Hello, for starters I am a beautiful 20 year old that’s 5’2 and slim. I usually am extremly financially well on budgeting until about a year ago.

I was always one to help people without thinking twice, whether it was financially, taking someone home, or letting someone live with me. What I wasn’t always aware was it came with a price, an unfortunate one.

A year ago and to this day i still live on my own. I was seeing a man who was unfinancially stable. I should have known better. We would go places, and his card would decline so I would always pay. I got tired of it and due to other reasons I ended the relationship with him.

I never had or could keep a good paying job especially as a 19 year old in a small town that nobody has heard of. Small towns pay small with big responsibility. Everyone would say move to a big city, but how can I do that when I cant afford it?

Back to my story, after the relationship ended, I realized I had spent a little too much on him and his wants. And I began to see I started to not afford things I needed. Such as groceries. I applied for food stamps but was declined.

My car at that time was a HUGE financial problem, every month I would have to put something new in it. It was a 05 Nissan Altima. I put all new tires in it, new motor, alignments, ball joints, steering rod, wheel baring, you name it. I never got prodded it and took care of it. It was just the previous owner that hadn’t and I was stuck with it. So I eventually decided to buy a new car and co sign with my grandmother. It worked.

A friend on my birthday, decided she was going to live with me. I agreed, why not she is a friend I thought. My thought was wrong. She was in high school and gave me a hard time. I asked small rules of her that she just didnt follow. She began to steal money from me and use my debit and credit cards racking them up online. I had enough and had her move out. Because she was 17 I didn’t prosecute. I would take forever for it to be settled and I knew her family would fight like hell to be sure she or they wouldn’t.

I started college right outside of high school and wanted to go through with it completely. Unfortunately that didnt happen. It cost me about $5000 a semester for everything. Travel  books, classes. My financial aid wasnt enough so I had to take out student loans. Between a full time job and full time school, and family issues it all became to much so I had a take a break from college for the time being to get my life back on track so I can just focus on my degree.

My father was diagnosed with a extremely rare cancer in his spinal cord. He successfully served the operation. But it led to my own financial issues more. I had to leave my work for a little time to help take care if him. He couldn’t walk, eat, or move on his own. I ended up taking out pay day loans to help get me by.  By the time I returned to my job I didn’t have enough to begin to pay the loan companies off.

I was in a car accident that wasnt my fault in January, but by law I took fault because the person who caused it left the scene of the accident. My new car was totaled and I had to get a new one again. This one is higher pay due to the credit score from the loan companies and the fraud from my friend that left my credit card outstanding.

I had an operation in February, personal medical reasons that also left me with medical payments that I just couldn’t afford. My job literally paid enough for my Bill’s (internet; school, phone, rent and gas) I began to not be able to afford groceries at all. Sometimes I didnt even eat at my work because I would only have $2 in my account, and was too ashamed to ask for help.

As of now, my total debt is close to $20,000. Anything helps and is much appreciated. I’m on the search and have been since March for a better high paying job but so far nothing. I already work 40+ hours a week. Thank you for reading.

hello, my name is Raja and I’m asking for a small donation of $2000 for a trip planned by my TripAdvisor. I am going to Tokyo Japan for research on colleges there so I can attend a college of my choice. I ask for this help because I come from a very low income family with a terminal ill mother, she has MS (Multiple Sclerosis) and she has no cure which puts her in a position to retire from work completely and become bed written. I alone pay for my mother’s medical bills, they are atleast $750 a month and I work a $8.50 an hour Job, I have been saving up for this trip since my Freshmen year of high school and I still don’t have enough. I already have half of what I need but I can’t seem to make the other half on my own. This is indeed for a good cause because i am also taking my teachers and fellow students to Japan as well and I would do anything to see my mother smile before her time is up.  The donation would be much appreciated and I thank you again for your time. May god bless you all and hopefully you’ll see it in your heart to donate to anyone ! Thank you (Here is my paypal paypal.me/rajababy)

My name is Olivier Hessou and I want to go to school. I’m 18 years old. June 2 of 2018 I came out to my parents and they kicked me out. My parents are old fashioned people who don’t believe in this new generation. I’ve always been so afraid of telling them who I was. I thought “hey maybe telling your parents your gay on pride month wouldn’t be so bad. They might actually accept you.” That wasn’t the case. My father got angry and I saw dissatisfaction in my mothers eyes. My fathers reaction I understood, but I love my mother and I thought I could talk to her about anything but she wasn’t willing to help. She said something that hurt me, she told me I was going to hell but I can prevent it by going to see our pastor. I told her no and they have kicked me out. I currently live with my friends family and I don’t want to be a bother to them. I am planing on going to college but I don’t have the means to do so. My original plan was for my parents to help me out but that ship has sailed. I am currently unemployed and can’t support my self. I promise you I am looking for a job. I really don’t want to drown in college debt. I first year of college is about 25 grand after financial aid had kicked in. It is too much for me to handle on my own. Please help me.

HELLO!

I am writing to ask for your support in attending the exceptional theatER program of ‘Ecole Phillipe Gaulier’ in the small town of Ètampes France.

I am a performance artist, dancer, and philosopher, looking to master my skills of performance and theatER in order to manifest my work in a more impactful and influential way.

I have chosen this school as it is singular in it’s combination of radical creativity, and dedication to discipline.

Through my work in performance and philosophy I have come to work with the stage as one of the most influential and important mediums for transmitting and conveying new ways of thinking of, and experiencing life,  which are integral to our world at this time.

The theater, also carrying something more singular and vital than cinema (although I love cinema too!), has such a great power to move individuals and compel them to consider living in different contexts than they had perhaps ever thought before.

I have dedicated my whole life thus far (31. years) to following my passions at their intersection with the progress of this precious world, and this is what draw me to this program.  I have overcome in comprehensible circumstances to get to this point.

If you support my journey,  I have absolutely not doubt that you will be supporting the progress of this world, and the one to come. As well as making a very grateful persons dreams come true.

the money would go to:

14,000 (two years tuition)

20,000 (tow years rent/housing)

6,000 (food, travel costs, clothing, until i find a steady income after having acclimated to a foreign country)

 

Please do consider supporting me.  I appreciate you.

Hello.  My daughter Julianna Was accepted to a college out of state.

She wants to become a nurse and specialize in Neonatal.  She choose these to help mothers with new norms born prematurely or with illnesses.

This warms my heart as I myself lost twin boys and the nurses who took care of them were so wonderful to my boys and our family.

We we have been saving for years as we new this is what is what she wanted to do.  She has maintained an A B average in high school, was part of band for 4 years, playing the flute, and maintained a part time job working at the San Antonio zoo.

She is a wonderful kid with a good head on her shoulder.  She is loving caring person and as her mother I would hurt me knowing she couldn’t complete her life’s dream, due to some financial hardships we have endured during the last two years.

we have applied for scholarships and financial aid; which we did receive but we are still $12,000 dollars short.

School starts in August and we are hoping the kindness of strangers can assist in her full filling her dreams.

This is my first time asking for help over the internet. I just go accepted into Charleston Southern University and need help covering the $300 deposit. I also need help with my car taxes that is $209. I am studying to be a middle school history teacher and I’m not sure what to do. I love history and want to speed my knowledge of history to my students. I also requesting help covering $90 to pay for the praxis core math entrance exam. I have to retake the math because I missed the reaching score by 5 points. Normally I have everything together but life pretty much got ahold of all of my savings. My family doesn’t have enough money to help because of a series of events that took a tole on us. It’s just my grandparents and I want to make them proud but I can’t do that when these things are holding me back. I am currently working as a care taker ina group home but that barely helps make ends meet. We are living paycheck to paycheck and it’s scary to think what will happen in the future. I am afraid that if I can’t afford these set of bills, then my education stops here. They say that millennials are lazy but it’s so hard to get ahead when everything is harder to reach because things have changed from the previous generation. I’m afraid that I will be stuck because I am unable to finish my education. I will be the first from my family to graduate for college. My grandparents quit after a could of years. My mother’s didnt finish because she had me early in life. My father did not even try to go. I will be the first on both sides of the family. All I ask is that if these are covered. I promise that I will do my best to make the diners proud as well. I need this to keep my hopes and dreams alive. Going into work at the group home has taken its toll on my mentally and physically. I am nurse, family, cook etc. I hold many hats and the stress of everything takes its toll. I want rob be able to teach our rich history and inspire the next generation of free thinks, inventors, or the next Steve Jobs. I want to be that great person and someone who inspires those to rewrite history. Thank you. paypal.me/1L1fe

Hello, my name is Carmel for the pass nine years my family  have been experiencing  severe financial hardship, but we’re still hear. Although we can use about $16,800 to help get clear of some financial strain such as;

$500 to license  and insure our car

$800 to turn on the power

$1800 to pay off back rent

$7000 to cancel all loans

$2500 for tuition fees for the new school year

$5000  for some financial cushioning

We can really use the financial  assistance  in those matters, but at this point they’ve  became  secondary .

The real reason that am asking for donations is to help pay off my daughter’s tuition fee. The balance on her fees is $574.00 which am not able to pay due to my families  financial  position .

Due to her grades in the Public School, her g.p.a was 1.63. She was moved out from the Public School system  ( by faith not knowing where the funding was coming from) and place into a Private Institution ( to repeat  the 6 grade).

Upon attending  the Private Institution with smaller classes, her first term g.p.a moved to a 2.5 ( which I had not seen  from the first  grade). To my amazement her second term g.p.a moved to a whopping 3.0. At this time am anxiously waiting to see what her final g.p.a would  be. With all of that been said, if her tuition fee is not paid up by the 25 of May,  2018 the school will not allow her to participate  in the graduation ceremony . It hurts my heart just think that after such great  improvement that she could miss out on such a event, because we  cant afford to pay off tge reminder  of her tuition fee.

So am asking any Potential  Donors  reading  this for your assistance  in seeing that my daughter has an opportunity to walk down the aisle  on graduation  day . Because  of her g.p.a in the Public School system was very low she was not afforded the opportunity  to graduate, but was being transferred over to Junior High School  with a lack of education. As parents we desire to see our child/ children  succeed and to receive a good education . So that they would grow up to be a blessing in society  and not a curse .

Thank you so much for the time you’ve  took to read my story. To those  who can assist me in this matter, thank you very much. You’ve  been  a great blessing to my family .

And if anyone so desire to assist my family  financially with the  other situations please feel free to do so. Any help no matter how great or small is greatly appreciated.

Once again thank you for time and help am truly grateful .

You may send your kind donations to www.paypal.me/ denanikanea

Once again thank you.

 

 

 

 

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to read this!

I have always wanted to be a teacher. A great teacher. But after finishing a Bachelor’s Degree I am swamped in student loan debt and still trying to cover the cost of living expense.

I thought why not apply to teacher school and see if I even get in? So I applied to the local College to the College of Education, which is a two year course, and costs twelve thousand dollars.

In the meantime I have registered for, studied hard, and passed the Praxis Exam (English Content 5038) that is a pre requisite for the program. I have also submitted, and passed clearance, into the FBI fingerprint database.

And then last week I received the acceptance letter into the College of Education. I am very proud, and extremely excited. Only I cannot afford to pay for the program. I am still in debt from my first student loans, and although I plan to continue working, that will barely cover rent and groceries!

Please help me raise enough money to go back to school. Although teachers aren’t paid much, I will pay it forward by being an excellent educator. Not only will I teach the school curriculum, but I will also teach leadership, accountability, decision making skills, and compassion is my students. I know that given the opportunity to go back to school, I will be a great teacher.

Thank you for reading, and thank you for your consideration.

Hello! My sister will be going to Med-school in the fall of 2018, and my parents and I agreed that they since med school is very expensive, any extra cash should help her and her goals. I want to become a dental assistant and later a dentist. Since elementary school, I remember hearing my classmates talk about how much they hated going to the dentist. However, I embraced it and absolutely love going. The sound of the tools and just the smell of the clinic was always euphoric to me. I’ve had friends and families ask me, “Why would you want to look in somebody’s mouth all day?” After I hear this question and then I start thinking to myself. I want to be a dental assistant because first of all someone has got to do it and secondly, I think a person’s smile can light up a room and if I can help get more smiles in this world then that is what I am going to do.

I am currently in my last semester at community college, as I finished all of my perquisites for dental assisting. I have decided to attend Carrington College to help further my education. As seen in the photos, my tuition would be roughly 15k. I have an estimate of 2,000 dollars saved up. With everyone’s help, I hope to achieve my dream. Thank you for taking time out of your day to read this.

Hey there! My name is Morgan Freeman (Yeah, like the actor! No, unfortunately I can’t talk like him). I am currently a freshman at Missouri University of Science and Technology (Missouri S&T) studying environmental engineering! I am asking for donations to help me pay for some summer courses I will be taking this year. I am taking these courses, Calculus and Chemistry, to help me get ahead in my academics here at S&T. This will also allow me to take more career oriented classes next fall semester. I am super excited to take my first environmental engineering class and learn more about what I can do to help the environment in my life.

These donations would be greatly appreciated. Unfortunately, I am a self sufficient student, and have been for several years now. My father lives in another state, so I grew up with my mother. However, I moved out of her house over two years ago because she was mentally abusive and did not take care of me the way a mother should. Therefore, I have no parental financial aid for schooling. The earnings I make from my current job go towards bills such as car insurance, gas, and my phone bill. This leaves very little cash for tuition and books.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read about my cause. Again, donations would be greatly appreciated. I am so proud to be a first generation college student in my family. I am so glad I chose to further my education and pursue something I am truly passionate about and that will help improve the world.

Feel free to contact me at morganfreeman3125@yahoo.com with any questions.

Hi there!

My name is Alyssa, and I am a senior at University in the USA.  I am going to try my best to keep this short! :) We are only a few months into the year of 2018, and it has already been quite eventful for me.  Not only is it my final year of college, the year my cat passed away, the year I lost my grandpa, the year I have a multitude of car issues, the year my significant other lives in another country and the year I continue to look for a career in my field of Filmmaking before I graduate.  There are so many people struggling with the same thing I am; money.  Honestly, it is really unfortunate that the world we live in relies on money.  I consider myself to be a very positive person, and in the midst of hardships and tragedy, I can always be the person you can count on to be by your side.  It is with a heavy heart that I admit that in the past year it has been quite difficult for me to lift my own head up and tell myself that all will work itself out.  With the cost of college and student loans hanging over my head, as well as the basic costs of living, it is becoming increasingly harder to gather extra funds to focus on my filmmaking and getting a foot into the industry despite most of their entry-level jobs being labeled ‘unpaid internships’ in order to get free labor.  Long story short, costs are high right now, and part-time jobs coupled with ‘unpaid internships’ are not cutting it.  I would deeply appreciate and financial support I could get to help pay my student loans, plane tickets to see my significant other, car costs, bills, etc. What I mean to say is, any amount at all would really mean the absolute world to me.  Thank you to those kind people out there who took the time to read this,  and I hope you all the best : )

Hello all! I don’t know how to ask for things but here goes. I am currently a college student in New York, and am in my 3rd year. Unfortunately, I also have $1,259 left to pay for my tuition for this semester. I’ve paid as much as I could up to this point, but registration for the upcoming semester already began and I cannot do this until my tuition is paid.

I currently work part-time and go to school full-time, but I ultimately am living “paycheck to paycheck” and I cannot afford to pay this all at once. 

Of course, I will continue to put money in when I could, that is, a bit off of each paycheck. I also realize this isn’t probably the most dire of situations, but I really do want to continue going to school. I’ve already had to take a few semesters off in past years because I couldn’t afford it and I really don’t want to do that again. (Also, I’m so close to paying it off.)

I really would appreciate any help anyone could give me. Even a dollar would help and It would mean a lot.

If you would like to help me out, my PayPal link is here: paypal.me/AmyM308

Thank you so much for reading.

Hello, there! I’m a 27 year old who quit my job to go back to school to do what really matters to me – providing counseling to people (children, specifically). I kind of did life backwards – I started working and did some college at 15, then graduated high school at 17 and moved out on my own at 18. I worked at the same small business for over 7 years, working my way up the ladder as far as I could. During that time, I put some money in savings and the rest towards buying and making extra payments on my house – but essentially working away my early 20’s. One day, I realized that I had spent all these years at a place that wouldn’t fulfill me long-term, and that money wasn’t ever going to be ‘enough’ – I need to make a difference in the world. Since the age of 12, I’ve know that psychology and providing support to those who don’t have it is my way of positive change, but it took me until now to make it a reality. So here I am, 1 school year of 4.0 grades later, applying to the only college that will accept me with the GPA I did a royal job of screwing up when I was younger, and in need of some help. The local Central WA University campus discontinued the full credit psych degree LAST quarter, which means that instead of volunteering and working (to pay the mortgage) in Seattle while I go to school next year, I will be stuck in Ellensburg – which, to be frank, doesn’t have much to offer for an undergrad psych student. I just got a roommate to help with the mortgage, but with school expenses of $2600 per quarter plus living expenses while over there, I could really use some assistance! Thanks a million from the bottom of my goofy soul! <3 Jodi

Hi everyone-

If you don’t want to read the full story, I’ll post an abbreviated version at the bottom.

The long version is as such:
I began my college career not knowing what I had wanted to do. My amazing college has taught me so much about myself and has made me passionate about learning, and even more so for the life after college. A degree will help to break a chain that my family has been stuck in since before the immigrated to America from England.

My parents have been on their own for my entire life. They’ve fought tooth and nail to keep me in school, in clean clothes, fed, and with a roof over my head. There have been several times where we almost lost our house, we have had nothing but bread, pasta, and gravy to keep us fed, and we’ve had so many health problems. Both of my parents have been through cancer scares. My dad is 60 and still works full time as a truck driver, driving through blizzards and torrential downpours to keep me in school.

My mother is disabled and does her best. She makes jewelry and sells it, which only brings in enough to keep us just barely afloat. The first year of college, I received a full package from the FAFSA and the state Pell Grant, and to cover the rest, my parents took out a Stafford Parent Plus loan. I applied for many scholarships, put sadly, I did not receive a single one.

Due to the fine line my family rides on, I am unable to get a true summer job as reported income would make the government think we were “okay”, so I spent my summer scrubbing floors and toilets for under-the-table money. It was enough to buy a small amount of food, no matter how much I worked. Every moment of my last summer was spent trying to make more money to help college. My parents were denied another Stafford loan due to their credit, which they have been working hard to boost. They’ve cut on bills and had their electricity shut off so that I could have food more than once. By the end of the Summer, I was forced to take out a $10,000 loan from Sallie Mae as my college was threatening to not let me return.

I am the first female in my family who might be able to finish college- neither of my parents have been able to do so. I want nothing more than to finish this out so that when I’m done, I can move to the city and start my work. My main passion right now is to create a book club for underprivileged students to read, discuss, and keep books entirely for free. I have an entire plan set out, but it is likely that without a college degree, I won’t be able to get past the initial boundaries set for me by workplaces in order to make the money to get off the ground.

I want it to be clear that this is not a sob story. My parents have spent their whole lives doing what they can for me, and I am determined to do what I can to show them that they did not give their sweat, tears, and blood in vain. I want this to be a success story, hopefully with your help.

Here is the bad side of it: My credit, because of emergency medical expenses that I cannot pay, is in the gutter. I am very likely to be denied for another loan, and even if I do- my interest rates are going to be the worst. Essentially, I am being punished for wanting to be an educated young woman who comes from a bootstrap family.

I intend to work as hard as I can the entire summer. Whatever you can give will help; even $50 could help me. I attached the screenshot of my previous loan for reference of what I am likely to have to borrow again next semester, along with my grades. I managed to keep mostly As with a few Bs, even while mourning the sudden loss of my grandmother (which was my first family loss ever). I am a good, hardworking student, with a lot of aspirations in life. I am capable of doing it given that I have the backing to get through college.

The short version of it.
Due to how the system works, I have been forced into a corner where I can neither rely on my parents or my own hard work to get myself through college. Without outside help, I will almost assuredly be unable to finish my degree.

My parents and I are hardworking, kind people, who want to live comfortably and help those who are in need. With your help, I can do that and much more.

I sincerely thank you for your consideration. This means the world to me.

Hello there,

I am currently 24 years old, working full-time as a licensed nursing assistant in a big city hospital on night shifts. I remember when I first graduated high school, I did not know what a ‘major’ was but after getting accepted to all three of my state’s universities, I decided to venture out and leave my hometown to go down south and experience the college life by myself pursuing a degree in chemistry. During that time, I made stupid decisions with the type of people I hung out with. After spending two fabulous years at my university, I decided to return to my hometown and transfer to the university close by my parent’s house. The reason I transferred was due to an overly abusive relationship that eventually became too much to handle. Long story short, I dated a man who was not familiar to failure and after he obtained a ‘C’ in one of his pre-med classes, he quickly joined the National Guard in a great panic truly believing it was the end of the world. After his parent’s talked some sense into him and he was immediately dishonorably discharged from the service, his parents threatened to sue me for destroying their son’s ability to manage school and for contributing to his emotional distress. So, as dumb as it sounds, I moved back home. Due to not being financially stable to continue my major at my hometown’s university, I changed majors and nearly finished most of the degree at my town’s college within two years. Unfortunately, I hit a financial roadblock and now, being three classes away from graduating with my bachelor’s degree in psychology, I am left with a hefty bill from the university and am forced to pay it off before I am able to register for those last three classes. I owe $11,000 to the university. This is not the start of my financial mess, but not realizing how much of a hole I was in, I made a few terrible credit card decisions when I initially returned home and eventually defaulted on all of them. I paid off my credit cards (thank god) but now I am left with a ridiculed credit score with no chance of being able to apply for personal loans to help me with my schooling. I have a total of $43,000 in student loans. I would be very willing to pay this off on my own after I attend school to become an RN (a year worth of schooling to obtain a master’s in nursing), however, I am so stuck in a financial hole that I cannot move on for a while. I did not make much as an LNA in my hospital and had to take on another job at a clinic. I worry that I will soon grow very tired of working the long, physically demanding shifts that I am required to do to make the payments for my loans and this school bill. I just want the freedom to graduate and continue to attending nursing school. I am very highly motivated and do many other things to make money, such as selling stuff on OfferUp or Craigslist, clean houses for nurse friends at work, etc, but nothing has made a dent in the bills that I owe. I don’t want to injure myself before continuing my school. I am asking for a donation of $11,000. I would like to have my entire debt cleared, but $11,000 would help me finally move on in life so that I can become the nurse I know I want to become. After becoming a nurse, I know that I would work constantly to earn my financial freedom and pay off my student loans. I am excited just thinking about the kind of freedom I would have as a nurse. I would like to maintain my financial independence and not beg my debt to go away, so I ask for $11,000 to help clear my university debt so that I can finally graduate and move on. Please, to whomever is able and ready, I hope that this message has helped explain my predicament and I hope to one day be just as generous with my money as you are. Just understand, I would give anything to become a nurse.

Thank you for reading my post,
