I am 29 yrs and I never grew up to know my mum as she died immediately after my birth.My dad died 3yrs ago in Pennsylvania,I'm the only daughter of my folks.I grew up in Ambler PA. My ex-boyfriend,David Gareth was very cruel to me, he absconded with my dad's money which was kept with me after a completion of a contract in EAST Pennsylvania When My ex-boyfriend got absconded with the undisclosed sum of US dollars, this brought the first brake up between me and my dad, because he thought we had the deal together, but not knowing that I'm innocent about this. So my dad has been harsh and tough on me about this,i am too vulnerable when it comes to relationships that was why my ex boyfriends used me allot.After all these happened to me and caused by my Ex boyfriend, I joined a dating site( www.singlesnet.com) where I met a African guy online here who promised heaven and earth that he wants to marry me and to be a with me for eternity; I was so, happy that I never knew I was going from Fry-pan to Fire". The African guy told me of an investment opportunity in African and he convinced me to come along with loads of money when coming down. On getting here, all his intention was to take away the money from me, play me and leave me on my own. I came from the United States with all the money I've gotten from my Dad's business and contracts remuneration. Because the African guy told me of an idea to invest in African sculptures here. When I got here, he made all possible means to get the money from me and get away with my money.When I noticed this, I took the money and my traveling boxes and deposited it with a Security/Insurance Company here in African in order to save myself and my assets. Thereafter I left the Guy's apartment to an hotel where I am in right now and from which I am communicating to you right now. My friends warned me before i went on this journey, i actually sold everything i had back home , i thought i had a life with this African guy, since most guys back home where in for just sex and some money.I lost all my friends. That is why i wanted to know if you are not like these two guys i mentioned, i really want to be loved for who i am, but i need a caring Man that i can spend the rest of my life with....i hope it is you.Well, let me hang on here till I hear from you. I hope someone will understand all that i have said.

Hi,

(Note: You may see this same post on beggingmoney.com)

My name is Eliabe. I am an 18-year-old guy from Brazil and I need your donation because I need to move away but I can't afford it.
Let me tell you why.

I grew up being abused by my dad -- emotionally and sexually. I did not realize what was happening until recently. I still have to deal with the consequences. I became social phobic, anxious and depressed. I am still afraid, disgusted of and uncomfortable with touch and closeness, yet I am dying for it. An African therapist agreed to help me for free, so I am getting better but only very recently am I making progress.

Three, almost four, years ago (2008), my family rejected me over religious issues. I wanted to join this Sabbatarian Christian religious association (this particular sect is a minority in Brazil and honestly everywhere else but they're more present in the US and England) and my family rejected me and reproached me so severely that it radically changed my personality. They wanted to throw me away. I was only 15. I had nowhere to go. I was deeply shocked and shaken on the inside. I never knew I could feel so hurt! I had never expected such sudden rejection from them. My mom said I was a disappointment to her and that I would not stay under the same ceiling as hers if I wanted to keep my faith. My siblings made fun of me and my new beliefs. My father demonized me and said he'd take me to their religious authorities to “straighten me out.” They accused me of bringing a curse into our lives and treated me as a shame to the family ("What will others think?" they wondered). My relatives (uncles, aunts, cousins -- I have a big family) were all against me too. I did not tell my friends because they belonged to the same religion as my parents. I started isolating from everybody. I became very deeply depressed. I would sleep just not to have to be awake and suffering.

It was really overwhelming to me. I had nowhere to go, no one to turn to. The congregation was out of town. So I decided to give up on joining that group. However, I did not stop believing in them but I had to pretend to be in my parents' religion on the outside.

But then my life became a nightmare. I had bad dreams at night. I became paranoid. Every time I was outside, I would walk around the house many times before taking the courage to go in. My heart would pound every time the phone or doorbell rang or someone called my name or asked about my religion. I would feel sick and go pale every time someone initiated a conversation about religion with me. I was traumatized. I am only getting better now. I fainted many times as I got weak because my mom refused to cook clean kosher dishes for me. I can’t even begin to describe all the sacrifices and pains I had to go through not to lose my identity. I can’t, for example, go out on a date or have a serious friendship because I am hiding the most important part of myself. Try to have a relationship where you do things you can’t explain the other party. Do you think it can ever work? My friendships are all shallow because of that.

I am a recent high school graduate. I took a basic course on administrative services and telemarketing last year, paid by the government as part of a program in Brazil called “Jovem Aprendiz” (“Young Apprentice” in English). As part of that course, I am working part-time, supposedly to acquire experience in the field, though I actually work as a warehousing assistant in the company (completely unrelated to administrative services). As I only work part-time (4 hours a day), I only receive HALF the minimum wage, which means I earn about $2 per hour. Yes, I could save that money to achieve my goals. It would take over two years but it would be possible. But I can't at the moment because I have to support my parents and siblings. My brother also works and my dad has recently found a job after three years of unemployment but I still have to give them a significant part of my salary or else we will starve. Also, even if I could, I’d still be desperate because I have been suffering for almost FOUR YEARS!

So I want to move away because I want to be free to convert and live my life, have friends, a girlfriend and a normal life. I got a passport and contacts in the United States. They can help me once I am there but they can’t buy my plane tickets as they cost over $800! There are also additional costs as I need a visa. I am currently looking for a job there. There have been people who want to hire me but they stopped contacting me after learning of the costs they would have to pay.
So please help me. It is the ONLY way for me to be happy again! It doesn’t matter how much you donate. It will make a HUGE difference.

Thank you very much. God bless you!

Help! I need $3,000 so my son can walk at his graduation.
He has worked hard for this and I do not want to let him down.
He will be one of the few African Americans graduating.

I'm a final year student of an African University studying Animal Production and Heath Science. Due to the inability of my aging mother to raise enough money for my school fees in the last two years, I've been owing some amount of about $1,000. The school now require that I settle my bill in the next 4 weeks or lose my studentship (four years of hard labour). Please I need help to save my future.
For help, you can email me at rasheedafolabi@live.co.uk

Hi, this is the first time I have cyber begged and would appreciate any help that can be given to me.

I am South African but live in the United Kingdom. I would love to go and visit my parents who are still in South Africa but I am finding it hard to save the money in these economic times. My parents are in their early 70's and I feel that I should see them sooner rather than later. I would like to mention that my parents are not ill and neither am I.

The cost for flights are just slightly over £1,000 or $1,600. I am almost halfway there - saved £458 so far.

I would appreciate any help that are given to me whether it is just £0.01 or more. I promise to email anybody pictures that would like to see the reunion. I am hoping to have saved enough by November of this year.

Thank you for looking and even if you don't donate thanks for taking the time to read this.

I am an artist who has written a one woman show. I made this work to engage the church--particularly the African American Church, in a dialogue about homophobia. The work details the struggles of my best friend and brother, a black gay man, for acceptance in the religious community.

I believe the time is right for this dialogue and seek donations to mount a production of the work in my city and other cities.

Any donation would be appreciated and would go to an important work.

Thank you in advance.

We are a group of asylum seekers and 20 in number who hail from different African countries. we sought asylum in Botswana between the years 1998- to 2000.the government hosted us for more than 12 years.but in April this year the government in conjuction with the UNHCR did issue us with rejection letters clearly stating that we are nolonger a concern to them.the only aid we recieve is meagre food ration and medicare but are not allowed to work.out of the 43 cases who were rejected on nunerous occassions, the government decided to re-reject us the 20 people and granted (recognition)status to the other 23 cases.

for that matter we are requesting for financial assistance to help for legal funding as we are taking the matter to court and get legal help because we do not work. for more information please do contact us on the following email address othieno.martin@yahoo.com and for further information please do contact robert on +267-75482198

we look forward to your positive response.

I'm a young, female, African American college graduate who strongly desires to attend law school, become an attorney and support diversity initiatives within the Legal industry on the West Coast. I have little resources, as I am caring for an ill family member. I have enormous student loan debt from my undergraduate institution, but I am in relentless pursuit of even higher education because I want to set an example for inner-city youth in Los Angeles. With a legal education, I aim to become successful so that I may give back as soon as I am able. There are tons of minorities who need legitimate examples of success, and I feel a calling to be this example for my youth peers. Please donate whatever you can afford, and I will be happy to further discuss my ambitions. Know that any dollar you contribute will enrich not only my own life, but the lives of other young hopefuls and revolutionize a struggling community. Thank you for your time!

I am a junior psychology major, human development minor attending Howard University. Thus far, school has had its ups and downs. However I have been able to maintain an acceptable grade point average of 3.46 and a position on the Deans Honor Roll. I have been honored to be a part of Howard University Swahili Language Flagship program, which allowed me the opportunity to participate in a study abroad trip to Kenya and Tanzania, East Africa. I have also been a committed volunteer to the Capital Area Food Bank, and a encouraging Troop Leader for the Girl Scouts of the Nations Capital.
For as long as I can remember, I have been dedicating myself to giving back to my community. I am writing this letter in hopes that this one time the community will help me. I am a 20 year old African American woman from the inner city of Brooklyn, NY. My mother is a struggling single parent of two, living on Unemployment benefits. With the cost of living and rise in the economy, paying my tuition is impossible for her to manage now. I have tried reaching out to my father; however, instead of committing himself to my life, he preferred the street life.
This financial burden is hampering my abilities to achieve. The thought of having such an outstanding balance in all of my living expenses worries me. With no way of paying these expenses, I think about the possibility that I might have to withdraw from Howard University and go back home. It angers me to know that I am so close to accomplishing my goals and the only thing holding me back is money.
I have been applying for many scholarships, some have been beneficial others not so much. The scholarships that I have received have barely paid for my tuition each semester. Unfortunately I cannot take out a loan because I need a cosigner and my mother is the only one willing to cosign a loan for me. Unfortunately, my mother is not eligible to be a cosigner. I have exhausted all possibilities to help assist with my expenses. I have contacted many different public offices in hopes that they would be able to help with my past due rent and living expenses. However, most of the programs that are offered require the applicants to either have a child or a person over 65 years old. I have tried contacting the provost of my university to see if there is anything that I can do to get extra funding.
With that said, I am seeking sponsorship or any contributions towards my endeavors. If you are unable to contribute, but are aware of other resources that would be of interest, please contact me. I assure you that these contributions are for a good cause. It will allow me to my tenure at Howard University and further my career as a neuropsychologist. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanking You In Advance

We are a South African couple in our 60's and are in a panic because we are running out of funds; the state pension is hopelessly inadaquate and are afraid of losing the accommodation we are occupying presently. Just a small monthly donation would help in view of the difference in the currency values of our country's. Is there someone out there that is willing to assist us please.

I desperately need financial assistance to cover my debt of approx R 200 000 South African rand. My problems started after my husband has been cheating on me with someone else’s wife. By the time I found out our small business we had, had to be closed down, we lost our home and cars. This was very heartbreaking for me as this was the last thing I expected. I decided to move to another town as the hurt was too much. I now have a job as a receptionist which only pays me R 4000-00 South African rand per month. I also try to sell cake and some veggies on weekends to make extra money weather permitting. We are renting a property that cost us R3500-00 per month. Then there are the normal bills for water and electricity, food??? Petrol to work, school fees[Arrears R 9600-00], etc. My youngest is now in grade 12.Having a matric ball soon. I would like for her to finish her matric/grade 12 with pride this year. My husband eventually realized he made a mistake and asked me to forgive him and try again because I am a Christian and love my husband very much I did. But now we are struggling to make ends meet as he was not earning any income and we had to borrow here and there. I can’t afford to even buy clothes for my girl’s with cash and bought on credit, I try to cook decent meals but it is difficult without enough money. I feel sorry for my kids. My eldest daughter is 22 and is engaged to get married. I can’t even give her a proper wedding! I just want us to be a happy family again. The main priority for me is for us to be debt free and once again own a home of our own. We do have a small piece of land 315m² that was saved during the time of our troubles we stand a chance to lose this as well, we can build a home on there if we can only find the money. Aprox R 500 000-00. We do not qualify for loans or mortgages. If we could only settle our debts first. I have put my pride aside to beg! I would like to stay anonymous as my husband does not know that I am asking for money. He is already so ashamed of what he has done to us. I cannot handle our marriage failing again! Any donation will be appreciated. God bless you. Please pray for me. E-mail me at dandrisha@yahoo.com for more details if you can help. No scams please I’ve had it all
