Donations towards deposit for me to relive my youth in my late grandfathers house I lost when he passed.

https://paypal.me/cjp2000

hi all. I’m cayden.

This year has been an extremely tough one for myself. I do not want to provide a sob story, but just explain myself. When I was 4 years old (now 19) my father passed away, he was involved in a car crash with a drink driver who was also under the influence of drugs, I grew up never touching alcohol or any type of drug and I am still level headed about that now. I eventually accepted my dads death many years later but it took a lot of getting used to and still does now. I’m completely and utterly lost without him. My mum took care of me herself since then. I have a very small circled family

18th January 2018 this year my mother passed away from bowel cancer. She was diagnosed 12th December 2017 and unfortunately the cancer was too fierce to cure. I’m still numb to the situation now as I haven’t been able to grieve.

When my mother has passed away I moved in with my grandfather, we lived in a small 2 bedroom house just us 2. I didn’t go to college often as he was terminally ill with dementia and felt extremely guilty leaving him. His symptoms got a lot worse one my mother had died. I haven’t ever really lived a normal teenage childhood like everybody else, I only socialised a couple of times a month and that was only my 1 friend coming to visit me at home. I would go shopping for my grandfather, cook, clean and ensure he was taking his medication bathed and in bed.

On August the 17th 2018 my grandpa also passed away, leaving just me and my auntie behind. My auntie lives in Scotland but she did travel down for his small Burial. There was only my auntie, myself and 2 other people at his funeral. Once his funeral had passed my auntie went back up to Scotland and I was left to find a full time job to supply for the house as I didn’t ever want to let it go as it held too many memories for me.

On the 22nd September I lost my first job due to being signed off with depression through my probationary period

On the 23rd October I had to hand the house back to the landlord due to falling behind with rent and creating of a debt for myself.

I then moved into a youth shelter that I am still living in to this day without a choice, is horrible here. All the other tenants are challenged children, none of them take care of themselves they all have parents and grandparents and I feel extremely lost and inprisomed here.

Mine for the good news! My grandfathers house is back on the market for rent! I have since been in touch with the landlord and he has agreed if I fund a deposit of first months rent (£595) within the next 3 weeks and prove myself to be working (I currently am part time at Asda, should I get the house I shall switch to full time) he willhand the keys back over to me. Nobody knows how much this means to me, what I’m asking for today is donations to help me raise funds to get this deposit back!!

  • Please anything you have as small as £1 will help and I will be very appreciative, it will mean the world to me. Thank you for reading my story. Merry Christmas x

Need a new computer for streaming

You’ve seen the title, I know what you’re thinking.

”there’s others who have it worse than just needed a new computer” but please hear me out and take a read.

i understand that there are worse things in life than this, but here’s my situation. I’m 18 and currently unemployed due to mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder and panic attacks. (I’ve been struggling to keep a job due to having a panic attack and breakdown in the middle of a shift) I’m asking for a new pc because I stream on twitch which is a video streaming service where I can play games that I love and allows people to watch, as much as I love it my computer just can’t handle it.

Due to my mental health streaming games has been a great coping method, due to it being something I love and enjoy doing and knowing I’m entertaining other people with my humour and gameplay makes me feel good.

When it comes to streaming quality is everything,  I am currently unable to bring good quality content due to my computers lack of specs and suitable graphics cards for the games I play/hope to play soon.

with twitch I am also able to earn donations too but with my computer struggling to keep the stream going getting donations isn’t very easy.

Ive heard people say helping others makes them feel good so why not spend the time and make your self feel good by helping me achieve my goal thank you for any donations

as soon as I am able to get a new computer the first thing I’m doing is a 24hr stream where every donation earned will go straight towards a charity of my viewers choice

In debt and struggling on welfare

My name is Charlotte, I’m 21 years old and attending a part time college course (less than 16 hours a week). I am currently on UK welfare, which is roughly £57.90 per week. I suffer from ill mental health, and I am unable to work as a result. I was previously on welfare specifically for my not being able to work, but my claim was closed unjustly and is being followed up.

From the age of 18, I have been mostly estranged from my family due to conflicts that occurred between us, and have been through a realisation that I was deeply traumatised over something from my past, which has been a constant struggle and is hindering any immediate recovery I could hope to make.

In May 2018, I lost my job due to my mental health issues, subsequently losing a £1000+ paycheck per month. Shortly before losing my job, I was on an extensive sickness leave, and had to take out ‘payday loans’ to help cover my loss of earnings, and a further loan from a family member of £1000 to replace a months salary.

I’m not here looking for a miracle, I am just looking to get by. £57.90 a week barely covers my basic living costs; and due to the loss of my job I fell into arrears with nearly all the home service companies I am with (rent, council tax, internet and phone bills etc.) — For which my landlord has already threatened to evict unless I make regular payments, which I can scarcely afford and still be able to keep myself healthy.

I’m currently in a position of having empty cupboards, no central heating and very limited electricity, as the money I would normally have used has had to go to paying back as much as I can of what I owe companies.

If anyone is able to help me in even the slightest way, I would be so unbelievably grateful.

Bridge the gap

Hello to those who read my plea for help.

So obviously though life we have our ups and downs, I’m fully content with my life and happy.

But I’m in need of help urgently and I don’t know where to turn.

When I was young and tbh up until recently I was against marrige but all that changed when I met the love of my life, I’ve been in and out of relationships long and short but never have I felt the way I do about this person.

The only issue is she lives abroud and we had planned to file for a visa so she could come live with me , but we hit a huge bump in the road when it came to proving my financial situation, as the visa requirements state need 6 months of employment history but I recently went back to being self employed and can only provide 5 month.

Now the situation I have is I’m being kept from my soul mate and won’t be able to bring here here for over a year in the new tax year in 2020 unless I can come up with £62.500 and for it to be in my acfoita for 6 months and from that point I can show I have enough to support her for two years.

I don’t need to keep the money and for anyone willing to help me I would lay my life on the line to get than money back to you the moment I didn’t need it and I was reunited with my beautiful girl.

I know this isn’t a situation that shouts out as important but to me money isn’t something I need as time is more precious. And every moment away from her is a moment wasted.

Even if you don’t help thank you for reading.

FAMILY EVICTION HORROR

Hey, I would like to thank you guys for clicking on this as it is still a traumatic situation me and my family went through.

So here’s my story

I was at work (which I used to work at a restaurant from 6am to 3pm to save up for university) I received a call from my brother who was crying on the phone telling me that they just got evicted from our (my mum, 2 brothers and my grandmother) house which I never expected, I didn’t believe it at first but it sounded very true because my brother hardly ever cries. I was so surprised because my mum never told us or even gave us a notice that this would’ve have even happened!! They only gave my family 5 minutes to get their stuff and go! I wasn’t there at the time so my brother only took my laptop for me. We were staying at my aunties house so my mother could sort things out with the mortgage lenders on getting the house back, so she got solicitors and lawyers and even quit her job so she can try and get the house back since we’ve been living there for 13 years. So weeks past and I start getting agitated for all my belongings which were my clothes and my camera. I asked my mum to call the lenders to allow me to go into the house to get my stuff, they told her that they’ve already done a clearing my heart literally dropped I wondered why they would do that when they know we were fighting to get the house back. they let us visit the house so we can take our stuff, when we entered I dropped all my stuff and ran to my room, it was burnt upside down and all my old clothes was all over the floor and I ran to my mums room where all my clothes and other belongings were kept in her wardrobe because my room was too small to fit a wardrobe. MY CAMERA was gone, all my new clothes EVERYTHING WAS GONE. same goes for all my mothers belongings and my brothers and also my grandmas! they even stole our birth certificates! my mum ringed them up asking them where our stuff has gone and they said they hired people to do a clearing so our stuff is not traceable. my heart broke down it was a week before moving into university and I had the intention of getting all my belongings to start packing. but I was left with nothing but old clothes that doesn’t even fit me anymore. 2 months later my mum ids literally broke due to not having a job and fell under depression where she hardly takes care of her self. Im currently in university suffering on one meal a day because my student loan only covers my rent, and the bursary that was given to me in October wasn’t enough for me to even survive. iVE TRIED to stay so positive through this all, atm I literally have no money in my account and I can’t keep asking my mum when she hardly has anything, I’ve also asked a couple of my friends but I still need to pay them back. I don’t even have money now but every little helps, if you would like to help please

Please help me help myself

Hello there my name is Adam, I’m 32. I have a fiancé who is 25 and a beautiful little boy who is 18 months at the time I wrote this. I am far from being poor in the fact I keep on top of my bills and we have a roof over our head and food on the table. I met my fiancé 3 1/2 years ago and since then I have a good credit score and my life is going from strength to strength. Before I met my fiancé I was in debt I took a lot of drugs and I was a very selfish character, starting my family has changed my whole out look on life. No drugs for over 2 years and I’m genuinely happy in life. I work 50hrs a week but also have started a bouncy castle hire business and do man with a van jobs out of my working hours. My next step is to hire out wedding/ event items, but to get to this stage I need storage in the form of a garage so I can showcase my items. I’ve been on the council list for some time with no luck. Idearly for my next step in life I would like to own a house with a garage. To get a deposit in place is so far out of my reach as I’d need £20000 and with my bills each month I struggle to save much at all. I have always been in work and am certainly not shy about a hard days graft. I have so many dreams to be successful and have something to pass on to my little boy and possibly more children in the future. The only thing that is holding me back is the foundation and money I require. Many thanks for taking time to read this and I hope someone or some people who are in a position to help will consider helping.

Make Mikes Dream Come True And Be Part Of It

For many years I have always wanted to sail around the world in a small boat but was never in a position to earn that sort of money, After losing my brother two years ago after a long illness I realize that life is too short and that I need to make things happen, so i paid off all my bills and started to save, now that I have no debts and little outgoings I have been saving for the last two years to try and make it happen, I don’t earn much but have saved 10k so far so that’s good but at this rate it will be many years before I get to where I need to be.

 

I want to spend about 50k on the yacht and about 30k to pay for expenses along the way, but I also want to work while I sail as to keep going as long as I can.

 

I wish to offer others to join me on this journey that are in the same position as me and that’s poor but have a big dream. So it will help many others. Also I wish to document this on youtube every week as we go as to show everyone how we are getting on.

 

If I were rich I would help others as I feel I need very little to be happy and that health and happiness is more important than money.

 

Maybe someone has a yacht they do not use and could lend it to me for 5 years or so, but me putting my message out there might just find that one person who can change my life and others to.

 

The plan is to travel to many places and also do research on plastic in our seas, the more remote the places are the better we can monitor the plastics.

 

I am a decent, Honest hardworking and reliable gentleman who has a GSOH and will help anyone when I can, and I am sure when someone helps me I will oneday pay it back by helping many others, I have worked all my life and have many skills to my bow. I just need that break to get things going.

 

Any help is much appreciated and you will be part of this dream of mine!

 

Regards

 

Mike

UNIVERSITY STUDENT IN NEED

I have always known that I wanted to go to university, ever since I was little, it wasn’t until I started graphic design at college that I realised this dream could come true, I might actually be able to go to college doing something that I love. I was offered an unconditional offer, and am now nearing the end of my first term.

I love university, the people, the experiences, the course, all of it is so eyeopening and inspiring. However, I am finding it hard to keep the motivation to be inspired. I was raised by my mother, who although has always been able to provide for me, has struggled herself, sometimes even missing meals just so that me and my mother could eat. My mother is a truly inspiring women and one day I wish to be like her, as kind and generous as her and as loving as her. unfortunately recently her financial situation got a lot worse, with her being let go from her job she had to find a replacement one. She earns even less than she did before and has no way of helping me financially. I got a job at a local coffee store near to my university, I spend all my spare time either completing my assignments of working in the shop, it is consuming me. I am struggling to make friends due to my absence from social events, as I have no money to fund me attending, any spare money I get I have to pay for my food or equipment and travel to university.

I know this is probably a lost cause and a useless thing to do, but I am hopeful. Hopeful that someone out there will be kind enough to spare me some money to help me out. Hopeful that someone shares the same kindness and generosity that my mother did to me when I was growing up. And hopeful that I will be able to complete college and make something of myself, so I can make my mother proud.

so please, if you can, help me out so I can make my dreams come true and one day I will hopefully be able to make someone else’s dreams come true too.

thank you for taking the time to read this,

GARDEN OF HOPE

Dear Sir/Madam

Hello, I was wondering if you could help us please.

I am a full time carer of my partner who is registered disabled due to mental health (bipolar disorder) and a heart problems (major heart attack aged 38)

Due to his bipolar he gets very anxious and stressed when having to go outside as he does not like large crowds and noises, which makes his condition worse. 

I would love to have a safe space outside for him to go and relax and have quiet time without me worrying that he is going to have a episode and so he can get some fresh air instead of being stuck inside all the time, the problem we have is that our back garden is not a safe place, it would also be great to be able to hang out washing on the line instead of having to have it around the house drying (which is also bad for our health as it is causing damp issues) 

I would also like to try and grow our own vegetables as a healthy diet is beneficial to keeping his heart working well and I think it would be quite therapeutic being outside more. 

To make it safe we need to have all the soil dug up and taken away and a supporting wall built all the way around as the garden is 5 feet high in some places due to the garden being higher than the property, it will also require fencing and a secure gate. 

We have been quoted £10,000 as it is not cheap to have the soil disposed of which we would never be able to afford. I know this is a lot of money but my partners health and well-being is my main priority.

If you would be able to help us in any way we would really appreciate it. 

I have never done anything like this before but we have no family or friends that could help us. 

When I met my partner I lost all my friends due his bipolar as there still is a big stigma with mental health. 

Thank you so so much In advance for any help you will be able to give us, it means so much to know that there is still good people out there and I hope one day that I will be able to pay it forward. xx

Hi my name is Anabella Oliver.  I am 18 years old and  driven to do something better for myself no matter what knocks me down. I have a one year old son named Matthew who is the sweetest little boy you could ever meet.  I found out I was pregnant with him when I was 16 and all I could think about was money. I need income and a lot of it in order to support the child I am bringing in to this world. Matthew was born and he had everything he needed.  I didn’t have to work because I had been so driven to save money that   I was able to stay home and care for the angel I had created. Then January  2 2018 came and I was awoken out of my sleep to the details that Matthews father had been shot and killed . I was alone now. Even then I bought a car , got my first apartment, and got a new job that  allowed me to also attend some hours in college. But then I got into my first accident. Matthew was in the car and he was on the side that had the most impact. I still have his unpaid hospital bill lying somewhere in a drawer. Then I got into another accident on my way to work. The insurance left me with no money for another vehicle. However, I don’t want to be thought of as a victim. My dream is to invest in real estate. But real estate with no money down? Yes you heard it . I need someone who sees my drive and potential to invest in me . So that I may flip that investment in a never ending cycle of increase and enjoyment. I’ve had bad luck in the past. I am searching  for hope.

Please help. I’m really struggling right now

This isn’t something I normally wanted to do but I really need help. I’m 21, male and I live with my fiance in a rural part of Ireland. I’m unemployed and disabled mentally and suffer from severe PTSD, depression, anxiety and other issues.

 

When I was 12, I was kicked in my testicle. My testicle grew to the size of a pineapple. But being so young and with my mother in bad health and my father struggling to keep his 4 kids and Children afloat, I did everything I could to hide my pain. Over the years the testicle grew more and more, I was bullied in school to the point I left education, I was sexually abused by my uncle and I was convinced that what I believed was testicular cancer would kill me. By age 18 I couldn’t date, I couldn’t participate in any hobbies or physical activities and I was unable to even sleep or lay on my side and stomach. My mental health deteriorated, I tried to take my life and I failed. My mother’s health was even worse at this point and still my family did not know of my illness. 4 years later (yea, i hid this large testicle for over 10  years) I somehow found my way to a doctor’s office and once they saw my illness, I was immediately sent for tests and to the best urologist In the country, but my mental health and physical health was still bad. I had the surgery to remove the testicle and I was informed that it would most likely require chemo and radiology treatments. At this point we did not matter to me truthfully though because I had already believe that I would have died years ago. But somehow I got through and it turned out that I had an extremely rare form of haematoma the mimicked the symptoms of late stage 3 testicular cancer.

 

Once that was over if, I would love to deal with the mental side of my ordeal. The illness has taken away my entire childhood. I eventually met my partner Darren, and together we’ve moved into a small home near where my parents live. We were there for a few months but for the first time in my life I was… Kind of happy. I felt like this thing that has made me a monster… This enormous testicle… The thing I thought was kill me…it was gone. And I was madly in love with Darren.

 

Shortly after though, Darren’s father passed away unexpectedly. To support Darren, I offered that myself and him will give up our home (which for me was the start of my life) to move in with his grieving mother who lived in the middle of nowhere with no means of transportation. So that is what we did. We gave up our house and home, the little semblance of livelihood and Happiness that I had finally found…. We gave it up for his family, people I barely knew.

 

It was only shortly after moving in that the abuse started. I have begun to become more depressed and anxious and started self-harming more. This was because it was clearly evident that his family disliked me. There are several occasions where there was alcohol involved (I don’t drink at all) and there was abuse brought in my Direction by his mother and his brother. I have stayed at their house for the last year to support a family that absolutely detests me. To support a family that will openly admit their hatred for me, that have no problem with referring to me as scum. I think I was just there to all to grieve the loss of their father though because I was kicked out on several occasions for no reason. It was during this time that I tried to take my life a second time. I was living in a small room… Their spare room…My health was deteriorating as my conditions were worsening and my mentality decreasing. The strain on my relationship with my partner was becoming too much and I felt like I was for some reason the main thing that was creating the tie and the hatred between me and his family. I thought I would be better if I wasn’t here.

Somehow and I don’t know how, we managed successfully after long year we managed to leave. To get out of their.

 

We now just moved into our own little house that we rent. I am trying to get disability allowance but I don’t know how long that will take. My partner is trying his best to look after me but to bring in some money too. But I’m still struggling. We don’t know how we are going to continue until my claim is sorted, we really need some help…any help. Financial help won’t cure my mental illness, but at least it might give my partner and I a chance to try and get a grasp on things….to get stabilized. My health is getting worse but I’m continuing with my therapy  but we don’t know how to get out of this rut and no one I know can help. We can’t afford to pay for utilities like rent, electricity….not until my disability claim goes through and we don’t know how long that will take.

 

If you should decide to help  me….thank you. Truly. Thank you so so much. You dont know how much it means to me .

Any help appreciated! (Advice welcomed)

Okay so this is a bit of a last resort! As I can’t think of anything else, although any advice would be appreciated just as much as money!

I left a job with Bupa in April and started in another healthcare job. It is an agency and can only offer shifts as and when available.

Last year, I had to take extended sick leave from work as I had to go in for surgery (twice) and there was a lot of healing time. The sick pay wasn’t nearly enough to cover bills and I took a loan out.

 

Back to now – I have been working for the agency for a few months. I have been getting very few shifts, some weeks I get none at all! Not one shift. My partner already works 70+ hours a week in a kitchen and can’t do anymore.

I feel absolutely hopeless at the moment, as not only do I have a loan payment coming out in a few days! I have other bills/direct debits that I can’t afford to pay. It’s extremely upsetting and it’s affecting my mental health, which I already have issues with.

My partner has already been paying all of our mortgage payments alone and I feel incredibly guilty about it!

I have applied for countless other jobs and will just have to keep my fingers crossed, I was also told that during the lead up to Christmas, the agency wouldn’t have as many shifts to offer, so can only hope it’s a dry spell and things will improve!

 

To anyone that can help, whether it’s money or advice, I really appreciate it.

 

I do have a small business on Etsy selling painted rocks! I don’t really make sales (4 in a year) but I’d be happy to send you some as a thank you for your generosity.

 

Thanks again

Romania 2019

           As a former Eastern European Communist country, Romania has known vast suffering and constant subjugation, where deep feelings of exile and loss found little to no relief in the arts, that supreme force that takes the dust off our everyday existence, as Picasso would say. The arts were dead during the Communist regime, and remained under severe scrutiny ever since. My initial intention was to mine and build upon a collective memory reflected in all surrounding landscapes. Alas, our collective memory is built upon anything but photography.

          An agile Romanian sportswoman with a humanistic bent, trained first in Architecture then Italian Literature and Philosophy, with no purpose in sight besides taking a hearty bite out of life. Having dabbled in commercial photography shortly after graduating college, living felt incomplete still. In 2012, after a short stint in Florence as a photography student, the big break happened regarding my life’s journey: all ties came to a knot at the mystical age of 29. Since then it didn’t take long to want to aspire towards mastery in a field that is ever challenging, universally engaging, politically and socially charged ad infinitum – fine art photography it was. All of that for this – if curiosity about understanding one’s personal myth is the secret to enjoying this earthly existence, well then, I am now the happiest human alive. Because Romania is my home, and home is mythical, Romania has become my personal myth. I regard photographing my country as honoring the land that gave birth to me, honoring its past and hopefully redirecting its future towards a more engaged, emphatic future.

With your help, a major shift in an entire country’s consciousness will be possible, a shift regarding the arts, history, and the validity of photography as historical artifact. Once finished and delivered in book form, this very project will serve as conceptual platform for an equally important project: visibility for the LGBT community in Romania. Think of yourself as being part of something larger than life that will kick-start change for thousands of people for ever. I am committed body and soul to achieving this goal, and I need your help, today. Anything helps.

What do you say? Give a helping hand and let’s do this already! Thank you kindly again, to each and all, even if all you had was a pair of eyes browsing these words. It means a world to me for you to have made it thus far.

Just a 20 year old trying to start her life

Hi I can’t even believe I’ve gotten to a point where I am asking strangers to help me, but I thought it was worth a shot because at this point I actually think I’m abit desperate.

I’ve looked around on here and to be honest other people seem to have it a lot worse than I do and if I could I would donate to them as well. I am just a 20 year old girl who’s finally found a direction in her life. After years of contemplating i have finally realised that it is a dream of mine to open my own medi spa and although I am aware the courses are expensive I am working as much as I can in order to pay for them. however I am desperate for funding for a laser machine and rent for a place to work out of in order to start my business, I really thought I could get to a point to pay for this but unfortunately reality hit me like a truck and I now see how difficult it is to live in the real world with no backing…. and I know it seems ridiculous but I genuinely don’t know where else to turn – I can’t explain how driven I am to make this work, And I can guarantee with your help I will work hard as soon as I am able to get on my feet.

I have worked quite a bit but I’ve given that money to my parents as like many are going through financial hardships and I can’t even express how terrible I feel, they express to me all the time that if they could help me they would and It breaks my heart to see them in such a vulnerable position.

Every little will help I can promise you and I can also promise that not only are your kind donations going to a girl who is grateful, driven and independent (excluding this situation right here) but it will also help me to make money to help my family live a happy life.  Please help a girl out and I appreciate your time for even reading this.

thank you,

Please help

Hi, I am a single divorced mum with 3 fairly young children. We are in desperate need of funds (around £2,000 in total) just to make our bills at the beginning of December. Over half of that amount would be to pay the missed bills from the last 2 months due to unfortunate circumstances.

Since finding the courage to leave my abusive ex husband he has refused to help pay for the accumulated debts from our marriage and also refuses to pay maintenance for the children. I have gone down the legal route to try and get this sorted but the debts are all in my name (as my credit score was much better than his) and He calls social services trying to get the children taken off me every time I try and sort out child maintenance.

As such I have been working hard at various jobs over the last 3 years keeping our money on a very tight hold and paying back my debts. But 2 months ago I was forced to quit my job mainly due to the company exploiting my severe depression. Something I am seeking retribution for as it was an unfair dismissal, but it meant I went 6 weeks with no income before some benefits were started.

I can’t seem to catch up those 6 weeks. As soon as a little money goes in my account I find myself quickly paying the longest outstanding missed bill and the debt repayments are being missed. Due to trying to find childcare etc I am struggling to find another job quickly. I have an interview next week and I am hoping against hope I’m good enough for them.

But please please, can you help us get out of this black whole we have found ourselves in? Just so we can know our bills are up to date for Christmas? I am so low over this and I don’t know where else to turn. Please someone out there help us. Thank you

Depression debt

I graduated a year ago and have worked as a freelance performer since. But have really struggled with my mental health over the past few years which has made it really difficult to support myself. I live with a flatmate in London and don’t have huge support from my family which live a few hours away. I have build up £3000 debt over the last year from my overdraft, borrowing from friends and credit cards. I have just got myself a fulltime call centre job to help me get back on my feet but having to pay my way and pay everyone back  feels like an impossible task. I am constantly stressing, it feels like a huge weight attached to my foot. Having got better at coping with my mental illness I’m ready to start really living and I feel like this is holding me back.

Please help if you can!

Need to pay off upcoming debt in 2 weeks

 

paypal.me/nadyaellahi

Hi, I’m Nadya and am currently struggling financially. I have £70 to pay back on the 30th of November and £306 to pay back on the 30th of December.This is because I took out a loan of £250 with quickquid back in October. I took out a loan because I was unemployed, living at home and desperately needed money to help my mum out with paying my council tax. I also needed to pay for travel to my doctors in the next town over. I’m living at home with my mum and brother, my mum is struggling to pay the bills and as a result the internet gets cuts off regularly, and there isn’t much food in the house. I was at uni but dropped out at the end of first year due to depression. I don’t have any money atm and my mum is struggling to pay council tax for me as I am now living at home. I am too anxious and depressed to work right now although I am starting work at M&S at the beginning of December.

 

I also have an overdraft of £1,500 that I need to pay back from my time at uni. I had no money and the loans/bursary barely gave me enough to live off. My debt is really getting me down and it would be nice to be financially stable and earn enough money to one day have a place of my own. Any money would be appreciated. Having no money at all is making my depression worse as I can’t meet up with the few friends I have, I can’t buy basic toiletries and things that I need. I also suffer from eczema and don’t have enough money to be able to buy cream that would help with my skin. At home we currently have two dogs and 6 cats to feed, 2 are strays that live out the front of the house and 2 are kittens from one of the stray cats. It is a struggle to be able to buy food for all the animals and for me my mum and brother. If I was given any money on this site it would most likely go towards my upcoming debt, and then council tax for my mum so she can have enough money to pay the bills. Then I would spend the rest of the money on essentials. Many thanks, Nadya.

Help me

Hello, first of all I just wanted to say thank you for taking the time out of your day to read this and maybe make a donation or share so other people can.

I am 20 years old and two months ago I lost my house and I am currently living with family.  About a month ago I got into a car wreck, I’m fine but my car is messed up.. a week after my car wreck I passed out and hit my head on concrete the hospital put me off for three days and my boss fired me even though I had a hospital note. Even when I had my job and worked full time I still fell short every month trying to catch up and pay off student loans, pay car insurance every month plus rent to the people I live with and gas and just day to day things to help me survive.  All I’m asking is that if you find it in your heart to help me get back up on my feet and get my life together I’m needing help fixing my car and getting caught up on paying people back for helping me since I’ve lost my house and my job the way hopefully when I get my new job all I’ll have to worry about is getting a new place to rent.  So with that being said I am asking for help in raising 1000$ just to cover the damages on my car and pay my family back what I owe them for helping me when I lost everything.

I thank you in advance for your support! Your donations will be greatly appreciated and as soon as I get back on my feet I hope I can pay forward helping someone in their time of need like people have help me in mine.  Thank you for reading and/or donating!

7 Operations, 3 beautiful children, but drowning in debt from medical bills and not family to help

https://www.paypal.me/lovingmotherof3

It all started on Tuesday 16th August 2016. I had my third child via c-section. I really wanted a natural birth but it wasn’t meant to be. The following day I should have been going home however I wasn’t feeling right and I had a red/pink mark above my dressing. As I had previously had an emergency csection, I was aware this wasn’t right and pointed out to numerous staff but it took nearly 48 hours for a doctor to start administer antibiotics. Due to the delay my wound opened up on Saturday 20th releasing blood and fluid. This was a horrific experience but  this wasn’t the worse to come. Staff stated that I had an infection but it had finally left my body. I started getting more unwell during Saturday and by the early hours of Sunday morning my bowel had made its way out of three separate sections. The panic in staff faces was horrific. There was a delay getting to theatre but I had to have major surgery to repair damage. Four days after this I was released. Things at home didn’t go well. My two sons were upset I had been away for so long and felt I had abandoned them. I had to give up breast feeding as the. I traction’s in my uterus  kept upsetting my bowel and I had many accidents which was mortifying. Things didn’t improve. I landed up I. Hospital April 2017 to be told I had an umbilical hernia and would require an operation. On 17th August 2017 (one day after my daughters first birthday) I had my surgery. I was told I would be in and out the same day but unfortunately that wasn’t the case. I awoke with my husband and siblings gathered round to be told I had a very large hernia that required mesh. I was In hospital for 9 days trying to learn basics again ur walk, toilet, wash myself. It was very hard. Again my body just didn’t seem to recover. In September 2017, I was rushed to hospital via ambulance due to horrific stomach pains and vomiting. They stated my body abdominal walls were highly inflamed and my body was trying to reabsorbe fluid pockets. I was rushed back to hospital December 2017, I was told I now had two hernias as the first one hadn’t held and bowel was trapped and I would have to go on an emergency waiting list. January 2018, one day before my sons 4th birthday, I am rushed to hospital with possible bowel strangulation (Which is fatal) and receive an emergency operation. This time I am staples closed. I am again I. Hospital for 8 days and I take an infection. When I finally get home I am told to visit nurse to have staples removed. Staples removed and within two hours, in front of my children, my wound opens in three places releasing blood and fluid. It was like a scene in a horror movie. I am rushed to g.p and they put dressings in and I am in emergency list in case any organs try to push way out. It was the most terrifying experience yet I had to stay and act normal for my children. 6 weeks of having to get nurse and my husband to do dressings the wounds finally seal, but I have tearing pain again. I get a CT scan and it reveals a now have 4 hernias with bowel trapped in two. I am put on another waiting list. This time I decide to research hernias and specialists as the whole family have found it so traumatic as have I and I don’t want to be constantly on operating theatre tables. I find a specialist based in Edinburgh. I ask to have my care transferred from the Grampian sector to loathian and my g.p does all the forms, but I am told politics prevents this so in order to get the right care I must pay for it? I take out a bank loan and use a credit care to cover cost of operation, travel, follow ups and also to have a foreign student stay with us for 6 weeks as I couldn’t care for my own children and my husband couldn’t get anytime off due to all the other time take for pervious operations. I hate asking for money or help so this has been a big one to swallow. I did some crowdfunding towards operation costs but didn’t manage to get 1/5th of cost risen. I even organised an event for a public walk and although I managed to get 34 people signed up. There was so much competition I was up against. Also people don’t fully understand what I have been through or know me or seen the effect it has had on my children. But a lot of people an sympathise with cancer patients etc as we have all known someone affected by the big killer. My parents would have helped me out but I lost my father in 2016 (March) to a sudden heart attack. This was horrific being pregnant and being told if I grieved I could hurt my baby. Ten my mother died in a horrendous house fire less than a year after my father (this was in the national news papers, Elmore, Braemar) so I have no one to ask for help, I have tried raising money. Now I really need someone to comer forward and help me start a fresh, away from debt, away from all the time we have lost and just a guardian angel if they exist. I am now the mummy with no belly button. I am still in recovery after my operation in July this year. Constantly on edge, but I had the best man do the job. If I could shift the debt, it would give me a chance to save to take the family away for a night as a treat to say thank you for all their support

Eviction Emergency

Charles Dickens famously wrote in a Tale of Two Cities that “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times”.  I certainly feel I can relate.  Four months ago the people I worked for decided to not pay me, terminate my employment, without a redundancy package despite being there over 5 years and through some dealings that are currently being investigated in lead to a tribunal, fudged paperwork meaning I couldn’t claim even statutory redundancy from the Government.  In short, I was up a creek and some git on a jetski had nicked my paddles and stuck a hole in the boat.

Quickly I began scrambling for new jobs, whilst also trying to sign up to the beloved new Government System – Universal Credit.  Temp jobs, cash in hand jobs, appeared, and I eagerly took them, working all the hours that I could.  Clearly as impatient to meet her parents as we were to meet her, my daughter arrived 3 1/2 weeks early roughly a month later.  As I had no permanent job, I took some time off whilst she stayed in hospital on the Neonatal ward, to get her settled at home when we could finally take her home, and be there to bond, parent, help her mum (we are not together).  Then to go through the allergy questions, intolerances, sleepless nights, her breathing issues, her gastric issues – and before long, 2 months of the occasional shifts between hospital and GP visits just to get the bare essentials of living – I needed to get back to looking for full time employment.

I’m still looking.  I’m still scrambling and scraping by on odd shifts, temp work, cash in hand work, selling possessions etc.  Still waiting for Universal Credit to help me, but I’ve got yet another appointment next week I can only imagine is to spin the wheels a bit more.  But now I’m out of options, and one of the things that I let slide, was the rent.  So now, the landlord has said pay the arrears of £2400 by the end of this week, or be out within two.  And I totally understand why, from his perspective.  It’s business, it’s not personal.  For him.  For me, it means something a bit more drastic.  I’m still job hunting, picking up shifts, selling off the few things that are mine that I can, but I just need a bit of help because I’m desperate and time is of the essence.  I don’t have many relatives, and of those I do they don’t have the cash to spare, my friends have helped where they could mostly with stuff for my daughter which was wonderful but none of us has much spare cash.

This isn’t anything grand, exciting, heartbreaking, or unique.  What it is, is my life, and I’m currently trying to cling on whilst being there for my daughter as best I can amidst a sea of other issues that have befallen and conflicted this year.

To anyone who does help – thank you, personally, with amazing gratitude.  Once I’m back on my feet, I will pass it on.
To anyone who wants to help, but can’t – no worries.  Thanks for reading, I’ve been looking at some of the stories on here and wishing I could help too but being unable.

To help, please donate, whatever you can, here.

I’m sorry to burden you guys but I am desperate and really struggling

Hi all, my name is Ben, I am 38 years old and live in West Yorkshire. I am in a big financial hole, I owe 2 month’s rent and have numerous bills outstanding since I lost my job in May this year. I have borrowed and paid back all I can to friends and family but it’s reached a point where people avoid me ( even though I have paid back moneys) and in some cases i am too damn embarrassed to ask because it’s all i seem to have done last few months. I am actively looking for a job but struggling and for the 1st time in my life , last week, I felt like ending it all as I am really struggling. On the outside I have to pretend I am ok, nobody really ever comes to me and asks me if I am ok so I pretend all is fine because everyone has their own problems, right?? I thought of my younger brother and friends and honestly was too scared to go through with ending it all. I honestly love life but it’s become such a burden, I go to sleep full of worries and guess what, when I wake up same worries and problems are still there. I maybe need to relocate in order to get jobs but I still have to sort my bills and rent and really , really need some help, even advice on how to get things back on track. I am really struggling and am not looking to get rich, just looking to sort myself out as soon as possible. All help, advice and prayers appreciated and i hope one day I myself will be in a position to help someone out that is worse off than me. Thank you for taking the time to look through my fundraiser, Have a nice day! My paypal is paypal.me/borninthestruggle Thanks again!!!

On my last leg, begging for help

Hi, my name is Shane, I’m 21 from Scarborough. So I’ve never asked for financial help until recently, this is the first time asking strangers for help because it’s the last place I can turn. Here’s my situation; earlier last year me and my partner split up, so I was forced to move out and get my own place and shortly after my uncle passed away. (I’m not looking for any sympathy, just explaining). During this time I started to decline down hill and I ended up getting myself into serious debt by taking out A LOT of payday loans, I guess you could say I’ve had my head buried in the sand for a while.

When it came to paying loans back I would take more loans out to cover the cost of the previous ones, which by the way is a terrible decision to make. It’s not the loans that make it hard it’s the interest. I’ve been in debt now for over a year and I don’t have any family or friends that can help me, hence I’ve turned to here.

I’m in debt of upto £4,000 and it is escalating badly. Bailiffs have been at my door and honestly it’s the worse feeling ever. I’m very independent as it is but I’m at my breaking point now and I really don’t know how much more I can take. I don’t at all expect people to pay my debts off and I hate asking for help or money. I am 100% willing to pay back whatever is donated. I’ve never asked for charity before but I literally don’t know where to turn to now. Thank you for taking your time to read this and any form of help is brilliant. I’m sorry for asking for help but it’s my last option.

CAN’T EVEN AFFORD BREAD


NO MONEY, NO FOOD, NO LIFE

I am a 20 year old student who can’t even afford the basics of bread. With £0.19 left in my overdraft, basic needs such as toilet roll, milk and toothpaste are simply essentials which are beyond my financial capabilities. I am only in first year and the support of mother and father are not available as they are just as broke as I am after the bills have been paid. Recently, I have tried to start a new relationship and I have never been in one before, the problem is… he lives two hours away. I live away at university, which is two hours away from home and I can’t even afford to get home to see anyone close to me. I have no social life at university because everyone is going out and I am seeing the same four walls day and night. I have a job but they do not even give me enough hours, they give me 3 hours a week if I am lucky but most of the time I am not on the rota as I am on a 0 hour contract and they have over 50 employees. I currently the bank £1500 in my overdraft and have £600 on a credit card. I am maxed out. I have less than half a year to pay these off and that will not be achievable without an income!

Getting over anxiety is very difficult when the main cause of the anxiety is related to financial problems. They say that money can’t buy you happiness…I can’t even buy food to feed myself. In one week I eat 4 days out of 7 as I can’t afford to eat anymore, it’s gotten to the point of starvation at university and I can’t drop out because without a degree I cannot get the job of my dreams… to become a teacher. I would give anything in the world to become a teacher and right now that dream seems impossible as if I carry on starving, I won’t even get to finish university.

If anyone could help me survive at university you would honestly be saving a life. If you could donate to my PayPal and spare some money, you would be amazing.

Help me become a mummy with IVF

Hi My name is Megan, I have been with my partner Jack for 15 years and we live in Kent

We have 15 rescue rats but plenty of room and love for a baby too

I Suffered for many years from PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) & Endometriosis.

After spending over a decade of trying unsuccessfully to have a baby we approached an IVF clinic to seek professional help, we were granted one free run although costs for additional procedures and medicines totalled over £1000 which we were happy to pay for.

All went well to start with, after many months of setting all things in motion including lifestyle changes, diets etc, we were told that the Embryo Transfer had been a success and I was 4 weeks into my pregnancy

I was so happy, all my dreams had come true, I was going to be a Mum at last.

I had a number of early stage alarms and worries but all seemed well, the scan at 7 weeks clearly showed Baby (who we called Pumpkin) alive and well with a very strong heartbeat.

After several more weeks of agonising waiting we went for our 12-week scan, the nurse spent some time running through the procedure, she finally looked at me with a tear in her eye and informed us that Pumpkin had died not long after the first scan date.

I was devastated, I found it hard to live through the next few days, on top of which I had to cancel Midwife, Doctor and further hospital appointments, I grieve everyday now, it’s hard to hold back the tears.

Pumpkin had to be surgically removed the day after the scan at the local maternity unit which was full of happy mums and their new born babies, it was a very difficult time for me. My world had fallen apart.

Following the Miscarriage our next course of action was to return to the clinic to discuss what had happened and plan to start the procedure for a FET (frozen embryo transfer) we had one embryo only so this is our Last Chance. This all took some time as the whole procedure starts again with all the pre-medication and conditioning. Dates were all set, i’d been drinking POM juice and eating a slice of pineapple a day including the hard centre (supposed to help build the womb lining) All was good, every scan just as it should be so all ready for Transfer Day, I was excited and nervous about our Embryo (we already nicknamed Sprogg) not thawing out, he did and he expanded as he should, took on water and the transfer also went very well! After the implant was completed we were informed that everything was looking as good as it could be.

Then a day and a half later I started bleeding, it was Sunday so I couldn’t call until the next day and when I did I was met with a highly unsympathetic nurse who said it wasn’t normal and just had to cross my fingers….Cross my fingers when we put our hearts and souls into this, all our hopes and dreams!
After researching this like crazy I discovered I needed to be given more progesterone, so called the clinic again and was told I was on the max dose (I was not) and that it would just be a waste…the bleeding could’ve been stopped and Sprogg saved so again, a heart wrenching situation that was unexpected and completely devastating.

We are now faced with starting the whole procedure again from scratch, the costs in time, emotions and money are considerable so again we are looking for support to aid us on our journey…….but not at that clinic :(

I just want one tiny miracle all of my own to love and cherish, I am saving like mad, selling everything I own in the hopes to realise my dream, the cost of the next IVF round will cost thousands which we do not have at this point.

My family encouraged me to look for help online which I am now pursuing even though it goes against our grain.

Just one baby please to make my dreams come true.

Thank you for reading my story, please help by donating if you are able and if you can’t donate please share my story because maybe someone else can, thank you

All my love Meg.

How did I get here?

40751270_10161015569500604_8628935742610997248_n.jpgHello there,

 

I can’t say I am entirely sure how I go about this, as I’m sure many others must say too.

I mean, how much of my ‘sob story’ does one need to know? Should I start from birth? Teen years? Do I simply bullet point the endless short comings, failures, attempts and other devastating life situations I have experienced?

I am lost.
I am 30 years old, I have two beautiful children, both boys, both awesome to their core. One I had too young, I was naïve and vulnerable and fell for a man who promised me the world, only I didn’t want the world, I just wanted love. Shortly after the birth of my eldest I was diagnosed with bowel cancer.

I remember my partner telling me at the time that he wished I had breast cancer as at least then I could’ve been bald but with a new pair of knockers! Nice guy.

My next relationship I had found my confidence, and grown my hair, still average boobs though I guess! This time though, I was desperate, really desperate for his love, to the point where I was willing to lose myself to please him.
My desperation for love, so my psychologist told me, was due to being neglected by my mother when growing up, I was never taught what true love was, therefore forever accepted anything which came close.

4 years of domestic abuse, sectioned under the mental health act and raped, I gave birth to my second son. A rape baby. I was terrified I wouldn’t love him, and yet my goodness! My heart could burst each time I look at him. He gave me the strength to get away.

In my professional life, I have worked in rehabilitating drug and alcohol addicts, my work has always been a huge part of me, I feel that my purpose on this planet is to help others, I carry a huge heart, and I remember each and every person who I have cared for, rehabilitated, referred, assessed etc. I also cook food for our local soup kitchen twice a week and I find great pleasure in doing so.

I then went on to work for the police force as a substance misuse officer, I would be there to speak up for those who had lost their voices, or were too judged to be heard. This job was the hardest. I found myself taking on the whole justice system! Truth was, I could never do enough for the vulnerable people of my city, it also felt as though the ones at the top, in their nice swanky offices were never interested in hearing what the lower class wanted to say. I would cry myself to sleep, the death rate was utterly shocking. I will always carry a special place in my heart for all the homeless and addicted I have had the pleasure to meet.

I left the police force. I decided that enough was enough, I needed more behind me if I wanted to truly help those less fortunate or those that carried demons and needed a voice. So, I October this year I started my masters degree in Criminal Psychology.

As a single parent, now a student, I needed help from my governments benefit system, for the first time. I started my applications for financial assistance in August 2018, I am still yet to receive a penny. I know what I am entitled to, but for some reason, it is taking so so long.

My landlord also decided to increase my rent by £250 per month. My abusive ex also has needed a restraining order, and I needed the assistance of a solicitor to protect my children, this also cost a lot of money.

Now, with being behind in rent, I have been handed an eviction notice, if I could get the money to pay what I owe him, then I hope he wont evict us. I also hope that by then I should receive some financial assistance whilst studying.

 

So, after that ramble, which was actually in a nutshell would you believe! If you’re still awake and reading, I could sincerely use your help. I am hardworking and a good person, I could just use a break really.

I really want to put my mark on this world, for the better, yet I feel that each time I try to do good for others, something awful happens to me.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for reading, and thank you for the help and donations you so freely give to others. God Bless

17 Living Alone, Help With Bills Please?

Hello, I’m looking for a bit of financial support as I don’t have any money for 2 weeks. After leaving foster care, I’m living on my own at 17 and have just managed to pay my rent which has left me with nothing for the electricity, gas, food or necessities. Unfortunately I’m in a situation where I have no family to support me and my friends are the same age as me and unable to support me financially.

I have a dog who my friend kindly offered to take care of for me – his name is George and he is the only family I have. I pay my friend £10 a week for his food and care but haven’t been able to do so for over a month due to money being so tight. My friend has been extremely understanding of this however now she has said she won’t be able to look after him for much longer as she struggles for money too. I really don’t want to lose George as he is my world, I will prioritise him and my own basic needs over anything else.

I have applied for a job and my application was successful, however I cannot begin until training is available which I’m told will be within the next 3 weeks. After that I’m hoping things will be a little easier.

I’m not looking for a huge amount of money, just enough to cover my current bills and necessities and to keep George close.

Cost breakdown:

£20 ($26.18) – This is just about enough to cover George so that I don’t lose him. Although I owe my friend £50 now, and it would be nice to pay this off, my friend has kindly said she will accept £20 until I’m in a better place.

£30 ($39.27) – This covers my food and necessities for the next 2 weeks. Meals, toiletries and laundry.

£40 – This almost covers my gas, water and electricity bills for the next 2 weeks so I don’t freeze and I can make a hot cup of tea! This one is quite important now that it’s getting cold.

 

I would really appreciate your help, thank you so much for taking the time to read this.

Affording christmas

Due to a recent change in my financial circumstances I am currently struggling to pay my bills.

I have recently become a  single mum of 3 children. My oldest son has autism and mental health issues and my younger son finds this very difficult to deal with.

I work full time and have done for the past 10 years.

Due to a recent break up and my sons mental health deteriorating not only am I struggling financially but also mentally.

He has recently had his  DLA money taken off him when it changed over to PIP. As far as they are concerned he is no longer  autistic.

People have no idea how much of a struggle it is to hold down a full time job on minimum wage and support 3 children one with Autism

Autism is a difficult disability in the sense that looking from the outside in my son looks like anyone else. What people don’t understand is that its affects can be devastating to all aspects of his life. From when he wakes up in the morning to when he finally manages to switch his brain off which is almost never.

Chriatmas is the one time he feels truly happy within himself, all the lights, atmosphere and the build up!

This chriatmas will be different as I wont be able to take him to see the lights being turned on in London  or for family days out which we always do and then there is christmas presents for my children.

Never before I have ever been worried about christmas and the feeling is ….Well…truly awful.

I’m struggling, can you help?

HI, I appreciate you taking the time to read through my plea.

I’m 19 living on my own, trying to work towards a successful career. I work 43 hours a week at a boatyard training to become a qualified Boatbuilder. Since i’m young and I am still training my wage is very low.

Even though I work long hours during the week, my wallet still falls short. After i have payed my bills, monthly car insurance .etc I have virtually nothing left. I have worked out how much money I can spend a week exactly and I break even.

However that doesn’t leave me with anything if I want a social life, if my car breaks down or my washing machine breaks. Both of which happened last week. My car failed its Mot leaving me with repairs of £400, and my washing machine broke. I can live without a washing machine for a while but I need my vehicle to get me to and from work.

Even if it’s just pound, I appreciate any contribution.

Desperate and disabled.

Hi. I’m new to this type of thing and embarrassed I have to resort to this, but can’t see any other way out. I live in the UK and have fallen foul of our government’s fascist attitude to disabled people. I had to retire from work (I was a senior science technician in a highschool) in 2006 due to ill health. I have fibromyalgia, arthritis and many other conditions too numerous to mention here without boring you all. Basically, i have problems with mobility. Our government have rolled out a benefit called Universal Credit, which they made me change over to. They have also stopped my disablement benefit as, according to the government, I have made a miraculous recovery. Totally contrary to what my doctor and specialists say! I am appealing their decision, but this process takes at least 6 months to go to court.
From being able to pay my bills, I am now in dire straits. I only get £206 a calendar month now. My rent alone is £300. My gas and electric bills are £90 and other household bills; water, council tax etc amount to another £100 approximately. I am reliant on my car as cannot walk far at all, but can no longer afford it. Insurance and tax for car are another £100 a month. I have no help and no-one else in the family can drive. I do get a small pension of just under £200, but as you can see this doesn’t cover all my bills and I need to eat! I have just been re-homed as was homeless for 8 weeks and really don’t want to loose my new little home. I also have an outstanding bill of £200 with the storage company where all my possessions are stored and cannot get my things until this is paid. I have a bed, a washing machine and a camping stove. Thats all.
Please help me out with this. I am at my wits end. I dont know what else to do. TYIA

My son

Hello all. I have to beg for help because my family aren’t able to help. My ex decided he wants nothing to do with me or our son anymore because he was constantly spending his months wages paying my bills, struggling with his own to the point it gave him depression, put him on meds, struggled to pay his own bills and put him in debt so he feels he has to distance himself for a while until he becomes more stable.

I can’t get a job due to being a full time single mum, universal credits keep messing up my payments and my money. I can barely afford to pay my rent and have food for my son so please. I’m asking if anyone is willing to give a girl a little help? I pushed everyone away due to my own issues. I want things to get better. I need this to get better so my son can have a happy life. He turns 1 in a couple of weeks, I can’t do anything for his birthday. Christmas is coming up and I can barely afford to get him anything for Christmas either.

I want my ex back. I want to help him with his problems but at the moment I cause more due to being in this position, all of this happened because I don’t have any money. Buying everything for our son and paying my bills ate all of his wages for months. Ate all of his savings. I never wanted that to happen. No one in my family was in a position to help me financially.

I just want my family back together. We were a great couple until these money issues started then we just started to crash and burn.

If anyone’s willing to help then please donate to paypal.me/LilLeo17

Help.

Long story short. I screwed up, had a 2 year relationship, had a son, then the issues started, we lived separately, she got help financially, I didn’t because I worked, but my wages weren’t enough to cover everything, to get access to my son and have him stay with me I had to buy everything I could so I bought a cot, clothes, toys all with my savings, helped the child’s mum pay for stuff for her house, then had to take time off work to look after my son while the mother stayed in hospital due to complications and I soon ran out of savings, 3 months later we started arguing, I had to pay out more and more to get through all the excuses and have my son(we were still dating but it seemed like she’d never let him leave her house even though we were both the parents) so I took out a loan and maxed my credit card ensuring my son had everything he needed both at my house and hers. We had a good couple of months before she started going out drinking with her friend again, more arguments and complications. I then decided it’d be a great idea to buy an engagement ring. We got engaged… Lasted a month before I argued with her friend and then it ended. Since then I’ve been paying out everything I have, in attempts to get time with my son, to make it fair and to make sure he has everything he needs to the point where im now in debt that I can’t get out off, bills racking up to near enough my whole months wages and it’s draining me because when I think it’s all good. Something pops up and I’m broke. So if anyones willing to help a poor guy out to clear off his debts and give his son a better life.

I currently see him maybe once or twice a week if I’m lucky but I usually have to argue for it and end up paying for her taxi to bring him to me or have to pay for her lunch in order for her to bring him into town so I get time with him.

Homeless and lost

Thank you for taking the time to read this. Since 2004 when I made the decision to fight in court to be able to care for my autistic son who was being abused by his mum I have invested all of my energies into this. At first I had to give up a well paid job in order to focus on his full time care needs, gradually I found employment in whatever I could do and built up enough funds to be able to start my own business that was as flexible (although still a struggle to balance work and care needs) A few years go by and I met a woman who I was later to marry, relationships were strained but happy for nearly 10 years. My son became an adult and I tried to continue his education but the environment and institutional disability discrimination put a stop to it. He moved into an assisted living apartment and our relationship has become even stronger since that full time care role need has diminished. During this period my wife cheated on me and was forgiven, revealed a few other dark secrets from the past and was forgiven, but eventually it has all taken a toll on me and my business and relationship started to fail, with a total lack of understanding and acceptance of mental health needs the relationship ended. I moved out and into my workshop where I have been ever since (1 year now) I have a high rent to pay for this space but yet need it in order to try and make ends meet, each month has been a battle to get enough money together to pay rent and live which inevitably involves selling belonging which I now have none…I wash in a sink and have a cold water hose connected to a bottle with holes in to shower, the workshop is not heated and because it is industrial has a small army of rats and mice, I eat once a day whatever I can find if I have no money and have no cooking facilities, this is getting progressively more toling on my body and my health is deteriorating. My fear is that my health will stop me from getting out of the hole I find myself in. The fire and energy I once had to care for my son and ensure he had everything he needed with love and material things has almost extinguished. I’m sorry this is long, the details would have made it a novel and if I get out of this mess I intend to share them in the form of a book, a story that some of the facts would certainly be seen as fiction. Whatever you can give I will be eternally greatful for, my aim is to find an actually house to live in, downsize the workshop rent and be warm and dry! Thank you.

Fleeing domestic abuse

I met my ex partner in 2015 everything was ok until i fell pregnant in 2016 he slapped me when he found out I was pregnant and left me on my own, as I was pregnant with no help I fell into severe debt to the amount of £1,500 for baby necessities, At 7 months pregnant he contacted me and I allowed him to come back into my life, as soon as I had my baby the violence started he strangled me with my daughter in my hands and continued to be violent and mentally abuse me I fell into post natal depression and he used everything I was going through against me the amount of times he has beaten me since then is at least once weekly, he uses the fact that I’m financially unstable to keep me where he wants me and I always ran back. when I left I felt so desperate ugly and worthless he tortured me many times and kept me hostage inside my apartment many times, a month ago I left and decided to never look back but I’m falling in hard times I finding it hard to clothe me & my child and we are living on very basic food I can’t work until my daughter starts nursery next year as I have no family or help I would just like to ask for any funds anybody could spare just to go clothes shopping for her I don’t want to ask the father for anything I don’t want any contact with him atall I know it’s a long shot but I’d like to think if I was better off I wouldn’t let somebody go through what I’m going through so it’s worth a try. thank you for reading.

Struggling to get ahead

Hi

I’m a single mum that finally escaped a violent marriage. Don’t want sympathy. I’m free and safe.

I don’t get any help from the father as his children refuse to talk to him so he feels he shouldn’t pay. Type of man he is. We have moved to a different country to be free. I managed to get a job within 5 days of being here and work 45+ hours a week. I’m not lazy just can’t seem to earn money fast enough. Having to get all new school uniforms and a car my little savings that I had have gone. I have tried to get a bank loan but you have to have 3 years proof of address in this country to be eligible.

I just can’t seem to earn money fast enough and am so scared of losing the first home my children and I feel safe in. I don’t know where else to look for help.

I would like just the money to pay for next year’s rents so I can get ahead with my bills instead of living month to month not knowing If I can pay or not. By being ahead I can put the money aside knowing we’re safe and if an emergency comes I have a little freedom.

My son just had to go dentist which meant I didn’t have all the money for the rent. I’m now behind again. Just seems as soon as I get up to date I get in debt again. Hate living like this. I don’t spend any money on myself. I don’t drink or go out. Luckily I work in the food industry and I can eat at work so only buy food for my children. That way I can buy them little treats.

Just waiting for next year’s rent and I know it’s nearly 4000. Panicking how I’m going to find the money to pay it.

Sorry for the sob story and thank you so much for any help offered

I will forever be grateful for your kindness.

University Fund

Hello, my name is Leo and ever since I was young I always had the dream of becoming a businessman one day so that I could live a better life and to also help my mum live a more happier life and a life where she can also relax and just, in general, be happy.

I never asked my mum for a lot as I knew deep down that we couldn’t afford items, presents and the luxury other people would have had, on some birthdays I remembered not receiving any presents and as a little boy I cried for ages and ages and looking back now only if I had realized sooner the situation we were in I would have stopped crying and hug my mum instead of crying. She is the nicest mum in the world and I’m very so grateful for everything she had done for me and so I want to pay her back.

Enable me to achieve all this I decided to apply at Cambridge University to study accounting and finance. I have all the required grades for the course with the main being Maths and in maths, I had achieved the grade of A. but the cost for the university is far too greater than what we can afford and we do not have any alternative to solving this issue, I work every day after school (I also study at The Holmesdale School) as a Year 13 Sixth Former and I am, currently 18. In Sixth Form at the current school, I study BTEC Level 4 Business as well as BTEC Level 3 Sports.

The more reasons why I also wanted to be an accountant is that by being an accountant I will have more opportunities to learn more about the ins and outs in a business. And with more knowledge, I can help to develop and hopefully become innovating in a way where I can become big and well known. I also wanted to start my own business one day in doing Real Estates and by studying under finance I hope to get experiences as well as starting up my own company that would be one day become worldwide.

I know I’m just a boy dreaming, I’m at the point of my life where I’m desperately in need help the most and I don’t know what I’m going to do, I’m very desperate.

I do not really know how to express my feelings into words as my literacy is not very strong. I’m desperate to get into Cambridge and I’m working hard every day enable for me to achieve my dream, please help me I would forever be in your debt, but although even if the target is not met and even if i do or so not receive anything i would be very grateful for everything and it makes me happy to know that someone responded and come to my aid, but I do know that there are other people out there that may need this money more than and no matter what I will not take anything for granted and I’m sure one day I will come and thank you personally for the opportunity that you would have provided to me and thank you for reading

Yours sincerely LWANNAWONG

I need £856 for a flight ticket to Nigeria

Hello everyone,

I never beg for money but, I am very, very desperate at this moment in time. I have tried everything but I am at my wits end! This is my last resort.

I have to go to Nigeria in December because of a very important family matter and I currently can’t afford to pay for my ticket. Currently, I work in retail and what I make does not cover up to half of the cost of the flight. My current work contract consists of two four-hour shifts. I make £8 per hour. As this has never even been enough to cover my living expenses, I am constantly doing overtime which is taking the life out of me. This does not seem to be helping. I am wearing myself out! I am constantly looking for new jobs as I graduated in July and would like to start being a bit more independent and not so reliant on my family. It has been difficult finding a better paying job, but I know I will find a job in due time.

I cannot go into the details of why I have to go to Nigeria as the subject matter is very sensitive and private to my family. As this trip is very sudden, I don’t want to put pressure on my family to pay for my ticket so, I am trying to raise the funds myself. This is proving really, really hard for me at this moment. I am trying to raise the money by myself as my parents are separated- I do not have a relationship with my dad. In addition to this, my mum just about has enough to buy her own ticket. I don’t want her to have to worry about my ticket as well. She does not know that I am doing this.

The cost of the ticket at the moment is £856. This was the cheapest ticket I could find. So, I need £856. To some of you, this may not seem like much. If anyone could help me or donate, I will be very, very grateful. This would most definitely take some of the stress my family is currently under away.

Once again, I will be grateful to whoever can contribute to this. I would not lie about why I need so much money. If you can give, I would really appreciate it

Thank you in advance

Losing home

March 2018, was the worst month, my husband of 14 years walked out on myself and 2 children and went to live with another woman. We were, and still are, shocked and devastated as my husband was a loving, honest and hard working family man. I have found it exceptionally difficult as I suffer mental issues. ie- depression, anxiety and agoraphobia. At the present time I cannot work, although I’m always looking for ‘working from home’ jobs but I’m either not qualified or haven’t got the right equipment, etc. I never expect something for nothing. My family and friends have always worked for what they want and until he died my grandfathers philosophy was ‘if you haven’t got the money to buy it, you can’t have it’ he would never use a credit card or credit account. So I’m not happy about ‘begging’ I’m not interested in precious jewellery or designer clothes, etc. But I guess you just get to a point in life where you think ‘ why not’ ? ‘I need help I’m stuck so maybe somebody who could well afford it might take ‘pity’ and want to help’ so here I am asking for help to keep our home. We privately rent our house and it is way too expensive for me alone with no job, so it’s a struggle, but it’s our home and has been for over 5 years, my children have grown up here and it’s a wonderful house. It needs lots of work as it’s an old house and needs a total ‘over haul’ but still we feel happy here! When I last spoke to the owners they advised me that are going to sell the house, prob next spring (2019) we are so sad, even though it’s a struggle the house has been our sanctuary, our comfort,  our home! If I had the money I would buy it from them in an instant but I have absolutely no chance of getting a mortgage and have zero savings, we literally live week by week. I can only dream of two winning scenarios…..

first is- someone buys the house as an investment and restores it fully and allows myself and my children still rent for a lesser amount or to get the money to buy the house ourselves and renovate it. It’s not only for my own selfish reasons but something I could leave for my beautiful children. I’ve never owned a property and so never fully felt like I was living in a totally comfortable environment as you have to be so careful about the property. I spend my life worrying we might damage something! Anyway… I’ve tried once before for help and had not one response so I’m so hoping on this site I might get at least one person who would like to help. Please believe me me I say it is not easy to ask for help but desperate times call for desperate measures. Please help myself and my children buy our home and truly make it ours for stability and peace of mind. Thank you for reading this.

A Break in life

Hi, I am a divorced single mum of 4 wonderful children, the youngest 3 live with me. The eldest of my children, my mini me, couldn’t cope with the split of her family and it turns out her living with her father and his fiancé where she can get a lot more attention and help was best for her. A decision that will forever break my heart, but it’s not what was best for me.

I am looking to ask for help with me getting my life back on track.

Since the break down of my marriage (due to both of us, though I was the one who eventually called it a day) 3 years ago I have struggled financially and not always handled things the correct way.

For instance I turned to credit cards to make ends meet when I couldn’t afford food shopping after paying all the bills. Thus actually making things worse. I have since cut up those credit cards but I am paying a large sum each month paying back those debts that I owe, something I strongly believe I need to do, though my not overly supportive family just think I should file for bankruptcy and be done… there are a few reasons I do not wish to follow their advice and instead ask for help on here.

The most pressing reason is that I am currently in my middle year of college, getting my Accountancy degree. Something I have always wanted but wasn’t allowed to pursue. If I have a bad credit history this will greatly effect any career in finance, I am so desperate to have this career and give my children a better life, I want to exhaust all other options before considering it. I’m doing well at college and thoroughly enjoy my course, I don’t always get the answers right, but then how would I learn if I did? It’s incredible how much making numbers work pleases me. I also want to show my children that anything is possible at any age, you’ve just got to apply yourself.

Another reason is like I said previously I am desperate to pay back my debts. I don’t want to owe people money, and definitely not get them “written off”. This means a great deal to me and I feel also is a very good lesson for my children to learn that if you borrow something then you are expected to give it back with the agreed upon terms.

Up until recently I had a part time minimum wage job, I got pushed out of that job a few weeks ago and things have got really bad since then. I have suffered with depression for many years and my most recent employer was brilliant at first, then as the job evolved and things changed the support levels dropped considerably and I struggled to keep my mental health in check. I visited my doctor and therapist regularly to try and build myself back up, but I ended up unable to cope and had to take time off. When trying to return to work I had even less support to the point I was even sent home as they didn’t want me there. I would like to point out that my level of work I kept up through it all, I was paid to do a job and I gave it my all. I ended up feeling I had no their choice but to quit.

Im trying to get another job as I want to be able to support myself but being a single parent with no additional support (my family live over 100 miles away) I am extremely restricted by childcare.

please can you spare anything to help me get through these tough days, I can’t even go grocery shopping at the moment as I have nothing left. The benefits I will need to rely on are being sorted but incredibly slowly.

Please give me the break I am so desperate for.

Stuck in a constant cycle

Hello, little over a year ago my wife and I got married. Neither of us come from any money so it was difficult raising up the money for the big day, so stupidly I accepted a loan. Ever since then it’s become harder and harder to manage on just our wages as now we find ourselves struggling to make back the payments and cover the cost of rent, food, bills and running a car. We have no family to turn to, no way of making up more money other than more borrowing and it’s gotten to the point we are losing sleep and constantly worrying. It’s like so many stories and scenarios I saw on television growing up… Just never thought I’d see myself in this situation. I’m currently working 2 jobs and my wife is working one full time also, we had to move out of our last rented home due to a change in the landlords circumstances and it threw us further into this pit of debt.

I can’t sugar coat any of it, we’re currently owing thousands of pounds to several different people and we just need help. I’m only 25 and I don’t know how I’m going to get anywhere in life with this still hanging over us.

We have one dog, renting a cheap flat in a cheap location and we rarely have any food in for ourselves it’s become so desperate. All in all… I’d say we’re at least £15,000 in debt and I’ve got nowhere else to turn to but strangers. I doubt much will come from this but I have to try… at the very least for my wife and my dog.

Thank you for reading through this and if you have helped, you have my eternal gratitude and if it works, I swear when we’re back on our feet I will come on this site and donate to others in the same need as us.

Help me restore my faith and optimism

So I’ve recently found myself in a pickle unable to pay my bills on time and I hate being late on bills as it leaves me stressed out. I have spent many years making sure everything ran smoothly while I was working and trying to chase my dream of being creative. I wrote a book called Ephemeral Destiny, and had my doubts about carrying on with it but after asking for a sign to determine whether I should go on, I received many, in the form of strangers calling out names of characters I’ve never heard anyone call out and so forth, it made me carry on. I lost my job recently, was let go abruptly in Bristol, I had spent many long nights and quite a bit of money on illustration inside the book as well as on marketing thinking it was going to do well, at least sell a few copies or more a week. Anyway, everything started to go wrong, I was hit will a massive tax bill stating I owed them money because the agency I went through was so incompetent they only started applying the tax at a certain point in the year, which may have had something to do with the previous job I left because it did not pay as well. My washing machine packed in, my garden has overgrown, I didn’t sell any book, giving 200+ away for free and now everything is getting on top of me, nothing seems to be working out right. I feel like I have been a very optimistic person throughout my life, trying to go out of my way to be positive and make a situation a happy one even if I had very little or am not expecting the most. I want to get back on top of things because right now I am unable to function and feel sad as much of my life has been helping others enhance theirs.

Help me raise £2ooo so I can get on top of my life and not lose myself to darkness.

I would be very grateful and will appreciate all the donations given. I thank you very much.

I am a student and I have £1.87 to my name

15D9943E-9938-46FD-A8DB-260CB6CDA55A.jpegI am currently a student in my second year at university with no money.

I got an overdraft last year to help with living costs and ended up maxing it out over the 12 month period; as the title states, I have £1.87 of that overdraft left to spend. I’m not careless with my money, I have about £3 in cash left, but for transport to and from university (only when needed, otherwise I walk). I am currently awaiting approval for my student finance just to cover living costs which was supposed to be sorted at the beginning of September, but for some reason there is a major delay (they are going over some technicalities with the university). I have limited my spending every week awaiting the payment but it keeps being delayed and now I’m asking for help because I can’t keep waiting anymore; I’m always hungry.

My parents are unable to help because they have debts of their own and they believe I’m doing fine. I didn’t lie to them, but I don’t want to burden them with my problem because they have more serious ones, but honestly, I’m struggling. My food is running out; I have about 4 days worth of food left and I don’t know what I’m going to do when it finishes. I’ve eaten at my friends houses and even borrowed money from my younger sibling to sustain me while this is being sorted.

I am not being lazy and wishing for an easy escape; I am currently in the process of applying for jobs; one I’ve applied for is in collaboration with the university and we only get paid in December, January and April. I’m applying for other retail ones but I know I won’t get paid for another month or two from the date I start (knowledge from prior experience).

Any contribution would help and be greatly appreciated. I wish I could disclose my identity but I’m honestly ashamed of my situation.

Thank you in advance.

You won’t regret helping

Dear sir/ madam.

first I’d like to start by saying thank you for reading my plea for help.

My story is a bit hard to tell as it’s quite complicated but to put it simply; when I was younger me and my mum moved around a lot to get a better start each time but she fell off the wagon one too many times, had another 2 kids and eventually moved to another city to live with my girlfriend at the age of 17.

since moving here, life hasn’t been easy either, I’ve had friends who rented a room out to us but then ended up abruptly kicking us out even though we still had 1 month of tenancy left.

However, we looked on the brighter side and found a cheap, studio flat to start off our new life, just the two of us. This new flat wasn’t our dream at all though I’m afraid. It ended up having blocked drainage pipes to the point where water would not drain when in the shower or washing dishes and when washing machine was on, it flooded out of the sink. Then there was the problem with the insect and rodent infestation that occurred as the months got colder along with mould and dampness covering every surface and ruining most of our belongings.

We thought we had hit a breaking point when the landlord apologised for the horrendous living conditions and offered to accommodate us at another one of his properties, which was bigger and in a more quiet area. We even decided that we would get two beautiful little kittens to celebrate finally finding a place to relax at home with our little family.

We couldn’t have been more wrong.

The ceiling is leaking and there is mould growing all over the walls as well as more dampness coving our bedding and personal belongings such as pictures and childhood memories.

Being exposed to mould and dampness everyday for almost a year has such a detrimental affect on your physical and mental health.

My girlfriend has asthma and I happen have severe anxiety and depression mixed with slight bipolar disorder. Which makes my days hard as it is. I just wanted a place to feel safe yet free at the same time, like a home should be. But instead bills pile up, health deteriorates, problems get bigger and soon enough you’re ready to just stop fighting all together.

Im not perfect, I’m not the best person in the world but unlike the aggressive neighbour who decides to beat and rape his girlfriend and then get away with it after police involvement, I’m a good person and I would never do anything to hurt someone or be rude, I’m too scared to even make eye contact with a stranger, let alone ever be mean to someone like that.

I’m just asking for some help.

Ive felt like a disappointment my whole life, I just need someone to believe in me and help me reach my true potential.

Please help me with my debt

I am 19 and have recently found myself in a bad financial situation. I am currently attending university and have to pay for a flat in the city but I now can’t afford it as I’m in £2000 of debt.

I lost my job a few months ago due to health reasons and I’m struggling to find a new one which means that I can’t afford my rent – but if I don’t pay it I’ll be homeless.

I have been diagnosed with many conditions such as asthma, chronic fatigue and chronic migraines (with more investigations going underway to try and figure out what else is wrong with me). Even just one of these conditions together can be debilitating never mind them all together. Most days I’m in too much pain or so exhausted that I’m unable to even get out of bed never mind go about my day to day living.

Due to my health problems I missed my university exams last year which means I need to resit the year but I don’t get funding for that which means I have no income – right now I can’t even afford to travel to university or barely even eat. Im on my own and don’t have anyone to help me.

For university I also need a computer in order to do all my assignments but mine has broken and as you know I can’t afford to fix it. So not only can’t I make it to university, I can’t even look over lecture notes or watch the lectures online. I am scared I will not be able to pass my exams and progress any further.

Any donations to help me would be greatly appreciated. The thought of my situation right now makes me feel awful and I feel like I’m in a constant state of panic. Thank you for reading this, please help.

Struggling To Pay Mortgage

I am a married father of a beautiful 6 year old boy and unfortunately I made some bad decisions in haste while I was suffering from ill health. My employer doesn’t give any sick pay even though I’ve worked there for 18 years and not taken any sick leave. I had kidney problems and was unable to work for two months and to keep up with the bills and mortgage I took out a number of payday loans. I didn’t realise what I had signed up to until got better and returned to work. Some of the loans I took have interest rates of 1200% and I’m now struggling to pay my mortgage and regular bills along with these added loans. It all seemed so easy at the time when I was I’ll and not concentrating properly. This burden is now affecting me both physically and mentally and I’m at the stage where I can’t see light at the end of the tunnel. I’m in fear of losing my home and more importantly my family. Any help I receive will literally by life changing for me. I’m working every hour I can to make ends meet but I’m absolutely exhausted. I wish I had been in a better state of mind when I took those high interest loans because I’m more than paying the price for it now. If I was able to raise £4,000 I could get a little ahead on my mortgage and clear the high interest loans. This would give me breathing space to get my life back on track, spend time with my family and allow me to start a rainy day fund of my own so I will never see this dark place again.

God bless x

IM FINANCIALLY COLLAPSING

Hello sir/madam

I am 22 years old and I have a 23 month old daughter, as I’m struggling to pay my ex partner on time each week, she is not letting me see my daughter at the minute, I was living with my mum, little brother and a 18 year old foster child who we stopped receiving foster money for, since my dad left, it should be up to me to help provide for my family, but as I’ve been living with my girlfriend of 2 years in her flat because there is no room in my house really, I have also helped take on her bills, But, as she suffers with chronic fatigue syndrome (which is basically extreme malnutrition of omega 3 magnesium and other chemicals growing up) she can it go out and work and was receiving benefits for this, but with this new universal credit rolled out in the UK, she went 5 months without receiving any payments, so I have been paying and it has financially crippled me, I had a £1000 overdraft open with the bank and they were charging me £36 a month which took me over my over draft and the bank have now closed my bank account and passed my debt onto  bailiffs, I also habe 2 outstanding parking tickets, and I really can’t afford it, I earn £120  a week for 5 days work and have 2 GSCES so it’s very hard to get a job!! Luckily though, I am very technically minded and believe I could make money, once I am straight, I know how to write code and am working on high lessons at college, but this is a year course, in the mean time I am self learning about blockchain coding and I am also writing music! Which these 2 ideas WILL make money, but if I loose my car and laptop,WHICH IS ALL I OWN, then I cannot work or get to my current job.

I don’t know what to do So I ended up here.

All I can say is that when I do make money, any donations will be returned with interest depending on my current situation at the time! So please if you could help me out, my daughter and family would much appreciate it! And as I said kindness will be rewarded, probably next year but maybe sooner if I get myself on track sooner :)

On the edge

I’ve never felt like how I feel now, I had a accident in 2015 and at the time I shut my self away and just stayed in my room so lonely and down, I had PTSD from my accident as I kept having dreams about it, and I kept getting out credit cards and a catalogue buying myself things just to cheer myself up, I know it’s my fault but at the time I really was not thinking, I owe nearly £20,000 and I earn minimum wage and am so behind in payments that now I am being called non stop and just want my life to end, and don’t know where to look or turn, I just need a clean slate and start again, if you can please help me or email me asking for me Information,

Thank you and I’m so sorry to ask for help

I am really desperate and would appreciate any help??

Hi all, I’m really embarrassed to be here asking for anything but I don’t have any one else to ask.  This is a last resort for me.

I’m a graduate student at one the top institutes in the UK, I really want to pursue research in this field but lately I just feel so bad at my circumstances and I am so depressed about how bad things have gotten. I did an undergraduate degree in a natural science and now I’m studying energy engineering in the chemical engineering department.  I have a scholarship that covers about 80% of the tuition fees but I’m really struggling with daily living expenses now and I’ve just been limited to one meal at the day currently but I don’t have any money left. I already worked full time  in an office and had a part-time job on the side in retail last year before my course started but I guess it wasn’t enough! I feel really awful about this.

I have been applying for jobs everyday and waiting, I have a job interview on Friday &Saturday so I’m really hoping I will get one of those jobs but in the meantime I don’t have any money to feed myself with.  I will continue to apply for more jobs daily and see what comes up. I’m a bit restricted with which jobs i can apply for because the university limits the number of hours we can work per week, and my university schedule makes it a bit difficult.  And I also can’t afford the medication I usually take for my anxiety or my pills for anemia. I don’t have any clothes to wear for the autumn/ winter weather either, I can survive without the warm clothes, but I would truly appreciate any money to buy food and school supplies. It’s really hard for me to concentrate when I’m hungry.  I’ve got my rent bills coming up soon, so the remainder of any money donated or the remainder of my tuition fees which are collected at the start of each semester. I’m trying to get up to earn up to £2000 for this.

I already sold my ipad which I use for reading and my DSLR which I got as a gift a few years back.  I really didn’t want to part with the DSLR. I’m suffering from depression a lot nowadays, and it was the only hobby I could really engage with lately. I am not part of any societies and I didn’t go to the gym either (both cost money and I would rather spend the time working at this point) aside from being climate change ambassador and volunteering at local schools with the women in engineering society. I don’t really have anything else of value that I could sell, other than my laptop. But I will keep looking to see what else I might be able to sell.

I come from a low income background and I’m not in contact with my parents.  They aren’t in good financial circumstances and even if they were, and they have never shown any interest in my well being and they have never supported my journey through education.   I have siblings but they have their own financial problems and they don’t contact me very often, I can’t ask for their help.

I’ve been crying a lot lately and losing a lot of sleep, I really tried hard and I’ve been studying so much just hoping to distract myself.  I know the odds are against me and I should give up but I really wanted to pursue this field.  I hope in future, I can help other students once I get a job and become an alumni. I’m sorry, but I’m trying! Any help is very very sincerely appreciated, thank you so much for even reading this far.

Even if you can’t help with tuition/rent, anything that can go towards food and my medication would be great.
