I live in Asheville NC and the hurricane destroyed everything around me, my home, my car and generally everything in sight. I have four dogs, my husband and me living in our home.
We really need help recovering from the hurricane. Fema did nothing. I applied on Oct 2 I turned in all paperwork and called many many times. Still nothing to help us.no explanation of why they have t contacted us in any way either. They strongly suggested I apply for a small business loan.
, I went blind a couple of years ago and had to have cataract surgery and since that time I havent been able to work. My husband is disabled and waiting on disability to approve him. I have always worked, we have always worked, so not having a steady stream of income has been hard enough without the hurricane to destroy us even further. I have been teaching myself precious metal recovery and have slowly collected knowledge and supplies to start a recovery and refining business along with building my greenhouse to grow plants to supplement our income. Once we
had made it to the point of start up business Helene decided she wanted my supplies more than me so she swept them away. Literally.
Please help me to help myself. There are a lot of things I need the money for but most of all to better myself and give us a
chance to build a business that is solid and will continue to
thrive here in our home and environment
Thank you for taking the time to read my request and thank you if you decide to donate to me ..

Hello, my name is Thomas, I am 61 years old. The Factory that I worked at for 21 years recently closed. I can draw unemployment for awhile if I have to, but hope to find something else (which will not be easy for my age and health). I can’t cover some of my bills for a while, so I am asking for help with rent, groceries, electric and gas. I have a 1999 Ford ranger paid for, I am a Veteran so I have health insurance. I made the mistake of never paying into a 401k (I hope others learn from this mistake). I am hoping for enough to keep me on my feet for a while, Just till I can……….find something else or learn something else. I am reluctant to ask this and anyone and everyone will always have my sincere gratitude. Thank You. PayPal link: Thomas Smith @thomassmith1667

In today’s challenging economic climate, many families face the burden of debt and the limitations of poor credit. My partner and I, both being at the age to start thinking of comfort stability and we find ourselves at a crossroads where financial assistance becomes essential for our future. We are seeking a grant or crowdfunding support of $25,000 to help us escape the cycle of bad credit and create a brighter tomorrow.

Currently, we are living in a neighborhood that lacks the resources and safety necessary for a healthy lifestyle. Financial instability has kept us from moving to a better environment, which not only affects our well-being but also limits our opportunities for growth. With this funding, we would be able to secure a safer and more supportive home—a place where we can thrive rather than just survive.

This financial assistance would allow us to pay down existing debts, significantly improving our credit scores. Better credit would open doors to more favorable loan terms, housing opportunities, and possibly even lower insurance premiums. By eliminating the stress of looming debts, we would have the mental space to focus on career advancement and personal development. Investing in ourselves becomes possible when financial burdens are lifted.

Our vision for the future is one where we can take pride in our home and community. We aspire to engage more actively in local initiatives, support our neighbors, and contribute positively to society. By breaking free from the chains of poor credit, we can foster a stable environment for ourselves, potentially paving the way for future generations to succeed without the same financial fears.

In conclusion, the opportunity to start fresh with $25,000 would not just alleviate our current stresses; it would lay the groundwork for a new life filled with hope and possibility. We are committed to making the most of this opportunity, not just for ourselves, but for those around us as well. Thank you for considering our request for support.

I hope someone reads this, that can relate to my situation and could help me out.

I need a Civil Lawyer in the worst way. I’m not able to pay the Average $5000 retainer that almost all of them want (for a decent attorney with experience) up front.

I have tried to get a pro Bono one, which is almost impossible in my state. If I lived a couple hundred miles north, it would a possibility but as I have research for weeks now…its really a not gonna happen here!

I’ve checked the low income lawyer assistance sites, the bar association, and every probono page I could find. They were all willing to assist in filing paperwork, and how to fill it all out. Not go to court on your behalf with you, so you would have a fighting chance against people that have pretty good attorneys.

I have a great case against them too. There’s NO WAY they could beat me on this. I’ll give you the short version…

 

I moved onto a family friends property in my motor home, as I needed a serious surgery for a full pelvic collapse. Then covid hit and they stopped all “elective” surgeries until further notice. Still don’t see how it was considered elective?!?! Anyhow, it had been canceled and now the whole country was in lock down.

We had agreed that instead of paying rent, that I would HELP out on the property. They had 2 pregnant mares, a stray cat and acreage that had NOT been cared for in years, as well as a toddler. They both worked full time, and asked (before covid hit) if I would HELP with the2 horses, and Help out with yard stuff, and watch the little one when something would come up, or he would be sick and couldn’t go to daycare. Seemed agreeable to me.  Oh yeah, as well as I would pay rent when I had my surgery and wouldn’t be able HELP do the physical things for a while. The first mistake I made…not getting anything in writing! Not sure if you seen the HELP them or not. That would mean they would be involved in some way. They were at first, but it gradually just stopped all together, and I was taking care of ALL 6 horses (the mares had their babies and they purchased 2 more), the now I think it was 10 chickens as well as 5 turkeys, their toddler full time as well as the property and having to keep up their house(for people that are beyond lazy as to picking up after themselves). Not to mention ALL the little projects the wife said needed done.

Mind that I was now having to work more hours than a full time job, and not being paid, just parking my motorhome on the property with an extension cord for power. No water and I paid every other month for my septic to be dumped. Sorry to have to tell you this, but back 5 years ago, the cost of an RV space with full hook up was only $350 a month plus electric at the coast. The hours and expected duties I was being asked to do so passed what I would have paid for rent ANYWHERE. I mean at minimum wage(then) of even $10hr at 40 hrs a week(5days a week( is $400 a week, right? What if your days went from let’s say 7:30 and ended anywhere from 5:30 to 8pm, with the usual NO call or notice of the common LATE evenings. And Heaven forbid you text and ask if they had a time frame on when they would be home, as they wouldn’t answer the majority of the time anyway.

So needless to say…my average work week was over 60 hours a week. Then there were the weekends when she would be home (he worked every other weekend at first) and expect me to still take care of ALL her animals and property. When I tried to say something about it to her, she would make a comment like ” maybe we’re not a good fit anymore”, and how the typical stall cleaners worked 7 days a week. When I told her that was a lie(as I previously worked at a 60+ stall facility) and only occasionally  did they even work 6 days a week, and only to cover someone else when they were sick. Besides which, I wasn’t a stall cleaner. I had become a full time child care, house keeper, cook, landscaper, animal care taker, maintenance worker, etc. They were getting a lot more out of the arrangement than if I had just paid them rent. I got off track, sorry. Okay, at just 40hs=$400 a week, which is $1600 a month. Not counting the average let’s say15-25 hours extra each week about 8 months of the yr, and 10hrs a week extra the rest of the time. Oh yeah, did I mention that I was there to HELP them with these things!

All this would be hard for the average healthy person. Now, how do you think a person with multiple auto immune diseases, diabetes, and MS, as well as there because needed surgery, but covid still had all non life threatening surgeries put on hold, doing all this? Well that’s me, and when I had to leave the property recently for a devided 3 weeks to help my parents, all hell broke loose. I came back to a “you need to move,Now!”. What the H*llc?

After all these 5 yrs being here in my RV, she decided they aren’t set up for an RV. Why??? Because according to her.. ” you could have said No!” Excuse me, my mom is a double transplant recipient with numerous other health issues, and my dad is on dialysis.  Both of which were extremely sick and in and out of hospital. But she had become accustomed to having a SLAVE around to bid her calling.  She was pussed because I was helping someone else.

But my body has been through hell out here doing all this stuff for them, and already told them I couldn’t do everything anymore, so she was already irritated at that. But they were happy enough with my work, to ask if I wanted to move up to their other property that her mom gave them and help get it ready for a barn, home etc. To be put on it(10acres). I said I wasn’t sure about wether my body could take it or not, and left it at that. Now she is saying. That I’ve been here for 5 yrs and never even paid rent, that the agreement was to be for a fee months. EXCUSE ME???

What about all the work,the supplies never reimbursed for, even though promised I would get back? As well as all the projects done, like chicken coup, stall pasture making and leveling, cleaning hay barn, so it could hold hay, cleaning out barn as it was so covered in webs(it took 2 days with2 people to get it dome),getting a water line to barn(they ran into spicket attached to wall) they broke in about 2 weeks, burning piles and piles of rotten trees, brush, etc. That I cleaned up, and that doesn’t even include all the work done in the back yard.

What about the almost full yr of child care that you gave me $50 for, after telling me they paid $950 a month before me. And the cheapest quote gotten to put the water line in was I believe just under $12000. The moss taken off their roof, which they only Paid $100, and I did too because they were gone( going rate…over $2000), as well as the New John Deer Riding mower I was able to get them with a warranty for under $500(look them up), oh yeah, a $3500 metal carport (20′ × 30′) for  $250, and another one(10×12) for $100, and the list goes on. All that was supposed to be covering my staying. But she just keeps saying I have been there 5 yrs and never paid rent!.

When I told her we could add up all the hours I have worked, projects done and money not reimbursed,and when I leave she would still owe me a boat load of money.

All I get from her is ” you were only supposed to stay a few months”, and when I asked her about her wanting me to stay, everything done and her wanting to go to the property, she doesn’t respond or threatens to have my motor home and car towed off.

All the while, she still won’t tell me why, all of the sudden she wants me gone.

I’m on a limited income, I can’t pay all at once what it will take to get the motorhome road ready(after sitting 5 yrs),  filling the gas tank alone is over $200, then having to license it  again is almost $300, and my flatbed she borrowed to haul hay then parked at her parents instead of here suddenly has no wiring, when it did have, and all worked when she used it, so that’s going to take a few hundred dollars, since they said they don’t know what happened to it and it’s not their concern. Really???

With these friends, I’d rather deal with enemies. Anyway I gotta get out of here. I don’t want to stay where I an not wanted. It’s gonna take both time and money. I hate to have to do it, but I want to get back the money I spent on supplies etc. I am still going thru my receipts, but the first yr alone is around $900.  The way she keeps saying I never paid rent, I think they should have to pay me for ALL the hours I work, as well as the special(oversided) project I did, that saved them Thousands of dollars each. Then I can hand her the rent she wants and still have plenty of money to do everything needed and get off the property.

It’s time for me to finally take care of me. Oh yeah, I did have my surgery. Though now it needs redone, only now…they say I am gonna have to have a colostomy bag. The Dr isn’t sure if it would be temporary or permanent until he sees the damage that has happened fromm all the work, etc. Where I live.

So if you have ever been taken advantage of, to even a little bit of this extent, then you know what I am feeling and would/could donate to help me out.

I can add some before and after photos if requested.

 

 

the sad part about all this…i’ve known her husband for right around 30yrs., and still didnt know him like i thought i had.

Hello, my name is Wes, My wife and I have five children together we’ve just moved in to the home we physically built as a family. Due to some serious delays and financial hits along the way we stand to loose the home we work so hard on. My wife and teenager daughter both picked up extra work in order to keep food on the table and the bills at bay. At this point we are out of options, credit cards are maxed out, utilities aresult delinquent. We could really use some breathing room. We’ve expunged our resources. All we need is to start the next chapter of our lives on a good note! Our family has been to he’ll and back over the last 3 years. We lived in a small trailer on 2 separate occasions, the first time we couldn’t find a rental for a family our size, then kicked out of our rental  because he sold it, no warning. When we did finally find a place, it caught fire 3 weeks after we moved in. Which happened to be the day after Thanksgiving, no one was hurt, thats what matters, and thankfully we have good people in our lives that helped us. With all the unforseen delays in the build, extension fees, rent, I.O. Mortgage payments, utility bills and escalated food costs we’ve been scraping the bottom for some time now. My wife and I have been doing our best to keep moral up, putting on a smile so the kids don’t worry as much, they see through it but return the favor. They deserve a break, a chance to be kids , and time to enjoy what they worked so hard for!Thank you very much. https://cash.app/$wesmlk

For the past year. I have been in a financial crisis with trying to purchase a new car.  Every time I bring my car to the shop they fix the one problem then a few weeks later. Something else breaks. No matter how hard I try to save my money. I can’t  keep up.  all the money that I am trying to save keeps going to an All the money that I am trying to save keeps going to a car that is constantly breaking down. Everyone tells me just take a loan out  it’s easier said then done. About six months ago I was out of work for three months due to the patient. I was caring for that passed away due to the age and having surgery. And with the work that I do it’s hard to keep a steady job because of the elderly you never know what’s going to happen. I need a vehicle to get me to my job. I work in home care working with elderly in there homes. They rely on me to be there to help them with their everyday needs cooking, cleaning, taking them to doctor appointments.and going grocery shopping.  Everyone always has a dream with the perfect vacation or a beautiful brand new home. and all I want is a brand new car. just to go to work to see the patient’s eyes light up with happiness when they see me walk through the door.

thank you to everyone that is willing to help out. I am forever grateful.

         I wanted to share a significant milestone in my life with you all. As I approach retirement, I’m filled with excitement and a bit of nervousness about this new chapter. To help make this transition as smooth as possible, I’m aiming to reach a retirement fund goal of $500,000. Your support, whether big or small, can make a tremendous difference. Your kindness and generosity will help me embrace this new phase with confidence and joy. I deeply appreciate any contribution you can make.

Thank you for being part of this incredible journey with me!

Warmest regards.

My son is the Pastor of a faith-based recovery and restoration, IRS approved non-profit ministry, to help ex addicts with a 9-month program to help them have a better life after they graduate and be a productive member of normal societal living. The ministry, which started in January 2021, also accepts homeless individuals or any individual experiencing some life crisis situation.

My wife and I helped with the initial finances needed to purchase the first property. That is now our women’s home. We added another home for men in July 2022. My wife passed away in October 2021. I continued to help the ministry with expenses when donations were very limited. This came from utilizing all the profit I made from selling my house. I continued to help over time by using my credit cards, which have now accumulated over $65,000 in debt. The ministry has paid back some of the original debt and has made payments to me when finances were available, but that has been sporadic.

I was forced to retire from the company I worked for after 30 years (their long term policy.) I am 66 years old and now I just have my social security income to live on. I volunteer as the business administrator for the ministry ever since we opened. The ministry simply can’t afford to pay me a wage. But that doesn’t make sense anyway when they owe me for all the income I have put into the ministry and the expenses I have paid through my own income and credit card debt since the ministry opened. I do not regret any expense I have helped to pay and really I don’t care whether or not all I have spent is paid back. I just would like to see my credit card debt eliminated. The rest doesn’t matter to me.

My total minimum payments on credit card debt now exceed my social security income by several hundred dollars. I don’t know how to get out of debt at this rate. My credit score and rating (that was once very high) is now shattered, so I can’t get any loans to consolidate my debt. I just feel at a loss how to reduce the debt. I can’t even afford bankruptcy. Every social security payment gets ate away trying to pay the credit cards. The majority of charges on my credit cards were for the ministry. And a little spent on my own personal expenses just trying to survive.

The ministry can house 22 women and 32 men. The ongoing expenses of the ministry make it very difficult at times to meet all the ministry expenses, so paying me back just cannot be the highest priority. But I don’t need a lot to live on anyway. I live in a tiny home on the property and  I am quite happy and content in this kind of setting the rest of my life. But I do not want to pass from this life with all this debt and add another burden to my son or the ministry.

Anything you are able to help me with to reduce and eventually eliminate the $65,000 debt would be greatly appreciated. This is very stressful and tearing me apart inside. I have always lived very responsible and always paid any debt in a timely manner and had very good credit. It seems that will never be the case again. Helping me with any amount is also helping the ministry and all those we are able to help that benefit from our program… past, current, and future residents in the program. We have had many success stories.

Thank you in advance and no matter what you can do, please know I will be extremely grateful and will also keep you in my prayers.

I am 75 yo a terminally ill Vietnam Era Veteran.  I have worked most of my life.  At 13 I mowed lawns for different businesses.  At 16 I worked after school in a factory.  At 19 I enlisted in the USAF and served 4 yrs.  I worked my way from the bottom to the manager of different retail stores.  I lost my son to a bicycle accident, after my initial mourning, I turned to helping troubled youths, in his memory.  I assisted around 20 youths, however only 6 actually accepted the help and went on to a profitable career.  At 43 yrs old I became terminally ill, however I did continue to work different off jobs even through today.  Now at 75 yo I’m not able to do very much work, but I still try.  I have never used any social services or government ran services in my life.  I humbly come to you asking for any assistance you can help me with.  My debts are all current, at approximately $43,000 owed.  But there is very little left for any basic things or pleasure able things I would love to do during my last few years, all depending on when the inevitable time does occur.  Thanking you in advance for any assistance you can do.  God bless
