First of all I pray to the Lord to open people’s hearts to help me in this matter. I know that without His grace and mercy I will get no one penny, so i totally rely on the Lord’s help through you.

Here is the story.

I’m almost 60, and I’m a self-tougt musician for the most part of my life. In 2008 I’ve started to collect music equipment to build my simple home studio to record some family and my local church members of their singing or narrations. For a couple of years I’ve gathered some computer recording equipment and some keyboards (I’m a keyboard player) and my credit card amount generally came to $10,000. Then I’ve tried to do some recordings, made some, but in the wide view I’ve started to get a thought that it is not as profitable as I’ve thought. From 2008 to 2012 I’ve struggled to pay back my credit card bills in time. But then 2012-2013 came with the recession when people were not be able to keep being recorded or help with the studio visits whatsoever. Since then, I’ve tried to sell back the equipment I’ve bought, but it was not sold even for a part of the price I’ve bought it. Gradually my credit card amount raised to $17,000 for all these years (I’ve tried to apply for $0 APR cards just to win some time to pay back, but every time I did make a transfer I had to pay transfer fees in addition, and the debt amount therefore raised as a result). As of today, I still have some months to pay CC debt with the minimal payments, but the end of it will definitely come sooner then I expect… So now I just bed you to donate some little money to collect needed $17,000 just to be free of this debt. Again, I sincerely pray to the Lord that He will open your heart to do so. Thank you from the depth of my hard! Even $1 will make a huge difference!! May the Lord bless you tremendously!

To whom this may concern,
My name is Helen Rupe, and I am writing to you regarding not only
the hardship that I have been cursed to endure, but also to say how
much of a blessing it was to finally be able to find an organization like
yourself, that are wanting to help and lift people up. As I read through
some of the stories of people and their hardship, I felt like I almost
fit in, I’ve always managed my life the way I can, but the last three
years have simply left me broken, but it felt good knowing I’m not
struggling alone, like there really are people going through hardship
too.

At the age of 16, I had never made the plan to be a single
mother, but twenty seven years later and after having both of my sons,
I couldn’t picture it any other way, I’ve managed the best I could with
little to no help, even without a single child support check, I still did it
alone for my boys. So, with two boys and no assistance, I always
worked, so that I could ensure a great future for my boys.
I have always been a certified cook, it’s what I love to do.
Although I enjoyed most of my time working in local ma and pa
restraints, the downfall is that most cooks don’t get to receive any
pensions, 401K contributions, or many other benefits. At the time I
didn’t mind, but benefits would have come in handy when I learned I
had severe carpal tunnel. After undergoing two operations, I learned
that not only did it not work, but my nerve damage has worsened to the
point of being told I may never possess the capability of using my
hands the same way again. Being told I am not able to work anymore
was completely devastating, so being the stubborn woman that I am, I
still tried working with absolutely no success. I was forced to leave the
only thing that I’ve ever known, I was officially considered disabled.
Two of the toughest situations I have had to deal with were the day I had to leave the kitchen, and the two year struggle of fighting for
disability assistance.

After the long two year and two month struggle, I
finally received a positive verdict. But reality sunk in when I had to
figure out how I was going to manage to recover from two years and
two months of no income. Almost a $3,000 income difference is what I
have to handle, for the first time in my life I am considered low
income. Due to such a difference in income, I was forced to watch my
vehicle become repossessed and I’m drowning in mortgage payments.
My boys and I worked very hard to find out forever home, so it
breaks my heart feeling like I will have to be forced to tell them that
the home we built, together to last forever, may not be forever
anymore. The last thing I want is to have my boys worry about me even
more then they have too. My boys are my everything, and with them
almost having to say goodbye to me already this year due to a life-
threatening injury and illness, I can’t bear to see my boys like that
again.

I began feeling ill December 2019 and After being admitted and
in critical condition in caused by severe pancreatitis, at the start of
the new year I underwent Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio-
Pancreatography (ERCP). After two days I finally got released to finish
recovery at home, and I started feeling like my old self again. Until
reality struck once again, because what I came home to was a stack of
bills a mile high and once again I feel like I get three steps forward
but all of a sudden I’m knocked two steps back again. I’m known for
being a fighter, I fight through every obstacle that is thrown my way
the best way i can. But sometimes, even the best fighters need help
too.

In conclusion, I would just like to thank you again for the
opportunities that you bless upon individuals struggling through lifes hardship battles. Although assistance would be one of the biggest
blessing I could receive to help rebuild what I have lost, I still would
just like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving
individuals the second chance at life, and the boost that they need to
save them and grant them comfort in life. Your organization has truly
touched my heart.Thank You
Sincerely,
Helen Rupe

This is more a wish then an absolute need. I currently have a small income which covers all my primary expenses (with a wee bit left over). I eat well and dress nice.  I have no car (I carpool mostly). I live in a descent, albeit not large, apartment. I spend a lot of time thinking and conceptualizing things related to music, finance, religion, politics, relationships, and comedy.

What is missing: public exposure.  I lived in Los Angeles and connected from a distance with people and celebrities in Hollywood, joining the Screen Actors Guild. One of my grandfathers is from upstate New York, the other is from Virginia (born in Washington DC). While I relate to these three locations intellectually, I currently do not have the means to relate in person.  I sense a need to be more visibly present in the affairs of the world. I know I can help people. I am a problem solver by nature (personality type INTP). And while I like a certain degree of isolation, too much is unhealthy. I connect to my immediate community in all the ways I can (church, internet, clubhouse, caretaker, etc.), but the issues and ideas I am occupied with daily are generally too foreign to their thinking to be worthy of much discussion.  They are generally too occupied with how things have been to care much about how things should or could be. I receive SSI for mental health reasons, but this only covers the most basic needs. Things like travel are limited. I am not freely able to mingle with those who can benefit from my insight. It’s as if my influence affects them the way a dream would, not a face to face encounter. I need to travel to the places my ideas can be “plugged in,” so to speak.

I would like money I receive to go for travel expenses primarily (car, airplane, Uber) and lodging. I would like to understand and be better understood by the people that are on the frontier of creating reality – that are making decisions that affect us in fundamental ways.  I wish to personally be involved in the destiny of our country and planet – particularly in the eight dimensions of well-being (intellectually, emotionally, physically, spiritually, environmentally, socially, financially, and occupationally).

I still am working on carving out a niche for myself occupationally.  I relate to some degree to many occupations and have experience in multiple job settings.  I feel however, that I need to be traveling and connecting to people that see and think the way I do (California, NY, DC, etc.) Living in the community I am in (Walla Walla, WA) is nice for reflecting on things, but occupationally I don’t fit here.  It’s the sidelines for me.

I don’t necessarily need a lot of money up front.  Any amount can and will get me moving. This is about reaching out and putting down some roots into locations that can benefit from my presence. This may take time.

I’m still trying to understand the concept of “pay it forward,” but I do sense that this whole thing is going to inevitably benefit those I come to connect with.

Thanks for time. Wishing you the best,

Ryan

Hello, my name is Robin Dhaly and I’m a 20 year old. My parents are abusive, physically and psychologically. They often beat me and say degrading and very hurtful things. One time, my mother beat me with a broom because I spilled some dish soap she asked me to get her. Another time, she poured boiling water on me because I wasn’t paying attention to my priest.

I’ve dealt with this for two decades…they often beat me every day and sometimes just because they were angry or because they wanted to “discipline me”. My dad even told me, “What’s the point of raising you if you’re not gonna give me money?” But one day, I met an amazing women. Her name is Holly and she lights up my world. She’s smart, sarcastic and funny. I truly love her more than anything.

We’ve in a relationship now and she makes me happier than anything else in the world. I want to spend my life with her. So I left my abusive family to try to live with my amazing girlfriend on the other side of the country. I made it there and I thought my dreams had finally come true. I had an amazing and understanding landlord/roommate who did the best he could to help.

Unfortunately, it didn’t work out and I quickly ran out of money. My family found me and I was forced to go back due to financial hardship. I told them I want to live with my girlfriend but they refused to provide assistance financially and mocked me. I have been trying my hardest to save up money so I can move back but no jobs want me as I don’t yet have a degree…I had to quit college to be able to run away. I just wanna be away from my hostile and abusive family and be with my girlfriend.

I have been dreaming of this for so long, to be able to be free and happy. To not be worried everyday if I will be hurt, to be able to actually see and feel my girlfriend in person, to truly be happy and safe. To know what it feels like to wake up next to a person you love and cherish and know you won’t be beat that day.

My savings goal is $10,000 and if you can provide anything at all, I’d be eternally grateful. Please help me be free and happy and safe. Thank you.

In 2018 my twin sister, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2012 and beat it, was told her cancer had come back and metastasized to her liver.  She is a fighter though and so positive. With the initial doses of chemo that she had for 7 months it killed all but the tiny bit that they call inactive or stable.  At first it was a mix of 3 different chemo meds every few days, but now it is down to a mix of two chemo meds every 3 weeks. The one chemo med that made her really sick is not in the mix anymore.  She will only do that one again when the cancer comes back, and it will come back.

She will have treatments every 3 weeks for the rest of her life because there is no cure for metastatic breast cancer.  She is on disability now at the request of her doctor. He says her only job now is to fight cancer. 

I think she is running through her bucket list, I admire her living her life to the fullest, but cry each time I think about why she has to. I have taken a lot of little trips with her this past year and she is always thinking of more and more to go on. I have 3 years until I retire so I can spend more time with her, the issue is will she still be feeling good enough for us to be able to.  

She has been my best friend since we were in the womb, and neither of us had kids so we are each other’s person. Sisters have a great bond, but twin sisters, there is nothing stronger. I really do not know what I am going to do without her.  I can’t even do a search for metastatic breast cancer to see how I can help, or if there are new treatments because when I see the statistics I am a mess and have to stop. 

I need to be able to be with my sister as much as possible, can you help?. I am asking for 75,000 so I can pay off my bills and retire from work to spend all the time I can with her.  I have added a picture of the 2 of us when we both our heads shaved down together right after the diagnosis.

Thank you so much for all your help, you cannot know what it means to me.

My dad is 76 and my mom is 75 and I just want them to be able to really retire, and not have to work to have money for food or a road trip to visit relatives in our old hometown. I am asking for $75,000 so they can get a car and my dad does not have to work anymore.

My dad has worked hard since he was a very young child and deserves to just rest, relax, watch TV, go for drives, or do whatever he and my mom want.  They don’t deserve to struggle to pay bills, or drive a car that is falling apart. I can see the pain when they have to ask for help, and it hurts my heart and soul deeply when we can’t because none of us kids really ended up in a position where we could.

I sit and cry every time I think of them struggling and wish and pray for something to happen so that they can live their retirement years without worrying or working.  

Even with the lack of money my mom and dad still have a great Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner for us and she still manages to get gifts for my great niece and now great nephew.  They have always put us kids, grandkids, and now the great-grand children before themselves and I just want karma to repay their kindness with a life of no worries and not having to set an alarm to get up for work at 77.  

Can you help me to help them?  I would give anything, anything at all to see them in a new car, traveling back to their hometown to visit old friends and relatives which they would love to be able to do and no worry about not having enough money to get there or have to get back quickly for my dad to go to work.  They are the greatest parents in the world and I love them so much, I just want to see them happy, relaxed, and worry free. 

I have attached a family picture. My dad is on the very right and mom is the 2nd from his left.

Thank you so much for all your help and kindness.  It means a lot that my dad won’t have to work anymore, especially with his health.
