My life is heading towards a dark path. I feel like I am wasting my time in college. My name is Max G J. I am a woman who is striving to become a computer programmer. The classes I am taking is stressing me out, and I feel like I spend most of my free time trying to catch up with work or studying for exams. And these classes are not even related to coding. I have had depressive episodes where thoughts of suicide came to mind. (Don’t worry I have a therapist and psychiatrist.)

The one class that is about programming is giving me materials I have already learned on my own. I was having so much fun learning on my own before… I made a mistake. But I didn’t have a job, nor can I get a job. I have social anxiety, which makes it harder for me being in college. But it is easier than having to confront people in person every day at a job. I like the idea of having a programming job since I don’t have to face people.

I want to have that passion I had when I started programming, but after three years of going to college, I seem to have lost it. The only thing stopping me is money. The only reason I went to college is so I can get a job after, but treehouse is offering a tech degree.

I used treehouse before and learned how to efficiently use python. I would be happy of taking any of those tracks for the degree. (Maybe except for iOS dev)

I also have some debt to pay off so I can get my own place. I made the mistake of trusting my mother to pay off my credit card when I was younger. She had also forced me to open more credit cards promising the same things. I want to get out of this place and become a programmer.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I would appreciate if you help me out with this.

Hello People,
I tend to think we’ve done a pretty good job raising 4 kids. This is about our oldest daughter, Joslyn. We call her Dr. Joz ( a bit of a play on the person, Dr. Oz). Anyway, she’s funny, quirky, artistic, athletic, goofy and surprisingly to her Dad and I, extraordinarily brilliant. Her level of intelligence always had us joking that our real baby must have been stolen from the nursery and they brought us Joz instead. She’s so fortunate to be this gifted.

From a family of sarcasm and occasional hardship (always humor — it’s the best medicine), she’s grown into a human to be proud of. She pours her heart out to animals, she loves nature and spends much of her time there, she has a special needs brother and has been a big advocate for him, has volunteered well over 300+ hours just in the past 3 years. In addition, she really blew us out of the water by graduating high school with honors and earning a very competitive Pay-It-Forward full ride scholarship into college. Only 2 students per YEAR earn this scholarship, and our Dr. Joz was one of them :O What a blessing. Lord knows we could not afford a pre-med university.

Our plan has always been to CELEBRATE her with a trip to Las Vegas for her 21st birthday. And dagnabbit, obstacles and unexpectedness keeps jumping in our way of planning this for her. We want, so badly, to honor her success and take joy in her accomplishments in such a different, unique and magical place — much like she is. Flying would be great (because she’ll be in school and only have a weekend) but we’re willing to drive our car just to make it happen. With 3 other kids, one special needs, ugh, I guess it’s breaking my heart more than anything facing the fact that this probably won’t happen. Yes, there’s other ways to celebrate, and honestly, she would be grateful for any of them. That’s Joz <3 For me, as a Mom who’s gotten my kids by with the basics, I just want this one spectacular moment for her, with her Dad and I. She’s got such a long, hard medical road ahead of her to become a Trauma Surgeon, that time for trips like this will become less and less possible. We’d love this one last Hurrah! before Joz is stuck in the realm of “adulting” for a long while ;)
Thank you to anyone who may consider helping us out, Truly, THANK YOU,
Joslyn’s Grateful Mama

My name is Nikolai Martin. I am coming humbly to you all by chance. I am asking for a donation of $15,000 but I will humbly accept anything given to me at this point. My mom has been diagnosed with ALS which is a  terrible disease that destroys your nerves and muscle functions. There is no known cure. Just last year she was able to function without help but as of today I’m seeing her health go rather quicker than normal. I came up with a Patent which I am calling Project Blind which needs donations and funds to keep it going so that my Patent can support the funds for ALS Research. This is very important to me because I’m not one to ask for help but seeing my mom like this, a woman who has a huge heart and adopted me when I was three. I need to do this. I came up with this patent randomly, my manger knows and projects this to be huge especially incorporating GOOGLE, APPLE, And AMAZON. I do have a go fund me page but I’m not having success and will need to delete it. I’m having a rough time period with My mom not doing well at all, this patent not being funded, bills that I’m getting behind on, debts that need to be paid. I know there’s hope but I’m Starting to lose it with all these negatives in my life. I work a lot, I’m barely home, I help take care of my mom and do things around their house to help out. I need a chance for once, I feel like I give and give and in the end I’m struggling. Please, I’m asking for help and support. Thank you so much for your time at least.

Hi my name is Travis Bertrand. I am a homeless Veteran. I was in OIF5 2007-2008. I’ve been bullied my whole life and the only way I know how to handle it is by fighting but I’m tired of fighting every time someone disrespects me. My true goal is to become enlightened, I want to become a vegan and even though I’m about to be 31 years old I still want to play basketball for a team of some sort. I never had any stability growing up and I use that as an excuse for why my life is so messed up. I feel like I could have been a professional baseball player if I could have just lived in one place for a while without moving every year. When I joined the army I was excited because it gave me a chance to start fresh and save money but when I finished basic training I had to find out that I had negative 187 dollars in my account because my mom was sent my debit card and she emptied it out and didn’t even tell me. I opened up a checking account the day right before I got shipped off so the debit card had to get sent to my moms house while I was in basic training. After that I switched banks and started over again because I figured it was just a minor set back, I still felt I could make it in the army because I was doing good and ranking up fast but when I got to my first duty station, I guess they didn’t like that and there came the bullying and next thing you know I started getting into trouble. There is so much I can tell you that it’s not even funny. When I was 14 years old I saved up 200 dollars and told my mom that I wanted to put it in a bank. So we went and opened up a savings account. When we moved from the state a year later I had asked my mom if we could get the money out so that I could take it with me, she yelled at me and said it wasn’t there. Basically every time I get ahead in life someone or something always pushes me back and now that I don’t have any money or job to offer my family, they decide that I’m a bum and they don’t talk to me anymore. I’ve worked hard my whole life and every thing gets taken from me because they know that I won’t do nothing about it. I let them take advantage of me because they are my family and they know that and they use that against me. I just want a loan for ten thousand but the banks won’t loan it to me. I know what to do now in my life. I will even write up a promissory note so that I could be sure to pay back anyone who could loan me that amount of money. I’m just trying to get my own place so that I can work from home because I already have an online job testing websites but I need reliable internet and my own place to work. I got five star ratings on two sites and there is at least nine more sites I can make money from. I can prove everything. I have my dd214 from the army and I can show you my emails of all the tests that I have to pass up because I don’t have my own place. paypal.me/Travis343

So…

When I started dating a guy and was the first man I got involved with after not being with on in about five years. Just to be with him I lived outside in 14° wether no friends nor family just him and I. We finally got into a place but it was no home sweet home believe me you. And for a few years live without water or electricity. Very rocky times. Many blood sheds. Trips to the hospital and falling behind a few years on tv, movies, music, and even world or local current events.I wanna find joy in things again. See my self worth have my old drive and motivation back.. See familiar faces. Go places and get more then I thought at one time was never possible. But this year I wanna do something different.. Every year for sense I can remember I haven’t been given holidays or birthdays.. My birthday is right around the corner.I wanna have some cake. maybe eat an ice cream. put on a brand new Pair of socks. And be live it or not yes even buy deodorant to wear. I just wanna smile and know that I am a person. And I do deserve a chance at living a life as a human.. Most all I just wanna smile.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post. Any help offered is greatly appreciated no matter how big or small.

I am embarrassed to be asking for help but feel I have no other options at this time.

I have worked a full time job since I was seventeen. I am responsible, try to give back to the community by volunteering, and generally do unto others.

I decided I wanted to persue my dream of going to college and nursing school five years ago. I worked full time, obtained two associates degrees with high honors, and completed two medical internships in persuit of this dream.

Although employed full time I have wracked up $25,000 in debt paying for living expenses, food, books, applications and more. I share an apartment with a roommate to keep costs down, sell my old clothes and by used ones, I do not travel or spend on frivolous items. I live in an area where the average poverty level is $59,000 per year.

Part of returning to school was so I could leave this area and the other to have a position where I do not have to live pay check to paycheck despite working hard.

At this time I am waiting to hear back from the schools I have applied. Unfortunately, even if I beat the odds and get into nursing school I will not be able to attend due to my financial situation.

This is soul crushing after the work I have put it. No matter how much I cut back it is never enough with my current debt. I feel stressed all the time, despondent at times.

Please help.

Hello there! My name is Alice, and I am an aspiring artist whose heart is brimming with ideas that are aching to be released into corporeal form. I believe that I was always gifted with a creative soul, but not only till recently did I develop the confidence and self-awareness to nurture this gift. I now believe to the depths of my being that I was born to share this gift with the world.

I had a conversation with an older gentleman recently who was reading a book. He shared a quote with me that was highlighted in the book. The quote went something like this: “In this world of chaos and confusion, we have no choice but to create beauty in whatever way we possibly can.” Another mentor of mine has told me that “the only way to experience the sweetest of sweets is to taste the most bitter of bitters.” Both of these quotes resonate deeply with me because in my personal journey through life, I have learned that the only way to learn how to truly appreciate beauty is to embrace the reality of chaos, confusion, and pain in our world.

Looking back on my life, I see that the darkest moments where I have dealt with fear, hopelessness, and doubt have actually been crucial experiences that have trained me to search for and discover beauty in the most unexpected places. Through my life experiences, I have developed an artistic vision that is deeply integrated with my life purpose to usher in love, hope, joy, and strength for others who may have their own battles to go through in this world.

I am so grateful that somehow– as I walked through life’s hills and valleys– I came to discover this purpose and gain so much clarity about what I was born to do! And out of pure gratitude and joy, I want so much to share whatever beauty I have the strength to conjure up with others– through art, through fashion, through music, through written words, through dance, through service. With all that said, I would like to ask you– with the most sincere intention: Would you consider supporting my cause to bring hope, beauty, and joy into our world?

If you would like to support my cause to create beauty in whatever way I possibly can in this chaotic and confusing world, please consider gifting me with a donation through my paypal link provided below. Any amount is deeply appreciated, and I pledge that every cent I receive will be spent with consciousness, love, and care. Your generous offering will be part of a contribution to the financial freedom of an aspiring artist who is devoted to her life calling. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart!

With love and hope,

Alice Kim

Hello My family and I have been working really hard to get some money up and go on a nice cruise for once but sadly sometimes we had to take that money and put it towards something else important. We’ve been looking forward to this trip and will greatly appreciate if we can get just a little help. Thank you.

About two years ago in October  I met a fantastic young women and after a very short period  of dating she became pregnant. Twenty years old and freaking out I openly accepted that I had a huge responsibility  coming and began to work towards how I was going to provide. Working and keeping in contact with my daughters mom was my main priority. Given the distance (4.5hrs )between us this was extremely  hard but for a bit we made it work. As three months pass I’m becoming less fearful and more excited. When I get off work one Saturday I dial my phone out to call the mother of my daughter and I get a prompted voice message that the number isn’t on service. Thinking she made need some help with financial necessities, I attempt reach out to her via social media only to find shes blocked me from instagram to facebook. As you can imagine my mind is completely racing.  So then I decided to dial a mutual friend of our to see whats going on. When the mutual friend  responded that she had been blocked too I didn’t know what think. Questioning truths and falsies. Decided I should call from a different number and so I did. Only to find that the same message would play. She had changed her number. For weeks and months having everyone call and add her on social media with no luck. I sat and pondered whether I really had a daughter out there. Never meeting my father until I was 15. This had a impact on me so me not knowing what was going on was killing me. Fast forward about 7 months  of literally google searching, paying for background checks, and cross searching pictures. Child support was the only way I could guarantee she couldn’t keep this possibility from me and so I filed and was finally able to receive a DNA test which I payed for. Still all the while never talking to my daughters mother during this whole process of filing because I had no way. Finally we speak prior to our mediation she has no excuse or reasoning why she did what she did. When in the mediation I am told that not only can my daughter not carry my last name but that there are no set visitation rights at the time. Giving the control in the hands of someone who ignored me for a year never told me when my daughter was born I found out through the mail after confirming the dna test. Wait.. it gets better for the time I was absent .. 2500 in back child support for.. despite my attempts and my daughters mother avoiding and ignoring. I was being an absent father. Five times I been able to see my daughter for short periods of time. My daughter who I didn’t meet until she almost a year. For what? Me and my daughters mom had never spent more than two days together in that two months before my daughter. Anyway.. 565$ a month is what I am paying and I don’t complain.. I say nothing when short notice cancels happen or when I am ignored for weeks. Never am I unpleasant. Why am I being punished. I am reaching out for help because I want to take care of the back child support as well as obtain a decent family lawyer ( which I found is nearly impossible for a dad who doesn’t have 3000 up front in Oklahoma) any help would be greatly appreciated. I simply am a dad wanting desperately to be in his daughters life. Daughters need there dad. I’m missing so much and your help will help me get my custody case rolling. Christmas day my visit was cancelled due to some excuse and i asked months ahead. I want to establish fair visitation that’s all be a good dad. Once again any help would be great thank you in advance.

Sincerely,

A caring and loving father.

(Didn’t originally post. Probably because I didn’t put in enough words. My bad!)

Ok, so I’ll try not to bore you with the details of my story. I never knew my biological father. He died before I could meet him. My adoptive father decided to help raise me with my mother. The two always fought and divorced when I was eight. Ever since, they’ve pitted me against each other and for a while, I took my dad’s side. But mom eventually changed for the better, so I became neutral to their arguments. I was diagnosed with depression, anxiety, and ADD later on in life. The depression mostly came from their divorce, fighting, friends leaving me, being bullied, etc.

I’ve done everything in my power to try to make myself happy. Coloring, singing, video games, making jewelry, going on dates, the list goes on. But no matter how hard I try, I just can’t be happy. Believe me when I say I tried to hold on a job to get the money. I just quit because it stressed me out and hurt my weak back.

At one point, I ended up with baby fever and my inner nurturer needed to come out. I tried using a baby doll to get my urge out, since I can’t afford to be pregnant at this time (my current step father would throw me out since he’s been emotionally and mentally abusive in the past.).

However, it didn’t feel the same, which made me upset. Eventually, I came across these realistic dolls called Reborn dolls. They’re not robotic usually, but some come with more features than others. I heard that interacting with them is better, therapeutic, and even helps with Alzheimer’s patients. So I thought, ‘Why not have a couple?’ The problem, however, is that they’re a little expensive. Usually over $100. And at the moment, I’m trying to get a job and have not been successful so far. So, I would really appreciate the help in getting them. I also need rent money so I can play with the dolls in peace in my own place and away from my step-father’s judgement. I know that I’m not the most in need of help, but I would even appreciate getting a dollar a time.

Would any of you please help me?

As a young girl with a huge heart and a drive and ambition of someone determined to make a difference and change the world, i want to start giving back to the senior citizens, single parents, those living with illnesses, those who are disabled, or anybody less fortunate who may not be able to afford the services and such i want to be able to assist them with. Life is tough, and here in Minnesota, its even tougher when you cant afford simple things that so many of us take for granted. my plan is to be able to plow driveways, parking lots, shovel sidewalks, roads that never seem to get plowed and so many people end up getting stuck or when it snows for some reason people are too afraid to even walk outside in fear they could fall. some people cant shovel because of their health condition. some cant afford it. that is just one season i want to be able to help with. because i was raised by my grandparents and they taught me always do the right thing and help those in need in any way you can. my heart is huge and i have to say i honestly have my elderly grandparents to thank for that. my mom was a single mom and so i understand how times can be hard. now in the summer, i would like to be able to help everybody, and eventually turn lawn care and maintense into a business, but for those like the elderly, the disabled, and the less fortunate, i would not charge them but only accept tips if they can afford it. i feel good making them smile and taking the burden of cutting grass or picking up dog poop and hauling it away off their hands, paying it forward or giving back or whatever. knowing i did a good deed. i feel good helping people and my ambitions dont stop there, i want to be able to assist and help animals, who maybe have a little extra training to be done to be perfect dogs, but instead i want to get the training and certifications to be able to train them to be service animals, and police dogs or animals, and even simple behavioral issues to be readopted into loving families. all at a lower cost to those who need. i do work, i do have money saved and i will continue to save for my goal, but i could really use the help so i can get started on my dream faster so that way i can finally feel like i am living my purpose here on this earth. im asking for at least $10,000 in help so i can get a truck that is up to standard that able to haul all equipment and also have a plow. i would use some of that money towards getting licensed and certified in being able to work with and train the animals, and the rest would go to the down payment on the truck, ill find a way to loan the rest. i really hope someone sees the potential in me to make a difference and would like to help because anything and everything would be appreciated. i believe in always doing the right thing and i would like to pass that on. please and thank you from the bottom of my heart and my whole body and soul. god bless.

This is a very difficult time in my life, I don’t ever ask for help & this will be my first time posting online asking for any help paying for anything.

I was in a relationship where I started it out with a job & I had my bills caught up & paid every payday before I did anything for myself. I got a few months into the relationship when we moved in together, he caused me to lose my job, so I found another job, ended up losing that one because of him as well, the same thing happened with 2 more jobs until I realized he wasn’t going to allow me to work while we were together. He used every single bit of money I had, $2,500 on one credit card, $300 on another, $500 on a third, I was also unable to make my payments to a couple of loan companies where in total I now owe roughly $8,000 on just the loans after late fees being added to my accounts.

I finally got out of that situation 2 weeks ago & got a job a week ago. I’m staying in a friend’s extra room, but don’t have much time here to get on my feet. I’m not asking for everything to be paid, any help would definitely be appreciated. I just want to get back to being self sufficient.

I wasn’t sure what type of photo to use so I took a screenshot of an email I got from one of my credit card companies.

My name is Laura. I am in need of  $24k to get a car. I am going to get a job so I can help my family out, but I need a car to get to and from work. We have always struggled financially. I want to strive to give my family the life we never had. I also want a car so that I can start taking college classes. I want to be successful and make my family proud. I need to start somewhere. My goal is t become a financial advisor, a personal financial advisor, or an accountant. I want to go to college to study in the business field. My family has never had a lot and that’s one of my biggest motivations to start working. I have tried to find different ways to save up for a car but every time I start saving my money my parents end up needing it to pay bills. Of course I don’t mind helping but it is super stressful on me because I really want to start driving and being able to go to work. I cannot accomplish these goals without help. I want to be able to drive to the college that I am trying to apply to and not have to be struggling with finding a ride to and from places. In all honesty this would be very much appreciated. It will help me start striving for the success that I am aiming for. Furthermore, I want to be able to take my mother to her doctor appointments because she has breast cancer and has check ups. We struggle sometimes because my dad has to work late or doesn’t have money to put gas in his truck to take my mom. It will also encourage my little brother to join sports in his school, he hasn’t been able to because he doesn’t have a secure ride but with me having a car I will be able to take him to practices and let him be apart of things. If I am able to get the money for this car it will help in all of those ways. Not only will it help me but it will also help my whole family. I will not take this for granted and just decide to slack off as soon as I get this car. I will work even harder to get to where I want to be. I understand that everyone has to work hard for their money and everything that they get. I believe that I have tried several ways to save up for a car or try to talk to people to help me get a car but so far nothing has worked. I would truly appreciate if somebody could help me out. Help me reach my goals by helping me accomplish the first step. Thank you for taking your time out of your day to read this.

Recently, my school announced they will be offering a trip to Europe for 2 weeks to any student who has taken Spanish 2 and above. In order to go to Europe, you had to fill out an application and answer 5 essay questions. Although, my school can only pick 20 students to go. Out of 70 or so students who applied, I was one of the 20 students who got accepted.

I would like to travel to Europe for educational purposes, the experience, and to gain more positive personality traits  These traits include: confidence, maturity and independence. I am most looking forward to the informational tours and the sites that will be before my eyes. I am always ready to learn and experience new things that will not only benefit my future, but also my overall intellect. I have never traveled on an airplane before. Therefore, I am unsure of what to expect. Although, I am willing to travel on one if that’s what it takes to get to my destination. There’s a first for everything and being able to experience what it’s like to take flight will help me decide if travelling is something I’d love to do every now and then as I get older. This trip will help me grow as a person as I prepare for my college life and a career after high school. It will help me get out of my comfort zone. We tend to become comfortable in daily roles and the idea of breaking out of them can be scary and uncomfortable to some people. Although, I am able to learn most in uncomfortable and unfamiliar situations. It will help me become a more competent and intelligent individual. I will build confidence and have the ability to adapt in foreign situations. I would be able to develop cultural sensitivity. Cultural sensitivity can help me with my communication on both ‘business’ and personal aspects. With that being said, by the time I attend college and I build on a career, I will have certain requirements needed in order to be a successful student/employee.

A payment of $252.00 is due every month until the day of departure.
I am willing to accept any donation. Even as low as $1.00 I’d be grateful for. Every penny counts!

Thank you to anyone and everyone who supports me on this journey. It means a lot to me.

I am never one to ask for help..but I have one wish that would love to fulfill before my two beautiful girls get any older. I grew up in a small town in Northwest Ohio. I moved to Cleveland 8 years ago to better myself and see what opportunities awaited out here. In those 8 years I met my fiance and we had our two little girls. We go back and forth to visit my family once every month and I always leave with a lump in my throat because I miss my “home”. I want my girls to be able to have sleepovers at their grandma and grandpa’s house on weekends, have an auntie day with my sister, and spend time with their great grandparents without having either party travel the almost 2 hour drive. I want my girls to have the same childhood I did. We have been trying to save to move for awhile now but life as they say always happens. Our oldest daughter had to have surgery on her eyes, we had to get a new vehicle, and recently my partner hasn’t been feeling well(they have found a small mass on her liver-still TBD what it is). So whatever we do save ends up having to be used for other expenses. My wish is to move back home to my family where we will always have a helping hand and a support system, more so than we do now. This is where all you wonderful people come in. I’m hoping to raise enough for a moving truck,our first months rent/deposit, and any other moving expenses that arise. We are already actively applying,interviewing, and searching for new full-time jobs. We just need a little help to make all of this come true.
