I was married for 27 years, I always treated her like a queen. She always controlled the money, she wanted to move to another state. I did not.

I truly did what I could to help her start out. I gave her a car and the title worth  $104,000, I still owe lots of money on this car.  I told her to take anything she wanted from the house. 6 of my friends helped her load her uhaul.  Days before she left she told me; “We needed to be separated.”  After she left, I found out, she sued me for post separation support, alimony and to pay her legal fees.

She knew I was getting ready to retire. I couldn’t afford two households.

She left me with all the bills all the debt and only $7,000 in the bank. Im a 100% disabled Marine Vet, 22 years in the Corps and amother 18 in the Gov. Working with Marines.  Where i was DEI’d out of my job.  So I  took retirement. I’ve already had to spend $22,000 on lawyers. I’m not done yet. I’m just asking people to help me with just my legal bills so I can win this and lessen the blow.  Thank you.

Help Bring Clean Water and Local Jobs to Africa by Funding Our Final Prototypes!

We’re building two low-cost water systems for families with no clean water — but we need your help to complete them.

Many Americans understand the hardship of hunger — but can you imagine not having clean water at all? Or having to ration dirty water, knowing it’s unsafe, because there are no other options?

Every day, millions of people in rural Africa rely on contaminated rivers or walk miles to reach distant boreholes just to access water far below the quality standards we take for granted. We believe this should not be the norm — and we’re doing something about it.

We are the GleanWater team, a collaboration between student innovators and a growing community initiative, focused on delivering clean water and sustainable jobs to underserved communities in Africa. While our nonprofit, Health and Wealth Development Inc., is not yet officially registered, it represents our long-term commitment to community development, sustainability, and equity. We are fully transparent about our current status, and this campaign is part of our early-stage groundwork to prove the concept, complete research, and build trust with future funders and partners.

💧What We’ve Built
GleanWater is an affordable, locally built rainwater harvesting system that turns rooftops into reliable, year-round sources of clean water. Each system includes:

A 1000L IBC tank

Rain gutter and tarp capture system

A two-stage outdoor prefiltration and filtration process

A countertop drinking filter inside the home

Designed to last 12+ years, our system provides more than just water — it creates local jobs and long-term self-sufficiency. It uses no electricity, requires only basic construction skills, and was built for ease of use and affordability in remote villages.

Our Company Will Create Jobs
We will train and pay local workers above-average wages (affordable in U.S. dollars) to install and maintain these systems. This creates high-paying jobs by local standards and keeps our operating costs low — allowing us to reach even more families in need.

Why We’re Asking for Your Help
We are at a critical point in our mission: we need your support to build and test two final prototypes that will complete our research phase.

These prototypes are essential because they address two very different housing types:

One system is designed for tin or concrete rooftops commonly found in semi-urban areas.

The other is a standalone system designed specifically for grass-roofed huts and traditional village homes where no modern roofing exists.

This second prototype is what we’re most excited about — it brings clean, filtered rainwater directly to rural and traditional communities that have been excluded from water infrastructure solutions for too long.

Your Donation Will Directly Fund:

-Materials for both prototype systems

-Field testing across varied terrain

-Local labor and trainee stipends

-Water quality testing

-Final documentation to present to NGOs and international partners

Why This Matters
With your help, we’ll complete this final testing phase and then pursue a fiscal sponsorship or NGO partnership to unlock grant funding for our full pilot in Ghana.

Once funded, we’ll immediately begin installations — bringing clean water to 40–50 homes during the pilot phase. From there, our scalable model can expand across Africa, powered by local hands and sustainable jobs.

🙏 We Need Your Help to Finish What We Started
As student innovators, we don’t have the funds to complete these prototypes ourselves — but we have the passion, the plan, and the community connections.

Please help us raise the final funds to complete our research and show the world that community-powered water solutions are not only possible — they’re scalable.

Thank you so much for helping us bring clean water to the people who need it most.

I started off this life in a terrible situation. My mother was an abusive person because of her past and bi-polar outbreaks. I was hit, belittled and made to feel like I was nothing. I was constantly humiliated and treated badly by family members and so called friends. Unfortunately, despite all of my efforts I could not beat the odds and took all of this “stuff” into my adult life. My boyfriends/husbands have treated me not much better than my family/mother did.  My boyfriends/husband have cheated, stole from me and beat me. They knew dirty cops/lawyers who put two DWI’s on my background which in my opinion stopped me from retaining a good job. My brothers convinced my mother to take away my funds for college because “I was just using my parents”. So I had to borrow the rest of the money to finish school. I was fired from jobs for no/lame reasons and encouraged to do sex videos from one past boyfriend (which I did not do) who in my opinion would have used for blackmail to get money from me (same as the DWI’s). My siblings have taken my inheritance and I was told I would get nothing. They have screwed their own mother out of her money and stuck her in a nursing home. Now I’m much older and I have no way of supporting myself because I allowed everything I had to be taken or controlled. My current situation is one of verbal abuse and control. I need the money to pay back my credit cards from taking my siblings to court to stop what they were doing/planning to my mother and myself.  However, I could not retain a high power lawyer to accomplish this and was not able to stop them. My case now sits in the court system and will never be re-addressed because of lack of funds and lack of will on my part. I am sure other people have had harder times then myself and there are other details to my situation. I have only gone into the major ones. If you could find it in your heart I would appreciate anything you could help me with. Thank you for listening!

I pray for a miracle. Our family is facing an incredibly challenging time. We’re in the midst of a difficult custody battle to protect our daughter from an abusive situation with her father. This legal battle is crucial for her safety and well-being, but it has taken a huge emotional toll on all of us. The stress and uncertainty have been overwhelming and it’s heartbreaking to see our daughter struggle. At the same time, our family business, which we rely on, has been struggling.  We’ve lost significant income due to unpaid work, a truck accident, and losing workers from Job Corps.  We’re also struggling to find new clients, which has made it difficult to keep up with mounting bills, and we’ve falling behind on payments.  In fact we’re behind on our household bills too because of all this.  The financial strain has added another layer of stress to an already difficult situation.  This combination of events has left us in a tough spot, and we’re reaching out for support.  We’re humbly asking for any support you can offer during this difficult time. We are in need of $10,000. $7,000 is the amount to get the bills all caught up to date and next month of rent.  And $3,000 is what is needed to proceed further with legal fees. Any help you can offer will go directly to these legal fees, catching up on household bills, and keeping our business afloat, allowing us to focus on our children and rebuild.  We understand that times are tough for everyone, but even a small contribution can make a big difference in our lives.  Thank you for considering our situation and any support that you can of

Hello everyone,

2024 was a very challenging time for me.  I had the first car accident on March 5, 2024 which resulted on 2 herniated bulging disc on L4 and L5, 2 more on my neck and a tear on left knee.  After therapy ended in June, I started to feel better.  Then, I had the second accident on August 20, 2024.  That one was much worst, it not only aggravated previous injuries.  It also caused more damage to my Lumbar, where I had another herniation with bulging and pressing on my nerves going down the hips, thighs and legs, aggravated my neck and knees.  The injuries refused to heal even after months of therapy, and the 4 shots.  I worked at Edible Arrangement from May 2024 up until I couldn’t anymore when the car broke down with transmission problems January 24, 2025.   My Lumbar kept getting worst where I needed surgery to get some relief from the pain and stiffness that I experienced from the surgery.  I had decompression surgery on L4 and L5 on February 5, 2025.  It’s been a healing journey since then, as of today I am still in pain and not yet recovery.  I am praying that I get better and the nerve pain subsides.  During my healing after the surgery, I have not been working given that the car had broke down  and constant pain, and not being able to sit for too long.  Bills have been accumulating although I managed to pay some of them by borrowing money that I need to pay back as soon as possible.  The person whom let my dad  borrow $2000 is my dad’s friend whom belittled me about where I am in life and felt bad about it and I guess decided to do that.  I ended up borrowing $4000 from my sister, however she needs the money to get a place to stay.   I am asking for donations because I am at the end of the rope.  This is so out of my character so this is a very difficult thing for me to do.  However, I feel like I have no other choice right now and it hurts me to feel so stuck and helpless.  I love to support people in times of need and it hurts that I am not able to support myself more or less anyone.   I have been living with my dad  since September 2024 after my uncle his brother died and after losing my place and living in the car for some months.  Truly I was a lot happier in the car because since the car broke down and the surgery it’s been a lot of mental and emotional stress living with my dad who finds pleasure in belittling me every chance he gets and I have been doing my best to protect my peace and keep our relationship alive.  This is a very challenging time for me and my request and wish is to pay months car note that are due, fix the car, get car insurance again, pay the storage and pay for cats’ sitter whom has been so kind to us to allow me to owe her, pay back money that I borrowed to pay some car notes and bills.   I had rescued these 2 wonderful cats who are so dear to my heart.  They use to live in the complex I lived in and I was taking care of them so I couldn’t leave them behind.   They lived outside at that time because I had my dog that didn’t get along with cats.  Sadly he passed away 5 days before my birthday on July 20, 2024.  That truly broke my heart.  I truly wish that the situation was different for me.  I need the donation because I am set to have another surgery for the tear on my left knee once I am cleared from the last one in August.  It may take a few more months until I am fully recovered from both surgeries and i’ll love to be able to pay the accumulated bills and upcoming ones, and be able to survive while i am honna be healing from next surgery.  It should be given to me because I am a grateful giver who dedicated my life to take care of 3 of my sisters kids from the age of 15 and been the head of household of 7 including myself.  I took care of my mom for almost 2 years when she fell ill before passing.  I’ll love the opportunity to be supported in my time of need.  I’ll love the opportunity to get better and to get back to myself and support others again.  Although I am experiencing hardship, i sill have others who depends on me in Haiti and i have not been able to assist them.  I’ll love the opportunity to get the car fix, catch up on bills that are over due and get some work done before the next surgery.  Although, I may not be able to do too much work, I can do something.  I rather try to do some work then no work at all.   Having all the accumulated debts, the upcoming ones and my dad on my back about the car because he’s the one who financed it for me is truly weighting me down.   Without those stress and pressures from these debts  I feel that i’ll be able to focus on healing and live with some peace of mind while I am still here with my dad.  I am grateful to have my dad here although it’s challenging for us.  However, i’ll love to be able to catch up on bills and not eat up all his food.  The amount that I am requesting is $10,000 that is to pay off accumulated debts and upcoming ones .  This is my story and it took me a while to finally build the courage to tell my story and ask for help.  I am usually so quick to support others and unable to get supported by others.  I am asking donors for support because I just don’t know what else to do about this and I have no one to ask.  I have been stuck with this for a moment until the idea for this fundraising donation came to mind.  Even then I have been fighting myself about doing this.  I truly don’t know what else to do that is why I am asking and praying that my story touches others whom are able, willing, happy, and grateful to support me at this time.  And if nothing comes out of this, well at least I tried because since I had this idea, I just been tormented by not doing it.  I feel that now I am left with no choice but to do it so that i get supported and to stop the tormenting thoughts about doing it.   I feel grateful because I am able to put my pride and shame  to the side and be vulnerable enough to open up and share my story.  That feels great to me because I have been suffering with this issue of not being able to open up to receive.  Thank you to everyone who took the time to read my story.  Even if you don’t donate to me just know that you taking the time to read my story is also helpful cause maybe you’ll send me some good energy and a miraculous prayer to move me forward.  Who knows maybe you’re so connected to life that your great wishes open doors for me.  Thank you so much for your kindness towards me, it truly is appreciated.  Have a bless one.  My PayPal.me link is https://www.paypal.me/Naomiejoy

writing to you today from a place of deep reflection, a place forged by experiences I wouldn’t wish upon anyone, yet experiences that have ultimately shaped me into the person I am today. Growing up, I held a naive, yet beautiful, belief in the inherent trustworthiness of the world – that family would always be a steadfast anchor, and institutions like medicine and law enforcement were there to protect and serve. Sadly, life had a harsh lesson in store for me.

There came a time when I was incredibly sick, facing what felt like insurmountable health challenges. I was desperate, begging my own family for understanding and support, yet they turned away. They abandoned me in my darkest hour, leaving me to navigate a terrifying landscape of uncontrolled emotions and a medical system that offered little solace. The pain of that abandonment was profound; it shattered my world and left me feeling utterly broken.

But even in that profound brokenness, a spark of hope ignited. I began a relentless pursuit of answers, delving into research, learning everything I could about my health and well-being. This journey of discovery, born out of necessity, led me down an unexpected path. It reignited a passion within me, a calling to teach and empower others.

Today, I am back in the classroom, pouring my heart and soul into my students. It’s an honor I don’t take lightly. I was even blessed with the incredible recognition of Teacher of the Year, a testament to the dedication I bring to my work every single day. My greatest desire is to ensure that my students never have to endure the kind of suffering I experienced. I strive to equip them with the strongest minds, the essential knowledge, and the unwavering resilience they’ll need to navigate this complex world successfully.

The path to this place has been arduous. I’ve faced significant financial burdens, a direct result of the difficult decisions I had to make during that challenging period of illness and career transition. Despite these ongoing struggles, I am committed to doing what is right, what is best, in the eyes of God, for my students, for myself, and for everyone around me.

It is with this deeply personal context that I am reaching out to you. Any support you could offer would be an immense help in alleviating the financial pressures that remain from that incredibly difficult time. It would allow me to continue focusing my energy on what truly matters: empowering the next generation and making a positive impact, ensuring that the lessons I learned through hardship can serve as a beacon for others.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. Your consideration means more than words can express.

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
