Hello, my name is Ivan, i’m 24 years old and i’m from Argentina. I’m currently living with my girlfriend and her parents at their house.

Before everything else, i want to clarify that English is not my native tongue and, though i have learned a lot on how to not talk and write like a caveman, it might still happen. So, here our story…

The last year was rough for everyone, and we weren’t exempt of that. Disease attacked our planet, our people, our lives as we knew so far. Hardly i can say our live was difficult before the pandemy. We were living together with Antonella in a family borrowed apartment in La Plata, i had a decent job (boring and uninspiring, but good enough to survive), she was (and still is able to, luckily :D) studying for kindergarten teacher. Somewhat a common life, not huge struggles besides not having some kind of plan for the future, not knowing what we were doing with our limited time in this world (you know, the everyday challenge for everyone) and the occasional depression and anxiety that, until March 2020, I thought was common for everyone.

Then, Covid-19 appeared in scene.

We didn’t know what we were dealing with. Thought that it was just some months alone, away from our family, working and studying from home, didn’t seem so hard. But it takes a little shake of the so called “comfort zone” to bring to the surface the hidden chaos our minds seals.

It took one month and a half for depression to reach its peak. It wasn’t unknown for me, but this time it was different. It slowly creeped all over me and my body stopped responding.

I wasn’t able to work, i wasn’t able to grief alone, i wasn’t even able to get out of the bed. My mind was a concert of incoherent thoughts and incomprehensible angst. This, summed up to my boss cutting my salary (you know, capitalism and mental health don’t go along) lead to my first panic attack. The first signal that something in my life had to change.

It’s hard to tell exactly how it feels. It mixes the fear of not being able to deal with your life, the anxiety that calls a forceless body into action, the air that starts to scarce in your lungs and a desire for everything to end in that exact moment.

My mother and my girlfriend convinced me to start seeing a psychiatrist. This was the first step of a long road of recovery. A slow and strenuous work that revealed that depression was a part of my life for way longer than i realized.

—

I’m still writing this part. If you read this far, thank you. I really appreciate it. Just sharing this story it’s a giant step toward healing and wellbeing.

Soon i will upload some images to share with everyone so you will get to know Antonella, my loving girlfriend and Ofelia and Bartolo, my two adorable animal companions in this journey.

—

I created this crowdfunding campaign to appeal to worldwide solidarity. We are trying to start again in our home city. The plan was to come back, get a job, start some kind of business and find somewhere to live.

As always, the plan never go as planned. Getting a job in this country was hard even before the pandemy and starting a business requires investing what little we had left (We did it tough, but it will take time). Also, we have a lot of medical bills, credit card debt, a loan to pay (we used the money to start @IlustreLimpieza, a local cleaning articles business) and a baggage of uncertainties. We need to make some money to pay our debts and keep the new business running.

As well, i’d love to continue my healing process with my therapist. Even with the medication, the support of my relatives and a fresh view of life, the desolation still roams not far off. Along with the psychiatrist, the psychologist is a fundamental stone of every recovery process.

Thankfully, we both have a really supporting family that wouldn’t let us homeless. They’re making a huge effort to help us, to give us everyday a food plate, a bed and a lot of love.

And now, ¿what?.

Well, it’s time to reconstruct our lives, to care for our family and to seek new horizons. Personally, although we had hard times, hope arises. Because after depression, things might seem hard and intimidating, but are possible. And we, together, want to make them possible.

We want to really thank you for reading and, if you are going through a similar process or, at least, something of what you read seems familiar, ask for help, tell your relatives, open to the journey to a new life. Yes, it’s scary and it’s painful. Yes, it’s gratifying and comforting. It’s a road to self knowledge that seems unreal even while it’s happening.

It’s never too late to heal and start living.

With love, Ivan.

Debt Consolidation

Hello all. I’ve fallen on hard times and I’m reaching out to the public for financial assistance. I am usually one to help out those as best as I can, whether food stuff, monetary or just emotionally, and now I’m asking for help. I have 2 children under the age of 12, and their dad and I are currently going through a custody battle. I work full-time but due to a recent falling out with family, I moved from them and I’m on my own renting, hence my falling on hard times as this is the first time I’m out in the world renting. Before moving, I had a few outstanding bills I tried to pay off, by getting paid for my vacation days instead of taking them, but since I have no more vacation days left, I’m unable to obtain more money. Also, I’ve worked 9 days in February because our island experienced another lockdown due to the rise in covid19 cases, impacting my monthly pay and my ability to pay towards my debt. My debt came about due to the first lockdown in April 2020 until work resumed May 4, then I was put on a 2 week on, 2 week off rotation from my job, which made it more difficult financially. Yes I’ve reached out the the children’s dad for help as he was an essential worker and had his job during the pandemic, but because we broke up in 2018, he hasn’t really helped financially, although he was the cause of the original debt, that was somewhat manageable before covid19. (We were living together and he was to pay the bills and I would help buy food, but after breaking up, I realized at least 2 utility bills were not paid for since Dec 2017… we broke up March 2018, so I had to use my savings to pay these, plus buy food and run the house on a single income) I’m currently still employed full-time, but because of February 2021 lack of income, I’m now in a financial threat from 2 of my debtors, and also need to pay the utilities and rent for April 2021, due by April 9. The banks here are in no position to help consolidate as they have told me my DSR isn’t allowing them to approve my application. (Which I don’t understand because if they loan the money to pay off the debt, I’ll have more money in my hand when the month comes so I’ll be able to make all necessary payments) I have received food packages and unemployment from the 2020 lockdown and rotation duration (Government assistance) which I’m extremely grateful for, however, the need for the monetary assistance is to get on top of my debt and restart my savings, so I can in turn donate to someone in need, because the unemployment benefit wasn’t near what I usually make. Thank you for your consideration in this matter, and have a great day to all.

Coronavirus took my aunt and gave me three different illnesses, can’t work anymore, close to no money and homelessness, I need your help!

Hi! my name is Josh,

I’m sorry that it’s a long read, here’s a summary so I may not take too much of your time, the more detailed version will go after this, photos will be at the end:

-I was diagnosed with colon inflammation and kidney stones after 3 days of burning pain. Prior to this I never had medical problems.

-My aunt died to coronavirus the very same day I got diagnosed, we lived together.

-The virus was already inside the house, my other aunt, cousin and I tested positive for Coronavirus in the following week, I was still recovering from the stones and colon while I got the Corona symptoms.

-The very next month after Corona, I developed a constant ringing in my ears similar to tinnitus if it’s not tinnitus itself (which has lasted for almost 6 months until and I still have it), I however do not have ear damage to justify tinnitus. I developed a skin disease in my chest as well (still have it). The were no medical reasons found other than Corona, I never had any medical problems until Corona.

-Due to Corona I got joint weakness which developed into tendonitis in hands, feet, and the rest of my joints.

-Can’t work due to tendonitis, can’t pay for treatment anymore, the money I had saved I expend in appointments, medicine, medical tests, treatment, therapy. I ran out of money, then my mother helped me paying from that point on, and we are almost out of money. We have about less than 150 dollars between the two of us.

-The house I live in will be sold to pay inheritance to distant family, this event started with the passing of my aunt, we will have to find somewhere else to live when that happens, and I don’t have money for that.

-I currently have a skin disease, ringing in my ears and arms and legs tendonitis.

-Treatment is helping me, but I ran out of money, to the point that I have to live with my skin disease and ringing ears until I can solve the tendonitis so that I might get to work again so that I may pay my medical and living expenses.

-Writing this message with pain and tendon stiffness from an almost broken laptop.

-Really really sorry to ask, but I had very bad luck and I need your help. I thank you very much and wish you and your loved ones the best of luck in this pandemic, whether or not you can help me.

This is the long version:

In July 20th 2020 (still in quarantine), after three days of pain and nights of barely sleeping because of the burning pain in my lower back, I was diagnosed with colon inflammation and kidney stones, the stones were big enough that they could still be treated without surgery, I took this as a blessing (I had no money for surgery, let alone my family), I was told to follow the treatment and avoid stress, because that would make things worse…

In that same day, right after returning home to begin my treatment, we (my brother and aunt M) noticed that my aunt C had been missing for that day. She had a little cold two days before but got better the very next day in which I noticed she wasn’t sneezing anymore and her voice was clear, I was relieved that she was better. That morning was the last time I got to talk to her, the last thing I got to ask her was if she was feeling better.

Back to the day of my diagnosis and when she was missing: Her door was locked, no answer from knocking it, and her phone would not ring from the inside when we tried calling her, she never turns her phone off, so we assumed she was out somewhere. Later that day, aunt M opened the locked door with a spare key out of worry, and she found her. My Aunt C had died in her bed during the night to Coronavirus, I rushed into the room immediately. It was so painful to see her like that, we couldn’t believe it, and yet, we had to evacuate the room due to the virus. And had to keep it locked until authorities would come to inspect her. We couldn’t eat due to the shock, we also had to rush and sterilize the house, we didn’t had access to the kitchen because of we had to clean everything for safety and we had to wait until the house had been sterilized. We were struggling so much in the first days from her death, all the while I was also feeling the burning pain from the stones and colon.

Days later we found out from my now deceased aunt’s close friends that she had developed pulmonary fibrosis, which she kept secret, like she did with many things (this happened when she was living abroad), we believe she didn’t want us to get worried or to infect us, so she kept it secret from us, she locked herself up in her room and tried to cure herself but she couldn’t. The virus is known to be especially lethal to people who already have fibrosis. She was one of the bravest persons I ever meet and we miss her a lot.

From July 21 to September 1st: Our personal and mandated quarantine started, time in which stress due to everything that had just happened turned my colon and kidneys situation into a most physically painful experience. We tested positive, and from Corona I got light but constant headaches,4 days of stinging breathing pain, and constant tiredness, but fear to sleep when I wasn’t exhausted for not sleeping, as I had seen what happened to my aunt C and kept the trauma. The good thing was that aunt M and cousin had very light or almost no symptoms. During this month I somehow recovered from the kidneys and colon situation.

In the first days of September and close to my birthday I developed a ringing sound in my ears, it’s very much like tinnitus, except when I was checked I didn’t have ear tissue damage, so Corona is to blame somehow. Despite the month of medicine that I was made to use to combat it, I still have this ringing sound in my ears to this day, just half as bad as when it begun, I should get checked again, but now I have no money and a worse medical problem.

In September 19th, I developed cubital tunnel syndrome, which went away in a month, but would come back, it did not go away completely until I started taking vitamin B shots and pills, doctor’s orders, at times I still get it briefly after sleeping, rarely, sometimes I get the carpal tunnel symptoms when I extend my arm and until I stop doing it. But I can deal with this, this is not the worst of my problems.

Around October 18th started the reason I’m here begging for help, somehow, I developed weakness in all joints, worse in hands and feet but my other joints would also make popping sounds, the tendons would get whenever I’d do anything as simple as clicking with a mouse, typing, brushing my teeth, open a water tap, or anything that involved using my hands or arms. This would make my tendons swollen and pop very noticeably under my skin, after that, using them would make me feel a burning sensation in all the tendons involved.

All of this made me develop strong tendonitis in both hands and feet, now I was unable to work, run, or do anything with my hands except for simple tasks, any repetition of these would make the stiffness and pain in my tendons worse.

At the same time, a sort of rash started developing in my chest, which since then has extended a great deal, still in my chest however, and I can’t no longer afford to get it checked, but tendonitis is my priority.

Thanks to Corona, hospitals and clinics are crowded and dangerous places where one can get infected again, so things would move way slower in these times while at these places. This didn’t make it any easier to get the appointments that I needed before things would get worse, many times I had to wait weeks for an appointment, despite my joints already being impossible to work with.

And with my aunt’s passing, now the home I always lived in, will have to be sold to pay off her distant sister by inheritance, we are forced to do this legally. It will be a matter of months but I’m not in any shape now to move, or pay moving or for whatever people are charging out there for rent in this pandemic. But this I’ll deal with myself, I need to get healthy again so that I may work again and face all these things.

Those days everything in my life was getting worse by the day, disease after disease, not knowing if the next day will be worse, but it most certainly was, there was always something bad on the horizon, and yet, still here, I’m still willing to recover, to get my life back.

Treatment, multiple appointments, medicine, tests and scans, have drained the money I had that I could have used to last this quarantine, so my mother stepped in and helped me paying when I had no more money, but now she’s is also almost out of money as well, we have a combined sum of less than 150 dollars to our names.

I still need therapy, and can’t really pay for it, still can’t get a job due to tendonitis, my family has done everything they could to help me, but they also have families to take care of, and money is scarce.

I had plans for my life before but Corona, now it’s all gone, my aunt is gone, so is my health and money, all I’ve got left is my struggling beloved family and my will to live and get through this, if I didn’t have this my health would be a million times worse I know.

But I still have hope, therapy has helped me, I can already feel the stiffness and pain going away, even tho therapy is far from over. It took me many days to be able to write this, as I feel the stiffness coming back, but I need help and this is my only choice so I will endure it.

I’m really sorry that I have to ask you, but sadly, I need your help. I thank you very much if you manage to help me, and if you don’t, I thank you for reading my situation, please take care, as in, don’t get what I got, please.

I hope you can help me, thank you.

Need to clear my financial debts in order to have stability for my family to provide for their needs

Good day, I have made a lot of bad financial decisions in the past, I have often placed others financial situation before mine, giving them money to their bills and financial needs. I have lost money as well trying to donate to other personnel’s business ideas as well as the bank’s investments scheme along with other quick flip investment strategies available.

Every month I would say, let me get it taken care of next month, then something else comes along, then I say next month again or the next. Which then leads to various loans and credit card debts pilling up more and more over the years.

I have always been kind to others, making myself uncomfortable for others to feel comfortable over the years ensuring their utility bills are cleared, have groceries and more however what I wasn’t doing for all these years was budgeting and actually sticking to an actual budget.

Now in the last year I actual budget and try to stick to the budget, which is good for me, however all I have done over the years has finally caught up with me and at this point I have to realize that I need help to set myself right and free from the financial burden I have placed myself into.

Currently it has been a struggle to clear my loans and credit card debt. I have racked up a credit card bill of over $450,000 (local currency) which is a struggle to try and pay off as the months go by as the interest adds on. Two loans also hang over my head with both at $100,000 (local currency). The most recent one was taken to try offset some challenges I been having with my household and vehicle, which is when I decided that enough is enough and help is needed.

I just need to clear these burdens so I can set my life right with my family and start working my way to financial stability. I have always helped persons around me no matter my circumstances and I have refused help in the past to say “I will figure it out” but now I realize that I can’t do this alone. I just need help to clear my financial debts and I promise to strive for financial stability while taking care of my family’s needs.

Trying to do this on my own has been hard and has taken a toll on my mentally as well, while still putting a smile on each day trying to make others laugh and giving them love and care as I normally do but it still looms burdening me

My country’s currency is currently 1 USD to $148, I know it may not be the amount request but $5000 USD would certainly clear the debts and allow me to drive towards financial stability

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

Kira needs eye operation

I’m Alison and I’m 20 years old, my little dog Kira is an Shar pei of 4 months. She has a medical condition called entropion, this makes that her eyelashes have contact with her eye so it gets irritated and it’s really dangerous to her.

I need to pay an eye operation but it’s very costly and I don’t have too much money. So that’s why I’m asking your help so I can give Kira a better quality of life. She can’t open her eye most of the time and she feels very uncomfortable with the eyelashes touching her eye.

I don’t want her to suffer more so I really need to make the operation.

I would really appreciate if you can help me in this operation to give a better life to my previous Kira

My bills will ruin our lives

Unfortunately, I am desperate to fix my situation. My name is Gonzalo, I am 29 years old. Looking for how to solve my problem I found this site, I can not know for sure it will work. I don’t lose anything by trying. First of all, I want to apologize for my English, I am very nervous about writing this. Since the middle of last year, my partner had to leave her job due to a situation of harassment from her superiors. She had gotten a job, but it wasn’t enough money and it was until December; for the next 5 months he could not be able to collect a salary. I did everything I could and needed to ask for loans and help from my mother who is the only person in our family who is willing to help. It was not enough, I could not do anything to remedy it, and I had to lie to her saying that we were going to be able, while I cried every month, every time I received my salary. My fear was because the work harassment episode almost led her to suicide (we can’t pay for her medication yet) and I didn’t want her to worry and something similar would happen to her, it was a big mistake I made. It turned into a vicious circle that the only thing I did was do us more damage. But now the moment has come when I can’t take it anymore. It is possible that in your country it is not much to sound something of life or death, but in mine it is, what I am asking is 10,000 dollars. I am very ashamed to do it, and I would not know how to thank you for helping me. Lenders cut my salary close to 75% and I receive only $ 150. I ask you to please, it can be less money, anything helps me. We have been living together for 3 years, things were going well, we need this push so we can continue our life together with our 3 kittens and if we stay on the street I don’t have where they can stay, we will have to give them up for adoption and it will break our heart :(

I leave the link here so that you can donate to me, as I said it can be any amount, whatever you can. If you can’t like me right now thanks for reading.

Seeking $500 USD loan to cover my basic living expenses for December and January

Hi there. This is Jack here. I am unemployed due to the pandemic and have been unable to find consistent, reliable, income-producing work anywhere. I graduated college earlier this year, and was meant to work abroad in San Francisco this summer on a J-1 work and travel visa. Unfortunately, the lockdown thwarted this plan. I am seeking a $500 USD loan, which I will pay back once I start producing cashflow for myself again.

I have been searching for remote jobs relentlessly, hearing back from very few companies and getting a phone interview with just one, which was unsuccessful. Then I resorted to freelancing. I have found some online work as a freelance editor and proofreader via Upwork and Facebook, but these gigs are poorly paid and I rarely get hired. I applied for a lot of Upwork positions I was very qualified for and heard nothing back from most hiring managers. On Facebook, I advertise my services in various writing and editing groups. I reach out to people, and many times they reach out to me. They express an interest in working with me, then they suddenly go completely cold. It’s extremely frustrating. I have also done some usability testing with UserTesting. They pay 10$ USD for a 20 minute testing session. That said, I’m lucky if I get accepted for one test per week, as you have to qualify for the test before you can take it.

I have rent covered until 31 December but I used the remnants of my savings to cover it. My cash situation is dire right now. I’m down to 270 Mexican pesos in cash at present (about $14 USD). My bank balance is €0.52 (I have attached a photo of this).

I’m Irish but moved to Mexico in October to pursue a real estate career. I am working in a real estate agency as a junior sales agent. This role is 100% commission based and I have not closed a deal yet. It’s tough because the job is demanding and I am not getting regular income from it. As I said, I’ve got no income at all yet. I’m willing to push through though because real estate is my passion and I don’t quit. I just need a loan to cover my essential living expenses for December and January. $500 USD will do just that.

I have been living extremely frugally since I got here. I’m not eating enough and have lost a lot of weight (my diet consists almost solely of pastries and a few small street tacos, as they are the cheapest foods here). It is getting harder to go out and try to earn as I am becoming increasingly malnourished.

My situation is getting really hard to be frank with you. It’s a fiasco. My family was hit hard by this pandemic and they are unable to help me out. My mental heath is starting to suffer because I have absolutely no idea where my next income source will come from, how much it will be or when it will be. I don’t like saying all of this but I am in desperate need of a loan. I would be massively, massively grateful beyond words if anyone could help me out. I will continue to grind, level up and look for income, but my environment is turning destitute. Please give me a hand — you’d be getting me out of a real big bind. As I said, when I start earning, you will get your $500 USD back.

Best wishes,

Jack

I want to be by my boyfriend’s side

Hello everyone, my name is Nicole and this is my story.

I’m from Lima, Peru. I started to study dentistry at university in 2018, and there I met Adriano. We became best friends really fast and we ended up falling in love. Adriano is originally from Italy, and he came to Peru for his education. We had to pass through a lot of stuff together. Even my parents tried to keep me away from him by practically taking my freedom away from me. He went back to Italy after we kinda fixed things. And we are really sad because we are too far away from each other and I don’t want to see him again in June.

You don’t know how much I love this boy. I truly want to marry him because we are made for each other. When my parents locked me down in my own house (well, Covid purposes too), they took my phone, social media and all types of communication away from me. I couldn’t talk to my friends and Adriano for months. For 4 months aprox. It was a torture for both of us. We didn’t know anything about the other and that was killing us. I tried to convince my parents that he was a good person, that people change, but they were really stubborn and never wanted to support me. So, I decided to leave. Yeah… I escaped. I lived for 2 weeks with Adriano. My parents were absolutely terrified and even seeked for the police’s help. Of course I wanted to return back home, but I wanted to be listened and understood. I wanted more freedom because they treated me like a baby. When I finally went back home, I talked to them about the fact that I am big enough to decide what’s best for me, and that they can’t help me in avoiding bad situations of life.

Adriano and I had two months of happiness (with a lot of restrictions due to Covid), but he had to leave Peru and return to Italy. He left a month and a half ago, and I miss him as hell. You have no idea. So many time apart and now that we finally can be together… He’s gone.

So I know is hard but I want your help, guys. I need $5000 dollars to afford a one-month trip to Italy in February. That will help me for the tickets, food, and everything I’ll need there. My father told me I could do that if I pay it with my own money, but I don’t have any job (now it is tough to get one) and he never gives me tips. So, I thought you guys can help me in this trip I want to do. I hope you can help me. I NEED THIS BEFORE FEBRUARY GUYS!!

Hearing-impaired need help.

Hello, my name is Patrick Jen. I have a deafness disability, I was not born with the disability rather it happened gradually sometimes around my mid-teens. I can’t remember exactly what led to my disability but I can remember that I began to lose my hearing ability some months after I was hospitalized for an illness.

Prior to falling sick, I had just lost my dad and we were back from the funeral. Some weeks later I fall sick in the morning, my tooth became clamped tight together the upper and lower jaw. And my siblings had to use table spoon to separate my jaws. My mum rushed me to the hospital and I was admitted. I spent some weeks on hospital bed undergoing treatment, after the doctor certified that I was doing okay and I can go home, I was discharged from the hospital. I went back home and continued my full recovery.

Few months later my mum was issued an eviction notice to leave the house, because our dad has been paying the rent, and she was jobless while he was alive. And now she is unable to keep paying the rent. We left the house and moved into a low-income house before we will be able to renovate an old house that our dad left behind.

It was while we are staying in the low-income house that I began to lose my hearing ability. It felt as if there is water in my ears. My siblings took offence because they thought I was deliberately ignoring them whenever they call me, not knowing that I actually can’t hear what they are saying. I explained to my mum that I truly can’t hear and she took me to the hospital, I was checked and some drugs were prescribed for me to use. I began to use the drugs and I got some relief from the hearing loss. But unfortunately the drugs finished and I was unable to buy more and sustain the treatment because we are poor and there is no one to help.

As a result of lack of treatment, the hearing loss returned and persisted. Now I can’t hear the human voice without a hearing aid, I can only hear very loud noise.

Please I need help of $10000 to enable me seek treatment and purchase the necessary drugs, so that I can go back to school and complete my education. Thank you very much for your generosity as you help me out with the little you can.

Some money for my future

Hello, my name is Luis Garcia, and I live in Venezuela, I was born here, and lived a somewhat interesting life? My parents separated when I was a child, I was about 5-6 years old, I lived with my mother in my grandparents’ house, I remember my childhood a bit problematic, fights between my uncles, between my grandparents, my parents etc, then the economic situation of the country declining faster and faster and the country reaching extreme poverty, I never had good things, I never had a phone, good pc or some console, I am a very, very shy person reaching the point of not speaking almost in conversations, not giving any opinion, etc, I have lost many friends because of my shyness, I have distanced myself from them to the point of not knowing how to return to them To speak nor to say, that’s why I have lived a lonely life most of the time, it has cost me even to relate to my family …, So after giving a short description of my life, I would like to have some kind of help to be able to cope my aspirations, to at least get out of This country, I am currently in university but it is not good, I would like to study at a good university, I want to be a programmer, I really love it, I never had any kind of inclination towards a specific career, nothing attracted me, but one day I tried programming ( with simple things) and I fall completely in love, it is what I want to dedicate myself to the rest of my life, but in the situation that I find myself is really complicated, at my house sometimes there is nothing to eat, my grandmother’s pension currently It is not enough for anything, the minimum salary I think is less than 1 dollar, and it does not give to buy something, it has been hard to live like this, I have decided to start saving to leave this country and study abroad to help myself family in the future, little by little I am saving but certainly at this rate I do not think I can reach anything …

Now comes what it costs me, to come here and beg for money, I don’t think it’s the best way to get money to save and buy food, but with some hope maybe later I can return it in the future if someone gets to read This, to donate something to me, really even if it is 1 $ for me is already too much.

If someone really does, I want them to know that I thank them from the bottom of my heart and, I hope I can return it one day.

Funds for Bills, Medical aids &; Ankle Replacement surgery expenses

My name is Keisha and I’m unavailable to pay some of my bills due to Corona causing Job lost. My husband is one of the many people who lost their job and my disability benefits are small. Still have to pay mortgage and food for the kids. I’m Physically Disabled with PTSD and agoraphobia, Hyperacusis and tinnitus. I also have mobility issues which i have to purchase other aids to help me get around better. I have nerve damage in my leg and due to my foot drop, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome type 2. I’m in constant pain daily and our bills are running up causing my anxiety and panic attacks to flare up more. I’m also in need of a total ankle & Knee replacement surgery which is very expensive and the insurance company said it’s a high risk so it won’t be covered.

Total Ankle Replacement (also called ankle arthroplasty) is a surgical option for patients with arthritis of the ankle. This operation can relieve pain and maintain motion in the arthritic ankle joint and is an alternative to arthrodesis (ankle fusion) which can relieve pain but eliminates motion in the joint. Although it does not have the same long-term track record of hip or knee replacement, shorter-term studies on ankle replacement look very promising.

Support This Cause

This year has been tough economically speaking. By the end of last year I lost my job as designer in an architecture office.

Since then I decided to start a woodworking shop but the pandemic has made it even more difficult to invest on the machinery and tools to run the shop in Mexico with all the proper equipment and personnel. Even though I’ve been able to work with other shops to get the work done.

The main problem I face right know is that by this time I have been taking care of my mom since she has diabetes and have to pay all of her treatments and medicines needed to stay healthy.

I’m looking for solutions so that I can be able to keep my workshop running and been able to pay the bills.

To prove this you can see that I’ve donating blood to have some extra money and help other people.

I’m asking for $5,000.00 USD total.

• $2,500.00 USD to pay the med bills for the next months, and

•$2,500.00 USD to get all the equipment and arrangements for the wood workshop and keep the business going this future time.

I really appreciate any donation.

Thank you.

I need help to repay kind lady who helped me pay my tuition fee so I was not barred from doing my examinations

Hello. I am a university student who is in need of assistance. My father is the sole breadwinner for my family. My mother is a housewife and my brother was made redundant by his workplace a little before the coronavirus became a pandemic. My father is currently paying off my tuition costs for the years I’ve already completed and my brother was helping, but since he is now unemployed, he is no longer able to help. Also, my father’s workplace had closed down for a few months due to the pandemic but hopefully he’ll be able to go back to work at the end of August.

Last year when I needed to finish paying my tuition, my mother had asked someone from our church for help and she gave her the money. My father is already preoccupied with paying off the other costs, so he was unable to provide the amount needed for this instance. We thought we’d be able to get the money to the person we borrowed the money from by March of this year, since that was the agreed upon time. However, with the pandemic and my brother’s redundancy, we were not able to pull through. The borrower gave us extra time, but we still have not come up with the amount. She called my mother recently asking for the money. The amount owed is US $2,000.

I am asking for assistance please. I really want to re-pay her because it was so kind of her to lend the money to us, so that I could have been able to register for my courses and not be barred from examinations. I asked other persons for assistance, even persons who were in a position to help, and they did not help, but she was kind enough to help out. I feel so awful not being able to give her back her money. My friend’s mother’s friend overseas even offered to help me when I needed the money to pay my tuition, but she flaked. She had offered to send money to help pay off my tuition costs for the semester and then she just disappeared. She got my hopes up and then bailed on me without an explanation.

Thank you for reading my request and I would be really grateful if I could receive the assistance I am asking for. I can guarantee you that my request is sincere and I am an honest person who just really wants to pay the money I owe to this kind person. She didn’t have to help out but she did, and that’s why I am so eager to repay her.

This is a picture of my account summary at the university. Above I have circled the US $2,000. ($200,000 in JMD [Jamaican Dollars])

To have a chance

Hello… I was so shocked when I came across this site, I was just looking for online jobs to make extra money which is very much needed.

My story has a fairytale-like beginning: mom and dad met at college, graduated and got married. Mom was a special education teacher, until she got her vocal cords damaged and had to stop working and receiving therapy for a while. Dad was an English teacher and worked at the biggest airport in my country and his job was to teach engineers how to read airplanes’ English manuals.
Then, mom got pregnant with me and everything seemed to be going great. I was born, my sister was born and last but not least my brother… we were a very happy family and even though we didn’t have much, it was not needed and supplied with loving and affectionate parents.
When I was about six years old, one day, dad collapsed at work and had a seizure. Everyone said it was stress but when he got checked at the hospital, they gave us the worst news ever: he had a brain tumor which has huge and was located on the left side of his head.
It was a one piece mass, which made it easier to remove, but doctors didn’t know how much it was going to affect my dad; he could go blind, he could go mute or deaf, he could lose his ability to move his whole body or a part of it or he could not even wake up at all.
One decision was made and the surgery happened, dad survived and thank God he did not have any of those consequences, but only loss of memory, a made of steel replacement of the head bone removed, and having to take anti seizure medication for the rest of his life.
This at the same time, meant he could not go back to work for three years after that because dad could not stand up without losing balance and he would have permanent migraines. When he was able to go back, he got fired and couldn’t find another job for another three years.
During those six years, my mom started working again, but her salary was not enough to supply for a sick husband and three little kids in an expensive country like Costa Rica.
This meant getting credit card debts and loans as well.
Fast forward and we all grew up and studied in good schools and high schools, helped by scholarships, even though my dad got a nice job at a call center, but still due to year’s ago debts, he doesn’t get much money by the end of the month, nor my mom.
I entered college and was able to get a scholarship but as soon as my sister entered college, she was told she would not get help and my parents can’t afford to pay for hers, so I stopped attending and got a job at a good call center company and now I pay for hers and my brother’s fees.
We still do not have much but it’s ok, we are happy having a humble life, that’s more than enough.
Now, recently, we learned another issue we’re having: we live in our grandmother’s house and we have taken care of her for years and we love her very much.
But, she told us a few days ago that she will give this house to my uncle who got divorced recently, and that we have a month to leave and move out. My mom and I started looking for cheap houses to rent or buy, but all of them are very expensive and even though I tried to get a loan from a bank, it wasn’t possible because I only receive 200 dollars per month, same as my mom and my dad.
So here I am, desperate asking for help because I cannot find another job and we are about to get kicked out.
Please help us, I beg you from the bottom of my heart, I’ve tried every option possible but we have only encountered closed doors everywhere and no help from our family.
The cheapest place we found, even though is located in a remote area of the city is worth 200 000 dollars, but even the slightest help anyone gives us is gonna be well received and we’re gonna be grateful forever, and when things change and we are able to, we’re also gonna help someone in need just like us.
Thank you so much in advance and may the universe, God or whatever you believe in, bless you.
