help with vet bill

Posted by drivindaisy on 2012-05-20 10:58:40

My little dog recently suffered with vertigo, i took him to our local vet & they flushed out his ears but while they were doing it discovered a tumour in his ear canal. He was referred to a specialist to have m.r.i scan & inner ear removal.The specialist vets also advised us to have his larynx operated on at the same time, so we took their advice. The ear operation went well but throat op caused problems & now our fit little dog has been left with a nasty cough for life that needs to be controlled with medication. We expected the pet insurance we had to pay for the treatment but as the tumour turned out to be a polyp he is not covered as he was prescribed ear drops for an infection 3 yrs ago.So now i have put a £6000 vet bill on my credit card that i am struggling to pay off. Any help would be greatly apprieciated Thank you

Hard working, 26 years old and pregnant

Posted by ChatonLea on 2012-05-20 01:58:51

My fiancé and I both got laid off the same week. We are both very hard workers. We were living off very little, but managed to save some money. After a month worth of bills, it's almost gone. We have been searching day and night for jobs and applying everywhere. Nobody is calling us back. We have enough money for utilities, but won't be able to make rent which is due in two weeks. We just got a new little car 2 months ago since our old one broke thinking we were going to be stable enough. We don't have money for that $400 payment either. Our wedding was supposed to be last week, which we had to cancel due to money issues. We just found out we are expecting. Which is the only positive thing so far, but we are going to need money for it also. We have sold most of our clothes and furniture. Both our families are struggling with money at the time so we are on our own.
If we don't get money soon, we will be car-less and homeless and our credit we worked so hard for will be ruined. Homeless and pregnant. I don't know where to turn. Any thing will be very appreciated, be it money or even just advice. We want to give our baby a good stable life, I'm so scared, please help :(

In a early life crisis

Posted by livelearnlove on 2012-05-17 17:58:57

Basically I need help with my rent. My daughters father use to abuse me and finally I did something about it. The reason I ddnt do anything about it is because I knew I would be in this situation. I did not depend on him until I couldnt work for maternity reasons as well as wanting to care for my daughter in her first moments of life. Now I am back working, I dont have enough money or time for my baby. However this leaves me short for rent and basically everything else but I cant lose our roof. I have nowhere else to go. I also figure it'll cost me more by getting evicted, losing my security deposit and starting over(for new apt).I can handle going without everything else, I could also handle going without this apartment if it was just me but its not. This brings me to the "begging" part...so I basically I would well my daughter and I would really appriciate anything at this point, even if its just advice on where else to go(trust ive been everywhere except stripping)as far where I could get immediate help.
If it matters I am 24 with no family except my 14month daughter all I want to do is live a good happy life at this point. I just got my mid life crisis early. I never thought in a million years I would be a domestic violence victim with a child(my daughter at that)involved, then in a situation like this...basically could be homeless in a matter of days, but working my behind off and still not making enough, never.....never would I or knew how to prepare for this, its jus all crazy.So again we would both appriciate anything.

change of life

Posted by medit8 on 2012-04-28 08:58:31

Hi,
Many thanks for reading my post. Many thanks for being a person who cares for others and gives. I am not sure how to describe my situation. I have been struggling to find work in the last two years and have had a couple of sporadic jobs. I have not been able to keep or grow these small jobs into something stable.

Even though the economy is weak I feel that I am the reason this has not worked out. I am a quiet spiritual person who is devoted to living my life honestly, kindly and compassionatly. My true north is spiritual and I have been trying to fit into a western material lifestyle to support my spiritual growth.

Deep inside that is where my focus is all of time. This is what I am drawn too and I practice and use everything in my life for spiritual growth. I have been thinking of spending a year meditating. I have thoughts of either ordaining or being a spiritual teacher. I would love to share the spiritual life for free to others who would like more peace in their lives.

What would help me in this process is a financial support to be able to meditate and practice for a year in India, and any advice form someone who has done something similar. I am a 49 year old female, in good health, and I have been a sincere aspirant since 2001.

Thanks for this site and for the visitors who help.

After losing my job in October of 2009, I am now losing my home in June of 2012. I need a place to rent in a safe area in the Detroit Metro Area. I have been offered a couple of places but would be about $200 short a month. I am so afraid of becoming homeless and so very sad about having to lose my cat that I have had for 8 years. Can anyone offer advice or help. I am willing to work or trade for some help.

Loving married couple need help to pay for IVF

Posted by sarahwease on 2012-04-21 16:58:55

My husband and i have been married 7 years, both work full time but bought a house (when i say bought, i mean got an interest only mortgage on a rubbish deal tied in for 5 year)that was 3 years ago and we pay our way but thats all we can afford to do, we try to save but what pity little we manage to put back is always needed for something, most recently the dentist, needed antibiotics 3 times, £7.50 each time because we work,£17.50 just for the dentist to see me and thats the NHS dentist. Sorry for going on, our problem is that we desperatly want a baby together, we have been through every test the docs wanted and the end result was unexplained infertility and as weve been trying for 7 years he gave us a 1% chance of conceiving naturally , usually the NHS would offer 3 attempts at IVF but because my husband has a son (hes 16 now) who i love and have been lucky enough to have in my life, we are not eligible and will have to pay approx £5000 for 1 attempt at IVF.Obviously if anyone by some mirracle was able to help i would get and provide with receipts or a statement of how much it costs. i havent got a bit of paper with the price on but ill sharp get one and show you. I hate doing this,begging, it's against everything i stand for bar one thing and i would give my life just for the oppportunity. My husband is 43 which to the docs is no issue but im 28, 29 this year so the clock is ticking. ivf is only offered under 36 years for woman.Any help even just advice, we'd be most grateful,please and thank you.

Powerful Money Spells/5.00

Posted by pennymiller67 on 2012-03-26 00:58:39

Hi. My wiccan name is Celestial Dream. My website is http://danublessings.blogspot.com/

I am very good at what I do. I practice Powerful Magic.

I practicing solitary wicca five years ago.

I am also a psychic dreamer. Psychic and spiritual gifts ablilties have run in my family for years.

Today, the practitioners of the Wiccan faith carry on the rituals of Pagan Irish history and mythology. Nature worship and the divinity of the Goddess (as opposed to a patriarchal male God) are the fundamentals of Wicca, which focuses on incantations and rituals to honor the Goddess, the great outdoors, and the spirit world.

I've learned how to cast powerful spells of love, money, and much more.

I've helped family and friends for years when they've need a spiritual understanding and resolution to life's problems. I've given gifts of everyday jewelry that I've charged with a spell and they've had very good results.

Casting a spell is ceremonial.

Mystical objects and positives energies can be charged to an object. Charming items is to place a spell on them that carries out a particular purpose when in someone's possession. I've helped many people and they've been happy with the results.
After you purchase one of my spells send me your name and anything you would like me to know about your situation.
Please leave feedback after I start your spell. If it doesn't take at first I will gladly recast for you. Blessed Be!



Email from a happy customer.
Dear danublessings,Hello,I hope you are well, I wanted to update you that I just won $50 on a scratch off ticket. I hope the money continues to come. And thank you so much for everything, checking on the status and more importantly for the recast. I will continue to update.- barthmmm

Steven: An Aspiring Disabled, Student, Veteran, and Divorcee

Hi.

Thanks for taking the time to read my request. I'm 30 years old, still in college and living with my parents. I've made a lot of great accomplishments in my life with far less support than most people who make it this far. Of course, with that said I've also made plenty of mistakes.

I grew up with a single parent, and another parent who visited annually just to stir up emotions and make my life miserable. When I was 18, I decided to work really hard to lose weight so that I could join the US Air Force. I had a strict plan that I was going to follow to succeed in life.

Unfortunately my superiors in the USAF would not accommodate that plan to independence as they forced me to find my own way from the barracks to work (a 40 mi drive), so I had to immediately struggle to get my drivers licence and I had to buy a car on an Airman's paygrade.

My income wasn't enough to afford the car and gas and other living needs that I was expected to pay, so eventually I had to leave the Air Force before my term was up (under honorable conditions). I tried to work as a civilian. The transfer was tough and I was vastly uninformed about what to do and what my options were. I'm the first first generation college student of my extended family.

After some petty jobs that would each take more than 10 years to be able to earn enough to live independently, I finally found a nice nighttime custodian job that was at least simple enough for that kind of pay. I was the night time custodian, but I was also a guy to have on call at this retirement home where I worked. If people's toilets flooded or a nearly deaf resident left their tv on past quiet hours (once I could hear one through 3 floors!) I was the guy to send up to fix it.

Having my first satisfying job as a civilian, I was able to investigate community college during the day, so eventually I enrolled and tried taking a few classes while working full-time. College was my saving grace. I never felt like I belonged anywhere until I first started to take college courses in math, science, and philosophy. I found the tutoring lounge on campus, made a lot of friends there, and I spent many hours cramming and helping those in need.

This soon led to me finding financial aid, making arrangements with my parents (my mom and my stepfather) to let me go to school full-time while I lived with them, and putting in my 2 weeks notice at work to focus exclusively on school.

My counselors advised that I pick where I want to transfer to and then figure out the details of how to get there after I got accepted. I think this was bad advice. While I ended up choosing to transfer to a university that had my desired major, Biophysics, it was 60 miles away from where my parents lived. My car that I had bought when I was in the Air Force also eventually broke down from not being able to afford maintenance while I worked, and was towed away for being in the public street for too long.

Finally, I got accepted to UC San Diego to work towards a degree in Physics with a specialty in Biophysics. When it came time to transfer, I got as involved as I could on how and when I was supposed to receive the financial aid so that I could go get an apartment and everything, and my school kept telling me, "you should get it tomorrow" until about 2 weeks into my first quarter when I finally got the support.

Despite this rocky start, I managed to get into a good shape for myself, making my way slowly but surely through school. Learning a great deal. Eventually when I felt the struggle was too difficult, I changed my major to Neuroscience before I began my upper division coursework.

So, as I settled into my schooling and struggled with maintaining financial independence on financial aid, I managed to get myself into maintaining a great aquarium hobby, owned two great little kittens from a street cat program, led as president of a student organization for one year, and eventually I got married. I also carefully learned about the stock market and managed to make some great gains with money that I had invested from financial aid savings.

In 2010, my gains were over 100%. That amounted to $2000 doubling itself, but still, that says a lot about me as a trader. However, 6 months into my marriage, she said she wanted out, grabbed the car that we both paid into (most of the money was mine from stocks; $5500 worth), and refused to pay her share of 2 months rent. That happened in December of the year of 2010.

2011 was a difficult year for me. I fought hard to maintain things, especially my head, but it was tough. I lost 45 lbs from exercising regularly, made lots of new friends, and I got some volunteer work experience in a Neuroscience lab. But I just couldn't focus well enough to maintain my finances and my grades, so I had to drop out and live back with my parents.

Despite how tough it's been, not finding work, struggling with the ins and outs of the VA, and just needing a professional therapist to talk to and help me keep my head straight but never being able to get one, I've managed to recuperate well enough and learn a lot more about this bottom floor of society that I've been so desperately trying to escape my whole life.

I've gone looking for opportunity in every direction. I've tried changing my career goals, collecting recyclables, writing online, trying any online scheme that didn't include me forking out money to get it, imagining what I could write as a novel, tried to make money through playing video games, making goal after goal after goal for myself, but still just not being able to get just the right amount of money to put me back on my feet.

I'll be going back to school in April at the risk of having to do it as a homeless person if the VA doesn't pull through for me. They recently approved my 10% service connected disability status and now I need to jump over a few more hurdles to get my more significant service connected disabilities recognized. I'm also seeing what the vocational rehab people can do for me despite the bureaucratic issues that are stopping them from helping me all the way.

BTW, this whole time that I've gone through life with common lower class difficulties, I've been disabled with a number of small conditions that all add up to a hard time. I have lower back issues that the military has yet to own up to. Community college found also that I have a learning disability which makes some intellectual tasks show up as lower than average ability for me while the rest of my intellect is high enough to expect that I could easily get a Masters Degree or a PhD. My biggest difficulty in school is that they don't give me enough time to show them what I know or what I'm capable of.

From working with special needs students as a tutor, I have proven to myself that there is a major problem in the education system. Most teachers never simplify the material into a clear picture of what they want to teach. If you want someone to learn something, the last thing you should be fuzzy on is what it is exactly that you want them to learn. We can't all work like intuitive Jedi or sophisticated parrots.

If you help me out, here is a list of the priorities of what your money will go towards, in order of their priority If you would like to request that I spend your donation on a specific cause, please let me know:

1. A working cheap economic vehicle.
I need something that I can sleep in and that will take me wherever I need to go. Preferably something that can stow quite a few recyclables as well to pay for gas, but not an SUV or truck or van (Unless that's all that is cheap of course. Not likely but you never know.).
I'll aim for great gas mileage, but I'm thinking that I should attend some police car auctions to see what the cheapest deal I can find is. This car would make a great shelter for me while I return to my far away school.

2. Investing on the stock market.
Trust me, I know how to fish. If you want to send me a request for proof I'd be glad to compose some evidence of my finest moments as well as my worst to show you that I can do well for myself on the stock market, even during the recession. What I could really use right now, is a little bait. Trading is good money for me, but to make enough to make gains worth more than the commission cost (about $10), you need about $300-1000 per investment. $300 is more for the high risk lottery plays on the market. I even made a blog about it if you would like to see:

If you are willing, we can arrange something personal so that you wont need to worry about me putting the money you offer at high risk and blow it all. Might even be able to arrange something where I could make money for you to prove myself before accepting your donation. Whatever the case, I know we'd have to make it a personal arrangement to satisfy the current laws.

3. Working towards paying my debts to my friends.
My friends have been really supportive through these hard times, though they are starving students themselves. To keep up my morale they've bought me food, given me a place to crash when they could, and even paid to have me join them at fun local events. I have some money that I've promised them back, and I plan on making due on those promises as soon as possible.

4. Paying off my debts with companies.
I've had times where I couldn't afford to pay for rent and had to leave, like when my wife left me to live with her parents. These issues follow me on my credit score and I would like to work towards removing them so that I can turn my life around.

5. Getting a good start towards paying off my student loans.
I know I won't be able to pay them off before I find a good career with my degree. I would just like to have something to start making some automatic payments with and put that part of my bad credit score behind me as well.

6. Buying a home.
My mom never owned a home. No offense meant to land lords out there, but I really think the rental system is way out of line. My mom was always a hard worker. Way better than me, yet she could never own a home because she didn't have the money. Meanwhile, people with money could live in great big houses for less than she even had to pay.
I want a house to own. Probably start with a condo and seek ways to improve it and flip a profit out of it. Then I want to keep building up money from housing until I can manage to build an apartment building.
If I could, I'd like to make an apartment building near a university that offers cheap housing using the Japanese capsule model or something even more economic and more comfortable.

7. Making an online tutoring site meant to offer free tutoring and tutoring for tips. Imagine a site (I have yet to know of one) where people can collect their resources on a class, much like they collect info on ratemyprofessor.com, but also seek help from others who are taking the class or who have taken the class. Donors like you can offer money to tutors who post their notes and stories on the site, alongside ratings from other students that they helped.
Some tutors can offer their rates for help, sell their notes online for cheap, or just offer their help whenever they can and ask to be tipped through paypal if someone likes their work. My hope is that such a site could help to put an end to sophistry in the college system once and for all, making education easy and affordable for everyone.

8. After I have everything I'm hoping for above, the sky is the limit. But I would prefer to put the extra money that I don't need to good uses. I would spread a little philanthropy around, give to others in need on this site and through other resources.
I'd also look to teach others how to fish. I think a great way for the economy to be fixed would be if philanthropists made some really good employee owned companies. Make the place pay for itself, skim a little off the top, and walk away knowing that you really were a job creator.
I think that everyone who is capable of work and who chooses to work deserves to have their own independent living situation. I know that we are a long way from that, but I tend to be an optimist. I would like to try and make the world a better place, if nothing else.

Aside form financial help, I'm interested in anything else that I could get that's useful. Advice, Neuroscience Career connections, work, hobby or volunteer work that can easily become lucrative, I'm really all ears. Thanks again for taking the time to read my request. I hope you find it in you to help me out, even get to know me if you'd like. Bet you $5000 I can make you laugh. Did I win? >;) it was worth a try anyway.

yound and struggling with debt :(

due to the recent recession i recently lost my job for the company that i had worked for since i was 16, i am now 23. As a result lately i have been inbetween low paid factory jobs. Watching payday loan adverts on the tellyy i became very drawn and and i am now in about £800 debt. With earning such low wages i am only able to defer the loans each month. Endless sleepless nights worrying about how to get rid of them are tiring me out. I have tried for small debt consolidation loans but always get refused and the local citizens advice was no help at all. If you could help a tiny bit n it all adds up im hoping I can get rid of these awful loans. My family have no money to help and I am working all the hours i can. God bless you all xxx

I am a self funded 51 yr old retired woman.If anyone out there needs advice and mentoring on how to help themselves, I would be willing to help. I will not give you money, as that is not a solution. I will show you that life does not need to be this difficult. My husband and I raised 4 kids, and never earned a high income. How much you make is irrelevent. It is how you look after it.
There is no reason to spend more than $100 month per person on groceries.
If you want ongoing advice on how YOU can turn this around, email me.
My email address is kathryn_dayle@hotmail.com

I do not need to know your name, address or phone number. We will only correspnd via emails.
