Thank you for taking the time to read my BegsList post. I am a single mother of two children. I do not receive any government assistance, and I am also a college student. I am ashamed to ask people I do not know for money, but I have no other way to make ends meet right now.

My rent just went up $100, and I currently pay $940 in daycare each month. I was laid off my job in February. And since then, I have been doing temp work until I find another decent job.

I just need some help to keep a roof over my children's heads. My apartments do not accept partial payments and they refuse to work with me on a payment arrangement even though I've been living here for 3 years now and have never been late on rent.

Anything you offer will be greatly appreciated, and all of it will go directly to the light company and to my rent.

Thank you for your help and your prayers.

Hello my name is Alex. I am 19 and I live on my own in a small one bedroom apartment. Recently I began my spring semester of college at a new school: scottsdale community college. In the past, my former schools gave me my grants and loans quickly, and easily within one or 2 payments days within eachother. BUT, my new college has a different payment plan, with my last payment being february 19th and the next being around match 28th. I recently lost my job and am currently searching for work. I owe 362.38 currently. Yesterday the manager of
my apartments gave me a notice stating I have 5 days to pay the remaining balance due. I only just turned 19, and I feel as if I am already beggining to fail in life...I turned to family with little help. I'm affraid to be on the streets. I am willing to work for money. Honestly i'd do almost anything!!! Please help!! Even a penny helps. Please I will be so thankful.

Hello Im a husband to a disabled wife and a father of 4 young kids. I work 3 jobs and dont get to see my family that much. We are about to lose our home, we will be evicted in 60 days. Were on waiting lists for low-income housing but the waiting list is a year plus. Rent on apartments in the area we live are about 700 a month more than we can afford. And to make things worse my mother lost her job after 22 years and has lost her house as well. She currently has no income and I have had to help her as well. I’m not sure how much more bad luck I can take. Please help my family. Thank you and god bless.

Hey all i'm a single male of 35 yrs old who is struggling big time to try and catch up my current past due rent. I work at Target making just under $8 per hour and i'm stuck in 1 Fifth Third bank payday loan and 2 other payday loans that is destroying me financially. I live in Michigan and am a tentant at Crossroads Apartments and while I have lived there for 11 years now i've fallen behind on rent constantly the past year or so. My landlady has had enough and is about to take me to court. If I can get just any kind of help at all to catch up with my rent, I can deal with rolling over my payday loans til I find a 2nd job to finally pay them off and get rid of them. Even 200 or 300 dollars will help! Anything! I'm at my wits end! :(

I honestly don't know if this will ever find anyone who may help but I'm being optimistic despite the odds. I honestly don't know how to truly explain my situation but to say that I've just been "stuck in a rut" for, let's be honest, over a decade. I don't regret my life, for I know that I've lived it the best way I knew how & with the limited resources that I had available. I also don't regret it because my experiences have made me the person that I am today. I have done everything possible to make sure that my family is safe & healthy. Ultimately, they come first! However all I can say is that I've just been wrapped up in so many unfortunate circumstances that have had many factors that were out of my control, that basically one can conclude that I'm just NOT a lucky person!

Here's some history: Basically when I started college my family lost our home due to my mother's gambling problem. This lead to my father's infidelity which ultimately lead to their divorce (which both my parents made me decide if they were to separate or not). Several months later I found myself pregnant & kicked out of both my parents apartments. During that time I still tried to keep things together by working as many shifts as I could & by going to school during the day. It was hard because I was like a nomad, moving from one friend's house to another. At times I even slept in my car. But then there came a point where my pregnancy became too complicated and I ended up living in the hospital for 2 months before my child was born at 7.5 months. Due to his pre-maturity and the many complications that ensued I decided devoted my life to taking care of him. It worked to some point, where I was able to drop my 3 jobs and obtained a stable one. I was also able to obtain a certificate from university. However, when my father died. I felt the obligation to take on the responsibility of honoring his last wishes. In a sense it aided me to find a type of closure yet in another way it had opened Pandora's box. It was not easy grieving and dealing with my father's side of the family, my mother's side & to add more, my father's girlfriend's side. The funeral, the back taxes owed by my father, my husband loosing his job & my son constantly getting sick... All expenses were on me. To add more "injury" within the span of 9 months I was in a total car wreck, I gave birth to my second child & then I was in a horseback riding accident, that almost paralyzed me. Honestly, what are the chances of going horseback riding for the first time, loosing control & getting thrown off?!

I've really tried my best to deal with things one day at a time & also do it with a smile. But now I find myself dealing with arthritis, kidney problems, crazy medical fees, no job (since the company closed), and bills now reaching almost $60,000. Even as I look at that number now, I honestly feel a sense of nausea...

The only thing I do know is that, I still have a lot in me to give and I've tried, despite it all, to give it back by going back to school to become a licensed nursing practitioner. It may sound crazy & it comes at a very inopportune time (considering that I'm drowning in debt!) but by doing this course, it helps me in so many ways. It calms me... It gives me a sense of purpose, knowing that I may alleviate a person's pain, even in the slightest, which in turn somewhat alleviates mine as well. It also gives me confidence knowing that all the teachers that I have encountered during this course say that they believe in me, in my determination & in my will power to survive & conquer.

So ultimately, I'm asking you this... For your help, to help me help others. Even if you could spare $1.00. One small step, is still a step forward for me. And like I said in the title, despite all the things that I've gone through, I'm still optimistic & I still have a little fight left in me. So please help me fight!

I never liked asking for help, but there comes a time when we all have to at some point ask for help on something. I fell on hard times recently and I was evicted from my apartment about 6 months ago. My job doesnt pay me a lot so I am struggling to keep up with my car note, cell phone, insurance, maintenance, and general daily and weekly expenses. I nearly got my car reposessed 5 months ago and I've been staying at my ex-mother in law's house and my girlfriend's place off and on so I am not sleeping in my car. Most would think you could live with your girlfriend, but she wants me there it's her grandmother who's making life hard for the both of us right now. All I think about is the kind words my girlfriend tells me and what little she can do to help me and the most selfless thing she did recently was she gave me her last $20 for lunch and gas just so I could get to work that week and deep down many days I sit in my car before work and cry because nobody has ever been that giving to sacrifice her own needs to help me out. I want to marry this woman she's been nothing, but good to me and I feel bad that I can't do anything for her because I have nothing to give her which hurts me as a man because all I want is to make a life for myself and for the woman I love very much. I want to get in school to be a mechanic since I like working on cars and want to fix them. I want to give my girlfriend a proper life with me as her husband and being able to support her the way a man should support his woman. There's no words that could really say how much going to school really means to me. Whatever you can give will truly be appreciated. I can't get any mail at my ex-in laws or my girlfriend's apartments so I have to have it sent to this address:

I am a single mother of two talented and gifted children and a student of
the ADN (Associate Degree Nursing) Program at my local community college. On
Febuary 16th, 2011, my childrens father wipped out our entire savings and
checking account and the contents of our home, then disappeared. There was
absolutely no warning of this. My children and I simply returned home from
school to an almost completely empty house.

My immediate thought was that we were victoms of a burglary. However,
shortly after the police arrived, neighbors reported something even more
disturbing. My childrens father , along with three other men in a huge
company moving truck, spent most of the early morning and mid-afternoon
moving things out of our home. Neighbors said they thought we were just
moving. They suspected no problems. Even though he had taken every household
appliance, all electronics and my childrens cellos, keyboards and computers,
there was nothing the police could do. He was indeed a resident and on the
lease.

I tried contacting him on his cell only to find it disconnected. When I
called his office, I was informed that he had been seperated from the firm
for over a month.

This was awfull and my children and I were in need of answers. To cheer us all up, I decided that we should go out to dinner and
fun. That's when I found out about the accounts.

Although there was no furniture, well, only the childrens bedroom furnitue,
we remained in our home for as long as we could. I started working part time
at a call center at night while continuing my classes in the day.

We soon had to move of course. We were evicted for non payment of rent. I
found a one bedroom appartment that I could afford. This meant moving the
children into another school district.

At the time my daughter was in seventh grade, taking highschool algebra 1,
and highschool english1. Her other classes were all AP 8th grade courses.
She was also in orchestra with her cello. The new district does not allow
7th graders to take highschool class, so she was not able to continue on her
path. Not only did we have to face the challenge of academics, we also had a
severe problem with bullies. Because I had to be at school myself, the
children had to ride the school bus daily. In a horrible neighborhood, they
were beaten often and picked on daily because of how they talked and
dresssed. Telling the school principles and the police only made matters
worse for us and our apartment. The parents live in our aparments and they
are not happy with me calling the authorities on them. I have had widows
borken out in my car, tires cut and the front door of my appartment painted
with ugly words.

I sat out of school this semester in order to escort my children safely to
and from school each day.For now, I work at a call center
m-th 8am-3pm and sat 7am-4pm.

I am trying to move my children to a neighborhood they can be safe in and a
school that is able to meet them at their academic level and they can also
be safe in. If this could happen then I could return to my nursing studies
and the children could return to a safe environment and school.

I pay 400 per month for our one bedroom we are in now. I found some
apartments in a a safer neighborhood with schools that offer orchestra and
college prep courses. ( I have not been able to pay for any private lessons
scince their father left. And their new schools do not offer orchestra. )
The one bedrooms in this particular area are 750/monthly .

I am begging for help to raise enough money to move my children into a
better neighborhood before January so that I may continue in my studies and
they can safely do the same.
I have a 7 year old boy and 13 year old daughter.
I have completed all of my support courses for my nursing. I completed my
first year last year and this summer. So, there is only one more year
nursing school that I have before I graduate. I am pleading with anyone and
everyone to please help me. Any amount will help me reach my goal.
I am asking for help to maintain a 750 per month one bedroom apartment for
12 months. January2012 to January 2013.

Any amount that you can donate will be very helpful.
Thank you for taking the time out to read about my children and I.
Thank you

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.

A friend of mine told me about Begslist and told me to post a plea for help. Hi!! My name is Linda. Three weeks ago my apartment complex in South Philly was destroyed by a 3-alarm fire. I was not home at the time when the fire started. When I came home, I stood in disbelief while my home of two years was burning. Most of all the apartments, including mine were heavily damaged. The fire marshall gave some of us only a brief amount of time to retrieve what we could carry and leave. I told the marshall where my apartment was and he told me that area was a complete loss and I could not retrieve anything. I was referred to a hotel nearby as a temporary shelter paid for by a non-profit group helping the fire victims until they set me up with a homeless shelter. I am still at that homeless shelter. Thanks to the non-profit group, I have some clothes and shoes. I have very little or no pocket money. Some of the money I had stashed away at the apartment was lost along with some valuable possessions. Although my job is part-time and pays very little, I could not afford renters or fire insurance because it interfered with the rent, utilities etc.. I have nightmares about that fire everyday. It has left me emotionally depressed. I'm asking anyone reading this posting to please donate what you can. Even if its $1, $5, $10, whatever, your help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!

I am a 39 yr old single mother with a child in college. We lived in apartments during all of her growing up, but last year I bought a house with my significant other. I never imagined that I'd have to handle the mortgage alone, or that my partner would no longer be in the picture, but that is the sad truth now. Financial aid pays for most of my daughter's tuition, and I pay the rest. I work full time, but my mortgage ($1100) is more than I can afford. I got a 2nd job at a retail store, but it will not be enough. I am embarrassed to ask people for money, but I am scared and desparate.
I do NOT want to stop working. My dream is to write children's books, and I hope that I will have the time to do that someday. I don't use drugs and I am a normal person. I donated to charities from time to time, like the March of Dimes and the ASPCA, because I believe that everyone should give, even if its a little. 3 years ago, I loaned a friend $1000 when she was down and out. But I'm in bad shape now. I will accept any amount of help. If you have additional questions, please email me at my PayPal address. Thanks for reading my post ~

so i live in jacksonfarm apartments oshkosh wisconsin its the apartments go by what you make so alot of the familys around here dont make that much and i was thinking about all the things the manager could get for us if there were people actually donateing. hopefully a better washer/dryer unit maybe because sometimes you got to run the dryed twice just for them to dry and it costs a dollar something to run them. see what i mean? so if you could donate it would be very sweet.

I am in desperate need of help for bills. I lost my job about a a year ago due to a back injury. I am trying to receive SSI because I cannot work, but so far I've received nothing but bad news from the SSI office. I have been doing little things here and there to get by, I've babysat, dog sat, pawn all my jewelry, sold my dog, sold my lawn mower, and small kitchen appliances, dropped out of college & tutored teenagers for a little extra income, I've put all my clothes I no longer fit in on craigslist along with household items I no longer use. I am in need because school has started so theres no children for me to watch, Ive ran out of stuff to sale/pawn. I've asked my family for help, but that got me no where, so I find myself here, sitting at the library looking for any kind of help I can get. I just need to get by for the next 3 months then I will be moving into low income apartments, but I'm on the waiting list right now and they gave me an estimated date of December 15th when I can move in, I am not worried about buying things for myself I am just worried about having money to pay my bills until then so I am not evicted on the streets or sitting at my home in the dark without water. I do not have cable, internet or phone, I had all that shut off so I wouldn't have more bills then needed. All I have is rent, water, and electric. My water bill is usually around $25-$35 a month, electric bill ranges from $60-$70 a month, and rent is $325 a month. So I guess I am looking at about $1300, I know that is alot to ask for but I am really desperate and I dont know where else to turn to. I am only 22 years old I shouldnt be living this way, but unfortunately I broke my back in a car accident so I dont know what else to do. If someone, anyone can please help me I will greatly appreciate it very much. Anything will help, if I can get enough money to just pay my rent & water I will greatly appreciate it, I can go without electric but I do need a place to sleep & shower, so the least little bit will help. Please? Thank you all & God bless you all.

I am currently an Entertainment Business student attending Full Sail University in Winter Park Florida. For those of you who have not heard of Full Sail, it is an accelerated learning University, with rigorous 6 day a week schedules with classes lasting up to 8 hours a day. This leaves me absolutely no time to work if I want to maintain an acceptable GPA. I am so fortunate to be at this school, however money is tight and I am in desperate need of income for my rent and expenses. The University doesn't offer dorms, and Orlando's apartments are not cheap.
Please, if you could help me I would appreciate it more than I can express.
Thank you,
Roxie
