CBD is very important to me because its all natural and it keeps me free and able to slowly go back into the public places with a lot of people again and not suffer an attack..I hated being cooped up in my home for YEARS not able to go places without the fear overhead for having an attack, on a sunny day I couldn’t  leave because the light and heat would trigger my attack.. so I always had someone with me when I shopped for food ..I hate being baby-sat ..CBD gave me back my life.. no more babysitters for me..

please help if your able I know I’m not special but I do need my MEDICATION and its not covered.

Student out of work (medical reasons). Running very low on funds:( Would you mind helping me?

Hello:) I hope you are doing well.

My name is Alannah, I’m a 4th-year university student in Canada (age between 20-24). I came across this site and was very grateful it exists… This past year has been the most difficult of my life. Even though these things are quite personal, I guess I’ll go ahead and share everything with you:)

Before I tell my story, I want to share a little about who I am and what my life looks like:) I’ve lived with my mom (single mom) and my brother since the age of 5. We were never completely broke, but we were never thriving either. But I was always content:) To be upfront but not too specific, my mom makes well under 35-40 thousand a year. This meant that we were blessed in many ways with love, but did not (and still don’t) have the same privileges as others do. No fun family vacations to Disneyland, Florida etc., no camp. No going to the mall with my parents to get me 100$-200$ worth of clothes, or other things.

I remember a time when we had little to eat and our house at the time had many problems that we couldn’t afford to fix right away. During that time we had to take cold showers (which drastically improved the time I took in the shower ;) 40 mins down to 5 mins!! Amazing! lol). At that point, my mom was working 3 jobs to made ends meet. We’ve had little struggles like that. I started working before the age of 15, wanting to buy my own things because there were many many things I couldn’t have. Since the age of 15 (when I could be paid minimum wage), I’ve been buying my own clothes, furniture for my room (I remember my first big purchase was a queen mattress for 1000$… it was an amazing feeling!!), school supplies (my mom kindly helped me by buying the basics), cell phones, cell phone plans, laptops for university, my first car (a rusty 2006 Kia for 2000$ lol!! But I love it! :) ) and all my tuition fees for university (which is the source of my large amount of debt lol… but I’m not too worried because once I get a job it can be paid back…! Basically what I’m saying here is that I’ve never “had it made”, you know? Don’t get me wrong, I am very happy with my life:) But it’s just to give you an idea of my family’s financial situation throughout my life. So here we go with my story!

  1. Almost a year ago, I found out my partner wasn’t being loyal to me… I don’t know if this has ever happened to you, but if it has, you understand… It broke me as a person. My life has gone downhill from that moment.
  2. About 4.5 months ago, I was hospitalized for mental health problems such as depression and suicide (things like cutting, etc…). I was put on 3 kinds of medications. Since that time, I have not been working. I had 2 jobs as a waitress before this happened. I was strongly advised not go back to work (along with a full course load) in order to prevent a relapse.
  3. Sometimes, life throws everything at you at once to perhaps make you stronger… Because while I was in hospital, I learned that my older brother has brain cancer (tumor in his brain). It’s called low-grade type 2 glioma, to be exact. I worry about him every single day…
  4. During my most recent Christmas break, things were going much better with my depression. Much much better:) I started my new semester in January back on my feet and was ready to take on the world!:) I was planning to start working again. In my program, we must take some sports for school credit. I took skiing, and it involved going on a ski trip during the start of the semester! I was so excited because skiing is one of my favorite sports. However, two days before our return to school, I was night skiing with my friends. Next thing I knew, I collided VERY hard with another skier, I ended up on my back and all I could do was try to breathe. My head, neck and ribs were hurting badly. I was quickly able to breathe normally, but I couldn’t get up or sit up. I was then taken by ambulance to the hospital. The event is still pretty fuzzy. I was told I have a concussion and whiplash. I tried going to my lectures after resting for a few days. But as hard as I tried, my symptoms were so bad I could not keep up with school… I went to see another doctor in my city. He said I absolutely shouldn’t be in school for the next 2 weeks.  And here I am now, typing this (even though it’s making my eyes and head ache quite badly… lol) but I hope it’s worth it. Obviously, this means I can’t go back to work like I had planned. My funds are getting very low, I have bills to pay and I’m getting quite scared… I want to recover completely from my concussion, but I can’t be broke either… so I guess I’ll have no choice but to go back to work soon if I don’t get better quickly… I’m quite desperate… I even checked out a sugar daddy website!!! But nooooo thank you, that is not for me…….. 

If you’ve read this far, thank you very much:) I know people can say absolutely anything on these sites, so if you’re interested in helping me out, I have all medical documents to support my story, if you need.

I want and plan to be a doctor (most likely a naturopath). I will push and persevere until I achieve this dream. I absolutely love helping others, it gives me this amazing thrill of joy and happiness. I try to hand out Care Kits to the homeless in my city as much as I can afford. When I get to say hello to them and give them a kit, sometimes it feels like my heart is going to explode with happiness!! I want to make a decent amount of money later on, in order to help those who need it the most. (So if you happen to be deciding between helping me or helping someone who is homeless, please help the person who is homeless!!!)

 

Thank you again for reading my story:) I wish you lots of love and happiness.

Kindest regards,

Alannah

Need money to renew my drivers license

Hey!

This really bombs. Every time I turn around someone is trying to charge for some stupid fee… currently I’m on EI as I am a seasonal farm hand. And I just got a totally unexpected bill in the mail to renew my license, after I just paid 100 dollars last month to do my road test for my full drivers license.. I was under the impression that it was going to cost me 18$ to get a new card but it turns out it costs 108$… it’s impossible to get ahead. There’s no work where I live and I’m trying to business plan to start my own farm in the spring but do you know it costs 60$ just to tell the Canadian government you are starting a business? How is someone supposed to keep up with all these stupid fees while trying to be a farmer and grow good food… drowning in fees.  I’m hoping just to get 168$ to cover these two unexpected costs because I really don’t have extra money laying around… I live very frugally and use my pay only for my necessities including my student loan and my car payments and insurance. I just feel like as a farmer I work really hard and no one really respects the importance of farmers in Canada… I don’t think it’s fair that farmers feed the whole country yet don’t make enough wage to barely pay for a car :(

 

if you love your farmers and see the importance of young agrarians please help a lass out so I can keep my drivers license and register my business. I’d be very appreciative and it would definitely restore my faith in humans. Thank-you. If you can’t donate to me, please at least buy local produce in the summer when you can.

Single Father Loses to Scammers.

People have probably heard a story like mine a thousand times.

4 tears ago I was a travelling private investigator. Well I was working my wife of 9 years cheated on me. I gought to save the marriage but she would have none of it.

Couple months later she kicked me out of the house.

Having no option  I continued that work for 3 years.

In 2018 I left that job because I only saw my boys about 10 days in 2017.

In 2018 I started a new new job but it did not pay as much. I got to see my boys a little more but between child support and my ex’s demand for $100 everytime she brings me the boys I was barely keeping my head above water.

Then in December in desperation to get more money I “invested” in a couple forex traders. They said invest $500-1000 and within a week you will receive $5000-10000 back.

I should have known it was a scam, but I just wanted a good Christmas for my three boys.

When the payment came up I was told that I have to pay lawyers fees or commission on the profits before they would be released.

Needless to say I never received the money. Now a month later I am now struggling with the payday loans that I took out to “invest” with these scammers. My rent for January has not been paid and it is almost February.

I am asking for help to get rid of these loans and yo get caught up on my bills. Any help is appreciated because the sooner I can do that the sooner I can see my boys again because as of right now I could not pay my ex’s transportation fee or even feed my boys.

Attached is a picture of me and my boys and a screenshot of the message from one of the scammers.

Anything That Helps

Hi there,

 

I don’t typically ask for help and frankly, I feel this embarrassment and shame since a living situation happened and I like to get myself back on my feet. For those of you who is taking their time to read, first of all thank you regardless for the consideration… it really does mean a lot. My sister and I have been looking for a place to live for about two months, due to borrowing a portion of money from our close friends… my sister and I got scammed for a price that was too good to be true. My sister and I found an affordable apartment online, and we thought this was an amazing opportunity to be on our own after finishing her undergraduate studies and as for me entering my final year in my undergrad. We both got scammed and lost 1,800 to a scammer promising and impersonating as a landlord. The day we realized we’ve been scammed, was literally the most traumatizing moment of our lives. Since starting school, I was able to pay back the amount to my friend and another portion back as I was behind on rent money by a month of $550… because of that major loss of money, it seems so little but for me it is A LOT.

 

I’ve been working two part-time jobs to keep up, and every time I feel like I’m starting to get back on my feet I fall behind. I feel like I’m only making enough or barely enough to keep up. I’m behind on bills, sometimes not enough for food, but enough for rent. It’s embarrassing to ask those close to you for help because the one thing you don’t want to talk about is getting scammed. My whole savings towards this “wonderful apartment” have left me scarred and feeling I’m trying to constantly dig out of a hole I can’t get out of. Even though it’s been a few months, and being back in school for a few months I still feel this restlessness and stress for not having much money left. I’ve been so stressed out that a few weeks ago, after a doctor visit I got diagnosed with alopecia areata. For those of you who may not know what it is, it is an autoimmune disease where your own immune system attacks the hair follicles thinking you’re sick and that your hair is bad. Since then, I’ve been getting bald patches and now learning that I may have to take some shots to speed the growth where I may not know if it’ll grow back. Hearing this, I already know I’m due to pay more than I am capable of. Right now, I’m doing my best to stay positive, doing my best to work as much as I can. But I do please ask of you, if you can donate any dollar amount I would forever be grateful. Thank you.

22 year old single mother. need help paying rent and tuition.

Hi my name is Emma and I am a 22 year old single mother to a four year old girl name Chloe. I am having a really hard time now being able to support both of us financially and find myself constantly in a worried state. I am currently enrolled at University of Toronto, working to complete an undergraduate program. I got pregnant with my beautiful daughter Chloe when I was 17 and had her at 18. Apart from raising my daughter single handedly, I am a full time student and I also work part time as a barista during the days that I am not in class as well as on the weekends. I don’t get any support from my daughter’s father and am having a hard time supporting both of us by myself. When I am not working or attending lectures, I am working at balancing caring for Chloe, tending to housework, and completing readings and assignments. I know that I need a way to make more money while I’m still studying but I’m not confident with picking up more hours at work because that means also paying for a babysitter for Chloe and taking hours away from the time that I need to do my school work. I am terrified at the thought that I am caught in this bind where I have to choose between my studies which will help my future, or making money now at a minimum wage job to make ends meat for Chloe and I. I am Currently in my second year and have 2-3 more years of this to go. Since starting this program, I have been extremely stressed and anxious. I am not sure if I will be able to support Chloe and myself like this for much longer without giving up my studies. Paying for rent is extremely hard in the city and all I care about if being Able to give my daughter everything she needs (which I do), and being able to give her a happy and healthy life. Anything that anyone is willing to donate to me will be extremely appreciated. I know that once I graduate and get a well paying job, I will pay everything forward and never take for granted what other have done for me.

Please anything that anyone is willing to donate us will help and mean so much to us.

thank you for reading.

College Student looking to get out of debt

Hello there,

My name is Gen and I’ve recently needed to quit my job to really focus on my schooling. I’m in class full time for Fashion Marketing and also am doing an internship as a marketing director for a luxury high end tailoring company, my debt at the moment is $40,000 and am looking to pay that off as soon as possible. I was previously in vet school for a couple years which is really what killed my debt. I’m a 21 year old living in downtown Toronto trying to make it in the fashion industry, I also do some modeling on the side which has been really helpful in getting myself out there.

 

I live alone with no family by my side to help me, I’ve been alone since I was 17 and have been living paycheck to paycheck also trying to support my mom who asks me for money at least once a week. It’s really hard to say no to her even though she hasn’t really been there much for me.

 

Getting this money would would really help me be able to focus on my internship and do well in school as my grades are slowly dropping and my attendance is getting scary low due to my previous employment. If you can find it in your heart to help out a small town girl trying to make it in a big city that would mean the world to me and I’d be forever grateful.

 

If you you have any questions please feel free to message me through my email. I’d love to keep in contact with a potential supporter.

Mr Nice Guy

Well first off my name is Rob. I don’t like asking anybody for anything especially for support. I had always been brought up to look after yourself and people you love but never thought it would be my downfall but it somehow was. It was back in 2011 the company I worked for closed the doors and I found myself out of work I was blessed with a good job that gave me a years salary to ease the pain of losing my job. I had dated a girl years earlier but she went away to school in a different part of the country but continued to write her letters and got together after the school year and she came home, this lasted a few years. One day she wrote me and stated she had found another I understood because I to had fallen for someone else and ended up marrying her the following year we are still together 8 years later. Back to 2011 my ex had contacted me knowing I had gotten a buyout package from my company because that is where I had met her years before. She had emailed me stating she was traveling in another country and as involved in an accident and asked if she could borrow a few thousand to pay some outstanding medical bills and she would pay me back when she got back to Canada I told her I was now married and couldn’t she pleaded and begged me and because I had loved her once before I agreed as long as I got paid back as soon as possible. I took it out of my personal account not telling my wife (big mistake) Soon after she asked for more I told her no that’s when the nightmare began she demanded more and when I told her no she threatened to show my wife old letters saying we were still involved and we had never stopped seeing each other. Because she lived in the same city she knew where my wife worked and threatened to go to her work and show her the letters so I gave in I didn’t want my wife to think something was going on and didn’t know what my ex had but didn’t want my wife involved so I gave her more just to go away. Soon she demanded more and started to call me at home I changed my number but she soon found out the new one via the internet. I told her I as going to go to the police and she had to stop again she threatened me and said if I go she will tell the police that I raped her I ended up giving her one last payment over $60,000 in total the only reason the payments stopped is my wife found the emails and payment history. I swore nothing happened and though I had doubts my wife said she believed me I told her I as scared she would leave and didn’t want her to think I cheated on her but she still resented me for paying that money and I understands I am totally to blame. We are still together after 8 years have a nice family and are still very much in love we for the most part have gotten past this except for that bill that comes every month I still owe the bank $48000 for the loan I took out to pay her off a cruel reminder that my wife and I struggle to pay every month. I really need to pay this off so we can move on from this to put this in our past and forget it forever because though she forgives me it still puts a huge strain on our marriage. I know this was my mistake but I truly thought I was helping someone out. I am so sorry for asking and will always be thankful to all that can help…..bless you all

Mental Health Crisis

To anyone taking the time to read my post, I’d like to thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

I am a 31 year old woman who has been coping with mental illness for the better part of 20 years. I have a major depressive disorder coupled with debilitating anxiety, which often presents as agoraphobia. This means that I am unable to leave my home quite often due to paralyzing fear. I suffer from terrible physical and emotional torment on a daily basis, even though I am persistent and consistent with the medication I’ve been prescribed. I am currently a recipient of disability benefits because of these issues.

I live with a roommate because of the financial constraints that come with being on government benefits. Please, do not think that I am ungrateful for the help that I receive, as I am painfully aware of what life was like before I applied. Having a roof over my head had been the most important goal in my life, and I am greatly relieved to be sheltered, regardless of the living arrangements. However, even at a reduced cost (by having a roommate,) I find myself stuck in mental health limbo.

I am completely unable to afford the ability to get well. I can either eat for the month, or go to one single therapy session. I have attended multiple free sessions and tried to get as much help as is available to me within my financial bracket, even trying to pay reduced rates offered by very generous professionals and going without proper food for weeks. However, living this way has only exacerbated my mental health issues and I fear the damage it is doing to me as I’ve been getting worse, not better. I feel like a prisoner of my circumstances.

I feel like I am an intelligent, persevering, strong woman that deserves the chance to fight for her life and make something out of it. I am desperate and determined to be a success; to overcome these struggles and be a productive member of society. I want to be able to make friends, fall in love one day, go to school, get a job I love, buy a home…I want a future. I deserve a future. Please help me fight for it.

If you can help me at all, I can’t begin to explain the difference it would make in my life. Thank you for reading.

In Need of Help

Listen am gonna make this plain so here it goes, I am Charles, a 19 year old Canadian, i may know what your thinking, why is someone this young asking for donations, well to put it simply am struggling, with mobile bills, and other payments which I am not able to fulfill now because I do not make enough money, and I might lose my job because my workplace doesn’t or can’t get  the funding they need to pay me, and I know “why don’t you look for a new job”, well to put it simply some jobs here only allow women to work, and most if not all require me to drive every morning, which I cannot because I do not have a vehicle, I don’t have my license and I can’t get anyone reliable to take me each morning, the reason I have a job right now is because am taking another high school class so I can have ride via bus to my workplace each morning, I am unable to move to find a decent job from this small town and am currently applying for an online college course so I can get a new PC to work on and own since I can’t afford one for Christmas for myself, my phone might be cut off soon and I may have to owe over 600$ for my bill.
So this is my last resort, I’ve been rejected by loaning companies because my wage doesn’t reach the bare minimum requirement for their application, so if I don’t find a way to get money by the end of this month, I don’t know what to do

Looking For Job, Dropped out of program, Need Rent

I googled where you could ask for money and found this. I wouldn’t come here unless I had to. My name is Savanna I just dropped out of the Water and Waste Water Technician Program, I was so excited when I went into it but realized it was not the program I expected it to be. I moved 9 hours away from home to come to this school and the program isn’t too hard, it was quite the opposite; I just find myself bored with the work and it was always so repetitive. I miss my family a lot and I was a big part of our home so I was only gone for about a month when my mom told me she was moving with my siblings 12 hours away from me, and 10 away from where I grew up. She had been struggling a lot since I left and needed the support from her family. When it came time to move my father who does not pay any child support refused to pay for their move although previously had bragged he could pay for the whole thing. I sent my mom 1000 dollars of my OSAP money to her to cover moving expenses. I’ve been looking for a job since November but with plans to travel to see my family the only interviews I got, I was turned down due to the 3 weeks I would be away for the holidays. My mom has just moved into her new house with my siblings, and has a job she will be starting soon full time. We moved them in on December 26th, they’d been in the city for 2 months on December 20th when I was there. I was so happy we found them a house while they were there. I told her she could take as much time as she needs to pay me back but shes already given me 150 back because she knows I’m also struggling. I am applying everyday to new jobs and hope to get one soon but for the time being anything would help. I haven’t taken the time to look through other stories on this website yet but I’m sure I am not the saddest one so I understand if you can’t send much but anything would help honestly.  The picture is of my mom in front of her new house!!!!!

We lost a loved one, lost a job, lost our security…

I never thought I would be in this position- asking complete strangers for money online. I’ve always had a strong work ethic, and believed in forging my own path- and being a completely resilient and independent person.

It’s not easy for me to even type these words, as I’m going to get really honest and pour my heart on the line and admit some of the biggest secrets in my life. But it’s because I need help, and I can’t allow my pride to continue being a burden to my family.

For the last 8 years I have been working full-time to support my boyfriend and our two pets- a small dog and a fat cat. I worked a lot of different jobs- sometimes two or three at the same time (everything from serving, film production assistant, liquor stores and more). It was a hectic lifestyle- but I made it work, because my boyfriend was never in a position health-wise to work himself.

We lived with his adopted family (more on that later) for about 5 years (contributing to rent, bills and groceries for the household), before moving on our own. His family is wonderful, and consists of two loving parents, another adopted sibling, and two biological children from the parents.

We moved on our own about two years ago when it became apparent his family couldn’t support us for much longer, due to their own financial hardships. Life was good for us at this point. Despite living in our first rather small & dingy bachelor/basement suite in a large & unfamiliar city- my boyfriend was consistently working for the first time in 8 years.

It was hard for him to work, and he never did for so long, because he was born with a crippling disability that was passed on to him from both of his parents. He never met his parents, they both died shortly after he was born, although he has been with the same adopted family nearly his whole life. His illness makes him tired and feel sore, he can’t gain weight like most people and he has 10 horse pills to take every single day, which leaves him nauseous & clutching his stomach in a ball on the bathroom floor, at times. Not to mention the constant trips to the hospital/ specialists we both frequently go to, to maintain his health.

Despite those hurdles, when we first moved out both of us were working at the same time, for the first time ever in our relationship. He was working doing hard physical labour / contract work with a friend, and I had a good job, on salary, managing a retail store in the city.

I watched him battle his illness and get up everyday to support us and provide us with a good life- testing his limits all the time. It wasn’t easy for him to work, and I often told him he shouldn’t go in when I could see he wasn’t up to it. Sometimes he would take a day, but usually he pushed himself and did it.

We were a good team, saving money and starting to build our own independent life together.

Within six months we were able to move out of that dingy basement suite into a clean and warm apartment (with an actual bedroom!), and everything seemed really good.

Then, one morning last year, we were just waking up & got a phone call from my boyfriends dad. His dad was sobbing hard. I couldn’t hear a lot, but my boyfriend’s face broke and he started bawling. I watched his heart break. And all I could hear was my boyfriends broken cries and his dads muffled ones on the other end.

When they got off the phone (his dad was coming to pick us up), I learned what happened. My boyfriend’s older brother, my brother-in-law, had passed away from a heart attack that morning & we were both crushed.

We spent two weeks with the family, taking that time off of work, and I got two small payday loans to help with the strenuous financial/ emotional circumstances. We did receive a lot of help in that time- my boyfriend was able to leave his contracting job and get a much less physically demanding job offered from their families church & we attended a free counselling session, too.

However, my job was less sympathetic then the church- and while not directly firing me for taking that time off, I was told how bad it was for the company that I took that time off, and was put on the chopping block for it. Within 3 months I lost my job.

We’ve been trying to make it work, but the two loans I got have defaulted (since I couldn’t afford to pay it back after losing my job) and my boyfriend’s job at the church is only part-time and with very random shifts/ pay dates. We’re also struggling with our day-to-day bills & rent.

I have a creditor knocking at my door, and the most work I’ve been getting is part-time serving work, not enough to make ends meet, hardly enough to keep food on our plates. Not to mention the grieving process for both me and him is still quite overwhelming, as the loss was unexpected and still pretty fresh. I can’t imagine what my boyfriend is going through, losing a family member while confronting his own health issues daily. I know for him life feels hopeless, and I don’t want this debt to be an added pressure on him.

We’re not in the hole by a lot of money, $800- 1,000 CAD is all that we need to get our finances straightened out, but anything helps in a situation like this. I know it seems like a small amount, but when you have bills to pay on top of that, and health issues & grievance… It starts to feel like that thousand dollars will always be hanging over our heads. (Posted a photo of some, not all, debts).

If there is anyone out there who is in a position to help a small family who has been through a lot over the last few months, there would be no way we could repay you in terms of what you will have given us emotionally. Thanks to all who read and God bless.

Feeling Low, Thanks for Helping

Thanks for hearing me out. Basically, I’ve struggled with mental health all my life. As a child, I lost my 17 year old sister in an accident near Prince George, then I was sexually molested by someone I thought I could trust, then my parents separated and my dad and two older brothers moved out. My mother had a bad drinking problem and would sometimes disappear for days at a time and I wouldn’t know if she was even alive. I ended up being forced to live with my dad, and went to alternate school and went to counseling. I was 13. When I was 16, I moved back to our old house after my dad kicked my mom out. My little friend went missing. My kitty cat, Little Conan. He was let out of the house by my visiting grandmother, and I never saw him again. He left a dead mouse by the front door before disappearing.

I graduated as valedictorian for having the highest GPA in the graduating class. I was known as a very quiet, shy person, so my speech was shocking for people to hear. I was back at the school I graduated from just a few months later, as a substitute and on-call TA, while I went to University.

I finished two transfer courses in University before moving in with a couple of friends and becoming an alcoholic. I obtained a kitten from one of my roommates. He loved me, and I loved him. I called him the Obliterator, while my roommate called him by his original name, Cookie Dough. He would sleep on me, cuddle me, play with me, and he trusted me. But when she moved out, shortly after we had moved into a new apartment, she took him with her.

I moved into my boyfriend’s house, got a job at Walmart, and payed for my brother and cousin to live in my old apartment for 4 months. About 1500 per month for food, rent, internet, laundry. I had no money for myself, but I was drinking heavily at the time. It was rough. There were days when I would still be drunk heading into work.

I couldn’t support them any longer and my brother was upset at me about it. My cousin was understanding. I feel into what was the beginning of the deepest depression of my life, one that I’ve been in for over a year. I broke up with my boyfriend, whom I still loved. I couldn’t keep dragging him down.

I’ve sunk deeper and deeper and lost my job, my connection with my family. I barely remember what happiness feels like. I can’t afford to buy myself food, I’m likely going to get kicked out of my place. I need help mentally, but I can’t get counseling without paying a 75 dollar fine first.

I feel like my life is over, like I’m stuck. I have a cute cat, who I likely will have to give away. I’m alone and I don’t know where to start with fixing things. Certainly getting my rent paid or myself feed would be a good place to start. Counseling would be a nice second.

Thanks for considering a donation and hearing me out.

EMERGENCY HELP NEEDED

My heart is broken and my eyes are filled with tears having to write this story. My name is Birgit and it’s with a very heavy heart that I’m having to share my mother’s story to anyone who chooses to read this. On October 22nd of this year was a very hard day as we found out she was diagnosed with advanced breast cancer. At this point in time we are unsure where the cancer is spreading. She had a bone scan on October 25th and I’m thankful to say it hasn’t spread there. Her doctors and specialists are moving fast to start her on the right treatment for her. She will be starting chemotherapy and possibly radiation at the end of November. My mom, Brenda, has always had such a kind heart to anyone she meets. She’s the type of person who would rather give than receive. Her smile lights up any room she walks into and her sense of humor will make anyone who is close to her walk away with a stomach ache from laughing so hard. Her life story is a very sad and long one, but she always came out of everything with her head held high and stronger than ever. She’s such an incredibly strong woman that I look up to and wish to be half as strong as her. Our story is very long, so to kind of make it short, I finally found her 3 years ago after being apart for almost 20 years. The day we finally met was the best day of my life and I’m sure the best day of hers. So I guess you could call me crazy but I would like to save her life and spend more than 3 years with her. We would really appreciate any donations to help my mom out as she has to quit her job she’s been with for over twenty years. When she starts her chemotherapy she can’t work as she is around the public for 12 hours a day seven days a week, and she needs to be as healthy as she can be while on her treatment. Donations will be used to help pay for her medications. Donations and prayers are more than welcome as her situation is very urgent. Please feel free to share her story with people you may know. Thank you so much for reading my mom’s story. I will update as soon as we know anything more.

We had an important video call yesterday (Nov. 28) with the oncologist in Prince George and found out my mom has stage 4 breast cancer and is HER 2 positive. The doctors have found small spots on her lungs, so the cancer has potentially spread there. She starts her first chemotherapy treatment on December 11 as well as two targeted drugs for HER 2 positive. Her type of breast cancer is very aggressive so that’s why it’s growing and spreading so fast. Please if you can donate or share her story it would mean so much to her.

My mom has started her first set of treatments. She had her PICC line put in on Dec. 3. Yesterday (Dec. 11) she had her first targeted drug for the HER 2 positive and today (Dec. 12) she had her second targeted drug plus her chemotherapy drug (paclitaxel). We were at the hospital yesterday for 2 and a half hours and today for just over 7 hours to get her treatment started. She is doing really well and is very strong. If anyone can please donate or share her story we would really appreciate it.

Humbly low I am going up come hell or high water!

I am the 58-year-old female who has had the hardest years of my life.I was in an unhealthy relationship for 40 years.I built a business that was very successful when I was younger and made a lot of money bought a home and supported my family 100 percent for over 20 years..I will spare the gory details.I had to choose between my freedom or $$… I lost my home 6 acre farm and had to go bankrupt in order to move on. I left with a suitcase, not one penny sold my car for food and rent deposit for an old one bedroom apartment. I had to even go to a food bank to eat I was so embarrassed as this is a place I couldn’t ever imagine being.I remember being hungry. My son moved with me and splits the rent with me.  I sleep on the couch in the living room LOL…

I had no up to date skills as I was retired I was terrified long story short I ended up buying a shopping cart and putting cleaning supplies in it and walked within a 2 block area of where I live and put up posters and cards to clean apartments..Well, I make 30.00 an hour and walk across the street pulling my cart…I work 2-4 hours a day as I don’t want to break my body this pays my bills. I spend the rest of the time working on a plan.

Most of my clients are elderly and don’t like to cook and some are sick cancer etc. I see a need that needs to be filled and have something that I have slowly put together that I know will be a success. I have the finished product but I am needing money to make this go. I am asking for financial support to do this so I can re-establish my life on strong ground

Purchasing late grandfather’s house

Hello,

I am a 28 year old woman who works full time at a minimum wage job. I am currently living with my parents after completing 3 years of college with little prospect of a job in my field. I have started to save money slowly in order to purchase a house in the future. My grandfather recently passed away and in his will everything goes to my mother, including his house. My parents want to sell the house in order to help pay off their mortgage and complete some renovations. The house was built in the early 1900’s, and while it is liveable it is in desperate need of updating, requires new flooring and stairs, and a lot more cosmetic work we well as some structural work.

This house is very special to me as I have visited the house on a near weekly basis for the last 28 years and have made so many incredible memories in this house before my grandparents passed away. It would break my heart to have my parents sell the house and risk having it torn down or turned into student housing.

I am attempting to convince my parents to let me move into the house, fix it up and pay monthly rent until I can afford to purchase the house from them. Ideally trying to save around $20,000 for a down payment on the house, and plan to apply for loans to meet the purchasing price of the house.

I realize that the dollar amount is way up there, and do not expect to meet it any time soon. I greatly appreciate any help that you are able to offer.

– Hayley

Requesting donations for residence fees.

Hello,

My name is Christina and I am requesting donations for me to pay my residence fee for the Fall 2019 term. I am an international student who is attending the University of Windsor to complete my bachelors program in Psychology. I fell on hard times earlier this year which lead to me being homeless, jobless and living in my car. I was granted a small scholarship to pursue my degree and considering I was homeless back in the states, it felt right to go somewhere where I know I can succeed. In the initial process, I had a job but was laid off due to budget cuts. Before I moved to Canada, I applied to many jobs to try and secure a way of proper income before I arrived. Although with over 30 applications in the job hunt, I received no calls. When I moved to Canada, I continued to apply to many jobs and was met with little to no response from the companies. As much as I wanted to give up, I did not. I began to conduct online research for jobs that I could do online at the library of my school. I found a small company that was hiring transcriptionist and I applied. While that job brings in money, it only bring in about $15 dollars a week (if it is a good week). The pay is depending on how much a person is willing to pay for the project. Some projects vary from $.80 to $5. This is not enough for me to pay my resident fee. I am quite desperate because I have to save up to go back home in the summer because I would not have a place of residence during the school off season. I am hoping that someone who is kind and generous can help me with my residence fees because I love this school and I love my program. I am determined to continue my education one way or another, but I am simply at a loss at the moment. I have attached a picture of my residence application  confirmation that displays the cost of the fee. The fee is in Canadian dollars but in this passage I have include the converted currency in the case of a donation outside of Canada. I really hope that I can get the funds to secure a home for me in the fall. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this.

Not something I’ve ever done..

Tis the season for everything to go horribly wrong… fa la la la la… my name should be Murphy because literally everything that could go wrong has and did.

Ok so to start this over again because my phone decided to erase everything I took a hour writing before…

AHEM: hey how are you doing today? I’ve been better, I’m not the type to ask anyone for help ever I’d rather struggle and find my own way to fix my issues then ask anyone for help, but here I am asking you to please help me. I’ve come to a point in my life where I’m literally stuck between a rock and a hard place and if you continue to read this you will find out why.

I’m 28 years old I had a job until a few months ago when I got fired, still for unknown reasons.. I’ve been looking for work everywhere with little to no luck at all… So this has left me with 1000 to my name and I’m a single mother so with Christmas right around the corner seems now would be a good time to get scammed out of my last little bit of money I had saved for gifts and food. You all know the phrase “if it’s to good to be true it probably is” and boy let me tell you it was… I send him $1000 he gives me a loan… more like he keeps my money and won’t return my emails the cops won’t do anything and neither will my bank guess they don’t cover stupidity.

I was attempting to get a loan because wait for it this is the best part….  I drive a older ford or I should say drove and I just replaced my fuel pump in it.. a few days later I smelled gas stupid me not thinking didn’t have a flashlight what do I do light a lighter… needles to say I got the fire out before my truck burnt to the ground I now have a mess of burnt wires and my truck wont start, I happen to live a good 20 minutes out of town with very little friends none that drive anyway.. so I’m stuck as I said before.. literally it’s a long walk to town in the winter in alberta. My phone just got cut off as well.. see anything that could of went wrong has.. least I still have power and heat and a internet connection :)

So if anyone has bothered to read this far (I’m really hoping someone has) I’m in dire need of help from anyone… please?

Thank you for taking your time to read this if anyone has, here is my pay pal link? I believe it said to use pay pal personally I prefer e transfer but this will work I hope..

Money To Get Back on Track

Hello,

My name is Kathleen.

I want to start by saying thank you for reading my post. I usually don’t resort to these types of websites but in life I’ve learned sometimes it’s okay to ask for help.

To start this off I’m a 20 year old student in Canada Ontario. I got to this point because my mom was a young immigrant from the Philippines who married my Dad the Canadian and started a family here. Not to put the blame on anyone but my mom was young and in love so when my dad decided on the place where we would live and other further choices she thought it was alright. My dad used to be the one working, my mom in the mean time was raising me and trying to transfer his nursing degree in the Philippines to here in Canada. It started small but my dad had become abusive, got involved in the wrong crowd involving drugs and put our family in a rough situation. The house we lived in was built ages ago with the foundation crumbling and repairs beyond belief. My mom finally got her PSW job but it wasn’t enough to leave especially when my brother and I were young. At the age of 19, the last straw hit when my dad cheated on my mom and started mixing his personal business with family. I got a accepted into a factory and started working endlessly along with school  to convince my mom it was time to leave. We left and for awhile it was good. Where we live rent is high and so is utilities so I helped and paid as much as I could. At this time, I shared a car with my dad that he absolutely destroyed and I was naive to not put my name down as another owner so he took the car. I resorted to purchasing a vehicle instead. It was fine until my dad let us know he had maxed two credit cards and was in his own trouble. Unable to pay my mom back and them still together, interest grew and it to this day is still unpaid.

Up until a few months ago, the factory cut my shifts entirely giving me about 2 shifts a month and I was running around trying to find another job. At this time, our landlord decided to sell our place and asked us to kindly find a new one. I became backed up with bills, my mom worked endlessly to pay the rent and help me, I missed car payments and had to resort to using some of our credit cards that had equally been maxed out. Luckily we found a place but it is 40 minutes from the main city way in the county because that’s all we could afford for rent. Along with this new rental, the debt from these credit cards have been brutal. With being so far behind, I had to get my vehicle repossesed and I work 40+ hours every week along with full time school. My mom works even more hours and my brother recently just got a job along with school but with all three of us working endlessly it’s like we keep ending back where we started. We currently share her vehicle and commute everyday to town almost 2.5 hours in travelling everyday with the winter weather coming.

My goal for this post is to just ask for help. I’d love to reach $8000 and pay off some bills, pay off some of this credit card debt and buy a cheap vehicle in the mean time. I hope to just get rid of this negativity so we can finally cut ties with my dad and just be free. I graduate school in a year but in the mean time, my minimum wage job helps me as much as I can. I just don’t want to graduate either with such crippling debt behind me. I also just want to let my mom rest and not have to work 60 hours a week.

Again thank you for reading my post and I appreciate any help.

Allergic to?

• • Hello! My name is Ravin and I am a Sagittarius. If u know or follow astrology, you know the Sag is the freedom loving extrovert who loves ADVENTURE. That’s me in a nutshell. Or that WAS me before I starting having allergic reactions all the time. Actually I have been dealing with urticaria ( chronic hives) for 2 and a half years now. Wow that’s insane I have been suffering from this ailment that long. No, on second thought it’s starting to feel like FOREVER. I honestly have not had one day without feeling the itch or the painful sting I get from the welts . I have no idea what is causing the allergic reactions as of YET. My general practitioner has had me do numerous allergy tests. I have also had a painful skin biopsy done that I could feel being done because lucky me ( another trait of my sun sign) doesn’t freeze very well. Or at. All. We have also had my bloodwork and a skin biopsy sent to Vancouver and the results came back as a case of Severe Eczema. Are you kidding me is all I could blurt out at my good man Dr. S.. I am desperately needing to see a specialist. But the town I live in barely or doesn’t even have enough doctors as it is. I’m lucky I have an in town Physician. Most people travel out of town to see a family doctor. They send u out of town for a broken Legg for Pete’s sake. And so this is why I’m asking for help. U see the closest dermatologist and allergy specialist is an 8 hr. drive from where I live. I’m barely making rent from month to month as I’m not able to work. I get anxious whenever I need to leave my apartment because I tend to get a reaction almost every time. The lotions and strict diets have depleted any savings in my bank account. I’m asking for $1500 to pay for the trip to see the specialist. The funds will be needed lto insure my car, pay for gas and a hotel as well as the cost of eating. All I want are answers to this annoying and sometimes unbearable condition. And hopefully (fingers crossed) they can figure out what’s causing it or if I need to live in a bubble. Either way I would just like to know so I can deal with it now and ease the stress it takes over in my mind and everyday tasks . Thank you for taking the time to read this. I’m going to attach pictures so you can really see it. I’m almost always uncomfortable… forever itchy, Ravin.

Please Help, not asking for a whole lot

So I’ve made some pretty rough life choices and now I’m stuck in a place I really don’t want to be in.

I’ve always been a clever guy, got away with a lot of things I probably wasn’t supposed to. But this time, I’m pretty much out of cards to play. Now I can’t say I’m proud of what I did, but I’m definitely changing the way I want to view life. My head was in a very dark place for the past few months, we’ve all been there, can’t be human otherwise. Until I met a friend. Now because of them I have a reason to keep going, to climb back up the set of stairs I thought would crumble beneath my feet. Now I can’t ask my friend for help financially, that wouldn’t be right, not after all the emotional support they’ve been willing to give me. But I do need it, so when I heard people might be able to donate a buck or two, I decided to reach out once more.

Personally I don’t like the idea of asking for someone to give, and I won’t. But if people are looking for ways to send kindness to others, might as stick my hand out and hope that kindness falls in my grasp.

I just need enough to manage things like food and such. My friend is kind enough to let me use their place, (Shower, kitchen, etc..) but I can’t sleep there, that’s asking too much of them. I just need enough to get me past the couple of months where I look for a job and restart my life. I also want to thank you, not for just donating but for taking the time to read.

Please help me get back on track

Good day to all,

i really don’t like asking for money. I work hard and am very proud man. But unfortunately I have gotten to a point where I can’t manage anymore. I have a wonderful family with two boys. My oldest just turned 4 years old and my youngest is 1 year old in a couple of weeks. I’ve had some difficult circumstance arise, which put me into a very negative financial position. Where my rent and expenses are higher than my income. My wife had a very difficult pregnancy from the first month. In her fourth month she got really sick and could not work. Which lead me to take care of my family and the expenses. This took a hefty toll on our credit. My son was born a month early, but I’d a very strong little fighter. He is doing very well now:). This also caused my wife to have a very difficult delivery, which left her in the hospital for almost two weeks. In this time I also got laid of from work where I didn’t get any income for a month and a half.

I am not in a good financial situation right now. And most probably will loose my car soon if I don’t pay the loans and will be avocets if I can’t pay my rent in full. I would really appreciate some help to get me over this bump. Just so that I can live with my income again.

Curently i have to pay rent which is more than my bi-weekly cheque. Then my other expenses like hydro, water, insurance and the minimum credit card payments. My expenses are higher than my income. And can get ahead.

Please help me and my family get rid of my financial hard ship this Christmas.

I owe $43200.

thank you

University, Illness, Family Troubles

Hello,

 

My name is Meg and I am a university student from Ontario, Canada. I normally am not one to ask for money, however I am in a bit of a financial crisis and could use all the help I can get.

 

My unhealthy relationship with my mother growing up has made it essential for me to move into student housing as I work towards my undergraduate degree. My mother, who has also been battling breast cancer and non-hodgkins lymphoma for decades, has given me no support whatsoever, emotionally or financially, and I am drowning in debts which I owe to her. She has not given me one cent to put towards my education, whereas my brother has received thousands, and his living expenses have also been paid for. I am currently in debt of about $4000, and will be drowning even more once the next school year begins and I must pay for residence and tuition.

 

My marks in high school were high enough for me to receive a free tuition scholarship from my university, however the scholarship is only valid for my first year of study and is non-renewable and my tuition is approximately $7000 per year. On top of that, I am living in residence, which costs $12,000 per school year. My mental health is suffering due to the stresses of my financial situation, and I am unable to pay for my perscriptions of antidepressants, and am off my medications and not doing very well.

 

Any help that you can offer me would be greatly appreciated. I know that once I finish my schooling and become a teacher, I will be able to pay it forward and help many others because I was so generously helped at this point in my life.

So I Might Get Evicted The Day After Christmas

I’ve had a rough life. Yeah, yeah you’ve heard it all before. I’m a 24 year old transman with crippling depression who has been in and out of the hospital for the last 6 years due to multiple suicide attempts, doctor visits, therapist sessions and so on. One year ago, I got kicked out of my fathers house because he didn’t like how I was transgender, I then had to move into the basement my sister rented just to have a place to sleep. Long story shorter, my sisters attitude about my situation and her tolerance of my illnesses caused her to quit all contact for me and I became worse and worse living in a room for 6 month, all the while I was on sick leave from work because the suicide attempt in December last year completely shattered my self confidence.

Having enough, I guess, my sister kicked me out of her house and I had less than two weeks to find a place to live. Under those conditions I found a place to rent that was 695$ CAD a month. It’s a pretty garbage place, but it was all I could do on such short notice. The same day I was accepted into this lease, I was also accepted into University!

Since September, I’ve been living on student loans and part time work back at my job I’ve held for the last 5 years. It was meager but it was working. Then, in November, my wisdom teeth were hurting so much I was unable to eat or chew, and talking and breathing was becoming impossible. I had to get two of the four impacted wisdom teeth removed. On top of that, I had my car break down and I had to rush to get a new car, setting me back another 360$CAD on top of all that. I also take care of my younger sister and her bills as she left my fathers house the same time I did, for similar reasons, so that and travelling to pick her up every weekend, costs a lot.

This month I didn’t make rent. I currently received a generous donation from a lovely follower on Tumblr for 200 dollars but that just covers the late fee. I’m attempting to sell items on another social media site to no avail, and as you can see in the image, I’ve been given a notice to terminate, with the date set to December 26, 2018. I’m devastated. This year has been horrible and downhill with a little glimmer of hope there in the middle. I’m scared I’ve never been in a situation like this before and I don’t know where else to turn. Even if you could help me with a dollar, I would be more than pleased. The amount I need remaining is 437$CAD after my paycheck this Friday.

Infertility Woes – Injured Paramedic

Hello Everyone,

First, I want to say thank you for taking the time to read my story.

I was a career Paramedic and Emergency Medical Dispatcher for 10 years before being diagnosed with PTSD and Major Depressive Disorder as a result of repetitive trauma exposure in my work. I nearly lost my life and everything that I love as a result. I’m happy to say that I am now in a place where I am stable and functioning, but I will never return to work.

My wife and I are trying to start a family and we have been trying for a few years now. Its to the point where Invitro Fertilization is our best and, most likely, only shot at getting pregnant.  In the past I worked as hard as possible to cover any extra expense we had but I can no longer do that. My injury also resulted in a large amount of debt – my wife was in full time studies at the time of my injury and we relied on credit just to get by.

I feel humbled by coming on this site to ask for help. I’ve spent my entire life helping others and working hard and now I need it returned. I cannot express how badly we need this miracle and what having a family would mean to the both of us.

The process of Invito Fertilization is around $16,000-20,000 per shot. Our debt load is around 30K right now.

Please consider us if you are looking for someone to donate to. We will be bringing new life into this world and making a miracle.

Thank you again for taking the time to read my story

Humbly yours,

S

I need help recovering and avoiding eviction. Willing to create custom paintings in exchange

Hello. My name is Sarah. I am a young(ish) adult working full time in Alberta.

I’ll give as much context as I can in short form so I don’t end up writing a novel.

8 months ago, I was at the end of an alcohol addiction, but still functioning at work and with general daily errands. I keep very, very few close friends and last spring, 2 of them, who do not drink, cut me out of their lives because of how draining I had become. Two days later, my third friend, who was also an alcoholic like myself, was found dead in her house because of alcohol related organ failure.

I was in shock over the next few weeks, so much so, that I had quit drinking completely. I have been sober ever since my friends funeral last May, not even out of effort, but it somehow wrecked me enough that I had completely forgotten about it.

Immediately, I had started weekly therapy. My insurance only covers $300 a year, so that was used up within a few visits. Although I work full time, I work at minimum wage. But I felt it was worth the money. I was on a sliding scale at $75 a week and thought I would be able to cut down on things to make it work. I also started medication, which is thankfully covered.

I quit smoking and started grocery shopping at the dollar store to try and make up for the counselling, as well as worked overtime when I was allowed to do so. However, about 3 months ago, my health began to decline. And this is where control of my finances went from recovering to declining beyond repair.

I am already quite small and was losing weight rapidly, I noticed my hair starting falling out in little handfuls and I was having difficulty lifting things or focusing at work. Through collaboration with my therapist and my work supervisor, I was put on a 2.5 week stress leave in October as I was no longer able to function at work.

When I came back to work, I was incomparably better and much more equipped to work and handle day to day stress. However, I knew I would have to figure something out for rent and my automatic bill withdrawals. I work in a lesser known skilled trade (we don’t get paid properly, but I love the job and try to make it work) and I am also a freelance artist in my off-time.

I tried my best to hunt out some commissions in a short period of time, but was unsuccessful in making enough to cover. I have no contact with my family and have recently lost all of my friends (indefinitely?), so I am unable to borrow. My job does not allow advances.

I was able to secure several payday loans to cover my rent for November. But because of this, the automatic repayments for the loans and their interest have put me in the negative. I know payday loaners should be avoided at all costs, but at the time, I felt like I had no other options and just wanted to make it through that month.

I have lived in my apartment for 2 years and this is the first time I have been unable to pay rent. I am usually resourceful but I believe I have come to the end of that. I had spoken to my landlord last week and he was understanding of the situation and has given me until December 15th to come up with rent for him.

Also, due to an extremely unusual shortage of work, staff have all been sent home twice this week. I was actually just phoned again today and asked not to come in on Monday. This is almost comically inconvenient, which sort of lead me to this site. My supervisors have been incredibly supportive throughout this whole ordeal, but are unable to help financially.

My rent is $1075. I expect my cheque to be around $700-$750(It’s normally about $1200) I still have the last of my payday loans coming out, as well as my bill payments, which will put me back in the negative.

Although this is a begging site, I am happy to offer some custom artwork in exchange if you would like as the title says. I would like to attempt to earn this. I have a few smaller canvases and would gladly paint whatever you would like. I am quite experienced and have a huge portfolio, so I promise it would be good quality.

I have also attached an image of my rental agreement with all personal information omitted.

Thank you for your consideration and I am willing to answer any questions excluding personal/security info of course.

Car Accident Large Ticket, and Job Lost

Hi, my Name it Evan, before the summer ended, I was involved in an ‘official’ 2 car accident. I was coming home from my summer job on a back road. While I was coming to a stop at a busy cross roads, a truck was coming barreling up behind me, didn’t stop in time, and rear ended me, with enough force so that my car had pushed into the intersection.

Luckily enough for myself, I had hit the accelerator quick enough to not get hit directly in my river seat the rear end of my car was destroyed. The driver of the truck that rear ended me took off. I was left to reap the consequences.

On site of the accident, I was given tickets for careless driving, Failure to stop, and failure to properly obey posted signage. Unfortunately, only a couple of the witnesses had seen the truck that hit me, which did not help when the police were handling me. I was blamed completely for the accident along with a totaled car to deal with.

I live alone at 19 without a healthy relationship with my family it has of course hit me incredibly hard. I was thankfully able to refund the money i had spent of my college tuition as a communications technologist and started working at a local factory. Although it was a help at the beginning, my saved money is quickly depleting and am in dangerous need of funds.

Honestly any amount helps in the slightest way. My biggest hope is to have enough money to actually pursue and obtain a college degree.

 

I have a pool set up with PayPal if you wish to help me out. Thank You!!

Single Mom ordered to pay Court Costs

I am a single hardworking Mom.  I was taken back to court by my daughter’s father because he didn’t want to pay child support.  I initially tried to handle this on my own because I didn’t have the funds to pay for a lawyer.  After a couple of months I was so overwhelmed I had no choice but to borrow funds and hire a lawyer.  Once I did that my Ex buried me in paperwork and motions to avoid paying support.  This process started in March of 2017 and by March 2018 we were still no further ahead. His intention to bury me financially was working.  By June I had to self represent because I could no longer afford to pay for a lawyer.  My lawyer’s bill was up to $,9000.  But to make matters worse, he forced us to trial.  I had to try to represent myself and thought I was doing okay until the Judge ordered me to pay him court costs in the amount of $35,000.  It was a completely unfair judgement, but because I didn’t have a lawyer I was ignored.  His lawyer wouldn’t even listen to my pleads for leniency.  I have been ordered to pay forthwith.  I have been making payments to pay my lawyer fees and not only don’t have the funds to pay the court costs but now I only have 60 days.  At that point I am so afraid as to what can happen.  I have no one that I can borrow the money from or anyone I can ask for help.  I am embarrassed to have to ask for help, and to post this request, but I have no other alternative as I don’t have enough income to qualify for any kind of institutional loan.  I am trying to get a second job and desperate and would so appreciate any help that any kind and generous souls would offer to keep my daughter and myself from being homeless.  I am trying to keep my daughters name out of the records, but could show a copy of the court order to those who need me to prove this is a real dilemma that I am trying to deal with.

Drowning Student

Hi. My name is Taylor and I am currently in university, studying communications. I am working hard to make this experience the best one of my life, but I can’t seem to shake all the debt that I have accumulated. I am currently working two part time jobs on top of going to school, but even they do not make ends meet. Rent, Credit card, utilities, phone bill. Everything is piling up and I am drowning in my debt. I don’t think I will be able to come up with this month’s rent because of the other bills and lack of funds that I have. 

With my two jobs, I am working 35+ hours a week (minimum wage), I am in class 15 hours a week and the rest of the time I am studying to keep my grades up.  The amount of debt that I have accumulated is causing me extreme levels of stress and my grades are suffering as a result. To break down my various bill payments this month, I have rent at $600, utilities which are usually around $150, phone bill $95, credit card sitting at $3,000 (which is down from what I paid for tuition). I am doing my best to pay down my debts as well as pay off my bills, but it is not working right now. If I put most of my pay on my credit card, the interest doesn’t affect it, but if I use my pay to make rent, my phone bill and utilities then I am unable to put enough on my credit card debt to counteract the interest rates.

I have recently looked into getting a third job for the month of December when I am on break from school, so hopefully that helps somewhat, but right now I am struggling and the third job wont be able to help me make this month’s rent.

I am optimistic that the people of the world are in a giving mood this holiday season and are able to help me out. I would not basking for help if I did not need it the most. I have waited longer than I should have to reach out to someone and now I am in trouble. I am begging for any help that you could offer. I am in dire need of some sort of assistance and anything would help me.

Poor Girls

So me and my partner both struggle from depression bad anxiety. Which makes it hard to work also my partner is disabled but hasn’t been able to get support because they were just finally diagnosed with Burstitis after suffering for 8 years and having no doctor believe her. She hasn’t been able to work for the last 4 years from the severe pain and is in her second year of university for mortuary science. So she is thousands of dollars in debt from student loans for tuition and books.

Because of my mental illness I easily breakdown especially when it comes to work because I work with someone who has sexually and mentally abused me. It’s a situation I’m dying to get out of but due to money issues trying to change jobs isnt a very easy option since I risk having no income at all from it.

I have two credit cards both just barely under their 2500 dollar limit. But I also have a 10 000 loan from Fairstone so its 15 000 dollars just there from trying to cover rent and grocery expenses between the two of us. I know it’s a lot to ask but any money is alot for us in our situation.

 

We pay 1100 in rent each month between the both of us

My cellphone is 60

Groceries are usually 400 for the whole munch give or take. We make due with as little as we can since we mostly have boxed pasta and chicken for food.

Both of us have prescriptions for drugs

Mine usually runs to be 60 a month and hers is 100.

 

I dont know of anybody has money to spare for us at all but anything helps us for living and paying off debt. I know its alot yo ask from people.

Help us Home

Dear Donator,

 

I appreciate you even taking the time at this point to read this post. I just want thank you for your consideration.

My wife and I recently moved to Canada. We moved here in July. We love what we’re doing here and I have been blessed being here. I just recently started working as a youth pastor and I love the work that I’m doing. I was born in Canada, but my family moved us to the States when I was just one. Now that I am back in Canada, though I’m not technically new to Canada, some of the banks are willing to consider me that since I haven’t been back in such a long time.

The one problem we are having though is my wife is not Canadian. Since she is not a Canadian citizen, she cannot get a job yet so we don’t have another income coming into the home.We just recently found out she is pregnant as well. We are so happy and blessed. The one thing with her papers to residency is she needs to have a medical exam but she cannot finish it due to needing an x-ray and since she is pregnant, an x-ray could do harm to the baby. She won’t be able to get a job until after June.

 

We are living in a rental property as of right now and because we have 2 dogs we needed to find a place with a fence so rent is kind of high for us at this point. We would love to buy a home. We love Calgary and would love to settle down here. One of our dreams was to have our own home before the child comes so that all is well set for him or her. We would rather our own home and not a rental so that it feels more at home for us never needing to run into issues with rental. I just want my child to have his or her own room and be well.

Since my wife cannot work, our finances aren’t the tightest at this point. I had to take a trip and it incurred some debt from my credit card. I spoke to a mortgage consultant and she explained that since I have little to no credit so far in Canada i just have to get this one credit card as low as possible.

It’s difficult to get it down since basically all that I get paid goes to rent, bills and household groceries, gas, etc.

Also I had to pay off $1500 to get my car fine tuned in order to have it fully functional here in Canada when I crossed the border. There were just a lot of payments that I had to make and certain debts incurred.

 

I’m just asking for up to $5000 to be able to help pay down this credit card and help with down payment to our home. In doing so:

  1. My credit score will raise
  2. I’ll have a better chance at Buying a home
  3. We would have a home for our child

I’m really hoping we can receive this just to help get things back on track fully and for us to be able to move from renting and buy a home. Thank you for your support in advance. It will help us be able to establish ourselves much better.

Just think of this as a baby shower gift for a stranger. Thank you.

 

Blessings to you and I hope you have a wonderful day.

Please help me get my dog back

Thank you for taking the time to read my request for money.

In the photo is my dog Meeka.

Meeka was starved and left on a leash without shelter last winter, I just had to have her! I hate people who don’t take proper care of their pets because they cant speak up! We have to be the ones speak for them and fight for them.

Anyways, My roommate always leaves the gate open when he leaves, I don’t know why he hasn’t learned yet to check to make sure it is closed!!!  due to his dumbness, My dog got picked up by the SPCA, for me to get her out its $106 PLUS $100 fine for running at large, I have 4 days with everyday $15 extra.

Its Christmas time, I have two kids and just dealt with a break-up with my kids father, My financial situation right now is down in the dirt’s.  If i want to provide even just one Santa percent for each of my kids with stalking suffers, Then there is no way what so ever for me to come up with that kind of money right now in order to get my dog back.

Meeka is a wonderful dog, when she is not outside, Then you will find her sitting beside me.  All I can think about is how scared she is right now, I really hope she doesn’t think I wont be back for her.  I would never be able to live with myself if I didn’t bring her back home.  Me and my kids miss her greatly and would love our baby back home. If you could at anyway possible help out that would be much appreciated.  No good  deed comes unnoticed, I will pass it on when I am available too do so.   All I need is $206 to get her. Honestly, a little extra for my kids Christmas would be a HUGE bonus! But I am not holding my breath.

** The one photo shows how skinny she was when I got her home.

I would be forever grateful, and  thank you in advance for helping me and my two kids get our dog back.

Need Help Reaching My Goals

 

Hello to whoever is reading,

My name is Parvaty Chery and here is my story on how I need 10,000$. I hope you guys are having a wonderful day while reading this and you have the generosity to donate to my campaign. I already have a job, I work from home, but no matter how hard I work, I don’t get paid enough.

The reason why I need 10 grand, is to manifest my dreams and wishes. The first I am going to do is buy myself new phone, and an ipad, because my android tablet doesn’t work anymore. I also plan on buying a camera. By buying these things, I am planning on starting a social media influencer career, my dream job, and even start my blogging website. I also am going to buy personal necessities for myself, such as self care products.

I also want to be able to buy my brother a new phone, and also reward many of my friends and family with presents and gifts. I also want to be able to help my parents build a new house and deal with legal stuff.

With a part of the money, I am going to save it for my college education that I am saving for. I want to study dental hygiene and it cost a lot, but, with a part of the donation, I will be able to save much more.

Lastly, I am going to use that money to travel. I am a huge fan of wanderlust, and I love going to different places and enjoying the diversity. This summer I am planning on going to Japan with my best friend as well.

This is my story.It might not mean anything to you, and its maybe not as important as other stories, but, it would mean the world if you take your time on donating. That way, you’ll be helping me accomplishing my goals.

Thank you for reading!

Liver transplantation to my mom

Hi everone,

My name is Alzahraa,Originally from Egypt and live now with my husband and two kids in Canada.

I came to Canada as a sponsored spouse 4 years a go.

I am a single daughter to a two lovable parents live in Egypt.

When I was young ,I used to see my mom have some hepatic issues from a viral infection she had when she was young and had affected her liver function for life.

Few months a go my mom condition started to get worth and her liver enzymes are getting elevated and that is make the need to have liver transplantation is urgency.

Unfortunately, in Egypt there is no medical coverage for those kinds of surgery.

The cost of the surgery is 754,000EP which is almost 50,000 CAD,we already have 612,000EP which Is almost 40,000  CAD.

So what we need is almost 10,000 CAD.

I have been working to have that a mount for months and I consumed every single chance.

It is not easy for me to ask for money but I am talking to all hearted people who can help by even 1 $ to help us doing my mom surgery as soon as possible.

I have attached a letter from the hospital by the cost and I am willing to let anyone can help by all the updates a bout my mom condition.

To everyone reading my words,I am crying here because there is a chance to lose my mom and even my dad ,he doesn’t have anyone one except me and I am dying of feeling guilty that I left them and came here to start my life with my husband.

Please,if you can help by anything don’t hesitate…it is gonna make a difference.

Thanks for everyone taking the time to read my words and please wish us to have my mom back a gain !

NEED HELP TO GET MY LIFE BACK

 

Hello to everyone that stopped to read my post. 

First thank you! 

My name is Amanda and I am a single mom to a beautiful son named Xander, he is turning 4 end of January. 

I have never done anything like this before especially to total strangers. I am using my faith and optimism that something will work out for me FINALLY! Lol

I am huge in having good mojo and always willing to help another , even when I don’t have much to give myself. I don’t expect good karma back when I help others but won’t lie and say I don’t think about it. 

 

Here is a a quick run down. I haven’t had the easiest life with having my father pass away young, my mom choosing work or men over her kids. 

I never fit inside the box my family expected from me so that has always isolated our relationships. 

I have picked horrible men that have physically and mentally abused me and spent many years learning the lessons of life the hard way. 

On top of it all I am still here and full of love and compassion for others. I never went down the addict road in drugs or alcohol. Yes I dabbled but was always able to pull myself out. 

 

So let’s jump to recent. I broke up with my sons father almost 3 years ago. He walked out and left his son and myself with a apartment being evicted due to non payment of rent. 

 

I got myself self my own small apt on social assistance. Things were going smooth and I was working part time. THEN he stopped paying child support and I was laid off. 

I lost that apartment and ended up putting things in storage and basically couch hopping and living out of my car with my lil boy for 7 months. 

November of last year I lost close to $600 a month of government money called Child Tax Credit which every parent gets when they are single and low income. Well right before Xmas it was cancelled with no notice to find out my ex continued to file his taxes as common law which of course didn’t match up to my single status. 

The government totalled up the amount of payments for 2 years and said I owe them as they feel I was still with my sons father . 

I could challenge it by proving that I was actually single the whole time as they gave me a huge list of documents to provide. 

I have done that and more since then and they still find ways to tell me I need more proof. It has almost been a year without that money. 

I found a job north Alberta and finally got us a home. The job was supposed to start February 2018 and I was ready to get things back together again. 

Moved my stuff out of storage to find out that the person I was paying to store it (well my mom was paying) they helped themselves to most of my things. 

Still to this day I am using plastic utensils and plastic plates I keep rewashing. 

Most of my clothes that were stored have small mouse holes chewed in them. Along with my sheets and towels. 

But I make due cause well I can’t afford anything else. 

When I have money it all goes to my boy and his needs over mine.  

So February is here and I find out the company that was supposed to open is on hold because they have problems with permits and contracts. 

Now I am a year later still waiting for the business to officially open. 

I am stuck in a town of maybe 3000 people, no transit and tons of snow because it’s right up on the top of mountain range. 

 Other work here is hard to find and most are split shift. 

Unable to use my car as the tires are past bald and having no way to pay enough down for someone to watch my boy. 

I am in a huge jam! 

I don’t have family to ask for help. 

I don’t have friends here as I learned over the few months that most of the people have drug problems. I will not allow my son around any of that, period! 

His father doesn’t pay regularly per month and my mom has literally been my financial saviour. 

Government just barley pays my rent and the food bank runs on empty here. 

I am now feeling lost and almost defeated. 

I have found work back in the city I lived in Calgary, Alberta. 

The dayhome that used to watch my son is willing to work with me and is eager to have him again. 

Friends have found me a place to stay until I get my feet back under me…: such positive things. 

I AM STUCK :( 

The travel is 8 hrs and my tires are just too dangerous to make that trip. 

Any money I do have just buys us food, clothing (my son). Nothing special or big in anyway. 

Now Christmas is coming and I feel horrible that I might have to ignore this season once again. 

I have no tree and even if I did I have no decorations for it. 

Then presents….I don’t have extra money to buy myself much needed personal supplies let alone a present for him to unwrap. 

I am staying awake most nights trying to plan a way to come up with the money to load up my car with our main things and drive to Calgary where I can finally start to rebuild our life and give my son everything he deserves. 

I have sold what I had of value already to make it through the months where I am now. 

I don’t know what to do….I have no where to turn. 

I am a good person, a good mom. I don’t have any addictions and even with a ongoing painful back disease, I still manage to somehow make things work. 

I have been through so much in my life and have always came out the other end. 

My friends say they admire that about me that no matter what shit I deal with , I always make it through and never give up. 

Well, this girl is tired and is putting the energy out in a new direction and seeing if this is the way that will help open the door for life to get better. 

If this actually helps me to get back to the city and start my job and provide a home and new life for my son.: I will forever cherish that good stuff still happens for good people. 

I will always pay it forward and keep that fire burning deep inside me that I KNOW there is a reason why my path has been rough.  There is a reason why I have always come out the other side not being bitter or vengeful because of what has happened.

I just need this help to get my life rolling again. It feels like I am stuck in the mud and just don’t quite have enough umph to get that tire out. 

Thank you again for taking the time to read my request. I will gladly explain further to anyone who may have questions. 

If you donate, I truly appreciate your help and I will never let the paying it forward die away.

Giving up at the bottom of the mountain of debt.

Broken at the bottom of the mountain of debt. I need kind generous hands to help me climb up the mountain.

I am $43,000 in debt. It all started going downhill about 2 years ago. Have not found the uphill. I keep going deeper and deeper in debt. I beg for your help. I have tried everything I can think of to get myself out of debt. I have downsized everything I can. I do not have cable, home phone, barely have heat in the winter, I do not buy meat, processed or pre-made food. Mostly buy vegetables. I don’t smoke, drink, gamble or play bingo. I don’t go out. I sleep and work. I am very unhappy/depressed. Blood Pressure runs 202/106 heart rate 101. Am on 5 different blood pressure medications. My A1C is 16. sugars run 29. Doctor says from stress and not eating properly. I have a great job. Minimum wage here is $10.60. I make $17 an hour. I work at a Nursing Home on the Alzheimer’s Cottage. You would think that is a great paying job. It is not. I bring home a little over $800 every 2 weeks. $1600 a month. I work 12 hr days. I get punched, kicked, bit, scratched all shift. I have had my jaw broken, my thumb broken and knocked unconscious, always have bruises. I go to work everyday with a smile. I take care of peoples loved ones. Get them dressed in clean clothes every morning. Make sure they eat well. I make sure they all laugh and smile during the day. We do have lots of fun. But they all do get very aggressive at times during the day. Our philosophy is no medication or the very minimum. Families and residents do refuse medication. I love my job. It just is not paying the bills I have incurred. My rent is the cheapest I can find within an hour’s drive to work. I pay $900 plus hydro. I have electric baseboard heat. From Nov – May hydro bill is $500 – $650. I hardly have anything left over after I pay rent and hydro.

Why am I so far in debt? Just when I think I am starting to make a dent in my debt something happens to put me right back up. My parents live 2000kms from me. My dad passed away 2 years ago. Kidney Cancer. For the year after he was diagnosed to the day he passed I used credit card to pay for the plane ticket to go there whenever he was in hospital. To fly within Canada is expensive. Up to $800 for a one way ticket. Dad did not have any life insurance. To pay for the funeral I had to put the cost on my credit card. I have not gotten that paid off yet. 6 months after dad passed my mom found out she has lung cancer. Flew up for the operation to remove that part of her lung. 3 months after that found out mom has bladder cancer. Flew up for the operation to scrape off the cancer. 4 months later found out kidney cancer. Drove up for that operation to remove her kidney. Had to take 18 weeks off work to care for mom. Got EI for 15 weeks for that. That was like $900 a month. 2 months after kidney operation mom had 2 heart attacks. Congestive Heart Failure. Fluid around the heart and lungs. In and out of Intensive Care ever since. A month ago found out the bladder cancer is back. Waiting for operation. I don’t have enough hours to go on EI. I am currently off work in Intensive Care with my mom. I am almost out of sick hours at work. This stay with my mom will be unpaid. I have applied for another credit card to pay for my rent till I get back to work. Not sure I will get one. My vehicle now loves the mechanic at the garage. I have a 2006 Pontiac. Runs great never any trouble. Until lately. All the parts seem to want to give up. I am just about there myself. I can not get a loan to get a newer vehicle. That is what brings me to you. I owe $43,000 in credit card debt and line of credit. In the next 3 months I will be at least $5,000 more in debt. I have no family or friends to help me. Only know the people I work with and care for. I did not ever see myself in this much debt 10 years before retirement. Retirement may not be in my future.

I do good deeds everyday. Helping people in front of me at gas station or grocery store that are a little short on change. I hold the door open for people. I smile and say Hi to everyone I walk by. When I get my debt down to 0 or at least to where I can pay it forward. I will help someone that has hit bottom and needs a hand up to start going uphill.

I thank you all for your kindness and generosity in my time of need.

Enjoy your day

Please help keep me with my Husband

Hello,

A kind soul’s help would be invaluable to us this time of year. My husband and I are in a rough situation where we owe over $12,000 in taxes due to an old business we ran and failed. The business has brought us $100,000.00 dollars worth of debt, including the government taxes. Days and nights without dinner or lunch have been many. Restaurant and food court smells fill our stomachs instead of food when we are out shopping, and on special dates we order one large plate and share while spending the rest on a dessert to share, too. We are newly married, and the fact that we couldn’t afford wedding bands goes without say (if we had them we would have sold them to pay towards our debt). Savings were spent on a winter jacket and boots after pre-owned coats failed to keep out the stinging cold, and boots were absent from our wardrobe. We have reached the point where we have had to rent part of our tiny apartment to a student-friend, until they find a new room to move in. It is difficult because we have little private, safe space for emotions, so we are more quiet than talkative these days. Working hard, we have payed just over $5,000.00 worth of debt to collection agencies and former business suppliers. I am not a permanent resident of this country, and while processing my papers, it is best to show my husband does not owe government fees, being the $12,000.00 in taxes. I have a university degree but cannot work because I am neither a permanent resident nor do I have a working permit, and neither of us have family whom we can reach out to for help. Many of our belongings have been sold just to make ends meet. My husband is a warm-hearted, empathetic man, who could not stand to see the homeless on the street without a proper meal, and customized dishes to their taste. He sponsored seven children from third-world countries simultaneously to make sure they could eat and afford school. He donated to hospitals, and until today, donates a few dollars several times a month when we come across those even more in need than ourselves, with no shelter or tattered clothes. Once we are back on our feet without debt, we will be sure to pay this back, by helping community members once again, sponsoring children and giving confident sums of donations like we once could. He always puts me before himself, and has a warm, empathetic heart. He is intelligent and hard working, and has never missed a day of work except once a few months ago when he came down with the flu. He is never one to miss an opportunity to work and educate himself through podcasts and books; his daily before and after-work rituals. The $100,000.00 debt sum is only the sum we owe, and not our daily living expenses, such as rent, gas, and prescription + doctor visits. Please help keep me with the love of my life, as my application must be submitted within a timely manner within these few months, but we cannot make $12,000 by then nor do we have anyone left to ask. I would like to submit my application with my husband’s best possible government financial standing. Attached are images of the letters he received from agencies who mailed to let him know his debt sum was cleared. I do not have access to his tax account, though. Several months ago, a scam agency had us lose $2,000.00; where we found it was a scam too late, referring to themselves as “related to the government”— and we hurriedly payed everything we had in fear. This resulted in us having to borrow to pay our rent and other dues, and adding to our cycle of debt. My whole life, I have never had to ask for money from others, nevertheless had I ever had to borrow from anyone. Our goal is to clear everything up within a few years, but halfway through, we want to be able to rent a suit and a dress and take wedding photos; and build savings for our future. A warm soul’s help during this season would be a priceless act of kindness towards us. He is the love of my life. Please help keep us together. Any amount possible for donation would be of great help and thank you.

Once we are on our feet again, we will be able to give back to others like we once could, hopefully not only through money, but through time and warm meals as well.

-Hoping for Help, hand in hand

p.s. image is of only letter we have received stating we have payed back something completely.

Bad things come in 3’s…or 4’s and now i need a little help

              OVERWHELMED

To Whom It May Concern,

Hi. My name is Wayne Allchin, I am 43 years old and I live in Canada. I am writing this because I don’t know where to turn at this point. In January of 2017, my 10-year long relationship ended. My common-law wife and I had purchased a house together, when we separated I gave her the house. I did not ask for any money for signing the house over to her, I still love her very much and I did not want to make the situation harder than it needed to be. My Mom and Step-Father allowed me to move in with them while I tried to get back on my feet.

In December of 2016 I had gone  for routine tests on my heart. As well as being diagnosed with Type-1 Diabetes at age 8, I was born with a malformed heart and on my 1st birthday, I underwent surgery called The Transposition Of The Great Vessels Of The Heart. In 2006 I underwent more open-heart surgery to fix a hole in my heart. I received the results of my cardiac tests in March of 2017. They were not good. The hole that had been repaired in 2006 had begun to leak blood again. This would have explained my lack of energy and my tiring very easily. I was told that because of all the scar-tissue that was on my heart from the previous surgeries, I was no longer a candidate for repair. My next surgery would be a transplant. Unfortunately I cannot be placed on the list yet because of my OTHER health condition. I was diagnosed with Diabetes when I was 8. I have been diabetic for most of my life and I have not always followed the rules. Because of that, I now have kidney disease. My kidneys function between 24 and 32%. This means that if I were to have a Heart Transplant, my kidneys would not survive, which could be fatal. I cannot have a Kidney transplant because my kidneys must be functioning below 12% before I can be put on a transplant list. I would need to have the 2 surgeries done at the same time. Which is a daunting task, physically AND logistically. All of these medical issues have made it hard for me to work a full time job. I am currently working very part-time hours at my local Best Buy. I used to put in 80-100 hour work weeks as a frontline support worker for people with disabilities. I now rely on government funding to pay my bills, but it is not enough to live on.

On October 4th of this year, I crashed my car into someone’s truck as I pulled out of a parking lot. The accident was my fault and I take full responsibility for it. My insurance covered the other person’s vehicle but, because I barely make enough to survive, I do not have collision coverage on my car, I am responsible for my own damages. I don’t have the $6000.00 to fix my car. All this stress has caused family relationships to fray and it would be best if I moved on. I have found a friend whom I can live with, but I need to buy essentials such as bed-sheets and towels.

I am writing this because I need to either fix my car OR buy another car. I paid $7000 for my 2009 Mazda3. I really like that car. I have been looking for something comparable but slightly newer. I am still in the $7500 to $9000 price range.

I am NOT asking for much. If I can raise $8000 to $9000 just so I can try and get back on my feet, it would mean so much to me. My plan is to go back to school and get a degree in Social Work so I can help people and not run myself into the ground in the process.

I never thought i would be in this situation. Thank you for your time.

I will return the favour, when I am able.

It has been a long road for me, with some bad choices with good intentions. But now I have three children and the weight of the debt incurred is staggering and it’s time to ask for help. I am embarrassed, but desperate.

https://www.paypal.me/aimeelamoureux

I should say first, that I have been diagnosed with depression and anxiety. Just from the sheer madness and instability my life, it was inevitable. I was molested as a child, and it started a lifelong journey of self loathing and despair. I put myself in situations I never should have been in, and associated with people I shouldn’t. Because of that behaviour, I was raped when I was 20 years old, while in college (trying to do some upgrading that I needed at the time). After the rape, I just couldn’t quite deal with my life. My life felt solidified in despair. There was no hope. So, I just continued being destructive, because in my mind, it didn’t matter what I did.

I married a man I didn’t love and who treated me like crap. He wasn’t exactly physically abusive as he was emotionally abusive. He would come home from work and I didn’t know who was coming through that door. Was he my friend? Was he my enemy? I gained around 60 lbs for the 19 months we were married. I hated my life. But leaving was a must.

I was transient for much of my 20’s.. living from one place to another, accumulating debt and trying to find happiness where I could. I married again, after my Father passed away. I think I was just trying to find some stability. That husband was a great guy, but I had too much baggage to stay. We had two (amazing) children together before I left. I was suffering from Postpartum Psychosis when I did leave, though. So part of it was my brain wasn’t mine. It belonged to whatever sadness took over.

Two months after having my second child, I rekindled a relationship with an old boyfriend (whom is now my husband). It was a bewildering year, to say the least. But, I DO believe I am with whom I should be with. We, together, create stability and it has been such a tremendous blessing. Last year we had a child together and it has been blissful..

That being said, our debts from my prior poor decisions have come to a place where we can’t possibly survive this. I am back in school – majoring in something that I am passionate about. I want to work with atypical children. Children that were like me.. children that slipped through the cracks. I need to do this.

My husband is a wonderful, caring man. He works with people with developmental delays and it warms my heart knowing that he does this. It just doesn’t pay enough (or enough hours) to pay off our debt. We’re at a tune of $70k. I know.. it’s staggering.

But if we could get out of this and start fresh – we could offer each other, our children and society so much. We’re both finally in a place emotionally that we are able to give back in other ways that are not monetary. I love to volunteer when I can. I do have three children, so time is a factor. But, with having that debt gone – I would be more free to spend my time more wisely.

I never thought in a million years that I would be begging online for money.

But, for my children, I will.

For my husband, I will.

For that little girl that I used to be.. that broken girl. She deserves a fresh start. So I’ll do it for her.

Please help. I implore you.

It will go to where it needs to go, that is a promise. Then hopefully one day, we’ll be in a position that we can help out a family that so desperately needs it.

Thank-you for listening. 45857253_895844543944551_8991873591658151936_o.jpg

A truck for wood cutting and hauling

Hello. I am in need of a truck I can use for wood cutting and hauling back. My old truck has broken down last year. I’ve been unable to repair it because it has sustained to much damage over the years through use. It was a good old jalopy and has served me well. I had to buy truck loads last winter which can cost $200 or more. For myself and family, the wood sheds can take up to ten truck loads. One load doesn’t last very long depending on weather and the person. I was cutting it close last year. Down to 5 logs at one point. Its gets pretty cold in northern Ontario. I would rather not wait and see if someone is selling a load or if it has been bought already. Thank you for your consideration.

Falling apart at the seams…

I think the worst thing I could think of myself doing is asking someone else for money. I am a hard worker-a trusted friend, employee, who pays her taxes, pays rent on time and tries not to miss any payments. My partner recently lost his part time job and we didn’t think it would effect us like it has. We have fallen behind on on bills,  and honestly, it has effected our relationship to the MAX to the point where i don’t know if we will make it… I wake up every morning with a heart ache that feels like my whole world has vanished and all the happy butterflies in my stomach have died.  I never thought money problems would be the route of my sadness. I used to be the type of person who would say “Money doesn’t buy Happiness” but when you cant afford lunches for your stepdaughter or a coffee on the way to work because your afraid that every dollar you spend is being taking away from your rent, heat, light, well being- you start to think-heck yah some money would make me happy right about now. I suffer from depression and it has gotten so much worse since our money issues started a few months back. I have applied for loans, gotten myself in more debt, started building wall decor, learned to knit just trying to make an extra dollar here and there but its not enough. With Christmas fast approaching I think of how dark it will be for my family. I understand things don’t make you happy – but not having money for at least a few gifts under the tree worries me. It worries me that I am choosing to pay rent, over food, gas, utilities. Paying rent is on top of everything else. Shelter is super important especially this time of the year. People say they wish they has a million dollars, I only wish I had $5000… I cant get any more loans because I have a loan to pay off already and I do not want to lessen my credit score…$5000 would help me pay rent for next two months and fix my car that is in desperate need of tlc. Without my car I will not have a way to bring my stepdaughter to school, I won’t have a way to get to work- therefore cant pay bills with no job- $5000 is all I need to start fresh. I have thought about what number would be important to me, and thats it. Its the gas, groceries, and rent I don’t have money for. I have put aside all medical, my partners dental issues to side. – Bills are more important at this time. As much as I wish I had enough to pay for my boyfriends root canal or the Councillor I am supposed to be seeing, paying my bills on time is what matters most and getting out of debt. I want a bright future for my stepdaughter, I don’t want 2018 to be the year it all went to shit. Help me, And I promise, from the bottom of my heart, I would pay it forward. I think if I had the money to help people, Id be the happiest person on the planet.

Thank you for your consideration,

Sincerely, a very desperate young woman writing this on her break at work – last resort before lights/heat and tv get cut.

Help me pay my sisters funeral cost

My beautiful sister, Jean, passed away tragically in a car accident and my brother and I need help to cover her funeral costs. We have our eyes on a coffin that costs $1500. The cost for the funeral director is also $1500, to get her body embalmed is $600 and the cost for her burial plot and gravestone is $800. The viewing and funeral service cost is $1200. We are able to cover some of the costs but we need your help in being able to cover the full cost of it all.

Jean Maggie Simonson was born July 18 1995 to Neil and Alissa of Saskatoon Saskatchewan. She was a beautiful young girl with an open and fun loving heart. She grew up with her two brothers, me (Seth) and Tanner. She grew up tough because we would always be fighting one another. When mom died in a car accident when Jean was only 13, she took it bravely. She was often the one to comfort Dad when he was having a rough time. She was such a pleasant girl and nice to everyone. She took care of dad after he had a heart attack but he was infected by his catheter and a few months later he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. He lost the fight and he passed away on July 17 2013, one day before Jean turned 18. She became very sad and depressed and went to live with her Aunt Viola in Winnipeg. There she worked at a Tim Hortons for 3 years and then decided to move back to Saskatoon where she met Adam McAllister from Prince Albert. They fell in love and after a year of dating she moved in with him. When the couple was driving home from Saskatoon on November 3rd 2018 they met a drunk driver who didn’t stop at a stop sign and caused Adams truck to roll 6 times. Our Jeanie was killed. She was 23. Adam suffered brain damage, a broken arm, and few broken ribs. The drunk suffered no injuries. She is dearly missed by everyone who knew her. We all loved her so much and we all long to see the mischievous twinkle in her eyes, to see her flash her dazzling smile and hear her contagious laugh just one more time.

In desperate need of help for the 1st time in my life!

Hello there,

I know you do not know me but I appreciate you taking the time to read my current hardships. I am a single mother and It has been a rough few mths. I had to withdraw from a school last minute, stop building my business, and was ripped off by a realtor(for rental properties) and I had items damaged in storage that also ended up affecting the funds I had to provide.

It has been a very rough few months. I have spent so much time giving in my life that now when I have finally needed the help all those that were close to me were not who they seemed to be. Luckily I have had a couple friends that have tried to be helpful anyway possible.

Unfortunately, no home is the current situation. I would like to work again but it is impossible with no home. I can give back to those who have read this and may help. I have always worked hard for everything but it seems that I have hit a very high mountain that I keep trying to climb over but I now know that I cannot without help.

I have no real family and need your help. I have not posted any pics because I have no idea what pic I would post. I am very honest amd positive but now I am tired and in need of help to get a home to rent so I can work again immediately and get everything back on track. I had many goals and I am very ambitious but I had put all that on hold im the last few months im order to sort this all out.

 

Please help.

Sincerely,

Single mother in desperate need of help

Mentally Ill Painter

20181018_182826_20181018183408794_20181018183521225.jpg

I’m in a difficult situation and need all the help I can get. I recently moved to a new city with very high rent prices for my partner’s new job. He doesn’t start until January and neither of us have found work yet. Even once he starts, it’s a temporary position with a low salary until he has the experience.

I was diagnosed a long time ago with major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety, social anxiety and borderline personality disorder. I can often mask my symptoms and if I’m on the right medication I can live a pretty normal life. Before I moved I spent the better half of a year trying new medications with no success after realizing my depression was taking a huge toll on me. My doctor became uncomfortable treating me because none of the medications were working without dramatic side effects and I was referred to a psychiatrist and a recovery program through the regional mental health center. The psychiatrist ended up being on sick leave for a couple months and I didn’t receive a call for an open appointment until after I moved.

So now I am in a new city and I have run out of money while looking for an apartment by myself (eating out for the entire time because I couldn’t cook meals and spending money on transportation, rent and deposit has eaten up all of my savings). I need rent for the end of the month and I don’t even have enough money for groceries until then. When I am mentally stable I can make money from my paintings and a part-time job, but my disorders are worst in stressful situations and I am trying to keep my head above water without putting myself in a dangerous situation. It’s very difficult to make and sell art in this state while also trying to look for additional employment. My credit is bad so I was denied credit cards from banks and just want to avoid taking out a high interest loan (that I might not even be accepted for). My family has already loaned me money. I feel like there’s no way out at this point. I called the local mental health centre and they suggested going to a walk-in doctor before I take any other measures so it will be a long road to recovery. I was trying so hard to get out of my slump before the move but now I’m worse off. I’ve applied for a credit card that accepts bad credit hoping it will give me funds until I can make money but it likely won’t be enough. I’ve been applying to many jobs that I actually want but if I’m not accepted anywhere soon I’ll turn to serving or retail, but I really want something that won’t make my depression worse. My partner is urging me to talk to a financial advisor but the idea makes me nauseous because of my social anxiety, and I know that if they can’t help me it will put me in a very bad place. I’m trying to work up the courage to go but again, I don’t know how much it will help. It also makes it extremely difficult to approach people and do well in interviews and I have no confidence.

I know I have so much potential as a human being but I keep letting myself down, and I keep ending up in situations I feel trapped in. If I can make my way through rent this month I’ll have enough time to finish the paintings that will make me next month’s rent and find a somewhat steady job. I have hope for the future but I need to make it through this rough patch.

Any help at all would be so greatly appreciated. I do have some art that hasn’t been sold (mostly drawings or quick paintings or things I like but other people don’t want to buy) and I’m willing to make prints of anything I’ve done. I’m not exactly sure how this website works but if you can send me an email or message I can send my artist website to you. Or include your email in paypal.me note (just send 1 cent if you’d like or whatever the minimum is if you just want my website).

Thank you ♡

Need Help With First and Last’s.

I am not entirely sure how to put this into 400 or more words, but basically in the summer I got really sick mentally. I was unable to go to work and due to the fact I work at a telecom call centre, where my job is essentially to get yelled at over things I cannot control, my stress and overall depression from my job caused me to have a huge nervous breakdown that I am still recovering from but I think I’ll be okay.

The kicker is that because of the breakdown I had and because the nurse practitioner I see to replace my former doctor (he retired) doesn’t see my breakdown as severe when it really was (I was totally mute for a month and a half and eating would make me instantly throw up), no paper work was sent to my workplace’s HR and I did not get paid at all in July or August. My landlord has run out of patience and if I do not come up with 2,300 (2 month of rent @ 950 + 2 NSF fees @ 100 + $200 owing from trying to clean up Augusts’s rent). The image I have attached is a rent receipt that I received that indicated 2 month’s of rent + 2 nsf fees +99.70 extra (which is inaccurate, we did the math together it should be an additional $200).

The reason I am asking for help is because even with being back to work again starting next week, I am very behind on things like phone and internet (which are essential for trying to find a new apartment that is more cost effective, as well as scheduling therapy appointments), and utilities and hydro. I really need to get caught up so I don’t lose my home, my parents will not take me back in as they feel that anybody over 18 is automatically supposed to fend for themselves and none of my friends have room for me. I’m 22 years old and I never once in my life thought I’d go through such a huge breakdown like I did.
