First Car Troubles

Hello,

As a little introduction, my name is Kayla. I am a good student and I get straight A’s. I am 18 years old and set to graduate in May. It has been my dream to be independent and figure things out on my own. However, being 18 and not graduated doesn’t get me a good job and I don’t know any other way to make enough money at this age. I want to buy my first car and I’ve found the perfect one. The only problem is the bank won’t loan enough money and I have nowhere near enough. The car is used and a year older than I am but I think it’s absolutely perfect. It is a little more on the expensive side, almost $9,000, but it should last me a long while until I can get a good job. I came to this website to ask for help. Just a little help would be deeply appreciated. My family doesn’t have funds like that. I live with just my 70-year-old grandpa so we live off of his social security and my $11 an hour job, which isn’t much. Being able to get this car would make me overjoyed and very appreciative. It would help me get to school and work faster. I am a very selfless person and I don’t like asking for help, but at this point, I really need it. When I grow up and become successful, I really want to be able to help people and treat them with kindness. I know what it’s like to not have much and I hate thinking that other people have to endure that too. Once I graduate I will be able to find a better/full-time job that will bring in more money, but as of right now, I can’t do that. I am taking nine classes to be able to have enough credits to graduate. My goal is to work full-time for a year and then go to college. I don’t know what I want to do, but I want to go into something that makes good money so I can help others. The car is just a way to get there a little quicker. There are some good jobs around a 20-minute drive away from where I live and having a car would enable me to have more hours which means more money. I hope you read all of this and if you’re willing to help, thank you. It would mean a lot to me if someone out there read my situation and possibly gave me a chance.

Begin New Chapter

I recently went through a divorce after 20-year marriage in which we had a thriving business. In which my ex managed to put it in the negative, quickly reliving his youth. I am now in debt from relocating and moving expenses attempting to recreate my life. Unexpected costs for buying property and using a mobile home for a feeling of stability and safety. The costs of home delivery, utility charges, set up, taxes, deposits and expenses I have now overdrawn in my bank account. In this period, blood pressure went up, and congestive heart failure unexpectedly hit me. Overdrawn bank accounts caused health insurance to cancel and a mandatory medical procedure to figure out a solution to high blood pressure has added more debt.  I then broke my ankle, which furthered debt in recovery. Financial help would greatly help me figure out the next chapter of my life and my purpose.Thank you for your time and help.

Help me fix my home

Greetings and salutations to you all. I ask most people to adress me as Drew. My family and I, being my wife and our five children as well as my elderly mother, currently live in an older mobile home. I’m a disabled American veteran with an overseas tour of duty in Iraq for fifteen months. I suffer from multiple symptoms of combat related PTSD and I have degenerative disc disease throughout my entire spine. I have not been able to work since 2020. Our home is a manufactured house that was first set on foundation in 2000, my wife and I lease it through an escrow company and have been paying towards owning it since June of 2018. We love this place and do not want to move, but it is too small and falling apart around us. We have three bedrooms for a household of eight people. My mother has her own room, my wife and I have the master bedroom, and there is one other bedroom that is very small and used for keeping the kids’ belongings in. The five children, our three daughters and two sons sleep in the living room on camping cots. We burn up in the late spring through early fall and freeze over winter because our exterior wall panels are weather-beaten and the insulation is decrepit. All of our windows are single pane and non-weatherized, they are drafty, and so are both the front and back door. The house needs to have an entire roof replacement along with new insulation, an electrical panel upgrade and all home wiring replaced, all plumbing completely replaced and a whole home water filtration system installed because we have minimally treated water that contains a lot of sedimentary elements and minerals, the furnace needs updated because it does not work. The hot water heater needs replaced, all ventilation ducts need replaced – an air conditioning system upgrade from broken swamp cooler to refrigerated air, home air filtration system because all of us suffer from seasonal allergies and hay fever, all floors need to be updated because there are several soft spots in the wood throughout the house which cause fall-through hazards since the house is set on cinder-blocks about eighteen inches above the foundation and the floors are hollow, the property fencing has never been finished, and finally we would like to make some extensions. To the kitchen, dining room, current family room, and the three bedrooms we currently have. As well as adding an additional three bedrooms to our floor plan. These are some time consuming and very costly repairs and updates. One would think it simpler to buy a new home but it is not, as both of our credit histories have been ruined recently since I medically retired four years ago and have suffered great financial hardships, setbacks, and losses. I am unable to work at all and my wife is a stay-at-home mother and homemaker. We survive month to month on my disability compensation pay from the department of veterans affairs and food assistance from our state. However we are not able to save up anything as my monthly amount of disability pay is barely enough to cover only essential bills. Unfortunately the V.A. will not help repair my home and I do not qualify for a loan amount large enough to cover the cost of a home that is legally acceptably spacious enough for us all. I am needing and asking for $65,000.00 in total to help me provide a better home for my family and get everything that is in disarray properly repaired.

Reliable vehicle needed /to see n spend time with kids

Greatfull Dad, I’ve gone through struggles an very difficult times in my life. Painfully regret choices I made! Those choices took everything away from me for a long time. I’d lost faith in myself. Yet somehow never completely lost hope. The most painful regret was the loss of time with my children 2 beautiful girls. Now 11 an 17yrs old. That little hope I held was I would have them back they would have a dad in there life, that loves them let’s them know who I am with honesty. And today I’m there dad again. It’s just so hard they still can’t have the dad they desurve n I’d like to be. An because of my loses n bridges I’ve burned. I don’t have much. Because I don’t have a vehicle I can’t see them when ever I want,or they want. I can’t take them places n do things with them we’d all like. I’ve missed dance recitals,haven’t watched there dance classes just going to pick them up to get ice cream I can’t.or just going to them to say hi. be present!! I don’t want to miss graduations! I can’t describe how it feels to be available to be the dad they need! This is out of all I’ve endored one of the hardest things to swallow my pride an ask people especially people who don’t know me for help!! But I want to be the father the desire so desperately…I made the choice to humble myself an ask for help..the smallest gesture of help. I’d be so grateful an if u can’t help God bless an thank u for taking the time to of read this.. to help send via..(cashapp) to “$stepenkohanski” thank you.

Lost Job of 30+ years, Please Help to Start New Business and Motivate Others in Need

I lost my job after 33 years of service, this happened after the family owned business was sold to a large corporation. I worked at this company for most of my life, and the previous owners had a great deal of respect for me, I have always worked hard and cared about helping others in the company. The business was sold to a large corporation about 2 years ago. They were already an established corporation. The new company did work to try to establish me, however they already had departments with established employees, so after 2 years they decided my services was no longer required and laid me off last March 2024. The last 2 years has been very stressful. I just turned 64, so my options are really limited as to starting a new career. I always planned on retiring from the job I worked so hard for. I felt that my best option at this point is to utilize what I have done over all those years is to start my own online business. I want to take my experience and heart for helping others by doing Motivational videos and publications online, my ultimate goal is to take that to the next level to do missionary type work to help others less fortunate and to motivate and encourage them in life. But my issue right now is funds to help me get that going. This is my first time asking for money or support, I have always done things on my own. It is not easy for me to ask, I have always done everything on my own, but I know at some point I need to swallow my pride and ask for help thru this crisis. Right now I can use whatever help I can get to not just keep a float after losing my job, but to pave the way to get back to what I was earning, my desire is to help others and realistically that is only going to come if I am working for myself. I have references from my previous employer that I worked with for over 30 years, if needed. I have filed for unemployment, but we all know that is not much to work with, and I am still waiting for that to be approved. I would really appreciate any help I can get to get back on my feet and make a difference to start my new journey and helping others along the way.

Can you help a good man who is struggling to start over at age 61?

Dear friends and kind hearts,

I have a friend who has had an undeserved rough time of things over the past 3 years. I’ve known Joe since we were children and I’d like to share with you his story.
Joe was a good husband, father and member of the community. He volunteered in his community and was also a volunteer firefighter. Joe’s descent into depression seemed to have begun after his brother’s suicide. He loved his brother deeply and had him as his best man at his wedding, I was his groomsman. Joe didn’t take his brother’s death well. I feel that he somehow blamed himself.
A week after the funeral Joe’s sister was diagnosed with breast cancer. Joe and his sister were also very close. He was a groomsman at her wedding. I enjoyed hearing the stories of when they were children. Five years she came to visit him in November, they both knew that their time together was limited. He was so proud of her. He would brag about how strong and brave she was. It was clear, at least to me that as time drew to a close for his sister he would become more withdrawn. It was hard to see him go through this. Men are supposed to be strong but even the strongest of men would break under the stress and circumstances that would follow.
In the time between his brother’s passing and his sister’s passing Joe’s wife left him and their two children citing that she needed to care for herself. He now found himself being a single Dad. I really don’t know how he stayed so strong because life wouldn’t be done challenging him. Six months after moving into a small house that his kids could call home the company he worked for was purchased and he was laid off. He was able to secure work with a small renovation company but two years later that company would close it’s doors owing him 6 weeks wages.
Undetered, Joe set out to establish his own renovation company. He was successful for 18 months when there was a down turn in the economy and he once again found himself needing work. He landed a job with a restoration company that would ultimately seek to destroy him after five years of loyal service.
During those five years Joe was estranged by his children. I say here unjustly so and I believe that he was the victim of parental alienation when his wife decided become a part of their now adult children’s lives. Joe has only seen his grand daughter a few times and has never met his 3 year old grandson.
With an empty house Joe took in his parents in after they were evicted from their lease and they took over his house and lived rent free for nearly 2 years before they could secure residence in a retirement lodge.
While this was happening he started being harassed by a supervisor at work, all this was driving him into a deeper depressive state. With a lot of coaxing he started to see a doctor for his depression. Again with an empty house he decided that he would rent out rooms to help pay down his mortgage as quick as possible so that he could invest in his retirement. As luck would have it Covid19 struck that month and any plans to rent out rooms went up in smoke. Six months later he would attempt to end his life. His employer promised accommodation while he was being treated for major depression but instead keeping that promise his employer would escalate the harassment subjecting him to gaslighting, misleading instructions, micromanagement, sabotage and denying him basic human rights.
Joe just doesn’t deserve to be treated like this, no one whether living with depression or not does. Every person that he helped would end up stealing from him, others taking advantage of his situation, the city, realtors, scammers, family. Most of what I thought were his friends turned their backs on him. As he was losing his home the city would be harassing him as he tried to cope. He sold his vehicles in an attempt to save his house that he ultimately lost along with most of his possessions.
Joe was a model employee, outperforming his peers, every job profitable with 100% client satisfaction. It was six months after he was unjustly fired that I figured out that his former employer was painting him in a bad light.
Joe now lives in a broken down minivan, he’s been hospitalized for his depression. He doesn’t have the resources to renew his driver’s licence, insure a vehicle or even have a vehicle that he could use for work. He’s lost in there area of a quarter million believing and investing in people.
I feel like I’m failing him because I’m unable to help him anymore than I have been and so I’m reaching out to kind people such as yourselves to please lend a hand. I don’t want to lose my dear friend and I hate seeing him lose his faith in humanity.
In order to help this kind man get back on his feet I’m hoping to raise $10,000 so that he can at least have a vehicle to go to work with, regain his dignity and hopefully gather up some of the pieces of his broken life.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart. God bless!

THE PURPOSE WORTH YOUR ATTENTION!

A JOURNEY OF PURPOSE AND UNDERSTANDING…

Dear Sir / Madam, I am asking for your financial assistance in order to obtain my goal as a professional pianist. I was classically trained as a youth. Raised by my grandmother, for some reason- unbeknown to me at the time -she insisted that I play the piano; so, I had a piano teacher throughout Elementary, and Middle school. As I grew up, the piano and I grew apart; for the allure of the inner-city streets, and all the destructive behavior that comes along with that lifestyle. Indeed, I’ve been on a rollercoaster ride of trials, and tribulations. I’ve recently been released from prison; after having to survive 8 years of incarceration, brought on by 10 years of opioid addiction. That is truly the worst place to send someone suffering from any illness; but Thank God, that He knows no boundaries, for in that horrific, dark and desolate place, is exactly where my heavenly Father found me. Now THIS, for me was life changing. For I grew up without my earthly father around, I was raised on the prayers and sacrifices of the women in my family. My grandmother use to tell me all the time, when I was a young man getting in trouble; when I was frequently in, and out of jail: God is putting you in there for a reason; He has a job for you, and He’s trying to get your attention; but your moving too fast to hear Him, so He’s using jail to sit you down, sit you still, in order for you to hear Him! And by God, she was right, for He FINALLY got through to me. I just wish she was still alive to see what a transformation He has made in my life. For in that dark and desolate place, I FINALLY decided to trust Him; to trust in Him with my entire being, and not only did He make Himself real in my life; but He’d also kept me safe throughout that entire tenure of incarceration; He kept my mind protected throughout all that chaos: stays in multiple maximum security facilities; multiple stays in the Segregated Housing Unit, formally known as solitary confinement; as well as all the mental anguish, physical and verbal harassment that comes along with prison environment. And throughout all of that, God not only freed me from drug addiction (I surrendered to Him that I didn’t want this affliction any longer, and truly- clear, like these words being shared in this letter -He said: YOU WILL DO THIS NO LONGER! And since my Awakening, I haven’t had a craving; I haven’t had a relapse, nor did I need to attend any rehab center upon my release! He said: YOU WILL DO THIS NO LONGER! And those demons of addiction have since been banished from my life! I am truly an example, and living testament of how Powerful God Is: for not only did He free me from captivity, but He transformed me during those trials and tribulations, in captivity, and reset me with a new outlook on life, paired with a new purpose, better clarity on internal wisdom, and a spiritual awakening anchored in the miracles He’s performed in my life, that I’ve witnessed firsthand with my own eyes! There is truly no doubt in my mind the existence of a God / Higher Power / Divine Intelligence, and I believe that He has called me to help save lives and mentor the youth: by way of telling my story; and to bring joy and happiness into people’s lives, by entertaining them with musical therapy. Since being released, I enrolled and completed a Solar Panel Installation Workshop; and then continued my education by enrolling into an accredited trade school: (Huntington Park Community Solar Initiative), in which I graduated top of my class, and obtained my certification in Solar Panel Installation, & my O.S.H.A.10 Construction Safety and Health. I also assist my aging mother with caring for my older brother who is disabled, non-verbal, and needs ’round the clock care. He attends a Day Program (a facility where adults with disabilities go to do activities and enjoy their day). Well, they have a piano there! And I was so compelled to just sit and play. So, that’s what I did! And the Director of the Center was so impressed with my playing -even though I haven’t played for years at that point -that she offered me a job to play the piano, whenever their Company puts on events for their clients. And not just for that specific facility, but for all of their facilities, here in the Philadelphia, Pa region. Tell me that’s not God, right there??? For if it’s not, then surely it’s my grandmother, reassuring me from heaven that she can still hear me; that she’s never left me, and the promise she made me: that God is Real; and if I’d just Trust Him, and use that Gift / that Talent that He told her to instill in me so, so, long ago, that not only will that Gift provide for me, and my family; but that Gift will allow me to touch others in ways words can’t describe, and allow my message / my story, coupled with the music, will allow me to change people’s lives! Like I said before: I didn’t understand then, as a youth, as a young man; but I understand now! And I am requesting your assistance with bringing my Passion, my Vision, into Fruition! This is how I plan to utilize your funding: to purchase a professional keyboard; to purchase an amplifier and speakers to ensure my music is heard clearly no matter the size of the venue; to purchase attendance in a Master’s class course for the piano, offered by the Stephen Ridley Academy (see StephenRidleyAcademy.com); obtain my license; and purchase a used vehicle in order to commute to these engagements with my equipment. This vehicle will also allow me to gain employment, utilizing my Solar Panel Certification. The closest company to where I reside is called: PosiGen, and it’s a two hour commute from my home. A reliable vehicle will make that commute possible for me.
Soon as I’m fully equipped for the task at hand, sooner I’ll be able to do my part in helping to mentor the youth, and spread joy, love, music, and reawaken in many that internal spark that many have lost, or never knew existed. God taught me to practice patience, and that His blessings may not come when I want them; but rest assured that when I do receive His blessings, that they will be right on time! For He doesn’t make mistakes!

I welcome donations of any amount; as well as mentorship, and  guidance that you may have in assisting me with pursuing my Dreams; my Purpose.

When I tell people my story; my journey, they’re usually in agreement that what I overcame to be here today is a feat most would say is impossible! Especially, facing the battle of addiction for many years; to come home and not have One Craving; not One Relapse; and not need Any Post Rehabilitaion, should be a testament to the Transformative Power Of God! For He is the only sensible explanation for the Miraculous Change, and Trajectory of my life! Please grant me the opportunity to make you a Believer as well. I would also love to meet (either by video, or in person) all of you whom assisted me in making my dream, reality.

If not for anything else, let me at least please, play the piano for you; in hopes that it will convey to you that which I was enabled to put in words. For I am a firm believer in the adage: When the pupil is ready, the teacher will appear! Let me prove that I’m ready to take my life & purpose SERIOUSLY!

Help Me Change My Career, Please.

Hello, my name is Mark and for the past 20 years,  I worked in the restaurant mgmt industry. Hospitality was my passion and serving people to give them the best guest experience made me happy. It wasn’t always easy! I dealt with inebriated guests, customer complaints (the “in your face” types), fights (getting punched or smacked in the face and even spat on), unappreciative owners and GM’s, and staff that just weren’t as reliable as me. I recently lost my job because they “didn’t need me anymore” after relocating to Orlando and restructuring their restaurant and bar program. I’m an excellent manager and great at what I do, but it’s time to change because financially (Inflation) and emotionally I’ve lost interest. I’ve been studying Code, Python more specifically, and searching for work (yes more restaurants). I would like to go to school and take online courses but it takes months. I need assistance with my rent, bills even food. (I applied for government benefits but I probably won’t qualify.) My purpose here is to see if anyone could assimilate with my situation and hopefully help me. I’ve never asked for financial help before, but I have given it in the past. I read “Python for Dummies,” in a week and I want to Code and become a Data Analyst. Please help me pay my bills and when I finish my courses and switch careers I will pay everyone back! PROMISE! paypal.me/MLorenzana13

Financial help

7 years ago I went through a serious work injury. I had 4400 lbs of glass fall on me. I was lucky enough to survive however it still had sone life changing injuries. The doctors were lucky enough that they were able to save my left leg in which I almost lost. It took me 2 years to get back to the working force however, I was unable to hold down the jobs due to the injury. I have always had a dream of being an actor amd even went to school for it in my early 20’s however due to my life style and also my finacial situation I was never able to accomplish it hence how I ended up under 4400 lbs of glass.. I also suffer from ptsd from all that glass falling on me. Since now after so many years of not being able to pay my bills they have started to pile up and on top of not working again for the last 5 months they have only gotten worse to handle. I also want to try to pursue my acting again since I believe that career path will be the one I truly can succeed in. Thank your time and I will truly appreciate any help I can get.

Daughter who is desperate & in need

Dear Sir/Madam,

Hope this letter of mine finds you

My name is Lou 43 y/o, single, originally from the Philippines but now residing at London United Kingdom for 6 years now as an indefinite leave to remain status.

I am working as a full time Physiotherapist Technical Instructor under Therapies department at the private sector.

My salary is just enough to survive my monthly needs. Everyone knows that the inflation that’s been happening now a days here in UK is really bad.

So everytime its payday my salary is just only like a “glimpse in the eye”.

You need to pay your monthly rent, bills, plus I need to send financial support for my parents who are both seniors in the Philippines.

My parents managed to visit here in the UK after pandemic to celebrate last Christmas and this New year.

I really made that happen especially that both of my parents are getting sickly & wishes to travel until they can still able to do so.

As a daughter, I am just fulfilling my duties and wanted to make my parents happy.

Its not my parents to blame, but that’s where all my financial struggle started.

I am now in debt for £4,000.00.

£2,000.00 was used for their round trip tickets. And the remaining £2,000.00 which is mean’t for my UK Citizenship application for this year 2024.

Sad to say that the money that was supposedly intended for my Citizenship application was all used during their stay here.

So I tried to borrow another loan again for £1,000.00 thinking that I should be okay.

It turned out that the money is still used, so all in all by the time that they went back home in the Philippines last Feb. I ended up having a total of £5,000.00 debt.

I am really really financially struggling for my upcoming Citizenship application here in the UK.

I don’t know how to be able to raise that amount back.

Im doing loads of overtime but still my extra pay and hard work was not enough to raise that money back.

I’m supporting my parent’s, then paying my huge amount of debt so at the end nothing is left by the time everything is deducted unto my account.

I can’t even afford to pay the £150.00 amount for my B1 english exam as one of the requirements for my UK citizenship.

Now my mom is also turning 70 years old this July and wishes to be able to celebrate her birthday.

But how would I be able to do that if I am already in full debt.

Plus I wish to go home this year  to celebrate Christmas & New year after 6 years that I haven’t been back home since pandemic, as one of the front liner worker.

Which will again cost alot. Hence I don’t think that I would still be granted with another loan if I already had 2 existing loans.

When I saw this on you tube, I immediately hope that I could be also one of the lucky person that could be granted a sponsorship to pay my debt of £5,000.00

I just wanted to be debt free, hoping to fulfill my mom’s 70th upcoming birthday this July, to be able to book my B1 english exam, then followed by my UK citizenship application. Then lastly to be able to go home this holiday season after 6 years.

I am so desperate and wishes that someone would be kind enough to sponsor me.

I know that there are much more people out there that will need the help, but Im also just trying my best luck if someone who is much blessed & fortunate who will save me from my financial status right now.

Who ever kind hearted people you are that will be able to help me, would not only help me to push through with my UK citizenship application,  but also fulfilling my Mom’s wish & happiness which I’m the only one who can make that for her.

I will be truly grateful & will honour you for helping me out.

Thank you for taking time to read this, and praying that I could touch someones heart to fulfill my wishes…

I am one amongst the others desperately seeking & asking for someone’s help to fund me….

£5,000: total debt

£2,000: 70th Birthday   Celebration of Mom

£3,000: round trip ticket for Philippines

LIFE MISSION

I am a native New Yorker, raised in a metropolis that has uniquely influenced the person I have become. I aspire to continue educating and elevating myself toward a successful future. I aim to pay it forward to my community and city. Within this city lies a system that assists you when you are migrant or of low income with housing or education.  Yet in this economy if you make more money then 19,000 dollars a year you are expected to be able to pay your living expenses and pay for your education.  We know this is not feasible. As a person that does want to flourish and succeed to become economically independent beginning this path with outrageous student loans does hinder the momentum of one’s journey to success.
Breaking away from the economic structure that is built to enable this delay and pursuit for economic independence is an unfortunate struggle.  Purchasing a home after going to school and facing thousands of dollars of student loans is impossible and forces Americans to stay within the lower economic status. I ironically know many successful immigrants that were awarded free rides in school can graduate debt free and purchase home but is your American born into a lower income family and struggling to get by were are faced with the choice of either taking out loans and continuing our lives in a continuous state of debt for years or being content to living in a lower income community.  I am not afraid of hard work I am disheartened by the financial structure that stifles many Americans locking them into a social economic pool that is failing the American people. I am pursuing to secure a career in the medical field.

I am reaching out to those that have been fortunate  not having to face these struggles. I ask for your  assistants . I  have always been fascinated by the medical field, which is a crucial part of society’s health. I have learned so much withinthe field these several years of working in it.  I have obtainedleadership skills in my current role, gained plenty of insight, and become cognizant of what can improve the field.   I am ready to continue my education and learn the administrative side of the health field. To understand the logistics that comprise the umbrella, we call the medical field.

My interest in continuing my educational growth has led me once again to seek CUNY to assist me on that path.  My love for my craft as a Radiologic Technologist and my time as the Lead Technologist of the OR (operating room) in one of our New York City hospitals, has opened a plethora of opportunities and interests.  Obtaining a bachelor’s in health administration would provide me with the tools I need to continue my growth in my field.  It will also allow me to give back to my community and help me become an active member of an administrative team that will work diligently for the betterment of our NYC hospitals. Please help out your fellow American so I can continue to help other fellow Americans

Too Blessed to be Stressed

Who are we?  

We are a Christian family of five.  A wonderful husband, wife and three blessed children:  two girls ages 10 and 5 and one boy age 8.  My husband works and I became a stay home mom shortly before our first child was born.  Since then we took the decision that I would remain at home, as our family expanded, to care for and school our children.  We have been married for 11 years.

 

What is our situation?

At the time we got married my husband had a small business which I helped him to operate however, it became increasingly harder with the competitive landscape in our country, especially from the larger companies that oftentimes corner the market.  Nevertheless we persevered and was able to start our family and made a small living off the business in those initial years.

While things were financially and emotionally difficult, we followed our conviction about how our children should be schooled, and simultaneously started on a journey writing books from which they would come to learn and love the word of Christ while learning and loving to read in a most exciting and enlightening way.  Today we enjoy the benefit of seeing the results of this endeavor.  However, we were only financially able to commercially publish one book and have had only  5 sales since (without making any profit).  The small business went into a state of dormancy.  It became difficult for us to pay our rent and so we gave up the residency and had to turn over some of our furniture which were bought when we just got married.  Early 2019 we managed to secure a new rental home through one of the few friends we had and, since then, my husband became employed at the beginning of 2019 until the end of 2021 (after COVID his job was made redundant) and then again early 2023 to present.

Tragedy in the early years 2012-2018:  Shortly after we got married, my husband’s father passed suddenly, then sometime shortly following his mother developed Alzheimer’s disease, to this day she is still in bed.  On the other hand and during the same period, my brother died (within 4 months of learning) from cancer, then one year after my sister had a stroke and my aunt and grandfather also passed suddenly in short succession).  The time was fast becoming overwhelmingly distressing, to say the least, on us both.  Remember we also had very small children then, which both of us cared for while trying to run the business from home.  Oh, and did I tell you, for some reason we had no support from both sides of the family, not even friends.  Well thankfully, we were able to call on one or two friends…literally.  I don’t know what would have happened if we did not have the Lord and each other to support in a way that maybe only we could understand.

At the end of 2018 when we had our third child it seemed the issues and all that was happening began taking a toll on the marriage and also my health.  About six months after the birth, my health started to deteriorate but the doctors couldn’t say what.  When I explained my home situation they say it had to do with anxiety. Anyway, I turned my face to the Lord and He led me to remain steadfast in the reading of the Word.  After sometime, this was what turned around my health for the better.  Thank you Jesus.  For two years after my first child, I was weak a lot of the time and my energy level went up and down.  It was difficult for me to care for the children and also teach them.  Thankfully,  my husband had started the first job after the business shut down and we were able to employ an unemployed neighbor to come in and help out with the children while my husband was away at work during the days.  We also managed to secure  a credit card which was used for the publishing of the book and to help out with food, as this was essential for all of us, but especially also for the development of my health.

We ended up leaving that home March 2023 because since my husband lost his job after COVID it eventually became difficult for us to pay our bills and were given notice.  We sought temporary housing until he secured another job and then were able to move into this rental home where we are now.  It was and has been so hard on my husband because everything has rested on him financially.  He also has to come in from work and do so much around the house because sometimes it has been too much for me alone to manage.  The children are a little older now and so they help out with the little they can.  Since then I have gotten much stronger and these have been my strongest days yet.  We are looking forward to even greater days.  Thank Jesus!   When it comes to our health, we rely on the Lord simply.  We also do what we can at home for a healthy living however, do also make occasional visits to the doctor when we manage to put aside something.

As it relates to the fundamentals for life, we are barely able to cover rent, food and other basic bills each month with my husband’s salary and do seek the rare opportune occasions to purchase clothes and shoes for our children and ourselves.  As a result, we have had to go without the other necessities essential for making life a little bit more liveable.    When it comes to furniture, it has been very minimal since we previously had to give up most of our furniture to offset owed rent.  For seats, we use foam  to dine and for classes in the daytime.  We have had one queen size bed since we got married which we have given to the children for all three of them to sleep on.  My husband and I use a sponge on the floor.  We have a washing machine which is rusting and so broken with a make shift covering at the top.  We bought two, two-burner electric cook tops, both are broken and we are down to using only one of the burners from one of the cookers.  Now meal prep takes up so much of our time.  Our living room literally has a three by two tier cage which houses our children’s books and toys, two baskets with toys and plastic bags with personal items that we have not packed out since moving here, because we have no place for storage.  The children use their foam puzzle pieces or small cushions for seats on the floor in the living room during play time.  Our bedroom has the sponge on which we sleep and a small chest of drawer which my husband brought in the marriage.  In our children’s room is the queen size bed on which they sleep and a small three tier container for their personal items.  We have a small refrigerator that is partially rusting.  Thank God we have a small dining table which my husband made approximately two years ago (as he learned some carpentry from his father while growing up).  This table has meant so very much to our family as we dine, fellowship, watch different programs together here, do school with the children here and so much more.  For seating at the table, over the past six years we have not sat on a proper chair or seat but rather used igloo, buckets and other types of make shift seats.  The hardness has become unbearable for the children as they are challenged by cramping muscles as a result, even when we use foam or cushions on the top.  Before this we had a little make shift table that could hardly accommodate the family and our needs.  Last, December, we were able to purchase a new laptop when my husband received a bonus from his office.  We decided to make this sacrifice as it was an investment in our children’s schooling and also because I had planned on getting a virtual job to help out with the finances.  Getting a job did not work out even though I have sent out so many applications.  Since then, I have decided to pursue two e commerce ventures of our own instead of doing work for someone else online.  These ideas are in the beginning stages of research and product development.  I will also be seeking funding in other places to implement these ideas.  There is a loan clearing a credit card bill which we have been carrying since the publishing of our book, which is mostly cleared but currently in a state of delinquency.  Lastly, our car.  Hmm.  Our 2002 car has been with us and served us through thick and thin.  God has used it to keep us faithfully through our early marital years, through the birth of our children and even until now.  However, it is on the verge of falling apart altogether, unless the Lord continues to faithfully hold it together.  Recently, a friend bought us a replacement second hand engine which the mechanic told us would help to solve many of the issues it has been experiencing.  While thankfully, it is still driving there are so many things that need fixing.  I am sometimes worried that it is becoming somewhat unsafe for us to keep this vehicle, and especially take our family around in it.  We have so many things that are broken and on the verge of falling apart but the Lord has held us together until now.  We are tired of living in this state and this is the reason we are asking for your help with the total sum of US$126,810.00, as per the following breakdown:

Why should you help us?

I have read through a few of the submissions and seen the vast array of dire needs of the people.  My heart weeps.  Our family, especially our beloved children, have lived for years without some very basic things that will make our lives more bearable or able to be endured.  Our children never complain and they say, “Mommy everything will be OK.  God is taking care of us.  He is going to provide all we need.”  They encourage my faith to always continue believing.  I want to do this, especially for them.  We are a family that desire to help others.  Our desire has always been to be so blessed that we can also be a mighty blessing to others.  Your support and kindness to us will go a very far way in first helping our family to finally begin to live a life we have only dreamed of thus far.  We will be able to focus on putting our energies in our new upcoming ventures where we will now be able to become a source of strength and help to people who also need it.

The simple but essential necessities we have lived without for so long, but now require, are no longer a luxury in our eyes but requirements for our life.  The distress is sometimes very overwhelming and very often takes a toll on our health.  As we ask for your help, we are simply relying favour to fall upon our family and not for anything we have done or can ever do to deserve this.  The knowledge of this opportunity you offer has brought so much hope into our hearts and has brought to us a confident expectation of good in our future.

 

When do we need help?

Within the next three months of this submission.

 

How will we use the help we have received?

We plan to use the money for the very purposes it is being requested.

 

So what if you choose to help us and what is next?

You will not regret making this life changing investment in this family as our dream, aspirations and goals are to bring much needed change to our lives first and then to the lives of many suffering people in this world.  Your investment will not only be for us but our children and their children, and for the lives of many and for generations to come.  We have two new business ventures on the brink of pursuing in order to make the change permanent for us and our children, and hopefully for others along the way.  We know that your help will put our lives on the path of needed change that will only make the difference for us.

Thank you for this very thoughtful life giving and life changing outreach to others.  Had it been composed any differently, I might not have been able to take advantage of the help.  You are truly God-sent and we pray for your health and life to be always so very blessed.
