Financial Hardship Help

Last Updated:

I..i honestly dont know where to begin.

Just like the title states…  I suppose with an introduction?

You can call me Ricky, I’m a to be 27 years old man without a job, medicated with antipsychotics for chronic PTSD and heavy anxiety, on top of precondition conditions, namely ADHD, Asbergers, GAD & OCD (Somatic, Physical & Pure O).

Due to my horrid mental state, I have been deemed incapable of work for a  long time and as such, I live on minimal welfare, and lately, with all the trouble surrounding welfare in Sweden, it’s been a battle just staying afloat.

With my, PTSD diagnosed only roughly 2 and a half years ago’ im still struggling to cope with it on an everyday basis, dreadful anxiety and daily panic attacks, well, not so many panic attacks any more thanks to the anti-psychotics, plenty of side-effects tho, as with most medicine…

What caused my PTSD?.. I truly don’t like talking about it, but, i suppose i should, considering im already baring most of my inner thoughts here.

In short, prior to 2019 03 16, I was in a happy relationship with my life partner at the time. Sure, we didn’t have a perfect life, but then really, who does?. We both had our mental issues, mine stated above, and her demons… well, she didn’t have any diagnoses on paper, but that’s mainly due to her never bothering to get herself diagnosed, she saw it as a waste of time, she already knew her flaws, her words. But in short, she had a compulsive dependency on receiving approval from others or her self-esteem would plummet to a point where her EGO was null, this went as far as sleeping with strangers in order for them to like her, and yes, I still stayed with her, ain’t easy dealing with mental disorders, I should know… Sadly, the ones she wanted the approval of, her parents, rarely gave it to her, and as such, it kept growing. From anxiety to depression, whispers to screaming, until one day, she couldn’t take it anymore and hanged herself in the room next to where I was sitting, obvious to what was happening in one room over, only to find out half an hour later (she was studying, or so I thought and wanted to be left alone rough day..)… Despite others telling me not to, I still feel like it’s my fault that she died, that I should’ve been there, that I should’ve noticed it…

My two closes friends, one of them being my first childhood friend passed away the next year, one to heart failure and another to suicide as well, i broke thrice in two years, and im still picking up the pieces.

… But I digress… onto my economical situation’s why’s… My failed ass did not even graduate from high school due to chronic anxiety that let me wound up at a psych ward 3 times in 2 years as well as the conditions mentioned above, except for my PTSD, which arrived later in life…

So despite a horrid mental and economical situation, I am unable to stabilize my economy by finding work (no one will hire an uneducated mess), proper economical aid (With the Wellfare in Sweden being with it is right now) nor help from my family, as they not faring well either’ due to other circumstances.

Forget new clothing, utilities, or anything that’s not a necessity for living, improving my mental health through those means is just an impossibility right now, heck, after paying my bills’ & medicine’ my food budget takes up more than a third of what’s left of my monthly welfare aid…

Truthfully, I don’t really believe that this is going to lead somewhere… and with me being raised the way I am’ i truly hate personally asking for help (not others asking for help, just ME asking for help) as it leaves me feeling..crippled..well, more crippled then what I actually am.

So why did I post this here?.. I don’t know, to vent about my crappy situation, my annoyingly sad life story, find some reconciliation in the thought that someone out there might feel bad for me? I really don’t know…

 

Well… I suppose that’s everything, im really not sure what else to say… Any economical help of any kind would be dearly appreciated, even a single bill would help towards putting food on the table and keeping my apartment warm.

In short, you would help me help myself attempt to get my life back in order…

Oh and.. thank you for reaching this far in my post, at least that means one more person is aware of my existence in this grey world.

Family of four needs help from crushing debt

Hi there we are a family of four, myself and my partner have been together ten years and have the blessing of raising our two boys ages 12 and 9. Like a lot of families around the world the pandemic has brought our family a lot of struggles. My partner lost his job during the pandemic and struggled for months to find one to be let go a few months later. He has now secured a new job starting next week but due to months of being out of work our savings were depleted and we took on personal and title loans that are now accruing interest daily. We are behind on several bills and lost our main car because we couldn’t keep up with its payments. The car we do own has a title loan and needs new tires and shocks making it a very unreliable vehicle for my partner to commute long distances to work in. We need to raise enough funds to buy a used car and fix the small issues on our current vehicle so I can get our boys to and from school and doctors appointments. Our oldest son is autistic and has severe anxiety which requires a lot of psychology and doctor appointments so it’s absolutely necessary I have a vehicle as well. We hope to raise $10,000-$15,000 so we can pay off our title loan of $3,700, get new tires and shocks, and buy a used car for my partner to commute to work in. That would allow us to not have any car payments and catch up on our other $65,000 worth of student loans and RV loan where we live.

We are truly a happy family with very little and don’t want for much but to be able to relax and enjoy our kids while they’re young and stop stressing at how we will make ends meet! We’re truly grateful in advance for any help we receive and we will gladly pay it forward!!

Help my family

My name is Tassos and I’m from Greece. I have a beautiful family which is in need and I desperately need help for them. My son is the most beautiful 18 months old boy you can imagine. My wife is one of the nicest person you could possibly meet. About 1 year ago all problems started. I got fired from my job and my wife had to suffer a huge cut on her salary. We always try to see the bright side of things so we said “ok, we are gonna make it”. And we tried, we cut off all the unnecessary expenses, we moved to a smaller apartment ( in order to lower our rent ) and started over our life under these new conditions. We also sold the car cause my new job is close to our home and I can walk there. And then the most unexpected thing happened. My father in law died leaving my wife a 30000€ debt. He had a grocery store under my wife’s name and he kept taking loans on her behalf ( he was given legal authorization for bank transactions due to the grocery store ). He lost all the money he took on gambling and left us with the debt and the bankrupted store. We asked if we could forfeit from the debt, but every transaction is on my wife’s tax number, so it is not possible. We are able to cover about the 1/3 of it, but we need everyone’s help for it’s full payment. If we can’t fulfill the payment my wife is going to jail for nine months because we don’t have any assets to foreclose. The good news is that we made an arrangement with the bank to pay by installments so we can stall the process. But we can’t afford to pay every month and that is why we need your help.

I’m begging everyone that can help, to help us.

Thank you

Looking to become healthier by getting rid of some debt.

Hello to anybody that bothers to read this.
My name is Jo and I have been going through a bit of a rough patch in my life. The rough patch is *surprise* mental illness! And due to the mental illness, my credit cards have ended up racked up and with me living paycheck to paycheck and interest building, I am feeling incredibly anxious about how I am going to manage to pay them off. The most I am able to put down is the minimum payment every 2 weeks and it just ends up higher due to interest, which results in my cards being hundreds of dollars over my limit.
I am going to be honest, I don’t know the source of the depression I have been having. I have not been motivated in life at all and it’s so difficult for me to get anything done or be responsible in my adult life. I cleaned my house yesterday for the first time in a long time and I think it was the first step to being healthy. If I could pay off my credit cards it would be incredibly helpful in continuing my journey of living life as I should. I have never asked for help like this before, and I am too ashamed to talk to the people in my life. I really hope there is some understanding out there.
If you did make it this far, thank you for just reading and have a great day!

For anybody that would like to help,

Death in family, had to quit job to take care of my Grandma, need help for food and home repaires.

Hello! :) I am not sure how much of my life you are interested in knowing, but as I am desperate for some help I will probably put too much! Ill start with the reason that I am in need of money, which is my uncle just died from covid. He, my Grandmother and I all live together in our small house, and for the most part its just the 3 of us, we do have other family members, but they (my mother and stepfather) were very physically and mentally abusive to me as a child and i have a hard time being around them. (this has also caused me to be very shy and nonconfrontational) So after he died i had to quit my job, for a few reasons. First it was too far away, and my Grandma cant do a lot by herself, especially with winter approaching, and i wouldn’t be able to get to her very fast if something happened. (its almost an hour away) secondly earlier this year in January i had a very bad car wreck, i rolled my car and slid on its side through some trees, i wasn’t hurt very bad luckily, but i did have a mild concussion! It wasn’t until pretty recently that i started driving some again and because of my fear from the wreck, my uncle was going to drive me in the winter time. So we are in a bit of a pickle, as we don’t have very much money in our budget for food. I tried getting some help, but unfortunately because of the car i was able to get a loan for, it counts as having to much money. On top of that even with me working, we were barely able to do any home repairs, ill go over each of the things that we need! First is our outside of the home, a lot of the wood around the windows and doors, is rotting away, and a spot under the edge of the roof has a large hole in it. We have a carport, but it is starting to rot and cave in. Then in the house we need a few new faucets as they don’t work properly, and one dosen’t even have cold water anymore, and another hasn’t been finished yet and is just a bowl on a stand. Our floor in the kitchen is bad, coming up in places and dipped in others. I’m trying really hard to fix these things myself, but as a 28 year old woman, i don’t really know what i’m doing. I really appreciate any help you are able to do, and i thank you for taking the time to read my story!

Family of 5/Struggling

I want to start out by introducing myself and my family. My name is Jennifer Smith I am 33 and I currently work from home for an insurance company called Cigna. My husband who is 35 works for a company called EZ pawn. We have three beautiful children 12,11,9. We currently live in a town called Post TX. At this moment we are renting a home due to horrible credit and can’t seem to get a tight grip on our finances. I have been working on our credit the past year and brought it up to the fair stage however with Covid and the shutdowns, it has made it so difficult to continue how we are living. We watch financial shows and youtube videos of Dave Ramsey just trying to figure out a budget plan but with children it is very difficult because when you turn around they do need something else as far as sports etc. Before moving where we are now we moved a total of at least 10 times, and I really am not exaggerating. Its been very difficult. When my husband was young he was diagnosed with a disease called perthes which he was suppose to have a hip replacement at age 18 but was not able to. My husband tried to do hard labor but physically can’t. Which is why he is where he’s at now. At night he can’t sleep but still manages to go to work every day. I couldn’t be more proud of him. In all honesty I would even prefer an investment of some sort so that you can receive your money in return. My husband would like to open his own flea market/ pawn shop in our little town here. He drives a good 45 min to work every morning. Life has thrown us curveball after curveball and we just want to enjoy it. Enjoy what God has put us on this earth to do. I would love to join in the community help others however if I can’t help myself and my family how can I help someone else. I would also like to reiterate that I am not asking for alot of money I am just asking for something to help get us to the top. Get us to where we can enjoy our life that we have left here on earth. 20,000 would put us out of debt and give my husband a shop here as well as a down payment on a new home that is safe for my children and I. We literally live in a house where the bathroom toilet could fall through the floor at any time. It is hard and I cry so much because I want better for my children, a better environment for them but somewhere along the way we messed up and cannot seem to get on that right path to be happy again. With all of my heart and soul I beg of you to please help my Family and I to enjoy life.

Credit debt

Hello! My name is Krystal and I am a 28yro wife and mother to 2 small boys. I want to start by saying that I do not like that I am coming to strangers and asking for help but I do not know what else to do.

It all started when COVID hit. I was working as a full time Certified Medical Assistant and absolutely loved working with patients! When COVID started, I continued to work but it started to take a toll on me mentally and physically. I also didn’t want to bring COVID home to my family so I made the decision to stay home until it became more safe to work. My husband continued and continues to work full time and we are both very stressed out.

Financially we were doing amazing and I was fortunate enough to stay at home for awhile but then I lost two grandfather’s earlier this year due to COVID and cancer. They bother passed away within a couple months of each other and it has been very difficult for me. We had to start relying more on our credit card and have maxed it out. I would be so truly grateful to anyone who can help us out.

We have used our card for bills, gas for our cars, gas to drive out to TX for my grandpa’s funeral, hotels, food, etc. If we can pay our credit card off, this will help tremendously to try to get us back on track.

I am currently applying/interviewing for employment and am hoping to start working soon again.  We have so many bills and we usually keep up with them but it’s getting harder and harder to stay afloat because of our maxed out credit card.

Long-standing situation that I am asking for help with, please.

20211016_151310_compress.jpg

Hello,

I find it very uncomfortable to air my issues online, in the hope that a stranger may be able to financially aid my children and I. I have contemplated doing so for a little while now and although I am worried that it will all be out there for everyone to read and with a likely potentiality that, it will all be for nothing… I am, nonetheless, reluctantly asking for help. I would like to say now, that I have an abundance of gratitude for anyone that does decide to help, from the kindness of their heart. I will be paying forward that kind of generosity in any way that I can.

 

I am a 32 year old mother of three boys (10-15 years). Up until 2017 I was a medical secretary with a big and positive personality, that had plans to climb and learn within the medical sector. I drove, took my kids out into nature to play, every single day, stayed fit and healthy, I actually had a sense of humour and smiled and helped people every single day, but this was when a series of physical attacks finally shut my mentality down.

After this happened, I was physically recovering at home but I went from the above, to being terrified of everything. I was screaming at re-living events that felt like they were happening again, scared to leave the house or answer the phone. Daily care coordinator visits, they had to announce themselves through the letter box as I was in a deep anxiety, hiding in the most ridiculous places of my home. I completely isolated myself from the world, feeling that everything outside of these walls were dangerous. I don’t talk to ANYONE, I have no social media, it is just me and my children’s father, when he comes to help me. While I have made improvements, thanks to the crisis and recovery team, all of these things still are very difficult to do but I have been riding against the waves for my children.

A big issue is that I don’t talk to people and I have lost all of my interpersonal skills, I avoid people and their gaze if I do go outside. Sometimes, I just can’t do it especially if I can hear that the neighbours are outside.  I have new neighbours since 2017 and having barely left the house and being unable to communicate with others.. I have been branded because I am no longer normal and they have taken a disliking to me. When I do leave the house it feels like there is a constant group of school bullies remarking cruelly and laughing at me. Honestly makes me consider ending my life. (I am the only person to still have their home owned by the council on this street and I am too scared to tend the front and back garden, which of course is losing me “neighbour points”)

I am desperate to have old concrete posts removed, to have a new fence installed and the garden made to a minimal maintenance. This is what I am asking for. It won’t fix our life, of course, but I know that this is the first step to getting out of the house and having little issue with the neighbours. I don’t know how, but after I can start to get back outside I would like to find a way to be able to afford to study in my various interests of medical science. Volunteering again and then to find a job and show my children that I can do this and to be able to set an example for them, but I need help. As it stands, I am scared that I have already affected their ability to do their very best in life.

I am tired of constantly giving up mentally and then trying again, for my children and then giving up and trying again. I cannot go on like this and I don’t want this for my boys, this feels like a last resort.

 

I know full well that I am no longer normal but I still have heart for the people around me. I don’t hate my neighbours, they probably think that I am rude or ignorant and I would love to be able to show them one day, that I am not like this and I have time for them if circumstances will allow. The problem is that I keep trying to regain some normality and move forward by volunteering or taking my children out but then give up again. Often I go through bouts of ability and then crumble and retreat, usually when my neighbours shout things over at me. Usually the father of my children comes to help me and sleeps on my sofa a few days a week, he does the shopping and makes the phone calls, he has been helping me for so long and it really disgusts me that I have to rely on him for everything. I don’t want this life for them. I need to be able to move forward for them or call it quits all together. On the weekends, like today, it is just me here in the house and I creep around or sit or lay in the same position, the entire time because I am scared to be heard by the neighbours or if the door will go. I know, my life is ridiculous, I am embarrassed, I wanted so much more for my children.

I don’t really know how to document this plea for you, so I think that I will just upload a picture of my diagnosis and if you think that you can help me with the fees for garden fencing removal installation, paving installation it would probably be best for you to look up what that costs so that you can be the judge. At the moment, it is an overgrown mess with old broken concrete posts that go all of the way around. It is quite large and needs to be no maintenance. I feel awful asking for something like this, after all, to other people it is cosmetic but it may open a door for me to move forward. I know I can do better before I go, I just need some help.Please can anyone help me, I am grateful.

Clueless but trying!

Hello. I am gonna try this and pray it will help! I was raised in a single parent home with 2 siblings. My mom done the best she could and did a wonderful job teaching me life’s lessons and to how to be a productive adult. I have manners, morals, standards and how to be independent. I have always been able to take care of myself. I made alot of bad decisions throughout life and they caused me a great deal of heart ache and loss! My children was infant, 6 and 12 when they was taken from me by social services bc I had problems and wasn’t given the chance or resources to help me fix those problems. My parental rights was taken from me while I had to do some jail time and I had no way to fight them. My 2 youngest children are girl now are 10 years old and 16 years old and my son is 22 out on his own doing well. I have always been fortunate enough to be able to be in their lives and the people who adopted my girls are wonderful people who I love and am close too. They give me all the time I want with my girls to be their mama. The last 6 or 7 years of my life I found myself in a very bad abusive relationship and I didn’t think I was gonna be able to get out of but alot of prayer and my kids helped me get away and I have been on my own working at mending everything that had happened to me and start over for the better me! I have been in my own place for going on 3 years making due with what I have and some that I don’t but I am doing better and my health is getting better as well as my thinking and becoming independent again. My mobile is old and has major issues with my floors but I have made due and I pay my bills and I work. I’m trying to make it and it’s hard! I don’t like asking for help but in the last couple years I have had to ask for help and I always pay it back or pay it forward! In May of this year my oldest daughter came to stay with me for the summer and we both bonded and has made her happier and more interested in being a person and as the summer got closer to time for her to go back I couldn’t let her go and I asked if I could have the chance to be her mom and let her stay with me and they agreed. Not remembering what it took to be a parent full time I bit off more than I could chew and I am struggling hard! I have to find a way to prove to myself and my kids that I can do this but I am gonna have to get another job and the time I have to wait in between I don’t know what to do? My story is long and I admit my faults but I don’t want to be felt sorry for I just need a way to get on my feet and make my home liveable for my 16 year old and be able to take care of her at least with the basics. My job I have now doesn’t pay the greatest and I have to pick up shifts to make it thus far and I’m working on finding another. I don’t ask from the government for help bc my rights aren’t restored and I’m afraid there will be trouble for the adoptive family so we just keep it to us and then I don’t feel pressured by the people who took my children from me.in the first place! If you want to know more derails I can give them with no embarrassment just ask. But that’s my story in a nut shell. Thank you for your time and donations. Blessing to all!

Want out of poverty

Asking for help to purchase a vehicle.

I have a plan in place that will show that I am willing and able to do something to change my circumstances and am asking for a helping hand to make this plan happen.

The circumstances:

I am a 54 year old woman on SSI. I recieve approx $800 a month because I am considered disabled due to lung issues. I have no ther income. I am asking for help because I just don’t know what else to do.

My hope is to get off SSI by securing a full time job. I also am in the process of registering to attend school (I’ve filled out FAFSA) so that, ultimately, I may get off SSI and become 100% self sufficient. This is a processs and could take minimum of a year to finish.  Due to my lack of a vehicle, I cannot interview for jobs, cannot attend school (I need to be in class, I’ve tried online before and need more instruction than online offers.) I have little access to my grand children who live in another part of the country and I am basically stuck at home. Even finding rides to the store have proven to be difficult. My entire SSI goes to paying bills. Even if I could procure a vehicle loan, I don’t have the ability to pay it back or for that matter, make a payment. I have been applying for remote work from home employment for 3 solid months with no interest from any companies so far.  That’s why I am making a plea for help to buy a car. I need to be able to get to a job and live a life.  Im getting older and I am scared and have noone to help me except maybe strangers. My family isn’t in financial  a position to help and they don’t live nearby or they would. My only living parent is in his 80′ and os on a fixed income himself.

The nature of my disability doesn’t prevent me from working. I have lung disease so things like simply walking to a bus stop and walking the few blocks from a bus stop to an office are simple actions for some but over whelming some days for me. But I could certainly take any non- physical type postion if I could get there. I moved across the country to move in with a friend because of my finances and I have no friends here and noone to ask for help from. My family isn’t in a position to help. I don’t own anything or i would sell it.

Having a vehicle would provide me a way to get employment, live a  meaningful life and help me to get off of government aide once and for all.

I certainly don’t believe the world owes me anything and there are others with much greater need than I. I feel some shame even asking for help.

If you are considering helping and need verification of anything, I am happy to provide it.

 

Thank you for reading this. God bless those of you who are able to help others. I hope to be on that side of the fence soon.

 

Love and gratitude,

Rachel

I need help to get out of an unbearable living situation

I want to start this off by saying I don’t urgently need money. It’s not a life or death situation, I’m able to afford the basics. I’m asking for money to try and get me out of a difficult situation faster, but it’s not urgent. Please only donate if you’re able afford to, and if it’s a choice between donating to me or donating to someone in an immediate crisis then please choose the other person.

I’m an ex-foster kid and I have a physical disability, various health issues and mental illnesses. I don’t have any contact with any of my family or my former foster carers, I was abused at home and then again in foster care so I’m better off without them in my life. But it’s hard being on my own and not having anyone to ask for support.

I lived indendently for a little while but I wasn’t coping and if it wasn’t for my boyfriend helping me during covid then I honestly would have died. So I’ve had to move into something called “supported living”- basically I’m in a flat in a building that has staff on site to help at all times and the other people living here all have their own mental health conditions or learning disabilities. It sounds great in theory, but my mental health and physical health have been spiralling down since I got here nearly a year ago.

I have severe PTSD as a result of what I’ve been through in the past, banging and shouting are triggers and give me flashbacks to past abuse. During flashbacks I feel extreme fear and panic, and physical pain. I get a lot of “body memories” which is when you physically feel something happening to you again. I feel myself being assaulted every time there’s a loud bang or someone shouts, and in that moment I don’t realise that it’s not really happening anymore. It’s terrifying.

As I mentioned, everyone else here has mental health issues or learning disabilities or Autism. Obviously it isn’t their fault, but the other tenants shout and scream, stomp and slam doors and throw things and punch walls on a daily basis. I’m constantly being triggered here, at least 50 times every single day and I’m on a constant state of high-alert. If I moved to another supported living service, there would be the same issues as people who use these services often experience similar behaviours as a result of their conditions. They aren’t quiet places to live. I’ve been informed by members of staff that this is actually the quietest service in the local area, so I dread to think how I would cope if I moved to one of the other ones.

My life is torture at the moment. I can’t sleep, I get horrific nightmares and I wake up constantly. The lack of sleep is making it even harder to cope with my emotions as well as making it even harder for me to get around. I have IBS (along with some other gastro-intestinal issues) which is worsened by stress and my symptoms have gotten so bad whilst living here that I’ve had to start getting my nutrition through pescription milkshakes because I can’t keep enough food down. I have severe diarrohea, stomach pain and nausea every single day and I’ve lost a lot of weight. Sometimes when I’m really stressed I even end up vomitting,  which is especially awful as I have emetophobia (a phobia of vomit.)

The doctors were worried I had cancer due to my symptoms and weight loss (and I don’t thankfully) but that should explain how extreme things have gotten. I’ve had to start wearing children’s clothes as I can’t find anything in the adult departments to fit me anymore and that terrifies me. I can’t afford to lose any more weight and I’m scared that I will the way things are going.

I can’t take medication to help with my mental health or IBS as medication is also a trigger due to a traumatic past suicide attempt. If I take medication I physically feel like I’m dying for hours afterwards, that isn’t something I can put myself through every day and any positive outcomes from the medication would likely be cancelled out due to the stress of taking it. And honestly I’ve been on medication before and none of it’s helped. My therapist left last year and I’ve been unable to access any more help for my mental health because I can’t get through the initial assessment process, I’ve tried and they ask so many questions about past trauma right from the beginning that I just can’t cope with it. I’m literally not at a point where I’m mentally well enough to be able to access mental health help, which is ironic.

I’ve realised that my only hope of things getting any better is to get out of where I’m living. Supported living just isn’t an option for me, and I can’t cope with living on my on. Even if I had carers coming in to my home to help, I often need out of hours help and emergencies aren’t 9-5. My only option really is to move in with my boyfriend. He’s a huge help, both with my physical issues and my mental health issues. He’s the only one who knows how to calm me down from a panic attack or a flashback or a nightmare. But saving up to move out is easier said than done, my boyfriend is currently on minimum wage and working part-time (due to the amount he has to help me, even with me living in a place like this) and I’m on benefits. Most of my money each month goes on my heating bill as I have circulatory and joint issues that leave me always cold, as well as a weakened immune system that means I can get ill easily if I don’t stay warm enough. I’m doing my best to save, so is he, but we’re left with barely anything at the end of every month and at this rate it’s going to be years and years before we have enough money to move in together and honestly I don’t know if I can cope until then. I feel like I can’t manage here another day, let alone years. Benefits are getting reduced next month and energy bills are increasing again, so things are just going to get even harder. I’ve also recently had to buy a new bed and mattress due to a leak in my flat destroying my old ones, and I had to buy a new vacuum cleaner as my old one broke, which basically reduced the money I had managed to save back down to nothing. And unlike most young couples looking to move in together, we can’t just grab the cheapest flat we can find because we need somewhere that’s wheelchair accessible and has a wet room due to my disability.

That’s why I’m posting this. I’ve been doing what I can, taking surveys online for a little extra money every month and my boyfriend has taken on an extra paper round every morning, but we’re still a long, long, long way away from me getting out of here. I feel so trapped and I’m honestly scared that I’ll end up in hospital before I manage to make it out of here. I hate having to ask for financial help, especially for something that isn’t urgent, but I had to try something because I’m desperate.
If anyone has read this and wants to spare a little money to help me and my boyfriend move in together somewhere quieter and more suited to my needs, then all I can say is thank you from the bottom of my heart. Every little bit honestly helps and brings me one step closer to freedom.

A Retired Nurse Needs A Little Help Paying the Tax Collector

Hi, I am a retired nurse with thirty-five years of service in the profession. During my 35 years of working in a Hospital setting I always gave to others, worked long hours, and gave the very best care to my patients, It really is a Godly profession and I always showed my patients that they mattered and not only gave them my time but also a piece of my heart. My love for my profession made it difficult to leave, and a part of me is still there. I never thought the day would come when I would have to ask for assistance. This has been a rough year and my expenses overcame my bank account, and I still owe the IRS over 5000.00, I have 2000.00 to give them but I will still owe them 3000.00 and some change. I had to retire due to being overwhelmed during the Covid Pandemic and I did give it my best shot but my immune system was not up to the stress and the fast pace. I have never asked for money, I have always been the one to buy the person behind me in line their breakfast or their lunch, i gave money to the man or woman on the side of the road, it is who I am, my personality, I am a giver. All I can promise is to pay  it forward in the future and to give back to the community. I am hoping to someday return to Nursing in a different role, I am old but not dead. I promise I will again be the giver to someone who needs assist.

Home Needs Roof and Mold Removal

Who thinks they will ever have to put their problems on the internet?  Not me for sure.  I am a 53yo female and I’ve lived in this house for 17 years. I was previously married for 20yrs had a home, business, cars and overnight it was gone I chose to walk away from a bad situation. I didn’t fight because my  ex had already had IRS trouble and me fighting would have nailed his coffin. I couldn’t do that. After a long depression I eventually moved here and a great friend the owner of home has been a lifesaver but has reached a different point in life so have decided to sell.  I have the option to purchase for $10,000 but without some repairs I cant begin to hope for a loan.  The roof has been neglected so now several rooms the ceiling has caved in.  Along with the entire back porch.  There is black mold very visible.  I feel if I can come up with $2500 maybe less I can repair roof enough to prevent further damage, buy mold cleaner and supplies to remove the mold, then patch ceiling in the damaged places.  I think I could then work on financing options.   I have only one derogatory thing on my credit a charged off credit card that shows twice since account was sold in the amount of $680.  I’ve never had credit card debt and due to an acute sudden onset of angle closure glaucoma several years ago I failed to pay the one account.    I lost vision in one eye only.    I am trying to become an Enrolled Tax Preparer with the IRS but that’s another $2000 I can work on after this.    This is the only home I’ve known for 17 years, I know the neighbors and feel safe.  I can walk to the store and feel safe.  Moving is terrifying, and I know I can make this a nice home again.    I will keep a detailed record of every donation and pay everyone back.   It’s not good to boast about what you do for people in need and I’m not saying this to do that, but I’ve always been the one everyone comes to when they need something.    I’ve given my last dollar at times.   I never in a million years could have imagined I’d be the one needing help this way.  I have many pictures if anyone needs.    I’m great with paperwork,  bookkeeping and other clerical duties.  Getting house fixed will enable me to get a loan and part I can use for a cheap auto.    Then I can be useful to everyone.    I am selling baseball cards online to pay for utilities and food, I work at it every day.    I just can’t make so much at once.    Again, I will repay everyone,  I am just desperately trying to finally have a life and be independent.    I just have to trust that it will work out.   If it doesn’t I don’t know how I’ll move anywhere different.   I feel bad asking because our veterans are homeless, people are hungry everyday,  so my problem is nothing compared to some.    I just know that when I’m functioning under normal circumstances I can help others.  Thank you for reading and if you choose to donate I’ll keep my promises,  update regularly and be forever grateful for your generosity.

Covid victim needing a little help.

Hi.  I am 66 years old and I live in Northern Ireland, part of the United Kingdom. I have been married for 43 years and have two daughters and five granddaughters. I have been working since I was a very young schoolboy; first on farms mostly for pocket money and then in adult life I drove lorries for many years, mostly local.  I have always managed to keep my family fed and clothed and kept a roof over our heads so we always managed to keep our heads above water, as they say. We have never had a foreign holiday but usually managed a day or two away somewhere local when our kids were on school holidays.  We have always had a car which was needed for school runs although our cars were usually on hire purchase. We don’t smoke or drink and any spare money would be on the kids for Christmas or school clothes, etc. Life was very simple and we concentrated on the kids and gave them all the help and encouragement we could at school. Our reward came when they both got to university and ended up in good jobs.  When the girls married, I became particularly close with one son in law and we formed a wee business together doing gardening work; fencing, decking, paving, etc.  I really enjoyed this and we bought a cheap van for all our equipment.  Life was fairly good and for the first time in our lives, the wife and I had a few spare pennies to ourselves. But we didn’t waste them. We took it upon ourselves to help out our grandchildren. We would help with school uniforms and take the girls out especially at times when their parents were working and we had days off. I loved this time together and having money in my pocket for burgers and ice cream made me feel like a king.  Eventually I decided to cut my work back as I was having trouble with a disc in my back. I now only worked three days a week but it was enough for us to live on and still treat the grandkids.  Actually, it was like having the best of both worlds. Our girls, both generations, mean everything to my wife and I. I’m sure most people feel the same.  My son in law eventually took on a full time helper and I just continued on on my own with little jobs that were easier to do. I was still bringing in a steady income.  I used my car for my tools and still helped out with the school runs. Five kids at three different schools and five different times for getting out is no easy task but we managed it.  My health was holding out and my wife continued to do her chores at home while helping out with washing, cooking and other things while our daughters were at work.  When the Covid19 virus hit with lockdowns, my work dried up.  Now we really started to struggle. The few jobs I was able to do locally barely put food on the table. Even when restrictions lifted, it wasn’t much help. I did all I could but with not working full time any more, I wasn’t entitled to any help.  I was waiting patiently for things to improve so that I could work again as I fully intended to work through pension age when it came, as long as I could.  Then last January I took Covid.  On the night I was taken into hospital, I wasn’t expected to live. My girls all stood at the back of the ambulance looking in at me and all I could do was to wave my hand at them. I’ll never forget seeing the tears in their eyes as the ambulance doors were closed. My wife was allowed into the ambulance to say ‘goodbye’ and I found out later it was in case I wasn’t coming back. In the hospital, I remember the nurses on their knees by my bed talking to me but I wasn’t really taking it in.  I had Covid pneumonia and clots on my lungs. My left leg had grown to about four times the size of my right leg and I was sure it was the end. However, God was good to me. I pulled through and after two weeks I was allowed home. I was still on oxygen for another four months and now I am trying to live a ‘kind of life’ as best I can. I still have many issues. My lungs are still not clear and I get out of breath very easily. I can walk ok and can drive but that’s it.  I had intended to keep on working but I realise that that is not possible.  I am now receiving my state pension but that in no way keeps two people even with our simple needs. We desperately need a car as the old one has just packed in. It is no longer ‘fixable’.  It was sixteen years old.  I don’t want a new one. I just want one that goes from A to B without breaking down. I want to be able to do the school runs and call into the corner shop with the girls for goodies. I have never been rich and have no desire to be so. On the one occasion when my wife and I came into some money, we gave a sum of it away to someone who was in need. Now I find myself in that situation. My mum died this June. She was 99 years old. It turned out that the money she had gathered up for her funeral was no longer there. I have suspicions but can’t prove anything. My daughters paid for the funeral and I just felt so helpless.  If you would like to donate even a few pounds or dollars to help my wife and I out, we would be extremely grateful to you. I have put my PayPal link underneath. Thank you very much.

Need a car to support family and get to work to pay bills and for son to go to college

Hello, thank you for clicking on my link. As you already know, times are hard right now. I lost my job due to covid. And to beat it all my truck blew up. This has severely hurt my entire family. My gf is a single mother with congestive heart failure at only 38 years old! We have tried to instill in our son a life of God, Love, and Hard work. So asking for help feels very foreign to me. Our son has recently been accepted to The University of the Cumberland! It’s a prestigious school set not far from our gorgeous home here in the Appalachian Mountains in South Eastern Kentucky. As you all probably know Ky is not known for our educated citizens. Well education is very important to our family, which is the main reason I am finding the courage to ask for this help. We currently do not have a vehicle. I have a job offer from an employer that is willing to work with me around our son’s school scheduling and my girlfriends heart problems. However I do not have transportation to get to the job or to get him to classes everyday. I do not want my son to have to worry about anything other than his education. He refuses to live on campus because of his mother’s health. Her heart only works at 25% so it is not too far fetched that anything could happen at anytime. And I don’t blame him. He has grown up in church and has also started preaching. And he tells me every day to have faith that it will all work out of it is the Lord’s Plan. I wish I had as much faith as he does. Not being able to get him to classes will result in him not being able to go to college and I just can’t bare to think that all it would take is just one even 20 yr old used car to be able to get me to work, him to college, and my girl to the doctors apts and pharmacy runs that are essential for keeping her alive and with us long enough to see her son grow to be the wonderful man that we have raised him up to be. He worries about his mother getting to the Dr and he wants so badly to go to college and make something of himself! He has the grades and the caring drive to be a nurse practitioner or APRN. That is what he wants to do other than his gospel preaching at church. He has been talking about even working a full time job to get his own car to help the family. But I don’t have a way to even get him to an interview to get a job! The viscous cycle of bad luck mixed with our regions lack of public transportation (we do not have busses or taxis or subways here in our very small town in southeastern ky) has caused millions of people to have to resort to drug dealing, meth making, false disability claims, theft, and countless other ways to survive in this beautiful yet poor and unforgiving part of our wonderful country. So please, if you want to help someone please consider helping us because we’re not unwilling to work for what we have, we WANT to work! Which is why we’re having to ask for help for a way to GET STARTED and GET TO SCHOOL and WORK. If not for me and his sick mother, then please do it for our son. An intelligent, humble, loving, beautiful boy who just wants to learn and grow to be the man that we know he can be! We don’t need much, we just need enough to get one used reliable vehicle in order to give us and him a future. Thank you for your time and consideration. I greatly appreciate you taking the time out of your day to even read my plea for help. God Bless You, and God Bless America!
