Hello, my name is Diana and I am asking for help to pay off my student loan debt. You see, I was forced to study something I didn’t want by my father, who later disowned me for leaving his home to live with my fiancée, just because he’s not in the same religion as my father. He made me study to be an English teacher, at a Secondary Level, for Junior High and High School, even though I wanted to be either a Chef or Psychologist (both if I was able to do so.), he even went as far as saying that being a Chef is for stupid people and that I don’t know anything about Psychology to study it(which apparently I had to know everything about if I ever dare dream of studying anything)… Years later the reason why he didn’t want me to study Psychology came out, and his homophobic beliefs along with it, he didn’t want me to study it because then I would “have to tell a homosexual person that there is nothing wrong with them”, I was very much flabbergasted after that, because of his sick beliefs (he’s a Jehovah’s Witness) I wasn’t allowed to be a Psychologist or a Chef… and because of that I ended up having to get a student loan to be able to continue studying to be an English Teacher. I was able to finish the Bachelor’s Degree and thankfully, I was able to escape that situation and no longer live with such an awful person anymore and have no contact with him, but now I owe money. I have been trying to look for a job for over 2 years and I have yet to find one, and it feels embarrassing, especially since I even put the loan in forbearance thinking I could get a job by now and have enough money to start paying it off, but alas it was not so, and now it is in forbearance again. So, I am asking for $17,000 to pay it all off, to move on from that dreadful chapter in my life that was forced on me, and while it is a bit more than what I owe, it’s mostly because of the fees in PayPal which is 2.9% + $0.30 of each donation, and so that I can have some money left over to be able to study what I wanted in the first place. Thank you a lot in advanced to anyone who is able to help me out, I truly appreciate it.

“In 1991, while hanging out on the Old Chain Of Rocks, Route 66 Bridge, with some people I had been partying with that night. I was a part of a crime that took place, where innocent people were raped, robbed, and murdered. I hate that I did not have the courage to stop the attack and I hate that I took part in one of the rapes.
I was convicted of two counts of First Degree Capital Murder and received two death sentences on April 9, 1993. I spent-the next twenty-three years trying to prove I did not kill anyone and arguing the reason I confessed was because of police brutality.
On May 18, 2009, I was read an execution warrant that scheduled my execution for the 12:00 am on 17th day of June 2009, by means of the lethal injection, through the use of the three drug cocktail protocol. I prayed to the most high for the strength to accept the will of God, no matter what God’s decision might be. On June 5, 2009, a bird came and sat with me e whole first part of the day. Unbeknownst to me, my mother and father were pleading for my life with the Attorney General Chris Koster. At 4:45 pm that afternoon, I received a stay of execution.
After 23 years of struggling and loving support, my capital murder case was vacated on November 23, 2015. Where the Supreme Court Of Missouri, found a Brady violation occurred, where prosecutors his evidence that proved I was beaten by police detectives. On the 17th day of December 2017, I plead guilty in exchange for five, 30 year life sentences, with the possibility of parole and eligibility for immediate release. Now I fight for redemption among these good and bad choices.”

This campaign is to help support the Justice for Reggie Liberation Project,  Caught-Up and under the wrong circumstance, 19 year old Reginald Clemons found himself on death row. With a police brutality appeal decision ruling in his favor he is eligible for release, humbled but with a heavy heart he can turn a page but the past can never be erased. Incarcerated since 1991, Reginald has completed I.C.V.C, Inmate suicide prevention program, I.T.C, to name a few he has earned over 30 certificates and is currently attending  (PREP) for St.Louis University thought a prisoner reform project. The funds will be going toward life expense but more important league counsel on Clemons vs Joseph Brauer, et al., caes# 4:17-cv-2739, were by the request of Mr. Clemons  all settlements will go toward the well being of the Kerry family. ” This is the biggest part of my redemption and I pray for all the families involved and the victims I’ve impacted.” Looking for healing with a hopeful future, Reginald is eligible for release in 2020. Grateful for the chance and opportunity to make a change. Thank you for your support.

To start off, what I wish to accomplish is me graduating my school. Since I’ve done so poorly at the beginning of my school year, I’ve had some trouble coming to terms with it. The fear of not completing my education even with hard work still scares me. The school I’m in is a really good one, and so far I’m fine (academically). I’m doing a lot better than last year, I just want to ensure the time I spend in my education will have me not only educated but successful. I still have problems with comprehension, writing, and other essentials.

My finances are quite poor, due to my deceased parents’ payments landing onto my other parent which has us in poverty. The last thing I want is to fail and land myself into my parents’ place. Although it seems like an overreaction, I want to succeed where I am, so I can help my family. One thing that I genuinely think will help me is the very device that can help me through my years.

It’s a device that averages around eight-hundred(one grand in the devices that make it more productive) dollars made by Microsoft. Even though it came out years ago, I think it will help me in the future.

Personally, I love writing, art, musical composition, and communication. However, I think it’s the best one for my academics. It’s portable, sustainable, and can hold onto light work such as Document editing, note-taking, studying and allows further communication to my teachers. Outside of my education is what really pushes me further. Career-wise, I want to major in Animation (Psychology and Philosophy) so I can produce my own work to the public. A lot of it requires story writing, artistic skills, and effort. In addition, I can have it as an emotional outlet ever since parents passed away. Plus, I’m working on becoming a better person, like being eloquent, informed, wise and true to myself.

Lastly, as minor as this is, I also want to donate to those who are in need. Many people on this site really need help, and I really don’t like seeing people distressed. If you cannot donate, it is fine :). Thank you for taking the time to read this.

P.S I couldn’t really find an image of the device I wanted that was not from the net, so I took a picture of one device that’s similar but not the one I think is suitable.

Hello there everyone! My name is Stormi. I am a 25 year old woman and I have a huge passion for nature photography. Even though I’m an amateur as of right now, it’s something that brings me a lot of joy and is a great escape from the hardships of life. I am currently trying to save up around $2,100 dollars to be able to re-buy a nice DSLR Nikon camera and a new computer to be able to edit with. I had a camera before, but I had to sell it quickly and unfortunately very cheaply to help my mother who was in need of getting her rent paid. I haven’t been able to buy it back ever since.This happened a year ago. My current job I have as a home health care giver sadly does not pay enough. I only get paid $8.75 an hour with about 23 hours a week.  All the money that I earn from my job goes towards bills and food and care for my 2 pet kitties. In the future, I hope to be more skilled with photography that I could start making money with it as a side job. I really enjoy finding the beauties in nature and capturing that in an image. And being able to share it with others, allowing them to see how beautiful our world is. Some people tend to miss out on the little joys and amazing things that mother nature has hidden in this world. I got into photography after I had surgery, I was in a pretty dark place and felt a bit hopeless. I decided to go on a hike to clear my mind and saw the most beautiful flower. I took a picture of it with my cellphone and posted it on my social media site. I received positive feedback from the picture I had taken. It made me feel good to know that people saw beauty in something I considered art with my photo. I then saved up to get my first camera and I was the happiest I had been in such a long time. So I started taking more pictures, trying out new methods and even trying to take pictures of micro life that is often missed by the human eye. I feel like nature photography is a good way to allow others to see how breath taking life can be. I hope that with the help of generous people I’ll be able to get back on track with my dream. Any donation, even the smallest is immensely appreciated it.  And to anyone who took the time to read this, thank you very much. I also attached an image of a photo I took of a Rough Green Snake, for y’all to check out one of my photography pieces.

Hi, this is written with extreme humility and humbleness.

In trying to support my girlfriend with this difficult decision for her, she brings up money as a main factor.  I think we are fine and even if I am check to check, it will work out if we can just continue thru.  However my 19k heloc, 3k credit card, and 3,500 on my car.  Make her unable to see an end or debt or a beginning of a college fund.  The fact that the furnace needs to be replaced (but it will go another year or two) is not helping.

i will do anything to support this child and if begging for support can help I will.

ideally

yes, I haven’t been the greatest saver lately, but my past has set me up with a house and new roof.  But I have debt now and no savings to show.  It is embarrassing that I can’t show to her that everything will be fine and provided for.  On the way to the clinic, if she doesn’t change her mind my last effort will be to say the 400+ dollars for the termination would make a great start to a college fund :).

Ideally, 25,500 would show her a lot but an extra 9k (average cost for a child) to cover the first year would amaze her 🤞.

so please, from the bottom of my heart, please help me give this child a chance.

If the journey end on 10/25/19 I will happily return donations if that’s possible or send them to the women’s domestic violence shelter and rcc.  I can handle my debt but it’s not okay for her.  Please don’t let me not do everything I can to save my child.

My family and I decided to move in with my grandfather. My grandmother had passed away and grandpa was getting older. He sold his house to purchase a place for the whole family. We were very lucky to find a house on 5 acres with another small house in the back. My father and sister moved in the small house and my grandfather, husband, 4 children and I moved in the bigger house. The big house had an additional room that was more like a studio apartment. That is where my grandfather stayed. We were all very excited. My grandfather had always been very good with my kids. He taught them how to take care of the property.  They learned about plumbing, electrical work, how to run irrigation lines, and how to work on the farm equipment. We had a huge garden, lots of animals and lots of room to run around for my kids. My husband was an Ironworker and I was the lunch Lady at my children’s school. No we weren’t perfect, we had our family issues but at least we were all together.

May 17, 2017

I will never forget that day as long as I live. I was at the grocery store and received a phone call from My oldest daughter (9yrs old). She said..”Mom, I just saw something that really shocked me” she continued to tell me how she saw my grandfather (her great grandfather) making her little sister(6) touch him. Ill spare you the horrible details of everything she said. She continued to say she and her sister were hiding in the bathroom because he caught her watching through the window. Needless to say I rushed home, threw my daughters in the car and ran to the elementary school around the corner where I worked. After confirming my daughters story I took her to the emergency room where they called the police. They had me go to an office called “The Children’s Interview Center” the detectives I worked with were absolutely the best and I will forever be grateful for how they helped me through this situation. The next morning I had to wear a wire and go talk to my grandfather.

Did I mention my grandfather was 91!

May 19, 2019

I hid the wire in my bra, drove down the street to my house, stepped out of my truck, leaving a detective hiding in the back seat. I started walking to the den where I knew I would find my Grandpa. I felt like I was going to puke, I couldn’t feel my legs or feet but I kept walking. I told myself he was going to have some crazy explanation as to why Bailee would say these things and everything would make sense… but that was not the case. I walked in and the first thing he said was “ I’m in trouble aren’t I?” I wanted to die, but I didn’t show it….

He went on to explain some of the most unexpected horrible things I could have imagined. He admitted to everything. He confessed it had been going on from the time she was 3. I don’t know how I walked out but after about 20 minutes I left.

The detectives listened to the recording at the corner of my street. Then they swarmed my house, arrested my 91 year old grandpa and took him away. I had a panic attack.

My Grandfather had never been arrested before. He was a WWII Veteran. He received an Honorable Discharge from the Navy, Many awards and certificates, and numerous letters of appreciation from commanding officers. He retired after 34 years of service. He was the local handyman in his community and was always helping his neighbors with something.

Shortly after my grandfather went to jail my sister, brother in-law, dad and grandfather attempted to evict us. He lost… but as a result I sued my grandfather for the property….  as if that wasn’t enough to deal with, my grandfather decided to fight the molestation charges and take the case to trial. That meant my daughters had to testify in open court in front of my grandfather. In December of 2018 after court mediation we came to an agreement. He would agree to give the girls the property and he would take out a loan to pay off his debt. His debt being the bail and the lawyer fees. If he should pass away before the debt was paid off I would be responsible for the remaining balance of the loan. It wasn’t ideal but I would at least be able to raise my children where we all wanted to live. On a side note; I did struggle with the decision to stay in the house because of everything that happened. However the alternative was not pretty. We did not want to go back to living in the city, my children desperately did not want to change schools, and in the long run the home would be worth far more money making it a good investment for my children. I also wanted to make it a point to my daughters that you fight for what you believe is right. March 23, 2019 we had the appraisal done. We were about 10 days away from finishing the loan process. March 25, two days after the appraisal, he passed away. We are now facing the possibility of losing our home.

Because of the many issues our family faced, my husband was unable to deal with everything and as a result he fell back into his abusive habits. I left him and I am currently going through a divorce.

To make matters worse… my dad became sick. He had stopped eating for the most part after he found out what his dad had done. He was so malnourished he was 50lbs underweight. He was diagnosed with Superior mesenteric artery syndrome. A rare disease which from my understanding does not allow food to pass through the digestive tract because the position of certain organs had changed due to the loss of body weight. After a long stay in the hospital we decided to bring him home with Hospice. He died three weeks ago. To add an element of what the hell…. My sister took off 3 hours before he died with everything of value including a safe with $10,000 in it…

EVERYTHING you just read is 100% true. I have many things obviously that I need help with…

My dads cremation

House liens

Counseling payments

Household bills…

Besides the emotional trauma that we are currently in counseling for the most important is obviously the house and my dad… Any money that can go towards the liens on the house would be a great benefit to the future of my children. They are wonderful kids that deserve so much more than I can offer. They are responsible, honest, polite and dependable. They get good grades and don’t get in trouble at school. Please consider helping us close this chapter in our life so we can move on to a happier future.

What do I have to lose. 63 years old on oxygen. Married to my wonderful wife Shirley of 5 years. I am on disability since 2011. My wife works full time. She came here from Scotland in 2014. We rent out home. Renting is ok I guess, if you can find something that is nice and in a nice neighborhood. Unfortunately its hard to have both. Our home has high windows except for in the front living room. Being on oxygen 24/7 and my age, if there was a fire, I would struggle escaping out of here. Anyways my wife works so hard and a new home would will only be in our dreams. To have a nice home in the country. To have a garage attached to come inside so I wouldn’t have to breath the cold air in the winters. I’ve never smoked or done drugs my entire life, but I have damaged lungs. We have sold so many things we’ve owned to have what we have now. (mobility scooter , Portable breathing equipment etc.).

I lost my dad when I was 9 months old. My mother was under mental care since I was 2 or 3 years old. I was raised by my grandparents who had nothing. I lost them when I was 10 and 16. I was living on my own when I was 16 working at Sears at 2 am to 5 am and going to school. Later I took a job at the City of Dowagiac Mi working in the Water treatment Plant. When I was 17 my mother got her independence to be on her own. We got a place together that lasted 3 months. She wanted me to quit school and help her first time boyfriend with loading and unloading his truck. I was involved in sports in school, so I moved into a sleeping room back in Dowagiac and continue going to school. I ended up quitting school my senior year so that I could work full time. Later in 1975 my mom was killed in an auto accident in Valdosta Georgia. My mom was a passenger in the car that was not insured even though the young man that hit them was at blame. I got a cash settlement of 3500.00 after attorneys fees. Plus the cost of having her brought back up here and buried. I took a GED test and enrolled into SMC college. Working on a Associates degree and wrestling, I soon found out all the grants for school and housing had to be paid back and I could not continue school. The reason was, my mother never worked and paid into Social  Security ever. Grandparents never adopted me, was appointed Guardians only. I have no siblings and been on my own my whole life.

Yes, the grammar, punctuation and spelling is terrible, but I hope it only partially tells the kind of person I am. I am not sure who all reads this or if its just some sort of a scam or marketing. I have nothing to lose but to reach out.

So I suppose I should start this off by telling you about myself, right? Okay, here it goes. My name is Brooke, and I live in Mississippi with my three beautiful children and my wonderful husband and I am seeking to wipe the debt slate of $10,000 clean.

Life hasn’t always been kind to us. Mississippi has some of the poorest areas despite having a lower cost of living. While we had some help starting out in life thanks to parents, their idea of help meant keeping us in those poorer areas where our children had very little opportunity to grow.

Which is why we moved to an area of Mississippi that seems to have some flourishing school systems, for the sake of our children. It wasn’t easy, it still isn’t, but we have done everything that we can to make sure our children get a good education.

That is why I am asking for your help. Before we moved I was a stay-at-home mom, tending to my younger children in their infant years. I spent most of my twenties raising children and told myself that my thirties would be when I truly began my search for a career. It seems as though I found it in my current job; truly a good job with potential, but when I came into this job I came into it with a lot of debt already saddled on me.

Every penny seems to go to countless payday loans or the backpay in rent that we owe. We live paycheck to paycheck despite the fact that my husband and I both have full-time jobs. My husband’s job seems to be teetering on the verge of more layoffs, refusing to pay him what he is worth while he works over 40 hours a week, every week. Meanwhile, daycare costs are killing us because we can’t get ahead with our debt, and we can’t simply cut the cost because we both need our jobs.

To make matters worse, our vehicles are in desperate need of repairs that we can’t afford. I have to personally travel 4 hours south about once a year to visit with my youngest child’s cleft lip repair team. Because of our vehicles, I worry we won’t be able to make our upcoming trip.

I am worn, stressed, and can barely sleep while I wonder where our next meal will come from, if I can make the next payment for rent or childcare, and that is why I am here. It’s a longshot, I know, but I know when to put away my pride and ask for help.

I know that, if we can get rid of most or all of this debt on our shoulders, that we will be in a much better spot financially. It’s just a matter of getting there. So here I am, just a mother asking for a chance and a little kindness.

Can you help me try to clear the $10,000 in debt we owe, and help us build a better life for our children?

If you’ve ever lost a parent I’m sure you can relate to what you’re about to hear. In July of 2018 my father past away from a disease called Gastroparesis. He was diagnosed over 20 years ago and was able to live a normal life life with minor set backs. In June of 2017 he was hospitalized. He laid in several hospital beds for over a year until his body couldn’t handle it anymore. The day he past away was the hardest day of my life. My whole world changed. I am happy that he is no longer in pain and free, but I’ve never been more afraid for my own life. Before he died I had attended two different schools and got a scholarship to run track at a D1 University. After I transferred, I only had one more year before graduation. But when I got the one call I was dreading for so long, I couldn’t do anything. I couldn’t sleep, I couldn’t think, I couldn’t focus, all I wanted to do was cry. I had zero motivation to do anything. After a few weeks went by, the summer was coming to an end and it was time to go back to school.. but I couldn’t. I couldn’t leave my mom all alone with all the stress she was going through with money, bills, and at the fact that she lost her beloved husband. So I stayed home, even tho she wanted me to go back and get my degree. I knew she would need help with the bills and I personally knew that I did not have enough motivation or strength to make it through the year. Fast forward a year. My mom had to come out of retirement to try and save the house from foreclosure, which isn’t looking too promising. I am working 3 jobs, and I’m still afraid that I will not have enough to pay my part of the bills each month. Now it is getting to the point where I have to start making payments on my student loans I had from my first school. It’s been months and I haven’t been able to make a single payment, scared that soon they will start taking my money straight from my account. Everyday is just another stress filled day where I am afraid of what’s to come. My wish is to not be worried about not being able to pay my bills on time, and save my parents house from foreclosure, and mainly be able to go back to school and graduate. Because his dream was always to see me graduate, and I don’t want to take that away from him. Because I know he is looking down at me keeping me safe, telling me everything will be alright, and I trust him. In the end, I really don’t expect anything, but I’m at the point where I’m desperate and anything will help. If you could please help me in anyway I would really appreciate it and so would he. God Bless

l feel absolutely ridiculous making this, but I really don’t have any other options at this point.

I do a lot of my work through my laptop, and old Hp Pavilion DV6. My podcast, design work, Voice Acting, all that jazz, and still only made about 11 dollar an hour. The problem is, the laptop just died. I’m 20, stuck at home with family, and working on my GED as well, and in between all that, my younger siblings decided to go into my room while I was at class and break my only equipment to work with. I don’t know what to do anymore, so I’ve come here. I genuinely feel ashamed to be doing this, but I feel like I’ve hit a low that justifies this (barely).

I hope I don’t seem like too much of an asshole to ask for this, as I grew up working in family charity stuff (a Pay It Forward program my family started in Florida), and I feel as though this is a ridiculous thing to ask.

The fact of the matter is this: I need money to replace my computer, ad that was my only current source of income.

Jeez, this is hard to write. Do I feel as though this is something I deserve? No. I think this is something that should be on this websites back-burner. I believe if you see a request on here that goes towards medical bills, or funeral expenses, then by all meant take care of them first. But, if after they are all taken care of, you have something that you can send my way, or you feel generous enough to help, anything is appreciated and I will be forever grateful. My laptop may not have been the best piece of equipment. Hell, it was outdated, rundown, and modified to hell and back internally to keep it working, but it got the job done. I can hopefully salvage the hard-drive from it and keep my files, but between phone bills, program subscriptions to do my work, and recording equipment expenses, I just don’t have enough saved from working to replace the laptop.

The motherboard is snapped, you can see where it slammed against the floor in the photo. It charges, but refuses to boot past the HP logo. If you took the time to read this, I appreciate it, and I hope you have a wonderful day.

I would like to start off by thanking you in advance for your time, kindness, & consideration.

It’s truly struggling hard to keeping your head above the water.  Specifically, my youngest lives with me due to many of her lifelong health issues like esophagus & stomach polyps as well as 3 autoimmune diseases and a few other issues.

Additionally, I am disabled due to an accident and 8 surgeries from my cervical spine(neck),shoulder, 4 hand surgeries & wrist surgery. Some caused more issues and some didn’t change. I feel worthless due to I use to be really busy with OU college(15 hours)on call for and oilfield disposal site. Therefore, I’m no longer superwoman. It’s embarrassing to ask my kids to help open a jar, assist in washing my hair as I struggle with one shoulder that doesn’t want to go all the way up, and worst of all is when I dropped a plate full of Chinese food on the ground at a buffet; and my kids immediately went over where I was to help get everything of their tiled floor.  I lay awake most of the time. I don’t like getting out for any reason as I get tunnel vision and feel like I’m going to pass out.  I do have health issues of my own as well; blood pressure, cholesterol, nerves in my feet Med, pain in numerous places, change of life physical bodily wise, not to mention my anxiety and depression.  I get an SSDI check but it’s being used to get caught up on my debt like: mercy hospital, ambulance service do to me having a seizure and my daughter freaked out, Best Buy card, Home Depot card, Wayfair card, overstock card, my overdrawn checking account with bank of oklahoma,  Victoria Secret card. These cards have been like this for awhile now as I used them to help until I got my ssdi.

I can’t even buy a mattress(this king size has messed up springs)due to my situation of debt, toilet paper, laundry detergent, dish detergent,  body wash, shampoo, lotion, pillows(as my neck hurts if I don’t get the right balance of pillows), food, fuel to go to my youngest daughter and my Specialist appointments, hospital, etc.

I’m miserable, but try to keep it together when possible as my youngest has health issues just as I have. Then there’s medical items and/or medications that insurance won’t cover for both of us. It’s a frustratingly overwhelming situation. An example of the medical insurance not covering steroid cream for my daughters skin, her birth control, her extra steroids due to her autoimmunity issue. Insurance only covers the script once monthly so any extras as per Endochronologist specialist are out of pocket, asthma I hate had to be switched because insurance wouldn’t cover that either, breathing machine(insurance only pays for 1 nebulizer machine wishing several months). Thinking Bout health equipment; sometimes the specialists will recommend stuff that could possibly help like an air purifier for my youngest daughter, a orthopedic operating bed with capabilities to electrically move at angles to prop the head.

Then if that ain’t all, my dependable suv still needs an engine so I can make both of our appointments, as well as groceries. My other daughter also stays here and has a Vehicle but is limited of when she can run me & my youngest daughter to the specialists keeping in mind that she works. Also, I don’t have family for say except all my grown kids.

Thank you for your time and consideration in regards to my dilemma at hand. I tried to keep it at a minimum as well as be brief on only the most important factors.

Sincerely, Mary

pics will include an engine missing from my suv, an old Fredrick window air conditioner that is locked up now(can’t use), windows needing replacement dye to them being old and 2 got broke accidentally this last winter; not to mention we have leaks, had to begin redoing 1 side of retainer walls due to the gully washers of rain we’ve received over time that caused the walls to fall down. The walls have to be fixed so the house won’t slide down as well.

My husband and I are expecting our first child in a couple of weeks.  We are so excited, but I’m dreading going back to work already!  The whole situation is difficult for me to problem solve, and I think about it constantly.

I finished cosmetology school two years ago, and have been doing hair while he completed an HVAC program and is now working an entry level spot with a great company.  Our future is bright, but our current situation is tight- financially.  We didn’t want to wait too long to start a family because I’m already 37, and he’s 42.  We are late bloomers, but hard workers with big dreams.

I thought that going back to work would just be an easy thing I had to do, but now can see I was very ignorant to the financial and emotional cost.  I don’t want to leave our baby for at least a year! I’m not even sure I can make enough to justify the cost of care, as we have moved for Jerrod’s school, and need to move one more time because his new job is too far a commute.  Moving towns/salons basically means starting over with my income.

We have done our best to maximize the budget, but we just don’t have a lot of income from our new careers yet, and we’re still paying for the education.  We plan on going down to one car as soon as we’re not upside down in one, and living closer to my husbands office- which should be soon.  Currently my bills are still too high for him to cover month to month, and our lease isn’t up until January 31st.  I’m only making enough to cover my bills with very little for savings.

His parents have offered to help as much as they can, but they are on fixed income and have a lot of medical expenses.    We don’t own anything of value to sell.  We’re true late bloomers!  I’m delaying my work from home job applications until we know when baby is coming for sure, but my research has not turned up very many practical options so far.  We live in a super small, low-income town, which is not helpful but will hopefully be remedied ASAP.

Any amount of money would help.  Approximately $5,000 would give us time to figure out a work from home situation that includes me doing hair for clients from the house and/or hopefully finding some legit work at home situation in the customer service area.  I’m also more than thrilled to consider a remote job opportunity rather than a cash donation.  I’m obviously not above asking for money, but if I could earn it that would for be even better.

Thank you so much for just reading this.  Your time and consideration is sincerely appreciated.

Dear Reader,

I don’t even know where I would begin, but I guess I can say that the last 3 years have been an ongoing struggle of utter bullshit. I was in a marriage with someone who wanted to start their own business and in return I was paying all our bills so they could. They were having issues with this eventually, and they left me to go “find themself”, leaving me in an incredible amount of debt.

About six months after they left me, I thought I was getting into a stronger place money wise and BOOM- I was diagnosed with stage 2 cervical cancer where I had two surgeries, and 8 weeks of recovery while living in NYC. Great.

Now, not to lie- I did get some money thrown my way for my surgery payments from friends, but that goes fast and between the drugs my insurance did not take, hospital stays, nursing, aids and building back my life after my ex took majority of what was once theirs before we lived together and my ongoing financial support of my parents (My mother works two jobs as my father is disabled) I’ve sadly spread myself too thin. I haven’t been able to keep up with my student loan payments because I have so many things to pay.

From dental bills and my cancer meds it would be nice to have my head above water.

I do not expect to make a dollar from my story, I understand the world has problems and I’m no exception to the millions of people who have troubles daily. What I can say is that I am a hungry person, trying to feel a little less of the day to day stress because I just beat Cancer and yet I feel like that wasn’t as bad as the aftermath. My student loan is $18,000.00 and $25,000.00 would really get me where I need to be.

I  truly want to be the best version of myself and that I need some help. I hope one day I can be the one to help others in need.

If you would like to speak to me or hear more about me and or my story please let me know and I would be glad to share.

Thank you for your time.

I must say first of all that I’m not too happy about my birthday coming up because I feel I’m getting older & haven’t done anything with my life..I especially feel the last 4 years my life has been on pause & I haven’t grown.I never thought I’d be doing this & I was just looking online to see if there even was an option like this to open up a little about what I’m going through & just see if there is any help because at this point I’ve come to god knows this isn’t easy for me to share….

One of the biggest reasons for this feeling like my life’s been on pause is mainly because I haven’t been able to take care of something that’s been holding me back for the past 4 years now. I needed $5k to get this certain thing done (erased & taken cared of) but never seemed to come up with enough founds to do so, I honestly don’t want to go into details with exactly what it is because it’s something that will highly be judged..it’s been weighing me down & hovering over my back for years. Every time I had A little bit saved up to build on to make the aMount I need..wether it be Christmas/ holiday comes around & my heart is soo kind I go buying gifts etc for people from the little I would save up & said I wouldn’t touch..so it’s like I never got anything to add up.

I’ve been so mad at myself for not getting this situation taken cared of way back like 4 years ago but I took to long to ever get enough saved, which I noticed it’s been a big  thing that has been dragging me down, & I feel like I can’t move on with my life..if I’m able to get any help from anyone would really help..I know there are people in worst conditions and needs than me at least I have a roof over my head..this is also why I’m saying whatever Little would be appreciated.

Getting this money would be my birthday wish which will be September 8th, I’ve been living in a messy, uncomfortable situation & having this money to help me get what I need fixed & out of my way….will also help me to get out of my living situation & move on without a big baggage over my shoulders…I’m willing to tell someone who I feel I can trust more of my situation but these days I don’t know who to trust so telling every detail online to strangers are even harder for me when I don’t even trust people I know in person.

I want to be free again, spread my wings that’s been cut..grow it back & fly again Without any worries or reminder of this one thing that’s been weighing me down heavily. I’ve wasted 4 years of my youth that I’ll never get back if only I can get some help & it will allow me to make a big move for my 26th year; could make up for the time lost. It will also allow me to renew my passport & work on getting my drivers license which has been my goal that’s been on hold not just be able to leave the uncomfortable living situation. As soon as I’m able to raise enough to fix that 1 thing that’s been needing to be worked on/fixed, everything else will be smoother for me.

Life has a funny way of throwing a curve ball when you least expect it. One thing for sure, is I never in my life would have expected that I would be posting for financial help. It is strange to be typing out reasons as to why I need money assistance from strangers.

Let me be clear, I don’t believe my financial problems are anyone else’s  equation to solve. I’ve gotten myself into this mess, and I’m working (literally all the time) to solve and clear my debts.  I have two jobs, and devote myself to making money in every way possible (i.e. garage sales, temp jobs, eBay, etc). I also do not believe my problems are the most important on this website: I’ve read many of the stories here, and there are genuinely others that would need the money more than I would at this moment. While I am crying for help, I’m not in an emergency situation, just a sad and depressing one.

I’ve been told to not be afraid to ask for help, so I am taking this advice, albeit slowly, and sharing my story. If I can at least get a little peace of mind with sharing or find someone who can relate to my story and that I’m not alone, then I will be satisfied.

Let me just start off by saying that I have Major Depressive Disorder with manic episodes and I live in probably the worst state to have such a mental illness. Alaska is dark for six to seven months of the year and has no outlet for people unless you like the great outdoor life. While I love the snow, I’m not super adventurous with skiing, snowboarding or Snow Mobiles. I’m also not a super fan of being outside in the pitch black. I’m sure that you see where his is going….I will be the first to admit that the depth of blackness scares me. If I can’t see in front of me, then I’ll just stay inside.

I try my best to keep busy with work and school (I’m on my last semester of Business School-The debt sucks, but I’m excited to have been able to complete something in my life that can potentially help me in my future), but during the winter I mostly keep indoors and that will sometimes drive me crazy. To cope, I have travelled to the lower forty eight at minimum four times a year for the last three years. It’s expensive and I genuinely cannot afford it, but I also can not box myself in this dark, miserable state without going crazy. I have pulled back on traveling because I cannot afford additional travel with the debt I’ve accrued and luckily I have been able to manage my depression with other outlets: Painting, Violin, playing on a dart league, socializing, and exercising. I wish I was able to come to this conclusion of balancing my life before I spent a lot of money, but it really was a learning curve. Throw in my unmedicated MDD / mania and I wasn’t living within the realm of logic, but within the realm of YOLO/I’m trapped, get me out.

Speaking of mental health, I have worked in outpatient mental health (medical) for ten years. There is a reason why I decided to pursue a Business degree, working in mental health has been detrimental to my own personal mental health. First, you really don’t see how screwed the working class are in regards to insurance/assistance/taxes until you work in community healthcare. It’s not pretty. YES, there are genuinely, severely ill people who need the SSI/Medicaid/Disability. I have so many patients that I love and will spend every waking moment at work getting them the needs they deserve, but then there are the people who are trying to take advantage of disability and will be the most challenging “patients” you will ever have to deal with (I have been called a Bitch and a Cunt so many times by patients when I’m just the messenger saying a disability application cannot be completed per the provider as they are able-bodied). It sucks that there are people who have to ruin it for others who genuinely need the assistance.

My own health is questionable but I’m working on it slowly. As slowly as I can afford at the moment. I’ve had many instances of migraines/IR heart rate and palpitations/dizziness. This is mostly anxiety induced (I think/ or at least hope). I have not had the best of luck with doctors in Alaska. I tend to just get the run around and pay money for nothing.

I also recently had to put my dog of ten years down. Raised him from a puppy and genuinely considered him as my child (and wow, I just started crying as I write this) . It’s amazing how impactful this was, I didn’t think it would be this hard but boy was I foolish to believe I would be ok. I had to euthanize him in March as he was literally asphyxiating because of a severely collapsed trachea. I didn’t even know that was something that could kill a dog. I still cry, whenever I think of him, whenever I see his pictures and whenever I talk about him. This was a life that I was wholly responsible for and who depended on me for everything, and he LOVED me so purely. I feel like I failed him as a owner and I definitely have not fully finished grieving his death. I still wake up believing he is alive and am disappointed when the realization sets in that he is no longer next to me. I am still paying off the bill I had to pay for the emergency vet and his euthanasia. $2200. It’s so gut wrenching and morbid the amount of money that is required to ensure that your loved ones receive the best when they die and that their corpse is taking care of in a way that is respectful. I feel taken advantage of, but he deserved the world. Fun fact: the veterinarian where my dog was put to rest just recently starting requesting tips on all their payments. I would have lost my mind if I had seen that as I was paying for him to be euthanized. Seriously, why the hell would I give a tip for that, especially when I was already paying so much money. “Sorry your dog is dead, don’t forget to tip”. Next thing in life will be tipping our doctors when we already cannot afford it (Just you wait and see).

With all this information I’ve provided (there is more, but I could write a novel), I’m sure you have come to the conclusion that my ultimate goal is to move away from Alaska.

I am almost done with my business degree, and I plan to work for the next year and a half to save money, pay as much debt as I can and get out of this state. It only brings me down the more I live here (Mentally, Socially, financially). I was brought here via my military family and I’m ready to move on and put this life behind me and start a new. The struggle is actually starting anew.

I am currently $65,000 in debt. That is including school loans and credit cards. I am the only one responsible for my self and bankruptcy will literally kill me and put me further away from the possibility of moving.

I have no set amount that I am requesting, any dollar amount will help me with my goal (yes, even a dollar).

If I would have a main goal, it would be to get rid of the fees and debt I incurred when I had to euthanize my dog, Teddi ($2200). Ironically, I don’t even like going into my Care Credit to make the minimum payment as I get immediately weepy.

If you made it to the end of this, I applaud your perseverance and I also thank you for reading. I know it was a lot, and yes, absolutely there is more to the story that was left out, but I’m sure not everyone will want to read my adult life story and would only want my goal. Anyone is welcome to email me for further clarification.

Even if I receive no monetary donations, having the ability to type and post part of my story has been the most relieving and cathartic moment I have had recently.

Thank you everyone,

Britt

Ps: I’m a little sad it won’t let me post more pictures. If you are a veteran to this website, let me know if there is a secret.
