Seeking Support After First-Time DWI – At Risk of Losing My Job

I’m reaching out with a heavy heart to ask for support during one of the most difficult times in my life.

I’m currently at risk of losing my job due to my first DWI offense. It was a terrible mistake, and I take full responsibility for it. I’ve been doing everything I can to manage the legal and personal consequences—but financially, I’ve hit a wall.

To cover attorney fees, court costs, and related expenses, I need to raise $12,000. I’ve managed to gather $4,000 through savings and small loans, but I’m still short by $8,000.

I’m not looking for sympathy—I’m asking for a second chance. This moment doesn’t define me. I’m determined to make things right, keep my job, and move forward with more clarity and responsibility.

If you’re in a position to help, even a small amount would mean the world to me. Every bit truly helps. My Cash App is $nick270895.

Thank you for reading. Please consider sharing this with others who may be willing to lend a hand.

EMPOWER HER: HELP US GIVE WOMEN AND GIRLS A SECOND CHANCE AT LIFE

Empower Her: Help Us Give Women and Girls a Second Chance at Life

Dear Kindhearted Donors,

My name is Pastor Mercy Isogie, founder of Helper of Destinies Kingdom Women Influencers Network (HODKWIN) — a mission-driven initiative birthed from pain, passion, and purpose. We are a growing network committed to restoring hope, dignity, and wholeness to women and girls who are hurting, abandoned, and broken by life’s challenges.

Every day, I receive heartbreaking messages from women who have nowhere to sleep, nothing to eat, and no one to turn to. Single mothers who have been left to raise their children without support, women battling serious health conditions with no funds for treatment, young girls who have suffered abuse and emotional trauma — many of whom are on the verge of giving up completely.

At HODKWIN, we offer more than encouragement — we offer tangible support: emergency shelter, food supplies, medical assistance, trauma care, and counseling. We help women stand back on their feet, not just spiritually, but emotionally, mentally, and financially.

However, the needs have grown, and we cannot do this alone. That is why I am humbly appealing to you for help.

We are seeking to raise $5,000 to urgently assist the most vulnerable women and girls within our care. These funds will go directly into:

  • Providing accommodation for displaced single mothers

  • Supplying food, clothing, and hygiene kits for families in crisis

  • Offering medical aid for women with urgent health challenges

  • Facilitating trauma recovery and counseling for survivors of abuse

  • Empowering women with small startup support to rebuild their lives

This is not just a donation — it is a seed of hope. A chance for a woman to smile again. A pathway for a girl child to believe in her future again. Your support can be the difference between despair and deliverance.

No gift is too small, $10, $20 or $100 donations will change lives and every dollar will be accounted for and directed toward transforming lives.

Please, help us give these women and girls a second chance at life. Be part of this healing story. We are grateful for your love, your compassion, and your generosity.

With heartfelt thanks,
Pastor Mercy Isogie
Founder, HODKWIN

Desperate Teachers

My wife and I are teachers.  We have both enjoyed our choice of profession for over thirty years each.  During our careers, we have been very careful with our finances.  When we purchased a house, we had it planned where we could pay it off before retirement (which we did).  When we purchased automobiles, we took turns and paid off a vehicle before purchasing another to avoid having two car payments at one time.  It looked like we were doing everything right.  But when I got ready to retire, trouble found us.  Our home needed a few repairs, so we hired a contractor to oversee the project.  He seemed to be doing a good job at first.  Then, the issues began.  In pouring a new slab for an additional bedroom and bath, he measured incorrectly (3 feet short).  In installing a new roof over the new section, he cut the metal too short which allowed for leaks.  In subcontracting the plumbing, he did not supervise what was being done.  Well, “sewerage” doesn’t run uphill.  There were many other issues which he said would be addressed.  At the completion of the main work, he told us to make a list of problems, and he would be back to fix them.  We believed him because he stayed in constant communication and would come occasionally to fix one item at a time.  But, now he does not answer my calls or texts, and we are left holding the bag. Some of the immediate problems I had to hire someone else to fix before they caused other issues with the house.  Sadly, the minor things, we have had to learn to live with.  My fence is half down—because of the plumbing issues, my yard does not drain properly and holds water like a pond—there is no electricity to my shed anymore, etc.  The list of issues is long.

Little did I know that was only the beginning of our financial woes.  My car that I have had no problem with for 12 years “died.”  When I took it in to diagnose the problem, I was given a list.  The price to repair far exceeded the car’s worth.  While dealing with this problem, my wife was involved in a wreck with her car.  Her car was totaled.  She was in the right according to the witnesses and the deputy sheriff, but the other person’s insurance company is questioning everything.  In the meantime, we need at least one car.

In trying to deal with the house issues, the car issues, and my wife’s health issues, we have maxed out our credit card and gone through our savings.  I have taken on another job to try to help with paying off our debt, but even with that, we are struggling to make ends meet.  With such a great debt, each month is “scary.”  My wife would like to retire, but she doesn’t think she can.  We planned carefully but never thought we would be in this shape.  I also never thought I would get to the point where I would be putting my personal business on the internet and begging for help.  But, we are desperate—If we could just get back to where we have our head above water.  We dream of just being even again, so we don’t leave all this to our son who will soon be in college.  Our debt has grown to $ 258,815.76 as of today.  Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

Request for Support for Underprivileged Children

Dear Sir/Madam

I hope this message finds you well. My name is Alexander, and I am reaching out to you today with a heartfelt request for support. I am deeply concerned about the welfare of underprivileged children in our community in Africa who face numerous challenges in accessing basic necessities like education, healthcare, and nutrition.

These children often lack the resources and opportunities that many of us take for granted. Their families struggle to provide them with the support they need to thrive, and as a result, these young individuals are at risk of falling behind in their development and future prospects.

I am eager to contribute to making a positive impact on their lives, but I need your help.I believe that together, we can make a significant difference.

Here are some ways in which your support could be invaluable:

  1. Education Support: Providing educational materials, scholarships, or access to educational programs can help these children stay in school and build a brighter future.

  2. Healthcare Access: Ensuring they receive regular health check-ups and have access to medical care when needed is crucial for their well-being.

  3. Nutritional Assistance: Offering meal programs or food assistance can help combat hunger and malnutrition, allowing them to grow and develop healthily.

Your support would not only improve the lives of these children but also inspire hope and resilience within their families and communities.

Thank you for considering this request. I look forward to the possibility of working together to create a more equitable and supportive environment for these deserving children.

Warm regards,

Alexander

Desperate appeal for help to deal with debt – Sinking fast

This is a second post – my last month’s request didn’t get me any support, instead 2 or 3 reached out over email asking for upfront fees to be paid for donation & asking for personal details. Obviously scams, I ignored these emails. Realized that the original post was very cryptic (purposely so as to avoid inconveniencing everybody with my sob story)  & also that I needed to share of myself for people to know me & to want to help. In today’s times, one cannot be too careful. Hence, waited for a month to get the $20 to repost this, hoping to get some attention & much desperately needed help.
I find myself in a situation where my loan installments far exceed my salary. Dealing with the bank’s collections department is taking a toll. I hope my story below shows that I have done everything in my power to come up on top of the situation. The cycle of ongoing debt, mostly due to medical issues, trying to get on top of the situation through few ventures, facing financial challenges in those & being saddled with medical bills intermittently without any warning contributed to my current situation. In short, my debt kept increasing.
In the spirit of full disclosure, I would like to state that I am just a human being (no saint) who underwent emotional, financial turmoil, never giving up & always trying to get on top of the situation & get a better life for my family & myself. However, I have made errors in judgement. I realize that I am not entitled but seek to reach out to your kindness. Your help will get me out of a sticky situation. 
Always have battled it out. Never thought of giving up or accepting defeat, while trying my best to give back to society – apart from individual assistance given whenever possible, setting up the Haemophilia Foundation of Uganda with help/guidance from Laurie Kelly. This was during a short stint of 9 months in the country. Later when we left, we handed over the foundation in capable hands. Joseph had taken this forward in a very good way with help from Laurie. I hear that he later became a MP in the Ugandan Parliament & the foundation’s work is handled by his sister.
This is very gratifying & I felt a sense of fulfillment, to be one of God’s instruments in getting this done.
Pursuant to the above, I commit that any excess donations received will be shared with others who are in need.
Please find links & screenshots (if allowed by the site) below.
In an attempt towards sharing myself, here’s my story.
In 2002, we were blessed with a baby boy. This was our second child, the first being my daughter who was delivered naturally & was healthy.
With the immense pleasure that his birth bought with it, I soon realised that it came with challenges & few tests for us.
My wife was hospitalized for a period of 2.5 months following the birth & needed to undergo 3 surgeries.
Within a couple of hours of giving birth via C-section, the doctor advised me that she was bleeding internally & needed to be shifted to a secondary hospital. There, a second surgery was carried out & an emergency hysterectomy was performed because the doctor said that when they opened her up (doc speak), there was a lake of blood in her stomach area & that if they wasted anytime searching for the source of the bleed, we may lose her. The surgeon informed that she needed to be monitored for urine output. If that was low, it would mean that she had developed complications & would need further attention.
Meanwhile, on son’s front, on his second day on this planet, he developed a huge bulge on the right side of his head & needed to be moved to a NICU in a third hospital (paediatric hospital). He was kept ina glass cage with a red or blue light on him. Not a medico but I guess that was UV. He was later discharged a month down the line.
Not without an emotional test – one week after the delivery, I was advised by both the teams of doctors (my wife’s & son’s) to let them pass on. Since I wasn’t (still am not) capable of taking decisions for God, I refused to consent.
Moreover, when they were fighting it out, how could I as a husband & father withdraw. I remember going to the NICU window & silently asking my son what he thought of the doctor’s advice. He flicked a finger & my decision was sealed :D
On the wife’s front – the next day (3rd day after birth), her urine output was below 100 ml in 24 hours & doctors advised us to move her to a tertiary hospital for further care.
Then started our tryst in a multi-speciality hospital’s ICU (where she spend the most time). Her kidney function was already down & dialysis started. Her platelets kept dropping down to dangerous levels (in the range of 8000 if I recollect correctly). I soon learnt that there were 4-5 different blood products – Whole blood, RBC, WBC, Plasma and Cryoprecipitates (these were not in much use back then & needed a MD specialist to advise the doctors to start her on Cryo). She needed to be infused with one of these every 4-6 hours to sustain her platelet count.
She went through a plethora of medical issues – heart, loss of peripheral vision, liver failure (prompting the doctor to advise me to let her pass).
Somewhere during all this, the MD specialist was called on for his opinion & he advised the doctors to immediately start her on cryoprecipitates. Her platelet count started improving after Cryo & we heaved a collective sigh of relief.
However, the challenges were not over.
On the 21st day, she underwent a third surgery to remedy a sudden vaginal bleed.
After 2.5 months in the hospital, we returned back home, she was a physical wreck, me a financial wreck but very grateful that we were together. Slowly settled down, coming to terms & taking stock of the situation.
This was the first time I incurred a huge debt & didn’t realize then that this would become a lifestyle for me.
When my son was 6 months later, we discovered that he had hemophilia. Thinking back, this was the cause for the huge bulge on his head on the day after birth.
This felt like a death blow – somehow we had come to terms & were trying to pay back the loans & trying to get on top of the situation (the intent was very clear). This seemed to be crushing all hopes.
We soon realized that hemophilia was incurable & that my son would need factors for the rest of his life & that the dosage would increase with his weight.
In India, we do have a Hemophilia Foundation who get factors (some fresh but mostly expired). Since the afflicted population was huge, they charge people who can pay for the factor while giving the poor treatment free of cost or at discount.
Thus started the cycle of paying from future salaries for his factors. Moreover, these are expired factors that we were paying through our nose for.
Thus, the cycle of ongoing debt, trying to get on top of the situation through few ventures, facing financial challenges in those & being saddled with medical bills intermittently without any warning. In short, my debt kept increasing.
In 2008, I got to consult for 6-9 months for a company in Uganda. When the proposal came, I searched for support for my son. However, I found that there was no support for PWHs (Person with Hemophilia) in Uganda. Two months prior to departure for Uganda, I started writing to any email address I could lay my hands on. Though nothing concrete came out of these efforts & finding ourselves very close to the departure date, we took a leap of faith & left for Uganda. The first thing to strike was the pristine beauty of the country whilst the stark poverty for most also was evident. Slowly, the need to provide support to my son turned into a burning desire to do something for the PWHs in the country. A month after reaching Kampala, I came across a blog by Laurie Kelly & wrote to her. To our absolute desire, she responded & we started the journey. As we progressed, more good hearts joined. We had to leave the country soon but am happy that the HFU is helping PWHs across Uganda. For a more detailed account of the journey, please visit https://haemophiliauganda.blogspot.com/  & please read all old posts.
Though spiritual my entire life, Bruno Groening decided to allow me into his Bruno Groening Circle of Friends & gave it a deeper meaning & understanding. I remember feeling peace for the first time after everything started.
Now, I am 56 years old & will have to retire in another 4 years, Having spent my life taking care of my sick son’s medical bills, children’s education & going through the emotional roller coaster mentioned above, I find myself close to retirement & drowning in debt. No house of our own yet & having lost family, I am left alone to tackle my debts & life.
I seek help in paying off my debts only, totaling to $35,000, so that I may get on with the task of rebuilding my life. I seek help from kind souls to pay off said debts. I would like to celebrate this life, which is God’s gift & hence request kind souls to help me pay off my debts.
I pray to God to bless everyone & wish all the very best in life!

Warm regards to all!

Retired credit card debt

I retired 4 years ago. I sold the house I had, and bought a house in another city to be close to my family. I had enough money buy the new house and a some money left over. When I was working I always had enough to pay for everything I needed. The problem was now I had half the income and no background in budgeting or money management. Buying what I wanted was an old habit and I found it hard to resist even though I knew things had to change. I did research on money management for advise on ways to change. The one interesting thing I found was consumerism which is what the stores and others lead you into buying things and it becomes like an addiction. You do it to make yourself feel better. I got myself up to 13,000.00 dollars before I got better control of myself. Now my balances are going down, but very slowly. The payments reduce my income which makes it harder and paying them off will now take a long time. So if any kind soul can help me out I would deeply appreciate it.                                                                                                                  paypal.me@stevekelly2202

Replaced sewer line

About 10 years ago or so I was told I should replace my sewer line as there were breaks and tree roots in the line. I could not afford to at the time. A few months back my line clogged and I snaked it out like I had been doing regularly. The next day it was nearly completely blocked again and had to have a plumber look at it. He said I really needed my sewer line replaced, and they cleared it out and inspected and told me it could be relined as it was cheaper than having it replaced. I opted for that. I figured about 5000 dollars in cost. He quoted me 16000 dollars. I figured I had no choice, and was able to get financing , but with what I could afford it was 206 dollars a month for 15 years, meaning after it’s paid for I would pay around 20000 in interest. I’m also still paying for the electrical panel I had to have replaced in the basement about a year and a half ago. Other work needs to be done on my house but can’t afford it right now. I am hoping some generous souls could help me pay at least some of amount I owe on my sewer line so I could get it paid off quicker and not have to pay such a high amount of interest. Also I’m almost 60 years old, and by the time it’s paid I’ll be 75.

Thank you in advance for any help you can give.

I WORKED FROM POOR TO RICH – until I lost EVERYTHING, caring about others…

I am so ashamed of doing this…

But I have a family relying on me, and lots more in desperate need, who are – because of my reputation for caring and providing – looking at me for help.

I HAVE to put my pride in my pocket and appeal to ANYONE who can help – in ANY way.

I am NOT a scammer or an opportunist, and I am battling with THIS extremely humiliating act of appeal for altruism and benevolence – it’s NOT who I am. I grew up with nothing, and all of the wealth I once had, was earned through hard work and perseverance. And ironically, lost the same way…

So if you are wealthy, consider my story and imagine all of this happening to you. Believe me – if you think it can’t, I used to think that too.
So, if you are reading this,

THANK YOU,

even just for reading. Whether you are in a position to help with a donation or some other solution or not, knowing that I have the opportunity to tell my story to an audience with members altruistic enough to even look at something like this, gives me a glimmer of hope in an otherwise ever-darkening world.

My apologies – even though I am attempting to keep this short, the need for some background and explanation makes it a bit long-winded, but I do not want anyone to lose the essence of who I am or the sincerity of my desperation in doing this. The long explanation also compounds the fact that although any donations at this stage would be a God-send, ANY act of altruism such as gainful employment or a business-opportunity where my skills and / or experience could be useful, would be more than welcome.

My Story…

I was born into a poor South African family, under bad domestic circumstances. I was not my mother’s husband’s child, something which I only learnt shortly before their deaths. This caused all sorts of resentments, which only seemed more profoundly true once they actually had my younger brother. Long story short, I was NOT the favourite child, and grew up basically without encouragement or support.

Having no funding or other options to study further, I joined the Army as a career-soldier and later transferred to being a career-policeman – careers which did not require further education, other than the training provided.

I was good in these military environments, as it gave me structure, discipline and a constant need to perform, to be better (something which wasn’t encouraged in my childhood). My skills eventually led me to the private sector where there was a lot more money to be made as a military contractor, which direction I pursued for a number of years.

Eventually, I realised that my career was somewhat self-defeating, and as I had made enough money to fund my own further studies, I pursued further professional education in Psychology, which opened amazing avenues of potential. My previous military experience gave me a unique insight into people in all sorts of situations, and – combined with the new knowledge in psychology – made me a sought-after consultant for large international corporations in all sorts of scenarios. I became known as a “Solutions-Engineer” and basically wrote my own pay-check… I became very wealthy doing this, and travelled all over the world, resolving workforce and management-issues for a wide variety of clients.

During 2017, I realised that my father (my mother’s husband and the only ‘father’ I ever knew) had become quite frail, and could no longer adequately survive unassisted. As my mother had divorced him and remarried some years earlier, my younger brother was elsewhere in the country and I was frequently travelling internationally, I found him accommodation in a retirement-orientated community home, which was where he insisted he wanted to be.

This home also accommodated disenfranchised elderly – the destitute old people who had been ‘thrown away’ by their families, and could not afford to live in proper retirement facilities. It was run down, a part of the building had collapsed, a large part of the 235-room building had not had hot water for 11 years, and some rooms had not had any water for 4 years.

While waiting for visas and a contract to start a large project in Belize, I gradually got involved in the social aspects of the home. I volunteered and started doing exercise-programs with the elderly, organised social events and offered my services to take them to doctors and medical facilities – all for free.

A short while later, I was informed that this business was closing down, as the current management were retiring and they (the board) could not afford to hire new management, nor maintain any aspects of the business any longer.

So, having built close relationships with most of the residents, I saw the anguish they went through at this prospect, and decided to do something about it. I volunteered to take over the business, run it personally and do all the necessary repairs, maintenance and upgrades myself. I officially took over during 2018.

Over the next three years, I invested most of my own personal funds in doing just that.

At this stage, the longest serving director on the board approached me and asked for my help. According to him, the board and its practices were corrupt, and he was no longer prepared to stand by and see the business and the residents in the building having to suffer the consequences thereof. His concern was also as regards the amount of my personal funds I had already invested in the business, and that if we DIDN’T do something, I would never get it back… Having served as a member of the board for 22 years, he had all the relevant information to prove their corruption and malpractice, but needed my help to substantiate how much the business had improved since it was being run openly and transparently, and as comparison to what had been going on there before I took over. For instance:

  • When I took over, the occupancy-rate was 32%. Within 7 months, we had improved the business so much that occupancy was at 99%.
  • Before, an average of 66 people had died per year there – mainly due to lack of care and medical attention. I had converted an entire floor to Frail Care and Assisted Living and built a Dementia / Alzheimers wing, with nursing staff on duty 24 hours per day. I had bought two small busses to be able to ferry people to doctors, clinics and hospitals and had a service-contract with a private ambulance-service. Consequently, deaths reduced to 22 in my first year, 14 in the second year, and only 7 in the third year – in the midst of Covid-19.
  • The collapsed parts of the building and the swimming pool were rebuilt and / or repaired.
  • All the original plumbing and central boiler-system was removed and replaced with more modern, power-saving single point of use water-heaters.
  • The grounds were cleaned and landscaped, with collapsed walls removed and new retaining structures installed.
  • The previous badly run, badly manipulated financial management-systems were cast out and replaced with an online, live accounting system, and all finances and assets were continuously tracked.

He registered a case against the board, and the fight was on. As the case was about to go to court, this director and I both contracted Covid-19… he didn’t make it.

With him no longer able to help pursue the matter to its intended conclusion with his personal witness-evidence, my legal team advised me to walk away from it, which I did. I had no way of reclaiming the money I had spent on the business.

Immediately, a group of the residents came to me and asked me whether I would consider opening another similar facility – they were simply no longer prepared to stay there if I left. I took the rest of what I had left of my personal wealth and did exactly that. My ‘father’ moved with.

Now, the problem with elderly people is that ultimately, they don’t last… I saw them all passing away and the meagre amount they contributed to their own survival dwindle even further (the agreement was that they would pay as much as they could afford, hoping that we would become large enough to qualify as an NPO, with welfare funding).

In 2023, one of my elderly residents suddenly became ill and was admitted to hospital. As her medical aid only provided for admission to a government-hospital, that was where she went. The treatment and care was absolutely dismal, and after consultation with her family (all overseas), I moved her to a private hospital, where she would receive better care – the family had agreed to pay the bill. It was too late for her though, and she passed away in hospital three weeks later.

The family was suddenly nowhere to be seen, and as I had admitted her to the hospital, I was responsible for the considerably large account. I paid it.

Six months later, on 01 February 2024, my ‘father’ had a massive stroke, caused by what was later discovered to be a frontal lobe tumour. As he had good medical aid (comprehensive all-cover, or so we thought), he was admitted to the same private hospital. He spent two months in intensive care and died on 01 April 2024. The medical aid only covered the first week in intensive care – the rest of the account was mine to pay – an astronomical amount. Even though he and my mother had not spoken to each other for 40 years, she died 5 days later, on 06 April 2024.

After having paid all medical costs, debts and funeral arrangements for both, I have nothing left. I had to close my business, sell most of my assets, move into rented accommodation and sell my own luxury vehicle.

I went from owning a top of the range Range Rover (which I drove), a 3-series BMW (which my father drove), a 5-series BMW (which my mother drove), a beachfront house (where my mother and her husband had lived), a small farm and a large house (in which my residents were housed) to nothing – not even transport – in seemingly a blink of an eye. My bank accounts and credit cards are depleted to the point where I am not even answering my phone anymore, for fear that it is just another debt-collector calling.

I am in a committed relationship with a widow with 3 children, ages 17, 15 and 5, all who co-habit with me in my rented house. We were supposed to have gotten married already, but I am not prepared to commit to a marriage where I cannot afford to provide for those in my house.

I have now run out of things to sell, and there is no food left. School-fees have not been paid, and I cannot afford to pay the rent for next month. Even though my fiancé does work, this is only a half-day job, and it is only enough to survive for about a week in the month.

I have been working ceaselessly at starting my own monetized Youtube-channel, but anyone who has tried this will tell you that it takes a long time before that actually starts paying. I have applied for an endless number of jobs, but I am a 58 year old white man in South Africa (I am NOT making a political statement, simply outlining the circumstances) – I am too old, too white and too qualified to be employed here – companies are essentially penalised for employing white persons.

I have even done odd maintenance jobs for the local community, such as putting up fences, welding, plumbing, building and servicing and repairing ride-on mowers in an effort to bring in SOMETHING. Small community though, and there is not enough work to do to survive, or enough money to pay for it.

 

I NEED HELP!!!

Please – I just need a bit of kindness and consideration for a change. While I understand that there are HEROES who would give without expecting recompense, I would prefer if they could at least send me an email address, so I could – at the absolute very least – offer my heartfelt gratitude for their kindness.

PLEASE! If there is anyone left in this world who is still prepared to look after someone in need like I did (and lost everything because of it), I beg of you… if at all possible, I WILL repay you. I just need to survive and keep myself and my family under a roof for a little while longer, while I try to get a sustainable income from Youtube or elsewhere to perhaps once again look at restarting my business.

Thank you for reading my story… And IF you decide to help me,

THANK YOU!

You are my hero…

Facing Loss, Illness, and Uncertainty – A Family’s Plea for Help

Facing Loss, Illness, and Uncertainty – A Family’s Plea for Help

Dear Potential Supporters,

I hope this message finds you well. This is the first time I have ever reached out for help, and it is not easy for me. Since the day after I graduated in 2002, I have been on my own and have always been an industrious worker and very determined. This is the first time since then that I have not had a job, and my family and I are navigating a challenging time.

In October, I lost my job due to the company’s struggles, and since then, we have been trying to find our way forward. My dad, whose health is failing, lives in New Mexico, and our goal is to move back there to be with him. This move is crucial not only for me but for my wife and our four children, who have been my constant source of strength during these trying times.

For over two decades, I have worked in waterproofing and foundation repair, but due to multiple injuries, I am unable to continue in this line of work. On top of that, I have faced a series of personal hardships. My family has endured many losses over the years, from my grandparents to my brother, and most recently, my mother in 2021. Just one week after my mother passed, I was diagnosed with an incurable illness, making an already difficult time even harder. My health challenges have only added to the obstacles we are facing as we try to rebuild our lives.

Our current home is on the market, but before we can sell it, we need to make essential repairs. The funds we raise will help us complete these repairs, scout for properties in New Mexico, and ensure we have a stable place to move to. Additionally, I need to repair my vehicles so that I can travel to New Mexico and find a suitable property for my family. I hope to find a job and get established there before moving my family, so we have some security.

Looking forward, I am hopeful about the opportunities that await us in New Mexico. Reconnecting with my dad and building a new life there gives me hope. My family and I will be forever grateful for any support you can provide on this journey.

Help me support my dream & make it tangible.

I recently quit my job due to a terrible, hostile, and harassing environment I experienced, and unfortunately, it was an extreme and difficult decision I made. I am a single female and don’t have financial support

I am posting this because this website came out of nowhere on my Google browser, and I am taking it as a sign to “just do it”. Ask for help. As the law of attraction states, I have to learn to ask for help and receive all that is to come for me.

I have created a floral business venture since I was a teenager and have been working on it throughout the years. I have done wedding florals, daily arrangements, funerals, you name it. I also started doing floral workshops, teaching people about the beauty of botany and creating long-lasting floral pieces for people to enjoy and love.

 

I am asking for money to get my floral workshops rolling starting this month of March, and I intend to host them all year long. I am now fully unemployed and am focusing on my dream, my passion to go on full force with my business endeavors, but I’m broke. I have $100 in my bank account and quite frankly, I am purely walking on faith every single day because although, I am being confident working every single day for over 12hrs on my business desires and ventures, I am still lacking money to pay for my rent, food, utilities, my phone also.

 

So, i need help for both. I need help funding my personal necessities temporarily (rent $1,600/monthly, food $300/monthly, utilities (phone, gas, electric) $400/monthly) until my workshops kick in full time and I need money to buy all the necessary inventory I need to launch my floral workshops too.

 

Thank you for this time you allow me to express myself and listen to my pettition. I am confident there are angels on this site and I am receive all the blessings that belong to me via this site.

 

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.

URGENT HELP NEEDED: Struggling Family Abroad After Job Loss and Scam

Dear Kindhearted Souls,

I never imagined myself in this position, but life has taken unexpected turns, and I find myself in desperate need of help. I humbly ask for your generosity and kindness as my family navigates an incredibly difficult time.

I moved to Malaysia with my husband and son, full of hope and excitement for new opportunities. I had secured a job that allowed us to settle in and provide a stable life for our child, who is currently studying here. However, everything changed suddenly—I lost my job, and as if that wasn’t devastating enough, I also fell victim to a financial scam that drained what little savings we had left.

Now, we find ourselves stuck in a foreign country with no income, unable to plan our next steps. My son’s education is important, and I don’t want his future to suffer because of our current hardships. My husband and I are actively searching for work, but the process has been slow and difficult, and we are struggling to make ends meet in the meantime.  I have created a YouTube channel, but it is not earning yet.

Every day is a challenge—rent, food, and daily expenses are piling up, and we are running out of options. We are far from family and familiar support systems, making this an even more isolating and terrifying experience. Despite our hardships, I am determined to keep my family afloat and get back on my feet, but we need help to survive this storm.

I am reaching out to kind strangers, hoping that someone can extend a helping hand during this dark time. Any contribution, no matter how small, will go directly toward rent, food, and essential expenses while I continue to search for a stable job. Your generosity would mean the world to us and give us a fighting chance to rebuild our lives.

If you can find it in your heart to help, we would be eternally grateful. If you cannot donate, please consider sharing our story with others who may be able to assist.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story. Your kindness and support give us hope that better days are ahead.
