The brakes went and I was able to get my brother to help me pay for parts and he did the labor for me for free. But the brakes didn't get better, they got worse. After some further investigation, it was discovered that someone had actually put transmission fluid in my brake fluid reservoir! The transmission fluid has eaten through my entire brake system completely and everything needs to be replaced right down to each individual valve and everything, including the new parts I had put on last week! The only thing I can save are the actual metal brake lines- but at least it's something. Just the parts alone is going to be over $1000 even with my brother doing the labor where he works. I just can't come up with the money for the parts and now I can't get to either one of my jobs and I'm really stressing out.
Please consider helping me in any way you can. I understand life isn't easy for anyone and maybe someone else needs the help more than I do right now. But I do need help. And having to even ask has been really hard too. Please consider any donation. I promise I will find a way to someday help someone else in need in return.
Thanks for your time.

My name is Jason. I am a hardworking 28 year old married man with three wonderful children 7, 4, and 1 month old, and the best wife anyone could ever ask for. When I and my wife married we were “given” my parents’ home in NY along with the mortgage as a wedding present. My wife and I have spent the last three years renovating this home, dumping every single cent we had into its improvement. We both come from broken homes and both wanted something more than what we came from, and have managed to build a loving stress free environment for our family, and in a matter of a month my “family” (brother, mother and father) have managed to crush our dream out of selfishness and this, “the world owes me something” mentality they all seem to have.
I work full time and also do side jobs on weekends to make ends meet, my wife has been out of work on disability (she will return full time in the next 3 weeks) due to the birth of our son, which should be the happiest time of our life, and yet I get to go home and see my children upset wondering why there uncle is acting the way he is, I get to see my wife cry over the fact that we have been basically reminded that even though we pay the bill and we fix this home and have made it what it never was for me growing up an actual home, that it is not ours and we should have no say over what happens.
My brother who at one time made hundreds of thousands of dollars a year an selfish heartless drug addict, who even though has never treated me or my family with any respect I have always dropped what I am doing regardless of time or place to go “save him”, and by save usually picking his drug addict ass up and making sure he gets home, or dropping what I’m doing to take him to the hospital cause he is so sick from whatever he has taken this time. Now that brother has decided to move in with us, not ask, not offer to help, but blatantly tell me and my wife, “it’s not your house , I am not asking permission to stay here”, and my parents who told me this home was a “Wedding gift” seem to agree. They feel it’s okay for a drug addict to be living among children, that it’s okay that slowly one by one pieces of my wife’s jewelry are disappearing, or that since he came has literally taken over my infant sons nursery with his disgusting belongings that I found my wife sitting on the floor of the living room trying to feed the baby because he’s asleep on the sofa passed out cold and his belonging are strewn all over the house.
My only options are to buy this home that I and my wife have built a great life in so I can say who stays and goes, or to uproot my children and move as far from these selfish disgusting people as possible.
In order to purchase this home I would need a deposit upwards of 12000 which due to me draining my accounts my sons accounts and my wife’s to “save” my brother from jail, drug dealers, etc., we have nothing left. Which has led me here, led me to the point where I feel more dependent on asking strangers for help than my own family because they can’t even help themselves? I am the little brother (youngest of four) who has always had to be the big brother, I am the one one whose entire family drops there problems in my lap as if to say deal with it. I have been the pillar supporting every single family member I have for the last 28 years, the pillar has finally cracked and can’t hold up the weight of the world anymore. I am begging on my hands and knees for help from completer strangers so I can continue to give my children the life I never had, and offer them some stability instead of having to tear them from the home they have come to love, that my wife has come to love, that I love. I want to give my children the world but my family continues to assure that won’t happen under there watch. Please I beg of you with everything I am I need help. Please don’t make us just another statistic, I found my calling and made a life for my wife and children, I have put aside pride, because they are all that matters to me. Thank You for taking the time to read this and thank you for any support or help you can provide.

in a couple of weeks i will be homeless. after becoming unemployed two years ago i was living off money which i had from cashing in my retirement account. after taking a couple of months for leisure ( i hadn't had an actual vacation, aside from a long weekend here or there, for the past 12 years) i was in the beginning phase of starting a small business. then i had a heart attack. i had surgery to place a stent in one of my arteries. it seems that i was born with a twisted artery and had been living with it all my life suffering no ill effects. according to my doctor artery walls are fairly thin and pliable when one is young, but as a person ages the walls thicken and become less pliant. when you combine these two factors with the twist of the artery, the result is a cutoff of the flow of blood to the heart. my doctor said that had i waited another day to come into the hospital, i would have died. while the surgery left me weak, it was the anti-rejection medication that i was on which was the problem. it left me so tired and weak, that after a walk to and from the local bodega just two blocks from my apartment , after i walked in the door i had to lay the bags down and sit and rest for a half hour or more, before i could put groceries away or even thinking about standing up and preparing food. quite a change from when i was biking 5 miles a day/ five days a week and lifting weights several times a week. my bank account was swiftly drained due to the cost of the hospital stay/surgery, and to the cost of medications ($130/month).
once i was off the anti-rejection meds and feeling well enough to work, i began searching for a job seeing as my hope of starting a business drained away with the money in my bank account. but unfortunately, with the economy the way it is, i have been unsuccessful in my search. i am now virtually penniless and am being evicted from my apartment. i am have sold off what few possessions i have in order to have some cash to buy the things i need for living on the streets, but the accumulated amount came to less than $100.

monetary donations via paypal are more than welcome,
i have also created a wish list at amazon.com for certain things that will be very helpful for me to have while i am homeless, but which i can not in anyway afford.

i have left comments next to each item to explain why i feel the need for it. e-giftcards from amazon would also be helpful.

I am a 39-year-old woman living in the Nashville area who has been off of work without pay for the last month. Though I am employed full-time, I have run out of paid time off and am currently on medical leave until I can have back surgery. The surgery itself is not complicated, but it would entail 3 days of a hospital stay, 2 weeks of physical therapy to assist in regaining my mobility, and 4-5 more weeks off before I can return to work. This surgery, though necessary, was unanticipated and I do not have money saved to sustain myself for another 2 months off. I do not have children, so I am ineligible for cash assistance through local government. I do not have short-term disability through my employer. I am ineligible for short-term disability through the government because my condition does not require that I am off work for 12 months, nor will it result in my death. I am also not being allowed to withdraw from my retirement for hardship reasons because, according to them, I am -only- contributing the mandatory amount. I also do not have -perfect credit- so I am unable to go out and obtain a loan for what I need. I have tried so many avenues and have hit dead ends each time. My goal is to raise $2500 to cover rent and expenses for up to three months: 2 months of actual recovery time and an additional months worth for incidentals and to give me time to return to work and have regular paychecks come in. Please help so that I can regain my ability to walk without pain and return to work. Thank you.

i have outstanding debt's with the hospital and doctors that performed a spinal surgery on me. the hospital is the nebraska spine hospital which i owe 130,000.00, and neurological surgery pc which i owe 21,000.00. i live on ssi and i do not have the ability to pay these debt's. any help that i recieve is greatly appreciated. the reason why the surgery was done is i was injured in an accident involving a drunk driver on march 9th of 2010. sad to say but i did not have health insurance. and the civil case against the drunk driver is still going to court, the differant automotive insurance companies involved do not want to pay the hospital or doctors. i use what extra fund's is left from my ssi to pay the small medical bill's. i have three children, one has moved on in life since the accident, who also depend partly apon me. my wife pay's all the household bill's from what she earns, i pay the rent and medical bill's from my ssi. if you do decide to help i put the actual names of the companies i owe and you will be able to contact them directly to arrange any help your willing to give

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! (Please click the headline above for the full story. THANK YOU!)

Hey guys,
I know that by the title, I might sound like a stereotypical student who wastes a ton of money on alcohol and didn't save anything up ready for this problem. I worked all summer in preparation for uni and managed to save a fair amount which I have been using to live on for the past few months. As that money is nearly gone, I have found rather a big issue when looking for a house for next year.

After I was given my loan from Student Finance, I found that most of that money paid off my accommodation for this year with only a very little towards my actual food and living money. My mum is a single parent since my dad died when I was 11 (Nope, I'm not going for the sympathy vote, no worries, just want you to know the full picture!) and she can barely send me money as it is and I don't like to ask her as she has to support my brother already.
I've now found out I need to put down a £360 deposit on a house that I do not have and do not know how I will get it. The money needs to be paid in May and whilst I have sent out a ton of CVs, there seems to be nothing. I'd do anything for a job but as I cannot find one and I do not want to ask my mum for even more money, I'd love it if you could donate, even just a little bit, so I do not end up homeless come September. I know it's a lot of money to ask for but anything would honestly help me out and I would thank you for every single penny.
Hope you can help :) Hana

The college I want to go to is pretty much my dream college! It’s so
awesome! It has the best Vet program in my state if not the only
program in my state. It’s most likely the only college that offers
actual vet Med and not just the per-requirements in my state. Their vet
program is what first got me interested in my sophomore year of college.
I got to looking at it and it became the school I most wanted to go to.
It just seems like a really good fit for me. I would really really love
to go here! It has everything I would need. i cannot for the life of me
find another college I would rather go to, but even if I did I would
still need to do this to raise money for my college fund because as you
all know tuition prices are rising every year and it’s getting more and
more expensive to go. I’m 22 now and would really like to get started on
my college career. I’ve been to community college with the help of a
pell grant, but that just isn’t going to cut it. I really have to go to a
university to further my career. I don’t want to be waiting around too terribly long to be
graduating college or even really getting started good. It would mean
the world to me to get to go to college sometime in the near future. My
mental health also rides on going. I’m depressed because I’m not going
and I see what others in my high school graduating class have
accomplished and well it depresses me too because I’m no where near
getting close to getting a job in my field of study. Where as they have
finished school and working in their field or is in the internship
phase. Either way I’m ready to get started on truly accomplishing my
dreams and getting a career. I do not want to end up like my parents and
grandparents and have no college degree even though I want one. I want
to do something they didn’t and what they told me to do if I could and
If I wanted too. If you click the links you can help me get closer to
this goal well dream really.

Well anyway the cost of the college is $25,000 a year, but this doesn’t
include professional costs which will be closer to $40,000 for Vet Med.
Though I’m only looking to get $25,000 for right now. I’ll just want to at least get to go for one year.

Tuition and fees for year are $8,698, Books and Supplies
would be around $1,100, Room and Board will be around $9,992, Other that
they charge will be around $5,166. I should get a pell grant, but I’m
not sure I may not but that will most likely only pay $2,000 if I’m lucky $3,000. I’ve applied to scholarships, but I don’t stand out so I’ll be lucky to even get one if that. With my luck I won’t get one. So I’ll still need a good bit.


So as you can see it will be very
expensive. I will greatly appreciate anything you donate to help me
afford to go to college. I know I most likely won’t get the amount I’m
going for, but I hope to
get most and try to keep from having to take out huge loans.

I don’t to have a huge debt coming out of college if I can help it.

Just one dollar will help.

The college I’m planning on going to is Auburn University and I have been accepted.

Hi, I'm new to this so please bear with me.....

I am a 35 year old single mother of four beautiful children aged 10, 9, 5 and 5 months. I have a spinal injury that after many tests and consultations with Dr's and Neurosurgeons is inoperable and I now have to just 'deal with the pain', which I do, without medication, as I didn't want to add another problem to my ever growing list of health related issues that stem from the issues with my spine.

I discovered just over a year ago that I have a brother and sister (twins) who are 10 years younger than me. It was a massive shock but since finding out about each other we communicate on an almost daily basis through a social networking site and on skype and it feels like we have always known about each other. My children have no-one apart from myself and my mum and to have discovered my siblings and their children has been brilliant for us all.

We desperately want to go and see my brother and sister and their families but we need to fly and to be able to do so we all need a passport, which, having worked it out, is going to be very costly.

I have managed to find someone I know who falls into several of the categories to countersign our passport application forms so I have managed to save some money there and I have, through selling some items on ebay, managed to raise the money for all the photos to be taken and for copies of all of our full birth certificates, but the actual cost of the passports is proving harder to raise the money for.

I am embarrassed and ashamed that I am having to 'beg' for help but I do not want to go down the route of having to borrow the money from a loan company as the interest rates are astronomical and as desperate as I am to meet my siblings, I do not want to do so by getting us into debt as I spent 10 years paying debts off and we now live debt free, buying only what we can afford. We live within our means, do not holiday; in fact my children have never been fortunate enough to holiday; this is something I feel very upset about as I have many happy memories from my childhood family holidays....It breaks my heart when holiday adverts are on the television.

Any help will be gratefully received, no matter how small as we are all too aware - every penny helps!!

Thank you in advance for reading.

My name is Julie and I was recently diagnosed with a rare disease called pseudotumor cerebri. This condition presents with all the symptoms of a brain tumor without an actual tumor (in other words, chronic brain swelling). My symptoms include visual bluriness, severe headaches and nerve pain down the first half of my spine. The pain is worsened by bending or straining and the condition forced me to leave my job. I don't have disability insurance, so I have applied for state disability assistance, but the process takes several months to complete. In the meantime, I am trying to raise funds to pay for my rent and utilities. Any donation would be greatly appreciated. :)

I ended up accidentally ordering two sets of two of these from amazon.com
I realized I didn' t want them, the don' t accept returns, even fully sealed in origiginal packing
So i have two sets of two, which I will happily sell for just $10 a set(and actual shipping cost), as they are just taking up space.

I got laid off the end of may 2009 and have not been able to get a job regardless of all the applications I have filled out and interviews I have gone on. I just turned 60 a few months ago so I am too young to retire. My church has cut me off from further help and friends are getting tired of helping. I am not eligable for unemployment because I was an "independent" contractor delivery driver, even though I worked for actual companies who cut me a pay check each week. I have no family left to help me so I have to turn to strangers. I am going to try and start a one woman cleaning/yard work business in january but need help to get between now and then. I need help paying january rent, utilities, car payment, etc. Any amount would do hopefully at least $300 as a one time gift from someone out there. I know the Lord would return your gift to you many times over. Please help if you can via my paypal account. Thank you. Jane

A Desperate Plea for HELP… Donations for Luxating Patella Surgery!


I have a Service Dog named FiFi who is a Medical Alert Dog.
My Service Dog has been diagnosed with an extreme case of Severe Bilateral Medical Luxating Patella, confirmed by two separate veterinarians, who consider it to be a chronic and serious medical condition. The grooves in her femurs, where the kneecaps are supposed to ride, are very shallow and have caused her kneecaps to slip out of socket to the inside of the legs. Her kneecaps cannot be manipulated back into place by hand.
She has developed the condition bilaterally, on both sides, her condition is at a Grade 5 out of 5 in both hind knees, which is the most severe, and she needs surgery ASAP on both limbs.

The Luxating Patellas are causing constant pain and discomfort, decreased energy level, tiring quickly, bony protuberances, bowlegged, crouching stance, swollen knees and joints, poor coordination, loss of balance, limited mobility, stiffness when walking, a change in posture, lack of appetite, and arthritis pain.
When she is able to walk she does so with one of her hind legs further out from her body, while the other affected limb is always being carried because it is much too painful to use. For the most part, she must balance her weight on her front legs as she walks, while holding her hindquarters off the ground, which is severely uncomfortable to say the least. She is no longer able to walk, or even stand on her left hind leg, and is not able to move it.

The recommendation is for her to have corrective surgery on both knees within 2 weeks. The surgeon advised that, if left untreated, the condition will worsen and may lead to rupture of the cruciate ligament as well as painful deformation of the leg bones as she continues to grow. The surgery involves deepening the trochlear groove and modifying the joint capsule to prevent the kneecap from slipping out. If there is significant deformation of the leg bones, they will have to be cut, realigned and pinned. She will have approximately 8 weeks of recovery time.

As you can imagine, this surgery will not be cheap. The estimated cost (at a reduced price) is approx. $1,900 to $2,000, per leg, not including pre-op lab work, post-op rechecks, X-rays, narcotic pain medicine, a custom-built Wheelchair for Toy Breeds (to help her get around), plus miscellaneous other medical supplies that she will need after surgery. The Wheelchair (as prescribed by her Veterinarian) must be ordered online and costs $249.00+ Tax + Shipping and Handling charges).

If FiFi does not get the surgery she needs she will be forced to live a life of constant pain with a permanent luxation that could develop into degenerative joint changes, bone deformities of the femur and tibia, and may not be able to walk ever again!

Any donation that you can make towards FiFi's surgery would be greatly appreciated!

FiFi is an adorable Toy Pomeranian with a Sweet and Loving Disposition; a Sparkling Personality and Magical Charm. She is very clever, well-mannered, and is unusually calm and quiet. She is one smart dog!
She has brought so much Joy and Blessing into my life; I can't ever imagine life without her! Wherever I go, FiFi brings out the best in people. I know she brings out the best in me. I have formed a special bond with FiFi. She is not only my Service Dog; she is also my Best Friend and part of my Family.

My dog is a Service Dog, and she's paid her dues. It is a lot of money, but my dog deserves it. She's only 7 years old.

If it were for me, I would not ask for help.

But it's for FiFi!

Thank you all in advance for your donations, prayers and support!!


P.S. I can provide good personal and veterinary references to testify that I am a loving and responsible pet parent. I can also provide medical documentation from FiFi’s Veterinarian to verify her diagnosis and medical condition.

Definition of Luxating Patella:

(Luxated Patellas are a congenital (present at birth) condition. The actual luxation may not be present at birth, but the structural changes which lead to luxation are present. A Luxating Patella, or Patellar Luxation, is a condition that involves the dislocation of the knee cap, where it rotates to either the inside or the outside of the leg. A Luxating Patella can result from a traumatic injury or from a birth defect, but it is primarily passed down through ancestral genes).
Grade IV. The Patella cannot be replaced manually, and the leg is carried or used in a crouching position. Extension of the stifle is virtually impossible. Tibial rotation is quite severe, resulting in a "bow legged" appearance.

dear santa,

ive been very good,

or at least i tried to be.

but this year my christmas wish

is not even for me.

my wish this year.

is for my kids, angels all three

well actually sometimes they werent,

but that between you and me.

i wish for them to have a wonderful

merry christmas day!

with an actual dinner on the table

and toys for them to play.

unfortunately, i need some help,

the cupboards and my purse are bare.

so i need either you santa, a reindeer or an elf

to show us that you care.

somebody, anybody, i dont care which

to get them at least one thing from their christmas list.

so please santa, send some help

so i wont have to cry

and i promise i'll be good next year.

or at least i'll try!!

I'm getting major surgery in the next year, but leading up to that I have a ton of doctors appointments. I just had to cancel two of them because I cannot afford to pay for the appointments and for everything else. If you could donate just $15 that would help me pay for one of my doctors appointments, and $30 for an appointment at the actual hospital. This surgery will literally save my life and it's being covered, but these doctors appointments I have to go to for the next year or I won't get the surgery.

Since I was diagnosed with breast cancer five years ago, I just haven't been able to keep all the balls in the air. One of the things that, unfortunately, fell by the wayside was that I didn't file my state and federal tax returns in a timely manner.

The government has garnished my income to the extent that I cannot even pay my bills, much less pay the legal feels to get the help I need. I was able to get started with a legal team and have learned that I don't owe any actual taxes, now that all the returns have been filed. However, the legal team is working to get $35,000 in penalties settled.

In order to pay the balance of the legal services, I need $700 a month for the next six months. If I cannot keep up the payments, they will not be able to continue to help me, and I will not be able to get the garnishments stopped.

Because of my health, it just isn't possible for me to take on any extra employment at this time. In fact, it would be better for me health-wise to work less, but I just can't do that right now.

Any help you can offer would be much appreciated.

Hello. My name is Caleb. I'm 21 years old, have severe anxiety and depression, and my only income is SSI. On march 1st of this year (2011) I moved into my first apartment ever with 2 room-mates. As strange as it may sound, one of the room-mates was my own mother(Donna), the other was her abusive ex-girlfriend(Shaw). I signed as the head of household and shaw and my mom were put downa "Household members" on the lease.

Before all 3 of us had moved into this residence the 3 of us had made an agreement that all the expenses would be split into thirds, there was one exception to this agreement however. My mother was not making enough income at the time to fully cover her third, so her ex girlfriend, shaw agreed to pay my mom's third temporarily until my mom could get a job that would supply her with enough income to do so. There were no misunderstandings, all 3 of us had understood the agreement BEFORE moving in.

That first month that we moved in, I ended up splitting HALF the expenses with shaw. This means I paid for my third PLUS half of my mom's third. Shaw had done so also... This was not what had been agreed to however. In fact, I don't know why I ever even let it slip by me. I must have not been thinking straight just because I was stressed out and desperately just wanted to get into the apartment.

The next month (April) I pointed out the mistake to both shaw and my mother, and told them that while I'm willing to let the first time slip, I wasn't willing to pay more than my share again.

The reaction shaw had wasn't good. She started making threats that if I didn't continue to pay the way I did the first month, that she would just leave, and that she just didn't give a dam. Oddly enough, my mom seemed to agree with her, and said she would leave with shaw also. Because I REALLY REALLY didn't want to get into the struggle at the time.. I just went along with it and paid for half the expenses again.. Shaw had basically said to me "So whats it gonna be, Either pay half, or we leave and you deal with the apartment on your own. We don't need to stay here. We can find somewhere else"...She said it in a very rude, obnoxious, loud tone of voice.

Eventually...May came around, and on the morning of the first day of the month I immediately brought the issue up again to mom and shaw.. and again, the same threats were made...and ALSO again...I paid half the expenses out of pressure.

In the middle of may I had found out some information that I thought would have been beneficial to me. I had found out that shaw had an arrest warrant on her for assault and battery. The reason I found this beneficial, was because of the fact that I wasn't able to take neither shaw or my mom off the lease, so If I wanted to kick shaw out. I could simply make a phone call to the police and they would take her out of there...Just as a note that I should have mentioned earlier... Shaw has a huge history of drug abuse, and violence.. and she had abused my mother a lot during there time together. That was probably how the warrant resulted.

Anyways, back on topic... In the middle of the night on may 18th, I told my mother that I wanted to speak to her in private. We went out to her car, and I told my mother that I'm completely fine with her(my mom) staying, but if shaw did not do her part, and pay the extra third like she agreed to when she moved in, I was gonna have her(shaw) removed from the residence.

My mom immediately went into a panic... She rushed back into the house to tell shaw everything that I had just told her... I went back into the house also... Later that night, they packed up most of there things (They didn't have much there) and bolted off...never returning...leaving me with ALL the expenses.

Remember, I only get SSI for income. To be more specific, $704.00 per month. The rent was 730.00, let alone other bills such as electricity, gas, and my own personal bills such as my cellphone, etc. There was no way I could pay the rent.

So as time went on... all the eviction stuff happened. I got the 14 day notice to pay rent or quit, then the letter with their intention to take me to court, then the actual offical court letter with the court date on it. On the court document..only my name was listed as a tenant..as if my mother and shaw were not on the lease, even though they were. All the blame was put onto me by these selfish real estate property owners.

ONLY I was taken to court. And from there I was told that they would give me 14 days to find another place and then after that if I was not gone a sheriff would come to the residence to physically remove me and all my belongings...

I rushed to find a place to stay...it was very difficult and distressing, but fortunately one of my friends has been willing to let me stay with them...I had to pay somebody $40.00 just to help me move my stuff to a storage facility.....

As the current situation stands... I am homeless. Still trying very hard to get a place, but cannot find a place that I can afford with my income. There have been some studio apartments for around $500.00 per month, but most of them require first, second, and last months rent to move in...

This is not the first time in my life that my mom has betrayed me.. She had left me, my brother, and my dad when I was six years old too.. She was not a part of raising me for most of my life. Then I decided I want to disregard the past,and get to know her for the person she is now, and let her redeem herself. This is what she did with that opportunity.

It was stressful and agonizing to even type all this up...because there are so many details involved... and my mind is tired..I'm very stressed physically and mentally.

I really need help. My money is just being drained and leeched from me. And staying at my friend's house has been very uncomfortable. I cannot do it much longer

ANY AMOUNT that you can donate I will be HIGHLY grateful and appreciative of. Even if everybody would just donate 1 dollar! A dollar bill in huge numbers is a lot of money.

Please.. 50 cents, $1, $5 , $10, or $20....Whatever amount you want.... Just please help. Its all I ask....I'm very stressed...

Whatever you can give is appreciated...and helps me greatly...

Thank you all very much... and god bless whoever is reading this.

I just recently graduated from dental hygiene school and am still waiting for the state to issue my license so I can start working. It has so far taken a month and they just informed me this week that they lost an important form from my application so it is going to take even longer for my license to be issued. I've looked for temp work in the meantime but it's still not enough to pay the bills.

They don't really tell you how expensive dental hygiene school is before you start. It is very difficult to get in, and even though I wasn't financially ready to go back to school, I had to jump on the chance when I got accepted. I received financial aid and student loans, which covered my tuition and other expenses while in school. There are many other expenses that aren't part of the actual "education" such as taking board exams to get your state license which cost me over $3000 in the last 6 months. Since my loans did not cover this, I had to rely on credit cards and a supplemental loan to pay for these exams. Luckily for me, I passed the exams because if you fail one you have to pay again to take them!

Since I've been out of school for a month, obviously the student loan checks have stopped coming to me and I'm pretty much out of options. My family has done what they can to help, but they all have bills of their own too. I'm now 3 months behind on my electric, 2 months behind on water, and have just fallen behind on my credit card bills, and this morning I found out that my bank account has overdrafted. I just barely made rent this month and haven't a clue how I'm going to come up with it again at the beginning of August. I am hoping that I'll be able to find some work if my license is issued in the next week but even then I won't receive a paycheck for a couple of weeks.

I'm not really expecting anything from posting here, but it does make me feel a little better getting that all off my chest. Thank you for reading, and if you can manage to help in any way I would be forever grateful.

My wedding is coming up in 2 months and I was just laid off from my position a couple of weeks ago. I'm getting a whole $91 dollars for Unemployment, which I'm trying to stretch just to pay for food and gas to job search.

It seems like there is nothing out there right now and I have no idea how I'm going to be able to pay for the other half of the deposits that I committed to when I was still working. I'm selling everything that I can to try and make things work, but my family has invested everything they could into the wedding already and I don't want them to be out the money because I couldn't cover my portion. I'm the only child and the only one in our close relatives who will actually be having a wedding, and the same goes for my wonderful (though also struggling) fiancee... so it's a big thing for our families.

Other than a back injury that prevents me from doing certain kinds of general physical labor, I promise that I am applying and trying for anything I can get. I would really appreciate any little bit of help that comes along. If you've been in a stressful situation like this where everyone is counting on you to make something work, and if you don't you'll be letting so many people down, then give me a hand and I'll pass it along to someone else when I'm in a situation where I can. (Hopefully when I'm done with school and can qualify for an actual career instead of a potentially unstable job!)

Thank you!!! ^_^

I know, all of us have. But you know that sinking, desperate feeling when you realize it? Well, as they say, hindsight is 20/20...

I'm a 37 year old mother of 2. I left my husband a few months ago due to his inability to put family first. He was spending all of our money to support his addiction to pain pills. Long story shorter, when the kids and I moved out, he said it was a huge wake-up call for him and that he realized how badly he had messed up. He got off the pills (or at least quit buying other than his actual monthly prescription from his doctor) and told me how sorry he was and how much he wanted help and to change.

Given that we have been married almost 9 years, I thought I owed our relationship another chance - without the influence of his habit or having to constantly worry about how we would get by. A little over a month and a half ago I allowed him to move into my house. Since that time, things have steadily regressed. I have caught him in lies a few times about money, and am now facing losing my car because he used my payment for himself instead of taking it to the car lot. I also found out that he is once again letting pain pills rule his life.

I've had enough! However, I'm stuck relying on him to help with the bills right now until I start my new job in mid-July (I was laid-off this month from the job I had).

I want to do the right thing for my children and for myself. I don't only blame my husband - I blame myself as well for allowing things to get to be the way they are. I don't intend to wallow in self-pity though. I want him out, and I plan to make a better life for me and my kids. I just need a little help getting there...

Any money that I receive will go to pay my rent and utilities, and to buy groceries. I am taking classes and will be licensed soon as an insurance agent. I am not one to sit around and just rely on others to pay my way, I just need help getting through a rough patch.

It is my sincere hope that I will be able to help others in need as well. I truly believe in paying it forward. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and for any amount that you are able to donate. May God bless you and yours.

Our electric bill is $589 which has to be paid by the end of the month. It would not have been this high but two week ago my ignition went in my Chevy Malibu and the repair was almost $400 plus I had to shell out an additional $150 for a rental so I could go back and forth to work.

Here is what happened. We were on budget billing where we paid a set amount-based on an average of the payments we make through the year. Every few months NYSEG checks things over and if the actual amounts are lower that what we pay, we get the surplus. Then, if the actual amounts are more we have to pay the difference. This is what happened to us. Since we had to pay to get the car fixed, we were behind in the electric payment. I did, pay the $250 a week ago. But NYSEG canceled our budget billing account.

If we don't pay the $589, then it will get shut off. However, if we get it paid off, we can get back on the budget billing plan. I plan to have NYSEG automatically take the money right out of my checking account each month. That way we don't have to worry about a missed payment. I already talked this over with my husband. I already have my car insurance taken out the third week of the month. So NYSEG would take their payment in the last week of the month. I am planning to do this with our cable bill. That leaves me with one week of the month for my car payment. My husband would be responsible for the mortgage. That will leave us with plenty of money to save for emergencies-such as future car repairs.

Before I can even start this, I am going to need the $589 by the 31 of May. While we can pay this, it will put us behind on the cable bill and the mortgage. And I don't want that to happen.

I am including my paypal below if you want to make a cash donation-59 people paying $10 will get this paid off.

But you don't have to make a cash donation. Many people just cannot afford to do so. Plus many people feel uncomfortable giving money to a complete stranger. But you can help out by clicking the link below:

This site pays me whenever somebody reads on of my articles-I do some free lance writing on a variety of topics, such as business, health and wellness and sports. I also write some fiction.

If I get 3,000 people to read (or skim) each of my articles, I will have more than enough money for the electric bill.

As the name says this is the blog where I am putting my short stories and poems. I am planning to have another blog for my novels. I have two fantasy novels that i want to share. I don't understand how google does the payments for blogspot, but I am sure that if 3,000 people read my stories and poems, I would at least get something. Even if I don't make money with blogspot, this is my thank you gift for helping me out.
