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 ÂŁ30 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 đŸ˜Ș) 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 đŸ€—

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 đŸ€Šâ€â™‚ïž 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 5000ÂŁ

thank you for reading my story I appreciate any help I can get đŸ™đŸ»Â  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 fiancĂ© 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 ÂŁ10,000 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.

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.
