Financial Hardship Help

Last Updated:

I’ve had many “this is the worst year of my life” years, but this one truly is the worst.

2025 started off with a car crash Jan 6th and from there the hits kept coming. I am a single mother to a 7 year old red headed, polish Puerto Rican Italian. Yes I am screwed. All I want is to give her the world, but that’s hard when I compete with my ex and his family and I suffer with alcohol and drug addiction. I am currently in recovery and have been for almost 4 years. In January after my car accident my cousin who I had been helping with substance abuse decided to go to rehab in Florida, he called me, we cried and he thanked me for his help. In march he was found dead in his apartment having drank himself into a state, covered in bruises and his own waste. In may we lost my uncle to the same disease. Checks were donated to AA in their memory and were given to me, a woman claimed from their I stole her identity. With all the proof I had to show the check was given to AA the police charges she filled against me were dropped, but being that I worked in finance and the woman banks where I worked I was investigated for fraud and ultimately fired from my well paying job in September. In November I was served eviction papers right after my daughter 7th birthday in a home rent and got sober in. The week before Christmas I went to buy myself and daughter a dog through a Facebook group with many followers and content and was scammed out of 1200$. Making Christmas even more stressful, today my car was repossessed and the debt charged off because I am unable to pay. Having lost my mother when I was 11 and my father an alcoholic, I did not have many great examples of what being an adult entailed. I have known more grief than many will ever yet all of this loss this year and stress has officially broken me. I have no where to turn to and no company that will approve a loan based on my credit, so I’m begging, pleading for anyone out there to help this 38 year old single mother get back on her feet before they walk a different path. I’m looking for roughy 25,000 – 18k to lay the charge off amount, the remainder to find a new home suitable for my daughter and myself. Thank you. I have linked my Venmo below as well as cash app.

Thankyou for all who took the time to read.

My Father had a stroke, heart attack, and blod clot all last year and because he was the main source of income for his household it put a huge stop to things. He had surgery and was in the hospital/Rehab for a count of 6 months. Thank god almighty he survived it all.

It was sleepless nights and stressful days I myself ended up in the hospital with high blood pressure. But i didnt worry about me I was really concerned for my dad.

Im so grateful he pulled through but he could no longer work so alot of bills got pushed back or put on hold. My mother who was a house wife took a job as a caregiver trying to cover what she can aswell as i giving them something everytime i got paid to help out.

I know my situation is not severe as some but i am grateful for him just surviving and still try to work but cant cause his coordinates are still off.

I know we will survive this because raising 8 children and 6 of them being raised in the projects with sometime only a few food stamps is giving thanks to god.

Anything that is given is appeciated because the smallest to some are huge to the others. My father has a building where he stay on the first floor and I stay on the second floor and because he cannot work now owe and being told to move.

We are still in the cold season and Usually asking for help is not what I do because giving is better than receiving but hard times has fallen so im asking for the both of us.

Taken care of people is my career been doing it for 23 years it kinda saddens me im the one that need help.

So anything helps. We do owe more than 100,000 so its hard asking because thats not just pocket change. I know everything is expensive and not going down soon.

Please find it in your heart to give anything I would love to surprise my father with anything to help him.

 

Blessings and Peace.

My life is spiraling down. Just need a break

This is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to write.

My car broke down, and shortly after, I lost my job. I live in the woods with no transportation, no family support, and very limited resources. I’m on unemployment now, but it’s not enough to survive, and I’m four months behind on rent.

I’ve never been unemployed before, and I’m a hard worker who wants to get back to work — but without a car and with mounting bills, I’m stuck.

I’m asking for help to stop this situation from getting worse. Donations will go toward rent, car repairs, and basic living expenses while I work to get back on my feet.

If you can help or share, I would be incredibly grateful. Thank you for taking the time to read my story.

Medical Emergency Situation

Thank you for taking the time to read my healing/awakening story of hope & faith.

I am a highly sensitive person (HSP) who is very intuitively empathic.  I have two cats and I am a huge animal lover. I volunteer as a dog walker whenever I can at animal shelters.  I have worked as a pet sitter/organizational cleaner and used that work to help me though my healing journey.

I have been on a spiritual awakening path for the past 7 years, releasing lots of unhealed childhood trauma from decades of mental, verbal, physical & sexual abuse.

In the beginning of my journey I began unknowingly dating a conman who stole all my accounts (bank, social media, etc & hacked into all my electronics and email addresses). Seven months into dating him, I realized I was being scammed/conned called a Romance Scam.

When I broke it off with him, he attempted to kill me in a car accident, totaled my car and broke my humerus in my right arm, leaving me for dead.  He was facing a felony charge for the attempt on my life.  He began to gang stalk me to scare me from testify in court (as he was facing a felony vehicular assault).

He tried to human traffic me for the next 2 1/2 years.. I moved 12 times in 3 years to elude him and his group of gang stalkers all by myself (and my 2 fur babies). It took three years to finally escape that daily horror.

However, once I did finally find a safe place to begin healing (on the top of a mountain), I was able to begin my trauma therapy with a therapist who worked with me in EMDR therapy, 2 times a week daily, for the next 6 years.

I was diagnosed with Complex PTSD (CPTSD).  As a student educating myself to become an intuitive holistic energy healer I have added in other healing modalities such as breathe work, sound therapy, animal therapy, art therapy, empathic intuitive childhood trauma release therapy as well as reiki and others.

My goal through this awakening/spiritual healing journey is to heal myself so that I can help others heal from karmic narcissistic abusive family dynamics.  Eventually open up a wellness retreat center for abuse victims to not only heal, but have a safe place to go.

About 5 years into my journey, I began to get really sick and was diagnosed with Mold/Mycotoxin Exposure & SIBO (small intestinal bacteria overgrowth) as well as 10 kidney stones and mild fatty liver.  The house I was living in after the first two years of my healing was infested with toxic mold and both my cats & I got really sick.

After being medically gas lit by 19 specialists in western medicine, I was finally instructed to go to an immune doctor who was able to give me proper testing and found out that I had Mold/Mycotoxin Exposure and SIBO.  I was dealing with systemic inflammation that was breaking down all my organs very quickly.

This began my next 8 moves in 1 1/2 years.  Each house I escaped  toxic mold only to move into another house that had more toxic mold. I wanted to get a functional doctor to support my healing, but I was spending all my money trying to save my cats so was not able to afford my own functional doctor at that time.

Due to many hours of research (I was personally clocking) to learn how to heal my body and my cats bodies, I was running out of money. It was going out faster than it could come in and I was getting more and more sick.

By the third mold house, my cats little bodies could not handle that much toxicity from the mold. So at 19 years, I lost my girls. They were all I had left.  I was forced to throw away everything from the mold homes because it was infested with mold spores and keeping me sick.

For the next year I continued to move 5 more times without my girls, getting better and then getting sick again, as each home was infested with toxic mold.

I had been doing the healing journey for up to 6 years at that point all on my own without any family or friends. I was exhausted, still sick and out of money.

My dad had passed away two years previous to him coming to me in my dream. About a year ago, my dad came to me in a dream and I felt an urgent need to reach out to my family to go back and begin healing with them.  I hoping I was going to be strong enough to be around them and not allow them to trigger me backwards in my healing.

I decided to go back home and live with my mom to receive support in my healing.  I was needing emotional support so desperately at that point.  I was craving a human to just give me a hug and tell me everything was going to be ok.  I was also needing help financially as I was living pay check to pay check.  Since working was becoming more and more difficult due to being so sick.

My mom was in another state at the time, as she was just beginning retirement.  I found out she was also dating someone only a year after my dad transitioned.

So, instead of going home to my childhood home, she asked me to be with her and her new boyfriend in this southern state for 5 months and then we would return to my home state.

I found out quickly that my mom had been telling lies about me my whole life, and creating a false narrative to my whole family and all my friends back home.  I was informed that she was an undiagnosed Bi-Polar and an undiagnosed narcissist. I was also feeling unsure about her boyfriend because he seemed to be scamming her.  So there was a lot of chaos that I was unknowingly walking into.

The boyfriend was triggering me, as I could see right through him. When I attempted to speak to her about this, she called the cops on me on my birthday and kicked me out of the fifth wheel camper.  Again, I was in a state I knew no one and was down to my last $500. I was forced to stay in a shady motel that night.

There was a man from the 50+ Senior Park who offered me a free flight back to my home state, because he lived there too. My mom banned me from going back to my childhood home, so I had no place to go once back in my home state.  To make things worse, not one of my family members would help me or take me in, due to the false narrative my mom had been telling everyone about me.

I began living with this stranger for 5 days.  However, he attempted to rape me, so I had to leave in the middle of a very cold winter (negative weather temps).  Now my brother and sister in law were forced to take me in.  I say forced, because they were under the illusion of my mom’s lies about me. ( I do have a sister, but she will not speak to me for unknown reasons.  Again due to my moms lies.  I feel like I walked into a Twilight Zone nightmare. )

I began the slow re-building process, as I was still healing from mycotoxin exposure.  My moms 5th wheel was also infested with toxic mold, so I became more sick by going down to see her.  I continued to get more physically sick day by day.  Also, I had more trauma to heal after realizing the truth of who my toxic family really was and all the obstacles they had intentionally been placing in my path.

Three months to the day of living with my brother and sister in-law they kicked me out of their house for more lies that my family was speaking about me and that they listened to.  This was devastating, because I was close with my brother growing up.  I was feeling the ultimate betrayal from all my family members, as I just wanted to be loved.  Realizing that the universe sent me away from them to heal initially because they were so dysfunctional and toxic.  All these decades I was unaware of how dysfunctional there were.  So, April 25th, 2025 I had formally emancipate myself from my whole family, not because I wanted to, rather for survival.

I was once again without a place to stay in the early spring time of 2025 and I prayed and I prayed and I prayed to have the universe send me an angel; to help me.  That is exactly what happened.  I walked into a church and a pastor said he had a place for me to stay for free for a couple of months while I get back on my feet and get some income saved.  I was only able to get a job that would give me 25 hours of work.  (as I do have pet/house sitting experience & organizational cleaning experience, but was unable to get any work in this new city.)

I was still trying to re-balance my immune system, so was still very sick.  Also the stress of this job was making me even more sick as it was flaring up my already chaotic nervous system.  I was having a hard time working that much, even though it wasn’t that much.  Being around all the energies of the customers was too much for my sensitive body and nervous system.  Also, one of my co-workers was an a trigger as she was just like my mom.

I had to keep working because I had no choice, being all by myself with no one to support me.  However, I could feel my body getting getting more and more weak as the days went on.  Once again, doctors were not able to help me.  This began another round of being medically gas lit.

About a month a half ago, I got so sick with a temperature of 101 degrees.  I was not able to go into work & have not been able to work since. I have had a temperature everyday for a month and a half.  My immune system is failing and I am dealing with more systemic inflammation as well as HIGH IRON levels, low sodium and mild fatty liver.  (these test results just came back on Xmas eve)

I was pay check to pay check before I had to stop working.  So, I have reached out to the state for assistance, but the doctors don’t want to provide the proper documentation to help me get that support since we don’t have a formal diagnoses in this state.

Now I am down to my last $100 needing clean healthy food for my immune system and herbs and supplements to help me heal as well as money to be able to get the proper functional medicine testing done so that we can figure out how to help my body begin to heal, rent, & phone bill.

I do not have a vehicle yet, so I have to walk everywhere and I do not have the energy anymore to even go get my groceries and water.

I was not able to pay rent for the month of December.  I am not sure how much longer I will be allowed to stay here without paying rent. I just had to ask him for help with groceries, but I can tell he does not have much more to give.  He has already given me a total of 3 months of free rent.  I have never been in this situation, so I feel so helpless.

Everyday I just get more and more sick and I am barely able to get out of bed for very long each day.  I have no one to help me.  I am no longer able to pay the pastor/my landlord his rent and I am running out things to survive.

I found this site and figured I could try to see if there are kind people in this world that have money to donate & help me get better & back on my feet.  I want to be able to heal and support others in their healing journey.  As that is my goal, is to help others in this type of situation.

I guess I needed to experience it first, before I was allowed to help others.  I am scared I am going to be homeless and am scared to loose the cats that I have been taking care of in his house.  As they were here all by themselves and they too were getting sick, because he didn’t have time to properly take care of them.  They were in one room that was dirty with only a cat tree to sit/lay on.  Since I have been here for the past 8 months, I have helped them heal and thrive.  I told him, that I would adopt them, when I am able to leave and find my own place.

Any help would be so appreciated!  Thank you for your time and I send my love, light, peace & gratitude!

Reclaim, Reuse, Re-Treasure

 

I’m the founder of a newly formed LLC in Illinois, a recycling and repurposing business born from both necessity and legacy.

My father, Frank, spent his life hunting for treasures in what most people called “junk.” He dove into dumpsters, combed parking lots for pennies, scoured auctions and estate sales, and filled shelves with glassware, curiosities, and broken bits with hidden beauty. As a kid, I used to cringe, embarrassed by his oddities. But after he passed—and after walking through some of the darkest times of my life—I finally understood what he saw: possibility. I inherited a few old trailers he left behind and my initial plan was to scrap them out. But as I began sorting the contents, I realized they were full of his treasures—vintage glassware-depression glass, carnival glass, milk glass, art glass-as well as antique tools, old vintage chainsaws, countless collectible items and repurposable materials, old computers and electronics, a very old  jukebox, and the coolest pharmaceutical triple beam scales from the late 1930’s. Turns out my dad was far more knowledgeable and interesting than I ever gave him credit for and I wish he would have been here still to see the transformation I underwent out in those trailers.

That’s when I inherited the passion for treasures and this idea was born—not just as a business, but as a mission to honor his spirit: a spirit to rescue, restore, and rehome discarded objects.

Every year, the U.S. sends over 146 million tons of waste to landfills. According to a study done by the EPA, 75% of waste in the US could be reused or recycled. Furniture, textiles, glassware, electronics, and clothing often end up buried instead of reborn. If even small community projects like mine diverted just .01% of that waste, we could keep 14,600 tons of usable material out of landfills each year—reducing emissions, saving energy, and creating local jobs.

That’s what I’m trying to do here in Illinois.

My goal is to create a local reuse and recycling hub that:

 

  • Sorts and cleans usable goods saved from the landfill
  • Refurbishes items to original condition (or close to it)
  • Creates jobs with profit sharing
  • Sells reusable items locally and online
  • Recycles recyclable materials (metals, precious metals, electronics, aluminum, plastic, glass, cardboard and compost) at local recycling centers and scrapyards.
  • Offers pickups for unwanted but usable items
  • Donates time, materials and money toward educating the public about waste and creating a circular economy
  • Gives back to the community.  We have committed to donating 10% of our e-commerce sales. Once our business is stable, we will raise that percentage.
  • Aims to standardize a circular economy system
  • Create a community compost garden where locals can bring compostables in exchange for fresh veggies, fresh herbs, or quality potting soil.
  • Inspires others to rethink what they throw away
  • Makes trash look good ;)

I’ve registered my business with the state already, but I’m seeking donations to help cover essential startup costs such as vehicle maintenance, sorting materials, cleaning equipment, tools, personal protective equipment, gasoline, and essential  marketing materials—The market is huge. And ripe. Startup money could put us ahead years, at the forefront of a movement that will eventually become the global standard.

Even a small contribution helps move this mission forward.

This isn’t just a business; it’s a legacy—for my dad, Frank, and for everyone who ever saw something beautiful in the broken.

Thank you for reading, sharing, and believing in second chances—for materials, for people, and for the planet.

I’m at rock bottom. Final attempt for help.

Hello,

I’m not sure if there’s enough space here to convey my current situation.

I’m at my literal rock bottom. I’ve made so many mistakes. I think I’m a good person, but I still feel like I hate myself because of the situations I’ve put myself in.

My mental health is non-existent. My self esteem is too.

I’ve always considered myself smart, hard working, honest and ambitious, but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to fix the hole that I’m in.

I honestly wouldn’t mind going into detail, but I think that there’s a word limit here.

I need a lifeline and a second chance at life. I have crippling debt close to 6 figures. I truly need help. Anything helps. If not a donation, at least a job opportunity. I have 10 years of experience in sales and customer service. I made a pretty good income before, but my experience is very niche and doesn’t transfer to other sales careers. I started working right out of high school, so I wasn’t able to get a degree.

Again, I don’t mind going into detail. Maybe we can find a way to connect and discuss… I really need a mentor or someone to point me in the right direction.

Whatever amount helps. My debt is almost 6 figures. I know it’s not feasible to expect this help. But genuine advice and help/job options would be so so welcome!

Suffering individual looking for a way out

​I am writing this with a heavy heart to ask for your help. I am currently facing urgent legal matters in Arkansas and have fallen behind on court fees. My situation has reached a critical point: if I cannot pay these late fees immediately, I face the very real threat of jail time, which would then require bond money I simply do not have.

​Living with schizophrenia and severe depression makes every aspect of this crisis feel insurmountable. My disability is a daily battle that affects my cognitive clarity and my ability to process complex information. Because of these challenges, communicating with the court and navigating legal requirements is incredibly difficult for me. Sometimes, the fog of my depression or the symptoms of my schizophrenia make it nearly impossible to advocate for myself or explain my situation to officials, which is how these fees became overdue in the first place.

​The thought of being incarcerated is terrifying, as I know my mental health would deteriorate rapidly in that environment. I am doing everything I can to stay stable, but the financial weight of these legal costs is a burden I cannot carry alone.

​Any financial assistance you could provide would go directly toward my court fees and bond to keep me out of jail and in a safe environment where I can manage my health. Thank you for your compassion and for taking the time to understand the challenges I am facing.

​So if you could please help and let me recieve or loan atleast 4 or 5000 thousand dollars to help me get up to date and avoid late fees and get caught up to date and to avoid any jail or issue with the legal systems that will be so amazing of you.

I’ve been struggling to get by and communication is the most difficult thing to be able to do with in letting the system know why there’s late fees.  My mental health issues and skitzophrenia got me sick and tired and in a spot or more say s place it’s difficult to eat, to do daily tasks and write or read and other minor things In daily tasks and activities that make it difficult for me to be functional  ,my partner has had no job and nor have i had a job so it’s tough for me to survive, if you need any more details on this situation I’m facing this time of year, please feel free to ask me for information about the situation.  Contact me on https://www.paypal.me/angelsweetygurl

I need help now after helping

For the past year I have been helping a single Dad and his eight year old daughter stay off the streets, and try to get themselves established and settled. The young man has been working hard to find a stable job, and to keep his little girl in school, and provide her with at least some semblance of the life an eight year old girl should have. The young man has no family; just him and his daughter. He does have a few friends where he lives, and they have helped him as much as they could; but they are struggling as well. He has no transportation; just the bus and walking. But they have both been what I call real “troopers” through all of this. Then this past May the young man needed emergency surgery. That really threw everything into a tailspin for a while.

I have essentially been supporting them; with rent, food, utilities, transportation, etc. Unfortunately I could not bring them to stay with me. I was, and am astounded at what it takes financially to rent an apartment these days! And of course we all know what the general economy is like! Due to all of the “help” I have given them, I now find myself in a real financial bind. I have depleted savings; and I have maxed out credit cards trying to keep everyone’s head above water.

I have been told by some that none of this was my business or my problem. I am sorry, but yes, it was! I am sure if the young man had been by himself, he could have managed somehow. But he has an eight year old little girl to take care of! And I cannot stand the thought of an eight year old child being on the streets! Maybe I am foolish; but I don’t think so. I have just been trying to help!

How much do I need to “recoup?” To be totally honest, I would be over the moon with $200,000! But I know that is not anywhere near a realistic amount. So, I can assure you that any and every amount will be incredibly appreciated! I am just trying to rebuild what I have given out. I have also been told that I do not know how to say no; and that my heart is too big. But I carry a real burden for anyone who is living on the street, and I could not let this child be one of the number.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Single Mom Facing Homelessness While Caring For Adult Child Struggling with Mental Illness

It’s been over 5 years since my daughter was diagnosed. At the time, we were a happy family of 6 and the future for all of us looked bright. After her first mental breakdown, things went down hill fast. Fast forward to today, I am unemployed because of all the appointments, and calls, and bouts of hospitalizations. I am also alone in my struggles–as my husband left me after I refused to give up on her, and now completely out of money for rent, gas, lights, food, and basic necessities. My daughter is currently hospitalized, and is discharging in a few days and I need to ensure she has a place to come home to. The good news is, she is showing signs of progress; which means she will be stable enough for me to get a work from home job. The challenge is surviving until we get there.

I am requesting funds to make it to and through January, so that I can create an environment where my daughter can focus on her road to recovery and I can focus on recovering what was lost. I need $2,800, and all/any assistance is greatly appreciated. https://cash.app/$BeeQC

Help needed to start a new business project

Hello kind and beautiful souls,

I hope you’re enjoying the holiday season and spending meaningful time with your family and loved ones. Wishing each of you a very warm and peaceful Christmas. I truly wish Santa could step in and help me through what I’m facing right now. But since he can’t, I’m here with humility, asking for your support.

I never thought that I would be in a situation like this, but here I am, reaching out to random people during one of the most difficult phases of my life.

I have been unemployed for the past year and to my luck, I am not really able to find any suitable jobs recently. Over the last few months, I was into building a business project I truly believed in. I put everything I had into it. Unfortunately, that project could not move forward due to a lack of funding. My unemployment situation made things even worse. In the process, I exhausted most of my personal savings and also borrowed money from a close friend. When the project stalled, I was left in debt and in disappointment. I tried asking my friends and family for some financial support, even asked some banks to lend me some money, but none of them worked out for me.

Despite this setback, something unexpected and hopeful happened. Recently, I submitted a new business idea to a business incubator in Germany, which I’ve been developing and refining for nearly six years. To my surprise and relief, the project was accepted. The incubator wants me to relocate to Germany within the next couple of months so I can work with them closely to bring this idea to life.
This opportunity feels like a turning point. For the first time in a long while, it feels like my life is finally moving in the right direction.

However, there’s one major obstacle. I don’t have the financial means to make this move. I’m not in a position to take another loan, and the incubator’s financial support is strictly limited to the project itself—not my personal relocation or living expenses. Before I can even accept this opportunity, I must clear my existing debt and meet the financial requirements for immigration.

This is why I’m here, asking for your help. I need to raise $45,000, broken down transparently as follows:

  • $12,000 to repay the loan I owe my friend

  • $4,000 for the incubator’s onboarding and program fees

  • $25,000 to show immigration authorities that I can financially support myself during my first year in Germany while I work on my project

  • $4,000 for flight tickets, visa costs, and essential relocation expenses

The project that has been accepted is not just another startup idea for me, it’s my life’s work.

And the project in question is a mobile app designed to protect people during violent or dangerous situations. The app would enable individuals to discreetly alert local authorities in real time and also provide post-incident support for those who are traumatized. The vision is to eventually work alongside police forces, emergency services and volunteers across multiple countries, helping to prevent harm and improve response times, regardless of a person’s age, gender, or background. At its core, this project is about keeping people safe and reducing violence wherever possible.

I know this is a big amount of money to ask for, and I don’t take it lightly. Any contribution, no matter how small, would mean more to me than I can properly express. And if you’re unable to contribute financially, simply sharing this message could help it reach people who can. I will try my best to pay back my supporters as soon as I have sufficient funds.

Here is my PayPal link – https://www.paypal.me/Chetan243826

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. Your kindness, whether through support or sharing, could genuinely change the course of my life and help turn a socially impactful idea into reality.

Significant Loss

I’m not one to ask for assistance. Since my wife passed away 3 1/2 years ago I have been on a downward spiral financially. Sold my home in Arizona paid off some debt, moved to Alabama to be closer to family. Bought a 1280sqft trailer for my daughter and I to live in until she could afford her own place. Gave her $25,000 to her her buy her home and 1/2 acre of property yo put it on. Continued donating to the same charities and have supported a former foster child in Arizona from here. I realized that the $30,000 dollar pay cut in wages from the move makes my financial situation unsustainable. I’m Broke, in debt and now swallowing my pride, I find myself in need of assistance to balance my finances and continue to be charitable to those who need it. I truly appreciate the generosity of you that can donate. www.paypal.me/RKramer78.

Thank you all and have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Seeking a Hand Up to Secure a New Beginning

Hello,

I’m reaching out today because I’ve found myself in a situation I never expected, and I’m humbly asking for your help. It’s not in my nature to ask for assistance like this, as I’ve always prided myself on my work ethic and independence. However, after a very challenging year, I’m at a point where I don’t know where else to turn.

Recently, I took a huge leap of faith and moved across the country to build a better life. The journey has been tough, due to having to get a new job, as well as medical expenses due to a recent car accident, and I’ve exhausted all my energy. After countless applications, doctors appointments, and seven rounds of interviews, I was thrilled to finally receive an offer for a position that feels like the perfect fit—a true turning point for me.

Unfortunately, there’s one last hurdle I wasn’t prepared for. A standard part of their background check includes a credit screening. I currently have a debt of $12,000, and I am deeply worried that this will prevent me from passing the screening and securing this much-needed job. My background is otherwise completely clean; this debt is the only thing standing in my way.

If I am able to clear this background check, the job is set to start in about a month. Until then, I have no income to begin paying this down on my own. Clearing this debt would not only ensure I get the job, but it would also lift an immense weight off my shoulders. The position requires a significant amount of driving, and my hope was to eventually save up for a reliable car, but with my current debt and credit situation, that feels completely out of reach.

Getting this job would be life-changing, allowing me to finally get back on my feet and build a stable future. I’ve worked so hard to get to this point, and the thought of losing this opportunity over my past financial struggles is heartbreaking, especially during the holiday season.

Any help you could offer, no matter how small, would make an incredible difference. Your kindness would be more than just a donation; it would be an investment in my future and a chance for me to start fresh. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to read my story and for any support you are willing to give.

Wishing you and yours a warm and happy holiday season.

Help us break the debt cycle and start over

My husband of 26 years and I have found ourselves in the endless cycle of payday and installment loans.

 

I have a good job that I really like, but I’m salaried.  So no matter how much I work I can’t get any extra.  Salary increases have not kept up with inflation.  My husband is a substitute teacher.  He is really good at it and is requested by many teachers.  However, when school is closed or he gets sick, he doesn’t get paid.  Also, he has trouble finding work in the summertime. For years, he worked at a county park, but the summers have gotten too hot and he couldn’t handle the job anymore.  It was negatively impacting his health.  Since then he has had trouble finding anything else.

 

We started by taking loans from my 401K, but that is not sustainable.  Our credit is awful, so we don’t qualify for traditional loans.  But predatory lenders are more than willing to “help”.  We have borrowed money from friends and family, but that avenue has been exhausted.  We are having trouble paying our rent and other bills and then we have the exorbitant payments to the predatory lenders.  I don’t know what to do anymore.  We are spiraling out of control.

 

In addition, his parents are older and need his help a great deal.  They are about 45 minutes away, so that takes gas money.  Now with inflation, they are starting to have financial problems.  It would be ideal if we could find a way to live together, but their house is too small and too far from my work. Our apartment is close to my work, but has no extra space.  It is also on the second floor and they couldn’t handle that.

 

So I am asking for help. I think that $10,000 would get us back on our feet.  Pay off some of these awful loans and pay back friends and family.

 

Please help.  I know this is my own doing, but I really want a fresh start.

Widowed and Overwhelmed: Please Help Me Start Over

My name is Jennylee, and I never imagined I’d be writing this.

For nearly 20 years, I was married to the love of my life. In the beginning, it was a fairytale. But over time, addiction crept in and changed everything. We lost our home and spent three years living in a camper, moving from campgrounds in the summer to backyards in the winter. Through it all, I stood by him, helping him fight his demons and believing that once he was clean, life would get better. And for a while, it did.

Then, everything fell apart again. He relapsed, and despite my efforts, things spiraled out of control. On October 3, 2025, I got the call no one ever wants to receive—he had passed away.

Now, I’m grieving and facing overwhelming debt: funeral costs, a car loan, and a tax bill he left behind. I’ve worked so hard to rebuild my life, but these expenses are crushing me. That’s why I’m humbly asking for help.

My goal is $19,600, which will cover:

  • Funeral expenses
  • Remaining car loan balance
  • Tax obligations

Every donation, no matter the size, brings me one step closer to stability and peace. If you can’t donate, please share this page—it means the world to me.

Thank you with all of my heart for reading my story and for any kindness you can offer during this heartbreaking time.

Raising Hope For A New Start- Help A Resilient Family

Hello, my name is Jessica. I am a single mother of three and a survivor of domestic violence. Years ago, we escaped a dangerous situation and moved several times to find safety. Today, we are far from that past, but we are also far from any family support system.

For years, I took pride in being the sole provider. I worked hard to pay every bill and put food on the table without any outside financial assistance. However, a series of medical crises has brought us to a breaking point.

Two years ago, a medical condition led to multiple major surgeries, including a spinal cord injury that occurred during a procedure. I had to learn to walk again. While I am grateful the care saved my life, I live with chronic pain, numbness, and limited mobility. Despite this, I pushed myself to work 50+ hours a week until my wages began being garnished at 20% to cover the mounting medical debt.

A few months ago, I lost my job. Despite 20 years of experience in my field, my physical limitations have made finding the right kind of work more challenging.

Where we are now: Currently, I have exhausted every resource. My credit is maxed out, and I have been relying on local food pantries to feed my children. My children are wonderful—they have gracefully accepted a “handmade” Christmas this year, finding joy in creating gifts for one another.

My urgent needs: I am facing a January 1st rent deadline that I cannot meet. Between my daily living expenses and over $10,000 in medical debt, we are in a hole we cannot climb out of alone.

I am not looking for a permanent handout. I am an active, capable person who wants to work and contribute to my community. I have promising job leads starting after the holidays, but I need a bridge to get there.

I am asking for your compassion to help us keep our home and find stability as we head into 2026. Every dollar is a lifeline for my children and me. If you cannot donate, sharing our story means just as much.

Thank you for reading, for your kindness, and for your giving heart. ❤️
