I was laid off from my job in the mortgage business in 2007. I tried to find a job for four years, while still managing to pay the mortgage from my savings. No jobs in mortgage, and no interest (despite my skills in general office duties) from other types of business. In December of 2010 I ended up in the hospital with a life threatening skin cancer-I hadn't sought medical treatment because of losing my health insurance, but it got to the point that I was taken out of the house on a stretcher. Now my only source of income is SS disability (my sternum was removed in surgery). My house is being foreclosed. There's no way that I can ask for help with keeping the house, it's too much money. But, I need help with being able to find a place to live where I can bring my two dogs. They are rescued German Shepherds. They are both old, and would have no chance of being adopted if I take them to a shelter. Giving up my devoted friends isn't an option, but any place that I can afford on the disability income alone doesn't allow dogs. I spent all my savings keeping my house because I truly believed that I would be able to find a job. I just need some help to get a new home for me, Chance and Bentley until they either are ready to leave and I can go rent a little room, or I can regain enough strength to go back to work.

My name is Lance. I am 39, and going through a divorce. Two weeks after she filed, I was one of several victims of company layoffs. I had been married for 14 1/2 years and working for the same company for 15 years. I put my wife through college, and never got my turn. I am trying to find a job, but in this economy it is tough. I am the primary custodian of our two boys, ages 4 and 8. My unemployment runs out soon, and I don't have any more money to fall back on. I need the money to help put a roof over our heads, provide food, buy clothes, cub scouting supplies, pay for gas, and help with other bills. Once I am employed, I will donate anything left over back to other people in need. Thank you!

I am in need of help. I am a single mother with 3 girls. Will be foreclosed on soon and on top of that I have very high medical bills.

HI I AM THE OWNER OF A USED CAR FAMILY BUSINESS THAT ITS BEEN EATEN BY THE ECONOMIC CRISIS ALONG WITH OTHER FACTORS LIKE THE VIOLENCE ACROSS THE BORDER (MEXICO) I AM LOOKING FOR SOME RICH PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD OR LOTTERY WINNERS TO DONATE 100,000.00 DLLS TO HELP ME GET BACK THIS BUSINESS TO LIFE AND TO PAY DEBTS AND MAINTAIN THIS SOURCE OF INCOME FOR MY FAMILY. WE HAVE HAD THIS BUSINESS SINCE 1989 AND HAVE PUT TOO MUCH WORK INTO IT. i UNDERSTAND THAT ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLS SOUNDS TOO MUCH MONEY BUT NOT TO SOMEONE WITH A GOOD HEART AND A GOOD BANK ACCOUNT. WE ARE A BIG FAMILY AND MY FATHER WHO WAS A BREAD COOKER (PANADERO IN SPANISH) STARTED THIS BUSINESS WITH A LITTLE CAPITAL AND HOPE OF GIVING TO HIS CHILDREN A BETTER WAY OF LIFE (WE ARE 7 BROTHERS AND 2 SISTERS) AND MY MOM ALSO WORKED HARD AND HELPED HIM A LOT. I LOVE THEM SO MUCH AND NOW THEY ARE OLDER AND WE HAVE TO TAKE GOOD CARE OF THEM. I HOPE SOMEBODY GENEROUS LOOK THRU THIS BEG AND WANTS TO HELP. IN SOME WAY BUSINESS HELP OTHER PEOPLE BECAUSE YOU BUY TO OTHER BUSINESS AND MONEY CIRCULATE AND HELP THE LOCAL ECONOMY. WE REALLY NEED THE MONEY AS THE OTHER PEOPLE IN THIS SITE. PLEASE BELIEVE ME THAT I HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO IMPLORE HELP. IM 54 AND I HAVE INVESTED A GOOD CHUNK OF MY LIFE IN THIS BUSINESS AND I DONT KNOW ANOTHER JOB THAT BUY AND SALE CARS AND TRUCKS (SALVAGE VEHICLES) AND I LIKE THIS BUSINESS. i HONESTLY OFFER THAT IF I GET HELP I WILL HELP OTHER PEOPLE. I ALREADY DO IT BUT SOME EXTENT. YOU SHOULD SEE ALL THE POVERTY IN MEXICO WHEN I COME FROM MEXICO THERE ARE LOT OF PEOPLE SELLIN DIFFERENT ITEMS AT THE INTERNATIONAL BRIDGES, STREET VENDORS,ETC. IS HARD BUT THINGS IN MEXICO DO NOT GO VERY WELL, YOU KNOW.

THANK VERY MUCH FOR YOUR HELP AND GOOD LUCK TO ALL.
MUCHAS GRACIAS Y SUERTE PARA TODOS! ILOVEYOU

All the financial means that would've let my best friend/spirit sister be matron of honor at my wedding have fallen thru, in true Murphy's Law fashion. This is one of MANY snafus all draining joy from my wedding, the worst being my dad passing away. I'd forgo all the gifts on my registry if it meant my best friend could fly here for my wedding!
