Begging Money

Financial Hardship Help

Last Updated:

Hello friends, any help appreciated

Hello!

My name is Anastasia Bushby, I’m from Melbourne, Victoria, Australia and I’m 18.

I lived with my Dad, Mum, 4-year-old sister and my dog Orlando. But recently, I have been kicked out. you see, my parents are the smartest or nicest people in the world, they are what most people would call “Junkies”.

They kicked me out about a week ago for “not paying rent” because my parents are the only god damn parents in the world who makes their child pay rent…

I haven’t been able to work for a bit over 9 months due to a work-related injury where I broke my knee in half, it was broken in 4 different places and I still can’t walk properly and the idiots i was working for ((McDonald’s)) denied the whole thing, meaning I don’t even get covered for my injury. when I’m 21, I’m going to need a knee reconstruction but they can’t do it at the moment due to me still growing which is a massive pain because i would like to get back to work.

for the past week, I’ve been living with my best friends, but her mum is saying I can’t stay much longer. I’ve gone into Centrelink ((A government-funded organisation who basically gives out money like disability payments)) and they have said they can organise something

the catch is, it will be over 2 months before I can get anywhere, so here I am now, begging random strangers on the internet for money. I feel dodgy doing it but it’s the only thing that I can currently think of.

There are so many things that I need, such as a house, food, furniture, money for medication, and a new phone, and that’s only the icing on the cake, I need

so yeah, that’s me, if you could donate to a good cause that would be nice, but I also do realise how dodgy it looks for me to be asking for money on the internet but you gotta do what you gotta do

Drowning In Debt – No Way Out. Please Help!

Honestly, I just need help.

As a 22 year old this is very overwhelming and I cannot see a way out for me.

2018 was an extremely rough year.

To start the year off my parents (after 30 years of marriage) divorced. It was very hard to see our once happy family unit all separated and hostile but it was even more hard to be heavily involved in their fights and divorce. My father ended up drinking far too much alcohol and then abusing my brother and I for things that my mother had done because she wasn’t around to tell off. It all became to much and my brother ended up moving away and ceasing contact with us. I ended up attending counselling as the abuse and the change became to much to handle on my own.

The fear of my parents hurting one another and the stress and sadness of the whole situation caused sleep deprivation which made me constantly anxious and sick. I ended up having a lot of time off of work as well as mental breakdowns at work due to this until I ended up losing my job.

Both the stress of my family drama and the fact that I had lost my job due to my inability to deal with the situation caused a lot of strain on my relationship. I would referee my parents fights, argue with them and then go home in a terrible mood and fight with my fiance of 8 years. In the end this became to much on him that he ended up leaving. I then had no source of income to pay my bills, rent or University fees. I went over the limit on all of my credit cards in the hopes that I could continue my education and keep my home but I have now reached the end of the road.

I have now lost my car, ceased my education and am facing losing my home if I can’t catch up on my overdue rent.

My goals are to pay up the debt that I owe, re-commence my education, find employment to support myself and create a life for myself free of negativity. I hope that one day soon I will be in a position to help others in my situation. I look forward to the day that I can pay it forward.

I would like to thank you in advance for the kind donations. There are no words to describe my appreciation. Thank you!

New Baby – Lost Job

At the end of October 2018 we got some really exciting news – we are having a baby. This is our miracle baby, what most people call the rainbow baby after many miscarriages and reproductive trouble.

Fast forward to yesterday 31/1/2019 – everything had been going so well, we were saving and buying things for the new baby and basically managing our money pretty well. Then a blow to the employment side of everything, this company who has decided without evidence to reduce hours from 80+ per fortnight to under 16 hours due to circumstances undisclosed by the employer. there is no unfair dismissal case due to the fact they have been smart enough not to fully dismiss.

We now face the prospects of not being able to pay rent and bills next week, not to mention the upcoming specialist appointments for our 10 year old son who is facing liver failure. Add to this the ongoing costs of preparing for a new baby and providing basic necessities for a family we are struggling.

When I say we, I mean myself and my partner (boyfriend) we don’t currently live together due to financial burdens, we were saving and planning on becoming a family closer to the birth of the baby, However now it looks like we are not going to be able to be together financially or physically. My baby will come home to a fatherless house, and my boyfriend will have to leave his baby because we simply can not afford to be together unless one of us is working. I am trying to obtain employment but who wants to employ a pregnant lady, and after the baby is born it is not humane or practical for me to return to work within days of birth.

 

We don’t need much, just enough to get through the next few months so we can stay on our feet and not fall into a financial cesspool. We are not lazy bludgers, every day we apply for every job we can find that suits our skills and qualifications. So far our efforts have resulted in 1 interview and many many rejections.

Years of abuse had enough

im 55 years old , I have 1 son at home about to go to University in sept.

i have lived  with my husband for 10 years married for 6 , of course like any relationship it started wonderful , then as time went on , trying to work hard look after my son and husband I realised nothing was good enough for him constant criticism the look the anger when dinner wasn’t ready the silent treatment for sometimes weeks at a time acting like I don’t even exist, the abuse calling me names when I try to get him to talk telling me to f….. off no one wants you . The trapped feeling taking and hiding the car keys when he’s in one of his moods the vile gestures . Always being aware that he could go off in one of his moods . Anxiety stress nerves.

not knowing if I’ll be able to get to work living in a rural environment, no public transport the humility I feel when I have to say to my employer I’m sick because I can’t get to work . Only having enough money for food control is what he’s about ,struggling whether I can buy this or that or put fuel in the car hoping the tank will get me to work and manage till pay day . The control over the car the money never being able to save .

he has three houses rented out I clean them at end of tenancy and contact repair people when and if they are needed . Painted cleaned up the gardens  checked the properties every 6 months .

Then when I want to leave he won’t let me live in one of the properties, won’t let me give notice won’t let me have car keys won’t let me have any money  I desperate need to get out yet I have no money to pay for a deposit or rent to get into a place to escape him and then divorce him and get the share I deserve my son deserves we are unhappy tense and the atmosphere in the house is instantly turned cold when he walks in the door , no happiness laughter joy . Just criticism, and disappointed looks yet he says he loves me . No he needs me as a cook cleaner and everything else . I’m sad lonely and want to feel free and sing and leave stuff about invite friends over jump about dance oh how wonderful that would feel . Help me escape and get s place of my own to start over with my son and me living not existing .

Thank you

I hope to one day start a charity myself for women like me who just need that little financial help to escape .

 

Thank you you for your time  xxxxxx

4, almost 5 months since redundancy and still unable to find any kind of work!

Hello everyone, thanks so much for taking the time to hear my case.

I’m 24 and live around 15 minutes from the Brisbane CBD. I’ve been working full time for the past 4 years and I’ve been in the job market for 8 years. However, in my last role I was employed full time for just over 6 months before being made redundant.

In the past I had not had any issues finding employment, but now I am really struggling. I’ve had my resume looked over and I customise my cover letter for just about every role I apply for.

When I realised after a month of not getting any interviews I started branching out to jobs that were further away, casual, full time, part time, contract, whatever I could find. I’m sending out upwards of 150 job applications out every week. Nearly all of these jobs I am strongly qualified for.

Since my redundancy, I have had two interviews – TWO!

I had to extend my financial hardship on my car loan for another 3 months which lets up in May and they will not extend again. I have $4 to my name and roughly $200 of bills every month (not including rent) that need to be paid – mostly pet, car and family insurances.

I owe my partner about $2000 in rent. Centrelink won’t give me a dime, and that’s fine. I tried asking for a healthcare card so I could at least continue to study and afford my medication and they laughed me out the door.

I have never felt more desperate in my entire life, and I feel dirty even putting myself out on the internet to others to ask for help, but even a little goes a long way.

I have constant mental breakdowns and cry over the fact that I don’t think I’ll ever be able to dig myself out of this financial hole :(

 

My paypal is PayPal.Me/olithela

Please don’t be offput by me not including my real name in my paypal link, it is my online alias. You can find me on twitch and youtube (which I’ve been doing to make myself feel at least a bit productive) if you would like to confirm I am a real person, but I am not here to plug that. I need legitimate help and I appreciate any and all support I may be able to get more than you may ever know or understand.

Lost and depressed

Hello everyone, my name is Melanie. I’m 34 and have a 12 year old son and 2 dogs and a cat. I’m in a real tough time right now and I need some help to get back on my feet. Last October I lost my job. I was replaced by the owners daughter. 3 weeks after losing my job my partner walked out on me and I was 1 week into my work placement for my course. So in 3 weeks I lost my job and income and the relationship and his income. My son was also being bullied at school and having school refusal. I was so stressed out I had a nervous breakdown. I had to put my practical placement on hold for a month to get to a point of not having panic attacks. In November I returned to my placement and managed to get through it however I really struggled. I now have assessments due to finish the course but I’m suffering major depression and anxiety still as I feel so lost and afraid because I don’t have enough money to pay all my bills and debts. I’m trying to pay for all the bills, food, fuel, animals and my sons needs on welfare. My car needs fixing. I have no money to do anything. I can’t even put fuel in my car. I am trying to find a job but I also need to finish this course and I’m at the tail end of it however I’m just so depressed and anxious about bills. Sometimes it gets so much I just cry and want to not be alive anymore. If anyone can please help me so I can pay my bills for the next month so I can get my final assignments completed so then I can use this new qualification to find a better job. I have no energy due to my major depression and I’m losing weight. I just need a little help to help push me over the finish line. I am extremely grateful for anything that anyone can provide. I feel such shame right now even writing this. I can’t believe I even am doing this right now but it’s my last resort and I have nowhere to turn. From the bottom of my heart and soul, please help me and thank you for taking the time for reading my post. Thank you from the bottom of my heart if you donate to me.

Trying to sort my life out…

Hello to anyone reading this.

Im sure it had been said many times over but writing this is one of the hardest things I’ve had to do and I truely feel like I have hit rock bottom.

I recently went through a long term relationship melt down and was left high and dry with debts I wasn’t financially able to deal with solo. I have spent the past few months slowly making things work and getting myself into a Better position and for the most part this has worked until recently.

I have pushed and stretched all of my bills and rent to a point in which they refuse to give me any more time to get things in order and unfortunately due to this I am unable to get a loan to consolidate it all. In all honesty i have worked it all out to be in roughly two months time I would be up to date and back on my feet. But sadly they do not want to give me that two months. My reality is threatening to evict me and my phone will be shut off which I need for my job. If this happens I do not know when or how I would be able to get back on my feet.

I do not expect anything for nothing and would be more than happy to pay anyone’s kindness back. But please if you can assist in any way I would greatly appreciate it.

Lack of income.

My name is Thomas Knight-Wagener, I live with my grandparents, I am 27 years of age and am a qualified fitter/machinist (dead trade). Trained in Australia in mechanical engineering, I excelled and completed extra study to ensure my employment once I had completed my apprenticeship, I have a “Cert. IV mechanical engineering tradesperson” one level above the Cert. III, I am regarded as a “technician” not a tradesperson… Having trained in computer aided design, pneumatic, hydraulic and all other basic fundamentals of the fitting and machining job aspects; such as manual lathe work, gear cutting, grinding, machining and even have training in fabrication and can execute on my designs. None of it helped me secure employment, coming from a broken home in the ghetto of Western Australia, Kwinana. Not even when I came back to my home country of New Zealand and completed extra education in the field of engineering. Although a booming industrial district, the entire region was and probably still is riddled with crime and not so appealing members of society. My mother was one such being, she still is now, I live next door to her on her parent’s property in a little place (hardly a home at 23m squared floor area)  I designed myself. She had 2 houses and rented out 1 to a meth junky, the other one she destroyed by herself with her boyfriend, an ex-bikie from the “Coffin Cheaters”, all the while I am looking after my younger brother and even younger half-brother. Putting up with her abuse and being around junkies constantly, I got to smoking pot and still smoke, if I can; as it helps. Luckily I had tried some white powder one day after finding it underneath the clothesline by making a little brass pipe out of fittings… however, upon inhalation and the resulting effects I was put off by it, never tried anything like that again, except acid 3 times now. During these dark days I grew into the watcher and carer, it has left me in a state where I am still looked at as the “Father” and find myself, even to this day, 12 years later, doing things for my Brothers and Mother because I am the only one who is left who has the time and energy to help them as both Fathers are useless in this regard, my one on meth and the other working abroad driving in the Australian mines on a fly in fly out roster, to which he comes home and drinks most of the time in his nice place, not knowing whether he should build another place at his family beach or build another house out the back of his place. I don’t even own one house.

I have $5 per week income due to debt I got one time when I actually had a job and required a car to do said work. I get by doing favors around the property such as maintaining the lawns and gardens on the 3 acre property and various other peasant duties, plus my girlfriend is always accepting donations from the towns-people from their various shops as I am not in the higher echelon of society and cannot complete such tasks without police intervention.

My girlfriend and I are the ones caught in between; we seem to have almost everything we need: a car, a place to stay, something to cook with, food on our table.. oh wait we don’t have a table, and our kitchen consists of a second-hand electric fry pan, a toaster, a jug, a rice cooker, a microwave and a $35 mini-oven. Total kitchen cost of around $100. My car is little and so is my life when I can’t do anything beyond playing computer games. I have plans to build a place on land my girlfriend is to inherit one day, coz as you know: I sure as hell ain’t gonna inherit anything, that’s for sure! Work is scarce these days and my training and education has led me into employment which no longer exists. Wondering how on earth I am going to complete University study in the future baffles me, I can’t even rack up the funds to pay for the course! I am very passionate about Mechatronic Engineering and robotics and hope to pursue the career, one day… Just not gonna get there the way things are going. (Being real)

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. If you choose to donate to my cause I want you to know where it is going: my university education, materials for my new place and a little tiny bit of it I would like to dedicate to the well-being of all of us here on the hill in Far North, New Zealand, my grandparents, my girlfriend and even my Mother… the low down, drug addled victim of the world… All I can do is love her as she has tried so hard in her life. No… I am not a starving, homeless wretch on my last legs, with only one shot left, but I am still someone who feels cheated in life and can’t stand to see everyone around me move forward and up while my girlfriend and I stagnate, leech off and bleed-out, in no particular order, forever more.

I am in no way ungrateful for what I receive, but I am so cut; for what I deserve has been occult. I live in a half house, with a half life, half the time I care for others and feel like I don’t dedicate enough time to myself, but I play computer games hard out when the missus doesn’t wanna watch a movie and get whinged at by my girlfriend as if she wants me to simply sit and wait… I just wanna have a bit of extra money to put away for the future and have $30 a week to splash… splash the cash :/ quite hopeful, but that is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth… actually I left the juicy details out, you don’t wanna know.

Afghan war veteran, trying to deal with the aftermath of my ex-wife taking everything from me.

To anyone out there that has taken the time to read this and is in a position to help. I don’t really have much hope that this this actually works but I am tired of suffering due to my own pride, its time i asked someone, anyone, for some help.

I am a former Australian Soldier who served for 7 years and competed 2 tours of Afghanistan. After I got out I met a girl, she was cool, I was pretty fucked up from my last tour and i needed someone so maybe thats why i decided to marry her.

It started not long after, we starting arguing. Before she was so open to my opinion and having a discussion about whatever it was we were talking about.

Suddenly no matter what it was, no matter how small, it had to be her way. Now i am not some weak willed man that can be trodden over. I wasn’t prepared to get walked on so we would have these massive arguments. some lasting for days. she would just get more and more extreme and yell louder and louder, ignoring and not acknowledging my points or logic of my side.

I was tired, I only got out of the army a year or so before. I started to agree with her just because why fight about it its only something small, maybe the insurance or colour of the new couch, because i knew what would happen 3 days of fighting stress unhappiness. once you start agreeing i had less and less willpower, i know it was weak but unless you have been through this emotional abuse you wont know what i mean. its domestic violence but to us. no one takes it seriously because we dont have any bruises or broken bones. eventually she convinced me to make her a partner in my small business i had set up with the money i saved from Afghanistan.

To cut an even longer story shorter, you can guess what happened. ran up debt on the business transferred  all the money to international accounts and left the country.i need to pay off some of the most outstanding bill pay bond and the first months rent for a place. anyway any little bit would help. i am mid 30’s and have to start again from less then zero.

I hope I will be able to pay it forward at some point in the future.

thank you,

Rob.

Help me to find a meaning to my life

Hi everyone

first of all, I would like to thank all you kind people for taking time out and reading this. To be honest, I feel very ashamed as I type this but now i don’t have any other way and i feel very hopeless. I am an international student here in Australia and as we all know, it is so hard to survive here being an international student. I had to pay my own bills and then had to collect for my tuition fee as well which is so expensive. I know I signed up for this but life became so much harder than I thought. As I couldn’t fully fund my fee, I asked the help of my parents as well asked loans to some of the people I knew here. They offered me help.Now I have completed my degree but the problem is i still have heaps of money to pay back to people around $8000. I have job which does not pay me enough and i tried looking for jobs but i did not had any luck.  Because of the money issue and no social and emotional support I was nearly depressed to the point I thought of killing myself. But I couldn’t do it because of the thought of my parents. I cant even go back with the huge loans that I have nor can I survive. Therefore, i just wanted to know if there are kind people who will help me in this situation with whatever amount they can donate me ( trust me, even if its just a $, that would be so much helpful). I am not expecting that I will be getting donations to pay all my loan but even if its just 20% of my loan, that would be so much helpful. I don’t wanna give up and I want to be normal like before and no more depressed. I want to stand up again and be free with the loans and then start a new life. I have always been giving and kind and I plan to help people in any way I can. I am sorry as I cant explain everything so clearly but all I can say is, your help would mean so much to me.You would save my life. I feel so hopeless and feel like a failure and this isnt me :( please help

Soon to be homeless

I am soon to be homeless as I have recently lost my job and my daughter had moved out to be with her partner. I have had no income for over a month with countless efforts to gain employment again. I am 3 weeks behind in my rent which is $535 a week. I have advertised for a housemate to help with the rent and will hopefully have someone move in within the next few weeks. I have rarely been able to eat as I have no food. I have asked family and friends for help just to be told they are financially unable to help me. I have never struggled so much, felt so Depressed and hopeless.  My bills are growing each day putting me further into debt. I have been considering doing things that I could have never imagined just to survive.  I don’t know what I will do once I am evicted,  my land agent has said I will be evicted if I do not pay my rent arrears and I will still be responsible and required to pay rent even after being evicted until someone else has taken over my lease.  I am struggling more than imaginable.  Please help me to get my life back on track so I can live my life again. I have not stopped applying for employment and will not stop until I am working again. I have never asked for help before,  so please know this is one of the hardest things I have had to do. Please if yo can help me in any way,  I would be forever grateful.  I need $5000 to pay my rent arrears, the next fortnights rent, my utilities bills and some food.

Any donation will be a help.

Save My Livelihood and My Family

Hi Everyone, My name is Jon and i don’t know where else to turn. Ill start from the beginning. I own a small fencing business and have done for about 4 years and i was making a steady living to support my family until i picked up some big jobs from a builder. After i completed the jobs the builder went bankrupt  and left me out of pocket for $17 000 that has sent me to the wall. Because of this i can not pay my material supplier and can not afford to pay for materials to do any other jobs. Thanks to this builder it is a daily struggle just to put food on the table and care for my family and they are the most important thing in my life. I cant understand how someone can do this and leave a person destitute.

I know this person is sitting back laughing in his nice home with his family with not a care in the world about what he has done and the peoples lives he has destroyed.I hate having to ask for help but i don’t know what else to do as i have been turned away from other avenues of finance and help .

I just need enough money to buy materials and complete a few jobs to get back on my feet,look after my family and start to rebuild my business and my life.If you could find it in your heart to help me out i would be eternally great full.Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Kind Regards

Jon

Save my boy from child abuse

Ok, this is really complex situation to explain in an essay type format, so I’ll try to keep it as simple as possible.

However if you’re genuinely interested, i am OK with answering questions and going into more detail. But for now i’ll just keep it as plain and simple as i can.

I grew up an only child to a single parent, who sexually, emotionally and physically abused me from the age of 3.

I left home at 17 I’ve spent the last 15 years soul searching, going to therapy, watching healthy family’s and taking note of what a healthy family looks like and learning how to take responsibility for my own emotions, and of course researching about trauma and abuse, learning how it screws with a person and what they have to do to be healthy, loving, caring influences on the lives of those i chose to have around me. And of course, learning how to put up boundaries with my abusive mother, who has never ceased trying to ruin my life no matter how far away from her i move.

I am proud to say i established a life that was free/safe from her, and built healthy relationships with people.

I now have a 2 year old son, whom i share custody of with his mother. My absolute number one goal in life has always been to be a good father, as I grew up without a one.

This boy has changed my life for the better and in return i will rearrange my life to work around the best outcome for him, because he not only needs it, he deserves it.

I’ve recently been made aware that my mother has formed a relationship with my sons mother and is now planning on moving across the country to the town i reside, purely for the purpose of “caring” for my son.

She’s written an affidavit against me, and convinced my sons mother to live with her, as she has lots of money.

The bottom line here is, i know for absolute certain, that if she is allowed to be alone with my beautiful boy, she will not only hold him responsible for her emotions, she will also punish him for thing he didn’t do and doesn’t understand, she will humiliate him, sexually abuse him, and break his beautiful strong spirit over and over again.

Now i have made reports to child protection, and the police. But I don’t have the money to compete with this monster in court and she knows it.

I don’t know what to do, how to do it, who to turn to,, i would do anything to protect my boy from harm, but in this circumstance the only way to do that is with money that i don’t have.

Please, this money isn’t for me, it’s for my boy, he needs his dad to protect him now, and i need help doing that.

 

I’d just like to also say that for safety reasons i haven’t entered a photo of myself or my son publicly because of safety reasons,, however if you show an interest in helping me, i’m happy to arrange something, and also happy to answer any questions and give any other details you might be curious about, this includes details of the abuse i suffered as a child. I’m not embarrassed to share my story for the sake of my sons safety.

I’ve never asked anyone for money and I doubt that i ever will again,  so I’m asking for $50,000. This is to not only pay for legal costs, which will roughly cost around $35,000, I’ve added the extra 15k to protect myself from what ever else that abusive woman is going to through at me, because i know she continue to try to find ways to get to him and hurt me, if i don’t do this properly and cover all angles, which includes getting professional help for my sons mother, who has rather severe mental health issues, then she will just find another way to get wriggle in a ruin the lives of me, by son, and his mother.

Please, help me protect my beautiful boy.

Desperately need funds to help pay for our Visa!

43760608_10155618252600808_5417684292773871616_o.jpg

So you are probably wondering “what on earth do two girls in Oz need a crowd funding page for?” so here’s a bit of back story. My name is Becca, I am originally from England, but after going travelling I settled in Australia with my girlfriend, Belle. We live in Melbourne.

It’s been a big year for both of us. We met on a trip in New Zealand, miles away from my home in Luton. The trip latest three weeks, and in those three weeks, we fell for one another. After a while, we took the huge decision to come out to both of our families. We are each other’s first girlfriends so to speak, and now we have finally settled and are able to be ourselves for the first time in our lives.

We have been here a while and I have had a working visa, however our plan is to return back to the UK for 3 months to see my family and friends. But to be able to safely return back to Australia without any refusal, we need to apply for the partner visa at the  beginning of February which is a fair few months earlier than we thought, so our savings will be cut short…

The best way to guarantee to get this visa approved is to go via a lawyer. Lawyer = money. Money unfortunately that we just don’t have. For everything, the cost is around $13,000 AUD give or take a few dollars. However, to be able to kickstart this process and start the application we need money to be able to pay the Lawyer (80% of their fees) and when the application is ready and raring to be sent off on the 1st February, we need the pay the rest of the Legal fees and the visa in full – which is why we have resorted to crowdfunding.

We aren’t expecting to get the whole total by any stretch, but every little helps. We don’t have a lot of savings, due to travelling, and our families are unable to help us with the full amount. Even if you donated just £5/$10, it would help us immensely. If you would like to know more, please feel free to contact one of us. Thanks!

Hope

I am a 51 year old father with 3 children I have worked for the last 35 years I was injured in a work place accident 3/3/2018 then was sacked.  I am recovering still 10 years before the injury my wife started having delusions I took her to her father because we went through the same thing with her sister. They refused to help and only made her believe that her delusions were real. She had a dream that something bad happened when I took her to the dentist to repair her teeth she asked my not to leave her but I had to because our three babies were in the waiting room our 6 year old daughter and our 4 year old twin boys. That’s when she said the bug was implanted in her gum which she blamed me for and ever since then the delusions have gotten worse. We had a $860,000 dollar mortgage at the time consisting of 4 properties. I was made redundant after 17 years of working. I tried to sell the investment properties but she was paranoid and refused I was unemployed for 18 months and the redundancy was used. I finally got her to sell 1 of the properties which payed the loan down to $325,000 she agreed to sell one of the other properties and signed the contracts but then refused to complete the sale. Now the buyers are taking us to court. In the mean time the other property was being rented the tenants wrecked the places and left. The insurance company refused to pay because the real estate  agent did not change the tenant contract in to my name when I brought the property.

Now today I am $325,000 dollars in debt I am injured and cannot work the bank  refuses to help me the property is damaged I cant get people to rent it so its just sitting there and the buyers of the other property block of land are taking me to court. My wife has not left the house in 5 years her parents will not talk to her  she refuses to see a doctor or a pastor. We are slowly sinking. Can anybody help. I am putting a call out in the mighty name of the Holy Son of God Jesus paypal.me/HopeinJesusChrist

$500 for a new computer?

i know that i literally just posted about me being homeless and having no job, but thing is im only ever using my laptop (that of which is slowly falling apart in my hands since this time last year) to talk to my fiance, my professionals and whatnot.

this money is just a kick start into what i need when i need to use it.
for a few years ive dreamed of having a real computer, not an overpriced, yoga laptop from lenovo that cant even run programs smoothly.
this is one payment out of 5 that ill need. but i set it to that fraction because i dont want to seem like im greedy or ungrateful or possibly even just being an asshole.

i assure you, i do use my money well. i only just got my bank card so i can quickly deposit or withdraw cash for whatever i need in my time of urgency.
my girlfriend, whom i don’t live with because of family feuds basically, is helping me get through this herself, and offered to let me stay at a motel for the night as ive been sleeping on a floor without much keeping me warm for the past few days.
so wish me luck with all that and i hope that at least a few bucks comes my way in some time. id love to beable to get food on my own without bothering my friends parents for any of it as i came abruptly at 10pm in the rain.

No Home and No Job

hi, my names samuel and i was recently kicked out of home.
this occurred over a conversation about computers with my mother, asking her if i could talk to her about what i can do to get parts for a new one.
so what happened is she complained that i dont have a job/anything, but the reason why i never had a job is that my mother never registered me a birth certificate, and that obviously caused alot of walls to be erected before me.

i have no photo ID, nothing.
all i have is school and bank documents but they dont work for trying to apply even for a photo ID.
anyway, i have been away from home for 3 days now. im crashing with a friends family and again, because i have no ID, i cant really earn money. not centerlink or any allowances that are government or family funded.
the only money i have on me now is less than a few dollars, my mother is keeping me from selling what i own (im 17) even though under an law of property issue, she cannot claim or control anything of mine unless there was a condition for that.

so now im stuck here, on the other side of town that i had to walk to, in rain and fear.

even now im seeing professionals to help me get a job but even they cant do much unless i have proper ID and stuff.. so i was hoping someone here would be able to help in this desperate situation, as i dont have much guidance besides having to walk all the way back just to argue over it or risk my mother or stepfather breaking my stuff out of habit as they have done so before.

my name is Samuel Ford, and im a 17 year old, early school leaver, non-employed, desperate guy that needs help in getting what i need.

Living with Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

Hi my name is Bec, I’m 36 and separated from my partner of 16 years just over a year ago. We have 3 children together and the separation has been extremely difficult on all three of them. It is a constant worry. My son, 14 and daughters, 12 and 8 all show signs of anxiety, depression and have become quite withdrawn and even getting my son to go to school has become a huge problem. My former partner does not believe I am entitled to anything. I chose to end the relationship so therefore i walked away, with constant guilt about breaking up our family. There’s so much to my story but where to begin especially when I struggle coming to terms with it all.

I met my ex when i was 18. My older brother had just became a soldier and my ex was his corporal at the time. My ex was 31 at the time.  16 years as a military wife certainly can take a toll. My brother was on the second rotation to Afghanistan , had his 21st birthday whilst deployed there, 4 years later he had taken his own life.

We had a pretty tough upbringing, my mum raised myself, brother and younger sister on her own, but nothing could have prepared me for losing my brother. It really destroyed our family. You can google Geff Gregg and see what hell it was.

I had seen numerous Psychiatrists, psychologists, counsellor, you name it, I was always treated for grief related symptoms. I put my family through absolute hell, could not control my mental state at all.

I was extremely close with my brother.

I have so much guilt. My ex partner was a good provider spent 25 years in special forces, so we had to move around a lot and lots of time apart when he was on deployment. He worked hard. But somehow it all fell apart. Now we both struggle physically n mentally. He is still fighting after 5 years for benefits from the Army. We can’t afford lawyers to sort out our separation and in all honesty I would never want to strip him of everything he worked so hard for. But I feel as though I left him in financial ruin with the mortgage and an unfinished house and lifestyle that we were both too broken to complete. There wasn’t just one suicide or tragedy that we dealt with. I needed to break away to save myself.

I am living at my mums but barely keeping on top of things. I desperately need my own house for me and the kids , so I can get them back some sense of normality and routine etc. I still have not been able to get any of our things from my old house so it just doesn’t feel like home. And when the kids are with their dad it must be hard for them because everything is still as I left it , so I hate to think what that must be like for them. Same house but no mum.

my mum and dad are not in a financial” situation to help much, and although i appreciate everything mum has not been able to afford to fix certain things in the house, no over, no heating or cooling and bathroom is out of limits. It’s hard and depressing. But I am really trying to be happy. And in control emotionally for the sake of my kids.

I’m unable to receive full benefits for the kids due to my percentage of the property yet, there’s nothing that can be done at this stage as I know my ex is in no position to buy me out etc and i would not want to cause any grief or get lawyers involved n cause more financial difficulty. But I’m at my wits end. I’m always out of money for food, petrol etc, always have to ask him for money even though i know he is in the same boat. I can’t afford for my kids to do swimming, or any after school activities or sports or instruments. I’ve had to use my sons savings. That hurts so much.

My dad just had surgery due to blocked arteries and my mum has chronic fatigue which devastates me. My parents divorced when i was 3 years old and got back together when i was a teenager. They had 2 more sons, my younger brothers now 19 and 21, Have been through a lot due to the tragic loss of Geff and the effects it had on us all as a whole. My brothers were 7 and 8 at the time. My first two children were very young, my daughter was 5 months old when my brother passed so knowing what I was like back then gives me so much guilt knowing I couldnt have been much of a mother.

I am desperate to give my kids a chance in life, I need to get us sorted, get our things, have our own place to start again. My ex partner and I have shared time with the kids but even still they seem to be with me more. I struggle so much when they go to their dads. I’ve been a mother since I was 21 and always been with them.

I have since been diagnosed with complex post traumatic stress disorder as well as borderline personality disorder. I’m very upset and angry with the system as these conditions should have been diagnosed in my early 20’s as I had all the symptoms. It is a very serious disability which explains a lot about my suicide attempts over the years, the anger, the depression, my emotional outbursts. All which if was picked up sooner could have been treated n maybe life would be different now. Who knows.

I just know it has taken a huge toll on my loved ones and myself and most of all my children having seen a lot of fighting etc as my ex also suffered with post traumatic stress disorder and was a soldier.

I’ve never asked for much. My ex and I were the ones that people could depend on for a place to stay, money, food anything. Now it’s us who need help.

I don’t know what to expect but I’m desperate. I’m not sure if this will even be heard

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.
