6 months ago my life changed forever, I found out I was pregnant with my first child. But I was happy I had a job, and apartment and a car. Then 3 months later my car was taken from me and then went everything else. At that point I didn’t have anything and my baby’s father had been providing for me. Then a month after that he lost his job, then we both had nothing. I instantly just began to stress more and more each day. Now just 3 weeks ago my life changed drastically, I had my baby 3 months early. So of course he’s a premature baby that needs a lot attention, help, and prayer. Now I’m even more stressed out, but I make it my business to go see my baby in the NICU everyday even though It hurts me to see him like that so much. Now not only do I worry about not having a place for my son to come home to, not having any money, or a car, I’m also worrying about my sons health.  My son weight 1lb and 12oz right now. I cry almost every night worrying about him, and worrying about my living situation and what I’m gonna do when it’s time for him to come home. I tried to go get a new job but it only made my stitches from my emergency C-Section stretch open so that didn’t work. Everyone keeps telling me I have to take it easy and that i shouldn’t be trying to go back to work this soon , but I’m trying to find a job that won’t have me straining my body so much so that I can find a way to provide for my son when it’s tile for him to leave the hospital. But I haven’t been having any luck at all. I’ve been begging family and friends to help me with finding a job and still no luck. I’m so stressed out at this point I feel like a bad parent already. I constantly have to keep asking people for money just so that I can eat. It’s killing me to be in this situation, especially knowing that I have a son that is going to be coming home to me soon, and knowing that I don’t even have a place for him to call home just makes it even worse. IM BEGGING SOMEONE TO PLEASE HELP ME PLEASE FIND IT IN YOUR HEART TO HELP ME OUT. Even if I could get enough to buy a car I would be able to make money driving for Uber/Lyft etc. I really truly need the help I pray every night for a blessing and I’m hoping it will come one day hopefully sooner than later. I’m not sure what else to do anymore my options are running out. I’m doing the best that I can but nothing seems to be working. PLEASE SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME I REALLY NEED THE HELP IM BEGGING

Hello everyone. I just don’t know which direction to turn right now. I feel very hopeful for my future and I am a very genuine human being. I just need a little help getting started on the life I am suppose to be living. I am in a rut and feel stuck. I am a 24 year old single mother of 3 boys ages 4, 2, and 11 months old. Everyday is a blessing with them. I just want to give them what they deserve. About a month ago due to not being able to keep up with the bills we were evicted. We now are staying in a motel. I soon will run out of the little money I have. I also have no car. I have no family to turn to, no mother or father. My children’s dad is not in the picture. Imagine taking care of 3 children everyday with no help. It is a struggle. It has caused me to slip into depression but I still stay strong for them. If only I could find trustworthy people to help with watching my 2 youngest children so I can start working again. I have separation anxiety and don’t just send my kids out to any stranger. Family members will only help out with them if they are paid. Which I still don’t understand because if it was me I would gladly help family out for free. I have a big heart but it seems the ones with the big hearts always get stepped on. The universe works in mysterious ways so I am still very thankful just for being alive. Anyhow, I have big goals and dreams and just need help getting started. I want to go to school for business. I plan on starting my own business as a real estate investor, which I am very passionate about. I appreciate anything I am given. I will even appreciate some advice if that’s all you have. If you are willing to help, I would like to bring in 5,000$-15,000$ to help with classes I am going to take, a car, rent, therapist, and to invest in our future. Thank you so much!

Hello everyone.. I am 19 years old, I am 22 weeks and 3 days pregnant with a little girl, I’m living with my mom and step dad in an efficiency apartment right now, At first we had a 3 bedroom house, it was Me, my little sister and them both, My mom and i were the only ones working , but then my mom got my step dad (Dave) a job where she worked.. He was doing fine, worked for about 2 months and I guess somewhere during that time he found a mistress.. my mom and i had absolutely no idea what was going on, The girl was my mom’s friend, But in April he ended up leaving her. He wrote her a letter explaining that he could not deal with me and my sister anymore, that we were killing him and that she did not satisfy him anymore, In the letter he wrote how it wasn’t because he was cheating .. said it at least l 3 different times, My mom was at work at that time and she had no idea what was going on, neither did i.. My little sister (who is his only child) was helping him mess around with this female the whole time, anyways he left for work after he wrote the letter and my sister was supposed to give it to her when mom got off, She did. My mom was heartbroken, She tried killing herself (they have been together since I was 6 months old).. Later that night my sister left and her phone was ringing, It was a females name, I answered it and the woman asked for Dave, I was so confused because he was supposed to be at work. I told her , and hung up and she then texted, I was curious so I started looking through these text messages and it was my dad that was texting her the whole time.. I was distraught. I felt like I needed to tell my mom. I was so scared too, But I did.. My mom almost quit her job but she didn’t .. a week or so later I had a baby doctor appointment, I found out I was already 1 cm dialated, My OBGYN put me on bed rest and told me that I wasn’t aloud to work any longer, So now it was just my mom working.. We couldn’t afford the house anymore and stayed in a motel for 4 days, Then she found an efficiency, so my little sister, myself and My mom moved into this efficiency apartment. Everything was going okay, my mom forgave my sister and it was okay. Then we found out my sister was on meth, we tried everything to get her to get clean, At one point we believed she really wanted too, But my little sister ended up moving out to move into her drug dealers house.. There is nothing we can do about it, bc she is 18 now. She’s still there I worry every minute because she’s my baby sister… But anyways Dave ended up calling my mom and asking for her to take him back. She of course fell for his “charm, and lies saying everything would change, he would be better, wouldn’t sleep all day and night and wouldn’t only want her for her money.. Yeah that’s not happening. He quit his job a week after he moved out of our old house, He had no income or anything.. All he does is sleep all day, Stay up half the night and repeat over and over again.. so here we are now, I had a check up at my OBGYN, I am now 2 1/2 cm dialated at 22 weeks, I have to get weekly injections (they HURT so bad!) And I am not aloud to work, It’s still only my mom working, I am grateful for her but I’m afraid were going to lose our place.. My goal is to get my cervix to stop dialating before I have to have the stitch in my cervix.. Drs think that the shots are working :) But I just want to be able to help.. I wish I could work, I barely have anything for my daughter.. I still need a carseat, More clothes, Diapers wipes and bottles, (I’m going to try my hardest to breastfeed) my mom gets paid biweekly and all of my mom’s checks go towards food, Our rent, we only have to pay water so that’s good, and if Dave asks her for something.. She can NEVER tell him no..  I just want to be ready for my daughter.. She is Due September 23rd 2019, UNLESS she decides to make her way into this world sooner.. If whoever is reading this , (if anyone actually does.. I’m not sure) I would greatly appreciate it if you could help me out right now.. My PayPal is PayPal.me/simba2420 and my cashapp is bigkay213.. Ive never done anything like this before and I was looking online and seen this.. I’m praying someone can help. Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to read what is going on in my life.

Some of you might be wondering what happened to the father.. we we’re together for a year and 9 months before I got pregnant, and as soon as I told him he left me, Blocked me on every social media, my phone number, EVERYTHING, it’s okay though because I WILL be a GREAT mother to her, no matter what.

Again my PayPal is PayPal.me/Simba2420  and my cashapp is Bigkay213

I am a 23 year old single mother to my beautiful daughter who is 17 months old. For a while we were doing okay but now I am way in over my head. Sometimes I do not know if I will even be able to get her diapers and wipes for the week. I am currently in college and trying to put her father on child support but it is a process. Already, my car is up for repossession and hasn’t had any car insurance for a little over a month so I have not been able to drive it anyways. We are living with family in a crowded home while I try to get my life together and get a job so that we can move out as soon as possible. My mother is also ill with a heart condition whom I take care of everyday as well. I hate to even need to ask people for money or help but sometimes in order to give you need to ask. My grandfather who normally takes care of us is going through his own financial struggles and my daughter and I being added to the load just is not helping him at all. I need to tend for my daughter and myself as much as I can. No one said that being a single mother was going to be easy but I do not think i realized it would be this hard either. I just need help to get myself up and going to get my life together so she can go into daycare and I can get myself a job and keep up with schooling. I want to be able to give my daughter the life I never had and right now it seems shes getting the life I did have which is not what is best for her.

My paypal is paypal.me/jennamariexo and anything at all would help us get back on our feet and living the life I know she deserves to live. Thank you for listening and I hope to one day be able to help someone who is in need

Dear Friends,

I am a single mother of two. I am currently unemployed, though looking for work after ten years of being a stay at home mother/homemaker, and having been down this past year in recovery after having broken my ankle and having to have surgery to repair both bone and muscle. It has been a long road, and recently has only become harder.

Three months ago, it came to my attention that the man I was engaged to was molesting my youngest child. As he was immediately removed from our home and incarcerated, we have been left without an income of our own, until I find employment. We are still in the process of all of the legalities and such to determine what his ultimate punishment will be. There are expenses and things from this occurrence, alone, that we are struggling to meet, including counseling for my child and myself. We are in the process of trying to have these covered, but while in this process, other areas are struggling.

Aside from the emotional and physical aspects, the financial burden it has left us in is quite heavy. My parents are amazing and doing their best for us. Things do wind up behind, however, as it is hard to balance a household of six on just my stepdad’s disability income. I do get assistance for food expenses, which helps, but, of course, does not cover everything necessary. I am looking to raise money to help my family with expenses such as bills, gas and such to help me along with my job search, and the other debts I have found myself in, since no longer having the supporting income we once did.

I am writing to seek any support that may be found for myself and my family. There is so much involved in all of this, and I know it is typical for people to have a set amount they are aiming to gain. However, at this point, I do not have an absolute goal. Any amount can and will help in this case, and will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your contribution(s). This is a very difficult time,and I cannot express enough how much it means to my family and me to have the support of others who may sympathize or empathize with our current situation.

Thank you again!
Sincerely,

A.M.W

I won’t bore you with the same sob story that I am sure you hear over and over again. I’ll keep it short and sweet and to the point. Obviously, I am here for monetary support. Yes, my husband left our family for the chick at his office. Yes, he put our family through immense amounts of hell and emotional abuse. He is the definition of an extreme narcissist. My children have seen and heard things they never should have. We have three daughters together ages, 7,8 and 10.

Was I a perfect wife? Nope. Have I made mistakes? Sure! But I never cheated on him and NOTHING in this world is worth inflicting that kind of pain on our children.

I finally left our beautiful farm house and land in June 2018. Moved in with family. Got approved for low income housing and moved in to an apartment 4 months later. If you can picture plucking your kids from a big house and the only home they have ever known with a farm, growing up as “outside kids” and are now having to live in an apartment, please understand my pain for them.

I’ve done EVERYTHING in my power to make a new home for them and shield them from more pain or asking them to “adjust” to one more thing. We have come a LONG way. I work two jobs and it kills me that I have to wake my kids up two hours before we normally do, just so that I work those two jobs because I have NO ONE to help me. No family, no friends, and I am slightly over protective and plus I don’t have the funds to pay a babysitter much less find one that I would trust. Im doing everything on my own. My husband as moved on and purchased a new house with a big back yard and he’s just living his best life. He was able to go to school and get his real estate license and now he is a real estate agent. Must be nice to have the time to better his life when he doesn’t have kids to worry about. He does pay me child support which I am thankful for but as you may know its never the same as two incomes in a household.

I qualified for food stamps. $64 a month.

I work as a special education paraprofessional at a local elementary school. I changed the girls school so they could come with me. I didn’t have a choice because there again…no one to help transport them to and from school.

I’ve had to pawn my car to pay for attorneys fees which by the way keep rolling in! Because my estranged husband is dragging it out and nit picking the papers to DEATH. Its almost over but I am completely tapped out. My savings: depleted. My checking account: Overdrawn because I HAD to get groceries.

So, I can’t pay my car note because that is astronomical and I thought for sure by now it would be over and Id be able to use the settlement money to dig my way out of that mistake. I wake up every morning and pray my car is still in the parking lot.

I can’t pay for attorneys fees. I can’t pay for ANYTHING. We are scraping to get by every single day and I’m honestly  on my knees at this point. Anything to help me get out of this situation. I can’t move my babies again and cause them more pain or stress. I am trying to start a side business to help with income but that is a joke because I’m so broke.

If anyone has ever been in my situation and can offer any kind of advice or monetary support, I would be forever grateful and would give back to someone else in need when I get to the point where I can.  I know I will!! I will never give up trying to better my life and the lives of my girls.

Thank you for taking the time to read my “sob story”

Hello My Angel/Hero!

I hope all is well with you and your family.  First, thank you for taking the time out of your life to read my request/begging for help.  I know everyone is going through something in life that is not perfect.  Just the fact that you are reading this now says so much about your kindness and empathy.  Again, thank you!

     I stumbled across this website when looking for some type of way to get out of the desperate situation I’m in right now.   I will tell you now that I am not perfect.  I am a humble yet strong mother.  I am clean and sober while continuously working on being my best self.  Because of all my past mistakes (life lessons), I now love myself despite of all my flaws.  My heart is good and I have helped people when they’ve needed help.  I help when I can now.  I learned to forgive people who have hurt me as well as myself.  Also, I have suffered many losses and can not seem to get out of this hole I’m in now.  Since the recent loss of the lovely women in my life (my grandmother, my mother, my aunt and my sister) all in the last two years, I have not been the same.  However, supporting them while witnessing their health deteriorate over the last few years was more devastating to me than anything.  Being strong for them as they dealt with the after affects of chronic diseases that cause amputations, strokes, mental illness, dialysis, dementia, multiple various surgeries, long hospital stays, rehabilitation with different therapies, and so forth, was just what I did.  As well as dealing with the not so pleasant dynamics of  them not having their affairs in order prior to death.    Disrespectful, greedy family members (and so called friends) demonstrated so much hatred for me and the legacy of these super strong females that I loved very much.  

     The story gets deeper.  In the last two years, I have also lost my home and had to sell my car.  The basic necessities of life in this world.  I am a single mother of two wonderful children.  My beautiful daughter is 16 and doing well in school.  I am very proud of her!  My son is autistic and will be 15 in July.  He is so awesome and smart in such a different way!   He has taught me more than I have taught him.  Both of them give me the strength to keep going despite feeling so much heartache and pain.   Right now, my ex husband makes a better income than I do so he has physical custody of the children with us sharing joint legal custody.  For a few years, I went through a long and painful divorce/custody battle.   My greatest battle I have ever lost.   My heart was so broken from losing that fight that I survived a heart attack and stent placement surgery in 2013.  But during that fight, those strong women helped me every step of the way!

     If I can just get back on my feet, I can get back to being the mom I need to be for them.  I am staying in temporary housing that I have been in since July 2017.  It’s not the best conditions or in the best of areas, but I am grateful for a roof over my head.  I am considered to be homeless because I have no lease.  I have asked for help from so many resources in my area, but I was finally told in order to get help I would need to go to a homeless shelter when a spot was available to get assistance.   I would lose my things and my job.  And most of my pay goes to have a weekly room for $175 every week.  I do work full time, walk to work and pay child support for my children.   My job doesn’t pay much, but it keeps me productive while interacting with people who are making it in this world.  It keeps me feeling independent.  

     I just could use a little help paying my back storage fees and a payday loan balance.  Copies are included and posted.  Would you please help change my life and the lives of my children in a beautiful way!   My goal is to pay off my back storage fees which are now late and higher due to late fees accumulating monthly.  I have 2 units with all of our belongings in them.  I am making payments on a payday loan.  I owe a personal loan to a friend ($400) for helping me save my storage units from going to auction.  The loans helped me save our things.  I need a dependable and reliable car to be able to do side jobs like instacart, Uber/Lyft or find another option to make more money.  I got to hustle more.  Finally, I need a place for us to stay.  I found a place online for sale that looks nice and clean.  A condo with 3 bedrooms in a decent neighborhood.   My monthly payment could be $345 instead of $700 for a room.  If I don’t raise enough for that, I will rent something to move in as soon as possible.  I’m missing feeling normal.

     Lastly, this would be the best gift ever for me and my kids.   I have no one else to ask and nowhere to go.  Please help me.  I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your time and any help you can provide!  I will make miracles happen with anything.  May God bless you!

Sincere love and blessings to you!

Hello, my name is Tieiesha and I’m a 31 year old, single mother of 2 beautiful daughters. We reside in Indianapolis, IN.

Back in 2010, I was diagnosed with epilepsy stemming from a tumor on the right side of my brain. Part of the tumor was removed during surgery just 2 weeks after giving birth to my youngest daughter. I was put on seizure medication for the rest of my life but back in 2006, I began to have partial seizures again. By May of 2018, my seizures aggressively progressed from partial seizures to full-blown, black-out episodes. After running numerous tests, my neurologists can’t seem to figure out why my seizures have returned nor why they’re more aggressive and more frequent then before.

I have several seizures on a weekly basis and sometimes multiple seizures per day which have caused me to miss days of work at a time. I’ve been blessed to keep my job of 4 years due to FMLA but the time I take off due to my neurological condition is unpaid.

I’ve always been able to work hard & maintain my household as well as take care of my daughters, but as of November 2018, things took a drastic downfall. My medical condition caused me to miss so many days of work on a weekly basis that I was barely making money to meet rent, pay the bare minimum on utility bills to prevent disconnection and to just make ends meet.

I was finally approved to receive government Snap assistance for the month of May which was a huge help with feeding my family after being denied several times. Before, I had to go to pantries and take my debit card into overdraft after every paycheck just to feed my family and to make ends meet. Up until now, I’ve been making it off of payday advances, personal loans and even a car title loan which is a viscous cycle because it keeps you in debt. I’ve attempted to take out more loans but since I already have out 3, I keep getting denied. I’ve applied for assistance through government agencies my neighborhood trustees offices, as well as local organizations & charities but they are so filled that the push back processing time to even get an interview to see if I’m eligible is too far out for my immediate needs. I even tried a GoFundMe but to no avail.

Right now I’m facing eviction if my rent plus late fee isn’t paid by May 23rd and my gas/water bill will be disconnected as of May 17th if I don’t at least pay the disconnect amount. If my car title loan payment is paid by the extension date of May 17th, I risk losing only source of transportation. My truck isn’t worth much & I can’t even afford to get critical repairs done to it but it’s all I have for my daughters and I.

My illness has really pushed me upon hard times & for the sake of daughters, I had to push my pride to the side and ask for assistance. I just don’t know what to do anymore but I’m humbled and blessed to even make it this far. I don’t mean to bother you and I’m sure you must receive hundreds of requests of people asking for money. To insure you that this isn’t a scheme or lies, if you are willing to help, I can send you any information, rental office letters or even utility bills. I’m not even asking for a cash handout, if you’d like to pay anything directly, I’m more than willing to provide with my information.

As a child raised in a single-parent household, it makes me appreciate life more & love my mother more than ever before because she was so strong to raise me all by herself. I know understand as I stand in her shoes. I’m even willing to work for it, it doesn’t have to be considered a “hand-out”. I’m just in desperate need and honestly, I don’t have any other options. 

May you continue to be a blessing to others and may you continued to be blessed yourself ❤️

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.
