Over Taken…

Greetings dear good people. My name is Jim.  I so wish I was on the other side of this situation.  I would rather be helping people rather than asking for help. (which is very hard for me).

My wife and I are retired nurses. We spend more that 40 years serving others and it was very satisfying.  During our life we experienced many challenges.  Our  3rd child had open heart surgery at 1 month old.  She is now very healthy now.  My wife, Erin, experienced 3 auto accidents (none her fault).  One resulted in spinal surgery to the neck.  She now has life long chronic pain.  My self…I’ve had surgery on both shoulders, right shoulder replacement, right knee replacement, Widow maker heart attack.  This followed with open heart surgery.  This took me out of the work force a couple of years early.  Heart issues comes with frequent medical test and procedures and a lot of medications.  And yes, we have to add the development of type 2 diabetes.

With all this said, we stayed just above water all our lives.  Nothing extra for travel or weekend retreats.  Well, yes we did take the kids on annual vacations to the Smokey Mountains.  We always camped as that was all we could afford.  As I said we managed to keep our heads above water, but now we seem to be losing ground.  We have medical bills that we cannot pay.  A couple of credit cards that I can only make minimal payments.  So those are never going to go away.

We are preparing to move in our forever home.  We barely made the financial requirements.  I’m sure this will not be my forever home for too many more years as my health dictates differently.  I do not want to leave my wife and/or children with any unpaid bills.  I’d like to go out with a clean bill…

If you find my story worthy of your help, and God bless you for what you do, I would painfully ask for $20,000 to clear all my debts…and maybe a little left over to take that week-end get-a-way.

Thank you so much,

James (Jim) Skinner

I’m Trying to Start Over — Anything Helps

Hey there,

This isn’t easy to write, but I feel like I’ve got nothing left to lose. I messed up. I’ve struggled with addiction for a long time. I had some time clean under my belt, and I really thought I was on the right path… but then life hit me hard. I slipped, and what was supposed to be just one bad night turned into a spiral.

Now, I’m out here with nothing. No roof over my head. No money. Just the clothes I’ve got on and a bag I carry everywhere. Some days I don’t eat. Some nights I don’t sleep. I’ve lost people. I’ve lost trust. And to be honest, I’ve almost lost hope.

But I haven’t lost it completely. That’s why I’m writing this.

I’m not asking for a miracle. I just need a little help to get back on my feet—some food, a warm place to sleep, a bus ride to get to a meeting or maybe even a job interview if I can find one. I’m not looking for a free ride—I just need a hand long enough to stand again.

I’ve made mistakes, and I own every single one. But I don’t want to be stuck here. I want to do better. I want to rebuild. I want to live.

If you’ve ever been down, or if you just feel something reading this, please know that anything you give will go straight toward turning things around for me. And if you can’t help, I get it. Just reading this means a lot.

Thanks for hearing me out.

Retiring Nurse

My retirement funds have withered away in the US and I am on my own.  I’ve spent years helping others and raising my son to manhood.  He is doing well for himself.  I still work as a travel nurse and have seen the pay stay low while housing and expenses are ever increasing.  As of now, I  have no place to retire to and current salaries are not enough to save much more.  My goal is to continue working for a few more years.  In order to do that efficiently, I want to get a small piece of land with a small house; for travel assignments (and future relaxation), obtain an RV and a truck to pull it.  I survived an abusive marriage and was able to raise my son on my own, survived working COVID ICU’s and the trauma and PTSD related to that, the upheaval of losing my father suddenly and my mother requiring 24 hour care (no warning – note selling their house is funding her care and likely no inheritance ), and help whom I can whenever I can in this madness in my country.  I appreciate help in advance.  PayPal dance.gypsy@icloud.com

A Fight for Health and Stability: Request for Support During Medical Crisis

My name is Shawn Costill, and I’m writing to ask for help during an incredibly difficult time. I’ve been battling serious medical issues since I was 12 years old, and despite years of surgeries and treatment, I’m now facing overwhelming financial stress as my health continues to affect my ability to work.

It all started with severe, constant stomach pain that left me bedridden and eventually homeschooled. After countless ER visits and doctors, I was diagnosed with endometriosis — four cysts and significant scar tissue were found during surgery. We hoped that treatment would ease the pain, but it never did. Over time, I learned to live with it, only going to the ER when it became unbearable.

Years later, a routine physical for a school activity finally gave us answers. A doctor listened closely, ran tests, and diagnosed me with MALS — a rare and painful stomach compression disorder that requires surgery to fix. Since then, I’ve also been diagnosed with Nutcracker Syndrome (which led to a kidney transplant), SMAS, May-Thurner Syndrome, POTS, and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. I’ve now had 12 surgeries in total.

While we are doing everything we can to manage my conditions, the reality is that my pain has recently worsened. I’ve missed work, fallen behind on bills, and am struggling to keep up. While there are some assistance programs for my medical costs, everyday expenses — rent, utilities, basic needs — don’t qualify. I’m currently $2,500 behind and truly just need enough to catch up and breathe again.

Any support you can offer would bring enormous relief and allow me to focus on healing without the fear of financial collapse hanging over me. I’m deeply grateful for your time, your compassion, and any help you can provide.
With sincere thanks,
Shawn Costill

Dead End Again

A Mother’s Fight Through Loss and Setback

Almost three years ago, I lost my husband unexpectedly. In the middle of that heartbreak, I found myself the sole parent to our three beautiful daughters. It’s been hard—emotionally, financially, spiritually—but I’ve kept going. Every day, I’ve pushed forward for them.

Raising three girls on my own has meant making countless sacrifices. I’ve worked tirelessly, saved every penny I could, and finally managed to get a reliable van so I could keep working and take my girls where they needed to go. It wasn’t easy. I was proud. It felt like a breakthrough after so many storms.

Just 23 days after getting an oil change, the unthinkable happened: the engine gave out. The van is now completely inoperable. I’m still stuck with a car payment on a vehicle I can’t use, and I have no transportation. I’m now at risk of losing my job—the one thing keeping our fragile stability afloat.

I never imagined being in this position. But I’m trying to stay strong. I’m asking for help because right now, I can’t do this alone. Every bit of support means keeping a roof over our heads, food on the

Raising three girls on my own has meant making countless sacrifices.

It felt like a breakthrough after so many storms.

Just 23 days after getting an oil change, the unthinkable happened: the engine gave out. The van is now completely inoperable. I’m still stuck with a big car payment on a vehicle I can’t use, and I have no transportation. The engine replacement is $8,000 and I owe $9,400. I feel used and scammed someone had to of known this vehicle was a risk, or was the oil change done wrong a mistake? I don’t know where to turn. Ubers don’t run where I live in an extremely rural area, my hometown doesn’t have any stop lights. I manage to get rides when I can but working 3rd shift it’s much harder. I’m running out of time. I’ve been warned at work about missing days but it’s out of my bosses hands company policy. I work at a nursing home taking care of our aging veterans. I honestly can say I love my job yes sometimes gross things are left for me to clean up nonetheless these ladies and gentlemen are my elders the fought for this very platform in a sense. I respect and honor them as if there my own parents I treat them as if they are my own grandparents and I truly love and care for them all it’s my honor to do so….. I’m now at risk of losing my job one of the few things in my life that bring me real happiness right now. Everything in my life has been hard nothing been easy but I love god and live by the golden rule. My job is the only thing keeping our fragile stability afloat.

I never imagined being in this position. I’m asking for help to pay off the loan on this now non drivable Kia Van I was once so proud of ( that didn’t last long) i feel like a fool. Please consider donating if you can, so I can either purchase something else or get into a new car that’s reliable. Right now, I just need a way to keep my job, take care of my daughters, and regain some peace of mind I feel like I’m drowning. I’m struggling to keep afloat and losing hope.

Any support—big or small—means the world to me and my girls. Thank you for reading, and thank you for caring.

Foreclosure and utility shut-off notice

My dear friend Dawn is facing an incredibly difficult time. Within a short period, she has tragically lost both her beloved husband and her cherished dog to cancer. Her husband was the primary source of income, and now Dawn finds herself without her life partner and her loyal companion, navigating unimaginable grief and financial hardship alone.
Adding to this immense loss, Dawn is now facing the imminent foreclosure of her home. A payment of $16,000 is needed to bring her mortgage back into good standing and prevent her from losing the stability she has left.
Dawn also urgently needs to pay a $1,600 utility bill to prevent her power from being shut off, adding another critical challenge to her current struggles.
Just when things couldn’t seem to get any harder, Dawn’s car broke down and needs a new transmission.
In a determined effort to generate income, Dawn rented out spare rooms in her home. Unfortunately, multiple tenants have moved in and then stopped paying rent, leaving her to face the lengthy and costly eviction process without any financial relief.
Dawn is a resilient and kind person who has always been there for others. Now, she desperately needs our support to navigate this overwhelming crisis. Losing her husband, her dog, and potentially her home in such quick succession is an unimaginable burden for anyone to bear alone.
Please consider making a donation to help Dawn get back on her feet and provide her with some much-needed stability during this devastating time. Any amount, no matter how small, will make a significant difference in helping her pay her immediate bills, address the foreclosure threat, and eventually repair her vehicle.

If you can offer any support, please donate directly to her PayPal account:

Your kindness and generosity are appreciated during this dark time. Thank you!!

Urgent Help Needed — Trying to Build a Better Life for My Son and Me

I never thought I’d be in this position, but I’m reaching out because I truly don’t know where else to turn.

For a long time now, I’ve been in an emotionally and verbally abusive relationship. It has taken a serious toll on my mental and physical health. I’m doing everything I can to protect my 9-year-old son from the weight of it, but he deserves better — he deserves a peaceful, loving home to grow up in.

Because of ongoing health issues, I haven’t been able to work full-time. I’ve been substitute teaching when I can, but it’s not enough to cover the mortgage or our basic needs. My husband has been out of work for two years, and the financial pressure is overwhelming. I feel completely stuck.

I’m asking for help so I can either afford to stay in our home on my own or find a safe, stable place for my son and me to start over. I also want to finish my bachelor’s degree so I can get a better job and provide long-term security for us. But right now, I can’t even afford to take that next step without help.

Any amount you can give — no matter how small — will go toward housing, bills, food, and school costs. It will give us breathing room. It will give me the chance to rebuild, to give my son the stability and care he deserves, and to finally move forward.

If you’re able to help, my PayPal is: paypal.me/shawntel1l

Thank you for reading, for caring, and for helping if you can. Your support means more than I can put into words.

With gratitude,

I only asked that he be healthy….

When I was pregnant with my third and last son, I only prayed that he was healthy. I say this because his brother was born allergic to everything and severely asthmatic. On his third birthday we were celebrating his 200 visit to the Children’s Hospital for acute asthma attacks, allergies or food reactions. A few years later we found out he was Autistic. So, when I became pregnant 8 years later, I prayed over and over again that this little boy was just healthy. And he is, healthy as an ox… but was born profoundly deaf. Great, I got this! That we can manage and embrace. I soon after diagnosis fought the FDA, found a Dr to go rogue, and he was the first in our state to be implanted at 9 mos old. Just to then start a very long road of therapy appointments and need for technology.

What I was not prepared for, is the cross modal neuroplasticity. His body full of spidy senses and a nervous system on overdrive all of the time. I was not prepared for life to be so cruel to him in being bullied and treated with bias at every turn. I was not prepared that being prideful and staying employed rather than on the system…making barely enough to pay rent and the basics, choosing what not to pay in order to eat meant we would not qualify for any assistance or any help. I was not prepared for the fact that cochlear parts and upgrades are not covered by insurance. Nor are any of the technology adaptable devices. Basic hearing access and tools for school…also not covered. I was not prepared for the medical co-pays for OT, PT, Speech and Audiology to bring me to thousands of dollars in debt. In addition to the years of payment arrangements made for his brothers care. I was not prepared for his dad to lose his leg in a logging accident and become unemployed and on disability unable to contribute in a financial capacity. And most importantly I was not prepared to take a personal loan out with our car as collateral to be tricked into being told it was a fixed interest when actually accruing, to consolidate debt for yet again more medical procedures.

What I am and was prepared for was to work 3 jobs and 7 days a week. I am prepared to get less than 5 hours of sleep a night and work hard to raise three disabled kids. My oldest was in a car wreck and suffered a horrible TBI and plethora of long lasting physical injuries. In addition to my middle son who is autistic and medically fragile and then my Wolverine of a lil man born profoundly deaf, cross modal, color blind, and also autistic. I feel like I need to attach proof for as crazy as this all sounds. But it is my life. I live it. And still I go to work with a smile everyday, a work ethic that feels uncommon in my generation, a kindness and ability to see others in light of what they need and how I can help and an absolute love of being a mother to my boys. But this can’t be all that is to life? To work so hard to be so broke and never catch up or even catch a tiny bit of a break. I have been making a $700 loan payment each month and  less than $70 is going to principal. I am now 2 months behind and am at serious risk of losing our car. Our life line. There are no more hours in the day I can work and I am here…asking for help. Directly to the loan if preferred, a gas or grocery card or pay pal so that I can get caught up. Better yet, to help get the loan paid off! Thank you for reading and considering

Kidney Care Fund – A Personal Request

I’m reaching out to share a deeply personal journey and to ask for your support. I’m currently living with lupus, an autoimmune disease that has significantly impacted my health — especially my kidneys. Recently, my condition has required treatments and medications that aren’t fully covered by insurance, placing a financial strain on both me and my family.

Managing this illness comes with ongoing and often overwhelming costs — from medications and lab work to doctor visits and transportation. That’s why I’ve created this fund: to help cover these essential medical expenses and maintain my health and independence.

Every donation, no matter the size, brings me one step closer to stability and healing. If you’re unable to give, simply sharing this message means just as much. Thank you for taking the time to read, for caring, and for standing with me in this fight.

 

Sending love and gratitude!

Help Me Get Life-Changing Jaw Surgery – Any Support Means the World

Dear Friendsand future Supporters,

I hope this message finds you well. I’m reaching out with a humble request for support as I face a significant medical challenge. After 3 years of struggling with the broken upper jaw bridge and difficulty eating, I’ve been advised by my doctors to undergo corrective jaw surgery (orthognathic surgery).

The bridge that I had broke my upper jaw, and a lot of pus was coming out for 6 months. The infection seems to be cured, but this needs to be fixed.

This surgery isn’t just about improving my smile—it’s about restoring my ability to eat comfortably and live without constant pain. Unfortunately, my insurance won’t cover the dental cost, leaving me with overwhelming expenses:

– Surgery: $16,500

– Hospital fees: $5,000

– Post-op care/medications: partially covered $350

– Additional treatments (e.g., new implants, follow-ups): $35,000

I am asking only for surgery and hospital fees. It is not the time to think too far ahead about new implants. I had some money from my pension fund, but one of my daughters had a wedding two months ago, and majority of it went there.

Why I’m Turning to You:

I’ve always believed in the power of community, and right now, I need yours. No amount is too small—every dollar brings me closer to a healthier, pain-free life. If you’re unable to contribute financially, sharing this campaign with your network would mean just as much.

This surgery will transform my quality of life, and I’m deeply grateful for your consideration. Thank you for being part of my journey.

With heartfelt thanks,

Stan M

Financial help

Hi, my name is Theo. I’m a single dad with two kids and would like a financial fresh start in life. I have credit card debt of $46,000 that has carried over from Covid, house repairs, divorce, and some medical expenses. I took a chance with some crypto investing, promising growth. I was desperate to get out of the hole I was in and lost $18,000 and fake, crypto platform. I am struggling to get ahead. I’m making progress but it is stressful if I don’t get enough hours at work. My credit cards have raise their interest rates and is making it harder for me. I have missed payments but caught back up just to then miss again.

Single Mom to my 2 kids and Granddaughter

Hello I’ve been trying to keep a roof over our heads. It’s been a struggle our only income is My Disability. First our only vehicle decided to get a cracked head gasket. Where we live there’s no public transportation so I’ve been having to pay people to take my Son back and forth to school, Dr appointments, grocery store and anywhere else we have to go.

The first of this month I was informed that the house we lived in was sold and we had 20 days to move. I had already had to pay the bit of extra money we had for rides back and forth everywhere.

I have literally exhausted every option I have to find and rent us another place to live and trying to fix our vehicle.

I’m humbly asking for any help at all. To try and raise the $1500 for first month rent and security deposit. My first priority is finding a place for the kids and I to live. Then I will try to figure out the vehicle situation.

I truly appreciate you even taking the time to read this and even considering to help.
