Asking for some help to get back on my feet

Hello all,

I need a little help from some kind strangers to get back up on my feet.

I am 26 years old and I live in Colorado. I no longer have any living family members that I know of. I lost my job about two months ago. I had some savings I was able to stay afloat with and a few friends were able to offer some assistance to me. I am currently attending a community college to get a degree

which would help me get a higher paying job.

I lost my parents 4 years ago in a car accident involving a semi. The inheritance went to paying off their debt and partially covered funeral costs. My grandfather was then able to finish paying off the funeral. I lost him a year later.

I am by myself in this world just trying to get to a more stable place.

I am still trying to find a new part time job that can carry me through my degree. My funds are running low and won’t last me much longer.

I have enough money left to cover my bills this month but after that I won’t have much left to provide for myself with.

Ive never been the type of person to ask for financial help but I don’t have any more options for the time being.

Everyone needs help at some point in life. I give what I can when I can in hopes of good karma.

Im originally from New Mexico where I grew up and my parents and I moved to Colorado because my dad found a job here. It has been very hard since I lost them.

I live by myself in an apartment. I am not in any kind of relationship. I have no pets. It is just me and I hate that I can not provide for myself currently. If I lose my apartment, I can no longer attend school without an address.

My mom was an alcoholic but I am proud to say to don’t drink.

I graduated high school in the top 15 percent of my class. At the time, my family could not afford to send me to college even with the scholarship I had received. Once I could, I began school again last year. I have two semesters left on my associates degree.

I am working towards becoming a veterinarian for horses and livestock. I love being around animals and I would love to be able to help them.

I’m not asking for a certain amount. Anything can help. Thank you for your time in reading this. I hope life brings you happiness!

Brother-in-law killed and sister in coma after car accident.

Please read my story. It will take you a few minutes.
Last July, my sister and husband and child (10 months) had a serious car accident in Italy. My brother-in-law was killed and my sister was badly wounded and in a coma. My sister threw herself over her baby (my nephew) during the accident as a mama lion protecting her child. That is why my nephew survived and was unharmed.
My sister (she is Dutch) lived with her husband (he was Italian) and a child in London.
My sister and I are alone and have no parents anymore.
I had to stop working immediately to go to Italy for my sister and nephew.
The parents and sister of my brother-in-law (they are Italian) were of course there too.
Because I had to stay by my sister’s side and arrange everything, I was unable to take care of my nephew.
No problem, because my brother-in-law’s parents could do that for so long.
After 15 days my sister (still in a coma) was transported to London because of the insurance.
In the meantime, my brother-in-law’s parents and sister have filed a request for full custody. They were devastated by grief and did not want to give my nephew back to my sister, because they thought my sister would not survive. I could not have it but I went to fight for my nephew.
But my sister is very strong and came out of a coma after 7 weeks. Her body was completely broken and her head was very confused by the coma.
She was the first to ask about her child, but she did not remember his name. I told her that he was still in Italy and that he would be with her soon.
In the meantime I had to hire 2 lawyers (1 in Italy and 1 in London) to get my nephew back to his mother in London.
After 2 months I had to go to Italy for the trial myself. I lost it because didn’t have a good lawyer.
I had to hire a new, even more expensive lawyer.
In the meantime a friend of my sister was sitting with her at her bedside. Every day she asked about my nephew.
In the appeal I won and after, in total 4 months after the terrible accident, I was able to bring my nephew back to my sister. He was now 1 year old and had to cry a lot when he saw my sister. Because she wanted full custody of my nephew and did not want to give it back to my sister, my sister broke that contact. My nephew no longer has a father but also no grandparents anymore, his only connection with his father. This is horribly painful and sad.
This lawsuit cost me a total of 60,000 euros and I also just had to pay my bill and hotel in London.
After 6 months I managed to get my sister back to the Netherlands. She is rehabilitating and in the meantime I take care of my nephew and as a result I cannot work because of which I have almost no income. Step by step my sister is doing better and better, but she still has a long way to go.
Because of this terrible accident I lost my dear brother-in-law, I almost lost my sister and I got into big debts myself.
I am happy with every euro and I hope you can alleviate my financial pain. Thank you for reading.

Please give me a second chance

Thanks everyone, who have decided to read my story here.

My name is Tomas, and now I am 26 years old. I come from the Czech Republic (situated in the middle of Europe) and I have lived here my whole life so far in a town of 45k inhabitants. Yes, you are right, I am not the native speaker, but I am going to try me best to let you know about the reason I am begging you for your help.

When I was a young boy I started to play ice hockey in my hometown. To be honest, I was quite good at it – being the captain of the team, playing with the older, however was not fortunate with well-educated coaches who could properly work with my talent and also me myself did not have the information and experience nowadays players have by great internet sharing from the best professionals all over the world. So I did not do the all the things in the best possible way and I did not reach some of the best teams in my country.

Luckily, I was a good student at the same time. It means the whole time I was getting the best grades and while was still playing ice hockey I started studying on the most prestigious high school in the region.

Then I made an uneasy decision – I gave up my ice hockey career and put all my effort in gaining the best education. I successfully got myself on the University of Medicine, but I was used to divide my time into studying and performing physical activities as well. Nevertheless, this is something you just cannot spoil yourself with when studying medicine for being a doctor in my country. I did not find the balance and ended up after only one year there with one missing exam.

Suddenly, I have found myself in the situation where I had the best potential for being a successful sportsman or a well-educated person but did not make a use of any of them and also lost my girlfriend Lucie and left my family disappointed.

Still enough time for getting back on my legs again though. I started studying journalism on the University of Philosophy and got a job as a camera man shooting the live stream coverage of sport events in my country and Austria and Germany as well. This was mainly for the betting providers and soon I realized I can find some patterns in these games and make some extra money for myself with that.

Soon, it started not being some extra money, but the amount some people in my country work for many months. I became richer than 90 % of the people of my age in the Czech Republic and lost motivation for finishing my studies. Still I did keep my personality and was caring and giving a help to people in need as well as respecting all kinds of work.

I thought in the end I had managed to find some luck for me in the life and wanted to establish a family and build a decent business, while the combination of these two will give me a happy life with enough time and funds.

I found a girl Eva, searching where I can invest my money and everything looked promising. However, it did not last more than a year. Eva appeared to be emotionally unstable, keeping me under continual pressure and start drinking hard soon. Since I had a really nice time with her for some 10 months, I did not want to leave her and was blaming myself too.

When it started to escalate I thought I could find at least some happiness in the thing I was good at, I started with betting again. Please, remember, you cannot do it when you have problems, when you are under some kind of pressure or you just want to make you relax – but better, do not do it at all. You must be totally concentrated and with the clear background too. I was not and step by step I lost the major part of what I have earned previously and then also money I have borrowed.

Of course my relationship was then ruined completely, and also my relationship with my family, which decided to help me with my debts, is hardly damaged.

I know I was absolutely gifted in my life and it is only my fault, I did not get not the best but at least better from that. Unfortunately, I cannot have a second chance right from the beginning, but still I can have it now and I would be endlessly grateful for any help from you.

I do regularly work and keep paying my debt to my family, but this situation cannot allow me to start all over again. I would love to apply again for university, to become a teacher and give my life a meaning again. Now I need $9000 to clear my debts and be able to apply for the next school year.

Please, give me a chance to not waste this life.

Money for School

Hey, I am a full time student, and as anyone pursuing their studies full time, it is very difficult to maintain any sort of financial stability.

I am finding to very difficult to find adequate employment, as with only being able to work reduced hours, I can’t make enough money to support myself whilst studying.

My family has always been poor, for numerous reasons, one of which is my mother is a single mother of six and she can’t maintain all of us adequately, so I try my best not to burden her further. Especially because my brother is special needs, and he requires a lot of care, which my mother is always busy providing.

Any money that I make, I give to my mother to help pay bills and rent, and that had caused me to be very much unprepared for the next school year of college.

I am here as a last resort in the hopes that someone would be kind enough to consider my situation and my need to continue schooling so that I may be able to one day pursue a better life for myself and my family.

I am very ambitious in the field that I am studying for (Early Childhood Development), and one day hope to be successful in this career choice.

I am faced with difficulties with issues such as school lunch, where last year I had gone numerous days without food because there just wasn’t enough to go around in my house. Other days I struggled to meet assignment deadlines because I had been confined to the working hours of the public library, whereby they closed around late afternoon, and I don’t have any internet or computer access of my own.

I would really wish that next year I don’t face there trials again, because it was very very hard and I remember crying more often than not because I would be overwhelmed by the confines of my situation which left me so frustrated.

It is not my intention to write out a sob story, I don’t mean to implore your sympathies but I also do.

If you could help this girl do better at school, I would be so greatful, and it would be such a relief, you would have no idea.

Thank you…

The image I have attached are the grades I was able to achieve last year, I didn’t know what else to post, but this image no less is an indicator on how hard I am choosing to pursue my studies.

Help for a fresh start in life

My life story
So it begins with me, a young man, who failed on life. My parents educated me, but i was drawn to the dark side of the teenage life. Got into alcohol and gambling, and in like no time i got addicted without even realizing that.
At the age of 23 i started making debts all around, since i was not working. I know i was a parasite of this society (please, if you can don’t judge). As i said, i got a lot of debts, so i started working, trying to earn some money to pay back what i owe… But i failed again.. I got a credit from a bank (15.000 $) to pay all my debts, and this is the moment where i made a big mistake. The monthly pay was more than half of my salary, which i didn’t payed attention when i signed the papers.. Two months later, the only person that kept me on the right path left me, cause i was a mess..
That was a devastating moment. I lost myself again in alcohol and cigarettes, and was about to lose my job too (but managed to keep that).
I realized then i need to make a change, to work on myself and get rid of these toxic and destructive habits, and i did..
I got rid of all the alcohol in the house, and stopped buying cigarettes, and i’m proud to say that now I’m 1 year sober.. It feels great… Oh, and started to talk with my ex-girlfriend again. She keeps telling me that she loved me, and she still does, but can’t be with a guy that’s a mess. And want me to prove that i can do the right thing and be supportive in the family.. And i can understand her… She want a man, not the mess i was..
I’m fighting to get a fresh start in life, trying everyday and working hard for that.. But the problem I’m having is that the bank is keeping me in place. Taking more than half of my salary, is kinda hard to live from one month to another.And i took some time to think this over, i know is not ok to ask people for money, but i hope that if there are people that can feel me, or understand what is to make a BIG mistake in life (and the power needed to realize and start making a change), will know how much little support can do.
I’m only trying to raise the money to cover the credit from the bank. But no matter if you will help me even a little, i did this mostly to ease the pain, tell my story, and maybe if there are peoples reading this that got trough what i’m going, I just wanna tell you, keep up the good work, heads up, and keep fighting. Don’t give up on life.
‘Cause even when is hard, life is beautiful. Thank you for taking the time to read, God bless you all, and if you can’t help, please say one prayer for me. Hope i will be able to make my parents proud, and make myself a family i can be proud of.

me and my daughter

Halo good people! I live alone with my daughter since her birth. We are alone for full 17 years. My daughter’s father didn’t want her. I don’t have parents so we don’t have any kind of  support in life. We are renting apartment for 10 years (we changed 8 apartments in that time) so I do two jobs to provide survival to me and my daughter. We live in one small town in Serbia.

We need finance help to change our life. We want to move from Serbia because we are alone our whole life.  We want to move to Austria because of better future. We need money specifically for rent to apartment or room and survival to first salary. Total amount of that is about 2000-2500 euros because of deposit for apartment or room.

My daughter was student of generation in elementary school (she was 15 years old then). She was going on contests from  math, biology and chemistry and she was winning awards on city and province levels.She played volleyball and she was perspective player but she quit because she broke both of her arms and unfortunately she missed her change to change life in that way. I want to secure her good life and going to college.

We are struggling our whole life. I have heart disease and I am taking beta blocker for five years. That are consequences of hard life. I have been handball player and I have never drink and smoked so my disease consequence of stress. Unfortunately here in Serbia and beside two jobs we can’t buy house and secure nothing more than survival.

I can not tell that we don’t have what to eat or that we are sleeping on the street but we have nothing more than that. We never had car, we went on vacation once but we have been trying to make our life better but we never can change a lot. I wanted to go first alone in Austria to secure accommodation for us but I didn’t have anyone to look after my daughter if I would go because out family contains us and our seven years old cat.

We don’t want to give up and we still believe there are people who want to help.If you want to help us please donate on http://paypal.me/mama566283

Thanks to all people with good heart and those who read story of our life!

Young woman in need of help

Hi everyone!

I’m a 29 year old woman suffering from severe social anxiety, agoraphobia and depression. My mental health making it almost impossible to keep a job longer than a couple months I’ve been unemployed and, as a result, struggling with money for the past few months now. I have no family to help me and I’ve isolated myself so much lately that I don’t think I have anyone I can call a friend anymore. That’s why I’m here, begging strangers from the internet for money even if it feels like the hardest thing to do. Pride and all…

Honnestly, this is a last desperate attempt at saving myself. The good news is I may have found a job starting in september. The bad news is I’m short on cash (I need 300€ to be exact) and I will get evicted if I don’t find money in the next couple days. I’m terrified right now and desperate. I really, really do not want to be homeless. In fact, I’ve been thinking about suicide more and more lately. There is a part of me who wants to live though, which is why I’m writting this, there’s also a part of me, getting louder and louder, who is tired of fighting against her own brain. I’m tired of hearing people say things like ‘it gets better’ because in my experience it never does. I’m just tired.

But I also still have a little hope. Hope that somehow things WILL get better. Hope that I will get the job I got interviewed for. Hope that I can go back to therapy. Hope that I will get better. Hope that someday I will be a cat owner again. This is litterally all I want in life: a home, a cat, and a better mental health. I don’t think I’m asking for much?

So if you’re reading this and can, please help me. Help me so I can keep a roof over my head until I work again and can afford therapy again. Any donation will be appreciated. And if you do decide to help me, I thank you with all my heart. I will be forever grateful!

And if you’re reading this and can relate, please don’t do what I did. Don’t isolate yourself. Talk to someone!

Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to read my story.

Help Kristina to get medical and rehabilitation treatment after an accident

Hello everyone!

I’m trying to raise money for my good friend from the university. Her name is Kristina, she is 24 years old. Not so long ago the terrible accident has happened to her. She is injured from falling from the high building and currently in a medical institute In Moscow, Russia fighting for her life. She received almost mortal injuries, her back is completely broken and she will be paralysed for the rest of her life if she even survives all the surgeries she now getting. ​Luckily Kristina woke up from comatose state but she can’t talk or move. Her parents are with her and had to move from their hometown to be with her for the treatment period leaving everything they had behind. I have her mother on the phone everyday and from what i got from her Kristina’s heart is stopping almost daily because the psychological and physical pressure she is now experiencing is hardly compatible with living. She will stay in the hospital for approximately 2 years and then will need a long rehabilitation to come to terms with her state.
I’ve been friends with Kristina for 6 years and I can surely say that she is wonderful, light and kind person. She had so many dreams about her future and always wanted only good things for people she loves. She doesn’t deserve everything that happened to her and ruined her life at such a young age. Kristina is the only child of her parents and what they are going through right now scary to even imagine.

Due to high medical expenses and the long term treatment that requires a lot I’ve decided to start this campaign and ask other kind people from all around the world to help Kristina and her parents. Me and other friends of hers are trying to help as we can but it’s not enough and it’s breaking my heart that we can’t do enough to help her to survive. No one wants to put more pressure on Kristina’s parents with asking other people for something so I’m willing to take the full responsibility with organizing this campaign.

Even a small help will be much appreciated!
Thank you so much for attention and taking time to read or participate in this!

I dream about having children

To start off, I’d like to thank everyone who clicked on my request and is reading it. My husband and I are both hardworking people. We live in France and earn a regular salary (my husband is French and I’m Ukrainian). We live in a small one bedroom apartment and even rent out our couch through airbnb to save on rent. We can be considered as quite successful as we have all of our basic necessities. Wanting a bigger apartment can be considered a luxury.

I’m 36 y.o. and have no children yet. As you know, my biological clock is ticking and the longer I wait the higher the chance I will need a help of IV (which costs a lot of money) to get pregnant. Furthermore, this was confirmed by the doctor in the US, who told me 6 years ago to plan having kinds ‘right away’ as my egg reserve is diminished or very limited. Life, however, often has other plans for us. It didn’t happen for me. And now that I’m married, I have yet another hurdle. As our apartment is very small and it’s a rental, to start a family we need to buy our own apartment, be it the same one bedroom just slightly bigger to have a baby. Real estate is quite expensive in the area we live in and we qualify for only a small credit with a bank. We are ready to take a loan and pay it during 30 years if needed, but banks here don’t give the same home purchasing loans as in the US. The highest amount we can get is 100,000 EUR while we need 300,000 to be able to buy a one bedroom and not a studio. Even if we go further away to the countryside, prices remain quite high and it will cost us 250,000.

I feel awkward asking for help on the internet, but I have not much other choice as to pray and hope for help. It’s a vicious cycle I find myself in, as I desperately want kids. We try our best to save and even diminish our rent through airbnb (we have people constantly sleeping in the couch in our living room) and yet I might very soon find myself in a position to have IV as my only option while I certainly can’t afford it. While we are not poor, we still find ourselves blocked in these brackets with not much hope.

If you know what it feels like to want to start and family, to want to have kids and not being able to yet, you will understand what I feel. While there’s stil hope for me, I need help. And as much as it pains me to post my request here (as I’m sure there are so many more serious cases), I will be forever thankful for any donation, any help you can spare. And I will keep you in my prayers. Thank you again for reading my request and thank you for your consideration.

House for me and granny

Hello, I think that all our life is very bad story. When I was born, my familly was happy. But it was 40 years ago. When I was almost five, my mother was killed by my father. He just wanted to did it, no other reason. I lied near by mom and he was not interested. That night I woke up in a police car. That’s my only memory for this terrbile day.

All my familly broke up. My aunt (sister of my mom) wanted me, my granmother (mother of my mom) wanted me as well. Judge send me to my aunt and the hell began. She’s just getting crazy. More than two years of a derision, beating, turture and no out going, instead the school. No granny! Her own second daughter prohibited visited me. No contact for more than two years.

After that appalling time the social care sent me to granny. Since that was I the most beloved girl all over the world. Trully and deeply beloved, but alone. No one other cares about us. We do not believe to anyone else.

Now, after 33 years we are still together, still alone. I have no kids, no husband. I needed her, now she need me. I have never left our state, never seen a see, but I don’t care about that. We have a bigger problem. That’s why I wrote this.

We do not have a proper home. Only a very little flat with noisy neighbors, which make us crazy. She is almost 89 years old and she suffers, we suffer, every single day. With my salary I cannot afford a house, not in this life. And my granny deserves to live much better, I was hoping that I will be able to care of her, like she was, but I will not. Not without a help. We have now a little bit more than 30 percent of prize of house near to town. And we have to be near, because of doctors and a hospital. She really deserves that care.

She was born in a house in a small village, but her brother gave her some little change and took her off the house with three kids and old mom. No husband, she devorced. Men in our familly have almost never existed. Her dad died when she was eleven. Her sister died in hers seven, scalded all her body. And when her kids were finally aduld, devil came back into her life and killed her beautiful sweet girl, my mom. Yes, the pain is still alive and all around us.

Now I am asking You, begging You, for help with our dream to live in our own house. It is very expensive in here. We have only 70 000 dollars (prize of a flat) and for a smaller house we need almost 250 000. With salary I have, 720 dollars for month I really cannot afford a house. I almost crying becouse It’s very hard to believe that in the world are people whitch could help and maybe they read this.

Thank You, if You read this to the end and I am very sorry for my English.

Help My Mum

Hey!

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

I am turning to you because of my mum (without her knowing). She has this lifelong dream to live in a little house in the middle of the woods. And she has been working hard on it for over 20 years.

She is now 58. She lives alone in a small island in a small country called Estonia. Me and my sister and cousin visit her as often as we can, but we have moved away from the island years ago and started our own lives. We help her as much as we can, but none of has any extra money laying around to finish up her dream now.

She has had a long, often difficult life. She has raised 2 kids alone and for a few years took in 2 other kids as well. We had to get by with very little money, but she always made sure we had food on the table and clothes to wear. She sewed our clothes herself sometimes. Even though we didn’t have a lot, we always had her love. She has taught me that women can do anything – from raising kids to building a house. She is my role model.

Her dream is half way done. There exists “in the middle of woods” and there is “a little house”, but the house is not finished and with the pace it’s going, I’m afraid she won’t be able to finish the house in time, so she could enjoy it herself as well.

She saves up whatever money she has left over every month to buy building materials for the house once or twice a year, but it isn’t a lot. In summertime me and my sister and cousin go and help her with building the house, but it’s all done in very small bits and pieces because we just can´t afford to do it faster.

The house she is building used to be a sauna. She has herself, with help from family built 2 extra rooms to the house over 20 years. She has alone changed the roof of the little house. We have together in the last years put up new boards/planks around the house outside (not sure what the English term for it is – outside walls basically). Even my, at that time 7-year-old, daughter was there to help with hitting the nails to the wall.

But despite all our efforts, I am not sure it is enough to make my mums dream happen any time soon.

I have added a few pictures from the different stages of building and also from the outside.

I know this isn´t an emeregncy situation, but it is MY dream, that by the time my mum turns 60, then with my efforts and, if you are kind enough, with your help, I can give her HER dream.

Thank you again, for taking the time to read my story and if you have some extra money, I want you to know it will go to fulfill a lifelong dream of a hardworking woman, who herself would never ask for help.

Struggling Student with Unaffordable Vet Bill

Hello!

I am a 21 year old girl named Hanne. I live alone with my dog, Bella. I live in Norway, which is in the northern part of Europe. It is pretty cold here. I study to become a nurse, which has always been a dream of mine. I love both people and animals, and I have always wanted to include that in my future job. I can’t wait to finish my studies, so that I can get out there and help people.

Lately I’ve been struggling. Since I’m a student I have very little money, but I’ve always somehow managed to make an ok living for both me and my dog. This was up until my dog broke her leg. She had surgery, but a few days later it got infected. Bella is my everything, so I asked them to do everything and anything they could for her. And they did. She is fine now, but only in a few months they will have to do another surgery, to make sure her hips and legs are fully healed into the right position. They are worrying she might have hip dysplasia.

So now I’m sitting here with a bill I have absolutely no chance to pay. And I’m awaiting another bill in a few months. If I can’t get enough money, I will either have to sell her, in order to pay the bills, or quit my full time study, and get a full time job instead. Both my dog and my study is my life, and something I never wanna give up. It is really hard for me to ask for money, but in this situation I see no other solution. I want you to know that any donation is highly appreciated, no matter how much it is. Anything will get me closer to being able to pay the vet bill.

Bella is a white Labrador Retriever. She is 2 years old, and has a lot of energy. We love going to the park, hiking and just being outdoors together. She is the best thing that’s ever happened to me, because of all the happiness the brings to the world. I don’t know what I would do without her. I really want her to get well soon, so that we can continue doing what we love.

 

Thank you so much for reading this, and thank you in advance for your help. It means the world for me.
Hanne and Bella

Moving forward

It is not possible to write my life from the past without writing a book.

I had a good life, until about a bit more than 5 years ago. All of this has started after I stopped getting paid at my job (after years still in court). Bills started pulling up, lost everything, had to close my own company, moved cities and continued to live off small paychecks.. there were a lot of times when I couldn’t buy pads for menstruation, let alone something else. Then a small gig shows up, can pay 2 weeks accommodation and food. And then same circle again. I can’t count how many times I’ve been homeless, sleeping on friends couches, friends of friends couches. If it wasn’t for my friends I would have never made it to here.

I work freelance or part-time and I would like to get a steady job. Basically a dream, after being my own boss for years while working for another company too. I was a hard worker.

I have sold all my clothes and belongings years ago. Have some medical issues but nothing too serious (diabetes, PCOS) but my medical bills are what keep me from not being able to save money.

My life consist of looking for jobs, spending what I got on food and going to doctors. Build up stress makes me go back to emergencies all the time after years of not being able to provide food or shelter. It goes up for a week or two and again same circle.

I’ve been through a lot and I spend my days helping my friends get back up on their feet but I can’t seem to help myself. At this point I don’t know if I am strong for pushing on or just delusional.

I don’t believe money comes just like this without working but I’ve hit the limit.

All I want is a chance to pay my bills, get a new place that I can call my home (in October is 3 years of not having my own place). It’s also hard to keep one job when you need to move a lot.

Healthy food is top 3 on my list of wishes as it’s just not possible to pay for any food for years.

Everyone says this is starting life from a 0. But it’s not when you can’t get to 0.

I am just trying to brake the circle, sleep in my own place and start a new life.

I do believe life is teaching me some important (yet very expensive lessons) and that’s the only reason I am still pushing. I don’t have a steady job, income, food or a house but I am grateful that I learned some lessons, become wiser maybe, have more compassion for people and I have definitely stopped judging people (which I wasn’t aware of that I was doing) cause you can’t ever know what someone is going through. And I become the master or DIY, from cooking to making my own clothes to pretending online to my worried parents that I am ok. And I know I will be with a bit of luck.

P.S. The only thing that I didn’t lose in this whole mess is my humor, in fact I became a walking irony of life.

Thank you for reading this far.

If you leave a donation, I would like to have a way to contact back once I am up on my feet again.

Chiari malformation

Hello, everybody. My name is Ana and I am 38 years old. I have a rare and degenerative disease, called chiari malformation and I also have syringomyelia, which is an associated pathology. Forgive me if my English is bad, I live in Spain and found this place by chance, while I was looking for a way to earn money at home, since I am unable to work. I had a normal life, until one day, suddenly, the symptoms began to manifest suddenly. My right side of the body fell asleep from head to toe, I can move it, but it is corked and without sensibility, I can’t use my right hand, cut a single fillet, my vision is double and I can’t walk without help, I can’t bathe alone, I can’t do food or a lot of things for which I was always independent. I got the social security to give me an electric wheelchair, because not being able to leave home alone was plunging me into grief and that gave me back some life. I live with my partner, she’s a woman too, just like me. But she works 12 hours a day, she can hardly ever be with me and when she is at home, she has to take care of the tasks that I can’t do, cleaning, food, my bathroom? It hurts me not to be able to help her and that she has so much work. Her salary, after all, is 950 euros and my pension is 730, we do not even reach 1800 euros between 2. I don’t want to go into too much detail, but the situation is difficult because I need a house that is adapted for me and a bigger car. Don’t think that I ask someone to give me a house or a car, although that would be great, but I don’t dream so high and I don’t aspire to have my whole life solved. I just need (and that’s a lot) to pay off the debts that accumulated when I had to leave my job. I have tried to get ahead and that my partner did not also worry about the economy of our house, I have helped my family who was going through a bad economic time, my sister in particular with her baby and, I have been accumulating loans that now prevent us from accessing the purchase of a home because we have too many expenses. In total we owe 33mil euros and we would have to buy a car for me, to be able to adapt it, get my wheelchair, but at least if we could get those 33000 euros, we could breathe and access the purchase of a home suitable for my health and healthier conditions because, we live for rent in a small apartment full of moisture and quite old, but renting a flat is very expensive and this is the only thing we could find years ago and, our low wages and our loans, do not allow us to leave here and have our house … I had to ask myself things before my time, things like what will become of me, who will take care of me, what will I do if one day I am left alone without great means of subsistence, without a house to live in? I’m only 38 years old and I’m already afraid of tomorrow. I would like so many things… To earn enough money so that my partner could stay at home without working and not have to be so tired, that she could spend time with me of quality and could take me to live outside of these walls, because I have a lot of desire to live and that she lives? That my little sister would not have difficulties to make ends meet and be able to help her whenever she needed it and thus alleviate her depression and helplessness and, of course, have my house at last..

Madrid is very expensive to live with such low salaries and my mistake was to ask for loans to go subsisting and now, with those outstanding amounts (no defaults, we pay every month) when we go to a real estate and explain the situation, do not call us back, so I have already given up and come to you because it is the only thing I can do now. I don’t know if it will help, but I hope it will, and life will give me a little of what I have given, because I think I deserve it. As I told you, 33000 euros would allow us to have access to a home, because we would no longer have those debts that interfere, the rest, is to fight with life as we all do. I hope someone can help me make my life a little easier. I would like to leave you my email in case anyone has any questions or needs to see my medical reports or loan instalments or whatever is necessary. I understand that there is everything in this life, but I really need it and I can prove it if required by the person or people who decide to help me, besides, I would love to be able to say thank you for the help.

Thousand thanks to all in advance. A hug

IMG-20190815-WA0001.jpg

I’m only 29 years od. For last 11 years I have been trying to HEAL our planet TECHNOLOGICALLY. Not for myself, but for we all, that are living on THIS PLANET EARTH!

I have been participating  in more than 160 projects related to alternative energetics. I have many unique/patentable ideas/prototypes that, if made reality would lower Global energy consumption by 9 percent NOW – BY 2020! These inventions  are all related to increased efficiency of generating energy, making manufacturing of any kind of products fully sustainable! Ofcourse, not any – making sure that only fully sustainable manufacturing is being performed!

That doesnt sound much? Think Globally – if one person makes impact that’s 9% worth – we would only need 11 people to HEAL THE ENTIRE WORLD TECHNOLOGICALLY.

I have been studying maths, physics, electronics, mechanics, mechatronics, manufacturing for last 11 years and have the necessary background to make my ideas (that would benefit all) to become a reality. I need YOUR support!

Why ? Becouse I’m stuck in an 8 to 6 job, that I can’t get out of – bills! I’m workin for a company that doesn’t appreciate my ideas – I’m just an employee for them! I have tried all the  business investor platforms – incubators, angels, etc., but as I have found – all they are interested in is making money – no matter out of what!  No matter, if the business is polluting our Earth or not. That’s a shame!

I have been investing all my earned money for last 10 years in prototyping of my inventions, while  working all the time for someone that doesn’t have the same VALUES as I have! Not even close! I don’t want to earn millions of whatever currency, I want this World to be a better place, so that EVERYONE, including me, could live HEALTHY, ‘CONSUME’ just what we REALLY NEED and feel/be COMPLETE! Many think that that’s just that easy, but sorry, if you don’t want to live in a cave like circumstances, you’ll have to INVEST – TIME, EFFORT, MONEY in our modern world assets, including technologies!

How high would you value an option to live more meaningfully – Live more Healthy – regarding everything – regarding how we THINK and how we ACT, including TECHNOLOGIES!

If YOU could support me, I could begin my journey of making this WORLD a better place! Becouse, I don’t see/feel that anybody’s who is coming from outside – the rich, governments, etc., is going to fulfill my passion – passion to make this World a better place – technologically – not to make ourselves to work for technologies, but to make technologies work for humankind!

With my technological research/inventions, I could lower GLOBAL energy consumption by 9 percent NEXT YEAR!

I need Your support to make my ideas benefit all!

Please, please, donate!

If U have any questions, suggestions or want discussion, advice/help in ANY life situation, please contact me

Left abusive home, relationship and workplace – need help to start over

Dear reader,

Thank you for taking time to read my story.

My name is Laura. I am a 20-something-year-old, with no family, no support and simply lost right now.

I need the sum of 5000 dollars, just to live in the next 2 months.

I need almost 30000 – to get out of debt.

I will be focusing on the smaller amount, of course, just to get me by.

I never had the courage to ask for money, as I never felt like I deserved it. However, a few days ago, an Uber driver offered me a free ride (it was pouring rain) and I accepted. They asked me about my life and encouraged me to get my story out, maybe start a blog – so, I’m trying. But I need help.

I was an abused and molested child. My cousins raped me when I was little. However, I still went to their house, because they were wealthy, and we had food over there. I accepted the sexual abuse, for food. My home… that’s a different story – my immediate family abused us (me and my little bro), beaten us to the pulp, destroyed us spiritually. My father is a savage alcoholic. He gambles and the only thing he taught me was: “You are only here to wipe my shit stains and bring me coffee. You are a whore. And you better learn how to steal.” – since I was 8, this was the speech that I was given almost everyday.

I finally abandoned that house, at 19 years old, when my father tried to throw me out the window for being inside the house at 8 pm. It was the first time I had fought back physically, and it was horrible. I managed to run past him, in my underwear in the middle of the city. My mum threw out the balcony some items for me. And I left, and I found these MLM people who promised me the world and promised me that if I worked hard enough, I will make it. Because I deserved it. I could get my mum and my brother and my granny out of that horrible place. Even though, they have all abused me. So, I invested – in a lie, a stupid horrible lie – and got myself in deals with loan sharks, sold and pawned almost everything I had. Just to built something out of myself. However, I was spending 500-600 dollars a month on rent, utilities, the office space, and I also had to take a second job in the office building as a cleaning lady. My debt was increasing. But that’s not all…

Unfortunately, stuff hit the fan… I found myself in an abusive relationship, and one of my co-workers was sexually assaulting me. No one did anything about it. They all said that it was clear that I enjoyed it – the first time it happened, most people in the office saw it. And I was crying, with my skirt torn and started puking. They still said it was on me. I couldn’t handle it anymore. And my then abusive boyfriend kicked me out.

I found myself on the streets and slept for a month, during cold fall, in parks, in the subway – in a new town 500 km from where I lived 20 something years of my life, washing myself in bathrooms and I finally became a Sales assistant, in a mall.

However, I found myself in the new capital with another bunch of abusive people.

While trying to find the cheapest place to rent, I found people who as my room-mates, stole money, my wallet, my clothing and left me hanging. The landlord couldn’t accept it and kicked me out.

And again and again. I finally made it, I had made enough money to share a flat, but with more money, and as awful as that sounds, I started getting out of that poor mentality and found some decent people.

I got myself into therapy (for 3 years and a half now), I found myself better and better jobs, until I managed to get a small internship at an IT company.

My latest ex-boyfriend is my now boss. He is tormenting me, giving me all the other tasks of my peers, while they go out and eat and celebrate and do nothing really. He has started to stalk me, has broken into my house when I was not there, has started following my friends. Calls me in the middle of the night, calls my apartment. According to our therapist, he is either a psychopath or a sociopath. I don’t know and I do not care. The police can’t do anything about it. My work place won’t do anything about it – cause I am too “sensitive”.

I lost my work place, as it’s no longer a healthy environment, as my boss is simply destroying all my projects and giving me the worst tasks, that aren’t even in my responsibilities. “You think you’re gonna find anything better? Stop whoring around and do your job. If you don’t like it, quit.” He has scammed me out of 2000 dollars.. Now, some of my friends have decided that this … is too weird for them, so they stopped calling, replying or anything. Because they were afraid. And they’re right. I mean, I”m afraid…

And now, I have to pay 500$ today, in order to keep my apartment. I have immediate debt at the bank – 500$ next month – cause I couldn’t pay it last month.

I postponed as much as I could, I offer my English skills to make some extra money, I sold again – almost everything that I have built. I am tired.

I am tired of working so hard for one decent good night sleep – no nightmares, no night sweats, no terrors (of dad raping mom, of me being raped, of the beatings etc…). I am tired of working so hard to afford food and decent clothes. I am tired of having to postponing my fucking foot fungus or other immediate medical needs, simply because I cannot afford it.

I am tired of fighting. I am so tired. I have been raped, abused, traumatised, left, cheated on, lied to and people have stole from me. And

I need help.

I can offer more details to anyone who is interested. Honestly, I hope that at some point, I will turn this into a successful blog – that will also serve as a new beginning for other people in my situation. I truly honestly hope that maybe someday, I will help someone exactly like me.

Any help is so much appreciate, you have no idea.

Also, I offer any kind of English support for smaller projects that you might need help with. For free, ofc.

May you have a great day! And thank you for reading this.

Please read….

I was a Homemaker, A great wife and a great Mother. I did all the old fashioned tasks like Baking, Sewing, Knitting, Cooking, Cleaning, School Runs etc. 9 years ago I left my husband, after almost 30 years of marriage, but only when I was certain my only daughter was safely away in college and not in need of me anymore. At that time I was heavily depressed which skewed my view on my marriage and caused me to make the wrong decision of leaving him and the family home. As a result my husband divorced me and both he and my daughter ostracised me and still to this day won’t communicate with me or help me in any way.

Shortly after my divorce, our family home was sold and I received half of the sale price, which was not very much as the country try was in deep recession and the housing market had dropped considerably. I still had enough to buy a very small apartment but unfortunately while I was looking for the right place, I met, what I thought at the time, a charming business man who offered me the opportunity of investing in various projects which would bring in more than I needed to buy a decent apartment, renew my medical insurance (which I had to forfeit with my divorce) and of course, run a car. For this I left my Country, temporarily but I never got to return. Needless to say, no business deals ever happened and this man cheated me out of every cent I had and when all my capitol was used up, abandoned me. Over the years I discovered that this man is a psychopath, others noticed it but unfortunately I didn’t, until it was too late.

So, here I am, left on my own in a foreign, hostile country with nothing. I don’t qualify for any kind of welfare and cannot visit the local hospital without paying a nominal fee up front. I have just turned 60 this year and with that am accumulating various ailments, thankfully most of them small but I still have to deal with anything on my own as I don’t have funds for doctors fees or any medication. Also 3 years ago I lost most of the sight in one of my eyes but luckily enough the eye, from an aesthetic point of view, still looks perfect. When given the opportunity I can still sew and do crafts using a desktop magnifying glass, so it hasn’t hindered my creativity. I used to be able to look after myself very well, always dressed well, had great teeth and hair but now everything has changed to the point that even some of my back teeth are breaking and causing a lot of pain but visiting a dentist isn’t possible and I don’t have money to buy pain killers.

I have a very small token income from my Ex which is not enough to pay rent and buy food. I no longer have a car or medical insurance. I have nothing, I own nothing. I have no assets. I don’t have any friends here as I don’t have the money to socialise anymore. Sometimes I don’t have money for food or it’s a choice between food or non-food items like toothpaste etc. Under my circumstances I cannot afford to leave the room I ‘exist’ in.

My Mother died 3 years ago with Alzheimer’s so fortunately she never knew what was happening all the time I was going through my divorce etc. I didn’t tell her as it wouldn’t have made any difference, possibly it would have upset her momentarily so there was no point. I think if she could see me now, she would turn in her grave and would not believe the conditions I’m living under, it would be too hard for her to conceive.

I am a real person, I’m not a bad person and I will still go out of my way to help anyone I see in trouble. I believe I can still be of use in this world. In the words of the Dalai Lama ‘if you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito’. but still my sense of despair overwhelms me each and every day. I sleep very badly but when I wake the gloom & doom of my existence weighs too much and my thoughts always turn to suicide. How will I do it? I don’t have the money for pills or alcohol, I throw up at the sight of blood and I know I would botch a hanging. Also, although I have an estranged daughter, she is my next of kin and would have to deal with my mess. I can’t do that to her. I love her so much and think about her all the time. As it is, I’m worried that when I die, she is going to have to take care of the funeral and she has enough financial worries of her own to think about.

Like I said, I am a real person, I’m sure there are lots of people out there looking for assistance all the time, some real and some not but if anyone wants to check me out, I will go to any lengths, of their choice, to prove that I am here and I am in this desperate situation. I hope somebody, somewhere reads this narrative and on a humanitarian basis helps me out. Any suggestions would be appreciated but obviously any funds would be greatly appreciated. I don’t mean to sound childish but ‘I just want to go home’ and start living again instead of barely existing like a caged animal in this lonely, hostile country. I have lost everything but I still have my dignity. Even if you are just reading this, I thank you.

BAD SITUATION

Good to all, it is not a good taste for me to be writing this, but the truth is that I am desperate to solve my situation as soon as possible … looking for how I could make money I found this website and I wanted to try my luck, although I understand that It should not be easy, at least I’m not used to being helped. But first I will tell you a bit about my situation, right now I am working, but my income is not enough to pay my debt, my mother has had to go abroad to take care of my brother and is not there to help me. And my father is an elderly person and he is retired. So I see myself with a job that he does not give me to pay for my expenses and a debt that I can never finish paying.

I live in Seville, Spain. I have 3 older dogs and I live alone, I like to go to the movies, to go for a walk, the sunsets, watch online series …
In summary this is a bit my life and my situation.
I hope someone understands me and can help me.

Thank you!

Help with rent

I am hard working but I did end up in a very bad situation.

I am supporting 5 kids and married since 7 years. I have the youngest child together with my husband. A few days ago my husband left me for another women and my life did fall down like a card house. I did discover that the rent was not paid in 2 months. Even if the contract is in my name he did have control about the money and manage the family economy. Instead of paying the bills he did send the money to her in Libya. I did take a mortgage in April on 150.000 for us to buy a home in his country but that money is also gone. If i will not pay the Bill on 25000 and another 12500 buy the end of this month i will end up on the street with my kids. I do also need help to pay the mortgage on 150.000 since it is impossible for me to raise that kind of money on my one. I go to work every day, I leave my youngest in kindergarden and pick her up every day. My husband did also work but he did stat home much. Now I know that he did stay in home to talk with her online. My husband did go out walking much with himself and I did trust him when he told me that he is out walking because he is stress about his family in Libya. It is war in Libya and I know it makes him worried about his mum since she still live there. I cannot Even explain how bad I feel and stupid when I found out he did plan to marry one in Libya behind me. One time when he did go out walk he forgot his phone in home. The phone was ringing. I did not recognize the number but did see it was Libyan. So I did answer and she was in the other end. She was swearing me. She told me that she will destroy my life. She told me that my husband only was with me because i help him. Even her older brother did speak with me and confirm that my husband was about to marry his sister. My husband did come home and I did fight with him about this. He was swearing me even in front of our child. She start to cry. Now she have nightmares.  I am in a very stress situation, my life is a total nightmare. My husband did not only go behind my back he did destroy my whole life.

THE CINDERELLA FAMILY – Broken by the work of an unheard inventor

Who I am and what I’m looking for

I am a 20 year old girl, taking my family’s situation in my own hands and begging for your financial support in order to help me, my younger sister and my parents, because our close family members are not able to, our friends and relatives don’t want to (because they are no longer patient), and for banks and public institutions, we don’t have enough guarantees.

Our story in one sentence

My father, a creative tinkerer and private technological inventor, didn’t manage to realize his remarkable projects, which brought our family on the edge of survival.

Our story in short

In order to realize his biggest dream of succeeding as a technological inventor and providing for his family, my father fell into danger and debt – and had to sustain the illusion of hope through secrecy and a web of lies, under which our family was brought to ruin, while he eventually collapsed when he recognized he was not going to make it.

This is when he left us as a homeless man, informing us, in a long email, of his impending death. Me, my mother and my sister saved him, but are left scarred with a tough past as well as being practically moneyless and desperate to get our life back together.

What we need: enough money

  • To barely survive as a family in our current location: food, water, electricity, hygiene, transport, school etc.

Plus eventually

  • To survive very modestly: repair (floor, doors and windows that do not fully close, oven, showerhead, tap, TV antenna…) and repurchase (basic car, laptop, washing machine, fridge, some clothing items…) broken items etc.

Approximately 50.000€ or 56.000$ would be of great help

Plus eventually

  • To repay most urgent debt (which is approximately 100.000€ or 112.000$)

Plus eventually

  • To repay less urgent debt (which is approximately 100.000€ or 112.000$)

Plus eventually

  • To relaunch the activity of started innovative projects by:
    • Perfecting some prototypes of the major and minor inventions, and eventually patenting them
    • Publishing another great discovery – a solution of the prime number enigma (not as a mathematical demonstration, but as a natural occurrence) which in itself has the potential to bring great success

A startup of approximately 200.000€ or 224.500$ would be of great help

If we happened to receive more (through donations and our own hard work), this is what we would be doing with it, beyond the expansion of my father’s works:

  • Moving to a place with more possibilities, where we can start from scratch
  • Improving our health and well-being
  • For my sister: financing university of Marketing (including university fees and expenses, as well as associated costs of living such as transport, apartment, food…)
  • For me: attending courses and starting a business of my own in order to become a natural therapist (including the means for promotion)
  • For our parents: future eldercare (as their pension is delayed)
  • Eventually, making personal dreams come true: personal development, small gifts to my mother for our recognition, sharing our story with and helping other people who are going through similar situations like ours

We are not up for further debt, as our experiences dictate that the risks outweigh the benefits in our situation.

Prior to telling you our sad story in all detail, this is a short description of who we are, so you get to know us better

My father: 

He is positive and brave, as well as cheerful, loquacious and likeable.

While this story speaks for itself and reveals most of his interests, he is also fascinated by classical music, history and culture, as well as chess, billiard and darts.

Whenever he is at home, he lends a hand to my mom to run the household in every imaginable way, especially through hard physical work, with the exception of taking care of clothing, which he knows close to nothing about. He is our home cook.

My mother:

She is down-to-earth, content, confident, eager to help and hopeful, as well as funny, serene and a cool mom, who has too big of a heart.

Reasonable and a focused and very precise worker, she likes painting, decorating and furnishing, and is often busy selling items online, as well as doing household tasks.

Travelling counts among the things she enjoys most, and her goal is to find peace, tranquility and security, together with her husband.

 

Me:

I am curious, ambitious, motivated, hard-working, determined, as well as polite, friendly, sunny, and a great listener.

I’m interested in human biology and psychology as well as healing, and enjoy reading and writing about the topic. I also love playing the piano, singing and chatting, drawing, dressing up and learning in general.

I am all for long walks in nature.

Patient, good at solving problems and coming up with creative solutions, my goal is to find happiness in aiding other people in a natural way, by teaching them how to heal themselves, and to build a calm and stable life.

 

My sister:

She is dynamic – relaxed, easy-going and fun, but also stubborn and reserved.

This girl is very smart and easily learns anything she sets her mind to.

She is interested in computer science and languages, of which she speaks 6.

As an animal lover and fan of movies and theatre, having a good time with and talking to friends is what makes her feel good.

Marketing and economics are in her blood, which is why her goal is to grow up to be an independent and influential woman, to work in the marketing sector and build a business of her own.

 

We live in the north-Italian mountains – cut off from the city, and speak German and Italian fluently, as well as English.

Take notice that this is a very wealthy quarter, which encompasses high living standards, but on the other hand also high costs of living.

 

The struggle of my family

Despite having always worked diligently hard and non-stop to exhaustion, yet in an allegedly smart, efficient and useful way, life has hit us very hard, as we are victims of never-ending complexly tough situations, which we had no other choice but to suffer through.

Casual bad luck, conducted mostly by senseless wickedness and villainy of mean and evil people, but also our own tenderness and well-meant altruism, have been the culprit.

Inadvertently lost, there have been a few factors we have just been intrinsically incapable and impotent to shelter from.

They endangered us in a way that, albeit reprieving us from permanent damage so far, has opened up the doors for that…

unless a drastic scene change takes place very soon.

In this case we are very motivated to harness our ace in the hole for our regeneration: to make a difference in the world through remarkable contributions and to guide people in situations similar to ours.

A recent, happy family moment: dad, me, mom, sister

You will find us and our business on most social media platforms and on our website, all under construction. We go by the name “The Cinderella Family” and also have our own hashtag #thecinderellafamily.

I want to help the world

Hello, I’m Arturo and I’m an amateur musician.

I think a lot about life and our situation, I’m always asking myself what am I doing here? Why are they doing this to me? Is this a dream? How do I wake up? Sometimes I just wonder if this is a test…

I used to think about committing suicide, and I still do, sometimes. But there’s only one thing that helps me keep going:

The dream of helping people.

I love helping people, I love being kind and I’d love to make the world a little bit better. There’s so much cruelty, so much ego and so much need of power, and that’s killing us literally, it’s destroying our only earth. It won’t dissapear, we will all die before corruption and human power ends, that’s crystal clear, it’s in our genes, but it can be reduced.

People is so blind nowadays, the media makes us think like they want us to think and religion keeps brainwashing people’s minds, countries make us think we are the good guys and our military are heroes for killing “enemies”, we are so cruel with animals, we mutilate animals alive, we cook animals alive, we let them bleed alive and those who weren’t born in a farm with another 10.000 animals and never saw the sunlight or touched grass, will die because they will loose their houses when we deforest the forests and jungles. And all the plastic? all we throw to our oceans and seas? everything we do, EVERYTHING we do, for money, it’s killing us slowly, humans ourselves, animals around, the water we drink, the ground we step on, and that’s just insane.

I just want to spread my word, talk to people, reach the world and show them a way of surviving this dying society and this dying world, I wanna spark the people and I wanna make changes, reduce contamination, I want to reunite our people and stay together against bad things, and slowly reduce them, together, that’s what we need, a leading voice.

I understand people and I know we all have problems and I can feel that and I can transmit that through my music, I can recreate a feeling in a song, I could feel deppressed and transmit that to a song without effort, crying rivers over my keyboard asking myself in a funny way, what the fuck? am I crying…? Yes, I was and people doesn’t know that, they just know what I’m transmitting in that song, you just listen to it and you feel it.

All I’m trying to do is express feelings in my music, reach people, teach people and become a voice to help our people and fight together.

I’m Spanish and English is not my first language so I’m so so so mad that I can’t express myself the same way I do it in Spanish, but still, I hope you all understood what’s my mission and what am I fighting for.

I need money to start buying music stuff; instruments, computers, headphones, microphones, and of course, a place to live in, but that’s not your concern, you won’t donate much, and I get it. I just guarantee that 100% of the money I get, is not going to drugs, leisure or other stuff, it will all be focused on my music production and the gear I can’t afford, like I can’t afford other things… but anyways, if you want to contact me to know more or have a conversation to share thoughts I share my e-mail and paypal.me:

https://paypal.me/arturooliva9

(You can ask me whatever you need to know this is 100% real and I’m not lying)

Thanks a lot, and remember that even if you could donate 0.10$/€ it will work for me, I’m not asking for big amounts of money, I just need help from the people to get little grains of sand and start building.

Thanks a lot.

Help to start over….

Hello people,

I’m Alex 27 years old. I live in a former soviet country Georgia, and believe me in my city if you not try hard to help yourself, the only thing you get is DEPRESSION. Yes, it is hard to live here and I tried hard but fortune didn’t favor me. It’s a long and bitter-sweet story but I’ll try to make it short…

I always loved Computers and spent much time sitting at PC since I was a child, always wanted to become a good programmer but I spent much time having fun and not taking time to learn programming. Finally, 3 years ago when everything was fine, I was getting good at programming and started looking for a job, bad things happened in my life.

I fell in love with a girl who has a little girl, that was the best thing in my life. We wanted to live together but our mothers were against us. We don’t have neither fathers nor siblings. Then I took an offer and started a job that later I realized I hated that job and then I was fool I started gambling thinking that I win enough money to live together with my love but everything went down…

Finally, we broke up, I left my job with my debts and fell in depression that I’m still in. Recently I met her and she’s in trouble too. I want to help her, help myself but it is beyond my possibilities. I can’t even start online fundraising campaign because my country is not supported. I have no one to ask for money, I have only mother and she’s paying credits to not lose our home. I’m just stuck in something I can’t explain, I don’t know what else to do, seems like it’s only me and my computer. I do want to do some things but I can’t. I feel I become mentally ill.

I’m a good person and I ask you good people if you have some extra dollars, send it to me please. I need 10,000$ to start over, pay my credits, get a tuition in IT Academy to become a Web-Developer, get my dream job. And may I get my love back…

In Dire Need of Therapy

Dear people of the world,

I’m a 25yo woman from Slovakia. I’m currently forced to take one more semester at uni because due to an administrative error I wasn’t allowed to take the state exams and finish my studies. I’ve been feeling very down because of it but this issue is just the tip of the iceberg.

From 8 to 14, I was bullied by the kids in my school. They frequently called me names, lied about me to the teachers, hid my stuff, threatened to beat me up after school and so on. Luckily, I only went through actual physical aggression from them once, but my encounters with them sparked social anxiety and lack of confidence. Thanks to much kinder people later in my life, I began to overcome these issues slowly but I’m nowhere near being fully functional.

This is also because of my greatest issue. My mom is an aggressive, manipulative, paranoid person. It runs in this side of the family, her mother was the same and from what I’ve heard, her grandmother also showed this traits. I’m very scared I might become like her too.

I’ve always suffered emotional neglect at home. My dad was always away, working really long hours or working abroad. My mom did try her hardest to provide all the material necessities for me but always found a way to make me feel guilty and not worth it. Even minor missteps have been met with inadequate rage sessions during which she’s been vulgar to me, has denied everything I say, twisted my words, made excuses for herself and downright refused to listen or acknowledge my worth in any way. She always blames others for the struggles in her life, isn’t capable of taking responsibility for her mistakes or apologizing. When my father occasionally tries to defend me, she takes it very personally and insists that a good father would do the opposite – defend her and punish me. Last year, she went so far to actually physically attack me while screaming she would kill me. Dad was there and restrained her from harming me but I swear I was scared for my life.

On top of that, 6 years ago she developed some kind of paranoid disorder. She believes that They are visiting our house, stealing things from her and misplacing them. These They also manipulate with strangers on the streets and in shops to say some specific words and to give my mom strange and knowing looks, all to mess with her and to ruin her life and career. Dad installed alarm system and strengthened the security of our house but that only led to making her convinced that it’s dad and I who do all the nasty things to her.

We are both very hopeless and stuck. Dad is burnt out from overwork and only surviving because of being deep in denial (he refuses to speak about divorce or a change of job). Neither of my parents trusts psychologists. Mom gets offended and enraged at the mention of the word. Dad insists that psychologists are no use in such complicated cases. They won’t help me in this regard.

I’ve tried a lot of self-help techniques like meditation, breathing exercises, journaling, physical exercise etc but one can only get so far without the help of a professional. I need therapy. I feel desperate, depressed and traumatized. I have troubles with anxiety, I lack confidence, I’m a huge people-pleaser and I fear conflict. I internalize all my negative emotions, fearing that if I show them to others, they will stop being my friends. As a result, I developed a psycho-somatic response to stress and pain – my stomach often stops being capable of digesting food. I would never throw up or starve myself willingly, but often I have to starve because my stomach just doesn’t work properly. A lot of the time I am unable to focus properly, I’m tired, unmotivated and weak.

Can you please help me with financing my therapy? A 100 dollars would help me cover approx. three therapy sessions. Of course, I would also be very thankful for much smaller acts of kindness.

Living a calmer life (a family of 3)

Hello and thank you for reading our story.
We are a family of 3. My husband (36), our daughter (2,5) and me (38). We live in quite an expensive place – Prague, Czech Republic. I am on parental leave and my husband is a photographer. First of all I have to say I am very grateful for all we have, especially for our family, health, relationships, opportunities, living environment… And a part of me is really not quite convinced I should be asking for anything. The thing is, our reserves are getting smaller, as my husband had a tougher time in his business lately. He is a very good guy, modest, warm, sympathetic, open to learning new things, delivers 130% of what he is expected and his photos and workshops are great. We have a mortgage to pay (until we are 60yo), our car broke down several times in the last year, and we had to cover the winter months, when there was very little business for my husband, as well as a mandatory repair of a dangerous old balcony. Slowly the reserves shrank to the point, where it would be really threatening to us to have to touch it another time. I feel we are kind of stuck at the moment. Sometimes I complain my husband doesn’t spend much time with our daughter and I feel exhausted. And then I see how exhausted he is feeling with all that pressure that he puts on himself having to provide for all the three of us. Working late, thinking of new ways to bring money. He comes up with a lot ideas of how to widen his portfolio. We are both very sensitive people not wanting to cause any discomfort to each other / anyone. It hurts me seeing my husband so stressed out and I am worried about him as well as getting stressed out too. Although maybe not that good at selling his abilities, my husband has a job he has dreamed of since about the age of 18. I wish I could help him and also help us as a family live a calmer life, spend more time together, enjoy the family moments that will never come back. Maybe even enjoy a little holiday and get some rest. We would very much like to have a second child. It took over 3 years for our daughter to “come to us”, involving several miscarriages, and God knows, how long it will take this time. Planning ahead isn’t easy in these kinds of situations.
We tend to live very reasonably — buy mostly fresh food and prepare everything from scratch, cook the same food for more days, buy hardly any cosmetic products, use public transport as often as possible, buy preowned clothes, goods and child equipment. We visit the library instead of buying new books. We sell / swap / give redundant things instead of throwing them away. We don’t take our daughter to paid fun parks and similar places, don’t pay for any courses, rather we go out in nature, socialize her with similar aged friends. We care for the environment and avoid buying single use stuff, try to think ahead and contribute a little towards environment protection by caring for the insect, birds, trees.
I know I could go back to work. And it might help. But I feel our daughter still needs me and I value the relationship I have with her very much. It may seem weird, but she is still partially breast-fed and many people compliment her personality and speaking skills. Working and caring for her simultaneously might bring me closer to a burn-out I have once experienced in the past. It took me months to recover. Besides, there are not many “returning mom” jobs that would pay enough to cover kindergarten costs as well as improve our situation. We do have both our families living in the same city, so moving further to a cheaper region would not help much, as our parents are in their late 60’s now and we want to stay close. It might also cause another business struggle and involve further costs.
I feel ashamed to ask for help – especially when we are not in a deep crisis as such. But then I think – maybe there’s someone out there, who doesn’t mind or even likes helping and it can help us live a calmer life.
Thank you for reading the lengthy story and if you somehow relate to our situation, views or dreams, please consider helping:
Thank you a thousand times!

Desserts Shop in UK is waiting to open!!

My talent is making sweets and desserts, and I had been working as a pastry chef for years. I love making healthy versions of traditional sweets, and adding supperfoods to make them nutritious and turn them into energy boosts. I am told that I am very good at that, and I think so too.

My life dream is to open my own desserts shop in the UK, and for that reason I was saving my money since I was 24 years old – now I am 40. This means no travelling, no shopping- except all strictly necessary, and going out once in a blue moon. Because of that, I have very few friends, but I know they are true friends.

Last year, I believed that my life dream will come true, as the money I had managed to save, along with a plot of land I had sold, was almost 37000 euros (in euros, because I live in Greece), which was enough to feel secure in order to quit my lousy 12hour shift for 400euro-a-month job and finally follow my dream. It would be enough for renting a place, setting it up, and having my first expenses covered until I could live off of my shop.  This money was raised with many difficulties, as there were several times that I helped friends in need, serious family problems that needed attending, and two occasions that I had lost my job and needed to live off of that money.

Unfortunately, my father’s debt, that I had been paying for years myself and thought that it was over, reached my bank account without any notice, and I realized it when I logged in to pay for a ticket to Manchester. I was so surprised to see that the Greek government took around 30000 euros from my account, because I was an immediate relative of the person that took a loan many years ago, in other words I had inherited debt but didn’t know. As much as I tried to claim my money back, I couldn’t. Since last year, I have spent all the rest of the money I had left, on laywer fees and food, and I borrowed some money from my good friends. I let my flat, as I couldn’t afford it, and live in a friend’s backup room in his store.  I have sold my car, my laptop, my mobile phone, I have given away almost all of my clothes and shoes and stuff, and my personal belongings now fit in a small suitcase.

I don’t see a way of being able to stand on my own feet again, I have tried to get a job but I don’t get hired because of my age and accommodation status. I live in a small town, and everyone knows I quit my last job in a not-so-nice way, as I announced my resignation to my boss in front of his best clients, along  with the reasons for that, especially the fact that he was calling me ‘stupid’, and ‘useless’ all the time, even though I was doing all the work. I now make around 120 euros per month, running errands and being the extra help for a catering service, where I work for 4 euros per hour, every time they need me. Sometimes, like now, I use a friend’s computer to look for a job, but she needs it for work at the times that I can use it.

I don’t smoke, I don’t drink alcohol,  I don’t take drugs, I don’t gamble, I have never done anything illegal or had problems with the law. I am a very religious person and I have never harmed anyone. What I wanted was to leave behind my family’s reputation and live in a place where they would only see me and my talent.

What I need is money to stand on my feet, and I would also like to be able to open my shop. I tried to ask for a 20000 euro loan, and less, but I own nothing and I have no job, so I was refused. My friends have their own personal problems, and they are already helping me as much as they can, so I would never expect anything more from them anyway.

The only thing I have left to do, is to beg, so I am begging for your help. And this is not easy for me, even though I do it anonymously. Just please, if you think you can send money to me, I would really like to know who you are or where you would like me to send this money to, when I am able to do so, because I would like to give it back. It makes me very uneasy to be in here and ask for help among other people with serious health problems,and please, help them first, but I know that my shop will rock, so I will be able to give the money back.

If you read this far, Thank you so much for taking the time. I have been preparing the text by hand for a week before typing it here, so thank you for at least reading this. Either you can help me or not, I hope I can serve you my famous honey puffs one day :)

Help me make a change in my country

Before I start, I would like to thank you for taking your time to read this!

WHY I NEED YOUR HELP :

– In Bulgaria pensioners who have worked their whole life(including retired soldiers) get 90 Euros per month pension… That is NOT enough to either pay their medical bills(YES, medical treatment is NOT free), nor they can eat normally. And rent costs around 200 Euros!!!

– I’ve moved to Germany to work and save money for my dream. 50 000 Euros will help me to start in 2-3 months of time! My end goal is to have 200 000 Euros, but  to start I just need 50 000. I will get 75 000 by myself and take a loan for the rest of the 75 000. As of now I am working between 65-70 hours a week…

WHAT IS MY DREAM :

Buy real estate, rent it, collect the money AND help Bulgarian pensioners pay their bills and if my campaign grows large enough – help people get education at language courses, financial seminars, etc…

WHAT WILL THE ADDITIONAL MONEY BE USED FOR :

1) First priority(first stage) is helping Bulgarian pensioners financially. They tend to use and stay for hours in public transportation(buses, trams, etc) so they don’t have to pay electrical bills during Winter.

2) Second priority(second stage) is to finance the education of Bulgarian people. Most of Bulgaria’s youth doesn’t have enough money to be able to pay for additional courses. That could be programming or language courses. As I was in 9th grade I wanted to learn Russian and German. But I couldn’t, because my mom couldn’t finance the courses.passfoto.jpg

3) Third priority(third stage) is once my campaign gets popularity to invite popular entrepreneurs to Bulgaria so they can speak in front of audiences. Bulgaria needs this motivation so badly like no other country does. We need more jobs that pay more than 2-2,5 Euros per hour. We need jobs that help us live a comfortable life. And that is a way to inspire a young generation.

WHAT I HOPE FOR :

I hope that with my actions I will be able to get some of the attention of the media and make my idea popular. That way I will be able to get additional financing so we can be able to rebuild Bulgaria from its core – the education that people get and take care of the ones who have already done their part for the country. After I manage to that, the idea will grow outside of Bulgaria’s boarders and will get to other countries that are in a dire need of help.

Either way if you decide to donate me money or not – I want to thank you for reading this! I am a 20 year old boy with big dreams and I hope that you will decide to support me so I can start walking the path towards my dreams. I know that it is a lot of money to ask for in any country… But it is all I need to start a change in my country. Please help me start this long awaited change(since 1989 to be exact). Thank you in advance!

Got robbed yesterday, lost all of the money that I have, poor senior university student from Serbia

Hello kind people.

I am a broke student from Serbia studying life sciences and stem field research in the capital city of Belgrade. I am on my last year at the moment and I am really struggling to pay for rent and food…( I a variety of jobs to earn some cash like working shifts in a hostel and in a bar near me,cleaning the dishes, on weekends I do odd jobs on a site here in serbia if I get enough free time for it). And these jobs and jobs in general in Serbia don’t pay well…

My family doesn’t talk to me at all because of our differing beliefs and they have rejected me around 3 yrs ago…

My college tuitions are free though, because in Serbia if you perform well enough in your studies the college is free, except food and housing.

I got robbed yesterday after I was picking up money from the ATM machine (I keep all of my extra earned cash in the bank so I don’t lose it or get robbed…) But as you see that wasn’t the case this time…And it happened during daytime, around 5pm at knife point. I earn roughly 200 to 250 USD (converted from Serbian dinars) doing these jobs monthly and my rent costs 100 USD. I don’t eat a lot of meat, very rarely, so I use around 100 USD monthly also to get cheaper food.

I explained to my landlord what had happened and he told me that regarding this month I can pay the rent during the next 3 months in smaller 33 USD payments.

For now I just need something to eat and to get me by…I have about 10 euros in cash left and i will use them for some basic food ingredients I guess. Any amount of a donation would help…5…10…Idk. Just anything so I can atleast eat normaly and study during this exam month.

I just want to survive these college days and one day move out of here and make a life of myself because Serbia is declining really fast economicaly and has been declining for decades now…

Thanks for hearing me out.

A new start – Help me get my family back

I am John from Greece, 42 years old married with a child. For the last 15 years i was working as a computer programmer. Since i remember myself i was always stressed. Had lots of family issues with my parents being at war all the time. I was the best student in my class. I have graduated with distinction from university with a BSc In IT and Computing. I have worked since then as an ERP consultant/Programmer. Unfortunately after having my kid my stress levels went skyhigh. I was not very competent in my work then. Someone offered me some hard drugs (heroine). It was a revelation for me then. All my anxiety has gone. I had lots of motivation and found meaning in everything. I was great at my job. These came first. After some years i only got to cope with it. I was sick if i did not have my fix, i began changing jobs, my family learned all about and kicked me out. My relationship with my wife is broken. I have reached the bottom of the barrel. Finally after many years i took the big step. Started psychotherapy and ended my drug abuse. The most difficult thing of all is that i could not feel happy again. Everything that i used to love was dull and uninteresting. It took me almost 2 years to feel normal. I have started to show a clean face to my family and friends and parents. The thing is i have created many debts and even though i am a new man i have these all burdens on me. I wish i could repay all these so that i could offer to my wife and daughter what i took from them. I wish i had a second chance. I have a job now but i live paycheck to paycheck and its a struggle because my anxiety still exists. I fear that i m going to break. If any of these touches you please help me and if i can i promise i will give everything back some dayUntitled.jpg. Anyway thank you very much for your time and i wish you the best from my heart. paypal.me/ykorom

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

paypal.me/rforrichard

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.

CupcakeYXJ600sm.png

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…

Regards,

V.

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.

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.

  1. 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
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
