Feeling lost

I have felt guilty for many years now.

Ever since I was little, I’ve suffered with depression and anxiety. I was bullied pretty badly in high school and dropped out because I just couldn’t cope anymore. I still feel damaged by those years even now, more than ten years later.

For a long time, I feel like I’ve just drifted. I’ve struggled to hold down ‘real’ jobs and done a lot of volunteering. I’ve been trying my hand at freelancing but have only been awarded a couple of jobs. There’s so many people out there doing the same thing, it’s hard to compete. Sometimes, when I don’t even get a response applying for some jobs.. it really hurts. It makes me wonder what I’m doing wrong.

I already feel inferior in a lot of ways. Struggling to find work just makes me feel a million times worse, and when I’m discouraged, I wonder what the point of even trying is. But considering I still live with my parents and am often unable to contribute much in the way of money (for food, bills and whatnot)… it makes me feel terrible. At best I feel useless, at worst I feel like a failure of a human being.

I know that right now, if I tried to get a more ‘normal’ job, I wouldn’t be able to deal with it because of my depression and anxiety. And that just makes me feel even more guilty and ashamed.

I have my own car but haven’t driven it in over a year now because I don’t have the money for any kind of upkeep with it anymore and it needs repairs. I live in a rural area and don’t really go anywhere now (the only friends I have moved away). I really feel like I’ve lost what little independence I had before since now if I wanted to go anywhere, I would need to have one of my parents drive me.

I have been deluding myself when it comes to my dental health. For years I’ve told myself “it’s not that bad” while it continues to get worse. It’s nothing that visible to anyone but a closer look and you’ll start to see several problems. You probably won’t seen the impacted wisdom teeth but you’ll notice I’ve ground my teeth down quite a bit (from my friend anxiety, of course), and my jaw has become malaligned. I have crowded mouth, with teeth pushing to the front, to the point where they’ve eaten through the gum. I also have what I’m pretty sure are a few cavities.

This all makes things pretty uncomfortable. Occasionally, I’ll look into how much these things will cost to repair and I just totally shut down because it’s so much, and some of it could even require surgery (like for my jaw). I wait for the day my teeth will just start falling out and want to cry thinking about it. But I just don’t know how to help myself. I’m scared to go to the dentist but mostly for the judgement. I just can’t believe I’ve let it get this bad. But I don’t have any money for it anyway. It seems like no matter how hard I try, trying to land jobs, it won’t work for me. And honestly, at this point, they would need to be high paying jobs to fix all the damage.

I was suicidal as a teenager. I no longer feel like I would actually go through with it but when I find myself overwhelmed by things, I sometimes think how much easier it would be just to leave it all behind. I think about my parents having to deal with me for any longer, of them finding out about how bad my dental problems are, of them never seeing me achieve anything.. Believe it or not I’m generally a positive person. But sometimes all of this gets to be a bit much and I just want to give up on myself.

I am in love with various art forms, like digital art, photography and video editing. I would love to make a living from one or all of them but it takes time to build up a portfolio and an audience. Any help you could give me while I work on this would be so gladly appreciated, you have no idea. Thank you so much for even considering it.

A HELPING HAND

My name is Lynette Berntsson.  I am 58 years old and live with my partner Brian in a small village in Northern NSW Australia

February of last year, we were at the happiest point in our lives.  We were planning to be married on the 5th May, 2017.  The wedding invitations had gone out. The dress was made and the venue was all picked out.  Brian and I have known each other since 2014.  Music brought us together, Brian is a drummer and also a Barber. I, myself,  am a singer but had not sung for a long time, until I met Brian.  He brought the best out in me and the same for him.  Life could not have been better.

On the morning of the 3rd of March, 2017, my darling, Brian had a stroke.  It was a very severe one, affecting his speech and the right side of his Body.  Fortunately, even though we live in the country, he was seen to in time.  I thought with time he would regain most of his strength.  Little did I know what I, and my darling, were in for.

After a few weeks, after the stroke, Brian needed another operation.  The hospital asked for a Power of Attorney, because we were not married yet.  I asked his half-brother, who is a lawyer, for help.  My only thought was for Brian.  To help him have his operation.  I did not know what was going to happen next.

His half-Brother, the lawyer, filed to be his guardian.  He wanted to sell his house, his car and all other assets and put Brian in a nursing home.  I was to be expelled like some kind of pest,  with an order against me not to see Brian again.  My immediate reaction, was to fight for Brian’s rights and mine too.

It cost me everything I had saved, to fight his half-brother in a court case, to get Brian home.

We had to face a tribunal, where it was decided, that Brian was his own guardian but the NSW trustee would handle his finances.

Since June,  last year,  we have been struggling.  We are both pensioners. The Trustee would take Brian’s pension and allocate funds for bills.  For three months,  they never paid a bill.  I was left to pay everything out of my pension with the exception of a $100 dollars a week which the trustee gave me.  I have won small steps with them.  Now,  they are paying some of the bills but it is still very hard.

I am asking for a helping hand.  To  help with our finances, to pay for any rehabilitation  that Brian might need in the future.  The NSW trustee, only will pay so much and the rest of the bill is with  me.  I have borrowed from friends to get us through and I am still paying the solicitors bill.  I am behind with my own loan and am trying to catch up.

I know there is a light at the end of the tunnel for us both.  I am so proud of Brian.  The way he tries to get better.  His speech is improving.  We practice words everyday, as part of his rehabilitation.  We go for little walks, with our dog, Pepper, who guards Brian all the time.  Lately, Brian is trying to get back to playing his drums but finds it hard to hold the drumstick.

I ask if anyone can help, with a donation, in any way,  it would be wonderful.  To get us back on our feet and to help my darling with his battle to regain his strength and his pride.  My paypal link is paypal.me/LynBerntsson

Thanking you with all my heart and a sincere thank you from Brian as well for your support.

All our best wishes for your kindness

Lyn and Brian xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Farm

When I was younger, I fell in love with a good man and we had two sons. Living in a small coastal town was good because of community but not so good because of lack of paid work.

We managed to secure a low income housing loan, with help from our friend who loaned us the $10K deposit. We paid her back, no problem, but it took awhile.

Many years later, when our sons were starting high school and ending primary school, my husband ran away from all the responsibility. He needed freedom. I took over the mortgage, the kids, the dog, and a fulltime job, all by myself for the next 10 years. I worked hard & we lived simply.

As the boys grew up we built another room onto the house (with our own hands). I was very proud of us. It wasn’t legal but it worked. And again, we had some help from the fellow I worked for. He was a roofing contractor. We had some help from friends mixing cement for the footings. We had some help from others with donations of building material. I was very grateful. We learned a lot.

About 6 years ago, I took a good long look at my sons. One was smoking pot and losing jobs and the other was struggling with autism & depression after being ostracised from his peer group. I said ‘let’s go on a road trip!’ This eventuated in all three of us seeing better opportunity in the city and so I packed up, sold almost everything, and rented out the house. The pot smoking son didn’t smoke again, the autistic son opened up. Both are doing reasonably ok now. Not financially good but certainly with better mental health.

With a mortgage to subsidise, I thought ‘I’ll just get a job’ but I couldn’t. No matter how hard I tried I just couldn’t get a foot in the door. Then the bank repossessed my home and now I’m stuck here in the city. At age 57 and renting, it’s not a promising outlook. I finally found fulltime work about a year ago, my credit rating is very good again, I’ve been researching for over a year as to what I could buy with a small loan of $150K. It’s quite possible to buy a bit of land with a council approved dwelling on it (aka shed) which I could rent out. All I need is the deposit. I’ve asked a few people like relatives and friends but nobody is in a position to help. I’m saving for a deposit but it will take years and my age is against me to be able to get a loan after I’m 60. The mortgage broker I’m communicating with says I have a great chance at securing a loan if I can come up with the deposit.

Hence me asking for help. I need $25K now, while I still have a fulltime job to be able to get the loan. Then the rent will pay the loan. $25k. That’s do-able if 25 kind people donate $1,000 each. Of course, any amount at all will help and be greatly appreciated. It will go into our ‘farmforme’ savings fund. Please help. I can see it in my mind’s eye – it’s a little farm in the hills out the back of Gympie. I’m able to live there when I retire and we will feel safe there. I suspect I’ll still have my autistic son living with me too, as well as some chooks. I would become a foster mum because I’d have time to help. We would grow eggs, and flowers to sell, and help others with their animals and be a pro-active part of our community. I’m worried about when I retire, or if I lose my job before then. I have very little superannuation. I don’t want to end up homeless because I can’t afford rent in the city and not be able to afford to eat properly on just a pension. We eat simple clean food now. I never go out shopping in an effort to not spend on unnecessary goods. We fix things or buy second hand, instead of buying new. I’m just trying to show that I’m a responsible person.

I need to stay focused on what we need and trust in the good in humanity. Ask and ye shall receive. I have faith.

If you can help, I thank you in advance.

Please help us give my girl the Christmas she deserves

Hello my name is Micheal I have never done anything like this before as I have never been in this situation I have always worked and been the one donating.

Today Im here to ask for your help, your help to give my little girl the Christmas she deserves  if you will allow me I will explain our situation.

Recently this year I was laid off my job as a Produce manager due to budget cuts in August with 2 weeks pay in lou of notice and being severely under paid this was not much, also being that my partner worked around my full time roster she herself had minimal hours soon we were drowning in debt with a house we couldn’t afford and bills stacking up .

Now normally in my country if you loose your job you get government assistance upon losing your job but as my partner was working I was referred to take a parenting payment and told it would take 3 weeks to be processed, now with my partner making only 315$ a week and having rent at 375 a week and power internet phone and gas bills we drowns in debt fast.

In late November our savings ran dry and with no new job for me we left and moved in with my partners mum, having sold everything we owned and barely making a dent in our debt we soldiers on with the same roster from my partners work and no payment assistance from our government and now work for me even though I actively searched daily.

It is now the 25 November 2018 still no assistance from government and the same pay from my partners work no new job for me and only half way through our debt, Christmas is approaching fast, so please I implore you give so that my 2 year old can have the Christmas she deserves no parent should have to see their child go without at Christmas.

Thank you a million times from the bottom of my heart .

I Was Scammed Please Help!

My name is Michael Thomson, I was once on Instagram looking around at peoples profiles and I found somebody that I was interested in. I messaged them and we started talking, we then started talking on WhatsApp. He is a guy from India named Kumar, I wanted to meet him and he wanted to meet me. After a long time of chatting, he mentioned that he had a business on amazon and needed money for supplies to manufacture stuff. I was a bit hesitant to give money at first but I thought it would be fine as just a one off thing. Then after a while he’d ask for money again and I was still more hesitant but he insisted he would be able to pay me back. He sent videos and voice messages and it seemed convincing that he was definitely telling the truth. At one point I kept telling him I couldn’t send anymore money to him as I was running low. He begged and begged and says he had tax coming back that he would give to me to pay me back. But his tax keeps getting delayed and it’s taking longer and longer. I’m getting anxious and I’m not sending him money anymore. I’m only young, 18 years old with a job at a grocery store. I’m planning on moving out into my own house next year and wanted to save money and that’s a whole lot of money that is now gone and I don’t think I’ll be getting back. My messages don’t send through to him now on my WhatsApp. I can’t let my parents find out anything that has happened with my money and I am desperate to get my money back. I am very disappointed in my self and everyday I’m anxious about my money that I need back. I just feel like he’s using excuses as to not give money back. I was warned about these kind of scams and I didn’t think I would be involved in one. I now know to give money to anyone online that I have never met. I want to get my money back and block this person out of my life and continue on my career as I am going to be working in CSSD department in a hospital. I have attached a photo of Western Union transaction details in my email from a part of the money I sent to him. I have more emails and proof of these transactions. I will be extremely grateful for anyone that can help me out. Mainly I need my money back because I’m trying to save my money for my future and I didn’t know I would be scammed. Thank you to anyone that can help me. I was scammed $2007.85

I can’t make rent or pay my medical bills

Hi there,

 

So. Long story short. Over the last year I lost a pregnancy during my 5th month, had tonsillitis, gastro, ruptured ovarian cysts, and suspected endometriosis. This has all caused a massive decrease in mental stability. I have been struggling with severe anxiety and major depressive disorder. The doctors think that I most likely have either Bipolar Disorder or Borderline Personality Disorder.

 

All of this has made it incredibly hard to maintain a stable job. Last year I had to take out a personal loan from the bank in order to make up for loss of wages from when I couldn’t work, basic whitegoods in the house, and to replace our car when it broke down and couldn’t be repaired. We have been struggling to make the loan repayments, and had to live off our credit card as the small amount of income we were getting only covered out rent. Pretty soon a series of minor setbacks had snowballed into a mountain of debt and expenses we couldn’t seem to find a way to recover from.

 

I thought all our troubles were behind us when I got a stable job a few months ago. However, both my physical and mental health have deteriorated dramatically and I have been unable to work. I have been experiencing extreme and undiagnosed pain for the past few weeks making me unable to go to work, or even to do simple tasks like showering, or standing for long periods of time. As I was working as a temp I haven’t been able to gain any sick leave and now we can’t pay our rent.

On top of everything else my partner has just been told he needs to pay over $2000 to have his teeth repaired, or have around 10 teeth removed (at $150 per tooth). Now we are out of options. We can’t pay our rent, are struggling to buy groceries, and can’t afford our medical expenses, let alone paying out our existing debt.

 

We need around $3000 to pay for our rent, groceries, immediate bills and starter payments for our medical expenses. In total we now owe around $35,000 between our personal loan and credit card debts, medical and dental expenses, and previous medical loans (I had to pay just over $3700 for the operation to have the baby removed after they died due to how late in my pregnancy I was).

 

If you can spare any amount of money, big or small, it would mean the world to us. We are really out of options and desperately need your help. We are trying so hard but it’s not enough and right now there is nothing else we can do without money. Please, please help. If you can spare anything please send it to me at PayPal.Me/Anna1995

 

Thank you, so much.

Please help a young family

Hi, I’m Hayley. I’m a 27 year old first time mum. My family and I have had a horrific year and desperately need some help. I had a very traumatic pregnancy and was bedridden much of it due to ongoing migraines that were lasting up to 12 days. Due this time my partner was forced out of his job due to harassment and bullying from his boss (we were advised that he not return). This meant we were surviving off almost no money and were having to go to food banks and charities for help. His family helped a little bit due to their own money problems they could not do much. We asked my very well off family if they could help, but they said I was someone else’s problem now (they do however support my adult brother and sister). To add to this at 32 weeks I was rushed to hospital 3 hours away with my liver, kidneys and brain starting to shutdown (I had HELLP syndrome and preeclampsia). After being admitted on Friday and taken to a major hospital 3 hours away I had to have my daughter delivered by emergency c section on the Sunday. It meant we were having to live 3 hours away from home on very little money with our daughter in the NICU. We are at home now, but stuff is still very tough.We were told that due to my health we were told that it would be advisable for both my partner and I to stay home. As a result money has been very, very tight. We are getting benefits, but with a growing baby it seems to not be enough. I’m doing surveys and trying to bring in money anyway I can, but it seems to not be quite enough. If anyone can donate it would help us so so much. If you have any questions please message me. https://www.paypal.me/dreamingofluminous

Sleeping in my car!

Hello to everyone, my name is Melissa & I’d like to say thank you for taking the time to read my story. Life all of a sudden is a complete mess. I’ve been on my own now for a number of years and in that time my life was good. I was then diagnosed with a rare blood disorder called essential thrombocythemia. My bone marrow produces too many platelets so in turn it can cause a heart attack or stroke. I take aspirin to prevent this from happening. It’s not life threatening but it can turn into leukaemia. Mainly it takes away all my energy. I then had to go into hospital to have a shoulder reconstruction, I had 4 in 1 because it was so bad. A tear though my shoulder, 1 through my bicep, a cyst & they found a spur as well. It’s taken a couple of years to heal but I still get pain.
The problem is that I’m a personal trainer so I wasn’t able to work so between having no job, rent, bills, medical bills it really took its toll. I’ve been trying for months to get a job in anything to no avail, oh yes I’m 45. I’m trying to run fitness classes but unfortunately no one is turning up. I’ve been staying with friends but that has now come to an end. So now I’m sleeping uncomfortably in my car, I’ve also had 2 back operations which doesn’t help.
So this is my last resort as much as I hate to but here I am swallowing my pride. I need your help, even a little just to help me get back on my feet and into a home and out of my car. I would be forever grateful to anyone who helps me. I will definitely come back to this site and help those in need once I’m in a position to do so.
Forever grateful,
Melissa

Single Father In Desperate Need Of Funds.

Hello to all of you out there. My name is Greg and I’am at breaking point. I have tried so hard to keep my head above the water and feel like it is two steps forward and 1000 steps backwards. You see I’am raising my two beautiful boys alone as my wife took her life 3 years ago due to mental health issues. I have given my children all I can to have a normal life. With bills, home repayments, school fees (ect) I have one wage and have been struggling to make ends meet for a while. I met a lady at the start of the year who knew what I and my boys had been through and she drained my life savings all of 60K. How you ask? Because I suppose after my wife took her life, I went through the grieving stages and when I was thought I was ready to move on and try to create a normal life for my boys, (a Mother and a Father) I was so wrong to do it with that person. I was vulnerable, and this woman knew this. I was blind sided and obviously stupid not to see what she was doing . I can only just afford the minimum monthly repayments on my credit card and the interest is building up. I’am not the one to beg but I cant get ahead in life without doing this, I feel embarrassed to ask as I have a lot of self pride, but I do not know what else to do. I’am in need of 60k to get things back on track for the future of myself and my boys. Thank you for reading my story, it is much appreciated. PayPal.Me/GSimmons84

I never thought I would be in this position

I was a 34 year old mother of 4 beautiful girls. I worked part time, had a 4 bedroom home with a garden that the girls and I loved, I drove a good car, I enjoyed time with family and my friends, I travelled at least twice a year with my girls to visit family interstate, I had a great life!!

Until February 2018 when I discovered that my partner had another life. He had a serious drug problem that I was oblivious too and another girlfriend who he used the drugs with…once he had been caught out he became extremely violent and controlling, to the point that he would lock us all in a room for hours refusing to let us out.

One night he had completely lost his And I was fearing that if I didn’t do something he would kill me or one of my daughters.

So at 130am I found my two eldest children (11&8) hiding in their closet and told them to put as much of their clothes and special belongings into 1 backpack each as quietly and quickly as they could. I gathered some of the younger 2 children’s (2&9MTHS) necessities and clothes and hunted for the car keys.

Before I could find them he came home and caught me…..my 12yo grab my 8yo and woke my 2yo and ran outside, I grabbed the baby bag and tried to run to get her but he caught me. I could hear them all screaming while he beat me. Eventually he stopped, to smoke more ice. I crept over to my crying baby wrapped her up and walked out to my other children. We never ever returned to our beautiful home.

My, now ex, partner spent the next week calling every child protection agency you can think of and every family member I have telling them that I had gone mentally insane….

I have just finished proving that I am not insane nor did I go insane. I have been forced to give children away to family members because I have no home, no car, no job and very minimal income ($540every two weeks).

My beautiful girls desperately want to live me again and move past this horrible part of our lives.

I am asking for donations to help me pay for furniture and such things to out into a house.. ..we have nothing at all, aside what was in our backpacks. My family are not financial enough to help me and with the income I get and trying to still provide ad much as I can for my girls I just can not afford anything at all

Thank you for reading the short version of the worst year of my life.

BEHIND WITH MEDICAL BILLS

I am in debt due to recent medical and psychological costs. This debt increases with each day that I cannot pay anything back. I have suffered from co-morbid mental health issues for over 13 years, which have made living a normal life impossible for me. I have been diagnosed with Anorexia Nervosa, adult Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder, complex trauma, Borderline Personality Disorder, substance abuse, anxiety and depression. I have been in and out of hospitals for these, as well as life threatening situations that I have been in. My health issues have meant that I have been unable to work and am currently unemployed. I am 28 years old, but I still live with my parents for reasons of cost and care. I am currently in debt over $800, attributed to hospital excess and psychologist ($170 per hour) and psychiatrist ($170 per 15 minutes) bills. I have been unable to do a grocery shop for myself this week as I have not had any money. My mother is also currently out of work due to recent hospitalizations with depression.
I often feel as though I have been dealt a very unfair life. As a teenager I was showing such promise of intellect and was building my vibrant personality. This began to derail after a couple of detrimental traumas. Since then I have experienced countless traumas, acts against my person. These have crushed my self esteem and my beliefs that the world can be an alright place. I have learnt that it can be dangerous and forever plotting against me. I hate living with fear.
The cost of having an illness in this country has proven astronomical and with little positive return. I am slowly but surely making progress this year as I believe I found the right psychologist and psychiatrist suited to work with me.
I am begging not only for money, but for someone or some few to show me that there are decent people out there who care enough to take the time to read this and hopefully be impacted in some way. I am begging that even if you do not or can not donate towards my bills, at least let this teach you that there are people out there who are really struggling and really suffering and really scared of this world. I am begging for those of you who can spare ANY loose change to do so. I would be irrevocably grateful. I am trying so hard to construct a somewhat decent life for myself, but money worries and issues make everything that much more difficult.

Brokenhearted

I escaped the hell I had been trapped in and ended up in a rural country town. Young, ruined in so many ways and with a baby on my hip, I started again, I created my home and took control of my happiness.

Fast forward 5 years

I was working a casual job, management was the worst, I was unable to go full time due to being a single mum and having no support close by to help out. It was a shit job, working for shit people but the people I worked with made everyday worth it. One of the local highschools started a buddy program with my sons’ infants school, the older kids were assigned little groups and they played ball games etc the group leader for my son was a girl I worked with.

(Let’s call her Penny and my son Jake)

Penny had been with child protection services for 9 yrs, she was 16. Her life had been and was still hard. Penny and I struck up a friendship, we became very close. She started becoming part of our day to day lives and she set up camp on my couch. I loved her like she was my daughter.

Penny’s relationship with her caseworker was not good, when it came to dealing with them she couldn’t stop the emotional outbursts, she asked me to step in, so I did. I fought for her to see her younger brother and have a contact schedule drawn up, I negotiated her after care plan with her caseworker, I got her car fixed, I taught her how to drive manual, I took her away for a real family holiday. I loved, cared, encouraged, cooked, cleaned and provided for her, I held her while she cried and I wiped away the tears.

I knew there was no future for Penny where we were living, the town was full of bad memories for her, we talked about moving north to one of the cities. I arranged job transfers for Penny and myself so that we had security until we landed something better. We moved north.

I started working outside of school hours (I didn’t have a choice the company I worked for hired psychopaths for managers and paid no attention to any complaints put in) Penny helped me out with Jake during this time.

I landed a job, closer to home that fit in with being a single mum. That was when it started. Jake had always made comments about Penny being mean to him but I always dismissed it because he was sensitive and she sometimes acted like a spoilt brat. I started noticing it, it was ok for Penny to torment Jake but when he reciprocated the same, she exploded. I negotiated between them, I sought to find peaceful and calm resolutions, I begged and pleaded numerous times with the now 18yr old Penny to find a different way to speak to Jake and remember he was 7 and different from other kids.

It didn’t :(

One day Penny exploded at Jake about something meaningless and she had nothing to do with. Her sister and kids were visiting us and there was a misunderstanding between the kids, Penny jumped up straight away, her sister told her to not worry about it, silly kid stuff.

I was sitting out the back and I watched Penny storm into Jake’s room, I heard her having a go at him, then once she left I heard my son who had just turned 8 make a wish, a wish to be dead.

I pulled Penny aside and once again begged her to find a different way to speak to and approach situations with Jake. She stormed up to her bedroom. Her sister asked her what was wrong and explanation that was given for her mood was ‘I’m not allowed to go off at Jake’. The sister disgusted in her attitude towards all the kids had had enough and informed me of what Penny had said. I saw red, I marched upstairs to her bedroom, stopped near the top of the stairs (Penny did not lift the cover off her head) and I exploded at her (without swearing) I told her to pull her head in and grow up.

The events that followed that resulted in her moving back to the town we had moved from and disappeared. (She’s still there and alive but got into drugs :( makes me sad)

Penny’s parting gift to me was some very large bills and a huge traffic camera fine, all in my name. I tried and was unsuccessful in transferring these costs to her. I have been doing my best to get those under control and maintain my household but its hard and I just don’t earn enough money to cover it all and it’s ruining me. The lots of little payments everywhere, every week is doing more harm than good, things are starting to be lodged with debt collectors.

$100 would help, $8000 would get a lot of it under control, $15,000 would clear it completely.

Can you help me?

School Excursions and Wishes!

Hello,

My name is L and I am in help of some financial help.

I’m currently in Year 11 studying Ancient History and Society and Culture (and several other subjects) and here is where I will need your help.

I don’t come from a wealthy family at all, my mum is on centrelink (welfare) and I don’t have a father. I have a job but unfortunately $13.65 an hour and a shift a week doesn’t help when your school excursions overseas demands thousands of dollars.

My school is conducting two trips, for my AH subject I will (hopefully) be travelling to Greece and Italy, during this tour we will be learning about how the ancient civilisations worked back then and enjoy the many things Italy and Greece have to offer. The other trip is to Vietnam and Cambodia to learn about the Society and Culture of the Angkor people, we will be doing community service for the Angkor children and experiencing the museums, temples and plenty of other enjoyable things they have to offer.

I have gathered some money from odd jobs and distant relatives and have saved up to $1,750 but the two trips combined will estimately cost $11,120. This is all due by December.

I aim to go to university in the future to study to be a social anthropologist, I have always enjoyed language and culture, it means so much to me.

This is so important to me and will have great significant impact to my future.

If you want to help a gal in need then here is my paypal, I would appreciate all the help I can get!!

I couldn’t thank you all enough. ❤️❤️

Mother of two needing a clear break

Dear All,

Thank you for taking the time to read my cry for help. I’m a mother of two who is struggling to catch a break. 2018 has not been my year, with health and marital problems I have at times felt as though it is all so hard.

Through 8 months of hard times my husband and I have started to make amends and try to improve things to ensure a safe and happy home for our kids who are 3 and 5, the only issue is I am in way over my head with debt that I can’t tell him about.

I’m currently employed fulltime and working my bum off to pay the bills and I feel sick lying to my husband. My daughter was born prematurely with a rare condition that has me forking out for medical expenses each month and I now have debt collectors chasing me.

On top of this my dog is requiring vet assistance and I don’t want to get to the point of not being able to help her.

I want to be able to get back on my feet and help others who go through this… including designing a course to present to college students about being financially responsible.

I am not putting a price on my post, I am so greatful for any assistance and just know that I am a very hard worker who has hit rock bottom and when I recover I will pass on this goodwill.. my kids are my world and I feel so ashamed to be at this space in my life.

Turning My Life Around

Hi, I am going to try not to sound like a sob story even though my life has had alot of traumatic experiences occur I am finally getting on top of things emotionally. The most outstanding thing that happened in my life is kind of why I ended up financially broke. I will add I am trying to change my financial situation by currently studying for a qualification in mental health and community services. The last ten years have been like a dream where I slowly lost everything I had house, cars, my career and job. My sister was murdered in very shocking circumstances and it took the last ten years to finally be able to be happy even though I will never be the same. We were very close and I feel like a part of me is missing. After the death of my sister I suffered from PTSD and anxiety it was really the hardest time in my life. Looking back I can’t believe I’m ok now and thankfully because of my trying to find solutions to my problems and pain eventually I started to feel a little better. I had two terrible relationships and I have three kids. One to my first partner he is 16 and 2 to my last partner they are 4 and 6. I had to get a restraining order on my last partner cause unfortunately through my grief I wasn’t seeing the man I was with real face . My father died of cancer around 4 years ago and as tragic as that was it still didn’t compare to the pain of losing my sister. My 6 year old boy has Tourette’s and a few little set backs and I need to buy a car. I can’t get loans as I have made mistakes with my credit rating. I am on a single parent pension while I’m studying as the only source of income. Yes I have healed alot and I am definitely in a better place and I am thankful for my life and my kids and usually wake up with a smile. I tend to not dwell on things and try and stay positive even though grief is still in there somewhere. My car has finally broken down I just want something reliable for me and the kids to get from a to b and to the city close to me 4 hours away when my son has to see the specialist. I want to work and save for my own things again but in the meantime I ask if anyone can please give me a donation towards a car I will save until I have enough to buy one that is reliable and safe. This is a last resort for me but as I’m writing this I see it as an opportunity to get some donations towards a car. It would help with everything. Thankyou

DEBT AND DEPRESSED

This is my last resort i guess. I have never thought to ask for money or help from strangers but i guess its worth a try. I have had two serious relationships in my life. One 9 years and recently 6 years. My Ex partner and i took on a small business in a small country town together. he had to keep working and i run the shop. It is a bit of a catch 22…i needed help but could not afford to pay anyone to be here. I can not have time off. Over the past 5 years of running the shop on my own i have been pushed to my limits. I now experience depression and anxiety for the first time in my life. I was always a bubbly, happy go lucky person, but can’t remember the last time i felt that way. My partner and i have split up, much to do with stress and the pressures of a responsible life, and the fact that I could not deal with verbal abuse anymore. I have always worked full time. I have always tried to do the right thing in life…work, house, car, pay bills etc. There doesn’t seem to be much support or funding for the middle person. If i chose the easy road and just received government payments for not working or had a couple of children and received single parents income it would have been a lot easier and not as stressful. But I’ve never been that kind of person. I have always tried my best and now it’s come to the point in my life where everything has failed. Running a shop by myself for 5 years brought me to a recent break down. Unfortunately i don’t have the option to just walk away as the doctors suggested. I am so run down that i need medical treatment and I’m kicking myself now. I cant blame anyone else. Yes, we are a small quiet town and i took the risk of owning a shop in it. It is failing. My relationship of 6 years is over, and we were engaged and happy at one point. I have a house that’s worth less than i bought it for due to the mining closures here. The shop is not busy enough to run but i owe money to companies and the bank and need to pay it back. I want to get my life on track again. I have started working nights to try and have some income to cover my mortgage. I’m worried about myself, my frame of mind is not good. My ex partner is in a bad way too. No matter how much he verbally abuses me i still feel guilt and don’t want to leave him financially ruined as well. I need help. I have tried for so long that i can see why people give up or just take the easy road out. I’m currently in $450,000 debt. I don’t know how these things work but i have read stories about rich people becoming richer through these kind of pages. So why not give it a go. Every little bit helps. Im 35 years old and feel like I’ve worked my whole life for nothing. I don’t want to be sad any more. I don’t want to be yelled at. I just want to get the money i owe paid and move on with my life. I want to be happy again. I wish this was a post to get some money for a cool holiday or something, but at this point a weekend off without stressing and crying would be great. Thank you.

I need money to visit my boyfriend

Okay so, I’m very sorry if this donation request seems selfish. There are people out there who need money for life-saving surgery and I am not asking anyone to donate to me instead of them, I am only asking for you to hear me out.

I have been with my boyfriend since last year when he came to Sydney on a student exchange. He has since gone back to Germany and picked up an apprenticeship. I haven’t been able to see him since but we have texted, called, FaceTimed the entire time and this has been extremely hard on us both. We are both still together, but we didn’t want to spend this entire year without seeing each other at least once.

Since I am a full-time university student, I don’t have time to work. He has only just begun his apprenticeship in the beginning of this August. Neither of us have the funds for a trip but we still are planning to somehow see each other this December. I have been keeping an eye on flight prices since June and they have been rising slowly but surely. I have been selling my possessions to try to be able to afford the flight ticket but it’s just not enough. The money he’s making from his apprenticeship is just enough for the hotel, but I still need to buy the plane ticket.

Please, if anyone has cash to spare, even if only a little, consider helping me out. It breaks my heart that I haven’t seen him in over a year and I’m already certain that I want to marry him. I want to be able to spend Christmas with him and I want to be held by him again. I miss him so much.

If you’ve read this far, thank you so much for taking the time to. Here’s my PayPal link:

Student needing help paying tuition

Hi my name is Corina,

I am looking for some help with my tuition fees. I am an education student who is required to go on placements. In schools I often have to buy my own resources for lessons that I plan, but not every school has the resources I need to carry out my lessons. My degree encourages students to bring along their own resources as it helps introduce the students to something new they may not have seen before. This can be hard to achieve on a student’s budget as school resources do not always come cheap. I am also required to purchase many different textbooks for classes which can be quite expensive. I have been able to sell some off for some cash, but as new editions come out every year it is harder to sell off the older editions that I own.

My current job only gives me 9 hours of work a week, sometimes a few extra, but it is still not enough to help cover my weekly expenses, pay off my tuition or any other sudden expense that pops up and I am slowly having to dig into my savings. I have tried looking for other job options but it is very difficult to find work that can fit my university schedule, especially when I have placement. It’s also very hard to find work that is close to home as I often have to rely on public transport.

I am working on getting my license and would love to be able to buy a car in the future, it would help with being able to find new places of work that may not be close enough to travel from home. It would also help with driving to future school placements for my degree. Having help with my tuition fees can let me save some money I earn towards getting a car and maintaining it.

Having help with my tuition fees will also allow me to use the money I earn on food, sanitary supplies and doctor/dentist appointments. I would also be able to build up my savings again to help support me if there is a sudden emergency, bill or need to replace something I own.

I hope to have help with paying off my tuition to finish my degree and find a job doing something I love. I dream of being able to work and eventually earn enough money to fully support myself.

I appreciate any size donation and am very thankful for your support!

Thank you very much!

I got scammed $1,400

201C8D9E-209D-4BE7-9B60-9968EE88337B.pngHey everyone. My name is Shannon and I’m only a new to the adult world. I had sold my iPhone ($400) to an overseas buyer.. that was my first mistake. Then the bank they were with had an international bank transfer of $1000. But I had to pay the $600 first… second mistake. After paying that with iTunes cards the bank contacted me asking for a “refundable” $400 for the “BILLING CODE”. After that I was very broke. And they had asked me to pay another $500 for a mistake they made, but then they would give me $2000 in return. First of all the maths didn’t add up, and paying in iTunes cards didn’t add up either, and I was no longer convinced. But I had lost my iPhone, which I sold for $400, and lost $1000 that I had saved up. The only reason I was able to pay the $600 was because I got a Centrelink advance that you slowly pay back. You could only get those once a year. (Centrelink is government benefits for those who don’t earn enough, and are job seekers, not not old enough, which is youth allowance for things like study) Now I have no money left and I’m struggling to put even $50 each week to build up my savings. I’m an adult now which means I get bills which take away all my money. I even had to cancel my health care because I couldn’t pay $40 consistently each fortnight. I’m really desperate so that’s why I’m here. I hope you guys can help me restore all I’ve lost so I can get back on my feet to save up for my first car.

p.s. I’ve already contacted Apple. They haven’t been able to do anything, only report it and keep watch of that person.

I want to go home

My name is Christina and I’m 29 years young, I have a pretty good life with 2 sweet little dogs and a husband whom I love dearly. But today and many other days before I stood in my kitchen trying to hold back tears and failed and eventually was a blubbering mess bawling my eyes out alone in my kitchen. The thing that was getting to me so much was my longing for my family, I miss my sister and brother more than words can say and I haven’t seen them in over 5 years now. During that time my mother passed away suddenly and I never got the chance to say goodbye or to say I love you to her one last time or hug her and it has left a massive hole in my heart, I walk around day to day feeling empty and hollow with the longing for family, but with the cost of living here we can barely afford milk at the end of the week let alone buying plane tickets to go home all the way to canada, every idea I come up with to make more money seem to cost money to start up and I feel helpless and hopeless, for anyone who truly understands the true meaning of family and the pain you feel when you miss them, then will you please find it in your heart to donate any thing you can even a dollar would be make me so grateful, so that I can make it home and reunite with my family after all this time apart. I am hoping to raise 5000 dollars for flights to Canada from new Zealand

Trying to make a family

Im a 28 year old woman trying to conceive, there is no doubt you have heard a thousand of these stories of people who struggle, mine starts very young. at 18 years old I found out i had PCOS and did not ovulate, My partner and I were told very early in our relationship that we would struggle to conceive when we decided to start and the older I got, the harder it would be. So at 18 years old (partner 23) we begun trying, and here we are today still trying.

WE have had endless amounts of saving attempts and have made it within 500 of our goal to start an ovulation stimulation cycle, but have been hit with over the top bills and unfortunate situations every time. This time we want it to work, we want our tenth year trying to be our last year trying.

about us

Me – I am working as a casual housekeeper, which i guess its okay, its all i know but it doesnt cover a hole lot of bills which is where my partner picks up a lot

Partner – My partner works away, 2 weeeks away 1 week home in the mines, he earns just enough to support us but finds it hard to have extras left over, and when there is extras we spend it usually on small treats at really stressful times (mostly just movies and picnics)

 

we would honestly appreciate any any any help possible to help us finally get the family we have wanted for the past 10 years

 

Thankyou https://paypal.me/HannieM

Wish we could buy our sisters house

So, our story begins with Big Dreams and Wonderful intentions.. My husband & I have always wanted to buy our own home but always seem to struggle with the finacial stability required to even begin thinking of the possibility.

3 years ago, my sister-in-law offered us the opportunity to rent 1 of her 3 houses (the old miners hut in the mountains) at a very low cost as we were to renovate and fix it up as if it were our own. This was our sisters first home and she has brought 2 more properties since the miners hut. She lives in one with her husband and the other is strictly investment.

The arrangement went ahead, better than anyone had planned! My husband and I have made major improvements on the house and we have planted trees and established gardens around the yard.

However, this story and more so our lives took a turn for the worst at this point. Roughly 4/5 months ago, my husbands sister suffered a heart attack and received  multiple bypass surgery and required many other procedures afterwards. She is ok. She will never be the same again and has to take a minimum 12 months off work.

I don’t think I need to spell out the effects of a deathly illness on someones life. The unemployment, the mortgages, the food bill. Missing out on everything because you have to stay in bed and then praying you wake up from your next nap.

Pushed to her limit and desperate to make ends meet, she is reluctantly selling a house. Rightfully – not the investment property and not her home, but the old miners hut.

My husband and I understand her situation and reason for her decision but we are totally gutted and heartbroken as this house has been in the family for a long time and really feels like home to us.

I have never wished for something as much as I wish I could buy this house. Even when I was a little kid. If I could buy this house it would help our sister so much. Plus it’s still in the family, people can still come anytime but most important, my husband and I can finish our dream of renovating our own home but it would actually be ours this time.

To make the situation a bit more frustrating for us, the house is valued really quite low and is extreamely cheap for a first home buyer. It wouldn’t be hard to borrow the amount if you have a full time job and a clean credit historty. However, due to some poor finacial decisions in the past, this dream is out of reach for us and there is nothing we can do.

I know this is a long shot and probably will never work but like I said before, I’ve never wished for anything as much as I wish I could buy this house so I just have to try.

If it’s meant to be, it’ll be.

The house will go one the market within 2 weeks for $140,000.00 AUD.

If you have read this far, I thankyou for your time.

Laptop for uni

Hi,

My name is Zara and I will be starting university next year. I am an Australian student.

My mum is a single Mum who has to take care of me and my two younger brothers (12 and 10 years old). My dad left us 9 years ago for a younger women. My mum and I have been struggling with paying bills and grocery money. We only have a tablet, a cheap smartphone and a Nokia in my family. (We use internet in libraries)

Yes I do have a part time job at the moment which pays $18 per hour (I work for 5-8 hours per week because I have to study).

For uni I will definitely be on student loans since I don’t have enough money for education.

I just really wish I could have enough money to buy a laptop that will allow me to do research and  finish papers. It would be so much easier for me if I own one instead of borrowing public library’s computers.

I never asked for Christmas gifts, not even when I was a kid, but this year I really wish to have my own laptop…maybe a MacBook…it would be a dream come true.

I know that sounds like a silly dream, but coming from a poor family, it would be the most amazing thing that’ll ever happen in my life.

I am trying to save up to $5000 and I’m working really hard for it! (I’m on $120 at the moment)

Thank you to those interested in helping me to achieve my dream.

Going to Uni is my dream

Hello,

My name is Ariel and I am Australian student hoping to attend the University in America. I study music and I play the cello. I have been playing the cello since I was 5 years old.

Last year I got a place to Manhattan School of Music, and Eastman School of Music, but sadly I had to reject the offer because my family and I cannot afford it at all.

My family as in my mum and I. My dad divorced my Mum when I was 5 so he can remarry a 28 year old girl.

Going to America to study music is my biggest dream since I was six years old. I knew I wanted to be a musician then, and it hasn’t changed. Yet I was so close to it….the only problem is money… :(

As an international student, the costs are higher for me than a local American student.

Yes, I do have a part time job I go to on either Saturdays or Sundays for five hours that pays $17AUD per hour, and I try my ABSOLUTE HARDEST to reach my goal. But since I am a full time music student and my passion is music, I need to spend hours practicing to keep up with my standard.

I am trying to raise and amount of money that can allow me to finish the undergraduate degree in America (4 years). And of course I will work really hard!! I would be very grateful for your help in reaching this goal and achieving this dream of mine. I would also really appreciate it if you would forward this to your friends and family members.

My goal after achieving my dream is to get a proper job in orchestras or to teach young musicians, that will hopefully give me full income. I want to help people with their uni fees and/or achieving their dreams by donating them money, like how kind people have helped me when I had trouble.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to those interested in helping me in my education and achieving my dream, here is my PayPal:

Elliots fight against NKH only 1 in 50 million have it

 

A Rockhampton boy who was not expected to live longer than six weeks has miraculously celebrated his first birthday.

Elliot Silveri was diagnosed with a rare and terminal genetic disorder called nonketotic hyperglycinemia, or NKH, just weeks after he was born on March 22, 2016.

Despite the devastating diagnosis and doctors’ predictions he wouldn’t survive, ‘Superman’ Elliot is still alive and fighting harder every day, his mother Kristy Iles said.

It’s a huge relief, we’re so lucky and so grateful to have Elliot in our life and to have him fight as much as he has for a whole year,’ she told The Morning Bulletin.

‘It’s been exhausting, we’ve been to the hospital so many times and he’s had to fight again and again and every single time he just pushes through like the little superstar he is.’

Ms Iles said she and Elliot’s father, Michael Silveri, suspected something was wrong with their son within days of his birth.

Doctors were eventually able to pinpoint after an extensive series of tests.

‘I went numb I didn’t know how to react. I was hurt and felt a shattering pain in my heart. I have never felt a pain worse in my life as I felt in that moment,’ Ms Iles said.

As she educated herself on the disorder, Ms Iles said she spent the first few weeks of her son’s life ‘living every minute in fear, not knowing whether Elliot was going to survive and scared I may have to let go and say goodbye.’

NKH is an inherited condition which prevents the body from breaking down and processing amino acid glycine, which can block the pathways to the brain.

‘Elliot won’t eat and one day his brain might not tell him to breathe, so Elliot could pass away any day,’ Ms Iles told The Morning Bulletin.

The one-year-old, who depends on a concoction of medication to survive, is fed through a tube in his stomach and has seizures in hot climates.

Other symptoms of the disorder include sleeping more often, weak muscle tone, wandering eye movements, difficulty breathing and feeding.

NKH, which can be diagnosed any time from infancy to adulthood, also causes developmental delay.

Money For Education

20170115_150726.jpg

My name is Guy Dilu and I am the man in this photo. I come from Kundiawa town in the Simbu province of Papua New Guinea. I am currently living in Port Moresby, the capital city of Papua New Guinea. I was raised by my mother alone with my younger brother and four sisters. We experienced life’s hardships and struggles particularly in terms of money but managed to get ourselves to high school until after grade twelve when I had to agree with the fact that because of my mum being unable to pay my school fees for me to pursue my offer at the Papua New Guinea University of Technology, I would have to let that opportunity go and find other alternatives to make money like finding a part time job. I did find a couple of jobs here and there but whatever little I earned seemed to cater for my livelihood and I just couldn’t make enough money to fund my way into a tertiary institution. On the other hand, nowadays most companies and government institutions in my country prefer to employ people with certificates, diplomas, degrees, etc. and don’t really prefer a grade twelve school leaver. That is why I am seeking help so that I can complete my tertiary education after four years. The fees for one year is K5000 (5000 KINA) I can provide soft copies of my school certificates, etc. if required. I believe in myself to be a genuine person. Whatever assistance that comes my way will not be in vain. I will take your kindness and pay it forward. For your information I selected Australia to be my location because Papua New Guinea wasn’t in the list of options. Thanks a lot.

DentalSOS

Hello and to anyone reading this.
I never thought I would ever be in a position to beg for money it is embarrassing and humiliating. I am a single mum raising 3 children. I am used to going without, but unfortunately I find myself in a situation where I simply cannot go without, the pain is unbearable. Once my kids were older I trained in nursing, I was so happy to have a job I loved and all was well until my back just gave out one day at work. I got nothing from it other then a bad back for life, surgery and being on a disability pension.
Because of all the drugs (prescription) that I took for my back combined with gum disease my teeth have deteriorated to a state that I have been advised by many many dentist that they should ALL be removed. I was mortified, devastated and I have been clinically depressed ever since. Having full dentures at my age is a living nightmare. I cannot afford dental treatment of any kind. If I go through the public health system I have to be without ANY teeth for 12+ months before they could give me dentures. I feel like giving up on life altogether, its always been so hard, never having much of anything always struggling but all those things together with no teeth is more then I can bear.
I have tried every way possible to get a loan of any sort but nobody will lend me any money as I am on a disability pension. I would be happy to borrow the money I need and pay it back but have no friends or family who can help, believe me I have asked everyone I know. I am in so much pain from decayed/abcessess teeth that I am almost going crazy, I am desperate for any help I can get. I would be happy to share with anyone pictures, letters from dentists anything they need to see I am very sincere and honest. I have been suicidal over this, living with great pain, not only my back but now my teeth is no life at all.
I will need at least $5000.00 and that is only for dentures plus extractions, 10 top and 12 lower. Of course I would love nothing more then Implants but as they say beggers cant be choosers and I doubt I could ever raise $10,000.00+ to do that.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story. I appreciate ANY help I can get no matter how litte. In the meantime I am saving every spare cent I have but at the rate I am going it will take me 6-7 years and I cannot live in pain for that amount of time. Thank you again for understanding. Sometimes life is tough but I never thought it could be this bad.
I know there are others out there also in need of help but I am hoping and praying that someone decides to help me even if I arrange to pay them back. I dont know what else to do, its either try this or give up. paypal.me/DentalSOS

Please help me get back up

I know this is crazy but I’ve try everything and this is the one another platform of hope i can look for.

My name is Mina I am originally from Thailand but now live in Australia for the past 12years. I am 32 yrs old childcare worker and piano teacher. I am working 14hrs a day most of the time.

Just like everyone I am one looking for a better way to earn money and living life the way I wanted. I ran into one online business and it did look like a great opportunity for me. So I loaned $40,000 to invest into the business. But turned out it’s just one of the pyramid system and I ended up wasting my time and money into this. I tried to find some private lender to payout this debt as the interest from the bank is 10%. But to top it off I ended got scammed from many many people who call themselves “Genuine Lender”. I’ve lost over $2,000 into those scammers and now I’ve been behind the payment for my loan.

Now I have my own music school business but I need to get some money to buy some instruments. I cannot get any fund due to my current loan that still extremely overdue. All my usual payment got poured into loan repayment, rents etc.

And today I am here, 32 years old stuck with big loan and with no chance to get back up and start my own business soon. I have to avoid all the calls from the collector. I used up my saving, I start selling my things (even sign up for this discreet used panties for sale website hoping for extra cash)

That’s when I start searching for hope and I came across a website that give me this suggestion. I know that I have to try this and only hope that you can help me.

 

I hope miracle does exist and I can get some help from some of you.

With all my regards,

Mina (Puttawan) T.

Custody battle funds needed!

Thank you for taking the time to read our story. You’ve probably heard them all but we would greatly appreciate any and every donation. Your donations will change our lives, and especially the life of a beautiful little girl.

My partner and I are both 24, living together in Australia.  Living out of home when you are young is financially tough as it is, but lately our situation has made it even tougher. My partner has a beautiful 4 year old daughter, Olivia, from a previous relationship whom he loves with all his heart and soul. The break up between my partner and the mother of his child was sadly a very messy one. The mother essentially tried to stop my partner from seeing his daughter. Over the years there have been multiple times where we were concerned for her safety, and all we’ve wanted is for his daughter to be safe. After many many legal battles, we officially have full custody of his daughter! We are so happy because she is now safe with us. We could not be more grateful to have her in our lives. Officially, she will live with us full time in 2 weeks!

The past few years have been extremely difficult, trying to get her back. The pair of us have been working hard at our jobs, doing extra hours, overnights and even taking second jobs just to make sure we would have enough funds to fight this battle. Every sleepless night and extra hour has been 100% worth it to get her back.

Unfortunately as comes with these legal battles comes legal fees. As well we now have the additional purchases we need to make for her clothes, food, day care, bed and so many more things! Olivia has had so much happen to her in her young life, and we want to make the rest of her life as easy and care free as she deserves. She is such a brave little angel, and I’m sure everyone reading this agrees that she deserves some peace and happiness in her life

We are seeking funds to help us successfully make payments towards these legal fees, extra food, rent, day care and to give his little girl Olivia all the amazing things she deserves. We are so grateful to have Olivia back in our arms, so we want to make her young life the best it possibly can be!

Whilst we will obviously have ongoing bills, we believe an extra $5000 will really give us a safe head start to manage our additional finances and keep a roof over beautiful Olivia’s head. Every single dollar will be appreciate and taken towards our goal.

Please donate to the link at the bottom of the page. Thank you once again for taking the time to read; every donation is greatly appreciated and will be used towards the future of a beautiful 4 year old girl.

Much love, Emily and Nick xxx

Fund My Dreams

Dear readers,

I am seeking money in order to fund my future. It seems childish to call it a dream, however there are many things I have missed out on in my childhood due to family problems and the environment I grew up in. My family has never been rich, or even wealthy or well-off. My father was quite abusive both physically and verbally and he lost his job when I was around 10. During the time he was jobless, he attempted to start a business and ended up bankrupting our household. From when I was young, I had never done the things that ‘normal children’ would do: Watch TV, go on trips with family, play board games together, sport… the list goes on. Now as I am older, I realize how hard it is to do the things you want when you don’t have the money. I dream of going to Korea, Japan, Europe, America and all the countries in the world to sight see, attend concerts, get all sorts of odd jobs.

As I do not have the greatest family, I want to move out as soon as possible. However I do not have the money to buy or rent a home, which is why I am seeking for those who do have money to gift even just a little to me. Imagine you were in my shoes: scared, trapped, being held down for life and wishing to break free. Those who have, say, $100 thousand, $200 thousand, $1 million. It would not hurt to spare a little $100 or even more. To those who read my story and think, this person is lazy, and just wants money. That may be true, and I will not hate any of you who think that, but any sum of money would mean the world to me.

Need $1000 for vet bills for my single mother

Thank you for taking out your time to read my story.

About 6 months ago, I left my family home to move interstate and follow my career dreams. In doing so I left my single mother and our family cat to live alone. I felt awful leaving my mother, especially after she raised 3 children all on her own.

My mother has been struggling a bit living without her children or a partner. After being with people for so long, the sudden change has been really hard on her. But with our little beautiful family cat named Charlie with her, she seems to have been coping okay.

Recently my mother took our little man to the vet where we found out he had some cysts on his kidneys.  These can easily be removed by an operation however if we cannot remove them, he will get worse and worse before he passes. The operation itself costs over $2000 and my poor mother is an absolute wreck because she cannot afford the operation. With all the changes going on, she just needs our cat to stay alive a little bit longer.

Since I was the youngest child and the last to leave my mother, I feel a sense of responsibility to help her and our little man. I have some savings already which I plan to pour all of my funds into however with moving and being a new graduate, we just need another $1000 for our man.

This little cat means everything to my family. We got him from family friends as a gift for my mother. We had had cats before, but he was our male cat. We immediately fell in love with him. He has been through everything with us, including my family separating.  He means the entire world to us.

With all the changes in our family recently, my mother needs one constant thing. She needs our little man to be with her and make everything okay. I know not everyone can understand this, but for those who do, this cat is literally bigger than family.

I know there are lots of people on this site so we would greatly appreciate every little bit of funding.

Please help fund to not only help this beautiful boy, but also help give my mother so hope and company.

I greatly appreciate you taking the time to read my beg and all donations will help us.

I’ve dedicated my life to caring for our sick kids, now on a single income we need help to get married.. xxxx

DE032BD9-90AE-4F2B-B2E1-E63DF5635F84.jpegI have been unable to work a normal job since our oldest son was born.. he was born not breathing and had to be revived twice.. we finally got to take him home on day four, but on day five he ended up back in hospital for jaundice, which is where we discovered he had a super super rare heart condition that only 0.2% of the population will ever get.. it’s called Wolff Parkinson White Syndrome, he was having SVT’s which is where his heart would race out of control (303 beats a min – equivalent to 5 beats a second, so with the stethoscope you couldn’t hear a beat just a constant sound) and only able to be shocked back into normal rhythm via an i.v line being put in his vein and administered medication to shock it back into normal rhythm.. this happened hourly, we lived in a parent room for 6 weeks @ Flinders while the doctors trialled different medication until we finally found a heart medication called sotalol that would control his heart condition.. we could only get it from flinders compounding pharmacy.. he had to have it every 12 hours..

The Road of life was chaotic to say the least…. when he was about 2 years old and in childcare I went to pick him up @ 5pm when I got there he was lying on the ground and he looked to be sleeping I asked one of the carers why he was laying there on the ground(while kids were running all around him), they said he got upset about 45 minutes ago, laid down and went to sleep.. so I went over to pick him up to find that he was unresponsive.. I screamed for an ambulance.. (I can still hear the sound of the sirens coming and the sound of sirens taking us to hospital).. he was in a comber for 8 hours.. the only answer we got was his blood sugar levels were 2. something (extremely low) they put it down to his heart medication causing his blood sugar levels to drop and he went into a low blood sugar induced comber.. the doctor said if I hadn’t got there when I did he would have died.. the staff at the centre had special training to care for him but they just left him on the ground.. this was the beginning of not being able to work as who could I now trust with my precious sons life.. only person who I had to help us was my mum, who struggles with her health.. our life basically revolved around our son.. Finally February 2015 the Womans and children’s hospital and HeartKids SA flew us over to The Royal Childrens Hospital in Melbourne to have the heart surgery Jake needed.. Because of the rarity of his heart condition there was only one paediatric heart surgeon in Australia who could perform the operation.. His surgery was the longest 4 hours of our lives.. I couldn’t bare the thought of loosing him.. I cried watching them wheel him away on a hospital bed, my other half, our youngest son Jaxson and I just paced the hospital corridors.. we were lucky, he came out the operation with everything looking good.. it’s been 2 years since his heart surgery and so far everything still seems to be ok..

Our youngest son Jaxson has a condition where he can’t have antibiotics because it attacks his bowels and can kill him.. Jaxson was just learning to walk, which was just after his 1st birthday when all of a sudden out of no where he wasn’t able to walk, he wouldn’t crawl, he would just lay on a mattress in the lounge room.. I just thought he was getting a cold and was lethargic.. until we went to Mums and she laid him on the ground to change his nappy, once she’d changed him she then turned him over and placed him on his belly and tried to get him to crawl.. he just started dragging his body along the ground with one arm.. he was paralysed down the left side of his body.. he had been on antibiotics (first time ever) and this had caused the affect of attacking his bowels and in turn paralysed him(this is when we found out he wouldn’t be able to have antibiotics).. he was like this, paralysed for 2 weeks in hospital.. and with that, not being able to have antibiotics, he hasn’t been able to have them prescribed even when he is really crook and so he has been admitted into hospital several times because his cold has turned into pneumonia..

As you can imagine Flinders has been like a second home for us.. My beautiful other half works unbelievable hours to be able to support us, he’s up @ 5am, leaves for work between 5:30-6am and doesn’t get home generally til around 5-7pm..

I cry just writing that brief description of what has happened over the last 10 years.. it’s an emotional thing.. when Jake was older and was in kindy, I was driving to pick him up, I passed this childcare near woodcroft shops (which wasn’t his kindy) there was an ambulance in their car park.. even though it wasn’t Jakes kindy just seeing ambulances in a childcare car park sparked emotions of nearly loosing Jake in childcare.. when I got to Jakes kindy to pick him up I was bawling my eyes out because it just bought back a tonne of emotions.. just seeing an ambo in the carpark of a childcare killed me.. I was pregnant with our younger one Jaxson at that time..

But another situation which is worse than that, it was about a year or so ago when I was picking Jaxson up from his childcare and I went to pull into his childcares carpark but I couldn’t pull into the carpark as there was 2 ambulances blocking the driveway.. I had to park up the road.. My heart raced with thoughts of something having happened to Jaxson, I ran with all my might into the childcare, when I got inside the childcare all the kids were grouped in the one room.. I then spotted Jaxson who was fine and I dropped to my knees crying with relief.. I asked one of the staff what was going on.. They said a 2 and a half year old little girl just suddenly collapsed in the play yard and a member of the staff had to start chest compressions on her.. by the time I was there they had a crew of paramedics working on her.. as I walked my kids back the car, still crying, I looked back over my shoulder and I could see the paramedics doing chest compressions on the little girl.. I then seen them load her into the ambo and take off.. the childcare centre closed for a few days out of respect.. That little girl passed away.. it turned out that the little girl had a heart condition that no one knew about.. This hit home real bad because if I hadn’t taken Jake back to hospital for jaundice when he was 5 days old, we may have not known about his heart condition either and we may have lost him, he could have been in the same situation as the little girl, but we were lucky enough to have found his heart condition and have it controlled.. Undiagnosed Wolff Parkinson White Syndrome can end in SCD (Sudden Cardiac Death) which is what I think happened with the little girl at childcare.. it was an emotional time.. I was offered counselling by the childcare centre..

I would love the chance to be able to get us out of debt and be able to buy a bigger house.. we have definitely outgrown our home and don’t see it changing anytime soon.. I can’t see myself having any spare cash for a very long time.. I want to be able to give our family a better life.. It’s been rough for the last 10 years, I just wanna be able to give my boys a better life.. They are truly amazing kids and my other half is absolutely one of a kind.. when it came to Jakes heart condition and all that life has thrown at us he has always been the one who held us together.. He deserves to have a better life too, not working every single hour and missing out on seeing our boys grow up..

I can’t wait to marry my best friend, when people say that someone is one in a million, Ben is the definition of one in a million.. I don’t think I could have coped without him.. He is the best father, everything he does is for his kids.. He doesn’t see the kids as being a job, where other parents are trying to organise time without their kids, Ben is organising stuff to do with them.. Normally with no money at spare he can make any day a fun family day out.. We make sandwiches, jump in the car and go and do stuff like ride our bikes at the bike park, walk up the road to feed the ducks.. Even when it comes to our honeymoon, he can’t stand the thought of being away without them, so we will be having a family moon instead.. I love that man more than words can say..

To be able to have a budget wedding is going to cost a minimum of $10,000.. If we could get any amount to be able to start the ball rolling I’d be forever grateful.. xxxx

Trying to Keep Up

About three years ago with the market downturn, my wife lost her job and I got a pay cut. Since then we are living paycheck to paycheck some months we go a little backwards and others we just get by. From the beginning of this year, our utility bills have all gone up, but I have still not received a pay rise and my wife is still without work (despite endlessly applying). She is getting really down on herself and the whole situation is testing our marriage. I love her very much and want to find a way out of this hole. I’ve looked at selling our house, but the value has gone down since we bought it meaning we would be left in debt after the sale. Even if I can raise $5000, that will just give us a bit of breathing room to know that there is a buffer between a zero balance in our account and keeping up with our bills.

If anyone can help, that would be greatly appreciated.

Desperate for Rent Money!

Hello all,

 

I have never ever asked anyone for anything in my whole life, I have always worked hard for everything that I have in this life but today I am at the mercy of the good will of complete strangers. I’m a young recently widowed mother to a 15 year old boy. I work in the beauty industry and I also clean homes to make ends meet but the bills have swamped me this month and after exhausting all of my options (including selling my jewellery and valuables) I am at the last of my options and although I feel shame in begging strangers for money, I truly have no other way of coming up with the funds to pay my rent and keep a roof over our heads.

My husband was tradgically  killed in a horrific hit and run in November and since then life has been tough both financially and emotionally. I have been diagnosed with major depression due to my grief and I still try to power on through to survive and make sure I provide and attempt to make life as normal as I can for our son. This month I have  failed miserably and not through lack of trying..

If if you could please find it in your heart to help out a grieving mother in her most desperate time of need Id be forever grateful and so very humbled.

 

Much gratitude to you all

DESPERATE NEED OF HELP.. SMALL FAMILY

I’m not sure if it’s even possible but I’m taking the chance maybe someone out

there can help me with the situation I’m in.  This is very embarrassing due to

having a business and all was going good but suddenly things turned upside

down for me.  I don’t want to lose my business. I have a restaurant that has

been open for 10 years and this year from Nov.2017 thru the second week of

March 2018 all has gone downhill due to bad weather causing a slow customer

base. I’m in a terrible financial crunch and need money to pay what has gotten

behind.  I tried getting a loan but I’m over extended and was turned down.

If someone could help me I will forever be indebted to them. I have always

given to others and helped those in need, did fund raisers at my restaurant for

those with medical needs and can’t believe I’ve found myself now struggling to

make ends meet. If you knew me you would know how hard this is for me. I’ve

hit rock bottom to come out to ask for help and feel so ashamed to ask but I

have no other choice but to ask.  My husband died three years ago and I never

had to worry about household expenses because he took care of all that because

he had a good job, good salary ,etc. I took care of my business with funds from

the business but now find with him gone things have caught up with me ,bad

weather and trying to keep up financially trying to pay for business expenses,

household expenses that are on my shoulders without my husband. I’m so

scared and not sure how to go about this except to just ask if someone out there

can help.

I wish someone would be in feel with my situation and help. Even a small amount can make a difference.

Thanks

Need Computers For 3D Modeling Students

Computers For 3D Modeling Students

Dear All:

Engaging students in programming, 3D Modeling and technology is one of the most important factors in creating tomorrow’s workforce.

3D Modeling is a program that addresses this issue. Through hands-on activities, mentoring, presentations, and behind-the-scenes field trips, students discover the world of design, engineering, real world applications and software. The participants are then challenged to identify a problem or opportunity and design a solution. Students present their designs to their peers and community in a design and engineering fair.

3D Modeling will be offered to students as an elective. Participants are typically students in grades 7-10 that have expressed an interest in the program. Currently there have been over 150 requests to join the program.

The manner in which 3D modeling can change the world may also be evaluated basing on the influence that it poses on the clothing industry. The clothing industry can utilize 3D scans of consumer’s bodies to produce custom-designed accessories and garments that are a perfect fit to the consumers. Certainly, this will have a colossal influence on various industries that are closely aligned with the clothing industry such as the fashion industry.

On another note, 3D modeling has the potential of changing the world in that it offers a comprehensive platform that enhances the quality of life of humans. 3D modeling has proven to be potentially beneficial in the healthcare contexts whereby it has been utilized to produce replicas of human body organs. 3D modeling has been utilized to make artificial kidneys, skin, and the human heart, which can be useful for persons whose organs have failed. For this reason, 3D modeling can be essential, in improving the quality of life of individuals whose organs have failed. In addition, application of 3D modeling in the context of health has the potential of increasing the life expectancy of humans in that it saves countless lives that are on the verge of death. We are teaching how to save lives by utilizing technology.bio.jpg

This program requires resources, such as computers, displays, software and graphics cards.

See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pbPqWaDuVY to find out what graphics cards are.

We would like to request your assistance in providing this opportunity to the students. Any donation large or small will help. Your sponsorship would be greatly appreciated.

If you have any questions or would like additional information, please contact Alexander Cafarella at cafarellaalex@gmail.com

Ms Anxious in need of kind strangers

I have done something so stupid, embarrassing and now costly, I’m not sure what to do, or were to turn but I find myself here at the mersey of strangers. I have nobody to ask for help. I will tell you my story and you may understand why.

So grew up in Australia in a family of six, two older siblings ( that I’ve never been close to) & I have a younger sister whom I’m very close with. We didn’t really grow up together as such, my mum was institutionalised in a mental institution for long periods of time. I can’t really elaborate any more than that as it was a well kept family secret away form us kids – I didn’t find out until my teens the truth.
So during the times mum was “away” the oldest 2 lived with my dad and my sister and I lived with my mothers mother. The first time dad dropped us off I was young not yet at school – he just said it your job to look after your sister and left. My younger sister Debi is disabled and I adored her & still do she is everything to me, so took that role very seriously, it was a hard one though my grandmother was cruel to us both but in particular my sister. She would torment us, me by being cruel to Debi, sometimes even pulling her hair, walking past and hitting her for no reason, if anyone tried to speak to my sister my grandmother would say don’t bother she won’t understand, she’s queer.
Debi understood love and kindness & she understood cruelty too.
When we lived with my dad, he was an angry alcoholic. He’d put us down constantly useless and stupid were his favourites sometimes he’d get more abusive and foul with his language but I think you get it. With my dad it was verbal abuse and I seemed to cop it more than my sister, he’d say things like you’ll never get married, you can’t love something that can’t be loved. If it wasn’t directed at Debi I was fine. As I said I’d do anything for her.
We started school together and Debi & I were joined at the hip somehow back then we were in the same classes & year. Then the worst thing happened Debi was sent to a special school. And she boarded my dad would drive us it was a day trip in the car from were we lived and I’d fight him all the way from the back seat pleading that I could look after her. Promising I’d do everything I was told.
I remember being missable and alone at school, without her I had no one. In truth I don’t think I wanted anyone else. But after a year the best possible thing happened, dad couldn’t afford the school so she came back! mum was back too we had to move to a different town & we went to a school were Debi had special classes. When I say mum came back she was in bed a lot & we weren’t aloud to disturb her.
It was during this time I had my first experience of what I wouldn’t find out was an anxiety attack until I was in my early 20’s. It was the day I walked into my new school all of a sudden, my legs felt like concrete and they started to shake I was hot all over and the world began to spin, I vomited. It happened again that year at a school excursion and again at school one lunchtime I just suddenly became overwhelmed and the world would seemed like it was closing in on me.
These episodes became more & more regular as time went on. So I didn’t socialise or play sport or do anything that a kids did, and I didn’t do sleep over as I was a bed wetter. What I did do was worry about everyone & everything. I felt very isolated and alone.
By the time I was a teenager my anxiety had become something I experienced most days. I’d found out were mum was going when she was “away” I thought I had my answer I was crazy too. I’d really didn’t want to be locked up, sent away for long periods of time and I was terrified so it became my tight lipped secret. Each time mum would come home she lost more and more of herself. I’d just have to live with my craziness & keep it well hidden.
My high school years were horrible isolated alone I felt so worthless and ugly. I didn’t have many friend or other students that even knew who I was. I do remember being spat at in the face by one of the popular boys and teased about my ugly secondhand clothes.
I started working at a local restaurant when I was 14, I would wash dishes on weekends & during school holidays. It was my perfect job, hidden out of sight isolated and I didn’t have to wear nice clothes. So at 15 nearly 16 the owners son was home from University. He was so cute and he was with a friend. They were so nice to me and I wasn’t use to it at first I thought it was so weird these two cool guys talking to me. They had been out and arrived just as I finished my mopping the floor I said goodnight to everyone. Then the two guys were sitting with my boss, I said goodnight and the two men said they would walk me home being so late. I said I’d be fine. But they insisted. They both turned & looked at my boss, she agreed I was to be walked home.
I was extremely nervous and hardly spoke or made eye contact. It was late at night and half way home the bosses son pushed me to the ground and raped me. I tried to fight but he was so strong. I have no idea to this day what the other guy was doing or were he was. I didn’t ever go back to work. I was in so much pain I’d been torn down there & it hurt so much. I stayed in bed crying. I told no one.
I’d just say I was sick.
I went back to school but couldn’t focus on anything, my grades dropped dramatically. My anxiety got worse now I couldn’t be around men on my own. I wouldn’t go to a male bank teller, I’d never go to a male teacher only in public or if others were there, and I became a recluse hiding away from the world.
Fast forward to my early 20’s. I had finished school got jobs as kitchen hand & cleaning. Still vey alone isolated & sad. I decided it was time to go and see someone I was ready to be locked away.
I went to a phycologist who cost me ½ of my wage. I sat down told her of my symptoms and she said I had anxiety that it was very common. I looked at her confused I’m not going to a mental institution.
She laughed & said no. I could only go a few times because of the cost. But I put everything in practice she said. But it was a very long road.
As for men I was still scared, I’d have to be very drunk to be intimate with someone.
I met a policeman in my mid 20’s I thought he would protect me he was so kind and gentile when I met him. He really swept me off my feet. I even got taken away on weekends, given flowers. I was so excited he was amazing everyone loved him. But 3 months in things started to change I think it started with a put down, here & there, slight tones that he was displeased. Then somehow I blinked and it was full mental & physical abuse. Why did I stay ? Because more than anything I wanted to be loved. The thought of being alone was frightening. Eventually he left me for another woman. I was left trying to put myself back together. I moved back to my parents home and everyday I’d sleep drink some water and slept some more pick at food. Then I started watching Oprah and in particular remembering your spirit. I think Oprah may have saved my life.
I got a job, then a better one, then a better one I’d push through the anxiety. It was harder to push through the depression. I was now diagnosed with clinical depression.
I wrote a list of all the things I wanted to do and one of them was to live closer to the beach. I moved to a town on the beach & cleaned the rich peoples houses for money. Then I got a job at a factory.
My first day was terrifying I started to have an anxiety attack, I had never worked in a big place before with heaps of people about. It was so overwhelming. I was so scared but I was trying so hard. I needed this job too. So I said to my supervisor I’m not feeling very well. He’s reply you want the job or not. I went to the bathroom and threw up. I stayed. Everyday that’s was my routine anxiety all the way to work throw up, clock on. And then eventually everything went well I got a couple of promotions I worked hard. I was so grateful to have a job.
Then the biggest miracle of all happened I met a man that I was comfortable with mid 30’s and I could talk to him. We became friends I even went out for drinks ! I tried not to get my hopes up, but I think it was too late. He made me laugh so much he was perfect, in my eyes. One day he asked for my number I was so nervous I could hardly write it down or remember it.
Was it finally my turn, was I going to have all those things I’d dreamt of, a man that loves me that won’t hurt me. I was in a spin but for the first time ever a good spin. I’d watched everyone around me meet people, have weddings, have babies build a life together. It was something I believed I could never have. He picked me up in his Ute & yes I was nervous. We went to the beach and it was perfect, he was perfect. After a few weeks we hadn’t kissed so I thought we were just friends. I was hoping for something more but if it was friends so be it. Then it happened he dropped me off said I think you should be my girlfriend & kissed me. He left and I could stop bawling I’d never been so happy. Me! I had someone I was so exited. We hung out I guess we did all the things couples do. I asked him to meet my sister & he said no. This concerned me but I didn’t let it upset me. I explained how much she meant to me. He started to become more concerned with money & how much I had. I had nothing an old car my furniture. He accused me of wanting him for money. I didn’t I was 100% in love fist time in my life. So to prove it I payed for everything. I didn’t care as long as I had him. Because in my mind we were going to be forever.
I wanted to spoil him so if he said he wanted something I’d buy it for him. If we went away I’d pay for everything. I was so happy. He said he didn’t want to get married but he would be with me forever I was fine with that.
He wanted to go away on a holiday overseas I said I didn’t have enough money. He was disappointed but I was always careful with money as I had never had a high paying job so I slept on it. So the next day I applied for a credit card.( Without telling him)We went on a holiday, not overseas on a road trip. I also bought nice clothes and makeup I wanted to look pretty, for my man.
I had every intention of I started paying it off but I was also spending money on us. So I’d pay for everything as much as I could food, bills, spending money ect. At this stage I got a loan for $20,000 and I was using it so he didn’t think I wanted him for money.
We were talking one night and he said he’d never wanted children. I said I really did. He said it wasn’t up for discussion. Don’t forget I’d never had anyone really before my second relationship so I thought all this was normal. I loved him I resided to the fact that, I wouldn’t have children. I adored everything about him. I was happy in love, I felt like it was all too good. I couldn’t believe what was happening. I was in love, by this stage late 30’s and starting my life like a normal person. None of my family had met him & I still didn’t know his. If I asked about family he’d change the subject. He’d tell me bits and pieces but nothing much. I hadn’t told him about the anxiety, depression my mum. It was like I was so happy it didn’t matter. I was looking forward not back.
He became very cold and distant. I was begging god not to let me screw this up. He started flirting with the young girls at work. During this time he got a promotion and was going really well. He invited others from work. We had dinner and drinks to celebrate. I overheard someone say I can’t believe he’s going out with her. I looked at him and he was talking to a pretty blonde girl. He looked great that night I’d bought him a shirt and jeans and everyone was complementing him. I was turning back into the clumsy fumbling idiot once again. I was finding it hard to breath in the room. Anxiety again. I hardly ate I could barely drink. I just sat there with my glass in my hand like I was a rabbit in the spotlight watching my world fall apart. I had a feeling I wasn’t going to be in the picture long.
So I tried to do everything I thought I should do cook clean, tell him how wonderful he was & how much he meant to me. I got more credit cards more gifts. He hated me. It was like he was repulsed every time I was near him. I wasn’t aloud to touch him. I went to kiss him one day he pushed me away from him, get off me he said. I felt like I was a dirty disease.
It was Christmas and I got all of his favourite things, I wanted him to feel loved & special. It took me hours to write the card I told him him much I loved him. He wanted out. I wanted him forever.
It was New Year’s Eve and he was working I was not, I found out by accident that production has stopped because of a breakdown being New Years Eve they’d let everyone go home, I called no answer I called again he answered. He was at the pub drinking I could hear girls in the background, even though my heart sank. I thought I’d let him have fun with his friends, I knew most people that would be there. I just asked him if he’d come home at midnight. I never told him but I’d never had a New Years kiss before, ever. So I waited up I was super excited my first kiss at New Years Eve, even better it was with the man I loved. At 11.40 I sent a message I’ll see you soon right. There was no reply. I watched New Years Eve on TV all around the world. I watched as others were so happy, with the people they loved, their partners, friends family and they were having fun. He came home an hour late I looked at him I could smell another girl on him her perfume, lipstick, and I could see it in his face, he knew I knew as well. He turned and walked out. Without a word it ended.
My heart was smashed once again the depression& anxiety soared through the roof. This time I was on medication 3 times the average dose of anti depressants.
My bomb of a car broke down beyond repair. At this time I got a car as I really needed to get to work $20,000 it was at high interest. I went through a broker and he organised it all, I picked up my car it was the first nice car I had. So my life became get up, anxiety work, eat, cry, sleep, pay depts. Even on my days off I sometimes didn’t get out of bed or eat.i was so sad my heart hurt so much.
They changed my role at work and I worked with a man that hated me. He’d yell swear verbally attack me, I went to HR they said perhaps I should find another job. I’d be in tears all the time and I was so hated. I was a grown women being teased & picked on at work financially I was stuck.
Here I was yet again no one to help me, anxious alone and with suicidal thoughts. But I had to be here for my sister, I loved her far too much to ever leave her. It was when I went to visit her I decided once and for all I needed help. So I started counselling. I got demoted at work as I was told I couldn’t work with others. The guy that bullied me was mates with the boss and the succeeded in demoting me. He on the other hand was promoted. He has a few female favourite co workers that like to torment me, as they know I have no one to go to. So that’s my background worts and all.

However this is what I really really need help with I have been going to a therapist and was feeling good. I won’t ever have my own family, or a partner, but I’d decided that I could be happy looking after my mum, my sister & id make that my life, ensuring they are ok. I’d work hard pay off my depts.
Then I had a car accident that involved another car. I was at fault, the man was really lovely that I hit. Everything was going to be ok, I was insured so I thought, everything was fine. I rang my insurance company and I am not. It was shocking to hear I was beside myself. I looked back over everything and I had stuffed up. In my mental haze of depression and anxiety I had totally not got my insurance, I didn’t have any at all.
I have to repair the mans car that I hit and my own if possible. The estimates I have are $17,000AU the total I owe on everything is $64,900AU.
I really really want to do the right thing by the person I hit, to pay for all his damage. So I’m begging please help me. I am going to ask for my dept money too. For one to get me out of work. I can’t handle the harassment. The next part is I need an operation on a lump that has formed in my head, it’s not cancerous but it need to be removed & a second operation on my female bits. I just can’t afford to have either done.
I have never asked for help, and now I’m pleading for it.
I bless everyone that reads this, it’s ok if you don’t donate to me I will still bless you & wish you well in this life. If you do donate I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I can’t put into words what it would mean to me. Not having to face my bullies, my ex and perhaps being able to afford medication. I wish you all well.

In Over My Head!

I don’t ever really expect you to read this at all, you’ve got a lot to go through, but it’s always better to try.

I never thought I would get to this point, I’d hoped I wouldn’t, I feel helpless and defeated.

I’m in over my head at the moment in debt everywhere I look, constantly having to be supported by my incredible parents who are actually struggling a lot themselves.

I have a dream for my future, but at the moment I can barely make it half way through a month without having to borrow for transport to and from work and to purchase 2-minute noodles.

Today I mixed flour and water, homemade damper, for my days meal, tomorrow I’ll have… some noodles.

I’m beyond devastated at this point.

Please, help me take this life ruining burden off my shoulders, so I can breathe again, so I can start enjoying life again.

I know it’s a lot, I understand that there are a lot of people who send these through.

The number of things in life I just can’t enjoy anymore, I’ve lost my zest, lost it real good.

I know that I got myself into this, at the time it was necessary so that I could survive and study 10 hours away from my family, now, 2 years down the track, and I can barely stay afloat.

With a $50,000 loan, 2 x $5000 credit cards, $3000 owed to Telstra and $500 for 3 months overdue on energy bills… where do I go from here, I barely earn enough to live through the month let alone paying off all of this.

Every time I think I’m getting somewhere, taking a step closer to my dreams, it’s lingering over me reminding me that at any moment I may not have the freedom to go on, that I may be forced to move back to the country and forget all I’ve been working for. I’ve become depressed and gained weight and my health is plummeting, I’m trying my hardest to keep pushing on, but It’s just too much. I know It’s a long shot, But I’m at a breaking point, and I’m scared of both losing who I am and disappointing mum and dad, I want them to be proud and I want to be proud of myself. Please help me, please.

 

Have a nice day!

Warmest regards,

Brae. Xx

We dedicated our lives to helping animals, and now we need your help!

Hello,

We are a married couple in Australia. We were running a successful animal rescue, we rescued cats and dogs from death row and homelessness – vet treated them, socialised them, cared for them and then adopted them for heavily reduced prices to loving families. We did this because we loved what we were doing.

However doing this for 2 years, while being newly weds and trying to live our own lives caused us to get into debt.

Not only do we owe $20,000 on credit cards from funding the rescue out of our own pocket for so long, but we also have our car loans which we were required to get a new vehicle to transport these animals and we have our student loans which we acquired studying to better ourselves for our future.

We don’t regret getting ourselves into debt, but now we are a married couple, our rescue has shut down due to lack of funds (we saved 200 animals and found all of them new homes) and we are looking to settle down, buy a house and have children.

Due to our debt we cannot see ourselves doing this for years, we both work full time and work our buts off but it gets us no where.

Please help us.

Praying for a change

My name is Khloe I am a 33 year old single mother of 4 of the most beautiful children. I am truly blessed every day with the unconditional love that comes with being a mum.

I have a 14 year old son, a 10 year old daughter, a 7 year old son and a 6 month old baby boy.

We are in accommodation for women and children who have come from Domestic violent relationships. This accommodation is only temporary and we have to find our own rental property.

Finding a rental property is not the problem. There’s plenty of them around.

Our problem is having the money to be able to move into a rental property.

Due to the circumstances that surrounded us ending up in the situation we are in we have no furniture, no car, no house… We vurtuvirt each have a small suitcase with some clothes and that is it.

My children’s father was a very violent and abusive man in the 15 years we were together. I suffered numerous broken bones, fractures and bruises. My children suffered some physical abuse but mostly mental abuse. It was only a matter of time before he did something worse.

We need to be able to pay for the bond on a rental property and buy some furniture.

I would like to be able to buy a cheap car as well

Any help would be a blessing and we wiuwo be forever grateful for your kindness.

We just need a new start. A place to call home

 

 

Thank you

Save our house please

I find this to be so hard to ask for help I’m more used to helping others than receiving  help but it is time for me to swallow my pride and realise that it’s time to ask for help. To save our home we need $58000 I know this is a lot of money and you may ask how we managed to get ourselves into this huge hole.

There are four of us in our family my husband me and our 2 children Sammy 5 Maddie 3. Our finances really started to suffer when Sammy was born he had a pretty traumatic birth and had to stay in special care for 5 days we finally were allowed to take him home but 4 days later he went blue on us and we rushed him to emergency he required quite a lot of resuscitation and it took the Doctors and Nurses 7 hours to get him stable enough to get him to the children’s hospital over an hour away. No one thought he would survive but he proved them wrong it turns out that he had a narrowed aorta and would require surgery to fix it which he had the next day at 10 days old. It was successful but his ordeal left him with some developmental delays in his speech and motor skills mostly he requires early intervention that helps him but he is still behind his peers. He has always required extra care which has made it difficult for me to work as he is very attached to me.

We tried to keep up with everything but there was never enough money to go around I thought I could do it all and tried to please everyone but ended up prioritizing the wrong bills then unfortunately our bank and us could never come up with something that would work for both parties so the problem has just continued to grow. I really need to keep our roof over our head we have no where to go I have never rented and in my area unless you have rented you don’t get into a rental around here. I really would appreciate any help we can get thank you for listening
