Dearest friends, family, and kind strangers,

I’m reaching out with a heavy heart to ask for some financial support during an incredibly challenging time. Since losing my beloved partner during the coronavirus pandemic, I’ve been navigating life alone, and recently, my financial situation has become overwhelming.

I’m facing an $9,000 PG&E bill that I desperately need to pay to turn power back on . It has been off for almost 2 months. Additionally, my car, which is essential for getting around, hasn’t been registered since 2020 due to the pandemic’s hardships, and the insurance and registration fees total around $2,500. Not having a registered vehicle limits my ability to seek work and manage daily life.

Losing my partner left a void that’s impossible to fill, and now, facing these financial burdens on my own feels incredibly isolating. I’ve been trying my best to manage, but the weight of these expenses has become too much to bear alone.

If you are in a position to help in any way, no matter how small, I would be eternally grateful. Your kindness and generosity would mean the world to me and would provide a lifeline as I try to get back on my feet.

If you’re unable to contribute financially, please consider sharing this post. You never know who might be touched by my story and willing to offer assistance.

I’m also looking into local resources for assistance and will continue to explore those avenues. If you know of any programs in the Santa Rosa area that might be able to help with utility bills or car expenses, please feel free to share that information with me privately.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to read this. Your support, in any form, will be deeply appreciated.

With sincere gratitude,

Cindie Knight

I realize a lot of people need help more than I do. Small things will make big changes in their lives. What I am asking for is huge and likely too much for anyone to be able to give. But I’ll post it anyway. Instead of money, maybe someone will have some ideas for me.

I’ve been and done a lot of things in my life.

Youngest mechanic Pacific Airlines ever hired (at 18)
Served in the Navy on a flight crew in Viet Nam
Flew UAVs in Afghanistan 2006-2007 supporting our troops

Started businesses:
Mantra Studios in the 70s where Windham Hill Records started
Generator Wizards and CD Wizard in Hawaii in the 80s
TechShop RDU in 2008)

Had jobs (too many to list)
Got married had kids.
All the usual stuff and some not so usual.
Right now I’m delivering packages for the USPS.

I turned 80 in January (Eighty!!!) but am in pretty good shape for my age and my goal is to go another 25 years. My wife, however, is having some problems. But that’s not why I’m writing. Well, okay partly it is.

Retirement is not about age, it’s about money. And while I did well with many of my jobs and businesses, I did poorly at preparing for the future.

I had it all figured out with Bitcoin and actually had over 3 Bitcoin back in 2017, but I borrowed against it to fund some business ideas. This would have been great, but I put it all up as collateral and when the price tanked in 2018 I was unable to add more collateral and they sold off a bunch of it to cover the loan. Then when FTX went down, it took Cryptopia with it and I was only able to retrieve about $1500 or so. The rest, gone.

So then I found a company that would help me get 0% interest credit cards, but more importantly, supply me with some awesome business ideas. Getting the cards went flawlessly. However, all the business ideas did not. So I wound up with over $60,000 in credit card debt and no income from it. My over 800 credit score went into the 500s. Another idea from them went like this. They would help me get a car loan and they would buy an exotic car that would be rented out and provide me with monthly income. $75,000 car loan approved… sent the check off to receive…no car, no income. Been fighting them for over a year now. So I’m looking at over $100,000 of debt right now and no way to pay it off.

I have learned how, through trial and error, exactly how to be able to retire off of Bitcoin. Problem is I don’t have enough. Another .4 BTC (just over $40,000) would allow me to retire in about 5 years. But I would like to be able to spend more time with my wife now and not have to work so much. In order to do that now, I would need about another 4 full BTC ($400,000). I would love to be able to borrow that amount, buy the Bitcoin and pay it all back.  But of course, to borrow, you need to not need it.  In other words, you need to have enough already to pay it back.  And by the way, I would also love to help anyone set this up for themselves. Learn from my mistakes and do it right. It will work. Period.

This leads me to the question, “Why would anyone want to give me that much help anyway?” I come from a generation that always believed that you take care of yourself. You don’t ask anyone for anything. But I found this site and figure it won’t hurt to ask.

More importantly, I would also be highly interested in any venture that does not cost up front big money, but will provide some residual income. I’d actually RATHER get that kind of help, but will certainly accept any help offered at this point.

Here’s a BTC only address if anyone wants to send me something this way:

Hi everyone, my name is Nyah. I am currently a student at Los Angeles Harbor College. I live on my own with no financial assistance from family. Los Angeles Harbor College has a lot of programs that help students in my situation. I was able to go to school for free with the supplies that I needed, which is a blessing. I am currently on that program until August, then I got an opportunity to transfer to a 4-year school in New Hampshire with an athletic scholarship and an academic scholarship. I played on the women’s basketball team and averaged a double-double every game. I was ranked #2 in the state. With this type of performance, I got a lot of exposure to different colleges. As a hard worker who takes pride in their skill and in the classroom, not only was I a good player, I earned a 3.5 GPA my first semester here. My second semester I earned a 4.0 GPA. I am currently in classes now with the same goal to earn a 4.0.  I am doing DoorDash and Uber to make some extra money; however, it is not enough to cover my traveling expenses to the school in New Hampshire or my car repair. I tried hard to get a job out here; however, they always ask me if I am continuing to further my education, and since I’m transferring from the school and going to a whole different state, a lot of jobs don’t want to hire me. Mainly because of my plans to further my education. I am hoping to touch someone’s heart with them understanding that I am really passionate about my career. I am currently majoring in Business Administration with the Accounting concentration. My dream is to become a bank investor and to open a school that teaches young adults how to handle their finances. I am hoping someone sees my story and understands the predicament I am in with moving within a month to further my education. This will be my last month in the hotel room (since I can’t afford it), I’m staying in, and then I plan on living in my car for the remainder of the month. I have what I need to finish my classes. I just need assistance to fix my car and prepare to drive to this school. Thanks for your help during this rough transition. My PayPal is @NyahBelton.

I’m Jennifer, 57, I just pushed 34 yrs of abusive ‘marig” out of my home. Me & my siblings were violently abused by a criminal in 1981,he died before court, so no justice or resolution, just move on, forget… it’s affected all of us throughout our lives.. But, I finally stood my ground, despite FEAR. But, in doing so I’m left with a 2 month financial burden of $967.00 and no vehicle. I’m still recovering from injuries(proof of broken bones) but my faith in humanity is not lost . I don’t need much out of life for security brings that. But, as of now, I’ scared how I’m going to pull out of the past and next month(JULY2025)and land with enough foundation to carry on, I am educated, college, etc. but that was all stifled. I hate it. If I could just get upon my on 2 feet, I’d be able to hit the ground running from there, and set an example, not a pattern, for my children, and I hope to reach out to others in my situation in the future, if possible. Especially, to the long term suffers of domestic violence. But for now, I’m in a serious bind, and I have no family of my own to turn to, otherwise I wouldn’t be here now praying someone takes the time to read this and feel the sincerity of what I’m trying to say, Despite, I’ve kept mydelf up, except I need new teeth, for mine were destroyed….just when I had a reason to smile! Yeah, that sucks too. Just putting these words in righting, has helped me immensely. So, I’m grateful for that. I’m humbled to say the least to have an opportunity to reach out and be heard, it’s a release and a relief. I am somewhat embarrassed, that I let my life get to this point. But if you know FEAR, then you understand it’s power. But you got to take YOUR power back! Because your real, FEAR is nothing but a tool. again, I just need someone to care enough, and believe enough, that I am worth saving, I’m not unaware of my capabilities, and still have time to be a success story, for myself, my kids, grandkids, and possibly, someone else. I’m also Funny as a MOFO!!! just say’n. laughter..I love making people laugh!!! ps. You need proof of my plight? You got it…I’m the real deal…no scamm’n here! want pics? ask. God Bless any readers…Jennifer Troutman. Texas.

I’m a 28 year old male and am paying for shortsighted decisions I’ve made. I’ve got two maxed out credit cards and two loans taken out to cover rent, totaling to about $10,100 (one $5,000 loan, one $3,000 loan, one credit card maxed at a $2000 limit, and another maxed at $500, total balance on both is $2,212 and $565). I’ve sought out a plan on National Debt Relief only to discover that since my $5,000 dollar loan is a secured loan, they’re unable to qualify me for a plan. Further complicating matters is that I’ve used payday apps, Earnin, Empower, Brigit, Grant and Klover specifically to cover rent and now after all is said and done my bank account is currently sitting at -$400.

When I got home today I received a call from the second loan company, informing me that my account has been delinquent for 90 days. I’d thought that it was on autopay but unfortunately that was not the case. I need to come up with $500 to give them by Friday, June 20th or they will begin to garnish my paychecks by 20%.

Due to my negative balance I’ve also been unable to pay for my car insurance for this month, the bill for that is $254.44. I really at this point do not know what to do, I’m not asking to have my loans completely paid off, I’m just asking for kindness and any help that anyone is willing to give

Thank you for taking the time to read this

Dear reader,

I am a 48 year old female that works full time and takes care of my aging father. I can usually figure out a solution to any problem but I am at a loss here. On March 2 of this year, we unexpectedly lost my mom who was not only my rock but my best friend…This situation has placed a significant strain on my finances and emotional well-being. My dad is not only devastated he is feeling lost and vulnerable, and giving him a stable home environment is essential for his healing process. I want to provide him with a safe and comfortable space where he can feel secure and supported during this difficult time.

Additionally, my niece has worked so hard throughout her college years, and she deserves every opportunity to kickstart her career. A reliable vehicle would not only help her commute to job interviews but also enable her to pursue opportunities that can lead to a brighter future. I see her potential, and I want to help her realize her dreams without the burden of transportation issues.

As for my situation, the long commute has taken a toll on my energy and productivity, and I find myself constantly worried about the reliability of my current vehicle. I need a car that can withstand the daily grind while also being economical and environmentally friendly. A hybrid or a fuel-efficient vehicle would significantly reduce my expenses and help me focus on my work and family rather than worrying about breakdowns or high gas prices.

I am reaching out for assistance to help bridge these gaps. Your support could make a world of difference, not just for my father and niece, but for me as well. Together, we can create a stable, nurturing environment for my family during this challenging time, and ensure we are all moving forward towards a brighter future. Thank you for considering this plea; your generosity could truly change our lives.

Thank you for your time and God bless.

Hello,

My name is Levi M. Moore III. I am requesting $3500.00 to help cover the cost for attorney’s fees and legal fees for probate court. My father passed away in October 2023, and my mother passed away in June 2024. Both of my parents lived in Savannah, Georgia, and I live in Los Gatos California. I’ve been trying to locate my father’s life insurance policy information since he passed away, but I haven’t been able to locate it. Six months before my dad passed away he told me the policy is in a safe deposit box at his bank. Since my parents didn’t have a will or a living trust, I will have to go to probate court to file for executorship of their estate. I’ve been struggling financially since my father passed away because my mother was hospitalized a week after my dad passed, and I took an additional 2 weeks off from my job without pay to take care of her, in addition to spending extra money for  food and groceries and other expenses that I wasn’t prepared to spend money on. I am also currently paying off the $5000 I borrowed from my credit union to travel back to Savannah Georgia from California when my father passed away. Having to take an additional 2 weeks off from work without pay created a financial hardship for me and has caused me to fall behind on some of my bills, which is why I am requesting assistance to help with my legal fees for probate court. After I pay all of my monthly bills and living expenses, I do not currently have the financial resources to pay the legal fees for probate court. Please consider my request for financial assistance regarding this matter. Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Best Regards,

My name is Desiree Alayna Cruder, and I’m reaching out to you in a moment of great need. For the past three years, I’ve been fighting a legal battle that has tested my strength in ways I never imagined. With my trial date just around the corner on June 23rd, I find myself facing the real possibility of a 10-year, 8-month sentence for a crime I didn’t commit.

This situation has been incredibly challenging, not only because of the legal pressure but also because I’ve spent so much of my youth dealing with the consequences of past mistakes. But over the years, I’ve worked hard to change. I’ve earned two college degrees, and I’ve completely turned my life around. I’m proud of the progress I’ve made, and I truly believe that everyone deserves a second chance.

Now, I’m fighting to protect the future I’ve worked so hard to build. I need legal representation, but I’m struggling to come up with the funds on my own. After speaking with an attorney, I learned that because my trial is so soon, he would not be able to take on any other clients but me. He was very firm about his price for representing me, which is $35,000. This is a figure I simply cannot meet on my own.

My family—especially my mother—depends on me, and the fear of losing everything I’ve fought for is overwhelming. That’s why I’m turning to you. I’m humbly asking for your support. If you can contribute, it would make an immense difference in helping me secure the legal defense I desperately need. Your generosity would not only give me a chance at proving my innocence but also help me continue to stay on the path I’ve worked so hard to create.

If you’re able to assist, please know that you can make a contribution through my PayPal account at paypal.me/DesireeCruder.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my message. I understand there are many causes that need attention, but I truly hope you might consider helping me in this critical time. Your support would mean more than I can put into words.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions or need further details. I appreciate your time, and I’m incredibly grateful for any assistance you’re able to provide.

Warm regards,

Desiree Alayna Cruder

Hi! I am a young teacher and I have made some poor financial choices and feel like I am drowning in debt… every month I am over drawing my account just trying to pay my bills! My biggest mistake was getting scammed into taking out loans with crazy percent rates. At the time I didn’t realize and I just needed the money and now I have loans with a 400% interest rate and I’m trying to throw all my money at it but I just can’t keep afloat! On top of all that I e had so many dental problems I spent over 9k out of pocket in my mouth. Then my dog got attacked and that was another 1800 for his surgery. Sometimes it just feels like the hits keep coming. With what little money I have half the time it’s spent on my classroom trying to help the kids be successful. Anything will help.
