Financial Hardship Help

Trying to help my father.

Where to begin….

It all in my mind started when unfortunately we lost out dog Toby. He was diagnosed with GME, which he lived with longer than expected thanks to a new treatment. So he had chemo every 6-8 months I believe it was. Then one day he wasn’t acting normal, then once let out started to dig his own grave. Which is some thing i didn’t at the time know dogs do. And still to this day it’s one of the worst things I’ve ever seen. It turns out his stomach had twisted, which was corrected. But due to the muscle loss it happened again in the middle of the night. So it was at this point we had decided to put him to sleep. Watching your own father cry uncontrollably is one of the worst situations to be in as you feel hopeless. (Image is Toby that very day having his last walk with just him and my father sporting his pink bandage)

Then came to light news that my mother had got us £30,000 in debt. Which was followed by her getting a type of breast cancer. She is fine now and has been clear many years. This was the worst time for all of us, every one was so quiet. And I regrettably distanced myself from the entire situation. It was years to pay it off.

After this we moved to try and have a better life. How wrong that has turned out to be. As we went to renting my father spent some time off from working 60-75+ hours a week. Until the money ran out. But who could be blame him for wanting some time off.

Again cancer stuck again with our dog Chester, unfortunately it was to late for him. We had about 30 days until we had to put him to sleep. At least there is some comfort in thinking he is up there with Toby.

Now, our other dog Bertie just had surgery to remove a mass on his chin which turned out to be an aggressive cancer. So he is not long for this world now.

So with money being already tight it’s now not even their. And he’s just had an £800+ electric bill. Any amount would enormously help. Thank You.

An Invisible Illness Requiring Surgery

Dana lives with a chronic, invisible illness. When she was in high school, she began having severe migraines and having a tremendous number of painful symptoms—enough to cause her to miss so much school, she had to complete earning her high school diploma through the Hospital Homebound program while her doctors tried to figure out what was going on. They didn’t, and despite the challenges, she was accepted to Clemson University and in the fall of 2011, she moved into her dorm. Within a few days, before classes even started, her symptoms became so debilitating, she had to move home immediately.

Doctors did an MRI and found a Chiari malformation—meaning her skull is too small for her brain, blocking a regular flow of spinal fluid. She also had a papilledema pressing against her optic nerves, causing blindness. The third of her trifecta was a pseudotumor—giving her all the symptoms of a brain tumor even though there isn’t actually one present. She was rushed into emergency surgery to decompress swelling in her brain from excess spinal fluid. She was bedbound for over a year for recovery and completely dependent on caretakers. Doctors eventually installed a lumboperitoneal shunt in her lower spine to help regulate flow of spinal fluid, but even that wasn’t effective immediately. Not long after she finally recovered, symptoms returned and Dana had another emergency brain decompression surgery, followed by another long period of recovery.

On the outside, Dana looks fine. What people don’t see are the migraines that come every night, the depletion of energy after even the smallest of tasks, her inability to take more than one or two classes per semester because of the workload, or even her inability to hold a job because of how many doctors she still has to see on a regular basis and her health being so unpredictable, she would be deemed an unreliable employee.

Within the past year, her health has started to decline again. She gets migraines regularly, has a hard time completing small tasks, difficulty with auditory processing, lost her ability to safely drive. A few months ago, she started describing what feels like a “puddle” on top of her brain.

Now that she’s an adult, her pediatric neurosurgeon can no longer treat her, so we have found a new one. In December, Dana had another MRI and a new technology called an MRI Cine which showed her spinal fluid is still being blocked by her cerebellar tonsils hanging too low, causing her brain to sag towards her skull. He believes this could be due to her LP shunt (most Chiari patients have a VP shunt installed but Dana’s ventricles were too small), so he’d like to do surgery to clamp off that LP shunt. After that, it’s likely he will schedule her for another brain decompression and install a different shunt in her spine.

This surgery is high-risk. Most Chiari patients have one decompression surgery and Dana has already had two. Going in for a third time means the neurosurgeon will have to cut through scar tissue buildup that may have formed so thickly, it could potentially be attached to her skull.

Genuine Help

Hi everyone,

So this is a genuine plea for help, me and my husband currently live with my mum. Since we got married things went from 0-100 very quickly, my mother separated from her partner and took on the care of my niece, she had to give up work and found herself in a financial state, she was at risk of losing her home so we stepped in, moved back in with her and started to pay the rent for her, we have had to help her out with travels costs along with many other things, still doing what we can and being in need of a car myself and after spending thousands over the years on second hand cars we decided that a new car was the way forward, we wasn’t able to put down a large deposit as we had spent what would have been the deposit for our own home in helping out my mum. My payments are fairly high, shortly after picking up my car I received a call from my husband crying down the phone telling me that he had just lost his job, totally unexpected and very much an illegal firing, we could do nothing! I tried to hand my car back but was told I would have to pay a substantial amount of money to get out of the PCP deal I was in, 14 months later I’m still trying to hand the car back. We have had to use credit cards take out loans in order to make ends meet. We now have almost no hope of gathering the money together to get a deposit for our own home and still have debt we need to pay off. My mum is just about standing on her own feet again so it’s almost time we start to get ourselves sorted, I am currently working 2 jobs and so is my partner. We simply want some help to get back on pur own feet and try to start the life we should have nearly 3 years ago.

Young person in foster care needs help paying off her rent arrears

Hi I’m Alexys I’m 19 from south London . I’m a care leaver under the London borough of lewisham ( a care leaver is someone who grew up in foster care and is still looked after social services but is over the age of 18)

I was moved to an assessment hostel when I turned 18 and got myself enrolled into a youth work apprenticeship and that’s when I started to fall behind on my rent of £188 per week ( an assessment hostel is where they see if you’re ready to be put in your own flat; as a careleaver when we turn 18 we are given ‘priority’ with housing) £188 per week may not seem like a lot but it was impossible to pay especially when my salary was only£650 monthly. I was advised to stop working and receive benefits but I wanted to grasp the opportunity of getting a qualification and working in the field I really enjoyed.

Since I grew up in the system it was down to social services to approve my move on to my new property .I did all that was required of me , but it was delayed due to the fact social services could not find a social worker to allocate to me . The delay caused my arrears to sky rocket further ( being moved on to a flat is much cheaper than being in a hostel ) .

Having turned 18 was now considered an adult and working I was expected to pay the full amount or I would have made myself intentionally homeless . My arrears currently stand at £1300 .

I live alone , I don’t have contact with my family members and day to day life is a constant struggle . This debt is going to follow me forever until it’s paid off and I just hate the fact that I’m already in so much debt at such a young age. I can’t eat I can’t sleep I’ve lost a ton of weight the stress is making me physically sick .

I’m a genuine person and I honestly just need some help for the situation I’m in

Help Me Pursue My Hobby

Hello strangers :D

My story is not sad or tear-inducing (thankfully), though my circumstances still make it so that I kinda need money right now 😅

Basically I am an asylum seeker – and have been for the past 6 years. Our immigration status doesn’t allow us to work, and we are given about £30 a week to pay for everything except house bills (so food, clothes, bus tickets, going out, etc…). I don’t want to complain too much – at least I have a roof over my head and food on the table – but as a teenager it’s kind of depressing having to repeatedly make excuses to my friends everytime they invite me to go out with them, or when I wish for something for my birthday.

As my asylum claim hasn’t received any substantial answer for 6 years now, it got kind of depressing seeing life go by. All my friends got their first jobs and paychecks, their driving licenses, their first cars, they bought expensive things for their birthdays and splurged in parties, got accepted into University, went on holidays and enjoyed their lives in general as a normal citizen should.

I couldn’t do any of that, and so I turned to one of my dearest hobbies, which is doing art. I have been doing art for… gosh, years – I cannot remember exactly when I started. Before I came to the UK to seek asylum, art was simply a way to pass time. Now, as I find myself at a standstill in life, art brings me comfort and helps all the paranoia and worries of my immigration status and future away.

Art equipment unfortunately is quite expensive. Furthermore, since my friend lent me her iPad Pro for me to try digital art, I am in love with doing just that – digital art. My dream right now is to buy my very own iPad Pro (why does it have to be so expensive 😪) and just continue doing art so that I have something to be happy and look forward to each day.

With you guys’ help, I will be closer to achieving that dream, and so I can do more art and maybe (just maybe) when I’ll finally get my residency status, I will be able to do my dream job: illustrator and graphic designer.

Anyways, thanks for anyone that reads this, and I wish everybody a great day. I hope everyone has something in their lives that makes them happy, like art does it for me 🤗

I’m Alone

Hello. My name is Aidan. I don’t usually use things like this, I’m a very strong-willed, strong-minded individual. But I feel broken at the moment. I’ve just lost my father and my best friend in the span of little under two weeks. I only had those two people in my life along with my girlfriend, making it a grand total of three.

I’ve had to quit my job to resume looking after & caring for my grandmother, who’s in a seriously depressive state after the death of her son (my father.) No shit. I can’t blame her, I’ve lost a father – but that was her only son. She hasn’t got long left, and no child should ever, ever outlive their parent.

Why am I posting here? Because all of my savings have gone into helping out the rest of the family during this difficult time, funeral costs, ferrying relatives over to attend said funeral, tax costs, etcetera. I need money right now, and I can’t bring myself to gather the mental capacity to work.

 

I’m asking for ten thousand dollars. $10,000. I need a small loan (no Trump pun intended) in order to get back on my feet when all this is said and done. My PayPal is:

paypal.me/Froobs

 

I’ll be waiting for the payment to come in, but I’m not expecting anything. I am exceptionally aware of the greed that plagues society in this day & age, not to mention the scatter of posts being thrown up on this site day in, day out. Something my Dad used to say was ‘You’re only as strong as the mask you put on’, something he got from an old Chinese proverb whilst travelling there. He always had funny quirks & sayings such as that. I’m lost without him. I’m without words.

Thank you for your help, strangers, if you’re able to provide me with any. I appreciate every single one of you. I’m not religious personally, but whatever deity is up there, I hope he/she/it/they bless you. Time on this planet is short, life’s too simple and quick to dwell on things.

 

Live well, enjoy yourselves. Thank you.

Trying to learn a trade

BB7A28AC-60AE-4446-B375-3BD5ECD0749B.jpegHi lady’s and gents my name is Jay I’m 27 this is very new and a little embarrassing for me to be stuck for money that I have to ask for help 😞so I’m just going to be honest and explain why I’m asking for help so here it goes.

So like most teens I went to school and spent my years being the class clown and messed around a lot so wasn’t really focused on learning. I didn’t go to college cause I was in such a rush to get stuck into work and I have spend the last 10 years bouncing from job to job trying to find something I like and want to do as a carrer.

So i have earned minimum wage for 10 years and until last year lived on my mothers sofa, but now I have got myself out of there I now have a flat to call home which as most of you will know is where  the real money problems start from tax to water to rent. So the money I earn on these dead end jobs that are most through agency and are getting me nowhere in my future just about covered the bills, food and travel to get to work.

but I have recently discovered a carpentry course I can do whilst I work so I don’t lose any money as I can’t afford to take any days off of the fear of losing my home and starting back on my mums sofa at nearly 28 years old 🤦‍♂️ I have done some odd jobs at home involving wood and for some reason I absolutely love it so I would love nothing more than to get an NVQ in capentry under my belt and stop struggling with everyday life and maybe one day soon be able to afford a holiday or a car without bankrupting myself and constantly worrying about how I’m going to afford a night out with the Lads or treat myself to something nice for once 😊 the course to become fully qualified is 5000£

thank you for reading my story I appreciate any help I can get 🙏🏻  PayPal.me/jaybo991

Help me clear my debt and live normal life

Hi there, not exactly the route anyone wants to go down but I’m currently trying to clear my debt that I’ve built up since being a student feeling that I needed to fit in sign up to store cards, credit cards taking out loans. Looking back I really wish someone had of taught me about this and the importance of saving when was Younger. But I can’t turn back time and I am now dealt with this I currently work 2 jobs 1 full time and 1 part time and looking about another part time job just so I can meet bills. I don’t go out or buy clothes never mind being able to afford my own house. My live with parents and unfortunately they aren’t in a position to  help me and I really wish I was in a position to help them as they give me the best childhood and don’t even ask for any house keeping now. I want to be able to repay them some day but with the position I am in I am just working and getting nowhere. I have researched endlessly what I can do. My credit rating is through the floor due to the position I have got myself into. I just want to be in a position where I can pay normal bills and live a normal life instead of being consumed by something much bigger. You only live once and it’s quite sad that people’s lives can vary in so many ways. I’m not saying I’m the worst off in the world as I know people are suffering worse and I know in a way im to blame for this but I just hope for help to get me out of it so it’s not the first and last thing I think of everyday. I hope somebody can help me get to where I need to be I will be eternally grateful. £26500 would clear this for me thank you for reading.

Business idea to pay for vets

Hello, I’m trying to set up a clothing business to support my rent. I’m struggling for money and work isn’t covering the costs that I need to pay. The most important reason I’m doing this is because I have a hamster, she’s getting older now. Because she is older she has got a abscess in her eye on the eyelid fortunately it isnt causing too much irritation however i do nee to take her to the vets and just dont have the money to pay for that. It could be either an irritated hair follicle or something much more serious such as cancer which would need to be removed. Worse case scenario I would have to put her down but I really don’t what it to come to that, she has been such an amazing companion, even though she has an attitude, it would really pain me to have to say goodbye. She is super lively and I just don’t think it’s quite her time to go. im trying everything to get money but i think this is my best bet my business idea is to paint old clothes and resell them, after all a person’s trash is another persons treasure. The paints and medium I need are fairly expensive as well as buying clothes on top. I’d also need to pay a student photographer or something similar to get quality photos of the clothes. My rent is currently £525 without bills and other expenses on top, and I’m really not making enough to support myself. I either need money to pay off my rent or, if it’s more beneficial to buy and sell clothes then i will be doing that. I’m working as much as possible but I’m currently studying at college looking at uni for next year which will add more debt onto myself (why is university so expensive!!). I’m looking to study zoo conservation and wildlife. Once my business is fairly stable and i’m making profit i would like to start donating some profits to conservation work and hopefully volunteering in Africa to help with land and animal management. I was also thinking that i could start painting endangered and extinct animals onto the clothes as a was of spreading the message that we need to be more careful and considerate to the environment and animals. Any amount of money would be greatly appreciated, seriously even a few pounds so that I can buy some basic paint colours and get going.

One pound to Hollywood

Hi there :)

My name is Igor, I am 29. I would like to collect some money for keeping my body in good condition (please :) ). So, hard to find a point to begin a story, anyway I am in need of financial aid. I got some target like 800 pounds, but any donation will be helpful and appreciated. I never was in this kind of situation in life. I had great childhood, then I worked since I was 19/20. I moved to UK, done well, started to build up in life. And from longer time, like mid 2015, I couldn’t work anymore. Then 3 years after (still fast compare to other stories) I found out what’s going on, and what’s making my life hard – I suffer from Lyme disease. Can’t work exactly right now, as I am focused on treatment. And cause I wasn’t able to save some money, or achieve this point of life to have my own belongings like house, some land, decent car etc, as was too little time to make it. And now, I believe that I will come back to work, and to “life” but It will take some time. This 800 can keep me going well on treatment to June, so quite a long. Usually I was on the “other side” – I helped, as I like to help. Anyway, also I will be very happy for loan, as like I mentioned I want to work. Any donation’s will be appreciated. Thank’s upfront,

Igor

I need to get back on my feet.

To paraphrase many other people, I can’t believe I’m on a site like this, writing something like this. However, thank you for reading. I’ll try to keep it brief.

I came to London at 26 to study a degree in music. It was actually a great 3 years and I planned on teaching when I’d finished.

Since then, I have struggled trying to live within a profession that is not respected. Teaching agencies I’ve worked for have paid me late or not at all and I’ve always had to supplement it with bar work or other odd jobs.

My private landlord has always made it difficult for me to get proof of address but finally, I’ve been able to sign on to Universal Credit – what a JOKE it is! I never thought it could be that bad but I tell you now, the Tories and this Universal Credit system IS killing people. I’m lucky to still be young and able-bodied.

I’ve given up my dream of teaching music and even sold all of my guitars (the work had dried up anyway). I’m now signed up to do recruitment agency temp work (but there currently isn’t any) while I desperately try to find something more permanent and sustainable. Universal Credit gives me £500 per month which isn’t even enough for my rent, never mind anything else. I don’t know how they can justify this.

I’m now in 2 months of rent arrears (my landlord has been fairly reasonable so far but it won’t last). I had to get an advance from Universal Credit and they actually make me pay it back at £50 per month! This is supposed to be welfare…

As I write this, I know I’m not going to eat tonight. Maybe I’ve made some bad decisions but I was only trying to do what I wanted to do and have had a willingness to work throughout. I shouldn’t be punished for this. It’s now a cycle I can’t get out of. If an amazing job gets offered to me tomorrow, I probably won’t even have the money for transport or food to make it happen. Even if I start a job, I still have to wait a month before I’ll get paid. I can’t lose my home during that time.

I’ve asked friends and family for help but I come from a working class background and people don’t have a lot.

I’ve got no more options. I’d consider high-end male escort work but I struggle to give it away for free at the best of times (got to keep a sense of humour eh…)

Truth is, I’d need about £750 ASAP to keep afloat. Realistically though, any contribution, however small would help tremendously and even if nothing happens, I guess it hasn’t hurt to ask.

I couldn’t pay you back…but In return, I’d be happy to get in contact with any of you and offer some free guitar lessons if you’re in London. I’ll even help you move! Whatever I can do.

Even if you ask for nothing in return, your generosity would not only support me financially but give me a new perspective and maybe I can help some other people when I’m better able to.

Thank you all, here’s to better times.

Terminally ill bucket list

This is the hardest thing I have ever had to do!
My fiancé and I have had a plan in action since we first knew we wouldn’t be with anyone else as long as we live.

We are getting married in August this year after 3 years of saving. Our honeymoon is a trip to Mexico, which is fully paid for.

Over the course of the next 3 years we planned crossing a few things off our bucket lists.
Visiting many of the wonders of the world and taking in a vast amount of the world’s different cultures.

After 3 years we was planning having another child and expanding our family.

My fiancé turned 30 a few weeks ago, and after 7 months of tests and constant hospital visits we got the outcome.

4 days after her birthday she was diagnosed with 3 different cancers, one of which has started eating away at her ribs.

We now have approx 21 months left together.

I’ve always worked and never bought anything or travelled unless I could pay for it all.

With NO time to save I have resorted to coming here.

I would like to try and visit at the very least the destinations that she had always wanted to go to.

I am here to ask infact BEG for some help.

My aim is to raise around £10,000 to enable us to fulfill her dreams before it’s her time to leave, or at least before she is too weak to travel.

Any donations will be greatly appreciated and all the donations will help a young lady live her dreams, being taken from the world so young is heartbreaking so if I can make it easier for her I will.

I hope there are kind people out there who can help.

Many thanks.

Please Help – I don’t want to let my family down.

Hello,

First of all, I would like to thank you for clicking on my link, it means a lot that you’re considering to help me.

My name is Kira, I am a 21-year-old University student from the UK. I’m studying English and my dream is to become a teacher. In my opinion, it is the most rewarding, humbling career out there and I can’t imagine myself doing anything else.

I am the first member of my family to undertake a university education. My family is by no means well-off, and things have always had to be juggled here and there in order to pay for everything.

I’m going to be honest – I’m not the best at budgeting or finances. I certainly try my best at keeping a check on my spending, but as I am entering my third year of uni, expenses have increased to the point where I’ve had to take out an overdraft. My rent this term has now increased since the estate agent that manages my property has now gone bankrupt. I have exams to sit and pay for this coming summer (I am undertaking an extra A Level as I believe it will increase my chances of getting into the PGCE course I want to), and my overall spending this year has increased. I have tried my best to keep on top of things, my family provide me with what assistance they can – currently, my father sends me £100 a month. This is as much as he can spare as my parents also have my younger brother to provide for, as well as themselves, of course.

I’m extremely apprehensive about the future. I don’t know how or when I’m going to be able to pay off my overdraft debt or undertake the debt of my Masters/PGCE course. I do not want to have to give up on my dreams of becoming a teacher, and I don’t want to leave my family disappointed in me. I have come so far to quit now.

I’ve worked some jobs, all temporary staffing at various retail stores, however, these are not the most generously paid, and the hours, unfortunately, do not work around my study schedule.

I’m asking for donations – however much you can spare will be greatly appreciated – in order to get back on my feet, and relieve the pressure of my financial burdens that my parents (and myself) are currently facing. If you choose to donate I will be forever grateful for your kindness and generosity. If not, I thank you for taking the time to read this.

Thank You.

Emergency Leave

Currently in the Military. Just received a call about family matters back home which I am currently stationed overseas. Military won’t pay for my plane ticket due to the fact it isn’t job related. I haven’t seen my family in over 2 years. My plane ticket is 568$ but it keeps going up by the day. I used a lot of my money due to the fact I had to move off base, which means I had to buy my own appliances. I am stationed in the United Kingdom, so things such as appliances, food, etc, is very expensive here. So please, if anyone can help me or willing to donate some money, I would greatly appreciate it. Family is very important to me, and someone helping me get home in a time like this would mean the world to me. Right now I’m trying to apply for loans but it’s really hard especially being in the UK. It’s a long process and I need to be home as soon as possible. Not only would I use the money to pay for my ticket home but to help my family as well. So please, if anyone is willing to donate some money, that would be great. I don’t ever ask for money, and doing so really tears me down cause I know its your own money that you worked for. So I’m sorry that I am asking for it. Thank you doesn’t describe how much it would mean to me for this. So please, help me if you can, if not, it’s ok too, but please pray for me and my family and keep us in your thoughts.

My paypal is PayPal.me/jamesgill2525

Please email me if you need to, and if you do email me due to the fact of prayers and donations, I will instantly reply as soon as possible. Thank you again everyone.

Young lives matter!

IMG_20190124_143041_921.jpg

Hello, everyone my name is alisha and I am 18 years old. I’m looking for someone to help donate towards helping young lives, I had a very hard life growing up we have always been struggling to get through the day and homelessness is a big big problem here in the UK.

That’s why I am here today because I would like you lovely people to help me and donate toward helping young lives have a chance, especially to help them get a place to live I don’t expect you to understand if you have never been in a similar situation, but , if you have you would understand that it is no laughing matter and the UK is a very cold place so it gets unbearable at certain times of the year and young children cannot cope with the weather situations, its so sad how you can expect a child to sleep in the freezing cold night on the streets so please help them today by donating , even if its only a small amount its always going to help at the end of the day.

It would also be a lovely opportunity if we was to be able to get enough donations to take these lovely kids for a small holiday away from the cold for a sun filled fun weekend to help take their little magical minds off of the pain and suffering they have to endure on a daily basis.

I really hope you understand how serious this matter is and that you could help us today today, you would make a lot of lives much better and you will be able to live with the fact of knowing you potentially saved children’s lives by helping them get food and a place to sleep for the night and warmer clothes and much more of the necessities that they need to get through the day and night you could be the person to fix that for them if you just donate today towards our campaign for young lives matter it would be a lovely opportunity for you to feel good about helping others and the best opportunity for them to get off of these freezing cold harsh winter streets.

If you have a heart and understand what these young children are going through please please please do not hesitate to donate to us here’s the link to do so down below

Hard working single mother to a dear son, and proud carer to my beautiful mother. Secret debt causing anxiety– desperately seeking help to reduce my current debt which I’ve kept from my family in order to protect them. With no other options I have found myself here.

I have always prided myself on being a strong independent woman.

I am a hard-working 30 odd year old single mother to a beautiful and charismatic toddler; he is my pride and joy.
I live close to my mother and help to care for her, as she was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2013.
We are a close nit family and she adores her grandson!

I am currently sitting on an embarrassing, eye watering amount of debt with nothing to show for it.
I work hard, full time and earn a good salary which is sucked into my overdraft every month. (Same for many I’m sure)
Not including my regular monthly expenditure, by debts suck up exactly 89% of my salary.
I fell behind and had to rely on loans when I was made redundant 6 months after my son was born.

I got back up and successfully found employment but a lot of damage was done by that point.
Shortly after I got back into employment my dear mother became ill, and her mobility quickly declined leaving her in and out of hospital.
Given my mother had helped to care for my son; I had to reduce my hours at work so I could then help care for them both, a lot changed very quickly.
Shortly after, my mother was registered disabled, and unable to work leaving her with un-cleared debts which I took on.

My dear mother constantly asked and worried about if I was doing okay with money, and I reassured her I was.  She has no savings or means to help, so to worry her whilst she’s ill does not sit well.
However, I am no longer able to cope; I’m feeling trapped, anxious and helpless.
Today I reached the end of my overdraft and was unable to pick up groceries, which is what has brought me here. This is a scary feeling when you have dependents.  Luckily tomorrow is payday so all will be okay for now.
Not only is this causing insomnia, but it is affecting my mood and in turn my parenting which makes me sad.  And the fact I cannot talk about it is incredibly hard.

I feel like a failure, and ask myself everyday- “how have I worked for 15 years with minus nothing to show!”  I have no idea.
I am a proud woman and have done my best to stay afloat so far but I am now officially drowning.
I have always worked above and beyond to provide for my son. Before his father left he told me I would fail as a mother and a woman. These words suck with me and I have been fighting alone to prove to myself (not him) that he is wrong.  I know I can. But I admit that I need some help. Please.

As I am fortunate enough to be in employment, without the debt, I will be able to comfortably support myself, son and mum. Most importantly I can focus on raising my son and being the best mother I can be.
By no means would I expect my debt to be cleared as I am aware it is an astronomical amount but if I could put a dent in it to reduce my monthly payments or even my overdraft, it would mean I can claw back some of my salary to support my family I would be eternally grateful.
Overdraft- £1889.78
Combined loan, myself and that taken on from mum- £59250 Breakdown available needless to say.
If nothing else, it feels good to let it out / talk / write about it.
Thank you for taking the time.

Desperately need help with Debt

Hi,

Firstly, thank you for just clicking on my story and caring enough to be here. My name is Julia. I am a 23 year old girl just struggling to find my feet. I currently owe upwards of £10,00 in debt. (£2000 in Overdraft debt, £6000 in Bank Debt, £2000+ in Loans). Because of my age you may be thinking that I am in debt due to reckless spending habits. However, that couldn’t be further from the truth.
The truth is I was forced to move away from home at a very young age, due to domestic violence and a very unhealthy environment. I knew absolutely nothing about the financial struggles of the world and had not a penny to my name. I had to figure everything out as I went along and this is what has gotten me in all this debt. It started out as just a £1000 overdraft when I was 16 years old, to help me pay a deposit for my first flat. At 16 I was being paid less than £6 per hour so very soon this turned into a £2000 overdraft to help me pay my bills. And before I knew it I was £10,000 deep in debt, still struggling to pay my bills, every penny I earn going towards debt and bills and no way of investing in my future. At this point I am just desperate for some help so that I can finally get on my feet and start thinking about my future. My aim is to be able to start my own business someday and be able to give back to the community and help young people who are going through something similar.

If you got this far in my story, again thank you. For just caring enough to read it. Hopefully kind people like you can help me.

Thank you for reading,

Julia,x

Abusive ex left me with nothing

God knows if this will actually work but here goes.

I finally had the courage to kick my emotionally abusive boyfriend out of my life in October. We have been together for 2 years and shared a flat for just over that. He is a “musician” and a “producer” and does a lot of freelance work and touring. This meant he didn’t have a lot of money and did a lot of touring. Because of this I would pay most of the bills because he was away a lot. They were apparently my problem to deal with even though he had begged to move in together in the first place. I also took out a credit card in my name for him to use because his credit was so bad ( as I’m writing this I now my own stupidity, I swear it’s so embarrassing) and he rinsed that pretty quick.

He told me me I was fat and useless and ugly and all the other wonderful things a boyfriend should never get away with saying. He cut me off from my family and friends and he made me get rid of my cat.

Once a friend from work finally helped me see the relationship for what it is I ended things and kicked him out but he is refusing to pay back the money he owes me. I know I will never see it from him and I’m doing everything I can to pay it back. It’s becoming a massive burden on my life and I feel like I will never pay it all off. I have just under £1500 left and I could really use the help. I have no one to turn too and my credit is screwed because of him though so I can’t take out a loan. Please help. I need a fresh start and I can’t do that without this looming over me.

Just need enough to get me through the week

Hi there,
Thanks for taking the time to read this, I’ll try and keep it succinct.

For the past 5 years I’ve been struggling with some mental health issues, mainly anxiety and depression, which have kept me from working more than a few times this year. In the past I’ve had to bowwow from payday lenders to keep on my feet, but that well has long dried up now. I am back at work, although only in a temporary state, and I am still struggling with making ends meet, especially this month.

I have no family to call on when things get though and I just need a small amount to get me through the week so I’m counting on any friendly strangers who wish to help. All I’m looking for is no more than £100. What this would be for is to travel to my job this week as I don’t even have enough to cover the travel expense of an extra week in January; food costs, as I’m on one meal a day, usually plain pasta or rice; and an overdue phone bill, which arguably may be the most important thing as I receive over the phone therapy once a fortnight.

I’ve been trying my best to fight through my personal demons and so far I was doing okay, but when I don’t have enough money to get a half decent meal everything from getting on a bus to trying to take a shower becomes an Olympic hurdle, and I’ve been doing it alone up until now.

I really need help, not a lot, just enough to eat and go to work. Any donation would be deeply, deeply. appreciated.

Much love people; if you can’t help me I hope you can help someone else here who is in need.

Harley wish

Hi I’m 65 years of age and was diagnosed with cancer in August 2018, I’ve had an operation and chemo, and now going through the agonising wait to see if it works, one thing that has always been on my wish list was to own and ride a harley, with this on mind I sold my caravan which I used to go on holidays, not getting as much as I hoped for it due to faults on it that I was not aware off, I then sold my truck I used to tow the caravan, again not getting as much as I had hoped, partly my fault due to lack of maintenance and partly due to UK gov making the tests more difficult to pass on diesel vehicles. I honestly don’t see any way forward for me, I’m retired and get a misely £129 pension,which don’t go far, I’ve raised £6000 by selling my assets but am £4000 short, I assumed wrongly I’d get a loan for the rest but for 1 I’m 65 and a pensioner so don’t qualify any more as I’m not working, I’ve never asked anybody in my life for anything, to be honest I don’t know how long I’d get to enjoy the harley hopefully a few happy years who knows, I know the doctors do there best and I’m sure they will for me, if there’s anyone who would like to donate  to my dream I’d appreciate it a lot, and at least when I pass on there will be something of value to be sold to bury me, I’m not pulling your heart strings, just saying as it is, I have had a good life so far and raised some wonderful kids not all my own but you help where you can don’t you,  just age has caught up with me health wise and cash wise, hopefully some one will feel I deserve my wish.  My PayPal is.

Help me save my best friend

IMG_20190118_112859.pngThis is a picture of Julius, he followed me home one day on my way back from work and has been my best friend ever since. I was going through a low in my life when I met him and I believe he’s the reason I’m still here today. I can’t put it down to anything other than him. He saved me, so I have to save him.

He currently has a respiratory tract infection the vet thinks is caused by ulcers in his throat. He dribbles from his nose, his eyes constantly water, he coughs up mucus and he struggles to keep down food.

Apparently RTI’s usually pass within a few weeks but it’s been nearly 2 months and the situation doesn’t seem to be getting better. We have already had one check up with the vet which was £35 by itself just to get him looked at. She told us that it will cost around £70 for a months worth of antibiotics and an additional £35 for another check up (basically a fee for him to sit in the vets office). This may not seem like much but I’m only 17 and still in college and it’s just me and my mum, she cannot afford something like this. She already works so hard to support me through college and I can’t expect her to pay this amount of money, it’s just out of the question.

It is breaking my heart to see my baby in the state he’s in, and I fear I can’t leave it much longer.

I understand how low I’m stooping begging for money on here and I don’t know how many people use this site or if this will get read at all, but to anybody that might see this who may have even have 50p to spare, I’m begging you please find it in your heart to help me save my best friend

Struggling mom of 4 boys

Since having my second son I have suffered on and off with crippling depression and anxiety, but I have the mom life skill of putting a brave front on everything and I feel the outside world couldn’t tell….

Well the cracks are beginning to show, quite literally, my anxiety levels are at their highest point and I feel like the world is suddenly against me. Everything is going wrong.

I have a child who has a form of dwarfism called Russell silver syndrome. He struggles to walk long distances. He is 5 years old and we rely heavily on our car for simple things like the school run, which even though it’s only 0.8 miles from our house he struggles to walk.

The car died! Repair cost was more than value of the car so we are now car-less. This means Monday to Friday I have to walk all 4 boys to school, my 5 year old can’t physically do this so has to go in a pushchair which he hates! It is humiliating for him and terrible for his self esteem but with a 9,7 and 3 year old to also contend with I can’t carry him half way when he gets tired and walk safely by the roads with the other three.

The celing in the boys bedroom is also on the brink of caving in and I have debts coming out of my eyeballs from trying to keep the family afloat.

My husband works long hours away from home and barely sees the kids but barely brings enough money home to cover our homes running costs. The work life balance for him is so poor I may as well be a single parent. He’s never around, but we have no choice but for him to work.

My sons disability has been declined at renewal which has left us £500 a month worse off so in even more of a dire situation than before. We can’t afford the nursery fees for me to go out to work too either.

We have no savings to replace either the car or repair the damaged celing which I’m constantly worried will cave in at any moment.

I feel like everything is piling on top of me and while money doesn’t buy happiness, in my life and for my mental wellbeing it would go a mighty long way in easing the stresses.

My sons are picking up on my low mental mood and sadness and I don’t want them to worry about mummy being sad all the time or to worry about what we can and can’t afford. I want them to enjoy being children.

Mental health breakdown & can’t work

Hello to anyone reading this – thank you for clicking on the link!

I am a young woman in the UK and I am really struggling to stay afloat. Having had quite bad health for the last several years, my employment has been very stop/start and I have relied on credit cards to sustain my life and pay bills up to this point.

Now, I am at an all time low and can’t afford to keep going. Being fortunate to live in the UK, I am given free access to a GP but all other support is at a cost – therapist, counselling etc all costs and whilst I am too unwell to work, this isn’t something I can do.

I’ve recently been put on an additional kind of medication which is a sedative and the dosage is 4x per day, so most of the day I am either asleep or fighting hard to stay awake.  This makes it impossible to find a job, even if I was mentally ready to do so.  I am just such a burden on my family and friends and I can’t see how I can unburden them and contribute positively to their lives if I carry on like this.

 

My partner and I suffered two miscarriages in 2018 and I was then found to have pre-cancerous cervical cells. This has been hopefully sorted, but the miscarriages have taken a huge toll and I am lost.

Mental health is a a serious issue that affects a lot of people and I know that I am not alone in this situation, and I do not expect special treatment.  If a little bit of financial help could be provided – if you are in a position to be able to help – it would quite literally save my life and give me the opportunity to get better and ultimately get back to work and pay it forward. 

 

If you do feel that you would like to donate to me, for rent, food, prescriptions, therapy sessions etc. I would be forever eternally grateful.

Bring someone joy

Hi, thank you for reading.

I’ve come on this site to see if anyone with a bit of spare money might help someone whos struggling.

I’m a female (in the UK) struggling all my life with mild aspergers, social anxiety and depression. Now 34, years of hardships, rejections, aloneness, & failures have led me to clinical depression & troubled mental health. Also, not able to form any intimate relationship all my life, now at this age I’m feeling very hopeless. I had a two month turbulent, emotionally tormenting relationship last summer that led me to a break down, it was someone I really wanted to spend my life with, because of my mental health I’m unable to be with anyone. Since then I’ve been clinically depressed & suffer Post traumatic stress disorder. I only leave the house for food or my part time job. Otherwise I sit in sadness and haplessness, feeling a failure– no family of my own, career, home, lifestyle, my distant remaining friends all have achieved this. Every year I’ve tried to achieve something whether it be to find my ‘purpose’, or increase my finances, or to meet someone who wants to share life with me. However every year I fail at any goals. In younger days my youth gave me resilience to get back up trying again. Now I’m 34, I’ve ended up loosing my job and now have menial part time work. I rent but my shifts have dropped so barely can afford rent let alone any life. Im not stupid, im not incapable I’m sure I have gifts somewhere inside, Im just sad, & have no hope of being any use.

My one main goal in life was to find someone to spend my life with, all other things are just a bonus. After parting from the last guy I’ve lost all will to participate in life.

My request is for one thing that may bring me some light in life. I would like to go away to California, where the sun shines and people have hope and creativity, and are active and inspiring. I really want to roller blade along the side walk and just feel free of pain & crap & torment. & meet people who’ll inspire me maybe. I used to enjoy taking photos of buildings etc but it’s been drained away too. If I went, I’d love to capture everything and would be happy to share the photos with anyone that can help, as a gift in return. I’d be so grateful to have enough money to stay in California for a bit, to maybe ignite some joy in me.

I don’t believe in asking people to give to me but I believe in return maybe I’ll have something to give back somehow at a later stage. My photo-me 10 years ago.

Thank you for listening, if you wish to donate here is my account paypal.me/EBlossomstones

Please help us get back on our feet;

Hi everyone. I am Suze, I’m 31 and mother to a beautiful 5yr old girl and 5 month old boy. I’ll do my best to explain our story and I hope that some of you will maybe recognise our difficulty at this time.

I separated from my partner when my son was just 7weeks old. There had been a lot of emotional and verbal abuse, mainly centred around me not bringing in enough money. I was working full time in domicilary care throughout my pregnancy, working 40hrs (up to 60+ if you include the travel time) plus 2 sleep ins per week. I then found out our money issues were in fact due to his coke addiction; which stupidly, I knew nothing about; and had to ask him to leave.

unfortunately I am now living in a house I can not afford, and due to bedroom tax and the rules about not assisting people who make themselves voluntarily homeless, the help I receive only covers the average rent of a 2 bedroom and I can not hand my notice in to get help from the council.

i was also left in quite a bit of Débt. I managed to pay the rent arrears myself, but at the sacrifice of having no presents for the children at Christmas. My son didn’t get one gift for his first ever Christmas. I don’t think I’ll ever forgive myself that. I have got bailiffs knocking so most days I either leave the house, or stay in my room with the baby and refuse to answer the door.

Now I am 2 months behind with my personal loan and 2 months behind in rent. Because I started my maternity early due to sciatica, my maternity is being reduced by half, in 3 months it will stop completely. I desperately want to get back to work, but I simply cannot put any money away for child care whilst I’m struggling to get out of this whole.

we do not have food in the house, last week my daughter had to make the 2 90 minute round walks to and from school because I didn’t have £10 to put in the car. Our rent is due in 5 days and I have nothing to give her. I’m seriously considering escorting as my last means. I hate the idea, I hate to think what my children would think. But my pride is now non existent, the fact I can not get us out of this situation without help is a very hard pill to swallow. Please, if anyone can help us out in anyway, it would honestly change our lives.

Thank you so much for your time reading this. Please know. This is a last resort; I will not be laying down and relying on others… I will get out of this with the help of strangers but I will ensure we stay out of this situation On my own. I just need a bit of help to get me on my way to provide the best life I can for my kids x

Family illness & job loss debt

Hi there!

My name is Francesca and I’m on here to ask you lovely people for a little bit of cash so that I can pay off my debts. This last year (2018) was difficult for me and the family. My father has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and although we live in the U.K. so the NHS is free, things like wheelchairs and home adjustments (stairlifts etc) are expensive. We’ve never been a very wealthy family and so I have had to get a credit card out to pay for the things needed quickly. Towards the end of 2018 I also lost my job, luckily I’m quite motivated and have just got a new job offer which I start at the end of Jan (thankfully) but I won’t receive any pay until the end of Feb, so until then, I’m scrambling a little. I have my credit card bill, car insurance as well as rent and other bills to pay which I can’t afford! I would love it if there is anyone out there willing to help, it’s all causing me a lot of stress, on top of the mental stress that comes from my dad having Parkinson’s. It’s an awful disease and it’s incredibly difficult watching him slowly waste away and be no longer able to do so many things.

I am only really looking for around £800 (or whatever that is in dollars if you’re from the U.S.) just to get me back on track until the end of Feb, but of course anything you could give would be amazing. I appreciate you taking the time to read this and if anyone donates I would be forever grateful. Thank you.

Grandparents 24 hour care

Hello to anyone reading this, I’ve never thought to give this a go but now in my time of need I’m willing to try anything. I’m currently struggling to help pay my grandparents care bills as well as my own morgatge despite working 52 hour weeks and more when my siblings are able to look after my grandparents, my Nan back in 2008 suffered through breast cancer and incredibly beat it but at the cost of losing her breasts, it came as no matter though as the strong lady she is she battled through and made no fuss telling me it was a blessing she was strong enough to beat it an continue to see her grandchildren grow, however that all came crashing back down in 2011 when she relapsed and in 2015 she suffered a heart attack. My Grampa has worked his entire life after coming out of the army and now at the of 75 is no longer as young as he once was, when my Nan relapsed back in 2011 was when my grampas health became apparent and he came became increasingly more confused and forgetful, after many years of thinking it was just stress related due to his wife of 48 years at that time suffering a relapse he was actually diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and dementia, this has been a disease that has only gotten worse with time and is almost impossible to leave him alone with observation. Due to the complications of cancer and a heart attack as well as my grampas dementia and Alzheimer’s they between them lack the ability to do everything by themselves safely therefore me and my brother took it upon ourelves to help them as they have done to us our entire lives, however despite both working full time we are struggling to fund the care they both require when our shifts clash. Any small or large donation is highly appreciated In giving them both the care and support they both need with qualified nurses to ensure they are safe and well within there own home.

Disabled & can’t do a normal job

Hi there.  My name is Lynda & I’m disabled.  I’m unable, due to health problems to work a ‘normal’ job.

I’m Asexual, so don’t have a boyfriend/husband/partner to financially contribute/help.  I suffer from: Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Type 3, Essential Tremor, PTSD & I’m an ‘Aspie’.   Having all these health problems makes life very difficult & frought with complications.  On a 24 hours a day/7 days a week/365 days a year basis I have chronic pain/chronic fatigue/easy joint dislocations/stress/anxiety/depression/tremor in left hand (which is like Parkinson’s Disease)/sleep problems etc…  My conditions are life long & progressive.

I do try to earn money online through being an Avon Rep (with a difference)/Body Shop At Home Consultant (with a difference)/being a Reiki Grand Master etc…  But getting an income online is a LOT harder than most would think.  I’ve been trying for MANY years already.  I certainly don’t earn enough to live off/pay bills etc…

I’m anti begging for money as a whole, but don’t have any real option.  As I live alone, it’s just me & my elderly pet cat.

I will always add you to my Reiki healing lists/setups in return for any funds received.

Trying so hard!

Hi, this is me at my most desperate and here is why. Three years ago my children’s dad and I split up, after he left I found out he had been keeping all our money instead of paying the bills, I started getting nasty letters and bailiffs showing up at my door, I was working full time but I could not afford to pay the debts on top of the daily bills and feed my two daughters, then the worst happened, we got evicted, I grew up in the care system so I had no family to turn to for help, my girls and I became homeless, we sofa surfed for two years and struggled so hard but i finally got the well paid job I had been working towards, I became a children’s residential care officer! My girls and I found a nice little flat perfect for us and affordable with my new job, we could breath again and we were happy, but now I am scared it will all happen again, my job is a zero hour contract as I am a relief worker (bank staff) this didn’t matter at first because I was getting lots of hours but then they hired loads more staff and I find myself begging for shifts constantly only to find the Rota is full! I can’t make ends meet, I am looking for a new job which breaks my heart as this was my dream job I worked towards for years and i am halfway through an amazing qualification that comes with the job and sets you up very well for the future. In the meantime my bills are piling up and I’m starting to drown in stress, I havn’t told my girls because i can’t bare for them to go through this again and i don’t know what to do, I have nobody I can turn to, it is me and my girls against the world but the world keeps kicking us down no matter how hard I try! I am so scared,  being homeless was such a dark time and my girls deserve better. Please if anyone can help us I would be eternally grateful and when I am back on my feet I will pay it forward and help others too!

Can’t do this any more

Hello there sir/madam I appreciate you reading this I will get straight into it right.

i am a 21 year old man with Aspergers and I’m unemployed as I am not fit for work this makes it difficult to try and support my self financially as I don’t get a lot of money this is a problem as my bills take all the money I have and sometimes more this is why I’m asking for £50,000 this will go alone way and make me debt free  as I am in debt of £25000 from bills this built up over a long time so I got a Iva so I can afford to pay my debts but it doesn’t stop the bills rolling in £50,000 would help me to pay off the Iva and the other half would go towards something I can make money like cloud mining bitcoin etc so I would get a some of bitcoin each month and exchange it to pay my bills I would also create a account with wleathify this is a company who makes a investment portfolio and managers it for you I would also do property investment like a hotel room or a office  their are companies who manage it for you and pay every month your profit so that’s what I would do with the money those 4 things pay of debt and those 3 investment ideas I just mentioned. how would the money change my life well first I would make me less stressed don’t worrying about money as I suffer from depression and anxiety because of my Aspergers which stops me doing thing I want to do but can’t this money would also help my mood and make me feel happy and I can start to get on with my life so I get eventually be independent and can cope on my own because at the minute I am always at home because I am scared to go outside I find it difficult to cope the money would help me relax a bit and gain trust with other human beings that not everyone is bad and evil I have been bullied through most of my school and college life and I really need some faith in society to make me realise that this will make a big difference to my life and the people around me who worry about me

many thanks Alex

Family Need Own Home

Hi everyone. This isn’t something I ever thought I would do but here I am.

My family consists of myself, my wife and my 3 daughter’s. The eldest being 8 and the youngest is 1. I work full-time as a lorry driver and my wife works part-time in a shop. I cannot do any more hours due to hgv regulations and my wife is in the situation of not being able to do more hours due to the affordability of extra childcare.

Having lived in our rented house for the last 4 and a half years, we have just been given the bad news that our landlady is selling the house and we will have to move out.

My wife and I have now begun the arduous task of finding another place to live but being a family of 5, we need at least a 3-bed house and these are in short supply on the rental market.

This was led to us starting to look at buying our own house. And this is what has led to me writing this. We are hoping for donations towards our deposit.

Due to bad life choices in my twenties (spend now and think later) I have a very poor credit rating. I am in the process of getting this back on track by gradually paying back my debts but it’s a slow process and my credit rating is not moving quickly enough.

Due to my poor credit rating, mortgage lenders are requiring a larger deposit than the usual 5-10% and this is leaving us in a catch-22 situation. Do we put more money aside to save for the deposit or do we continue to try and pay my creditors off? If we pay the debts off at the current rate, we can’t afford to save for the deposit. To be perfectly honest, we are already going to struggle to raise the money to fund a rental move.

As it is looking like we have less than six months to find somewhere we are at a time-critical stage.

And this is why I have turned to this site. I am literally clutching at straws by trying this but we have nothing to lose by trying.

If anybody could find it in their heart to help us out, it would be appreciated more than you could ever imagine.

Thank you for reading this and If you have any questions for me then feel free to contact me.

If you are willing to donate towards this then here is my PayPal.me link.

A ray of hope m

hello  I am VANESSA ,life growing up what quite tough , bullied at secondly school , till it got that bad I left without taken my exams , which I never understory did why wasn’t anything done .

my live then seemed to settle when I met my husband , we had 7 children together , we open our own business , and for a short time things where good , until our shop was burgled , and burnt down .

After that depression set in , and husband was violent to me ,

this went on behind close doors for a few year ,

but never a less we seemed help and moved on together

a few years on we were starting to look forward to some time together after bringing up a large family but tragic struck , 2 Christmas s ago , my husband was rushed into hospital , and we where told he had heart failure . And where looking T about 5 year to live

My last resort

Hi I’m Maeve and I’m 22. Last year, I had to drop out of university because I was raped by my ex boyfriend. I was offered no support or help so had to leave, leaving all of my life goals and dreams there.

I decided to make a life for myself after leaving and that wasn’t staying in my hometown (there are no opportunities there) and move to London for an amazing job. Sadly, I became very sick and almost committed suicide, losing my job in the process. I never ask my family for help, or anyone really.

The main reason I don’t ask my family is because they can’t afford it – my brother has cancer and is life limited so all money goes to him and his care. Since losing my job, I have been from waitress to nanny, trying to salvage money.

Last month I was asked to leave my current house because I was assaulted here by the same person who raped me. I have managed to find a house but all of the money I have left has gone to rent. Now I’m panicking and searching for another job like no tomorrow. My mental health is taking its toll and I’ve been scrolling the internet on how to get quick money. I don’t want to resort in selling my body. I’ve already been degraded enough.

I am trying to find a job. I’m trying but I’m scared and I don’t want to be another statistic. If anyone can be kind and spare even £1, it would mean the world to me. I really want to get better and forge a life for myself without hurt and worry. I will do anything in return.

Desperate help needed

Hiya, it’s making me cringe even having to write this but I guess it’s a last desperate resort. My husband lost his job in November, I went full time at my job but now the quiet period of the New year has arrived they don’t have many hours for me and after I’ve paid my rent today I have a whole £7 to my name to last me the week; there’s hardly any food in the house, my son is 16 months old and still in nappies and we’re down to our last half a pack. I only got 8 hours of work this week so next Friday will be even worse and I’m not even going to be able to cover the basic bills nevermind food. I don’t have any family or friends I could borrow off, I’m already a month behind on my loan payments which I’ve cancelled with the bank so we could afford to eat through December so now I’m terrified they’re going to show up at my door any day now they’ve reopened after Christmas etc. Our gas and electric bill haven’t been paid since November either and my anxiety is through the roof that even if I or my husband manage to get a new job soon then all of this will have mounted up so much we’ll be in even more debt.

I start a law degree next month but because I’m doing it through distance learning I won’t get any student loans for living costs so even that won’t help and as my husbands struggling to get work it looks like I’ll be doing full time for the foreseeable future. I’ve already sold off anything we own of any worth and swapped gift cards we got at Christmas for gift cards we could use at supermarkets but it’s just not enough.

If it was just us I wouldn’t mind so much as we could cope with not eating much and sitting in the dark if the electric gets cut but our sons too young to cope with that or to understand what’s happening. Please can anyone help?

I’ve composed a list of all the things I need to do:
– buy food for the next few weeks
– toddler essentials such as nappies
– pay the electric and gas bill
– hopefully make a payment of some sort towards my loan
– make my rent next week

Only living to work – only just scrape rent/bills each month

Hi all,

I feel incredibly embarrassed that I am on here asking for help – but I genuinely feel like there is no other option.

I am in my twenties (where you’re meant to be enjoying life!) and I can’t even afford to eat or see my friends or buy myself things or treat my parents, who are nothing but amazing to me. I am constantly at the end of my overdraft every month and I can’t get out of it and it upsets me no end, and I feel as if I’ll never get out of it.

I understand people are in worse positions and it’s awful – but I need the help. My mental health really does depend on it.

Long story short. A few years back I had a lot of savings and I was in good credit. I had an ex boyfriend who was extremely calculated and manipulative. He didn’t have a job, and he came up with all these suggestions and I was stupid enough to listen to. He promised the world to me – and maxed out my credit card, made me take out multiple payday loans and made me quit my job (of 6 yrs) on the promise of a new one and a better life.

I know that was my fault and I was so so stupid to listen to him. My parents ended up bailing me out and now I owe them thousands of pounds. Even sold my car (that I paid for all on my own) to give them some money back. And it still wasn’t enough. I have been almost suicidal at points.

Since then my finances have been in a downward spiral – and I cannot borrow as my credit score is extremely poor as you can imagine.

I’ve put my long suffering parents through hell – they aren’t rich at all and my dream is to pay them back. I have 5 nephews and I’d like to be able to treat them now and then. I’d like to have a life.

I have moved out and trying to live an independent life with a full time job I really enjoy (I also part time study) but it barely pays enough for me to make ends meet.

Anything I would be extremely grateful for. I want to be able to get a better paying job after I finish my degree and live a better life. But for now – I want to stop stressing everyday of my life and be financially and emotionally healthy.

I owe my parents about £4k now.

Thank you so much.

My Ex-Wife Took Everything

When I met my wife, both she and I were divorced, and I took her and her five-month-old baby daughter into my home. We married four years later. My job (though incredibly stressful and which necessitated me commuting from North to South on a weekly basis) brought an affluent lifestyle. My wife was a housewife, her little daughter called me Dad  –  and I loved her as if she were my own.

But, eventually, my workload made me tired and withdrawn, while she enjoyed a circle of new friends and slowly built a life without me. Sometimes I felt like a stranger in my own home.

After eight years together, including four years of marriage, I decided that I could not go on travelling up and down the motorway, living out of suitcase during the week. So I asked my wife if she would consider us moving nearer to my work, thereby reducing my travelling. I felt that I needed to spend more time with her and our daughter, but she wouldn’t entertain it  –  and within weeks had engaged a very expensive solicitor (whom I was to pay for) who wrote to me (at my hotel) asking for a divorce.

When we got together, she had nothing. Her ex gave her nothing, was unemployed and gave nothing towards Child Maintenance. I helped sort out her long standing credit card debt and loans. She had always said that we didn’t need a prenuptial agreement because she had too much respect for me to consider taking me to the cleaners if we split  –  and in any case, she assured me she loved me so much that this would never happen. How stupid I was.

I ended up having to give my house (worth £270,000) to her, on the basis that her daughter was a ‘child of the family’. The other option was to pay ongoing maintenance for the next ten years as well as a substantial lump sum.

So, after only four years of marriage I ended up losing the house and all my savings by the time I’d paid off the outstanding mortgage. I also had legal costs of £14,000 to pay, and had to move into rented accommodation, while she had the four-bedroom house. To top it all I then lost my job due to my health and the stress that the whole situation had created and now find myself in more debt than my ex had when I first met her.

And just to rub salt into the wound, I’ve tried to keep in touch with the little girl I treated as my daughter but never hear back from her. She sent an email saying she never talks about me, doesn’t miss me and she doesn’t want her to have anything to do with me; she’s met a new man and tells me not to contact her or her daughter again.

It turns out that she had been having an affair with her ‘new man’ since prior to us getting married.

How, in what I believed was a civilised society, is it possible for this to happen and people behave in such uncaring and selfish ways? I’ve tried to be balanced, but it is very difficult when I’ve been financially wiped out by a greedy and callous lady. I know nothing can change my situation but somehow I find it helps to share the pain of my story.

Having gone from having everything I ever wanted to nothing in the space of 2 years, I have learnt not to trust love.

With help from my family I’m now trying really hard to turn my life around. I’ve got a new job, But now have debts of over £27,000. It’s as though I’m now working for nothing and just making minimum payments to pay off interest.

I was advised by my sister not to lose faith in people and to give this a go.

If you can, please try to help me get rid of this debt by donating anything you can afford.

Thank you for reading this.

Daily I walk around my small town with a thought bubble over my head: “Person Ruined By Divorce.” When I look at other people, I automatically form thought bubbles over their heads. “Happy Couple With Stroller.” “Innocent Teenage Boy With His Whole Life Ahead Of Him” . . . “Young Kids Kissing Publicly.” Then every so often I see one like me, one of the shambling gaunt man, looking older than he is: “Divorced Man Wondering How It Happened.”

Random act of kindness

Hi, so a little background. I was living at my dad’s with my 4 daughters, their dad lived at his parents. He had gambling problems in the past so I didn’t want to financially commit to him. So I was working 27 hours (still am) and receiving tax credits at about 170 per week. I was saving a bit each month and still able to get by with paying bills and everything we needed. I worked hard to pay off old debts which ruined my credit also. Fast forward to last year, he promised he had wised up and I agreed to move in with him. I lost my tax credits naturally as our income was combined and my outgoing ms increased along with I had 4 children at school who I have to pay dinners for (which is actually very expensive) My savings disappeared on the house, he wasn’t contributing and gambled what he should have set aside for his share of bills,he took some drugs and now we are finished as I have a zero tolerance. I borrowed to get by for Christmas from family who now want it back, I have the gas and electric bill due last week and the rates bill due today and I quite literally have £1.62 in the bank until 21st January. My daughter turns 10 on the 15th January and although I can reorganize my finances from my next payday by cutting back and making lunches I genuinely have no idea how I am getting through tomorrow never mind the month. I am so ashamed that I haven’t been able to pay back my family. I’m ashamed that again I have to throw together meals from whatever is in freezer and cupboards. I can’t sleep or relax with it all hanging over me. I never thought money was the be all as I was happy getting by but I have never been in this position before and I’m also ashamed that I have had to Google search to find a site like this requesting strangers to help.

A chance for a better life!

Hi, there. I am 22 years old. I have decided to keep my real name private as I fear people I know will find out my story.First of all let me tell you a little bit about me…  I was born in a small town in Lincolnshire, when I was about 3 months old my parents moved me from that town to a small village in Surrey.Growing up I went to a normal school, I had many siblings and I had the typical interests and hobbies of any typical early 00s child. However there’s something about my childhood I’ve kept secret for many years…From as long as I could remember my parents (particularly my mother) would Physically and Mentally abuse me. I was victim to many beatings as a child, I was punched, kicked, strangled, had my hair pulled, spat on… Then particularly my mother would mentally abuse me… she would humiliate me in front of people, degrade me sexually and basically would tell me on a regular basis that I was worthless and meant nothing to her. Shortly after my 16th Birthday my mother kicked me out on to the street, I had nothing but the clothes on my back and have struggled to try and build a life for myself since. The past 6 years have been a struggle with housing, managing relationships, issues with debt.I haven’t seen or heard from my family in almost 6 years.I know you may be wondering why I’m raising money… basically because in my life I’ve been given no chances or opportunities. I’ve struggled with serious PTSD, anxiety and depression as a result of my childhood and would really like to progress with my future, and finally have a reason to move forward and strive. I really love dogs and have recently started to walk them… it’s something that I really enjoy doing, (as I suffer with social anxiety it’s difficult to be around people but with dogs I don’t feel like that) and I would love to set up my own business as a dog walker. I’m trying to raise funds for a car so I can get to clients and then other funds to help set up my business logo, business cards and mentoring etc. I know there are causes a lot more worthy than mine, and I know just because I had a bad childhood doesn’t mean I deserve to get this opportunity but I’m just hoping someone could read my story and empathise with me, and be willing to help me out. All I’ve ever wanted in life is a chance, a way to move forward and progress. I’ve been to college and applied for uni but not found anything that I enjoy as much as dog walking and just being around dogs. I really hope someone can feel something from my story.

Can some amazing people help give my 3 daughters the start to the year thay deserve

Hi.

My name is Anton I’m 35 and from the uk i live in social housing with my partner & my three beautiful daughters (lily age3 / jasmine age2 & issey 10months).

I’m asking for donations to help give my children the year thay deserve as we had an awful Christmas.

I broke my back in 2015 and had to give up my profession as a builder and move on to welfare witch was hard anuff but it was also the year my first daughter was born so money became tight and the bills started racking up. We struggled but always managed to survive but as the years have gone on we’ve managed to keep on top of the bills ect, but since breaking my back me and my partner have never  been out together as a couple without the children we love them with all our hearts but sometimes we could do with a couple of hours to remember that me and my partner love each other and not just robots stuck in the never ending routine we would ask family members babysit but we no longer speak due to domestic problems.

Also I would like to make some amazing memories with my children that thay could remember for life but with my situation at the moment I financially can’t afford it witch breaks my heart as we’ve never been able to do anything with them.

So most days there stuck in the house board witch is awful for a child and makes me feel totally useless as a father.

Iv always been a proud man and never asked for help but things are starting to spiral and really could do with some kind hearted help as iv tryed every option available to help my family to a better life.

So if you can help thank you from the bottom of my heart from me and my family…..thank you <3

Help me regain money lost from lending to a so called friend

Hi, over a period of 7 months I’ve been lending money to a so called friend who told me he was homeless. I tried to help him as much as possible by lending him money so he could get somewhere to stay.

He kept showing me texts and photos for proof that he’d be getting the money back from various sources so that he could pay me back. However, these were all lies and none of it was true. He has now deleted his Facebook account, which was my only way of contacting him and hasn’t paid me any of my money back.

I’m now left in a really bad situation, my credit card is maxed out, I have a £21000 loan which I took out in order to try and get me back on track and I’m at the limit of my overdraft. I know it was stupid of me to lend this amount of money to someone when it put me in such a bad position, but I trusted him, and because it was over a period of months, it didn’t seem as bad as lending him that amount in one go (as each month I thought I’d be getting at least some of it back). That’s the kind of person I am, I always try to see the good in people and always try to help people if I can, but this time I went too far and I’m now suffering for it.

I literally have nothing left each month and am getting charged each month too because of all this debt I’m in. For the last 3 months (since I’ve stopped lending him money) I’ve literally been scraping by month by month and I’m struggling to afford food or anything else I need e.g. new shoes, clothes etc. I’m scared that I’m going to lose my house and car if this carries on, which I’ve worked so hard for!

In total he owes me £32000, is there any chance you could help me? Even if I don’t manage to raise the full amount, I’d still be greatly appreciative. Receiving this money would mean the world to me, you’d be allowing me to get out of this depression and start to enjoy my life again.

Here’s some of the images he sent me as proof, which never materialised:
33684584_1544132214726390_r.jpeg(A cheque for £30000 addressed to his Dad which he said would transfer to me after it cleared, but he didn’t.)

33684584_1544132289307381_r.jpeg(Supposedly an email from the job centre to me which states that the money he was getting from them had been sent, but again this wasn’t true)

Many thanks,

Chris

No where else to go

Never in my life did I ever expect to be asking people online for money, but here goes nothing.

It all started at the beginning of this year. How ironic, considering it’s the last day of the year. But anyway. Things where going good for me, emotionally. It has never gone well with money for me. I started out the year with a boyfriend, family, a good job and a home. Now I’m finishing the year with nothing. I lost my job due to medical reasons, my anxiety and depression. I’ve tried to take my life several times. But have always realised what I’m doing. My family want nothing to do with me due to asking for there help all the time and wanting their attention. You see, I was in care. So never really had a relationship with my family. My relationship with my boyfriend dosnt exist anymore. Due to argument after argument. So he left.

Im on my own. I’m 23 with nobody and nothing.

I work a weekend job, 12 a fortnight. And earn between £60-£90 every 2 weeks. With that I have to pay my rent which is £400 a month, food for myself for the month as I’ve been living off of the food bank for ages and electricity. I’ve been living on the bare minimum for just under a year now and it’s been so long since I’ve had my food cupboards full.

All I’m asking for is a little help getting back on my feet, so I can prove to people that I’m NOT a failure. If your still reading I want to personally thank you. Please understand that I would never ask strangers for help unless I had no other choice

I’m my future if love to go to college and study science. So that’s what I’m aiming for, but first I need to sort myself out.
Thank you again for reading this.

If you don’t feel like I deserve help, then that’s okay. It wouldn’t be the first time I’ve been told that.

I’ve hit rock bottom and it’s not my fault please help

Hello,

This is kind of embarrassing for me as I’ve also been the person people have come to for support and help I have never turned away from anyone but it seems like I have no one to help me when I am in need, a few years back I took a family member in because they had no where to go, I fed them clothed them put a roof over their head all I asked for was they seek professional help to get them back on their feet but what I got back was credit cards taken out under my name, catalogues and loans this initially resulted to around £20000. believe it or not the family member in question was my brother he had fled and moved to a different city leaving me in debt I could not afford I was living with my partner at the time and my daughter who was only 2 my priorities went from just the rent and food and bills to also trying to clear all the debt, I have struggled and struggled with no help offered, I barely drink I don’t smoke I don’t do drugs I work 50 hours a week have my daughter 4 days a week because me and my then partner have split due to the stress of all of this I have had to move back to my parents house. I still have to pay my way but I just can’t not see the light at the end of the tunnel.

 

I love my brother considering the hardship he has put me in I will never forgive him for what he has done it’s not just financial hardship i have I am now suffering depression, anxiety and sleep deprivation due to all the worry I’m scare someone will knock on my door and demand my personal belongings or my daughters that I just can not give.

 

Even with everything my brother has done I have not gone the police because he is still my brother I have cleared about £10,000 of the debt leaving me with about £10,000 left I know this is a long shot but the way I’m feeling I am willing to try anything right now.

 

If there is anyone out there that can help I promise I will return the favour. I just want my life back I want to be able to open my mail and not worry about a debt collector or a ccj coming through the door I want to be able to start saving again for a mortgage so my daughter can say that my house. I want give a real smile instead of pretending everything is okay.

I have attached an email that I have received on a email address my brother has created that is just one there are another 17 just like it from quick quid to littlewoods, capital one, loans2go and others.

 

Please help even if it’s advice I am open to anything.

Need to get out of this rut

I’m a young 22 year old male in dire need of financial help. I have spent most of my life worrying too much about what other people think. Social anxiety has been my closest enemy for as long as I can remember. I always find myself struggling in social situations to this day. For instance, something as simple as meeting people and saying hello to them is like surviving an attack by a wild animal. It’s a situational thing though, as I don’t feel much anxiety when I’m accompanied by my brother and a few close friends of mine, which is really not a good thing. It’s a different story when I’m out by myself, that’s when s**t hits the fan. I don’t even get out of the house that often, let alone go to work. That’s how bad it is for me. As a matter of fact, I’m always dependant on someone or something. If I were to go to work, I wouldn’t last longer than a week without feeling overwhelmed to the point I can’t even function, which results to panic attacks. My big struggle is to carry on spending time with the same people for a longer period of time. For example, going to University, communicating and connecting with my classmates is nearly impossible. The more days go by, the harder it is for me to continue, which is why I had to drop out and as a result, I missed out on two years of studies. Under those circumstances, I tend to isolate myself quite often, which leads to constant negative self talk. I’ve tried different approaches to work on dissolving my social anxiety by going out and trying various exercises. It would seem as if there were minor successes, but if something didn’t go as planned in my head, I would beat myself up all the way back to ground zero and starting all over with the harsh self talk. All this became a never-ending cycle and caused me a lot of depression, almost to the point where I wanted to end my life. And this has been going for years now, and it seems impossible to get out of. I’ve done a lot of research on how I can beat this, and after a lot of trial and error, I came across a few services, in the form of coaching, in order to help with my anxiety, and just my social life in general. But they seem to be a lot more than what I can afford. One of them reaches up to £2000, which covers how to deal with social anxiety itself on a practical level, containing multiple packages, and it is in London, closer to where I live. And another one is about the same price, which also covers about the same, but it is more immersive than the other, and more personal, but outside of London. I don’t have anyone I know that I can ask the finances from. This is the only way I could reach out for donations.

I’m asking for a donation of £4000. Some of them which cover my travel expenses.

To sum it all up, I just wanna be free of all anxiety and I want to live life on my own terms. I want to meet people, make deep connections, build successful businesses and so much more. Enough of the negative self talk, enough not being able to do things I want because of what other people think. Enough surviving, but just living.

I can’t emphasize enough how much I need this.

Thanks for your time! :)

Ashamed to have to ask for help.

Hello,

My name is Yasmin.

im so ashamed and embarrassed that I have got to such a low that I have to come and ask others for help :( .

I live in the United Kingdom with my son and partner. He works full time and I stay home to look after our son who only gets a few hours of preschool a week (he’s 4). I’m not really sure how best to explain the situation & how bad it is. We have just had bad luck at every single turn. Bad landlords ,losing our home etc and all causing us to fall further and further behind on bills etc.. not to mention the debt. :( On top of everything my partner has had to take a huge cut in pay which again has had a huge effect on what we now owe, but is looking for a new job with better pay/prospects.

If we could catch up with everything and get ahead we could start fresh and manage it all and start to pay off our debt which is probably around £7,000.

We reached our lowest point this Christmas after not being paid properly and previous to that no pay for 3 weeks meant more bills we fell behind on again & all we could do was pay the rent :’( I had £40 left and I hadn’t even been able to buy anything for Christmas. I’m at breaking point now with regards to mental health etc and I just don’t know where to turn anymore. The last thing I ever expect is help because, it’s my mess.. but I feel like no matter how hard I try, it’s getting worse. I tried to apply for a loan as well to pay everything off but just have the one single payment, but unfortunately I wasn’t able to get it.

I have never done this before so I’m unsure of how it works. I have so much paperwork etc I couldn’t post anything specific on here to show the extend of where I am at with the bills.. I’m more than happy if it’s possible to show people individually if requested or if you’re able to contact on here.. I’m not sure.

That’s just the shortened version of what’s going on. As I’ve said, I’m really so embarrassed about this and don’t want anyone thinking I’m a bad person, I’m just at a total loss and if anyone would be able to help in anyway, I would be forever grateful & hope that once we are in a better place, I can one day help someone else in my position.

Thank you for taking the time to read this far, I really appreciate it. X

Just my story

Hi, my name is Nadia.

I don’t really don’t why I am doing this, and don’t think I am really legitimate to ask for help to people I don’t even know.

I am probably doing this because I feel I need to share my story. I don’t have any charity goa, and I don’t have any illness either. Apart from depression who is just a “good” friend of mine who comes to visit me every now and then, uninvited and unexpected. And although we are “good” friends it is like we have never met before, all the time.

My story is different. And I really don’t want to ask for money unless you are such rich people you really have money to give away. I have read a few stories here and mine is nothing compared to those.

I have a different story about myself meeting a guy something more than one year ago, and having my sanity completely destroyed, and all my savings gone.

I have always been extremely responsible with saving money in my all life, and had worked four years to save all that money and in less than a year I had given all my savings to a guy I was trying hard to help. He is a gambler and I was aware of that. I put all my efforts trying to help him, trying to get him seek for professional support. I took care of him for a year not only as a boyfriend but as a brother or a son, too. I helped him get out of the bed on his dark days because I know what it does feel like, I gave to him all the love and cares he needed.

He has two kids he has to financially support. When he would gamble he would not even have the money to send to his kids, but I really wanted to help him get out of his addiction and feel he was a good dad. So I would give money to him all the time.

He was just a manipulator. I helped him get out of the bed and I was not able to see that I was the one who was then getting depressed and pushed down by all his issues and his making me feel I was just a poor insicure woman.

He was the perfect manipulator. He used me to get all the money he needed for his own needs. Every time he would promise he would give me all back. Next month, he said all the times. I was losing all my savings because I was trusting him. I was trusting his “last time help request”, his “I start doing counselling, I promise”. I start going to a counsellor helping gamblers, hopong I could bring him one day. He has never come. And thanks God I kept having counselling. He was using me and pishing me down so badly I was close to never get out of that tunnel. My counsellor says I have been like the girl on the train, if you have seen the movie.

I lost for him more than 15,000 pounds. I helped him with his debts with his kids, with the rent and everything he needed. He was just using me and manipulating me to the point I was completely drained. And now that he is out of my life and I beg him my money back as he always promised he even laughs at me, saying the money I gave him was just small change. I don’t want to blame myself for taking care of a person the way I did. But sometimes I just get caught in panic when I realize he will most probably never give all my money back. I had worked for that, and I have never wasted my money, never. My family doesn’t know anything about that and of they ever found out what happend to my savings..well I think I could stand that.

If you know of someone who is living in a situation like the one I have lived.. Please help that person get out of that thriller movie. People like the guy I have met can really bring you to a point of non return where you start thinking you cannot cope with your life anymore. You will find yourself hurt, without any strenght. And without all what you had worked hard for years.

I would love to write a book one day about my story.

I hope my story will help someone.

Financial Depression

Hello

I have recently found out I am pregnant with my second child, however there have already been a few complications due to baby measuring much smaller than he/she should be.

Due to constant hospital trips I find myself struggling to pay gas, electric, rent and some loans that I have out such as paying for partners education and for vehicle which I need in order to work. My employer has recently found out I am pregnant, due to the complications I am facing it was necessary to tell them despite being 12 weeks, as a result my hours have significantly declined from 40 hours a week to a measly 4 hours a week.
In this situation normally I would of quit my job and gone to find somewhere else who can guarantee me my hours but with the pregnancy and the way the benefits system works it is unlikely I will be lucky enough to find a new position and will have no income for 3 months due to voluntarily leaving.

My first born is autistic but currently awaiting a formal diagnosis which could take another year to achieve if not more. He loves being outside and grows a lot quicker then most children his age, at only 2 years old he is in 4-5 years clothing, but the costs with clothing and shoes are causing me and my partner to get in even more debt.
My partner works but is over taxed by the agency he works for so while everyone else is under the impression he earns £450 a week in reality it is more like £300 and with my complications his actual wage is even less due to him having to take days off to care for our son and yet not receiving employee benefits most people would such as holiday and sick pay.

It is a big ask as we need a lot of help in order to get back on track but if by any chance you can help us in the slightest way, we would all be eternally grateful.

College and living help

Hi.
I’ve been putting off following my career passion for a good few years now and the older I’ve gotten the harder it has been for me to do this. But this year I’ve finally made the decision to stop putting it off and follow my dreams. Luckily I’ve managed to get my course itself funded. Which has been a huge stress relief. But now I have the struggle of trying to save £7000 up by the end of 2019.
I’ve enrolled to do veterinary nursing and because of the type of course I’m unable to work as well for the first year. And this is where I’m asking for help. I currently work full time 50 hours a week in kitchens. If there’s over time going i take it. But at the age of 27 I have bills I have to pay each month. I really don’t want to put off this course but at the moment I can’t see it being possible to start in September.
All I’m hoping is to raise enough money to cover a years worth of bills for myself.
Any help anyone could give would be very appreciated.
