I’ll begin my request by stating it is sometimes the hardest task to admit that you need help.

I am currently in a situation, along with my significant other, that we are desperately trying to get out of.
I’ll attempt to make a long story short, and briefly summarize everything.

She[my Significant Other] hasn’t been able to work lately due to severe anxiety issues, and other physical limitations. She is unable to get disability though, because we are unable to afford the trips to the doctors in order to get it done. I think it’s self explanatory that we also can’t afford health coverage, and the free options don’t really cover much cost-wise, in our case. Working alone, renting an apartment in NJ, supporting the two of us and several animals, I’ve fallen into a hole of debt I don’t see myself being able to climb out of alone, along with ruining my credit. Not to mention, we’ve been evicted once before, because of not being able to afford the bills.

Along with that, she has severe infections in her mouth that have been causing her teeth to fall out and if left untreated much longer, will eventually make its way to her brain; killing her. But that’s just part of the story…

At the end of February, 2020, we had to leave our apartment because I was no longer able to afford rent, as it was being raised an extra $100 a month. Our only option was to move into her step-dads house. My parents wouldn’t take the both of us in because of our pets. Her family refuses to help if she isn’t working. Her step-dad is only around a day or two out of each week, as he mostly lives with his new Girlfriend. Leaving behind in his broken house, his 20 year old daughter who he’s neglected most of her life.

Their mom passed in 2013, leaving the step-dad in a zombie-like state. Because of this, the house (our only option, besides being homeless) is in shambles. The foundation is caving in, the ceiling inside is falling down, due to the black mold build up that has been left untreated, and unfixed, for years; just like everything else in the house. Not only that, but it’s infested with fleas and other types of annoying insects that are causing major problems with our pets.
Her sister who lives in the room next to us, constantly steals from us, as if us feeding and taking care of her wasn’t enough. If we cause an issue about it, the step-dad will throw us out, as he cares more for his real daughter than he does for the stepdaughter(my S.O), though he neglects both of them entirely unless begged for help. There’s no internet, so we can’t do online school like we had planned. I wanted a certificate in music production, and she wants to be a licensed realtor. In person school is not an option, thanks to COVID.

We desperately need to get out of this place, for our safety, and for the safety and betterment of our pets, and three kittens born on Easter, who are slowly getting worse with each passing day.

The cherry on top, is now there’s a global pandemic, and I end up losing my job that was paying our bills and feeding us. Unemployment has been no help, as it’s been a month and nothings changed for my file status. So in a week, my car will be repossessed, for the last time. In a Month we will be homeless, because I can’t pay the rent to live in this disaster house. I won’t be able to afford to repay a loan anytime soon, and the longer we’re here, the more I fear for my significant other, and my pets who I raised since they were 4 weeks old.
Any attempts to fix my credit, backfires, as it is now below 400. And hers only mid 400s. I truly am seeing no way out, and lose more faith each day.

We need serious help, a boost into society, to help us land on our feet and do the things we dream of, and set out to do.
I will make a list of everything any donations will be used for, as there is a lot. This is a series of unfortunate events, that has become a bundle of severe problems rolling down a hill; continuing to gain speed with no stop in sight.

The list:
Medical Bills (to diagnose and treat significant other)

Dental Bills (to remove infections from significant others mouth, replace all teeth as more than a few have fallen out or chipped, and the rest are beginning to rot. [just this process alone has been estimated by her last dentist, years ago mind you, at around $20,000. Its only gotten worse.])

Debt repayment to fix credit (for both)
Pay off car loan in full ( saves about $250/month, increased credit, 1 less bill to pay[current payoff quote is around $5,500])

First and foremost, new housing. (Most of the donations would be used as a down payment on a house, and if enough, several mortgage payments, and if we really have enough, we could just outright buy a decent place. We especially want to do this now during the collapse of mortgage payments, and the housing market. We could get a decent home for a really good price, and get out of this hell of a home we currently live in.)

Vet bills, and treatment for all pets. (6 cats, 3 young kittens, a dog with severe skin conditions linked to the state the house is in, the dog has lived here her whole life, and 1 bunny)

I would also like to completely repair and refurbish the place we currently stay in, for her younger siblings who will have to stay, and because the family will end up having to pay for it down the road, which they can’t afford either. But thats only if there’s enough.

I would like the email of whoever donates, so I can stay in contact with said person and formally update them on what would be our current situation, thanks to your donations. Any receipts would be presented upon request, medical bills and dental bills, vet bills, and any other information you may want to see. You should know exactly how your money will be helping us.

For any other information, or to ask questions or to learn more about us and our story, you can email me, I will be happy to answer any questions or provide any further insight. I’ll even provide pictures if I must.

Hello, my name is Celeste and I’m a germaphobe. Usually I can semi-function like a normal human being- but I’ve run into a problem.

My family has lived with my aunt for four years and now we’ve decided to move but… I don’t want to move in with my mom. I love her to pieces but I know that I’d be in a very triggering environment and that I wouldn’t be guaranteed peace of mind or have a sanctuary to recoup when my mental illness has gone a bit haywire. I’d be sharing a room and a bathroom with my brothers and just the thought alone is enough to send my anxiety spiking.

So what I’m asking for is just a little help so I can get my own shared apartment with my best friends who are fully accommodating of my mental health. Any amount would and I would deeply and sincerely appreciate it. Thank you.

Hi! My name is Kima Antoine. I am a 21-year-old school teacher’s assistant looking to compete on a show called The Fashion Hero. I am not sick or down on my luck, I am just a small-town girl with big dreams. I am auditioning for a show called The Fashion Hero. It is an international competition series that promotes body inclusivity. The show is looking for ordinary people to help get their foot in the fashion industry. I feel I am a good candidate because I have the least desired proportions, complexion, style, and background the show is looking for. All my life I played it safe and never did anything as exciting as compete on international television. Every month, the show chooses five people to go pass production. To get into the top five, all I need is a $1 contribution from you kind donors. I feel like my life has been a huge waste because I have never gone above and beyond with it. I would like to think now is the best time to start living rather than never. To prove I am good for the money, I will keep my donors updated on ranking and placement in the show. I will even put down my participant link so you can keep tabs. As confirmation, I will post any receipts proving the money is going towards the competition. I promise I am not going to give up and fight to get on this show.

If this is not a good enough campaign to give your money to, can I ask that you at least use the referral link? It would be free to sign up and use your one free vote to help me go up the chart. That way, you do not spend money, again, if this is not a good enough campaign to endorse. Thank you for your kindness and support. The only ambition I have is to be a role for average-sized girls and boys who feel that they have to live up to an unrealistic beauty standard. This show, I believe, is a movement towards change that the world so desperately needs. I can be the one to facilitate that change. Please, from the bottom of my heart, help me be the next face of The Fashion Hero. You will not regret your decision to help. I am a great chance worth taking.

My name is Renee and I left 25 years of abuse, I moved on and I’m not looking back. I left everything and walked out with the clothes on my back. He would tell me your not going no where, who will will want you, your worthless no one cares, so I should just kill myself. No one would even notice. I’ve been in a new place for going on a month, it’s pretty hard, but I’m doing it. I managed to get my house furnished and keep all bills paid. I’m looking begging asking for help on transportation. I don’t have a car and can’t afford to buy one. I’m not a well woman and walking in this desert is horrible, summers around the block and it will be extremely hot. If anybody knows and can feel my pain to begin to know what it feels like to be spit punched kicked dragged tortured, can open their heart to me and help me. I can sit down with you and let you really feel and understand what I’ve encountered through my life. Domestic abuse is no joke m, why we stay in this horrible place, is because we don’t know our self worth, until we find it or just had enough is when we set our self free. All this time I knew God had me, and he helped me find me. I went from having it all to having nothing that fast, but was it worth it…NO NEVER… I promise myself to always remember where I came from and never look back go back. When I feel life is too much, I look around me and see how much I accomplished, their I am fulfilled in my heat and helps, makes me push harder to achieve what is needed. I put this man in prison and he will be there for the rest of his life, the trail Alone was the worst. But I got through it. A year of going back and forth to court. Fighting for my right as a human being who’s been tortured and abused really paid off.. I don’t have to hide anymore thinking he’s gonna break into my house, waking up and he’s on topof me. I will never have to experience that ever again in life. I get therapy to help me get this hurt out of me, but I still wake up terrified screaming, but I know it’s not real. Soon one day I will feel whole again and learn to trust people and not be afraid of what life has to offer me, but until that day comes I stay focused and ready for life to bless me with opportunity. Thank you for listening to my story.

Hello, I am Josh and I am 22 years old. I live in the united states and I’ve been here since my birth. I am currently stuck at home due to the pandemic happening at the moment. My dream is to become a formula 1 driver but I know that it isn’t very likely for that to happen so any motorsport will do for the time being. It is very hard to get into any kind of racing however I have hope. Lately, I have been entering into races trying to get noticed and the community but with my current situation, I am not able to race anymore. Simulation racing technology at the moment is nearly identical to real-life racing with the exception of the forces that you fell while actually driving. It has been proved that practicing on a good simulator can improve your racing in the real world. I am short the money to purchase a simulator and I have to pay bills and whatnot.  Time is slowly running out for me to still have a chance at racing in the big-leagues. A simulator would get me closer to racing with the pros or getting into simulation racing e-sports.  Everything is closed so I am not able to go to the race track or go-karting for practice to get me close to my dream. I have been saving money for a while to get a racing simulator for practice when I don’t have time go to go to the track, but I am now out of work so I cannot gain any money. This is my last resort to try and get help. I am asking for $600 but very penny counts so even if you are only able to donate $10 or $20 it would be greatly appreciated. I have never tried outsourcing for money for my own personal life before and I’m not sure if this will work however I feel it is the last thing that I can try. I have had countless people doubt me of my dream and some say that it is too late but it might still be able to happen. I’m sure some of the people reading this had a dream that they were able to fulfill and if I was not in trouble financially I would love to help someone out with their dream. The joy that they would have doing what makes them the happiest in the entire world and I would know that I gave that to them.

Thank you for taking the time to read this

Have a wonderful day and God bless

Stuck in the Hamster Wheel of Credit Card Debt

 Greetings fellow Bright Lights! I am a bartender, I live in San Diego and I work (worked 😥) downtown! I have lived here since I was 18, and I am so thankful and blessed to be where I am! (I’m 34 now, so 16 years of SD, I think I count as a local now!) I had been single for most of my time in SD… thus causing me to tack up a $19,500 credit card bill. Originally it had 0% APR and I was like, “ok Dana, be responsible. I tried, but as things sometimes happen it has spiraled and the interest is just really drowning me. I am so grateful for the community close to me and those that are far, yet still so close, thanks to the internet! If all I have to worry about is money right now, then I’m really doing well! But I am just wishing on a star 🌟 Thank you 🥰🙋‍♀️🌈🤩

“Family” is a single word, with many different meanings. People have many ways of defining a family and what being a part of a family means to them. Families differ in terms of economic, cultural, social, and many other facets, but what every family has in common is that the people who call it a family are making clear that those people are important in some way to the person calling them his family. 

Our community/nation/world is facing problem, this we all know and understand. During this time is has brought new light to my current situation of being far from my family, children, grandchildren, siblings and extents to long life friends.  

I am working on trying to fix this situation by raising funds to get back to my family. I am activity searching for property that would place me in the center of the area of my family. I am looking for a large amount of acreage with an existing home or where I can build a home. If it has a home, I would like to build on or already have a large place where everyone can gather for events of life, holidays and more. I lost my parents several years ago while I lived 22 hours away. I don’t want to have that for my children. 

During this time of isolation, it has shown how much family really means and how much families really need each other for more than just a knowing they are there. Family means to be able to help out one another, like shopping when one is sick, or helping with repairs, driving the elderly and preparing food so they can get by wile still living on e their own. With children you can offer help with day care while kids are out of school, so parents can still work helping with school work, projects and more.  

I am looking for the place that everyone knows they are safe, have a place to stay or ask for help if they need it. I want to bring my large family group back together again so we all form that bond that has been lost to time, the internet and loss of the generation before us that taught us what it is like to work together. I have found multiple places with and without homes on the property. The one I believe that would work the best, still reasonable and can be built on to is $150,000.00. This has a home on acreage that has enough bedrooms and room to expand for more family. 

In addition, I want to have an area where all of our fur babies can run and play together, since the majority of my family are dog lovers. I will build play areas for the different ages of grandchildren and an area for the adult to sit and converse. I will have an area where groups of people can get together to preserve (can & freeze) food, this will allow people to get ahead and also stock up for the ones that may need help later. 

With the situations going on now, I have had to use the little I began to save to get by while helping others in the apartment complex I live in.

You can help me solve the problem I’m trying to fix. Your support is would make a large impact on my efforts to get back to my “family”. 

Thank you in advance for your contribution. Your donation will go toward the purchase of the property. 

Thank you again! 

 Sincerely, 

Kimberly Locker 

Hi. My name is Nicole. I am 30 years old and live in Colorado. I am a Care provider, I am an Artist, I am a Teacher, I am a dreamer, and I am a survivor. I am a survivor of childhood and domestic abuse. Sadly I am not the only one. Thousands of men, woman, and children are abused everyday. Many victims give up hope and end up repeating abusive relationship cycles and lose their true identities. Some don’t make it at all.  Two years ago shortly after the assault that left me broken, bruised, homeless, jobless, and feeling completely hopeless I was diagnosed with Complex PTSD which is a more serious form of PTSD from prolonged exposure to abuse. I didn’t think I’d be able to come out of the shell that I put myself in but then I decided to give Yoga a try. I was finally home. I felt completely safe and full of love which is something I’d never felt before. I can’t even begin to describe the impact it  has made in my life. I want to be a voice and a safe hope for people who have suffered through traumatic experiences. I want to share a gift that never stops giving and offers hope and love and shine light  in times of darkness and sorrow and despair. I am currently enrolled in in a Yoga Teacher Training Course and have dreams of having a place that I can offer free yoga classes to Victim’s and survivors of Abuse and Trauma. I am here today to ask for financial assistance so that I may find a safe place to open up a practice to heal others and to be able to provide all necessary props and equipment for practice. It would not only be helping me but so many others as well. My goal is to make an impact on the lives of as many people as I possibly can. To make a difference. Even if you cannot give anything in a material sense please give your love to someone who seems to be hurting. Talk to your friends and family. Check in with them. Love always. Thank you.
