A bright future for an abuse survivor

My name is Jenasis Richardson, I’m a 19-year-old visually impaired Christian and abuse survivor trying to make it in the modeling industry. I graduated high school a year early due to my outstanding GPA and academic accomplishments, I was a literal straight A student throughout high school and now I’m currently in my senior year of college pursuing a bachelor’s degree in IT with a membership in NSCS (an extremely prestigious academic program for hard working scientists, doctors, and lawyers). I am also sponsored for my college tuition by Vocational Rehabilitation because of my hard work and visual impairment. While I love IT very much, I’m extremely passionate about my artwork in digital painting platforms and on canvas which I would love to do full time as well as modeling.

I was recently selected to be on a roster for a huge expo and set of 3 competitions in November 2019 which consists of only 250 people in the entire U.S. who get to be in it and I was selected in their final 10 pickings because they see so much potential in me. it’s a very big deal with a promising future for myself and my family. My dad has worked so hard to try and make a better future for his children and I really want to give him a comfortable retirement so that he can spend the rest of his time here raising my younger sister.

My story is long and depressing so ill try to keep it short… I grew up with a mother who was mentally incapacitated (legally crazy) and she was extremely abusive due to her sickness. My father did everything he could to try and protect us from her but ultimately her fits of rage got the better of her and when they divorced my middle sister and I were stuck with her due to the fact my father didn’t have a stable home for us because of the recession that occurred in Atlanta Georgia where we lived. So for years my father fought to regain everything after bankruptcy and spent over 10,000 dollars in attorneys fees to get us back and have her reevaluated for her sickness. He won us back upon proof of his financial stability when I was 16 (6 years after the divorce). Now I’m working hard in school and to become someone great and share my story and testimony. I love Jesus Christ with all of my heart, and I thank him with my life for rescuing me from that home and I just want to pay it forward to him and my dad by following my true calling.

If I’m able to gather the funds I will be in 3 high-ranking competitions and get to attend 5 consecutive preparation workshops during the expo with Discovery Spotlight which is a talent discovering organization that allows select persons to get noticed and featured with companies such as Disney, Nickelodeon, Top Model, and Vogue. It’s been my dream for years to become an actress and model and this is, as cliché as it may sound, the opportunity of a lifetime for me, it’s something that I want to do and feel like I need to do so bad that it hurts, not just to help my family but to make a name for myself as well.

The total cost of the trip will be roughly 3,000 to 3,500 dollars and I will give the breakdown below and explain further what this will do for my family and I.

The Discovery Spotlight Expo provides the opportunity for me to get recognized by large agencies looking for talent as mentioned above. Madison Iseman from the new Jumanji movie became famous because of this expo. Also, just a fun fact: the trophies and medals used for the Discovery Spotlight Expo ceremonies come from the same shop that the trophies for The Voice do.

WHAT THE FUNDS WILL DO FOR ME

Upon paying my fees, the expo will consist of 5 workshops to train me to perform in front of a live audience during the 3 competitions and will further guarantee me a signed contract by the end of the week of the expo.

I will be assigned a scout to introduce me to agents of the companies and train me on how to be charismatic in the industry setting.

I will get a custom package with online classes with videos, textbooks, and exams, to prepare me for the next month before the expo as well as my personal trainer available to me anytime to video chat for hands on training.

I will receive a resume and photoshoot package to promote myself to agents at the expo and after.

I will receive admission to an exclusive gathering for top agents and actors from TV production agencies including, Disney, Nickelodeon, FOX, ABC, SONY, Paramount, Warner Brothers, Illumination, Columbus and many more where I can be picked up by any of these agencies to be featured in magazines and even possibly on TV.

I will receive a room for the week at the hotel the expo is being held at which is at the Hilton on Myrtle Beach in South Carolina.

I will receive a round trip plane ticket to South Carolina and back to Florida.

It will cover food costs for me for the week.

Breakdown:

$2,099.97 = Discovery Spotlight package and admission.

$547.49 = round trip ticket for myself and possible accompanying adult passenger FOR PROTECTION of myself as a young woman

$250 = food for myself during the week

$595.99 = hotel room for the week at the Hilton where the expo is

Total = $3,493.45

WHAT ABOUT YOU???

Between now and the time of the expo in November I will send my donor(s) a HAND SIGNED photograph of myself in a beautiful package with a bonus surprise gift just for saying thanks for all your support!

IN CONCLUSION…

This is the opportunity of a lifetime for myself and coming from a not so fortunate family I must ask for some help with the funding (which I’m not happy about I’m very hard working and would rather pay it myself). I just hope that there is someone out there willing to help me make this dream come true for my family and for myself since I do have to ask for it.

Hard struggling of obstacles

I would like to start off by thanking you in advance for your time, kindness, & consideration.

It’s truly struggling hard to keeping your head above the water.  Specifically, my youngest lives with me due to many of her lifelong health issues like esophagus & stomach polyps as well as 3 autoimmune diseases and a few other issues.

Additionally, I am disabled due to an accident and 8 surgeries from my cervical spine(neck),shoulder, 4 hand surgeries & wrist surgery. Some caused more issues and some didn’t change. I feel worthless due to I use to be really busy with OU college(15 hours)on call for and oilfield disposal site. Therefore, I’m no longer superwoman. It’s embarrassing to ask my kids to help open a jar, assist in washing my hair as I struggle with one shoulder that doesn’t want to go all the way up, and worst of all is when I dropped a plate full of Chinese food on the ground at a buffet; and my kids immediately went over where I was to help get everything of their tiled floor.  I lay awake most of the time. I don’t like getting out for any reason as I get tunnel vision and feel like I’m going to pass out.  I do have health issues of my own as well; blood pressure, cholesterol, nerves in my feet Med, pain in numerous places, change of life physical bodily wise, not to mention my anxiety and depression.  I get an SSDI check but it’s being used to get caught up on my debt like: mercy hospital, ambulance service do to me having a seizure and my daughter freaked out, Best Buy card, Home Depot card, Wayfair card, overstock card, my overdrawn checking account with bank of oklahoma,  Victoria Secret card. These cards have been like this for awhile now as I used them to help until I got my ssdi.

I can’t even buy a mattress(this king size has messed up springs)due to my situation of debt, toilet paper, laundry detergent, dish detergent,  body wash, shampoo, lotion, pillows(as my neck hurts if I don’t get the right balance of pillows), food, fuel to go to my youngest daughter and my Specialist appointments, hospital, etc.

I’m miserable, but try to keep it together when possible as my youngest has health issues just as I have. Then there’s medical items and/or medications that insurance won’t cover for both of us. It’s a frustratingly overwhelming situation. An example of the medical insurance not covering steroid cream for my daughters skin, her birth control, her extra steroids due to her autoimmunity issue. Insurance only covers the script once monthly so any extras as per Endochronologist specialist are out of pocket, asthma I hate had to be switched because insurance wouldn’t cover that either, breathing machine(insurance only pays for 1 nebulizer machine wishing several months). Thinking Bout health equipment; sometimes the specialists will recommend stuff that could possibly help like an air purifier for my youngest daughter, a orthopedic operating bed with capabilities to electrically move at angles to prop the head.

Then if that ain’t all, my dependable suv still needs an engine so I can make both of our appointments, as well as groceries. My other daughter also stays here and has a Vehicle but is limited of when she can run me & my youngest daughter to the specialists keeping in mind that she works. Also, I don’t have family for say except all my grown kids.

Thank you for your time and consideration in regards to my dilemma at hand. I tried to keep it at a minimum as well as be brief on only the most important factors.

Sincerely, Mary

 

pics will include an engine missing from my suv, an old Fredrick window air conditioner that is locked up now(can’t use), windows needing replacement dye to them being old and 2 got broke accidentally this last winter; not to mention we have leaks, had to begin redoing 1 side of retainer walls due to the gully washers of rain we’ve received over time that caused the walls to fall down. The walls have to be fixed so the house won’t slide down as well.

College, insurance, unable to work… help????

Greetings.

I am a high school senior who is currently enrolled in homeschool and getting tons of “apply for our college” letters in the mail, many of which peak my interest (I made a composite score of 27, so a lot of them are offering full rides). Because it is almost time for me to quote “leave the nest” and head off to college (some all the way across the country), my mother has suggested that I get a driver’s licence and a job so we could tour the campuses of the ones I’m thinking about going to for the next 4 years.

I do finally have a license, however, since I am homeschooled the labor laws in my state are not any different for me and restrict where I am able to work by a great amount. I have put in over 15 applications in the past two weeks, none of which are reaching back out to me.

Soon, our insurance on our cars (both pretty old ’06/’07 cars, but hey they work at least) is going to go up due to my car being added to the plan. My mother has already talked to me about how little money we are going to have by the end of the month going on, as we currently have a small amount over $200 in our account with more insurance bills coming out later in the month. Most of the time, my grandmother helps us out with our bills which leads both my mother and I feeling guilty.

My mother is on disability, having recently gotten a liver transplant that gave her a second chance. My father (who has been divorced from my mother for around 15 years now) has been helping us with child support every Friday ever since he left. Even with his help, we don’t even get $20K a year.

Of course, this is all putting a great amount onto our shoulders. I’m desperate and I just want to see my mom not worry about our money anymore. If you help, I will be forever grateful knowing someone out there helped us in such dark times in the world.

Thank you for your time.

Juggling To Live On a Fix Income

Life is a cycle of ups and downs. Sometimes you have to take it and live how it comes. Today I have found myself trying to keep up with the demands of daily living. Wondering how did life get this hard? I have realized that in a blink of an eye your life can change.

That change came for me 8/12/2018 when I received a call from my mother telling me my brother has died and she needed me home.  Life flashed in my face that day while on the phone with her packing to get on 85 South heading to Florida.  Finding it hard to believe and thinking I just talked to him a week ago plus I was just there in June for my birthday.

Not thinking just getting on the road to be there for her.  The 5 hour drive made me feel I got there in 2 hours because I felt like I was flying. Still not believing but I know living and dying is a part of life.

I am sorry for going on but I am still carrying this after a year.  It brings me here for 2 reasons.  When you have little to no friends to go through the grieving process you want to express your feelings so you write about when you can’t really talk to anyone. Second I have outstretched my income helping my mom bury my brother.

So who do you turn to when there is no one to help you?  No friends. No family that have anything to give. I have been blessed for God has been carrying me this far but each day is getting harder when every turn looks like a dead end road.

Trying to find a job when you are filled with emotional, physical disabilities when you don’t fit the mode of how a disabled person suppose to look like makes the battle a real struggle.

My situation is I thought with how I live a simple life budget what I have accordingly that I could handle the extra weight but now I am looking at $6000 of debt which is not much but much when can’t pay daily bills like I use to.

I’ve tried getting a loan but I have to much debt for my low income. So I am realizing my good credit score I’ve been trying to maintain means nothing when you don’t have a big income.  I’ve signed up for several of these fund me sites but nothing much.  I understand people are struggling just as I am.  Now with the hurricanes happening everyone is in need of a helping hand.  If you can help I would really appreciate it.

Here is my paypal link: https://paypal.me/NicheleD

I will continue to pray and wait for a blessing.  I would like to thank everyone.

Struggling Female College Student Requesting Money for Tuition and Resources

Hi,

My name is Maximiliana and I am a student at the University of Rochester majoring in philosophy and minoring in Brain & Cognitive Science (3.93 GPA) while living at home.  My family would be able to help with my tuition and resources if they did not have exorbitant medical bills.  My mother suffers from several extremely debilitating autoimmune disorders (including multiple sclerosis and systemic autoimmune disease) and is on disability, and my father has Crohns disease, lung disease, and asthma and should but cannot afford to be on disability.  They have both been in and out of the hospital several times for long stints due either to surgery or spontaneous health crisis for the last two years (longer for my mother); my father was just recently in the hospital three weeks ago for a blood infection, and narrowly survived what is usually a fatal heart attack (5% of people survive the type he had) early in February of this year; and my mother just returned from over a week in the hospital due to respiratory problems and an abnormal heart rhythm.   Furthermore, I have an intersex condition that I need surgery for (I have my surgical consults scheduled for spring and summer of next year), which thankfully should be covered by insurance but will require me to stay in NYC for nearly half a year, which I must pay for out of pocket.  My family’s physical health creates logistical obstacles in the form of finance and everyday living, but also in terms of mental health.  It’s extraordinarily upsetting for all of us to have such cripplingly severe physical health issues, so we have mental health issues as well due to the chronic stress induced by the unremitting bleakness of our situation.

Due to the health care system in the U.S., my parents have over sixty thousand dollars in medical bills to pay off this year alone in addition to all of the other expenses that come with paying off a house, a car, etc.  However, because my family’s taxes show us in a particular income bracket, our expected contribution to the university is higher than we can reasonably accommodate given our extensive medical needs and their associated costs.  My mother is almost immobile and needs 24/7 care, but we lack the finances to support that and I am busy taking twenty credits a semester, teaching at my university, applying to graduate school, and hopefully soon working in student government, so I have little time to help when I am present, which is uncommon due to my schedule and workload.  The pittance I make as an undergraduate teaching assistant does not put a dent in my loans or allow me to help pay for food, and despite working two jobs over the summer to pay off seven thousand dollars worth (while preparing for graduate school applications and dealing with mental health crises), I still owe close to twenty thousand.

Any help you could offer me would be enormously valuable.  I work extremely hard to be successful but have considerable obstacles placed in front of me because of my own and my family’s health.

Expecting a Blessing

Hello there.  I know the title is off-putting, but the Lord said “come expecting a blessing…”

I’ve never done anything like this before, and I rarely ask for help, but it would seem that life is enjoying throwing every curve ball it can at me.  Back in 2017, my husband and I, newly wedded, took a chance and moved from all things familiar hoping to better our careers and, in turn, better our future.  Soon after getting situated in our new area, we discovered we were pregnant with our very first child!  I worked two jobs while my husband secured a management position in an attempt to bring in enough income to see us through the start of our new family, but as fate would have it, we were hit with unexpected medical bills, never was reimbursed for our move, had vehicular accidents resulting in total loss and adding new vehicle notes, and ended up with a tax debt due to us being in another tax bracket.  Neither of us was making a lot with the current bills we were paying, so that all took us by surprise.  I ended up drawing down my retirement from working with a State agency to aid in our distress, and had to turn to family for what little help they could offer.  By God’s grace, we were able to make it through the first ten months of our daughter’s life.  And as life would see it, around the 2018 November-December Holiday Season, we discovered we were pregnant again.  Still struggling to pay the bill from our first baby’s delivery, plus daycare, baby item expenses, rent, utilities, and vehicle notes, we attempted to file our taxes early in hopes of a small refund.  That was not to be as my retirement withdrawl used to help us that year, added more tax debt to our household.  Becoming more stressed and down-trodden by our worsening situation, I had a massive anxiety attack.  My husband quickly stepped down from his management position to be more available to our little family, thus decreasing our income further.  After that, I also changed jobs so I would not be in a position to lift heavy materials and have the weekends free to keep our eldest child.  My mother who had been available to travel to where we reside and help look after our first-born has been ill and back and forth to the doctor, limiting any aid she would be willing to give.  The position I accepted would not pay me while out on maternity leave, only because I had not been with the institution for one year or more; this further hurt us.  We both took out payday loans to help cover us where we were short, and I was eligible to receive a few small checks for short-term disability.  However, what we had and have in our account is not enough to cover any of our bills or pay back the loans we took out.  My husband and I are working as hard as we can while I take care of our two beautiful daughters, and I am afraid we may be facing eviction soon, vehicle repossession, utilities being cut off, and scarcity of food on the table for our children.  This was not an intent of my husband and I when we set off to better ourselves, but it seems as if this is a constant rut we are in, and we keep getting hit with storm after storm.  I want to be a fully functional and successful individual who continues to work hard and strive for better; I just need and ask for a bit of help to break this cycle.  I believe something good and wonderful is coming my/our way, and I choose to TRUST GOD on this.  HE has said “Ask, and It Shall be Given…”, hence the reason I am here now.  I am asking for a little help to get us back up on our feet, to be able to provide for the family we now have, and to one day, pay it forward and bless another as someone here will bless us.  God Bless you, and Thank You.

A betrayed woman seeking help to pay for lawyer and moving

Hello, I am Val Ramos. I am a Brazilian woman who moved to the US in 2007 to study and to experience a different. The plans was to stay here for 1 year, but started a relationship and got married in 2010.

My dream was always to get back home to be with my family, but the husband always had an excuse to not move back. It was always next year.

At the beginning he used to be the most adorable man and used to say I was the “woman of his life” .

Since the day one of this relationship I worked hard to help him to get his dream realized, to be a pilot. Pilot courses are so expensive and I was always holding up the bills on the house for him to pay for his training.

In 2014 I got my US Citizenship 

Finally back in 2014/2015 he got his flight instructor certification.

Also in 2014 we both decided it was time for us to grow our family. I got pregnant, but I had a miscarriage. So finally in May 2015 another positive test.

Then in June he said what about if we move to Florida. Over there it is easy for me to get a flight instructor job. I could not move to FL on the position I used to hold. So we both agreed he would move first then I would go as soon as I could get a position where I could work remote.

The time passed by and I could never get a position and my anxious started to grow because I was by myself in a state and afraid that something could happen with me and I had no one to help me and the baby. Finally in November 2015 I was able to get a remote position and moved.

When I got in Florida he did not let me have contact with some people, but I thought it was because I was almost 9 months pregnant and tired and he wanted me to rest.

Our lovely daughter born and he was every day he was more far away from me. Never helped me with the baby. In 2016 he was 5 months away from home for a training and I was holding everything home. Working full time and taking care of an infant.

He then came back home saying he wanted to work on the town because he missed out little one.

But day after day he was more strange and always hiding his phone. Back in June during a vacation in Brazil I discovered he has a mistress since I was pregnant. He met and started his relationship with her when I was pregnant in another state waiting to move to Florida. And during this time he had no job in Florida and I was paying for all the bills and his living cost in Florida.

His lover is from another country and this year he brought her to the US and to live close by our house. He wanted to keep both of us, but I discovered the relationship.

I have asked for him to leave the house, but our little one was suffering so much, so we talked and I told him I would forgive him if he was back to us and never had a contact with the mistress again. He came back home but I founded he continued contact with her.

So I then told him to leave the house and that I wanted the custody and authorization to move with our little one to Brazil. He does not want to give me this.

We also bought a house last year which the mortgage is just on my name and most of the money n it was mine, but he wants his part.

So I am raising some money to pay for a lawyer and to pay for a container to take my belongs to Brazil.

I will also need to start my life in Brazil and try to buy a house, but now sure how since I have no income there.

I think I will need between no less than $20k to start with my expenses.

 

Any help is appreciated.

 

God Bless you.

Auction pending, help save my house..

As I sit here typing this, my hands are shaking. I have never ever had to ask for help from anyone, especially total strangers on the internet.

We are a family of 4, me, my husband, a senior college student and a high school kiddo. My husband and I have been married for 23 years and started a family very young. We have overcome more obstacles than most not relying on anyone. We worked very hard to purchase our home and were able to put almost 50% down when we purchase it in 2010. We both work very hard and after working part time job I was made full time with benefits this year. (a goal I have been working toward for 5 years) but the job transition with no pay and some of our college students college bills have put us behind.

Ironically I work for an organization that helps people in crisis, so I help kids and families in need and now I need help. The hardest part is asking, especially from my community partners that I reach out to.  Please consider helping a very hard working family that helps anyone that needs anything, we serve at church, and I am not saying that to make us look good. I am just saying that to show our character. I want to save our home and

I am humbly asking for $5,700.00 or any donations to help. We will owe more, but I have not received a current reinstatement letter yet. I do have some to put toward the final bill.  I have until 09/30, auction will take place on 10/1/19.

Thank you for your consideration, your time and please know that I will repay this forward many times over.  Thank you

NEED HELP, PLEASE

I was laid off from a job last year, which was hard finding a new job to replace it. I work in Aviation, and unlike Accounting or HR, Aviation jobs are not as common. Either I commute/move, or I pick a different field to work in. After 17 years in Aviation, I chose to give Real Estate a try. Similar to about 3 out of 4 new agents, I was only able to complete a few transactions and quickly realized that this wasn’t working. During my time in Real Estate though, I found myself racking up Credit Card debt while trying to stay afloat and not miss any bill payments.

I have since started a new job, back in Aviation, working an hour and a half away from my house. Now that I’m fully employed again, I’ve been working to get caught up with my finances, and ensure that I don’t miss any payments, but I keep finding myself falling behind and paying late, which incurs a late payment penalty. These late fees pile up and screw me up for the next pay period.

I have a 7 year old son. His mother and I are no longer together, but we  try to remain cordial with one another, for his sake. She’s been watching him more these days, as my finances have been tight enough with just me, and would be severely impacted (negatively) if he were living with me still. I miss him, and am fighting hard to fix my situation so that I can have him around more.

My total Credit Card debt is around $25,000. While I don’t expect anybody to fully pay off my debt, I would absolutely appreciate any help that gets sent my way.

Thank you, to whoever sees this and feels like being generous to me. My son and I greatly appreciate your kindness!

Friends, Romans, Gentlebeings, Help a Sister Out!

I lost my job unexpectedly (isn’t it almost always? hah) on 9/16.

I received one last paycheck, but it was short because I was out sick.

I’ve applied for unemployment, but may not get it because my last boss was an employment lawyer, and he’s cheap and will probably fight it.

I could really use some help for a time until I find new work, so I don’t lose my apartment and my car (in a city with infamously bad public transportation), and become a burden on my elderly parents, who are already assisting my sister and her 2 children.

I live pretty frugally. I have a cheap apartment, an economy car, and rarely eat out. Please do what you can for me and the kitties, and help us keep our home!

I try to be there for friends and strangers when I can…now it’s my turn to ask. I hope to find a new job soon, and be back in a position where I can be of service to others. All help is appreciated, even if it’s only a few bucks!

Business Capital

Hello,

My name is Giovany, married to a beautiful woman and father of two excellent and bright children. Mechanical Engineering Student, at a slow but steady pace. Lover of nature and sports.

Since I was young, life has given me several low hits, of which I have managed to recover. Sometimes easily and sometimes with a little more work, but always victorious with the grace of God. My mother died when I was young, and since then I have had to work hard to pay for my high school, rent, utilities etc. I consider myself a responsible, determined, well-oriented person with the desire to be a better person every day for everyone around me. I have always believed that I came to this world to help others, and even in little, I always find how to continue helping those who have less.

I am currently going through a not very favorable economic situation which has made me stay away from my family for almost 4 years to work outside the country where I have better opportunities. Then all this time, being away from my family has weighed a lot, both for me and for them, which, despite everything, have always supported me in all my decisions.

In the search for new ideas to maintain economic stability and at the same time being with my family, it has come to my mind to start a Mobile Detailing business, which is very profitable in the area where I live. After making my business plan, I have determined what is the capital needed to start this adventure. Due to the economic situations that I have experienced in the past, I have found it almost impossible to get loans to start my business, and that is why I turn to this page.

I am requesting financial help to start my business. By starting my business and following the favorable projections that have been predetermined, I will be able to achieve the economic stability that I am looking for and in turn not to waste more valuable time away from my family.

I thank you in advance for the help you have provided, and may God bless you always.

I leave attached a screenshot of a part of the business plan. If you want more information you can always contact me and I will gladly inform you.

Please Help-Homeless

Dear Potential Donors,

Thank you for taking the time to read my request for help. I am currently living in my car because I’m unable to afford rent/food/furniture. I’m on a limited income which doesn’t allow me to eat some days. I’m requesting $10,000. I’ve lost everything. I don’t have any furniture, clothing, and I’m pretty sure because I’m unable to work, that an apartment manager will require more than first mo rent/deposit. I know you have a lot of people on here asking for your help. I’m no better than anyone else. I would just like for you to know, that I am a good person that has just fallen on hard times. I indeed to take your kindness and pay it forward.

Get my life back starting with my daughter….

mommybaby2.jpg

Hey kind hearts… You must have some kindness to be on a site such as this and to have come across me… :)

Anyways… I have always been self sufficient. I have never needed to rely on others (for the most part). I ran my own business for 10 years, and came up slowly but surely from $10/day to 100-300$/day! I was doing great. I had a guy I THOUGHT was amazing at the time.. We were wanting to grow our family. Things were awesome…..

mommydaddybaby.jpg

Till they weren’t. After several late term miscarriages (19/24/26 weeks) we finally had our miracle rainbow baby in April 2017. She was perfect. Is perfect. SO perfect I had to end a 7 year relationship with her father 9 months after she was born because of his abuse and not wanting my little girl to grow up in that situation.

Exactly one year later I did something stupid. I took him back. I had changed so much, I assumed he may have too. He didn’t. He had begged and pleaded, talked of suicide and depression. Who wouldn’t have wanted to give their child the opportunity to have two loving parents, especially when you come from a broken home yourself.

daddybaby.jpg

Biggest Mistake of My Life.

He had not changed. He was neglectful. And he took a thriving environment for my daughter an turned it into a negative and dangerous place full of sorrow. I had enough. I ended it after 3 months. I couldn’t allow him to ruin her life any more than he already had, he was messing with her little mind, and putting her at risk in ways I could not stand by, with no regard to my wishes on things.

mommybaby8.jpg

I was glad to be out. We were safe, and going to be a happy little family of two again, get back to normal life without him…. Or so I thought. 3 days after we broke up, a week before my daughters second birthday, I had a knock on my door. The worst knock in the entire world. A knock that changed my life.

Cps. I had never imagined. I am not the kind of mother who loses their child to cps. No one had ever called. Even cops that had been called out to the scenes of me an her father arguing, never called cps. There was not a need. She was in wonderful care. mommybaby25.jpg

 

I did what anyone would do who just wanted them to go away. I cooperated. How stupid I was…. I let them in, answered their questions. I did the drug test, let them test her. I did everything I thought was “right” and was just wanting them out of our lives for good. Why…. Why did I have to prove to them that I was a good mom. That I had done nothing wrong…. I should have done what everyone said and told them come back with a court order, maybe I wouldn’t be where I am today.

I went to sign into work the week they had arrived, I had been disabled. So now I was not only facing a CPS case. I was unemployed from the only job I had ever known. The business I worked so hard to build over 10 years using an online platform, was ripped away in an instant. I was crushed. I now was going to lose everything, except my daughter. But how would I take care of her? I had to find a way….

mommybaby22.jpg

I was wrong. About a month into the case I got a call that changed my life. My daughter tested positive for marijuana, and they were taking immediate action to remove her from my care. But why? I never had her exposed to that kind of substance… I never let anyone smoke around her, or had her in dangerous environments… How could this have happened. I recalled the timing of the drug test, and the three months prior. I was with her father.

How, how could he have been so neglectful, so stupid. I found out of course, he had been the one to call CPS and emailed the platform I used to work and had me disabled. There was no way to undo it (we tried).

mommybaby19.jpg

Things quickly unraveled in my life. Obviously… I have had trouble finding work due to CPS schedule of counseling/classes… I have lost everything. I sustained the best I could for the months following the case opening, but it got to a point I have lost my home, my car is behind (and now uninsured for the first time in years), and my phone is turned off. I have opened accounts online to try and generate income best I can as an “entertainer/model”. But it is slow going. I had nothing, was being evicted and had no where to turn.

In an awful case of irony, I came to find that her father had some how managed to get himself into a rent house (the first time he has been self supported since I have known him). He got a job, and had access to a family members vehicle. I learned he recently became single, so I did what I never thought I would have to do. I called him.

mommybaby16.jpg

I was forced into a position no one should be in. I had to rely on the person who has taken everything from me. I some how convinced him to let me move in. Begging for mercy from the person who basically shattered mine and my daughters life. While he agreed to being roommates, he has not made it easy. Days are filled with complaints of my electricity usage, food/beverage consumption, and my general lack of money.

He demanded that no one come to know I am staying with him, and his new girlfriend. He’s trying to get full custody of our daughter, even though he had no interest in visits/bonding with our daughter for the year prior to us giving it that “last shot”. I had done everything to be a stay at home working mother, and give my daughter the best shot at a great life. He never cared…. NOW he wants her!?

daddybaby2.jpg

I am still “fighting” cps. I am going to classes, and trying the best I can to get my baby back. She is currently with her paternal grandmother (a woman who wished I was barren prior to my reoccurring pregnancy loses..). I am living a nightmare. I am dependent on a monster who took everything from me, and is trying to take my daughter permanently when he was the reason for all of this in the first place.

I try to be forgiving. I believe everything happens for a reason. I am beginning to find I have a lack of hope developing though. I can’t seem to catch a break. I have lost it all. My daughter was/is my reason for living. And I am living without her at just 2 years old…. I have already misses several months of her life now. Case is told to be open until June 2020. I don’t know how to continue on this path.

mommybaby11.jpg

I need help. I need my own place again, and my car so I can find a “legit” job to show stability and get my daughter back. At this rate I am going to lose her. He has intentions of getting custody, but that being said I don’t believe he would get her without my help anyways…. Which brings 2 options. Her grandmother who had nothing to do with her the first 2 years she was alive, and all a sudden “stepped up to HELP” when the case opened, or adoption. I don’t know what they would choose.

I can’t fathom the idea of either of those. They just ARE NOT OPTIONS. They can’t be. So that brings me here. Pleading. Desperate. Looking for some kind heart that was curious enough to read my “book”, and also have the presence in their heart (and wallet) to help in my situation. I don’t know what else to do. I have been continuing to apply to jobs, but no such luck. Not sure if its that I ran my own business for 10 years and they just don’t believe me? Or if it’s my schedule conflicts causing the rejections. But somethings gotta give.

mommybaby17.jpg

I can NOT continue to rely on the one person in this world who let me down more than anyone and literally broke me into a millions pieces with his lack of thinking and irrational decisions/actions. I have nowhere else to go though. Nothing else to do that will be sufficient to gain custody of my baby girl again. So please. Anything. $20. It doesn’t matter. At this point ANYTHING will help to get me out of this horrible hell of irony and desperation.

I don’t know what else to do. So PLEASE. If you’ve ever lost a child, or dealt with a monster in law… on top of dealing with an abusive, narcissistic and sadistic father of your child, you MIGHT be able to recognize the unfortunate situation I am fighting to survive. Do whatever you can spare… Pray… Whatever you can offer is greatly accepted. I need hope. I need help. I need my miracle rainbow baby back in my arms every night.. I can’t imagine going on without her.

mommybaby13.jpg

Thanks so much for the time taken to read my story… and if you do choose to help, I hope that Karma grants you with your biggest desires and wants from this lifetime… I just NEED my baby back. I need our life back. I don’t know how life can be so cruel as to punish someone who always tried to help others, always tried to live with high morals, and do the right things…. I just don’t get it.

Single mom looking for help

Snapchat-363294193.jpgHey! Thank you for taking the time to read my story! My name is Mariah I’m 23 years old and I am a mother of two amazing children Makayla 3 (left) and Makavelli 6 months (right). Now I’m not really sure how to do this but this is my last option. I’ve had a pretty rough year. My son Makavelli I know you’re wondering what’s on his head my son was diagnosed with something called Craniosynostosis it’s a condition where his soft spots closed early. There was nothing I could do to prevent this. In the beginning of May he was going to a regular 3 month check up and by the end of May he was having surgery on his head. They stripped the bone at the stop and slits down the sides of his skull to create space for his brain to grow. In between that time prepping him for surgery was very fast it all came at me so fast I was up at the hospital weekly for appointments one week I had on or two everyday of the week it was tiring they were poking and proding my baby it was painful to hear him cry. My 3 year old was confused I had to make sure she didn’t feel how terrified I was all while trying to work was very hard. I had very little help having to call off so much even though it was excused it became a lot and they started giving me less hours. After my car broke down leaving one of his appointments my alternator gave out on me. I had to work around the bus schedules which became a problem I had to quit my job. After my son had his surgery a week later he was fitted for a helmet and a week after that he had to wear this helmet for 23 hours a day my baby is only 4 months old at this point. He has to wear it until his first birthday. I’ve been trying to save up for another car but with losing my job I had to dip into my savings. He goes to see his neurologist and his prostetics doctor for his helmet regularly I have to catch the bus with my two children and it’s not a easy thing to do I get the stares and the whisper’s and the pointing it’s painful because he’s only a baby. While all that’s going on I’m trying to make sure I study and get my work done in a timely manner so I don’t cram. I’m in school for the association of business fundamentals my goal is to own a business by the time I’m 30. I’m trying to be the best role model for my children I can be but it’s so hard. I’m asking for donations today to help me with getting another vehicle I’m out of work at the moment because my son has to have the right care daily if it’s too hot or too cold. He has to have is washed everyday he’s uncomfortable in it so sometimes he just cries and I can put that on anyone you never know how someone will react to that kind of pressure. Anything will help me because I desperately need it my savings are now gone and bills are due soon and I’m running out of options anything helps and it means the absolute world to me and my kids I’m just trying to get ahead my PayPal is paypal.me/mamaabear23. Again thank you so much for taking the time to read my story even if you can donate thank you for your time. Have a wonderful day

Trying to get on my feet

 

Hi. I am 45 years old. Have always tried to do the right thing. Throughout my life, I have Opened my house to many people in need. Being there for others is a great thing but when it’s you in need and having to ask, is altogether different. But I do need help. Let me explain…

for 24 years, I was a music director and praise & worship leader for a church. Loved every minute of it.  Once my Dad became sick, I had to help with him and a lot of planning for a career was put on hold. And I would do it all over again just to have a few more days with my Dad. He passed away 3yrs ago. In the meantime, my Mom became quite ill. So, I moved Out of my home and in with her. Took care of her for 3yrs until she passed, suddenly, last Nov. Needless to say, my whole world fell a part. I moved From Tn to Sc because of needing new scenery. Once here, I stayed with someone for a little while. It was supposed to be until I could get on my feet. With only a part time job, making $7.53 an hr, that was impossible. I finally have a job with a hotel. I’m a night auditor and though it’s not much money, I do Love my job. The problem is, it’s so expensive here. I need to get a car but can’t come up with a down payment. I’m driving my dads car but have to turn it into the dealership because it’s not in my name, tags are out, apartment complex is going to tow it, utilities are late, rent is almost due again, $840, I’m working all the time to try and stay afloat. The storage unit is due and has all of my parents treasures in it. I just Feel so overwhelmed. I cannot Completely grieve my Mother because I’m always having to turn some difficult corner. I have 2 little dogs that have been with me for 14yrs. They are ALL I have. I do Not know where else to turn. A shelter is impossible because I’m not giving up my puppies. I’ve lost way too much already. I also Don’t spend money. It’s only on the apartment, utilities and some food. No extras. I’m trying to do door dash but can’t now because my tags are out. My best-friend passed away 2 months before my Mom. It’s just all been way too much. Anxiety & depression is at an all time high and I need Help so I can get ahead.

If you can do anything at all, please help me? I don’t Drink, smoke or do drugs.

I just Want to live.

Thank you so much!

Need A Car

Hey to the person taking their time to read this! I’m am looking for help to get a car at the moment. For two years, I’ve been trying my best to save up. It been so hard not only for me, but for my family as well. My mom and sometimes my dad go into the ER because they can’t breathe or something happens, so with the very little money I have I sneak it into my dads bank account or my moms wallet, without them knowing. We live paycheck by paycheck ever since I was in middle school. And when it was my chance to work I did and I took on not one but two jobs and work everyday except Friday’s. So yes, I’ve been trying save up, and I’m back to where I began since bills kept going up and recent doctor visits. My family doesn’t even have insurance other than my me and my little brother. Anyways this is a little part of my life, that I hardly ever share about because I’m not the type of person to ask anyone for money, but at times like this i’m desperate and in need of help.

My reason for the car you may ask, I am a senior in high school, my little brother is a freshman, I need a car to go to school. I have 2 jobs and with my family it’s hard for me to go to work on time because we have 2 cars 8 people, who works around the same time or get off at the same time. So whoever gets pick up the other person has to wait. For me It’ll be mainly for our use of school and work because I can’t leave my mom at home alone if I know nobody is with her due to her heart condition, and with my dad he has incredibly painful back pains, but he continues to work for his family. I love my family, but with everything going on I can’t afford a car on my own, and I will most definitely not ask for money from my parents because there’s more important things to focus on than a car for them.

So if I could at least get a donation of 5,000-25,000 I’d appreciate it very much! THANK YOU

Trying to break free

Hello, I am a 53 year old woman from Connecticut and live in the home I was raised in that my father still owns.  I am looking for financial help to re-locate to Tennessee.  I was raised in Connecticut and I have taken care of people and my family my entire life.  I am seeking freedom from the madness.  As a teenager I took care of my mother who was sick with cancer until she died when I was 18.   I married my childhood boyfriend who became an abusive crack addict so I divorced him and I raised 3 children on my own, twins who are 31 and a 22 year old girl now.  I put myself through school to get my degree while working 3 jobs.  I dedicated my life to help those with addiction and my children became addicted to drugs.  I continue to work in the field of social services helping those with addiction and mental illness but I am burnt out.  There is an ugly custody battle in my family for my grandson who belongs to my youngest daughter and my oldest daughter who has guardianship of him and a  horrible, dominating bully of a boyfriend 20 years her senior who propositioned me in my kitchen.   I raised my grandson for 2 years on my own but fell into illness when I hit menopause and developed pre-diabetes and thyroid problems.  I had to relinquish custody of him to care for myself for a year and in that year I lost 100 lbs, got rid of my diabetes and thyroid problems but by then my oldest daughter was already enthralled with this bully of a man and I was cut off from seeing my grandson by him.  I believe he is being abused but because there are no grandparent rights in CT, when I reported it, I cannot know what is going on or how he is.  I love my grandson dearly but cannot see him as there are no grandparent rights in Connecticut, I am heartbroken and cry every night over it.  My father who is 82 and re-married a very wealthy woman after my mother dies,  who has since died and left him a fortune has been holding the house against me for years dangling it in front of my face, I was told that the house would be mine, I have done as much as I could to upkeep the house I pay the taxes on it as well and he always has some reason why he won’t give me the deed threatening that if I cannot care for him in the way he is accustomed that he will sell the house out from under me.  I desperately want to take care of him but he is not happy with my income and feels that he will not have the life he is accustomed to  if he lives with me.   I have given my heart to Jesus Christ.  I pray that my family gets it together but I cannot take it anymore.  I want to leave and I want to live the rest of my life happy.  I have had enough of being bullied, mocked because I had never made as much money as my brother did who incidentally refuses to care for my father but is fighting to get what what he feels he deserves from my father before my father is even deceased.  My father does not want to go into a nursing home, he outright refuses because he says they will take all his money so my brother and his wife continue to try to get control of his finances.  They told me that they would control the money while I took care of my father and I agreed with this because all I wanted to do was see my father happy in his last years even if I had to use my meager wages to do it but it is not enough for him so he stays in the house that my step brother owns who incidentally is a probate lawyer with millions of dollars, my father has life use of the house so he can legally stay there until he dies but he has medical problems that need attention and he will not leave and will not use any money to live in assisted living and he will not live with me as his standards are wayyy above what I can provide.  So,   here I sit working, heart broken and feeling like a loser because I feel as though I failed my grandson, my father and my children and I’m sick of it.  It isn’t fair.  I’m a good person but i’m just so sick of it.   No one in my family appreciates me whatsoever and i’m over it.  I am able to get a job with my bachelors degree in the social services field anywhere I go in the states and I have chosen Tennessee.  I want a chance for a nice life and I want to meet new people who might actually appreciate me in their lives.  I would love to see some of the world as I  have never had a chance to travel.  I would just like to ask for enough money to re-locate to Tennessee, perhaps to rent an apartment for a year and enough to get some of my things there with a U-Haul truck.  I can work and buy new things when i’m there.  I want to have a chance for a nice, fun life without having to care for someone else for once.  I have to let go and let God.  This story is true and if you think that is crazy, I literally have enough for a Netflix series.  Please let me know if you can help.

Down payment for a home

I’m trying to get the money to purchase a home again.  My teenage sons got involved with the wrong crowd at the age of 15 and was a witness to a homicide.  Once it was known that he testified against the person that committed the murder he was attacked at school and my house was being targeted and vandalized.   I had to pull my son out of school, sold my home and moved us out of the city.  What little equity I had in my home went towards the move and paying for my sons hospital biil’s from being attacked and then for rehab.  I then fell into my own medical issues and had 3 surgeries and lost my job for being out on leave for too long.  FMLA only saved my job for so long.  I’m finally working again but struggling with my medical bill’s now.   It’s more expensive to rent than to own a home which is crazy to me.  Just wanting to get back to where I was.  I can get approved for a home with $7000 down payment/possible closing cost.  My goal is to ask seller to pay or assist in paying closing cost if possible.

My nephew was murdered and now DHS is trying to take my son.

I just got off parole for criminal trespassing im a recovering addict. I dont look so good on paper. Im a single mom, a survivor of narcissistic abuse i think. Two months ago my son and nephew were shot and my nephew was killed. My son survived but is paralyzed. The boys that did this are under age the defence is trying to get them tried as juveniles. Police report tells a story that has the same verbage the DHS case worker has that the caller (confidential) told the department on aug 20th. They came and interviewed my 8 year old without my knowledge and without my presence or permission without anyone there with him. From what my son told me and what dhs told me i have reason to believe that the defence is trying to raise reasonable doubt so they can get the boys that murdered my nephew charged as juveniles ( a reverse transfer). I cooperated until i found out the two stories were the same. I need $2500.00 for my lawyer. I need $1500.00 by Monday the 22nd of sept 2019. So my lawyer has at least a week to get the information he needs together for court on oct 1st. I have a nice bedroom set not sure what its worth but will sell it and everything else i own or am willing to work it off
I was just catching my breath been steadfast and have never given up. Im a good mom and im gonna lose my son if i dont have a good lawyer please help.

I need help.

Hello, my name is Mike and I am overwhelmed with debt.

I was out of work for 3 months which has left me being unable to keep up with the payments for the $8200 I owe. That number continues to grow every month due to interest rates and late fees.

I live with my fiance and we split the bills down the middle (except for the personal debt I have) but I am now falling behind on those bills as well, which also causes her to come up short. We were supposed to start saving for a wedding and to move out from our one room apartment, but I lost my job and had to use credit cards to survive.

The physical and mental toll of stress and anxiety of not working and accumulating debt has not been easy. After three months of no income, I accepted a job out of desperation and worked there for two months and I hated every second of it. It was a hostile work environment and I was ashamed of working there, which made the stress and anxiety worse. Myself and fellow coworkers were constantly harassed and bullied, but I had no choice but to stay until I could find something better.

I now have found a job I love, but the company is in a transitional phase, and for now I am only working part time. If everything goes according to plan, within the next two months I will be a full time employee and everything will become easier, but even then if I am unable to find assistance my debt will continue to increase and my credit score will suffer, which has already declined and is only making things more difficult and a stable future seem out of reach.

I am actively seeking a second job, but finding a second, full time job that can fit my current schedule is difficult, Having to work 60-70 hours per week will also prevent me from working on music and other art projects, which is difficult to push aside because music is my passion and what I would untimely like to be what my career is centered around, but because music doesn’t currently bring in money, I’ll have to step away and lose progress in achieving that goal.

Earlier in the year I was very optimistic and looked forward to planning ahead and it seemed like my fiance and I were off to a good start in our life together, but now thinking ahead is almost a punishment.

I’ve looked into different options but from the information I’ve gathered debt relief programs would only make my situation worse. I’m at the point where I am now worrying about legal troubles if I am not able to pay off my balances.

I never thought I’d be in this position, but I really don’t know what to do or how I can fix this myself, so I am now begging for an act of kindness. Please help me. Any amount you can donate will make a difference and be greatly appreciated.

Hopefully, soon, this debt and the stress it brings will no longer be a part of my life and I will be able to move forward on a better path.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. Have a great day.

Worked hard all my life, My Chihuahua Piper and I need some help. Kicked out of our home.

AirBrush_20190613235024.jpg
I have worked hard all my life I started working when I was 13 years old. ( I am now 48) When I was 20 I had a child while working a full-time job. Her father and I did not stay together but however she was raised in a wonderful environment she’s a wonderful adult, wife and mother. She is a registered nurse. She recently gave birth to her first child, a beautiful baby girl who is just amazing.
I had met a man after my daughter had graduated from high school and started college. He was a single father with two little boys that were four and five years old. He was living in his dad’s Barn and was working everyday to build up a farm.At the time he owned two tractors and was probably worth around $20,000.
he had a couple of people that he rented farmland from to grow crops on.
at first I did not want to date anyone that had small children because I had raised my child and I was looking forward to spending time with someone that I could travel with and enjoy single life with.
This man kind of forced himself into my life and before I knew it him and his children moved in with me into my small 2 bedroom apartment within 3 months.
Needless to say we stayed together for 10 years. I helped him get full custody of the boys and we ended up putting a house on 30 acres for our family and he kept getting more farmland I would help him farm and raise the children as they were my own. (Doctor’s appointment dentist visits I signed them up for school I made them breakfast lunch and dinner etc. Helped them with homework drop them off at sports they each had their own bedroom that I painted and decorated. I actually painted that whole house inside and out and it looked brand new.
when we put the house on the 30 acres of land that we bought he asked me to marry him and he gave me a ring. I had found a double-wide that was only $12,000 through a friend of mine I knew and after a lot of hard work we had the house in and we put cows on the land and everything was going well. when we had moved into the house he had asked me to quit my job to help him take care of the farm and the children. which I gladly did because I figured I was going to be with this man the rest of my life and be his wife and this was my family. So, I had no reason to worry.
I can’t tell you exactly what happened because I’m not even sure. He had a problem drinking and we started fighting and I really wanted to try to make this work I figured 10 years of being together that we should try to make it work and I did try. I tried for a year-and-a-half. He threw me out last June for the last time. I was done being used and being treated like crap. he had been talking to at least 15 women on messenger and wanted to date other women.
the very last time he threw me out which was over a year ago he moved in another woman immediately.
He is worth well over $1000000 now. but since I did not marry him I don’t get a penny. Every penny that I had, I had sunk into our house our home and our family. I had a very nice Colorado truck that was 3 years old when I bought it and I paid it off within 3 years and it was still worth $10,000 and he burned it to the ground. I did not press charges and he had canceled the insurance a few days before so I couldn’t claim anything on it and I didn’t want him to go to prison for what he did. I was stupid and naive.
So right now I have an old beat-up car that needs new tires and a oil change. I am job hunting and I am staying with a friend right now which is a blessing, but I have found an apartment for $350 a month including all utilities.
I have worked hard all my life and once I get a job I know I will be okay.
I have no money no gas in my car and absolutely nothing to move into the apartment I have no furniture, dishes,towels, sheets no bed no dresser.
I have very little clothing and shoes that are about worn out.
if I was a selfish person and I didn’t give all my money these years I would probably be okay. I probably wouldn’t be on here embarrassed and begging for help.
I’m sitting here crying writing this. I am ashamed of myself and I am ashamed for the man that left me in this position.
I am a strong person and I will get back on my feet I do need a little help. if you can find it in your heart to help me I guarantee you I will pay it forward.
Much love and peace to you, thank you so much.
Any donations can be made to me through my PayPal account.

My Roommates Have Left Me Alone is with Rent Expenses

Hi everyone, my name is Briya. I hate to have to do this but i’m in a desperate place right now. Basically, I rented out an apartment my sophomore year of college with two girls I had met the previous year in class. At the time, they seemed like they would make good roommates, that I would get along with. However, the experience turned out to be the exact opposite. One of my roommates had decided to buy a dog (he was a husky) to live in the apartment with us. She didn’t tell the leasing office about him, which my other roommate and I were fine with because the payment to have a dog there was pricey. I began having a problem with it when she started letting him do his business (poop & pee) on the balcony of our apartment without cleaning it up for days. Because of this, eventually damage to the balcony floor started occurring. Her dog also had abandonment issues, so when she would leave to go to class he would scratch at the back of her room door, the carpet underneath it, and in the tile in her bathroom. The damages were severe and I talked to her about having to pay for them at the end of our lease. We came to an agreement that whatever money was owed would be her responsibility. A few months after this conversation, both my roommates never returned to our apartment after Christmas break due to so-called “personal reasons,” and they broke their lease with the apartment. I was left to pay the rent on my own until I could find at least one other person to take their spot. I’m sure you all can imagine how stressful this situation was. Luckily, my parents were able to pull through and help me, until I eventually found another roommate. My roommate with the dog however, made it clear that she would still pay for the damages made in the apartment. I moved out in July, after the lease was up, and moved back with my parents. To make the long story short, my apartment sent me the bill for the damages which states I owe $2,066.18 within 30 days or the case will be turned over to a collection agency, which can essentially ruin my credit, and the credit of my guarantor (which is my dad). I contacted my roommate about it and she has yet to respond to me. And I can’t get in contact with my other roommate either, she’s also completely disappeared from all social media. I now only have a few days to get this money in and i’m no where near capable of paying it myself. My parents aren’t either, as they have other bills, and are trying to get ready to send my younger brother off to college, so they just don’t have this kind of money sitting around. If anyone could find it in their heart to donate, it would be greatly appreciated. I really hate to ask for this kind of help, but at this point I have no other option. Thank you for reading all of this and thank you in advance for any donation.

Family in need

Hello.

My name is Stephanie.  I don’t really know how to go about this whole process, and I don’t feel altogether comfortable reaching out to strangers for assistance, but I have no other resources at this point.

Nearly 6 months ago my husband and I were involved in a terrible car crash, that has essentially ruined our lives.  As a result, I not only sustained a brain injury that has changed me as a person, but our family business has collapsed.  We are currently without an income and have fallen very behind in our rent and utilities.

So far, our landlords have been gracious, but as can be expected, they’re beginning to grow impatient.

I am typically a proud person, who finds it difficult to ask for assistance, it is due only to a great need of financial help that I find myself in this situation.

We have two young children who have also been impacted by our current circumstances.  The fear of homelessness is such a terrifying reality that I find it difficult to draw any sense of joy or hopefulness from life.

I would be so completely grateful to anyone who is willing to offer us a bit of charity, and if ever our circumstances become such that we can help those in need, it will be a lifelong priority of ours.

We’ve sold just about everything of value, short of our sofa and one vehicle.

I don’t really know what else to say, except that I now fully understand the sadness and hopelessness of poverty, having children makes this experience even more frightening.  Even though the events that lead to our current position in life, were not of our doing, we still feel a tremendous sense of failure, particularly in regards to children.  We are unable to provide for them in the way that we once were.  It often happens that my husband and I go without meals so that our children can eat.  We have applied for food assistance with the state, which we hope will be approved shortly.

I suppose it’s of some importance to me that I express how out of character it is for me to accept or seek help from others, and that I am reaching out now only because I have nowhere else to turn and no immediate prospects.

We are working to regain our financial independence and have every hope that we will be able to rebuild our business in the future.  We just need some assistance in finding our footing and getting our lives back on track.  In order to become current with our rent and utilities, we are in need of $4,675.47.

Any assistance at all will be sincerely appreciated and will help our family heal.

Thank you.

My Story

I am a 53 year old woman from Connecticut, born and raised in Connecticut. I have been caring for others my entire life.  I spent my adolescence caring for my sick mother until she died when I was 18.  My father had taken off after she died leaving me in the house and unaware of what to do to survive.  I married an abusive alcoholic and addict and spent 11 years being abused until I divorced him.  My children of which I raised alone grew to be adults and became addicted to drugs and decided to have lives steeped in the worse life choices they made for themselves have done nothing but cause me heart ache.  I have given and given for down payments for apartments, cars, clothes, schools, whatever they needed and never ever would ask for a dime in return. I still live in the house that my father left behind and I have been told that the house was mine until his new wife died and now he has no one to care for him.  She left him an ungodly amount of money but he now wants me to care for him with my salary and he is not happy with my salary as it is not enough money for him so I am criticized and mocked by my family.  He wants me to care for him and all of his medical problems while he leaves his money to my brother whom has refused to care for him.  I have been through custody battles, problems with the law with all of them and I am sick of it.  I need help leaving all of this behind.  I want to move to Tennessee and leave all of the unappreciative family behind me so I can live the rest of my life happy.  I work in social services, I put myself through school and there are many jobs in Tennessee.  I need money to get me there and to help me find a place to live as I am currently seeking work there.  I am sick of being abused, taken for granted and my heart broken because of my selfish family and I am done.  I would appreciate any help I can get.  Please help me be free for once in my life. I just want happiness for once in my life.  paypal.me/maybaby66

Praying for a miracle

Hey,

So I’ve never been on this site before, nor have I ever posted to a site like this, or asked for help from strangers. I guess one thing I’ve learned is never say never. I feel completely and utterly embarrassed to even ask. So let me explain why I’m on here. My girlfriend and I moved down here to FL a couple months ago. Everything seemed to be fine, but truly once we got here it’s been a domino effect. One thing after another has happened, and I understand that’s life, however now it has become to where I’m reaching out for a miracle. My girlfriend has been the supporter of our relationship, due to me having BPD, and not being able to work. Transferring all my paperwork for my assistance I get have been very challenging down here. My girlfriend lost her job, in August. She was hired and that’s why we ended up moving down here was for this job, however we weren’t excepting this is happen. She is such a hard worker, and goes into work everyday when she is supposed to, however life happens and we lost the job. It has put us back so much. She has been searching for another position in the IT field and yet no luck. We have tried other means of making money, Uber, Uber eats, etc. it just hasn’t been able to cover what we need. Our rent for this month is due today, and we still don’t have it. We have a family of animals, and had to rehome our cats, due to not being able to afford it. We have three dogs, and one of them is actually extremely sick with his allergies and us not being able to afford the vet. Again domino effect, one thing after another. My grandfather is in the VA hospital currently, he is 90 and dying of a broken heart. So this has just been a very hard time. We have been praying and praying for a miracle. I just don’t know where to turn anymore. Our rent is due today by end of business day. The total is $1450, including the late fees. I know that’s a lot, and with the money we have earned, we have been making sure our power is paid, and everything else. We are even late on the car payment as well. We just have fallen so behind with this, and just don’t know where to even start to pick up the pieces. If anyone is willing to help out we would be eternally grateful. Truly. Anything truly could be so helpful, please. I’m so sorry for posting and asking, I just don’t know what else to do. I’ve tired to get a loan, yet since I’ve never had credit cards, it’s hard. Just can’t qualify. So here I am, putting my laundry out there and hoping something wonderful could happen. Thank you for your time in reading this.

About to be homeless Please Help

To get started, my name is Ashlyn. I am 24 years old and I am currently enrolled in the Los Angeles Recording School and attend full time. I’m originally from South Carolina and moved to Los Angeles to chase a life long dream of producing music. I also drive for lyft. I actually normally do this 60-75 hours a week while in school to be able to attend school and afford a place to live.

Recently my life has turned into a series of unfortunate events. My car was totaled, I have to park on the street at my apartment and I had to park on a corner after coming home late from work on a Saturday night. Another driver hit my car and completely totaled it. I couldn’t even open the doors to get my stuff out of it. But if you remember, I drive Lyft 60+ hours a week in order to be able to afford school and housing. So this hit me hard. My car was band new and unfortunately I owed more on it than the insurance was able to give me so I now have no way to actually make a living.

I have been applying to places all month to try to make up for it but I have to pay my rent or I won’t have a place to live after Sunday. I know I will probably have to crash on some friends couch this close to the dead line but hope to gain my own space soon.

Depending on how much money I can actually raise changes my outcome drastically. My real goal is to raise $15,000. If I can raise this I will be able to keep my apartment and get my car back so I can get back to work and stay in school. If I can’t raise this amount I will take the money I can raise and get on a plane and go back to South Carolina and use whatever extra money I have to live on until I can get a job back there. I would really hate dropping out of school and heading home but I have to be practical.

GOAL BREAK DOWN:

New car down payment and 1st month payment: $5k

Behind on rent + what I’ll need for rent before I’ll get a paycheck: $5k

What I owe this month and next month in Tuition: $400

Laptop/ equipment ruined in car: $4k

Food because I’m out of money completely: $200

I’m asking you to please donate or work out a payment plan with me for when I can work again. I am a girl trying to chase my dreams who happens to be really low on luck but I am not someone who waste opportunity. Thank you so much for your time and if you donate, there aren’t enough words to express how grateful I am to you.

Senior with student Debt!

If you are able to help it would mean a great deal to me.

Life has been much harder on others I realize but when I saw this web site I decided to take a deep breath and ask. It’s hard to ask. I have been taught it is wrong to do. I am trying to be realistic about my future and how the state of my finances will effect mine and my husband’s future.

I am currently working, and I am also trying to battle Fibromyalgia with PTSD.

Again, I realize I am fortunate in many ways, and more so than so many others.

I went back to school later in life. I left home at age 17 and became a lounge singer. It was a time when there were live bands at most hotel lounges. We worked hard, 5 hours a night, 6 nights a week, and often traveling to the next gig on Sundays.

It was a fun time, I traveled a lot, but it really was work. We often got only 2 weeks off a year.

I show nothing for social security for many of those years because the customer was the agent cut a check to the leader of the group, they cashed it and we all got paid in cash. Thus, my social security at max will be 1,500.00.

I got out of the business at age 31. I had no idea what to do work wise, had never had an apartment much less a bank account. At that time (1986 or so) the term PTSD was not really heard of and I didn’t talk much about the deep emotional, physical, sexual, and financial abuse I had suffered.

I worked at many positions for several years, cleaning houses and some commercial businesses, a nanny, a secretary, salesmen, and bartender.

I went back to school at age 38 and became an RN at age 42.

I worked in surgery for 12-14 years. I worked as a home health care marketer, admissions nurse, case manager, patient advocate, and now work at a computer. My computer nursing work has included Utilization Review, Appeals, and currently education, compliance, access, and adherence.

These last jobs have been challenges in a way I never expected.

I never thought all that I had experienced in my personal life would translate to the effects I now feel.

I have great difficulty concentrating, noise is horrible (other people talking), my body has pain throughout and though I am working with my doctor to manage all this I believe it is only getting worse.

Working 45-50 hours a week does not leave much time for counseling. It does not leave time for just healing… being in nature.

I wish I had more fight left in me. I would fight to make insurance companies to all cover massage therapy. The healing touch is something that is GREATLY undervalued in my opinion.

Finally I have a husband who, though he has his own demons to fight, is always as good to me as he can be.

I am going on 65, he is 77. We met late in life and are doing now what most people in their 30’s do, such as buying a home. It is very modest. We keep it up, and we keep it clean. We are not frivolous with our money, but we are human and want to be able to go out once in a while.

My husband’s health is good and he works part time. I can’t help thinking though… he is still 77!

I cant and don’t want to imagine life without him.

I am broken but trying  to mend. I am full of love but am human in my fears.

If you can help, please do. Thank you. I sincerely pray you will be abundantly blessed. You would certainly be a blessing to me.

With gratitude,

Trisha

60 Day Eviction Notice – Nowhere To Go

Hi, My name is Ken and I need your help. After living in my rented house for 19 years, my landlord decided she wants her house back because she feels her rent to me is too low. I have never been late with a $1600 rent payment in those 19 years! But she decided to serve me with a 60 notice to kick me out. I have no place to go and with rents so high where my family lives, moving expenses and find a place to go will be nearly impossible. I am asking to raise $10,000 to cover major moving expense and costs to move into another place and start over. Please help me and my family. My court ordered move out date is November 1st and I hope to move way before then. Thank you.

Insurance Due – Need Help by the 21st

Hello. My name is Jess and I’m in need of some help. My husband who is a retired army veteran and I just started a trucking company a few months ago. He has a pick-up truck and a trailer that he uses to haul 3 cars on. We kicked off this company back in April and unfortunately we have had some setbacks in trying to get this business going. Needless to say we probably have spent more money on trying to get this going than we have actually made. But the last two months have been horrible for us and now we are behind on our insurance. We owe for two months a total of $4806.37 and we have until Saturday, September 21st to pay before we are cancelled. Now we did manage to come up with $3906 and we are still in need of $900.

 

A lot of people are probably thinking why don’t you cut your loses and move on? It’s hard for us because we already spent a lot of time and energy into this. We are both very determined young minorities that want to build a small and successful business for ourselves and our future kids. We have had some setbacks especially in the past week but even with that we are still determined to try and make this business work. Being a truck driver on the road is not easy especially when we are having to sleep in our truck to cut down on hotel stays. We take showers at a local planet fitness. We have been cutting back on what we eat and have been eating lots of sandwiches and noodles. We know owning a business is not easy and that the first year is the hardest and we are very determined to make it in this business because we know the potential and we just need a little more time to make the right connections.

 

This past week has been one of the most challenging weeks to date. It first started off with our business credit card and debit cards being stolen from us as we were trying to do a good deed and assist a man who needed help. We even gave him $20 that we really needed for ourselves to go and buy food and this man stole from us. He even proceeded to charge almost $300 on our credit card at CVS Pharmacy. Then to top it off one of our trailer tires came off and it wasn’t a fix that my husband could do so we had to reach out to a business that had roadside assistances and that set us back $900 which we planned on using for our insurance.

 

So if anyone can bless us with a donation we would greatly appreciate

Last shot at college

I am writing this request with nowhere else to turn- I work full time, two full-time jobs over the last two summers, have done everything the “right” way and yet I am still unable to scrounge up enough to go to the school of my dreams.

Let me tell you a little about myself. In high school, I was the captain of my improv team, participated in musicals and plays, and was always starting a new project. My love for performing arts is rivaled by nothing else. I also have bipolar disorder, which has landed me in the hospital a few times over the last couple of times but I can proudly say that I have opened myself up to help and through the help of a wonderful therapist I am on the right track.

Last year, I was accepted into the Theatre School at Depaul University, enrolled, secured a roommate, and just as everything was going too good to be true, my parents disowned me due to religious differences. I was crushed. Without their help, I couldn’t nearly afford to go to Depaul. However, I picked myself back up and hoped that all the scholarships I had applied to would allow my dreams to be possible. Unfortunately, I only heard back from one national essay contest for which I was a regional winner..and awarded $50. No big deal, I thought, I can just attend community college for the first year, save up enough money, and go to my dream school next year!

Easier said than done. While I thought I had a lot of bills at my parents’ house (I paid for a good majority of my living expenses), being on my own has proven to be a whole other beast. At this point, even community college is a stretch, though I did choose a job that provides tuition assistance. I am asking as a last resort, throwing my hope into the world, that someone will help me achieve my dream. I will continue to work as hard as I can to make this a reality for myself and to keep myself going, and I would truly appreciate any help I can get.

New mom freaked out about money

My husband and I are expecting our first child in a couple of weeks.  We are so excited, but I’m dreading going back to work already!  The whole situation is difficult for me to problem solve, and I think about it constantly.

I finished cosmetology school two years ago, and have been doing hair while he completed an HVAC program and is now working an entry level spot with a great company.  Our future is bright, but our current situation is tight- financially.  We didn’t want to wait too long to start a family because I’m already 37, and he’s 42.  We are late bloomers, but hard workers with big dreams.

I thought that going back to work would just be an easy thing I had to do, but now can see I was very ignorant to the financial and emotional cost.  I don’t want to leave our baby for at least a year! I’m not even sure I can make enough to justify the cost of care, as we have moved for Jerrod’s school, and need to move one more time because his new job is too far a commute.  Moving towns/salons basically means starting over with my income.

We have done our best to maximize the budget, but we just don’t have a lot of income from our new careers yet, and we’re still paying for the education.  We plan on going down to one car as soon as we’re not upside down in one, and living closer to my husbands office- which should be soon.  Currently my bills are still too high for him to cover month to month, and our lease isn’t up until January 31st.  I’m only making enough to cover my bills with very little for savings.

His parents have offered to help as much as they can, but they are on fixed income and have a lot of medical expenses.    We don’t own anything of value to sell.  We’re true late bloomers!  I’m delaying my work from home job applications until we know when baby is coming for sure, but my research has not turned up very many practical options so far.  We live in a super small, low-income town, which is not helpful but will hopefully be remedied ASAP.

Any amount of money would help.  Approximately $5,000 would give us time to figure out a work from home situation that includes me doing hair for clients from the house and/or hopefully finding some legit work at home situation in the customer service area.  I’m also more than thrilled to consider a remote job opportunity rather than a cash donation.  I’m obviously not above asking for money, but if I could earn it that would for be even better.

Thank you so much for just reading this.  Your time and consideration is sincerely appreciated.

I wanna make something out of myself before it’s too late

This is probably the only time I would ever do something like this. I’ve been very hesitant about asking for money online, but I know I can’t do this on my own. For once in my life I feel confident with what I wanna do career wise. I’ve been in and out of dead end jobs like fast food and warehouse ones, but that’s not something I wanna do for the rest of my life. I wanna make something of myself. My parents aren’t from the US, they came here on their own and made a living somehow. They didn’t have proper education either back in their home and never went to college. Yet turned out great! Unfortunately, they’re stuck working jobs that just barely keep us afloat financially. Now, I have 3 older brothers who still currently live in this household and 2 of them work where my parents work. The other at a warehouse. Altogether we have a decent amount of money to keep us stable, but I’m currently not working and I can’t contribute whatsoever. Believe me, I want to help as much as I can, my dream is for my parents to retire. But even if I do find a decent job, I’ll never have enough to give them something like that. Now I know what the hell I wanna do with my life career wise and I really want to pursue it, but as I said, since we barely make enough money to keep us afloat, asking my parents to pay for school really isn’t something I wanna burden them with. I wanna make something out of myself, I wanna make them proud, but I need help. This probably sounds so cheesy, but for once my career isn’t just an, “I dunno.” I wanna become a vet. I wanna help animals who need it. I’m a bit allergic to cats, but I sure as hell ain’t gonna let that stop me. I can feel that this is something I wanna do for the rest of my life. Sure it’s gonna take some time to have enough money for my parents to retire comfortably, but as long as I get my schooling done and then not have to lift a finger in that process? That would literally be a dream come true. I’ve looked into a community college and the course is about $2500 to become certified for an exam to become a veterinary assistant or something along those lines. I’m still doing my research. I’m 21 and I feel like if I don’t give this a shot now, it’ll be too late if I try in the future when I feel, “stable.” My parents aren’t getting any younger, so I’m asking, begging, for any help I can get. I know this isn’t as important as something like medical bills, or food on the table. Believe me, I’m very much grateful for all I have in my life, but I wanna give back to the ones who gave me this life. Without my parents I wouldn’t be here and without their struggle, we wouldn’t be in this house. I just really want them to see at least one of their kids take advantage of all the benefits we have here in the US. I want them to be proud. Make it feel like at least their trip here was worth it because they’ve said it dozens of times that they wanna go back because of how much we struggle here. And if I were to do something meaningful with my life, I could help them relax a little bit. Not only that, but it would be something I absolutely love doing. Working with animals. I’ve been interested in becoming a vet since I was 8 or 9. Any kind of help be very greatly appreciated. I would want to pay anyone who contributes back. Even if it takes time for me, I don’t care. I would be forever grateful. If by chance anyone does read through all this and decides to help out,

Help me get home

I’m James G.

One day my brother messaged me about my dad being in the hospital. He had apparently been there longer than my brother had said. I got there right away and wasn’t able to communicate with him. By this point, he was suffering from anemia and liver failure at the time which caused him to be in a state of confusion, I believe.

My dad died that same day in May 27, 2018 from multiple things. It was a combination of the cancer he used to have along with guillain-barré syndrome that wasn’t treated right away and a bad liver that was failing. His name was Robert G.

My dad was the most important person in my life and it was very devastating losing him 22 years into my life. He always told me about how he wanted to stay alive to see me succeed and start a family. I wanted him to see that too but unfortunately it never happened.

Fast forward to January of 2019, my mom and her boyfriend who have always hated me— telling me to do things like kill myself, that I might as well because I don’t do anything right and I’m worthless.. Kicked me out because they believed I ate all the oreos. I didn’t, it was my little half brother who did so but they thought I was lying and decided to kick me out— yes for a very petty reason.

I went to move in with my aunt and after a couple days she let me know it was only temporary and I had to go. I tried my best to prove from the start that I could help them out and pay rent but they didn’t give me that chance.

I then moved in with my brother who demanded I pay him $20 a day. I was working and he wasn’t. Still, $20 a day was too much for me to afford. He got mad that I wasn’t able to pay him and with his friend, beat me, broke my ribs, my phone, and dragged me to the street, pushing me to the road and took all my stuff. Including the watch my dad had given me before he died.

Luckily my best friend helped me out by letting me live at his place. However his roommate hated me from the start and doesn’t want me to be here. No, I haven’t paid rent here cause I have had bad luck with trying to land a job and keep it.

One job fired me cause they didn’t get enough business. The other one, a rude coworker was yelling and I got fired for telling him to calm down and chill out.

I currently have a job lined up which is good, however I need to get out fast cause my roommate is a bully. He doesn’t let me sit or sleep on the couches, he picks me up and pushes me off, he tells all his friends that I’m an unemployed bum and my best friend doesn’t back me up.

My guitar which was very close to my heart— my dad and mom payed for it for my birthday. It was my first guitar ever and it was a nice one too… It was stolen from the apartment but oddly enough… None of my friend’s valuables or guitars were stolen even though they were more expensive and left out in the open unlike mine.

The rest of my family either wants nothing to do with me or can’t help me out based on the fact they are too busy supporting other people they care more about.

I do have one person who loves me and cares about me. This girl in Europe we’re in a serious relationship, planning on getting married even. Yes, I know she is real I have proof. We have an apartment there in Europe but I need to get another birth certificate since my brother destroyed mine, buy a passport, visa and figure out all this other stuff  involved in moving from one country to another.

It all cost a lot, especially paying an Uber or Lyft to drive me around to these places and the flight itself will cost.. A lot.

I need to come up with  the money in 2 months because in 3, the lease ends and I become homeless as no one else will take me in.

Help me get home, to Europe to be with the girl I love. Please.

I will appreciate it with all my heart.

TLDR :

Dad died from liver failure, cancer and guillain-barré syndrome.

Mom and her boyfriend hate me so kicked me out.

Aunts and uncles don’t care about me and refuse to take me in.

Brother beat me up and stole my stuff then destroyed my birth certificate.

Current roommate or his friends are selling my stuff and bullying me.

I need money fast to get out of here and catch a flight to Europe to be with the girl I love before the lease is up in 3 months and I won’t have a place to stay— I’ll be homeless.

Life Is Hard Lately

Hi, I have recently been through some tough times with my bills, living arrangement, and car arrangement. I recently moved into the house I am living in at the moment and have been struggling to pay rent each month. My electric bill and water bill are also hard for me to pay since the debt on my credit card is so high. I have considered canceling my phone service to save that extra cash each month, but I need the carrier service to keep in touch with family and close friends that may offer me some side jobs. I am currently on Fiverr trying to do anything on that website to get small amounts of cash, as well as working as a transcriptor on Rev, but unfortunately those methods are so wishy-washy that I have only made $8 on both websites since early June. I am also on many survey sites, but as most of you probably know, it’s very hard to make any kind of money on those websites. I have been struggling financially for a while now, but am just now asking for help because I had to get over my pride first.

I owe about $2000 of credit card debt (the max of my credit card is $2000, or else I would pay my bills on there) and I have yet to pay my electric and water bill. I have a job but I just had 4 separate bills come out at the same time and my bank account is dangerously low (I will probably overdraft tomorrow if I don’t get any money). I have zero money in my savings account which if I did, I would definitely use it instead of asking for money on this platform. I am trying to find side jobs, but since my work schedule is so strange, it’s hard for me to find one. I also have a cat who I am taking care of and I need to buy her food and litter (her life is more important to me than mine) so I need the money for her little life too.

The money I will receive will go directly to my cat food and litter, bills, and then I will attempt to make somewhat a dent on my past due credit card bills. Hopefully after this, my situation will improve. I truly appreciate all of you who read this and am so grateful for any help I receive through this time in my life. And my cat appreciates it too! I have attached a picture of my PayPal credit card debt statement as the attachment.

25 year old single mom and 8 year old need help with moving costs due to landlord selling house.

Hello, my name Is Hayley Ann. I’m a 25 years old single mother living in Ohio. I guess I’ll just start by giving you a little bit of background on myself and then I’ll go into my current situation and what I’m asking for help with. Well I grew up in a pretty darn low-income family, so I’m used to doing everything on a tight budget. I never need much to get by. When I was 16, I met an older boy and it resulted in me getting pregnant with my daughter. After being cheated on with several women and both mentally and physically abused by him for my entire pregnancy and the first 4 months of my daughter’s life, I left and decided that I didn’t need him. If my mother could do it alone with My sister and I than I could. When my daughter was about 8 Months old I met a boy and his mother quickly became another grandmother for my daughter. After 3 years, Him and I split but I stayed friends with his mother. Sometime later I ended up moving in with his mother so that Ava could go to a better school system. When she had to move out to help her son (My ex) pay for a house he bought that he couldn’t afford, I talked with the landlord and asked if I could take over her lease. He told me that he would rather just do a month to month deal. So fast-forward 5 years later, and I get a call from the landlord that he has sold the property. I asked him what would happen to us and he said he has no idea what the new owner plans to do and that I should expect mail or a phone call from him soon. Oh! I forgot to mention, my landlord didn’t bother to tell us that the house was even on the market so I had no idea until it was already sold and I later found out he has been working on this sale for 3 months. So I get a call from the new owner and he says that he sent out our 30 day notices and that he is just gutting this house and raising the rent on it too 1500/month. So, we now have 20 days and there is just no way I can come up with the 1200 its going to cost to move in 14 days, because I need to give myself a week to pack and move everything as well. So, I guess that’s what I’m asking for.

Money for the initial move. Application Fees, Back ground Check fees, first month, last month and a security deposit. Plus anything additional for the actual moving. Someone to help because I don’t have anyone in my life capable of moving furniture and money for a moving truck, Had I had more time I would have been about to come up with it.  On this short of notice, I just can’t. I want to stay in this city because of my daughters’ school. She has incredible anxiety issues that cause her extreme stomach pain and switching schools would be terrible for her.  Especially because, she would probably have to go to school in a lesser school system… If we can get this house, I don’t know what we are going to do, Our animals with suffer, Im in college online and wont be able to continue that. I work from home online, So that’s out as well. This will literally set back my entire life. So, I am asking for help., Swallowing my pride and asking. Will you help me?

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story and I hope everything you put out into the world comes full circle.

P.s Sorry for the short novel.

No idea I typed this much until I went back and read it.

Help Me Help Others

Hi, I’m Rosina, and due to some unforeseen issues with my family and work I’m here as a last resort. It is with great humility that I am requesting a donation of $3000 to help me with Rent payments as well as essential living needs at this time. 

In August of this year my family went into a bit of a crisis and my help was required. I am the primary caretaker for my elderly parents (they are in their 80s) and at the beginning of August my Mom fell and injured the ligaments in her hand and I had to help her and my Dad (who can barely walk due to spinal stenosis) with basic needs, meals, laundry, etc. At almost the same time my brother’s wife who has a mental illness was hospitalized for a month and he needed a caretaker for his 6yr old son. He lives in a neighboring state so I was spending about 15-20 hrs weekly driving back and forth to help care for my nephew and Mom and Dad.

During this time I was unable to keep up with the little work that I did have and there was basically no income. (I am a Massage and Bodywork Therapist). I interviewed for 6 positions in the last 2mths and was completed ghosted or told they did not have enough work or money to pay me.  Very frustrating!!

I was able to secure a position as Lead Bodyworker /Natural Health Consultant at a local Spa and we are still in the preliminary stages of creating the Natural Health Programs so this may take several weeks before I see a consistent paycheck…so I need a way to just hold on until then.

Having this large sum come to me at once will literally keep the roof over my head and ease some of my own fears of losing everything…although I am a highly motivated, positive person the thought can be paralyzing sometimes! It will also help me stay calm, focused and healthy so I can help others by continuing to do my heart centered work that means so much to me.

If you feel a connection with my story a donation would be so greatly appreciated and utilized wisely. Thank you so much for your consideration and donation.

Could someone help me please?

Hi. My name is Teresa. I’ve screwed up bigtime and need help. Not sure what to do. I’m trying to save my marriage because if my husband finds out what I did my marriage will be over. He is now a retired United States Marine and has PTSD and Bipolar syndrome, but he will not get help. I’ve begged him to but he won’t. So he has this condition and so I haven’t told him anything to upset him for a very long time now. I hide anything to do with this. I walk on eggshells everyday.
In 2007 my twins graduated from high school and my son 1 1/2 years older than them also decided to go to college all at the same time. Yep, so three in college at the exact same time. My husband was overseas at the time in Afghanistan and so I applied for student loans for all three of them and they all were approved. He doesn’t know about them. At that time I was working in the hospital as a cardiac scheduler. I was making payments from my job until 2012 when I needed a stomach surgery to fix my stomach, esophagus and sphincter that was eaten away from acid. I was out of work for longer than my job would allow and lost my job. I haven’t been able to find a job since. I recently have had 15 surgeries on my right foot and was in a wheelchair for 19 months. I have just started walking again. I go to physical therapy 3 times a week for 2 hours a day. My husband wouldn’t let me ask for disability. He also didn’t take 1 dime of disability from the government when he retired. Even after 20+ years of service. So I put the loans on deferment until that ran out and then forbearance until that ran out this month.
I don’t know what to do. I can’t pay the $2800 a month that they want now and I cannot tell him. It will not be good. I don’t want to loose my marriage or him. Because he says he wants to die sometimes when little things come up. I can’t handle my lie anymore. This will kill him. I really need help please. I’m very very scared. I am not perfect and know this is the stupidest thing I’ve ever done, but I begging for help. The bill total is $179,000.
Just last month my father passed away, he was 96 years old and we paid for his funeral. I used all my savings, every cent. My mom needed the help so I didn’t think twice. Yet, I’m sick now with worry and don’t know what to do.

I am ~$6,000 in debt and I’ve only turned 18 this year.

Hi there,

 

I appreciate you taking the time to read this request. I will try to keep it short but I don’t want to ask for money without providing a clear and concise explanation of why I am doing this in the first place. 

 

My name is Allie and I turned 18 this past March. I’m already financially suffering, although this isn’t something new. My family has always been poor, but it feels like it’s only been getting worse and worse since 2017. In 2017, the year I turned 16, I got a job at McDonald’s to help pay bills and buy some things I’ve always wanted but couldn’t get from my family. I wasn’t making a lot, but I would put $25 of every check away to save for a pair of shoes for myself. The rest of my check would go to my mom for our gas and electric bills. It was around this time that my father’s alcoholism was at an all-time low. He was arrested towards the end of the year and wasn’t around to help with bills or accumulate any income. My mother worked, but she only makes around $4,000 annually. In August of 2017 (my father left home around the 15th of August), I got another job to help pay for our house and car payment. I was making minimum wage here in Utah, which is $7.25 so all together, I was making $1,000 monthly. 

 

In September of 2017, the only car we had to our name was repossessed. It turns out that 6 months prior to the car being taken away, my mother was giving my dad $400 a month to pay our car payment. To this day, we have no idea where that money went, but it wasn’t going towards our car so it was taken away from us. My mom’s job relies on her to have a car. I had to walk to and from two different places of work every other day. We couldn’t walk to the grocery store because it was too far, so we had to walk to a gas station every other night to buy milk and chips to keep us satiated for a couple nights. My mom couldn’t work because she needed a car, so I was the primary source of income for my three person family. I was still 16 at this time. In October, a church leader of mine found out about my living situation and found another leader who was selling an old car of hers. Her name was Emily. She lent me a 2007 Mazda v6 and I drove it around, rent free for 8 months. In around May of 2018, I inquired about purchasing this car. It was in amazing condition so she was initially going to sell it for $4,000. She told me that because of my circumstances and with my father now in rehab, she would sell it to me for $3,000. That was a $1,000 discount. I was amazed by her generosity. We decided I would be able to pay her $150 a month. Since then, I’ve only been able to pay $300 all together.

 

Around June 2018, I now only had one job at McDonald’s, but I was still trying to make enough for my mother, brother, and I to survive while paying half of a check to make a car payment. I was still in school, trying to keep up all my grades in all of my AP classes. I can’t remember another time when I felt so empty and so mechanical. I never hung out with friends and it felt like I never got a chance to be a teenager. All I did was work and try to keep my family’s heads above water while my dad was still gone. Without realizing, I’d assumed this role of care-taker for my family. I never noticed the crushing weight of responsibility on my shoulders. This continued well into this year, 2019. I’d changed jobs twice. I made the mistake of getting two credit cards that have turned into $800 worth of debt. I have $500 worth of overdraft fees in my checking account and I haven’t even been able to use my debit card. A laptop I had received from my last place of work turned in $1,000 worth of debt since I had to quit. I had to quit because I was hospitalized from a mental breakdown. I have been out of work since I was in the hospital for two weeks. I have been struggling to find a job. My mother is $2,000 in debt to T-Mobile and I am not able to get a new phone service since my phone is locked by T-Mobile, I haven’t received any calls from the jobs I applied to. I can’t afford a therapist or a dentist even though I have two painful cavities in my molar. I was in a dark place when I was carrying the weight of caring for my family. I can’t go back to that time because I know that I would break from the pressure. Being in so much debt makes it so hard.

 

I wish I didn’t have to ask for help in such a way, but I don’t have any other options right now. It feels like I’m falling to the floor of the ocean with two weights on my feet. If anyone would be able to help me, my paypal url is paypal.me/allietahbo

 

I’m even willing to pay back what I receive when I get a new job. I’m still looking, but being without a phone makes it incredibly hard.

 

Thank you for making it this far,

Allie T.

Can’t Get A Break

First, I wanted to thank you for reading this and I feel awful that I can’t help others that are on this site looking for help. About 7 years ago I lost a very good job because the company sold and they didn’t need me any longer. I was out of work for a year trying to find a job with a comparable salary, but ended up having to take a huge pay cut just to get back into the work force. Shortly before I lost that job, I had a wrist surgery that was supposed to be a simple removal of a ganglion cyst, but the doctor accidentally cut the tendon to my thumb. He realized he did this a few days later because I couldn’t bend my thumb. He then shipped me off to another doctor to fix what he did. The second doctor was able to reattach the tendon by redirecting it. I had to go through a year of physical and occupational therapy to get some of my mobility back. I not only had to pay for both of the surgeries after what insurance/COBRA covered, but I also had to pay $50 per therapy visit which occurred 2 to 3 times per week for a year. That was the beginning of me falling behind financially and when I thought things were finally going to look up something else would knock me back down. Later on I had to have two major surgeries for the removal of fibroids in my uterus. The first surgery they removed them so I still had the chance to have children, but the fibroids returned so I had to have a laparoscopic hysterectomy. I was never able to have children, so I had a couple rescue cats instead. Over the years as they aged their health deteriorated so I had to have them euthanized. Besides past due medical and vet bills, my car broke down so after I spent money on the mechanic trying to figure out what was wrong with it; they were never able to get it running again. I ended up having to by another used vehicle. I’m behind on all of my bills, previous credit card debt from medical and vet bills and car repair bills, I’m behind in utilities. I’m trying to not buy too much for food because I can’t afford to lose my apartment or my car. I’ve always been the type of person that would be there to help everyone in need including animals, but now that I need help, my friends and family won’t or can’t help me. I don’t spend money on going out to eat or for entertainment, on new clothes or shoes. All of my money goes to paying what is necessary to keep my current rescued cats fed, a home over our head and my car. I’m not looking for someone to help pay off my credit card debt. There is too much of that and my credit has already been shot with everything going to collections. I’m just looking for someone to help get me caught up so I can start living paycheck to paycheck again until I can find a higher paying job or a side job. I need about 2,000 to 5,000 to get my head above water so I can pay past due bills, eat and keep a home over my head. When the doctor cut the tendon to my thumb I was devastated and mad that I had to pay money to try to fix what he messed up, but they have you sign a waiver in case there are complications. It seems like everything went downhill from that point forward. I just need a break so I can refocus my attention on helping others again. Thank you for reading and God Bless.

Just trying to get out of the debt cycle.

I really don’t like asking for help. I never have, and I never will. But every month is just getting worse and worse and I don’t feel like I have much choice anymore.

I work for a living, but currently I’m the only one in my home with a paycheck. And factory work doesn’t pay the bills, or make sure my 7 year old has everything he needs, and feeding 5 people ain’t no joke. Our rent is almost $1000 a month by itself, and then I also have to pay our bills, and buy groceries. My fiance has been trying to get a job, but it sometimes feels like the entire town has something against us, and now that our only vehicle is broken down with no money to get it repaired, it’s become next to impossible for us to get out of it.

So I took out a payday loan. It was easily managed at first, largely due to working several hours of overtime every week. But I kept having to renew it every week. And some weeks I would have to go higher just to make it through. At first it seemed like a fine enough plan, but before too much longer the monster got out of hand. But I thought as long as I kept getting overtime I’d be able to manage. We’ve been busy non-stop since I started over a year ago, so why would it stop anytime soon? And then the well ran dry out of nowhere. Our company started funneling work to other factories run by our owners, and now we’re all worried about whether or not we’re going to get laid off, instead of worrying about when we’re getting off the overtime.

I have no way to pay the loan anymore. My car is broken down, my credit has gone straight into the trash, so I can’t get a loan from the bank and I can barely afford the bills I have coming this month. I have no way to pay off the loan and I have no way to do anything about it.

I’m not asking for the world. $1500-3000 dollars to get myself out of the cycle, pay some bills and hopefully get my car running so I can get my girlfriend out looking for a job and know that she has a way there. Please, thank you, and god bless.

At a Loss

On Easter Sunday my significant other told our family that he was leaving. We were beyond shocked. Shortly after I discovered he had been entertaining another woman on the side.

This is where my life started to fall completely apart. My significant other and I have been together for almost 16 years. We have four children, two of which were from my previous marriage. Everything we had together over the 16 years is in my significant others name. EVERYTHING.

I raised our children 95% of the time on my own so that he could work a job where he made 5x the amount of money that I did working as a licensed childcare provider in our home.  His job required him to live away from home,  as it was too far to commute on a daily basis. He lived away from home mid February through the end of November. He would come home on the weekends if he didn’t have to work to spend time with our family.

Now, with everything in his name, he is asking me and the kids to move out of our home. Because of this request I had to quit my job of 13 years as well, so we are now homeless and I am jobless. He is sitting pretty well, as he is able to pay his bills with one check, with the ability to bank the other three each month. I do not have any money in my bank account, as I barely made it living check to check each week. It was humiliating to have to ask him for money if I needed help so I depended heavily upon my credit cards. I owe thousands of dollars, as I relied on them for everything; groceries, gas, school supplies, school clothes, school functions, birthdays and holidays, etc..

So, here we sit. Homeless, jobless and broke. Not only broke money wise but broken as a person. No place to live, no job to save money to find a place to live, drowning in credit card debt and totally heartbroken.

Depression has set in double time. I feel like I’ve failed myself but mostly I feel like I’ve failed my children. I only have my love to offer them right now but sometimes it doesn’t feel like enough. I feel like I’ve finally hit rock bottom. I’m trying to be strong for them but I feel like I’m dying inside. I’m totally lost, trying to figure out how to pull myself out of this situation so my kids and I can move on, rebuild our lives and be happy again.

Any  donation to help us get on our feet would be truly appreciated. I am a grateful person and I always pay it forward when I can.

Thank you

Don’t Get Too Sick In The US

Hello, my name is Colby Marks. I am 36, presently married, although due to all the financial stress that we are facing, that might change. I have 2 children. I am living in a suburb of Houston, in a house that I bought in 2012 as part of getting a new position with my employer. The house is one of the things at risk of us losing, but I’ll explain in a bit. Prior to moving here, I worked out of Alaska, in the oil and gas industry, and still do. We moved here so that I no longer would have to spend so much time away from home. And for a bout 4 years it was pretty awesome. Then the oil industry tanked in 20015, and I was laid off. The severance package was ok. The smart thing to do at the time was sell the house, and live somewhere cheaper, or move back to Louisiana, but that didn’t happen. As a result, I also had to drain what I had in retirement until we landed back on our feet. Ended up back with my original company in 2017 working in West Texas. And ended up being farmed out back to Alaska for about 9 months. Started back in West Texas around September 2018.Between that time and December, I know now, the first signs that something wasn’t ok with me started popping up. I’ve always had anxiety issues since I was 18, but they were getting increasingly worse for no reason. At the start of November, I started getting numbness in both feet, sometimes with a needle sensation. One day when I wa picking my son up from school, my left foot just kind of stopped working, I guess it was more like my ankle, and I fell in the parking lot. I blamed it on the shoes I had on and my son had a laugh. The numbness had started to go up my left leg, and I would sometimes have it in my left arm as well. I went see my doctor who ordered blood work, and at the time said I needed more vitamin D. I followed her directions with the vitamins, and it seemed to help for a while. I went out to a rig on the 17th on November, the night before my baby girl’s birthday. I worked through Thanksgiving and Christmas, so that I would be able to have a decent amount of time at home, and by decent according to my boss, that would have been 7 to 10 days, max. So I also requested to use my vacation time to take a trip with my family. During this time I noticed I was aching more and hurting in places that normally didn’t hurt, along with anxiety, and now stomach issues, as well as my hair falling out. After returning from the trip, both of my kids started having GI issues, but the doctors didn’t see anything o concern. I on the other hand, was hurting more, causing me to do less, and started affecting my sleep. I went back to my doctor, who referred me to a rheumatologist. He ordered more blood work and chest Xrays. The blood work showed that I had antibodies that people with Lupus have, my iron was low, and also thyroid antibodies. The chest xray made him think I also had emphysema. I wa referred to an Endocrinologist and Pulmonologist, and walked out of that visit with a diagnosis of Undifferentiated Connective Tissue Disorder, which is apparently what they say when at the time, you don’t have enough symptoms or markers for Lupus, there are 11, and you need 4 to join that club. At the time I only had 3, although at other times I had 4 or 5. Either way the treatment was the same, Plaquenil, an anti-malarial drug. Crappy thing about it, is that with some people it can take up to 6 months to fully work. Which I had that bad luck. Right before all this, I requested and was put on paid medical leave, which starts at 100% of my pay, and every 5/6 weeks drops 20%, which is part of why I am in the boat I’m in now. But I will get back to that in a minute. The endocrinologist said that for now, my thyroids were functioning properly, but at some point they will cause my to have hypo/hyper thyroidism. What concerned him was my prolactin levels, for which he put me on a medication for women trying to get pregnant, which by the way if you read the side effects for men, is quite funny. When I left that day he said that if that doesn’t work, he wants to MRI my head, because the only cause would bea tumor. So I was even more of a mess for about a month, when I found out the medication leveled my hormones out. I forgot to mention that I also have high blood pressure, which wasn’t being controlled very well during this with medication, so I was also sent to a cardiologist. Who added a medication, did an EKG, and ordered a stress test. The test came out fime, and the medication eventually did it’s job. The lung doctor had tests done in his office, after which he had me go and do a similar test at the hospital.  Where I found out my lungs function or process CO2 properly, but my airways are restricted. I suspected something, because prior to all of this, I jogged frequently amd did 1/2 marathons, but at this point I was easily winded. Auto-immune diseases can attack specific organs, so that is why they were checking everything. But my lungs have not gotten any worse.  After that, it was wait for the Plaquenil to work, or try something new, unless I started having organ issues. By now it was end of March, start of April. I was still hurting, a lot. Mostly in my knees, hips, neck, and legs. Not sleeping well, GI issues, and anxiety which caused me to isolate myself and barely speak to neighbors, but also drove a wedge between my wife and I. By the end of April is when we started falling behind with finances. Right before the start of all this, I got a truck, which I could afford easily at the time, but is no longer the case.I was barely able to come up with enough money to stop the repossession a little more than a week ago. Symptoms were not improving all that much, and I was to stay on leave. June came, and I was feeling better, and the plan was for me to go back to work the middle of July. At this point I was experiencing pain in my groin that was the same as the pain I experienced when I had a hernia, which was followed by surgery. I thought it best to get it looked at, since I was about to return to work, which requires a lot of heavy lifting. She sent me back to the same surgeon. He said there was now hernia, but wanted me to see a specialist. And also said I could go back to work, but on restricted duty. I sent in that paperwork, to which my employer replied that they cannot accommodate the restrictions in place, and that I could return once they were removed. The surgeon said that the specialist would have to clear me. The specialist couldn’t see me until last Friday, August 30, 2019. My paid leave turned into unpaid leave on August 2nd. Prior to that, I was told to fill out paperwork for long term disability in case this very thing were to happen. That paperwork still hasn’t been process, because of doctors dropping the ball with paperwork, as per the insurance company. So I haven’t had any income since August 9th, which was already way less than normal, and we are now living off of my wife’s salary as a teacher. I was approved to return to work this week, but haven’t gotten any phone calls or emails, about when and where. I am more than 3 months behind on my truck note, which is $603/month, and they are back to trying to get it again. I’ve also not been able to pay for insurance, so that has been cancelled. We are 2 months behind on the mortgage, which $2042/month. Owe $350 to the electric company, over $200 on the water. A few hundred dollars on credit card minimum payments. That doesn’t include gas for our vehicles, groceries, or money for the kids school activities. It is a very sad day when you’re at home with your daughter, and she has a friend over, and she asks you to go get grapes, and you tell her that you cant, so she starts looking in her piggy bank and purse. The stress that’s been added to our marriage is beyond words, hell our whole life. And I haven’t even mentioned that I am not 100% sure I will physically be able to do my job, and the anxiety it’s causing me, but I will do what has to be done. I just don’t want my kids to have to see someone towing my truck, turning the lights off, or kicking us out of the house. There are also unpaid medical bill, and short term loans that I stupidly took out thinking it would be a solution. I will be uploading bills soon,just trying to think of the easiest and most efficient way to upload that much. I will also upload copies of the lab results, if needed. I’m asking for $8,000 total, might need closer to 10,000…but I can barely stand the fact that it has come to this.So if there is anyone that can hep, I would be forever grateful.  And for anyone who isn’t, if you’re making good money, or any money really, be smart with it.

Thanks

Dream to Succeed

I’ll try to keep this simple. Feel free to skip to the last paragraph. So I mainly grew up with just my sister and father. My moms story is quite extensive. She was kicked out, and my sister eventually was too. I however was sent to a program called Job Corps where I met a ton of great people. I had only been into music.. nothing else. My father has had a band for quite a while so that explains why I loved to create.

 

So do job corps really helped me socially. Not only that, a lot of people like what I create. I recently got into producing my own music as well. However I doubted my talents until I posted songs online just for myself. All of a sudden I noticed I had been shouted out by artists I look up to (they’re not huge… yet) and had reached 35k plays in two days!! Got a blog post on my music, and a cool small following.

 

Ive always wanted to find a career I can really succeed in and sort of try to bring my family back together. Not like as far as marriage goes. Just actually being able to spend time together and live life how we’ve always dreamt. Or how I always dreamt..

 

As years went went on I gradually began to lose control due to depression, insomnia, anxiety. Lost my job, got evicted from my apartment, and went from $7k in savings to -$1k in debt, lost funding for therapy, and had a visit to the ER from a severe panic attack… all on my birthday. Ended up moving into a home with some chill people. But a certain couple want me out.

 

So in turn, I’ve been doing research on how to be homeless… and how to get out of it. See, I’ve worked with my father since I was 9. We did landscaping up until I was sent to job corps. But I also had to sell things to help my dad not worry about bills… without knowing haha. I was 9yrs old selling candy.. and other stuff… while hiding the money in his dirty laundry to act like he forgot it. I’d also go pay bills he was behind on and act like maybe some church friends helped out. Just things to keep the lights and water on. So I guess I grew up way too fast. But I always felt bad.

 

So currently on the verge of being homeless isn’t scary to me. I’ve experienced enough in life that this would just be a bump in the road. It’s just tiring after a while when you’re working your butt off to just be discouraged and question what you’re even doing this for. My goal is just to make a living off what I love to do. Then invest for future generations that could eventually grow into something helpful for people like me. People who don’t want to depend on others and actually work!

 

I do DoorDash just to get food and some money towards rent. But the environment has grew sour. My family depended on me and now that I’m not in a good place I feel worthless. So much to the point I don’t talk to anyone anymore. I just lock myself away making music all day or working. I don’t sleep much so I have nothing but time. But it becomes dangerously exhausting.

 

Any and all help would not be taken for granted. And it’d be used to establish something and escape the environment that’s meant for me to adapt to and become another statistic. What I need is literally a place to call my own. Like an studio apartment where I can be free of negative energy while getting on my feet. I’m not looking for $100,000. I do have a goal of like $5-$10k to allow me to get back into my investments and produce like I used to. My goal is to use the free time to go to school, get training for a well paid field, and test the waters to see if I can make the music thing really happen.

 

Honestly always feel like crying when I’m being held back from working. I finally worked my butt of to pay off tickets, bank debts, and get my car situated to keep doing DoorDash deliveries since I’m a preferred driver! So just know your donation isn’t for personal gain. I’m trying to prove to the world I can be something. I want to create jobs for people. I want to give back. I want to do everything I see people fortunate enough to do. I want to be able to cover medical costs to better my health. Cover medical bills for family. I just want to.. be.. something in this short amount of time we have and actually leave something for the future.

 

If if you read this all, I appreciate you a ton. I know my topics are all over the place. https://www.paypal.me/kurtiiiss

First Home to Start a Family!

Hello,

We are Miyah and Marcus, the M&M House. When we first got married, our debt was around 10K more than our annual income. Combined. We wanted a home and a family, but we knew we wanted to get out of debt first.

Let’s just say, our first year of marriage had other ideas. In that first year, we ate more soups and ramen than we ever would have liked to, had our only car broken into twice and wrecked once, brought a cheap clunker with a 2K loan, had three deaths in the family, quit smoking, cut out junk food (not because we were health nuts, but because we literally couldn’t afford candy), and had a medical emergency. Since we danced with the poverty level (and worked hard to improve our situation), we’ve never qualified for assistance or relief programs.

For our first two years, we lived in an apartment on the top floor of a drafty building above a bar/restaurant. The hallway always smelled of cigarette smoke, and you could often hear live music from slightly-past-their-prime rock bands on the bar patio while using the bathroom. It was small and smelly, but it was home. For two years, we budgeted, struggled, got jobs that paid us just above the poverty level, worked our behinds off, and moved into a house with a friend. We had paid off about 75-80% of our debt in two years, and we were proud.

We were no quite there yet, but it was a more comfortable spot on the journey…..until our housemate ran out on our contract 4 months into a year-long lease leaving us with a 1K monthly price tag (twice the amount of monthly rent due). Suddenly, we were back on the struggle bus. We set to work, pushing ourselves and boosting our credit score slowly but surely, until we pre-qualified for a house loan.

We were ecstatic! Our hard work was paying off. We imagined toasting glasses of root-beer in our new home and starting our family. We’ve collected and turned in our paperwork, but keeping up with monthly bills and saving for a down-payment has been strenuous. All we need is 4K by September 27, and we’ve got 1K in savings. We’re asking for help, person to person.

If you recognize being “too well off” for assistance and yet “too poor”, give a hand.

Declining Health/Please Help My Family

Hello, my name name is Misty. I’m a wife of almost 17 years and a mother of 3 beautiful children ages 21, 16, and 10. (The youngest 2 are at home) My husband works at Volvo Trucks and has been there for over 21 years. We are a very close, loving family!! However of late we have had some tragic events take place. I have suffered 7 strokes, a heart attack and congestive heart failure among other things in the last 2 years. Due to overwhelming Dr bills and meds, even with good insurance we are struggling terribly! With one stroke I was air lifted, one 20 minute flight=$30,000! So far the insurance is not paying! My husband is working 7 days a week when they will let him but they are starting to cut back. With all of our other bills we are in real trouble! We do not have things such as internet, cable, etc.. Our children do not have electronics and phones or computers. My husband and I have a phone to keep in touch because of my health, we let them use them. They do not have many toys. Their clothes are not the “cool” clothes. Most are from the Goodwill. They are clean and not faded or ripped or anything, just not cool! I feel so bad for them because I feel like it’s my fault we can’t give them the things other kids have. Most weeks it’s a struggle to have enough food. We always manage but it’s never good, nutritious food like I’d like to give them. We can’t get any kind of assistance because we technically “make too much” which is VERY unfair!! Because they do not take into account what we are paying in medical bills plus all of our other bills and provide for our two children all on one income because I can not work. We have a 2012 car now that we are paying $500 a month for but we are getting ready to lose it. Then, I don’t know what we will do. We do not have public transportation to get my husband to work. We can NOT lose that job! Also, almost all of my teeth are broken and messed up due to chronic illness and medication.
I have to have surgery and have dentures made but our dental insurances is not great so I can’t yet. I’m terrified that my teeth will cause another heart attack or other problems! Last week I was stopped by the police for a bad inspection sticker.
The officer kindly informed me that my license is suspended due to no insurance because I let it lapse last month because I didn’t have the money to pay it
Now I have to pay the DMV $645 to get my license back and file an SR22 and get insurance which will go up!! My husband lost his license a couple of years ago for the same reason but he had to keep driving because I’d just had one of my strokes and was unable to drive, he got stopped again, now he has to wait to get it back, so I’m his only ride to work. I HAVE to take him or he will go to jail!! He is 45 years old, the only time in his entire life he’s been in trouble was over a suspended license due to no insurance and they sent him to jail for 10 days!!! It’s honestly just one thing after another!! We have worked hard ALL of our lives!! Never asking for anything! (I’m embarrassed to do this really) We don’t do drugs. We don’t drink at all. We don’t go out. We don’t buy anything unless it’s necessary except maybe a candy bar every now and then for my kids at the gas station. We really just need a break! Please understand I am NOT asking for a HANDOUT!! I will pay back ANY AND ALL of what I get!! I will sign whatever legal document you have!! We just need a break and to get straightened out. Please help us! Please! Or if you can’t please send us to someone that may be able to. And if you can’t do that, please just say a prayer for my family. Thank you for your time. If you have any questions just let me know! Thank you!
Pic is of my youngest and I just trying to have a bit of fun and be as happy as we can given the circumstances.

Danger of losing everything!!

My name is Shirley Fason. I will try not to make it too long, but it says to be honest.  To be honest, I have never done this before. It’s very hard for me to ask my own family much less complete strangers. I am pretty much writing this in tears, but here I go.

I am 40 years old. I was a single parent all of my kids life. I took care of my bed bound grandmother for almost 12 years before her passing. I had my kids at a young age and always work two jobs. I am a good hearted person that have made mistakes like any other normal person. I was a medical assistant for 13 years until I lost my job in 2012. I moved to TN where I struggled still with my kids and boyfriend. He didn’t have to be homeless with us, but he did. We got up on our feet. We ended up moving back to Florida because I wanted to be around my family. Pretty much, bad mistake. We came down here and got more in debt than we already was. Our truck broke down. My boyfriend turned into my husband. He was the only one working at the time. We had to invest money into another car. We have lived with a woman for two years that did help us financially but basically a loan. I started working three delivery jobs delivering food for Grubhub, Doordash and Postmates. But Everytime we get up on our feet something always happens. My husband lost his job and everything was on me. I have gotten behind on both of my storages in TN(this will be auctioned on and 09-09-19) here in FL…we are still behind on our carnote…we are homeless right now and our car is the only thing we have….I have wrote checks from my husband’s acct to my acct just to get cash to pay what bills I can but this week it will bounce…my car insurance cancelled on 09-07-19…my husband hasn’t talked to his kids in months because he can’t pay child support and his kid’s mother blocked him from calling because she hasn’t gotten any money. We can’t afford to get our own place because it’s too hard trying to save money while homeless and paying for motel here and there. I would like to go back to college but I owe 945.00. I only owe that from wen my grandmother passed away. My husband would like to go to truck driving school, but financial aid only covers up to 5000.00 and we have to come up with 1000.00 for Roadmaster because we don’t have good credit. I have several health problems but no health insurance. Can’t afford it…I could probably go on forever, but I know this is too long. My storage I will lose on Monday is 248.00.

I am not asking for certain amount. I would just like any help u can give me….

If you did take the time to read this, God Bless you and thank you again for taking the time to read it.

Also, I don’t have bills I get for my carnote or storage in TN, but I do have contact numbers and my acct number. So you don’t think I am lying.

PLEASE HELP KENNETH LOVE LIFE AGAIN

Hello, my name is Katherine. My husband, Kenneth, became disabled due to severe neuropathy in both arms and legs (thanks to diabetes) along with a myriad of other medical conditions that have made his life miserable. He currently has $34,894.19 in medical expenses and counting with every doctor visit and treatment. We’d like to move to a warmer climate in the near future due to Kenneth’s illnesses. His physician told us it could help his breathing and possibly his pain management. At this time, it is impossible for us to relocate with all of his medical expenses. He’s always dreamed of owning a house in the country, but he knows that cannot possibly happen in his current situation, most likely never.

All he talks about is how he’s let down his family by becoming disabled. He says we shouldn’t have to suffer because of his disabilities. Our children and I do our best to let him know it isn’t his fault, but he insists that it is. Depression has a strong hold on him so the kids and I are constantly concerned about his well-being. We truly believe he has lost his will to live due to all of the stress his illnesses and medical expenses have placed on him. We know how tough life can be so it was difficult for us to ask for handouts from people, but we’re desperate at this point. We’re so sorry.

Here’s Kenneth’s story…

Kenneth was forced to quit his job due to his health conditions. He assumed that he’d be able to return to work in no time once his condition improved. Unfortunately, his condition only continued to deteriorate until it became obvious that he was never going to be able to work again as he has since become wheelchair-bound and dependent upon an oxygen tank.

Kenneth has filed for disability, but the process takes a while. His disability attorney told us it could be up to 18 months before he receives a hearing date with the judge. Without insurance, his medical bills have been piling up. We’ve requested assistance in every way possible with little success. Negotiations on his bills haven’t gone in his favor either.

This is a last resort effort to help Kenneth be able to enjoy life again. Eliminating or greatly reducing his outstanding medical bills would lift so much weight from his shoulders and mind.

I realize that I’m asking for a miracle, but he’s worth it. Even the strongest person can be eaten alive by desperation. I believe that’s Kenneth’s state at this point.

Every penny of any donations received would be greatly appreciated and would go towards his outstanding medical bills and nothing else. I promise this isn’t some type of scam. If you cannot make a donation, I completely understand. It’s tough out there. I want to sincerely thank you for taking time to read Kenneth’s story.

A,,,,,Lifetime Movie!!!

I’m not a English major or a writer so please bare with me. I thought I was a happily married Family man, Six kids Worked hard every day to provide and climb the business ladder. We opened one business then a second. WE were a blended family, When I met my wife to be I was a hard working man with 3 kids no mom to help. Out of no where there was this lady that seemed to care. I really was not looking, my life was very busy and full. After a date or two and a couple over night stays there she was! Ready to take on the job! I didn’t know what to think It had only been two weeks and she was basically moved in. She seemed to be head over heels for me and loved the kids my life was slowly becoming simpler. I know what your thinking how stupid could I be, And your right. She had two kids of her own. Within a month she is moved in! And here we go…. after six months out of no where we were expecting. the real person shows up… Jealous… constantly accusing me of cheating slowly becoming controlling. One year goes by I find myself constantly defending what doesn’t exist. Its a weird slow process of total control before I knew what was happening everything was about her and her kids. My kids from another mother was slowly being treated poorly. After two years and constant verbal abuse I give in to marriage. By this time I was a amoeba. Then we had a second on the way. I opened my first business. Financially looking good. We purchased our first house. Four years in to it, I didn’t stand a chance I was totally in a domestic violence relationship. Every day was a struggle the more I tried to get away the more mentally tore me and my kids down. I have 100 s of horrible story’s to tell that only a few people would believe or understand,,, Like my son being forced to put his nose in dog shit because her sons new dog sit in the house. My oldest daughter didn’t tell me this till after we separated. When I went to work she had to stand at the end of the her bed and look at the floor because my daughter was told she was to gross and discussing to look at her. for sometimes 4 hours a day. My daughter had to be her slave. It got to the point every day I was worried about every move I made if it was going to upset her, Her favorite saying was there will be hell to pay. And she meant it, there always was. When things would get really bad I would take the kids and leave to family’s or hotels or several times I rented a apartment. She always managed to pull me back in. There is so so so much more,,, Till one day I caught her cheating with a old class mate of hers,,, Once again there is so much more to this. Then she filed for divorce kicked me out of the business once again so much more. I found a job and had to train out of town,,, she was supposed to purchase the business or sell it. She took some of the crew to mexico. An 18 year old boy some how fell off a baloney and was in a comma in Cancun. and she left him there he died. She was drinking with some of the crew in her grange Pulled a 9 mm out of the back of the car with around in the chamber telling everyone it was for me and it discharged wounding several kids. There is so much more I could write a book.I had no access to the books or banking records. I was suppose to get my information about the business from the accountant. But she never turned it in to the accountant. One year went by and the judge told her she had to sell the business. It was to late here come the tax warrants!!!!! She wasn’t paying sales tax. The Judge gave me the house!!! the real estate fell House sold for 30000.00 less than what I owed. By this time she was collecting child support. I had no money no credit NOTHING. My bank added it to my 10 year old truck payment taking it to 800.00 per month. Lost everything, She wasn’t letting me see the kids. She has a new boyfriend on of 20 Every new boyfriend the kids have to call him dad. because they cant see me. Once again there is so much more to this story.I applied for food stamps and cash assistance and finally got some help till she called placed false claims so now i lost that help’ The bank came and took my truck. I need help to pay taxes to rebuild my life. I’m a good man that deserves a second chance. I Do not even have a place to live anymore. Anything will help. please help.

Hoping on Saving Up for a home

Why not?

That is the questioned that I asked myself when I thought about using this site. Why not? 

In my opinion, it seems like the right thing to ask yourself when in a situation where there are no bad consequences.

Hello world or that one person probably reading this. I am a college student hoping to be able to get enough money to buy a house for my parents.

My parents mean everything to me and have taught me the importance of treating people with kindness and respect.

They were very young when they became my parents. Just teenagers, who, though unsure of their future, were more than happy when I came to existence. My mom said I was born in the most unconventional time… during Hurricane Floyd back in 1999. Nonetheless, they were so eager to become parents and had a great time raising me that they had three more.

Growing up I don’t recall my parents telling me their dreams or life goals very much. That confused me as a child. I had this idea that once I grew up my aspirations of being a rock star in outer space would’ve disappeared. (Don’t worry it did. Turns out the market is small) What I didn’t realize was that my parents did have goals in mind. You know the beautiful thing it was? To see their children become successful individuals. Most importantly to have a better life than theirs.

Its a bit sad to hear that from my parents. Growing up I knew we were on the poorer side but we are happy with the life we have.

The only time they mentioned something outside my siblings and I were that they would love to have a home of their own.  I would give anything for them to have their dream.

Thanks very much for your time kind Reader. I hope that you will help me achieve something monumental for my incredible family. If you can not, do not worry. Times are indeed very tough as many know. Nonetheless, I hope I was able to bring a smile on your face. (Please tell me
I did) Not the best writer in the world but I’m going to be a college graduate by 2021 I swear. Thanks a ton.
