Hit rock bottom and then got scammed

My name is Alex and I am asking for help from anyone willimg to give it. In the last month I lost my main job that I worked 45 hrs a week for the past 3 years. Long story short there was a new manager and he wanted to do an entire staff change so I was suddenly fired for an incident I was not involved in. One of my friends got mistreated at a hospital, fell into a coma, and passed away 3 weeks later. My boyfriend who I financially supported for 3 years broke up with me, moved to the other side of the country because he got a job and then a new girlfriend, while I still am trying to pay off a trip we took 8 months ago. My family is taking care of my grandma who has dementia, and can’t help me with any bills or rent. My TV stopped working, my car needs new tires before it really starts to snow, & I’ve been eating ramen, rice, and oatmeal for a month. I was so alone and desperate and terrified that I wouldn’t be able to make rent that I got involved with what I thought was a job but I ended up getting scammed. They gave me fake checks that I used to pay some of my bills with and after the bank discovered it was fraud they froze that account. So now I owe all of the monthly bills and the $2,500 that the scammers stole from that account before the checks were found out to be fraud. The worst part was that after the scammers got their money and disappeared I actually missed having someone who wanted to talk to me everyday. This is the most stressed, lonely, and heartbroken I’ve ever felt, so many bad things has happened in such a short amount of time it’s hard to find a way to get out of bed everyday. I was able to get a job but it doesn’t pay nearly enough for me to get ahead of all this debt. I’ve sold as much of my clothes and jewelry as I could and am trying to find another job, but I’m running out of time. If anyone out there could please help me see that all is not lost, that I’ll be ok because I’m really scared and don’t know what else I can do to prevent myself from getting into an even worse situation than I am now.

I need $10,000 for rent, bills, tires, debt, and to cover the fraudulent check. Anything helps, and thank you.

Hello,my name is Koby and well a very serious problem has invaded my life. and although i have tried relentlessly to resolve my situation, i have hit a solid block wall, which has forced me, in having to ask for this Help. first of all, i want to say, that i realize allot of people are most likely to be seriously, reluctant in believing, or trusting, the word’s of a complete stranger. because actually, i would as well, especially if it involves money. because of the inexplicable acts of scammers, and deceitful people in this world, it harms two kinds of people, the ones who wish to be kind, and would like to help when, and if they could. but we have been scammed ,and deceived in the past and that defiles our trust, and makes us way more reluctant to even want to help at all. i say this because i have been there myself as well, and the other are the  people who do honestly, sincerely, needs the kindness of other’s, and i now have been put on this side. i just felt is was important to tell of this because honestly, i am scared to death, because the results i hope to get will literally, be determining my fate. so before i explain my cause, i want to state, i will provide documentation, Dr. reports, proof, to those willing to offer, beneficial donation’s, so to prove my sincerity, and honesty.

C.O.P.D/EMPHYSEMA

Well i am a divorced/single male, i have no dependent children, i live alone, and have no immediate family that can help me. i have worked and have taken care of myself 10+ yrs. and at least made enough to pay my bills, and just get by. well almost 4 yrs ago, i came down sick, and went to the Dr. who then, diagnosed me with having C.O.P.D i am sure most people, know or have heard about this disease, it is progressive, there is no cure, and it will continue to get worse over time. which it certainly has, since i was first diagnosed. which brings me to where i am now. back in late aug. 2017 once again came down sick, Dr. tells me it has progressed further, to being C.O.P.D/EMPHYSEMA work then became harder, causing more problems with my work. well then again i came down sick, that was the beginning of my doom. Dr says i have lost 73% of my lung function capacity, i can still walk, but i have to do it very slowly, or i quickly lose my breath. so anyway being i am at this stage, i am no longer, able to work. the Dr’s have declared me disabled, so therefore i have applied for SSDI but this process, is very long, and complex. i can’t believe how hard the SSA. makes it. so from the time i have applied, i am 9 mo. before i start receiving any money, i have zero income, i have nothing more to sell, i have already exhausted all the local resources, churches, and local agencies. they all have said, i can’t receive anymore assist. for 1 yr. sorry one place was 4 mo. utility only. and because my being a single male, no dep. child, i am only eligible for some food stamps, praise Jesus for that. Amen                                                    well so, i have zero income, no money for 9 more mo. winter is almost here, and i have no way to pay my way to survive, so i have to some how get enough money to pay my rent, utility’s, propane,car ins. due/jan. and misc. items, soap, hygiene, etc. i have estimated, for the 9 mo. i am looking at min. $6,700.00 then when SSDI starts coming in, then i can pay my way, and hopefully even pay some forward, or whatever i can do. well folks, i have done all i can do, i have no other options. in fact that’s how i found this way, is by searching for a solution, and this was, and is my last option. i am sick, scared, and hoping that, kind people would have mercy on me, and help with a donation of whatever you can so to make the goal that is needed. $6,700.00 and like i said, i will provide proof of my claim, for the offer of a beneficial donation. 

P.S. sorry for the long detailed page, i just wanted you to know the whole deal.  thank you for your time, and God bless

Just Read My Story

Hello World!  Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would find myself reaching out online for money.  I’m sure there are so many other people out there than need this more than myself.  The end of the year is nearing and I have found myself once again not going to meet my goal of having this debt paid.  I started this journey 10 years ago when my husband and I got married.  We have been doing balance transfers on credit cards for 10 years with hopes of paying it off.  When we started we had a balance of around 32,000.  We both had previously been married at a young age and accumulated debt through divorce payoffs and regular debt.  Both of us have full time jobs and gross around 68,000 a year.  It hasnt always been this much though.  When we first got married out combined income was about 52,000.  We do have a home and a car payment.  We are able to save a little money throughout the year.  In the beginning we had set a goal of 500.00 a month for the credit card and was able to stick to it more times then not.  As you well know with life there are always challenges and some months we could only pay 200.00.  Every year when it comes times to do a balance transfer you would have to pay 5% fee to transfer your balance to another card.  This of course just adds more to your balance each time.  For the past couple of years we were finally getting to the point where you could see the light at the end of the tunnel and then BAM something else would pop up.  Our struggle this year happen September 13, 14, 15 etc a whole week. We were involved in Hurricane Florence it came right to North Carolina.  It came in at almost a category 3 hurricane.  The storm was moving so slow that it was here for 3 days. We were out of power for 6 days and out of water for 3 days.  The roads were collapse and we could not leave our home for a week. We both were out of work over a week and a half with no pay.  This of course set us back financially.  We have damage to our home. The wind and rain drove water into our dormers windows and flooded are bonus room and it leaked through the ceiling. Shutters knocked off, shingles gone, water came in through the front door and back doors of the house buckling the wood floors.  We do have insurance and have never had a claim, but we are fighting with insurance to pay for the damage of the home.  They send an adjuster from out of state and they sent us a check for 2,400 to cover all the damage.  We have had some estimates on the home damage since going anywhere from 15,000 to 25,000. This would include a complete roof replacement, fixing the dormers windows, repairing sheetrock in garage ceiling, shutter repair, and hardwood floors replaced, new doors.  Needless to say its a lot of money and insurance is not helping us. We have looked into applying for FEMA, but have had acquaintances that have lost everything and they cant get assistance.  Dont get me wrong my home is still livable.  The reason I am telling my story is because on 12/3/2018 my credit card balance transfer option runs out again and at this time we will have to make another transfer. The goal was to have it paid for by December 31st, but unless some miracle happens that will not be possible. We have worked so hard all this time to get this debt off of us and depending on what insurance final decision is….we will still have to take a loan out to pay to fix our home because we just dont have that kind of money.  I will be making a payment of 800.00 by the end of the month before my balance transfer promo expires. That will leave us with a balance of 3,500.00.  I am not good for asking for help from anyone, but I am asking you now.  Please help us pay off the balance.  When we have to get another loan to fix our home I just want it to be as minimal as possible.  If you only knew me…. I dont even go shopping for clothes, shoes or anything unless I have to have it.  Thankfully I was raised by an older generation that made me appreciate what I have and not think I have to have the best of everything or this story could be a lot worse.  I have no children and I dont know how people this day in time do have children.  I’m always trying to be better I just haven’t caught a break yet.   My life seems to always be a challenge no matter what I do.  I guess in the end it just makes me stronger.  Thanks in advance for your consideration.

Breaking Slowly. :(

My 2018…

I’ve had a handful of good, but far more poor experiences happen to me, and I just don’t see an end in sight. In January, I was made aware of an imperative surgery for work-limited pain stemming from endometriosis and pcos. I was immediately placed on a disability leave from my employer, thinking that the severity would’ve minimized..

Healing took an impractical amount of time, and I soon found out that my long term boyfriend and I had a child on the way-something I never thought possible. Time went by, as I continued my medical leave considering I was “high risk” for carrying a child by my OBGYN. We ended up losing our child on the 12th of April, 2018, right after I, on my own, purchased a suitable home for our growing family. I resumed work, and then found out yet again, that I was expecting.

My credit was impeccable and my paychecks were plentiful and steady, even without off and on FMLA/ADA. I truly try to keep on the sunny side of things, and at the time repressed my loss and thought that this time would be different, and things were going to be fine and stable.

The second time around, I made sure to check off every important thing I could to ensure the healthy development of my child. I ended up resorting to gaining a financially stable roommate, so we could save. About a month later, I was in the same spot, and damaged emotionally from the loss of two human beings. I forgot how to be happy, and two experiences with this was what finally sank my boat. I would stay in bed all but to use the restroom and shower, and I started to hermit from the world minus my roommate and significant other.

My partner and I split, which was hard, as I felt the mourning was much lonelier as a result. Right before the miscarriage, I adopted a service dog, whom I named Kiwi. It was love at first sight. I could not ask for a more polite, intelligent, beautiful, and respectful dog than her, and I knew when I looked in her eyes that we were two peas in a pod. It was hard to adapt to, however, as we went through 12 different brands of dry and wet dog food, eventually discovering that just meal prepping would be financially easier, and always get a star in Kiwi’s book. She was a being that I needed to care after, so I began exercising her, and working towards her optimal health. Without her, I wouldn’t get out of the home, and experience the sun, which is essential in living a happy life.  Her health improved immensely, which was amazing to see a one nugget of tub turn into a fit, energetic dog.

As time progressed, I learned my roommate, an individual I had known for years,  began endangering my safety with bringing some very “off” men over. I woke up one morning, and my couch, table, pots, pans, hamper, etc. were all missing- even the $700 of rent owed to me she was behind. Right as I was ready to show the world how I could kick butt, I felt the rug pulled from underneath me, and I slipped into even deeper of a pit.

I frivolously searched for another suitable candidate, and with background checks, and credit checks, I found what seemed like a suitable couple. A month passed by, and the folks that seemed like amazing roommates, did a complete 180 on me, accusing me of statements that were hurtful to who I stand for as a person, with claims of animal abuse and illegal narcotic dealing.

I love my dog, because she saved my life from pending emotional turmoil, and she gave me a reason to love again. As for the narcotic accusation, I personally just felt targeted, especially since my allergy to narcotics had been spoked of prior around these tenants, when I opened up to them about my miscarriage.

I have promising leads in employment, but now I am at the state where my car battery doesn’t work, and my tires are not in the best condition, and I feel one road block after another taking it’s toll and chipping away at the once cheerful me, and I just want to breathe air again, and feel truly like my odds aren’t stacked, because I am ready to end the hiding, and I’ve accepted my loss this year, and I know that I can succeed again. I WANT to succeed again.

Peyronie’s Disease

I got peyronie’s disease in my early twenties. It has made my life very difficult. For those who don’t know what it is, it’s a disease/syndrome where plaque builds up on the penis, causing it to bend. My bend was like seventy degrees for the first few years I’ve had it, and, when I finally fell in love with the woman of my dreams (I was a virgin), the first time I had sex was obviously very awkward. However, this woman is the most amazing woman on the planet and she told me how great it felt and how she didn’t even notice the curvature (God bless her). . . It is a problem, though. Most of the time sex is painful for both of us, which has been psychologically devastating for me. To make matters worse, while having sex one day I fractured my penis (which is easy to do when your curvature is as extreme as mine is). After going into surgery, my penis healed but the curvature was worse than before. So now we almost never have sex. I struggle with accepting my condition. I know my wife is unhappy and wants to leave. I’m so sad, and that sadness has zapped my will to be a productive member of society. I had so much potential but I’m constantly depressed everyday. I’ve seen a psychiatrist, but I’ve refrained from taking anti-depressants; though I think may soon. I’m sure some people are laughing reading this but my life is very hard. Besides my wife, no one knows how much pain I keep inside. Anyway, I had some hope about a year ago when I learned about Xiaflex, the first FDA approved “treatment” for the disease. I couldn’t afford it but I went to see a specialist urologist in San Francisco, the closest doctor available who had experience using Xiaflex. The treatment works by injecting a plaque-eating agent into the scar tissue on the penis. I had to go back two times for many painful shots into the penis. All of it was to no avail. I put all my hopes into this treatment helping me fix everything but it didn’t. I don’t know what God’s plan is for me but I sure feel lost… I’m writing today because I have medical bills from my failed attempt at treating my peyronie’s disease. It’s about $2,362 I owe, but I’m on a payment plan of $236 each month. I’m now behind two months on my payment plan. I’ll attach the latest bill I have from them. Every bill is a reminder of the failed treatment and how it only made matters worse by adding to my financial troubles so getting rid of this is my number one goal. I never ask for money or help but I don’t know what else to do. I don’t even know if this will work, but I would be extremely grateful for anyone who had extra money to help pay this off.

Sincerely,

Justin Teel

Single mom with URGENT need of a new family vehicle

Hello.  I am the proud mother of two amazing children, a 10 y/o boy and a 5 y/o girl and we have another baby boy due in Feb.  Financially we are getting by the best we can since the children’s father passed away in June of this year, but it’s especially difficult juggling everything alone while approaching last trimester of pregnancy at the same time.  Needless to say, I have a lot on my plate; but never in a million years did I think I would have nowhere to turn aside from asking strangers on the internet for help.

I’m asking for donations or a loan to raise a down payment for a new vehicle for my family. Since the transmission went out in my car last week, I have been unable to work as I drive for Uber, Amazon  and other similar platforms that all require a vehicle… Ideally, having $1000 to put down would allow for more reliable car options, but $500 can definitely get my life back up and running.. and I will be grateful for any assistance someone is willing to offer.  No amount is too small.

If needed, I can commit to repaying some or all of the money raised, if certain circumstances you have only allow for temporary help.  I can pay in increments every 14 days until you receive your entire balance plus some interest.

I am also open and willing if anyone has a vehicle they are willing to donate or possibly  even sell at a price I can afford…or any other offers or ideas.  I am so desperate at this point, I am open to new offers and ideas as well.

 

Whether I am blessed enough to meet my goal, surpass it.. heck, even if I am blessed with a lesser amount than my goal, I will gladly and gratefully accept anything at all that can help in my time of desperation.

God bless!

When life hands you lemons, keep fighting to make lemonade

Hello,

I was diagnosed with  Stage 2 breast cancer not even a month after turning 40 and boy did my confidence take a hit. My breast cancer is hereditary…my mother lost her battle to Stage 4 five days after her 50th birthday. She turned 50 in the ICU so I always made sure to keep up with mammograms and monthly self exams. I discovered a knot in my right breast in September and immediately notified my Gynecologist. I then put off the care of myself due to working and taking care of everyone else. I was not diagnosed until June due to my own negligence. I am now going through Reconstruction, and dealing with depression. I feel like I am being born again similar to the phoenix rising from ashes. I have some medical debt and other financial debt as a result of not working since July. I am requesting any amount of assistance to help me pay down my medical debt ($6000) and other debt ($5000). I have had to make a lifestyle change. Healthier eating, hormone therapy, and physical fitness. This has added up to additional financial obligations and I work in an industry where I am underpaid (foster care system). I still have goals like becoming a first time homeowner. I am in the process of getting back up and walking my path.  If you are reading this, thank you for taking the time to read my story. Be blessed.

A cry for help

MY family is in need if help. We are currently living homeless out of our van. I have a 8, 6, 2 and 1 year old. We recently came to where we are to escape the cold temperatures where we were. It is warmer where we are but can not seem to find and assistance as we are from out of state and not local residents. The streets are hard trying to beg people for help. Im fortunate enough to usually get about 5 dollars a day which is enough for a loaf of bread a can of tuna and a drink to be able to feed my 4 babies. Work has come and go by the means of a few short term temp jobs or gigs. Today was a hard day as i left the kids father on the streets as it was an abusive situation and could not continue to live like this and put these poor babies through it. We are having hard enough times as it is to have to have your kids see their father hit their mother and scream at them and their mother and verbally abuse them and their mother. I had to get my babies away. Problem is we are broke. I am almost out of gas and no food to feed my babies. I just want to go back to where we came from with my babies because i know i can get help there. I am asking for financial assistance so i can feed these babies and get them off the streets and out of the van into a new home. It is a struggle finding work now that i am single and don’t have anyone to babysit while i work. I need to raise as much money for gas and food as i can as quickly as i can so that i can keep these kids safe and get out of this town and on our way before their father finds us. Please i am crying as i write this please someone help us…please i cant continue to live homeless with these babies especially not alone by myself. I do not feel safe. There has to be someone out there that will have a heart and care even just a little. I know everyone cant be helped but my family really desperately needs the help. please someone .. Anyone … Please help me and these kids. Please…please. Please….

The first time I’ve asked for help.

I’ll start from the beginning..

I’ve lived on my own since I was 16 years old. I like to think of my life as “I turned nothing into something”. I started with a crappy old beat up car, a small studio apartment, and a fish named Rojo. I always had this dream though- one day I’ll have a cute little house in the country with a big yard and a few dogs, I’ll commute to the city to work and I’ll have a beautiful office overlooking the city skyline. I worked my way up from lifeguarding at an inner city pool, to waitressing at a small Chinese restaurant, to waitressing at a high end restaurant, to a part time assistant job, to now working as a production manager. I’m hoping to continue to work my way up, build my future, and start to reach those goals I’ve set for myself. I know I have a long way to go, but I’ve come THIS far on my own in my 25 years of life, I know I can go further. I’ve never asked for help, even when I’ve needed it. I’ve slept in cars before, I’ve eaten ramen for a month, I’ve also not eaten for days, but I have always made sure that I don’t give up, I don’t get down on myself, and I always have my own back, but right now I just need a little support. I just got this manager position, but to get here I just worked for a pretty poor wage for 7 months. I’ve stuck it out because I had this position in sight. But here’s the breakdown of what these 7 months have done to me-

I’ve put off therapy because I can no longer afford it, my depression is getting out of control, my nightmares are nightly, and I need to start going back asap. I’d say that’s my top priority.

I’m late on my rent, I’m meeting my landlord today to hopefully explain my situation and get a little wiggle room.

I haven’t made a payment on my car in months, and I’m scared it’s close to repossession. And I know what you’re thinking “why do you have a car loan if you can’t afford it”. Well I got in a pretty bad accident and I had no choice but to take out a loan. Which leads to my next point- my credit is crap and I can’t take out a bank loan.

I need to bring my dog to the vet, it’s not an emergency but he is having skin problems and could use a check up.

Needless to say, I’ve just fallen on hard times. I know it’s only up from here, but any and all help while I’m still working my way up, is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for considering me.

Not Looking To Spend But To Invest

Hello.. My name is Sky Reid Bowen. I’m from a small town called Kanarraville. Which is 20 miles south of where I live now in Cedar City Utah. I’m 30 years old and I work for a small independent distributor for Budweiser. I’ve worked there for almost 7 years. I’ve worked my way up from the warehouse all the way to driver/salesman and lost 100 pounds along the way. I’ve worked hard like that all my life trying to ” live the dream..” But as of lately I can’t even pay my own bills. My fiance’ has had to help me just so we can survive. I’ve made some mistakes along to way in life by picking the wrong girls. But they gave me my kids and I can’t hate them completely for that. Having that said though they’ve taken my kids from me and then turned me in to ORS for child support. The one mom had not turned me in until 3 months ago or so and my son with her is 8 but my little girl with her mom I’ve been paying on and she is 3. Now Idk if you guys have experience with them but they don’t care about your extra bills they just care about your pay stub. So that’s definitely a problem for me. Now I’m not trying to spin a story just about child support because that’s not what this is about. This is about me and trying to ask for a miracle. I never ask ANYONE for anything not even my parents. I have been independent since I was 19 years old and have never had to move back home. I’m just trying to start a new life! Wipe the slate clean! Have nice things eventually and build my own empire. I’ve tried on my own by buying a house, a new truck, staying on top of bills, and everything else. But between my exes and my fiaces divorce we are going to struggle for a long time and who knows if we will make it or not. I’ve struggled pretty much since I left home and ya I’ve made it work with dead end jobs and bouncing around for a while. Then finding Budweiser and trying that way. I even went up to North Dakota in 2011 for the winter to chase money up there and take a swing at being my own boss. Trying to better myself and my families situation. But always someone somewhere has to ruin it for me. All I’m trying to do is live my life and try and better myself. So that is why I am taking my last resort and swallowing my pride. Putting down my helmet, shield, and sword and as a king taking a knee. To plead with someone out there that if anyone deserves help its us. I mean even my fiance’ she works so hard.. She went to college to be a nurse and graduated. She works three 14 hour shifts minimum but that still only pays our bills. We have no money to save because everyone else is taking it all. We need a fresh start and not by running away or giving up our rights.. We need some people or an individual to believe in US. And think of this as an investment in someone who WILL do something with this money. Who WILL build and empire. So enough beating around the bush.. We need $500,000.00. Now I know that’s a lot to ask but hear me out. $250,000.00 goes to all our debt that we owe including our house. Then $20,000 goes to our online business www.toughnursemanufacturing.com. and the remaining $230,000.00 goes to our relestate company that we want to get going. It’s like I said I’m not looking for a handout. I’m looking for a new start and for someone out there that believes in doing something amazing. You wouldn’t only be doing us some good you would be blessing 7 little lives as well and one on the way. With the jobs that we are in we don’t know if we will even have enough money to have my fiance stay home for the first month of our new babies life.. We have a big family and that was our choice but we love it and we are constantly busy. But I’m tired of being tired. Please if there is someone out there listening please help us with our dream so that one day we can do the same for someone else! Pay it forward and I can promise you I will be that man.

Need to complete my rent

HI! So this is gonna be a bit of a long explanation but bear with me. I recently lost my job a couple weeks ago and I had a friend move in with me. She was being evicted from her apartment and my current roomate and I thought it would be a great idea to have her move in and help make rent for the following week. SO, we make rent and everything is going well. I start working doing Wag! so i haven’t missed any bills yet and made my piece of the rent. Our full rent is $1500 so each of us would pay $500. Fast forward a couple weeks and my friend that moved in hasn’t been around in weeks, she was staying with her boyfriend and his mom, which okay cool like no ones gonna get on you for not coming home. BUT she hits me with the “I’m not gonna be able to make rent” the week OF RENT. This week has been the worst week ever because I came down with a really bad cold last Tuesday and on Tuesday and Wednesdays is usually when walks are more available on the app but I wasn’t too worried because I had already made my part of rent. But now I have to come up with her half which is $500. My roomate pitched in too. SO on Thursday my roomate had a Halloween party planned and was here by default so I dressed up and joined the party still kind of dying from the cold. Nonetheless it was a good time, most of our friends didn’t show up because of the really bad rain but an ex-coworker of my boyfriend (2 years) shows up. Ok cool, no biggie he invited her and told her she could bring 2-3 people but she shows up with 7. I didn’t think it was a big deal and everyone had a good time. At the end of the night when my friends are asking for me to open the gate for uber, which i do so with my phone, my phone is nowhere to be found. I’m trying to look for my phone everywhere panting because I was trying to move quick and I was really short of breath those couple of days. So my boyfriend tells me to go to sleep and that he’ll take care of having the place locked up after everyone leaves. The next day I still can’t find my phone and he tells me his co-worker got sloppy drunk and that the people she came with left her because they didn’t want to babysit. He told me that when they were trying to sober her up in the balcony smoking a cig, that she mentions to him that the people she brought were planning to pickpocket that night. WHAT THE F%$#! I haven’t been able to work for days because I have no money to replace my phone and that was my only real source of work. I’m in desperate need of $200 I already managed to get my friend to pay me the $250 since she left us hanging dry and today is the last day to pay. My boyfriend has already agreed to pay to replace my phone but he gets paid bi-weekly so I have to wait another two weeks to start on Wag! again. And yes I have applied to real jobs but my phone was taken so I have no idea if any of them have called back and I am just in the worst situation right now. Thank you for you time in reading this and I hope someone out there can help.

Hello, let me say first and foremost I was totally taken back when I found this website. Not sure if this will work or not, but at this point I don’t have much choice in at least trying.

2 years ago I dropped everything to go care for my mother, I’ve been her primary caregiver ever since. I am single, 1 child currently a struggling college student, so I didn’t have to worry about a spouse involved or anything.

Sibling wise there is myself, my sister, and 1 brother who died long ago. My mother never remarried after my father cut out on us when i was 5 years old.

Her siblings are pretty much up in age just like she is and or passed, so it was pretty much up to me or my sister and she is on disability with Lupus and Fibromyalgia as well as lives out of state.

I am doing my best to keep my mother out of a facility etc. She is scared to death of going to one, so I’m just trying to keep her at home.

When I arrived we moved into a better place than the one she was staying in, but over time i have depleted all of my savings and pretty much month to month now. Recently some extra things came up and the next thing I knew we got behind on bills.

I was not able to get the rent in on time this month and they will serve papers on the 15th of Nov. By then the total would be around $1500 with the late fee’s going up $10 per day. Once they serve papers then court fees ad an additional $200.

$1500 would take care of this months rent and I just got great news from my sister.  I have finally convinced her to move in here with us and help the best she can, but she can’t make it until after the 1st of the year in 2019.

Once she is here I can go back into the work force because she can be here to help care for my mother throughout the day time.

I had a colonoscopy and other tests recently and hoping for a good report, my hope is that it’s just stress that has my digestive system off track and other symptoms I’ve been experiencing.

Well as Tony Robbins teaches, “Everybody has a story”, and that’s my life/story for now. Whatever you can contribute we give much gratitude for, thank you.

I need help, cast out of a union apprenticeship for standing up for the very right they said I had.

I moved down to Richmond VA from NY to start my life over fresh. I had a dream of owning a home and having a family with a nice southern woman. I’ve been here two years, and Im at the point of giving up for good. I’m 36 years old, I moved away from friends and family to attain my dream. From what I’ve been through here that doesn’t even seem possible. It took me nine months to find work. I have two degrees in Computer Networking, and Liberal Arts, yet when I started to look for work I was turned away from everything I looked for. Finally I got a call from an apprenticeship program, and put my all into that. I had worked in construction as a teen so I knew what I was doing. I immediately set out to producing twice wht I was asked, I was determined to make it no matter what. After establishing that I was an exceptional worker I learned everything I could. The company constantly told me how good I was and how they appreciated it. But, after 15 months of killing myself I accidentally hurt myself on the job. The short story is that because I didn’t do what they said, which was man up and not go to the doctor, I was immediately made the example of. As things got worse and people at work started committing crimes against me I tried to take action and get help from the union. This made things worse and Everytime I went higher up the chain  the retaliation I had to endure increased exponentially. Somehow working for one of the largest companies in America I was literally laid off because I was trying to file harassment charges. I say try because everyone came together to get rid of me “the problem” and not actually follow the law, which would have been to deal with the harassers.  I tried everything I could think of to stand up for myself and everyone else who this was done to in the past and will in the future. Lawyer’s wouldn’t help me because I couldn’t afford their prices. Which is absurd because no one can stand up for themselves when billion dollar companies spit on your rights. I personally think that the rich in this area are probably very close to knowing everyone who is also rich. So trying to stand up for yourself when all they have to do is go to church or to the country club, and put the word out to their friends, Is almost impossible. I know if I came across the right person I would definitely have been helped, and would not be in this position. I prayed for six months straight for God’s help. And, I still am.  I know I was made an example of. The fact that they got away with breaking so many laws in my case, is unbelievable. I have photos, video, texts, that prove what I am saying, but here I am. Begging for money, literally on my knees for all the internet to see! But I still have faith. I know God will help me through this. He has always helped me through the tough times, about 30 so far. 7 were my fault, the rest weren’t. I’m at a point in life trying to find a reason to continue. I have been through almost every conceivable trial life has. I’m still standing. But, their comes a point where I really have to wonder what’s the point of continuing. To see what else I can ensure. How high I can build my pain threshold?

Currently, I just moved in to an apartment that I could barely afford before I got laid off and then terminated. I had no choice, I had no other option so I took it. My total bills are $975 for my apartment, $210 after insurance for my medicine, $200 for my car, $150 loan payment that I had to get just to be able to afford moving, I’m $28,000 in student loan debt, and I, have an $800 dollar hospital bill that just went into collection. All this right after I just got my credit score up to 720 FICO, And I did that in about 15 months from now credit. I’m on the verge of loosing my mind. I can’t believe that people who are supposed to protect your rights turn on you and destroy your life because someone with money said so.

I don’t know how much to ask for ,I think I put most of my financial trouble there. Eating costs money too. I’ve got no family to turn to, no friends down here. I really really need your help, please.

Struggling To Make it after Health Problems

Hi,

I’m Robert and I am 28 years old. I am currently struggling to get by after being put on a medical leave of absence from my employer as ordered by my Doctor. I am a type 2 diabetic who is suffering from nephropathy in my feet, as well as retinopathy which has affected my vision. I haven’t been able to work since May 9th 2018 as that day I was sent home from my employer after my leg and foot was swollen badly. After making a trip to the hospital it was discovered I had a diabetic ulcer on  my left foot, on my big toe. At first I wasn’t that worried about it as this has happened before, but upon further reviewing and x-rays it was then discovered that the ulcer had started to cause infection inside of my skin tissue almost up to the bone. I was then referred to a podiatrist to take over the care of my foot & at that point I was diagnosed with degenerative bone disease, which affects my joints causing my toes not to bend properly, thus causing excruciating pressure on my toes with every step I take. Shortly after I began treatment on my left foot I had began to get an ulcer on my right foot as well. I have applied for disability but am still awaiting a determination from Social Security on that matter. I am so far behind on bills that it is depressing, I had lost my health insurance due to not being able to work and with Dr’s appoints weekly, and some being out of town, it is extremely hard to get the funds for the Dr’s fees, and fuel/ transportation costs to get to these appointments. Every little bit of a donation could help.

Thank you in advance and my God bless you.

Help A Girl Achieve Her Dream

Hi! My name is Talandria Jackson. I’m currently 15yrs old(16 On December 19th). I know you’re probably wondering why someone as young as me is on here. Well let me tell you. My anemia has gotten severe to the point that my doctor has informed me that I need iron therapy. The costs for Intravenous(IV) Iron Therapy is currently $230 for each dose. My doctor has told us due to the severity of my anemia, that I will require 3 doses. That’s a total of $690. Side effects of my anemia includes random chest pains and constant exhaustion. Anything is greatly appreciated. My mother currently is a single parent of 4 kids and supports both of my older sisters while they’re in college. I’m a student that doesn’t bother anyone and makes a’s and b’s. One thing I want to do is join a few extracurriculars without putting further burden on her. I love playing the trombone and cooking. My school currently offers band and FCCLA. Our band participates in football games, parades, and concerts. While FCCLA participates in culinary competitions. FCCLA presents great opportunities to network. They also both offer great benefits such as full scholarships to college and great exposure. To join FCCLA there is a $20 fee and a Fee of $100 for things such as blazers and fees to pay for our upcoming competitions. With band there are numerous fees. That includes: $40 for 4 band shirts(Each Shirt Costs $10 And Is Worn During Football Season When It Is Too Hot To Wear Our Full Uniform), $80 for band warm ups, $100 for uniforms, $40 for shoes, $50 for band camp, and $5000 for our upcoming band trips to California and Toronto(Goes toward airfare, transportation, gas, food, and hotel room fees).  The total add ups to $5430. Anything is greatly appreciated. I currently don’t have a bank account nor a paypal since I’m not old enough to have one as of yet. The best way to donate would be with cashapp or a check by mail that my mother will deposit into a personal bank account for me, when she opens it. My cashapp is $babydollt21. My address will be given when you email me about wanting to mail a check. Also emails me with any questions and concerns, I’ll be happy to answer. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy days to read my story. Even if you don’t donate thank you for listening anyways. Thank you and have a great day!

Need to pay rent after roommate left in the middle of the night

I am in a dire situation after having one roommate tragically killed on his motorcycle last week and having the other one decide to leave in the night due to an inability to pay rent. Now I am left shouldering the entire balance of rent which is now past due. I work full time as a cook trying to make ends meet while living in the extraordinarily expensive California Bay Area.
I pride myself on my work ethic and independence. I have never been in a situation like this before and am now desperate to make rent so that I do not end up homeless without the financial means to find a new apartment to rent, not to mention how difficult it would be to find a new living situation with an eviction on my record.
I am currently short 2000 dollars as I went ahead and paid the other household bills (power, water, garbage, internet, renters insurance) believing that my flighty roommate would be paying the majority of rent while I covered household bills and the remainder of rent. To have one roommate pass away tragically and the other leave and disappear within the span of a week is devastating to me. I am working as many hours as I can and have offered to pick up co-workers shifts but that does not provide me with the money I need right now. I am genuinely afraid that I will be living in my car with my 2 cats soon with no other options. I do not have any family to ask for help, nor do I have friends who make enough money to help me out even short term as living in the bay is so cutthroat. I do not own anything of significant value to sell( not even my car, it is a salvage title 97 carolla) and have exhausted all my options. If anyone is willing to help I would be grateful and willing to work out a repayment option if you so desire.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my request.

24 year old woman needs 200$ ASAP

Hello I hope everyone who is reading this is having a nice day ! I am a 24 year old woman born and raised in Alabama and last month on October the 3rd i was rushed to the hospital because of stomach pain. I had never experienced pain like that before and after the doctor did numerous tests they discovered that one of my ovaries was twisted around and it had a large cyst on it. The cyst was pressing on my digestive tract and it was the source of my pain. Im very glad to tell you that I am not dying or anything like that i just need to heal this part of my body I hope to do so without future surgery .

While i do have insurance because of my parents I do not have the money to buy the medicine i need  for my body to heal properly. I am currently seeking employment but i have not had any luck so i have chosen to start selling stuff on Ebay.  It makes me happy that i can sell things but truthfully speaking business has been VERY slow on my ebay page i only sold 1 item last week. I am trying to stay positive and keep trying though i don’t know much about business but i know its good to be persistent.

This week i have made it my goal to get this money so that is why i am here today simply asking for help anything you give will be greatly appreciated by me because i know that no one is obligated to do anything for me so just know every penny you donate I am truly grateful for and it is helping me to become a healthier person.

The picture you see is me last month at the E.R im sorry that i look so miserable and rough but i just want to show my face so that you can know who i am . The picture on the right is me on a better day . Thank you so much for your support I hope you have an awesome day ^_^

My life is upside down since my mother passed away.

My mother was diagnosed with Dementia in 2005. She was 80 years old. Her health & mind started deteriorating horrifically in 2010 so I changed careers in order to be with her every day during the last 5 years of her life. It was a long, heartbreaking 5 years but I’m an only child & the only one who could be there for her. I don’t regret 1 single day, even though it took a toll on my life & heart. When she passed in 2015, I did everything I could to keep my family home. But I was in for a big surprise! She had taken loans out on EVERYTHING! Including her life insurance policy & her home. I barely had enough money to pay for her cremation, which she had requested. Thank God she was being buried in Ft. Benning, GA with my daddy! I was going to just sell the house because I couldn’t afford to pay for my own home & hers too (because of the loan) but then an old friend of hers needed a place to stay. I agreed to let him rent the home & everything was fine for a year & 1/2. Then he started being late on the rent, then not making the rent at all & disappeared in the middle of the night! I was left with 2 months of rent to pay towards the loan plus he stole her scooter (or sold it) along with a lot of other things. After that, I was done. I couldn’t afford to keep pouring more money into the house/loan. But then I met a very sweet handicapped couple who needed a place to live. Yes, my heart is way too big sometimes. But I believe God will bless me for it in the end. Unfortunately, the past year has not been a blessing. I’ve had to replace the air conditioning in the house & the plumbing. Every time I turn around something is broken. So I’m still paying on the loan, still paying homeowner’s insurance & property taxes on that house & have dug myself into the biggest hole I could imagine. My credit score has gone from 799 to 699 in the last 3 years. My credit cards are maxed out & now my own home is falling apart! (I live in a 21 year old mobile home) My own health is not as good as it was 3 years ago as I suffer from Discoid Lupus & chronic migraines. But I am still working 40+ hours a week trying to stay above water. Sometimes, I can’t afford groceries, or paying all of my bills on time. I’ve never had to live this way & I don’t know what to do anymore so yes, I need a huge miracle. I don’t want to lose my own home & I can’t afford to fix it. Please, whatever anyone can afford is appreciated! I don’t even want to put a price here that would get me completely out of debt because it would sound unreal. But, believe me when I say, it’s definitely real! So thank you in advance & God bless you all.

I just need $10

So, I’ll just be straight honest with whoever you are, that may be reading this. I’m not dying, sick, or anything. I’m not in any situational trouble. The other people on here are likely more in need than I am. But, in case you’re just feeling like helping someone out, I’d greatly appreciate it.

Recently, my long distance girlfriend got into a spot of trouble, a large amount of money was taken from her. She and I game together everyday, but this recent event has caused her to have to cut off her gaming with me.

Essentially, I need $10 to get her gaming membership back so we can spend time laughing and playing together again.

You might ask why I can’t go out and get $10 myself or why I can’t just go mow a lawn or whatever. Well, I lost my job a while back because the place I was working for closed down. I suffer from bad anxiety and am just in a bad spot regarding my health. I’ve tried doing online work, but I always end up running into dead ends or work that isn’t worth the time. I’ve tried doing Amazon Mechanical Turk jobs, doing those stupid surveys to no avail. This wasn’t my first stop. Trust me. I am not looking for pity or anything. Just $10. That is all I need. Would you help me out?

If you do… thank you so much. I understand, though, if you decide to ignore this and give to someone who is in more need than I. I totally understand. If that is the case, thank you for at least taking the time to read this.

Help with climbing out of hole

Hi, I’m asking for help to climb out of my financial hole. I call it a whole because my hardships have caused me to dig myself deeper and deeper into financial lockdown. Not only have I lost my only car my dad didnt help me get,but I’m also jobless due to consistent abdominal issues and kidney stones.  About two years ago my father became very ill,and without second thought I became his caretaker. I’m glad this happened because it gave us both a chance to rekindle our relationship . But sadly he passed. And I prayed to him and asked him to help me with a job and 2 days later I landed my highest paying job yet. That allowed me to get my reliable car that was later repossessed,put my son in sports to watch his health do much better but now gotten worse  ( he has high cholesterol) and just really live life after losing my dad. Then my health plummeted, and I missed work and then later was laid off. With so much debt my savings went to car payments ,car insurance, health insurance,  life insurance, helping my mom with her own bills, and just living life with my son. All that stopped. Car got repossessed,  so now no car. I walk everywhere .and at times I’m bedridden because of my  belly pains so my son misses school. School functions stopped, etx. I’m praying after many web searches online that this is my saving grace.  I need financial help with not only my medical Bill’s, but I now need a car again, money to fix my credit card that I fell back on, and now my bank closed my savings and checking due to a crazy negative balance.  Now my family takes advantage of me not working and looks down on me as the person who has to do everything for them because I’m no longer bringing in money. I just need a leg up and I’d be able to go interviews with jobs I can work from home from, take my son to school and sports and get back on the up and ups. And become independent again. Show shows family im not a disappointment, and just because my sick doesn’t define what I cant do. A miracle would be to also secure a home for us. I’ve applied for assistance and only my son gets food assistance.  Which I’m thankful for. And health insurance.  Anything will be appreciated and furthermore a huge blessing. Thanks in advance .xo

Financing Medical School

Hello my name is Shanice and I am 23 years old. I was recently accepted into medical school which was one of the most exciting times of my life, however, this whole process has been extremely costly and stressful. I applied to 10 schools and attended multiple interviews which has taken a major toll on my finances. Application fees, cost of travel, and cost of lodging for interviews have left me in a state where I can barely pay rent. I am struggling to pay off my credit card which I ended up maxing out to afford medical applications and the cost of traveling to interviews. I must now pay off 3000 dollars of credit card debt in addition to paying a nonrefundable acceptance deposit of 1000 dollars by December 14 and and 700 by March. I am already working full time as a behavioral therapist, tutoring students after work, ubering during my spare time and have recently turned to filling out online surveys to make additional money.  I cancelled my health insurance in order to cut down on bills and I do not know what else to do.  I plan to take out loans, and apply for scholarships to fund tuition. However, I will not be able to access these funds until the start of the 2019 school year. The cost of wanting to care for others is overly expensive but I couldn’t imagine doing anything else. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and if you would like to find out more about me and my situation please don’t hesitate to email me.

Swallowing My Pride. Asking for Help with this Month’s Rent

Hello,

I am in a rough spot this month.  I was about to give up, but did the smart thing and called my brother.  He talked some sense back into me, and I started a search on the internet for help.  I came across this site.  I had two jobs and lost one (with Amazon).  I have no family except for my brother, and he’s got a child and is struggling to make ends meet.  I am going to pursue job leads tomorrow, and do day labor if I need to.  My problem is immediate with rent and various bills due in the next week.  I have a roommate and my half of the rent is $850 (Denver is outrageous for apartment rent).  My storage unit rent (which I am going to sell off to pay bills as soon as I pay the rent this month) is $110.  Other various bills (food, power, etc) come to around $220 to get me to the mid point of this month (November).  I am willing to accept anything that is offered.  I will repay the money if you like, as long as I can make small payments until I get back on my feet.  If you won’t accept repayment, I would like to keep in contact with you in some way, because I would like to pay it forward at some point on this site, as was done for me.  I’d like to send you a message when I’m able to, so you know you’ve not only helped me, but I’ve helped someone else in repayment of your kindness.

For those that have read this far, thank you.  I’d like to give you a quick list of my plans so this never happens again.  First, I’m going to get my GED.  I dropped out of high school my senior year because I lost my parents and needed to work.  I’m tired of that holding me back, and I’m going to get my GED as soon as possible.  Once I have that, there is a job hiring here (a manufacturing job) that pays very well and offers lots of overtime.  The day after I finish the last GED test (it’s five parts, I believe, each one just under $40, so I’ll have to save a bit) I’m going to apply for the manufacturing job.  I just want to have a solid single job that has benefits, pays well and is an established company.  I’d like to help my brother with his daughter, and help myself by paying off old debt, as well.

I apologize for the long post.  I wanted to give as much background as possible, though.  I’m not even sure that this site is a real thing.  I never expected this to even exist.  I’d like to update the person helping me so that they know their money was not wasted.  I was in tears just hours ago, but now realize that I have to get to work.  Self pity will not help, neither will pride.  I refuse to wallow in pity, and have gotten rid of my pride preventing me from asking for help.

I need help.  Anything  helps.  I will pay it forward.  Thanks for your time.

William

P.S. I’m not a computer wiz.  I can send links to my rent page, and can take pictures of other bills on my phone and transfer it to my computer via USB, if anyone desires.  I can figure those out, I’m pretty sure. **Edit** I found a rent card that I used to get (before I switched to just email bills).  I posted it, and it’s similar to my current rent, even though it’s an older bill.

Lost job. Got A New Job. Unable To Pay Bills And Gas For New Job.

I lost my job, but got a new one a few days ago. I don’t have enough money to pay for my car insurance, gas, uniforms, food and rent. My new job pays biweekly. It will be another 3 weeks before I get paid. I tried donating plasma yesterday, but there was a mass over my liver, so they wouldn’t let me do it. I have a picture of the paperwork of them declining me. For some reason I can only post two pictures on here. I’ve been trying to sell stuff I don’t need on ebay, but no one is buying anything. I would greatly appreciate it if someone would help me out and I will return the favor when I get back on my feet. Thank you.

Being An Adult Is Hard They Said

I want to start this out by simply saying “This Sucks”. I’m currently 19 years old, October 18th was my birthday and to look back at the past year, to see where I’ve gone, and where I am. It’s a miracle. Let me explain more in depth. Let me introduce myself properly first; Im Austin, I’m 19 and I’m pretty darn broke. See,  When I turned 18 it was like the “Adulting is hard” thing parents say to you when you’re in elementary school, is 100% facts in this story. My sister ended up almost passing away, due to a Tumor in her Adrenal Gland about a month after my birthday. Thank goodness she’s okay today, don’t worry, no deaths. But she is still struggling to eat properly due to her CVS as well (Ciliac Vomiting Disease). Thank goodness she Ends up surviving! (Jesus wouldn’t take away my best friend like that anyways, he heard my prayers trust me!). About a month later my father finds out his wife’s cheating on him. We live in her house, so ultimately, you know how it goes… homeless. Living in my car, or in a hotel for one night, until finally he saves enough money to get an apartment. I end up having to sign off because he has priors and can’t apply. Then about a month later I end up getting hit by a semi-truck, totaling my vehicle, hurting my back significantly in the process. I get a 5000 dollar check which I spend to drop my fathers probation (2500) and get a new car (2500). Now my father is my best friend. My Ace. My number one go to guy. He loves me more than the world could ever know to love anybody…. but everything went south.

 

I go to see my mother in South Carolina because I hadn’t seen her in quite a while. I’m there for 3 days. I come home and my dad looks incredibly sad, he’s finally realized that his wife of 8 years had done him wrong, and he’s not gonna be with his kids everyday. She’s now living with the guy she cheated on him with, and his 3 daughters. While my fathers feeling lower than my Credit Score. He goes out drinking, tells me, and I know it’s over. I know him too well. He’s gone. That’s it.

 

 

Fast forward to now. My Father is Incarcerated for 54 months. Remember my car I bought? He sold it for dope. Remember that apartment? Its now in my hands. He got back on drugs, ended up bringing it into the house, selling it. Everyone I tried to get to help him, ended up getting back on it with him. I was left on the back burner. I couldn’t talk to him, he would be tweaked out pretty bad. I didn’t see my family for the last 6 months. I wouldn’t let my girlfriend (stuck by my side through all of this, so you already know god handpicked this beauty just for me) come see me, due to the drugs and guns and violence going on in my house. I couldn’t sleep for weeks. I would stay up all night while people came in and out, in and out. I had random people stay at my house, different every week. It was rough.

 

God has a plan for me, he knows exactly what to put me through, exactly how strong I am, and exactly what I can take. I love my father to death, I talk to him everyday and even though he might not of shown me love, I still know he loves me to death and would never do that to me if his addiction wasn’t as bad as it is. But it’s a part of life. Adulting hit me hard, I’m now bombarded with bills on bills on bills. Just trying to make ends meet. My rent is 1250 a month. Outrageous and my landlords are terrible due to me being such a young age. I pay electric, water, sewage, insurance, rent, I work 4 jobs. One of which is full time. And the other 4 I work on my days off. When my father was arrested, I was left with 3 days to either get evicted, or save my home that had the worst stories ever remembered…. I saved the house. Got roommates, and am now living in debt to creditors and I can’t seem to get on top. Please if you take one thing from this post, remember this; my life wasn’t bad, it didn’t suck, it might’ve been rough, yes. But it’s what god set my plan to look like. I follow the blueprint, and learn as I go. I learned forgiveness, I learned strength. I learned to be wiser through the hardships and never dwell on the past but use it as fuel for my future. My father is my Best-friend, I’m still his ace, and I’m still his right hand man. All his drug buddies, (including one important female) ? Left him right when he got arrested. Never put money on the phone, never visited. Nothing. His ex wife doesn’t usually bring the kids to see him. But you know who does show up? You know who brings the kids to see him? That’s right. Remember to always love people no matter where they are *1Peter 4:8* as it’s written on my forearm. Oh, and as well ALWAYS FORGIVE. No matter what! You can’t possibly live 100% happy if you hold on to the past ones that hurt you. All I’m looking for is a little financial bump, a little head ahead of the game. I’m trying to simplify my finances, and for some reason it’s come to this. I apologize to anyone who I might’ve offended while writing this, this was my year. The year I turned an adult. It would mean a lot if you could just give whatever possible. It doesn’t really matter. As long as you can move along the message that life is only what you make of it, then that’s all I’m here for. Thank you for reading, and God Bless.

Please Help Me

Hello, my name is Don, I’m 26 years old and I currently live in Miramar Florida. Upon arriving here I was given an opportunity to work for a construction company called Downrite Engineering. The guy who offered the job was my stepdad. He and my mom had been separated for 5 years and he constantly urged me to have my mother move from Orlando Florida To Miami Florida So That They Can Be Together Again; But my mother refused and declined his offer. My stepdad offered me a job and I had been working since April 1st, 2018 For 6 Months But My employment Came to an abrupt end When my stepdad began Calling Me Slurs, And Disgusting Names. He Even cursed at my mother in front of me. I Believe that the Situation he caused started to get to him so he would threaten me Almost Everyday On The job. And coworkers would Pull me to the side to tell me that he’d say bad things about me and my family. Eventually I found an Efficiency To Move Into But my stepdad ended up firing me and telling me to go back to Orlando; which i thought was highly inconsiderate because he told me he’d help me find a good job and he’d offer me a place to live. So I accepted his offer without knowing he plotted on using me to get to my mother. Now, I’m Without a job and I can’t afford to pay $700.00. I Was Let Go Of My Job In September And immediately I told my landlord that I lost my job. They gave me 1 extra month but now it’s Almost 3 Months I Haven’t Paid. I’m Scared Because I’m subject to becoming homeless. I Continue To Respect And Forgive People Like That Because We Need kindness And Support From Each Other. United we stand but divided we fall. I Really Need Support At The Moment To Pay Rent And Bills. I’ve Spent All My Money Paying my stepdad for rent ($500), Plus WiFi ($60), Groceries ($100) And Cleaning Supplies ($100) These are the prices he gave to me for his house. The only reason I submitted to his offer because I thought I saw a man of integrity and respect that I could look up to But Instead he was a wolf in sheeps disguise. If There is anyone who can help me please Find It In Your Heart To give Me A Boost.

Help! Brain Injury from sleeping driver lead to medical AND legal fees

In May 2017, I was struck by a driver who fell asleep at the wheel. I suffered a severe head injury and still have days I do not remember. Three days after the accident I accidentally entered my neighbor’s unlocked house (caul-de-sac where all houses look similar). I ended up suffering a seizure related to the head injury while there and broke a plastic and glass shelving unit that was worth $30 (which I remorsefully offered to pay for after I had learned of the incident upon my release from the hospital).

Although I did not take ANYTHING, including apparently $20,000 in cash sitting in a bank envelope on the kitchen counter, the local overly-ambitious county prosecutor has charged me with Felony Burglary and I am facing 10-years in prison, the loss of custody of my child, and a $20,000 fine (along with my life)!

It sounds hard to believe considering I have never done anything wrong in my life aside from a speeding ticket but said prosecutor is also handing out 1 year of probation for traffic violations.

I was denied a public defender but have tens of thousand in debt from a divorce and am forced to hire an attorney for $15,000 (more is it goes to trial), or take my chances with my life. All over a confused, non-forced entry into a neighbor’s home with no ill intent and no recollection.

My first hearing is very soon (11/21/18) and I do not know what I am going to do. I have given medical records from neurologist, ER visits, Ambulance, etc to the prosecutor and, again, although nothing was taken, he does not seem to care. I really need your help.

Please. I am a single dad who has lived a moral life and always helped others.

Please consider donating.

Mother of Twins/Anything Helps

Hello, my name is Rachael. I am a mother of 4-year old twins (boy/girl). I recently had to leave my full time job due to unforeseen health issues. Not something I was expecting at all. I have suffered from post partumn depression since the birth of my twins and only realized it almost 2 years after. I have been in therapy on and off for the last 2 years but my depression and anxiety are really affecting how I work and my quality of work. Also, my job became much more stressful when the Vice President stepped down and the majority of his work was pushed onto me. The added stress on top of my home life made my health deteriorate rapidly. I was able to find a part-time job (15 hours a week), but this is not even half of what I was making before. My kids are in ETK every day of the week, but recently my daughter has been having problems and has only been allowed to stay half day at school. I understand that the problems she’s having are due to the lack of parenting from me in the beginning of her life. I am now trying to find ways to stop those behaviors as well as having her go to a therapist. Unfortunately she will not be able to be seen until January because that is the soonest appointment. This has caused major issues for me and I now am working even less because I have to go and pick her up earlier than the scheduled time. I have a great amount of experience in customer service and logistics. I have worked for various trucking companies over the last 10 years and have an extensive knowledge of transportation and special accounts. I have been recently trying to find remote work like virtual assisting or email customer service or anything from babysitting to dog walking. Whatever will help me to pay the bills. I need a lot of help paying the bills. Specifically right now I’m trying to find money for my car payment. It’s $301 a month. Without a car I can’t get to work or get the kids to school. I’m trying to do the very best I can but it’s getting harder and harder the more time goes on. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and for reading.

English Gal Needs Help Replacing Her Green card

First of all, thank you for reading my story. Asking for a handout is new to me and I’m still not too comfortable doing it but I am out of options at this point.

I moved to the US from England with my family when I was just a little girl and I have a green card.  I need this card to pretty much do anything as I have discovered. Recently, a series of unfortunate events has forced me to move out of the house I was renting and I am now sleeping on a friends couch.  During this move my green card disappeared. I was trying to get back into the job market after taking some time off since injuring my back. (I have racked up 3 surgeries on it so far) but without having my green card in hand, getting hired is not an option.  Any state benefits require to see that card as well. I discovered this when I got humble enough to apply for food stamps last month. So I am at rock bottom. At least I hope this is rock bottom. It costs $545 dollars to replace the card. I just renewed it 3 years ago  ( they are valid for 10 years) but renew or replace, it’s all the same to the department of immigration. It costs $545 no matter what. I really want to get life back on track but this green card issue is stopping me from accomplishing anything. I don’t want to sound like a sob story as I know there are a lot more people worse off than I am. I am a fairly able bodied person and I want to get back to work (and possibly food stamps until my bank account replenishes) ASAP but I need your help to get there. Thank you for reading my story and if your generosity enables you to donate, thank you so much for helping me clear this obstacle. I know when I get the opportunity I will pay it forward to someone who needs help.

Enhancing My Certification To Help Mothers and Babies in need

I am asking for help to fund my certification to become an international board lactation consultant and to fund the last class that will make me eligible to test. I need a total of 1000 and if i am to test this year i have to have this done in a couple of weeks or I can test next year. the sooner the better i can reach out and help mothers and babies in need because the maternal and infant mortality risk is at an all time high in United States and especially for African-American mothers and babies. A little bit about myself:

I am a mother of 7 children and I first became interested in breastfeeding in 1999 at 19 years old while pregnant with my first child. I am African-American and I never seen anyone breastfeed and my mother didn’t breastfeed but I was determined to breastfeed despite many challenges I faced. I successfully breastfed my first child exclusively for a year. This continued with each one of my children until I weaned my last two, twins.  After weaning my twins in 2012, I realized I wanted to get involved and help other moms like myself receive breastfeeding education and support. I began to volunteer with the Shelby County Breastfeeding Coalition in Memphis, TN reaching out to expecting women in the poorest of communities and using my story to encourage them to do the best for their child. I then became elected to the board of directors at the SCBC in charge of organizing outreach. While I continued to do that, I became a certified lactation counselor and then volunteered at Memphis largest urban hospital, Regional One Medical Center while they were in the process of going baby-friendly. I worked under  the RN IBCLC’s and helped moms in labor and delivery and in the NICU breastfeed, set up pumps and answered questions. This was all volunteer work with no pay. I currently work as a doula and lactation educator  after recently moving to my home state of Illinois. My goal is to become an IBCLC and start my own business to help expectant mothers with the most need. Please donate. Thank you for your time.

Last resort please help us

We are really at our last resort asking anyone for money.
But,we need $3000.
This year has been more then we can really handle, terrible three things have left us broke and stranded without a vehicle in the boondocks where we have a small
farm .
I am 55 and my husband Steve is 58 we live in Goodman, Missouri,it is a small town about 30 miles south of Joplin.
I have duck’s, chickens, rooster’s, cow’s sheep,and goats, turkeys.
We really need a vehicle to buy feed and hay for our animals..
We just haven’t had any luck this year.
Summer time we sale and donate veggies to homeless shelters in Joplin ,Water Gardens,and in Grandby Mo. Grandby center.for the elderly they enjoy home grown tomatoes water melon ..
But it breaks my heart this year we really couldn’t do much cause of the motor blowing out of our truck .We scraped every penny we had to
Rebuild it, but we lost it cause the motor needs whole rebuild.After spending 600. On new gaskets and all the stuff we needed it started to find out it smokes & it is missing.. So the Motor is totally shot … We bought a truck on Facebook market place $400.with the Last of our savings. It looked good
Needed some tires and small stuff done we thought it was a good deal but,we got ripped
After 2 1/2 months of fixing things shifter shifter tranny cable window governor, window handles,tail gate handles
Brakes,shoes,anti sway bars,we finally are at the point to insurance and inspection.. We just needed some used tires but it took a mountain to be moved just to get used tires and rims.finally after buying four used tires two out of four are
Gone flat.
Just our luck.
Steve went to take it for a ride and found out the transmission is shot,it goes into reverse,123 no 4th and no overdrive.
We are heartbroken.. when we truly believed the guy we bought it from said it was only minor stuff that was bad,but that was a lie..
So we really need a good set of tires for summer for to complete our mission to feed homeless and keep on donating veggies.. We also need help building our tiny house,the RV we live in now is Redd with roaches and mice.
Believe me I have done everything I can to get Redd of the roaches but they have gotten really bad sense we have moved back to this farm ..even in my stove fridge and microwave… I have no dry goods in the cabinets
Cause of mice And I have cats but they can only catch so many mice in a week.
So we need a motor for our Ford F 250 blue white old truck and tires and a transmission for the Ford F-150 tags and title.
And what ever we can get together to start building a new dry house without bugs & mice in it.We have had a lot more happen to us this year but it’s just so embarrassing to even mention … Embarrassed to even talk about …
My good friend ripped me off call me a lier and stole from us I have over looked it several years
But this time I can’t.. stealing from people who are on their last leg is really your loss.
I would give people the world if I could but a little bit of happiness from helping someone just makes it so much better.
Any amount of money would help us. Thank you for your time.

Please help ?

Hi,

This is my last option. Obviously I am a single mom, hence the category. I am divorced now with 3 kids. We live in a small 2 bedroom condo and I have always worked 2 jobs to take care of my family.

About 10 years ago, I developed Rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia along with multiple other things like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, Sjogren Disease among other things. Anyway, those things never stopped my from taking care of things, until recently. The longer I have these incurable auto immune diseases the worst my condition gets. I am not at the stage where I qualify for disability because I am able to function about 3 to 4 days a week with minimum flare ups and pain. Unfortunately, I have been “released” from 2 jobs now because of the days I am unable to walk or use a limp do to a severe weekly flare up. I currently have a job I am able to work 22 to 28 hours a week, most weeks anyhow. This unfortunately is considerably many hours less than I used to work and need to work to keep up with my utilities and rent. I am asking for help to get me and my kids through the next couple of months so our electric and water will not be shut off.

My long term plan is to find work that is more of a seditary job and hopefully one that I am able to work from home on the days I am unable to walk. I am currently on 22 pills a day and weeks shots. Waiting on insurance to approve an infusion procedure, that is my last medical option to be able to physically be functional and will eliminate some flare ups and some of my prescriptions.

I am not only accepting money donations but also any suggestions of work ideas or words of encouragement.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, it means a lot to me that you took the time.

Thanks again,

On the verge of eviction

bill.jpg

This may be one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. To put my pride aside and ask total strangers to help me. In late august my fiance, and father to our beautiful 5 year old daughter, lost his job as so many others did when a new business took over his company. Since then we have been trying to stay afloat with me being a part time cashier at a retail store and he as an uber driver, as well as driving or lift, uber eats, and doordash, and filling out applications. I have just taken on a second job as a part time shift leader at a fast food restaurant, but with me just starting I of course have to wait two weeks for a check and do not have the the luxury of my bills and rent waiting for that check. Trying to work and then work around our daughters school schedule is hurting as well since we live in a city where we have no family members to help us. Our rent was due on 11/01/18 and we have until 11/15/18 to pay or be put out. Our rent is $577.00. That being said we also have a $616.00 electric and water bill due on 11/12/18. I am asking for anyone who can be of any assistance to my family as we go through this rough patch in our lives, please please help us. We are trying our hardest to take care of our family but sometimes life knocks you down and its hard to get back up. I pray that someone sees this message and find it in their heart to help out even if its not much it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you to anyone who reads this and is inspired to help.

Student who needs financial help for monthly expenses!

Hello! I am a graduate student who has been struggling to make payments on my rent, credit cards, and car note. I have hit a rough patch over the last 6 months and I have not been able to pay any of my bills which have caused me owning a lot to my car and my credit cards. It has become very stressful worrying about overdraft fees, managing to pay rent while stressing over classes and writing my thesis. Any donation amount would be extremely appreciated in helping me get back on my feet and graduate on time. Thank you!

Lupus has broke me mentally,physically, and financially

Thank you so much for clicking on my plea!

I have been happy independent and full of energy my entire life this is the last possible thing I thought I would ever have to do. I was diagnosed with Lupus recently. It has been a five year journey to discover what was wrong with me. So you can imagine all the doctors and testing I have had to endure. I had an amazing job as a phlebotomist at my local blood center. I was so blessed I got the job offer two hours before my final for my phlebotomy certificate. My illness was triggered from a back injury I had at work. Working as a phlebotomist became to challenging and painful for me . I was fortunate enough to transfer to the lab within my company. I missed all the donors that I had built incredible relationships with. I knew being in the lab was worth it so I could continue working.  I was working in the lab about a year when my doctor decided to start a new treatment plan. The medication I started made me very dizzy and forgetful. I have very few memories from the two months I was on the medication. We decided I needed to stop the medication. I ended up having serious withdrawals. I had brain zaps and severe full body pain. I had to go on medical leave at that time. It took two months for the claim to be approved so I had to use my credit cards to survive. I was unable to return to work at the blood center. I found a desk job with an insurance company. I was adapting well to my new position and I had amazing co workers. My rheumatologist decided to take me off one of my medications he didn’t feel was helping anymore. Within ten days I had completely relapsed I had full body aches and pains a full body rash I would describe as a bad sunburn. It took two months for the medication to start working again in that time I had severe anxiety and panic attacks. I developed a tremor in my right hand. I was placed on medical leave again it took 3 months for my short term claim to get approved. My long term has not been approved yet I have maxed out all of my credit cards. When my long term gets approved my wages will be cut down to 60% and I will have to pay $400 a month to keep my health insurance. I have so many medical bills I need to pay. I am the person in my family that members come to when they need help so I have no one to reach out to. I tried to get a personal loan. I did not get approved due to my debt to income ratio. I am doing my best to adapt to my illness and not let it beat me. I have done physical therapy , chiropractic care, counterstrain Thearpy, And pool Thearpy. I have had many cortisone shots none have been effective. I pushed passed my fears and went in for an SI joint injection. That experience was humiliating and extremely painful. In the end I got very minimal relief that did not last long.  I just need help to get back on track. My next step is to put my house up for sale and pray I make enough. I am so grateful you took the time to read my plea. Any help you could offer would be so appreciated. I wish  for you continued success and amazing health.

Anything helps at this point.

Hello,

I’m a 25 year old Drafter for a security company, and ever since my car broke down and needed to be sold I’ve been stuck in a cycle. My job is 7 miles away from where a I live and everyday I have to ride share with uber or lyft, ask for a ride from a friend or take a local cab just to make it in to work. I live with my sick mother who was in an accident years ago that left her with a broken dominant arm, high blood pressure, and clinical depression and I pay for her medication, help with the bills and groceries and the rent on top of that, also with the help of my family of course. But lately it seems like I’m struggling more and more to make ends meet, ride sharing everyday is starting to add up especially when prices are being raised constantly. The bills only increase with time and use each month and with those increases I had to resort in asking friends for financial help, and its to the point where I’m asking almost every month. It doesn’t help that I only get paid twice a month so my money is almost completely gone on paydays in bills. My credit card with its very limited spending limit is almost maxed out and I only use that for trying to get to work. Sometimes I go days without eating lunch because I’m struggling wondering how I’m going to make it home and how much money I need to budget (the little I have after bills) for the next 15 days. I’m stuck in a cycle that’s only getting worst because I cant save up for a new car, I cant get a bank loan because my credit is bad due to medical bill issues (that have been paid off thank goodness), and the only thing I have going for me is that through my job’s credit union they’ve approved me for a car loan, but I cant even afford the $900 minimum down payment in order to actually get a car. Its sad to say that $900 can save me from this cycle because I’ve exhausted my options and don’t know what to do anymore. I’m stressed out, have anxiety and depression but I’ve not given up. Anything helps from anyone please.

In Direr Need Of Help!

I don’t know where to even begin, so I’m just going to try and sumarise this and just get to it. I’ve been married for 36 yrs and for the most of it has been hell. I stayed in it this long because honestly I really had no help and didn’t think I could make it with 4 kids on my own . My husband is an alcoholic and is mentally abusive . He has always kept accounts in his name to keep me from being able access any money. When I would get a job he would always make sure I would end up losing it to keep me from having money I had to sneak behind his back to get my drivers license and when he found out if I even thought about using the car he would threaten to call the police and report the car stolen cause it was also in his name. When my kids were old enough I did manage to work and get a car of my own. I began to believe I could finally get out of this situation and then I began having a lot of health issues that kept me from working. His drinking has become even more worst and I knew I need to get out if this so I began to take steps to do just that without him knowing about it I applied for housing assistance and had to wait 2 years and just now finally got my letter that I got it but my problem is we just signed a new six months lease where we are living back in September and the lease will not be up to February and my landlord won’t let me out unless we buy the lease out which is equal to 2 months rent. I only have until December to use my housing assistance or I lose it. I have to give my notice now in order to move and now I need 2100 to buy out the lease on top of a deposit and my first months rent. I’m just so mentally and physically exhausted from everything I’ve been through with him and just want to live the rest of my life in peace. So if anyone would be so kind in helping me to come up with this lease buyout I would greatly appreciate it and would be very thankful for your help.        paypal.me/lhardin1019

Losing Insurance Daughter Needs Braces, ANYTHING WILL HELP!!

My husband and I are hard-working people that fall into the “just over the cusp” of any sort of help with insurance costs bracket.  We are losing our insurance at the end of the year because our employers are no longer offering insurance.  We will be buying new, private coverage, but it is going to kill us month to month.  We were advised to wait until we switched insurances before we started the consultation process with an Orthodontist.  So, we are now losing our better dental plan my husband had through his old Union and with the new plan through Obamacare, we will have to pay not only exorbitantly more per month, but also thousands more for orthodontia.

Our daughter is in eighth grade and needs braces. Her teeth are crowded, her bite is “off”, and a few of her adult teeth are having trouble even coming in because her mouth is just small and there’s not a lot of room. I never had braces w my own parents couldn’t afford it and now I have problems with my teeth and jaw.  I wake up in pain most days and I have always been adamant that my kids would get braces if they needed them.  I just am beside myself that this is happening when the majority of her peers are getting braces through Medicaid insurance and don’t have to pay a penny.  It’s just not fair that middle class people who try to work hard are the ones finding themselves not able to afford proper healthcare.

If anyone out there reads this and has the luxury of sparing a contribution in this economy, I would be so incredibly appreciative and touched. I always hope that by helping others when we can, that we are saving up some good karma so that maybe we can receive help ourselves when we need it most.  This is that time for my family and I just hope SOMEONE hears me out there. We aren’t ones to ask for help.  We have been together for fourteen years and take pride in doing things ourselves.  Sometimes it’s just time to give in and ask for assistance when you really need it.  My husband doesn’t know I am even writing this.  It would probably make him feel like he was failing as a provider.  I just don’t know what else to do, as we are just trying to stay afloat as is.

 

 

 

Thank You From the Bottom of our Hearts,

 

The ******** Family

Any Amount Will Help!

Hello, and thank you for taking the time out of your day to read this.

First, some background information:

I live in the same house as my mother and stepfather, and we have a dog. We rent a house, and our total bills cost $1800 a month (more or less depending on fuel oil, electric, etc,). I work in a chicken plant (I’m 45 minutes away from my job, and I have to leave an hour earlier to find parking. I make $12 an hour, and I work 50 hours a week should my department need to stay the entire night), my stepfather works for a landscaping service (He has to drive about 10 minutes to get to work. Also makes $12 an hour, works a little less hours than I do, unsure of how many), and my mother was recently employed by a small retail establishment (Its in walking distance from our house, that pays $8.25 an hour, but the hours fluctuate, and can go as low as 5 hours a week).

With the holidays coming up, my stepfather and I are getting less hours because the demand for chicken and lawn-care decreases around this time of year. And I hear that there’s going to be some lay-offs at my job. I’m extremely worried about the bills.

Honestly, I would like to have my own place. I believe that I would make enough to cover my own bills and my own utilities because I’m only one person, but of course, no one would look at me for real estate because I don’t ever have much to save after bills. I’d like to have some money to have in my savings account so that I can handle a downpayment, or have some evidence that I can pay bills, or get a homeloan.

Additionally, my car has already broken down 3 times. It only has one functioning blinker, one functioning window, and a bad overheating problem. I’m trying to find a job closer to home because part of the overheating problem involves the distance to my job. There’s a used car dealership that sells cars for $3,000 (Or less) cash, and I’d like to get one of those because it seems to be the best option for a vehicle.

 

So here’s what I’m asking:

I’d like $2,000 for emergency money

$10,000 towards a new place

And $3,000 towards a new (used) car

So my goal is a total of $15,000, but any little bit helps! Any amount is appreciated, I need all the help I can get.

I promise you I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t think I needed help.

Working college student needs help

My name is Amanda and I am 23 years old. I am asking for help with my property taxes because I do not have sufficient funds to pay them and I am falling behind in all other financial aspects. I am a full-time university student (15  units) and I work very hard to maintain excellent grades. Unsurprisingly that makes it impossible for me to work more than a few hours a week doing a barely above minimum job because I do not yet have a degree. I do side gigs when I can, but altogether I make very little money.

I receive a small amount of help from financial aid but I pay for my tuition, books, bills, and everything myself and have been doing so for a very long time. A small backstory to my position is that I do not have parents, my mother who was my only parent passed away when I was 16 of natural causes and I have been on my own working and going to school with no financial assistance ever since. My mom never finished high school and was a single parent but worked so hard in her life as to leave me with a house that did not have a large mortgage on it when she passed. I am very grateful to have a roof over my head but to claim that it is a money pit to have to constantly repair and maintain an old house and pay taxes and payments on is an understatement. My backyard, one bathroom, and other things are so broken down they are unusable and the house needs a lot of work. On top of that college is not the cheapest luxury.

Now it has to be kept in mind that I cannot simply just get rid of the house, it is my childhood home and the last piece of my mom I have left and I wish to one day fix it in her honor. It would also be just as much a financial burden to try and pay rent anywhere remotely close to my school (southern California pricing is wild).

The bottom line is I’m trying my absolute hardest to stay afloat. As I said I work so hard to try to make my future worth something but it’s so hard to do it alone. I don’t ask for things from the couch, but sometimes all the effort you can muster is still not enough. I’ve done the best I can but I find myself finally needing to ask for help. Please help me pay my property tax so I can safely pay tuition too.

I need gas money to get to therapy

I need just a little bit of money, a couple dollars, so I can get to therapy and then back home.
I get payed tomorrow but therapy is today and its a rather important session as I’ve slept through the past couple sessions and I’ve been having trouble lately related to my presentation of my emotions and my fear of angry/angering people, especially men, and it has been getting in the way of spending time with my friends who I havent seen in years because one is quick to anger and around these old friends, i get back into bad habits, including channeling all of my emotions into self righteousness, which in turn makes him more angry and me more scared, and it typically ends with me running off somewhere so they dont know im crying for an hour or so.
the reason I dont have enough money for gas is that I live 30 minutes from town and on top of the cost to get back and forth from work and such, I also dont have internet or phone signal at home and in order to talk to my long distance boyfriend, I will park my car outside somewhere in town that has internet, and because I have sensory issues and sodium/hydration problems, I often have to run the a/c so that I dont get sick, even now that it’s started cooling down, it still gets too hot from the sun through the windows, and shade doesnt help much.
i’ve also been sick in a way that causes me to lose a lot of water and salt for the past 7 months or so, and I have to keep my sodium levels up, which means having access to electrolyte enriched drinks and the like, so that i don’t get sick and pass out at work…. again… and those tend to be rather expensive.
and because I’m sick, most likely chronic fatigue as well as several mental disabilities, I’m only able to work about 8 hours a week and so my paycheck is generally about $70, all of which goes to groceries and gas.

I just need a couple dollars though cause I am getting paid tomorrow and I’ll make sure to fill my tank immediately and I won’t get tricked into buying peaches that the store claims are on sale but they still charge me full price this time. sorry for begging…
the scar on the hand in the empty gas tank pic is mine

Lost my mom, baby, and job. Severely depressed.

Hi, my name is Lexi.

I’m a 20 year old female. I lost my mom a few months ago and I ended up paying for all of her funeral expenses. It was a very hard time and I wasn’t thinking about the money, as most people don’t.
Fast forward two months, I lose my job that I’ve been at for 2 years. All my friends stop talking to me. I’ve been incredibly depressed and it’s been hard to find another job or to even get out of bed sometimes. Two days ago I went to the hospital without health insurance, because I could tell something was wrong. The doctor told me that I had a miscarriage. I’ve felt numb since they told me. I lost everything.

I live alone and I’m falling so behind on my bills because of everything that’s been happening. My car is breaking down, no jobs are giving me a chance, and my electricity is about to be shut off for the second time within a month. I’m barely paying November’s rent. My bank account is almost negative. I don’t know what to do anymore, I feel very, very helpless. I’ve always been a strong person and a hard worker but I don’t know how to overcome this.

My monthly expenses are roughly $1,000 and I have over $5,000 in debts, mainly medical bills. I feel like there’s absolutely no chance that I will make it out of this. I’m giving up hope and it feels like I’m drowning. I have absolutely nobody to lean back on. I’m not the type of person to ask for things, especially money, but I have never been more desperate. I don’t have a lot of time left to get my stuff together, and I’m terrified of becoming homeless and really having nothing.

Please, please help me. ANYTHING at all is appreciated.

Thank you

Before it’s Too Late

When I had my oldest daughter, I was alone. Her dad was an addict and chose his life of addiction over us. I didn’t have any help from family and I couldn’t keep a job because I could never find a babysitter. Shortly after I had her I also became an addict. But even then I still took care of her 24/7, by myself. 

Her dad decided to be a part of her life when she was 15 months old. I started to let him have her on the weekends. A couple months after he came back I got an eviction notice on the door of my apartment and a week later my power was turned off. So I asked her dad if he could keep her for a week or two while I figure something out. 

That was the biggest mistake of my life. 

It was March 27th, 2015, I was loading the final load of my belongings from my apartment onto the trailer, most of it was my daughters. I had the person driving me take me to his house so that my daughter would have her stuff for the time being. 

When I got there I knocked on the door and there was no answer… ok, I thought maybe he was still at work. So I went to the neighbors house, she was the babysitter, and when she let me in I was looking all around and asked her “do you have Aubrey today?” And I saw the color leave her face… she said “what do you mean?” So I asked her again and her eyes started to water… she told me “honey, they came and said goodbye last night, he said they were moving.”

Instantly I was filled with panic, fear, rage, worry, all of the emotions of being absolutely terrified. 

I didn’t have a phone at the time so I had to borrow someone’s to call him and his phone was shut off. Panic intensified. 

For three days I called and called over and over with the same results. Finally I texted his grandma and asked if she knew where he was, she said he was at work and this wave of relief came over me. “Ok, if he’s at work then he can’t be too far” I thought. 

His grandma gave me a number to call to get ahold of him. So I call him and finally get an answer, I asked him where him and Aubrey were and the answer was the worst thing I had ever heard “we’re in Georgia.” 

I live in Kansas, he took my baby 10.5 hours away from me! 

732.7 miles.

Devastated doesn’t even begin to cover what I felt, it felt like the entire earth had been dropped on top of me. I remember just collapsing and screaming at him while hyperventilating. Someone had to pry the phone from my hand and pick me up out of the yard and carry me inside. When I called the cops here in Kansas, they told me that there was nothing they could do because there was no custody agreement, even though he wasn’t even on the birth certificate. And I had no idea where he was in Georgia, all I knew was Georgia. 

After that day my addiction just got worse and worse and I was on a fast downward spiral. I didn’t have a car, I couldn’t get anyone to drive me all the way there. There was nothing I could do. 

At the end of July I had had enough of the life I was living, I couldn’t do it anymore. I got ahold of one of my ex’s that was from where I’m from that was living in Florida. I explained a little bit about what happened and that I needed help and I needed out of here. There was no hesitation, he offered to get me a bus ticket but the next bus there didn’t leave for another week and a half. So I had one of my very close friends, her family is like my second family, come get me. They let me sleep on their couch for a week and they made sure that I was not going to have the chance to leave and get high. They made me go everywhere with them, even if it was just to go to the gas station to get a drink. They made me get up every morning, no matter how sick I was, and go with them to do whatever it was that they had to do that day. And I will never be able to thank them enough for being the strength and discipline that I so desperately needed at that time. 

When the time came I got a ride to the bus station, I was leaving behind the place that had been my home for 11 years, I was leaving my sister, and all the friends I had ever known. It was terrifying. Once I was on the bus, it was a 3 day ride. The stop before the one that I was supposed to get off, I went into a gas station and washed my hair in the sink and changed my clothes, nervous to see a man I hadn’t seen in 5 years. 

Fast forward…. we were in Florida for a year and I still didn’t know exactly where my daughter was, other than somewhere near Chattanooga, which meant they were right below the Tennessee border. I begged and begged him to let me see her and each time I got a firm “no”. 

After a year in Florida we decided to move to Illinois. We got a big moving truck and loaded up. 

We had to go up through Chattanooga on our way to Illinois so I again asked him if I could see her and he finally said yes!!!! 

It was a 7 hour drive from where we were to my baby. 

After the longest 7 hours of my entire life I finally held my baby again, except she was no longer the baby I had last seen… it was the day before her 3rd birthday and she now looked like a kid, not a baby. I went a year and a half without my baby, and her a year and a half without her mommy. I only got to spend a few hours with her before I had to get back on the road for another 8 hours. I didn’t see her again until 4 months later, he was going to let me have her for a whole weekend! And my plan was to keep her and not let him have her back because there was nothing he could have done about it. But the week before I got her I was served custody papers, he had filed so that I couldn’t keep her. After my weekend with her I started looking up lawyers around where he lived. 90… I called 90 lawyers and only one was affordable, which my grandpa paid for. 

My lawyer hated the situation and thought there was no way that a judge wouldn’t give her back to me.

When we went to court we had a temporary order put in place that gave me visitation every month for one week. That only lasted 6 months, 3 of which he didn’t let me have her. At 6 months my lawyer calls me, she’s mad. “They had the final hearing and I was not notified” she said. Once again, I was filled with panic. What does this mean? 

So my grandpa paid $1000 for the judges decision to be appealed. After about a month his lawyer contacted mine and said that we could go back to the temporary order. By this point she had started preschool and he wouldn’t let me have her. 

Fast forward again… I found out that I was pregnant and we decided to move back home to Kansas. 

We found out we were having a girl and Aubrey was SO excited to have a baby sister. 

3 weeks after I had the baby, Aubrey’s dad flew her up here to meet her baby sister. He was here for 4 days and only let me have her for 2. 

Then we had discussed me getting her this past summer and he agreed…until the time came. I asked about getting her when she got out of school and again I got a firm “no”. 

I later found out that it was because he was getting married. Which is awesome, good for him. 

But since he has gotten married, he hardly ever answers when I call to talk to her, he won’t give me their new address, he won’t tell me what size clothes and shoes she is in so that I can help out. 

I think he is trying to make it look like I have abandoned her so that his wife can adopt her. 

December will be a year since I’ve seen her. And I’m lucky if I get to talk to her more than twice a month. 

So here is where I ask for donations. I am asking for $5000 so that I can rent a car for 2 weeks, and pay for a hotel and food and other necessities, and also take her shopping to get her what she needs and some things she wants. I need to visit her so that I can have proof that I am not and will not ever abandon her. 

Please if you can help me I will forever be grateful. And one day when I am in the position to do so, I will pay it forward.

My daughter and I are full time college students going online to Full Sail University pursuing Bachelor’s Degrees in Audio Production and Game Design, I don’t know what else to do right now….working odd jobs just to get by and that isn’t an everyday thing, we are behind on our rent which right now is $1200 for three months. The house we live in is run down and if someone could help us with at least $4000 we can move and have the break we need to get back on our feet, as a former Marine I’m strong but when I see my family suffering like this it makes me feel like I have failed them. Volunteers of America denied my rental assistance request which has left me with a lot of stress and anxiety, I recently started my disability claim and will have the first of many doctor appointments starting in December. If there is anyone out there that can help me and my family reclaim our lives we would be very grateful and will write a thank you letter with pictures. Thank you for your time.

Looking for a bail out to restart and do better for my family.

Hi, my name is Matt and I just turned 30 this year. I am married and have two young kids, my son who is 9, and my daughter who is 5. Over the last 5-10 years my wife and I have been good about keeping up with our credit cards, while continuing to move forward and improve our life. In the last two years, things have got to a point where I am a bit worried about the future if we can’t correct it soon. I have made mistakes and realize what I need to do to prevent this in the future, but I need help to get out of the hole I am in.

We sold our first home last year at almost double what we paid for it. Great, right? Well, we decided to start an equity line 6 months prior to that to do some final updates to the house, and pay off our car and my school loans. The plan was to use the final $10k towards credit cards to keep them at a manageable amount (less than $15k). During the selling process, we ended up having to do the roof over before selling the house. It ended up being a disaster and costing us $12k, so we had to use the rest of the equity line. We also found the house of our dreams, over our original budget but we went for it anyway, in hopes that my career will continue to move up and eventually even out where it is manageable. We also planned a Disney trip with the kids, feeling it was the best time in their lives to do it and not knowing when we’d be able to ever do a vacation like that again. We tried to keep up with the Jones’s, and lived beyond our means.

We’re now sitting at about $30k in credit card debt, and struggling to pay it. We have played the balance transfer game for years, and now with our credit scores lowered we can’t do it anymore, so we are facing thousands in back-interest once the balance transfer offers are done. To make things worse, I found out that I am not expecting a raise for a few years while the company I work with continues to grow, which is not what I had expected. Between my wife and my schedules, along with the kids schedules, it’s nearly impossible for one of us to get a second job. Now, both of our cars are starting to have issues and I fear we will be in need of another car soon, and a loan we might not be able to afford.

Thinking of the future, I feel like we’ve failed our kids. We have no emergency fund, and haven’t began saving for college. I am afraid that we will only get more behind now before we can get ahead, which could be over a decade from now. If anything ever happened to my wife or I, the other would be in a bad situation.

I am here to ask for any help. My goal would be to just eliminate the $30k in credit card debt, so I can begin saving for an emergency fund and set up a plan to start saving for the kids’ future. However, anything that can help chip away would help. Even if the debt was cut in half to $15k, I feel I could manage that and pay it off sooner, also allowing us to have some breathing room in case something unexpected happens.

I got in an accident and can not afford the $500 deductible to get my car fixed.

Earlier today I was driving to pick up my husband from work, got distracted by my son in the back seat, and rear ended another car. No one was hurt and I have full coverage but my deductible is $500 and I just don’t have that right now. This is my second accident this year and my husband is furious. We were barely able to get enough money together to get this car after I totaled the last one. Now with bills coming up and him being angry with me, he’s insisting I come up with the $500 or he’s leaving me. I don’t work, he wanted me to take care of our kids full time, I don’t have anything. I won’t have a place to live, any way to take care of our two kids or anything if he makes me leave. Friends and family don’t have the means right now and I just don’t know what to do anymore. My immediate family moved all the way to Georgia and I’m in California. My parents are still raising my younger siblings so financially they can’t help too much. Without a car I cannot get my daughter to and from school reliably and that is one of the most important things to me. I don’t know how my husband will get to and from work, assuming that he doesn’t actually kick me out. We are a one income and one car family. This car is everything to us, without it without it I don’t know how we will survive. Basically my whole world depends on whether or not I can come up with the $500 to get our car fixed, I feel helpless. It was my fault and I feel terrible. If I could go back to work to pay for it I would, but with two young children it’s almost impossible.  I try my hardest to go out of my way and help friends and family that need it and now I really need help.

Potentially loosing car and apartment

Moving across the country has cost so much more than we expected it to. Even with savings and credit cards. My job situation has not been stable or promising despite my best efforts. I’m still going to keep fighting for it but as of right now our living situation is now at risk as is a portion of my husbands job. We are behind on car payments, my accounts overdrawn and rent is coming due. I have enough money waiting to deposit to bring my account back to the positive but that’s pretty much it at the moment.  Part of my husbands work is uber which he hasn’t been able to utilize ( we are waiting on a title transfer) if we lose the car we lose even more income. I hate with every fiber in my being having to do this but I have nowhere else to turn and fully anticipate on paying this forward in any way I can when I am able.My family has helped so much and are pretty strapped for cash right now and his family isn’t involved in our lives. As of right now 900 is what we need to stay afloat but anything at all helps. This literally just smashes my pride into pieces but I have nothing left to sell or pawn. We don’t have kids but I have my furbaby who needs a roof over his head too. I’m trying to start my own business, help my friend in restarting her business and trying to work as much as I can but I seem to be stuck and stagnant. A kind word or advice would be appreciated as well. Thank you so much for reading!

Single Mom In Need of Some Blessings

Hello, my name is Crystal I am the mother of 4 totally awesome kids. My eldest son which is 19 is 6’7 and no he does not play basketball lol. I had my eldest son at the age of 17 and his little brother was not far behind. They are 13 months apart. Their biological father was mentally and physically abusive . I stayed in that relationship for 5 years . Coming from a broken home myself I thought I was doing the right thing. Boy was I mistaken but I grew from it and got out in a hurry. I had always worked from the day my sons was born because I had no other choice didn’t really have a mother figure or any help from family besides my dad. I meet a wonderful man several years later had my first baby girl in 2004 then her little sister was not far behind in 2006 . I almost died having her and I thought well 4 is way enough crystal so I stopped at that. My husband was from Mexico we had some money saved from working and we went to do the right thing and get him to be a citizen payed way to much to lawyers and in the end his denial reason was you have been in the United States for over a year illegally you are banned from reentering for 10 years. My world was crushed and well it’s almost been 10 years but this has been the roughest 10 yrs of my life. I have been working and still cannot seem to get out of the whole. My credit is horrible at this point and my son was shot 2 months ago and had flatlined 2 times before they could redo his artery in his leg and put the titanium plate in where his femur use to be. A 9mm at close range almost took my 18 yr old son away from me and away from his daughter which was one. It seems like I have been plagued with any and everything this world could throw at me and while I have went through my trials and tribulations I have tried to stay strong but this past year has really taken a toll on me. I am so prideful and I was taught you don’t beg you work for it. Well I have been working and praying and praying and working and I just don’t know at this point . I am not asking for a lot. My girls some new school clothes and to just be able to get caught up a little would be amazing . To just be able to spend the day with my kids and not worry about what will make of the next day , to be able to take a sigh of relief we were just hit by hurricane michael two weeks ago and had just gotten power and water back a few days ago. I was able to get some assistance back on the food I lost but fema claimed my house was still livable and the SBA denied me for a loan because I didn’t have enough income to pay it back with the size of my household. Anything would be appreciated and I know their are people in way worse shape than me but at this point I have thrown all my possible life rafts out. God bless you all and have a great evening.
