I don't really know where to start without it sounding somewhat chat show like. I have no family as such none of whom actually talk with me. My grandparents pretty much raised me. My mother and both brothers left at a young age. Dad was an alcoholic due to his own loss and dealing with his own personal issues..a good man betrayed I guess. Either way I ended up living in hostels from the age of 12.. friends floors etc met a guy fell in''love'' or so I thought he was a drinker also I ended up pregnant alone and had a beautiful child who's now 10. I lost my world yet gained my own new world like we all do. Its been tough. Anyway I've had severe eating disorders from being a child which has been undealt with I need help' I'm in severe debts I'm struggling like crazy and my whole world is collapsing. I have noone. We are getting evicted in june we have food parcels kindly offered to us by the salvation army but we can't have anymore they've stopped all of our benefits which is going to an appeal also at the end of june. I can't get any kind of loan. And I cannot work due to mental health and very bad scholiosis. My son has been my rock throughout all of this I'm not a parasite on the community nor do I wish to be one I just need someone to offer me the opportunity to start laying down some kind of solid foundation to help become the person we all deserve to be. Please consider taking my hand for guidence? +e appreciate you taking you time to read this plea and also kindly wish any good karma from this back towards you good people or person three fold xxx

I'm a single mother aged 35. I've lived in California for almost 14 years ( it will be 15 this year on memorial day weekend.)
I’m going to be a little blunt, because I'm tired and I want to give up so bad, but I can't. I'm better than that and my kids are my motivator. I wake up everyday and remind myself of 2 things :1) Faith is what you have when you all your beliefs are blown to hell. 2) What doesn't kill you makes you stronger -Nietzsche

I am a 35 year old educated, ambitious, head strong woman. I have owned my own business with my soon to be ex. I know what hard work and determination are. I went to private school and I am educated. I value my community and have always given back and will continue to do so. I also know that I have the drive and determination to get myself back on track. I'm not ASKING for a handout, I'm asking for help up! I also know what loss is. I don't have the business, a house or EVEN the car anymore. We lost everything. He bounced back , I didn’t. All I have is HOPE, that someone or some program can help me carve a path back to self sufficiency.
It's gone continually downhill.I am amazed at the allotment of programs for both housing and employment for all different walks of life. However, what about those that are just struggling. No hang ups, no record, just struggling and are LOW INCOME. I'm not writing this to make you feel sorry, I'm writing this because I have exhausted possibilities that I have researched both on my own or been given the information to do the work with.
There are people who struggle everyday through no fault of their own. They don't want a hand out, but help up would be a relief. Society doesn't need band-aids they need solutions.
Not every county, city or state program fits everyone's needs.
First of all Section 8 has been closed since BEFORE I left my marriage so that idea could never work. The list has been closed for years. Because I have limited time with my children, I do not qualify for CALWORKS. I have tried getting assistance in every way possible. I had very little unemployment left since I have been struggling to find work. I was delayed for about 3 months because they needed verification and I had to appeal and request a hearing. I have won my appeal but will only receive $91/week and for a short period of time.
I took a project management class through WIA in 2011, and I was able to get CTB benefits. I NEED HELP. I have hit the absolute worst point in my life and still refuse to give up. I have been looking for work and am now HOMELESS.I am in week 3 of staying in an extended stay hotel (paid for by my mother back east, who makes maybe $26,000/yr in PA) I recently sold my car because I needed to pay bills and rent. I have maybe $75 to my name.
The fact that they say there are services for low income/ homeless is frustrating. I say this because there is no category for me. I'm not a drug addict or in recovery. I don't have a mental illness. I wasn't in prison, I don’t' even have a RECORD. I can proudly say I've never been arrested or even in the back of a cop car. I'm not a victim of domestic violence and I do not beat my kids. Why aren't there programs in place for single parents struggling to make it? Everyday people that are responsible and respectable. I understand the need to assist those that may not have the capacity to take care of themselves. However, I have a huge problem with the fact that Santa Clara County & all programs (private, govt or state funded) will rehabilitate and reintroduced felons into the community, but if you're poor, homeless, no record, are looking for work, have high intelligence; sorry, you can't get help. This sounds extremely cynical and jaded, but I am a little after going through all I have.
I have been told constantly “I wish I could do something but we don't have any programs to help you.” My favorite reply is: "Yeah and you have done everything. I'm surprised you even knew about all the programs you did"
I have talked to employment counselors, program coordinators, program advocates and case managers, volunteers, just about anyone. The bankruptcy is hindering my chances of securing housing, even if I had employment.

The icing on the cake has to be with food stamps and General Assistance. I qualified for Cal-Fresh. However, at the time I had a car worth $2200. So I wasn't able to get General Assistance. Fast Forward a year later, I HAD to sell my car to pay bills. Now this month when I went for General Assistance, I qualify.

It's a never ending cycle, a constant push down. I can take public transportation to work, but to get around and see my boys and being able to transport them would be extremely difficult, not to mention financially stressing. I have scoured employment books, read articles, searched the library, spent hours online trying to find a job, program, a company, anybody who could be a resource whether for low income assistance or employment.
I can probably tell you about a plethora of services this county (Santa Clara) offers for both income assistance and job services.I am registered with CALJOBS; I know all the career sites and have my resume there. I get interviews, however I am starting to think the bankruptcy from loss of business is holding me back when employers do background check.
I also could teach the business writing class or the resume writing classes they offer at Work2Future, I practically did when I took them. I could do the same at Sacred Heart. I've been to InnVision and EHC. I’ve talked to Sunnyvale Community Services. Boy he was a treat he sounded older then my 80 yr old grandma. When I said I need housing and employment help, he gruffly told me to check the newspaper and hung up. I've called St Josephs in Gilroy. I've talked to a program coordinator at West Valley Community Services. I called the Sobrato Organization hoping they had ties to something and one the employees just by grace of god happened to pick up and take my call. I was able to talk to someone at HIF (they couldn't help)
.
I am responsible, respectable and just want to work, have a place to live, and be able to have my children 50/50. I have no police record. I am not in recovery, nor have I ever had to be in a program
I want to work and am attaching a compilation of ALL my work skills. I would not send this out otherwise, I would tailor it specifically to the job I am applying for.

I used to volunteer as much as I could I like being active in my community and helping others. I'm still about that I believe in PAY IT FORWARD. I believe the good you do comes back to you tenfold and that no matter what is going wrong in your life, someone else is struggling just as much if not more; so be thankful for what you have.
I attend church and was a hospitality volunteer for that as well.
I just need help getting on my feet. I have no family, other than my children here in CA.
I do not want to move back east and be far away from them. I want to work, I want to live again. I want to smile and mean it.

I hate what my life has become and know that I am SO MUCH BETTER THEN THIS.
Please help me : money is fine, but it's only a temporary fix, please help me find a program that can assist me in getting on my feet, direct me to employment, and most of all afford me the opportunity to have my children much more consistently so I can be a mom again.
Thank you

Last year I was diagnosed with severe Chrohn's disease and lupus. The medications they have given are not helping. I was forced to quit my job of 2 1/2 years because of this I applied for disability. I am on my second appeal and have been told I have to wait another year at least for a hearing. My wife has been putting in applications left and right to no avail. We are receiving ebt to feed us and our 3 children. Our land taxes are becoming due at the end of april and if we do not pay the 2300.00 we own we will lose our home. We also have a 796.00 power bill that is owed in less then a week or our power will be shut off. This isn't easy for me to ask for help i have always supported my family until now.Any help would be most appreciated. Thank you so much.

Hello, I am 28 and pregnant with my 2nd child. My husband and I have a 3 yr old. I work full time making 7.62 an hour my husband is disabled he is 30 yrs old fighting for his disability. He hasnt been able to work fr over a year and his diability is in appeal We were getting help from my mother in law she did end up not doing so instead she made uithings horrible she wrote hot checks for our rent and all three of our names are on the lease now we have a very limited time with a house to live in or any k ind shelter. for us. We had no idea this was happening until it was too late we had to go to court and to say the least my mother in law didn't show up or even try to take care of the checks she wrote so here we are me pregnant my husband disabled can hardly walk and a 3yr old about to be homeless. We found a mobile home for sell for cheap but we both have bad credit and can't get a loan for it. This place would be perfect if we could just buy it. We desperately need help. This is really difficult to beg for help but I feel so lost and not sure what else to do please help if you can thank you and God bless

I have been fostering feral cats in my rented home for about a year. They are desperately hungry pitiful creatures and I provide them with food, beds, blankets and shelters on the property. Now my landlord has decided he wants to sell the home and refuses to renew the lease. We are hoping to raise enough money to be able to buy the house and stay in the home. If we have to leave the property then these poor creatures will be lost and abandoned once again. We have been able to bring in some of the kittens but most of them are ferals and they are not adoptable. Their only hope for survival is to continue to come to us for food and shelter. We spend all the spare money we have to feed them and we just do not have the funds to put a down payment on the house. These cats have come to view the home as a place to eat and sleep and feel safe. So much so that one of them was out and got hit by a car. In the middle of the night with a broken hip she managed to crawl her way back to our house where we are currently nursing her back to health. We feel so guilty abandoning them since they have come to depend on our sanctury and wil be lost and miserable if we move. Please please I appeal to all you animal lovers to help us raise enough money to buy the home and take care of these precious creatures who have been completely abandoned to the world. We are their only salvation. Please help our time is very limited.

I need to rasie some money for my medical bills. I am 40 years old and a single mother of 3 children. I have had my share of medical problems from Stroke to depression but last year was the icing on the cake. I had went to my cousins' house and was helping him with arrangements for his wifes funeral (breast cancer) when I couldn't sleep. And when I say I couldn't sleep it was 4 days before I could fall asleep. I thought that it was just stress and noticed my shorts falling off. So I weighted myself and was in shock. Before the trip I weighted 248lbs but the scale said 219lbs. I couldn't figure what was going on because I had been eating more than ever. So I left my cousin and came home and went to my doctor. He wanted to run some test, he felt a lump in my throat. The Ultrasound showed some nodules and needed to have a biopsy. During the biopsy the doctor mentioned the spots to be calcified which meant noting to worry about. I was so happy. Then the next day my doctor called me at home and said we need to talk. I told him I know it's nothing since it was calcified and he said no that it is cancer. That a rare number of people will have this type of cancer. So I am unlucky. How can I be that 1 person in a million. Why couldn't I have hit the lottery. I am unable to work due to the dizzyspells and the fainting I have from this. I also have the shakes so bad that I look as if I will spill everything I touch. I had welfare insurance which covers the treatments but I am required to work for the system to keep the insurance and my doctor and my body will not allow this. I have worked all my life in the medical field until I became ill. I have applied for SSD and had to appeal the out come because this type of cancer is not covered by there means. So I am now stuck. I need surgury but have no means to pay. My doctor is willing to allow me to make payments while I get treatment but still need to upfront a part of the cost before they can do anything. So please help me.

I am from Flint, MI. When I entered the career force things were booming. I became a project manager at a local stone shop. I was paid well, had good benefits, and lots of vacation time. Life was grand. Then due to the economy busrting i was let go. He said he had no choice. Half of the shop was let go. Eventually the company crumbled. I've been out of work for almost 3 years now. Thank God my wife has a good job or we would be out on the streets. To make matters worse I have become disabled. Even to the point that I can't work if there were work in this city. I worry my wife will leave me. I have appled for disablity and was rejected. I then got an attorney and she is helping me appeal it. My wife does everything she can but it just doen't pay all the bills. I wish there was more I could do but I'm just not able, at least for now, to provide. It kills me inside. Please know that I am a good man fallen on hard times. Anything will help. Thank you

I am an aspiring information technology student in kenya but unfortunately cannot raise my fee which is 900 dollars a semester considering the jobs i am able to do. Which leads me to appeal to anyone out there reading this and has something small to spare i will highly appreciate. Any kind guesture will be recieved greatfully.

I’ve never asked for any kind of help before, and certainly not from people that I have never met! But my situation has become so desperate that I really do need help.
I have, for the last 15 years, struggled to make ends meet, following periods of ill-health, bad luck and catastrophic decision making. My circumstances are now very desperate indeed, and have even considered suicide.
In 1997 I suffered from a period of depression, that became so severe that I was forced to give up my job, and borrowed money to cover my mortgage and keep my house. Unfortunately the repayments on this ever increasing debt snowballed, and I found myself unable to meet my mortgage and household bills. I had ploughed my life savings into the home, and lost it all.
In 2006 I was approached by a friend, who was concerned for my financial circumstances, and suggested that we buy an old property, renovate it and sell it for a profit. I was desperate to make some money, and trusted my friend. I would refer you to full details of this in my Beg, as the project ended in complete failure having been ripped off by an unscrupulous builder. Work that should have taken 3 months took in excess of 9, and I ended up carrying out all the work myself. I regularly worked at the house from the early hours until well past midnight. The long hours left me exhausted, and in October 2008 I had a breakdown. I simply couldn’t carry on, and collapsed at work. My employer at the time was an unforgiving and vindictive man, and he said that I would be suspended if my work didn’t improve. I was afraid that I would lose my job, and under considerable psychological pressure from my employer I was forced to resign.
Following the failed business venture, which had plunged me into further debt, my breakdown and subsequent loss of my job, I simply couldn’t cope and pushed me into a long period of depression that became so severe that I planned to take my life. At the time I was so ill that I was unable to hold down a job, and this simply added to my woes - whilst out of work and undergoing intensive counselling I borrowed further. By the end of 2009 I was £15,000 ($23,250) in debt. I desperately want to rebuild my life now, but it is difficult to do so when I am saddled with a debt that is crippling me. Between 2009 and December 2010 my debt increased - there is no answer to it, and I will never ever me able to clear the £18,000 ($27,900) that I now owe. It is a debt that cripples me and prevents me from having a normal, happy life. I am 50 in February 2012, but have no future. I am tired of being worried, stressed, unable to sleep, and being depressed. Please, please help me start my life all over again. Please read my full story, and contact me if you have any questions. Thank you.

My name is Marie and this appeal is for help to fix my 2003 Dodge. The transmission pump has gone out and now it needs to be rebuilt. The cheapest estimate I have got is 1,700. I'm a college student in my junior year and trying to finish up my last semester. It's tough not having transportation. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Although I am very prideful, I have found the need to ASK for help. I was laid-off in October of this year and although it was a setback I was somewhat confident that I would find another job quickly. Well that just has not been the case. Bills are mounting and I am at risk of having my lights turned off in 2 days, but the thing that bothers me most is not being able to give my children Christmas this year. Never have I not been able to give my kids anything! I feel so low right now. It seems to be one thing after the other, you have no food... Then you find a way to get groceries but, now your phone has been turned off! You feel like you can't win for losing and more than help I just want to be able to help myself. Left with little to no choice, my only hope right now is to appeal to someone who may have an abundance of kindness and hope they happen upon my story. Please help me, find it in your heart.

I am suffering from diabetes, depression, giddiness, backache, tension headache, anxiety, high cholesterol and on daily medication. I have no money to see Doctor for a medical check-up and medicines as I need the medicines urgently due to my daily medication have finished. It is very dangerous to stop taking medicines for the chronic diseases. My age, 59 years old, unemployed due to poor health.

My only son is living with me and his age, 33 years old, unemployed due to poor health. He is suffering from asthma, high cholesterol and eczema and on daily medication. Every time he went out, he have to bring along his inhale. He wish to study the University of London (UOL) Diploma in law for full time course in April, 2012. He was told to pay his school fee $12,700 to ITC and UOL now in order for him to attend the said class at ITC next year April 2012. Appreciate if you can help him.

My wife was separated from me since 2009 living us in the lurch.

Both my parents has passed away.

All Relatives and All Friends see us automatically ignore and avoid us due to us no money.

Our main gate door was spoilt and need to change immediately without delay to prevent strangers enter my house, my kitchen windows was also faulty and need to change immediately without delay it was given warning by the authority due to the windows will fall any time and very dangerous to hit people passers-by causing injuries.

We need $3,800 and $12,700 total is $16,500 now to pay school fee, bills, daily living expenses and medical fees compulsory.

We are very worries, stress, anxiety and daily living in fear without daily income.

We pray that good people will help and save us between life and death to enable us to continue survive without living in fear. We seek your understanding.

In view of the premises, I humbly pray that my appeal will be considered favourably.

Looking forward to hear from you shortly.


Thank You.

I am a mother of two girls who just got laid off.I have applied for unemployement but was denied.I am currently waiting for an appeal hearing.I have no heat and hot water.The gas company says i need to get 480 dollars to turn it on.I am desperate to provide warmth for my girls before it gets really cold.I have went to every social service agency in the county but they all say they have no funding,We are not having christmas this year but i just want the kids to be warm.Please help if you can..Thank You in advance

I am disabled and my medicare did not cover $8000 in expenses. I cant work and can only try to participate in good will activities for others when Im feeling fairly well. I tried the other avenues for public or private assistance. The only things left are to go door to door or stand on the highway with a sign like Ive seen others do. I couldn't even do that because of limited muscle and breathing capability. So something like appeal to a broad area like I'm doing could produce assistance, or I'm totally on my own and will have to anticipate a miracle and/or the end of the need for this kind of assistance. At least use your thoughts in the best way you know how for myself and others. I am doing so.

I'm out of work due to medical issues and being denied for short term disability (2 times now). It can take another 45 days to hear back on my most recent appeal. I'm selling my daughters outgrown clothing.

All clothes are between 2t-5/5t and are Gap or Gymboree brand. Most all are outfits, some with numerous pieces per lines. All are washing in cold, on delicate, and HUNG to dry! I take very good care of my daughters clothing since it was a hobby of mine to sell/trade her gymbo and gap. Now it's for survival!

I have mostly spring/summer lines, but still some winter as well. Alot of the spring/summer lines have matching sandals as well. Prices go based on outfit.

hello my parents died of cancer nine months of the year interval of my eighteen years forcing me to stop my studies I wish I could keep them but I now have no money I appeal to your charity permetra me to continue my study of pharmacy
Give what you can
I pray God to bless you

My husband and I are disabled, have no reliable income and have been denied SSI benefits. While we appeal the decisions from SSA, we have been relying on sporadic work (odd jobs, working online) and help from friends to provide for our basic needs. We were recently homeless for six weeks. A friend was later able to help us with the cost of a residential hotel for a few weeks, but she can no longer help at this point.

Our rent for next week is due in less than 8 hours, and we are $150 short. We have prayed for last-minute work, donations and/or loans, but nothing has come through. We have contacted countless social service organizations; all of them have told us that there is nothing they can do to help us right now.

It is getting very cold in New England, especially at night, and we are terrified of sleeping on the street again, in the cold, with all of our health issues (including chronic pain).

Any help that can be offered to us at this point would be very much appreciated and make a huge difference to us. Please help if you can.

UPDATE: We were able to borrow the bulk of this week's rent and have another week to work on finding a better housing solution; we're extremely grateful. We now have two weeks to repay the loan and need to continue to keep a roof overhead at the same time. Any donations will continue to be extremely helpful and very much appreciated by us.

I moved here 2 years ago from a small town to start over after a failed marriage. Tried initially to keep the kids with me but couldn't pay daycare and refused to leave them alone. They went back with their dad, who is a good dad even if he wasn't a very good husband. Found a mediocre nursing school whose only appeal was the lack of a 2-year waiting list, and set out to achieve the dream I'd been trying to since 20 years ago, when my son was abducted and I dropped out of RN school in the emotional firestorm that ensued for my remaining son and I. I found him alive 2 weeks after graduating, living with his father up north. Now I graduated, working as a CNA, driving 40 miles each way for work, and barely surviving. My situation is this. I want to be reunited with my children, including my oldest who lives up in Colorado with my first grandchild, who I have never met. And I haven't seen him since 2009. I've got school bills, student loan bills, my phone (lifeline to find another job, which I'm trying so hard to do), and car insurance. That's serious business in Texas, folks-car insurance. Anyway it's only 47 a month but I still can't afford it this month. Phone, likewise. During the two weeks between my CNA pay (probably 5-600) and the next two weeks when I'm praying to god I'll pick up some overtime and maybe even get my graduate license going online, I've got not enough for gas and food after paying for the studio I'm in. Didn't want a year lease because my dream is to live near the people I love most in the world, and to finally see the sweet face of my son, who has been missing since he was 2 and a half years old. I'm strapped, sad, feel desperate and feel like crying all the time. Can't get public assistance because I've got a job and the kids don't live with me, even though I'm sending what I can, as I can, to their dad. Part of my survival issues-catch 22 that if you send money, you don't have it to pay to visit or have them visit. My heart feels like it's breaking all the time and I try to keep a smile for these sweet little old people I take care of at work..not easy. 4 or 500 would wrap it up, and you give me your email, I'll either give it back to you or to another person who needs it, and prove it with documentation. I think in 3 or 4 weeks things may be different, after the graduate license becomes active and I can schedule my exam and work as a graduate. Until then, God bless us all and I remain faithful and steadfast, if shaken..
Thanks for listening
