Thank you for taking the time to read my post.  I never thought life would come to this and I know there are many others who deserve help before me.  But nonetheless my family needs me and we need a roof over our head.  I have been a technician doing appliance repair, plumbing and electrical work for the past 10 years.  Before this I was a firefighter, something I strived my entire life to be.  When I was a toddler thru adult hood I wanted nothing more in life but to save peoples lives.  I did hours and hours of training, I was captain of fire explorers training younger kids how to become a firefighter and what it involves.  I also took college courses to get my degree in fire science.  Until life took a turn for the worst and I had to leave my job as a firefighter it seemed like before life had began.  I was in a terrible motor cycle accident that broke my femur in half and shattered 4 discs in my neck and back.  I was able to recover with time and multiple surgeries but was only able to recover enough to get back out and find a job because my wife was unable to do it alone.  Having 2 daughters at the time and family I have had been in a place that they could not help.  I had to make it work and get back to work.  My wife was working 50 hrs plus a week and I had to go back to work so we could keep a roof over our head.  She is my rock and has done so much for our family and me taking care of everything when I couldn’t and always staying faithfully by my side no matter what.  I started to work in the appliance repair industry and found that I really enjoyed doing the work and talking with new people everyday.  I have met so many wonderful people in my years as a technician.  But as the years have passed I have continued and struggled with my pain and what I could and could not do in my line of work due to I with my previous injuries if I made one wrong move I may never be able to work again.  Then came our 3rd child that was not planned even know I was fixed we created the most beautiful baby boy.  Years went on and day by day I could tell things with my health were not getting any better.  Well the time came at the end of 2018 that my past injuries have made the pain unmanageable and I have started to lose feeling in my arms and legs.  I am now not able to do physical labor as I was before and have been forced to try and find a stay at home job so I may continue to support my family.  I have found a job and have been working but the money coming in is barely enough for our family to eat much less pay back the huge debt I have gotten us into from loans.  I owe over $110,000 dollars between student loans, auto loans, and credit cards and I just dont know where else to turn, my stress is destroying me inside and my wife is just in tears a lot.  I am now so upside on my vehicles that I cannot trade them in or sell them and may have to let them go.  I can always get new vehicles but I cannot survive without any vehicle as there schools are not within reasonable walking distance.  My wife is working hard with a company as data entry but the bills are piling up so fast we are going to lose it all if I cannot find an angel or someone willing to help us out.  Please if you’re out there please whatever you can help with is better than nothing.  I promised my family I would never let anything bad happen and I know I can make good money but its going to take about 6 months of hard work to get where I need to before I start making the money I need.  I cannot fail on my promise and I will continue to strive to sell everything I own if I have to but if I lose our home we have no where to go.  I have been homeless before and it’s nothing I could ever imagine doing to my family.  I worked so hard to become a firefighter and then lost it all in a heart beat because of a car not paying attention ran into while I was on my motorcycle.  Now I don’t have a choice but to make this working from home work and I know its not easy and I will never give up but I need some help or I may lose it all.  Its a lot of money that I am needing but again anything will help and even if you’re unable to help thank you for at least taking the time to read my story.  I have never had any luck on anything and life just keeps throwing me curve balls, I just need something to go right and work in my favor.   So please consider helping this family out and know that any and everything you help with will be so appreciated and never forgotten.  Please help me get back on my feet before I lose not only my mobility but a roof over my family’s head.  I will do anything I have to for my family to get the money so if I can do something to earn the money I am willing to take all necessary steps to keep my family in the life they deserve.  Thank you again for taking time to read my story.  I hope you have a blessed day.

We were doing OK so last year when our daughter got engaged and we promised her that we would give her $20,000 for her wedding. Since my wife got breast cancer, medical bills have made that promise impossible to keep. Her tumor was attached to her chest wall according to Beaumont Hospital doctors, and they believed that the the tumor was not somewhat movable so their recommended course of action was surgery first. After surgery they would evaluate the cancer through tests to determine whether chemotherapy and radiation would be additional courses of actions. We had no experience with cancer and didn’t know what to do. We chose to get a second opinion at U-M Hospital. Their doctors believed that the tumor was strongly affixed to her chest wall so their recommended course of action was chemotherapy first because they believed that the chemotherapy treatments would loosen the tumor from the chest wall and that would make it easier for the surgeon to extract all of the tumor. Now we had two different courses of action. We weighed each and truly felt that – considering the details of each hospital’s diagnosis – that choosing Beaumont was the right course of action. My wife had surgery two weeks later and we learned moments after the surgery to remove the tumor that it was not affixed and that it “peeled off.” This result – all things considered – was a blessing as my wife did not have to first have chemotherapy. As testing progressed after the surgery and we received my wife’s oncotype number, we learned that chemotherapy was not recommended. This was another blessing as my wife’s mother had died from the effects of strong chemotherapy treatments for ovarian cancer many years earlier. My wife has been in remission since her surgery and through all of the research we have done to prevent cancer from coming back, we have changed our diets to be entirely plant based in order to minimize the ingestion of substances (especially sugar) that feed cancer cells in everyone’s bodies.

We know we’re not the only ones in the world with hardships in this complicated world but the timing of her diagnosis made things very difficult. On top of that, I recently became unemployed so I am spending all of my time looking for work. Our daughter is getting married this summer and we want it to be the most memorable experience of her life.

To say we would be deeply appreciative of any contribution to this goal would be an understatement. Thank you for reading about our life and we wish you the best in health and happiness throughout 2019 and beyond.

Sincerely,

Hi,

We never ask for anything really. We are usually the ones helping. We need to raise about $15,000 to correct our lives. It sounds dumb. Just $15k? Well let me fill you in on the story.

Hurricane Harvey hit our area. Several friends had no way to leave. Including my family. And we could not go to work with the businesses being damaged. Being skilled workers we did what we know how to do. We got together and began working on homes to help the people of our community. We completed 4 homes but had one remaining. Our bids where low. We where happy to help and it gave us enough extra cash to scrape by till we could go back to work. The one that remains is a dear friend and I am working myself to death trying to finish. The guys I had working with me “friends” kept making mistakes causing me to double back buy materials and do the work again. I have had to spend around $22k of our own saved money to buy materials and keep working. So for the last 6 months I have gone back to work full time at a refinery. I get off work drive to the home and work there till around 8:30 to 9 drive home exhausted eat ,shower ,sleep and get up at 4 am to do it all again . I’m exhausted. The time not spent with my family is taking it’s tole. My friendship with the owners hos not been going well as imagined. I pulled an sba loan for my personal home after the storm and exhausted what I did get from them in repairs of my home. With the guys leaving. Tools and materials from the site coming up missing and the money all spent I am basically working myself to death just to lose everything we have works so hard for over the years. We can’t get any loans because our credit is shot from all of this. We cannot mortgage because of the sba loan and we are out of options and I don’t think we will hold out much longer. The company name we made was a sole proprietor which is me and my friends do not want to have to sue the company and tank me just to get it done. With the $15k this is what would happen. I have spoken to another contractor who agreed to complete the work for this amount. There home would be done and there lives could return to normal and the strain on there marriage would subside. I could finally rest. For once in a year and a half. With this stress and energy and financial drained off of my shoulders I could mend the relationship with my wife. Spend time with my son and once again enjoy being on this Earth instead off feeling like a defeated drone with no end in site. I am begging. Please help us to get out of this dark place we have found our selves in. All we wanted to do was work to help. And in the end we have found heart ache and not thanks. We are broken. Please help.

Hello, I was so excited to write this because I believed I have found someone to help me, so excited that I wrote this without a title and without putting or adding my paypal information DUH! So I am guessing that I should have written more information so you can have a true understanding of what and why I needed so much help that I found this website :)

First off I was diagnosed with Lupus, If perhaps your unsure what that is let me explain, its an autoimmune disease it can cause pain in your bones in your joints and all of your organs. this disease can take your strength away I was exhausted most of the time, I couldn’t drive because I was just to weak, I spent an enormous amount of time in and out of all hospital however there were days when I felt a little closer to normal lol. Then I had a stroke and I couldn’t speak I couldn’t walk nor could I move my rt arm but I didn’t let that stop me I spent a whole month in rehab, came home did more rehab, and I was back again. O I forgot to tell you I had foot drop for 13 years, foot drop means exactly that I lift my foot up and it dropped down. I found a doctor who surgical repaired them both after 13 years I was extremely happy to get out of the braces I had to wear everyday.

So after coming thru Lupus and a major stroke, I started to work out moved on my own starting to drive again I was so happy, I eventually got a part time job and was thrilled because I was unable to work for 20 yrs! Somehow I started to get sick I mean I started off losing my appetite, then eventually I started to not have a taste for anything to drink.  Obviously I ended up in a hospital and now Im on a new journey I was put on dialysis (UGH) where I have decided that I should be off this machine!! Of  course then what happens? Well I had to go to back to the hospital WHY you ask well I could not breath I had fluid on my lungs I could not breath or talk, so then eventually they found out it was my heart had two heart surgeries.

Well while this was going on I lost my job. I just wanted you to have some of this information.

Now I have different things I need help with so whatever amount you bless me with will be much appreciated. My roof needs to be replaced it is leaking through out my entire house, I have had squirrels, possums living in my roof, it leaks so bad that it has had my electrical box is wet inside, so now it needs to be replaced, I need new windows, I’m sure I have more inside work I just do not know what they are. I need a garage door, I need help paying for my taxes on my house, I also need help to find me a good holistic doctor, I really need at least 3 to 6 month of bills paid…..car ins and car note, utilities, food phone bill etc.

So if you can please help me in any amount you see fit it will more than appreciate it. I dont know what kind of paperwork because it is a roof and mostly repairs. ALL I CAN SAY IS THANK YOU THANK YOU AGAIN!!!

Hello my name is Nathan and i’m here asking for money for my family. Let me first tell you about myself and some of the problems i’ve been running into for the last couple of years. When I was 14 I was diagnosed with extreme social anxiety and mild depression. Throughout my highschool years I barley attended them at all. Every morning I woke up to go to school I could barley move, Knowing that I’d have to face so many people and worrying about what they would think of me. It freaked me out to the point where I would have panics attacks. The first 2 years of Highschool I almost never attended. I broke my mothers heart back then because she knew what would happen to me if I didn’t attend school. She tried as hard as possible to get my school to help with a I.E.P from the school but my school almost made it impossible to get one for me due to the fact that I wasn’t physically disabled. So at 16 I was able to obtain my GED. One of the proudest moments of my life to be honest. To be able to give the school the middle finger after the said I would never be able to achieve anything. The last couple of years I have tried my best to get jobs. The issue I always run into is I can barley talk to anyone without turning beat red and freezing up being unable to say a word. My current situation is i’m living with my mother who I see bending over backwards trying to support us. I’ve tried so hard to get a job and try to help her out but I’ve been unable too. We are currently struggling pay check to paycheck which is why I’m here today. I was hoping that maybe some of you could help me out. I would like to be able to help her so shes not always worried about if she’ll be able to get food for us this week or not or have enough gas to get her to work. At this point I know I’m a burden to her being almost completely useless. I feel like all I can do is watch after the house while shes away. All I’m asking from whoever is currently ready this Is offer what little you can so I can help my mother out. I want you to all know I don’t wish to use this forever as hopefully maybe I can find a job that suites me as i will be actively looking for one. Anything you can offer would help out. I apologize about the bad sentencing and grammar. I’m trying to learn how to do it currently as i wasn’t in school a lot to learn it. Thank you for taking you time out of your day to read this.

Hello and thank you for taking the the time to read this. I am an art college student and work at my college part time, as well as work another part time job. College is far from cheap, art students feel this more I believe. I had financial aid for most of my tuition, but used my credit cards to pay the difference, as well as pay for supplies and transportation as I do not own a car. My loving grandmother use to give me small amounts of money and it helped so much, she passed away in April of 2018.

With her passing I became more responsible for things, the house we lived at, bills, etc. I have been selling all that I can and cutting back on everything that is not really needed, and some things that are. But it still is not enough. My credit cards are now maxed, holding a little over $8,000 combined. Between college and home I have reached a point where I do not know what to do. I have looked for other jobs, I have tried to get loans, all ending with nothing. With what I make and my balance on my cards not bank will loan me enough to at the least consolidate my debt so that I could have just a little more cash to work with. I have three living family members left and all have their own families to provide for. So at my ends I found this site and thought I really have nothing left to loss but asking for help.

I am really hoping for some light, something to get me out of this dark hole and fear of not having a home or losing my chance of finishing my college degrees. I do not like asking for help, least of all from people I do not know. If anyone reads this and finds it in their hearts to help me even in the smallest way know I am beyond grateful.

Hi, my name is Debbie and I really need some help to pay my rent and bills that are overdue. I have raised 3 daughters by myself and got nothing from my ex for support until my twins were almost 12 years old. Then I started getting $469 a month. Long story short… Last year I made an agreement with my ex to accept a payoff of the child support. At that time he still owed $68,000 in back child support and fees. I agreed to take a settlement of $18,000…$15,000 in march 2018 and he was supposed to pay $3000 in November 2018. I was very stupid in believing him. I told him that he definitely needed to pay the $3000 because that would cover my rent through the winter. He promised that he would. I used the $15,000 to pay rent for 6 months and I bought each of my twin daughters their first car… Well then when November came he wouldn’t answer my calls. My daughter asked him ” dad, when are you going to pay mom?” His reply was “NEVER” ” I ONLY TOLD HER THAT TO GET HER TO SIGN OFF THE CHILD SUPPORT CASE”.

So now I am stuck with no work and no money. I am facing eviction I lost a storage unit in November because he didn’t pay… Which had most of my kids childhood things in there. I am a really hard working person., I do asphalt seal coating in the spring and summer as my occupation. So winter is usually tough. … But this year is even worse than normal. I thought he would never do this because he had promised our daughters also!! Who does that?

In the Fall of 2018 The Whitsun Leadership Group organized a 20′ container of books, learning resources and other items to go from Freeport, Bahamas to Liberia, West Africa in order to help build ‘Libraries in Liberia’.  This effort came about after a visit to Liberia in 2016 where we found that the country would be helped if they had more libraries and so we decided to undertake a major effort to collect sufficient books in order to help build about 3-4 medium libraries or about 7-10 small libraries.  We were successful in collecting over 350 boxes of books along with over 30 encyclopedia sets.  We also helped to start a school in Liberia with a donation of over 1,000 pounds of books in 2014; so our effort in 2016 was building on that of two years prior. The container was shipped and arrived in Liberia in one piece but now its clearance has been held up due to the fact that organizer and recipient do not have the balance of funds needed to clear it.

We face a whole host of fees including terminal fees, shipping line fees, broker fees, transport fees and more.  We have already paid a number of bills relating to the container so far and were almost complete in the process but a mistake was made by the authorities and it costs a delay along with additional fees that we were required to pay.  We have protested and requested consideration in our case but it has fallen on deaf ears. This has been very disheartening and we fear that all of our effort, the assistance of our community and others will all go in vain.

We do not wish to have the container go into the hands of the Liberian government because its contents may not very well benefit the children that the goods were originally earmarked for.  The goods are being directed to a local orphanage and includes items like clothes, computers and sewing machines in order to clothe and teach the children a trade in order to make them self-sufficient. Every day the bill is increasing and it places the successful conclusion of our efforts in jeopardy!  We have tried a number of avenues to get the funds but have not been able to do so.

If we can get the assistance of a group of persons to help us raise approximately $7,500 it will help us to avoid the container being auctioned off.

We appreciate any amount that you can give towards this goal.

well to let you know who i am i need to tell you a bit about my life.

at 5 years old i was homeless, living in a bush with my father and little brother and sister. often left alone we would have to scavenge for food for weeks at a time.

around 8 years old i we were put into foster care. which was better because we had cloths a roof over our heads and. often as many kids in foster home know not all foster homes are equal some, from my own personal experience are very abusive.

after many foster homes we were adopted and things started getting better. my dream was to return home to my biological family and show them that i made it. i was the first in my family to finish school and things started getting better

unfortunately things didn’t work out because of very unfortunate circumstances my biological mother had passed. Following that the man i call dad, who adopted me had passed away due to terminal cancer.

now being an adult i took it upon myself to help my family that adopted me. which brought me a bit of debt. trying my best to help my family on my single income. i incurred further debt from ex-partners.

i wish i could be so saintly to say all my debt was from helping others but unfortunately i am not so humble. i have incurred my own debt trying to start my own business and i am barely managing with a debt of $89,000.

i do not expect anyone to pay such an amount. but any donations would be much appreciated.  from me no matter how hard things get i am always trying to help. so asking is very hard for me.

Thank you.

Hello,

I recently graduated with a Sport and Science bachelor degree which I haven’t been able to get a job in what I was major in. During my time in college, I was unable to do an internship as I had to work full time, care for my son, and attend college. It took me a long time to finish, but I persevere to get done what I started and to serve as an example for my son. On that same note, all the jobs required experience which I haven’t acquired as of yet because the opportunity is not giving unless you know someone. I’m very family oriented and all the time I have I spend it with my son; therefore, I don not know that much people out-side of work.

I’ve been in my job for 10 years where I was promoted and obviously a raise was giving. But, I still live check to pay check and now I have to start repaying my student loan debt.

The reasons I decided to post here was because I recently was a victim of a scam where I was told that I qualified for a loan forgiveness and how I was only to pay 10% of the whole amount. What made them so convincing was that they had all my sensitive information, so I felt for it. They charge me an initial $240. Thankfully it wasn’t much but I had to skip other bills which I’m now behind.

The second reason is because early this year, I wanted to buy a home because what I pay for rent, it would be the same amount if I had my own.  However, the amount that i qualified for was not enough to get a decent home. I was told I didn’t qualified for higher loan rate because of my school loan.

It would be a blessing if you can lend me a hand and pay my school loan debt (51K) ,and give my 11 year old son and me the opportunity to get a place we can call home.

Thank you,

Hi, I guess I should start out by saying that life and Murphy’s Law has been kicking my husband and I in the lower regions for a little over 2 years now.  If you name it, it has happened to us.  From my 27 yr old daughter being diagnosed with rare bone cancer to having at least 5 deaths in the family over a 24 month period.   My husband and I have always been the ones who  gave anything and everything to others (including, the shirts off of our backs, literally) and now we find that we’re in the situation of needing help.  To be honest, this business of “catching up” is killing us financially and health wise.  He is on disability (which barely sustains us} and I suffer from migraines constantly and have serious health issues myself. My husband suffers from Huntington disease, which is similar to Parkinsons disease and is now forced to use a wheelchair and walker all the time. At 54, being wheelchair bound is not an easy thing to accept when you’re used to being independent.  I’ve been trying to manage bills, take care of house and maintain (I make jewelry as a hobby) but it’s beyond me now since my hands give me problems (a minor result of a mini stroke).  Most of our bills are a month behind, I’ve been using a friend’s car for the last 6 months because ours died and we’re barely making rent or have enough for the necessities left over.  What savings we had are long gone, as I mentioned, a busy 2 years. We  went from being active in community and artists to pretty much confined to home.  I’m at the point now where I am humbled enough (not that we weren’t humble before) to ask for assistance.

I’ve added everything together and estimated that to get back on track, we would need at least $7,000. To me it seems like a lot to ask for, but I’m asking in the hope that with the kindness of strangers we will be gifted some of it. Any help at all would be a huge difference in our lives right now.  I thank you from the bottom of my heart in advance and may God bless all of the angels who choose to give, those who have blessed others already and extra blessing to the founders of this website.  Even if we don’t receive a penny, it’s a wonderful thing that you all are doing and I thank you. Thank you!

Here is a little bit of my story… with a corrupt and horrid dcs office and judge…

First off my name is Kendall Brewster im from new castle Indiana I’m currently 30 years old and im a mother of 5 beautiful children…
my children are the reason im am writing this so maybe someone will be willing to help me n my family…..
my children had been removed from me I only had 4 at the time when I got pregnant with my son then they took him from me from the hospital…
the four older children are with family but my baby is no longer with family and we want him back…

let me start at the beginning of the whole situation…..
I am an addict who had relapsed so me knowing I was unable to care for my kids properly I sent them to stay with family….. they were attending school they were being fed watched over and more…. they were and still are being well taken care of…

Child Protective Services came knocking at my door one day….. I was not happy to see them for one and two my children had not been with me for weeks at this point. I may be many things but a bad mother that I am not, but DCS still said they were removing them from my care so on n so on…. it was all about paperwork for them… I had not put my children in any bad situations, nor had I used around my children or harmed my children…. from the beginning of my relapse I had done what was best for my children and placed them with family… I did right by my children and just because I’m a single mother who is also an addict im not looked at in the nicest way.
so I go to court they paint me as this horrid person and mother im so distraught by the whole situation but what was I to do… I complied to the best of my abilities… there were a few bumps along the way but I did everything they asked of me I danced real pretty for them even done extra things… I was clean and sober I was pregnant as well that did save my life back then…. so a few weeks before my son was born I had gone and bonded their father out of jail and everything went from being great the kids were back living at home with me at this point… DCS got all pissy I signed a piece of paper to try n give my children’s father a chance to be a good father after he started to comply but they never gave him a chance…

my kids’ father has a pretty bad criminal background so they disliked him very much…

the judge on the DCS case is the judge on the fathers’ criminal cases
hes, my cousin
I also filed a change of judge n change of venue due to the fact I pissed him off with my answers to a few of his questions he asked me after that on July 5, 2017, I had been told that I was no longer allowed any contact with my girls.
my son I was allowed to see until they removed him from family for no reason… still won’t give me a reason for his n his removal. nor will I get any reason for the no contact with my girls…

I hired a paid lawyer but he was of no help he is in with the judges here so he didn’t wanna make waves… so I had to fire him as my attorney.
my family and I have been trying to get my son back since his removal but the judge ain’t having it…

there is way more to the situation but I was giving just a rough overview im in desperate need of legal help…. the city im from makes the rules up as they go along it is not right its not fair… I love my children very much n want them back if not to me family please help me…

I have recently been told I have to leave a home I’ve been living in 10 years.
with the removal of my children and everything else that was going on in and around my life, I had become severely depressed. I was and still am barely able to get out of my bed or to even stay awake… I barely have the will to get up and go to the restroom or shower that’s about the only thing I do, do… I don’t want to be this way I try to get better some days now are better but most days are bad… I am all alone with nobody to help me so me being alone makes things even worse because I only have myself to talk to…

I do not wanna have to leave I’m scared ill be homeless nowhere to go no one to go to its so frightening for me im like frozen…

I needing money for a lawyer and money to save the home im being told I have to leave because I have not been able to pay my rent…

My life should be a movie. I was married for twenty years to an undiagnosed narcissist/high functioning Asperger man.

I held off on my dreams to support him in his.

Three children, five years of being my live in mother in laws main caretaker,  Soccer, gymnastics, T-ball, fishing, brownies, high school dances, cooking, laundry, paying bills, lawn care, any social event, Christmas shopping, you get the picture every single thing from soup to nuts was 100% on my shoulders. I was so young and dumb, I did it with a smile.

He was never emotionally present as a husband.  I always felt alone and rejected.  Every outing I went by myself or with my children. He doesn’t see the value in women unless it’s to birth children. He never cared that I had emotional needs. It was more as if his presence felt like I had a fourth child.  I worked so hard outside of the home as well because he had spending issues financially. Two years ago I had a heart attack followed by a cardiac arrest. The doctors saved my life. I am a 3% miracle who actually live after such event. Doctors told my husband I needed to go home and rest to get my heart stronger for a second round of surgery. My husband reached out to my siblings to let them know that he couldn’t care for me and I couldn’t go home.

I was unaware of the above situation until approximately eight months after my cardiac arrest. Since then I managed to move out. However I have mounds of medical, credit card, and bills, that make me just want to go to bed and cry.  The stress and anxiety I feel about my finances on a daily basis cannot be good for my health. I am so tired. I just need a break in life and I am really looking for the grace of God or a miracle out there that someone reads this and feels called to help. If anyone is able to help thank you so much and God bless.

I am 40 years old.  My ex-wife and I were married for 4 years.  When she lost a little weight, and after I bought her a boob job, she divorced me.  This was about a year and a half ago.  We share custody of our two little boys, ages 4 and 6.

When I moved out, I paid all her bills and continued to be extremely generous with “child support” for several months, while starting a new life at the same time.  I worked hard to have a solid career (Dept. of Defense Contractor in Info. Tech.), but that hard work could only keep one of us afloat after the split.  Being the moral man I am, I chose her.  I thought it was for a good cause.  She kept the idea of us getting back together dangling in front of me until she filed for the divorce.  Literally, the day she submitted the divorce paperwork, her personality changed.  It was like Jekyll and Hyde.  She was a stranger, and evil, cold stranger.  Oh, and she had been been working as a stripper, and an escort (prostitute), and had several wealthy men giving her allowances on a regular basis.  Well, that sucks on many levels (no pun intended).

Since the week I moved out a year and a half ago, she has been making more money than I have.  Quite a bit more, actually.  Unfortunately, I still have to pay her.  I’m not bitter.  I still share equal custody of my boys.  I’m grateful for that.  On days I don’t have them, I have taken a second job waiting tables.  It just isn’t enough, and there isn’t enough hours in the day for a third job.  I have Googled until my fingers bled for ideas to make extra cash, no luck.

In a nutshell, I owe $80,000 in student loans, and about $50,000 in private loans that were taken out to convert credit card debt into lower interest loans.  The problem is my monthly budget took an enormous hit after the divorce.  I never budgeted for that kind of catastrophe.  For the last 20 months, I have more money going out than coming in.  I don’t make enough money to cover my bills and living expenses.  I’m actually considering not renewing my apartment lease next year.  Like, I am considering being homeless in 2020.  There are obvious problems with that, visitation with my kids will be difficult if I’m homeless, stress of not having a home, etc.  But also, I have a high security clearance at my job.  People lose their security clearances all the time due to financial reasons, it’s the number one reason they lose them.  Voluntarily becoming homeless might be shooting myself in the foot in that aspect.

I never thought I’d consider being homeless, or not have necessities for myself, but it’s my reality.  I’ve never asked for help.  Ever.  From anyone.  I’ve only cried in public once, and that was when my Grandmother died two years ago.  But, I’m at my wit’s end.  I’m asking for help.  I have accepted I my poor decision making skills when it comes to who I married, and that I’ll always have to work 2, or 3 jobs for the rest of my life.  I’m ok with that, I’ve learned from it.  It’s not enough right now.  If I can get some of this debt paid off, it will ease my monthly budget enough so I can get in front of this debt and maybe, just maybe, not drown.  Thanks in advance.

Hello,
My name is James David, I am 22 years of age living in Indiana and I would like to ask a favor of anyone willing to read my story. First however, I would like to tell you a story about my life. when i was but a lad the age of 7 my foot was run over by a lawnmower cutting my foot off. I spent months in hospitals getting surgery after surgery to attach my severed foot. When I was 8 I was finally able to go home and resume activity and at this point in my life i would spend the next 10 years leading a highly active very happy lifestyle. I played many years of baseball, taught myself over 20 instruments, went through many years of boy scouts, and even in younger days of highschool spent summers playing saxophone in notre dame college band. I was very happy as a teenager… until disaster struck. at the age of 16 doctors realized that a fracture had been missed in my right Talus (ankle bone) that had led to a lack of blood supply over the years eventually leading to Avascular necrosis(death and disintegration of bone) of my Talus and the arthritis of an 80-year-old man in the front half of my foot. With this news came only a few options; I could wait until the bone broke completely and lose my leg, I could undergo surgery to have either hardware put in or my ankle fused which would lead to many more surgeries and the eventual lose of my leg within a decade, i could simply have my leg amputated now, or i could travel to north carolina to have a surgery to replace the dead bone with a cadaver which would eventually heal and allow me to keep my leg for a indeterminable amount of years, possibly my whole life. I decided to go with the save the leg option and after a period of a year and half of waiting and traveling to north carolina 3 times for minor surgeries to clean up my ankle i finally received the call that they had gotten the bone for the surgery. I rushed down there one last time to have this surgery and here is how it went. They cut my ankle open pulled all my muscles and tendons back dislocated my ankle and begun drilling holes to perforate the bone for cutting. half way through the cutting process they opened the donor box (for the first time) and realized they had the bone for the wrong leg. They panicked, closed me up left my ankle dislocated and sent me home immediately. Over the course of the next year there was no doctor that would see me do to the dread of the thought of having their names on any kind of lawsuit so the screwed up surgery led to the death of the bottom 3 inches of my Tibia. I was now faced with 2 options: Fusion or amputation. And since i would’ve rather gotten it out of the way then when i had no life as opposed to ten years in the future i decided to go ahead and get the amputation. Sitting in the hospital bed at the age of 18 i said my goodbyes to my beautifully scarred right foot and went under the knife for when I woke my life would be forever changed. I did the research, i knew everything that could go wrong and i knew everything that couldn’t possibly go wrong, doctors called me the google kid because i was very proactive when it came to my knowledge of what was being done to me. they didn’t have to tell me anything. I woke up from that surgery and was greeted with smiles and the words everything went well, They sent me home the next day to lay on my couch and heal. I spent the next couple days in very severe pain with my nurse mother giving me every pain med in the book unknowing that i had already developed a condition called RSD caused by being subjected to too many hospital drugs. and basically what it is, is a built up tolerance to medications that doesn’t go away meaning meds would no longer work on me. I was in terrible pain and ended up back in the hospital receiving doses of ketamine (horse tranquilizer) which ultimately destroyed my mind, it never worked the same again once i woke up. I spent the next month waiting for my amputation to heal weekly traveling 3 hours away to see my surgeon because my limb would not heal nor would it stop draining a strange smelly brown fluid. The doctor believed it was just a hematoma (deposit of old blood) and insisted it would be gone within a week. I went through a month of this before they finally decided to open it and clean it themselves which is when they realized that i had done the impossible. i had survived a month, not with a hematoma which would be easy and should go away on its own, but with severe Rhabdomylosis. Rhabdomylosis is where your muscles start to die and break down into fluid which then absorb into your blood stream and shut down your organs. History shows that none survive more than a week of untreated Rhabdo, But i had done it. I then ended up having two more revisions of my amputation to shorten it and clean away all the dead muscle. Once it was all said and done i had a limb left over that although i can walk with a prosthetic leg it is very very painful due to the fact that my limb has no muscle. After these 2 revisions i ended up spending a month in a hospital in Laporte Indiana with severe chronic organ failure, rashes all over my skin, and a heart rate that would drop so low when i slept i would be shooken awake every night with paddles on standby to see if i was still alive because their monitors could no longer read my heart beat. I was dying and I knew it. I said my goodbyes and all there was to do was wait. A month later i emerged from that hospital hardly healthy obtained my first leg, and decided to pursue my dreams of going to college to become a musical therapist. helping kids and elderly learn instruments as a way to deal with their pains. (distraction therapy) i enrolled at IUSB taking 20 credit hours 4-5 classes a day 7 days a week and moved away from home. over the course of the next few months i become very sick and eventually realized i would not be able to continue college due to spending every night and day with my head in the toilet some days barely able to stand on my own 2 feet. i left college and returned to the doctors to discover that the Rhabdomylosis or the meds or a mixture of both had given me MS (Multiple sclerosis) and that i would need to start medication immediately. ever since ive spent my days disabled sickly and living in the 9×10 bedroom that i grew up in in my parents house. Ive spent the last 5 years attempting to get disability while constantly getting denied because the governments medical professionals believe i could work on roofing houses all day without a harness and that im not disabled. I spend every day living the life of a highly disabled person and needless to say im sure you can understand i have a very large amount of debt accumulating.
Now for the reasons i am asking for money.
-I have a large amount of debt to pay off. (Medical debt, school debt)
-on 11/18/18 i was blessed with the birth of my beautiful baby boy and baby girl. A set of twins. And i am having a hard time making ends meet. I really wanna do everything i can to make sure these babies live the healthiest, safest, and best lives possible.
-I’m overwhelmed with appointments and my vehicle has broken down beyond repair. I am desperately in need of money for a new vehicle.
-I would like to save up money to build a house for me and my little family of 4 so that we can move out of the 9×10 room i grew up in.

So I am in desperate need of money and have finally been pushed to where i will ask anyone for help. I don’t necessarily have an end goal on how much money I’d like to raise but im estimating in the hundreds of thousands. Now i know that may be alot but if everyone pitches in just a small amount im sure you could all help me turn my life around for the better.
If you are a kind hearted caring individual with a drive to help others then please give my request some consideration. Any donation to my cause would be greatly appreciated.

Your friend,
James david

Hello,

I’m 24, I was terminated from my last job on 12/20/17. From what seems like because I’m gay. Says the co-workers and from complains from partnered companies. It may sound like I didn’t do my job and just coming with excuses. If you believe that, that is your choice. I worked hard. Though like others I had 1-3 sick days of the year and work the rest. Taking OT and more. I got spoken to about my “performance” because a partnered company said I wasn’t moving fast enough. Though everyone there knows the opposite. Since then the manager that spoke to me worked with me on jobs we had and he saw. However, shortly after let me go. Didn’t even do it himself nor have a reason. I’ve tried to find and speak with him to ask but still haven’t gotten an answer. It confuses me because he saw me work, even spoke to others about me. Though, still can’t give me an answer.

Since then I went on unemployment and called all cards (3) and student loans informing them lost my job that I was at for 8 months. I then went on their hard-times plans. However, the only one I didn’t realize wouldn’t do that is my auto loan.

Since then I got a job working part-time, as at the time couldn’t find Full-Time work. This is my 3rd job this year leaving the others because thinking, “Work for more pay = pay off debts faster” So far not working out do to taxes and interest rates and 2 cards being sent to collections. I’m currently over and they keep trying to say will take my car. I make a payment when I can. I’ve dropped out of school to try and get these bills in order. Though it’s taking longer then I expected.

Basically I’m just asking for a little help to get things caught up so I can get back into school for Graphic Design and finish my associates at Rasmussen then bachelors. I am not asking for anyone to like shower me just some help to get things to manageable and then back to school.

I am working full-time now but seems like nothing is going down. I know there are people that need more help then me! So only asking if you wish to. If you would like to help ( www.paypal.me/corbdrae )

Thank you in advance.

I have a long story to tell, but if you bear with me, I promise it’ll be worth the read. Thanks in advance for your time.

SOME BACKGROUND:

I am a pre-med student in the biological sciences currently on a leave of absence. I began my freshman year at my current institution in 2011. At the time, I had suffered from severe acid reflux for over a decade and taken high doses of proton pump inhibitors for the majority of that time. Despite the long term, high-dose medication, I still tended to aspirate stomach acid in my sleep, resulting in upper respiratory infections. Additionally, my esophagus was being damaged, making swallowing difficult. My DeMeester score, which is a pH score of the esophagus, was in the 60s, while a score just below 15 is the high end of normal. Between early 2010 and mid-2012, my body weight reduced to just over 100 pounds.

In mid-2013, I passed my first kidney stone. Long term use of the medication to treat my acid reflux altered the pH of my urine to 8 or 8.5. I formed lots of calcium phosphate stones and passed an average of one to two small (but very painful) ones every week throughout the second half of 2013 and all of 2014. In January 2015, I had a laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication, a surgical procedure to wrap the top third of my stomach around my lower esophagus, to stop the acid reflux. The goal was to back off of the proton pump inhibitors and reduce the kidney stone formation. So, the surgery would kill two birds with one stone; no pun intended.

I’ve never had acid reflux again since the morning of my surgery, but over the past few years, I’ve struggled with a surgical complication called Dumping Syndrome. What happens is the altered anatomy of the stomach allows food to dump into the small intestine too early. This causes a rapid rise in blood glucose, followed by an overcorrection that plummets the glucose level. Just like when you add too much salt to soup and have to dilute it with water, the blood stream releases water into the gut to dilute the food chemistry it wasn’t quite ready for. This release of water leads to low blood pressure, abdominal distention, severe nausea, and diarrhea. I’ve even had chest pain and EKG changes that was likely caused by small coronary blood vessels spasming during glucose spikes. Once insulin from the pancreas overcorrects high blood glucose, the low levels lead to shakiness, muscle fasciculations, lightheadedness, and a rapid heart rate. As you can probably imagine, both phases of Dumping Syndrome are quite debilitating, to say the least. My education and livelihood have taken a toll over the years.

I’ve significantly improved in physical health over time. In May 2018, I had an obstructing kidney stone (some existing stones likely clumped together), and when the urologist removed it using a scope, he completely cleaned me out. Thank goodness! Now I’m reflux- AND stone-free! I’ve also overcome malnourishment and am now in the upper mid-range of my body mass index. However, I still struggle with the later phase of Dumping Syndrome that results in low blood glucose levels. I’ve tried one medication that is usually prescribed to people with Diabetes, but it worsened diarrhea and made it harder to stay hydrated; that’s something I can’t afford with a history of kidney stones. I currently have Medicaid, but without insurance, the medication is just under $80. I need a different medication that will be injected once a month, and without insurance, it’s just under $3,000. I know I can’t stay on Medicaid forever since I’m improving and hoping to work again soon. So, I’m being proactive and preparing for a prescription coverage battle with a private insurer. Interestingly enough, despite my swings in blood glucose levels, a standard A1C blood test will not capture the abnormalities and trends. So, my primary care physician and I are ordering a continuous blood glucose monitor to track and document the changes in real time over one to two weeks.

In the coming weeks, I will have the necessary data from the continuous glucose monitor to demonstrate the necessity of the high-cost injections I am seeking. Then when the time comes to dis-enroll from Medicaid and enroll in a private insurance plan, I’ll be able to file the pre-authorization paperwork and fight any opposition to get coverage for my prescription. Meanwhile, I am facing my new reality of still being an undergraduate student after several disruptions to my education timeline. I’ve often had to reduce my course loads and sometimes take time off. As you can probably imagine, everything I went through — whether or not in school — made working impossible. I resigned from my last real job of being an ER Tech in late 2013 in the midst of the kidney stone issue. Can you imagine how many times I would have had to call in or go home early over the years with either the recurrent kidney stones or the Dumping Syndrome? In the past, I’ve relied on residual financial aid from school for living expenses. Now I feel ready to get back to work, but I also need to balance that with a rigorous science curriculum in college so I can graduate and move forward.

CURRENT CHALLENGES:

As I mentioned above, I’ve significantly improved in physical health over time, but I’m not out of the woods yet. I’ve feared that a job will push me over the threshold of maximum income requirements for Medicaid, which is why I’m first being proactive to ensure successful preauthorization of prescription coverage from a private insurer. I am actively seeking work (more on that later), but I am drowning in student debt and facing some real-time financial challenges as I endeavor to get back on my feet. For example, I’ve been couch-surfing for an extended period of time because I need a guarantor to get an apartment, and I don’t have one that can feasibly help me out. Additionally, while I am willing to work, I don’t want to tip the scales and make my grades suffer. Once I get back into the swing of things with school, I can combine part-time work with eventual residual financial aid, and I’ll opt in for the student health insurance plan, which is provided by a private insurer. So, the question is, “How do I cover immediate expenses and afford myself the opportunity to move forward with my education?”

My first challenge will be to cover an entire one-year lease up front to waive the guarantor form. My second challenge will be to re-insure and re-register my vehicle so that a lien is not placed on it. My state requires continuous insurance coverage and charges a property tax on vehicles. My third challenge will be to have enough of a buffer to get me through a term of school to re-establish the financial aid amounts I once had. There will be other challenges ahead, but I am confident I will be able to work and earn what I need — beyond help on here — to maintain sustenance. My student debt is a lesser priority at this time since my loans are deferred, but I would appreciate any generous help to alleviate the financial burden.

MY PLAN MOVING FORWARD:

In the coming weeks, I will do everything I can to ensure that I have a job. I’m looking into multiple options, but I have my sights set on an overnight position at a privately owned guest house used as an overflow by patients and their loved ones when Ronald McDonald House and Hope Lodge are full. I feel I will be able to earn a decent wage for the work I’ll be doing, as well as find time to study and complete homework when it’s quiet. Next, I will seek out scholarships that I have never tapped into before, including first generation awards since I will be the first in my family to graduate college, non-traditional awards since my delays have me trying to complete a degree at a slightly later age, and awards for obstacles overcome, to name just a few. It is also my goal to prepare and apply for an MD/PhD (physician-scientist) program, and while my reasons for doing so are motivated by genuine passion and research/career interests, I will be fortunate enough to have tuition waived and earn a living stipend of $25,000 per year throughout an MD/PhD program. My financial plan is to use approximately half of my monthly stipend to pay living expenses and the other half to pay on the principal balance of debt that I will first consolidate and refinance at a lower interest rate. So, beyond coverage through your generous donation, I will use the above strategies to get things done.

Finally, my career interests combine the practice of medicine with pharmaceutical sciences. I hope to engage in drug discovery so that we can combat debilitating diseases & conditions that plague societies. A research project that I hope to launch in the near future while I’m still an undergraduate student will focus on five characteristics that cancers have in common. My work will emphasize the importance of repurposing already FDA-approved drugs so we can fast-track our progress, while discovering and developing new therapies with fewer side effects. By testing on blood and tumor tissue/fluid samples from cancer patients, as well as blood samples from healthy participants for laboratory controls and cellular safety checks, the goal is to develop combination therapeutics that will multi-target malignancies by focusing on all five shared characteristics simultaneously. Then if promising, we can use this approach to turn our attention to autoimmune diseases & disorders and many other ailments in which we have yet to make significant progress.

YOUR SUPPORT MEANS SO MUCH:

In summary, I am a non-traditional, aspiring physician-scientist who has had health and financial setbacks. I have a comprehensive plan to get back on my feet, but I know there are immediate and long term financial challenges ahead. As a previous ER Tech whose also endured chronic ailments, I know what it’s like to be on both sides of the bed rails. My experiences have helped me to develop more empathy and refine my goals in ways that will give back to communities and the health professions. I know that we must aggressively combat debilitating diseases & conditions because I understand the educational, financial, and social tolls they can take on people. As someone who has struggled in all of those areas, I want to do my part to reverse the trends because a healthier society can have a more robust economy. I have an evidence-based vision to help us get there, and I can sure use your help through generous donations that can alleviate my financial burdens and help me turn my attention to the work ahead, both personally and on behalf of others. I hope I have earned your support, and if I am fortunate enough to use that to turn my situation around, I pledge to do everything I can to help turn things around for countless lives. Thank you so much for your consideration and may God Bless You!

In recent months I have become overwhelmed with debt and expenses, but currently do not have the income to satisfy debtors. 5 years ago I underwent a surgery to successfully remove a benign tumor, known as an acoustic neuroma or vestibular schwanoma. The surgery however did cause a lot of issues with every day life, as I had suffered a stroke during this surgery. I spent three months of rehabilitation to learn to walk again, and was thankfully able to return to work. I struggle with balance issues, I’m completely deaf in my left ear as a result of the surgery as well. In the past five years I had continued to work for the same company; learning to adapt despite being a bit slower compared to previously. The stress mounted from being less able to perform my job at a high level, so I took some time off. After some time off, I resigned from my job as I now am a caregiver for a disabled veteran and that has primarily been my job as of late. I desperately want to seek another type of employment, but my wallet was stolen a few months ago. So once my wallet was stolen I no longer had my social security card or driver’s license. Now as time has gone on I have managed to squeak by and make it. But I am at a point where my bank account is overdrafted. So last week I attempted to make a withdrawal, but it did not go through. However; the money is showing that it was withdrawn, so I am in the process of sorting this out with my financial institution. I really hated to resort to something like this, but I’m not sure what to do. I really want to continue my life. I need a lot of dental work done as this strongly affects my confidence. I have excellent dental hygiene but have not had a way to afford the surgery needed to completely fix my teeth. I also would like to try to go back to some sort of physical therapy in order to regain my balance. If I could just have some sort of kick start to get my life back on track I would really like to prove that I can overcome the challenges I am faced with and be a productive person. I have no money to eat and the longer I struggle the shorter my lifelines become. Any help or understanding would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there, my name is Kathleen. For a little over 2 years, I have been without a car. Partially due to my own poor financial planning and partially due to manipulation by an exboyfriend. I was young and naive, thinking he would leave or hurt me if I didn’t give him money for his own financial problems or for the things he desired. My car was repossessed in July of 2016 and I couldn’t come up with the $1800 at the time to get it back. While attempting to pay back my repossession, my drivers license expired and I had no means of being able to renew without a car or the lack of funds to pay off fines. I unfortunately accumulated a lot of tollway fines that I constantly forgot about it.

After finally growing up and leaving him last year, I lost my job within weeks. I was unable to find another job for about 4 months and had gone through the money I had saved towards paying my debt off. I wasn’t able to continue my paying my phone bill, and my phone was shut off. They charged me for the full amount of my phone I had only been paying off for 6 months which was $1400. I haven’t even been able to pay that back and have been using my phone on wifi only for the last year now.

It has been nearly impossible now to save money, as I am using uber or lyft to and from to get everywhere. I have a job bartending during the day, half the time I barely make enough money in a day to balance out spending $20 a day getting there and back or to even pay my rent. On rideshares alone this year, I have spent over $2000. I have a weekend job of DJing and I have to pay a friend to take me there and back every show with all the equipment anywhere from $20-$50 depending on the distance.

The worst part about all of this is the numbing depression I feel over it. I genuinely feel helpless, as if I’m stranded all the time. I have to rely on strangers to do a simple thing like go to work, I can never leave a place when I want to, I can’t even go to the grocery store and do actual shopping unless a friend will take me.

I’m looking for just any help at all to help pull me at of this hole I’ve allowed to happen. Overall my debt accumulates to about $5000. With a little help, I’d be able to get on my feet again and become selfsuffcient again and stay that way. With a vehicle, I’d not only be saving money weekly on getting to and from work, but I’d also be able to get a job in my offtime. With that extra income, I’d be able to save enough to get my own apartment instead of renting a room somewhere like I am now. Thank you to anyone who reads this or donates.

I have never attempted anything like this. So here it goes.

I have just moved across the country with my fiance. We left Texas and moved North in June. My fiance and I both have jobs and are renting an apartment. We have too much debt like many people in their 20’s. We are now back on track to repairing our credit and paying off over $100,000 of student loans. That all seems pretty normal right?

Let me give you some background on my fiance’s family. Her father was a dentist and lost his practice and house because of a drug addiction. Her sister Debbie, has had mental issues over her life and has been living with her father with her 9 year old daughter in a motel. Her sister, while trying over and over to provide a good life for her daughter, had a mental breakdown and hasn’t been heard from since. She left her daughter with her father in a motel and while there are other family members nearby, I personally do not believe such a sweet 9 year old girl should be forced to live in a motel because she has nowhere else to go.

Even if Debbie comes backs, I want to make little Chelsea’s life better than it is. I am engaged to her aunt and we have tried to help in the past. Now we have received the “okay” from the rest of the family to have her live with us. I am all on board and so is my fiance but we just can’t afford it.

I’m writing to ask for help with paying for a new dependent in my home. Please help me move Chelsea up to Minnesota and help with anything you can spare to hep me give her a real home and a real Christmas…

…Maybe for the first time she can remember

My name is Brian and I live in California, with custody of my three children ages 8, 4 and 3. My kids were placed in my physical custody after their mother attempted to commit suicide, with the kids in the home by hanging herself in the restroom. Prior to all this happening I was financially stable, with a good credit score and a stable job. However, my financial situation start to get worst due to me having to cover all the cost of food, clothes, utilities etc. I had to take out loans and use credit cards in order to cover cost, but this resulted in me getting behind even further and not being able to keep up with my bills. I literally owe $30,000 dollars in debt more than what I make, and this includes interest charges on top of the actual amount owed. On top of this, my kids mother took my cards and charged them up and admitted this later on to her sister, who told me this information in confidence. I had to sell many items I purchased for myself and kids in order to stay afloat. I got really depressed and stressed out and contracted the shingles. I live with my mother now with three kids, and can’t qualify for any government assistance because I have a job with a full time position, but unable to get my bills stable. I know many individuals have struggles that are more severe than mine, but I need some help in order to at least have a stable life. I’m not trying to scam or catfish anyone and if asked for my financial documents I will send, email, text, photo them to you with no hesitation. I have nothing to hide just the honest truth. I struggle on a day to day basis, just to figure out who is going to watch my kids while I work. I can’t focus on anything at the moment, only my kids and missed many days of work, just to make sure my kids are properly taken care of. When my kids mother attempted to commit suicide that shook my world. She had been depressed for a while and I tried to get help for her on many occasions with no help! No help! I called the suicide prevention hotline and the local police station, and even the pet team and no one helped me until it was too late! I don’t like to ask for money, I can quit my job and get government assistance, but I feel like I would be failing my kids and my self. Even with Christmas approaching I’m not sure how I will get any gifts for them this year. My son who is 8 don’t understand how money works and always says daddy you can go to the bank and take money out. I have to say to him son it don’t with that way. I never knew having theee kids solely with me would be this hard, and not really getting support and still have to pay rent, gas, etc. Anyone who can help me I truly appreciate your help. Thank you.
