Weight of the world on my shoulders – Looking for some relief

Hi there,

Thank you for taking the time to read my message. I’d like to tell you a little more of my story and why I’ve come to this site.

I’m currently 26 years old, and I’m just trying to figure out where I need or should be at my life right now. I know that they say 20’s are when you’re discovering yourself and 30’s are when you know who you are, but ever since I was 17, I’ve had a challenge.

When I was 17 years old, my mom passed away. She was in and out of hospitals, but ended up spending more time in. She kept having strokes, which ended cause her to have Aphasia. That where it effected her speech and writing. Her time in the hospital helped us realize that she had a rare blood disease that only 5% of women get.

After she passed away, I’ve always struggled with myself fighting/battling the depression that I gained over time. I’ve come a long way since being 17. I’ve seen therapist, I’ve battled against low points in my life.  I’ve learned to grow and adapt as best as I can or could. I’ve learned that I’ll have happy times and sad times as any would. But the sad times are much harder since the depression adds on to it.

I’ve always struggled with money after my mom passed away, and I don’t know why that is.. Maybe because I lost part of my happiness, money can bring me some.. I know there’s a cliche saying that “money can’t buy you happiness”, but to me, it can provide some at times.

I struggle with money because I feel like I’ve put myself in “debt”. My car is my biggest thing that holds me back. The payments are high for me, and I always struggle to pay them on time. I usually send them in late but within in a grace period. I can’t seem to ever pay rent on time, and thank god I live with my brother because he understands that I am trying or that I do try. I’ve always help/had a job, but you only get paid so much. I have two credit cards that I feel like I’ll never pay off. Whenever I start to pay one off, something always seems to come up where/when I need to use it.

With all my bills, I pay them all. But it’s just that never get paid on time or at the same time. I some how manage to spread them out and figure a way to pay them. I feel like the poster child for making it work.. Somehow.

I just need some help or a little extra cash because I feel like I can’t breath at times or that the stress is never ending. I wish I could start over or go back in time and give myself advice or a chance to not be where I’m at now.

The funny thing is that I don’t do drugs, I don’t smoke, and I don’t drink unless is an occasion or social environment. I don’t have any criminal background. I just the “normal” or “typical average person” but just come with some baggage.

I would be lying if I didn’t say I feel desperate, but I just need some help to relieve what feels like the wait of the world on my shoulders.

I see the good in every person and always try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. I don’t believe life is a fairytale, but I know there is good in the world. I’m just tired and feel stressed. Thats why I’m hoping someone on here can relate or understand.

I feel like I had to grow up really fast since my mom passed away and had to compensate for the happiness that I lost, but somehow I ended finding myself struggle with money and how to manage/budget it.

I’m not going to ask for a lot because it not anyone fault for where I’m at or responsiblity to help me..

But I do deeply and truly thank you for even coming here and reading my message. To even consider or think about helping me out.

I’m not sure what to categorize this under.. As in “debt” or “bills” but maybe under wishes because we all have wishes that we hope to come true.

Again, thank you.. I truly appreciate your time.art-percy-jackson-favim-com-636534.jpg

Taking the weight

Where do I even begin?

My mom is an amazing woman. She has always been independent and hardworking. She went above and beyond to always insure I had everything I needed and most of what I wanted. She stuck by me through it all, and saying I wasnt the easiest child to raise is putting it mildly. She is always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone whether that be a stranger, neighbor, family, friend or enemy. She has a heart of gold and cares about others sometimes I feel like more than she should. She has always given people who really didnt deserve them way too many chances than they deserve. I’ve seen her give the last little bit of money to a family member who made it sound like they were in need more than she was only to later find out her money was spent not on the diapers she had been told it would be spent on but on a drug addicts drugs.

For almost 5 years she worked for a company that didn’t deserve to have her as a part of their team. She was a business office manager on top of enough work to employee 5 other people. She would come home stressed out to the point she would be in tears. Right before her 5 year anniversary she was let go, at the time she didn’t know why later found out the company went under. At first we looked at it as a blessing in disguise, but after numerous unsuccessful interviews we started to realize that things were about to get tight financially.

She did eventually find work, as a home care nurse. She was loving it. But after only a few short months in the field, disaster struck again. While caring for a patient who was mentally ill, she took a good fall due to her attempt to try and wrangle the escapee. She didn’t realize how severe the damage was until after going to the doctor to just get checked out for the pain from the incident. She is now about to have MAJOR back surgery, and the company she works for has cut her hours. Shes lucky if she gets 10 hours in a week, that’s barely enough to pay for her gas to get to and from her patients.

Even though she is in so much pain, sometimes so severe she has problems getting up out of bed some mornings, she still keeps working and working. She wont let anything stop her. I help where I can but I have 3 kids of my own along with of course my own bills.

Shes drowning, falling so far behind. I am watching the strong willed, independent, driven woman who raised me into the woman I am today fade slowly away. She is becoming depressed, even though she tries to hide it and pretend like everything is perfect. I have found her hiding in her bathroom crying one too many times. So this why I am asking, no begging and pleading to please help me take some of this weight off my moms shoulders.ResizedImage_1409629405597.jpg

Almost done with loans! Help me get there :)

Hi there!

My name is Hannah and I am so close to paying off all my debt – which includes student loans, a car loan, and some CC debt.

I am 27 years old, living in Columbus, Ohio and I work for a Christian nonprofit. My work includes spreading the hope and love of Jesus Christ to 200,000 in Central Ohio. I LOVE what I do, but as you can imagine, the nonprofit work life does not do much in regards to salary.

I have been working hard since I graduated college in 2014 to pay off my student loan and I am ALMOST there. Just about $3,000 left (yay!). I did purchase a car in 2014 and I have just $1500 left on that to go, and as many millennial’s have, I fell into the the trap of the infamous Credit Card and acquired debt there as well. I have been throwing money like a crazy person at that debt and I have it down to $2500. So in total, I have roughly $7000 in debt left and I can taste the finish line.

I’ll be honest, I am exhausted from this debt pay off experience. I now know that Credit Cards are not for me and I have cut mine up. I want to praise Dave Ramsey (well known financial coach) for teaching me his ways – I have a profoundly new perspective on what it looks like to respect my budget and this respect myself.

I need your help to get me across the finish line into financial freedom. I will dance and sing and shout praises to the Lord when that day comes. I am PRAYING it is sooner rather than later.

Thank you so much for considering helping me and bringing me closer to that freedom. :)

Help Me Pursue My Hobby

Hello strangers :D

My story is not sad or tear-inducing (thankfully), though my circumstances still make it so that I kinda need money right now 😅

Basically I am an asylum seeker – and have been for the past 6 years. Our immigration status doesn’t allow us to work, and we are given about £30 a week to pay for everything except house bills (so food, clothes, bus tickets, going out, etc…). I don’t want to complain too much – at least I have a roof over my head and food on the table – but as a teenager it’s kind of depressing having to repeatedly make excuses to my friends everytime they invite me to go out with them, or when I wish for something for my birthday.

As my asylum claim hasn’t received any substantial answer for 6 years now, it got kind of depressing seeing life go by. All my friends got their first jobs and paychecks, their driving licenses, their first cars, they bought expensive things for their birthdays and splurged in parties, got accepted into University, went on holidays and enjoyed their lives in general as a normal citizen should.

I couldn’t do any of that, and so I turned to one of my dearest hobbies, which is doing art. I have been doing art for… gosh, years – I cannot remember exactly when I started. Before I came to the UK to seek asylum, art was simply a way to pass time. Now, as I find myself at a standstill in life, art brings me comfort and helps all the paranoia and worries of my immigration status and future away.

Art equipment unfortunately is quite expensive. Furthermore, since my friend lent me her iPad Pro for me to try digital art, I am in love with doing just that – digital art. My dream right now is to buy my very own iPad Pro (why does it have to be so expensive 😪) and just continue doing art so that I have something to be happy and look forward to each day.

With you guys’ help, I will be closer to achieving that dream, and so I can do more art and maybe (just maybe) when I’ll finally get my residency status, I will be able to do my dream job: illustrator and graphic designer.

Anyways, thanks for anyone that reads this, and I wish everybody a great day. I hope everyone has something in their lives that makes them happy, like art does it for me 🤗

Trying to learn a trade

BB7A28AC-60AE-4446-B375-3BD5ECD0749B.jpegHi lady’s and gents my name is Jay I’m 27 this is very new and a little embarrassing for me to be stuck for money that I have to ask for help 😞so I’m just going to be honest and explain why I’m asking for help so here it goes.

So like most teens I went to school and spent my years being the class clown and messed around a lot so wasn’t really focused on learning. I didn’t go to college cause I was in such a rush to get stuck into work and I have spend the last 10 years bouncing from job to job trying to find something I like and want to do as a carrer.

So i have earned minimum wage for 10 years and until last year lived on my mothers sofa, but now I have got myself out of there I now have a flat to call home which as most of you will know is where  the real money problems start from tax to water to rent. So the money I earn on these dead end jobs that are most through agency and are getting me nowhere in my future just about covered the bills, food and travel to get to work.

but I have recently discovered a carpentry course I can do whilst I work so I don’t lose any money as I can’t afford to take any days off of the fear of losing my home and starting back on my mums sofa at nearly 28 years old 🤦‍♂️ I have done some odd jobs at home involving wood and for some reason I absolutely love it so I would love nothing more than to get an NVQ in capentry under my belt and stop struggling with everyday life and maybe one day soon be able to afford a holiday or a car without bankrupting myself and constantly worrying about how I’m going to afford a night out with the Lads or treat myself to something nice for once 😊 the course to become fully qualified is 5000£

thank you for reading my story I appreciate any help I can get 🙏🏻  PayPal.me/jaybo991

I need some help starting a online business.

Hi, my name is Hunter I’m 20 years old and at this moment in time I’m going to college and paying my way I do get financial aid, but all of it goes to my savings account for my bachelor’s degree for later down the road.  I have a huge interest in social media marketing and its something I do on the side. I just don’t have the extra funds to start my business. I would have to buy a domain name to host a website, buy products I can sell, pay for advertising, and pay monthly to have a Shopify store. On top of the other little things that come with the learning process. I have made a Shopify store already and I plan to sell Items from Alibaba.  I would definitely love to start an Amazon store but that’s even more expensive, and I would like to get some marketing experience before I head in that direction. My hopes are that I’d be able to bring in $1000 or more passive income a month which would help me in so many ways and lower my stress that comes with being a student and working a part-time job. At the moment I make around 600 every two weeks. $80 of that goes to gas, then $540 for my rent. I also go grocery shopping which you know is like $50-$100 or more if you plan on getting enough food for a good couple of days. And I pay for my own internet which comes out to $270 every three or so months. At the end of the month, I’m left with hardly any money to spare for anything other than food, and gas. I’m hoping someone actually sees this post, all I need is a little boost. I know social media is a risking business to get into because you could fail over and over again. But I have put tons of time aside to learn as much as I could and I feel confident enough that I won’t fail. Even if I don’t bring in $1000 plus monthly I’ll still be happy because it’s Just the beginning for me. In good hopes, that someone sees this I just wanna say thank you for giving this post the time of day and thank you for reading. If you do decide to donate just know I appreciate any amount! And rest assured that It won’t go to waste because I have a mission and an agenda. I didn’t know what type of image to post because I don’t know what could prove I’m telling the truth, but instead I could give updates on my progress. My paypal link is

Life fell apart after Medical Discharge, would like some help

First, thank you to whoever reads this. It sincerely means a lot to me you’d give me some of your time.
Let me paint you the picture. I joined the Air Force for hopes of a better future. It was going to be my greatest step forward, my leap into a better life.
Because up until then, my life hasn’t been easy. Both of my parents are alcoholics, and terribly abusive. I laugh at it sometimes, because it honestly reads like a movie trying too hard for a sad backstory.
My mother, Alcoholic #1, was a train wreck. She focused entirely on her business, giving me little time as a child. And whenever she was home, she’d take out her stresses on me with insane, outrageous punishments. Once, I was locked in a garage for 5 weeks, where I slept on the floor. Another, I was forced to read every verse in the Bible that had the word ‘anger’ before I was allowed to talk or eat anything but bread.
My father was more violent. Once I had to choke him out he was beating me so violently, dragging his unconscious body out of my room. Another, he peed on me drunk in a parking lot.
See what I mean? I make light of how over the top it was because humor makes it an easier pill to swallow, but I still struggle with it, clawing at my mind.
Anyways, I needed a way out. Cut to Military Highschool. I signed myself up for it. It was great, honestly. Then military college. I graduated, let my depression get a hold of me, and got fat.
I decided no, none of that. I’m not going to stay here at home; I spent the next year and a half getting into shape. Studying. Working my ass off. I met my now wife during this time period, and soon after I felt confident, I took my ASVAB, got a 99, and enlisted in the Air Force as a Space and Missile Systems Electronics Maintainer.
I had a full 6 year plan; by the time I got out, I’d have 72k saved up, the full GI bill, and plenty of experience to fulfill my lifetime goal of going back to college for a Biomechanical Engineering degree and starting my own business. I’d lived my entire life for this moment; the moment when I throw off the chains of the past and leap into my own future.
I make it through boot camp. Awesome. I get married. Woo! But then, just a day before I’m about to ship to Tech School? I discovered a previously unknown medical condition, and was disqualified from my job. Okay, I thought, no nuclear job. That’s okay. I’ll fight this, get a waiver, and get a new job in the Air Force.
I fought for four months, with minimal contact with my wife, only to have my rebuttal denied and my ass shipped home. I lost my biggest chance to move away with a secure job, provide for my loving wife, and really push myself towards my goal.
And now I’m delivering pizzas. I’ve never been more depressed. Honestly, to whoever is reading this, I need a way out. My own family has me back in their territory; now they’re even harassing my wife, telling her how terrible of a child I was. Telling us our marriage will fail.
I want to get her, and us, out. I want to move. I want to be able to go back to college and start my business and for her to open her own business, too (she has a cosmetology degree and wants to open a truck that gives haircuts to homeless at night, while selling handmade wigs on her online store).
The problem is right now, I’m stuck. I can barely scratch together enough to keep this all together. To put gas in our tanks and food on the table.
My goal would be to get up to a few thousand to get us moved. My dream would be to get $150k and be able to just disappear from both our families and kickstart both our lives back into motion.
But dammit, even a few dollars help, and I appreciate anything you can give. Again, I appreciate everything. I hope you’re having a fantastic day, and thank you just for reading this. And infinite thanks if you decide to lend a hand.
My Paypal.me: https://paypal.me/startinganewdream
P.S. There aren’t any documents I could post without revealing a ton of private information (DoD Form DD214, court notes against parents, etc), so I posted two things emotionally value to me; my uniform, and my wedding. I hope that’s enough proof.

Years of abuse had enough

im 55 years old , I have 1 son at home about to go to University in sept.

i have lived  with my husband for 10 years married for 6 , of course like any relationship it started wonderful , then as time went on , trying to work hard look after my son and husband I realised nothing was good enough for him constant criticism the look the anger when dinner wasn’t ready the silent treatment for sometimes weeks at a time acting like I don’t even exist, the abuse calling me names when I try to get him to talk telling me to f….. off no one wants you . The trapped feeling taking and hiding the car keys when he’s in one of his moods the vile gestures . Always being aware that he could go off in one of his moods . Anxiety stress nerves.

not knowing if I’ll be able to get to work living in a rural environment, no public transport the humility I feel when I have to say to my employer I’m sick because I can’t get to work . Only having enough money for food control is what he’s about ,struggling whether I can buy this or that or put fuel in the car hoping the tank will get me to work and manage till pay day . The control over the car the money never being able to save .

he has three houses rented out I clean them at end of tenancy and contact repair people when and if they are needed . Painted cleaned up the gardens  checked the properties every 6 months .

Then when I want to leave he won’t let me live in one of the properties, won’t let me give notice won’t let me have car keys won’t let me have any money  I desperate need to get out yet I have no money to pay for a deposit or rent to get into a place to escape him and then divorce him and get the share I deserve my son deserves we are unhappy tense and the atmosphere in the house is instantly turned cold when he walks in the door , no happiness laughter joy . Just criticism, and disappointed looks yet he says he loves me . No he needs me as a cook cleaner and everything else . I’m sad lonely and want to feel free and sing and leave stuff about invite friends over jump about dance oh how wonderful that would feel . Help me escape and get s place of my own to start over with my son and me living not existing .

Thank you

I hope to one day start a charity myself for women like me who just need that little financial help to escape .

 

Thank you you for your time  xxxxxx

a dream to change: help me go to learn bible for a year

To make this campaign I will have to keep my identity anonymous in order to not embarrass my parents. I know it is much harder to get anyone to donate to a cause without being able to put a face to the name but I feel must respect my parent’s wishes.
Although, I cannot supply my name I will tell you with my best ability about myself.
I am a senior in high school, an active member of my community, and from the midwest region of the united states.
I was raised in a modern orthodox/traditional home and although my parents supplied me with everything I needed to thrive as a teen they gave me the right to make my own choice religiously.
So on the outside, I have always looked like a modern Jewish teenage girl but on the inside, for most of my high school career, I was not ignited yet. Fortunately, a while ago (but not so long ago), I have started to rethink my lifestyle and became more religious through youth groups, my community, and my high school.
Currently, for the last year or so I have become an active Orthodox Jewish girl. I have started to pay more attention to what I eat, what I say, what I wear, and overall how I live my life according to the Torah.
Most of my friends and my family were never aware of my struggles because I never thought to speak up about it due to embarrassment.

At the start of my senior year of high school, I made the bold decision to apply for a seminary program alongside my regular secular colleges.  The reason I decided to apply to seminary is clear. I want to further my religious education. Going to seminary and exploring the Bible and who I am and want to be as a person is something that will be vital to my life and how I wish to continue to live. I also know that I am an easily influenced person and I would like to surround myself with Torah, the land of Israel, amazing educators, girls just like me, and many more positive aspects that a seminary program offers that community college will not. Additionally, I have never been to Israel and would love to have the opportunity to go for a full academic year.

You would not believe how happy I was when I got accepted into the seminaries I applied to.  Unfourntuanlty, this happiness was short lasting. Currently, I am working almost every single day on top of going to school five days a week until 5 pm.  Although I work, I simply still do not have the funds to cover the down deposit due very shortly. Making minimum wage to pay for college/seminary and other expenses is not the best situation yet a hard one to get around.
I have applied to several scholarships but those will not cover the down deposit and there is no knowing if I will even receive them. If you don’t know what a down deposit it is: it is essentially a sum that holds down your place in seminary and part of your tuition. if it is not paid your place may be given to another well deserving student.

I am asking for the  community help to get my down deposit (holding place and part of tuition) paid. Any amount will help and I will be forever grateful for it because the opportunity to go to seminary would mean the world for me.

Please read my story, donate, and share my campaign with your friends and families!

Terminally ill bucket list

This is the hardest thing I have ever had to do!
My fiancé and I have had a plan in action since we first knew we wouldn’t be with anyone else as long as we live.

We are getting married in August this year after 3 years of saving. Our honeymoon is a trip to Mexico, which is fully paid for.

Over the course of the next 3 years we planned crossing a few things off our bucket lists.
Visiting many of the wonders of the world and taking in a vast amount of the world’s different cultures.

After 3 years we was planning having another child and expanding our family.

My fiancé turned 30 a few weeks ago, and after 7 months of tests and constant hospital visits we got the outcome.

4 days after her birthday she was diagnosed with 3 different cancers, one of which has started eating away at her ribs.

We now have approx 21 months left together.

I’ve always worked and never bought anything or travelled unless I could pay for it all.

With NO time to save I have resorted to coming here.

I would like to try and visit at the very least the destinations that she had always wanted to go to.

I am here to ask infact BEG for some help.

My aim is to raise around £10,000 to enable us to fulfill her dreams before it’s her time to leave, or at least before she is too weak to travel.

Any donations will be greatly appreciated and all the donations will help a young lady live her dreams, being taken from the world so young is heartbreaking so if I can make it easier for her I will.

I hope there are kind people out there who can help.

Many thanks.

I miss my husband.

Think you could lend a hand for love?

I mean…I must be a bit desperate for sending some random person on the internet a heartfelt message asking for money but…well yeah I am.

Here’s the thing, I met my husband three years ago online. He was smart, funny, handsome, and oh! that accent. See, David (my mans) is Australian. So skip forward a couple of years and I packed two big suitcases and moved to Perth, Western Australia to live with this hunk.

Things were great! But….as I’m sure you know, Visas have expiration dates. So come February 2018, we started realizing I’d have to leave soon. Then….he popped the question. And duh, I said yes.

I’m not trying to bore you with this backstory I promise but it’s important!

So, May 8, 2018, we got married without a dime to our name. It was a simple, romantic, and perfect day. Then…May 10 (yep, two days later) I flew back to the States and we started working on his green card application.

It’s January 2019 now. I haven’t seen, hugged, or kissed my husband in 8 months. I miss him more than typed out words could ever say. We originally thought his application should be approved by May, but turns out even just part one won’t be complete until our anniversary.

Look, I’m broke as hell. I work 40+ hours a week and deliver Postmates on the weekends and I’m still just making ends meet. I want to see my husband for our anniversary, May 8th. And I really want to surprise him with my arrival by February 19th (his birthday).

Again, this is slightly embarrassing but I’m running out of options and at this point, I’m willing to do what it takes to just hold him for a little while again. I really do miss him so much and the distance isn’t helping our marriage.

The ticket is $950. I realize that’s WAY too much to ask of you. Anything would be incredible (plus tax returns are soon so I’m hoping for the best there). Please…please let this reach you. And I hope you understand how incredibly important this inquiry is.

Thank you for reading my super long and romantic sob story!

dope free for 5 years and counting

Hi, so let me just throw a bunch of heavy stuff your way but be very blunt about it and to the point. When I was 15 my dad shot himself after abusing me my entire childhood; he had a great heart, but he was a relapsed addict/alcoholic who just couldn’t keep his cool. I was young and dumb, and I followed in his footsteps. I started shooting dope and tore my life apart. I went to a private school my entire life, still graduated high school, got a 28 on my ACT, had decent grades, but dope was more powerful than that. I made a lot of poor choices, and I ended up in prison. I didn’t physically harm anyone, but I definitely didn’t make positive choices. Well, anyways, I got out of prison about 4 years ago. Since then, I’ve gotten married, gotten a new car, and I’ve maintained a job non-stop. I waited tables for two and a half years straight at the same restaurant. My then-manager’s husband owns an electric company, and he offered me a job and schooling as an electrician, so I’m doing that now. I’ve been working for his company for over a year straight, and I’m in school as well. My first semester, I got a 99.45 average. I’m pretty proud of it. Lately, I’ve been working tons of overtime, trying to get my head above water. While my wife was without a job (for quite a while), I maxed out a credit card on groceries, etc. The card only tops out at $500, so not a ton or anything. Also, I owe $10,000 on my car, around $8000 in student loans, and several other miscellaneous things. On top of those things, the people I stole from and hurt when I was strung out—well, I’d like to repay them. It would mean the world to me. I’ve done my time, and I’ve moved on with my life. I have been clean for years and years, and I’ve even tried my part at giving back. I got certified as a peer recovery specialist and volunteered at a treatment facility here in town. I’m basically here because I saw this hilarious skit youtube video from some comedian named Rowan or something where he begs for a million bucks, and I thought to myself, “Hmmm… Well, I know this is a joke video series, but he is right when he says ‘if you don’t ask for something, then of course no one will help you’ or something along those lines.” There most definitely is a lot of truth to that. Anyways, this is a legitimate post, and I hope this website doesn’t use this to send spam emails to people claiming to be from some random country and in need of help to escape or whatever. I really just want to live comfortably, and I know there are a lot of super rich people out there who probably get bored with their money and actually do just help people, and I figure maybe one of those people will stumble upon this post and decide to help me out. I figure 50 grand would pay off my car, my little credit card, my student loan debt, buy my wife a new car before her current one just explodes, and give us enough to set back for future emergencies. We’d both sleep better at night, and we’d be much happier in general. Not rich, just comfortable. Right now, we both work so much that we barely see each other. It would be nice to be debt-free and have that small cushion. Maybe we could just work a little overtime instead of 7 days a week, 10 hour shifts and crazy things like that. Sure, I’m young, but I’m not superman. Anyways, thanks for the read either way :)

Help with various bills, treat my daughters, and treat my wonderful girlfriend.

Hi!  I am not sure if this will work, but willing to try…

There are a few different things here, so bear with me…

First, I am a single dad, and my oldest daughter just moved in with me.  She is turning 21 soon, and her PS3 is taking a crap on her… I would like to get her a brand new PS4 with games, but I am barely making ends meet.  She is a gamer like me, and has been very frustrated with her system not working. She is a good kid, with a good head on her shoulders.  She is smart, independent, and I want to see her succeed!  This is also a good father/daughter activity since I enjoy gaming too!

Second, I would also like to get a little ahead on my bills (electric, gas, car payments, etc) so I am not just struggling between paychecks.  Yes, I do work full time, but just barely make enough to get by.  I try to make sure all my bills are paid, so that I have a place to call home.  I live in a small, one bedroom apartment, and it is cramped.  Even before my daughter moved it, it was cramped.  I would eventually like to move to a bigger place, but cannot currently afford it.

Third, I have another daughter who just turned 11. She is great, but I am getting frustrated at always telling her that I don’t have the money to go anywhere.  I can rarely take them to the movies, have not been to the zoo in years, etc…  We mainly just stay home.  I know that quality time when them is important, but I don’t want her childhood memories to be boring.  I would like to be able to take them to fun places more often.  I want her to have fun memories!

And last, I have a wonderful girlfriend!  After my divorces from the mothers of my 2 kids, I was beginning to think that I would not find someone to love again.  I have had a few relationships between my last divorce and my current girlfriend, but they did not go anywhere. Now, the girlfriend I have now is amazing! She truly loves me for me!  I can truly be my goofy, nerdy self with her! We are close to celebrating our one year anniversary together, and I could not be happier!!  But, along with my kids, I cannot afford to do anything truly special for this wonderful woman that has entered my life! She has met both of my daughters, and they like her too!  She is sweet, caring, and I want to spend the rest of my days with her!

Finally, I just want to say that any help would be greatly appreciated!  I feel that I am a good person, and that I try to provide for my loved ones.  My 2 daughters that I love more than anything, and my wonderful girlfriend that has shown me the love that I needed!

I work hard, and try to provide. I am just a guy trying to take care of my family the best I can.  Though, as my kids get older, I feel that I cannot provide as much as I would like and what they deserve!  I am not asking for anyone to buy me a house, or to be able to send my kids to the best schools.  I am just asking for help to give them a bit better than what I can currently provide.  Any help would be appreciated!

Hoping for One Last Chance

First of all I want to say hello to everyone out there that will take time out of their lives to read what I am about to write and thank those as well that consider helping. I honestly did not know that there was a site like this that existed. I don’t even know where to begin with all this. How much does anyone out there want to hear about how screwed up things have gotten?  I always tell my friends that I’ve been to hell and back two times and fought the devil herself and made it back to live another day lol.

First off let me say I am a forty five year old single dad who is proud to say that I have the best kid a father could ever had asked for. He is my world. He is what gets me up each and every morning and makes me want so much for him to succeed in life. He is nine years old going on thirteen it seems like and although he will always be my little buddy, I am finding it harder to call him that since he has already grown almost to my shoulders and I’m 6’1”. I’ve had my share of ups and downs over the past fifteen to sixteen years and I know there are many people out there in the world that have gone through so much and are as deserving if not more. My son is what makes my heart beat  and I do try very hard to not let him down. He relies on me so damn much that I feel sometimes like I’ve let him down because of the breakup and not being a family.

So I guess now I will start with my first ex. I honestly did believe that she was it but to be honest, the way things went down, I guess prove I’m just a bit too nice. I met my first ex when she walked across the street one evening many many years back and asked for a cup of sugar. So cliche I know but it did happen that way and we were together for about five years.  My dad had gotten very ill at that time and I was going back and forth to the hospital to see him every day. Well within about two weeks he lost his battle. My dad was my dad and unfortunately  while the problem with my father was occurring, I had come home one evening from seeing him at the hospital and who do I find outside my home getting pretty chummy with my wife? Her supervisor from work. Not exactly something I want to see after coming home depressed from dealing with my dad who is dying. It was a bit devastating. My dad would lose his battle soon after and the relationship went sour. I pretty much called it quits the day I came home from work and saw that the house we shared was completely cleaned out. All the furniture was gone, drawers left open and even all the $400 worth of groceries we had just bought from Costco not two days before were removed from the cupboards and from inside the refrigerator. I mean really who does something like that. Insane stuff.

My current ex I met at work about a year and a half after splitting with the last one. Now believe it or not I did truly think my dad was looking out for me from up above and wanted me to be happy again. That’s why we were able to come across each other and end up dating  Yes everything was great for the first few years then again went sideways and we ended the relationship. But I did receive one awesome and priceless godsend and that was my son. That is the one great thing I could tell you came out of all the mess I have been through. My boy means so so much to me. I wish I could’ve had things squared away by now but I have not been that fortunate. My son does great in school, gets a lot of praise from his teachers and always tries to help in anything he does. Those are the kinds of things that makes a dad proud.

Let me end by saying a few things. When I went through my divorce I also ended up losing the house to foreclosure which was the start of my downfall. I tried hard to maintain but it became impossible. I went from having a mid 700 credit score to ending up with something like a very low 510 score and all my credit was pretty much shot. I had to let mostly all my accounts become delinquent. I’ve worked very hard to build that score back up but I’m not good enough to get a loan from my bank even with a score about 755. All I’m asking for is a second chance. I truly hope that I do get one and I can get my life back on track with my son. I hate struggling from paycheck to paycheck but unfortunately it is life sometimes.  I have no problem paying the bank back or even those that do consider helping me out. It is very hard for me to accept the generosity of strangers because I feel embarrassed about it. I will say this though.. I do believe in returning the favor and giving back  if it takes me the next ten years to pay everyone back then so be it. I know that what I ask for may or may not happen or it may only be fulfilled a little. I can’t control fate in this circumstance. All I can do is write out my thoughts and hopes and see what happens. The amount I need is $54,263.69  Yes it is a specific amount and it is not all of my debt. I still have a little more but if I could get assistance with this then my life could change so much better and I would be able to prosper instead of living from check to check. One last thing..I do realize no one out there will know who I am not whether they want to believe me or not. All I can hope for is that people do hear me and understand that I am a real person and not some scam artist. I’m not looking to just receive it. I give my word that I will pay back every last cent even though I don’t know how long it will take. I don’t really prefer to post pictures because I don’t even know what to post aside from selfies but I do not think it is safe to put a picture of myself or especially my son on this site.  I do apologize but I don’t feel comfortable doing it. Thank you again for taking the time to read this. It is long but it is all on the up and up. I promise you I would never waste anyone’s time in this matter. If you decide to donate to my cause please note I only use the post office box for all correspondence. My paypal link is

Everyday living while studying.

Hello there, to who is reading this. I don’t really know how to do this but am just gonna try to saying how my situation is: I am 23 years old, currently studying ( Master’s degree) and I live with my boyfriend(away from home, in a different country. I came to this country to be with him, as well as to study, since the country I am currently in gives better study opportunities, but with a limited budget that I saved up when I was working in the summer during college through Erasmus programs. However, despite living together, we don’t share the everyday costs and utilities. He mainly pays for those because, unlike me, he worked for a period and still does it intermittently when his school program allows it. I know, why don’t I also work?To be honest.., I just feel that I cannot manage both a master’s and working. My school schedule is pretty messy, so I find it hard to fit working into it, plus it is hard for me to focus on more things at the same time. ( I know, it doesn’t sound like what an adult does, but that’s how I am..) As a matter of fact, before coming here I was determined that I would also get a job, besides studying.. But I guess my planning didn’t go that great.. You cannot just imagine some plans and expect reality to shape itself after it.
But moving on, I just feel very bad because I am not providing any financial help, like.. I wish I could just buy food myself too.. and stop feeling so bad all the time because of it..
I forgot to mention that my studies are fee-free. So this wouldn’t be for paying my study fees, but for everyday life. And if it will be enough for everyday living, and a bit extra, then I would like to send my parents back home some money too because they are struggling very much.( My parents live in the countryside, and they depend on their crops and cows for their daily income, but that it’s hardly only enough to survive the days.. and my dad is awfully sick because when he was younger he abused alcohol.. and because of being sick, he stays inside the house most of the time, which leaves my mom to have to do all the hard work thats hers, but his also.. and she doesn’t have the strength for that..and so every now and then she may have a glass of home-made booze to give her some strength to carry out with the daily tasks… but the thing is that she is also on pills for anxiety/depression.. and combining that with alcohol…. it’s just really not good. So I wish I could provide them some money too to ease their work somehow.. I plan on doing also when i finish my studies and get a proper job, but for now I cannot do that…) All in all, everything stresses me and sometimes depresses me and I just don’t know what to do.. so here I am at almost 3 am in the morning writing this, hoping that it would reach someone..

So however may be reading this… I have no special charity reasons to ask for donations.. I am a simple person struggling with everyday life who is now asking for your help.. I hope that one day I will be able to replay it, perhaps not directly back to you, reader, but to the world.
I don’t know how I left you after reading what I said, I just wanted to say the truth and how things are currently in my life and hopefully.. something good would come out of it. I must admit, I do feel bad for asking for donations.. whereas I should just work off my ass, but like I said, I don’t feel I can cope with both work and studies.. so just for now, when things are trembling, I ask for a bit of help..
Life isn’t easy and everyone has their own battle to fight, and that is why I hope that one day I will be able to repay the world.. Good comes with small things.. step by step.
If my wish had any power, I would just wish that we would all be happy, healthy, free of problems, enjoying life and all there is to it.. But life ain’t easy..

So whoever you may be, traveler, I thank you deeply for your consideration and I hope that life gets better for everyone that’s struggling.. We got to stay strong and fight true. Never give up, and always get back on our feet!

Save us

Our true problems arose Jan 2018, I was laid of from my former employer doing carpentry and living at my girlfriends uncles out of desperation. Considering it was a very cold winter in Yelm, Washington and my truck didn’t hold heat very well. Immediately after getting laid I applied for unemployment and did not qualify, so I went to work for an older man down the road who had owned his own company, so now I’m an Iron worker, getting paid monthly, commuting 2 hours one way to Bellevue, and working 12 hour shifts. Furthermore, I worked for about three months until I lacerated my tendon in my thumb.

MY THUMB, thumbs are truly the most important body part when it comes doing basically anything, like putting on your socks, playing Xbox, and swinging a hammer. Next was my girlfriend lost attraction I guess, being verbally shamed by her uncle, a long surgery, a split to keep my thumb from dangling, and physical therapy for the next 6 months. That’s really just a brief explanation, but by far the worth part of the whole thing was having to exercise, stretch, ice/heat repeat, and massage the scar tissue every hour every single day and each exercise took 30-45 min. I’m grateful to still have thumb, although movement is tight and cold weather make it ache. What ruined me was the fact that the old man never paid me for any of the work I did and when I tried to file a claim with L&I his company didn’t exist and his name was a John Doe.

So here I am June 2018, no money, in a crazy amount of debt from medical bills, and depressed out of my mind. BUT suddenly everything panned out, I got out of my splint, graduated from Physical therapy, and got a job working for a pipe supply company driving a forklift handling material for underwater utilities making $16 hr, still driving one hour to Auburn but I had to make something work plus they had so many benefits that helped me with medical expenses.

Now a change of course, my girlfriend which I’d been dating for 2 years, fought a significant amount of battles with, and helped her through HARD times. Her mothers suicide was the most difficult battle we faced, and this was 2 months before our relationship so I wasn’t in a splint or unemployed or anything, not that it matters anyways. BUT MY GIRLFRIEND, come to find out now after all this time together trying to support one another, getting into our own APARTMENT, and getting ENGAGED. She fucking CHEATED with THREE different guys while I was injured, and one more 3 months into our relationship.

To wrap all this up now, it’s not the injury that tore me apart, it’s the infidelity and the worst part about it is she lied about it. Even after I showed her the old phone she had been using before she insisted on upgrading to the latest IPHONE. NOW January 23, 2018 here I sit with an unemployed girlfriend, now currently laid off due to seasonal slow down, stuck on a 1 YEAR lease with nowhere to go, or should I say run and hide. This is the most I have vented to anyone about my emotional and physical hardships and the amount of pain I have felt. I missed Christmas day at my moms, spent endless hours on the suicide hotline crying my eyes out, blaming my injury or attitude at the time, or even my depression. BUT REALLY after everything I have learned one thing, don’t trust anyone.

SO HERE I AM. 21 YRS old sitting in an empty apartment with my laptop from 9th grade begging for money for my financial ruin, and also searching for jobs on indeed. I owe another $1300 in medical bills, $900 for rent at the end of the month, $788 for my car payment and insurance, $153 for our phones, food and electricity, OH and gas to get from A to B. All due at the end of this month, or I lose the last bit of positive outlook on my life, and probably go clinically insane. My wish is for happiness, not just for me but for my FIANCE as well, its truly a difficult situation, and everything has been putting me down so I figured I would BEG for money considering I don’t have much to lose AND continue having this roof over my head, and a place to sleep.

Thanks for hearing me out, if I don’t get the cash its okay because it felt good to express all my feelings and emotions.

 

THANK YOU,

TODD

Travel and Medical help.

Hello my name is Rylah I am going to do my best to sum up my situation in this box. I have been busting my ass to make money doing my arts and streaming but being an artist is rough unless you’re hitting it off right away. I have always been obsessed with Japan and it’s culture and people. I met my girlfriend over a language tutoring app for Japanese. She lives in Japan and I live in the US. We both hope to meet each other some day and she plans on visiting the US first and I’m hoping to go back with her and visit Japan. This woman is amazing she treats me with such love and care more than I could imagine and makes me feel like I can do and overcome anything and always keeps me pushing. Recently she has fallen very ill and been admitted to the hospital. We haven’t been able to contact each other for about 4 weeks due to hospital rules of no devices and I’m sure her phone is dead by now. She would always give me little updates when she could and even was sent home but her sickness got worse and she returned to hospital care. I haven’t heard from her since… As you may think this situation is driving me absolutely crazy not being able to message her or talk to her for such a long period of time.. Even though she wants to visit the US first I feel like I need to go there and be by her side in this dire time. Maybe I’m over reacting? maybe she’ll contact me soon enough once she’s better? I don’t know all I know is I want to support her with bills and be able to be by her side no matter where I am I want to be by her. Please if you have anything to spare even a dollar helps I want to be able to meet the woman of my dreams and help her more than I already do. Thank you.

Harley wish

Hi I’m 65 years of age and was diagnosed with cancer in August 2018, I’ve had an operation and chemo, and now going through the agonising wait to see if it works, one thing that has always been on my wish list was to own and ride a harley, with this on mind I sold my caravan which I used to go on holidays, not getting as much as I hoped for it due to faults on it that I was not aware off, I then sold my truck I used to tow the caravan, again not getting as much as I had hoped, partly my fault due to lack of maintenance and partly due to UK gov making the tests more difficult to pass on diesel vehicles. I honestly don’t see any way forward for me, I’m retired and get a misely £129 pension,which don’t go far, I’ve raised £6000 by selling my assets but am £4000 short, I assumed wrongly I’d get a loan for the rest but for 1 I’m 65 and a pensioner so don’t qualify any more as I’m not working, I’ve never asked anybody in my life for anything, to be honest I don’t know how long I’d get to enjoy the harley hopefully a few happy years who knows, I know the doctors do there best and I’m sure they will for me, if there’s anyone who would like to donate  to my dream I’d appreciate it a lot, and at least when I pass on there will be something of value to be sold to bury me, I’m not pulling your heart strings, just saying as it is, I have had a good life so far and raised some wonderful kids not all my own but you help where you can don’t you,  just age has caught up with me health wise and cash wise, hopefully some one will feel I deserve my wish.  My PayPal is.

COLLEGE STUDENT

HI! Im a college studend in greece and im 19 years old.

I love fitness, spirituality,growth,awareness, and living a successful life.

From the time i was born until now i had a bad relationship with money. My mind was programmed to think that money is hard to find.

So as i said,because i love growth as an individual i realized that something that we have in our lives is the result of our beliefs.

I started to question my relationship with money. I started being aware of my beliefs around money. And some things became better. I started to attract free stuff ext.

Im telling you all of this because i trully respect money.

I dont want to spend money on things that dont bring me value. I think in terms of value. What will bring me value? What can i do to provide value?

I workout (calisthenics) and i put all my money to good food, great information, mentors, programs, and things i find interesting.

If i had all the money i want i would invest it in a bussiness idea that bring me enough money to support my body and my mind.

I dont want fancy cars, fancy clothes or anything. Its not that i think that all this are bad but im a simple guy. I dont want many things. Of course if i had large amounts of money i would buy some of that. But im trying to say that i know that for living the life that i want, i dont need much money.

I always try to grow as an individual and admit to my flaws. I try to do my best to give myself the best. 90% of my money goes to quality food and mentors. Im not the typical college student that goes to bars and clubs and drinks. Its not in my interests.

Im commited to growth, expansion and awareness. I want to support my brothers and sisters because they still have a bad relationship with money.

I will be honest most of the money is because im invented in ME. Its sounds egoic but i cant give what i dont have. I cant give the best if im not the best.

I have many talents and great information to share. But im humble enough to know that i still have to learn. I say that because i always knew i wanted to become a coach. So because i dont feel ready to start something like this, im not starting a bussiness. But im ready to put in the work and learn from the best. Find new mentors, great books, having time to reflect.

Its not about effort or will. I love all of that. And thats why i need support. I am a humble college student that wants to become the best so as to help other people become too!

I started from scratch. When i was in high school i was a shy kid, overweight, low confidence… didnt had anything at all… and im not exaturating. It was a long road till i started to take my power back.

FIrtsly i started reading self help books. Then exercise. Then meditation. And it was a snowball effect.

Now im a healthy good looking guy that has confidence. That knows how its to feel like sh*t. I have empathy. I know how hard it is. I know how it is to feel desperate. Im destinted to become a coach in some way. Not that im bragging but i feel that life put to to that amount of pain to give me the gifts i have today.

And yes i admit that i think i deserve more. I know my value. I know that with some guidance i can trully grow as an individual.

I thought one time that i want to become someone big. But sadly it was because in my childhood i felt insignificant. I Felt un-seen. Un-heard. SO yea in a sense i have this shadow aspect of me that wants to accomplish big things.

But i also know that i genually love to nourish my body, mind and soul. I want to take care of myself. I want to eat the best quality food. Drink the best water. Having time to just relax and have fun.

Do i do all of that? Yes i do. But in the back of my mind there is a fear that i will not have that. That i will have to do a job i hate. That i will not have time to workout and do my proactises.

SO YES i need support. I need individuals who can see value in other people. Individuals who value people more than money. I need someone to say “whatever you want i will be here for you” I didnt had that. I Had to say it to myself. I had to believe in myself. And believe me is not an easy road.

When you are programmed to believe that you dont deserve things, money, support, love you litterally have to change your entire self.

I still have financial problems. I still cant ask to someone for help.

Any amount of support will be so valuable to me. I know how to respect money. I know how to respect other people.

Im just a 19 year old with a big heart and a genuine desire to grow as a person.

Im surviving not living

Hello I’m Noelle, and if I’m reaching out like this I must be feeling like I need help. for once.

I don’t even know how to begin but I have struggled financially since I left home to go to art school. I grew up in a very abusive household, physically and verbally. My father hustled for money doing under the table remodeling work and random jobs, and my mother worked three jobs to support her expensive taste and shopping habits.

After they split we lived solely with my mother and my siblings and I were constantly reminded of the financial burden we were putting on my them,they were always angry, expressing constant frustrations about their failed relationshop, never took family vacations, and when we were old enough to work our paychecks went straight to my mother. There was never any guidance on how to handle finances well, or were given the opportunity to set us up for adulthood, only leading by bad example.

Long story short I’ve been struggling since I’ve left home at 18 and I’m 41 now. I try my hardest to get ahead but I feel that no matter how hard I work I’m still just focusing on fixing my past.
I left for college as soon as I graduated with no information or skills to survive.

My heath and well being have taken a toll, I struggle to make even a doctors appointment regularly. Even things like the dentist are way low on my priority list. Rent is always first, necesity is always last.

Yes Ive made countless mistakes early on, but I had no knowledge or awareness of real life ahead when I left home at 18.

I just need some help, even if its a little. Ive been repairing for so long I haven’t been able to live like I should. I feel like Im a living version of my parents collective hatred. Always in the middle as a small child still paying for their mistakes, because they preferred to dump their lives mistakes on me instead of giving me the attention I deserved. Instead of love and support they’d tell me what was always wrong with them and physically took out their anger on me.

I will say I have been successful as an adult and in my career, but no matter what I’m doing I’m still repairing, never enough for the self care I need with things like regular checkups, dentist, and basic needs like clothes and food sometimes.

If you’re willing to help id appreciate that greatly.

Feel free to message me with any questions I am an open book and will share my story further.

I’ve made a lot of bad decisions.

A few months ago I found out that my brother has a cancer,they call it hodgkin’s lymphoma stage 3. He is my older brother whose life has not been easy,no one’s life is . Both me and my brother come from a poor family and have not received the best skills to cope in this world. We have seen hunger and violence. We have experienced it on our skin and we know what it can do with the mind of a growing person. I have been suffering for years from depression and Bi polarity disorder. It’s been my life, and if I’m not looking for help at the age of 29, I don’t know if I’ll ever will. I need help and i want help and the same wants my brother. But the aid is costing, he would need the money that he wouldn’t have to worry about household worries like rent and utilities and could concentrate on getting healthy. I need money so I can look for help and go back to school. I’ve always wanted to become a writer. But in order to do all this and focus on these things, I need time. Time for me and time for my brother. . I would like to surprise my brother and give her hope that everything will be right for both of us .I’m not a bad person though I’ve made a lot of bad decisions in my life. I want to start again and I want my brother to have a new start, a new opportunity. I know life is not easy and free lunches do not exist. I want to get healed and help others who wrestle with the same Satan day by day. This would mean a new start for both of us. The second coming. I can’t put it into words how much it would change our lives. But there are many other great projects on this page that need your help more than we do. If you can’t help us, maybe help some of them . I am extremely grateful for every penny .I thank you for reading this story.

Struggling mom of 4 boys

Since having my second son I have suffered on and off with crippling depression and anxiety, but I have the mom life skill of putting a brave front on everything and I feel the outside world couldn’t tell….

Well the cracks are beginning to show, quite literally, my anxiety levels are at their highest point and I feel like the world is suddenly against me. Everything is going wrong.

I have a child who has a form of dwarfism called Russell silver syndrome. He struggles to walk long distances. He is 5 years old and we rely heavily on our car for simple things like the school run, which even though it’s only 0.8 miles from our house he struggles to walk.

The car died! Repair cost was more than value of the car so we are now car-less. This means Monday to Friday I have to walk all 4 boys to school, my 5 year old can’t physically do this so has to go in a pushchair which he hates! It is humiliating for him and terrible for his self esteem but with a 9,7 and 3 year old to also contend with I can’t carry him half way when he gets tired and walk safely by the roads with the other three.

The celing in the boys bedroom is also on the brink of caving in and I have debts coming out of my eyeballs from trying to keep the family afloat.

My husband works long hours away from home and barely sees the kids but barely brings enough money home to cover our homes running costs. The work life balance for him is so poor I may as well be a single parent. He’s never around, but we have no choice but for him to work.

My sons disability has been declined at renewal which has left us £500 a month worse off so in even more of a dire situation than before. We can’t afford the nursery fees for me to go out to work too either.

We have no savings to replace either the car or repair the damaged celing which I’m constantly worried will cave in at any moment.

I feel like everything is piling on top of me and while money doesn’t buy happiness, in my life and for my mental wellbeing it would go a mighty long way in easing the stresses.

My sons are picking up on my low mental mood and sadness and I don’t want them to worry about mummy being sad all the time or to worry about what we can and can’t afford. I want them to enjoy being children.

Believe in Positive Change

I’m on this site, asking for donations, to help achieve my career goals and life goals. I am a 25 year old female just beginning my pipe fitting / plumber apprenticeship here in Colorado. I moved across the country looking for better career opportunities and found my passion. There aren’t many women in the trades, especially in my chosen field, but I am determined to change that, leading by example.

For those who are not aware, apprentices only make 55% journeyman wage and have no say in which jobs we can take, which also means we cannot travel when work slows in our local area. At times, this may mean our hours are cut short or we are subject to layoffs.  This has made it difficult for me to pay for my apprenticeship book fees, union dues, as well as my basic bills like electricity and food.

I have always been a strong-willed, independent individual  determined to succeed. However work hours have come up short, at my union job and my side dog-walking job, and my bills continue to pour in. If this lull in work continues for much longer, I may be forced to find another way to make money and give up my career dreams I’ve worked so hard for.

I’m here to reach out my hand and ask for donations to help me stay afloat in these troubling months.  Please, help me make a positive change. Not just for myself, but also for this trade and all young women out there.

 

Thank you

Short term help

Hi-

I help take care of an elderly mother, both physically and financially, in addition to helping support another elderly family friend.

I’m a capable person and a good writer; I’m revising the first draft of a book I’ve written and it will be ready in a couple of months.

I am unable to work a regular job for a couple of reasons: I have to be available to be with my mother, and I am no longer physically able to do work on my feet.

I have been very fortunate in my life. Two years ago I was able to donate money to charities, and to several people who had astronomical medical bills. I donated to friends and strangers.

I’m happy I could do that. A more frugal person would have saved the money and most probably not be in the situation in which I find myself. But I have never felt comfortable not helping if I could help.

I have about $4 to my name right now. I would like to not be under the enormous stress I feel. If I could get through the next couple of months I know I can be earning through my writing. I’m hoping there is someone who is willing to help me, as I was willing to help others. I’ve pawned everything of value that I own and am selling some clothes I have to pay some bills.

If I had $5000 I know I could continue to support the people I’m supporting and pay my bills until this book gets an advance.

Oddly, I don’t feel ashamed asking for help. I know there have to be people out there like me, who are happy to give when they can, and know that they are easing the crushing tsunami of financial worries for someone.

Rest assured-I will pay this forward.

I appreciate you taking the time to visit this site, and whether you help me or someone else, you’re doing a wonderful thing. Thank you. paypal.me/contrarycherry

Soulmates Trying to Live Life

 

My beautiful fiancee and I want to start living. Both of our lives have SUCKED due to our parents and mental health issues. We finally started to learn how to live THIS year. My dad died and it changed my world. It made us wake up. IT was so sudden…I don’t want to waste my life anymore. I can’t. We have been scared for so long to take the leap to move out and FINALLY do the things that are healthy and good for us.

US

We are two 23 year old women, madly in love since high school. We have now been together for 7 years. Not one huge argument. Not one breakup. We hold each other up and I never knew I could have something so beautiful in life.

We are a**holes, but the kind that loves to roast their friends but also shows up at their doorstep with soup and medicine when you need us.

We do EVERYTHING we can for our siblings and friends. Both of my siblings are struggling to pay for college, and I have been trying to help them make payments because I want them to follow their dreams, they are SO TALENTED. My brother is an AMAZING cinematographer. Only 19, but we all truly think he can make it. Want to see his stuff? let me know.

 

OUR PROMISE:  I get it. Why us? Well, because I SWEAR to you, we won’t let you down. We just want to enjoy life and that starts with starting to pay off our debt. We want to TRAVEL, we want PETS, we want to ADOPT, we want to GIVE BACK, we want to VOLUNTEER, we want to EXPLORE.

OUR PLAN

Pay debts, save money, move out within the next 6 months. We are both currently applying for higher positions jobs since we just graduated, and currently doing interviews. And…cat. We want to adopt a cat to love.

A very rough start for 2019…

Hello to anyone reading this and thank you for taking the time to do so.

My name is Jesse, I’m 25 years old and to be honest, I’ve never done anything like this before. Back in October of 2018, I was really sick for the whole month and was nearly hospitalized. While I managed to get better towards the end, I ended up losing my Seasonal job that paid me $14 an hour 8-5pm Monday-Friday and had to make my dog walking side job into my full time job to pay rent. While my body was better, my mental health sank more and more until the stress of finding a new job, living on very little paychecks, getting behind on payments, house moving issues, car issues between my roommates and myself, and countless of other little things which eventually caused me to enter into a very dark place. On December 7th, I tried to commit suicide. I was officially hospitalized in the Psychiatric ward specifically to help with victims of trauma (which is a backstory not really needed here).

While I was hospitalized, I was informed that along with being diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), Major Anxiety Disorder, Major Depressive Disorder, PTSD, I was going to have to be on 4 different kinds of medication and see a therapist to help. I no longer have the health insurance to pay for these medications anymore or for visiting my therapist/psychiatrist. After being released, I tried bouncing back into the swing of walking dogs again until my number 1 client canceled his dog services with me and all the available walks are atleast 9+ miles from my location and I cannot currently afford the gas to use most of it for just one dog (if I get so lucky now since business has really died down due to the holidays and snowy weather).

Most recently, our city had a major snow storm which caused over 800+ people to lose power and you guessed it, I was one of those “lucky” people. I’m still hunting for another job, but I really need some help just getting caught back up after this terrible storm and turn 2019 around.

The following is just a few of the major things I really need help with:
-Car payment is $900
-Credit Card is $1800
-Car Insurance due at the end of January which is $500
-Rent that is due at the end of the month is $110
-Utilities round to $150 because of needing to use heat
-Replacing the food lost in the snow storm which can be $50-100
-Gas for Car would be $40 for a full tank

Any kind of sent amount would help out a lot and you can use the paypal link below! Even just having $5 sent can help put gas into my car or be able to get some cat food for my sweet kitty who lost his homemade kitty foods. Thank you once more for your kindness in reading this, and I hope you have a blessed day. <3

A Last Hope <3

Hi.

I’m not quite sure who might come across this request, if anyone, so I hope it’s understandable if I keep identifying information to a minimal. I’m like everyone else here, as far as I can tell. You never expect yourself to end up in the position of begging others for money until that time comes. And I’m sorry. I can assure you that none of us would be here if we weren’t desperate.

So, why am I here? To be truly honest with you, I feel like a fool for making a post along with all these other people with serious issues. I do not have any medical bills that need to be paid, no lawyers that I need to hire, I wouldn’t even consider my family that poor off financially. However, I am a minor. I am still in High School, and it’s reached a point where I can no longer ask my parents for help with this. They don’t think that it’s worthwhile, and I can understand why. I’ve not let on how serious my condition has become.

A few months ago this year, I tried to kill myself. Then, I met the most amazing boy I have ever seen in my life. He was perfect, and soon he was mine. However, he was also abusive. He made me feel worthless. He’d tell me one day that I was the love of his life, and the next that I should end it. He drained me of all my energy with the holy trinity of abuse I’d go through everyday and I effectively ruined my life because I stopped caring. Now, I’m trying really hard to care again. Which is why I need the money. It’s my last hope. I need it for a lot of things, so I won’t get into that, but in the end it all surmises to a form of personal therapy. Whether that be some hobby that requires funding or literal therapy, unfortunately most of the things that can bring you joy in life require the assistance of money. And I know that if I cannot find a way to fund myself for that joy that I will very soon meet my death by means of my own hands.

I wish I could offer something in return. I’d get a job if I could, but that’s a process that takes far longer than I’m able to wait. I’d write anything, but there’s not really a service out there that accepts writing in exchange for currency write off the bat. I’d do anything, but I do not have access to anything. I don’t expect anyone to give me anything, not even a dollar or two. Hell, I don’t even expect anyone to read this. But if you do, whoever you are, wherever you, whatever your own circumstances are: I hope you’re okay. I hope you’re happy. If you are, treasure that. Treasure all that you have and I know it sounds cliché, but truly be thankful for that happiness. And if you’re not happy, I’m so sorry. You’re not alone, and I know that means nothing, but do know that I understand. Maybe not the exact situation you’re in, but I understand how even waking up is a struggle when it feels like you have nothing to wake up for. I sincerely hope one day you’ll have a reason. I wouldn’t wish the torment I’m in upon anyone. I believe we’re all fundamentally good people, so do forgive yourself for any mistakes you have made. That does not mean to pretend that they never happened, but if you cannot learn to forgive then you will never be able to move on. I hope the world has and will give you all you deserve and more.

Thank you x

Lost At Sea

Hello

 My fiancé is a marine engineer who works on a ship six months at a time.  He has allowed his 7 million dollar bank account go dormant so long that it has been confiscated by the government.  In order to get it back, he needs to send $35k now.  The money was hard-earned through a lifetime of devotion to his work.  Because of security issues, and since he is at sea for years at a time, and has no real friendships on the mainland, he has not been able to do anything about this situation so he has turned to me for help.

I have managed to send $20,000 on his behalf with my own monies and the help of a friend.  This is including my 401k retirement funds and everything from my entire savings.  I even took out a loan to assist in this situation.  Since I am a laborer who makes under $11.00 an hour with take home pay of just enough to pay my rent and buy my food, and since I do not own a car nor a home, I was unable to get the loan I actually needed.

My life has been ruined over this situation.  My fiancé’s ship has docked on the shores of Spain but he cannot leave it until he has access to his funds because prior to accepting the job he has just completed, he had agreed to a contract with another company which has already paid him 1.7 million dollars.  If he leaves the ship, he will have to go directly to that company and start work for them, which is what he had planned to do before we met.  Now he just wants to return the money to them and retire so we can marry and raise his son together.  However, this cannot be accomplished until he has access to his account.  35k is more than I can handle.  It was hard enough coming up with the funds I’ve spent already.

If the funds in his account are not transferred over to him, he will have to go work for that company without pay, for as I said, he’s already been paid but if his account is not made available to him, he will be working for nothing with no money to return home to when the job is finished.

I have asked many friends for help, but outside of one, I have no others who are able to do so.  I have no other place to turn.  I know asking you is a long shot, but I have been praying, no, we have been praying over this situation for months, sending bits and pieces of the fee when I have been able to scrounge it up here and there.  This trial is agonizing and I wake up sick to my stomach every morning.  I see no end in sight and all this while my fiancé is still working on the ship, preparing it for its next expedition.

Please, if you cannot help, do you have any suggestions?  I’ve run out of ideas as well as friends and feel as though I am up against a wall.  I long for my fiance to come home . . . he longs to come home . . . the heartache this is causing us both is inexplicable.

Please help me.  I just want to live a normal life again without worrying about where 35k is going to come from and how my fiancé is going to get off the ship not to mention what this is doing to him and to his son, let alone me.  All my thoughts, every day, all day long, center around this situation and how I’m going to get out of it.  As I said, my life has been ruined.

Please help  us get that money back that my fiancé rightfully earned.  35k may mean nothing to you, but it’s so extremely out of reach to me.

Thank you for reading this.  May God bless you and your decision.  PayPal.me/QuietRider

seeking money for my future

At 21 years old I still have yet to own my own computer, of any kind. I do have access to outdated and fossilized laptops, but they are shared amongst multiple family members in a single home. So many files have been downloaded and deleted it could never be cleaned properly. I have my own smartphone, but it is as well becoming outdated and I can barely afford a replacement.

I’m looking to finally purchase and own my very own computer or laptop that can handle plenty of creative tasks from: drawing, typing, editing, coding, and music production. I really need my own device where I can keep all my brainstorms and concepts safe, close and accessible so they can be worked on at any moment. The laptop currently available to me is too old and cluttered to fit editing software, and music software on top of the plethora of idea I hope to conceive. My smartphone is much to small, and applications for video editing and music production just don’t exist on the pocket scale as far as I know.

If I can acquire these things I plan to create as much as I can and give back as much to humanity as possible. My ultimate goal is to be a content creator, and philanthropist. I know the world is hard and I want to create art to bring light and give a lot of any proceeds or profit I earn back so others can have good lives.

I know asking for money for my own purposes is selfish, especially since there’s no guarantee I’ll follow through with anything. I hope however that you’ll take that chance and trust that I will do good things when I can finally create unhindered. The goal I hope to achieve is about $3k. It’s a steep tag, but the turn around when I get the tools I years for comes in it’ll be very worth it.

Please consider tossing some spare cash my way, and thank you so much. even if you only read this.

I Never Thought Things Would Get This Out Of Hand

To whom it may concern:

My name is Stephanie and I used to be in a better place than I am now. After my mother died and my dad remarried and moved away, I had bounced from place to place until finally settling down with my boyfriend and his parents. It was great at first until we moved into an apartment with someone we thought was a close friend until he managed to swindle us out of all our money every time we got paid. We moved back in with his parents until we could get back on our feet and now they treat us like burdens even though we pay rent and pull our weight in anyway we can. I should also mention we have a baby girl on the way that we are very excited for, but it’s hard to be excited when trying to become financially stable again and nothing we do is working. As soon as we start getting close to our goals, something happens. My car breaks down, we get behind on a bill, his parents need something else from us because they don’t pay attention to where their money is going and they end up spending everything they have before paying bills, etc. I never thought it would come to making a post on a website asking strangers for money, but I’m so stressed out and I just want to be stable again. I want my boyfriend and I to be able to get our own place, provide for our little girl, and never have to struggle again. Hopefully this will be the only time I have to do this and I’m not asking for much. Every little bit helps. Thank you so much in advance for taking the time to read this and help me out.

My First Car! 🚗 ❤️

Hello my name is katelyn. I’m not one to ask for money but I guess it’s just different when it comes to your first car. Currently, I struggle with affording little things such as food and clothes because of bills. For this reason I constantly have to deal with over working myself when it comes to my education and job. I’m in need of a car as you can see in the picture I provided. I’m 18 years old and I really want to earn 22,000 by the end of the year, because that means I can finally be free to drive to college and my work without the worry of leaning into my friends or roommate for support. By donating to me it means you have a kind heart and soul, one day I hope to be successful and become someone like you. Also, I believe my choice in car isn’t too classy or expensive mainly because it’s a used car and a Honda Accord. Please, don’t donate if you feel forced or feel bad in any way. If you’re wondering where or why can’t my parents pay for it, well my parents split up and divorce can scam you of all your hard earned money. I don’t wish to beg to my siblings and friends for the fact that they feel forced or they will need to work more hours than they already do to provide for me. I have a job at Starbucks which is only $14 an hour (but they do provide benefits such as free drinks and food). I live in la, so the rent is expensive even with a roommate. To get places I have to take the bus which is a painful 2 hours to get to my work. Having a car would make my life so much easier and make me really happy! I’ve always wanted a car and to have one as my own would be the greatest wish I could ask for. Thank you for taking your time out of your day to read this, this is and will be the only thing I’ll ask for.

I want my independence back…

Screen Shot 2019-01-08 at 10.25.04 PM.png
Hello, I am thankful to have your attention. Even if you do not donate, thank you for your time. I’ll give a quick run down for those that don’t wish to read my story fully, and then tell the story in full detail.

Quick rundown: I have mental disabilities, I came from a dysfunctional family, was never taught how to be an adult, ended up homeless, started going to college and was living off my financial aid, I was then placed on academic suspension and lost my apartment despite trying to save it by working at McDonalds, needed up living with my Aunt who tormented me, I was trained to be a CNA, injured myself while working as a CNA, ended up homeless once more, I now live with my boyfriend but we’re both completely trapped in his parents home as we are very isolated and both of us are unable to drive.

Goals: I want to move IN town with my boyfriend so we can be independent, ie go shopping on our own, get a job or go back to school (maybe both), and take care of bills…

paypal.me/MissYennon

Okay. If you want to know more, I’ll better explain now.

I have mental disabilities that have made my life difficult. Growing up, my family had their own business, so I dropped out of school to dedicate myself to their business. I foolishly believed that we would always have our business and didn’t bother with an education, or even thought about the possibility of other careers. My family unfortunately became addicted to drugs, and we fell apart very fast. We lost our business, our home, all our nice things. We starved. We became homeless. When we got back on our feet, that’s when my mental issues worsened. I developed a panic disorder that was debilitating, and caused me anguish for the next three years before I finally got the help I desperately needed. I eventually found the strength to start up my education again in my late twenties. I earned my GED, went to college, and with my financial aid I got myself a little apartment. For the first time in my life I felt free and comfortable in my own skin. I even got healthier, working out and eating healthier! School was amazing, and I did pretty well at it. Until all I had left was math… at first, I was decent at it. But of course, it get harder, I just couldn’t understand it, and no matter how much I studied, I didn’t get it and ultimately failed two quarters in a row, placing me in academic suspension. Since I lived off my financial aid, I knew this was really bad. I did everything I could to keep my apartment, keep food in the fridge, and keep the lights on, but I completely failed at it. Despite trying to work at McDonalds, my anxiety got me in trouble and I wasn’t given anymore hours. I was forced to move in with my aunt, who made me hate myself even more. While living with her, I attempted to kill myself twice. I was so miserable, and I felt so unloved.

Things turned around a little when I decided to train to be a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant). At first, I did okay at it. But after three months of work, I injured myself assisting in lifting a resident. My employers and co-workers proceeded to treat me like garbage while I was on light duty, until I quit. I ended up homeless because I couldn’t stand living with my aunt anymore. Thankfully, I met the love of my life and I moved in with him and his parents almost two years ago.

As much as I love his family, I can’t stand living so isolated. I am stuck on a hill ten miles out of town, can’t go on long walks because of wild life, I don’t drive so I can’t go into town to do my own grocery shopping, and I can’t rely on his parent to drive me into town for events or work (even if I offer to pay for gas), because they complain if we want to leave. If there were a bus system, we would take it, but there isn’t (and no, there’s no Uber or Lyft service in our area).

I would very much like to have a fresh start so I can tackle my debts and student loans, and start a family with my boyfriend. If you choose to help me, I will be forever grateful, and pay it forward!

Help me be debt free

Hi there. My name is Morgan but you can call me tired because that’s what I can mostly identify with right now. I’m 25 years old, I’m full time mom and wife and part time waitress. I have two wonderful little and one amazing big kid (husband). Just like any new married couple and new parents we have made our financial mistakes. Unfortunately when your young you don’t realize you could be paying for those mistakes in years to come. On days where I want to be enjoying my family and reading my babies bed time stories and cooking hot meals for the family, I’m waitress most nights so we can afford to pay off debt. Not bills, rent, groceries, just debt. I have to sacrifice precious fleeting time with my growing babies and my husband and give it to debt. If you have debt you know it’s like a endless weight on your shoulders and you can’t ever seem to take that deep breath because it’s always there reminding you of what you can’t do because of it. It follows you around, it holds you back, it makes you live a life you might not have chosen for yourself but have to lead. My plee to whoever reads this, is help set my family free. Help me break the chains of debt and high monthly payments that could be going to a savings fund, college fun, emergency fund! I just want to be set free. Free to be with my family day and NIGHT, free to be a traditional yet uncommon family where I can be with my kids and raise them and not feel so held back by something so shackled as debt. I’m here because I’ve been doing it on my own, on our own for too long. And sometimes you just need to ask for a little help, a little forgiveness and a little faith. Help me and my family have a fresh start and take our first deep breath in the new year debt free!!

My goal is 50,000 to pay off all credit cards, debt consolidation and cars!!

I want to claim my life this year.

Hello, My name is Tim and I’m 30 years old and recently went back to school.

I don’t really know where to begin because I feel like this is a last resort that I can turn to.

I’m currently in a total of $10,000 debt due to negligence my past years. I stopped going to college for a while because my parents wanted me to pursue Nursing or something in the medical field ( I’m asian) . I didn’t want to to pursue that so for a few years I just decided to work and got stuck working at server jobs because I didn’t learn any new skills.

I want to be a photographer. A lot of my friends believe in my talents, and I recently went back to school last semester to get into event photography and also learn motion graphics. My mom wanted me to go back to school and do dental assisting but as I was signing up for classes I asked myself if I’d be happy in the long run and I know I won’t by living out my parents wishes instead of mine.

My grandfather passed away two years ago right after having a conversation with him through FaceTime, telling me that whatever I do I should do it and no matter what I should be happy for myself. A year ago, my father recently got in contact with me through facebook. I have never met my father since he left when I was born, but I learned to forgive him because we’re all human and make mistakes in our lives. But he told me to pursue my passion which is why I went back to school and study photography. My grandfathers last words telling me to live my life and my father whom I’ve never met telling me to pursue my passion is what’s driving me to get my life together. I was raised by my grandparents until I was 10 then moved to America with my mom and my step father was very abusive to me when I was younger so I don’t have a steady relationship with my family.

I have learned this past semester that I have the ability to be great in my craft and other professionals and classmates acknowledging it, but I’m still working two serving jobs back to back, living paycheck to paycheck, and feel like I would never get out of debt and pursue my dreams.

I made it my goal this year to try and get signed with an artist and use my photography to travel and hopefully visit Germany where my real father is and see him for the first time. Helping me clear my debt would give me more time to learn more skills and be a full time student to fulfill my goal sometime in the future. Part of the money would also go to helping me claim my business name so I can start doing freelance photography once im out of debt so I can earn money through photography. Any amount would be greatly appreciated.

Please and thank you and have a safe new year and I hope your goals and wishes are answered this year as well.

Empty Life

Thanks for taking the time to read this. I can’t say I’m ashamed of all I’ve gone through or what I am asking for. See, it all started in 2015 when my mom became ill. She spoiled me because I’m her youngest. I was never held responsible for bills or prepared for what was about to change my life. She instantly got sick overnight. Started repeating herself and not being as bubbly but depressed. She wasn’t even using the bathroom. Shortly after, my mom was diagnosed with 4th stage dimentia. She’ll forever be resided in memory care while that left me on the streets and hopping couch to couch. I had no support from close relatives nor friends. I never held anyone obligated over my life, but it hurts to have those you love turn their backs. That’s okay. If nothing else, my mother taught me to have strong faith. With the good will of the higher power, that neglect and isolation made me better. Unfortunately, I’m still not stable due to lack of support. I work everyday. Sometimes eat PB and J just to get by. It’s hard doing it all on your own. Not having a car never bothered me but humbled me. Now that I’ve accomplished one goal- getting my place (garage apartment), it’s time to keep going and upgrade. (Now the part where I plead and beg.)

Since I’ve been in my place, it hasn’t felt like home. Why? I have no furniture. Absolutely none! I sleep on a deflated air mattress (refuse to buy another) and my bathroom is slightly decorated, but that’s it. Nothing in my living area, no bed or TV. The carrier’s data plan is my best friend. My place is only 300 sq. ft. so I wouldn’t need much. I love my tiny peace of heaven and would love it more if I could put my own touches to it. Couch, ottoman, bed, lamp and a couple of area rugs would be a great start. Not too much to ask for, right? Hope not.

Again, thanks for your time and another thanks in advance for any donations. I’m truly grateful for your investment in me coming from so far and having very little. Have a blessed one!

Hello, I am asking for any donations to help me fund a food/clothing pantry for my community. I know firsthand how it feels not to have enough food for my family. I am almost certain someone else is going through this. I also know that most community food/clothing pantries run out of supplies or they are not doing right by their donations. It hurts my heart as a mother to think that some children are going without proper food, clothes, and shoes.  I know this is a big donation request because this is a big dream for me to do. Also, donations will be used for Christmas and another holiday help. This is a desire placed in me from God; so, I take this project with great responsibility. I will use this money to follow the necessary steps in making this happen. I just need like-minded people who believe in this as much as I do. I plan on eventually adding other things to help the youth succeed in the neighborhood. Like networking with summer job options and helping them through the application process. They may need interviewing clothes, and I want to be able to provide that for them with your help. Simple things to some people mean the world to another. For example, haircuts for boys. Those are some of the things your donations can go towards. This will start in my home and grow to a location. The question is, will you be a part of it? It is going to happen because God put this in my heart to do. Once in an actual location, more things are possible. For example, an after-school study spot on a scheduled day of the week. One day we may have a game night. Or depending on the type of building, a sleep-in; where they can watch movies eat and just be kids. Some kids live amongst stress and heaviness causing them to miss out on being a kid. Donations could help community kids see and experience things they may never experience at home. I believe in this so much, and I am willing to dedicate my energy to this. Some people are down on their luck and needs a little push. And some children are lacking proper food, clothes, and good childhood memories. The youth are our future, and if you decide to donate to something donate to the future success of the community and the children. Thank you for your time and consideration and I hope to hear from you soon.

My Ex-Wife Took Everything

When I met my wife, both she and I were divorced, and I took her and her five-month-old baby daughter into my home. We married four years later. My job (though incredibly stressful and which necessitated me commuting from North to South on a weekly basis) brought an affluent lifestyle. My wife was a housewife, her little daughter called me Dad  –  and I loved her as if she were my own.

But, eventually, my workload made me tired and withdrawn, while she enjoyed a circle of new friends and slowly built a life without me. Sometimes I felt like a stranger in my own home.

After eight years together, including four years of marriage, I decided that I could not go on travelling up and down the motorway, living out of suitcase during the week. So I asked my wife if she would consider us moving nearer to my work, thereby reducing my travelling. I felt that I needed to spend more time with her and our daughter, but she wouldn’t entertain it  –  and within weeks had engaged a very expensive solicitor (whom I was to pay for) who wrote to me (at my hotel) asking for a divorce.

When we got together, she had nothing. Her ex gave her nothing, was unemployed and gave nothing towards Child Maintenance. I helped sort out her long standing credit card debt and loans. She had always said that we didn’t need a prenuptial agreement because she had too much respect for me to consider taking me to the cleaners if we split  –  and in any case, she assured me she loved me so much that this would never happen. How stupid I was.

I ended up having to give my house (worth £270,000) to her, on the basis that her daughter was a ‘child of the family’. The other option was to pay ongoing maintenance for the next ten years as well as a substantial lump sum.

So, after only four years of marriage I ended up losing the house and all my savings by the time I’d paid off the outstanding mortgage. I also had legal costs of £14,000 to pay, and had to move into rented accommodation, while she had the four-bedroom house. To top it all I then lost my job due to my health and the stress that the whole situation had created and now find myself in more debt than my ex had when I first met her.

And just to rub salt into the wound, I’ve tried to keep in touch with the little girl I treated as my daughter but never hear back from her. She sent an email saying she never talks about me, doesn’t miss me and she doesn’t want her to have anything to do with me; she’s met a new man and tells me not to contact her or her daughter again.

It turns out that she had been having an affair with her ‘new man’ since prior to us getting married.

How, in what I believed was a civilised society, is it possible for this to happen and people behave in such uncaring and selfish ways? I’ve tried to be balanced, but it is very difficult when I’ve been financially wiped out by a greedy and callous lady. I know nothing can change my situation but somehow I find it helps to share the pain of my story.

Having gone from having everything I ever wanted to nothing in the space of 2 years, I have learnt not to trust love.

With help from my family I’m now trying really hard to turn my life around. I’ve got a new job, But now have debts of over £27,000. It’s as though I’m now working for nothing and just making minimum payments to pay off interest.

I was advised by my sister not to lose faith in people and to give this a go.

If you can, please try to help me get rid of this debt by donating anything you can afford.

Thank you for reading this.

Daily I walk around my small town with a thought bubble over my head: “Person Ruined By Divorce.” When I look at other people, I automatically form thought bubbles over their heads. “Happy Couple With Stroller.” “Innocent Teenage Boy With His Whole Life Ahead Of Him” . . . “Young Kids Kissing Publicly.” Then every so often I see one like me, one of the shambling gaunt man, looking older than he is: “Divorced Man Wondering How It Happened.”

New Perspectives

lets be honest, if i was good with money i probably wouldn’t be here. does it mean i don’t learn my lessons? no i have learned how to manage my money but the problem is i have dug myself into a 6 year hole and my ankles are broken and my pockets are hemorrhaging. its sad but its the truth.

to start from the beginning i was 21 years old and got a nice factory job. within the first 3 months of working there i received 3 pay bumps and had a vast amount of things to learn and do. life was good and i couldn’t wait to get to work and start earning that cushy pay check, all that money made life seem so easy… I’m sure you see where we are going with this.

it was simple at first trying to impress my new girlfriend with trinkets and toys big and small. since then i have seen how useless most of it was. it all was either thrown away or collects dust in my current basement, but i was making decent money and i didn’t care. I bought a decent car not knowing that a 14% APR was terrible and the place i bought it from was a scam, again i was young didn’t think anything of it. then got my self a nice apartment to have my alone space and spent my days playing video games to pass the time, being with my girlfriend and our 5 animals we have since acquired, and working.

fast forward to the beginning of 2018 i just went through my second lung collapse between now and February of 2017, i am living with my girlfriend in a bigger apartment, and  i am an angry shell of a human working the same monotonous position i have been for the past 5 years making the same pay, focusing my mind on other knowledge and a way out of this hell hole of a job and my lingering debt.  i was unofficially leading a group of people and have had close to 40 people i have trained and watch move past me or quit, through the years i would acquire more responsibility but no more pay, i had learned everything that was needed to do the job well for the company and more, but it wasn’t enough. the company was growing bigger and didn’t care about me, i was a number making numbers and they wanted more numbers.  the company had a 30% retention rate and i was working 12 hour days 6 days a week and still falling deeper into multiple holes physically, mentally and emotionally. I  just wanted something new and have developed a debt i didn’t know how to fix, somewhere in the $15,000 range trying to push my money from one bank or credit card too another realizing that it is just snowballing into something bigger and something i cannot control.

it was about the end of may. the long grueling summer hours made the world creep by slowly and any sign of an end to this hell was far from my grasp. i had been working tirelessly and found out that i finally can have a two day weekend, it was a dream come true. i came into work, just another day no knowing what was was about to happen. i was told by my boss that we were being forced to work that Saturday and like that my dreams of an extra day of relaxation was shattered. it may not seem like a lot while I’m writing this but that anger that was building in me over the years and had about enough, i snapped. long story shot i was walked out that day and never returned. (just to reassure you it wasn’t violent i just screamed a lot and scared that hell out of a couple people.) that drive home was probably the most scared/relieved i had ever felt in my entire life. the only thoughts going through my head were I’m finally done with that hell hole, how am i going to pay my bills,  and what if my lung collapses again. my girlfriend was surprisingly supportive and not upset at all.

round about the end of June we were getting kicked out of our apartment and having 5 animals gave us little room to find a good place in a timely manner but we found a small one bedroom apartment that allowed some animals (we may have stretched the truth a little to get it) and at $800/ month this was going to hurt a bit. i  was bouncing around from one job to another finding that same company BS i just dealt with and was looking for something better, something more gratifying, something worth my effort as a human.  then finally  i found it, a job that i can work hard be recognized and rewarded for it. a job that has a seemingly endless amount of knowledge to learn and good people to work with. BUT its a part time job and I’m getting payed about half of what i was at that factory, now i just need another job to go with it.

and that’s where i am writing this story from now, I’ve learned a bit through this collection of experiences. i am currently interviewing for  positions in other places ready to do nothing but work to get me out of this hole. I’m about 20k in debt, my car just was repossessed, and we cant make rent on time. so weather you decide to throw a few bucks at me because you enjoyed my little story or pass on me because of the vast amount of other people a bit more deserving of help than me, i plan on getting out of this hole with your help or not.

Help Me Reclaim A Treasured Heirloom

This plea for help is a difficult one for me to make; there are so many desperate requests here for medical relief, funeral expenses, and a myriad of other tragic, life-altering situations. It makes me feel that my own appeal is a bit silly by comparison. Nevertheless, this problem is very close to my own heart, and has haunted me for over a year. I don’t know where else to turn, and the kindness of strangers has proven to be my last refuge. Hopefully somebody here will read this and take pity upon me.

My favorite book in the world is Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. For various reasons, it has had a profound and lasting effect on my life from the time I was a small child. For years–most my life, in fact–my dream was to own a true first edition copy of it. A few years ago that wish was granted, at the expense of something even more dear to me: the life of my grandmother. She died of pancreatic cancer in the summer of 2015, a single illness among many which finally carried her off to her eternal rest after a period of long suffering. Suffice it to say, she knew her time was coming before it did.

Christmas was always my grandmother’s favorite time of year, and she was a generous gift-giver; i’d be hard pressed to think of something that made her happier. In the final year of her life, she became pretty certain that she would not make it to the next Christmas, and wanted to do something very special for her grandchildren. She and my grandfather (he had passed a few year prior) had amassed a fairly respectable amount of money over the course of their lives, and rather than leave a sum of cash to her grandchildren, or leave it to her children to decide what the successive generation would receive when she was gone, she endeavored to get us each the one gift which we had always desired, but was too extravagant to hope for. She wanted us to have these gifts and see our happiness in receiving them before she died. In my case, it was a beautiful first edition copy of A Christmas Carol. I don’t know how much, specifically, it cost, but most comparable copies go for between $10,000 and $15,000. I know this without doubt, because last year I made the most regrettable decision of my entire life.

By autumn of last year, I found myself without a running car, stuck in a cramped one bedroom apartment, and with a baby on the way. My spouse and I both have massive student loan debt and poor credit (a story which is sadly familiar to many, I know), and rather than take on more debts or run up credit cards and the like, we turned to selling off some of our more valuable possessions. I am not a materialistic person by nature, and parted with many items which were dear to me and have never looked back or questioned the decision. But in a bid for quick cash, I sold the gift my grandmother had so generously given to me.

And now it haunts me. I have lost sleep over it, I have had periods when I have become physically ill at the thought of what I’ve done. This book was more than a thing, and I didn’t realize that fact to its truest extent until it was already out of my hands. At the time, I was in a bad way and thought that what my grandma would have wanted more than anything else is for my family and me to be financially secure while starting a family. And I might have been correct in that assumption, but it certainly doesn’t feel like I did the right thing. It eats away at me, it pervades my every moment, and it nags at the back of my mind even during moments of joy with my dearly loved spouse and precious new daughter.

My hope is to track down the book and try to buy it back or, failing that, to replace it with a copy of comparable quality. My grandmother wanted me to have that book, and I’m determined to reclaim her final gift to me. The problem is, though we are in slightly improved financial straits, we certainly don’t have the funds to make such a grand purchase.

I made a horrible mistake. My mental and emotional state suffer as a result. If anyone out there has the power to do so, please donate to my cause and help me with this. I know that my plight pales in comparison to those of others seeking help for far more pressing dilemmas; but know that for me, this is imperative, I need this; I can’t move on from it, and I fear that this regret will consume me.

Please–help me raise the money to re-purchase A Christmas Carol and set my weary mind at ease. Thank you and best wishes!

I broke my back in 2015 and had to give up my profession as a builder and move on to welfare witch was hard anuff but it was also the year my first daughter was born so money became tight and the bills started racking up. We struggled but always managed to survive but as the years have gone on we’ve managed to keep on top of the bills ect, but since breaking my back me and my partner have never  been out together as a couple without the children we love them with all our hearts but sometimes we could do with a couple of hours to remember that me and my partner love each other and not just robots stuck in the never ending routine we would ask family members babysit but we no longer speak due to domestic problems.

Also I would like to make some amazing memories with my children that thay could remember for life but with my situation at the moment I financially can’t afford it witch breaks my heart as we’ve never been able to do anything with them.

So most days there stuck in the house board witch is awful for a child and makes me feel totally useless as a father.

Iv always been a proud man and never asked for help but things are starting to spiral and really could do with some kind hearted help as iv tryed every option available to help my family to a better life.

So if you can help thank you from the bottom of my heart from me and my family…..thank you <3

Clear Credit Card Debt

   Hi! I am Brandon Lau, a Chinese Malaysian, staying in Sepang district, Selangor, Malaysia. I wish and hope I could clear my credit card debt as earlier as possible for me to start a new life.

   In August year 2015, I started to have difficulty to pay minimum payable amount of my credit cards from 5 banks. This is because my investment in banknote operated massage chairs, that was started in the end of year 2013, has failed.

   I have invested MYR90,000 for 6 massage chairs in year 2013. I did not have enough capital for the investment, so I signed up for few packages to withdraw tens of thousands of Ringgit Malaysia in cash from my credit card accounts from multiple banks. Before the investment, the massage chair supplier gave me some “misleading” statistics by saying that his other investors earned minimum MYR1000 monthly for each massage chair invested by allocating those massage chairs in selected hotels. At that time, the investment sounded good and profitable for me. At that time, I was thinking to have a good and secure passive income first before I could plan to try other profession for living.

   However, the reality was that supplier has failed to find suitable hotel to allocate my invested massage chairs for first few months. Few months later, the supplier only managed to have two hotels to allocate my four massage chairs; the other two massage chairs were left in supplier warehouse. For the four massage chairs in operation, two massage chairs have moderate income, average about MYR600 monthly per chair; another two massage chairs have poorer income, average about MYR350 monthly per chair. These were gross income before paying monthly space rental to hotel.

  In year 2015, my two massage chairs with moderate income started to have problems. So, I requested support technician to repair. Initially, the repair work was done at allocated hotel. Later days, when new problem occurred, technician told me need to send my two massage chairs back to workshop for checking and replacing some spare parts. I requested them to take my two massage chairs in their warehouse to replace my two massage chairs that have been malfunction. However, my request was not fulfilled. The technician has replaced my two malfunctioning massage chairs with massage chairs from another investor. This caused me to have no enough cash to repay minimum payable amount for credit card accounts. Eventually, I sold my remaining two massage chairs to an investor for about MYR2000 to MYR3000. In addition, referring Hotel CCTV recording, the technician has misconduct to stole banknotes from my massage chairs in few months time before I sold my massage chairs. I have terminated my massage chairs contract and stopped paying space rental to hotel. Some more story to tell but in short, I don’t want to bother these massage chairs anymore.

CIMB_CC_201810a.jpg

 

   Now, I have learned from the failure, but I have had to pay a high “learning cost”. I have surrendered all my credit cards in years 2015 and repay credit card debt by monthly installment. In order to cut down monthly expenses and commitment, I have also surrendered all my life insurances and medical cards. In May year 2016, the factory (in Banting, Selangor, Malaysia), where I worked at that time, has been closed down, I have to travel extra 25km to new working place in Klang Valley area. Extra cost has been added to my monthly expenses because I have to pay additional highway toll charges, additional parking fee, more expensive meal, etc. I am in tight budget every month since May year 2016; it is difficult and tough for me to have savings. I have to surrender all my insurance and medical cards in December 2016 to further reduce my monthly and yearly commitment. My current major commitment is my housing loan, car loan and credit card debt installment. After paying three major monthly commitments, the balance of my monthly salary may just be enough for food, transportation (petrol, toll charge, public transport fare, parking fee, etc), phone bill, etc. I am eating less nowadays, this help me to reduce meal cost and keep fit. I use public transport (train and LRT) to work to reduce cost. However, I hardly to have savings (even drain out my savings) and I do not have emergency fund. In fact, I am struggling for survival.

   I am over 44 years old now (in year 2018), I try to control my diet and pray for having healthy body because I do not have insurance and medical card to cover medical or hospitalization bills. In addition, I am still single and never married. I am looking forward to falling in love, but my financial situation and constraint makes me afraid to look forward to it. I have paid more than MYR56,800 to reduce my credit card debt since year 2015. Maybe I could settle my credit card debt in another six or seven years. After clearing my credit card debt, I may try to find a relationship for marriage. However, six or seven years later, I will be over 50 years old. My parents are now 80 and 76 years old respectively. Maybe I have “some buffer time” to wait for few more years to have my own family, but I am not sure if my parents could make it to wait for me to get married and have their grandchildren.

 

 

RHB_CC_2018s.jpg

   The attached images are sample of my credit card statements from three banks (out of total five banks). I wish and hope that I could settle my credit card debt as earlier as possible. The following is my paypal link if you are so kind to donate:

   May you and family be well and happy always.

   Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

New year a new life free of debt and drama!

Hey!

I just wanted to say thank you for reading this and I am not one to ask for money I was raised to do everything on my own. I’m stuck and honestly a bit freaked out. I am trying but it isn’t working. If you can just drop a good wish or a pray my way would be excellent, as I don’t really don’t why I am doing this, and don’t think I am really legitimate to ask for help to people I don’t even know. I just feel I should give it a try.

Any donation amount would be extremely appreciated in helping me get back on my feet.

About Me:

My name is Sean. I am a college student and a single father. I found out I had a son when he was 5 months old, he’s now 9 months old (the mom and I are friends, she’s pregnant with another guys kid). I do have a job that pays me around $50(average) every two weeks. I am in school and trying to better myself for my son’s future. I have Asperger(A developmental disorder characterized by significant difficulties in social interaction and nonverbal communication, along with restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior and interests,) it interferes with my daily life, however I am still working to be something my son can look up too.

Owed:

I just recently had my debit card stolen which has made my life a bit more hectic.

I am asking for $5,000 but $2,000 will put a good dent in my debt and give me a bit of breathing room.

Any donation amount would be extremely appreciated in helping me get back on my feet.

I did pay of around $1,000 a few months back. Pretty proud of myself there.

 

Again, thank you so much for reading this. Anything you do or say helps.

Need to get out of this rut

I’m a young 22 year old male in dire need of financial help. I have spent most of my life worrying too much about what other people think. Social anxiety has been my closest enemy for as long as I can remember. I always find myself struggling in social situations to this day. For instance, something as simple as meeting people and saying hello to them is like surviving an attack by a wild animal. It’s a situational thing though, as I don’t feel much anxiety when I’m accompanied by my brother and a few close friends of mine, which is really not a good thing. It’s a different story when I’m out by myself, that’s when s**t hits the fan. I don’t even get out of the house that often, let alone go to work. That’s how bad it is for me. As a matter of fact, I’m always dependant on someone or something. If I were to go to work, I wouldn’t last longer than a week without feeling overwhelmed to the point I can’t even function, which results to panic attacks. My big struggle is to carry on spending time with the same people for a longer period of time. For example, going to University, communicating and connecting with my classmates is nearly impossible. The more days go by, the harder it is for me to continue, which is why I had to drop out and as a result, I missed out on two years of studies. Under those circumstances, I tend to isolate myself quite often, which leads to constant negative self talk. I’ve tried different approaches to work on dissolving my social anxiety by going out and trying various exercises. It would seem as if there were minor successes, but if something didn’t go as planned in my head, I would beat myself up all the way back to ground zero and starting all over with the harsh self talk. All this became a never-ending cycle and caused me a lot of depression, almost to the point where I wanted to end my life. And this has been going for years now, and it seems impossible to get out of. I’ve done a lot of research on how I can beat this, and after a lot of trial and error, I came across a few services, in the form of coaching, in order to help with my anxiety, and just my social life in general. But they seem to be a lot more than what I can afford. One of them reaches up to £2000, which covers how to deal with social anxiety itself on a practical level, containing multiple packages, and it is in London, closer to where I live. And another one is about the same price, which also covers about the same, but it is more immersive than the other, and more personal, but outside of London. I don’t have anyone I know that I can ask the finances from. This is the only way I could reach out for donations.

I’m asking for a donation of £4000. Some of them which cover my travel expenses.

To sum it all up, I just wanna be free of all anxiety and I want to live life on my own terms. I want to meet people, make deep connections, build successful businesses and so much more. Enough of the negative self talk, enough not being able to do things I want because of what other people think. Enough surviving, but just living.

I can’t emphasize enough how much I need this.

Thanks for your time! :)

Never had a chance to get a student job

Hello,

my name is Glenn, I’m a 20-year-old student from Belgium.

throughout my entire life, the most money I ever had was around 800 euros, only a few months later it was already down to 300 because I wanted a decent phone that would still work five years later.. this was when I was around 15-16 years old.

The reason I never had a chance to get a student job or do any jobs to earn money from, starts with the age my country allows me to work, which is 16.

My home situation was very tough and only got better two years ago. Basically, my dad abused alcoholics and this made him be aggressive, ruin my parent’s bank account and he would end up having verbal fights with my mother. It’s been like this for as far as I can remember, literally. Which means about my entire life.

He used to threaten with killing himself, telling his suicide plans to me and my sister (we were only 10 and 13 by that time, me being the youngest). he told us a lot how much he wished we would fall dead before his eyes. he made my mother cry every day and traumatize me and my sister by shouting so loud at my mom and hearing her be furious.

It would terrify my sister and me and we both handled that in a different way, my sister cried and cried. I would try to ”get used to it” and have all the negative energy sucked into me.

My dad went from martini and whiskey to wine when I was around 5 (at least that’s what my mother told me one day.. well the fact he used to abuse whiskey and such). So he went to wine, didn’t matter which kind, he always bought these 5 to 10-litre containers usually sold in a cardboard box with a tap on it.

People would think “well he went from whiskey to wine, isn’t that an improvement?”. The simple answer is no, it doesn’t matter whether you drink a bottle of liquor or ten bottles of beer, it would give the same amount of alcohol in your blood.

He consumed those 5-litre boxes in two days, the 10-litre ones took three to four days. He had this tiny glass he could just fill and down it all at once.. This went on for a long time.

Later my life we got him to stop abusing wine but eventually he went to beer, of course, beer and later porto, he used to consume a six pack a day of beer and when he drunk Porto instead it was a half to an entire litre a day of Porto with 17% alcohol..beers were usually between 8% and 12%

when I was around 13 I started to question my sexuality.. my dad always told me gay people were gross and disgusting, so I was afraid to be one myself. a year later I came out for being homosexual… to myself.. I told nobody. Basically, with that I mean I tried to accept myself being gay. I cried for 2 days and felt horrible for several weeks until I decided to just quit feeling bad and just accept the fact and try to make the best out of it, which turned out to be a more colourful and joyful time in my  life, I tried to subtly express myself more and more (I was so scared to be gay I actually tried to act as straight and as manly as I could once I realised classmates made fun of gay people when I was 9, I was afraid to be left out and bullied). So yea I wrote with a pink ballpen with the excuse that all my other pens were empty and I just didn’t care.

Since that time I have always been like that, not caring about what others think, I just did what I liked, defended myself the best I could.. which went entirely wrong.. I have social difficulties concerning dealing with and understanding sarcasm, and difficulties on how to react to annoying people. That second one simply because I was used to way worse from my dad.

They started making fun of me being gay and I tried my best to understand why they see fun in it, i also tried my best understanding the difference between sarcasm and seriousness as the amount of friends i had went down, and the friends i still had, i just called them friends to have friends. By that time i was diagnosed with ADHD.. but it didnt feel to me like any relief to know that.. in fact, i felt like it wasnt only ADHD that was wrong with me..

when i was 15 i met this boy online who claimed to a year older than me.. but in short, just to not make this letter insanely long.. He ended up being two and a half years younger than me, which meant by the time i would be 18, i could be sued by his parents as pedophile since he would only be 15 a half..

He ended up abusing my feeling for him, cheating on my several times, once asking me if he could go have sex with someone else he had feelings for aswell but not the same way as he did for me.. about 4 months after that i met this other person who seemed to be nice and he became a good online friend of me so i introduced him to my ‘boyfriend’ and after a week or so he started to text me less and less and my boyfriend wouldn’t send anything love related to me anymore and would be short towards me… I speculated that he got in love with my friend and eventually got to fire out he was with my friend and that friend sent screenshots of their conversations as proof..

Eventhough my bf would still lie and say there was no one else.. so i sent that to him.. and well things went downhill, i spent a total of 3 years and a half being drained by him yet in love aswell (this kind of relationship where someone makes you feel  horrible but does just enough to not lose you) we broke up around 4 times before it was officially done, he had self esteem issues escalating to self harm and suicidal, he even showed my his blood dripping down his chair and sent pictures of his scars.. as terrified as I was i tried to make him clean it up and put a bandade on it… then one day he had a mental breakdown and only a week after he was silent.. after many doubt and me not trusting him at all he ended up having all his devices confiscated by his parents so he couldnt go online anymore because his parents thought i was the reason he harmed himself.. he disappeared just like that right before my winter exams.. i literally thought he killed himself and i had to study my exams and had the worst holidays ever.. especially because a lot of Christmas movies go about love and i used to enjoy watching movies together with my family as far as it was possible.

Once i came out to my dad for being gay he would swear at me for being gay and tell me to become some sort of sex slave and get money from it maybe (of course he only said that when he was drunk).

The same year i broke up with my so called boyfriend my mother had a bowel perforation due to never ending stress and if she got in surgery only an hour later she would have died, i was sick at that time and was home, i saw everything happen from her screaming of intense pain to her being hospitalized and watching the ambulance drive away with her.. if she would have died i would have probably left home and lived on the streets..

the fact she had this incident broke my dad and he got into depression which as long as he was still abusing alcohol became the worst year of his addiction but luckily also the last year. I remember me pushing him away from me and as drunk as he was he would fall and play dead to annoy me.. i saw him crawling over the floor not being able to get any word out of his mouth, i remember him damaging the freezer badly from falling into it and him having a bruise of 15cm across which the doctor said needed urgent medical attention and maybe hospital.

 

only three months after my mother had recovered i broke up with my boyfriend which broke me since he then accused me of a lot and ruined the bonds i had with my best friend online and i ended up getting a depression aswell.. he made me fail two years in high school, one because i spent too much time trying to fix him, the other year because he was the main cause that triggered my depression and made me quit school during easter break.

In the five months i was home my dad started to stop abusing alcoholics with ups and downs and i started to know myself better again.. i ended up reconsidering school and changed to another school to finish my high school studies and be allowed to go to college.

My mother didnt get to work during her recuperation and once she could her job was moved to India and she got fired. Due to my dad being depressed he wasn’t allowed to ever work again and since hes 59 years old getting a new job is like trying to swim from Belgium to England while you know you cant even swim 500 meters..

Because of the horrible situations at home, i never got a chance to feel rested enough to go work in the holidays as i needed them very badly to recuperate from school and my dad driving so bad we once nearly had a head on collision with a house. I tried to do my best these last two years in highschool and also tried to fix my depression by being optimistic, i considered going to a new school as a new chance to make friends and it didnt really work to make friends.

Luckily I was never bullied again and all my classmates liked me, but i just couldn’t get along that well, i was openly gay and its what they supported me with, my teachers there were very supportive for me to help me feel more at easy and to get the best school result from me given my situation which at that time was parents who would never get along anymore but forced to live together because we were running low on money and if either my mom or dad would have left if would mean on of them would end up on the streets with nothing) and me being depressed.

For these two years, i was required to have a laptop to run adobe, so i got me one and could only pay 500 euros of it, my parents paying the rest..

I also started to take driving lessons by the time i was 19, so i could some day drive to friends i met or just be away from home for a little.. but never had time to have a student jobs or holiday work. You would think why not go work in summer? I couldn’t. When i was 17 i got diagnosed with a light form of autism clarifying why i had social difficulties and tons of anxiety.

(My anxiety went so far i would have stress if my mom reminded my to prepare my sandwiches for school lunch for the next day.. i also had a lot of annoying phobias and fear of death, bad spirits, demons graves, coffins and so forth.)

So i needed summer to work on myself and get less stressed again..

When i finally made it and graduated from highschool i decided to go study game graphics production in college. This would mean i would have no time at all, at most one free day a week to see friends or play some video games. Because i have had a lot of hardware issues with my own laptop my parents ended up buying me a school laptop which would be instantly replaced if there appear any malfunctions.

i have now been in college since September 2018 and so far i love what i do. I’m in an international school where everyone is as open minded as can be allowing me to finally explore myself and try out new things, new dressing styles and so on.

Thanks to this i learned more about myself including that im agender which means i dont see myself as either male or female but i do prefer more feminine clothes, which means i have to pretty much buy an entire new full closet to feel comfortable and to express who i am and not appear like someone im not.

I have tried many ways to make some passive money so i wouldn’t end up without, but never got lucky with that. till this day i still use the same phone which im glad i spent extra money on, i did have to repair it entirely one day (i did it myself since it would save 100 euros). But recently my phone started doing really weird things that suggest a broken internal memory meaning the end of this phone’s days are near and i currently dont even have 20 euros on my bank account.

Beside that, there are many things i had that broke down and i never got to replace, i currently have a boyfriend who i can see irl but it have to take the train to see him and often spent all of my money on seeing him. So for the moment, i have to choose to see him or buy something small for myself or save up so i can afford to buy new headphones and stuff like that.

That’s pretty much my story in short. I hope to soon become character designer and succeed all my courses as they aren pretty expensive and i cant wait to finally have money from a decent job, even though 80% og my job opportunities will be abroad and i obviously have no money to even get there let away rent a small apartment abroad. And as my parents bank account is getting low even they wont be able to afford buying my an apartment without risking their own financial position to go to officially broke.

 

I value every amount of help a lot and want to thank everyone who helps me out financially.

Just my story

Hi, my name is Nadia.

I don’t really don’t why I am doing this, and don’t think I am really legitimate to ask for help to people I don’t even know.

I am probably doing this because I feel I need to share my story. I don’t have any charity goa, and I don’t have any illness either. Apart from depression who is just a “good” friend of mine who comes to visit me every now and then, uninvited and unexpected. And although we are “good” friends it is like we have never met before, all the time.

My story is different. And I really don’t want to ask for money unless you are such rich people you really have money to give away. I have read a few stories here and mine is nothing compared to those.

I have a different story about myself meeting a guy something more than one year ago, and having my sanity completely destroyed, and all my savings gone.

I have always been extremely responsible with saving money in my all life, and had worked four years to save all that money and in less than a year I had given all my savings to a guy I was trying hard to help. He is a gambler and I was aware of that. I put all my efforts trying to help him, trying to get him seek for professional support. I took care of him for a year not only as a boyfriend but as a brother or a son, too. I helped him get out of the bed on his dark days because I know what it does feel like, I gave to him all the love and cares he needed.

He has two kids he has to financially support. When he would gamble he would not even have the money to send to his kids, but I really wanted to help him get out of his addiction and feel he was a good dad. So I would give money to him all the time.

He was just a manipulator. I helped him get out of the bed and I was not able to see that I was the one who was then getting depressed and pushed down by all his issues and his making me feel I was just a poor insicure woman.

He was the perfect manipulator. He used me to get all the money he needed for his own needs. Every time he would promise he would give me all back. Next month, he said all the times. I was losing all my savings because I was trusting him. I was trusting his “last time help request”, his “I start doing counselling, I promise”. I start going to a counsellor helping gamblers, hopong I could bring him one day. He has never come. And thanks God I kept having counselling. He was using me and pishing me down so badly I was close to never get out of that tunnel. My counsellor says I have been like the girl on the train, if you have seen the movie.

I lost for him more than 15,000 pounds. I helped him with his debts with his kids, with the rent and everything he needed. He was just using me and manipulating me to the point I was completely drained. And now that he is out of my life and I beg him my money back as he always promised he even laughs at me, saying the money I gave him was just small change. I don’t want to blame myself for taking care of a person the way I did. But sometimes I just get caught in panic when I realize he will most probably never give all my money back. I had worked for that, and I have never wasted my money, never. My family doesn’t know anything about that and of they ever found out what happend to my savings..well I think I could stand that.

If you know of someone who is living in a situation like the one I have lived.. Please help that person get out of that thriller movie. People like the guy I have met can really bring you to a point of non return where you start thinking you cannot cope with your life anymore. You will find yourself hurt, without any strenght. And without all what you had worked hard for years.

I would love to write a book one day about my story.

I hope my story will help someone.

Drowning in debt please help

Hello, my name is Mario.

I am asking for some type of help for I am drowning in debt. I am doing everything I can to get out of it. I have 4 kids who are not with me at the moment. They are across seas in Japan living with their mother. I don’t have nor can I start a savings funds for my kids because it seems like every time I try to get ahead another bump comes out of nowhere stopping me in my path. Their mother does not work so I continue to send money across every month. I have about $25,000 in debt that I seriously need to get rid of so I can have a peace of mind and I can start saving for my kid’s future. I feel ashamed asking for help but I am at my last option. I understand I am in the military but its not cutting it for me. I love my kids with all my heart but if I can’t have the financial stability to support them then I will have failed as a father and I don’t want that to ever happen. Every day I wake up and I don’t see them is like having a nightmare with no one to comfort me. I am getting really tired of trying to consolidate everything when that’s just another bill added to my stress about saving money. I just want everything to go away all at once and not have to worry about living pay check to pay check like I am doing now. It hurts already when I cant see my kids how I want to see them and it also hurts to them “no kids daddy doesn’t have the money for it right now”. Growing up my father and mother didn’t have much but they did what they could to keep a roof over our head, clothes on our back, and food in our stomachs. I know that was hard on them, I saw it in their eyes everyday not knowing if they could continue to provide for us. I don’t want that same feeling for my kids. I just want to be debt free and start a new financial life but on a clean sheet. I know I am asking for much anything can help even if it’s a little. I really there is someone out there who can help me get out of this endeavor and help regain my sense of stability. Please help and God Bless you.

Need Help Getting Back On My Feet

Hey everyone, I gotta start by saying you’ve gotta be one kind person to even be reading this lol. Anyway, I’m going to be as honest as I possibly can. I feel bad even posting this, but I guess it can’t hurt to ask. I messed up pretty bad. I dropped out of school to go be with the “love of my life” (what a fucking joke) and when he rejected me, I fell into the wrong crowd and started using prescription drugs. It wasn’t very long before I found myself using harder drugs and trying to find more elusive ways to avoid working. I met a guy, pretty awesome, if I do say so myself, and he convinced me to get help. I spent three months in rehab and three more months in a sober living facility and proud to say I’m coming up on nonentity months clean. However, in all that mess, I ruined my credit, a few of my teeth are fucked up and it really messes with my confidence. I used to have such a pretty smile and now I’m scared to laugh out loud. I totaled a car, and pawned anything of value. I’m not really sure what I’m even asking for to be completely honest, but I just need a little help getting back to normal. I just took a job with a big car manufacturing company. I’ve never worked in a plant before. It’s always been restaurants for me. I’m a bit nervous to even start, but I know normal people get paychecks and balance their money and save and set goals and achieve those goals. So, I’m starting to do that myself. It’s only $12/hr, but it’s a decent start I think.

Here are the goals I’ve set so far:

  • Acquire Dental Insurance and fix the teeth that bother me the most
  • Pay off at least three of the loans I’ve taken out.
  • Buy a decent camera and microphone (I’ve always wanted to start a YouTube channel just as a hobby and anything that keeps me busy is a good thing at this point lol)
  • Save $900 and my parents will help me buy a car to get back and forth to work with.
  • Put back at least $200 every month until it’s $5,000 (emergency funds)
  • Pay back the three medical bills I owe from when I didn’t have insurance and start to rebuild my credit.

There are of course other things I want, I’d like to get my PlayStation back and pay back a few friends that were kind enough to loan me money that I wasted on drugs, but I would like to achieve the bulleted goals first. I know it can all be done and I should just be patient, but any help would be so greatly appreciated and one day I want to pay it forward if I get any help. I mean truly embarrassed to even post this and must have deleted it at least four times, but idk. Maybe there’s someone out there who can help or relates to the struggle. Hell, I’d even be happy with a nice job offer. If you read this far, I just want to thank you so much for even taking out the time. I really and truly appreciate it. Thanks again. Love and blue skies 😘

Peace for Christmas

Hello! First of all I’d like to thank You for opening my letter. My request probably isn’t as important than many others in this website but it is important for my peace of mind.

Let’s go back to the beginning of 2017. My first relationship that lasted for 4 years, ended. I didn’t have normal place to sleep. I had to sleep on the floor of my mother’s kitchen or share a room with my aunt and grandma, who has parkinson’s disease. All the stress from the break-up and seeing close my grannys troubles and me having no place to be by myself (I have always been introvert) drived me insane, I once even thought of a suicide but decided that everything can only get better. But meanwhile I didn’t have job and took loans. Later took loans to pay previous loans and so on. Summer of 2018, although I was still broken inside and not looking for anyone, my now boyfriend, knew from the first time he saw me, that I am the one for him (and he was single for 10 years after a rough break-up). I really got an ideal man. But my loans grew even though I got a job. Problem is that when I need help, I try to get by myself, I don’t ask for help (but now I don’t know what else to do) and so I get my problems even bigger. For now, my loans have grown to about 10 000€. My boyfriend wants a family with me, he has two dreams, to build a house and have a baby. Because of my loans we can’t get a loan from the bank to build our house and so we pay for rent of our apartment (bank loan would be same amount every month). My bank account has to be clear from debts for 6 months before they give us money for our house. Giving that I just lost my job in November (clothes shop closed its doors) and my previous salary 700€ (from where I pay 200€ my part of the rent and 350€ for my loans) I have no hope for paying those loans fully over 5 years. But I want my boyfriend who is 35 ( I get 25 in the end of December) to get his dream house before he gets 40. We also have tried for a baby over a year now and we have no success. Doctors said that all tests are okey. So I am pretty sure that the stress because of the money problems is preventing me to get pregnant. And now is Christmas time and although it is snowing and we have Christmas tree, there is no peave in my heart because I have to worry where I get the money to pay everything next month and give presents this Christmas, because my family is worth it. So please, if you have the opportunity then every donation you gives me a bit more peace. You have no idea what that would mean to me to start my year 25 with slightly less worry… Thank you and Merry Christmas!
