Single mom of 5 kids baited by pedophile

Hi. I’m sorry to ask for help this way, however everywhere I have turned has been a dead end, mostly due to covid, so many good folks need help,  but I’m not sure what else to do so this is my last hope. 5 years ago, my 5 kids and me was offered an opportunity by a good friend of many years, of home ownership. She got engaged and was moving to Texas, but didn’t want to leave us behind. We lived in Iowa. He purchased a large area of land with 2 homes, 1 for them the other for us. As long as I paid my own bills and helped upkeep the land the home was mine to do as we pleased. So we agreed, and was excited about starting a new life. Everything started great. It was lonely cause we have no family or friends near, but we was happy. My kids did great in their new schools, within the first 3 months I became a CNA. After hurricane Harvey, my friends husband changed. He started demanding rent, and would not fix anything. I paid him, not what he wanted but I was also fixing everything. My work hours started getting longer trying to keep up. I worked 2pm-6am almost everyday. This went on until January 2020. February is when things really got horrible. And I apologize for leaving a lot of details out, but everything that happened is alot so I’m trying to speak on the main parts which choosing which main parts to speak on has been a nightmare in itself. February I found out that my friends 16 year old son was holding my daughter’s down, and molesting them. And it gets worse. Literally the next day, I find out that my friends husband has been molesting my son’s and 1 of their friends, but also raping 1 of my son’s repeatedly over a course of 2 years. I can’t begin to describe what I felt, and I couldn’t imagine how they felt. We reported right away. We had a appointment with investigators and CPS a week in a half out, which was in march. Which was when covid started hitting as well and that didn’t help at all. I had to find a place to live, I had no vehicle. I sent my kids to stay with their friend, me as well. We ended up losing everything we had. Come to find out, this man had been to prison years before due to the same issue. And was a registered offender, which I never knew that.  July of 2020, my oldest son turned 16, found a job and helped me get us a place. Crime victims comp provided little help which I am grateful for everything they did, but we lost so much more, and borrowing left me in debts I’m still trying to take care of. I am limited income due to health issues, I have a dehabilitating disability that left me with extreme nerve damage thru my body, and more recently adding failing kidneys to the list. My recent gfr was 53. But the past few months after multiple surgeries I’m doing better. However, I can’t keep up with anything. Last month our electric was shut off for a week. My truck ( our only transportation) needs work badly, as of right now we are using shampoo for soap cause that’s all we got, haven’t had toilet paper. I’m struggling to provide basic necessities and it’s humiliating, now here’s Christmas and I have nothing for my kids who really deserve to have something. I mean they sacrifice so much because I can’t keep up right now and they understand, but it’s eating me. I’ve applied for places to help, but nothing has come thru. Everything I had of value which really wasn’t much, I sold. With that money I got things we really needed, laundry soap, my daughter some underwear, shower items, stuff like that. And now thanks to my alternator going out and taking my battery with it, I’m overdrafted. I don’t know what else to do. I’m defeated, or so it feels. I won’t post the case number  publicly due to that exploiting my kids, and also we have safety measurements in place from the attorney general, but if verification is needed I can provide proof of everything. And I absolutely appreciate you even if you just read this, it means a lot. If by chance anyone can help me my info is

Please help

Hello everyone, my name is Crystal and I created this account on behalf of my family to help raise funds for my brother Miguel. Today I ask for everyone to come together as family, as friends, as neighbors, as close as you can get to home for help.
In January of 2022, my brother had collapsed at home which was diagnosed as being anemic due to an internal ulcer bleed. However, this was not the case, Miguel was diagnosed with stage 3 stomach cancer. Needless to say, he had surgery in April 2022 & completed radiation, and chemotherapy treatments in July 2022 & went into remission. We were so thankful for these news. What we thought was a relief became our worst nightmare. Early November 2022, he started with shoulder pain. Upon new studies, we found the cancer had returned and metastasized throughout his entire body in his bones, unfortunately there is no surgery for this other than chemo to slow down the spreading, all we can do now is pray for a miracle to happen. As you may all know we are devastated with these new findings.
My brother is only 29 years old, he has a whole life ahead of him. He has a wife and four children ages 1, 2, 7 and 10. He is the only provider for the household, and we are trying to assist his family financially for treatments as they are facing chemotherapy and medical bills that will come along with their future fight. He will be out of work during this time, so we are worried about their family for food and shelter.
Our family never thought we would get news that no one should ever get as no one expects to go through these type of situations. We are praying and hoping he can beat Cancer once again. We all want to see him raise his kids and be happy with his little family. No one should have to go through this, but this time its our family and its a hard pill to swallow, he deserves the chance to live a little longer.
Please help us help him be strong and give him the support he needs. Help us raise money for him and his family. Anything helps, money adds up and will make a difference at the end of the day. Please share and keep us in your prayers. Thank you all so much.
A share can help more than you think! Please help us come together and make a difference for him!

Homeless and alone

Hi.  My name is Victoria Pickel.  I go by Vikki.  I just turned 51 last week.

My life got turned upside down in April of 2020.  I ended up in the hospital and not exactly sure what happened.  I lost alot of IQ points.  Things that used to be easy are very hard for me to figure out now.

My life history first.  I learned quick not to depend on anyone.  I started working at 15 while in high school.  My parents were divorced and had their own problems.  I lived with my dad and was definitely a “daddy’s girl”.  He was an alcoholic.  He suffered a bad stroke when I was very young and was unable to work.  He passed away 20 years ago and it still hurts.  My mom was an alcoholic, bipolar and had to have a man to take care of her.  Her boyfriend raped me when I was 12.  Mom blamed me and suggested I sleep with knife under my pillow to protect myself.  I did that until I was in my 30s.  My upbringing gave me low self esteem and I chose horrible men to be with.  My first husband hit me alot and made my self esteem much worse.  I stayed much longer than I should have because of my kids.  I eventually left him.  Several years later, I ended up with a worse husband than before.  He scammed me into marriage even though he had no feelings for me.  He was a convicted pedophile that had already served 10 years in prison.  He said he was wrongfully accused and I believed him.  Several years later, I was updating his phone and found disgusting videos.  I should have reported these videos and sent him back to prison.  Instead I deleted the videos and lied to myself.  You are welcome to look him up, Buddy Allen Pickel of Bristol, Tennessee.

Back to April of 2020.  I took alot of Benadryl.  I loved someone that was really mean to me.  I wanted to go to sleep and never wake up.  I woke up at the hospital.  I did die and CPR was performed for 36 minutes.  I think that’s what happened to my missing IQ points.  I had to quit my job.  I was night auditor at a hotel and couldn’t do my job anymore, especially dealing with the public or anyone in a uneasy situation.  It causes major panic attack, any confrontational situation does.  I had to let people be mean or take advantage because of this.  I applied for social security disability as I worked my entire life and had the credits required.  They sent me to 2 doctors.  The first one said I had no short term memory.  The 2nd doctor asked me to walk heel-to-toe for 5 steps.  He had to grab my arm to keep me from falling.  But I was still denied for disability.  I appealed and was denied again.  Not enough medical evidence.  I don’t have insurance or the money to go to the doctor.  I appealed and requested a hearing.  They will give me 75 day notice of my hearing.  I don’t understand the lengthy process of social security disability.  They know a person can’t work but they take their time.

I’m living in my car with my small dog.  Local shelters do not accept pets.  My dog is all I have.  I just can’t do this anymore.  I need to sleep in a bed and stretch out.  My legs have really been hurting alot.  I would give anything to take a shower and have a toliet nearby.  The weather is getting colder.  I don’t know how much more I can take.  My storage unit is past due and will be auctioned if I can’t pay soon.  Any money I get will pay that storage unit and will rent me and dog a home.  Hopefully will pay bills until I can be approved for social security.  I also make jewelry to sell but hard to do living in a car.

I’ve been having really sad thoughts lately and starting to worry about them.  I promised myself that I wouldn’t hurt myself again.  It’s so hard living like this.  I just want to feel like I’m a normal person and not scum of the earth.  I know what it’s like to have no one.  I known that for far too long.

Lost my Father to Covid

I am a forty year old man from Missouri. I’ll start my story in September of 2019.

I was nearing the end of a twenty tear battle with alcohol. The job that I had held for nine years was, for the first time, in jeopardy.  I was drinking my breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I drank alone and blacked out every night.  Somehow, in these times, which I have no recollection of, I reached out for help. I woke up one evening and checked my phone and I had called 911 five times. I don’t know how, but one of those calls for help was to my Brother who lives in Florida. He is a Police Officer in Florida. He is married with two boys ages 9 and 6. (6 and 3 in 2019). He dropped everything, took time off his job, and drove 13 hours to Missouri to bring me to Florida. We didn’t have a plan, all we knew is that I needed to get out of the situation I was in ( my grandparents basement) and get help.  I agreed, because for the first time in my life I felt like the alcohol was actually killing me.
I stayed with my Brother detoxing while he found me a treatment facility. He found a place 30 minutes away and I was off for 60 days of in patient treatment.  I was extremely nervous but I knew it was what I had to do to save my life. I finally, after countless attempts, decided that I was ready to accept help, and take responsibility for my actions.

My experience in treatment at the Road to Recovery facility in Pensacola, Florida was a perfect fit for me. I was put into an environment full of men from all different races and backgrounds. They showed that it’s never too late, and you’re never too far gone to get help, all you need is the desire to change your life.  Everything that I learned and went through in treatment is a whole story just by itself, but let me just say, that without the team, and other residents at Road to Recovery, I would not be alive today. I am deeply grateful for every single one of them.

I graduated from the program on December 17, 2019. 8 days later I receive a call from my Mother that my Uncle Eric, who was a mentally challenged 51 year old, was in the ICU on life support. He went in to the hospital for severe constipation, and ended up, somehow, have a pulmonary embolism. I flew out the next day, but his brain function was unable to be retrieved, and we held his hand for three days before he passed on. I guess he wanted to spend a little more time with us.

Then, as we all know, 2020 happened. I was in a new place, newly sober for the first time in my adult life. I handled everything well, except for the all important job thing. I did my share to help my Brother around the house and with the kids so I could at least contribute something.  Finally, in October, I found a job at a local bait and tackle shop.  It was perfect for me.  I have loved fishing ever since I saw my first puddle. A lot of people said I shouldn’t get a job because the government was paying people more in unemployment then if you actually had a job, but I couldn’t stand just sitting around the house anymore. So I happily took the job for $10/ hour and a 30% discount on everything in the store. I was like a kid in toys r us.

I was working there in the beginning of 2021 when I met a guy who owned a local kayak business. We became friends because I would buy fishing lures and pick his brain about saltwater fishing. After a few months he asked me if I would like to work with him. He would teach me the ins and outs and all of the secrets to saltwater kayak fishing in the Pensacola area. I cut my hours at the tackle shop and started working with him.  We fished and he taught me about his 3d printed aftermarket kayak parts. I helped in the parts business, but the best part was, after I went on countless trips with him and clients, I got to take over the charter side of the business. I got to take people kayak fishing! For money.  I thought that I had found my dream job, because I enjoyed every single moment of it.

Also in February of 2021 my grandmother lost her battle with Parkinson’s. In 2018 I lost my brother to a fentanyl overdose. I lost my other grandmother in 2020. I only mention all of this loss because I am proud of myself for staying sober throughout.

As mentioned above, everything was going great. I found an awesome job, and I finally felt like I belonged somewhere in the world. Christmas 2021 I was planning on visiting my parents back in Missouri. My Dad was sick, but I wasn’t worried. I just thought, “He’ll be fine in a few days.”  Well the day before my flight my Mom called and said that my Dad was having trouble breathing and they were going to go to the hospital. Once again, I wasn’t worried, to me my Dad was invincible, even against Covid. This all could be a lot longer but it’s really difficult to type out.

He kept moving up levels in the hospital, continually getting worse for the first week. He couldn’t eat ( zero appetite), couldn’t speak because of the massive amounts of oxygen that he needed from the masks he was wearing. He could only text. He was alone. The WHOLE time. Zero visitors allowed. My father, who I saw as the toughest man in the world, was sobbing and scared over video chat as his condition kept declining.  I couldn’t bare to talk to him over video because I couldn’t control my emotions. But yet, I still believed he would be okay. I was wrong, they eventually said that he has to be put on a ventilator, and we all know those statistics.  We had no choice so we agreed. We also knew that it was a possibility so we asked the hospital to let us know if that had to put him on a ventilator and they agreed to let my Mom see him before they put him under. They lied. He texted my Mom and told her they were going to vent him, not the hospital. So I drove 90 mph tot the hospital that’s an hour away so my Mother could hold my Father and look at him and tell him how much we all love him. They almost vented him without her, she got about one minute of time with him. So terrible. Words cannot describe how mad I am, and always will be with that hospital. By the way, he was there for 20 days, alone, before seeing my mother for one minute, which ended up being the last. He was on the ent for two weeks, only one person allowed in the room at a time. My mother was with him primarily, but my Mom, Sister and I all got to hold his hand as he took his last breath. An image that will never leave my mind.

I have so much more to say but it’s just too difficult.  My Mom and Dad were set to retire together this summer. She did, he didn’t. I hastily decided to move in with my Mom because I couldn’t bare the thought of her being alone. They would have been able to visit me in Florida whenever they wanted. Now I’m lost, I’ve spent all of my money that I had saved. I’ve been fighting my depression mixed with intense grief all at the same time while maintaining my sobriety. I don’t want o go back to the restaurant industry because I believe that’s a toxic environment for someone in recovery. I just don’t know what to do.  I’m filled with so much guilt because I thought I was going to be able to make up for lost time with my father because of my alcoholism, and I’ve lost that chance. The guilt is holding me down along with my financial situation.  I would greatly appreciate any help.  I feel like I have a lot to offer this world, but I feel like I’m starting from square one again, and I don’t know which direction to travel.  He was holding the two necklace charms when he passed and I wear them everyday. The golf ball is his ashes. Thank you for taking the time to read my story.

Need Financial Help Through the Holiday Season

It has been a tough couple of years, and my partner and I are still trying to get caught up on bills.  As we all know, the holidays can be expensive.  Especially with 2 children involved (11/m and 13/m).  We have gone into a bit of debt, with job changes and re-configuring our budget.  This is the first time I have ever tried anything like this.  I honestly don’t know how we are going to make it through the next couple of month.  We have exhausted all of our resources.  The stress is taking its toll on us.

I am behind on my car payment, and he is in a few grand of debt.  My credit is terrible, and his is just growing.  Loans are not an option for us.  In the midst of all of this, we are also looking to get a larger home, if/when we get raises that have been promised.  Until then, we’re stuck!

We don’t spend money on things that we don’t need.  Groceries, school and sports stuff for the boys…. It can get spendy.  My partner’s ex lives an hour away, so when we get the boys, that’s a $20 round trip that happens 10 times a month.  I keep hoping and praying for a miracle, but it just stays the same.  Neither of us has anyone we can turn to for help during this time.

I understand that times are hard for a lot of us right now, but there has to be someone out there that can help us out, even just a little.  I wouldn’t dream of being completely out of debt right now, but any help would be greatly appreciated.  I just want to be able to get back on our feet and not feel like we are drowning.  Just once, I want to be able to look at those boys without a worry of when we will be able to have our power bill caught up and plenty of food in the fridge/cabinets.

I know the odds of anyone taking the time to help a small family out are slim to nill, but I had to try.  It isn’t so much for me that I am asking.  It is for my partner’s two beautiful boys.  We try not to let them see the stress, but they’re pretty bright.  I want them to see us in a more stable financial situation. Whether it’s $5, $500, or whatever you are able to give, you have my wholehearted thanks!

Help us be together.

I understand that there is very little chance that anyone is even going to read this, much less be in a position to help, but I’m desperate, so here we are.

I don’t have a sob story really, and I’m sure that there are people who are in much worse situations than me, but I do have a long story, and I need help.

I’m just going to spill my guts and see what happens I guess, so here we go.

I am a unremarkably average 45 year old guy. I grew up in a pretty poor family and even though I’ve worked hard my entire adult life, I’m one of those people who lives paycheck to paycheck most of the time. I’ve never had anything handed to me my entire life. I’ve never asked anyone for help my entire life, and honestly, I’ve just never “caught a break” my entire life.

I’m very frugal. I don’t waste money. I don’t have any to waste. I don’t drink. I don’t smoke. I don’t do drugs. I honestly don’t do much of anything.

In a continuing effort to keep trying to make my life better, I started a small business about 8 months ago. I’m refurbishing used computers and components and selling them on Ebay. It’s actually been going decently for a new business. I’m approaching 30K in sales in the first 8 months! Although I do feel that is a decent gross for the first 8 months of a new business, unfortunately that’s not my net profits. In those 8 months, I’ve cleared about $12,000, which has been enough to keep my bills paid with a little left over.

As I said before, I live a very frugal life. I have a modest place to live, I drive a modest vehicle, and I’m fortunate enough to live in an area with a pretty low cost of living. I don’t have much, but I’m in good health and I’m content for the most part.

Anyway, here’s where we get to why I’m asking for help.

I’ve been single for over 15 years. I haven’t even been on a date in over 15 years. I had pretty much given up on ever finding a partner in life and had made my peace with that.

In October of 2021, partially out of boredom and partially out of loneliness, I made a profile on a dating site. I set my preferences to look anywhere in the world for a potential match.

After about a month, and after having some conversations with around a dozen different women, I hadn’t clicked with anyone on any level and was thinking of giving up.

I then came across a profile from a woman who I thought was very cute and I really liked what she had to say on her profile. The only problem was that she was 8700 miles away from me. Literally on the opposite side of the planet. I hesitated to to even bother sending her a message, but something inside me told me to just do it.

She sent me a message back almost immediately. After just a few minutes of talking on the site, she asked me if I would mind video calling her on Skype because she wanted to make sure I was real before wasting any time. I was okay with this because honestly, I wanted to know she was real too. So I called her.

We ended up talking for 6 hours on Skype that night, well into the early morning hours for me because she is 13 hours ahead of me.

We continued to video call with each other on Skype every single day for 2-4 hours each day for the next month. By the end of a month of talking for hours every day, we both knew we wanted to be together. In December of 2021, we made the decision to enter into a committed long distance relationship. Definitely a first for both of us. Seeing as I’m not a wealthy man, and she’s definitely not wealthy and from a very poor country, we had no idea how we were going to make it happen, but we knew we wanted to be together.

That was almost exactly a year ago. We haven’t missed a single day in that time. We have video called each other every single day for at least 2-4 hours for over year now, and we send each other messages constantly throughout the day when we’re not talking, just to let each other know what we’re doing.

I know it seems crazy to some, but we really are in love. All we want is to just be together.

A few months ago, I promised her I will come to visit her in January. We’re planning on getting married while I’m there. I’ve managed to save up enough to pay for the round trip flight and the first two weeks of accommodations. I’ve also managed to save up enough to get her a VERY modest engagement ring and wedding band, but I’m definitely going to need a little more for the trip.

First of all, I need enough to keep my bills paid while I’m gone. I then need enough to be able to stay for more than two weeks. I can’t stay with her because she lives with many family members and there is simply not enough room. Plus, it’s not okay for us to stay together until we are married in her culture.

My credit isn’t good enough to get a personal loan (I’ve tried), and I honestly have no friends or family with any money to loan me.

I was already stressed about trying to save up enough to go there next month, then I woke up today to a disaster. I had an alert that my checking account was overdrawn. I pay VERY careful attention to my finances and had no idea how this could have happened.

It turns out, I had a credit card that had a almost $800 balance and somehow the autopay got turned on and they withdrew the entire $800 balance from my checking account this morning. I only had about $300 in there, so my account was about NEGATIVE $477. I luckily had just enough in my business account to cover it, so I transferred $500 over quickly, but that still leaves me in a bit of a bind.

So, anyway, here’s where I’m at right this moment. I have a round trip ticket to the other side of the world paid for. I’m suppose to leave on Jan. 24th. I have two weeks in a $40 a night place paid for. I have a very humble engagement ring and wedding band paid for. I have about $30 in my personal checking account and about $100 in my business account.

I have the sweetest, most genuinely good and kind human being I have ever met excitedly waiting for me to come visit her next month. She’s already told all her friends and family that she is getting married. She is SO HAPPY and excited and as rough as my life has been, hers has been so much much worse. All she wants is to be with someone who loves her. She knows I don’t have a lot of money. She doesn’t care. She wants to come here and help grow my business together.

I have a place for us to live. I can provide for us once she’s here, I just need help getting us together. If I can make it there in Jan., and we can get married, it will probably be at least another year before we see each other again, so I just want to be able to go there and spend around 6 – 8 weeks together.

I need a minimum of $5000 sitting in my bank account before I leave on Jan. 24th. That’s enough to keep my bills paid for two months and to make sure I have enough to cover my stay there and our very small civil wedding and reception.

If by some miracle someone out there actually is able to give even more, any extra will be used to help with expenses related to getting her spousal visa approval for coming to the US later next year. Anything over that will be used to help expand my business and try to improve my income.

As I said in the beginning, I know there are others who are in more “life and death” situations than me, but I figured it wouldn’t hurt to ask.

It’s just that I’m a 45 year old guy, and I’ve FINALLY found the love of my life. I have a chance to be happy with an amazing partner for the rest of my life. I just need a little help getting us together. Once we’re together, I have no doubt we’ll be a great team and we’ll work together to make the best life we can. Neither one of us care about being rich. Neither one of us care about material things. We just want to be together. If anyone out there can help make that happen, I will be eternally grateful.

Need help paying bills — wife in college full time— living paycheck to paycheck

Hello everyone. I’m not sure where to go with this. I’m swallowing a mountain of pride to ask people who don’t know me for help. As my title states.. I’m working full time to support my wife through college. When the pandemic started, she was working full time as a retail manager in a mall. By mid last year, the complete disrespect and overwhelming pressure put on her from management to hit unobtainable numbers brought forth by the money being spent from the stimulus package took a toll on her mental health. To the point of full blown anxiety attacks on the way to work. I had no idea how to handle this, so I suggested she quit and pursue something she actually wanted to do. So she decided to go to college to become an art teacher. Well, I didn’t get to prepare beforehand, so we suddenly lost about half of our income, and the bills stayed the same. Since she started school, to compensate, Ive been relying on credit cards and personal loans to keep up with our cost of living, cutting as much expense as I could in the meantime. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize how soon the interest and whatnot would come to haunt me. That quickly turned into an immense burden on me, and with no real raises coming in, my cash flow became negative. That turned into a massive depressive episode for me, which in turn almost destroyed our marriage. 4 months in to her being in college, I shut down. We grew distant. She went out with a supposed friend to a bar.. and he took advantage of her stress. I found out about it and lost control of my emotions. To cope, I opened a bunch of credit cards.. spent a bunch of money on myself, and have been carrying the debt since the beginning of the year. We’ve both been in therapy, thankfully covered by my insurance, and have moved on to a better frame of mind. Unfortunately the debt has stayed the same. I can’t take on another job, as I’m working full time already as a truck driver. Her untreated ADHD makes it extremely hard for her to be a full time student and work. Unfortunately our great medical system keeps giving her the run around. Some raises are on the way, but my cash flow is so close to negative, that any extra expense (i.e. car tags this month) will put me into the negative until I get paid. I don’t know what to do to get a head and pay this debt off. We have two car payments, which will be matured in another 13 months, which will greatly open up my ability to make more payments, but that’s 13 months. I’m really just at a loss. Anything would be a lifesaver at this point.

I Can’t Do This Anymore

I don’t know where to start. Everything is a mess lately. I owe everyone money and my paycheck barely covers existence.

I’m in debt ($7000) to multiple credit card companies which I’ve recently gone through a debt relief program for (which is insanely destroying my already shaky credit), my car financer ($350/month), both of my parents (my dad ($1500) because he helped me get my car back after a repo earlier this year and my mom ($2000) because she helped me pay off a 27% interest loan because I couldn’t afford it anymore), and $15/hr at a doctor’s office just doesn’t cut it. My medical bills killed any savings that I had and while I’m happy that I’m physically better, the mental impact of constantly trying to make ends meet is taking a huge toll. Job applications are not getting me anywhere, I’ve put in hundreds and had only three interviews in the last 7 months.

I have basically bald tires on my car that I can’t afford to replace (in Pennsylvania in winter), both my cats need to go get their shots, and to top off my random money needs, my baby sister is going to be getting married halfway across the country soon and I need someway to get there.

My boyfriend is doing everything he can to be there for me mentally/emotionally, but he’s not doing better financially. He’s facing a possible repossession himself, his car payment is insanely high and he’s been laid off of work because of the weather, he was in construction. Unemployment hasn’t sent him anything for the past few weeks and we’ve had to borrow money from his mom multiple times to cover bills. He does have a new job lined up but it’s like $5 less an hour and we still need to catch up on about 6-7 weeks of pay. He’s trying to sell the car and just have his older truck, but he owes too much ($42000) and no one is willing to give him enough for it to just break even. Can’t even try and coast til tax refunds come in because I never get more than $300 and his previous job didn’t deduct for taxes so it’s out of pocket (Last year it was like $2500). We’ve eaten through any savings for that purpose.

Literally anything that anyone can give will help. I never thought that I would get to this point, but I’m desperate and need to reach out to someone. My thoughts are getting dark and I don’t want to do something stupid that’ll hurt the people I care about. Neither of us can take the stress anymore. We’ve all but given up hope. Thank you so much just for sticking around, and thank you even more if you’re able to help.

If you can help, I have CashApp, Venmo, Zelle, and PayPal. I was asked to put my PayPal but I can provide other information if requested.

Can you help me in my recovery?

I’ve always been the giver and it is quite difficult for me to ask for help. But here I am, in middle age, finally acknowledging that somehow, in the last 4 years, I developed a compulsive gambling addiction.

I am in recovery now, seeing a therapist and making myself accountable for the debt I incurred.

That being said, I could really use some help getting to a point where I can make reasonable monthly payments to pay down the debt I incurred.

I need $6,000 to get current on a loan where I am facing a summary judgement and $6,000 to pay off my outstanding PayDay loans. Without the stress of the summary judgement and the PayDay loans, I will be in a place where I can pay off all my other debt regularly.

Is there anyone who can help?

My Cash App handle is $commongal

Thank you for taking the time to read my request.

Escaped from cult – desperate for help

After over a decade of being subjected to abusive behavior, I finally escaped the Christian cult, along with my family, that we had been trapped in for a while. It took us years to recover financially, and after some CPTSD / Depression / Anxiety diagnosis we had just started to rebuild our lives. For the first time in decades, we were looking forward to life. However, the cult, in an attempt to silence any evidence or voice that speaks against their established ‘truth’, has sued many of their victims (including myself) who left in malicious lawsuits aimed to silence, bully, and intimidate. I’ve held on financially for over a year, but can no longer make enough money to pay the legal fees. Additionally, due to the C-PTSD I am mostly unable to work additional hours outside of my normal job. 

This cult stole decades of my life, impacting my health and family in unimaginable ways. Extreme sleep deprivation, complete devotion, financial strong-arming… At one point I was suicidal, desperate to escape the hell that I was stuck in. Reliving all of this while they gaslight me and try to erase my experiences through legal bullying is exceptionally triggering.  All I want is to put this terrible chapter behind me without ‘bowing the knee’ to the cult leader and destroying my life, both of which are definitely their preferred end results. 

Now, I’m facing financial insolvency soon, whereas before the lawsuit I was debt free. The lawsuit has completely decimated my life. I have no additional methods to make more money, and no resources to pull from anymore. The anxiety and depression sometimes is overwhelming. I’m tired of being gaslighted, abused, ignored, and told that the horrible things that I went through either didn’t happen or was “god’s” will. I just want to live and enjoy life.

My bills are piling up faster than I can pay them. I have various credit cards with balances between 8,000 – 15,000. I also have several loans of $25,000 taken out to cover legal fees. All in all, the lawsuit has cost us approximately $100,000, not counting upcoming additional legal fees with will be an additional $10,000. 

I need help. I am desperate and have exhausted every funding avenue I can think of, and I don’t know where to turn to anymore. Anything will help. Thank you.

I thought at the time, I was doing the right thing.

As a young teenager I had aspired to be an entrepreneur. My plan was to make money legitimately so I could not only lead a comfortable life, but help those who would never have the opportunity to do so to inspire hope.

Unfortunately, those dreams came to a halt.

Welcome to my world.

I was raised mainly by my mother, as my father was working day & night to provide us with food and a roof over our heads. Something I constantly thank him for, and will forever appreciate it.

In my house-hold lived my father, my mother, my brother & me. As time went on, my brother developed a cocaine & alcohol issue. This began at age 16 when he made the regretful decision to ‘hang’ with the wrong group. To this day, it is a habit he has not kicked.

I started work at age 16; 1 day after leaving school with the intention of helping him.

But he wasn’t interested. He was too comfortable with this lifestyle he chose.

This left me with a feeling of guilt later in life; what could I have done to help him? The answer was nothing. There’s 9 years difference between us, and this started when I was 6.

Cutting a long story short, he has rinsed my mother of all funds due to his habits; myself included. My father is not interested. As a result, I am over £18k in debt and my mother is struggling to pay her rent. Looking back now, I would have approached things very differently however, there’s no hindsight without experience, right? I was Naïve and the older I got, the more willing I was to give him cash to fund his habits just for a quiet nights sleep. I had to pay for peace of mind. It was a double edged sword.

I recently visited took a trip away for 2 days with the intention of coming back with a brand new mindset, to re-build and re-imagine myself as a person. One who values what matters most. (To add, I have an extreme fear with flying but I was getting on that plane one way or another)

I came back from my trip and realised you cannot help someone who does not want to be helped. You can only be there for them in times of need. I have explained to my brother that there is no more cash as if this continues, I will never lead the life I once dreamed of living.

I plan to start fresh, spend money only where needed with hope that one day I can pay my mothers rent without a worry and make one last attempt to put my brother into private rehab. Once I have (hopefully) accomplished this or at least made an attempt, I can focus on my own goals. There is only so much a human can do before they acknowledge precious time is being wasted.

If anyone is able to help me out of this situation, which admittedly I put myself into but with good intentions, any help will be greatly appreciated.

 

I wish you a blessed day and thank you for taking the time to read my story.

Need help BAD

Hi, I fell into a pit of anxiety and spent almost $5000 on credit. I got it through PayPal cause it was super easy, except I was buying Christmas presents, some groceries and gas, and stuff for myself which I thought I needed.

I’m currently working on selling stuff online as well as taking extra shifts at my work. I work in healthcare, however, I make 900 on each paycheck, and all my bills add up to $1000. Not including any misc items (car parts, tools), gas, or groceries.

I’ve got no savings. I really need some help with paying this off so I can get back up on my feet. This has been accumulated over about three months.

I can only do so many extra shifts. I can only save so much to spend on other things I need on the daily.

If someone could help me, I would be so grateful and will extend the favor to someone else in the future as well. I didn’t think I’d ever get this far in debt, but here I am.

Help us keep our car and pet please

My husband and I have massive debt from school and general life. As it stands our monthly payments are becoming more than we can afford combined with our cost of living. His student loans were suppose to be taken care of by his work place but because of fudged paperwork it is no longer possible. We do not live lavish or have grand lifestyles. We live modestly and try to plan well.

Due to this we have to make payments or let our credit suffer and spend years trying to fix it. We have two cars and soon to be one as we are going to sell one back so we can try our best to get ahead of it all. We are also considering giving up our dog and cat as that would free up money each month, however they are family and that is a last ditch plan if we cant care for them anymore.

We had plan of purchasing our first home but because of the debt to income we no longer qualify and will have to stay in our small one bedroom apartment for a few years. Which is not the worst but we want to start a family while we are younger and able.

This has put significant strain on his and my own mental health. A few month back he made an attempt at his own life telling me if he dies then I would get enough to pay for it all and have a good standing. It was a failed attempt but his depression worries me though i am confident he wont make another attempt I cannot but help worry about his well-being with these daunting troubles ahead of us.

We need a grand total of about 24k to be in good standings and be able to move forward in life and we are actively searching every corner and faucet that we can to secure these funds so that we have a better mental standing and can start our family in a place that has the room to do so. I don’t expect much or really anything at all as there are many in far worse places and situations. However I am reaching out to those that would be willing to help us stay on track and keep moving forward in life.

Thank you for any and all that have taken the time to read, consider, or donate money to our cause. Kindness has a way of returning back to those who show it to others.

I just need some help

I have 3 brothers all are fine financially but they have never been generous EVER for any occasion. They are the kind of men you could never just say…hey can you loan me £50, please. No matter how dire your life is they were raised by our mother a not-very-nice lady who taught them to not care for their sisters.  And it does not make me happy to write that but it is true and took me into my adult life to recognise that mother just did not care for any of her daughters…you were like slaves to her {that is a West African thing} and those of us who know….just KNOW.

Since September I have been homeless with my younger sister who is Bipolar and frankly I cannot cope with her as she has such terrible outbursts whereby she will scream at me for ages and sometimes I am just too scared to be around here. Not because she is violent per se but more because I cannot take her endless screaming and insults.  I have been booking places for us to stay she could have helped but she spent all her money online shopping.  I work after being out of work for many, many years and not because I am stupid…far from it.  I have been working since this year but being homeless and working is not fun at all. I feel stressed out and sad because I text and emails my brother every day for help and every day they ignore me.  Our moved passed away a few years ago and even if she were alive would not make a difference because you cannot alter what you created. My mother hated females and valued males which is why my brothers, not the smartest men at all, all have an overwhelming arrogance and smog ways about them.

Family means nothing to my brothers and I don’t think anybody has 3 brothers quite as horrible as mine. They have zero compassion and even fought over who would pay our mother’s funeral costs. If anybody ever met them they would say the same thing….your brothers are so nice…I wish I had that fake quality that certain people give off with ease. They are nothing short of disgusting, vile human beings. These guys even ignored their niece’s 16th Birthday because they HATE the child’s mother but that kind of tells you something of their personalities as who takes out their disagreement with a sibling towards a child??
I could go on about my brothers and even when I have done this to people who know us all because they knew us all from childhood I can see they just do not believe a word I say. Well, that goes back to that thing that some people do so well which is to have that charming public face that just wins people over…whilst I usually watch totally incredulous. The kind of cruelty I have come to know from my brothers is worthy of a novel and if I were not so tired both physically and mentally I would be writing pages and pages.
I have only been back at work this year and would be surviving just fine if I had gotten work when I wanted and needed it most but had over a decade of unemployment due to an ex-boss who destroyed my professional life.
I am not a quitter and I have rarely ever asked anybody for help as was more the person that people came to for help I am not somebody who readily ignores anybody going through hardship…as the Oriental lady once told me who was observing people dodge and ignore a homeless guy like he was not there asking for help…she watched my interaction with him and said…you have a very kind heart and she was not wrong.  As I do not understand people who are unkind, meanspirited, utterly selfish or lacking the imagination to know that sometimes people need help and for the most part it is sometimes never easy to ask for help because to be rejected can really make a person feel down. and lower then what they feel already.

Please help me get out of this problem, I’ve tried a lot of different things but none of them have worked and I’m running our of time.

(I’m sorry of its long)
Hey there, I hope whoever is reading this is having a good day, I am a scholarship student that wanted to be independent by working on digital marketing and I not only failed but lost most of my savings and at the time it happened I was so desperate that fell for a scam and lost even more, the problem is that I promised helping my mom to pay for house repairings using part of the money that I’ve been saving by myself and what was left over from the scholarship’s transportation aid (it’s basically an extra money that the government gives you each semester to pay lunch and transport to the university) but I no longer have enough to help her thanks to my mistake.

All what I wanted was to be able to follow my own path because even if my mom is one of the most caring and lovely people that are out there and that I wouldn’t change her for anything in this world, she became really overprotective thanks to all what has happened to her during these 4 years and she refuses to get any help , and man it has men really tough, she has lost a lot, she lost someone who can be called as her brother thanks to the virus and my grandpa almost died of a heart attack a pair of years ago, I heard her crying a lot and all what I could do was to hug her and tell her everything was gonna be ok, at the end my grandpa survived and has completely recovered but everything that happened marked my mother deeply to the point where I was forced by her to stay in a local university in a career chosen by her (at that time the scholarship process was delayed thanks to the virus and I didnt know for sure that I was going to get it), I saw all of my friends going to different parts of the country and even some of them went overseas All while I’m stuck here in a career path that I’m not good at at all in a home environment that was getting more and more suffocating as time passed.

And then came the “opportunity”, I saw a digital marketing online course in which I saw a way to not only be independent and have an escape from the situation at home, I remember saying to myself: “once I get this working I will rent an apartment and after stabilizing myself I’m going to help mom with the house bills” I even bought a laptop secretly so that I could work on it while at the university, but that “once I get this working” never came, I realized that in order to get it working I needed more money than what was left in my savings, I was desperate at the moment, I had lost more than half of my savings and a search for a part time job that I’m still doing by the time I write this hasn’t given any results, but it was not over yet, 1 month ago a storm damaged some parts of my houses roof, we got them repaired but my mom asked me if I could help her with the last repairs because the money from her work is not enough to cover them and since I haven’t said anything about my savings to her and knew that the problem would be even bigger if I told her what happened I said yes and starting looking for a job that I haven’t found even now, at this point I’m running out of both options and time and the only thing I can think off now is to look for help, I only need 800 dollars to get everything covered, so please, help me get out of this problem.

(thats an image of the ceiling bellow the damaged section of the roof, those are the marks that the water have left over time)
