College student in medical debt

I’m a first year student at a small college and I’m in dire need of financial assistance for my medical bills. During the winter I fainted as a result of hypothermia, (I couldn’t afford proper winter clothing, I got a few things from Goodwill) an ambulance was called and I was taken to the ER. There I was put through a series of tests including a CT scan to determine if I suffered any brain damage from hitting my head, thankfully I didn’t.

I was released after several long and confusing hours. What I wasn’t prepared for was the bills. They started pouring in a couple months afterwards. I managed to pay off a radiology bill ($360) in full but I still have others to pay and it is overwhelming. I’m on a work-study program but I don’t make nearly enough to pay of my bills and I’m trying my best. My parents are unable to help me because they don’t have expenses to take care of, I have three younger siblings and with the pandemic going on, money is scarce.

I’m the oldest and the first in my immediate family to go to college, the last thing I wanted when starting college was to be a financial burden on my family because I know how hard we have it. That’s why I worked hard to get my scholarship and do work-study to support myself. But with everything going on I’ve begun to feel helpless. My bills come to a sum of $2,168, any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

College student in need for some financial help

Hey, everyone!

My name is Ann and I’m an international student. I’m studying healthcare management and business and will be graduating next Spring. With the pandemic going on, it has become really hard to pay for all the college bills and live normally. I worked for the school, however, they had to fire many students due to the virus. As an international student, I am only allowed to work for school. Unfortunately, my parents live overseas, and currently, I cannot go home. For the last couple of months, I have been using my savings account, and that’s slowly disappearing. A friend of mine told me about this website, thus I’ve decided to try it out here and see if someone is willing to help me out. I am a hard worker and an honest person who is not used to asking for help and hates it, even more, to ask for financial help, yet the situation that I am in has forced me to do so.

Some of my daily bills include rent, gas, groceries, phone, and health/car insurance payments. My monthly rent payment is $620, gas is usually about $30-$50, groceries $150, a phone bill is $44, health insurance is $36, and car insurance is $50. And now I also have to do some car repairments and A/C fix, which supposedly will cost me about $550. I would be able to pay all of this if I had a chance to continue working at the school. This has been an extremely stressful period in my life and I only need some financial help to drop some stress and not worry about missing a payment.

As I had mentioned earlier, I hate asking for financial help, however, at this point I can’t survive unless I get any financial support. I would appreciate and be grateful for any help anyone of you could offer. I am more than sure that better times are ahead for all of us. And I know this is only a minor setback in my life, cause from here it will only go up. However, for now, please help me out and donate some money if you wish to do something good today. I promise it will be only used to cover my bills and drop the financial burden I am currently in.

I strongly believe there are good people out there who are willing to spare some money for a good cause!

Thank you so much in advance!

Sincerely,

Ann

Financial hardships and abuse survivor

A few months ago I left an abusive relationship and I stayed in a shelter for abuse victims for about two months. You can only stay there for a limited time as dictated by their policies. When I eventually left the shelter, the pandemic hit with full force and I could not go to another shelter unfortunately because all the local shelters were full. I was scared to go to a homeless shelter due to the dense population and the risk of covid and the news spoke of these being full too. A couple of weeks ago I started sleeping near ATMs and on park benches. There’s no help to get from my small family because we’re all pretty much broke. My mom is old and my dad passed a couple of years ago. Besides, I didn’t want to risk passing the virus on to my mom. I tried to get help from a much older friend that I both know and trust. I trusted this man because he’s a wise old man and he’s a widower who’s been married for a long time. I regarded him as friend until I ultimately discovered that he was very difficult to live with, the difficulties being: very abusive and manipulative. After a couple of days he asked to have sex with me for him to help me. I knew nothing having to be a prostitute just to get help. His reasoning was that because I was in such a tough spot, I would accept it out of desperation. I said no and went back to sleeping in parks and the likes.

Unfortunately I’m on welfare and I heard I won’t receive much help from the government during the pandemic. I still pay for a storage lot every month, but I’m trying to get rid of some stuff so I can eliminate that expense. I can barely afford a hotel room and that’s about it. I was planning to search for a job a few months ago, but then came the shutdown and added to the cascade of obstacles I’ve been facing. With that comes the problem of staying home. The government asked the people to stay home, but I obviously can’t because I don’t have a home. I try to avoid people as much as I can to protect myself and them. It’s very difficult and I’m still at risk of contracting the virus because I’m almost always out in the public. My social network ends here. All the people you encounter in a situation like this are, just people who are ready to abuse you, blame you or people who are ignoring your misery. It’s already hard to trust people in general when you don’t need help and especially hard when you’re stuck in this mess. I eventually gave up on the abuse hotline due to it still being full and the increased awareness around infection and disease. I fear police because they’ll tell me to leave the ATMs and the benches. I’m wondering if a tent could be better. That is if I can afford one.

If hope there are real people out there who believe in me, and that can just remotely imagine my misery. Anything would help. Basic goods like food, hygiene products, gloves and masks would be worth a fortune to me. My main focus would be to save up so I can have my own place, but one thing at a time I guess. I’d just love normal life for once. Here’s my PayPal link https://www.paypal.me/vaceu65

Provide for my honey and I this month

Hello, I am an undergraduate college student studying psychology! What’s the deal? Well, currently I am struggling to receive any source of financial aid support from school due to the need of varying paperwork I don’t have at this time. I have rent coming up soon, and I hope to take care of my half so that my honey doesn’t have to go through the burden of covering it for me, when it’s my responsibility to provide for us, including groceries, taking care of our house, and paying for rent every month. He’s the best boyfriend I could ever ask for, and I just want to keep him worry free, he has done so much for us and I just want to make sure that we’re taken care of.

I was recently laid off from my job serving coffee for two years – I loved my regulars, I loved my coworkers they were some of the most fabulous people I have had the gift of getting to work with however I lost two family members in this tough time and I feel more comfortable being laid off and being at home than to surround myself in an environment detrimental to my mental and physical health where I’m seriously uncomfortable with the changes and lack of precaution and care for workers. I have too many people I care about/that care about me to risk anything, so I have to stand on that. As I communicate with my schools office about what steps I need to take to continue online enrollment and receive aid, Im just stressed and do not want to put this pressure on my family to worry about me. I just need more time to gather myself to be financially prepared, I’ve never experienced any of this before as I’m sure a lot of us are in that boat. I thought my laid off severance package was going to save me when payday came around but once again I’m just left with more things to make right. I put myself in this position, I know that, I just don’t have enough money right now and I am worried because there’s so much on my plate, but nothing in my wallet to support myself and my little family to move without worries, and trying to hide my financial stress. Unemployment still hasn’t even looked at my bank account to see how broke I am lol but it’s all good, I just need to make smart moves and fast! I’m willing to let my account go in red to provide shelter for myself and my honey, and get gifts for my loved ones in celebration on their lives, and fill the fridge in my home but I just have to think logically about this one. These times are too tough to make silly mistakes knowing we can take our time and protect ourselves harder. My loved ones don’t need to worry, and neither do I; I’m just praying to ease my anxiety day by day because I know we all have been through a lot before and after this pandemic… I just need to support, and provide for me and mine. My goals are to put more action behind my needs and more healthy ways of doing things for myself and others. I’m young, (22) but I’m learning. My nephew is turning 13 this weekend, and two of my best friends have the same birthday and they’re joining the 22 club with me finally! I love all of them so much and I don’t want to disappoint them, or give them any worries about me. I just want to focus on fun, that’s what we all need right now. I want to allow myself to be happy, without anxiety, and just use my time to the fullest by being full of life and love for others, it has been so long since I’ve spent time with my family. I saw my coworkers and class work more than I saw my siblings smh. There are times to celebrate, and focus, and I’m pushing forward and will make room for both. I am currently taking online courses for mental health certifications to further my psychology and mental health and wellness knowledge in the field that I am so passionate yet so inexperienced in.
I appreciate you all for reading this, if you ready any of it. I make mistakes and that will probably always be true, but with your support, just know I’ll make better choices knowing someone so special had my back. It is such an amazing thing to reach out and be heard, and I just want to thank anyone in advance for being such a caring, understanding and supportive energy. I will do my part and pay it forward once I’m in a better place! God bless, and positivity to all!!

p.s. these are a few pictures I took and thought were very peaceful and lovely of nature to share with me, especially during stressful times. Mount Tahoma (also known as mt rainier) is so gorgeous I highly recommend for a hike!!!

Truly anything helps you guys. Thank you all again, have an amazing month!!! I wish you all the best!!

Quadruple Murder Apartment!

0BA570B1-4175-478F-8E23-8FCF4BADD107-15416FE5-21DF-4B0C-B6FF-3E984D7145E1.jpg Hello,

My name is M and I am desperate to improve my situation. I am barely working, deep in credit card debt and live in a dangerous neighborhood. So although I am embarrassed and ashamed to do so, I am here asking (begging) for your help.

I have always been a great student but in 2016 my younger brother suddenly passed away. It’s a feeling that you think you can but can’t understand until you have to. It felt like my brain turned into mush and my body was hit by 18 wheeler. The constant pain turned my world upside down so I dropped out of school with 8 credits to go.

Now, I wish I didn’t and that I just continued to pursue my biology degree but I just couldn’t. It’s like I wasn’t really present, like I was on auto pilot, a brainless zombie. Now in 2020, I am so mad at myself because that choice caused me to spiral down to my rock bottom.

Before Covid-19, I was working two jobs as an assistant teacher and waitress. Although assistant teacher doesn’t seems like that bad of a job (because it’s not and I love working with kids SO much), I only get paid $12.50 an hour. Serving at the restaurant definitely helped with the finances but not much. I was able to somewhat push through, paycheck to paycheck.

During quarantine, I was able to work remotely at the school but I was not working at the restaurant. Now I am just serving twice a week since the school year is over. But I have to be honest, I am on the struggle bus here and it is embarrassing. I am too embarrassed to ask for help from family of friends. I just don’t want them to be disappointed in me like I am disappointed in myself.

I am also $30,000+ in credit card debt and my credit score is beyond poor. Therefore I was unable to qualify for loans.

I still owe my taxes($800+) that are due this July that I have no idea how I am going to be able to pay.

My car is falling apart and needs an oil changes and breaks (since you can hear them squeak from a mile away).

Although I was able to find affordable ($699 a month) apartment, it is an extremely high crime area. After moving in I actually found out that there was a quadruple murder a few years ago in the exact apartment that I live in. QUADRUPLE MURDER! Since I am beyond scared to live here, I got a pit bull puppy, I walk around with pepper spray and a taser at all time. My door also has 3 locks which may seem a bit extra but I am a scared 28 year old, 115 lb girl.

So I am desperate to get out of here but I don’t have many options here. I know that I need to go back to school and to pay off my debt. I need to do this so that I can improve my life because I can not live like this much longer.

But I am dying to go back to school to finish my degree. My dream is to eventually work with elementary students who struggle with behavior. I want to work with the students that are labeled as the “bad kids” that everyone just gives up on, that no one wants to work with. They are the kids that need help most. They are dying for some love, understanding and guidance. I have worked with many students like this at a before and after school program in the past, and I have seen incredible changes. Students, who were violent, who kicked me and bit me and ran way, transformed to mindful individuals that asked for help when starting to feel frustrated or angry. I believe that changes like this at a young age can positively impact their entire future. I want to be that person that is unconditionally there for them. Considering this dream, after completing my degree I would like to either get my teaching certificate through Teach for American or go to graduate school for social work. Since I have attended therapy and are taking medications, I know that I am mentally ready to continue my education.

So I am asking from the bottom of my heart for your understanding and help. If you are able to, can you please assist me (and my 8 month old pit bull puppy) financially or with your time or advice? In return, I am willing to help with any cleaning, babysitting or office work. I will use your donations to pay my rent, bills(especially credit cards) and to register for class. I goal is to one day purchase my own home too.I hope you can help me start over and to fix the mistakes that I have made in my past.

Please feel free to reach out with any questions or if you would like any documentations/proof of the above statements. I was thinking about adding a picture of myself to this post but I just don’t want people to find out that I am in this situation. But I will attach a picture of my wild pup.

Thank you so much for time and understanding!

The repercussions of ICE for an American college student

Hello everyone, thank you for clicking on my story, I am a 22 year old Latina.

A little back story about me, I was born and raised in Texas up until I was 8 years old. In November of 2006 ICE arrived to our house and took my parents to jail to later sent them back to where they are from (Guatemala) due to them entering the country illegally many years ago. My parents were trying to get their papers fixed, however they unknowing went to a scammer who never did anything to help them. A month after my parents were deported my sisters and I joined my parents in Guatemala and I lived there for almost 10 years, since 3^rd grade up until I graduated high school.

I graduated high school back in 2015, in Guatemala, and once I graduated I bought a plane ticket to come back to the US to have a better education. I knew that this was the best opportunity for me and that I was extremely lucky, however I had to leave my whole life in Guatemala, including my parents. I was attending a community college from Fall of 2016 up until Spring of 2018 where I failed my classes for the second semester due to suffering with depression and anxiety from leaving my life in Guatemala and also not knowing what I actually wanted to do with my life. Although it did take me a while to get out of the dark places my mind went during that time, I was able to discover what I want to do in life and that is Social Work.

I was saving up money these last couple of years to be able to pay for college, however due to COVID-19 I lost my job. I am currently only working a part time job that barely pays for my living expenses (I get paid $450 every two weeks). I spent most of my savings on paying bills and living expenses like food and gas, and although it was my fault for failing classes in the past I am not able to apply for financial aid. Therefore I need to pay my college tuition out of pocket.

For this semester alone I need around $18,000 to pay for tuition, I talked with an Advisor from the school and they told me that I could make payments however they would charge me an extra fee for every payment I made. I know it is a lot of money, however I really do appreciate any donation you could make, no matter how small it is. In the end anything will help to be able to fulfill my dream and make my parents and myself proud and no longer ashamed of my past.

Reformed University Fellowship Internship

Hello!
My name is Jasmine Espinosa. I am asking for money because I am doing an internship with Reformed University Fellowship at University of South Alabama. RUF is a christian ministry on college campus all over the US. I have to raise my salary which is $37,319. I know that is not a lot of money and with a college degree I can go get a “real job” but I am not doing it for the money, I am doing it to make Jesus known on the college campus. I was introduced to RUF when I started college at Florida Atlantic University . Prior to college I claimed to be a christian but I did not know Christ, but RUF changed that for me. I came from a school that was K-12 and I was there for all 13 years. I never had to be the new student at any school, so college was my first time being a new student and not knowing anyone. I struggled the first six months of college. Struggled with my image, motivation, and anxiety. Those six months of darkness that I experienced was such a blessing. What I learned quickly thanks to RUF at FAU is that God cares for his children too much to not have their hearts. His calling me to RUF is something that I will be forever grateful for. He has been continually with me, holding my hand and guiding me. God was kind to me through His will, though sometimes it was hard. He brought me through misfortune and pain like I never experienced before. In His mercy, He did not leave me alone in the hard places. God brought RUF into my life to meet me where I was. God loved me enough to wreck me, and he did so in the most beautiful way. He used this ministry, the friends I made while at FAU, family, and my campus minister, Jeff Lee, and intern, Loni Eledui specifically. In wrecking me, He showed me my need to start over. He called me to repent and was gracious enough to give me the ability to do so. As a result of this repentance, I not only saw my great need for my savior, but also my need for others. We were created for community, God is a communal God. I am so thankful for RUF because the Lord directly used RUF and the relationships built thus far to soften my heart and fall in love with my heavenly father. So now that I have the opportunity and privilege to do this for other young adults and college students is so humbling and I am so gratefulI and so thankful to RUF and to the Lord our savior for how he has captured me fully and completely while I was in college, the most tempting and trying time young adults face in their lives. So, like I mentioned earlier, I have to raise a little over $37,000 to be able to be a part of this program. I know that sounds like a lot of money but anything helps and I will take whatever people can give with a gracious heart. I have attached my PayPal link as well as my direct link for the internship where you can give there as well.

Car troubles!! Need a car to work :/

Hi, I didn’t see anything stating that this is supposed to be a formatted text or anything, so I’m hoping more casual is fine.

My name is Kilauni; I’m 19 years old from Texas. I’m looking for money for several things, but right now the most important to me is my car. Last week, the tire broke while I was taking a turn and I havent been able to drive it since (besides taking it to a parking lot nearby to sit). I was able to stay with a friend, but only for a short amount of time because of her living situation. So now I’m back to my car, stuck in the same parking lot unless someone can give me a ride somewhere. I guess I am looking for a little pity because I’m looking for money, but I’m not looking for pity over being homeless. I’ve been living in my car for a few months because my parents kicked me out for not taking any college classes this past semester along with some other petty rules- so I’ve gotten the hang of things and don’t mind it too much.

The problem now is that I can’t make it to work unless I can rely on someone else to take and pick me up, as I don’t have money for Ubers; I also really need any money I get from here on out to fix my own car. This has made my life incredibly stressful, especially since my car is the roof over my head at night and I’m stuck in one spot, unable to drive it. I have a lot of other things to take care of, such as payments for the car still (I’ve only had it since February) and insurance, hospital bills, bail, gas/food/other necessities, etc. which is why it’s so hard for me to save up money for situations like this.

A friend was able to take me to AutoZone on Sunday and they said based on the pictures I showed them that it looked like a ball joint or bent tire rod most likely, but that I’d have to take it to a shop to get it fixed. When I called the shop just a few minutes down the road from my car, they said the most specific range they could give for either problem is about $100-500, depending on which problem it is, what parts they actually need to use/fix, etc. I’ve tried a couple different things to make some more money to be honest, like OnlyFans and asking for donations (along with anything I could come up with for the past few days), but have continuously come up empty handed.

I’m not sure how much is a good amount to ask for, so I suppose $500 just for good measure. But honestly any amount would help greatly, I have almost nothing right now. I get paid in a couple days, but since I’ve been missing a lot of shifts lately I’m not expecting more than $100 for this paycheck. Anything extra that I don’t need to use for repairing my car would at least help me get back on my feet and hopefully stay afloat for a while, as I do have a lot of other financial things to take care of. But whatever I would be able to get I would be extremely grateful for, even just $50. I appreciate anyone who’ll end up taking the time to read through my situation, and hopefully help me out.

Please Help??

Hey My name is Ashley and I’m kinda going out on a limb here. A friend of mine shared this website with me in hoping someone out there could help me. I moved to SC about a year ago with my boyfriend. We moved into a house that was actually a Craigslist scam. We then met the owner of the house who agreed to allow us to stay in the home and he would then be our new landlord. Find and dandy however the house still needed repairs. He agreed to supply materials and we fix it. Great right? Far from it. Those minor repairs WERE NOT MINOR but we still attempted to do what we could. The landlord refuses to buy materials now says it’s not his problem. The roof over my little brothers room (yes I take care of him as my mom had 3 strokes and recently diagnosed with MS and isn’t financially in a good position) so I stepped up to help out; his bedroom the roof has completely fallen in almost so when it rains it pours… which has produced black mold and mildew which is quickly spreading. My brother has literally went through the floor in the living room which we did a temporary fix. The plumbing fell from under the house which my boyfriend fixed most of it but couldn’t fix the bathtub plumbing (he’s not a plumber) (did I mention we take showers under a water hose that is hooked up to my kitchen sink) the leech field is so backed up it will come up in our sinks and back up the toliet. The sinks and counters are This landlord was at one time a building inspector! We can’t even get electricity in this house until he replaces the meter where his previous tenant was stealing power. Which when we first moved in the power was actually hooked up to A WELDING SHOP next door that we didn’t even know about. (Electric was included in rent as well as lawn upkeep lol) we have called and talked to the electric company ourselves. They let us know the house had to be inspected and a new meter put in but our landlord has to cover the inspection because we are not the owners. He is aware of the problems we are dealing with but refuses to help or assist in any way. He knows himself the house is condemnable. Here comes the corona virus that has left us both without work (yes we are applying for multiple jobs) which is now limited due to a fuel pump that went out on our vehicle. So now we have to find jobs within walking distance which is very limited in our area but we are still trying. We are at our whits end. I stay sick from the heat (I’m a diabetic) we just really need a blessing. We want out of here so bad but when we think we are almost at that point something else goes wrong. We can’t catch a break. I’m mentally breaking down so I figured I’d give this a try. If anyone can help in anyway possible I would be overly grateful. Thank you for taking the time to read my post for help. God bless and hope you and your family stay safe and healthy:)

Late father’s truck died, need a new one please help.

Hello to anyone out there reading this,

I am embarrassed to be doing this asking for money. My father passed away from cancer when I was eight years old, and we have had his GMC Sierra ever since. It has definitely been a symbol of him and has always made me feel very close to him. I have always wanted a truck just like my dad’s, I know it is just an object but knowing that my family has to get rid of my father’s truck makes me feel like the whole in my heart is being torn bigger and bigger. I have been trying my best to save up money as best as I can but it’s not enough I am still in college and I work 30 hours a week. I would’ve had enough money for a new truck but I was moving into a new apartment with some roommates so we can be near our school and the day we were going to sign the lease it caught on fire and burned down. Because we hadn’t signed the lease yet, we didn’t have insurance yet and I lost all of my stuff. The landlords said they would help us with their insurance and they haven’t helped at all and refuse to give me back my $1600 deposit on top of it and I had to go find a new apartment to live which I found, so now I have all my bills for that too. I know there are a lot of other people out there in worse situations which is why I feel bad for even doing this, I really have been struggling to do this because of the financial hits I’ve taken since my apartment fire. I thought eleven years without my father it would get easier with my emotions and holidays, however it feels like it has only gotten harder, this past father’s days was one of the hardest days of my life. And lately I have just been struggling and have been taking a lot of hits and my fiancé that I live with hasn’t been able to work because of corona and it feels like we are in a financial ditch lately and this truck is the one thing I really want and I have been working really hard to save money for, and my current car that I drive to work is on its last legs and I don’t know what I’m going to do if it breaks down, I won’t be able to get to work and school and home. I appreciate anyone and everyone out there that is reading this and appreciate literally any help and I only hope that in the future I can pay it forward to other’s out there struggling like I am.

Sincerely,

Amanda D

Any Amount Appreciated

Hello, here’s my story: A few years before I was born, my family moved to this country with three kids and barely any money. Growing up, I had a few goals: save and invest money for myself, help my family members with their debt and expenses, and buy real estate. The first two goals, especially helping my family, were the most important. Once I started working full time, I was hoping to bring these goals into fruition.

A few challenges came along the way, and as a result I am struggling immensely. First came the student loan debt, which I thought I could handle, but ended up crippling me with my savings. The medical debt and credit card debt came shortly after. A majority of my paycheck goes towards paying off my debts, yet I can’t seem to be making any kind of significant dent other than paying off interest. I’ve come to realize, being a single working woman, trying to maintain my immense debt while helping family members with theirs, is anything but easy. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to save much for myself and my personal goals.

Nonetheless, I did my best without giving up. Little by little I tried chipping away at the debt I needed to, while sending as much as I could to my family. But recently we faced another hit, one hitting home for many people. My family members, including my mother, lost their jobs due to Covid-19. My own paycheck has been affected due to a structural change in my company following Covid. My family needs my help now more than ever. They are struggling, desperate, and depressed. It pains me to know I cannot help them right now.

Nowadays things seem to be getting worse. Having undergone some medical procedures, and with some of my family members getting sicker, the medical debt we have is skyrocketing. And with missing days from work, I haven’t been able to make a dent in my own medical, credit card, or student loan debt. If I can’t help myself, I can’t help my family.

This is why I am asking for your help. Any amount would be greatly appreciated, and would help kickstart my life. My trajectory once gaining these funds is the following: first, pay off any outstanding medical debt I have. Next, pay off my student loan and credit card debts. After, I can finally help my family members and ease some of their burdens. This in particular, would bring me great joy.

Once I get these done, I would be better positioned for my future goals: save enough money to buy a home, and have enough money to give back to society, by way of donating to charity. Buying a home has always been a dream of mine. In fact, what I would like to do in the future is buy some property to rent out, thus having a continuous cash flow as I continue working. As for charity, I’ve always wanted to be financially secure enough to donate to a few charitable causes close to my heart; those helping the people from my hometown, and ones helping sheltered animals. I believe our duty as humans is to help those in need, and I’d like to pay it forward once I become financially independent.

So, thank you for reading my story, learning a little bit about my goals and passions. As I’ve stated, any amount would be greatly appreciated. If you can find it in your heart to donate, I will never forget it.

Get my daughter back

A little over two years ago my life was headed down a dark path and i knew that the result would be me ending up in prison. At the time my daughter was a year old and I didn’t want her to end up bounced around in the foster system and neither myself nor her dad have family members that we could trust to leave her with, so I sought out some friends of my family and asked if they would take care of her while I got my life together. This family has been foster parents for multiple children and this is how I know them so I figured that they would be a good fit for the situation. And that I could trust that at the end of all of this when I was able to take care of her again that they would be able to hold our hands through the transition.

this has NOT been the case. I have been out of prison for a year now and sober for two and a half years. Currently I only get to see my daughter for one hour every other week. They also chose to make this time at 9am on Tuesdays, knowing that I work 12 hour shifts at my job Saturday through Monday and that this time slot is literally the hardest one for me to be my best at.

Currently I have been sober over two years, have maintained employment at my job as a server, bartender and manager for over a year, have lived at the same apartment, have had the same boyfriend, am going to weekly therapy sessions, have completed treatment and parenting classes, have had zero positive drug tests. i have a bedroom and clothes and toys and everything my daughter could need or want at my house. I have never been suspected of child abuse or neglect. There is no reason that myself or my home is an unsafe environment. Yet this family continues to maintain that i am still using and that my boyfriend is using despite us both doing everything in our lives to the contrary. i’ve even managed to improve my credit score 100 points!

A little over a year ago they asked me if they could adopt my daughter and i told them that no, now is not the time to discuss something like that. i have all intentions on turning my life around and being there for my daughter, she deserves that. and ever since they were told no they could not keep her forever they have been limiting contact and visits to both myself and her father. Despite a court order stating that we have regular and meaningful contact. The family told me that it was going to have to be up to a court to decide whether placement with them or with her parents was what’s best for her. So after they said that I filed ON MY OWN a motion to terminate the guardianship. Unfortunately I make too much money for a court appointed attorney, but not enough to afford one on my own, especially after the COVID shut my job down and created some SERIOUS financial strain in my household.

Until I get a lawyer retained to speak on my behalf they are going to continue to play games and make things as complicated or impossible or expensive as possible in an effort to try to overwhelm me and get me to give up. They are exploiting my past issues with drug addiction and hoping that they can push me back into those habits so that they can keep my daughter. I have been dealing with this situation becoming more and more increasingly a struggle for the past six months and I have finally come to realize that I can not do this on my own. I am a very strong willed lady, but I dont know the law and so I need someone who does.

PLEASE HELP!!!!

Need assistance: I’m being kicked out

Hello, I’m David and my wife and I are being kicked out of my mother’s home. We’ve lived here for 5 years but my mother has finally decided that I need to find my own place and I have a week until she puts us out.

I own 2 dogs and cannot be without a home, especially because I am mentally ill. My wife has a job but we cannot get a home fast enough with her income!

Please, I would really appreciate any donations; my goal is hopefully at least a few thousand so we can find a place, pay first months rent plus any pet fees and bills we need for that month.
