Bring me Home From War

RLMD0380 (1).JPG

January 21, 2020

My fiancé is a soldier in Afghanistan and desperately wants to come home. Since being there he has been shot, suffered a concussion, chased by Taliban members with machine guns, seen friends blown up, seen innocent families annihilated, children mutilated, and sustained injuries from a missile attack at a nearby military base. And this is from only having been there since August 2019.

This is his second trip to Afghanistan, and he has had enough. The problem is now that he is deployed there, they won’t give them an estimated date of when they will return to the states. But there is one way to ensure he arrives home by Christmas. A certain individual who oversees arranging who is shipped home will guarantee his leaving for $50,000. I’m a teacher so I certainly don’t have that kind of money and I don’t even know anyone I could turn to for that much.

You might wonder why it’s such a big deal to bring him home and there are several reasons. One is that I am 59 years old and we want to get married and spend as much time together as possible. We will be lucky to get 20, maybe 30 years together, so the sooner we can be together the better our lives will be.

Another reason he wants to get home already is since he has been in the military all he has done is fight in wars. Right after he joined, the Gulf War broke out and he said the slaughter he saw there still haunts him. Then he was a part of the first troops going into Afghanistan in 1996 where he saw many friends killed and maimed by IEDs.

Al-Qaeda insurgency in Yemen 1998 he was sent over to fight in this war against Al-Qaeda, another blood bath for US soldiers and innocent villagers.

2002 Operation Enduring Freedom – Philippines assisting Armed Forces of the Philippines to combat Jihadist terror groups. He worked closely with the soldiers to train them how to be affective soldiers.

Now with the Taliban Insurgency he’s back fighting against surprise machine gun attacks, bombings, snipers, and self-bombers. One child had a bomb stitched into his stomach by the Taliban and he could hear the bomb ticking through the child.

He has seen and experienced enough and is ready to retire and come home. He declared his intent to retire and they deployed him anyhow with no indication of how long he would be kept there. Please help me get him home while he still has his sanity and not too much PTSD.

In need of Dental work

Hello everyone. My name is Michelle. I am currently in a situation that I need to get a dental procedure done. Being a spouse of a military Vet. I have give up a lot through his 22 year career in the Army. It was so nice to have him protect us well out in the battle field. So I made sure everything was running smoothly on the hinge front so get can worry about his job. I’ve always put everyone’s needs before my own. Now that I’m in need of financial help for myself I can’t do for myself. My dental insurance doesn’t cover any of the cost of the procedure I need. Since my teeth were filled with metal well being stationed overseas. It really messed my teeth up. Cracked them, broke them and am only able to eat soft foods. I need dentures. The reason why I selected the Renew dentures is it a life time guarantee. You get a new pair every 5 years and all check ups are covered at a price of 21,712.00. I know that’s not cheap at all. But I have done all my research and this is the best fit for me. I am at the point where I’m always hiding my teeth when I talk. I just want to be able to rekindle my marriage and be able to be social again. I will be happy with what ever I can get. Thank you in advance for the kindness.

Single Mom of 3 about to be homeless

Hello,

Thank you so much for taking the time to help me and my family. We are soon to become homeless. We stay at a hotel for now until I can get a apartment. Unfortunately I am going through a divorce right now and I am doing my very best for my babies but like any mother I just feel like I am failing them and it just hurts me that we will possibly live in a shelter soon because I can barely provide at the moment. So yes I am extremely scared at this point. Anything will help and very much be appreciated.

Thankful for what I have just need some more time.

I have been on a long journey these past few years. I lived in West Virginia my whole life (30 years). 2 years ago I moved to Missouri to help my family out and patch things up with my estranged mother. Out here in Missouri: My Brother who is totally blind, his wife and daughter who are legally blind, a family friend who is totally blind, and my mother (recently unemployed and disabled). My mother and I hadn’t seen each-other or spoke in 11 years. I was sour with her for leaving me alone to take care of my disabled father and brother without a car or income (i was just graduating high-school when she left). With some counseling from my brother I came to realize it was unhealthy to harbor a toxic grudge like that so i came to help out. I am Married to to the love of my life and been with her for 8 years. My wife has PTSD and Fibromyalgia.

When my wife and I first moved to Missouri we were social drinkers. We started down a bad road to alcoholism. For the first year, depression about leaving our best life long friends and the stress of my job and taking care of my family drove me to drinking everyday. My wife and I found a group at a church called Celebrate Recovery and ended up really celebrating our recovery. January 12th marks our 1 year sober day.

Everything was starting to get better and I had even received a promotion at my job. The pay was sustaining our life and we were on our way to saving for a safe vehicle to drive. Then in September of this past year (2019) the company I worked for restructured and I lost my position and my pay was nearly cut in half. I tried to cope with the new job that was physically tougher. My doctor put me on antidepressants because i was apparently scaring my family with my depression. I feel like the medicine made me act on things irrationally because i did some things i never thought i would ever do. For example I walked out of my job of nearly 10 years with this company without a single thought. I stopped playing music and isolated myself from everyone for a good month. During that month i tried to get another entry level job and quit it in less than a week. My family told me that i needed a vacation of some sort and i agreed with them. I cashed out my savings and payed my rent up until April of 2020. The rest of my money is almost gone now and i still haven’t found a job that will sustain me although i have a few things in the works. My health is going down hill aswell and its hard to stand for long.

I’ve been using some of my savings to secure a safe vehicle so i can take everyone to the doctor and grocery store. Some of our doctor visits for the family take us to St Louis and Springfield both of which are pretty far away for us to drive in an unsafe vehicle. I did get a van working just before my old van broke down. The new van cannot pass inspection yet though. I had to make a trip out for my family recently and i was pulled over and now have a court date to have to worry about and possible points on my license.

Present day, I have to admit i’m loosing enough hope to do some hailmary plays. I am down to my last 100 dollars. I have insurance to buy and a car to get legal. I have medical bills coming out of my bank account every month because of the lack of insurance. The electric bill is heavily overdue. I’m just looking for a miracle to help keep me taking care of the people that need me, because without them and there happiness i have no more purpose. I have now pending medical problems that are fatal and everyone in my family is in good health so if you’re reading my page please consider helping someone with time sensitive medical problems first. Just send me good vibes or prayers if you cant help out financially and thank you for your time.

Any amount would help me out really. My most dire need is paying my overdue electric bill and buying food for the next month i know my job interview is in two weeks but i dont know where that puts me on my first paycheck. Electric bill is 280, my groceries are usually 150-250 depending on how lean i go. My car insurance sticker and licences fees total around 100 dollars. Im still not sure how much more work needs done before they pass my van for inspection.

If i had another 200 dollars i could pay off my wife’s dentist bill and not have the payments coming out next month.

P.S. My brother and our family friend have a YouTube as well if you ever want to see them. The are called “The other blind guys.” and they are funny to watch it brightens their day to see the view counter go up on their videos.

Mom Asking for a little Sunshine Please!

I am asking for help so that I can pay my bills and buy groceries. In 2019 I got divorced, had 3 immediate family members pass away (all at different times & all suddenly without warning), and when I thought nothing else could get worse – Christmas time and I have no job. I have a son in college, who I keep having to tell “it will be okay” as I worry for the both of us. I don’t live lavishly at all since the divorce. I’ve moved in an apartment, which isn’t a home and looks more like a storage facility, but the rent is more than what my mortgage used to be. I also have my sons rent at college to maintain as well. I have a small tv but no cable or anything, so it’s a decoration in the living room basically. I have internet, because I have to hunt for jobs!!! Then there’s the electric bill, water, sewer, and phone (so hopefully I will get a call about a job). Lately, I feel like I’m wading in an ocean about to be overtaken by a storm. My accounts are drained, so there’s nothing to squeeze out there. I’ve never been this desperate in my life. I am a smart woman, so I thought finding a job would be much easier than it has turned out to be. My picture I included was all of the job applications I put out there this weekend. Applying for jobs is also a full-time process too, with the same redundant questions over and over because they don’t want to just look at your attached resume. You have to copy and paste all that information back into their format.

In the meantime, I teach free yoga classes at a local church for those students who cannot afford to go to a traditional studio class. Those individuals have kept my spirits up and brought joy to my heart even in these troubling times. I love seeing them progress in their poses and make physical healthy changes to their bodies. It really makes me proud to be a yoga teacher and that kind of profound effect on someone. I’ve gotten more students now that come on a regular basis and need more equipment to supply them to use in class (other than a beach towel) – but that will have to be on hold until I have money to do so. I plan on that being my “paying it forward” deed once I’m not in the red and have a job. I want my first paycheck to be able to help those individuals out in whatever way they need also.

I am not the kind of person to ask anyone for help either, so this type of request is way out of my zone. But I thought about how much my yoga teaching does for me, and I know there are wealthy individuals out there that give money away because it gives them the same joy in their heart as well.

If you cannot donate but have a remote/virtual job that I’d be qualified for, I’d like that also. I’ve got a BA in Business Management and have worked in legal compliance for the health industry for 12 years. Before that I was a paralegal. I pray several times a day to bring some kind of sunshine in my life so I know that it is going to get better.

If You Can Help Me Pay Off My Debt, I Can Do Something For You That Only A Few People on the Planet Can Do

Hello Everyone!

My name is Michael White. I am writing this letter to all of you out there to ask a big favor. I Know that there are some people out there who need help a
whole lot more than I do. But nevertheless, I really do believe that I still have a valid reason to ask for help as well. After reading my explanation, if
you still don’t agree, then I’ll understand. I’ll try to make this as short as I possibly can. I happen to be a member of a couple of Motown singing groups
that consists of grammy award winners who sang lead for world famous groups like the Temptations and the Four Tops. If you look up Barrington “Bo” Henderson
and Theo Peoples, you’ll see that I’m not kidding. And if you go to my Facebook page (www.facebook.com/michaelw33428), you’ll see videos of some of the
concerts that I sang with them. Although it’s a lot of fun doing these shows, the truth is, I have no choice because I really need the extra money since I’m
not making enough to make ends meet with my full-time job. Not only am I doing shows all over the world with these groups, I’m also doing local shows every
week as well right after I get off of my full-time job, which takes a lot of quality time away from my family, and also leaves me very little time to rest as
well. Because of this, I had a drinking problem for many years. I even got caught drinking at my full-time job. Because of that, in order to keep my job, I
had to live in a rehab for about 3 months away from my family without being able to call them or hardly see them at all. I almost lost everything, my job and
my family. I’m not trying to give you a sad story, but I really want to tell it to you like it really is so you can get the full picture and completely
understand the extreme importance of my request. Anyway, for years, I was hardly ever home except to come home late at night from a gig to get a just few
hours of sleep, then wake up early in the morning only to do it all over again, even on weekends. How did I get myself into this situation? Well, simply
because all I wanted was to give my family the very best possible life that I could give them. So basically, I went into debt making a few bad investments
here and there. And now I’m way in over my head in debt and been that way for many many years. I’ve been paying off this debt for quite some time now. But,
with all of my effort and all of my hard work, even with my full-time job and the gigs as well, the debt just doesn’t seem to be getting any better. So if
anyone out there can find it in your heart to donate whatever you can to help me get rid of all of my debt once and for all, I would be eternally greatful to
you. And as a token of my thanks and appreciation, if you or someone you know would like to audition for the groups that I’m in, or even one of the groups
that I have access to like, The Stylistics, the Spinners, Shalamar and a few others, I’m one of the very few people on the planet that’s actually in a
position to be able to possibly set up an audition for you to become a member of one of these groups. Not too many peolpe can say that. This couild be a once
and a lifetime offer for you. And sometimes I’m not able to do a gig so maybe you can stand in for me when I can’t make it. Of course I can’t promise
anything. It’s entirely up to the people in charge to accept you into the organization. But if you’re good enough, I will do my very best to get you accepted
as a member of one of these groups as soon as there is an opening or, like I said, at least as a stand-in for me when I can’t do a gig. So I hope this sounds
appealing to you. I want to thank you in advance for any help that you can give me. Thanks for your consideration. God bless!!!

Sincerely,
Michael White

I have to fight the Texas Workforce Commission

I was working 70 hour weeks for two years for a spoiled, evil woman. I worked my butt off for her every day, all day. She never gave me a day off, if I was lucky I would get one day off a month. I didn’t get sick days, holidays, vacation time, nothing. Then, my father got ill. I asked my employer for a day off, on Christmas so that I could be with my family.

She said no, she needed me to pack her bags for her, it literally takes days to pack her bags. We had been doing that all week. Every year, on the day after Christmas, she and her four spoiled kids fly out, on her private luxury jet, to one of her many mansions in one of a hundred different countries that she owns property in, including a castle in France. She thought it was more important for me to pack for her than for me to see my family on Christmas, I hadn’t seen them in a year. I gave plenty of advanced notice that I wouldn’t be there but she fired me anyway.

She hated paying unemployment benefits. She hated it so much so, that when there was someone she wanted to fire, she would ghost them. She would stop sending them their schedule, she wouldn’t speak to them, she wouldn’t take their calls, or allow them on her property. Then, she would tell the Texas Workforce Commission that they quit so that they couldn’t get unemployment. She also threatened her existing employees by telling them that they would be fired if they agreed to be a witness in a hearing for a former employee. Which, by the way, is incredibly illegal.

So, when she completely ghosted me after Christmas, I knew what she was doing. I called and texted everyone at my job and asked what my schedule was. I was told by multiple people there that my employer had told them that they were not to speak to me, answer the phone when I called or put me on the schedule anymore. She also told them that if I arrived, not to let me in and not to tell me what she said. Then she told TWC that I quit, so I was ineligible for benefits.

I appealed, and I won. They sent me the unemployment money I was entitled to. Then, my employer appealed and she won. She altered text documents, falsified evidence, and straight lied about me in her appeal. I requested the case be reopened. It was denied. I made a complaint to the Director of Appeals about a bunch of the unfair stuff that happened in my hearing, such as the fact that I was never given the chance to question the employer, and luckily, the Director of Appeals reopened my case.

So, another hearing was held. What a surprise, it was just as unfair as before, actually it was worse. It was a joke, the Hearing Officer and my former employer’s 2 lawyers literally laughed at me numerous times and even mocked me during the hearing. When their decision came, they still ruled in my employer’s favor. The law states that the TWC is supposed to provide a reason and an explanation to why they made their decision. The only explanation given was “We have decided our original ruling was correct.” So, I was expected to give the money back. I couldn’t give the money back though because I spent it on my rent, electricity, food, etc.

I was applying for jobs the entire time this TWC stuff was going on but I kept being told I was over qualified and the only jobs available paid very little. So, I decided I would do freelance work. Then, I broke my ankle. I was out of commission for almost 4 months, I just barely stated being able to walk again. Not being able to stand for even one second makes it 100% impossible to have a job.

I am pretty sure my former employer paid off someone in the TWC. While I was working for her, she paid people to do anything and everything for her. She paid for her kids to get into college, she pays her doctor to give her pills she doesn’t need, and she practically owns the police in River Oaks. Out of all the people that she has fired, no one has ever won against her lawyers in the TWC hearing. Which I only know because she bragged about that when I working there, it makes me sick. She is taking that money away from hard working people with jobs and responsibilities. She has no idea what that is like, she hasn’t worked a day in her life. Its not like she needs the money; she is a multibillionaire. She doesn’t even participate in the hearings; she has her lawyers do it for her and they lie the entire way through.

They still expect me to pay her back though. I am suing the TWC though, for not following the laws that were made specifically for unemployment hearings and I am hoping the district court will over turn their ruling. However, I don’t have the money for a lawyer and I found out I only had 14 days from the day TWC sent their ruling to be able to sue them, which was today. I sent the papers in at the literal last second before the deadline. I tried nearly every single low income lawyer program and every pro bono program available but the waiting list is 3 months long at the shortest but my trial is sometime this month. I either need enough money for a lawyer or enough money to pay back my employer. If that wasn’t bad enough, my bank account just over drew and I have no food at my house, my electricity is about to be turned off and I have maxed out my credit cards, which expect payment every month. I haven’t paid my water bill yet either… I am hoping they won’t notice. I am continuing to apply for jobs and I have a job interview tomorrow but even if I get the job, I won’t get my first check for another 2 weeks after that. Please help me raise enough money to fight back against this wrongful misuse of the law. If not for me, then do it for all the people my employer wronged. If I win my case and get a judge to actually listen to my case maybe I can get the judge to reopen all the cases she was involved in.

Help Us Catch Up!

In the middle of July my girlfriend and I moved from the Chicago area to Tennessee. It was a very sudden move, and not anything we had ever seen coming. We were fired from our job and given 24 hours to be out of our house at the same time. We had no savings, and the little bit of money we had in our checking account was quickly gone to rent a moving truck. We piled in with our two cats and dog and drove straight to Tennessee to stay with my girlfriend Ari’s sister before crashing after being awake for almost 72 hours straight.

Two days before we moved in, Ari’s sister Jaime tripped over a small lip in between the living room and kitchen. She caught herself and thought she had simply rolled her ankle, but when we got here her foot was swollen and bruised, and I took her to the ER. They did an xray and sent her home, saying that nothing was wrong. She went about her life as normal, and two weeks later her foot was black and blue and hurt to step on. She also had a black necrotic wound on her heel. Taking her back to the ER, they told her this time that amputation was likely, but they’d suggest getting a second opinion and suggested seeing the same ortho person that the Tennessee Titans sees. So we took her and were told that he had never seen anything like this in the entire time hes been working, and doesnt know what to do, so to head straight to Vanderbilt.

We say in the waiting room for hours, but eventually Jaime was admitted to the hospital with a scheduled surgery for the next morning. They reset her foot and put an X-fixator in and kept her for 6 days. When they sent her home they never gave her or us any kind of care tips, only told her not to put weight on it at all, and to come back for a follow up in 2 weeks.

2 weeks later at the follow up they admitted her again, this time because her foot was infected, to the point of having maggots. They did surgery again to remove the infection, including removing some of her skin, and was in for another week. Since then it’s been multiple follow ups and home health aids coming in. Someone has to stay at home with her at all times, and the one car that we have between the 3 of us has to be accessible very often in order to get her to lots of appointments. It was determined last week that her foot is ultimately unsaveable and will be amputated on January 20th. Shell be fitted for a prosthetic a few months after, but until then will be in a wheelchair. To make her life easier and more accessible we will be needing to buy a bigger car than what we have. We will also need to buy a bigger house, one that is more accessible.

The money raised will be used to help pay bills that we are behind on now, making sure we dont lose our house, as none of us have been working in order to help Jaime as best as possible through all of this and the disability that Jaime is drawing isnt enough to cover everything. Anything extra will be put back to save for a car and house. Thank you for taking the time to read all of this.

NO WAY TO BUY HOUSE AND NOWHERE TO RENT

We are currently renting a home in which my spouse and daughter reside. We have been current with our rent for more than 15 years with this same landlord. Unfortunately, he has decided to sell the home on 3.5 acres of land and offered to sell to us for $130,000. We are currently trying to get a mortgage, unfortunately, due to being self-employed as a general contractor and not having enough proof of income to be approved. We currently have business in Juniata County and with many times looking for a house to rent at least until we find another proper home, living out of the area would conflict with our steady income. Our original plan was to buy this property so we can do renovations to bring our son home.
Our son, Austin, of McAlisterville, was riding his bicycle to school on Friday, September 29, 2017, when he was struck by a car. Austin was thrown from his bicycle and sustained serious injuries. He was life flighted to Danville Hospital. The injuries included a traumatic brain injury, a stroke, broken knee cap as well as many internal injuries which placed him in a coma for three weeks. After 9 months of physical therapy in Hershey, he now resides in Brookline Nursing Home. He is transported by school transportation to his high school five ½ days a week.
Overall, he needs 24-hour care. We were told by public assistance that there is a waiver program that would help with providing at home care as well as therapy.
We don’t feel he gets the proper care being in a nursing home since his needs are so different than other residents in the facility. Unfortunately, there are no other nursing homes for young adults with a traumatic brain injury in Central Pennsylvania.
We understand that this is quite a lot to bear when he gets home but I feel his well-being and his recovery would develop quicker with constant support.
At the present time, we are just looking for $130,000 to purchase this house and eventually bringing our son home. We understand that $130,000 is a lot of money and we feel very uncomfortable asking for help like this but we are out of options for finding a place to live in our area. We appreciate anything that we can get to help us with this problem that we are having.

Surgery on Hand BADLY NEEDED

Hello,

Thank you so much for even clicking. A little over a week ago I smashed my hand jacking up a friends vehicle while he was stranded on the side of the road with a flat tire. My good friend has back problems so I volunteered to change the tire, of course since he couldn’t do it himself easily. While I was jacking up the car the hydraulics failed in the jack holding up his vehicle causing the bar to violently slap my hand and then pin it to the highway momentarily. It could have been much worse but I fractured 2 metacarpals, and 2 proximal bones in my right hand. I am right handed so typing this has been a pain in itself!

I do not have insurance at the moment and have been hit with a large ER bill and it was suggested that I have a surgery to repair the fractured bones in the lower part of my hand where it is swelling in the photo.

I do not have the money to do this right now and I am also in so much pain right now, I have no clue what to do so I’m turning to you. Whoever out there that can help me, I appreciate you so much. My ER bill is just over $4600. This would open up my eligibility to get the surgery I badly need. I’m not sure how the medical system works but I was told they could not operate on my hand without valid insurance in this scenario while owing the ER bill and turned me away with nothing more than a wrapped splint and ibuprofen 800.

So, like the site suggests, I am literally begging for money. I cannot work like this. My job requires my hands and now I can no longer even log hours. My fist will not close and I have been sitting with my hand elevated for 10 days now and I have no where else to turn. Please someone pay for this ER bill so I can get this surgery. I don’t want my hand to atrophy and get to the point I can’t have the surgery and my dominant hand will never get back to normal. Please.

Thank you so much. To whoever donates I can even offer to pay you back in the coming months. Please. Anything at all would help.

FAFSA was not enough for my college fees

https://paypal.me/francescarubino

After receiving my college acceptances, they only offered me $10,000 from my FAFSA, although my household income is only $27,000. These schools cost roughly $70,000. I can’t afford these whatsoever, but they are my dream schools. I thought the hardest part would be deciding between schools, however it seems it’ll be affording them.

Dorms, meal plans, course costs, textbooks—all of this is so expensive, and I just can’t afford it. My GPA is a 3.7, but that won’t matter unless I can afford these schools.

If anyone can find it in their hearts to donate to my situation and further my education, I would do anything for you. I want to send a postcard or a personalized video thanking you! But please, donate to my cause.

Single Mom looking to start over fresh

Writing this is the most humbling and hardest things I have ever done.

I am a 31 year old single Mother of 2 boys ages 11 and 6. They are the smartest and most amazing kids. They think about others before themselves and they love each other more than I remember loving my brother at their age.

Ive been a single Mom for almost 2 years. After I left him, my credit took a major hit. He blew over $100k that he got from a settlement and never offered to help pay for school supplies, or medical bills. My ex is re married and he and his new wife see the kids every weekend. I do not receive steady child support from him. The last amount I received was $15 and some change. Everything relies on me.

I am a full time employee working for a casino. I work mostly nights and weekends. I am a salary employee so there are plenty of weeks where I am putting in more than 40 hours a week but I do not see the hourly increase reflected on my pay.

I try to make extra money working for postmates, uber eats, and doordash. The money I have made has helped buy groceries or put more gas in my car or buy medications. No matter what I do I cant seem to get ahead. I cant seem to break out of this cycle. The tipping was was when I received a notice last night that my paychecks would be garnished for a payday loan balance from a year ago would be garnished from my wages. The loan amount left was $480. With attorneys and filing fees, they will be taking out over $1600 from my checks.

I see a bright future for myself. I see a light at the end of this tunnel. I just need a boost to get over the bump in the road. I have so much I need to get taken care of that i cant afford and put in the back burner. I just need a little help from someone that can help. I have always donated to other when I could. I am really hoping and praying that someone can pay it forward and help us. When I get back on my feet, I will definitely do the same.

I came up with a total of $8000. That will cover so many medical bills I am behind on paying for my youngest sons extreme asthma. It will help me pay for an oil change on my car that been very much needed, my balance to both the elementary and middle schools for lunch fees or after care fees. Pay my rent next month without worry, catch up on my car payment so im not behind on it anymore. honestly, it will cover life expenses. I dont know anyone else to ask. No one I know has that kind of money or are all in a similar situation as me.

I want to own a home, I want to be a mother my children are proud of. I truly feel like if I can get out of this hole I have been in I can turn my life around and start over. I can be someone who helps another in need. Thank you for your time and god bless!

Homeless In Houston

Just over a year ago my husband and I ran our very own cleaning service, not to mention that he worked a side gig as an Uber/Lyft driver, and I also had a side job, babysitting from my home. We were doing well, paying our bills on time, making sure not to get behind on anything. It felt good knowing that we didn’t owe anyone anything, and that it was due to our hard honest work. As our leasing renewal got closer, my husband and I decided to stay one more year in order to save for our simple little dream home, away from the city with a little piece of property to call our own. Soon after, my husband started to feel sick and he had a lot of trouble breathing. Well, before my husband got ill, he was paying for his medical insurance, and suddenly he received a letter from his insurance company that his rates would go up. Unfortunately, he could not afford to pay what they were charging, so he asked the insurance company to drop him. He then applied for the gold card, it’s a Texas public health benefit provided by the Harris County Hospital District that provides financial assistance. My husband provided all of the necessary documents that are required in order to be approved, but due to their incompetence he could do nothing but wait. Without that card my husband was not eligible for assistance, therefore he could not be afforded the help that he needed. The sicker he became, the less he was able to work. I was so worried about his health that I told him not to worry about working. And right after that, wouldn’t you know it, a very good client of mine was having money problems, and told me that he had to temporarily cancel my cleaning services. That was a total bummer. Just when I thought things couldn’t get any worse,- they did! As we waited for the gold card to get approved, Harris County healthcare notified my husband that they were missing one document and that without it, he could not get approved. My husband asked what kind of document did he need and the case worker told him that the document was a tax or IRS document. My husband called the IRS and after explaining his dilemma, the people he spoke with replied: “We have no idea what they are talking about”. It was so frustrating that my husband gave up trying to reason with the case worker. Not long after, my husband became so ill that he was admitted to LBJ hospital. It was suppose to be for a day , but that day turned into a little over a week. While he was there, a case worker was assigned to him and my husband explained the issue with the gold card. The case worker immediately looked into the problem and before you knew it, he was approved for assistance! That was one less hurdle. My husband was able to finally receive treatment and his meds. Going home was suppose to be good, except for the fact that due to the 2 weeks on bed rest and 1 week in the hospital, we lost a lot of income. Not to mention, I lost a client. Suddenly the renewal of our lease became in vain because we would soon be evicted. My husband and I decided to move our belongings in storage, and we got a cheap motel room. The money I made from cleaning houses helped us get a room, and there were other times when we slept in our car. As time passed, my husband got help and stopped smoking, he lost weight, as his doctor recommended, and he took his meds regularly and he went to all of his doctor appointments. He was given oxygen tanks just in case he needed oxygen treatment. Slowly but surely he continued to get better and he began to work regularly. He has COPD, and asthma, so sometimes he may experience difficulty breathing, but for the most part he has been doing much better. We are still homeless, but we are still a hard working couple in our 50’s, playing catch-up, taking care of our health, and hoping to get on our feet so that we can make our little dream come true. A little tiny cabin on a hill, surrounded by nature. We don t want anything fancy. We just want the opportunity to live a simple, dignified life. My husband has tried to find an apartment for us to live in, but due to the recent eviction, it’s hard to get approved for another rental. It’s a blemish on his rental history, despite the fact that before he was ill, he was paying rent and bills on time, not to mention his car note and insurance. We have had to make many adjustments and living a super simple life. I even returned 2 pieces of jewelry that my husband gave me before he got ill. A set of pearls and a diamond bracelet was returned because I felt that the less we owed the better. I felt guilty having that jewelry knowing that he owed a balance. I much rather have a place to call my own and keep it simple. I pray that an angel answers our prayers to help us help ourselves, so that we can get on our feet and continue working hard. Whoever took the time to read our story, I’d like to thank you for your time and empathy.

I’m 37, disabled without assistance, can’t work or live on own, house is condemned

I have a neurological disorder (Non-24 Sleep-Wake Disorder) that makes it impossible to have a normal sleep cycle. I can’t work anymore and I now live with my dad. He’s poor and his house is condemned. All my clothes have mold and we have no laundry.

Long backstory:
I had been having bizarre sleeping patterns going all the way back into my childhood, that no insomnia or depression diagnosis nor medication could ever fix.I never got an answer from a doctor that explained my sleep problems.

Essentially, my body and brain think that a day is 25 hours long. If you pause on that fact for a second, what becomes clear is that my sleep schedule rotates around the clock in a never-ending cycle. This had been the case for me from the age of 10, but clinical research studies were few and far between for most of my life.

Then in the summer of 2011 I learned for the first time that my vague sleeping issue was in fact a disorder, although I didn’t yet know the full extent of the limitations it imposed. Which is why for years I kept thinking there would be some way for me to keep working, despite being fired every time I tried to do so. I mostly lived on an annuity until I was 20 ($1047 per month), which came from a court decision when I was little (my mother committed suicide in a hospital and a court found them responsible, granting settlements to each of my family members). I kept thinking I could dance around extreme sleep fluctuations and pull myself up from the ground by my bootstraps, but I only ever fell back on my annuity.

When I was 12, the cops would show up at my house, wake me up, and drive me to school (my dad was a welder and made an early exit to work at 4:30am). Those near-truancies — as well as all the successful truancies! — were a huge obstacle. There was also the despair of losing my mother at the age of 9, which was certainly an important aspect to all of my maladjustment, if not the most central factor.

But without a cop showing up at my house, I’d wake up around 5PM.

At 13, I was placed in an “alternative school” (aka a program for trouble makers and drug dealers). Most students would sail though the programs towards a diploma, being graded on video game scores, pick-up basketball games, and honest-to-god fantasy basketball gambling leagues (that I several times created for school credit!). I managed to graduate High School easily without my disability playing a major factor. It all felt like being home schooled but with no parents or curriculum to help. Hence why five years into a dedicated leftist education, I can still barely understand Marxist arguments around value theory.

It would still be 11 years from my graduation until I learned about my sleep disorder, so the following years would be spent tossing and turning, going to work and class after being up 24 hours, often crashing at hour 40, then sleeping 24 hours straight to make up for massive sleep deprivation. I’d get fired left and right, girlfriends and family members had no idea what to express to me other than their lack of faith that I could ever get my shit together (and I believed as much myself, because what other explanation was there?) By the age of 30, my body started to fall apart.

SO. Now I am disabled and keep getting rejected from disability (6 times now, but I’v hired a lawyer). Work is out of the question, so I moved in with my dad. He can’t afford to move, so we are stuck in his condemned house that our landlord refuses to fix. I a constantly sick and I find it impossible to move most days. I have PTSD and major depression as well, although no drug use beyond antidepressants.

I’m intelligent, I want to get involved in political organizing, I have plenty of hobbies, but I can’t make my body and mind fit within a 24 hour cycle.

Any money received will go towards:

-Rent and deposit so my father and I can move
-An exercise bike (I have agoraphobia)
-Clothing, blankets, sheets (all ruined from mold)
-Money to start micro business (I had a small record label once and would like to start up again, although this requires less money than most think)
-Dental work

My father is getting up there in age. If something were to happen to him, god forbid, I would be homeless. I just want to get my life back together alongside getting disability and section 8 housing.

NEWLYWEDS HITTING ROCK BOTTOM

Hello, My name is Sade.

My Airman and I got married last June and immediately moved to the mainland two days after our wedding. Everything since then has been extremely stressful money-wise.

FINANCIAL STRUGGLES
Thinking we’d have a home when we got here on base through the military, we arrived and found out we wouldn’t have a place to stay on base for for 3 months. We had to hurry and find a home in a week and a half span. The $600/month homes near the base were moldy, broken down and the location was in the middle of nowhere. The little town after that was a college town also busted up with multiple frat houses that have parties and it didn’t seem like a place to start a new life. We found a clean and safe area to live in with essential stores nearby, however we are now 50 miles away from the base paying way more than what the military provides when you live off base. We can barely keep up with our house, gas, utilities, water, etc. we slept on the floor of our new apartment for the first 5 months because we couldn’t even afford furniture. We’re going negative every single month. You might ask well, what do I do if my husband works? I’m finally able to do schooling. When I say finally, I mean its been a long wait. Right after High School, I worked for my own car, and paid for my own schooling to get my associates degree. I wanted to continue school so I took a year off to build money back up and worked 40+ hours a week. When I finally saved up the money on my own to go to school, I was proposed to. From that point on I knew no one was gonna pay for the wedding for me. I always dreamed of a beautiful wedding. My husband had a large family so I wanted to have an event to include everyone. Keep in mind I’m not saying my family refused to help me, its just they couldn’t. They didn’t have money themselves, and I wasn’t going to take money from my husbands family. So, all that school money went towards the wedding. My airman was in boot camp after the proposal and military men and women do not get paid well when they first start. Thankfully through the military I got a scholarship and was able to get into a school program for free. Currently I am almost finished, however we are on the verge of being completely broke. I feel the extra pressure lately. I sometimes regret not working so that I can focus on school. We really need the help desperately asap. anything helps. Its just been a straight hard path for us since being here theres so much weight on our shoulders and it kills me to see my airman cry about not having the money to take me out to dinner once in a while. I don’t really know what the result of this will be but I have to try. Thank you for listening.

Need Help Surviving

My mental health/PTSD has been stopping me from working and functioning and I haven’t been able to pay my bills. Flashbacks and depression has kept me from being able to do much other than focus on taking care of myself. I need to be able to afford therapy and the care I need so I can start working again and not have my mental health getting in the way of living my life. I just need the resources to be able to afford the care that I need and to pay my bills so I don’t become homeless.

I had an abusive and torturous childhood that I’m still trying to recover from. My dad was a child molester and severely abused me to the point where I developed PTSD. He went to prison and then I had to fully live with my white family members who hated my blackness. They were very racist to me and made me endure harsh conditions like living in a moldy room, beating me whenever it suited them, emotionally abusing me, etc. My childhood left big wounds that has made it hard for me to be able to function in the same way everyone else does. I need intensive treatment and help but the one thing that’s stopping me is money.

By all odds I’m still here and most people like me don’t make it to adulthood.

I’m a black trans man named Rowyn and I live in Indiana. It’s hard to exist in Indiana being black and trans with mental illness. I managed to graduate college last May but my mental health plunged very quickly after that. I just need help until I can help myself. Rent and bills are due really soon and if I don’t want to be kicked out of the place I’m living at now, I need help. I don’t want to become homeless or continue to not get the treatment that I need.

My rent is $540 and is due in 2 weeks. If I can’t get this paid I don’t have a place to live.

My utilities this month are around $115. This is due in a week so any help with this would be really appreciated.

For food and other living fees, $200 is usually what I use for food and other things around the house. I’m almost out of food. I go to the food banks but they’re not enough for me to completely eat all the meals that I need to.

For treatment for a month it’s going to cost around $500. Not including medications that I will probably need on top of that.

Anything seriously would help. Please consider donating to me – I just really need a chance.

Just a young woman running out of options

I want to be completely frank. I know there are people in way worst situations than I am. I am fortunate to have a roof over my head and a warm bed to sleep at night. Things were going great for me until they weren’t.

I am drowning in debt and live pay checks to pay checks. I have three jobs already and I am really trying to just focus on bettering myself. I am a student and I am so close to finishing! I am so broke though that I cannot even afford the $100 graduation fee. I am four classes away from finishing but I cannot afford tuition. Each class is about $1350 and I cannot afford that:( I already have student loans but because I struggled to pay for, I had to drop out for a while and now that I am trying to finish, and I AM SOOOO CLOSE, I cannot afford it. Most of my checks go to bills I have and the other for food and gas. I wear an outfit maybe 2-3 times a week because I cannot afford to buy anything new or used.

I started college and life was going great. I was loving the experience and my grades were great! Then something happened and I just could not focus. I started working and juggling both school and work was so hard for me. Its extremely hard for me to focus when I do homework. What takes someone 30 minutes it takes me almost 2 hours. I cannot help it but I am a slow learner and my focus is easily distracted. This lead to a really low point in my life. I’ve suffered from depression for a while and I am trying really hard to see the positive things in my life. I don’t want to take medication so I try all the natural things but as we know, to be healthy here in America, it can cost a fortune.

I just want to feel a bit of relief, to know things are going to get better, that I will finish school, get a good job, pay off debts, and do a little traveling. I want to know that I can afford health coverage and that one day I can take care of my parents when they no longer can take care of themselves. I feel that if I can finish school, things will get better. If I can get rid of some of my debt and can afford healthy food.

I am currently $17k in debt, half is school loans and the other is debt that has kept me from being homeless. Anything will help. I just feel like I’m running out of options, I already have 3 jobs, I recycle cans that people leave out, I am desperate for anything job that can fit my schedule but not enough time in the day:( I hope I can get back on my feet and not drown in this hopelessness. If you are reading this, I hope the very best for you and eternal happiness.

Increasing seizures and holiday scammers

A couple of months back my dear old mother, who I live with, just us two as her husband and my father passed and I was younger. We don’t have contact with the rest of her family anymore.

She is the sweetest most intelligent funniest goofiest Woman you could ever know with quite the Pedigree and her masters at a private college.

As of Late has become increasingly difficult financially for the two of us in terms of her aging (but an inspiring kindred spirit) and dealing with intermittent periods of unemployment

Partially due to the fact of a bit of age discrimination it’s hard for her to get jobs despite the fact she has twice the experience of those people applying for positions she is well overqualified for

she’s a sweet woman with the best of intentions but her sense of paying attention to detail and recalling things will slowly fade for her

she recently I’ve been scammed by someone who had come to her under the guise of a mechanic at the shop that we usually go to

As I was not particularly involved in this whole situation

A night or 2 prior her car had broken down on the side of the highway and she was unable to afford a tow, he promised to tow it for her, now that’s 2 for 2 as Additionally

My car was also out of commission as my starter was broken and he said that he would fix that as well

He ended up Putting a broken part in my car receiving the rest of the payment for a previous brake job my mom got at the shop he had been employed at and took it for himself never gave her ignition key back never told her car

Leading to it getting towed and has been completely out of options as she used the very last of her money to try and save our employment situations by making it possible for us to get to and from

(Her job involves helping the community and seeing her clients at their homes or at her office all throughout the day sometimes 2030 minutes apart in destinations)

In the end, she ended up taking my car To another shop to get it fixed paying full price while her car was in an impound lot with no way to afford to get it out keep in mind she had to tow it from the impound lot to a shop all the while she couldn’t get inside because the scammer had left with her keys and all the money she gave him

This was three days before Christmas

As for lack of my involvement financially it’s due to a recent string of seizures and medical issues that he began to arise and have yet to be totally resolved

I went from grand mal seizures (once while driving) to partial complex seizures, dealing with hypoglycemia and severe panic attacks with no real way to offer as much support as I would’ve loved to

The days in between going to my neurologist and dealing with different health issues the restaurant business gets very very slow in the winter

Ranging from about $20 a day to 70 maybe 80 a day and being shorted scheduling wise (with understandable justifications)

Working the early part-time every day the very little I had I’d end up using for toilet paper or paper towels or dog food which is another struggle of itself The tide is just been rising in my usual “yin and yang” philosophy towards life and understanding that everything will resolve itself and time incorrectly I slowly been fading into a more jaded attitude. Rent, car insurance (that’s recently skyrocketed due to the neighborhood we recently moved to,any bit of food to eat or gas for transportation to our jobs that we so desperately need and want has been like finding a needle in a haystack.

Be that it is as it may Life continues as it always does but limited resources, family, and medical restrictions have led me here and I think anyone for even taking the time to read my poor sap of the story they only do the anonymous person reading this I’m usually much funnier and this was even a drag for me to write assuming I haven’t totally run a dark cloud and severe rain over your hopefully positive day

It would mean absolutely everything to me if anyone could help no Amount too small

Not a microsecond of your time spent reading this goes unappreciated. I am humbling looking for anything between $10 to $1300 to get us back on our feet.

And if humans aren’t your thing, my blue nose pitbull puppy, old man jenkins (8 year old yorkie) and cherub of a cat would appreciate it dearly.

All the love to you Anonymous reader, Godspeed

I chose to stay home with my children, foregoing my career, and now not eligible for SSDI😢

Hello,
I never thought I would have to ask a stranger for money but I am so incredibly grateful for this site and even more grateful for people like you who want to help.

A little bit about me…I am 55 years old. I have a chronic pain illness which makes it difficult to work, actually, impossible. I am divorced and a mother of two daughters. 23 and soon to be 21. They are wonderful people and my greatest accomplishment.

I chose to stay at home and raise them, giving up my career. I do not regret that decision yet. because of that decision I am not eligible to collect disability due to the fact I haven’t enough work history. I did work from age 14 to 35 but that doesn’t count because they, SSDI, only go back ten years.

I was able to live on child support and although we went without many things, I was able to give them a wonderful home filled with lots of love💕. I was at every game and there for every cold, milestone and even heartaches.

I suffer from major depressive disorder and anxiety disorder but worked through these with a smile on my face for their sake. When they became adults, child support ended. Of course they still lived with me as they were college students. I didn’t know what to do as my major panic attacks occurred when I was working and a fear of work developed. It was a paralyzing fear. I know that seems strange but it does exist, it is called ergophobia.

I did the only thing I could do, I applied for disability and I had the support of my psychiatrist and many therapists. I was denied, the appeal judge actually told me “ You present yourself too well”. I am intelligent, articulate and educated. The judge should have known mental health illnesses are not visible. Anyway, I was denied. Fast forward a year and I got a job. I was there for fifteen months and spent two three month periods out on short term disability because I suffered physical problems brought on by stress. When my last short term disability was ending, my doctor and I decided it would be best for me not to return. I was feeling better physically not working until I developed fibromyalgia, believed to be brought on by the severe stress I was under trying to work. That was over a year ago. In that time. family and my ex-husband have been helping me financially but they cannot continue to do so and I cannot continue to put them in the situation of me asking.

So, here I am with no income and no options for receiving help for my disability. My fibromyalgia causes me pain everyday. Some days I cannot get out of bed and days that I can, I try to do things that need to be done which only leaves me suffering more for the next two to three days. It is not a way to live. My doctor and I have not yet found the right medication or mix of medications to work.

I really do not know what I am going to do to support myself. Which brings me to the present and why I am asking you, a complete stranger, to please consider helping me.

I am a good person; kind, thoughtful, appreciative, funny, loving, honest. I love football and hockey, sorry I am a New England fan😊 , photography, the beach and mountains, anything in nature. I have a fondness for trees, I think they are beautiful. I love animals, especially dogs because they show such unconditional love. I am just a normal good hearted person.

I woke this morning to no heat. I have no milk. My bank account is overdrawn. It is getting bad.

Please consider helping me live the life I have left in some comfort financially. I do not want to be a burden to my daughters who are just starting out in their own lives. They deserve better than that.

I appreciate the time you have given me while reading this and wish you well,

Terri C

Single Young Mother Severely in need!

Everything started six months ago when I thought that I was ready to date again after my sons father after being together since high school. I found myself on those typical dating apps and I matched with a very handsome man. he told me all about his past. And it wasn’t pretty. But I was always taught that I shouldn’t judge someone by their past because the past doesn’t always define a person. (it was also easier for me to understand because I too had grown up in the childhood of neglect and trauma I was taken for adoption twice put through foster systems and became ward of the state along with my little sister ) when I heard about his past yeah it was dark but I didn’tThink it was something no one could over come. he told me he was over two years sober and we went out a few times and started today and that’s when things basically went downhill from there.

He needed a place to stay that was a safe environment for his daughter. Being the kind hearted people that we were we let him in. living with my best friend and her son and my son as well. And not long after that mental and emotional abuse started he wanted to take over every part of my life trackers on my phone who my friends were which family members I could talk to anything he could possibly control He would control. that’s also about the same time that the physical abuse and life threats started as well I won’t go into much detail about that.

That’s when then accusation starting i was accused of everything under the sun and when nothing came of that that’s with the threats and physical situation would a rise. Later on we found out that he had a relapse and didn’t say anything and also had severe mental disorders that we weren’t aware of . I was terrified I finally had the courage to get out of it I had to call the cops in and things got worse from there. he ended up getting as many credit cards and checking accounts as he could through or relations and the whole time right under my nose and I have no idea. and so my credit is horrible can’t qualify for even a dollar he stole it All even my rent money and my savings everything was gone at that point after he got arrested I was staying in a hotel because his bail was still allowing him to be able to get out and I was able to get two night Voucher from the state which so far has been the only help I could get….which was nice until I wasn’t able to come up with rent fast enough and I lost my place to live and if that wasn’t the worst part. Went to stay with a family friend and we ended up getting the house broken into by two guys at gunpoint basically trying to scare us as much as a could police informed us that my ex had been Gang affiliated and they had an issue with us being subpoenaed to court so I got kicked out of there I’ve been staying in a hotel and maxing the one working Credit card that I have Left filing for every possible grant financial assistance that I can anything that I could get my hands on just nothing has been coming back. now I am fighting my ex husband for more time with my son because he thinks that my mental stability is going downhill because of all of the stress I’m under trying to make ends meet and to be honest he’s Mostly right.

I’ve lost almost everything that I’ve worked so hard for over a relationship that lasted six months and ended with him being served with five felonies and one misdemeanor that’s all it took to destroy my life and on top of that my physical health is also deteriorating I find it hard to walk and eat or to do any normal every day activities without assistance still trying to figure out what’s going on I know part of it is probably my mental status but some of it is also physical as well.Anything that I can say is that I’m happy that my son never got to see you never had to witness or hear I’ll be put in the middle and that’s something that I think God for every day I reached out to almost everything that I could possibly think of and now I have you guys. Anything helps thank you

Mother of 6 trying to save my husbands life

Hello,

my urgent request is not normal and one that will get looked over b plenty. You see my husband has been a self medicating man for over 20 years. Yes, he’s a drug addict. However, he wants and need so bad to get clean. He has been clean before and stayed and remained the best person I’ve ever met. He has also been at the very bottom. I’ve seen him lie dead in a hospital for weeks. I’ve also seen him build a house from the ground up with his bare hands and give everything he’s ever had to a man with nothing more then a blanket. He is the most amazing father and an outstanding human. He is a God fearing man! My high school sweetheart.
Because of his drug addition he has been in and out of jail. About almost 2 years ago he hit rock bottom, and got caught with a lot of drugs. We fought long and hard. They wanted to send him away for 16 years. Mind you he was never a seller only a user. The judge ask me come up there to be his character witness. I knew I had to. I have to fight for his life. I walked up there in front of a ton of people and just spilled my heart out about our trials and tribulations. About our family, about all 6 of our beautiful children, about his perfect ways he’s became a great father without having one. About how I’ve been with him 21 years and lived most of my life with only my children. How I haven’t “legally” married him because I wasn’t the main love of his life. About how I would give anything if I could have his last name. I told them how every time he had been in trouble was only because of drugs. How about he had been sent to 9 prisons and each time it worked for a few days and he’s go right back. I looked up and asked her for just this time could she please take my children and I’s heart into this one. If she would she would allow him to come home on drug treatment and get rid of the problem so that the crimes would stop. When I looked up the judge and the entire courtroom was crying. The judge said this is it Jennifer, this is his last chance. Then she looked at me and said honey, this is your last time too. My husband (fiancé) was facing 16 years that day and the judge sent him home in a house arrest bracelet for 8 years. She said he had to complete rehab and stay in recovery the entire time. My husband was released from prison n 9/24/19. On Jan 4, 2020 he was arrested. He had been clean almost 2 years by this day. He was on his way to work when he got pulled over. The truck he had just got a month earlier off a “friend” was stolen. He was taken into custody and given a $500 bond and also 3 $250 bonds for violating his probation. My best friend, the love of my life, my everything is setting in the county jail right now. Facing 16-20 years over something he didn’t know about. Because of his past they fail to believe the facts about the truck was given to us on payments.
today is Friday morning 2:48am. I can’t sleeps I haven’t slept in 2 nights. The judge told us he could pay $1250.00 and go home, go to rehab, then mental health and stay clean IF it was paid by Monday January 13th. That left me with 2 days. I just paid our rent and put a little bit of food in the house for our kids. We don’t have any friends and family anymore. I have no way to get help. He doesn’t deserve this. I’m asking if anyone out there can help me pay his bail of $1250.00? I don’t want to be the reason he can’t come home over $1250.00. I will never live that down. How I wasn’t able to come up with it in time and how he’s spending his life behind bars because I have no one to help. My husband has been clean and will remain clean. We just want him back home with us. His bail has to be paid by tomorrow at 4:30pm before the court house closes I have $250, I just need $1000 more. And that’s with every single penny we have. If anyone anywhere could help me so fast I, my children, my husband, WE WILL FOREVER BE GRATEFUL FOR YOU. We will love you for our lives. We will keep you updated with his progress’s We will never forget the random act of kindness that another human gave us and allowed us to give our children a great life with mom & dad. And so I can at almost 40, steal this mans last name for the rest of my life. And most imposing we can start the first day of the rest of our new lives together. Without fear or judgement. And prove to everyone this is how we will live! Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. Praying for us will help. God can show up at any time. So if that’s all you got we will take it. Again, thank you, and please consider us if you have the extra money. You have no idea the amount of gratitude we have! Thank you so much,

Student loans are going to garnish my wages

MY STUDENT LOANS IS THREATENING TO TAKE LEGAL ACTION AND GARNISH MY WAGES.

I’m nervous. I’ve never felt so nervous. I’m wracking my brain how to do this.

In 2010 I was excited to start my journey graduating with a degree from Full Sail University. I moved to New Orleans months before my 21st birthday and started my career. Things got out of hand quickly. I left, stayed with my parents and tried very hard to pay it off. I had two loans. The other loans is done. I went back to school in 2015 and was told that my loans with be put into deferment while I was in school and that was a blessing. I was under the impression that it would be while I was back in school, but that was not the case. For private student loans, deferment is temporary. Thus I was trying to pay it off as best I could but it was too much of a burden. The interest that had accrued during that time added so much to my balance and the monthly payment rose. Currently I’m on a payment plan to pay $516 a month for 12 months to keep me on track. However, I’m barely making it by. I had to quit school. I’m looking for another job. I need to make sure this is paid. My credit is ruined and on top of it all they’re considering legal action to take the money from my wages.

I’m not without fault. I accept my part in the lack of financial planning that has led me to this unfortunate circumstance. I’m aware that my hard work will pay off and I promise I wouldn’t be on this website if I just didn’t know what else to do.

I pray every day that I find the way to pay this loan back and get it out of my life. That career is over and it still haunts me. I just want to move on without it in my life so I can start over and live again. I’m nervous that this might never happen for me.

If someone kind enough to help me get back on track could please help me out. I can’t ask for all of it, but even a little bit helps.

Thank You to any one who will help and I pray that your generosity will bring blessings upon you.

When I screw up, I use my own screwdriver!!!

Four years ago, I didn’t have insurance on my car. I struggled to make things happen when I found out my mother was very ill. I sacrificed time & talent. Bent over backwards to take care of my family. But I still struggled. I got caught and screwed up. I got a ticket. SMH :-( I didn’t pay it and got caught again doing, I don’t know…hence another ticket. Damn! I lost my job of 5 years.

Thinking I’d just keep a low profile, I only drove at night, back-roads, to odds & ends jobs. I took off the state tabs because they repeat the colors anyway. I was pretty golden. I landed a job…of all places working at a car rental company. Two weeks at the job, about to earn a really good check for the week, WHAM! My car breaks down in -4 degree weather. Slightly getting frost bitten waiting for someone to rescue me at 4 AM, I get home 3 HOURS later. I was so cold.

OK, I’ll rent a car. My license showed still good, not expired yet. WHAM! My wages are garnished. Now all those hours, all that money, gone to pay back debtors from 1994 and mind you this is 2017 :o Several hundreds of dollars later, my license gets suspended but my coworkers let me slide by not checking my ID & I keep renting until I can get my car fixed. WHAM! We become homeless. My daughter, on the brink of depression & suicide, blames herself.

After being homeless for 2 years, filing bankruptcy, living in & out of hotels & peoples couches (so my daughter could still attend the same school), running out of money-gas-food-sleep-depression-on the brink of suicide myself, luck finally comes back & we find a “forever home”. Not too big, not too small. A manufactured single wide, 29 years old for rent to own $925/month. OK, I’ll sacrifice & we’ll get through. We sleep on air mattresses for the first month. then blessings start coming: Bedroom items. Dining room table. Rocking chairs. Pots & pans. Dishes. Food. Safety. No feeling of gotta leave by 7 am. It was a sense of Amen.

I earn a well deserved vacation end of September 2019. I’m sitting outside on our deck late in the evening; I decided to go to the store & get dinner ready. Walk in the house to get my purse & tell my daughter what I wanted for dinner…. WHAM! My car gets repossessed. Calling all attorneys, BlackHawk Recovery, Credit Acceptance…$4,000 & you can get it back (its 15 years old, needs ALOT of work, and has 220k miles). Sorrow sets in. Vacation turned into a stay-cation with a big depressed face. How will my daughter get home from school (she does dual enrollment & college doesn’t provide transportation to & fro). OK, lets try to rent a car & bust my a$$ for getting a new car. WAIT!!! My license! Okay, bust my a$$, get license, get another car. I can do this. WHAM! I get hurt & the pain is severe; herniated discs in my neck, spine, and sciatica pinched nerves. But I cannot miss work, I just can’t, too much was at stake. Worker’s Comp: DENIED. Insurance pays: DENIED. Co-pay: $7,495 MRI patient responsible. Time to play catch-up. 50-60 hours a week; split-shifts; round-the-clock shifts: RENT>PHONE>INTERNET>UTILITIES>>>L.I.C.E.N.S.E.S!!!!>>>>>RENTAL CAR? Dang! Then it happens…..

My coworker tells on me. I do not have a valid license. I scramble to get them with that last bonus check of October, darn that was going to be used to get ahead on rent cause Thanksgiving & Christmas is coming up. I take the whole check to pay those tickets & get my license so my job don’t find out. Awe crap, the bosses are moving in on my deception. I file for short-term disability. WHAM! My phone gets cut off & I cannot call my absences into work. WHAM! I lose my job.

I filed for unemployment. DENIED. I filed for rental assistance. DENIED. Now I’m struggling…no car (cannot rent anymore), live in a rural area with NO bus transportation, and now NO MONEY; can’t use Uber or Lyft. I start robbing Peter to pay Paul. I negotiate with every bill I know & have. I apply for more assistance. Its a WAITING GAME & I’m failing fast.

December 2nd, letter comes to my door, you are hereby summoned for court failure to pay rent. You must appear December 19th. I enter a default judgement because I cannot get to court. I have 10-days to pay or vacate. Please, please, please, don’t do this to us. Please help! The holidays gave me grace. The lawyer says they probably will file the writ after the 2nd or 3rd of January.

I reach out to all organizations from here to Timbuckto0. I call people who helped previously. I’m single, scared, and facing homelessness again. Every car door, every bump in the night, every phone call scares us to where we can’t sleep that the court officers are coming. I haven’t followed up with my doctor’s appointments since November for lack of transportation. We have no local laundromat & no w/d inside our home. Our house looks like a bomb went off. I was blessed with food stamps for 1/2 of November, all of December but being desperate, I sold my stamps.

We have limited areas for food pantries via foot. My daughter sacrifices not eating by saying she’s not hungry when I know that she is. She takes pills for her headaches & we struggle to find money for school lunch. She has a good friend who doesn’t charge her for gas for rides home. And sometimes this 16 year old boy will take her to McDonald’s for a chicken sandwich on the $1 menu. He doesn’t work :-( He has no money. He’s that small blessing for her sanity.

Now, the court officers are coming cause my borrowed time is up. Please I need help. Listing of desperation: Rent w/fees $3350 (to stay put); Sprint $549; DTE $281; Comcast/Internet $305….TOTAL NEEDED: $4485. To Keep Me Ahead: $5410. Credit cards are maxed out; local hotels that are reasonable, I have balances with them.

Please, please, please, help my family. No car this time, being evicted would devastate my daughter & probably bring me to my end :(

Desperate, in need of help for my family.

https://paypal.me/MorenoDaniel?locale.x=en_US

Hello,

I’m really desperate and using this website as a last resource, I live in Dallas Texas, things are not really going well for me and my family this last couple of years, I am not the type of person that likes or wants things for free, in fact I currently do have a job but is getting harder to meet ends, until recently I had small house but I finally lost it to foreclosure a few months ago, my wife lost her job due to recession and hard economy times, also my car was repossessed last year because I couldn’t afford to make payments anymore, what I make is not really enough, it hardly covers for basic things like food, rent and bills, my kids had no Christmas last year, I had to pay the rent late for December and doing it again in January and now my landlord told if it happens again I will have to give up the place and move somewhere else; about 4 years ago I had a terrible car accident, effected my left lung and my heart, a year ago I was diagnosed with extreme depression and chronic anxiety disorder, I been on the emergency room more than once due this condition (thank God for my work insurance) and now I’m under treatment and heavy medication to control the attacks, due to this as much as I wish I could get a second job, I can’t, my body doesn’t let me, I tried working extra hours but I end up getting sent home by my boss because he can see me getting sick really quick and they don’t want to have to call the emergency services again like before; my 15 year old daughter was recently diagnosed with severe Scoliosis and needs to wear a special body cast and not sure if insurance covers for it, if doesn’t not sure where I’m going to get the money from to get what she needs, my 9 year old was born with Pectus Excavatum and its in constant medical control as this is can affect his heart and may need surgery on the near future; I have life insurance at work and I had the idea once or twice to commit suicide so my family can claim the money and get a better life, however I found out it does not count for the claim, has to be natural or accidental death, or maybe if I purposely loose and arm or a leg so I can get some money of the insurance? I don’t know, I’m talking non sense here but I’m really desperate with my family situation…look, all I want is for someone to help me out get back on my feet, I’m not interested in luxuries, just be able to meet ends with no worries, keep working hard for my family and my kids future, secure a roof over their heads and a meal on the table, please don’t judge me for coming here and begging for help, I’m just desperate and don’t know what else to do, thank you for all your kindness and warm heart.

Temporary Financial Difficulties

I am looking for help to pay off my credit card debt and current bills that are coming in as well as past-due bills. Totaling to an estimate of $13,600.00 (Not including the Cervical Facet Injections). My family and I have recently moved back home (Hawai’i) from Arizona. We’ve maxed out our credit cards and exhausted all of our savings to get here. The cost of living is quite higher than in Arizona and thought we had enough to survive for 6 months. Boy, was I wrong; we lasted for 1 month.

I suffer from PTSD and get panic attacks and anxiety from a work accident almost 3 years ago. I visited Hawai’i 2 years ago and noticed that my anxiety level was at an all-time low and I had not gotten any panic attacks! My other half suffered from a work-related car accident (not at fault) and got hit by a dumpster truck last year. All that was given for treatment from worker’s compensation was 13 sessions of physical therapy and pain medication. His treating doctor requested cervical facet injections for treatment. He has not been able to get that done yet because of our financial situation.

I am currently working minimum wage and my other half has just started a new job. We will use any funds to pay off our credit cards, past due bills, and upcoming bills until we can get back on our feet.

We are strong believers of karma and try to give to others in need as much as possible. We aren’t the type to ask for help, however, I don’t see an end to this financial hole that we have found ourselves in. Any extra funds that may be added to this account will go towards medical bills that we may incur for the cervical facet injections.

We have three children, only one that is underage that lives with us. Our other two sons stayed in AZ. Although we live in such a beautiful state, we feel as if the walls are closing in on us.

We’ve never done this before and a little embarrassed to have to ask for help. We are honest people and would never ask for help if not absolutely necessary. We have fallen on tough times and have always figured things out and got through it. This time is different and we are both trying our hardest to get back on track and hopefully there is someone out there that sees that.

Help Me Start Over with the Love of My Life

My name is Lawrence Trivisone (Larry) and my fiance is Mariane Pasiona (Yhan). We are asking for $20,000.

$10,000 to eliminate my debt in the US.
$10,000 to begin a new life in her country, the Philippines.

First let me start by saying that Yhan and I understand that there are an infinite number of causes on this site that deserve your attention and donations more than ours. Quite frankly we would not be doing this if we felt like there was any other way to raise these funds in any realistic time frame. We ,nor our families, have ever made much money. And saving money has always been difficult for us. We only ask that you consider helping us with any amount you can. No donation is too small or insignificant.

My Debt:

I am a 35 year old IT Engineer in Greenville, SC. I moved here about a year ago from Atlanta, GA. I made the move in order to reduce expenses in the hopes that I would be able to save money and eliminate debt. While that move did relieve some of the financial stress, I am still just scraping by, and some debt is catching up with me.

I am staring down about $10,000 in debt. This includes:

An eviction from about 2 years ago when I was living in Atlanta due to an ex skipping out on me that totals to about $3,700. (She wasn’t on the lease)
A personal loan from my bank that totals to about $2,700.
3 credit cards that total to about $3,000.

Have I made financial missteps? Yes I have. Have I learned from them? Absolutely!

Our New Life:

Yhan and I met on the Facebook Dating app and knew that we had found something special immediately. We knew from the moment we had our first video chat that we had to be together. She is truly the love of my life and I am so happy and grateful to have met her. She is my light, my strength, my sun by day, and my moon and stars by night. Despite her knowing that I have little to nothing, and us being a world apart, I asked Yhan to marry me. She ecstatically said yes and we plan to get married as soon as I am able to get to her.

Once we are married we do not plan on returning to the US for sometime, if ever, as life is much simpler in the Philippines and we both prefer that kind of lifestyle. This money will benefit us greatly in starting a new life together and creating the stability we will need to do so. Especially during the first 6-7 months that I will spend becoming a permanent resident of the Philippines. Once I am a permanent resident I will be able to take advantage of job opportunities available to English speaking residents in the nations IT industry.

As a reference; The exchange rate from USD to Philippine Peso is $1 -> 50 pesos. So $10,000 USD is equivalent to 500,000 pesos. This is a very modest amount of money to start a new life in the Philippines and provide the security Yhan and I will need.

The money you donate will be used to:

1. Cover fees for getting to and becoming a permanent resident of the Philippines. (this includes any Visas, Visa renewals, applications, transactions, marriage fees, and/or other processes involved. About $3,000 or 150,000 pesos.)

2. Provide monetary support while working through that process. (this would include a budget for rent, food, and transportation. About 5,500 pesos per month for 6 to 7 months equals 38,500 pesos or $770.)

3. The remaining funds will provide a foundation for Yhan and I to start our life together once I start work and can begin building upon that. ($5,000 to $6,000 or about 250,000 to 300,000 pesos.)

We are deeply in love and want to be together as soon as we can be. We are two very simple people. We do not need much to live or to be happy. We do not desire much. We are asking for help to get over this hurtle so that we can have the only thing we both truly want in this life more than anything else. To be together.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read our story. We hope you find it in your heart to help us anyway you can.

Eternally Grateful,

Larry and Yhan

I’m just trying to get my foot in the door.

Hello, my name is Heather Hill, and I’m a single mother. I own my house in Detroit where i care after my 8 year old son Amiree (ameer). I’ve been trying best, for the past 9 years, to singlehandedly keep a roof over our heads.
It’s been really, and I’ve been reaching to programs for several years with no luck. Currently, I reside in my vehicle with limited gas, and my son has currently been kidnapped by his noncustodial parent, because my utilities has been shut off. I’ve applied for a SER with DHS for emergency utility payment and restoration, but even with copay assistance from st. Vincent de Paul, I still fell short $600 in that situation alone.
My house also needs emergency repairs that has triggered my asthma related health issues. I was recently able to get a tarp put on my roof to partially stop the leaks, but as of now, it’s completely shredded. Also, the people who lived here before me has comprised the main drain in my basement with cement, which caused my basement to flood frequently; which subsequently caused me to lose everything that I ever owned.
The standing water in the basement has caused severe mold growth in a few rooms of my house. Now that the water has been emptied and the destroyed pipe has been isolated and exposed, it’s now all a matter of funding the cut and replacement of the pipe.
The only plumbing that’s functional in our home is our bathtub, which is disconnected from the drains in the basement. Because of the moisture levels and leaks inside of the house, I’ve had several serious electrical fires, and I now plugs and light fixtures that no longer function. I currently have 3 working plugs, and 1 working light (when i had electricity), which are all on the same line.
After purchasing our new home, i had 2 break-ins, and 1 break-in attempt. The 2 break-ins left 2 windows broken out that are now boarded up, a stolen side door that is now boarded up, a stolen hot water heater, a stolen kitchen sink, and some personal items that were also taken.
My son and I share a twin sized mattress that we sleep on in the living room. The living room is the only room with the least amount of damage.
More recently, our only mode of transportation has a gas leak that prevents me from filling the tank more than half way. And even with that, gas still sometimes spill out upon acceleration. Then my two front brakes decided to give me to separate issues with one being an entirely missing set of brake pads on the front passenger side. The driver side has an underlying problem that keeps getting misdiagnosed.
I have a plan, and I have goals. I just can’t seem to break even, so i can build for my son and I. Everything else that follows is easy, but my biggest issues starts at home. My son has kept good spirits about our situation, but i want him to be to enjoy being a child while he still can.
Any help that you can offer would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for your time.

Homeless at 20

(I really suck at writing but I’m gonna try my best to voice my situation.)

hey I’m Sara I’m 20 years old. At 15 I got involved with CPS cause of neglect in the home and that’s really when my story started, at 16 CPS thought I definitely needed to be removed from my home and I went into a group home at first I didn’t like being away from my old house but then as I was away I saw why I needed to get out. I wasn’t really living in that home more then surviving. So I just started my life in the system. Lots of hard times came my way but I was learning to have a better way of life. Even though my home situation wasn’t good and cause of the system you changed group homes ever 6-12 months I lived at my first group home at 16-17 then aged out cause it was for 13-17 year olds then went to another group home from 17-18 and then aged out of the children’s system of care which was the organization that I was part of and put into the adolescence housing. But not a lot of places worked for my case so I couldn’t find a place to go, for a while I was house hoping(going from friend to friend but each place I could only stay for a couple days or like 2 weeks at most cause people had there own life) and my case worker then told me about a couple places and that’s when I found out of a place called covenant house (a homeless shelter for young adults ages 18-22) for emergency housing they accepted me right away due to the high demands of the program I had to agree right away. It actually helped me get back on my feet and save money for when I am ready to leave. But most of the time you can only stay there for about 3 months give or take. But I was qualified for the covenant house group home. So I was at the homeless shelter for 3 months then transferred to the group home which I was more used to and there was way less people there. But some stuff happened and my mental health took the best of me. And I had lost my place at the group home. But so I could of maybe gone back to the group home once I got better but somehow I couldn’t go back to any covenant houses in my state anymore and so that’s off the table. But now I am looking for some help in getting my own place cause I am aging out of the whole system at 21 and I’ll be on my own I have barely anything saved up due to paying for my own expenses. This is where I start to suck at voicing my need cause I don’t like asking for specific amount of money cause any amount will help! But the place I am looking at is a room for about 600$ a month, once I get back on my feet so like get a job or two and start to save my money so about 2-3 months I give my self to get on my feet and have money saved up. So I’m asking for help for about 3 months worth of rent so about 1800$

Losing our place to live!

Hello! First of all I want to start out by saying this is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. I don’t do well asking for help, especially asking strangers for help. I also want to say to those of you that give… the world definitely needs more heros like you. Before sending this message I prayed to God to give me the words to ask for help. You see, the reason I had to pray is again, I’m just not very good at asking for help. I’m the one that generally gives, but I am at a place in my life where I, well my husband and I need help. We have been together since 7th & 8th grade (1983) and were married in December 1988. We just celebrated our 31st anniversary and we are so blessed! God has blessed us with 3 beautiful daughters ages 26, 23 and 22. Our greatest blessing yet is our 5 year old grandson that is nothing short of perfect. My husband and I have always been very outgoing and hard workers. Both of us having jobs since the 6th grade. My husband actually graduated with his Bachelors degree in education and then he got his Masters in Educational Administration in one year. Let me just say.. That was one of the craziest years ever, because we had 3 young ones under the age of 4 years old. It was worth it, as those are some of the best memories and I wouldn’t have changed a thing. My husband went on to teach and coach for several years. Those were also very rewarding years because we had many parents tell us their child would not have graduated if not for my husband’s influence on their child. I have worked the last 24 years in the insurance industry until 5 years ago when health problems became so chronic and severe I was unable to work. Unfortunately during this same time my husband has had many health problems as well. Since having the physical issues we both are now suffering awful depression and anxiety because we just feel broken and like we have let down the ones we love because we can’t do what we used to do.

Well, I will get to the point for my post. My husband and I having been struggling pretty bad financially since 2015. We had to live with one of our daughters for 6 months and that just about killed me because I am supposed to be the supporter not need. Well my husband found a job working part-time and we were able to find a roommate situation that worked perfect with the little money he is bringing home. But at least it was a place to live so our girls didn’t have to worry about us. Well.. Just last week we were told the place we are living is going to be sold and we have to be out by February 1st. We have not told our girls yet because we did not want to worry them any sooner than necessary. Unfortunately with the amount my husband has been bringing home with rent and groceries we have not been able to save anything, let alone enough to come up with to move in 1 month. Unfortunately, because of the financial problems our credit is terrible and getting a place is going to be hard and it just makes me so sad that my girls are going to have to worry about Mom and Dad again. I’m not sure if anyone will see this or read it, but I pray that you do. If you are not able to help financially if you would just pray for us I would appreciate it so very much. I know God will always provide.

Well thank you for reading my story and God Bless.

74 Year Old Lady Struggling to Pay Off $29K

Hello, Everyone!

I would appreciate at least a dollar from everyone to help me paying off my $29K debt so I could rent my own place in 7 months from today. I tried finding a job but many places aren’t interested in hiring an old lady like me, also being hearing-impaired. I know they are not supposed to discriminate age after all. I thought here to ask at least a dollar so I could pay off to be able to live on my own.

Bless your heart if you care enough to send me a dollar or more whatever you feel convenient.

Please kindly send your donation to:
