids need new clothes or shoes because theirs are too small. I spend many nights crying while my girls sleep just wondering what else I can do to get by. I have exhausted all my family members of help to the point I’m losing them. I would never think to just ask people for help, but I am not sure where else to turn anymore. I’ve signed up for debt settlement assistance, I’m on the egg donor list waiting to be picked, I’ve sold everything of value I own. I have always put my children’s needs before mine, so at the end of the day they are fed, bathed and happy…most nights I’ll go to bed having barely eaten for the day because I don’t want to eat things my kids will eat and take from them. As I sit here and look at my bills pile up, I’m at a point of desperation…all I want is to get above water and feel like I can breathe again. I’m two months behind on my mortgage thanks to my new situation and I just want to catch up and get a little ahead, so I have time to prepare and get my ducks lined up again. My mortgage is $1,900 a month…my bills are all around another $1,000 a month. So, if I could find a way to get around $6,000 that would put me in a place where I am caught up…more would make me feel safe but I’m not a person to ask for more than I need. I want to stand on my own two feet and teach my daughters that their momma could do it and so can they when they are older. I’ve supplied a photo of myself but am uncomfortable doing one with my kids for safety reasons and I hope that is acceptable. I’m so uncomfortable posting this but as I sit here watching my kids play, I am just ready to be able to focus more on them and not be so stressed, I want to be a good mom. Thank you if you find it in your heart to help me, I will forever be grateful & tell my girls of the amazing person who helped us stand strong when nothing else seemed possible.

Hello! My name is Lorena Huizar I am 33 years old and I just got out of an 11 year marriage with mental and physical abuse, I am currently  going through a divorce and I have 2 children, Jocelyn 7 and Anthony 10.

My life since I married has been one long roller coaster ride. Shortly after I married my ex husband received rumors about boyfriends I had in the past and for some reason he believed them all.  Because of this he built a thick wall and I was never able to break through it no matter what I did to make our lives Happy. He had this guard up and sadly during the entire marriage he never let that guard down.  I am a woman of faith and I always had my marriage in my prayers hoping that one day that wall he had up would be torn down.

I then got pregnant with my son Anthony thinking that this would definitely do a change in his heart and finally let me in, for a while things seemed good but he would still not come to me to hug, touch, kiss or simply hold my hand. So I would attempt to show affection but I would always get rejected. I thought that by having his baby things would change and well that was not the case.  By the time my son was 3 I got pregnant with a baby girl I was very excited about having a baby girl that I focused on my son and my baby to forget about the problems I was having with their father, I didn’t ever think about leaving for many reasons.. I was/am a Christian woman and I was hopeful God would make a change in my ex husband’s life, I didn’t want to separate my kids from their father and I thought I would never make it on my own with 2 kids.

In 2015 I went to my little brothers wedding in Mexico, and all of my family noticed I was not the same happy cheerful person before I had married. By the time I got back my kids father wasn’t talking to me because he didn’t even want me to travel to visit my family and because he had heard of more rumors of me being in touch with an ex boyfriend while on my trip to Mexico. When the topic came up he was so enraged and full of jealousy that he then physically abused me, he left me bruised and the worst part was that my children saw this unfold, they heard my screams and came to find me only to find their daddy hitting their mommy with a belt :( I have never endured that kind of my pain in my entire life. For 3 months I didn’t talk to him and I didn’t leave because I felt scared. Within time I was able to forgive but we all know that something like that you could never truly forget.

A year and a half after the abuse ICE picked him up from our home and it was a moment where I felt weird without a man in the house but at the same time I felt this relief and peace in my heart.

I don’t know why God does what he does only he knows, but when I didn’t leave him when he abused me God decided to step in and take him out of the picture for good. I have been alone and on my own since June of 2017 and we ran a company together and I did what I could to keep running it.  But now i am at a point where if I don’t come up with a pretty penny I may be losing my company I worked so hard to get.

I have not spoken to my ex husband since August of 2018 till 2 days ago that I needed to mention a couple of things.

He opened up his own company and has been trying to take my employees from me, he doesn’t want to give his kids child support and lastly he has been name calling me to my 10 yr old son. I believe name calling is just truly unnecessary.

He replied with a very hateful message that I kind of wanted to doubt it was him telling me all those horrible words.  He is determined to see me fail even if that means that my kids get affected by this as well.

Yes the employee amount decreased and it has impacted me financially.  My payroll company is in the negative by at least 10-15 thousand dollars :( I am behind on my mortgage and truck payments.  I am on the brink of falling apart but I have to remember who is watching me because to this day my babies believe I am super mom, and it breaks my heart because we are barely able to get groceries at times.

I have prayed I have cried I have asked for the little help I can from my closest family members but I really don’t want to be a burden on them.

I can give more details about my situation if needed, but if i am able to pay all the negative I have it would lift a huge load of my back, I have not been at peace since a couple months back now and because of money I am here begging for any kind of help I can get.

All I want in this life is to live everyday to the fullest and be  the best mom I can be to my babies.

God bless!
