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…

Donate by following the PayPal link located below.

again thank you – I appreciate your compassion and generosity

Mike

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.

Hello everyone!

I’m 22, second year at college,  studying Cultural Management. My mom is currently unemployed for the last couple of months, and given her situation as being a gardener in a country like ours, where it’s pretty much impossible to find another job in her profession once you lose it. I did some jobs over student service in the last six months, but that is not nearly enough to pay at least 2.000$ (4.000$ per year) by mid-July 2017, for one semester, let alone both help to pay the bills at home and pay for the next college year. So, I’d be more than happy if you could spare as much as you can and feel for it, and I’d be more than grateful. Really, any amount will do. Currently, we are in quite hard situation, where we barely are able to pull everything together, the bills keep coming, and gratefully we are assisted by our close family, but as far as my scholarship, it is currently going nowhere. My mom got a job and literally had it for 11 hours before getting fired again due to incompetible administration in the company. I have tried to get some assistance over at the council with no luck whatsoever. People feel sorry, but are mostly unavailable to assist, and I’m aware that no one has too much money so I understand others as well. Anyway, if I don’t come up with money in the next 30-plus days, I’m definitely going to have to skip this year, which doesn’t sound good to me at all. I’ve had a chance to meet some people that had the misfortune to skip a year and then never came back due to unforeseen circumstances. A fundraiser like this is pretty much the only chance I got. It is just one of those situations that can occur in your life, and unfortunately, it happened, we definitely did not see it coming but obviously you should always be ready for things like this, and we pretty much and obviously weren’t. There will probably be a need for much more, but we hope well straighten things out soon, and I wouldn’t feel right asking for more anyway, as I know there are still people that need money more urgently than currently myself. I’d be much obliged if you would spare some money to help me. As I have mentioned, pretty much anything will do. Thank you everyone in advance!

Hi everyone.

Please help me help my Father? My father is forever helping everyone out and has been financially supporting alot of families back in his country since he’s left there over 20 years ago. He came here to Australia for the sole purpose to be able to find a steady job so that he may look after alot of people where he comes from. Unfortunately being crippled by a chronic disease that first started off as harmless Gaot (that forms balls of crystals in his joints due to acid building up) have now moved into his muscles and is slowly making their way to his bones. His attacks are alot more serious these days and also lasts anywhere from 3 to 4 weeks unlike before when it first started his attacks would only last for 2 days at the most. Now he’s missing out on alot more days at work and I am struggling financially to try and make ends meet with him and also myself because everytime he has these attacks I take time off work to look after him as he is bed ridden. I couldn’t keep up with my rent so I had to break the lease and move back home with him and now I am only managing to pay his rent and I am falling behind in bills. I am asking for help so that I may help him out until his specialist can come up with what treatment he needs. It has been 9 months so far and the specialist still insists that as soon as they find a solution or a cure to just make sure that we keep doing what we are doing and to make sure he continues to eat right (which he has always been a very concious person when it comes to that) and to keep taking his gaot pills. The gaot pills have now caused his kidneys to play up and he might have to remove one soon. My father is such a sweetheart and is always helping people and anyone can testify to that but unfortunately I am unable to ask family for help because they are the same people whom he was supporting financially over the years and they too don’t have money.

I am not asking for a specific amount as I am desperate and any help would be great right now. Even 5 dollars would really help me to help him out right now so that I may keep my head above water until we know what to do next by the specialist orders. Please pray for my sweetheart of a father but for myself more so that I may keep my spirits high for him and to be strong for him.

Thank you kindly to anyone who has read my Daddys story who will always be my super hero.

Hello, I’m ashamed as I type this request for help as I’m asking for donations towards £14,497 taxes that are due immediately.  The money I had put aside to pay for my taxes has been used for living expenses and mortgage payments. I’ve been out of work for nearly a year and can’t get an interview let alone a job offer. I don’t receive any benefits or financial aide. The market is tough where I live at the moment as whole rafts of us with similar skills were put off at the same time.

In the past few months some folk have been getting work and I was being optimistic that I would get a job too. Nothing changed. I would apply and not receive any feedback. Figured oh well the best thing to do is keep my chin up and keep trying.

Some days it’s not been easy to do that as the financial pressures mount each week. Low days have been common, but now I frequently burst into tears and am seeing my doctor, as I need to keep “up” to deal with this. Sleep eludes me most nights nowadays and all the other stress symptoms play out. I am working at staying strong and accept that it will be a challenge. My takeaway is that from this experience I will grow as a person.

Financial stress has driven me to this website as I don’t have any money coming in and am unable to make payment(s) or agree a repayment plan with the tax office. When I rang   to explain my situation I was told that I’m a risk of the debt being passed to a collection agency and that they will seize assets to cover the bill if I don’t have an income.

This has terrified me because if that happens I will fail employer financial health screening and be unemployable.   And if that were to happen then I would be in a whole world of pain that would make my current situation a breeze.

What has hit home is how quickly our lives can change by one small event. I take comfort in that my life can turnaround with one phone call, one job offer, one donation.

Thank you for reading my story. Any help you can provide will be gratefully received and I propose to pay it forward when I’m back on my feet financially.

Love to all.

Hellooo from me to you, I don’t like asking for help but it’s time I hide my pride as I feel it’s all I can do to stay afloat. I’m not sure what all to say or do, so here we go and hope this brings good luck Too! I am a grandma raising not one but two…a 7 yr old and a 5 to boot. (the father was booted from the Army on “Probable Cause of sexually assaulting our grandson”…then the daughter got into drugs not believing what she heard”) We’ve been thru counseling, a long time you see, questioned a million times “Namom, (Grandma) can he come in and hurt me again? Are the doors and windows locked, will you please check them again?” been taken to court which cost us $5,000.00 to help save the kids from the father who also tattooed  666 on his arm. Had to buy a 3 bdrm home as we have a boy and a girl…so they have their own room the way Health and Welfare says it must be. Husband tried to open his own business a few yrs ago, then had to file bankruptcy as the business went down the tube. After bankruptcy we needed a car, and the only thing we could get was a 2016 Jetta with $398 payments which I regret. I spoke with VW about trading it in or selling it outright to them and the most they would give me would leave me owing a big balance of $7,000 GRAND, OUCH!! Got behind on our house and  trying to save it, it would take about $136,000 to pay it off outright..the cheapest we could find, we don’t need that much but enough to drop our mortgage would be great. I need new dentures and glasses too, but it’s not about me it’s about the grandkids you see!! Money for a house to lower our payments, and would owe $7,000 after a trade in on car (to trade in on a Safe Cheaper car) I work part time as daycare is $38.50 a day for two, and counseling appts and Drs has me in a whirl!! Now for taxes we’ve been audited and they say we owe $4,622.00  I know this story may not sound true, but if you like I can prove it to you, I don’t know why we have so much going on…all I know is God has his plans and this is our story and Im sticking to it, it would do me no good to sit back and ignore it. I’m not proud to ask for help you see…but right now it’s all I can do to stay afloat!! I say thank you for your time and your big heart too!! Please also pray for us to keep our home for the grandkids to be safe!! I am 52 going thru menopause sweating from head to toe, ewe YUCK makes it hard to find fulltime work and to pay 38.50 daycare a day. Husband is 58 and works hard…but to feed us all and pay all the bills…we are on a Mountain climb! Thank you all for your time, thoughts and prayers and know whatever you donate will be greatly appreciated here!! Money, a prayer, and a hug or two!!   If I could just get 10,000 people to donate a $1 or $2 or $5,1 it would save us for sure without a doubt!!  Thank you and God bless!!  Hope you have an Amazing day!!

Iv had this all my life,  iv asked for the help,  iv tried to escape but yet I still live my nightmare everyday, no matter how much I try,  how hard I work I’m still here with nothing to show and his evil eyes still watching me,  my every move,  my life desicions.. None of it has ever been mine

I just want to be free live the life that I choose,  not to have fear,  worry,  stress

Iv felt like giving up so many times and I surprise myself that I am still here

Living with the monster that took away all those things is hard enough.. But I am still here,  I’m now in my late 20s and feel like I haven’t lived.. I dernt leave the house.. Too afraid to stand up to him or anyone.. Iv worked all my life from the age of 11 so why am I still stuck here in this situation?

Being sexual and mentally abused for many years takes its toll on you and you believe there is nothing left living for.. Change becomes even more scary and You feel like it’s yourself that’s in the wrong, you feel ashamed, lost,  empty

Sitting in silence for many years and when you finally do ask for the help.. What do we have?  I still cannot get a bookable appointment at my gp and my psychiatric team are useless.. Because why would I still be around that monster?. Because no one will help except listen and nod.. I hope someone on here is listening.. I feel like it is just only me as I have sat in silence for so long but I know and understand there is others who sit in silence also.. Maybe if the government gave us that little more help who knows but right now I’m still stuck and that’s why I’m asking for your help

Please just help my escape this nightmare

I recently dropped out of a fraternity process I thought I was very passionate about. And now I owe the fraternity money for the application.

It all began when I first entered college about a year and a half ago. I currently attend school in Syracuse University. My first semester was rough because I was very home sick. I was always used to being in my comfort zone and having things done for me. Now I’m realizing why my sister wanted me to attend a university and get away from home; to grow out of that. After my first semester, I found the Hispanic part of the school (I am of Dominican descent). Through the people, I met and events I went to, I felt at home. I felt like I was finally able to find a part in Syracuse I can associate myself with and be myself.

After that, I found myself considering Greek life. My sister attended the same school and is also a part of a Greek family, which kind of set the stage for me after that. I found the oldest Hispanic fraternity founded in America. I got along with the brothers and we’ve made tons of experiences together.

Getting along and looking into what the fraternity does and what they stand for on campus, I saw myself in the family. I expressed my interest and I got “on line” this semester, meaning that I was doing the intake process.

Into the process, I found myself losing the passion to even finish, even after getting so far into it. I had my mission of changing things on campus with the fraternity, but I realized that I can get those things done on my own and I just didn’t believe in finishing the work I began. It wasn’t an easy decision and everyone in Greek life knows the decision I made. My social life in terms of Greeks may be a bit different around them but that’s okay. At the end of the day, I’ll realize who really are my friends.

So, I dropped out of the process mid-way and I’m happy. At this point, regret will not get me anywhere and I must keep going on in life.  I do think back and think about how I could have finished, and the brothers would like me to come back but it all depends on where I am in my college career in the future.

So if you kindly can, I am asking for $400 to set the dues straight.

Love cost me my family, friends and now all I have is my partner and bailiffs knocking on the door!

I met my partner 5 years ago. I fell in love with him in an instant! Since we began speaking 10 years ago.

I knew my parents wouldn’t agree as they believe in arranged marriage. I had no choice but to leave home to be with someone I could see growing old with. My friends did not agree either. They knew about my past exes and bad relationships.

At the time, I did not care.  I just wanted to be with him. Although he was unemployed and had no money, he cared about me. The same way I did for him.

Being 35, I want to now start a family of my own. Emotionally, I can handle it. Physically, I can handle it. Financially, I cannot!

Being with Raymond (my partner) has left me in debt. He has only worked for 4 months in total twice a week. He cannot find work due to his dyslexia. I work 5 days a week as an administrator and I hope to work in a law firm one day. But I cannot afford to pay for the courses, so that’s not looking likely.

 Helping to pay 5 years + worth of electric and water bills, rent arrears, credit cards, bailiff/court fees and even food!

I could easily go back and live with my parents but they won’t offer me any financial help. But what kind of life is that? Going back to live with them. I would just be living a lie. I don’t want to leave my hubby. He’s been with me through all of my ups and downs. I really love him I do.

Sometimes, I cry myself to sleep at night. How did I end up like this?! Why me?! I am lucky to have a roof over my head but the way my bills are soaring, we may not be here longer either as we are getting eviction letters.

All I am asking for is a small donation. Whether it is to help for paying bills, keeping a roof over my head, my studies, whatever. I would never ask but I don’t know who to turn to.

I have no financial support from friends or family. Just payday loans I’ve had to take out to have food in our stomachs.

I remember the days when friends used to come to me for help. To buy clothes, to go out or to eat. I didn’t look the other way. Now the shoe is on the other foot and I can see who my real friends are. No one!! Just me myself & Raymond.

Thank you for taking your time to read this and may God bless you. I believe in karma: What goes around, comes around. I hope that you will empathise and sympathise with my situation. I hope you show me that I’m not wrong about karma too.

Hello my name is millie,

ive just been diagnosed with autism spectrum condition and I am 17. I have been struggling to find funding to help me with school resources and money to pay for a place to live when I go away to university next year. I have spent the last 5 years in and out of school with low attendance because of high levels of anxiety, and autism related difficulties.

My family has just moved in with my elderly grandmother to care for her, and that makes it hard to get the sleep and other things.

I am already repeating a year of school and right now it is becoming harder to keep up. What I am asking is if some people could help me with the money to get a laptop as my current tablet and chrome book are breaking making it nearly impossible to get any work done.

because of my 5 years of school low attendance I am not completely the right subjects to study veterinary medicine at university, I aspire to be a vet because I love animals and want to care for them. For this is would need to pay £600 to do the courses online as there is no funding I can get to help. This is why I would like to ask if anyone could help donate to make £1000 to fund my courses, aswell a new chrome book apwith any of the rest going towards making suitable adaptions to where I will be living at university,

thankyou

Hello  world! Let me tell something about me, i am 22 years old male.

I had a really nice future. i am engaged with my fiance we have plan to have own family. Well i fucked it up.. I started to gamble and play casino games.. All ways wanted to have better life for my fiance. Got addicted to casino games and started to play everything i got…. I asked my self why i am doing this? There was not answer to that. I quited gambling for a while, but started it again and again… and now  i am at this point my life i have to beg.. it’s sad because i never thought about life like this.. We are still engaged, but she don’t know anything about this situation.. Well soon she will, because i cant keep this secret anymore.. She said several years ago if i cant stop gambling our relationship will be over. If i lose her i will be useless human being.. So i gambled a lot and after lost everything i took many loans to keep up the scenery… Well now the scenery will fall… I got too many loans that i cant pay, overall dept is 23000-27000€. To somebody it’s nothing to me it’s everything..

i got something like 7 loans to pay Highest is 7000€ few are something around 2500-3500€..

Gambling times are over now and i go to talk with my supervisor.

Please save my life..

I went to college but never finished. I got my married and pregnant before I finished my degree. I was young and naive, and while I don’t regret my kids one bit, I do regret not finishing school. I also regret never really learning how to manage my finances. My parents never talked about it and as it turns out, are terrible money managers themselves. Tax problems, Bankruptcy, and threatened foreclosures drove them to divorce. While I am nowhere near that level of desperation, I am terrified of following in their footsteps.

In my twenties I opened up a credit card. Then a second. And then a third. I don’t really know where all the money went. A gift for family member here, a tank of gas there. Clothes  and food and supplies to hopefully start up a business as well as some online training for transcription. Which went no where.

I struggle to make ends meet and pay my bills. I have help with food and mortgage but I can’t ask my family for more help, people here are doing all they can already and have their own problems to deal with. I just need a little help. Even $50 would make a difference.

I sell what things I can make-like decals for coffee cups and handmade cards. I even go through my own personal stuff and sell what I can on sites like ebay, craigslist and Facebook Marketplace. But it has gotten harder and harder to make it work. I work from home doing bookkeeping and have thought about getting another job, but by the time I pay childcare bills I would be going to work that second job just to pay a sitter, nanny, or daycare center.

I am embarrassed. Afraid. Anxious. I have trouble sleeping and eating because I know that they day could be coming soon when I just can’t make it.  I feel like I am almost drowning in this worry and fear and I just want it to stop. I want to be able to pay off my debt, even if it means working hard. I want to be able to put money away so that my kids can have good lives, get help going to school or have an emergency fund in case one of my kids gets hurt. Any kind of help you can give me I would be most thankful for. As a token of appreciation, I would be more than happy to send you a card, a decal for your car, you wall, your favorite tumbler or mug. With all my pride put aside, I am asking for help from the universe. Hopefully someone out there will hear me.

Hello, my name is Randy Fletcher. I am 30 years old and am struggling with Depression and Anxiety. I have tried getting a job but it is a nightmare to someone like me. I get incredibly nervous way too easily…..which makes me start shaking and my vision  goes all blurry like in a dream. I am not doing this because I am lazy and just looking to get some free money. I have always been the person to call if someone needed help with moving, help doing something to their yard, ect. I like helping people. I just wasn’t  wired to work in a business. I get nervous having people watch me work…afraid I’m  doing something wrong. And I just feel in a state where I can’t  concentrate on working, I just get panic attack-y. I have even had people ask me if I was on drugs ( which I’ve never done btw) when they were talking to me because I was shaking. I fully understand that certain things are just out of my small comfort zone, but my body and mind doesnt take it very well. On top of this I have something wrong with my body. I haven’t  had money to get an MRI or such,  just visits at a free clinic. I don’t  think they knew much to be perfectly honest but am glad they saw me. The best I have gotten was they think I have an untreated dislocated disk in my neck (which I figured because my neck was my biggest problem; I was in a wreck in middle school and back then I rarely wore my seatbelt. (I know, very stupid.) We also couldn’t  afford the Chiropractic visits.) I have weak joints and also bones, I believe. She said it was probably early arthritis, which really sucks. So i go through daily pains, both mental and physical, just trying  to survive. I am living with my mom atm in the middle of nowhere and am very unhappy. I hate where I am living and I hate my life. But people around me dont know how to deal with my mental diseases. So I usually suffer alone. Although I have Social Anxiety Disorder, I am ok going to places on my own terms and seeing people when I want to. As long as I stay within my comfort zone. I love people and try to see the good in them, I just need to do it on my terms. I like going to the grocery store and people watching while I’m there. I’ve been stuck 15-20 minutes away from people for about 8 months now. My Depression and Anxiety  is usually “under control” when I am happy in life and such. When I wasbstaying with my cousin (at first), I was happy so I had it under control. Things started changing and I couldn’t  find my comfort zone and had to move in with my Mom……which has brung me into a darker depression. All I want is to be able to have somewhere where I can actually get my mental diseases back under control. Where I can find my happiness and have what good of a life I can get. There aren’t people around where I can just do work for in exchange for money, which is why I am doing something I never thought I’d  do and ask for money online. I don’t like asking for money. That’s the way it was growing up for me. I just want enough money a month to be able to enjoy life instead of fearing it. I need monthly help. I don’t want to be rich.  I want enough to be able to get a place for me, have bills paid, food, essentials, and maybe a lil spending money if that is an option. I don’t  know if this is allowed on here or not but the least I can do is give it a shot. I know there are people with more money than they need and if there is a chance to get help, I’ll  take it. Because disability at 30, if I could even get it, feels like a major blow to me mentally. So if anyone can help, I very much thank you!

Hi, My name is Stephanie and I been on a journey to better myself and my family. Its been a hard time coming for me since I  was a little girl. Most of the things I’ve learned have been taught by my adopted mother and myself. I was taken from my mother who was very sick and single at the age of 8 years old. I had other brothers and sisters 6 total, as well but after maybe 2-3 foster homes together, we was slit for the first time. It was very hard on my siblings and I. We use to have visits with our mother and all came together on one day out of a month! Until that stopped! My brothers got moved from one foster home to another one! When my brothers moved in, they put there foster mom on the spot and ask can I come live with them after been at another foster home by myself. She surprisingly said YES! and that’s how I ended up back with just my brothers. My sister was able to get family members to take them in instead of being in foster home settings. My new foster mom took me in and loved me! Although I went though a lot growing up without my Mother I was able to manage. I had a very ruff time in school. I ended up finding out I had a learning disability and that’s why I was having a real ruff time. It made me sad, embarrassed to go to school, But I did it anyways. I took classes that help me learn math, speech, reading, etc. I even asked my adopted mom to help get me a home tutor for reading. I ended up with a tutor that helped me with my speech.  I ended up doing semi well in High School hiding the fact as much as possible I had a learning disability. When my senior year came along,Teaches started talking about collage! I didn’t have a clue what Collage was but was interested anyways. I was new to this life style of choices because I didn’t have any choices coming up! I start going on collage visits and decided to go to Wright State University for criminal justice, to help troubled teens like myself get though life the best way possible. Unfortunately I didn’t do to well my first year. I didn’t have the resources my high school had with my learning disability so I had to fight the  academics part alone! Worst decision I ever made. I was getting failing grades from each class. I ended up having to take all fun and easy classes just to say in collage. I didn’t want to give up but when the next year came, I had the same academic problems so I dropped my classes. Another bad Idea! but I didn’t have a choice I was overwhelmed, I didn’t know who to ask for help! And that’s when the financial aid people called me and told me I owe $539 for the drop classes. Then 6 months later I owe another student loan totaled $10,868. After I left school I was only able to get minimum wage jobs, My first job was at great American cookie, I made 7.25hr with up to  20 hours every two weeks. I used that money to eat with and pay half of the rent. That job wasn’t enough so i went looking for another job. I was able to get a job working for a daycare making 8.50hr and I was getting 40hours a week. I still was living pay check to pay check. I ended up having to move back home with my adopted mom until I was able to get on my feet. (I was very thankful for that). When I got home I worked hard on looking for a job! I landed one working with people with disability and I love it. I make 10hr working with them. Living in Cincinnati Ohio the cost of living for a min wage worker is Poor status. Again I live pay check to pay check. But this time I start paying back my student loans $30 month if I have it. It’s been very hard for me, I feel like I am at a stand still with life and since I couldn’t completed school I cant land a decent paying jobs to get out of debt. I dream to be debt free… I dream to own a house…I dream to own a Business that help troubled teens get on there feet and learn about debt and collage and life while growing up! I wont wish my life on anyone. I just want to be debt free and help bless others like me! Anything will help me and my goal. I am a very very thankful person. I pray that I can find help so I can make a difference in people with disability like myself. I will never give up, This is very important to me. I just need your help! or advice!         -Signed a Child of God

My name is Zama Dlamini and my 5 year old son is not able to attend school because I cannot afford to pay the fees. His father was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and since 2012 the effects on the disease have seen him lose his job and only way to source income to help us a family. His vision has been affected so badly that he is unable to drive anymore and he used to work as s chauffeur. Since last year we have been unable to pay school fees and struggled a lot with rent. He got a job but they put him on training for 5 months without a contract and the company made numerous promises to pay him during the training. Since that time he has been unable to get a job despite all his efforts. We applied for a loan when he got this job to clear our debts and assumed we would manage to pay back since he had found a new job. But now we are swimming in debt and are unable to take care of our son. He is a highly intelligent child who just needs a good foundation for education to create a better future for himself. I am in a desperate situation and hope someone can help this family. We both come from families who have been dependant on us to help financially therefore none of them is in a stable position to assist us.For my partner to go back to a full time job he needs the cataracts surgery which costs R20000 an eye and we cannot afford this amouny and are not able to afford medical aid. My request is for an education for my son and restored vision for my partner so we can work together and put our life back in order.

Please help us to get out of this deepwater we are in. Help us to float to financial freedom and a life without stress and depression.

We are in South Africa and hope someone can help us.

First of all, I don’t like asking for help. I have tried to find something online that would help me make enough money to fix the house and basement. It is an old house, built in 1926, so it really needs a lot of fixing. My husband is disabled, with multiple health conditions. Some of which are going to put him in a wheelchair. His mother and sister are already in wheelchairs, so we are needing to make the whole house wheelchair accessible, both outside and inside. The doorways in the house are too narrow for a wheel chair. My husband loves flowers, so we are hoping to make one room into a sun room for houseplants for him. He lost his father to lightning in a storm, and he has a terrible fear of storms now. This is why we are needing the basement fixed so he will have a place to feel safe. He is under 4 doctors care at the moment, and another will be added when he starts seeing a sleep apnea doctor. We already have an overwhelming amount of doctor bills, he is on 19 different types of medicine at the moment. Four of which was just added after 4/15/17, when he had a heart attack. He is having to make a lot of changes in his life now, including eating heart healthy foods which are very expensive. If anyone can help at all, we would be ever so grateful. I know money is tight and they are probably others that need it more than us. But if you have plenty and are able to help us, then I thank you from my heart and my husband thanks you too!!! May God bless everyone and keep everyone safe. Donations can be sent to PayPal. Thanks everyone!!!
Also, if you would like to see pictures of how bad our house looks, send me a request to my email address above. I will gladly send some pictures of our house so you can see for yourself. Also, the whole house now has to be re-wired because of how old the wiring is in it. My husband is unable to do the work himself, so we will be having to hire professionals to do the remodeling. Stay hopeful and never give up hope. Thanks again!!!

My name is Danny. I am an 8 year Vietnam era Air Force veteran. I will be 64 years old in 2 weeks. I am married and have a wonderful family. I DESPERATLY need financial assistance!! I really hesitated to try this but don’t know what else to do. I have had 2 heart attacks, have congestive heart failure, I take 100 units of insulin a day for diabetes, I have engina, sleep apnea, COPD, chronic fatgue. I push myself hard everyday to survive and am at a point where I just can’t do it anymore and I don’t know where else to turn. I am not able to retire because my wife and I just have too much debt. She has been not able to work these last 6 months because she has been tending to her mother and father out of state because her father has been hospitalized the last six months and they need her there. She flys out every 2 weeks and comes home for 2 weeks, but this has been an added strain to our already financial burden. I am self employed but just can’t seem to find the strength or energy to keep going! I badly need to retire and my Dr’s recommend  I do the same.But I can’t! I have been struggling to work and keep the cash flow coming in to absolve our debts, but just CAN’T go anymore!!!!!

I wake up in the morning feeling like I haven’t had any rest at all. Some days I feel too tired to spend the energy to eat.

I have worked hard all my life and served my country in S.E. Asia during Vietnam. Many of the health issues I have my Dr’s feel I could fix in time if I could retire and take the time to do so. As it is right now I am unable to focus and or have the strength or energy to deal with my health issues because I just don’t have the time to do so because I am trying to keep working to keep our head above water with our debts. We had our home paid off, but recently had to partially refinance it to pay debts and absorb plane fare etc for my wife to travel to help her parents.

I have always givin to others, my friends, family and church and never expected anything in return. Truth be known, if I was able to collect on all the monies I’ve givin I could probably retire easily. But I’d never ask. When I had it I gave it.

I am very faithful to my church and have a strong love for the Lord. As hard as it is I am faithful to tithe. Am thinking maybe it was the Lord who directed me to this web site I don’t know, but have  but have been pondering this idea of asking for help here for days and then finally decided to give this a shot. Think maybe God’s been pushing me to go here. Can’t expect a miracle if you don’t do your part right!?

I am hoping someone will read this and please help! I am really desperate and am so very, very tired.Don’t know what else to do. Please let me know if there is anything else you would like to know.

Thank you in advance

Danny

Hello.

My name is Lukas and I am here to tell u about what exactly happen and why I am asking for help.

When I was 15, I started to study on Secondary Technical Building school near my home. I was typical kid which didn’t had clue about what I want, what to do in future etc. So right after I ended elementary school I decided to try this one. Well it was one of worse decisions I ever made but that’s not important. So I went on new school. Everything was fine at first. I met new people and tried to spend as much as possible time with them to just don’t have to go back home. My father is alcoholic so I just didn’t want to spend time home. I was scared kid and he liked to yell at me and throw with things around when he was in his drunken mood.

My older brother was always the smart one from us. So he went on collage. My parents kinda supported him financially to start his life. His collage was in different country so he wasn’t at home much. My mother was really working hard. She spend whole days at work getting just minimum wage, trying to support my brother and make our life kinda more able to work. Father used all his money just to buy alcohol and frequently broke things at home which we had to repair or buy new once.

After two years, she decided to divorce with him. After all these things we had to move to another house, much smaller one. Father is still living in the old one and keep making problems to us so moving didn’t helped much.

Few weeks before my 17. birthday I just became ill. I had serious problems with my stomach and my head did hurt like never before. After some visits at doctor, I was told that I suffer from Anemia and my whole immune system is just weak. I started to take many pills and vitamins but I was ill really often. It wasn’t easy because it was just me and my mother and sometimes dad making noise on the street just to tell us that he don’t need us anymore. I found job to make some money and help my mom with home. So my days went like getting up at 5:00, going to school, after school I went to my job where I came from at about 23:00 pm because it was at town and we live on village so travelling took time as well. Because of lack of time I had problems in school. I had to make many projects at home but I couldn’t cuz I only had 6 hours at home and it was in the night. Sometimes I stood up till 3 Am just to make these but 2 hours of sleep wasn’t enough and whole next day was just suffering, especially in work where I was still on my foots and had to lift heavy stuff.

Being frequently ill while working and studying was something indescribable hard. After few months of doing so I felt to depression. I never was emotionally unstable person, but I just felt to deep sadness without any real reason. I wasn’t enjoying things I did before and the worst of this was that I had problems with sleep. I remember one whole month of being ill, it was flu, I had temperature, I was vomiting it was just disgusting. I woke up at 5 am. Came home at 23 pm. I was totally drained. My vision was kinda steamy, but I just couldn’t fell asleep for hours. I was sleeping 2-3 hours a day and even at those 3 hours I woke up like 5 times for no reason.

When it became critical, doctor prescribed me pills on sleep. I used to take these to have at least 5 hours of sleep but again another problem. Those pills just made me besotted for whole next day so it didn’t help a thing.

Last year I met a girl. She pulled me out from all these things. Well metaphorically. She lives far away from me but just being in contact with her on skype made my days so much brighter. So I just wanted to spend some time with her but travelling wasn’t cheap and I had to buy food for me and even my mother while she was paying for our new house.

I am in my last year on my school and really wanted to go on collage. Brother started his own life far away from family and I was told that family ( mom ) just can’t help me with school financially. She is in dept. I will turn 19 in few days so I am adult. I really want to study and make my own home, with my girlfriend. I really want to start something myself but there is many important things that just keep me from doing so. After 4 years at my school, when I had to work everyday and had no time for homeworks and technical projects. I have real problems now at ending exams. I can’t fully concentrate at these cuz I still need to work everyday. I love my mom, I really do, I want to help her make her life much better that it is for past few years. I know that without money I spend to our home, she just couldn’t make it with her depts. My girlfriend as well, is from really bad family. With almost same issue. She is 22, lives with mother and working everyday just to help her with her depts. Somehow I will end my school, but I can’t really go to study at collage. I can’t really make my own future anytime soon cuz every coin I make, I just spend back to our home, food, clothes, repairs. It’s still something and even while I never really go out with friends, I still have no money for myself. And as last, I can’t really move away to make new life cuz my mother needs me. I just feel stuck here and don’t know that to do anymore. I don’t want to bail away like my brother did. I really just want to have family. Just want to have home where I can go everyday after work. Where I will live with my girlfriend. Where I could have raised kids in the future. With knowledge that my mother is doing just fine. I really want to make her happy. I decided to stay home and help her with dept…I don’t know exactly how many months or years it will take. And I want to change something. To make her life better. To not leave her working every single day for almost whole day. She don’t have any life other that work. I also have to help my girlfriend because she needs me too. It’s just too much. That’s why I came here. I would like to ask for any help possible. Even small amount of money would help… Thanks for reading my story…
