Hello, everyone. I’m trying to remain composed as I write this message to a sea of strangers. My financial insecurity is recent and snowballing before my eyes. I am requesting help to pay my credit card debt of $6406.85 and school tuition of $1449.00, for a total of $7855.85. I would be grateful for any assistance.

My problem started two months ago when I decided to do my own assisting. My mom and dad filed for bankruptcy and were drowning as the process took place. It was to the point where they were going to a food pantry for meals and donating plasma for gas. My mom got so desperate that she reached out to me and asked for help. She has never done that. I gave them whatever I could to help. I exhausted what little resources I had to PayPal them money. It made sick to my stomach to imagine my parents homeless or starving. I felt responsible for their safety because she reached out.

Throughout all of this, I have been working on my Bachelor’s degree. I graduate in February of 2019, but because my finances have been tapped out, I can no longer afford my last set of classes. I only have four more classes until I’m done — I can taste the end. I’ve set up a payment plan and everything just to give myself some time to earn the money. However, I am so bogged down from helping my parents, that I can’t dig myself out in time.

I know these financial problems won’t happen again, because my parents’ bankruptcy has now been finalized. They are okay currently and working on building their savings. They are unable to help due to their own problems.

I do work, and I do volunteer, and I do freelance jobs on the side to earn what I can. Unfortunately, I’m only one person.

I’m sincerely asking for help. Any amount. I’m embarrassed to put myself out there like this. I will even provide writing or editing services to repay back any donation. I will send you books in the summer time. I will make lemon bars or cookies. I will do what I can. I will pay it forward when the time comes.

All I can do is put myself out there and hope for the best. Thank you for listening to me. Any and all help would truly mend my heart. Thank you so much to everyone reading.

Hey there! My name is Victoria and I’m 19 years old. I’m from Maui, Hawaii and Was born and raised there. After graduating high school, I decided that I wanted to move away for college. I ended up accepting attendance at Arizona State University in Tempe, AZ. I went there for my freshman year and majored in Psychology. I loved it there. The education is outstanding and the social life is the best! Tempe is such a great college town and everyone is so nice. Unfortunately, My parents have been divorced, my mom is not financially stable as she thought she was and since my dad paid for my whole first year of college, my mom was supposed to pay for my second year but just could not do it and I don’t want to put a burden on ANY of them, so I agreed that I will come back to Maui and just work until I am able to go back to AZ. I am living with my dad now on Maui. I don’t have my own room but I make it work. I’m working full time at a restaurant to make as much money as I can. My main goal now is to move back to AZ and get my own apartment and get a good full time job. Then, eventually I will go back to school but, I want to go back as soon as possible because I’m determined to get my degree! Psychology has my heart. It is so interesting to me. I loved my Psych 101 class!!! Lately, I’ve been itching to go back more than EVER. People here aren’t treating me well and not having my own room is driving me crazy. I love my dad and I’m thankful he is letting me stay at his place but I need to get out and be independent and on my own! I have so many things that I want to do and being here makes me feel like I’m being held back. I would get depressed some days and it would be really hard at work. I’m thankful for everything I have right now, but I’m trying to move forward with my life! I’m ready! I’m NOT the type to beg for money so I don’t even know why I’m on here. But any amount would help me so much. I’m trying to move by the end of next month. I’ve already told my job because I need to get this going. If you actually read to this point then I applaud you and I hope you can help me out any way possible! Thank you so much!

Hello!

My name is Victoria and I am a freshman in college. I have been struggling with a lot of things recently and one of them is money. I have a long story and I want to explain it so that people understand why I am asking for money.

To start, I came from a busy city with a lovely family. Or, so I thought. I lived with my parents and grandparents who helped raised my siblings and me. We always had issues with my father’s side of the family, my aunt for one. They never knew how to act and eventually, my aunt ruined our life. In September of 2017, my aunt managed to manipulate my grandparents and caused a huge fight to result. Police were called by my grandmother and after they left, it was just my parents and my siblings in our home. Things cooled down and we thought nothing of it.

A while later, a deputy arrived at the home to remove my father from the premise. My aunt managed to convince my grandparents that my parents, or mainly my father, had been committing fraud and elderly abuse.

All of us were in shock and later we were kicked out of our home, despite my parents being co-owners of the house and making the payments. We moved to another city in late October of 2017 and managed to struggle with my mother’s dad. He is a hypocritical man, one who preaches false words of religion. Although he still is my grandfather, he did no good to us. He forced us to keep our dogs locked up, our turtles to remain outside in the COLD, and harass us all with his religion.

I was forced to move schools, along with my siblings. In doing so I missed a lot and struggled for a while to catch up with the new one. During my winter break, my grandfather argued with my parents and kicked us out. My family became homeless for sometime, living off of ramen cups of noodles, hot pockets, and whatever we could afford to survive off of. We struggled to find a new home.

When we did, we had to go to court. We went to court against my father’s parents and thankfully, we were able to prove that we were not guilty. In this time, I had to miss school to testify against my own blood. The family I had grown with was no longer blood, and that devastated us all.

Fast forward to now, 2018, and my parents still struggle to make rent and pay for our bills. I was supposed to go to the University of Redlands… but I lost that because my financial aid would not cover the entire cost because their office mixed up all my paperwork. I was forced to go to the community college nearby and now I continue to work hard to eventually transfer in 2 years.

I ask for money to help with my textbooks, parent’s bills, and for myself. I am a full-time student and cannot get a job because I do not have a car. I cannot afford one, and neither can my parents. If you read this, I hope you find it in your heart to send me anything. Should you like to hear more of my story in better details, I will tell you.

Have a blessed day and thank you.

Hello. Thank you for reading this, even if you may decide not to help, I still appreciate it!

To start, I don’t make much at my job to start with and I am looking for another one, but it’s very very hard to find anyone willing to take me. I hope to find another job before Christmas, but in the meantime, I am afraid this site is somewhere I am forced to turn whether I know it is possible to hope or not.

I also have quite a bit of debt because a year or two ago I had to use a good chunk of my credit card and have yet to be able to pay it off fully. I have tried to keep up with payments, but when my debit card is empty and I need food or gas unfortunately the credit card suffers further.

I am also trying to pay my parents for my car, for which I need to get Snow Tires to replace the nearly bald ones still on it, before it truly begins to snow here where I live, as well as the help they have provided for several months’ worth of bills. They have been a huge support and I hate to ask them to help me again. I am also trying to move out of their house and every time I try, I receive another large bill, whether school doctor or life related.

And now my school, my college, has sent me a surprise bill that I have to pay off in the next two months. Needless to say I am a little panicky. I also have been having troubles that I wish to go to the Doctor for, pain in my chest and constant fatigue, but I am constantly talking myself out of  any such trips, because I am scared of what those trips could reveal and therefore what exactly they would end up costing me, money.

I would be so unbelievably grateful if you could help even the slightest bit. With the state of my job, my car, my apartment search, my credit card debt, my bills and college tuition and life in general, I have so much I am stressing over, and just, anything to help alleviate that stress would be huge to me.

Thank you so much for your time and if you do donate, your generosity! It really does mean  lot to a poor college student in need!

Hello, first of all, thank you so much for taking the time to read this. My name is Paola and I currently live with my parents in the US… my dream has always been to study and become someone in life, but with the lifestyle that I am living in that dream seems impossible. I am not asking for someone to come and fix my whole life because I know that’s impossible. I hate living here, I hate the town I’m in and I just want to go to college and be something… asking help from my parents to go to college is literally a pain, they laugh every time… And i know for a fact I do not have their support like I wish I had… I am currently working full time trying to save so I can move out of the country and become a college student so I can  help people later on. And also to move out from my parents toxic and abusive household. Ever since the passing of my sister I been in a dark state of mind, i feel like i would be happy if she was still with me but I cannot take it anymore. My parents fight all the time and make my life miserable. I want to run away and create a new life. I am so unhappy in this place it’s unbearable. From what I’m making I can afford to get a place but not for my tuition for college or books. Please. I am begging for help to archive my dream. I’m trying so hard but a little help would help a lot… I am also doing this for my her… (My sister) who always was and will continue to be by my side. I wish you all a good holiday season and again thank you for taking the time to read this. I appreciate it.

Hi,

Dearest reading this who can help someone out. I thank and salute you for your endeavors to reaching this platform.

My little sister 22 years old now has been going to a community college and paying for her college out of pocket for 3 years now. She started with a phlebotomy course got a job and decided to go after her dreams by going to college. While she made this decision she sacrificed going to a college that her friends go to and chose a better suited college for her budget. She didn’t ask mom and dad to pay for her college once. She didn’t take out a loan.

However, this journey of going to work and college full time, somewhere along the line took a toll her on health. She had to be admitted to ER many times because of panic attacks and was admitted.

To keep her mind off work and to look forward to things in life. We encouraged her traveling around. She then too paid for her own travel needs. She has a big heart she gives and treats people every chance she gets birthdays, friends day, every occasion making everyone feel special.

In her need to do that and cutting down a few hours of work while going to school full time. She isn’t able to pay for her next semester in full. She reached out to me too late to pay half. Which I am unable to do for her. She has helped me out so much since we were small. I wish I can do something for her trouble.

She will fall out if there’s a gap between her studies. She’s a straight A’s Student. I will be encouraging her to apply for scholarships soon.

If we can cover her tuition fee for even one semester of $3,000. That will be a gesture that will make her feel this world is beautiful indeed.

I have never done anything like this before, but I am willing to give it a shot considering my circumstances.

I am a first-generation college student. I go to class full-time as well as work as a pharmacy technician to pay for my tuition and living expenses. I am in my senior year, about to graduate in May. I have been offered a seat at my top choice of pharmacy schools, but I am struggling immensely trying to pay all of my fees to accept my admission.

I come from a very low income family, so all odds were against me even getting to college, let alone getting to a doctorate program. I have been putting myself through my undergrad alone, with no help financially. My entire life’s work has been dedicated to this dream of pharmacy and I have worked my tail off in my academics to get to where I am today. I would be absolutely devastated if I wasn’t able to attend simply because I am not able to pay the admission fees required.

I have already spent everything to my name to pay the $500+ just to apply. Now, as I am struggling to recover, I still have to come up with the money or a $70 charge for a background fee and then fees for drug testing, required shots and tests, etc.

Not only this, but I still have to pay for my last semester of undergrad tuition in a few months. If I am able to pay these fees and reserve my seat at pharmacy school, I am also going to have to move to a different state and find a new apartment, which is going to be another financial strain.

I know I am probably not as deserving as many of the people that post on this site. But, if I am given the opportunity to pursue my dream and get to and through pharmacy school, I hope to one day return any generous donation given to me to other people on this site. I just need help getting there at the moment.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story, even if there was no donation. I appreciate it very much.

I grew up on less than a $20,000 a year income in a family of four. Both of my parents were disabled; my mother has Fibromyalgia and a number of other illnesses but still pushed and persevered throughout my life to hold jobs as a teacher assistant and a daycare worker because she wanted to show me and my brother that no matter how hard things are we should still try. My father had heart disease and a learning disability and eventually died of cardiac arrest it several years ago when he was 42.
Despite our family’s struggles, not a day went by when my younger brother and I ever went hungry because there was no food to eat. They never did anything illegal to make it happen, I don’t know how they did it but I will never forget the miracles my parents (especially my Mother) did for me and I promised myself I would love my Mom and always take care of her for everything she’s done. But I’ve run into a problem: About a year ago, I became no longer eligible to receive Grad Plus Loan due to my credit history and without it, I cannot financially afford to finish Grad school. While an undergraduate student, I used two credit cards while working part-time and in school full-time. Juggling the two was overwhelming, and with little knowledge at the time of how critical the impact of my credit is, the decision was made to quit my job and finish school with every intention to pay the remaining credit balances off one day. However, in mid-2017 that decision caught up to me. I have learned my lesson with credit cards and make no excuse for my mistake. But if my remaining school balance at American International College is not covered in time for the Spring 2019 semester, I will become unenrolled as a student and unable to complete my last and final semester of graduate school and likely unable to give my Mother and our family the support and better life they deserve.
The only 2 ways the remaining school balance (and college tuition overall) can be covered, which will enable me to finish graduate school, is either by one of the two adverse accounts on my credit being paid in full, or my remaining school balance with the college being paid in full directly. The amount of the adverse credit accounts are $607 and $1935; one of these accounts is required to be paid in full or the school balance to be paid in full directly, which is about $7300. I have been working to make payments on the $7300 school balance to keep it out of collections while also trying to save up in order clear my adverse accounts. But I will not be able to cover my expenses alone in time for the Spring 2019 semester. If you are able to, my family and I would love it if you would please make a donation to help. Any small amount will greatly be appreciated and be put to good use.

I graduate from California State University this May and am so scared about what is coming next. I am currently surviving thanks to grants and financial aid that help pay for books and rent. I receive food stamps monthly to pay for food, but they run out before the end of each month. I am in debt to pay my tuition, but that is expected with any college career. I have been solely responsible for paying for all of my schooling.

Once I graduate, I will no longer have these finances to rely on. I am currently working a minimum wage job, but only part time since I am a full time student. My current roommates all move back home during the summers, but I don’t have anywhere to go so I will have to find another shared room (I can’t afford a personal room in southern California). As I see work, the cost of transportation will also be a heightened expense (I currently receive a discounted TAP pass as a student).

I have crunched the numbers and even working full time at my job, I will struggle to make ends meet. During this transition, not only will I have to find new housing and prepare for higher transportation expenses, but I will also have to invest in a new wardrobe that will be appropriate for my new role.

I am looking for financial help to find me through this gap period (May-August) while I interview for jobs in my field. I will be graduating with a BA in Sociology and am aiming for a position in Human Resources. However, next semester I am taking a position as a research assistant so I hope that that will be a networking opportunity.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I transition into my professional life.

My name is Bailey and I am a 21 year old college student. My family has experienced many hardships and due to an overwhelming amount of medical bills, I am on my own trying to pursue a higher education! School has always been a dream of mine it is very stressful trying to focus on school while the constant worry of paying tuition in on your mind. I am pursuing a medical career in physical Therapy and this semester I am still $3700.00 short. If I cant pay the remaining amount I will no longer be able to attend the university for the next semester. I am extremely dedicated to this field of study and excel in school. I just need that little bit of support to keep me going!! I am a soldier in the Army and have exhausted all the available funding for this year and still short. I would greatly appreciate any support and help you are willing to give!! Thank you!!

I am sure my story isn’t abnormal from most people, secondary school is expensive and life happens.

I had the opportunity to continue my education at the age of 25, right around the same time I got married. While being married I had to post pone a semester or two due to be husband losing his job after the company he worked for shut down. Then postponing again when he decided to leave. I ended up moving back to my parents house in hopes to regroup and get some joint bills paid. When I say he left he disappeared and left me with a mountain of debt. After a semester had passed I tried to go back and finish but I wasn’t able to juggle the two jobs and living an hour away. I still owe the university I went to $850, which I have been making small monthly payments to chip down the balance until I am able to get it paid off completely. I am wanting to go back and finish what little I have left to do, I prefer to finish at that school, but even if I find a different place I would want to go to I have to get the $850 paid off so they will release my transcripts. I am also wanting to hopefully get more than the initial $850 so I don’t need to get anymore student loans to pay for the additional 20 hours needed to finish.

     Hello everyone, I am a 19 year old college student. I live with and was raised by my single parent that has to go above and beyond just to make ends meet. Unfortunately, that’s not enough. Over the last few years we’ve been bouncing from place to place, sleeping on people’s couches. With that being said I have absolutely nobody to turn to when I need help financially. There is not a single family member that I can turn to in this time of need. Also, I don’t have any public assistance. 

        Typically, I am not one to ask for help but I feel like I’m at a dead end here. This is really my last resort. It feels like every time I turn around I owe money (not because I put myself in these situations) and it’s becoming extremely exhausting and overwhelming. This has put me in such a dark place that I can’t seem to get out of. As previously stated, I am a college student full-time. I currently have an internship, but the amount paid is little to none. 

         To be clear, I am not asking for money to cover the costs of my recreational activities. The money I’m asking for is for financial debt such as tuition and other things school related and bills where I have no control of the costs. I aspire to be a successful forensic accountant in the future. Being a forensic accounting major requires books costing hundreds of dollars. Between the hours of the internship and school, I don’t have the time in my schedule to seek another job, and believe me, I’ve tried. I’ve tried to find freelance work, even become a sitter, but those are pretty dead-end for me considering the lack of experience in those areas. I’m saying all of this to say I’ve tried every way that I know how to have a good source of income and I have no results. I have a good head on my shoulders, but this financial burden is weighing on me. If anyone is able to donate me money I would gladly appreciate it and trust that your money won’t go to waste. I am a very responsible teen that is longing to be in control of my financial priorities which is school. 

Our names are Joel Herrera and Jayson Alexander Herrera Correa. We are students at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) as well as brothers. We were raised by our single mother and we have a younger sister, Melody as well. My brother and I are the first of our family to attend college. Being the children of a single immigrant mother meant that we had a very little of even making it into a college, but God has always shown his glory through our family’s life. Recently we have come across some difficulties with obtaining the money in order to stay in school and are at risk of having to drop out due to the cost. Jayson is barely half way through his first semester of an extremely competitive cinema program and Joel is on his second year on his way to a degree in Mass Communications. We have prayed restlessly on this topic and we decided that starting a Go Fund Me would be the best way to get our message out and ask for help. I only wish to be able to finish these years of school so that I am able to help out my community later, but with the odds stacked against us it is difficult not to feel overwhelmed. Jesus told us because “we don’t want to offend them, go down to the lake and throw in a line. Open the mouth of the first fish you catch, and you will find a large silver coin. Take it and pay the tax for both of us.”(Matthew 17:27). We believe that this is the fish we are called to catch, as to not offend the school.

Good morning, afternoon and evening to all.

I like most am pretty skeptical about these sights, but I also have heard of crazier things to be true. Just recently historical events as evidence. That being said I will do my best to save you the small talk and cut to the chase.

I am trying to turn the next page, start the next chapter, however you want to phrase it. I am stuck from a large sum of debt from wanting to be the next Gordon Ramsey, going to culinary school and yet sadly did not get a call back from food network after finishing and doing the chef thing for about 8 years.

So now here I am, trying to pay bills, save up money to buy the ring, get the down payment for an apartment to move into and start my life. My debt is something that I like many my age and my generation struggle with (Talking to you millennials).

I am a dollar short and now several days late and I since my gas station clerk refuses to sell me the winning lotto ticket I am willing to see who wants to help someone out. Anything is more then what I have now and if you decide nevermind and rather help someone else out, that’s great too. But we are all human, we all make mistakes (I just happen to make mine before I learned that I should of listening to those older then me when I was only 16) So thank you ahead of time, I have no idea if anyone is even going to read this but who knows. Let’s see where it goes?

Hello everyone.

I’m in a really bad situation and I’m going to go out on a limb here to ask for help. It just seems like everything that could possible go wrong is going wrong at the same time.

I just finished school last year, and played off my student loan in full last month, using every penny to my name, expecting to be refunded by Amazon’s (my employer) tuition reimbursement program. However, the process is taking much longer than I thought and it could be months before I see a refund.

As it is, my income is responsible for taking care of three people, and I only make $14.25/hour right now. Whenever we would find ourselves a little short to cover a grocery store trip, we had savings to use, but this isn’t the case anymore.

This leads me to the second part of my problem. I sell insurance as a side business for extra income from commission, and eventually plan to make it my fulltime job. However, last week I dropped my phone and the screen will not turn on. It’s unusable, and I can’t do any calling or appointment scheduling until I get it fixed or get a new one, whichever is cheaper. We rely on that income to be able pay bills, and it’s gone, so we are really struggling to live right now. We hardly had enough money to cover rent this month, and we will have to scrimp and save to make it next month.

I’m not looking for a specified amount, but at least $800 would be great, so that I can stock that away for rent and that won’t be a worry anymore.

I’m not one to ask for help very often, but I’m begging you, any little amount would be helpful. To me and my wonderful family. Thank you in advance. You can donate to paypal.me/matthewwalls98

Hello,

I am in great need of $2000 USD to complete my education. I am been growing up in a poor household and it has gotten to the point where my parents are no longer able to assist me with my schooling. I am an outspoken student with big dreams, however, I will not be able to fulfill my dreams not having the money to finance a good education. That is 1 of the biggest flaws in our society (children not getting a good education). Children are the future and without a good education how can they lead us later on? I am kindly asking for a donation from a willing philanthropist who sees the value of a good education. I would really appreciate it. Thanks for taking the time to read my message.

Ever since I was young my mother wanted to do all that she could for me and now I just want to do whatever I can for her. My mother has type 2 diabetes and her insulin prices have sky rocketed, my father has health issues that keep him alongside my mother from working. I’m a senior at a 4 year university who has been in college now for 6 years due to transferring and money issues, and I can’t afford anything. I joined a sorority 3 years ago and try my best to save whatever I make over the summer to pay for the entire year but its hard to save 1,200 dollars over a course of 3 months. My financial aid has completely run out and I’m not allowed to borrow anymore money even though each year my parents have had to dole out something to contribute to my tuition. I can’t afford to buy my books and my rent and utilities are more than I can afford. This year has been the roughest by far. I can’t afford groceries so, I go days without eating an actual meal. My one credit card that barley has a limit is maxed out because I needed to pay for my mothers medicine. My biological father hasn’t helped me since I started in college and all of the financial responsibility is on my parents. Seeing as this is my last year in college I would love to be able to pay for things and not have to worry about constantly owing something on a bill. I live 2 hours from my parents and don’t want to keep asking them to send me money that they don’t have. My parents house is close to foreclosure, all of my step siblings that have jobs continue to ask for loans from them and I want to do my best to help any way that I possibly can. Any donation would be greatly appreciated.

God Bless.

Hello everyone. My name is Sarah. I will like to start this by saying that I need help with two different things. One is for me and another for my family.

What I would be help for would be tuition for school that I struggle paying for. I do currently have a job. I make about $800 a month which is not much. Most of my money goes towards helping my family with some bills and other things my siblings would need for there schooling. Don’t get me wrong I am not complaining I am happy to help my family when I can. It’s just since I spend most of the money towards my family I can’t pay my tuition. I don’t want to take out loans because it would be worse for me in the future. So if anyone is kind enough to donate even a few dollars could help me.

The other part is for my family. My mother is struggling finding a stable job. She was a stay at home mom for about 10+ years and just recently got back into the work force. My mother and step father have been having a bad marriage for years and my mother wants to leave but she cannot because her job is not stable enough. So she stays with someone who mentally abuses her (also physically once) because she doesn’t make enough to take care of her & the kids alone. So what I am just asking is a little extra help. Her and I paying the bills get us by a little. Since my step dad barely ever pays the bill it is always left for my mom & I to worry about. So help a struggling mother. My mother. I want her to be happy and not always be stressed.

Please help. Anything you donate will be helpful. I & my mother will be very grateful.

Hello, my name is Dominic

I have had a rough life. My parents spent all their days working from dusk till dawn. They have given everything they had so that i could live better than what they had as children. I am currently just doing small jobs, but at this point we are living paycheck to paycheck. Because I am only able to do small handyman works here and there Life has become very difficult and hectic. There are weeks that i will work day to night to be able to pay for our meals. Sometimes i even have to go to the food back to be able to have food for my family.

I want to go to college and get my bachelors degree in engineering. Getting this degree would mean the world to me and my family. i would be a first to graduate from college. This degree would make it easier to get a higher paying job. it is very hard working random hours in all kinds of conditions with people who can tend to be very unpleasant. I am already planning to go to one of the local colleges, but not entirely sure which on yet. I know that i am going to major in engineering because it’s a big field here and it’s easy to get a decent paying job.

I have been saving up for two years now so that i can pay for my classes, but things have gotten harder. I am dreading taking out a loan because they making life harder. I am looking to get 2000$ to cover my school supplies and books. If i get this degree i will be able to get a decent job, and hopefully can give back to my parents for all they have sacrificed for me. Thanks for your time and god bless.

Hi everyone,

I hate to be on one of these sites and this is really my last resort. I’ve always been one to give things away.. and thats exactly why I’m here now. I went through college to further my education. I have major depression so I wasn’t always 100% into school. Eventually, My school dorms shut down and I had no where to live. In order to stay with my boyfriends family, I took out a credit card to help with bills. I found a job at walmart for awhile. While money was tight and my dorms closed. I decided to resign from school and just save up money and maybe return to college later when I could figure out my depression. So at this point, I didn’t have a car because my parents were never rich and hardly had their own things. I ended up working at multiple jobs and bus lines are not cheap. I was unable to keep a steady pay and now I’m stuck in this financial whirlpool. People often take money from me and use me to get things knowing I’m so nice about it. I’ve kind of dug myself so far in debt that I’m struggling to get back out of this hole. My grandma gave me $2,000 just for a gift because she knew I was struggling. The $2,000 took some financial pain off for awhile but now I’m back at square one. Now, my grandma is giving me a car (I can’t get it yet). I love her to death and would do anything for her. Considering she is giving me her car, I insisted giving her $1,000 back even considering I knew I didn’t have it. I’m a good $40,000 in debt from the bills and credit cards and school loans. I also have braces and they recently took me off my mothers insurance and its going to cost me $200 every visit. I go to the dentist about every 6 weeks and I’m just getting smothered by this debt.

If anyone could please help, it would mean the world to me.

I really thank everyone who took the time to read this! Thank you!

Hello. I am a young girl 20 to be precise. I turn 21 in November.. I feel silly coming on to this website asking someone other than a parent for money! I mean who wouldn’t, I guess I’m hear for some advice which is what I’d call money. So advice is money, and money is like a healing mechanism for most. I’ve recently came to the realization that god gave me the bad end of life. I was raised by a single mom, dad had 5 other children all roughly the same age when I was born. As I grew up she was always there, we were super close to each other at the age of 16 something terrifying happens to me. It left me scared and damn near homeless! I was a straight A student up until I found out my mother was addicted to cocaine and alcohol. It brought me so low but I continued to stay strong for me and my sister. At 16 my mother would always have different men in and out of our lives. She was strung and I was young. I was rapped by a man while I was sleeping. I was watched for months, I was sketched like if I were a cartoon character. She was high on drugs in the other room when it happened, and evidently I’m either insane or high off life according to her. I couldn’t even pin point exactly what happened that night, but I woke up not in the right state. And she moved away that same week with The Who made me unsafe. He was a killer after all. I stayed from house to house between my sister who hates me and a grandmother who’s wicked in her own ways. My sister was told by my mom at age 18 my father raped her. So now she goes around hating the world. Including me m, although go decided my life had to be even to hers. I was afraid to step outside and she made it worse, she’d tourney me and talk crap about me, bringing me lower than I already was. I live with mom now again staying away from drugs considering they all do them in my family. I was in college but it didn’t go to good. At all. Now I’m focusing on me, I need to better my life, though I could use an entire fortune. A small kin of 3509$ could get  me my first vehicle to get to and from classes everyday! The little amount could turn my life around! A kinder gesture of a larger amount would be appreciated as well. Thanks to those who took the time to read my post. Xo

Hello everyone out there! I’m a struggling college student named Lindzeh trying to make ends meet. Like everyone else I hate asking for money, but when your arms are tied with nowhere left to turn, the internet always has an idea or two. That’s how I ended up here sitting at my computer pondering how I was going to come up with $131.50 to pay for this access code for my class to do my homework and test assignments. I had just spent the last of my money on my overly priced car payment and am left dry until next paycheck which will of course, not be able to cover the cost for my class access code after I put aside what I need for bills. The college I go to hasn’t distributed my loan and won’t be until an ENTIRE week later. I finally figured out what I’m going to do to contribute to this society and failing grades cannot be on the agenda. I need help! Money is no laughing matter. It’s the subject of hair pulling, teeth grinding stress. Every week is the same, living from paycheck to paycheck trying to continuously make ends meet. I know what you’re all thinking. Why doesn’t she just put money away into savings every week like the rest of us? Well, smarty pants, I do! And life always throws me a curve ball where I have to pay out of my savings for a new tire, or to get my car fixed, or emergency gas to get to work. Im sure a few of you out there know where I’m coming from with that. I understand people have their own lives to live and money to pay to things, but even $1 helps in the biggest of ways! And if that doesn’t convince you, you can at least go to sleep knowing that good karma is on your side. Nobody can ever get enough of that! So you guys know that I’m not just some punk kid trying to swindle myself an extra $131.50, I included the photo of my webpage showing you all my proof! Not only that, but I’m currently looking for a second job so I don’t run into this type of situation again where I  jeopardize my future as a CPA. I’m a hard working, determined young lady with the drive to succeed! This money will no go unnoticed or be treated like a hand out. In reality, my reality, this isn’t $132.50 for an access code. My reality is that this access code is going to determine if I succeed or fail. Please help contribute to my success, and later down the road I will do the same. Thank you, anyone, for reading this and helping a college student out.

Okay, I understand that being $3,000 in debt is minuscule to other people.

I worked really hard to finish highschool early, and on top of that I was working between 40 and 80 hour weeks to help myself save up- but life happens.

I was working full time for a year (legal working age in my state is 16 so from the start I’ve been trying my hardest). But in July, I had the option of voluntary quitting my job or eventually getting fired because my boss who is a grown woman was more willing to call me a liar to all of her superiors, than admit the truth and get herself in trouble. If she had been truthful, she would be the one out of work and not me.

Life has this way of making timing either be perfect or absolutely horrible. I had just put down my account balance to pay for drivers ed, when this happened. And the next week I had to sign up for my college classes or else I would not be able to attend college a year early- which I had tirelessly been working towards the last two years. Waiting a year to start college would mean giving up the only real goal I currently have in life- which is to have my associates degree before I turn 19. I know it’s ridiculous, but this is something that really matters to me- so I begged my parents- who are 100,000’s of dollars in debt already, to put two of my classes on their debit card. This has caused my mother to put her own career goals on hold to potentially have to return to a job she does not want to have- and sacrifice things we need because of me.

I feel incredibly burdensome at this point- and I feel helpless as I have applied for over 50 jobs in the past month and haven’t heard anything back from anyone.

I am so desperate at this point I have been trying to sell anything and everything I own that has value.

Even doing so- the last resort has gained me maybe five dollars every two weeks.

And if tuition wasn’t enough- I know have a medical bill I cannot afford to pay but also cannot afford to ignore.

Please, even a dollar would help that this point- I do not know where else to turn. No one takes teenagers seriously, but if my debt continues to pile up I am setting myself up for a life of struggling. My only desire at this point is to be debt free by the time I turn eighteen.
