Hi, my name is Orrin Lyle Williams. I am 30 years old and love in central Pennsylvania. I met the love of my life a little over 2 years ago and we started the journey of our lives together and will forever be together. Her name is Rebecca Elizabeth Wright. Our relationship has had many trials and tests so far, but now more than ever we are being tested. Our love is unbroken, but with everything going on in our lives, the fact that we are not monetarily sound is a huge issue that is very trying of our spirits and our love. I am a veteran of the U.S. Navy, however, due to my own bad decisions and poor choices of my young life, I find it exceedingly difficult to find employment. I am very ashamed of this fact. Honestly, if someone out there would be willing to hire me for anything, as long as it was a full time job and would allow me to provide for my family, well, that would be the greatest gift they could give. I’ll do anything it takes. I’ll clean your toilets, and I’ll operate and maintain your nuclear reactor. This is not a joke. I’ll try to get to the point. My greatest wish is to provide my family with a good life. MY Family includes myself, Rebecca, our unborn son, and Mckayla and Mckenzie.  Mckayla and Mckenzie are are Rebecca’s two daughters. They are fraternal twins who are 10 years old. Their paternal father passed away 2 1\2 years ago. He committed suicide by hanging himself. While I can never replace him, and I can only attempt to imagine the pain of the situation, I do love those girls as my own and someday 10 years old, and I hope to adopt them one day soon. Any money or any other gifts or donations that anyone would give will be used to give my family a good life. A house that we can turn into a home with h our love is my first priority. Transportation is another high priority. Money that we get in donation will be used for needs, not wants. I must let you know that I desire very deeply to ask Rebecca to marry me, but I will not do so without a proper engagement ring. While it’s possible that our donations might allow me to opportunity to purchase an engagement ring for her, I will have to decline that specific item. I need to work for the ring, I need to obtain by the sweat and hard work that it and she deserves. If anyone anyone out there can help me provide a good life for my family through donation and/or through an employment opportunity for me I would forever be appreciative and in your debt. Please help me to help my loved ones?

Hi,

My name’s William and I’m 23 from Australia.

I am ashamed to say that I have lost my money – $30,000 due to gambling, sports betting on my phone to be exact. This has put me into severe depression as I’m not able to cope with my losses due to the guilt and regret.

These decisions have cost me the trust of my family and friends which hurts me even more. I have ruined my partners plans to go on holiday this year, as well as my own plans to move out of home.

I also just recently had a costly operation of $10,000 which has also made me struggle currently financially. I’m extremely cautious of what I’m spending on as I am now on paycheck to paycheck.

I have already self-excluded myself from these betting apps and have been speaking to counsellors etc about my mental health.

I’m asking for a donation to get my life back on track and get me back on my feet. Your donations will not only help me regain my payment from the surgery, but it will also lift the burden off my back which will allow me to live life as appreciative as I’m able to.

I have lost myself in this deep hole and would appreciate any donations.

William

Three years shy of thirty and I still feel so lost in this world. I dropped out of college, after switching my major three times, and dealing with the struggle of being an indecisive full time student and a part time publix employee. It was rough I was stressed, skinny and sleepy all the time. I left publix about a year ago after learning about network marketing. I cashed out my stock and tried to sell life insurance and annuities. It could be a great field, but I am not a salesman. It’s hard for me to push a product unless I fully believe or use it myself. I am currently a server, working my butt off for tips, for that instant gratification I had wanted earlier in my twenties. Its not the easiest job I’ve ever held. I’m currently adjusting to earning cash, its slow season so we are only getting two nights a week. With Irma rolling through I lost those two nights this past week. This is just not enough to cover the monthly bills. I’m on here hoping, asking, begging for any kind of help. I want to go back to school eventually,  (I finally made up my mind, journalism will be my major) but as of current day I am more concerned with my car note 13,972.54 (behind two months right now, I owe 587.72) as well as my car insurance (150.00) my lovable old cat Snowy, and the big, possibly stupid, decision I’ve made to move out my moms house. ( this will add 565.00 to my monthly bills)  This ladies and gentlemen is adulting at its worst. I procrastinate and then I stress myself unto anxiety attacks and loss of appetite. This is not the life I want for myself, this is not a life I want for anyone else. Earth would be a better place if we could literally all just live freely, in the trees. (Lol) I truly believe in paying it forward, so the day I am finally on my feet and no longer financially struggling, I will be able to turn around and donate to someone else in need. I appreciate YOU taking time to read this and I am thankful a site such as this exists.

Hello, everyone, my name is Alej! First off, I’m a full-time college student pursuing a passion in business under the categories of beauty, fashion, food, and travel. It’s always been a dream of mine to run my own blog, and as possible as it may seem, school prevents me from doing that. Since I am dedicated to my education, I spend most of my money on books and groceries. I am also moving around late December.

In the picture above, I plan on using the cheapest option from Wix.com as a start, which is $5 dollars a month.

The main reason I want to pay for my blog: domain name. To explain its background, it’s the first step towards getting beauty industries/brands to take my site seriously as a review blog. They often look for influencers, writers, or reviewers alike to share their products with people, ending with a partnership. I also plan on using the website to link my future business (organic beauty store) after I finish up with school. I think this would be a great side job to make some money as I intend to transfer to a 4-year university sometime in Spring 2018.

The website itself is something I am committed to. I am only asking for $100 to at least get myself out there. I don’t expect you to help me as this is not necessary–but I would greatly appreciate it if you did. It would mean a lot to me and I would personally like to say thank you.

If you need more info, email me at littlegemgalaxy@gmail.com for more info. I’m having trouble uploading a picture of myself, so you can request one if you wish. Also, I apologize if there are any errors above. Thanks!

Hi To All,

I came to this site because I don’t know what else to do or where else to go. I’ve accumilated close to $30,000 in debt(as shown in the pictures I provided) and I have a son who is about to turn 2 in a few weeks. My son’s mother and I unfortunately are not together but I get days of visitation with my son and I also pay child support which I am struggling to pay but I still pay and they also hit me with retro child support of $3,400 on top of that. Aside of child support my son needs other things like clothes, food and etc. which he still gets from me because my family helps me out but that is not there responsibility it is mine. I would also like to take my son out to places but I can’t afford it and all of this is really hurting and depressing me. I am not trying to get rich or anything of the sorts, I just want to pay off the bills I’ve shown here in the pictures to better provide for my son and that is all. Once I pay them off I can provide the proof that the bills were paid if needed. I’m just a regular man/father with a regular job struggling to pay off his debt and who needs to provide for his. Please if there is anyone out there kind enough to help any little bit can help and would be much appreciated. My paypal link is paypal.me/FEM807  Thank you for your time!

So it’s been a very over whelming life for me and my family.  I just had finally gotten a job I that I actually loved. I was with the woman I loved as well for going on five years when I received one of the worst calls of my life. A fire had tooken her away from me and. Her family . The materialistic things don’t mean a thing that I had loss. That was my first ever loss of a person I was close to. Shortly loss my job couldn’t stop braking down. I was pretty close to giving up. Months later I found a job finally started getting my mind back healing slowly. Then I received a call on my lil brother and aunt being killed . It’s rough I’m the oldest of 10 siblings I have to stay strong for them. But it was hard. I helped them out trying to take care of my own as well but it’s been slowly putting me in debt. My ex’s mom’s home was owned but she had no insurance so I tried my best to help her out.  I helped with my brothers funeral cost as much as I could. I’m just really getting overwhelmed. It’s not that I just go asking for hand outs because I am the guy who usually hands out to people on the corner with a sign or when it’s winter and I see they barley have anything on to keep them warm. I just really care about people and have been there before with not much help. So I want to be others help. I’ve been looking for another full time job on top of the one I have . I do have an interview Friday .So please don’t think I’m not trying I really am. My depression is really starting to kick in . On my credit card bill I owe exactly 10,075.98 any help would be great . If pictured don’t go through please send me an email and I can send them to you.

Hello, i need help to be able to provide a better life for my son and to have a better relationship with him.

I currently live in a one bedroom basement flat which has mould issues so for health reasons and space issues I cannot have my son stay here, he lives 100 miles away with his mother and step dad so when I see him I can only see him for the day once a month. He has a blood disorder so I cannot submit him to a dank flat. The awful thing is now that I only see him once a month he has started calling me “gone daddy” and his step dad daddy.

I don’t drive, nor do I have the money to, my job barely covers rent food and child support and every time I see my son it is me who has to travel, he is never brought to mine to see me.

If I wanted to take anything further with access to my son I would have to go to court and I can’t even afford that, and to be fair I just want the opportunity to be a good dad and try to see him my hardest before anything like that happens.

I look after my mother who has MS alone as my sister passed away a year ago due to cancer.

That was a very tough time for us as it was Christmas when she passed away. My mother has never gotten over it.

I have ideas for businesses that may get me out of this rut etc but the banks won’t touch me for a loan and I have no idea how to start my own business. I just want a new start to life where I can feel secure and know that I can look after my son.

All I would like is to be able to see my son more and get out of this dank hole, that means getting the money to drive, a car and the money to leave this one bedroom flat. I’m not sure how much that will cost.

I would do anything for my son, obviously being a millionaire would help solve all my problems but that will never happen for me, all I can do is work my best and ask for help, I no longer feel like a real man that can support my family.

Any information given here I can prove, all of this is true, I know there are people worse off in the world but it’s gotten to the point where I need to ask for help.

Thank you for your time if you have read this.

I found and fell in love with the man of my dreams, but in a matter of time, he had isolated me from my former friends, waged war on both my emotional and mental states, rung up a $5,000 debt with me for bills supporting the household and monies spent on bailing him out of jail (that went to his lawyer) and skipped out on previously agreed upon payments which in turn ruined my credit.  While not yet fully healed, a chunk of time later and friendships still lay in ruins, I have no idea when I’ll ever feel ‘normal’ by way of thinking and feeling and trying to get caught up on his debt has created a cycle of more debt which is reaching it’s tipping point.  It is not until I am able to stop paying for my mistakes (literally, monthly) that I think I’ll be able to fully recover.  All of these things are tough to admit, and I know I’m not the only one to find themselves in this situation.  Please help me recover just that more swiftly by donating to my PayPal link below.  This is a moment when the kindness of strangers will truly make all the difference.  Thank you for your time and consideration.

Just last week, my brother returned home after an attempted suicide attempt. We’d recently underwent the divorce of our parents and started going to therapy, where my brother had talked about how he felt it was his fault it had happened and we wouldn’t be in so much debt if it wasn’t for him being a lazy son to them.

It obviously took a tremendous toll on my family, though we’ve been working to try and lighten things up by getting his favorite foods, going to the movies, and so on even if we can’t afford it. My family’s not very financially stable, since I have a single mother who’s unemployed and goes to college, and my dad is no longer in the picture. I also go to university and really don’t make all the ends meet at the end of the month. Food is usually given up for bills, and to put towards getting my brother his clothes, food, insurance, and etc as he recovers from the recent drama and whatever else I’m able to do for him, but it’s increasingly difficult to take care of myself as an adult in addition to my mom and siblings.

Anything is appreciated and would mean the world to me- seriously, a dollar from ten people would be enough to buy at least a few groceries. I’m working two jobs at the moment, so I hope I won’t have to do this again anytime in the future, but I’d really like to support me and my family as best I can when it gets tough like this.

Hello people.

I just have to start off by saying that we are having a very hard time by asking for help this way because we are a very hard working couple that likes to take care of ourselves and our six children. Yes six. A yours, mine and ours situation, big blended family.

As I just mentioned we do not like admitting that we need help because we’re usually the helpers, but a little over a year ago my wife was involved in a car accident that wasn’t her fault but rendered our family van totaled. She also suffered minor injuries that she still dealing with today.

Since the accident the insurance companies have been working to come to a settlement. While waiting for them to settle we have suffered through a vehicle repossession, numerous medical bills, late rent payments and other bills. Not to mention late fees and bank fees.

We have tried to keep up by asking family, friends and holding garage sales to help. But finally it’s catching up with us and we now possibly face another repossession and an eviction. Our efforts to stay afloat in the meantime are just not enough.

We’re not asking for a fix our lives amount of money. We’re just asking for enough of a boost to get through the next few months and really at this point anything helps.

It sounds bad, like we’re lazy or something, which is why we don’t like asking for help, but we are in need so from human to human please help us.

Hello Donators,

My name is Brandon and I am and have been trying to rebuild my name ,my life basically trying to fix my credit . As you all know your credit is your life unfortunately, sucks it has to be this way but it is. I am currently 5,000 in debt that I’ve been trying to fix . Of course not only for me but for a lot of people out there times are hard ! I recently was laid off of my job for whatever reason they felt necessary, even tho being told I was a great worker it was cause they had to “downsize” and me being the newest person I was the first to go.

The company is actually still operating so I’m still unsure as to why I was let go. Searching and finding another job has been so hard especially after working 10 years straight and NEVER being fired or let go from a job kills ones self esteem . This will have you questioning your abilities & value . Well over the time of working I’ve developed debt while being young getting phone services ,few hospital visits that i couldn’t afford , helping people ect. I’m a young black man just trying to get my life on track especially being out on my own for 5 years.

It’s just me and my pooch remy who is a lovable pit bull ! I just want to make life better again for both of us . Still in my job search I’m trying my best to make some money to keep my bills paid and food on me and my dogs belly and a roof over our heads . I may not be correct but reason I want my debt cleared is cause when I eventually start working again I need to purchase another vehicle ! Please help me a young man just trying to improve his chances to make it in life !

I pray there are generous people out there willing to help ! Being a giver my self I know the feeling of being able to bless someone in need all to well . Thank you in advance and if I don’t receive a dollar I just want to say thank you for at least taking the time to read !

Thank you so much ! Brandon!

My daughter father was falsely accused of domestic violence on an ex that called the police knowing that he had a background for childish unrelated things. She called in hopes to take him away from his family. She showed up at our home and told him if he didn’t want to be with her, he will not be with anyone. My daughter and myself are devastated because he would never do anything like that, and I was there the whole time. He loves his child sooo much and because he had a prior from 5 years ago, she knew if she said those things they would believe her and send him to jail. They will not listen to our side of the story at all and set his bond at 7,536. I have no idea where to turn I don’t have the money to get hums lawyer he needs and I have no way of getting that type of money. I work full time at a car wash but there is no way. He has been in there a month for something he didn’t do, and we just want him home. We both miss him sooo much. He doesn’t deserve to be in there for something he didn’t do. She knew what she was doing and at this point. There is no evidence expect for her words, but we want him home, and not sitting in there till trail is over. Thank you soooo much taking the time out the read this, and any little thing will help. My and our daughter will be forever grateful. She just wants her daddy home and doesn’t understand why he is not there at night to tuck her in.

paypal.me/singlemaof1 This is my paypal link if any could please help us. Whether it is for a lawyer and the bond him out :(

I’ve worked since I was 16 years old, I am currently 29 years old.  I have 2 precious kids, and a husband. We both work full time jobs (due to health care no way I could stay home, so childcare is $1,000 a month). 8 years ago I was diagnosed with Carcinoma In Situ Cervical Cancer , so far my recent tests have been good. 5 years ago my husband lost his 61 year old father to a brain aneurysm.  In order to help his mom not loose everything she had, we had to buy their home and put most of her bills in with our loan.  We were doing fine, But we have reached a spot in life where we need help to get out of drowning in debt bills and medical bills.  I’ve tried by borrowing personal loans to cover it etc, but we are still coming up short about $600 a month.  To prevent us from not having money, I’ve done cash advances from my credit card to cover our negative each month, but am getting close to the credit line.  The only way to be able to save up money and not have negative would be to get rid of some debt, but we can’t because we have to use debt to keep afloat.   I had my grandmother give us some, but everything happened at one time and we got covered in medical bills again, and I had my side mirror on my vehicle hit and busted (the person kept going, so I had to pay for it $350), then a week later my windshield got hit with a rock .  Our refrigerator stopped working, then 3 weeks later, our oven started malfunctioning (the oven would stay on and not go off even though we turned it off) So that was a lot that hit us at one time.  I would be happy with any amount to help pay off something. If you would like to help, please email me at nicholeh620@gmail.com where I can provide paypal information to.  I Would appreciate anything to try and help get some burden off.

Credit cards, loan, medical bills and car come to $70,000.

I am a twenty year old woman in the process of doing what I can to escape an abusive and, as a consequence of coming out recently, a horribly homophobic household. My father has been a toxic, physically/emotionally abusive, and controlling individual for the majority of my life and this environment has just been so destructive to my mental health and outside relationships- in fact, I learned within the last year that I have developed ptsd and severe anxiety because of past trauma and suppressed memories. I also have a past of suicidal tendencies, eating disorders, and self harm because of this environment, and I am scared because as much effort I have put into healing, I feel these same urges resurfacing. Things at home have just reached a climax and for my own sake, safety, and mental well being, I have to get out as soon as possible. I cannot heal in the place that made me ill in the first place and I don’t feel that I can make it here for another month because things have just gotten so remarkably hostile. I just really need some help; I scraped together enough money to make a deposit on an apartment that I can’t even live in until school starts in over a month, I’ve applied for a job as a graduate assistant that, again, doesn’t start for another month, and I have no reliable transportation. If you could donate anything, a few dollars, for a few basic necessities to just keep me on my feet for the next month so I’m not unsafe and vulnerable and roaming the streets at night- enough to afford an Uber so I can travel to a women’s abuse shelter several dozen miles away and stay there until school starts and I can live in my apartment, enough to afford bus fare to travel to a temporary job, to eat at least twice a day- I would appreciate it. I’m not asking for a large sum of money, just enough to survive, because it’s crucial that I leave. https://www.paypal.me/christinavictoria If you donate please let me know so that I can thank you. Thanks so much for reading this. ??

Hi ,

I’m writing this because i am in need of school clothes for my upcoming school year in high school! I have grown out of my clothes from the previous years being a growing boy and everything, So i decided to give this a try! It’s just me and my mom and most of her money goes into bills and putting food on the table.  I’m not asking for a huge amount of money. Anything as low as $5 can go towards 1 shirt from the mall. I guess what i’m really trying to say here is that any amount helps! I start school next month! So this post is my really my last and only hope! I’ve read online were some people suggest going out and getting a job for teens to make money, But i can’t do that because of the simple fact that i wont have a ride to get there, and it wont work around my school hours. Last year i went into a deep depression because i was being bullied for wearing the same clothes twice a week. I was constantly in and out of the principals office, having constant conversations of me being harassed by my peers for wearing the same clothes twice a week. My principal couldn’t just stop everyone from saying what they were saying because apparently everyone has the freedom to talk. But anyways i don’t want to get too off topic here.
I also need school supplies . My school sent out the ” Supplies letter ” were it explains what supplies you need to go and pick up.  We also don’t have any money for my school supplies . I hate asking to use other classmates supplies , Not because of pride but because the people in my school are very rude. I’d be lucky if someone would even let me borrow a pencil .  Honestly, I’m too embarrassed to ask any family member because i don’t want to be labeled the needy one out of my family even though i guess you can say i am needy. We can also get in trouble for not having the supplies that were suppose to have during our classes. That is also embarrassing to get sent out of class for not having the correct materials and having to lie and say that ” my mom forgot to buy them ” .

If anyone could help me id really appreciate it and wouldn’t know how to thank you enough !

Thank you for reading!

Dear anyone who is reading this text,

First of all I have to say, I don’t expect anyone to help me because that would be very very selfish, but I can say that I’m currently in a big need of some financial help of any sort.

I am from Serbia. I’m 23 years old and I’ve finished Primary Music School (6 years), Secondary Music School (4 years), University of Art – Music Department (4 Years) and I have my Bachelor’s degree right now. I also finished University of Dramatic Arts (Master Studies) – Recording and Sound Design Department, I’ve passed all of my exams and now I only need to graduate to get my Masters diploma. To do that I need to do a lot of work which is not a problem for me because I’ve done everything so far and for my 23 years I think I’ve accomplished a lot, but the last thing I have to do is to record a lot of audio material. My Masters work is called (Creative processing of human voice). For that I need to pay 500 euros to my college and I also need a better home studio than my own, I need better studio monitors, a better computer because when I start to record on my laptop, my processor is so slow that I can’t create anything better than recording 1 voice at a time, and I need to record a whole choir… That is not the only problem, my room is awful for recording because I have a lot of reverberation. I need good sound isolation material, studio monitors, a good desktop computer.

I am working but not in my area of expertise. I want to find a job that will suit me but because I am where I am (Serbia) it is very difficult to find a job, and I’ve looked, trust me I did. This is primarily a financial need for college education because I really don’t know what to do anymore and I am running out of ideas. I do have a lot of songs but they are all recorded very amateurishly. I’ve had a friend help me 2 years ago with a music video and he did a good job. He moved to America and I am hoping I can do this also. I want to move to Canada and continue my  music career. I do have a lot of Pop, Indie and Movie instrumental music. If you want I can send you links to my songs to hear what I make and what kind of music i prefer. I learned to play a lot of instruments but the piano (17 years) is at the tops of my knowledge.

I presume I need to write how much money I will need for all of this.
Only a good computer will cost me around 2000 euros, and studio equipment with college tuition and all the little things will also cost at around 2000+ euros, so all in all i need 4000+ euros.

Once again, whoever decides to help me with this, I just want him or her to know that he or she is helping a really young and motivated artist to become a fully recognizable artist who wants to leave some pieces of beautiful music to this world and for my children which I want in the future :D. Whoever wants to send me any amount I only want to say thank you and hopefully I can make you a song.

Hello I am Mike, a 62 year old federal employee – I have given nearly 38 years to the federal service of our great country, 7 of those years were in the U.S. Air Force – Security Police –

That was long ago, I received an injury while performing night maneuvers which limits my physical activities – but only a little –  I have always tried to be self-sustaining and I don’t promote my disability for any gains…

Do you smoke cigarettes?  I did for 35 years… do you drink? Enjoy a little libation here and there?  I drank for 40 years…

The last time you bought a couple packs of smokes, maybe an 18 pack of your favorite hops and barley – what did you end up spending – $20 – $30?

35 to 40 years ago $20 – $30 was a big deal seems like you can’t take your kids to McDonalds anymore and walk out without spending $30…

I wish I would have know the secret of politics back in the day, a politician, say just a junior congressman, gets elected riding on the wake of more legendary politicians – and he or she only lasts 2 years that’s it, no one likes them anymore.

Whoa, sounds pretty sad… but do you know that during those 2 years that politician had free health care?  Do you know that now even after 2 years – that politician will draw a pension for the rest of their lives?

Two years as a politician life-long pension – with free health care…

Disabled vet who has given 38 of his best years to the us government, serving you the great American public… I pay over $300 a month just for single coverage health insurance, on top of all the fees co-pays medication costs…

With the cost of living now a day, it is difficult to keep up let alone sock it away for a rainy day when you are living on a government salary, a General Schedule they call it.

I want to retire, and I want to retire soon.  Because I left the government for a couple years back in 2005 and because I took my retirement funds with me to survive my unemployment – $65,000.

I now owe the government $93,000 with interest – I don’t have to pay it back nice – a $93,000 debt I don’t have to pay; however, if not paid before I retire then I will not be credited for 22 years out of the 38 years I have given to the federal government and the American people.

If I was able to afford to pay them even $1,000 a month that would take me 93 more months before I could retire… that’s almost 8 more years, I will be in my 70s.

8 years?  Not bad – if I was 40 years younger and still had a lifetime in front of me to make those payments.  You see – not only does the government want me to give them my money they want to charge me interest on the money I haven’t given back yet… at the end of every year – just adds back the amount I was able to pay during the preceding 12 months..

It’s a vicious cycle… right now I live 1,000 miles from my children and my grandchildren, I miss them terribly and they are growing so quickly, I would give anything to be back home in Minnesota with them, being a part of their lives

Yet every time I get a retirement estimate from the government, it dashes those dreams and reality sets in – I feel like I will be one of those government employees that will die at his desk – another unsung hero…

All I am asking you is for a small donation, size doesn’t matter, I am trying to raise $93,000 by this time next year.

If you think about that, it would be maybe 9,300 generous heroes in their own right – 9,300 people donating just $10, that would literally save my life.

Thank you for listening to my story and may God Bless you…

again thank you – I appreciate your compassion and generosity

We are learning to ask for help. My wife and I have been married for 28 years and have raised 3 children. 8 years ago we had the opportunity to Adopt and we were pretty naive to all the possibilities that would come along with it. After we adopted the first baby we received a call asking us to take a sibling that was expected as well, and we did. We already knew that the first child was Special Needs and anticipated that the sibling might be as well so we tried to have some things in place for this addition that we did not foresee with the first. Social Services, appeared that they would work with us, but immediately terminated the relationship once we had custody of this child. Anticipating our only source of assistance that was available in the form of tax credit, we leveraged what we had to try and make everything financially “work”, but then our finalization papers were “lost” for 10 months which prevented us from meeting our deadline.

Since then, our debt has continued to build up due to the delayed interest that hit us before we received our tax credit, which the year before was paid in a lump sum and then the year we did claim it had been relegated to deferred tax. We are struggling to maintain our credit but cannot pay it off and move on. It has affected us in several areas because we now need to find a more suitable home for our children’s needs.

We have found that there are some very gracious people to help us at times that were kind to us in our needs but we are embarrassed to say that we could use some help. If you read this, Thank You for your time and we could always use Prayer.

We made a huge mistake and left our home country to make a better life for us in another country.  My husband retired from the military and we used our savings to set ourselves up in Canada.  It is not what we expected though and even though we are working really hard we seem to be going backwards.  We are both feeling like battary hens with no way out.  The stress and strain is pulling us apart.  Our children are ok as we hide everything from them. We are now in our 3rd year of this and we know that we can’t make it work but we do not have any savings to set ourselves up at home again and our families are not in a position to help and we don’t want to worry them.  We had our own business in the past and the economy has improved at home so we know we can startup again.  But we cannot do it without help.  Flights alone will cost a minimum of  $700 each and we are a family of 6.  We will  need a car and a van and tools to set up our business again.  We have tenants living in our house so we may have to rent a place for a while.  I am begging for help as I don’t what else to do. Please ..if you have money you don’t need…help us out

I thank you now for reading my request.

Hi! I”m gail. I am asking for your donation because, I would like to buy a local market. Here”s my story. When I was born my parents didn”t have much. As time wore on they became better off. My dad owned an oil company. He had it made. He opened a couple of conveinence stores. After a few years he sold one. Gave the other one to my sister. The oil company he gave to my oldest sister and my only brother. That left me. He opened a cigar store. I work it. Like it”s my own. But it will never be. My dad got too cocky in other business dealings. He did business deals with, a man named Kenny. They did this for a while. Then Kenny had a no lose deal. My dad gave him 2 mil. The guy disappeared. Now my dad owns the money. So he”s selling the cigar store and the building that it”s in. All my life I was told I would be taken care of. But, I”m not. I need to be able to take care of myself. I love to be
behind the counter. I love waiting on people. Helping them with their needs. I enjoy it so much. This would be a dream come true. Somethings that’s mine. Any donations I get will be gratefully appreciated. Thinking on it. I think I should tell you more about myself. I had an ok childhood. It’s what happened when I got married at 18. He turned out to be an abuser. He beat me. Tried to smother me (I had to fake that I was dead for him to stop. He tried to break my arm. Finally I got away. Divorce. I married again a couple years later. There were major red flags with him. But, I was young and stupid. He was such a jerk. He messed with my head. Started to associate with young girls at work. I asked him to stop. He said they needed him. I asked him about his own children. He said they were ok. They weren’t though. I finally had enough of him making me feel less than. I left. Never looked back. So, here I am asking for a donation. Thank you for reading. May the angels always be with you.

My name is Jon, I recently went on disability after being diagnosed with severe arthritis. It is really hard to make ends meet on just disability alone, and i’m running out of food in my cupboards and don’t get paid till the end of the following week, I also have mounting costs from credit cards that I’ve been unable to keep up payments on due to being given so little by disability that i’m falling into debt and Im going to loose my home soon so I will have upcoming moving costs. Also I have got a leaking roof and broken toilet that I’ve got to fix, so this will eat up all my disability cheque and most of my life’s savings and leave very, very little if anything for a month’s worth of groceries. My body can’t handle a trip to the supermarket every week so I buy my groceries once a month, but as i said before with the aforementioned debts I can’t afford to eat this month at all. I’m also diabetic, I am scheduled to have my foot removed in a month. The costs of diabetes testing supplies and other such medical expenditures is running me into the ground financially.  With mounting costs this month alone, not to mention in the coming months, I can’t afford to eat, I have no family, no friends, and I’ve developed agoraphobia in recent months after being nearly mugged at gunpoint and barely escaping with my life (I had no money to steal on me at that time) I have had to resort to having a grocery delivery service bring me my groceries, Just going outside to shovel snow or to get mail or anything minute or mundane as that gives me severe anxiety to the point where I feel like I can’t breath and one time I even passed out for a little while. Another reason for my agoraphobia is that I was being stalked up until last November by an ex partner who I broke up with and filed charges against after she woke me up to beating me on my head with a soup can in an apparently psychotic fit, she is currently incarcerated on an unrelated matter but I continually have nightmares about her return when she is inevitably released and probably will continue to try to contact me as she has tried to contact me 3 times while incarcerated, I’m considering a restraining order of some sort to get her out of my life. Sorry for the long rant, but I just wanted to share some of my background and present situation. The donation I’m asking for is 250 dollars, I just need that to purchase a month’s worth of groceries. For any donations received I will be eternally grateful. I just hope someone can get to me in the next couple of days as I am running out of food. The paypalme link is PayPal.Me/phoenixring

A year ago my wife of 25 years past away. After her passing I kept her wedding ring so I could pass it down to my son when he got married.

I found myself in some hard times and had to pawn the ring. And now the time is here that I need to get it out of pawn before the 12th of July 2017 so I can give it to my son.
I made a promise that he would have it to give to his wige to be.

I also have to make the trip to go where he lives and need a couple of tires for my car to make the trip.

I have been trying to save the money and sell what little I have left to raise the money myself but not having much luck being able to come up with the money.

Normally I am the one that gives to people in need and even when I don’t have the money I give.

I have a steady job but what I make is only enough to pay my bills and groceries.
I am a proud man and have always had a had time to asked for help cause I have always figured out a way to make ends meet.

I am in need a total of 1500.00 but any amount of donation would help, so I can get the ring out of pawn and tires so I can make the trip and be there on his special day.
Not only for him as a father but keeping the memory of my wife his mom would mean so much to him.

Thank you so much and god bless each and everyone that would donate.

Hello! My name is Amanda. I am nineteen years old and attend Florida State University. While my parents told me beforehand that they weren’t going to help pay for any of my schooling/living expenses, I didn’t know how much I’d end up taking out in loans. I ended my first year of college with pennies left in my account and about $20,000 in debt. I didn’t manage my money the best due to my lack of knowledge regarding how to manage money on my own, manic episodes that called for spuratic shopping sprees, and pure stupidity. My parents aren’t in the best financial state right now and my lease isn’t up until July so they have been scraping pennies to pay for my rent and all of their costs. This obviously made them very angry with me and they refused to pay for anything of mine over summer (including food, gas, etc.). While I understand their anger, I had pennies in my account. I couldn’t possibly live off of pennies until I found a job. It started when I filled my car up with gas one night since I was on E and just escalated from there. I am now over $600 negative in my bank account (half of it being spending money and the other half being overdraft fees). I don’t know what to do. I’ve been applying to jobs left and right and have stayed up countless nights trying to think of what I could sell to make up for it and came up with nothing. I know that it was my own stupidity that got me in this place but it is my parents who will have to pay for it with money that they don’t have. Or maybe they won’t even try to pay for it at all which would also be horrible. My dad has been depressed because of financial issues lately and I’m scared that even just hearing about this situation would push him over the edge. I would just really appreciate some help with getting my account back to at least $0. Please.
