I was married for 4 years to a person who had lied to me about his past and identity. He told me his wife before me was pregnant and killed by a drunk driver, he went to Texas A&M, and that he had earned medals serving as a marine. NONE of it was true. He deserted his first wife as he did me. He never went to college and he ordered medals off the internet. He used my SSN to open an AMEX card online and ran it up into thousands and thousands. I didn't know it existed. My father had to pay it to keep me out of serious trouble. He became physically and verbally violent. Pushed me out of a car on the interstate, held a gun to my head..scared me. I kept everything hidden from the world around me. Tried to keep up my appearance smiling. I tried to get him mental help but he only vanished on me. The divorce was exhausting. I am a first grade teacher, well respected in the community, and it took all I had to get up every morning for my children. I need some money to help me get back into life. Get on my feet. Afford some professional help to heal and move forward, forgive, forget, stop crying and fearing life and people, pay off debt...and to just lift all this burden and be happy again. I just want to be happy and stop crying every morning and night. I can't stand it anymore. I must move forward.

Im in need of Costume/wardrobe cosmetic, materials for a Photo Shoot. I really wish you can help me, if it was easy for me to wake up naturally beautiful I would not have this need, or if I had the money I would not ask for your kindness....

I don't know how this really works, or if it even does, but at this point I've tried everything else, I've written to Dr. Phil, Opera, The Doctors, Maury and Steve Wilkos and I'm at my breaking point. My beautiful daughter who is about to turn 12 in January has had 1 wish since she was 2 years old. She wants to go to DISNEY WORLD. Her PaPa told her when she turned 5, he would take her, well here we are at almost 12 and he broke his promise to her and broke her heart. My daughter has CUSHINGS DISEASE, If you don't know what that is please google it, it is a terrible disease that is destroying my daughters body. It causes her to be extremely obese, muscle pain, thinning of the bones and so much more. This disease not only affects her body, it affects her in so many other ways, she just started 6th grade and already has several bullies making fun of her because of her appearance. This is a little girl who loves life! She loves to do so many things, sing, dance, and hang out with her friends. She has the biggest heart you'll ever know and would do anything in the world for you. She is my world. She has been through so much in the past 2 years. The loss of her grandmother, which whom we lived with, my mother was my daughters world. The loss of our home has also had a toll on her, us having to live in a motel or with a friend when they can have us, messes with her routine, having to up root her and go here and there. I just can't afford a place of our own right now, paying for medicines and doctors appointments for the both of us and my son whom has Tourrettes leaves me with very little. I am on disability and we have to live off of my check, which is not enough. I know the last thing I should think about is going to DISNEY, but It would make my daughter so happy, and for once, something she has wished for could possibly come true. I so desperately want to do this for her. What a wonderful gift it would be. If there is anyway anyone could help me with this request, please contact me via email @ dolfinfanatic@gmail.com as I do not have the funds to obtain a pay pal account. Thank you so very much for taking the time to read my plea. HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND GOD BLESS.

A Desperate Plea for HELP… Donations for Luxating Patella Surgery!


I have a Service Dog named FiFi who is a Medical Alert Dog.
My Service Dog has been diagnosed with an extreme case of Severe Bilateral Medical Luxating Patella, confirmed by two separate veterinarians, who consider it to be a chronic and serious medical condition. The grooves in her femurs, where the kneecaps are supposed to ride, are very shallow and have caused her kneecaps to slip out of socket to the inside of the legs. Her kneecaps cannot be manipulated back into place by hand.
She has developed the condition bilaterally, on both sides, her condition is at a Grade 5 out of 5 in both hind knees, which is the most severe, and she needs surgery ASAP on both limbs.

The Luxating Patellas are causing constant pain and discomfort, decreased energy level, tiring quickly, bony protuberances, bowlegged, crouching stance, swollen knees and joints, poor coordination, loss of balance, limited mobility, stiffness when walking, a change in posture, lack of appetite, and arthritis pain.
When she is able to walk she does so with one of her hind legs further out from her body, while the other affected limb is always being carried because it is much too painful to use. For the most part, she must balance her weight on her front legs as she walks, while holding her hindquarters off the ground, which is severely uncomfortable to say the least. She is no longer able to walk, or even stand on her left hind leg, and is not able to move it.

The recommendation is for her to have corrective surgery on both knees within 2 weeks. The surgeon advised that, if left untreated, the condition will worsen and may lead to rupture of the cruciate ligament as well as painful deformation of the leg bones as she continues to grow. The surgery involves deepening the trochlear groove and modifying the joint capsule to prevent the kneecap from slipping out. If there is significant deformation of the leg bones, they will have to be cut, realigned and pinned. She will have approximately 8 weeks of recovery time.

As you can imagine, this surgery will not be cheap. The estimated cost (at a reduced price) is approx. $1,900 to $2,000, per leg, not including pre-op lab work, post-op rechecks, X-rays, narcotic pain medicine, a custom-built Wheelchair for Toy Breeds (to help her get around), plus miscellaneous other medical supplies that she will need after surgery. The Wheelchair (as prescribed by her Veterinarian) must be ordered online and costs $249.00+ Tax + Shipping and Handling charges).

If FiFi does not get the surgery she needs she will be forced to live a life of constant pain with a permanent luxation that could develop into degenerative joint changes, bone deformities of the femur and tibia, and may not be able to walk ever again!

Any donation that you can make towards FiFi's surgery would be greatly appreciated!

FiFi is an adorable Toy Pomeranian with a Sweet and Loving Disposition; a Sparkling Personality and Magical Charm. She is very clever, well-mannered, and is unusually calm and quiet. She is one smart dog!
She has brought so much Joy and Blessing into my life; I can't ever imagine life without her! Wherever I go, FiFi brings out the best in people. I know she brings out the best in me. I have formed a special bond with FiFi. She is not only my Service Dog; she is also my Best Friend and part of my Family.

My dog is a Service Dog, and she's paid her dues. It is a lot of money, but my dog deserves it. She's only 7 years old.

If it were for me, I would not ask for help.

But it's for FiFi!

Thank you all in advance for your donations, prayers and support!!


P.S. I can provide good personal and veterinary references to testify that I am a loving and responsible pet parent. I can also provide medical documentation from FiFi’s Veterinarian to verify her diagnosis and medical condition.

Definition of Luxating Patella:

(Luxated Patellas are a congenital (present at birth) condition. The actual luxation may not be present at birth, but the structural changes which lead to luxation are present. A Luxating Patella, or Patellar Luxation, is a condition that involves the dislocation of the knee cap, where it rotates to either the inside or the outside of the leg. A Luxating Patella can result from a traumatic injury or from a birth defect, but it is primarily passed down through ancestral genes).
Grade IV. The Patella cannot be replaced manually, and the leg is carried or used in a crouching position. Extension of the stifle is virtually impossible. Tibial rotation is quite severe, resulting in a "bow legged" appearance.

My husband needs dentures. He has lost out on several job opportunities due to his appearance. Any and all donations would be greatly appreciated. The estimated cost is $5000.00

i am trying to raise 5000 to get my family out of debt...we are behind on our monthly bills as my husband is disabled...medicare should help with his surgery and hopefully he can return to a normal life and work...but he desperatly needs glasses and dental work which we cannot afford right now as medicare does not cover...and has you know appearance plays a big part in finding a job

HI my name is Amber, Im 28 years old, but look like im like 16. Why you ask, because I'm short, like 4'6, but my personality is big. Im just down on my luck right now, hoping for a miracle.

I was born with neuroblastoma, which is a cancer that affected my spine. Doctors told my parents I wouldn't survive, but here I am. Gave me severe scoliosis though, hence why im so short. I like to say, who wants to be straight, thats soo unoriginal. I have 2 kids, which packed on 10 pounds, im now 90lbs, I know not a lot but I'm 4'6 remember ;o)

But anywho, because Im a bit crooked, the weights kinda given me a love handle on one side, and one hangy boob, picture a picaso painting, lol. So I'd like to get money to enhance my appearance... I know I can't change my back, but the love handle I sure would love to target ;o) So I've never asked for money like this before but I figure it can't hurt. Any little help makes my life a little bit easier. Thank you, and have a blessed day.

Hi I'm very ashamed of having to post on here but I have nobody else be it family or friends that can help.I'm in my mid-20's with a fiance who might marry me but nothing seems to go wright in our live's we also have a two and a half year old daughter who is the light of our life. Every choice I've made in the past tree years has been for her!I know theirs alot of other kids out there that have had it rough some more than others my childhood wasn't the greatest and I want to strive not to let her have anything like that. My problems being bills and rent and it seem like life in general have started to slip away and it gets worst everyday. I lost my job and I look for another almost everyday just to get turned down because of ether no work the wrong skills or possibly because of my appearance i haven't health insurance in about a decade I have very poor teeth which does not make a good impression to any employer so I ask for your help for maybe dental service or just help to get a job or the skills needed to succeed in life.Thanks to anyone out there

I am raising money to pay for rhinoplasty surgery. I could go on and on about the bullying I've endured due to my imperfect nose, but what is most important is the way that I feel about my appearance. My nose has held me back for a long time and stopped me from doing things that I want to do. For instance, when I was married three years ago to my husband before he deployed the plan was to have a large wedding when he came home but when I sat down to plan my wedding I realized that I would never be able to look at wedding photos of myself and not feel ugly and humiliated so I ceased wedding planning and never got my dream wedding. Because of my feelings about my appearance I don't keep any photos of myself in my house because all I can focus on is my nose. I've tried to make peace with my appearance and said that I would never have surgery to alter my nose but I am finally ready to undergo surgery. I have made an informed decision and chosen one the best surgeon that I can possibly find now I just need some help paying for it. My total cost for surgery will be $7,900 and every little bit will help me and be tremendously appreciated. Thank you!

Hieveryone. This is the first time I do this and I am here becuase of a harsh time I face. I am an origami artist and I have no actual job because I get continually discriminated in South Texas for my appearance and people prejudice my paper art that it will not sell. I currently owe to IBC bank for an approximate 600 dollars and I am trying to raise money by selling my cherished paper roses for 1 dollar to everyone at several Burger Kings in several cities. I believe that I should work for my own money, but help has not been enough and jobs are not hiring me. I need dotanions, whether they be small or as you please, but I feel like my art is not rendering enough money each day. Please donate to my cause and as soon as I complete my debt to IBC Bank, then I can sell my origami art to keep me stable.

I'm a recently homeless business professional. No drug, alcohol, emotional, etc... problems. Just a tragic turn of events made me homeless and broke 2 months ago. I have a job interview with a bank, and will need a suit, shoes, etc... asap to take me through the interview process. I'm living in a homeless shelter, so I have food and a roof. I would be eternally grateful if someone could help me with my clothing need. Either donated clothing, or a loan for new clothing. If I get the job, I'd receive a signing bonus and could immediately repay a loan. My clothing sizes: Suit: 41L Shirt 15 ½ 34 Slacks: 33/33 Shoes: 11.5. Ideal setup: conservative navy blue 3 button suit, conservative cap toe oxford black lace up shoes, conservative black belt gold buckle. I have a good shirt. They must be top quality - well fitted. Someone could either send the clothes directly to my Case Manager at the shelter, or if it was for a loan, they could authorize a menswear store with credit - include your paypal details so I could repay you when I get the job??? Open to ideas. For this type of banking job, appearance is paramount, and I'm in a very bad situation at the moment. Please donate what you can, or perhaps a menswear store can help? Thank you so much.

I am a single mother of an eight month old boy, having to stay with people so that he has a roof over his head. I lost my job of two years in August 2009 as soon as my Nursing Director found out I was pregnant. I have been trying to get a job since then and have put in applications everywhere. I have tried everywhere from gas stations to hospitals with no luck. They either don't have any positions open or require experience or a degree. I have neither and do not understand how they can expect me to have experience if they won't hire me so that I can get experience. Also some jobs won't hire me because I have Bell's Palsy and Scoliosis; Scoliosis because I am considered an insurance liability if I hurt my back on the job, and Bell's Palsy because they don't want me to work at the front desk to represent their company because the right side of my mouth does not work at all, I cannot smile my right eye does not fully close and waters frequently. I have been told that they need someone with a "sunny appearance" and that I just do not fit that description. Things that I can't help are holding me back from getting a job. I was unable to get my unemployment benefits because my former Nursing Director told them that I quit due to an illness. They then sent me a letter that says pregnant women are not physically fit for suitable work and that in order to get on unemployment I have to work at another job for 30 days. I don't know what to do. I have been looking for a job for over a year. I have been taking care of my eight month old son by picking up change people drop. I really need help and would be so grateful for any kind of assistance I can get. I cannot even get help from the government because I do not have ten people not related to me, that can be reached during the day, that have known me for more than one year, to sign a paper stating that I have no income and that I am actively searching for a job. Everyone that could sign for me is either working during the day, or related to me. I need help to move somewhere that I can get a job. Any job will do, I just need to be able to support my son. I need help getting back on my feet. I would like to thank anyone who might be able to help me in advance.

Help me be the kind of girl you like to pass when walking down the street. I am not an unattractive female, but I am over weight and have a few flaws I would like to...repair.
I am relatively healthy and looks are not the most important thing in the world and you could make a more traditional charitable contribution elsewhere, or you could say this is interesting and get a kick out of helping a young lady look her best.
I have never had plastic surgery before, and I am not interested in changing my overall appearance and creating a completely unnatural look for myself. I just want to improve some things and I cannot afford to do that without your financial contributions.
~I like my breasts, they are set high on my chest, nice and naturally round a very nice solid C cup, cute pert nipples, but I'm not 19 anymore and I would like a little lift nothing drastic no augmentation no reduction, just a lift.
~I like my face, I like my normal sized forehead, my nice not to thin not too thick eyebrows that feature a strong though not severe natural arch. I like my pretty and frequently complemented green eyes and their decent lashes that need only a coat of mascara to stand out, but I hate the furrows in my forehead, the crease in my brow and fear crow’s feet.
~My natural body shape leans toward the "hour glass figure" bigger breasts and butt than waist. However my shape seems to have gotten lost recently and no matter how much I change the foods I eat or the frequency that I eat them, I can never seem to lose more than 60 pounds :( and exercising helps me to feel great, but I really only firm up, I don't shrink. I am not looking to be a stick figure; I just want my nice natural shape back.
~I like my lips; someone once said to me, "you have Clara Bow lips" turns out Clara Bow was a silent film star. So my lips are beautiful and I worry about getting lines around them or losing their fullness, but I do not smoke and do not have any lines there yet. :)
I do not have kids, I am a good deal less than 40 and I enjoy outdoor activities. Help me keep the outdoors beautiful! ;)
F.Y.I.:
*The average cost of a breast lift varies from $3,500 to $6,000. Cost for anesthesia ranges from $1,000 to $1,300. The facility fee (or hospital fee) ranges from $500 to $1,500. The remaining cost is the surgeon's fee.
* The average cost of botox injections is around $450 - $500 per injection. Multiple injections are usually given at one time, so the cost can add up quickly.
*Portrait Plasma Skin regeneration (high energy, PSR3) is an exceptionally safe skin resurfacing modality when used by an experienced practitioner (it is somewhat technique dependent). Charge for a PSR3 can be $3500 and up, depending on the skin type. PSR1 treatments (low energy, multiple treatments) typically run $1500 for full-face treatment.
*Juvederm cost typically ranges between $800 and $1,300 per syringe, depending on the formula used and other factors. In some cases, a second syringe may be needed for a fully satisfactory outcome. Some practices may offer a reduced rate for the second syringe in these cases. ArteFill treatment now costs $1,000 per syringe. You may want to ask your doctor about payment plan options.
*Typically, Liposuction will cost an individual between USD $4,000 for 2 small areas and as much as USD $10,000 for 5 areas, but your Liposuction surgeon will have a more specific idea of the Liposuction cost after a consultation. On average, Liposuction in the U.S. costs $2,000 per body area treated. While the cost of the lower and mid body lift procedure generally ranges from $6,000 to $8,000, a full body lift typically costs $10,000 to $17,000, but can go up to $50,000 depending on the extent of treatment. The only way to determine the exact cost of lower or upper body lift surgery is to contact a plastic surgeon in your area for a full consultation.

Hi,
I have been out of work for some time now. Before the few months I had a job I was studying and I was poor as well. So I never had much money for clothes. I am just so shy and ashamed of my appearance and I go for interviews almost looking as a homeless. I need money for everything but I really need new clothes to gain a bit more confidence. Almost all my clothes are ruined and I used them since forever. I am just so sick of it!

Please make a person happy today.
Thanks.

Hello all readers,
Like most people here I have been facing tough times for many years as I have not been able to work since '04 and don't qualify for Social Security. I have tried to hold on as long as I could, but I recently lost my mother and a month later I lost my son to a drug overdose. This strain alone took it's toll on my health and I have no money for all of my bills or food for my dog and I. I have no friends as I am embarrassed by my lack of teeth which have fallen out due to malnutrition. I could never even face an interviewer for even the smallest of jobs due to the appearance of my teeth, not to mention the daily pain I go through with them. I am not very old and I am so ashamed of my appearance. I feel bad asking for help as I have never had to do this before, but if there is anyone out there who can help me, I would be eternally grateful.
Thank you and God bless you all!
