5k Tags

I need 5k to relocate to Arizona. I have a job, but I am living paycheck to paycheck and saving money is not even an option at this point. Every penny goes to bills. I know my financial woes are my own fault, but I need a little help to get on the right track.

I want to relocate as I have a job waiting for me in Arizona that would change my life and my families life. The company will not offer me relocation benefits because of the way the job was posted for recruiting purposes, but will hold the job for me. I just need to get there. I need to fly out, get a hotel and rental car, secure a lease on a home (want to pay 2 months up front), fly home and then move my belongings from IL to AZ.

Seems easy enough. And with assistance it could happen.

Thanks.

My name is Travis and I need a little help for my family. The hospital that I have been working for the last 11 years is expanding and as a result, they have cut my pay by about 5k a year. I'm not a doctor, and I get paid about what a teacher makes. The problem I’m having is that I would use that money to pay off the dept that would build up over time. We all have unexpected things happen in our day to day cost of living and I just cannot seem to get ahead. My wife and I are trying to raise two kids and we are breaking even because of the pay cuts. I have found extra ways to make money and I’m trying to stick to our budget, but it is never enough or steady. I'm slowly getting behind in everything.

Thanks for taking the time to care.

Save a Home so my friend & her family won't be homeless this Holiday. Help a miracle happen.

These are hard times. We know it cause we deal with it personally on a daily basis. We all do the best we can. With help from family & friends, we can get through these times.

But sometimes, we need to reach out for help. Unfortunately those organizations and charities can't handle the high demand for help - especially now when it's so close to Christmas.

I don't have much, but I can't stand by and do nothing. If there's a way to help, I will do all I can. But sometimes I can't do it alone. Even a miracle needs a little help sometimes.

I've posted information on my home page. I've posted a note on my facebook. Now I'm here, looking for some help for a good friend. Her home is in foreclosure. If they don't get the $5k to the lawyer, they'll be homeless after Christmas. I can't see how these people can be so cold.

So I'm trying to raise the money, plus a bit extra to help with bills & to pay the fees here. All I get is SSI each month, it's not much so I've been doing all I can to get help from family & friends to raise the money. Everyone is doing their best to help out.

But I know we can't succeed alone. I put up a link to PayPal & listed my PayPal email on my homepage. Why? Cause even Paypal charges fees on donations.
I want every cent raised to go to this family. So I'm doing my best to make it happen.

But I have to get the word out every way that I can, so that is why I'm here. To get out the word & hopefully help my friend and her family keep their home.

To see the page I made, go to www.viviti.me/starrweaver/donation.html

I'm trying to get up donations, any amount to help out a friend that is losing her home after Christmas. I've contacted a few places to help, I've put up a webpage on my site and I've hit the social network sites as well as online friends to help.

She needs $5k to stop the bank from foreclosing. She's a good person & I don't want her family to be homeless after the Holidays. I have to do all I can to help her, I just can't give up and do nothing.
The page I made is at www.viviti.me/starrweaver/donation.html - if you want to know more go there. She doesn't have a Paypal account, so I'm collecting all the money for her. Also try not to use donation buttons, Paypal charges a fee for donations. Use send money and gift instead, then it won't take out the fees.

Also if you have a business, you can give gifts up to $20 for the Holidays and write it off on your taxes. Also for those trying to find work, if you can't get a job, create a business. Employ yourself, it isn't difficult & making an online business is less costly. Think about it and take a good look at what hobbies, skills & talents you have. Invest in yourself, check out some sites for freelance work or even fiverr.com to see what others are doing for $5.

Think of metal scrapping, recycle & get paid at scrap yards. Dead batteries can be taken in for money too. Think out of the box - brainstorm and come up with something you can do. It's better than nothing...right?

If you go to my aidpage.com site I've listed a bunch of resources. There are others that can help give more resources too. It's a supportive and helpful site to find information.

Please help if you can, She doesn't have much time left. Any amount would be a big help.

Hi,

I'm a freelance graphic/software designer who already has a paying client with a startup also interested in my services, but I'm having trouble performing at my best because I do not have the money for a dedicated work area. There is a coworking office near my apartment that offers space for $350/month, but to work at full capacity I'd really like to buy the equipment I need for a home office, which runs between $3 and $5k. (At a minimum having a larger monitor and a desk would let me do some of the basic design work I need to do: that's $500-1k.)

Please get in touch with me at introversal@aol.com if you are interested in helping me start my fledgling freelance business with any contribution. I would be happy to pay back once I have a steady revenue stream going.

Thanks!

Hi,
Almost two years ago my wife left me and since then been in finical hardship. Left me with all the bills, mortgage on upside down house, Credit cards, I have been struggling for 2 years trying to keep up with bills. I finally had to file for Bankruptcy to try and keep up. I lost my car and had to buy a used car. After 3 months my car's engine died. Just found out to replace the engine will cost be 5k.
Please anyone out there. Any help. I just want to be able to have reliable transportation to pick up my kids and make sure they have a couple gifts under the tree for Christmas. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi im Audrey, i was laid off work and am left 5k+ in debt. my min credit card payments are $150 a month so anything at all helps. i hope to get back to work soon but till then i need some help. thanks all lots of love.

I have been in East Texas for the last near 30 years. The water company just keeps beating me to death on water bills. It use to be affordable but now it seems like its lining someones pocket with everyones money. I am retired now and have been for about a year and the social security checks just don't go far enough. If I could get a well down that would alleviate at least one of my monthly bills. I've already given up just about everything I ever worked for just to keep food on the table. My home is paid for so I am not looking at foreclosure, thank god for that. If you can see fit to help out I would be more than greatful, I would even invite you to personally join me at my table for a fresh cooked meal with the water from the new well. Its not a lot but its a lot more than I can set aside or raise on social security. God bless you and yours. Thanks.....I am sorry for not mentioning what the well guy wants to put one in but he tells me its going to run between 6k and 7.5k depending on the depth of the well, again, thanks....and if your are able to help it won't matter if its only $5 or $25 dollars, it will add up and count... thanks again.

My problem started in July 2010. I was involved in an auto accident. I rear-ended a woman, who in turn rear-ended the person in front of her. The reason it happened was that the person in front of me hit their gas and got over to an open spot in the lane to my left. This move was so fast I didn't have room to either side and I saw the reason that driver moved was the cars in front of him or her were at a dead stop. We were traveling uphill so I was unable to see past the car and I had no idea people were stopped. I had less than a second to hit my brakes. Luckily no body was injured.

Here is where the story gets ugly. My mom had paid my auto insurance but she lost her job so I started to pay the premiums. I told my insurance agent to automatically deduct the premium and I gave her my bank information. So I was under the impression I had insurance. I did not. The agent only charged me for one month's premium and never set up the automatic deduction. Great. But there seemed to be a silver lining...the two other vehicles involved in the accident drove away before the police arrived. I did not get a ticket, I was completely sober and cooperative, and the police were surprised two victims of an accident would just drive away. Both parties got all of my information, they drove away before I got theirs. At the time of the accident I wasn't worried because I thought I had insurance.
When I called my agent I was informed that my policy lapsed because I hadn't paid my monthly premium.

I was curious if the fact that both of these people drove away would take the heat off of me. The police thought this was possible, after all, how can they prove they didn't smash up their vehicles further after they drove away to get more insurance money?

It gets worse. I left my job a few years ago because I had a job all but promised to me in Denver. Obviously, I didn't get the job in Denver. Not sure why, I aced the interview. So with no steady income (I was used to making about 42k yearly) I held hope I'd land a good job and had no choice to but to survive on a credit card for food and gas. That good job never came along. I ended up working overnights as a nurse assistant in the mental health unit. I've been drowning in debt, I had to get a car from what some consider a predatory lending car lot. I lost the hospital job in April for 'misconduct' (I worked nights and someone reported that I was sleeping, I wasn't but they didn't believe me so now I don't qualify for unemployment.) So, no income to pay for that vehicle and it got repossessed. But the best part is I got a letter in January 2011 stating that I owe one of the parties involved in the accident around 5k. I don't have it. If I had the money I would write both of the drivers involved in that accident fat checks right now, but I simply do not have the resources. The letter from the state dept of transportation stated that my license would be suspended unless I came up with the money. So I called the agency, and from my conversation with the state employee it sounded like my case would be reviewed. Nope. A collection agency sent me a letter saying in total I owe nearly 35k for the two cars and my credit cards.

In February I was on my way to a friend's house and I was pulled over because my temp tags were expired. The officer ran my license and I was handcuffed and taken to jail. I have never been arrested, and my driving record is excellent. The officer even thought it was silly. Regardless, now I have a court date in early July and I have the public defender taking my case. He said I either need to pay $1000 fine, or spend a minimum of 2 days in jail. So it looks as if I will be in jail at least 2 days because I have no money. Being without a vehicle is no picnic. My job search is limited to places on a bus route close to my home in Kansas City. I have no friends or family with that kind of money. I am not a drug addict, or a criminal. My career tanked, and I've kept falling through the cracks. I stay positive and I love life, but the anxiety and absence of pride in my life are making me isolate more. I can't afford to do anything. Luckily my brother is letting me stay in a spare room at his place or I may be homeless. I am a hard worker, I have a bachelor's degree, and I am a pleasant person to work with. But I have no car, no money, horrible credit, and bleak job prospects. Please do not think I feel sorry for myself. I've made stupid decisions that got me where I am. I take responsibility for putting myself in situations where these things happened. And especially for not paying attention to my financial obligations (the insurance premium). That being said, all I can do is look forward and do the best I can to get back on my feet. At this moment I feel like a wet puppy who is trying unsuccessfully to jump out of the tub during a bath. I need help. I don't know who to turn to. I've wanted to volunteer at some places to meet people and network but without a vehicle and a suspended license I can't even volunteer at most places. Please, if anyone can help, contact me with suggestions. I desperately need to file for bankruptcy but that costs around 1,800.00 and I can't afford that.

I also have around 27k in student loan debt. That debt along with the approximately 35k in unsecured debt leaves me with a very large amount of money that I have no realistic chance of paying back. The student loans will not be affected if I file for bankruptcy. Which is fine. As a matter of pride and doing what is right I don't like that my debts can simply be written off, but that is seemingly my only option. I would love to volunteer for a charity of my debtor's choosing to start to contribute something, but that proposal often times ends up sounding like a mutated version of indentured servitude.

I apologize for the rambling. This is the first time I have ever written all of this down at once and I feel better.

Thank you for your time.

So Im desperate to get into the radio industry, and I have all the individual experience you could wish for, however none direct to radio. I have contacted many individuals involved in the industry, and basically the outcome is I need to go to college for direct training.
no problem.
Suddenly I start looking at course fees, and compare them to my bank account. BIG problem. I am not earning enough money to cover my rent etc and go to college.
Ive worked out, all i need is £2.5k. I know it sounds alot but if anyone can help I'd be forever grateful.

I have had a very hard three years. I got financially sabotaged by my mentally ill mother. This caused a ripple effect that has my finances in ruins.She withheld info that I needed for my FAFSA for almost two years and had to get a override just to go to school. She's a college student herself:( Isn't that ironic ?

So besides paying off what i can with a job that i barely make 5k a year,so I do what i can. Which means that many bills go unpaid and as a college student that pays her own way through school, good credit is very important.

I'm not asking anyone to help me pay my bills. That is my responsibility.What I am asking for is help to start over in Canada.My ultimate goal is to finish up undergrad, attend medical school and help impoverished children in Africa by providing low cost medical care to local villagers. I have a big heart and nearly invisible resources to do it.

I wouldn't ask anything of anyone else that i would already do so i have already starting putting aside money for a new financial start in an old cream wafer can. So far i have about five dollars saved up. It's not a lot, but it is a start.

Anything you can give will go a long way. Be a generous as you can afford to . The goal is 10,000. This is the amount needed to go to Canada and be able to find a place to live, eat,etc. I appreciate anything you guys can do to help me reach the goal of a fresh start, and more importantly returning the favor by helping those in need.

Hi I am a single mother of an 8 year old boy; I divorced in late 08'. I am a licensed daycare provider and have been falling behind on our house payments for the past 5-6 months. I am now behind over 5K and do not know what to do. I just received a notice from banks attorney that we have 30 days to come up with that much money or they will start proceedings. Several months ago I had started a home loan modification which was approved then denied because my ex does not live on the property and loan is in his name he just deeded the home to me in divorce. I had been able to keep up with payments until like 5 months ago or so. I owe 79K on first and 13K on second. I have kept up ok with the second. There is equity in the home. I have always been self sufficient but because of the economy things have been very slow. My ex husband owes back child support of approx. 9K when he was in jail and is only paying 50.00/month toward that because that is what family services had agreed on when he started working up in North Dakota making like 26.00/hr over a year ago. He does pay current child support as it goes thru family services otherwise his son would not see that either. He will not help us at all. He is an alcoholic and does not care if his son is out on the streets. I cannot afford an attorney to take him to court. I have also retained a bankrupcy attorney for past credit card bills. I do not like the fact that I am even on this site asking for money but have no where else to turn. My family and friends do not have that much money to help me with. Things are starting to look up for my daycare business now and would gladly pay back if someone could just help for now. It may take me six months or so to come up with the first payment to pay back but if there is anyone financially able to help us not to lose our home that would be a godsend. Our home is also my livlihood. We are just hanging on by a string. Anything would help in order to get to our goal in thirty days. Thank you and God Bless, singlemom in colorado

I'm stuck, can't afford to make my payments. In debt like everyone else is. I have a $9,500.00 loan on a bike. If I lose this, repo... then I'm sure that is the icing on the cake. My credit is ok right now, haven't been late on a payment yet.

I need help, jobs are not paying enough money to stay afoat or above my means. I was ok until I found out my wife cheated and now we are both seperated but living together because like many others also, we're stuck with what we have and barely getting by to make it work.

I'm not asking for anything more than help to pay off my bike or to make the payments ahead a few months to hopefully find a way on my own to keep paying this bike off.

I did it myself, but giving it back is a terrible option, everything from garnesishment to liens. If you feel like helping, send a donation to my paypal account. anything helps or could help. I'm in the hole $9.5k or $285 a month.

After everything is said and done, all i got left is my bike and credit now. Be nice to keep them both or at least sell the bike to someone for whats owed on it. of course no one is emailing on it or calling. Its a 2008 suzuki boulevard c90 and i haven't got one call on it.

figures though, when i see harley davidsons advertised too for around $5k right now. the world or at least the usa is hurting and all people want to do is work, but theres no paying jobs out there for grunts.

anyhow, if you want to help... please do.

thank you so much

Hello! I lost most of my income in 2007 when the mortgage industry began to tank. Since I did mortgages, I needed to find other employment. I realized I needed to be self employed in order to keep my home. I began babysitting then became a licensed daycare. I now need to play catchup. The mortgage company wants $17k to restart the mortgage again. I have 9 children and am truly getting back on my feet. UI, my electric company, is so expensive in CT. I have back bills of over $5k when I wasn't bringging in any income. And this season isn't any better. I want to keep my home. I was homeles for a while because my husband left me when I needed surgery and never came back, never sent help, nothing. Thank God there were no kids. I converted my entire first floor to the daycare. I still need backyard equipment, fence, and the basement finished for a computer lab. i'm also preparing to change my current license to accomodate more children. I'm doing all I can to keep up the pace, but I need donations to keep afloat. all donations are graciously appreciated. ALA Daycare NH, CT.,
