I placed this under the “uncategorized” because it’s under a few different categories.

I’m just going to be honest I know these past few years haven’t been great for anyone. Covid has very well ruined the lives of many people. I had Covid before Covid and I know I did. I had it in February, I remember because of being laid up in bed on Valentine’s day.

It was horrid.

But I recovered from it thankfully.

Anyways this isn’t about that because the shit didn’t hit the fan for me until Covid was declared the pandemic. So during the beginning of the pandemic, I worked at a care facility for senior citizens and it was also a place for older people to come for rehabilitation after they had surgery also. Now mind you, I did work in the kitchen of this place but even the kitchen was affected by this.

First of all, having all of the residents’ pass affects everyone. Second of all, do you know how many rules changed daily? Sometimes even more than once a day. It was hard to keep up, it affected everyone mentally.

So I had to leave which was kind of upsetting because I worked there for a good few years. All for nothing it seems like. My mental health just couldn’t take it any longer though.

So I left in February of 2021 and was jobless for like three weeks. But my next job started and it was about right after that where shit hit the fan so to speak.

So March 13th I think it was to be exact is when it all first started going down. Our dog got sick and we had to take him to the veterinary, we had to take him emergency and even for an emergency, they couldn’t see him right away. We couldn’t take him until 3 in the morning!

We took him to the veterinarian at 3 in the morning to be seen. We were right though, he was sick. So we left the veterinarian with a bunch of medicines for him and a large bill. Which was the first of many because he had to return a few times.

A few weeks after my mother-in-law and Fiance ended up getting Covid. So then I had a sick dog and Fiance and mother-in-law to take care of. I got sick again too but it only lasted like two days because, well, I already had it. My Fiance had it the worst out of all of though. And she had it the longest. It got to the point though where I took her to the hospital, I thought they would at least give her an IV because she was super dehydrated from having a fever sky high for at least 5 days in a row. They sent her home with nothing though. Isn’t that crazy? I thought it was.

They both got better which is fantastic. But while they got better our sweet dog got worse and we had to make the hard decision of putting him to rest. Which we did on May fourth, 2021. And here we are six months later still crying over him.

And then after ALL of that from the stress of changing jobs, battling with Covid, and having to put to rest our dog. I ended up needing to quit the job I had because I was having chest and arm pains from everything and was out of work again now for a month!

The point is from veterinary bills and my bills and also my car needing repaired but not being able to fix it because I’m behind on bills. Combined with trying to get out into my own house finally since I’ll be turning 30.

It would be greatly appreciated if I could at least get enough help to catch up on my bills.

And if anyone out there does find this and would like to help, I just would like to say thank you from the bottom of my heart.

   Hi, thank you for taking the time to read this. What you do is so admirable, if there were more people like you in the world, it would be a much better place.

 I am Lori, I live in Barberton Ohio just a simple country girl.  This is so humiliating to be here on this end. It took every ounce of my being to muster up enough courage to do so. I do not like to ask anyone for anything, but this is my last option. I am always the one giving, I donate to the schools, hospital, animal shelters, and police. I even have bags in my car: toys and activity book for kids, and dog treats for the dogs that I give away while at the parks. I make sure that whom ever comes into my life, is happy and cared for before I ever think of myself. I love to make people laugh  and while all of this  is very gratifying, it is also daunting because I become a doormat. Sadly, people today do not appreciate things, they just expect without any respect.

Ok, enough babbling, the reason I am here is that there are 6 things that I am having financial problems with. I am not asking for help with everything, anything at all would help and be greatly appreciated. They are: 1)  Bills, and groceries 2) my car 3) washing machine 4) Go to Florida to see my ill dad 5) need to move and 6) go back to school but have a $38,000 school loan debt. Also, the pictures all are people that I will be mentioning here.

My baby brother has cancer for the third time (bone cancer this one), also has had 2 strokes in the last 4 months. Found out the strokes are caused by a blockage and that he is not getting blood to his brain. I have been helping him financially ands emotionally. I do not have much coming in, I got hurt at work and I am waiting to get my fourth and final surgery. I cannot work and Workers Compensation stopped payments after the first two years, it has now been 10 years.  I had to help my brother, but it really put me behind with everything.

I have been taking care of an older stray cat for the last two years. He relies on me to eat, but I am so worried, because  I do not even know how I am going to eat. I went to a food bank the other day and will be going to more.

 I have a car, but it is quickly creeping up on 200,000 miles, and something goes wrong with it every other month. The water housing, valve cover gasket, thermostat, etc. When I was driving on Tuesday, it started smoking from, under the hood, the temperature gauge flew up to hot and it stalled. I had to have it towed home where it is sitting in my driveway. I just did the oil change on it myself to save money. I have never done that before, but trying to cut corners any way that I can.

Just yesterday, my washer died on me. Now I have to try to come up with the money to buy a cheap used washer. 

While out of work, I went to school and had gotten my degree in medical office management. But, while doing my clinical at a cancer center, I realized that I can not be in an office all day. I have ADHD and I have to be outside. I would love to go back to school to be a geologist. The thing is I still have my school loan debt from the medical office degree. I was on workers comp when I graduated, and they would not take payments out of it because it is non taxable. So, I still owe the whole amount.

A year ago in November, I became the victim of identity theft. They try to get loans with my information, they were approved for unemployment using my information when I was denied. Last month they made 3 purchases from my debit card. They reversed the payment I had made to my car insurance and made three purchases. For three weeks I thought my insurance was paid until I got an email from my insurance company. I had to come up with that money again or was going to get cancelled. I had to wait to get refunded for the purchases that they made. I do have a reference number with the Federal Trade Commission.

For a few years now, I have been dying to move. I have been wanting to save to do so but never have anything extra to do it. However, In March, I did have a little extra. I opened a bank account6 at a credit union and put $290.00 in there. Sadly that is as far as I have gotten. I currently live in a duplex. We have to share the driveway, garage, yards, and you can hear everything through the walls. It is like living in the same house. I have been here for six years now, and would love to be in a small cute house with a nice yard. I love to do yard work and keep the outside nice.

The reasons that I have been unable to save anything are:  I was with my fiancee for a little over eleven years and lost him to cancer in February 2014. I saw him in his casket on Valentine’s Day. When he passed, we were broke from the expensive cancer medications. I had to let go of our house, get rid of our dog, and move in with my brother. I was left with bills, no dog, and lost my best friend.

Another reason that I could not save is my daughter. From the day that she turned eighteen, and her dad stopped paying child support, December 3, 2015 until November of last year, I helped support her. For the rest of her senior year in high school and all through her college, I paid her car payments and cell phone bills. She graduated from Ohio State in October of last year with a psych major degree. One year while she was at Ohio State, I even paid her rent too, so that she could enjoy college for a little while stress free. She joined a sorority, which I ended up paying for all of the fees, every month she needed extra for food, gas, books, etc., she even went and got  a nice new car. I thought it was great and I was so proud of her, until a week later  she springs on me that she needs $1,700.00   or she would have to take the car back. I came up with that. I did without a lot during those days, my electric even got shut off because I paid her bills. But, that is what a parent is for, to make sure their children are taken care of.

When my daughter graduated from Ohio State, I thought, Wow,  here is my chance to start saving to move. But, then I found out that my brother has cancer , and started helping him financially. It seems like I never have a minute to take a breath, that it is one serious thing right to the next, barely keeping my head afloat each time.

This is my last option because I can not get a loan, was denied, can not work, and was denied unemployment. I do not have anyone to ask, except for an ex boyfriend who wants me back. He has a lot of money,  but I can not get back with him just for his money.

The only people in my life are my brother, who is terminally ill.  My so (23), He is a union welder and travels for work. He lives with his dads older parents to take care of things. His dad died from a heroine overdose, and he promised him he would take care of his parents. My daughter, but we have not talked since November of ;last year. She just used me for the money while in  college.

  I found this out because she told me that she was getting back together with her boyfriend. She told my son that she thought he might be doing heroine, so I told her I did not think that it was a good idea. That she just graduate d with a psych degree, working with autistic kids. That she should not be anywhere near that stuff. She went off on me, saying that I do not know him, that she was not coming for the holidays, and did not. Also, that she was blocking my number, which she did. I said  “Oh, so you graduated and do not need my money, so now you are going to tell me to get lost? You just used me for that money.”  Her response was “Get over it”. I have not heard from her since, a knife through the heart.

I cannot ask my dad, he almost passed away earlier this year, and is still not doing well. This is tearing my heart out, because he is in Florida and I do not have the money to go see him. I want to let him know that I love him and  get one last hug before he passes. I can not talk to him on the phone, because he can not hear nor talk too good since his stroke a couple of months ago.

It was extremely painful when my fiancee  passed and this past year has been heart wrenching.  Everyday I wake up thinking that it is a new day, that things will get better. But then, it turns to instant pain and worry about money and getting that phone call that my dad or brother has passed.

Lastly, I can not ask the lady that gave birth to me, because she has detested me since birth. I do not ever remember any moment of being loved by her. My brother is her everything. We have not talked in years, but I got a hold of her to tell her about my brothers cancer. Her response was ” Well, when he dies, I will be joining him, I can not go on. Why can’t it be you?” I said, I do not have an answer for that, but if I could take his cancer for him I would. She has never answered my question as to why she never loved me. So, I finally stopped trying to get her to love me and moved on a few years ago.  The pictures are  of me at my fiances grave, my dad, my brother and I, Me , doing my clinical through school, my son and I, the stray cat that I take care of, and my kids and I.

Wow! I apologize, I did not planning on writing this much.  I hope that I did not bore you. I just felt like I had to explain  everything. But, no matter how this goes, I thank you for reading this. Also, I hope that you and yours have a happy holiday and a lifetime of happiness and good health.

                                                 Take care,

                                                                  Lori

 

 

 

 

 

I am in need of some type of help.  I’m not to sure how all of this works. I have never been in this situation before.

My brother has 3 kids whom live with there mother. This year is his Christmas with them.  Unfortunately, he has lost his job and is currently being evicted. He hasn’t seen the kids in over a month due to his living situations and no utilities.

The mother messaged me and asked if I knew if my brother would be getting the boys and sent me their visitation schedule.

Those boys love their daddy. I told her that no matter what my brother wanted the boys for Christmas.  (Knowing it would all become my responsibility)  I will not let them boys down even if my brother can’t do Christmas I have too some way some how. I have my own kids and struggle but was not going to break my nephews heart on Christmas.  The boys will be with me Christmas morning and I’m asking for a little help with making this a Christmas they will remember and to put a smile on their faces I greatly appreciate and all help and prayers.

My name is Zayra. I’m 25 years old & have fallen into some hard times. I recently caught covid and then shortly after was laid off from my full time job. Since I was working another part time job delivering food I haven’t been able to collect much unemployment. On top of that I’ve been taking care of my younger sisters set of bills due to her getting back surgery to due an injury from her job. Me and her also help out our parents who have always struggled to stay on their feet. However these types of problems and hardships are not necessarily new to me along all this chaos I’ve fallen into a Great Depression  it I’ve lead into some debt. My family is depending on me for rent this coming month I’m at risk of losing my car ect… if you can please please find it in your heart to donate to me it would really be saving my life 😭 I am a hard working girl with goals and ambitions and I need a second chance to make my life right. I would like to ask for $5,000.00, but anything donated to me is appreciated. My PayPal is @ZayraPimentel 

In February 2020 I had the opportunity to make big changes in my life, just before the pandemic hit.  I sold my home and moved in with family so I could focus on what I truly wanted to do with my life.  I have been focused on creating my spirituality based business for the past 8 months and made the choice to work with a business coach.  I have been doing well as far as keeping my head above water, working part time, and depleting my savings, but the pressure of finances is making me feel overwhelmed and I fear I will lose the momentum that I have going on with my business.

I have been very fortunate in my life and I have been able to help others many times over, but now I find myself in need of help to over come a space of time in my life when I’m on the cusp of doing what I truly I am here to do, and love to do.  I am an energy worker and nature advocate.  The spiritual based business, that I am working to get off the ground, is all about helping others to discover their true potential and to be happy in their lives.  It’s called Foster Your Feelings, my purpose is to realign people to their unique life energy and mentor them to use it in the best way for them, without resorting to airy-fairy woo-woo stuff.  My kickoff program is called “Practical Awareness” and I offer single sessions of energy healing for people and animals.

My why is to create the understanding that all of nature has a practical and spiritual significance, human-beings are the only piece of nature that is in need of a daily reminder of that.  The ultimate dream is to create a sanctuary for healing and safety for people in need and senior animals.

I humbly ask for this financial help to me over a hump of living and business expenses, as well as an unexpected car repair.  I lost some wages due to illness and had to take two weeks for quarantine, (thankfully, I did not have COVID-19).  There is a short trip for a retreat with my business coach where we will be filming a video for my website and I am in desperate need of my car.

I wish you all the best and good health.  Bless you for your understanding and consideration.

I’ve tried. Fifteen years ago he told me he was bisexual, and I accepted it. I could handle anything, as long as we were together; I loved him regardless. I fell in love with this boy the first time I saw him, in third grade. He was four years older- so I wasn’t noticed until I got my boobs and a new Camaro for my 16th birthday. We worked in Alaska on an off shore processor when I was 19. We were married when I was 21, and have two awesome daughters that are now 23 & 24. I considered him my best friend, unaware of the secrets he gleefully kept from me…he loves hiding things from me apparently. I found his box of panties he had hidden, and his box of adult toys under the staircase.

We had a tough conversation, I accept who and what he is, and even had fun with it.  A few years after this, the housing market crashed in ’08; he’s a journeyman carpenter/home builder- we lost everything, including a dog. My career had always come third- the girls, his job, then me. At the time, our girls were 11 & 12. We relocated to Illinois from Missouri.

I tried, again, to go back to school, but hubby had a serious accident, almost died (I literally saved his life), I took a hit mentally after this one. I was unable to leave the house. We were going broke, and about to lose everything, again. Luckily, the girls had their own apartment near their college.

I am a very adaptive person, I’m also a bit twisted as I was physically and sexually abused as a young child, and adopted. I had to come up with something. Hubby and I had a large collection of adult toys by this point. We had fun. With a collection of toys bigger than any adult toy store- I had him build me my own personal, exquisite, dungeon~  and I became Miss K. (this came naturally to me). Hubby is a craftsman, the gear I have is….it’s crazy. I also ran the website for my business, as most of my clients were married men, they couldn’t keep their photos- I stored them discreetly online for them.

I ran this up until two years ago. I was very successful for the area we were in. I even lived in THE Bellagio penthouse for over a month! Well, hubby started to hate me being a Dom, so I packed it all up, put it in storage. We had to move- as clients would keep coming by. They miss me to this very day. We moved to Michigan- my favorite state.

I went back to regular work (production manager), he went back to building houses. Then Covid hit, and once AGAIN- poof! We were both laid off.  We moved into our travel trailer instead of incurring more debt. These tight quarters, coupled with this stressful situation, has led us to some serious conversations. We are not in love with each other anymore. We will always love each other, but its just not there anymore. I asked him what it will take for him to be happy- he replied, “a man.” I can’t compete with that, and now I am stuck in this RV 24/7. He is working at building houses again. And I’m stuck here in the woods- alone. We have to leave Michigan soon, as it will be getting too cold. He has skills to keep him instantly employed, wherever we go, not so easy for me. I need help to get out of this mess. Its time for me to go. I can’t keep on this roller coaster.

I am trying to get money up to get on my own so I can time and space to think about what I need to do to be self reliant. This is the first secret I have ever kept from him. I was a really good wife, and a great mom. I have never cheated, nor lied. I need a break.
