Dear Begging Money,
I hope you are well. I am writing you today while I am just crushed, looking for compassionate assistance in this immense personal and financial struggle. I share with you my distressing situation that recently unfolded, and honestly I find difficult to navigate on my own.
Over the past few months, I have found myself grappling with the mistifying backlash of situation after situation that has put me in a state of derision. Someone I considered a friend, whom I will refer to as “Jane” for privacy, has inflicted a profound impact on my life, both emotionally and financially. Jane’s struggles with compulsive gambling, as I later discovered, have led to a series of events that have shaken me at how a person could be so hateful and hurtful. Not like the home I grew up in…
As you may well know, I am on a fixed income, managing my expenses diligently to make ends meet. In light of this, the recent turn of events has been particularly injurious. Jane’s unchecked gambling sickness has not only led to severe financial losses on her part but has also resulted in pay-or-quit notices being posted on my door. These notices, threatening eviction due to the accumulated debts she has left unpaid, have cast a cloud of anxiety and uncertainty over my living situation.
To make matters worse, Jane has abruptly moved out and left town, leaving behind an overwhelming $11,100.00 + deficit, with a unrealistic expectation that I should cover it! The weight of this financial burden, coupled with the betrayal of trust by someone I used to trust, has taken an great toll on my physical and emotional life. The stress alone about the ripple effect of her actions, have become an ever-present shadow in my everyday life.
This is why I humbly reach out like a drowning man, seeking finances in my time of need. Your support would provide a lifeline, helping me to address the financial obligations brought upon me through no fault of my own. Your contribution would alleviate the immediate crisis and offer me the hope and strength to overcome these challenging circumstances.
Your kindness has the power to make a colossal difference in life during this crisis. I understand that there are many worthy causes you may support, and I am grateful for your consideration of my plea. When you are able to contribute, know that your help will relieve my financial tension and restore my trust in the charity that comes from lending a helping hand to those in need.
Thank you for taking the time to read my letter and for considering my request. I sincerely hope for a positive response and the opportunity to share with you the impact your love gift can have on this man’s life.
With heartfelt gratitude,

Trying to get out of financial ruin
This year I was fortunate to give birth to my son, which has been a blessing. However, with this joy has come many financial challenges that I am struggling to overcome.
It truly started last year a week before the holidays when my employer informed everyone that the company was closing down and everyone would be laid off at the end of the year. This came as a shock, especially because I was pregnant. My job was not high paying, but I made due. However, once it closed down, I was unable to find a new job right away. Things were further complicated when my doctor put me on bedrest for pregnancy complications. Now within a matter of months, I have lost any financial security I did have and am in need of help asap.
I have been struggling financially to pay monthly expenses since the beginning of the year, and this last month has used up the last of the money I had. My loans and credit cards payments that I was previously able to pay on time last year are now all past due, and I’m worried they could be cancelled.
I have tried to get a new loan to help cover my monthly expenses and planned to pay it back when I get a job, but I can’t get a loan now because my credit score is so low due to my credit cards being maxed out. They were the only things that enabled me to survive during my pregnancy (allowing me to buy food, pay for monthly bills, and now formula for my infant). My family is also unable to help as they have no money. (I was usually the one to help them in the past.) The small savings I did have has been used up, and my bank account is currently in a continuous overdrawn state. I am actually scared they will close it soon as well.
I have two kids now and honestly don’t know how I’m going to make it through the next month if I don’t have help. I haven’t even received the final hospital bill from my delivery, but I know it will be more than I can handle. However, I first have to make sure I can pay for my family to be stable. I need to make sure that I can pay my rent and put food on the table.
Any donation would help me greatly, and I appreciate you taking the time to read this.

Extension Nightmare help desperately needed
I normally do not reach out for help on such platforms, but this is my last resort in the hopes someone can help me with the dilemma that I am facing. My partner and I have been living at our current property since 2014. We live a normal modest life, I work full time, my partner works full time as well, she runs her own beauty business. We do not live an extraordinary lifestyle; we live according to our means. That is a bit of a brief introduction into us as a family. We have always wanted to build an extension onto our property, and we both saved and scrapped as much a we could, and at the end we took a small loan to make up the difference. My partner was advised by one of her clients that the builder who build her property did a respectable job and recommended him. We met with the builder he seemed a nice enough gentleman knew his stuff and we said OK, in comparison with the other builders that we had consultations with, and base on their quotes which was a bit on the high side for our budget we choose the recommended builder as his quote came in on point for what we budgeted for.
My partner and I choose the builder based on recommendation from my partners client for the work he conducted on her property (which we inspected), and after checking his company reviews online, we could not see anything out of the ordinary that warranted us not choosing him.
On 13 February 2023, the builder started the ground works for our extension, at the start of the project, the builder agreed that it would take him no more than 3 months to complete our single-story extension. It was all going fine in the beginning; the builder was onsite every day. Come April, the cracks started to show with the builder, meaning that he would show up one week for a couple of days and then we would not see him for another couple of days. The biggest upset came when he disappeared for 3 weeks in May. The first week we did not think too much of it, as it was a sort of pattern of his, (as he would not come as an example on Monday to Wednesday, but then in the same breath he would come and work Thursday, Friday Saturday, and Sunday). I digress, nearing the first week and a half we decided to give him a call, we did not receive a response, then we tried WhatsApp, also we did not receive a response, we tried daily to contact him for a good three weeks with no response. Then one day he showed back up, came to work, my partner and I confronted him, and his explanation (excuse) was, that he also conducts work for Wren kitchens, he did not block out the weeks that he needed to be at our property in their agenda and they booked him for a job.
My partner and I thought, it is a human error we can all make such mistakes. We said clearly after hearing his excuse (which I clearly did not believe), we emphasized he least you could have done was reply or answer our phone calls or text messages, explaining the situation. He apologized profusely, and we left it at that. Now that he was back working again, I enquired wanting to know how much longer he will need to complete our extension? He assured me that by middle of June, he should be complete. Reason for my questioning had to do with the fact that my mom who lives in the Caribbean her health has been declining and I was planning to go and see her which I normally do every year in March for her birthday, but because the builder started our build in February, I thought I would start looking to book my tickets ending June (if you are asking yourself why I just didn’t book my ticket and go and visit my mom, I couldn’t just leave my partner for 2 á 3 weeks on her own amidst all of this). After hearing his response on the completion deadline, I had something to work towards when it came to booking my ticket.
Come June, I saw that his presence was not consistent again, meaning he began the same routine of coming one day here and there, and I confronted him again in a polite manner asking are you sure June is achievable? He assured me begin July the latest for completion. I again reiterated my situation with my mom and that I need him to complete as I need to go down and be with her!
June 22nd2023, will be a day that I will never forget, as this would be the last time that my partner and I saw our builder. We did not hear from him for a week, and into a 1,5 week we started calling him, sending WhatsApp messages, emailing him all with no avail. Until one day after a month, I am not sure what triggered him to respond to my partners message stating shame on you, he came back with the most pathetic excuse I ever heard, stating that he was in a depressive mental state due to the loss of his mom two years ago etc… but by this time my partner and I have been look at taking legal action towards him as we are sat with a half open wall going from our now living room into the extension with a wood frame as bi-folding doors, floor that is not complete and semi open to the elements. Walls that are yet to be plastered, electrics that still need to be fitted, the remaining wall that still needs to be broken out to join the extension and the living room, and winter which is just around the corner and if nothing is done, I will see my gas bill skyrocket. To top it off, his tools is still at our property. 13 August 2023 will make it 6 months since the builder started this extension project, and 22nd August 2023 will make it 2 months since he last stepped foot onsite/ onto our property.
The issue that that my partner and I face is that every credible builder that we engage to come and give a quotation, does not want to accept the work, given his tools are still on site the possibility of him being able to turnup whenever. For my partner and I to give a formal notice we need to engage with a lawyer and that is part of the reasoning for me coming onto this site to asking for help. Lawyer fees are expensive, and we would like to take this to the full extent of the law, as this no way to deal with people. We are aware that it will cost us significantly, but we cannot take this laying down as it has really put a strain our family and his lack of understanding. My partner and I, had an initial consultation with a lawyer which costed us 160 for an hours session and for her law firm to write a formal letter it will cost us 750, and if they will need to go back and forth with in their responses with the builder, it will cost 150 per response.
My partner and I have been in talks with other builders that came to property and if should choose to take on the work (given the above has been rounded off with the builder, meaning his tools has been removed and contract terminated) to complete where the builder left off, we are looking at a starting point of 15k at minimum. That is currently money that my partner and I do not have. Another dilemma that I am facing is that the airline ticket prices are skyrocketing currently, and if they are still on the uptake, means I will not get to see my mother at all this year, and it is worrying, as I highlighted above, given her current health issues. Seeing that I lost my dad 2 years back, I want to be there by her side as much as I can, preferably every year. And knowing that this builder has left my family in this predicament, seeing that I must fork out all this money, I will not be able to take my daughter down to the Caribbean, to visit her grandmother, bearing in mind that this my mom’s sole granddaughter.
I hope that someone can see into our dilemma with this builder, as what we expected to be a smooth sailing happy extension, has turned out to be an extension nightmare.

The last resort
Hello my name is Luc I am 51 years old I have a mild form cerebral palsy on my right side (Right-sided hemiplegia). I am a new home owner. Two people who I trusted did a fundraiser to help me get somethings repaired around my house and get it up to code. Long story short those two people stole the money from the go fund me. They stole a big chunk of the money and what was left over was used on the roof we had barely enough. I have been made promises by people who probably meant well offering to help fix something but never followed through. I have gone to helping agencies in my area. I only fit two of the criteria I am low income and I am disabled the only thing is that I am not 55 or 65 or older. I need to get an electrician and a plumber there is water under my trailer and the breaker box needs to be rewired. My refrigerator went out and all the food in there spoiled. My stove works sometimes and other times it won’t turn on. All of my floors need to be redone I also need to replace my water tank. As I have mentioned before I am too young for the programs that would help free of charge. I have been trying to check all my possibilities and I have exhausted all my resources. I don’t feel comfortable asking for help or money. The only reason I am asking is to keep a roof over my head.

If he wins custody I will never see my daughter again.
Hi,
I am a divorced mother that has been going through a custody battle for almost 3 years. The case has been postponed many times due to “games” my ex and his lawyer plays. In the meantime, I have been bullied in unimaginable ways by my ex and he has been manipulating me and our children throughout this process. My ex has been successful at getting our son to turn against me and he is now doing the same with our daughter. My son is now over 18 but I continue to pray that he will come to me and know that I will welcome him with open arms no matter what and at any time. But my daughter is still a minor and she doesn’t understand all of what is going on but it is affecting her. I recently decided to get she and I a family therapist to help us through this and also with the parent alienation that is starting to show. I am fighting for custody because if I don’t, I will no longer have a relationship with my daughter which would devastate me. I am up against a controlling narcissist that is putting me and our children (extended family too) through this chaos because at the end of the day he doesn’t want to pay child support or be in the system. I’m confident my lawyer has the talent to show that I am the better parent, but I have to be able to pay her and I am severely struggling. Please help me.
Thank you for reading my story and for any help you provide.

Tired Of Debts
Hi. I am kindly and sincerely asking for financial assistance to pay off my debts. I currently have two loans that I am struggling to pay and it has been affecting me emotionally. I am owing approximately $400,000.00 in debts and I barely have money to live by. My financial struggles started three years ago when my family and I faced a series of witchcraft attacks due to jealousy. When the witchcraft was done to my family and I, our lives changed for the worst. My only brother who was very healthy suddenly got ill and died, my sister started getting constant headaches from then until now, my mother had gotten alot of pain in her feet and all of a sudden money was just leaving my account until all my savings was gone. A series of events started happening for me to lose money which resulted in me taking out those loans. I tried starting different businesses so that I could get myself out of this financial crisis. Every business I tried failed. My family and I have started to attend church and are praying for deliverance. Everyday I pray and hope that all my debts could be paid off so that I could have one less burden to be worried about. I am pleading and begging for someone’s assistance. I would be truly grateful. One day I hope to God I can be in a great financial position to donate back to someone in need because I know how it feels to have nothing. To those that are willing to assist me, may God bless you with perfect health, happiness and prosperity for your kindness.

Lonely Bereaved Mom Desperately Needing A Helping Hand Up Out of This Dark Hole
Most of my adult life had been hardships. I had to fight for everything I got. I thought I had it hard then I received the best gift that I could have ever imagined, my greatest blessing, my son born on December 7th, 1995 8lbs 1 ounce. I ended up a single mom most of his life so I never had a whole lot very easy then either. But the bond we have is so strong it will NEVER BE BROKEN!! My whole world revolved around this boy, anyway, my life was hard, or so I thought.
Then on December 13, 2016, six days after my boy Dylan turned 21, I lost him to suicide. I found him hanging in our bathroom. There is so much more involved with his story including not having any father figure in his life (although I know how much it bothered him because I found a letter that he wrote to him just before he died, telling him he was scared of him when he was little and as he got a little older, he wondered why his father liked all the kids but not his own son, as a mother, this broke my heart into a million pieces again but I realized early on that Dylan would have been much worse off with him in his life). There is also this last doctor (psychiatrist) who turned him away for being honest and telling him he was drinking and then, in his fabricated appointment, he grossly misdiagnosed him and the list goes on, but I cant write a book here.
Then I knew what a hard life was, not having my prodigy of a boy around (basically he was a talented, intelligent artist with too big of a heart for this world) I miss him more than I would miss both arms and legs. Now nothing matters to me anymore. Six and a half years later it really hasn’t gotten any better. I just cared less and less about other things in my life. Not one day goes by that I dont think of suicide in one way or another. Dylan was, and still is ,my whole world and I miss every single thing about him. It is so quiet here now (I don’t hear his singing and playing guitar coming from his bedroom anymore.) The silence is deafening. I hate this new life I have been handed.
.
I am behind every month on my bills because I’m on assistance waiting for my some doctor to take me seriously and fill out the correct forms for disability. I have been diagnosed with quite a few mental disorders since losing the only love of my life. The 2 that seem to bother me the most are the complicated grief and PTSD. I am nothing near the person I used to be. I know I cannot work now if ever I can again. There are a few therapies that I was never able to try because they were not covered by our medicare system.
Then as if I already didn’t have much on my plate, I ran into the back of another vehicle about 3 weeks ago with only PL and PD for insurance on my 2014 Nissan Rogue( I could not afford full coverage) but now I am getting back zero dollars for my truck. Nothing at all, I have nothing to trade in, no down payment, I owe my poor mother money, and I just can’t keep going on this way. Some thing has got to change in my life. I can’t keep up with my monthly bills now let alone afford to buy anything else. I am trying to survive on a couple of hundred less than $1000 a month and it’s impossible. Sometimes, I just want to do what my son did and it would all go away, but for some reason I cannot.
I am still living in the same place that I lived with my son for about 15 years now. The place where I lost my whole world. At first I didn’t want to leave the place I was with him last, but now, this little mobile home is closing in on me more everyday. Especially the bathroom, I am getting quite claustrophobic in there and I don’t know what I will do If it gets to a point where I cannot go in there. I cannot get in and out fast enough. Now i do think some kind of move would be good for me but I cannot afford to move, nor could I afford to pay any rent for apartments that may be available.
No vehicle, tiny trailer, all alone without my only child and I feel so trapped in this rotten circle that just keeps going around and around. I would live under a hut in the Dominican Republic and I am not joking. I wish this was all one big bad dream but I keep waking up everyday, cursing God that I did wake up (then I ask his forgiveness)
I am not asking for any certain amount of money at all or asking for anything, $100,000 would get me out of my life circumstances but I know that’s a dream to me. I would certainly appreciate any help at all if someone felt a tug on their heart enough to want to help me in some way, ANY WAY AT ALL. I know I need another vehicle and moving would be best for my mental health but these are very expensive things. I am at the end of my rope and I didn’t want to write into this website but I have no more choices left. I really need help with just about everything in my life, but I know it is impossible for anyone to send me a happy life, that would be the next best gift I could receive after getting to see my son again, But I do know, thank God, that I will be with him again someday, I just pray it comes quicker than later.
So that is the story of my life, in a short version. I really do feel like a beggar but I guess that is what I am doing on this website. Like I said I am out of options.
Thank you so much in advance for any help available and may God Bless You.

Grieved Mom Due to Medical Malpractice Trying To Rise from Sorrow & Depression!!
Hello, I’m Lillae. On 12/10/22, I took my 17-year-old son Kazmir T. to the ER due to a severe cough and chest pain. After initial tests, we insisted on an X-ray, revealing pneumonia in his left lung. He received antibiotics and was sent home. Within 12 hours, he started coughing up blood, so we returned the next morning. His pneumonia had worsened, leading to intubation. At the ICU, the doctor delivered devastating news of his critical condition. Despite their efforts, my son’s health declined further. Numerous visits from doctors followed, and eventually, they disclosed a (Medication Dosage Error). Instead of 0.2 of Epinephrine they gave him a whole 2 which is more than 10x’s the required dosage . Unfortunately, my son passed away on Jan 8, 2023, just shy of his 18th birthday and with many aspirations.
Since the tragedy, I have sought legal counsel, and after a painstaking 7-month search, I have finally found representation. However, I also found myself plunged into a deep depression, leading to falling behind on bills, rent, and car maintenance. The situation forced me to withdraw from school, causing academic setbacks. I’m determined to re-enroll for the upcoming fall semester, but I’m in the process of appealing for financial aid, which will take several weeks. I recently returned to part-time work, though it barely covers my basic needs. Balancing this, I am also caring for my 6-year-old daughter. I humbly ask for assistance to regain my footing while pursuing justice for my child. I’ve exhausted local agency options, and my goal is to resume my education, covering expenses like books, tuition, and living costs. Your generosity would mean the world to us. Thank you from the depths of my heart.

Please help me get out of mold infested apartment
Hello My name is Ashley. I don’t even know where to start bout my situation. In January I thought Life was finally looking up. I finally got out of living in my car. But let me tell you how it was less stressful living in my car then it is living in these apartments. It’s been a constant domino effect dealing with these apartments. They told me that when I moved in that they would be renovating the whole build in couple months but thar wasn’t true at all. The office manager lied and continued to lie until it finally caught up with her and she was fired and along with the maintenance man. This is after I finally got the attention of the management company and the non-profit organization that owns the building. A lady came from the non-profit finally came and seen how bad it was for herself she was appalled of the conditions of the building but unfortunately it seems like it was act to buy them some time. I live in a income based apartments I make the least amount of income then other tenants but I pay almost 100 more a month and I have the smallest unit. So basically I’ve been getting over charged. It’s been a month since since talking to that lady and the only thing that has been done is that the new maintenance came by and informed me that they gonna be renovating soon but I was going to be in the apartment when they do so. Because of years of neglect and them not fixing the roof properly the roof leaks bad. On really hot days you can smell the mold in the common hallways. I have lupus which an autoimmune disease so basically I have no immune system. My health has declined so much from living here between the mold and the stress. I have stayed in a constant flair up. I am currently working with legal aid. I am suing these people but that’s gonna take time and if I continue to live here I’m afraid that it’s gonna kill me. My life is already shorten enough. I make less then $900 a month. I don’t get any other help. I have figured out a way to live comfortable off my 900 a month but it’s coming up with the money to buy the major thing I need which is the rv/camper I can get a nice one for bout 3000 and that includes getting my car fixed. If by chance someone has an rv they would like to donate to me that would be even better.

Help me fight for my kids!
Good Morning, Shalom!
My name is Amah Kattie, a mother of 5 boys, who moved to the usa 6 years ago.
I’m originally from Côte d’Ivoire where I have been married for 13 years. I entered rhis relationship at the age of 24.
I was young, inexperienced, he was 10 years older than me, and divorced once.
Every relationship has its ups and downs. Early in my marriage I found myself verbaly and mentally abused. At first I would blame myself, accusing myself of not being good enough. I constantly had to adjust myself, but never did he.
I ended up depressed, my self confidence was gone. At the same time I had to be the mother my 5 boys deserved. I had to be there for them, spending time with them, giving them a proper education, raising them to become good Men, better men.
I ended up running away from the house to save my life, but The judge advised that I let the kids live in our matrimonial home with their father since what I did was vonsidered as abandoning my marriage.
I found myself more depressed for not having my kids with me and my ex husband has been trying hard to make me pay for leaving him.
I ended up having panic attacks, so my brothers, living in the usa onvited me to come for a medical check-up and relaxing.
Wich was a good suggestion because I found out that I was suffering from several diseases linked to the anxiety.
I had to start over here, from the bottom, rebuilding myself, but without my kids, since their father did not allow them or me to stay in touch with each others, accusing me of abandoning them and not giving him money to take care of them (wich I could not, giving my ongoing situation)
I managed to travel back home 3 time to visit them, but he eould not allow me. Hiding them.
Thank God, growing up, they would find a way to send me messages, hiding to call me….
6 years today since I left my country, things did not change, and I have to do something. I recently hired a local lawyer to fight for their custody since they are really disturbed by the situation. They need to breathe, they both father and mother. I know that me having them, I will never cut them from their father.
Please help me pay for the lawyer bills total = $4,200.
I have to travel back home to take care of it, wich means, I have to quit my current job here, because I do not know how long it will take. I’ll still have bills to pay in the us and will need money for my stay in Cote d’Ivoire.
I would need more than $4200, but it would be a blessing for having the legal expenses covered at least. For the rest God will a way.
I thank you for every penny you’ll give because it will help me get closer to my goal.
You can contact me if you need more info or supporting documents as proofs
God Bless you 🙏

Desparately in need of funds to get car fixed and to get back on my feet
I’ve been having a lot of trouble these last few months with a lot of things. Within the last few months, I’ve dealt with deaths, family drama, I was layed off from my job, got into a car accident that my insurance wounldnt pay for because they didn’t add collision coverage to it when I asked them to (and I didn’t know), and now to top it all off, my roommate and I got into an argument and he wants me to move out and I have nowhere to go. I’m actively looking for a job. I just haven’t found one yet. My dad passed away about 2.5 years ago. His income did help my mom out a lot. But recently she meet a man online and he’s scamming her. She still doesnt believe it. Before i found out, i was giving her money trying to help her out. But, since ive found out about this man and since she refuses to listen to me, Iv discontinued helping her. She’s also part of the reason why my funds have gotten low. I took my hard earned money out of my savings and trusted her and gave it to her. Apparently that was a mistake. If there is anyone out there at all that could help me, it would be greatly appreciate it.

THERE MUST BE SOMEONE OUT THERE…WHO WOULD LEND A HELPING HAND
It has never been my intention, to “beg for money.” Truth be told my life has consisted of much giving myself.
What Happened? Since I need the person receiving this message to grasp the depths of the type person I am and with just this simple and short message. Sounds almost
impossible right? Yet here I am at 62 years old, doing
just that.
Without much to say as to how I got here I’m going to
briefly state the life I’ve had in as short of words
as possible.
I have 2 college degrees
I have been up and I have been down
My life hasn’t been wasted feeling sorry for myself.
And given the number of traumatic and life changing
events that apparently God felt I could handle,
the strength that I have gained as a confident,
charismatic individual that I am now and the
way that I was then, the only analogy that I can
come up with is that of a rock today, and a small
branch then. One that 30 years ago, could easily be
blown away. Since I wasn’t rooted at that time, it
was easy for me to second guess myself and to remain
quiet due to being unsure of myself.
Today I am here fully in the present, I am wrapped in
a descent physical shape and face and hair. I am so
very grateful for all the blessings in my life.
I am smart enough to realize that I owe my life to
God/Love. Love is everything, and it was God who
carried me when I was in so much pain.
Starting in 2005-August I lost my father who only had
a history of HTN. In March 2007 I lost my mother who
had no medical history at all. I am an only child.
I had lived a sheltered life and I was vulnerable and
naive. But again please understand its’ these painful
losses that I could physically feel and I was scared
to be without my mom and dad.
But I had my 2 children at the time they were
21 and a few months shy of 18. I raised them alone
after divorcing their dad for physically abusing me.
Again please understand I’m not complaining and they
we’re raised middle class with love and what I could
afford to give them and they came first. I always
worked. Since I was 15 when I started at Schallers
in NY. Like I said I am 62 now and still working.
August of 2007 and without warning my son was robbed
and shot in the head on a sunny Sunday in Desert
Shores in Las Vegas, where I have resided since 2001
He was shot in my car on a sunny Sunday afternoon
in a less than risky neighborhood and he had never
carried or even learned much about guns.
In 2019 my daughter and I received the news that
his executioner was found and he has been sentenced
to 16 years in NV prison.
Of course I have skipped the devastation that I felt
and the fact that ending my life was forefront on my
mind for close to 2 years. Ive also skipped the
devastation that at the time was also going on
as a result of my stupidity or naivety of choosing
to believe in another man and then proceeding to
trust him. I didn’t take him long to dismantle any
and all “things ” that I had accumulated and once I
realized he was not on my side, my home that I owned
by myself, the cars I had obtained 1 for myself and
1 for my daughter, my profession, my possessions,
my identity, and my job were all in jeopardy of being
taken and without enough money or the ability to
continue to work both mentally and emotionally
or the strength to fight my now marred reputation
I gave up for some time, moved in with my daughter
and her new husband and raised my 2 grandkids now
13 and 10.
About 5 years ago I regained enough feelings of self
worth and gathered myself up and started again
looking for work. Since I never had enough money to
fight the damage that was done with the state board
nursing in another state, I knew I had to begin all
over again, but again I did. I persisted and learned
and was grateful for the small amount of money that
I was able to make and I soon obtained the financial
stability to rent a house by myself for $975.
Although a far cry from what I am used to
as far as neighborhood and or employment again I
found myself being thankful for the ability to feed
myself my dogs and pay for my phone car house
internet power etc….
Now it has been 5 years that I have learned what it’s
like to work by serving customers and I still do it
to this day. My employer pays us an hourly wage
that is just enough to be able to say that we are
making what the law states we should be making.
I work 4 nights a week and I can honestly say that
in my entire life I have never worked as hard
physically as I do now. But again I am not
complaining, I am again grateful. Not just for the
job itself but the opportunity that it has given me.
That opportunity might seem substandard to most and
I can guarantee that without the emotional breakdowns
and the complete loss of my family and son, this
unique situation to serve others and work so hard
without breaks (I run the tavern alone at night)
so there is no one to cover us at (Dottys) which is
a local casino with 15 machines, this is not a place
where I would have chosen to work. The work is hard
the pay is horrible and without the generosity of
the local patrons many who return week after week,
sometimes I believe just to make sure that we (the
bartender) or casino host” housekeeper, jackpot
payer, slot tech, cocktail and food server, ID
checker and the monitor of all patrons coming and
going, do in fact go home with some money (tips)
to make it all worth while, there is NO WAY that I
could have been allowed to remain independent, in my
own (rental home) or be able to pay for my car to
get there (work). SO my appreciation runs deep
and the amount of persons that I have come across
that I have been able to feel the true pleasure
of getting to “know” combined with the realization
of how far removed I would have been had these
life changing traumatic events not occurred.
Again I didn’t ask for them I didn’t contribute to
them nor did I have any inkling that they were coming
yet here I am still alive still grateful still
connecting with and making a difference in the lives
of many different types of people and again I am
grateful. I have no fear anymore like I used to and
the home I rent is on the other side of town.
A side of town riddled with crime and problems.
Yet again I stand without fear, filled with love
the anger is gone, I have forgiven my sons murderer.
I am done being mad at God for leaving me all alone
here with just my daughter who I am so grateful for
and my grandkids that have filled my life up in ways
that I never dreamed possible.
Yet, I am not getting any younger, there is no family
that will leave me a home or money as I hear so many
others talking about. Even though I was an only child
my parents did the best they could but they both
worked full time at blue collar jobs they 2nd
mortgaged the house just to make ends meet and
when they died they owed money out to creditors and
since the bank really owned it they took the house.
they had been married 52 years and I was raised in
the same house until adulthood. Their small $16,000
life insurance policy paid for their funerals and
my daughter and I had to borrow most of the money
to bury my son.
Money….living paycheck to paycheck….tip to tip…
that is the reality of my life and as anyone can
imagine their is barely any left after the Monthly
bills have been satisfied. And again I am not
complaining, Truth be told I am a homebody and I live
to far from work to socialize the days that I’m off.
I’m OK with that. My daughter got divorced, got her
PHD and packed up the kids and moved back to NY
where we are from and where I was born and raised.
(Rochester,NY)
They have been gone just under 2 years. I have
managed to scrape together the money to fly back a
couple times over these past couple years and for
that I am grateful.
But given the history of losses both physically
mentally and emotionally I am exhausted. I worry
every day of my life if this is going to be the day
when I don’t make enough money to stay independent
enough to live on my own. And I am always stressed.
I am so grateful for the contributions of the patrons
who are going above and beyond their own means
sometimes just to make sure that we make enough
money to survive.There has never been enough money
to not live day to day.
I guess the reason I have decided to reach out
for monetary help, is a couple reasons.
1. Im going to be 63. I am healthy but you never
know.
2. It would be so awesome to be able to hire a moving
company at some point and move back to NY.
3. Secondary to the humiliation and embarrassment
that I felt having to live with my daughter in the
first place back those years ago, I don’t think I
could truly survive emotionally as the burden that I
felt I had placed on her then was almost to much for
me to handle. I can’t go through it again. It would
kill me emotionally to have to ask to live with her
and her family again. And it’s not that they
wouldn’t love to have me its the fact that my life
was so poorly planned by me with regard to my future
combined with the severe mistakes I made by trusting
the untrustable, I would wake up every day feeling
like I was nothing but a financial burden and it was
no ones fault but my own.
The ability to live even in the hood as I do now
and have them come visit me or me them proudly
without the concerns that another mouth to feed
would bring would be life changing for me and that
comes as a result of getting older. I don’t think I
could survive starting all over again a third time.
Not to mention employment choices in your 60s are
limited.
I was never one to try and “come up” on someone
else, and I was usually the one that others would
want to “come up” on and I never turned anyone down.
All times the “help” that I gave has never been
returned, and again I am not angry and I forgive
but for the love of God, I would just like the
feeling of being able to move independently. The
money to purchase a home or 2. Maybe one out here
for the winters back there and one back there for
the summers out here. I would like for my daughter
to not have to worry about me and not have to look
at me like she pitys me for what I have had to go
through and the fact that I am poor. There is no
hope in sight either. What little retirement I had
coming I started collecting this year, and it has
helped in that I have been able to pay for this house
without worrying about whether or not I will make
enough tips. But thats it after all those years of
working I am only entitled to collect $1500 a month.
No more No less. No husbands money no parents
money or insurance or home. There is not enough
money to move down the street that I’m on let alone
back to NY to be near my family sometimes.
Since there is a website called “begging for money”
I’m assuming there are people out there who are
comfortable enough financially to be able to help or
give to those in need.
No one might read this but then again someone might?
It is my hope that this written testament in it’s
very shortened version of my life, reaches someone
who understands the value in giving to those in need.
It is also my hope that should there be a person like
that out there that this write up reaches that that
person can feel the genuineness and the love and
appreciation that I have within my heart, and that
my short story comes from my heart as it does
truthfully state my hearts desire and my needs.
Please understand I wouldn’t want any help from
someone who could not really give it and also please
understand that any help that is given to me will
also help so many others that I will come in
contact with every day, be it for one reason or
another.
Lastly I want to thank you for taking the time to
read this, not to mention thank you for you and
for your kindess and grace and your willingness to
share some of your own fortune that you are able
to share.
