Dreaming of College

Hello, My name is Alicia. I am 20 years old and I live in Alabama. I live with my grandparents who has raised me since birth. My mom was on drugs and had mental disorders and my father stayed in and out of jail. Thankfully, I was still able to have a loving childhood thanks to my grandparents. We never had much but they always put my needs first. When I was in high school I graduated within 3 years through a program called FastTrack. The reason I decided to graduate early wasn’t because I didn’t like school or because I was extremely smart. It was actually just to save my grandparents some money. One less year of buying me gas for my car, one less year giving me lunch money or buying extra food to send me a lunch, one less year of class fees, one less year of buying books and supplies, and one less year of buying school clothes. I’ve been graduated for almost 2 years in May. I’ve always wanted to go to college to achieve a degree in Education and become a school teacher. Unfortunately college has never been an option for me. My family just doesn’t have the money to help support me going to college. I’ve been working since I’ve graduated but in my small town there isn’t many jobs at all little alone good paying jobs.. and with that being said even with working my butt and with the money I have saved I still don’t have enough to cover one semester. I pay my car payment, phone bill, rent, utility bill, insurance, buy monthly groceries.. and every time I feel like I am getting close to being on top of things my car breaks down.. or some stupid bill comes around I forgot about. It’s always something. I can’t even take out a loan because I don’t have any credit nor do I have anyone who could co-sign with me. My grandparents have filed bankruptcy so they can’t sign for me. I just feel like I work so hard and I deserve a chance to further my education. Anyways, thank you for your time and if you decide to donate then it would help me out tremendously no matter the amount and I will be beyond grateful.

My utilities are going to get shut off

Please help me im in a really bad spot right now. My husband was supposed to be paying all the bills while ive been taking care of my dad and my own health issues until I can get back to working but he has not paid anything. Now im facing a little over $800 for utilities and I needed to pay half that last week to keep my utilities on but I couldnt come up with it. I am trying to sell my truck and a few other things but no one is buying anything. I also found out last week that he hasn’t paid our rent in 3 months and im trying to work on paying that as well.
Please if anyone can help me keep myself daughter and Dad (who is fighting lung cancer) in our home. I dont know what else to do or what is going to happen.
I can give you my account information to my utilities so it can be paid directly so you know where the money is going. I can even give you my landlords name and information to pay him directly as well.
I need at least $450 for my utilities to keep them on and at least a month and half rent which would be $1500 as my rent is $1000 a month to keep my house. Please if there are any angels out there at all please help me.
I have no one else I can go to. I couldn’t even pay my car insurance this month so I dont even have insurance on my car.
I don’t know what else to do but beg here in hopes of finding a kind and generous person that can help me keep my family from being without heat and electric and soon without a home. My landlord is doing his best to work with me because I was not aware my husband was not paying rent. Someone anyone please help me get out of this mess.
I always believed in karma and have always helped when I could here and there but now it seems karma is not on my side. Please prove me wrong. Please help me get back on my feet and keep my family safe and in our home. It says I need to add my paypal which is here:

Thank you to any angels out there.

My girlfriend’s 1996 4 Runner needs a facelift!

Hello,

My name is Maximilian Barragan and of course I am here to ask for help. I have never done anything like this before but we really need the help.

My girlfriend and I have been together for 6 months now and honestly I could not picture myself with anyone more perfect than her.  The reason I am asking for help is because the 4 Runner she has is the only thing her father left her when he died over 10 years ago and she wants to keep it running for as long as she can if not forever. Currently she is using it to drive to her full time job and work part time as a Postmates Driver.

She has been having problems with the radiator, broken gears on her sunroof, balding tires, alignment needs to be adjusted, suspension is going bad, brakes are wearing down, dents, inside interior needs to be replaced and her dashboard needs to be upgraded. She also has a towel wedged under the hood to help stabilize it so it doesn’t rattle when driving. It’s going to take quite a bit of money to fix this thing up so she can drive around safely so we don’t know what to even ask for, but whatever you can help us out with we are entirely grateful.

This vehicle has such sentimental value to her and I really would love to see this dream be kept alive. I currently am volunteering for the next two months here at the Los Angeles Dream Center helping those who struggle with addiction in any form to try and get their life back together like I did mine.

If there is anyone that can help to keep this vehicle running, I thank you dearly in advance and God bless you.

It could always be worse

Let me start, by letting you know. If you’re reading this and considering assisting me or anyone else from this website. Please understand anything you are kind enough to share is beyond gratefully appreciated. Please only donate what your easily able to afford and never stretch yourself beyond your means. Charity is a wonderful thing but people can become addicted to even the act of giving, and as tough as addiction is you don’t want to be the next one on here asking for help. All that aside thank you for your time today and i hope your comfortable because my story is long but I’ll try to keep it shorter. I’m a Virgo, I never met my mother’s father or my own father. I do have a father in life but technically he’s my step father. He’s been there for me since age 2 so he’s my father either way. Age 14 I started working with my father @ the business he started. He was owner of his own auto shop. I’m currently 28, and have been with the love of my life since high school. 10years never broken up until recently. Fast forward age 21. My older half brother who also worked at the shop was fired, there’s alot more to that but this is enough knowledge to this point. When he left I decided I don’t want to put my future in the same possible outcome for various reasons. I decided to look for new work. I told this to my pops(dad) and he told me with conviction that he needed me and if I were to leave him and throw away the legacy that I would one day be in control of if he & I worked together. I told him I wouldn’t leave but I needed a raise and to be taken more seriously. He agreed and age 22 in 2012 my income was $9.00/hr. Over the next years my income would slowly rise as the business grew with my father and I and everyone’s dedication. September 2018 one day at work he was being extremely unprofessional so I told him to go home for the day. He got borderline over the top yelling and screaming so I told him if he doesn’t leave I was. As I’m walking away he says you leave while we’re busy and I need you, you’re fired. I got a different job then day after. 3 months go by he wants me to come back because he sold the business and wants me to work for the company who took over with a raise from him and the new company on takeover. All lies unfortunately. I got salary position lost all my everything including ever owning the business that he begged me to stay then just ripped away. My entire life was thrown upside down. My family my job my home life have all gone to the waste. I currently am employed but can’t seem to get ahead ever. I have cut back everything in my life from no TV and internet to cooking at home more to finding alternative things to occupy my free time that don’t cost money. Rent phone electricity food car, insurance just don’t allow me any extra I can save. I hate scraping by paycheck to paycheck every time it really is the absolute worst. I love my fiance ex fiance(we’re working on things) I just really want to start our family and get married and do everything she deserves to do but with both of us working then savings never add up faster than either hospital Bill’s, student loans, accidents and everything else that costs so much money. If I was lucky enough to have someone help me stash enough money aside so we could get married the way every girl deserves and dreams since their little. Have some cushion for when babies start happening. Being able to get debt free and in the positive would ease the daily stress of knowing you can’t and your not.going to make it and you’ll lose everything. If I was gifted that I honestly feel i could venture out of a horrible business I’m stuck into without fearing I’ll lose more even faster if i choose wrong. I also have dentures unfortunately and because I couldn’t afford the real set when my teeth got pulled I’ve been using the temporary one they issue for the interim of healing and recieving the actual set. They are worn down so far I have to get new ones asap and I have no savings and currently working on my credit score it’s a 602, :( but I’m doing a credit building loan but being able to go actually purchase things and pay them off to get actual credit would help so much. I want to be a homeowner. My life was always happy and exciting and now it never gets better. It really never ends but I’m hopeful those who worked just as hard as I did but were.successful would maybe understand where I’m coming from. I’m trying real hard to keep picking up the bootstraps but I just need a glimpse of chance and luck please. Sorry this is kinda all over the place thank you for your time sorry I don’t know why I’m even doing this…. -kyle

Help with Credit Card Debt

Before I tell you about my situation I would like to thank you in advance for taking 5 minutes to read this entire post. I would also like to encourage you to read this post if you have a habit of living on credit cards, or the mindset of floating your debts on 0% APR cards to ‘buy’ yourself more time. It usually never works out in the end. Bankruptcy is a fall back plan right? Well, it might not be that simple.

If your are in a position to speak with me after reading this, I will make myself available using any mode of communication (I prefer a phone call, text, or video chat before a face-to-face, if requested). I respect your time as a volunteer and would greatly appreciate that you respect mine as well. As the title stated, I would like to speak to you if you can volunteer a small amount of your time to consult with me about my options.

Quick introduction:
I am a 35 year old Husband and Father of two. I love my Family and love people, but also somewhat of an intimidating/optimistic type of guy. I’ve held some great positions in the workforce with titles that range from IT manager, operations coordinator, executive recruiter, logistics manager, and many jobs as a teenager including: remodeling and construction, maintenance, janitorial, and various customer service positions. I started working from home in 2015 building websites and graphic design work for various clients in various sectors.

Unexpected setback:
On July 4th, 2018, I had an unexpected turn of events that altered the course of my immediate future. I had a head injury from a body surfing accident that put me at Sierra Vista ER. I will spare you all the details for now but essentially, I had sustained a concussion, a sprained and strained neck, dislocated my collarbone, fractured my shoulder and 9th rib, and a subluxation in my spine. Needless to say, the weeks and months that followed were difficult for me. I could no longer focus at my computer, I had a new sensitivity to light, migraines, and pain in my neck and collar bone, shoulder, and spine.

Debt:
I bought a very modest older home for 150k with a pool in 2016 in Bakersfield, CA. As with most older homes the bathroom and kitchen needed to be updated along with several other mid-sized and smaller projects. I started heavily using my credit cards to make purchases for materials, maintenance, appliances, business expenses, and not to mention other living expenses like food, clothing, and entertainment. To date, I have never missed a payment and have a 729 FICO, but my debt is in the excess of 50k and I’m only making minimum payments between 4 credit cards. My work has dramatically slowed down due to my injuries and I regularly see a neurologist, chiropractor and a therapist to aid me at this time. I do have insurance and use a prepaid benefits card for co-pays but the debt is still there and won’t go away.

Where I am financially today:
I have reduced my credit card spending to almost 100% and make enough money to sustain my living expenses and pay my bills. I can’t afford to pay down my credit cards and I basically have a debt looming over me that I can not pay down. I have 132k left on my mortgage and I feel like I’m stuck in a rut. I have explored and currently practicing several of Dave Ramsey’s solutions but also looked into many unsuitable debt consolidation programs. I am still getting offers for personal loans and offers to refinance my home but they don’t seem like good solutions for me at this time.

Conclusion:
If you know of a way to eradicate this debt, I would really appreciate your help. More income has always been my solution and I’m working on that now within the scope of my ability to do so. If you read this and are in a position to help, my family would greatly appreciate it.

Sincerely,
Daniel

I don’t make enough to provide a home for my two beautiful children.

I am a working mother of a two year old and a 3 month old. My husband and I are legally separated due to domestic violence. I do not make enough to provide a home for our children. I have bad credit and I can only work part time because I don’t want to be separated from my 3 month old too long. Family helps watch her, but it is mainly my husbands family and they do not believe in respecting the beliefs of a child’s mother. I need to get them somewhere safe and secure with me so that I can raise them the way I always wanted to raise my kids.

I left everything behind thanks to the military.

Hello and thank you for taking the time to read this.

Now I’m a straight kind of girl, I married young at 21 and I just hit 22, our 1 year anniversary of being married is coming up on the 30th. My loving partner is in the military, he joined after I made a joke about it. We lived in Texas which is my home, and I was making the most out of it. I had a fantastic job and I was paying for everything along with having a well kept savings.

Well low and behold he finishes up with tech school as they call it and we get shipped out to the middle of no where in Idaho. It was hard enough for me to leave my job and home to move but I thought “Well it can’t be that hard”. I was so damn wrong, We’ve been here for 6 months and all I have is a low end job with 15 hours a week making nothing. I’ve already cut things off I don’t need and my savings are gone. I had a depression wave after the 3 month of being here and still not able to find anything in my field. Let alone the only decent jobs I can truly have are an hour away and because of that no one will bother with me.

I can not ask my spouse for help as he barely makes anything, trust me I did our taxes this year as my field of work is accounting and holy guacamole I wish he was more honest in telling me what he made. I have worked ever since I was in high school, I came from a middle class like family and I knew if I wanted something I needed to bust my butt for it. My family has helped me in ways I can take pride in. But its tough for them already with my father being in and out of the hospital. Before we moved I helped my mother pay for the hospital bills as the VA can’t provide for everything.

I also can not tell you how many jobs I apply to a day, I even applied at McDonald’s for a team member and I was told I was “too qualified” and it amazed me. I’m not to bad off with scraping the barrel but with what I’m at now I’ve hit the bottom. I truly need only $500-$1000 to get back into shape and to push through.

I always tell myself things can only get better, but it seems that the world is testing me. Anything truly helps and one day I want to be well off to pay it forward. My ultimate goal I’ve been working on is to open my own bakery, have a business of my own and cater to the ones in need as well as make delicious pastries, ones that people can share and cherish knowing that it can only get better from here.

http://paypal.me/sunysin

Thank you and may I some day be able to pay it forward.

P.S Sorry if its a jumble mess I’ve been so down lately and I find it nice to just put my thoughts out there and it’s hard to ask for help.

A Home for My Mom and Me

I put this under Wishes, because my wish is to be able to acquire a home for my mom and I to live in together:

Currently I am working full-time, but I’ve got so much debt that I simply cannot get out from under it. Now, I am aware that I am the one responsible for my own debts, but just like happens to a lot of people, I didn’t realize how bad it was until after the fact. I’ve tried various things to alleviate my financial strain, but this hole I am in just keeps getting deeper. I finally had to face the fact that I need help getting out of it.

I am a 61-year-old woman living with my daughter’s family in central Oregon. What I really want, which I am aware may not be perceived as what I need, is a place of my own again, so that I can bring my mom out here to live with me while we can still enjoy some quality time together. She is 85 years old and currently living in a senior’s apartment in Hot Springs, Arkansas.

My mom is truly the nicest person you could ever meet. She lives alone and doesn’t drive or own a car, so she has to depend on others for groceries and any other shopping. Recently, she has been falling for phone scams, which is not like her, so it’s just one of my worries. Healthwise, my mom is doing fairly well, but let’s face it, at 85 years old there are some issues. Last year she had a procedure done that involved the placement of several stints in her arteries, so now I worry that I won’t get to see her again before “that time” comes. I don’t have the means to visit her and there is no room for her here in my daughter’s house.

To lay it all out, I have about $30,000 in debts. If I could get that paid off, I could start saving for a down payment on a place for me and my mom. Without that debt I could handle a house payment and have a better quality of life with my mom. I don’t need, or want, a large place…just a modest home where I can take care of my mom and see that she has what she needs. Just someplace where I could grow some pretty flowers for my mom to enjoy, and a butterfly garden, for sure, because my mom loves butterflies. I’m sure I could do that, with a little help.

Anything significant that would help me towards reaching my goal of being together with my mom would be appreciated beyond words.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and thank you very much for your consideration!

Not Paid Enough, Too Many Bills This Month

I am going to cut to the chase. I work a very intensive job (residential mental health) and make peanuts even though I have a Masters. While the work is rewarding and building my experience, it hasn’t helped that I have had back to back major expenses (got a recent root canal and crown) and I barely have anything left from my paychecks. With student loan debt sucking me dry. I am running on empty. This month I have to pay to keep up my professional license (LPC) which isn’t cheap either and recently had to cancel some of my own therapy appointments because I just can’t afford it until next month. If I was able to get whatever people were willing to give, it would greatly help me financially. Most of my paycheck seems to go towards bills since I am still paying off my most recent dental “adventures” which couldn’t be avoided since the nerve in my tooth died and I had to get a root canal or risk my health. Sadly because of that things have been set back ever since. I really wish things were different and I could work a job that paid me fairly for the work I do, but I guess this is what is the reality of having my license and my degree.

There really is no reason that anyone has to give to me, but supporting me now means you would support me for the long run. I work in a job with high turnover. I am a case manager for a residential mental health facility. My job is to help those struggling with acute mental illness to be able to rehabilitate enough to manage symptoms, to avoid hospitalization, and eventually re-enter the community through the Moving On Program (Williams Consent Decree). A little extra money in my pocket to be able to pay bills to pay for license renewal, and help my general well being to pay off my bill, would be amazing. I would be thankful for any little bit people are willing to give. I just am really stressing over paying for things this month and am trying to last till April 11th. It’s embarrassing enough to have to be asking for money in the first place. To those that read this and don’t give, thank you for reading. To those that read this and give. Thank you. I will continue to pay it forward in any way I can. For every donation, I will be donating to someone on this site once I am in a better place financially.

Two-Teacher Family Living Month by Month

I’m honestly very skeptical that this will work and very embarrassed.  I’ll be 50 this year and I never dreamed I would be in the situation I am now.  I also know that I am much better off than so many other people out there so I definitely don’t feel as deserving but we are in such deep debt that it suffocates my thoughts especially this year as we try to send our daughter to college but we simply can’t afford it. On paper, my husband and I make too much money so my daughter won’t qualify for any financial aid.  I am in constant shock and disbelief that a two teacher household can’t send their kid to college.

My husband and I are both teachers and have both taught for 22 years in the San Diego Unified School District.  I currently teach kindergarten and my husband is a PE teacher.  I also tutor kids regularly and my husband has been collecting and charging Bird Scooters daily.  We have a daughter who is a senior and son who is a sophomore.  We have not always been smart with our money choices including buying a house in 2004 with a subprime loan and with a little help from a small inheritance. Then like many other Americans, we ended up losing our home in 2008 and also separated for almost two years due to the stress of both working two jobs trying to keep the house.  We are one of the lucky couples who have worked it out and have resigned to the fact that we will be lifelong renters.

So fast forward to today.  We are on the 10 year Loan Forgiveness Plan to pay off my husband’s $100,000 school loan with 6 years left to go.  He had defaulted a few times during the time when we owned a house when the loan amount grew substantially.  I went back to school to earn my masters and owe $30,000 for the school loan.  We are almost two years behind on our taxes owning over $6,000, and we have about $15,000 in credit card debt.  We also have two monthly car payments of about $600 total.  However, we do pay all our bills on time, including our taxes being that we are on a payment plan, and we budget our money for food, but we literally live month to month and almost always just make it to the end of the month.  We also do not have any money in savings.  When something unexpected comes up which happens all the time, like a car needing work because it won’t smog, we cut down on food.

Again, I know that we are better off than so many other people in the world and I don’t forget that, but if there is anybody out there that can help us get out of this hole, so we can help in any way we can to help pay for our daughter’s schooling and eventually our son’s and start building up a savings for emergencies,  we would be forever and unbelievably grateful.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Manipulated and drained of everything

 

Please help if you are able to, for the last two years I have been manipulated and lied to by a man I thought I was going to marry. He forced me to have 2 abortions in one year, totaled his car and almost destroyed my car, got me fired from my only job, and put me in thousands of dollars of credit card debt. I have no family, I lost both my brothers and my father to drugs, and my mother ran off with her boyfriend and won’t even speak to me. After my abuser finally drained me of everything, he up and left the state and now is nowhere to be found. I am drowning in debt and trying to hold it all together, I’m only 21 years old and I don’t want to give up on life, I just want to be as debt free as possible so I can live my life and try to create a future for myself, because I know that if I don’t take care of me, no one ever will. Thank you for reading.

The money will be used to pay off my personal and shared credit cards with my ex because he of course stuck me with every bill he didn’t feel like paying. I also now require many things to be repaired on my car, and I will be responsible for paying that alone as well. Right now I need the brakes done very badly but they cost about $600 and I cannot afford it but I need a car in order to work. My TD bank account was closed because the negative balance was too high and I am now in debt to them as well. My car payments are about 2 months late, so I will use the money for that as well so I don’t lose my car.

The total amount I need to cover the bulk of my debt is $2,500.00- broken down as follows 

Capital one card 1- $400

Capital one card 2- $400

Capital one card 3- $300

Closed bank account due to negative balance by TD bank- $350

Car repairs- $600

Over due car payments- $450

I’m struggling with enjoying life

To start off, I was born with a stupid birth defect where my lip was split open at birth ( Called cleft lip and cleft palate) ( I’m honestly not making this up just to add more pity , this has been apart of my life since birth and causes me to feel depressed) and needed emergency surgery to repair my mouth. And in turn left facial defects that affect mentally so much to the point that I cover my face with my hair so people don’t cant see my face. It’s so bad now that I have a panic attack every time wind blows my hair up. I know that what I’m asking for may very selfish and crude , but I really feel like my life is terrible in some sense. I live with only one parent (my mom) working in a terrible paying job, so many things kids in normal families have that take for I granted I don’t experience. I realize life shouldn’t be wasted focusing on materialistic items, but society has caused me to glance over that and gain negative thoughts over what I have and what others have. The more I type this the more guilt I feel because I know this isn’t right to be begging for money over a site like this where there are more unfortunate people than me that need money more than I do, but everyday after coming from school I feel a pit of emotions that consist of humiliation, embarrassment, and sadness as I stare into my bathroom mirror thinking about how poor I am and that I don’t matter. I just want to be like the rest of the kids who dont go to school wearing the same shirt,jeans, and shoes you did the day before and all the other days behind that one. I know this is a lot to ask for a stupid reason, but it’s something that means so much to me and affects me on a daily basis, and I can’t do nothing about until I.can get a job,but all I ask is for a dollar. Just a dollar (or if your generous more than a dollar) to be able to make someone feel better on this terrible planet

14 y.o. Institutional Eyes

Hi, my name is AJ. I am 30 years old. I have a big heart. Although I get looked at with judgement; I get treated differently because of my tattoos;the way I walk ;the way I talk. At age 14, i got caught shop lifting: petty theft. I was put on probation and locked up for 6 months. For petty theft. That was the start of the rest of my life. I went on to do 2.5 years before I turned 18, no violent charges, and now at age 30, i have spent 1 out of every 3 days incarcerated since age 14. I am not a bad guy, I do have problems with addiction, but I have never harmed anyone. Both my mother and father were addicts who spent my childhood less involved with raising me and more involved in getting drunk and high and not hiding this from their child. I just wish I could’ve Been given a fair chance. I am highly intelligent and have a strong entrepreneurial mindset. I have many different business plans that i wish to set into motion, with my biggest love at the top of the list: real estate. I want to begin a career in flipping houses only to build capital to buy houses with the intent of renting them out. I ultimately want to own a wide assortment of rental properties. That is my end game. That is how i wish to build my wealth. Not too many people in my shoes can tell you the meaning of the word wealth, let alone believe it to be possible to acquire for someone in my shoes. I know that anything is possible. I have applied myself to learn everything i can about what interests me and i won’t stop until i achieve it! I have been offset though, i have lost 7.5 years of my life, this last bid ending Jan 9th of this year. I am not looking for a handout, i have had my life ripped from me, i have not been perfect but i have not done anything to lose my life, we have a messed up judicial system and there are good people all over suffering because of it. Kids, losing years of their life that they will never get back. I missed out on high school. All the time people in my hometown ask me do i know him, or her, or them? And I’m always saying ‘no, I missed out on high school so I didn’t get to meet all those starter friends, the foundation of adult life, and all the experiences that help build a healthy social life. I have extreme social anxiety. I doubt i will ever be normal to most peoples standards. But, I am normal to my standards. I make AJ happy. And that’s all i can shoot for. I can’t live my life to make other people happy. Although i would love to have the chance to help out juveniles in trouble like i was. I would like to ask for help building some capital to invest into the real estate market so that eventually once enough income is generated i can go out and start helping our kids. Reach out to them so that they don’t have to lose their life like i did. Thank you.

Injured and in Debt

Hello,

My name is Matthew, I am a recent college graduate and performer at Disneyland. A little over a year ago I was homeless and living out of my car in Los Angeles, and I was very fortunate to land a job auditioning at Disneyland and started to make enough money to rent a room in a house.

I graduated from college with a Philosophy degree, and moved to Los Angeles to pursue my passion as an actor. I worked many different restaurant jobs and worked really hard and took a lot of classes, but I quickly ran out of savings, and without support from my family, I ended up living out of my car.

I am very grateful for the blessings that have happened since then in my life. I started my job at Disney, started attending church regularly, and have been planning to take coding classes so that I can one day have a more stable, higher paying job to support myself.

Unfortunately, very recently, I injured my ankle rehearsing for a film project and I have had difficulty doing my job. I have been asked by a doctor to go through a physical therapy program to rehabilitate my ankle, but I cannot afford it. Because this injury occurred outside of work I am not able to receive compensation or benefits from my employer. My other option if physical therapy is unsuccessful would be surgery. On top of that, I have $30,000 in Student Loan Debt, $15,000 in Credit Card debt that I racked up while surviving in LA. And right now, my injury is keeping me from working consistently and I am in danger of being released from my job if I continue to be unable to perform.

I haven’t been able to start the coding classes I want to take because I cannot afford them, and I don’t want to use credit and put myself in more debt. I hate asking for money because I truly want to get out of the situation I’m in and find a way out on my own, but I am at the point where I feel like I need to swallow my pride and see if there’s anyone out there who would be willing to help.

Here is what I am asking for:

$30,000 for College Student Loans

$15,000 for Debt

$10,000 for Physical Therapy

$15,000 for an accredited Coding bootcamp that will quickly give me the skills I need to be self sufficient.

Total: $70,000

I know that this may seem like a lot, and at this point, anything helps. I just need to get out of debt and start making better choices with money, and teaching myself how to invest and save what I have so that I can be prepared when something like this happens again.

If you have it in your heart to give anything, I would really appreciate it.

Car broke down and need help before college

Hi, my name is Rhett. I feel bad to bed doing this, but I’m rather desperate for some financial help. I was lucky enough to be able to buy a car when I first got my license two years ago with my own hard earned money. However about a month or so, the clutch went out in my car and I had to junk it, due to me not having money to be able to cover the repairs. I’m a high school senior and I participated in sports and after school activities, so it is very hard for me to work a job during the school year, resulting in me struggling for money. Yesterday, I was fortunate enough that my parents decided to buy me a new car as an early graduation present, as they knew I wouldn’t have enough money saved up to buy another car by the time I move off to college. However, they’re putting the responsibility on me to get the vehicle registered, get the initial insurance, buy new tires, and new brakes (and I already pay for my own had) before they’ll let me drive it. Don’t get me wrong, I’m very grateful for my parents buying me a new car, but it is gonna take me a lot of saving up in order to be able to cover those necessary funds and on top of that be able to have money saved before going off to college. Currently I’m only working on Saturday’s and I’m trying to find a job that I can work during the week to be able to establish an income before summer hits and I have to leave. I’m not asking for a specific amount of money because obviously the expenses of what I need in order to be able to drive my car are pricey. But at the same time, I’m just not gonna be able to do it on my own and any amount would greatly help. Anyone that is kind enough to donate, I really do appreciate you and I thank you for understanding my situation. God bless.

Too Many Curveballs

My dad killed himself a few years ago and ever since then it has been hard on my family. My mom has been trying her best to take care of my younger siblings, but sometimes she just can’t handle it.

My husband and I decided to move closer to home to help her out and for my husband to finish school. So he was working part time and going to school for a little while. I struggled to find work for two months, but eventually did. Now I work full-time. However, during our move and me not working and taking care of the kids we racked up some credit card bills.

A few months after moving here my car was totaled. It was parked on the street in front of my house and one night a drunk driver plowed right into it (he was on the wrong side of the road). The police, fire fighters, and EMT all told me he was drunk at the scene (and you could clearly smell alcohol on him and just tell by his demeanor). However, when the police report came back they said he had just fallen asleep at the wheel. So I was furious, and lawyers told me I probably wouldn’t recoup anything more than what insurance would pay. He was driving a company car and it did have insurance, but they did not want to give us the company name or anything. So I ended up claiming the loss on my own insurance, so I did receive money from it, but it took almost 5 months. My husband and I have been sharing a car ever since.

The money that I got from my car settlement should have gone towards buying me a new vehicle, but instead it went towards helping my mom and trying to keep us caught up on rent, food, and other necessities.

Not long after the car incident, my sister tried to kill herself by overdosing. I came home and rushed her to the ER where they kept her overnight and insisted she be sent to  a mental hospital since she was a minor. They said they HAD to transport her in an ambulance to the other hospital. (At the time she did not have health insurance) So on top of an ER bill, mental hospital bill, we also have an ambulance bill (which alone is over $5000).

Life keeps throwing me curveballs and I try to take them one day at a time, but I support my family and it is getting hard. I feel like I am drowning in debt, my credit has been ruined and I am trying to take the steps to rebuild it. My husband feels he cannot finish school with how things are going for us right now and I don’t want him to give up. I need a car to help ease the burden of being a one car family. So that I can get a second job and it not interfere with my husband’s, mom’s, or the kids’ schedules.

I am asking for donations to help me get enough money to buy a decent car, or put a down payment on one if I get approved for a loan and to pay some of my sister’s medical bills. I honestly never thought I would be put in this situation, but I am here asking for help. Anything would be greatly appreciated. My goal is to get at least $3000 for a car and $5000 to help with the medical bills. You can send money to the PayPal link below. Thank you so much in advance for donating.

Behind on Bills, owe friends money too

Early last year. I lost my grandmother, panicked, and immediately moved into an apartment with two friends. At the time I could afford just fine, 400$ for rent, 50$ for power, 25$ for internet, and 150$ for car insurance. That left me with a nice 250$ to use for my savings, food, gas, and entertainment. I’d saved up a little bit, but honestly not nearly as much as I should have been as I just started trying to save and live on my own.

In November my employer decided not to pursue a contract renewal and as a result, I lost my primary source of income. Thankfully I had recently obtained a second job with DoorDash and savings I wasn’t completely ruined.

However, DoorDash doesn’t pay nearly enough for me to keep up with these bills, and after my first medical expense (Bad Ear infection) I ended up with nothing left. I can sort of make it through every month but hardly, and when something unexpected happens, everything goes downhill. Car repair bills were unexpected, A medical emergency was unexpected. I went from barely treading water to hardly keeping my head above it in two months.

I’m now spending every day working-60+ Hours a week just to try and survive. I’m trying to find another job, but working as many hours as I am I don’t even really have enough time to really seek them. I apply when I can, but working 12 hour days or so leaves me utterly drained and exhausted.

I’m trying my best, every second of every day to make it through and just reach the end of my lease. When my lease is up, I have a new place to go, a new job set up, and new financial balance ready for me. But, I have to finish my lease out, pay off my friends and just be finished with this stressful time of my life.

I’m doing everything I can, I’ve sold my Xbox, sold my Playstation, sold my computer. I have nothing but my phone that I need for work and a Kindle I use for reading. If I had anything to sell, credit good enough to take out a loan, or anything else I’d do it before begging online.

I feel utterly awful needing to ask strangers for money. I’ve been doing everything I can, but it’s just not getting me anywhere.

1,000$ would put me ahead. With that amount I’d be able to pay off the people I owe money too, Catch up on my bills so I’m not playing catch-up every month, and be able to run out the rest of my lease without ending up getting evicted or worrying where my next tank of gas or meal will come from

(Attached bill is my monthly Rent/Power/Insurance bill. Though it’s split 2 ways)

Will You Help Me Smile Again?

Thank you for taking time to read my story. I am a 36 year old woman but I feel like I’m 90 at times. I’ve battled multiple serious illnesses since 2012, underwent several surgeries, and spent months in the hospital. Unfortunately, some of the strong medications I received long-term damaged my teeth terribly. I stayed so sick from mid-2015 until the end of 2017 that I dropped down to 110 lbs. (I’m 5’7″). I also went through a time of constant vomiting (14 months), which contributed greatly to the extreme tooth damage. I have a broken front tooth; I cant smile anymore. I have 4 molars that are either broken in half, cracked, or have huge cavities. The jagged edges cut my tongue constantly and I’ve never had sensitive teeth but Oh Man! I do now…ouch!

I am desperately seeking donations to pay for dental surgery that will both remove my badly damaged teeth that hurt constantly, and replace them with permanent implants. The thought of dentures at my age literally brings tears…I’m too young and will hold out as long as I can if I have to go that route. I’ve always taken care of my teeth but the damage seems to have eaten away from the gums down and started inside the teeth. Unfortunately, it took a major toll in a short years time.

I feel as though I’m rambling, but I’m new to all of this online fundraising and cant believe I’m actually posting. I’m the one that usually reads and donates but I am desperately seeking any kind of help to fix my teeth. Please help me get my smile back.

I am asking for $12,000 to pay for implants to replace my missing teeth. I miss being able to smile when my daughter wants a selfie with me. I want to laugh when I hear a joke without covering my mouth. I want people to quit staring at my mouth when we talk. I want to be able to actually eat food instead of depending on juice, cereal, and other soft foods. I just want to be the confident woman I once was.

If you’re still here, thank you again for reading my story. For those that feel led to donate: THANK YOU!

I could really use some help with catching up on bills.

Hi there, so I never thought I would be here asking for help but here I am. I recently lost my job, naturally I was already behind on bills. Now add recently unemployed and you can imagine Im just getting deeper and deeper into the whole. I checked my mail today and there was a letter from my mortgage company telling me that they are getting ready to start the foreclosure process, the only way I can stop it is if I can get $1,700  to cover what I’m behind. On top of that right before I lost my job I took out three small  personal loans to help me get caught up, only problem is I cant afford those now because I don’t have that income coming in. I didn’t want to get the loans to begin with because they are very very very high interest loans. But those were the only ones I could get because my credit score is so low. Those loans are around $6,000 all together. Not to mention I have my regular utilities and car insurance (which the car insurance just got dropped due to not having the funds to pay it)…. it’s like I’m being drug down a pit that is spiraling out of control, I literally feel like I’m drowning. It’s at a point where even if I got a job offer tomorrow I still wouldn’t be able to catch up. I NEED HELP, I am a hard worker and I’m trying everything to get back stable. But until then I don’t know what else to do… Help??  I added a picture of me and my husband, I don’t have any pictures of my bills uploaded to my computer or else I would for proof if that’s what you need.

Help The Braumandl’s reunite

Hi There!

My name is Jessica Lopez, I am a high spirited 27 years old, October 2017  I became a mom for the first time and I have a husband that adores me and is the best dad ever.

I have lived in Chula Vista California almost my entire life. On the other hand, my husband was born and raised in the beautiful city of Munich Germany. We met back in 2014 he visited the USA for the first time and our lives crossed paths at a sushi restaurant. He literally only knew 5 English words/phrases (Hi!, How are you?, My name is? Can I order a beer (haha) and where is the bathroom? Since he visited the USA with his best friend and he was fluent in English my husband manage to ask his best friend to help ask for my number. Of course, I gave him my number, we went on a few dates which all consisted of playing charades to be able to understand each other. After 3 weeks in the States, he had to go back home. As soon as he got home (Munich) he purchased English books and in a matter of 3 months, he was more than half fluent in English. We Skype for about 4 months and he said he had fallen in love with me and he would love to come back to the states to visit me again and hope to begin a relationship. I was so against long distance relationships but I said Yes. He would visit me at least every 3-4 months and stay for about 3-4 weeks. I ended up going to visit him in Germany 2 times, after almost 2 years of doing distance relationship he asked me to marry him. We had a beautiful wedding in San Diego, his family flew in and his best friends from Germany. Since he was not a resident nor US citizen I had to file a fiancé visa for him and fallow the process to obtain his green card. It took about 6 months for USCIS to accept his case and grant him 2 years green card and work permit. Does 6 months I was basically the one who cover most of the bills, he had saved a good amount of money but not enough to keep some on the side. After 6 months into our marriage, we got pregnant. Honestly, it was not in our plans but things happen for a reason and we couldn’t be happier with our baby girl. Due to all the immigration fees and then unexpected pregnancy, we both had to use our credit cards to cover bills and we are now in debt. On top of that last October I had my gallbladder removed and now I have a bill of $5000+ to pay. Unfortunately last October also his green card expired, we had to reapply and his new case was declined. We have opted to move to Germany, he has applied for several jobs but until now there is no answer. He will be moving in April to Munich to see if he can get a job and try to send money so we can cover the debts that we have, is over $7000 in credit cards plus $5000 in medical bills. We hope with your help we can soon reunite and finally start a new begging and provide a better future for our daughter. Thank you for reading mine and my family story.

LegUp Proposal

Family photo 20181e.jpg

I wish to resolve my financial situation responsibly.

 Currently,  48% of my income is allocated to paying  back HiGH-interest loans…keeping me in a borrowing lock, instead of saving.

Spiraling Debt From 2011 – 2017, post divorce, my expenses were higher than my income and I had lost the $30,000 I had saved during the abrupt sale of our house.

For six years, I used credit cards to ally unplanned financial needs, which arrived from child health issues, new tires, auto repair, oral surgery, appliances and the lump sum $4500 needed when I moved for 1st month, last month and security deposit.

I fought back!  I found a way to increase my income 4-fold.

I left a low-paying Development Director position for a wonderful school and my mother helped me purchase a small massage practice in 2015. In addition to having over a decade of experience in running nonprofits, I had over a decade of experience as a massage therapist and business owner. Massage therapy pays me four times the money for working 2/3 the hours. I transformed the massage practice and it has since doubled in the past three years. It is increasing exponentially.

Unfortunately, because of high interest rates, my increased income keeps me afloat, but cannot get me ahead. I feel trapped. Instead of pouring my heart into surviving the day-to-day, it makes so much more sense to pay off/refinance, so I can FREE uP my highly developed skills in fundraising, systems management, volunteer coordination, etc… and apply my energy and creativity to helping with our increasing humanitarian needs and allocate more time to raising my teenage daughter.

How Can I Turn this Around?

With your loan in refinancing, I figured I could use 20% of my income to pay off debts, freeing up 25% to allocate for savings and releasing us from the borrowing lock.

Please Consider a Gift and/or A Low-Interest Loan:

5-Year   $75K Loan

  • At 4.5% earning you $8,900  (my payments would be $1400/month)  
  • Currently paying $2100/month, indefinitely, for high-interest loans…your loan saves me $700/month and gives end in site!!
  •  I would put $500/month into savings – putting and END to the borrowing and…
  • allocate $200/month to charities.

Thank you, for considering giving us a leg up!

Notes:

  • In case something happens to me physically that would prevent me from doing my profession, I will be acquiring insurance. I also have life insurance.
  • Legal loan contracts would be signed and notarized. All payments would be Auto-Pay from my bank account to your bank account.
  • I have financials & references at your request.

Wedding help

I moved from New York to Denver on a whim for a job. I only knew one person in the whole state, and we hadn’t spoken in years. I reignited our friendship, and a few weeks after moving here there was a birthday party planned for her. I was unable to go due to just starting a new job and not having enough money to socialize yet. Her (my friend) then boyfriend (now husband) got into a car accident and the party was postponed. This time I was able to go. At her birthday party, I met a woman named Heather. She spent all night making fun of me, while I made her laugh. I belted every word to Shania Twain’s “Man I Feel Like A Woman” at the bar while shooting pool (terribly). We all spent the night at Heather’s condo, after going out. The next morning I woke up on the couch cuddling with Heather’s two dogs. We walked across the street to the coffee shop and we spent over three hours playing chess and getting to know each other. On my drive home, I called my best friend and declared “I found the one!” From that day forward we have been in love, and we have spent every single day together, except when one of us traveled. It took two weeks of being together every day before we had our first kiss, and once again I knew I had found the one I was going to spend the rest of my life with.

My future wife and I picked the perfect wedding venue, the perfect date, everything was perfect. It was even more than doable price wise when we picked it. Since then my soon to be mother in law kicked us out of the condo we were renting from her (violated her own lease) so she could sell it. We have 5 beautiful pets (three dogs and two cats) and we were almost out on the streets. We could not find anything to rent with the animals, and we could not stand the heartbreak of giving our babies up. We bought a house together out of necessity, and are having trouble paying for the rest of our wedding. Family, the one group we thought we could rely on, has put us in this situation. The invitations have already gone out, hotels have been booked, and we have spent more than half for the wedding. Please help me give my future wife the incredible amazing day that she deserves. Please help us.

We were living in the Denver Metro Area and could not afford a house there. We moved to Colorado Springs. We both had to leave our good paying jobs because of the commute. We both found stable employment, but find ourselves making much less than we were before. Also two weeks before we were told we would be thrown out of the condo, Heather’s sister, Bonnie, had a few major issues with her vehicle. This is the only way she has to get to and from work, and there were major safety issues. She could not afford to fix the vehicle, and could not afford to buy a new one. After a very quick discussion, Heater and I decided to pay $5000 to repair Bonnie’s car instead of buying her a new one. That $5000 was meant for our wedding. The rest of the wedding money we had saved (and more) had to go towards our down payment on our house, leaving us struggling.

Even though we are in this situation and are desperate to try and figure this out, we would make all the same decisions again. Protecting our animals, and protecting our family are and will always be more important. If you can help our dream come true that would be incredible. Thank you for consideration!

I hate to ask ask, but if you could please help me!

Good afternoon,

My name is Tracey Robertson.

So that you know a little bit about me, I am a single mom with two kids in college and a self employed hairstylist with no insurance.  Of course, I am a hard worker but when I got sick in January, with a severe lung infection, pneumonia and a staph infection in one of my lungs.  With that being said, I was just really sick  (in and out of the emergency room) for over  month and and so weak, I honestly was beginning to think I wasn’t ever going to get better or my strength back.
Anyway, I am having trouble catching up, so here I am.  I am mortified at what this has caused and terrified as to what this is leading to.   I am in desperate need for some assistance to pay my monthly bills from January and February.  Last year I had identity theft and my accounts were compromised, so I am unable to get a small loan to get by.  I really hate to ask but I am really drowning and not really sure what to do.  I have the bills for documentation.

If you are kind enough to help me get my car and insurance caught up so I can keep working, my AT&T phone bill that includes my kids, the hospital bill and maybe a little bit of extra cash (gas money) to keep me afloat would be a such  huge help. I am trying to post my images but it won’t let me attach the file, but unsupported file or has to be 0.5MB.  I swear I have the bills in my hand and can email the bills to you or fax them.  Please just let me know what to do….

It’s always something…..

Please have mercy on me (and my kids) to help get me out of this horrific ordeal.  I’m really not sure what the protocol is on how to do something like this, but if someone could email me back to let me know if this is right or wrong.

Thank you for taking the time out of your day to even read this. I only hope and pray that things will work out for the best.

This would be more of a blessing then you could ever imagine.

Sincerely,

Tracey Robertson

Disabled soon to be homeless. Nowhere to go, out of options.

At a loss on what to do. I need help, not just mentally and physically, but emotionally and financially. I am not exaggerating; the truth is that I can’t work and have no resources. I am out of time and out of hope. My kids are my only family and they are rightfully doing their own things – Will anyone help me? It’s no joke or scheme, if anyone cares please I need help. I can barely walk around the block, where am I to go? How to get there even, much less what I’ll do at that point. I am really gonna take one last walk and that’s about to be the end of this suffering. I need a hand up to get on my feet again; is there nobody out there who cares?

I have been disabled due to three back surgeries including a fusion and replaced disks.  In the state of Iowa I am considered permanently and totally disabled, but after 7 years of trying, I still haven’t been able to win a Federal disability case.  No doctor will touch my case as it includes chronic pain and that is a big taboo these days.  I have no vehicle, no home, and no means of income.  I have been staying on a friend’s couch for the last three weeks since I had been staying with my son, who was evicted and moved to Nevada.  I have a lot of physical restrictions, ordered by my neurosurgeon, a cane for dropfoot, and am on a lot of medications for nerve damage, bursitus, ostheoperosis, arthritis, and many other ailments.  I take medications also for severe anxiety, PTSD, clinical depression, and night terrors.  I lost my mother on Christmas day of 2016 and have no other family to turn to as most of them are not alive anymore either.  If I could help myself I would have already done it – I am not proud to have to come to this place and ask for help or money..   I do not qualify for any social programs outside of food stamps and medicaid – both of which require a physical address that I can no longer provide.

I am going to be walking the road soon.  The weather is improving here, but with my cane and my back problems I can’t walk more than around 100 feet at a stretch before resting; nor can I carry much with me – not to mention the constant tripping and falling from my dropfoot.  I will not survive such conditions and have already made two attempts on my own life; something I am very ashamed of as I was brought up to believe that suicides do not receive salvation.  It is terrifying to me and I don’t know what else to do because time is very very short..  I have a matter of days left before I have to leave here to avoid my friend being kicked out for having too many people in the apartment.  The couch is making my body hurt so bad I can barely sit up or stand without help, but I suppose laying on the ground outisde will be much worse.

Please help.  I am not fake.  This is no joke or scheme.  I am an honest man, I care about people, and I love my country even though our government does not see it fit to give anything back to this veteran.

I have posted a picture of myself back in my younger days as there is no picture that can sum up or prove anything about my situation here.

Kind Regards,

Moving my dog to Japan will cost me $3,000

Hi to all of you reading this,

Recently I have moved to Japan with my husband and could not get my dog on our flight. We have looked into shipping her here, but it costs upwards of $3,000. With this move, I am now unemployed and only relying on my husband’s income to pay all of our bills. It is tough because it takes over 3 months to get hired anywhere here. This has been hard on us leaving the US along with our families, friends, and now our baby girl. She is our baby and we miss her so much every single day. She bring so much joy to our lives every single day. I FaceTime my dad almost every day just to see her. I know people who have dogs know what I am talking about. She sleeps between our legs and under the covers every night.  I always took her everywhere with me even if it was just up the street. She is with my parents now, but it is a lot to ask them to watch her for 3 years. I just need some help to get her here. My husband travels a lot for work and she has always been by my side. He has left for stints as long as 8 months where it was just my dog and I. Its hard being here without her. As I write this my husband is gone and I’ve been alone here since 5 days after we arrived. It has been so hard without her here. Moving to a new country, we are all starting over and I can’t imagine starting this new journey without my baby girl. She would love Japan with all the nature to explore and hills. She keeps us active and brightens every single day. It would be so much to my husband and I if we could get her out here to be with us. She is our family and I do not want to be separated from her for the next 3 years. I know its hard on us, but it has to be hard on her as well because she does not understand why we haven’t come back for her yet. It breaks my heart to think about that. Please anything you can do to help us would be so appreciated. Thank you so much for reading this and hopefully you will find it in you heart to help us. Our family will be so happy to be reunited.

an Excerpt of my life for your reading pleasure

Hello,

my name is Fernando and I’m asking for your help to continue my education.

I’m a very hard working young man and in the last couple of years I’ve put off schooling to help my parents out and work many jobs to do this, however this has hindered my ability to continue my education. After I graduated from high school I was able to complete many credits and requirements for my education. I got to the point where I was a few credits away from getting a degree and a certification. However things became hard when I was revoked from my financial aid. I graduated with a 3.4 GPA and I was allowed to take college courses while in high school. At the time it seemed like a great opportunity, therefore I decided I would in fact take a few courses whilst still in high school. I didn’t know however, I was to cover my books for such classes. As a high school student all my money came from my parents, this meant I had to ask them to pay $200+ books for a class that wasn’t particularly necessary for me to take. I decided I would attempt to take the class without aid of such required materials and of course I did not fare out well. Toward a year and a half later and I would actually become a college student and deal with some of those early immature choices.

As I got closer to graduating I became very sure of myself and knew exactly what I wanted to study.  I took it upon myself to find the best places for this new chapter in my life. I found out a few schools that could help me  embark on this new adventure; Art Institute, FIDM, FIT and Parsons. These were my top colleges and I began the process of applying and come spring time I received an acceptance letter from Parsons and Art Institute. I was extremely excited at the thought of completing my goal, become a Fashion Designer. I was static at the thought of this, even more so by knowing that my school of choice had accepted me. I was young and thought I could move to New York and commence such journey. Little did I know, this was a lot harder than I expected. I was confronted with all the fees and costs of doing such a career. My parents tried to help and even persuade me to change my goals. I met with counselors but it all pointed out to changing career paths. However, all was not lost. I was able to find a community college with a great fashion program and above all, costs weren’t astronomical so it seemed that finally I would be able to fulfill my dream.

I started my college experience and began taking courses and collecting credits. Such a wonderful experience, I was able to take French, Tennis, Music and above all these wonderful new knowledge I was acquiring, I also began my one true passion; Fashion. I began my Fashion Design program as soon as I started college. It became so easy as I was truly passionate and talented. I received a small allowance from financial aid, which covered most of my course materials. My first semester went very well. However, my GPA was low and I had no idea why. On my second semester I did a little less than stellar and here’s when I was presented with more hardships. According to the school, the courses I had taken in high school were part of different semester and since I had gotten a C and a D on such, this meant my overall GPA average was below the required to receive Financial Aid. This hindered me as I needed the aid to pay for many of my materials and books. I didn’t know how I would manage but I again decided to take classes without my required materials. This venture again turned sour when many of the courses I took reflected the lack of preparedness. I was on my third semester and failing. It was then when I decided I would get a job to help me with school. It wasn’t long before I found a part-time job and like many other students began my working experience. This also meant taking less courses to accommodate my work schedule. As I worked more I became less passionate for school. And now I had more responsibilities as I needed to help out at home as well. I took a second job, which meant even less time for school. It was hard to make time for school and decided I would take the semester off in the midst of it. This was beneficial to me and I knew it would make me less stressed, however I knew in my heart putting away school would be setting my goal further away.

As time went by school was no longer my priority, it had become an after thought. One semester became two, and each time I tried to re-apply myself, it became harder as I had even less time for my school work; I knew I wasn’t loving what I was learning and wasn’t fully putting my self to it. So I decided to completely leave school.  A year a half went by, by this point I had a third job. Life was easy and careless, I explored and learned things along the way. I was content but I always yearned for more, for a career; for school. Time went by and finally decided it was time to concentrate on school again. At this point, I knew I was much closer to completing my degree but I could only take a few courses at a time if I wanted to finish strong. As I tried to take one of the courses I had left mid-semester I encountered my repercussions for doing so. I needed to appeal to take it again and this left me less than enamored for school to say the least. I’ve come very far and I know I have a real talent. I’ve been away for far too long and as I became a young adult I began to fade out my goals and dream for responsibilities that seemed to jump out of nowhere; but I guess that’s what being an adult means.

So here’s a little of my story and if it compels you, I appreciate your help. And if it doesn’t, well at least you read a decent excerpt from the book of my life.

 

Thank you in advance.

 

sincerely,

Fernando.

Help me get on my feet and attack stress head on!

My parent passed away recently. They had a lot of debt such as 4-5 loans for random stuff, multiple credit cards that weren’t payed off, etc. Parent also went through 4 divorces and was an alcoholic. Home life wasn’t the best. My parent’s girlfriend/boyfriend is handling the funeral stuff, but they can’t afford it either. I don’t have a relationship with them and they aren’t a very good person either. The home and the stuff in it goes to the bank. Parent’s bank account is frozen and I know last time I saw it, it had only 6k in it. Not in frequent communication with other parent. Other parent struggling to support themselves. I have been looking for a job for over a year and have worked a few other places about a year and a half ago. I had an interview two days ago with a company and the interview seemed to go well, so hopefully I am able to get a job and earn money. I was always under the impression that my parent had money. They frequently spent money and never appeared to be worried about bills or anything financially. I don’t talk to other family members and they don’t want anything to do with me and they are extremely dysfunctional, so I do not want to be involved in any of their drama. Some of them have already tried contacting me asking for stuff or money and that they should get half.

I never ever thought I would be needing to find a place to live. I am trying to get money just to secure a few months to a year of rent and or utilities so that I can even get a minimum wage job and save that money. I have a little money saved up, but would only be able to afford about a year of rent. I will also need to start paying for car insurance, car maintenance, utilities, internet, gas for vehicle, dog food for my dog, vet bills every once in a while, etc. (I wasn’t going to get rid of her sorry) I don’t spend money on alcohol, cigarettes, or drugs. I do my best to stay healthy and do a good job at saving my money. If I can receive money to help me until I can secure a job, it will help me get on my feet and eliminate a lot of stress. I didn’t include super detailed stuff about my whole situation, because I don’t know if this goes anywhere online. I am super grateful for anything I get. I hope that one day I can make enough to help people who are in a bad situation. I know it isn’t fun and it is extremely stressful. I am not sure how I am holding through this honestly.

Life after stroke

 

On December 20th, 2018, my already fragile life fell apart. That is the day my boyfriend had a major stroke and a heart attack. He was the head of the home, financially. The first five weeks I spent every day going to see him in the hospital. I didn’t take the time to start applying for disability and all that because my only concern was to be there with him to try and give him strength and hope to survive. I was so excited when he was coming home, but things weren’t right. He slept all the time and never felt well. In the next month we took 7 trips to the emergency room. He had 1 mini stroke and 1 full blown stroke and is now back in the hospital for an undetermined amount of time. Everyone thinks there is a lot of resources to assist people, financially, in these situations. There is not. I have been surviving by selling my possessions on offer up and Letgo. It is a very unstable and inconsistent source of income. Between scrapping all that together and commuting back and forth to the hospital by bus, I am physically and mentally exhausted and feel like I am falling apart…. like I am slowly but surely sinking, which won’t do either one of us any good. I have to be the strong one for now. If I could just get ahead of the game and get a few weeks of rent and expenses handled, I could get a more stable job and get on a more normal schedule. Please, if you could find it in your heart to help it would be such a huge step in the right direction for us.  Thank you for your time and consideration. Lesley and Stephen

Desperate and depressed

 

Hi my name is Wendy Brown. I am writing because I am desperately in need of assistance right now. I was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer in April of 2015 which resulted in me having a double mastectomy with reconstruction surgery. I received chemotherapy and suffered many complications from it. I am now suffering with neuropathy, anxiety, depression, gout, diverticulosis, carpal tunnel, upper and lower back pain, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. My doctors have informed me that I will never be able to work again because of all the things going on with me. I do have a pending disability claim which has been pending for almost 4 years now. I have a housing voucher which almost completely covers my rent. My family has been helping me when they can to stay on top of my bills because I’m not eligible to receive any monetary assistance from anywhere with the exception of SNAP benefits. I know it’s beginning to way a little heavy on my family and I don’t want to continue to be a burden to them. My lawyer told me that social security is reviewing my case to make a decision but I desperately need a little assistance just to get on top of my bills until then. My now bills include:

 

Rent (my portion): $23 monthly

Renters insurance: $15 monthly

Light bill: $50 a monthly

Phone bill: $50 monthly

Transportation to and from doctors visit

Furniture bill: $100

 

It’s not a whole lot but I have $0 income and I haven’t had any income since June 2015. If I could receive maybe $2500 this would definitely help me get on top of my bills for a few months while waiting on my decision about my disability. I really appreciate you taking the time out to review my letter and possibly and means of help to the situation. Thank you so graciously!!!!

coolest kid in the world!

I’m not usually one to ask for help but this matters more to me than things I want for myself. The last 2 years has been beyond difficult for us. Both my husband and myself have been unemployed and struggling to keep our marriage from falling apart. We’ve been married for 18 years as of this coming April 5th so it’s no small thing to us. Also on that day, is our one and only child’s 6th birthday.

She is something else. Bright and quick to learn anything she sets out to know. Musically talented and teaching herself to dance ‘like Britney Spears” hahaha. She also gets equally excited as myself to go to hunting camp twice a year to hunt with me, she can identify wild edible mushrooms and can tell you which to keep and which the buyer wants.

She loves her dogs and Jesus. She’s Been reading and getting quite good at spelling and writing recently and has been doing addition and subtraction since last year and is eagerly working at understanding multiplication. She’s got a huge heart, big dreams and big, BIG plans for this upcoming birthday.

Some of the plans in her mind I can accommodate. She wants to have a dance party at our home, with pizza and doggy decorations. She wants a pinata and a cake shaped like a dog. I can provide the music and i am fairly confident i can build the pinata and maybe even a cheesy version of the cake. But pizza, probably not.

See there’s no spare money in our lives. Not a dime. Honestly we’ll be lucky to still have electricity come the 5th. I haven’t been able to acquire even 1 gift to give her. Nothing. I’m hoping desperately someone on here is able and willing to provide me with some funds to maybe not give her dream birthday but something vaguely resembling it at least. I’m asking for $4-$500 dollars. I know it’s more than this could cost but as I said, there’s the electricity to deal with and in addition this girl has outgrown every pair of shoes she has.

We’re are not the type to ask for handouts, and honestly if my husband knew I was doing this he would likely be very angry at me. I have to try though.

Please consider helping our family make this a good birthday for our gift from God. We can’t do it on our own this year…

Old man raising his 4 young kids needs help! Compelling. Must Read.

photo4book.jpg

Hello! Thank You for looking at my situation. Please read on why I am here.

I am a single father caring and raising my own children. Next year I will be 70 and my youngest will be 11. I have 3 others who will then be 13, 14 and 15. We are in a desperate situation but I am not without faith or hope. I have a plan and a plea. The plea is for some financial assistance to help my kids now, and my plan is to never need it again. I’ll explain the plan later.

What got us here goes back in time. Over two years ago I fell 12 feet from a roof and shattered my pelvis. While I was recovering, I thanked God for sparing my life and took it as a sign that I needed to make changes in my life.

For years on end I’d gotten so caught up with the pressures of taking care of the kids, family and work, I was living on a reactionary basis. I had abandoned that which had brought such good fortune to begin with. I neglected and eventually dropped a daily method or practice of turning my care and will over to God. It’s a matter of when you do the right thing, the right things happen.

Poverty didn’t arrive overnight but was more like getting stuck in slow quicksand. When it’s said poor people have poor ways, they do. Everything starts costing more and Murphy’s Law seems to become common place. When I knew life had to change two years ago, I resolved to go back to my old ways, resolving to the right thing, Gods Will, and work to turn things around.

Living and supporting a family on Social Security makes it hard to fill in the hole I dug, but I have been able to quit digging while planning for a better future. The mistakes of the past though are catching up with me faster than I can implement any plan to resolve them and make things right.

Two consecutive days last week I was served first with a lawsuit from a new sewer line yet to be paid for, and another about our home could be sold for back taxes. We had raw sewage under the house, had to have the new sewer and hoped to pay it by refinancing the home. These two bills come close to $3500.

photo bills thumbnail.jpg

These are what prompted me to seek help here.

Though we are currently in a tough spot, I feel good, and I feel good about the future. Over the last year I was able to overcome obstacles that looked insurmountable. Most of this was personal but I was able to see progress in the right direction as time moved along. Only recently did I start to tackle the money problem.

Life teaches and I’ve been in school quite a while. I hit a devastating period in life 30 years ago, much worse than the current one. I had nothing, not even a car let alone a job. What I did have was agonizing emotional pain. It was that experience which taught me to turn my life and care over to the Will of God.

My life started getting better quickly. It got better and better. Being alone, I had time and came up with a system or method or practice that I used to help me do what I needed to do on a daily basis to align myself with Gods Will. I’ve been using it again and I know it’s working. It’s always worked but one of the biggest requirements is patience. Yet that gets easier to when you know what you’re working for is coming.

I call this practice – using my Circle of Spirit. Within a few years of using it my life went from nothing to earning a six figure income. I found I could get about anything I wanted (God willing), albeit what I wanted most. What I wanted then, more than anything, was to have my own child or children I could raise from birth to adult. It was a long shot to say the least but I used my Circle of Spirit anyway. By the time I was pushing fifty though, it was long forgotten.

This picture of my family taken about 9 years ago shows I got what I wanted after all. It was God willing and I consider myself blessed everyday.

photofamresize.jpg

My plan to better our income involves marketing and selling manuscripts and books from a website with the domain name – josephmwarrenbooks.com

I’ve not been able to devote any money to get it up and running just yet, but my plan to raise money on the website will come from donations in exchange for a limited number of manuscripts and pre-orders of a book I will publish sometime yet in 2019. When the book is published, josephmwarrenbooks will become a small bookstore featuring the book – “Use Your Circle of Spirit”.

The full title on the manuscript is “Use Your Circle of Spirit” (Yes, you have one), subtitled, “How to Use Gods Will to Have what YOU Want”. It’s to lengthy to go on here, but when the website is opened, you can gather information on the book, the content, how the book came about (an interesting tale in itself) and what I am offering in exchange for donations.

If I can track donations here I will treat them the same as a website donation. I want to return something for helping. I will be offering a limited set of the manuscripts – a one of 300 – only but have to ask $26 each to cover the cost of a quality job. If I can’t track who donates, please contact me at the website in a few weeks (or as soon as it’s open), and let me know. I will thank you.

If you’ve read this far, God Bless You. If you can help me, help myself, and thus others, I will remain forever grateful.

Please donate here – PayPal.Me/josephmwarrenbooks

And again, Thank You.   –   JMW

Forclosure Could Cause Me To Lose My Home And My 9 Year Old

Forclosure Could Cause Me To Lose My Home And My 9 Year Old

I worked for over year, building up credit, working with my Landlords/Mortgage Brokers/Realtors to find the perfect house I could afford…once I signed on it and took a new job of course. Honestly, it was a risk, I knew the things they were telling me to do before closing like, “Only use cash for a month straight,” and “You can’t show any bills coming out of that account until I give the Okay,” were what one might politely call “creative” and maybe not so politely call “illegal” but I liked them and truly felt they were trying to help me so I did what they said and I was approved, started the new job, moved in and things were amazing!

Until I was fired three months later due to a car accident and having to take some time off work. I was out of job for just shy of a month, in that time I fixed my transportation issue and was hired in at an even higher rate by my current employer.

Things were going great again until my son came down with Influenza A otherwise known as the Bird Flu and I was forced to take three unpaid weeks off to provide care for him.

Shortly after my son recovered, his father and I ended up back in child custody court due to the fact that he owes me over $5000 in backed child care costs. Although we hope to resolve the issue in front of a judge exactly one month from today, I am now so behind on my still less than a year old mortgage that I am in active foreclosure and I fear that if my son’s father finds out he will use my forclosure status as leverage to pursue full custody and ask the judge to forgive his arrears.

So this is my last ditch effort to save my home and continue to give my son the stability, love and care I have since he was born. I have exhausted all other avenues at this point as I was not unemployed long enough to qualify for state funded programs and my mortgage is to young to qualify for a modification. My only hope left is you, and the faith that you will find it in your hearts to assist me in raising the $9000 the bank needs for a mortgage reinstatement.

This is where I planned to raise my child, this is the home that he loves and the community he has always known. I know there is an angel out there somewhere who will bring peace to this single mom’s heart and a home full of joy and comfort to her nine year old boy, maybe that angel is you?

I’m Drowning: Another Sad Millenial Story

Screenshot_20190311-212629_CACU.jpgTL;DR:

-2 college degrees (IT and English)
-Decent paying job on paper (45k), half of paycheck is taken by taxes, retirement and health insurance
-Work 45 hrs a week
-Do not do drugs
-Rarely drink
-Harry Potter and Pokemon Go Nerd
-Crippling Anxiety, PCOS and migraines
-100k student loan debt
-13k car loan
-7k in credit card debt
-2k in past medical bills
-$600/mo rent for a bedroom in a passive-agressive difficult roommate’s apt =$7200/year
-$150/mo car insurance, =$1800/year. Can’t afford to pay every 6 mos.
-Always living paycheck to paycheck
-Eat most meals at my mom’s house
-Feel hopeless

This is hard for me, but I honestly don’t have any other options at this point. Asking for help is very hard for me, both financially and emotionally. I have terrible anxiety and feel guilty about everything.
A good pity party has an illness component, a grew-up-in-the-streets component, and an emotional component. I have all of those, but my guilt over asking for help compels me to tell you that my problems aren’t as bad as other people’s problems. My illness isn’t fatal, my “streets” backstory is mediocre, and my emotional issues are pretty much cliche at this point. I’m not saying all of this to undermine myself, but I feel the need to be completely honest about my situation. I don’t want to feel like I’m manipulating anyone.

Ilness issues-
I have pretty crippling Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Social Anxiety. I have dealt with depression in the past, after my Dad died. I did use antidepressants temporarily to help me deal with my depression, and I absolutely think it is useful in certain situations, but I don’t like how it numbs me. So, I choose to deal with my anxiety issues without medication. This means my day-to-day is harder, mostly addressing my anxiety with self-practiced CBT exercises and immersion therapy. I also have PCOS, which means I have trouble losing weight, I have to stay on birth control to prevent myself from getting cervical cancer, and have more ob/gyn visits than the average person. It also means I likely can’t have children. The medications I take for PCOS, combined with various prescribed weight loss and migraine meds, makes me sick all the time. I also need extensive dental work bc I didn’t have dental insurance for most of my adult life, so nearly all of my molars are gone or have cavities. I have never done drugs, but when I was 5 I fell on my face and my baby teeth slammed into my still forming adult teeth in my gums causing tiny cracks and weak spots, which is why I get cavities so easily. Also probably genetics. And grinding my teeth because of anxiety. With all my other financial issues, my teeth have to be on the bottom of the list, but my current dental issue is dire.

Sad backstory –

I grew up poor, but not like, in the projects, mom on drugs, in the foster system poor. My mom has never been on drugs, nor has she ever lost custody of us. We all have the same dad. She left my abusive dad when I was 5, and we saw him maybe twice a year until I was 12. After that it was a little more often, but not much. For most of my life, he was an alcoholic who lived with his Mom.
My mom was a high school dropout and worked at warehouse jobs to support us. When our utility bills would get too high and get shut off, she would get the utilities turned on in our name. When I was a teenager, she married a man who was regularly in and out of prison, and who verbally and then physically abused her. All extra money went to his account in prison.
By the time I graduated high school, my credit was terrible and I had multiple bills in my name. I couldn’t go straight to college because she made just enough for me to not be eligible for grants. However, she didn’t actually have any money to pay for my college. I had to wait until I was 25 to start college and take out loans. Financially, I started out in the hole, and I’ve never been in a monetary position to dig myself out. I’m barely surviving. With my anxiety, I decided to do online school for my associate’s degree, which costs more, going through a for-profit school (UoP). After that, I decided to get my BA at the state university, compounding my student loan debt, but getting me a more useful degree.
A couple of years ago, my paid-for car started having major issues, and I have zero savings. I couldn’t afford to fix it, especially since it seemed to be falling apart. I pulled the trigger and bought a car on payments, and now I’m drowning. Its a good car and a good deal, so I’m not regretting the purchase, but with my car payment and insurance, I’m barely making it. I even cut costs by moving in with someone who had a spare room, but my anxiety and his emotional issues make our situation super uncomfortable.
I have a full-time job with decent health insurance, but between insurance, retirement and taxes, about half of my paychecks are gone before I even get it. On paper it seems like I make enough money to live, but in reality I make less than $25k a year take home pay. The only reason I’m not homeless is because my student loans are currently in forbearance, I eat all my meals at my mom’s house and she added me to her cell phone plan. I have 8 credit cards, and I can only afford to make minimum payments. I have to buy all of my purchases on payments because I never have more than $100 that isn’t already spoken for.

Emotional-
It’s all so depressing and frustrating and hopeless. I don’t have any backup or safety net. My car was towed for being parked in a no-parking zone when I had the flu, and the $260 it cost to get it out nearly made me homeless. I am drowning and no matter how hard I try, I get nowhere. I can’t keep going like this, I’m going to fall apart. I’m going to lose everything. I can’t give up my car because I have to be able to get to work and it would take me 6 months to save enough cash to buy a cheap one outright. I have to be able to drive to work to earn money. Not to mention the damage it would to do my credit.
My anxiety has the potential to turn into depression at any point, if I get stressed enough. So on top of all my financial stress, I’m also stressed that my STRESS is going to push me back into a depression. Its a hopeless place when you are stressed about how stressed you are.

Please understand that I do not ask for help lightly. I work 45 hours a week at my job and don’t have enough time or availability to get another job. Also my social anxiety would kill me if I worked 7 days a week and didn’t get a break from being around people. I’ve cancelled media subscriptions, buy all my clothes at thrift stores and yard sales, moved out of my own apt into an uncomfortable roommate situation to cut costs. I rarely go to movies or do any other entertainment that costs money. I put my student loans in forbearance bc of financial difficulties. I’ve done my due diligence in trying to cut costs and be frugal. I’m TRYING, I swear.

Anything will help, because I am drowning and I really don’t know what else to do.

Thank you so much for your time and your help.

We Don’t Belong Here

FB_IMG_1550692643576.jpg

I would like to start this plea for help by letting you know that just for reading my letter, you are already a hero to me.
As I sit here writing this letter, a part of me understands that there are others out there in this world who are in more need of help than me. Unfortunately, I have run out of options and have come to forgive myself for asking for help.
I have been permanently disabled for over a decade now. I am stricken with many chronic, debilitating, and even rare diseases and birth defects. I’m 39 and have been told by a doctor I may live to see 50 if I’m lucky. Although I keep trying, I am unable to work even with the loads of will and drive I have, my body says no.
My momma left her life 10 years ago to live with and care for me and my children the way I could no longer do. She landed a job from Medicaid in which she was able to earn income from caring for us. Of course the $1200 monthly income she received benefited us all. Things seemed ok especially since I also received $500 weekly child support from my children’s father. For years this worked and we were able to budget our money and make ends meet.
In January 2017, our world became a struggle. New laws banned family from caring for family and being paid for it. We were devastated. To make matters worse, my ex-husband caught a 3-year prison sentence leaving us without the $500 weekly child support that I received for so many years. So here we were, nearly broke with seemingly no light at the end of the tunnel.
We have truly been struggling. We’ve been evicted twice, we lost our car, and we had no choice but to take a small 1 bedroom apartment at one of the worst places here in my town. They are infested with cockroaches, mice, and drug dealers and users. My 15 year old son, myself, my momma, my sick brother, and my 2 family boxers all in this little apartment. Our stove has a gas leak which they refuse to fix therefore every night before bed we have to manually turn the gas off. About a month ago the plumbing went bad and was flooding the apartment and despite begging for help and receiving that help, they let us live in that filth for 3 whole days.
We get monthly checks but we are forced to pay $800 per month here. This leaves us without enough for deposits, rent, and utilities to move. We’ve been trying so hard since November 2018 to get out but without help, there’s absolutely no way out and I’m getting sicker by the day.
As I write this I find it hard to find the strength to continue, but my family needs this. I am asking for help to move, get all utilities turned on, furniture, as we’ve lost everything. If at all possible we also need a car because no one wants to take us places. It’s like our so called friends have vanished. I know it may be a lot to request, but a good $10,000 would truly and tremendously give us the boost we need.
I understand that my plea may go unanswered, but life has taught me “Don’t Think Because You Only Live Once!” So I made myself gather the courage to at least try.
For my family and I this will be the new start we need and utilizing all of the new programs I’ve researched, including The Hart Program, which is synonymous to the program my mom did for Medicaid. Please believe that we are good, well deserving people who carry complete faith in Our Lord and for people like you. We simply need help….and a chance.
Thank you for reading my plea and God Bless You for what you do!

Need Some Help with Utilities

I am a full-time university student and I am currently approaching my last term of schooling as it is my Senior Year. I will be the first in my family to graduate from college and have a degree.

Rent is very expensive around my university and it is hard to make it through financially each month, even with financial aid and the money I get from working. My family cannot support me a lot as we are poor back home, and they have their own financial problems to dead with right now. Regardless, for the past three years or so, I have been able to keep up with my financial obligations and payments on my own, and there has been very little problems until now.

Just recently, my car was hit (on the side) by a drunk driver at an intersection about two weeks ago (from this posting). Both of us thankfully made it out alive with minor injuries, but my car was totaled and had to be put in the shop for repairs. This is the car that I usually use to commute to school and work, but I managed to make do by taking the bus.

However, the car repairs did take a lot out of my finances, more than I anticipated as I thought I could at least scape by to make rent payments and all necessary utility payments at the beginning of the month. I was able to pay rent, but it nearly depleted my balance and I had almost no money left to pay many of my outstanding utilities and fees. I ended having a return check fee from not having enough to pay for one of my bills, because I forgot about an automatic payment (which I admit was my fault). My bank account is considered in the negative now, and I need some funds to pay the return check fee and other utilities.

I have considered many options on how to go about this. I cannot turn to my family right now, as they also have payments they must attend to as previously discussed. They are also forbidding me from taking out a payday loan, because of previous bad experiences with debt around our family (which I understand). I knew this website was an option as well, but I wanted to make it one of my last resort options. So now I turn to the generosity of the online community for help.

I am not asking for an extravagant amount, $100-200 would be perfectly fine. I just need enough to pay off my outstanding fees and bills to bring my situation under control, with some money for a small amount groceries and just overall contingency. Everything should be back to normal once I get paid at the end of this month and next quarter’s financial aid comes in. Any help is much appreciated, I am near the end of my studies and I must persevere to make it to the end.

Thank you in advance.

Help me go to Yale

image.jpg

Ariana is a 16 year-old girl from Utah. She currently attends West High School. She is a hard-working young lady, who takes advanced and skilled classes. Her favorite class is her College Film and Literature Spanish class. She would be the first female in her family to attend college. She is in her schools  Nationally ranked A’ Capella.

In years past she’s received the Cesar Chavez Language Arts Award(2016,2018), the Academic  Excellence Presidential Award(2015), The National Youth Leadership Award(2015). She is  immensely passionate about civil rights and her Latino community and culture.  When asked “What do you want to be when you grow  up?”, she said “I wish I could be a superhero, as odd as it sounds its true. Being a superhero would mean that I could save someone who is in a tough situation, because that’s what superheroes do. They save people who need it the most, they know the rules of the game, they know whats fair and what’s not. They know that what was done to me and my family wasn’t fair. I know in my heart that there are hundreds of human beings who need a superhero in their life. I want to be a superhero in hundreds of people’s lives. The more common term used to describe them would be lawyers. I want to be a lawyer.  So many people have influenced my life to come to this decision, even superheros of my own.”

Due to her academic excellence she has been invited to attend the National Student Leadership Conference this summer, July 2019. She has decided to do the Law Program at Yale University. After completing the program  she would be awarded an Academic Transcript, Letters of Recommendation and a Certificate of Achievement. But since the school is far from where she is. Her flight and the Conference fee’s will be quite costly for her and her family to pay. By donating, you can help her achieve her goals in becoming the superhero that, she quotes, “needs” to be.

Mortgage cost help

Hi, my name is Elaine.  I am the mother of four children.  My boyfriend and I have been together almost nineteen years.  Our children are 17, 14, 10 and 9.  My boyfriend is a CNC Machinist.  I am a homemaker.  I am unable to work due to health issues.  I have been in the process of trying to get disability for four years now.  I have struggled with muscle weakness and fatigue since i was a young adult.  I have been unable to work since my youngest was born.  Things only got worse in December of 2014.  I was weak and developed double pneumonia.  I was in the hospital for nine days.  That entire time I was unable to do anything for myself.  I was so weak.  After this bought with pneumonia I finally got a diagnosis for the weakness I had been having since I was fifteen.  I have CMS (Congenital Myastenia Syndrome).  CMS is an inherited neuromuscular disorder caused by different defects in the neuromuscular junction.  When my symptoms started in high school it was only once or twice a year and never last long.  I called these times my episodes.  As I aged the episodes came more frequently and also lasted longer each time.  My first two pregnancies brought me some relief.  I didn’t have any episodes during either.  After that, thought, I started getting more and more episodes.  It was probably 2006 or so that things got worse,  The episodes were coming about monthly.  The were lasting about a week.  Leading up to pneumonia i was weak 2-3 weeks out of every month.  On a bad day it was hard to walk, brush my teeth or hair and do daily chores.  On a good day I was able to use the stairs into our home.  In the early fall fo 2015 I finally found a doctor who knew what was wrong with me.  Genetic testing confirmed his diagnosis.  I am now on medication that makes life more manageable.  Because of my CMS I have not been able to work.  My boyfriend works 55 plus hours a week.  We are trying to get a home loan now but are told we don’t have enough money in the bank.  We have the money for a down payment but not to cover closing cost.  He makes enough money to pay a mortgage and all other bills.  We currently live in a mobile home.  Our gas and electric bills are higher than people that live in a house.

We need to move soon.  Our oldest graduates this year.  Also our trailer is old and no matter how much work we do to the roof, it keeps leaking.

I do not like asking for hand outs but I am out of answers and options.  I just want to give our kids a real, nice home.  I want to be proud of our house.  I want to have family and friends over.  Right now it is embarrassing and too tiny.  I don’t want a huge house, three beds with two baths and some sort or yard is all we need.

Thank you to anyone reading this.  I appreciate your time and if possible anything you could give to help our family.

Please Help

Hi, I appreciate you taking your time to read this post. I could really use any amount of help that I could get right now. I usually try to stay on top of things, but I am really going through a lot of hardships all at once. I recently had a baby and the Father isn’t helping at all. He keeps getting out of paying child support. He is doing absolutely nothing, and his whole family as well. I am struggling to make car payments. I was hit a year ago, while pregnant, and my car was totaled. I could not keep up with rent, so I lost my apartment. I am almost embarrassed to go to work because I am always wearing the same few outfits all the time. My Mom used to watch my child but now she is sick and can not. Now my child is in day care and her day care owner has been helping to pay her fees, but I do not know how long that is going to last. My child’s clothes are getting too tight, but I can’t afford to buy more clothes. She will not get to have a party for her birthday, but I guess she is too young to understand. As she gets older I can tell that she is starting to sense the tremendous amount of stress that I am under. I have been diagnosed with pre diabetes twice, but with so little money I have to buy more economical foods, which are not helping me to stay away from carbs. I would turn to my family for help, however my family is doing very bad. We have had a lot of deaths and can barely pay for the funerals. I have had a few interviews for better jobs, but I had no luck with getting hired. I am going into tremendous debt because I have to charge a lot of the things that I need and my credit cards have a very high interest rate. I would highly appreciate any help during this time of need. I have had to receive mental health counseling for depression before and I am so scared that with all of the stress I am going to relapse. I am a religious person, but things are so bad, that I’m staring to loose faith. Please help me to restore it. Thank you so very much in advance. I pray that God touches your heart to bless me, and in turn bless you. I will pay it forward!

Living in Complete Fear

Have you ever had that dream where you are running as hard as you can and realize you are going no where? As you try to move you can’t and your entire body seems to give up. Only your emotions seem capable of responding to your mind. You start to panic, fear sets in, and then you wake up. This is the best way I can explain my daily life and it feels like I’m never going to wake up. Someone, please, help me.

I no longer want to live a life trapped by fear. Sadly I need help eliminating $18,000 in credit card debt so I can start making the steps to move on to a happier, healthier lifestyle. Financial help is not all I need. I suffer from severe depression, anxiety, and am desperately seeking a therapist to help me through those issues. My beautiful 5 year old son deserves a happy mommy and normal life.

My “significant” other and father of my son turned into a different person the day I found out I was pregnant. I still can’t make sense of all that has happened and feel trapped. His actions have left me feeling insignificant, worthless, scared, isolated, extremely sad, lonely, and often like nothing more than surrogate to my own child. Nothing I do seems good enough and all the housework and childcare responsibilities fall on me. Going to doctors appointments, getting a job, exercising, and even getting my haircut are impossible tasks as I’m not allowed to let anyone babysit my son.

I’m at such a low point simple daily chores or activities send me into a complete panic attack. I can’t unload a dishwasher without trembling with fear. Often I experience intense flashes of fear making me want to crawl up into a ball, hold my knees and rock back and forth. I can’t remember the last time I had a good laugh or even a good cry. I can hardly eat because my stomach is constantly in knots. All I feel is fear. It’s horrible!

I wish I could say the debt was created by purchasing unnecessary luxury items or going on a fantastic vacation. But it’s not. It was created by daily necessities like food, diapers, household cleaning items, sundries, etc. I will hopefully be able to return to work once my son starts kindergarten however September seems too far away, the debt seems so out-of-control, and my lack of self-confidence and current mental state may make obtaining work difficult.

If you have anything to spare, can you please help me? I’m emotionally, mentally, and financially trapped. I love my son so much and this needs to stop. I don’t want him to grow-up thinking this is normal. One step at a time. I will somehow get out of this endless overwhelming fog and make a happier life for me and my son. Please help me if you can. Please share my story with anyone you think can help. Someone, please, help me.

Thank you for reading my story. Thank you for caring. Thank you for helping.

PLEASE HELP MY FAMILY!!! DESPERATE!!!

Good morning. I hope this message finds you all blessed and in great spirits.
My name is Nicole Cummings and I am a single mother of 3 awesome children in DESPERATE
need of financial help. 2018 and the start of 2019 has been EXTREMELY difficult for my children and I.
I have lost several jobs from not having a car or not able to to find and maintain a good car. I live
in Augusta, GA where the bus system is VERY LIMITED and paying for rides to and from work became VERY
expensive and ultimately more than I could afford while trying to keep up with rent and bills. Needless
to say I found a work from home job working for Apple after 3 months of unemployment. This allowed me to
make money and not needing a car to do it. However this added another bill which was my internet
and phone bill that NEEDED to be paid in order to keep the job. Due to me already being 3 months behind on bills and rent
I was unable to catch up and lost the job while ending up more in debt. As of February we were evicted from our home. I filed my income tax in
hopes of getting a reliable car, clean up my credit and get us into a stable place to live. I found a used for $1600.00 3 weeks
ago and joined two delivery companies in hopes of making money FAST in order to get us into a place by the end of March. Sad to Say I was sold a lemon
and I have had to spend the rest of my Income Tax refund getting new coils, new thermostat, alternator and starter for the car.
As of yesterday the driver side axel broke and the car is not able to be driven. I have only had the car 3 weeks but because it
was bought as is I am unable to get help. I don’t even have the tag for it yet. This car was my ONLY means of making money in
order to get my children and I into our own home. We are currently sleeping on a neighbors living room floor and paying $600 a
month plus utilities and we are not able to turn the heat on AT ALL. My children and I have been sick for the past 4 weeks but still we are unable to touch the thermostat. I have 2 full time jobs lined up starting the first week of April but I need a reliable car to be able
to maintain those jobs and to maintain the 2 current delivery jobs I have now. I am trying to remain positive and keep my faith but it is
becoming unbearable. This situation is breaking me down but more importantly my children and their happiness.
My 10 year old came to me crying 2 days ago because she feels like cutting herself and she expressed that she feels like dying.
She has NEVER said this to me before she has ALWAYS been a happy girl and so full of love. She told me that she does like the person that she is turning into by living in this house and she wants to die. She is only 10 and should NOT be feeling that kind of pain. As a mother I AM HEARTBROKEN. I am trying to assure that everything will be ok even though I feel like my world is falling apart. I try to assure her that NONE of this is her fault but she sees my PAIN and she hears me cry at night even though I try to cry silently. I am trying to get financial help to get my current car fixed or get a new car, raise my credit score by 50 points in order to get us into our own place. I have 3 accounts on my credit report, that if can pay off ($3000 total), will allow me to have the credit score I need. I intended on using my Income Tax refund to make this possible but my car issues have taken that away from me and my children. I am looking $10000 to accomplish everything I need to move forward in my life with my children. I am in DESPERATE NEED. Anything that you can donate to my family will be GREATLY, GREATLY appreciated. Have a wonderful day everyone and remain blessed.

This cannot be what God intended…

Or perhaps, i am paying back for something I’ve done when I was younger. I came across this website while considering the last few options I DONT have, so I figured I would write some. I am going to apologize ahead of time for any despairingly pathetic, the whole worlds out to get me remarks. I never used to be such a negative person, I’ve never been through anything like this before. I have never been so unhappy, and throughout this endeavor of mine to hold on, and not give in to the constant calamity of rotten situations that has become my existence I have become a bit jaded.  For that I am sorry, everyone has crumby things going on in their life. Truly awful things. Things that I’m fully aware make my troubles insignificant. If the past several years worth of this stuff had been spread out even by just 10% I’m sure I would feel very differently about my circumstances. But it hasn’t.  If I had just one of my loved ones, or a buddy, tell me “listen brother, everyone is dealing with the same things at the same rate as you! Tighten up!” I would joyfully accept my position and maybe get to sleep that night. But none of that has happened. Those who know me best know two things about me. That I am tough and have always dealt with everything that’s come my way, and TWO that through seeing with their own eyes they have never seen so many bad things happen to just one person in their life.  Which by the way is so helpful. I am almost positive I’m writing this into oblivion. Or, I’ll need to enter in some personal information at the end of this that I won’t. Or there’s 15 paragraphs about the 6 email address money making through mailing addresses for me to try when I finish. I don’t care I am going to write just because I have no where else to turn.  I have been self sufficient since I was 15. Grew up for a bit in a boys home, when I got out I got a good job and met the girl I would eventually marry and have children with. I had a pretty crumby childhood, lots of abuse to summarize.  But when my little girl were born everything changed. I suddenly realized why I had been kept alive through all the stuff I had been through.  In a single beautiful life changing moment, they handed Grace to me and i was broken. I cried for the first time i could remember, all over my newborn daughter. And from that moment forth and then doubled with my second little girl I was hooked. I had the opportunity to give these girls the life I never had. And I swore never to get them or by any means recreate anything resembling the childhood i had. Using what I wasn’t given and what I could have used as a child as sort of a template, to make sure that the most important part of my entire life would always know daddy loves them. And I did. And my wife did. We were on the same page, and we prospered. I started my own business (a small flooring company), she went to school, we bought a house,… and never looked back. I married young, and had my girls at 23 and 24. I truly felt happiness for the next 12 years. Then, soon after my wife got a new job making a lot more money and working with people much younger then her, she began acting different. Going out alot more, dressing and acting different. And through a series of discoveries into a side of her I never knew and some bad decisions surrounded in dishonesty she had made she ended up leaving our girls and me. We were not perfect, but for the handful of problems we had we also had 10 times that amount in things most couples wouldn’t trade for anything. Most of all, two beautiful little girls. Since that moment I have not been able to find my way back to happiness. To a productive, successful adult life. My girls stayed with me while my wife moved on and around, not paying child support or participating in their lives for a long time. I don’t have much family, so I did the best I could with what I had. The worst part was how her decisions and her leaving changed my girls for ever. All the fighting I did to make sure the were safe and happy and would never have to know true sadness, and it ended up being their mother that does it. And there was absolutely nothing I could do to stop it. Well though Months of talking, crying, hiding my true feelings about their mother and just trying to keep them on their schedule we resumed some resemblance of a normal life. Soccer practice, birthday parties, showers and school and supper. They were doing good in school again, talking and happy.  And then I lost our house, and not because I wasn’t paying the bills. Although alone financially, it wasn’t that simple. On short notice I had to move into a crumby little place because it was all I could afford. My truck broke down permanently through a mechanical failure the manufacturer had never seen before, I lost my health insurance, my oldest broke her kneecap, and so on and so forth. Fast forward to now? All of that was not only about 5% of the total sum of difficult things I went through but it was also just the beginning so it seemed much easier to deal with. Over three years later, and my girls have moved in with their mother, I moved out of the house i rented (and took excellent care of) to try and save money and attempt to maybe start dating someone, and the folks i was renting from have turned into greedy dishonest slum Lords, I was in an accident 5 weeks ago and totalled my new truck and my trailer that I pull and use daily for work. Not only was over half of my equipment damaged as well (my work equipment) but I also sustained a brain injury in the accident. I have not been able to work as a result of my injuries, and because my work is slow in the colder months, i used all of my savings to move into the new house and I was just plain old not financially prepared for something like this, I am now so far in the hole I don’t see a way out. I have a perfect record, a perfect driving record even. I have tried so hard and done the best I can. To do right by my girls, god and my character. And as a result I have somehow lost everything. I have not even described a FRACTION of the barrage I’ve faced over the years, but for my hard work and not turning into the person I should have been, I can’t pay my rent that’s late, my power is about to get cut off, everything. Everything is worse then it’s ever been. I have nothing. Nothing left. Nothing to sell, nothing I enjoy, loss is all I have and I have no more ideas or resources. Now to some people being in the hole the amount I am might seem like nothing, but to me it may as well be a million dollars. I am so sick of all this. Sick of paying paying paying for something with the last little bit of nothing I have left. And realizing what’s the point anymore has been the biggest epiphany I’ve had for a long time. I was such a happy person, my little girls were here and happy and I thought I had figured out how to keep and take care of the few simple things in life that bring me joy. But I can’t have anything. Obviously. The other day I thought about what it would be like to leave this earth and it was the first time in a year I felt excited? I love my girls so much. And I am sorry I couldn’t do better for you guys. I tried so hard. To be caring, stay honest. Helpful. I love you two so much. I am so tired of talking about this. Feeling this way.   I am so tired

Single mom needs a car for daughters doctor appointments

My name is Stacy and I am a single mom to my beautiful 13 year old daughter. I have never done this before but I am desperately needing money to purchase a car to take my daughter to her doctors appointments. My daughter was diagnosed with a very rare genetic disorder called superior masentric artery syndrome which in layman’s terms means her stomach is in the wrong spot and when her masentric artery and her aortic artery push together she is not able to digest food. With this disorder she also has abdominal migraines which are very painful and cause her to vomit bile from her liver. With this disorder being so rare there isn’t a whole lot they can do to help her. She sees several doctors every month and when it really acts up she is in the hospital for several days. Doctors have tried a feeding tube in which they put a feeding tube in through her nostril and it goes all the way down to her stomach. With the feeding tube she is hooked up to a machine that delivers nutrients to her stomach. The feeding tube is usually in for at least 6 weeks at a time and it does help for a little while but when she starts having really bad episodes they put a new feeding tube in. The only other option for her is to put a feeding tube through her abdomen which is the only permanent solution because of it being so rare but with that she would not be able to participate in sports ever and she loves sports and it would be something she would have her whole life! I’m just not ready to do that to her and hope that doctors will eventually come up with other options for her. That being said I am constantly taking her to doctors appointments so that this is monitored all the time!! So I definitely need a car to make these appointments. I had a car that I thought was dependable, but one morning a couple of weeks ago I went out and started my car to warm up and went back inside. I heard a loud bang noise that came from outside so I went to the front door and opened it only to find my car fully engulfed in flames. I quickly called 911 yelled for my daughter that our car was on fire and we needed to get out of the house ASAP!! It was a very cold and windy that day which made the fire even bigger and we were still waiting for the fire fighters to show up which eventually they did and it took them a good hour to put out the fire! My car was completely totaled and had only liability insurance on it! The fire fighters never figure out what caused the fire. So I am desperately needing money to buy a car so my daughter can make it to all her doctors appointments! If anyone could help me by giving money to purchase a vehicle I would be truly grateful! My daughters health depends on it! So please help me. (I have also enclosed a photo of my car!) Thank you for taking the time to read my story!!

I am embarrassed and full of shame to be writing this but have reached a point where I really have no other option.    I am a  full time single father to my son and have been raising him 100% of the time for the  past seven years with zero assistance.    I am a teacher and coach two sports at the school.    Living on one income on a teacher salary in Northern Virginia has been challenging to say the least.   Despite coaching two sports to earn extra money, working part time and summer jobs I have still had to rely on credit cards and loans to get by and survive the summer months when I do not receive my teacher salary.   I have reached the financial breaking point.   Credit cards are maxed out.  I can’t another loan as due to my debt to income ratio.   I was praying for a tax refund but after doing my taxes I owe 1200 dollars.   My checking account is literally at ZERO this morning and I don’t get paid again until April 1.  I dont qualify for any governmental handouts that I have helped fund with my taxes.  When  our food runs out in the next couple days I literally have no idea how I will feed and support my son!   I know there are people who are worse off then me but I am praying and hoping that my story resonates with at least one person who has walked a mile in my shoes who is able and willing to help.   Thanks for taking the time to read!   And should anyone reading this choose to help THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart!  You are indeed an angel and I karma will smile upon you and your loved ones.

Eviction

I have lived in the house where I grew up in all my life. My brother served me with vacate notice. I now have 30 days to move. The house is owned by all of my siblings. But my brother is the executor over the estate. I don’t have the money to move out in thirty days. He says that I breached the trust by not having continuous utilities at the house which is not true. I never thought my brother would do this to me..

I don’t have the finances to move..or a place to move to.

Please help me…

Thank you…….
