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

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])

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.
