Trying to buy a home

Hello, I am 28 and from Romania and I am struggling financially.

From a young age the only thing I could understand was fear, fear from the bullies at school, fear from a good old beating I had coming for not scoring a good enough grade, and probably the straw that broke the camel’s back, my alcoholic dad. He never really hurt me physically, no that part was reserved occasionally for my mother, the psychological trauma tho, it haunts me to this very day, the countless nights which sometimes turned to weeks of waiting for the late hour in the night my dad would eventually come home, intoxicated of course, and bust the door in and terrorize us for 1-2 hours…

Eventually my parents got divorced although the damage was already done, my mother became very spiteful at the world due to all the traumatic years she endured while I just remained my own fearful inhibited self, struggling to form the most basic of bonds. My appearance may fool some or maybe not, so far nobody told me “hey, you’re a weirdo” but I am pretty confident I can fake my way through society without raising too many eyebrows.

My parents continued their toxic hate/love relationship, hate being the strong point, even after their separation, for financial reasons as well as my sake I assume. I had mixed feelings about this at first, not knowing whether to be happy or fearful of this seemingly peace treaty and I eventually understood that it was ultimately a bad thing, my dad never quit his alcoholism. I know most people get strength from these type of situations and push through and have successful careers and families, I wish I had the strength to overcome this anxiety sooner and try to build my life, sadly the only coping mechanism I had was to alienate everyone and shut down completely, immersed in fantasy worlds where I felt I had some control.

I am ashamed to do this and expect anyone to give me money for my selfish/insignificant wish of moving out of the apartment where I am currently living with my mother so I can start my own life, but I just can not save up enough from my current job in order to afford or sustain a long term bank loan, not that any bank would even grant me a large enough loan on my current salary. Even with a program the government initiated ‘Prima Casa’ which loosely translates to ‘First Home’ I would be engaging in a 30 year loan that I would not be able to sustain and end up homeless.

I know my situation sounds insignificant but I am begging anyone that has anything to spare to help me fulfill this dream of owning a home which will serve as the building blocks of getting my life on track, away from all the stress inducing arguments and fights so I can worry about less stressful things like paying the utility bills for my new home.

My goal is to only save up enough money for my very own apartment, a current target of 60000 €, and I will be posting weekly updates with my progress!

Anything you can spare is a blessing and I would be eternally grateful!

Financial Emergency!

I’m really in a bit of trouble and could really do with some help! I’m going on holiday to visit my girlfriend in Germany in 10 days and I’ve been saving up some money for this holiday for a while. A few weeks ago, a friend, or at least someone who I thought was my friend, reached out to me because she needed help. She wasn’t on good terms with her parents and everyone else she had asked had turned her away and I decided to help her by loaning her some money, because she promised she would get me back, especially after I explained that this was my holiday fund and I would need it back ASAP. She promised that as soon as she got paid she would give me the money back and I (stupidly?) believed her. One week went by, two weeks, three weeks and I still didn’t hear anything from her. I’ve sent her multiple messages and she hasn’t replied. She’s obviously intentionally ignoring my messages and that hurts because I helped her more than I could, I gave her a lot of money because she was a friend in need and now this is how she repays me. It feels like I’ve been played and I feel so stupid to have believed her. Now I’m supposed to be going on holiday for two weeks but I don’t even have enough to last me a few days over there. As much as I like to give people the benefit of the doubt, I’m fed up of this certain “friend” and I feel like I’ve been taken advantage of because she knows I like to help people out when I can. She seemed genuine with her promises to pay me back as soon as possible and she even offered to “take me out for dinner and drinks” as a thank you. She asked for different amount of money on about 5 or 6 different occasions, saying it would be the “last time” she would ask but yet she always came back for more, and I just went along with it. I’m not asking for much but please any little you can give towards my holiday with my beautiful girlfriend would be so much appreciated. It’s such a shame that generous people get taken advantage of and I would pray that any of you reading this will never fall victim to predators like my “friend”

Thank you so much and I appreciate you taking the time to read this. God bless

P.S.

I’ve attached a photo of part of our conversation where i told her i would need the money back ASAP because of my holiday, she pretended to acknowledge that but yet i still haven’t gotten any payment back from her

Repairing an old bike

Hi, my name’s Lea and riding has been my dream since I was like 13. Unfortunately before I could save up for my first bike, the person who offered it (dad’s friend) decided to keep it. I’ve used the saved money to move out from living with my dad. That was around 6 years ago. Since then I’ve worked through several jobs which paid less than appropriately and I’ve never really managed to save enough to consider buying a motorcycle.
I’ve also moved again since then, to hopefully get a better paid job, which unfortunately didn’t work out very well as I had to leave the job because it was very physically demanding.

Last year I got this old Yamaha in not-running condition as a gift from my girlfriend for Christmas. However she had an accident on the bike and it needs some repairs before it will be road legal (and safe) again. So far I am learning on the go and have managed to get it running to a degree.

What does the bike need?

New steering as it now has bent handlebars, brake overhaul – it has original brake lines from 1985, adjusting the carburators, new tyres (currently it has wrong size which won’t pass MOT) and MOT, fixing the fairing as it is cracked in several places from the fall and general maintenance. I am trying to learn as much as I can to decrease the costs by doing the maintenance myself, although some of it also requires special tools which I will try to either borrow from someone or need to buy.

I want to use the bike to ride to work, especially as public transport doesn’t have good connections everywhere and the sooner I can put it back on the road, the better.

I am currently unemployed, and although I am hoping that I will find a new job soon, my health is limiting me in the range of jobs I can apply for. I also have type 1 diabetes since I was 15 and also other medication which I have to pay for which is why it’s been rough to keep up financially, especially now without a job.

Having my own means of transport would greatly help in job selection since I wouldn’t have to rely on connections via public transport or could even work out of the city.

I would be very grateful for any financial support I can get, I will probably need somewhere between 500-1000 € to get the motorcycle fully operational but it is still cheaper than having a car at least.

If you’re considering donating or already have, thank you in advance and may you have a wonderful day!

Need Money to Start a new way of living

Hello, I apologize in advance for my English, I am from Belgium, right next to France :). My name is Anthony, I am 28 years old, I have a degree in Automotive Techniques, but until today I still have a hard time finding a good stable job. I have often worked as an interim, but nothing that corresponds with what I study. Because of this, I now find myself with several debts of about 15,000 euros. I several times try to take out credits to try to get by, but it was in vain because because I do not work, I do not enter the criteria. Most debts are not even voluntary. Some are the “gifts” that my ex-girlfriend left me … She couldn’t live with a guy who doesn’t have an unspecified contract… She was taking credits and subscriptions all over my name without me knowing … phones, magazines, internet shopping, …

It’s been 9 years since I finished school and I still don’t have a stable situation. I lose courage and I lose hope … sometimes I blame myself for being in this situation. My parents are ashamed of me, they constantly compare me to people my age and it frustrates me a lot. I would really like to be able to get by and start a life without all these pressures from creditors, justice, …

I would like to marry this beautiful woman I met without our lives being poisoned by debts. I would like to offer him a peaceful life, to have children, to be a man for my family.

I’ve already started putting money aside, but it’s not really moving forward. (I’m at 2000 euros). My goal is to pay the debts that bother me a lot and then opens a business. I would like to open my own garage, because I have the diploma and the skills to do so. Fortunately, it doesn’t really cost much thanks to the associations that there are here in Belgium.

Plus, I’d love to help orphans, but when you have nothing you can only dream of helping them. I am godfather to a little girl in Togo. This sponsorship costs me 30 euros a month and I would really like to be able to put more because since I was little I dream of being able to help children in distress, it has always spoken to me a lot …

I ask you with great humility to be able to lend a hand to a young man in distress please …

Debt relief

The last thing I ever wanted or imagined having to do was to end up in a situation where I needed to ask for money to help get me through a rough financial situation. I am now at a point where I have no other choice, my back is up against the wall, the stress has gotten to be too much for me and I am in need of assistance to get through this.

I am faced with large debt from the use of credit cards and fast loans I am in debt for approximately £11500 with no way to pay this off or down on my own. I didn’t get in this situation by living lavishly or spending foolishly. This was my means of surviving and helping to support myself and my family. My goal was to give my mother and grandmother the support they needed as my mom has not been able to work for over 25 years and with no help from other places it was all on me and my grandma and the help she badly needs and was not getting where she lives . I had to utilize credit cards to make day to day living for them possible. With no stable income ( I work in restaurant with unsecured schedule) or savings to fall back I’m no longer able to keep up with the debt and I’m falling in a very dark place. With My income is just enough to pay rent, utilities and other standard bills. I do not have funds to pay down this debt and the interest has kept climbing higher. They have turned to collections and I now face possible legal action against me. I am in a bad place and am highly stressed. I would love nothing more than to have this large weight lifted from my shoulders. I am asking for any help in getting this debt paid off or significantly lowered. I feel terrible having to do this as I have family and friends on Facebook, some of who have their own pages set up for help for health issues and wonderful causes. I never have the funds to help them because funds are just always tight for me, which makes it harder for me to have to ask for help from the same people I myself can’t help in return. Please, I really need help and ask if you can give whatever you can to help me through this, spread the word and share this among others you know as well. From the bottom of my heart, I am truly grateful and thank you so much for your help and support,

In need of 390 Euros Till 29.06.19(+ money return)

If you are reading this, thank you for your time!

My name is Radi and I am 20 years old and I am coming from Bulgaria. I am currently studying Computer Science abroad(Germany to be exact)… I had the time to work before starting to study. After the first semester kicked in(2018) I had to leave work because otherwise I would have no time to study(it was said we would need to spend 30 hours a week learning and preparing ourselves for a subject at the university and we had 4 subjects). Since I am a son of a single mother, if I am a student(which I am), Bulgaria’s NOI must pay me my long gone father’s pension on monthly basis(only while I am a student). They have the documents that I am currently studying and everything since January 2019. Still, they haven’t paid a cent to me. My mom has talked to them a few times, but every time she got an excuse after an excuse and a promise for a later and a later date… Anyway, here are some good and bad news :

I will start with the good news.

I’ve managed to get a flexible job and have a starting date – 23.06(I will be working ONLY when I have time to). And I’ve also got an interview at another pretty good company on the 25.06. I will be more than able to get my life together once again and manage to continue my studies in Germany.

The bad news?

I am really down on money right now, I barely have money left to eat. I’ve been trying to save money so bad for this month that I eat once a day. Unfortunately, it took a lot of time for companies to respond and interview me … Also I am a son to a single mom and there is no way she can help me. The reason for that is, she is still working in Bulgaria and people there get around 2 Euros per hour and some of the cheapest rents in the city are 180 Euros… I have nobody else to ask, so I decided to google real fast and that’s how I found out about this site.

I would need 390 Euros to pay my rent, because the first income I will be getting will be at the end of July and I won’t be able to eat and afford to pay rent in June. I’ve been doing some paid surveys as well and managed to save a little money so I can buy some food for the following days. I will find a way to deal with the food problem, I just need really badly help with the rent part.

Thank you for reading this and if you could help me out I would really appreciate it! If you’d write your name for the purpose of sending me money + how I can contact you, I will return your money at the end of July!

$50.04 Left to live on before I get thrown out on the streets.

Hi my name is Eric and my ass are about to hit rock bottom. Right now, I’m barely keeping my head above water by using my last money on food. I only buy the cheapest of food, and spread it out as good as I can. I’m applying for all jobs I’m qualified to do, but I either get declined or no answer at all. What I’m here for is just to ask for a little bit of help until I get a job and can take care of myself.

You may ask or think “Can’t you ask family or friends?”. I wish I could… My family rather go on vacations than helping me. They look down on me and don’t think I deserve help. Why? I have no idea. I guess they lack compassion for struggling people and don’t care to take a step into my life to see that I’m not a lazy ass, I’m just having a hard time. I’ having my mid life crisis and they don’t care as long as they can travel and eat out. In 2 months, I don’t even have a home and I have no idea on what is going to happen. I don’t live in a warm country (Norway), its very cold at night during the summer even, which makes me more afraid.

Either way, enough self-pity. I just ask for some help till I get on my own feet. I don’t expect a thing but I’ll still give this a try. If you feel like not giving to someone, I could provide an email for you to follow my journey as I go on and get back on my own feet. I’ll be forever grateful to those that lend a helping hand.

If you took time out of your day to read all this, thank you. Have a good day, wish you all the best.

College student who took on 1k in loans to see long distance girlfriend, then got fired from work.

Alright so basically I’m currently studying accounting (how ironic), last month I did something quite stupid for a girl I love. I live in the Netherlands, and she lives in Turkey. We met online and ended up dating, this would be the first time we’d meet up in real life. Now to do so I took out 1000 euros in loans through Ferratum, as I was without money for any plane tickets. Originally i wouldn’t have had any trouble with this, thinking I would get paid in time again to pay the loans off, and just be broke for a month afterwards.

That’s when things started going downhill, I got fired from my job, for literally no good reason. Now I won’t be getting paid what I need, meaning I wont be able to pay off these loans in time, unless there’s generous people around able to help me out. I’m trying to find a new job meanwhile, but it’s tough as i’m very busy with college aswell. I can’t ask my family for help as they have their own financial issues, I don’t wanna make my girlfriend pay for it either, nor do I wanna make any of you guys pay for it, but as I’m without any other choice at the moment, I’m here to ask you guys to please help me in this situation and not get stuck in a downwards spiral of debts at the age of 21 already.

Now while it is a shitty situation, there’s some positive to this aswell, as I got to be with my girlfriend for the first time, and I must say she’s worth it.

I wanna thank anyone that reads this for taking the time out of your day to at least read my little story. I know it’s nowhere near as bad as some of the other stories on here, but I still humbly ask for anyone’s help as I’m in need, and hope to return the favour in helping others some day myself.

Desperately waiting for help

Hello,

So..I don’t know where to start. It’s really hard to ask for help from strangers, but at the time I don’t know anymore what to do.

I’m a student in media field and an artist. I will get my degree on December 2019, or that’s what i have planned – my situation now isn’t good.

Two years ago after struggling with severe depression and traumas from being bullied and being a child of an alcoholic, I was really close to get my life back together. I got an apartment, part-time job and I got into my dream school. I was really happy to start living my life. Then one day, I was about to go to work and I got a massive panic attack. Never had experienced that before. It lasted over 1 hour, and i needed an ambulance. After that first panic attack the feeling of panic lasted. I didn’t go away, I couldn’t leave my apartment, I was too afraid to even fall asleep.

Well, when you are a student and have a job, problem with leaving your home is a real problem. I got an appointment to the doctor – had to wait for 4 weeks for that. So I ended with loosing my job and my being a student. That means I didn’t have an income.

Going back to current time, I have overcome the panic disorder – It haunts me everyday but I can live with that. The issue is that years ago, when this started I couldn’t pay my bills – now, i’m in a huge knot, I can’t pay my living. I can’t pay my rent, electricity – anything. Today my phone stopped working, cause of the problems with paying phone bills. I’m trying to get a job – any job, but know one can get in touch with me, they can’t call me.

So what I’m asking for is help, it doesn’t matter how much you can help me, any financial help is needed. All i hope, is to get my degree, keep my apartment, get a job and help others who are in this situation.

I am really thankful for you to read this desperate letter, If you can help me, thank you.

Help my father, a Vietnam-warchild, find his peace

Dear readers,

My name is Van and despite I always have been a person with a closed personality, I decided to open up my mind and try reaching out to seek help and tell about my story.

Before I was born:
My parents fled from Vietnam due to the effects which the Vietnam war brought to them.

About my mom:
It was just a regular day when my mom was walking with my half-sister in her arms when persons from the neighborhood pulled her onto a boat. It was no abduction, but of being afraid my mother saw them and not letting her be able alarming the neighborhood since they all tried to fled Vietnam that day with a small boat.

So my mother was sort of abducted in her opinion because my half-brother and other half-sister was still home in Vietnam at my grandmothers place having no idea about their mom and sister transformed into boat refugees in one single moment.

Mom told me sometimes it was a miracle they survived the boat flight, she did not care about where they would have ended, as long she could see again her son and daughter(my half brother and sister) who were still in Vietnam.

About my (grand)father:
My grandfather was a Vietnamese soldier who fought together with Americans against the North Vietnamese Army. He got shot in the back and died in front of my fathers eyes. My father, a war-child living half his life through the Vietnam War, survived that day and my grandmother borrowed money from the neighborhood letting my father, her only child, fled Vietnam in order to live a peaceful life.

Then I was born in 1988:
My parents met each other in The Netherlands. My dad helped her reuniting with my half-brother and sister in The Netherlands. I heard we were a happy family back then, till family on the other side of the world expected help from my parents, they asked more then my parents could afford, yet my parents always helped them. They did everything they could so our family in Vietnam could create a living for themself. In the end they got backstabbed by their own family and in 1999 my parents even divorced each other. My father ended to be lonely and we as half-siblings were living with my mom. I missed my dad, as my half-siblings could not know how much since he was not their real father. My father told me it would be better for me not seeing him anymore and forced me to live with my mom, so I did.

Reunited with my father after 18 years:
In 2017 I finally found my way to his home and when he opened the door, I saw a man being happy for seeing me again but sad at the same time.

What happened after he divorced my mom and lost the family is that he felt into depression and also had to carry for my grandmother in Vietnam who was diagnosed with bone cancer.

He sent money to a woman who claimed taking care of my grandmother, he always funded the living of my grandmother since he was her only son but living on the other side of the world. He worked hard just to be able to take care for my grandmother. Finally he found out that not all money he did sent to Vietnam was used for the care of my grandmother, but for self-enrichment by that woman who claimed taking care of my grandmother. Then I asked about my grandmother how she is doing, he answered that she passed away in the end of 2016. My father now is 62 years old and he mentally seems to be broken and stuck in a depression, he still need to work 5 years till he can retire but he will have nothing left when his retirements starts. He worked his whole life in metal-industry just to take care of his mother, who first helped him fleeing from the Vietnam war, that was his only life goal.

My Request:
I asked my father what he desires now grandmother is no more. He is a lonely man with no more goals left in life. He is even not thinking about taking care of his own life and future. I asked him whether he would like to live a life in Vietnam till his death? He answered positively but knew he can´t afford this wish since he saved nothing and spend everything he had for the caring of my grandmother. Even the house of my grandmother in Vietnam has been sold by the woman who claimed taking care of my grandmother. And we as foreigners can´t do anything about it.

I beg everyone who read this to reach out and help my father to be able returning to Vietnam, where now is peace, no more war. Half his life he first struggled in the Vietnam war and other half he spend on caring for my grandmother. Any help and donation will be used for his ticket and humble living in Vietnam. I wish he will be able living near my grandparents spirits and have a chance experiencing a peaceful Vietnam. And may he find his peace and rest where he was born knowing that he is not alone anymore.

I created a paypal-link for my father, your donation and help in any range is appreciated, and may you be blessed and live a life full of peace and joy.

Failed relationship, then got myself in debt.

Hi, to start of let me introduce myself.
My name is G, 26 years old male.

Just about 5 years ago me and my then current girlfriend decided to buy a house together.
Things went all good and how they should, untill one night(one and a half year ago) where she said she needed to talk.
It was over that night, and before i knew it she said she was moving out the next month leaving me alone in the house.
Before i knew it i had to cover all the expenses by myself, but with an income of 1600 and expenses of 1900(minimum) i was coming in short every month, stacking up quite the debt. At this point i was too ashamed to ask my family or friends for money, in my mind the only way out was to take out a small loan from an independent company.

This is where trouble started, id take out a loan with huge interest one month. pay it back the next and then continued to take out a bigger loan to cover all the expenses plus the interest.
Even though i eventually managed to sell the house, and moved to a rental i still cant keep up with the interest.
Im really trying my best to better my life, i am getting so depressed of the same bill of the loan company getting in each month and being higher everytime.

I just can not see a way out of this, i just want to go back to living a normal life. being able to buy normal food, and even go out again. As of now im just stuck in my place being depressed all the time by the re-occuring bills.

I’ve been incredibly stupid, i know and acknowledge that.
Currently im taking out a loan of €3400 with having to pay back with 8% interest next month. i can cover my normal expenses with my income now, however all my leftovers go to paying the interest.

I really just want to live a normal life again, thats all im asking, and i get that my story isn’t as ”sad” or heartbreaking as others. But im being honest and thats all i can be.
I really hope this works, and if it does. I am forever gratefull .

Every story has a begin, and with your help I could give this story a happy ending.

Dear readers,

My name is Van and despite I always have been a person with a closed personality, I decided to open up my mind and tell the world about this story and I seek help from persons who can actually afford providing help. As myself being a person who love to help other persons without hesitating and not taking into account whats left for myself I recommend everyone first to take into account what is left for them after providing help to others. The reason I recommend this is because I found myself into troublesome situation after helping my father as I have been reunited with him after being seperated for 16 years. But before this happened, there was more that happened.

Before I was born:
My parents fled from Vietnam due to the effects which the Vietnam war brought to them.

About my mom:
It was just a regular day when my mom was walking with my half-sister in her arms when persons from the neighborhood pulled her onto a boat. It was no abduction, but of being afraid my mother saw them and not letting her be able alarming the neighborhood since they all tried to fled Vietnam that day with a small boat.
So my mother was sort of abducted in her opinion because my half-brother and other half-sister was still home in Vietnam at my grandmothers place having no idea about their mom and sister transformed into boat refugees in one single moment.
Mom told me sometimes it was a miracle they survived the boat flight, she did not care about where they would have ended, as long she could see again her son and daughter(my half brother and sister) who were still in Vietnam, Phu Quoc Island.

About my (grand)father:
My grandfather was a Vietnamese soldier who fought together with Americans against the North Vietnamese Army. He got shot in the back and died in front of my fathers eyes. My father survived that day and my grandmother borrowed money from the neighborhood letting my father fled Vietnam in order to live a better life, that was what she thought back then.

Then I was born in 1988:
My parents met each other in The Netherlands. My dad helped her with letting my half-brother and sister coming over to The Netherlands. Shortly after I was born and I heard we were a happy family back then, till family on the other side of the world expected help from my parents. They did everything they could helping our family in Vietnam could create a living for themself. In the end they got backstabbed by their own family and in 1999 my parents even divorced each other. My father ended to be lonely and we as half-siblings were living with my mom. I missed my dad, as my half-siblings could not know how much since he was not their real father. My father told me it would be better for me not seeing him anymore and forced me to live with my mom, so I did.

My real life got started:
I never forgot him, and asked myself many times how he would be doing then. This sadness made me quit studying when I was at age of 17, and I started to work in hospitality for 3 euro per hour, 50-60 hours a week. I met my love when I was at age of 19 in 2008 and she was the reason I started studying again in 2013. I graduated in business economics in 2015 and in 2017 when I was age of 29 I would marry her. Therefore I wanted to be reunited with my father and invite him for our marriage. But my mom did not let me, it was him or her she gave me the choice. I finally found my way to his home and when he opened the door, I saw a man being happy for seeing me again but sad at the same time.

Reunited with my father after 18 years:
What happened after he divorced my mom and lost the family, he got depressed and also had to carry for my grandmother in Vietnam who was ill. He felt in love with a woman in Vietnam and helped her to come over to the Netherlands having a life with him but in the end when she got permanent residence permit she literally left him for another man in 2015 leaving behind a debt of over more then EU 70.000,00. My father found out she was lying about many costs when my grandmother was ill and she borrowed money and used it for her own life. I was sick of hearing this story and asked how my grandmother was doing, my father said she passed away in 2016. Beside me, he has nobody else. So I decided to help him in every way I can so he can live a life as my grandmother wished he would live, without worries.

This put me and my wife into a debt of EU 50.000,00. The worries has been moved to us. Since november 2018 our daughter was born. I got into a burn-out a week before our daughter got born and still am. I try to suppress all negative feelings when I am near to her but always try as best I can caring for her. We are falling behind with payments and soon we will drown.

The fact is we don´t want to be helped by persons who can´t afford helping us, because we know how it is to get into trouble as we are helping others. We are asking for help to get rid of the worries and debt which was actually created by a person with bad and selfish intentions.

I always help people around me who are in trouble, not just my family but also young persons who experience a life with divorced parents. When I am back on my feets, I want to launch a fund for young kids who lives a life with their parents divorced.

I appreciate your time, I took this chance to clear my mind and hopefully our family won´t drown by helping others. Please if you are able to, we would appreciate any help, but please… don´t get into trouble by helping others, don´t move the problems, but get rid of them, not for ourselves, but for the next generations…

Start living again – not only existent

Hello and thank you for giving me your free time to read this.

I hope you all doing well guys.

My name is George i am 28 years old and i come from Cyprus a small european island. My story until my 23 years was good enough , my parents had their jobs , i could afford anything that i wanted , i studied in Athens for 3 years and i came back to Cyprus by the age of 23. I start working in my family business and everything was cool that time because i had clear mind and i did a lot of good work, i made good money and i started a new chapter company selling wooden items , i rent a new small shop and start working 12-13 hours a day everyday including Sundays. My goal was to work hard, stop going out to clubs bars and parties and slowly slowly make a fortune . I had a plan in my mind and i still have it . By the age of 33 i wanted to have at least a million euros savings and start working for real estate business. I never ask for a help anyone during all those years , even when my family business start to lose money year by year after the economical crisis. My new company was the biggest lost and i am so sorry for this until now… i started something cool but when i had to stock , pay the rent or the electricity i was giving the winnings of the company and couldn’t afford new stock. i am only 28 years old but i deeply know that a normal 9-5 job won’t make you a millionaire, i chose the hard road (be my own boss).

If you have bills to pay but no work you have to do something , so i started working as an employer and they was paying me around 700 euros per month for my 8 hours per day work. this is something that i clearly wouldn’t do if i had at least 650-700 euros per month from my own (company).

I had depression and i still have (i am better now tho) cause i found a girlfriend two years ago and now i am waiting for my 1st baby boy , he will be born on November.

I could write more and more about my life , but it will be useless.

All i am asking for is 50.000 euros at least , to rebuilt my life again and start working again for ME and not for anyone else. I want someone with a lot of money but with poor past to understand me and help me with this. I believe in my self , i believe in my powers and i believe that we do not need anyone to help us if we want to work for ourselves and not being employed by sharks that fool us and steal our gift from God, our TIME .

Thank you guys , god bless you all !!!

Love lasts forever

Since I was a little kid I had a dream. A dream for which I couldn’t find any money as I didn’t come from a wealthy family. And even If I had any resources to fulfill my dream, I rather spent it on people who needed it more. I earn my joy helping others, because I know that I will find my luck in any other way than money.

But now I have found something in my life that I haven’t experienced previously – Love. I met this amazing girl with whom I share the same interests and joy and who helped me to achieve my dream. I could never repay her with the emotions she gave me for doing that.
But the thing is, she wants to make her dream come true. And it is to go to Costa Rica, Africa or Nepal, to help the kids with studies, building shelters etc.

The thing is that she can afford it and she will be leaving this summer, but I don’t want to lose her, and I want to go and help her, be with her and do this noble thing that she has dreamed about since she was a kid. Even on our first date we helped a poor old women, we went in shop together and bought all the groceries she needed as she couldn’t afford it. I grow stronger as a person just seeing smile on her face.

And I have never asked for anything previously in my life, but now I ask for help. And I cannot afford to leave my current life, as I still need to pay for my school which I graduated, pay my grandmothers medical bills, rent for last 3 months, and many more. I cannot cover even the smallest parts if I sell the only thing I own – my car. That’s why I really ask for all of your help, so I could cover everything In my messed life here in Latvia, and buy myself a ticket, so I could go and help other people together with her.

I deeply hope that all of this is possible, so I can help others and won’t lose the person who has been bringing the biggest sunshine in my life! Any donation would help!

Trans guy struggling to pay bills and food, in desperate need

Hello to everyone who stumbles across this!

My name is Noah and I’m a 20 year old trans guy who just dropped out of school this year.

I have always struggled with mental health issues due to growing up with a mentally and physically abusing mother. I write this because I am legit hopeless and really want to get help but not without at least giving you my story back at least. At a very young age I got heavy depression and severe selfdestructive behaviour. I’ve been in mental clinics often, had many therapists and really thought I grew after I left my moms and went to a group home. But then as I moved out on my own it just ate me. Theres always another thing I cant handle. I have BPD. Which is mainly just my inability to adjust myself to any emotional situation. I am strong and tough but unable to function in toxic environments which is why I had to leave school soon after my coming out. This is just the narrow surface of my story but I want you to know that through this despair I still am strong and no matter what the voices say. I want to give back, I want to get forward in terms of transition and also I just can’t have debt and losing my place as another obstacle. I feel unsafe in my existence and all I have left to try is this.

So to anyone reading this: Even like 50 cents would make a difference! Trust me I’m sitting here typing this with 1,78 left in my bank account. I’m thinking like bread without anything for weeks. So anything would help me at least pay my bills and get some food ( I mean you can get a lot for 5 bucks and every so little donation would.. mean everything to me. I cant ask my ‘family or friends’ so I ask you, kind internet people.

If you want to help out with anything you got left in your account head over to my paypal: https://www.paypal.me/noahduh

And thanks to everyone. Leave me your instagram or anything in a note so I can thank you personally !

Love,

Noah

Still paying off big loan caused by debt caused by mental illness

Hi kind strangers,

I’m a 21, soon-to-be 22, year old from Germany. Ever since I started making a little bit of my own money through an apprenticeship in 2015 I’ve had extreme difficulty managing my money. I have never before thought about asking for help from strangers because I know it’s my own fault that I got into this money mess.

Ever since I was a kid (around 8 y.o.) I’ve had issues with my mental health. Back then it was severe, crippling (but during that time undiagnosed) anxiety and depression which even then caused me to miss a lot of school.

I barely managed to get through school and in my late teens I started my apprenticeship. After a while of working full-time, I suddenly started getting worse again. My depression got way worse and at the end of 2016 I couldn’t take it anymore and had to go on sick-leave (even though I really like my job, I just really can not work full-time). At first I wanted to just rest for a few weeks but weeks turned into months and my health was just terrible.

During this time, my depression was so severe that I started slipping money-wise. I thought “shouldn’t my health be more important than my money?” and spent money that I didn’t have for things that brought me very short-lived, temporary happiness. When an items happiness subsided I already wanted to buy something new. I call it depression-induced shopping addiction. I also had almost no friends to help me or to cheer me up.

When this started, I only made very little money because I only got a bit of money from my health insurance company. Fortunately I only had to pay my parents a little bit of money for still living with them.

Slowly things got better. Shortly after though, in late 2017, I had another fall back. This was worse than anything I’ve ever experienced.

I had to go to a mental health clinic for almost three months after which I realized many difficult things about me and my past which made me go into a deeper depression for a while. I was also dealing with some love sickness. I have never come so close to killing myself than last year in spring. I even wrote a note.

After all, I did give life another chance. Since then things have been looking up. Even though I had to take on a loan, I’m now making an income and am at work steadily. However, I can only work part-time which is not helping my situation at all. Adding to this: for the sake of my mental health I had to start living in my own place. This cost me a lot of money as well.

After living in my own place for 6 weeks, I discovered I got scammed. The apartment was a mold hazard and I had been breathing in the extreme mold behind my bed for weeks. I had to move out again quick but had to still pay rent monthly. It was seriously a horrible experience.

Luckily, I found a new place and am now living in a new apartment which brought it’s own costs.

However the loan is still a big burden on me and I have around -200€ debt in my account right now. It drives me absolutely crazy. I’ve been looking for ways to make more money everywhere. I wish I could work harder but I know that if I work too much, I will sink into depression again and lose the balance that I have found in life right now.

I have to monthly pay 80€ for another 2-3 years. My loan is 4000€ and I still struggle so much monthly. Any help would be so very much appreciated and lift some of my worries!

To anyone even considering helping me: I want to say thank you.

I’m going to be homeless. There are no jobs in my area

Hello kind strangers,

My name is Angela, and I’m a 27 year old with a BA in Translation and Interpreting. Despite having a BA, and being a qualified worker, I haven’t been able to find a job in over a year (I’m in Spain). Spain never recovered from the big recession, and the situation in this country is devastating. Companies aren’t hiring. So many people with a college education are homeless or living in shelters, or working 10+ hours a day for minimum pay. I haven’t been lucky to find myself in the last of those situations, because believe me, I would be more than happy to be.

It seems that there is no way to make money and I will be homeless. I need some help so that I can move to a different country and find a job and move on with my life. I have been so depressed because I live under the poverty level (off of some savings) and some days I don’t even have enough to eat, and I have to starve. This is so sad to admit. I never thought I would end up like this. I always thought that at this age I would be living on my own, having a happy life with a job that at least would pay for the minimum (rent, bills and food). Instead, I have to live with my parents, not able to find a job, and my parents already struggle with making ends meet as it is. I never thought I would be living the dream, but this is not a life.

I am not the only one in my family who is going through this situation. In fact, many of us are, but with no money to leave and escape this, we are trapped.

Currently I don’t have the means to move, because I don’t have the money to pay for the plane ticket and a couple of months worth of rent and some money to buy food. This is not for a trip, or for fun. This is quite literally for survival. If anyone could help me out with anything, I would be so incredibly grateful. When I am back on my feet I will pay you back. I really need to turn my life around and prove myself that I can get out of this dark place.

Thank you for taking the time to read this,

Angie

Please please help us

Hi everyone.

My name is Francesca and I’m so scared and hopeless that I got to the point of begging for money online. My life was pretty easy for the biggest part, and sometimes I feel guilty for not being completely aware of how lucky I was when everything was fine.

I have an amazing 11-year-old daughter: she’s sweet, loving, and kind hearted. She’s incredibly generous, even though she doesn’t really have much to give. She loves dogs. And cats. And every animal really. But especially dogs.

Last year was tough for both of us. We’ve lost people we loved and things we needed.

And we may lose our home too if we don’t collect 12.000 dollars by the end of next month.

Please please help us.

Thanks a lot for the time you spent reading about us.

Freedom: my own place & college

It’s a big title, but it’s what it’s mostly about. There’s so much I could add to this, but I will try to keep it as short as possible.

My name’s Nicole and I’m already a 20+ year old. College is forever a struggle and money-wise is an every-week challenge. With the little money I do get, about €20 euro a week. I put €10 euro away for saving and €10 to spend. Still doesn’t sound too bad, right? Well…

I still live with my parents, yes, I’m one of those old kids still living under their parents roof, however, there’s a catch. I’m living in the EU, but my parents are from an asian country, China to be precise. They fit the narrative of owning their own restaurant and having their children work for them.

You most likely have guessed it by now. I’m one of these children. My brother and I have always been working in their restaurant, without being paid. At first I didn’t think much of it as a child, but now I’ve grown older and still am working there… I spoke up one about it and luckily she decided to give me that €20 euro now, however, there was something else I discovered too. She obviously got angry and told me that I’m ungrateful, that I’m working here my entire life to pay off the food she bought for us to eat, the fact that I’m living in her house is part of it too.

So.. Why do I not stop? Just leave! Right? I wouldn’t be able to… One time I was really angry in the restaurant during work and I wanted to walk away to home, but my mom stopped me before I could and said: “If you want to leave, then don’t come back home. Give me your keys and leave instead.”
She indeed came at me with this and my world really felt crushed. I knew now that I have nowhere to go?

I don’t have any savings, maybe about 100 euro though? But that is impossible to be able to rent a little room with, no, even a hotel night would at least be €10 euro a day..

I could get another job, right? I actually considered doing this, but there’s some points that are already troubling me when thinking about having another job on top of the restaurant work and college.

College is a 2 hour commute, which is 4 hours total a day. I travel, because it’s free to travel for students. Otherwise that would have been €50 euro a day. I go to college from Monday to Friday. I mostly have to leave the house at 7-9AM and come back home between 5-8PM
Work is usually from Friday to Monday. I’m sometimes free on Monday. But the Monday is usually: coming back from college at 5PM and then having to work until 10PM… Not to even mention having to prepare for the next college day. The rest of the day I’m required to sit at the restaurant to help in case it gets busy. But I believe she simple asks me to come so she can keep an eye on me.
We live in an area in which a lot of tourists come. You know those Summer Holidays we all long to? Sadly my entire summer is working from 11AM to 10PM in the restaurant. HOWEVER! For this work I actually get €200 euro for the entire summer! Can you sense I’m totally happy with that? Ha… Usually this money goes to being able to pay my college fees or any new books for a subject. That is usually about €300 euro though, so I have to ask my mother to pay instead and I’ve to give back the €200 euro…

It’s just frustrating to already imagine to have another job added on top of this “job” I’m not even being paid for. You can see my amount of free-time to include this job even, is almost next to none.

However, there’s always been someone who has been helping me so much. He paid for some of my favorite snacks and helps to keep me sane.

This is why I’ve been trying to find different ways to get money… Perhaps it’s seen as bad from me to beg, or even lazy? I am aware of people to be working even longer and more… So I feel slightly bad for begging, but I feel like I’m becoming more and more desperate now that summer is coming closer and I’m already fearing those exhausting days. I happened to stumble upon this site and as fishy as it looks like or even how unsure I am that this could be legit.. I suppose trying it out never hurts?

Any money I would get, will straight go to my saving account and eventually be saved up to the point where I can rent my own little apartment or room of which I’ve seen there’s definitely some of these for about 150 euro a month, however, usually with a deposit to be paid first. I would already be so glad if I can rent a place for at least 6 month or a year. I’m pretty sure within that time I will be able to find myself a part-time job.

There’s a problem though.. I do not even know how much other jobs even earn and will it even be enough to pay rent, food and college? I’m afraid I might even have to stop college… I’m in my 2nd year of a Communication and Multimedia design study and I’ve already been slightly struggling. So if things get to the point of me having to choose what to do, I will most likely decide to save money by stopping with college, but the thought only already makes me devastated…

I read it’s recommended to state an amount I need, but I’m not even aware how much I need to at least start with, being able to move out the house in my own place. The only problem I have with being able to do this, is money…

Lets say, we make the rent €200 a month. The Deposit is usually one time rent as well. First payment would be €400 euro. Rent for at least 1 year? 200×12= €2400 minus one month, it would be €2200 for a year, right?
One college year is exactly €2060 euro. There’s two years left after my 2nd, so this would be €4120 euro. There’s most likely going to be books, but I’m pretty sure, that if I’m already working an actual job where I actually earn money per hour, I would have no problem paying off the books myself. Not only that, I really have to pay my friend back. I know he isn’t asking me to pay it back, but I definitely should. This has no haste, so I don’t have to ask an amount for this and simply save that up while I’m working. My little brother is going through the same thing, but he’s actually been able to have a job himself. But due this, it’s me who has to work all the time in the restaurant. On top of all that, the money he’s earning from his work, he doesn’t even have access to it. His bankcard is taken by my mother and he’s only allowed to use it by asking for permission first.

€400+€2200+€4120= €6720 . . .

Just looking at this amount is unbelievable to me to even grasp I could have it. I really wish to achieve this amount of money, so that I can at least start the gears of moving out of the house and being the boss about my own schedule, money and be able to continue my college without a worry.

As of right now she has me in financial grasp and with that, I’m not able to do anything else than either working in the restaurant or sit at home to study for college. I’ve no time to do anything else, and my friends sometimes go out to eat, but of course, I never can come along. Except for one time, where I lied that I had to go to a “college dinner” I’m not sure if that’s even a thing, but she believed it. But to continue lying about where I go is not what I want. I’ve tried to be the best girl to my parents and hope she would give me more money, but she doesn’t see the “use” of giving me more money, which makes me think, she’s deliberately not giving me any.

So please, I thank you from the bottom of my heart to have read my story and even considering to give money or even the thoughts and hopes for someone else to be able to spare me some. I thank you for those thoughts.

I will try my best to continue working and still try to ask for payment for my work to my parents, because I’m already in my twenties, and have barely any savings and still not an income? Whereas so many of my friends started with part-time jobs next to high school and they would get an easy €300 euro a month. That just boggles my mind. Apologies for any mistakes in the text. I’m from a non-english speaking country. I’ve tried to type it all very simple as possible.

So from my calculation, €6720 would be the perfect amount to start. And if it’s okay to be a little bit selfish. I would love to ask a €100 extra, to give myself some new clothing… Yea, I don’t really get new clothing either and you know what? I’m in my twenties, and my mom still demands me to wear graphic pink shirts and just anything to hide my femininity. So being able to get me 2 pair of nice new jeans, probably about €20-€40 euro and with that just a couple of new tops I am good to go for another year.

Thank you very much once again and sorry for writing so much, but I’m trying every means to get money. I’ve even been trying to set up an online store by selling 3D models, but that requires time and I would love to get out the house before the new study year starts, or by the end of the year. Thank you, please take care and by no means feel obligated, because those with emergency medical bills are much more important and EU college payments aren’t as high as those in the US… I will do my best to keep my head up high!

PS. If you happen to donate and would like to have updates on where your money went or anything, do add to the paypal a note with your e-mail and I will definitely make sure to get back at you.

Take care.

Long distance lgbt couple 🇭🇺🏳️‍🌈🇵🇭

Hey everyone!

My name is Petra and I need some help.

I know a girl from the other side of the world who I really love. She lives in the Philippines and I live in Hungary.

We met online in September 2017 and have been dating ever since, we are a long distance couple.

April 2019, so not long ago, we met for the very first time. I saved up for this long to be able to visit her. I spent 3 weeks in the Philippines with her, but after time was over, I had to come back home.

It’s a devastating feeling, not knowing when I’ll be able to see her again, life hasn’t been the same since we spent those weeks together.

In reality, I don’t want to save up for months or years again just to be together for a bit and then have to separate every single time. We learned so much about each other while we were living together, this is how we want to spend the rest of our lives.

Her life in the Philippines isn’t stable, her future there wouldn’t be too bright. She just graduated as a political science student, but with that level of unemployment, she’s struggling to find any type of job. And her family isn’t the most fortunate either.

I want to be the person who, as cliché as it sounds, saves her. We talked about this, dreamed about this, that maybe someday she could come here to Europe to live with me. And now, after having the chance of tasting what is life with her like, I want it more than anything.

She’s so bright and intelligent, witty and an amazing partner over all with such a western mind that she doesn’t belong in that place. It’s dragging her down.

But I don’t come from a family with money either. I am still in university, I work part-time and I live with my brother’s family to save up on rent. In a good month, if I don’t buy myself anything, only the necessities, like my monthly bus pass and I pack my food everyday, I can save up around 300 dollars.

That would make getting her here take years. We need to get her a visa, a job, I need an apartment where we can live and of course there are the plane tickets which cost a lot as well.

We also need to have some savings for the first month or two till she’ll start getting her salary as well.

All in all, this could take anything between 3000-5000 dollars. To get our lives started.

I want to get her here by January 2020. Nothing later than that, we already waited for too long.

I can save up around 2000 dollars till then if everything goes well but I really need some help with the rest of it. I want to be safe, I don’t want to risk any of us because this is a big move, in every sense of the word.

If anyone felt anything while reading about the love of 2 girls and wants to contribute to the craziest story of a lifetime, we would more than appreciate it.

Let’s break the distance forever.

The worst situation in my life. And it’s all my fault. I want to get back on my feet.

Hello! My name is David. I don’t even know how to start my story.

At the moment, I study at a university in Prague (international student from Kazakhstan). My program is in English (not in Czech), so I have to pay tuition fees. My mom works really hard to earn money for my education. My dad lives with another wife and doesn’t provide us any help. I was helping my mom the first year and, as she thinks, I’m still helping her. I combined study and work. It was pretty hard for me, but I could not let my mom work so hard. Everything was good, I was a good student. Exactly until that moment when I met my new “friends”.

Then everything turned upside down. I started using drugs with my new company. So, as you understand, all the money that I earned and mom sent me was spent on drugs. This lifestyle continued for 3-4 months. Now, I owe 5.000$ to my university.

I never thought that this could happen to me. I was always a good student with good marks. Everyone thought that I would have a “great” future. Everyone still thinks that everything is fine. I found the strength to give up drugs. I found a new job, but I don’t have time to earn enough money.

Every night I fall asleep with tears. I scold myself for allowing myself to fall so low. I do not understand what made me bring myself to this.

Because of this situation, I often began to quarrel with my girlfriend. She doesn’t know anything too. It’s easy to hide everything from her because she studies in Vienna, Austria.

I really want to share this with my mom, girlfriend and my friend. But I can’t do this now. I will do it, but only when things get better. I can not disappoint them so much. They are very dear to me people. They believe in me and I can’t destroy their trust.

Even the people (good friends and classmates) around me in Prague think that everything is OK. It’s really hard for me to look into their eyes and lie.

I want to start over. I want to change everything. I want to get rid of this feeling. And I gave up the drug. Began to build relationships with loved ones. But now everything depends on finances. If I don’t find this $ 5,000, everything will go down the drain. This 5000 dollars is the last step in order to change everything and start over.

I really hope for your help. I’m desperate.

To help people through yoga and meditation

Hi everyone!

I’m 22 years young girl whose dream is to help people through something I love – YOGA. Since yoga was the thing that saved my life I truly believe that people will come to heal there. Since I live in Estonia, the country where mental health is slowly growing its importance but hasn’t yet reached the suitable level, I’d like to be a part of it’s growing and help people find themselves through yoga and meditation. Sadly I have really few options here to learn since even yoga started growing in Estonia just 10 years ago. Yet I managed to find a perfect course for me, taught by 2 wonderful women who have had the chance to learn under masters in Infra Yoga Studio.

I would get the chance to study meditation, yoga philosophy, yoga history, body’s anatomy, officially all the poses and anatomy in the poses, how to build up a yoga class and to teach different people. I’d get the chance to learn all about breathing, energy and it’s anatomy, about mantras and mudras, plus yoga for pregnant women and besides I would get real practice. I’d have to pass exams and then I’d get my name up on the Yoga Alliance plus I would get the worldwide certificate to do yoga classes.

This would be the first official step on my yoga-journey, but I’m in real need of help since the course costs 2500 €. I had saved a little on the side and I was able to pay the first payment. The salary I get working in a photography shop is not enough to pay it before it starts and I thought I’d ask for help first, before going to banks and getting a loan for years and not being able to do anything else with my life. I will do my best to collect as much as I can by myself, but it’s not physically possible for me to do it alone. Yet it is my dream and I decided I will find a way and I will do it.

the 2000€ I have to have by the end of September 2019.

The price includes all the materials I have to go through, the certificate, 200h course, 35h classes of different yoga styles, teaching and learning by others, 25 hours of taking the teachers classes they offer in their yoga studio. Everything to become the first step 200h yoga teacher.

Please help my dream to come true! I would be so thankful and it would actually help me save me and then later others.

Here is the Facebook event for the course

It’s my fresh Instagram, but you can find some of my yoga posts I have made public.

Save Me & My Life Please

Dear all,

Firstly, thank you so much in advance for your time.

I’m a small person in this world, a girl from Slovakia, who finds most joy when being surrounded by animals since I never found that pure love inside my family due to my father. I really wish to be free, help animals & support my mom who should be already retired but still has to work.

I don’t want to get in to a sad talk but I would like to ask for your help or support to start a new chapter in my life, so I can finally move forward without looking back at times which made my suffer bad.

I was working since the age of 14 while also studying to earn money as we never had any, and was very proud to get things on my own. My dream was always to own a small apartment in a quiet area to have a place to call home, a place I would come to after work and feel peace instead of aggression, anger & abuse. However, after finding one and being desperate to get it to feel free, I got scammed leaving me with a huge bank loan and no apartment.

From that devastating moment, I have been mentally down, empty inside, which all lead to health issues too. My new dog saved me literally, the only being who was able to make me smile again.

But the huge weight is still there and although I really try, the loan is dragging me down and it feels like I’m still drowning.

With all my heart, I would like to ask four your support and whether you could help me to pay off my debt. I cannot describe how much that would change my life.

I know it is an incredibly huge thing to ask, but I would not do this if there would be any other option.

The current bank debt is € 40 000 for an apartment scam I had to take a loan for… and since the fees are not comparable with my monthly wage, I’m in a huge risk of losing my rental studio. Although I try the best I can to prevent this, I can’t imagine not having a roof over my head.

It would be a dream come true for me to start all over with a clear mind, to work hard to “fix” myself from the inside and after, help the animals in need and support my mom.

I really appreciate you taking time to read this note. Thank you so much in advance.

Please, help me here, I’ll be forever grateful:

Dental procedure for abscessed and cracked tooth

Hello,

This is the first time I use a fundraising platform, I do not have other option. Because I delayed it 7 days already, and this is a serious condition.

I am grateful to God and existence because excepting this tragedy, my health is perfect. Though I was very depressed when I found out what happened. It’s about my tooth.

At first, it was necessary only the root canal procedure (as this was not horror enough), I delayed it 2 years. I was so naive that I thought the science would discover something that can heal a tooth decayed to the pulp. And I would afford the treatment. I was delusional.

During those 2 years I had 2 “attacks”. My gum and face swelled so much that I went to hospital. The doctor from the emergency room would use syringe to pull out the puss. I used antibiotics and I went back to normal. Not to mention about extreme dental pain I had at the beginning.

Everything started when my fillings fallen. I went to doctor with my Mom when I was really small, I had a cavity and the doctor filled it.

And with time while my tooth was developing the fill has fallen. At least this is what my Mom thinks. I didn’t notice it falled so the cavity evolved.

The previously week my tooth cracked while I was eating something. I ran immediately home (I wasn’t home). I have an abscessed tooth. I discussed with the doctor and the total procedure is priced at 2000$:

• Fillings – 300$
• Root canal therapy – 700$
• Dental crown – 1000$

I have 1000$ out of this amount and the doctor says it cannot be delayed, this requires immediately intervention. As this was not enough, now half of it is broken. It is so bad that I have only half of it. I can see my gum… With my naked eye!

Fortunately, unless I open my mouth really wide, and you pay attention to it, you cannot see the abscessed tooth. This is because it is placed at the corner of my mouth, where are “the hidden teeths”, to be more specifically.

The emergency is really big, I have to pay all the amount otherwise the procedure would not start. And I have no one to help me. Me and my Mother. I do not have another 1000$, and I want to avoid other complications, an abscessed tooth can lead to severally other problems.

In my country the Dollar is very powerful, even though the prices for medical services and electronics are mainly the same across the world, the income of jobs varies dramatically from country to country. I am staying like that for a week, I barely gathered 1000$ from my savings and Mom’s help.

I’m in the third decade of my life (20 years, to be more specifically), but never heard of other peers the same age as me needing the root canal procedure, and dental crowns. If my job would be enough I would pay alone all the procedure but is very expensive compared to the minimum wage. I need 1000$ to finish the procedure.

Hope you understand. Any help is welcome.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Medical student in need

Hey everyone, I’m going to be as honest as I possibly can. I feel bad even posting this, but I guess it can’t hurt to ask. I can’t believe I got myself into this situation. Okay, here goes everything. I’m a 4nd year medical student in financial need. I usually do not ask for loans or any financial assistance so this is taking a lot out of me to post. For a while I didn’t want to make this post because I know many people need the money more than I do, but I wouldn’t have done it if I wasn’t desperate with no other option. I’m not quite sure who might come across this request, if anyone, so I hope it’s understandable if I keep identifying information to a minimal. For me studying medicine allows me the opportunity to help save lives… However, paying for medical school has been very difficult. Due to a major lack of financial stability I still have to pay roughly $2500 out of pocket for school this semester. So however may be reading this… I have no special charity reasons to ask for donations.. I am a simple person struggling with everyday life who is now asking for your help.. I hope that one day I will be able to replay it, perhaps not directly back to you, reader, but to the world.
I do feel bad for asking for donations, I should just work, but I don’t feel I can cope with both work and studies, so just for now, when things are trembling, I ask for a bit of help.. Any small amount of a donation would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your support. I am greatly appreciative for any and all help. Even if you are unable to donate, thank you for taking your time out of your day to read this.

Help me get back on my feet!

Hi everyone! I am writing to ask you for some kind help. I am in a mess economically-speaking and I think now it’s time to put my things in order.

Due to an obsessive-compulsive disorder and a depression that I have been suffering for the past 5 years, I have had problems controlling my impulses and managing my bank accounts. Forgive me if I am not too detailed, but it is something that’s fresh and I am still recovering from its consequences. As a result of these past crazy years, I have a debt with my bank and each month it gets more difficult to face my responsibilities (rent, debt, food). I am in therapy now, but this is the only thing that is keeping me from moving forward and buying my first apartment, for example. My family can’t help me and, even though it’s quite an easy option, I don’t think applying for another credit card would be a smart long-term solution.

That is why I am humbly asking for your help. As little as it may seem, every penny counts. I am afraid I can’t give you any rewards, but I can assure you that your kind donation will be put to good use: paying off my debt and starting again; this time with better mental health, hopefully. 1$ from each of you would mean a lot. Thank you so much for your help and God bless you all.

Just a push start to being successful.

Hello any one that might take a moment to read this. First of all let me start by telling you that I feel really wired in doing this but what do I got to lose. My situation is this I live in Juarez, Mexico, one of the most violent city in the world. But I grew up in Denver, Colorado. At the age of 2 I was crossed to the United States illegally. I was involved in an accident a short while back in Denver and I was given probation even know it was not my fault and that’s all it was an accident so to make a long story short the probation officer that I was to report to once a month had something against Hispanics and he told me the first time I met him that he was going to make sure that I would get kicked out of the country one way or another. Little did I know that he would keep his word and one day when I went to sign for the month sure enough he had some Customs agents from I.C.E in his office and they handcuffed me and took me in.

Further more I had the option to fight the case and I might have won but after being stuck in a detention center for about 2 and a half years I gave up the case, didn’t seem to be getting any were and I was no where closer to getting out so I did the only thing I could think of to get released and that was to sign my deportation. I got deported and I’ve been hear know for about 2 years and still can’t adjust because first of all I didn’t know any Spanish what’s so ever and still don’t but at least know I can understand it pretty good but still can’t speck it to well. Any ways in Denver I had a carpet laying company and was making pretty good money but here the houses don’t even use carpets. I tried applying for a call center but they wanted someone who spoke and wrote both languages 100% so I had no choice but to work in construction, making about $90 dollars a week working from sun rise to sun down 6 days a week. And to make matters worse I meet this good looking senorita hear and we hooked up and had a little baby girl and waiting on our second (hoping its a boy) and well this is what brings me to this site to ask any one that might be willing to help me. I have been researching a lot on how to make money on the internet but as you all know most jobs wont take people that are located outside the US.

I have really gotten into the subject of market affiliate and I have some really great ideas on what I can do and how to start doing it, the only problem is that I am not a very good looking guy to make videos on YouTube and to get my own website it cost a little over a hundred dollars for a yearly subscription, and that’s a cheap one but I’m pretty sure that’s all I need to turn mine and my families life around. I’m really not asking for much at all or if someone reads this that might be willing to donate me a web site that would work too. I know that gods got this in his hands and if it’s his will for me to start my own business on line then someone will help me and if not well I guess I’m stuck working in construction the rest of my life. I would need to not buy groceries for two weeks to be able to pay for a web site and that’s just an option that I don’t have because of my little girl and the baby that’s on the way. All I can do know is pray and hope that someone out there will read this and will help me and I would be the most grateful man in the world. Thank you for reading this and if god puts it in your heart to help me out he will duplicate it back to you.

I dont really need alot, but I do need help urgently.

Good day to anybody reading this , I have never thought myself of doing such thing as begging for money but I will briefly resume my situation and clarify that I do not need alot of money… but I need help to start working again.

I am 25 years old IT support, currently living in Madrid, Spain and originally from
Romania.

My history is not the brightest one , but I guess my past is not important here, but what is happening now.

I am broke since few years ago but that never stopped me from doing what I like and trying to help others, I have never ask for any stranger, for anything at all.

But since few months ago I am unemployed, my account its in negative and I dont have money for transportation anymore, neither anybody that could lend me a hand, hence I have been moving everywhere and trying to find a place but as things are in Spain it is very uncertain of how my future is going to be, or if I am going to have any stability for more than 6 months ever, I actually never did in almost 26 years.

This Friday 3 of May I need to go to a very important interview for me, which could fix my life and probably the next two years.

I cannot attend such interview hence I dont have money to even go out for a coffee, and its around 26 KM through highways and so on to get there, to be honest I even thought of walking it off , as things are I’m in total desperation.

I have became this broke because my contract finished, I was previously living in Athens, adopted a stray cat that was super ill, with a huge infection and almost blind, I spent my savings to rescue her and bring her to Spain with me, her name is Dotty and after a while she is great, and I would rather give her food than eat it on my own, every sandwich I have, she has the half of it..

And this is her now,

As you can see , she is way happier and healthy :)

For 3 months I have been doing interview after interview, getting responses of “You will start soon, dont worry, we handle it” but it is never like that, I recieve phone calls , but thats it pretty much.

Now I can’t even keep doing interviews or afford rent or living , soon I dont know where I will stay.

Even so the situation its like this I will manage to get food, but I can’t fix the transportation issue, I do have dreams but I would like to try to get them on my own, I’ve actually studied Fine arts and IT as a side thing to get money, but now my qualification might not be enough as IT to keep working as support, so Im kinda desperate, and nobody wants to hire me even as a Waiter because they thing I wouldnt be suitable for the job.

The transportation pass costs only 20€ monthly until the next month , in which I will be 26 and it will cost 89€, then I will really not know what to do because as things are thats alot of money for me and I need to use it for basic expenses.

For now I would be blessed happy with that 20€.. I could pay my transportation and keep trying my best to find any kind of income at all this month , before I actually get stuck deeply and then I will have even worse problems…

Thank you if you have dedicated your time to read my petition and even if you don’t donate anything , thanks for your time.

This is me , my cat, and a proof of my bank account just now.

I am sorry to be asking things for free and if anybody has the will to trust me , I will try my best to pay back some day… Hopefully.

Thank you alot, and if you decide to help me I wouldnt be more grateful, I can maybe paint for you or fix anything with your computer… or just listen, I dont want to take anything for free and if I can pay back somehow , I will.

This my paypal and my mail if you ever decide to help me out or just to talk with me , both are welcome.

Support for my co-workers

Hello,

I’m seeking for a funding to develop my business.

Since 2013 I have been working as a freelancer translator at Upwork, you are surely familiar with this platform.

In January 2017, I decided to start my own company operating in the translation industry (mainly English, Polish, Italian and Russian) and business management and launching startups (I cooperate with web designers, graphic designers, photographers). At the same time, I still cooperate with the Upwork.

Currently, my company is located on the dining room table. Imagine that the collected papers no longer fit on the table top, also on chairs, and somewhat on the floor.. Documents lie literally everywhere, the printer stands on the windowsill… it’s a drama scenario, not a business. The fire brigade would not approve of it.

I dream about developing my business. I wish I could double the number of co-workers. And, that present co-workers would come to the full creativity in a good atmosphere of the office interior. They currently work from their own homes, and this is not conducive to creative thinking and full involvement in professional duties.

That’s why I have to buy a place where we can move our beloved company. Me from the dining room table, my team from their own apartments.

Polish banks, however good, are not flexible in terms of granting loans to entrepreneurs like me. For them, my cooperation with foreign clients from around the world is more discouraging than encouraging. They can not classify me in any of their headings.

Without the support of the bank, I am unable to develop, help others to have stable jobs and build further ventures, such as the Ecological Goat Farm.

The first step in the development was the establishment of my company.

The second step is to obtain a mortgage loan for the purchase of office property and to provide co-workers with decent working conditions and to manage the professional side of their lives.

The third step, I assume that this will take place at the beginning of next year, will be the construction of Organic Goat Farm with the leading breeding of the endangered breed of the Carpathian goat and the production of long-lived goats cheese.

But at the moment my priority is an office property. Other things will come with time.

This is how I set out my business development.

Cordial greetings,

Addiction(Changed)

From Ireland , at the age of 23 i came addicted to alcohol . I was completely against drugs of any type unless given by a doctor for sickness.

But in this country alcohol is seen as the normal even up to a few years ago an alcoholic was known as a person that liked his drink. Alcohol done damage to everyone around me nobody was left unaffected . As for myself i lost everything including my family . It was years of being stuck between life and death God or the Devil did not want me and i survived so many things that would have killed everyone else.

I was unable to accept being so young that i could not do the things that others could. I felling into the darkest depression and self destruction. After 3 treatments a total of 9 months i got sober 3 years. Im now 31 i have got everything back from hard work and appreciation ” Do the right things in life and the right things will happen.

Why am i looking for donations ? Im an intelligent person with an IQ 141 but i have never got any breaks in life our opportunity and im struggling . From alot of research there is a drug in America that will stop any pleasure from alcohol i want to go there and get this as a back up so my life is not lost to this horrible disease.It costs the economy the normal tax payer more then another disease and kills more then cancer.

I dont just want to make help once off i wanna start to make a real difference and with the donations set up a company in the medical equipment field. Where i will have funds to regularly give to research which i will over see and send addicts for treatment after which with time and hard work i intend to set up a privet hospital system firstly in this country.

This will provide a good life for myself and change the life of others. These are good people stuck in limbo and studies show alcoholics to have higher intelligence then non alcoholics which means that others out there may also make a difference in life.

Please give me the opportunity a break in life as its so difficult . Thank you very much. I Hope to raise $500,000 Kind Regards

Need help for home

Hello, everyone!
We are a couple of young artists to build their own way in a country that does not offer too much.
We have dreams that we can not currently meet because of material difficulties and although it sounds cliché, we would like to be able to help in our turn. I recently found out that we will not be able to live in the current location (because the owner wants to sell), where we paid an ok rent for our small incomes. Rents have risen all over, and we have realized that it is impossible for us to find a place for our needs with a decent budget. We have very much attached to this place, it is a kind of sanctuary where we can create and live at the same time. Because we always have to work on little money to cover the monthly expenses, we have neglected our artistic career, which is still at the beginning. And because all the heavy things are gathering at the same time, we can not even invest in things that could help us evolve in our field, to produce the necessary amounts for a decent life. I do not want this to sound a complaint, but this site could help us, and I said, why not, we can manage to get a balance. We thought to make a loan to the bank, to buy the apartment so dear to us. But again, income does not allow us … So, you can help us enormously through any small donation to realize our dream and have our home. As long as we try to make an advance, with the prospect of investing more in our talents, maybe we will be able to make more money.

Thank you so much for all those who help us! I also send good energies and I hope you all wishes come true!
PS: We have a cat will thank him with all his heart!

Help me pay rent

Okay, I feel really helpless and this is my last resort. I am having a hard time to even make my end meet today, just being able to survive the day seems like an achievement. I am buried in student loan and loans from family and friends and currently, I am at a point where I am about to get kicked out of my house because I am unable to pay my rent. I don’t have any immediate family with me. I don’t have my parents supporting me from the age of 12. I have been a very bright student and have always graduated at the top of my class. I am currently stuck in a full-time job with a startup company where they haven’t paid me from the last three months and no the law is not able to help me because I am an immigrant. My boss keeps telling me that he will pay in the coming month and his firm is also going through a crisis. I am unable to quit this job while I am looking for a new one. I really hope that I can find a job that will at least reward me for my dedication and genuine hard work. I am really helpless and not able to understand how I can survive. I have never had financial problems to such an extent before. I have attached a picture of my bank statement which shows that I have been paid or received any money from my job but my rent has been deducted and now I am only left with 84 cents in my account. If I am unable to pay the rent for the coming month I will soon be homeless. I cannot bother my friends anymore even they are still students and have still tried to help me as much as they could. I am working hard every day and I still am stuck in an unfair situation. I am trying my best to stay positive and be hopeful. All I am asking for is some money to help me with my rent for the coming month. If you decide to help me please leave me your name, I would be very grateful and would return the money in the coming few months. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. If you are also going through a tough time I hope things get better for you with time.

A Greek seeks a New Life

Hello. My name is George and I am a 43-year-old Greek. The reason I was forced to come to this site is my despair!
I still live with my parents because I never had a stable job to be able to arrange my life like any normal person. Unfortunately, my country does not help me in this! Greece is a country that does not want to make progress. It wants you to be enslaved and to work for the state. It leaves you a little money in your pocket, just to buy your food so you can eat and hold on to your feet to keep working for them! The Greek fascist government is not interested in the progress and development of the country and its inhabitants. They are only interested in filling their pockets with money from others!!! Lies to the Greek people … they lie in Europe and the rest of the world! They are hypocrites and scammers! For Greek politicians, Greece is a business where they are the bosses and the citizens are their workers! They make laws that are for their own interests, and always to the detriment of the citizens. And once they win what they want, they will eliminate them!
My formal profession is a graphic designer. I was working in small businesses but I never managed to stabilize myself in a job. Often, I was a victim of exploitation by my employers because I was ‘soft’ and they exploited it. Although late, I realized that in Greece when you are good, they are all exploited! It is a rule for the Greeks. They do not appreciate honesty because they are not honest and decent people, so they cannot know how to appreciate the value of kindness. That’s why I changed. I gained confidence and learned to claim. But even this did not work very well. It scares them when a person is confident. It scares them when you claim your rights. They are afraid of the fact that there are people better than them. And so, they are driving you away, because they prefer to stoop your head and say ‘yes’ to everything! So, I decided to become a freelancer, trying to avoid bad working conditions. I started collaborating with people to cover the whole range of graphic arts, but in the process, it turned out to be defective or our ideology did not match. So, I kept working on my own. At first, I was going well but later the financial crisis in Greece began to affect my profession as well. And soon I was again unemployed, leaving a debt of € 5000 to OAEE. (Professional Insurance Agency). A debt to the state, which is constantly increasing if you do not pay the required money every 3 months.

But the years have passed, and as I grow older, the harder it is to find a job in the profession I love. You see … Greek businessmen prefer young people who do not have a lot of professional experience and so they will not ask for a big salary … and they will be able to exploit them (as usual) to the fullest! Even other jobs I was looking for, I could not find because everyone here in Greece is asking you to have an experience. Even for jobs that do not need to be experienced. And the reason is that they do not want to spend the time needed to train you because they do not want to lose money! They are greedy people and unprofessionals!!!

So, I decide to spare the little money I had in a different and autonomous profession … to become a taxi driver. As a social and friendly person I am, I felt it was an ideal profession for me. But I did not know what I would meet …!!! I passed the exams for the license, I rented a taxi and started to work. The fixed costs of the car were € 80-100 per day. The rent of the car was € 50 per day, at least € 20 oil, and VAT which I made from the receipts. I worked 17-20 hours per day and I was not able to make more than € 100-120. Simply put, I was working for him who rented my car. Whatever I was doing was giving it to him. I was disappointed more because I was like an unemployed person and once again a victim of exploiting the “system”! During my new job, I encountered many problems that my “colleagues” created, as well as many capricious customers. The supposed colleagues, looked at me with hostility and anger, and some of them sought to drive me out of the taxi rank that was seated. What I learned in those 6 months of this profession is that taxi drivers in Greece are indifferent to the laws and rules of the profession. They work arbitrarily, and act like mafia. They have forgotten that the profession of taxi driver is the service of the citizens. With the “support” of the Greek taxi trade union, and the “protection” of the state, they do what they want without anyone disturbing them! They work illegally and steal everyone … especially tourists who do not know Greece! The rule of the Greek taxi driver is to charge the double price for a route to the tourist. For example, when the distance to Omonia at Port of Piraeus costs up to € 12, they will charge the route € 25. And of course, without a taximeter. And if the customer complaints, they will get angry by trying to show that they felt insulted by calling them “thieves”! Where in fact they are terrible thieves and hypocrites; but it is one of the many “tricks” they do!

Similar illegalities and “tricks” do others in the field of tourism. Like the hotels on the islands, especially the popular ones. They create fake photos to reach customers by presenting their hotel in front of a beach, while in reality it is far from the sea. When the time comes and the customer appears in the hotel and sees the reality, he will react! But because he will not be able to find another room at the last minute or another hotel, he will be forced to suffer this scam and stay at the hotel which is a kilometer away from the beach. Something he did not want! And that’s what the Greeks exploit, the tourists need in the indirect way of coercion!!!

A wise proverb says: ‘The fish stinks wherever you catch it.’ A proverb worthy of Greece, if you think that the head of the fish represents the impotence and immorality of the leaders, and the body represents the people. The state steals the Greeks and the Greeks steal the state! It’s the game of cat and mouse, where everyone has the role of both … at the same time!!! A game that does not end! Greeks who refuse to participate in such a “game” are honest people, and for the most part, the poorest! In this category of people belongs my family. I grew up with principles and I tend to maintain them, refusing to accept the wrong influences from negative people. And most Greeks are negative people! They are the people who, if you do not agree with them or if you do not have the same opinion as theirs, will become reactionary and will “fight you” until they convince you that their theory is right! Are the people who say lying more easily than truth! Are the people who will believe what they see on TV! Are people who believe they are better than the rest of the world, just because we have a major story “on our back”! They have several psychological problems, they are petty, narrow-minded, selfish, snobbish, unhappy, miserable, malicious; they are happy to make someone unhappy, and jealous when someone is better than them, trying in any way to derogatory him and turn him into what they consider “right”. Are the people who think the right thing is wrong, and the wrong is right! Are the people who only “distinguish the black and white colors”: They do not know how to mitigate the situations. They do not know how to think; they do according to the mass and not the logic! (Common ‘sheep’!!!) They hide their feelings behind a fake smile. They are hypocritical and arrogant. They care about nothing and anyone, except for themselves and their family. They have a lack of dignity, self-esteem, and credibility. They have no humor because they have chosen to be “serious,” and they think that humor is not in keeping with seriousness! Deeply, they are immature and irresponsible people. And at this point the problem is the wrong Greek culture; the way the Greeks nurture their children!

Now, I can say for sure that I am ashamed of my people. I am ashamed to live among them and I do not want to be part of such a foolish and false society! A society that even my ancient ancestors would be ashamed of!

I’m tired psychologically and I’m not happy in this problematic country. I have no future in Greece and I cannot have a progress. I’m different from them! I refuse to co-ordinate in Greek stereotypes, and to become as they want me to be, in order to be accepted in the society of their wish! And that’s why I am writing to you all the above (although not the only reasons, but the basics to understand the extent of the problems I’m facing). I have the need to have a better life, a simple and normal life without people with “special needs” around me. I have the desire to take advantage of the energy and will which I still have for finding a decent life. And at this point you get part … my only hope for a last attempt to restore my life. You, who are better people and understand the situations I live in!

I wish to live in a country away from situations that will negatively affect me, and certainly as far away from “ugly” people! I would like to try my luck in Australia (but that doesn’t mean I will reject other … equally remarkable countries). Australia is a country I always wanted to visit but I never did. It has a beautiful nature and a good political system. It’s a country (among others) with a good economy, respects its culture (as opposed to the Greek government that exploits the culture and history of its country for its benefit), and gives opportunities to young people. It’s a country that respects its laws … which characterizes it as respectable and civilized.

Unfortunately, I have no one in Australia or in other countries that could help me make a start. That’s why I ask the help of well-meaning people to gather the money needed for my ticket, visa, stay and maintenance for the first few months until I find work!

I am a good and social person who likes to help and share my interests with others. In the past I was a member of Action Aid (an independent Greek organization that has been campaigning against poverty and injustice since 1972 in more than 45 countries around the world), and a sponsor of a girl from Sierra Leone. Unfortunately, I have not been able to strengthen her community for a long time because I was unemployed (again!).

I am a big animal lover and I always have and will have animals in my possession!

I’m sorry if you tired of my text but I thought it was necessary to say some basic things to get a good picture of the situations in Greece and the reasons I need your help.

Thank you all in advance and I appreciate your every act. Even the time you spent to read my writing. If you want to talk to me before you do some action, I will be very happy!!!

I am grateful to you!

Thank you very much.

$12000 debt, can’t keep it up..

I honestly don’t know how to explain the situation that is my life.

I’ve never cared much for money, instead maintaining a focus on doing something that matters, thinking that it would eventually be the right decision.

I began working full time straight after high school, and after seven years, my expenses continue to be higher than my income. This has been mainly due to getting scammed by several employers, robbed out of years worth of income, but still I have yet to have a single company pay me what they promised and I’ve continued to naively think that hard work will eventually pay off.

Now I’ve gotten to the point where I’ve been accepted into university in the fall and I hope to restart my life as I’m only 24, but with $12 000 in debt and earning only $400 a month it seems impossible to cover any tuition fees by then.

I don’t have much hope for this website to work, but I want to give it a shot, in case anyone here wants to help out a girl who’s royally f*cked up her life and worked blindly for years in “hopes” that it would amount to something.

I’m lucky enough to have a place with family to stay for free, so any income would be sure to go straight to bills. Unfortunately they are not able to help with finances, as both parents and my brother are currently on sick leave due to cancer, yet I can stay here rent free for the time being.

I’m not sure where to go from here, or what to do, as I’m well aware that with less than a dollar in my account I won’t be able to make it to work next week, but I’m working to find a solution before then.
I’ve sold most of my things, been rejected from all credit cards and bank loans due to low income, and I’m still trying to find better, more secure jobs that will actually pay you even if it’s not much.

If anyone managed to get through this whole paragraph, thank you for your time, and if anyone would care to donate anything, here’s a paypal.me I made:

paypal.me/elenathom

PS: I hope that in a few years I’ll be the one who’s browsing these websites and donating money to help others.

Until then, I just want to say that to anyone who contributes with anything, (studiying backend development), I will be more than happy to create your websites for free in return if/when I manage to get out of this mess and complete my degree.

No matter how little/much you give, just send me an email in a few years time and I will give back with everything I have (hopefully also repay you financially).

Thank you for reading.

Asking for help

This is my story

Hello, my name is Rokas, and I am asking for your help. I am 17 year old, who has got into big debts. I owe 1000€ in total to multiple people. So I will tell you my story how I ended up here. So basically in last year (2018) November I got into a debt to a friend. I like to do everything in a rush so I rushed in this situation too, debt was one hundread euros. So I asked my classmate if she can give me an opportunity or a way to make some money so I can be out of the debt. She gave me a way by dealing weed. But then that stuff got stolen. So I was in debt 140€ in total. After that I had found some ways through friends to get some money for my debts. After that I asked my friend’s for help, they helped my, they gave my opportunity’s. But being person that I am I was getting into bigger and bigger debts. And I was dealing the whole time until this day. So I was smoking and using my own supply and I know that I was breaking a golden rule of dealing “Never use your own supply”. But right now I don’t have any more options to make money or have any ideas. I don’t have much time left before these people come to me, I basically ruined life by starting all this. As of right now I truly don’t now what to do, I know I am dumb but I like to try and experience everything, money that I saw ruined me because I didn’t knew how to manage it. And when I should have gave the profit to debts, I was using them to for b.s. Right now I want to be as honest as possible, I want to ask for your help, everyone of could just skip this post, you are free to judge but I want to ask for your HELP. If you would ask me if I regret that I have started all that yes I do. I don’t want to be in situation that I am in right now but I am in it and I have couple options left one is to beg for help and other is to get out of this world. Either by me or by people that owe that money to. Please help, fell free to judge. Thank you very much. Sorry for bad sentence placement.

Small family needs help, please read !

First of all Hello to everyone!

We are small and young family ( my fiance(21) ,son (2 year old ) and me(22)). Our life’s are ruined by my father. Everything began when I was young ,I lived without father until i was 13 years old and was begging my mother to bring him back from another country where he was working how we could survive. After he came back everything start going in bad way. First he was cheating my mom in Italy whole years and that was terrible when we got notification about that. My mother passed that and we continued to live together while we had something like farm just much smaller. We used to survive until something happened. He requested to divorce from my mother when I was 15 years old. Even that we passed well,but I couldn’t dream something worse can happen. One day my mother called me to her mother and father house to talk with me and I had to hear even worse things…He raped my older sister when she was young between 8-12 years. My mother didn’t want to divorce in that time because she said ” I believed I can make a better person from him” and she was shamed from what our village gonna say about that so she keep that secret just with our family. I couldn’t believe with my ears what Am I hearing. Things start to going even worse. My second older sister was working and living with her fiance in our lovely country just far away from our house. Right after she came back on vacation while father was home,things start to going even worse. He was verbal abusing her whole time and even her fiance. She was planing to have a baby but after while…when i was sleeping… I have think I’m dreaming it…In my dreams i heard someone screaming and calling my name sister so loud just before 01 o’clock AM I woke and ran out of my house and I had to see something what I’m never gonna forget..she hanged herself in our yard. We tried everything to save her life but was too late,she was already gone. We tried to drive her to ambulance but they couldn’t do anything about that there. Next day our neighbor said to us” She came late home,I heard her how shes praying father to let her get inside house and his answer was ‘Go there inside and hang yourself I killed your mother’;”. Once again I was shocked and I couldn’t believe but that was looks like truth. After years,I found a best girl of all the time, We got a baby,a baby on our way actually. We have been happy ,very happy about that but my father offered me something.. he said here is money abort that baby. We didn’t want,our answer was never! Its our baby and we gonna make him raise,raise in a good boy! Just few months before she had an appointment he called us to come live in country where he went after my sister made suicide. We accepted it,We didn’t even try think he gonna do anything bad about that. We had to move since we couldn’t survive in our country. We moved. We started new life with our baby,but it became worse then we could imagine. He said he got a job for me,I was really happy but my budget wasn’t enough to we survive since standards was big. I was getting money from my job through him,he was taking it from chef and giving to me. After some time we noticed that he is actually taking all the money and giving to us how much he want. I had to start searching new job. I found it. We start to live perfectly. But after while…disgusting things start to happens.. he start to talk to us how he’s seeing good young girls 12-16 years old and talking how he would to be emotional with them. We ignored that. Just few months after,he tried to rape my fiance while she was breastfeeding our son. I went in night shift and right before I went in train I received a call from my girl; she was crying so loud and asking for help saying ”your father is here ,he broke doors and trying to do something bad” I had to run back till our small camp-house,thank a God I was just 3 minutes from camp-house on train station. We called police. We had to move out.We did it. We moved out from camp-house places where he was living near our camp-house. We have been so happy. But things start to go even worse. I had to send my girl to make passport for our son in our old country. After she went with all papers with which she had to make a passport exactly then our country start to request even more money for a passport and other paper stuff which wasn’t almost needed,even consul said like that. On my work they started to cheat all of the people for money and hours,example if you work 150h they write like you worked 140h and you cant do anything or prove somehow since they delete it via their computer. Most of my friends have quit but I couldn’t ,I couldn’t find a better job,the much more I worked I would get less money, apartment rent became very big (800euros) and I had to survive with 200e month,I couldn’t ,everything is expensive,bills,food,drinks,everything. And now I have stuck here. Without money. trying to get a new job every month,but receiving just messages”DECLINED”. Any help would be appreciated from our side! Please help us ,help me to bring my family back.If you don’t want its still okay,I’m thankful anyway.

Need money to buy my own house.

Hello everybody,

My name is Bayram and I’m 35 years old.

I am married and have 2 daughters. One of them is 6 years old and the other one is 4 months.

I have been working since I was 16 Years old. By trusting everyone to much I’ve not been able to save any money in those 20 years.

I also have been struggling with back pain since I was 13 years old. I was born with some abnormal configuration in my back. This was later diagnosed as a hernia.

In October, 2018 I had a surgery called ‘spondolydese’ to get my bones in my lowerback fixed together. The doctors said that I can’t ever perform fysically work where I lift stuff.

Coming December, I am going to start some educational traject of 5 months to get a degree which should allow me to have some desk job.

It is my purpose to have my own house to give my family a happy life because now I live with guilt everyday because I can’t give them a nice life. Everyday, we talk about others having nice homes.

I can’t get a loan because some bank is claiming that I signed on a document which my father signed too to get a loan for his company back then. I am 100% sure that I didn’t signe it and the signature on the document doesn’t look anywhere like my signature.

I can’t even afford a lawyer to fight for my rights. I am listed somewhere as not trustworthy to given a loan to.

With the help of you guys maybe I can buy a house before I am too old and finally live a happy life.

If desirable, I can add some proof later on which shows the debt that’s not even mine.

I can’t put an amount on here because I am ashamed to even ask for this. What does a house cost these times? I live in Belgium.

If you guys want, I can do something in favor by email like sending a drawing of anything you want as gratitude. I can’t draw that good but just to show how much it means to me.

Or I can make some photos of animals or something else. Just anything that shows my gratitude.

Let me know please.

HELP A GIRL OUT

Hi! I don’t really know how this work’s so bear with me please!

So far in life I’ve been living off of my parent’s money, you know, as every child does… Recently I’ve decided to grow up and help them with some money for a change, so for the past few months I’ve tried getting multiple jobs but with no luck. Since I’m in highschool there is so much i can do, I even tried those apps who are supposed to help you gain cash if you play games but here I am! I don’t need much cash, even a 20$ would help me right now, I’m really sick of just laying around and doing nothing so I just need some money to help me get a job. To be honest I don’t even have money for lunch at school but I can’t tell my parents that, they would worry too much. My mom already has three jobs and even that is not enough… We are already behind on our bills and struggling to make money to get new clothes for spring because we literally just have winter clothes. They would kill me if they found out that i came on the internet for money but it’s my only choice right now. The school is not going so well either and I feel like I’m just a waste of space at this point. I spent all weekend trying to make money some way or another but I failed, this is my last hope. I love my parents so much and I would do anything to help them. This past year we’ve been struggling even more because we found out that I have a pretty bad case of scoliosis and I have to wear a corset that would help me so much with my spine but it’s so expensive, I’ve fortunately got hold of one but I grew out of it and now I need another one. We really can’t cope anymore. I’ve been praying every night for a solution and today when I found out about this website it was literally a glimpse of hope! So please, please, if you can, please help me and my family in our time of need! I know we can make it out of this situation somehow but for now we really need your help! My goal is to raise 100$-150$ but like I said, even a 10$ at this point would be more than enough.

Thank you so much for the patience and the opportunity!

Desperately need help saving my house

Hello, my name is Rock. I was debating with myself about posting this, but since my family got me into a situation I can’t dig myself out of, I’m asking you for a moment to read my story.

My parents separated about 6 years ago and my father left. Normally that wouldn’t be an issue but my mother lost her job as the company she worked for filed for bankruptcy, my grandmother was dying from cancer and I was misdiagnosed with cancer. I didn’t know at the time I was misdiagnosed. Therefore, I lost my job as well. My role model (dad) doesn’t want to have anything to do with it and he’s is ignorant he doesn’t care I might be homeless.

My father took out a loan of 35k and made my grandmother to be his guarantor for a loan. When he left, he refused to pay it off and when my grandmother died, the debt fell on my mother and myself. I, in the meanwhile, worked abroad and was not paid regularly as that company was a scam. Bills have built up over the last few years and now we’ve got to a point when we owe a total of 55k. Our house is about to be auctioned if we don’t pay off the debt.

I have nothing to sell and even if I did, it wouldn’t be even 5% of the amount. I’m also not eligible for a loan. I’m 30 years old and I feel stuck. I have two jobs, trying my best to do both full-time but it’s still not enough. The payments are too high and I’m left with no money to get me through the month.

I feel disappointed and ashamed that my life came to this to plead for help. I feel powerless and didn’t know where to turn. I hope someone can help me out as I honestly don’t want my mother to be homeless at the age of 60. Well, I don’t want to be homeless either, to be honest. I would like to save the only thing worth saving. My home.

So if you can help, it would be well appreciated. Thank you so much for your time to read my story. Take care and I’ll keep my fingers crossed.

HELP

Hi. Im 20 years old and few years back I made a mistake that I have been paying for to this day. I have lost weight and countless of nights to worries and stress. I had a habit of taking pay day loans and even though it isn’t in the tens of thousands like some people I still need help with the 3700€. I have been actively looking for jobs and have kept myself from falling back to them. The mistake I made was using them to pay for my other loans and thus circulating in never ending interest payments. I would do anything to go back in time and trust me I would’ve never even browsed their sites. I am due to lose my credit and this will keep me from getting an apartment in the future. Please if you can help me, do so and ay god bless you. I am currently studying in university and would like to move on with my life. Once I get rid of these bills I will do my best to better myself enough so one day it would be me browsing these sites and donating money to those in need of it. I would be thankful for any donation. Im hopeless in regards to these bills. If a thought about it crosses my mind before sleep, I wouldn’t be able to sleep for hours to come. These past few years have been the toughest I’ve ever been through and would really like, need and appreciate any form of help available, whether it be advice of purely financial. I have two outstanding bills that have kept me from moving forward with my life. Money has lost its meaning as even when I have 100€ (for example) I know that the 100 compared to the money I owe its literally crumbs. This has caused me to lose sight of money and I hate myself for falling in to this. This has severed my ties to some close people and I don’t want to lose anymore. I have looked for jobs tirelessly and have yet to get one which guarantees enough hours per week. I need help and I am literally begging for it now. I haven’t taken any loans since and will never take any of this nature. I am ashamed of myself and what I’ve become. If you are reading this and are in a position where you can help, please do.

Single mother of two toddlers in critical situation

Hello, my name is Nikki. I am a single 21year old mother of two toddlers (aged 2,5 and 1). We live in the Czech Republic.

I had to postpone my school because I had my kids, so I’m currently back in high school and trying to finish, so that I can find some job… I have NO family or help I could turn to and this is my last hope for financial help.

Ever since my ex left us for another woman I can’t pay for my school bills and I had to get a part time job as a cleaner, where I take my children with me, to even be able to pay for the rent and some food. I was completely dependent on him with sharing the bills but he doesn’t want to pay for anything anymore. I am completely exhausted and helpless at this point.

Not only is it difficult with my babies, but I’m very stressed out because of all the school work, bills, food, etc… I have one year left of school, until then I can’t get no other job other than a cleaner. My asthma and eczema are getting really bad to the point where I can’t sleep all night from the pain in my hands. I’m trying to save every penny I can.

There’s no one to help me with the kids and I don’t even have the extra money to put them in kindergarten for a few hours so that I can go for my classes or work more. It’s been three months since we’ve been struggling this way and now my school is threatening me with exclusion and sanctions, because I couldn’t pay my school fees this year. They are 30000 Czech crowns which is approximately 1312 dollars for the semester and 5800 Czech crowns which is 250 dollars for kindergarten fees for both of the kids! It’s all I’m asking for!!

I really feel uncomfortable asking for so much money, I am at my lowest point, the last thing I want is to be taken to court because I can’t pay for my school fees… Please it will change our life’s if there’s anyone who can contribute even 5 or 10 dollars each I will be thankful for absolutely ANY help!!!This is my PayPal me address

Macbook Air for the start of my design exploring and business

I am an artist and a designer. I graduated the Academy of Arts. I have been practicing in an IT company in Las Palmas, on the Canary Islands as a designer. I have the idea to create a design company, whose emphasis is digital art. I have a very big idea, which, for now, nobody has used it before. So, I could be the first. For my work and development, a good computer is needed, and my old one prevents me, ’cause it’s slow and has not been made to use big programs such as Photoshop, Illustrator and Premiere Pro. I talked to many developers and computer experts, and everyone had the same suggestion: MacBook Air 13″ Retina/DC i5 and it costs 1833 € . I do not want for my first steps in my new business idea to running slowly. That’s why I need a much better computer.. I am talented and above-average intelligent person, I want to use it. I read a lot of books and I am exploring a lot, so I have to carry a computer all around with me, in the library, when I’m away from home, on a bus ….The business I plan to establish is related to design and digital art and I think it will be very productive. That’s why I can no longer waste my time with my slow computer. Unfortunately, I am currently unemployed, because I am working and exploring on a business idea, and I can not afford such a computer to myself. I wish you could help me achieve my goal. Photography, which I uploaded, represents my four works. I want to be a person who likes to do his job and an entrepreneur who is developing his idea of art. The place where I live is a bit harder to make money of art and design. I want to prove to society that dreams exist to be realized, that is the path to follow, although sometimes we have to work hard on it. Step by step, star by star. I am various skills person, drawing, painting, graffiti, programming, design, and I do not want a bad computer blocking my way to the stars. I am from Serbia, Novi Sad and I am 29 years old girl. My dream is to have my own digital art and design company and I need a MacBook Air to start without any without hindrance. Thank you a lot, kind regards, Kosovka S. Serbia/Novi Sad

With A Little Help From A Stanger

Hi,

my name is Kristina and I am a 28. Not sure if someone will ever read this, but I had to give it a try, even though I realize my problems are not so serious compared to other people here.

My story is quite simple and short (well, I’m still young, right?). I was born, my parents divorced, I went to primary school, had good grades, was abused by a family friend, went to high school and then university.

After finishing university never got employed in the field of my study. I was always working in hospitality while studying and after finishing school I was lost and didn’t know what to do with my life (still not sure about that one, btw). I married a man I loved, but abandoned him, because I realized it was more his dream to be married then mine (never marry while in a quarter life crisis, kids) . Then I escaped to a foreign country to work and kinda find myself, working in hospitality again.

Now I am back in my home country (I’d rather not tell where I don’t want my friends to find out about this) because for the first time in my life I have a plan. And I am excited and scared about it at the same time. I accepted my fate and even though I feel intelligent and capable and have a degree I want to try to get on my own feet and do business in the field I have the most experience in – in hospitality. After all these years working for other people, I would like to open my very own cafe. And of course, I need money to make it come true. I already spent all of my savings for the renovation of the place I found (pic attached). It’s small and a bit dark, but it’s gonna be mine. I also have a job to make ends meet (the rent is not gonna pay by itself, right?).

It’s that simple. Just an ordinary girl with first world problems asking for your help. Could you help me out?

P.S. If you don’t know what to do in life, go to Iceland, you might find out. :)

Thank you.

Marrying the Love of my Life

Dear whoever is reading this,

My name is Rania, I’m a 25 year old girl who recently graduated from university and still struggling to find a good job to settle in. I am currently working at a library as well as freelancing here and there and trying to save money.

I’ve been in love with this guy for 15 whole years. We are elementary sweethearts. His name is Yan and he is also 25 still working on his degree. We are engaged, and about to get married this summer. We’re so much in love and really want to spend the rest of our lives together.

The problem is, we have nothing as of now, and we need some help to get started on our life long journey together. My parents are trying to help us financially, with buying the house, a car, getting on our feet, and also with the honeymoon expenses. But it’s not going to be enough. My parents are also struggling financially and can only do so much.

I would truly appreciate any help we can get from anyone. The ultimate goal is to at least pay part of the house cost, get a cheap car, and help pay for the wedding expenses and the honeymoon.

Without this help, we’re both going to have a hard time. My parents will not even give us their blessing, because they are worried we can’t do this. But we are determined and working hard on saving money, and finding good paying jobs. We haven’t even went on a dinner date in a year because we don’t want to waste any unnecessary money.

Donations will mean so much to both us and you really have no idea how much it’s going to help us as a couple to start our lives together and go from here. This person is my best friend and the love of my life. I want nothing in this world than to live a happy, comfortable life with him, have kids together, grow old together, and always be there for each other.

And that’s a promise before man and God, if we get the help we need, I’m going to pay it back to the universe once we get on our feet. I’m going to donate to young couples, and help them achieve their goals as you guys have helped me. Thanks in advance from the bottom of my heart to each and every person who took the time to read this and thought about helping.

Little help for a novelist in difficulty

Hi everyone.

I’m a twenty-eight years old guy from Italy. So, early apologize for any grammatical mistake I could do.

I’m unemployed for almost a year, now. Here in Italy, things are bad. And there are few job possibilities, low paid. I do some little works from time to time. Leafleating, most of the time. I have a strong passion for storytelling since I was a teenager. I love novels, and movies too. My dream is to go to Hollywood with a screenplay of my own and find a job there as a screenwriter. I decided to attend a private writing school few years ago. From then, my parents always supported me with costs. I tried hard, and finally two years ago I finished my first novel. But… It didn’t go very well. I mean, it was only my first novel and there was more work to do.

In the meanwhile, my dad died. It was a shock for all of us. I will not speak about that, anyway. I mentioned that episode only to give a more accurate picture of the situation I’m living. The only thing I could say is: my mom needs help, now. With fees, bills, and other costs.

I’m trying so hard to help her, and in the meantime, I work hard EVERY DAY on my dream. I finished my second novel, a story that tries to teach how to overcome a mourning.

Now, I received a very interesting contract proposal from a very interesting publisher. The thing is: the publisher asks to divide the costs of publication with the author, to reduce the risks of a failure. It’s indeed a very common adopted strategy for beginners writers, here in Italy.

So, I’m asking you to make a donation, if you want, so I will be able to publish the novel, in order to make money, continue the studies, and help my family. My mom.

Thank you.

I need help for health and financial reasons.

Unfortunately I am in a situation that makes me resort to means that I never thought would be necessary, but sometimes we have to surrender to the evidence.

I have been for about 2 months with a health problem, osteo-necrosis in the hip of the right side, which makes it impossible for me to work at the moment, derived from the pains and limitation in the movements.

I have done a series of tests, to confirm the extent of the problem, the last one I did, was an MRI, the result of which I do not yet have, and the consultation with the doctor will be on February 28th.

What makes me come here to ask for help is the fact that unfortunately what social security ends up paying for incapacity to work, is 65% of the gross salary, and for this purpose food subsidies are not counted, and the premiums of performance, which usually correspond to 30% of my monthly income.

Which means I get less than 50% of my usual monthly income.

I came to this situation because about two and a half years ago I had a health problem that led to surgery, which eventually absorbed all the savings my wife and I had, and even had to use all of my 2 credit cards, and to date we have been unable to rebalance our finances.

To make the situation a little more complicated, my wife discovered last year that she has fibromyalgia, and the follow-up in the public system is so bad that we end up having to resort almost exclusively to private health services.

And the medication is not exactly cheap.

What I come here to ask for at the moment, is no more than help to pay the credit cards, since it allows that the value that we do not have to use to pay the same, be used in the day to day, and the payment of bills of health.

We need to pay the credit cards (and the intention is not to use them again!) Of approximately € 2500,00.

Thinking about the possibility (or probability) of having to stay at least another month without working, to balance the accounts of this month, and the month of March, € 550.00.

So the total amount I ask for is € 3050,00.

This value will allow mental rest, and focus on physical recovery.

I spent the days doing the math, trying to figure out where else I could cut, to face up to the responsibilities, and I came to the conclusion that I would have to cut further in food, which would not be healthy, and would make my condition worse. health, as well as the ability to recover.

That is why everything I write to you, I appeal to your understanding and help.

The only thing I want is to get back to work as fast as health allows me to.

It is enough that the medication that I am doing (a derivative of morphine), allow me to endure 8 hours sitting, without being torturing, that I return to work.

Then, what will follow, I prefer not to think, because everything indicates that only the situation can be resolved through surgery.

But, one thing at a time …

I thank you with all the force of my existence,

Miguel

Please help my mother and me

It’s so hard for me to do this, but I can’t think of anything else I could possibly do. I work a full time job that pays me around $370 a month. I live with my mother who will turn 60 in December and she’s still waking up at 4 a.m. to go clean a restaurant, for $115 a month, 6 days a week, twice a day. We’re doing everything we can to clear the credit we got – to have central heating in the apartment. Some of you may laugh at the amount we need, but for us it’s a lot – $2500. She lost her second job last month and we’re pretty much struggling to make ends meet. I haven’t been able to sleep normally for the past couple of months because I’m afraid of what may happen tomorrow or the next day. Will we be able to pay the bills on time, not even mentioning buying something little for ourselves?
We’ve been struggling since I can remember, honestly. We live in a small town in Bulgaria where things aren’t good. When I was 14 I got my first scholarship in high school – $10, 3 times a month for good grades. I never relied on my parents for money because they didn’t have much. I picked fruits – not for fun, but to pay the electricity bills.
I never wanted to be rich, I just want to have a good night sleep with no anxiety, no depression, and no lump in my throat that makes me cry every time I think about this debt. I’ve been looking for a second job since last January – a distant job, a job without a contract, translating stuff, whatever it is, just to be able to get a little bit ahead. I’ve gone to interviews and sent CV’s to dozens of job ads, but I still haven’t found anyone who wants to hire someone who’s already working 8, 9, and 10 hour shifts that change from early to late shift every couple of days.
I’m desperate. Next month is my birthday. I don’t wish for anything anymore, I just don’t want my mother or me to feel worthless. I can only hope that there are some good people out there who are willing to help us get back on our feet. I’ve always tried to help people however I can and I’ve always believed in good Karma, etc. So far, it hasn’t come back to me. If there is anyone willing to help us, your help will be greatly appreciated, however small it is! If I can raise just a fifth of the whole amount, that will mean at least 6 monthly payments for the credit.
Thank you for reading just a part of my story! If you can help me find a way to help my situation, please do so! I will work at night, just as long as there is something I can do to get paid.
