I need help to keep me from going bankrupt. I am unable to acquire a job because of injuries I sustained during my deployment to Afghanistan. The army is going to pay me, but that takes a lot of time and paperwork and I am looking at six months before I begin receiving checks. I tried to do college online but had to quit because I can no longer retain new information as a result of my brain injury. I'm married with three children and often find myself running short on groceries at the end of the month. I have let go of all bills that I could (cable, internet, cell phone, etc) but I am still falling short. Any help would be greatly appreciated by myself and my family. I would use contributions to purchase clothing and food, as well as make minimum payments on monthly bills. Once I begin receiving disability I will immediately stop accepting donations, and as soon as I can afford to, I promise to donate at least what I have received in donations back to this website. Again I thank you for taking the time to read this and for having the heart to consider helping a complete stranger.

I am a veteran of Afghanistan, and I am currently attending college. A recent vehicle repair has put me behind on bills and Im not going to have enough money for rent or gas. Just wondering if I could get a hand in the neighborhood of $600-$700. It would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
My name is Sherron. I am a lesbian female who is currently a full-time student pursuing my B.A in Criminal Justice. Two months ago my partner proposed to me and what I thought was suppose to be the most beautiful day of my life is turning into a nightmare. I had to have surgery and didn't have the time off and ended up loosing my job. My partner is also a full time student and works full-time to support us. We are suppose to be getting married (AUGUST 4, 2012) and if I hadn't started the process and sent out invites I would just cancel until we can afford it. My parent were suppose to help but once they thought about me marrying a woman they quickly bagged out. My partners sister was going to help be then she was deployed to Afghanistan. Which left us stress and crying thinking maybe this is a sign. But I am a true believer that this is my soul mate and that we were brought together for greatness. I have cut back on my wedding sooooo much but still in the need of $5,000.00 I know that people can not give me all of it, but whatever anyone would help me with I will forever be thankful to you. Please help us, we are a young couple deeply in love trying to get our feet into the surface to be great advocates for this world.I thank you in advance for anything that you can give to help us.

My Fiance is in the infantry for the United States Marine Corps and is over in Afghanistan at the moment. Our wedding is May 5th 2012 and we do not have the money to afford a simple wedding. I have been trying to plan the wedding since he has left for war. I thought it would be a great and fun way to keep busy while he is away but I have found out that I am doing this all on my own. I am negative in my own a count and he is almost down to only $100. I work full time but it is only enough to get by with bills. The wedding is coming up very soon and I have yet to be able to afford his wedding band, the full amount of my dress, decorations, the invatations etc. He deserves an amazing day coming home from this deployment and I dont know how we will pay for this wedding let alone a little vacation/honeymoon together. I am feeling helpless and weddings should be fun and exciting to plan and I dont know what to do. My mother is willing to help with what she can but she has been sick for going on 12 years and has no way of income. Her teeth are rotting and falling out of her mouth because they keep denying her health benefits. She is the only one willing to help us with any dollar she has and she needs it herself. I hate to have to write this but sometimes you have to humble yourself when there is nowhere else to turn...

My name is jeffrey I am 27, served in the u.s. army infantry and completed one tour to Afghanistan. I have a four year old son and rarely get the chance to see him and have always paid my 800 a month child support. Never been late on bills nor have I ever accumulated any type of debt. I have always been there for friends and family when they hit financial tough spots. I still contribute as much as I can to help my mother out while my father is in prison. My finance has always been there to help us get by. But that is all I have been doing for a long time... Getting by. I know this is like taking a shot at the moon but I am hear to ask if anybody would help donate any funds so I can enjoy a vacation, do something special for my girl and I. One day I hope to pay it forward to somebody that deserves it :) Thank you for your time.

Hello I need help moving out of my in laws basement. My wife, myself, and three small kids currently reside in Maryland and have been staying in my father in laws basement for the past two years. We found a home near more family in Georgia and need some help moving. I have severe nerve injury and am unable to have a full time job. My wife takes care of out three children, but also suffers from severe panic attacks and doesn't leave the house.I served in the Marine Corps for six years did two tours in Afghanistan, and I do receive some assistance for my injuries, but we are currently appealing the V.A. decision to get a higher disability rating. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance

Hi everyone, I am asking for you help with donations to help my family. My story is one that involves a split family. It starts in 2006 when my ex-wife took my two children away to another city with out my knowledge. Being in the military I was not able to up and relocate to be close to them. Taking on the debt load from the past relationship and marinating a home for myself and children was the start of my struggle. Thru many lawyers and court appointments I received 8 days a month visitation due to the 3.5 hrs distance between us.
3 years pass and I was remarried. Due to the unfortunate loss of my father we came into an inheritance, we were able to balance out our debt and for once we felt some relief. Still with only 8 days a month we yet again went back to court to try and obtain more access in the summer. As with all messy divorces my ex was unwilling to budge and wanted no more than 2 non-consecutive weeks in the summer for access. Luckily for us we were granted a full month each year.
With that good news came notice to us that we were to be posted to the same city my children lived. Once we were posted to the same city the military deemed that I was to deploy to Afghanistan, with this came a lot of training and travel to complete this all while my wife was pregnant with our son. As I know being in the military not everything will go as planed, I missed the birth of my son. Once my rotation was complete we were able to make new attempts to have more access to my children (in the original agreement between my ex-wife and myself we agreed to a set amount for child support).
Once my ex-wife found out about us wanting to have the children 50/50 she asked for an increase in child support and put my two boys into hockey to try and burden us financially. Needless to say hockey is very expensive and with the increase in child support (equivalent to another mortgage) we started to sink into debt again. My wife was unable to work due to child care costs of over $780/month, legal bills thru the roof and a vindictive ex-wife making all attempts to keep me from my children.
As if that wasn’t enough, my lawyer was suspended from practice, my wife’s and my 19 month old has now been diagnosed as possibly having celiac disease.
To sum it up, we are left with $200 per paycheque to buy groceries, gas for the car and anything else that may come up which in turn we needed to rely on our credit cards. Trying to get my children 50/50 is at a stand still now because no lawyer will take us on unless we have $2000 as a retainer, we don’t qualify for legal aid due to the fact that on paper I make too much.
So this is why I have turned to asking for help, to regain financial stability, gain access to my children and try and provide for my 3 boys and remove the stress from my wife. Any help would be greatly appreciated. We thank you for taking the time to read this.

I'm currently unemployed spent five years on active duty army. I been deployed to Iraq in 08-09 then Afghanistan 10-11. I served with the 101 airborne, I'm currently serving one weekend a month with the national guard. Christmas was very depressing for my family. But I hope with a blessing from god somebody will help me and my family with anything. God bless you have a good day

Hello, first off I do have a job,thank God. But I have a grown daughter who is a veteran of Afghanistan war,who is married with 2 children and a husband. who is also military and they just dont make enough money. I help them as much as I can, But I also have a mom in a nursing home that I help as much as I can. My money just doesn't go far enough as I also still have 2 grown children at home trying to help them. Jobs are tough to find. I want to bake and sell goodies all year {not just holidays}. Its one of the things I do very well and may help me help others. I thank you, in advance, even if you just read this and think about helping me. Thank you!! Any help would be a big help! Thank you...

I am married a veteran who has sustained a traumatic brain injury in Afghanistan. My husband is currently awaiting to receive 100% VA disability, but it has taken a very long time. I am a college student maintaining a steady GPA of a 4.0, and I do my very best to move forward in order to get somewhere in my life, but this year has been an absolute nightmare for our family. I had a premature child this year which resulted in me receiving 25 units of blood transfer and a two week hospitalization. The baby was three months early, but thankfully he did make it and is now doing pretty well. I have a daughter and two other sons who are completely disabled and one is in a wheelchair. We do own our house, but we live in a little town and my husband has to drive 45 miles roundtrip daily in a v8 truck cause that is the only vehicle we have. Right now my husband is being forced to sleep in our truck in freezing weather in order to not lose his job because he will not have enough gas to get back home and to work again for the rest of the week if he does not. I have done everything I possibly can, and somehow I just can't get out of this rut so I am forced to kindly ask those of Christian hearts to please help my family. God will bless you for helping others and spreading genuine love and charity. I don't want a handout, I would rather give it to someone else, but I am at the end of my rope. The fuses in our house blew out and we won't have heat because our house has no heat except plug-in portable heaters. I really need some help. Any will be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Veteran's Lady

Didnt think id be doing this but here goes nothing. Im a soldier deployed currently in Afghanistan. Stationed overseas I havent been able to see my dad or three kids in close to 3 years. After deployment I want to go visit but the plane tickets for myself, my wife and two kids are way out of reach. Army doesnt pay much. Its roughly 2500 for all of us to fly roundtrip. I can afford some but not all. Anything will help. Thank you all.

Oh wow, where do I start; it's so painful. I need financial help like yesterday. I'm an Army veteran with 11 years active duty, 17 yrs total active service. I trained National Guard soldiers for Iraq, Bosnia, Kosovo and Afghanistan from 2004-2011 during Operation Enduring Freedom/Iraqi Freedom. I've recently fallen on hard times and I'm about to lose my home. Was in the Reserves and haven't found permanent work yet since honorable discharge from active duty back into Reserves. I have filed for bankruptcy but it hasn't been discharged yet. I'm 20% disabled from injuries while serving on active duty and I'm diabetic. My disability check isn't a lot but the Veteran's Administration is taking money out of my disability pay for medication and copay visits.

I'm still hopeful though that someone can help me save my home, I need about $13,000.00 and it is nearing foreclosure. I don't wanna lose my home just because jobs are low paying in this area. I'm unemployed and don't have permanent full time employment. This situation hurts my heart. It's hard to ask for help when I'm so used to being the strong and independent one. Please help me if you can. Even a $1.00, $5.00 will help. My car was repossessed a year ago but I got it back due to filing bankruptcy. As of 15 Oct, I have -$38.47 in my bank. When my debt is paid down, I will pay it forward and help someone in need! Thank you for your caring hearts! I'm believing in a miracle!!

P.S. I'm not somebody fake from somewhere overseas like India or Africa hustling or scamming Americans for money.

I don,t expect anything to come of this, but I was deployed to iraq in 09-10, got divorce after wife spent EVERY penny i recieved from my deployment. My mortgage was protected for a year after i got back (SCRA), but that time has run out. I currently am behind $7000 on my mortgage, have tried every loan modification, but i dont "qualify". I have been on unemployment since i got back from iraq, i did save $3000, which i was holding in case i had to file chapt 13 bankruptcy if they started forclosure, but i just had to take my truck in for a transmission rebuild, so there goes that. I am planning to volunteer to go to afghanistan this june, just for the money, but i think the bank will be able to take my house before then. I CAN make my normal monthley payment($500) but i just cant come up with the $7000 im behind. If someone is willing, I can give you the account number of my mortgage loan, and any other info you need, so I won't be directly getting any money. Thank You for your time. and sorry i let things get this bad.

I hate having to do this but i see no other way than having to ask for some help. My sister and I are trying to make it on our own but she is a college student (about to get kicked because we cant pay her tuition) working two jobs that pay very little and I am having a hard time finding a job. What little money we make goes to gas and food and thats not even enough. I finally have a job lined up but i don't start working for a few weeks yet. We just got hit with the news that our parents got kicked out of their home, along with our two younger brothers, because a meter reader came bye and refused to turn on the electricity because the wiring in the house is "unsafe" according to him and they are now living in a hotel on a teachers salary, that was just cut down to part time due to budget cuts, and my dad is unable to work due to the fact that his cancer (leukemia) just came out of remission and progressed to lymphoma. On top of all that, our rent was due today and I have to make a car payment soon or they're gonna put a hook on it and pull it away. I'm a shame of my self that I've let it come to this point when I need to beg for help. I was do pretty good on my own working full-time at a fast food restaurant and then getting deployed to Afghanistan with my reserve unit. After a year long tour, I came back and quite my job to go to school full time, but then my dad started to get sick and when i tried to find a job the recession really took its toll and every one, I mean every one was on a hiring freeze and the only job i could find was delivering newspaper in the early morning for $125.00 a week but that wasn't enough to pay my bills so thats when i started to fall behind. That was 1 year ago and i finally found a better job as an overnight stocker because i moved 1000 miles away to live with my sister in her one bedroom apartment that we cant even afford. I don't know how we are going to keep our bills payed and keep from getting evicted until i get my first check from work in about a month because i don't even start working until three weeks from now. Please Help US. GOD BLESS

I was in Afghanistan when my father died and didn't go back to see him while i was deployed. My mother and father live in Connecticut and i live in Colorado. When i left Afghanistan i had to fly back to Colorado to see my wife, my son and my other son that was born while on deployment. As soon as i got home i had to care for my family and start work agean right away being a reservist. Its been about a year and a half since he past away and im trying to raise money for a trip back to Connecticut to see were he rests in peace now. Please help me and god bless you

Well I'm a 19 year old Marine who made a mistake of buying a first car without any help. I purchased the car without thinking of other bills I have. And now I am negative in my checking. I had to do a thousand dollar down payment in order to get the car and now I am getting ready to deploy and it will be even harder to deal with this in Afghanistan. Once I get this down payment out of the way I will be on my feet again. I learned my lesson and definitely will never make this avoidable mistake ever again.

I'm currently a full time student/stay at home Mom, my husband is a 3 time Iraqi and Afghanistan Veteran who works for the department of Veterans affairs as a nurse. After years of saving and paying our bills on time and doing things "right" we bought our first home. We had three different inspections to make sure that everything was good and safe for our family. A few weeks ago my 9 month old son came down with a 103 fever a rash covering his body and an upper respiratory infection that wouldn't seem to get better. After some research I got the idea to search for mold in our house, and sure enough, I discovered that my whole basement was hiding black mold behind the wood paneling. My husband is a very handy, and we decided to take care of it ourselves. We bought the Hazmat suits and masks and bought the solution for washing the walls etc..etc.. So, long story short, when we went to clear out the closet we uncovered an unopened box of Asbestos Tile!! We opened it only to discover that it was covering the entire basement floor and enclosed back porch of our house. Needless to say, we soon realized this is out of our hands and we need to hire a professional. All of our efforts to come up with the money for this project have been dead ends, and in the meantime we can't even live in our house. We are all living in one bedroom at my Mother in Laws house, basically indefinitely until this is remediated. This is my last chance to come up with the money to make our house safe for my children. Please help us if you can.

I would appretiate help to go see my boyfriend for a week befor he deploys this feb to afghanistan for nine months. I havent seen him in a few months so his would be my last opportunity. I have been trying to find a job but they are very scarce, every little bit will help.thankyou so much.

Hi...I have always prided myself in being able to take care of my family...Some recent unfortunate circumstances have led me here...

My father was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer at the end of March and passed away early June...He left a huge amount of debt and a house in forclosure...I live in another state and when he passed I spent my savings on trips to NY to help my mother with the funersl arrangements and take care of her...During that time, my brother and I found out that our mother had been cheating on our father for over a year and using his money to help fund her boyfriends cab company...When we confronted her she basically told us she wanted nothing more to do with us and that she only acted like our mother to please our father to get his pension money..She told us we were dead to her now and she never really loved us anyway...Since then my brother has been sent to Afghanistan again and I'm left trying to recover my losses...I'm trying hard to get back to where I was financially but it's not happening fast enough...I have sold and pawned almost all of my valuables to keep gas in my car so that I'm able to work and keep food on the table for the kids...I even pawned my wedding ring which really hurts me and I'm having trouble getting it back...I have $38 in my back account until next paycheck after paying all of my utilities...

I honestly am not asking for a handout...Just a little help to get my wedding ring back and continue to keep food on the table for the kids and continue being able to get to work...I am an honest dependable hardworking mother who just needs a little help to get through the next few months...
